This was <br />done in order to allow the applicants additional time to meet with neighboring property owners to <br />the south to negotiate a satisfactory buffer between the ball fields and the neighboring homes and to <br />consider ways to redesign the parent drop off parking lot to make it more user friendly. Ms. Frolik <br />advised that the applicant has now redesigned the south parking lot to make it more user friendly as <br />a parent drop off site and create more opportunity for a deeper buffer area between the athletic <br />fields and the neighbors to the south. She reported that Staff's written comments indicate <br />preference for the original design, but the school prefers the modified design and Staff is agreeable <br />to that. Ms. Frolik explained that the applicant and the architect met with neighboring property <br />owners and representatives of other local youth athletic organizations to review possible <br />modifications to the site plan, and as a result of that meeting, the applicant has relocated the ball <br />fields from the south side to the west side of the school thereby putting more distance between the <br />ball fields and the neighbors to the south. Ms. Frolik advised that the outstanding items yet to be <br />provided on the site plan are: (a) Indications that the outer edge of all bituminous surfaces will be <br />finished with B-612 concrete curbing; (b) A ten foot wide bituminous trail parallel to Nowthen <br />Boulevard N.W., graded trails from the northwest and southwest to the school facility, and <br />handicap accessible trails to the public recreation areas; and (c) Although an area for a proposed <br />sedimentation basin has been identified on the site plan, a grading and drainage plan needs to be <br />provided. Ms. Frolik concluded that City Staff recommends approval with contingencies. <br /> <br />City Engineer Steven Jankowski withdrew his previous objection to the modification of the north <br />access off C.R. #5 from one point of access to a pair of access points. <br /> <br />Brian McCarty, KKE Architects, Inc., advised that the parking lot drainage will be relieved by <br />storm water drainage and catch basins. He added that there will be no more additional drainage on <br />the south side than at present. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/January 3, 1995 <br /> Page 2 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
