Site Plan Application #SP-24-06 of SRTB Holdings, LLC, to modify a previously approved plan for a 10,210 sf automotive sales, service and repair building on an existing 2.07-acre lot. The amendment consists of a 3,980 sf expansion, including an addition to the existing sales/show- DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD 19 MARCH 2024 PAGE 2 room and the construction of a drop-off area for the vehicle service department, 1650 Shelburne Road: Mr. Barnard said the site plan was approved last year, but they did not pull the building permit on time, so the approval lapsed. Since the cost of the building has gone up, the landscaping budget requirement has also gone up, but there is no change to the landscaping plan, since those associated costs have also increased. Ms. Philibert noted there is an issue with glazing. Mr. Barnard said they are proposing spandrel glass up top which will hide equipment that is not pleasing to look at. Mr. Gillies said there is no issue with this as 84% of the glazing is transparent. Mr. Behr did not feel the spandrel glass led to a second floor appearance and suggested possible frosted glass. Mr. Langford said there is actually a second floor with offices and a conference room. It is a 2-story building. He said if the Board wants transparent glazing on the second floor, they will do that. Mr. Gillies noted the new landscape budget is $35,970, a $13,000 increase over the previous plan. Members were OK with the proposed landscaping and budget. Mr. Moscatelli asked if there were any LDR changes which would affect this application. Ms. Keene said there were not. Mr. Kochman then moved to close SP-24-06. Mr. Moscatelli seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 6. Continued master plan a0pplication #MP-23-01 of John Larkin, Inc., to establish a master plan for an approximately 40 acre existing PUD consisting of 270 residential units in 8 multi-family buildings, a 20,000 sf movie theater, a 22,500 sf restaurant/medical office building, and a 3,500 sf restaurant with drive through. The master plan includes 4 phases and consists of adding approximately 92,105 sf of commercial space including a 110-room hotel, approximately 281 homes in multi- family and mixed use buildings, 6 homes in 2-family buildings, approximately 5 acres of programmed and passive open spaces, and extending a city street, 1185 Shelburne Road: Ms. Wyman was recused from this hearing due to a potential conflict of interest. Ms. Philibert noted there were 4 issues to revisit. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD 19 MARCH 2024 PAGE 3 Staff comments were then addressed as follows; #1. Regarding updating the phasing plan, staff believes it now meets the standard. Board members voiced no objections. #2. Regarding updating the construction phasing plan, the Board had no issues with the proposed plan. #3. The applicant was asked to bring the management plan up to standard. Staff noted the language in the management plan identifying who will be responsible for maintaining water and sewer infrastructure was not clear and they cannot determine what will be City-owned and what will remain private. Mr. Gillies noted that the applicant specified on a plan sheet what will go to the City. Ms. Keene noted that the City accepts water and sewer that are within the right-of- way. She asked the applicant if they were OK with that. The applicant said they were. #4. Regarding the site amenity requirements, Mr. Gillies noted that buildings #4 and #6 weren’t showing a site amenity. He noted that technically building #6 is adjacent to a proposed park which touches building #6. Members voiced no objections to the possibility of considering future requests to reduce the Site Amenity requirement in certain cases by up to 50%. Ms. Philibert asked whether members felt they had enough information to make a decision. Members said they do. Mr. Behr then moved to close MP-23-01. Ms. Mann seconded. Motion passed 6-0. 7. Minutes of 6 February 2024: Ms. Mann moved to approve the Minutes of 6 February 2024 as written. Mr. Moscatelli seconded. Motion passed 6-0. 8.
