One of the two entrances from Century Drive has been eliminated and a new right-in/right-out access has been added on McCaslin Boulevard. Building setbacks from the east property line have been increased to a minimum of 70 ft. from the property line adjacent to the single family homes. Minimum building setbacks from McCaslin and Century Drive range from 40 to 60 feet. The setback from the structure to the edge of the pavement is approximately 65 ft. with the completion of McCaslin Boulevard improvements. Building mass has been reduced by breaking up the original seven buildings into nine smaller buildings and orienting the short elevation towards the adjacent single family. Roof pitches have been revised to lower overall building height to 26 feet. The proposed grading plan has been designed to keep the buildings at the lowest elevation possible. Finished floor elevation is driven by the curb elevation at the northeast corner of the property, where the detention area will be located. Finished floor elevation must maintain 2 ft. of freeboard above potential height of 100 year storm event. Landscaping - The buffer is focused on keeping it around the project, as primarily the bulk of the open space. With increasing that buffer between the multi-family project and Cherrywood subdivision, between 70 and 100 ft., there is basically two parallel series of berms 3 - 5 ft. high, which are landscaped. The landscape has been intensified. Wood stated that on July 13, 1993, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 12, 7 - 0, with 18 conditions of approval (SEE ATTACHED). The Commission approved the resolution on the basis that the conditions were all of a technical nature and at the developers assurance that all conditions would be addressed by PUD revision prior to being reviewed by Council. Wood had reviewed the conditions of approval and with the exception of No. 18, he did not find a note on the PUD pointing out the issue of the shared access. He will check with Public Works to make sure all of the easements have been shown on the PUD. The applicant has met all of the other conditions of approval.
