[ROLL CALL]
[CONSENT AGENDA]
[00:01:52]
IT WOULD LIKE TO CALL THE MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF AUBURN TO ORDER. WE PLEASE CALL THE ROLE.
>> DO WE HAVE ANY OLD BUSINESS? NO OLD BUSINESS.
>> OKAY CAN WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> MUCH TO PROVE.
>> SECOND. >> WE ARE ON TO NEW BUSINESS. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE AS WE DEAL WITH THIS CASE LAW BUT YOUR INPUT IS ONE PIECE AND ONE VARIABLE THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER AS WE COPE WITH THESE ISSUES IN OUR CITY. THE OTHER ITEM THAT WE OFTEN DEAL WITH, WE HAVE SEVERAL ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT IS REGULATING THE SUBDIVISION OF LAND FOR SALE. ANTHE STATE OF ALABAMA HAS GIVEN THE PLANNING COMMISSION THEFINAL AUTHORITY . WE DEVELOP REGULATIONS AND WHEN WE SEE A SUBDIVISION THAT APPEARS BEFORE AS OUR JOB IS TO MAKE A TECHNICAL REVIEW TO ENSURE THAT THAT SUBDIVISION CONFORMS TO THE REGULATIONS AS FAR AS PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF THE CITIZENS WITH DEVELOPING
[1. Annexation - Thomas AX-2023-014]
AND THE TRANSFER OF TITLE. WITH THAT IN MIND WE WILL TALK ABOUT NEW BUSINESS.THE FIRST ITEM IS THE ANNEXATION OF THE THOMAS PROPERTY.
>> GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. THE FIRST REQUEST BEFORE YOU IS ONE OF TWO ANNEXATION PETITION . THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST AREA OF TOWN.
THIS IS NEAR MACON COUNTY. THE PROPERTY OWNER IS REQUESTING TO ANNEX A PORTION OF THE EXISTING RECORD. THAT PORTION IS A LITTLE OVER 1 ACRE.
THE INTENT OF THE REQUEST IS ONE OF TWO REQUESTS THAT ARE RELATED.
THE INTENT OF THIS REQUEST IS TO PROVIDE ACCESS AND CONTINUITY TO THE SECOND ANNEXATION REQUEST OF THE MAY ANNEXATION. THE PETITION THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED MEETS THE CRITERIA. THERE IS ONE GUIDELINE FROM THE POLICY THAT'S NOTBEING MET .
THAT IS A MINIMUM ANNEXATION AREA FOR THESE 3 ACRES. FOR THAT REASON STAND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF THIS PETITION. I DID WANT TO MENTION THE THREE-ACRE GUIDELINE IS NOT ENTIRELY CONSISTENT HERE BECAUSE THAT STRIP OF LAND CANNOT BECOME ITS OWN ON THE RECORD. WE DO NOT HAVE A NONCONFORMING LOT THE PETITIONER FOR THE NEXT REQUEST IS HERE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO ASK ANY
[00:05:05]
QUESTIONS OR HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE ARRANGEMENT THAT HAS BEENAGREED UPON HE MAY BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU SOME MORE DETAILS. >> ESSENTIALLY THE REQUEST IS
TO ANNEX JUST A PIECE OF A PARCEL. >> THAT IS CORRECT.
>> IT WILL NOT CHANGE OWNERSHIP. >> THAT IS CORRECT.
IT WILL NOT BE SUBDIVIDED OUT. >> AS THE PETITIONER OR REPRESENTATIVE ADDRESSING THIS QUESTION THAT WILL ALLOW THE PERSON WHO HAS REQUESTED HIM TO DO THIS TO COME AND DISCUSS THE
REASONS BEHIND THIS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE OF HISTORY BEHIND THIS.
>> BEFORE YOU DO THAT PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. >> IS DEREK MAE.
IT'S 97 ROCHESTER ROAD IN ALABAMA. I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT HOW THIS IS COME TO BE.I WILL BE AS BRIEF AS I CAN HEAR.
IN MAY OF 2021 MY FAMILY RECEIVED DEVASTATING NEWS THAT MY GRANDDAUGHTER HAD A TYPE OF BRAIN CANCER KNOWN AS NEUROBLASTOMA. SHE REMAINED IN THE ICU FOR OVER A YEAR. AFTER NUMEROUS BRAIN SURGERIES, CHEMOTHERAPY AND BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME HOME. NEVIS PARENTS NEVER LEFT HER SIDE THEY WERE WITH HER THE ENTIRE TIME. NOVA ALSO HAS A FIVE-YEAR-OLD BROTHER, A THREE-YEAR-OLD SISTER. THE DOCTORS IN BIRMINGHAM ARE TALKING ABOUT LETTING HER COME HOME. WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT SOMEWHERE IN TIME TO GO. A NEW MOBILE HOME OUT ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY SO THEY HAVE TO ASK WHERE TO BRING HOME TWO. I HIRE BRIAN FROM THE ENGINEERING GROUP TO COME IN AND THEY WORK WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AS WELL.THEY TRY TO MAKE SURE WE MET THE REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDELINES. THE EXHIBIT THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WAS INITIALLY APPROVED. LATER THE THREE-ACRE GUIDELINE CAME UP WHICH IN MY OPINION DOES NOT COMPLY IN THIS CASE. THE INTENT OF THAT I'M SURE HE CAN EXPLAIN IT BETTER THAN I CAN. THE INTENT OF IT IS SO THAT IT WOULD NOT CREATE NONCONFORMITY.
THE INTENT OF THE GUIDELINE IS TO AVOID THE CREATION OF AN ISOLATED LAND AREA WHICH COULD BECOME A RECORD. IT CANNOT BE ABOUT TO START WITH.
THE THREE-ACRE GUIDELINE I'M NOT SURE APPLIES IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE.
ICT USE BUT I DON'T SEE ITS USE HERE. I DON'T SEE HOW THIS COULD BE USED IN THAT REGARD IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE. I AM MAINLY STRICTLY ASKED TO BE TREATED AS AN EQUAL PARTY. I'M ASKING YOU TO DO ANYTHING UNPRECEDENTED.
THIS HAS BEEN DONE HERE BEFORE. THIS IS OVER 1.57 ACRES. BASICALLY THE SAME THING WE ARE
[00:10:07]
TRYING TO DO. MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO GO TO THESE AUBURN CITY SCHOOLS. I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE BEST I CAN.>> WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. >> TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE GRANDDAUGHTER THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIVES ON THE PROPERTY FACING THE ROAD 137.
>> YOU'RE ASKING FOR THIS TO BECOME CONTINUOUS INTO THE CITY.
X CORRECT. IF THE LOT TWO FAILS I LOSE CAN TAKE WHAT YOU WHICH MEANS IT'S A BIG THING FOR ME. I THINK THEY HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT.
I THINK WE CAN USE WORDS TO MOVE THEM AROUND HOWEVER WE WANT TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IT'S CLEARLY NOT APPLIED CORRECTLY BECAUSE THAT STEM CANNOT BE
CREATED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. ME. >> I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE STAFF
GIVE US SOME MORE ON THAT. >> PRIOR TO 2012 THE CITY DID NOT HAVE NUTRITION POLICY ANNEXATION TO JUST GO THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL.
ANNEXATION GUIDELINES AND POLICIES WERE ADOPTED TO TRY TO LIMIT THE SPRAWLING CITY LIMITS OR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS PIECE WHICH WAS DONE IN 2006. THE MAYOR REFERRED TO A MEANS GOING A THOUSAND FEET OR MORE TO CONNECT PROPERTIES THAT ARE INTENDED TO BE DEVELOPED.
THE DEVELOPER WANTED TO GIVE SUBDIVISION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THIS CASE IT'S ONE PROPERTY OWNER WITH NO INTENT OF DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY. THE LOT WAS NEXT IN THE CITY LIMITS. THEN ON THE LOT SIZE IS 3 ACRES.
IN A SITUATION WHERE LESS THAN 3 ACRES ARE CARVED OUT AND CREATED AS ITS OWN LOT IT WOULD
BE NONCONFORMING. >> THIS WAS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING SO IS THERE ANY PUBFURT DISCUSSION?F NOT IS THERE ANYONE PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION?
>> I WILL MOVE TO RECOMMEND THAT THE ANNEXATION FOR 2023 ? 014 MOVE FOR APPROVAL.
