I i #OS-3081 Stonebay Lofts Jauuary 13,2005 � Page 7 i � Landscaping,Lighting, Signage i Landscape Plan.Pla�uung Commission should review the landscape plaii. Preliminary review by staff indicates an acceptable level ofplantings of trees aiid slu ubs. The City's landscaping consultant will be askedto comment. I�Z general,the 41,000 s.f.building footprintrequires 1 overstorytreeper 1,000 s.f. footprint,or 41 such trees. At least 30%of required overstory trees must be coniferous. Applicauts propose 5 ash, 10 map1e, 15 quaking aspen,and 4 weepuzg willow,plus 3 spnice and 12 ornamental h•ees (wluch coiult 2-1 toward the overstoryrequirement);doing the math,the total reaches 43,although the nux should include more coiufers. The 41,000 s.f.building would also require 137 shrubs as a n�rnun;this standard is more than met,with approximately 300 slu ubs shown on the plan. Li_ghting.The developer sliot�ld be asked to describe all outside lighting proposed for this buildi�lg other than the typical street lights, and provide a lightitig plan sheet for such lighting. Si�ge.'The developer should indicate auy identification signage intended for the building. Some site traffic signage is noted on Sheet C2.1. Impervious Surface Covera�e.I�npervious suiface coverage in the RPUD District is linuted to 50%. While Sheet C2.1 indicates the Lofts site llas 52.4%iinpervious area,the Stonebayproj ect in its entiretyhas an impervious area well below the 50% limit, so this is not an issue in staff's opiiuon. Engineer's Comments Please review the City Eiigineer's comments, Exhibit D. Final Plat Outlot E was created specifically for the Lofts,and must be final platted as a Lot in order for it to be used as a building site. The final platting process establishes the necessaiy perimeter drainage and utility easements which were not required of it as an outlot.The required wetland Conservation and Flowage Easement was established duruzg the earlier subdivision approvals,so that need not be required;however, the wetlands should be shown on the iiew plat drawings. No plat drawings have been submitted by the applicaut at this tirne. This approval process is fiuictionally approval ofPhase 2 ofthe StoneUayresidential development. Phase 2 final plat approval will inchide paynient of park fees,sewer and water connection fees, and stornzwater &drainage trunlc fees established within Exhibit M of the PUD 4 Ag7-eement.
