PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS:
KNTC — CTA sent a request to lower their bond amount because of partial completion on their
project. They sent a new cost estimate on both Phases 1 & 2.
OLD BUSINESS:
Universal Mechanical — HVAC - 707 W Center St; remodel/Change of Use. We are supposed to
receive plans from them by mid -October. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Northwest Drywall —1109 E Oregon St; new warehouse in the Rail Park at the south end. They are
having discussions about shifting the building to the south or use Geo-piers. They may wait until
spring to begin. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Flathead Special Ed Co-op — 21 Meridian Ct; new school building. We are waiting on their
stormwater plan. They plan on asking for a variance from the City Manager and then the City
Council. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Maw — 25 Appleway on the south side; apartments. Two 4-plexes. Plans came in on this project,
and Public Works is presently reviewing them. They do not show a garbage enclosure. No
recreational amenity is shown. They will need to improve the area on the right and put in some sort
of park equipment. Drainage was discussed. This will be on the agenda for next week.
KNTC Apartments — Rose Crossing; new apartments. Final plans came in with their civil drawings.
They are still under review by Public Works. Fincher is good with the landscaping, and Dedman is
good with their hammerhead turnaround. There is a phasing plan. This will be on the agenda for next
week.
World Gym — Diamond Peak; new athletic club. Public Works is waiting for their resubmittal. Their
major issue is stormwater, as they don't have a stormwater component to their design right now.
They want to get the regional pond for the whole area approved first. They are showing some
improvements in the 50 ft. access easement, so they are going to make some adjustments. Sewer for
the NE corner will be served off of Church Drive. Anything to the south will have access to sanitary
sewer that will be run along Diamond Peak, and a leg to the north that will serve all four buildings
there. This will be on the agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS:
Sunrift Brewery — 55 —1 s' Ave WN; Phase 2 — convert existing building to a restaurant. They have
two bonds, one for ROW improvements and one for site improvements of landscaping and their
parking lot. They will probably do a replacement bond to extend the bond for on -site improvements.
Nothing for Public Works to review at this point. There are items that will need to be addressed in
the future. This will be on the agenda for next week.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
Turley - 749 W Center — change of use to auto restoration. This has been passed through Site
Review. This will be on the Planning Board agenda for next month.
Downtown Urban Renewal Plan — City Council will be having a Work Session on this on October
22nd. If approved, there will be a Public Hearing in the beginning of November.
Airport Road & 18' Street - Open House next Wednesday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Concept 41 is
moving forward. This will then go to the Council Work Session on October 22nd
OTHER REPORTS: None.
