Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 01-23 <br />July 16, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />OVERVIEW <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to amend the Elk Park Center PUD <br />Agreement to allow the construction of a 20,267 square foot addition and a pharmacy drive <br />through window at Cub Foods. The amendment to the PUD agreement is required because the <br />proposed addition exceeds the total square footage that was originally approved. When the PUD <br />was originally approved in 1994, the addition to Cub Foods was included as part of the total <br />square footage approved. The square footage allocated for the Cub Foods addition was used up <br />with the approval of the Office Max store. The property owner was aware of this when they <br />submitted the application for Office Max. <br /> <br />Site Plan <br /> <br />Layout <br /> <br />The proposed addition is located on the south end of Cub foods, adjacent to the shopping <br />center entrance from Jackson Street. The proposed drive through window is located on the <br />south side of the addition. There are also two loading docks proposed for the west side of the <br />addition, facing Jackson Street. <br /> <br />Building Elevations <br /> <br />The exterior of the addition will match the exterior of the existing building. An additional <br />entrance is proposed on the front of the addition. This new entrance will include a canopy. The <br />drive through window for the pharmacy will be located on the south wall, facing the entrance <br />from Jackson Street. A small metal canopy is proposed over the window. <br /> <br />Access <br /> <br />The existing loading area will provide access to the to the new loading docks. Access to the drive <br />through will be from the Jackson Street entrance. The drive will be one-way with the entrance <br />from the Jackson Street entrance and the exit will be at the front of the store. Directional signage <br />will be provided and there is sufficient stacking room for 5 cars. Because of the impact on <br />pedestrian traffic at the front of the store, consideration should be given to realigning the drive <br />so that it exits back out to the Jackson Street entrance opposite the parking area for the retail <br />shops to the south. <br /> <br />Grading, Drainage and Utilities <br /> <br />Minimal grading is proposed for the site. Grading, drainage and utility issues are addressed in the <br />City Engineer's memo. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\SCOTTkcu01-23cc.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
