Sire Plan Review: Children's World Daycare August 1, I996 Page 2 of 3 Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles shall be stored within a completely screened structure or container. The site plan identifies a 100% screened waste enclosure made of brick and siding to match the building. Off Street Parking - Design: In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off-street parking, and maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B-612 concrete curbing. Off Street Parking - Spaces' Required: City Code does not establish a standard for number of off-street parking spaces for daycares. The City of Andover requires 1 space per 7 children plus 1 space for every 3 classrooms; Elk River requires 1 space per employee and 1 space per 12 children; Champlin requires 1 space for every 300 square feet of building space. Using one space for every 300 square feet, this facility would be required to provide 29 parking spaces; 30 are proposed. Lighting: The site plan identifies the installation of a couple of light poles in the parking 10t. Bulbs emitting in excess of 3,000 lumens should be completely shielded. Drainage and Grading: A Grading and Drainage Plan has been prepared by Schoell & Madson, Inc. and is dated August 1, 1996. The plan calls for the extension of the existing retaining wall along the edge of the wetland. A portion of wetland will need to be f'flled to comply with this plan. it would appear the mount of f'filing would fall within the amount currently allowed under the deminimus exemption. Documentation con£u'ming this should be submitted to the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization for verification. All runoff generated from this development is proposed to be collected in a piped storm Water system and discharged to an existing stormwater detention pond for treatment prior to discharge into the adjacent protected wetland. The detention pond is proposed to be expanded to accommodate this discharge. Access: The site will have access from the private drive between County Road gl 16 and 142nd Avenue N.W. Pedestrian Sidewalk: The site plan does provide area along the east property line for the pedestrian sidewalk that is part of the Mn/DOT - Anoka County 47/116 improvement project. Transportation Impact Fee: The City Council has enacted a Transportation Impact Fee. The rate established for commercial development is $1.50 per square foot of commercial space and this fee is collected as an additional line item on the building permit.