>> A MOTION HAS BEEN MADE IS THERE A SECOND? >> I WILL SECOND IS ANYONE THAT WISHES TO DISCUSS THE MOTION? THE MOTION IS TO RECOMMEND TO
COUNSEL THAT IS ANNEXATION REQUEST BE APPROVED. >> I HAVE A LITTLE BIT ON THIS.IT DOESN'T CONFORM THE ANNEXATION POLPOLICY. I RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS BEEN DONE BEFORE. IS THERE SOME WAY IF WE APPROVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS CREATING A NONCONFORMITY, THIS IS KIND OF A SPECIAL CONDITION AND IT IS NOTED THAT WAY.
AS WE COME UP TO ANOTHER THING LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE WE WILL HAVE SOME REASON TO MAYBE
[00:15:07]
DISPUTE THAT FOR REASONS. >> WE HAVE IN THE PAST PLACED NOTES IN THE MINUTES WITH THIS
AND WE ARE CONSIDERING THAT AS A HARDSHIP EXCEPTION. >> ANOTHER THE PERSON THAT OWNS THIS IS NOT HERE. SHOULD HE OR SHE DECIDE IN THE FUTURE TO SUBDIVIDE THIS?
IT'S CONTIGUOUS AND HE CANNOT DO THAT. >> HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO
SUBDIVIDE THAT LAND. >> HE WAS CONTINUOUS ON ONE SIDE THAT MAKES EVERYONE
CONTINUOUS AND SUBDIVIDED. >> IT HAS TO BE NO LONGER THAN A 750 FEE.
AN OWNER WAS WILLING TO DO. HE'S NOT WILLING TO DO THAT. >> HE'S NOT WILLING TO DO 3
ACRES. >> THAT'S CORRECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND SECONDED. DOESN'T PHASE OF THE MOVE
MOTION SAY AYE. >> AYE. THE MOTION CARRIES.
[2. Annexation - May AX-2023-013]
>>> THE NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS THE MAY ANNEXATION WHICH IS THE PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE JUST
DISCUSSED. >> THAT IS CORRECT. THIS IS THE PROPERTY OWNED BY MR. MAY WHICH IS 3 ACRES. IF THE PREVIOUS ANNEXATION IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL IT WOULD THEN BE CONTIGUOUS. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> ANYBODY WISH TO DISCUSS THIS? IS ANYONE PREPARED TO MAKE A
MOTION? >> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE A X ? 2023 ? 013.
>> SECOND. >> THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE AND SECONDED.
THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE THE SUPPOSED SAY NUMBER WHEN YOU COMPILE THE MINUTES AND THE PART THAT MANY OF US CONSIDER THIS TO BE AN UNUSUAL CASE. THE NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS.
[3. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment - Brewpub & Swimming Pools - PUBLIC HEARING ZT-2023-002]
>> THIS IS A REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF AUBURN TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR GROBREWPUBS AND SWIMMING POOLS. THE CHANGES ARE PRETTY MINOR.
IT IS A CHANGE TO THE DEFINITION IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
BASICALLY JUST REFLECT MORE CLOSELY WHAT'S IN THE STATE CODE OF ALABAMA.
ON THE SWIMMING POOL AS IT IS A CHANGE. THE BIGGEST CHANGES TO ELIMINATE ANY SEPARATION REQUIREMENT FROM THE HOME TO THE POOL.
THE CURRENT CODE REQUIRES A 10 FOOT SEPARATION AND THE BUILDING CODE ALLOWS MUCH CLOSER AND DIFFERENT DISTANCES DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. BASICALLY WE WANT TO REMOVE THAT FROM OUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE IT'S REDUNDANT OR RESTRICTIVE THAN WHAT THE BUILDING CODE WOULD REQUIRE.THIS DOES REQUIRE PUBLIC HEARING AND I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> NOW IT'S TIME TO CONSIDER CHANGING.
THIS REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING SO IF THERE IS ANYONE HERE THAT WISHES TO ASK QUESTIONS OR RAISE ISSUES REGARDING THESE TWO ITEMS PLEASE COME FORWARD. NOW AND IS COMING SO WE WILL
[00:20:01]
CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ARE WE ABLE TO MAKE A MOTION.>> AND MOVE TO APPROVE ZT ? 2023 ? 02. >> SECOND.
[4. Rezoning - District at Richland PDD - PUBLIC HEARING RZ-2023-012]
THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE THE MOTION CARRIES NOW WE COME TO THE REZONING OF
RICHLAND PDD. >> THIS IS A REQUEST TO APPLY THE DESIGNATION ON APPROXIMATELY 30 ACRES. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE PARKWAY AND RICHMOND ROAD. THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN UNDEVELOPED SINCE 1984 WHEN THE ZONING ORDINANCE WAS FIRST ADOPTED. THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION IS MASTER PLANNED MIXED-USE TO THE NORTH WITH THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE PROPERTY WITH GATEWAY COMMERCIAL . THE REMAINING SOUTHERN PORTION IS DESIGNATED BACK IN 2011.
ASK THE REQUESTED 275 MULTI- RESIDENTIAL USES THAT CONSIST OF DUPLEXES, TOWNHOME STYLE UNITS AND FLATS IN ADDITION TO 20,000 FT.? OF COMMERCIAL SPACE.
THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE BROKEN UP INTO TWO PHASES WITH THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION COMMENCING FIRST. THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL USES WILL BE IN THE NEXT REQUEST.
THE BASE ZONING DISTRICT OF CDD DOES ALLOW FOR SINGLE-FAMILY AND TOWNHOME USES BY RIGHT AS WELL AS MANY COMMERCIAL USES BY RATE. JUST AN EXAMPLE THE PATRICK PACKAGE TARGET RESTAURANTS, BUT NERI OFFICE AND MATERIAL SALES, CONVENIENCE STORES WHICH WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL.
THE APPLICANT HAS CHOSEN A PLAN DEVELOPMENT DESIGNATION TO CONSTRUCT A MORE COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT SUITABLE FOR THE AREA. THESE ARE THE DUPLEXES, TOWNHOMES ARE RIGHT THEREBY RICHMOND ROAD AND THE FLATS BUILDING IS IN THE CENTER OF THE DEVELOPMENT. THE APPLICANT HAS CREATED A TRANSITION FROM THE STANCE WITH THE DIVISION FOR HIGHER DENSITY WHICH IS FURTHER AWAY IN THE CENTER OF THE DEVELOPMENT.THE UNDERLYING ZONING ALLOWS MAXIMUM OF 5.0 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE HOWEVER THE PROJECT PROPOSES 9.8 PER ACRE. THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING A TOTAL OF 8.33 TOTAL ACRES OF OPEN SPACE WHICH IS MORE THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIRED 6 ACRES IN THE CDD ZONING DISTRICTS.
THERE WILL BE A MINIMUM 30 FOOT UNDISTURBED BUFFER WITH THE SUBDIVISION TO THE WEST.
THERE IS A REQUIRED 15 FOOT BUFFER ALONG RICHLAND AND SHOOK STREET FRONTAGES.
>> AND ME TO GO THROUGH THE RENDERINGS HERE. THAT'S THE MAIN ENTRANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL ANDTOWNHOMES . THAT'S THE COMMERCIAL AND THE TOWNHOMES.
THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL PORTION TOWNHOMES ALONG RICHLAND. DUE TO SIGNIFICANT TOPOGRAPHY CHANGES THESE TOWNHOMES WILL SET LOWER THAN RICHMOND ROAD. THE DUPLEXES.
THIS IS THE TOWNHOME IS AT THE DUPLEXES AT THE TOWNHOMES AS WILL WHICH WILL BE 20 FEET IN HEIGHT. THESE ARE THE FLATS WHICH ARE APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET IN HEIGHT. THIS IS JUST A BREAKDOWN OF THE UNIT.
THERE IS GOING TO BE 29 ONE-BEDROOM UNITS. 42 BEDROOM UNITS AND 155 THREE-BEDROOM UNITS. AND 26 FOUR BEDROOM UNITS. STAFF RECOMMENDS FORWARDING REQUESTS TO CITY COUNCIL WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FOR COMMENTS.
I WILL NOTE SOME OF THE COMMENTS HERE. THE APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF A 30 FOOT BUFFER TO THE WEST PROPERTY LINE.
THE APPLICANT ALSO AND THE DEVELOPER MUST MEET STANDARDS FROM THE ZONING ORDINANCE.
>> ONE THING I WILL MAKE CLEA . IT TOOK ABOUT FLATS.
