Other Business 8 . Discussion Items 9. Adjournment Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 91005 Applicant: Investors Savings Bank Location: 5540 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Site and Building Plan Location/Use The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct a 9, 370 sq. ft. combination bank and office building on the site of the old Green Mill restaurant at 5540 Brooklyn Boulevard. The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north by 55th Avenue North, on the east by a private roadway and the old Midwest Federal bank across the road, on the south by Taco Bell, and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard. Financial institutions and offices are permitted uses in the C2 zoning district. The existing restaurant building is to be removed and a new building constructed on the site. Access/Parking Access to the site will be from the private access road to the east of the site. One driveway is proposed at approximately the same location as the existing northerly access to the site. At the southeast corner of the site, an exit drive, 13 ' wide, will open onto the private access road. The exit drive serves two covered drive-up lanes on the southwest side of the building and an uncovered lane which can serve as a drive-up lane. The parking requirement for financial institutions is the same as the retail formula of 5.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. This formula calls for 52 spaces for the entire building. The plan proposes exactly 52 stalls. This will be adequate to allow the other tenant space in the building to be either office or retail, tenant space in the building to be either office or retail, but is not sufficient to allow for a medical tenancy. An off-site parking lot across the private road from the site is not needed for the proposed use and will likely be developed separately in the future. Two handicapped stalls and a ramp are indicated in the front row of parking north of the building. Landscaping The site presently contains some trees, a portion of which will be saved, including three Ash trees along the northerly greenstrip adjacent to 55th Avenue North and three Crab trees along the southerly portion of the property adjacent to Taco Bell. In addition, the plan proposes a number of new trees, including 3 Imperial Locust in the parking area north of the building, 2 Schwedler Maple in the southwesterly portion of the site, 4 Radiant Crab scattered around the building and 4 Black Hills Spruce in the westerly greenstrip adjacent to Brooklyn Boulevard. A number of shrubs are proposed around the building and at the base of a proposed freestanding sign at the northwest corner of the property. The total point value of all existing and proposed landscaping is 2-28-91 1 Application No. 91005 continued 217 P oints. The site area is 1.08 acres and the landscape point requirement is 108 points. The proposed plan, therefore, exceeds landscape requirements. Grading/Drainage\Utilities Most runoff from the site in question is proposed to drain eastward over the two access drives to catch basins in the private access road to the east. There is also a small area west of the building which would be served by a catch basin connected to storm sewer in Brooklyn Boulevard. This drainage pattern is essentially the same as at present. Sanitary sewer would enter the building from the west where a manhole exists, connected to a sanitary sewer line flowing southwest adjacent to Brooklyn Boulevard. Water service would enter the building at the northeast corner from an existing service in 56th Avenue North. The service splits inside the property to a 2" domestic and a 4" fire line. Building The building floor plan calls for a vestibule and a lobby area in the center of the north side of the building. The lobby would provide access to both the 4, 000 sq. ft. bank on the west side of the building and to the 4, 300 sq. ft. tenant space on the east side of the building. A central corridor will separate the two tenant spaces and an emergency exit is proposed on the south side of the • building. The Building Official has indicated a need for some internal changes to meet exiting requirements. However, they should not affect the basic layout of the building. The exterior of the building is to be face brick with aluminum anodized windows bordered by a soldier course of brick on all sides of the building. A brick-faced canopy is also proposed over two drive-up lanes off the southwest side of the building (the building is actually five- sided) . Car stacking for the drive-up will be on the west side of the site. A bay window is proposed on the west side of the building. Rooftop screening is to be provided by a reflective glass screen. Lighting/Trash There are 11 existing light poles around the perimeter of the site which are to be retained. No additional freestanding lighting is proposed. A 6' high masonry trash enclosure with a cedar gate is proposed at the southwest corner of the site across the drive-up lanes from the building. Recommendation Altogether, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 2-28-91 2 Application No. 91005 continued 1.
