<br />Member Rhody asked for clarification on edition 9 and 10 of the plans. Mr. <br />Olson illustrated how the building moved 5 feet. <br /> <br />Member Egli recommended a larger space between buildings and asked for <br />details of the maintenance. John Olson explained a contractor would maintain <br />the area; the distance between businesses is necessary for fire doors. Lighting <br />will be included with subdued lighting. Fire exits do require safety lighting. <br /> <br />Chair Klausing closed the hearing. <br /> <br />Chair Klausing observed that this is a tough balancing act between proposals <br />and adjacent existing properties. He asked if changes to the east wall improved <br />the design. <br /> <br />Member Rhody noted that the Olson Lab is requesting significant changes. The <br />benefits to the neighborhood may be masked by fear such as improved drainage; <br />improved design and also the ties; traffic circulation and noise buffer from <br />traffic along Lexington in rush hours. He was concerned about landscaping. <br /> <br />Janet Olson noted the Cornerstone program is just guidelines and the proposed <br />setbacks are not enough; we need to retain green space. <br /> <br />Motion: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Rhody, moved to <br />recommend approval of the concept development plan for a 8,417 sJ. addition <br />to the 4,000 s.f. office and retail building planned unit development at the <br />northeast corner of the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Roselawn. <br /> <br />Ayes: 4, Mulder, Rhody, Egli, Klausing <br />Nays: 2, Olson, Cunningham <br /> <br />Motion passes: 4/2 <br />
