Memo to Planning Commission/CU 98-3 February 24, 1998 Page 2 • The proposed hours are Monday through Thursday 3 - 8 p.m., Friday 3 - 9:30 p.m. and Saturday 1 - 9:30 p.m., and closed on Sundays unless demand necessitates it to be open. The center will be staffed by one adult. Please refer to the memo from Jeff Asfahl which explains in further detail the proposal for the youth center. Parking The former restaurant site has adequate parking with 46 stalls in the front lot, 36 in the rear, and 9 on the south side of the building. Two of the stalls on the south side of the building are handicap accessible. There is an adequate drop-off area to serve the youth center. The site has three access point; two entrances off Dodge, and one off a shared drive south of the property in the rear. The shared drive serves two office buildings; one behind the restaurant, and one adjacent. The curb cut of the southwest front entrance off Dodged is misaligned with the driving lane and allows entering vehicles to conflict with parked cars. These 9 parking stalls could be eliminated if adequate parking remains. Landscaping The existing landscape consists of 3 trees in the front lot (south lot line), 3 trees north of the building and 4 trees in the back (north lot line). There is 3'- 4' shrubbery around the entrance of the building and south foundation. Additional shrubs surround the entrance sign by Dodge. The shrubs around the building entrance are overgrown and should be trimmed or removed. No additional landscaping is needed. Signage If there is to be any signage, the space on the freestanding pylon will be utilized. Police Department Recommendations See the attached Police Department memo.
