There were no objections to <br />any of the Commissioners hearing the case. <br /> <br />Minnie Dhaliwal <br />, Planning Supervisor, gave the presentation on behalf of Jaimie Reavis for staff. Ms. <br />Dhaliwal entered into the record a new enlarged site plan. She stated that the applicant proposed <br />revisions after the packet was sent out. This project requires Board of Architectural Review because it <br />exceeds the threshold of 2,500 sq. ft. expansion. <br /> <br />Revision: <br /> <br />In lieu of wheel stops the applicant is proposing widening the landscaping island by two feet, and staff is <br />in agreement. Mechanical equipment and light fixtures will be relocated. Originally staff recommended <br />approval with four conditions. However, with the new proposed revisions condition number two is no <br />longer necessary. <br /> <br />Public Testimony: <br /> <br />David Rogers <br />, Representative for Costco Wholesale thanked staff for considering their last minute <br />request to expand the landscape area instead of putting in the wheel stops. Mr. Rogers also provided <br />some background on the expansion that Costco is undergoing in other areas. <br /> <br /> <br />5-1 Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br />
