WHEREAS, the City Council does hereby find that the landscape plan as proposed

future park developments on adjacent land.

ponding plans, and the proposal for wetland mitigation; and,
WHEREAS, the City Fire Marshal has reviewed the site plans and finds the layout meets
Fire Department requirements for emergency vehicle access; and,
WHEREAS, the approximately 40 square feet of signage indicated on the site plans is
within the 100 square feet allowed by the Municipal Code.

3. Prior to obtaining any building permits or grading permits, the applicant shall install
protective fencing around those areas where trees are to be retained. The area shall be of
sufficient width so as to protect the trees' root systems. The installation of fencing shall be
supervised by the City Forester to assure its effectiveness. The use of heavy equipment or
construction activity shall be prohibited in these areas, and the property owner/developer
shall be responsible for making certain these restrictions are enforced.

construction period, in accordance with standards established by the Rice Creek Watershed
District.

follows:

Show Honeylocust Shademaster trees in place of the Honeylocust Sunburst trees.
b.
Add a note to the site plan which states:
"A variance in required parking ratios was approved for this property by Planning
Commission Resolution No. 499-97. The parking ratios approved for this property are as
follows:
1 space per 1000 square feet of warehouse space
1 space per 250 square feet of office space
The property owner is obligated to build up to an additional 33 parJ..:ing spaces, which
would meet the parking ratios required by the Zoning Code, if deemed necessary by the
City based on fUture parking patterns, use of the building, and evidence that parking
needs cannot be satisfied on site. The property owner shall be notified in writing that
additional parking must be built, and upon such notice, shall construct the additional
parking within 3 months, with consideration for weather conditions. "
