ain ho DTE n �fla a pPROVAL : A : A June 17 1991 TO : Planning Commission FROM : Thomas D. Burt, City Manager =TEM : 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 of-the Code provides that 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 that the total parking area must equal 300 square feet times the number of parking spaces to be provided, and that in calculating the total area the access lanes are not to be included. The total parking area shown on the plan is approximately 16,440 square feet. Subtracting access lanes of approximately 8,662 square feet leaves 7,778 square feet of parking shown in the plan. With 38 spaces, the parking area exclusive of access lanes would have to be 11,400.square feet. 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.
