-88- Review Letter: Panther Precision February 28, 2003 Page 3 of 4 Off-Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires one (1) parking space for every 200 square feet of office space and 1 parking space for each employee on the maximum shift for the manufacturing portion of the facility. The site plan indicates that the office area will utilize 3,245 square feet; therefore in this case City Code requires 16 off-street parking stalls. The maximum number of employees on a shift will be 12. Overall the site plan is subject to 28 off- street parking stalls and the site plan is providing for a total of 33 parking spaces. Lighting: Sheet L1 illustrates the proposed lighting plan, which proposes "downcast" wall pack lighting fixtures on all four sides of the building. Shop drawings for the Iig~ting fixtures should be submitted to the City and reviewed for acceptability with the City's commercial lighting standards. Drainage and Grading: The drainage from the building roof is directed to the eastward onto the parking lot which in turn drains to the east and north curblines of the parking .tot. A storm sewer 'lo.cated along these curblines transmits the runoff to an existing 18 inch stormpipe stubbed behind the curbline of S unwood Drive approximately 40 feet northeast of the site. The receiving storm sewer pipe was designed to handle a flow of 5.8 cfs for a 10 year storm event. If the corrugated polyethylene pipe contains a smooth interior (not clear from the plans), the flow from this development will greatly.exceed this capacity. The addition of ponding, or a direct connection to the detention pond located immediately to the east of the site, are possible alternatives which should be considered. The pipe connecting to the existing sewer also appears to fall outside the existing drainage utility easements on the lot to the west. The on site storm sewer will be the maintenance-responsibility of the property owner. A permit from the Rum River Water Management Organization will be required prior to site grading. Sheet C2 identified dirt stockpiles along the eastern boundary of the site, which are to be removed by others. The extent of the stockpile removal needs to be more clearly identilled with a boundary removal line. There also needs to be a discussion by the developer with the party responsible for the removal concerning the schedule for this work. There is a monitor/ng well owned by MpCA, which is located five feet beyond the eastern property line. The grading plan should be adjusted such that this well does not need to have its grade adjusted. If this is not possible, the developer will be responsible for adjusting the grade of this monitoring well and will require review and approval by the MPCA. Irrigation Policy: Attached to this letter is a copy of the City's commercial and industrial irrigation policy. The City requires an approved backflow and rain sensor device to be installed. It is the responsibility of the developer to contact' the City to set up a time for City staff to install an irrigation-reading device prior to the irrigation system I I I I I I I i I i i I I ! I ! I
