HEAR THE PUBLIC: None. PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS: None. OLD BUSINESS: Calaway Apartments —1079 N Meridian; new apartment complex. Nothing new on this project for this week. There will be a meeting with Rob Smith today and we will clarify if they are intending to move forward and what dates may need to be put on this project. This will be on the agenda for next week. Treeline Village (f/k/a Weber Apartments, f/k/a Bloomstone) — Treeline Road; eight 12-plex apartments. This was passed through ARC this week. They should have their fire hydrant in within a week. The roadway should be to fire specifications by next week. Public Works has signed off on this. They have tied the Amended Plat to the C of O. The Developer's Agreement goes to Council on Tuesday, September 8th. Regarding the tot lot, they have sent cut sheets to Parks. Fincher had one comment regarding the surfacing. Quiram stated that it will be engineered wood fiber and will be built to ADA standards. This park will be for 2- to 5-year-olds. Fincher will need a cut sheet on the Ramada. The proposed Ramada will be a 10' x21' pre-fab unit. He will send the cut sheet on this to Clawson once he receives it. Fincher is also concerned about how their irrigation will be handled on Treeline Road. He is waiting for an e-mail to come back on this. This is a homeowners' park managed by the HOA, including insurance and maintenance. Regarding the sound wall, as long as it's a 6' wall with a 2' berm, it won't need a building permit. If it's an 8' wall, it will need a building permit. We need the specifics on what is going in there along with the sound knocked down to 60 dBA or less on the apartment side of the wall. The City will need something that verifies or certifies that the wall is soundproof. Parker is working on their comments now. This project is passed 1 through Site Review. Kalispell Regional Medical Center — 310 Sunnyview; ER Addition/Renovation. We are still waiting on some requests for encroachments going into the ROW and for the PUD Amendment to encroach into the setbacks. Public Works met with McIntosh this week and went through their comments with him. They looked at the intersection with the handicapped ramps and crosswalks. We are waiting for some information to come back from him. They are moving forward with the section of the pedestrian path along the east side of Brendan House. This will be on the agenda for next week. Spring Prairie Phase IV — overall site development plan. We met with Blumenstein yesterday. She was agreeable to all of the conditions and comments given to her. She wants a loading dock area at the SE corner of Lot J. She has seven tenants that will need loading docks. Coming in off Highway 93 with the approaches, they do not show a boulevard or the sidewalk adjacent to the curb. Sorensen discussed an option for them. The proposal for issuing the hotel building permit before final plat will go in front of the Council as a major PUD Amendment. Blumenstein met with Dan Johns yesterday and they are still working on the Kidsports access. Nygren noted that Blumenstein needs to do the 10' path to the south and the picnic area. Fincher noted that Condition 95 addresses this. He also stated that Johns told him that Blumenstein does not plan to do the picnic area, as she had thought it was optional. Irrigation options were discussed. Fincher needs the landscape plan for Reserve Loop, Highway 93, or around Lots A through I. Sorensen mentioned that if they are installing sidewalks, they will need to show the 6' boulevards. However, the 20' landscape buffer along the highway will be put in with each pad. Haskins stated that the only thing Blumenstein is not sure about is on -site improvements and where the driveways will go. He asked for the sidewalks and boulevards to be shown where they will be and just labeled as being done by others. Jentz stated that Haskins can ask Blumenstein to do that. Sorensen noted that it is clearly stated in the PUD. This will be on the agenda for next week. Marriot — Spring Prairie 4 (Old Reserve Dr); new hotel. Public Works will be reviewing this soon. Jentz stated that for every road out there, there should be a sidewalk and a boulevard coming off the highway. Haskins stated Public Works has had some internal discussion on where their water service should come off of We will probably address the hotel off of Old Reserve Drive. We typically require, for operation and maintenance, the water service to be off whatever line it is addressed by. Regarding fire suppression during construction, the present hydrants are acceptable to Dedman. They will need to develop the access road all around the building before they can begin construction. This will be on the agenda for next week. NEW BUSINESS: None. PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Marriot — The amendment for the Marriot will be going to the City Council on Tuesday, September 8th They may go with the Final Plat or the PUD Amendment or both. 2 Kirk Property — off of Meridian Court.
