Use of pnmanly <br />coniferous trees in this area would allow for substantial winter screening. <br />The coffee shop drive-thru at the west end of the retail building still can be improved. Staff would <br />recommend the following; <br />Eliminate the inbound (southbound) lane at the west end of the site. Have the westerly <br />Kelley Parkway access point as ’out only'. Ingress from this location has little value to the <br />overall site circulation. <br />This will then leave approximately 12' of additional space in which the exit from the drive- <br />thru can be extended to a 90-degree angle, allowing dnve-thni traffic to exit nonh rather <br />than south. It may also be necessary to reduce the length of the building by 15'-18'to <br />accomplish this. However, staff is quite concerned about the current layout pointingdrive- <br />thru extters into an oncoming lane at a 45-degree angle. <br />The removal of the southbound lane also w ill allow for addiuonal green space and patio <br />space at the west end of the building overlooking the pond area <br />In general. sa\e for the abov-e comments, site access and aiculation has been refined to a point that <br />staffis generally satisfied with the current plans. Pedestnan access has also been revised to pro\ ide <br />for reasonable and safe access and aiculation throughout the site. Minor refinements may yet occur <br />with the suggested traffic circulauon changes. <br />Required Parking. The two current plans differ slightly in parking requirements; <br />- Plan 14 (retail on north site) requires a total of 172 stalls per Otuno code, and 146 arc <br />provided, a shortage of 26 stalls. <br />- Plan 15 (bank on north site) ai o lequires a total of 172 stalls, but only 140 are provided. <br />The plan reviewed by Planning Comnii»ston in January required 172 stalls and provided 167, a <br />shortage of only S stalls. City Traffic Consultant Sheldon Johnson will be asked to comment on <br />the need for the full complement of parking. <br />Lighting. Signage. PlanningCommissicn should revic v again the site signage plan (Sheets A5.1 <br />andS.N-1 oftheJanuary 16 memo) and dcicrmim; whether it needs further refinement. Also <br />review the building signage as depicted on the eh vauon views and in Sheet C2.2. It would be <br />staffs intent that a defined signage entena document be drafted to regulate ongoing signage on the <br />site.
