Member Bell moved to approve Poudre Valley Plaza PUD Final with Staff conditions. Member Davidson seconded the motion. The motion to approve this item passed 7-0. HARMONY SCHOOL SHOPS PUD - PRELIMINARY - #42-89D Member Davidson asked where the entry points would be for Diamond Shamrock. Ted Shepard, Project Planner, replied that the primary access point would be off of Milestone. Drive and another point, which would be limited to a right -in right -out, on northbound Timberline Road. Member Davidson asked if there will be a turn lane off of Harmony Road between Lots 2 and 3. Mr. Shepard replied that. the auxiliary lanes on a state highway acceleration deceleration lane will be done according to the State Highway Access Code and reviewed by the Engineering Department for the amount of paper, width and length as per the design speed for the highway. Member Davidson asked if the left in only is a reality. Mr. Shepard replied that the left in only at the curb cut is approved by the Harmony Corridor Access Control Plan. There is sufficient stacking for the left turn and sufficient gaps to make a left turn and a signalized intersection at County Road 9 which will create some gaps. Member Davidson asked if there will be a possibility of a change in the parking for the eastward entrance to the shopping center for truckers to enter. Mr. Shepard replied that they want the projects to connect and the people in the mobile home park to move into the shopping center without accessing Harmony Road. They have discussed this with the residents of the mobile home park to resolve this issue. Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, had no presentation at this time. There was no citizen input for this item. Planning and Zoning Board Hearing December 18, 1995 Page 14 . Steve Olt, Project Planner, gave the Staff Report. Eldon Ward, Cityscape Urban Design, stated that they have met with representatives of both of the adjacent properties and have coordinated access. There was no citizen input. Member Colton moved to approve Oakridge Business Park 21st Filing (Hampton Inn) Preliminary and Final with the standard development condition as recommended by Staff. Member Strom seconded. The motion passed 7-0. Member Davidson pulled this item because he believed it be appropriate that Staff explain how the applicant met the conditions. Mr. Olt replied that there were three conditions of preliminary approval which were as follows: 1) landscaping provided to accommodate the utilities by increasing the berming along Shields Street and allowed for more shrub planting; 2) a pedestrian circulation study and plan was provided to determine pedestrian circulation externally and. internally, and; 3) an architectural intent was established for all pad sites. Member Davidson commented that when there are conditions placed on a preliminary and then it comes back as final', he believes that it should not be automatically placed on consent. He recalled that at preliminary the question was raised if a pedestrian access could be placed at the corner of Shields and Horsetooth. Tom Kehler, Jim Sell Designs, stated that one primary reasons they did not want to do this was because part of the concept was to screen the parking from the street with buildings. Access points are in numerous locations and if that intersection was opened up, it would create a view into the parking lot. Mr. Olt stated that in talking with the applicant, there will be one auto -related site on the corner which is a drive-thru bank. Mr. Kehler stated that a hardship would not be placed on the pedestrians by not having an access at the corner. He did not see any solution to having any sort of pedestrian access on the corner.
