u L: J May 3, 1967 CASF: APPLICANT: LOCATION: � 380-67 Target Stores, I nc . 1515 West County Road B . ;�. North of County Road B, 5outh of Appiebaumb Supermarket ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of Special Use Permit to instal! gasoline pumps PLANNII�G CONS{DERATIONS: The sketch at the I eft i ndicates the locati on of t�he proposed gasoli r+e despensi ng station to 'oe constructed in the parking (ot east� nf the main entra�ce an County Road 8 south of the Appiebaurrb FoQd Market. The proposed station would take un the space normally occupied by 40 cors in the parking lot. Attached is a statement from Target �tores , Inc . i ndicati ng the nature �� thp request . 2. You wi II note that according to the figure s�bmitted by the applicant that the parking space provided for the Target �tores and the Applebaumh Su.permarket are adequate in relationship to the minimums required ir the ordinance. Notwith- standing this, however, there is some questi on as to the adequacy of the parking serving �he area. There is a generally krown adverse parking and circulation situatian in the Target Stare areas at sometimes during the shopping week. $o as fio verify the extent of thi� � c�ndition, we conducted a short survey of the area on Satvrday morning Apri I 22. Counts were m�de at half-hour i.ntervals in various portions of the parking lots affected. The sketch at the ieft indicates the parking �reas by letter A through E, In addition we took counts on Commerce $treei� a�d the Uncle John's parking lot, which also seems ta get a considerab�e amount of Target Store parking use. The results c�f the survey are shown on the attached tabl�� which indicates thP number of cars that were parked in the various areas at the time indicated on the left nf the table. 3. You will note tl�at the numbers of cars parked in Area E(the proposed location of the gas station) do not nearly approach the capacity ot the lot. This would appear to indicate that the loss of the 40 spaces would not have adverse effect. However, you will recall that ths weather� on Saturday was extremely cold c;,� generally adv�rse. Thus,. we may not have surveyed a peak parking �lay. We therefore propose to conducfi �additional counts on t�ie next weekend, the results of which will be available �t the Planning Commission meeting. 4. The devel�pment designs have been subrriitted with the application and would appear to consist of a well—designed minimal service facility. There is, however, a�uesrion as ta the effect that the gas station would have on turning movements and traffic patterns in the area in general . These factors wi I� be more fully reported pendi ng �ur surveys duri ng the weekend pri or to the Planni ng Commi ssi on m�eti ng.
