Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission Z3 March 1983 Page Two The Ordinance has no predetermined parking requirement for this type of use. The applicant has estimated a maximum need for three employee spaces and four to six customer spaces. All company owned vehicles will be stored in the garage. It is felt that eight spaces would be sufficient. The site plan provides for eight on -site spaces and seven off -site spaces. The off -site spaces are in- tended for employee parking only and require a CUP. The location of this parking meets the provisions of the CUP in that it is within 300 feet of the principal use being served. It should, however, have a perimeter curbing such as the on -site parking has. All areas bordering this parking should have grass, plantings or surfacing material indicated. It is also recommended that this off -site parking be signed for "employees only" to avoid confusion. A provision of outside storage and sales as a conditional use is that it be screened from view of adjacent residential districts. In this case, the southern edge of the property abuts a residential district. A wood fence has been pro- posed to run along part of the southern edge where the homes to the south are not blocked from view by the storage and garage structure, but technically, the fence .should be extended along the entire boundary. The fence will require a building permit. Building plans for the office /garage and accessory "check -out" building will need to be submitted to the Building Official for his review and approval. A landscape plan has been submitted in accordance with the Ordinance, including a well detailed display area at the entrance to the site. Although iandscaping is not required for screening purposes and therefore not subject to specific size requirements, the proposed sizes should be indicated on the plan. All species proposed are properly located and hardy. Orainage arrows have been included on the plan to indicate general drainage patterns. However, without spot elevations or contours, the Engineer may not have enough information to adequ.:tely review the site drainaqe. For background on the Zoning Ordinance amendment. see our office memo dated 21 ;'arch 1983. Scr,1 "OATION The decision an the Zoning Ordinance amendment should be discussed by the Commission and a recommendation made to the Council. The apprcval_of the conditional use permits for outside sales and storage is recc.tended contingent on the following items: • Adequate loading and aisle width is maintained between landscape materials.
