Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission 2 May 1984 Page Two A separate matter is surfacing. Prior developments have utilized gravel which quite evidently has not worked well as a site inspection of the area will document. It is suggested that a hard surface black top or concrete be required, along with grading plans to insure proper drainage. A consideration may, however, be to allow the surfacing to occur over an extended, but limited time period. For any area undesignated for parking or storage, the ordinance requires sod or grass be installed. Again, this is a minimum which should be strictly enforced. Relative to the storage area and fencing, a chain link fence is suggested as indicated on the attached site plan. The fence along Ryan Lane is limited to six feet in height. As the storage area is to be screened, a second interior screening fence is required 40 feet from the lot line. In view of this restriction, the applicant may not wish to have this portion of the site included for storage. Also, an existing chain link fence on the western border of the site appears to extend too far into the front yard, at least at its present height. For the balance of the property, a chain link fence up to eight feet in height may be utilized if it is composed of slat screens plus dense, high planting immediately adjacent (Lilac or Honeysuckle). If this design is not utilized, an eight foot wood or similar type "solid" fence is required. RECOMMENDATION Approval of this conditional use permit is recommended, subject to: 1. The Building Official confirming the number of parking spaces required and such spaces being installed per ordinance requirements. 2. Removal of one curb cut along Ryan Drive and replacing the width of the remaining curb cut to 24 feet. 3. Curbing and surfacing driveways, parking spaces and storage areas. 4. Sodding or seeding unsurfaced portions of the lot. 5. Limiting fencing within forty feet of the street lot line to six feet in height. 6. Construction of fencing to screen the storage area as discussed in the above section of this report. Any planting and arrangements should be subject to the approval of the City Planner. " - 60
