Evan Gilmartin, owner of the property to the north of Putnam School. He stated that he
has been unable to develop his property due to storm drainage and street issues. He
felt with the remodel of Putnam School the street and drainage issues should be
addressed.
Planner Shepard replied that the property to the north is vacant and was not included
with tonights item. He stated that Mr. Gilmartin has been down to the City on several
occasions and gone through Conceptual Review. Mr. Gilmartin has talked to
Stormwater and Engineering, and with a lot of properties there are constraints to
developing Mr. Gilmartin's property.
Dave Stringer, Engineering Department reviewed slides of the area in question and
explained that Engineering has requested a temporary asphalt sidewalk until some
major work can be done on Cherry Street. He stated that the south side of Cherry is
unimproved and curb, gutter and sidewalk should be installed when that property is
developed.
Glen Schlueter, Stormwater Utility explained that the street slope will not meet the
Street Departments criteria and drainage was not driving the decision about the street
construction.
Mr. Gilmartin felt that the same requirements on his property should also apply to the
School District. He felt there should be some agreement between the three parties to
get the street issue resolved.
Public Input Closed
Vice Chair Colton asked staff if these were issues that were related to this project and if
not what could be done to get closure on them.
Director Blanchard responded that this particular issue does not relate to the review the
Board is conducting tonight.
Planner Shepard added that Mr. Gilmartin has been to Conceptual Review and he has
his comment letter with the names and phone numbers of all the pertinent staff that he
needs to deal with. He suggested that Mr. Gilmartin make an appointment with the
appropriate staff members to start to work on resolving some complicated issues.
Mr. Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility Department tried to address the drainage issues.
He gave a history of the drainage in the area.
