Member Walker spoke of concern about the compromise of the access point onto Prospect. Xotioned carried 7-0. Meeting adjourned 10:50 p.m. Planning and Zoning Board Minutes August 29, 1994 Page 7 Basil Hampdan, Storm Water Utilities gave a brief report concerning storm water issues. He explained L4 water flows Jrtc and through the site and explained how the potential problems will be addressed. He is recommending that the 1988 study for Prospect Road be revised to reflect changed conditions and that curb and gutter be developed to control the flows to the City's detention area at Prospect and Shields, rather than onto the site. Approval would be given on how the drainage system works within the utility plan requirements. Chair Clements stated there are sometimes conflicts at preliminary approval where project land use is before the Board; however, some reviewing departments, such as Storm Water, need more details to accurately evaluate goals and objectives of that department at approval. Mechanisms are in place before a building permit can be issued to the developer. Member Carnes expressed concern of over 30 projects after final approval being delayed over the 60-day allotted period of time. Hopefully that will get more attention in the future. Dick Rutherford, Stewart and Associates, engineer for the project gave a brief report of the project and addressed the two points of access, and safety issues for children. He believed this is an improved access plan. He discussed other issues of the project, specifically the storm water issues. He indicated the developer would work towards meeting all conditions. CITIZEN INPUT. Rob Clay - 704 Ponderosa - Mr. Clay stated he was at the preliminary hearing and was the one who appealed to City Council. He stated the process of resolving issues was very friendly and was satisfied with how traffic issues, building envelop and setbacks and southside drainage easement were addressed, and commended the Board. Rick Gonzales - 2218 Cedarwood - Mr. Gonzales thanked the Board and the City Council for assisting the neighbors for obtaining crossing lights for the students going to Bauder Elementary. CITIZEN INPUT CLOSED. There was discussion between Board and staff regarding site lines at intersections and fence placements. Mr. Blanchard said the setback has been complied to within the plan. Member Cottier moved for approval of Northbrook Patio Homes at Fairbrocks PUD - Final, /7-94B, with conditions as stated by staff. Planning and Zoning Board Minutes August 29, 1994 Page 6 Member Fontane highly praised the collaboration efforts of this project, specifically considering the history of opposition to proposals for this site by the neighborhoods, and the ultimate resolution arrived at was rewarding to see. This effort would be an example to the community how cooperation between developer and neighbors produces a high quality project. Member Strom agreed and stated what a fine example the project has been to include mixed land uses on an infill site, and he looked forward to seeing the final. Member Carnes this could be a "show case" of what can happen in a unique area in our community, saving energy and reducing congestion, and an area to be utilized by the surrounding neighborhood. Member Bell commented that it is a positive effort but expressed concern about the magnitude of traffic issues. She requested that a community -wide discussion forum be looked into for appropriate discussion and input on these ideas/issues. Vice -Chair Cottier agreed with the positive reactions of the Board and congratulations were extended to the developer and neighborhoods. She would like staff to document this process hoping to replicate it in other areas of future development within the community. Motion carried 6-0, with four conditions, and chair Clements abstaining for conflict of interest. ITEM 17 NORTHBROO1 PATIO HOMES AT FAIRBROOKE PUD - FINAL Bob Blanchard, Chief Planner, read the staff report. He said that the preliminary was approved in March 1994, with access only on Hampshire Road and a request for staff to review the fencing issue. In April it was appealed to Council. The hearing was held in May where the Council upheld the Planning and Zoning Board decision with one modification (that access on Prospect be added back into the plan). At this time, the main issue is storm water drainage how it is conveyed through and around the project. The issues are resolved but are not reflected in the staff report. A letter from Mr. Drivers was submitted to the Planning and Zoning Board requesting that a fence be placed on the south side of the project. Staff recommended approval with standard conditions. Member Walker asked for the rationale used for the access on Prospect. Mr. Blanchard responded that providing a second access would eliminate some pedestrian/automobile conflict that would occur on Hampshire. PLANNING i ZONING BOARD MEETING MINUTES August 290, 1994 Gerry Horak, Council Liaison Ron Phillips, Staff Support Liaison The August 29, 1994, meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board was called to order at 6:35 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall West, 300 Laporte Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado. Roll call was answered by: Chair Clements, and Members Bell, Carnes, Cottier, Fontane, Strom, and Walker. Staff Members Present: Eckman, Ensdorff, Hamdan, Herzig, Olt, Phillips, and worden. Mr. Phillips read the agenda review. AGENDA REVIEN Item 13, Platinum Auto Brokers PIID, Final, #36-94. Item 16. Spring Creek village PUD, Preliminary, #2-87N. Item 17, Northbrook Patio Homes at Fairbrooke PUD, Final,#7-94B. DISCUSSION AGENDA: ITEM 13. PLATINUM AUTO BROKERS. PUP. FINAL. #36-94. Chair Clements called for a motion of the reconsideration of Item 13. Member Bell moved to reconsider Platinum Auto Brokers, PUD. Member Cottier seconded the notion. Mr. Eckman said, "At this point, the Board needs to have some discussion among members if you wish to reconsider, before a vote is taken. All it takes is a simple majority to pass the motion; then, if the motion is passed, the Board could consider the main motion which is whether to approve or deny, or approve with conditions, the Platinum Auto Brokers PUD at this meeting, or the Board could consider to postpone the main motion until the next regular meeting, giving perhaps more time to study various alternatives. It will require two motions." There was discussion among Board members at this time concerning the direction to have a record of the issues for reconsideration. Member Cottier said rezoning and design standards need to come up to a higher standard and she proposed a compromise to be restricted to this particular business only, Platinum Auto Brokers. The next change of use on this site would allow for improvements.
