August 8, 2024 PC Minutes <br /> Page 3 <br /> Commissioner Andress asked about if there was a path from the apartment's outdoor amenity area to <br /> the park, Juba said that there is a sidewalk already there and that the apartment will connect to it. <br /> Andress asked if there are any concerns about the proximity of the sidewalk to the Dunn Brothers drive <br /> thru lane, Juba said that there is limited traffic now and that the city does not foresee any issues. <br /> The applicant, Mark Lambert of Summit Management, introduced himself to the Planning Commission. <br /> Lambert stated that the site was particularly challenging to design, and that they've received letters of <br /> support from surrounding businesses. Lambert mentioned some of the proposed building amenities <br /> including a car wash station in the garage. <br /> Commissioner Arcand asked if the windows shown on the attached garage building are transparent. <br /> Lambert stated that they are, and that he prefers natural light being able to get into a garage. Arcand <br /> asked if they've had any crime issues with windows looking into a garage, Lambert says that he hasn't <br /> decided whether to use the windows in the garage. <br /> Commissioner Andress said that he's seen a few different numbers for parking stall counts across <br /> various pieces of information, and asked which number was accurate. Lambert said that some numbers <br /> may have come from letters of support, and that the numbers on the submitted plans should be <br /> accurate. Andress asked about the tuck-under garage stalls. Lambert pointed to the garage stalls on <br /> the outside of the garage building with access from the parking lot, and stated that the water table and <br /> soils at the site make it difficult to construct underground parking. Juba stated that the current parking <br /> count exceeds the required minimum. <br /> Commissioner Granger asked about park maintenance and trail surfacing. Juba stated that the <br /> developer will pave the 8-foot-wide asphalt trails and that the city will maintain the park and trails <br /> after construction. <br /> Chair Kleissler asked if the Public Hearing was properly noticed to the public, Juba said yes. <br /> Chair Kleissler opened the Public Hearing at 7:36 PM <br /> Ann Brasse, 5965 138t" St N, said she was concerned with the building's proximity to the shopping <br /> center and traffic that would be generated, describing the parking lot at Festival Foods as being a <br /> bottleneck. Brasse stated that with the increased traffic volumes, that a traffic signal at the intersection <br /> with Everton Avenue and Frenchman Road should be considered. Brasse asked if the wetlands on the <br /> eastern portion of the property would be impacted, and was concerned about the water usage of a car <br /> wash inside the garage. <br /> Juba responded, stating that the access points for the apartment are only onto Rosemary Way, which <br /> is a major collector street and is designed to accommodate higher traffic volumes. Juba stated that the <br /> intersection with Everton Avenue and Frenchman Road is evaluated by Washington County every year, <br /> and currently does not need a signal. Juba stated that there are no wetland impacts proposed on the <br /> eastern portion of the property, and that the wetland impacts that are proposed have been approved <br />
