ARCHITEC- Fahey opened the public review of the architectural elements related to the TURAL REVIEW Ruff Cuts development proposal at the northwest intersection of Little KUFN CUTS Canada Road and Jackson Street. It was noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to an increase in window size as well as some additional cornice elements. Dave Pat'y, Cobra Construction, representing Ru1TCuts, presented a revised site plan showing increased window sizes on the front of the building. A cornice treatment has also been added to the front. Pary noted the discussion at the Planning Commission about driveway location with City staff preferring that the driveway access be on Jackson Street and the applicant and neighbors preferring the access point be on Little Canada Road. Pary indicated that since the Planning Commission meeting he met with the City Engineer and Public Works Director and both recommend that the driveway be on Jackson Street. The City Administrator indicated that the rational was to keep traffic at a controlled intersection given the tra{lic volumes on Little Canada Road. LaValle asked how much traffic would be in and out of the Ruff Cuts site each day. Pary estimated that there would be 25 customers coming to Ruff Cuts each day. Pary also noted that the City Engineer felt that if Ruff Cuts generated higher h'ai~ic volumes, it would be better to have the access point on Little Canada Road. The City Planner indicated that he discussed the driveway access point with City stafTand agreed that putting that access on Jackson Street consolidate<, tragic at a controlled intersection. The City Administrator indicated that he received a call from a resident of the townhomes who could not be present this evening indicated opposition to the driveway being on Jackson Street.
