174 City, of Rarnsey June 30, 2000 Page 2 of 3 continues that encroachment. The Southwest comer of the existing building also encroaches on the setback. This project should be directed to the Board of Adjustrnent for a variance. Landscaping: The only landscaping noted on the plan appears to be the addition of 15 "evergreens". I£ these are to be salvaged as volunteers from the existing stand the applicant should be advised ~at scorch pine are a relatively short lived tree and the large number of same species planting does not provide good disease prevent/.on strategy. The building addition must have some foundation landscaping in order to receive landscape plan approval. Mark Boos Parks and Utilities Supervisor may be consulted for assistance in this matter at 763-427-8254 Screening: The subject parcel need not provide screening as it is surrounded by properties zoned Business. Waste Storage: The plan proposes a durnpster on the side of' the proposed addition. The trash enclosure wiI1 need to be enclosed and fully screened. The building materials will need to match those being used for the proposed addition. The site plan should be modified to include the dumpster screening materials. Off-Street Parking and Driveways - Design: The plan shows that the existing driveway and off-street parking area is paved. The proposed driveway (for trah'ring and delivery purposes) to the addition will be surfaced with bituminous pavement, but not finished with B-6/I2 concrete curbing. Staff is recommending that the development permit require the installation of B-6/I2 concrete curbing around the per/meter of' all blacktop. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: Boilermakers currently has 29 customer parking spaces and they are proposing to add I more for a total of 30 parking spaces. City Code requires 34 for this site. However, the exist./ng parking is underutilized and staff finds that 30 parking spaces adectuately meets the needs. Architectural Standards: The proposed addition does not exceed the 35-foot height limit. Exterior walls are proposed to consist of a combination of brick, painted concrete block, rock_face concrete block, cedar ply'wood and asphalt shingles. The use of the cedar siding in the proposed addition would be consistent with the existing building, but it does deviate from city code and requires council approval. Staff is also recommending the use of integrally color treated concrete block versus painted block. Drainage, Grading and Erosion Control: The new addition will create approximately 3,600 square feet of additional paving between the building addition and new driveway. The drainage from the new building will be the front and rear of the addition and be largely absorbed in turfed and wooded areas. The driveway will drain northwardly to the wooded area and southeasterly to the existing parking lot. ~t is recommended that a curb be placed along the northeasterly edge of the driveway to prevent erosion and drainage onto the adjacent parcel which is located only five I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I,
