illustr~ed for that area which would service traffic into the maintenance and storage areas. Past p61icies have required developments to have all traveled drive areas hard-surface paved,r Therefore, I would recommend that bituminous surfacing be extended to include the are~ designatezl as grave] drive and parking on the submission. In addition, there is no concre~ curb and gutter specified on this plan. It has been past policy to require concrete curb ~nd gutter to encompass all paved areas. Recently, on a heavy industrial development, we relaxed the policy and required that curb and gutter only be installed up to the frof~t building line. The Planning and Zoning Commission should determine the extent to which concrete curb should be required on this plan. At a minimum, however, curb and gutl~m' should be requirext up to thc front building line to be consistent with past policies. '" Performance standards require one parking space per 200 square feet of ~~e. The size office designated would require 9.2 spaces. Additionally, there is a maintet~ance area and I am uncertain as to whether that area will house full-time employees. If so, 8ddifional parking should be provided. The site plan shows seven spaces being propose~d. The standard suggests the number of spaces proposed will not be sufficient. Either i~dditional stalls should be provided or documentation should be provided detailing the number of employees and visitors that can be expected at this facility. Landseatfine Plan: The plan submitted shows six plantings of some sort are to be provid~l albng the wall of the office facing the sn'eet. The type and size of these plantings should? obviously be specified. In addition, the Commission may want to consider additiohal landscaping between the parking lot and 153rd Avenue N.W. Architectural Standards: The exterior finish on all sides of the building is to be stucco,r' This is in conformance with the architectural standards. I recommend the site plan be revised in accordance with the comments above. Respectfully s~bmitted, City Engine~ SJJ/jmt
