subdiv'isiom Use of ~ area by the appllcamt could cause future commercial development in Rivenwick to install larger upstream detention areas. If this clrainage plan were to be pursue~ an agreement will be needed from the developers of Rivenwick for use of the detention capacity. The remaining drainage to the east would still need to comply with WMO requi~ments for detention. Finally, Staff is in receipt of a letter dated February 25, 1994, from the applicant in wkich he states the increase to the storm sewer is between 3% and 4%. To make any estimate of the percent of increase, one must first establish the quantity of runoff cun~nfly being discharged. The applicant presents no information which establishes that number. In addition, Staff can only verify approximately one-half of the 18,000 feet sited to drain onto a "landscape/detention" berm. Sr~ff also disagrees strongly that a 4 foot snip of gravel is going to provide m~y detention for storm runoff much less eliminate the runoff completely as the appI~cant suggests. 13. t4. Bui]digg Design and Materials: City Code requires exterior walls to be of m~terial~ that are 100% other than metal, exclusive of doors and windows. The exterior view of these storage structures is a series of overhead doors supported by decorative masontry block columns consistent with the existing sn'uctures on Lots 1 and 2. City Code restricts build.hag heights to 35 feet; the maximum builfllng height proposed on the structures is 11'4". Signed archkeetura] drawings of the structures have not been submitte~ The developer indicates that upon site plan approval, signed arehiteetur~ drawings will be provided at the time of building permit application. Lighting: On-site lighting appears to be arranged to adequaIely illuminate the parking and drive areas without emitting an excessive amount of lighting off the property. · Site S~zrti~_,: The facility is proposed to be enclosed with a 6 foot high chain ]ir, lc fence topp~ with 3 strands of barbed wire to match what currently exists on Lots 1 and 2. The pl~n~ng Commission will be meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 3, 1994, to consider your request for a conditional use permit and to review the proposed site plan. Enclosed for yom' information is a copy of the proposed findings of fact and conditional use permit relating to your r~uest for a conditional use permit Of course, all of these matters hinge on a favorable outcome on the request for a variance to the impervious surface area restriction. I suggest that you, or your representative, be present at the meeting m answer any que~ons that may arise. If you have any questions, please don~ hesitate to cai1.
