• • Kohl's Kohl's is proposed to be constructed of masonry materials that include predominantly brick on the front with a stucco accent pattern at the entrances. The sides and rear of the building transitions to block. As stated with the proposed Target elevation, the rear of the building is very visible to the area to the north and more attention should be paid to the design and materials used. Park Dedication Park dedication will be cash fees in lieu of land and should be provided at the rate in effect at the time of the final plat. The current rate is based on a formula of $133 per 1,000 square feet of building, or approximately $44,000. Signs A total sign package has been proposed that includes wall signage as well as freestanding signs. The narrative and the example submitted for the pylon signs are not consistent. The signs are subject to a separate review and sign permit through the City. Under the PDO staff would anticipate flexibility in the allowable signage as long as it is submitted as a total package. No signage should be allowed on the rear of any businesses facing the adjacent residential area. Preliminary Plat The application includes a preliminary plat for the site. The plat as submitted proposes nine lots plus four outlots. The lots are created to provide individual lots for each proposed user. Several of the lots do not have frontage on a public road so appropriate easements regarding access, parking and circulation will have to be provided. The minimum lot size in the SC zoning district is 3 acres. Under the PDO this provision would be waived. Environmental Assessment Worksheet Based on the size of the proposed project, an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is mandatory. This process is designed to identify significant environmental effects that may require a more detailed environmental impact statement. Based upon Chapter 4410.3100 of the administrative rules governing environmental review, a project may not be started and a final governmental decision may not be made to grant a permit, approve a project or begin a project until a negative declaration on the need for an EIS is made. While a draft EAW document has been submitted, the document has not been processed through the City or Environmental Quality Board. Until the process is complete and the City has determined that an EIS is not necessary the City should not take action to approve the project. Ryan Companies Target Superstore Page 5 of 6
