Planning & Zoning Board September 14, 2005 Page 2 A. Planned Unit Development Final Plan for Apollo Landing, Equinox Development LLP, 540 Lilac Street Staff stated Equinox Development was previously approved by the City Council (in the form of a Development Stage Plan) for a 5 lot commercial subdivision on property located at 540 Lilac Drive. The application included a Rezoning to GB (General Business), a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Planned Unit Development, a Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat, and allocation of commercial MUSA reserve. The developer has now applied for a final plan for the hotel and is proposed for lot 1 of the plat. The final plat application includes the final building plans for the hotel as well as the final plat for the site. The developer will also include a restaurant pad on lot 5, and retail /commercial pads on Lots 2, 3, and 4. Those lots will be designated as outlots on the final plat and will be required to come back for final plan when building plans are prepared. Staff presented their analysis and recommended approval of the final plan for the hotel at Apollo Landing subject to the following conditions: 1. The first three feet of the base of the hotel must be constructed using belden brick, jewel blend as is called out currently as an alternate on the elevation. 2. The vinyl fence for the project must be a minimum of 80% opaque. 3. 20 additional parking spaces will need to be built within the subdivision to provide the minimum number of parking spaces for the proposed use. 4. Infiltration ponds must include city native seed mix, supplemented with potted plants. 5. A three -year management contract with and experienced native plant establishment and maintenance company must be established. 6. All sodded areas must be irrigated. 7. Mulch for landscape areas must be wood chip mulch rater than rock mulch. 8. Substitute Red or Autumn Blaze maples for all Norway maples on the landscape plan. 9. A revised landscape plan depicting all of the required changes in landscaping must be approved by city staff prior to the issuance of building permits for the site. Mr. Tralle stated having only three feet of base was not a tall enough base and believed this would look out of proportion. Mr. Bengston responded it was not the applicant's intention the base would be brick and the architectural design standards did not require masonry materials for the base, but staff was recommending a three -foot base.
