Ms. 58 <br />Larsen explained that the road will be constructed through the development but will then 59 <br />become public property and City maintenance will be required. Councilmember Stoesz 60 <br />asked if there is Phase 11 parking planned. Ms. Larsen explained that parking elements 61 <br />are tied to the different buildings/facilities; all elements were analyzed independently. 62 <br /> 63 <br />Councilmember Lyden said he thinks this will be a great project for the City. He asked 64 <br />about the nearby highway interchange and if that will be an improved situation with these 65 <br />plans and other plans to improve that intersection. Community Development Director 66 <br />Grochala noted that area road improvements are probably pushed into 2022 with this 67 <br />development schedule; the County is trying to put together the most complete package 68 <br />and there could be a little offset. 69 <br /> 70 <br />Councilmember Cavegn asked about the south end buffer; will that be maintained by the 71 <br />City. Ms. Larsen noted that all landscaping, retaining walls, etc will be maintained by 72 <br />Lyngblomsten. 73 <br /> 74 <br />Councilmember Ruhland asked about the size of the commercial element; Ms. Larsen 75 <br />couldn’t answer specifically but suggested 12,000 sf. It was noted that there is privacy 76 <br />fence included to deal with a possible future of headlights entering the commercial 77 <br />property. Councilmember Lyden asked about the construction of the privacy fence; Ms. 78 <br />Larsen said that is yet to be determined but staff will attempt to steer the developer in the 79 <br />direction of high quality. 80 <br /> 81 <br />Staff will be bringing a final and somewhat more refined action request to the Council in 82 <br />the coming weeks. 83 <br /> 84 <br />Mayor Rafferty remarked that the site has been something of an eyesore for the City and a 85 <br />quality development is a welcome addition; thanks to staff for their work. 86
