Development Agreement: An executed Development Agreement for the site improvements will be required prior to releasing the plat for recording. Staff will review the engineering estimates once submitted by the Applicant. Site Plan Review General. The purpose of this portion of the review is to assess the submitted site plan application for Lazydays RV. The associated plans were prepared by CivilSite Group and are dated July 9, 2018. Surfacing: The Applicant is proposing a completely bituminous parking lot which is an acceptable material within the B-2 district. Waste Storage: Elevations provided show the trash enclosure to have an exterior finish of manufactured stone and EIFS that would match the primary structure as is required by the Design Framework, and Ramsey City Code. Fencing: The Applicant is not proposing any fencing at this time. Lighting: The plan set provided by CivilSite Group shows two (8) lighting fixtures. City Code requires that lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area be arranged to deflect light away from adjacent residential districts or public streets. The photometric plan indicates that no illumination will spread beyond the bounds of the site which is in compliance with City Code. The Applicant has provided shop drawings (shown to the left) of the proposed lighting fixtures which show that they are downcast in design and adhere to the City Code requirements for lighting fixture design. Parking: City Code Section 117-356 addresses commercial development off-street parking requirements. That code indicates that for 90 degree parking stalls, that the stall widths be a minimum of 9 feet wide, that the stall depth be a minimum of 18 feet deep, and that the drive aisle between stalls be a minimum of 24 feet deep. The plans provided show parking stalls and drive aisles which adhere to those dimensional requirements. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires that for motor vehicle, implement, and recreation equipment service and repair facilities there must be three spaces for each enclosed bay and one space for each full time employee. The plan set shows 20 service bays and 97 parking spots and 2 handicapped parking spots. The Applicant plans to employ approximately 30 staff members. Staff believes this is an adequate amount of parking.
