It was the consensus of the Council that staff should continue to work with the sign style proposed with the ability for the Council to comment on the cost and details. City Engineer Westby noted that item will be bid as an alternate and if the Council is not interested in pursuing the item with the bid cost, the item would not have to be awarded. Councilmember Menth stated that if bids are going to be obtained on the signage, would it be possible to get costs on a pedestrian bridge. City Engineer Westby replied that option was reviewed early in the process and those types of bridges (underpass or overpass) require the purchase of right-of-way from adjoining property along with the construction of improvements and has a cost in the hundreds of thousands. The Council confirmed consensus with pursuing the signage as an alternate bid option. 7.03: Consider Multiple Requests Related to the Preserve at Northfork (Project #19-147); Case of BK Land Development 1.Motion to Adopt Ordinance #20-02 Approving Zoning Amendment from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to R-1 Residential (MUSA) District and R-2 Residential (Detached Villa) District 2.Motion to Adopt Resolution #20-055 Approving Preliminary Plat Deputy City Administrator Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Ordinance #20-02 approving a Zoning Amendment on the subject property from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to R-1 Residential (MUSA) District and R-2 Residential (Detached Villas) District as well as adoption of Resolution #20-055 Approving Preliminary Plat for The Preserve at Northfork (Project #19-147): Case of BK Land Development, contingent upon formal adoption of the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and compliance with the staff review and approval of plans by the City Engineer. Councilmember Heinrich stated that in the past review there were some concerns with roadways and parking related to public safety. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that he believed that has been worked out with 29 foot back to back streets that would require parking restrictions. He stated that if a majority of the Council wants to require 32-foot streets, that could be required, but believed the consensus was to allow the same width as the adjacent Riverstone development which is 29 feet. Mayor LeTourneau confirmed that the previous consensus of the Council was to allow 29-foot streets, which mirrors the adjacent development. Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the roads have been increased to a width of 30 feet in compromise. He clarified that if a road is less than 32 feet in width, parking would be restricted to one side of the road. He stated that while 32-foot width would be preferred, 30 feet would be acceptable.
