CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> APPROVED <br /> 79 a garbage can. Mayor Rafferty asked if a full size pick-up will fit in the garage, Mr. Blattman <br /> 80 replied it will fit in the garage. Mayor Rafferty asked about the 6.5 feet on the side and asked <br /> 81 what would happen if he made it 7.5 feet. Mr. Blattman noted he would have to lose another lot <br /> 82 and he does not know if that would work financially. Almost one acre of the 4.5 acres has gone <br /> 83 to the alignment of Vicky Lane. <br /> 84 Councilmember Lyden shared his disappointment in losing the open space in the project. Mr. <br /> 85 Blattman agrees and noted a loop will not work here. Councilmember Lyden asked about <br /> 86 fencing. Mr. Blattman replied the fence is for privacy and to keep streetlights from shining into <br /> 87 the backyards of the properties. Councilmember Lyden asked about grading and the trail. Ms. <br /> 88 Larsen noted they are at concept level and if the project goes forward Mr. Blattman's team will <br /> 89 put full plans together that will address grading and the trail. <br /> 90 Councilmember Cavegn asked if there will be street parking on the private road. Mr. Blattman <br /> 91 replied parking would only be on one side of the road. Councilmember Cavegn asked who is <br /> 92 responsible for repair of the road if utilities need to be replaced. Staff replied the City will <br /> 93 typically retain a public utility easement and the City would be responsible for patching the road <br /> 94 after utility work. The Association would be responsible for reconstruction of the road. <br /> 95 Councilmember Stoesz cannot get over the garage size requirement, noting there is a way to have <br /> 96 a 28 foot garage. Mr. Blattman noted it is a different lifestyle for these units. Councilmember <br /> 97 Stoesz stated future owners will never be upset that their garage is too big. Mr. Blattman said it <br /> 98 comes down to cost for the people purchasing the house and going to 28 feet changes the interior <br /> 99 design of the house. Mayor Rafferty agrees with Councilmember Stoesz and asked Mr. Blattman <br /> 100 what he can do to make the 520 square feet garage work and meet City guidelines. <br /> 101 Planning and Zoning Board Member Michael Root spoke about garage sizes and the discussion <br /> 102 by the Board, noting he is still skeptical about the proposed garage size. <br /> 103 Mayor Rafferty thinks the 520 square feet makes sense for garage size as people use garages for <br /> 104 storage. He would like to see a plan with 520 square feet. <br /> 105 Councilmember Cavegn's biggest hang up is the 6.5 feet side setbacks. <br /> 106 Mayor Rafferty thinks the applicant has enough feedback and to work with the guidelines to <br /> 107 finish the plans. <br /> 108 Item 3—Playground Equipment Design in Neighborhood Parks—Public Services Director <br /> 109 DeGardner introduced Bill Johnson, owner and president of Northland Recreation who gave a <br /> 110 presentation on playground designs and accessibility. <br /> 111 Mr. Johnson spoke about what meets Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) requirements for a <br /> 112 park while showing examples. He shared ways to make a playground accessible through a <br /> 113 transfer deck or transfer structure, and ground-level events and access. He explained the <br /> 114 difference between these types of playsets and inclusive playsets with ramps which are a <br /> 115 different design and are more expensive due to the ramp design and rubber surfacing. He noted <br /> 116 one will spend about as much on the rubber surfacing as they would on the equipment. <br /> 3 <br />
