OLD BUSINESS: Spring Creek Apartments Ph 2 — Public Works: The plans for phase 2 are
still being reviewed and the last issue their department has is storm drainage. Fire: Still waiting
for the final drawings that indicate the hydrant locations, turn radius from the end of phase 1 to
phase 2, moving the hydrant and an all-weather road. Sorensen noted the road would be installed
when they start the work on phase 2 and Fire agreed. Building: The plans have been reviewed.
The permit is ready to issue when they receive the impact fees from Public Works. Zoning:
Sorensen said he wants to see the final layout. Sorensen will contact Parks to see if they have any
issues.
There was brief discussion regarding the storm drainage issues.
Montana Club — Sorensen said he would be ready to sign off on this project but he still needs to
look at a revised screening plan for the loading area along I't Avenue East, the property lines need
to amended, and a follow-up for Architectural Review. As of last week Parks still hadn't seen the
revised landscaping plan either. The committee approved the project pending Parks
approval. Diehl said he was told they planned demolition in 2 weeks. They still have not been
issued a Demolition Permit from Public Works and the utilities have not yet been shut off.
NEW BUSINESS: None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: None.
OTHER REPORTS: 245 Windward Way — Sorensen said J & F Construction is finishing off the
rest of the building at 245 Windward Way. Elkins noted they will ask for a set of fire drawings on that
building. Fire agreed the sprinklers are the major issue. Sorensen noted this would be an opportune
time to get the deficiencies completed on the entire building.
Fed EX — The plans for the new Federal Express building in Old School Station should arrive in a
couple of weeks.
Cenex Harvest States — Montana Street — Diehl said CHS is proposing an addition to their
property on Montana Street to include a chemical storage facility. Diehl mentioned to them they will
need to hire a code consultant because of the chemicals and containers they plan to store on the
property.
Conrad reviewed the Turner proposal on Highway 2 West for James Freyholtz of MDT.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:18 a.m.
