5.01: Consider Landscape Plan for Suite Living; Case of Hampton Companies City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. He stated that the City has received an application from Hampton Companies for a Site Plan for Suite Living, a proposed 32 unit, assisted living facility located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Jaspar Street and 139th Lane. The Environmental Policy Board may recall reviewing a Sketch Plan earlier this year for Rivenwick 3rd Addition, which was to be a mix of townhomes, commercial and this assisted living facility. This project was shifted east, adjacent to the existing townhome development to the east, to take advantage of the fact that the public road is already in place. He recommended that the Board recommend approval of the proposed Landscape Plan, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter, and to support the requirement for a noise study and any applicable noise mitigation measures. Board Member Hiatt asked if it is becoming common practice to request a noise study for development cases near Highway 10 because of potential improvements on the highway. City Planner Anderson confirmed that would be similar for other residential projects along that corridor. Chairperson Valentine asked for additional details on the noise study, specifically what is used for comparison. City Planner Anderson stated that staff has a baseline to use for comparison purposes. Board Member Fetterley stated that it does not seem there is a lot of room for additional plantings between the building and highway, should that be recommended from the noise study. City Planner Anderson stated that modifications to the plan may be required dependent on the results of the noise study. He noted that berming could help and that would not require a wide strip of land. He noted that a combination of tactics could be used for noise mitigation, if that is necessary. Motion by Board Member Fetterley and seconded by Board Member Hiatt to recommend approval of the proposed Landscape Plan, contingent upon compliance with the Staff Review Letter, and to support the requirement for a noise study and any applicable noise mitigation measures. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Valentine, Board Member Fetterley, Hiatt, Bernard, and Covart. Voting No: None. Absent: Board Member Madison and Moore. 5.02: Consider Landscape Plan for Ramsey Storage Center (Project No. 19-119); Case of Ramsey Storage Center, LLC City Planner Anderson presented the staff report.
