Analysis Site Plan The submitted site plan only indicated where the fenced in area was proposed. It is unclear where the proposed access points will be as the site is paved from property line to property line. Staff is unclear where any of the property lines or easements are actually located. In order to properly review anysetback requirements for structures, signs, and parking, staff recommends that a survey be completed to show property lines, easements and location of underground tanl~s on the property. Staff also recommends that an engineered site plan be completed showing the site improvements which should include concrete curb and gutters. Tran.r~ortatian The access points to the site are not clearly defined and occur virtually anywhere on both Jackson Avenue and Railroad Drive. Jackson Avenue is a major collector street which carries a great deal of traffic in the area. Additionally, the proximityto the rail road crossing, and the intersection with railroad drive congest traffic movements in the area. To limit the amount of conflict points on Jackson Avenue, staff recommends that access to the site be restricted to Railroad Drive. The access should be located as far to the east of the Jackson Avenue and Railroad Drive intersection as S;IPLANNING MAINICase FileslCUP1CU 10-04 Fasx CashICU 10-04 PG~doc
