Mr. Oallron <br />Pag* 2___ <br />Ra SlonoGay Martietp<aca <br />26. 2CC4 <br />Development & Oriontation — <br />We have re-oriented the three buildlr>gs arnJ turned Walgreen ’s so that from the <br />entrance off of Kelley ParVway, customers will have Immediate access to the front <br />doors of Walgreen's ar>d one of the retail buildings. This alignment also brirvgs traffic <br />directly to the front doors from the right in/ right out on Willow. This site circulation \wiU <br />eliminate any confusion for the customer. <br />We have split up the two retail buildings and put the drive thru between them to allow <br />the west retail building Immediate adjacency to the pond. We believe this alignment <br />works well since a customer of the end cap will be able to sit Inside or outside and view <br />the pond. Also, this doesn't block the view of the pond from the Willow/Highway 12 <br />intersection. <br />If this site plan is acceptable, we will proceed with building plans that address your <br />concerns with backside of buildings. <br />Parking Layout & Capacity - <br />We have incorporated additional green space In the parking lot from our previous plan. <br />These green islands will have trees and tow plantings, which will enhance the aesthetic <br />value of the development. <br />If we consider Walgreen s requiring 60 stalls based on their studios, then the remainder <br />cf the site is parked at 1 stall per 149 square feet. With the 12 proof of parking stalls, <br />we would have 77 stalls for Walgreen's and 1 stall per 150 square feet for the retail <br />building. It seems better to have the green space today and If needed in the future, put <br />in the additional parking stalls. We feel that the 145 stalls for this development is more <br />than sufficient. <br />Green Space - <br />We have provided 25% green space with this new layout. This is pervious surface only, <br />and does not include the trails. <br />Structural Coverage - <br />We have reduced the square footage of buildings on the site, from 29,620 to 28,880. <br />We currently have 16.5% building coverage for the retail and 19.7% building coverage <br />for the pharmacy. We believe that since we have provided adequate green space and <br />parking capacity that the building coverage should be allowed to exceed 15%. <br />650 BUTLER NOfTTHBUnOlNO S10 FIRST AVENUE NORTH NMNCAPOUS.
