Phoenix Enterprises CU 95-01 Page 3 <br /> February 28, 1995 <br /> • <br /> be necessary for extensive landscaping by the commercial development to <br /> landscape this area. Landscaping may be concentrated in other areas. <br /> Located on Lot 2, Block 1, Hillside Crossing South, is approximately twenty <br /> (20) existing mature evergreen trees. These trees should be protected and be <br /> used as a credit in the calculating for landscaping requirements. No <br /> additional plantings are being proposed along Highway 169. <br /> After discussing the submitted landscape plan, which does not indicate <br /> additional trees or plantings being placed in the area along Highway 169, the <br /> applicant addressed concern of visibility with the development. It is the <br /> desire of the applicant to have this area remain open for improved visibility <br /> of the site from Highway 169. Staff is of the opinion that the applicant <br /> should provide landscaping similar to Elk Park Center or Hillside Crossing to <br /> help improve the image of the Highway 169 corridor. <br /> Parking Area <br /> The parking area should be constructed with a bituminous surface and <br /> bounded with B612 concrete curb and gutter. Curb-islands should be used to <br /> better indicated the intended traffic pattern for the parking lot area. <br /> • Common Drive Area <br /> This common drive area between Lot 1, Block 1, Oak Parc Plaza and Lot 2, <br /> Block 1, Hillside Crossing South, as well as the common drive area between <br /> Lot 2 and Lot 3 should provide a traffic pattern that works with both sites. <br /> There is particular concern between Lot 1 and Lot 2. Lot 1 is the existing <br /> Super America site and already contains an existing traffic pattern. The <br /> addition of a new access/exit into and from this site may effect the current <br /> traffic pattern. The applicant should contact the property owner of this site <br /> and receive a letter indicating their approval of this type of development. <br /> This common drive area should be constructed with a bituminous surface and <br /> bounded with B612 concrete curb and gutter. <br /> Signage <br /> The commercial development is being proposed with a pylon type sign located <br /> along Highway 169. Other signs have not been indicated on the submitted <br /> site plans. The proposed pylon sign is located within the ten (10) foot setback <br /> that is required. The applicant addressed this by indicating that there needs <br /> • to be a setback distance from the dripline of the overhead power lines. <br /> Because of this distance, this is the furthest distance from the right-of-way <br /> s:/planning/troy/pc-cup 01 <br />
