PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: Haskins is still working on the spreadsheet to see if a
check off for each department can be added for use once required improvements have been
completed, and to make it more user friendly. Public Works is continuing to clean up the list to bring
it current.
OLD BUSINESS:
Universal Mechanical — HVAC - old Merganthaler building — Center St. Nothing has been
submitted since early June. Sorensen sent an e-mail to them and their designer. He told them that he
hasn't seen anything in a couple of months but there looks like there is some activity going on in the
building. They are not supposed to be in the building until all these improvements are completed and
they need to either vacate the building or get plans in. The architect said he has been trying to get
ahold of them, too. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Northwest Drywall — 1109 E Oregon St; new warehouse in the Rail Park at the south end. Their
final set of plans are not in yet, but they are making some adjustments. P. Jentz noted they are
looking at other options of how to move the building to fit better on the lot. This will be on the
agenda for next week.
Flathead Special Ed Co-op — 21 Meridian Ct; new school building. They met with P. Jentz last
week about stormwater. They still need to meet our stormwater standards. This will be on the
agenda for next week.
Maw — 25 Appleway on the south side; apartments. Two 4-plexes. This went through ARC. They
may ask for variances from Public Works for their stormwater. The CUP said they will have to
provide stormwater solutions, recreational amenities, sidewalks, ROW improvements, and a number
of other different things. The only way they can get eight units is to do a stormwater variance.
Nothing has been received from them yet. This will be on the agenda for next week.
KNTC Apartments — Rose Crossing — new apartments. Parker received new plans yesterday. The
greenbelt issue still needs to be addressed. They need to speak with Tabler about their street
addressing. Tabler stated he had given them two different addresses already. Sorensen asked if
Tabler would take a look at this and decide what addresses he will give those buildings, and then we
can update that in City Works. Public Works has this under review. Fincher will check his notes on
this project. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Turley - 749 W Center — change of use to auto restoration. Sorensen sent him an e-mail. He will
need a Conditional Use Permit, a submittal for ARC, and site plans. Parker needs to verify that they
are not putting any kind of drainage in there. Sorensen noted there are open questions, because if he
is doing restoration, is this a body shop? A body shop is not permitted in this zone. Parker stated
there are also ventilation requirements for a paint booth. There are a lot of potential complications.
This will be on the agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS:
Treeline Center Lot 2 — parking lot. Sorensen stated Grease Monkey is to the south, My Place
(hotel) is to the west, and the 3-tenant building under construction is to the east on the north half of
the lot. They are looking at putting in a parking lot while they are doing all their other paving this
fall. We would do a parking lot permit on this. Public Works will need to see that the grades match
for their approval. They will need a landscaping plan and a lighting plan. The layout shows a one-
way access with angled parking. There will be a 24-foot driving aisle that would connect the two
sides. Tabler needs a memo from TDH regarding stating that this new impervious area is consistent
with the subdivision's calculations that were previously submitted. We will need new photo metrics.
The new lighting is part of Lot 2. The boulevard lighting for the subdivision is on Lot 5. Reddig
asked if that lighting will be required to be installed as part of the overall subdivision. Sorensen
referred him to Nygren if it was a plat condition. This will be on the agenda for next week.
821— 8rb Ave W — retaining wall/apartment complex. They are interested in replacing their retaining
wall. The committee decided this does not need to go through Site Review.
175 Commons Loop — close in deck areas. They want to close in their deck area. They have more
than enough parking to support the additional square footage. There are no site changes other than
filling this in for an additional 400+/- square feet building expansion. This is passed through Site
Review.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: None.

OTHER REPORTS: None.
