HomeMy WebLinkAboutTIMBERLINE CENTER REZONING - FIRST READING - 41-05 - REPORTS - RECOMMENDATION/REPORTA. We would like to begin construction in the Fall of 2006. 14. What is planned for the vacant l9riflo"the south? A. This land is owned by Mr. Brock Chapman and is zoned Employment. 15. The most westerly building concerns me. How far away is this building from Parkwood East? A. This building would be 20 feet from the west property line. Then, the railroad right-of-way at this point Is 165 feet wide. Then, between the railroad right-of-way and Parkwood. East.is a stormwater detention pond that is not uniform in width. This pond is wider to the south and then tapers down in width as it proceeds'north'.",-. 16. Will the carwash be a self -serve facility open 24-hours? A. No, it will be a full -serve facility like' Ritchies; on. South College Avenue and not open on a 24-hour basis. 17. 1 am concerned about reliance on just deciduous shade trees for screening this project from the neighborhood-. , Eveigrb6h trees will be needed as well for screening in the winter. A. We agree and will provide evergreentreevto"helpscrben-th6-,min*F",? storage. 18. Is this the site of the old pipdplant that Used -to--make-all-the noise at night? A. Yes. The pipe plant moved to Utah. 4 i A. The site is generally flat and slopes from west to east. The stonnwater detention pond is on the low end and located on the east side of the site. We do not plan on any major cuts or fills or raising of the site so the grade that you see there today is very close to the finished grade for the buildings. 8. Will there be a new traffic signal atyour Timberline"Road access drive? A. No, this intersection is planned to feature three-quarter turning movements. That is, there will be right-in,:right-out and -left -in allowed, but no left -out turns. +. 9. Will there be a traffic signal at Nancy Gray Avenue? .:. . A. Yes, Nancy Gray will be signalized as•it.is!classified as a collector street on the east side of Timberline in Sidehill subdivision, and is needed for the new Police Services building.on the,wesbside:.:.- j i ; 10. 1 am concerned about partial improvements to.Timberline Road. Will it swing in and out from two-lane to four -lane? It is hazardous to narrow down an arterial street to two-lane traffic. A. Timberline Road will be widened to four lanes all the way to Prospect Road. 11. Have you prepared a traffic study? I am curious about how much traffic this project will be adding to Timberline Road. A. The Transportation Impact Analysis has not been prepared yet. It will be available to the public as soon as we submit'it•to the Current Planning Department. _ 12. 1 am concerned about all these gas:stations-going.in:- How•many do, we need? We already have one in Rigden Farm and one at Prospect and Timberline. I have the same.concem1withiquick4ubes; carwashes and. — convenience stores. Why do we continue to -duplicate these services 'so . dose to each other? How many can the neighborhood support? It seems that this project will generate an excessive amount of these types of businesses. A. Our market analysis tells us that theTimbr3rline Road corridorwill'cary a' sufficient number of trips to support these uses. Our site is roughly three- quarters of a mile away from the two existing gas stations that you mentioned. 13. What is your construction schedule? 3 QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS What are the sizes of the buildings? A. One building is one-story in height and contains 7,200 square feet. We have a two-story building that contains 14,500 square feet. Other buildings range from 3,500 to 4,100 square feet. Since some of the end - users are not known at this time, these sizes are estimates. 2. 1 am concerned about the appearance of the project as viewed from Timberline Road. What is planned for the area along Timberline? A. This area will be primarily turf and contain the stormwater detention pond. In addition, between the sidewalk and curb, there will be�a row of shade trees. The buildings along Timberline will feature foundation shrubs. 3. 1 live in Parkwood East and am concerned about the lighting associated with the enclosed mini -storage. What can you tell me about security lighting in this area of the plan? uo A. We have not prepared the Lighting Plan_a&of.•yet_but,itiwill) beta part of the submittal package to the City:,:ir;v-3 j 4. Would you consider building up a parapet screen wall on your western- most building in order to shield the;security, lighti4g1rom.the:.; c _ neighborhood?

What will be the exterior building,materialsand colorbf:the mini -storage facility? We are concerned about the quality of'the aesthetics as seen from Parkwood East. A. The exterior will be of higher -quality than the interior, buildings: -We - anticipate that the exterior materials will be a combination of masonry and stucco to match the other buildings in the center.' 7. What about grading? As viewed from the neighborhood, what is the site elevation? Sometimes mini -storage facilities are raised up so there will be no flooding. Will we be looking up at the mini -storage facility? P4 NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING SUMMARY PROJECT: Timberline Center Commercial Project DATE: September 12, 2005 . .

The property is currently zoned.Transition and. {the applicants;will request placement Into the IndustrialzoFne;;,,U 1."'N , _ _.. ::: __: �1,41i1• Vou {;/rn � °f Uflf As proposed, the project includes a mix,ofruses.including.conveence shopping center, retail stores, standard, fast food and drive-thru restaurant, offices, retail stores with vehide servicing, vehicle minor repair and service establishments, and enclosed mini -storage. There would be multiple buildings that are one and two -stories in height. These buildings would be designed in a similar architectural style with regard to building materials, rooflines and color scheme. Timberline Road is scheduled to receive major improvements along the front of the Timberline Center property. With the new improvements, Timberline Road will receive a center median with a left -in entrance into the project. The project will also have a right -turn into the project and a right-tum exiting the project onto Timberline Road. Primary vehicular access to the site is from Timberline Road. Alternate access is from Nancy Gray Road onto Sagebrush Drive (scheduled to be renamed to Joseph Allen Drive). This project will create a new road connecting Timberline Road to Sagebrush Road called Bear Mountain Drive. Unless otherwise noted, all responses are from the applicant or consulting team. . . , I, . being expanded to a four -lane arterial street from Drake Road to the north edge of the Timberline Center property. Ultimately Timberline Road is planned to be a slx4ane arterial all the way to Prospect Road. Side Hill Residential Subdivision is currently being built on the east side of Timberline Road, and a IQng Soopers grocery store was recently completed just south of Side Hill. The CRYs proposed Police Service Center will be constructed just south of the Timberline Center property in 2006. A thriving employment center already exists further south on Timberline including major employers, small businesses and office buildings. The uses planned for Timberline Center are primarily business service uses that will support the existing and planned residential areas, as well as the existing employment center on Timberline Road. The neighborhood has and is continuing to`chaiige siricetfiis`site°was place In ' the T District. The northeast part of the site is currently zoned Industrial. In order to be consistent, we believe that rezoning to the I District would be the most appropriate zoning.

These improvements include right-of-way dedication: for.the.widening of..Timberline Road: 'In addition, the two owners have coordinated with the City :diuldcation of theloeal street intersection (Bear Mountain Drive) and the restriction on turnin&moveaients.at :this .intmection. 'Through ; collaboration with the City, this intersection will be designed with a median that will restrict turning movements to "thrx-quarter" only. This means there.will' be right-inhight-out/leR-in tuning movements but no left -out turns allowed.
