Memo to Planning Commission/CU 98-11 <br /> April 28, 1998 <br /> Page 3 <br /> • recommend the Planning Commission postpone action until this <br /> report has been submitted and reviewed. <br /> 2. The site is proposed to have two access points; one off of Jackson <br /> Road and another off of Freeport Avenue. The access off of <br /> Freeport Avenue will be a shared driveway with TCF <br /> immediately to the south. The driveway's design as it intersects <br /> with Freeport Avenue will allow for both left and right turn <br /> movements from both these parcels onto Freeport Avenue. <br /> Since this will be a shared driveway, a cross access agreement <br /> will need to be executed between the two properties to allow for <br /> ingress and egress. <br /> 3. As mentioned, there are six drive-thru lanes for the auto bank. <br /> Each of these lanes provides for queuing for 5 vehicles as <br /> prescribed in the ordinance. The one modification staff would <br /> recommend is reducing the opening of the driveway as the cars <br /> leave the auto bank onto the private driveway. The proposed <br /> plans show a driveway opening of 74 feet. Staff would <br /> recommend tapering this driveway down to a driveway opening <br /> of approximately 36 feet to control the vehicles leaving the auto <br /> • bank. In addition, the auto bank entrance from the west could <br /> be narrowed in a similar manner. This may reduce the queuing <br /> distance; however, with the number of drive-thru lanes, this <br /> should not be a problem. <br /> 4. The plans show a future building expansion of 4,000 square feet <br /> extending to the west of the proposed building. The addition <br /> would eliminate some of the parking stalls proposed with the <br /> first addition. The future addition will require additional <br /> parking and based on the plan that has been submitted it is <br /> unclear where the required parking would occur. The plan does <br /> reflect future parking stalls, however, it doesn't appear the <br /> ordinance requirement is being met. The first phase as <br /> proposed meets all the City parking requirements. <br /> 5. The driveway onto Jackson Road is designed at 28 feet which <br /> will allow for two-way traffic. As proposed, the driveway <br /> intersects with Jackson Road at an angle which should be <br /> adjusted by curving the driveway and creating a perpendicular <br /> intersection with Jackson Road. <br /> 6. The retaining wall along the northern parking area is about 2 <br /> 1111 feet from the pedestrian trail. The wall is three feet high. <br /> s:\planning\pc\cu98-11.doc <br />
