The site is located at the southwest corner of East Horsetooth Road and Timberline Road, in the Horsetooth East Business Park. Staff Recommendation: Approval Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence: Steve Olt, City Planner gave the staff report recommending approval.

Planner Olt asked if Member Gavaldon was referring to the right-in/right-out onto Timberline Road. Planning and Zoning Board Minutes January 21, 1999 Page 3 Member Craig explained that her concern was that this was a private drive that connects to the street to the south. She felt that the way the street is, she would like to see more of a street than people walking north to south in a parking lot environment. She asked city staff to talk about turning the drive into a parking lot. Kathleen Reavis, Transportation Services replied that staff felt that the walkway made more sense to try design the future development and continuation of the walkway when the property to the east develops. The walkway up against this building provided the immediate need and as the other parcels develop out those pedestrian connections could be filled in at that time. Member Craig asked about the retaining wall on the south side. Ms. Straw replied that the only wall she was aware of on the south side was a landscape wall. The wall was not large enough to be considered a retaining wall. Member Craig asked about the right -in right -out on Timberline and where the bus stop is and the deceleration lane being shortened. Matt Delich, Transportation Consultant for the applicant replied that he prepared the transportation study. He stated that if they increase the radius, that would allow the entering vehicles to enter at 15 mph and then they would be able to decrease the deceleration lane, which is standard procedure. Member Craig asked about the bus stop being in the deceleration lane and how would it be worked around. Sheri Wamhoff, Engineering Department replied that this what was typically done in most areas. The bus stop is located in the deceleration lane to get it out of traffic. She stated that the transit is only once an hour and that would not create much of an interruption in traffic flows. Public Comment None. Member Craig asked if the building could get a different paint than the one proposed. She suggested a darker paint to help the architecture of the back of the building. Ms. Straw stated that they could accommodate that request. Planning and Zoning Board Minutes January 21, 1999 Page 2 Project: Horsetooth East Business Park PUD, Second Filing, Final, #43-94C Project Description: Request for a 32,000 square foot mixed -use (business service uses) building on 2.0 acres. The site is on the east side of Automation Way and north of Bighorn Drive in the Horsetooth East Business Park, located at the southwest corner of East Horsetooth Road and Timberline Road. The property is in the E, Employment Zoning District. Recommendation: Approval Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence: Member Craig pulled this item to discuss her concerns regarding the pedestrian connections to the south side of the project. She stated that her concerns were addressed before the meeting by the applicant, but wanted them to be in the record. Steve Olt, City Planner distributed a revised landscape plan to the board. Should the board determine that the revisions that have been made are acceptable, that landscape plan would be recorded as such and staff would also have them make the necessary changes to the site plan. Planner Olt reviewed the changes to the plan to address Member Craig's concerns. He stated that an additional sidewalk had been added along the planting island along the south side of the building that would tie into existing sidewalks that would provide access to the car wash. Member Craig asked if in changing the sidewalk system, would there still be some kind of crossing marks or concrete as stated on the original drawing. Kim Straw, Cityscape Urban Design, representing the applicant stated that they would work to get scored concrete to define it as a pedestrian way. Member Craig asked about the east side private drive and that the original drawing showed a sidewalk along there and the new drawing at final shows it turned into 15 parking spaces. She asked for an explanation of the change. Ms. Straw replied that they wanted to get parking up close to the building.
