Marshall Goldman and Charles Johnson from K-Mart were at the meeting and presented a plot plan of the proposed K-Mart Discount Store development to be located between 47th and 49th Avenue east of Central. The store proposed is to be one story with 115,492 square feet. It would handle general merchandise, a food market, tire and auto center, and garden store. The property is zoned C-2-S and under this zone the 115,492 square foot b~ilding would require 1,800 parking spaces. Mr. Goldman requested the parking requirement be waived to permit 856 parking spaces as recommended by the Planning Commission on September 23rd. Mr. Goldman said K-Mart has made studies of their other stores and have found that somewhere between 780 and 800 spaces is adequate for their operation. He said a green area is proposed around the entire site and this would make room for additional parking if it is ever needed. Mayor Nawrocki said our ordinances provide for screening between commercial and residential areas. The K-Mart representatives said a 6' chain link fence is proposed with strips in it. These strips will be maintained yearly. It was reported a natural vision ~barrier will be created after grading and landscaping. Utilities and storm sewers are being worked out with the Engineering Department and a suggestion was made to have the Traffic Commission review the parking situation and traffic patterns for their recommendations. Motion by Heintz, seconded by Land that the waiver on parking requirements be granted subject to review by the Traffic Commission which ~Xwould allow the 780 parking spaces to serve the 115,492 square foot proposed building. Roll Call - All Ayes. Recess at 9:16 p.m. The meeting re-convened at 9:28 p.m. Home Federal Proposal, 4101 Central. Representatives from Home Federal were presentX~ requesting necessary waivers to construct a new facility at 4101 Central Avenue N.E. Mr. George Pelto said they have found it necessary to upgrade their facility and by putting up this building they will show our community they have ~confidence in the area. He said they were attracted to this corner because of the Mini-Park across the street and said the two will compliment each other. He said as far as screening is concerned, they propose to put up a wooden fence that would match the architecture of the building. The Planning Commission will approve screening at a future date. p. 135 Mr. Pelto said they will have a drive-in facility and felt 59 parking spaces should be adequate although in a C-2-S Shopping Center zone they would be required to have 85. Home Federal will deed the City 5' for right-of-way purposes on 41st Avenue so the roadway can be widened. Wide ~I~il side and front setbacks as required in the C-2-S would not be logical in thist~~ case as Anderson Furniture building across' 41st Avenue is built up to the front property line and Home Federal does not want their building back so as to be hidden from the north bound traffic on Central. Therefore they request a waiver to build within 9' of the front property line and 10I of the relocated si'de lot line on 41st Avenue. Motion by Land, seconded by Logacz .that the front and side yard waivers be granted and that the parking waiver be granted to allow the proposed structure to meet parking needs of 59 spaces. Roll Call - All Ayes. Mr. Brown said this proposal will also be discussed at the Traffic Commission meeting. United States Civil Defense Council meeting. A request was received from the Civil Defense Director to authorize expenses for the Police Coordinator, Curtis Ramsdell, to attend the conference of the United States Civil Defense Council to be held October 17-22.,. 1971 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The expenses would include travel, registration fees, etc., a part of which will be reimbursed by the Federal Government. Motion by Logacz, seconded Xby Heintz, to grant the request. Roll Call - All Ayes. Meeting Date Changes in October. The City Manager reported the holiday schedule has established the 2n.d and 4th Mondays in October as legal holidays. Therefore, our regular meeting dates will have to be changed. Motion by Heintz, seconded by Logacz .that the two regular meetings be changed from Monday the llth and 25th, to Monday the 18th, and Tuesday, the 26th of October at 8:00 p.m. Roll Call - All Ayes.' Special Meeting to Consider 1972 Budget. Mayor Nawrocki called for a special City Council meeting to be held at 8:30 p.m. on Monday, October 4th for purposes of consideration of adoption of the 1972 budget. Report on Watermain Restoration. A number of residents from Gould Avenue and a resident from 1625 - 37th Avenue were i~t~(&~prese'nt wondering when the restoration work would be completed on the watermain project. The City Manager reported a meeting was held with representatives 'from Orfei & 'Sons and the City to go over the list of items. IIHe said there were strong disagreements on the part of 0rfei on what constituted items directly ~associated with project work. The City Attorney p. 136 said in the contract and bid specifications it talks about street restoration and indicates the contractor shall restore all ~street surfaces damaged by the construction. Then it indicates standards by which it should be restored. In so far as the street restoration is concerned, if they have worked on a street location, they be required to restore the street to its original condition. After a lengthy discussion, Mayor Nawrocki stated: 1. Orfei completes his work and tells us it is complete. 2. The Engineer~(~inspects it and if he feels it is done, he tells the Council. 3. Then, it is up to the Council to make the final ~X~decision~(to let go ~of the money. He said, before the matter comes back to the City Council, all the work must be done. The names and addresses of the residents present were written down and will be contacted when this will be brought up for final consideration.
