COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS Mr. Estes noted this concluded his first year of being a Councilman and many people have asked him "how is it to be on the Council." His response to them had been it has been an exercise in patience. He announced he had a new project...pursuing an ex-City politician, who has a large amount of outstanding parking tickets. He extended a "happy new year" to everyone and asked that they drive safely. Mr. Horninq stated after eight years on the City Council he too believed it was an exercise of patience, but work does get done. He acknowledged plumbers were the "people of the hour" and using their expertise rescuing residents and businesses from broken and frozen pipes. He extended a special "thank you" to Jim Adrian, former Council member, for his assistance in mending a major pipe brake in one of his properties on Christmas Eve. TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 2 of 15 Mr. Waibel reported he repaired his broken pipes before Christmas Eve, allowing him to have a very enjoyable holiday. He wished everyone a "happy new year." Mr. Johnson thanked Ken Brees and his crews for the excellent job they did in taking care of the streets during the extreme weather conditions. He observed County trucks traveling along Harlow, which curves in and out of the city limits, and they were neither sanding nor grading along this road. He suggested working with the County to coordinate those areas that could be better served by County or City street crews during emergency type road conditions. He noted he was somewhat appalled at the number of sidewalks in the downtown business core area that were not cleared of ice and snow. This presented a dangerous situation for pedestrians and could present a liability situation for the City. Mr. Johnson noted the City of Tacoma was considering a "Street Utility" to provide funds for refurbishing of City streets. He pointed out Council President Horton brought up this idea about two years ago and maybe should be reconsidered for the City of Bremerton. Mr. Dawkins reported he would be leaving for California on December 27 to attend the Rose Bowl Game and cheer for the University Of Washington Huskies. He complimented all City employees for their efforts to provide City services during the extreme weather conditions. Mr. Collins wished everyone a "happy new year." Mrs. Horton extended a special "thank you" to each Council member for this past year that she had the opportunity to act as Council President. She emphasized the council was composed of very fine individuals, who possess the ability to come up with excellent ideas and leadership. Much time this past year was been spent educating the Council on Vision 2020 and "HB2929" growth management legislation. Mayor Louis Mentor reported he had received very positive responses from citizens on what a good job the City had done in keeping the streets drivable. The Street Department crews and Utility Department crews worked long hours assisting residents and businesses. He acknowledged the effort of those employees who made their way to work on the worst snow/ice days and their ability to keep the departments open and operating. The only negative calls he received were from people who lived in County areas bordering City limits, who requested assistance in their area. He directed those individuals to contact their County Commissioner. Mr. Collins requested the Mayor pass on thanks to Mrs. Mentor for her assistance as stand in as the Mayor's secretary. Mr. Johnson commended radio stations KITZ and KBRO for their update TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 3 of 15 reporting of snow conditions and closures due to the weather once they were back on the air. He also commended them for the special services they provided in matching up people in need with those who could assist, such as people with 4-wheel drive vehicles assisting people without transportation, people out of heating fuel and electricity, etc. Public Recognition - none 6A - CONTRACT EXTENSION DIAMOND PARKING, #AB90-313 The contract with Diamond Parking ends on December 31, 1990. In order to complete the review of the overall downtown parking issues and to make a decision regarding continued contracting vs. City operation of City owned parking facilities, it is requested that the contract with Diamond Parking be extended for 90 days ending March 31, 1991. Public comment - none. Mr. Waibel questioned when was the original contract entered into with Diamond parking? Kathleen McCluskey, City Clerk, stated the original contract commenced 3 1/2 years ago. Mr. Collins stated he had a problem with the safety of people and vehicles in the City's parking lot. He reported there were 42 police calls last year directed toward breaking and entering vehicles and a total of 160 calls by people using the Parking Garage. He did not see anything in the contract that states Diamond Parking was responsible for any kind of protection. Ms. McCluskev stated that was one of the reasons for the contract extension for three months. The Administration would be looking at what kinds of safety features could be implemented in the City Garage. Under the current