Town Center 3rd Addition- Site Plan/Poffd BUilding December 29, 2004 Page 2 of 5 Floor Area Ratio: Since the Pond '. Buil~ng is proposed to be located on Lot 1 with several other structures, the floor area ratio Will have to be reviewed based on the entire development plan for Lot 1. In addition to the Pond BMlding, Lot 1 of Town Center 3rd Addition is proposed to accommodate the grocery store, fuel pgmp islands, and 2 other commercial structures. The area of Lot 1 is 388,677 square feet. The minimum floor area ratio is .5 or 194,338 square feet in this case. At the time of final plan apPro9al of Phase 1, the total floor area was 95,430 square feet. Since that time, the proposed size or, the Pond Building has increased by 1,200 square feet and the new total for Lot 1 will be 96,6301square feet. This calculation still falls short of the .5 floor area to lot size ratio; however, a'variance to the floor area ratio was granted as a part of the Phase 1 review process. Setbacks: The proposed Town center Zoning District has setback standards based on the principle of "build to" lines rather than traditional setbacks. This is especially important for the front yard since it is typically where the ~Uilding presentation relationship is to the street. The setbacks in the TC~2 District have been e~tablished as follows: Front; 0-15 feet, Side: 10 foot setback from building to building, 0 foot ,Setback from building to property line, Rear 30 feet. The Pond building meets the side, rear, and building-to-building setbacks. However, it does not comply with the maximum front yard setbabk from Sunwood Drive. A variance to the front yard setback requirement will be submitted :to the Board of Adjustment on December 2, 2004. Grading and Drainage Plan: The site gra. ding and drainage were reviewed and commented on as part of the Phase 1 approval. The area 0. utside the multi-tenant restaurant building should be shaded to indicate that it is not part or,this ~eview:package. The proposed drive up access on this building has been included in revised plans for Phase 1, prepared by URS and dated 12-16-04. Revised plans for Phase 1 were issued Noyember 12, 2004. The plans state that the retaining walls around the pond are not designed for strUctural loads. The building plans for this building must be coordinated with the plans for Ph~e 1 retaining walls so that the building footings will be adequately protected. Landscaping: A revised landscaPing Plan~ dated December 7, 2004, has been submitted. The revised plan has addressed all of Staff's concerns. However, Staff believes it is necessary to reemphasize the need for a diverse group of species to be utilized. The species palette indicates that of the 344 shrubs, 1:75 of them will cohSist of spireas. The individual species of spirea are not identified in the species palette, therefore, at least four (4) to five (5) different varieties must be utilized. All trees must be kept 151 feet from fire hydrants. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all Solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored within a completely screened structure or container, i The submittal identifies a waste storage area on the northwest side of the building that is constructed with masonry materials. The waste storage area complies with City Code.
