Jane Kee, City Planner Steve Homeyer, Assistant t th City Engineer Julius Gribou, NRB Chai Tom Williams, NRB Member Charles Anderson, NRB Member Winnie Garner, P&Z Representative Others Attending Natalie Ruiz, Planning, Technician Shirley Volk, Development Coordinator Sabine McCully, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Site Redevelopment - 31S Church Street; proposed redevelopment of the commercial building located on the northeast corner of Second and Church Streets. (97-405) A Northgate Revitalization Board Subcommittee (NRBS) meeting was held Wednesday, June 26, 1997 to discuss the above mentioned redevelopment plan. Senior Planner McCully explained that Mr. Benning has requested not to install the irrigation .system. Instead, he would like to utilize the existing hose bibs to water the new landscaping. Ms. McCully explained that the Board has the discretion to not require the irrigation system; however, staff would like some direction for future redevelopment in the Northgate area and the requirement of irrigation systems. The Board expressed concern that the few green areas that remain when a site is redeveloped should be properly maintained. By not requiring an irrigation system in this case, the Board is setting a precedent; for future development in the Northgate area. Imgation systems will help in maintaining the landscaped areas. and in preventing future code enforcement problems. Mr. Williams moved to require an irrigation system for the proposed development in order to ensure the integrity of what little green space is left on the. site. Chairman Gribou seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6 - 0). APPEAL PROCESS:.. An applicant may appeal the decision of the NRBS to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
