Everest Development, Ca.e Mo. 2366 Page 3 somewhat more exposed to Long Lake Road, but the view is screened by a large berm and numerous spruce trees in the southwest corner of the site. Rooftop units were carefully situated and measured, as can be seen on the attached sections. Original plans called for all rooftop utilities to be 5' high, but the plans have been modified as noted to stay below a smaller dimension in some instances in order to be screened from the view to surrounding streets. The view from I-35W could not be fully screened, since the freeway is artificially raised in this area due to the interchange. Motorists, however, will be going fairly fast and will have the guardrail blocking a portion of the view. Trash Handlina Trash will be handled completely within the buildings. Enaineerina Considerations There are several easements on the site, including the NSP transmission line and a williams pipeline easement. The sites have been adequately designed around these easements and the necessary private arrangements have been made for the construction. Ponding on site meets engineering standards. Parks and Ooen Soace Not applicable. Fire Marshal Considerations The Fire Marshal has reviewed the plans and found them to be adequate. 4. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The question before the Planning commission is one mainly of use, not of design details. If the project were in another zoning district, building permits could be issued without review by the Planning Commission or City council. The applicant has been diligent in providing well-designed, professionally-prepared plans that meet or exceed all design standards. section 12.035 of the Code provides the criteria for consideration of a Special use Permit: 1. Imoact on traffic. The proposed use, being one-level and having a portion of the space devoted to service or warehouse space, will generate less traffic than many uses that would be permitted without special consideration,
