If any outdoor storage is proposed on the site, a screening plan would be required under the Business Park 95 covenants. Installation of an irrigation system is also required under the covenants of the Business Park 95 Addition. The covenant requires a minimum of 15 percent green space and the ultimate development of the site is providing a site green space of 35.6 percent. Waste Storage: City Code requires dumpsters to be either stored indoors or in a completely screened enclosure outdoors. If the waste storage for this site is to be conducted outdoors, the site plan should be modified to describe the enclosure that will provide the 100 percent screening. Off-Street Parking and Driveways - Design: The site plan does not clearly reflect that all dr/veways, off-street parking areas, and loading areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous pavement and finished with B612 concrete curbing. The site plan should be modified accordingly. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift and the anticipated number of employees in this facility is not reflected on the site plan. A determination as to whether or not the 85 parking stalls ultimately proposed is sufficient for the site will depend on the number of employees. Loading Berth: City Code requires loading berths to be on the rear or south wall in this case. Loading berths are proposed on the south, east and west walls of the structure. A minimum of two loading berths are required for this sized structure and six are proposed. Screening of the loading berths on the east and west wails will be required. Drainage and Grading: At the date of this writing, the City has not received a grading and drainage plan fi.om the applicant. This site plan proposes creating an impervious area of approximately 135,000 square feet which will consist of either building area or pavement. A storm sewer currently exists in McKinley Street approximately 60 feet west of the centerline of the proposed driveway. This storm sewer has the capacity to handle a portion of the drainage from this site. It is recommended that the northwestern coruer of the property be utilized as a storm water depression. This depression should be extended across the western lot line and onto the adjacent property being developed as Amcon West. Storm water discharged into the McKinley Street storm sewer should first be routed into this stormwater ponding area. It is recommended that 55,000 square feet of impervious area be routed to this storm pond which would be sufficient to include the front parking lot and one-hail of the proposed building and its future expansion. It is also recommended that a second stormwater detention pond be constructed on the southwest corner of the property which would extend over the west property
