#2416 TOLD Development <br />November 10,1998 <br />Page 4 <br />7. Plans and specs for proposed building sewer/water connections are required. <br />8. Need utility easements over portions of Navarre Lane to be vacated. Standard drainage and <br />utility easements should be granted along perimeter of site, and drainage easements over <br />final pond area. <br />9. Financial guarantee required for specific site improvements. <br />III. Other Site Plan Issues Noted bv DSU and Staff (Also see E.xhibit G) <br />1. <br />2. <br />5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />8. <br />Retaining wall along northwest boundary up to 8’ in height: impact on neighboring <br />properties, safety fence, screening, etc. <br />Proximity of rear access driveway to Olive Avenue: visual impacts, activity impacts on <br />surrounding neighborhood. Ability to screen? Fence needed? Positive traffic barrier needed? <br />Neighborhood pedestrian access across site - where? One of the tradeoffs of vacating <br />Navarre Lane was/is to retain pedestrian access through the site for residents of the <br />neighborhoods to the east. <br />Landscaping plan is weak, in part due to the fact that hardcover is so excessive, leaving little <br />space for plantings that are needed to screen the two major retaining walls and to buffer the <br />site from adjacent residential uses. <br />Lack of parking lot setbacks leaves inadequate room for landscaping and future w idening of <br />County Road 19 and sidewalks. Note existing sidewalk is mostly in right-of-way but partly <br />within property. <br />Grading within 5' of lot lines (northwest residential boundary, east parking boundary) <br />requires a CUP. <br />Loading berths: The proposed loading berth is located and designed to meet minimum City <br />standards. At least one loading berth is required by code. The location of the loading berth <br />is intended to minimize impacts to site circulation while provifding adequate access for the <br />one large semi trailer anticipated each week. The turning radius for that semi trailer is the <br />primary factor in why there is so much driveway along the north and east sides of the <br />building. <br />Lighting: Code Section 10.60 Subd. 8 requires that lighting be diffused or directed away <br />from "R" Districts and public streets. No lighting plan has been provided. <br />t
