Event transcript
OK, very cool. Welcome everybody. This is in your Planning Commission. I am standing in for K Edmondson, who is absent at the 00:00:00
meeting today. Umm, it is April 17th and it is 6:02 PM. Uh, we'll get right into things. I will give us an invocation and, uh, 00:00:08
budget allegiance, alright. 00:00:15
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, 00:00:24
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:30
Thank you. 00:00:38
Generally, father, we're thankful that we could be here today to discuss the things that concern our city. Please watch this will 00:00:42
feel inspired as to the things that we need to do. We're thankful for those that are invested in the city that are, uh, trying to 00:00:47
make this better place. We're thankful for, uh, those that volunteer their time and efforts and especially our umm, police force 00:00:53
and fire. Uh, please bless them. We love you and we save these things and the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 00:00:59
All right, moving straight into public comments, Is there any public comments you can come up to the microphone? Have any comment? 00:01:06
No. All right, we'll move into no consent items, business items 5.1, the GRMU office building site plan. 00:01:13
OK, perfect. I have, I think I have all three items and I still, OK, brief presentation here just to give you some context of this 00:01:22
plan and, uh, just as an update from the staff report, I've received some updated documents on the site plan and landscaping. So 00:01:29
what you'll see here should be the most up to date accurate, umm, as to what has been committed. Uh, here's context for this. 00:01:36
Where this location will be, it'll be I, I believe two blocks north of the Mr. Car wash right on Team Road off to the West. 00:01:43
We're gonna have that Edgewater residential parking lot that they're working on right now. Umm, and then we just got a site plan 00:01:51
for a, uh, auto parts store to be right here on the north side of the car wash. Another auto parts. Yeah, OK, so. 00:01:58
Uh, to three blocks north of O'Reilly. So they said they like to be three each other. 3 units, yes, 3. 00:02:06
So, and then directly north is, will be the, umm, office building, right? So here is the site plan for the like, like I said, it's 00:02:15
most updated. Umm, what you saw on the Stockport didn't include this, uh, little landscape island in the parking lot. Umm, one of 00:02:21
the original conditions of approval was they weren't provided the 20% site landscaping. Umm, and so they did take out some parking 00:02:28
to accommodate that back here. Umm, and then they had to adjust some of the parking here. 00:02:34
As well as they shifted the building and then you'll see right here they have the bike racks right in front of the building. Umm, 00:02:41
as far as the site goes, they do have the, the zone. It's the DRMU does require a 15 foot uh, step back from Geneva road and 00:02:48
they've provided that umm and it's all landscaped and looks really nice. Umm, one of the, the conditions of approval that I have 00:02:56
on umm is about creating some sort of entrance off of Geneva Rd. Umm that will mostly be for like employees of. 00:03:03
When we get that trail and we can work on connecting all of these, OK, Umm. 00:03:41
Anyways, so like I said, feel free to stop me when, whenever, on any sides. If you do have any questions, here is the landscaping 00:03:47
page. Well, oh, sorry, I I have questions related to parking. I wanna make sure you're Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, you can. Thanks. 00:03:53
Umm, real quick, uh, total number of parking spaces, uh, I believe 73 and that uh, requirement is 71. So there are two above the 00:04:00
requirements, Perfect. And that's the standard for any office building, correct? Yeah. Regard, umm, regardless of what tenants 00:04:07
might be there, correct? Yeah. We, we have kind of a shell like office, uh, use in our parking code. I believe that's one for 250, 00:04:15
uh, square feet of interior use. Perfect. Thanks. Yeah and they, they original, the original plan did so I think 83 parking. 00:04:22
So like I said, with shifting the building and this landscape island back here, they did move out on some of them, but they're 00:04:30
still above the code on that. 00:04:34
As far as landscaping goes, they may not meet the code. They've done it really well, a really good job of of surrounding the 00:04:39
building with great quality landscaping that meets our our standards. Umm, to the West here we do have that parking lot that will 00:04:45
also have a four foot landscape buffer as well as a fence that they will border up against umm. 00:04:51
But besides that, uh, yeah, it, it overall looks great on the landscaping. What kind of fence are they doing on that side? On 00:04:58
which one? On the West side? Uh, I believe it's a raw iron on the, the, it's the parking lot. They're the ones who have to put in 00:05:04
the Oh, they're the ones. Yeah, Yep. 00:05:09
So here's some elevations of the building. Umm, one thing in the DRMU that does require the ground floor to get to contain at 00:05:19
least 30%, uh, transparent glass. And they've met that requirement here. 00:05:24
Time if it's lit up by like 10:00 PM or something like that. 00:05:59
Umm, so the South and the north elevation. So the South elevation will have two, uh, ground floor entrances in the north elevation 00:06:05
will have one entrance. 00:06:11
And then here's the E salvation facing Geneva Rd. Umm, as you can see, there's, there's not an entrance on this yet. That's why 00:06:18
place places as a condition of approval. Umm, and then we'll work with them when they submit building permit to get an update on 00:06:23
that. 00:06:27
That reflects that 15 foot genuine Rd. set back and the 20% requirement and they've done that as well. So then the other two that 00:07:04
that we're including is an updated elevation page and site plan with each pedestrian walkway and entrance. Umm, and we'll have 00:07:09
that we're, we're requesting to have that prior to the issuance, so the building permit. And then the last one, another kind of 00:07:15
standard one that all site lighting will be downlet and light poles may not extend above 20 feet, which these current lines are, 00:07:20
