We will have to see what their tenant needs will be. • They will need to update their plans to show the bicycle parking • We still need approvals from the Engineering Department and Urban Forester • We recommend this item to go to Commercial Committee on Aug. 6 with them having final voting authority Committee Comments: Sue: Will they come back to the PC when they get a tenant(s)? Rachel: They will not come back to the full PC. They will need to apply for a sign permit with the Department. Sue: If you feel like there's enough parking provided,then I'm ok with it. Rachel: If there's a problem,we will address it at that point. Adam DeHart: We will have to commit how many employees are allowed in this building(due to load capacity with sewer/water). Alan: Are you proposing four truck bays on each side of the building? Adam DeHart: The 14 truck dock doors, with 2 drive in doors will be on the east side of the building. Alan: Can you show me on the aerial photo the closest residential area to this warehouse? Adam DeHart: I am not aware of any near-by residential areas. The aerial photo doesn't show of any. Alan: So this won't affect any neighboring residential areas with noises caused by the trucks? Adam DeHart: People in residential areas will not have any issues of this. The trucks using this facility will represent a small percentage of the traffic in the area. Josh: Have you been in contact with John Thomas about the BMPs? Adam DeHart: Yes. Josh: I would like you to naturalize the banks and edges of the retention ponds to help keep the geese out and help the quality of water. Adam DeHart: We will naturalize the edges of the ponds. We also like to use fake floating alligator heads. This has been successful in other detention ponds to deter geese. Brad: Will the walking paths along Mayflower Drive be separated by a raised curb? Adam DeHart: We are installing them at grade. There are pavement and draining issues with this existing private street. Installing a curb will cause more issues. We are working with the owners of this private street to get it rebuilt. We want to dedicate the ROW to the City. This two lane road is currently 44' wide. Our walking path would be at the ROW line. Brad: Mayflower Drive is in terrible condition. Does it make sense to not have them construct the path now, improve the road instead and contribute to the Thoroughfare Fund? Rachel: We can relay this information to the City's Alternative Transportation Planner, David Littlejohn. Brad: What are the plans for a monument sign? Adam Dehart: We will comply with the City's Sign Ordinance. A Motion by Josh and seconded by to Sue forward Docket No. 19050012 DP/ADLS to the August 6 Commercial Committee with final voting authority. Motion passes 7-0,absent Campbell,Adams 2 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes 7-16-19
