PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: Johnson said there are no performance bond reminders.
Johnson did report that the bank has made an agreement with Siderius to complete the improvements
for Three Mile Views. Burnham reminded the committee that either the bike path or the curb stops
need to be moved.
OLD BUSINESS: Heil — 749 West Center — Burnham said Public Works was hoping to see plans
that show the curb, gutter, and sidewalk which he believes have not been submitted.
ASI (Van Ee Apartments) — 420 Grandview — Burnham said they spoke with Morrison-Maierle
over a week ago and told them Public Works need downstream stormwater information. Fincher
asked if the comment was passed along to them that the sidewalks didn't extend to the property lines
on the last set of plans and Burnham said he didn't know but they could look at the plans.
NEW BUSINESS:
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Jentz noted Hubert Turner will be attending next week's site
review meeting to discuss the amendments proposed for the Willow Creek project. General
discussion was held.
OTHER REPORTS: Landscape Ordinance — Jentz asked the status of the Landscape Ordinance
and Fincher referred him to Mike Baker, Director of the Parks & Recreation Department. Jentz said
under Site Review in the Zoning Ordinance update it refers to landscape designs and specifically calls
out what landscaping would and would not be allowed in the R/W.
Immanuel Lutheran Expansion — Jentz reported staff met with representatives of Immanuel
Lutheran regarding an expansion of the nursing home and five minor additions to the Buffalo Hill
assisted living facility. A conditional use permit will need to be submitted probably in the spring.
Assisted Living Facility — Bloomstone on Four Mile Drive — Jentz reported negotiations continue
for the assisted living facility on Four Mile Drive.
Bike Path/Sidewalk System from Downtown to the Hospital - Burnham asked if a master plan
exists that shows proposed bike path/sidewalk connections throughout the city, especially from
downtown to the hospital campus up to Meridian. Fincher said he thinks there is a master plan that
addresses the connections and he will provide a copy of the map to Public Works. Jentz noted
sidewalk is currently in place from downtown to the northern property line of the J2 Office Products
building but from there people are walking in the mud along high speed Highway 93 to Charlotte
Avenue at the northern end of the golf course. Consideration should be given to completing portions
of that connection as property develops along that corridor especially along the golf course and the
Buffalo Hill assisted living facility. Jentz suggested the fix would be when Highway 93 is designated
an urban highway and then curb and sidewalk would be required.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 a.m.
