TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Scott Harlicker, Senior Plann~ July 17, 2000 Request by Wash and Fill for Preliminary & Final Plat Approval and Conditional Use Permit, Public Hearing - Case No. P 00-8 and CU 00-12 Request Consider a request for preliminary and final plat for Elk River Crossing 2nd Addition and a conditional use permit for a convenience store/car wash and a quick lube facility. Locaffon The southeast corner of Highway 169 and Main Street Zoning / Land use PUD (Planned Unit Development) / HB (Highway Business) Attachments · Location map · Preliminary and final plats · Development plans · Development standards for Elk River Crossing PUD · Memo from the City Engineer · Resolution No. 00- Overview Preliminary and Final Plat The applicant is proposing to replat Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 1, Elk River Crossing into two new lots. The replat involves adjusting the line between the two lots. Lot 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-12 July 17, 2000 Page 2 1 will be 1.83 acres and Lot 2 will be .88 acres. Lot 2 will be slightly smaller, Lot 2 was 1.15 acres and is reduced in size by .27 acres to .88 acres. Lot 1 will be .07 acres larger. The total area being plated is 2.714 acres. Typically commercial lots are at least 1 acre in size. Since this is a PUD, the Council has some flexibility in approving lot size less than one acre. The right-of-way for Zane Street will be shifted to the west in order to accommodate design changes in the street layout. Both lots will share a common access from Zane Street. No lot will have direct access from either Highway 169 or 181st Street. The original plat for Elk River Crossing included a 50 foot wide UPA easement along the west property line that is not shown on this plat. The plat should be amended to show this easement. The City Engineer has reviewed the plat. His comments can found in the attached memo. Issues identified in his memo include changing the name of 3rd Street to 181st Avenue, including a 5 foot trail easement along the south side of 181st Avenue and vacating the existing easement along the lot line between the original lots 1 and 2 and along the old right-of-way for Zane Street. The easement vacation will be considered in a separate application to the City Council. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed preliminary and final plat. Conditional Use Permit Site Plan The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for a car wash/convenience store and a quick lube facility. The proposed convenience store is about 1700 square feet and includes 5 gas pump islands and a canopy. A portion of the proposed canopy over the pumps is located within the UPA easement. A flag pole is also proposed along the west property line within the UPA easement. A more suitable location for the flag pole may be up near the front of the building. The applicant will have to receive permission from UPA before installing the pole and include information on the height of the pole. The applicant will have to provide written permission from UPA regarding the encroachments into their easement before the city will sign off on the site plan as proposed. The car wash is fully automated and will be attached to the convenience store on the back or southeast side. The cars will stack up around the perimeter of the site, enter from the north end and exit from the south end. S:\PLAN NING\SCOT'I'~CU0012.DOC Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-12 July 17, 2000 Page 3 The quick lube facility will be located northeast of the convenience store/car wash near the intersection of 181st Street and Zane Avenue. The building will be about 2000 square feet in size and include 3 service bays. Parkinq and Access The site will be accessed from Zane Street via a shared driveway. The driveway will be shared between Lots 1 and 2 and will consist of one lane in and 2 lanes out. There is about 79 feet (stacking room for about 4 cars) from Zane Street to the driveway along the rear of the convenience store. During peak traffic times, congestion could be a problem once both lots are fully developed. The shared access between the convenience store and the quick lube should be revised. The shared access is too wide and confusing. Once into the site, traffic movement will be a "free for all". A median and directional signage should be provided. (see attached drawing) There are 9 parking spaces, including one handicapped space, provided at the front of the store and 3 spaces at the north end. There are also 10 spaces available at the pump islands. The parking requirement for a convenience store is 1 space for 200 square feet of floor area. For this store 8 spaces are required. Parking provided exceeds that which is required Stacking for the car wash will be around the perimeter of the site. There is the possibility of some internal circulation problems. The northern most gas pump is too close to the car wash stacking lane. A car parked at the north side of the island will not have room to pull out if cars are queued up to use the car wash. Some modifications should be made to the parking and stacking area on the north end of the car wash to better delineate traffic flow. (see attached drawing) There are 6 parking spaces proposed for the quick lube facility and stacking room for about 12 cars leading into the service bays. Parking and stacking room is adequate. A handicapped space should be provided. Building Elevations The exterior of the building will be rock face