<br />Elk River Development <br />August 23, 1994 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The applicants are not requesting site plan approval for the first phase at <br />this time. An application will be submitted at a later date when a specific <br />tenant has been identified. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />. Traffic <br /> <br />The development presented to the City in 1990 raised considerable <br />amount of discussion regarding Dodge Avenue and Elk Hills Drive. At <br />that time, staffs recommendation was to have Dodge Street improved, <br />along with Elk Hills Drive, to a condition that can adequately handle <br />the additional traffic generated by the commercial development. That <br />same situation applies' today with the commercial development <br />proposed for Outlot A, Deerfield Third Addition. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In the attached memo from Terry Maurer, the conditions of Dodge <br />Street and Elk Hills Drive are discussed. With this development <br />proposal, it is anticipated that the issue of upgrading Elk Hills Drive <br />and Dodge Avenue will need to take place to accommodate the <br />projected vehicle trips for this area. Furthermore, it may be <br />appropriate that the City Council consider an improvement project <br />including Dodge Avenue, both north and south of Elk Hills Drive, and <br />Elk Hills Drive between US Highway 169 to accommodate future <br />residential and commercial growth projections and additional traffic. <br /> <br />. Site Plan <br /> <br />The site plan has been designed to orient the development towards <br />Highway 169 and away from the residential area to the east. Four (4) <br />free standing buildings with a total of 29,687 square feet is proposed, <br />which is approximately 5,300 square feet less than the commercial <br />project proposed in 1990. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Uses l Hours of Operation <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Three (3) land uses are proposed: general/service retail, auto repair, and <br />a sit-down restaurant. The auto repair and restaurant use are not <br />consistent with the previous approval in 1990, however, the retail <br />element is consistent. Given the proximity of this commercial area to <br />the residential to the east, uses and business hours that are compatible <br />with the residential area will need to be considered. <br /> <br />erdeveLdoc <br />
