'Davidson called the meeting back to order. RESOLUTION NO. 14, SERIES 1999 - FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 841 FRONT STREET Davidson called for staff presentation. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the Boudreau-Love Partnership, LLP, represented by Hartronft Associates, P.C. has submitted a Final PUD development plan for the expansion of a 2,896 SF, two-story office building located at the southwest comer of Walnut and Front Streets. The property is zoned Commercial Community (CC) and is 4,686 sf in area. The existing building is currently occupied by professional office and is 22 feet high at the ridgeline. There are four, on-site parking spaces located immediately to the east of the building, entrance off of Front Street. PUD approval would authorize the addition of approximately 4,125 sf total with that square footage being distributed evenly between a new basement, and the main and second floors. If approved the PUD would authorize a density increase from approximately .62 FAR to 1.20 FAR, not including basement. Of the total proposed 7,021 square feet, it is intended that 1,375 square feet on the main level would be used for retail and/or restaurant. The second story would be used for professional office and a note has been added to the PUD, which restricts the basement to storage only. Architecturally, the existing office would receive a new false front on the east elevation with a maximum height of twenty-six feet. Principal building material would be painted lap siding and trim. A rooftop mechanical unit is shown to be screened and at a height of twenty-two feet. A small wall-mounted sign is proposed above each building entry from Walnut and Front Streets. A head gate planter detail has been provided at the northeast comer of the parcel. The revised PUD, based upon direction from City Council and the Planning Commission, reflects a site plan configuration with the addition to the west of the existing building. Council supported the presented option, which does require a rear setback variance of twenty-feet but would retain the four parking spaces on site. The option also preserves more of an open feeling at the comer with the addition of approximately 300 sf of 29
