e -can of ayl Committee eetin2:
The petition was split into 2 parts. Part A is for the Bank and Retail/Drive -Thru building, which was forwarded by the
Special Studies Committee back to the Plan Commission with a favorable recommendation. Part B is for the corner Retail
Building, which was continued to the June 5 committee meeting for further review /discussion.
Re -can of comments from the April 17 Plan Commission public hearing meeting:
A. Dumpster locations should be looked at again.
B. Pedestrian access to the bank from 1166' Street needs to be better delineated. (This is now done)
C. Will the second story of the corner retail building have a separate access?
D. Concern with traffic flow on the site and around the site. (Also need to address delivery truck traffic flow and drive
thm traffic flow, too.)
E. Building design — need to address the issue of large areas of solid walls with no windows or detailing.
Staff's outstanding comments for the Petitioner:
1. City Engineering Dep't. Comments: We have met with the petitioner and/or representatives several times. We have
discussed access, right -of -way, drainage, and storm water quality. The plan to date has been consistent with City
standards and discussions that have taken place. The Department will support the locations of the proposed curb
cuts /access points. The Department is satisfied with the storm water management system concept that has been
presented. The Department will work with the petitioner on formalizing a commitment to dedicate the right -of -way
potentially necessary for the future roundabout at the intersection at such time as a more definitive plan is
developed. The Department has no issues with this item being approved by the Commission.
2. Suggestion for the retail/drive -thru building: it would be nice to add a shade tree or two near the potential outdoor
dining areas.
Recommendation:
The Dept of Community Services (DOCS) recommends that the Plan Commission votes to approve the Bank Building
and the Retail/Drive -thru building, with the condition that the petitioner works with the City Engineering Dept. on the
commitment associated with the pedestrian circulation variance — ( that the petitioner makes payment into a fund for
installation of an 8 -foot wide sidewalk along Range Line Road, or enters into an agreement with the City for payment of
8 -foot wide sidewalk installation within six months of streetscape installation on Range Line Rd.)
