the 4 items on the agenda,Planner Dean Patterson has requested a Continued Review on the

he will provide a memo in the next DRC packet with information on what is needed from the
Jaramus's to satisfy DRC.
A. SECOND WEEK REVIEWS
1. 4K Partnership MPA &ZMA#P-9656/#Z-96101 - (Williams)
Story Mill Road and Hillside Lane
- A Master Plan Amendment Application to change the land use designation
from Residential to Business Park/Industrial and A Zone Map Amendment
Application to change the present zoning from R-S (Residential Suburban)
to BP (Business Park) or M-1 (Light Manufacturing) on 1.6039 acres.
Gene Cook joined the DRC. Planner Christopher Williams reviewed the project. Mr. Cook
explained that the proposed uses are light industrial. He noted that there is a row of trees which
might buffer the property beyond the trees. Planner Williams noted that the adjoining residents
may make comments regarding this proposal following the mailing of the adjoiner notices the end
of this week.
Chairperson Skelton asked if annexation would be required before the use of City services would
be allowed. Fire Department Operations Coordinator Al Scholes noted that the fire department
couldn't support this project without annexation. Mr. Cook asked if the property were annexed,
would it be allowed to use City water services. Mr. Scholes indicated the use would be allowed
following annexation. Planner Williams noted that the adjacent property is annexed. Discussion
followed on the availability of City services.
Chairperson Skelton noted that DRC generally looks at the most intensive use for MPA's and
ZMA's when reviewing. He noted that since Mr. Cook is anticipating annexation, the
water/sewer may not be a problem.
Discussion ensued on possible uses of the area and the densities that might be allowed. Mr. Cook
noted that whatever the M-1 use would be, all work would be done inside buildings.
Development Review Committee-January 28, 1997 1
Chairperson Skelton reminded everyone that no decision will be made by this committee,
however, comments are requested from each department for inclusion in the staff report.
B. FIRST OF TWO WEEK REVIEW
1. North Meadows MaSub Pre-Application#P-9701 - (Arkell)
Durston Road,just west of and adjoining Greenway Subdivision
- A Major Subdivision Pre-Application Application to divide 23± acres into
27 lots of R-3 and R-4 zoned property.
Chairperson Skelton presented the project. He noted that Planner Arkell's concern is how
detailed a traffic study will be required. He asked if DRC would be in support of a partial or
complete waiver of an environmental impact statement for the preliminary plat. He noted that
there is a proposal for phasing, so the infrastructure will probably be phased also. Discussion
ensued on changes made in this application since the informal review.
Mr. Scholes noted that there is no problem for his department, the applicants just need to install
the hydrants.
2. Bridger Creek MaSub Phase 2, Final Plat Review and Approval#P-9703 -
2711 McIlhatten Road (Skelton)
- A discussion of the conditions of Preliminary Plat approval.
Keith Belden and Jim Ullman joined the DRC. Chairperson Skelton asked Mr. Belden to review
the conditions that the applicant is requesting to be modified. He noted that condition#40 is one
of the conditions.
Mr. Belden gave a history of the project, including the building of Story Mill Road and McIlhatten
Road to county standards. He continued that they now want to pave Story Mill Road to a full 28'
width to allow for bicycle traffic on the shoulder. However,during the public hearing before the
Planning Board, several members of the Planning Board noted that"No Parking" signs should be
installed along the roadway. Mr. Belden met with Planning Director Epple who advised him to
put the applicant's concerns into writing and present them to the DRC. Mr. Belden explained the
parking already available on site, and noted that the County Road Superintendent Sam
Gianfrancisco has stated that he doesn't want"No Parking" signs along the roadway.
Chairperson Skelton noted that this item will be discussed again next week. He asked Mr. Belden
to explain the other conditions that are being requested to be modified. Discussion ensued on the
condition for easements for the water lines. Mr. Belden doesn't think that the completion of the
looped water line for Phase 2 is reasonable. He also noted that the State is doing basically a
cursory review of the City's water/sewer plans as Iona as these systems are within the City.
Chairperson Skelton asked if Rex Easton had found the originals of the Waivers of Right to
Protest. Neither Mr. Belden nor Mr. Ullman knew if he had.
Chairperson Skelton noted that there are 42 conditions to be satisfied. He asked Mr. Belden to
Development Review Committee-January 28, 1997 2
highlight any conditions that are a concern. Mr. Belden noted that the condition regarding
covenants is out of their control. Chairperson Skelton noted that the City Attorney and Mr.
Easton's attorney are discussing the covenants.
Project Engineer Karen Finke asked about the location of LF -3 in condition#8 and, if it is part
of phase 3, why is it being discussed now. Mr. Ullman explained that the location is in the right-
of-way, but out of the roadway, therefore, could be constructed now.
Chairperson Skelton noted that a meeting will be set up with the applicants, Mr. Forbes, and Mr.
Brawner to work out the details yet to be addressed. Mr. Belden noted that most of the
improvements are in and explained the section of water line that's not in and the completion of
McIlhatten Road. He noted also that they plan to file the Final Plat with a financial guarantee to
complete these items.
