Page 5 of 11 adjoining public streets or 0.4 foot candles on adjoining residential properties. The proposed lighting and photometric plan comply with city requirements. C. Trash Enclosure – Meets Requirements A new trash enclosure is part of the parking lot improvements whereas today there is no enclosure and the trash containers are unscreened. The trash enclosure will be located on the east side of the new parking spaces. The NB District requires that trash be fully screened in a masonry enclosure or stored within the principal structure. The 24’ x 12’ enclosure will be constructed on three sides using concrete block with recycled vinyl boards for the gates. D. Bicycle Racks – Meets Requirements The Subject Property currently does not have any bike racks. This project includes the addition of two (2) bicycle racks for a total of four (4) bike spaces. The NB District encourages racks to be located in an area that is convenient to the main entry into the building. The proposed bike racks are shown on the site plan to be located adjacent to the east side of the building near the ADA parking and pedestrian area. E. Sidewalks – Legal Nonconforming and Flexibility Requested The Ramsey County led roadway project is scheduled to provide a short public trail segment at the roundabout with a connection to Lindey’s in the southwest area of their site. This work will be completed within the County’s right-of-way. The NB District requires sidewalks to be provided adjacent to all public right-of-ways. The Applicants’ narrative notes that the existing parking lot does not have any pedestrian sidewalks or connections adjacent to the site. The Applicants are seeking flexibility from the requirement in satisfaction of the roadway improvements that will include a trail connection. 3. General Requirements - Sections 1325.05 and 1325.06 A. Parking and Site Operations – Meets Requirements The Site Plan Review process is triggered due to the reorganization of parking, drives, and entrances. The proposed improvements will add 7,073 square feet of new pavement to the existing parking lot along the east side of the property. The Applicants are proposing to reclaim and restripe the 39,717 square feet of existing pavement area within the same footprint. The additional parking and changes to site circulation are primarily the result of the need to address truck circulation (i.e. semi-truck deliveries, trash haulers) and property demands. Site Plan Sheet C2.0 shows the truck turning movement plan. Under the new site plan, the Subject Property will have one driveway access off of Old Snelling Avenue and one driveway access of County Road E. The drive aisles internal on the site vary in width between 16 feet to 24 feet. The Public Works Director/City Engineer has reviewed the proposed site plan with regard to access locations, spacing, and sizing of driveway width. Per City Code, restaurant uses must provide one (1) parking space for every two (2) seats. Individual spaces as shown on the site plan comply with sizing requirements. The Applicants are proposing
