Motion passed 6-0. Mr. Blanchard stated that Tom Shoemaker had continued the corridor plan tonight and was asking to include it on the second work session as a third item so he could get input from each member of the Board. Mr. Blanchard stated that he will include that for a half hour, along with the Parks & Recreation Master Plan and the North College rezoning and design guidelines. Meeting adjourned at approximately 12:15 a.m. • 40 Planning and Zoning Board Minutes . April 24, 1995 Page 17 Member Carnes stated that he also would not be supporting the motion and he felt that there was a need to open up the area, not in a linear fashion, to truly maintain some of aesthetics of the area from Overland Trail on up. He did not believe that had been done. He suggested that the density should be lowered, and stated that he does not see a minimization of the aesthetic impacts and that, at this density, we aren't going to see much further reduction in aesthetic impacts. Member Strom responded that density is not in question. He compares this development to what is going on south of Horsetooth Road where the density is much lower, and he believes that that area is an abomination compared to what he thinks this development is going to end up being. In terms of the minimization of visual/aesthetic effect, he stated that he felt the most sensitive visual area was the upper area and that the development preserves the upper area for public use, which is a very strong benefit. Member Bell added that in watching City Council deliberations, they were clearly very concerned about the aesthetic impact of the project and doesn't think they would have • worded the motion as they did if they didn't want the Board to take a stronger approach. She still felt that density could be looked at in order to make this a more aesthetically pleasing project. She felt that Council was trying to encourage the Board in a subtle kind of way to try to do something different so that it could be clustered in a different way. She felt the Applicant had done absolutely nothing to enhance the project this evening. Vice Chairman Cottier stated that Council direction was clear that the Board is supposed to consider additional evidence in reevaluating whether Criterion 6 was met, but she believes that Criterion 6 is met. She felt that the amount of open space, overall open character of the development, the extensive setbacks, height of buildings, and natural colors being used really impacted the overall aesthetic impact. She stated she would like the Applicant to look at the fencing issue and the trees along Overland Trail, which both have potential better uses. She would be concerned about six-foot tall solid fences anywhere in the development. Motion passed 3-2. Ms. Clements stated that due to the time, the Board will hear the East Side/West Side matter and that the rest of the agenda will be heard on May 8th. 0 Planning and Zoning Board Minutes • April 24, 1995 Page 3 MINUTES OF MARCH 27, 1995 MEETING: A correction was noted by Member Cottier on Page 21, third paragraph from the bottom, deleting the "not" in the middle line. Member Cottier moved that the Board approve the March 27th Minutes as amended. Member Carnes seconded the motion. The motion was approved 6-0. . ITi. • 1 Ii u i Member Carnes had concerns with the intersection at Landings and Boardwalk and any impact this development would have on the traffic congestion at that intersection. Tom Vosberg, Transportation Planner stated that staff was aware of the congestion at that intersection and that the current work plan is expected to complete JFK Parkway from Horsetooth down to Boardwalk this summer or early fall. It was anticipated that the intersection of JFK and Boardwalk would be signalized, decreasing traffic volume and breaking up the flow of traffic. Staff expects to continue to work with the post office • on traffic issues related to their facility. The traffic study indicated that level of service policies were met and the intersection was appropriate with the volume of traffic there. Staff will continue to monitor the intersection once JFK Parkway is complete and reevaluate if they don't see the kind of redistribution of traffic they are expecting. However, staff is confident that the present situation meets the appropriate standards. Member Carnes asked for accident statistics for that intersection. Mr. Vosberg stated that he had that information at the office but could not address that tonight. Member Carnes asked about access onto Landings Drive from Boardwalk and JFK. Mr. Vosberg responded that staff believed it was important to have that access in part because both of the other accesses will be limited to right in/right out only and any traffic heading south will have only that one option. Member Carnes also asked about the visual impact of Building No. 3, in particular, to the adjoining residential neighborhoods. Mr. Olt responded that the building would be set back about 30 to 40 feet from flowline to the building. The building would have a finished floor elevation to two to three feet, which is down relatively close to the grade of the street. The buildings are 25 feet in height, which is not exceptionally tall. • Planning and Zoning Board Minutes April 24, 1995 Page 2 Discussion Agenda: 12. #9-94 The Ponds at Overland Trail - RF Cluster Development Plan Review. 13.
