~)ff Stree! Parkine - Spaces Required: City Code requires I parking space for each employe4 on the maximum working shift and 1 space for every 200 square feet of office spa, ce. The site plan is proposing a total of 30 parking spaces: 9 parking spaces fo~ 1,658 square feet of office space, 19 spaces for 7,600 square feet of manufacturing space, and 2 spaces for the 4,000 square feet of warehouse space. I~~' City Code requires a minimum of one loading dock at least 50 feet deep for a~facility this size. The site plan proposes a loading dock on thc north wall of the bulling but it is our understanding that it is being relocated to the west wall. Thc site p~j~n should be mended accordingly, A loading dock on the west wall will meet thc 5[ foot depth requirement. modificati should be The lighti pathway. No exterior lighting plan has been shown on the site plan and ms should be made accordingly. Any lighting used to illuminate the site ~,"ranged to deflect light away from adjacent properties and roadways. ~g plan should consider illuminating the parking lot and pedestrian ]~2tJ_rt~g~ i?he eastern half of the site is relatively fiat while the western half slopes steeply to t[~e southeast toward the County road. The existing drainage follows this general dir¢~cfion and ultimately flows to Wetland 675 located approximately 400 feet to the ,~'est. The proposed fa¢il.ity will drain all of the newly created imperv/ous area to the north into a propo ;ed swale, except for approximately 7,000. square feet wi'rich will drain to the high~ ay ditch. The County Highway Department requires that no more than the pre-existing runoff may be discharged to the County ditch. Although the amount of ~ noff is relatively small, it is beyond the pre-development conditions. The City Er gineer suggesr, s that revising the parking lot grading, or including a small amou~ tt of storm pipe, be considered to channel the runoff from the front parking lot t6ward the proposed drainage swale to the northwest. The propose~ steep slope c consumction ~ be provided mulch or ero~ t grading plan as presented has no erosion control provisions. The ,n the southwest corner of the parking lot is highly erodible during nd could likely block the County's drainage ditch. A silt fence should tt the toe of this embankment and slopes should be stabilized with ion netting as soon as possible after grading. The proposedidra/nage swale off the northwest edge of the parking lot pavement is also highly eripd, ible. The City Engineer recommends that a 900 square foot sump area having ~t depth of three feet be constructed off the discharge from the birurrfinous-to~al~ -low for sedimentation and dissipation of the runoff velocities. The remaining sw~e should be provided with straw bale checks or some other erosion conn'ol until ~ff is re-established. '. .'. Access: The site is proposed to have one access onto County Road gl 16. The plan has been forw~ded to Anoka County for review and comment. The access grade of ten percent ih quite steep and will be problematic, pa.m~cularly in slippery weather
