Memo to Planning Commission Page 4 February 28, 1995 ID Please refer to the attached memo from the Fire Chief for further information. Pedestrian Circulation - The Park and Rec Commission has identified a trail corridor extending from the residential area immediately to the north to the high school. This trail was originally planned to follow the west side of the pond and connect up with the sidewalk around the high school. With the construction of the parking area, it may be very difficult to include a trail between the parking area and existing pond. Therefore, it has been recommend that a small segment of trail be provided at the northeast corner of the parking area that can eventually be extended north into the residential area. This small segment of trail will at least give pedestrians the opportunity to move from the residential area to the parking area and then proceed on to the nearest sidewalk. A complete presentation of the proposed ice arena will be made by the architects at Tuesday's meeting. Recommendation It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the IIconditional use permit to allow the construction of a new ice arena and associated parking lot with the following conditions: 1. Comments stated by the City Engineer be incorporated into the final set of plans. 2. New parking area be constructed with a bituminous surface and bounded with concrete curb and gutter. 3. A drainage plan be approved by the city engineer prior to construction. 4. A new fire hydrant be provided on-site in accordance with the recommendation from the fire chief. In addition, consideration will be given to extending the water main north to connect with the residential area. 5. Additional landscaping be provided along the north property line to maximize the screening between the ice arena and residential neighborhood to the north. • s:planning:pc:cu95-03
