. . October 4, 1993 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 2 remarks in his memo dated October 1, 1993 stem from conversations with the City Manager. All of the conditions deal with the portion of the roadway right-of-way that lies within the boundaries of University City only. This recommendation is subject, of course, to the enactment of the zoning text amendments that authorize such conditional uses. The Plan Commission should be advised that the County has agreed to revise the pavement markings on Delmar to provide a left turn lane for west-bound Delmar traffic making a left turn into the access road. The City will work with the owner of the property on the east to have the first driveway east of the access road closed in order to minimize conflicting traffic movements. The City staff priorities favors road widening and keeping the sidewalk on the east over additional landscaping and other site amenities such as increased lighting and benches. Based on the testimony at the Public hearing and traffic studies conducted for Schnucks and for the City of University City, the staff recommends approval of the conditional use application for the access road from Delmar Boulevard serving the Schnucks Ladue Crossing Shopping Center subject to the following: 1. Provide and maintain a four foot wide concrete pedestrian walk on the east side of the road, raised at least 4 inches above the surface of the road. Pedestrian access to the walk shall be permitted from all properties that abut the east side of the roadway right-of-way. 2. The road pavement shall be widened to a minimum width of 22 feet and shall be constructed with vertical portland cement concrete curbs on both sides. 3. Existing evergreen trees shall be preserved and maintained, with the pedestrian walk and road pavement moved westward, except at Delmar, in order to preserve the trees. 4. Landscaping within the roadway right-of-way shall be consistent with the Planting Plan prepared by Austin Tao & Associates and dated 9-2-93. Mulch shall be installed and maintained in all planted areas and all other areas that are not paved shall be maintained as grass areas or planted with ground cover plants. The entire roadway right-of-way shall be maintained free of litter, weeds and volunteer growth. 5. Lighting shall be installed and maintained along the roadway with light standards spaced no more than 300 feet apart. Light sources shall be shielded to prevent lights from shining into the windows of adjacent dwellings. 6. In the event of a change in traffic conditions, including the incidence of accidents, or a change of land use in the immediate vicinity, the City reserves the right, after a hearing, to revise the conditions of the conditional use permit. 7. Left turns into Delmar by any type of vehicle shall be prohibited between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. and no trucks owned or leased by Schnucks Stores Inc. shall be permitted to make right turns into Delmar at any time. Appropriate signing shall be installed to advise drivers of the turning prohibitions. 8. The intersection of the west side of the road with Delmar shall be rebuilt in accordance with a permit issued by the St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic, with the road remaining as close to the east property line as possible. The curb radius on the east side of the road shall not be changed at this time, however if the curbs in this quadrant are being damaged by truck traffic the City reserves the right to require that this quadrant be redesigned and rebuilt. m-10-4.plc
