I have the following comments to offer as we prepare for a Planning Commission review of your project. I have tried to be as thorough as possible, but note that additional comments may be generated as review continues. If you would like to supplement your application,or make any changes to the plan,these should be provided no later than May 10, 2021. I intend to place this on the Planning Commissions agenda for May 17, 2021. • 1. Process. The City does not review conceptual conditional use permits or site plan proposals. We do have a process for a sketch plan,which allows for the review of a potential subdivision. This project will be processed as a sketch plan. Subdividing the property will involve a preliminary plat and a final plat. Given the nature of the project,and no apparent public improvements, I can support these two reviews occurring concurrently. The preliminary plat will require a public hearing. The building will require a conditional use permit. This will require a public hearing,also. The public hearings can occur at the same time, or separately. 2. Plat/subdivision. a. Please confirm that the new lot is at least 20,000 sq ft and has 100 feet of width at the Shoreline Drive. Also,we will need to confirm that the remaining parcel: b. Has no more than 20%structural coverage and 30%impervious surface area. c. Retains at least 15 foot side yard setback(to the east). 3. Hardcover. The city code limits the site to 30% coverage of pervious surfaces. The portion of the lower driveway that serves the commercial buildings to the west can be excluded from the hardcover limits. 4.Structural coverage. The city code limits structural coverage to 20%of the lot area. 5. Stormwater management. Confirmation of permit requirements from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed district will be necessary. It is expected that stormwater leaving the site cannot exceed predevelopment levels of rate, volume, and phosphorus. 6.Access. The County will need to approve access location. • a.A cross access and parking easement will be required over at least the shared drive aisles and parking spaces east of the existing liquor store. 7. Parking/loading. I appreciate the parking study completed and submitted. I do have some comments:
