Subdivision Committee November 26, 2008 Page 4 of 5 LSD 08-3133: Large Scale Development: (TWIN CREEKS VILLAGENAN ASCHE, 172): Submitted by MCCLELLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS for property located at LOT 20, CMN BUSINESS PARK II PH. III, NE OF GREGG AND VAN ASCHE. The property is zoned C-1, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL and contains approximately 5.85 acres. The request is for four 7,428 s.f. office buildings with associated infrastructure. Jesse Fulcher, Current Planner, gave the staff report, describing medical office building request with four office buildings. Fulcher discussed curb cuts, access, tree preservation (lot already dedicated for tree preservation), and street improvements. Staff is recommending an assessment for an off-site traffic signal at Steele & Van Asche. $600 is the recommended assessment, corrected from $6,000 in the staff report, based on the 0.4% traffic that will utilize that intersection. Staff recommends approval of the request with conditions as listed in the staff report. Glenn Newman, City Engineer, described the bonding of public improvements that would be necessary. No public comment was received. Commissioner Trumbo stated he agrees with staff s recommendation in favor of Commercial Design Standards. Commissioner Graves asked about the traffic signal recommendation. Mike Morgan, applicant, discussed the traffic signal. A fee was paid by developers of CMN back in 1999, and his client feels this signal is paid for; they should not have to pay additional for a signal that is already paid for, just because the cost has increased over the years. Fulcher discussed the history of the assessment from 1999-2000. Morgan discussed that there is a spirit of cooperation between developer and city; they would like to see this condition dropped, but don't want to be held to this standard at this time. Commissioner Graves stated he is inclined to agree with staff s recommendation at this point. Commissioner Trumbo stated he would also agree. He considers it a timing issue. I don't consider it fair to pin it all on the taxpayers, either. Morgan stated it would be more cost effective to pay the $600 and get approved now, but that would be admitting additional assessments for later. He would rather it be discussed by the full Planning Commission, if the Subdivision Committee is bound on leaving that condition in. He also noted that they may not be able to connect to the trail with this development. Don't want to bind my client to make that connection. I would like to see it before the full Planning Commission for the street determination. Subdivision Committee November 26, 2008 Page 5 of 5 Motion: Commissioner Trumbo made a motion to forward the request to Planning Commission with a recommendation of approval in favor of all conditions as listed in the staff report. Commissioner Kennedy seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:31 AM.
