Mr. Howard Dahlgfen May 29, 1987 Page Three Comm. No. 87-01-1033-01 All parking areas have been designed to meet the minimum requirements for stall size (9' X 18' or 6' X 18' for compact) and drive aisle widths (24'). With the exception of the compact car parking area on the east side of the Retail Building, all parking areas are designed for full size cars. Concrete curb and gutter will contain all of the parking and drive areas. The following table illustrates the specific data relative to parking: Parking - Required _ Provided * Retail Building 5/1000 = 85 52 office Building 5/1000 = 92 92 Bank/Office Building 5/1000 = 141 145 Extended Stay Hotel 1/unit = 112 112 * Due to the specific use of the Retail Building, we are requesting a parking variance for this use to allow 3/1000 or 51 cars. LANDSCAPING Landscaping will be used to enhance the appearance of the buildings, provide visual screening at appropriate locations, define access points and soften the parking areas. The concept landscape plan proposes a variety of plant materials including, over-story trees, ornamental trees, evergreen trees and shrub massings. The intent of the concept landscape plan is to indicate a level of quality and types of plant materials only and not to provide a speci- fic planting plan. GRADING, DRAINAGE AND UTILITIES The site will be served by storm sewer, water and sanitary sewer improvements connecting to existing city utilities and designed to conform to city engineer- ing standards. The site drainage design, subject to City and Watershed District approval, will limit runoff from the site to previously approved amounts. Ponding require- ments south of the frontage road will be increased from 0.25 acre-feet to 0.51 acre-feet. An interior storm sewer system, designed for a 5-year frequency storm, will convey runoff from approximately 6.5 acres to a relocated, con- trolled outlet pond. A 10 -inch D.I.P. watermain, looped from the existing 16-inch pipe along Snelling Avenue to the Snelling Avenue Frontage Road and County Road C, will provide water to individual parcels. Hydrants will be placed appropriately within the property with maximum hydrant spacing 300 feet. Sanitary sewer will be extended into the site from the existing 8-inch pipe near the north end of the parcel. 01 011i
