Precise Metalcraft - Site Plan August 1, 2003 Page 3 of 4 Lighting: The submittals propose nine wall mounted 150-watt high-pressure sodium lights with downcast shields. City commercial lighting standards require that the luminaire (light source) must not be visible from beyond the property line. The applicant may wish to submit shop drawings of the lighting fixtures for review and approval. Drainage and Grading: Staff has reviewed the Fading, drainage, and erosion control plan prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates Inc., and offers the following comments. 1. City policy requires all traveled surfaces to be hard surfaces with bituminous or concrete, and have concrete curb and gutter. The plan proposes that concrete curb and gutter be extended ten to twenty feet beyond the front of the building. An eighty-foot long expansion area west of the building is propCsed wtfich would only receive a Class 5 surface. To be consistent with past practices in instances involving future expansion, staff would recommend 'that the concrete curbing should be extended to the western edge of the building, and that paved areas west of the building be hard surfaced with bituminous and be provided with bituminous curb and gutter. 2. The grading plan proposes placing silt fence and conducting grading south of the property line of the subject site. Written permission of the property owner will be required. 3. If the plan is revised to conform with item #1 above, additional elevations will be needed to determine whether the site can be properly drained. The Class 5 surface west of the building is too flat to be properly drained. 4. An analysis will be need to be submitted showing that the City sewer to which the storm waster is being discharged has adequate cap.acity. 5. The discharging storm sewer croskes the northeast corner of the lot to the south. A portion of the storm sewer route is not encumbered with a drainage and utility easement. 6. This project will require a permit from the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization. Access: The site proposes two accessed onto Radium Street. The separation between the north and south accesses is 110 feet. There is an e:dsting access onto Radium from the Peck Construction property on the east side of the street which is approximately 90 feet north of the northern access of the subject development. The access plan submitted is acceptable. Storm Water Management Fee: The City has enacted a Stormwater Management Fee and the current rate is Three Thousand Seven Hundred Forty One Dollars ($3,741.00) per industrial acre. TEe amount of Stormwater Management Fee due on the 1.3-acre parcel is Four Thousand Eight Sixty-Three Dollars ($4,863.00). A cash payment will be required prior to the City issuing a Building Permit. REU Number: An REU number for the project will be determined when a revised Grading and Drainage Plan is submitted. City Council Action: The City Council will not consider the site plan submittal until the issues raised in this letter are corrected, revised, and resubmitted to staff for their review. '87.
