Clerk /I Form No. 18. (over please) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No.: 93012 Applicant: Robert C. Ryan Location: 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Special Use Permit/Site and Building Plan Approval The applicant (Mr. Richard Haluptsok, Architect for Robert C. Ryan) is seeking site and building approval and a special use permit to construct a small addition to the Ryan Olds dealership at 6700 Brooklyn Boulevard. The property in question is zoned C2 and the sale of motor vehicles at retail is a special use in that zoning district. The subject site is located at the northeast quadrant of Brooklyn Boulevard and I-94. It is surrounded on the north by Brookdale Dodge (formerly Northstar Dodge) ; on the east by Victoria Townhouses and four single family residences facing Grimes Ave.; on the south by the off ramp leading from I-94 to Brooklyn Boulevard; and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard with Iten Chevrolet located across Brooklyn Boulevard from the site. The proposal calls for an 8' by 20' addition containing a main floor and mezzanine to the westerly portion of the existing service building and an approximate 30' by 48' addition to the easterly (or rear) portion of the existing service building. The purpose of the additions are to remodel, relocate and/or provide new customer waiting areas, rest room, cashier, employee lounge, locker room and rest room area as well as parts storage. No other alterations or changes are being proposed for this 6.47 acre site. Generally, the City takes the opportunity to assure compliance with current zoning and site requirements when additions are made to existing properties. The last major addition to Ryan Olds was in 1981 when they moved in a used car sales building and made an addition to the then existing new car sales building. Because this site is over five acres, review by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission and compliance with their development regulations is required. Ponding and/or control over the rate and water quality of run-off is a concern. The City is also looking at Brooklyn Boulevard enhancements and there is a high probability that Brooklyn Boulevard may be widened and median and access improvements may be made in the relatively near future which may affect this site as well. We are, therefore, reluctant to insist on additional site improvements at this time. ACCESS/PARKING Access to the site is unchanged and the additions do not generate a need for any additional parking. The addition to the rear is for parts storage. Expansion of the service bays would conflict with the zoning ordinance provisions that do not allow automotive repair to abut R1, R2 or R3 zoned property, at a property line. The Ryan Olds property does abut both Rl and R3 property along their east property line. That area currently contains an existing screen 10-14-93 -1- Application No. 93012 continued fence. It should be noted that the expansion to the front of the building still leaves minimum 24' wide driving lanes in this area. Also, no parking is eliminated or displaced by the additions. We are not aware of any on site parking deficiencies and, therefore, are recommending no alterations. GRADING/DRAINAGE/UTILITIES No changes are proposed to this site with respect to grading, drainage and utilities. The City Engineer is preparing written comments relating to this proposal. As mentioned previously, Watershed approval is required and compliance with Watershed regulations is expected. The nature of possibly changes in the area may be reason for not requiring major alterations at this time. The applicant and staff will need to pursue this with the Watershed Commission. Compliance with Watershed regulations is expected and we recommend that formal written acknowledgement of this be provided by the applicant prior to the issuance of building permits for this project. LANDSCAPING The applicant has submitted a plan showing existing landscaping on the site and how it meets with the City's landscape point system. This 6.24 acre site requires a total of 415 landscape points. The existing landscaping provides 421.5 points but 390 of those points are because of existing shade trees. Our point system does not allow more than 50% of the total number of points to be in shade trees (see copy of the landscape point system attached). The site is given credit for 242.5 points requiring an additional 172.5 points. In such a case we would normally require additional landscaping made up of coniferous trees, decorative trees and shrubs to meet the point deficit. The Commission may wish to waive this again in light of the Brooklyn Boulevard enhancement study. The area where we would most likely look for additional landscaping would be along the Brooklyn Boulevard greenstrip which may be affected by the Brooklyn Boulevard enhancement study. BUILDING The applicant has provided building elevations showing the addition. They propose to have the addition match the existing building materials. SPECIAL USE PERMIT STANDARDS A public hearing is scheduled for this special use permit and notices have been sent. Attached for the Commission's review is a copy of section 35-220 containing the five standards for special use permits. We do not find any conflicts with the standards for special use permits given the site plan and proposal submitted by the applicant. 10-14-93 -2- Application No. 93012 continued RECOMMENDATION All together we believe the plans and special use permit appear to be in order. Approval is, therefore, recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, draining and utility plans are subject to review by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. The site performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted prior to the issuance of permits. (Note this condition may be eliminated if no site improvements are required.) 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building addition is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. 6. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 7. The special use permit is granted to the applicant for the addition proposed by these plans. Any expansion or alteration of these plans shall require an additional amendment to this special use permit. 8. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations, any violation thereof could be grounds for revocation. 9. The applicant is subject to the requirements and regulations of the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission with respect to this site. The applicant shall agree, in writing, to comply with Watershed Management regulations prior to the issuance of permits for this project. 10. Additional landscaping shall not be required of the applicant, in lieu of the possibility of landscaping enhancements recommended by the Brooklyn Boulevard Enhancement Task Force. 10-14-93 -3-
