P75 <br />• Improvements are planned for the Lake Drive /Main Street intersection following <br />the November 2010 referendum to provide funding for the improvements. The <br />proposed motor fuel use did not create the need for those improvements and will <br />not interfere with those plans. <br />h. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of <br />operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property, or the general welfare <br />because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. <br />• The site operated as a motor fuel station for several decades. Lighting and noise <br />has been considered, including hours of operation. (See canopy discussions <br />below.) <br />i. Will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a natural, scenic or historic <br />feature of major importance. <br />• No such features exist on or near the site. <br />Finding 2. Section 7, Subdivisioin 3 of the zoning oridnance includes <br />conditions for Motor Fuel Stations in the General Business zone. The proposed <br />conditional use permit amendment complies with these standards as follows: <br />7. Motor fuel stations provided that: <br />a. Motor Fuel Facilities. Motor fuel facilities shall be installed in accordance with <br />State and City standards. Additionally, adequate space shall be provided to <br />access fuel pumps and allow maneuverability around the pumps. Underground <br />fuel storage tanks are to be positioned to allow adequate access by motor fuel <br />transports and unloading operations which do not conflict with circulation, access <br />and other activities on the site. Fuel pumps shall be installed on pump islands. <br />• Three underground fuel tanks will be installed as well as the pump islands. The <br />shape and location of the site poses some circulation challenges. A previous <br />plan was unworkable but the new plan is much better. Customer vehicles can <br />circulate well. The truck turning radii submitted on August 30 shows adequate <br />truck circulation for the Lake Drive access driveway <br />b. Architectural Standards. <br />1) As a part of the conditional use permit application, a color illustration of all <br />building elevations shall be submitted. <br />2) The architectural appearance, scale, and functional plan of the building(s) and <br />canopy shall be complementary and compatible with each other and the <br />existing buildings in the neighborhood setting. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
