THIRD FILING 1 . LANDSCAPING The objective in our landscape design is to provide seasonal variety with year around color for viewing pleasure. These various plant materials as keyed on the plan make this objective possible. A . GREEN ASH (Fraxinus Pennsylvanica) seedless variety, height--35, spread--20, growth--medium, form--rounded, fall color--bright yellow, 2" calipher. B. HONEY LOCUST (Gleditsia Trizicanthos) Thornless, height--40 ' , spread--25 ' , growth--medium, form--open headed, drought resistant, tolerant of city atmosphere, summer color--green 2" calipher. C. PINYON PINE (Pinus Edulis) height--20 ' , spread--15 ' , growth-- medium, form--broadly conical (bushy) , 6 ' planting height, ever • green. • D. CHERRY, CANADA RED (Pinus Edulis) Height--20 ' , spread--15' , Growth--Medium, Maroon—Red Foliage . New growth turning red as as leaves mature . Extremely hardy, 2" calipher. E. CRAB (Radiant) Flowering Height 12 ' to 18-, hardy, compact, symmetrical tree with red tint in the spring, turning green as season progresses, 2" calipher. F. HOPA CRAB (Mal.us Hopa) Height--22 ' , spread--12 ' , growth medium, form—open headed, rosy pink blossoms, very hardy. G . DOGWOOD, REDTWIG, COLORDO RED—OSIER (Cornus Stoloni— f era Coloradensis) Height--6`-8' , dark green foliage with red stems, outstanding winter landscape, tolerates shades. H. EVER GREEN BLUE CHIP (Juniperus Horizontalis) height 1-to 2-, silver—blue color on fine foliage, low mounding, spreading habit, superior ground cover, 5 gal . J . EVER GREEN SEA GREEN (Juniperus Chinensis) height--4'to 6' , lush green foliage and arching branches, 5 ' gal . page 1 110 (Landscape continued) We vary from the original preliminary plan in that we have re— moved 4' of landscape from the south property line. To ' @®mpeng4ty for this loss of approximately 780 square feet of land—scaped area we have added approximately 2875 square feet to the front of the property which is more visible to the Public since College carries a much larger amount viewing traffic. This also improves the overall College streetscape . We have also added three predominate areas of landscape to the parking along the south one way access. 7 We also lost the flexibility of using excessive foundational plantings because of the type of use and the relocation of the building. With the proposed uses, we need traffic movement and access on four sides of the building with parking in the front . We feel that the large increase to the College streetscape and the areas in and around our center help to compensate for this • loss. 2 . LAND USE With this application, we are proposing the use of three tenants, TCBY Yogurt, Little Caesars and Big 0 Tire Company. As compared to the preliminary P.U.D. which proposed a sit down type restur— ant, we feel that our uses will inhance the overall P.U.D. The sit down resturant was an entity unto itself, our proposal is an accesory use to the total P.U.D. In the case of Big 0 Tire, the general public will have the advantage of selecting one of the neighboring food services for a quick and convenient lunch or dinner while awaiting the completion of motor vehicle service work. Big 0 Tire majors in quick turn around business therefore making the two food services we are proposing a real plus since they are also quick service oriented. 2 . 3. ACCESS TO PUBLIC STREETS AND INTERNAL CIRCULATION The project we propose will utilize the approved access streets and drives as per the preliminary P.U.D. The traffic flow will be ao follower We expect the majority of the traffic to enter at College Avenue . If the individual is a TCBY customer, we have provided parking and a one way drive through with enough room for five cars stacked at the drive through window. After going through the drive up, or parking in front for Yogurt or Pizza, the customer would then travel around on the north side of Big 0 Tire . If a customer is going to Big 0 Tire only, then the exit is obviously to the rear of the property. Our drives and parking areas are also completly accessable from the rear of the property. 4. ARCHITECHTURAL DESIGN MATERIALS The objective in our architectural design is to make our project compatable with the existing Gateway at Harmony Road PUD require— ments . All walls will be masonry material to match the color of the Mc— Donalds store . The gray and sandstone colors will be treated similar to McDonalds . All storefront mullions will be sized to match the McDonalds store. The intention of our architectural elevations is to blend with the surrounding facilities and yet have a limited amount of in— dividual own identity. 5 . PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION Our site design allows for pedestrians to access the neighboring • uses via a concrete walk way near the southwest corner of the property and a concrete walk near the 30 ' access to the property situated to the north. 3. III 411 @. §I NAU Our signage is planned to be compatable with the existing P%U.D. We are proposing the use of a monument sign at the entry point on College Avenue . This sign is 39 square feet . This sign will be compatable with McDonald' s monument sign. As per our sign elevational design we are using lettering which is simple block style type with no corporate logo identity. We are also proposing to use directional signs within the property that will • be the same letter style and size as used by McDonalds with out the McDonalds "M" logo. For the purposes of TCBY's drive up window, we have located a menu board sign near the trash dumpsters . The objective here is to remove the menu board from the site of College traffic . All signs for tenants will be of the individual letter illuminated type . • • 7. TRASH DUMPSTERS AND TIRE ENCLOSURE Our design has provided for proper screening, convenient access by service people and tenants and construction materials compat— able with the building materials . Each dumpster is built with material on three sides to match the building and chain link gates interwoven with redwood slatts. Similar treatment of screening and gates will be used for tire storage . Both the dumpsters and tire storage will be open to the top . 4. • \ • 40 9, PARKING Our objective with the parking and overall land to building coverage will allow for both the customer and the tenants. Currently the Big 0 Tire store has only 5 spaces for parking, three working bays, and stacking space for 2 cars . This plan provides 10 parking spaces designated for Big 0 Tire plus the ability to utilize other parking in the center and this plan provides for 8 working bays with four being drive through. After physical examination of the parking situation at Park Central where both TCBY and Little Caesars are tenants, it appears that the parking provided on our plan will be sufficient. Each tenant feels that this plan will be more workable since at Park Central there are 9-10 business which face Lemay with approximately 32 parking spaces directly in front of their units, this is then approximately 3 spaces for each tenant . Our plan shows 21 spaces with easy access to TCBY and Little Caesars . • There are of course other parking spaces available in Park Central . Given the fact that our parking spaces are too valuable to be available for automobiles, we have not provided a motorcycle parking space . 9 . SITE AMMEN I TY For the convenience and pleasure of the public, we are providing outdoor bench seating in conjuction with the landscaping which protrudes infront of the complex. 5 .
