Attachment A <br />consequence of reducing the parking lot, and therefore supported Mr. Paschke's suggestion for "proof of <br />parking" for future reference. <br />Commissioner poherty concurred with that concern, that if adequate parking were not available on site, <br />people would park on Sandhurst, creating extremely adverse outcomes. <br />Commissioner Gottfried supported the parking being built as required for the building's tenants. <br />Commissioner Martinson expressed concern regarding the traffic visibility triangle and customary speeds <br />of traffic. <br />Mr. Paschke noted Condition A and ongoing discussions between the applicant and staff on final <br />placement of the building. <br />Commissioner Boerigter noted the competing uses at that signalized intersection and nature of the <br />generic safety triangle without looking at the specific location in question; and spoke in support of the <br />proposed location, noting expressed concerns. <br />Commissioner poherty concurred with Commissioner Boerigter. <br />Mr. Paschke noted similar examples in the community related to encroaching on the safety triangle; noted <br />that the code was created in the 1980's, and that the community had grown considerably since the 1930's <br />and 1940's when parcels were originally platted. Mr. Paschke advised that the concerns brought forward <br />tonight would be included in ongoing discussions and addressed prior to development and presentation of <br />final plans. <br />Commissioner Gottfried noted the need for consistency as this land use designation was initiated. <br />Commissioner Boerigter opined that, in looking at the overall picture and listening to testimony, this land <br />use should provide a more positive aspect to the neighborhood in the long run, as this area was <br />redeveloped into a business node; and opined that there should be nominal impact to the neighborhood <br />while fitting into what the City was trying to accomplish in redevelop those nodes. <br />Chair Bakeman, while originally sharing neighborhood concerns, opined that those concerns had now <br />been somewhat alleviated; and further opined that this proposed use fit with the neighborhood with <br />appropriate screening. Chair Bakeman expressed some concerns with pedestrian and bicycle traffic that <br />staff and the applicant needed to further address; but overall, she opined that it was a pretty good project. <br />Ayes: 7 <br />Nays: 0 <br />Motion carried. <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />
