Mr. Certalic noted the City would prefer not to have the service lines under any structures. Discussion followed on developing North 27th Avenue. Mr. Springer noted they are looking for a favorable recommendation for not extending Oak Street the full distance in Phase 1. He and Mr. Mannachreck noted they are willing, as a compromise, to build out Phase 2 first so they only build one street with each phase. Discussion followed on the wording of the notation on the plat for the access. Mr. Springer questioned if they ask for leniency on constructing Oak Street and North 27th Avenue at the same time as the initial Phase, could Staff support it. Mr. Hixson noted that Staff could, but it is important to note that the City Engineer and the Public Service Director are the ones to make the decision. Chairperson/Planner Skelton noted that if Phase 2 were developed first, it would help Staff support the application. Discussion followed on a required secondary access. Chairperson/Planner Skelton noted that written comments are due next week. He asked Mr. Springer if he knows where Morrison-Maierle is on the design for North 27th Street. Mr. Springer noted he would be able to bring an update next week. 2.

Dan Kamp joined the DRC. Chairperson/Senior Planner Dave Skelton reviewed comments from last week. Fire Marshal Chuck Winn noted his department has two issues: 1-is the existing sprinklering connected as proposed. Dan noted it is all installed, however,the City hasn't connected it to the service line. Water/Sewer Interim Superintendent Mike Certalic noted that if a larger line is required, then the owner has to install the larger line. Mr. Winn noted that the existing fire sprinklers need to be serviceable before any further work is done. His second issue is with several items not being in compliance with the building code. Mr. Kamp noted that Jerry Taylor did the building code review and that is why there is the separation of the new bays from the existing ones by a fire door. Mr. Winn noted he would have a problem supporting the new bays until the non-conforming building and sprinklering system are addressed. Discussion followed on the service line needed for the sprinkler system. Mr. Certalic distributed his comments. Further discussion followed on the conditions and the locations of existing sewer and water mains. Chairperson/Planner Skelton noted that a decision will be made next week.

Mr. Roen noted he will investigate the ditch further and locate the termination of the water rights. He explained the layout of the lots, then asked for comments on the offset "T" intersection. Project Engineer Rick Hixson noted the City has always intended to extend Mendenhall Street as a through street. He noted that this design is against what the City intends to do.
