National School Bus company, Case No. 2225 Page .. The only site alteration between Phase I and Phase II is the removal of the interim ponding area when storm pipe is available in Arthur street. Phase III: Arthur street built, Prior Avenue and vacated. Access is off Arthur street and Road C. Phase III work to be done when Arthur is built and open. closed County street Phase III creates a new access drive off County Road C at the west edge of the site to replace Prior Avenue access. The eastern County Road C access drive is closed in favor of two new access points off Arthur street, one at the north edge and one at the south edge of the site. Vehicle parking is rearranged. The eastern side of the site is devoted entirely to employee car parking and is separated from bus parking on the west side of the site by the relocated security fence on a new landscaped island. The island runs north-south through the middle of the site. The combination of the fence and landscaping will provide screening for the buses. Landscaping is added along Arthur street as well. Landscapinq Phase III needs one more overs tory trees along Arthur street to satisfy the minimum requirement for street frontage. The parking areas do not meet the five percent minimum landscaped area requirement, and the applicant has requested a variance to this standard. Since a good portion of the site is to be enclosed within a security fence for bus parking, we would consider more landscaping in the areas outside the fenced area to offset this lack, especially on the Arthur street frontage and on the north-south interior island. Buildinq Treatment The building is corrugated metal with a painted concrete block front office structure. There is exposed rooftop equipment. The only proposed alteration to the building is to paint it, which will be an improvement, but still shy of the strict Code requirements. The applicant has requested a variance to the building material requirement, even though they believe the metal building meets the design standards as "metal framed panel construction". section 19.0l0.l(d) requires a building to be "other than corrugated" material.
