Memo to the Planning Commission/Morrell May 27, 1997 Page 6 • The area along 171st Avenue and adjacent to the entrance will be sodded. The remainder of the disturbed areas will be seeded. Six pole mounted lights are proposed. Three will be located on the west property line and three along the east property line The development plans include a chain link fence enclosing the loading docks and the undeveloped southeast corner of the lot. The fence is shown as crossing within the wetland area. • The fence should be placed along the edge of the pavement so that it does not go through the wetland. By placing the fence outside the wetland, it will help prevent debris from getting deposited in the wetland. Trash Enclosure No trash enclosure is proposed. The applicant has indicated that a trash compactor will be located in one of the loading docks; however, the location is not shown on the site plan. • The preferred location for the trash compactor would be on the east side of the loading docks so that it is not visible from the street. • Building Elevations The loading docks and maintenance sections of the building will be. constructed of split face blocks. The office portion will be split face blocks with vertical windows. Recommendation It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the following: A.
