Marketplace's northwestern driveway. This apron will be widened to accommodate one in-bound lane and two <br /> outbound lanes. This driveway will be shared between the hotel site and the future site to the north. A <br /> cross-access and maintenance agreement will be needed so that both property owners will have access rights and <br /> maintenance responsibility for the shared areas (this easement will be recorded with the plat). The secondary <br /> access will be from Zeolite Street. <br /> The Applicant has proposed 135 total parking spaces in the parking lot, six of which are ADA-compliant, four <br /> reserved for electric vehicle charging, and another six 10-foot wide spaces for oversized vehicles. All the <br /> remaining parking spaces meet the minimum commercial parking requirement of 9'wide by 16' long. The parking <br /> area is proposed to consist of bituminous pavement with 24'wide drive aisles throughout, except along the <br /> building is 26' as required by the Fire Code for multi-story buildings. One space per room and one space per <br /> employee are required. Approximately 110 spaces would be required. The parking lot is somewhat oversized for <br /> what is needed today, though it takes into account future expansion. There is room at the eastern end of Sunwood <br /> Drive for two or three on-street parking spaces. <br /> Zeolite Street was not constructed to its final design(it was constructed as a temporary street several years ago). <br /> It will be reconstructed in the next couple years to include new pavement and concrete curb and gutter while being <br /> raised up. With that project, sidewalks and street lights will be installed. The driveway to Zeolite is designed <br /> with reconstruction slopes in mind. It is unknown if Zeolite will be constructed to accommodate on-street <br /> parking. <br /> Pedestrian Connections and Streetscape <br /> A concrete walkway is proposed around the west,north, and east elevations. The south elevation does not have a <br /> full sidewalk proposed along Sunwood Drive but does have three points of access to the hotel with concrete area. <br /> The sidewalk portion on the east side is proposed to connect to the City right-of-way along Zeolite Street, with a <br /> note to coordinate with the City on this improvement. <br /> Along the Sunwood Drive side of the building, a semi-enclosed patio is proposed with private seating areas for <br /> guests. This patio will help bring activity to the streetfront. The patio will have a stone kneewall and a louvered <br /> screen above it. <br /> Utilities <br /> City sanitary sewer and water are available to the site. A water line will be looped through the parking lot for fire <br /> hydrats. <br /> Landscaping <br /> The applicant has provided a landscape plan that provides for good tree and shrub cover throughout the site. The <br /> Environmental Policy Board(EPB)was scheduled to review the landscape plan on April 17. Along Sunwood <br /> Drive, several trees were planted when the road was reconfigured a few years ago. Along Sunwood Drive,the <br /> plans show two large planting beds, similar in size to the ones in front of GiGi's Salon across the intersection. <br /> This enhanced streetscape is likely needed to be extended westward so that it matches the western extent of <br /> streetscaping along the south side of Sunwood Drive. Beyond that point to the west,the existing boulevard has <br /> trees planted that should remain. <br /> Slns <br /> The applicant is proposing wall-mounted signage on the building and a monument sign near the Sunwood Drive <br /> driveway. The monument sign is identified on the site plan,though no renderings are provided. COR Framework <br /> allows for a 6-foot tall, 100-square-foot sign to be constructed there. Base materials must match the building and <br /> will be verified through a standard sign permit. The wall signs are shown on the upper part of each facade. COR <br /> Framework allows for signage on street-facing sides of the building. With the high signage, staff recommends <br /> adding street-level signage near each door for the benefit of the pedestrians. An allowance for these signs is <br /> provided in the approval resolution should the applicant choose to install additional signs. <br /> Lighting <br /> The applicant submitted a photometric plan that shows for adequate lighting across the property line and that <br />
