The location of the building meets all required setbacks. <br />The exterior walls are proposed to be a combination of maintenance free aluminum siding and <br />decorative brick or stone on the lower four feet of the front wall. The aluminum siding is a <br />deviation from the all natural or pre-fabricated stone that Code requires. However, the <br />development is adjacent to a single family residential district and Staff is supportive of the <br />aluminum siding because it will blend well with the residential construction to the south. In <br />accordance with City Code, all maneuvering and parking areas are proposed to be paved and <br />finished with B-612 concrete curbing. The number of off-street parking spaces complies with <br />City Code requirements. The 20 feet of green space required adjacent to all public roads is <br />provided along Riverdale Drive. When a non-residential use is adjacent to a residential use, <br />Code requires screening and a 40 foot wide landscaped area. The site plan provides the 40 foot <br />'no activity' zone along the south property line. Screening is proposed to consist of a chain link <br />fence with privacy slats and tree plantings along the south property line. Staff has recommended <br />substituting a wooden privacy fence for the chain link with slats as it may be more compatible <br />with the residential neighborhood to the south. The waste storage and lighting plans comply <br />with City Code. <br /> <br />Chairperson Anderson inquired if Mr. Fritch was familiar with the Staff letter dated September <br />28, 1999. <br /> <br />Brad Fritch, Monarch Homes, replied yes. He stated that they had some concerns over the <br />request for a wood privacy fence due to the maintenance the fence would require in comparison <br />to a chain link fence. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson questioned if they would have a problem with installing a wood fence. <br /> <br />Mr. Fritch replied no, explaining they are more concerned over the maintenance. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/October 5, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
