<br />with an imprinted concrete that may be more durable for the retaining walls. <br /> <br />Members of Public: <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />Commission Questions: <br /> <br />Commissioner McAvinew agrees that something could be done with the retaining wall to match the <br />buildings. <br /> <br />Mr. Kane has no problem changing the block on the building to brick. As far as the brick on the <br />sidewalls, he wonders if that in time a colored concrete wall may hold up better. <br /> <br />McAvinew asked if the applicant has come up with a new name. <br /> <br />Mr. Kane does not have a problem with Caledonia Place Apartments as suggested by Ken Johnstone. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kalish asked if they have made a provision for recycling. <br /> <br />Mr. Kane will look into providing a place for recyclables. <br /> <br />Chairman Lipton asked why this is a SRU. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnstone stated that to a large extent the PUD is intended to supercede the SRU process. <br /> <br />Mr. Lipton’s only concern is the on-street parking. He doesn’t think that the school district entering into <br />a shared parking agreement since they are so under-parked anyway. Where does that leave them with <br />the parking requirements for the Old Town District and what is typically required. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnstone stated that from a policy standpoint, you do not have to require guest parking. He thinks <br />it is appropriate to rely on the on-street parking in most situations. In this situation the Staff felt it was <br />necessary to raise this as a concern for the Commission to consider. There is other parking in the area. <br />The school is being used by many others as additional parking already. There is additional parking further <br />down the street. <br /> <br />Mr. Kane added that Griffith Street is a half a block to the south and that he has visited with the <br />neighbors who indicated that they did use the school parking lot for additional parking. <br /> <br />Commissioner McDermott asked what the purpose of the wall is on the south side. <br /> <br />Mr. Kane stated that the drainage from all of the lots flows back into the railroad right-of-way making it <br />necessary to change the grade somewhat. <br /> <br />Staff Summary: <br /> <br /> <br /> 10 <br /> <br />
