PUBLIC COMMENT: None
CONSENT AGENDA
It was moved and seconded (Muhonen/Hinkle) to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion passed 4-0.
AGENDA ITEM: TRC Resolution 03-21
Director Hunt explained that the TRC wouldmake a determination on a requested Minor Modification to the Stanley Carriage House Final package approval. This will allow the Stanley to
post security for the two north-south walkways from Stanley campus buildings down to Steamer Parkway to receive a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) for the Carriage House tenant
finish. A Dec. 7, 2020 condition of the Carriage House approval requires completion and acceptance of the two walkways to issue a TCO.
The Carriage House is nearing completion, as are the surrounding site improvements, including the East Parking Lot. On Dec. 2020, at the Final Package hearing for the Carriage House,
the Stanley and TRC agreed that two walkways (private sidewalks) would be built in conjunction with the Carriage House project: an east walkway from the Carriage House vicinity down
to Steamer Parkway across from the Aspire parking-lot walkway, and a west walkway from the original Hotel down to where the newly linked walkway comes up to Steamer Parkway from the
US 34/MacGregor Avenue roundabout.
This request (technically corresponding to a Minor Modification in our Development Code) is before TRC. If approved, the security could be posted, and that would allow a TCO (Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy) to be issued before the walkway work is completed. No other improvements at the Carriage House building or site would be affected; all those would still have
to be finished and signed off by the Town and other agencies before a TCO is issued.
DISCUSSION(summarized)
Member Muhonen questioned the mechanics between private and public facilities and signatures for the Development Agreement. Attorney Kramer suggested that the Assistant Town Administrator
serve as the designated signee to avoid conflict. Attorney Stuart Olive noted that there is a significant incentive to complete the project promptly. A monthly TCO can extend as long
as the building permit is active (3 years). Muhonen requested a definitive timeline be set for construction. According to Attorneys Stuart Olive and Dan Kramer, a one-year timeline
has been inserted into the Improvement Agreement. The design should be submitted to the Town this summer, and construction would begin after that. Hotel owner John Cullen promised that
a better solution for the sidewalk is planned, with an excellent comprehensive design and a reconfiguring of the Great Lawn. This development is a bridge to the next TRC project.
PUBLIC COMMENT: None
.
It was moved and seconded (Wisenski/Hinkle) to approve TRC Resolution 03-21. with the addition that the securitization of option 2A shall only be available once the applicant and the
Town have entered into an agreement acceptable to the Town, governing the type, amount and procedures for the security.The motion passed 4-0.
DISCUSSION: TRC MEETING DATES
Director Hunt discussed possible dates to consider the Film Center final submittal. August would be the earliest, depending on review comments. Future items coming to the TRC could
be the Grand Lawn, any adjustments with the Film Center and the East Parking Lot circulation.
There being no further business, Chair Machalek adjourned the meeting at 2:45 p.m.Travis Machalek, Chair
