Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 03-05 March 25,2003 Page 2 • Buildings The site plan includes 9 buildings totaling 46,240 square feet.The units will be a mix of sizes including 5'x10', 10'x10'and 10'x20'. The 5x10 units will be"walk in"units. They will be accessed via a center walk aisle; a customer will not be able to drive up to the front of the unit. The two buildings closest to the street are aligned so that the storage unit doors do not face the street. The other 7 buildings are aligned perpendicular to the buildings closest to Jarvis Street. The buildings will consist of green doors with off-white metal trim. The ends of the two buildings facing the street will be beige EIFS.Since EIFS can be easily damaged by vehicles, staff suggests a 32" high rock faced block knee wall.The ends of the interior buildings will be off-white metal. The roofs are proposed to be off-white metal. A contrasting color, maybe green to match the doors, for the roofs would improve the aesthetics of the buildings. The exterior of the buildings meet the design standards of the I2 District. Access and Parking A single 28-foot wide access is proposed from Jarvis Street.This should be wide enough for two-way traffic. The maximum entrance width is 30 feet. IP The minimum drive aisle width will be 20 feet.This width will allow for one-way traffic and no parking.Interior drive aisles between the buildings are a minimum of 25 feet wide.This will allow for one-way traffic and a parking/loading space.All drive aisles should be signed one-way.The turning radiuses around the site will need to be a minimum of 40 feet,per the Fire Department's recommendation.The drive aisles will be paved.Concrete cub and gutter is included on the access from Jarvis Street and the paved area in between the front buildings and the street; the remainder of the site will include bituminous curb. Designated parking spaces should be shown on the site plan for the"walk in"storage units. There is also enough room for a 25-foot long truck to park outside the entrance gate and not extend out onto Jarvis Street. Security A fence will surround the site. The fence around the front of the site will be decorative wrought iron;the remainder of the fence will be chain link.Security lights will be placed on the ends of the buildings and a street light will be located near the entrance on Jarvis Street.
