Sketch Plan and Site Plan Review -Cross of Hope Addition October 28, 2010 Revised January 20, 2011 Page 4 of 8 (existing and proposed expansion) is equipped with an approved automatic sprinkler system, which is required by Minnesota State Building Code. The following revisions are still necessary: Sheet AS2 • Please provide details/specifications for the "20' fire access surface" • Please ensure consistency of fire access radii across all sheets. There appear to be differences between Sheet AS2 and both AS5 and AS6. • The Fire Access direct from 179th Ln shall be clearly noted as 'future' on all plans. The City will work with the Anoka County Highway Department as to proper surfacing and signage, etc. • Fire apparatus access roads shall be designed and maintained to support the imposed load of fire apparatus weighing at least 75,000 pounds and shall be surfaced to provide all weather capabilities. Any surface other than bituminous or concrete shall require City Council approval. If it is your intention to utilize an alternative surface, you should articulate that to the City Council Signs: The existing ground sound will need to be relocated so that it is entirely on private property and not within any portion of the public right-of-way. Please note that a separate sign permit is required to relocate or install any permanent sign. Sheet AS2: • The existing ground sign must be relocated out of the newly dedicated public road right-of- way. Relocating the existing sign or removing and installing a new sign requires a Sign Permit and that is a separate review. Sheet A3: • Please clarify what is meant by "Cross of Hope with light form inside". If this is new signage, it will require a Sign Permit and that is a separate review. Landscaping Plan: The proposed landscaping (combination of trees and shrubs) does satisfy the required number of plantings; however, the following revisions are still necessary: Sheet AS4: • Planting detail shall specifically state that planting depth shall be such that the Is` set of primary roots is at finished grade. • Plan must specify that a minimum of six (6) inches of topsoil that meets Mn/DOT's Premium Topsoil Borrow specification must be installed over all disturbed areas not devoted to buildings, off-street parking, driveways, sidewalks, patios or other such improvements. If amending onsite topsoil, documentation must be supplied to the City certifying that the amended material meets this specification prior to installation. • Planting detail shall specify that mulch is to be tapered such that it is not piled against trunk of trees. • A species more tolerant of wet sites should be used in the rain garden areas. • Plan should specify that all newly installed landscaping shall include an in -ground irrigation system. Irrigation metering, backflow devices and rain sensors shall be installed and appropriately placed throughout the site.
