proposed signage for the residential and commercial components of the building. <br />Landscape Plan <br />The Landscape Plan includes street trees along Ramsey Parkway (Sienna Glen Maple) and Zeolite Street <br />(Boulevard Linden) and a mix of trees, shrubs, and ornamental grasses internal to the site. There are also <br />numerous trees either adjacent to the surface parking stalls or in the raised islands within the parking lot. The <br />existing street trees in the boulevard along Sunwood Drive will be protected and preserved throughout the <br />construction process. The Landscape Plan does a good job of not only addressing the streetscape requirements of <br />The COR, but also ensuring the interior of the Subject Property is well landscaped. Staff has identified a few <br />corrections that are necessary and has also included some recommendations for the Applicant to consider, but <br />there are no major concerns with what is proposed. <br />Lighting Plan <br />Section 106-310 of City Code provides lighting regulations for all developments in the City. All photometric <br />readings will measure less than 0.5 footcandles at the property line and will measure at least 1.0 footcandle <br />throughout the parking lot in compliance with City Code. All lighting must be downcast and shielded. The <br />proposed lighting plan shows a 20-foot mounting for light poles in the parking lot, which match those for Home2 <br />Suites to the south, as well as several 12-foot pedestrian -oriented light poles and various wall -mounted light <br />fixtures to provide visual interest. <br />Utilities <br />The building will be connected to municipal water via a stub at the northwest corner of the property. There will be <br />two other municipal water connections (one to the south, and the other to the east) to serve fire hydrants in the <br />parking lot. Additionally, the building will be connected to sanitary sewer via a stub to the north along Ramsey <br />Parkway, which was constructed as part of the COR Infrastructure Project. <br />Stormwater Management <br />All stormwater from the site will be directed into a network of pipes that flow into the large regional retention <br />basin in Waterfront Park then into the regional infiltration basin at the southeast portion of the COR. A separate <br />system of pipes will collect stormwater from a trench drain at the bottom of the parking garage ramp. This will <br />help prevent back-up and overflow of stormwater pipes during high -precipitation weather events. In lieu of <br />constructing a storm water basin on -site, the Applicant will contribute the cost of constructing a storm water basin <br />on -site into a fund to maintain the regional basin. <br />Alternatives <br />Alternative 1: Recommend approval of the Site Plan, as requested by the Applicant and recommended by Staff. <br />Alternative 2: Recommend approval of the Site Plan with modifications based on discussion. <br />Alternative 3: Recommend denial of the Site Plan based on supporting findings of fact. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. <br />The property is City -owned and the Applicant would be purchasing the property. Development fees will be <br />calculated at the time of Development Agreement. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of the Site Plan. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to recommend approval of a Site Plan Review for a mixed -use building at 7979 Sunwood Drive NW. <br />Attachments <br />
