Members present were David Kurtz, Al Gregg, John Gustafson, Larry Fjeldos, Stacey Howlett, Al Heuton, and Fargen. Mike Cameron and Curt Ness were absent. Also present were Scott Hodges, Jay Bender, Keith Rounds, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Airport Manager Mike Wilson, City Planner.Dan Hanson, and others. Item #3 - Hanson summarized the various design elements of the preliminary plat. The block was surrounded by platted streets and contained 16 lots in a two tiered design. Lanning added that the storm drainage design involved swales and outlet pipes along the rear lot lines. A drainage easement would be required during the final platting stage. Item #4a _ Kurtz noted that no drainage easements were shown on the plat. is Item #4b - Scott Hodges, representing H & M Land Company, stated the lot splits were for twinhome construction. Item #4c - Hanson stated that Windermere Way was a loop type street that may cause problems with emergency services depending upon how the addressing is determined. Changing the name of the west portion of the loop may be necessary. Item #4d - Lanning stated that a portion of the plat was not part of an approved final drainage plan. Item #4e - Hanson noted that the plat was simply for transfer of ownership purposes, Item #4f - Hanson stated that this plat involved the remaining lots from the preliminary plat in Item # 3. Storm drainage easements were also recommended for this plat. Item #5 - Keith Rounds, representing BlairHill Properties Inc., stated that stormwater • drainage from the lots would all go to the west. Scott Hodges, also representing S: \ City Engrs\ dms \ pc \ minutes\ PC-2008-05.doc 4 • BlairHill Properties Inc., presented a rough sketch of a future plan to the south of the proposed preliminary plan. Heuton asked about on -street parking along 15th Street South. Lanning responded that the Traffic. Safety Committee would discuss the issue. She remarked that the Safe. Routes to School Program recommended safe travel routes between schools. Fifteenth Street South could be chosen for the route which could result in no on -street parking and a bike lane added. Gustafson asked how Christine Avenue and Camelot Drive would be regulated. Hanson replied that access restrictions would be considered whenever possible during the final plat stage. Fargen inquired about internal traffic circulation for the school. Lanning noted that a parking lot was designed northeast of the school. A parking lot was=also planned in the southeast corner of the school property. Kurtz asked about the drainage plan. Lanning remarked that the drainage plan would be part of the street assessment project. Fjeldos asked for a reason for a 50 foot radius on the Pactola Cove eyebrow. Brad Wermers, Banner Associates, replied that the shallow depth on the lots made a standard 60 foot radius difficult. Lanning noted that boulevard widths and utility • locations change when a standard radius is not used. Item #6 - Keith Rounds, developer of the Valley View Addition, stated that BlairHill Properties, Inc. would pass any development cost savings into more affordable housing. He explained that a 12 inch water line would need to be extended from Western Avenue. A six inch water line nearby would not be sufficient for fire protection. The method of financing would be a pay-as-you-go by the developer. There would be no bonding, and the risk would be BlairHill Properties Inc. Hodges showed a cost comparison between the benefits of a Tax Increment District vs. no Tax Increment District. Heuton asked what the next step was. Rounds replied an affordable housing plan would be developed as part of the project plan. Gustafson asked how many units would be part of the plan. Rounds responded 65 single-family lots and some multi -family units would be built. Kurtz asked how the utility installation costs would be shared. Lanning replied that Brookings Municipal Utilities would pay oversize costs • Item #7 - Hanson presented a conceptual plan for redevelopment of the existing airport land in the event the airport was relocated. The plan involved a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial zoning. A future park and undevelopable S:\Clty Engrs \ dms \ pc \ minutes\ PC-2008-05.doc 5 open space was also shown. The estimated acreages on this plan included 285 • acres for residential, 110 acres for commercial, and 165 acres for industrial. A decision on whether the airport should be relocated or remain in the current location will be decided by the City Council later this year. Mike Wilson, Airport Manager, explained that if a decision was made to move the airport, the actual relocation period would take many years. He added that on-site options also exist depending upon FAA compliance regulations. The meeting was adjourned.
