North Heights Hardware, case No. 2199 Page 6 This is a new parking area and it should meet the hew standard. We would be happy to work with the applicants to revise the landscaping along this area to meet this standard. Trash Handling Trash handling will be accommodated within the building and accessible through a garage door. Engineering Considerations a. The master street plan shows the need for an additional 9.5 feet of right -of -way along Rice Street. This is reflected on the proposed plans. b. The site plan shows the construction of a new catch basin in the south driveway. To accomplish this, a new storm main would need to be extended from Wewers Road some 200 feet to the north. This could either be done privately, or as a city project. C. The plans call for the west side of the parking lot to drain onto private property to the west. The staff would recommend grading the entire lot so that it drains to the east. d. Sidewalk is required along Rice Street. We believe that the applicants have chosen to make a contribution to the pathway fund in lieu of constructing the sidewalk. Building Materials The applicants propose to patch in matching brick along the front of the building where the door is to be replaced. With this change, the east elevation (facing Rice Street) will be brick. They are proposing to cover the addition with rock face concrete block with 8 -inch break -off concrete block along the top. Section 19.010 of the City Code states: All subsequent additions, exterior alterations, and accessory buildings constructed after the erection of an original building or buildings shall be of the same as those used in the original building and shall be designed in a manner conforming to the original architectural concept and general appearance. These provisions shall not prevent the upgrading of the quality of materials used in a remodeling or expansion program.
