SITE ACCESS and PARKING Vehicular access to the subject property will enter from Blue Spruce Drive running north/south along the western edge of the property. The proposed plan locates the drive central to the property with intent to distinguish this drive as separate from Red Cedar Circle and to provide a more central internal circulation path that allows for consideration of the future use of the southern portion of the lot. Parking is located north of the entrance between the building fagade and the street, intended primarily for office and customer parking and south of the entrance, along the drive, intended primarily for employee parking. 9 spaces 3000 sq ft office @ 3 spaces per 1000 sq ft 17 spaces Estimated 23 employees in industrial (cry 0.75 spaces per employ 26 spaces Total Maximum Allowed 22 spaces Provided Pedestrian access internal to the project is provided along the parking and drive edge leading to the building's primary western entrance and a southern employee entrance. Pedestrian access along the street is provided by a new sidewalk connecting to existing sidewalks both to the north and the south of the subject property. LANDSCAPING Landscape design focuses on large, deciduous trees to provide a defined streetscape as well as shade and screening of parking areas, while native, flowering shrubs provide a lower cover screen between parking and Blue Spruce Drive and the associated pedestrian way. There are no existing trees or shrubs on the site that require protection. PROJECT PHASING The project is anticipated to be constructed in two phases. Phase I would include all site improvements including utilities and storm water management facilities, all parking and construction of the first 9500 square feet of commercial construction. Phase I is anticipated to begin and be completed during 2010. Phase II would include 4875 square feet of an addition to the Phase 1 building at a future time not yet delineated. Ag„APS-fe'le Oto, Kaufman & Robinson Office Development 1324 & 1330 Blue Spruce Drive Lots 3 & 4, Block 5 Evergreen Park November 121h 2008 Revised November 23`d, 2009 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is designed to accommodate the growing needs of Kaufman & Robinson Inc., a technology -based design and manufacturing company. Located approximately one mile north of downtown in the Evergreen Park Subdivision, this project is an infill development utilizing existing infrastructure without the extension of public roads or utilities. ZONING and USE The site consists of two existing lots, proposed to be combined, in the I -Industrial zoning classification. Uses within development comply with the Land Use Code section 4.28(B)(2) with approximately 3,000 square feet of office space and 11,500 square feet of small to light industrial space. Combined employees occupying both the office and manufacturing space is anticipated between 12 and 30 people. BUILDING and UTILITIES The proposed building is a single -story structure not exceeding 22 feet in height. The proposed metal budding is similar in character to other developed properties along Blue Spruce Drive. The building will be served by utilities located along the western edge of the property or in the adjacent Right -of -Way without extension of any main utility lines. A 4-inch fire line will be run to the building to serve an NFPA-13 sprinkler system equipped throughout the structure. The project proposes on -site storm water detention with release off the property to the Evergreen West pond immediate east of the site. The wrap -around nature of the parking design allows parking and internal pedestrian access (see below) to remain close to the proposed building. This proximity will allow all parking lot lighting to be provided off of the building itself, without free-standing parking lot lighting.
