Hear the Public: None. Performance Bond Reminders: Public Works is going to allow Tim Birk to extend his Letter of Credit to 18 months for Muskrat Slough and Three Mile. Regarding Westview Business Center, Public Works has sent them letters regarding the necessary significant repairs they will need to make before their Letter of Credit expires in July. OLD BUSINESS: Town Pump — No responses to anyone regarding letters that were sent from each department. Public Works did hear from their engineer, who was asking questions about how to do a perc test. Courthouse East — The Development Agreement has been signed. Their estimate for the bond is $45,000, but they obtained a Letter of Credit for $100,000. They made some changes in the location of some of the live/work spaces. One parking space was removed. Minor changes to the boiler house building, the bridge, and infrastructure in the public right of way. Parks and Public Works need an engineer or their contractor to sign off on the estimates. Glacier Bank — The approval from MDOT has been received with the condition that they work out their street signage with Public Works. They will be extending the Streetscape theme through the right of way. They still need to put in the parking lot next to Romano's Restaurant, but the building has not been torn down yet. They will need to coordinate the kiosk with Fred Zavodny in Public Works. They will need to put in landscaping in front of the doorways on both sides of the street to discourage crossing the street in the middle of the block. Fire has requested more information regarding the shared sprinkler system (the old bank shares with NWM1iR). This is approved through Site Review. NEW BUSINESS: VFW — They went through Architectural Review this week. They will need a Plumbing Plan, Lighting Plan, etc. The System Development charge cannot be determined until the Plumbing Plan is submitted. Parking is difficult to determine downtown. Their proposed parking was discussed. They will need to sprinkler/sprinkle the building. Parks will look at the street tree situation in that area. They will need to be notified of how to put their address on the front of the building at the front entrance. They will need to line up their handicapped ramp with the sidewalks. Kidsports — Brian Wiley is the builder — We have asked for a Site Plan. They need an 8" main. They need a two-way hydrant with a 4" barrel. We will need a Lighting Plan. This needs to go through Architectural Review. Where are they putting in the new hydrant? We will need Mike Baker or Dan Johns to attend our next meeting to discuss this project. Crevier's School of Cosmetology — Their parking issues were discussed. Drainage and landscaping is okay. Woodland Clinic — This project went through architectural review on Tuesday. They will need to formalize their existing parking. They are adding 1,065 sq. ft. They will need to apply for an Administrative CUP (expansion of a non -conforming use in an R-3 zone). The question of having them change their address to 6th Avenue East because of the front entrance being changed was discussed. Jackola Engineering is the engineer on this project. They will need to sprinkler/sprinkle the building because the fire flow isn't adequate. If they loop the system to get the fire flows up, they may not have to sprinkler. There may be storm drainage issues. Seventh Day Adventist — No Drainage Plan, no Landscaping Plan, no Lighting Plan. A 1,000+ sq. ft. addition. They have obtained their CUP. They will also need at least a 3' exit aisle in front of the door. PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS: Diamond Ridge Subdivision — Three Mile Drive next to Bowser Creek Estates — seeking a variance to the cul-de-sac to be extended south from 600' to 833'. They will seek annexation and zoning of R-2. Accesses and roads were discussed. Each lot must have frontage. The water main will need to be extended. Zoning requires the access to come off the street. This is an infill subdivision. The grade is presently 11%, but Public Works and Fire will require them to re -grade to 8%. This is presently scheduled to go to the Planning Board on the 13th. They have cash in lieu of park land. Utilities to be extended out to the far property line. Public Works and the Fire Dept. could not support the variance request and the applicants were advised to reconsider. Subdivision #272 — on Denver — Because of an existing house, they can have a remainder tract. Sean is asking for the committee's input on curb, gutter, and sidewalk for the 120' area. The committee supports the request for a sidewalk when presented to the Council. There could be a negative impact on the storm drainage. They will need to determine the level of ground water and surface drainage before doing a basement. Empire Estates Phase 5 — Will be on the agenda for next week's Planning Board meeting. OTHER REPORTS: Fire Department News - The Fire Department will begin to flow hydrants around the 22" d of May. They will also be painting and numbering the hydrants. This will be done by the firefighters. Also, the I. S.O. is coming the 13th, 14, and 15th of June. They will be looking at dispatch, water, and fire department functions.
