Mayor Anderson opened the public hearing on the vacation of that portion of 172 n Street
immediately north of Lot 1, Block 1, Gateway 1" Addition. Mr. Olson explained that the right
of way is no longer needed, as 172nd Street was re-routed to connect with Kenyon Avenue as
part of the Kenwood Place plat. Ownership of the vacated parcel will revert to Badger Tire
Groupe, Inc. Badger Tire Groupe is required to grant the City a permanent easement for
public trail, drainage and utility purposes over the area to be vacated. The City Council is also

8. Avonlea Village Green
Michael Lang, representing KJPL Avonlea LLC, requested Council approval of the
preliminary and final plat of Avonlea Village Green, a 146 -unit three story market rate
apartment building with underground parking in the Avonlea Planned Unit Development.
Daniel Licht presented the proposed preliminary and final plat. The apartment building will
be located north of 1815' Street, west of Glacier Way and east of the Cedar Avenue Park and
Ride. He explained that the Avonlea Planned Unit Development Master Plan approved by the
City Council in 2015 identifies the subject property for high density residential use of up to
146 units. The apartment building complies with the Avonlea PUD and the RH-I District
standards of the zoning ordinance. In conjunction with the preliminary and final plat, the
City Council is also being asked to approve a resolution designating "no parking" areas on
181st Street, Glacier Way and Glanshaw Avenue.

9. Kingsley Place
Steven Schoeben requested Council approval of a conditional use permit to allow the
construction of a 55 -unit, four-story senior independent living apartment building. He
explained that the project, to be known as Kingsley Place, represents the second phase of the
Kingsley Shores development. Kingsley Place will include a wellness center, pool,
underground parking and a skyway connection to the existing Kingsley Shores Senior Living
facility.
Mr. Licht explained that the proposed project complies with the Kingsley Shores Senior
Living Planned Unit Development and the RH-I District standards of the zoning ordinance.
It is located within the Lake Kingsley shoreland overlay district in the northwest corner of
Kenwood Trail and Klamath Trail. The City Council is being asked to approve a site
improvement performance agreement and a resolution designating "no parking" areas on
Klamath Trail. The parking restriction will discourage parking on Klamath Trail by
employees and visitors of the apartment complexes, maintain sufficient access to the traffic
lanes, and provide increased sight lines for drivers. It will also reduce the interaction between
vehicles and pedestrians.
Council Member Hellier questioned whether the site would have ample parking if the
wellness center at Kingsley Place is, at some point, open to the general public.
Jack Collins of Silvercrest Properties stated the facility management will monitor attendance
at the wellness center by Kingsley Shores and Kingsley Place residents, which will determine
how many, if any, memberships would be available to non-resident seniors (55+). He
explained that the total number of off-street parking stalls complies with the City's
requirements for the proposed uses.
Motion was made by Wheeler, seconded by LaBeau, to approve findings of fact and a
conditional use permit for a planned shoreland development to allow the construction of a
55 -unit senior housing facility at 16895 Kenwood Trail, a Site Improvement Performance
Agreement, and Resolution No. 17-20 designating "no parking" areas on Klamath Trail.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Wheeler, Hellier, LaBeau, Davis, Anderson

10. PetSmart/Spirit of Brandtjen Farm
Page 5
Chris Moe of HJ Development requested Council approval of an amendment to the Spirit
Place at Brandtjen Farm Planned Unit Development to allow an increase in the size of the wall
signs from what was previously approved for the PetSmart retail building currently under
construction. He stated PetSmart is requesting an increase in the size of the two wall signs
from 42 inch letters to 54 inch letters. He withdrew his original request for one additional
wall sign on the PetSmart building.
Mr. Licht stated the City Council approved the preliminary and final plat for Spirit Place at
Brandtjen Farm in August of 2016 with a condition, as recommended by the Planning
Commission, that the PetSmart signs comply with the requirements of the C-3 District. The
PetSmart site and building are not unique from other commercial developments in the city
that are subject to the C-3 District sign requirements.
Mr. Licht explained that when HJ Development submitted this request for an amendment to
the PUD, City staff approached the Planning Commission to determine if it would support a
zoning ordinance update for the C-3 District to increase the area or number of signs allowed
for uses within that zoning district. The Planning Commission was not interested in
reviewing those sign standards and recommended no change.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed PUD amendment for
PetSmart and reiterated its previous position that a deviation from the zoning ordinance and
the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm PUD is not warranted. The City Council is being asked to adopt
findings of fact and decision for denial of the PUD amendment.
Council Members Wheeler and LaBeau stated they support the increased sign size as
requested by the developer.
Motion was made by Hellier, seconded by Davis, to deny an amendment to the Spirit Place at
Brandtjen Farm PUD for increased wall signage at PetSmart and adopt the findings of fact
and decision for denial.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Hellier, Davis, Anderson
Nays - LaBeau, Wheeler
