MOTION: Mr. Loewenstein moved for approval of the Consent Agenda as presented.
Mr. Rieley observed that the Research Park was touted as being designed on principles of new
urbanism; however the site plan showing plans for Buildings 1 and 2 is "enormously
disappointing,"and points out how badly a new set of criteria to judge such applications needs to
be adopted. "It's easy to sell things on general principles, and it comes back to us only needing
waivers for critical slopes, curvilinear parking, and loading areas—none of which I have a
problem with—but...I just think this is a very clear example of why the DISC study and our
attention to it is so important."
Mr. Rooker commented that there is a lot of parking in front indicated on the site plan.
Mr. Rieley commented that there is a sea of parking, and the site"might as well be a K-Mart."
Mr. Thomas seconded the motion for approval of the Consent Agenda,which passed
unanimously
