documents have been submitted and reviewed by staff in preparation of this report: a. Site and trash screening plan (08/14/00) b. Narrative (08/11/00) 3.6 Because of the hours of operation of the bingo hall (typically evenings) off-street parking space for current employee and patrons as well as that necessary for the bingo hall is sufficient. The charitable gaming operation propose to have a maximum seating capacity of 300 customers and a parking need of 120 to 150 spaces. There are over 220 off-street parking spaces at the Hamline Center and another 114 shared with the adjacent (north) office building. 3.7 The hours of use are proposed to be: Monday from 7:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.; Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Wednesday from 12:30 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Friday from 1 :30 p.m. to 12:45 a.m.; Saturday from 1 :30 p.m. to 12:45 a.m.; and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. The use of the space as a bingo hall past 10:00 p.m. triggers the heightened 24-hour use requirements. Specifically, parking lot screening from adjacent residential uses and parking lot lighting from adjacent residential uses are required. 3.8 Additional noise is not a significant problem. The bingo hall does not serve alcohol. Police records from previous license approvals indicate few disturbance or loitering calls at the current location (Knights of Columbus). 3.9 Rooftop mechanical units will be screened if necessary. In a preliminary review of the site it appears that only the north and west side of the units may need to be screened. The east side has the advantage of the extended facade and the south side property line lies too close to view the units. The developer will be required to meet MPCA noise standards with the newer units. 3.10 Trash will either be kept inside the bingo hall area or a roofed enclosure to be constructed. Section 1010.11D allows low volume generators (180 gallons or less and 2 recycling containers a week) to be located inside a principal building or behind a 100% opaque screened storage unit. Staff has indicated that the trash containers will need to be kept inside the bingo hall until the day of pick-up. Engelsma Limited Partnership is reviewing whether this option works. 3.11 The lighting plan proposes to replace all luminaries and some poles to conform to the City Code. Those poles within 100 and 300 feet of adjacent residential uses may need to be modified to meet the heightened 24-hour use requirements. 3.12 Screening will be required for the parking lot along Terrace Drive and for portions of the parking lot adjacent to Hamline A venue. Engelsma Limited Partnership has provided the City with a preliminary landscape plan, which the staff and developer will refine prior to building permit issuance. PF3251 RCA (100200) Page 4 of 7
