Snyders Report to the PC April 20, 2005 Page 2 Development Review Discussion: Chapter 1006 of the Mounds View City Code requires that any new commercial development project must obtain approval of a development review. The purpose of a development review is to allow the Planning Commission to evaluate proposed development in terms of its consistency with City Codes and other requirements and to ascertain and mitigate any potential impacts to the adjoining properties and the community as a whole. The Planning Commission makes a recommendation to the City Council, which then acts upon the request. Dimensional Requirements Building Setbacks Required Proposed: OK ? Front (Co. Rd. 10): 30 feet 60 feet Yes (Long Lake Rd): 30 feet 125 feet Yes (Bronson Dr): 30 feet 31 feet Yes Side (east) 10 feet 33 feet Yes Parking Lot Setbacks Front (Co. Rd. 10): 30 feet 5 feet No 1 (Long Lake Rd): 30 feet 5 feet No 1 (Bronson Dr): 30 feet 5 feet No 1 Side (east) 5 feet 0 feet No 1 Parking: The area of the proposed building is 5,975 square feet. Of that amount, 4,045 square feet would be devoted to general retail usage. The parking requirements for a general retail use is one space per every one hundred square feet of retail space plus one space per employee. Assuming there would be no more than six employees on any given shift, 41 spaces plus 6 spaces would be required, totaling 47 spaces. The site plan indicates that 48 stalls would be provided, one more than the minimum. The dimensions of the individual stalls, including the parallel stalls along the east property line, satisfy City Code requirements. The number of “accessible” stalls shown on the plan complies with ADA requirements. Access & Circulation: There are presently two access points to the site—one from County Road 10 and another from Bronson Drive. Both access points would remain with the proposed Snyders redevelopment in the same general location. The existing County Road 10 access drive is 30 feet wide at the property line and will remain that width. From this point, customers are directed toward the front of the building. If the customer intends only to use the pharmacy drive-through, vehicles would be directed to the right by internal directional signage. Internal circulation would function adequately and all drive aisles satisfy minimum requirements. Building Materials: The proposed 5,975 square foot building would be one story in height with approximately 4,045 square feet of internal public retail area. The exterior would be comprised of rock-face block and EIFS, a stucco like material used in other projects here in Mounds View. Colored renderings of the building will be unveiled at the meeting. 1 The applicant has submitted a variance request to allow for the setbacks as indicated.
