Basalt Properties, LLP - Site Plan August 29, 2003, Revised September 19, 2003 Page 2 of 4 · The sanitary sewer service must be shown connecting to Basalt St. Insulation may be required on the service to ensure that freezing does not occur. The site plan approval is contingent upon sewer and water to be installed in Basalt Street. Provisions shall be made to coordinate with that construction activity. Setbacks: The southern building (Building A) on the subject property meets the required 35-foot front and rear yard and 20-foot side yard setback requirements. The northern building (Building B) meets the front-yard setback of 35 feet and the side yard setback of 20 feet. The rear yard setback for Building B is 26 feet, which is less than the required setback of 35 feet. However, you are requesting that this deviation be allowed as part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) rezoning. Staff feels that this deviation from the required rear yard setback is acceptable contingent on approval of the PUD rezoning. City Code requires a 20-foot green space area adjacent to all public roads, which this site plan meets. Landscaping: City code requires one (1) tree per everY forty (40) lineal feet of site perimeter be planted throughout the site. Of these trees, there must be at least one (1) tree planted per thirty-five feet along any public road frontage on the property. City Code also requires that no less than 25% of the trees planted be deciduous and no less than 25% coniferous. Furthermore, City Code requires that no more than 25% of the trees planted consist of ornamental trees. In addition to these plantings, City Code also requires that one (1) overstorY tree per ten (10) parking spaces be installed, within or immediately adjacent to the parking area, to provide shade and visual relief. Finally, City Code requires that four (4) shrubs be planted for each required tree. The parcel has roughly 1,570 lineal fe~t of site perimeter, which equates to a minimum of thirty-nine (39) trees to be installed. Of these, a minimum of twenty-two (22) need to be planted along Basalt St and 141~t Ave to satisfy the public road frontage planting requirement. The remaining trees can be planted throughout the property. The current landscaping plan shows a total of thirty-one (31) trees being installed On site and that twelve (12) existing trees will be preserved, resulting in a total of forty-three (43) trees (the existing trees are of sufficient size to be credited toward the planting requirements). These include thirty-one (31) installed trees along both Basalt St and 141st Ave and an additional four (4) trees, which are being preserved, along Basalt St. The landscaping plan also includes a total of 158 shrubs that will be installed, which is two more than required by City Code. There are forty-five (45) parking stalls indicated on the site plan. This results in the need for a minimum of four (4) additional overstorY trees that should be planted' within or adjacent to the parking areas. These plantings should occur in or adjacent to the two lots on the north and south ends of the site. The planting area for each of these trees shall be a minimum of 162 square feet. The southern lot has sufficient plantings adjacent to it; however, there should be at least one additional tree, and preferably two or more, installed along the northern lot to provide some shading to these stalls.
