Planning Commission Meeting Minutes - September 19, 2000 Page 2 3.THE BASE OF THE ADDITION IS NOT OPEN AND ITS APPEARANCE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE BASE OF THE BUILDING. 4.THE STRUCTURE SHALL NOT EXCEED 35% OF THE WIDTH OF THE FRONT OF THE DWELLING EXCLUDING THE GARAGE OR SHALL NOT EXCEED 12 FEET IN WIDTH WHICHEVER IS LESS. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried. Teague presented a site plan review and amendment to a Planned Residential Development (PRD) to construct a 11.9 x 22 ft. kitchen addition to the existing Brightondale Senior Housing facility at 2700 Rice Creek Road. The proposal involves no change to existing parking areas or landscape plan. The addition would be setback more than 100 feet from any property line, and the mature trees along the west property line provide screening from adjacent properties. There will be no grade changes or additional impervious surfaces. Staff is requiring the applicant submit a plan showing how equipment shall be transported to the construction site so not damage existing trees. Applicant, Mike Gould, Silver Crest Properties, said the kitchen expansion will provide the needed food preparation area to serve the residents of Brightondale and the adjacent Meadowood Shores Facility. Ken Norby, NAI Architects, presented illustrations of the expansion. th Ron Olson, 2026 28 Ave. NW, feels the applicant has addressed issues relating to ventilation and construction equipment transportation routes. Olson and his neighbors have concern the applicant has reneged on the promise of no further development and the City continues to allow further expansions. th Doug Johnson, 2025 28 Ave. NW, asked if a future request could involve construction of a new patio to replace the one being removed. th Grace Dedrick, 2023 28 Ave. NW, feels this addition could produce additional backyard drainage and food preparation odors. Zisla said the proposal will not increase the amount of impervious surface, and ventilation would be released out the existing roof area. th Ralph Bookman, 2021 28 Ave. NW, noted the poorly maintained landscaping at Brightondale. Teague will discuss these maintenance issues with Gould. Baker questioned why Gould did not address the kitchen issue when the Alzheimer’s Wing was proposed two years ago. Gould felt the kitchen expansion did not fit within the Meadowood Shores project time frame, and the need became more apparent after construction. Baker feels Gould should have addressed the possibility of an expansion at the time of the Meadowood Shores proposal. Schiferl asked if the patio area will be expanded or replaced. A Brightondale staff member said the patio is used very infrequently by the residents, and there are no future plans for construction a new patio. Gould said at this time there does not appear to be future additions planned. Zisla asked if the City Council had taken action on the Alzheimer’s wing. Teague verified the Alzheimer’s Wing proposal was withdrawn by the applicant before Council consideration, however, the Planning Commission did recommend denial.
