HEAR THE PUBLIC: None.
PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: Wal-Mart — They have requested their bond that
was posted for incomplete landscaping and lights be returned now. They said that the work has
been completed. Clawson noted that they were supposed to put in a demising wall in the back for
egress through their storage area, too. He told them he would attach it to that bond, so he will go
up there to make sure that has been completed. We may not want to release all of it.
OLD BUSINESS: ASI, (Van Ee Apartments) — 420 Grandview Drive — They are having a
ground breaking ceremony tomorrow. Public Works is still waiting on drainage and easement
information.
NEW BUSINESS: Town Pump — 439 W. Idaho and 2910 Hwy 93 S: both for Administrative
Conditional Use Permits for expansion of a casino (64 sq ft smokers' shelter) — the Idaho location
is in the back on the north side of the building. Architectural Review wanted to make sure it
didn't interfere with ADA or fire access. The Hwy 93 S location is on the south east corner.
Accessibility was questioned. Sprinklering was discussed. Public Works is okay with both of
these expansions.
Smith's — 195-3'd Avenue E.N. remodel — an addition that extends their cart area and some other
interior changes. They will also be adding a drive-thru for the pharmacy. They are wanting two
drive-thru lanes, which would change the entrance to a one-way. There was concern as to how
this would work with Fourth Avenue and how you would exit. Discussion was held regarding
different scenarios for this project, including the flow of traffic and stacking lanes. They will also
be adjusting their drainage a little bit.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: There will not be an August Planning Board meeting. The next
one is in September. The only items we have so far are two annexations: Flathead Beverage and
Triple W Equipment.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m.
