CVS Report May 24, 2004 Page 4 Landscaping: A landscaping plan was submitted on April 20, 2004. The plan calls for a total of twenty-six (26) trees and sixty-four (64) shrubs. In addition, the plan also shows118 perennials, plus mixed annuals to be added by the owner. All disturbed areas will have sod, including the area surrounding the pond. The City Forester has reviewed the plans and his comments have been incorporated into the plans. Trail: A ten (10) wide foot bituminous pathway is proposed for this site. The trail would be parallel to County Road 10, to match in with existing trails and would also continue southwest along Silver Lake Road. Although there is not a continuous trail along Silver Lake Road, there is a bus transit stop near that corner and Staff is recommending that the trail continue just past the bus stop and end at the curb cut on Silver Lake Road. Garbage Enclosure: A garbage enclosure is shown on the plans on the north side of the CVS building. The enclosure is roughly eight (8) feet in height and is located so that it will not obstruct the drive-up traffic. Specific plans for the enclosure were not submitted, however, the elevations show a material similar to chain link. Chain link fencing is not permitted enclosure material. Staff is recommending that the City require the enclosure to be constructed of the same materials as the building. In addition, there is also a compactor on site that will be screened with the same material as the garbage enclosure. Lighting: A photometric analysis of the site was submitted for review. Section 1103.09 of the Code states that all lighting shall be hooded and that any light that casts light on a public street shall not exceed one (1) foot-candle as measured from the center line of the street. In addition, it states that light cast on residential property must not exceed four-tenths (0.4) foot-candles. Although the street center line is not shown, based on measurements, Staff concludes that the foot-candle reading is no greater than four-tenths (0.4) at the Highway 10 center line and five-tenths (0.5) at the Silver Lake Road centerline. Residential property is located to the south of this parcel. While the foot-candle readings are slightly higher than what the Code allows at the property line, the Planning Commission and Staff believes the minimal light spillage would not affect the residents in that the dwellings are separated from the CVS site by the bank of garage stalls and a distance of 175 feet. The Planning Commission included a provision in Resolution 759-04 that requires the lighting to be shielded if complaints are received from residents at Silverview Terrace. While the specification of the lighting to be used is included, the pole height is not indicated and will need to be specified. Signage: A sign plan was not submitted at this time, however, the Code allows properties within the B-3, Highway Business district to have one hundred (100) square feet of wall signage per occupant and two hundred (200) square feet of ground signage per building. It appears that the signage shown on the elevation plans would exceed City allowances. The applicant has stated that a separate sign package will be submitted to the City and it will include directional signs designating the drive-up area as one-way traffic.
