PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: The Abbey House Subdivision — Conrad will call Lapp
regarding the Subdivision Improvement Agreement on Denver, specifically in regard to the mailbox
and the ADA ramp repairs. This will hopefully be ready to go to Council at the March 19th meeting.
OLD BUSINESS: Spring Prairie Phase 3/Kohl's — Hwy 93 N — Regarding the landscaping
comments, Fincher stated they will be submitting a new landscape plan. They are in agreement with
our comments except for the power lines. Parks received a letter from them today regarding what
BPA would allow them to plant there. Parks would like a bit of height there, but they think that
height will bring parking issues with turning, etc. Fincher told them that once he receives their new
landscape plan, he will bring it to Zoning for their approval. TD&H submitted a proposal to do the
final plat. They would only do the surveying and plat preparation. They would not take care of the
conditions.
NEW BUSINESS: None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Conrad is working on the reports for two projects: 1. The old
Montana Home Outfitters building on Hwy. 93 N on the east side is looking to annex into the City
and get a Conditional Use Permit for an eating disorder clinic called the "North Star Institute." He
sent the conditions to Wargo for approval. He also put a condition on there for them to submit a
landscape plan to Fincher. 2. The Farnham Annexation on Three Mile Drive past Mountain Vista
Subdivision at the curve on Farm to Market where they have built an espresso shop, they know they
need to get a landscape plan and parking lot paving plan. Conrad will send the condition regarding
any future development (requiring a water line, a fire hydrant, and street improvements be brought to
the site) to the Fire Department for their approval.
OTHER REPORTS: Three Rivers Bank on Meridian — They would like to put up a flagpole and
also relocate the existing ATM north. Dedman will take a look at this to make sure the ATM move
does not interfere with any fire lanes.
There will be a meeting after this meeting to discuss with Freyholtz the 28 acres at the SW corner of
Reserve Loop and Highway 93. This would include '/z mile of frontage on the west regarding
accesses and approaches.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:10 a.m.
