15 The architectural site plan indicates a 15’ x 20’ x 8’ trash enclosure structure on the south end of the senior building. The enclosure area includes trash and recycling receptacles and cardboard compactor. Trash and recycling materials are temporarily stored in the basement until they are moved to the outdoor enclosure. Staff is requesting more information and details on the operation of the compactor and services. Staff also encourages all trash and service areas be contained within the building. • It is not the intent of this plan to specify housing unit styles. However, garage units must not access directly onto the main access drive or the main public streets through the development. The cottage homes garages access onto a 26 foot wide private drive not the main public street. • The Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. Future development of the commercial corner will require these gateway elements. • The interface between new residential and commercial uses should be flexible. For example, new development in central areas can be multi-family, commercial, or mixed use. This would be consistent with the flexible land use lines noted above. Maintaining safety and quality of life are important considerations. The site design transitions from single story cottage homes on the west and north to the 2- story skilled nursing wing with the 3- and 4-story assisted-living and independent living wings closest to Hodgson Road. Intensity of development transitions from low near the existing single family neighborhood to high near the intersection. The senior living complex is also an employment center. • Lighting is to be appropriately scaled to a pedestrian friendly development. Lighting should be directed downward and screened to reduce light pollution, glare, and impacts on adjacent residential areas. Wall mounted down lit lighting is proposed on the exterior of the senior housing complex. Street lights ranging from 12 to 28 foot in height with down lit shields will be utilized in the parking lot and near the main entrance and loading area. Foot candles do not exceed 1.0 fc onto right-of-way as required by City performance standards. Two 15 foot street lights with down lit shields are proposed in the parking areas in the cottage home neighborhood. The photometric plan indicates zero (0) foot candle levels protruding onto adjacent residential properties. The applicant shall work with the local electric company to design a street lighting plan for the public road.