uh, compliant with. So. 00:07:25
That is all I have if you guys have any questions. Applicant is also here. I don't know if they've joined on teams yet or not. 00:07:32
Alright. 00:07:38
Oh, I'm in a meeting alone. Mm-hmm. 00:07:42
Maybe I sent them the wrong link, but it, it, if you could, umm, on the slides refer to the site plan again and can you indicate 00:07:45
where that eastern pedestrian walkway and entrance is again? So we're, we're still in discussions with them of where that would 00:07:53
best fit with the intended use. Umm, just how they split up the ground floor. Umm, and that'll happen usually at, at the building 00:08:00
plans that they do the tenant improvements. They're gonna figure out how they wanna break up that ground floor, umm, and which. 00:08:08
Umm, kind of side of the building would be best fit for that. OK, I, I'm, so it's, uh, just an entrance to the building and the 00:08:16
eastern pedestrian walkway is just kind of a protected way to walk through the parking lot. And so, so the, sorry, the, the 00:08:22
walkway is just gonna be, you know, a little bit of sidewalk weather. If you know, the door to the building is gonna be right 00:08:28
here. It's a little sidewalk. It just goes out to that future trail. 00:08:34
That their own consultant someday. Can you show the overall, umm, the map one of your earlier slides? Oh the contact, yes, thank 00:08:41
you. 00:08:46
Yep. So OK. Yep, that's context I needed. Thank you. Yep. 00:09:21
Don't have any questions. 00:09:25
No, any other questions? OK, I don't have any questions. I think building looks good. Uh, do I have a motion? Umm, do you need to? 00:09:27
Is this a public hearing? It's not No. OK umm, then I have a page here. I think that's good. Uh, I, yeah, I'll make the motion. 00:09:35
I'll move to approve, uh, the GRMU office building site plan application as requested by Joe 70 with Office Development Group with 00:09:42
the proposed. 00:09:50
Uh, conditions of approval that were shown tonight, including the two that were stripped off perfect. Do you have a second second 00:09:58
all in favor? Aye, that passes. So just for the applicant, I will send you a letter hopefully tomorrow, five time, umm, just kind 00:10:04
of outlining the next steps in the process. So. 00:10:10
You're all good. Cool. Thank you. 00:10:17
Moving on to item 5.2, the Eastlake Warehouse Lot 1 site plan. Alright. 00:10:26
And once again, we do have our applicants here, uh, Brett and Chris. 00:10:32
So here's a site contact of where we're talking, umm, off screen over here in the top left is the power plant that helps you. Umm, 00:10:37
so we have 1750 is kind of that main road view, and this is where these two buildings will front. 00:10:43
So here are the two buildings that they're proposing for the site plan. It'll be two warehouse buildings. Umm, I believe it's 00:10:50
totaling, umm, just under 115,000 square feet of warehouse space. Umm, once again with our parking, we kind of have a, a shell 00:10:57
building, umm, standard that I think it's one per 300 square feet of space in that parking stall. And they're, I think 20 or 30 00:11:05
stalls above that. They're providing umm, adequate parking, you could say umm. 00:11:12
For the site. 00:11:20
Umm, here's their landscaping plan. Umm, it it meets our standards. They're going to currently actually, if you drive up there 00:11:23
right now or bike up there. 00:11:28
Orvac, however you wanna get up there, uh, there, there is currently a fence along this road and they're gonna be taking out that 00:11:34
fence and they're gonna be putting up a, a three foot berm and then putting in all this landscaping there to, to shield it. Umm, 00:11:40
our code does require like all these parking, umm, spaces are shielded and they've done a, a good job of that. Umm, as far as how 00:11:45
the site will work, you do have three points of access to the building. So you'll have the, the westernmost, the center and the 00:11:51
eastern. 00:11:56
And the center one is is mostly going to be for semi truck traffic. 00:12:02
Because they have all the loading dock facing the, the center of the two buildings. So most employees or visitors will be using 00:12:06
these two other entrances. Umm, one thing that we did want to talk about, umm, and, and we have been kind of working with them and 00:12:12
we've put this just as a conditional approval so that we can umm, figure out the best way to do this is figure out this access 00:12:17
point at the center. Umm, if you'll notice to the north, we have two other access points onto 1750 Umm, and then we have this S 00:12:23
curve in on the road. 00:12:29
Hard to, to align umm to either one of these up here as that would be kind of the preferred method. But as you can see, it's 00:13:05
really hard to do that. Umm, and if you go along 1750, frankly, none of the businesses, none of the access points are aligned umm. 00:13:12
So we're, we're just trying to make it as, as safe as possible. 00:13:18
Umm, OK, so here are the elevations and I will note the question, Yeah. 00:13:26
UMM have traffic studies and are returning radius studies been completed to make sure that semi trucks can handle that term 00:13:31
turning left or right? 00:13:34
We run them down there all day every day. That's a good, that's a, that's a better study than what you do in cats. So I think 00:13:39
that's fine. 00:13:43
Yeah, that, that road is very wide, 1750 is. 00:13:50
Very well. 00:13:54
They did a fine job. 00:13:57
OK, No, I just wanted that on record that it can handle that. That's great. Thanks. OK, so here here are the elevations for the 00:13:59
buildings. I will note the blue there is just windows, it is not blue paint. I just want to make sure that. 00:14:06
Umm, so as you can see, it's, it's pretty standard for the buildings that are up there. Umm, they have a good use of changes of, 00:14:14
of height of the building of, of materials of, of color. They've included the awnings there as well. And it meets our standards 00:14:20
for the, the zoning district. 00:14:25
And so here's the condition of approval once again, those same three, uh, paying the outstanding fees and red line corrections are 00:14:32
subject to all federal, state and local laws. They must reserve all ADA requirements. 00:14:38
