<br />-e <br /> <br />Memo to City Council <br />- Planmng Case #UI-12: Arden South ApaiTiuents <br />Page 7 of11 <br /> <br />Pro osed Parkiu <br />87 S aces <br /> <br />Code Re uirement <br />60 S aces <br /> <br />Recommended <br />99 S aces <br /> <br />The Zoning Ordinance requires that the spaces be not less than nine (9) feet by eighteen (18) feet <br />in size, as all spaces are shown on the proposed plan. The proposal also complies with the 20 <br />foot setback from the right-of-way. The entire parking area will be curbed, surfaced and striped <br />in accordance with City design standards. <br />7. Access and Circulation. - Meets Code Requirement <br /> <br />One access to the property is proposed onto Cleveland A venue. The access to the public street is <br />proposed to be 20 feet wide, exceeding the requirements for a residential driveway. A permit <br />from Ramsey County would need to be obtained for the curb cut. The Fire Inspector has <br />reviewed the plans and is satisfied with the access and circulation of the property. <br /> <br />8. Screening - Meets Code Requirement <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />There are significant physical and natural buffers to adjacent properties. To the east, a heavily <br />wooded ravine and creek provide separation from the single-family residences on New Brighton <br />Road. I-35W borders the property to the west, and predominantly open areas abut the property to <br />the north and south. Coniferous trees and other landscaping planted along County Road E2 and <br />Cleveland Avenue will provide an appropriate buffer for the parking lot. Trash receptacles will <br />be located within the underground parking so screening is not an issue. <br /> <br />9. Lighting - Information Not Available <br /> <br />A lighting plan was not submitted with the application. This will be detailed in the architectural <br />package. All lighting must be directed away from adjoining lots or public streets and must be <br />hooded so that light is only directed onto the subject property. <br /> <br />10. Sign age - Meets Code Requirement <br /> <br />While no signage plan was submitted, the applicant's narrative statement indicates the <br />following with regard to signage: <br /> <br />The building will have a 4 foot by 6 foot identification sign on the boulevard in conformance with <br />the materials and colors used on the exterior of the building, with the building name and address. <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing a 24 square foot sign. The sign code allows for one 50 square foot <br />sign in this type of development.
