The applicant participates in a subdivision of the portion of 2654 Kenzie that 24 encroaches into the alley and the City retains ownership of that remnant. 25 Staff comment: That subdivision would be incorporated into the Final Plan approval 26 conditions, which include the land transfer from City HRA to developer. 27 28 2. Access -related issues shall be subject to comment and recommendation by the City 29 Engineer as well as Hennepin County. 30 Staff comment: Hennepin County has indicated via email that the proposed driveway 31 location is appropriate. Final permitting will require County approval. 32 33 3. The proposed bank site plan is modified to increase drive -through lane stacking space. 34 Staff comment: The applicants had revised the Preliminary Plan submissions, on which this 35 application is based, to demonstrate stacking area suitable for the needs and purpose of the 36 site's circulation. 37 38 4. The applicants modify the landscaping plan for the bank location to retain a portion of 39 the existing evergreen plantings. 40 Staff comment: The final landscape plan shows replacement of the existing vegetation with 41 new landscaping, including 3 Black Hills Spruce in the northeasterly corner of the site. The 42 existing vegetation interferes with site plan development and grading, although the applicant 43 proposes to relocate the healthy specimens to the south side of the site adjacent to the alley. 44 Staff believes the final landscape plan is consistent with the intent and requirements of the 45 City's zoning regulations. 46
