Review Letter: Sharp Multi-Tenant in AEC Park 3rd Addition October 2, 1997 Page 2 of 3 Utilities: The facility will be served by sanitary sewer and municipal water. Setbacks: The proposed structure meets or exceeds the 40-foot fi'ont yard, 35-foot rear yard and 20-foot side yard setbacks established in the Business Warehouse District. Landscaping and Screening: The landscape plan proposes the establishment of 41 trees and 123 shrubbery around the perimeter of the property and building exc; pt for the loading dock area. It is being recommended that the Norway Maple trees be substituted with another species of Maple or other tree species that have a tested survival rate in Ramsey soils (see attachment). Shade tree species that have proven to do well in Ramsey's soils are hackberry, black walnut, quaking aspen, northern pin oak, burr oak and red oak. As the subject property is surrounded by industrial parcels, there are no screening requirements applicable to this site. Installation of an irrigation system is also recommended to protect the investment in landscaping; however, it may be required under the AEC covenants. The plan will be reviewed by the AEC Board on October 23, 1997. The Landscape Plan also meets City Code requirement for 20 feet of green space along Ramsey Blvd. and I43rd Avenue. 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 100'percent screening. Off-Street Parking and Driveways - Design: The site plan identifies that all driveways, off- s~eet parking areas, and loading areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous pavement and the perimeter of all pavement will be finished with B612 concrete curbing. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift for an industrial use and the anticipated number of employees in th_is multi-tenant facility is not reflected on the site plan. A determination as to whether or not the 186 parking stalls proposed is sufficient for the site will depend on the number of employees. Loading Berth: In accordance with City Code, the regularly used loading berth will be located on the rear or north wall of the structure. A minimum of three loading berths are required for this sized structure and sixteen docks and drive-in doors are provided to facilitate all tenants. I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I I I I I
