. Conditional Use Permit Application Narrative Elk Ridge Center Phase 4 7040 Lakeland Partners, LLC, proposes work in the existing Outlot A, Elk Ridge Center Second Addition. This existing development was intended to include a series of connected retail buildings. At this time, we propose to plat a lot for construction and lease to a small, specialty grocery store. The hours of operation are planned to be Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The store is expected to have a total of 8 to 12 employees. The proposed plan shows 84 parking stalls on the lease parcel, in compliance with the number needed for a 16,634 SF building. In addition to the parking stalls on the parcel to be platted, there are shared or joint parking opportunities with the neighboring businesses, both existing and future. There is a reciprocal easement and operating agreement that ensures the sharing of parking. A brick wall, 7' -4" high, will screen the loading dock area. This screen wall is intended to blend in with the rest of the building. The dumpster will be screened by this brick wall as well as by a metal gate. . The proposed building materials will follow the design standards created for the Elk Ridge Center Development and are consistent with the proposed North Woods theme. The building materials will include brick, stone, EIFS and rock faced concrete block for the wall surfaces. Standing seam metal is proposed for the roofmg at the store entrance. Two wall mounted signs, 6' -4" wide by 7' -6" high, are proposed for the store. The store's logo will also be located in the development's monument signs. 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. Site improvements such as rough grading and some utility work were completed for this project during the Elk Ridge Second Addition work. Fine grading and utility connections are proposed as a part ofthis project. Our request is for conditional use approval in perpituity. The site will require a zero setback to the north, where future buildings are intended to be constructed attached to this structure. This is the basis of our request. The proposed grocer is compatible with the other retail and service-oriented business already in the surrounding development. There are currently a vision care store, a child care service, and a bank within the Elk Ridge Center development. .
