PUBLIC HEARING CRESTAHAOS L-3 LODGE GMP SCORING SESSION Steve Burstein, planner, explained the request and the scoring process. Burstein said the Planning Office had scored the project and it met the threshold, although there were some questions and gaps in information which made the scor ing hard in some areas. They feel through special reviews some of the particular problems found can be addressed and should be conditions of approval. Burstein said there was a problem, in the site design category, with the location and design of the parking lot on the east side of the property. The intersection site distance is a problem, and increasing the number of units will make it become a greater problem. Also noted was that the recreational facility provided by the appl icant is above and beyond the normal recreational facility for a lodge this size and type. Blomquist asked if the Building Department required, or had the authority to require, sidewalks on new buildings. Bill Drueding, Building Inspector, repl ied that they can be asked but not 1 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 5. 1985 forced. Blomquist then asked if the appl icant would be signing an Improvement District agreement saying they will join when the distr ict is created. Burstein said that condition had not been mentioned in any of the special reviews but could be considered. Blomquist said it has been traditional that all new projects put in sidewal ks. Gideon Kaufman, appl icant I s at torney, said they did not have a problem with joining an Improvement District if one was formed, but would have a problem putting in a sidewalk that did not go any place. Blomquist asked that it be added as a condi tion. Mr. Kaufman explained the history of the project. He said this application was not to debate or question the validity of the L-3 zone. Under this zoning the proj ect could be 54,000 sq. ft., this application seeks to increase the size only by 5,400 sq.ft.. The total FAR will only be .3, as opposed to the allowed 1 to l. Mr. Kaufman commented that the intent of the L-3 zone was not to have every old lodge torn down and upgraded to very expensive lodges, but rather to preserve some of the older lodges with upgrades. Kaufman feels this project clearly falls within that intention. Dave Gibson, appl icant' s architect, gave a presentation of the proposed plans and a pictorial history of the project. Anderson opened the public hearing for comments. Helen Klanderud, neighboring property owner, presented pictures of the view from her house in relation to the proposed project. Ms. Klanderud said she agreed with the intent of the L-3 zone but considered what is being proposed more than a limited expansion. Ms. Klanderud explained more history of the existing lodge. Ms. Klanderud said this public hearing was noticed in the paper for 9:00 a.m. rather than 5,00 p.m. Ms. Klanderud said her primary area of objection was the proposed parking area, which will be in full view from her house. Her concern was that the area will be going from a grassy area with few impacts, to 15 parking spaces. In addition, historically there have been groups using the lodge which come by bus and the buses remain parked there f or several days at a time. Additionally, Ms. Klanderud expressed concern about drainage. In this location there is either a very high water table or underground seepage f rom the adj acent Sal vation Ditch which is a probl em that has existed for years and no solution has been found. As the proposed 2 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 5. 1985 plan describes there is no snow removal and she expressed concern that it would be piled up on her property. Ms. Klanderud did not agree that the proposed dry wells and drainage pattern was actually what would happen. In addition, Ms. Klanderud thought the modul ar house on the property encroached in the set back, expressed concern with the lighting of the project, and the ingress and egress off of Highway 82. Ms. Klanderud said the lodge as it exists certainly could use some renovation but was concerned about amount of the redevelopment and thought there were impacts. Blomquist asked if this hearing should be re-noticed because of the discrepancy in the time of the public notice. Barry Edwards, City Attorney, said he thought this public hearing should be continued and be re-noticed. Motion: Blomquist moved to find that the notice was deficient and that the hearing be tabled to November 26, 1985 which will be properly advertised; White seconded. All in favor; motion carried. NEW BUSINESS CRESTAHAUS LODGE FAR SPECIAL REVIEW/PARKING REDUCTION Motion: Hunt moved to table this discussion, due to deficiency in noticing, until November 26, 1985; Markal unas seconded. All in favor; motion carried. BEST WESTERN MOLLY GIBSON GMP EXEMPTION Steve Burstein, planner, explained the applicants request to convert a non-unit space to 2 lodge units. This is considered a change in use and a one step process. Burstein said the Planning Office felt the growth impacts would be minimal. The one area of concern is that at present there is no off street parking and the Planning Office feels by creating 2 lodge units there should be at least a requirement for 2 spaces. The Planning Office recommends approval with the condition that those spaces be provided off the alley in the back of the lodge. David Jones, appl icant, said he thought there would be less impact with 2 lodge units than there is as the conference room 3 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION NOVEMBER 5. 1985 exists. In addition, the 2 parking space requirement was acceptable to the applicants. Markal una s asked going to be done. the landscaping. when the landscaping of the parking area was Mr. Jones explained what they had in mind for Motion: Hunt moved to recommend approval of the requested change in use subject to the condition outlined in the Planning Office memorandum dated October 30, 1985; Blomquist seconded. Discussion: Markalunas said she would like to have the landscaping requirement added to the motion. Hunt agreed to amend his motion to include the landscaping as a second condition. All in favor; motion carried. Anderson adjourned the meeting at 6:10 p.m. 9<~uJ~___ Kim Wilhoit, Deputy City Clerk 4
