The building will take up 18% of the site. Exit is through one overhead door at the rear (south side) of the building; vehicles would exit the building at the rear of the parking'lot. At the rear (northwest comer of the site) of the building is the loading door/dock 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 400 trips would be generated. SEH estimated that 35 to 40% (144 trips/day) of the traffic would use Oakcrest. Between 15 and 20 full or part time jobs will be created. 3.2 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 25.6% of the site will be landscaped, plus 9% of the site will be retained as pond area. 3.3 Parking will take up 42% 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 38 spaces, occurs along the south side of the building (38 spaces) and on the front - east side of the building (13 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 comer 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. PF#3027 - RPCA (06/10/98) - Page 2 of 7
