Memo to Mayor & City Council/CU 01-10 <br />March 19, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The building will be located on Lot 2, Block 1, Elk River Retail Center 2"d <br />Addition which is 49,222 square feet (1.13 acres) in size. The plan includes <br />some additional parking spaces and landscaping, as well a freestanding <br />monument sign along Highway 169. The building is rectangular shaped with <br />the narrow ends facing Highway 169 and Dodge Street. The front of the <br />building faces Perkins Restaurant. The additional parking is being provided <br />on the south side of the site, adjacent to Perkins. <br /> <br />Building <br /> <br />The proposed building will be 11,485 square feet in size; Precision Tune will <br />be 3,025 square feet and the remaining 8,460 square feet will be lease space. <br />The exterior of the building will be a mix of E.F.I.S and rock face block. <br />Colors will be a mix of earth tones, which will be compatible with the <br />adjacent structures. Metal canopies will be located over the windows and <br />entrances of the building. The exterior of the building includes some nice <br />cornice details and formal entrances. <br /> <br />The activity around the building will be focused away from the residential <br />property on Dodge Street. To this end, the Precision Tune will be located on <br />the end of the building closest to Highway 169 and the building will act as <br />buffer between the auto care portion of the building and Dodge Street. No <br />windows or entrances are proposed on the side facing Dodge Street. <br /> <br />There is no trash enclosure proposed. All trash will be stored inside the <br />building. No outside storage of auto parts is allowed. <br /> <br />Parking <br /> <br />47 parking stalls are shown on site plan. The Precision Tune requires 10 <br />spaces with the remaining 37 spaces dedicated to the 8,460 square feet of <br />lease space. This would work with a specific mix of retail and auto related <br />uses (5200 sf. retail space and 6285 sf. of auto related/professional office). If <br />additional spaces are required to accommodate more retail space, a shared <br />parking agreement can be recorded between this developer and Country Inn <br />Suite. <br /> <br />The parking lot layout is acceptable. There are 11 spaces existing along <br />Highway 169 that will be counted towards the parking requirement. An <br />additional 36 new spaces will be constructed as part of this project, 26 of <br />them in front of the building adjacent to the existing driveway for Perkins. <br />Curb and gutter are included around the landscape islands, perimeter of the <br /> <br />S:XPLANNING\SCOTT\CU0110CC.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
