Little Canada Planning Commission 6 October 1987 Page Two Parking. The proposed site plan shows 369 parking stalls to accommodate the existing health club and the proposed convenience food restaurant. The proposed site plan exceeds the required parking for these uses. The additional parking is highly desirable to meet the potential for an expanding health club membership. Parking stalls comply with the City's dimensional standards of 9' x 20'. The drive aisles are 24 feet in width in accordance with City standards. The western curb cut and driveway conforms with an area concept plan prepared in conjunction with the Hardees development. We would recommend that the east -west drive aisle entering the parking from the western curb cut be aligned with the Hardee's parking lot driveway. The Hardee's site plan shows an entrance into their parking lot 70 feet north of the Minnesota Avenue lot line. The entire parking lot and circulation system is required to meet the following design features: 1. The entire parking lot must be paved with bituminous surfacing. 2. A continuous curb not less than six inches in height must be provided around the entire perimeter of the parking and driveway areas. 3. All parking stalls must be striped with 4" wide painted lines. 4. The parking lot must be illuminated. All lighting must be hooded so as to reflect light away from adjoining properties or public rights -of -way. Off- Street Loading. The Little Canada Zoning Ordinance requires any structure erected or altered for a use that requires the receipt of materials or merchandise by trucks or similar vehicles to provide an off - street loading space. The applicant's site plan shows no off - street loading space that is accessible to the proposed convenience food restaurant. The applicant should demonstrate how deliveries will serve the new business. By ordinance, the loading space must meet the following criteria: 1. The loading space must be separate and exclusive from the parking and driveway areas. 2. The loading area must be 10' x 70' in dimension. Trash Receptacle. The site plan does not address the provision of a trash receptacle. The applicant should show both the location and accessibility of an on -site trash receptacle for the business. Trash receptacles should be located at the rear of the building and fully screened from view. Page 57
