The property in question is zoned I-1 and is bounded on the north by RCM Plaza and the Spec. 11 building, on the east by the Parkway Place office -industrial building, on the south by vacant I-1 zoned land, on the southwest by the Ramada Hotel, and on the west by vacant I-1 zoned land. The proposed plaza is an aesthetic improvement to the central parking lot and does not constitute a separate use requiring parking spaces, etc. The plaza is to be located along the south side of Tract C, R.L.S. No. 1564 (the northerly of the two tracts which contain the central parking lot). It is approximately 54' wide north to south and 270' long east to west. A perimeter planting bed varying in width from 5' to 12' shields the central paved plaza from cars parked to the north and south. The plantings include 10 Honeylocust trees, 7 Japanese Tree Lilacs, 5 Radiant Crabs, a Red Maple, and 6 Colorado Spruce. In addition, a number of shrubs are proposed, including Broadmoor and Sea Green Junipers approximately 4' apart in the perimeter planting bed. Spirea shrubs are also indicated in the northerly planting bed and near the pavilion. The plaza area is to contain a 20' square pavilion on the eastern end cantilevered over a large reflecting pool about 75' long and 12' to 24' wide. At the west end of the plaza is to be a fountain with vertical acrylic cylinders (similar to the fountain at Peavey Plaza) flowing into a smaller pool. In the center of the plaza six picnic tables are to be located. Benches are provided in appropriate locations near the water features. A sidewalk is also planned to run south of the plaza toward the future office site at the northwest corner of Freeway Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway. The remainder of Tract C, R.L.S. 1564 will be devoted to parking spaces except for greenstrip areas separating the parking lot from the private drive serving the interior of the business center known as Parkway Circle. Part of the lot is already paved and the remainder should be completed this year. The City holds a financial guarantee for its completion and the possible construction of a ramp. The fact that the plaza area will reduce the number of stalls in the central lot by 64 increases somewhat the likelihood that a parking ramp will be constructed. However, this is offset by the fact that the Spec. 12 site (west of the lot) will no longer be allocated spaces from the central lot (See application No. 86034). One concern of the plan for the central lot is the narrowness of the greenstrip adjacent to Parkway Circle. Most commercial and industrial parking lots are separated from public streets by approximately 15' of boulevard and 15' of greenstrip. In the winter, this generally allows for snow storage without kicking the snow from pavement to pavement. In this case, however, some portions of the central lot will be separated from the private road by a greenstrip of only 7' width without any boulevard. Since the lot is fairly large and the roadway is over 40' wide, it is obvious that there will be inadequate space for snow storage on the site. 8-28-86 -1- Application No. 86033 continued In the near future, the snow will likely be stored on the central lot. However, as occupancy of even existing buildings reaches 100%, there will be greater demand for all the parking spaces on the central lot. As a result, the snow will have to be removed from the site or cars may begin to park on the private road. Staff recommend that the private road be designated entirely as a fire lane to prevent this second option from developing. Altogether, the plans for the plaza area and central lot are in order and approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 1. Building, plumbing, mechanical and electrical plans for the pavilion, fountain, and pools are subject to review and approval by the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits. 2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 3. B612 curb and gutter shall be provided around all parking and driving areas. 4. Underground irrigation shall be provided in all landscaped areas to facilitate site maintenance. 5. Plan approval is exclusive of all signery which is subject to Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances. 6. An as -built utility survey of the site shall be submitted to the City Engineer prior to release of the financial guarantee for the central lot. 7. The private road known as Parkway Circle shall be designated as a fire lane in its entirety. 8-28-86 -2- ly Lj v - - r CITY MAINTENANCE BUILDING REEK ��• APPLICATION NOS.
