I; MEMORANDUM DATE: January 24, 1996 TO: Michael Mornson, City Manager FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant ITEM: Summary of issues re: Apache Redevelopment from the 1/23/96 Planning Commission Work Session 1. More Detail: The Planning Commissioners felt that OPUS and First Bank did not provide as much detail in this redevelopment proposal as they did in the original proposal presented in November, 1994. They especially want more information regarding the following: a. Parking. Has Cub Foods planned for their parking needs? Staff has determined that they more than meet the ordinance requirements. According to their site plan, they show 573 parking spaces. The ordinance requires that there be one space for every 300 sq.ft. of gross floor area. The proposed store will be 75,200 sq.ft. and is required to have at least 251 parking spaces. b. Ground Signs. The Commissioners found the proposal for ground signs submitted by OPUS not acceptable because the ground signs are too large. The ordinance states that ground signs cannot exceed a height of 8 feet, including the pedestal and any berming and having a surface area of up to 68 sq.ft. for two or more surface copy. The City Council also expressed a desire to keep the ground signs to 8 feet. The Commissioners also did not see landscaping plans for the signs included in the sign plan. Since that is a requirement of the sign ordinance for ground signs as well, they would like to see what they are proposing for landscaping. C. Ponding for Lot 7. They would like some discussion on this issue. I informed that their drainage proposal for Lot 7 could be found in the EAW that was recently submitted. d. Park & Ride. Commissioner Franzese asked what they were planning to do with the Park & Ride as many residents use that area.
