South Santa Fe Drive Mr. McBrayer introduced Mr. Ken Conyers of the State Highway Department and asked Mr. Conyers to make the presentation regarding improvement of the South Santa Fe Drive corridor. Mr. Conyers stated that Environmental Assessment reports are or will soon be avialable on the improvements proposed on South Santa Fe Drive at West Dartmouth Avenue, and at the West Quincy/West Oxford intersections. Mr. Conyers gave a slide presentation on improvements that are underway along the Santa Fe Drive corridor, and on other thoroughfares, which improvements are financed by the Interstate Fund Transfer process. Mr. Conyers stated that the bulk of the Interstate Transfer money is being used in the southwest quadrant on improvement projects. At the time that I-470 was withdrawn from the interstate system, the funding for these improvements was taken out of the interstate funding and put into the interstate transfer fund. Eighteen million dollars of the interstate transfer fund money went to complete the 16th Street Mall in Denver. -2- Mr J!lionyers then addressed improvements in Denver and Littleton along So t1911P Santa Fe Drive. Improvements that are proposed within the Engle- wood area are an urban interchange at Belleview and Santa Fe Drive, closure of the Quincy/Santa Fe Drive interchange, improvement of the intersection at Oxford and Santa Fe Drive, and improvement of the inter- section at Dartmouth and Santa Fe Drive. Improvements will also be done at U.S. 285 and Santa Fe Drive to eliminate the bottleneck of westbound traffic on U.S. 285 over the Platte River. Mr. Conyers further discussed the funding for the road improvement pro- jects, and noted that C-470 receives 51 % of the funding to Colorado, and the Santa Fe corridor will receive 25 % of the funding. Mr. Conyers stated that the Federal/State match on funds is 85 %/15 %. Mr. Conyers further discussed the funding for the Highway projects, noting that C-470 has a $19,000,000 shortfall at the present time. Mr. Conyers discussed the urban interchange proposed at Evans and South Santa Fe Drive. Mr. Conyers stated that South Santa Fe Drive is proposed to be six lanes south of Evans Avenue, and eight lanes between West Mississippi and West Evans Avenues. Mr. Carson asked what improvements are proposed at the Oxford intersection. Mr. Conyers stated that the improvements include separation of the rail- road tracks from the Oxford roadway; there will not be an interchange con- structed, but there would be an improved intersection; turn lanes on South Sa~ Fe Drive would be provided. Mr. Conyers stated that the Tufts Avenue intersection with South Santa Fe Drive will be closed. In discussing the financial outlook for the highway improvement projects, Mr. Conyers stated that at the present rate of funding, the Department will run out of money for the improvements within 3.5 years. They are putting together a proposed budget at this time to take to Washington D.C. in hopes of receiving additional funding. Mr. Conyers stated that this shortfall of funds would aff~ct the projects scheduled for Dartmouth, Quincy and Oxford on South Santq Fe Drive. Mr. Tanguma asked if any study had been done on the impact the street closures, such as the Tufts/Santa Fe Drive and Quincy/Santa Fe Drive intersections, would have on other streets. Mr. Conyers stated that he has worked and is continuing to work with Public Works Director Waggoner and with the City of Sheridan regarding the impact of the street closures. Mr. Tanguma stated that with the closure of two inter- sections, it would seem to place a greater traffic burden on Oxford Avenue. Mr. Conyers stated that they will continue to work with the municipalities to channel the traffic through the Oxford/Santa Fe Drive intersection. Mr. McBrayer asked why it is felt that the urban interchanges are better than the diamond or clover-leaf interchanges. Mr. Conyers stated that t ~rban interchange moves traffic through the intersections better, no~:illg that one signal can handle the turning movements for vehicles seeking access to the elevated system, whereas with the conventional intersection it requires two signals and results in a slowing of traffic. Neither does the urban interchange require as much right-of-way as the diamond or clover-leaf interchange. -3- Mrs. Becker discussed her concerns with the proposed urban interchange and the problem with icing during the winter months. Mr. Conyers stated that the Colorado Boulevard/I-25 intersection is a modified urban design. He stated that the areas below the ramps will not be totally open, but will have earth