PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS:
Captain's Marine — MDT has some issues with how the path drops off, so they are not comfortable
signing off on the design. Freyholtz noted that they will be putting in a culvert through the ditch so
they can get the slopes to fill in over the culvert on the ditch. MDT would approve this. Porch wants
to get their bond released. Fincher stated that Randall is requesting to have years to finish all of the
improvements. He stated that the improvements will probably cost him $30,000. This would include
irrigation, the ROW ditch, and the landscaping next to it. The City would allow up to two years to
finish, as long as it is secured with a new bond. If Randall is willing to post the bond, we will release
Porch's bond. Jentz does not like the trail, and suggested they move the green boxes, get the trail
closer to the property and get out of the ditch. Fincher stated they should have an engineer design it
and present it. He will continue to work with them for a solution. Sorensen stated they will need to
have everything installed or a replacement bond in place by mid -July.
OLD BUSINESS:
Buffalo Hill Terrace (Immanuel Lutheran West Campus) — 40 Claremont, Phase IA & 2;
expansion of existing retirement facility. We are still waiting for information on the bike path.
Building still needs to review this and it is 2-3 weeks out. Fincher still needs to review their
landscaping plan. Nygren noted that they had some stakes put in the ground going up the side of the
slope. This will be on the agenda for next week.

new has been received yet. This will be on the agenda for next week.

Public Works. Building has not received any drawings on this project yet. This will be on the agenda
for next week.
Clear Choice Clinic — 1281 Burns Way; addition to existing office building. This went through
ARC this week. They will be taking out one tree to make room for the addition, and adding two
parking spaces. This will be on the agenda for next week.
NEW BUSINESS:
Scotty's — 2205 Hwy 93 S; new storage building. They are interested in doing anew storage building
in the back at the NE corner of the property. This would be a 1,200 sq. ft. shop/storage building.
This will be on the agenda for next week.
KRMC — 310 Sunnyview Lane; new women's/children's clinic. The plans just came in this week.
This will be on the agenda for next week.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
1221 - 61h Street West — There is an old house to be demolished, and they will be putting four
townhomes there. This went through the Planning Board Meeting. Their ROW is only 40 feet and
one of the conditional requirements is to put in sidewalk. So their sidewalk will be right along the
curb with no boulevard, and trees will have to be put on their private property.
OTHER REPORTS:
Smart Insurance — Sorensen mentioned the landscaping in front. We have their request for their
Certificate of Occupancy. Fincher stated we don't need to include any landscaping. Fincher and
Sorensen will discuss this after our meeting.
2050 Airport Way — Haskins and Nygren met with Dr. Webber on some apartments. They are
waiting to move forward with a 96-unit apartment complex. There were some design issues that we
told them to look at before they go any further.
