Pierce questioned applicant, Tom Maron of Maron & Associates as to the type of retaining wall that would be built. Maron answered that it would be 6 x 6 timber, Pierce asked applicant if he would consider grading to the easement of lot, stating that it would not be required by the Town, but that it would dress -up the proposed duplex lot and enhance his project.

Wood stated that the garden center proposed for City Market was very similar to that previously approved for Planters of Vail in the same location. Explained that previous approval for Planters of Vail was for a 5 year period as long as the structure was not deviated from. Wood noted the following deviations in the City Market application: 1) Main entrance to facility had been revised from south side to west side which coincides with the front of the store; 2) The proposed fence around the facility was previously a 6 foot cedar fence and the proposed fence now is a 6 foot chain link; 3) The covered structure was in- creased in size from 24' x 60' to 36' x 72' and was previously located at the edge of the fence; 4) Approved structure before was constructed of redwood and covered with an 8 mil reinforced poly; the proposed structure now calls for a 4 mil plastic covering; 5) The difference in roof design on covered structure previously was straight shed -type roof with a 1/6 roof pitch and current roof line is a gable type with a 1/9 pitch. Wood stated that there is a problem with drainage in that structure is against the building and the drainage is trapped at the building and questioned the durability of the roof covering. David Mack, architect for City Market office of Grand Junction, stated that they were willing to change the chain link fence to cedar, but wanted to keep the building the size that was presented because the flower department preferred that size. Mack stated that the covering of the structure will be changed to 8 mil reinforced poly and they will move the temporary structure 4 feet away from the building. They do want to keep the pitch of the roof the same because of the larger size of the structure. Wood stated there would be no change in the parking area. Cuny questioned when the structure would be put up and when it would come down. Davis questioned if City Market was asking for similar approval as Planters of Vail regarding approval for 5 years. Blair stated that possibly this was amendment to the second year of the 5 year approval that was given to Planters of Vail. Davis stated that if they have the same structural plan next year, they won't have to come before the Commission for approval and if they do change the plan, they will have to reapply to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Lamont stated that was correct, but needed clarification as to dates when structure was to be put up and to be taken down. Wood questioned applicant if May 1 was acceptable for construction of greenhouse structure and October 31 as date to take down structure. Applicant agreed with those dates. Pierce stated that these dates should apply to the remaining years on the approval. Watkins motioned to approve the City Market garden center on Lots 67 and 68, Block 2, Benchmark Subdivision with the provision that the fence be made of cedar not to exceed 6 feet in height; that the plastic material be 8 mil; that the structure be moved 4 feet away from the existing building; including an additional entrance be added to the south side of the fence; that the construction start no earlier than May 1 and that it be removed no later than October 31 and approval granted for 4 years. Landauer seconded. Passed unanimously. Planning and Zoning Meeting Minutes April 26, 1984 Page 4 of 6 Nottingham Park Restrooms - Tract G. Block 2. B.S. Pierce stepped down from discussion due to a conflict of interest. Vice Chairman Blair presided over Nottingham Park Restrooms discussion. Wood presented the drawings and stated that the proposed location is in the northeast corner of Nottingham Park and will provide service for a major part of the park. The design of the building is an attempt to coordinate design with the log cabin and Municipal Building. The proposed material for the restrooms is redwood which is presently on Municipal Building; roof material will be cedar shingles. Wood reiterated that with this combination, the idea is to coordinate the Municipal Building, log cabin and restrooms in the park area. The outside entrance is 4 feet wide to control the entrance and heat loss in winter. Blair questioned architect of project, Bill Pierce of Intratect, as to why there was only one door when it may become congested. Pierce stated that one door was used to minimize size and cost of building. Davis felt that this could be a potential problem when there was heavy use and activity in the park. Landauer felt that cedar siding would work better due to weathering factor and blending in with other buildings in the area. Wood stated that the redwood would add a more finished design to the project. Cuny motioned to approve the Nottingham Park restrooms as proposed in the drawings with the addition of the interior doors for the stalls which were not on the drawing. Watkins seconded. Passed unanimously. Lod a at Avon, Phase I, Lots 57-60, Block 2, B.S. - Conce tual Review Pierce steppe own from discussion due to a con ict of interest. Vice Chairman Blair presided over Lodge at Avon discussion. Bill Pierce, applicant, stated that zoning for this parcel is TC and is zoned for 70 units. It will be a multi -phase project and the first phase will be in the upper northeast corner of the parcel along Benchmark Road. The first phase will contain 31 condominium units and is intended to be operated as a hotel - condominium project. The first phase contains 13,500 S.F. of commercial space on the first floor. Pierce also stated that the first phase will have surface parking that runs along the south property line adjacent to the railroad tracks; later phases will require that this surface parking become a parking structure that runs along the entire south end of the parcel, but because of the grading of the parcel, it will be 3 stories at east end, 2 stories at center, and 1 story at far west end. Access road off of Avon Road will be handled by developers and Highway Department for improvements. Pierce explained that this phased project will have 3 and 4 stories and each unit will have lock -off capacity. The developer feels this is necessary to make the project work. The smallest unit is 1,011 S.F. and the most common unit is 1,060 S.F. and there are 7 different types of units.

Davis commente that or a conceptua oo -see a wou rat er see, even though it is a phased project, the whole project rather than phases, and even though it may or may not be built, it makes a difference if it is or isn't going to be built. Felt that a model of the project would be suitable to show relation to other buildings in the area. Blair stated that this is an important point because there isn't a model of the town and this would show how this project would fit in with the rest of the projects and buildings within the TC zone. Blair went on to say that this project should be able to support itself without other phases; it isn't known whether other phases will be built or not. Landauer addressed the impact of lock -offs on the parking requirements. Pierce stated that there is room to adjust the number of parking spaces; there are presently 135 spaces and there is room for 250 spaces. Commission members discussed the parking structure and pedestrian flow in mall area at length. Pierce explained that the concept of this building is a traditional lodge. Davis stated that some types of design in town have already been established as to what the look is and would like to see them be somewhat harmonious in appearance instead of all of the buildings looking different; asked if this would fit in with everything else. Pierce stated that the colors the developers have in mind are light gray stucco, darker gray trim on windows, blended with wood shingle siding and large trim around windows would be white and larger doors would be a silver -green color. There will be a number of awnings dressing the structure, possibly a burgundy color. Commission members in general felt that the project was a good one, but can still use more study, especially regarding the way it will fit in with other projects in the area. No formal action was taken, only conceptual comments were made. Other Business Lamont briefly commented on the TDR paper enclosed in packets. Comments were also made on the Colorado Ute roadcut on Metcalf Road. Sign Code needs more diligent work and attention. Watkins stated that the Post Master in Grand Junction was planning on being present at the May 24, 1984 regular meeting. There being no further business to discuss, Landauer motioned to adjourn the meeting. Davis seconded. Passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:17 PM. spectfully Subm' ed, �Margare M.
