City Council Meeting March 21, 2023 Page 11 Streets and Access: Access to Lots 1‐3, Block 2 will be provided from a private shared commercial drive that extends north from Hudson Boulevard through the center of the site. The private driveway is proposed at the approved Hudson Boulevard access location for the north parcel. Due to Fire Code regulations, there are limitations on the size of future buildings accessed from this private drive. A condition has been added limiting the total square feet of buildings on Lots 1-3 Block 2 to not exceed 124,000 sq. feet unless a secondary access is approved by the City. Lot 1, Block 1 is also proposing to connect driveways with the adjacent retail strip center. Pedestrian access is proposed with a marked crosswalk across Hudson Boulevard. Sidewalk and trails will be connected within the PUD and to the adjacent properties. Subdivision requirements: The subdivision has been reviewed in conjunction with the PUD. Deviations from the standards are allowed with the PUD. The proposed lots meet minimum lot area and width requirements. A deviation is being request to allow lots to front on a private driveway versus a required public street (103.00.140) The City Attorney needs to review the title work and provide a plat opinion prior to review of the final plat. A condition is included. A Developers Agreement will be required as part of future plat approval. The City Engineer has reviewed for conformance with engineering standards. His memo is attached, and all items are to be addressed as part of the final plat submittal. Lighting 105.04.070: City code requires that light fixtures be downcast and shielded. Light quantities shall exceed one footcandle meter reading as measured from the centerline of the street, nor shall any light or combination of lights, which cast light on an adjacent property, exceed 0.4 footcandles as measured from said property line. The auto dealer is proposing downcast and shielded light fixtures that are wall mounted and on poles. Pole heights are 8 feet and 25 feet on 2.5-foot base. (Not taller than the building). Foot candles exceed .4 at the property lines along the private drive, between Lots 1-2, Block 2 and are close to zero at the front line (thus meeting centerline foot candles). On the fast-food site, 18-foot- tall poles on 2 foot base are proposed (same height as the building). Foot candles proposed are .6 on the corner side lot line, 1.4 on the rear lot line and 2.6 on the side abutting the retail strip mall. The footcandles meet the ordinance at the centerline of the street. Deviations are being requested to exceed the footcandles as noted on the plans. Comprehensive Sign Plan: A Comprehensive sign plan is proposed for this PUD (attached). A deviation is being requested to consider the private driveway a street frontage for purposes of this PUD. The applicant is proposing wall signs, ground signs, and directional and informational signs. Sign permits are required and they must comply with the approved Comprehensive Sign Plan and City Ordinances. The sign ordinance has illumination standards. This information has not been provided. The Comprehensive Sign Plan shall be revised to show how this is met or language added that it will meet sign illumination requirements upon permit submittal. One wall sign and one ground sign per street frontage is allowed with exceptions. For buildings with over 100 feet of frontage, up to 3 ancillary wall signs are allowed. The maximum allowed wall sign is 1 sq. foot per length of building frontage. The maximum size of any wall sign is 100 sq. feet.
