The application is Step I preliminary phase of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). This includes a preliminary plat and site plan review for mixed use development at the existing Brighton Village Shopping Center. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing center, subdivide the land and construct an 84-unit hotel, restaurant, drug store, retail and medical buildings and a 78 unit senior housing facility. The existing Champ’s Restaurant will expand into the existing liquor store and be enhanced by an outdoor patio. Lane Hendel of Kraus Anderson, Paul Settman with Settman Enterprises, Mr. Robey with Settman Enterprises and Brian Munstock with Sunde Civil Engineering were available. The Site Plan was reviewed and there was a question and answer session with Commissioners and presenters. Carrie Rasmussen of 1228 Robin Lane expressed her concerns about the traffic on Robin Lane as it is used quite heavily by children and senior citizens walking and now will have increased traffic. She asked about the traffic study and some possibilities for lessening or diverting the flow from Robin Lane. Nancy Grant of 1100 Robin Court asked how tall is the hotel and the senior housing building. She was told they are 60 feet to the top of the roof line. She also asked what kind of public assistance would be going into the buildings, TIF, tax abatement or what. After some discussion, Chairman Baker routed discussion back to the hearing at hand as financing is not part of the Planning Commission oversight.
