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. 3.4 A 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 manhole and a 15" storm pipe which flows east to Snelling Avenue. Silt fences will be used during construction to reduce erosion. A construction rock entry will be used along the Snelling frontage in order to reduce mud tracking and erosion from the entry. 3.5 Trash is proposed to be stored in an enclosed area at the northwest corner of the site, using the same materials as the building to a height of 7.4 feet. The HVAC (must be screened) and antennae locations are not found on the plans submitted. 3.6 City sanitary sewer will serve the site from the southwest, across the Knights of Columbus parking lot to Oakcrest. A private utility easement is required. The city water line to serve this site will enter the building from the east, along the Snelling frontage. 3.7 The landscape plan uses willow, shrub willow, spruce and existing vegetation to screen the west side of the building and the exit door from adjoining lots and shade tolerant large shrubs and 8 spruces along the north and northeast side of the building, adjacent to the park. Along the front of the building, the developer proposes a hedge of deciduous shrubs (ninebark), flowering crabs, and evergreens (Techny Arborvitae) to screen the parking from Snelling. New boulevard/street trees along Snelling are Red and Norway Maple. The parking lot has hackberry and flowering crab shade trees. Sod is used as the turf. Low maintenance mulches (rock) are specified. 4.0 STAFF COMMENT 4.1 The auto servicelinstallation use proposed requires a conditional use permit because of added safety issues, noise, traffic, repair/towing vehicles, and vehicles being parked for repair in or near a limited business area or a residential zone. The applicant must mitigate these impacts in order to be considered a compatible use. The added traffic of this type of subregional use will increase the use of the north bound Snelling Avenue left turn lane. 4.2 The applicant's landscape and building screening does meet the Roseville standard of 3D" minimum opaque screening with a combination of berming, plantings, and/or fencing.
