The plans indicate a recycling bin. The recycling bin must be screened. • Lighting Light fixtures will be shoebox fixtures on the building walls and in the parking and drive areas. The submitted preliminary lighting plan showing site lighting intensity indicates that the project complies with the maximum of one foot candle at the street centerline. The shoebox fixtures will ensure lighting is directed downward and not up into the night sky. The lighting plan shows one fixture on the eastern end of the outdoor storage area. The CPTED review recommends an additional fixture to allow better surveillance by police. • Signage Signage is governed by the City's sign ordinance and permits are required for all signs. All signs will be reviewed with the sign permit applications. • Landscaping Marmon Keystone and TC Fab to the east are coordinating their landscape plans. A new landscaping plan. The landscaping plan includes native and non - native plantings, plowing of compacted soils before seeding, and other elements in accordance with the environmental management plan. The Environmental Specialist's memo is attached. At the August 9 P & Z meeting, the applicant's representative expressed concern over prairie plantings in front of the building. They are comfortable with prairie on the back of the site, but would rather have a neater, more conventional landscaping appearance on the front of the new building along the street. The P & Z agreed with the applicant and recommends that the prairie plantings should not be required in front of the building. Staff is comfortable with this. • Utilities Sanitary sewer and water service exist on the north edge of the site. (The City vacated the 74th St. right of way on May 22 but retained a drainage and utility easement.) There
