. . . Planning Commission Minutes May 27,2003 Page 5 Mr. Barrett stated that he felt they could work with staff on the issue of the side elevations if the Conunission moved the application on to the City Council. Conunissioner Jenson asked what the distance was between the back of the building and Highway 169. Mr. Harlicker stated that he did not know the exact distance, but that it is consistent with the existing buildings. Conunissioner Franz stated that he agreed with Conunissioner Offerman that the building does not reflect the character elements they are seeking. He felt that the request should be tabled to allow the applicant time to find a better solution to meet the intent of the PUD design standards. Conunissioner Jenson concurred and stated that he felt the Conunission would like to see the final design before making a recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Harlicker asked what elements the Conunission is looking for. Conunissioner Jenson stated that he would like to see more windows. Conunissioner Franz suggested awnings, and some type of lighting to break up the elevation. Conunissioner Franz stated that he also felt the current design appeared to simplistic. Conunissioner Offerman suggested that there should be more combinations of architectural details on the fa~ade of the building. COMMISSIONER JENSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE REQUEST BE TABLED TO THE JUNE 10,2003 PLANNING COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING. COMMISSIONER FRANZ SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. COMMISSIONER FRANZ MOVED TO EXTEND THE 60-DAY TIME PERIOD FOR ACTING ON AN APPLICATION TO AUGUST 26,2003. COMMISSIONER JENSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 5.4. Request by S1M Development for a Multi-Tenant Building. Public Hearing - Case No. CO 03-11 Staff report by Chris Leeseberg. S1M Development request a conditional use permit to allow the construction of an 7,950 square foot multi-tenant retail building (Lot 2, Block 1 Elk River Crossing 4th Addition). Mr. Leeseberg reviewed the building design, landscaping, parking and circulation. He noted that the City Engineer has recommended that the driveway be moved further south to provide adequate spacing between access points and provide better access to the existing lift station. Staff recommends tabling the request in order to address the three issues listed in the staff report. Chair Pederson opened the public hearing. Russ McGinty, representing the applicant, stated that the original plan submitted was similar to the Panera Bread building with some differences. The revised plan has different articulations and a different look. He reviewed the new design for the Conunission, and noted that some type of "chain diner" will be a tenant in the building.
