3. CONSIDER ORDIANCE XXX: AMENDMENT TO THE CHILDREN'S LEARNING
ADVENTURE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)
Eric Maass, Community Development Director, reviewed the proposed ordinance amendment
for the Children's Learning Adventure Plan. He explained the development limitations beyond
PUD, the setback from West 781h Street, Galpin Boulevard, and the west perimeter lot line.
Chair Noyes asked if the city purchases the property, and how the economics would work.
Mr. Maass answered that the city could purchase an easement for stormwater, or they could
condemn it by the land and utilize it for stormwater.
Chair Noyes asked if there was any other potential development that could use stormwater runoff
capacity.
Mr. Maass responded that they consider regional stormwater ponds and the location for them. He
provided an example of one current regional stormwater pond. He stated that this site is not an
opportunity for regional stormwater.
Commissioner Goff asked about the theory behind number ten of the proposed ordinance
amendment.
Mr. Maass explained that the PUD is a negotiation. The limitations from setbacks and the
limitations of the site, it was not a large attraction to the city. He stated he did not anticipate
things to change that much on that side of the road.
Commissioner Goff asked if this was the best solution or if there should be an additional number
eleven providing an opportunity for a pond.
Mr. Maass responded that the Excel site was replaced and relocated a wetland. At this location,
there would not be a way to relocate wetlands on this piece of property.
Commissioner Goff asked about the logic of striking number ten.
Mr. Maass answered that in the discussions with the property owner, eliminating number ten
would make it easier in discussions with the city.
Chairman Noyes opened the public hearing.
Chairman Noyes closed the public hearing.
