PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 24, 1986 PAGE 4 Mrs.Hunt, representing Clareshire Court, questioned how this proposal would impact their sewer systems since they have experienced some problems in their development. Mr. Schaller stated that the problems that he has been aware of in their condominium have been internal, not the problem the Safety of the sewer system. In the Safety Department report of Director the Police Department stated "I believe there will be a problem with this construction as the project proceeds. The section of Country Club east of Great Northern Blvd. was no constructed to match the western section which was installed with the Mall. An adjustment was made by the city to try and correct this problem when I-480 opened. I feel the intersection should be corrected before construction gets too far along. The possible widening of the east side of the intersection to five lanes and the installation of a turn phase with signalization for Country Club should be added." Mr. Carlisle questioned if widening the intersection would be the responsibility the of the developer. Chairman Burns stated that the Way-&r is asking that the Safety Commission put a contingenc3T upon this proposal. Assistant Law Director Director Dubleko advised that resolving this situation would not be a Planning Comraission responsibility, it should be between the administration and the developer-: Commission again discussed the screening. If the screening-is - approved for this building, they could disallow it on the second building. Mr. Carlisle explained that if they used mounding in place of the screen, it could harm the existing trees which are to be saved. -The Commission - agreed with the Architectural Board that this type screening should be considered a landscape feature. R. Bierman moved to approve the Great Northern Business Park proposal for phase I located on the south side of Country Club Blvd, subject to the recommendations of the Architectural Board of Review and also strongly recommend that the administration and the developer look into the traffic situation at Great Northern Blvd. and Country Club as suggested by the Safety Department, and also include the foresters recommendations, seconded by E. Traczyk, and unanimously approved. 7) Biskind Development Co., 4970 Great Northern Mall Parking plan for Great Northern Mall expansion. (Building plans approved March 26, 1986). Mr. Carlisle presented parking plan required with the approval of the mall expansion. Walkway from the strip center to the mall is a raised area with landscaping. Diagonal parking aisles are planned in the area of the mall expansion with only one ring road on the outer periphery of the parking lot will be defined by landscaping. The entire shopping center and mall park- ing lots are being studied and revised and will eventually be presented to the Commi.ssion. Mr. Morgan has no problem with the plan but since there are no acutal number of spaces specified, he requested that the plan be tabled until that information can be submitted. Mr. Carlisle believes that since there is an excess of parking spaces in the mall, this proposal should be acceptable on the basis of improved safety even if it is deter- mined thatthey are loosing spaces. T. Morgan moved to table the parking plan for the Great Northern Mall expansion presented this evening, request- ing that the developer provide the number of proposed parking spaces versus the existing spaces, seconded by J. Brown, and unanimously approved. Chairman Burns announced that Hennie Homes had continued their proposal until the July 22nd meeting.
