Review Letter - Copper Sales Site Plan March 29, 1996 Page 2 of 3 City Code also requires the storage yard to be surfaced to control dust and it has been the policy of the City to require bituminous or concrete. In addition, all paved areas are required to be finished with concrete curbing. The site plan does not clearly identify that the storage yard will be paved and should be modified accordingly. L_~3/iKq.~ll~ In accordance with City Code, the Landscape Plan provides for a minimum 20 foot wide landscape area along McKinley Street. The Covenants requires that at least 10% of the lot (21,700 square feet) be landscaped with lawn and plantings. The Landscape Plan proposed that 50% of the lot will be landscaped. Ins .to.tlation of an irrigation system will protect the investment in landscaping and is required by the Covenants. AnThitecturai Standards: The building does not exceed the 35 foot height limit. The exterior finish of the structure is proposed to be painted concrete block with a pre-finished metal panel application to the top t/3 of the building, which is in accordance with City Code. The Covenants requires mechanical equipment to be screened from the street and painted or aesthetically incorporated into the design of the building. ~: In accordance with City Code and the Covenants, all waste stroage must be indoors or in a completely screened enclosure on the site. The site plan needs to be modified to identify the plans for waste storage. Off Stre¢~ Parking and Driveways - Desi~: The Site Plan identifies driveways and off-street parking areas and although it is not assumed, it does not clearly indicate that they will be finished with bituminous and B-612 concrete curbing. This modification should incorporated into the plan. Off Street Parking - Spaces Reo_uired: City Code requires 1 parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift. The number of employees proposed at the facility is not identified and Staff cannot determine that this requirement is met. Access: The site is proposed to have one access from McKinley Street. Drainage and Grading: A regional detention pond will be constructed as a part of the McKinley Street improvements, as well as a storm sewer which will be placed in McKinley Street. The McKinley Street storm sewer will allow capacity for a limited amount of storm water discharge from adjacent properties. This site plan proposes direct discharge of only the loading dock area to the storm sewer utilizing one eight inch pipe. The remainder of the property wilt drain overland, primarily to the south to a drainage swale running along the railroad tracks which w/ii discharge into the regional drainage pond. It is unclear as to where the roof drains will discharge. If a substantial amount of the roof area is to discharge to the north side of the building, there is a depression north of the property line where ponding following a precipitation event may be expected without additional grading.
