• Millers Crossroads Shopping Center page 4 parking spaces with the potential for 16 more. That approval assumed a daycare and retail use of the building. Two restaurant uses instead of the daycare increases the parking needs. As explained in the zoning ordinance, the city can allow a "parking deferment" under certain conditions: the proof of parking would be the parking deferment. Under the conditions for a parking deferral, the peak parking must be less than the required parking, and there must be sufficient property under the same ownership to accommodate the need (Section 3, Subd. 5.G.) That is, there must be space to build the deferred parking spaces if needed in the future (proof of parking). If a problem arises in the future, the city can require the additional parking to be constructed. A peak parking analysis was prepared based on data compiled by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Specific data is available for fast food establishments with and without a drive through. There is no data available specific to coffee shops exclusive of fast food, so some approximation is necessary. The analysis assumed one fast food restaurant with a drive through, one fast food restaurant without a drive through, and the remaining space as medical office. (Parking for a fast food restaurant would be somewhat higher than a coffee shop, and medical office parking is somewhat higher than retail.) Using these approximate, comparable (though higher demand) uses, the analysis shows that the peak demand is 86, so the 87 spaces to be constructed is an adequate number. As required by the zoning ordinance when a parking deferment is allowed, the performance agreement for the site will include the requirement that the additional parking spaces must be constructed if a problem arises. Traffic Generation: Members of the public raised questions about traffic generated by a coffee shop with a drive through facility. A traffic generation analysis was prepared comparing businesses with and without a drive through. Again, there is no data category specific to "coffee shop ", so other uses were examined, including fast food restaurants and pharmacies. A fast food restaurant with a drive through generates more trips during peak hours, but fewer daily trips overall compared to a fast food restaurant withouth a drive through. For a 1648 sf fast food restaurant, comparing with vs. without drive through: with a drive through there would be 10 more trips during the a.m. peak, 12 more trips during the p.m. peak, and 362 fewer trips throughout the entire day. A coffee shop differs from a typical fast food restaurant, of course, and a coffee shop would likely would have its highest traffic in the a.m. rather than p.m. However, this gives some idea of how a drive through might affect traffic generation. Stormwater Management: Stormwater flows through a series of ponds. A large outlot includes the pond to the east of the building and the pond/wetland to the south. These ponds were designed to accommodate stormwater from the commercial site. The retaining wall next to the drive through on the July 2006 plan will not alter this stormwater design. Utilities: The original Millers Crossroads approval included extensive installation of utilities (water and sanitary sewer). Part of the plan includes extending lines across the
