RESOLUTION NO. 71, SERIES 1995 - FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN, MCBRIDE BROTHERS - COLORADO TECHNICAL CENTER Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that this is to construct a 21,500 s.f. office/warehouse located at the east end Boxelder Street. It would be constructed with precast concrete panels painted a light beige, with the office elevation being a different architectural treatment with brown split faced block with a rust colored stucco feature. There is a 3'x6' monument sign. There is a 30' wide dedicated easement on the west side of the lot. He explained that Phase I did not conflict with any potential future access to the south. However, the Phase II expansion goes right up to within 5' of the access point and had the potential of being in conflict with the access point, if it were to be developed. This resolution had one condition. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Paul Pennock, Zeiler-Pennock, Inc., 2727 Bryant Street, Denver, Colorado 80211, stated that this building will house a manufacturing facility for small metal and plastic parts used in various industries. He was concerned about the issue of no roof-top units on the facility. They had hoped to use two swamp coolers located in the center of the building. Davidson called for Council questions. Mayer did not feel the landscaping plan was realistic. He wondered who could enforce use of the easment. Wood stated that the easement is in place so that if the property owner to the south was in a position to need access, they would have an unrestricted opportunity to provide emergency access to Boxelder Street. He felt it was a matter of future negotiation with adjoining property owners as to how that ultimately functions. Lathrop wanted to make sure the water facilities were in place to adequately protect this building as well as the neighboring buildings. Bill Dhieux, Fire Marshall, stated that is was in question. The water supply was there, but not the pressure. It might dictate putting on a fire pump to boost the pressure into the sprinkler system, which would be the building owner's responsibility. Pennock stated that the building's owner agreed to assume that responsibility if necessary. Howard asked if they would be storing hazardous or flammable materials and what provisions were being made for that. Pennock stated that no hazardous materials will be stored that goes beyond what the exempt amounts are in the Uniform Building Code.
