Parking <br />Approximately 110 tuck-under garage spaces are proposed with additional surface <br />parking to supplement the enclosed parking, with a goal of roughly 1.5 to 1.7 total <br />parking spots per unit. <br />Grading and Drainage <br />The siteÓs existing topography offers both opportunities and challenges. Of course, the <br />opportunity comes from the high view point over the lake and how the grade change <br />makes a natural entrance for the tuck-under garage. However, there will also be a <br />number of challenges created by this topography, including figuring out whether or not <br />the proposed surface parking on the west side of the building can be built into the hill. <br />Future submittals, which include proposed contours and driveway grades will need <br />further scrutiny. <br /> <br />The development will need to construct adequate stormwater facilities to meet the <br />watershed districtÓs requirements for both water quality and quantity. <br /> <br />Utilities <br />The sewer main serving most of the north side of the city runs from west to east across <br />the north edge of the property. The property may directly access the sewer anywhere <br />along that line. There are adequately sized water mains along both the east and south <br />sides of the property. Service and fire protection lines may be tapped from these mains. <br /> <br />The development will be subject to sewer, water and stormwater system access fees <br />(SAC, WAC, Storm AC). Those fees can be found in the cityÓs fee schedule. <br /> <br />Streets <br />Street Access to the property will need to come from Centerville Road and Westview <br />Street. Access directly to Main Street along the west edge of the property is not likely to <br />be allowed by the county due to sight distance restrictions with the curve. Westview <br />Street is not adequately constructed to handle the proposed apartmentÓs traffic and will <br />need to be upgraded to a city standard street (both in terms of width and thickness). The <br />cost for the upgrades to Westview Street will be borne by the developer or negotiated as <br />part of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) agreement. <br /> <br />Traffic <br />Traffic produced from this development could be on the order of 600 to 700 trips per day <br />(a trip is a one-way event; so this means 300 out and 300 in = 600 trips). The capacity of <br />Centerville Road and the intersection at Main Street and Centerville Road are both likely <br />adequate for this increase in volume. For context, the number of vehicles per day, on <br />Main Street in this area is around 11,000. <br />Streetscaping <br />The cityÓs downtown master plan envisions streetscaping extending up Centerville Road, <br />from Main Street. A pattern of trees, lights, sidewalk, trail and decorative concrete <br />should be considered in keeping with the in-place items on Main Street. Right-of-way <br /> <br />
