Site Plan Review: Green Valley Greenhouse August 31, 2006 Page 2 of 3 Utilities: Municipal water and sanitary sewer are not available to the site. The new warehouse will be served by an existing on -site well and septic system. Setbacks: There are no commercial setback standards in the R -1 Rural Developing District The Conditional Use Permit requires a 65 foot setback of all structures from all property lines. The proposed warehouse significantly exceeds the 65 foot setback. Landscaping and Screening: The facility is located in the R -1 Rural Developing District and it would be appropriate to install some trees inside the north property line, parallel to Green Valey Road to screen the warehouse dock activity from the public road. Some of the suggested salt - hardy species include the following: Black Hills Spruce, DED. Resistant Elm varieties, Ginkgo, Kentucky Coffeetree, Ohio Buckeye, Black Walnut, Austrian Pine, N. White Cedar, Honey Locust, Catalpa. Tree Preservation: This site is devoid of any significant tree cover and therefore, no tree preservation plan is necessary. Waste Storage: City ( Code requires dumpsters to be either stored indoors or in a completely screened enclosure outdoors. If the waste storage for this warehouse is to be conducted outdoors, the site plan should be modified to . describe the enclosure that will provide 100 percent screening. Off- Street Parking and Driveways - Design: The site plan identifies that the driveway to the warehouse will be a combination of concrete and bituminous, which is in accordance with City Code. It appears that the new driveway will connect with an existing gravel drive aisle, which then connects to a bituminous access onto Green Valley Road. The section of gravel drive aisle must also be resurfaced with_ bituminous or concrete. The perimeter of all pavement must be encompassed with B -6/12 concrete curbing. The site plan does not identify the use of concrete . curbing along the proposed access to the building. Off - Street Parking - Spaces Required: The site plan is not proposing an increase to the employee parking lot. The plan submitted does not indicate the number of existing employee parking spaces or whether the new warehouse will result in an increase in the number of employees. This site should have at least one parking space for each employee on the maximum working shift. Confirmation of adequate parking spaces requires information regarding existing number of employees on maximum shift, number of new employees proposed with expansion, existing number of off - street parking spaces. —168_
