Mayor Kuzma asked about the timeline of getting this project done. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby stated that if they moved forward today, they could <br />get most of the project completed by September, if bids were opened on March 14th. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked how this impacts the sports dome if not moved forward. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby stated that they need the utilities for this site. He <br />stated that something else would need to be done for the utilities and some sort of temporary paving <br />for the street section. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked for clarification that utilities would still be extended without <br />the Ferret Street connection. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby said yes. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen asked City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby to discuss doing <br />this project in two phases to get the project done in a timely manner. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby said this could be an option. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma stated that he likes the idea of working this project in two phases and moving the <br />regional pond to next year. He added he would still like to have time to discuss this with the <br />property owner. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked if he was talking about the southern pond. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma stated that the main issue seems to be with increasing parking. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen stated that some of the push back is related to the parking that should <br />be had at a facility like this versus what was approved. He said that if the applicant were to <br />maximize their parking they would need to benefit from regional stormwater ponding or identify <br />underground storage capacity. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma stated that the regional ponding would be a benefit for the whole area. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hagen explained that three properties would benefit from this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he does not think the regional pond solves the concerns of <br />the property owner as it would only yield an additional 30 spots. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that ARAA said that they would solve their own parking and <br />water ponding. She stated that option 2 gives them water treatment for these properties. She said <br />she was in favor of doing stormwater ponding and going to the cul-de-sac with sewer and water. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / February 28, 2023 <br />Page 6 of 13 <br /> <br />
