He asked City Planner Brixius to review the site plan and CUP before the commission.
City Planner Brixius informed the commission of the background. On behalf of
Albertville Crossing 2003 L.L.C., Pope Associates is submitting a request for site and
building plan review of a single story multi-tenant retail building to be located on
Albertville Crossings Block 1, Lot 1, at the southeast comer ofCSAH 19 and 57th
Street.
Planner Brixius was approached by Gary Janish discussing the possibility of an oil
change facility to lease a space in the building.
Planner Brixius discussed with Mr. Janish that an oil change facility did not fit the
overall site plan.
The multi-tenant retail building is consistent with this district and the surrounding uses.

Circulation within the site appears satisfactory. Drive aisles are at 24 feet, compliant
with two lane traffic standards. The Zoning Ordinance, section 1300.9(a) requires all
commercial buildings to have at least one off-street loading berth. The applicant will
have to demonstrate how loading/unloading delivery trucks will occur within the site
without interfering with existing traffic circulation and park.
NAC office feels that the subject site provides an adequate, if not excess, amount of
parking for the proposed uses. ''No Parking" area should be striped and signed around
the proposed hydrant on the west side of the site, eliminating a few stalls. The parking
stalls to the north and south of the proposed monument sign should also be eliminated,
allowing for greater visibility of the sign as well as safer traffic maneuverability.
Building "D" is 9,617 square-foot building, providing retail space for five separate
retail uses. A majority of the building area will consist of brick facing. Colored rock
faced CMU will line the base of the building. Colored building elevations should be
provided, as they are not specified on plan.
.
The applicant has submitted a very thorough landscaping plan for the subject site. The
plan consists of20 2Y:z-inch caliber ornamental and/or shade trees lining the border of
the site as well as an abundance of different shrubs within the bump-outs, parking
delineators and around the signs and trash enclosure. NAC office believes that the
applicant has provided a landscape configuration that will create a very appealing
streetscape from CASH 19. The only modification to the plan is to shift the
northeastern most tree, a Patmore Ash located at the corner of La Center Avenue and
57th Street, approximately 5 feet to the south in order to meet the 30-foot sight triangle
requirement.
A photometric plan has been submitted showing single head shoebox styled on 30-foot
poled located around the perimeter of the parking lot and one double head shoebox
styled light on a 30-foot pole located at the center of the parking lot.
The signage consists of one monumental sign, an area identification sign of which was
approved for the overall Albertville Crossings site, and building frontage signs that
singly identify the uses within the building. The monument sign is to be 12 feet in
height, constructed of the same brick material as the proposed building and will consist
of the names of the five retail uses to be located within the proposed building.
The area designated for wall signage on both the east and west sides of the building, as
shown on the building elevation plans, exceed the allowable 15% building fayade
coverage and should be reduced to meet this requirement.
.
A trash enclosure is located to the east of the site. The enclosure will be shared by the
five tenants of the subject retail building.

Chair Klecker asked if there was anyone in the audience representing the Albertville
Crossings Second Addition.
Gary Janish was present. He wanted to clarify the signage for each tenant.
He also wanted to point out that there would be two clocks going on the building.
Chair Klecker had a question if the clocks will be lighted and a concern about the
parking lot lights.
Mr. Janish explained the lighting situation.
Council Liaison Berning commented that the signage is good advertising.
Commissioner Meierhofer asked about the setbacks and if there was any concern.
Planner Brixius said they are at their 10-foot setback.
There was a question about the overhead door - will it blend into the looks of the
building or will it stand out.
Mr. Janish shared with the commissioners that it will match the remaining exterior. It
will not look like an overhead door.
There were additional questions and comments about the overhead door. Could they
look at putting something else in instead of the overhead door?
Chair Klecker asked if there was anyone in the audience here for the Public Hearing.
There was no one present regarding this issue.
Chair Klecker closed the public hearing at 7:37 p.m.
