Town Planner Trotter outlined the subdivision and development permit processes. The property legal is the north half of lots 27-30, Block 5, Town of Eastom, Fraser.. ! Fraser Planning Commission August 23, 2006 Page 2 The property consists of 7997 SF. The applicant is proposing to construct a 2560 SF two story building. The upper level will consist of two (2) 1280 SF /3 bedroom condominium residential units. The lower level with consist of four (4) 640 SF garages. The two outer garage units will provide parking for the 2 residential condo units, and the 2 inner garages will be sold as separate commercial/condo garage units. The applicant has provided 48% open space. The open space requirement for a mixed use residential/ commercial subdivision such as this requires 40% open space. The East Grand Fire District has a concern as to the types and quantity of hazardous items which may be stored in the commercial/condo garages with residential living spaces above. "There are restrictions to this type of mixed use in the Fire Code. The PC may want to consider restricting or eliminating the storage of hazardous materials in these garages. The other alternative is to build sufficient fire separation and fire suppression, which would allow most hazardous materials to be stored under a residence. " The Town of Fraser is also concerned about the potential uses in the commercial/ condo garage units. Staff is suggesting that a note be added to the plat that states the following: "Units 2 & 3 (or B & C) are garage units that may be used for non-hazardous material storage purposes only and may not be used or occupied for residential purposes. In addition, any additional use requires a revised development permit in accordance with the Town of Fraser Business Zone Regulations. " Town Planner discussed the Condominium Declarations and how they conflict with the Town of Fraser's water protection district ordinance. The Declarations will need to be revised. TP reviewed the water and sewer easements and noted that the reception numbers are not listed on the plat. Revised drainage plan/ erosion control will be required. Other issues: no current title commitment; no zoning listed on subject or adjacent properties; no articles of incorporation; and 15% of gross land area must be landscaped, thus the landscaping plan needs to be revised. The applicant presented the submittal. The drainage plan will be revised and re- submitted. A question from the audience was asked about how big the garages are and how many cars can be parked inside. Discussions continued about potential uses in the commercial/condo garage units and parking requirements. Discussions continued about the building aesthetics and physical land use, due to snow storage and alley access issues. Comm. Sumrall suggested that we add a plat note stating that access to this property is off the alley and the alley receives low priority on snow removal. Exterior concerns are discussed. Public comment was taken. Direction was given to the applicant and options offered up for consideration. Comm. Shapiro moved and Comm. Smith seconded the motion to continue the public hearing.
