Planning Commission Report Silver Lake Commons Amended Development Review Planning Case No. 487-97 and 504-97 • September 3, 1997 Page 3 Changes to Approved Site Plan: The most evident change to the site plan is the elimination of the six-unit building fronting Highway 10 on the City-owned parcel. The driveway that had serviced these units has also been removed. The on-site management office and recreation center has been relocated to the south end of the 26- stall garage structure. The locations of the larger play structure and the grill/picnic area have been moved closer to the dwelling units to accommodate them completely on the subject property. As a result of the reduction in dwelling units, parking spaces were reduced as well but meet the requirements of the Code and Resolution 513-97, which approved a variance to the parking ratios from 1.5 surface stalls to 1.15 surface stalls per dwelling unit. Drainage and Ponding: The original drainage plan utilized much of the open area provided in the City-owned lot. Without the City land, the run-off volume decreases substantially as the site no longer needs to account for drainage from Eastwood Road. The overall area of this development, including the Red Oak Apartments, has been reduced from 3.78 acres to 2.93 acres. At the time that this report was drafted, the revised drainage plans and volume calculations were not available. They are planned to • be forwarded to Rocky Keehn, the City's engineer, for comment prior to this evening's meeting. A preliminary discussion with Mr. Keehn however indicated that problems were not anticipated with the drainage. Access and Parking: No changes with regard to access have been made to the site plan. Access to the site will be accomplished with a single entryway south of the existing Red Oak Apartments entryway. The drive access will be in between the apartments and the townhome units. The existing driveway scrvicing Red Oak Apartments will be removed. The proposed driveway would be 28 feet wide as requested by the Fire Marshal. The number of parking spaces have been reduced to account for the six fewer dwelling units. Eight future parking stalls are shown on the plan adjacent to the main entryway along Highway 10. Since parking can be located within five feet of a property line in residential districts, this location--while not optimal--is acceptable. There are nine additional future parking stalls on the north side of the 17-unit Red Oak Apartment building. Figuring in the 17 future parking stalls, 75 surface parking stalls are possible, which meets the criteria of the City Code and Planning Commission Resolution 513-97. There would be 51 garage stalls for the 50 dwelling units. Altogether, 109 parking stalls would be provided with an additional 17 stalls set aside in proof-of-parking. Including the 17 • future stalls, 126 stalls could be provided.
