<br />Bank: This is the fmal phase of overall Rivenwick development. The proposal includes three <br />commercial buildings on Outlot A of Rivenwick Village: a multi~tenant retail building, <br />restaurant, and single-tenant retail building. The site is zoned Mixed-Use PUD; retail and <br />restaurant uses are permitted in this district. Ms. Geisler stated per the MU - PUD district, Staff <br />used some of the bulk standards in the B-2 Business District to evaluate the proposal. The <br />submitted site plan generally meets the B-2 setback requirement. Ms. Geisler explained City <br />Code requires 1 parking space for every 250 square feet of retail uses over 20,000 square feet. <br />Based on gross floor area, 493 parking spaces would be required for tlus site. 403 spaces are <br />shown on the site plan. Staff has asked the applicant to provide net floor areas which do not <br />include non-leasable space. . <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler stated there are two loading areas shown for the large multi-tenant <br />building: one on the southeast COl11er of the site, and one off of 13 8th Avenue. Both loading docks <br />are fully enclosed, which staff supports as a way to reduce the impact to the adjacent townhome <br />residents, however, staff has some concerns about truck traffic being diverted through the <br />neighborhood to access this dock, and truck maneuvering patterns to back into the dock. Some <br />revisions are required to the grading, utility, and landscaping plans. The applicant has indicated <br />that the buildings will be constructed of brick, cultured stone, and stucco on the front facades, <br />and stucco and face block on the rear facades, all of which meets City Code requirements. Staff <br />is recommending that the roofline features indicated on the front of the buildings be carried over <br />to the building elevation facillg the townhomes on Jasper Street and 138 th Avenue, at least on the <br />comers of the building. Ms. Geisler advised the submitted plans generally meet the requirements <br />established in City Code. Therefore staff is recommending approval of the preliminary site plan <br />contingent upon compliance with City Staff Review Letter dated March 30, 2007. <br /> <br />A resident expressed concern regarding typos on the map being presented. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler explained the lot split does not add right-of-way. None ofthe right-of- <br />way for the streets is contained in the boundary of the plat. She indicated staff will look into the <br />typo on the map. <br /> <br />Mr. Martin Klain, Hack Real Estate Associates provided a presentation on the preliminary site <br />plan for Hack Commercial Center. <br /> <br />Mr. Bruce Lindberg, 6996 139th Lane NW, stated this is right outside his window. He would not <br />have bought his home here if he would have known this would be here. <br /> <br />A resident located at 13915 Jasper Street NW stated his house immediately faces Village Bank. <br />He appreciates that the developer owns the property and it will be developed at some point. He <br />suggested this commercial use could be put into the unused commercial lots with the senior <br />center or another residential development in this area. This could increase the property value and <br />keep the area safer. They had no idea when they moved in here that there would be something of <br />this size that could be added. <br /> <br />Mr. Klain stated it was their understanding this land was part of a larger development, and that <br />this was the final piece that had been worked to be a commercial center.
