Hack Center: Preliminary Site Plan Review March 30, 2007 Revised. April 19, 2007 Page 3 of S to the townhomes on 139 Avenue and Jasper Street, at least at the corners of the buildings. The revised elevations show the towers on the corners. Staff is also recommending that the mechanical equipment on all the buildings be screened, particularly from the townhome residents to the east. At the Planning Commission meeting on April 5, 2007 there was considerable discussion about the building elevation on the east side of the main building, particularly about the amount of glass. The revised elevations show the glass has been reduced somewhat in this area. Please be prepared to discuss this issue with the City Council Lighting: All exterior lighting on the site must be arranged in such a way to avoid illumination of the public street. The submitted lighting plan conforms to City Code if the bulbs in the exterior light posts are not visible from surrounding properties. Shop drawings of the lighting fixtures may be submitted for review of compliance with the city's commercial lighting standards. Waste Storage: City Code requires that all solid waste and refuse receptacles be stored within a completely screened structure or container. As noted below, waste storage and disposal for the main building will be completely internal, accessed through a maintenance area off of 139 Lane and Jasper Street. Waste storage for the restaurant building will be on the east side of the building, and for Building C will be across the parking area next to the stormwater pond. Utilities: This facility will be served by municipal sewer and water service which is currently available to the site. Water can be provided from two directions in the event of a water service interruption. A valve should be added o the waterline at the west connection. Off - Street Parking - Spaces Required: City Code requires 1 parking space for each 250 square feet of retail uses over 20,000 square feet, and 1 parking space for every 3 restaurant seats. Leaseable space in Buildings A and B total 104,552 square feet resulting in a need for 418 parking spaces. Building C (proposed restaurant use) will have 160 seats resulting in a need for 53 parking spaces, for an overall total of 471 spaces. The site plan shows 402 spaces. Because the project is within the MU -PUD district, a deviation from the overall parking requirements is permissible. Staff is of the opinion that some sharing of parking spaces between the different uses is appropriate, given the multiple buildings on the site and overall site layout. Off Street Parking — Design: In accordance with City Code, all parking and maneuvering areas must be surfaced with bituminous and the perimeter of all pavement will be finished with B6/12 concrete curbing. Staff understands that you have had preliminary discussions on combining the parking lot for this project with the existing lot for Village Bank. Staff supports making this connection.
