L!BRARYa4 --_= AND I/ S U NMI ____ �2 O,F C2 i L!, I/ 'O ' Zft- 1� C2 i � 1 mmm� Y Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 86008 Applicant: Lombard Properties Location: Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive Request: Site and Building Plan The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct a 70,100 sq. ft. shopping center at the corner of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive (east leg). The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the northeast by Summit Drive, on the southeast by Earle Brown Drive, on the southwest by LaBelle's, and on the northwest by Target. The proposed retail center is a permitted use in the C2 zone. A site and building plan for a somewhat smaller center on this site was approved under Application No. 81052, but was not built. The site plan calls for an access off Earle Brown Drive and two off Summit. The westerly access off Summit serves as a truck access behind the building. The customer access off Summit appears to be offset more than 125" from the access to the Farm site on the opposite side. The access on Earle Brown Drive is 170' back from the intersection, but the plan dogs not show how it.r_elates to the Davanni's access across Earle Brown Drive. The truck access to the center is immediately adjacent to a similar access for Target. It is regrettable that no agreement could be reached between the parties to provide a joint access. The truck access opens into the LaBelle's site and an agreement has been reached with LaBelle's for cross access through their lot to Earle Brown Drive. Another opening to the LaBelle's site also is proposed in front of the building to allow customer traffic free access between sites without entering the public streets. The site plan provides for 349 parking stalls and 85 proof -of -parking stalls for a total of 434 total potential stalls, just enough to meet the ordinance parking re- quirement for this building. Virtually all of the proof -of -parking stalls would exist in an enlarged greenstrip (33' wide; 18' for stall depth plus 15' normal re- quirement) adjacent to both Earle Brown Drive and Summit Drive. All parking spaces are shown as properly delineated by concrete islands. The applicant is aware of discussions concerning a possible downward revision in the City's parking require- ment for retail uses. At this time, they have indicated that any surplus area would be used for ponding requirements, not for additional building space. The grading plan presently provides for most ponding in a corner of the parking lot adjacent to the street intersection. There are also smaller ponding areas desig- nated for roof runoff on the truck access behind the building. During a one year frequency storm (approximately 2" rainfall), there would be a one foot depth of water for about 40 minutes above the catch basin in the major ponding area. The drainage plan for this site must be reviewed and approved by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission for compliance with interim regulations pertaining to water attenuation and purification. That body will also consider the plans on March 13th and we expect some feedback on this project by the time of the Planning Commission meeting. The City Engineer has indicated that the skimming device pro- posed in this case will have to be modified to more permanently trap floatable debris. The landscape plan for the site calls for 21 shade trees, including 10 large (5" diameter) Skyline Honey Locust, 4 Red Oak, and 7 American Linden. Ten (10) decora- tive trees and 19 coniferous trees (all Green Spruce) are also indicated. The ten Honey Locust are all indicated in the sidewalk area in front of the building. 3-13-86 -1 Application No. 86008 continued Other trees are all shown in perimeter green areas; none in parking lot islands. Six Black Hills Spruce have been added at the north end of the greenstrip adjacent to Target to provide screening of the back of the center from Summit Drive. Five (5) shade trees have been indicated in that area as well on the Target side of the property line. The plan also calls for 117 shrubs (72 Isanti Dogwood and 30 Arcadia Juniper and others) and over 600 Red Geraniums in two major planters in front of the building. The proposed building would have a brick exterior and a canopy overhanging part of the front sidewalk similar to Brookdale Square (except better landscaped). The rear of the building is provided with five dumpster enclosures. A sidewalk is in- dicated between the Summit Drive right-of-way and the large sidewalk in front of the building. No site lighting has been indicated. The building plans, which have already been submitted, indicate 400 watt high pressure sodium (amber) luminaires on 30' high poles. Five single light standards and two doubles are shown around the perimeter of the parking lot. Finally, the name of the §hopping center is proposed as "Centerbrook Plaza". Staff have asked the applicant to propose a different name since Centerbrook is the name of the City's golf course. Altogether, the plans appear to be generally in order. Approval is 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, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits. 3. A 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. 4. Any outside trash disposal facilities and rooftop mechanical equip- ment shall be appropriately screened from view. 5. The building is to be equipped with an automatic fire extinguish- ing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City Ordinances. 6. An underground irrigation system shall be installed in all land- scaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. 7. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 8. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 9. An as -built utility survey of the property shall be submitted to the Engineering Department prior to release of the performance guarantee. 3-13-86 -2- Application No. 86008 continued 10. The grading, drainage and utility plan and the desion of the storm water skimmer shall be subject to review and approval by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission prior to the issuance ofpermits. 11. Fire hydrant locations shall be subject to review and approval by the Fire Marshal prior to the issuance of permits. 12. Plan approval acknowledges proof of parking for 85 additional parking stalls. The applicant shall acknowledge in writing that he shall install said stalls upon determination of the need by the City. Said acknowledgement shall be filed with the title to the property as a deed restriction. 3-13-86 -3- • MEMORANDUM TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager WI, • FROM: Ronald A. Warren, Director of Planning and Inspection DATE: May 23, 1986 SUBJECT: Modifications to Lombard Shopping Center (Planning Commission Application No. 86008) On March 24, 1986, the City Council approved Planning Commission Application No. 86008 which was a request by Lombard Properties for site and building plan approval to construct a 70,100 sq. ft. retail shopping center at the corner of Earle Brown Drive and Summit Drive (see attached location map). One of the conditions of that approval was that the applicant was to provide the City with a copy of the cross access and joint use agreements with LaBelle's prior to the issuance of building permits for the project. Lombard's site plan (copy attached) proposed a truck access onto the LaBelle's property in addition to an access that joined the LaBelle's and Lombard properties. Lombard had indicated to us that they had such an agreement with LaBelle's. However, no such agreement had ever been executed between the parties although Lombard apparently had a verbal agreement with a representative of Best Company (who owns LaBelle's) that was no longer employed. Needless to say, Lombard was not able to secure agreement and had to modify their site plan to accommodate trucks on their own property. Also attached is a copy of Lombard's modified plan for which we have issued building permits. They eliminated a thirty foot bay in the middle of the retail center so they are able to provide a thirty foot driveway for trucks around the south side of the retail center. They also added five and a half feet around the balance of the building to provide 69,620 sq. ft. of gross floor area as opposed to the 70,100 sq. ft. on the original plan. Truck access is from Summit Drive with trucks exiting on Earle Brown Drive. No connections between Lombard and LaBelle's are indicated. The parking requirement was reduced and they provide additional proof of parking on the north side of the building to meet parking requirements. The plan was in keeping with the original plan and, therefore, building permits were issued without resubmission of the plans to the Planning Commission and City Council. I have been informed that Target also does not have an agreement for a shared truck access with LaBelle's and will, in all likelihood, not be able to get one. Lombard has indicated that they would be willing to discuss with Target a possible shared access for trucks so maybe some arrangement can be worked out between the two companies to improve what will be a difficult situation for Target. The Planning Commission has been advised of the changes to the Lombard site plan. Please convey this memo and the attachments to the City Council to keep them apprised of the changes that have been made. If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me. lm dot - CIVI CIA Q _- r ENN. CO.
