Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 10, 2022 Page 12 of 13 occupied. He discusses market level costs for these units and the costs for building. Howe asks if he can comment on the concurrency of the development of the three lots. Markel says they try to figure out how they can divide so it is in bite size chunks. In talking with development lenders, they like to see spaces separated and phased out. There will have to be some kind of separation for the HOA because that is what they want to see. Brauneis asks which buildings would be energy star certified. Markel says our residential multi -family will be energy star certified. Closinq Statement by Staff. Hassan says they checked the development applications webpage and the latest version of the North End PUD was not on their. The only changes that was not on there were changes to the building height elevations. Zuccaro says the plan set that is online has the exact same site plan and elevations. We worked with the applicant on height elevation waivers, which is what is not shown on the website but it is in the packet. Discussion by Commissioners: Howe says this is a great proposal and seems like there is a lot of support from the community. He is in support of this. It would be nice to have a little more green in the parkway. Moline says he is in support of this. He likes the approach of having phases and the residential being mixed with the commercial. He would be in favor of having a condition in regards to the tree lawn along Hecla and Blue Star. He is in support of the urban orientation that we wanted to see in our comp plan. Hoefner says he sees the height waiver as not being substantial. He is encouraged to see duplexes and triplexes in this proposal. On traffic, he agrees that the majority of them are outside of this application. He is finding himself in support. Osterman is leaning towards being in favor given the support of the community. In terms of the changes in the housing types, that seems appropriate for the area. She thinks the request for the height waiver is reasonable. Regarding the inclusionary housing, she is disappointed the developer is going the fee in lieu option but they can do that because of the code. Brauneis is in favor of this proposal. He is disappointed that there is not on site affordable housing but that is how our code is written. He suggests going to city council with the traffic comments. Howe says it would be nice to have lighting consistent with South Boulder Rd. Brauneis says it seems that will already be in place. Hoefner moves and Howe seconds a motion to approve Resolution No. 16, Series 2022 with the condition that before the applicant goes before city council, they would incorporate the tree lawn plan that was submitted into the packet this evening. Motion passes unanimously by a roll call vote. 14
