Site Plan Review: Northern Airgas October 16, 1997 Page 3 of4 Waste Storage: City Code requires dumpsters to be either stored indoors or in a completely screened enclosure outdoors. The location of the trash enclosure is noted on the site plan; the construction materials must be identified on the site plan to verify screening capability. Off-Street Parking and Driveways - Design: The site plan identifies that all driveways, off- street parking areas, and loading areas are proposed to be surfaced with bituminous pavement. Although it is not stated, it is assumed that the perimeter of all pavement will be finished with B612 concrete curbing. The site plan should be modified accordingly. Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one parking space for every person on the maximum working shift. The site plan identifies 57 employees and 86 parking spaces are provided. Loading Berth: City Code requires that regularly used loading berths be located on the rear wall of the structure. Because of the nature of the business, several loading docks are proposed on the west or Radium Street side of the fill plant and on the south side of the acetylene plant, which would front on McKinley Street, if it is ever extended to the east. Staff recommends approval of the loading berths as proposed provided the landscaping plan intensifies the amount of tree screening provided along Radium and the southeast corner of the site. Drainage and Grading: Sheet 4 of the submittal is a partial grading and drainage plan prepared by Larson Engineering. The general concept for area drainage was discussed with the proposer and his engineer on October 14, 1997. This plan generally consists of draining Radium Street and the contiguous industrial land with storm sewer which would discharge to a detention pond partially located on the northwestern corner of the site. An outlet from this detention pond would be located along the north and east property line of the site and discharge into the large regional detention pond located southeast of the site. An internal drainage and grading plan should be developed consistent with this scheme. A revised grading and drainage plan needs to be submitted. Architectural Standards: In accordance with City Code and the Business Park 95 covenants, the exterior of the buildings is proposed to consist of precast concrete panels. The warehouse portion of the principal building exceeds the 35 foot height limit and the applicant has applied for a variance. I~
