HEAR THE PUBLIC: None.
PERFORMANCE BOND REMINDERS:
Sterling School – We need to get something back to them to set their bond amount. Fincher needs
to look at their Landscape Plan. They have estimated their remaining improvements to be around
$22,000.
Special Education Cooperative on Third – They will need to add to their $2,000 bond.
Meadows Edge – They are looking to reduce their bond. Crowley is looking at this.
OLD BUSINESS:
Gateway Community Center – 1203 Hwy 2 W; parking lot changes. Public Works is waiting for
the storm sewer master plan for the site. They would like to just build what they need for their
current phase. Tabler stated we can work with them on this, but we need the overall plan. This will
be on the agenda for next week.
Glenwood Apartments – Glenwood/Two Mile – Project was conditional approved last week; this is
an update. They have obtained a ROW (Driveway) Permit. Sorensen is waiting for their layout plan.
Their property line is likely to shift five feet further to the south due to our fire code. This will add
more landscaping to this side of the property line, with some impact on their layout on the south side.
343 1st Ave W – formerly the Ivy Building – The have had their concrete poured. Tabler has it
estimated for the 50/50 program but he hasn’t heard back from them. Their fire service line is in,
and their water meter was installed yesterday. Planning is looking for an updated Site Plan. This
will be on the agenda for next week.
1
Frontier Village Apartments – Treeline – Public Works is waiting on their Traffic Impact Study.
Nygren has not received anything on the subdivision yet. They will need to go through DEQ
subdivision review because they will have private mains. This will be on the agenda for next week.
Payne West – 165 Timberwolf; new multi-suite office building to the east of Glacier Eye Clinic, and
NE of D.A. Davidson. Updated civil plans came in. They have extended some parking. This still
needs to go through ARC, which had been tabled previously. Public Works is okay with this project.
This is passed through Site Review.
NEW BUSINESS: None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
3 Three Mile Drive – west of Northern Lights Blvd. There are five parcels in the county. The
southern parcel wants to annex into the City and likely subdivide in the future. Sewer and water are
nearby. Right now they have septic and a well, which they plan to keep. There is a private road
easement going along the western boundary. This is a Family Transfer. They have 2.3 acres and it
will be City zoned R-3.
OTHER REPORTS:
Cere’s Bakery – They will be having a life-sized bike with a lady riding, giving the impression that
they are coming down the awning. The total height is about eight feet and sticking out about four or
five feet. She would be holding a cup of coffee and a loaf of bread. The artist is Kay Lynn who did
many of the other building decorations downtown. Clawson discussed the anchoring and some guy
wires with them. They would need to get approval from MDT. Tabler will talk with Freyholtz about
this. T. Jentz stated they may need to get an encroachment permit from MDT.
FCEDA – T. Jentz stated the proposed Zip Trip by CHS/Cenex has pulled out. Bridgewater has
submitted a Letter of Intent to FCEDA to repurpose the CHS convenience store on Idaho. They
want to take out the gas pumps, put a restaurant in front of the building, put a two-story office in the
middle, and a retail space in the back using the existing building and cleaning up the site. They will
be meeting with FCEDA next week to firm up a sales agreement. Katherine King in Planning will
take care of the Brownfield mitigation on cleaning up the gas tanks as part of the CHS relocation
program. They would like to begin construction by November 1st or sooner.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:20 a.m.
