APRIL 24, 1995 P & Z BOARD HEARING, CONTINUED TO MAY 8, 1995 - 45-94A - DECISION - MINUTES/NOTESPlanning 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 MMaa8thh.._ 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.
