Captain's Marine — Hwy 93 S; new retail building. Comments have been sent out from Building

PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
KRMC Parking Lot Expansion and Zone Change — This was approved at the Planning Board
Meeting regarding the growth policy and zoning map amendments. KRMC met with a lot of the
community members after the hearing to discuss some of their plans and what KRMC can do to be
better neighbors. The screened area where Swank's utility storage site is located was also discussed.
This will be going to the City Council on July 6th with a Resolution of Intent.
OTHER REPORTS:
Bloomstone — Dedman mentioned that the roads are not in there and it is just a plowed field right
now. They will have to have all-weather access prior to combustibles. They will need to have a
hydrant within 300'. Sorensen stated that have said there is a hydrant out there and charged.
Crowley stated that the only hydrants that are charged are on Treeline Road. Anything internal is not.
They still have some repairs to do with the sewer that was put in seven years ago. Jentz mentioned
that they still plan to do 25 houses this summer.
Pentelute Property — Freyholtz stated that he had been contacted by the owners of the property in
between the Cowboy Church and the Armory regarding access. He told them they would probably
not get full access; 3/4 might be possible. Nygren noted that they will be putting a plan together to
submit. It will include 17 housing units and 5 commercial businesses. He believes it has been
annexed. Jentz stated that we would be looking for berming with setbacks, landscaping, and internal
businesses/offices, not retail. He has told them that they would maybe be allowed right in, right out
access. An internal system would be better for the whole neighborhood. Entering and exiting is the
main issue with this project. Mark Leichti from APEC called Freyholtz about this project, too, so
they may be the engineering firm for this.
Ashley Heights Sound Wall — Jentz and Nygren will be meeting with Gary Engman, MDT staff,
regarding Wayne Turner's wall. The latest proposal is to see how much dirt could be put up against
the wall. This would provide lateral support at the base of the wall, frost protection, and keep away
graffiti. All the berming would be in the MDT ROW.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:18 a.m.
