Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 October 25, 2005 --------------------------- Mr. Luciano stated that the residents are concerned about what type of businesses will be going in and the impact on their properties. Mr. Hempel stated that the concept has not changed, just the location of the buildings. Mr. Luciano stated that they still have problems with the development, but that he likes the new layout better. He had concerns with the pond on the corner near the proposed daycare. Mr. Hempel stated that the daycare outdoor area will be fenced. Mr. Luciano asked there will be any changes to the berm behind the 3- phase building. Mr. Hempel stated that the hill has been graded to its permanent elevation. Acting Chair Stevens asked if the landscaping plan meets the requirements. Mr. Leeseberg stated that staff has checked the site and found the perimeter landscaping meets the plan. Mr. Luciano stated that some of the homeowners in the immediate area are having a difficult time selling their homes. He felt this was in part due to the uncertainty of potential buyers as to what the area will look like when it is fully developed. He asked if Mr. Hempel could provide pictures to show to buyers. Mr. Hempel stated that they have just completed colored renditions of what the site will look like and that he would be happy to provide them to Mr. Luciano for the residents. Lou Pertl, 19796 Lowell Street – Asked if the City will require the developer to abide by the restrictive covenants for Brentwood. Acting Chair Stevens stated that enforcing covenants is outside of the Planning Commission’s purview and that the residents would need to seek outside counsel on this issue. Commissioner Lemke asked what the building would look like. Mr. Leeseberg stated that all buildings will be required to meet the design standards. Acting Chair Stevens asked if the square footage for the multi-tenant building has changed. Mr. Leeseberg stated no. Commissioner Lemke stated that he did not see any reason not to approve the request. Commissioner Offerman stated that the request seems reasonable. He had some concerns with the elevation facades, the metal roof, and questioned if the quality was what they saw in the original plan. He also had a concern about the loss of a Class I restaurant in exchange for a vision center. He did not see any major issues with the request. Mr. Hempel stated that the square footage of the total restaurant area is approximately the same. Commissioner Offerman stated that he objected to lighting on the bank building, and that it did not meet the full cut off requirement. He asked that a condition be included that all building mounted fixtures and lighting be full cut off. Commissioner Scott questioned why the three buildings were clustered. Mr. Hempel stated that this type of clustering is called “junior boxes” and the design was based on input from users. There being no one else to speak to this issue, Acting Chair Stevens closed the public hearing. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LEMKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER OFFERMAN TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY 7040
