Review File: 17-127 : Bunker Lake Industrial Park Addition Preliminary Plat Review Page 3 of 3 Topsoil. Each individual lot shall have four (4) inches of topsoil meeting the City's topsoil specification applied to all disturbed areas not improved with impervious surfacing. It is strongly encouraged to limit land disturbance on each lot to limit the quantity of topsoil required. A topsoil inspection is required prior to landscaping being installed and copies of the load tickets are required as well. This is reviewed at time of Building Permit Application and request for Certificate of Occupancy for each individual lot. Lighting. Currently, the Preliminary Plat does not propose any new streetlighting. Cobra -style street lighting shall be include in the Site Plan and Final Plat. Building Elevations. Building elevations shall be submitted with Site Plan review. Parking/loading areas. Per the city code, one parking stall is required for every 300 square feet office space or one parking stall per 1,000 square feet of industrial space. The preliminary site plan shows a 56,000 square foot building with 105 parking stalls on Lot 1 and a 64,000 square foot building with 204 parking stalls. Both site have more parking than is required for industrial uses but less parking than would be required with if the entire building were offices. Lot 1 indicates that there will be loading areas on the north side of the building and Lot 2 shows no loading areas. Final parking and loading calculations will be reviewed during the formal Site Plan review. Septic/Drainfield. The current plan proposes connection to city utility services as such, no septic systems or drainfields are proposed. Other comments. None. Recommendation. City Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the Preliminary Plat for the Bunker Lake Industrial Park Addition and direct the Developer to proceed to the preparation of a Final Plat, with the considerations listed in this staff report, contingent upon review and approval of the civil engineering plan by the City Engineer prior to review by the City Council. Next Steps. A key decision will occur at Preliminary Plat, in which the layout and number of lots will be approved, subject to approving the Site Plan, Final Plat, Right -of -Way Vacation, and final construction plans/building permits. The City will review items including, but not limited to, Site Plan, Building Elevations, Grading Plan, Utility Plan, Landscape Plan, and Street Light Plan.
