ZEP Manufact�uing Planning Caminission Report i Development Revierv and Parking Variance Plaraning Case No. 475-97 February 19, 1997 Page 3 Landscapin�: The siie plan shows that much of the existing tree-cover will be preserved. The following trees and pla.Y�ts are propos�d to be added to the site to compliment the existing tree4 cover: Black Hill Spruce, Hackberry, �unburst Honeylocust, and upright and spreading Japanese Yew. 4�Iith regards to the planned landscaping, City Forester Rick Wrisky thoughi the Hackberry trees were accepta6le, but considered our elz�nate tao harsh for the S�anburst Honeylocusts. He suggested Shader�zasier Honeylocusts as a substitute for these, He cautianed against using smaller ornamental trees because they may sustain damage irom plowing and other winteriime adversities. E�sting Tree Cover: The City Forester wa�ied to knovv when the developers were thinlcing of breaking g�our�d, because spring would be ihe most vulnerable time for the ex�sting trees. T'o protect the trees that are io rremain on site, the develapers should either stake out or snowfence �n area beyond which eazth-movers and other heavy equipment would be restricted, The area to be delineaied for such purpose shouid be the dripline af ihe irees praposed to be saved, which varies deper�ding upon the tree's heighi ana' canopy width. ihe onset of oak wilt couId wipe out alI of th� remaining trees if ihe tre� roots become damaged as a result of the development. Li tin The site pi�t� shows two Iight standards ai the east edge of �he parlang area fronting Coral Sea - Stre�t. Wall pack �ghting will be mounted upon the building itself with recessed lighting within the :} canopy at the build�ng's enirance. These fixtures should be mounted and shielded so that the light is casi dawnward and against the building, to prevent glare to passing motorists. Si a e: The only signage shown for the site will be the oval "ZEP" company logo attached to the upper left corner of the building's east elevation. The ovai measures approximately six %et high and nin� freet wide which is approximately 40 square feei. The �ign Code allows for a iotal of 100 square feet of wall type signage. Other Referral Agency Comments: Mark Bishop, Fire IVlarshat for Spring Lake Park/Blaine/I�/lounds View Fire Department, stated that the building needs to be served 6y adequate fire suppression equipment as required by Code. In addition, there should be an e}cterior fire department water conr�ection accessible year-round and s�ggests thai it be located on the building's sauth elevation near the service shop as shown on the site pian. With regaxds to the access and circulation oithe site, the access to the parkir�g area is shown on the site plan to be 24 feet wide. Mr. Bishop suggests this to 6e increased to 28 feet to facilitate the movements af fire trucks and oiher larger emergency vehicies.
