Tom Humphrey, Planning Direttor, presented the Planning Department Staff Report Mr. Humphrey explained that the purpose of bringing this back before the Planning Commission is to insure the guidelines that were see up as part of the Planned Unit Development are followed through. The developer is planning on doing the development in two phases. "This first phase is 51 units. The reason for doing the development in phases is so that the flood study that would affect the lots closer to Griffin Creek can be conducted after the Ciry of Central Point has completed the culvert improvements on Scenic Avenue. The developer still has not submitted a landscape plan to the City of Central Point. The Plan will be similar to the one submitted for North Valley Estates with street uees and meandering sidewalks. Lee Brennan, Public Works Director, presented the Public Works Staff Report_ All of the lots in this development are considered to be in the 100-year flood plain. The City will need a Landscape Plan before Final Plat will be granted. All of the streets and sueetlights are considered private. The developer will have to put in temporary cul-de-sacs so that vehicles can turn around. If there are any on the property, they will have ro be properly abandoned. Commissioner Lunte asked about the open space and tot lot. Mr. Humphrey stated these would be part of Phase II of the project. Commissioner Fish made a motion to pass Resolution 484 approving the final development plan for Phase I of the Miller Estates Planned Unit Development. Approval is subject to the Planning and Public Works Staff reports and the construction of temporary cul-de-sac bulbs be put in for vehicle turn around movements. Commissioner Riggs seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Motion passed unanimously. C.

Ken Gerschler, Community Planner, presented the Planning Deparnnent Staff Report. US West is requesting an additiona1900 square feet so that they can upgrade their facility to meet new demand in the.Central Point area and to add new facilities as needed. The main problems Cit}' o f Cenu~~l Poirit Pfmxrtirzg Co~m~eusion Alinaetec Maye?, 2000 Page 3 here are that there is not very much parking. The city would like the applicants to either enter into a shared parking agreement with a neighboring property or help in the cost of obtaining a public parking area in the downtown area. "I'hc applicants would like to add a driveway off of Manzanita Street and add a gate to that access. It appears as if a tree would have to be removed in order to do this. If removing the tree were necessary the City of Central Point Staff would like to work with the applicants to replace the tree with one on the new list of recommended trees. New addressing also needs to be applied to the building on the Manzanita Street side for the Fire District. The City of Central Point would also like the applicants to agree to participate in a Local Improvement District (LID) to improve the alley. Lee Brennan, Public Works Director, presented the Public Works Staff Report. The Public Works Department would like the LID done by next October 2000, before the winter rain begins. The developer needs to design and implement a site drainage/storm drain plan that corrects and enhances existing site drainage. A 10-Foot PUE is being requested along Manzanita Street for when the Ciry of Central Point eventually puts the utilities underground. An area lighting plan is also recommended. Julie Coe, the agent for the applicant, stated that for the next few months it will be bust/ at the site until all the improvements and upgrades are done. Also, they agree to participate in the LID, and either come up with a shared parking agreement with a neighboring property or help in obtaining a city parking lot. She can talk to the managers about keeping only three vehicles there overnight. Commissioner Johnson made a motion to pass Resolution 485> approving the Site Plan subject to the recommended conditions of approval in the Planning and Public Works Department Staff reports, coming up with a shared parking agreement with a neighboring property or helping to obtain a city parking lot, and participating in a LID.