fill and retaining walls; there will still be problems with icing, however, and this will be a maintenance responsibility to keep the ramps sanded and in condition to move traffic. Mr. McBrayer stated that members of the audience may have some questions of Mr. Conyers, and opened the meeting to questions. A gentleman in the audience questioned the turning movements Mr. Conyers had described using the urban interchange. Mr. Conyers drew the turning movements out for the audience to view, pointing out there is no conflict in the turning movements, and that the only light would be at the ramp intersections with the elevated street. A lady in the audience expressed concern that Oxford Avenue cannot handle the increased traffic that will result from the closure of the Quincy and Tufts intersections. Mrs. Barbara Laube asked for definition of "improvements" in relation to the Dartmouth Avenue intersection. Mr. Conyers stated that there will be increased storage for left-turning movements. Mrs. Laube asked if there will be a pedestrian crossing. Mr. Conyers stated that they do propose pedestrian crossings. Mr. Venard asked how far the six lane improvement at Evans Avenue extends south. Mr. Conyers stated that South Santa Fe Drive will be six lanes south to Church Street in Littleton. Improvement to Santa Fe Drive south of Littleton in the Blakeland area was discussed. Mr. Becker discussed a very dangerous intersection of C-470 and Santa Fe Drive, and asked what improvements are proposed there.· Mr. Conyers suggeste9. that the District Engineer for that particular high- way district should be contacted. "' Mrs. Laube asked what time frame is proposed for the improvements at Dartmouth Avenue. Mr. Conyers stated that the time frame is dependent on the receipt of the funding; the first priority is to complete the Evans Avenue interchange, and then improvements at Hampden Avenue and Belleview Avenue. Dartmouth and Oxford improvements would follow. Mr. McBrayer expressed the appreciation of the Co~ission for Mr. Conyer's attendance and presentation. IV. SUBDIVISION PLAT Quincy Haven CASE 1125-84 Mr. McBrayer asked for a motion to open the Public Hearing. Magnuson moved: Becker seconded: The Public Hearing on Case 1125-84 be opened. AYES: Magnuson, McBrayer, Stoel, Tanguma, Venard, Barbre, Becker, Carson NAYS: None • -4- ABSENT: Allen The motion carried. Mr. McBrayer asked for verification of notification of the Public Hearing. The secretary presented the Chairman with copies of certified letters which were sent to all property owners adjoining the proposed subdivision. Mr. McBrayer reviewed the procedure which would be followed in conduct of the Public Hearing, and the course of action open to the Connnission. He asked that anyone wishing to address the Commission come to the podium and be sworn in. Mr. McBrayer stated that Commission members were sent a staff report prior to the meeting, and asked that this staff report be made a part of the record of the Hearing. The width of the roadway and the impact this may have on emergency equip- ment was discussed. Mr. McBrayer suggested that one of the conditions should be that this private roadway be designated as a Fire Lane for the entire length, and that no parking be permitted in the roadway. Mr. Tanguma noted that two of the lots are cited as being below lot area, and asked what the minimum lot area is in this zone. Mrs. Romans stated that 6,000 sq. ft. is the minimum lot area, and that she felt possibly some of the lots could be redrawn to give the minimum lot area to every lot in the subdivision. Mr. McBrayer noted on Page 4 of the staff report, Building & Safety in- dicates that one fire hydrant must be supplied, while the Fire Depart- ment requires two fire hydrants. Mr. McBrayer asked if the staff had any further information to add at this point. Ms. King stated that an additional easement has been requested by Mountain Bell to provide service to the Subdivision. Secondly, the Utilities Depart- ment is concerned t~at actual design of the water and sewer line location has not been submi~ted; Ms. King stated that the staff suggests that sub- mission of the water and sewer line location be made Condition #5 as part of the approval, and that Condition #6 be that a five foot easement on the east 148.76' of Lot 3, Block 2, is added to the Plat. A seventh condition would be that the street be designated as a Fire Lane. Mr. McBrayer asked that this all be made part of tlie record and conditions for approval. He suggested that Condition #2 should be separated, and that Condition 112 read: "The roadway shall