August 28, 2017 Page 5 Landscaping: The plan provides a suggestion of the development’s landscaping concept through the Site Plan exhibit. However, the application does not include a separate landscaping exhibit and the elevation renderings do not provide landscaping detail. The site plan indicates boulevard tree plantings along the roadways surrounding Blocks 3 and 4 and the park plaza. Streetscape/Urban Design: The site plan and preliminary plat shows street design, sidewalks and trails incorporated into the project design. Setbacks shown on the site plan are 20 feet along most site boundaries (30 feet along Kenzie Terrace), while internal setbacks are zero feet. The applicant has also provided a narrative description of some of the design elements of the project including overall configuration of the parks and green space elements within the site design, height and density of the buildings, and integration of the site into the existing surrounding area and land use. Trails/Sidewalks: The preliminary plat shows 6-foot sidewalks integrated into the site design along all internal roads, as well as a sidewalk trail connecting Road A and Road B through the park plaza. While there is an existing sidewalk along both Stinson Blvd and Kenzie Terrace integrated into the project design, there are no proposed enhancements to existing sidewalks nor internal sidewalk connections proposed to connect Building E with the remainder of the site. Public Spaces/Parks: The preliminary site plan includes the following park and public space elements. These are proposed to be open to the public, but privately maintained and programmed. • Park/Plaza (Lot 2 Block 2): This 1.4-acre area is dedicated park space that includes a stormwater pond, a fountain feature, and a plaza. Site plan renderings show opportunity for additional park features to be incorporated into the park design. • Building plazas/open space: Buildings A, B, C and D each incorporate a plaza or courtyard area into their design. Environmental Assessment Worksheet: A full report was completed for the analysis of the environmental impacts, including infrastructure impacts, contamination, traffic, and permitting required. Detailed information was analyzed, and this report is available on the city’s website, or at city hall.
