Dear Linda:
At Michelle's request, I have enclosed a copy of the four conditions of Preliminary P.U.D.
approval for Prospect Park as stated in the Staff Report dated June 26, 1995. In addition to
the four conditions of approval stated in the Staff Report, the Planning and Zoning Board
added one condition and a request in consideration of the Final P.U.D. These are as follows:
5. The applicant is encouraged to increase the "pedestrian friendliness'' of the Payless
building. Since this building is close to the intersection, it should feature an
architectural character that is more pleasing to view from the intersection. Features
such as display windows and additional entries should be considered. Please refer to
the Design Standards and Guidelines for Large Retail Establishments for further ideas.
Enhanced architectural details will be evaluated by All Development Criterion A-2.7 at
the time of Final P.U.D.
6. It is requested that the applicant investigate and evaluate the impact of providing the
traditional formal row of deciduous shade trees along the Prospect Road and Shields
Street frontages. It may be more in the public interest to preserve a view of Long's
Peak at this intersection by maintaining an open vista or view corridor rather than to
close the view off with shade trees. It may be that the view of the mountains may be
enhanced by removing two shade trees. This request is not meant to be a condition of
approval but is offered as a non -binding suggestion.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these five conditions of approval and
one request.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
