The motion failed with the following voice vote - Ayes: 3; Noes: 3; Absent: 1; Abstain: 0.

Randy Kyte, representing the applicant, addressed the proposed increase in square footage. He stated that at this point, it is not economically feasible to build the garage but requesting the option to build it provides the applicant with flexibility for future planning. He discussed the process the applicant and nearby residents were involved in and that resulted in the proposed draft resolution. In response to a Board inquiry Randy Kyte addressed the phases of the proposed sidewalk improvements. Board member Cook asked if the Board approved 113,000 sf in 2003. Staff responded no. President Kohlstrand requested the current total square footage at the centre. Staff responded that it is approximately 600,000 sf and includes what is already built plus what is currently under construction. The public hearing was opened. Claire Risley spoke in opposition to the project. Page 6 of 10 | PlanningBoard/2008-09-22.pdf |