be one-way", and that Condition #7 read that: "The roadway shall be designated as a Fire Lane, and on-street parking shall be prohibited." Mr. McBrayer asked if the applicant was present, and if he would make his presentation • Mr. Doug Riley, 2655 A South Xanadu Way, Aurora, was sworn in, and stated that he is president of Pinetone Properties, owner of the property. Mr. Riley stated that he has had extensive meetings with the City staff re- garding the design of the proposed subdivision plat. Mr. Riley stated that there are a couple items they want to discuss further with City staff, one being the matter of the fire hydrants with the Fire Depart- -5- ment. Mr. Riley stated that this is a small subdivision, and they want to keep it economically feasible for them, and for prospective home purchasers. The inclusion of sidewalks on one side of the private road- way was an issue that Mr. Riley wanted to discuss further, also. He pointed out that this is a "loop road", and many such small areas do not have curb, gutters, or sidewalks. He would like to discuss this with the Engineering Department to determine if it would be possible to delete the construction of a sidewalk. He stated that they had planned ' to have the "rolled curb" along both sides of the roadway. He stated that if they have to include sidewalks, they would "have to re-evaluate the project." Mr. Riley stated that they have done all the work on the utility design, and emphasized that it is critical to the developers that the project be economically feasible. Mr. McBrayer suggested that Condition #4 be reworded to state that the "Fire hydrant(s) shall be located to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief." Mrs. Becker asked if the developer planned to construct homes that would be of sufficient size to accommodate a family with children. Mr. Riley stated that these would be smaller single-family homes, and he would anticipate that first-home buyers would be the prime purchasers; possibly some retired couples would be interested in them. The homes would be two- bedroom, with approximately 900 to 1,100 square feet. Mrs. Becker stated that if children will be living in this development sidewalks must be included, because the children need some place to walk on their way to school; she noted other areas of town where there are no sidewalks, and that the children have to walk in the street, which is a very unsafe factor for anyone. Mr. Riley pointed out that this will not be a two-way public street, and felt that this should be taken into con- sideration by the Commission. Mr. McBrayer asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor of the proposed subdivision. Tom Townsend ... 699 East Tufts -w,as sworn in, and stated that he is in favor of the Subdivision Plat. Mr. Townsend testified that he is acting as Mr. Riley's agent; he has reviewed the proposed Subdivision Plat, and is of the opinion that the Plat is in order. Mr. Townsend stated that in discussions with Fire Chief Broman, one hydrant on the northwest corner was considered, and this is all that was wanted; the engineer who drafted the plat included a second h)W:lrant. Mr. Townsend stated that he feels the proposed subdivision and development is a practical use of land which was annexed to the City in 1955, and noted that there have been several problems with potential development of the property. He is of the opinion this will be an asset to the City, and will add to the housing stock of the City. Mr. Townsend stated that he did not see a great necessity for sidewalk along the private roadway, and noted that there is V-gutter on each side of the roadway. He pointed out that there would be insufficient property on the west to put in a complete sidewalk. Mr. McBrayer asked if anyone else in the audience wished to speak in favor of the subdivision. No one else spoke in favor. Mr. McBrayer then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the subdivision. -6 - Mr. George Stampados 4325 South Lipan Street -was sworn in. Mr. Stampados stated that he did not want to speak in opposition, but to ask questions. He asked if the development would be single-family homes. If the roadway within the development is a private road, will this be maintained by an association of the subdivision owners. Mr. McBrayer stated that the development is for single-family homes, and the private roadway would have to be maintained by the property owners adjoining the private road. Mr. Stampados asked where guests would park. He noted that it appears there would be little driveway area, and if on-street parking is re- stricted, this