utilize the two storm sew, er stubs proposed along the north lot line and flowing to the stormwater ponds to the northwest. The east parking lot bordering Ramsey Boulevard is lowered with a berm provided between the parking stalls and the roadway to provide some screening of the parked cars. A 4-foot dock is provided on the south side of the school for deliveries. The school is handicap accessible on all four sides. A small rain garden is proposed on the north side of the site to provide some water quality attributes to the stormwater system. Utili~, Plan Sanitary sewer and water connections are proposed to connect to the planned systems in Peridot Street. Utility services into the building will enter the building at the southeast corner, near the dock. Landscape Plan The Landscape Plan has been designed to provide continuity to the landscaping within the larger Ramsey Town Center parcel. Linden, Oak, Ash and Maple trees are intermingled with Austrian and Red pines on the east and west borders of the site to replicate the tree-lined corridor of East Ramsey Parkway. Ash and Linden trees provide some shade for the west parking lot while Sugar Maples provide shade on the south edge of the tot lot. Shrubs have been specified throughout the site to provide a, colorful accent to the school building. Plantings on the shaded north side of the building under the angled main enfi~ance canopy are shade tolerant and designed to accentuate the canopy angle. The sidewalk in this area also follows the pattern of the canopy. A space has been reserved in the northwest corner of the site for a future student garden. The garden will be adjacent to the rain garden.
