" ("' e . The existing conditions of the City property and the unkempt nature (thick under brush) of the adjacent townhouse property made walking the south property line very difficult. Very few townhouse units are visible from the City property. The largest opening or exposed area ofthe townhouse property is in the area south of units 15-19. We will work with the City staff and make appropriate changes to the landscaping plan to add evergreen trees in that area. The adjacent townhome association does not maintain their property along our common lot line. Much of the area has thick under brush and vegetation is left growing in its natural state. We have provided three revised exhibits for the July 6th Planning Commission meeting. They are; Site Plan, Lighting Plan and a Building Rendering. The changeslrevisions to these exhibits are described as follows: SITE PLAN The major change to the site plan is a ten foot shift of units 15-19 to the west and the elimination of three parking stalls in front of unit 20. These revisions accomplish the zero encroachment/filling of wetland A as requested by Rice Creek Watershed and it also moves the parking lot (and lighting) away from the closest townhouse units to the south. We are also showing more sidewalk connections near unit 26 and along side of units 1 1 and 12. We have also provided for a connection to the city trail way system at a location on the north side of unit one. This plan shows open space at 40.2%. We feel the open space and landscaping plan meets the spirit and intent ofthe Neighborhood Zoning District. LIGHTING PLAN The lighting plan was revised to show the latest building locations and parking areas. Adjustments were made to the number and location of fixtures in order to comply with the City's lighting regulations. The new plan does not show meter readings of 0.4 candles on the adjoining property lines. Hence, the adjacent residential properties will not be impacted by parking lot lights. BUILDING RENDERING We are providing a new color rendering of the proposed buildings. The exhibit portrays the exterior materials of brick and hardie board. Other details shown on this rendering are the canopy above front entrances and a uniform name/address sign next to each entrance. Individual business wall sign will be limited to 30 sq. ft. and must be mounted on the wall sign band.
