The subject property is zoned B-3, General Business. The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Coirunercial. The proposed use complies with both documents. • What will the improvements include? Landscaping The applicant will be adding landscaping on Blake Road and Second Street NE. Staff is concerned about the lack of landscaping on the interior of the parking area. Staff would recoinmend that a landscape island running east/west be added in the interior of the parking area. This can be done without losing parking by designating one row of parking for coinpact cars. The requirements for a compact parking stall are 8' x 16'. This would give four feet of space for an inland. The staff discussed this with the applicant and they do not want to construct the landscape island. Parking � The new parking area will be reconfigured and net an additional 46 stall for a total of 109 parking spaces. The parking spaces are 9' x 20' as required by the ordinance. Engineering/Public Works The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed iinproveinents and is requiring a storm septer and a stonn water inaintenance agreeinent.

Bituminous Path/Sidewalk There is an existing sidewalk along Blake Road. The sidewalk will remain. The sidewalk will Ue patched along Blake Road.

There is access to the site froin Blake Road, and fiom Second Street. An access point on Blake Road will be closed.
