APPROVED 8-0 New Business 8. CUP2017-00050 Dave Yearout, Principal Planner, MAPD, presented the request by Sam Coryell (applicant), K.E. Miller Engineering, P.A., Kirk Miller (Agent), for City Amendment to CUP (DP-62) to allow multi-family residences on parcels 11 and 12 and to increase maximum building height on property zoned MF-18, generally located west of Rock Road and south of 21st Street North (2023 North Broadmoor).  Passed MAPC with conditions including:  Must have full traffic study done on 21st/Broadmoor and Rock Rd/Rockhill  Must make improvements dictated by traffic study  Improvements must be made prior to permits being issued  DAB ?: Who pays for traffic study? Answer: Developer pays for study  DAB ?: Will improvements be made prior to permits being issued? Answer (Paul Gunzelman): Yes, if it is determined to be warranted. The traffic study will project future use after development  Patrick Cantwell, 2021 N. Broadmoor, #102  Lived there since 1982  551 new apartments  Going to add approximately 1,100 new vehicles going in and out of one block area  Page |3  Parking on Rockhill cuts the roadway down to a narrow road  No left turn lane on 21st at Broadmoor  Please consider the impact on community, on the people that already live there  Loss in property value  Dennis & Dee Schmidt, 2025 N. Broadmoor, #173  30 years at Sheffield Place  Traffic study is key  What guarantees it will be done by objective party  Broadmoor and 21st Street is already a dangerous intersection  The developer will have it done by someone who favors the development  Terry Culp, 7106 E. Chadowes  Traffic congestion improvements need to be completed before any construction begins for new complexes  DAB ?: Can you post no-parking on street? Answer (Gunzelman): the street is 41’ wide. Parked cars slows traffic down. If parked cars were eliminated, speeds would increase  Bill Landman, 7114 E. Chadowes  PowerPoint presentation  Alleviate traffic congestion  825-1,100 new vehicles  Two intersections and one artery into neighborhood  Left turn lane badly needed on 21st Street at Broadmoor  DAB ?: Is the next step a traffic study? Answer: They can’t move forward with development until the study is done DAB ?: Who chooses the traffic study company? Answer: The applicant  Babich: Would support the applicant if apartment height is limited to two-story buildings Jesri motioned to APPROVE the proposed amendment to the CUP subject to the following conditions. A. Parcel 12a provisions shall include the statement: Parcel 12a may allow up to 80 apartments. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for Parcel 12a, the applicant shall complete a traffic study of the impact of the apartments on vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit transportation in the area and shall guarantee the improvements made necessary by the proposed apartments as approved by the City Traffic Engineer. B. The DP-62 drawing and the site plan drawing for Parcel 12a shall address and provide details regarding fencing requirements to protect the access easement in the northwest corner of Parcel 12a, both with respect to type and type of fencing to be installed. C. The site plan prepared and submitted by design group shall be finalized and appropriately detailed with dimensions and labeling to denote the development in greater detail. Said site plan shall be approved by the Director of Planning prior to the issuance of a building permit. D. New building concept, design, and height drawing shall be placed on file and approved by the Director of Planning prior to the issuance of a building permit. E. All other General Provisions of Community Unit Plan DP-62 shall remain in full force and effect. Four copies of the approved CUP shall be submitted to the Metropolitan Area Planning Department within 60 days after approval of this case by the MAPC or Governing Body, as applicable, or the request shall be considered denied and closed. We are specifically requesting the CUP drawing for DP-62 be redrawn to reflect the most recent approvals. The current version is difficult to decipher and consistent with past policies and practices, the latest amendment is to result in “clean” versions being presented.  Page |4 Seconded by Goseland.
