Member Meyer seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-1, with Member Torgerson voting in the negative. Other Business: None The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. Planning and Zoning Board Minutes June 1, 2000 Page 2 of 3 Hearing Testimony Written Comments and Other Evidence: Troy Jones of the Current Planning Department gave a presentation describing the site shots and explaining the modification requests. He stated that staff would be supporting the modification request #1. Prior to the hearing, Troy Jones, Paul Eckman (Assistant City Attorney), and the applicant examined some of the issues surrounding the modification requests #2 and #3. They discovered that modification request #3 could be avoided by adjusting the site area of the PDP, so the #3 request was withdrawn by the applicant. The modification request #2 was found to be arguable within the code language and Mr. Eckman did not feel the modification was necessary due to the multiple interpretations of the code, so the applicant withdrew modification request #2. Public Comment: None Discussion: Member Craig asked if there would be an east/west sidewalk in front of the new building and if the sidewalk connection would be made directly to the new building. Troy Jones responded that there would be an east/west sidewalk in front of the building and the connection of sidewalks between the two buildings would be made at a 90 degree angle. Member Craig asked for clarification of the location of Hemlock Street. Troy Jones pointed out the location of Hemlock Street on the vicinity map. He also described the road material at each section (i.e. paved, gravel, or dirt). Member Craig asked if the applicant would be responsible for the road improvements if necessary in the future. Tim Blandford responded that within the Development Agreement, the applicant would be responsible to escrow funds for 10 years for road improvements on the property frontage that may become necessary in the future. Paul Eckman asked if the applicant was in agreement to the escrow of funds. Mr. Eckman restated that the applicant was sitting in the audience and he was in agreement with the escrow. Member Carpenter asked if it was a normal occurrence for the applicant to change the site boundaries to avoid the Land Use Code requirements. ncil Liaison: Scott Mason Chairperson: Glen Colton Vice Chair: Jerry Gavaldon Staff Liaison: Dave Stri Chairperson Colton called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Phone: (H) 225-2760 Phone: (H) 484-2034 Roll Call: Torgerson, Carpenter, Craig, Bernth, Meyer, and Colton.
