Based on City Council resolution (1993) 208, that established a policy requiring developers of tracts outside the City limits that are connected to the public utility system to petition for annexation into the City Limits at the time of development of the property, a condition of approval of this plan will be that the owner submit a petition for annexation after the approval of the preliminarv an and prior to recording of lot or issuance of any construction permits. Karen Duke (890-3656) can provide information on petitions for annexation. PLNRV: 2. The eastern parcel, owned by A.V. the Grove Barton Master Plan Area preliminary site plan approval by the Site Data table to remove the footages associated with this par. Anderson, Inc., is not within and shall require separate the City Council. Please amend land area and building square gel from the totals shown. 3. Amend Site Data table to revise parking requirements. Shopping Centers require parking @ 1 space per 250 square feet of total building floor area. Please remove reference to the furniture store @ 1 space per 400 square feet and provide the required total (246,650 square feet minus the building on the Anderson property, 7,500 square feet, equals a total of 239,150 square feet for a parking requirement of 957 parking spaces). 4. Any parking which is shown to be located within the area reserved for the future Lynn Road/Glenwood Avenue interchange right-of-way must be parking in excess of the minimum required by the Code. 5. Amend plan to include sidewalks which provide safe pedestrian access from the surrounding public streets to the main entrance of all buildings. 6. Please amend the note relating to the existing cemetery revising it to say "Prior to dedication...". 7. The proposed drainage pipe located on the eastern edge of the site conflicts with the designated "tree save" area. 8. Please consider redesigning the site to orient the front of the buildings towards the collector street. As proposed, the backs of the buildings are towards the undeveloped property to the north which will most likely develope as multi-family residential. By facing the retail towards this future residential, and providing connecting sidewalks, there is the potential for serving these residents without them having to drive across the street to get there. Additionally, the ugly side of the buildings are then oriented towards the thoroughfares and will be screened by the required thoroughfare street yards. 9. The proposed development is not in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan; recommending a maximum of 1,500,000 square feet of retail within this City Focus Area. At this time, there exists, is approved, or is pending a total of 1,484,910 square feet of retail. The subject request would surpass the recommended maximum by 224,060 square feet, for a total of 1,724,060 square feet . CONSER: 10. A stormwater management plan shall be required to be submitted prior to the issuance of any grading permits. This plan must provide evidence that the existing box culvert under Lynn Road is adequate to accommodate the additonal stromwater runoff resulting from this development. If it is not adequate, it shall be the developer's responsibility to do off-site improvements or to detain stormwater on site for the necessary period. P_UTIL: 11. Show water line within Grove Barton Road. TRANS: 12. Please provide a traffic study for the proposed development. 13. Please remove the driveway labeled as "future entrance". No additional access will be allowed along Lynn Road. 14. Please remove the parking shown within the controlled access. This is where the future ramp for the Lynn Road interchange will be located. 15. Show the collector street with a minimum 395' radius. 16. Please dimension all right-of-way, road widths, and show and dimension all lane markings. APPEARANCE CON~ISSION: 17. Show tree preservation within the Thoroughfare Yard.
