Site Plan Review: Ampride June 27, 1996 Page 2 of 3 Lot Coverage: Structure coverage in the B-3 Highway Business District is restricted to 35% of the lot. The area of the site is approximately 43,000 square fee~ the total square footage of the currently proposed structure is 4,937 square feet, which is in compliance with the 15,246 square foot structure coverage restriction. Setbacks: The proposed structure is subject to a 35 foot front, 20 and 10 foot side and 35 foot rear yard setbacks..Although no setback distances are noted on the plot plan, it appears that the front and side yard setbacks can be met. However, if the scale is correct, it appears that the 35 foot setback from the south or rear property line is deficient. In accordance with City code, a 17.5 foot wide strip along Hwy. #10 is to be void of any use, including parking and it appears that this requirement is also met. Amount of Off-Street Parking: City Code requires one customer parkirig space for every 200 square feet of retail space. It appears that there is approximately 3,400 square feet of retail space for which 17 parking spaces would be required. The concept plan shows 14 off-street parking spaces. However, it is common practice for vehicles to remain parked at gas islands while paying for purchases. There are 8 parking spaces provided at gas islands for a total of 22 potential parking spaces. Design of Off-Street Parking, Driveways, Maneuvering and Loading Areas: City Code requires that ali of these areas be paved and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. It is assumed that the site will be developed accordingly and the final site plan must identify these improvements in detail. Grading and Drainage: A Grading and Drainage Plan has not been submitted and must be provided prior to final site plan approval. A pen-nit must be obtained from the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization because this site will discharge into a Class A body of water, the Mississippi River. Architectural Standards: Building elevations provided indicate that the exterior finish on the building will be scored concrete block with a red ceramic face block trim and metal facia. The building height does not exceed 35 feet. The structure is in compliance with City Code architectural standards. Landscape and Screening Plan: At a minimum, City Code requires a 20 foot landscape area adjacent {o all streets. The site plan submitted is deficient of a Landscape Plan. The Plan to be submitted must identify the location, species, size and quantity of plantings to be established on the site. The parcel is surrounded by commercially used property and no screening plan is required. Utilities: The site will be required to connect to municipal utilities. The developer will responsible for charges associated with connecting to these services. I I 1 I I I i I I I 1 i I I I I