block with a 4' wide brick accent stripe. The blocks should be integrally colored. There will be a metal clad roof and fascia. The building will be shades of brown. The applicant will have colored renditions for the meeting. The entrance to the convenience store will be on the northwest elevation Details of the canopy have not been provided. However, the development standards for Elk River Crossing includes design criteria for canopies. The design criteria states that canopies located over pump islands are allowed provided the architectural design, colors and character of the canopy shall be S:\PLAN N ING\SCO'I-I~CU 0012. DOC Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-12 July 17, 2000 Page 4 consistent with the principle building on site. The fascia of the canopy shall not be illuminated. Canopy lighting shall consist of canister spot lights recessed into the canopy. No portion of the light source or fixture may extend below the bottom face of the canopy. The exterior material of the quick lube is proposed to be concrete block. The exterior material should be split faced rock to match the convenience store/car wash. No colors have been proposed. The color should match the colors used in the convenience store/car wash. Si.qna.qe The convenience store/car wash and the quick lube will each be allowed 2 wall signs consisting of individual letters. Awning signs and canopy signs, including canopies over gas pumps, shall be counted as wall signs. Awning and canopy signs shall not be illuminated. The sign area shall not exceed seven (7) percent of the area of the building wall, including doors and windows, to which the sign is to be affixed The freestanding sign must be a monument style with a maximum height of 10 feet and a maximum area of 100 square feet. The sign shall be constructed of brick or face brick and in may include decorative brick and/or decorative glazed block as accents. The sign is shown within the UPA easement. The applicant will have to provide written approval from UPA at the time of application for a sign permit. The freestanding development sign for Elk River Crossing will also be located on this site near the northwest corner. It is not included as part of this conditional use permit and will be subject to it's own sign permit. Landscaping As with most commercial development, and convenience stores in particular, there is minimal amount of green space. There is the 10 foot wide area around the perimeter of the lot that is available for landscaping. The applicant has proposed 9 street trees along 181st Avenue and 5 along Zane Street, 6 cherry trees and 3 white pines along Highway 169. There are also some bushes proposed along the Highway 169 frontage. Three honey locusts are proposed at both the southwest and northeast ends of the carwash. Landscaping along the rear of the car wash includes 3 white pines and some bushes. In order to provide some relief to the blank wall of the quick lube that faces Zane Street, some ornamental trees should be included between the building and Zane street. Three white pines and a honey locust are shown along the west property line within the UPA easement. The applicant should provide a letter from UPA approving the plantings. S:\PLANNING\SCO'I-r~cu0012.DOC Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-12 July 17, 2000 Page 5 Four light poles are proposed along 181st Avenue. Details regarding the pole should be provided. A lighting plan should also be provided. Four light poles along that property line seems excessive. Planning Commission Meeting! At the Planning Commission meeting held on June 27th no one spoke at the public hearing. The applicant presented pictures showing what the inside and outside of the building will look like. He also explained the pavement heating system that will be used to melt snow and keep water from freezing. The Planning Commission discussed building elevations and dumpster enclosures. There was also some discussion regarding the red roof proposed for the quick lube facility. In the end the Commission was ok with the appearance of the buildings and added a condition regarding the placement of the dumpster enclosure. They wanted the dumpster in a less prominent location near the center of the site. Recommendation The Planning Commission and staff recommend the Council approve the preliminary plat and final plat for Elk River Crossing 2nd Addition with the following conditions: 1. ALL COMMENTS OF THE CITY ENGINEER ARE ADDRESSED. 2. NO LOT WILL HAVE ACCESS FROM EITHER HIGHWAY 169 OR 181sT AVENUE.

The wall projection or recess should be a depth of approximately 3% of the length of the uninterrupted building length. Buildings should have architectural features and patterns that provide visual interest at a pedestrian scale. The features should be an integral part of the building · .~, fabric, and not be applied trim, graphics or paint. Variations to roof lines and cornice details should also be used to add interest to buildings. Exterior building materials and colors comprise a significant part of the visual impact of a building. Therefore, they should be aesthetically pleasing and compatible with materials and colors used in the Central Business District and along east Main Street. Facade colors should be subtle, neutral or earth tone colors. The development shall use a consistent palate of materials and colors throughout. Facades of a building which are visible from adjoining properties or public streets shall include certain design elements found on the front facades.

