Required Parking Phase II Expansion: Office/warehouse (30% or more office; 1 stall/300 SF) 12,200 SF = 41 Stalls Total Estimated Stalls for Full Build Out 49,200 SF = 164 Stalls Provided: 101 On-Site Stalls 38 Future On-Site Stalls 25 Off-Site Stalls (street parking) Total 164 Stalls Utilities and Stormwater Water and sanitary sewer services to the proposed building will tie into the existing water and sanitary lines that are in 14th Street NW and Northwest Parkway. There are existing stubs for both water and sanitary lines either off of 14th Street NW or Northwest Parkway. Most of the stormwater features have already been put in place for the development. The site is designed to drain to the existing regional ponds adjacent to the site: Park Pond to the southwest and Block C Pond to the southeast. These existing ponds were designed to meet the water quality and rate control requirements from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) in 2008. The 2008 requirements limited the impervious area to 80%. The drainage area of the site is split so that the total drainage area and the impervious area conform to the 2008 requirements. No new treatment of the storm water is required for phase I. The project team will submit to the RCWD for the stormwater permit. Landscaping Design The site vegetation and landscaping amenities incorporated into the design are intended to be welcoming, user friendly, consistent with the development design, and pleasantly convenient connections to the neighborhood. Site sidewalks connect the variety of parking spaces to the building entrances and the outdoor seating area on the west side of the building. Additional sidewalks connect these outdoor spaces to the adjacent sidewalk that will run along 14th Street NW. Future connections may be created with future phased planning of the facility. A simple, clean, elegant landscape bounds the building perimeter to soften building edges and heights, and enhance the building’s modern architectural aesthetics. Additionally, the landscape plan includes a mixture of deciduous overstory trees, coniferous trees, ornamental trees, varieties of shrubs, and ornamental grasses that provide a mixture of seasonal color and texture. Effort is being made to uniquely plan outdoor spaces with trees and plantings for privacy to create a pleasant environment for the future users of the site. The landscaping is also designed to mimic the surrounding landscaping within New Brighton Exchange and the streetscape already incorporated across Old Highway 8. With the emphases on
