Item 05B <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Building Location Minimum Setbacks: <br /> <br />North: 30’ <br />East: 5’ (maximum) <br />South: 20’ setback from drive lane. Rear setback equal to the <br />building height from south property line.4 <br />West: 30’ <br /> <br />Staff Comments: The east 5’ setback may not be practical <br />because of buffer needed between the trail and landscaping, to be <br />used for snow storage. This will be addressed during the grading <br />plan review (Preliminary Plat stage). <br /> <br />Access Primary entrance will be from Edgewood Drive. Optional <br />secondary access from Greenfield Ave. <br /> <br />NOTE: Planning Commission should comment on access options. <br /> <br />Staff Comments: Staff does not recommend that a traffic study <br />be required, because no access is proposed onto Mounds View <br />Blvd, nor Co Rd H2 (options are limited). <br /> <br />Sidewalk to be added along Co Rd H2, with buffer between it and <br />the street. The hammerhead dead-end on Greenfield Ave needs <br />to accommodate backup movement of fire truck/vactor truck. <br />Dimensions need to be confirmed, but generally allow for 50’ X 20’ <br />area. <br /> <br />Landscaping A minimum of 15% (0.5 acres est.) of the property must be <br />landscaped open space.5 The amount proposed is not known. <br /> <br />Plantings (est. minimum): <br /> <br />84 Overstory deciduous shade trees <br />84 Coniferous trees <br />152 Understory shrubs 6 <br />23 Ornamental trees7 <br /> <br />Staff Comments: It is not likely that this amount of plant material <br />will fit on the site. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />4 City Code, Section 1120.03, Subd 1(d) (Yards) <br />5 City Code, Section 1129.05, Subd 5(b) (Landscaping) <br />6 One (1) understory shrub for every three hundred (300) square feet of building (i.e. 45,520 sf building area / 300 <br />sf = 152 shrubs) or one (1) shrub for every thirty feet (30’) of site perimeter, whichever is greater (i.e. 1,973’ <br />perimeter / 30’ = 66 shrubs). <br />7 One (1) ornamental tree for every two thousand (2,000) square feet of building (i.e. 45,520 sf building area / <br />2,000 sf = 23 trees) or one (1) ornamental tree for every two hundred feet (200’) of site perimeter, whichever <br />is greater (i.e. 1,973’ perimeter / 200’ = 10 trees).
