MEMORANDUM
T O: Oak Park Heights Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Bronken
DATE: April 23, 1981
RE: Fred's Tire Company CUP
FILE NO: 798.02 - 81.07
BACKGROUND
The applicant has submitted site and building plans for a lot that has in the past
been the A &W site located on the north side of Highway 212 (see Site Location
Map, attached). The proposed use is an auto repair and alignment operation and
the retailing of auto parts. The plans include an addition to and remodelling of
the existing structure.
The site is zoned B -2, General Business District, in which an auto repair operation
is a conditional use. The land adjacent to the site on the north, east and south is
also zoned B -2. The site is bordered on the west by the Oak Park Heights City
boundary. Surrounding land uses are as follows:
North - Vacant
East - Auto Fuel and Service Station
South - Fast Food Operations Abutting Highway 212
West - Warehouse Food Market
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
In accordance with the procedures for granting a conditional use permit as set out in
the Zoning Ordinance, the Council will need to make a determination as to the
general acceptability of the proposed use based on (but not limited to):
• The relationship to the Comprehensive Plan.
• The geographic area involved.
• The character of the surrounding area.
• The demonstrated need for such a use.

In the event that the proposal is considered a compatible and desirable use, some
concerns regarding the site plan will need to be resolved.
The on -site circulation appears to work well . There is sufficient space to allow ease
of parking, backing and maneuvering. However, a requirement of the Zoning
Ordinance states that only one driveway is allowed per 125 feet of lot frontage. The
subject site has two existing driveways, but only 200 feet of lot frontage. In order to
improve the site one of the driveways would need to be eliminated. The applicant
could either rework the on -site circulation to utilize one driveway or develop a lease
agreement to share a driveway with the adjacent fuel station to the east.
The existing company that has been designated on the site plan "to remain" encroaches
on the front yard setback (40 feet) and will need to be shortened or removed.
The site plan would need to show the placement of curbing around the perimeter of all
driving areas on the site and a planting strip at least 5 feet wide along the lot boundaries.
The amount of existing bituminous surface on the site appears to be in excess of what
the proposed use requires, particularly along the north side of the lot. If curbing is
installed, it is recommended that the amount of hard surfaced area be reduced.
The amount of off - street parking provided on the site is sufficient. Twelve spaces are
required by ordinance standards and eighteen spaces have been provided.
One of the conditions required of an auto repair operation is that the architectural
appearance of the structure be a positive element in the area. Therefore, the applicant
would need to supply information as to the materials and colors to be used for the facade
of the building.
Provisions to control and reduce noise are also required of an auto repair operation.
Considering the location and surrounding area, special sound provisions do not appear
necessary at this time. However, the City should reserve the prerogative to require
a sound barrier device(s) at any time in the future if deemed necessary.
The City Engineer should ascertain that no drainage problems exist or would develop
as a result of the proposed development.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council review the proposed use based on the considera-
tions mentioned in the above report to determine its acceptability.
If acceptable, the following items will require attention:
• Elimination of one driveway with the possibility of sharing driveway with
neighboring facility.
• Removal or shortening of existing canopy.
• Installation of perimeter curbing and planted area.
• Submission of building facade details (materials and colors).
• Eventual provision of noise control.
• Approval of site drainage by City Engineer.
