Commissioner VanScoy asked if the proposed development was consistent with the districts <br />zoning. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported this was the case. <br />Commissioner Anderson commented this development would be highly visible in downtown and <br />for this reason, had to be visible pleasing as it would be a focal point in the City. He asked if the <br />City had any plans for the proposed park. He indicated he would like to have this park completed <br />along the same timeline as this development. <br />Ryan Dupuis, Inland Group architect, understood the concerns and importance of this project. He <br />agreed this development would be a focal point and a high -quality building was being proposed. <br />He stated he would be bringing elevations for the Commission to review in December. He agreed <br />the public park space adjacent to this development would be valuable to the new residents. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported he would forward this park space onto the <br />Park Commission for consideration in December. <br />Commissioner Nosan asked if these units would be rental. <br />Mr. Dupuis indicated this was the case. <br />Commissioner Nosan questioned how many floors of apartments were being proposed. <br />Mr. Dupuis reported there would be four floors of apartments and one floor (slightly underground) <br />would be used for parking. <br />Commissioner Nosan inquired if this building would be taller than the other buildings within The <br />COR. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained this building would be slightly taller <br />because the parking could not be located fully underground due to water table concerns. He <br />indicated staff would have further information about the building elevations in the coming weeks. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked where the parking garage would be entered. <br />Mr. Dupuis reported reviewed the concept plan with the Commission and noted the location of the <br />entrance to the below grade parking. <br />Commissioner VanScoy inquired if parking ramps were still being considered for The COR. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained the need for parking ramps have evolved <br />over time.
