stated we have already set a service area up for the tax abatement process for potential funding for our own water system. 2. Tom Prew responded he is in agreement with their compliance with storm water and erosion control. 3. The signage is in compliance with the approved Eagle Point Business Park Master Sign Plan. Attorney Filla suggested a separate PUD for this area would work better. The original PUD covered roads, landscaping and grading. When the City Planner comes back from vacation, staff should sit down with developer and go over the agreements. There are underlying restrictions that prospective purchasers need to be aware of. 4. In compliance with the exterior surfacing requirement and finding cultured stone an acceptable equivalent to Code specified materials. 5. Covered 6. Covered 7. Applicant understood no building permit should be issued for any construction on the site prior to satisfaction of all approval conditions, and recording of the PUD agreement and Final Plat of Eagle Point Business Park. 8. Compliance with PUD lighting plan: DeLapp: The issue is whether the light source itself is the attraction or the thing being lit is the attraction. Our common commercial code is not unique to LE. Armstrong asked they bring the shadow down to be consistent with lighting requirements for residential. Whalen: they have added an aluminum cone covering the clear bulb shielding the light down. DeLapp: By having the light not at the higher level as the code allows will make an enormous difference both to the patrons and for the surrounding residences. Whalen: Wildwood Lodge sign has individual cabinets, a translucent panel, so only the letter will glow. George Burkards stated United Properties had studied the lighting concept and will abide by the ordinance. They are still wrestling with style, design and color. Lot configuration is an administrative issue. Attorney Filla pointed out the developer will have to decide if there are one or two parcels. He pointed out Condition #7 that no building permit should be issue for any construction on the site prior to satisfaction of all approval conditions, and recording of the PUD agreement and Final Plat of Eagle Point Business Park. Staff will work on lot configuration. George Burkards responded we often do a fast track.... get a permit for foundation and parking lot this Fall. Issuing a building permit tied to a final plat may be restrictive. According to Attorney Filla there could potentially be another set of standards for south of Hudson Blvd, and we would have a PUD A & B to address each. Council member DeLapp stated that the City would follow its current procedures for reviewing building plans and issuing permits. He said the developer would not make this decision. Wildwood Lodge: Kirk Whalen explained commercial vinyl lapboard is used for maintenance, stays fresh and clean. Use cultured stone, black asphalt and black shutters. Look of this building matches the restaurant. This is the look that business traveler's like and follows the warmth into the lobby. Council member DeLapp stated we are not talking vinyl siding. He wants more brick on this building. Armstrong felt the hotel should match the restaurant, which would require 85% brick and 15% wood siding: The consensus of the Council was to require 85% brick (Simulated stone) and 15% lap siding. Kirk Whalen responded this is an $8 million project 15% lap siding may not work on this building. If we have to add more stone, we might have to reduce funds for inside of building.
