part of the structure can be replaced by an entrance as tenants change in the future. Planning Division staff continues to believe that a public entrance on the eastern side of the building for pedestrian access from Lexington Avenue deserves consideration. 6.4 Part of the proposal includes a 6-foot-tall, wooden privacy fence on the western end of the parking area to buffer the adjacent residence from the parking lot activity. The proposed fence would likely provide adequate screening; a taller one (up to 8 feet in height) might do a better job, but might also feel more imposing. Planning Division staff has sent a letter to the residential property owners to seek their opinion on whether they'd prefer the more "neighborly" feel of the proposed fence or something a little taller. No response had been received at the time this report was written, but the applicant appreciates that staff is trying to work through this issue before offering a recommendation on the height (and perhaps the style) of the fence. 7.0 COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE The applicant held the required open house meeting on January 20, 2009 at the home that would be demolished as a part of the proposal. A summary of the open house is included with this staff report as Attachment F; the attendees did not seem to have any concerns about the proposed GetvErtAL CotvcEPT PUD that have not been addressed. 8.0 8.1 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 4-5 of this report, the Planning Division recommends approval of the requested ttEZOtv�NG. 8.2 Based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 4-7 of this report, the Planning Division recommends approval of the request for an GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVE�oPMetvT to allow the proposed redevelopment, subject to the following conditions: a. b. � the applicant shall continue to work with staff to determine the appropriate location of the southeastern corner of the proposed building; collection of refuse and recyclables from a detached enclosure shall not occur prior to 7:00 a.m.; and the applicant shall continue to work with staff to determine how best to screen the adjacent residential property from parking lot activity. 9.O SUGGESTED ACTION 9.1 By motion, recommend approval of a REZON�NC of the parcels at I 126 Sandhurst Drive and 1167 Lexington Avenue to PUD from R-1 and B-3, respectively, based on the comments and findings of Sections 4-5 of the project report dated March 4, 2009. 9.2 By motion, recommend approval of a GENE[tA[.
