Item No. 1 Minutes Of December 20, 2012
I did not attend this meeting, nor have I had a chance to review the audio, so I can't comment
on the substance of the minutes, but I noticed a number of minor grammatical errors, the most
definite of which include:
Page 4: "Sandy Throop, Corner Cornerstone ( ?) Real Estate Advisors, spoke in
opposition..."
Page 6: "... sidewalks and street parcels are not included in the density calculations."
Page 7: "...the elrat draft text allows the existing land uses to continue."
Page 8: "Mr. Campbell reported that the lower the height is intended to allow..."
Page 8: "Commissioner Myers agreed with r� °n °e ; Commissioner Brown and stated..."
Page 9: "... and felt that the stated the 60 square foot minimum is too large."
Page 10: "He felt that the proposed?? would improve water quality."
Page 11: "Mr. Campbell aeldr-ess addressed modification to condition number 15..."
Note: although closely related to the project, the discussion and recommendation regarding the
Council's action on the ALUC decision (page 15) does not seem to have been adequately
noticed in the agenda or briefed to the Commission by staff.
1 2 Corporate Plaza PC Amendment (PA2012 -145)
I found confusing The4a a in the applicant's letter reproduced on the final page of the staff
report, seeming to indicate thre osed medical /dental tenants at 3 Corporate Plaza with a
total square footage substantially exceedln requested in the resolution. Kay Sims has
clarified that the ophthalmologist in Suite 140 would be �aroom for the dentist in
Suite 210.
At the same time, it appears that the current medical /dental uses at 3 Corporate
3,175 square feet, slightly exceed the 3,100 sf allowed by the current PC text.
