LandCor PC Report May 7, 2003 Page 4 Landscaping A Landscaping Plan has been submitted with the plan set, however the plan lists generalized planting types (e.g., “Overstory Trees, Evergreen Trees); it does not identify which of the listed plantings would be utilized or in what numbers. The City Forester will review the planting schedule and make recommendations from the lists provided or make alternative recommendations. The applicant 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 attempt to match the landscaping provided on the theater 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 Landscape Plan should identify the existing landscaping materials on Edgewood Drive. Garbage Enclosure The site plan indicates that the garbage enclosure would be located at the rear of the building. No details were provided regarding the enclosure’s construction, however the PUD indicates that the enclosure shall be of the same construction as the building with solid, opaque, latching gates. Chain link is not an acceptable gate material. Signage No sign plan has been submitted for the site however staff has communicated the PUD requirements to LandCor representatives. While not specifically addressed, no pylon sign will be allowed, as the intent of the PUD is to establish a consistent design theme throughout the development, using similar construction, color and materials. The Theater sign has a masonry, monument styled base and the same would be required on this site. At a minimum, the plans should indicate where on the site the monument sign is proposed to be located Building Construction The proposed retail / restaurant building would be a single story building with a 7,785 square-foot footprint. The design is very appealing and the materials would match the proposed office building. Most of the building would be brick; with brick columns 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 the Abbey Carpet building currently under construction. The building is shown partitioned for three users with drive-up windows at either end of the building. There is an outdoor patio / eating area adjacent to Tenant 3’s space, however it appears as though Tenant 2 also has access to the patio area. Since the plans do not indicate a building height, I was unable to determine compliance with the PUD. The plans should be revise accordingly. General Site Plan Comments As with Outparcel A, the first four Site Plan General Notes listed on Page C2-2 do not relate to this development and need to be revised to reflect the subject development. The site plans should indicate snow storage areas.
