The old ordinance read1tree/800square feet and was proposed to changeto 1 tree/1750square feet.The new proposal looks at apreferred species list with 1tree/1500square feet. This allows for a 20% open space requirement. John Olson explained thelandscape plan to show proposed planting in mature state, to show 80% coverage. The mature state will make sure we are not planting too many trees in an area so they are allowed to grow and stay healthy. Current ordinance does not give a lot of guidance to site plan developers.New proposed ordinance is longer but simplifies what we are looking for. New minimum tree size requirements.1 ½ inch diameter for deciduous tree and 6 feet height for coniferous/evergreen tree. Commercial and industrial areas to have at least 20% of the lot area a managed landscaped area. Fahey, what qualificationsfor landscape designer?

Applicant:Don Martinez, CenBank Site Plan Review for Proposed CenBank The applicant has submitted applications for a site plan reviewfor thedevelopment of a bank located at 1380 Montreal St SE, Hutchinson. Site Plan Review 1380 Montreal St SE Planning Commission –4-18-17 Page 2 GENERAL INFORMATION Existing Zoning:C-2Automotive Service Commercial District Property Location:1380 Montreal St SE Lot Size:.72acres Existing Land Use:Vacant Adjacent Land Use:Commercial Adjacent Zoning:C-2–Automotive ServiceCommercial District; C-4 Fringe Commercial District Comprehensive Land Use Plan:Commercial Applicable Regulations:Sections154.174 Site PlanAnalysis: The City Council deems it is necessary and appropriate to require site plan approval of developments in certain zoning districts to preserve and promote attractive, well-planned, stable urban conditions. The following is an overview of site plan considerations. Building: The proposed building is a3,669square foot one-story flat roof structurethat would be constructed primarily withbrick/stone veneer finish.The building is proposed to be one story tall.Refer to attached building elevations for the draft building elevation.It should also be noted that the building features a drive through on the eastside. The proposed building would meet all applicable setback requirements. Parking/Access/Circulation 18parking spaces are shown on the site plan. The proposed number of parking stalls satisfies the City parking requirement.The four parkingspaces on the west side of the lot near the ATM will be for staff parking. Staff believes parking will be adequate on site. The site has two curb cuts off of Montreal St. The southerly curb cut is a full access allowing both ingress and egress. The northerly curb cut is an egress point only for traffic using the drive-through or ATM.The southerly curb cutis 25feet wide and the northerly is 13 feet wide. Both of these appear to be acceptable. The circulation of the site is adequate. For customers going inside the bank would park in the front parking lot in front of the bank and enter and exit on the southerly access drive. Customers using the drive-through would go under the canopy and exit via the northerly drive aisle to Montreal St. Customers using the ATM would also exit using the northerly drive aisle. One issuerelated to circulationis fire truck/emergency vehicle access. Per fire code fire trucks require an adequate turnaround. Themaximum a fire truck is required to back out of a site is 150 feet. Because thissite would require more than 150 feet of backing up a turnaround or loop of some sort is required. Staff suggests Site Plan Review 1380 Montreal St SE Planning Commission –4-18-17 Page 3 the developerwork withthe owner of the Maurice’s building to the north and work out an easement agreement that would allow the firetrucks to drive out of theCenBank site though the Maurice’s parking lot. Staff would prefer of the area between the CenBank lot and the Maurice’s lot is paved or hard surfaced. Landscaping and Lighting: Staff has reviewed the landscaping plans and they appear adequate for this project.Per the Zoning Ordinance, lighting installed must be indirect and shall not produce glare on adjacent properties or public right of ways. Stormwater Management/Erosion Control: This site is accounted for within the Menards pond to the east of this site. The developer will be required to submit pre-development and post-development drainage coefficientsfor city records and review. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the site plan with the following conditions: 1.The proposed building and site improvements shall complywith the standards of the C-2district and the Zoning Ordinance, as well as all other City regulations. 2.The developer shall get approvalfrom theFire Chief on a plan for acceptable fire truck turnaround prior to a building permit being issued. 3.Exterior refuse collection area must be fully screened. 4.Moving or relocating utility services will be at the property owner’s expense. 5.Because the some of the easement areas are being proposed to be covered with hard-surfacing, if at any point in the future the parking lot needs to be opened up to repair buried utilities, the cost to repair the parking lot will be the responsibility of the building ownerand not the City of Hutchinson, Hutchinson Utilitiesor any other utility provider. 6.The property owner is response for mowing the right-of-way on Hwy 15 adjacent to their lot. 7.Positive drainage must be maintained on both the north and south property lines. 8.SAC/WAC charges will be due at the timebuilding permits are issued. 9.A parkland contribution fee will be collected with the building permit. 10.The City of Hutchinson must approve a traffic control plan prior to any construction activity impactingMontreal St. 11.The City of Hutchinson must be notified 7 days prior to any roadway or utility work that is going to be done within the City right of way. All roadway work must be fully completed to City standards within 10 calendar days of the original disturbance. If the work isn’t fully completed within 10 calendar days, the City reserves the right to have the work completed and invoice/assess the property owner for all associated costs.
