NTT[ - Site Plan April 30, 2004 Page 2 of 4 All unimproved areas must be sodded. Any alternative to sod will require City Council's approval. Additionally, all landscaped areas are required to have an underground irrigation System (which is noted on the landscaping plan). The parcel has roughly 848 lineal feet of site perimeter, which equates to a minimum of seventeen (17) trees needing to be installed. Of these, a minimum of six (6) need to be planted along both Basalt St and 141st Ave to satisfy, the public road fi'ontage planting requirement (one tree per 35 feet of public road frontage). The parking tot landscaping trees shall be planted within the parking lot or immediately adjacent to the parking stalls (this requirement is being satisfied with a flowering crab' and a sugar maple). The remaining trees can be planted throughout the property. The current landscaping plan shows a total of twenty (20) trees and twenty-nine (29) shrubs being installed. The sizes and species indicated in the species palette meet the minimum standards. However, one revision will be necessary. The public road frontage planting requirement is not being met. This does not require any additional plantings; however, the locations of the proposed plantings should be adjusted to ensure a sufficient number of trees along 141st Ave. Architectural Standards: City, Code restricts building height to 65 feet and exterior wall finishes to natural or prefabricated brick or stone or ibm-cast concrete panels or some other material approved by City Council. The site plan is proposing exterior building materials to consist of colored rock face concrete masom-y units. The building elevations shown on the plans indicates the building height to be 19 feet, which meets City Code. Waste Storage: CiW Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored within a completeiy screened structure or container. The submitted site plan does not identify a waste storage area. Please indicate whether there will be outside waste stor~age. Off-Street Parlcing - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse floor space and one space for each 300 square feet of office space. The site plan is proposing 16 parking stalls, which exceeds City Code requirements. Lighting: No exterior lighting appears to be proposed. If exterior lighting is being considered a lighting plan must be submitted. Drainage and Grading: Staff received the preliminary grading, drainage, and erosion control and utility, plan prepared by Charles W Plowe, dated April 6, 2004. 1. The bumper curbs shown adjacent to the south and east side of the building are not acceptable, B6/12 concrete curb and gutter should be placed around the building. 2. If the first floor elevations of the building is to be 868.00, the concrete gutter elevation needs to be a minimum of six inches lower to ensure positive drainage.
