05:32:34 PM (00:02:23) Board members, Troy Scherer and Scott Friemuth recused themselves from project discussion
due to professional conflicts.
05:33:02 PM (00:02:51) Chris Saunders, project Planner and Community Development Manager, introduced the project
as an informal application to receive feedback from the board. Mr. Saunders provided a brief history of the Saccoccia
PUD, an underlying Planned Unit Development which includes the subject property.
05:37:26 PM (00:07:15) Mr. Saunders reviewed the PUD performance points being proposed and the relaxations
requested. Staff suggested that the PUD be modified to remove open space in exchange for the project offering 100%
income restricted (affordable) housing. Following, Mr. Saunders reviewed parking, open space and parkland, pointing
out that staff has suggested some changes to the open space.
05:42:54 PM (00:12:43) Project Architect, Henri Foch with Intrinsik Architecture presented an overview of the proposed
project, including site amenities and layout. Mr. Foch addressed the open space and clarified that the concept
application contained two open space components, the overall required open space within the PUD as well as
residential open space.
05:52:14 PM (00:22:03) Mr. Foch responded to questions from board members regarding the relaxations requested for
open space, stating that they are early in the conceptual process and that changes may take place prior to formal
application. Mr. Foch also addressed relaxations requested in parking, sharing that he felt the site would provide
adequate parking due to varying needs from the project’s commercial components and senior housing.
06:04:40 PM (00:34:29) Board members continued to seek clarification from the project architect regarding the
relaxations requested for open space, from both the PUD open space requirements as well as the residential open space
requirements. Project planner, Chris Saunders provided some insight into changes which would need to take place in
order to receive relaxations from the over-arching PUD open space requirements.
06:15:02 PM (00:44:51) Mr. Saunders responded to board Chair, Brady Ernst’s questions regarding the trail through the
property and the staff recommendation of removing open space altogether. Following, the group discussed access in the
surrounding area.
06:19:23 PM (00:49:12) Board member Ethan Barlow inquired about the senior housing on the site and where it would
best be placed in order to enjoy views for those who will be spending more time in their residences. Mr. Foch responded
that the buildings were laid out to accommodate emergency access needs for the site.
06:27:12 PM (00:57:01) Board members worked around the dais providing comments and feedback regarding the
concept application, generally supporting the project.
