I I I Council Meeting Minutes December 22, 1987 Benke indicated staff1s condition speaks to bituminous surface and asked if staff is referring to a fresh bituminous mix; Mattila re- sponded affirmatively, versus the chunks of bituminous and con- crete in a clay-fine base, which poses a potential for the genera- tion of dust. Instead of requiring a bituminous surface which would cost the ap- plicant an additional $100,000, Brandt asked if it would be pos- sible to require a dust-free surface with some conditions for on- going maintenance (for example, requiring the applicant to seal coat at intervals when the city determines it is necessary). If this particular applicant were to move off the site, Mattila is concerned it would be an enforcement problem for the city. LeFevere agrees there could be enforcement problems with site plan approval conditions, and does not believe a court could order a remedy to a dust problem by another tenant. Williams stated he is not very enthusiastic about the proposal; the city has invested in the Old Highway 8 Corridor Plan and we have said on a number of occasions that Highway 8 is one of the entrances to the city and we are going to try to do all that is possible to make that entrance attractive; and is concerned there will be more trucks on the road in an area we are trying to devel- op into high-quality office space and have been successful in ac- complishing some of that over the last several years. Blomquist recalled there have been problems in almost every situa- tion where we have not interpolated as being bituminous. Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to REFER MATTER TO STAFF FOR THE PREPARATION OF FINDINGS OF FACT JUSTIFYING A DENIAL. 3 Ayes - 2 Nayes (Brandt, Blomquist), Motion Carried Locke reviewed staff report concerning a 91 unit, elderly orien- ted, apartment building to be located in the southwest corner of Tenth Street and Third Avenue N.W. Gene Rezac, Graystar Enterprises, Inc., the developer, reviewed plans for the contractor, architect, and financing; and indicated the development will be presented to the Planning Commission in January. In response to Benke's question, Rezac indicated he had spoken with three of the four homeowners that will be involved in t,e ac- quisition process; and will be setting up a meeting with the home- owners and a relocation expert within the next two weeks. Benke asked if a two-year old market study had been updated; Rezac responded that an updated study will be completed by the end of January and it will then be made available to councilmembers. Locke reported that, following a recommendation from the Planning Commission1s January 19, 1988, meeting, this item would be on the January 26, 1988, council agenda with plans.
