NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING
PROJECT: Pinecone P.U.D., The Tower Shoppes, Sonic Drive -In -
Type II (#60-91N)
DATE: Wednesday July 20, 2005
APPLICANT: Dave Lingle, Aller-Lingle Architects, P.C.
CITY PLANNER: Anne Aspen
The owner of the vacant property at 3518 S. Timberline Road requests to
develop this .783 acre site into a Sonic restaurant with drive-in capability. The
applicant proposes a 2498 square foot building with an outdoor patio area.
The property is located on the north side of Horsetooth Rd, east of Timberline
and west of Arctic Fox St in the NC - Neighborhood Commercial District.
The meeting started at about 6:10 pm.
QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS, RESPONSES
1. Question: Does the developer own the entire vacant area?
Answer: Dave and Steve Beard, the owners, are buying
the property for the restaurant from the WW Reynolds
Company, who owns the rest of the land here.
2. Question: There is a significant issue with dust storms
that sandblast the neighboring houses when winds hit the
vacant dirt lots. Will there be any mitigation of those lots
with the development of this one?
Answer: (Anne Aspen): This developer is only responsible
for the property that they are developing on. No mitigation of
the other properties can be required. The fact that this
project will be paving and adding lots of landscaping may
buffer the neighbors somewhat from the dust off the other
lots. The other lots may be developed in the near future too.
Meanwhile, there is a nuisance hotline at the City (see
http://fcgov.com/citymanager/nuisance.php) that can help
you to resolve the current problem.
(Dave Lingle): To address future blowing debris concerns,
Sonic will install trash receptacles with long scoops at all
vehicle exit points.
3. Question: Will there be a traffic signal at Arctic Fox?
Answer: Based on the traffic study that was done for this project, a
traffic signal at Arctic Fox is not warranted by this
development. Depending on how the adjacent vacant parcel
is developed, one could be warranted at that time.
The meeting concluded at about 7:00.
