Final PUD and Plat of Subdivision

Applicant: Core Oswego, LLC
Project #1175.23
Project Manager: Valeria Tarka
Director Zenner stated the petitioner is requesting approval of a Final PUD and Plat of Subdivision to develop an oil change facility and retail building on Lot 2 of Orchard Plaza.
Director Zenner stated the 1.65-acre area is currently one lot and the petitioner is requesting to subdivide it into two lots, with Lot 1 being 31,121 square feet and Lot 2 being 40,736 square feet. Director Zenner stated the petitioner intends to construct a retail building for AutoZone on Lot 2, and an oil change facility for Valvoline, on Lot 1. Director Zenner stated each building will have their own dumpster enclosure on the west end of the lots, and a new sidewalk will be constructed to adjoin the existing sidewalk running along Orchard Road to the oil change facility. Director Zenner stated staff has requested that a pedestrian crossing be provided between the oil change facility and the building to ensure pedestrian connectivity.
Director Zenner stated the main vehicular entrance is on the northwestern corner off Station Drive, with a drive lane for the oil change facility and a drive aisle running east to the shared parking lot. Director Zenner stated the Petitioner is proposing to stub the drive aisle running on the northeast and southeast corner of the property to provide continuity between the users located between Orchard Road and Station Drive. Director Zenner stated a cross-access easement with the property to the north has been provided, and staff has requested that cross access also be provided with the property to the south.

Motion: Commissioner Sollinger, second Commissioner Kuhn to recommend approval of the Final PUD and Plat of Subdivision for Orchard Plaza Lot 2 for the
development of the site for an oil change facility and a retail building, subject to the following conditions:
