• • 3. Cedar is an existing quarter mile long cul -de -sac. Provision of a secondary access would allow an additional option of Emergency Vehicle access. It would be reasonable provide the secondary driveway from 21st Avenue acknowledging that modifications or changes may happen in conjunction with future development of the parcel. Parking The Proposal includes spaces for 462 parking stalls. The materials provided by the Developer do not explain the process by which that number was derived. A cursory calculation based on the requirements of the Ordinance would indicate a need for in excess of 10,000 parking spaces, which is intended for an indoor skating rink with spectators. The Developer must provide more information on the exact use of the structure, and, if it will be set up for spectators, how many seats will be provided. Environmental Board The reviewed the request on June 25, 2003 and recommended denial. There comments are attached and provide recommendations if the project is approved. Findings 1. The Sportatorium consisting of the ice arena is a conditional use in the LI - Limited Business District due to height exceedence of 45 feet. A structure of the size proposed that is air- inflated needs sufficient height to remain supported. 2. The restaurant, banquet hall and pro shop qualify as conditional uses to the principal use. 3. The proposed use will require a MUSA expansion of 38 acres from the City's Growth Area - 1998 -2010. 4. Pending the MUSA expansion, public sewers and public water can be extended to this facility. 5. The proposed building meets all setback requirements except the setback requirements on the east. The Applicant has positioned the building on the east side of the property in order to avoid a small wetland on the west side of the structure. 6. The building meets the impervious surface requirements of the Ordinance, but the Developer must realize that the amount of impervious capacity used in this development will affect future usage of the remainder of this parcel. 7. Since the proposed complex cannot meet all of the specific building requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the project should be viewed as a whole with extensive use of landscaping, especially the planting of trees, to create visual interest and relief around the structure. 8. All air conditioning and blower units shall be screened and landscaped. 12701 -002
