Lakewood Apartment, page 3 Sarking This site is a part of what was identified as Block 2 of the Land Use Plan for Legacy at Wood's Edge. As was mentioned earlier, the layout of this block is proposed to be changed slightly. Within this block 280 parking spaces are being provided (including on- street and underground parking). This proposed building will require more spaces than what was originally accounted for in the shared parking analysis; however the shared parking analysis shows that at this point only 200 parking spaces will be required by all of the proposed uses on this block once the restaurant is added and the combination of the lots is accounted for. This will obviously change as each lot is developed and staff will verify that each use has the appropriate amount of parking available. The parking requirements for this building alone are 173 parking spaces. With the underground and on- street parking for this site there will be in excess of 196 spaces provided with this phase of the development. Lighting The photometric lighting plan meets the guidelines of the Town Center Design and Development guide, but it does not account for the wall mounted luminaries. The mounting height of the lighting is also not indicated. All pole mounted lights within the parking lot are limited to a maximum height of 20 feet, and all other pole mounted lights used for walkway or other lighting are limited to a maximum height of 14 feet. It is also recommended that the Domus luminaire located near the north entrance drive be moved further east to avoid the garage entrance. A revised lighting plan indicating conformance with these recommendations must be ibmitted. Engineering The city's consulting engineer on the Legacy project is S.E.H., and a memorandum including all of their comments is attached to the report. The issues addressed in that memorandum are another reason staff is recommending to continue this item to the next regular meeting. There are numerous issues that though they may not affect the final layout of the site, still need to be addressed prior to city staff feeling comfortable making a recommendation on the item for the Planning and Zoning Board. Final Plat The final plat for the project (Village No. 4) is attached as to the same agenda as a separate item, and a condition will be added to this review that the final plat must be approved prior to any building permits for this building. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed this application at the August 31st regular meeting. Their comments are attached and many were addressed in the landscaping portion of the staff report. Additionally, the board was concerned with the recycling program for the apartment complex. Staff will include a condition requiring that a full recycling plan be submitted and approved when this item is brought back to the Planning and Zoning ooard.