contract Diamond Parking had responsibility liability for keeping the areas clean preventing trips and falls, etc., but there were no specific safety features. Mr. Collins questioned if there wasn't some kind of clause that could be included to help address this problem. Ms. McCluskey stated no, unless the City wanted to renegotiate the contract. Mayor Mentor and she reviewed a number of things relating to safety issues and did not intend to request Diamond to provide funding for any kind of safety features because they may not continue as the contractor after three months. Mr. Collins stated he felt something could be done that would not be costly, such as Diamond entering into an agreement for the Merchant Patrol to drive through at random times during day/night, etc. Ms. McCluskey stated she agreed and those were the kinds of things they were looking at. If Diamond was asked to spend any funds to initiate safety measures during the three months, they would charge the City for those costs. Rather than that, she felt that having the Police Patrol or Parking Regulators drive through the areas several times a day may TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 4 of 15 help. President Horton questioned if Ms. McCluskey would be prepared to address this issue at a February or March I Study Session? Ms. McCluskey stated yes, possibly by February. President Horton suggested discussing the safety aspect with the Mayor within the next week to see if some sort of short-term solution could be implemented. #0484 M/S/C/U (Waibel/Estes) Motion to approve contract extension with Diamond Parking ending March 31, 1991. 6B - INMATE HOUSING CONTRACT ADDENDUM FOR THE YEAR 1991, #AB90-314 The addendum is only a change in the price from $40.00 per day to $42.00 per day. The term of the contract extends the existing agreement to December 31, 1991, (actual agreement has a term of 10 years). Public comment - none. Mr. Johnson pointed out it was a 10 year contract with a substantial annual increase. #0691 M/S/C(Johnson/Dawkins) to approve the amendment to house prisoners during the year 1991, which increases the rate per day or portion of a day from $40.00 to $42.00. Vote: In Favor: Estes, Horning, Horton, Collins, Dawkins, Johnson Opposed: Waibel President Horton noted this was another item that needed to have an in-depth review before the 1992 budget considerations. 6C - RENEWAL OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF BREMERTON POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE BREMERTON HOUSING AUTHORITY, #AB90-316 The current Interlocal Agreement between the City of Bremerton and the Bremerton Rousing Authority terminates on December 31, 1990. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has made funds available to the Bremerton Housing Authority for the purchase of additional police security in the Westpark Housing Development for this fiscal year. The proposed Interlocal Agreement makes available $199,286 with which do purchase these services. The agreement begins on January 1, 1991, and terminates on December 31, 1991. Council authorization is required for contract signature. Public comment - none. Mr. Dawkins questioned if this was a new grant or continuation of the old one? Connie DevaneV, Grants Manager, explained initially TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 5 of 15 the grant was written with the hope that it would be funded for five years with built-in 6% increase every year. What the City received was a three year grant, so every year the City had to resubmit a proposal, which could be turned down. However, HUD approved the program for three years and it was anticipated the City would submit a proposal for funding for two more years. President Horton noted in the past the City had relied on overtime of Police officers to comply with this contract and questioned if the Police Department would have manpower available January 1, or would they continue to use overtime staffing? And, if not, would there be a delay in hiring and thus stretch out the term of the grant? Mrs. Devaney stated the term of the grant could not be stretched out. The City had to use all of the funds before December 31, 1991, or it was lost. She was not sure if the Police Chief had staffing levels up to allow full time staffing of this agreement. It was her understanding that Chief McNeal wanted to make sure that the funding was in place before hiring additional staff. President Hotton stated it was more cost effective if staffing could be provided, who were not paid time and one half. Mrs. Devaney stated HUD did not seem concerned about staffing at the higher rate. Initially the City proposed that four Police Officers would be hired and assigned to the Westpark area. HUD was not comfortable with that proposal and preferred to reimburse the City at an hourly rate. Mr. Horning pointed out there was a set figure of $38, 021. Mr. Waibel stated Council had expressed their position on this issue to the Police Chief. Mr. Johnson stated he believed this was one of the best deals that HUD had received for the funds and through the bike patrols and extra police protection had created a good community spirit in the Westpark area. #0928 M/S/C/U(Johnson/Waibel) to approve the Interlocal Agreement as presented and authorize the Mayor to execute said agreement. 