• Marmon Keystone July 12, 2000 page 3 • Landscaping Marmon Keystone and TC Fab to the east are coordinating their landscape plans. The landscaping plan was not finished in time to be reviewed for this report. We expect to have the landscaping plan in time for the P & Z meeting. • Utilities Sanitary sewer and water service exist on the north edge of the site. This site should connect to the existing facilities there. (The City vacated the 74th St. right of way on May 22 but retained a drainage and utility easement.) Stormwater management on this site includes a pond shared by the property on the east. This common pond will serve both sites. Grading on this site, the TC Fab site to the east, and the unsold property to the west is interrelated. Because of this, the design and review of these two sites requires coordination. Unfortunately, the design of each site and the coordination between them is not at a point where staff can recommend approval. (City Hall lost power on Friday, July 7, due to a storm. This interfered with finalizing the City Engineer's memo. The attached memo was preliminary, but gives some indication of the unresolved issues. We will send a final memo before the meeting.) • Parking For light manufacturing, our code requires at least one parking spaces per 2000 sf of gross floor area or one space per employee, whichever is greater. The office area requires 3 spaces plus one space per 200 sf. For the purposes of calculating parking spaces, the ordinance requirement is to use 90% of the gross building area. The total requirement is 48 parking spaces. The plan shows 29, with an area provided for 24 more if additional parking is needed. This totals 53. The applicant has stated that previous experience has shown that 29 will be enough. In the interest of reducing unnecessary impervious surface, the "proof of parking" approach is a good alternative. If parking becomes a problem, additional parking will be constructed. gross area 90% code requirement required spaces total footprint 19,200 sf office 2,048 sf 1843 3 plus one space per 200 sf 12 mfg /warehouse 81,000 sf 72,900 one space per 2000 sf 36 TOTAL 48 The total requirement is 48 parking spaces.
