1 MemberWilke asked for details on traffic generation per unit. The consultant study found 2 2.5 trips/unit/day. A report was made available. 3 4 Russ Rosa, Architect, displayed the civil engineers grading plan for the site. He pointed 5 out retaining walls on the south west corner ranging in height from 1 foot to 12 feet in 6 height. The second (8 feet) retaining wall is between the church parking lot and the new 7 building. Steep slopes along the west side of the building would be planted with native 8 wild materials. A pathway would be constructed adjacent to the west side of the site. On 9 the north west side of the site, the terrain is flat. There is a forested area in this location. 10 Trees would be maintained in this area where possible, and between low path and high 11 path, no trees would be cut. The developer would work with the City to improve the 12 landscape design. 13 14 Mr. Rosa said the new residential building will be 4 to 5 feet higher than the church height. 15 16 Member Cunningham asked if the architect had brought sketches from across the lake. 17 (No material has been prepared for the view from the Central Park band shell). Mr. Rosa 18 illustrated sketches of the views looking at the building from the pathways. Mr. Rosa 19 explained the location of County Road C and the railroad tracks. 20 21 Member Cunningham asked the amount (percentage) of trees that will be removed from 22 the site. Mr. Rosa said less than 50% of the building is taking out trees. 23 24 Aten minute break was taken. 25 26 Public Questions: 27 28 PeggyEgli, 705 Heinel Circle, asked about the dirt path from County Road “C” to the Park 29 (staff is reviewing the need for additional pathway easements). She asked to clarify the 30 affordability of 40% of the units which would be 60% of median income. Is the size/cost 31 of the project directly related to price of the Huberty property. 32 33 The number of units could be lowered, but the price per unit will be higher. 34 35 Joe Smith, 895 Transit, asked why HUD put a moratorium on cooperative financing. 36 Council Member John Goedeke noted that HUD policies will change again very soon. 37 38 How many parking spaces would the Church have? Bob Van Slyke noted 191 spaces for 39 the Church, plus the share housing spaces and underground spaces would be available. 40 The underground parking is limited to residents; parking near the residence would be 41 shared with the Church. 42 43 Russ Rosa clarified parking: 44 45 25-30 shared spaces between the senior building and the Church; 191 spaces for 46 church, with 150 existing spaces. 70+ underground parking spaces below housing. 47 48 Joe Smith asked how fast the Church is growing and what future predictions are. Rev. 49 Vern Rice said that the total membership is 1100 and they are growing at 60 residents per 50 year. The Church parking lot is full on most Sundays. He noted the average spaces to 51 Church goers is 1 space to 1.75 church participants. 52 53 Mr. Smith asked for details of the financing of the low income housing. 54 55 Page3 of 12
