. . . Case File: CU 06-27 Page 4 The proposed request is a CUP for the Zero Lot Line Development and the use within this building is permitted. The PUD agreement states that all site plan requests need to be reviewed. This would be the review of the architecture, consistency of the building placement with the already approved development, vehicular circulation, utilities and any other items related to the site. In this instance, the Site Plan approval does not require review of the use within the building, as it is a Permitted Use. Analysis The proposed 16,224 sqft building will be the first structure in a larger multi-tenant structure. The approved development plan did include a 47,562 sqft multi-tenant structure in the location where this proposal is being proposed. With the current proposal, this will leave 31,338 square feet of space available for future tenants. (The approved 5,720 square foot Pearl Vision building was on an original approved PUD site allowingfor a 4,500 square foot building. Stciff did contact the developer to indicate that the extra 1,220 square feet added to this building would need to be removed for one or more if the remaining buildings.) Approved with the original master plan were a service lane around the building and loading areas on the west side. The proposed request is utilizing this circulation pattern for its truck loading area. An 11'-4" high masonry screen wall will be provided to screen the loading dock area. The upper portion of the tractor and a short length of the trailer would extend in front of the wall (see drawing 3 on the elevations). This screen wall is intended to blend in with the rest of the building. The dumpster will be screened by this masonry wall as well as by a metal gate. The proposed plan shows 78 parking stalls on the lease parcel. Although the requirements are for 82 stalls, the development was approved to rely on shared parking between parcels. There is a reciprocal easement and operating agreement that ensures the sharing of parking. Shopping carts will be stored in a cart corral that is fully integrated to the building. The cart corral is next to the store's entrance and is enclosed by a brick and glass wall that is intended to blend in with the rest of the building. The store is expected to have a total of 8 to 12 employees. The hours of operation are planned to be: Monday - Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Buildin& Desi&n (The text that is italicized comes from the Development Design Standards) The North Woods Theme if Elk Ridge Center has been influenced b related architectural traditions including Crciftsman, Arts & Crcifts and the architecture in our State Parks.
