property to align with Red Cedar Circle. The proposed plan locates the drive more 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 facade and the street, intended
primarily for office and customer parking and south of the entrance, along the drive,
intended primarily for employee parking. The maximum allowable parking space calculation
is based on the table located in section 3.2.2(K)(2) of the Land Use Code as applied to Phase
I of the project.
General Office: 3000 sq ft @ 3/1000 sq ft = 9 spaces
Small Industry: 6500 sq ft @ 2/1000 sq ft = 13 spaces
22 maximum spaces
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.
MODIFICATION of STANDARDS
Per section 4.28(E)(3)(a.3) of the Land Use Code, an 80-foot buffer is required between this
Industrial zoned property and the adjacent Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood to the
east. This project provides for an 80-foot strip of property free of buildings and parking, but
seeks a modification of this standard to provide additional landscape screening.
Section 2.8.2(H)(1) of the Land Use Code allows for such a modification of the standard
when the submitted application promotes the purposes of the code and equally meets the
provisions of the modified standard. The existing Evergreen West pond and surrounding
vegetation create a visual screen that exceeds the requirements of the 80-foot buffer.
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 2009. Phase II would include 4875 square feet of an
addition to the Phase I building at a future time not yet delineated.

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 building 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.
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. During the Conceptual Review,
Engineering had suggested the access drive be placed on the southwest corner of the
