-160- Concrete Masonry Unlimited Page 2 of 3 March 29, 2002 Screening: The site plan indicates a 3,575 square foot outside storage area for poured wall panels and concrete blankets. The outside storage area is proposed to be screened by a chain-link fence with PVC privacy slats. Staff is recommending a wood fence be constructed instead of a chain link with privacy slats, because vinyl slats deteriorate over time and the site is located next to a residential Planned Unit Development. The outside storage area will be paved with a bituminous surface. Architectural Standards: City Code restricts structure heights to 35 feet and exterior wall finishes must be brick, natural stone or pre-cast concrete, or fabricated panels of these materials. The. site plan proposes to construct a building approximately 26-feet in height, which complies with City, Code. The exterior building materials are proposed to consist of integrally color treated rockface concrete block. The gable ends above the concrete block wails are proposed to consist of vinyl Dutch LAP siding and the roof will consist of asphalt shingles. The proposed vinyl Dutch LAP siding is a deviation from the B-1 Business exterior finish standards and will require City Council approval. Waste Storage: The waste storage area will be enclosed by a concrete wall and a cedar gate. Off-Street Parking - Design: City Code requires all driveways, off-street parking areas, and maneuvering areas and display areas to be paved with concrete or bituminous and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. The site plan identifies parking areas and maneuvering areas to be paved with bituminous and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing in accordance with City Code. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one (1) parking space for every 200 square feet of office area. In this case there, is 1,364 square feet of office space requiring seven (7) parking stalls. City Code also requires one (1) parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift. The plan indicates that a total of seventeen (17) employees would be working at one time. The site plan is proposing twenty-four (24) parking spaces which meets City Code requirements. Lighting: Wall pack lighting units are proposed. Shop drawings of the units must be submitted for review for conformance to the City's commercial lighting standards. Landscaping: The proposed landscaping plan is generally acceptable. It should be noted that areas absent of bituminous pavement will be required to establish ground cover that consists of either seed or sod. The applicant is requesting that the rear portion Of the property that will be utilized for a holding pond remain in it's current natural state.
