Mr. Gray advised 19 spaces would be adequate. Ms. Warrick also asked if it would be possible to have the semi trucks circle the building rather • than backing up. • Technical Plat Review June 24, 1997 Page 7 Mr. Gray stated he would discuss the matter with the owner. He noted the owner did want to pave a drive. Mr. Franklin was in favor of the circle drive. Ms. Warrick also asked about a shared drive with Tract B Mr. Gray stated he did not think it would be feasible to have a shared drive due to the topography. Ms. Warrick asked the grade difference. Mr. Gray stated the grade was not bad on Tract A but, as you moved east, the street was below the property by at least 3 feet. Ms. Warrick pointed out cross -access was desirable. She suggested stubbing out to the property line. • Mr. Gray stated they were planning the building on the flattest part of the property. He noted there would be 8-10 foot cuts. He added, at the corner of the parking area, there would be a 2 -3 - foot cut. He stated they could grade onto the other property, not knowing what would be placed there. Other Requirements: Screening is required on the north property line. Any new utilities shall be located underground. Show on the plat the location of any free standing signage for this project. Mr. Gray stated they would like to keep most of the vegetation. He asked Ms. Sandeen to look at what presently existed on the lot. He then asked about the stacking area. He explained he had always measured the stacking distance from the edge of the street so they knew what they were doing. He pointed out the right- of-way was a variable number Ms. Warrick stated staff was reasonably certain the roadway would be widened and, if they measured from the curb, by the time the roadway was widened there would be no stacking space. Mr. Gray stated he would work with staff on it. He advised he had a letter from the Highway Department with Harold Beavers anticipating either a 40 or 60 -foot street. • Ms. Sandeen pointed out they needed 15 feet of landscaping from the right-of-way. • • • Technical Plat Review June 24, 1997 Page 8 Mr. Gray noted that could be reduced to 5 feet with berming. He advised he believed the intent of the stacking ordinance was to allow the stacking of 2 or 3 cars. Ms. Warrick then reviewed the Commercial Design Standards: 1. Utility equipment not shown on plats -- where will it be located? Screening is required. 2. Trash enclosure must be screened on three sides. 3. Shared access to the west should be provided. 4. The only signage shown is on the building - will there be any freestanding signs?
