MEMBERS PRESENT: Dave Skelton, Neil Poulsen, Larry Woodward, Chuck Winn, Craig Brawner STAFF PRESENT: Christopher Williams, Chris Saunders, Debbie Arkell, Karen Finke, - Rick Hixson, Carol Schott VISITORS PRESENT: Tony Wastcoat, Dick Embry, Rick Coffman, Tad Tsukamoto, Joan Rudberg, Charles Hinesley, Gail Scholtzler B. INITIAL WEEK REVIEWS 1. Diamond Estates MaSub P-9635 - (Saunders) 4521 Durston Road - A Major Subdivision Application to subdivide the southern portion of the parcel, 5.779 acres, into 9 lots for single family development and the remaining northern portion, 14.178 acres, will be considered Lot 5 of Block 1. Planner Chris Saunders presented the project. He distributed a master plan for the whole property. He noted that currently the City doesn't master plan County District 1, however, the Planning Office suggested an informal master plan for transportation. He explained the minor collectors, minor arterials, and local street (Meagher) through the subdivision. Planner Saunders explained the project. He noted that the water line will be excessively long. A temporary park access easement should be granted until Meagher Street or Oak Street is completed in this area, which will allow access from either of them. He continued that the park is currently shown in the northeast corner and is 2.195 acres. He also noted that access to Durston Street will be at an angle. He continued that the area is zoned for R- 3A. He inquired if there needs to be an encouragement for one inch stubs. Planner Saunders identified seven issues preliminarily identified by Planning Staff: (1) Waiver of secondary access from the subdivision (2) Waiver of deadend water main extension (3) Adequacy of temporary turn around and access easement to the park (4) Location of the park land (5) Review of the Concept Plan submitted with the plat - location of cross streets (6) Duplex possibilities for the lots with R-3-A zoning, provision of adequate service stubs - should we request I" stubs, meters can be smaller if needed? (7) Adequacy of the access to Durston with the proposed angled intersection. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted a need for a condition to limit the lots to duplexes rather than townhouses. Mr. John McNeil of the Parks Department asked if there had been any discussion on the irrigation ditch. Planner Saunders explained. Discussion ensued on the transferring of water rights. Mr. McNeil wants the ditch abandoned. He noted that Planner Saunders will need to establish who has water rights in that ditch, and if not abandoned, who will maintain the ditch should flooding or other disaster occur. Discussion ensued on the ditch crossings on Durston and the possibility of relocating of the ditch diversion point. Project Engineer Karen Finke noted that storm water retention/detention fat;ilities need to be shown. Chairperson Skelton inquired about the Recreation Board's thoughts on a transfer of this park acreage to Rose Park. Mr. McNeil explained that the City Commission is reluctant to do that kind of transfer. Discussion ensued on the location of the park. Mr. McNeil suggested using the ditch easement for the park access easement. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1996 CITY COMMISSION ROOM, CITY HALL, 411 EAST MAIN 10:00 A.M.

INFORMAL REVIEW 1. Chuck Hinesley Planner Debbie Arkell introduced Mr. Chuck Hinesley and explained that the proposed project is located west of and adjoining Greenway Subdivision and north of Willow Subdivision. The property is in County Zoning District #1. She asked Mr. Hinesley to explain his proposal. Mr. Hinesley explained that he wants to annex and change the zoning to R-4 and build 8- plex condominiums in three phases on the northwest 1/3 of the property. The remainder would be individual lots. He stated the concept is to build housing that blends with the area and provide affordable housing. Chairperson Skelton suggested that he gain access to subsidy bonuses by doing his project as a PUD. Discussion ensued on that topic. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted that this project would require annexation before being considered for approval. Planner Arkell noted that Villard and Michael Grove would be public streets. She also noted that the internal streets for the condos would be private driveways. Mr. John McNeil from the Parks Department noted that the park needs to be moved to Lots 10 and 11 to match the park with the land to the south. Water Superintendent Larry Woodward asked Mr. Hinesley how he proposed to run the water and sewer lines. Mr. Hinesley unrolled the site plan and discussion ensued on it. Mr. Woodward commented on main sizes. Mr. Brawner commented that the overall water looping looks good. Chairperson Skelton asked how he plans to do the phasing. Mr. Hinesley explained that he wants to put in the public streets, then do phase 1. He would then tie into the utilities and build phase 2 and the same with phase 3. He explained the storm water drainage. Planner Arkell explained that Staff probably can't support the R-4 zoning, but suggested that he propose it that way and let the City Commission determine the zoning. Chairperson Skelton suggested Mr. Hinesley plan a dense core (R-4) with less dense edges (R-3) to buffer the adjoining properties. City Engineer Craig Brawner suggested that Mr. Hinesley avoid T intersections, such as those proposed at Villard and Michael Grove Mr. Brawner stated that Villard will eventually connect to Valley Drive, and the City will require either a direct or curvilinear alignment of Villard and Michael Grove, noting the proposed T intersections do not work well. MR. Hinesley expressed conctrn with a 4-way intersection of the 2 streets. . Planner Arkell asked Fire Marshal Chuck Winn about the accesses to the 8-plexes. Fire Marshall Winn explained that the driveways are 30 feet wide, and he could see no problems with the project. City Engineer Brawner noted that a portion of the development is in a sewer payback area. Also a retention/detention pond will have to be on a commonly owned lot. Water Superintendent Woodward noted that the water will have to be looped with phase 1. Discussion ensued on the looping possibilities. Water Superintendent Woodward noted that the water cannot deadend at Villard due to the length of the line. Fire Marshal Chuck Winn noted that he is trying to keep from splitting the property into two pieces due to safety features. Discussion ensued on the intersection of Villard and Michael Grove and slowing east-west traffic. Mr. Hinesley stated he plans to tube the irrigation ditch. Chairperson Skelton commented the Soil Conservation Service has indicated they will no longer permit the relocation or tubing of irrigation ditches. City Engineer Brawner moved, Mr. McNeil seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
