9. Comment: (Resident) This neighborhood has problems with compatibility
to the commercial zoning district to the west. The
neighborhood was there long before the commercial zoning, and
seems to get the bad end of the bargain when it comes to
dealing with those business owners and the City.
10. Question: (Planner) Do the residents of the neighborhood have any
problems with the proposed car rental facility, or are the
concerns generally stemming from the undetermined tenants in
the rest of the building? What sort of timeline is the owner on
to fill these spaces? Do you have any potential leads?
Response: (Resident) The car rental facility seems to bean acceptable
use, we are just nervous about what other uses will occupy the
building.
Response: (Owner) We are hoping to fill the spaces as soon as possible. It
is most likely that the remaining space will be used for general
office or personal/business service uses and not retail,
automotive or restaurant activities.
11. Comment: (Resident) The applicant and owners need to be aware of the
Fairway Estates First Filing Covenants and architectural
standards.

this proposal.
6. Comment: (Resident) U-turns in this area are problematic and I would like
to have those added into the traffic study.
7. Question: (Resident) What are the proposed hours of operation?
Response: (Applicant) The car rental will be open from 7:30 am until 6:30
pm Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm Saturday, and 8:30
to 3 pm on Sundays. We deliver a large majority of cars to the
clients, so that may even decrease the number of trips that
have been estimated for this type of use.
8. Comment: (Resident) There is general distrust for businesses in this area
due to promises made in the past that were overturned. For
example, there have been many problems resulting from a
neighboring restaurant and alternative school, and we hope that
those types of uses do not locate here. Specifically, we do not
want to see restaurants, retail or automobile repair.
Response: (Applicant) The Type I uses that are proposed for this facility
in addition to the car rental could include the following:
- Public facilities
- Places of worship or assembly
- Personal and business service shops
- Offices, financial services and clinics (includes medical/dental
offices)
- Artisan and photography studios and galleries
- Retail establishments
- Retail stores with vehicle servicing
- Vehicle minor repair, servicing and maintenance
establishments
- Equipment rental establishments
- Health and membership clubs
- Veterinary facilities and small animal clinics
- Print shops
- Public and private schools, including colleges, universities,

Access Plan? Will there be a rearage road on this site? Where
is that proposed road going to be located?
Response: (City Troffic Engineer) At this point, the proposed easement
will go on the eastern edge of the property, but this may
change after our meeting on Thursday. The implementation of
this corridor plan is not on any timeline yet, and this rear "road"
will not go in until major changes occur on Highway 287. This
project will be need based, and will not happen for many years.
Follow-up Response: (Planner) The location of the easement has been determined,
and will be 20 feet wide on the west side of the trail easement.
This may change with the implementation of the corridor plan,
but at this point in time, this seems like an appropriate location
for the easement.
3. Question: (Resident) Will the bridal path be affected by this
development?
Response: (Applicant) The path and the trail easement will remain as they
currently exist.
4. Question: (Resident) How wide will the road behind the building be?
Response: (Planner) At this point there are no plans for a true road, but
rather it will be a 20 foot access easement to connect this
parking lot and drive aisle to other properties. The design of
the South College Access Plan has not really begun, so this is to
be determined when that plan is implemented.
5. Question: (Resident) How is the traffic data gathered? Do you have
traffic counts or just models?
Response: (Applicant's Traffic Engineer) The Trip Generation Manual was
used to approximate trip generation for these uses. This is a
model, but we also have historical traffic counts for the area,
and a few current counts for the key intersections related to

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicants are proposing a change of use for the
existing office building at 4900 South College Avenue. The former use was a
claims office for the State Farm Insurance agency and the change of use request
is to allow for rental car facility and other Type I permitted uses, which have not -
been specified at this time. The site will remain predominantly as it currently is,
with the addition of landscaping to current City standards, and an updated west -
facing fa4ade.
...........................QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS, RESPONSES...........................
1. Question: (Resident) What are the traffic impacts with this proposal?
Response: (Applicant's Traffic Engineer) The proposed use is very similar
to the former use and there will not be a significant change in
the number of trips generated. Traffic should be about the
same as when this building operated as an insurance claims
office.
2. Question: (Resident) How does this project fit in with the South College
