Mr. Sweeney indicated the uncertainty is the problem. If this site is allocated a higher trip generation, it means less can be imputed to other lots in the business park and that affects the square footage allowed on those lots. Jeffrey Krehbiel, 1300 E. Lewis, Wichita, Kansas, Architect for Summerfield Hotel, referred to conditions regarding design. There have been several design issues raised and changes have been made to the original proposal. He believed that there is considerable variation in the architecture styles and materials in Hacienda Business Park and disagreed that the hotel design should fit in with the style, since there is none. He did not believe adding brackets (Condition 5b) would supplement the style of the building. He disagreed with Condition #5 and #6. He agreed to work with the staff regarding the colors of the building and the roof. They will be lighter than shown on the renderings. He also requested Condition//24 be amended to allow longer construction hours, since the site is surrounded by business uses and not residential areas. Ms. Dennis asked which direction the buildings would face and indicated the western exposure will not have any shadows unless the caves are extended. Mr. Krehbiel indicated all entries and windows are recessed about twelve feet from the face of the roof and the corners are the only locations without overhangs of some sort. Walkways on the second and third floor will create a shadowline. They tried to create contrast in the roof lines, etc. They were not designed for sun control, merely to give interest. Ms. Michelotti referred to discussion at the Planning Commission regarding extending the caves which would require a change to the roof pitch. Mr. Krehbiel explained that eaves would change the way the roof was framed, not the pitch. Angelina Summers, 4750 Sutter Gate Avenue, spoke in support of this proposal. She indicated the company she works for would benefit from a hotel like this and pointed out there are convenient services nearby for the occupants of the hotel. She liked having the entrance on Chabot Drive. Ms. Dennis suggested approving a lower trip generation and performing a study in the future. Adjustments could be made if necessary. Mr. Sweeney stated there is a finite amount of development left in Hacienda Business Park and they have to impute less trip generation to each lot based on this project. He agreed a study could be done later, but in the interim he urged adoption of the lower trip generalion figure. Ms. Mohr stated that if it turns out there is a higher rate Mr. Sweeney would have to deduct square footage from the last lot developed. - 7 - 11/05/96
