Review Lette~- Copper Sales Site Plan March 29, 19[16 Page 2 of 3 City Code ~ requires the storage yard to be surfaced to control dust and it has been the policy of the City to re/iluire bituminous or concrete. In addition, all paved areas are required to be finished with concretelcurbing. The site plan does not clearly identify that the storage yard wilt be paved and should ~ modified accordingly. ~i~ks~tPJllgll In accordance with City Code, the Landscape Plan provides for a minimum 20 foot wide landscal~e area along McKinley Street. The Covenants requires that at least 10% of the lot (21,700 squ~e feet) be landscaped with lawn and plantings. The Landscape Plan proposed that 50% of the lot will be landscaped. Ins .mllation of an irrigation system will protect the investment in landscaping ahd is required by the Covenants. Architectural, itandards: The building does not exceed the 35 foot height limit. The exterior finish of the structur ~, is proposed to be painted concrete block with a pre-finished metal panel application to the top 1/3 of the building, which is in accordance with City Code. The Covenants requires mechanical ex uipment to be screened from the street and painted or aesthetically incorporated into the design of .he building. ~: In accordance with City Code and the Covenants, all waste stroage must be indoors or in ~ completely screened enclosure on the site. The site plan needs to be modified to identify the pl}ms for waste storage. Off Street Pa~king and Driveways - Desi~: The Site Plan identifies driveways and off-street parking areas }md although it is not assumed, it does not clearly indicate that they will be finished with bituminofis and B-612 concrete curbing. This modification should incorporated into the plan. Off Street Par,king - Spaces Required: 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 d{~termine 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 MqKinley Street. The McKinley Str~-et 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 will drain overland, primarily to th~ south to a drainage swale running along the railroad tracks which will discharge into the regional drainage pond. It is unclear as to where the roof drains will discharge. If a substantial arr~unt of the roof area is to discharge to the north side of the building, there is a depression noith of the property line where ponding following a precipitation event may be expected without additional grading.
