July 12,1996 Page 9 #2154 John O’Sullivan, 2380 Shadywood Road • Sketch Plan Review building footprint is 4,300 s.f.. Office building footprint is 9750 s.f. and the AutoTeller canopy footprint is approx. 3300 s.f. for a total lot coverage of 17,350 s.f. or 23% w/o vacation, 20% with vacation. Is there any justification for applicant to request a lot coverage variance? Site Grading/Filling: The topography of the site is rather severe, and might be more suitable for a rear walkout situation rather than the single level buildings depicted in the elevation views. Perhaps the one item of most concern to staff is the apparent need for an extensive retaining wall between the stormwater pond and the buildings. The site plan presented does not get into site gradingTilling needs, but it appears that much filling would be necessarv' at the center of the site to accomodate the proposed buildings. The formal commeercial site plan application submittals should include a detailed site grading/filling plan in addition to grading plans, and show details of all necessarv retaining walls. 3. Miscellaneous Legal Combination Required: Since the property currently exists as 4 separate tax parcels, legal combination will be required prior to issuance of any building permits. - 'Sinele Building' Status: Oror Code Section 10.03 Subd. 7 allows only one principal building on a property. Staffs initial reaction to the proposed plan was that it shows two distinct buildings. However, we are advised by the Building Official that from a Building Code standpoint the roof connection between the two buildings over the AutoTellers makes them a single building Absent this attachment, they would be considered as two principal buildings, would have to be on two separate lots, and would be subject to separate setback standards, etc. PUD Not An Alternative: An alternative not available to the developer at this time would be to develop the site as a PUD; this would potentially make development of the site a bit more flexible. However, the Zoning Code does not allow commercial PUD development e.xcept within the Highway 12 Corridor. Location of Proposed Sidewalk/Bike Path : a. Along Shadywood Road; The City has no plans at this time to extend the existing sidewalks northward along Shadywood into the residential area. The sidewalk currently ends at the north end of the site. b. Connection to Olive Avenue; The proposal includes a new bike & walking path along the north boundary of the property adjacent to
