Heartland Credit Union Site Plan and PUD Amendment Page 5 It is in staff’s opinion that the applicant has done a good job in complying with the spirit and intent of the Victor Gardens PUD general plan. They have created a clear main entrance, incorporated French architectural elements within the roof line and gables, and using similar materials to existing buildings within the development by using the brick veneer and manufactured stone. Staff will continue to work with the applicant on the color of materials and approval of the material sample board is listed as a condition of approval. Signage There is an existing monument sign on site for the Victor Gardens development. The applicant shows the monument sign remaining on site. The applicant is showing on the plans a wall sign on the east and south sides of the building. The applicant will need to apply for a sign permit and all details will be reviewed and approved at that time. Although staff believes the general location of the sign is appropriate, the applicant will have to meet the criteria in section 90-265 of the City Code, which requires individual pin mounted channel lettering. No raceways are allowed. Ponding and Stormwater Management The applicant has submitted their Stormwater Management Plan for the proposed site and meets the appropriate storage, rate control, treatment, and volume reduction for the overall development. The project proposes to utilize an existing regional stormwater pond to meet ponding and stormwater requirements. The existing pond is located in the southeast corner of Elmcrest Avenue North and Rosemary Way and was designed to include the proposed Heartland Credit Union site. The pond was recently surveyed to ensure the capacity of the pond is still adequate. The proposed site fits within the original approved design for the overall Victor Gardens development and meets the City’s stormwater management requirements. There is no stormwater reuse on site as there is not a pond with capacity or within vicinity of the site to be reasonably feasible. Utilities/Grading Water service is available by connecting to the existing watermain on either the east side or the north side of the proposed building and the sanitary sewer service will be extended from the existing sanitary service stub on the east side of the proposed building. Staff is currently working with the applicant to finalize the grading, site, and utility plans, specifications, and details. The City will issue the drainage permit and construction plan approvals once the remaining issues identified in the redline comments have been addressed. Staff has listed this as a condition of approval. Streets and Access Access to the site is from Victor Hugo Boulevard. The applicant is proposing a one way drive aisle around the west side of the building and meets all drive aisle width requirements.
