Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 98-18 August 17, 1998 Page 7 3. The landscape plan be revised to address the comments outlined in the City Engineer's memo and the staff report. 4. All comments of the City Engineer's memo dated 7/22/98 be incorporated into the plans. 5. All improvements to the parking lot for both the hotel and the office building shall be constructed as part of this project. o All additional parking needed for the proposed expansion will have to comply with setback requirements in effect at the time the expansion is constructed 7. The trash receptacle location be moved to the center of the plat. Staff Comments In response to the applicant's letter to the Council dated August 6, 1998, staff agrees the proposed pedestrian overpass could impair the visibility of their freestanding sign and could support a maximum height of 30 feet. Regarding the west and east ends of the building, staff initially recommended windows be included on the ends of the building to break up the blank walls. The Planning Commission compromised and included a condition that staff work with the applicant to include an architectural treatment on the east and west building elevations. The issue of the trash enclosure was brought up by the resident across the street, Tammy Ayers. Staff can work with the applicant on an alternative location for the trash enclosure. Since the issue of the dumpster location will also come up during the review for the office building, a combined dumpster enclosure for both the hotel and office should be considered. Staff would also suggest adding the following conditions to the conditional use permit: 1. All building and freestanding signs will require a sign permit. 2. A stop sign be installed at the intersection of the access drive behind the proposed office and the entrance to Perkins. s:\planning\scott\cu9818cc.doc
