~ . " CITY OJ! ARDEN HILI8 mnmNDllM . DATE: october 20, 1993 TO: Dorothy A. Person, City JIrlm;ni..trator FRCM: Brian Fritsi.nger, Chrmrmity Planning Coordinator ~ SUBJEX:T: Packaging store update, case #93-21 Following the October 6 Planning Conunission meeting, staff met with Ron & Paul Sockness at the Packaging store. At this meeting, we discussed those issues of con=n identified by the Planning Ccmuni.ssion. Attached you will find a site plan of the proposed storage area. Detailed on this plan are several of the issues identified by the Planning Commission. You should note that the area is approxilnately 40' x 80' in size. This is larger than presented to the Planning Ccmuni.ssion as the scale was not a=ate at that time. The parking area will be delineated by a paint stripe. Individuals renting from this site will be instructed in writing that upon returning vehicles they be driven directly to this area. A buzzer will be provided at the rear entrance for customer access. The applicant has indicated a parking design/layout for the area. This is based on U-Hauls experience for demand on the various units. They . have indicated that depending on the type of units requested this may change somewhat. It is canunon for the trailer units to be parked two deep at other locations. The applicant is also proposing to have the employees park in this area and three spaces have been identified. The applicant indicated that he is considering some minor modifications to the entry area which would allow one additional vehicle to park in this area. The Planning Commission directed staff to work with the applicant on in=eased landscaping. In considering how to appropriately landscape this area, staff took into consideration a number of issues. 1.. Compliance of current site plan with landscaping re:jUirements . 2. Lack of visibility of area to the general public. 3. Type of landscaping required at properties located to the south. One of these uses, Goodyear, has a number of vehicles which are continually parked in an adjacent lot. In considering these issues, staff recognized a need for some additional landscaping . However, the location of this lot, in staff's opinion,. does not appear to necessitate a full blown screening. CUrrently, 3 ash trees are present along the berm which exists in this area. Staff would propose that four (4) six foot evergreens by planted along this area. These trees would provide some additional screening from the adjacent property. . BF/rk
