22 Legacy Christian Academy Sketch .Plan Review September 27, 2010 Page2of5 Architectural Standards: Some combination of brick, stone, stucco, wood, glass would be required for the facade of the building. All other materials would have to be approved by the City. Building Height: The B -1 District has a maximum height of 35 feet for all buildings within this district. The proposed site plan is deficient in detail related to building height, and therefore, City Staff cannot adequately assess building height regulations. However, the proposed building appears to be proposed at two (2) stories and should comply with code. Access and Streets: The site proposes two accesses from an extension of Bunker Lake Blvd. as a local street within a proposed 120 foot right -of -way. Upon 'development, Outlot A would access an improved Puma St and Alpine Dr. and Outlot B would access from the extended Bunker Lake Blvd. and potentially an improved Puma St. Full build out of Bunker Lake Blvd it is planned as a four lane road with two lanes in each direction. A first phase is being proposed to construct one lane in each direction, cul -de -sac terminating just west of the softball fields, and a trail on the north side of Bunker Lake Blvd to Puma St arid then north to Outlot A. The proposed cul -de -sac exceeds the 600 foot maximum length that exists in Section: 117- 614(c)(7) of City Code, therefore revisions should be made to extend Bunker Lake Boulevard all the way to Puma Street. Puma Street should then be upgraded to minimum. City paving standards to Alpine Drive (including a trail) to serve as a secondary access into the project area In addition, the westerly leg of the Bunker Lake and Armstrong Blvd intersection would need to be constructed full width, based upon the revised traffic analysis and ultimate intersection design. Consistent with the City's comprehensive trail plan and 2030 Comprehensive Plan, an off road trail easement is shown on the norther edge of the wetland on Lot 1 and the southern edge of Outlot A. However, as the easement is proposed as 10 feet and Staff would like this easement to be a minimum of 20 feet and requests the trail to be built with the proposed improvements, which construction costs could be credited against the required trail development fees. Further, additional trail easements would be required along the east side of Lot 1 so that a continuous . route is maintained through the site froth Puma/Alpine to Bunker /Armstrong. Landscape Review - Reviewer: Chris Anderson canderson(d ci.ratiasevann_as 763 -433 -9905 Landscape Plan: Based on the lineal footage of the site (11,550 feet), the number of proposed parking stalls (692) and the additional required plantings for the bufferyard area, a total of 358 trees and 385 shrubs are required. The proposed Landscaping plan includes 320 newly planted trees (as well as about thirty-four [34] existing trees that will be preserved) and includes a list of various shrub species that will also be planted (but without identifying quantities). The following continents are offered regarding the September 3, 2010 Landscaping Plan prepared by Anderson Engineering: • All proposed tree and shrub species are acceptable; however, the final landscape plan must indicate size of plants at time of installation, root stock, quantities of each species and exact location of each species throughout site.
