2005/12/05 Council Agenda Packet

Setbacks: No setbacks. (This is the current setback for the existing medical office building, garage and hospital). Curb cuts: Intent: To maintain continuous uninterrupted sidewalks by minimizing the impact of driveways. Guidelines: Access should be taken from alleys where feasible. Curb cuts for driveway entrances shall be located no closer than 100 feet apart. Sidewalk patterns shall carry across the driveways. Consolidate vehicular driveways. Cancer Center and related parking vehicle access shall be taken from 13th Street only. There should be no curb cuts on Oakes. Parking lots — screening and landscaping: Intent: To reduce the visual impact of parking lots and define pedestrian and vehicular circulation. Guidelines: Trees should be used to break up large surface parking areas at one tree per four parking stalls. Trellises, low decorative walls (max 30" high) or raised planters should be used to screen parking lots from adjacent streets and walkways. Wheel stops shall be used to prevent vehicles from overhanging into planting areas. Parking lots will provide Type III landscaping along the street frontage. The landscape planting areas between the sidewalk and the parking lot shall be 10 feet wide. Up to half of the width of the plant bed may be placed in the public Right of Way with permission of the City. Site access: Intent: To provide clear and safe pedestrian and vehicular circulation. Guidelines: Both vehicular and pedestrian access points should be clearly visible from adjacent streets. Vehicular access onto the site will be provided from 13th, 14th and Rockefeller Avenue. Entrances shall be prioritized as: 1. Main Entrance — 13th Street to and from Broadway Avenue. 2. Secondary — 13th Street to and from Colby Avenue. 3. Secondary - 14tt' Street to and from Colby Avenue. Vehicle access designs shall work toward the above goals. 16
