! I . - Site Plan Review: Ramsey Schwinn October 2, 1997 Page 2 of3 Setbacks: The proposed structure is subject to a 35 foot front, 10 foot side and 35 foot rear yard setbacks. It appears that the proposed location of the structure is 10 feet shy of the 35 foot rear yard setback requirement. Ifno adjustment is feasible, a variance will be necessary. Amount of Off-Street Parking: City Code requires one customer parking space for every 200 square feet of retail space. It is Staffs understanding that there will be 2,500 square feet of retail space in this building. Therefore, 13 off-street parking spaces are required and 16 are proposed. Design of Off-Street Parking, Driveways, Maneuvering and Loading Areas: While it is understood that all traveled portions of the site must be paved and finished with B-612 concrete curbing, the site plan should be modified to clearly reflect these improvements. Grading and Drainage: Only a very rudimentary drainage plan has been submitted which shows the entire site draining overland from south to north. This plan is consistent with the overall plan for the area which calls for a sedimentation pond on Lot 1 to the north of this property. The exact location of this pond has not been established. It should be noted that there is some potential to locate a portion of that pond on the northwest comer of the subject property. It should also be noted that the site is very flat and grades flatter than 1 % will likely result in pavement puddle after precipitation events which will contribute to accelerated deterioration of the pavement. The use of storm pipe may allow greater pavement slope. Architectural Standards: Building elevations are included on the site plan sheet and indicate that the building will be faced with brick. This is in compliance with City Code. Landscape and Screening Plan: Some plantings are noted on the site plan but greater detail including quantity, species and size will be required on the final plan. The final landscape plan will be subject to the review and approval of City Staff. There should be planned green space parallel to Hwy. #10 in accordance with the plans implemented by Pro Sporting Goods and Anchors Away to the east. The parcel is surrounded by commercially used property and no screening plan is required. Utilities: The site will be required to connect to municipal utilities. The developer will responsible for charges associated with connecting to these services. ~q
