COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan of May 1996 shows the property as

DISCUSSION:
The applicant is proposing to build a 14,545-square-foot office/warehouse
on a 1.51-acre site fronting Lakeshore Drive. The applicant is proposing
to meet the parking requirements for 100% office use. There are 49
parking spaces required at one space per 300-square feet; 50 spaces are
proposed. At this time, MDI Construction Company will occupy 50% as
office/warehouse and the other 50% will be speculative office or
office/warehouse space. A 6' masonry wall is proposed to screen the
loading area and will be secured with a wrought iron fence/gate. More
detail is needed on the elevations (i.e., proposed colors, material, spacing
between columns, etc.) Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure the
landscaping area calculations are in accordance with the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance. There are 22 (3" cal.) Cedar Elm and 9 (3" cal.)
Little Gem Magnolia trees proposed. A 20" Dwarf Burford Holly hedge
will screen the parking area from Lakeshore Drive. The building
elevations show an "earl grey" and "camel" color painted tilt-wall
structure with brown stone, clear glass and aluminum colored standing
seam awnings at the entries. Accent squares and reveals are blue. There
are four sign areas shown. Staff recommends removing the one in the
middle of the structure and leaving only those above the entries. A two-
tenant monument sign is shown to be constructed of the same tilt-wall
used on the building. More information is required for the sign panels and
lighting of the sign, as indicated in stall' recommendation.
