<br />d. The driveway should be expanded to 32 feet and appropriate access permits be <br />obtained rrom Ramsey County. <br />e. The sidewalk along the north portion of the property should be located one foot <br />north of the property line. <br />r The necessary right-of-way should be dedicated during platting. Review by the <br />County is necessary. <br />g. A landscape plan should be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Department. <br />h. The number of details concerning the drainage and utility plan need to be <br />addressed as outlined in the attached comments rrom the Engineering Department. <br /> <br />The proposed plat appears to meet all City subdivision ordinance requirements for a plat. <br />The necessary additional right-of-way required is shown on the plat as dedicated as <br />required. <br /> <br />4. Staff Recommendation <br /> <br />City staff recommends that the request for rezoning be denied. The proposed rezoning <br />would not be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The eastern portion of the <br />site is designated for low density residential use. The proposed use of the site would not <br />be consistent with that designation. The existing zoning on the site was meant to provide <br />a transition rrom a more intense B-3 use on the comer to a more limited business use next <br />to the adjacent residential on the east. The proposed rezoning to a more intensive use <br />would result in a car wash being located adjacent to the single family residential area <br />which would not provide a intended transition. The location of a two bay car wash <br />adjacent to the residential area could also result in adverse impact on the adjacent single <br />family neighborhood because of this. As outlined above, there are also a number of <br />unanswered questions concerning setbacks and design standards which have not been <br />addressed. <br /> <br />5. SU22ested Action <br /> <br />By motion, the Planning Commission should recommend denial of the rezoning, <br />conditional use permits, variances, and preliminary plat to the City Council as being <br />inconsistent with the City Comprehensive Plan and creating potential negative noise, <br />lighting, and visual impacts on adjacent and nearby residential properties. <br /> <br />Staff Report by: Rick Jopke <br /> <br />4 <br />
