Planning Commission February 26,2002 Page 2 III Overview The request consists of a 4,235 sq.ft.building. The facility will be a one-story building with a full basement. The entire building will be treated with an Exterior Insulating Finish System (EIFS) with a standing seam metal roof. The majority of the basement will be devoted to storage along with mechanical and electrical spaces and the vault. The first floor will house office space,tellers, conference room, file room, lounge and restrooms. The facility will have three drive-thru teller lanes with the possibility of adding three more in the future. There are also provisions on the site plan for future expansion. Building setbacks are not defined in the Elk River Crossing PUD but the building does meet the C3 zoning setbacks. Design Standards The proposed building materials for the facades will be EIFS with accents of rock-face concrete blocks at the base of the columns.The roofing material will be a prefinished metal standing seam system. The entrance is clearly defined and the there will be EIFS banding on the facades to break up the surface. The proposed design meets the design standards for Elk River Crossing. There are two walls signs being proposed which do not exceed the maximum size allowed. • The trash enclosure will be located within the building. Landscaping The submitted landscape plan meets the city's requirements, although the location of a monument sign has not been indicated. Parking and Circulation Based on the square footage of the building and the City's requirement of one parking stall for every 200 sq. ft., a total of 21 parking stalls would be required. The proposed layout exceeds this requirement with a total of 27 total stalls. A minimum 10'setback from the property line is also maintained. Two(2)handicap-parking stalls are required for the building. The submitted site plan shows one(1)stall,which does not meet the requirements. For parking lots with 26-50 stalls,there is a minimum requirement of two accessible stalls. There is also a concern as to why the proposed stall is located so far from the entrance. The proposed layout provides two accesses to the site off of Zane Street. One access is at the shared drive with the Conoco and Wash'N Fill to the north and the second is off of a shared drive on the south side of the property. Staff has a concern about the amount of traffic that might be generated from the drive-thru teller windows and how it may be • circulated towards the exit on the north side of the property.
