Session 1799 December 18, 2000 AGENDA ITEM #5: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 2 MCKNIGHT PLACE - 8654 BARBY: Mr. OIlendorff agrees with the Plan Commission recommendation that a conditional use permit allowing the construction of this nursing home addition be approved subject to all relevant prior conditions and other conditions related directly to this project, as follows: properly directed lighting, on-site parking without public street utilization other than McKnight Place, approved drainage and grading, installation of odor controlling exhaust systems, detailed landscape plan and installation, 90 patient limit, detailed construction traffic and parking provisions prior to building permit issuance, maintaining bus stop trash receptacle, compliance with height and mass limits on approved plan, construction and conformance with this plan and all zoning code requirements, and a completed traffic study paid for by the applicant demonstrating appropriateness of a Barby entrance. The approval of this conditional use permit should follow the adoption of the rezoning ordinance. Mayor Adams wants Mr. Ollendorff to make sure that the traffic study includes whether people are violating the stop signs at that intersection. He also wants to see that the construction crews follow a better clean up process. Mr. Ollendorff stated that he would add these both as conditions to the permit. Mayor Adams asked for further clarification on the condition regarding lighting. Mr. Ollendorff read condition #4 in detail: Lighting of all exterior areas, including all parking areas, shall comply with the requirements of Section 34-93.7 of the zoning code and shall be designed to be cornpatible with surrounding areas and shall be shaded to direct light downward and away from abutting uses. Mr. Wagner said that what Mr. Ollendorff read does not give him a lot of comfort that we are going to address Ms. Reiling's concern. It talks about where the light is directed, but if you look at some of her pictures, it is the reflected light that is the problem. Mr. Ollendorff said that specifically, the condition says, "...shall be shaded to direct light downward and away from abutting uses..". Mr. Wagner says that direct light is not the problem, reflected light is and he believes the code falls short of this particular problem and does not address Ms. Reiling's concern. Mr. Wagner also asked if the traffic study would be reviewed by City staff and feels the term "appropriateness" is a nebulous term and he has no idea what this really means. He asked City Manager for a more explicit definition. Mr. OIlendorff read condition #13: "A traffic study shall be performed by the applicant prior to the issuance of the conditional use permit that shows that the entrance onto Barby will not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding properties on the 8600 block of Barby. Said traffic study shall be approved by the Director of Planning and the Director of Public Works." Mr. Wagner said that there is a prohibition of trucks on Barby Lane, and now there are complaints that trucks are entering way up on the west end of Barby Lane. Mr. Wagner wants to know if this problem will be included in 6
