Department to present a security plan and will provide a letter from the Sheriff s Department <br /> approving said plan. <br /> The PUD process provides for flexibility in certain code requirements, the attached chart <br /> outlines our proposed unit mix and size. The proposed size for 1 bedroom and 3-4 bedroom <br /> units meet the current code requirements. The size of the efficiency and percentage maximum <br /> and the size of the 2 bedroom units do not meet the current code requirements. A great amount <br /> of time has been spent researching housing trends as they relate to student housing; the <br /> proposed sizes and unit mix are consistent with what is currently being developed in newly <br /> constructed projects and therefore we believe this unit mix and size will be well received by the <br /> market. Since the building is a preexisting structure it does not lend itself to the creation of <br /> underground parking and construction of garages is not financially feasible. As consideration <br /> for the foregoing PUD flexibility the parking lot will be upgraded to provide better drainage and a <br /> storm water detention pond will be created. Curb, gutter, landscape islands and improved <br /> lighting will be added. Reconstruction of the front driveway to add parking in front of the retail <br /> space; along with removal of the driveway East of the current canopy to simplify traffic flow at <br /> the easterly entrance/exit on County Road E. Removal of the front canopy structure will be <br /> done as well as adding new storefront for the retail area. As additional consideration the <br /> developer is willing to permanently eliminate the"middle" ingress/egress driveway access to <br /> County Road E. <br /> The former restaurant/banquet space will be converted into specialty retail. A retailer will <br /> occupy the entire banquet/kitchen area and it is anticipated that another 1-3 tenants will occupy <br /> the former McGuire's space. The common hall between the two areas will be maintained to <br /> create an entrance facing County Road E along with an entrance to the parking area on the <br /> North side of the building. <br /> We believe this mixed use development lends itself well with the city's B-2 District Plan by <br /> providing for updated exterior and interior building and site improvements. Additionally the <br /> apartments will provide residential density (consistent with the B-2 goals and objectives) and <br /> provide residents/customers eager to utilize the local businesses around them via the sidewalks <br /> and roadways planned for the B-2 District. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Robin C.
