ISSUES ANALYSIS
Site Analysis. The subject site is surrounded by Highway 36 to the north; Osgood
Avenue North to the east; 59th Street North to the south; and Oren Avenue North to the
west. Sny er's is proposed to be located in Suites J and K of the existing Stillwater
Crossings retail center, on the south end of the building, Currently, there are numerous
tenants within the retail center, including Natural Nils, Metro Dental, DH Wireless,
Buttercream, C r n ' , and Liquor Time. Another building is located to the west of the
proposed Snyd is Drug Store. Taring is located to the south and east of the
proposed Snyder's store, and the drive-through is proposed on the south side of the
building,
Zoning. The Stillwater Crossings retail center (Lower St. Croix Mali) property was
granted Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit approvals under the R2,
General Business District. Therefore, Lots 7 and 8, Block 2, St. Croix Mall PUD 2'
Addition are zoned - General Business District. Site plan review, Design Guidelines
review, and a FEUD amendment are all required in order for this request to be
processed.
Parking Lot Design
Number of PprKing ....S s : 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 Crossing.
Floor Area of Stillwater Crossing: 15,047 sq ft x 0.9 -4 13 542.3 sq ft
13.5423 x parking spaces = 81.25
Total = 82 parking spaces
The parking lot serving Stillwater Crossings Shopping Center contains 83 parking
spaces, which meets the Ordinance requirement ent of 82 parking spa es4
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 Norih, which intersects with Highway
67/Osgood Avenue North.
Drive- Throu•h resrition Druci Store. The drive - through window is proposed on the
south side of the building and will contain a canopy overhead. The applicants originally
proposed two different layouts for the rive- through. The first alternative (0101 and
A201 dated 09/09/08) approaches the drive - through coming from the south (from Sg
Street North) and turning east (towards Osgood Avenue North). The second alternative
2
Page 63 of 118
(C101 and A201 dated 09/12/08) 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 sufficient to serve the drive - through prescription needs. Staff would suggest
that a curb island be placed extending west from the building to allow for at least one
stacking space.
1 4Mr __ I. A Lighting Plan has been submitted by Architectural Lighting Designs,
Inc. (AL D, Inc.).
Fixtures. The Lighting Plan specifies two types of lighting fixtures: Type A and Type W.
Type A Erco Avalume) is a full cutoff light with an internal house side shield, located
on a 20 foot pole, with a three foot tall base, which meets the ordinance maximum of
feet. Type W (Gardco 106 Line) is a full cutoff, wail-mounted light, located at 14 feet
high. The spec sheets include an illustration of each type of light fixture.
intensity, 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 type of fixture:
eight pole - mounted lights and eight wall -- mounted lights. The eight pole - mounted lights
are proposed on the exterior portions of the parking areas of the Stillwater Crossings
retail center, which meet the setback requirements. The eight wall- 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 g . Stillwater Crossings is subject to the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance
related to multiple occupancy business structures (section 01.1 .G. o.d.. However, a
change in sigrge and awnings was approved for the property in October of 200 1,
1) Ill, all ___$ g,r , :, 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: SNYDER'S DRUG STORES, I n addition, signage is
proposed on the drive- through canopy that states PHARMACY DRIVE THRU,
which appears to be approximately two feet by three feet in area.
Staff Comment: The number of individual wail signs shall be limited to one per
entrance, and each sign shall be limited to the maximum ur wall sign allowances permitted
in the district. Tenants on building ends may have a maximum of two signs each to be
3
Page 64 of 118
located at the front and side elevations of the tenant space. The pharmacy drive-thru
sign on the canopy is permissible but cannot be back lit.
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: SNYDER'S DRUG STORES. The addition of these panels
appear to meet the requirements of the freestanding sign requirements for a
mixed use occupancy building, which requires that the freestanding sign cannot
exceed 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.
Hours of Operation. Signs in the R , B-1, -2, B-3, B-4, -W, and I Districts may only
be illuminated during business hours, or until 11:00 PM, whichever is later.
Building Type and Construction.
Exterior Finishes. The building that Snyder'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 remain. 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 infill 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 window,
On the south elevation, the applicants are proposing to add a drive-through canopy to
match the existing canopy and to install a new window below the canopy for the drive -
thru. in addition, they plan to remove the existing wail, stone veneer, and existing
windows in order to place a new door in its place.
Quality. As was stated above, the building is existing, but the proposed modifications
appear to meet the quality standards of the Ordinance, which states that buildings in ail
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.
Trash Enclosure. Details on the proposed trash enclosure have been provided (see
Exhibits 13 and 14). The trash enclosure is proposed to be located in the rear of the
Stillwater Crossings building. it shall be composed of a 23 foot by 23 foot 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 builciiing. The wood enclosure shall contain
two 10.5 foot wide gates with lock bolts. The proposed trash enclosure appears to meet
the requirements ents of the Ordinance.
Grading and Drainage. Not applicable.
