SUP & Site Plan Amendment: Clearscape Landscaping Planning Commission Report; 4-20-21 Page 6 Proposed Site Plan Updates: Main changes proposed to the site will include:  The existing opaque wall, non-existent gate, and see through fence will be replaced with an slat fence (see page 5) that will provide better screening of on-site storage from view from Old Highway 8 as compared to present conditions (i.e. no screening). The slatted fence will provide for opaque screening when viewed at an angle, but will allow for some visibility when viewed straight-on.  Fourteen (14) new “customer” parking spaces, including four handicapped spaces, have now been identified to the west and south of the existing building. Employee parking would still occur within the proposed new parking lot.  The existing small retail area (10’ x 15’) will be remodeled this spring. The majority of on-site business will be materials pick up between the hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends. Building Materials / Height:  No changes are currently proposed to the building other than painting the building to refresh the exterior. Further aesthetic updates will be pursued in future years. Landscaping:  No new landscaping is required by code. Changes to site landscaping will occur over time at the discretion of the new property owner. Lighting:  While no new lighting is proposed for the site, any problems with existing lighting that are later identified shall be brought into compliance with code requirements.  Should changes in lighting be proposed, the applicant must ensure that lighting is directed downward and installed so as to prevent direct light from being detectable at all lot lines. Lighting is also not to shine directly into the public right-of-way. Lot Access:  The access points to the property will not change from existing conditions.  In response to discussions at the Planning Commission level in January, the applicant recognizes the need to separate fleet traffic from customer traffic, and is therefor proposing the following separation of flows: o Clearscape employee crews and 3rd party landscape contractor crews (wholesale customers) will be directed to use the property’s 8th Ave SW entrance / exit. o Consumers visiting the store will be directed to use the Old Highway 8 entrance as they have historically been doing with D-Rock. Consumers that arrive with trailers will be asked to use the safer exit to the North when they depart.
