PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: Aspen Creek — Mark Sanchez contacted Crowley
regarding an outstanding bond for Aspen Creek. Crowley spoke with Fincher to determine if it is
ready to be released. All that is remaining are some pedestrian bridges.
Kalispell Center Mall Bond — This bond is still in place. There will be a meeting next week to walk
through the site to see if all their requirements have been met according to what was bonded for in
2006, and see if their current plans for Starbucks tie in with their original plans. They are
reconfiguring their entrance off of Center at 1 st Avenue West. Sorensen noted that LeClair is working
on a Waiver of Preliminary Plat for Starbucks. He also had suggested to them that they do an
outdoor plaza area for outdoor seating, slide the building over some, and bring a drive-thru lane from
the north and loop around.
Outstanding Performance Bond — Crowley stated he would like to have a meeting soon about the
Outstanding Performance Bonds to try to get the older ones resolved. (A meeting has been set for
February 27th at 10:30 a.m., right after our Site Review meeting.)
OLD BUSINESS: Faith Free Lutheran Church — 405 Liberty; sanctuary addition to existing
church. They are not sure of when they will go ahead with this addition. Dan Brien from Sand
Surveying and Pastor Snipstead met with Sorensen on this. There are a couple of adjustments that
we are going to be making through our Administrative Adjustment process for setbacks and height.
They are willing to do the handicapped ramp off the west end of the building, although it is not
required. They are talking with Fincher about their street trees. Another condition on their CUP was
to provide a sidewalk connection from the door on the south side of the building to the sidewalk
along Liberty Street. It doesn't make sense to require this anymore, because there is a stormwater
retention area that wasn't part of the original plan. There is also a storage addition so there won't be
any doors coming off the south side. The committee agrees that a sidewalk on the west end of the
building would not be necessary. They have been advised about the storm drain concerns. They have
put in some dry wells. Dedman noted they will need to sprinkler their building. This will be on the
agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS: None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: There will be a Public Hearing for a CUP and then have a work
session to continue on with the growth policy, including public infrastructure and the annexation
policy. They will reconfirm some of the implementation strategies at the end of the document.
OTHER BUSINESS: Northland, Phase 4 — Their Final Plat Application will be going to the
Council in March.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
