Zoning File #2128 April 12, 1996 P^e 4 the structure has been reduced in height from a 40'+ peak height to 30'. Translucent panels shall be installed resembling windows in an attempt to soften solid precast concrete walls. The entire structure will be constructed of precast concrete wall panels. Foundation will be slab on grade. The 800 seat capacity bleachers will also be constructed of a precast concrete. The structure will be fully sprinkled. Review Exhibit M, the strucuire has been designed internally to minimize any noise producing elements that might impact adjacent residence. Another concern cited at the information meetings was need for applicant to minimize impact on residence to immediate west. Applicant shall meet with the owner when strucmre is erected to discuss strategic placement of plantings along west lot line (review Exhibit J, letter to G. Timm). Applicant also plans to discuss the installation of an appropriate type fence and to locate the fence with the goal of reducing the impact of use and location of arena structure. Parking is shown in the east within the south yard. Note parking has been moved out of the Type I wetland. The remaining Type I wetland that runs along Old Crystal Bay Road along the east lot line will also be protected with the installation of the detention pond in the east yard. As noted above the parking in the east or street yard will require a variance setback. Applicant's current site plan shows 88 stalls (4 handicap). Applicant’s addendum suggests 100, we should ask applicant to locate additional 12 stalls. The terms of the agreement note that applicant and School District will be entering into a joint parking agreement with School. As requested, a walking lane has been provided along the east lot line. Note engineer ’s report. Exhibit F, asks for an additional walking lane at the west side. This may have an impact on the School's use of the practice soccer and football field to the immediate south of the 4.4 acre site. It is not certain why this pathway would also be needed as we have never noted this need in our earlier review. Review Exhibits N and O, surface runoff from the developed site will drain directly to the detention pond in the east yard. Note swales have been installed along the west lot line directing drainage either to the north or south then draining around the structure via swales or storm sewer. Grading/Drainage/Access Refer to Exhibit F, the engineer has approved the grading plan and access location. The engineer and the School District's advice to the applicant are well-founded. The second lift of bituminous should be delayed for a year allowing for initial settlement of the ground. The engineer has specific guidelines for installation of the paving within driving lanes and in the parking area. Another issue raised by adjacent neighbors was the question as to why the structure could not be moved as far south as possible in order to preserv'e view of residence at immediate west lot line. Review page 2 of Gustafson’s April 10th report, the last sentence in the grading paragraph, he notes the following, "The soils found at boring 95-4 near the wetlands, (refer to Exhibit G), are considerably worse than at other areas on the site and it is wise to avoid construction there." The applicant has chosen to