leaves no guest parking area. Mr. Stampados also asked what is proposed in the way of street lighting. Mr. Stampados stated that the utility lines which serve his area now are "dangerously" low, and that he can nearly touch the wire by just reaching up. He asked if the utility lines could be placed underground. Mr. McBrayer suggested that Mr. Stampados should call Public Service Company about the low wire. Mr. Stampados stated that he has contacted Public Service, and it was suggested that the homeowners pay to have another pole installed. He stated that a 240 foot span between poles is too long. Mr. Mervin Doane 1201 West Radcliff -was sworn in, and asked about the drainge of storm waters from this development; in which direction will the waters flow. Mr. McBrayer asked if Mr. Riley or Mr. Townsend wanted to respond to the questions thus far posed. Mr. Townsend stated that regarding drainage, there is a 30" storm sewer line in Quincy Avenue; there is a catch basin on the west side of the private roadway, where the storm runoff will collect, and then be piped to tie into the storw sewer line in Quincy. ,. Mr. McBrayer asked about the provision of guest parking. Mr. 'Townsend stated that the elimination of all on-street parking does create problems for guest parking; the Fire Department had suggested elimination of parking on only one side of the private roadway, but the Engineering Department suggests elimination of all on-street parking. Mr. McBrayer suggested that possibly one area of four or five spaces coul~ be designated as guest parking only. Mr. Townsend stated that he felt this would be satisfactory to the developers if this could be done. Mr. McBrayer ask ed that this be addressed on the Final Plat. Mr. McBrayer asked about street lighting. Mr. Townsend stated that there are no plans for street lighting at this time. Mr. McBrayer suggested that this issue also be addressed on the Final Plat. Mr. McBrayer asked if anyone else in the audience wished to speak. Joe Hoener 1241 West Radcliff -was sworn in, and posed questions for the developer. He wanted to know where they got easements from the adjacent property owners. Does the developer plan to install privacy -7- fences between the properties. Is the developer aware of the rodent problem the neighbors have had with the subject property. Ed Dillon 1145 West Quincy -was sworn in, and asked the price range of the homes to be built, will they fit into the community, or would they be "inferior" quality; will the applicant build the homes himself, or will someone else do the actual development; what types of homes are proposed --single-family or multi-family. Mr. Dillon stated that he did not want to see any type of multi-family development across the street from his home. Mr. McBrayer stated that the issue before the Commission is the physical division of the land, not the type of homes that may be built on the site. He asked if anyone else had comments. Mr. Riley stated that the easement he negotiated with adjoining property owners is on the west side of the property. Regarding the fencing question, if there are fences, they will be whatever the individual property owner wants to erect; he does not plan to construct fencing around and between each lot. He stated that he was not aware of the rodent problem. He stated that he has spent $5,000 to $6,000 tearing down old buildings on the site, and could get pest control companies out there to get rid of the rats. Mr. Riley stated that the cost of the project dictates that the development will be "nice" dwelling units, but that you cannot screen buyers interested in locating in this area. Mr. McBrayer pointed out that this is zoned R-1-C, and suggested that Mr. Dillon might want to obtain a copy of the R-1-C Zone District regula- tions from the Planning Department. Mrs. Marianne Hoener 1241 West Radcliff Avenue -was sworn in, and stated that if Mr. Riley was not aware of the rodent problem, he could check with the -~ity and with Tri-County Health; both agencies have received many ~alls in the last 1-1/2 years regarding the rodents on this site. Mr. McBrayer asked if anyone else wished to address the Commission. There was no one who wished to address the Commission. Carson moved: Stoel seconded: The Public Hearing be closed. AYES: McBrayer, Stoel, Tanguma, Venard, Barbre, Becker, Carson, Magnuson NAYS: None ABSENT: Allen The motion carried. Discussion ensued. Condition #8 will read: Developer is to address the matter of street lighting; Condition #9 will read: Guest parking will be provided by the developer. Mr. McBrayer asked about the drainage plan. Mrs. Romans stated that the drainage plan has been submitted, and the Engineering Department has not stated that there is any problem with the drainage as shown. -8- Becker moved: Stoel & Venard seconded: The Planning Commission approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plat of Quincy Haven Subdivision, with the following conditions: 1. The Plat shall show that the roadway is privately owned and shall be maintained by the adjacent property owners. 