No plans yet. Pad sites will go through additional design reviews.
All will likely have signage on building.
LANDSCAPING:
5% of the paved area needs to be landscaped. A 10’ landscaping strip is required on the street
frontage.
Planned for 12-15’ sidewalks. Will need to look at code change for downtown area.
Will make request to Council when asking for parking waiver.
STRUCTURES AND SITE LAYOUT:
Focus of meeting was the site plan. Three separate plans, difference between them is the
newest now shows parallel parking rather than diagonal on the street.
Still working with architect to finalize minor details.
Staff will be going to Ogden on Thursday to get ideas for transformer and dumpster locations as
well as snow removal, utility corridors, trees, etc. May modify drawings after that visit.
Dumpster pad sites will be accessible to sanitation.
Parking for employees on the north side of the building, parking for visitors on the street in
front. Will have handicap stalls and ADA access. Will need to ask Council for a waiver on parking
requirements. 126 required and providing 37 on site, 87 altogether. Pad sites will also be
sharing those parking spaces.
Green space against canal could be considered for future parking area as need arises.
Road north of city hall will need to be extended to connect to a future road on the block to the
south.
Wall around plaza is approximately 6ft. Spot for generator pad and generator in recessed area.
DRAINAGE: Design team is currently working on storm water retention. Have not seen layouts yet. Will
likely take water from entire site into street and under sidewalks.
PRETREATMENT: 1,500 gallon grease or oil/silt separator will not be needed, trap should be sufficient.
Josh will need application prior to building.

ADA ramps at crossings on Burley, at least on city hall side.
Improvements at Burley/Chubbuck a long ways out based on traffic study done by ICCU.
