Site Plan Review Letter Command Corporation August 31, 1995 Page 2 of 2 Off Street Par~king - D. esi_m~: In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off-street parking, loading and maneuvenng areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B- 612 concrete curbing. Off Street Pal ~ing - Spaces Required: City Code requires 1 parking space for each employee on the maximun working shift. The number of employees is not identified on the site plan; 100 parking spaces are being proposed. Access: The site is proposed to have two accesses onto McKinley Street. Drainage and Grading: The storm runoff generated by this development is proposed to be handled by the drainage plan prepared by Schoell & Madson, Inc. This plan proposes several discharge . points from the project site. The parking lot located on the northwest corner of the property will be drained overland to a catch basin which will discharge to the east ditchline of County Road #57. The County h~ a policy which requires any discharges to the County ditch to be at or less than the predevelopment discharge. A preliminary review of the existing and proposed drainage indicates that this condition is met. The County may require calculations before their approval is granted for this discharge. Minor areas which comprise the two access drives discharge into the north curbline of McKinley Street which has been provided with catch basins. These catch basins discharge into the detention area located on Outlot A of the subdivision plat which has been reserved for drainage purposes. The building roof drains will be discharged through an internal building drain line. The 18" storm pipe will exit the building on the east and will also intercept runoff from the east parking areas. Both storm water discharge from the building and east parking lot will be discharged directly into the Ouflot A drainage basin. Erosion control silt fence is proposed surrounding virtually the entire subject property. The developer needs to have 'the grading and drainage plan approved by the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization. i, Sjgll: The sim plan indicates the placement of a sign; a sign permit from the City is required prior to erection of.the sign. It is Staffs recommendation that the identification sign also recognize 'Ramsey' as the company location. Loading Dg~ks: Thc loading docks arc provided along the west wall of the building and there appears to be sufficient maneuvering area provided for trucks. Lighting Plan: The site plan indicates lighting for the south, east and west walls of the building and both the parking lots. The type of lighting proposed IS OR IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH CITY CODE.
