OLIVE ST. - MODIFICATIONS OF STANDARDS - 27-07 - DECISION - MINUTES/NOTESPlanning & Zoning Board October 18, 2007 Page 3 concern, he believes, is he thinks the structure is too flat and too big. He believes that impression comes from the review of the elevation drawings. He believes with a better understanding of the complexity of the elements of design, some of his concerns will be allayed. They want to be good neighbors and will do their best meeting with their architects to reconfigure. It will be a challenge, given the areas for which reductions might be considered are the bedrooms and bathrooms. His goal, however, is to make the neighbor a fan and not an opponent of the project.

All six Modifications relate to density, lot coverage and height standards in the Neighborhood Conservation Buffer, N-C-B zone district. The parcel is located at the northwest corner of East Olive Street and Mathews Street.

Hearinq Testimonv. Written Comments and Other Evidence Chief Planner Ted Shepard reported this request is for six stand-alone Modifications in conjunction with a pending Project Development Plan located at 220 East Olive Street. All six Modifications relate to development standards in the Neighborhood Conservation Buffer, N-C-B zone district. The pending P.D.P. would be a request for a multi -family redevelopment project at the northwest corner of Olive and Mathews Streets across from Library Park. The existing structure would be razed. The proposal consists of constructing a new four-story building consisting of 14 dwelling units with parking below -grade. The fourth story would be stepped back from the first three stories except along a portion of the north facade. The first floor units would offer an option for live -work potential. Access to the underground parking would be from the alley along the west property line. This west property line is also the boundary line between the Downtown zone and the N-C-B zone. The lot measures 90' x 140' for a total of 12,600 square feet. Staff has been contacted by an abutting property owner to the west at 230 Remington Street. The owner had indicated that he has concerns with the building achieving a height of four stores along a portion of the west elevation. The owner, who was unable to attend the public hearing, is concerned about the height and mass of the west elevation. While he supports the overall intent and design concept of the project, his particular concerns are as follows: 1. The height and mass of the building's west elevation could be mitigated increasing the step back of the fourth floor from the third floor. 2. The height and mass of the building's west elevation could be mitigated with further architectural embellishment and detail. Both the applicant and architectural consultant have discussed these issues with the adjoining owners and all parties agree to continue to meet in order to resolve these design issues. Jeff Fleischer of Vaught -Frye Architects presented slides that showed space and site plans, elevations, and building cross sections that highlighted the reduced square footage on each of the four building levels. Member Wetzler asked if they'd had conversations with the adjoining property owner. Owner Jay Stoner reported that he'd had an extended conversation with the owner who lives in Boulder. The Chairperson Lingle called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m Roll Call: Lingle, Rollins, Schmidt, Smith, and Wetzler Excused Absences: Campana, Stockover Staff Present: Gloss, Eckman, Shepard, Wray, Jackson, Leavitt, and Sanchez -Sprague Agenda Review.
