Realife Cooperative of Mounds View PUD Amendment& Development Review June 17, 1998 Page 3 Parking: The parking in front of the building has been rearranged so that there are 21 stalls, each 9.0 feet by 18.0 feet. Of the 21 stalls, four would be handicapped van accessible. Inside the building, there would be 78 parking stalls, one more than the number of dwelling units. All together, a total of 99 parking stalls would be provided. The PUD currently requires a minimum of 89 parking stalls, or 1.15 stalls per dwelling unit. There will be overflow parking available in the office parking lot behind the senior building, which is guaranteed through recorded cross- access driveway and parking agreements. Utilities: There are no changes proposed on the site with regard to utilities. The drainage on the Silver Lake Road side of the complex will collect in the graded parking area and will be diverted through two catch basins into the NURP pond. From the NURP pond, the outlet will drain the filtered runoff into the wetland by means of a storm sewer. On the other side of the complex, the runoff will be filtered through the grass before reaching (1) the private drive, (2) the larger of the two NURP ponds behind the building, or(3) the wetland area. The amount of runoff entering directly into the wetlands should be minimal and will have been filtered by the lawn and natural area. The Fire Marshal has reviewed the revised plans and has indicated that a fire hydrant will need to be installed on the east side of Silver Lake Road. His memo is attached for reference. Landscaping: The landscape plan has been forwarded to the City forester for his review. On the whole, the landscape plan and planting schedule is acceptable, according to Forester Wriskey. The only change he would recommend is to substitute Red Splendor Crab trees for the Radiant Crabs, which are susceptible to disease in the summer months. Access: The access to the site will remain the same--two drive aisles off of Silver Lake Road. The only change to the site plan with regard to access or circulation is that the senior building no longer has access to the internal private driveway, which eliminates possible traffic conflicts. Access and grading permits will need to be obtained through Ramsey County before any City building permits can be issued. Lighting: The lighting plan submitted shows three light standards in the parking lot with 250 watt bulbs and nine bollard type fixtures along the walkway fronting the building. The bollard lights are shown to be three and one-half feet high. The footcandle diagrams satisfy the requirements of the Code. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission, at its meeting on June 17, 1998, voted unanimously to recommend approval of the PUD amendment and Development Review, as indicated in Resolutions 552-98 and 553-98, which are attached for your reference.
