City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • August 23, 1994 Page 8 1 of Section 1. Section 1635.03, Permitted Conditional Uses,to add the following: 2 "Hardware and building material supply store with outdoor lumber yard where (i)the 3 lumber yard is screened in a manner approved by the City Council, and(ii) the hardware 4 and building material supply store building contains at least 30,000 square feet of space." 5 Mary Finn, 2709 Silver Lane, requested that the Council address drainage and ponding 6 issues as part of this project. She asserted that adding Knox and CUB will increase hard 7 surfaces and thus the amount of runoff. Finn expressed concern regarding increased 8 runoff toxicity due to the building and lumber material. She also expressed concern 9 regarding truck traffic on Silver Lane and asked Council to address traffic patterns to 10 protect the residential area. 11 Hehr stated he appreciates these concerns. He explained that with larger lumber yards 12 trucks are making deliveries all day long, but Knox receives most of their deliveries on 13 one large truck which arrives in late afternoon or early evening, when the traffic levels are 14 lighter. He pointed out they do not use loud speakers or pole lighting and are sensitive to 15 adjoining residents. aJones stated he understands these types of issues (drainage,ponding, lighting, screening) 17 will be considered with the Conditional Use Permit and asked if residents will be given 18 an opportunity to provide input at that time.

He added that the meeting will again be open for input when 21 the Conditional Use Permit is considered. 22 Charles Finn, 2709 Silver Lane, stated he wants to speak with a note of caution on the 23 serious impact these businesses will have on the residential area. He commented on the 24 Barr Engineering drainage study and asked the Council to consider the changes being 25 proposed and impact on drainage. He also asked Council to consider the impact between 26 residences and a potential business operation that is near to light industrial. Finn 27 applauded the Council for the work they have put into this proposal and requested they 28 also address issues regarding lighting, signage, traffic patterns, etc. 29 Ranallo explained that a portion of Apache Plaza will be demolished to make room for 30 Knox which will result in almost the same amount of building area as currently exists. 31 Finn asked if a portion of the green space will be used for parking lot expansion. 32 Cavanaugh clarified that this would only happen if Herberger's also expands. In that 3 case, they will also look at additional area for ponding. 0 34 Fleming commented she was surprised by the Planning Commission's vote on the 35 proposed amendment. She stated that a business such as Knox gives her the impression
