Review File: 18-130: Bunker Lake Industrial Park Second Addition Final Plat and Site Plan Review Page 3 of 3 Landscaping. Please refer to the landscaping review memo dated August 28, 2018. 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. Plans show Cobra -style street lighting and downcast lighting attached to the proposed building. This style of downcast lighting is consistent with zoning. Building Elevations. Color building elevations have been requested as additional information. Generally speaking, the black and white elevations provided as part of the current submittal appear to meeting zoning district requirements. Parking/loading areas. Per the city code, one parking stall is required for every 300 square feet of office space or one parking stall per 1,000 square feet of industrial space. The site plan shows a 60,800 square foot building with 125 parking stalls, six (6) of which are shown as handicapped stalls. 100% industrial uses would require a total of 60 spaces whereas 100% office use would require a total of 203 parking spaces. The 125 proposed spaces is more than is required for industrial but less than for office. Staff anticipates a mixture of office/warehouse space and as such it is Staffs opinion that the proposed number of parking spaces is sufficient. Septic/Drainfield. The current plan proposes connection to city utility services as such, no septic systems or drainfields are proposed. Trash Enclosure. Exterior trash enclosure to be constructed of 8" rockface concrete block to match principal structure. Block will be capped with a metal cap. Doors of enclosure are proposed to be vertical composite wood siding over tube steel door frames. Other comments. None. Recommendation. City Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the Final Plat for the Bunker Lake Industrial Park Addition as well as Site Plan approval, with the considerations listed in this staff report, contingent upon review and approval of the civil engineering plan by the City Engineer. Next Steps. The developer will be required to enter into a Development Agreement with the City to ensure the timely construction of required improvements. The Development Agreement will also require a financial surety in the amount of 125% of the cost of required improvements. The financial surety shall be in the form of a Letter of Credit or cash escrow only. The Development Agreement will also require an Engineering Inspection Fee of 5% of the cost of required improvements. The escrow must be in the form of a cash escrow. The City will prepare a draft Development Agreement for your review once an engineer's estimate has been provided by the Applicant.
