Kwik Trip – 159th Street Page 11 Site Plan The site plan is for the gas station and convenience store with an attached one-bay carwash. The access to the site is proposed from 159th Street. Building Setbacks The C-2 zoning district requires a 30-foot front, side, and rear yard setbacks. The site plan complies with the setback requirements. Building Height The C-2 zoning district has a maximum building height of 35 feet. The applicant is proposing the height of the convenience store to be 24 feet, the carwash to be 14 feet, and the fuel canopy to be 15.5 feet. These meet the building height requirements. Building Coverage and Lot Coverage The C-2 zoning district limits maximum lot area to be covered by a building to 35% and maximum lot area to be covered by impervious surface to 85%. The applicant is proposing a building coverage of 15% and a total impervious surface area coverage of 70%. The site plan complies with the coverage requirements. Streets and Access There are two access points located on 159th Street. The easterly access point is a full access with the driveway leading toward the fuel pumps and front entrance of the convenience store. The westerly access point is a right-in, right-out only access located behind the median of 159th Street. This second access location was recommended by staff to reduce the congestion of traffic attempting to turn left into the site with two full accesses close to each other. These access points are in sufficient locations. The westerly access point is intended to only allow for vehicles exiting the property to turn right onto 159th Street. The geometrics of the access point currently allow for a vehicle to turn into the site at this access point. The applicant will be required to update the plans to only allow for right turns out of this access point, and staff will continue to work with the applicant and review the geometrics of the proposed access. MnDOT has reviewed the access configuration and is comfortable with the additional traffic that will be utilizing the roundabout at Highway 61. A cross-access easement for future commercial development on Parcel 1 will need to be dedicated. Parking According to the Section 90-253 PARKING of the City Code, based on the use and the size of the building the total number of parking spaces required is 45. The applicant is proposing 58 parking spaces on the east, south, and west side of the convenience store building, which satisfies the
