II MINUTBS OP THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD MAY 6, 1991 The Planning Commission met on Monday, May 6, 1991. Chairman Kelley called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Commission Members Johnson, Moos, Cohen, Schroeder and Bellows were present. Candace Rowlette was absent. Representing the City were Mark Bernhardson, Public Works Director John Gerhardson, Building and Zoninc Administrator Jeanne Mabusth, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator Mike Gaffron, Public Works Supervisors Jack Brinkhaus and yvayne Quast, and City Recorder Teri Naab. Consultant Jack Brj **man of Boarman & Associates was present also. All those in attendance were given a tour of the City facilities. Mr. Boarman explained that since his fimi was hired in 1988, they have gone through three part process which consisted of the following steps: a space size analysis, community comparisons and a site analysis. It was determined the all departments (excluding public works) would need a building of about 16,000 to 18,000 square feet. Currently, without public works, the buildings total about 8,000, plus approximately S,000 square feet for the police department building. The new facility for public works would be about 28,000 square feet. He explained there are currently 5 sites being considered. C. Steven Wilson, Chairman of the Facilities Committee, presented the Committee's views and recommendation. He noted that the Committee had 18 members, appointed by the Council last year. The Committee met with Mr. Boarman for initial direction, but from there received none from the Council or staff. The Committee first agreed that new facilities were needed. From there they came up with the following criteria: easy access, not in a residential area, not taking residential property, easily directable, municipal utilities and room for expansion. The following sites were considered: Site #1 - Highway 12/Near School. This site meets all the criteria identified by the Committee. It has municipal utilities available, is in a non-residential area, near the schools and possibly a new library, is easily accessible, and has room for expansion. Site #2 - Old sewer plant - Old Crystal Bay Road. The area is exclusively residential with limited access. There was thought on straightening this very narrow, curved roadway which would be quite expensive. The site does not have room for manueverability. There are no municipal facilities. Site #3 - Current site - Crystal Bay. The major problem here is size and there is no expansion room. The site would have to be granted variances to build. The Committee felt that they wanted a common campus for all departments. rtmgrNi—^