[00:25:12]
>> DOES THE DEVELOPER HERE WISH TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS? >> NOT AT THIS TIME.
>> IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM STAFF AT THIS TIME?
>> WE WENT TO ASK ANYONE THAT WISHES TO COME FORWARD WHEN IT'S TIME TO COME FORWARD AND I WILL CALL ON YOU. BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PODIUM OR AFTER YOU LEAVE THE PODIUM PLEASE SIGN IN WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. WE WILL ASK YOU TO HOLD YOUR
COMMENTARY TO FIVE MINUTES. >> GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS
REGARDING THE PROPOSAL MITCH AND BUZZY AT 11 3701 IN AUBURN. >> WE JUST HAD A QUESTION AND SOME COMMENTS REGARDING THE EFFORTS. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE STAFF ARE WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT FOR THE APPROVAL THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED.
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. WITH THAT BEING SAID THE CURRENT PLAN IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. IT DOES NOT MAKE IT A PLAN SO IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY A
TRAFFIC STUDY WAS NOT SUBMITTED WITH THIS APPLICATION. >> IS AT A QUESTION?
>> THE STAFF HAS RECEIVED THA . QUICK SOME OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE REGARDING THE TRAFFIC STUDY IS THAT IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT.
THERE IS CURRENTLY 19 OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE TWO ACCESS POINTS OFF OF THE INTERSECTION. THE ABSENCE AND AT LEAST A RIGHT OF WAY OR THE DRIVEWAY IN MY OPINION ORDERS MALPRACTICE. YOU MENTIONED WITH THE FLATS AND SINGLE TOWNHOMES IT'S GOING TO BE BUILT THERE AND THAT'S GONNA PUT AN ENORMOUS STRAIN ON RICHMOND DURING PEAK HOURS IF ANYBODY THAT'S DRIVEN UP AND DOWN WILL TELL YOU THAT IT'S ALREADY AT OR NEAR CAPACITY.
IN MY OPINION THE APPLICATION IS LITERALLY SLAC: IT COMES TO ADDRESSING THE IMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT. I UNDERSTAND THE TRAFFIC STUDY HAS BEEN CREATED.
THE PACKET IS SUPPOSED TO CLEARLY COMMUNICATE THE TRIPS GENERATED BY THE PROPOSAL AND THIS ONE DOES NOT. THERE'S 275 RESIDENTIAL UNITS WITH A FINAL POPULATION OF 713 PEOPLE. IT WOULD PROVIDE 780 PARKING SPOTS AND ANYONE THAT'S DRIVEN UP AND DOWN RICHMOND RIGHT NOW DURING PEAK HOURS ALREADY KNOWS IT'S AT CAPACITY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE WAS NEVER A CONSIDERATION FOR AN EGRESS AND INGRESS.
I'M ABOUT DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH. I THINK IT'S AWESOME AND I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE RETAIL IN THEIR. I'D LIKE TO SEE THE RETAIL IN THEIR ALONG WITH THE HOMES INSTEAD OF LEAVING THOSE BUILDINGS MD FOR FUTURE DATES.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN AND WORRY IS THE TRAFFIC OFF OF RICHMOND IF WE COULD PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING
SOMETHING I THINK THAT WOULD BENEFIT EVERYONE. >> ANYONE ELSE?
>> AND ROBIN FELL AS I LIVE AT 65 92 VILLAS WAY AND A CONDOMINIUM.
[00:30:01]
OUR CONDOMINIUM UNIT WAS NOT EVER CONSIDERED ON ANY OF THE SCHEMATICS AND NARRATIVE ABOUT WHAT WAS PUT OUT ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.WE ARE HERE. WE ARE HERE TO BE RECOGNIZED AND TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS.
I TALK FUNNY BECAUSE I'M FROM NEW ZEALAND BUT I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND DAVE LIVE IN AUBURN FOR 35 YEARS. I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH CREDENTIALS TO OVERCOME.
I'M NOT OPPOSED TO DEVELOPING THIS LAND. I AM OPPOSED TO THE HIGH DENSITY. I THINK THAT LOW TO MODERATE DENSITY IS MUCH MORE IN KEEPING WITH WHAT IS DEVELOPED AROUND IT. I HEAR TELL THAT IT WAS ALREADY ZONED FOR THIS KIND OF THING YEARS AND YEARS AGO. I THINK THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS DEVELOPED AROUND IT IT'S A SHAME AT WHAT HIGH DENSITY ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY ESPECIALLY AS THE GENTLEMAN HAS POINTED OUT. THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC ON THAT PARTICULAR PORTION OF RICHLAND ROAD AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY.
THERE ARE TRAFFICS TO SCHOOLS THAT COME ALONG THERE. THERE'S PEOPLE GOING TO WORK AT THE UNIVERSITY AND IN TOWN AT THE ROUNDABOUT. BETWEEN SEVEN AND EIGHT IN THE MORNING IT'S PRETTY TENSE. THAT WOULD BE THE TIME THAT 780 PACKING PLACES POTENTIALLY COULD BE EMPTYING OUT OF THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT IF IT IS PUT IN AS PROPOSED.
I WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT THAT WASN'T MENTIONED IN THE PRESENTATION HERE.
780 PACKING PLACES.PLUS A PROPOSAL FOR A 110 IN THE RETAIL SECTION.
IT'S NOT QUITE CLEAR IN THE NARRATIVE WITH THE PROPOSAL OR THE 780 INCLUDES THAT 110 DON'T THINK IT DOES. I THINK WE ARE LOOKING AT MAYBE 890 PACKING SPACES.
I JUST WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT. WHERE IS QUITE NARROW AND IT HAS UNFORTUNATE CURVES AND IT. ON OUR LEFT HAND TURN SORT OF LIKE THIS AND YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU MOVE INTO 70 CAN IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE.
WITH 780 PACKING SPACES THE OTHER POINT I WANT TO MAKE AS WE HAVE HAD A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT. IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT AT RICHMOND ELEMENTARY.
THERE IS NOT MUCH INFORMATION THAT FLOATS ABOUT IT BUT THERE WERE GUNSHOTS.
THERE WERE CHILDREN BEING DROPPED OFF IN SCHOOL BUSES AND OUT OF PARENTS CARS AT THE TIME. IT WAS A BIG DEAL AND THE HELICOPTERS CAME IN I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY POLICE ARRIVED. IT WAS JUST AMAZING AND HORRIFYING.
IT IS HAPPENED IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA. I HOPE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN BUT IN THIS DAY AND AGE YOU JUST DON'T KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
>> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? >> MY NAME IS STEVE GUENTHER. 688 VILLAS WAY.
AND TO THINK MY ESTEEMED NEIGHBOR FOR SOME FINE WORDS. I JUST WANT TO HIT A COUPLE MORE THINGS. WE DID MENTION THAT THERE WAS A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE.
AT WHAT TIME DID WE DO THE TRAFFIC STUDY? >> WILL GET THOSE ANSWERS FOR
YOU IN A SECOND. >> THE DENSITY IS GOING TO BE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY.
THAT'S ONE THING THAT NO OTHER PLACE ON THAT ROAD THAT HAS THAT BIG OF DENSITY.
[00:35:05]
THE SAFETY IS THE BIGGEST CONCERNS ESPECIALLY IN THE SCHOOL.DOING A LEFT TURN ON CURVES AND RICHMOND ROAD IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THAT WITH THOSE CARS. AS THE FIRST GENTLEMAN SAID POSSIBLY HAVING THE EXITS AND ENTRANCES THEN SHOOK MIGHT BE THE ANSWER IF YOU WANT TO
CONSIDER THIS DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THAT LADY IN THE RIGHT WHAT
THE WHITE BLOUSE. >> MY NAME IS DOROTHY KELMAN AND I LIVE AT 48 VILLAS WAY.
I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE WHAT MY NEIGHBORS HAVE SAID. THERE IS VERY MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT 700 MORE CARS COMING ONTO RICHMOND ROAD IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING.
OUR CONDOMINIUM COMPLEX IS HERE NEXT TO US.THAT IS A LOT OF CARS COMING AND GOING.
THERE'S JUST A LOT OF TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA. OUR LEFT TURN LANE IS KIND OF IN A CURVE. I CAN IMAGINE IT BEING 700 MORE CARS ON THE ROAD.
