Planning Commission Meeting Minutes 59 April 18, 2000 Page 4 • Lake and Mr. Jones felt that the redevelopment efforts of Apache Plaza were an excellent oppor- tunity to correct and alleviate the existing drainage problems that the residents of Silver Lake have experienced in the past. Mr. Jones stated that he would like to have feedback from the Planning Commission about a time during the redevelopment phase when this issue could be addressed. Bergstrom responded that the Planning Commission has not been presented with specific, . detailed plans for Apache Plaza,but the plans are in the process. Bergstrom added that he did not believe the City was in a position at this time to direct Hillcrest regarding stormwater drainage from Apache.

Jake, 3800 Apache Lane, stated that he is anxious for the redevelopment of Apache Plaza to occur.

In addition, he inquired about the proposed uses of the land and felt that the scope and definition of the PUD was too broad. Bergstrom responded that a PUD is a signed agreement between a property owner and the City, and the City would have a significant amount of control over the potential uses of the property. Additionally, Bergstrom stated that any redevelopment would be done within the context of the • surrounding area so that issues are not created regarding conflicting land use. The main reason,
