Marmon Keystone July 12, 2000 page 4 • Roads., Access, Circulation Passenger vehicles will use the parking on the east side of the building. A shared driveway provides access to the site on the east side of the site. The driveway will be shared by TC Fab and the Marmon Keystone. A shared driveway agreement between the two sites will be necessary and staff is recommending that one be submitted for City review as a condition of approval. In reviewing shared driveways, we must consider potential traffic conflicts in the driveway itself. Vehicles leaving the sites come from two directions and mix in the driveway before exiting onto Apollo. The parking drive is 100+ feet back from Apollo Drive. This is quite adequate to minimize conflicts. A public roadway segment is proposed on the west side of the site. This would be about 230 ft. of road with a cul de sac. This road provides for trucks to circulate around the site. In addition, the road will provide access to future parcels in the undeveloped area on the west of the Marmon Keystone site. This road will be constructed to City standards and will require a developer's agreement like other development projects involving public roads. Both the shared driveway and the public roadway are consistent with the joint powers agreement with Anoka County that covers the number and type of accesses on Apollo Drive. • Park Dedication Park dedication will be subject to the City policy. For low -labor intensity businesses (one employee or fewer per 1000 sf), the requirement is $133 per 1000 sf of commercial building. Marmon Keystone, with the potential for 11 employees in 83,050 sf, qualifies for this. Therefore, the park dedication would be $11,045. • Outdoor Storage Conditional Use Permit Outdoor storage is allowed as a conditional use in the LI zone per Ordinance 02 -00, adopted this past February. Two sets of findings must be made. Findings for All Conditional Use Permits: As stated in Sec. 2 Subd. 2.B.7., the Planning and Zoning Board shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it can make fmdings that the proposed use at the proposed location: a. Will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. b. Will be harmonious with the general and applicable specific plans and policies of the comprehensive plan of the City and this ordinance. • •
