Description/History
First Reading
The property is located between Villaggio Apartments and the Northside Church of Christ. The applicant is proposing a four-building office/retail center. The buildings are approximately 4,000 square feet each and are predominantly brick and stone with an 8/12 pitch roof.
There is a drainage swale along the west and south side of the development. The applicant plans to leave the floodplain fringe in a natural state and use the existing vegetation and some new landscaping for screening in lieu of the required 8-foot masonry wall.
Other deviations include a reduction of the street landscape setback from 20 feet to 15 feet.
Second Reading
Pursuant to the discussion at the last meeting, the applicant revised the development plans to:
- Show AC unit locations on the side of the buildings
- Show 4 windows on the rear elevations
- Provided pictures of creek vegatation
- Change proposed landscaping to evergreen along the south side
Third Reading
In response to Council comments, the developer has prepared another graphic that provides an aerial perspective of the site. This graphic illustrates the extent of the proposed living screen and to show the anticipated locations and screening of the air conditioning units adjacent to the buildings.
