Protect the residential character <strong>of</strong> existing neighborhoods by providing fortransitional boundaries between residential, commercial and industrial uses.Compatibility with Neighborhood:The replat proposes to reconfigure three lots into nine lotsranging between 1.29 and 2.92 acres. The Applicantindicates current market demands call for smallercommercial lots than those currently platted. Lot 1 <strong>of</strong> thesubdivision is currently developed with Super 1 Foods.Approval <strong>of</strong> the proposed subdivision will allow theApplicant to proceed with development <strong>of</strong> a multi-familytownhouse-type development on what is proposed as Lot 10<strong>of</strong> the replat.The site is surrounded by a wide variety <strong>of</strong> zones and uses.Platted lots surrounding the property are generally smaller,with unplatted parcels generally larger. At a minimum,development on the lots will be subject to administrativereview through the Site Plan Review process. Theprovisions <strong>of</strong> the Commercial “B” zone require a 0-footfront setback, with a 10-foot setback allowed withprovision <strong>of</strong> a defined civic space and an additional 15 feetpossible through the Conditional Use Permit process.However, those lots that border Boyer Avenue and LarchStreet are subject to a 10-foot required setback for lotsabutting a residential district.There was no response received in response to the PlanningCommission notice to adjoining property owners. Onecomment has been received in response to the <strong>City</strong> Councilnotice indicating opposition to the project because the 50-unit low-income subdivision will create traffic problemsand lower property values. As previously noted, approval<strong>of</strong> the proposed subdivision will allow the Applicant toproceed with development <strong>of</strong> a multi-family townhouse-typedevelopment on what is proposed as Lot 10 <strong>of</strong> the replat.That development would proceed through the administrativesite plan review process and is not a consideration <strong>of</strong> thissubdivision application.Environmentally Sensitive Areas:Historic Building Sites:According to the Applicant, the site has a slope <strong>of</strong> less than5 percent.N/A.7 <strong>Milltown</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Subdivision</strong> <strong>Replat</strong>


Archeological Sites:Traffic and <strong>Park</strong>ing Implications:Access and Street Design:N/A.Any development on the replatted lots will be subject to the<strong>City</strong>’s current parking requirements for the uses proposed.The provisions <strong>of</strong> the Commercial “B” zone prohibit thelocating <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-street parking, driveways, and othervehicular accesses between any buildings and the street.The Public Works Director has noted that a traffic impactanalysis will not be required for this subdivision, but maybe required <strong>of</strong> individual developments within the plat.The development is accessed from Larch Street on the southand Boyer Avenue on the west. The submitted subdivisionplans show extensions <strong>of</strong> Spruce and Chestnut Streets and anunnamed north-south right-<strong>of</strong>-way. As drawn, Spruce wouldextend between Lots 1 and 6 with a portion extending southalong the eastern boundary <strong>of</strong> Lot 1 to provide access toLots 3 and 4. Chestnut Street is being extended to theeastern boundary <strong>of</strong> the development with a hammerheadeasement being provided on Lot 5. The unnamed right-<strong>of</strong>wayextends north between the lots fronting Boyer Avenueand Lot 10 to the northern property line. Future 60-footaccess easements are shown between Chestnut and Spruce,and Spruce and Larch Streets.According to <strong>Sandpoint</strong> <strong>City</strong> Code 10-1-6.A.7, doublefrontage lots are “prohibited except where unusualtopography, a more integrated street plan, or other conditionsmake it undesirable to meet this prohibition.” <strong>Subdivision</strong>sincluding alleys or platted, landscaped common space (25-foot-wide minimum between lots and right-<strong>of</strong>-way) are notconsidered double frontage lots. The PlanningCommission’s approval recommendation indicates thedouble frontage lots will allow for a more integrated streetplan. Their recommended conditions include therequirement that Boyer Avenue be considered the primaryfrontage for Lots 6, 7, 8 and 9.The Public Works Director indicated that Boyer Avenue isslated to be widened, with a future right-<strong>of</strong>-way width <strong>of</strong> 70feet. It appears an additional 5-feet may have been dedicatedto the <strong>City</strong> during the last plat. If the current right-<strong>of</strong>-waywidth is 65 feet, no further right-<strong>of</strong>-way will be required.The entire frontage along Boyer will be required to bewidened to match the cross-section in place adjacent toLot 1. The proposed 60-foot width is acceptable for the new8 <strong>Milltown</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Subdivision</strong> <strong>Replat</strong>


