The traffic analysis that was conducted for Phase 1 did not include the uses proposed in Phase 2. The parking analysis has been updated to include the entire development and is found as Exhibit 9. Of particular issue is the intersection of Norell Avenue and 60 Street and how Phase 2 will further impact the traffic movements at that location.. The City Engineer should comment on the potential traffic issues associated with this development. Off - Street Parking. According to Section 401.15.F of the Zoning Ordinance, shopping centers must provide six parking spaces per each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. As p art of the approvals for Phase 1.concept plan, the Planning Commission and City Council agreed to vary from that requirement and determine an appropriate ratio for the development At a minimum, the retail standard of five spaces per 1,000 square feet should be maintained and the restaurant/bank requirements would not be varied from. As shown below, a total of 1,178 spaces for the entire development are therefore required based upon the five spaces per 1 ,000 and 1,337 spaces based upon the six spaces per 1,000. Phase 1 of the development provides 1,008 parking stalls and Phase 2 an additional 300 parking stalls, for a total of 1,308. There will be cross easements for parking throughout the development. The Planning Commission and City Council, in approving the concept plan for Phase 1, discussed the retail parking need versus the City requirements based upon the ordinance. The consensus was that the general plan approvals should allow for a lesser number of stalls than required under the shopping center (1 per 166.6) parking requirement. Staff agrees that the minimum should be based upon the retail south. Adequately marked crosswalks on 58 Street at Norell Avenue and Krueger Lane would need to be considered with any potential crossings. -- Grading and Drainage. A concept grading and drainage plan has been submitted for this development. The applicants do. not anticipate the need_ to construct a stormwater pond on this site at this time. The applicant will be required to apply for Browns Creek Water District approval for the site. The watershed may require contributions for downstream storrnwater improvements or allow for drainage to and possible expansion of the regional pond adjacent to, the Menard's. The Browns Creek Watershed District will be meeting on July.14, 2003 to discuss the drainage issues for this site and the potential for expansion of the regional pond adjacent to Menards. The general plan of development and development agreement will need to address appropriate stormwater improvements /projects that result from the development of this property. Utilities. A concept utility plan has been submitted for this development. The City Engineer and Public Works Director have indicated that the current utilities can g adequately serve the proposed development.. Utility plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Loading Areas. The Phase 2 plans do not indicate locations of loading areas for the .three restaurants. The general plan review will need to address.Ioading areas .and traffic /parking impacts While trubks are unloaded. : M 'potential Architectural Appearance. As the development. proposal moves forward, the . architectural ..appearance of- , the structure will., t.be ..subject. to detailed..:- review.. ,.in comparison with the City Design Guidelines. .Lighting, Signage, and Landscaping. Detailed plans related to lighting, signage, and landscaping have not been submitted. Such plans will need to be submitted and considered as part of the general plan review. Development Agreement. The applicant will be required to enter into a development agreement with the City pending *approval of a concept and general plan. The City Attorney will require submittal of all cross easements and other easements necessary for this development. Conditional Use Permit Criteria. In the B -2 District, drive -in food restaurants are a listed conditional use. Section 40.30.E.1 lists the criteria for reviewing the fast food establishment. The criteria is as follows: a. The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site shall not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a reasonable distance of the lot. 5 1.

