MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 14, 2014 Miranowski stated that they agreed to the tabling and that a 60 -Day Waiver would be submitted. Maleitzke suggested that another neighborhood meeting be held with the residents of the area to get more feedback. Houwman reported on the neighborhood meeting that was held earlier in the week. He felt that meeting was successful. Fischer noted that the neighborhood meeting was held at 2 p.m. and indicated that some people may not have been able to attend because of the time. Fischer listed the additional information that the City Planner recommended be submitted. This included the following: *Traffic study analyzing peak traffic generation and flow. *Parking study analyzing parking demand and impacts on other retail tenants. *Operational considerations to manage outdoor and noise impacts, especially in the north area of the site. *Screening and buffering improvements that would insulate late- night aspects of the facility from the adjoining residential development. *Upgraded site plan to comply with the City's landscaping and site improvements required in the Architectural Guidelines and Zoning Ordinance. Miranowski indicated that he texted Chris Gnetz, the owner, about tabling this matter, and Gnetz indicated that he did not support the tabling as September would present too much of a delay for the project. Duray recommended denial of the Architectural Review and the PUD Permit for a restaurant -bar -live music venue at 27-47 Little Canada Road, Voodoo Live, based on the following findings of fact: 1. The proposed use cannot demonstrate adequate parking on the property, considering other retail uses present, to meet the requirements of the City's zoning regulations. 2. The proposed use is likely to create noise and other impacts in the portion of the property that abuts a residential area, and which would be incompatible with the adjoining land uses. 3. There are no buffering or screening measures present or proposed which would be able to mitigate the impacts of late night, outdoor activity. - 18 -
