Review File: Trott Brook Addition (CUP, Sketch Plan, Final Plat and Site Plan) April 28, 2017 Page 4 of 4 (Preliminary Plat, and C2). There were no building elevations submitted for the proposed expansion and thus, exterior materials and height are not known at this time. Exterior Finish. City Code Section 117-114 (B-1 General Business District) outlines acceptable exterior wall finishes, which include face brick, stucco, glass, wood, natural stone, specifically designed pre -cast concrete units whose surfaces have been integrally treated with an applied decorative material or texture, or other materials as approved by the City. It is unknown what the proposed exterior materials are for the building addition. This information must be provided. Note that matching the materials of the existing building would be supported by City Staff even if not included in the list of acceptable wall finishes. Building, Parking, and Maneuvering Setbacks. The proposed building expansion appears to be meet or exceed all required setbacks. This also applied to the future expansion for the one (1) story activity center. All proposed parking and maneuvering areas must be setback from the road right-of-way at least twenty (20) feet. It appears that the proposed parking area will need to be adjusted slightly to comply with this setback requirement. That measurement should also be shown on the plan set. Wetland and Stormwater Pond Setbacks. Both wetlands and stormwater ponds require a sixteen and a half foot (16.5 feet) permanent setback around them. This area must be encumbered with a drainage and utility easement. The setback and easement should be identified on the plan set. Landscaping. One (1) tree per 1,000 square feet of building footprint is required along with one (1) tree for every ten (10) new parking stalls. It appears that there are eighty (80) new parking stalls proposed and 3,946 square feet of building expansion. A total of ten (10) new trees shall be provided as part of the project focused primarily around the parking lot. Trees shall be a minimum of two and a half inches (2.5") in diameter (deciduous) or six (6) feet in height (coniferous) and there should be a mix of both coniferous and deciduous trees installed. A landscaping plan, including planting details, shall be provided. Other Permits. The proposed project will disturbed an acre or more of land and includes a wetland delineation. A permit from the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization will be required and a copy of which must be submitted to the City.
