RECEIVED Ecology Project JAN 2 0 2016 1/20/2015 Response to City comments Parking Concerns: I have updated the concept set to increase the underground parking to include 84 stalls on Level 1,93 on the level 2 (car wash to be removed), 10 spaces on the street, 22 spaces of surface parking for a total of 209 spaces. We also have the option of adding an additional 20 spaces above the surface parking if needed but want to use it as additional capacity if needed. I am requesting the plans move forward with the parking as is with a recommendation that the planning commission support a variance to the required amount of spaces. Property Lines: I have revised the site plan so bring the project within the property lines with the exception of the north end section by the surface parking. Upon completion of the work session I will begin discussions with the property owners to acquire that portion of land. Landscaping plans: Attached is a preliminary rough draft on the landscaping plans,we will be consulting with a number of firms after approval of the project to implement the permeable hard surface cover,the native prairie plantings,and the remainder of the grass and plantings. I am requesting the project be approved on the contingency that the final landscaping plan will be approved during the PUD Parking areas: The site plan has been updated to reflect the requirement for B612 Curb and gutter. Engineering: The Yale Ct extension project is part of the FAST plan for the redevelopment of the area. Ecology is not dependent on having the extension in place nor is the extension of Yale ct dependent on the Ecology project. As the projects are two separate independent projects it is assumed the city would install the Yale Ct extension at the time it decides to implement that portion of the FAST plan and assess the improvements on the appropriate landowners at the time of the extension. Ecology is designed to allow for 170th ave to connect to the yale st alignment,the current site plan for ecology does not infringe on any of the existing work proposed by the city under the FAST plan. Grades to the underground parking do not currently start until after the road right of way,the updated site plan shows the fire access road coming from the same access point as the underground parking. The site plan has been updated to bring the street parking on yale street to within the right of way. Discussions with the property owners to the north will begin once the planning commission work session is complete.
