Landscaping. The southern boundary area adjacent to the existing office /warehouse building is proposed to be bermed and landscaped to screen the two projects from each other. The landscaping in the parking lot meets the minimum requirement of the landscape ordinance. However, some concern is raised regarding the screening along the eastern property line within Phase 2 of Development. Given the fact that east of the subject site is a single family residential area, screening along the eastern property line is very important, as such, the applicant may wish to consider increasing the density of evergreen trees or at least staggering the trees to create a "wall" of screening. Further the coniferous trees will only serve as an adequate screening material for six months out of the year, therefore, additional evergreen may be necessary west of the proposed coniferous trees to provide for year -round screening. Trash Handling. The new plans appear to locate trash handling equipment within the proposed buildings, rather than next to the detached garages that have been removed from the site plan. Signs. The sign plan appears to be generally the same as the previous plans, with wall sign identification on each building, and a pylon sign near the entrance drive. NSP Easement. One storage garage and dumpster area is shown on the future Phase 2 plan, which appears to be consistent with the documentation provided with the plans. This area is located within a 225 -foot wide NSP easement, which overlays the southern two - thirds of the site. As noted in our office's review of previously submitted PUD plans, Ms. Judy Slavik of NSP has indicated that the erection of structures within the easement is strictly prohibited. As such, the applicant should provide documentation that the location of such structures is acceptable to NSP or the garage and dumpster should be either relocated or removed from the Phase 2 plan. Drainage Easement. Currently a 20 -foot wide drainage and utility easement subdivides the eight building sites into eastern and western halves. Such easement is not, however, illustrated upon the final plat. If the said easement is to be vacated it must be found to be acceptable by the City Engineer. Property Owners Association. According to the Zoning Ordinance, common open space provided as part o a PUD may be placed under the ownership of a property association provided a specific set of conditions are met. As a condition of development/final plan stage PUD approval, a declaration of covenants should be submitted and subject to review and approval by the City. 2 Page 2
