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.
