, - - - Memo to City Council Planning Case #01-32: Guidant Concept PUD January 15, 2002 Page 3 of 4 . The Lake Johanna Fire lnspector indicated one potential problem with height of the proposed structures. The Fire Department only has one 100 foot ladder truck. Two of the proposed buildings are 135 feet, or 35 feet out of reach the existing equipment. It is anticipated that this issue can be resolved through established mutual aid agreements with adjacent municipalities. However, this will require verification and further review. . The Acting Director of Public Works has expressed some concern over past issues associated with utility service to the property. On one occasion last summer, the property experienced low water pressure that inhibited their operations. In conjunction with the Master Plan PUD, the applicant should prepare a detailed utility plan to mitigate against future problems. The City is currently in the process of establishing water restrictions to prevent events such as this in the future. The applicant will be available at the meeting to provide additional information and clarify any questions that you might have relative to this concept review. Discussion Points . Is the Council comfortable with the level/intensity of development contemplated for the property (square footage, height of buildings, parking structures etc. . .)? . What information, above and beyond what is traditionally provided (building/parking structure elevations, site plan, survey, grading and utility plan, landscape plan etc. . .), would the Council like to assist with the evaluation of a Master Plan PUD application? Planoiol! Commission Comments . There were several comments relative to overall building aesthetics, design, and materials. A desire was expressed to develop a unified design theme (not necessarily identical) between the existing a proposed buildings and parking structures. It was noted that color elevations, renderings, and related visual tools would be helpful when evaluating the Master Planned Unit Development. . The Commission indicated a desire for additional consideration to be given to the parking lot of off Lexington Avenue adjacent to Building F. Specific recommendations included landscape islands and berming. . The phasing of buildings should be consistent with the provision of required parking/parking structures.
