After the discussion, the Committee forwarded the site plan
review to the full Commission for final action.
H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant submitted a revised site plan to staff noting
most of the concerns raised by staff and the Subdivision
Committee. The days and hours of operation are proposed to
be from 8:30 am to 5:30 Monday through Thursday and 8:30 to
4:00 pm on Friday. The applicant estimates there will be
15 employees per phase. The building heights will be no
more than 30-feet which has been indicated on the site
plan.
The applicant has indicated the Phasing Plan for the
buildings and the parking. In Phase I, the applicant
proposes to construct a 5860 square foot building along
with 37 parking spaces. The minimum parking spaces
required for this phase would be 15 parking spaces. The
second phase will also include a 5860 square foot building,
with the addition of 16 parking spaces. The total number
of parking spaces required for this phase is 15 spaces.
This would bring the total number of parking spaces to 53
with the minimum number of parking spaces required for the
project to be 30 spaces. A three-way stop will control the
traffic within the parking lot and allow motorist entering
the site from Aldersgate Road the right-of-way. Staff
supports this arrangement since the site is expected to be
a low traffic generator.
There is a single ground -mounted sign proposed for the
site. The sign will be located near the driveway entrance
and is proposed to be a 4-foot high by 5-foot wide sign.
Otherwise, to staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding
issues associated with this Subdivision Site Plan Review.
The proposed site plan request for Lot 12B Baptist Health
Kanis South Addition should have no adverse impact on the
general area.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the site plan subject to the
following conditions:
