Other stalls are 9 feet wide and 18 feet deep rather than 20 feet deep as required by code The development at Willow Drive and Wayzata Boulevard was allowed 18 foot deep stalls when they faced a curb. Theoretically the front end of the vehicle in one of these � spaces will be over the grass. Since there may be a similar parking lot on the property to the east Staff recommends the east parking aisle be shifted two feet west. Loading Berth/Delivery Dock � Per City Code, the building is required to have one loading dock. A loading dock must be a minimum of 12 feet wide and 25 feet long. The proposed dock (located in front of the dumpster enclosure) would not be 25 feet long. Any vehicle longer than a passenger sedan parked at the delivery dock would extend into the west access and conflict with vehicles entering tl�e site. This conflict must be eliminated. The applicant should provide information on the size of vehicles that would . be using the dock and demonstrate the proposed dock can accommodate them. The applicant should also determine if provision is needed for ,a semi-trailer fitted with . medical equipment that would be on-site on an intermittent basis. ' • Pedestrian Access Public sidewalk is proposed along Kelley Parkway, completing the sidewalk between Willow Drive and Old Crystal Bay Road. Eventually a public trail will run along Wayzata Boulevard. The trail currently runs along the east and north sides of.the pond. The development at the corner of Willow Drive and Wayzata Boulevard will extend the � trail east along Wayzata Boulevard to Willow Drive.'On the vacant site to the east the trail will run along the west side of the pond and Wayzata Boulevard. The trail will have�to be in an easement because there is not enough room for it within � the right of way. This will require adjustment ofgrades and landscaping in this area.The timing of its installation will need to be determined but it should be shown on the site plan. Within the site sidewalks will connect the main entrance with the Wayzata Boulevard right of way and with the sidewallc to the office building to the west. If the building code requires fire exits on the north or west sides of the building sidewalk will require from these exit to the sidewalk along Kelley Parkway or to the parking lot.
