HomeMy WebLinkAboutRIGDEN FARM, PARKSIDE WEST - PDP - 56-98G - CORRESPONDENCE -r. In the areas where the parking spaces are adjacent to sidewalks, the width
of the sidewalksmust be increased to 6 feet [3.2.2(L)(4)].
s. There should be a 24" x 36" sheet depicting the site in context with its
'If 01 surroundings, This should show both Parkside P.D.P.s and the surrounding
%10 streets and prcels. Label this drawing "context diagram."
t. There needs to be a chart on the landscape plan that gives the total
numberof each species of tree proposed. The total number specified must
comply with the standards as specified in 3.2.1(D)(3).
u. Combine the two plats provided for this P.D.P. into one plat. Ensure that the
plat does not use the "5ecretary of the Planning and Zoning Board"
signature block, but rather uses the "Director of Planning" signature block.
Be sure and return all your redlined plans when you resubmit.
If you have any questions about these or any other issues related to this project
please feel free to call be at 221-6750.

• Minimum light levels shall be obtained in various areas in
accordance with the chart in 3.2.4(C).
i. Specify on the site plan in a general note that not all buildings will be painted
the same color. Provide color samples of at least two different color
schemes for the buildings. Take from shades already established in the
neighborhood (the historic farm house) as required in 3.5.1(G).
j. Show dimensions on elevations. Label all building materials on elevations.
Specify a pallet of colors on the elevations. Show elevations of the
multifamily garages.
k. The multifamily garages must comply with 3.5.2(F)(2) of the LUC. Until we
see elevations of the garages, we cannot determine if the proposed garages
comply.
I. Change the name of Lois Lane to Rockford Drive.
m. Along Drake and Limon there will be public sidewalks and on -site
sidewalksrunning parallel to one another. This seems like an inefficient use
of space. Why not reduce the size of the setback so the street sidewalk will
serve the purpose intended by the on -site parallel sidewalk.
n. There will be no parallel parking allowed on Drake. The placement of building
"I" may encourage tenants to try to parallel park along Drake. Staff
recommends you consider moving building "I" to just south of building "K."
The parking configuration could shift up to the former location of building
I.
o. Street trees shall be placed at30 to 40 foot spacing intervals [3.2.1(D)(2)].
As shown you are not showing any street trees along Drake, the spacing is at
50 foot intervals along Limon, and there are several 60 foot gaps along
Rigden Parkway and Rockford Drive.
p. These two Parkside P.D.P.s may trigger Drake Road improvements. Schedule
the issue with the Engineering Deportment to be discussed at the weekly
Transportation Coordination meeting to determine if Drake improvements
are needed with this development.
q. The existing conditions page shows the proposed layout of the two P.D.P.s.
Take off proposed conditions.
c. Section 3.2.2(D) requires the layout of the parking lot to be safe, efficient,
convenient and attractive. As proposed staff does not believe the parking lot
configuration is efficient and convenient unless the emergency access points
are opened up for vehicular traffic movement.
d. Section 3.6.2(L)(2)(e) of the LUC requires that intersections of private
drives and public streets be made by using the "New Driveway Approach"
design from the Engineering Department's standards. The LaGrange project
across the street was granted a modification to this standard. Keep in mind
that if you seek and are granted a modification on this issue, you still have
to follow Section 3.6.2(L)(2)(f) which requires that no stormwater can be
channelized across a sidewalk.
e. Section 3.2.1(E)(5) of the LUC requires that at least 6% of vehicular area of
your parking lot consist of landscaped areas. Please calculate the area
outlined in pink on the redlined site plan, then calculate the area of
landscaped areas within that pink outline. Provide a diagram of the area from
which you calculate the vehicular area and what areas you are considering to
be landscaped within that area. Make sure the diagram reads clearly. The
diagram can be a small detail on the site plan, or on a separate 8 ? x 11
sheet, but the vehicular area, and landscaped area within that vehicular
area, should be depicted in the chart of data on the site plan.
f. Section 3.2.1(E)(6) states that landscape screening is required on all sides of
* trash enclosures except the side where the opening for access is located.
Please add this required landscaping to the areas around the trash
enclosures.
g. Show curb, gutter and sidewalks of surrounding streets (even if they are
existing) on both the site plans and landscape plans with standard line
thickness. As submitted they are way too light where shown.
h. A lighting plan is required showing all exterior lighting on the site including
any proposed pole mounted lights and wall mounted lights. Section 3.2.4 of
the LUC requires:
• Light sources shall be concealed and fully shielded and shall
feature sharp cut-off capability so as to minimize up -light, spill -
light, glare and unnecessary diffusion on adjacent property,
• Maximum lighting levels shall not exceed 10 foot candles,
• Light sources shall minimize contrast (high pressure sodium or
incandescent are preferred),

Staff has reviewed your submittal for Parkside West at Rigden Farm, and we
offer the following comments:
COMMENTS:

departments and agencies.
2. Current Planning:
a. Section 2.2.11 of the Land Use Code requires that an applicant submit
revisions based on this letter within 90 days or the project application
becomes null and void. Your response to the City's concerns is due by
January 7, 2001. A 30 day extension to this deadline is available. All
requests for an extension should be directed to the Current Planning
Director. If remaining issues are those that do not require plan revisions, a

required within the same timeline.
b. Full Tree Stocking is required in all landscaped areas within 50 feet of any
building. Full Tree Stocking is formal and informal groupings of trees spaced
at 30 to 40 foot spacing intervals. See section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c) of the LUC. See
the redlined landscape plan from the Current Planning Department for
locations of where the P.D.P is not satisfying this requirement.
