Review File: Danner's Cabinet Shop, Inc. (CUP and Site Plan) May 26, 2017 Page 3 of 3 No new surfacing or expansion of parking areas is proposed. Landscaping. One (1) tree per 1,000 square feet of additional building footprint is required. Staff acknowledges that there are limited planting locations available on site. However, there is space in the public road right-of-way to accommodate some plantings. This is an opportunity to provide a bit of buffer or screening for the residential lots across the street and Staff would recommend that several trees be planted in this greenspace. Trees shall be a minimum of two and a half inches (2.5") in diameter (deciduous) or six (6) feet in height (coniferous). A landscaping plan, including planting details, shall be provided. Off -Street Parking. Off-street parking requirements are based on the uses within a building. More detailed information is required (as was noted under the specific sheet revisions) to determine whether the minimum standards are being met. Note that for every 300 square feet of office space, one (1) parking stall is required and for each 1,000 square feet of industrial (manufacturing and storage), one (1) parking stall is required. The proposed building addition appears to be for office space, which would result in the need to provide for two (2) additional parking spaces in accordance with City Code Section 117-356 (b). This could be accomplished through proof of parking but must be illustrated on the Site Plan. Septic Compliance. The Applicant will need to coordinate with the Building Division to verify that the existing septic system has sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional building square footage. If not, the septic system will need to be expanded to remain compliant with local and state rules. Fire Suppression. The Applicant shall coordinate with the Building Division to determine whether the building expansion will require fire suppression. If so, that shall be addressed at the time of Building Permit application. Miscellaneous. Staff would like to recommend that in conjunction with this Site Plan that the Applicant explore enclosing or screening the garbage dumpster(s) from view from the public road and adjacent residential properties. Presently, there is a dumpster in full view from Quicksilver Street. A constructed enclosure or planting some evergreen would aid in screening the dumpster from the residential properties and from view from the public road. Other Permits. It does not appear that this project will trigger review by the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization, as it will disturb less than one (1) acre.
