Building . . . . . . . . . 17 percent

TOTAL . . . . . 100 percent
C. Engineering Comments
(1) Dedicate right-of-way and improve 36th Street to
minor arterial standards.
D. Analysis
This submittal consist of an office/institutional type
use. Staff finds no fault with the location and use in
this area, especially since there is a similar existing
development on its western border. However, several
issues for resolution have been found.
(1) First of all, there is a discrepancy between the
survey and site plan submitted, since the site plan
only utilizes a portion of the property. As a result,
a subdivision plat will have to be filed in order to
extract the portion to be used by this applicant from
the remainder. The applicant must be sure to provide
the staff with a proper legal description it if differs
from what has been submitted on the application.
(2) No evidence of elevation has been submitted. It is
necessary that the amount of floors in the building be
specified. (3) This property and the abutting tract on
the east appear to have parallel drives. The applicant
is asked to indicate the exact spacing between these
two points of access. (4) As for basic PUD
requirements, the proposal's major deficiency relates
to the failure to submit a timeframe for development.
(5) Buffers and screening of the adjoining residential
areas should be shown, and the applicant should denote
on the plan how much of the existing foliage is to be
retained. Staff felt that the number of parking spaces
was sufficient since most of the uses of the facility
would probably not be using cars daily. The facility
is planned to serve 100 individuals, both children and
adults.
E. Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments made.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant reported that the building would be one-story.
He agreed to comply with staff's comments before the
meeting.
Water Works Comments:
Show road dedication of 40' north of centerline of
West 36th.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant submitted additional information that
indicated: (1) the height of the building as one-story with
an elevation of 338'; (2) the exact spacing in relationship
of the parallel drives which was approved by Engineering;
(3) construction should begin this fall with occupancy by
the summer of 1985; and (4) a portion of the property on the
east side, which was adjacent to an area zoned for single
family, did not meet the usual 40' buffer and 6' fence
requirement. Because the site generally is heavily
vegetated, the Commission felt that the proposal was
acceptable if some type of assurance was provided to
guarantee that the existing foliage would not be destroyed.
A motion for approval, subject to a notation on the plan to
this effect was made and passed by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes
and 0 absent.
