February 27, 1990 Page 2 Parkinq and circulation The overall building area is 50' by 80' with approximately 2,600 square feet of retail space. Based on City Code, a minimum of 13 spaces are required for retail space plus additional parking for the employees. The site plan shows a total of 18 spaces. As indicated in my letter regarding the sketch plan review of the Hauser Addition, access to the site should be limited to 146th Avenue N.W. Therefore, we would recommend that the existing access from Armstrong Boulevard be removed. Also, the proposed access to 146th Avenue N.W. should be located at least 150 feet from the centerline of Armstrong Boulevard to provide for stacking of vehicles on 146th Avenue. This would require the relocation of the proposed building to the south. The applicant may wish to consider relocation, of some of the parking on the north side of the building. Concrete Curb (B612) should be used on the perimeter of all parking areas and the access drives. Curb is not shown on the plan with the exception of the integral curb along the sidewalk. Landscape The landscape plan shows two blue spruce, one green ash and several foundation plantings. City Code requires that landscaping be provided along all streets. The applicant may wish to consider using all ash along both 146th Avenue and Armstrong Boulevard. If blue spruce are to be used, the minimum height requirement is 5' rather than the 2-1/2" diameter as specified. The preferred underlay material for rock mulch is "Duon" landscape fabric or equal. If poly is used in lien of fabric, the minimum thickness of the poly should be 6 mils. The planting bed and trees near the driveway must be at least 20' from any drive or street. All remaining areas must be seeded, sodded, or other ground cover established. Storm Drainaqe Drainage from this site is proposed to flow north along Armstrong Boulevard. Provisions should be made to drain the site to the ditch along Armstrong Boulevard. The plan shows the grading on the south side of the building sloping towards the building. Also, the plan shows 12 inch corrugated metal pipes proposed under the driveways on 146th Avenue N.W. The design of 146th Avenue N.W. is a suburban design without a ditch. Therefore, no culverts are required.
