Mr. Knight stated the Northstar Lumber Yard and hardware related business are those which are appropriate for the site but they feel that a broader range of businesses is appropriate for this highway related development. Their focus is still on the home irrprovement type business. They have refined their list according to the Planning commissions request and believe they can resolve those concerns. He believes the technical issues have been resolved. Mr. Knight I?resented a site plan and explained it to the board pointing out their shelterlng of the lumber storage yard itself from view of the neighborhood and the highway view corridor. Vi rouge Hairabedian, Architect, described the architectural design of the development and explained the character of the architecture. He referred to it as casual, western st~le.

The pedestrian bridge will be steel but colored to blend with the rest of the facility. Buildings 1 and 2 will be connected by the bridge and ADA ramps will also be available and located as required. Chairman Johnson asked about the southwest picture and the back of the building toward the residential area. Mr. Hairabendian stated the picture shows stucco but their plan is to incorporate wood siding. Discussion followed on the proposal. 5 Charlie Cole, owner of Northstar Lumber, stated they believe they are providing all the housing th~y are,able to on this,site and do~ng so , , appropriatel~. Mr. Cole belleves lf they are requlred to provlde addltlonal housing and lf they have to do so off site, they may need to develop all of their housing off site. Chairman Johnson voiced his appreciation to the developer for incorporating employee housing into this plan. He ~estioned the developer retaining ownership of the housing units and asked lf those units could be deed restricted. Mr. Cole responded there is no reason why they could not do that. Mr. Clarkson sU$gested that be part of the PUD guide. commissioner Phlllips moved to approve file number PD-330-95-P Northstar Home Center with the conditions stated being 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, with approval of the PUD guide and those uses as discussed, as well as approval of the PUD guide by final plat and deed restriction mechanism for the errployee housing units.
