Memo to Mayor & City Coundl/CU 04-05 April 19, 2004 Page 3 The entrance into the underground parking garage is located at the north end of the building. Vehicles leaving the garage will exit from the south end of the building. Access for both the entrance and exit is from the private street. With 65 underground spaces and 32 spaces in front of the building, there is a total of 97 parking spaces provided. The parking ratio is 1.5 spaces per unit. For comparison, the parking requirements for senior citizen housing is 1 space per unit plus 1 space for each employee; parking for residences in the downtown district is 1.25 spaces per unit, and parking for general multi-family is 2.5 space per unit. If parking is an issue, the private street could be widened by 3 feet so that it is 28 feet wide and additional spaces could be provided on the one side of the private street. Per direction of the Fire Chief, adjacent streets will be signed "no parking". No access to the commercial property to the west is proposed from the private drive. It is the desire of the applicant to keep the traffic associated with Pullman Place separate from the traffic generated by the commercial lot. This is consistent with the approved concept plan. However, the proposed daycare has access from this private street in the concept plan but not on the plan being proposed by the applicant. The day care center will have access from the commercial/office development located east of Twin Lakes Road. Grading, Drainage and Utilities Grading, drainage and utility issues are addressed in the City Engineer's memo. Landscaping The landscape plan includes a variety of shrubs and ornamental trees around the base of the building and the landscaped parking islands. A mix of 17 evergreen trees, 6 birch and 4 willows are proposed around the stormwater ponds. Five maple trees and 9 birch trees are proposed along the private street. Street trees should be provided along 171st and 172nd Avenues. With the addition of street trees, the landscape plan will be acceptable. Building Elevations Exterior materials will be a mix of cultured stoned, vertical vinyl beadboard siding, shingle vinyl siding and horizontal vinyl lap siding. The west, north and southeast elevations will consist primarily of vinyl shingle siding with vertical beadboard vinyl siding in a band along the top and in the peaks. The north and west elevations are the end of the building that include the entrance and exit to the underground parking; the southeast elevation is the side that includes the outdoor patio area. The east and west elevations will be primarily the horizontal vinyl siding with the vinyl shingle siding around the decks and vertical vinyl siding in the peaks. The entry elevation includes the addition of cultured stone. The area of the exposed foundation will be rockface concrete block. The exterior includes a good mix of finishes; the peaks break up the roofline, and the decks and breaks in the flat building surfaces provide relief to the building elevations. The applicant will provide colored material samples for the Council to review. S:~PLANNING\Case Files\2004\CU 04-05 Pullman Hace\CU04-05CCA-19.doc
