ain te ho n illOa DATE = APPROVAL June 10, 1991 TO : Planning Commission Members FROM = Thomas D. Burt, City Manager ITEM : WALGREEN CONCEPT REVIEW The City has received plans from Semper Holding Inc., for a Walgreen's. to be located at the Coolidge/Kenzie Terrace/St. Anthony Boulevard triangle (see map). Section 15 Subdivision 2 Number 3b allows the developer to submit plans for a concept review of a proposed development. Since the proposed development conflicts with existing uses in the neighborhood, a concept review is appropriate to gather neighborhood input. The proposed drug store is a permitted use for this site which is zoned (C) Commercial. In review of their plan, there are six items that need to be addressed. RE-PLATING: The subject property includes four separate lots. To construct the building the developer must plat the four lots into one. This will eliminate the building being constructed over lot lines and the need for setback variances. OFF STREET LOADING: The plans submitted show an overhead delivery door located 35' form the north property line. Section 12 Subdivision 9 number 11a. calls for all loading berths to be 50 feet from a residential district. This will require the developer to move the loading doors 15 feet. PARKING LOT: Section 12 Subdivision 9 number 12b. There shall be a minimum of three hundred square feet of parking lot area excluding access lanes for each parking space to be designated. The City Attorney and I have interpreted this to mean, there shall be 300 square feet of open space for each parking stall in the areas that could potentially be used for parking, excluding access lanes and designated parking stalls. This requires the proposed development to have 11,400 square feet of open space. The concept plans submitted have 2,853 feet of open space. The proposed development is too dense for this location to meet this section of the ordinance. TRAFFIC: Residents in the immediate area have expressed concern on the possibility of increased traffic in the area caused by development of this site. The intersection of 27th Avenue and Coolidge which meet at Kenzie Terrace is and continues to be a problem intersection. Concern has been expressed that corrections of this intersection need to take place regardless of this development.
