Thursday, April 14, 2011
Lower Level Main Conference Room
201 First Avenue East
ATTENDING:
Dwain Elkins, Plans Examiner Chad Fincher, Parks Superintendent
Charlie Johnson, Construction Manager P.J. Sorensen, Chairman
Kathy Kuhlin, Recording Secretary
HEAR THE PUBLIC: None.
PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: None.
OLD BUSINESS: None.
NEW BUSINESS: Westwood PUD amendment request — requesting an amendment to the
PUD to provide for the collection of a payment in -lieu of street trees to be collected at the
issuance of the building permit. Crowley and Burnham discussed this with Johnson and stated
they were not in support of this. They did their Letter of Credit for street trees, the trees were not
put in, and their security expired. They would still like to have street trees. They want to amend
the PUD to allow collection for payment in -lieu of street trees and collect at the time we issue the
building permit. Each unit would have two street trees that they'd be paying as a payment -in -lieu
fee in conjunction with the Building Permit. The PUD amendment would be recorded at the
Clerk and Recorder's Office, and new buyers would have constructive notice regarding this. This
can be deemed a minor change. Jentz noted that the bond failed and we have no other option but
to approve this. Everyone is in agreement to approve the PUD amendment.
KRMC — 310 Sunnyview Lane; ER admitting entrance — This is a minor change from the plans
they had previously submitted with the PUD. They plan on doing some internal work at the ER
entry and also doing a 8' wide, 40' long covered walkway which comes near their parking lot
driving, but is about 100' away from the right-of-way. The Fire Department is okay with this.
This is approved through Site Review.
Majestic Valley Arena — request for annexation — their property is in the county but sewer and
water are stubbed underneath Church Drive, into their property. They are interested in
developing a plan for the 40 acres of vacant land next to the arena, including an oversized
carwash, oversized gas station, and a 10-20 unit hotel. They want the 40 acres to come into the
City, but not the arena, by being annexed or signing a waiver of annexation or doing an
annexation district. Jentz is interested in the committee's input on what issues would we look at
if we annexed them. We would probably do this as a PUD. This development would need to
have access other than the highway.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Nothing for the May Planning Board Meeting.
At the last Planning Board Meeting, they recommended approval of the annexation of a single lot on
the west side of South Woodland; Samaritan House opening a kitchen in the old armory reserve
building for three meals a day for their residents; and a group home for four elderly adults/ assisted
living facility on Buffalo Hill Drive.
OTHER REPORTS: Johnson requested to put spoils on Four Mile Drive off of Stillwater Road
to give us a place to dispose of the spoils and to build the road back up. Fincher will check with
Baker on this. Johnson will check with the County on this also.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m.
