proposing to construct a 50,690 square foot trucking facility. The facility will include 28,800 square feet of dock space, 5690 square feet of office area, 4,000 square feet of warehouse space and a 12,200 square foot maintenance area. The proposed building will be L-shaped with the office and maintenance area located in the front and the docks extending back towards the rear of the site. The dock area will consist of 60 loading docks, 30 on each side; the overhead doors of the loading docks will face the railroad tracks and the undeveloped property to the west. Access to the site will be from 171st Avenue. An employee and visitor parking area is located in front of the building along 171st Ave.; another parking area is located on the side of the building, along the west property line. Truck parking and storage is located on either side of the loading docks. All of the site that will be utilized for access and parking will be paved. Concrete curb and gutter is proposed throughout the site. The applicant is proposing to enclose the loading and truck parking area with a chain link fence around the perimeter of the property. In order to ensure that the vegetation along the west property line is not damaged by trucks and to allow for the rear overhang of the trailers, the pavement in the truck parking and loading area should be setback an additional 5 feet, for a total of 15 feet, from the west property line. The applicant is proposing an area for outdoor storage in the southeast corner of the site. Because of the proximity to wetlands, this area should be fenced and a minimum 20 setback should be maintained from the wetlands as well as a 10 setback from the property line. The applicant is proposing a crushed concrete surface. Because of the long range plans for 171st being a north south arterial, landscaping along 171st Avenue is an important aspect of this site plan. In order to provide an effective landscaped screen along 171st, a 25 foot landscaped area should be in place along 171st. This area should include a three foot high berm with evergreen trees. Additional landscaping should also be planted along the east property line. The loading docks and maintenance sections of the building will be constructed of split face blocks. The office portion will be split face blocks and vertical windows. Please refer to the City Engineer's memo dated May 21, 1997 for information regarding drainage and utilities issues.
