Petitioner: Robert Hicks,Hall Render, Heath & Lyman, P.C. • Presented an aerial map, the property is located north of 106`h St., west of Meridian St., and east of Illinois St. • There are two principal buildings and one accessory building planned for this site • Presented a site plan,to show all three buildings-hospital, medical office building, and parking garage. • This project is being presented to the Plan Commission for DP/ADLS approval • The four level parking garage is 41'7" in height. The three story medical office building is about the same height. • Presented a rendering of the parking garage • We have received letters in remonstrance from the neighbors on the proposed height of the parking garage • Presented a rendering of the sight view from Spring Mill Place • We will plant evergreen trees between Illinois Street and the parking garage • The light fixtures on the top level of the garage will be screened from view. The recessed lighting is being designed to cut off any light spillage to the neighborhood to the west • The garage lighting will be motion-detected • We are trying to minimize the effect of the parking garage on the nearby neighborhoods • If the garage were a principal building, we would not need a hearing or variance. Principal buildings should be no less than 4 stories per the MC zoning district. • The parking garage will be constructed to look like the primary building in terms of color and materials • It's complicated to have two principal buildings at this location because of how the site is laid out,the wide width of the lot,and there's a 60' wide underground pipeline that you can't build on • There are number of easements located around the site which made it difficult for the site layout • We can't do surface parking on this site because of the needs of the hospital and office building • We determined 664 parking spaces are needed to accommodate all the current and future uses. 478 spaces is required by the UDO. Public Comments: None Department Report: Angie Conn: • The parking garage is designed to complement the primary building • Staff supports the variance of the height of the parking garage • The gas line easement creates a challenge for the site • Staff considers positive consideration of both variances Board Comments: 2 Minutes Board of Zoning Appeals 9-23-19
