ride Group has requested preliminary plat approval of an eight lot commercial
Gold g .p e

Memorial Avenue North. Because the proposed subdivision incorporates a private
service drive, the rocessin of a planned unit development (Concept Plan) in

conjunction with the preliminary plat is necessary.
the request for subdivision approval, addition to tl� q pp roval, the applicants have also requested
approval of a planned unit development/conditional ment/conditional use permit (General Plan) to allow
appr p p

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Preliminary Plat
Lots. As shown on the preliminary plat, a total of eight lots have been proposed
ranging from 0.8 to 2.5 acres in size. All proposed lots have been found to comply with
the minimum 15,000 square foot area requirement of the B -3 zoning district.
While ail proposed lots meet the minimum 100 foot width requirement of the B-3 district,
some concern exists in regard to lot width consistency. Although Lot 4, Block 2
technically meets the minimum 100 foot width requirement, it is provided significantly
less width than other lots within the subdivision. To address this concern, it is
suggested that the shared side lot line between Lots 3 and 4, Block 2 be shifted
northward (and emanate from the centum of the adjacent private street arc).
It should be noted that Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 and Lot 5, Block 2 are provided double
frontage and are oversized. In this regard future resubdivision possibilities for such tots
exist.
outiots. The preliminary plat includes two outlots; one overlaying the proposed private
service drive and the other overlaying a designated drainage area. Both outlots are
however designated as "Outlot A ". This should be corrected as a condition of
preliminary plat approval.
In regard to the proposed designation of the private street and drainage area as outiots,
the City Attorney has recommended that either the applicant provide information
(satisfactory to the City Attorney) justifying the outiot designations or the private drive
and drainage area be constructed within an established easement
Easements. Presently, Lot 2, Block 1 and Lots 4 and 5, Block 2 are bisected by
drainage and utility easements. To provide ample area for buildings upon such lots,
these easements will need to be vacated. This issue should be subject to further
comment by the City Engineer.
To be noted is that a 30 foot wide drainage easement has been provided between Lots
4 and 5, Block 2. The acceptability of this and other easements should be subject to
comment and recommendation by the City Engineer.
Access. As illustrated on the preliminary plat, all proposed lots are provided double
frontage. While lots abutting Highway 5 will be provided access via the proposed
2
private street, future lot access to other lots is undetermined at this time, To optimize
access opportunities (and provide greater lot size consistency), it is conceivable that
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 and Lot 5, Block 2 could be resubdivided at some future point.
if future access provided along ass is to be rovided aloe Memorial Avenue North and 58 Street, access
locations should, to the extent possible, be in alignment with existing curb cuts which
border the subject property.
Access issues associated with the bank proposal will be discussed later in this report.
Streets. As previously indicated, a private service drive has been proposed as part of
the subdivision. Such service drive is to be constructed within a 40 foot wide outlot. To
accommodate the proposed private service drive (and Tots without public street access),
the processing of a planned unit development (concept plan) is necessary.
As a private drive, maintenance responsibilities will Ile with the developer (or his
assigns) and will likely be governed by an association. As a condition of final plat
approval, documents ensuring the maintenance of the private drive should be submitted
to the City Attorney for review and approval.
Appropriately ro riately the northerly access to the subdivision is in alignment with an existing
curb cut along
58 Street North.
It is the applicant's intent to construct the service drive in a sequence which follows site
development. While this is considered an acceptable situation, a temporary cul -de -sac
should be provided at the service drive's southern terminus.
Grading and Drainage. As noted previously, a portion of the site (Outlot A) has been
dedicated for the purpose of stormwater storage. The acceptability of the proposed
stormwater holding area and other grading and drainage issues should be subject to
review and comment by the City Engineer and the applicable watershed district or
authority.
Utilities. The City Engineer should provide comment and recommendation in regard to
utility issues including light standards of the proposed private service drive.
Park Dedication. Park dedication fees for the subject property were previously paid to
the Township. As a result, no park land or cash contributions will be required.
Development Agreement. As a condition of final plat approval, a development
agreement between the applicant and the City will be required as part of the approvals
subject ect to City Attorney and City Council review and approval. All aspects of the
agreement including the payment of assessments related to standard utility construction
shalt be additional conditions of approval for the proposed development.
As a condition of Final Plat approval, connection fees (for water, sewer and sanitary
sewer) for all lots which comprise the proposed subdivision will need to be paid.
3
Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit
Development proposal. As previously indicated, the applicant is proposing to
p
construct a 5,988 square foot bank (with a drive- through facility) upon proposed Lot 1,
Block 2 of the subdivision. To accommodate a development without public street
access and the . bank's accessory drive -up facility (a conditional use in the B -3 district),
the processing of a PUD /CUP is necessary.
Off-street Parking. As shown below the ordinance requires a total of 30 off - street
parking spaces for the proposed bank.
Use
Bank
5,988 s.f. x .9 = 5,389 s.f.
Bank (drive.up
component)
Four drive -in units
Required S 'aces
Ordinance Requirement
1 space per 250 square feet
of floor area
2 spaces for each drive-in
aisle plus 180 feet of stacking
s .ace for each drive -in unit
Required Spaces
8
30
In excess of the above requirement, the applicant is proposing to provide 59 off - street
parking spaces.
It should be noted that the City encourages "proof of parking" in cases where the off -
street arkin supply exceeds expectant demand. considering that the applicant is
p g
proposing to exceed the required parking supply by 29 stalls, reserving land as "proof of
p g
parking" should be considered.
Ail off - street p arking stalls and drives aisles have been found to comply with minimal
dimensional requirements of the ordinance.
Site Access. As shown on the submitted site plan, the subject site is to be accessed
via two points from the private service drive. While the two access points themselves
i
are considered acceptable, some concern exists in regard to the proximity of the
northernmost access to the 58 Street North /service drive intersection. With a
ara
se p tion of onl y 26 feet, minimal stacking space will exist at the intersection. To
•
