• Majestic Pines Report Page 6 Public Services As a condition of CUP approval, findings must be made that the proposed use will not overburden the City's service capacity. Utilities are all to be private, on- site systems. The details of the on -site system must be reviewed by the appropriate staff to demonstrate that the site can accommodate a system to service a building with a capacity of 400 people plus ancillary uses. Preliminary information submitted by the applicant indicates that there is adequate area for an aboveground septic system. The church will need to install a tank for water storage to provide a water source for the fire sprinkler system. Traffic Generation Anoka County has reviewed the proposal and has not raised traffic generation as concern. They have requested improvements to Centerville Rd to help channel traffic into and around the site. Churches generally do not conflict with peak traffic volumes. Turn lanes are required and must be shown on the plan per the City Engineer and County's recommendation. Parkina/Access The parking area is designed with separate ingress and egress. The entrance to the property lines up with Holly Drive to the west and the exit is approximately 460' north to allow turn lanes and bypass lanes on Centerville Rd. Anoka County reviewed an earlier plan and it appears their comments have been incorporated into the plan. The current plan should be submitted to the County to assure they are satisfied. A permit to work in the County right -of -way is required. The R -X provisions of the ordinance do not have specific regulations regarding setbacks for parking lots. The B -1 District calls for a 15' setback from streets. The site plan identifies a 30' setback on the north side of the site and 15' on the west side or street frontage. The ordinance does require a 4' fence or other screening measure when parking is adjacent to a street or residential use. The applicant has increased the number and variety of plantings along the road frontage in lieu of a fence. Based on the ordinance the church is to provide 1 parking stall for each 4 seats in the main assembly hall. There are 400 seats, which requires a minimum of 100 parking stalls. The classrooms add one stall each, and the applicant has indicated there will be 4 -6 employees. This requires a total of 128 parking stalls. 212 stalls are provided with phase one, seven are designated to be accessible. All of the stalls are designed at 9'x18' with 24' drive aisles, this is consistent with the ordinance.
