The applicant presented a number of drawings and the Commission looked over the drawings and asked a few questions of the applicant. Commissioner Wolfe asked staff about the concerns regarding the entryway. The applicant said the colored elevations were correct, and the stone did not go all the way to the top. It goes only to the wainscot and returns to stucco, just as on the current buildings. Greg Barrows, representing the applicant, said he concurs with all staff recommendations on the final design. He asked specifically about compliance with condition number three, regarding the need to issue a building permit at the same time for both the timeshare and commercial structure. Ms. Borne responded by saying that this was a condition of the development agreement. Commissioner Sipes asked for a clarification on the relationship of the stucco and wood detail.

Commissioner Wolfe asked about the temporary windows for connection to Phase 3. Commissioner Karow said the application meets the design criteria. Commissioner Sipes thanked the applicant for clarification and work on the project, and asked about the roll up garage door trim. The applicant said that they could add trim to the front door also, since that represented the main doorway to the project and should at least have the same treatment as the garage door. Commissioner Sipes asked about the first color sheet, and requested that they study the detail of Phase 1 b (North Elevation), specifically about the termination of the mansard roof above the garage door. Commissioner Smith said she supports the design as presented. Commissioner McClinton had no comments. Chairman Evans asked the applicant to submit a few details as discussed for further review, and he also asked about the Staff recommendation regarding the water feature and why it was not included. Ms. Borne said it should be included in the list of conditions. Chairman Evans Minutes of P &Z Meeting May 7, 2002 Page 3 said that he wanted a condition regarding the changing of materials.

Lots 18 & 19, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek (6:50pm- 7:10pm) 281 Metcalf Road Walkin The Dog /Doggie Day Care Applicant: Marisa Cantrell Mr. Katieb made the staff presentation. He briefly reviewed the proposed conditions, and had handed out a letter of objection to the proposal from a current tenant of the building. Chairman Evans asked why this is a special review use and not a use by right in this type of zoning district. Mr. Katieb stated that the Zoning Administrator determined that Minutes of P&Z Meeting May 7, 2002 Page 4 this was a SRU in the IC zone district since it was not specifically called out as a use by right. Chairman Evans asked what type of use this would be under zoning. Mr. Katieb clarified that there is no specific category that currently exists for the use other than what has been applied for and determined to fit within the general character of the zone district. He explained that once the zoning administrator determined that this use could be applied for in this zone district, it had to come in as a special review use. Commissioner Wolfe stated he was concerned that noise may be an issue with the dogs. Commissioner Sipes said in the IC district noise is expected to a different level than in other zone districts, especially considering the uses by right. The applicant, Marisa Cantrell, made a brief presentation. She stated that noise is not usually an issue. She also described the interior and the preventive measures taken to prevent any odors or noise from leaving the premises. She said that the noise generated by an existing woodshop in the building would be far greater than the noise she expects her business to generate. Commissioner Wolfe asked if the customers need an appointment. Mrs. Cantrell stated that there is an interview process and that there will be appointments necessary before she will accept any dog. Commissioner Wolfe asked about spacing the arrivals. Mrs. Cantrell stated that she will make times for arrivals and plans to stagger them, possibly opening earlier so that people on their way to work can drop the dogs off at different times. Commissioner Wolfe asked how are the animals delivered. Mrs. Cantrell states that she is going to work on that and would potentially have her staff walk dogs in from cars to make the drop off and pick up easier. She stated that she understand parking cannot be an issue, and will ask her customers to comply with the limited parking available on the site. The hearing was opened for public comments by the Chairman. No comments were received. Public comment period was closed by Chairman Evans. Commissioner Sipes began deliberation saying that the application meets the criteria. Commissioner Karow agrees. Commissioner Wolfe was concerned about the deliveries of the dogs. It meets the requirements for SRU, however he is thinking about less than a one -year review. Commissioner Sipes added that this is different than a residential area special review use and causes him less concern. Chairman Evans suggested that the staggered drop off language should not be added. This meets the guidelines as proposed. Just don't affect the other tenant parking spaces. Commissioner Karow made a motion to approve Resolution 02 -03 with conditions 1 -7 as proposed by staff, deleting condition number three. Commissioner Sipes seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IX. Minor Projects (7:10pm- 7:15pm) A. Lot 1, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek 0063 Nottingham Road Phillips "66" Lighting Applicant: Bill Anderson /Phillips "66" Retail Construction Manager Minutes of P &Z Meeting May 7, 2002 Page 5 Chairman Evans asked what happened to the Phillips 66 lighting violation. Mr. Katieb described what happened, and discussed the approval of a new lighting program that complies with the original program issued for Coastal Mart. He said the changes should take place the week of May 20th and that the Phillips 66 representatives have been very responsive to correcting the violation. B. Lot 6, Block 2, Wildridge 2864 O'Neal Spur Deck Addition Applicant: The Reynolds Corporation X. Other Business A. Training for Commissioners - Tuesday, May 21, 2002, 3:00 p.m., Council Chambers B. Lots 67/68 Block 1 Benchmark at Beaver Creek Elevation revisions Mr. Katieb reminded the Commissioners that Andy Hill of DOLA will be conducting a planning commission 'training workshop' from 3:00 to 5:00 on the 21St of May. All Commissioners said they could be present, with the exception of Commissioner McClinton. Commissioner Karow asked what the changes were to the elevations for Petro Hut. Mr. Katieb stated that the roof forms appear pitched, but is unsure what the pitch is. Also, the pitched roofs are not considered architectural projections and are now a height issue at least on the main roof. Commissioner Sipes stated that it appears that the roof goes all of the way back. Commissioner Evans said the height appears to be at 39 feet on the main roof with this type of design. The form and massing is good, but the height is in violation. Commissioner Karow states that A3.1 is the only place with the height violation. Mr. Katieb states that A3.2 also appears over height. Commissioner Sipes says that they are on the right track, but need to get the height to comply with the zoning requirements. Commissioner Karow asked about the neon signs at Chapel Square. Mr. Johnson clarified the use of the signs and the sign program for Chapel Square. XI. Adjourn (7:20) Commissioner Sipes motioned to adjourn at 7:20pm. Commissioner Karow seconded the motion.
