Planning & Zoning Board October 12, 2005 Page 8 Mr. Laden asked if they would be able to accomplish the 15 -foot setback. Mr. Janes stated it was their point that moving the building up to the street, the porch had to be removed; otherwise the porch would go out into the sidewalk. Mr. Laden stated only a certain percentage had to be moved closer to the street and not the entire building. Mr. Bengtson responded rather than the way it was currently configured, stepping back from the right -a -way; staff had discussed having it step toward the street frontage, which would come into compliance with the 50 percent build -to line. He noted the builder had indicated they would work with staff on this. He stated it was not their intention that the entire building be moved forward. Mr. Laden encouraged staff to work with the developer to bring portions of the building toward the street. Chair Rafferty stated he did not want to see everything on the same plane however. Mr. Tralle stated since this was a hotel and the patrons of the hotel did not want to be on street level. Mr. Laden noted the apartments were required to meet the 15 foot build to and he believed this development should also have to meet this too. Mr. Tralle stated when they made some of the standards, they did not take into account that this would be a hotel at some point and he agreed if this was going to take away from the front being staggered, that was not appropriate. Chair Rafferty asked if there was something staff could do to meet the criteria that was set forth by the standards, and if that meant the degree of the building's angle was to be changed, then to do it. Mr. Bengtson responded staff understood this and they also wanted to go more in that direction as well and they would ensure that was done. Mr. Janes indicated they were willing to work with staff to meet those criteria. Chair Rafferty stated as condition number 15, all landscaped and sodded areas must be sprinkled. Mr. Janes noted the plans detailed that all landscaped areas would be irrigated and they intended to comply with it, but if they wanted this as a recommendation that was fine, but it was in the plans. Mr. Pogalz asked if they were looking to send them away with a list of recommendation tonight, or to bring this back at the next meeting. Mr. Bengtson responded staff had worked well with the developer and he did not see any problem with conditions requiring that staff work with the developer prior to this being brought to the City Council. Mr. Pogalz stated in the past the Board had wanted to see things and he asked if they wanted staff to work directly with the developer on this without seeing this again, or did they want this brought back for another review. Mr. Nelson stated he wanted a condition for the roof and the trash, and that would be enough for him. • • •
