Memo to the Planning Commission/CU 00-7 March 28,2000 Page 2 drive-up area on a 1.9-acre lot in Elk Park Center Planned Unit • Development. Conditional use permits are required of each new development within the Elk Park Center PUD. The location is on the north end of Elk Park Center between Freeport Avenue and Norwest Bank. In 1995, the City Council approved a conditional use permit for TCF to construct the financial institution. Since that time, TCF's conditional use permit expired because no construction occurred within two years after the approval date. The development plans now proposed are nearly identical to those approved in 1995. Hours of Operation TCF anticipates the hours of operation to be as follows: Monday — Friday: Drive-up & Lobby- 9 AM to 7 PM Saturday: Drive-up window- 8 AM to 3PM Lobby- 9 AM to 1 PM Site Plan Review IllVehicular Parking and Circulation TCF originally propose access off of Freeport Street, but has amended their site plan as requested by staff to have only one entrance and two exits off of the private drive to the east of the site. Norwest Bank is the owner of the private drive and any access onto it will require a cross access easement. TCF has also widened the drive isle around the drive-thru to accommodate a free traffic lane and enough width to accommodate garbage trucks and other large delivery vehicles. Based on the size of the Bank and the City's parking requirements, 22 parking stalls are required. The Bank has shown 30 parking stalls, two of them handicap accessible. City ordinance requires stacking room for 5 vehicles per drive through lane. Due to the number of drive thru lanes, staff believes there is adequate stacking room as long as a thru lane is clearly identified. The stacking lanes will need to be striped so that a free traffic lane is maintained around the drive-thru. 0
