- Ms. Knudsen noted that the colors had not been selected yet, and added that there were no neighborhood areas to the north of Stanley. Commissioner Sullivan requested a visual simulation of the waterslide later in the plarming process. He noted that the east side of Stanley would be developed eventually. Commissioner Sullivan noted that the plan to take traffic off Stanley Boulevard seemed sufficient. Commissioner Sullivan noted that he would like the trees in the picnic area be retained. Ms. Knudsen noted that the landscaping plan was still being developed, and that they would try to retain as many trees as possible on-site. They may move less mature trees to a location where they could grow to maturity. Lynn Serber inquired how tall the concrete plant was behind Shadow Cliffs. She agreed that the site should be developed, and believed the proposal would be very nice. She noted that she and her family would enjoy the water park even more if it were a little nicer. She believed this would be a very good use of the site, and she believed a tasteful waterpark would make sense. /"'"' In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Sullivan, Mr. Nicholson replied that the site was subject to lease negotiations with the waterslide developer. He added that the economic feasibility of the waterpark was being evaluated by a consultant, and that there must be an income stream from the property in order to accept 800 more vehicles on the site. He was not sure how that would benefit the City, but he believed that would be clarified as the process continued. Mr. Nicholson advised that the applicant would purchase water from Zone 7. The well on the site would not be used, because of previous significant shortages. Commissioner Sullivan expressed concern about the safety issues, particularly the number of children allowed on the slide at the same time. He noted that the Commission must take a close look at the detailed plans to ensure that the use was appropriate for the area. Commissioner Roberts expressed concern about the colors, and did not believe the entire park should have to be designed in extremely bright colors. She was initially irritated by the too-bright blue, although that has faded over time. While the children's play equipment was very safe and nice, she did not believe that every piece of equipment must be a garish primary color. She noted that the architectural plan seemed to show one unisex bathroom, and believed the applicants must re-examine that item. She did not believe that was adequate. She liked the architecture, which she compared to Coney Island. She was concerned with the shininess of the metal roof, which would be extremely armoying to the homes in the hills. She suggested that the metal roof be muted. .-- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 11, 2002 Page 13
