.. Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, April 8, 1985 Page two - Asked the scale of the apartment huilding. Miller said it is about 300 feet long, tip to tip. - Asked what developer would do with the townhouse portion of the site if he determines that townhouses become impractical. Miller said the developer can request an amendment, which requires General Plan review for a new proposal. - Asked the size of the penthouse. Answer was - about 20% of the roof cover (2,500 square feet of area); penthouse is about 3/4 of the building width and 40 feet long at the center portion of the building. - Asked how the developer envisions the street on the property line will be paid for. Keefer said by the property owners on either side. ~. Cross sections of elevations were reviewed by Council. Miller noted that the townhouses are at a lower elevation, actually below the Highway 10 grade; noted that the earth rises beyond the townhouse area, falls where the parking lot is proposed, rises again to the apartment site. Miller said the two- story portion of the building is about 6' to 8' above the townhouse roof line; third story is IS' to 16' above the peak of townhouse roof line. Miller noted that the site elevations vary from 890' to 925', and showed a profile of the site showing the separation between the apartment and townhouses. Miller noted that the development will present a low profile from Highway 10; would see about 1-1/2 stories of the apartment building .- from the upper floor of the townhouses, one would see about two stories of the building. Miller noted that the biggest grade change occurs between the apartment units and town- houses; explained that the proposal meets the natural terrain very well. Comments from the Floor were: GeorRe Winiecki - resides on the adjacent property to the south. Winiecki said the Winiecki family has trouble with the cost of the road and is not in favor of this road. Winiecki stated that the water line is more on the Winiecki property, said the sewer will have to be located on the Bussard property. Keefer explained that the road on the property line is the City's desire -- the developer does not need the road. Keefer said road access to the pro- posed development can be provided on site; we don't have to involve the neighbor's property, but this is inconsistent with the City Engineer's pro- posed road location. Jim Winiecki said he wants to change the sequences of the two phases of construction - wants the townhouses first, then the road can be discussed to serve the apartment, after the Winiecki property is sold. Keefer said that they want to develop the property now; don't want to wait until Winieckis sell their land; that doesn't seem fair. Keefer said there are many questions that are unresolved -- if we can finance the pro- ject. (if market is right) we may acquire the adjacent property as an additional phase. Keefer said they have a timing problem; need concept approval; noted that the road as proposed is consistent with the City's plan to extend a road to the west. Jeanne Winiecki says she objects to the proposal as shown; objects to the phasing; noted that what we get is an apartment building; the lots will be sold; feels the developer will want more apartments later. after one ~ apartment building is built. .., Lee Roebke said he lives on Highway 10; said that traffic problems do occur in the early morning and late afternoon with traffic to and from the high school and Bethel College; feels these problems need to be addressed; said he had an accident there himself. Roebke said he objects to apartments - wants single family homes similar to homes on east side of Highway 10; feels this area could become a huge apartment complex. Jeanne Winiecki asked how the public will get to the park if the developer puts in a private road. Keefer said they will do whatever the City
