Because the proposed subdivision incorporates a private service drive, the rocessin of a planned unit development (Concept Plan) in p � 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 th e construction of a 5,988 square foot bank (with a drive-through facility) upon proposed Lot 1, Flock 2 of the subdivision. The subject property is zoned B -3, Highway Business and Warehouse � p p y Exhibit H Building Elevations Exhibit 1- Landscape Plan Exhibit J - Lighting Plan Exhibit K m City Arborist Comments 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.

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.

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: Exhibit A: Oak Park Station Preliminary plat Exhibit 6: Oak Park Station — Final Plat Exhibit C: Revised Site Plan S & C Bank pc: Kris Danielson 2 Kris Danielson From: Sent: To: Cc: 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.