ights-<strong>of</strong>-way within the subdivision. The PlanningCommission has recommended that improvements to BoyerAvenue be triggered by development on adjoining lots.As noted, the plat indicates two future access easements.The Public Works Director is requiring that all new rights<strong>of</strong>-waywithin the subdivision be constructed in accordancewith <strong>City</strong> standards, including curb, gutter, and sidewalk.<strong>Sandpoint</strong> <strong>City</strong> Code 10-1-3.A requires that a developerinstall all street, sidewalk, water, and sewer improvementbefore final plat approval, or enter into an agreement fortheir installation, with the installation to occur no later than 3years from the date <strong>of</strong> final plat approval. TheCommission’s recommendation includes a condition that theinternal road be platted as a complete street with thissubdivision but did not require its improvement.The Public Works Director also noted a 10-foot widebikepath between Larch Street and Boyer Avenue (north <strong>of</strong>Chestnut) is to be dedicated and constructed through thesubdivision. This is in keeping with one <strong>of</strong> the requirements<strong>of</strong> the short plat development agreement. The PlanningCommission’s recommendation includes a requirement forthe platting <strong>of</strong> a dedicated 10 foot wide bike path along theproperty perimeterThe Fire and Police Chief have both indicated a northernaccess and egress point is needed for this development. ThePolice Chief has indicated he agrees with the widening <strong>of</strong>Boyer Avenue and has also recommended the access road tothe east <strong>of</strong> Lot 1 be continued through Lots 4, 5 and 6 toconnect with Chestnut Street. At the Planning Commissionhearing, the Fire Chief noted it is important to have morethan one point <strong>of</strong> access in a development, but the plat meetsFire Code as proposed. The Planning Commission did notinclude a requirement for additional access in theirrecommendation.Neighborhood <strong>Park</strong>land:Stormwater Management:Infrastructure:N/AA stormwater management plan meeting the requirements<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Stormwater Ordinance will be requiredprior to final plat approval.According to the Public Works Director, existing watermains are located in Boyer Avenue and in the utilityeasement formally known as Maple Avenue. New mains to9 <strong>Milltown</strong> <strong>Park</strong> <strong>Subdivision</strong> <strong>Replat</strong>


serve the newly-created lots are to be designed andinstalled when the lots are developed and before roadimprovements are completed. A looped system will berequired.The Public Works Director has indicated the existing sewermain in Boyer Avenue is at or over capacity and the existingsystem serving the south portion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Milltown</strong> property isobsolete. Additional hookups to that main will be notallowed in either location. The <strong>City</strong> has installed a manholeon the north side <strong>of</strong> Larch Street just east <strong>of</strong> Lot 1 which isdeep enough to accommodate flows from the <strong>Milltown</strong>subdivision. Service will be provided to the property fromthis location upon approval <strong>of</strong> engineer main extensiondrawings and payment <strong>of</strong> applicable fees.The Fire Chief has indicated a looped water/hydrant systemshall be installed, with hydrants spacing to be no greaterthen 500 feet apart. Additional International Fire Coderequirements will be addressed during the permit process.Summary:The proposed development is generally in keeping with thezoning and subdivision requirements <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> Code..PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:The Planning Commission considered this in a public hearing on January 3, 2012, with sixmembers in attendance.

Approval <strong>of</strong> Minutes:Commissioner Huisman stated her first sentence under the ACI review is difficult tounderstand. Staff suggested changing the sentence to read, “Commissioner Huismaninquired if the Daycare is expanding and if the Commission is to assess what the impactwill have on <strong>City</strong> services.”Motion:Commissioner Rognstad moved and Commissioner Huisman second to approve theNovember 15, 2011 minutes as amended. Motion passes unanimously.B. PUBLIC HEARING:S11-02 (<strong>Milltown</strong> <strong>Park</strong>)– A request by Whitewater Creek and Renova Partners Groupfor preliminary <strong>Subdivision</strong> approval <strong>of</strong> approximately 26.2 acres into 10 Lots. The site islocated at the northeast corner <strong>of</strong> Larch and Boyer and described as Lots 1-4 <strong>of</strong> <strong>Milltown</strong><strong>Park</strong> <strong>Subdivision</strong> <strong>Replat</strong>, in Section 15, Township 57 North, Range 2 W.B.M. Theproperty is zoned Commercial B.Staff Report:Senior Planner Bramblee explained the property was previously short platted and is nowbefore the Commission for a request <strong>of</strong> subdivision from 4 lots into 9. Bramblee statedthis application is a standalone subdivision and does not include a PUD. Bramblee statedthe Commission will need to look at Lot configuration and how it conforms to <strong>City</strong>standards. Bramblee advised the Commission an issue with the proposed <strong>Subdivision</strong>configuration is the formation <strong>of</strong> double frontage lots. In addition questions <strong>of</strong> road right<strong>of</strong> way dedication and when improvements need to be completed should be considered.Bramblee stated a requirement <strong>of</strong> the Short Plat was a dedication <strong>of</strong> a bike/pedestrianpath through the property and staff feels with the submission <strong>of</strong> this <strong>Subdivision</strong> it isappropriate for the applicant to meet that requirement. She explained the Fire Chief hasindicated he would like to see a northern access road connect to Boyer Avenue. Shestated it may be possible to allow a bike/pedestrian path which could also serve as anemergency access.Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Commissioner Huisman clarified where the Bike/Pedestrian path is proposed on thedrawings. Bramblee stated it is unclear if the path is shown on Railroad property or theapplicant’s property. Commissioner Huisman inquired why the proposed future road isjogged. Bramblee stated the Public Works Director has stated he would prefer the roadbe dedicated on the plat even if the Commission allows the completion at a later date.Commissioner Huisman verified the current zoning <strong>of</strong> the property is Commercial B andadjoining property to the west is zoned residential.Commissioner Rognstad inquired if there are open space requirements for <strong>Subdivision</strong>Applications or the Commercial B zone. Bramblee stated no, but parking lot landscaperequirements may be triggered by development.Commissioner Qualls clarified the subdivision code requires one street tree every 25 feet.Bramblee stated condition number 19 <strong>of</strong> the staff report should read one tree every 25feet not one per lot. She stated the Commission can require the trees as a condition <strong>of</strong> theproposed <strong>Subdivision</strong> or allow the condition to be implemented upon development <strong>of</strong>each lot.Commissioner Fragoso inquired if the bike/pedestrian path is on RR right <strong>of</strong> way.Bramblee stated it is not clear by looking at the drawing.Grimm added the Commission can determine if it wants to require the future road to bededicated or allow to be shown as future with no dedication. Grimm stated the currentdrawings show an access to be adjacent to the Super 1 entrance <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Larch. Grimmstated the concern would be two joining egresses. He stated the Public Works Director isavailable for comment and probably will not like the idea <strong>of</strong> two adjacent entrances.Grimm stated an alternative would be to have the applicant work with Super 1 or haveMaple loop and connect.Commissioner Rognstad inquired if Maple is a functioning two way right <strong>of</strong> way that justdead ends. Grimm stated Maple is just a stub with a width <strong>of</strong> 40 feet. CommissionerRognstad clarified Maple as built now could not handle two way traffic and sidewalks.Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commercial zone has a minimum lot size. Brambleestated there is no minimum lot size for the Commercial zones. Bramblee explained toChairman Herrera that Lots 7,8, and 9 currently are proposed as double frontage Lots,with Lots 5,6 and 1 proposed to be in the future. She explained the Commission willneed to find there is a reason to allow for since the subdivision code discourages them.Applicants Presentation:Mr. Todd Prescott spoke as the applicant. Mr. Prescott stated he has a 50 unit townhomeproject funded for Lot 10. Prescott stated he has worked with the owners <strong>of</strong> the propertyand part <strong>of</strong> the deal for purchase is to take the least desirable Lot; Lot 10 and bring thesubdivision forward. Prescott stated the 50 unit residential complex is the driver for thisapplication. Prescott stated the proposal is to complete the subdivision in phases. Hestated for the development <strong>of</strong> Lot 10, he would put in the proposed Chestnut and whatwould be the future Sixth Ave from proposed Chestnut to the RR. Prescott stated hePage 2 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


would like to have the future widening <strong>of</strong> Boyer connected to the development <strong>of</strong> Lots 6,7, 8 and 9.Prescott stated the sewer will be brought in from Larch and would like to propose theSouth end <strong>of</strong> Sixth Avenue and then develop as the Lots sell. Prescott stated there is noway <strong>of</strong> knowing how the Lots will develop. Prescott stated once the users are knownthen the Lot lines can be adjusted and the infrastructure developed. Prescott stated 5 or 6years ago it would have been simple to come in and post a bond for the improvements,but with the economic situation it is hard to post a completion bond for even $100,000 <strong>of</strong><strong>of</strong>f site infrastructure.Prescott stated the construction <strong>of</strong> the 50 unit residential complex is conditioned on thissubdivision approval. He stated if would be difficult if the <strong>City</strong> said tied all the <strong>of</strong>f siteimprovements to this one development.Prescott stated storm water and drainage would be as required by the <strong>City</strong>. Prescottstated he does not have the history regarding the bike path, but believes at one time theowner <strong>of</strong> <strong>Milltown</strong> was seeking a 10 foot dedication from the RR for a bike/pedestrianpath but does not have all the information. Prescott stated with the Lot he is developinghas no problem giving a 10 foot easement if approval cannot be gained from the RR.Questions for applicant:Commissioner Rognstad inquired if the applicant has a preference if the path comesthrough the center <strong>of</strong> the development rather than the perimeter. Prescott stated one side<strong>of</strong> the future Sixth Avenue may be able to use one side as a bike path. CommissionerRognstad clarified there is currently no dedication from the RR.Commissioner Rognstad inquired if the applicant would be opposed with providing abike/pedestrian path with emergency access along the north side <strong>of</strong> Lot 9. Prescott statedhe would not be opposed, but would have to consult with the owner.Commissioner Rognstad inquired what the time frame is for the phasing. Prescott statedthe residential units would be completed within 12 months. Commissioner Rognstadinquired if the applicant would be agreeable to a time restriction <strong>of</strong> 5 years forcompleting the infrastructure for the subdivision. Prescott stated a time limit onimprovements would be difficult and require a bond which with today’s market would bedifficult. Prescott stated moving through the process and having the subdivision pay forits own improvements is the way to proceed.Commissioner Rognstad inquired how the applicant would feel about an open spacerequirement in the development. Prescott stated he would have to consult with theowners but the answer would probably be no without knowing the future buyers.Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave inquired how the applicant envisions the subdivisiondeveloping. Prescott stated he imagines the Boyer Lots will develop withcommercial/retail and Whitewater Corporation, based on how the residential complexdoes is prepared to do a commercial with residential development on the eastern lots.Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Commissioner Huisman inquired a bike/pedestrian path on the future Sixth Ave to theback <strong>of</strong> Super 1 could be developed. Commissioner Huisman stated the path would givethe residents <strong>of</strong> Lot 10 access to the grocery store without using autos. Prescott statedeither way the sewer line will be brought to Lot 10, so the result could be a compactedgravel surface.Commissioner Qualls clarified a time limit on completion <strong>of</strong> the bike path would not beviewed favorably by the applicant. Prescott stated the applicant will be approachingSURA for funds to complete infrastructure, he stated if the Commission requests, he canask for funds to complete the bike path.Commissioner Fragoso stated she would like to see the bike path at the perimeter <strong>of</strong> theproperty to add connectivity to the Dover path. She stated she would like to make surethere is at least some compact surface along the proposed future Sixth to allow for a path.Chairman Herrera clarified the applicant is requesting a replatting <strong>of</strong> 4 Lots into 10 Lotsfor the purpose <strong>of</strong> developing Lot 10. Chairman Herrera inquired if Lot 10 is the leastdesirable, then what will the development end <strong>of</strong> looking like and how will it becomedesirable. Prescott stated he would rather have Lot 6 or 7,8, or 9 but those Lots arehigher dollar value. Chairman Herrera inquired if Prescott feels the development will besuccessful. Prescott stated he does multifamily and stated he knows the market very welland the residential complex will be successful.Chairman Herrera inquired how the access <strong>of</strong> the future Sixth Avenue <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Larch willbe addressed. Prescott stated as the other Lots develop, Super 1 will need to be indiscussions and how those lots develop will drive how the access is developed.Chairman Herrera inquired if the future Sixth Avenue connection to Chestnut seemsnecessary. Prescott stated the sewer lines have to be brought in through the property <strong>of</strong>fLarch.Mr. Raphael Barta spoke as representative <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Milltown</strong> property. He stated theowners are supportive <strong>of</strong> the project and the development. Barta stated the residentialdevelopment will provide many short and long term benefits for the community includingjobs, tax base and most importantly affordable housing close to downtown.Barta stated providing infrastructure for all lots would be cost prohibited and the streetconfiguration needs to be flexible for future development <strong>of</strong> the Lots. Barta stated Lots2,3 and 4 could become a conference center, theater, bowling alley or ice skating rink.He stated those uses could perhaps effect the lot lines as proposed. He stated the ownerdoes not want to build the physical road until the actual users are known. Barta statedWhitewater is paying a high price for residential development and could not pay a forprime commercial property which are Lots 6,7,8 and 9.Barta stated he has spoke with Union Pacific and the RR has finally deemed the tracks assurplus. However, the RR has not agreed to give any land so the bike path can becompleted which is the ultimate goal.Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Commissioner Qualls inquired if the owner will commit to a time frame for completion<strong>of</strong> the bike path. Barta stated if they had the property from the RR they would start thebike path tomorrow. However the owners would not like to see a required completiondate on a recorded document. Barta stated the owner is willing to cooperate and do atemporary bike/pedestrian path through the property, but do not want to have acommitment on title for roads and paths.Commissioner Huisman inquired if an emergency access through Lot 9 could be abike/pedestrian path. Barta stated ultimately the bike path is not just on this site, thevision has always been to connect to the Fifth Avenue corridor and along Boyer Avenue.Commissioner Huisman stated she would like to see a safe alternative until that futureland is acquired, which would get bikes and pedestrians from Larch to the RR trackswithout going along Boyer Avenue. Barta stated he would put a hard path in and workwith the fire chief and make sure the access conforms.Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave inquired why the owner is so agreeable to accommodateCommissioner Huisman when she does not live near there and just does not want to ridealong Boyer Avenue. Mr. Barta stated the owner agreed a bike path would go throughthe property somewhere as development occurred. Commissioner Hyde-Bordenaveexpressed an issue with producing a bike path and then just blocking it when constructionoccurs.Staff Comments:Grimm advised the Commission this is an issue <strong>of</strong> letting <strong>of</strong> the horse out <strong>of</strong> the barn. Hestated the cold hard reality is that once this subdivision is approved it is very difficult forthe <strong>City</strong> to get roads and easements recorded. Grimm explained if this application isapproved the rest <strong>of</strong> the Lots can all develop even if Lot 10 does not. Grimm stated thepathway is not discretionary but a requirement. Grimm stated if development occurs andthe path or roads are not platted, then it is difficult for the <strong>City</strong> to get those dedicationslater from several different owners. Grimm stated there is more flexibility for thedeveloper to come in with a request to Vacate or Lot line adjustment.Commissioner Huisman stated it is difficult to see what the traffic needs will be withoutknowing how the Lots will be developed. Bramblee stated the Commission can conditionfinal rights <strong>of</strong> way be determined before final plat approval.Commissioner Rognstad clarified Chestnut and the future Sixth Avenue will bedeveloped as full streets.Grimm stated the Commission cannot condition additional open space unless there isfindings <strong>of</strong> fact this subdivision will have an extraordinary impact on parks that impactfees do not cover.Grimm stated the Commission must look at the plat as it is proposed and not considerspecific future development as there is no guarantee any discussed development mayoccur.Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Bramblee advised the Commission it has the option to require a 25 foot landscape areaalong the proposed double frontage Lots to mitigate the design <strong>of</strong> double frontages. TheCommission discussed double frontage Lots and possible development options and trafficflows.Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave inquired if Maple Street can be a possible access for thedevelopment and if any traffic studies have been completed. Public Works DirectorKody Van Dyk stated the only traffic studies completed where done as part <strong>of</strong> the UrbanArea <strong>of</strong> Transportation in 2006 and the <strong>Milltown</strong> site was assumed to be fully developed.Van Dyk stated he would like Boyer Avenue to be widened. Van Dyk stated Maple is anunapproved road way which a part was vacated. He stated his preference would be tocombine the driveway <strong>of</strong> Super1 with Sixth Ave and have Sixth Avenue continue throughthe project. Van Dyk stated he would not allow the driveway for Super1 and anotheraccess road to be adjacent to each other. He stated it would be a 120 feet wide accessonto Larch and would not allow work.Van Dyk stated Maple could be an improved access for traffic, but not pedestrianimprovements because it is not wide enough. Van Dyk stated his preference would be tohave the <strong>Milltown</strong> developers work with Super1 to combine the access with the newSixth Avenue road. He stated another thought would be to close the Super 1 access andhave one entrance into the complex further north. Van Dyk stated Maple Street wouldnot be a viable option.Van Dyk advised the Commission he would prefer the future Sixth Avenue be plattedfrom Larch to Chestnut at this time. He stated the <strong>City</strong> cannot go backwards and get theright <strong>of</strong> way again, in addition it would allow a bike path on one side <strong>of</strong> the street throughthe site now. In the event the RR land is acquired the path can be moved. Van Dykstated the access through Lot 9 can be an easement. Van Dyk stated he can work with thedeveloper to defer improvements, but it is important the Development Agreement bevetted with the <strong>City</strong> Attorney to ensure infrastructure improvements are completed in thefuture. Van Dyk stated he would prefer the widening <strong>of</strong> Boyer Avenue happen at thesame time for Lots 7,8 and 9. He stated development <strong>of</strong> Lot 6 will trigger the remainingwidening.Chairman Herrera stated it is clear the Commission can require platted right <strong>of</strong> way buthow does the bike path correspond. Van Dyk stated requiring the developer to plat SixthAvenue will guarantee the bike path because the sewer has to go in for development <strong>of</strong>Lot 10. Van Dyk stated it would be only temporary until a full street is developed, butthe Commission can require a hard surface.Van Dyk stated water, sewer, storm water, pathway and street drawings will have to besubmitted and approved by his department.Commissioner Fragoso inquired if Van Dyk would prefer the double frontage lots beaccessed through Boyer or Sixth Avenue. Van Dyk stated for traffic purposes accesswould be better <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Sixth. He stated with the widening, it may not be much <strong>of</strong> aproblem but would be better <strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> Sixth.Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Chief Tyler stated his reason for bringing up access on the North through Lot 9 is because<strong>of</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> access getting into a development in an emergency. It is important to havemore than one point <strong>of</strong> access into the development. Tyler stated not counting any otherdevelopment there is at least 100 cars coming out <strong>of</strong> the development automatically, withthe development <strong>of</strong> Lot 10 as residential, and there needs to be another access. Tylerstated he does not necessarily want to create a hardship for the developer <strong>of</strong> Lot 10, butwhen Lots 6,7 or 8 are developed, having access through Lot 9 will help with trafficcirculation.Chief Tyler stated the <strong>City</strong> needs to be negotiating with the RR to get the bike paththrough the RR property.Commissioner Qualls inquired if the Chief would like to see a fire access easement or afull road through Lot 9. Tyler stated the amount <strong>of</strong> traffic should warrant a full road. Hestated he could not require it because the plat as proposed meets fire code. Chief Tylerstated in the case <strong>of</strong> emergency the trucks would not use an emergency access throughLot 9 but just use Chestnut Street.Chairman Herrera opened the public hearingPublic Comment: NoneApplicant’s Rebuttal:Commissioner Rognstad inquired if the applicant would oppose a requirement for a 25foot landscape buffer to the rear or east <strong>of</strong> lot 6 or the east <strong>of</strong> Lots 7 and 8.Commissioner Rognstad inquired if the applicant would oppose a condition to plat theextended Sixth Avenue from Larch to the RR tracks and down to Boyer Avenue throughLot 9 with a multi model path on one side and sidewalk on the other. CommissionerQualls inquired if the path would be temporary. Commissioner Rognstad stated he doesnot see why it would need to be temporary, if the bike/pedestrian path along the RRhappened this path would another connecting path.Commissioner Rognstad inquired if the applicant would oppose a condition requiring thewidening <strong>of</strong> Boyer Avenue frontage to be completed upon the start <strong>of</strong> development ineither Lot 7,8,9. Barta stated it seems reasonable. He stated it would depend on howaccess occurs and would not like to see three separate accesses, but would like to see allthe Lots developed as a whole.Barta inquired what <strong>City</strong> Code would require regarding the 25 foot buffer.Commissioner Rognstad stated the buffer is a tool <strong>of</strong>fered in <strong>City</strong> Code to mitigate thedesign <strong>of</strong> double frontage. Barta stated it is a reasonable request but would need todiscuss it with the owners. Commissioner Rognstad stated he would only condition the25 foot buffer on Lot 6 or 7 and 8. Grimm stated if the commission finds thearrangement is not beneficial it is a finding and the applicant can bring back anotherproposal.Commissioner Fragoso expressed concern regarding having only one access point outChestnut. She inquired if the developer would dedicate and complete Sixth Avenue toPage 7 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


the North end <strong>of</strong> the project. Prescott stated the subdivision meets the fire code per thefire chief. Prescott stated currently the <strong>City</strong> uses Lots 2,3 and 4 for snow removal and itis always open in the winter and emergency vehicles will not have an issue getting intothe development. Commissioner Fragoso stated just the numbers in vehicles leaving thefuture development will be great and is concerned regarding all traffic accessing oneroad. Van Dyk stated the one access will handle the traffic.Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commission can require the road be developed up front.Grimm stated the Commission can require platting and infrastructure.Commissioner Qualls inquired the need to widen Boyer Avenue. Van Dyk stated it wascalled in the transportation plan to widen Boyer to a two lane road with center turn lane.He stated it will continue the improvements Super1 completed.Commissioner Qualls inquired if the applicant will negotiate access <strong>of</strong>f Larch withSuper1 and the Public Works department upon development <strong>of</strong> Lots 2-6 and to developthe right <strong>of</strong> way between Larch and Chestnut. Barta stated he can not commit for a thirdparty. Barta stated Super1 in good faith bought a Lot and built out the entireinfrastructure as if there will be no cooperation in the future. Barta stated the owner willnot pave or pre build infrastructure from Chestnut to Larch without knowing what isgoing in on Lots 2,3,4 and 6. Barta stated they will plat it, and do not oppose the bikepath.Commissioner Qualls inquired if the owner would be willing to commit to the plat asproposed and working with Super1 to connect Sixth Avenue. Barta stated a DevelopmentAgreement is a promise and is an agreement the work will be done. Barta stated the <strong>City</strong>will have always gotten the bike path because it was agreed. Commissioner Qualls statedthe confusion is over the word future as designated for the future right <strong>of</strong> way. Grimmstated what is depicted is a bike path on land the owner does not control, and thedevelopment agreement states there will be a bike path dedicated through the property.Grimm stated since the property is now going to be subdivided it is the best time to getthe bike path dedicated. Grimm stated he believes the owners are not objecting to theplatting <strong>of</strong> the Sixth Street right <strong>of</strong> way with an easement for a bike path.The Commission discussed issues <strong>of</strong> platting verses developing infrastructure and howand where the bike path will be developed.Prescott reiterated the applicant is prepared to dedicate the right <strong>of</strong> way as shown. Inaddition when Lots 2, 3,4 or 6 are developed they will build the infrastructure for theextension <strong>of</strong> Sixth Avenue. He stated the