6D - REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AGREEMENT - CITY OF BREMERTONAND ROBERT GREEN, #AB90-320 A real estate purchase agreement is presented for City Council's consideration for the purchase of a parcel of property located along the east side of Snyder Avenue at 25th Street. The purchase of the property will allow for the installation of the Port Washington Narrows Crossing transmission main and for the future construction of a pump station for providing increased flows to East Bremerton during peak flow periods. Total cost of the property is $30,000.00 together with costs associated with the repair of the rock bulkhead estimated not to exceed $10,000.00. TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 6 of 15 Bill Duffy, Utilities Director, stated the parcel was required to facilitate construction of a water transmission main from east Bremerton across the Port Washington Narrows and down Snyder. It would be utilized for the future construction of a new booster station that would replace the booster station on the old transmission next to the Community Theater. Public comment - none. Mr. Waibel noted in the agreement it identified use of some of the property adjacent to the site, for a 90 day period, for a lay-down area while construction was underway. He questioned if this would be adequate time for building a utility station or should a longer time be requested? Mr. Dully stated he wasn't sure they would even need the extra area, however, he believed if there needed to be an extension it would be attainable. Mr. Collins pointed out this property had been the subject of a variety of proposals for the past eight years and questioned what kind of structure was the Utility planning to build on it and did it meet the requirements of the Shorelines Management Act, etc.? Mr. Duffy stated several weeks ago Council acted on a Zoning Amendment to allow Municipal structures to be built on smaller than residential lots. Mr. Collins questioned if the City would be building something that the citizens had already objected to from the standpoint of a structure? Mr. Duff~ stated he would be constructing an 18" transmission main across the property and potentially a pump house would be constructed, that may be above or below ground. Mr. Collins questioned if the City had made any kind of commitment to the people that lived in that area? Mr. Duffy stated typically pump stations were a fairly standard design. President Hotton stated whatever was done the City should follow the Zoning Ordinances and whatever regulations mandated. Mr. Duff~ emphasized that at this time he did not know whether the pump station would be needed and that was why it was not being designed in this part of the contract. A pump station may be needed in 3-5- 10 years as growth continues in Bremerton. Mr. Colllns questioned once the property belonged to the City would it be made into a park? Mr. Duffy stated no, it was not large enough, however, there would be landscaping per Building Permit requirements. Mr. Johnson questioned in the area addressing repairing of a bulkhead, was this area the type where "pocket park" technology could be used? President Horton stated it was not wetlands material. Mr. Waibel explained part of the bulkhead would be on the seller's land. Mr. Duffy stated it would tie two bulkheads together...one that the City currently owned at 25th and Snyder and one to the property to the south. To leave a section out would TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 7 of 15 have an adverse effect. Mr. Dawkins questioned where would the transmission line come out on the east side? Mr. Dully explained the line would come up just north of the boat ramp at Lebo Field. Mr. Waibel questioned how long would it take to complete the placement of the transmission line? Mr. Duffy stated he was going through the permit process currently and there was a Department Of Fisheries' prohibition between March and June. Mr. Waibel questioned how soon would the project be completed once it commenced? He requested that the contract request "9 months or more" for the lay-down area. Mr. Dully noted he was not even sure at this time whether he'll need the area. He anticipates most of the construction work would be completed from a barge. He saw no problem changing the time period. #1303 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Horning) Motion to approve the Real Estate Purchase Agreement for the purchase of a parcel of property for the construction of the Port Washington Narrows Crossing transmission main with the change in agreement to nine months from six months (Section 4(b)) and authorize the Mayor to execute said agreement subject to City Administrative Policies and Procedures. 