Betty's Pies, page 6 110Che plaza entry provided from the Town Center Parkway streetscape adequately functions as a `connecting walkway' to the main entry of the building. This connecting walkway exceeds the six foot width requirement; is to be constructed out of decorative pavement; and will be planted with shade trees spaced 25 feet on center. The lighting will be built directly into the steps leading from the streetscape to the plaza, and with a decorative light fixture matching the city's fixtures for the streetscape. All of the landscaping materials proposed as a part of the planting palette for the site satisfy the comments of the Environmental Board as well as city staff. Lighting The photometric lighting plan submitted with the application is in conformance with the minimum standards of Chapter 3.7 of the guidelines. The parking lot fixtures do not meet city standards and are being conditioned to be replaced by shoebox fixtures. The parking lot lighting that will be used for this phase of development must be repeated throughout this block, if not throughout the entire Legacy at Woods Edge project area. The building itself will include some architectural and building entry lights mounted directly to the building. These fixtures will be used to highlight the building massing and will enhance the pedestrian environment. Additionally, as was discussed in the landscape section of the report, a decorative lighting fixture is indicated within the plaza entry area on the southeast corner of the site. En ineerin The city's consulting engineer on the Legacy project is Short Elliot Hendrickson (S.E.H.), and a memorandum including all of their comments is attached to the report. Any outstanding issues will be addressed through the site performance agreement and building permit process prior to construction. Final Plat The final plat for the project (Village No. 4) is attached 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 City Council approval for this building. ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD The Environmental Board reviewed this application at the August 3l regular meeting. Their comments are attached and are addressed in the landscaping portion of this report.
