Shift the Apollo Drive/77th Street intersection and Apollo Drive alignment to abut the property line between the subject site and adjacent property to the north. This option would likely require some modification to the layout or location of the 72,000 square foot structure. 3. Utilize the unbuildable area as a landscaped gateway into the development. Extensive landscaping including trees, shrubbery, flowering plants and monument type signage would create a unique and attractive entrance to the development. Access from Lake Drive. Lake Drive (CSAH 23) is under the jurisdiction of Anoka County. Therefore all proposed accesses to the development from Lake Drive require Anoka County approval. The City Engineer has determined that the access south of the Lake Drive /Apollo Drive intersection is too close to the freeway and should be eliminated. A second access from Lake Drive is proposed north of the Apollo Drive /Lake Drive intersection south of 77th Street. The City Engineer has indicated that this access would reduce the number of right turns at Lake Drive/77th Street, but should be right -in /right -out only. Given the recommendation for significant redesign of the internal parking areas and circulation drives, this access should only be provided if it does not interfere with internal circulation. Setbacks. The following setbacks apply within the SC District. Within a PDO, these setbacks are only applied around the perimeter of the development: Front/Street Side I Rear Principal Building Parking Principal Building Parking Principal Building Parking 50 feet 15 feet 10 feet 5 feet 30 feet 5 feet The extension of Apollo Drive through the development creates a physical separation of the north and south areas of the project. As such, the 50 foot setback requirement should also be required for the location of structures adjacent to the street extension. This will require that a number of the structures will need to be setback farther than proposed including the 72,000 sq. ft. structure, and the 6,000 7,000 and 12,000 sq. ft. retail structures. Drive Through Facilities. As noted above, the proposed drive through facilities for the proposed bank, drug store and restaurant uses require approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The Conditional Use Permit would be considered as part of a PDO Development Plan application in consideration of the conditions outlined in Section 7 Subbed. S.H. of the Zoning Ordinance which relate to the specific design of the drive through use, as well as the general conditional use requirements outlined in Section 2, Subd. 2 B.7. 4
