The school is preschool only for daycare situations. In terms of traffic, the secondary access point would be off of Brittany. The outdoor play areas are protected away from the street on the downhill side of the structure. Member Cottier asked how the number of parking spaces was arrived at? Mr. Ellermann stated that 130 parking spaces are planned, which are above and beyond the minimum requirements for the zoning of that area. Approximately 150 to 200 people will occupy the building during a service. According to those ratios he felt that 130 parking spaces are more than adequate. Member O'Dell asked if this was a congregation that was currently meeting elsewhere, and what is the size? Mr. Ellermann professed that the congregation was currently meeting with a size of less than 100 members. Member Cottier moved to approve Provincetowne PUD (Redeemer Lutheran Church), Preliminary and Final. Member O'Dell seconded the motion. The motion to approve passed 7-0. FORT COLLINS TRUCK SALES PUD. PRELIMINARY AND FINAL. Case #11-92 Mr. Ted Shepard gave a brief description of the proposed project recommending approval. Chairman Strom asked Mr. Shepard to give a brief rationale on the approval of the variance. Mr. Shepard replied that the primary hardship was the project was constrained by the lake canal on the north and east, College Avenue and Vine Drive, and would not be able to assemble more than 2 acres, which was one of the criterion listed on the point chart. The project does not meet the requirement of not using College Avenue as an access point, due to only having one area of access into the business off College Avenue. Under the Brush Mobile Home PUD, a median and some consolidated curb cuts were made in order to provide one primary controlled access point by a median. Mr. Jeff Couch, Parsons and Associates, stated he would be glad to answer any questions the Board may have. He proceeded to inform the Board the project was primarily an existing site with two existing buildings and the only modifications are to a median island and a driveway. r P&Z Meeting Minutes April 27, 1992 Page 6 Member Clements -Cooney moved to approve the Fort Collins Truck Sales PUD, Preliminary and Final, with the variance requirement achieving the minimum score of 50 percent on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart. Member O'Dell seconded the motion. Chairman Strom asked that an additional condition be attached regarding the development agreement. Member Clements -Cooney added to her motion to execute the development agreement as stated in the memorandum given to the Board. Member O'Dell accepted and seconded the addition. The motion to approve carried 7-0. POTTS PUD. PRELIMINARY. Case #6-92 Mr. Olt gave a description of the proposed project recommending approval. Member O'Dell inquired if any signage was going to be placed on West Elizabeth Street indicating where the apartments are located. Mr. Olt stated that there was no intention of placing an identification sign for that development. Mr. John Freeman, Architectural One, pointed out that the property in the area was unique in only having 2.3 acres to work with and hemmed in by existing developments. One situation he felt needed work on was the access into the project. One concept reviewed was using an alternative route through the Matador Apartments, but those negotiations failed. A request by the owner of the property was made that these particular apartments suit a higher renters market. The design consists of 2 bedroom units with more floor area, fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and garages. The owner planned to rent to young married couples, married students, or young faculty. There are 22 units proposed for the site which obligates the developer to provide 1-3/4 parking spaces per unit. Total number of required parking spaces for the development comes to 38-1/2 spaces. The developer has provided 39 parking spaces for the site, 10 of which are in garages with 24 foot free space in front of the garage to add one more parking space. A shared parking agreement has been established with C.B. and Potts Restaurant. The agreement adds 5 additional parking spaces in their lot which may constitute an overflow for the development.
