3 from the south side of the building to the north. Sidewalks and pedestrian circulation are similar, including the 6’ public sidewalk reconstruction along Lexington Avenue. It is noted that the Fall of 2015, Frattallone’s is planning construction of their Garden Center improvements, along with related Arden Plaza LLC implementing their parking lot island and sidewalk additions. Grading, Erosion Control Plan, and Stormwater Design Grading and erosion control is similar to the PUD. The reduced building foot print has allowed most of the grade transition to be sloped, with a retaining wall(and ornamental fence as required) along the east side. Rice Creek Watershed District(RCWD) has indicated that new storm water requirements have been implemented in December of 2014 and that the site has to conform to the new rules, thus the existing rain garden systems may not be adequate. New rain gardens along the east and north sides of the site has been added to address some of the new requirements. Application for RCWD approval and permit will be submitted during a similar time frame as with the City’s submittal. The Reciprocal Easement Agreement and related Maintenance Agreement defines shared storm water use and maintenance responsibilities. Utilities Utilities for the site are similar to the PUD. Water and sanitary stubs are already provided on the north end of the property and the existing 27/30” trunk storm sewer will be located outside the proposed building area, which will also require the related storm sewer easement to be modified. Other utilities, like gas, electric, telephone, etc are in the area and final location will be coordinate the utility providers. Landscaping The site will be lawn grass along the perimeters, along with a nice design of perennial and shrubs in the rain gardens and building/patio perimeter. The trees match the PUD, with 6 shade trees along the south main driveway, 3 shade trees along the east perimeter, and 8 ornamental trees along the west and north sides of the building.
