THE CAMPUS SETTING OF THE ICE COMPLEX AND HIGH SCHOOL IS A UNIQUE SITUATION WHEREBY SHARED PARKING AND PROPERTY LINES FOR OWNERSHIP PURPOSES EXIST. 4. THE ENCROACHMENT OF THE PARKING AREA INTO THE SETBACK WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES NOR CREATE A PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN. COMMISSIONER SULLIVAN-SLOCUM SECONDED THE MOTION. THE .MOTION CARRIED 5-0. ~" 5.1. 'Phoenix Enterprises, LLC Request for Conditional >lise Permit; Public Nearing Case No.95-O1 Staff report by Troy Langer. The applicant is requesting is for a zero .lot line development to construct an approximate 24,000 square foot commercial center at the southeast corner of Highway 169 and 193rd Avenue NW. Approval of the conditional use permit would allow traffic to access the proposed commercial center, the SuperAmerica site and a future office development without leaving one site to enter another. Zero lot development is allowed in C-3 as a conditional use. Troy explained the main issues associated with the request as follows: -Make sure the parking area has a mutual benefit for each of the properties. -Property cross-access and cross-parking agreements are prepared and executed between commercial and Super America as well as the commercial and office sites. -The maintenance and future repair of areas located on property lines is maintained and a mutual agreement between property owners exist to maintain those areas. Troy also highlighted issues associated with the site plan review of the development including landscaping, parking area, common drive area and signage. Troy explained that staff has recommended the drive area north of the proposed building be moved closer to the building to create more space between the drive leaving the SuperAmerica site. Staff is also recommending that a letter be obtained from UPA addressing the distance from the dripline of the overhead power lines, as well as a letter from Super America allowing access to their site. Also, a variance may be necessary for placement of a sign. Staff recommends a monumen#-style sign. Troy added that staff requests the Planning Commission consider making a recommendation to the City Council for an ordinance amendment to allow zero lot developments as permitted uses with certain standards. Terry Maurer, City Engineer, stated that his major concern with the plat is that they receive drainage calculations to ensure that the site will not be overwhelmed by storm water runoff. He added that he also had concern regarding the two access points only being 20 feet apart and suggested in his memo that they be combined into one.
