April 6, 2021 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 7 RE: Kwik Trip – Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review Lighting Lighting on site is provided by twelve 16-ftlight poles around the perimeter of the site and by king under-soffit or under-canopy fixtures.All lighting fixtures are downcast cutoff type. Total light levels shown on the photometric plan are less than 1/10 foot-candle at the edge of the site. Trash Enclosure The trash enclosure is on the west side of the building near the entrance to the car wash. It will be enclosed on the north side with the same red brick as the building and on the west side with tan gates, also matching the color of the building. Landscaping The landscape plan is generous and well designed, including a mix of overstory and ornamental trees, conifers and deciduous, and foundation plantings of shrubs, perennials,and grasses. Signage Signage consists of a pylon sign in the southeast corner of the site along Main Street, signage on outside edges of the gas pump canopies, and wall signage in the gables on three of the four sides of the building. Signage will be reviewed according to the City Code standards at the time of building permit review. RECOMMENDATIONS Conditional Use Permit I recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the Kwik Trip car wash as proposed. Suggested Findings of Fact for Approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the Car Wash: 1)A car wash produces noise and spray. It is reasonable and appropriate to ensure it is a reasonable distance from sensitive residential uses. The location of the proposed car wash is over 400 feet from existing and proposed residential uses in the vicinity. 2)The doors to the car wash open to show machinery and cars being washed. It is reasonable and appropriate to screen the view to the car wash from adjacent roadways. The landscape plan does an adequate job of screening the car wash. 3)Adequate stacking space for cars waiting to enter the car wash is important for the safe and convenient functioning of the Kwik Trip site. The site has space for at least eight cars to stack while waiting for the car wash, in excess the of the five stacking spaces required by City Code.
