PAGE TWO SUBJECT: Resolution No. 37, Series 1998. DATE: July 21, 1998 A sidewalk connection to the eastern parking lot is proposed along the north side of the building, along the common property line with Lot 4. The applicant has proposed landscaping on trellises, along with potted plants and pedestrian scale lighting to create a courtyard type pedestrian amenity area. Parking: Parking for this building is provided as part of the overall development parking in Outlot A on the north, south and east perimeter of the site. The development meets City parking requirements for medical office uses with six spaces per 1,000 square feet. Additional parking will be completed in Outlot A to meet the demand created by this building. The applicant has also submitted a phasing plan that establishes triggers for completion of all of the common area improvements for the subdivision. That plan establishes absolute triggers, should the development of the remaining lots take several years or more, as well as interim triggers based on expected construction scheduling. Architecture: The proposed building is a single story, with a multi-planed pitched roof. The base of the building will be a standard dimension reddish-brown brick, with a concrete cap. The brick IS intended to match the color of brick on the approved development to the south, Wellspring Assisted Living. The balance of the building will be stucco with some pa.inted wood trim. Roofing will match that on the existingmedica1 office building. The design of the building, while fairly simple, draws heavily on the architectural style and colors of the existing building in the medical campus and other buildings on the school site. Lighting: Most of the lighting for the development, in the parking lots and circular drop-off area, waS approved through the overall fInal PUD. The applicant is proposing some additional lighting. Two wall sconces ~e proposed on either side of the main entry, and two low pole lights are proposed in the courtyard area on the north side of the building. The pole lights are the same design as is already in place around the circular drop-off area. The wall sconces are from the same family of fIxtures and while not completely cut off in design, should be subdued due to the frosted glass and low wattage. A total of approximately six downcast soffit lights are proposed on the south, east and northwest building elevations. Those should be limited to a maximum of 100 watts. Slgns.: Two small building identifIcation signs are proposed. They would each be approximately three feet tall and two feet wide. As currently depicted, they would be mounted on a c.m.u. base to match the building As the building material has been modifIed to be brick, the sign base should also be modifIed to be brick. The signs are proposed to be illuminated with ground mounted spot lights. The wattage of that lighting should be limited to 100 watts. An additional Coal Creek Medical Campus monument sign is also being proposed. The sign is being proposed at the driveway connection onto the Wellspring property. That cabinel sign is proposed at approximately eight square feet and would not be illuminated. Planning Commission Conditions: The Planning Commission recommended approval on June 9 with 7 conditions. Those conditions have essentially been met. 1. Condition #1 has been met except that the letter of credit still needs to be provided prior to any additional building permits being issued. 2. Staff is recommending that the base of the building identifIcation sign be modifIed to be brick rather than c.m.u. 3. Staff also recommends adding a condition limiting the soffit lighting and sign lighting, as discussed above. Resolution # recommends approval with 2 conditions.
