He com- mented staff had done an excellent job of negotiating can this project. He wanted staff to present the project and more formally state why they are recommending the variance on the LDS. #48-87 NORTH COLLEGE PROPERTIES PUD - PRELIMINARY Ted Shepard gave a staff description of the project. He stated staff has isolated two items that are of concern to the Planning and Zoning Board. First, the need for variance for approval based on the fact that the mini- mum of two acres cannot be met since it is beyond the scope of this partic- ular applicant to assemble the parcels to acquire two acres. Second, improvements on the site are taking place including the continuous curb cut that runs the length between Bristlecone and Conifer. Fe stated staff has recommended two conditions of approval; 1) get more intense landscaping on both side property lines as well as in the parking lot as per the zoning code, and 2) that there be no permanent barrier along the future access drive. Member Edwards moved to approve North College Properties PUD - Preliminary with the two conditions as stated by staff. He stated it is a significant matter to grant a variance when the property does not even meet the point chart. Member Kern seconded. Motion passed 6-0. #96-81H HOR.SETOOTH COMMONS TRACT A (GREASE MONKEY) - PRELIMINARY Ted Shepard gave a staff description of the project. He indicated there was an error in the staff memo in condition 2; it was a hold over from August 24, 1987. He stated this information should not be included unless the Board elects to keep it. He commented the project meets condition 2 and it is the basis for staff's recommendation of approval. The applicant's representative, Ed Zdenek, addressed some of the items that were discussed as concerns. First, the concern about buffering along Shields and the residents to the north and west. He stated the concern has been handled by adding a fence on the north side, increased the shrubs in the evergreen landscaping, and increasing the landscaping along Shields Street. Second, adequacy of parking for staff was corrected by adding three additional parking spaces. Third, the hours of operation will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., six days a week. He added the noise will not be a problem since tires will not be changed, therefore, making it a relatively quite operation. Member O'Dell stated the project is a great improvement in the landscaping and site plan. She commented the increased parking and buffering between the residents is acceptable. Member Edwards moved to approve Horsetooth Commons Tract A (Grease Monkey) - Preliminary with condition 1 as recommended by staff. Member O'Dell sec- onded. Motion passed 6-0. i ✓A
