L � <br /> f � <br /> Request for Council Action continued <br /> Page 6 <br /> February 4, 1997 <br /> Zoning File #2199 Richard Bloomquist, Super Valu, 3333 Shoreline Drive - Commercial <br /> Site/Variances - Resolution <br /> Applicant has asked the City to consider the four diagonal parking stalis within the <br /> access lane to the loading berth at the west lot line along Kelly Avenue. The Engineer <br /> recommends that if the four stalls are approved that signs be installed limiting use to <br /> employee parking or "15 minute limit" to avoid conflicts with use of loading dock. <br /> Bloomquist notes that certain customers prefer parking in this area, finding it a more <br /> protected site. <br /> Note all drive lanes are at a minimum 24' width or greater. Review Exhibit I-1, the <br /> amended site plan has eliminated an automatic teller window with drive-up lane as <br /> requested by Planning Commission. The potential for traffic problems with adjacent <br /> parcel pick-up lanes were too great. <br /> Drainage/Site Improvements <br /> City staff and applicant met with the Watershed District to discuss improvement in relation to <br /> stormwater concerns. The Watershed District found the property to be too small to provide <br /> adequate maintenance and treatment area resulting from the intensification of structure on the <br /> property. Applicant has agreed to make payment of some $1,700 to contribute to a future <br /> storm sewer treatment pond. The Watershed District noted that the monies would be reserved <br /> for future stormwater improvements within the regional watershed. The City's code does not <br /> distinguish between structural or non-structural improvements in relation to stormwater <br /> requirements. The Engineer's report reconfirms that the additional hardcover will have a <br /> negligible impact on the stormwater pond approved and implemented in the 1991 variance <br /> review. <br /> A resident called to advise that the detention pond in south yard will flow out onto Kelly <br /> Avenue after a rain storm and remain for days: Staff has since been advised that the flooding <br /> results from a plugged up culvert under Kelly Avenue that carries drainage from west to <br /> detention pond on property. <br /> Landscaping <br /> For the public who view this property from the County road intersection, there is little to see <br /> in the way of green space or landscaping. The facts above suggest that there is adequate open <br /> space and green area to meet 12% green area requirements of code. Planning Commission has <br /> asked for tree plantings in the green azeas adjacent to the bank parking lot and along Kelly <br /> Avenue. In no case shall the type of plantings or the location of the plantings create any <br /> sighting problems at intersections of drives to property or along County roadway. <br />