Umm, and then here's that, uh, the applicant will work with the engineering department to determine a safe location of the center 00:14:44
Dr. access off 1750 N prior to the issuance of building permit. Umm, and then the last one they just told me is they walked into 00:14:51
this building. Is there, we want them to submit an updated site plan with the required bicycle parking in each building. And they, 00:14:57
I think just emailed it to me prior to this meeting. So I should have that, but we can keep into the condition and it's fine. So. 00:15:04
Do you guys have any questions? No, any more questions for me? 00:15:16
No, I, I, I failed to think the last applicant. I'm sorry, but thank you guys. Umm, being responsive to staff comments and. 00:15:21
Something pretty a good job. I do wanna ask, uh, do you guys have a rough estimate of when you do wanna start construction and 00:15:29
tomorrow, OK. 00:15:33
So we're gonna put this off? 00:15:39
We'll continue this. 00:15:45
My son went to the, uh, what was three, uh, halfway open up on the 1003. Yeah, yeah. So. So yeah, it'll work for you soon. Yeah. 00:15:47
It's gotta be your family, right? No, but what? 00:15:54
Yeah, well, the reason I wanna thank you for this is some people might not look at like warehouse type things as saying, oh, 00:16:03
that's the sexiest settlement to come into our city, but it's jobs and you know, and that's the most important thing right now. 00:16:09
And so that's why I will always support, uh, things like that because diversity of jobs brings diversity of community and that's 00:16:15
whatever community drives on. So thank you for that. So with that, I, I do move to approve this. 00:16:22
Mm-hmm. 00:16:29
That's why I wanna make sure you hear it. 00:16:31
So I move to approve the East Lake warehouse, uh, Lot 1 site plan application as requested by uh, Chris Kephart and Brett Wood 00:16:35
with the conditions of approval that have been presented by staff tonight. Awesome. Thank you. Nate. Do I have a second? 00:16:41
Second Brad all in favor Aye, aye. All right, cool. Thank you guys once again I'll I'll send you guys a letter just an e-mail that 00:16:50
outline some of the next step you guys know what to do on that so. 00:16:56
OK. Thank you. Have a good night. All right, moving on to 5.3, the Orchard site plan amendment, we have cruising for you. 00:17:03
That's what it doesn't look like the applicant is here, unfortunately. Umm, this is 30 more conditions. So this is home center 00:17:12
construction. We have uh, Michaelson, umm, and then Karen's playmaker, I believe is the applicant here. Umm, so a little 00:17:18
background on this site plan amendment is back. Uh, a few months ago they were requesting some certificate, certificates of 00:17:24
occupancy on the townhomes, umm, that are just off the center street right by the center St. overpass. Umm, and as Anthony and I 00:17:30
went out there to do our inspection. 00:17:36
We know that the landscaping was completely different than what was approved back in 2016, so. 00:17:42
Price So we, we held them up on, on that, uh, certificate of occupancy until they get the pipeline amendment approved or they 00:17:50
provided a bond and they, they did go with the bond. This is something we, I don't think we can do anymore. Umm, so they didn't 00:17:55
provide that bond and essentially they want their money back. Umm, and so we're just gonna go over the, the landscaping here. What 00:18:01
I did is I broke this up into full quadrant because it's, it's a very detailed plan and that way you can kind of see the, the 00:18:06
changes. 00:18:12
Umm Oh, this is actually a good start to start with. Umm. 00:18:18
I just looked at how much landscaping they originally proposed, which was 37%, and they're as built. So what is there now? It's 00:18:22
29.5. So it is down quite a bit. But then if you look at the bottom, the total number of grass and shrubs increased almost double, 00:18:28
and same thing with trees, they've almost doubled that count as well. So while it is a less percentage of landscaping, it's 00:18:34
essentially a lot more quality of landscaping. 00:18:40
Umm so you can see less grass which is is also good umm. 00:18:48
A little bit less stone mulch, umm, fewer shrubs, but a lot more annual. Umm, no, like wild grasses, a ton of roses. Umm, and 00:18:52
you'll see that in the plan. It is, there's just a kind of plan. Good question. If there's less grass and stone mulch, then what's 00:18:59
the pavement sidewalk? OK, so here's this first quadrant and, and what I did is it's like that like game you play as a kid where 00:19:06
you have like 2 images and you have to find what's different. 00:19:13
That's what I did here to hopefully show you everything highlighted in red. 00:19:22
Is is technically different, Umm, not to say that it's it's bad or good, but it is just different. Umm, the list is as built less 00:19:25
is no less is what was proposed or what was approved. The right is going to be the as built Umm, and and also I would just went 00:19:33
there before this meeting. I took some pictures. Let me see if I can show you uh, well, let's stick with this umm, and, and I can 00:19:40
kind of go over these. So along with the the western side there umm, they had a large. 00:19:48
So I believe shrubs, they removed all those and just placed a tree. Then you have those six trees right there off to the right of 00:19:55
that. They replaced those with shrubs. So they kind of switch those. Umm, and you can see that in this picture here off to the 00:20:01
left, you'll see all those screens lining it and then you do see the shrubs off to the right. Umm, going back to this, which trees 00:20:08
are supposed to be next to the sidewalk then, correct? Yep. And now they're not right? Yep. 00:20:14
Umm, the next circles are going to be umm, these three umm, sidewalks pieces. 00:20:21
So essentially they were going to be connecting this development onto the sidewalk on the Center St. Instead they put up a six 00:20:29
foot rod iron fence. And so by doing that, it removes all that sidewalk and just put in umm, landscaping. So rather than the 00:20:35
sidewalk connecting here here, you know, it just kind of connects over this way and then down into this asphalt. 00:20:42
