PLANNING REPORT DATE: 13 November, 1991 CASE NUMBER: 2392 APPLICANT: Theodore Brausen B-Dale Amoco station LOCATION: 2180 N. Dale street ACTION REQUESTED: PUD General Concept Stage Approval PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. BACKGROUND Mr. Brausen owns and operates the Amoco service station at Dale Street and County Road B. The station shares the corner with another building on the adjacent lot to the north housing Carbone's Pizza and a sporting goods store. Both lots are zoned B-3. Mr. Brausen wants to renovate and expand the service station to include a canopy over the gas pumps, additional service bays, a car wash, and a remodelled gas station/deli/convenience store. To accomplish this he is purchasing the adjacent lot and proposes to remove a portion of the Carbone's building, remodel the remainder, and make other improvements on site. since the proposal involves a coordinated development of related uses in two buildings on two lots under one ownership, the request is for a Planned unit Development, General Concept Stage approval. The existing development on the site is old and, in some cases, deteriorating. There is no internal landscaping now on the site to speak of (only small boulevard green areas), and the parking is less than needed, and tight in spots. Being a gas station, almost the entire site is paved. The original proposal the applicants brought in kept the site paved over. Working with them over several weeks, we have developed a plan that allows them the quanti ty and type of development they need to operate a viable service station while providing additional landscaping, sufficient workable parking, and a reasonably attracti ve new development on this highly visible corner.
