� � � May 3, 1967 C,ASE: APPL�CANT: LOCATION: � •� . Target $tore�, I nc , 1515 West Caunty Road B ' < 1 North of County Road �, South of Applebaumb Supermarket ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Speciai Use Permit to insfiall gasoline pumps PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The sketch at the left indicates the location of th� proposed g�asQline despensiRg station to be constructed in the parking lot east of the main entrance on County Road B soufih a� the Applebaurrfi Food Market. The proposed station would take up the space normally occupied by 40 cars in the parking lot. A.ttached i; c statement from Tar�et Stpres , Inc o inciicating the nature of ti�e request. ,.;;;� 2. You will note that acc�rding to the figure s��mitted by the applicant that the parking space provided for the Target Stores and the ,�pplebcumb Su,perma�.icat ; are adeq� �te in relationship to the minimums r,,�quired in the ordinan�ce. Not�evith- Standing this, however, there is some questi on os to the adequacy ��r �'r7� parking serving the area. rhere is a generally known adverse parking v;�d cirr.ulation sifivation in the Target Store ar�as at sometimes during the sh�pping week. So as to v�rify the extent of this condition, we conducted a short survey of the area on Sa�urday morning Apri I 22. Counts were made at half-hour i.ntervuls in various portions of the parking lots affected. Th� sketch at the ieft indicates the parking areas by letter A through E. In addition we took counts on Commerce Street and t�e Uncle John's parking lot, which ❑Iso seems to get a considerab�e amount of Target Stor� pari�ing use. The results of the survey are shown on the attached table, �hoch indicates the number of cars that were parked in th� �various areas at th� time iradicated ;; on the left of the table. � 3. You wi I I note thah the num�bers oF cars parked in Area E(the proposed location of the gas station) do not nearly approach the capacity of the lot. rhis would apFear �o indicate that the loss of the 40 s�aces would not ha�e adverse effect. However, yov will recall fihat the weather nn Sa}urday was extremel� cold and generally adverse. Thus, we may not have surveyed a peak Farking day. We therefote propose to conduct additionaf counts on the next wee'<end, the results of which wil! be avai lable at the Planning Commission meeting. 4. The development designs have been su5mitted with the application and wauld appear to consist �f a well—designed min+maf service facility. There is, however, a�uestion a; to the effect that the gas siation would 'nave on turning movements and traffic patterns in the arec� ;r, generai. These factors wil( be more fully reported pe�ding our surveys d�ring the weekend prior to t!,e Plarning Commission meeting.
