City Council March 18, 2002 Page 2 office space, tellers, conference room, file room, lounge and restrooms. The facility will have three drive-thru teller lanes with the possibility of adding three more in the future. These future lanes, as well as the current proposed canopy columns, are within an existing utility easement and will need approval from the power company prior to issuance of a building permit. There are also provisions for a future building expansion. Building setbacks are not defined in the Elk River Crossing PUD but the building does meet the C3, Highway Business setback requirements. Design Standards The proposed building materials for the facades will be EIFS with accents of rock-face concrete blocks at the base of the columns. The roofing material will be a prefinished metal standing seam system. The entrance is clearly defined and the there will be EIFS banding on the facades to break up the surface. The proposed design meets the design standards for Elk River Crossing. There are two walls signs being proposed which do not exceed the maximum size allowed. The trash enclosure will be located within the building. Landscaping & Signage A landscape plan was not received from the applicant. They will be required to work with staff to provide a landscape plan that meets the city's requirements. A monument sign is being proposed near the northwest corner of the property. There is an easement in that area and the applicant will need to work with the power company in locating a sign within their easement. Parking and Circulation Based on the square footage of the building and the City's requirement of one parking stall for every 200 sq. ft., a total of 21 parking stalls would be required. The proposed layout exceeds this requirement with a total of 34 total stalls. A minimum 10' setback from the property line is also maintained. Two (2) handicap-parking stalls are required for the building. The submitted site plan shows one (1) stall, which does not meet the requirements. For parking lots with 26-50 stalls, there is a minimum requirement of two accessible stalls. There is also a concern as to why the proposed stall is located so far from the entrance. The proposed layout provides two driveways to the site off of Zane Street. One access is at the shared drive with the Conoco/Wash 'N Fill to the north and the second is off of a shared drive on the south side of the property.
