City Council Memorandum To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers From: Justin Fortney, Associate Planner Date: April 16, 2012 Item: Site Plan Review – Valley Chevrolet #2012-11 – 2929 Highway
316 City Council Action Requested: The City Council is asked review the proposed site plan. Background Information: The proposal includes the demolition and rebuilding of the showroom
and the addition of a service drive in and office. The new property owners intended to remodel the showroom, but found the footings lacking frost protection. Demolition and rebuilding
turned out to be more practical. The proposal will increase the size of the building by about 2,000 Sq Ft. The service drive in will allow customers to drive the vehicle into the building
without actually driving it into the service building. There will also be an office for the service manager and storage space. Landscaping Since the floor area will not be increased
by more than 25% a full landscaping plan is not required. Landscaping that is impacted must be replace. There is no existing landscaping in the affected area. The dumpsters must be located
in enclosures that effectively screen them from view. Building Materials The proposed materials meet the design standards. The design standards require that a minimum of 65% of the façade
be of class 1 or 2 materials with 25% being class 1. The proposal shows that glass (class 1) makes up about 50% of the façade. The remaining portion of the façade is EFIS and prefinished
ACM (aluminum composite material)( class 2) Parking The parking requirements are met. The required number of parking spaces is 43. There is almost quadruple that amount provided. One
space will be lost with the reconfiguration of parking around the showroom, which was due to the inclusion of handicapped parking. City of Hastings ! 101 Fourth Street East ! Hastings,

Vehicle circulation will be improved with the proposed layout. Previously, some parking spaces were angled off of a one way isle that required drivers to exit by driving through the
service department building or by backing up a one way drive isle. Financial Impact: The proposed improvements will increase the properties tax value. Advisory Commission Discussion:
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the site plan (6-0). No members of the public spoke at the meeting. Council Committee Discussion: None Attachments: ! Resolution
