Memo to Planning Commission/CU 00-24 <br /> July 25,2000 <br /> Page 3 <br /> 1.8 percent, with the combined parking and building hard surface coverage <br /> • totaling 9.8 percent. <br /> The plan indicates 335 parking spaces. The code requires the following: <br /> Worship hall: 182 spaces <br /> Classrooms/nursery: 26 spaces <br /> Offices: 5 spaces <br /> TOTAL 213 spaces <br /> The plan indicates adequate parking. <br /> Building Elevations and Materials <br /> The building will be constructed of differing materials. That portion of the building <br /> housing the classrooms, office and nursery will be frame construction with vinyl <br /> siding and asphalt shingles. The multi-purpose building will be constructed of <br /> pre-cast concrete panels with a wide rake finish. A wide stripe painted white will <br /> be formed toward the top of the panels. <br /> Access and Parking <br /> The City Engineer reviewed the access proposed for Phase 1 which is one <br /> III driveway onto 217th Avenue. In Phase 2, a second access onto County Road 1 <br /> is proposed. Any access onto County Road 1 will require a Sherburne County <br /> access permit. The City Engineer recommends that the driveway onto 217th <br /> Avenue be moved farther to the east in order to provide adequate stacking space <br /> on 217th Avenue for cars leaving the church and exiting onto County Road 1. <br /> The engineer also indicated that the access onto County Road 1 will more than <br /> likely necessitate a turn lane and a bypass lane, however, no written comments <br /> from the County have been received. In order to alleviate internal traffic conflicts, <br /> it may be appropriate for the access onto County Road 1 to be installed as part of <br /> Phase 1, instead of waiting for construction of Phase 2. <br /> The site plan also indicates overflow stalls of approximately 156 spaces. The <br /> ordinance requires parking to occur on approved hard surface which would <br /> require removal of topsoil and vegetation in the installation of Class 5 or some <br /> other suitable material to create these overflow parking areas. <br /> Grading Plan <br /> The City Engineer has reviewed the preliminary grading plan submitted by the <br /> applicant and the following summarizes staff concerns: <br /> • <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PLREPRTS\C000-24.DOC <br />
