FORUM SUMMARY: Property Situation: The property is located at 550 Reserve St. Development Details: The applicant is proposing to develop an approximately 150,000 sq. ft. Class A professional office building adjacent to Granite Place Phase 1. The building will be designed as a multi-tenant 5-floor office building. Granite Place Phase 2 is 23% smaller than the previously approved Phase 2 building in the Master Plan. Project Improvements include: • 142,000 RSF, 5 Story Class A Office • 265 car parking garage addition • 50 street parking spaces • Approx. 50% open space including an outdoor conference center Presentation: Questions and Concerns: 1. We have had drainage issues from Town Square to Gateway and to our properties. Will this be drained through the same drainage way? In the original design, there was a stormwater main in a stormwater drainage ditch that was put in place. This storm main drains the water and brings it through the cistern, under S.H. 114, and flows downstream through the pond system on the northside of S.H. 114. 2. I know this development will bring additional drainage. This area has been engineered all the way up to Kirkwood Blvd. and the capacity for water retention is overwhelming. Beyond that, it has not been engineered, it’s all natural. The area is just eroding away, so I’m just trying to get the attention we need to do something about this. All the water for these sites is retained on-site and drained out at a controlled flow. 3. From our perspective it ends up being additional capacity. If its engineered, we don’t have any erosion up through Kirkwood Blvd. After that, there is additional flow that causes erosion over time and with more volume. 4. For the restaurants, will they have outdoor seating? Yes, they will. 5. The garage capacity, will that account for the restaurant concepts? Yes, it will. This site is self-parked. 6. DPS Headquarters is still clear on the sideline view from Division St. as an anchor on the west-end. Is that correct? Yes, we tried to camp the building back for provisions for that reason.
