• • • Summit Fire Protection February 7, 2001 page 3 constructed of a mix of pre -cast concrete panels, rockface masonry veneer, and aluminum framed glass windows. The office section will also have pre - finished metal canopies over all entrances. Trash Enclosure: The applicant's plans indicate that all trash and recycling containers will be stored inside the principal structure. Lighting: The applicant's plans did not include a detailed photometric plan. The site plan does show shoebox light fixtures both on the building and in the parking area. Staff recommends that a condition of approval require the applicant to submit a detailed photometric plan prior to City Council review. Signage: Signage is governed by the City's sign ordinance and separate permits are required for all signs. All signs will be reviewed with the sign permit applications. Landscaping: The applicant's landscape plan presents a varying mix of coniferous and deciduous plants, trees, and shrubs. Most notably, the applicant's plan calls for a native mix of prairie grasses and wild flowers throughout the site. Typical turf grass will only be used along the front of the building. The prairie mix can grow as high a five feet and will have a very natural appearance. The applicant must submit a maintenance plan for the native prairie grasses. In general, the trees and shrubs should provide an effective screening of the front of the building and loading areas. However, the applicant should add screening along the western side of the site to screen the loading areas from the adjacent residential use. In addition, should the applicant decide to construct the future parking stalls along the western side of the site, they will need to add landscaping to screen it from the adjacent residential use. Utilities: According to the applicant, sanitary sewer and water service will come from the existing sewer and water mains constructed as part of the Marmon/Keystone site to the east. Water access will be stubbed across Apollo Court and split to serve both Summit Fire Protection site and the parcel to the north. Stormwater runoff from the subject property will be stored and treated on site. All utility plans are subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. Parking: The standards for calculating the off - street parking requirements for office and warehouse uses are outlined in Section 3, Subdivision 5 of the City Code. For the purposes of calculating parking spaces, the ordinance requirement is to use 90% of the gross building area. Gross Area 90% of Gross Area Code Requirement Required Spaces Office 9,636 Sq.
