were found to pose an environmental risk to the Property and that further environmental assessment W?5 unwarranted" (Delta Enviromnental Consultants, Inc., 1994) Storm water Drain:H!e: After passing through on site detention ponds) about 17 acres of the site drains south into Wetland SOW, The remaining 40 acres drains to the Cleveland Avenue storm system and then into Wetland 203W, east of Cleveland Avenue. Wetland 203W is a regional drainage pond for an total area of about 329 acres) while Wetland SOW has a total drainage area of about 504 acres, Both wetlands are designed to accept the run-off from Centre Pointe as long asthe rates are maintained at or below the predeveloped rates of 1986. Both ponds have outlet structures that have been sized to limit the duration and rise in water surface elevation during rain events. By restricting runoff rates to preexisting conditions (as required by Rice Creek Watershed District), the extra volume created by the building and parking lots \\iJJ not cause water levels to change significantly in either pond and therefore, w:1: no: adversely aJter the hydrology, or associated plant and animals communities in either we:land Site LandscaDin2. Li2htin2 and Trails: " " .~ When the existing Centre Pointe Business Park ,was developed, sidewalks,. street trees and street lights were placed along Centre Pointe Drive and Lydia Avenue, A bituminous trail was also constructed around the perimeter of the site. Ryan's proposed plan will maintain the existing walks, street trees and street lights, The bituminous trail is in poor condition and will be reconstructed around the perimeter of the site to fit with the proposed Ryan Site Plan. See sheets 4 and 5 of the pre:iminary plan set Each individua1lot will be landscaped to enhance the architecture of the buildings, See sheets 10 and 11 of the preliminary plan set. Appropriate site lighting wil1 also be provided for each lotuslng lighting that is dov.'ncast and will not disturb the residemia! neighborhood, highway and businesses adjacent to the si~e, Buildin2 Architecture: The buildings are designed to step back to create a more interesting massing and to bre8:k up the facade (See attached building perspective and elevations). The exterior wall finishes are complimentary brick masonry building finishes, complimenting the existing building structures. with accent areas of stucco or decorative cast stone concrete. Exterior openings are enclosed with aluminum frame v and glass doors and windows Finish grade quality of wood, stained or painted, will be used on some of the proposed buildings to accent entries and highlight areas, The majority of proposed buildings will have low s10ped roofs hidden from view by parapet walls. The hotels, restaurants and office buildings are proposed to create a business community with uses to serve not only the Centre Pointe Business Park but enhance the surrounding area. - 4 -
