Subdivision and PUD Request Because of the current tax parcel configuration of the property, a subdivision is being requested in order to allow for a closing on the first phase of the project with the current land owner, to be followed immediately thereafter by the demolition of the existing truck terminal and service garage, the removal of the underground storage tanks, and the commencement of construction on the first phase, to be completed in 1994. Construction of the second phase is currently scheduled to commence in 1995, to allow sufficient time for the environmental remediation of the east portion of the site. The proposed subdivision would create a new plat with three lots. Lot 1 would contain the existing 1985 warehouse. Lot 2 would contain the first phase of new construction, and Lot 3 would contain the second phase of new construction. Because the project will be built in phases and proposes the shared use of driveways, curb cuts, parking areas and site utilities, we are applying for a Planned Unit Development to allow for the consistent treatment of the different phases of the development and the flexible handling of setback and other issues to improve the overall development. Economic Considerations The development will include approximately $5.5 million of new construction, and will involve approximately 100 construction jobs. Once constructed, the new development could provide for as many as 200 new jobs on a permanent basis. Site Plan Considerations The remodeling of the existing 60,000 square foot building and the addition of two new structures will create a '~front door office park" image along County Road C that currently does not exist. Landscaping along County Road C consists of boulevard trees, a 40 foot wide lawn, a landscape parking screen and planting beds adjacent to the buildings. Trees and planting beds are also provided at interior car parking areas. All landscaping will have an automatic irrigation system. Truck loading areas are screened by building configurations from public view. Architectural Design Upon completion of negotiations with the tenant, the existing building will be remodeled. Improvements include the addition of windows, front entrance addition and the upgrading of accessibility. New structures will consist of one story masonry buildings with provisions to add mezzanines. Exterior materials are integrally colored decorative concrete masonry with brick banding and accents. Aluminum windows will have anodized frames with tinted glazing. All exterior materials will be prefinished so that painting will, be eliminated as a maintenance issue. Similar exterior materials will be used on all sides of the building, including dock areas. An upper band of windows will give the building a more human scale, along with individual projecting entrances that will visually reduce the length.
