frustration with approval of these business appearances and denial
of Saturn's request for a partial stucco exterior.
The Markleys stated that they have been in the community for over
58 years and have always built or remodeled in good taste.
Public Comment: No public comment was heard.
Board Discussion and vote: In response to questioning the
following points were brought out:
In review of the existing buildings in proximity to Saturn, Staff
feels the existing brown brick of this facility was more in keeping
with the surrounding character.
The parapet height is being increased, but the overall height of
the building is not being increased.
Member Walker stated that he can appreciate the fact that an
established character in the area exists, and he feels the Board
must try to maintain the existing character. He has no objection
to the stucco treatment but objects to painting the brick on the
existing building.
Member Cottier stated that she was bothered most by the height
increase of the parapet for a building so close to College Avenue.
Member Fontane said that she did not see harm in changing the
appearance of a building if it was all in good taste. She
questioned if there was a way to keep the brown brick and perhaps
have the building be two-tone in color.
Member Carnes and Member Bell reiterated their fellow board
member's comments.
Moved by Member Walker, seconded by Member Bell: To deny the
Saturn PUD Referral of an Administrative Change, citing All
Development Criteria A2.7. The Motion approved 5-1, with Member
Fontane voting in the negative.

Discussion Agenda:
North College Avenue Corridor Plan:

making for approximately 2 1/2 years. There would be no decision
on this item tonight, this hearing is for public comment only.
The plan was done primarily in three phases:
Phase 1, a thorough analysis of existing conditions;
identification of issues and problems such as transportation;
drainage; and the means of area development from past to

Phase 2, further analysis of existing conditions; development

preferred alternative is to divert Dry Creek to the Poudre River
thereby eliminating the flooding possibility. Storm water Utility
has been studying the issue. The plan recommends that Storm Water
