U-Do it Self Service Car Wash - Site Plan July !, 2003 1Kevised July 17, 2003 ' Page 3 of 4 ", Finally, the site plan shows that eight (8) Ootdfinger Potenfillas will be installed around the structure. However, there also appears to another eight (8) shrubs that are to be installed and these are not listed in the species palette. Both the species of shrub and size need to be indicated on the plan, All species included in the species palette are considered to be acceptable as outlined in the Ramsey Tree Book. Additionally, all species meet the minimum size requkements. Architectural Standards: City. Code restricts building height to 35 feet and exterior wall finishes to natural or prefabricated brick or stone or pre-cast concrete panels or some other material approved by City Council. The submitted building elevations appear to meet both requirements. A color elevation will be required to be shown at the City Council meerLng. Waste Storage: City' Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored '~,ithin a completely screened structure or container. The site plan identifies an enclosed waste storage area. Information shall be submined to indicate what materials will be used for the trash enclosure. Off-Street Parking - Design: In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off-sWeet parking and maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with concrete or bituminous and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. Several portions of the bituminous have been removed south and east of the existing building. Additional hard surfacing will be disturbed with the razing of the existing building and the construction of the new car wash. All disturbed pavement shall be neatly saw cut and Patched with bituminous or concrete. The remaining bituminous is in fair condition. Off-Street Parldng - S paces Required: City Code does not address specific parking requirements for self- service car washes. The submitted site.plan shows three parking spaces. It appears there is sufficient space to allow for cars waking for the wash as well as room for passing traffic. Lighting: Four standard mounted 250-watt lights are proposed on each of the four comers of the curbed pavement area. In addition, four 100-watt wall pack lights are proposed on both'~he north and' south building wails. A 150-watt wall pack unit is proposed on both the east 'and west building walls. Shop drawings have been submitted for review. The RCL 2250 MA Stonco standard fixture conforms to City Code for commercial lighting. The WT'2 Wallpack appears to meet City standards, since it is equipped with a cutoff glare shield, however, the drawings submitted do not identify the location of the lamp relative to the shield. City Code requires that the lamp not be visible from the boundary of the property. Drainage and Grading: The site is relatively fiat with paved surfaces ranging between 858.04 and 859.84. A site survey prepared by Hakanson Anderson shows drainage running off the site in a number of locations. A portion of the site drains onto 147a Ave. through the two access drives. Curb cuts in the northeast and southeast curbline allow drainage to flow into a sump area between the eastern curbline and Xkimo St. A removed portion 'of the curb in the northern section of the western curbline allows drainage to flow into the TH 47 ditchline. -438-
