Commissioner Allen requested, for the public's benefit, that staff share the contents of the memo sent to the Commission prior to the meeting related to the sidewalk concerns for Items 4 and 5. Ms. Amos provided information regarding the staff memo previously distributed to the Commission related to the sidewalk and current project conditions of approval, noting the memo clarified the requirement for installation of sidewalks along the Dennis Drive frontage and the two referenced applications. She confirmed the agenda reports for both projects implied the City would be accepting funding in lieu of requiring the projects to complete roadway widening and street installation, however, that was not reflected in the Conditions of Approval (COAs) recommended before the Commission. She stated COA No. 35 for PUD-140 and COA No. 36 for PUD-141 referenced the subdivision improvement agreement where the property owners or subdivider would need to enter into a subdivision improvement agreement with the City to ensure the completion of the required work would be completed by the subdivider. She further clarified that COA No. 86 for PUD-140 and COA No.87 for PUD-141 conditioned the project developer to install a five-foot sidewalk along the project frontage for Dennis Drive. She further discussed the gap in the sidewalk in front of 3520 Dennis Drive, noting City Council approval of an application in 2006 at 2001 Martin Drive which was similar to the current applications for PUD-140 and PUD-141 to subdivide the lot and develop a single-family residence in the front. She stated, at that time, City Council accepted funds in lieu of the subdivider installing the sidewalk and widening Dennis Drive, however, that work had not yet been included with any of the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Projects. She stated, if installation of the sidewalk were to be constructed along the Dennis Drive frontage, it would require City Council to take action for additional funding due to the increase of materials and labor costs over the past 15 years, in addition to including the work within a future CIP project to complete the gap in the sidewalk along that portion of Dennis Drive. Ms. Amos presented the specifics of the item in the Agenda Report. Commissioner Nibert noted he visited the site and noticed items similar to the written public comments received, particularly comments from Mike and Margaret Quinn, and Steve Grau and Jenny Grau, who expressed their concerns regarding completion of the sidewalk and roadway widening along Dennis Drive. He agreed that the concern was related to safety, noting the narrow condition of Dennis Drive. He continued stating the width of the sidewalk Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 10 July 14, 2021
