Ordinance 888 Page 3 d. Non-decorative exposed concrete block buildings are prohibited, as are pre- engineered metal buildings, corrugated metal-sided buildings, and wood sided buildings unless such metal buildings and wood sided buildings are enhanced on all elevations by the application of brick, decorative masonry, or decorative stucco surfaces in combination with decorative fascia overhangs and trim. Subd. 2 Architectural Design: Each building design will be reviewed for at least the following considerations: a. Appropriate location of structures on the site considering the relationship to other site amenities, restrictions, adjacent land usage, etc. b. General layout, roof treatments, proportion and quality of exterior. c. In the design of buildings or clusters of buildings, developers must orient projects so that the side(s) facing County Road 10 form the front of the project. Where front toward County Road 10 is not feasible due to the location of access roads and other site constraints, the project must be oriented and designed in such a manner so as to convey a pleasing appearance from County Road 10. d. Screening of mechanical equipment, tanks, loading docks, refuse handling, ancillary equipment, etc., whether on the roof or on the site. e. Drainage pipes on exterior building walls facing a street and/or County Road 10 must be integral to the design and non-apparent. f. Exceptions to the architectural design standards set forth in this section may be granted by the City Administrator or designee, for structures of comparable design and building materials. Subd. 3. Building and Parking Setback Requirements: Buildings and parking lots should have no more than a five (5) foot setback from County Road 10. The required setbacks for the other sides of the property will be determined by the City, based on the specific project and land usage. Subd. 4. Off-Street Parking: The City will use the off-street parking requirements in Chapter 1121.13 as a guideline, and base the final determination of required spaces on the specific project and land usage. Subd. 5. Landscaping: a. Landscaping requirements shall be in accordance with Chapter 1127, Tree Preservation and Landscaping.
