Mounds View Planning Commission May 5, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 7 ________________________________________________________________________ Mr. LaValle stated they have agreed to the proposal. Tammy Abelseth, 7767 Groveland Road, inquired as to the definition of CVS. Planner Prososki indicated it was a pharmacy that is somewhat similar to a Walgreens. Planner Prososki noted that the setbacks for the CVS Pharmacy are adequate. She explained the setback requirements and the setbacks provided. The Velmeir Companies were granted a variance for parking setbacks so they will have a five-foot parking setback. The Fire Marshall requests that there be a fire lane designation on the plan, and the location was pointed out on the site plan. Commissioner Miller asked if the parking requirement was based on the square footage of the building. Planner Prososki, advised that was correct and the requirement was based on the retail square footage of the building. The site is required to have 106 stalls and the site plan indicates there will be 92 stalls and 16 proof of parking stalls. The Code allows the site plan to show 15% of the stalls as proof of parking. Planner Prososki explained the drainage patterns for the site and added that SEH, the City’s consulting engineering firm, still had questions on the grading plan. New information will be provided at the next meeting. Planner Prososki stated the building is approximately 13,013 square feet. The height of the building is 23 feet, while the entrance to the building is 29 feet in height. The building employs the use of Exterior Finish Insulation System (EIFS). Planner Prososki commented that she needs to recalculate the site’s impervious surface area due to recent changes, The City Forester commented the landscape plan is a very nice plan but it requires high maintenance. The City Forester commented that there may need to be some slight changes to the landscape plan. Planner Prososki reported that the garbage enclosure is shown on the plans as being chain link, but staff recommends that the enclosure be constructed of the same materials as the building. Planner Prososki indicated the lighting plan meets the Code requirements with the exception that the plan exceeds requirements towards the residential area. The apartments are actually approximately 175 feet away from the property line, and the Code is exceeded at the property line, therefore staff is not concerned about the lighting of the site. Planner Prososki added that the signs shown on the plans exceed Code requirements but final plans have not been submitted for signage.
