Review Letter: RAJA?evelopment September 6, 2002 Page 3 of 4 Traffic Pattern: Staff has reviewed the turning radii for a 40 foot bus and has determined that such vehicles can access the pumps from either Sunfish Lake Blvd. (approach pumps from the east side) or US Highway #10 for at least the southerly three pump islands (approach pumps from the west side). A bus approaching these pumps from the opposite site would not be possible, or could be done only with difficulty. Off-Street Parking - Design: In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off-street parking and maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one (I) parking space for every 200 square feet of retail space. In this case, the number of parking spaces required, is 18; the siteplan complies with this requirement.. City Code requires one (1) parking space for each three seats of tfi~ fast food facility. The site plan is proposing a total of 45 seats, which equates to 15 parking stalls. The site plan complies with this requirement. It should be noted the adjacent property to the west, Sunfish Commons retail center, utilizes the subject property for overflow parking. Staff is concerned that the dense development proposal for the subject property will intensify the parking congestion. Lighting: All exterior commercial lighting must meet City standards, which require "cut-off" type fixtures. Shop drawings of all proposed exterior lighting should be submitted for review an approval. Drainage and Grading: A grading and drainage plan dated July 27, 2002 has been prepared by . Barry Morgan, which proposes four additional catchbasins being placed on the east and south perimeter of the site. These catchbasins will discharge to existing 18-inch storm sewer pipes which in turn drain to the detention pond located on the northwest comer of the adjacent property. This detention pond has been designed to handle runoff from the subject site. A permit must be obtained from the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization. Signage: The site plan includes elevations and specs for signage on the subject property. The City will review the proposed signage when a sign permit application has been submitted and the applicable fees have been paid. It should be noted, City Code allows one monument/ground sign per lot of record. Storm Water Management Fee: The City has enacted a Stormwater Management Fee and the current rate is $3,741.00 per commercial acre. The amount of Stormwater Management Fee due on the 1.64-acre parcel is $6,135.00. A cash payment will be required prior to the City issuing a Building Permit. REU Number: The Residential Equivalent Unit (REU) will determine the amount this development will pay to the City's storm water utilities. This number is based upon the amount -313-
