subdivision. Use of this area by the applicant could cause future commercial development in R/venwick to install larger upstream detention areas. If this drainage plan were to be pursued, an agreement will be needed from the developers of Rivenwick for use of the detention capacity. The remaining drainage to the east would still need to comply with WMO requirements for detention. Finally, Staff is in receipt of a letter dated February 25, 1994, from the applicant in which he states the increase to the storm sewer is between 3% and 4%. To make any estimate of the percent of increase, one must first establish the quantity of runoff currently being diseh-arg~l. The applicant presents no information which establishes that number. In addition, Staff can only verify approximately one-half of the 18,000 feet sited to drain onto a "l~mdseape/detenfion" berm. Staff also disagrees strongly that a 4 foot strip of gravel is going to provide any detention for storm runoff much less eliminate the runoff completely as the applicant suggests. 13. 14. Building Desi_tm and Materials: City Code requires exterior walls to be of materials that are 100% other than metal, exclusive of doors and windows. The exterior view of these storage structures is a series of overhead doors supported by decorative masontry block columns consistent with the existing structures on Lots 1 and 2. City Code restricts buildtng heights to 35 feet; the maximum building height proposed on the structures is 11'4", Signed architectural drawings of the structures have not been submitted. The developer indicates that upon site plan approval, signed architectural drawings will be prodded at the time of building permit application. ~ On-site lighting appears to be arranged to adequately illuminate the parking and drive areas without emitting an excessive mount of lighting off the property. 15. ~.~lltllal~: The facility is proposed to be enclosed with a 6 foot high chain link fence topl~t with 3 strands of barbed wire to match what currently exists on Lots 1 and 2. The Planninl~ Commlssion will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 3, 1994, to consider your request for a conditional use permit and to review the proposed site plan. Enclosed for your information i~ a copy of the proposed findings of fact and conditional use permit relating to your request for a conditional use permit Of course, all of these matters hinge on a favorable outcome on the requ¢~ for a variance to the impervious surface area restriction.
