Site Plan Par'king and Access Access to the site will be via two 24 foot wide driveways from the frontage road. One access will be near the west property line the other will be near the east property ]~ne. Since the future plans have an access on the adjacent lot to the east, consideration should be given to moving the east access further to the east and connecting to the existing parking area with a temporary driveway. Thereby having the two access points in their permanent locations. The apphcant is proposing to access the proposed storage building along the west side of the site. Because of the proximity of the existing store to the property ]~ne and the slope going from the building to the property line, access to the rear of the lot in this area will be _~i~cult and will require paving up to the property line. Since the apphcant in the future development plans is showing an access to the rear of the site on the adjacent lot to the east, consideration should be given to providing access to the proposed building in the location where the permanent access will be, thereby avoiding the need for a variance. Another option would be to allow the area on the west side of the existing buildiu g to be used to access the proposed building temporarily until the future addition is completed. The par]ring requirements for this site are eight spaces for the store.and three spaces for the storage building. Five parking spaces are shown in front of the store with one of them a handicapped space. This does not meet the par]c~ng requirements set forth in the zoning code but there is room on the site to provide additional ~ ark~ n g ff needed. The applicant is proposing temporary blacktop curb around the front parking area and no curbing around the blacktop area in the rear of the existing building. Staff beheves that the temporary curbing would be appropriate along the east side of the paved area where the pavement will be expanded as part of the future addition. Blacktop curb would also be acceptable along the pavement from the west side of the store down to the proposed'storage building ff this area is used as temporary access to the proposed storage building. However, on the remainder of the site that will not be changed as part of the future expansion to the east, concrete curb and gutter would be appropriate. Phasing Phasing the ~mprovements is an option the Commission may wish to consider. Concrete curb and gutter could be used in the front of the existing store and blacktop curbing could be used on the east side of the existing parking area and from the front building line the west side of the pavement leading back to the