applicant will also provide an all weathersurface for a bike path over the sewer easement which will follow the future SixthAvenue to Chestnut to be used until a complete Sixth Avenue is built.Commissioner Qualls clarified development <strong>of</strong> Lot 6 would trigger improvements alongBoyer Avenue. Barta stated he would be agreeable to a condition which stipulates once amajority <strong>of</strong> Lots along Boyer Avenue are developed the widening and improvementsalong Boyer Avenue would be required.Page 8 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Commissioner Qualls inquired who bears the burden <strong>of</strong> supplying the infrastructure forthe subdivision. Barta stated the developer <strong>of</strong> the Lots will bear the burden. Grimmargued the applicant is responsible for providing infrastructure improvements required by<strong>City</strong> Code. Grimm stated there are mechanisms to defer, although it is an administrativeburden for <strong>City</strong> staff.Commissioner Qualls inquired if the applicant is willing to dedicate an access throughLot 9 for emergency access. Barta stated there are a lot <strong>of</strong> discussion points which wouldneed to be engineered and he would rather discuss these points with the Public WorksDirector and see where a road may or may not be needed.Barta stated it is inconceivable a building permit would be allowed on any <strong>of</strong> the Lotswithout the frontage improvements being required.Chairman Herrera closed the public hearingDiscussion:Chairman Herrera stated he would like to take each issue as noted and discuss to try andreach consensus.Require an additional access to Boyer through Lot 9:Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave stated she would like an emergency access easement tobe a requirement.Commissioner Rognstad stated he would like a dedicated right <strong>of</strong> way.Commissioner Huisman stated she is concerned about how wide the access road wouldhave to be. Grimm stated 26 feet wide would be fire code for emergency vehicles, butthe question is whether a wider multi use path with ballads would suffice.The Commission agreed Chief Tyler stated he would not use that access for emergencypurposes, but thought a full road would be needed for additional vehicle traffic. Van Dykanswered a full road for only traffic with no pedestrian or bike amenities would need tobe 26 feet. The Commission discussed the amount <strong>of</strong> land which would be required foran access onto Boyer.Grimm clarified the Commission can recommend a pathway or access road and notdesign the road.Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave stated her comments are not valid if the Commission isnow discussing two- way traffic. Chairman Herrera stated it is a valid point fordiscussion.Commissioner Qualls stated he thinks it would be advantageous to have an access pointinto the development.Commissioner Fragoso stated she is not concerned about the width but knowing the RRtracks are never going away, the benefit to having a path is great.Grimm stated the applicant is willing to provide a ten foot bike path in this location.Chairman Herrera inquired if the applicant should provide emergency access onto Boyerfrom extended Sixth Avenue:Commissioner Fragoso: NoCommissioner Qualls: NoCommissioner Huisman: NoCommissioner Rognstad NoPage 9 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave: NoThe Commission agreed unanimously the applicant does not need to provideemergency access from Lot 9 onto Boyer.Chairman Herrera inquired if the applicant should dedicate a road for two-way trafficonto Boyer Avenue from Lot 9:The Commission unanimously agreed the applicant not be required to dedicate aroad through Lot 9 for two way traffic.Chairman Herrera inquired if the applicant should provide a 10 foot bike path to beplatted along the north and east side property line?Commissioner Huisman inquired if this would be in addition to the bike path expectedwith the development <strong>of</strong> Sixth Avenue. Chairman Herrera stated potentially because theapplicant can ask for Vacations based on development. Chairman Herrera reminded theCommission the applicant has already assented to providing a temporary path over thesewer and future road dedication.Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave: YesCommissioner Huisman: YesCommissioner Rognstad: YesCommissioner Qualls: YesCommissioner Fragoso: YesChairman Herrera: YesGrimm suggested the Commission allow for some flexibility and allow the dedication <strong>of</strong>the bike path to be determined by final plat.Commissioner Fragoso stated from a pedestrian traffic flow standpoint, if the Dover Pathgets to connect to the back side <strong>of</strong> the property through the north and east, a person is out<strong>of</strong> traffic flow and it is more <strong>of</strong> a recreational path. She stated the temporary path andfuture bike path along the future Sixth Street is more for getting to whatever businessesmay develop. They are two different uses and both are valid for continuity.Commissioner Rognstad stated the applicant has already agreed to dedicate a 10 foot bikepath along the perimeter and will already have to provide a full dedicate street within thedevelopment with sidewalks and the Commission is just saying that one side will bemulti-model. Commissioner Rognstad stated there is nothing being added theCommission is just simply agreeing with the applicant.The Commission unanimously agreed to require a platted dedicated 10 foot widebike path along the property perimeter to the north and east.Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commission should require the widening <strong>of</strong> BoyerAvenue on the development <strong>of</strong> 3 <strong>of</strong> the 4 Lots fronting Boyer Avenue.The Commission unanimously agreed.Van Dyk stated he is fine with the concept but not sure how in reality that would happen.He stated thinking it through there would probably have to be Development AgreementsPage 10 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


