Shipman stated that, if Council added the total tree quantity with the 14 trees that are on their property, there is a total of 59 trees. The Guidelines state 53 perimeter trees and 10 interior trees, so they are four trees short without any shrub calculations, compensating them for trees. He felt they could find room for four trees. Wood took exception to the number of trees, because the Planning Commission moved the entry feature back into the property, because HSG had dedicated Tract A to the City of Louisville. Therefore, they did not want the entry feature sitting out in Tract A. The Planning Commission gave them credit for the six trees on that. They did not give them credit for the four trees along the eastern right-of-way. He felt the shortage still held. Davidson called for Council comments. Howard asked if the applicants were willing to bring the project in compliance with the Guidelines. Avery stated that they would add four trees tonight. Sisk moved that Council continue Resolution No. 47, Series 1995, to September 19 to allowing Ruby Tuesday to come into compliance with the Gateway Guidelines. He hoped Ruby Tuesday would have a representative at that meeting. Seconded by Lathrop. All in favor except Howard and Davidson, with Levihn being absent. Mayer stated that when Ruby Tuesday comes back he wanted compliance with the Gateway standards. He wanted the applicant to accept full responsibility for the storm sewer easement. If so, he would accept landscaping in that area. He would look at the trees around the building, if they hadn't already been included. Also, the area by the entry could be included. Lathrop and Sisk stated that they would go to Denver to look at the Ruby Tuesday to observe the project. RESOLUTION NO. 48, SERIES 1995 - APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION NO. 73, SERIES 1992 FOR RIDGEVIEW ESTATES Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that this is to amend a condition of approval for Ridgeview Estates on Lots 67 and 68: "Walk out basements shall be prohibited on Lots 67 & 68 and the rear building elevation on Lot 67 shall be restricted to a garden level." He pointed out that these lots back up against dedicated open space. The applicant requested that the amendment be revised to state that those lots shall be limited to one-story, ranch construction homes only, walkout basements are allowed, maximum overall building height from finish grade to peak of roof shall not exceed 31' from the rear building elevation. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. 9
