screened using columnar arborvitae. The existing site also has some overstory trees in the front. The trees will be removed with construction and the applicant is intending to replant trees, though the species is not noted on the plans. Additional arborvitae will be plated to continue the screening method currently used. Adequate topsoil and groundcover need to be installed for all disturbed areas. Lighting The plans submitted show freestanding lighting in a portion of the yard. The applicant has stated that there will be building -mounted lighting for the parking area. No cut sheets of the proposed fixtures were provided. All fixtures must be downcast and shielded to prevent views of the light source from off site. This will be verified at the time of building permit. Utilities The site is currently served by private utility systems that will be removed with the road project. A new well and septic system will be installed near the new building. There are no municipal utilities available to the site nor will they be extended with the road project. Storm Water Management The site currently has a basin at the northwest corner of the site that is collecting storm water. A storm pipe is being added to help move storm water away from the parking lot. Phasin It should be noted that the project will be phased in as highway and frontage road construction occurs. The new building will be constructed first with a driveway connection between the existing parking lot and the new parking lot. Then, Ferrellgas will move into their new building followed by the old building being removed. As the frontage road is constructed, access to the parking lot may alternate between the existing and the proposed driveways. Once the frontage road is complete, access will be provided exclusively from the new driveway and the old driveway and parking lot will be removed. The phasing is being done to minimize disruptions to the site. Funding Source: The applicant is responsible for all costs associated with this review.
