landscape the maximum amount that they can on the corner to buffer <br />the property from the corner, as well as give it a substantial <br />landmark design approach as one approaches the site from either <br />McCaslin, Century, or from a distant view. The Post Office is <br />internal to the property. He stated that it has the overall look <br />of a business park. It's a collection of individual buildings <br />around an internal traffic system, each building buffered and <br />surrounded by landscaping on all sides, with the parking having <br />islands, setbacks, and landscaped to break the interior of the <br />site. <br /> <br />Davidson called for public comments. <br /> <br />Rex Renfrew, 172 Cherrywood, Louisville, Colorado, President of the <br />Cherrywood II Homeowner's Association, stated that they were <br />concerned about the gas station, because of the hours of operation, <br />the lighting concerns, and the canopies. He was concerned about <br />the right-in/right-out on McCaslin. He wondered why Century Circle <br />was well planned to serve the front three pads, but there isn't <br />much of an access flow to the rear parcel, so he wondered what the <br />phasing would be. He wanted the light focused toward the parking <br />areas and not toward the perimeter areas~ <br /> <br />Davidson called for Council comments or questions. <br /> <br />Lathrop wondered if architecturally the gas station could be <br />designed to blend in and not look like a gas station. <br /> <br />Junge: <br /> <br />Yes. I will tell you that their <br />intent is a 24 hour station. What <br />one does is insist on setback, <br />berming, and landscaping of that <br />berming. Landscaping does a lot, if <br />it's the right size, with ample <br />setback and berming. The building <br />has to be masonry to match all of <br />the other masonry elements that <br />occur on the site. The canopy has <br />to have a facing around the <br />perimeter ~that is consistent with <br />all of the other fascias of the <br />project, to be consistent with the <br />office pa~k. It has to hang down <br />sufficiently to not have the <br />spillage of light. The signage has <br />to be controlled. <br /> <br />Lathrop wondered how much architectural control they would have <br />with a Federal building. <br /> <br />Junge stated that the Post Office would lease the building, so it <br />would be under the control of the governing agency. <br /> <br />16 <br /> <br /> <br />
