EOS Architecture,CUP Page 2 February 22, 1994 e PARKING Public libraries are required to have one parking space for each 500 square feet of floor area. The square footage of the library including the proposed addition would be 10,600 square feet. Therefore, 22 parking spaces will be required for a library of this size. The existing parking lot has 22 parking spaces therefore, no additional parking will be required. BUILDING The proposed library addition would consist of face brick which would match the existing library. DRAINAGE Terry Maurer, City Engineer has reviewed the drainage plan for the new library addition. The existing library has a flat roof which has drainage outlets on various corners of the roof. The water is piped from the roof to various "scuppers" which release water to the ground and eventually over land to the street. Rather than have the water drain over land, Terry Maurer has proposed that the scuppers release water from the roof area into an open • underground pipe which would take the water directly to the storm sewer which is located at the corner of Proctor and 4th Street. If the pipe were to freeze during the winter months, the water from the library would still have the ability to drain over land to the street, reducing the risk of water problems due to frozen pipes. If this request is approved, staff recommends the drainage plan be revised to meet the City Engineer's recommendation. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the conditional use permit with the following conditions: 1. THAT THE APPLICANT ADD 8 ADDITIONAL 2 INCH CALIPER OVERSTORY TREES TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. 2. THE DRAINAGE PLAN BE REVISED TO MEET THE CITY ENGINEER'S RECOMMENDATION. 3. A LANDSCAPE BUFFER SHOULD BE PROVIDED ALONG THE WEST PROPERTY LINE TO SCREEN THE NEIGHBORING HOME. ID
