longer need public access. Easements for utilities, most notably the US West Fibre Optics line easement will be retained within the former First Street ROW. PUD The proposed PUD #6 would encompass the entire Brighton Corporate Park II area and would consist of 13.6 acres and four office/warehouse buildings. The overall PUD concept plan is being presented at this time to the Planning Commission and City Council for your review and approval. Also, as each of the Four Phases or stages of the PUD are finalized with specific site plans, each phase will also be presented to the Planning Commission for formal PUD and site plan approval. The City Council already reviewed the attached PUD concept drawings, and based on their positive reaction to the concept plan, selected Industrial Equities Group (EIG) as the developer for the BCP II area. The buildings proposed for the BCP II area would be designed to compliment the existing industrial buildings to the north. The proposed buildings and parking lots would comply with the standards of the I-1 district, parking standards, and the PUD requirements. All buildings would be at least 60 feet from all right of ways and at least 30 feet from the perimeter of the PUD. Prior to Phases Two, Three, and Four of PUD #6 being approved, the City would need to vacate and remove that portion of 1 st Street NW lying within the PUD boundaries, and extend 5th Avenue NW to the south toward the railroad tracks. Also, the City would need to purchase the remaining single family home, the storage garage site, and approximately 100 feet of railroad right of way to the south. Once the properties are acquired and the streets vacated and extended, then the PUD area would need to be platted to place each of the four buildings on a separate lot. Again, at this time, the Planning Commission and City Council are being asked to give concept approval to the entire PUD #6, and are being asked to consider approving Phase One of PUD #6 and LP-310, which would allow the construction of the proposed office/warehouse building. PHASE ONE / LP-310 The office/warehouse building proposed for Phase One of the PUD would comply with all I-1 district standards, parking standards, and PUD requirements. The landscape plan was reviewed by the City Forester and contains a variety of New Brighton hearty plantings. The City Forester recommended no changes to the landscape plan. The proposed building would have an exterior treatment of decorative brick and glass and would serve to compliment the existing industrial buildings located north of the subject site. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject site as the "Brighton Corporate Park" site, and calls for it's continued redevelopment as an industrial park with light industrial and manufacturing uses featuring clean, modern, and attractive facilities. The Comp Plan further encourages the redevelopment of such marginally used industrial areas with intensive industrial parks having a high level of aesthetic quality. GACD\-96-PC\PC-RPTS\LP-310.WPD
