Memo to Planning Commission/P 99-14&CU 99-36 December 28, 1999 Page 2 the Home Depot store and the associated parking. Proposed Outlot A will be • 2.27 acres and would contain a future freestanding commercial building, future commercial space attached to the Home Depot building and parking. Currently all three of the proposed commercial spaces are located on one lot. At the time when the freestanding building or the attached retail space is constructed, Outlot A will be platted. It is likely that Outlot A will be platted into 2 lots, one for the freestanding building and one for the attached retail space. Grading, drainage and utility issues are addressed in the City Engineer's memo. Park and recreation fees and stormwater management fees were paid when the property was platted as Elk River Crossing; therefore, no additional fees will be collected with this plat. Development Plans The applicant is proposing to construct a 120,000 square foot home improvement store with 11,000 square feet of fenced outdoor storage. The outdoor storage area will also be utilized as part of the garden center during the spring and summer. The Commission is being asked to consider this III request prior to final plat approval for the Home Depot Addition. The City Council will consider the final plat concurrently with this request. The site plan was compared to the development plan approved as part of the conditional use permit for the PUD. The approved development plan included a 112,000 square foot home improvement building with 32,000 square feet of attached retail space. The proposed plan shows a 120,327 square foot home improvement store and 11,585 square feet of attached retail space. The proposed plan has 12,000 square feet less than what was approved in the development plan for the PUD. At this time the Planning Commission is being asked to consider only the 120,327 square foot Home Depot, it's associated parking and landscaping. The builder of the attached retail space will have to apply for a separate conditional use permit if and when they move forward with construction. Parking and Access The plan shows 641 parking spaces to be included as part of this project. The 120,327 square foot store requires 602 parking spaces. Only 570 spaces will be constructed as part of this project; 71 spaces are shown as "proof of • parking" along Zane Street and will be constructed if needed in the future. S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\CU9936.DOC
