Site Plan <br /> <br />Parking and Access <br /> <br />Access to the site will be via two 24 foot wide driveways from the frontage road. <br />One access will be near the west property line the other will be near the east <br />property line. Since the future plans have an access on the adjacent lot to the <br />east, consideration should be ~ven to moving the east access further to the east <br />and connecting to the existing parking area with a temporary driveway. Thereby <br />having the two access points in their permanent locations... <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing to access the proposed storage building along the <br />west side of the site. Because of the proximity of the existing store to the <br />property line and the slope going from the building to the property line, access to <br />the rear of the lot in this area will be di~cult and will require paving up to the <br />property line. Since the applicant in the future development plans is showing an <br />access to the rear of the site on the adjacent lot to the east, consideration should <br />be given to providing access to the proposed building in the location where the <br />permanent access will be, thereby avoiding the need for a variance. Another <br />option would be to allow the area on the west side of the existing building to be <br />used to access the proposed building temporarily until the future addition is <br />completed. <br /> <br />The par],-~ng req~firements for this site are eight spaces for the store and three <br />spaces for the storage building. Five par]~ing spaces are shown in front of the <br />store with one of them a hamdicapped space. ~ZLiS does not meet the par]~ing <br />requirements set forth in the zoning code but there is room on the site to provide <br />additional ~ ark5 n g if needed. <br /> <br />The apphcant is proposing temporary blacktop curb around the front par~in g <br />area and no curbing around the blacktop area in the rear of the existing <br />building. Staff believes that the temporary curbing would be appropriate along <br />the east side of the paved area where the pavement will be expanded as part of <br />the future addition. Blacktop curb would also be acceptable along the pavement <br />f~om the west side of the store down to the proposedStorage building if this area <br />is used as temporary access to the proposed storage building. However, on the <br />remainder of the site that will not be changed as part of the future expansion to <br />the east, concrete curb and gutter would be appropriate. <br /> <br />Phasinf <br /> <br />Phasing the improvements is an option the Commission may wish to consider. <br />Concrete curb and gutter could be used in the front of the existing store and <br />blacktop curbing could be used on the east side of the existing park~.g area and <br />from the front building line the west side of the pavement leading back to the <br /> <br /> <br />
