The E-1 district allows a maximum lot coverage of 45%. The Applicant is currently showing a lot coverage calculation of 54.7% (which includes parking surfaces and buildings). However, the building coverage, including the two (2) `future' buildings, is well below the 45% threshold. Setbacks: The required setbacks are outlined below.

The building elevations show a mixture of brick;; .nry block, glass, colored metal paneling, and stucco. The E-1 District allows for the following mat ials: Face brick; Stucco; Glass; Wood; Natural Stone; specifically designed pre -cast concrete units whose surfaces have been integrally treated with an applied decorative material or texture; and other materials as may be approved by the City. The identifiable materials of brick, masonry block, stucco, and glass meet the requirements of the zoning district. Staff finds the proposed materials of colored metal paneling to be acceptable and provides an additional aesthetic element an'o1or to the facade. Revised building elevati s show that the parapet wall has been increased in height to provide for area that a sign reading "National Self Storage" could be mounted. Staff would like to work with Applicant to try and reduce the added height from the parapet wall as it appears that the sole purpose of it is to provide additional space for signage. Streets: Sheet C.2 shows a singular access onto Ramsey Boulevard NW (County Road 56). This access is acceptable to the County. Previous plans for a mini storage facility on this site have shown a cul-de-sac constructed at the current termination of 148t' Avenue NW. A cul-de-sac is no longer being shown as a result of discussion between the Applicant and the City. The City's Public Works Superintendent offered the following proposal, which the Applicant was agreeable to; however, the plans to date do not reflect the proposed improvements. In place of the cul-de-sac at the end of 148t' Ave, the City would accept the following improvements, installed and paid for by the Developer, included in the project:
