Final Week Review 1. Spring Meadows Z-9535 Planner Arkell explained that the DRC requested revisions to the plans had been made and distributed said revisions . She indicated that the final decision will be made by the DRC on May 2 , 1995, to give the committee members time to review the changes . Final comments will be due on May 2, 1995 . B. Initial Week Review 1. Sundance Springs PUD Z-9538 Planner Arkell reviewed the proposal and indicated that the DRC will review the entire 147 acre proposal . She noted that when the developer is constructing Phase I, they will be leaving Phase VI, which will be totally surrounded by development, and she is not sure if they can have two remainders . She said that the proposed private streets will have no curb and gutter, and will be constructed to a County paving standard. Fred Shields remarked that the water line will need a full utility access easement if Goldenstein is not dedicated. Planner Arkell indicated that she will check with the County Clerk and Recorder to see if there is an existing easement . Craig Brawner confirmed with Planner Arkell that the phasing of the project is clear in the application. John Paysek noted that possible water delivery problems to the western portion of the site have not been addressed. He remarked that the applicant' s engineer, Dave Crawford (Thomas , Dean & Hoskins) had indicated that there is a real potential for the sewer to bottleneck down Fairway Drive. He added that several hundred feet of sewer pipeline will be over capacity by the time this development comes to fruition. Roger Sicz confirmed with Phill Forbes that the South 3rd and Kagy project is scheduled to begin the summer of 1996 . He noted the traffic problem in the area. C. Informal Review 1. MSU Residence Hall Planner Arkell reviewed the proposal and indicated that the applicant mainly interested in utilities and fire access for two possible locations , both on MSU property, west and northwest of the Hedges Complex. Roger Sicz confirmed that the access would be on Lincoln. Planner Arkell indicated that the access could possibly be on Garfield as well . Fred Shields remarked that the City does own any water and sewer lines at the proposed sites . John Paysek remarked that the MSU lines have about 70 lbs of pressure and that Dave Crawford has been working with the applicant and has assured the applicant that there will be adequate pressure in the lines . He noted three potential points of connection with the connection to South 15th the most desirable. He asked that the applicant provide a full study on water and sewer for the proposal . John Paysek noted a potential problem with the sewer line going into West College and suggested that that line be subject to a TV survey. Craig Brawner remarked that if any problems with the sewer in College are worked out, the applicant can possibly serve the site without cutting the street. He added that approval for cutting into College would need to be obtained from the City Commission. John Paysek voiced concern regarding traffic impacts . Roger Sicz remarked that Lincoln should have sidewalks installed as well as curb and gutter. Roger Sicz remarked that Garfield needs a left turn lane immediately. Chuck Winn remarked that the proposed structures are to be 2 to 3 stories . Dave Crawford commented that there will be no kitchen facilities , and students will utilize the existing cafeteria at North Hedges . After a general discussion regarding pedestrian and vehicular traffic, Don McLaughlin noted the potential for a pedestrian/bike link that could extend all the way to the Main Mall without being near a major road. Roger Sicz voiced concern regarding traffic and the contribution that the subject proposal would have to the problem. Don McLaughlin confirmed that a light will be put in at 19th and College. Craig Brawner suggested that an overall traffic study be performed on the entire university area. Don McLaughlin noted the proposed pedestrian walkways through the parking area. Craig Brawner remarked that no loading or demand information has been provided to accurately evaluate what the project' s constraints may be. Dave Crawford responded that they will try to get adequate storm water detention in the landscaping of the parking area as well as water and sewer flow calculations . Craig Brawner noted that plans are being reviewed for a potential 12" water line down Lincoln. Dave Crawford noted a 10" loop which runs around the site and said that he doesn' t see that as being over capacity. He added that his firm would like to flow the hydrants in the area. Planner Arkell commented that there will most likely be no zoning review on the proposal as the project is on MSU lands and is not in an Overlay District. Don McLaughlin said that they want to begin the construction documents between Christmas and New Years, and have the preliminary plans done by June 22nd. He continued that they are targeting construction to begin in March of 1997 so that students can occupy in July or August of 1997 .
