Review Letter - Listul Site Plan January 31, 1996 Page 2 of 3 Architectural Standards: The building does not exceed the 35 foot height limit. The structure will be a 'tip-up' construction type with a combination of rock and smooth face block finish, which is in accordance with City Code. ~f,.~,S.l.~t~tg.t: In accordance with City Code, a waste storage structure has been identified on the site plan. The site plan should be modified to identify the type of construction materials. Off Street Parking and Driveways - Desi~: In accordance with City Code, ali driveways and off- street parking areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. Off Street Parking - Spaces Required: The basis for determining number of parking spaces required with other similar facilities has been 1 per 200 square feet of office space and I per 2,000 square feet of warehouse space. Therefore, 26 parldng spaces would be required and the site plan proposes to install 39. Access: The site is proposed to have one access from McKinley Street and an exit only onto Sunfish Lake Blvd. The site plan has been forwarded to the Anoka County Highway Department for comment. Drainage and Grading; A drainage and grading plan has been submitted on Sheet L-1 which is entifled Landscape Plan. The plan proposes that the entire site, except for short segments of drive access onto McKinley Street and Sunfish Lake Blvd. be directed to the western comer of the site where runoff would be directed into a stormwater detention pond An outer from this pond should be consnmcted to the 42 inch storm pipe which is installed along the west side of Sunfish Lake Blvd. The proposed detention pond is consistent with the City's comprehensive storm plan which will propose a series of detention ponds and connecting storm sewers which will convey flow from as far north as the Peltzer Addition subdivision, south through the AEC Energy Park to the railroad tracks and east to the existing 42 inch storm sewer in Sunfish Lake Blvd. This 42 inch storm sewer discharges into the M/ssissippi River. The storm pipe connecting the detention pond to the Sunfish Lake storm sewer should be constructed by the City in conjunction with this project. The developer should consider the use of storm pipe to discharge into the sedimentation pond. If overland drainage is selected, consideration should be given to erosion control across the Class 5 surfaces and inlets into the pond. The developer may also consider placing an additional small sedimentation pond at the southeastern comer of the property and discharging directly into the tnmk storm pipe to minimize the amount of storm pipe necessary. L~,~ij. llg_I~.~_~: Section 9.03.06 of the City Code requires loading docks to be located on the rear side of the building. The facility proposes a drive through warehouse for indoor loading and unloading of trucks and therefore the overhead doors are approved as proposed.
