General Concept Plan Approval — Resolution No. 4619 <br />• Michael Pahg of Great Lakes Management Company was present representing Mr. <br />Dunbar. <br />Weinberger stated that the applicant reduced the size of the retaining wall to about 75 feet <br />long with an average height of about 2 feet. The primary change in the plans was to <br />separate the outgoing traffic from the incoming traffic and parking lot area in front of the <br />senior building. They angled the parking and made the traffic lane one way to reduce the <br />width of the lot. The service road was made one way and exit only. The City's traffic <br />engineer requested the following additional items: <br />• Restriping for a right turn lane and acceleration lane on Highway 12 <br />• A 14 foot width for each lane of traffic on the service drives <br />• A 90 degree access to the underground parking to improve site lines <br />• "One way — do not enter" signs at the west end of the parking area and east end <br />of the service road, and stop signs at intersections within the service drive area <br />• Snow storage areas. <br />Weinberger stated that there would be more screening in front of the office building's <br />underground parking access. Some day the service road may connect to Brimhall <br />Avenue. He stated the current resolution does not approve rezoning at this time, but does <br />list the rationale behind approving the rezoning when the final site plan approval is given. <br />• Staff recommended approval of the resolution. <br />3 <br />
