Pedestrian Connection Treatment A concern has been raised that the conditian language currently in the Interim Use Permit AgrEernent regarding the pedestrian connectiox� does not indicate the type of sur�acing material that the walkway would be constructed out of. The cannection would be rec�uired to be maintained year-round and as such would need io be constz-ucted out of an improved hard surface. Potentia] Condition Lan�ge: The temporary pedestrian connection sl�all be constructed with an improved hard surface such as concrete or bituminous. Excessive City Service Use A concem that the use of the property as student hausing will increase the number of ernergency service ealls, ihus increasing the cost to the City for such services, has been raised. A condition can reasonably be added that would allow the City to defer any increase in costs for ennergency services directly reIated to this use to Northwestern College or the owner of the property. Staff has discussed this issue with the Fire Chief and he is not camfortable with this condition; he is concerned that this will deter �re calls. In addition, he does r�at feel that the additio�al calls frorn the student housing would impact the fee to the City. He stated that if they received ten to twenty calls a year from the property he would consider that excessive. After reviewing the candition however, he did indicate that if the condition was to be added he woutd be comfortable with the language of it. Another option that is a�ailable is to i�clude excess emergency serviee casts incurred by the City as a result of this use as a reasonable use of the f nancial surety alz'eady being given to the City by the property owner as proposed in condition 2. In this way, the money is held in the form of an escrow in the event that an excessive amount of police or fire calis results in adc�ztional fees to the City. Potential Condition Lan�ua�e: If the City incurs additional fire and/or law enforcernent service costs, as determined by the �'ire Chief and Police Chief, beyond those of the preexisting use, Northwestern Col�ege shail reimburse to the City the cost of such services.
