. . . Planning Commission Minutes August 25, 1992 Page 11 in regards to keeping some of the existing trees, several grading issues, the improvements along the parking lot, etc. Mr. Weber stated that in an effort to unify this site, the developer should coordinate the signage, lighting, exterior materials, landscaping, etc. PATHWAYS Steve Rohlf stated that the Park and Recreation Commission should specifically address this issue in regards to pedestrian use and bike traffic. FEES Mr. Rohlf stated that the developer will be paying for a portion of the signal to be located at Highway 169 and 193rd Avenue. Other fees include seal coating for the proposed streets, park dedication, consultant costs, and trunk sewer and water lines and roads. USES Mr. Rohlf stated that staff is recommending that a site plan review by the Planning Commission is conducted for each individual use within the Planned Unit Development. Mr. Rohlf reiterated the Commission's finding at the time of rezoning that the types of uses in this PUD are important due to its location next to residential properties. Commissioner Eberley stated that she was disappointed that the traffic study was conducted in the summer when the affects of the school traffic could not be felt. Terry Maurer addressed her concern stating that previous traffic counts from as early as 1980, which were done during the school year, were used to determine growth patterns in the area. Therefore, the affect of bus traffic and school traffic in general was considered in the traffic study. Commissioner Eberley stated that her concerns with the entire PUD request were safety issues such as traffic and lighting for parking lots, utilities and storm drainage. At this time, Chairman Nadeau opened the public hearing. Phil Johnson, 19440 Holt Street, representing the Citizens Who Care Committee read a prepared statement to the Planning Commission. Mr. Johnson outlined several of their concerns regarding the proposed request. a. Mr. Johnson was concerned that the City not move too rapidly in reviewing this request, but rather make calculated moves in an effort to make good judgement. b. That the City be given time to digest the traffic study. c. What are some of the socio-economic ramifications of this type of development? For example, will property values be lowered because of the development. d. The affects of the development of the existing retail businesses, the police department, fire protection, and streets. e. The affects of the development on traffic, crime, air and noise pollution.
