! I I I I I I I I I I I I I Landscaping and Screening: Code requires landscaping to be provided along 146th Avenue and also along Armstrong Boulevard. A landscaping plan is provided on sheet L- 1. This plan includes 6 species of trees and shrubs and are to be planted on professionally landscaped berms and beds. Care should be taken to modify slightly the shape of the berm located at the Southeast comer of the site such that a 20 foot vision triangle from the property comer can be maintained at the intersection. o Building Materials: The structure will be constructed of plain concrete block and is in conformance with architectural conn'ol standards set forth in the City Code. 10. Curbing and Paving: Parking and drive areas are proposed to be hard surfaced with bituminous paving. Bituminous curbing is proposed around the perimeter of the parking and drive area. City Code requires that this curbing be a minimum of 12 inch concrete curbing. 11. Drainage: The developer shows a drainage plan which channels run-off from the building and paved parking areas down the access drive and out to 146th Avenue. From there, drainage would flow eastward within the curbline of 146th Avenue to the West ditchline of County Road #83 (Armstrong Boulevard) and then North for a distance of approximately one quarter mile where it would be contained in a wetland. It has been the policy of the City to require on-site retention of storm water. To accomplish this I would propose that drainage from the paved areas be channelled to the Southeast comer of the parking area, where it would be transferred via a swale to the east into a ponding area which could be created behind the landscaped berms. A ponding area 3 feet deep and approximately 40 feet wide along the North-South length of the property behind the berms would provide sufficient holding to accommodate a four inch storm from the entire site. Spoil material from the construction of this pond could be used to construct the landscaped berms. 12. Lighting: Security lighting is proposed at each corner of the storage building. The proposed lighting is an adequate distance from the streets such that glare should not be a problem providing a shielded luminaire is used. I recommend approval of this site plan contingent upon modifications being made to Items 10 and 1 ] as outlined above. Respectfully submitted, CITY OF RAMSEY Steven J. J~ankowski City Engineer SJJ:ccr