Umm, And they used to have some plantings here and they replaced that with this little like, almost like patio. It's just a 00:20:50
concrete area, umm. 00:20:54
And they wanna keep them from running out into Center Street. That fence does a really good job of that. Umm but also it does 00:21:30
really, you know, if somebody lives here in the first building and their kid goes to Franklin Elementary right over here, rather 00:21:35
than, you know, a little walk down the street, they're having to walk, or frankly, Dr. since their development to get to school. 00:21:40
Umm, But like I said, that's in the year. So we can discuss these conditions and I can propose them to them, umm, as part of this 00:21:45
approval. 00:21:51
Umm, other few things. The the buildings here in the middle kind of create this little courtyard. 00:21:57
Umm, what's what's really hard to see on the new plans is because there are so many plans, it's really hard to see umm, the 00:22:03
details. Where is this old plan? You know it has a big tree right here over here. It doesn't show it, but there is actually trees 00:22:10
in that area and I do have pictures of these little courtyards. Umm, but it is a little different. So there's one section. 00:22:17
That picture again and you can kind of see right here that that like cement concrete, sorry, concrete courtyard. 00:22:26
Umm, here's the next section. So you can see once again they have these sidewalks that they just removed. Umm, and then this area 00:22:35
right here, the landscaping is, is a little bit different. They, they don't have nearly as much in this quadrant as as what is 00:22:41
right here. 00:22:47
The next quadrant says to be the southwest once again, the same thing with the, the shrubs and trees that just kind of flipped 00:22:56
those. The courtyard here is a little bit different and I think the next part should have a picture of that courtyard to give you 00:23:02
an idea of what it looks like. Umm, some trees we're we're missing down here and then the, the sidewalk down here no longer 00:23:08
connects. Umm, which is a little strange because they do have parking right here. 00:23:14
Quite a bit of extra like desk parking and it doesn't connect at all. You have to like walk around a fence to get to it. Umm. 00:23:20
So here's that courtyard so you can see they they have trees all throughout the courtyards and it is landscaped rather well with 00:23:28
with some plants. Umm. 00:23:32
And then this is that last section, umm, same thing, you know, the sidewalk doesn't quite connect anymore. Umm, this retention 00:23:39
pond. At first I thought that that they removed all those streams, but as you can see, they, they have them on this. And so I went 00:23:44
there and took a picture and you can see that's actually planted a lot of trees around there, but the new plants just, it doesn't 00:23:50
look as big because they changed the shapes on them. 00:23:56
So. 00:24:02
That is all I have for them so we can have a discussion what what you guys would like to see if you do want to see some changes, 00:24:05
umm, I can run it by them and, and let them know that you know they, they want that bond back. We need to see some, some changes 00:24:10
if, if there are any so. 00:24:15
A couple of questions, if that's OK. Could you go to the slide that shows the table comparing the approved idea? So that's like 00:24:21
two, Yeah, umm. 00:24:25
So that's showing that the approved plan originally had 44 trees and they've already planted 77, correct? That's a significant 00:24:31
increase. Yeah, because at first I got really concerned seeing the percent landscape number go down this budget, right? But what 00:24:38
they're doing is decreasing graph, adding so many trees. 00:24:46
And a whole lot of annual. So, umm, while initially I would say I was really concerned that I'm looking at this a little bit more. 00:24:54
I'm going well, maybe I'm not as concerned. It's not so much a we're decreasing as it is for changing, right? Yeah. And, and as I 00:25:02
mentioned this, this is approved all the way back in 2016. And, and so a lot of things change. You know, I'm, I wouldn't describe 00:25:09
this as a whole new designer who did this well. And I wanna remind everyone that the way. 00:25:17
We think of how much water we use in irrigating grass is different now than it was absolutely as well. Umm. 00:25:24
So yeah, I don't wanna speak for everyone there, I just wanted to call that out that it is a big increase in your yeah one area 00:25:32
you can see like this is a good example. They had a lot of landscaping right up here and they removed those 3 trees and all the 00:25:39
landscaping and put hardscape in instead. So that's kind of those areas where why decreased 7% was was areas like that. And remind 00:25:46
me, are these umm, the, the townhomes? Are they gonna be on our occupied or are they rentals as of right now they. 00:25:54
Rentals umm, they still look at all one big flat or they individually platted you. They are individually platted and the majority 00:26:01
of these trees are in common area yes. So there's nature way or if there's nature way and they're they're working on there. I 00:26:08
think they might have the billing permit for their clubhouse that they're gonna start constructing soon. It's been noticed I'm 00:26:15
assuming OK, umm I that means also with all of this landscaping changes or. 00:26:21
Additions that they're doing, umm, maintenance of it and code enforcement in case tree dies. When we wanna, we wanna make sure. 00:26:29
We hold them to it to be a joy, not to the individual residents because it's something joy, right? And then there will always, 00:26:35
even if they do switch to a more owner occupied, umm, business model here once again, it would be that HOA that still maintains 00:26:42
all that common area. So I believe that clubhouse is maybe this lot right here. OK, that's where my comment. Thank you. Yeah, 00:26:48
they, they are individually private. So, uh, a couple of things, umm. 00:26:55
I will go back to the numbers of everything. 00:27:03
Umm, I do appreciate that there are more trees as far as the caliper of the trees, is it the same all 2 inch, which is our, umm, 00:27:08
minimum annual, uh, that's a huge number, but annual die every year We have to be replanted every single year. So that's kind of 00:27:14