2. The private roadway shall be one-way. 3. A sidewalk shall be designated on one side of the private roadway. 4. Fire hydrant(s) shall be located to the satisfaction of the Fire Chief. 5. Water and sewer line location shall be shown on the Final Plat. 6. A five foot easement on the east 148.76' of Lot 3, Block 2, be shown on the Plat for utility purposes. 7. The private roadway shall be designated as a Fire Lane, and on- street parking shall be prohibited. 8. Street lighting is to be addressed on the Final Plat. 9. Guest parking shall be provided by the developer, the location of which shall be shown on the Final Plat. Mrs. Becker stated that she wanted to emphasize the need for sidewalks on at least one side of the private roadway. Mr. McBrayer stated that he felt the proposed subdivision will clear the way for development of this area, and will solve the rodent problems the neighbors have had with the vacant property; this will cure an "eye- sore" in the neighborhood, and he is in favor of seeing this property developed. ,· Mrs. Becker stated that she felt the neighbors will find that this is an appropriate development, and it will clean up a problem area. The pro- posed development will bring in new housing to the City. Mr. McBrayer suggested that if the developer so desires, he might want to investigate "decorative street lighting", or in~orporating lighting along the roadway by the mailboxes, etc. The vote on the motion was called: AYES: Stoel, Tanguma, Venard, Barbre, Becker, Carson, Magnuson, McBrayer NAYS: None ABSENT: Allen The motion carried. Mrs. Romans stated that the applicant will prepare a Final Plat incor- porating the suggestions and conditions of the Commission, and will be back before th e Commission for approval of the Final Plat. Mr. McBrayer asked that all the adjoining property owners be notified of the date this matter will be before the Commission again. V. SUBDIVISION WAIVER Jay Hamburg, Applicant -9- CASE #26-84 Mr. McBrayer stated that this request is for a waiver to the Subdivision Regulations. Mr. McBrayer asked if the staff wished to make a presentation on this matter. It was noted that the applicant was not in attendance. Brief discussion ensued, and it was determined that an attempt would be made to reach the applicant. * * * * * A recess of the Commission was called at 8:50 P. M. The meeting reconvened at 8:55 P. M. PRESENT: Tanguma, Venard, Barbre, Becker, Carson, Magnuson, McBrayer, Stoel ABSENT: Allen * * * * * Mr. McBrayer suggested that Cases #26-84 and #27-84 be tabled inasmuch as the applicant is not present. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff has gotten in touch with the applicant, who stated that he was not notified of the meeting, but he will be here within a short time. VI. USE NOT MENTIONED. Gerontology Center Duncan Elementary School CASE #29-84 Mr. McBrayer stated that this case deals with the proposed use of the vacant Duncan Eleme~tary School as a gerontology center operated by Swedish Medical Center. He asked if the Commission had any questions regarding the staff report. Mrs. Becker asked if the parking that is available would be sufficient for the new gerontology center and the use of the grounds. Mrs. Romans stated that the parking for the school use has been on-street. Mrs. Romans pointed out that Mr. Klever of Swedish Med:i.cal Center is present, and could answer specific questions. Mrs. Becker asked who would be responsible for care of the grounds. Mrs. Romans stated that the City will continue to be responsible for the grounds maintenance, and will continue to lease the grounds from the School District for use as park space. Mrs. Romans stated that the City and School District are renegotiating an agreement addressing the use and maintenance of the grounds. At the present time, there are two agreements between the City and School District, one of which covers the grounds, and the other pertains to both the use of the building and the grounds. Mr. McBrayer asked if the applicant would like to make a presentation. -10- Mr. Jim Phillippe of the School Administration stated that the Board of Education