NEW BUSINESS There was no new business. 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Albertville Crossings Second Addition Chair Klecker opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. 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. . CITY OF ALBERTVILLE Planning and Zoning Commission April 8, 2003 Minutes Page 2 of 4 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. . . . CITY OF ALBERTVILLE Planning and Zoning Commission April 8, 2003 Minutes Page 3 of 4 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. Leintz made a motion to approve the Albertville Crossings Second Addition Site Plan Review "Bldg D" and CUP with the nine recommendations of staff including the additional comments from the commission. Meierhofer seconded the motion. All voted aye. 5. OTHER BUSINESS Chair Klecker commented about re-scheduling the June 10 and November 11 Commission meetings.
