Zonin~ for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - Commercial District. (SR92:281) Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing open on the application. Marsha Classen represented Centers Business Management, who as of July 1, 1992 were the new acting property managers. She explained that she agreed to work with staff regarding the parking criteria for new tenants. She stated that the chain linked fence had been creating problems. She explained that the tenants whose businesses do not close until after 9:00 p.m. were having to walk around the buildings in the dark. Ms. Classen pointed cut that juveniles are the problem in the back area and that she has been trying to monitor that area to alleviate this. She explained that they were trying to lease the spaces in the center but because that parking area was closed at such an early time it was difficult. She questioned the liability and safety of having the chained fence. She asked that the gate and chain be removed. Dennis Gade, 2778 Longspur Way, was opposed to removing the chained fence. He explained that the surrounding homeowners had negotiated with the property owners of the plaza. An agreement had been reached that the neighbors wouldn't oppose the expansion of the center with the understanding that this area would be closed with restricted access. The reason to close this area was to create a buffer between the center and the residents. The only consistent problem that presently affects the residents was the Poppy Lounge leaving its back door open. He believed that the chained fence was rarely locked. He felt that the fence did work to alleviate the previous problems. He urged Council to deny the request for removing the fence. Joann Gade, 2778 Longspur Way, stated that there are signs posted around the restricted parking area and that the new tenants should have acknowledged that before taking their space. Nancy Pozzebon, 2808 Longspur Way, asked that the chained fence remain in place. She would like to see the area better patrolled for the safety of the residents. 7/7/92 5
