PLANNING REPORT DATE: 3 September 1985 CASE NUMBER: 1609 APPLICANT: Graham Investment, Inc. LOCATION: Southeasterly of the Intersection of Roselawn Avenue and Lexington Avenue (see sketch) ACTION REQUESTED: Rezoning of Land from R-1, B- 1 , and B-2 to - B-3, and Approval of Special Use Permit for Off -Sale Liquor Store PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: 1. The applicant, Mr. Robert Graham, has made arrangements to purchase the Cath property south and east of Ace's Service Station at the southeast corner of Roselawn and Lexington Avenue. He proposes to construct an off. -sale liquor store 70 feet by 130 feet equalling 9,100 square feet on the prope , uare feet. This is the property that was formerly proposed for Nolan's Supermarket, which was turned down by the City primarily because the proposed structure was too large for the limited.site (which at that time included the service station). The current proposal includes a structure relatively small for this site as evidenced by the fact that, though forty-six parking spaces are required to serve the proposed structure, fifty-three parking spaces are proposed in the plan. No variances are proposed or required for the projected development. 2. Perhaps the principal problem with the proposal, as noted by' the engineering staff, is that two driveways are proposed on Lexington Avenue and two driveways on Roselawn Avenue. They suggest that with the size of the structure as proposed and the known traffic conditions on both Lexington and Roselawn Avenue that a single driveway to each street would be adequate. The engineering staff will comment further on these conditions, suggesting which of the driveways may be considered for elimination. 3. Sixteen and one-half feet of right-of-way is proposed for dedication —as_ required on th-e_east side`of_ Langton Avenue and the setback for the parking areas are establi'sFied at 15 feet as required by ordinance.
