July 12, 1996 Page 8 #2154 John O’Sullivan. 2380 Shadvwood Road - Sketch Plan Review finalizing design details on the stormwater pond. The formal application must provide proper pond sizing and design parameters to meet City standards. Note that the site plans submitted show a conflict between the pond and the proposed auto teller functions, which will be resolved. (Sec site grading comments below). Height: Building height is limited to 30' as measured per code. Information as to defined height of the building has not been required for purposes of this conceptual review. 2.General Performance Standards - Parking: Bank and professional office uses require one parking space per each 200 s.f of floor area, retail uses require one space per each 150 s.f net area. As presented, the office/retail side of the building is 2 floors 9,750 s.f and the bank is 1 floor ,x 4,300 s.f, resulting in an estimated 23.800 gross square footage. For the sake of discussion, assuming 85% of this is definable as net floor eirea (i.e. not including hallways, utility space and storage areas), .85,x23,800 = 20.230/200 = 101.15, or potentially requiring in the range of 100-110 parking stalls. Only 68 stalls are provided on the plan. Although the restaunuit and bank parking lots are joined under the submitted plan, Orono Code Section 10.61 Subd. 6 disallows the use of 'double credit ’ for joint parking uses. The current plan would appear, absent more detailed information, to have inadequate parking for the size of buildings shown. Parking and access layout are being reviewed by the City Engineer and his preliminary comments are expected to be available for the July 15 meeting. Parking design is subject to the requirements of Section 10.61, Subd. 4 thru 10. Access locations arc subject to the approval of Hennepin County Public Works Dept. Hardcover : The northerly 1/3 of the parcel and the southwesterly side of the parcel are located within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka and are subject to a maximum of 35% hardcover per the Shoreland Ordinance. Absent formal hardcover calculations, it appears that both these areas are proposed to be significantly in excess of the hardcover standards. Is there any justification for the applicant to request hardcover variances? Signage: Shall be subject to the requirements of Section 10.61, Subd. 1 and 3. Staff will recommend that no front footage credit be given for the Olive Avenue frontage in calculating signage allowance. - Lighting: Fomial application submittal should include a lighting plan for the site. - Lot Coverage bv Structures: All properties in the City are subject to a 15% limit on lot coverage by structures. The site is approximately 75,000 s.f without the vacated Navarre Lane, 85,000 s.f with the vacation. Bank i
