Re: Walgreens @ Drake Crossing
At our Planning & Zoning Board work session today the Board expressed several concerns and will
definitely "pull' this item from the consent agenda next Thursday night, March 21 st, for discussion.
* First, they want your traffic engineer at the meeting to discuss the traffic report and the indicated levels
of service at intersections in the area.
* Second, they want to know how the west elevation meets the requirements in Sections 3.5.3(C)(1) &
(D)(2)(a) of the Land Use Code, primarily pertaining to horizontal masses (height/width ratio) and
minimum wall articulation.
* Third, they want to know why no tree mitigation is either being required or proposed for the loss of a
significant number of existing trees on the site.
* Fourth, they will probably talk about the need for drive -through lanes for this facility.
It is important that we be prepared to respond to their questions. I will be talking to Tim Buchanan, our City
forester, about the tree mitigation situation, and will contact our traffic operations department to appraise
them of the need for their presence at the Planning & Zoning Board public hearing.
I can be reached at (970)221-6341 if you want to contact me by phone.
