REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 09-25-95 ITEM NO: 1-2 Department Approval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: s/Recommendations Item Description: NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE PRY-ED CENTER BUILDING ELEVATION AND MASSING REVIEW/APPROVAL Background At the September 11, 1995 Council meeting, the staff was directed to work with representatives of the College, the Rice Creek Watershed, and the neighborhood to review massing, architecture, and soil erosion/control along the banks of the Lake and County Ditch 4. The meeting was held on the site on Wednesday, September 13th. Additional information has been prepared for the Council review by the architects and by the Rice Creek Watershed. (attached) A schematic model will also be available for the meeting. The major concerns have been: 1) the building setback from bluff and shoreline (exceeds the setback) 2) the size of the building ( new building is at least 40% smaller than 1986 plan) 3) the size of parking and storm ponds (same or very similar in area and capacity) 4) the 4 areas of erosion to be corrected by the college. Staff Recommendations: The staff perspective has been that the building is equivalent to or smaller than the conceptual plan of 1986 and 1992 and that the building plan and massing should be approved by the city. The City's standard procedure is that any conditions which have not been met to date, will have to be corrected prior to issuance of the City's Certificate of Occupancy. r Suggested Council Action: Motion to approve the massing and arch' ectural design as consistent with - or smaller than - the original plans approved in 1986 and 19 3with direction to staff to insure that all work and erosion control is completed as per the plans and agreements, prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
