PD-264-95-A, Edwards Interchange Carmercial Center
PD-330-95-P, Northstar Home Center
Paul Clarkson presented file numbers PD-264-95-A, Edwards Interchange
Commercial Center and PD-330-95-P, Northstar Home Center. He stated a
building/home irrprovement center is proposed with Northstar Lumber as the
anchor business. He stated other businesses corrpatible with this theme are
plumbing, li$hting and electrical, appliance, furniture, cabinetry, yard and
garden supplles. Other types of homeowner service businesses will be
encouraged to locate at the site. Mr. Clarkson stated two 2 - bedroom and two
I-bedroom errployee housing units are also proposed. The existing Edwards
Interchange Commercial Center was approved and final platted but never built
and is broader in its conmercial nature. He stated this new plan proposes
less maximum floor area (45,000 vs. 82,000 sq. ft.). The PD-264-95-A file
number is an aI?plication to amend the existing Edwards Interchange Commercial
Center PUD zonlng to the Northstar Home Center PUD zonin$. Mr. Clarkson
informed the Board the major conformance issue at this tlme is that of
errployee housing. The applicant is proposin$ housing for ten errployees.
Staff does believe the applicant should provlde employee housing for 27
errployees based on the Arrowhead at Vail Affordable Housing formula. Mr .
Clarkson pointed out the preliminary plan is not in conformance with the
Sketch plan and information requested or required by the Board upon approving
the Sketch Plan. The uses listed in the PUD Control Document are more
expansive than allowed by the Board at Sketch Plan approval but it has been
demonstrated that doing so is appropriate.
At their public meeting of June 21 and July 5, 1995, the Eagle and
Colorado Valley Planning commission recommended approval with the conditions
as listed in staff's presentation.
Terrill Knight, representing the applicant, introduced Charlie Cole and
Scott Hovey, owners of Northstar Lumber, as well as vi rouge Hairabedian,
architect for the project.
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. He showed the pedestrian bridge which will
be high enough for semi -trallers to drive underneath. The proposed materials
are stucco and heavy timber. 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.

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
