Summary

City staff presented a site plan for USD 348 that had unanimous Planning Commission approval; council approved the site plan after confirming a traffic and drainage study showing reduced flow and hearing no public comment.

Russ (city staff) presented the site plan for USD 348, telling the council the plan had been approved by the Planning Commission on April 8 with a unanimous vote and was supported by a traffic study and a drainage analysis that, he said, reduces flow compared with current conditions.

Russ said he fielded calls before the Planning Commission hearing to educate residents about the process, and he explained technical details of the drainage work to callers and meeting attendees. No members of the public spoke during the council meeting on this item.

Councilmembers asked staff whether there had been pushback at the Planning Commission (Russ said the contacts were largely informational) and discussed next steps. Unidentified Speaker (S5) moved to approve the site plan "as presented" and the council voted to approve the motion.

Next steps include project permitting and coordination with the school district and the city’s public-works staff on traffic and drainage mitigation as required by the approved plan.
