Site Plan Review: Sunfish Development, LLe July 27, 2007, revised September 7, 2007 Page 3 015 property as well as an access easement. Both proposed easements have been submitted to the City. Lighting: A lighting plan should be submitted City standards require that the luminaire (light source) must not be visible from beyond the property line. The Planning Commission expressed concern over the lighting of this site at their meeting on November 2, 2006. A lighting plan, including shop drawings for any ne'w lighting fixtures must be submitted to the City for approval prior to installation. Signage: Any new signage on the property will require a sign permit, which is approved separately from the site plan. Landscaping: The review of the landscaping plan, dated August 20, 2007, focuses solely on the southern lot, which is the lot currently subj ect to site plan review. Proposed landscaping for the northern lot will be reviewed as part of the site plan review process when that site is improved. The revised landscaping plan is generally acceptable with the following comments: · Parking lot plantings are required to have a minimum planting area of at least 162 square feet. All three planting islands appear to be too small. The area of these islands must be calculated and included on the landscape plan to verify adequate soil volume. · Trees should be planted at a depth such that the root flare is at finished grade. · At installation, do not prune any branches unless they are broken or deformed (do NOT prune' 1/3 of foliage as shown in the tree planting detail). · Any pruning cuts that are necessary shall be made just outside the branch collar, NOT flush with bark. . Ground Cover/Irrigation Requirements: City Code requires all areas not otherwise improved to be established with sod and be irrigated. Any deviations from the sodding/irrigation requirement will require City Council approval. The proposed irrigation system will need to be reviewed by the City Engineer. The irrigation system will need a dedicated service(s) that must be shown on the utility plan. Please submit details regarding the utilities for such a system. Architectural Standards: Within the B-1 Business District, exterior wall finishes on buildings must consist of brick, stucco, glass, wood, stone, pre-cast panels whose surfaces have decorative material or texture, or other materials as approved by the City Council. The site plan indicates the use ofrockface concrete, aluminum, glass, and stucco. 'Waste Storage: City Code requires waste storage facilities to be enclosed. The submitted plan proposes two trash enclosures. Loading Docks: One loading dock IS required for this development, unless otherwise approved by City Council. -155-
