Project Description: The proposal involves the demolition and removal of the two existing commercial structures and the construction of a new gas station/convenience store with a detached car wash. The new store will be approximately 2,800 square feet in size and the car wash facility approximately 1,800 square feet in size. The new store will not contain any automotive repair facility. The site plan is indicating 22 parking stalls, where 14 are required by code. A retention pond is designed in the southeastern area of the site to handle storm water runoff for the entire commercial site. Access to the site is proposed to be via two driveway accesses onto Lexington Avenue and one on Roselawn Avenue. Design Standards: The new buildings are proposed to be slab on grade, masonry construction with face brick and rock face masonry block to meet commercial building design standards and an asphalt shingle hip roof to help provide a residential character to the building. The retail building is designed with predominantly brick exterior and a rock face block accent banding. The car wash building, as proposed, is designed with predominantly rock face block exterior with complimentary block accent banding (it is recommended that the brick and block on the car wash and the support poles of the canopy be the same as the principle structure). The retail building design has a glass entry way fronting toward Roselawn A venue with a standing seam metal roof element over the entrance. The landscape plan emphasizes perimeter landscaping with a screen fence along the southerly and easterly property lines of the convenience store parcel. Landscape planting materials include a variety of tree and shrub species, including evergreen materials for year round interest. Platting/Subdivision: F our existing unplatted legal parcels are proposed to be replatted into two new lots identified as Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Kath Companies Addition on the proposed plat. Lot I consists of39,964 square feet or 0.917 acres and is proposed to be the gas station/convenience store site. Lot 2, consisting of 31,797 square feet or 0.730 acres, borders the single family residential neighborhood to the east. This parcel is not currently proposed for development, other than the ponding area proposed in the southern area of the lot which is designed to serve both parcels. Lot 2 is intended to serve as a transition/buffer parcel, between the gas station/convenience store site to the west and the residential neighborhood to the east. The northern portion of Lot 2 is currently zoned B-1 and the southern portion is currently zoned B-2. The area currently zoned B-2 is proposed to be down zoned to B-1. In connection with the platting, the applicant is proposing to dedicate 16.5 feet of additional right-of-way on the east side of Lexington Avenue, as requested by the City. It is consistent with the desired 99 foot right-of-way corridor for Lexington Avenue. 2
