. Planning n.,.,,;"'sion Meetin;J 3 7-01-92 ~E #92-06 (CONT'DI . 3. parkina: Some spaces were actually removed from the building area and relocated on the very west e::lge of the site - west of the restaurant access drive. Space on the east end of the restaurant site were questioned on the basis of the restaurant requirements. Response: Parking has been consolidated (12 spaces) just west of the existing building by the relocation of the west drive. Five spaces will remain on the east edge of the property. A handicap space and the 5 other nearest spaces will be reserved for customer parking . The Applicant irwestigated the restaurant parking and found that it seats 150; with 1 space for each 3 seats, 50 spaces are required and 72 are available. Amoco leases the 22 extra spaces on the east end. The Plan indicates 20 spaces on-site (one is used for a tenp::>rary remediation building) plus the 22 on the restaurant site. 4. Trash Enclosure: Was located in the front yard between the parking and County Road E. Response : Relocated to the east side, behind the 5 parking spaces . The enclosure will be finished the same as the principal building and will have doors to corrp1etely enclose the structure. 5. Scr'eenina on SE Corner: Concern was expressed regarding headlights shining into the adjoining doctor's office. Response: The reversed traffic pattern minimizes this problem, but, a 5-foot screen fence softened with landscaping, is also proposed to further separate the service station and its associated traffic from the quieter office use. The fence will . extend from the trash enclosure to the SE corner of the site. 6. Temporarv Remediation structure and Prapane Disoensina: These uses had been proposed over the last several months but were never officially brought forward for action. The city wanted to know the status of these and the :i1rq:lact on the site Plan. Response: The temporary Sll'all (10 x 20') building has been located in the southwest parking stall west of the main building. Atterrpts were made to locate it behind the building, but the location and elevation of the water collection trenches precluded that possibility. When it is removed, one more parking space will be available. Amoco does not allow propane dispensing at their stations. 7. Siqnaqe: The total signage area and the area of individual signs had not been determined at the t:iJne of the initial Planning Commission review in June. Signage added f= the car wash would have to be calculated. Response: Besides the normal b.1siness signs, service stations are allowed signs showing gasoline prices and car wash facilities with an area not to exceed 12 sq. ft. each. The area of these signs is to be included in the maximum permitted area. Business wall signs are limited to 10 percent of the building facade. staff's interpretation is that other directional or informational signs are not included in the prescr-ibed total b.1siness sign. As the lot is a corner lot, the sign area could be 10 percent of the . County Road E facade and 10 percent of the Hamline facade. The Planner reviewed the calculations of the wall mounted sign as outlined in his report of 7-01-92.