let me, let me show you I might have. 00:27:20
I I might have missed. 00:27:27
With those numbers, are the majority of OK? 00:27:32
They're not animals, I mean, so I don't know plants that well. OK, I, I would've, no, I'm gonna say that's weird that they've 00:27:38
given you a number of annual. It's uh, in my defense, they're they originally just had like one of these labels, just like three. 00:27:44
I know that's not I need more description. OK, OK, alright, so here's yeah, this is a breakdown of of what there and you can see 00:27:51
things red, red bus, eastern and the blue spruce that make up those 77 trees. OK. 00:27:57
Yeah, O obviously our code enforcement officers can't go and count individual goals, right Flowers uh, could you speak 10 years 00:28:04
from now? What kind of enforcement is done to ensure the landscape plan is for the most part consistent with what we see here? 00:28:13
Yeah, unfortunately it is hard for us to to lever any tools to enforce that if. 00:28:21
Their if their landscaping is in compliance with our code, which our code pretty much says you can have we above 4 inches. 00:28:30
Umm, because what, what we essentially can do is if the development comes in and they submit this landscaping plan and it doesn't 00:28:35
meet our standards, you know, as, as I go out there and I can count every plant to make sure that they're, you know, planting all 00:28:41
1000 big lilies or whatever, we can hold them to it. We right, right. But and then essentially that's where we can hold it to 00:28:47
them. It's before we issue them that certifi certificate of occupancy. 00:28:52
If we don't do it before, then it is really hard to hold them to these standards to make sure that they put place all these trees 00:28:59
and they planted all these other plants. Umm, but our code enforcement, like I said, if, if the property starts to be in decline 00:29:06
and they aren't taking care of the plant, then then we are able to to issue some citations to get them to do stuff. But mostly 00:29:13
it's just make sure there's no weeds or trash. You know, we can't force them to replant all the trees that they've planted. 00:29:20
Umm, if they all died, we just don't have that in our code to to allow that. I, I can check with our attorney to see if there's 00:29:29
anything that yeah, that would allow us to approve a landscape time. Usually there's some power to enforce that landscape. Yeah. 00:29:35
I, I, I can look more into that to see if there's something that we could do. So biggest concern is with that many trees, right. 00:29:42
Once if it changes ownership, if it changes, manage management, making sure that they say, OK, well, rocks look good there. 00:29:49
Sure, sure. Umm, and I'm kind of bound to that. The applicant's not here umm, because I wanna know why they didn't make those 00:29:57
connections with sidewalk Uh, I. 00:30:03
I think that the connection should be there, but if they have some kind of reasoning that makes sense and. 00:30:08
And the team Patrick today by chance talk to you about these connections at all the that go from the the townhomes to Center 00:30:16
Street, they have the sidewalk. 00:30:20
Nothing. 00:30:26
We have investment. There's a six foot fence now. 00:30:29
Open up the fence and put in a gate. I would recommend putting in yeah we, we can put that as a condition that you need the exact 00:30:40
same sensing material and put it hinge on it yeah So yeah, if you wanted to see, you know, maybe one on the the north side here 00:30:46
and then one on the the east side here yeah we, we could do that as a condition. But yeah like I said, this comes down to uh, the 00:30:52
side plan that they followed on this like cash. This thing was like. 00:30:58
262016 yeah. How many eight years, eight years ago, the one that we're calling that, that, uh, site plan. And then the other 00:31:04
aspect on it would be that's, uh, doing, umm, sidewalk connection, sidewalk connections along there. Uh, I mean connections, uh, 00:31:11
through there. Uh, currently, uh, see, I think before, when it was done, the fence was Jacobi City maintained. And I'll tell you 00:31:19
what the city we want to have with you, uh, moving parts and so forth. 00:31:26
There, I think we're working with them, uh, to have that, uh, make sure that that fence is uh, maintained by, it's, it's not 00:31:34
already maintained by the HOA. How many entrances are there into the community, into the community itself, uh, into the 00:31:40
neighborhood. There's this one, essentially, there is this one down here, but it, I don't think it goes anywhere right now. So 00:31:47
this is that main entrance right here. 00:31:53
Yeah, the other aspect here again, it kinda comes down to the, uh, to the, the development so forth. So. 00:32:00
Having a sense sometimes having a fence right behind your uh, like umm. 00:32:07
Might kind of share a backyard, umm, may not be as attractive as well. Uh, and uh, I mean, people have personal preferences on, 00:32:14
you know, uh, access and so forth. Uh, I know my backyard where all the kids are going through. I've been not allowed out and my, 00:32:21
that's my personal, uh, my personal health. The original plan, did they have gates and they were removed? No, I don't believe 00:32:28
there's a fence on the original plan. My understanding is no, it has a public seat. 00:32:36
Additionally, I imagine public safety review the plans. 00:32:43
Back in 2016? I would hope so. That's before I think Verizon 2016. 00:32:47
So my reason for asking that is I'd love to hear Fryer's opinion on having them. So the, the whole development will it has the, 00:32:58
let's see if I, yeah, typically the fire, when the fire department, uh, reviews access and so forth, they review the main roads, 00:33:05
uh, through to be accessing it from off center St. uh, percentage. It was, uh, they were as long as, umm. 00:33:13
The fire department has access from the internal St. that's. 00:33:21
To our, uh, to keep to me and so forth and accessible by FI accessible for early fire trucks. Now there is oftentimes that the 00:33:54
those connections were not even noticeable from by anybody else. No vehicle, no productions. We even know that there was answers 00:34:01