THERE ARE MANY TIMES IN THE MORNING WHEN I'M TRAVELING TO WORK THAT I HAVE TO WAIT TWO OR THREE MINUTES TO TURN OUT OF MY COMPLEX BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC.
ANOTHER ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS THERE EVEN IN? WE HAVE EMPTY RETAIL SPACE.
I KNOW THAT'S NOT MY AREA BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF THIS TYPE OF BUILDING GOING ON.
THAT WAS EVERYTHING I HAVE TO SAY. >> I'M JOAN DARROW AND I LIVE IT 2446 CHURCHILL SERCIRCLE. THE GREATEST CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC.
THE EXIT LAYER AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT'S RIGHT ACROSS FROM SOME EXISTING APARTMENTS.
IF YOU'VE NEVER TRAVELED TO SCHOOLS TRAFFIC BACKS UP. I DON'T SEE HOW THESE PEOPLE CAN EVEN GET OUT THAT LIVING THERE. PLUS, IT IS NOT THAT FAR FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT SHOOK AND RICHLAND. AS IT STANDS NOW I'M TOTALLY AGAINST THIS DEVELOPMENT. I DON'T SEE THE BENEFIT TO THE NEIGHBORS.
>> THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME MY NAME IS CHRIS PATTON. I'M A RESIDENT OF COX FALLS.
[00:40:09]
MY FAMILY AND I MOVED THERE IN 2014 PRIOR TO DEVELOPMENT IN THE OAKS WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT ARE SCHOOL AGED THAT ATTEND RICHLAND. IT IS AN EXTREMELY BUSY AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY. MANY PEOPLE WALK AND BICYCLE THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING. RIGHT NOW WITH THE TWO SCHOOLS THAT WE HAVE THERE ARE THREE CROSSING GUARDS DIRECTING TRAFFIC IN ORDER FOR THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC TO TURN LEFT AND GET BACK OUT. IT'S ABOUT A 30 MINUTE DRIVE MOST MORNINGS.IT'S SICK SIGNIFICANT TIME COMMITMENT TO GET OUT. IT'S ALMOST BETTER TO WAIT UNTIL SCHOOL IS ALREADY AND THEN LEAVE BECAUSE IT WILL BE OF MUCH QUICKER.
THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO EXIT THE DEVELOPMENTS. TURNING LEFT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBILITY BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC BACKS UP FROM THE LIGHT AND DUE TO SCHOOL TRAFFIC. I WOULD ALSO STATE THAT AS FAR AS RESIDENTS THAT LIVE HERE THERE IS NOT A LARGE SIDEWALK THAT LIVE ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET ACCORDING TO ACCOMMODATE THEM WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE TO CROSS IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT TRAFFIC AND THAT IS DEFINITELY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WHEN AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS HERE WE ARE LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC BEING STOPPED THAT EMERGENCY VEHICLES I CAN HAVE A TOUGH TIME ACCESSING IT. I'M ALSO A LITTLE CONCERNED AND I DON'T KNOW IF THESE ARE RUMORS THAT IT'S THE FIRE STATION WHICH IS ONE OF OUR FIRST RESPONDERS JUST ACROSS THE STREET. WILL THEY BE MOVED OR OTHERWISE SHUT DOWN.
IF THAT IS THE CASE AND WE DON'T HAVE FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE AREA TO SERVICE WHEN AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS I WOULD ASK THAT THE PLANET COMMISSION TAKE A LOOK TO THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN ISSUE. I'M EXCITED ABOUT HAVING COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS I TALKED TO ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.E ARE JUST CONCERNED THAT UNLESS THERE IS INGRESS OR EGRESS FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT IT'S GOING TO IMPACT NOT ONLY OUR LOTS BUT THE LOTS OF OUR NEW RESIDENCE. I ASKED THE COMMISSION TO PLEASE CONSIDER THIS THANK YOU.
IS ANYONE ELSE? >> I MAY HAVE A BREACH OF PROTOCOL THIS IS UNUSUAL.
A RICHMOND ROAD RESIDENT IS OUT OF STEAK AND ASKED IF I WOULD READ A STATEMENT FOR HIM.
>> KEEP IT WITHIN THE TIME AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE A COPY OF HIS NAME.
>> IT WILL TAKE A MINUTE OR A MINUTE AND HALF HE TEXTED IT TO ME.
WHAT'S MY NAME IS MIKE CRUMPLER I AM THE GROUCHY TROLL THAT LIVES UNDER THE BRIDGE THERE.
THIS TEXT MAY JUST IS FROM RICK HAVEN WHO IS DOING WORK IN THE MACKENZIE AREA.
HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD READ THIS FOR HIM. THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE PROPOSAL TO BUILD A MULTIPURPOSE DEVELOPMENT. I AM AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL IS CURRENTLY LAID OUT.I'M AGAINST THE FACT THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS DESIGNED WITHOUT EVER ASKING THE NEIGHBORS ON RICHLAND ROAD FOR THEIR THOUGHTS AND INPUT.
I WOULD HOPE MY COUNCILMAN AND THIS COMMISSION WITH AT THE VERY LEAST WHAT A POST-POSTPONE IMPROVING THIS UNTIL RESIDENTS ARE ALLOWED TO EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS.
IT IS A ROAD THAT IS CONSTANTLY USED BY WALKERS, RUNNERS AND FAMILIES.
[00:45:23]
WE LIKE RICHMOND ROAD RESIDENCE. THAT WAS YOUR PLAN AND PROMISE ON ABOUT THE HOUSE AND RICHLAND ROAD. I APPRECIATE MY NEIGHBOR MIKE READING THIS MORNING. PLEASE SLOW THIS DOWN UNTIL MORE INFORMATION AND RESIDENTS CAN HAVE INPUT THANK YOU RICK HIGGINS. I KNOW FROM AND I WISH I RAISE MY HAND EARLIER BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE HAS ARTIE SAID WHAT I WANT TO SAY.WE WILL BARTER PBROADER PROPERT 1999. TRAFFIC IS A HUGE PROBLEM SINCE THEN. WISH I HAD KNOWN EARLIER HAVE A PICTURE BUT IT SHOULD HAVE SUBMITTED SITTING IN MR. HAGAN'S DRIVEWAY 1.2 MILES FROM THE INTERSECTION. TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP 1.2 MILE AT 7:53 AM. IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE. AT 7:00 I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.I'M GONE BY 6:45 AM. A FEW WEEKS AGO THERE WAS A ZOOM CALL WITH DEVELOPERS AND WE GOT TO HEAR THEIR PRESENTATIONS. WE GAVE OUR INPUT.
WHY CAN WE NOT PUT EXITS ON TO THIS ROAD. PART OF THIS FRANCE WAS THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE AND I WILL BACK TRAFFIC UP. IF THEY ARE MAKING OUR POINT AND TRAFFIC IS AN ISSUE AND WHAT THEY DO IS MOVE FROM SHOGUN TO RICHMOND ROAD IT'S THE SAME TRAFFIC LIGHT IS THE PREVIOUSLY NOTED THIS DEVELOPMENT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF RICHLAND. THERE ARE TWO WAYS OUT AND IF YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT TO TAKE YOUR CHILDREN THERE YOU'RE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC WHICH IS BACKED UP INTO THE TURNING LANE I AM NOT AGAINST IT DEVELOPMENT BUT IT IS ILL-CONCEIVED.
ONCE THE GENIE IS OUT OF THE BOTTLE THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO.
THE DEVELOPER WILL COME IN AND LEAVE AND WE THE RESIDENTS ARE LEFT TO DEAL WITH THE MESS AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN FIX. THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY THAT WE CAN DIVERT TRAFFIC. CERTAINLY THERE'S A WAY YOU COULD DO IT WITH THE ANGLE LAST STEEP THAT IT IS. THERE IS EASILY NO WAY YOU CAN PUT IT TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR THE TIME FOR LETTING ME READ.
>> THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS NOT RAY. 2923 MONTANA WAY.
