City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for February 1, 2006http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2006/pm0201.htm Motion carried: 6-0 c.Planning File 3706: Jack & Jill Preschool request for conditional use permit at 1717 Lincoln Drive to allow a 12,000 sq. ft. commercial child care facility within the multi-tenant structure. Chair Traynor opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the proposed project based on the staff report dated February 1, 2006. City Planner Paschke explained that Saryday Partnership & Unlimited Potential In Education, Inc. (Jack & Jill Preschool)--seek multi-tenant building at 2701-2729 Lincoln Drive. The proposed Jack & Jill Preschool would occupy approximately 12,000 sq. ft. within the structure and include certain site improvements. Jack & Jill would lease the 6 tenant bays west of Scandinavian Design, utilizing suite 105 as the main entrance. Jack & Jill is similar to the Mini-Apple Montessori School located in a commercial area along Perimeter Drive. The Fire Marshal has reviewed the proposal and supports signing a portion of the fire lane adjacent the reserved/signed for families with young children. The proposal also calls for a playground at the rear (south) of the structure in what is currently a drive lane and parking lot. As proposed, the playground would be a minimum of 22 feet deep (north to south) and 108 feet in length (east to west), this use would eliminate the existing drive lane. The review by the Fire Marshal & City Planner to determine whether emergency and service access is available without utilizing the existing drive lane or parking field concluded that adequate access to the rear of the structure is provided by the property to the south. The The City Planner concluded that the mixed use retail/showroom, office and retail uses has no one specific on-site parking requirement. The staff assigned the highest requirement (office/retail @ 5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. leasable/retail sales area) to the remaining square footage (25,500 sq. ft. net) for a requirement of 128 spaces. When added to the requirement of a daycare center (26) the total required for the uses on the site is 154 spaces. The site currently includes 240 spaces; thus far exceeding the requirements of the Roseville City Code. The proposal to eliminate certain parking spaces along the south side of the building can be accommodated due to the excess or surplus of parking available on the site. All proposed modifications to the structure will be on the interior and require review and approval by the Building Inspector and Fire Marshall prior to the issuance of a tenant improvement (remodeling) permit. Aside from new signage, no exterior improvements to the structure are contemplated. There are no proposed increases in the parking lot or structure that would trigger a review/permit by the Watershed or Public Works Department. Mr. Paschke reviewed the criteria for issuance of a conditional use permit and explained that this project had little perceived impact. He reviewed: a.Impact on traffic (traffic patterns internal to the site will change) b.Impacts on parks, streets and other public facilities c.Compatibility of the site plan, internal circulation, landscaping and structure with contiguous properties (changes are compatible and minimal) d.Impact of the use on market value of contiguous properties e.Impact on the general public health, safety and welfare f. Based on the information and findings provided in Section 4 and 5 of this project report, the City Planner recommended approval of a conditional use permit for Jack & Jill Preschool to occupy up to 12,000 sq. ft. in Rosedale Square North, 2701-2729 Lincoln Drive, subject to the following conditions: a.The playground area must be screened to a minimum height of 4 feet. 5 of 94/3/2006 11:54 AM
