CVS Report May 24, 2004 Page 3 the number of reduced spaces cannot exceed 15% of the required amount. In this case, 15% of the required amount is 16 stalls. The site would only require an additional 13 proof of parking stalls, however, the site plan shows 16 stalls, for a total of 109 combined actual and potential parking stalls. Proof of parking is shown in three separate areas on the site plan. Seven proof of parking stalls are shown as an extension of the parking on the northeast side of the building, seven proof of parking stalls are shown near the pond and two proof of parking stalls are shown near the entrance from Silver Lake Road. The Fire Marshal reviewed the site plans and is requiring that the area on the southwest side of the building and the curbing on the south property line be designated a fire lane and that the area be marked as a “No Parking” area. The Planning Commission and developer agree that the area to the east of the drive-up will be designated as a one-way and the traffic will only move from west to east. Drainage: The site would be serviced by a series of catch basins that drain into an on-site infiltration pond. There would be a culvert in the infiltration pond that connects to a larger adjacent pond. In addition, there would be a catch basin located on the Pak Building property that would allow water to drain into the larger pond. The larger pond has been designed to handle two 100-year storms back to back. In other words, the pond is designed to handle twice the capacity that is typically required. The Public Works department and SEH, the City’s engineering consultant, are reviewing the grading and draining plans. Dan Cazanacli from SEH has stated that he has some concerns regarding the fact that the pond does not have an emergency outflow. Mr. Cazanacli has stated that he is waiting for additional information and Rice Creek Watershed’s comments before he gives a formal recommendation. The developer submitted the plans to Rice Creek Watershed on April 8, 2004. City approval will of course be contingent upon Rice Creek Watershed’s and the City engineer’s approval. Utilities: Sanitary sewer lines are present in the Silver Lake Road right of way and water is present in the County Road 10 and Silver Lake Road right of way. The proposed lot would be served by underground electric and phone, as required by the City’s subdivision regulations. The City’s Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans and verified that the existing hydrants on site are adequate for the proposed development. Building Exterior: The proposed CVS building has a building footprint of 13,013 square feet. The height of the building is 23 feet with the entryway height extended up to 29 feet. The materials used would be a combination of brick and EFIS (Exterior Finish Insulation System). EFIS has been used in other recent projects in Mounds View, including the LandCor retail and office buildings near the theater. The main entrance of the building is oriented toward the corner of the property and will be accentuated by a taller roof treatment and a slight archway. Along either side of the main entrance are nine windows. The slight arch is carried throughout the exterior of the building and adds nice detail to the EFIS material. Brick columns frame many of the arches and help to break up the façade of the building.
