The submittal documents contained a Site & Utility <br />sheet, a Preliminary Grading, Drainage, & Erosion Control sheet, and architectural <br />drawing sheets for the building. Based upon our review we would offer the following <br />comments. <br />Site & Utility Plan <br />1. The parking stalls that are back to back are shown as 18 feet in length and <br />must be lengthened to a minimum of 20 feet long. The 17 stalls that are <br />adjacent to the building are also shown as 18 feet long, which is acceptable <br />due to allowed overhang available from the curb. However we would suggest <br />that the sidewalk be widened to 7 feet to allow fora 5-foot walking area <br />outside of the overhang distance. <br />2. The current City ordinances require continuous perimeter curbing around the <br />parking areas. It would be our recommendation that curb be required around <br />the islands at the end of the north and south end of the parking area and a <br />curb be added to the east side of the parking area. <br />3. The current City ordinance requires curbing around all metal buildings a <br />minimum of 5 feet from the building. It would be our recommendation that <br />curb be added around the building with the exception of in front of loading <br />dock doors. <br />4. The applicant is providing 35 parking spaces and 18 proof of parking spaces <br />to demonstrate the ability to provide, if necessary, the required 53 spaces. If <br />the developer can demonstrate to the City that the 35 stalls will be sufficient <br />at this time the City Council will need to approve the reduction in parking by <br />Conditional Use Permit. <br />Llr-060408-PC <br />10062 Flanders Court NE, Blaine, MN 55449 -Phone: (763) 780-0450 -Fax: (763) 780-0452 <br />
