Planning & Zoning Board August 13, 2003 Page 14 Mr. Lyden asked how old was the dome and how long would it last. Mr. Bourassa replied it was approximately ten years old and should generally last 20 to 25 years. Mr. Tralle asked if figure skating would be allowed on the hockey rink. Mr. Robbie replied it would. Chair Schaps invited anyone for or against the proposal to make comment. Mark Fourre, West Cedar St, expressed concern regarding making West Cedar a four lane road. He stated he would like to see them come off of 21St and build another driveway. Chair Schaps replied applicants were agreeable to having a driveway off of 21st. Mr. Fourre replied they wanted most of the traffic to come off of 14. He stated he would like the sidewalk to be on the other side of West Cedar Street, so the sidewalk was not crossing driveways. He expressed concern regarding the drainage. He expressed concern about increased traffic along West Cedar Street, especially late at night. Maureen Fourre, West Cedar, expressed concern about the traffic increase. Connie Duellman, 2162 Cedar Street West, expressed concern about the lack of information being provided and the lack of representation by the developer at the Environmental Board. She expressed concern about the size of the dome. She stated this was a cheap way to put up a structure to make money. She expressed concern about the buffer and screening. She expressed concern about the entrance off Cedar Street. She asked if both entrances could come off of 21st Street and not attach Cedar Street to 21st Street. She expressed concern about possibly being assessed for sewer and water. She requested the Board deny this request. Ken Duellman, 2162 Cedar Street West, stated he was opposed to this because he believed it would be of benefit to maybe five percent of the population and it would have a negative effect on the adjacent property owners. Mr. Tralle made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 12:40 a.m., and was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 6 -0. Mr. Bourassa stated he had met with the residents in an attempt to explain to them what this development would entail. He stated they had no problem with the sidewalk on the other side of Cedar Street. He stated they were proposing a 38 -foot wide street on both Cedar Street and 21st Street. This would not allow for four lanes to be constructed, but it would allow for center turn lanes and an on street trail system. He noted the bulk of the drainage off Cedar Street would be pushed to the north, and once it got past 21st Avenue it would be drained toward 20th Avenue. He stated they would be watching the drainage issue. He stated that Cedar Avenue would be moved and the residents would be gaining front yard area. He indicated they had always had the banquet hall as a part of this proposal and he apologized for being unable to attend the Environmental Board meeting. He stated they would work with staff to get the 40 -foot buffer. He noted they would like DRAFT MINUTES
