Planning Commission Minutes August 8, 2006 Page 8 Ray Kinghorn, representing Kinghorn Construction -Stated that they concur with all of staff's recommendation with the exception of the request for the public right-of-way or easement for street, utility and drainage across the property from east to west at the 186th Avenue alignment in Riverplace. The church would like to reserve that property for future use, in the event 186th Avenue is not extended. He stated that they would like to wait on this issue and that they would be willing to provide the road easement if it is required in the future. Mr. Kinghorn stated that the City could ensure that this would happen through the building permit process, in the event an expansion was proposed. Mr. Kinghorn further explained that the details of all other issues referenced in the City Engineer's memo have since been worked out with him. Mr. Kinghorn stated that the church is reluctant to grant the easement, since they are currently considering purchasing additional adjacent land to add to their campus. In the event the adjacent property is not purchased and is developed as residential, they would be willing to grant the easement. There being no further public comment, Chair Lemke closed the public hearing. Commissioner Offerman stated that he did not see the concrete edging addressed in staff's recommendations, or the City Engineer's memo. He suggested revising staff's recommendations as follows: Item 5. Lighting Plan, amend 5.a. to specify no more than 1/ foot candle rather that no light; strike 5.b., and 5.c. -strike the word "shoebox" and substitute the word "cutoff". Mr. Barnhart stated that staff would like to see the requirement for the easement remain in the conditions of approval. Commissioner Westgaard stated he supported Commissioner Offerman's suggestions and also would like the easement to be required. He stated he had no other issues with the request. Commissioner Anderson concurred with Commissioners Offerman and Westgaard. He suggested that staff's recommendation for the curbing on the north end of the north parking lot be included as Condition #6. He agreed that the right-of-way should be acquired now, since it could be difficult to obtain later. Also, a Condition #7 be added to specify the right- of-way or easement be required at this time.
