Babinski Site Plan February 28, 2005 Page 2 of 4 such. ■ An alternate driveway will be constructed to the east or northeast to connect with the proposed TH 371 service road. ■ All other areas will be restored to grass turf. _ With these assumptions, the total impervious area for the site as planned will be just slightly over 25% of the total lot area,thereby meeting the requirements of the ordinance. Parking As we understand the City Ordinances with regard to parking, 1 space is required for every 2 workers or 1 space is required for every 2,000 square feet of building floor space(whichever is greater). We do not, at this point, know how many workers are to be employed by the facility. A number around 200 has been reported which would lead to a parking requirement of 100 spaces. The total building area of 184,800 square feet as shown on the plan of the proposed facility leads to a total of 92 parking spaces being required. In either case(i.e.by number of employees or by floor space),the parking area shown on the site plans comprises approximately 214,000 square feet. Typically, a parking space requires around 200 square feet,plus space required for associated driving lanes within the lot. Depending on the portion of this area that is dedicated to "modular storage", also as indicated on the site plans, adequate parking space/facilities appear to be available. Storm Water What we believe to be finished ground contours are shown surrounding the proposed facilities on one of the site plan drawings provided. Since these do not match elevations of the existing i ground in the area,we have assumed these indicate a substantial amount of site grading is to take place. It is worth noting that this proposed grading would probably require a large number of the trees presently on the site to be removed. One of the plan sheets submitted contained a note stating "No additional trees to be planted as tree coverage is well over 10 0/o..." In light of the area that would need to be graded to achieve the contours shown on the plans,this statement indicating that no additional trees need to be planted may no longer be true. What we assume are to be storm water infiltration basins are shown both north and south of the proposed building layout. A depth of 10 ft. is indicated on the north basin; 20 ft. is indicated on the south basin. If the site is graded to the contours shown, it appears that the vast majority of the site's storm water runoff will flow to these two basins. This site-grading plan appears to meet the City's ordinances requiring not directing storm water runoff onto adjoining property. However, the developer should be required to provide a better detailed grading map prior to construction (for example: either one-foot or two-foot contour lines, contour lines connecting to each other and not just ending, and contours of the J:\130PQLAK\0000-GENERAL\CORR\DAWN B=ER-REVIEW OF BABINSKI SUE PLAN-022805.DOC
