Subdivision Committee January 17, 2008 Page 11 of 12 LSD 07-2765: (STONEBRIDGE SQUARE, 567): Submitted by H2 ENGINEERING, INC. for property located at THE SE CORNER OF HWY 16E AND S. STONEBRIDGE ROAD. The property is zoned C-1, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL and contains approximately 3.46 acres. The request is for a commercial development with a 3,360 s.f. convenience store, 3,000 s.f. restaurant, 16,218 s.f. retail space, 3,692 s.f. bank and associated parking. Dara Sanders, Current Planner, gave the staff report, recommending forwarding the item to Planning Commission with a recommendation of approval with conditions as listed in the staff report. Sarah Patterson, Urban Forester, discussed the prior removal of trees on the property. A variance request has been submitted to dedicate a tree preservation area of high quality canopy along the West Fork of the White River, in a riparian corridor. This off-site preservation option would be in lieu of planting the 10% area on-site. Development approval is contingent upon variance approval by City Council. If the variance is not approved, the project approval is null and void, and will have to return through the large scale development process. Sanders stated there was one recommendation to add to the conditions of approval: the need to have two fire hydrants, because only one is currently shown. No public comment was received. The Subdivision Committee discussed dumpster location on the site, and how the site layout had changed to result in the current proposal. Commissioner Anthes stated she was in favor of Commercial Design Standards, the tree preservation off-site; but generally not in favor of the greenspace variance request and dumpster location; reducing greenspace by I V seems excessive. She stated she would like the applicant to work on some variations for the Planning Commission meeting. Motion: Commissioner Anthes made a motion to forward the request to the Planning Commission, stating she was in favor of Commercial Design Standards, recommended street improvements, was not in favor of condition #3 (variance request), and that she wanted the applicant to review dumpster location before Planning Commission. Commissioner Winston seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. Subdivision Committee January 17, 2008 Page 12 of 12 C-PZD 07-2858: Commercial Planned Zoning District (FARMER'S MARKET / 6TH ST., 558): Submitted by STEVE CLARK for property located at S SIDE OF 6TH STREET, BETWEEN E AND W FARMERS DRIVE. The property is zoned R -A, RESIDENTIAL - AGRICULTURAL and contains approximately 1.50 acres. The request is for rezoning, land use and large scale development approval for a C-PZD with a 5,000 s.f. commercial building with associated parking. Jesse Fulcher, Current Planner, gave the staff report, giving a history of previous rezoning request to C-2. Staff recommended tabling the item, with issues to address before returning. Sarah Patterson, Urban Forester, discussed the comments in report. Staff is currently recommending denying the Tree Preservation Plan — if revisions are made as recommended, staff can easily be in support. Matt Casey, City Engineer, stated that the applicant designed a site that is meeting floodplain regulations. The proposed building will be 2' above the base flood elevation. Alan Dems, (citizen), lives on West Farmers Drive, and his concern is that currently West Farmers Drive is only wide enough for one-way traffic. He is disturbed about traffic. Steve Clark discussed the difficulty in the project site development. His interpretation of 20% for tree canopy is quibbling with Sarah, and he will live with 25% if that is the determination. There is no problem with removing uses as recommended by staff. He stated he did want to clarify the street improvements would only go just to the south of the parking lot, and not in front of the tree preservation area. Commissioner Anthes stated she needs to see revisions before this goes to full Planning Commission. Adjust to 25% for tree preservation; remove the use units as recommended; clarify the buffer between residential uses to south and east. Clark stated he can build a 6' privacy fence along the southern part of the property. Commissioner Anthes stated that Mr. Clark must be very clear about what is happening around residential units, east and south. Motion: Commissioner Anthes made a motion to table the request. Commissioner Winston seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. All business concluded, the meeting was adjourned at 10:27 AM.
