Home My WebLink AboutFOUNTAINHEAD PUD PHASE II - Filed GC-GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE - 2003-11-04THE FOUNTAINHEAD P.U.D. STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES The Fountainhead P.U.D. is one of the major development parcels within Superblock #3 of the South College Properties Master Plan area. It is located south of the future Boardwalk Drive between College Avenue and the future J.F.K. Parkway. This submission includes a final plan of Phases I and II (Phase I is a replat of Osprey Office P.U.D.) and a preliminary plan for the remainder of the pronerty. The Fountainhead P.U.D. is consistent with criteria and guidelines set out by the Superblock #3 plan. Major access and internal circulation criteria generally conform to the Superblock #3 objectives in location and function. Proposed uses in Phase I and future phases of the project are in conformance with the existing hb zoning. The project is planned to receive major access from a signalized inter- section at College Avenue and Boardwalk Drive. Additional access points, include right turn only movements at College Avenue, one full turning movement at Boardwalk Drive and two access points off J.F.K. Parkway. Interior, private circulation lanes are planned to provide good addit- ional access through the development. One runs east -west from J.F.K. Parkway to College Avenue. The second runs generally north -south through the property and is planned to continue south to the adjacent property. These circulation lanes create a peninsula of restaurant and retail shops the surroundings of which are carefully landscaped and feature a fountain and flags as a focal point. The overall project is planned as a mixed -use development integrating office, retail and restaurants. Care has been taken to locate the variety of uses in a way to encourage pedestrian interconnection. Osprey, Inc plans to develop the first phase of Superblock #3 as an office park. The office buildings will have approximately 60,000 sq.ft. of space and will be developed in two phases. The office buildings are in a multi -story configuration and designed to form entry plazas as well as garden courts. -2- In accordance with the City's policy, the approach to the design of the building is to optimize energy conservation. ZVFK has established the following design measures for energy conservation: 1. Building orientation and glass orientation to minimize solar loads on the cooling system. 2. Reflective glass with shading co -efficient of .33 or better to futher reduce solar loads 3. Energy efficient lighting package saves energy in lighting and also significantly reduces loads on cooling. 4. Energy efficient H.V.A.C. system makes effective use of outside air for cooling whenever possible. Electronic controls will be utilized for maximum efficiency. Phase I & II of The Fountainhead P.U.D. represent the initial development proposal of this Superblock and one of the initial building phases of the "South College Properties" Master Plan. It is functionally a part of this mixed use planning area and is coordinated to optimize and integrate pedestrian, vehicular, access and joint parking considerations. It is intended to establish a high level, quality image appropriate to Super - block #3 as well as the entire "South College Properties" district. Construction of Phase I is anticipated to begin during 1982. Development of the remainder of the project is anticipated to be completed during the next three to four years. The buildings proposed for Osprey, Inc. are three and four-story con- figurations and less than 55 feet. The buildings will be in a stepped design with portions of the buildings being two-story. This design will minimize the effect of the building on desirable views from adjacent areas. The stepped design of these buildings help to integrate the superblock with some of the lower scale buildings along South College Avenue. These buildings will establish the pattern for future development in Superblock #3 in reference to scale and detail. - 3- Currently, discussions are on -going related to the establishment of a special improvement district for many of the improvements in this area. VARTONrW A variance is requested to permit access to parking spaces less than 50 feet from the flowline of Boardwalk Drive and J.F.K. Parkway. Generous landscaping areas have been provided and will significantly offset any visual concerns. HEIGHT ANALYSIS PRELIMINARY FOUNTAINHEAD P.U.D. The office buildings in the northwest and southeast corners of the site plan exceed the 40 ft. height district. The office building in the northeast corner of the site, the reataurants and retail buildings are less than 40 ft. The two office buildings are three and four story configura- tions which are less than 55 ft. The buildings will be a stepped design with portions of the building being two-story. This design will minimize the effect of the building on desirable views from adjacent areas. The stepped design of these buildings intergrate them with the lower scale buildings of the proposal and surrounding development. The office building in the southeast corner of the site has no develop- ment surrounding it to the north, east and south. The residential development directly west will be removed with development. There is an existing residence to the southwest, however, the proposed building does not alter the view of an amenity. Slides of a rendering and the model of the proposed office building are available. The office buildings are proposed to be similar in design.

We have initiated the "permit for access" process as noted by your letter The permit application apparently must include design data for both the curb cut and the deceleration lane. We have requested Parson & Associates to provide the design submission required on the application. The design/ application/review process will certainly extend past February 28.
