parking spaces are provided and all traveled surfaces of the lot will be paved with bituminous. With exception of a parking lot expansion area in the northeast comer of the parking lot, all bituminous surfaces are proposed to be finished with B 612 concrete curbing. Staff has recommended that the parking lot expansion area be finished with a bituminous berm. The landscape plan consists of transplanting 11 coniferous trees to the west property line and adding four maple trees and three flowering crab trees along the west elevation of the building. Staff has recommended the addition of five deciduous trees and 30 shrubs to the landscape plan and the applicant has modified the plan accordingly. The grading plan is being modified per the City Engineer's comments in the City Staff Review Letter. The lighting plan is in compliance with City Code. Mayor Gamec questioned if the site plan is going to comply with future setback requirements for the T.H. #47 expansion and a turn lane. City Engineer Jankowski responded that they are required to have a State permit and those items should be included. Councilmember Zimmerman questioned how the Storm Water Management Fee was figured. City Engineer Jankowski replied that it was determined by looking at the ranking that is set forth in the ordinance and compares the mn-off to three times the rate of a single-family residence. Councilmember Hendriksen questioned if all drainage will be kept on the property. City Engineer Jankowski reviewed the drainage of the property and explained that a portion of the drainage could run off the property. Councilmember Hendriksen questioned if it meets the requirements that would be imposed on other structures to which Mr. Jankowski replied yes. Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman to table the item for confirmation that all drainage is kept on the property, that the entrance to the church will align with 172~a Avenue, and verification that any additional requirements from MnDOT can be met. Further discussion: Jay Snyder stated that his only concern with tabling the item is that they are trying to get the project started by August. Councilmember Hendriksen questioned if they have any problem with making the changes that have been suggested by the Council. Dave Erichsmoen, the architect/contractor for New Life Church stated that the alignment of the road with the church entrance is not a problem and can be easily changed, the storm water will be contained on the property, and MnDOT has received the plans for approval and the church will adhere to the requirements of MnDOT. Mr. Erichsmoen questioned if the Council would make a motion to approve the site plan contingent upon compliance with the matters stated so that the City Council/July 13, 1999 Page 10 of 18
