Town Center 4'h Addition - Site Plarv%'AU · 4 June 11, 2004, Revtseu June 18, 2004 P age 2 of 6 , to review' a vatfiance request roi' lesser right-of-way change. along 145"~ Ave. to accommodate the requested Grading, Drainage and Utilit3' Plan: We have reviewed the plans submitted for this development and offer the following comments. The project is part of Ramsey Town Center(RTC). The developer of RTC has created a master stormwater treatment plan fbr the area and is providing stormwater ponds for all properties in the development. Each individuai developer is responsible for providing an on-site Best Management Practice (BMP) to complement the overall stormwater plan. This BMP must be approved by the city and can take the form of a pre-treatment chamber, ie. Stormceptor, Bay Saver, vortex separator, etc., porous pavement or other treatment measure. The parking lot grading must be revised in the area of the handicap parking stalls. The maximum grade across accessible stalls is 2.0%. The current grades exceed this maximum. The adjacent streets are under construction at this time so establishing exiszing grades is a difficult process. The grading plan must show the proposed street grades per the approved construction plans and the proposed grades per the plan under review. Line weight and screening should be used to di~:'ferentiate the existing from the proposed on the plans. The current plans are all the same intensity, and difficult to interpret. The grading plan has a note stating sidewalk grades may be above building slab elevation. Positive drainage awav from the building must be provided in all locations. Detail must be provided for areas where the outside grades are higher than the floor slab. There is a storm sewer stub provided from Sunwood Drive. The plans ~:br this development and the pre!iminary plans for Outlot A of this plat both show connection to this stub. Sunwood Drive will be a concrete street so com~ection to the structure in the street will not be permitted after the street is constructed. The storm sewer plan must anti, c/pate connection of storm sewer from Outlot A and a stub must be provided ~br this fl.~ture connection.- Landscaping: City, Code requires one (i) tree per every, fifty (50) lineal feet of site perimeter or 1,000 square feet of building coverage, whichever is greater, be planted tlzroughout the site. A portion of these trees should be installed along the public .road frontage at no greater than thirt-y.'-five (35) feet on center. CiW Code also requires that no less than 25°,5 of the trees planted be deciduous and no less than 25% coniferous. Furthermore, City,. Code requires that no more than 25% oftl~e trees planted consist of ornamental trees. Parking lot landscaping is also required, one (1) tree per evew ten (10) parking stalls. In addition to the tree requirements, City Code also states that one (1) shntb per every tlfirt-y (30) .lineal feet of site perimeter or 300 square l:'eet of building coverage, whichever is greater, be planted. Site Ti-~e total building coverage on the property is 21,584 square feet. which equates to a minimum of twenty-one (2 l ,i trees and seventy-two (72) si'n'ubs needing to be installed. :-264-
