e e e Memo to Planning Commission Planning Case #01-30 Page 5 of8 requires that 30 foot buffer yards be maintained adj acent to all residential uses "such that the use is effectively screened from the adjacent residences." The required buffer yard is substantially maintained on the east side of the property. On the northern part ofthe property, a 14 foot buffer yard is provided. However, this would seemingly be an acceptable deviation given the landscaping and fencing provided. Since this is a PUD, deviation from certain requirements is permissible. A trash enclosure is proposed for the property. Based on the requirements of the neighborhood business district, it must be a masonry enclosure. 9. Lighting - Meets Code Requirements Lighting is identified on the site plan. A photometric was not provided, but this will be detailed in the architectural package. The Zoning Ordinance requires that all lighting be directed away from adjoining lots or public streets and must be hooded so that light is only directed onto the subject property. Additional neighborhood business requirements include the following: . Lighting is not permitted to wash the building. Accent lighting delineating the main entrance to the building is permissible. . Security and parking lot lighting shall be on pedestals not to exceed 14 feet in height. Two 14 foot high shoebox style lights are contemplated on the landscape island. Given the requirements of the neighborhood business district, the lighting provided should go beyond standard shoebox lighting contemplated in the site plan. A condition requiring decorative lights as approved by City staff has been incorporated into the recommendation. 10. Sign age - Exceeds Code Requirement The newly revised sign code allows for 60 square feet of freestanding signage. Additionally, the sign ordinance only allows for one freestanding sign per property. The proposed site plan contemplates two 50 square foot monument signs adjacent to each of the accesses. After discussion with the applicant, he indicated that he would like to revise the proposal to include two 30 square foot signs. Since the property has access to two public streets, the revised request would seemingly be reasonable. The signs should be located to maintain a clear vision triangle. 11. Grading and Utilities. Requires Revision based on Evaluation by City Engineer The property would be serviced by existing utilities (sewer, water, gas, electric, and telephone). Please see the November 29, 2001 Memo from the City Engineer regarding other issues surrounding drainage and utilities. Master and Final PUD approval should be conditioned on 5
