A. FINAL WEEK REVIEW 1. Ranch & Home MiSP Z-9673 - (Patterson) 2275 North 7th Avenue - A Minor Site Plan Application to allow parking lot expansion to the south of the existing facility. Chairperson Dave Skelton introduced the project, introduced Mr. Dave Crawford, and noted that a decision will be made on the project today. Planner Patterson reviewed the project. Discussion ensued on snow removal and storage in the parking areas. Consensus was it was allowable as shown as long as driveways weren't obstructed. Mr. Crawford inquired if anyone had clarified the issue of the sidewalks being included in the KBMN subdivision. Discussion ensued. Mr. Crawford noted that he had found that the improvements went with the KBMN subdivision. Chairperson Skelton noted that he would be in favor of requiring the sidewalks now if this were a commercial or retail sales area, however, since it is a storage and parking area, the sidewalk probably won't be required. Discussion ensued on a street standard for Flora Lane and who will develop it. KBMN has 18 months from the filing of the final plat to do the improvements and filed the final plat. Discussion ensued on the status of the Mandeville Lane improvements. Mr. Sicz expressed concern about the improvements to Mandeville Lane, the proposed signalization of Mandeville/Griffin Drive and North 7th Avenue, and the impact of the change in flow of traffic in that area. Discussion ensued on adjoining properties. Discussion followed on gating the storage area and giving a key to the fire department. DRC concurred that there is a short amount of time before Flora Lane is required to be paved. Planner Patterson noted that a condition will be that the existing chain link fence on the property line will be required to be moved back to 25' along Flora Lane. Mr. Crawford noted that the fence has already been moved. Mr. Hixson presented the comments from the Engineering Department for MR. Paysek. He 1 noted the comments are basically boilerplate. Mr. Crawford asked about comment #3 - the sidewalk requirement and noted that was acceptable if it applies to internal sidewalks to move people from one area to another and not along Flora Lane. Mr. Forbes moved, Mr. Winn seconded, that the project be approved as per Planning and Engineering conditions. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Chairperson Skelton reviewed the appeal process and noted that the intent to appeal would have to be filed by 5:00 this Friday. 2 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

Chairperson Dave Skelton introduced the project. Planner Debbie Arkell introduced Mr. John Curran and Mr. Rich Heck. She noted that the Code requires the parking lot to be broken up with landscaping islands, suggested a cross walk be striped across Old Highland Blvd for pedestrian safety, and noted a correction on the driving isle width of the west parking lot. Mr. John McNeil noted the City will install a gravel road this fall or next spring along the north boundary of the hospital parking lot from Old Highland to Burke Park. Because of the proposed road, the proposed landscaping will need to be moved out of that area. Discussion ensued on the location of the road and the landscaping. Mr. Curran asked if the roadway could be a joint venture so the road could serve both properties. Mr. McNeil concurred that would be the best solution. Planner Arkell clarified that there would be no setback requirements for a joint access. Discussion continued on the road, screening, and landscaping. Mr. Curran asked to meet with Mr. McNeil and Mr. Forbes to discuss the road issue more fully. Mr. Winn inquired about the hydrant locations. Mr. Curran explained two possible locations in the west lot and clarified the existing water main locations. Mr. Winn noted a concern about the location of hydrants in regard to future phases of the hospital. He suggested locating one of the hydrants in the south parking lot landscaping island. Mr. Woodward noted that one fire hydrant isn't shown on the plans. Mr. Heck noted that the hydrant is being relocated. Discussion ensued on removal of and replacement of hydrants. Mr. Woodward noted that his department can service all of the existing sewer manholes. He will require that all new manholes be accessible by his trucks. Chairperson Skelton noted that a formal recommendation must be made next week to the Planning Board. Mr. Curran asked what is needed in the sequence narrative that Mr. Forbes is requiring. Planner Arkell noted that Mr. Forbes was referring to a sequence of events for 3 construction of the water and sewer plans and how that installation relates to the building plans. Mr. Curran noted that a full set of plans and construction sequencing will be submitted before any plans have to be approved. Chairperson Skelton asked for written comments from DRC for next week's meeting. 4 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

(First of two week review.) Chairperson Dave Skelton introduced the project. Planner Debbie Arkell explained that it is located on Durston Road and that the application is also an application for annexation.

Discussion ensued on utilities at the end of Durston Road. Mr. Roger Sicz inquired as to the timetable for turn-lane signalization at 19th Avenue and Durston Road. Discussion ensued on the cost of signalization, who should pay for it, and congestion existing in that area. Mr. Forbes noted that the City will need waivers for improvements to Durston Road.

She inquired if a waiver was need for improvements to Babcock. Phill Forbes indicated it would not be required. She will check on the payback areas for sewer and water installations. 5 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

He also noted that this development will increase traffic flow from a level C to a level D. He explained the development proposed and in progress in the area. He noted that the engineering company is showing an increase in traffic on Ferguson Road and Huffine Lane. Planner Saunders inquired about the possibility of this development contributing to the signalization for that intersection. Discussion ensued on parkland. Planner Saunders reviewed concerns of the Planning Office. Mr. John McNeil reviewed the lack of the required Master Plan for the park and noted that a park's maintenance district was to have been developed as a condition of approval for Phase L Mr. Larry Woodward noted that all plumbing shown is in violation of code, so he will have a condition for individual stubs for each dwelling. He needs existing and proposed installations indicated on the final site plan and the lines tested. Mr. Belden inquired if the City would install and do the testing. MR. Woodward noted that the City doesn't have the man power to do it. Discussion on installation of infrastructure. Planner Saunders noted that Staff would not be able to support the requested variance and explained why. Mr. Belden asked for code sections for any part of the application that Staff cannot support. Planner Saunders suggested dropping one lot and making the other lots conforming lots and put in the infrastructure for townhouses. 6 Mr. Sicz suggested that the way to handle the street cut cracks might be to require a 10 year guarantee that the developer will do all street repairs. Planner Saunders suggested building duplexes, then no street cuts would be needed. Mr. Forbes noted that this will mildly affect the paybacks in this area. 7 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.
