M1PH March 7, 2001 Page 3 Accessorv Structures: The plans indicate a trash enclosure on the lot behind the building. The PUD allows for a trash enclosure but no other accessory buildings. The enclosure sha11 be constructed of a masonry material io match the buiiding and shaIl have locicing or latching gaies which when closed do not offer any visibility of the dumpsters or refuse within the enclosure. Drainage and UtiliPv: The applicant has consulted with Rice Creelc Watershed District io determine if their review was necessary. Because the site area is less ihan 2,5 acres, their review is not needed. The applicants have provided detailed stozrnwater runoff data which indica�es the amount of impervious suirfcae on the site is less than what was originally proposed, and as such, will contribute less runofit thai�: was originaily expected. The proposed first floor eievation (FFE) is 912.3, which is four feet above ihe City's recommended mimimum building elevation for this site. CoYridoY Im�YOVemenis: As has been the case with previaus Highway 10 developrr�ent prajects, the City requires pravision of a 9-foot wide bituminous traiiway and decorative lights. At your last meeting, staii indicated that there have been some preliminary discussions with the developer regarding the trailway and decorative lighting. Rather �han reguiring the developer to install a traiiway along the front of this -- property that connects with no other trailway, staffproposed that the developer install a trailway fihat begins at the corner of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road and terminates at the corner of Highway 10 and Coun�y Road I. In return far the complete trail installation, staff suggesied tkzat the City would be responsible for the instailation of the decorative iights, which last year cost $5,0�0 each. In furiher consideration of this project and the Highway 10 Corridor study, sta.ff would suggest perhaps delaying the installation of both trailway and decorative iighting until the Corridor siudy has been completed, In return, staff would suggest that a cash payment be made rn lieu� of the installation of the improvements equivalent to the cost af two lights ($10,000) and 2751ineal feet of 9-foot wide bituminous trailway a# $15 per lineal foat ($4,125.) Altogether, the improvement dedication would amoun# to $14, �25. Staff would further suggest that if the improvements {ar similar improvements io beneftt the properiy) are not made within five year's time, the znoney could be refunded to the property owner. Si�na�e.- As discussed at the last rneeting, ihere would be � 32 square foot internally illuminate sign near the Highway 10 access drive built upon a masonry base with materials to match the buildizz�. The signage on the building would be individually mounted letters to read "Minnesota Institute of Public i�[ealth." The area of the building mounted signage wauld be approximately 24 square feet. f�ltogether, there would be appro�mately 56 square feet of signage for this development.