6E - LEASE OF FACILITY FOR SANITARY/STORM SEWER DIVISION OF THE STREET DEPARTMENT, #AB90-321 The Street Department is currently located in a facility on Sheldon Blvd. Due to recent growth of the department, there is now overcrowding in this facility. The Street Department wishes to move the Sanitary/Storm Sewer Division to a separate location. This facility would house the sanitary/storm sewer and sweeper crews. It would also provide inside storage for several pieces of equipment including (2) vactors; sweeper, backhoe; TV van; sewer truck; dump truck; 5 yard truck; 1/2 ton P/U; salt machine and (6) snow plows. This move will allow better equipment storage; easy access to the City garage for the vactors and sweeper; less equipment shuffling; and less equipment damage. We also hope to move the salt currently stored in Gorst to this facility. The City has negotiated a three (3) year lease with Fox Bros. Warehousing for a 5000 square foot facility located at 5219 1st Street, Bremerton. The building is available for occupancy January 1, 1991. Monthly lease amount is $1,700.00. Ken Brees, Street Superintendent explained the need to providing covered housing for the above named equipment that amounted to a value of $600,000. He noted this would be an interim use until something more permanent could be developed, such as a public works complex. Some pieces of equipment were critical to operations of the utility and should be protected from the severe cold #2457 TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 8 of 15 temperatures. Public comment - none. Mr. Dawkins reported this item was reviewed by the Operations Committee and they recommended approval of the proposal. President Horton questioned budgetary impact of the proposal? Mr. Brees stated the lease would cost approximately $20,400 per year and would become part of the Street Department's operating costs. Part of those costs would be passed on to the Utility and various operations within the department. He believed the cost savings preventing damage to the equipment would out weigh the cost of the facility. Mr. Johnson suggested that the Mayor be given some flexibility in date of commencement of the agreement to take advantage of moving the equipment before January 1. Mr. Waibel agreed with Mr. Johnson's suggestion but preferred that it not be included in the motion. #2457 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Dawkins) Motion to approve thirty six (36) month lease with Fox Bros. Warehouses. President Horton announced Council would adjourn to an Executive Session to discuss "litigation"- 6:20 PM. City Council meeting reconvened at 7:35 PM. 7A - PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED) - MT. ZION CHURCH ANNEXATION - TO CONSIDER A REOUEST TO ANNEX TWO PARCELS (2.4 ACRES) LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE CITY LIMITS NORTH OF 8YLVAN WAY, #AR90-317 On July 25, 1990, the City Council gave its initial approval for the annexation of two parcels owned by Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The property abuts other church owned property within the City and is included in a Planned Unit Development (PUD), that is also being processed at this time. The Planning Commission conduced a public hearing to consider pre-annexation zoning and has recommended City Council approval of "Multi-family (MF)" zoning upon annexation. The Notice Of Intention was prepared and submitted to the Boundary Review Board and the 45 day period has expired with no challenges being filed. The final step in this annexation process is the City Council's final public hearing on the Annexation and zoning. If approved, the Annexation Ordinance will be prepared and returned for approval at a later meeting. President Horton asked the "Appearance Of Fairness/Conflict Of Interest" question with all Council members being seated. TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 9 of 15 Mr. Homing questioned if he would have a conflict because he was a multi-family builder who owned a piece of property somewhat near the proposed project? Ian Sievers, City Attorney, stated he would have to rely on Mr. Horning's opinion whether approving the PUD would change the land value of his property. Mr. Homing stated not in the least and he felt he was capable of making a fair judgment on this proposal. With that, Mr. Horning remained seated. Ron Hough, Planning Manager, stated the applicant requested "Multi- family Residential (MF) zoning of the property upon annexation. The intent is to include the Annexation Area in a residential PUD that includes portions of the church's property to the east. This annexation, PUD and Comprehensive Plan Amendment were packaged to be processed simultaneously to expedite the process and to arrive at the best possible development. The Planning commission conducted its public hearing on annexation zoning and recommended approval of the PUD and approval of Multi- family (MF) zoning, if Council approves the annexation. To get a grasp of the whole project, Mr. Hough provided the total project and then Council actions would be taken individually. Mr. Hough provided a view graph showing the location of the project, north of Sylvan Way and a little west of Rickey Road (a portion inside the City and a portion outside). Mr. Hough provided a view graph showing the proposed project. Mt. Zion Church property surrounded Pinewood Manor but did not include it. The Church's intention is to build their new church on 2.7 acres of the total 10 acre property and sell the remaining property to a developer. The