Grant: They're for rain protection as well so code -wise; every door requires four feet of cover so they're a minimum of four feet. Commissioner Balch: And my other question was that staff's report mentioned the north elevation; the queueing elevation. Any comments on that or any thoughts on their request to spruce up the wall to the hotel? Grant: Yes, we can accommodate that. Commissioner Nagler: Eric, could you go back to the site plan? So, I hate to go back and talk about version five or whatever it turned out to be, but I'll just ask. It's two separate buildings because of the requirement for the driveway? Is that right? Grant: No, it was two separate buildings because the City really felt that by slitting the buildings you got something on Owens and we were also able to screen the queueing. Commissioner Nagler: So what happens if you extended A -1 further towards Larkspur Drive and, I don't know if it's possible, but you weren't required to circulate the cars back into the parking lot but instead, all the cars from the driveway exited out to Larkspur Drive and you move the .... I'm just pretending that the parking requirement isn't above.... Grant: ... that there isn't one Commissioner Nagler: So you extend the building. You therefore lengthen the queue. You shield the queue, right? You exit the cars, as Commissioner Brown was suggesting, out to Larkspur Drive. You move the dumpster and like that to some other place and we then secondarily worry about the loss of parking spaces. Is that a possibility? Grant: Well, parking requirements are there for a reason. Commissioner Nagler: Well no, just to say out loud. If, for example.... Grant: ....Based on the geometry of the site, is it possible to do that? Commissioner Nagler: If you weren't required to have that driveway to re- circulate the cars out into the parking lot and therefore didn't take up the space of that driveway, you know, exiting and therefore put a couple of more parking spaces there, right? See what I'm saying? Grant: Well, I understand what you're saying about exiting directly to Larkspur and in a perfect world we would do that. I mean, we would have done that from Day 1. In fact, one of our earlier concepts have that when we had a singular building. Commissioner Nagler: It doesn't need to be a singular building. Grant: I understand, but the reality is that based on the parking requirement for the square footage that we're proposing and the uses that we're proposing, the parking PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, September 28, 2016 Page 21 of 32