there. The fire department was the ones who actually knew that it was back, way back entrance. I understand. I was just trying to 00:34:07
see if they waited on this and if there is sufficient. Yeah. 00:34:13
For the bill in the background, I mean, they do the billing permits every time they do the billing permits, uh, uh, regardless of 00:34:21
how old, uh, how old, uh. 00:34:25
May have been approved every time they pull billing permit. Uh, the fire department is required to review that, yeah. 00:34:29
So. 00:34:36
Either way. 00:34:37
And it's the fire department here in like my last fire departments where, uh, we ran our own vehicle maintenance, uh, repair shop. 00:34:39
Uh, I always have fire truck inside there because they decide to run into one bar another wall. I, I say for fun, the police 00:34:45
officers always have reason to run through cars. 00:34:51
So I guess another question I had, do you happen to have numbers of like how much square footage is landscaped square footage 00:35:00
versus how much isn't now? Because it seems like they added parking in some places that would have been so like a total site. Umm. 00:35:09
I don't think that this site plan let me actually pull this back up and see if this shows it. 00:35:19
Yeah, as you can see, like they added this parking right here and the ad built and that doesn't even exist in this section, umm, 00:35:30
on the, the, the approved plans, because I think that's part of the different pod. Umm and so this section, I don't believe they 00:35:36
added any additional parking and they removed landscaping for parking. Yeah, the only the part that I was just mostly noticing is 00:35:43
on the South side. 00:35:50
Development, They added angled parking where they had parallel parking. Oh, right here, right by building 12. Yeah. And I feel 00:35:58
like there's one more spot. 00:36:03
Adjust to the West of there. 00:36:10
Like the numbers don't make sense to me. 00:36:43
Uh, with. 00:36:48
If you go back to the numbers and everything, it shows the rock and the. 00:36:50
Stone mulch. Umm yeah, them getting rid of that much grass and stone also. I just wasn't seeing it, but let me. 00:36:55
This gives you a breakdown of the. 00:37:06
All of the the different types of UMM area within that and do they have that for both? I, I let me look to see if I can find that 00:37:10
real quick today UMM approved one. 00:37:15
OK, yeah, I see it. 00:37:32
I have salt on here. Yeah, I was gonna say, I think that they didn't include asphalt or hearts like sidewalks on there. 00:37:36
Umm. 00:37:48
Because you're right, I think that is a what, like a 16,000 square feet different. 00:37:53
And I'm, yeah, I'm, I don't wanna see. I'm not exactly sure where that that is made-up because I'm sure it's not just sidewalk, 00:38:00
OK. 00:38:04
And again, it would be awesome if the developer was here so that we could ask them these questions. Uh. 00:38:09
Do you guys have any questions? Uh, I just wanted to echo the connections question. Just I feel like that's something that I would 00:38:19
love to see more of in the city at in general and would love to know why those were related. And kind of on a similar note, I 00:38:27
don't know how updated this images on Google Maps, but just the one entrance that does exist, the sidewalk. 00:38:35
Comes in and then ends, and there's no great pedestrian access into the. 00:38:44
Into the development so you the sidewalk ends and then you have to looks like you have to go on the street and then through the 00:38:52
parking lot. So yeah, it does so it does look like looking at their plans here there this is the sidewalk you're talking about 00:38:59
just ends there and then to get into the development you're walking up the street. Yeah, there, yeah, yeah. So we can totally 00:39:07
include that. I don't know if that's something that can change, but I just would like to see essentially this is. 00:39:14
We we can put any conditions that that we feel would would improve this. 00:39:21
Umm, as they did, you know, do all this construction without following the original approval. Umm, So yeah, whatever, whatever you 00:39:26
guys think is best. I think. I mean, access to Center Street is one thing that I also think that if we could make the pedestrian 00:39:32
access on the main entrance that does exist better, then I think that would be a win too. Is there something in specific that you 00:39:38
want to see, whether it's like a crosswalk or something? I just think so is this. 00:39:45
This sidewalk right here, that is sidewalk, correct? Yep. So I I mean, even if this is connected into here so you don't have to. 00:39:52
I I don't know. I. 00:40:00
In my mind, it doesn't make great sense as a pedestrian. Like, if I'm gonna leave and take my dog on a walk, I'm probably just 00:40:02
gonna walk through those rocks anyway, Yeah, Instead of go around on the street to meet to the sidewalk, you know what I mean? So 00:40:08
I'd also be concerned about ADA access if I'm in a wheelchair to get to my unit. Yeah, I'm. I'm just looking out for them right 00:40:14
now. 00:40:20
They're really, there really isn't a lot of access like connection. Yeah. And even within once you're in there, yeah, kind of just 00:40:27
go out to the parking lot and then. Yeah. And and everything here is very much like garage loaded. Like they do have these 00:40:32
internal courtyards that, you know, if if somebody lives in this unit and you were to walk to visit them, you do have to like walk 00:40:37
through here. 00:40:43
As none of their front doors face the the external sure and then play with that. I, I, I think there's a place for those kind of 00:40:48
developments and that's pretty and so I have no problem with that. We just I'm concerned about everything that's been said here 00:40:56
everything. So it seems like we have a lot of conditions. I personally have personally, I would feel comfortable continuing it so 00:41:03
that the developer can actually be here. OK that or if you feel like you've heard. 00:41:11
Our concerns well umm could you have that initial discussion with them saying these are the concerns that well we would want to 00:41:18
well we definitely still move it I just want yeah yeah I yeah I could yeah if we wanted to to move it to the the following 00:41:26
