Yes Parking requirements: Uncovered: (1.5 per unit) 6 spaces 4 spaces Yes** Covered: (1.0 per unit) 4 spaces 8 spaces Yes * Since this lot is located on the curve of a street,the lot width dimension is measured at the 30-foot building setback line. **The four extra covered spaces compensates for the reduction in uncovered spaces. Drainage: The site is flat with little if any elevation change from one end to the other. Given that, devising a • suitable plan to handle stormwater runoff becomes a challenge. Staff has review a preliminary drainage plan for the four-plex (as shown on the certificate of survey) and has found that it would be sufficient if there were no other mitigating factors. There is, however, one issue which further complicates the drainage plan, and that is the adjacent property--Woodlawn Terrace Apartments-- has extensive runoff flowing onto the applicant's property. There has been much discussion between the applicant and the adjacent property owner in an effort to resolve the drainage issues, and because many options do exist, staff feels confident that an acceptable solution will be achieved. The applicant has retained a drainage engineer who will be providing a detailed analysis of the situation and will formulate options which can be utilized to alleviate the drainage concerns. This information was not completed at the time this report was written, though should be available for your meeting on June 2, 1999. Landscape Plan: In Section 1103.08 of the City Code pertaining to Fencing, Screening and Landscaping, it states that the lot area remaining after providing for off-street parking, sidewalks, driveway, building and other requirements shall be planted and maintained in grass, sodding, shrubs or other acceptable vegetation or materials generally used in landscaping. The applicant proposes at this point nothing more than sod for the site. Staff recommends that specific plantings be shown on the final site plan in a quantity and quality that would be acceptable to both the applicant and the City. There has been some discussion about constructing a fence around the property, but at this time one is not planned. The applicant would like to be able to do so in the future if it is determined to • be necessary for security or other reasons.
