The proposed facility would be staffed with office hours from approximately 9:00 am to 6:00 pm during the week with the possibility of staffed office hours on Saturday and Sunday as well. In addition to the Office hours, existing customers would have access to the facility from 6 Am to 10 PM, consistent with the current rules of traditional storage facilities. Employees Typical Class A facilities hire 3-4 employees to staff the office with an additional offsite manager. A maintenance person would also be needed for routine issues around the facility. Additionally, facilities would hire local service companies for seasonal requirements, such as lawn care, and snow removal. Signage The primary form of signage for this type of facility would be to put the name of the company on the side of the building, facing towards the main supply road. Additional, smaller signage may be added in combination with existing signs, such as the large Menards sign and subsequent smaller signage underneath. Access The proposed site is bordered by 197th AVE on the northern edge, Evan St on the Southern edge, and 196th Lane on the southern edge. This class A storage facility is proposing access off of 196th AVE but is open to other access points. Using 196th AVE for access aligns with the City's vision for Elk River to be a safe place by avoiding entrance into a busy Evans ave. This access will be both the entrance and exit. Landscaping Requirements A landscaping plan will be provided during the preliminary plat and site plan reviews that complies with the current Elk River requirements of the zoning and subdivision ordinances. Increased vegetation along the residential boundary to the east will be provided if the natural vegetation contained in the large tree grove does not provide enough buffer to the Class A storage site. Preserving the large trees and ensuring proper vegetation will help maintain the adjacent residential neighborhood's identity. Parking and Loading requirements The plan will include required loading spaces, provide required parking spaces, adequate area for uhaul style trucks to maneuver and space for snow storage Tree Preservation This class A facility would like to maintain the naturally aged trees as screening to the residential property east and north of the property and would implement a tree inventory and tree preservation plan that incorporates the aesthetically pleasing beauty into the overall plan for the site..
