Western Spring Site Plan Page 5 Trails There is a City trail on the west side of Fenway Boulevard North. The applicant is not proposing any sidewalks or trails with this development. Building Architecture The building material for the Western Spring facility consists of precast tip -up concrete panels. The intent is to ensure the building is constructed of quality materials that require minimum maintenance. The applicant has provided elevations that show colorations that include buffs, tans, browns, and reds. The concrete panels are proposed to have an aggregate panel texture. These elements, the addition of windows on all elevations, and the use of awnings on the north elevation, visually break up the massing of the building walls. It is in staff's opinion that the proposed building is well designed and appealing and meets the Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines. Signage The applicant is proposing a sign on the west elevation of the building. Staff has discussed with the applicant that a sign permit application will be required before the installation of any sign on the property or building. It has been added as a condition that a sign permit application will be required to be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to any sign installation. DrainagelGrading The property is within the drainage area of the Bald Eagle Industrial Park Pond project completed when the Industrial Park was developed. As a result, a portion of the stormwater storage and treatment requirements are met. The rules of Rice Creek Watershed District for Stormwater Management (in addition to City requirements) apply to the site. The applicant has proposed an infiltration basin and a pretreatment basin to address these requirements. The basin has been sized to accommodate the proposed building, and all parking areas, including the proof of parking. The infiltration basin would hold and additional 0.9 acres that may be used with future building expansion. City staff will continue to work with the applicant to address technical design and other minor issues, which generally will not affect the site plan, as the project moves forward. The City stormwater trunk fee will apply to these parcels, and will be calculated and collected at the time of building permit. The applicant has proposed an outlet located on the southern property line. This outlet is proposed to collected drainage from the proposed site as well as a site the applicant owns along 130th Street North. Because of this, staff has required the applicant to draft and execute a stormwater drainage and maintenance agreement between the two parcels, which will be added as a condition of approval.
