Assistant Community Development Director Tmdgeon stated mesh is a good word. He indicated <br />they are slicing up a piece of the project here, but what happens with the trickle down affect is <br />what they are discussing with the master developer. He indicated it is tough to focus on <br />something small instead of the big picture, and Staff is trying to reconcile how to do that, but if <br />this moves forward it would change that piece of the master plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy commented if they are having residential by big box retail they will <br />need good transition. <br /> <br />Mr. Ishland advised if the area remains residential as it calls out for, they would have a heavily <br />planned transition area. He indicated the other area of residential may become mixed-use, with <br />retail below and residential above. He noted on the site plan that the dashed line represents the <br />line between TC-2 and TC-4b. He indicated as mentioned, the footprint they used is for a known <br />big box retailer, and not an arbitrary footprint. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated that compared to the old plan it looks like there is more parking. He <br />asked what the differences are in percentages. <br /> <br />Mr. Voss indicated they have not formally studied the parking plan, but there is a little more <br />sense of scale to their plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Ishland stated the code calls for 4:1, which is almost right on with what they have. He stated <br />they have put it to scale and taken a conceptual guess of what the tenants could be. <br /> <br />Commissioner Watson stated he would really like to see them drill down to keep it pedestrian <br />friendly. He thinks it is a critical piece of the entire development, and Ms. Hunter stated it well <br />in her letter. <br /> <br />Mr. Voss agreed. He stated they will be looking for the trail / sidewalk document, which they do <br />not have yet, but will integrate into their plans. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated at some point he would be interested to have a longer dialog if there <br />are marketing issues. He indicated as you look from the grocery store to the northwest it looks <br />like a mall, whereas it was meant to be the center of the development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shepherd agreed, stating one building that bothers her is the 30,000 square foot <br />store. She indicated they should be getting smaller as it gets closer to the residential area, not <br />bigger. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy indicated on the northwest comer, he has heard several times people <br />have concerns. He stated there are three spaces, and he wonders if they may be able to separate <br />them and move the smaller ones along Sunwood. <br /> <br />Commissioner Watson stated he wanted to echo what Commissioner Van Scoy said about that <br />corner. He indicated maybe drawing the buildings closer to Sunwood would help. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/April 1, 2004 <br /> Page 21 of 22 <br /> <br /> <br />
