OLD BUSINESS:
Gateway Community Center —1203 Hwy 2 W; parking lot changes. Nothing has been submitted
yet. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Spring Prairie 4/Outlot C — 2292 Hwy 93 N; new commercial shell. This will be a second Jimmy
Johns and Charter Communications. Sorensen stated there were some building updates that came in
along with civils. Public Works is close to signing off on this. This will be on the agenda for next
week.
406 Dentistry — 1315 Hwy 2 W; remodel existing building/change of use from salon to office.
Tabler still has not heard back from Jackola as far as their phasing plan. He sent the request to Toby
McIntosh. This will be on the agenda for next week.
CHS Fuel Station — 1355 Rail Park Drive — New information has been submitted. Lalum and
Rohweder discussed the turning radiuses and curbs for the driving lanes. Sorensen stated that the
PUD Amendment will need to be done for the setbacks and landscaping. Rohweder stated he spoke
with Fincher about this. They plan on creating a larger, concentrated area for all the landscaping, and
take out all the other landscaping that was shown. All they will have coming into the site will be
communication line for the computers for monitoring the facility. There is a power pole that they
will move back a little bit to get the power to the canopy, the pumps, and out to the communication
area. Landis is reviewing for Dedman what the recommendations are for the setbacks for the fuel
tanks under fire codee. For the setbacks they want 15 feet. They have that for the tanks. They will
drill down to see the operations -wise of it. The tanks are double -walled and sit on concrete.
Sorensen stated that once the landscaping plan is finished, that will set the stage for making the PUD
Amendment proposal. They also need to go through Architecture Review. Tabler verified that their
driveway will be standard. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Ivy Building — 343 1" Ave W. Nothing new has been submitted yet. Sorensen stated presumably
they are doing some of the roofing work, pending the other plans coming in. This will be on the
agenda for next week.
Base Camp RV Park —1000 Base Camp Rd; south side of Hwy 93 bypass - bathroom and check in
buildings. The building permits we had in are part of the infrastructure in a sense per Sorensen.
There are three little bathroom buildings that were called out on the site. They are structures but they
are fairly minor. Their permits have not been issued because the impact fees have not been paid yet.
We are still working through the plat issues so this will remain on the agenda for next week. Tabler
stated the vault they are using for their water system will be above ground and they are building a
garage around it, approximately 30 feet by 20 feet. It will need a building permit and go through
ARC as well. Freyholtz stated that they are doing two different permits because of the way their
ROW has it designated as excess land along Ashley Meadows. Tabler added that we are still going
through an MOU because they switched going to a private lift station. They will be updating and
submitting their landscaping plan to Fincher for review. This will be on the agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS:
Glacier Bank — 49 Commons Loop; remodel. Near hospital on Commons Loop. They will be
remodeling the inside and outside with no expansion with some basement egress windows. They
have submitted their project for Architecture Review now. Sorensen stated that the main review for
Site Review is their additional parking area. Tabler is getting some information from their engineer
regarding overall site drainage. There is a regional pond northwest of the project that they will be
going to. We need them to do a few things to assure that it has the capacity for the additional
impervious area that they are adding to it. There is an updated landscaping plan for Fincher to
review. This will be on the agenda for next week.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
Frontier Village Apts. — multi -family - 128 units on Treeline Road. Their Preliminary Plat went to
the board yesterday.
Annexation — a lot on Sunnyside. Looking to annex the whole lot into the City and zone it R-4.
Nothing is proposed presently, but it may have a couple of townhomes in the future. This also went
to the Planning Board yesterday.

OTHER REPORTS:
Universal Mechanical — Sorensen stated that A2Z was doing their design. They have a paver lined
up. They were going to work on some of the building code requirements back in February. Sorensen
has set up a permit to issue and he put a disclaimer on it that we are not approving anything with the
site, and that continued use and occupancy of the building is subject to review and approval of all the
site issues. Public Works will need to sign off on storm drainage and their ROW permit in order to
issue the permit. Nothing has been received as far as what the scope of their site work might be.
Clawson stated that the permit for the building is for where they closed in the garage doors, the
handicapped ramp, and the awning out front. They had agreed to put in some more exit lights inside
and change the swing on the door. That is all it is for.
Women's and Children's Facility — Clawson stated a pre -final has been completed on all the life
safety issues. We gave them a letter that they can start bringing hospital staff in there for training
and bring in more hospital equipment. But since the outside is definitely not finished, we asked them
to call when those items are completed to get everyone signed off on this project and get them their
Certificate of Occupancy.
Glacier View - Regarding the sidewalk extension under the respite home CUP, it may make more
sense to put it on the west side of the street. We should take a look at a couple different ways to fit it
in.
The meeting was adjourned at 10 :40 a.m.