The City Council approved the Phase 1 Concept Plan on a'une 4, 2003. This narrative describes the Phase 2 site development and jraxious aspects of the application request • Locatio • . ' The site is resentl. vacant and located at the southeast comer of 60 Street North and Th presently Krueger � e er Lane. The overall parcel is bounded on the south side by 5 h Street North. State High a 3 6 is directly to the north of the site. dough the center of the overall property Highway �' is a 200+ foot overhead electric transmission easement and a city water tower is south of Along the north property bound the subject property. g p P � �, near 60 Street is an existing " sanitary sewer lift station. Also along . ,60 th Street are existing public sanitary sewer, city any � ,. at�ain and storm sewer lines. Menards is located west of the site and Walnaart is located to the east of the property. Site Development As shown on the concept Site 'Play the proposed.. commercial site will include a variety f retail-Hers incluclin.g two restaurrants, a fast food pad, and a bank site totgin.g 21,200+ square feet ofretail space. The site plan sho'irs the locations of the'pr'Qposed, bilildiugs parldng areas and vebdcle access dnyes. The site plan also identies the number of P ro d parking stalls to service the project Primary access to the site will be. from a P ose P g driveway accesses proposed off of 6O Street and Kru.eger Lane. Two other access p ro P I proposed osed with the Phase 1 development will provide internal circulation pathways s to Norell. Avenue and Krueger Lane near the proposed Kohl's bpi1d ng. Pxora drs ' ons with the City C' and MDDOT , it is understood that the 60 Street Frontage Road may be rerouted through this site in - conjunction with the future Highway 36 and Noxell Avenue interchange project. At this time the schedule for the roadway.rerouting is unknown. In the case of the frontage road being rerouted, the 7,200 SP restaurant building uildin and some parking arks. would be removed to accommodate the roadway. However, the remaining would. three buildings would. not be impacted by the new frontage road and the remaining p arki g areas would be adequate to s erve the building uses. The overall property is ctirrentl platted as one outiot. Although a pre�nary plat has �'b' P P� y P . t yet been completed for the site, it is anticipated that the plat for the Phase..2 project no y P may elude platted lots for each of the proposed site users.

The proposed development includes the fallowing uses: at the south end, an 86,000 square foot Kohl's with a future expansion area of1 9,200 square feet and four other retail uses totaling 65,323 square feet; and at the north end, two sit -down restaurants totaling 1 2,700 square feet, a fast -food restaurant of 2,500 Page.4 -North Frontage Road Figure 3 Direction of Approach Page 6 These three methodologies vary the paths by which traffic exits the site: Shortest Path — This is the path that traffic would be expected to choose if no traffic congestion would interfere with travel (Figure 4). Three methodologies of traffic assignment were employed to better accommodate anticipated capacity shortages at the intersection of Norell Avenue and 60 Street North. The traffic operations of this intersection are the most significant concern of this study. The close spacing between T.H. 36 and 60 Street North on Norell Avenue limit storage for queuing vehicles and make lane weaving difficult. The methodologies of assignment change the use of the Norell Avenue ! 60 Street North intersection to exit . the site for travel to the intersection of T.N. 36 and Norell Avenue.

Further, the drivers must turn )nto an area that has limited storage space for vehicle_ queuing. The vehicle stora a area between 60 Street and T.H. 36 will not be adequate during peak traffic conditions. • The problems at 60th and Norell can be lessened by encouraging site traffic destined for T.H. 36 to use Norell Avenue instead of 60 Street. This will reduce the number of vehicles stopping at the ,stop sign and reduce the total delay. To some extent, the expected trafflc congestion may encourage drivers to find an alternative.direction. The path of southbound on Krueger, eastbound on 58 Street north and northbound on Norell Avenue is one alternative. A second alternative is to exit the site directly to Norell Avenue from the southeast area of the site. it is suggested that signing and any other practical methods be used to ,encourage.this movem e The traffic volumes on T.H. 36 are expected to grow significantly if a river crossing is constructed. The growth in traffic volumes will necessitate the construction of a grade intersection, at Norell Avenue to accommodate the ' roected traffic volumes. When this occurs, the traffic bottleneck on Norell p � Avenue will be eliminated. e The referred solution is to move the 60 Street frontage road further south. p This: *ill provide more space between T.H. 36 and th relocated frontage road for weaving and vehicle .storage It will take some time for the site to reach full occupancy and full demand. Once it is separated, it will be able to accommodate the area traffic volumes but may require 4 -way stop sign control and possibly a traffic signal. Further study is necessary to fully estimate the impacts to determine the ideal frontage road configuration and the impacts of moving the frontage road. Page 12 RESOLUTION NO.
