o o ~ The proposed building has a total of three loading bays located on the east and 8out§ sides of the building. Two of the loading docks are on the south side of the builtiing ¢,hich fronts Hwy. #10. To comply with code requirements, the building design should be' altered to locate the two loading docks to the north side of the building. This could rcslalt in the necessity to alter the proposed location of the building to accommodate man~uv~'ability area on the north side of the building. Design of Off-Street Parkine. Driveway and Loading Dock Areas: City Code requires that ali bf the~e areas include curb and gutter and be surfaced with concrete or asphalt. The site pian india, ares an existing driveway and off-sn'eet parking area with bituminous surface and no:cl~rbihg. The site plan proposes a Class 5 second access from Hwy. #10 and mat~uve~'ing area to loading docks and LP storage tank. The applicant has noted that there 'haVe,hecta discussions with the City regarding the need for storm sewer improvements in the area .~.hich may involve the subject property and has therefore requested the waiving of all: additional pavement and curbing requirements that may be required. City Staffs reCOmmendation is that B612 concrete curbing be required, at a minimum, from the proPertY ,~ntrance up to the six foot chain link fence to be installed on all new and existing Pa'0~ ar~as. The future storm sewer could be located beyond this paved area. Most likely, it cogld b~ placed in the vicinity of the existing parcel's western border. To meet City Code requirements, the applicant should pave the traffic pattern routes to the loading docks and LP s~torage tank. Curbing might be waived beyond the fenceline. The fence could be mov~l n6rth to accommodate the additional off-street parking spaces. Utilizes: [The facility will continue to be served by an on-site sewage disposal system and a Pri¥~te W~ll. It is the City's understanding that the proposed building will not significantly incr~se water use or wastewater generation. Landscan~ng Screening: Minimum 20 foot landscape buffers are required and provided for actjh~nt:~ U.S. Highway #]0. All of the combined property from the existing office/retail buikllnghorth is proposexl to be enclosed with chain link fencing. The landscaping plan pr0p0s¢$1to install 3 Mountain Ash trees and 15 shrubs along the fenceline from the westerly line of the easternmost driveway to the west property boundary. Landscaping sh°u~ alfio be considered to help screen the large L.P. tank currently located between the Parking 16t and T.H. #10. ~q~~. Drainage within this area has been problematic. An area of approximately 2.5 les to the north drains to the subject property. In the mid 1980~s, lengthy purril~ing ~hich lasted for months occurred at this property. The City is pursuing a storm sew~ to l~'ovide drainage at the location as a long term solution. In the interim, however, th*p!ropoged addition of building area and the drive surfacing will increase the amount of runoff g~nerated by this property. Presently, ponding occurs on the property in the loel~tion ~f the L.P. tanks located along the s~tes ex~snn~, western boundary. Addmonal dm~n'age rimns onto the adjacent Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way and ponds in the r~ilroSd ditch. It is recommended that a seapage pond be created in the northwestern corner of~he western parcel.
