CU 94-02 <br /> <br />ISSUE <br /> <br />Consider a conditional use permit request by EOS Architecture to expand the <br />existing library. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Location Map, Zoning Map, Site Plan <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />EOS Architecture is requesting a conditional use permit for a 4,450 square <br />foot addition to the existing library. The addition will consist of an expanded <br />reading area, circulation desk, and staff work area. Governmental buildings <br />are a conditional use in the R1 C zoning district. The following list highlights <br />the key issues involved in this request. <br /> <br />LANDSCAPING <br /> <br />Elk River City Code requires one tree to be planted for every 40 linear feet of <br />the lot. Credit is also given for existing trees on the site. Existing trees <br />greater than 8 inches in diameter receive credit for two trees. The library <br />site requires 22 overstory trees. However, the site does receive credit for 14 <br />existing trees. Therefore, the applicant will be required to add 8 additional <br />overstory trees. With the construction of the addition, two trees (including <br />one large elm) will need to be removed. A couple of other smaller trees <br />located within the addition area will be re-Iocated on the lot. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />P.O.
