MIPH Report to Council March 26, 2001 Page 3 bulbs would be completely encased within a one-piece aluminum housing. The provided foot-candle readings are all within the Code requirements. Access: Access to this parcel can be achieved from the east-bound lane of Highway 10 or from Silver Lake Road. The Highway 10 access is a right-in right-out access only and does not provide for access from the west-bound lanes. The access from Silver Lake Road is a full access shared with the Holiday store and documents are on file which grants permanently access to Holiday, which was a condition of the Silverview Estates PUD. The driveway and access drive widths, turning radii and parking lot aisle widths have been reviewed by the Fire Marshal who found the plans consistent with fire department requirements. Dan Soler, the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer, has requested that the access width onto Highway 10 be thirty feet and that any work within the right of way shall require a county permit. Accessory Structures: The plans indicate a trash enclosure on the lot behind the building. The PUD allows for a trash enclosure but no other accessory buildings. The enclosure will be constructed of a masonry material to match the building and will have locking or latching gates which when closed do not offer any visibility of the dumpsters or refuse within the enclosure. Drainage and Utility: The applicant has consulted with Rice Creek Watershed District to determine if their review was necessary. Because the site area is less than 2.5 acres, their review is not needed. (RCWD reviewed the original development in 1997 and approved the overall plans and stormwater ponding elements.) The applicant has provided detailed stormwater runoff data which indicates the amount of impervious surface on the site is less than what was originally proposed, and less within the critical buffer area. As such, less runoff will be generated than was originally expected. The proposed first floor elevation (FFE) is 912.3, which is four feet above the City’s recommended minimum building elevation for this site. Corridor Improvements: As has been the case with previous Highway 10 development projects, the City requires provision of a 9-foot wide bituminous trailway and decorative lights. In consideration of the Highway 10 Corridor study, staff would suggest perhaps delaying the installation of both trailway and decorative lighting until the Corridor study has been completed. In return, staff would suggest that a cash payment be made in lieu of the installation of the improvements equivalent to the cost of two lights ($10,000) and 275 lineal feet of 9-foot wide bituminous trailway at $15 per lineal foot ($4,125.) Altogether, the improvement dedication would amount to $14,125. Staff would further suggest that if the improvements (or similar improvements that benefit the property) are not made within five
