Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 12, 2024 Page 3 of 12 Post explained that the City's nuisance regulations would apply. Applicant Presentation: Sonya Starr, a Brighton resident, is the co-owner of Birdie Bar, along with Mike Starr and Amy and Fanny Gryzmala. Starr explained that the goal of Birdie Bar was to create a warm and inclusive environment that brought together all types of community members, including families, professionals, golfers and non -golfers, groups of friends, and co- workers, providing a space where everyone could come together and enjoy that corner of the city. Birdie Bar would feature state-of-the-art golf simulators, an elevated food and beverage program, and the ability to host tailored events, including nonprofit fundraisers, private parties, and golf -related events. The vision was to create a professional yet approachable vibe that would appeal to families and a wide range of groups. Carolynne White, from Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck with offices in Denver, addressed the review criteria. White began her presentation by outlining the two sets of criteria: the special use review criteria and the Planned Unit Development (PUD) criteria. She noted that they had submitted a letter to staff as part of the application packet, which addressed all of the special use review criteria in detail. White also emphasized that the application met all of the criteria for both the PUD and the Special Review Use (SRU), agreeing with staff's analysis and the staff report on the matter. Additionally, she discussed how the proposal aligned with the comprehensive plan and how it furthered the goals outlined in that plan. Commissioner Questions of Applicant: Choi asked two questions: The first one was about the conceptual designs, specifically about the addition to the east, and its use as a mechanical room to serve the space. Starr responded with a yes, it is a mechanical room, also some storage. Some of our electrical and A/V kind of sound equipment will be in there as well. We'II probably store miniature golf equipment in there too. Choi followed up with: the mechanical equipment for the building will be contained in that addition on the east, and nothing will be outside or roof -mounted. Justin Fries, with Studio DH Architecture in Golden, answered the question: There will be some rooftop units; there is rooftop screening provided in the design. The east entry is also going to be where our fire riser room is, for the fire sprinkler and storage. Choi's second question is about the proposed lighting, and if there is going to be a controlled lighting system. Starr explained that the goal is to be compliant with the lighting regulations. We'II have shielded lights for those, and then the festivals will be managed. Basket's question is about the alley located on the west side of the building, more specifically the door on the west side.
