adjoining Knights of Columbus site to the south. The applicant withdrew the request. 2.J2 Specifics of the Proposal: 2.1) Embree Construction proposes to construct a split face/rock faced concrete block and stucco building with internal service bays for tire and accessory installations, accessed by one front-of-building (east side) overhead door. The building will take up 18% of the site. Exit is through one overhead door at the rear (west side) of the building which places vehicles at the rear of the parking lot. At the rear (northwest corner of the site) is the loading door for delivering the tires and other products. The applicant estimates one trip per week by a tractor trailer. An estimated 30 to 50 total trips per weekday peak hour will be generated by the use (Source:ITE Trip Generation and SEH 7/27/95 Report). A trip is either 1 entrance or 1 exit from the site. Over a 12 hour weekday, approximately 350 trips would be generated. SEH estimated that 15% (52 trips/day) of the traffic would use Oakcrest. Between 15 and 20 jobs will be created. 2.2) The existing vegetation includes 3 mature trees that will be removed. Trees and shrubs along the west property line will be retained. Trees along the east property line will be protected and saved if possible. The light poles and horseshoe pit will be removed. A landscape plan, illustrating that 22.5% of the site will be landscaped, plus 9% of the site will be retained as pond area. 2.3) Parking will take up 50% of the site. Existing pavement currently on the south side of site will be used for parking; new paving will be installed along the east side of the site. Parking, exceeding the code requirements of 45 spaces, occurs along the south side of the building (42 spaces) and on the front - east side of the building (15 spaces). New concrete curb and gutter (type B612) is used throughout the parking lot. Two planting islands have been created within the south side parking lot. Two access driveways are proposed: one entering the Snelling frontage road, and one at the southwest corner of the site which enters the Knights of Columbus parking lot. Staff assumes there will be a cross parking and access easement between the two properties. 2.4) A 5,255 sJ. surface water storm/storage pond is located along the west - rear property line. Water drains over the surface and through pipes to the pond. The water level in the pond will be approximately 3 feet in depth, but in a 100 year rain could temporarily hold 4.5 feet in depth. The water slowly moves to the north, emptying into a 2
