HomeMy WebLinkAboutNOVOVESKY GARDEN CENTER PUD - PRELIMINARY - 13-95A - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - PLANNING OBJECTIVESTimberline Road. The small size of this facility will not likely attract many customers who
live nearer to other existing nurseries.
The Novovesky's would own and operate the proposed nursery, concentrating on serving the
surrounding neighborhood. The retail facility proposes a 3,300 square foot steel frame
greenhouse constructed with the same steel frame material as the Palmer Flowers greenhouse
on College Avenue. The greenhouse will by connected to the garden center building,
approximately 5,000 square feet. This building will be between the greenhouse and
Timberline Road. It will also be steel frame construction. The facade facing the street will
be predominately brick and glass. The ends will be painted metal typical of higher quality
facilities of this type. The roof is metal and with a cupola to add interest from the street.
The primary parking and public circulation area is proposed to be paved with asphalt. There
is also an emergency fire road through the residential portion of the site that is an all weather
gravel surface. Due to its limited use pavement is unwarranted and would only increase
storm run off.

RE: Novovesky Garden Shop
Planning Objectives
Dear Board Members:
Landscape Statement: Perennial Display Area
The primary objective of the landscape theme is to blend with the existing residential
landscaping by utilizing all of the desirable existing trees and shrubs. None of the trees
identified by the city forester as desirable will be destroyed. They will either be relocated on
the site or remain in their present location.
In the retail area new and existing plantings will be utilized to frame the proposed new
buildings and perennial display garden. A combination of berms and a low timber retaining
wall will be utilized to define and screen the parking area adjacent to Timberline Road. This
area will also provide a colorful slope facing Timberline Road which will be planted with a
variety of perennials. A container display area is planned in the parking area behind the
berms. The low wall and berms will screen the view of the containers from Timberline
Road.
Planning Objectives
The property consists of 3.0 acres within Collindale Business Park with existing access off of
Timberline Road. Re -zoning to allow multi -use (residential/retail).
Original zone: RE
New Zone: IP with a P.U.D. condition
The intent is for the Novovesky's to continue to live in the existing residence located on the
site. The house was constructed in 1969 (+/-) and is valued at $143,000.00 (+/-), it is
wood frame construction with brick and wood siding. This use is consistent with the intent
of the existing Collindale Business Park while providing the opportunity for an owner -
operator condition. This is particularly appropriate since it will allow for the preservation of
existing landscaping and a desirable residential structure.
The proposed use is a small retail nursery outlet primarily selling bedding plants as well as
some tree and shrub sales. It is anticipated that the primary service area will be limited to
the adjacent neighborhoods as well as some spontaneous shopping generated by traffic on ___
