Minutes Planning Commissic 10/23/85 didn't know whether or not he could address that issue. Mr. Schlientz stated that their is only one small area of concern. They are trying to satisfy the neighboring homeowners and meet the concerns of staff with regard to storm drainage and removal of water from the site. Commissioner Lindsey then asked if the difference in the site elevations of 4' was caused primarily by Kindercare. Mr. Schlientz indicated that it was partly caused by them and the only alternative now is to pump the entire site. Commissioner Michelotti discussed the concern of the neighbors concerning the project and asked whether the neighbor s were concerned with the +4' height of the wall or the height of the building. Mr. Schlientz indicated that they propose to landscape a 7' strip and there should be adequate landscaping to shield the building. He further stated there would be no public access to the rear of the building. Commissioner Michelotti asked if there would be any safety problems as far as having a wider setback is concerned - could somebody get behind the homes or the building itself. Mr. Schlientz reiterated that there would be no public access to this area. Mr. Schlientz stated that they agree with the staff report but would like to have the floor area ratio limited to under 30% instead of under 25% as recommended in the staff report which would reduce the building area by 4,000 sq. ft. They agree with the recommended use changes made by the home owners association. Regarding trees, Gum Eucalyptus are messy trees and they would like to replace them. There is one tree, however, they will try to preserve at the request of one of the neighbors. Commissioner Michelotti asked if the staff had any further rendering which showed a close-up of the buildings. Chairman Wilson asked the percentage of lot coverage. Mr. Schlientz stated their proposal is just under 30%. Dave Baxley, 3911 Fairlands Drive, represented the homeowners of the area. He indicated he lives behind the Kindercare facility. He stated if the proposed wall is only 8' they will be able to see in the backyards. The existing wall behind his home is not yet complete. They support staff's recommendation concerning this project, providing they can solve the problems with the walls and landscaping. The uses proposed are fine with the exception of the delicatessen store. They do not object to a nice delicatessen as long as it doesn't become a sandwich shop. They also want laboratories to have a conditional use permit. Mr. Baxley indicated they would like to explore, as part of a community study the relocation of McDonalds. All of the residents' concerns concerning McDonalds have become a reality. He indicated it is used as a truck stop, and refuge for people coming from Santa Rita. .. __ ... . _... ._. _.,Y_.,. ..___._... _ _... _... ._.. ~.
