Proposed ~4thin the development permit is that the City provide financial assistance to Mr. Dubats toward completion of this project. Upon completion of alt site improvements and annual payment of taxes, it is proposed that from the tax increment development fund (EDA account) the City provide a $I180.4.6 per year contribution over i0 years ($7,921.00 @ 8% @ 10 years which is 2.93% of the project cost). City Code requires a 20 foot wide landscape area along all streets and along those areas where a commercial use is adjacent to a residential use. This requirement would apply to the west, south and east property lines. As for the east property line or the Ebony Street side, City Staff is recommend/rig waving the 20 foot landscape requirement in lieu of the intense commercial activity generated across the street by Superbowl. in order to maintain consistent spacing between buildings and sufficient maneuvenng area, the maximum landscape area that cml be achieved 'along the south property line is 15 feet. City Staff does not object to a 5 foot reduction in the requirement as long as the property owners to the south do not have an objection. The 20' wide landscape area cannot be achieved at alt along the west proper~y line. In discussions with City Staff, it has been determ/ned that waiving the 20 foot deep landscape area along the west property line could be accommodated by planting trees on the City's park trail corridor which runs parallel with the west property line. Mr. Dubats has agreed to plant a minimum of 45 trees along the south property line and in the City's park trail corridor adjacent to the west property line contingent upon the City contributing towards the capital cost of the trees being planted in the park corridor. The agreement negotiated is that upon presentation of receipts reflecting that a rmnimum of $4500.00 has been invested in tree plantings and approval of the planting plan by the City, the City will reimburse Mr. Dubats in the amount of $2400.00 from the EDA account. The Planning Commission reviewed the site plan at their regular meeting in March and recommended approval of same. Recommendation: The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend approval of the site plan and the development permit that has been negotiated. Council Action: Motion to: Approve/deny the proposed site plan for self-service storage facilities on Lot 3, Block 3, Riverside West, contingent upon DNR certification of the variance to impervious surface area and the applicant entering into a development perrrfit ageement with the City.
