Public Notice Verification: Published in the Daily Camera on May 27,2007. Posted in City Hall, Public Library, Recreation Center and the Courts and Police Building and mailed to surrounding property owners on May 25, 2007. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Wood provided the following summary: . The request is for a preliminary subdivision plat and PUD development plan for CTC Filing NO.3 which is located adjacent to and south of Cherry Street, approximately 750 feet west of South 104th, also known as 1900 Cherry Street, and is 4.84 acres in SIze. . The subdivision plat is for a two lot subdivision. Lot 1 proposes a phased flex building and Lot 2 is designated for a water quality storm detention facility. . The parcel is required to dedicate 12% of the land area (exclusive of ROW) or pay a cash-in-lieu payment. Staff is recommending the applicant meet the requirement through a cash-in-lieu payment and the payment amount to be based on the appraised value of the land prior to issuance of a building permit. .

The proposed building, in either phase configuration, does allow full vehicular and emergency access to all sides of the building, as well as loading docks in the rear of the building (located on the south side of the building). . The applicant is requesting three (3) access points into Lot 1 where the IDDSG limits the access points to two for a lot less than 5 acres in size. . The Public Works Department is requesting an opportunity to either eliminate the third access point or move it to the west. Staff recommends a condition of approval which would allow the applicant to propose an alternate location for review by the Public Works Department. . The proposed development exceeds the minimum parking ratio as required by the IDDSG. . The building massing is reduced in scale in accordance with the IDDSG through variations in color, step backs in the building footprint and variation in roof forms. .

The applicant is requesting relief from the required 25' width to avoid technical conflicts with a required utility easement that is located adjacent to and runs parallel with the south property line. In addition, the applicant is being asked to maintain a minimum width of24' for the adjoining access drive. The applicant proposes to install a 17' to 22' wide landscape buffer along the entire length of the southerly property line. Staff recommends support of the
