HomeMy WebLinkAbout217 W. TRILBY RD. - PDP - PDP120006 - CORRESPONDENCE - (7)3.5.3(B)(2) Build -to lines shall be provided and buildings shall be located no more
than 25 feet behind the street right-of-way. There are alternative ways to meet
the standard (such as providing an outdoor space and connecting walkways) as
defined in the Code.
3.5.3(D)(3) The primary entrances need to be clearly defined and recessed or
framed by a sheltering element such as an awning, arcade or portico.
4.5(E)(2) Roof form — The buildings as proposed do not comply with the
minimum roof pitch of 6:12 and the requirement for three roof planes.
217 West Trilby Road
DRAFT Advance Planning Review
The project as proposed does not appear to meet a number of Land Use Code
standards, including the following:
3.2.1(E)(1) Since the property to the west is residential, buffering needs to be
provided on the west side of this property. The 5' rail fence and narrow
landscape area appears to be insufficient to meet the buffering standards. The
best way to meet this standard would be to provide a dense stand of trees and
shrubs along the western property line.
3.2.1(E)(4) & (5) The parking lot areas, particularly the lot sited along the south
side of the property, do not appear to meet the parking lot perimeter and interior
landscaping requirements. In particular, parking areas need to be screened with
a fence or wall and plant material in the quantities described in the Code.
Access circulator and multi -use path: The South College Avenue Access Control
Plan (Figure 5-4 and Page 58, last bullet) and the South College Corridor Plan
(Figure 29 and Policies T2.1 and T 3.4) show and describe an access circulator
street on the east side of the property with a future hard surface multi -use path
connecting to the Shenandoah subdivision to the south. The access circulator is
needed for access to Trilby Road for properties to the south as an alternative to
access drives along College Avenue. Please work with Engineering and
Transportation Planning to determine how the street connection and path can be
provided as part of your project. Development of the street and the multi -use
path would ensure compliance with 3.6.3 Street Pattern and Connectivity
Standards and 3.2.2(C)(6) Direct On -Site Access to Pedestrian and Bicycle
Destinations.
3.2.2(D)(1) Pedestrian Vehicle Separation - No separation is provided between
pedestrians and vehicles. The site plan should show either a sidewalk from
Trilby Road to each building or other clearly delineated pedestrian areas.
3.5.1 (B) Since the architectural character is not well-defined in this area, the
project needs to set an enhanced standard of quality for future projects. The
project does not appear to meet this standard because the buildings have limited
architectural detailing.
3.5.1(H) The project needs to provide for a land use transition with the residential
property to the west.
3.5.3 (13)(1) The project does not comply with this standard. The buildings shall
face and open directly onto a connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage.

Hi Steve,
Since I'm out next week I wanted to share my initial comments on 217 W Trilby Road with you early.
It appears there are quite a few areas that don't meet the standards. Just wanted to get on the same
page with you before I enter in the comments (I'll enter them in the week of March 19 when I get back).
