Outstanding Issue(s): The applicant requests that the Council reconsider DA provisions 9 & 11.
9. If the extension of Corporate Drive is completed prior to the split corridor Waltman
Lane/Meridian Road/Main Street intersection, no building construction traffic shall be
allowed to use the Waltman Lane/Meridian Road/Main Street intersection until it is also
completed. However, construction traffic for the purpose of infrastructure (sewer, water,
& roads) improvements shall be allowed to use Waltman Lane prior to the completion of
the Waltman Lane/Meridian Road/Main Street intersection.
11. At no time shall construction traffic associated with the development of this site be
allowed to access this site using Ruddy Drive or any other street within The Landing
Subdivision
If the Council were to approve the applicant's request to allow construction traffic in exchange
for providing a gate for Waltman residents to use Ruddy, ACRD would need the gate removed
prior to dedication of the right-of--way and acceptance of the street connection to Ruddy which
may or may not coincide with occupancy of a building.
Staff and applicant discussed that clarity is needed in the DA provisions related to the need for
conditional use approval. Those concerns are detailed in Ms. Wafters memo to Council:
16. Except for a potential hotel site at the southwest corner,
~es3~ler~ial~xses any structure housing a use other than office within 100 feet of the
west and northwest boundaries adjacent to residential uses shall require conditional use
permit approval (unless the adjacent uses are changed into non-residential uses).
19. Except for a potential hotel site at the southwest corner, all structures proposed on the site
over 100,000 square feet that are within 100 feet of a residential district or use shall
obtain conditional use permit approval.
