changes which elevate the adjoining ground level above the existing terrain shall not be considered in determining building height. For a pitched or hipped roof situation, regardless whether the highest living space in a building is a half -story or full story, if the highest living space contains windows (excluding skylights) the upper measuring point for defining building height shall be the median height of the top of the highest window and the highest peak of the roof. It might be helpful to identify the actual defined height of the building. To do this, the building will need to be sited and the height calculated based on existing topography. A grading plan will need to be combined with the building elevations provided. Assuming the highest adjacent grade is one foot below the first floor elevation, the defined height of the building appears to be 49.8 feet tall. Flexibility would be required. To illustrate the impact of your height proposal, perhaps a perspective drawing, or picture, superimposing the building into the street scape, both north and south bound Shadywood, and from the residential area to the east, would be helpful to the public and City officials. (7b) expressly prohibits flat roofed buildings, flexibility will be required. (11) requires 10% of the gross project area to be set aside as private recreational use. These can include trails, nature areas, picnic areas, etc. This area should be identified. (14) Landscape plan must be submitted to correspond with paragraph 14. (14 g) screening of the parking lot adjacent to Shadywood is required. I recommend continuing the pattern established by the existing Freshwater business center. Trash receptacles, if not located in the underground parking area, will need to be screened or in a building. (15) Specifics on the building must be provided as part of the rezoning application, including Elevations, floor plans and dimensions, location of trash, recycling, and HVAC units. The HVAC units may not be visible from the road. (17) The city engineer is reviewing the traffic information provided; future comments, if any, will be forwarded. (18) Approval of the final development plan will need to include utility, grading, and drainage plans, detailed building elevations and floor plans, landscaping, sign, and lighting plans. A permit may not be issued until this plan is approved. II. The following comments are based on a review of the project: a. Section 78-1707 A4 outlines a maximum hardcover of 50%. Please provide hardcover calculations. b. Stormwater calculations should be provided to ensure that ponding size is adequate. c. Please confirm the number of units. Exhibit C: Context map suggests 49 units, the narrative and other materials suggest 40 units. d. Exhibits D, E, and F suggest an apartment building. It is advisable to review the application for consistency in terms. e. Has a wetland delineation been completed and approved? If so, documentation must be provided and