SAYS IN THE DAKOTA SUBDIVISION OFF OF RICHLAND. MY COLLEAGUE DOCTOR BRENNA SIMMONS IS HERE WITH THE HOA. WE PULLED OUR OWNERS AND WOULD LIKE TO JUST MAKE A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS.FIRST WE RESPECT THE RIGHT FOR THE DEVELOPER TO MAXIMIZE THE VALUE AND CREATE A NICE ADDITION TO THE COMMUNITY. AS THE OTHER CITIZENS HAVE SAID WE AGREE WITH THE TRAFFIC CLOCK THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE AND EVEN ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY INTERSECTION WHICH WILL CREATE AN UNBEARABLE SITUATION. WE UNDERSTAND AND I ATTENDED THE DIGITAL VERSION HEARING THAT THE DEVELOPER WAS GOING TO DO AND WE DID ASK HIM WHY NOT AN ENTRANCE ON SHOGUN THEY SAID THE STATE OF ALABAMA CONTROL SATURDAY THEIR REPLY TO THAT
[00:50:09]
WAS WELL DID YOU ASK? THEY SAID WE DIDN'T ASK BUT WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD DO IT.AGAIN LIKE OUR FELLOW CITIZENS WE THINK THAT THIS PROJECT CAN WORK BUT IT LEADS INGRESS AND EGRESS.ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVEN'T EVEN ASKED YET. TO MY NEW ZEALAND CITIZENS I PICK THE RUGBY WORLD CUP TO WIN. IN QUEUE.
>> WE UNDERSTAND TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE AND WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT HAS SOMETHING MORE TO ADD? >> SHERRY GUNTER I'M ALSO HERE. THE SECOND EXIT AND I FEEL THAT ONE HAS MENTIONED IT.
YOU ARE TALKING ONLY LEFT-HAND TURNS BASICALLY AND THEY ARE SAYING THE EXITS ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE FLASHING LIGHTS. AGAIN I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT CONSTRUCTION. I KNOW A LOT ABOUT KIDS IN SCHOOL ZONES.
I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. IT'S NOT WISE AND OLDER AND WE DON'T DO THAT.
THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE? >> I AM KENNETH BAKER.
I LIVE AT 1252 S. RIDGE COURT. MY PROPERTY BACKS UP TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT.
I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY. WHO IS THE ACTUAL PROPERTY
OWNER? >> WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT AS SOON AS WE FINISH WITH THIS.
WHOEVER OWNS IT HAS THE SAME RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHO OWNED IT. >> ANOTHER QUESTION IS HAS
THERE BEEN A STATE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT? >> IT'S 30 ACRES IN THE
DEVELOPMENT.>> WE WILL FIND OUT IN A MINUTE. >> I HAD ONE CONCERN.
THIS 30 ACRES OF STORM WATER RUNOFF FROM THE PROPOSED 30 ACRE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING THE LABOR AND PARKING WITH UNPAVED LAND AND ULTIMATELY 75 STRUCTURES AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR ATTENTION.
HER SUBDIVISION AT CEDAR POINT CURRENTLY DOES GET ON THIS PROPERTY AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT COME BY I WILL GET IT RIGHT HERE AND SHOW YOU. AN EXHIBIT EXAMPLE 1 INCH OF STORM WATER WITH 1 ACRE IS EQUAL TO 27,150.29 GALLONS. THE PROPERTY ITSELF IS DENSELY PARSED. I KNOW BECAUSE THEY COME ONTO MY PROPERTY IN THAT AREA.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS HERE IS NONE OF THE CEDAR POINT RESIDENCE BACK UP TO THIS.
THEY DON'T CARE OR EXPERIENCE THE INITIAL LEVEL OF THE 275. I QUESTION WHETHER A 30 YARD
[00:55:11]
BUFFER ZONE OF TREES IS REALLY GOING TO CUT IT. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU CHANGE 30 FEET OF THE ZONE. I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO SEE AND I DON'T THINK MY NEIGHBORS DO EITHER. THERE'VE BEEN MANY PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BURDEN FROM THE TRAFFIC. IF THEY SAID IF YOU HAVE 275 UNITS AND YOU HAVE AN AVERAGE OF TWO VEHICLES PER UNIT THAT'S CAN ADD APPROXIMATELY 550 VEHICLES TO RUTLAND ROAD.THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE VEHICLES FOR THE COMMERCIAL AREA.
I THINK THAT COVERS EVERYTHING. >> THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.
>> DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? I SEEN I WENT TO A CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. WE WILL CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION.
WE HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SHOOK EXIT. SEVERAL MENTIONED THAT ON THE STATE HIGHWAY.
>> ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I TALKED TO THE ENGINEER ABOUT IS TO MAKE A FORMAL REQUEST.
WE THINK THAT BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE IT MAY BE A RIGHT AND RIGHT OUT.
THAT WOULD NOT BE OPEN TO THE LEFT AND AT THIS LOCATION DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE TRAFFIC
SIGNAL. >> TO THE PARKING SPACES INCLUDE THE DETAIL?
>> IT LOOKS LIKE THE SITE PLAN INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL SPACES. >> WE HAVE RECEIVED A PRELIMINARY STUDY IN SEPTEMBER 2022. THE CONSULTANT THAT THAT THE STUDY OUT OF BIRMINGHAM ALSO DID THE ANALYSIS FOR THE WILLIAM BUECHNER PARKWAY.
THEY USE SOME OF THOSE SAME COUNTS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES ALLOW THEM TO BE USED WITHIN
TWO YEARS OF THE SAME AREA SO THE COUNTS ARE VALID. >> YOU KNOW WHAT TIME OF DAY?
>> IT WAS SEPTEMBER 2022. >> IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES BASED ON THE GUIDELINES.
>> BASED ON THIS BEING A REZONING AND NOT AN ANNEXATION PLATTER THERE'S A LOT THAT I
WILL GET. IS THIS REQUIRED FOR REZONING? >> TYPICALLY AT THIS STAGE IN A PROJECT WE DO NOT HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY. WE ENCOURAGE PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS BUT IT WOULD BE A CONCERN FOR A MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PD ZONING.
QUICK SOMEONE ASK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE GEARED TOWARDS MITIGATING TRAFFIC PROBLEMS. AND SO AS I UNDERSTAND IT THIS IS A QUESTION THAT WHATEVER THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WE WILL IMPLEMENT THEM.
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> THAT'S PART OF OUR STAFF REVIEW.
IF MITIGATION MEASURES ARE REQUIRED TO DEVELOPER IS REQUIRED TO INSTALL THOSE MITIGATION MEASURES WHETHER THEY BE TIMING CHANGES, LIENS, PRINT PERHAPS REDUCING THE SIZE AND SCALE OF DEVELOPMENT TO REDUCE THE IMPACT BUT THAT'S PART OF OUR STAFF REVIEW AND DETERMINING IF THE DEVELOPMENT IS SUITABLE IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE ADJACENT CAN HANDLE IT I DID ASKED THE OTHER DAY ABOUT THE DEVELOPERS REQUESTING.
[01:00:50]
YOU SAID NO FORMAL REQUEST AND I WOULD ASK ABOUT THAT WITH THE RIGHT TURN OUT IN A RIGHT TURN IN.I AGREE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW A LIGHT BUT I WANTED TO SEE IF THEY WOULD DO THAT.IS THAT THEREFORE A REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO DO? >> I WOULD SAY IT'S NOT REQUIRED. THE WAY WE EVALUATE ACCESS POINT IS WE WOULD LOOK AT THE CAPACITY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE AT THOSE TWO DRIVEWAYS. IF THOSE ARE ACCEPTABLE BASED ON TRAFFIC STANDARDS THEN WE WOULD SAY THAT THE DEVELOPMENT ACCESS POINTS ARE SUFFICIENT.
>> I GUESS WHAT I'M ASKING IS WHAT I HEARD WAS THEY HAD NOT ASKED.I JUST FEEL LIKE THEY
SHOULD AT LEAST INQUIRE. >> THE WAY ALL THAT WORKS. YOU CAN ASK AHEAD OF TIME.
THE OUTSIDE IS PRETTY REGIMENTED IN THAT YOU'D HAVE TO SUBMIT A FULL DESIGN PACKAGE TO THEM FOR THEY GAVE YOU AN OFFICIAL YES, SIR NUMBER FROM A DEVELOPER STANDPOINT I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR THEM. THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A LOT OF WORK IN ORDER TO EVEN GET A FORMAL SUBMITTAL AND GET A RESPONSE.ALL THAT WOULD PROBABLY NOT SAY YES, SIR NO
COMPANY BASED ON THE SCHEMATIC LAYOUT. >> YOU WOULD YOU MIND ADDRESSING WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE SPACE?WITHOUT A HEARING OR PLANNING.
