Narrative for Village Orthodontics Addition We are seeking Site Plan Amendment Approval to build an additional 3,365 sf expansion of the new Orthodontic Clinic Building under construction at the NW corner of County Rd D west and Old Highway 8. This addition will be for a new dental specialty clinic and will bring the entire project up to 10,955 sf. The Orthodontic Clinic proposal was before the City and approved last January,with that submittal indicating an area for potential expansion. The opportunity to realize that expansion came sooner than expected, hence the request to amend the Site Plan. The addition will be single story, with flat roofs at 13'-6" and 17'-6", matching the original building. As before, the higher portion of the roof will wrap around the roof-top mechanical equipment on three sides, screening this equipment from view with a minimal amount of extra effort. The exterior walls of the addition are identical to the original building, ie, frame construction finished with EIFS with a brick wainscot capped with a stone sill. There is also some decorative stone at the entry. The plan that was approved last January showed 47 Parking Spaces, much more than required for the Orthodontic Clinic,but we maximized the site in preparation for this addition. This current layout has actually added one space on the west end, bringing the total to 48. Using the calculation of one space per 200 sf of total floor area less 10%,49 spaces would be required. But, calculating the actual maximum needs of the two clinics the proposed 48 spaces will meet those needs. For the Orthodontic Clinic,there are 9 chairs; worst case is one patient in every chair and one patient waiting, ie, 18, with a total staff of 10. Allowing for an increase of 2 staff,maximum parking needs would be 30. For the dental specialty clinic,with much less patient turnover, their maximum number of patients is 5, with 10 staff and a potential increase of 2 also, maximum parking is 17, for a total need of 47 Spaces between the two clinics. With a site perimeter of 1,269 feet, and Tree Landscaping requirements based on every 50 feet of perimeter of 1,000 sf of building,the perimeter measurement still dictates the number of trees(and shrubs), so we are assuming that what was approved previously is still valid. Two trees just west of the Orthodontic Clinic have been relocated further west of the addition, and we have added more Ornamental Grasses and Junipers along the front of the Addition.
