MSP Assisted Living Senior Residential Facility Planning Case 559-99 October 20, 1999 Page 3 • are two accesses to this site, one on County Road I and the other from Mounds View Drive. It has been discussed that the access drive from County Road I be marked as an"exit only" to prevent any attempted dangerous cross-over access from the west-bound lane of County Road I. This should be further discussed, and if it is the consensus of the Commission, the resolution will include a stipulation requiring such signage be added. Utilities and Easements Utilities are available to this site and no easements will be required to be dedicated for this project. There is an existing utility easement along Mounds View Drive in which the telephone and gas lines are buried. A storm sewer is located on the site in the County Road I right of way. Staff will present information at your meeting as to the sufficiency of the number and location of fire hydrants available to the building. Currently, only one hydrant is directly available, that being in the County Road I right of way. Another hydrant is located across Mounds View Drive, although it is about 130 feet away from the building. Staff will have the Fire Department review this plan and make any recommendations. Signage: The site plans do not indicate any signage. Staff has made a request that the applicant supply such plans if any are available. The conditional use permit approved by the City Council allows for signage not to exceed 32 square feet, not including any incidental signs, such as directional signage. 1111 Lighting: The Lighting plan and photometric analysis show that the footcandle readings are within required limits, though the readings do not extend to the centerline of the adjacent streets (County Road I and Mounds View Drive.) Readings at the property lines adjoining these streets do not exceed 1.0 footcandles. The light plans do not indicate that any building lighting will be used--staff will verify that this is the case and will address changes if any at your meeting. General Site Plan Issues The site plan indicates a sidewalk in front of the building and along the west side of the parking lot. This sidewalk connects to the sidewalk on County Road Drive, but does not connect to anything on Mounds View Drive. One of the issues discussed during the CUP process and rezoning was that a sidewalk should be installed along Mounds View Drive. The site plan will need to be revised to show a seven-foot wide sidewalk in this area, however before construction can occur, the applicant will need to notify the utility companies. The site plan shows the proposed location for the dumpster area--noted only as"trash". The plans will need to be revised to show the construction details of the enclosure. The building elevations will also need to be revised to show dimensions--specifically the building heights. The scale as shown in the elevations is not accurate and will need to be corrected. •
