Silverview Estates Staff Report December 4, 1997 • Page 4 Wetland Preservation: The existing wetland is being preserved in its entirety, and water quality on site will improve through implementation of surface water management techniques required by the Rice Creek Watershed District. The wetland area will serve as a site amenity for the residential and office uses that front on this resource. Lighting: Detailed lighting plans have been reviewed for the PUD with particular attention paid to the canopy lighting for the Holiday Stationstore site. The Planning Commission and City Staff have reviewed the impact of glare generated by the proposed lighting system; and, even though site photometrics for the lighting originally proposed meet City requirements, inspection of other Holiday stores with similar lighting arrays suggested that off-site glare could be a problem. The applicant representative has agreed to utilize a baffle within each fixture that, according to revised photometrics, effectively reduces glare by as much as 50% or more. Revisions to the PUD Document(Exhibit 1 of Resolution 5127): The intent of the Development Plan stage of the PUD approval process is to refine the broad ideas put forth in the General Concept Plan. As a result, some of the parameters established in the original PUD document have been modified in order to make this project the best it can be. Upon adoption of the resolution approving the Development Plan for Silverview Estates, the following items from the original PUD document will be modified: • • The senior housing square footage will be increased from 84,000 sq. ft. with 83 units to 115,800 with 82 units. This change is due to an error in the scaling of the building on the concept plan drawing. The footprint has not changed, and regardless of the number of square feet, the building mass and general design have not changed. As such, the necessary amendment to the PUD reflects a modification to the square footage number to reflect actual building footprint. • In light of the County's need to increase the right-of-way width for Silver Lake Road, an additional 3 feet of right-of-way will be dedicated along Lot 4 adjacent the senior residential building. This will reduce the setback for the senior residence and associated parking lots by 3 feet, from 30' to 27'. • The table indicating the amount of impervious and pervious land areas will need to be modified to reflect the actual amounts shown on the drainage and utility plan. • The recreational vehicle service center proposed on site to the rear of the Holiday Stationstore will be added to the permitted use list in the PUD, and the sit-down restaurant will be removed from the list of permitted uses since it is no longer a proposed use within the site. • To better accommodate customers, employees and residents within the PUD, the vast majority of the parking stalls are shown to be 10'x 18' in size. The PUD is to be modified to indicate that either the 10'x 18'or the 9'x 20'(as required by City Code) are permitted within the PUD, but that in no case shall the stall size fall below 180 total square feet.
