Building The new complex will be shared by the Street, Park, and Vehicle Maintenance Departments. The existing building, which will have interior work done, will be dedicated to the Parks Department while the other departments will be housed in the new expansion. The existing building is proposed to have a drive through lane n~nning the entire length of the building. This will require some modifications to the exterior elevations, such as garage doors. The new expansion will consist of office, meeting, and locker spaces for all the employees. There will also be a new shop for the maintenance of the city's fleet, large vehicle storage, and a vehicle wash bay. The existing cold storage building will remain. The proposed materials for the new expansion are being proposed as pre-cast concrete panels and glass, which meet the architectural standards for the I1 zoning district. Circulation Circulation around the site will consist of a main access off of Proctor Avenue for all vehicles. The main drive that currently exists will remain for the general public to access the compost area and for city vehicles to access to the "back" gated portions of the site. A separate drive lane for the relocated fueling station will be created off the north side of the existing drive. The fueling station will be a canopied area accessible at all times for city vehicles. Landscaping The landscaping plan has not yet been completed, as the site plan is still being designed. Staff will work with the architects on the plan. The site has a perimeter of 4,060 feet which would require 101 trees. (1 tree per 40 feet of lot perimeter) The site has existing trees which can be counted up to half of the required trees. A landscape plan will need to be approved by staff. Signage One wall sign is being proposed and a monument sign is being considered. Both signs will meet the sign regulations. Lighting The building will have exterior wall lights and the parking lot in front of the building will have light standards. The canopied fuel station and salt shed will have lighting for use during night hours. A lighting plan will need to be provided showing that a level of 1.5 foot-candles is maintained. Storm Dater To accommodate the increased run-off from the site, four new ponds are being proposed.
