of the building. We feel that what we're presenting tonight, what we're showing you, looking for <br /> your feedback is a solution that makes sense. It's reflective of our substantial efforts to reach <br /> that 12 car requirement even though we're one car short. So we're open to discussion about <br /> that issue. I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have on the architecture too. <br /> Commissioner Balch: Those are canvas awnings? <br /> Grant: Those are canvas. <br /> Commissioner Balch: Okay and how far do those project out? Are they for the sun or are they <br /> actually for rain protection as well? <br /> Grant: They're for rain protection as well so code-wise; every door requires four feet of cover <br /> so they're a minimum of four feet. <br /> Commissioner Balch: And my other question was that staff's report mentioned the north <br /> elevation; the queueing elevation. Any comments on that or any thoughts on their request to <br /> spruce up the wall to the hotel? <br /> Grant: Yes, we can accommodate that. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: Eric, could you go back to the site plan? So, I hate to go back and talk <br /> about version five or whatever it turned out to be, but I'll just ask. It's two separate buildings <br /> because of the requirement for the driveway? Is that right? <br /> Grant: No, it was two separate buildings because the City really felt that by slitting the buildings <br /> you got something on Owens and we were also able to screen the queueing. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: So what happens if you extended A-1 further towards Larkspur Drive <br /> and, I don't know if it's possible, but you weren't required to circulate the cars back into the <br /> parking lot but instead, all the cars from the driveway exited out to Larkspur Drive and you <br /> move the....l'm just pretending that the parking requirement isn't above.... <br /> Grant: ...that there isn't one. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: So you extend the building. You therefore lengthen the queue. You <br /> shield the queue, right? You exit the cars, as Commissioner Brown was suggesting, out to <br /> Larkspur Drive. You move the dumpster and like that to some other place and we then <br /> secondarily worry about the loss of parking spaces. Is that a possibility? <br /> Grant: Well, parking requirements are there for a reason. <br /> Commissioner Nagler: Well no, just to say out loud. If, for example.... <br /> Grant ....Based on the geometry of the site, is it possible to do that? <br /> Commissioner Nagler: If you weren't required to have that driveway to re-circulate the cars out <br /> into the parking lot and therefore didn't take up the space of that driveway, you know, exiting <br /> and therefore put a couple of more parking spaces there, right? See what I'm saying? <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 10 of 20 <br />et in depth to 38 feet and we agreed to do that because we needed <br /> to come much closer to that 12 car queueing requirement. I had a discussion today with Adam <br /> about the agreement that I felt that we had as a result of one of the recent meetings where we <br /> had the 10 cars and the traffic report said 12 cars, and it was our understanding that if we <br /> could get one more car—if we could get to the 11th car—than that would be an acceptable <br /> solution because it's not a perfect size. It could be 13, it could be 12, it could be 11. We were <br /> at 10 and we were able to modify the site plan. It took a lot of effort to manipulate all of the <br /> different pieces and make sure we were satisfying the accessibility requirements and the <br /> distribution. At one time we had the two handicapped cars for accessible parking spaces <br /> located in front of Building A, but the request was made, can you get one car related to each <br /> building, and so we were able to do that. <br /> So, we're very hopeful because you know we're kind of up against the wall. That 12th car; the <br /> comment was made well, can we make Building B shallower. Well, we really can't. We really <br /> can't take another 20 feet for that 12th car out of the depth of Building B because then we're <br /> looking at a building's that probably 20 feet deep or we have to severely carve into the corner <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 9 of 20 <br />ructural control such as an oil/water separator or sand filter.
