<br />Memo to Planning Coll1IIlission <br />Planning Case #02-25: Preliminary Plat and MaSter Plan PUD <br />Page 9 of 12 <br /> <br />and to promote alternative means of transportation. Staff would encourage the applicant <br />to proVide more alternative transportation programs (van pooling, park and ride services, <br />altemative shift schedules, etc.) for the applicant's employees in efforts to minimize any <br />traffic issues. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />The applicant made note that approximately 138,500 square feet of tllanufacturing area in <br />Building F is leased from Guidant by a number of different companies. <br /> <br />7. lleight of IJuildiDgs <br /> <br />The Concept Plan presented to the Planning Coll1IIlission at the January 2,2002 meeting <br />included two 8-story buildings and two 8-story parking ramps. The proposed Master <br />Plai1 F'UD has only one 8-story building (building K). and has no 8-story parking ramps. <br />After receiving feedback on the COncept Plan from neighborltood work sessions, Guidant <br />has attempted to create a more neighbor-friendly design by moving the taller structures to <br />the southern and interior portions of the campus, and by locating several levels of parking . <br />rilltIp below grade. The reSUlt is that the height of these buildings would have the most <br />visual impact on the commercial property south of the campus on County Road F. <br /> <br />Of the existing buildings 6 of the 7 are already above the maximum height criteria for the <br />I-I Limited mdustrial District. In addition, the MaSter Plai1 shows 6 of the 8 proposed <br />buildings or building additions and 5 of the 7 parking ramps would exceed the maximum <br />height requirement. However, since the taller buildings and parking ramps have been <br />planned for the southern portion of the campus the impact of their height should be <br />ininimized. The tables below compare the existing buildings, proposed buildings, and <br />proposed parking ramps, with the I-I maximum height criteria. <br /> <br /> <br />Building A <br />Buildin B <br />Building C <br />Buildin D <br />Buildiu E <br />Building F <br />Building 0 <br />(old Nestle pro erty <br /> <br />35' <br />35' <br />35' <br />35' <br />35' <br />35' <br />35' <br /> <br />57' <br />42' <br />42' <br />25' <br />45' <br />46' <br />40' <br /> <br />. <br />
