PUBLIC APPEARANCES There were no public appearances. VI. BUSINESS A. Public meeting to review a final development plan for Phase II of Daisy Creek Village, a Planned Unit Development consisting of 36 units. The project is located near the intersection of Glenn Way and West Pine Street in an R-3, Multiple Family zoning district on Map 3~ 2W ioAB, Tax Lot 650o and Map 3~ 2W ioAD, Tax Lots 80o and iooo. Ken Gerschler, Community Planner presented the staff report. He stated that Phase I is already under construction. Mr. Gerschler clarified that the plans before the Plmmixg Conanissiae ~1,Lnurzrs Decemfier 7, 2004 Ynge 2 Commissioners should actually reflect a Phase II & Phase III. Mr. Gerschler stated that the final development plan is substantially compliant with the original plans. There is a change in the building footprints. The developer has decided to separate the garages and driveways for the units to make them more appealing. T`he applicant is also requesting a variance to place 6' high fencing along the boundary of the development. This project has the TOD overlay boundary running through it. The fence is to provide more privacy for existing homes adjacent to the project, as well as reducing traffic noise for the units along Haskell. Haskell will have additional traffic once it is extended through. Matt Samitore, Public Works Development Services Coordinator, explained that Ash Street and Haskell Street improvements will be part of the Snowy Butte Station development, not part of Daisy Creek Village. The developer must complete the improvements or bond for them prior to final plat approval. The Public Works Department would prefer that the developer put in the required improvements themselves. There were discussions about parking and progress of the improvements. Mr. Samitore stated that last time the development was checked, there were not any improvements to Phase II or Phase III yet. Cael Neathamer, agent for the applicant clarified the parking spaces. He gave an update on improvements being made. Storm drain is about completed; the sewer line has been constructed up to Snowy Butte Station. The applicant will be rocking or paving due to the excessive mud. Mr. Neathamer brought attention to lots 37, 3S> 39, 42, 43 and 44. (Lots located east of Jason Avenue). He explained that these lots have changed slightly to accommodate utilities by increasing the distance between buildings. Commissioner Fish made a motion to adopt Resolution 631,conditionally approving a Final Development Plan for Phase II and Phase III, and approving a request for fence variance to construct 6' fences in Phases I, II and III of Daisy Creek Estates, a Planned Unit Development. Commissioner Riggs seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: The motion passed unanimously. B. Public meeting to review a final development plan for Pittview Village, a Planned Unit Development. The project is located near the intersection of Pittview Avenue and Shayla Lane, and is identified in the records of the Jackson County Assessor as Map 3~ aW iiAD, Tax Lots 6400 & 6500. Plmrning Crnnnrissiorr :1 /mules December 7, 200-0 Pare 3 Dave Alvord, Community Planner presented the Planning Department staff report Mr. Alvord explained that Mr. Grout's attorneys are working on the CC & R's for this development, other than that, this is a straight forward final development plan. Mr. Samitore, Public Works Development Services Coordinator, explained that bonding for frontage improvements for this development will be allowed, since the original approval took place prior to Public Works implementing the policy change on frontage street bonding. Ken Gerschler, Community Planner added that the developer will have to name the private street. The applicant will need to check with the County Surveyor for uniqueness of the name. Once the private street name has been agreed on, a CMU for mail delivery can be placed. Paul Grout, applicant and developer of Pittview Village asked to talk about the 1/2 street frontage improvements. Mr. Grout would like the property owner of tax lot 640o to pay a pro-rata share of the frontage improvements made along Pittview Avenue. Mr. Grout will complete the frontage improvements in compliance with the conditions of his approval; however he would like to be reimbursed by the property owner for the improvements made along tax lot 6400. Mr. Samitore asked Mr. Grout to submit a letter to that effect to the Public Works Department, at which time they can assist Mr. Grout with his request. Commissioner Moczygernba made a motion to adopt Resolution 632 approving a final development plan for Pittview Village, a Planned Unit Development. Commissioner Lunte seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: T`he motion passed unanimously. VII. MISCELLANEOUS Tom Humphrey, Community Development Director stated that the City Council passed an emergency ordinance for Ballot Measure 37. Mr. Humphrey said that the City is not immediately affected by this Ballot. Counties seem to be impacted the most by the passing of this measure. The ordinance is to adopt procedures to process claims. Mr. Humphrey explained the information that is required to file a claim, the time frame the City has to process, how to determine whether it is an exempt claim, and what the City's options are if a claim is filed and valid. The ordinance was drafted using a model ordinance from League Planning Canmissioii 7vlinules December 7. 2009 Pnge 9 of Oregon Cities. Mr. Humphrey said that Phil Messina, City Administrator; and Hank Williams, Mayor attended the last RPS meeting. There were discussions about whether or not the RPS process will be suspended until it becomes clear how Measure 3~ will work. Measure 3~ claims for Central Point would only be on properties in City limits. There could be a possibility for claims if a property owner was not included in the Urban Reserve proposal, and wanted to be. Historically, the City has initiated zone changes that increase properties development potential, rather than limiting it. Mr. Humphrey gave an update on the RPS process. He said that the justifications have been concluded, and invited the Planning Commissioner's to read and comment on them. If the RPS process is delayed, the City will have to proceed with a UGB amendment because the City is rapidly running out of available land to develop. Mr. Humphrey informed the Commissioners of an upcoming Highway 9g planning process. He explained that there will be an advisory committee formed for the implementation of improvements and designs. The City is hoping to have a representative from the Planning Commission, the Citizen Advisory Committee as well as property owners on Highway 99. It will involve a week long workshop in February, at which time a concept should be available. There was a breakfast meeting with business owners to let them know the City's intentions. Most of the business owners were excited at the possibilities, and a few were skeptical. Mr. Humphrey announced that Donna Higginbotham has resigned as a council member due to family health reasons. The council will probably appoint a replacement for Donna Higginbotham once the new council members are in place. Mr. Humphrey said that some Planning Commissioner's terms are expiring at the end of December and that Citizen Advisory Committee terms renew annually. He added that the City would like to give another commissioner an opportunity as Chairman, putting Chairman Piland in a voting position on the Planning Commission. Commissioner Lunte submitted a letter stating that he would like to let his term expire. Mr. Humphrey asked if any of the Commissioners objected to having our January meeting on the i8~h. This would enable the Council to appoint new Planning Commissioners and Citizen Advisory Committee members. There were no objections, the Planning Commission meeting for January will be held on January i8, 2005. There were discussions regarding parking on 2nd street. Mr. Humphrey explained that the grant received to fund the improvements required that a certain amount of R-O-W had to 1'lnnning ronmussion ;Llinvtes December 7. ZOOA Pn,~+e J be designated for bike lanes. The Council looked at this carefully and had to decide which side of 2°d Street would have the best side street parking options. VIII. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Lunte made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Commissioner Foster seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Motion passed unanimously. Meeting was adjourned at 8:2o P.M.