designed project included seven clusters of multi-family condominiums aimed at the senior citizen market. The church did complete a short plat dividing the 2.7 acres from the other property. The development would have their own street access, looping through the complex and exiting out on to Sylvan Way. The total project includes 104 units and the total overall density would be 15 units per acre. The Multi-family zoning District allows the PUD density up to 22 units per acre, however, this was not the total density allowed. Mr. Hough provided a view graph of the Comprehensive Plan - part of the PUD process includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and the subject area would be changed from low density to medium density residential, including the two lots that were outside the City limits. The proposed annexation would streamline the current City limits in that area. A view graph showing the proposal for a rezone was displayed, that was part of the PUD, changing the zoning from Single-family (SF2) to Multi-family (MF). Pinewood Manor was included in the rezone so that there would not be a spot zone. Pinewood is considered a TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 10 of 15 higher density facility and would be consistent with the Multi- family zoning. Following a public hearing before the Planning Commission, they recommended the subject site be zoned Multi-family and the recommendation from staff was to approve the annexation. A view graph showing the current zoning for the area was displayed, that also showed the zoning outside City limits (R-5 Residential, 5-units per acre). The subdivision directly to the north was zoned SF-2 and zoned Duplex and Residential to the east. Mr. Hough noted the owners of a piece of property to the west of the annexation area were contacted and asked if they were interested in annexing a single family home on the property. They indicated they might be interested in the future, but not at this time. Mr. Hough reviewed the proposed PUD that included: (104 condominium units grouped in clusters, internal patio areas, recreation center, 25 foot buffer strip along the side of the property, which was more than was required (applicant had offered to cooperate with residents on the north side concerning types of trees to plant). A PUD requires a minimum of 15% open space and the proposed project had met that requirement (mini-golf course/putting green, recreation center and internal open space within each cluster of buildings. Annexation - the City Council gave its approval of the annexation on July 25, 1990. Since that time, Mt. Zion Church submitted their 75% petition to annex. A neighborhood meeting was held September 20, 1990, at the Sheridan Center with 50-60 people attending. A Notice Of Intent to Annex was filed with the Boundary Review Board in October and no challenge to the annexation was received. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on November 13, 1990, on the zoning issue and recommended Multi-family (MF) if the annexation was approved. The only condition the Planning Commission recommended, other than what the applicant had designed in the project, related to parking. The designer designed parking that would fit a senior project. Some members of the Planning Commission and citizens who attended the public hearing, were concerned if the occupants of the units changed to something other than seniors then additional parking would be needed. Staff's recommendation originally was to include an alternative concept for parking for the total amount required (161 spaces). The applicant designed the project for 130 parking spaces based on parking needs of a "senior" project. The Planning Commissions recommends that the full 161 parking spaces be provided. Richard Goetze, member of the Illahee Group, provided conceptual drawings of the proposed PUD project. He briefly reviewed the intended use of the property and noted it was a "for sale" project. TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 11 of 15 He pointed out the cluster concept provided parking around the cluster allowing people to park as close to their dwelling as possible without having to park along the main street or in large parking areas. And, the cluster concept fitted an irregular piece of property. Mr. Goetze emphasized the Illahee Group's desire to annex the proposed property in order for them to complete their loop circulation through the project. If the property were not annexed it would complicate the development of the proposed project whereby they would have to deal with both the City and County. Public comment - none. Mr. Johnson stated he felt this proposal was reasonable and well thought out. He felt it also insured that this property would not be allowed to go too high in density in the future and blended well with the surrounding area. #2352 M/S/C/U(Collins/Waibel) Motion to approve this annexation and application of the "Multi-family (MF)" zoning district upon annexation. 