MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 14, 2004 7:00 o'clock p.m. • ( #04 -2974 RELIANCE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, LLP, NW QUADRANT HWY 12 (OUTLOT A, STONEBAY) — COMMERCIAL PUD SITE PLAN REVIEW, GENERAL CONCEPT PLAN APPROVAL, PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL, CMP AMENDMENT APPROVAL — RESOLUTIONS NO. 5188, 5189, AND 5190 continued) Curtis provided the sample of building exterior design colors for the two smaller retail buildings. Gaffron stated Walgreens would have the same brick but not the blue canopy color. Van Dell pointed out the colors of each building design feature. Mayor Peterson and White objected to the blue color for the canopies. White asked if there could be parking spaces removed on the side of the smaller building to try to address McMillan's traffic concerns. Gaffron commented there is no entrance on that building side. Trautz replied that if the parking spaces were removed, Walgreens would pull out of the development because with rotating of the Walgreens building, Walgreens ended up losing front door parking spaces and is anticipating their customers will use the parking spaces on the northeast side of the smaller building. Trautz emphasized they do not foresee traffic volume problems. Van Dell pointed out there would be a 24' drive aisle plus 20' widths for parking stalls. Sansevere remarked that most patrons would likely park elsewhere due to walking distances and therefore there would not be too many parking stalls impacted by any potential problems of vehicles backing into cross traffic.
