a Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission 31 July 1984 Page Two The alternative is a conditional use Planned Unit Development which will accomplish the sane goal. Such an agreement would require these parcels to be used for one principal use. In addition, provisions for a security bond to ensure that site improvements are completed can be written into this agreement. Road Improvements. Woodlynn Avenue is capable of handling the traffic generated by the site, but it is in need of improvements. Blacktop and curb and gutter end just beyond Empire Bucket. The remainder of the street has become undefined and used for storage and parking by R & S to the point where it is a hazard to public safety. The necessary improvements include pavement, curb and gutter, and a cul -de -sac for a turn around area. City Code should be strictly enforced to prohibit storage and parking on the public street. Parking. Thirty -nine parking spaces are required for the property in question. The site plan attached as Exhibit B shows a proposed layout for parking. The six stalls west of the building should be clearly marked as "Customer Parking Only" and not used for vehicles waiting repair or employee vehicles. Curbing should be placed where these stalls extend beyond the building. The two stalls placed in front of the fence on the blacktop driveway should be removed as traffic moves on all sides of this area. Landscaping and Screening. A landscape plan should be required as part of the PUD. All areas not specifically authorized as parking spaces, drive- ways, loading areas and storage space should be grass sodded or seeded. The salvage yard should be screened from all directions. A dense screen of tall_growing evergreens (Spruce, Austrian Pine, etc.) is recommended for the south and east border. A solid fence at least six feet high which will obscure view should border the west and north side of the salvage lot.
