City Council Meeting July 8, 2002 EAM Site Plan Review Parking/Access Issues A new 30' wide access drive is proposed onto 4th Avenue. Parking for the original building was calculated at one stall for each employee (6), with nine stalls actually constructed. There are now ten employees, with proposed plans showing a total of 19 stalls to actually be constructed. City Ordinance requires light manufacturing areas to provide "one space for each employee or one space for each 2,000 feet of gross floor area, whichever is greater." A minimum of ten parking stalls are thus required for the site, calculating one stall for each employee. Grading/Drainage/Utility The applicant has submitted a preliminary Grading, Erosion Control and Drainage plan. City Engineer Jim Studenski reports that all grading and drainage issues have been resolved to his satisfaction. Rice Creek Watershed Recommendations Rice Creek Watershed has issued a TWAFAA for the proposed project pending receipt of several administrative items, including: 1.) Incorporation of infiltration practices. 2.) Existing versus proposed swale capacity narrative. 3.) Revegetation specifications for incorporated infiltration BMP's (best management practices). Lighting Submitted plans show wall pack style fixtures, which do not comply with City Ordinance lighting standards. The applicant has been directed to use shoebox style, no -spill fixtures which will deliver meter readings within City standards (<1 foot candle on public streets). Landscaping City Ordinance allows impervious surface coverage up to 90% in a General Industrial Zone. No landscaping is proposed, and staff is not recommending any as the addition is located behind the original structure and is surrounded by similar industrial uses. Trash Enclosure The trash dumpster servicing the original building is located in the area planned for expansion and, as a result, will have to be moved to a new location. Original plans
