Memo to Planning Commission Page 4 <br />LUA 96-1, ZC 96-11, P 96-1 and CU 96-1 <br /> <br />requirement should be satisfied with the payment of cash at the commercial <br />rate. <br /> <br />Pedestrian Circulation <br /> <br />The construction of Evans Street north to 197th will include the continuation <br />of a 6' wide concrete sidewalk. Once the sidewalk reaches 197th, the sidewalk <br />is planned to extend to Highway 169 along the south side of 197th Avenue. <br /> <br />It is also recommended that a sidewalk extend east along either the north or <br />south side of 196th to the first intersection in Hillside Estates residential <br />development. This sidewalk will provide safe pedestrian access from the <br />local streets in Hillside Estates to Evans Street. <br /> <br />Development Plan <br /> <br />The development plans for the proposed planned unit development are <br />considered as the "master plans" when reviewing specific proposals for each <br />of the parcels. In other words, the development plans will identify building <br />size, parking areas, landscaped (buffer) areas, access points, signage, and <br />architectural controls. These general components coupled together will be <br />the basis for which future site plans are reviewed. <br /> <br />Specific Site Plans <br /> <br />As mentioned above, when a specific development is identified for a parcel <br />within the planned unit development, a conditional use permit for site plan <br />review will have to be submitted. This conditional use permit will be <br />submitted to the Planning Commission and City Council for consideration. <br />Once again, the specific plans will be compared to the approved development <br />for consistency. It is anticipated that Menards will have their specific plans <br />submitted by the end of this month for the March 26th Planning Commission <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Parking <br /> <br />The development plans illustrate some general footprints of future buildings <br />along with associated parking areas. Based on the potential of these <br />buildings being used for retail, required parking was determined by using the <br />parking ratio for retail use (one space per 200 square feet). When applying <br />this general retail formula, each of the three (other than Menards) parcels <br />will need to provide some additional parking. Given the size of the parcels it <br />appears as though the additional parking can be satisfied. <br /> <br />s:\planning\pc\hilsid2.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
