City P&Z gives go ahead to new Holladay Place plans P&Z gives temporary approval to plans for new 22,000 s.f. strip center, development of outparcels which will include a Goodwill Store, Duo-County Telecom office. P&Z allows reduction of sidewalks, elimination of median berms, as requested by developers. Leaves design of retention basin to city, developer engineers to work out. By Ed Waggener The Columbia City Planning Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to give temporary approval to Holladay Place developers for a proposed strip center and for the site design of out parcel development at a hearing Thursday, January 24, 2008 in City Hall. Four members of the five-member panel were present, just a few days after an earlier hearing had to be cancelled because of failure to have a quorum. Chairman Joe Flowers presided, with members Lloyd French, Sue Stivers, and George Kolbenschlag also in attendance. Only member Anissa Radford was absent. City Clerk Carolyn Edwards recorded the proceedings. Among the new announcements learned at the meeting, were of the following:
The P&Z went along with a proposal by the Holladay Place Engineers, Arnold Consulting Engineering Services, Bowling Green, for a variance to P&Z rules to eliminate a sidewalk connecting outparcels fronting on a newly named street, Dohoney Trace, which parallels KY 61. And the P&Z agreed that a median berm, also required by city P&Z regulations, should go. Jeff Arnold, CEO of Arnold Consulting, said that his experience had been that the median berms in similar situations have proven to be unsightly and, in some cases, hazardous. "Truck drivers often cut across them, ruining whatever landscaping the projects owners may have have planted." Arnold was accompanied by John Sewell, E.I.T., who provided on the spot electronic research and other assistance for the presenter. The idea of a connecting road and sidewalk from the new Marketplace strip center project to Wal-Mart was left to the owners of those two developments. R.L. Walker, spokesperson for Holladay Place, said that he would think that both Wal-Mart and the strip center owners would want the convenient access. There is no certainty that the access will be built, but Walker told the P&Z that he would assume the owners of both parcels would want the access provided. All monument signage Jeff Arnold said that all signage in the center will be of monument design. "Even the main entrance for the Super Wal-Mart, will have monument signage. There won't be any signs on pylons," he said. Thorniest issue remaining is design of retention basin The thorniest issue for the commission concerned a retention basin with a drywell which will hold runoff from the center and KY 61. As designed, Arnold Consulting Engineering proposes a basin designed for a 3-hour 100 year downpour. City Engineer Greg Eastham argued at the standard today is designed for a 24 hour 100 year downpour. The biggest difference will be how deep the basin, which will be located across Old Burkesville Loop from the Bobby Sneed Body Shop, will be. The acreage, for either standard, would be virtually the same. R.L. Walker said that in any case, he and his group would build a nice plastic fence around the basin. "We don't want it to be an eyesore," he said. The unanimous vote Thursday night, to give temporary approval to the plan, left the solution to the retention basis design to the two engineers. The P&Z Board announced its next meeting would be on Tuesday, February 12, at 2:00pm. This story was posted on 2008-01-28 09:13:02
