Bruggeman Properties Page 8 of 13 As a condition of site and building plan approval however, one additional handicap parking stall (totaling three spaces) should be provided to satisfy applicable State requirements. At 18 feet in depth and 9 feet in width, all off- street parking stalls have been found to meet the minimum dimensional requirements of Section 3, Subd. 5 of the Ordinance. Likewise, the proposed 24 foot wide drive aisles also meet minimum Ordinance requirements. Interim Development Plan. As shown on the submitted site plan, it is the applicant's intent to construct a motor fuel station on the northern one half on Lot 1. While the PDO provides the flexibility to allow two principal buildings upon a single lot, some concern exists in regard to the interim improvements necessary to the northern portion of the lot (in order to provide access to the retail building from Birch Street). As a condition of site and building plan approval for the retail building, and interim development plan for the northern portion of the site should be developed and subject to review by the City Engineer and approval by the City. Landscaping. As required by ordinance, a landscape plan has been submitted for review. To be noted is that a master landscape plan encompasses the entire commercial development site (Lots • 1 -3) has been submitted. As shown on the landscape plan, a variety of trees are proposed on site. Specifically, Marshall's Ash and Goldflame Spirea have been proposed along Hodgson Road. Appropriately, screen plantings have been proposed east of the retail center to minimize the impact of the commercial use upon future adjacent medium density residential uses. Specifically, Austrian Pine, Black Hills Spruce and Redmond Linden have been proposed. • In review of the landscape plan, it appears that some landscaping has been proposed within the Hodgson Road right -of -way. As a condition of site and building plan approval, such landscaping should relocated be so as not to lie within public right -of -way. In addition, the Environmental Board has recommended the following in regard to landscaping: 1. Landscaping be provided around the perimeter of the proposed pond. 2. Ground story plantings be identified. 3. Norway Maples and Amur Maples be substituted with on- invasive species. 4. A tree inventory be submitted. 5. Additional Oak trees be planted on the east side of the retail building. 6. Oak trees be substituted for Laurel Leaf Willow on the east side of the retail building. Trash Enclosure. According to Section 3, Subd. 4.G of the Ordinance, all refuse and recyclable materials must be stored within the principal building or within an accessory structure (within a side or rear yard) that is totally screened from eye level view from neighboring uses and public rights of way.
