-2- Avenue where it will enter the existing storm drain system. To pre- vent unnecessary flows into the roadway we would recommend that a low point be created in the entrance to the development and additional catch basins be provided at that point. The required ponding area and drainage easement has not yet been deter- mined. However, Mr. Raatikka will attempt to have that information available at the time of the meeting. The proposed development would, at this time, have a single ingress and egress to 153rd Avenue. Future development of'the adjoining areas would provide access to the proposed Argon Street. At that time, if traffic on 153rd Avenue is such that conditions warrant, the ingress- egress to 155rd Avenue could be changed to ingress only. The impact to traffic on 153rd Avenue and T.H. #47 would be minimal at this time. The proposed use generates traffic that is spread throughout the working day and is, therefore, dispersed. It will not create an early morning and afternoon congestion problem such as a factory would. The development of the surrounding area at a future date will in all probability create the need for signalization at the intersection of 153rd Avenue and T.H. #47. However, viewing this realistically, signalization will eventually be a necessity. The area is adequately s~rved with utilities and there should be no adverse impact in this area. As noted before, the area soils are acceptable for an on-site septic system and there is adequate area available on the property to provide for sewage disposal until such '/ time as city sewer would become available. We would recommend this disposal system be designed to comply with both state and local codes by a registered professional engineer. 2) Development Concepts - The land use relationships comply with the Ordinance and the'clinic and pharmacy are permitted uses in this zone, The prOp0sed'structure is well separated from the residential zone by open space in excess of 400 feet which provides a good buffer between the'two zones, The proposed development as well as the future proposed development meets the ordinance requirement in respect to open space. Based on the initial indicated use, the parking area provided'is adequate. However, if the lower level of the dlinic is to be'used as a professional building and not as a clinic, additional parking spaces may be required. The landscaping plan is not available at this time, but the necessary landscape area as designated by ordinance has been shown on'the plot' plan. We would recommend that t~ees of a type that will provide screen- ing be placed in the designated landscape area adjacent to 153rd Avenue as well as along a portion of'the east property line abutting the resi- dential area.
