Little Canada Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council 25 March 1981 Page Three B. Site Plan (see Exhibit C, attached) 1. Conditional Use Permit. The proposed site plan includes joint use of loading areas between buildings G and F and buildings E and D (existing). A joint use driveway is also proposed between buildings F and E. Conceptually, these joint use relationships make good sense (unnecessary duplication of pavement is avoided and more efficient utilization of available space is achieved). However, such joint use arrangements are allowed only under conditional use provisions. It is recommended that the developer be required to provide joint use and maintenance agreements which should be recorded against the titles of the property. These should be subject to review and approval by the City Attorney. 2. Driveways. While spacing of the proposed curb cuts complies with the Zoning Ordinance, two of the driveways (between buildings G and F and buildings E and D) exceed the minimum width requirement of 24 feet. In view of the fact that these driveways serve loading areas which may be used by large trucks, and since the driveways are to be used jointly by two properties, the widths shown on the site plan appear to be reasonable. Approval of these curb cuts should be subject to favorable comment by the City Engineer. 3. Parking. The following parking has been provided for each of the proposed buildings: building E - 58 spaces; building F - 49 spaces; building 0 -- 53 spaces. Required parking for each building based on office and warehouse use are as follows: Office: 3,392 - 339 (10 %) = 3,053 z 200 = 15.3 Warehouse: 23,266 - 2,327 (10 %) = 20,939: 1,000 = 20.9 Total Required Spaces 36.0 It should be noted that the parking requirement for warehouses is also related . to number of employees on a maximum shift. The difference between park- ing provided and parking required (13-22 spaces per building) should be adequate to cover employee parking. Although office and warehouses are the uses proposed for all three of the new buildings, the potential exists for the buildings to be used for manu- facturing operations which require provision of more parking than ware- housing (one space per 350 square feet). All three proposed sites appear L. 0 3 7