address this concern, it is suggested that the site's northernmost access be shifted
southward approximately 20 feet.
Another item of concern is the southernmost curb cut. At 50 feet in width, the curb cut
significantly exceeds the maximum 24 foot width standard required by the Ordinance.
g y
While a curb cut width in excess of 24 feet can be accommodated via the planned
development and is likely desired in consideration of the need to access the proposed
drive-up lanes, it is suggested the curb cut width be reduced to 32 feet.
Access related issues should be subject to further comment by the City Engineer.
4
Site circulation. While the site circulation system appears relatively straight forward,
some concerns do exist.
In consideration of the drive -up tellers and their location, the site seems to lend itself to
a one -wa y circulation pattern. It is believed that two -way vehicle circulation; particularly
south of the teller lanes would be highly problematic. At times when the southernmost
drive -u p lane is used, only a 10 foot wide drive aisle will exist between the vehicle using
the teller (or ATM) and the adjacent off - street parking stall.
To address this concern, the following site modifications are suggested:
® A one—way circulation pattern be utilized such that entry to the site occur at the
southernmost access and exiting occur to the north.
O off - street p arking stalls to the south of the southernmost drive -up teller lane be
eliminated and converted to green area.
O The southernmost row of parking stalls be converted from a 90 degree to 60
degree configuration.
Setbacks. While the nature of planned development allows for interior setback
flexibility, perimeter setback requirements of the applicable B-3 zoning district must be
fie x y, p q yard setback is required. W
t foot f
40 f
u With a
upheld. Within 6 3 zoning districts, a ooron yari
p
setback of 55 feet from Highway 5 and 77 feet from 58 Street North, perimeter setback
requirements have been satisfied.
As shown on the submitted site plan, the bank is proposed to lie 21 feet from the curb of
the p ro osed private service drive. As a condition of P U D /CUP approval, such setback
p p
should be increased to 25 feet.
Building Height. The Bpi zoning district establishes a maximum building height of 35
feet. At approximately 17 feet in height, the bank satisfies this requirement.
Building Materials. The zoning Ordinance states that building materials of structures
within B-3 zonin g districts must adhere to both the requirements of the ordinance and
the City's design guidelines.
The g
design guidelines state that buildings should be designed specifically for the site
and should relate to surrounding buildings in terms of style, color and materials. The
guidelines further state that commercial buildings must be composed of at least 65 percent Grade 1 or Grade 11 materials.
The bank is ro osed to be finished in a combination of materials. The base of the
p P
buildin g is to be finished in split face concrete (color not specified). The mid section of
the building (above the base) and building entrances are to be finished in face brick
while u er third of the building (and drive - through canopy) are to be finished in Ell 's.
pp
5
While the building satisfies the material requirements of the Ordinance and design
guidelines, specific building material colors should be specified.
Drive -up Lanes. As shown on the site plan, four drive -up lanes have been proposed
on the south side of the bank. According to the ordinance, each drive -up lane must
provide 180 feet of stacking space (the equivalent of 9 cars). In contrast to the
ordinance requirement, only 80 feet of stacking space for each drive -up lane have been
proposed.
While the bank technically does not satisfy the ordinance requirement of 180 feet per
lane, the total amount of vehicular stacking space (320 square feet) satisfies the intent
of the stacking requirement as originally conceived. Thus, the proposed dispersal of the
stacking space is considered acceptable and may be accommodated via the PUCE
Landscaping. The submitted landscape plan has been subject to detailed review and
comment by the City Arborist (see attached Exhibit K). Comments include, but are not
limited to, the following recommendations:
• The plan should list the scientific names of all plantings.
O The plan should be revised to provide more attractive and consistent plant
materials.
O The plan should be prepared by a professional landscape designer or a
landscape architect.
sidewalks. As a condition of PUD /CUP approval, the site plan should be revised to
illustrate ( applicant the a licant should be responsible for the construction of) an eight foot
wide sidewalk along the proposed service drive,
In addition, a connection from such sidewalk to the bank should be provided.
Lighting. As required by Ordinance, a lighting plan has been submitted for review.
According to section 401.15.B.7 of the Ordinance, no light source which cast light on a
public ublic street may exceed one footcandle reading as measured from the centerline of the
street. Further, no light source which casts light on adjacent property may exceed four -
tenths footcandles at the property line. While it is acknowledged that the subject site is
to be served by a "private" service drive, the lighting standards of the Ordinance for a
public street will be imposed.
All site lighting should be hooded and directed such that the source of the light is not
visible from surrounding properties and rights -of -way.
As an additional condition of approval, details regarding fixture type and location should
be provided,
6
Grading and Drainage. As required by ordinance, a grading and drainage plan
specific to the subject site has been submitted.
Grading and drainage issues shall be subject to review and comment by the City
Engineer.
Utilities. Utility related issues shall be subject to review and comment by the City
Engineer.
signage. As shown on the site plan, freestanding signs have been proposed in the
northeast and southeast corners of the bank site. The sign in the northeast corner is
specific to the bank and measures six feet in height and 13 square feet in area (per City
definition of sign area) while the sign in the southeast corner is an area identification
sign. The area identification sign measures 10 feet in height and 70 square feet.
While both freestanding signs are considered acceptable in terms of size and
placement, the area identification sign should lie within an easement to allow for
maintenance by a party or parties other than the property owner.
Wall signs have been proposed on the north and west sides or the building. According
to the ordinance, buildings with B-3 zoning districts are allowed a maximum of 64
square feet of wall signage. While specific wall sign dimensions have not been
provided, it appears this requirement has been satisfied. Details related to proposed
wall signage should be submitted as a condition of PUD /CUP approval.
As a condition of PUD /CUP approval, ail applicable sign related requirements of the
ordinance must be satisfied.
Trask A single trash enclosure has been proposed in the southwest area of the site:
The enclosure measures 5 feet in height and matches the finish materials of the
principal building,
Development Agreement, A planned development agreement between the applicants
and the City will be required as part of the approvals subject to City Attorney and City
Council review and approval.