7B - PUBLIC HEARING (CONTINUED) PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT - TO CONSIDER A REOUEST BY THE ILLAHEE GROUP FOR APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PUD PLAN FOR A 104 UNIT CONDOMINIUM COMPLEX TO BE LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SYLVAN WAY, #AN90-318 Mt. Zion Church owns approximately 10 acres of land on the north side of sylvan way west of Rickey road. They plan to construct a new church on three acres. The Illahee Group is interested in purchasing the remaining 7 acres for the development of a 104 unit condominium complex. The preliminary PUD Plan has been processed through the Planning Commission. The PUD package contains a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, rezone of land within the City limits, PUD Plan approval, and involves the annexation of a 2.4 acre portion of the total site. A public hearing before the City Council has been scheduled for additional public comment and for Council approval of the Plan Amendment and rezone components of the PUD. If approved, the necessary resolution and ordinance will be prepared to finalize these changes. Richard Goetze, member of Illahee Group, stated one of the comments that came up during previous public hearings was the ratio of parking. They were providing 25% more parking than was provided in at the senior facility at Pinewood. In their experience, they believe that one-to-one parking ratio was too high for such a facility. Mr. Goetze provided a copy of a survey they performed of nine senior type facilities. The survey revealed in all the areas there was in no case more than one-to-one parking. The interesting portion of the chart was the number of stalls and the numbered that were occupied. In all of those instances the percentages were 50% TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 12 of 15 and under. Lastly, on the parking matter, they photographed two developments in Bremerton (The Willows and Antoinette - Dec. 17), which showed no vehicles in the parking lot. It was their belief that most of the vehicles parked around or near the facilities belonged to employees. Therefore, they believe the parking ratio was adequate and if required, they could provide for a change in parking ratio if some of the units change from senior use to regular market housing. An overlay was created which showed areas redesigned to provide parking for the 30 vehicles, if required. To do this, the open space designated as a putting green would be eliminated and developed into parking spaces. They respectfully requested that the 11/4 to one ratio be accepted. Mr. Goetze noted the project would be sprinklered as a safety factor that was slightly above the code requirement for this type of dwelling. Public comment - none. Mr. Estes questioned what assurance could the developers give that the project would be limited to senior housing? Mr. Goetze stated it all revolved around the laws addressing discrimination and they cannot push discrimination beyond some point where a legal response would be evoked. They will be actively marketing "for sale to seniors". Ron Hough, Planning Manger, stated they did give this issue consideration and it was a concern to the surrounding neighbors. From a Planning Department point of view, they looked at the project as a multi-family unit project with so much density per acre and did not get into the issue of who would be living the facilities. If the project changed to a family sort of development, covenants could be written that stated additional parking would be required. To determine if the need existed, the Planning Department could do an annual review or respond to complaints, etc., and require additional parking then. However, the intent was to present a design initially showing where the additional parking spaces could be placed. For a "senior" project one-to-one parking space was common and in some cases more than needed. President Horton questioned if additional parking requirement were invoked would the open space requirement still be within the 15%? Mr. Hough stated yes, however, the developer may have to adjust some of the driveways to keep it at 15%. Mr. Collins stated he liked the basic plan, however, he felt there was not enough planning for parking of recreation type vehicles, boats, etc., and supported requiring the full quality of parking stalls. Mr. Johnson questioned if Mt. Zion Church was included in the PUD TAPE #879 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 13 of 15 TAPE #880 for purposes of the open space? Mr. Hough stated yes. Mr. Johnson questioned if the open space on the drawing noted as "future building" was that open space part of the open space for the PUD? Mr. Hough stated it was part of the Church's requirement for open space but not part of the condominium requirement. The entire area, with the exception of Pinewood Manor, was included in the PUD. Mr. Johnson questioned what arrangements were made for transit and Paratransit to pick up residents? Mr. Hough stated Paratransit already served Pinewood Manor and the regular bus route travels down Sylvan to Rickey Road. Mr. Johnson stated he believed there should be some type of bus stop or bus turn out for a development of that density. He also supported requiring the full number of parking spaces, however, he would be willing to negotiate if good transit service could be established within the complex. Mr. Goetze