He stated the day care center lot dimensions would be 220' x 279'. which exceeds all ordinance requirements for the lot area. He recommended that the remainder of the lot should be consolidated with the east lot, since it will be only 70 ft. in width and below the minimum permitted by ordinance. The Planner noted that the mansard roof parapet treatment is not continuous across the rear of the building; recommends that the mansard roof be made continuous across the rear of the building. for the sake of appearance from the adjacent residences. He also advised that because the residences are at a higher elevation than the day care center, additional screening of the larger rooftop units may be required. . Miller explained the day. care center development proposes a single access point to Highway 96, centered on the east property line, and this driveway will also serve the future development to the east. He advised the driveway location had been reviewed by the City's traffic engineer and has been determined acceptable in terms of sight distances and separation from the Hamline/Highway 96 intersection.
