zP[ini- Storage.' Site Plan J~eview August 20, 2004 Pa,ge 2 old conflict with the Hydrant. There is a 15" storrri sewer along the west .side of the street. The pre~'erred connection is to run the storm sewer across the street perpendicular' to the street and cut and patch the street, rather than having a long narrow cut. The outlet structure is shown as a baffled weir. This must be replaced with the city standard .submerged outlet structure. The revised utility plan is generally acceptable with the following comments: The pond outlet shows a 12" plate with a 6" orifice over the submerged end of the pipe. The orifice cannot be in an inaccessible location. The orifice should be placed in a vertical wall inside the outlet structure. The top of the wall must be high enough to provide the required rate control. Building E is more than 300 feet from the nearest fire hydrant. Please provide fire hydrants at the north and south ends of Building E and on the south side of the entrance drive opposite Setbacks: . The proposed mini-storage facilities meet or exceed the required 35-foot front and rear yard and 20-foot side yard setback requirements. City Code requires a 20 foot wide green space area adjacent to all public roads. The site plan complies with this requirement along Bunker Lake Blvd. (County Road # 116) and Unity Street. Landscaping: A revised landscaping plan, dated August 9, 2004, has been received. The revised plan does include the minimum number of required tre~s and shrubs. Furthermore, the public road frontage planting requirements are also being satisfied. All species included are acceptable and all sizes meet the minimum requirements. Staff is recommending that a portion of the spreading yews be replaced with another species to ' provide a healthier mix of plants. Also, a compact variety should be considered for the cutouts on the north side of the building. This will help reduce future maintenance of the shrubs. Another possibility would be to relocate the third row of shrubs (outer most rows) from the northern two cutouts and place them around the pond in the southwest comer of the property. 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 masonry units. The remaining buildings will be constructed with metal paneling for exterior building materials. The proposed metal paneling is a deviation ~Yom 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 site plan indicates a "dumpster" area,
