The amount of parking spaces needs to be determined. This will be on the agenda for next week. Sterling School — This was on hold previously because of drainage issues in the ROW. They did come back with the idea of an irrigated lawn. When they decide to do the parking lot, they will need to come in to have it reviewed according to codes that are in affect at that time.

Walla asked about the open space and whether it is a detention pond or a large Swale area. Nygren noted there is a trail system that needs to be in there. It was an open space buffer from the Armory. This will be a trail system that connects into the greater trail system that will go through the PUD, and for landscaping. Walla noted they have a storm drain inlet pipe down at the bottom that collects stormwater. Nygren clarified that this site already has a storm pond further down south that is already accounted for this area so you won't need any storm. Tabler stated they put in a regional system for this phase. Nygren suggested they consider berming or trees next to the Armory. Tabler stated there is access management on Rose Crossing. Walla stated they will have an access off of Rose Crossing and one off of Jefferson. Tabler mentioned that there may have been access management on those proposed accesses, so they may not be allowed. Nygren noted the recreational aspect is taken care of in the PUD. Walla stated the owner will start out with two buildings on the south end as the first phase with all the parking lot built on the west side of that. The building on the NW corner and the one to the east would be a future phase. The Fire Chief may require another access or cul-de-sac. Walla stated there is no water main going down Rose Crossing to the intersection of Jefferson Boulevard, so all they have to tie into is either the water main going up Jefferson, or the extension that crosses over to the Armory just north of there. He asked for fire flow numbers on the hydrant. Their preliminary plan is to bring the water main down the west property boundary in an easement to the site, and then supply all the services from there. They don't have a plan to loop that system right now. Tabler stated that Public Works prefers utilities in roadways rather than cross country. They could bring a line in over from Jefferson Blvd. into the site with a fire access. Discussion was held. They are looking at adding in two additional hydrants. This is in the latecomer impact fee area. Nygren asked they try not to segregate the multi -family from the commercial. The meeting was adjourned at 10:32 a.m. cc: Police City Manager Fairgrounds Bldg. Fire City Clerk Planning Parks Comm. Dev 3 MDOT City Airport Public Works
