Height <br /> <br />The maximum building height in the I-1 District is 35 feet. The skyway would have a height of <br />approximately 29 feet at its connection with Buildings 3 and 10. At its highest point, the top of <br />the skyway would be approximately 34 feet above the roadway surface of Innovation Way. <br /> <br />C. Setbacks <br /> <br />The approved PUD requires a 50-foot structure setback along all exterior property lines of the <br />campus. The proposed skyway would be approximately 760 feet from the closest property line. <br /> <br /> <br />Section 1325.05 – Design Standards <br /> <br />A. Landscaping - Section 1325.05, Subdivision 1 <br /> <br />Since the proposal includes additional building space, the City’s landscaping requirements apply. <br />The minimum landscape requirements are determined based on the gross square footage of new <br />building space. However, this would not apply to the gross square footage of the skyway. In this <br />case, Boston Scientific would be required to provide 13 caliper inches of trees (4,147 gross <br />square feet / 320 = 13). The Landscape Plan indicates a total of 47.5 caliper inches of deciduous <br />hardwood and coniferous trees will be planted along the sidewalk to Building 14 and in the area <br />around the parking lot north of Building 10. <br /> <br />
