1qw� Little Canada Planning Commission 17 October, 1978 Pbge Two 3. The applicant has agreed to give the buildings any face treatment the Planning Commission might recommend including brick veneer or stucco. At the last Planning Commission meeting, stucco was discussed in order to complement the existing office buildings to the north. 4. The proposed buildings would screen the existing office buildings from the industrial use to the south. 5. According to the applicant, the proposed use would be of relatively low intensity and traffic would be less than other commercial uses which might be allowed. 6. The east end of the property consists of a hill with some vegetation existing. In discussing the project with the applicant, he appeared to be agreeable to maintaining at least part of the hill and vegetation to screen the proposed buildings from the residential property to the east. 7. A driveway from Park Street would be necessary as Park Street is the only dedicated street upon which the property in question abuts. It is suggested that the driveway be located as close to the south property line as possible in order to maintain as much of the existing hill as possible. 8.. While technically, the property fronts on Park Street, the City may wish to consider requiring the applicant to use the private road on the west for primary access to the property. This would mainly amount to signage, but is seen as reducing the traffic on Pbrrk Street and the resulting impact on the adjacent residential property. 9. The plan which was submitted complies with setback requirements for a B-2 district. 10. The plan does not include a parking scheme. While the amount of paved surface is considered ample for temporary parking of vehicles during loading or unloading, some parking should be designated for the proposed offices. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 space for every 150 square feet of floor area. The area designated as office space contains 1,800 square feet, requiring 12 parking spaces. 11. A grading plan showing drainage and including a satisfactory berm (hill) on the east side of the property should be submitted.
