• <br /> a.The parking spaces the'head' into the building will need some sort of curbing to protect cars from bumping <br /> into the building. <br /> b.All spaces on both lots will need to be restriped according to the approved plan,including those in the lower <br /> level. <br /> c. The parking study suggests a need for 58 spaces, based on, among other uses, the 4,492 sq ft of storage <br /> garages and 7,000 sq ft for antique store. The antique= furniture store will need to be verify prior to formal review. <br /> However, I cannot support parking calculations that assumes a non-permissible use (garage). For our analysis I can <br /> apply the following use calculations and assumptions: <br /> Use Designation Ratio NFA* Computed <br /> spaces <br /> Auto parts Retail 1/150 2676 18 <br /> Liquor Retail 1/150 1567 10 <br /> Antique store Furniture 1/500 7027 14 <br /> Vacant Office 1/200 4492 22 <br /> (coffee shop) Restaurant 1/80 1764 22 <br /> *assumed based on study 86 <br /> Based on these uses,86 spaces are provided,and 84 spaces are provided. The lower level parking lot layout may yield <br /> better information as to the number of spaces available. Otherwise, a variance may be required, which your parking <br /> study and the mix of uses and peak times offers some argument for a variance. <br /> 8. Building design. The zoning code outlines minimum building standards for buildings in the B-1 zoning districts: • <br /> (1)All exterior wall finishes on any building shall be: <br /> a. Face brick; <br /> b. Natural stone; <br /> c.Specially designed precast concrete units if the surfaces have been integrally treated with an applied <br /> decorative material or texture; <br /> d. Factory fabricated and finished metal framed panel construction, if the panel materials are of any of <br /> those noted in subsections (g)(1)a—c of this section;or <br /> e. Other materials as may be approved by the council.Combinations of such materials shall be <br /> permitted. <br /> A building design is not required for a subdivision sketch plan, but will be required as part of the Conditional Use Permit. <br /> Lighting. As this project is adjacent to residential neighborhood, effort should be made to prevent light pollution into <br /> the neighborhood. This should include cut off shields for any parking lot lights, shrubbery for car headlights, etc. <br /> Photometric plans will be required. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 952.249.4626 or by email at jbarnhart@ci.orono.mn.us if you have any questions on <br /> the above requirements. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> C44-7 <br /> • <br /> Jeremy Barnhart,AICP <br /> Community Development Director <br />
