<br />--, <br />Kra us Anderson, CUP <br />April 21, 1994 <br /> <br />'j <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />------------------------------- <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Maurer, City Engineer, is requesting that the current concrete curb and <br />gutter be extended from the entrance gate to the bus garage to help facilitate <br />drainage. In addition, the curb and gutter will protect the landscaped area <br />and provide an aesthetic appearance in front of the building. <br /> <br />The employee parking lot shows 47 parking stalls. The applicant has <br />indicated that the maximum number of employees, including drivers and <br />mechanics, on anyone shift is 33 drivers and 3 mechanics. Therefore, the <br />employee parking lot should be adequate. <br /> <br />DRAINAGE AND GRADING <br /> <br />Terry Maurer, City Engineer, has reviewed the grading and drainage plan for <br />this property (attached is a letter outlining his comments). <br /> <br />FUEL TANK <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The site plan does indicate a 10,000 gallon, above ground fuel tank located in <br />the center of the site. The State Fire Marshall's office requires above ground <br />fuel tanks larger than 6,000 gallons to receive a State Variance. A <br />component of the State Variance is City approval. The variance will address <br />issues such as setbacks from property lines, buildings, and road right of way. <br />Last year Mr. Dickenson went through the State Variance procedure and <br />received approval for an above ground 10,000 gallon fuel tank at his existing <br />bus terminal location. Since the variance is site specific, the applicant will be <br />required to repeat this procedure for the new location. <br /> <br />,,~ <br /> <br />ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS <br /> <br />The applicant has shown building elevations of metal skin with a 4 foot <br />decorative stucco wall around the entire office/service building and bus <br />garage. Elk River City Code requires that in the II zoning district, 25% of <br />the exterior building finish must be of an approved finish (such as brick, <br />stucco, wood, etc.). If this proposal is approved, staff would recommend that <br />the side of the buildings facing County Road No. 1 be revised to an approved <br />finish. <br /> <br />FENCING <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The site plan does indicate a six foot chain link fence with a lockable gate <br />around the entire yard including Pond A and Pond B. The fence will provide <br />security for business operation and the fuel dispenser. From an aesthetic <br />standpoint, the fence along County Road No. 1 could be pulled back to the <br /> <br />kraus.planning <br />
