ISSUES & ANALYSIS Subdivision. The subject property is intended to be platted in a unit/base lot configuration to allow individual ownership of the structures with common ownership of all site open areas. The submitted Final Plan for Heritage Office Park 3rd Addition is consistent with the PUD Concept Plan submitted in 1995. Proposed Structures. The four proposed office buildings to be constructed as part of the 3rd Addition are anticipated to be consistent with those approved and constructed as part of the 2nd Addition. Any building designs not consistent with those approved in 1995 will require the applicant to provide proposed elevations that will be subject to review and approval of the City Council. Site Landscaping. The landscaping for the proposed 3rd Addition is illustrated on plans dated 9 -5 -95 that were submitted as part of the first phase of the development. Staff commented at that time that the landscaping plan needed to be revised to provide additional coniferous plantings along the east property line in order to provide adequate screening at all times of the year for a residential use to the east. The applicant will be required to address this issue with a revised landscape plan to be submitted for staff review. Accessory structure. As illustrated on the 9 -6 -95 site plan, the south two - thirds of the property are encumbered by an NSP powerline easement. At the time the 2nd Addition was considered, NSP had indicated that no structures could be constructed within the easement area. The site plan for the proposed 3rd Addition indicates the location of an accessory garage structure on a proposed unit lot along the east edge of the parking area, within the NSP easement. The applicant will be required to provide documentation from NSP allowing the construction of the garage structure within the easement, or will have to remove the proposed structure from the site plan and revise the proposed final plat to remove Lot 6. If the applicant provides documentation that the proposed structure will be allowed within the easement area, they will be required to submit proposed elevations and materials for review. The design of the proposed garage structure will be required to be generally consistent with that of the principal structures. Trash. The 9 -5 -95 site plan indicates a trash storage area to the south of the proposed accessory garage structure. Trash storage for the 2nd Addition was accommodated within the structures with the removal of proposed garage structures in the NSP easement. It is assumed that a similar solution for trash storage will occur with regard to the 3rd Addition should NSP not allow the proposed garage structure illustrated on the 9 -5 -95 site plan. 2 Page 39
