Amcor Precast, Inc. Page 3 of 4 May 18, 2001 Council approval, The site plan is also proposing an outside storage area that will not be surfaced with bituminous or concrete. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift. The site plan indicates that the maximum number of employees there will be on one shift is 50. The site plan is proposing 65 employee/customer parking stalls; this meets City Code requirements. Lighting: If additional exterior lighting is proposed for the site, a lighting plan will need to be submitted and shall be subject to final approval by the City, Engineer. Landscaping: The Landscaping Plan is generally acceptable. The site plan is proposing species that are not recommended species in the City of Ramsey. The site plan should be revised to include plantings that are of a recommended species in the City of Ramsey. The Landscaping Plan must provide standard details for plantings in addition to specifying where the irrigated areas are. It should be noted that no berming or landscaping should be planted within the frrst 10 feet of the road right of way. Drainage and Grading: The Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization will require a permit for this development. From the National Inventory Map in the City's Stormwater Management Plan it does not appear that there is any wetland areas on this site. This information should be verified as it will be part of the permitting process for the Watershed Management Organization permit. The silt fence shall be maintained during the construction process and until successful tuff establishment. Then it will be the Developer's responsibility to,remove the silt fence upon successful turf establlshment. Drainage from the north parking lot and building will need to be routed through the pond on the north side or' 143rd Avenue NW. The on-site ponding for the southern drainage area to Control the rate of runoff and protect the siltation of downstream facilities needs to be modified. The grading plan shows that the water level will raise to an elevation of 864, but will overflow to the northwest at an elevation of 863. There should not be any connection to the storm sewer of Ebony Street NW from storm sewers from "unpaved" areas. These connections should be eliminated with drainage heading south to be treated or the areas that drain to these catch basins (Catch Basins #3 ind #4) should be paved. There is not any erosion control measures noted for the catch basins on the project area. These should be protected throughout the project to control siltation of downstream facilities. Ponding volumes and storm sewer calculations will need to be provided to assure compliance with Water Shed Management Organization standards. -155-
