RESOLUTION No. 38, SERIES 1999 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR LOT 12, CENTENNIAL VALLEY PARCEL 'O', FILING No. 7, UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE Davidson called for staff presentation. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that United States Postal Service, represented by Mr. Craig T. Ballard, is requesting authorization of A Final PUD Development Plan for the construction of a 23,932 SF facility on Lot 12, Centennial Valley Parcel O, Filing No. 7, addressed as 566 McCaslin Blvd. The subject property is zoned Planned Community Zoned District - Commercial. The subject lot, Lot 12, is 3.8 acres in area and was created upon authorization of a subdivision replat for Parcel O in June of 1998. A 30' "no build easement" was created in conjunction with that replat to secure the necessary open yards separation for Sam's Club required by the Uniform Building Code. The northerly 30' of Lot 12 is encumbered by the "no build easement". The no build easement precludes the construction of buildings, fences, and other permanent structures. The easement does not preclude the installation of paving or landscaping, he Louisville Fire Protection District has accepted the proposed landscaping within the "no build easement". Two access points provide access to the site. Access into the customer parking area, located west of the main building entrance, is limited to one access point on the west property line, directly south of Sam's Club store front. The second access is located 80' west of the intersection of the private access easement and Dahlia Street. A lane dedicated for mail drop is provided along the south property line, which provides a stacking distance for seven cars. Building orientation directs the main entry to the southwest, with semi-covered parking for postal vehicles and loading dock areas in the rear of the building facing Dahlia Street. The proposed finished floor elevation is 5,460.5 as compared to Kohl's at 5,460 and Sam's at 5,463. The building and parking areas are in compliance with Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines setbacks. Building coverage is approximately 14.5% of the gross lot area. As a high percentage of the lot area is dedicated to off-street parking, the resulting landscape coverage is at 28.4 %, revised upward from 22.3% since review by the Planning Commission. The Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines require thirty-percent landscape coverage. Architecturally, the primary wall system is to be an integrally colored, architectural pre- cast concrete wall panel. Clear anodized aluminum is proposed for the store front and glazing frames. The color of the wall panels are selected to match the adjacent buildings as well as the metal roof panels which will be a "Hemlock Green" to match Kohl's Department Store.
