RECOMMENDATION The Preliminary Plat of "Schroeder's Rice Street 2"d" is in compliance with the lot standards in the B -3 District, as such the planning staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat. There are a number of issues in regards to the site plan design and architectural guidelines for the proposed use. If the Planning Commission believes that approval of the proposed building is warranted, planning staff recommends approval be subject to the site plan being revised to address the following issues: 1. An elbow styled turnaround should be provided for the handicapped parking area. 2. Eliminate the 12 parking spaces provided directly in front of the supermarket and replace with green space, plantings, and ornamentation to add visual interest to the blank wall surface of the front of the building. 3. Parking stalls should be designed to the standards required by the Zoning Ordinance. (8 °/2 feet in width, 20 feet in length) 4. The protruding brick faced columns should be of the same EIFS or stucco color, to give the facade more of an undulating appearance. 5. A gabled or other alternative roof style should be added over the entrance portion of the site (as done on the Snyder building) to give the facade more of an undulating appearance. 6. An awning or canopy may be added above the entrance and window portion of the site to vary the appearance. 7. A decorative cornice or some type of building cap should be provided along the roof line as suggested within the architectural guidelines. 8. Landscaping and ornamentation should be added along both the south and west portions of the building to break up the monotonous appearance of the facade. pc.