stated the developers had discussed having transit service available at the clubhouse location. Also, there would be internal transportation service available to key points through the week. Mr. Johnson questioned how the developer would handle the drainage? Mr. Goetze stated Pac-Tech Engineering was designing a drainage program for the development. Mr. Johnson stated concerning providing availability of transit, the Church may be willing to work with the developers to provide such service to the Church. Mr. Goetze suggested another area for a possible bus turn-out, that may require residents to walk some distance. Mr. Homing suggested that the developers do place a bus stop at that very location and that residents who could not walk that distance would probably be taking Paratransit. To address future parking needs, he suggested a cross parking agreement with Pinewood Manor. He felt there was enough parking as proposed and did not want to harm the open space, buffer and amenities by putting in more parking spots, especially if they were not needed. Mr. Johnson questioned if a cross parking agreement could be affixed permanently to the site? Mr. Horning stated yes. Mr. Goetze stated they did not observe very many Rvs, campers, etc., in other senior oriented facilities. Mr. Johnson stated he could support the lessor numbers of parking spaces if there were provisions that would provide for additional parking if needed. Mr. Homing emphasized that the cross-parking agreement could accomplish that. President Hotton questioned how many parking slots could be squeezed in without taking out the putting green? Mr. Goetze stated he could probably get 8 spaces in that area. President Hotton questioned the number of residents at Pinewood Manor? Mr. Goetze estimated 160-165 seniors. Mr. Estes emphasized one of the best activities for senior citizens was walking and he did not see a problem locating a transit pickup point in a location that would require some walking. Mr. Waibel questioned for clarification if there was a request for TAPE #880 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 14 of 15 a PUD on Mt. Zion Church? Mr. Hough stated the Church was part of the total proposal. Once the PUD plan was approved, the whole proposal would be recorded as one site plan. He noted the Church site could be excluded from the PUD, if Council desired. The reason it was included was to prevent spot zoning; and the Church was the head of the PUD, including Building Permits. Mr. Homing requested explanation as to the Building Permit, how many parking stalls were required, etc. Mr. Hough stated there was no problem with the Church. Mr. Johnson expressed concern over the possibility of the open space being calculated for the condominium project included the open area around the church. He questioned how did one figure the percentage of open space in the non-church portion of the PUD? Mr. Hough stated it would be 15% of the total area of the non-church property. President Horton stated for clarification the request included a PUD for the Illahee Group and the Comprehensive Plan change and rezone for the whole proposed area. Mr. Homing suggested excluding the church from the preliminary permit. President Horton questioned if the Comprehensive Plan Amendment should be done first for the whole area, then do the rezone for the whole area and do the PUD only on the Illahee Group portion. Mr. Hough stated yes, however, that would leave the church out of the PUD but giving it Multi-family (MF) zoning. If it was decided to not build a church and sell the site, someone could then build more apartments without a PUD. Mr. Homing questioned if the density is increased from 7 to 15 how is it then rezoned to Multi-family (22-unites per acre)? Mr. Hough stated Multi-family goes to 22 units per acres, being a medium density zoning district, it was not directly compatible with the City's medium plan designation. Mr. Homing questioned if approval was given to the 15 unites per acre, would it preclude rezoning the area to Multi-family (MF)? Mr. Hough stated no and the Comprehensive Plan would not hold it to 15. At the time specific zoning was adopted density would be regulated. #0636 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Estes) Motion to approve the Comprehensive Plan amendment from Residential, 0-7 DU/AC to Residential, 7-15 DU/AC for the entire area, including the area previously annexed and rezoned. #0689 M/S/C/U(Horning/Estes) Motion to approve the rezone from Single-family (SF-2) to Multi-family (MF), as shown on Exhibit C. #0710 M/S/C/U(Waibel/Estes) Motion to approve the Preliminary PUD for the Sylvan Way Senior Housing Planned Unit Development for 104 unit residential condominium development, as shown on Exhibit C, subject to the following conditions: the PUD area will provide a bus pull off area on Sylvan Way and before final PUD they shall also have obtained a cross-parking agreement with either Pinewood Manor amd/or the church. TAPE #880 City Council Reg. Mtg. Minutes December 26, 1990 Page 15 of 15 Mr. Hough questioned if they could not get the cross-parking agreement with their neighbors would they be required to add the extra 31 spaces on their property?
