Elk REQUEST FOR ACTION River TO ITEM NUMBER Mayor and City Council 10.1 AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Work Session June 17, 2013 Jeremy Barnhart,Deputy Director, CODD ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Starbucks Concept Review Cal Portner, City Administrator REVIEWED BY ACTION REQUESTED Provide informal, nonbinding feedback on the proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) Agreement amendment that would allow a drive through lane on the property line. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Starbucks is proposing to occupy a portion of the building at 19179 Freeport Street. LeAnn Chin's occupies the western portion of the building. To facilitate Starbucks, a drive through lane will need to be added. Due to limited space,the drive through lane is proposed to be located on the east side of the building,immediately adjacent to the Highway 169 right-of-way (ROW). The property is zoned PUD, and is governed by the Elk Park Center PUD Agreement. The Council has the discretion to establish setbacks and other standards as they deem appropriate for the area. Typically, a setback of 10 feet is required between paved areas and the adjacent property line. This is for a number of reasons,including visual separation between parking and streets, opportunities for landscaping, and snow storage. The developer proposes a setback of less than a foot on the east property line, the line shared by MnDOT. MnDOT will not permit water to drain onto the ROW, or any encroachment over the line. This can be accommodated through site design. The Council should provide feedback regarding their opinions of the proposed drive through. The issues of visual separation,landscaping, and snow storage are not applicable here as the wide Hwy 169 ROW provides necessary visual separation, and site design can accommodate snow storage. A representative of the applicant will be at the meeting. ATTACHMENTS ■ Concept plan P O W E R E D BY NaA f RE]
