Attached commentsMy bad......... Here you go.
I went back through my staff meetings file this morning. The city staff meeting when we finalized the street widths and setbacks for each type of product was March 17, 2008, well before
Michael Arellano’s arrival. I don’t recall ever discussing it with him. We agreed to 20’ between the non-sprinkled retail buildings and a minimum of 10’ clear between the eaves of the
non-sprinkled cottages.
Based on this consensus, we altered the “H” District side yard from the “0-8 foot” maximum to “0-10 foot” when we prepared the PD.
It was March 11 of last year when Tim Oates instructed us that not only would buildings exceeding 5,000 square feet be sprinkled, any restaurant must be sprinkled; any ambulatory use
with 4 patient rooms or more and any medical facility using gases (i.e. nitrous) must be sprinkled regardless of size. Freese & Nichols was already in design. I gave Keith an updated
table to provide fire lines to additional lots and they are now in place.
Cottage lots 7-10 are probably the most problematic for us. I had to narrow them already when Engineering came back and needed the 15’ easement for drainage once Freese determined the
routing last year. We finalized the site plan on 03/17/11 to show the changes.
I think Bill Peck is meeting with Michael again on Monday. I need to submit cottage 11, 12 & 13 by May 14 for DRC, so we have to resolve this with staff this week to allow us time to
get civil and landscape drawings done on time. That would set these on course for a July 10 Council vote.
Thanks,
