Staff conducted a site <br />plan review on January 16, 2015 and has the following comments: <br />Building Materials <br />Your narrative indicates that the building will be painted a neutral color and the privacy slats will be a <br />complimentary color to the building. Please provide the proposed colors. <br />Parking /Access <br />While the submitted aerial does not show parking stall markings, the narrative indicates there are 44 <br />existing parking stalls on the property. The attached aerial from Google Maps shows 58 stalls. The <br />parking requirements are that the facility as proposed provides 36 parking stalls. Please provide a site plan <br />with the proposed parking layout. <br />Landscaping <br />The landscaping requirements are 34 trees for this project if it were new. The landscape plan (L1) shows <br />six trees graphically but the key markers show five. <br />Per ordinance, 34 trees are required. In situations where the landscaping requirements are not met, <br />the city has required modifications in scale with the proposed improvements. Staff will be <br />recommending that a total 15 overstory trees be added. Please provide an updated landscape plan. <br />Accessory Structures <br />The Existing Conditions and Demo Plan sheet (Cl) shows the shed being salvaged and reinstalled. <br />Please indicate on a site plan or landscape plan where that will be located. <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />www.FlkfUverMN.gov <br />UREJ <br />
