NTW will be open Monday through Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 8:00 am to 6:00 p.m. Based on comparable facilities NTW will employ 20 full and part time employees at this store. The building is constructed of 12" load bearing, painted, split faced CMU (concrete masonry union / blocks) to a height of approximately 23' -4". The ceiling height is approximately 18' - 0" leaving approximately five feet of wall height for screening of roof top mechanical equipment. The store front facing Snelling Avenue will have typical glass and aluminum store front entrance with an E.I.F.S. each side. The roof system is steel bar joist spanning up to 64' - 0" between the CMU walls, covered with a metal deck, rigid insulation and a bitumen roofing membrane. The dumpster area is a concrete pad of 10' - 0" x 13' - 4", enclosed with 8" CMU similar to the building, to a height of 7' - 4", painted to match the building, with a 9' - 4" pair of chain link fence gates, with black privacy slats. The dumpster area will be covered. All new and used tire storage is inside of the building. Storm water is sheet drained to a pond along the western property line this pond discharges into the existing storm sewer located immediately north of the site in Rosebrook Park. Rate control and treatment volume are achieved. Variance The proposed site plan requires a variance from the City's front setback requirements. City ordinance requires a 15 foot setback a public right-of-way. The site plan shows the new curb line is in essentially the same location as the existing curb line 8.15 feet from the right-of-way. This variance is necessary to minimize the impact on the existing tree line along the western property line. In response to the watersheds requirements for storm water rate and quality control we propose to construct a pond between our parking lot and the tree line. This pond is the minimum size needed to meet the watershed requirements. Without the variance it will be necessary to remove the trees. The applicant proposes to mitigate the encroachment by intensively landscaping the setback area.