Planning Commission meeting and I could tomorrow reach out to him and say hey there's some concerns that that were had umm and we 00:41:33
want to see improved pedestrians connectivity umm to center St. also I think it's just Cortana Lane is the name of the. 00:41:41
There, yeah, as well as how do pedestrians kind of enter into the development? Umm, we, we can absolutely do that and let yeah. 00:41:48
And I don't wanna speak for everyone, please disagree with me if you feel differently, but I'd say if they're able to make some of 00:41:55
those access improvements and walkability improvements, umm, then I wouldn't have a strong opinion on any of the landscape changes 00:42:01
that we're proposing. Yeah. 00:42:08
Uh, what do you guys think about that as as far as continuing it is? 00:42:15
Yeah, I think, I think getting some more clarity on on these items would be good and continue. 00:42:20
Uh, I move to continue to do I have to say to win or just the future meeting? Umm, we, we probably should say Dave, umm, as this 00:42:28
was an agenda item. Umm, and the next one will be May 1st. OK. I move to continue. What item number is it? 5.3 the orchard site 00:42:36
5.3 the orchard site plan to the next meeting on May 1st. 00:42:44
Do I have a second thank you, Kayden, Second thank you, Brad. All in favor. 00:42:54
All right, just just real quick, are these two points good enough for me to get going with them? Umm, connectivity to center and 00:42:59
Cortana, whether that's removed fence or put up a gate and and put in sidewalks, umm and then pedestrian safety entrance. So 00:43:05
figuring out whether that's put in some sidewalk or a crosswalk or whatever it may be to kind of let people flow into their ship 00:43:11
more safely. Yeah and if possible, if you could have some like square footage number I'm experiencing where that square before and 00:43:17
after. 00:43:23
Outage differences. So that didn't make sense. OK, I can do that. OK, alright, I have a clarification on a date for Wednesday and 00:43:29
continue to May 1st, May 1st, 2024. 00:43:36
OK. Uh, moving on to staff Commission and committee reports, does anybody have anything that they wanted to? 00:43:45
So I know that Anthony has something I have something request as well. Umm, today Anthony I went and Flyers neighborhoods we will 00:43:53
be having, uh, next week at uh, hopefully Kayden got one. I got one. Thank you. Hopefully looks good. Yeah, looks great. Umm, but 00:43:59
essentially, uh, next week the City Council will be voting, uh, to umm, purchase two lots in the Cottonwood neighborhood to put up 00:44:05
a fire house. 00:44:11
Umm And so that'll happen at City Council and then the following week, hopefully it'll be a finance on the 1st we will be doing a 00:44:18
site plan application. 00:44:23
For that Firehouse that use the Planning Commission overview, umm, you'll see the renderings of of the Firehouse kind of how that 00:44:28
function within the residential neighborhood. Umm, So yeah, we just invite, you know, any, any residents that are concerned about 00:44:35
this or want to learn more to, to come to, you know, City Council next week and planning session the following week. Cool. OK, so 00:44:42
Anthony, I'd like to be Anthony something as well. Alright, so, umm, yesterday I was hearing from the umm. 00:44:48
National APA conference. 00:44:55
We had that in Minneapolis and it was a great experience. I had the chance to meet with other partners from other cities 00:44:57
throughout the, you know, the country. Uh, there were great sessions that I believe, you know, I learned things that would help us 00:45:04
ready, help us as a city as we meddle through issues that we're working through, including, uh, you know, uh, you know, from 00:45:11
zoning all the way through to umm. 00:45:18
Code enforcement and how? 00:45:25
How these, you know, other bigger cities have dealt with issues, for example, we are as a city, those might come to you yet we are 00:45:27
doing some research on getting umm, scooters and you know, hopefully bikes in uh, to help with first mile, uh, you know, last 00:45:33
mile, umm, uh. 00:45:39
You know, trans transportation, micro mobility in the city, umm. 00:45:48
Like, like Salt Lake, you know, it was dumped on them, right? The companies just reached out to the city and just wanted to do 00:45:54
the, you know, the, umm, business in the city without Salt Lake City having any research done. That happened to many other big 00:46:02
cities in the country. So some there were sessions where some of them shared how they have had to mitigate these issues. 00:46:10
That the scooters and bikes, uh, came with, you know? 00:46:19
And so the other cities that also share how they planned before these things were allowed to come into the city. And that's what 00:46:24
we're trying to do just so that we don't have issues like these other big cities had. So the these and many other umm, ways to 00:46:30
make our city run better from the planning perspective, where things that I learned that I hope to share with the rest of the team 00:46:36
and many more. 00:46:43
Thank you, that makes sense. 00:46:49
I realize I have a, a few more things, umm, next week we actually have a pretty busy week in the city. On Tuesday we will be doing 00:46:52
an open house, umm, kinda have town hall here at uh, City Hall. It is for the lakefront at Town Center, Villas Springs, Providence 00:46:59
Deluxe, Tukaro Preserve, Cascade and Solstice neighborhoods, the kind of the, the northern umm, residents neighborhoods here. Umm, 00:47:06
we're gonna have hopefully a few and council members here. We're gonna have some staff members here, umm, just to address. 00:47:14
And concerns that people may have in those neighborhoods, umm, as well as that night, I believe this is an impact Vineyard, uh, 00:47:21
award. Umm, and then Wednesday, oh, Wednesday is that City Council meeting with the fire station Firehouse. Umm, and then Thursday 00:47:27
is the impact Vineyard fair at, I believe it's a freedom elementary. I could be wrong. Umm, but that one, uh, just each of the 00:47:33
commissions, each of the, uh, departments has a little table at Freedom elementary and we just kind of go over what we're working 00:47:39
on. People can come and ask. 00:47:45
