HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 10-16-18 commercial. • As long as a site is developed, can more be done with regards to landscaping?Maybe the creation of a mound between the dentist office and the parking or do you not foresee this as an issue? • Chris Winkle-A mound could be placed and there will be landscaping on top. It is actually a utility easement and the utilities cannot be buried to deeply. The entrance to the dentist parking lot is separate from Noah's. Drivers will naturally head to the closest available space which will be the remainder of the CMC lot. With experience with the site increases,we will know how to mitigate issues. We can put signage up to help direct traffic. We are always good neighbors. • As far as the third floor is concerned,what type of separation is actually present on the third-story between the HVAC systems and the wedding? • Chris Winkle-The only way to access the mechanical units is through a storage room on the third-story. • Will any of the HVAC systems be seen from the ground? • Chris Winkle-No. Michael Casati • I am having trouble finding the access to the property. • Chris Winkle-From Illinois St.there is a driveway heading east. The first entrance to the subject property is at the southwest corner.There is also an existing entrance leading to the front of the building. Brad Grabow • Can you please bring photographs of the lighting planned? • Chris Winkle-They will be LED. • The only sign depicted is the blade sign. The logo appears throughout the packet,but in the renderings (Page 14 of Submitted Packet)provided the font is different. • Chris Winkle-The font on the actually sign will match our logos font. Using a blade sign is new for us. • Perhaps some additional wayfinding parking will help with the traffic concerns presented tonight. • Chris Winkle-An a-frame sign would work. • Rachel Keesling-We will have a better representation of the parking at Commercial Committee. One will not be able to tell where the parking for Noah's and the other parking begins and ends. It is all designed to be one large parking area. It is the perfect shared parking arrangement.

Certain vegetation will be planted there. • Steve went through the changes to the commitments. • Item 1: Permitted uses will be limited significantly. • Item 2: Neighbor's largest concerns were use of the property during late hours. The hours of operation for the property has been limited from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday—Friday and 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday. If there is, for example,an executive MBA program occurring at the property the time could extend to 10:00 pm on the weekdays and 5:00 pm on Saturday. • Strong architectural commitments have been made.
