the maintenance vehicles md passenger vehicles on the site. As part of this project Hamline Avenue would function as a private access road (part of the road is on National Guard property) for the County and for the Natiollal Guard. Hamline Avenue would not be extended as part of this development. - The applicmt has proposed including a bike rack on both the west md east sides of the administration building, provision for bicyclists and other forms of pedestrian circulation were encouraged in the Civic Center district. Civic Center requirements also call for my internal sidewalk systems or paths to connect with adjacent planned or developed public sidewalks and trails. As part of the Highway 96 reconstruction, a sidewalk will be included along the north side of Highway 96 from Hamline Avenue east to match up with sidewalk in front of the Army ReServe Center. The future development of the TCAAP may include the extension of the sidewalk west of Hamline Avenue. At such time as the sidewalk is extended west of Hamline Avenue, a connection should be made from RCPWF's internal sidewalk systems to the public sidewalk. This would likely entail a connection between the concrete entry walk and the public sidewalk. 9. Screening - Meets Code Requirement Significmt landscaping is proposed to screen both the parking on site and adjacent properties. Depending on when the new Natiollal Guard Facility is constructed to the west of the RCPWF, there may be some screening problems on the west side of the property. Once the National Guard Facility and thebeImS associated with that building are constructed, the _ RCPWF will be adequately screened.from the west. In addition, the current National Guard ,. buildings will screen the building and yard from the east. The applicant has proposed lJSing approximately 29, 8-foot Black Hills Spruce trees which would run along the east property line from the right wing of tbe cold storage area to the rear property line. This foliage, along with a 6-foot fence which is proposed, should adeqIJately screen the property from the east. If the fencing proposed is a chain-link fence, Civic Center requirements state that the fence shall have either a black or dark grcen vinyl coating. 10. Lighting - Meets Code Requirements Lighting is identified in the plm set and appears to be consistent with the Zoning Ordinmce.
