Sorenson stated that they comply with that completely. Howard preferred a 12 month extension to 18 months. Levihn wanted a shorter extension also, with renewable clause. Lathrop felt it was a quality, deserving project. Davidson agreed with Lathrop. Keany suggested a 12 month extension with the option that staff can extend it an additional six months, if necessary. Mayer moved that Council extend the Garden Path's Temporary Use Permit for 12 months subject to an additional extension of six months, which staff can grant, if a building permit to execute the PUD had been applied for. Seconded by Howard. Lathrop offered a friendly amendment of adding a date certain of June 1, 1996, and the applicants having applied for their building permits. Mayer and seconder, Howard, accepted that. All in favor. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN - FANTASY ORCHIDS Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the applicant had submitted initial documents to amend the PUD at the Cherry Street Technical Park at 830 West Cherry Street to utilize a 1,500 s.f existing ranch house east of the Bank of Louisville, and attach a 9,000 s.f. greenhouse system onto the south of the house for retail and wholesaling orchids. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Stan Gordon, 630 West Juniper Court, Louisville, Colorado, stated that they want to blend the new construction with the old, to appear as one. They have financing in place. Davidson called for Council questions and comments. Mayer commented that signage and lighting would be key issues. Lathrop commented that even though he had owned this property at one time, he did not feel he would have a conflict of interest. He wanted some type of screening on the east side, possibly some type of solid fencing for the greenhouse portion.
