Memo to the Planning Commission/CU 00-29 August 22,2000 Page 2 order to store vehicles indoors. Construction or expansion of governmental • buildings and facilities in the Central Business District requires a conditional use permit. Analysis Lots The Public Works facility is presently on two lots. The existing building and most of the paved area is on the .76-acre lot with street frontage. The proposed location of the new storage building is partially on the front lot and partially on the rear lot without street frontage. City Ordinance requires that the two lots be combined. Parking Over half of the site is presently paved with bituminous and there is enough space to accommodate the required 10 parking stalls. City Ordinance requires that the parking stalls, including a 13 ft wide handicap stall, be striped. Parking Setbacks • City Ordinance requires parking to be setback 10 feet from the property lines. Presently, parking extends into the setback area along the front and side property lines. In some locations, the pavement is continuous with the adjoining properties. The Elk River Fire Department utilizes the southerly drive to access the back of their facility. Where cross access is not needed, excess pavement should be removed and the ten-foot setbacks should be restored. Curb and Gutter Presently, the parking lot has no curb or gutter. City Ordinance requires curb and gutter around the perimeter of the parking lot, however a provision in the City Ordinance allows lesser curb and gutter (up to the building face) for industrial uses. The Public Works facility is an office/industrial use in the C1 zoning district. Building Materials The building as proposed is a typical pole building. City Ordinance requires that 100% of the exterior building finish shall be of an approved building finish, i.e., wood, stucco, brick, ...other approved architectural metal siding. • \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\pcmmo\cu00-29.doc