is asking the Planning Commission to consider the use of the vacant Duncan Elementary School as a gerontology center to be operated by Swedish Medical Center. This is a program which is geared to be of assistance to the senior citizens in Englewood. The School Board and administration feel that the proposed gerontology center is a good use of the vacant building, will provide services to a segment of the Engle- wood population, and will not be offensive to the neighbors in the area~ City Attorney Olsen asked if the School Board had taken any action on the redraft of the Agreement. Mr. Phillippe said that the Agreement was con- sidered, and basically approved. Mr. Olsen pointed out that this Agree- ment also calls for the public use of two restrooms with exterior access. Mr. Phillippe agreed. Mr. Phillippe stated that the Agreement does have a one-year termination notice. Mr. Olsen stated that this is a reciprocal right. Discussion ensued. Carson moved: Magnuson & Stoel seconded: The Planning Commission approve the use of the vacant Duncan Elementary School by Swedish Medical Center as a Gerontology Center. AYES: Venard, Barbre, Becker, Carson, Magnuson, McBrayer, Stoel, Tanguma NAYS: None ABSENT: Allen The motion carried. VII. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRA11. The Commission discussed the issue of the Capital Improvement Program. Carson moved: Magnuson seconded:,. The City Manager be notified that the Commission recommends that the existing Capital Improvement Program be implemented in 1985. Further discussion ensued. Mrs. Becker stated that she has researched the information submitted to the Commission, and that the Commission recommendation does have influence on the final pi;ojects which are funded; she stated that she is of the opinion that consideration of the requests by the Commission is of value. Mr. Stoel pointed out that with the time frame and financial situation, there is nothing that can be done for new projects in 1985. Mr. McBrayer stated that he feels the Goals program that the Commission has adopted is productive, and a way to "make things happen"; he stated that the Commission does know what the priority of the City Council is on Capital Improvement funding at this time, however. Mr. Venard asked at what point in time would some of the projects the Commission is working on be submitted for consideration by the Council. He suggested that a letter stating some of the projects the Commission -11- is considering be submitted to the City Council. Mr. McBrayer stated that the City Council is in possession of the Goals and Work Program of the Commission, which was given to City Council at the Commission/Council dinner meeting. Mrs. Becker suggested that the Commission should work toward having the projects ready for submission at the time of the budget preparation process in 1985. Brief discussion followed. The vote on the motion was called: AYES: Barbre, Becker, Carson, Magnuson, McBrayer, Stoel, Tanguma, Venard NAYS: None ABSENT: Allen The motion carried. VIII. PUBLIC FORUM. Mr. McBrayer noted that there was no one present for Public Forum. IX. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE. Mrs. Romans stated that she would hope to be able to schedule time in the next month to consider the Administrative and General Regulations, Nonconforming Use, and Definitions sections of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance so that Public Hearings may be scheduled. The City Council will hold a Public Hearing on the Fence Ordinance, the revised I-1, Light Industrial Zone District, and the amendment to the B-1, Business Zone District on August 6, 1984. Mrs. Becker asked if the City would be observing Colorado Day on August 6~h. Mrs. Romans stated that City Hall will be open, and that Colorado Day is not a Holiday for City employees. XI. SUBDIVISION WAIVER Jay Hamburg, Applicant CASE #2 6-84 Mr. McBrayer stated that the applicant on this case is now in attendance. The request is for a waiver of the Subdivision Regulations requirement that a subdivision plat be prepared and filed. Mr. McBrayer noted that members of the Commission were in receipt of the staff report, and asked if they had any questions of the staff. There being no questions, Mr. McBrayer asked Mr. Hamburg to address the Commission. Mr. Hamburg, 7347 South Ridgeview Drive, Littleton, stated that the prop- erty in question is on the west side of South Santa Fe Drive, south of West Union Avenue. Mr. Hamburg stated that he has nothing additional to add to the staff report. Mrs. Becker stated that the small map indicates that the