1.    NUT TREE/ELMIRA SHOPPING CENTER
    a.    Environmental Assessment (EA-11-86)
    b.    Design Review (CUP-9-86)

    Fred Buderi, Assistant Planner, reviewed the proposal, introduced the report into the record, and recommended approval of the project subject to the conditions listed within the staff report.  Chairman Whalen asked about any traffic conflicts with the Keith Way driveways; Assistant Planner Buderi noted that there are no conflicts indicated within the traffic study.

    Committee Member Clark asked about the right-of-way plan on Keith Way adjoining the site.  Assistant Planner Buderi noted that additional right-of-way is needed in order to provide a left turn lane into the site and provide bike lanes on both sides of the street. A discussion followed regarding the requirement for a bike lane and changes that would need to be made to the site plan because of right-of-way adjustments along Elmira Road, Nut Tree Road, and Keith Way.  The Committee indicated that they would like to see the revised site layout when it was completed.  Alternate Member Rasmussen asked for a clarification of condition 4 relating to the driveway exit along Keith Way.  Assistant Planner Buderi explained that enough room was needed for a car to line up at a right angle at the property line in order to properly negotiate either a left or right hand turn.

    Committee Member Dykwell made a motion to approve the Environmental Assessment (EA-11-86) and Design Review (CUP-9-86) subject to the recommended conditions and added condition 10:
