-------- sereening may be needed after implementation and evaluation of the landscaping plan. ' , The applicant proposes two dumpster enclosures. One of the enclosures would be located .- northeast of unit I, and the other enclosure would be located east of unit 16. The dumpster enclosures are proposed to have a brick veneer and an asphalt shinglc roof to match the office buildings (Attachment 3D-7 Sheet AL3). A stained Cedar gate would provide access to the dumpsters. The enclosure plans do indicate that the area above the brick would have stueco to match the office buildings; however, stucco is not being used on the office buildings. The dumpster enclosures should use the Hardie Plank siding to be compatible with the look ofthe office buildings. Mechanical operation equipment is not shown on the plans. All such equipment shall be required to be screened from view consistent with the City's Zoning Ordinance. A condition has been added to the PUD document reinforcing this requirement. 12. Lighting - Does Not Meet Requirements Thc lighting plan is required to meet Section 6.E.3 and 5.H.5.f of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 6.B.3 states that: . Light is to bc directed away from adjoining lots or public streets. . The lighting source should be hooded, concealed, or eontrolled to direct lighting only where lighting is intended to be. . . The lighting should not exeeed a meter reading of one foot candIe on the travel lanes of adjoining public streets or .4 candles on adjoining residential properties. . No more than 25 percent of the fa<;ade should be illuminated with direct lighting from spot lights or flood lights Section 5.H.5.f states that lighting shall not be permitted to wash the building, except for accent lighting to delineate the main entryway into the building, and lighting shall not exceed 14 feet in height. The applicant is proposing 12 foot tall poles with a two foot base for the parking lot lights. The lights would be hooded as required. The plan does not indicate if the facades of any of the buildings would be lit. jfthe fa<;ade of the two easternmost buildings is lit, it may be visible from neighboring properties. However, the landscaping will help reduce the impact of any fa<;ade lighting. Along the southern property line near the aceess road to Hamline Avenne, there are two small spots where light is at .6 lumens, which exceeds the .4 lumens limit. The first area is southeast of unit 16 near the curve in the access road.
