Page 4 of 7 At their July 18th and September 19th meeting, the City Council reviewed a concept plan from the Applicant for the proposed fencing. The discussion was originally tabled in order to allow the Applicant an opportunity to provide additional information on the cost of installation and maintenance between the decorative fencing and chain link fencing as well as stake the proposed fencing locations for a site tour to evaluate visual impacts along Highway 96 and existing screening. The Applicant hosted a site tour for the City Council and staff on August 15th. The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department has taken into consideration the feedback of the City Council in preparing their land use application for the project approvals. 2. 1320.11 – Special Requirements for Civic Center District, Subd. 4 – Development Standards, Section D.2 – Fences o If fences are used for landscape screening, they must conform to the following: a) No higher than six (6) feet in rear yards only; b) No barbed wire, razor wire, or spikes allowed; c) Fences must blend into the landscape and minimize corrosion. Wood, brick, stone or wrought iron is encouraged. If chain link is allowed by the City Council, it must have black or dark green vinyl coating. In addition to the CUP requirement for fencing with barbed wire or spikes, there are special requirements for the CC Zoning District on development standards pertaining to fences. In this zoning district, the city code states that if chain link is allowed by the City, it must have black or dark green vinyl coating. The Applicant is proposing black vinyl coated chain link fencing. 3. 1325.06 – Off-Street Parking Requirements The Applicant is also proposing two parking lot additions totaling 23 parking stalls which would increase the impervious surface area by approximately 0.6%. The southern five-stall parking lot addition with concrete sidewalk to the building will be open to the public. The northern 18-stall parking lot addition will be behind the proposed security gates and will be for facility employee use only. To construct the parking lots, the Applicant will be removing two trees. Tree mitigation is not required because the Applicant is removing less than 10% of the trees located on the property.
