Planning Commission Meeting Minutes + April 18, 2000 • Page 4 1 Bergstrom responded that the Planning Commission has not been presented with specific,detailed 2 plans for Apache Plaza, but the plans are in the process. 3 Bergstrom'added that he did not believe the City was in a position.at this time to direct Hillcrest 4 regarding stormwater drainage from Apache. It has been the City's experience in the past with 5 respect to developments that the City does not retain a stormwater ordinance,and those issues have 6 been referred to Rice Creek. He would anticipate that would be the process with stormwater and . 7 Apache Plaza as well. Additionally, in the absence of specific design plans, the issue cannot be 8 addressed at this time. However,once the Commission arrives at a certain stage in the PUD process, 9 that would be an appropriate time to discuss stormwater. 10 Mr. Jones stated that a problem that the Silver Lake Homeowners Association has experienced of 11 which the Commission might not be aware, is that the requirements that were made of the earlier 12 development by OPUS have not been met and those issues have not been addressed. Mr. Jones 13 continued by stating that water has been bypassing the ponds that were created and, consequently, 14 frustration has been experienced and Mr.Jones urged the Commission to carefully review the issues 15 at hand. Bergstrom offered that Rice Creek has the resources to battle these problems and to effectively. alleviate these types of complaints.- 18 In this respect, Bergstrom asked that Mr. Jones coordinate with Assistant City Manager Isom to 19 provide Isom with any letters and documentation necessary in order to work effectively with Rice 20 Creek on this matter. 21 Jake, 3800 Apache Lane, stated that he is anxious for the redevelopment of Apache Plaza to occur. 22 However, he was concerned that since specific details about the redevelopment had not been 23 provided to the Commission as of this date, he felt the proposed changes in the zoning could be 24 premature. In addition,he inquired about the proposed uses of the land and felt that the scope and. 25 definition of the PUD was too broad. 26 Bergstrom responded that a PUD is a signed agreement between a property owner and the City;and 27 the City would.have a significant amount of control over the potential uses of the property. 28 Additionally, Bergstrom stated that any redevelopment would be done within the context of the 29 surrounding area so that issues are not created regarding conflicting land use. The main reason,he 30 stated,that the City is considering the revised land designation has to do with the.range of uses that 31 Hillcrest Development is contemplating for the redevelopment of Apache Plaza. 32 Mr.Carlson(DSU)wished to clarify that under the current zoning requirements,there is less control by the City over which businesses choose to utilize the zoning uses. Under a PUD, he stated, the rules change and the City would be able to utilize more control over the property. 35 Jim Waters,Quest Real Estate,wished to state that he represented the owners of the Apache Medical 36. Building, and expressed the support of the owners-of the building toward the redevelopment of
