Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 10, 2022 Page 4 of 13 proposed on the PUD Amendment. The existing easements were platted as part of the 2017 subdivision plat. The applicant proposes the vacation of easements that are no longer needed from the original plat, as shown in red. This will be further evaluated at the City Council hearing. The PUD Amendment proposes construction of 17 buildings, including 4 commercial retail/office buildings on the southern half of the site towards South Boulder Road and 13 residential multi -family buildings containing 38 dwelling units on the northern half of the site. The site layout is similar to the 2017 PUD Amendment and includes a north - south private drive that connects South Boulder Road and Hecla Way. An east - west access drive into the site off Blue Star Lane is located in a similar location to the existing 2017 PUD. The PUD Amendment proposes alleyways for access to the residential buildings. Areas on the site are connected through a network of drive aisles and internal walkways. The walkways connect to the adjacent streets and trail to the west. Walkways are 5ft in width and 6.5ft in width in areas adjacent to parking spaces. Existing drainage infrastructure is maintained in the southern 35ft drainage easement. A total of 92 spaces are provided for the 38 residential units. Parking is provided through two -stall garages in each unit, along with two driveway spaces for buildings 11 and 12. A total of 148 parking spaces are provided for the office and retail uses on the site. Some spaces are used for snow storage seasonally; however, the required 142 spaces will still be available.16 bicycle spaces are proposed where 15 are required, as shown in red. Bicycle spaces are proposed adjacent to commercial buildings in convenient locations off the sidewalks. The site provides the required number of EV spaces per Section 17.20.170 of the Municipal Code. EV charging spaces are separated out per use, as seen in the PUD parking plan tables on Sheet 5. As mentioned, there are four commercial buildings on site. Building 1 is a two- story structure with retail on the first floor and office on the second floor. Each floor is 5,471 square feet or 10,942 square feet total. The location of the building is shown in red on the key map in the top left. The building has varying forms to add architectural interest and depth to the building.

Small amounts of metal siding are used on the east and west elevations on the first story. Building 2 is two -stories and also contains retail on the ground floor and offices on the second floor. The building has 7,295 square feet per floor or 14,590 square feet total. Building 2 consists of mostly flat roofs with butterfly roofs on the east and west sides of the building.
