Answering roll call were Tim Mooney, Sara Garton, Roger Hunt, and Bruce Kerr. David Brown was absent and Jasmine Tygre arrived shortly after roll call. There were none. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS STUF COMMENTS There were none. There were none. PUBLIC COMMENTS MINUTES DECEMBER 21. 1993 After corrections: Sara made a motion to approve minutes of December 21, 1993. Roger seconded the motion with all in favor. BCS PILATES STUDIO CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW Leslie made presentation as attached in record. She presented the affidavit of notice and publishing. (attached in record) After discussion Bruce asked the applicant if they had any problems with any of the conditions of approval. They had no problems with conditions of approval. Tim: Here is an application where we are changing from studios or bedrooms that are needed to something that has run it's course at the Aspen Club already and isn't needed. I would like to see us have some way to get this back if the life of this Pilates studio doesn't live long and we can back it back to something we need. We need bedrooms. We need housing. And all of a sudden we are changing to a commercial use. Howard Bass: If, in fact, they decide to go someplace else then we will just turn it back into what it was before. Tim: I don't want to see this changed to more commercial space and then you come back and say "It was commercially changed and that didn't work so now we want to try a conditional use to do this." Once it gets into the commercial pool, I am very disappointed. And once it gets out of the bedroom pool and into the commercial pool, I think we go backwards as far as maintaining the town. I think the commercial is the engine that is exploiting the town and moving out the residential aspect of the community. PZMl.18.94 ".N"."'" Leslie: You are being asked for a very specific review for a Pilate studio. If the Pilate studio goes by the wayside and Howard wants to do another commercial in there it depends on whether that is a conditional use. If it is another conditional use then you will review that again. MOTION Roger: I move to grant GMQS exemption for the change in use of one 750 square foot dwelling unit a primary residential use to a mixed service/commercial and grant residential use and conditional use for a Pilates-based fitness studio at 530 East Bleeker street with the conditions as stated in Planning Office memo dated January 18, 1994. (attached in record) Sara seconded the motion with all in favor. MOORE REFERRAL REVISION Leslie made presentation as attached in record. MOTION Sara: I move to adopt the new language and to forward the referral ,..~ as stated as #6 in the Planning Office memo revised Moore Family subdivision statement dated January 18, 1994. (attached in record) Roger seconded the motion. Bruce: I would still like it say something like "Whereas" in front of it. I am specifically talking about the language where it says it is not entirely consistent. I would like to have it say something like "The Moore Family general submission as submitted attempts to mitigate it's impacts on transportation but the Planning and Zoning Commission has found that it is not there yet". So we acknowledge that they have been doing the work and they are going to do more. I just think there needs to be an acknowledgement that they are aware of the transportation impacts and that they are attempting to mitigate. But based on the presentation we see at this point, they are not quite there yet. The only other problem I didn't see in these 4 items is it specifically says somehow splitting the traffic through Maroon Creek either diverting it off to Castle Creek or cutting across the edge of their dedicated open space. Is there possible alternatives? That was another option to be considered. Leslie: I think it was in their application that they are 2 PZMl. 18.94 proposing an alignment on the edge of the dedicated open space. This will definitely be included in the EIS and that is the form that it will all be discussed in. Bruce: I think there must be a recognition that the automobile is still going to be here in spite our best efforts. And if there are ways that we can disburse that automobile traffic by going on one side of the Moore open space or taking some of it off of the Maroon Creek Road and get it onto Castle Creek Road or across the Holden/Marolt. I don't know what those options are but it ought to continue to be open for discussion. So that we don't spill everything into that one traffic light. Or an alternative corridor. I think all of that needs to be considered. Roger: A transportation plan for this entire area--not just the Moore property. We should specify from the Maroon Creek Road to Castle Creek--give it boundaries. But there is this virtual development triangle at that point that goes basically from Highlands, Maroon Creek Road, Hospital or that development, Castle Creek Road and actually including the Castle Creek. Leslie: How about "The land area in between the 2 creeks". Roger: Good idea! And Hwy 82. MOTION ADDITION Sara: I amend my motion to include points as discussed. Roger: I amend my second in include same. Everyone then voted in favor of the motion. Bruce then adjourned the business portion of the meeting. Time was 5:00 P.M. Commission then continued with a joint meeting with City Council, Board of County Commissioners and County Planning and Zoning Commission. Janice /" Deputy Clerk 3
