Bill Simmons, City Administrator, reported that the two-hour parking enforcement, with particular emphasis on the 600 -900 blocks of Main, and the blocks of Pine on each side of Main Street, is tentatively scheduled to begin January 25, 1999. Officers are to issue warning notices initially and, after an appropriate time, proceed to issuing tickets. Warnings will also be issued to any vehicle parked long-term within the commercial core area. Sisk expressed concern that issuing warnings for the first two weeks may send out the wrong message, as some cars could receive numerous warnings within that time. Simmons replied that a time limit for warnings has not been set, it will be up to the Police Department to use judgment as to when a ticket should be issued. A ticket could be issued at any time once the enforcement begins. RESOLUTION NO. 4, SERIES 1999 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR A MODIFIED SIGN PROGRAM FOR RITE AID~ LOT 2, CENTENNIAL VALLEY, PARCEL L 1, REPLAT (CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 5~ 1999) Davidson called for staff introduction. Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that this Resolution is a request to amend the Final PUD, which was approved in July, 1997. There were two wall signs approved, at 35 sf each, one small directional sign for the drive-through pharmacy, and a pharmacy sign that was attached to the canopy of the drive-through. This request is to add the word 'pharmacy' under the word 'Rite Aid' for an additional 10 sf on both elevations, in addition to a second directional sign for the drive-through. This request went before the planning Commission, and they felt that it would be more appropriate to eliminate the current directional sign and approve a directional sign at the northeast comer of the site. This would be more visible to customers in the front of the store who would be looking for the drive-through pharmacy. The second condition is in regard to the pharmacy canopy lighting. The PUD did not reflect any specific lighting underneath the canopy structure. Staff approved a building permit for a fixture with the assumption that it would be recessed into the ceiling. This light is not recessed and, therefore, staff is requesting that shielding detail be added on all sides of the fixture to confine the light directly under the canopy. He introduced Mark Coleman, who was in attendance to represent Rite Aid. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Mark Coleman, 5140 E Arapahoe Road, Littleton, Colorado, stated that they are asking to place the word 'pharmacy' on their building because over seventy percent of Rite Aid's sales come from pharmacy-related items and over-the-counter products. He agreed to add shielding to the pharmacy drive-through canopy lights. He was then available to answer any questions.
