<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Memo to City CouncillP 99-6, CD 99-5 <br />March 15, 1999 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Pond Area <br /> <br />The pond area to the rear of the site will be fenced off from the commercial <br />area and left open to the residential area to the east. The fence will be of <br />wood construction similar to Cob urns with a gate to allow for maintenance <br />and access in case of emergencies. <br /> <br />Lighting <br /> <br />The site plan shows 2 light standards in the parking lot and 4 in parking <br />islands. Locating of lights in parking islands can conflict with locating shade <br />trees in them. Staff requested that deciduous overstory trees be planted in <br />the parking islands to provide shade over the parking lot; the applicant has <br />proposed ornamental trees instead. <br /> <br />The building lighting is unclear at this time. <br /> <br />Dumpster Enclosures <br /> <br />The needs of the individual tenants are uncertain and no dumpster location <br />or structure has been indicated on the site plan. The applicant will be <br />required to enclose any garbage in a structure to be constructed to match the <br />principal structure. <br /> <br />DrainaF!e and Utilities <br /> <br />The plat reflects all the required drainage and utility easements. <br /> <br />The Elk River Fire Chief has requested that three additional fire hydrants be <br />installed as directed by the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Landscapinf[ Plan <br /> <br />The landscape plan appears to conform with the City landscape ordinance. <br /> <br />The landscape ordinance requires 30 overstory trees, 15 ornamental trees, <br />and 15 conifers. Not more that 50% of those required overstory and <br />ornamental trees shall be comprised of one species. <br /> <br />All landscaped areas including tree islands require underground irrigation. <br />All trees or shrubs in lawn areas should be mulched to the drip edge at the <br />time of planting to prevent damage to the trunks during maintenance and to <br />enhance moisture retention. <br /> <br />\ \elkriver\sys \shrdoc\p I anning\stevewen \ccmmo \p99-6cc. doc <br />
