A summary of some of the background data for the project are subsequently outlined. Wetland Impacts On Monday, April 2, 2018, the Hugo City Council approved the Wetland Determination. Three wetland areas were identified during the 2016 wetland delineation. There are no proposed impacts to the large wetland complex (Wetland 3) on the western portion of the Site. Wetlands 1 and 2 are described as shallow marsh wetlands. The proposed wetland impacts consist of approximately the entire Wetland 2 (1.14 acres or 49,800 SF) and 0.44 acres or 19,300 SF of wetland area from Wetland 1. Proposed wetland impacts total 69,100 SF or 1.58 acres. The Applicant is proposing mitigation at a 2:1 ratio through the purchase of 138,200 SF or 3.16 acres of wetland credits from Wetland Bank 1522. Parking The parking counts shown throughout all phases of site plans are based upon an anticipated maximum Schwieters' employee count of 50 persons per shift, with a shift overlap potentially requiring parking accommodations for 100 persons. We have also designed the future phases site plans with the understanding that parking would be shared throughout all facilities on the site (with the necessary cross easements) and that parking count minimums required by Hugo's zoning code be met through areas of deferred parking. Our goal in using deferred parking is to demonstrate the ability of the site to accommodate a potential future change in ownership or use which would require additional parking. The deferred parking shown on the site plans indicate areas that could meet required zoning. For the phases shown, the minimum counts required by Hugo's zoning code represent a number far beyond anything that Schwieters will require. Future buildings are proposed to be office warehouse type usage with minimal staffing. Should the intended use change at the time of the future development, the parking capacity and design would be revised to meet that use. Phasing Phase 1 consists of the 144,000 square foot (136,000 SF footprint) combined manufacturing and storage building, the parking lot to the east of the building, raw material storage north of the building, finished product to the south, as well as all storm features and sanitary and water mains and services. Two connections to Fenway Boulevard are proposed at locations deemed to be aligned with the existing accesses or spaced appropriately. Sanitary, water and storm stubs will be placed during Phase 1 to save costs and limit site impact when Phases 2 and 3 occur. Phase 2 consists of a proposed 45,000 square foot storage building on the NW corner of the site. Phase 3 consists of two proposed office/warehouse combination buildings, one each on the NE and SE corners of the site. Please see architectural plans for details on future site phasing. Plan Set Purposes The goals and purposes of the Architectural and Civil plan sets differ and therefore minor differences in the content of the plans exist. The aim of the Civil design and plan set is to design the stormwater treatment facilities on site to have the capacity to treat the maximum possible SCHWIETERS EXPANSION PROJECT NARRATIVE PAGE 2 OF 3 AMI PROJECT # 171316
