Select Senior Living Staff Report August 25, 2008 Page 6 Snow Storage: All snow plowed during the winter must either be removed or stored onsite, and in such a way as to not effect adjoining property owners. If the plowed snow reduces parking on the site, or detracts from the general appearance of the site, the property owner will be responsible for off-site snow removal. Landscaping Plan: This site has quite a bit of tree coverage, but the majority of the area will be cleared for grading and construction. The applicant plans to save some of the larger trees along Groveland Road and in the northwest corner. The proposed landscaping plan includes vegetation around the entire site and walking trails, and an irrigation system, along with a six-foot wood privacy fence along the three northeast sides in order to offer some additional screening for the three neighboring homes. The entire site will be sodded and landscaped after construction is completed. The Forester is satisfied with the submitted landscape plan. Signage: According to Chapter 1008 of the City Code, this development is permitted a maximum 32 square feet of ground monument signage (excluding the sign base) plus an additional 64 square feet of building mounted signage. Staff will review all signage permits to ensure consistency with the City Code relating to signage. Lighting: The lighting plan submitted meets the city code requirements regarding glare, light spillage and foot-candle readings. Local Water Management Plan: This planning document guides the City in regards to drainage and storm water management. The development area is located in two watersheds; AA-5 and SL-1 (primarily). The minimum recommended building elevation for the AA-5 sub-watershed is 904.0 feet, while the SL-1 sub- watershed does not have a recommended building elevation. The basement/underground garage floor elevation will be at 906.4, well above the minimum. Public Works and the city’s engineering consultant, Bonestroo, are currently reviewing the plans. Stormwater Drainage Plan: The grading plan illustrates the proposed grading, drainage and erosion control for the development. The parking areas will have curb and gutter, and the developer is opting to use underground stormwater storage rather than adding ponds. This will allow more of the existing trees to be saved. All of the runoff generated from the development will be contained within the site. The applicant will be responsible for receiving approval from RCWD for this development. Wetlands: There are no wetlands for this development area. Utilities: All utilities on the site would need to be installed underground, per Section 1203.10. Water and sanitary sewer lines are already present in the right of way. The plans show the storm sewer piping that would be constructed on the site, along with one existing fire hydrant. The utilities would be installed and paid for by the developer.
