5.01: Consider Landscape Plan for Lazy Days RV Site Plan (Project No. 18-126) City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. He stated that Lazy Days RV is in the process of acquiring Shorewood RV, located at 8390 Riverdale Drive NW. As part of the acquisition, the applicant is proposing to replat Outlot A, Alpaca Estates 4th Addition, into a buildable lot and construct a 29,600 square foot, 30 bay maintenance facility for the RV operation. He stated that a Landscape Plan was included with their Site Plan submittal. He recommended that the Board recommend approval of the Landscape Plan, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter. Board Member Moore referenced the darkened line to the south and asked if that is the location of the fence. City Planner Anderson confirmed that line is the proposed privacy fence along the southern border to provide screening to the adjacent residential parcel. Chairperson Valentine asked for additional details on the stormwater pond. City Planner Anderson replied that it is a regional pond designed to accommodate all of the Alpaca Estates 4th Addition development. He stated that engineering will review the stormwater calculations to ensure that the excess runoff from the site could still be handled by the pond. He stated that engineering will also ensure that the infiltration requirements are met by the requested proposal. Motion by Board Member Hiatt and seconded by Board Member Covart to recommend approval of the Landscape Plan, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter. Motion carried.

He stated that Sterling Trophy is working with the City on the potential purchase of the property located at 6710 Highway 10 NW. The applicant has submitted a Site Plan for the construction of a 4,000 square foot retail building for their business operation on the subject property. He noted that the Site Plan submittal includes a Landscape Plan for review. He recommended that the Board recommend approval of the Landscape Plan, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter. Board Member Covart referenced the south side of the lot and asked if there are plans for that open area. City Planner Anderson replied that it is intended to remain vacant at this time. He stated that the applicant is still in discussion with the City regarding a purchase agreement for the property. He noted that at one time the applicant was only interested in a portion of the lot, but it would be difficult to find another user for that remnant and therefore the City would prefer to have that Environmental Policy Board / July 16, 2018 Page 2 of 5
