Ray Ruffatto, Deputy Fire Marshal Susie Turner, Assoc. Civil Engineer Guests: James Freyholtz, MDOT; Toby McIntosh, Jackola Engineering; Narda Wilson, Consultant; and Phil Neuharth, Real Estate Agent Hear the Public: F. Ray introduced D. C. Haas, the new Asst. Chief/Prevention. PJ also noted that F. Ray has been promoted to Deputy Fire Marshal. Performance Bond Reminders: Aspen Creek lift station needs telephone service, street signs, and some other punch list items. No additional building permits will be issued until these are completed. Muskrat Slough has drop dead deadline until things are done. OLD BUSINESS: The Meadows — 4 Mile Drive development; new clubhouse building and condominium buildings - New clubhouse building and condo — working on the PUD. Working through the street lighting with Fred. Mark is meeting with them at 2 o'clock today. They will bond for some of the improvements. F. Ray is working with the contractor regarding sprinklering system. Need to work out their development agreement. They will not receive any water meters until the pump station is completed. Double J Econolodge — 1680 Hwy 93 S — addition to existing hotel for six new rooms - No problem with the line coming through there and they can move forward with that. Some of the parking is non -conforming, but some conditions are already there. Landscape island by proposed addition. Approved through Site Review. Milbrandt Apartments — 1711 — 5th Ave E; adding 2-unit building to existing apartment complex — Working on the sidewalk, working with Charlie Harball, City Attorney, to get the SID waiver done. Parking is okay. Easement has been recorded between the two properties. Storm water is no longer an issue. Landscaping is okay. If put in an easement, they should run a separate connection off the hydrant main. Keep on the agenda. Glacier Quilts — Hutton Ranch; new retail building — Their parking backing into the driving lane is a point of discussion, but the same arrangement was approved for the Sportsman's Ski Haus project. They need to tie in their sidewalk to the rest of the project. They are proposing a right -in only off of the highway somewhere to the south of the building. Keep this on the agenda. Universal Athletics — N Meridian/Husky St (preliminary review) - Single story, no eaves, primary issue is off street access, there is an easement in place, circulate out Meridian and tie into Husky. Does north entrance tie into the post office? This could be an issue. Five foot boulevard between sidewalk and curb and extend the sidewalk to the western end. Access on south end of building — fire could drive around 360 degrees in there. Show easement. Landscape to the southern property line. Fire separation from the property line. Five foot setback on the property line. Is this part of the contaminated site? They may have to treat the dirt or put in a crawl space to hold the ground water as the ground water could be contaminated with fuels. They should check with the local DEQ office. They may need to line their water. Toby will pass this information on to the owner. Ten foot separation wall for fire. Eastern approach is okay. All retail - athletic store, with some potential additional lease spaces. NEW BUSINESS: None. PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Three Mile South Subdivision - Pre -application — Narda presented - Three Mile near future by-pass, residential subdivision. Smaller, single family units and some three unit townhouses. Common open space in the middle, all units facing the common space, with the garages in the rear. (Jeff later voiced a concern about the garages all facing the road.) MDOT has taken a portion of the site. The southwest corner on the southern boundary includes a portion of unusable remainder. Approximately 9'/2 acres. DOT has given them an approach in the center of the property from the north. There is an off ramp deceleration lane. This is 125' from North Riding. Would like to move it to the east to line up with Riding. They are talking about a 45' loop road as this provides access to all of the lots (need 60 ft ROW, with possible exception of ROW adjacent to bypass, which may be less since the bypass ROW will have a bike path). 6,000 sq. ft. or more sized lots. East boundary, if it ends up being a road that is shared with the property owners to the east, could be an issue on how improvements are made. 20' pedestrian access that would serve the common area and an area for drainage. Lines on east side line up with Liberty extension for future access. East west road connection 600 feet from the north boundary. Put in curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the road, perhaps they could do a late comers development agreement. Fire access is okay. Mountain Vista Phase 4 — single family residential. Non -delineated area. Developers will do a flood study. Keep the beginning work away from the stream. Waiting for BFE on this. Coming in as R-3, and subject to the covenants. Could change the name if not under the same PUD as the rest of Mountain Vista. They will need a spot for a sewage pump station. They may try to tie in with Cottage Gardens. They have 11-12 E-1's on the corner. Need pre-treatment and detention pond. Parkland will be common area. May do improvements to Mountain Vista's park. Could probably add to Cottage Gardens parkland. Provide park access. R-3. 5' side setbacks. They will go forward on this. Ashley Square — No new information. Water connections are on the east side of the subdivision and sewer runs along the highway. They need to show how they will get water and sewer. They will have to get an easement if they cross private property. Get the parking clarified. The sign would need to come into compliance. They will need to put in sidewalk and bike path when the property develops. Developing this site will be taking out the majority of their landscaping. They may need to put some landscaping in somewhere on the parking lot. Ashley Park Phase 9 — will be resubmitting soon. Starling in Section 39 — will be coming in April 9 or 10. OTHER REPORTS: None.
