FORT COLLINS SALAD COMPANY PUD AT THE PAVILION -FINAL -Case #50-85B
Member O'Dell stated that she had concerns with development of the pads and facing the back
of the building into the Center. She stated that in this case, as was with the Black Eye Pea
Restaurant, she understood why the applicant wanted it that way when most of the traffic is
access from College Avenue and that they would want the signs and the entrance in the interest
of the building on College Avenue. But in this case, when JFK Parkway is built, a lot of people
will access the Center from the east side, where no signs for this building would be seen. She
asked if any consideration had been given to adding some interest and moving one of the signs
further back onto the building so it would be part of the Center rather than just a strip of
restaurants on College Avenue.
Ted Shepard, project planner, asked Member O'Dell if she had concerns with the view from
Troutman.
Member O'Dell stated that she had concerns with the view from Lionel PlayWorld.
Mr. Shepard stated that staff had struggled with this. He stated that when there is a pad site,
a building is basically designed with four fronts. The service side has to be on one of the
fronts. What the applicant tried to accomplish was screening the trash enclosure, the
transformer, and minimiz he impact as much as possible. He stated that Member O'Dell was
correct in that there does have to be one service side and that was the least objectionable
alternative with putting it on the east side. He stated that they assumed there was more traffic
on College Avenue than on the internal circulation drive for the shopping center.
Member O'Dell stated that it appeared the landscaping was adequate in the back and it would
be screened but she believed there could be innovative ways to deal with this so a lot of backs
of buildings would be seen.
Mr. Shepard stated that pad sites were very popular and would be coming in in the future. He
stated that staff should take a good look on how to design the four fronts.
Member Walker moved to approve Fort Collins Salad Company PUD at The Pavilion Final.
Member O'Dell seconded the motion. The motion to approve carried 7-0.
PEDERSEN TOYOTA VOLVO SAAB PUD -PRELIMINARY AND FINAL -Case #26-91
Kirsten Whetstone gave a description of the proposed project. She stated that the project scored
58% on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial point chart. She stated that there was no
neighborhood meeting for this project because South College Avenue to Prospect Road has been
defined as a community regional shopping center and an auto use had been deemed compatible
with the surrounding area. She briefly discussed the proposed landscaping, building materials,
signage package.
