facilities are a permitted use. The office facility will consist of two levels, the first floor will be 9,379 square feet in size and the second floor will contain 2,956 square feet for a total office building area of 12,335 square feet. The proposed building exceeds the required front, rear and side yard setbacks established in the B-1 Business District. City Code restricts lot coverage to 35% of the lot area; the site plan is proposing a 16% lot coverage. In accordance with City Code, all driveways, off-street parking and maneuvering areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous pavement and finished with B-6/12 concrete curbing. City Code requires a minimum of 55 parking spaces for the proposed office facility. The site plan is proposing 62 customer and employee parking stalls. City Code specifies that exterior wall finishes shall consist of natural or prefabricated brick or stone or integrally treated pre-cast concrete panels or other materials as approved by City Council. The building elevation plan indicates that the exterior wall materials will consist of rock face concrete block and vinyl siding. The proposed concrete block should be integrally treated with color. The proposed vinyl siding is a deviation from City code and will require City Council approval. The grading plan is proposing to excavate and utilize City owned property located to the north of the subject property. The proposed drainage plan would be maximizing the ponding capacity on City property and, therefore, limiting future development's drainage options. The development is proposing to derive one access point from 153rd Avenue, no access points will be derived from State Highway #10. Staff sent a copy of the proposed site plan to MnDOT for their review and comment since the parcel boarders State Highway #10 along the southern edge of the boundary line. Urban Services are not available to the site and the facility is proposed to be served by an on-site septic system. The development permit has been drafted to reflect the draft comprehensive plan's policy statement requiring commercial developments to connect to urban services when available, in the event that the comprehensive plan is adopted. The Landscaping Plan meets City standards. The Planning Commission reviewed the site plan on June 5, 2001.