with each developer <strong>of</strong> those lots until the 3 one triggers the Boyer Avenueimprovements.Commissioner Hyde suggested leaving Lot 6 as stand alone and require when two <strong>of</strong> Lots7,8 and 9 are developed to trigger those improvements.The Commission unanimously agreed to have the improvements <strong>of</strong> Boyer Avenuetriggered for Lot 6 upon development <strong>of</strong> Lot 6 and trigger improvements for BoyerAvenue along Lots 7,8 and 9 when two <strong>of</strong> those Lots are developed.Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commission should require a 25 foot buffer along theEast side <strong>of</strong> Lots 7, 8, and 9.Commissioner Qualls stated he is comfortable with the Zoning Code which allows civicspaces upon development. Commissioner Qualls stated he is comfortable with the waycondition 18 is written.Grimm stated the Zoning also requires parking not be between primary building andstreet. He stated if Lot 7 wants to call Sixth Avenue the primary façade, there is nothingto stop Lot 8 from making Boyer the primary façade and getting a mismatch <strong>of</strong>streetscape.Commissioner Huisman agreed it would be desirable and pedestrian friendly to have allthe storefronts facing the same street.Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commission can stipulate that Boyer Avenue is theprimary frontage for Lots 7, 8 and 9. Grimm stated the Commission can condition theprimary frontage.The Commission discussed design and atheistic issues dealing with residential on bothsides <strong>of</strong> the Lots 7, 8, and 9.Grimm stated if the Commission stipulates Boyer Avenue as the primary frontage forthose three lots, both sides should be protected by virtue <strong>of</strong> the parking lot landscapingbuffer and the uniform streetscape along Boyer Avenue.Commissioner Fragoso stated her concern is that Sixth Avenue will become the morepopulated area if the commercial lots develop as hoped.Commissioner Qualls stated he is concerned with how the double frontage lots will meetthe design standards for the commercial code. Grimm stated the code does notcontemplate double frontage lots.Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commission should require a condition whichdesignates North Boyer Avenue as the primary frontage for Lots 7,8 and 9.The Commission unanimously agreed to condition North Boyer as primary frontagefor Lots 7, 8, and 9.Page 11 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012


Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commission should require platting and dedication <strong>of</strong>Sixth Avenue from Larch to Chestnut.Commissioner Fragoso inquired if Super1 allows the road to proceed on its property, thenhow does that impact the dedication. Grimm stated the cooperation will not impact alarge portion <strong>of</strong> the street and the street will probably never be straight.The Commission unanimously agreed Sixth Avenue should be platted and dedicatedfrom Larch to Chestnut as a complete street.Grimm suggested the Commission make a condition the applicant work with adjacentproperty owners and the Public Works Department prior to final plat to work on analternative arrangement for entrance onto Larch.The Commission unanimously agreed to condition the applicant work with theadjacent property owners and the Public Works Department prior to final plat towork on an alternative arrangement for entrance onto Larch.Chairman Herrera inquired if the Commission should condition Boyer Avenue as primaryfrontage for Lot 6.The Commission unanimously agreed the primary frontage for Lot 6 will be BoyerAvenue.Commissioner Fragoso inquired if Spruce Street will be constructed as a full street withstreet trees required. Grimm stated when the street is constructed, trees will be requiredas part <strong>of</strong> the streetscape.Grimm stated the Commission could strike condition 19 as the issue has been discussedand the streetscape code will require one tree for every 25 feet.The Commission agreed to unanimously strike condition #19.Commissioner Hyde-Bordenave stated the Commission has done a good job making surerequirements are met and the project adheres to the Comprehensive Plan and <strong>City</strong> code.She commended Whitewater for starting the ball rolling. Commissioner Hyde-Bordenavestated she feels the Commission has been fair to the developers and the <strong>City</strong>.Commissioner Rognstad agreed stating the subdivision is a great plan and efficient use <strong>of</strong>land. Commissioner Rognstad stated the dedication towards multi model and alternativeplans <strong>of</strong> transportation are evident.Commissioner Huisman also commended Whitewater for bringing housing to the CA-5zone. Commissioner Huisman stated the Comprehensive Plan discourages thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> non through streets and thinks the Commission has done this by gettingthe dedication <strong>of</strong> Sixth Avenue on the plat.Commissioner Qualls thanked the applicants. He stated he is excited to see thedevelopment on Lot 10. Commissioner Qualls stated subdividing the lots is definitely inPage 12 <strong>of</strong> 15 <strong>Sandpoint</strong> Planning Commission Minutes January 3, 2012
