Discussion amongst the Board.
Lindgren moves to approve DR-43-21, with site specific conditions, #11 provided by staff.
I would like to modify:
Site specific condition #2 that recommends approval of the powder coated black chain -link
fence as proposed for the pickleball courts with a minimum of 6 feet in height.
And then to add on to the site specific condition #12. We would recommend a waiver for the
metal siding application. We feel this is an acceptable application of this product and a very
nice product, so just to recommend a waiver for that.
Site specific condition #13: The dog park, if we can further define the gate and benches and
other amenities that might be located within that area to be reviewed by staff and one
member of the Board.
Site specific condition #14: I think we need some further refinement or clarity. I guess I
would say on the hardscape and landscape surrounding those mailbox clusters, it's just a
little bit hard for me to discern and I am not 100% sure how those are, so if we can get some
clarification on that to be reviewed by staff and one member of Board.
Site specific condition #15: I think what I heard is the recommendation to get lighting at the
pickleball courts, so we'll put that out as a condition and ask that and we provide a revised
plan and a cut sheet of lighting element to be submitted and reviewed by a member of staff
and one member of Board.
Site specific condition #16: Regarding general landscaping surrounding main streets
throughout the development and perimeter berms. If we can take a second look and provide
additional variety of flowering and autumn leave type trees, class two and three, if that is
correct as presented by Member Merrill. I will leave it at that. That's to be reviewed by
staff and one member of the Design Review Board.
Discussion amongst the Commission regarding the motion.
Seconded by Merrill.
City Planner, Emily Gero, provides input regarding the motion.
Lindgren amends his motion to add: Site specific condition #17, if my memory is correct
Page 2 of 4
K:\DESI REV\MINUTES\2021\DR-11-04-21min.doc
and the Board does agree to the tree removal and mitigation as presented by the applicant.
Ken Firmage, the applicant, requests to make a comment regarding the motion.
Amended motion seconded by Merrill.
Merrill asks the applicant if he would like to discuss the lighting at the pickleball court.
Discussion regarding rules of order regarding applicant testimony once a motion has been made.
City Planner, Emily Gero, provides direction regarding the rules of order.
Lindgren withdraws the motion in order to reopen the discussion for Ken Firmage to discuss the
pickleball court lighting.
Ken Firmage, FS One, LLC. Firmage discusses required pickleball court lighting and asks that
lighting not be added to the pickleball court to the easternmost court, as to not disturb neighbors.
Merrill agrees and requests that there be signage for specific hours to restrict pickleball usage
during the dark at the easternmost court.
Lindgren moves to approve application DR-43-21 In addition to the items site specific
condition items 1-11 that staff has provided we propose to amend:
Site specific condition #2 which would recommend approval of a powder coated black
chain -link fence around the pickleball courts at a minimum of 6 feet in height.
Adding site specific condition #12 to recommend a waiver for the use of metal siding on the
building as proposed and presented on the elevations and renderings.
Site specific condition #13 is to provide additional information specific to the dog park, gate
access, gate configuration, benches to be reviewed by staff and one member of the Board.
Site specific condition #14is further clarification on the hardscape and landscape around
the various mailbox clusters further identifying access from parking area, or curbside
areas, to these locations.
Site specific condition #15 is to provide a lighting component at the pickleball courts with a
proposed revised plan and cut sheet identifying the location of the fixtures, the height, and
illumination. That's all pickleball courts with the exception as presented, I think really it's
the far east pickleball court as presented by the applicant.
Site specific condition #16 is to provide greater and more flowering and autumn leaf type
varieties of tree planting along main street and along the berms. I think going from the
smaller trees to more of a class 2 and 3 type along is what the Board would like to see, to be
reviewed by member of staff and one member of the Board.
Site specific condition #17 is to recommend the proposed tree removal mitigation as
presented by the applicant.
Seconded by Merrill. ALL AYES... MOTION CARRIES.
