Plamiing Commission Minuets September $ `1003 Page `2 railroad tracks in the future and there will be a reserved area for this purpose. There will not be any buildings or other structures permitted in the reserved area for extending Cedar Street. Mr. Gerschler read through the Finding of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Snowy Butte Station will have a variety of zones including residential, commercial and light industrial. McLaughlin Court will have some kind of vehicle traffic blocking device, most likely ballar•ds. 'T'his will allow pedestrian and bike traffic to flow from one subdivision to another. Commissioner Fish stated that there should not be traffic blocking devices and that vehicle traffic should be allowed to pass through to Chicory Lane and to allow emergency vehicles better access. The applicant, Craig Stone, 708 Cardley, explained the types of zoning and what types of development will be constructed in the subdivison. There will be a number of park areas and an area for a possible city welcome sign near Highway 99. Mr. Stone stated that there is not an opportunity for the widening of Chicory Lane and in his opinion no more traffic should be allowed to use the lane. The Civic area that will be used for a church could be used for a turn around for Chicory Lane. Chicory Lane property owners have been unwilling to cooperate to widen street because they would have to dedicate property for additional right of way and widening of the street. Commissioner Riggs asked if there is going to be a turn around on the south end of Haskell Street. Mr. Stone said that the proposed park area at the end of Haskell could be used as a temporary turn around until Haskell Street continues further south. Commissioner Fish stated that she would like to see Chicory Lane widened. Mr. Gerschler said that there are other options for access to Chicory Lane when other properties are developed in the firture. Virginia Brown, a property owner ou Chicory Lane, stated that she wanted to receive a tax refund from the City and Fire District because she feels that she is not receiving those services on Chicory Lane. She wants Chicory Lane to connect to McLaughlin Court or connect to Cheny Loop. Mr. Gerschler said that she needs to talk to her neighbors to see if they would be willing to give up property to widen the lane. We can also put that portion of Chicory Lane on a list for possible State funds to pave it some time in the future. Jim Stadtfeld, 507 Glenn Way, asked if this project would have any effect on Daisy Creek and some of the problems associated with flooding and will the new residential homes be elevated above the homes on Glenn Way. CiU~ or Ceuu~al Point Ylauuing Commission Minutes September 2, 2003 Page 3 Lou Cosentino, 333 Glenn Way, asked if truck and rail traffic would increase due to the commercial and light industrial uses and also if Daisy Creek would be effected by this development. Mr. Stone answered Mrs. Brown by stating that if Chicory Lane went through there would be an increase in traffic. There will be opportunity for Lindsey Court to go through to Haskell Street in the future allowing better access to Chicory Lane. This development should not change or have any negative effect on Daisy Creek and if anything it should improve the creek at flood stages because of the park area. All work done near the creek will be in accordance to City, State or Federal regulations. There will be truck traffic in the industrial and commercial area but it should not be as heavy as when the mill was in operation. All streets will be built to Public Works standards and can handle major truck traffic Mr. Stone agreed to remove the birm along Chicory Lane. ti itlotz~: ~r.r,`~~~o., Z Commissioner ~trte grade a motion to adopt Resolution 587, approving a Tentative Plan for Snowy Butte Station Subdivision that would create 98 lots on Map 37 2W ., '~ LOAD, Tax Lots 100, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1100, 1200, 1300 and Map 37 2W ~ 11BC, Tax Lots 4500 and 4600 subject to the recommended conditions of approval `` - and that the developer remove the birm at the end and on the east side of Chicory _ ~~ Lane north of Lindsey Court.

There were no ex-parte communications or conflicts of interest. Ken Gerschler, Community Planner, presented the Planning Department staff report. He explained that Elk Creek is a limiting factor in developing this property. There needs to be a 25 foot top-of-stream-bank setback for any structure. DSL has been notified about the possible wetlands area on or near the property. The width of lot 4 should be 60' instead of 55'. Fire District #3, Rogue Valley Sewer Services, and Rogue River Irrigation District have been notified.

Ken Greschler, Community Plamier, presented the Planning Department Staff report. Mr. Greschler explained that lots 1, 2, and 3 are in the C-4, Tourist and Office zoning district, lots 4, 5 and 6 are in the C-5, "Thoroughfare Commercial zoning district and lot 7, which is the current USF Reddaway truck terminal, is in the M-2, Industrial General zoning district. There will be a cross access easement through lots I-6 with additional access between lots 4 and 5 to Biddle. These access streets must be wide enough to support trucks and be built to City standards. Dennis Hoftbuhr, 3155 Alameda, and Larry Wilson, USF Reddaway, commented that the access streets will have curb, gutter and sidewalks and no on street parking. The access street through lots 1-6 could be continued to Table Rock Road when the Batter property is developed. Mr. Wilson stated that he would like to see the width of the birm reduced but the height would remain the same. This would provide more area for the access street. Lots 1 and 2 would be developed first and they have a hotel and restaurant looking to buy these lots. The access street will be built and maintained by the property owner of each lot. Kenny Johnson will be building one or two hotels on lots 1 and 2 and stated that the hotels would be seeking two different clientele.

Becha Croft, 2535 Beebe Road, stated that she does not want to see a signal at Meadowbrook and Biddle but would like see a raised medium between Table Kock Road and Hamrick Road to keep people from turning left onto Biddle Road from the access street. Chris Clayton stated that if accidents occur at the intersection of Meadowbrook Drive and the access street between lots 4 and 5 that would warrant traffic barriers, a signal or both.
