The special meeting was called by Chairman Clark at the request of J. B.
Bishop so that the Committee could consider the Main Street Project. Mr.
Bishop made a presentation of his planned retail center which represents an
expansion of an earlier approved plan. The Planning Commission was scheduled
to act on the issue on April 2, 1985. The plan involves a conceptual approval
of a planned development as well as a sensitive lands application. The
proposed prime tenant is Costco, a wholesale oompany. Cmwtouo' w building in
estimated at 113,000 square feet' 270 feet wide and 410 feet deep. It will be
a concrete tilt—up building, 28.6 ft. in height with a raked finish, fully
painted and landscaped.
The project will involve the improvement of Ash Avenue as well as buffering
and screening between the project and residential neighbors . The developer
earlier has participated in a traffic signal as part of his public improvement
obligation. A new signalized light will also be installed.
Mr. Bishop explained that a ten foot setback will be left between his property
and land owned by Ken Allison, which is now used for apartments. He stated
that excavation on site will result in the Allison apartments being at an
elevation above the Bishop buildings.
Bruce explained that the Committee has the power to be a voice for economic
development. He recommended that the Committee submit a favorable
recommendation to the Planning Commission. Amo stated that the project would
create jobs and increase the tax base.
The four members present who reviewed the plan decided not to take a position
on the zoning issue. They did feel that the proposal is in the best interests
of the City and fits into the Central Business District plan.
The Committee supports the project stating that the downtown needs a
significant shot in the ann.
Bill was asked to prepare a letter to the Planning Commission stating the
Committee opinion.
