Item #4, PMC Partnership, John Perkins, Warehouse and Offices, Lots John Perkins represented PMC Partnership. There are five buildings in this project. The three lower buildings have access from a lower parking lot and a higher parking lot, the access road is an 8118 grade off of Metcalf Road. The top two buildings have access only from the east. The lower three have two levels (lower) of warehouse and .-)ne of office space; the two higher have one level (lower) of warehouse and two levels of office space. 52,000 square feet, 558 warehouse and 458 offices. Snow removal - runs at the ends of the buildings. Retaining walls by structural engineer, three of them, 12 feet high, and one eight feet high around the back. Materials - real stucco and cedar wood siding, Olypmic stain #717, off-white stucco, accent color on hand railing and doors. Roof drainage - flat with built up gravel, butterfly truss, drainage will be off the ends which will be away from the doors and access. Construction will start with Lot 17 (two buildings) in the Spring, 1981 and the three buildings on Lot 16 following. There will be a vacation of the lot line and easements between the lots, soils tests will be presented for each site. The driveway is rather steep at one place, it may prove difficult. The grading and drainage plan will be studied by the Town Engineer, has been studied by KKBNA. The buildings are 30 feet wide and 125 feet long, 43 feet high, about 10,000 square feet each, the upper levels will be kept in a residen- tial character. Units will be at least 30 feet deep, area ratio can vary, larger than mini -warehouses. There are 106 parking spaces, 81 are required. They will be designated on a percentage corre- sponding with the amount of area a person has leased. Snow removal and trash storage are adequate, can be added to. Lighting - on the building and two light fixtures out at the en- trance and at the turn -around will be well -lighted. Two bathrooms for each building, no living units are being considered for these buildings. Mike suggested that the corners are too sharp against the soft slope. The color of the doors was discussed. Landscaping - the area of extensive landscaping will be on the interior portion of the property, natural vegetation around the sides and some landscaping in the front, evergreens and aspen, shrubbery, reseeding on the north and south sides. The Board asked for more shrubbery, more landscaping near reroute of Metcalf ditch and along the adjacent property lines. Add mountain mahogany, service berries, trees by the retaining walls on the north and, cluster 4-5 evergreens near the road but maintain visual access. Light fixtures - will be submitted. Summary - Alter contour 82 at the project entry on Metcalf Road; cut down the road on the south side; Mike likes a blended color rather than the blue, possibly burnt orange; irrigation in the front for landscaping materials planted there; mountain mahagony shrubbery at snow storage ends of parking lot; landscaping in the retaining wall area on the north end; possible evergreens in the front; eliminate some of the aspen trees for mountain mahagony shrubbery at the ends of the buildings;fixture light schedule; end elevation drawings; submission to the Fire Department; dis- .._Ci�'-'•-: 1l ct..ccn .._:'-I nand ztucc:,_S,n thc__..i._ ^.1 n•.a *y,nn• •,..r�iFl- John Perkins represented PMC Partnership.
