• • • North American Composties November 13, 2000 page 3 • Utilities The City Engineer reviewed revised plans. The attached memo indicates that some revisions will be necessary. We will require that the issues are addressed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer before site grading begins or a building permit is issued. • Parking The project includes warehousing and office space. Parking requirements must be calculated separately then totaled. For the office space, our code requires three spaces plus one space per 200 sf. For warehouse, the requirement is one space per 2000 sf plus one space for each company -owned truck. For the purposes of calculating parking spaces, the ordinance requirement is to use 90% of the gross building area. However, when the applicant's architect supplies the actual floor area, we have used that area as a more accurate indication of actual usage. This can reduce the number of required parking stalls and reduce impervious surface area. The total requirement is 29 parking spaces plus one space for each company -owned truck. The plan shows 27 spaces and three truck parking spaces. There is enough area in the southeast corner of the parking lot for several more parking spaces. The additional spaces just need to be striped. • Roads, Access, Circulation The site will gain access to Apollo Drive via a shared driveway on the east edge of the site. The driveway will be shared with Contract Hardware. The driveway was reviewed as part of the Contract Hardware review. It complies with the joint powers agreement with Anoka County that covers the number and type of accesses on Apollo Drive. Parking will be available for 18 vehicles in the front of the site. The remaining parking stalls are in the rear of the site, through a set of automatic gates. Trucks will enter the site from Apollo Drive, and drive through the gates to the loading docks. There are three loading docks and a drive -in door. • Park Dedication Park dedication will be subject to the City policy. The requirement is $133 per 1000 sf of commercial building. The footprint is 24,980 sf. Therefore, the park dedication would be $3322. actual floor area code requirement required spaces office 3,000 3 spaces plus 1/200 sf 3 + 15 =18 warehouse 22,000 1/2000 sf 11 TOTAL 29 The total requirement is 29 parking spaces plus one space for each company -owned truck.
