_ ITEM 7.9.
Vey+ MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Steven B. Ach, City Planne 1,5?'I
DATE: December 18, 1995
SUBJECT: Consider Revised Site Plan for
Building "E" in Elk Park Center
Consider whether the changes to the approved site plan for Building E are
significant enough to require additional review by the Planning Commission
and City Council.
Attachments
• Site Plan approved by the City Council on 6/19/95
Revised Site Plan
Background
Kraus -Anderson requested a conditional use permit to construct a 16,000
square foot multi -tenant retail store as part of Elk Park Center which was
approved by the City Council on June 19, 1995. Since that time, Kraus -
Anderson has requested some modifications to the site plan which are
different than the plan approved by the City Council. The primary changes
include the following:
• Eliminate the 20 foot service driveway on the south side of the building
• Shifting the building 10 feet toward the south (school property) property
line.
• Shift the building approximately 10 feet to the east (toward Freeport).
• Expand the landscaped area in front of the building between the sidewalk
and drive aisle.
The fire chief and building official have met with Kraus -Anderson to discuss
the revised site plan to make sure the changes can meet the building and fire
code requirements. Given some slight modifications to the size of the
13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425

sidewalk behind the building and the locating of a new fire hydrant, all of
the fire chiefs concerns have been satisfied.
The primary reason staff has brought this issue before the City Council is the
building setback requirement was originally approved at 40 feet from the
south property line. By shifting the building 10 feet toward this property
line, the building now encroaches in the 40 foot setback making the setback
30 feet. However, the shifting of the building has eliminated the driveway
which essentially removes any impact upon the adjacent property by a
distance of 30 feet. Staff does not believe that the revised plan as proposed
by Kraus -Anderson has any detrimental impacts on surrounding properties,
nor is it a drastic deviation from the overall intent of the planned unit
development.
Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council consider either:
• Approving the modified site plan; or,
• Require that this site plan go back to the Planning Commission on 1/23/96
and City Council on 2/20/96.
