The stores at the corner of Stuart and Shields, Spring Creek, are not desirable looking. However, Spring Creek Medical Center area is nicely done. 35. Will the developer be able to donate some property for bus pull-outs? Can the City flex its standards to increase the length of the pullout, so stalled cars have a place to get out of the way. 36. Scotch Pines is 15 - 20 acres and no comparison in scale, but good comparison for residential character. 37.. Could you house the bank and all under one roof? A. We thought breaking up the mass with three buildings would be more appropriate than one large building. 38. If the Ponds at overland Trail is developed, this will impact traffic in this area at Shields and Prospect even more. All those folks will use Prospect Road, too, and the congestion will be even worse. 39. Can a bridge be constructed, jumping the drainage area, for cars and pedestrians? A. A vehicular bridge over the drainage area to the south would be very expensive. A bridge for pedestrians, however, possibly can be considered. 40. Are people going to want to go in either direction crossing Shields and having cross traffic from the Albrecht parcel to the Mullaney parcel? A. The traffic study will look at this by analyzing the operations of the proposed access on Shields. 41. The existing traffic control box at the southwest corner of Prospect hinders the vision of pedestrians and adds visual clutter. 42. The City Police need to cruise Shields Street area more for speeding cars. 5 24. We are very concerned about the height of this whole project. 25. Can some computer graphics be done to illustrate the proposed structures for us? Since there will be some fill, it would be interesting to see what a two-story structure looks like on the property. 26. I am concerned about the lighting, sidewalks and bike accesses in this area. These three things are important for neighborhood compatibility. A. We agree and will address these issues. 27. could there be an exit at Heatheridge, or an access to the west if possible and could you connect the bike paths together? A. Good comment! A bike connection to the west will be explored, but vehicular access to Heatheridge is not possible. 28. The real problem to this project will be the exits and accesses. A. A traffic study will help us analyze the operations of the proposed access points. Safety is an important issue here including safety of pedestrians and people on bike paths. 29. I would like a well lit, easy access and pleasant looking project to be built. 30. I have had to wait through several light changes at the corner of Prospect and Shields streets. The left turn cycle for westbound Prospect needs to be longer. 31. The roadway striping at the intersection seem inconsistent with what cars need to do. The striping is awkward for drivers making the double -left turn. 32. A bus pull-out is warranted off of Shields south of Prospect. Presently, the bus stops in the travel lane. This causes congestion and a pull-out is needed. 33. I live on the north side of Prospect, Road. Presently, it is difficult to turn into my property due to the left -turn stacking lane for eastbound Prospect and there is two-way traffic in front of.my house. 4 built on this project. Another neighborhood meeting is A good idea. 14. Will your traffic study take into consideration other nearby projects? A. Yes, it will. 15. The plan proposes a curb cut on Shields for right-in/right- out and left -in turns. I am concerned about.northbound Shields left -in. Will it conflict with left turn stacking lanes for northbound Shields to westbound Prospect? A. This will be considered in the traffic study. 16. I'm concerned about the proposed left -in curb cuts and children and pedestrians walking along Shields having to cross another crosswalk type of situation. 17. The height of the bank building (two-story) does concern me. 18. Cars in the parking lot areas will be placed at a low level in order to screen them somewhat from view. 19. Can we, as neighbors, get together and change the proposed use for this project? A. We would like to develop an office/retail area which will serve the neighborhood. We are not trying to find uses that will attract customers from across town. 20. If the traffic impact is not solvable, what will happen? A. The traffic impact must be mitigated or the project will be denied. (For example, the Albertson's proposal died due, partially, to access & traffic issues.) 21. Can the building structures be limited to single -story in size? A. Keep in mind that many residences are two-story and there are many attractive two-story commercial buildings. 22. A two-story structure would really limit the view from my house. 23. Can a brick, one-story strip center be constructed there, similar to the Toddy's area? A. We would like to use brick, also. 3 6. I'm very concerned about any 24 hour operation in this development. Is the P.U.D. written so 24 hour services cannot go in there? A. Payless Drugstore is considering the hours of operation to be 7:00 AM to 6:00 Pm. The developer is also concerned about the hours of operation. 7. Who owns the wetlands? A. The City's Stormwater Utility does. 8. What are you going to do with the piping, i.e. the storm sewer on Prospect? A. We're going to leave it. It was installed under the ground with last year's Prospect project. 9. I'm concerned about the quality of tenants/clients you allow in there. A. Good comment! We are going to limit retail. For example, we are not allowing fast food/drive-thru restaurants. 10. Will this proposed project add an extra burden on the drainage channel and its capacity? A. No, the channel was designed with the assumption that this property would be developed. 11. How much more fill is going to be placed on this site? A. This area has to be filled to 5,016 feet (mean sea level). The low point for stormwater discharge is at elevation 5,016. The low point for the site is at the extreme northeast corner of the site which is at 5,013. Therefore, a minimum of 3 feet is required for positive drainage. 12. Is this whole area crisscrossed with utility lines? A. No, it is not. 13. I definitely think another neighborhood meeting is warranted. The aesthetics of the rear of these proposed buildings and their trash enclosures are also important to US. A. Yes, it is. We would like to get further input from you on the type of structures you would like to see 2 NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES PROJECT: The Mullaney Property - SWC Prospect/Shields DATE: March 9, 1995 APPLICANT: Mullaney Family CONSULTANT: Linda Ripley, Ripley and Associates PLANNER: Ted Shepard The applicants, The Mullaney Family, are proposing a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) for a mix of retail and office uses on 6.7 acres. As proposed, the anchor tenant would be a 15,000 square foot.drugstore. Other proposed uses are a two-story medical office, a two-story bank, and multi -tenant retail building. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS 1. Traffic is the number one problem. I'd like to see a low impact development go in here. 2. The geese are now driven down by the drainage area.. 3. Is there an impact to the wetlands due to sediment from street sanding? Are there impacts from oil and gas residue? A. The City's Stormwater Utility goes into the drainage channels and wetland areas every five years and cleans out the sediment. To the best of our knowledge,. impacts from oil & gas residue are negligible. 4. How many parking spaces are planned for this project? A. 180 - 200 parking spaces are planned. 5. I live on the north side of Prospect and cannot turn left to go east at 8:00 AM. It's too difficult. 1