Subject: S &C Bank - Landscape Plan
Scott
have reviewed the landscape plan for S&C Bank and have the
following comments:
1. The Plantin g Schedule should include the scientific names of the plants.
2. The Planting Detail should also include: cutting the twine at the base
of the trunk, cutting off the top of the burlap, or folding it down into
the hole, cutting off the top two rungs of any wire basket encasing the
root ball.
3. It is preferable to not stake trees.
4. Any added backfill or "planting" soil should constitute no more than 1/3
of the backfill soil put into the hole, and should be mixed with existing
soil.
5. The landscape plan itself is not acceptable and should be re -done by a
professional landscape designer or landscape architect. It is not
acceptable for the following reasons:
a. Some of the plant sizes drawn are not accurate and do not
reflect the
mature size of the plants.
b. The plan uses a very strange mixture of plant material. Eastern
red cedar and Siberian peashrub have some good attributes,
but being an attractive landscape plant is not one of them.
Redbud is not hardy in Minnesota and becomes a shrub if it
lives at all.
c. The plan as drawn is not attractive and is inconsistent. There
should be a variety of plant material but some repetition
of design around the perimeter of the lot would be more
attractive. There is no "design" to the plan. It is just
an
assemblage of plants in lines. Grouping at least some of the
plants will result in a more pleasing design.

DATE: December 5, 2001
RE: 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.
C_ouncil .approved the preliminary plat at their Noyember _27, 2001
meeting.
Three issues have been raised related to the site plan for the S & 0 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 shah 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
is issue - feet from the drive lane to access points. This s an ssue that has been reviewed
b y 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.
Orie 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:

Subject: S &C Bank Drive Through
Kris,
As of December 3rd 2001, 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 13 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 atone time.
Thank you

RE:
Oak Park Heights — S & C Bank Two Unit Condominium
Minor Subdivision and PUD Amendment
BACKGROUND
Scott Johnson, representing S & C Bank, has made application to subdivide the existing
re p g
bank build in g Morning at 5795 Mornin Dove Avenue North to allow for a two unit condominium.
The bank would space retain their existin s ace in the building and the second unit would be
used for an insurance office. Both units would share the parking lot and remaining
property in common.
The subdivision
can be done as a minor subdivision, as found under Section 402.01.0
of the Subdivision
Ordinance, An amended PUD is also required. S & C Bank was
approved in December part of 2001 as art of the Oak Park Station development. Of that
overall development, ent only the S & C Bank lot has been given general plan approvals
and is fully constructed,
ISSUES ANALYSIS

Minor Subdivision. Once the property is surveyed, the plat can be approved as a
minor inor subdivision. The plat will be subject to approval of the City Administrator and the
City Attorney.

original a approvals require a PUD amendment The amendment will be processed as
pp re q
part of this request
Parking. The buildin g was compliant with all parking requirements when constructed.
The arkin calculations were based upon a bank and office use. No additional parking
p g
will be required with this use. The parking and driveway area will be held as a common
property for both units of the building. Four stalls, one of which is disability accessible,
p Y
will be dedicated for use to the insurance office.
Signage. The insurance office will be entitled to a sign at their entrance. All signage
shall be subject to submittal of a sign permit and approved by the Building Official in
