f � <br /> FILE#11-3519 <br /> August 8,2011 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br /> Landscanin�: The applicants have proposed to continue the style and scheme of the <br /> landscaping plan currently in place, essentially just extending it further south to <br /> accommodate the revised driveway entrance location. Additional screening is proposed at . <br /> the south side of the new driveway entrance and along the south lot boundary parking area, <br /> , which will provide screening/buffering for that parking area. These irees will serve a dual <br /> purpose in buffering the views of the existing warehouse building on the adjacent lot, which <br /> will now be 16' from the south lot line. <br /> . The Landscape Plan is attached as Sheet L1, and appears to meet all City requirements. <br /> . <br /> Li�hting: Applicants have provided an exterior lighting plan that extends the existing � <br /> conforming lighting system to serve the addition. Wall lighting and pole lighting will be <br /> shoe-box style shielded luminaires. Placement and orientation of the fixtures is shown on <br /> Sheet SL which indicates there will be little if any light spillage outside the property <br /> boundaries. � <br /> Signa�e: Applicant has provided a depiction of a proposed monument sign to be located at <br /> the NW corner of the property near the Wayzata Blvd/OCB Rd intersection. The sign <br /> location is depicted on Sheet C1, and the monument itself is depicted on Plan Sheet 11. The <br /> monument meets code standards for setback,height, sign area, construction materials and <br /> design. Additionally,wall signage is proposed in the locations depicted on Sheet A2 for the <br /> west and north facades, and is well within the limit of 5% of fa�ade wall area allowed for <br /> wall signage. <br /> Trash Mana�ement: <br /> The Industrial District zoning code standards do not have specific requirements for trash <br /> handling. The general standards for all zoning districts are contained in Section 78-158 <br /> which states as follows: <br /> Sec.78-1578.Waste materials. <br /> Waste material shall not be washed into the public storm sewer system nor the sanitary sewerage <br /> system without first having received a permit to do so from the city.If the permit is not granted, a <br /> method of disposal shall be devised which will not require continuous land requisition for <br /> permanent operation and will not cause a detrimental effect to the adjacent land. Should the waste <br /> be of solid form rather than fluid,the storage area shall be so located and fenced as to be removed <br /> from public view.In all districts,all waste material,debris, refuse,garbage,materials not <br /> currently in use for construction or otherwise regulated in this section shall be kept in an <br /> enclosed building or properly contained in a closed container for such purposes.The owner <br /> of vacant land shall be responsible for keeping such vacant land free of waste material and <br /> noxious weeds. <br /> (Code 1984, § 10.60(14)) <br /> "Closed container" as used above would suggest a dumpster. Neither the `I' District <br /> standards nor the above code section strictly requires that dumpsters�be screened. Applicant <br /> proposes to locate dumpsters along the east facade outside the building, facing the back wall <br /> of the opposite building to the east(see Exhibit C, Item 12). At this location the dumpsters <br /> will be relatively out of view of the public, except perhaps for some brief and fairly distant <br /> views from westbound tra�c on Wayzata Boulevard. These minimal views will be <br /> ; <br /> f. <br />
