Performance Bond Reminders: Grainier Ridge is approaching it's completion date next week
on their Performance Bond for their subdivision and PUD. Mark will be working with the
engineer.
OLD BUSINESS:
Mountain Mudd — 2267 Hwy 93 S; new drive-thru espresso stand — They have submitted a
revised site plan and will be on the agenda for next week.
Westbrook Square — Hwy 2 W and Meridian Road; remodel tenant space to car wash— four
self-service bays, one automatic bay, and a self -serve dog wash. This is approved by all
departments present, but there was a concern regarding the zoning issues for a dog wash. PJ
will need to check on this.
NEW BUSINESS:
None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
Turner Annexation — Highway 2, northwest of Willow Creek. Asking for a B-2 zone.
There are no hydrants out there and they would have to extend services. Discussion was held
about annexing without services. We will talk with the department heads on this. We may
require the project to extend services. If they were bringing the road through Willow Creek
and then to this property, Mark said they would need to annex the whole thing. Roger asked
about the traffic counts and Sean said there would be potentially several thousand vehicle
trips up through this property if the Willow Creek subdivision is approved.
Cottage View Estates — agency referrals — for R-4 zoning, they are deviating from the City
standards, particularly with the right-of-way. They will have full curb, gutter and sidewalk on
one side with the roadway on the west side of the project site without sidewalks due to the
future bike path associated with the by-pass. The majority of the project is townhouses. This
will be on the agenda for next week.
OTHER REPORTS:
LHC on Reserve and Stillwater — Their new Safety Officer, Don Denning, will be running
some radar, watching the stop signs and monitoring their own people.
Universal Athletics — Meridian Road and Husky — the sidewalk and their northwest approach
must comply to City standards. The sidewalk must be a certain grade. Mark has spoken with
their engineers (Jackola) as to the driveway approach. They built it anyway, with domes on
one side, but not on the other. Also, the lane for the entrance is narrow. Mark has requested
that they rip it out and start over. This may be a zoning problem on this narrow road, but fire
has other accesses so this won't be a fire issue.
Econ Lodge — The have completed their addition and are looking for their Certificate of
Occupancy. They are putting in a hand rail today, and they have submitted a parking layout
plan. There are no other issues.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 a.m
