Title

VILLAGE BANK OFFICE AND PARKING EXPANSION

 

Background

Village Bank is looking at a significant office expansion for their building at Cloverleaf Parkway and Highway 65. The expansion would add a four-story office addition on the northwest side of the building totaling 40,000 square feet. A significant parking addition will also be needed in order to meet the minimum parking requirements. The attached site plan lays out the concepts for the expansion of the building as well as the parking.

 

The site concept as proposed has three challenges:

 

1.                     The building addition along Cloverleaf Parkway does not meet the required 50-foot building setback.

2.                     The expansion of building and parking surfaces will require additional storm water treatment that will need to be accommodated by the plan.

3.                     The additional parking is located off the Village Bank property and onto City owned parkland (Aquatore Park).

 

A reduction in the size of the building would be beneficial in addressing both of these issues. Representatives from the property will be available to discuss and answer questions.

 

Recommendation

The City Council will need to provide direction on whether there is interest, whether based on this plan or with a smaller building, in working out some form of joint parking solution for the additional parking on Aquatore Park.
