MIPH Report to Council March 26, 2001 Page 2 Winiecki Setback: The MIPH office building was originally proposed to be set back 30 feet from the Highway 10 property line, which is the minimum setback allowed per City Code and the Silverview Estates PUD. In response to concerns from Mr. Winiecki that the proposed building would block all visibility to his own building, the developer offered to pull their building back an additional 20 feet, incurring added expenses in doing so. Mr. Winiecki however maintains that the building should be set back as far from Highway 10 as his own building—approximately 73 feet. The applicant has stated that it would be cost prohibitive to pull the building back any further. Later in this report I will address Mr. Winiecki’s concerns and what has been done in response to this issue. Parking: The Silverview Estates PUD established the parking requirements for the office component to be one space per 250 square feet of gross floor area. The building is shown to be 16,912 square feet (13,912 square feet plus another 3,000 square foot first floor expansion), which would result in the provision of 68 spaces. The site plan shows 70 spaces. The second expansion would be a upper story addition of 6,000 square feet which would require an additional 24 spaces and a total of 92 spaces at full build-out. In addition to the 70 stalls provided, 22 spaces are indicated as proof of parking, to be constructed if and when the second-story expansion is completed. The parking plan is consistent with the PUD and also complies with the ADA requirements for handicapped accessible stalls. Wetland Buffer: The original Silverview Estates PUD anticipated encroachment within the 100-foot wetland buffer. The approval established a maximum impervious surface coverage of 40 percent. The proposed building with expansion would cover approximately 16.5 percent of the buffer area, significantly less that what was originally shown on the general concept plan. Landscaping: The applicant has provided a landscape plan which was reviewed and approved by Rick Wriskey, the City Forester, after making small changes to the types of species being provided. Lighting: The applicant has submitted a photometric analysis of the site based on the foot-candle readings of the proposed lighting. According to the photometric analysis, there are three parking lot pole lights, three building mounted wall packs, and three lights recessed into the underside of the front entry canopy. The parking lot poles will be 24 feet tall and the
