WOODS, retail building center DATE: July 20, 1994 APPLICANT: PAYLESS CASHWAYS, INC. CONSULTANT: Jim Sell, Jim Sell Design, Inc. PLANNER: Steve Olt The meeting began with a description of the proposed project. The site is located across the street from the Hickory House Restaurant and near the corner of Highway 287 and Skyway Drive. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS 1. What kind of material is this building made of? RESPONSE: Tilt -up masonry units for what we call the "box" of the building which is the main, big building. Then the courtyard part of the structure is siding. 2. Our biggest concern as nearby residents in this area is the impact this project will have on Skyway Drive. We do not want an entrance to this store from Skyway. The hill right there gets very slick and dangerous in the winter months. The county puts lots of sand on it and automobiles seem to slide to the traffic light because of it. 3. Within five minutes of our homes we can shop at Builder's Square or UBC and within fifteen minutes we can shop at Sutherlands down on College Avenue. We do not need another store of this kind in this part of town. 281 North College Avenue • P.O.

What are the stores working hours and will there be semi -trucks loading and unloading and coming in off of Skyway Drive? RESPONSE: The store hours are 7:30 am to 8:00 pm, Monday through Friday and typical summer hours will be 7:30 am to 9:00 pm. Deliveries start at approximately 8:00 am and they stop around 5:00 pm. There should not be any overnight parking in our outside parking lot of semi -trailer trucks. 5. Will there be a fence around the store? Our courtyard area buildings will be built subterranean style, with part of the structure built into the hillside and approximately eight feet of the building above the ground. The lighting that we have along the inside of the courtyard area will be installed on the buildings and made to shine downward into the compound. The parking lot area in the front of the store off Hwy 287 will have the required foot candles needed to light a parking lot. 6. The front part of this proposed site is in a flood plain area, so what will happen to the retention pond? RESPONSE: It will be kept in place, however there will be less standing water than there is now. Storm Drainage Department of the City will design this area for a 100 year flood. The whole existing irrigation and drainage system will be reviewed for this area. 7. We're all County residents out here. Will the City police patrol Skyway Drive and the area surrounding the proposed site if this is built? RESPONSE: Yes. 8. This proposed site has lots of wildlife living on it. Three bald eagles have been seen living here along with numerous prairie dogs, hawks, etc. Has the resident wildlife on this land been taken into account and would the present owner of this property even remotely be interested in keeping this area an open wildlife area? RESPONSE: Natural Resources does not have any data on this particular area, however they will be involved in this process and it will be reviewed. 9. Who are most of your customers? Are they wholesale or mainly retail? RESPONSE: It's about fifty - fifty. 10. The traffic impact on Skyway Drive is of utmost concern to us. RESPONSE: A traffic study will be submitted. And the County will also be involved will the review of this proposed building site. 0 0 Neighborhood Meeting Minutes Page 3 July 20, 1994 11.

RESPONSE: This store is one of our proto-types and we are proud of the appearance of it and it will be kept looking nice. 12. Stanley Scott, one of the nearby residents, submitted a letter he had typed up to the City and would like it attached to the minutes.
