October 13, 2003 City Council Apollo Center Noises Noises emanating from any use shall be in compliance with and regulated by the MPCA, Minnesota Regulations MPC 7030, as amended, and City code. Waste Material Any waste material resulting from any use must be disposed of in a manner approved by the Minnesota State Fire Marshal, the MPCA, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Zoning Administrator. Landscaping The Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance requires that parking areas of six (6) or more spaces shall be landscaped on all sides, that for sites with 50 or more stalls, irrigated landscaped islands or peninsulas or rain gardens shall be provided at a rate of 100 square feet per 25 surface stalls, and that no landscaping or screening shall interfere with drive or pedestrian visibility. A Landscape Plan was presented as part of the overall Plan. The Environmental Review Board reviewed the Plans on July 30, 2003 (See Attachment 1). The Landscape Plan shows 20 larger shade trees and 10 additional smaller trees. The Plan also shows a number of smaller plants including asters, daylilies, hostas, rose and junipers. All sodded areas are irrigated. On September 23, 2003, city staff met with the developer and his contractor and discussed landscaping. Following that discussion, the new landscape plan removes some trees that were shown in the right of way, ash trees were added to the parking islands, and a general indication of hostas or other native plants was shown. The current plan lacks detail as to location and size, shape and color of the proposed planters. The developer should provide details as to the size, placement, shape and color of proposed planters to be used. Off Street Parking The requirements for off - street parking prescribe one off - street parking space for each 200 feet of retail space. The proposal includes approximately 12,580 square feet of retail space, which would result in the need for 63 off - street parking spaces. For auto repair establishments, two spaces per serving bay are required, which results in the need for 6 spaces (3 bays x 2 spaces). Together, the building will require 69 off - street parking spaces. The Developer is proposing 70 spaces including three ADA accessible spaces.. The Proposal meets the requirements of the ordinance.
