. 6. Screening - Meets Requirement. The existing trees along the west property line are proposed to stay. The shrubs behind those trees would likely be removed to make way for the new retaining wall. Several of the large coniferous trees at the south end of the existing building which currently help to screen the building would be affected by the addition. The applicant has proposed to relocate these trees if possible, and replace the trees if relocation is not feasible. The preservation of as many existing trees as possible will help screen the building addition from the residential properties to the west. The applicant will need to verify that all mechanical equipment is screened, consistent with Section 6E4j of the City's Zoning Ordinance, including the transformer (shown as site plan note #21). 7. Lighting - Meets Requirement. General requirements for lighting state that the source oflighting shall be concealed or hooded and also that lights shall not cast light exceeding a meter reading of 1.0 foot candle on the tr<lvellanes of adjoining public streets or 0.4 foot candles on adjoining residential property. The applicant has proposed a total of5 wall pack style light fixtures along the west and south . sides of the building. These lights would be below the grade of Lake Johanna Boulevard and should therefore not be visible from neighboring residential properties. The applicant should confirm that the lighting will meet the City's lighting requirements. 8. Grading, Drainage, and Utilities - Revised plans to address the comments and questions of the City Engineer regarding Grading, Drainage, and Utilities should be submitted. The City Engineer has reviewed the applicant's plans and has indicated areas for revision of plans and areas where additional details are required. The Planning Commission should review the plan review comments below and determine if they are comfortable with the City Engineer's recommendations as they relate to the grading, drainage and utility plans. If the Planning Commission is comfortable with the plans subject to the City Engineers recommendations, a condition should be added directing the applicant to submit revised grading, drainage, and utility plans to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to the issuance of building permits. The applicant shall also be required to obtain the necessary permits from the Rice Creek Watershed District in regard to drainage, erosion control, and storm water; and from Ramsey County in regard to work within the Ramsey County right-of-way. . \\Earth\Phmning\Planning Cases\2005\05-17 Pres Homes SUP Amendment McKnight Care Ctr Addition (PENDING)\07-06-05 PC Report Pres Horne McKnight Care Center Addition SlJP Amend PC-05-] 7.doc Page 50f7
