Oak Park Heights - Oak Park Station: Final Plat, Planned Unit
Development, Vacation of Easements and Planned Unit
Development/Conditional Use Permit Approval
Please find attached a resolution for approval of a final plat, planned unit development,
vacation of easements and planned unit development/conditional use permits for the
Oak Park Station development on property located south of 58 Street between
Highway 5 and Memorial Avenue North. As you are aware, the Planning Commission
recommended the project with a public street at their meeting of November 8, 2001.
Additionally, the City Council approved the preliminary plat at their November 27, 2001
meeting.
Three issues have been raised related to the site plan for the S & C Bank with the
change from a private to public street for this development. The first is the request for
two access drives onto the public street. As you are aware, the Zoning Ordinance
requires that: "each property shall be allowed one (1) curb cut access for each one
hundred twenty -five (125) feet of street frontage." The actual proposed frontage is
approximately 217 feet on the proposed street, 205 feet on 58 Street and 214 feet on
Highway 5,
Additionally, the PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance indicates that for non-residential
projects "there shall be no minimum frontage on a public street required for a tract of
land for which a PUD project is proposed." While the PUD provides a significant degree
of flexibility in design of a project as it relates to standard Zoning Ordinance
requirements, the City must determine whether a project is practical and safe and will
best serve the area it is proposed, Staff has worked with the applicant in design of the
subdivision, street location, and the specific bank site plan and is comfortable with the
current design.
The second issue is the access setback from 58 Street for the bank. The bank site
plan indicates that the northerly access point is 45 feet from the property line and 75
feet from the drive lane of 58 Street. The Zoning Ordinance requires that "no curb cut
access shall be located less than sixty (60) feet from the intersection of two (2) or more
street rights -of -way." Further, the City Engineer has specified a preferred separation of
150 feet from the drive lane to access points. This is an issue that has been reviewed
by the City Engineer and although he has expressed concerns, has indicated that it
would be acceptable in this location. The access issue can be addressed through the
PUD approvals.
The third issue is the location of the drive- through tellers and proximity to the proposed
street. The Zoning Ordinance lists conditions for approval of drive- throughs at banks.
One of the conditions reads as follows: "not less than one hundred eighty (180) feet of
segregated automobile stacking lane(s) must be provided for the service window." The
applicant has provided a revised site plan that adds an additional 11 feet of stacking
distance between the drive - through and proposed street. With that change, there would
be adequate space for approximately 18 cars at one time in the drive - through lanes.
The applicant has also indicated that the southerly drive - through would be constructed
with a pneumatic tube to allow conversion of the ATM to an additional drive - through
lane if found to be necessary in the future. Again, this issue can be addressed through
the PUD approvals.
Please find the following site plans for your review of this matter:
Exhibit A: Oak Park Station — Preliminary plat
Exhibit B: Oak Park Station — Final Plat
Exhibit C: Revised Site Plan S & C Bank

Subject: S &C Bank Drive Through
Kris,
As of December 3 we were able to redesign the receptionist area and move the drive through lanes and
teller windows eleven feet closer to the front of the bank building. The drive through lanes will have 3 vacuum
tubes and will be plumed for a fourth in the ATM lane, with four lanes fully operational the drive thorough design
will now handle up to 18 cars stacked. Peek time estimates are as follows, on a Friday end of month after being
in operation for one year the maximum amount of drive through traffic between five and six PM would be no more
then six cars at one time.
Thank you,
Paulette Parrott
