Off Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires 1 partdng space for each employee on the maximum working shift and 1 space for every 200 square feet of office space. The site plan is proposing a total of 30 parking spaces: 9 par'Ling spaces for 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. l..&tk4i,B..~_r~ City Code requires a minimum of one loading dock at least 50 feet deep for a faciliD, this size. The site plan proposes a loading dock on the north wall of the building but it is our understanding that it is being relocated to the west wall. "Fne site plan should be mended accordingly. A loading dock on the west wall will meet the 50 foot depth requirement. ~ No exterior lighting plan has been shown on the site plan and modifications should be made accordingly. An), lighting used to illuminate the site should be arranged to deflect light away from adjacent properties and roadways. The lighting plan should consider illuminating the partdng lot and pedestrian pathway. Drainage: The eastern half of the site is relatively fiat while the western haft slopes steeply to the southeast toward the County road. Tine existing dm/nage follows this general direction and ultimately flows to Wetland 675 located approximately 400 feet to the west. The proposed facility vail drain all of the newly mated impervious area to the north into a proposed swale, except for approximately ?,000 square feet wl'fich will drain to the highway ditch. The County, H/ghway Department requires that no more than the pre-existing runoff may be discharged to the County ditch. Although the mount of runoff is relatively small., it is beyond the pre-development conditions. "Fne City Engineer suggests that revising the parking lot grading, or including a small amount of storm pipe, be considered to channel the runoff from the front parking lot toward the proposed d.rainage swale to the northwesu The proposed grading plan as presented has no erosion control provisions. The steep slope on the southwest comer of the parldng lot is highly erodible during construction and could Iikelv block the County's dr'ainage ditch. A silt fence should be provided at the toe of ~is emba 'nk..ment and slopes shouid be stabiiized with mulch or erosion netting as soon as possible after grading. The proposed di'alnage swale off the northwest edge of the parking lot pavement is also highly erodible. "Fne CiB, Engineer recommends that a 900 square foot sump area having a depth of three feet be constructed off the discharge from the bituminous to silo,,,,, for s~timentation and dissipation of the runoff velo-':-ities. The remaining swale should be prov/ded with sa'aw bale checks or some other erosion control until turf is re-established. 5 .Access: The site is proposed to have one access onto Count), Road #116. The plan has been forwarded to Anoka CourtD, for review and comment. The access ~m"ade of ten percent is quite steep and will be problematic, particularly in slippe~ weather
