g. Exterior Lighting. The lighting shall be accomplished in such a way as to have no direct source of light visible from adjacent land in residential use or from the public right - of -way and shall be in compliance with Section 3, Subd. 4.F of this Ordinance. A comprehensive lighting plan shall be submitted as part of the conditional use permit application, and shall be subject to the following performance standards: 1) Canopy Lighting. Canopy lighting shall only be permitted under the canopy structure, and shall consist of canister spotlights recessed into the canopy. No portion of the light source or fixture may extend below the ceiling of the canopy. Total canopy illumination below the canopy may not exceed one hundred fifteen (115) foot candles at ground level. 2) Perimeter Lighting. Lighting at the periphery of the site and building shall be directed downward, and individual lights shall not exceed fifteen (15) foot candles at ground level. 3) Illumination. Maximum site illumination shall not exceed four - tenths (.4) foot candle at ground level when measured at any boundary line with an adjoining residential property or any public property. • These items are discussed under the canopy section (c.4) above). 4) Access. Vehicular access points shall create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement and shall comply with Section 3, Subd. 5 of this Ordinance. h. Circulation and Loading. The site design must accommodate adequate turning radius and vertical clearance for a semi - trailer truck. Designated loading areas must be exclusive of off - street parking stalls and drive aisles. A site plan must be provided to illustrate adequate turning radius, using appropriate engineering templates. • Truck circulation is vital to safe and efficient movement on the site. The truck turning radii were not submitted. This is an incomplete item. The turning radii for gas pump circulation should be examined as well, as discussed above under 7.a. i. Parking. 1) Parking spaces shall be calculated solely based upon the use(s) and the square footage of the principal building(s). • The zoning ordinance lists the minimum number of parking stalls for different uses. The ordinance does have a separate parking requirement for motor fuel stations but the convenience store must be calculated as retail, which is a higher requirement. Either way, "parking at fuel pumps shall not be allowed to satisfy the parking requirements." The table shows the calculations. • • Zoning Ordinance Parking Requirement Required Stalls convenience 1 stall per 200 sf using floor plan 2458 sf 12 store liquor 1 stall per 200 sf using 90% of footprint 1179 sf 6 restaurant 10 stalls per 1000 sf of dining room 588 sf 6 + 1 stall per employee of max. shift 3 required total 27 provided on site 29 • •
