Hearing none, she moved on. Public Iiearin~s Rendezvous East Mountain Planning Area 6E FPDP minor amendment East Mountain Filiag 3 Preliminary Plat Mayor Howlett moved, and Comm. Sumrall seconded the motioa to open the Public Hearing. Motion carried: 5-0. Following is summary review by staff of the r rliP amendment and the preliminary plat, concurrently: o Streets and Parking The approved r rLP for this development site provided for a roadway that would loop through the site, connected at Rendezvous Road at both ends. Due to grade concerns, the applicants have proposed to amend that design and provide for two dead end streets. These roadways were initially proposed as public streets, however, this design provided a series of concerns that the applicants propose to resolve by platting the roadway as a private drive. These concerns included private parking in the public right of way, snow management coordination issues with the multiple wide drives, and relocation of ýÿ Planning Commission Minutes 06/23/04 Page 2 retaining walls further from the edge of street. Staff has expressed a need to provide for public access easements and gate restrictions on the plat, owners association documents, and FPDP. Even though the internal roadways are to be private, they must still meet Town Zoning Regulations which state "no two way street driving surface shall be less than twenty-four feet (24~ wide". The current plat identifies the roadways as twenty feet (20~ in width with two foot (2~ pans on each side to allow for drainage. The Town has interpreted that to be from the centerline of valley pan flowlines. Thus we recommend that the plans be amended accordingly. The hammerhead turnaround as shown on Discovery Way is located approximately 100 feet from the end of the road. This hammerhead should be relocated to the end of Discovery Way. Also note that this plan results in the elimination of one of three options for extension of an emergency access as contemplated by the annexation agreement and PDD (the other two options are still available) . o Arapaho Trail. The Arapaho Trail is shown as being located within buildings 39 and 15 of the development, as well as running through the designated driveways and parking areas located on Discovery Way. It is also shown to run along the drainage area designated on the south end of Discovery Way and unit 39. These are conflicts that must be resolved as the trail is a requirement of the annexation agreement and PDD. o Snow Storage. Snow storage areas are not specifically identified and as a private drive, Town staff has not conducted a thorough evaluation. o Dimensions. The entrance off of Rendezvous Road into the parking area for units 25 through 30 is not adequately dimensioned to confirm its functionality. The dimensions along the area south of unit 39 must also be shown to confirm setback provisions. o Title. As this request is to amend only a portion of the East Mountain Planning Area 6E FPDP, the title of this drawing set must be revised. Additionally, the legal description shown is for the entire 6E planning area. This shall be corrected to reflect only the area known as Filing 3. o Notes. The notes contained within the FPDP require revision to reflect that this is only a portion of Planning Area 6E. We will also look for notes relative to the private drives and lack of gates on the final plat. Planning Commission Minutes 06/23/04 Page 3 o Handicap Accessibility. State statutes require provisions for accessible dwelling units within multi family developments. The applicants will need to confirm compliance with these requirements. o Covenants. The Applicant shall provide two (2) copies of the proposed restrictive covenants, townhome declarations, property owners' association, articles of incorporation and bylaws. Again, we will look for language regarding private drives, public access, no gates, maintenance, etc. Jeff Vogel, DHM Design, and Keith Neale, Colonnade/Koelbel, each presented information on the requests. Neighboring homeowner Dick Gast was present to request the Commission not approve the changes in location of the townhomes, as they would impede the view for he and his neighbors. Mr. Gast presented information, on behalf of several homeowners, about what they were lead to believe would be guaranteed for views, etc., when they purchased their property. After extensive review, questions and answers, Comm. Sumrall moved, and Comm. Waldron seconded the motioa to close the Public Hearing. Motion carried: 5-0. Mayor Howlett moved, and Comm. Sumrall seconded the motioa to approve the minor amendment and preliminary plat with the two following conditions: 1) Approval by the Town Engineer and Town Attorney; and 2) Revisions as outlined within the staff report.

Waldron seconded the motion to continue the Public Planning Commission Minutes 06/23/04 Page 4 Hearing to the next meeting of the Planning Commission, scheduled for July 28, 2004. Motion carried: 5-0 Discussion Items Sign Code Due to the lateness of the hour, this item was postponed to another meeting. Temporary Vendors CDD Durbin received a request from a man who wants to sell homemade tamales from his truck at the Conoco, with the property owner's permission. After discussion, it was determined this would be acceptable if the vendor has property owner permission, a business and sales tax license and, if applicable, a Colorado Department of Health certificate. T~~ ~ ~ ~ ,~.. Board Update CDD Durbin asked the Commission for their opinion on a current question. A property owner on Mink has approval to build two townhomes; he wants permission to build just one at this time, with the other to be built later. After discussion, the Commission agreed it would be acceptable; concerns about building materials, partial foundations, etc. are already addressed in the Town Code. The Board is considering disconnection of Planning Area 22W in response to Cornerstone's request to annex that area into Winter Park. Comm. Waldron moved, and Comm. Shapiro seconded the motioa approving a minor amendment to the 2003 PDD to disconnect 22W. Motion carried: 5-0 Mayor Howlett informed the Commission that the Board has repealed the Affordable Housing Impact Fee. Mayor Howlett said the Fraser Valley Fly Fishing Festival was a great time. CDD is constantly being asked if decks need to meet setbacks. The answer is a resounding YES. Comm. Shapiro inquired about the last Development Subcommittee meeting and the small business development center concept. CDD Durbin replied that it is still being discussed. ýÿ Planning Commission Minutes 06/23/04 Page 5 Comm. Shapiro moved, and Comm. Waldron seconded the motioa to adjourn. Motion carried: 5-0.
