• <br />• <br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />June 12, 2002 <br />EAM Site Plan Review <br />Parking /Access Issues <br />A new 30' wide access drive is proposed onto 4th Avenue. <br />Parking for the original building was calculated at one stall for each employee (6), with <br />nine stalls actually constructed. There are now ten employees, with proposed plans <br />showing a total of 19 stalls to actually be constructed. City Ordinance requires light <br />manufacturing areas to provide "one space for each employee or one space for each 2,000 <br />feet of gross floor area, whichever is greater." A minimum of ten parking stalls are thus <br />required for the site, calculating one stall for each employee. <br />Grading/Drainage /Utility <br />The applicant has submitted a preliminary Grading, Erosion Control and Drainage plan, <br />although some information remains incomplete, per City Engineer Jim Studenski. The <br />memo dated June 6, 2002 from Mr. Studenski to Michael Grochala details these issues <br />and is attached to this report. All grading, drainage, and utility issues must be resolved to <br />the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to any City Council review. <br />Rice Creek Watershed Recommendations <br />Rice Creek Watershed has issued a TWAFAA for the proposed project pending receipt of <br />several administrative items, including: <br />1.) Incorporation of infiltration practices. <br />2.) Existing versus proposed swale capacity narrative. <br />3.) Revegetation specifications for incorporated infiltration BMP's (best <br />management practices). <br />Lighting <br />Submitted plans show wall pack style fixtures, which do not comply with City Ordinance <br />lighting standards. The applicant has been directed to use shoebox style, no -spill fixtures <br />which will deliver meter readings within City standards ( <1 foot candle on public streets). <br />Landscaping <br />City Ordinance allows impervious surface coverage up to 90% in a General Industrial <br />Zone. No landscaping is proposed, and staff is not recommending any as the addition is <br />located behind the original structure and is surrounded by similar industrial uses. <br />Trash Enclosure <br />The trash dumpster servicing the original building is located in the area planned for <br />• expansion and, as a result, will have to be moved to a new location.
