f �' �a � U � December 2, 1986 T0: Jim Andre FROM: SUBJECT: Howard DaYilgren � PLANNING OFFICE HOURS, NOVEMBER 26, 1986 1. Casey, 48'9--2259 Jim Casey wati in with a preliminar�r plan to divide his property north of Victori.a into three lots. It appears that there could easily be foux. lots, and that the access to the two southerly lots which front on Victoria should actually be from the no�th side (not direc�ly off victoria). This would be �afer and more aesthetically desirable. He do�s not have topography, although the City's topog- rapi�ical mapping services are naw producing maps at the r�t� of on� a we�k Mr. Janisch tells us, and that within possibl�r three weeks the area where Jim's 3and is will have topagraphy. I ea�plained that it is important we have such topograph� so as to be able to properly ?ay out this land which is unique and very desirabl.e. The solution may well involv� private driveways rather than a pub�ic stree� and cul-de-�ac, inasmuch as a cul-de-sac would tend to destroy the land. � The plan now is to wait for th� tapography and thcn carefully lay it out so as to c�et the be�t k�uil.ding sites fox future citizens. 2. Rosewood, 631-3254 P�et�r Hilger fram t3�e Rosewood Corporation was in with a series of mor� detailed, colored drawings illustrat�ng the site plans, floor pl.ans, and elevations of the proposed off�ce deve�.opment consisting of �ive buildiz�gs at the north- west quadxant of Highway 36 ar�d 35wa Th�y propose to build two buildings in Phase 4ne, th� easterly �nost of twa on the w�st�rly part of the sit� (rc�sidential ].ots) consis�ing of approximately 80�000 square feet, four stories high, and the c�nt�r building in the cl.ust�x of three turther �a th� n4rtheast consistinc� of 176,000 square f�et, nine stori.es high. Action required by the City will Ynclude processing of a Plann�d t7nit Development, Special Use Permit for site plan approval, preliminary plat, and varianc� to parking requirements. Four spaces per thousand are proposed due to rec�nt research which points out that in large office s��-uct�res of this typ�, parking needs can be as low as three to three and one-half spac�s per thousand gross. Dave Janisch suggested a petition for a feasibility study for � constru�tion o� the public street as well, so that process can be on-going with the development review process. They are preparing an EAW which we have encouraged them to get to the City as quickly as possibl� so the time clock on that procedure can begin running.
