P.02/02 <br />Direction <br />Land Use <br />Zoning <br />North <br />Interstate 35W/undeveloped <br />R-1 <br />South <br />Single Family Residential <br />R--1 <br />East <br />Single Family Residential <br />R-1 <br />West <br />Senior Housing <br />R-4 <br />Considering that the proposed structure expansion is to occur within the interior of the site <br />over 300 feet from adjacent residentially zoned land, the proposed semi-public use is <br />considered compatible with adjacent uses. <br />Public Services. As a condition of CUP approval, findings must be nude that the <br />proposed use will not overburden the City's service capacity. As noted on the site plan, <br />the existing church facility is currently served by a private septic system. As part of the <br />proposed church expansion, the church is required to hook up to City sewer and water. <br />The proposed use is not expected to overburden the City's service capacity. <br />Traffic Generation. While traffic generated by the proposed church expansion will <br />undoubtably escalate traffic volumes upon Elrn Street, it is believed such street can (with <br />any necessary improvements) adequately handle such volumes_ It should be understood <br />that peak traffic generation for the church will not coincide with typica! "rush hour" traffic. <br />Necessary improvements (i.e., turn lane, signage, eta) should be subject to the <br />recommendations of the Anoka County Highway Department and City Engineer. <br />Access. The subject site is currently provided five separate access points to Elm Street <br />As shown on attached Exhibit D, the church expansion plan calls for the elimination of one <br />of the said access points and a westerly shift of the westernmost driveway. in <br />consideration of Elm Street's classification as a collector street, the proposed elimination <br />of an existing access point and increased driveway separations are viewed as positive. <br />As part of the CUP amendment consideration, however, it is recommended that an attempt <br />be made to also eliminate the site's easternmost access point (east of original church). <br />Such removal would rectify an existing jogged street intersection condition which exists in <br />the area With the exception of the easternmost driveway, all access drives measure 26 <br />feet in width and satisfy maximum curb cut width standards. <br />Setbacks. The proposed church addition, accessoy storage bLuldinO, and off-street <br />parking areas have been found to meet applicable R-1 District setback requirements as <br />shown below <br />5 <br />TOTAL P.02 <br />
