Dan Stuber, 3610 Reflections Drive, is the residence that is most impacted by this project. He feels this project will devalue their properties. He has experience with managing mini-storage facilities. Traffic patterns are such that there is traffic in the morning, afternoon, and weekends. He feels the traffic is understated in the staff report. Plan 1 is not acceptable. Option 4 is the most reasonable for everyone. Derrick Dinelli, 3663 Reflections Drive, stated the general consensus of the neighborhood meeting was that they do not have a problem with the proposed project, only the proposed access on Reflections Drive. The environmental report speaks to animal and plant life, but nothing is said about human life. Relocating the entrance is the most viable, it will not affect their property values, it is acceptable to Pegasus Group, and it works well with the proposed future street widening. Jim Carlson, 3666 Reflections Drive, does not understand trying to blend commercial property with residential property. He is opposed to the entrance on Reflections Drive. This street is only the length of one house. Commercial trucks will have difficulty turning and may use their residential streets. Thomas Hing-Wah Tsg, 3626 Reflections Drive, is also opposed to the entrance on Reflections Drive. Mr. Davis again advised that they seek the Commission's direction, they want to be cooperative with staff and the residents. Commissioner Kumaran asked about the ease of large trucks making right turns. Mr. Davis advised they will not allow the large semi-trucks in because they can't turn around. The size of trucks allowable will be the 12-14 foot rental trucks. Mr. Carter advised that the site is planned to accommodate a fire truck. In clarification, Mr. Iserson stated that the proposed widening of Stanley and this project are scheduled for construction at about the same time. The deceleration lane would be done by the applicant if the access is from Stanley. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Wright feels Plan 1 is the safest option. This property had been previously planned to have access from Reflections Drive before the Reflections development was constructed. It was known before the houses were constructed. Regarding stacking problems, Commissioner Wright suggested the entry area be made longer. Chair Barker would like to see the right-in right-out off of Stanley Blvd. She is in favor of preserving the Reflections neighborhood. She would also agree to Option 3. Commissioner Dove advised that this use probably has the least amount of traffic than any other use that could go here. He compared it to the ELI project. From the standpoint of safety, using the traffic light would be much safer. Planning Commission Minutes Page 16 May 14, 1997
