Kcllcv Parkway Lighting. The City has yet to reach a conclusion on the style of street lighting to be provided along Kelley. The developer is responsible for this lighting under the terms of the Concept PUn Approval. Building Limited to Ofilcc Use. The Concept Plan Approval indicated that a formal amendment of the PUD would be needed if more than 5% of the gross floor area is proposed for retail use. Applicants have suggested that 5% may be too limiting. Staff would suggest the 5% limit remain in effect unless applicants can present a strong case for a higher limit. Other Engineerine Issues. Tom Kellogg has made a number of comments regarding sewer and water connections, storm sewer and grading, and trails/streets/parking, each of which would appear to require additional action on behalf of the developer but which for the most part will not affect the site layout or building design. The primary issue to be dealt with immediately is where the stormwater ends up, and in the future, where the trail along 12 will be placed. Landscanine Plan. The Landscaping Plan is shown on Sheet L2.1 and includes a wide variety of shrubs to enhance the building and the entry island. It also provides a nice screen to the trash enc losure. The trash enclosure opens to the east; should it be further screened to limit direct view by westbound Highway 12 traffic? The sign islands are highly landscaped and the southwest facing point of the building apperas to have a significant evergreen (black hills spruce) buffer to the trail, presumably to provide some patient privacy for that treatment area. If the Highway 12 trail ends up within the site, we might expect similar treatment along the southerly w'indows... The trees proposed along the OCB Road trail are proposed in a fairly wet environment; applicants ’ landscape designer should confirm they will thrive in the wet conditions. Along Kelley Parkway are proposed two sugar maples (either side of the west entrance) and three Skyline Honey locust. Since the City has not decided on a streetscape for Kelley Parkway, staff would propose that final City acceptance of these species and their spacing be left for future reconsideration. Developer should confirm that the landscaping plan meets the minimum 525,000 valuation required by the zoning code for this SI.5 million project. Tom Kellogg has revised his Letter of credit improvement valuation listing to how the landscaping at the $25,000 valuation level.
