Both buildings will be single story and +/- 4,100 square feet or less. Parking, pedestrian access, landscaping, signage, public corner plaza and related site and building accessories/improvements are planned for the development. From the corner of Benson and 176th Street moving in the east direction; the bank will occupy the corner and the convenience store/gas station will be at the eastern edge of the development. The subject parcels have a zoning classification of CA. The zoning designation for the surrounding properties is as follows: to the North – Residential (R-14; to the South – Commercial Arterial (CA), to the East– Commercial Arterial (CA), and to the West – Commercial Arterial (CA). An existing auto repair shop at the corner of Benson and 176th Street, a large concrete slab and what appears to be a 2,000 square foot, 1-story, wood-framed “classroom” building will be demolished, in addition to another 3,900 square foot, 1-story, wood-framed building to the north of the “classroom” building. Additionally, an existing cell tower, service building and fence enclosure to the north of the development will be demolished. The convenience store/gas station will provide six gas pumps under a metal weather canopy and underground storage tanks. The canopy, pumps and storage tanks will be located to the rear (north) of the parcel and away from the 176th Street, to the south. The convenience store building will act as a visual barrier between 176th Street and the canopy. The parking for the convenience store will be shielded from 176th Street by the street-forward placement of the building. The parking for the bank will be shielded from Benson Drive S by the street-forward placement of the building. The convenience store and the bank will share one large, fully-enclosed and covered dumpster enclosure. Associated with the bank building, a drive through ATM lane is proposed to be located just north of the bank building at the northern edge of the corner lot at Benson and 176th Street. The ATM lane will be obscured from street view by a landscape buffer. An 8-foot wide planting strip is proposed at Benson Drive and 176th Street, with an adjacent 8- foot wide sidewalk. A 1,000 square-foot plaza with associated amenities is proposed at the Gateway Intersection of Benson Drive and 176th Street SE.
