Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that would be a public sidewalk and City <br /> staff would maintain that amenity. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove referenced the decks and stated that she would like more information <br /> on the deck material and safety rating. She stated that the Planning Commission also discussed <br /> the air conditioning units and asked for details. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the proposed material is a common <br /> material used for multi-family buildings. He noted that the permitting would go through the <br /> building permit process and review and was confident that would meet the required design <br /> standards. He provided additional details on the air conditioning units proposed and stated that <br /> staff is working with the developer to better design and screen the units. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that when the land was sold for this development there was <br /> always a plan for phase one and phase two, noting that phase two would not be built unless there <br /> was demand. He noted that the first phase filled quickly and there is now demand for phase two. <br /> He stated that he was pleased with the outcome of the first phase and will support this request. <br /> He noted that the applicant is also not requesting any subsidies. <br /> Matt Kuker, PSD, stated that this is an odd shaped site which created challenges in development. <br /> He referenced the garages along 145th and agreed that it will be nice to incorporate pedestrian <br /> seating and amenities along that stretch of sidewalk. He stated that the decks are powder coated <br /> aluminum which ensures that there will be no rot. He explained that one of the biggest costs for <br /> an apartment after 20 to 30 years is rot of the wood piece under the deck which then needs to be <br /> replaced on all units. He noted that using metal ensures that will not cause a problem in the <br /> future. He described the architectural design of the garages, noting that the overall window <br /> spacing and tuckunders would be similar to Parkview but would be slightly different as Parkview <br /> is under different ownership. He stated that in regard to the dog park he would be open to either <br /> option. He noted that the Planning Commission previously commented that there was too much <br /> parking. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill explained that the recommendation of the Planning <br /> Commission would be to remove nine stalls and expand the size of the dog park. <br /> Mr. Kuker stated that he often drives past Parkview to determine if there is sufficient parking in <br /> order to use for future project calculations. He agreed that he could remove the nine stalls. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would support expanding the dog park and removing <br /> the nine stalls. She asked for details on the swimming pool. <br /> Mr. Kuker replied that there would be a full indoor pool and hot tub and advised that patio doors <br /> would open to the patio area and playground for use by residents. He stated that when the initial <br /> site plan was done there were two buildings shown in the concept and advised that this has <br /> followed the original intent of the concept as much as possible. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau asked for information on demand. <br /> City Council/July 9,2019 <br /> Page 5 of 13 <br />
