Final Week Review 1. Blackwood II Z-9523 Dave Skelton indicated the project will be continued to May 23 , 1995 . 2 . Empire Building Materials Z-9550 Planner Skelton reviewed the proposal and indicated that because there are deviations involved, the DRC can only give a formal recommendation to the City Commission. He noted that a curb cut permit as well as landscaping will be required. He added that the chain link fence will need to be moved from the back of the curb to the property line. Mark Chandler stated the existing fence is 6 feet high with three (3) lines of wire. Planner Skelton remarked that the Department of Transportation probably will not allow for parking on East Main Street due to visibility concerns . Planner Skelton reiterated that, due to the deviations proposed, Planning staff is not in a position to support the project. Roger Sicz voiced concern regarding large truck turning movements and loading areas . Ron Hines responded that the number of semi- trailers loading & unloading at the site have been reduced. Roger Sicz indicated a preference of concrete in lieu of asphalt sidewalks . Karen Finke agreed. Roger Sicz moved, seconded by Chuck Winn, to recommend approval with the conditions recommended by the DRC and staff . The motion was vetoed with a 5- 1 vote, Dave Skelton voting against the proposal . B. Second Week Review 1. Jackpot East CUP Z-9540 Planner Windemaker reviewed the proposal and explained that the proposed casino, bar and restarurant would be a re-use of the existing Husky Station on East Main near Town Pump. Planner Windemaker noted the need for curbs and the utilization of the easterly driveway. Fred Shields questioned any known water meter changes and indicated that he needs to see the water meter location on the final plans . Planner Windemaker responded that she is not aware of any water meter changes . Rick Hixson indicated he needed drainage calculations for the retention area, as well as paving and curb details . He added that the property line needs to be identified as the property line on the final site plan. Roger Sicz inquired about the adequacy of the parking spaces . Planner Windemaker indicated that the minimum parking requirements are met with the proposed 23 parking spaces and one disabled accessible space. Roger Sicz remarked that he feels 23 spaces aren, t sufficient even though they would meet the minimum requirements . Dave Skelton remarked that, even though the proposal meets minimum parking requirements , the applicant should be required to provide more spaces . 2 . Bridger Creek Condos Z-9547 Planner Dave Skelton mentioned that the subject item will be opened and continued until further notice and may be discussed in two weeks . 3 . HRDC Major Site Plan Z-9553 Planner Arkell reviewed the project, noting three four-plexes will be constructed on one lot, and four tri-plexes on the other. She informed the committee the City Commission granted variances on May 15th to allow the structures to encroach in portions of the front and rear yards . HRDC calculated the parking using the requirements for apartments, which is two per unit, but the Planning Staff regards the units as tri-and four plexes, which rerquire 2 . 25 spaces per unit. Planner Arkell also noted the disabled ramps for the parking spaces encroach in to the front yard setback. Fred Shields indicated there are only three water and sewer stubs existing to service the east lot . It is doubtful they will be allowed to cut another one due to it being a new street, and the City' s policy prohibits cutting new streets for seven years . An exception could be requested from the City Commission. C. Discussion Item 1. Ponds Edge Minor Subdivision Planner Skelton remarked that the applicants will need to resubmit a new plat in a 50' scale. He asked that the applicant maintain 60' right-of-way and the same street standards as the Countryside Subdivision proposal by Lonnie Walker. Planner Skelton indicated the dead end water line from the south was not acceptable as proposed. Planner Skelton further remarked that the Fish Wildlife and Parks were moving forward with consideration of the land swap. 2 . Festival Square Minor Subdivision Pre. Plat Dave Skelton noted that Phill Forbes makes final decision it will not go to the board. No parking signs are needed to be put up on the West side of south 13th extended. A right-of-way is needed now to full standard city street so it will set the stage for the Planning office. Dave Skelton indicated the applicants are willing to put in a water and sewer stub. Roger Sicz recommended to build public a street before the building is built. Fred Shields indicated it is probably wide enough to accommodate; however Dave Skelton disagreed. Fred Shields indicated they probably would not go for it because it would cut the down number of duplexes . Lowell Springer indicated all he needed to know was what direction the planning committee was going. Lowell Springer stated that Backen will put in the street and he wants them to sign agreement that they get the contract. Lowell Springer will go back and tell the applicants that they recommend it be done all at once. Planner Skelton indicated that it is a private road and realizes the destination is far enough from 11th street so traffic will go on Babcock anyway. Lowell Springer stated he will submit a revised plan that shows a 60 ft. street.
