Holiday RV Review Letter Page 2 of 3 May 28, 1998 Landscaping: Section 9.11.09 of City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscaped area along all streets. The site plan proposes a 20 foot wide green space along Riverdale Drive and State Highway 10. The landscape plan proposes to establish nine (9) trees and thirty-one (31) shrubs along the north end of the t~arking lot and building, and along the south property line. The Parks Supervisor is reviewing the site to determine if existing tree canopy should be preserved to supplement the proposed plantings. These comments will be forwarded to Holiday RV as soon as they are available. Architectural Standards: City Code restricts structure heights to 35 feet and exterior wall finishes must be brick, natural stone or precast concrete, or fabricated panels of these materials. The Elevations provided indicate that the building will be 26-1/2 feet in height and the building exterior will be faced with textured concrete block. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles shall be stored within a completely screened structure or container. In accordance with City Code, the site plan identifies a fenced waste container enclosure constructed of vertical redwood slats. However, the site plan proposes the waste enclosure be located within the I0 foot drainage and utility easement. Staff recommends the enclosure be moved easterly, out of the 10 foot easement, even if it requires the loss of a parking space on the south property tine. Off-Street Parking - Design: City Code requires all driveways, off-street parking areas, maneuvering areas and display areas to be paved with concrete or bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. The site plan identifies parking areas and maneuvering areas will be of asphalt surface, but the plan does not clearly show that the two (2) comer RV Display pads will also be of bituminous pavement or concrete surface. The site plan does not clearly indicate that the curbing will be B-612 curbing. The proposed site plan is also deficient of B-612 curbing on the east property line. The site plan should be modified accordingly. The plan also indicates 10 unstripped, RV magazine parking spaces in front of the service bays. This design may cause maneuvering difficulties. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires 1 customer parking space for every 10 vehicles on display; 3 RV sized spaces for each RV maintenance bay; and 1 space for each full-time employee. The site plan identifies RV display areas for 20 units. This would require 2 off-street parking spaces. The site plan indicates a 5 bay maintenance shop which would require another 15 spaces. There will be 6 full-time employees which would require 6 spaces. In addition, the site plan proposes to provide I0 parking spaces to accommodate the 1,952 square feet of office/sales space. This totals 34 off-street parking spaces provided with one reserved and designed for handicapped parking.
