TGK Auto Site Plan Phase II Page 3 Lighting There are no new light poles proposed for the site, however, there are exterior wall lights proposed for the side of the building. The lights are proposed to be downcast fixtures. Staff will continue to work with the applicant on the fixture types and locations to ensure that they are directed away from the properties to the east. All lighting for the project shall be downcast, cut- off fixtures to direct light away from adjoining properties and public streets. Landscaping The landscaping on site meets the City's landscape requirements for a commercial development. The applicant is proposing to transplant the 10 existing trees on the east side of the site in order to accommodate for the additional parking spaces created. The trees will be transplanted further east in order to continue screening the building from the neighboring residential uses. Should the transplanted trees die during relocation, the applicant will be required to replace the trees with trees of similar size and maturity. This is listed as a condition of approval. Staff is also recommending that additional evergreen trees be added to the east side of the site in order to provide adequate screening of the parking spaces. Fencing and Screening The applicant is not proposing any fencing for this site. In addition to the existing mature trees along the east property line, the applicant is proposing to transplant the recently planted trees on the east side of the site. This will continue to screen the building from the residential uses to the east. The applicant is proposing to keep the existing trash enclosure on the northeast portion of the building. Architecture and Building Materials The existing building complies with the City's construction standards and guidelines for commercial buildings. The proposed addition will be of the same materials and colors of the existing building and will be cohesive to the overall site. Ponding and Stormwater Management The applicant is proposing to expand the stormwater management features that were constructed with the initial TGK Automotive repair building in order to accommodate the additional impervious surface that is being added to the site. The Stormwater Management Plan submitted meets the requirements for the site. Drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated to the City over the expanded stormwater pond area along with an amended stormwater maintenance agreement.
