4 <br /> <br />Public Utilities <br /> <br />A 12’ sanitary sewer main and 12” water main exist along Park Court and provide public <br />utilities to the site. A 6” water main and hydrant will be extended onto the site to provide fire <br />suppression to the buildings. Sanitary sewer will not be utilized by the mini self-storage <br />facility and therefore; will not be extended to the site. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation Plan <br /> <br />The Certificate of Survey identifies 160 significant trees on site. Sheet L0.0, Tree Preservation <br />& Mitigation Plan identifies the basic use area and non-basic use area. The Plan indicates 26 <br />trees to be removed from the non-basic use area but does not include calculations for <br />mitigation. The plan shall be revised to show mitigation calculations and replacement location. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br /> <br />Per Sheet L1.0, Landscape Plan, canopy coverage calculations indicate 50,420 sf of vehicular <br />hardscape which requires 20,168 sf of canopy coverage. The plan indicates 20,400 sf of <br />canopy coverage; however, coniferous trees do not provide canopy cover and cannot be <br />counted as such. The most northeast green spire tree is not within 7 feet of the vehicle <br />hardscape and can only receive 300 sf of canopy coverage credit. An 8 foot privacy fence is <br />required along the south boundary of Phase 1. Canopy trees can be planted on either the north <br />or south side of the fence provided they meet the 7 foot distance requirements. Thought should <br />be put into the location of these trees if Phase 2 is to be developed (e.g. maintain open drive <br />lanes etc). The plans shall be revised. <br /> <br />Foundation Plantings are not required for the mini-self storage facility. The ordinance allows <br />flexibility for buildings where service areas or other constraints exist. <br /> <br />Open Area Landscaping calculations indicate 7,765 sf of open area which requires 4 trees and <br />12 shrubs. Eight (8) trees are being saved in the open area and 11 shrubs are being planted. <br />The plan is one (1) shrub short. The ordinance requirements are not met. <br /> <br />A buffer and landscape screen are required along CSAH 23 (Lake Drive) along the Phase 1 <br />development. The grading and landscape plans show a 6 foot berm measured from the adjacent <br />low floor building elevation with landscaping along the east lot line. The grading plan shall <br />show how the south end of the berm will taper off into the Phase 2 area. The landscape plan <br />shall be revised to show coniferous trees along the berm to provide better screening. <br /> <br />An 8 foot high privacy fence shall be required along the south boundary of Phase 1. This will <br />be a temporary screen and can be relocated to the south property line if Phase 2 is developed. <br />The plans shall be revised and fence details provided. <br /> <br />Boulevard trees are not required for industrial developments; however, trees are proposed in the <br />boulevard to meet canopy coverage requirements. <br /> <br />Any sod areas must be irrigated. Temporary irrigation can be used if a suitable alternative lawn <br />seed or sod is used like a cultivated fescue.
