Dear: Troy,
We have reviewed the Staff comments from the PDP Review and have summarized our changes
below.
Current Planning
➢ The light locations have been shown on the site plan.
➢ There are no storage units that face Manhattan Ave.
➢ We have shown more detail for the interior and perimeter buildings.
➢ The mixed use building elevations and foot print match.
➢ Above and below the windows we are proposing an EFIS band of a darker color than the field
to help define the windows.
➢ We now have more than 30% of buildings 3 & 10 within the Build to line. See site plan.
➢ We have altered the massing of the buildings so they meet the 3:1 width to height ratio. Refer
to the site and elevations for further detail.
i We are proposing darker bands at the corners of each step of the buildings along the
perimeter. Also centered in most of the facades is another band to bring more human scale to the
wall. The wall will have a brick lower portion and EFIS upper. The EFIS field will be light beige
with the banding being a darker beige.
We have reduced the number of Rocky Mountain Juniper. However due to design
consistency on the north side of buildings 1 & 2, we are showing 10 Rocky Mountain Juniper.
We have broken down the square footage of office and residential on the site plan.
We have incorporated into the design several outdoor gathering spaces that are well
connected to the street pedestrian system as well as the internal pedestrian system. We have
made interior connections to the Carmike site.
Engineering
Please refer to Stewart Engineering's plans.
Transportation Services
➢ Drives are connecting at 90degrees.
➢ All necessary ADA ramps are being shown.
➢ A crosswalk is being proposed at the entry drive along the private drive.
➢ Bike parking is provided.
