LandCor Report June 9, 2003 Page 2 2A. Parking The PUD establishes the parking requirement for an office use at one space per 250 square feet. The proposed office would consist of a maximum 15,000 square feet of gross space. With that much area, a total of 60 parking spaces would be required. ADA requirements indicate that of the 60 spaces, three need to be handicap accessible. The plans show a total of 64 spaces, three of which are marked handicapped. The plans are consistent with the PUD and with City Code. 3A. Access & Circulation There is one access driveway shown from Long Lake Road; no access is shown onto County Road 10. The absence of an access onto County Highway 10 is consistent with the goals established in the corridor redevelopment and revitalization plan adopted by the City Council. The Long Lake Road access is offset to the north of Moundsview Drive by about 100 feet. No traffic conflicts would be anticipated because of this. The circulation within the development is good and there is sufficient space in the drive aisles and adequate space provided to back out of all parking spaces. 4A. Lighting The applicant has submitted a photometric analysis of the site and the foot-candle readings comply with Code requirements. The plans do not, however, indicate pole height or provide a graphic of the fixtures to be used. These should be added to the final plan set provided to staff upon City Council approval. The attached resolution includes this provision. 5A. Drainage The plans indicate that the site would be serviced by a series of catch basins linked together by a storm sewer which empties into the existing NURP pond at the rear of the property. (The existing pond was constructed with the original development to accommodate the future build-out of the site. Permits do however need to be obtained from Rice Creek Watershed District before the City will issue any building permits for the project. The applicant and any utility subcontractors shall meet with the Public Works department for final utility plan approval. 6A. Garbage Enclosure As shown on the site plan, the garbage enclosure would be located on the south side of the property. No details were provided regarding the enclosure’s construction, however the PUD indicates that the enclosure shall be of the same construction as the building with solid, opaque, latching gates. The developer confirms that this is their intent. Chain link is not an acceptable gate material. The details should be added to the final plan set provided to staff upon City Council approval. The attached resolution includes this provision.
