Applicant Documents / Results of Outreach to Neighborhood - PZMike Wardle Subject: FW: Paramount Apartments From: re ly(dr.email,nextdoor.com[mailto:rei)IyOr.email.nextdoor.com] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2014 8:22 AM To: HOA Subject: Paramount Apartments On September 25, 2014 the core members of the Paramount apartment team met with Dave Turnbull and his team at Brighton corporate offices to discuss the updated apartment plans. We were told that David and his team took seriously the concerns and constructive input that so many of the community members had conveyed in the spring. Based on those interactions Brighton modified the original plans to incorporate resident input. The following are the details: Stty, Brighton reduced densi from 360 apartment un' to 280 units, an almost 2A.—red uct on. This was agree to this spring but reduction was more than anticipated, USM0daltSpace around Perimeter Originally plans included professional space on the outside perimeter of the apartments, which is still the case. Now this space is separated from the apartments by an enlarged green space and no ingress/egress into apartments. There will be separate parking from the apartments and it empty onto Meridian and Mc Millan Rd's. T ng 'Brighton cdK—erted a portion of the land for the apartments to "commercial or high density". This is now planned for professional office space and will be marketed as such. However, if it doesn't lease Brighton will need to rethink that land, reserving the right to develop as they choose, including potentially more apartments. Perhaps this is an we as res' ... ' idin lona at s VOWROMWWW" Now towma" Brighton dropped ingress/egress from apartments into the neighborhood from 3 points to 2 and placed them off -center from Paramount/Cedar Springs streets so that the apartment traffic does not have a straight shot emptying directly into neighborhood streets. You will recall a half-moon street that seperates the neighborhoods from the apartments. Originally there were 3 points where the apartments emptied directly into the neighborhood: W Laughton, W Peck, and onto the street that will eventually run down to W Producer by the Mormon R.E CF TV MAR 0 5 2015 CITY City CLERKS OFFICE 62-1- Church (not developed yet). The middle straight shot down W Peck Street to Paramount Elementary School is now a grassy pedestrian corridor that will empty at W Peck Street for pedestrian traffic only and specifically for access to the elementary school children. This leaves us with two points of vehicle exit from the apartments, both off -center and near the Meridian Rd and Mc Millan Rd ends of the half-moon street lining the apartments. Brighton has limited pull with ACHD and therefore has only limited say on planned streets and traffic slowing measures. The same 5 ingress points off of the half-moon street into the neighborhood remain on the plans and no planned traffic slowing measures have been directed by ACRD to date. If we want to make impact here, we the cornmunity will need to work with ACHD. rttrdsea�►ir�g,yandr Bar?r($rsr New plans eliminate the three story, 36 unit, barrack-st le apartments favoring mostlytory, 24 unit buildings with a few:%€story, 16 unit buildings. The green space between and around the apartments has significantly increased, with two toddler parks and one pool. The entire apartment complex will have garages lining the outside perimeter built in a way that will reduce noise but also in a way that is visually pleasing (faux windows and landscaping around each garage). The building style is in line with the community standards of craftsman style architecture and includes cut stone fronts and natural colors in keeping with the community standards. Each building has angled rooflines that vary to make them more visually appealing. The outside parameter includes berms, trees, and landscaping that will be both visually appealing and act as a noise barrier. A side walk will surround the community with street trees consistent with the rest of the neighborhood, When will this Happen? Brighton stated that if approved by the city they would likely begin the infrastructure early 2015. Brighton will meet with the cornmunity on October 14th and then file with the city. As is usual, the city will assign a city planner and that planner will schedule a public meeting for community input that will be advertised. Community Meeting Tuesday, October 14th at Paramount Elementary School in the 6:30 PM. Please try to attend. We felt that Brighton did address the concerns the community expressed in the spring and represented a significant good -faith effort. We understand that there were a number of folks that strongly felt the apartments should be stopped all together, That was indeed the core teams sentiments when this all started in the spring. However, since then we have all learned that the property was zoned high-density in 2002 and whether it was disclosed to everyone or not, this would be a long and expensive battle that we might not win. We feel this new plan 2 ! i represents a good compromise and reduces impact to the community. However, there were a few things that were not addressed but were also identified as things that Brighton has little impact, such as traffic, infrastructure, and school enrollment numbers. These are city and county issues that involve working with elected officials to impact change and require community engagement. We are seeking three community members to step forward and lead those three committees: Traffic Impact Committee; School Impact Committee; and Infrastructure Impact Committee, Please let me know ASAP if you would like to lead or co -lead one of these committees. Once we have a leader for each committee that person will seek membership and assign tasks accordingly.

We had Item 15 already, so we go to Item 16, which is a Public Hearing, request for a Conditional Use Permit for two 9,500 square foot retail buildings with associated site improvements on an L -O zone by Resolution Subdivision by G.L. Voigt Development, 1611 South Millennium Way and 2045 West Overland Road. At this time I will open the Public Hearing on CUP 03-011 and request staff comments first. Hawkins -Clark: Thank you, Mayor, Members of the Council. You will be pleased to know there are no sewer easements associated with this application. De Weerd: Why, thank you. Hawkins -Clark: The project is the same subdivision that you have already approved one item on tonight, the Resolution -- Resolution Park Subdivision there on Overland Road. The original approval for this subdivision, since it was conceptual, did require detailed Conditional Uses. That is one of the reasons why they have a conditional use on this project. The other is that they are proposing to put two buildings on a single lot. They have submitted a Site Plan and that's shown here. They have shown two different phases to their project. The phase line is, essentially, about three quarters of the way through the project. l believe they are proposing the more easterly building first. There is a private drive that was approved on the west side here coming off of Overland Road and Millennium Way is a public collector, that, as you know, goes and serves the Mountain View High School to the south. The original concept did show about 63,500 square feet of retail and 22,000 square feet of that total retail was on this lot. That has been reduced pretty substantially, so even though they have two separate buildings, the approved concept for the square footage of retail is, actually, less than what you
