ANALYSIS: Mr. Roberts submitted a revised site plan to staff addressing the issues raised at the December 22, 2009, Subdivision Committee meeting. The revised site plan includes the total square footages of the buildings, the percent building coverage and the parcel size in the general notes section of the site plan. The revised site plan has eliminated the median within the drive located off 65th Street. Mr. Roberts has contacted Public Works staff and they have determined stormwater detention will not be required due to the reduction in paved areas on the site. The site is proposed to contain two (2) buildings one (1) existing building and one (1) building proposed for new construction. The existing building contains 1,511 square feet and the new construction is proposed containing 3,942 square feet. The maximum building height will not exceed the allowable thirty-five (35) feet per the zoning district. The buildings are proposed as single story buildings. There will be twenty-one (21) parking spaces on the site at the completion of the new construction. For commercial development a total of eighteen (18) parking spaces would typically be required. The site plan does not include signage. Both ground signage and building signage will be limited to signage allowed in commercial zones. Ground signage is to be limited to a maximum height of thirty-six (36) feet and a maximum sign area of one hundred sixty (160) square feet. Building signage is to be limited to a maximum of ten (10) percent of the facade area on the facades with public street frontage. The site plan indicates the placement of a six foot (6) screening fence along the eastern and northern perimeters. Screening is only required along the eastern perimeter where abutting residentially used property. The site plan indicates a fifteen (15) foot street buffer along Geyer Springs Road and 65th Street. The ordinance typically requires the placement of street buffers at a minimum of six (6) percent of the depth of the property. The buffer as indicated is sufficient to meet the typical ordinance standards. To staff's knowledge there are no outstanding technical issues in need of addressing associated with the request. The proposed site plan appears to fully comply with the development criteria of the various City ordinances. 5 January 14, 2010 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 2 (Cont.)
