Site Plan Review: <br />March 11, 1999 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br />Waltek <br /> <br />that outside waste storage is located in the side or rear yard and screened from public <br />view and adjoining properties. Generally this has been done using privacy fencing with a <br />gate, or with materials matching the principal building exterior and a wooden vertical <br />gate. <br /> <br />Off-Street Parking-Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space for every <br />person on the maximum work shift. The plan indicates there will be 53 employees on the <br />maximum work shift. The plan provides 53 spaces, including two handicap accessible <br />parking spaces. <br /> <br />Off-Street Parking-Design: In accordance with City Code, the off-street parking and <br />maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with bitttminous paving and finished with <br />B6/12 concrete curbing. The parking lot design meets City Code. <br /> <br />The proposed temporary access drive is bituminous paving with a bituminous curb. This <br />is acceptable to City Staff. However, City Staff suggests the temporary drive either <br />include an additional fork that follows the proposed access easement and connects to the <br />existing gravel drive, or that it is not connected at all with the parking lot as indicated on <br />the plan. This modification would benefit the site by avoiding conflicts with truck traffic <br />and employee/visitor parking, and allowing the landowner to the north to maintain access <br />to that property from Sunfish Lake Boulevard when the existing gravel drive access is <br />abandoned. <br /> <br />Off-Street Loading: City Code states that one off-street loading berth of not less than 50 <br />feet must be provided for every business and industrial use with a floor area of more than <br />10,000 square feet. The plan is deficient of this requirement. <br /> <br />Drainage and Grading: The existing grades toward the western portion of the site are <br />relatively flat. However, the grade falls rapidly across the southeastern comer of the site <br />and ranges between 10 and 18 percent. Drainage from the parking area is proposed to be <br />directed to a detention pond located on the south. This is the natural predevelopment <br />drainage pattern for the area. <br /> <br />The new building is proposed to have its roof drains discharge on the south and eastern <br />sides of the building. It is unclear how much of this drainage will make its way to the <br /> <br />37 <br /> <br /> <br />
