The City adopted the 2001 Comprehensive Plan on December 18, 2001. The Comprehensive Plan includes a general policy stating that new commercial developments should be serviced by urban services. Since municipal services are not available to the site at this time,-Staff is recommending that the development permit require connection to urban services within 2 years. of availability. Drainage and Utility. Easement: The temporary cul-de-sac easement should be shown to be in compliance with the proposed preliminary plat fbr West Ramsey Industrial Park~ The standard 10-foot easements are shown around the perimeter of the subject property. Setbacks: The building location exceeds the 40-foot front and 35-foot rear yard and 20-foot side yard setback requirements. Ci~ Code requires a 20-foot green space area adjacent to all public roads; the site plan complies with this requirement.

City Code restricts exterior wall finishes to consist of brick, natural stone or pre-cast concrete panels or other 'material as approved by City Council.

The proposed exterior building materials meets City Code requirements.

The site plan indicates that a concrete wall will enclose the waste storage area; this meets City standards. Off-Street Parking - Design: City. Code requires that all driveways, off:street parking and maneuvering areas are to be surfaced with bituminous pavement and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. The site plan indicates that the employee/customer parking and loading dock areas are to be surfaced with bituminous pavement. The employee/customer parking area will be finished with concrete curbing and the loading berth area is proposing to be finished with a bituminous curbing. Staff feels that the proposed bituminous curbing will ach/eve the same goal as concrete curbing without imposing a significant expense in removing the concrete curbing when a future expansion is constructed. The "barrier" curbing shall be constructed as show on the site plan, which shows that there are no driveway openings in the bituminous curbing.
