Planning Commission/CU 02-24 July 23,2002 Page 2 • Overview The request consists of a one-story building that is approximately 52' x 75' (3,900 sq. ft.) The building will be divided into two tenants. The building will be treated with rock face concrete masonry units (CMU), Exterior Insulating Finish System (EIFS) and Glazing. Building setbacks are not defined in the Elk River Crossing PUD but the building does meet the C3 zoning setbacks. Design Standards The bottom two-thirds of the facades will consist of a rock face CMU and glazing with the upper one-third treated with EIFS and CMU pilasters. The entrance is clearly defined with metal canopies and the there will be EIFS work at the cornice line. The proposed design meets the design standards for Elk River Crossing. The allowable signage, as defined by the Elk River Crossing PUD,is two wall signs per principle building,but in the past we have permitted two wall signs per tenant. Landscaping The landscape plan that was submitted does not meet City's minimum standards. They will be required to have a total of 12 trees on the property; six of which shall be overstory trees, three of which shall be evergreen trees and three of which shall be ornamental. The • proposed plan provides eight trees. A dumpster enclosure is shown on the site plan,but there is no vehicle access shown to it. No elevations were provided showing materials and dimensions. The Elk River Crossing PUD states; "dumpsters should be within an enclosure constructed of the same materials and colors as those used in the building." There was no monument sign indicated and if one is desired,it shall be located at least 10 feet from all property lines. Parking and Circulation Based on the square footage of the building and the City's requirement of one parking stall for every 40 sq. ft. of customer floor area,which is approximately 1,000 square feet, a total of 25 parking stalls would be required. The proposed layout exceeds this requirement with a total of 42 total stalls. The minimum 10' setback from the property line is also maintained. For parking lots with 26-50 stalls, there is a minimum requirement of two accessible stalls. The submitted site plan indicates two handicap-parking stalls. The proposed layout provides a shared access to the site off of Zane Street on the south property line with internal connections to the property to the north. Staff would suggest that another landscape island be provided in the six parking stalls along the east property line • that straddles the north property line. This would break up the long line of parking on both S:\PLANNING\Case Files\CU 02-24 Subway\CU02-24_PC.DOC
