tapering do>vn to 0 ’ at the ends. A fence will be provided at the top for safety. <br />F idestrian trail will be located adjacent to rather than through the parking lot. <br />J. Building elevations will be redesigned to reduce the visual impact of roof. <br />4. A. Trash enclosure was rotated to face doors away from residential districts. <br />B. The revised site plan will continue to show two driveways from Shad>'wood <br />Road into the site. It is the opinion of the applicant that one driveway would <br />create site congestion between bank drive-through customers and people using <br />the parking lot for the other businesses on the .site. Also, it is the intent of the <br />applicant and the owner of Culver’s next door to provide a connection <br />between these adjacent parking lots. A second driveway would allow those <br />who wish to visit Culver's to avoid driving through the entire parking lot of <br />this site to get there. The distance from the nearer of the two driveways to the <br />intersection of Countv Road 15 and Shadvwood Road exceeds the minimum <br />distance required by Hennepin County. Furthermore, the county approved <br />these same two driveway locations for this site in a letter dated 18 November <br />1996. <br />C. One monument sign was deleted; the other monument sign and the pylon sign <br />were relocated 10 ’ from the front property line. Designs for all signage will <br />be included with the sign permit application which will be submitted at a <br />future date. <br />D. Not used. <br />E. Additional notes and site lighting cut sheets will be included with the revised <br />drawings. <br />F. Response to front yard parking issue is included in Items #3C and 3F above. <br />G. Deliveries will occur for the most part at the rear of the building. The 20 ’ <br />wide drive shown will be adequate for one parking lane and one driving lane <br />in the same direction. <br />H. No response required. <br />I. Due to the extensive regrading that must accompany development of this site, <br />no existing trees w ill be preserv ed. Landscape Plan will be revised per Item <br />#3F above. <br />Response to Variance Request Comments: <br />1 . The applicant ’s rationale for requesting the hardcover variance is threefold: <br />a. All stormwater runoff from this site will be captured by an on-site pond and <br />therefore not affect the w ater quality of the lakes that the hardcover ordinance <br />is meant to protect. <br />b. The unusual topography of this site is such that the most level and developable <br />portions happen to be within the hardcover zones. <br />c. Even with the hardcover variance, this site will contain a lower percentage of <br />hardcover than the most commercial sites in Navarre. <br />2. It is the opinion of the applicant that this site cannot be reasonably developed without <br />the variance reducing the front yard parking setback from 20 ’ to 5 ’. The current site <br />plan shows a 5 ’ parking setback and minimal widths for the parking lot, sidewalk, <br />building, and service drive, and will require a retaining wall at the pond which is 10 ’- <br />12 ’ at its highest point. Any additional front yard parking setback will translate
