Bear stated that staff is comfortable with talking to the contractors about construction timing, phasing, <br />and access to the site during the pre -constructions meeting before any activity starts. He described that <br />in any project, the City generally discourages construction traffic driving on residential streets, but the <br />streets are public and sometimes traffic is out of the City's control. <br />Mr. Canniff, owner of Inter -Plant Sales located at 5212 130th St., approached the podium. He asked <br />about the regularity of ambulances coming to the facility. <br />Audrey McElwain, DigniCare representative, came to the podium. She stated that there will be <br />emergencies on site, so she expects that there will be some ambulances, but at other facilities there is <br />usually an ambulance every 6 months. She also stated that in some situations, they will call an <br />ambulance in a non -emergency situation and they will come without their lights and alarm on. She <br />added on that the majority of the residents in the facility will be on hospice, which means they don't call <br />the ambulance for them any longer. <br />Maurice Johnson, 12655 Fenway Ave., approached the podium. He stated that when Northern Pines <br />was being built, they had temporary construction access off of TH 61 until they built the last two homes. <br />He believes that it would be possible to put a temporary construction access on the property for this site <br />and requests that staff looks into that. <br />An audience member asked what the timing is on construction. <br />Bear stated that if the plan is approved, it would go to the City Council in a couple of weeks. After that, <br />there is still more work to be done in regards to getting approved construction plans. He stated that the <br />applicant has indicated that they would like to start working on the site still this fall. <br />Commissioner Rosenquist commented on Mr. Winges' previous development, Comforts of Home. He <br />stated that he has never heard any issues about traffic to the site and believes City staff has a good <br />handle on access roads for construction traffic. <br />Commissioner McRoberts stated that he believes this is a difficult site. He commented that the facility <br />doesn't seem like it will generate a lot of traffic and will be a relatively quiet place. His concerns were <br />to provide an adequate buffer from the facility and the properties to the east and to avoid using Fenway <br />Ave. as much as possible. <br />Commissioner Knauss stated that she can understand people's concern for the 22 ft. rear yard setback, <br />but that it seems like the 39 feet of dedicated right-of-way is a hardship imposed by public entities. She <br />described that it wouldn't seem like there would be any flexibility asked for if that right-of-way wasn't <br />required to be dedicated. She stated that because of this hardship imposed by another entity, flexibility <br />on this ordinance would seem fair to make this site viable for a project like this. She also stated that she <br />believed this project seemed good for this property and would provide a transition between TH 61 and <br />the single family homes. Lastly, she stated that the applicant's previous project doesn't seem to have <br />had any issues and has been well received by the community. <br />Commissioner Knauss made a motion, Commissioner McRoberts seconded, to recommend approval for <br />the rezoning of the site from R-3 to PUD. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Abstained by Commissioner Lessard. <br />
