Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes February 26, 2018 Page 5 Trails/Sidewalks: The preliminary plat shows 5-foot sidewalks integrated into the site design 1 along all internal roads, as well as an 8-foot sidewalk trail running along the northern site 2 perimeter. While there is an existing sidewalk along both Stinson Blvd and Kenzie Terrace 3 integrated into the project design, there are no proposed enhancements to existing sidewalks. 4 Staff recommends a 6-foot sidewalk instead of a 5-foot sitewide. Coordination with the Park 5 Board to improve tripping hazards and ADA issues along Stinson Parkway will be required, 6 especially at the intersection of the proposed private street. 7 8 Public Spaces/Parks: The preliminary site plan includes several private recreational amenities, 9 including an outdoor pool, patio, two plazas, and a small dog run. The proposal also includes 10 several indoor private spaces. While all trails are proposed to be privately maintained, they will 11 be open to the public to use. 12 13 Environmental Assessment Worksheet: A full report was completed for the analysis of the 14 environmental impacts, including infrastructure impacts, contamination, traffic and permitting 15 required. The traffic report has been updated per the revised site plan. Detailed information was 16 analyzed and the report is available on the city’s website or at city hall. 17 18 Environmental (Contamination): There is contamination on the site from the apparent spreading 19 of oil on dirt roads for dust control (historically), the location of a dry cleaner on the Bremer site, 20 and the siting of underground petroleum tanks (historical). The appropriate Response Action 21 Plan has been submitted and approved by the appropriate agencies. The developer intends to 22 remediate all environmental contamination on the site as a part of redevelopment. The EAW 23 completed for the site has listed the detailed permits and information related to this cleanup 24 effort. 25 26 Grading: Significant grading is required on the property for the accommodation of the 27 development proposal. The City Engineer has reviewed the grading plan and has submitted 28 detailed comments. 29 30 Storm water Management: A storm water management collection and treatment system is 31 proposed through a system of curbing, catch basins, underground conveyance, ponding and bio-32 retention. This includes traditional at grade ponds and below grade bio-filtration systems. 33 Comments are included in the City Engineer’s memo. 34 35 Utilities: Public sanitary sewer and water main extensions and hydrants are proposed as part of 36 this development. The infrastructure is proposed under private streets, with public easements 37 over them. Detailed comments on the utilities are included in the City Engineer’s memo. 38 39 Phasing: After the final PUD approval, work will commence on the assisted senior living 40 building as soon as weather conditions will allow. Construction is expected to take 41 approximately 18 months to complete per building. As crews finish their particular subset of 42 work, they will move to the independent senior living building and then to the market rate 43 building. The Village is hopeful to commence work at the end of 2018 with an aggressive 44 construction schedule to complete all three buildings by late 2020 or 2021. 45 46
