PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED . In response to Commissioner McGuirk, Ms. Watt advised there are 77 feet between the church and Building A. Commissioner Wright inquired of staff why some buildings only have wall-mounted lights. Ms. Watt advised that the original PUD required pole lights with directional heads away from the residences on Kolln Street. However, some later buildings were put in without following this condition. Staff advised the applicant could request a minor modification to the original PUD to eliminate the requirement of pole-mounted lights. The topic of flipping the buildings was discussed at length. The two buildings could be oriented towards each other with the loss of two parking spaces. Commissioner Wright concurs with staff that the south side of the church is an active side, they have always used the side door for access, and the Church does have daytime activities. He concurs with staff's recommendation to flip the building, and feels the proximity of the parking stays relatively the same. He further suggested that Building B be flipped toward Building C. Staff's major concern for these buildings has been noise, not the lighting. Commissioner Wright feels the wall-mounted lighting offers greater control for light spillage. He would support the minor modification by the applicant. Commissioner Barker noted her concurrence with the comments of Commissioner Wright. . Commissioner Cooper feels that since the church chose to locate in an industrial area, they should expect some type of industrial activity. He does feel that flipping the two buildings is a good idea and would not require the pole lights. Commissioner McGuirk does not support the staff's recommendations for change with respect to the adjacent church. If there is a way to work it out to the benefit of the applicant, he would support it; if the applicant agrees to staff's recommendations, Commissioner McGuirk is willing to leave it as it is. However, he does concur with staff in requiring the pole lights because it is a requirement of the PUD. The applicant has the ability to seek a PUD minor modification. He would like to see the applicant run his business as he sees fit. Commissioner Wright advised Commissioner McGuirk he didn't support flipping the buildings just because of it being adjacent to the church, but because flipping the building increased the distance between the buildings. Commissioner Barker noted that trucks being there on Sundays could be a problem to the church. Commissioner Dove commented that be was somewhat ambivalent of the orientation of tl1e buildings, but he can support staff's recommendations. Commissioner Wright motioned, seconded by Commissioner Barker, approving Case Z-96-77, . subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B, with the following modifications: Planning Commission Minutes Page 8 May 22, 1996
