Spriggs stated that they were in agreement with all twelve conditions. He wanted to make sure that the language in condition No.9 would be broad enough and specific enough that the City would be exercising its sole discretion, if there was a safety problem. Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, read a revised access note: "The access movements shown on the PUD are subject to change. If, at any time in the future, it is determined by the City in its sole discretion that change is appropriate to enhance traffic flow on one or more surrounding streets or to mitigate an unsafe situation, upon notification from the City, the Centennial Valley Parcel L 1 property owners shall make such physical changes at their cost as may be required by the City. Each present and future Parcel L 1 property owner shall acknowledge in writing the foregoing authority of the City." Roll call was taken. Motion passed by a 7 - 0 vote. RESOLUTION NO. 34, SERIES 1996 - FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MICRO HOUSE INTERNATIONAL - CENTENNIAL VALLEY BUSINESS PARK LOT 2, BLOCK 3 Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the applicants were requesting to construct a two-story office building totaling 31,600 s.f. Building lot coverage is 14% and landscaping is at 36%. In reviewing the site, he pointed out that the site slopes generally to the southeast with the building orientation directed toward the corner of Centennial Parkway and Century Drive.

With respect to condition No. 2, the developer had agreed to modify the 5' utility easement to 3' for a total of 8' from their property line with the additional 2' to be accommodated to the property to the east. Concerning conditions No.1, 5, and 6 he went back to the uniformity and consistency within the park. On NO.1 he stated that the Gateway Design Guidelines (GDG) allow for a 35' height limit for pole lights within the parking lot. He asked that that be modified to 30'. He asked that condition No.5 be removed from the resolution as they currently exceed the GDG for the evergreen mix. Additional evergreen screening might create potential icing on the access drive.
