Move small-scale retail closer to entrance road so customers may be able to walk 5. Free-up space on-site to accommodate future transit stop (about 20 parking spaces with space for someone else to build shelter) 6. Increase landscaping in parking area to meet standard of 180 sf of landscaping per 10 spaces 7. Insufficient dumpsters for size of retail Margaret ©r Coun SkVP Comrllewh Ham ion PointlMaster Plan The following items have been identified as unsatisfactory and should be revised to reflect the following: Parking and Loading 1. North Carolina State Building Code requires additional handicap accessible stalls. 2. No handicapped parking is provided to be readily accessible to Building 3. 3. Loading areas to be designated at sides and rear of buildings. 4. Eliminate all parking stalls that backup directly into main access points. Landscaping 1. Landscape divider strips to be provided at each parking aisle perpendicular to parking spaces. 2. Landscaping required around base of structures to offset long expanses of wall surface. 3. Additional and extensive landscaping required at perimeter of property and along street rights-of-way. 4. Provide additional open space/tree preservation buffer between parking lot and road rights-of-way. 5. Parking area quadrants to be separated by landscaping. Impervious Surface 1. 69% impervious surface indicated on plans does not include additional impervious surface which will result in development of outparcels. Maximum impervious surface recommended for the entire project is 50%. Additional development of outparcels could result in impervious surface exceeding 80%. Architectural Considerations 1. Add offsets to Building #1 and landscape around perimeter to provide relief from long, uninterrupted expanses of wall. (Move center section of building forward) 2. Move loading area to opposite end or side of building to avoid circulation difficulty. 3. Building architecture (exterior election) could use enhancement. Site Layout 1. Building #3 not allowed in rail station reserve area. 2. Move most of outparcels to a walkable area. 3. Leave/add natural areas along corridor. Roadways/Transportation 1. Align signal for cross access between truck/gas stop. 2. Widen NC 86 to four (4) lane divided highway. 3. Accommodate future rail stop area and provide bus drop off zone. 4. 100% retail can overburden traffic capacity of roadways in area and limit potential of other non-retail employment based sites in the EDD area. Environmental 1. Locate buildings, roadways and parking areas to minimize land disturbance by matching land elevations and preserving natural vegetation. 01125/2001 14:34 919644:3001 UN. ?_ i v. rL?t??alM? rµut 1-9.?
