#5-89,A - NEW NOTE #1 ANNEXATION AND ZONING
#6-89.A - NEW NOTE #2 ANNEXATION AND ZONING
Sherry Albertson -Clark gave a summary of the projects. She noted that staff
recommended approval of the requested annexation and IL zoning district with
a condition that a unified PUD Master Plan be submitted and approved by the
Board prior to any development of the site. She stated that there was an
additional staff memo to address the concerns expressed by the Board at
worksession. It also suggested four options which could be considered by the
Boa rd.
Member Walker asked for a description of surrounding areas.
Ms. Clark used the vicinity map to point out the surrounding areas and the
zoning designation. She pointed out the residential area to the west and the
location of the Poudre River.
Eldon Ward represented the applicant. He stated that the site contained part of
the Poudre River Floodplain. He believed that only half of the property was
developable. The applicant would like some certainty of allowed uses. The
applicant would like to have the option of the IL and IP zone process. It
would respond better to the proposed uses. He noted projects in the area
which did not have to go through the PUD process. He believed the condition
needed further discussion. He said that a letter was sent to the Board which
stated that a Master Plan was a good compromise. After review of the staff
memo, the applicant still was unsure how detailed the condition should remain.
Member Walker asked how the area near the Poudre River might be developed.

Chairperson O'Dell asked if the Board could look
at this at the regularly
scheduled meeting in April.
Mr. Peterson stated yes and that the Board could also
schedule a worksession.
Motion passed 6-1, Mr. Burns in the negative.
Member Walker moved to recommend approval of
the New Note Second
Annexation to City Council. Member Groznik seconded
the motion.
Motion passed 7-0.
Member Groznik moved to recommend approval of
the New Note Second
Zoning of IL to City Council with a PUD condition.
Member Kern seconded
the motion.
Chairperson O'Dell thought the decision was based on
the applicants belief that
the PUD process was too lengthy. She would like the Board to develop
guidelines for the entrances to the City.
Member Groznik stated the applicant had indicated he would probably come
before the Board with a PUD application as development occurs, so Member
Groznik did not believe the PUD condition would burden the developer,
hence his motion.
Member Walker believed the issue was the appearance of the entryway and
there was no other way to review this except a PUD. The Board was restricted
to the recommendation.
Member Edwards said the Board had expressed a desire to develop guidelines
to expedite the matter so the developer would have direction as to how
development along Harmony Road streetscape would occur in the entryway
areas.
Member Kern agreed that the Board desired attractive development in that
area.
Motion passed 6-1, Mr. Burns in the negative.
7-89 A - Koldeway Annexation and Zoning
Member Kern moved to recommend approval to City Council of the Koldeway
Annexation. Member Walker seconded the motion.
Charles Dean, the applicant, stated he asked for BP zoning because he believed
he was constrained with the PUD condition, and that it seems there was no
real criteria under which applicants were judged.
Ms. Clark gave a brief summary. She stated staff recommended approval with
a BP zoning with no PUD condition on the zoning because the BP district only
allows multi -family as uses -by -right. All other uses would develop as a PUD.
