HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 10-15-19 Rebuttal to Public Comments:Jim Shinaver • We have submitted our landscape plan to the Urban Forester and those plans will show the species and sizes of trees.The Urban Forester has approved our landscape plan. • We are not connecting to the water source of Autumn Lake subdivision Department Report: Alexia Lopez: • The Petitioner has made many changes and addressed all of our comments • We would not anticipate the townhome residents would use the stub street(full street)connection • As a compromise,we would limit the stub street connection to an emergency access only • We recommend approval of the PP,DP,ADLS and favorable recommendation to the City Council for the rezone • We recommend approval of the SW condition upon the access being allowed to emergency and service vehicles Residential Committee Report: Brad: We looked at improvements to buffers,open space, and landscaping. We looked at the changes to the townhome building along Rohrer Road. We enhanced the path to the Monon and the townhome architecture standards. We did not feel strongly for a street connectivity. There's no convenience or advantage to using the stub street. The emergency vehicles access only was our agreement. Sue: The Petitioner made a lot of great changes and we appreciate that. I agree that it should not be accessed by service vehicles and have emergency vehicles access it only. Committee Comments: Josh: Can you explain how there will be stub street connection between the existing trees and how are you going to save those trees? Jim Shinaver: The connection will not be a full street width. We can't preserve all the trees. We would have to remove at least one tree(points to tree on photo). Josh: So this connection will look more like a trailhead with a Knox Box than a city street with curbs and sidewalks? Jim Shinaver: Correct,there will be no curbs or sidewalks. ILaura: I support their Subdivision Waiver request. I appreciate all the improvements and work done. Alan: As a safety concern,I also agree for Subdivision Waiver request for emergency vehicles only. I don't intend on voting in favor of this development because this is not the right project for this piece of land. A Motion by Alan and seconded by Josh to approve Docket No. 19090007 SW subject to emergency vehicles only.

A 1 year guarantee of the plants survival will be proposed. • The indoor bike parking room will have its own access path for bikes • There's a possibility of a mural that would be placed on the side of the parking garage • The landscape plan was approved by the Urban Forester • The BZA granted variances at the Sept. 2019 meeting for the height of the parking garage and not having two primary buildings as required by the UDO • All outstanding comments have been addressed and we recommend approval tonight Commercial Committee Report: Alan: We were trying to get the best project for both the Petitioner and residents. Noise levels from the generators were discussed. There will be an athletic field for patients only,not open to the public. We were trying to be sensitive for light spillage to the nearby residential areas. The lights will be on a timer and motion censored. They will not be on the entire time. This parking garage will be unique to the other parking garages we have approved in the past. This is a big improvement to where we started. A mural for a side of the garage was discussed and created some interest. Robert Harmeyer: The owner is interested in putting up some murals on the garage and engaging the community. Committee Comments: Brad: Can you add a loop to the existing walking trail at the north east corner of the property? Robert Harmeyer: It has been added.
