Site Plan Review: Sharp & Associates Page 2 of 3 t 0/29/98 Landscaping and Screening: Staff recommends minor modifications to the proposed Landscape Plan. On the east side of the property an additional tree should be planted south of the one proposed. On the west side of the property the proposed sugar maple tree should be moved north so it is offset by at least 15 feet from the trees being planted on the adjacent A & R Manufacturing site, and an additional tree should be planted south of the proposed tree, also being conscience of the plantings on the adjacent lot. The trees being planted on the east and west sides should be pruned so as not conflict with the truck traffic passing by them. Waste Storage: The waste storage containers wilt be located at the rear of the building, with one located at the southwest comer of the building and two other located at the center of the south side of the building. The plan indicates the construction materials to be painted concrete block with cedar gates. This meets City Code requirements. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space for every person on the maximum work skirt for Industrial properties. This is a spec building at this point and the number of employees is an unknown. The developer issuing a formula of 1 space per 400 square feet of office space and 1 space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse space, for a total of 37 spaces required. The plan indicates 52 stalls are proposed. However, City Code generally requires 1 space per 200 square feet of office space. For the Building Fasteners plan reviewed in August, 1998, the developer agreed to provide 1 space per 400 square feet for the first 6,000 square feet of warehouse floor area and t space per 1,000 square feet for the remaining 23,671 square feet of warehouse space. Using the same scale for this plan, the City would require the developer to provide 72 spaces, which is a 20 space deficiency from what is proposed. Altematively, 1 space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse floor area is commonly accepted in other cities. Using this scale, the total number of spaces required is 63; a deficiency of 11 space from what is proposed. Off-Street Parking - Design: The proposed plan indicates ail driveways, off-street parking and maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous paving and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. This is in compliance with City Code. Lighting Plan: The Site and Elevation Plans identify the exterior lighting locations and lighted areas. No diagrams of the fixtures were provided, but if the fixtures used follow the specifications in the Site Plan it should be in compliance with City Code. Loading Berth: The plan proposes to have four loading docks on the south side of the building that meet City Code requirements. There are also two large garage doors, one on the east side and one on the west side of the building, that do not meet the City Code requirement of 50 feet for loading berths. Tractor trailers would not be able to maneuver to use these side doors.
