GREEN AREA: A minimum green area of 10% is required by the Zoning Ordinance. This will be met with the proposed site plan and future expansion area. OFF-STREET PARKING: Eight parking stalls will be provided and include one handicapped van space. The proposed construction based on the number of employees actually requires six. CIRCULATION AND ACCESS: One 26 -foot wide access drive off of 4th Avenue is indicated on the site plan. Since there will be no access to Apollo Drive, the drive is not subject to review by Anoka County. The final driveway location is subject to review by the city engineer before issuance of a building permit. LANDSCAPING: The landscaping plan submitted shows a variety of decorative trees and shrubs along 4th Avenue and in front of the building, plus several pine trees to be used for screening the parking area from 4th Avenue. The Community Service Officer has recommended the pines be replaced with decorative trees so that the area is not totally screened from view. LIGHTING: A detailed lighting plan was not submitted. We would recommend that a plan be provided and reviewed by our Community Service Officer to ensure compliance with CPTEI5 commendations prior to issuance of the building permit. LOADING AND TRASH HANDLING: The trash handling area was not included on the site plan. It is proposed to be located and screened on the northeast side of the building on the concrete pad. SIGNS: All signage must conform with the city Sign Ordinance. UTILITIES AND DRAINAGE: Plans for utilities, drainage and site grading will be subject to review and approval by the city engineer. Utilities will be available to serve this site. The RCWD must also review and approve drainage, ponding, and grading plans. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: No hazardous materials are used on the site. An underground storage tank shown on the site plan contains water for testing equipment. ROOF TOP HEATINGNENTILATING UNITS: No roof top units are involved in this construction project. Staff would recommend approval of this site plan review with the following conditions: 1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to any construction on the site. The building permit shall include a deposit of 1% of construction costs to ensure completion of all site improvements. 2. The applicant sign a development agreement and post financial guarantees as specified by the city prior to issuance of the building permit.
