application and the recommended conditions. He noted two more letters of opposition had been received
from David Knox and Ann Lockie. Phill Forbes joined DRC.
Mr. Dougherty noted the current accesses to the alley on a map had been prepared. He had shaded in the
various uses to clearly depict them. He noted the intensity of alley use towards Lamme Street. He continued
that most of the letters of opposition are coming from people who live in an area of open yards, yet just south
of them are alley uses for garages and second dwelling units.
Project Engineer Karen Finke reviewed the Engineering Department's conditions (on file in the Planning
Office). Mr. Dougherty noted he has met with the bus barn people about at least installing rain gutters. He
continued that they are not interested in plowing the alley,however, Mr. Stabile has indicated he will hire it to
be plowed.
Sewer/Water Superintendent Larry Woodward noted his first four conditions are standard. Conditions #5 and
#6 deal with plumbing code and water service. Planner Patterson asked if a fixture count should be provided.
Mr. Woodward noted that the fixtures will determine if the existing uses are adequate.
Planner Patterson noted that the Design Review Board had a question about sewer capacity in that part of
town. Mr. Woodward noted that area is part of the INI study currently being done. Ms. Finke noted there
wouldn't be a significant increase in waste water with the addition of a single family dwelling. City Engineer
Craig Brawner concurred.

dedications, accesses and encroachments. (All memos, written comments, and Staff Reports are on file in the
Planning Office.)
Project Engineer James Nickelson noted the Final Site Plan needs more detail than that shown on the CUP
application materials. City Engineer Craig Brawner noted there are parking lot issues. He asked about the
status of getting the right-of-way for Stucky Road as a City street. Discussion followed on Stucky Road and
the status of the easements/rights-of-way for improvements to it. Mr. Kamp noted he had received
clarification form Morrison-Maierle showing the property line to be located in the center of Stucky Road.
Chairperson Skelton asked Planner Olsen to check with Mr. Gianfrancisco on the road type and the
easements/rights-of-way. Mr. Brawner noted that Stucky Road is Master Planned to be an arterial, however
Mr. Forbes noted that with Kagy Boulevard being an arterial, Stucky Road would probably be downgraded to
a collector. Mr. Brawner noted that what ever right-of-way is required should be acquired starring with this
proj ect.
Planner Olsen noted the applicants are hoping to annex in the future and connect to City services. Discussion
followed on the location of future water and sewer mains. Mr. Kamp asked if they should show where future
connections to City services will occur. Mr. Brawner suggested not showing them, as the sewer and water
line locations might change. He noted also that he wasn't in favor of having the lines installed and lying dead
for a number of years before being connected to City services.
Fire Marshal Chuck Winn asked if there would have to be a water main extension for the fire hydrants when
the property annexes. Mr. Woodward noted there would be that requirement. Mr. Kamp noted that the
County will not require them to sprinkler the building.
Chairperson Skelton noted that a formal recommendation is needed next for the Planning Board and City
Commission.
Mr. Winn moved, Mr. Nickelson seconded, that the meeting be adjourned. The motion carried and the
meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m.
