• Spirit Hills. Page 4 of 8 As shown in the table above, a total of 136 off - street parking stalls are required for the proposed use. Because this will be a multi -tenant building, a general parking ratio has been applied. The applicant's plan calls for 138 stalls including the gas island areas. Thirty -six (36) spaces are proposed to be constructed with a pervious Netlawn turf. The use of the Netlawn allows the applicant to satisfy parking requirements while reducing the site's impervious surface area and maximizing on -site infiltration of storm water run -off. Five handicap parking stalls are required one of which must be van accessible. These have been provided. Roads, Access, Circulation: The standards for access and traffic circulation are outlined in Section 3, Subdivision 5 of the City Code and illustrated in the table below: The subject property meets all of the requirements of this section. Two access points into the site are proposed. The northern access utilizes the existing Ware Road/Ware Circle intersection. The southern access is located approximately 220 feet north of the Ware Road/Birch Street intersection. The proposed southern access location maximizes the separation from both the Ware Road/Ware Circle and Ware Road/Birch Street intersections. The City Engineer has indicated that the proposed development will necessitate the need for a right turn lane from Ware Road onto Birch Street. Staff is evaluating this requirement in conjunction with the proposed extension of Ware Road to Hodgson Road (CR 49). A five (5) foot concrete sidewalk is proposed along Ware Road, extending from Birch Street to Sioux Lane, to facilitate pedestrian access to the site. Maintenance of the sidewalk shall be the responsibility of the commercial development. A connection to a future trail along Birch Street is also proposed on the plan. Lighting: A plan has been submitted for review. The ordinance provides for maximum lighting levels of one -foot candle at the street and 0.4 when casting light onto a residential property. Glare can be an issue from fixtures even if foot -candle measurements are met. Because of proximity to residential uses the type of fixture will be critical. The ordinance requires that light sources be hooded or controlled. The fixture proposed is a decorative, round cutoff luminaries that has the option of a solid dome or a glow dome. Staff believes all of the lights should include • a solid dome. The submitted plan does show a combination of domes.