WITHOUT CITY COUNCIL BLARING. WHEN THEY ASK WHAT IS ALLOWED? >> CDD ALLOW SINGLE-FAMILY AND TOWNHOME USES BY RIGHT AS WELL AS MANY COMMERCIAL USES SUCH AS A PACKAGE STORE, RESTAURANT,
VETERINARY OFFICE AND CONVENIENCE STORES. >> IS THE THE DEVELOPER WANTED TO COME IN AND PUT 275 MULTI-UNITS ON HIS PROPERTY HE COULD DO THAT?
>> . >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> ONE NOTE TO THAT.
FOR ANY MULTIFAMILY THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A CONDITIONAL USE.
THE DENSITY CERTAINLY ALLOWS FOR A TOWNHOME SIMPLE TOWNHOME. WHAT IS A PLAN FOR THIS BEING
EXTENDED? >> THE PLAN IS TO CONNECTED TO THE OUTER LOOP WHICH WOULD ACTUALLY ENTER RICHMOND ROAD AT THE EXISTING AND JUST BEFORE THE TREATMENT PLANT AND GO
NORTH AND SOUTH. IT WILL END WHERE IT ENDS NOW. >> WHAT IS A GENERAL TIMEFRAME
FOR THAT? >> WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A SCHEDULE FOR THE OUTER LOOP.
WE TYPICALLY DISCUSS IT WITH THE CITY MANAGER DURING OUR BUDGET PROCESS.ASED ON THE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL REVISIT PROBABLY IN A YEAR OR TWO AND
IT CAME UP RECENTLY AT THE NORTH END. >> SHOULD THE TRAFFIC STUDY
[01:05:21]
REQUIRE ADDITIONAL LIENS? IT AFFECTS THE INTERSECTION AND THE STATE.>> WE WOULDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY WITH THE STATE ALLOWING THOSE CHANGES TO TAKE
PLACE. >> THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME PERMITTING
PROCESS AND REQUEST PERMISSION TO DO THOSE CHANGES. >> ESTATE TYPICALLY REQUIRES FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS IF THEY WERE TO SUBMIT A PUMP PERMIT THE STATE WOULD REQUIRE THE
TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY TO SUPPORT THAT REQUEST. >> ARE WE STILL IN TRAFFIC?
>> IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN TRAFFIC. >> NO.
>> I HEARD A LOT ABOUT HOW RICHLAND IS SO TRAFFIC ISSUES IN TERMS OF CAPACITY.
CAN YOU CHARACTERIZE WHAT LEVEL OF CAPACITY IT'S AT NOON? IS IT 110%? OR IS IT 50%? HOW MUCH CANNOT GROW WITHOUT CHANGING THE FOOTPRINT OF
RICHMOND ROAD? >> I DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL NUMBER.
>> A THREE LANE CAN CARRY ALMOST 13,000 VEHICLES PER DAY. AND STILL MAKE CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER FOR THE ROAD RIGHT NOW.
>> BASED ON THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS WE RECEIVED ON THE WORK WE'VE DONE AT THE
INTERSECTION IT IS SUFFICIENT. >> CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING THEM SORRY.
>> I WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT AND THE ENGINEER WHAT THEIR ANSWERS ARE TO SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS. QUICK SPIRIT SINCE THEN. EXCUSE ME FOR BRINGING THIS I WAS TRYING TO TAKE NOTES ON VARIOUS QUESTIONS THAT I HIRED. A FEW OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HEARD A COUPLE I CAN HANDLE VERY QUICKLY. ONE WAS A STORMWATER AGAINST THE CIPRO POINTE SUBDIVISION NORTH. YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU A SET OF CROSS-SECTIONS THAT SHOW THE BUFFER AND WE PROPOSED TO LEAVE IT UNDISTURBED.
IT IS OVER AND ABOVE THE REQUIRED EFFORT. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE DONE SOME PRELIMINARY GRADING AND THE GRADING DESIGN AND REALIZE THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY CONTINUE TO EXPAND THAT BUFFER. REALLY WHAT WE FOUND SO FAR IS THE MINIMUM BUFFER IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 50 FEET TO THE NORTH AND IN SOME PLACES BEGETS UP INTO PROBABLY THE 80 FOOT RANGE. WE WILL LEAVE WHATEVER WE CAN AND TRY TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
AS FAR AS THE BUFFER, THAT WOULD KIND OF COVER THAT STORMWATER IN THE SAME LOCATIO . WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO IS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STORM WATER RUNNING OFF OF THIS PROPERTY TO THE NORTH CURRENTLY AND INTO THE NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISION. WHEN OUR PROPOSAL IS TO ACTUALLY CUT THAT STORMWATER OFF AT THE EDGE OF THE BUFFER. THIS RUNOFF WILL BE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE WE WILL
[01:10:01]
CAPTURE EVERYTHING THAT DOESN'T FALL IN THE BUFFER ITSELF ALONG WITH THE UNDISTURBED BUFFER THE BUFFER ITSELF WILL ALSO INCREASE WHATEVER THE MAXIMUM UNDISTURBED THING THAT IS ACTUALLY BUFFERING AND HAVE TO BE REMOVED FOR GRADING REALLY WILL END UP WITH A SIGNIFICANT.I WAS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT SEEING WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO. LIZ HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS.
I THINK THIS COMMISSION AND SOME OF THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES SAW THE PROPOSAL THAT WE HAVE STARTED ALMOST A YEAR AGO. AT ONE POINT IT WAS SUBMITTED AS A TOWNHOME SUBDIVISION. I THINK ESSENTIALLY THE SAME DENSITY.
DURING THE TIME TO THE FEEDBACK WHICH WE RECEIVED BECAUSE WE REALLY WOULD LIKE SOME NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL. SOMETHING THAT BRINGS MORE THAN JUST ADDITIONAL RESIDENTS TO THE AREA. SOMETHING THAT THE RESIDENCE CAN UTILIZE AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE THIS COMMERCIAL CONCEPT CAME FROM. WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE COULD TO ANGLE THIS TOWARDS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTRAL AND FRIENDLY COMMERCIAL CONCEPT THAT WILL CATER NOT TO THE DRIVERS BUT TO THE DRIVERS OF RICHLAND.
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE THESE RESIDENTS CAN CONGREGATE AND FIND SOMETHING TO EAT OR BY THAT LAST THING THAT THEY NEED ON THEIR WAY HOME EVERY DAY. AFTER TAKING A STEP BACK FROM THE PROPOSED QUESTION WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT USE. I ALSO HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT A STATE ENVIRONMENTALASSESSMENT . I THINK SHE KNOWS AND I'M PROBABLY SPEAKING MORE TO THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA THEY DON'T PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT ASSISTANCE.
DELINEATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE WITH GEOTECHNICAL ADVANTAGE EVALUATIONS.
EVERYTHING IS WITHIN THE PARAMETERS PLUS THIS PROJECT HAD BEEN DESIGNED YET.
THIS IS AN ENTITLED EFFORT. A LOT OF THAT WILL BE HINDERED DURING THE ACTUAL DESIGN FOR ANYONE BEHIND ME THAT'S NOT USED TO THIS PROCESS. A LOT MORE INFORMATION IS TO BE GATHERED, PUT TOGETHER WITH THE ACTUAL DESIGN AND SUBMITTED TO THE CITY WITH THE STAFF IS ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS TO BE INVOLVED.
OTHER THAN THAT ARE AS ANY TRAFFIC RELATED CONCERNS. I BELIEVE MS. FRAZIER HAS ANSWERED ALMOST EVERYTHING. THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ECHO ON HER STATEMENT IS I KEEP HEARING ABOUT THE SHUCK ACCESS. THAT HASN'T BEEN ASKED FOR. IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.
WHAT MS. FRAZIER SAID REGARDING THE PROCESS. IT'S 100% ACCURATE.IT'S ON A PHONE CALL. THAT'S NOT A GO SIT DOWN WILL YOU DO THIS.
THIS IS A VERY LONG DRAWN OUT PROCESS TO FIND OUT WHETHER THEY WOULD EVEN BEGIN TO SUPPORT ANYTHING. MY PERSONAL FEELINGS AS IF THEY ARE NOT THAT'S REALLY THE
ISSUE. >> WHAT IF IT'S MADE AS A CONDITION TO REQUEST THAT ON THIS? I DO WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE OPENNESS.LIKE I SAID I DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DEVELOPER HERE WITH ME. I WILL PROBABLY ASK THEM TO COME THAT ESSENCE PROCESS. A FORMAL SUBMIT ALL, MAKING THAT A CONDITION OF APPROVAL IS DEPENDING ON HOW THAT CONDITION IS WORDED. A FORMAL SUBMIT ALL IF YOU DO GO TO THE DEALER TO GET TOLD WHY ARE YOU HERE TALKING TO ME? THAT IS A POSSIBILITY.
