HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 10-17-23 • We are coming back for the 6 lots(14.78 acres)to the south. This south phase will share the same entrance as
Asherwood north
• We've had conversations with the adjacent neighbors of Deerfield,and they would like the existing stub street
into our subdivision to be an emergency access gate only
• Presented plat map, the south will contain six 1-acre lots
• We will keep the existing island golf putting green with walking path and bridge as an amenity for residents
• We are seeking the same SW for the private streets as we did for north Asherwood
• We have submitted an existing tree survey to the Urban Forester
Public Comments:
Jane Funke,Royalton Drive: I live adjacent to the proposed gate between Deerfield and Asherwood South. We have no
objection to this development. We appreciate the developer reaching out to us and our neighbors.I submitted a letter for
the record.There are two sets of covenants that govern Asherwood and Deerfield. We are glad they have decided to have
the stub street connection to our existing street as an emergency only access gate.
Department Report: Alexia Lopez
• We are making sure they are meeting the standards for private streets and their subdivision entrance gate
• Landscape and tree preservation standards must be met for this subdivision
• Staff recommends this is sent to the Nov. 13 Residential Committee for further review
Committee Comments:
Hill: Will these private streets be built to the public(city)standards?Justin Moffett: Yes
Hill: Is there a concern when larger vehicles enter and navigate Asherwood or Deerfield have a safe turnaround area?
Justin Moffett: This was not addressed as a concern at TAC.Alexia Lopez: The UDO has gate standards that apply to
the outside of the gate, so enough room is provided for a vehicle to turnaround outside the gate area.
Westermeier: Will construction traffic for the south use the same entrance for the north?Justin Moffett: We will not be
using Royalton Drive. We also have a temporary construction entrance along Ditch Rd.to serve the lots in the south.
Buckler:Are there any plans to relocate the utility poles on the west side of Ditch Rd.? Some of them are really close to
the road,and a disastrous accident is bound to happen.Justin Moffett: The thoroughfare plan ROW will eventually be
dedicated part of the platting process and then the utility providers will have to move them out of the ROW.
A Motion made by Hill and seconded by Campagna to send PZ-2023-00153 PP,PZ-2023-00184 SW to Residential
Committee,with them having final approval. Approved 6-0,absent Coleman,Grabow,Kirsh.
3. Docket No.PZ-2023-00189 DP/ADLS: Midwest Eye Institute at The Bridges.
The applicant seeks site plan and design approval for a new,two-story medical office building on 5.4 acres. The
site is located at the NW corner of Illinois Street and 111th Street and west of the KAR office building. The future
address will be 11220 Illinois Street. It is zoned PUD(The Bridges Z-550-11)and is not within any overlay
district.Filed by Kylie Bright-Schuler of American Structurepoint on behalf of the owner,Cornerstone
Companies.
Petitioner: Kylie Bright-Schuler
• Connectivity to this site will be provided by the internal east/west and north/south roads
• Our exterior bike parking is now located closer to the building and internal bike parking have been updated
• We added two sidewalk connections to the multi-use path along Illinois Street
Public Comments:
Ron Houch,Springmill Place,HOA president. We support this project,but we have several questions. They show 25-ft
lighting poles,and we are asking for 20-ft poles,to match the Steadman Apartment lighting poles and to reduce the light
spillage. We would like them to provide the specific lumens of their LED lights. We ask to have the lighting poles face
downward.Will the outdoor lighting be on after office hours?I'm not clear if their landscape plantings of the berm meet
the landscape requirements of the Bridges PUD, species type,and caliber size.

Jill Meisenheimer,Williams Mill: We have been impacted by the Bridges development for the last 11 years.When you
approve a PUD,I hope you loqk at the entire site and how it affects the adjacent neighbors. There's inadequate parking
Ithroughout this site.I'm confused with the amount of parking for the Midwest Eye Institute.What's going to be
constructed during Phase 3?Will the parking be shared?We would like to see the elevated berm landscaping continued to
this area,as it is along Spring Mill Road. We ask that the height of the lighting poles is reduced from 25-ft to 20-ft.The
new roundabout on 111th St.between Spring Mill and Illinois is very small,and we worry how drivers will navigate it.
Don Worsham, Spring Mill Lane:presented photo of a yield sign knocked over at the new roundabout on 111 th. I believe
this roundabout is unsafe for larger vehicles. Grading has already begun on the site during Phase 2 and how is this
allowed?I never received public notice for this hearing. What's going to happen with all the new traffic generated from
this site?
Rebuttal to Public Comments: Kylie Bright-Schuler
• Hours will be from 9am to 5pm
• Lighting will be consistent with the northern development in the Bridges
• The berm will remain,and we will provide the required landscape plantings
• We will provide 181 parking spaces,which is more than what Cannel requires,but we are following what
Midwest Eye Institute requires per sq.ft.,since patients typically have to stay for multiple hours
• This building will be 2 story,25,000 sq. ft.
• Public notices were sent out and the documentation of our public notices were given to Planning Staff
Department Report: Rachel Keesling
• Two remaining phases are now being planned out to the south of the Cannel Medical Office building
• We have worked with the Petitioner on the site plan,placement of the building,and number of parking spaces
• Our required parking is I space per 300 sq.ft.of gross floor area.With 40,000 sq. ft. 134 spaces is required.They
are proposing 181 spaces,per the request of the Petitioner's client
• This area is intended to have shared parking for the Bridges development
• We are working out on the area of the layout of Phase 3. We need to see what that might be.
• We are asking for a pedestrian connection through the middle of this site
• The Urban Forester is working on the Landscape Plan and is aware of the requirements of the Bridges PUD
• We can work with the Petitioner on the lighting pole heights. This site's lighting poles was supposed to match the
building to the north,and not the Steadman Apartments to the west.
• The new mini roundabout meant to have mountable curbs that large vehicles can drive over it if necessary
• Staff recommends to the Nov. 13 Commercial Committee with the Committee having final voting authority
Committee Comments:
Aasen: Can we have these conversations with the City Engineer about the roundabout?This is a separate issue,but one
that should be addressed.Zoccola: Can they come to the Commercial Committee to address this?
Campagna: I agree we need to match the 20-ft height lighting pole heights of the Steadman Apartments.
Hill: We need to work on getting the parking space numbers right for this use. If the parking is shared,it could be a long
walk to and from the building. Is there a sidewalk around the entire phase 2 and 3 sites?Kylie Bright-Schuler: Yes,it
goes all around this site and the Bridges,and it will connect to the walking paths along Illinois and 111th.
Zoccola: Why is the extra parking required for this business?Kylie Bright-Schuler: Patients who have work done on
their eyes,have to stay for an extended period of time,so more parking is required for patients who are there and for those
who are coming in for their appointments.
Westermeier: Can Staff confirm the public notice requirements were met.Rachel Keesling: We did verify it was correct.
A Motion made by Aasen and seconded by Buckler to send PZ-2023-00189 DP/ADLS to Commercial Committee,
with the Committee having final voting authority. Approved 6-0,absent Coleman, Grabow,Kirsh.
