the District and should be oriented towards this green strip. The commercially zoned land may be allowed to develop as such, however, all commercial use should orient towards Country Drive in order to facilitate screening and landscaping and minimize traffic impact on the residential uses west of Condit Street. The Phase II proposal shows commercial use over the entire parcel and all is oriented to use Country Drive. 'Development Plans. Phase II, as shown on Exhibit B, illustrates a single 19,500 square foot office /showroom /warehouse lying on a 1.2 acre site. The plan also illustrates the general configuration of a future 12,200 square foot office /warehouse structure to the north as a future phase. Access. The site plan shows two curb cuts for access to the building. The southern cut is for two -way traffic and is shown to be 26 feet wide. Any curb cut in excess of 24 feet requires City Engineer approval. The curb cut is at least 40 feet from Nadeau Road. The north curb cut is designed to be one -way only to provide proper truck circulation to the loading bays. Loading Areas. As presented in the concept plan, Building 3 (Phase II) did not define the specific location of loading areas. Upon the development of these future phases, the site plans were to include all loading spaces. Phase II has defined loading spaces and shows two loading bays on the north side of the proposed building. Circulation patterns show entrance via the southernmost curb cut. The trucks will circle the building and then back into the loading bays. Trucks pull directly out onto Country Road via the one -way curb cut. This circulation pattern appears to work adequately and will discourage trucks stopping on Country Drive and backing into loading bays, temporarily blocking the street until this maneuver is complete. With the loading as now defined on site, it is noted that additional curbing and landscaping will be required. According to the City Ordinance, all paved surfacing must be surrounded by a five foot perimeter curb. A perimeter curb must be installed along the north side of the new building between the paved loading area and the property line. The site plan shows 17 feet in width of maneuvering space between the building and the property line. The required perimeter curb will cut this width down to 12 feet which does not appear adequate for tractor - trailer maneuvering. 2 Page 48