[01:15:02]
THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A VERY LONG SUBMITTAL PROCESS FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. TYPICALLY THE WAY THAT PROCESS WORKS IS THE ANSWER YOU GET IS THAT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT A PERMIT APPLICATION. I WOULD REALLY ASK THE DEVELOPER AND REPRESENTATIVE TO SPEAK TO THAT AS IT RELATES TO BEING A CONDITION OF APPROVAL AND WHAT THAT WOULD DO TO THEIR PROCESS AND THEIR SCHEDULE. ASK ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?>> MAY YOU HAVE THAT REPRESENTATIVE ADDRESS THAT ISSUE?>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE I'M TOLD WENDELL I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE DEVELOPER FOR THE PROJECT.
WITH REGARDS TO THE CONNECTION I'M NOT A TRAFFIC ENGINEER SO I HAVE TO KIND OF DIFFER TO MY CONSULTANTS TO ADVISE ME ON THE TECHNICAL NATURE OF IT IN THE PROCESS REQUIRED FOR SUCH REQUEST. AT THIS POINT IN TIME WHAT I CAN SAY IS WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THAT'S REALLY UP WHAT I CAN TELL YOU AT THIS POINT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. >> DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE NEED CLARIFIED? WE CAN PROCEED AMONG OURSELVES. THE FEW FACTS THAT STRIKE ME ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT'S BEING ZONED. IT'S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE THE MID 80S. THIS INTERSECTION IS A COMMERCIAL SITE.
LAND-USE PLANS SHOW THIS IS A MASTER PLANNED MIXED-USE GATEWAY CORE DOOR WITH AN INTENSIVE USE. IN MOST OTHER DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT WILL REGULATE THE STANDARDS FOR BUILDINGS THAT ARE SEEN TO ME THIS IS A, ALTHOUGH IT DOES HAVE SOME
ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS A VIABLE PROJECT. >> MOST OF THIS IS ALLOWED BY
RATE. >> IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO RECOGNIZE.
IF THE PROPOSAL IN A WAY WITH A VERY DENSE DEVELOPMENT IT'S THE RIGHT IN THIS PARTICULAR ZONE.
THAT HAS TO BE CONSIDERED AS WELL.HAT'S BECAUSE IT'S IN THE SAME WAY FOR ALL THESE
YEARS. >> I DON'T DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING YOU SAID.
PERSONALLY SITTING HERE LISTENING WE KNOW ABOUT RICHLAND ROAD BEFORE TONIGHT PRIOR TO THE INITIAISSUES OVER PAST FIVE YEARS AND SING THIS PROPOSAL I JUST FEEL THAT THE TRAFFIC SITUATION IS NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED HEREIN EVEN THOUGH THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE THAT IS INCUMBENT 'S COMMISSION TO SOLVE I CAN'T IN GOOD FAITH VOTE FOR THIS IN THE CONDITION THAT PRESENTLY PRESENTS ITSELF REGARDING TRAFFIC.
THAT IS MY REASON WHY WILL NOT BE VOTING IN FAVOR OF IT. >> THERE'S A PROCESS TO PUTTING THESE THINGS TOGETHER. ONE OF THE PROCESSES THAT TRAFFIC STUDY AND TO WORK WITH TRAFFIC STUDY TO MITIGATE PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THAT THAT PROCESS AS IT GOES THROUGH AND THINGS GET DONE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE OF A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS MITIGATED
TO SOME LEVEL. I CASE AND BEFORE THIS. >> THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A CONDITION TO MAKE A FORMAL REQUEST FOR A RIGHT IN
[01:20:03]
AND WRITE OUT ON SUG. IF THEY ADD THAT IT SHALL NOT STOP THE PROJECT BUT THAT IS MYREQUEST. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. >> I MOVED FOR APPROVAL WITH
CONDITIONS IN THE CONDITION THAT YOU PLACED ON THIS. >> I WILL SECOND THAT.
>> THE CONDITION AS THEY MAKE A REQUEST. >> A FORMAL REQUEST TO L..
IF THEY DENIED IT DOES NOT STOP THE PROJECT. >> THEY WILL HAVE TO DO SOME
REDESIGN. >> THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE. >> PLEASE READ IT AGAIN.
>> . >> THE MOTION TO APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS AND AT THE CONDITION THAT A FORMAL REQUEST BE MADE TO L. FOR A RIGHT IN AND WRITE OUT ONLY OFF SHUG JORDAN IF
DENIED IT WILL NOT STOP THE PROJECT. >> THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE.
>> I SECOND IT.ANY QUESTIONS . >> THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> AYE. >> AND HE OPPOSED SAY NUMBER. >> THE MOTION CARRIES.
[5. Conditional Use - District at Richland - PUBLIC HEARING CU-2023-018]
THE NEXT ITEM OF BUSINESS IS A CONDITIONAL USE RELATED TO THIS PROJECT.WHICH IS GOVERNMENT NOT TO THOSE THAT WANT TO LEAVE. >> THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR THE DISTRICT AT RICHLAND ROAD. THE ACCIIS SEEKING CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FOR THE SHOPPING CENTER USES. ONCE AGAIN THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SHUG JORDAN PARKWAY AND RICHLAND ROAD.
THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AGAIN IS THE MASTER PLANNED MIXED-USE ON THE NORTHERN PORTION AND GATEWAY CORE DOOR COMMERCIAL TO THE REMAINING SOUTHERN PORTION.
THE COMMERCIAL PORTION WILL BE PHASED TWO OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND WILL CONSIST OF 20,000 TOTAL SQUARE FEET. APPROXIMATELY 12,000 DEDICATED TO RESTAURANT AND 8000 GRAY FEET DEDICATED TO OFFICE SPACE. STAFF RECOMMENDS FORWARDING THIS REQUEST WITH RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL WITH THE COMMENTS. PHASE 1 WILL BE LANDSCAPED WITH
RESIDENTIAL. THAT'S IT. >> I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT SMALL GROCERY CONVENIENCE STOR , THERE WILL BE NO FUEL PUMPS CORRECT?
>> THAT IS CORRECT CLICK SUCH . >> DOES A DEVELOPER WISH TO
MAKE ANY COMMENTS? >> AND I HAVE HEARD AND CORRECTLY TO SAY ON TOP OF WHAT KRISTIAN HAS SAID. THE LANDSCAPING, JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE SITE WILL BE GRADED ALONG WITH THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION. IT IS OUR PROPOSAL TO PLACE THE PERIMETER LANDSCAPING FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT BUT MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE
INTERIOR LANDSCAPING TO THE COMMERCIAL WOULD NOT BE A PART. >> YOU'RE GOING TO SCRAPE IT
AND CREATE IT QUICKLY GOING TO SEE HER? >> YES WE WOULD GRADED AS ONE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT SO IT CAN BE COHESIVE AND FLOW TOGETHER WELL.
THEN IT WOULD BE RECEDED AND RE-VEGETATED WHILE WE TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE COMMERCIALS GOING TO PROCEED. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD THE
[01:25:01]
PERIMETER LANDSCAPING. >> THANK YOU. >> THIS REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING. I SHALL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW.DOES ANYONE WISH TO ADDRESS THE USES THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE IN THIS PROJECT?
