CASE NUMBER: 1563-84 APPLICANT: Ashland Oil Page 2 Attached also is a series of six reduced drawings indicating the site plan, circulation system, elevations of the structure, a landscape plan, grading plan, and a floor plan of the remodeled building 4. The staff has worked extensively with representatives of the Superamerica organization resulting in the development of the site plan submitted. You will note on the first drawing (the Site Plan) that Ashland Oil Company proposes to dedicate an additional 10 feet on County Road B and 16 feet on Lexington Avenue. This is in accordance with City policy regarding dedication upon application for a Special Use Permit for redevelopment of the site. You will note on the drawing that the 10 foot dedication on County Road B is dimensioned as being 16 feet 6 inches. This is obviously a draftsman's error; it should be labeled 10 feet, 0 inches. The dedication along Lexington Avenue is indicated on the drawing as being 16 feet. This should, in fact, be 16 feet, 6 inches. The important point is that the applicant is willing to dedicate the appropriate right-of-way. 5. The site plan solution is designed to place the pump islands roughly parallel with the line of sight from the control station inside the store which will be located behind the angled portion of the building. THe key to the site plan solution is, in fact, in the removal and remodeling of the southwest corner of the building so as to achieve this angle of sight and accommodate adequate space for turning movements as illustrated in the second drawing. 6. The parking as proposed conforms with ordinance requirements. You will note, however, that on the Site Plan (first drawing) there is an alternate layout for the parking arrangement on the immediate west side of the building. We suggest that this alternate layout is simpler and will work better inasmuch as cars shown parking at an angle will not have to back into the circulation area around the pumps. This condition can be visualized on the second drawings which indicates the "proposed traffic flow1°. This results in a reduction of parking spaces by one but we suggest it will be a better solution. 7. The exterior of the building will be totally resurfaced utilizing stack bind brick panels with Aitec stucco panels around the top. 8. A landscape plan and grading plan have been submitted, as prepared by David Kirscht, a registered landscape architect. We suggest the landscaping proposed will be appropriate and add to the attractiveness of the site. Mr. Drown has reviewed the grading plan and finds it workable and acceptable. 9. The rear yard of the building is on the north side and as you will note the existing structure is approximately five feet from the north property line. The Ordinance requires this rear yard to be 20 feet, and thus a variance will be required to take the building out of the non -conforming class. 10 The request then is for approval of the special use permit for operation of a convenience store and service station in the B-3 Zone; and approval of the variance to the required rear yard setback.
