Comprehensive Plan, City of Paris, Texas Future Land Use For other than single-family and two-family residential, no building shall be erected that does not meet the following minimum standards: A. Rooftop equipment shall be screened from view from the ground near the building with vertical extensions of the building walls or with parapets or other architectural design features of the same materials used on the walls of the building. Where the topography permits, it is desirable to screen such equipment from adjacent property, but it is not the intent of this requirement to increase the height of the screening significantly above that of the equipment in order to screen it from view from tall buildings or from higher ground. Raised exterior walls or screen walls should be designed to enclose groups of equipment. Wall material should be compatible with or identical to the predominant opaque material on the exterior of the building. B. Dumpster Enclosure and Improvements: (1) Exterior refuse will be kept in an enclosed area large enough to contain a week of refuse and be contained in a refuse bin equipped with a lid. (2) The enclosure shall be a minimum of 12 feet wide to allow access for the truck picking up the refuse bin. The depth of the enclosure should be the depth of the refuse bin being used plus an additional 4 feet to allow for the mechanical dumping of the refuse bin. The enclosure shall have a minimum height of 5 feet. (3) The floor of the enclosure shall be reinforced concrete with a minimum thickness of 4" with #4 reinforcing at 24" each direction. (4) There shall be a 12' x 12' concrete pad in front of the enclosure. This pad should be a minimum depth of 8" and have reinforcing rods, and have a test strength of 4,000psi. - (5) The enclosure should be shielded on three sides by a wall or decorative fence and positioned in such a manner to shield the refuse bins from sight of any public thoroughfare or adjoining property. When decorative fence is used the corner post should be made of steel pipe with a 4 inch minimum diameter and filled with concrete. (6) The number and location of the refuse bins shall be located on the site plans prior to approval and the capacity of each refuse bin shall be noted on the plans. C. The form and proportion of buildings shall be consistent or compatible with the scale, form and proportion of existing development in the immediate area. S:V8288\WPCNfina1 rcpun 2-0l.ckw 72 BWR
