The Site Plan shows a note which states "Edge of Phase 2 asphalt/landscape mulch bed typ." However, the Landscape plan has a note which designates the limit of landscaping as the edge of Phase 1. All landscaping for Phases 1 and 2 should be shown on the Landscape Plan and notes coordinated. Please indicate the total square footage of each of the proposed buildings within the footprint of each building. Please provide typical dimensions for the standard and handicap parking spaces. Z�19 Staff suggests that sidewalks along the north property line of lot 5 and south property line of lot 6 be added to allow pedestrian connections from the proposed buildings to 1jjr the public sidewalk along Blue Spruce Drive. This may require four parking spaces to be deleted. Office facilities require safe and handicap accessible routes to the building entrances It appears that each of the "bays" are designed to be an office/warehouse. Access to the building entrances is gained via automobile travel lanes and/or through travel/parking areas for vehicles accessing the proposed overhead doors to the buildings. Staff suggests that the buildings be shifted towards the center of the site to allow for pedestrian access to entrances on the north side of the warehouse/office building on Lot 5 and to the south side of the warehouseloffice building on Lot 6. If pedestrian entrances are provided as described in comment & staff suggests that the windows and glass doors be moved to the north side of the warehouse/office building on Lot 5 and to the north side of the warehouse/office building on Lot 6. apt/ Please indicate the color(s) of the proposed buildings on the elevations.
