~¥lini- Storage: Site Plcm Review ,Ady 30, 200¥ Page 3 of 4 the spacing o~' the trees may need to be adjusted or a tree(s) may need to: be eliminated from the planting schedule. If the latter is necessary, the City must be informed of the changes prior to any work being conducted. -.. Ground Cover: All landscaped areas must be sodded and irrigated per City Code. The utility, plan should be revised to include this information. Architectural Standards: City Code restricts building height to 65 feet and exterior wall finishes to natural or prefabricated brick or stone or pre-cast concrete panels or some other material approved by City Council. The building elevations plan indicates that Building F and Building A will consist of concrete masom? units. The remaining buildings will be constructed with metal paneling for exterior building materials. The proposed metal paneling is a deviation from City Code requirements and will require City Council approval. Information relating to the height of the buildings has not been supplied however, staff is confident that the units will not exceed 65 feet in height. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored within a completely screened structure or container. The submitted sire plan indicates a "dumpster" area, however it is not clear as to whether or not the refuse area complies with the screening requirement. Please revise the site plan accordingly. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code does not establish a minimum number of parking spaces for mini-storage facilities. City Code requires one off-street parking space per 300 feet o~' o f'~Tce space. The site plan indicates a 613 square foot of±ice facility and therefore subject to 2 parking stalls and 2 parking stalls are being provided. Off Street Parking - Design: In accordance with City Code, all parking and maneuvering areas must be smYaced with bituminous and the perimeter of all pavement will be finished with B6/12 concrete curbing. Lighting: Details on site lighting have not been provided. The site lighting must meet current city standards. Please provide site lighting information. Drainage and Grading: The grading plan and the drainage calculations indicate that 1/3 of the site runs ot'f the site with out passing tlzrough the storm water pond. This is not permitted under the LRRWMO rules. The grading outside the buildings A and F is shown at 0.5%. This is too fiat to provide proper flow. This is also the area that drains offthe site, bypassing the pond. The plans must be revised to capture this drainage and increase the slope. Revised drainage calculations will be required after these changes. The grading plan shows abrupt grade changes in the paving where the building elevations change. The change in grade along the fi'ont of the building is 1 toot in a very short distance. Detail on these transitions must be provided to guide the contractor in constructing the pavement. 8-/
