DonalJA. Schallock, Architect 747 Poplar Ave., Boulder 5/18/82 Page -20- Rupp stated some of the issues brought up at the Planning Commission meeting involved parking areas, amount of parking spaces, and accesses to and from the site. Director Rupp advised that a condition was placed in the Special Review Use Agreement that the improvements to South Boulder Road would be completed by September 1, 1982. It was his understanding that the applicant mig~t have difficultly in meeting this requlrement; , however it was staff's position this deadline not be extended past October 1, 1982, which is when the paving season ends. Planning Commission recommended approval. Represented the owners of the Church of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City and also the local congregation. He infomed,Cot.m.cil the facility would be a 25,000 s.f. building. The cultural hall would serve as a gymnasium and an auditorium. The stake center will serve as a worship facility primarily for the Louisville congregation, in addition serves as a meeting place for Broomfield, Lafayette, Boulder and Longmont. Building will be brick exterior, clay tile roof, with extensive landscaping at the front of the site attempting to screen the parking from the road. Mr. Schallock referred to item 4. of the Special Review Use Agreement (of which councilmembers had a copy) and stated not only were they to address the fact of in- vestigating joint access with Neodata but there was an additional complication with the Public Service right-of-way, which is the intervening property between the Neodata site. Also if joint access cannot be achieved, that they would be restricted to a right turn in and out of the property.according to City standards. Salt Lake City has voiced some concern that this seems too restrictive at this time. Not knowing how the traffic flow is going to work, what they do speculate is that this will throw the majority of their traffic on Washington Ave. and they don't feel this either is in the City's or their best interest. Therefore, they would like this requirement relaxed until they investigate how they will deal with South Boulder Road ingress and egress with the Planning Dept.
