PUD -- Concept & Development Plan Application Narrative
The Shoppes of oak Park Heights — Phase 2
March 9, 2004
Introduction
The Shoppes of Oak Park Heights, LLC is submitting the attached application for
development of a 5.7 -acre site in Oak Park Heights, Minnesota. The City reviewed
applications for development of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of this project in 2003. This
narrative describes the Phase 2 site development and the application request.
Location
The site is located at the southeast corner of 60 Street North and Krueger Lane. State
Highway 36 is directly north of the site. Through the center of the overall property is a
200+ foot overhead electric transmission easement and a city water tower is south of the
subject property. Menards is located west of the site and Walmart is located to the east of
the property.
Site Development
As shown on the Site Plan, the proposed commercial site will include a variety of retail
users including a multi -use restaurant pad, a retail building (with multiple users), a tire
store, and a single-use restaurant pad. The total proposed building area is approximately
28,700 SF and the site will include 300 parking stalls. Primary access to the site will be
from driveway accesses off of 60 Street and Krueger Lane. Two other access locations
proposed with the Phase 1 development will provide internal circulation pathways to
Norell Avenue and Krueger Lane.
The property is currently platted as one outlot. As shown on the proposed plat the site
will be platted into four separate lots for each of the proposed site users.
Site Guiding and Zoning
According to the City's Comprehensive Plan, the site is presently Guided for a
Commercial Use. As part of the approvals granted for the property in 2003, the site was
rezoned to "B -2" General Business District. Development of the site will likely include a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay.
Building Architecture
As shown on the Architectural Elevations, the architecture and storefronts of the
proposed buildings will generally be consistent with each other to provide a unified
appearance. The architectural materials will consist primarily of brick, rockface block
and synthetic stucco (eifs). The various storefronts will be tied together through the use
of decorative brick piers and stucco cornices. The brick piers and cornices will continue
on all sides of the building.
Conditional Use Permit and Variance Requests
To accommodate the proposed Tire Sales store on Lot 3, a request for a Conditional Use
Permit is being requested with this application.
To improve the street appeal for the proposed restaurant building on Lot 1, building
signage is proposed on all sides of the building. The proposed signage area will be
consistent with City standards, and be divided between the fronts, sides and backs of the
building. To accommodate the signage on all sides, a request for a sign variance is being
requested with this application.
Roadway Access
The roadway system surrounding the property provides ample access to the proposed site
and rimary access will be from 60 Street and Krueger Lane. The Traffic Study
p
submitted with the previous Concept Plan Application provides additional information on
existing and proposed traffic conditions.
Site Utilities
Public utilities for sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer service are presently
available to serve the site within the adjacent roadway right -of ways. Gas, electric, and
telephone service are also available to serve the site.
As shown on the Grading and Utility Plans, stormwater drainage from the site will be
directed west towards an existin g on -site stormwater pond near Krueger Lane and 60
Street. The pond drains west of the site via storm sewer piping into a regional pond
created with development of the Menard's site. The Menard's pond was studied by the
City and the Brown's Creek Watershed District as part of the Phase 1 approval process
and found to be adequately sized for the Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects.
Easement Relocation
As shown proposed plat and site plan drawings, there is an easement covering the
existing lift station adjacent to 60` Street. The lift station is currently accessed by a
driveway off 60 street. With development of the site it is proposed to reconfigure the
easement area to better utilize the available site area and to allow a potential driveway
access to the lift station from the proposed site. The proposed easement area will be
approximately the same as the existing easement area. To facilitate the new easement
location, the City will need to grant a right of access on the existing easement (for
parking purposes) and accept the new easement proposed with the plat. It is understood
that specific details for the easement issue will be addressed with the development
agreement
