(b) adequate screening from abutting resident ial uses and landscaping is provided in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 4.S. of the Ordinance; Comment: The proposed building addition wi ll be adequately screened from the residence located northeast of the site with landscaping including si x (6) spruce trees and two (2) sugar maples. (c) adequate off-street parking and access is provided on the site in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 5 of the Ordinance and that such parking is adequately screened and landscaped from surrounding and abuttin g residential uses in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 4.S. of the Ordinance; and Comment: The off-street park ing area will remain substant ially the same. The parking spaces have been reconfigured to incor porate two (2) additiona l designated disabled parking spaces in accordance with the guide lines established by the Minnesota State Council on Disability, resulting a reduction from 91 to 90 total parking spaces. All off- street parking spaces meet the minimum di mensional requirements of Section 3, Subd. 5 of the Ordinance. A wooded area in the sout hwest corner of the site provides screening of the parking lot from CSAH 10. (d) adequate off-street loading and service entrances are provided and regulated where applicable by Section 3, Subd. 6. of the Ordinance. Comments: Additional loading is not indi cated by the plans submitted for the building addition. A conditional use permit for th e site was previously appr oved by the City in April 1993. The current application will expand the existi ng structure but will not alter the use as previously approved. Adequate parking fo r the proposed building addition is currently available on site and the proposed buildi ng addition meets all relevant setback requirements. The site is located less than 1,000 feet from Reshanau Lake, a Recreational Development Lake, and is therefore subject to the provi sions of the Shoreland Management Overlay District (“Shoreland District”). The purpose of the Shoreland District is to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters. The Shoreland District standards ar e applied in addition to standa rds set forth in other zoning districts. Access/Site Circulation. Access to the site is provided via an existing driveway along CSAH 10. Preliminary review by the A noka County Highway Department (ACHD) indicates that turn lanes may be required as a result of the proposed improvements to the site. Any roadway improvements should be subject to comment and recommendation by the City Engineer and the ACHD.
