The accessory building will be located in the rear loading and unloading area where Council has previously approved the use of a gravel surface versus bituminous or concrete. The addition of the accessory building to the site will not precipitate installation of bituminous or concrete in the loading and unloading area. However, at such time that the bituminous customer/employee parking lot requires an overlay, the property owners should be put on notice that they will be required to install B-612 concrete curb around the perimeter of the bituminous to bring the parking area up to code. The modified site plan identifies existing and proposed lighting; the fixture specifications are subject to the approval of the City Engineer. No landscaping or screening of the site is required by City Code. However, because of the warehouse-type activity occurring on the site, Staff recommended the addition of deciduous plantings on the south property line for screening and conifer plantings on the north property line to reduce wind and snow drift onto the work area. The modified site plan proposes the addition of 7 deciduous trees on the south and 6 conifers on the north. Staff is recommending a minimum 5 foot height on the deciduous trees and 3 feet on the conifers. The City Engineer has determined that there is a depression in the middle of the site where standing water can be expected after precipitation events. The modified site plan proposes to correct the grades. The Plarming Commission reviewed the site plan on January 5, 1999 and recommended approval contingent upon compliance with the City Staff review letter dated December 30, 1998. As noted above, the applicant did modify the site plan to comply with the City Staff review letter. Recommendation: The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend site plan approval.
