the mixed-use building. The accent paving proposed is textured, asphalt colored red to simulate brick pavers. In response to the Planning Commission's recommendation, the PUD has been revised to incorporate pedestrian crossings east to the hotel site, and south to the restaurant site on Lot 6A. A pedestrian crossing is important between Lot 6B and 6A due to the number of potential traffic movements which could be occurring simultaneously at the southwest comer of Lot 6B. In review of the final grading and drainage plan there is proposed a 2.5' high landscape wall circumventing the northwest perimeter of the patio area. An unobstructed handicapped accessible walk has been added to connect the patio area on the west side of the mixed-use building to the walkway on the north property line. There are two distinct building footprints, which are attached by a covered walkway. The bank building proposes a two-story structure with the second level being half the square footage of the main level. As the second story is half the area, it enables the structure to incorporate a full hip roof which allows for multiple roof planes, eave overhangs, and a more interesting mixture of roof forms on the parcel. The roof material is proposed to be a forest green composition shingle roof for both buildings. The development proposes a red brick as the primary building material with a stucco accent. The roof treatment of the retail building proposes a mansard style to screen mechanical units. Gable elements are now provided on all four building elevations. Window treatments have been added to all four building elevations. The retail building provides a covered walkway the full length of the west elevation, and portions of the north, south and east elevations. In response to Planning Commission direction to re-address the east elevation of the mixed-use building the building elevations have been revised to incorporate an additional two-foot projection centered on the elevation. The elevation, as revised, now steps out at three points providing an additional architectural interest. The applicant indicates total landscape coverage, based upon gross lot area, of 33.4 percent, which excludes all sidewalks but includes hardscape walkways around the building. The landscape plan meets Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines landscape requirements perimeter tree counts. Required tree count is 52 trees, 56 trees are provided. Parking lot tree counts are in compliance with Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines. Modifications to the landscape plan, in response to Commission recommendation include: 1. The overall ratio of deciduous to evergreen shrubs has been reduced to 3:1. 2. Deficiencies in perimeter tree counts have been corrected. The number of perennials has been increased over 400% from the preliminary plan. 3. Additional trees and shrubs have been installed around the dumpster location to screen from adjoining access drives. 14
