Building Fasteners - Site Plan August 1, 2003 Rewxed.' .~,',rt 22, 2003 Page 2 of 3 trees that are being installed meet the minimum number of required trees and also fulfill the public road frontage planting requirements. The plantings along the north face of the proposed addition appear to mirror those that were planted in conjunction with the construction of the original buiiding with one exception. When the original building was constructed. Axnur Mar~les were a part of the landscaping. However, this species is now on the prohibited list and thus, will .not be replanted. The ornamental pla~tmgs will/nclude both Flowering Crabapple and Japanese Tree Lilac. Both of these species are acceptable. The site also includes a row of Colorado Blue Saruce along the southern prope~Wy line that will remain in tact. All tree species indicated in the species patetxe are considered acceptable and all meet the minimum size requiremen~is of City Code. City Code also requires four (4) shrubs per required oversror/*zee planted. However, when the spatial limitations of the site are taken into consideration, this may be too stringent. Ln an efort to remain consistent with the landscape design of the original building, Stai¥ would like to see a continuation of the Japanese Spreading Yew along the north face of the proposed addition. Fur'&ermore, there is room along the east face of the proposed addition to install sb.rubs as well. Staff feels that if these two areas are p/anted with shrubs at a reasonable spacing (3 or 4 feet on center), than this will be sufficient to satis~ the shrub requirements. The east side of the proposed addition will be in shade for a good portion of the day and thus, a shade tolerant species should be considered. A revised landscaping plan must be submitted that includes the extended shrub lines. Architectural Standards: Citw Cc;~[e restricts building height to 35 fee: and exterior wall £m.ishes to natural or prefabricated brick or srane or pre-cast concrete panelk or some other mmerial approved by City Council. The submitted building elevations appear to meet both requirements. ~T}~e supplied color elevation will be shown at the City Counci2 meeting. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and reflxse receptacles be stored within a completely screened structure or container. The revised site plan idenri~les e,-dsrmg waste storage areas on the interior of the building. Off-Street Parking - Design: In accordance with Citw- Code, ail driveways, off-street parl%ng and maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with concrete or bituminous and 5,nished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. All disturbed pavement shall be neatly saw- cut and patched with bituminous or concrctc. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Requiredi The revised site plan shows 34 new par?ring spaces and 7 spaces of proof-of-parking. City Code requires :, par~g spaces (1 space per 300 square feet of space and I space per 1000 square feet of indusmai space). It is stafff's opinion that 34 new parking spaces is sufficient to meet the parking needs of the new addition. . Lighting: A lighting plan h~ been received _*'or the project. ?~ease submit shop drawings of' proposed liff__~ting fixtures to dere~wnine compliance with Ci~, Code. -191-
