Osgood Avenue North to the east; 9 "' Street North to the south; and Oren
Avenue North to the west. Snder' S is proposed to be located in Suites
and K of the existing Stillwater Crossings retail center, on the south end
of the building. Currently, there are numerous tenants within the retail

approvals under the 3-2, General Business District. Therefore, Lots and

Parking Lots Design.
N um be r of Parking Spaces. The Ordinance requires six Spaces per each one
thousand square feet of gross floor area for a shopping center. The entire
building contains 15,047 square feet!. at Stillwater Cro sing .
Floor area of Stillwater Crossing: 15,047 ft x 0.9 13,542.3
ft
13.5423 x 6 parking Spaces - 81.2
Total = 82 parking Spaces
The parking lot serving Stillwater Crossings Shopping Center contains 8
parking spaces, which meets the ordinance requirement ent f 82 parking ng Spaces .
Entrance/Exit. The ingress/egress to the south end of the shopping center
is located on the south end of the site off of 59 Street North., which
intersects with Highway 67/Osgood Avenue North..
Drive-Throuqh Prescription Drug Store. The drive-through in ow i s
proposed on the South side of the uilding and will contain a canopy
overhead. The applicants originally p two different layouts for the
drive-through. ne first alternative ( 1 1 and A201 date 09/09/08)
approaches the drive-through coming from the south (from 9 "' Street North
and turning east (towards Osgood Avenue North) . The second alternative
(C101 and A201 date d 12 approaches the drive-through coming from the
north through the parking lot) and turning west.
The applicants have decided to proceed with the first alternative. ,staff
finds this alternative u f f i c i en t to serge the drive-through prescription
needs. Staff would suggest that a curb island e placed extending west
from the building to allow for at :feast one stacking space.
Liqhtinq Plan. A Light -.ng Plan has been submitted by Architectural
Lighting Designs, Inc. (AL D, In.c .) .
F ixture s. The Lighting Plan specifies two types of lighting fixtures:
Type A and Type W. Type A (Emco val.ut e ) is a full cutoff light with an
internal house s ide shield, located on a 20 foot pole, with a three foot
tall. base, which meets the Ordinance maximum of 25 feet. Type W (Gardco 106
Line is a full. cutoff, wall-mounted light, located at 14 feet high. The
spec sheets include an illustration of each type of light fixture.
1n.ten it r . The intensity of the proposed Lighting Plan appears to meet the
requirements of the Ordinance, which requires that any light on a public
street shall not exceed one foot candle as measured from the center line of
said street, nor shall any light on a residential property exceed four-
tenths foot candles as measured from said property.
Location. The Lighting Plan proposes eight lighting fixtures of each tree
of fixture: eight pole-mounted lights and eight wall-mounted lights. The
eight pole-mounted light are proposed on the exterior portions of the
parking areas of the Stillwater Crossings retail center, which meet the
setback requirements. The eight wail- mounted lights are proposed on the
exterior of the retail center, facing the parking areas.
Hours. The use of outdoor lighting for parking lots serving commercial and
industrial businesses shall be turned off one hour after closing, except
for approved security lighting.
Landscape Design, Not applicable.
Si. n .ge . Stillwater Crossings is subject to the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance related to multiple occupancy business structures (Section
401.15.G.10-d-) . H owever, a change in signage and awnings was approved for
the property in October of 2001.
1 Gulls Sin g The application materials include details on the
proposed signs for the east elevation of the Snyder's building. This
building elevation shall contain a two foot by 15 foot, nine inches
Raceway Mount LED Channel. Letter Set sign that states: ', DRUG

2 In addition., two one foot, eight inches by 10 foot "tenant ID Panels
are proposed to be placed in the existing illuminated double -faced
pylon sign. These panels shall also state: SIVYDERIS DRUG STORE4S.

freestanding sign requirements ent for a mixed use occupancy building,
which requires that the freestanding sign cannot excee d 100 square
foot and a maximum height of 20 feet.
The maximum individual sign sizes for multiple occupancy structures
and individual businesses that may display a sign shall not exceed the
maximum provisions for single occupancy structures of the applicable
zoning district.

Building 'fir and Construction.
Exterior Finishes. The building that nyder' s is proposing to move into
is existing. It is composed of stucco and fieldstone veneer on the
exterior. A canopy is existing on the east elevation, which is proposed to
retain. The applicants are proposing minor changes to the building, such
as: removing existing windows and an entrance on the east elevation in the
center of the building and installing new windows and in.fill with new
veneer to match the existing exterior finishes. In return., they are
proposing to remove existing windows and stone veneer to the side of the
east elevation and installing new doors and windows to match the existing
doors and windows.
On the south elevation, the applicants are proposing to add a give- through
canopy to match the existing canopy and to install a new window below the
canopy for the drive4 -thru. In addition, they plan to remove the existing
wall, stone veneer, and existing windows in order to place a new door in
its place.
Quality. s was stated above, the huildin. g is existing, but the proposed
modifications appear to meet the quality standards of the ordinance, which
states that buildings in all zoning districts shall maintain a high
standard of architectural and aesthetic compatibility with surrounding
properties to ensure that they will not adversely impact the property
values of the abutting properties or adversely impact the public health,
safety, and general welfare.

provided (see Exhibits 13 and 14). The trash enclosure is proposed to e

composed of foot by 23 foots concrete pad with a wood enclosure that
shall occupy approximately half of the concrete pad and shall be painted to
match the color of the building. The wood enclosure hall contain two 10.5

meet the requirements of the Ordinance.
Grading and Drainage. Not applicable.
