The office is connected to the upper level of the deck by an elevated walk/plaza. The parking deck will effectively screen the lower floor of this building from Gateway Boulevard. Both single story office buildings face the parking deck across small parking areas, The predominanf view from Gateway Boulevard will be the parking lots and upper parking deck surrounded by low offices, and the upper four floors of the mid-rise offJce building, Site Circulation and Parking Vehicular access to the office development in this alternative is provided by four drive connections to Galeway Boulevard. The western and eastern drives provide access to the surface parking, underground parking and lower deck level. The two central drives provide access to the upper level of the deck The internal layout of the parking and drives provides for alternate circulation routes within the site although the upper level of the deck can only be accessed from G,tteway Boulevard, Parking is provided in the parking deck (414 spaces), surface pMking surrounding the structures (11 ()O spaces) and parking under the office buildings (60 spaces). This alternative provides a total of I 574 spaces. The proposed parking ratio is 5.00 spaces per 1000 square feet of gross parking area. Open Space/Wetlands This alternative will also require concentrating development on the central part of the site and will result in a limited amount of wetland encroachment. Unavoidable wetland encroachment will be properly permitted and mitigated and the major portion of the existing wetland systems will be preserved intact. The wetland mitigation and storm water ponding requirements will again be provided adjacent to the western wetland system and will result in significant open space in both the western and southeastern parts of the site. This proposed concept includes smaller islands within and between the surface parking areas and parking deck It also includes open space areas (parking setbacks) that vary between 10 and 40 feet in width along the freeway and a setback and boulevard with a combined width of between 20 and 65 feet in width along Gateway Avenue. These islands and perimeter open space will provide adequate room for landscaping to buffer and enhance the development. IV, Wetland Mitigation Wetland mitigation required for Concept A is identified on Wetland Mitigation Plan Option 1. A total of 46,305 square feet of wetlands located in the central part of the site will need to be filled to develop Concept A. Wetland filling will require creating new Page 5
