4363765) is in place with the property to the north to allow the Mister site to access and park up to 19 vehicles. Customers utilize the vacuum stalls to park and vacuum their vehicles before or after a wash. As an express wash facility, there are no retail sales that take place, nor is there an interior clean option, therefore, customers have little need to enter the building and turnover of the vacuum stalls is expected to be frequent. Landscaping & Screening Mister takes pride in our thoughtfully designed landscaping, utilizing native plantings throughout the site as well as decorative rock, a variety of shrubs and perennials along with new deciduous and coniferous trees The site contains approximately 311 caliper inches of significant trees. This proposal includes removing approximately 244 caliper inches of significant trees. When applying a ten percent (10%) credit of total caliper inches of significant trees, the resulting required replacement is 213 caliper inches. Mister intends to replace 107 caliper inches which is a rate of 1 inch for every 2 inches lost as per 1325.055 Subd. 6 A.1. Due to the relatively small nature of the site, the large number of caliper inches that need to be replaced and that approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the site is within existing parking, access or utility easements which can't be planted in, it is not practical to replace all required caliper inches on site. Therefore, Mister proposes to plant 44 caliper inches onsite and 63 caliper inches that can't be replaced on site, at an off -site location as determined by the city or provide a fee in -lieu, both as allowed by 1325.05 Subd. 6(A)(3)(D). The proposed fee in -lieu amounts to approximately $25,200 based on $400 per caliper inch planting cost. Mister proposes to replace the existing wood fence along the south and west property lines with a new, six (6') foot composite/vinyl fence, similar to Bufftech Brookline, or an approved equal. Lighting Mister has worked with a lighting designer to ensure safe, adequate light levels are provided throughout the site including at the vacuums, while minimizing light spillage onto neighboring sites. The vacuum arms are lit with linear LED lights, generating approximately ten (10) foot candles at the center of the vacuum stalls. The balance of the site is lit with traditional pole mounted area lights at 23' to the top of the fixture, canopy lighting under the canopy and wall sconces on the building. All lighting is LED. The site meets code 1325.05 Subd. 3 in all respects including not casting in excess of one (1) foot candle on the travel lanes of adjoining roads. Snow Storage Mister intends to provide 4,000 square feet of snow storage throughout the site, as identified on the Snow Storage Plan. Any snow that is unable to be safely stored on -site will be hauled to an off -site
