Review File: Ramsey Storage Center: Site Plan and Final Plat Page 2 of S land could be shifted south and another row of parking stalls could be added along the south wall of the building. • The northern most parking stall is within the required twenty (20) foot parking setback and needs to be moved to another location. • Depth of parking stalls shall be eighteen (18) feet. • Where will waste storage be? This must be screened from view from adjacent residential properties and public roads. Sheet C7.1 • The City's topsoil specification has been amended. Four (4) inches of topsoil is still required across all disturbed areas not otherwise improved with impervious surfacing. Topsoil shall not contain more than thirty-five percent (35%) sand content (the MnDOT Premium Topsoil Borrow is no longer required). Final Plat • Final Plat must be revised to include a drainage and utility easement encumbering the stormwater pond that will be receiving stormwater from both lots (see previously approved Final Plat for Regency Commons). Sheet L1.1 • The note referring to Tree Protection Fence in the northwest corner of the site is not pointing to anything. Adjust accordingly. Also, add the Tree Protection Fence symbol to the legend on this plan sheet. • It appears that a number of existing trees just south of the building and fire lane are now slated to be preserved. If so, Tree Protection Fence must be installed no closer than the dripline of these trees and it must be added to this plan sheet. Sheet L2.1 • Landscape Note #12 states that 14'-18' Norway Spruce or White Spruce will be spaded onto the site in various locations. Staff does not object to this but that was originally proposed by the previous developer. Since the project was sold, this needs to be confirmed with the new developer. If this is still accurate, no additional revisions are necessary. If not, this note should be eliminated and the plan sheet(s) shall be updated accordingly. • Based on building footprint (41,180 square feet) and site perimeter (1937.38 feet), the shrub calculation must be updated to 137 shrubs (41,180/300=137). Also, the bufferyard calculation must also be updated accordingly (137x0.30=41 bufferyard shrubs). • The City's topsoil requirement has been revised and no longer requires the `Premium Topsoil' but rather simply needs to consist of topsoil with not more than 35% sand content (this is an advisory comment only). • If an irrigation system is to be installed, notes must be added to the plan stating that the irrigation system requires a permit from the City and it must be equipped with both a rain sensor and some form of water efficient technology, such as a smart controller. • More than a single species of shrub should be incorporated into the Landscape Schedule to help reduce losses due to pests and/or pathogens. • Shrubs must be added to the bufferyard to enhance screening between existing residential uses and the proposed industrial use. This should include a mixture of larger deciduous and coniferous shrubs.
