Staff suggests there be no deliveries or trash servicing before 7 am or after 6 pm. Lighting:. - The applicant should be asked about proposed parking lot lighting. Staff was unable to visit _ " the site at night to evaluate the existing lighting. A plan should be provided that would provide adequate lighting during business and non-business hours while not encroaching on the residential neighbors. . Signs: The applicant should be asked about proposed signage, including any awnings that might be added to the building. A plan should be provided. Parking lot screening: To the south there is 10 feet between the edge of the parking lot and the property. The adjacent townhouses have a privacy fence for most of the length of the common lot line. � There are also a number of large trees on the townhouse property. Because they shade the y ' setback area it would be difficult to add screening trees in the setback area. The privacy fence should be extended to the right of way of Kelly Avenue to block headlights and discourage trespassing. The parking lot screening should be reviewed if the townhouse fence is removed or if significant trees on townhouse property are removed. Property maintenance: The City Attorney indicates it would be appropriate to required property maintenance on the portion of the property to be used by the bowling alley as a condition of the conditional use permit: Items Staff found that needed attention are: � 1. A band of wood siding on the rear wall needs repair. 2. Holes in the parking lot pavement should be patched. 3. Weeds growing within the parking lot and around the power pole should be controlled. � 4. Parking spaces should be striped and wheel stops provided where required. Trash and recycling.• - Trash and recycling containers are proposed to be kept in garage area. Interior modifications may be required to this area to satisfy building and fire codes. Parking spaces: The required number of parking spaces is unclear as there appears to be a provision setting the required number of spaces for buildings built before 1967 as the number that existed in 1967. This will require further research. If the current code applies, the maximum number of parking spaces required would be 133 (6 for each bowling lane and one space for every 150 square feet of main level). If the existing parking area were striped there would be 104 parking spaces. Storage areas, hallways, restrooms and similar areas of the main level of the building can be excluded from the parking requirement.
