NEW BUSINESS: Depratu — Glacier Volkswagen — 11,000 sq. ft. building, non-sprinklered
building to be placed on one of the 2 lots that the council approved through the zoning PUD process
in March. The provided plans were discussed. They are still negotiating with MDOT regarding their
accesses on Highway 93. Presently there are several accesses shown. There will be an on -site
retention pond (bio-retention area). Drainage was discussed. The footprint was set by stormwater
quality measures and can also handle peak flows. The addendum plan shows the change in where the
water will be coming in. Sewer was also discussed. Larson is working on a landscape plan, but he is
concerned with so many utilities along the boulevard that planting trees there will tear up the utility
lines. There will be a bike path on Highway 93 and on Lower Valley Road. They will have a 20'
Pylon lit sign, and a smaller one. Hydrant locations were discussed with Dedman. A Transportation
Impact Study will be provided. An agreement will need to be made with Gardner regarding their
adjoining property and their shared access. LeClair asked about the lighting details and about the
location of their garbage containers. This will be going to Architectural Review on Tuesday, and will
be on the Site Review Agenda again next week.
