Zoning File ^1795 February 5, 1993 Page 3 of usage of parents in bringing children to daycare facility. It is not a question of driving in and letting children proceed into the building on their own. Parents accompany their child inside. They are required to park. The layouts presented by the City Engineer presented potential hazards where children would be required to walk in front of a moving car in the outside lane. Eight spaces are required. Thirteen are proposed. Signs ApplicaPit has asked for two signs not to exceed the allowed 12 s.f. Tlie sign adjacent to Highway 12 appears to meet the 5’ setback and will create no siting problems at the intersection. The sign located adjacent to County Road 6 is located within the right-of-way and must be relocated within the lot lines of the property meeting the required 5’ setback. Required Open Play Area Code requires fencing when play area is 15’ or more from street lot line. Play area is shown at 10’ and at a maximum of 3,400 s.f. (50 s.f. per student). Play area well exceeds the area for 55-60 smdents. Staff recommends that play area fencing be moved back in line with the front line of the building - approximately 16’ from lot line. Access Access will be relocated further to the east. The traffic entering in and out of property will be moved further away from tlie traffic intersection. Dave Zetterstrom of the Hennepin DOT has approved the eastern access and sees no problem with the County approving portions of the driveway located within the adjacent right-of-way. Once again he concurs with staff that no parking stalls should be permanently located within the right-of-way. If the County- permit requires removal of paved areas within the right-of-ways, that disturbed areas be restored to natural ground cover. Zetterstrom has noted tliat he has asked the County to review the speed limits established along County Road 6 in the area. He questions the recommended speed at a curve area shown at 50 mph. The entire area shall be re-evaluated for adjustments in speed level. Luiidscaplng I.andscaping has been shown along the south and east sides of the play area. The Planning Commission had not required additional landscaping within the developed portions of the property. The higher elevations to the east with existing vegetation provides a natural buffer to the residential property. The real issue for this review is that we have no confirmation as to tmal septic capabilities of property It is septic capacity that will limit the total number of smdent-teacher