>> I SEE NEW ONE SO I WILL CLOSE A PUBLIC HEARING. >> I HAVE A QUESTION AND I DON'T KNOW IF I KNOW HOW TO ASK IT CORRECTLY. IT'S PHASE 2. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS DOWN THE ROAD AND THEY WERE TO DECIDE THEY DID NOT WANT TO INCLUDE THE COMMERCIAL
THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK HERE? >> THEY WOULD HAVE TO COME
BACK AND MODIFY THE PD. >> AS PART OF THE TOTAL PARCEL WITH THE APPROVAL IS THERE ROOM
FOR IT DEVOTIONAL FAMILY? >> . >> THERE WOULD LIKELY BE WITH THE PDD YOU CAN TAKE IT ACROSS THE SITE UNLIKE TRADITIONAL PROJECTS FOR IT WOULD JUST BE A MULTIFAMILY PORTION. I THINK IT'S NINE POINT TWO PER ACRE AND OVERALL IT COULD ALLOW 9.5. THIS WOULD REQUIRE AN AMENDMENT THAT YOU HAVE A PRETTY SMALL
AREA TO DEVELOP THERE. >> AM A FAN OF NOT HAVING DRIVE-THROUGH ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE TRYING TO CREATE SOME KIND OF WALKABLE SPACE WITH THESE RESIDENTS AROUND COMMERCIAL. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT SPACE. I AM INTERESTED IN HOW THE TRAFFIC MIGHT FLOW IF YOU HAVE SOME DRIVE-THROUGH HERE.CAN I GO BACK TO THE DRAWING? THE LEFT. WHAT SEPARATES THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING FROM THE PARKING RATE THERE, THAT'S EXACTLY THE PART. WHAT CAN BE THERE? I CAN SEE SOME OF THIS THAT WE USE WITH THE DRIVE-THROUGH'S. IT IS LIKE TO SEE THE TRAFFIC AROUND THE OUTER PERIMETER OF WHAT'S GOING ON RATHER THAN SOMEHOW IT DUMPS IN THE MIDDLE AND WE GET CONGESTION.
>> I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL DRIVE-THROUGH LIKE FAST FOOD OR BANKS. WHAT THIS IS CONCEIVED AS, THERE ARE STAFF COMMENTS REGARDING THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WE COVERTHIS . ARE DOING HERE I HAVE A CENTRAL AREA FOR THE COMMERCIAL WHICH IS A USABLE OPEN WALKABLE AREA AND OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING.
YOU HAVE THOSE BUILDINGS CENTERED AROUND THAT USABLE OUTDOOR SPACE.
ON THE OTHER SIDE KIND OF BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE LARGER PARKING AREA FOR THE RESIDENTIAL, BEHIND ONE OF THOSE BUILDINGS WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS THAT IT DRIVE-THROUGH IS KIND OF REMOVED FROM THE USABLE OUTDOOR AREA. AND NOT SITUATIONALLY CAN DO IS HIDE THAT DRIVEWAY BEHIND THE COMMERCIAL USE. WHAT IT DOES IS IT SEPARATES THAT TRAFFIC FROM THE WALK ABILITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SOMEBODY THAT PULLS IN CAN JUST COME IN A CIRCLE AROUND AND NOT GET INTO THAT AREA. DRIVE-THROUGH THE REAR OF THAT BUILDING AND THAT DRIVER IS NOT VISIBLE FROM ANY OTHER LOCATIO .
>> THERE WAS THOUGHT GIVEN TO THAT AND STAFF COVERED AS A COMMON AS WELL.
>> THANK YOU. >> ANY MORE QUESTIONS? IS ANYONE PREPARED TO MAKE A

DEVELOPMENT THUS FAR. I HAVE ONE CONCERN AND I HOPE THAT IT CAN BE RESOLVED.I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO PUBLIC ENTRANCE TO THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT OFF OF MIRACLE ROAD. IF THAT IS CORRECT THAT MEANS THAT THESE HOMES WHERE THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF MIRACLE ROAD. THE NUMBER OF HOUSES OR

WE HAVE PATIENTLY WAITED FOR MIRACLE ROAD TO BE PAID WE WILL CONTINUE TO WAIT PATIENTLY FOR THIS RELATIVELY PAVED BECAUSE WE KNOW AT SOME POINT IN TIME IT WILL BE PAVED FROM DONAHUE UP TO THE FARMVILLE ROAD.I JUST WANT YOU TO CONSIDER THE FACT THAT WE DO HAVE RESIDENTS ON MIRACLE ROAD.
THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL ADD TO THE TRAFFIC ON MIRACLE ROAD AND ALTHOUGH I AM UP FARTHER AND NOT CLOSER TO THE DONAHUE SIDE OR THE SARAH LANE I DO HAVE TO TRAVEL MIRACLE ROAD.
I KNOW THE GENTLEMAN EARLIER SAID THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENT PROCESS IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER SOME NEW BUSINESS AND PERHAPS THIS IS NEW BUSINESS WITH THE REQUEST OF PAVING MIRACLE ROAD.

THIS IS ALWAYS BEEN A TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT. WE PLANNED ON HAVING PEOPLE STAY THERE THAT MAY COME IN TOWN THAT WE MAY NEED. EXECUTIVE YOU RENTED OUT TO COLLEGE KIDS FOR THAT TYPE OF USE. THERE'S NO SENSE OF PUTTING THE MONEY IN RESTORING THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND PUTTING IN A NEW ROOF IF IT CAN'T BE USED FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT A GARAGE OR ANY TYPE OF STRUCTURE LIKE THAT.
IT NEEDS A LOT OF RENOVATIONS AND OBVIOUSLY WE WILL GET THROUGH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION APPROVAL FOR THOSE THINGS. WE WILL SPEND A LOT OF TIME TO FIX IT IT'S REALLY A GREAT LOCATION AND A NEAT BUILDING. THAT'S WHAT THE USES THAT WE ARE DOING. THE PROPERTY BEHIND HERE IS ALSO COMMERCIAL BUT HAS
RESIDENTIAL USE ALSO. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

IT'S ON ACADEMY DRIVE AND THEY GET TO WORK. THERE IS ACTUALLY A POLICE OFFICER THAT IS STATIONED EVERY MORNING AND AFTERNOON. THERE'S ALSO NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT OPENED UP AS WELL. IT'S ABOUT THE TRAFFIC THAT WILL BE GOING INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE WILL NEED TO DEAL WITH IT GOING IN AND OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THESE HAVE A HARD TIME IN THE MORNING IF THERE IS ANY PARKING ON THE STREETS WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED FIRE HOA. I AM IN THE STONECREEK HOA. THAT SMALL PART RIGHT THERE WILL BE A PART OF OUR HOA SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WILL BE A SAFE WAY FOR KIDS TO GET ON THE BUS. I ALSO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STORM WATER.
RIGHT BEHIND MY HOUSE IS A DRY CREEK BED. WHEN IT RAINS A LOT THERE BECOMES A CREEK AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY WILL BE PUTTING IN MORE PARKING AND GETTING RID OF THE WILD AREA THERE. ALSO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE BUFFER ZONE. THEY WILL HOPEFULLY CONSIDER THIS.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE NEIGHBORS LOOKING RIGHT INTO MY BACKYARD. THE NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET FROM US HAD SIMILAR TOWNHOMES PUT IN, I'M GUESSING RECENTLY. THEY HAVE FINISHED FIVE OF THEM ACROSS THE STREET. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MANY THEY WILL PUT IN.

>> THERE YOU ARE. >> HERE I AM.
>> OKAY. THIS IS A WAIVER REQUEST FOR A LANDSCAPE STREET BUFFER YARD ON A DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS APPROVED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN APRIL FOR A COMMERCIAL SUPPORT USE, A DATA CENTER. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 406 WEST VETERANS BOULEVARD ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THE REQUEST IS TO THE STREET BUFFER TO MAINTAIN THE VEGETATION THAT IS THERE CURRENTLY AND NOT REQUIRE THE TREE AND SHRUB THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE THE CASE.
SO AS YOU MATE RECALL FROM APRIL, DATA CENTERS ARE PRETTY SECURE AND PRIVATE COMPANIES, AND THEY ARE ONLY DISTURBING ABOUT 23% OF THE PROPERTY. SO A MAJORITY OF THAT PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE UNDISTURBED, AND THAT INCLUDES THE STREET.
HERE IS WHAT THE AREA LOOKS LIKE NOW.
THE ONLY PORTIONS OF VETERANS THAT WILL BE DISTURBED WILL BE THE ENTRANCES, AND THERE WILL BE TWO.
AND DUE TO THOSE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THEIR WANTING TO MAINTAIN THAT AREA, WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS WAIVER. AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS?

SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE LANDSCAPER.
FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, YOU SEE HOW BIG THE TREE COVER.
WE'VE GOT REALLY GOOD VEGETATION.
WE'RE NOT TOUCHING THAT. ACCORDING TO THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WHO HAS BEEN ON SITE TAKING THE MEASUREMENTS, WE WOULD BE PLANTING BUSHES INSIDE THE EXISTING TREE LINE.
JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU.
THERE IS NO HEARING REQUIRED ON THIS ONE, SO WE CAN MOVE TO
APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS. >> SECOND.
>> MOTION MADE AND SECONDED. AND IT WILL BE APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS. ALL IN FAVOR SAY HIGH.
