Regular Agenda Items - 7:35 PM Meyers Ranch - Info, -mal Discussion - Proposed Development Wood stated this discussion is to bring the Commission up to date on what is being proposed for the Meyers Ranch parcel which is located immediately west of the Sunridge project. The proposed development consists of 200, 1 and 2 bedroom units, Architect Kevin Kreuz and developer John Werner are here to make presentation. John Werner of Republic Investment Corporation and developer of proposed project stated that he became aware of the Meyers Ranch property 6 months ago. He stated his concept is geared primarily to an out of state market, with prices starting in the mid $60's. He explained his starting point was 210 units, and would not be a problem in theory, but the configuration of the site, which is awkward, poses a problem. Kevin Kreuz of DeGette Armon Kreuz architects stated that they were retained to do a feasibility study to find out how realistic it would be to put multi -family housing on this property. He explained that 210 units are proposed with 70% 1 bedroom units and 30% 2 bedroom units. For budget reasons, there will be surface parking. The parcel has an hour glass shape. Sunridge is to the east, Highway 6 is to the sou'=h, the Eagle River is on the north, and Arrowhead borders on the west. Kreuz went on to explain the site layout from plans presented for review. He stated that the main goal is to maintain the beauty of the property. The units will be oriented to the river, which is considered a special amenity. Kreuz presented plans for Commission review and explained the concept. He stated that i.f they followed the literal interpretation of the code for parking, they would be in trouble. He asked that Commission consider a comparison of the Sunridge project. He explained that Sunridge has 198 residential units of 2 and 3 bedrooms, with 270 to 260 parking spaces. Developer is proposing 190 units with 225 parking spaces. With 1 bedroom units predominating, there is a much lower density per unit than at Sunridge. He stated that they were requesting a comparison approach rather than a literal approach.

Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes September 16, 1986 Page 3 of 5 Lot 1 Blk 1 BM G BC - Pester Gas Station - Sign Variance and Design Review Wright stated that Pester Marketing is requesting variances from the Sign Code for signs they propose to install on the site in conjunction with planned site improvements. Wright explained that the proposed project ID sign is 30 feet in height, with an area of 75 square feet per side, and will be located where the flagpole now stands. The existing price sign is 11 feet high, with 40 square feet per side, and applicant is proposing to leave it where it stands. If the price sign is allowed to stay, it will need a variance from the 1C foot setback because it currently sits about 5 feet off the property line. They will need a variance for the sign area on the project ID sign because the total area of the 2 signs pushes it ..o approximately 229 square feet, where the allowable signage for the site is 92 square feet. Wright then explained Section 15.28.0720 of the Sign Code, and Section 15.28.080(q)6 of the Sign Code to the Commission. Galloway stated that they need both the price and ID sign. He then presented color rendering of the proposed sign for Commission review. He stated that the ID sign would replace the flag pole.. Discussion followed. Cuny felt that the ID sign should be aesthetically pleasing. She did not feel that Pester was an interstate gas station, but more a part of the Town. She felt that a 30 foot sign was too high. Discussion followed. Landauer and Reynolds agreed that price and ID sign could be incorporated into one sign to reduce square footage. Discussion followed. Commission concurred that application be continued so that additional or revised information regarding square footage of the signs could be submitted. Blair thanked Galloway for his presentation.

Thompson presented rendering for Commission review. She stated that the sign will be located on the southeast corner of the property. Reynolds asked if the sign could be made smaller.