About, you know, the master plans that we're looking on kind of what what goes on a Planning Commission or a bicycle geyser 00:47:52
Commission, Umm, and it should be a good time so. 00:47:56
Any updated on the Postal Service box? I so Anthony is like the most charismatic man I know. So I asked him I can do it. And I 00:48:01
think he's getting to the same place I did where they, they tell us they're running a study every time and that's it. They're 00:48:08
like, we're waiting on the results from the study. So I don't know if they've told you anything different. So last time I was 00:48:15
available earlier this year and I was, you know. 00:48:21
I told them I'm not moving until I have some real news, so I was there for a while. 00:48:29
So they had the manager come out and you know, speak to me after some time. Now what they the reason why they've been drug 00:48:34
intestine is they don't wanna put a new box here. 00:48:39
Because most of our neighborhoods have the umm, the mail in boxes that have an outgoing umm mail thing in it. So it's not a big 00:48:45
case for them. And my argument has been we need one of the City Hall at least for people that come in or want to just, you know, I 00:48:51
know probably not part of these neighborhoods. I want to build stuff. And they said that they have made again as cash there, you 00:48:58
know, having a study. 00:49:05
To move. 00:49:12
A box that's not being as utilized as they want it to be. Umm, to our city. Hopefully. Umm, they said that should be completed 00:49:14
sometime. 00:49:19
In, you know, June. So I've given them some time. I haven't pushed yet, but I could probably go push them a little bit more so 00:49:26
they know Jenna's getting close, OK. 00:49:30
Alright, cool. Thank you Anthony. Thanks guys. Anything else? Just a couple of updates on our side. Umm, so the next phase of Utah 00:49:35
City downtown has started at uh, phase 2C. Uh, the utilities are being installed, uh, there, uh, right now. Umm, so that's, that's 00:49:43
just the phase just north of where they're building those buildings right now. OK, umm, and uh, they're kind of getting close on, 00:49:50
on starting the park area. 00:49:58
Between them as well umm Also U dot has identified a trail lung in your connector as a high priority trail for them. So it it's a 00:50:06
trail that will connect uh. 00:50:12
Uh, the, the lake trail, umm, come up by 300 W uh, to Vineyard connector and then follow vignette connector up to basically to the 00:50:18
Interstate. OK, Umm, so that's a high priority for them. So that's, that's just starting planning, uh, cases, but OK, very cool. 00:50:26
That's coming up Great. Umm, And then I just have a question about, uh, I don't know if it's phase three of Utah City or, but they 00:50:33
have to have a parking plan for the entire development. 00:50:41
And for, for everybody here, umm, and hopefully once we figure that out, then they can start enforcing the parking over there 00:52:19
because those streets, the streets, you know, the front or they're all private. Umm, so, you know, if I grow up tonight, wanted to 00:52:26
say they don't want anybody parked there. They could, you know, take some action, but they haven't. It says, uh, front runner UTA 00:52:34
MMM. Do they have any plans of having more parking? And do they know that that parking lot is full every day? Uh, they, they are. 00:52:41
I, I, I think every person I've talked to, they're very impressed with the success of, of the Vineyard station. Umm, I don't think 00:52:49
they have any plans to increase the amount of parking there yet. I, I could be wrong. I've heard more long term plans say that 00:52:56
again, I, I've heard there's more long term plans for both marking there. But yeah, yeah, as development, uh, happens around it, 00:53:04
they'll add parking. OK, OK. Umm, just curious real quick, I can show you this. 00:53:11
We can start on design and it's a construction in 2025. And is that like an asphalt trail then I assume? Yeah, they said that they 00:53:49
this is a new initiative by the the governor. Umm, and I don't think they have their standards yet of, of what they want these 00:53:57
trucks to look like, but I think they said they're aiming for a 10 foot minimum. So they wouldn't do anything less than that. And 00:54:04
that'll go up over the upper pass I assume yeah. So one, one thing they brought up is that they they really don't like. 00:54:11
Uh, the switch back that, that are there, umm, and so they said their trail alignment would actually bypass that and just keep 00:54:19
going down the, the South side there. Umm, we're actually also looking at, at designing a little pocket part here, Tucker Row. And 00:54:25
part of that will also be kind of figuring out how to better align that switch back and, and landscape that, that section. So we 00:54:30
can hopefully work with the Utah trail network people to create a really cool kind of interchange there between the two trails. 00:54:36
Cool. 00:54:41
Platforms like that, completely detached from the road. Yeah, Yep. 00:54:48
That'd be great if it is part of the greater system, if there's a pocket park there that I love the idea of having to move like 00:54:54
amenities there. Yeah, I, I think we're, we've requested budget for this upcoming, uh, fiscal year to get the designs for this 00:55:01
park. Umm, especially as the, the water pipeline project here is finishing up and they're, umm, finally gonna hopefully put that 00:55:08
app back in soon in the next few weeks. 00:55:14
Umm, and then from there we can look at what we can do to, to really improve that area. We, we have gone through all the processes 00:55:22
to get, take over ownership of that land from the HOA though. 00:55:27
Umm, I believe that's all taken care of right now. So the city. 00:55:32
Yeah, it's being finalized right now where the city will will own it. And then from there we can work on these designs and 00:55:38
implementing it. OK, cool. Yeah, pretty cool to have if the switch back goes away and we decide to do asphalt air that connects to 00:55:44
that trail that runs along the railroad and to do some switchbacks so longboard on there. 00:55:50
OK, cool. Thank you guys so much, Uh, if that's everything. 00:55:59
Then we'll join the meeting. Thank you guys. 00:56:04
