5 <br /> <br />Outside Storage <br /> <br />The proposed warehouse distribution center is a permitted use in the LI district. As part of this <br />request, the distribution center is showing outside storage of trailers. The trailers would park at <br />the loading docks and the plans also show longer term parking/storage areas for trailers on site. <br />Open and outdoor storage (not outdoor sales lots) are allowed only if they meet the following <br />standards: <br /> <br />1. The designated storage area shall comply with all building setback requirements for the <br />district. Outside storage is prohibited between the principal structure and any public <br />right-of-way. <br /> <br />The site complies. <br /> <br />2. The storage area is landscaped and screened from view of adjacent uses and public <br />rights-of-way via a fence and greenbelt planting strip, in accordance with §1007.043 <br />(17)(f) of this Ordinance. <br /> <br />The plans show a security fence but no details are provided. It is unclear whether or not <br />the fence will provide any screening. The applicant shall provide more detailed <br />information. The proposed landscaping does not appear to meet these requirements. The <br />applicant should evaluate the species and ensure that full screening of the outside storage <br />areas are provided. Cross sections should be provided to show compliance. <br /> <br />3. The entire storage area is fenced and secured in an appropriate manner. <br /> <br />The plans show a security fence but no details are provided. It is unclear whether or not <br />the fence will provide the required security. <br /> <br />4. The storage area is blacktopped or concrete surfaced, unless an alternative wear- <br />resistant material is determined by the City Engineer to be suitable to control dust and <br />drainage and is specifically approved by the City Council. <br /> <br />The storage area on the south side of the building and the future storage area on the north <br />appear to be planned as bituminous pavement with curb and gutter. Detailed information <br />must be provided for review. <br /> <br />5. The storage area does not take up parking space or loading space as required for <br />conformity to this Ordinance and is not located in the front yard. <br /> <br />The storage area does not take up parking or loading space. <br /> <br />6. The property shall not abut I-35W or I-35E. <br /> <br />The property does abut I-35E and the PUD is requested to allow flexibility from this <br />requirement.
