10. Provision of additional detail related to other portions of the building that may be exposed (if any) due to impacts of the steep slopes. The applicant has submitted revised building &ovations, showing exterior materials to be brick, cultured stone, cement -board siding, and colored rock - faced concrete block — the latter material will be primarily visible only from the east (pond) side of the building. Small portions of the north facing foundation of the building will also be visible from Country Drive. Staff would suggest that these exposures be considered for the continuation of the materials being used on the walls above the foundation level — stone or brick. 11. Other recommendations of staff and city officials. Final Plat and Final PUD As noted above, there have been some updates to the plans, primarily related to exterior elevations, and the civil plans (grading, utilities, etc.). A number of zoning and PUD documents are necessary to finalize the approvals. These include the following: a. Landscaping plan. b. Lighting plan. c. Signage plan. d. Floor plans verifying parking availability. e. Final Plat drawings verifying easements for trail, and proposed right of way vacations, etc. The primary change to the site plan is a relocation of the driveway entrance point farther east on County Drive. This change will ensure greater notice for turning traffic. The other change is to the open parking supply in front of the building, highlighting the importance of the underground parking supply and layout. Summary and Recommendation The remaining plans are important to ensuring that the project, as envisioned by the City, is approved with a clear understanding of the components of the site and building plans proposed. To go forward at this point, planning staff would recommend that final PUD and Final Plat approval would be granted only as they relate to the following: I. Engineering and Civil improvements, subject to comments and recommendations of the City Engineer. 11. General building architecture and materials, with the staff comment that the north face of the building foundation level be modified to carry the brick and stone to the base of the exposed building wall. 111. General site plan approval as proposed, subject to comments of the City Engineer.
