However, a revised plan that includes some plantings along the northern parking lot and indicates the size of the Skyline Honey Locust should be submitted. Architectural Standards: City Code restricts building height to 65 feet and exterior wall finishes to natural or ?reihbricated brick or stone or pre-cast concrete panels or some other material approved by City Council. The exterior ibr both buildings will be Buant Redrock Exposed Agg-regate wall panels which meets the City's requirement. '-Fne building elevations shown on the plans indicate that the building's height to be 22 ~'eet, which meets City Code. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles, be stored within a completely screened structure or container. The submitted sire plan does not identify a waste storage area. Please indicate whether their will be outside ,/~asre storage. Off-Street Partdng - Spaces Required: Cir? Code requires one parking space per 1,000 square feet of floor space. Building A is req.uired to have 11 parking spaces and shows 21. It should be noted that 6 of these spots are located in ii'ont of the overhead doors in the rear of the building, that may not be able to be used as parking spaces on a 5all time basis. Since the parldng requirements for Building A are being met in ~he front parking lot, staff does not have a concern with the paring spaces located in front of the overhead doors. Building 13. ts required to have 17 and shows 22. Once again, it should be noted that 6 of these parking spaces are located in [¥ont of the overhead doors. Since only 16 parking spaces are shown in the front parking lot, Building B could potentially be short of one parking space if the overhead doors have active use. Ptea~e provide the Ci~ ir~tbrmation regarding the use oft he overhead doors in Building B. Partdng and Maneuvering Areas: The submitted site plan does not show detail about the parking lots or the central maneuvering area. It should be noted that both the parking ~'ots and maneuvering area will need to be of bituminous or concrete surface. All parMng areas are required to be delineated with B6-12 concrete curb and gutter. Please provide a revised sire plan showing these requirements. Lighting: The submittals propose five wall' mounted 400-watt high-pressure sodium lights on each building. City commercial [ighting standards require that the lumina/re (li~b.t source) must not be visible from beyond the property line. The City has received a lighting plan as part of the submittal and will be reviewing the inlbrmation to make sure that the lights will meet Ci~ Code. Drainage and Grading: Staf£has reviewed the ~ading, drainage, and erosion control plan and finds it generally acceptable subject to the ~bllowing comments: · Coordination with the street contractor for the Cie/project is required, for grading activi~ to occur. · it is the intent' of the ~ading to accommodate an urban curb and gutter section. This ~ading and/or fill will be your responsibili~. · AIl drainage ponds must be showing as drainage and mili~ easements on the final plat.
