Just to the northeast of the proposed new parking lot, the Snelling <br />Avenue bike path enters the frontage road. <br /> <br />2.4 In conjunction with the application for a conditional use, the following documents <br />(dated 5/11/98) have been submitted and reviewed by staff In preparation of this <br />report: <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />project narrative <br />existing conditions plan <br />site plan <br />grading/erosion control plan <br />utility plan <br />landscape plan <br />building elevations <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />2.5 The James Addition Task Force has recommended that this site not be used for <br />business uses primarily because of the noise and traffic impacts on the <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />3.0 SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL <br /> <br />3.1 National Tire proposes to construct a split face/rock faced concrete block and <br />stucco building with 9 intemal service bays for auto tire and accessory installations, <br />accessed by one front-of-building (east side) overhead door. The building will take <br />up 18% of the site. Exit is through one overhead door at the rear (south side) of the <br />building; vehicles would exit the building at the rear of the parking lot. At the rear <br />(northwest comer of the site) of the building is the loading door/dock for delivering <br />the tires and other products. The applicant estimates one trip per week by a tractor <br />trailer. An estimated 30 to 50 total trips per weekday peak hour will be generated <br />by the use (Source: ITE Trip Generation and SEH 7/27/95 Report). A trip is either <br />1 entrance or 1 exit from the site. Over a 12 hour weekday, approximately 400 trips <br />would be generated. SEH estimated that 35 to 40% (144 trips/day) of the traffic <br />would use Oakcrest. Between 15 and 20 full or part time jobs will be created. <br /> <br />3.2 The existing vegetation includes 3 mature trees that will be removed. Trees and <br />shrubs along the west property line will be retained. Trees along the east property <br />line will be protected and saved if possible. The light poles and horseshoe pit will <br />be removed. A landscape plan, illustrating that 25.6% of the site will be landscaped, <br />plus 9% of the site will be retained as pond area. <br /> <br />3.3 Parking will take up 42% of the site. Existing pavement currently on the south side <br />of site will be used for parking; new paving will be installed along the east side of <br />the site. Parking, exceeding the code requirements of 38 spaces, occurs along the <br />south side of the building (38 spaces) and on the front - east side of the building <br />(13 spaces). New concrete curb and gutter (type B612) is used throughout the <br />parking lot. Two planting islands have been created within the south side parking <br /> <br />PF3027 ~ RCA (06/22/98) - Page 2 of 8 <br />
