Automated EDM - Site Plan October 8, 2004 Page 2 of 3 Ground Cover: All unimproved areas must, be sodded. Any alternative to sod will require City Council's approval. Additionally, all landscaped areas are required to have an underground irrigation system. 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. [t appears that the site plan is proposing exterior building materials to consist of smooth face and rock face concrete masonry block and building height will be no geater than 21 feet. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored within a completely screened structure or container. Staff will assume that the addition will not relocate the existing refuse containers. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space per 1,000 square feet of warehouse floor space and one space for each 300 square feet of office space. The addition is required to provide 11 parking stalls. As part of the first phase 30 parking stalls were installe4 and only 20 were required. A total of 31 parking stalls are required to satisfy parking requirements for both phase one and two. The site plan does not propose to install any additional parking stalls as part of the construction of phase two. However, there is the ability to install an additional 19 ii' needed. The existing 30 parking stalls and 19 proof of parking stalls will satisfy parking requirements. Loading Docks: City Code requires one loading dock per 10,000 square feet of floor space. The site plan is proposing to construct an additional 11,975 square feet of building space. It appears that an additional two overhead loading areas are being provided, this exceeds City Code requirements. Lighting: No exterior lighting appears to be proposed. If exterior lighting is being considered a lighting plan must be submitted. Drainage and Grading: The subject property and adjacent property currently drain to a common pond, which occupies area on both properties. The grading plan proposes installing an outlet from this common pond into the 30 inch storm sewer located on the north side on McKinley Street. This storm sewer discharges into the regional pond located at the east terminus of McKinley Street. The elevation of this outlet will limit the 100 year event to an elevation of 863.4 which is 2.1 feet higher than the catch basin inlet on the neighboring.property's drive. This would cause water to pond briefly in a 100 year event l~br a distance of 15 to 30 feet from the inlet. The ponded area is not covered by a drainage and utility easement. The City Attorney has advised that a drainage and utility easement wo.t. dd be required if additional ponding is caused because of the increased amount of impervious area. Although an outlet will be provided which may improve the current potemial for flooding to the adjacent property, the high water level from a 100 year event will cause temporary flgoding o[ the adjacent property. Therefore as a condition of approval a drainage and utility easement should be required ~om the adjacent property over that portion of their property which would be inundated by a design storm event.
