impregnated rock face concrete block, which is consistent with the City's design standards. It would replace the existing building and canopy and create a landscape area in the front of the building along Lexington Avenue and County Road D. Trash storage is now proposed to be handled inside the building. Access to the site would occur at two locations, close to the south property line from Lexington Avenue and near the east property line ITom County Road D. These access points provide for maximum distance away from the intersection of the two County roads and is consistent with County traffic planIÙng. 37 parking spaces are provided on site meeting City code requirements. Concrete curb and gutter is proposed for the entire parking lot. Roseville standards say that a pylon sign must be setback 30 feet ITom the property line. However, a monument sign can reduce this setback by 1/2 the distance. The applicant is proposing a 60 sq. ft. monument sign, 8 feet in height, located 15 feet trom the property line. The wan signage proposed is in the form of awnings that are to be back lit. They are within allowable square footage requirements of the code. 3, ENGINEEJ3-ING CONSIDER¡\. TIONS: Engineering review indicates that sidewalks will be required along County Road D and Lexington Avenue. They also point out that the storm sewer system for the site cannot include sheet drainage off the site onto the County roads. As proposed, the drainage system includes catch basins in the parking lot directing surface water into the existing storm sewer system in Lexington Avenue. The County will also need additional right-of- way along Lexington Avenue. The new site plan incorporates the required 5 foot setback for parking along the south property line. To the east is a multi-family residential project with detached garages. These garages are right on the property line with no setbacks. The parking lot on the site currently extends to the property line, as wen, with guard rails protecting the back of the garages. In order to provide for the width of the overhead doors and to al10w for proper turning movements into the work bays, the applicant is proposing to keep the parking lot in the same area and is requesting a 5 foot setback variance for the parking along the east property line. 4. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS: As we indicated earlier, the light automotive repair use is acceptable in this location. The new facility will replace an existing eye sore and remove neighborhood concerns about the parking of abandoned vehicles on the site. With the exception of the parking setback along the east property line, the proposal meets the City's design standards. As a monument sign, the sign location now meets City setback requirements. Because this project will update and improve an existing vacant facility in the City ofRoseville, staff would recommend approval of the special use permit for light automotive repair. Given 6(a)-2
