Apri114~, 2008 <br />Kinghorn Constmclion VIA EMAIL <br />Attn: Grady Kinghorn Johns@ldnghornco.com <br />14198 Northdale Blvd <br />Rogers, MN 55374 <br />RE: Alliance Church <br />Mx. Kinghom, <br />The City has received and completed its review of the proposed Alliance Church building at 13913 18ith. <br />While I understand the primary change from the original approved proposal regazds the building <br />architecture, I must revisit all issues identified during the original review in 2006 to ensure there is no <br />miscommunication. <br />At this time, after careful review of the project, city staff, including its engineer, public works, plauunlg and <br />fire department have prepared comments fox your consideration. These comments will also be forwarded <br />to the Planning Commission and City Council as they review the projects. Staff has made every attempt to <br />be thorough; however, as review continues, items ox issues needing attention may be identified for <br />clarification/ resolution. <br />Architecture <br />1. It appears that the exteaox building materials are predominately brick, with E.F.I.S accents near the <br />entrances. Please confirm. Please be prepared to outline the provide samples of the proposed building <br />matctiaLs during the Planning and City Councl meetings. <br />Landscanin>r. <br />2. Please provide a landscaping plan. After review of the original landscaping plan, staff noted that based <br />on the Landscaping Ordinance, an additional 20 over story, 10 ornamental, and 9 evergreen trees aze <br />required. The parking lot trees should be over story. I would suggest a row of shmbbery along the south <br />side of the front parking lot as a headlight screen. <br />3. The site plan indicates striped parking lot islands on both the front and rear pazking areas. The Council <br />did, at their meeting on August 21, 2006 allow the rear islands be striped, they did not waive the <br />requirement for the front islands. It should be noted that since the original approval, the Council has <br />identified a need to enhance the image of the city, and I believe that landscaping enhancements improve <br />the ittlagitle. I will recommend the reaz parking lots include curbed islands. You axe welcome to request a <br />waiver. <br />Utilities <br />4. Where will the electrical transfoaner be located? landscaping should be located to help saeen the lout <br />130fi5 Orovo Pazkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />
