the proposed building on Novation Parkway. The ground floor will contain a generous sized community room, management office and exercise room. The management office and exercise room typically are active spaces,these rooms will face onto Novation Parkway. The balance of the ground floor will be comprised of dwelling units. Floors 2-4 will be comprised of dwelling units. Transit, pedestrian and bicycle accommodations to and from the site will be provided via comprehensive infrastructure improvements recently completed in accordance with planning and traffic engineering studies approved by all appropriate local jurisdictions. New roads within the campus generally have bike paths and sidewalks on both sides of the street and bicycle parking will be provided on site. In addition to pedestrian and bicycle access the Campus provides,transit is accommodated with a Madison Metro Transit stop near the corner of Rimrock and 89th Degree St. Virtually all infrastructure for the Novation campus is in place so the Project will take advantage of a true in-fill location that does not require additional infrastructure investment. Past use of this urban infill redevelopment site was generally commercial in nature. As part of the campus master planning process the site was cleared and graded. As such,there are no natural features on the property. On-site open space and outdoor gathering areas will be accommodated through a first floor patio area located to the rear of the building to take advantage of southern and western exposure. This outdoor space will supplement a planned plaza area adjacent to Lake George as well as Southdale Park, Rimrock Park and Badger Park, all within walking distance to the site for the use by residents and guests. The site will comply with stormwater and erosion control standards. Snow will be removed from the site as needed;ample areas exist to store the plowed snow on the southern portion of the site. Parcels located within the Novation Campus II subdivision are subject to an approved overall SWMP for the campus. Parcels are required to provide oil and grease control for parking lots,stable outlet design and conveyance to the existing storm sewer infrastructure. Runoff rate control and total suspended solids(TSS)reduction for the parcels are handled by on-site regional facilities serving the campus.The campus is exempt from infiltration requirements. Design Concept The building serves as a marker not only to the corner of this intersection but also as a symbol of the diversity intended for the entire campus. The site plan reflects an urban concept wherein the building hugs both streets and the intersection. The eclectic yet cohesive color pallet, mix of materials,and more modern architectural form allows for individual expression and identity while always understood as part of a singular community. The site plan and architecture work jointly to preserve and reinforce open space, landscape and pedestrian circulation. The Project is consistent with the Novation campus master plan in terms of use, massing and density. The building hugs Novation Drive and holds the corner at 89th Degree Street(while respecting the vision triangle). The front façade features a center entrance that will primarily be used by visitors but will serve to activate the street. Rooftop mechanicals will be screened as needed.