property abuts South Santa Fe Drive. Mr. Hamburg stated that this is incorrect; there is a 25 ft. easement road extending west from South Santa Fe Drive to this property. Mr. McBrayer asked if the staff had anything further to add. • -12- Mrs. Romans stated that a comment from Mr. Glenn Neal with Mountain Bell has been received. Mr. Neal stated that Mountain Bell will need an ease- ment to run an underground line, and suggested that this easement could be within the 20 ft. planting strip proposed by Mr. Hamburg. If the planting strip and easement can be accommodated in the same 20 foot width, additional easements for Mountain Bell will not be needed. Rick Kahm of the City Engineering Department, has indicated that the drainage will have to be resolved before any building permits are issued. Mr. McBrayer asked if the landscaping provided by the plat complies with the landscaping ordinance. Ms. King stated that it does compJy. Carson moved: Stoel seconded: The request of Jay Hamburg for a waiver to the Subdivisi0n Regulations for property at West Union Avenue and South Santa Fe Drive be approved with the following conditions: 1. One additional fire hydrant must be designated on the Waiver Plat and provided at the westernmost access road. 2. Fire lanes must be shown on the Subdivision Waiver Plat and must be marked; no-parking areas must be posted as specified by the Code Administrator. 3. All water and sewer mains are to be public mains, and placed in 20 foot wide recorded easements which are to be shown on the Subdivision Waiver Plat. Where water and sewer mains share the same easement, the easement shall be 30 feet wide. The easements shall also extend the full length and width so that the mains will be accessible to adjacent properties. 4. WaU~r and sewer construction plans showing plan, profile and details, must be submitted for approval by the Utilities Department before the · Department will sign off on a Building Permit application . .. 5. The drainage ~ystem for this site shall be resolved prior to issuance of any building permits. AYES: Barbre, Becker, Carson, Magnuson, McBrayer, Stoel, Tanguma, Venard NAYS: None ABSENT: Allen The motion carried. XII. OFF-STREET PARKING PLAN Jay Hamburg CASE #27-84 Mr. McBrayer stated that this case pertains to an off-street parking lot plan for the property previously considered for waiver to the Sub- division Regulations. Mr. McBrayer stated that the Commsision will be considering the design of the parking lot, the ingress/egress, and circulation within the lot. Mrs. Becker discussed the egress onto Santa Fe Drive from this site; at the present time, right and left turning movements are permitted • -13- onto Santa Fe Drive. When the improvements to South Santa Fe Drive are made, would this point of access be eliminated, or limited to right turn only. Mr. Hamburg stated that he has discussed this with the officials from the State Highway Department, and it is his understanding that when the improvements reach this area, it would be limited to right-turn only movements. Mr. McBrayer asked if the staff had anything to add. Mrs. Romans stated that the staff does have concern about the indication of parking spaces in front of the overhead doors. If this area is to be available for loading, parking should not be indicated. Mr. Hamburg stated that they could eliminate those parking spaces, be- cause they would have adequate parking without them. However, the tenants they have talked to want the parking spaces there. Mr. McBrayer noted that tenants will park anywhere they want to, and suggested that possibly the spaces could not be "striped" as parking spaces. Stoel moved: Carson seconded: The Planning Commission approve the off-street parking plan as requested by Mr. Jay Hamburg with the following conditions: 1. Fire lanes must be marked and no-parking areas must be posted as specified by the Code Administrator. 2. One additional fire hydrant must be provided at the westernmost access road. 3. Water and sewer mains are to be public mains in recorded easements. 4. No parking spaces shall be permitted in front of the overhead doors. AYES: Becker, Carsop, Magnuson, McBrayer, Stoel, Tanguma, Venard, Barbre NAYS: None ABSENT: Allen The motion carried. XIII. COMMISSION'S CHOICE. Mr. McBrayer asked if anyone had anything they wished to discuss. Mrs. Becker asked if the Commission wanted to plan a picnic at her house sometime in August. It was the consensus that the picnic is a nice get- together, and Mrs. Becker stated that she would plan on the picnic on August 19th at her home • The meeting adjourned at 9:35 P. M.
