LandCor PC Report May 7, 20p3 Page 4 Lan_dscaping A Landscaping Plan has been submitted wiih the plan set, however the pfan lists general�zed planting types {e.g., "Overstory irees, Evergreen Trees), it does not identify which of the listed plantings would be ufilized or in what numbers. The City Forester wiH review the planting schedule and make r�commendations from the lists provided or make alternative recommendaiions. The appiicanfi shall revise the plan based upon the City Forester's comments and to show all species and in what quantities. Furthermore, there should be an atfempt to match the landscaping provided on the theafer site and along Edgewood Drive to whatever extent possible. The City Forester shall approve different plantings only if not considered inconsistent with the existing. Last, the Landsc�pe Plan should idenfifiy the existing landscaping materials on �dgewood Drive. Garbaqe Enclosure The site plan ir�dicates that fihe garbage enclosure wauld be located at the rear of the building. No details were provided regarding the enclosure's construction, however the PUD indicates fihat the enclosure shali be of the same construction as the building with solid, opaque, latching gates. Chain link is not an acceptabfe gafe materiai. Signaqe No sign plan has been submitfied for the site however s�aff has communicated the PUD `� requirements to LandCor representaiives. While not specifically addressed, no pylon sign wilf be allowed, as the intent of the PUD is to establish a consisteni design iheme throughout the devefopment, using simifar construction, color and materials. The Theater sign has a masonry, monument styled base and #he same would be required on this site. At a minimum, the plans should indicate where on the site fihe monument sign is pro�aosed to be located Building Construction The proposed refai[ / resiaurant building would be a single sfory buifding witE� a 7,785 square-faot footprint. The design is very appealing and the materia(s would match the proposed office building. Most of the building woufd be brick; with brick coiumns and an EFIS roof detail. Fabric awnings are shown adding more character to the building. The entryways would have a tall arched design very similar to fihe Abbey Carpef building currently under canstruction. The building is shown partitior�ed forthree users with drive-up windows at either end of the building. There is an autdoor pafio / eating area adjacent to Tenant 3's space, however it appears as though Tenant 2 also l�as access #a the patio area. Since the plans do r�ot indicate a building height, I was unable fo determine compliance with the PUD. The plans should be revise according(y. Ceneral Site Plan Comments As with Outparcel A, the first four Site Pian General Nofes listed on Paga C2-2 do nat relafie to �his developmen� and need to be revised io reflecfi the subject development. The site pfans shaufd indicate snow storage areas.
