Commissioner Nosan was pleased with the proposed greenspace within the development. <br /> Commissioner Surma understood a number of the units would be slab on grade. He questioned if <br /> these residents would have a safe place to be during inclement weather. <br /> Mr. Bonna appreciated this question and stated a storm shelter option would be offered for these <br /> homeowners. <br /> Chairperson Bauer recommended the community building be constructed with a basement. <br /> Mr. Bonna noted the community building would be quite modest in size and would not serve as a <br /> storm shelter. <br /> The Commission supported this project moving forward. <br /> 5.06: Stone Brook Children's Academy & Daycare Purchase Agreement for OUTLOT B <br /> of COR ONE <br /> Presentation <br /> Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama presented the staff report <br /> stating the purpose of this case is for the Planning Commission to review the attached potential <br /> project site locations; and to provide feedback to the EDA and City Council--as they are <br /> considering a corresponding purchase offer (purchase agreement).