Howard FI, Green Oompany CON'SULTING ENGINEERS June 19, 2000 File: 809780J-0240 Mr. Scott Harlicker Senior Planner City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, Minnesota 55330 RE: WASH AND FILL OF MINNESOTA CITY OF ELK RIVER, MINNESOTA Dear Mr. Harlicker: We have reviewed the revised plans submitted for the Wash and Fill of Minnesota proposed development. As you are aware, the proposed development is in the northwest corner of Elk River Crossing, near the intersection of Main Street and Zane Avenue. The proposed development consists of a gas station/car wash/convenience store together with an oil change facility on a single lot. Based upon our review, we would offer the following comments: Site Plan 1. There are several locations on the site plan where we would suggest additional concrete curb and gutter to direct traffic through the site to the various users. These locations are as follows: · At the south side of the lube building, we would suggest that the concrete island be extended another 50 to 60 feet to the south to break up the large mass of bituminous area. Perhaps the parking shown at the south end of the lot could even be moved up and placed in this island. We question whether or not this lube building requires a handicap stall. This would be a good location to place the handicap stall. · On the north curb line of the site, between the lube building and the car wash, we would suggest that the curb be bubbled out to the south to direct traffic away from the queuing area for the car wash. · At the east side of the car wash entrance, we would suggest that the island be extended a little further to the north to protect the rear end of cars waiting to enter the car wash from vehicles driving through the site. · The three parking stalls shown at the north side of the car wash building should have the curb on both sides extended out to define an 18-foot deep parking stall. 2. The area between the car wash building and the area for waiting to enter the car wash is slightly short of the dimension needed for a parking stall and a travel lane. The parking stall should be 18 feet deep and the drive isle should be 24 feet for a total of 42 feet. This area scales 38 to 40 feet. Ltr-061500-Harticker.doc 1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 · 651/644--4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 Mr. Harticker June 19, 2000 Page 2 If a car is parked forward at the most northerly gas island and cars are queued up for the car wash, there will be no room for a vehicle to get between the two cars. There is a U.P.A. easement missing on the site plan along the west property line. The U.P.A. easement is 50 feet wide according to the plat of Elk River Crossing. The site plan shows lights, flagpole, vacuum islands, vending machine, and a Wash and Fill monument in, this U.P.A. easement. We first question whether or not the lights and flagpole will b'e tall enough to interfere with the overhead power lines. The plan should be reviewed by U.P.A. and a letter from U.P.A. allowing the installation of these items in their easement provided to the City. The driveway onto Zane Avenue measures approximately 40 feet wide. We assume that this will allow two lanes for exiting, one to the left and one to the right, and one lane entering the site. We would suggest that a small concrete island be constructed at the entrance to clearly define where the entering and exiting lanes line up. As you are aware, Zane Avenue was moved 15 feet to the west due to unsuitable native materials encountered during the construction. The lot line of the site has been adjusted to accommodate the westerly movement of Zane Avenue. Bo Preliminary Plat 1. The preliminary plat needs to be adjusted to show the dedication of the additional approximately 15 feet of right of way along Zane Avenue. The original plat of Elk River Crossing dedicated the Zane Avenue right of way for the original design. With the movement of the street 15 feet to the west, this plat should dedicate the additional right of way. 2. The plat should show limited access along all sides of the plat with the exception of where the 40-foot driveway is proposed to meet Zane Street. 3. The replatting has moved the original lot line between Lots 1 and 2. Therefore, the existing drainage and utility easements along the old lot line need to be vacated. There was a narrow trail easement provided with the original plat along the north property line of Lot 1. This should be shown on the plat of Elk River Crossing, Second Edition. Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan 1. A significant amount of fill was removed from this site as the Zane Avenue surcharge was built. We wonder whether or not the existing grades shown on the grading plan represent the grades currently there or grades that were there before the fill was removed for Zane Avenue. 2. We believe a small amount of additional silt fence should be extended al(Jng the west property line to approximately the intersection with the north property line. D. Utility Plan 1. The Fire Chief has asked for an additional hydrant off of the 6-inch water service shown for the lube building. Ltr-061500-Harlicker.doc Howard R, Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS Mr. Harlicker June 19, 2000 Page 3 There is no water service shown for Lot 2. The 8-inch water main shown coming into the site up to the hydrant at the west end of the entrance will be considered public. Similarly, the sanitary sewer from Zane Avenue to the manhole in the entrance drive will also be considered public. All of the remaining sewer and water will be considered private services. If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call. Sincerely, Howard R. Green Company ~,,,..~ - , Terry O. Maurer, P.E.

Based on our review., we would Offer the following comments: There is a Great River Energy easement along the west side of Lots 1 and 2. We would recommend that this easement be shown on the plat. There is a trail easement along the Main Street frontage of Lot 1. We would suggest that this easement be shown on the plat. The easement between Lots 1 and 2 needs to be wider. The utility plan shows public sanitary sewer constructed down the lot line and watermain constructed approximately 10 feet to the north. We believe that the total easement should be 30 feet with the additional 10 feet coming from Lot 1, Block 1. There needs to be an additional hydrant on the east side of the lube building. Additional easement needs to be provided to cover the installation of this hydrant. The proposed plat is a replatting of two lots from Elk River Crossing. The existing drainage and utility easements will need to be vacated prior to the record,ng of Elk River Crossing Second Addition. If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call. Sincerely, Howard R. Green Company Terry J. Maurer, P.E.
