be any public comments. We'll move into the consent items for approval. Umm, do I have a motion on that? Have you guys been able | 00:01:06 | |
to walk over the minutes? | 00:01:11 | |
I wasn't here for one of them, OK, so I wouldn't make it. | 00:01:18 | |
Either you guys want to make a motion on the consent items. | 00:01:22 | |
Just a minute, All right. Do I have a second? | 00:01:29 | |
All right. | 00:01:37 | |
OK. All right. Second from Graydon. All in favor, aye. All right, moving to business item 5.3. Anthony, I got it. | 00:01:39 | |
Into this one at the Liveway Suites and Hotel and the GR meals. | 00:01:48 | |
All right, so umm. | 00:01:56 | |
My name is Anthony and I will be presenting on the live away suites. Umm, we have an applicant to pull in. I mean submit an | 00:01:58 | |
application for conditional use permit and a side plan and we have applicants here today to answer any questions and tell us more | 00:02:07 | |
about the hotel. Umm, then I can go ahead and share my analysis as well. But before we do that I would like to. | 00:02:15 | |
Before we invite the applicant, I'd like to just give you a location context. | 00:02:25 | |
So umm, the site is going to be located right on Geneva Rd. | 00:02:36 | |
And. | 00:02:41 | |
The red section there is the area awareness site is the hotel site is going to be a close site. | 00:02:44 | |
So on the full side will be a combination of lot 204 and 2:05. In that area they apply for a final plan amendment which was | 00:02:54 | |
approved on the 20th of June with conditions. Uh, there were a lot of umm, tax stuff that needed to be cleared. So, umm, that is a | 00:03:01 | |
condition. | 00:03:08 | |
Tending to be resolved before they can go ahead and record the plat. Umm, the proposed project is located within our GRMU and uh | 00:03:16 | |
zone and that requires a conditional use permit for the kind of operations of the hotel. So they have that application as part of | 00:03:25 | |
this one and I would leave this umm. | 00:03:33 | |
To the applicant right now to just tell us a lot more about the the project. | 00:03:41 | |
All right. | 00:03:49 | |
Thank you very much for your time today and allowing us to be here. Can you spell your name? And oh, my name is Jeremy Raymond. | 00:03:51 | |
I'm General Campbell for uh, W 77 Partners. The developer for this project. Also here is Kerry Simbley. She is our director of | 00:03:59 | |
acquisitions and she will come up and clarify anything that I don't know the answer to. Also with this is Brady Morris, who I'm | 00:04:06 | |
sure some of you are familiar with. He is with enzyme engineering and he is. | 00:04:13 | |
Engineering on this project and been heavily involved with Anthony and the rest of the staff, uh, which expects the application | 00:04:21 | |
and all that. So thanks Anthony for your brief summary on this. Like you said, this is going to be a level way suite branded | 00:04:29 | |
extended stay hotel. Umm, this is a new second few modern brand. It's not still product. Umm, it caught us. | 00:04:38 | |
An exciting time we are opening a hotel. | 00:04:47 | |
In West Jordan and Dave probably next week, early next week. So we're excited to do that opening and, uh, you know, really get | 00:04:51 | |
ourselves on the map. We also recently just broke ground on a hotel, Liberty Suites, Brandon's hotel in Draper, umm. | 00:05:00 | |
I will let Anthony speak to condition, but we have already been through the staff report, umm, and we started addressing the | 00:05:12 | |
conditions that Anthony suggested, but we can talk about that in more detail later, uh, later. As far as the product itself, like | 00:05:21 | |
I said in some extended stay hotel, UMM has 126 guest rooms, 4 floors. | 00:05:30 | |
About 59,711 square feet and the composition of rooms about 60% single king, 40% double clean. Umm, I can show this picture. | 00:05:39 | |
So you guys can get a little idea of what the rooms look like. Sorry I didn't turn off a bunch of them, but I should give you a | 00:05:51 | |
general idea. Umm, extended stay. A lot of people aren't familiar with what that is, but it's basically just a hotel that's | 00:05:57 | |
tailored towards longer stays and it has a full kitchen. So cook top, refrigerator, refrigerator, microwave, uh, dishwasher, so on | 00:06:04 | |
and so forth. | 00:06:10 | |
Umm, it's really tailored towards traveling workers, construction teams, medical professional, military, military families, uh, | 00:06:17 | |
relocating families, general business travelers. | 00:06:24 | |
Digital nomads, government here, university type people. So we think the clientele and guests for the hotel will be well served. | 00:06:30 | |
We're super excited about this product. Umm, super excited to bring it to Vineyard. Umm, can't wait to work with the community and | 00:06:38 | |
uh, we hope to commit construction. | 00:06:46 | |
In the coming months, and it's usually 12 to 14 months, Bill, but we're gonna do everything we can to get the thing opened by | 00:06:55 | |
October, November of next year. Umm, like I said, we're here for any questions that you may have. | 00:07:01 | |
I don't know procedurally how you want to do that. You want to finish and then we opened up the questions or you guys tell me. | 00:07:07 | |
Yeah, we'll have Anthony finish up and then go for this question. Thank you so much. | 00:07:12 | |
Thanks, Jeremy. | 00:07:20 | |
So, umm. | 00:07:29 | |
I'll just go straight to the site plan. | 00:07:31 | |
So that is umm, the site plan that was presented, uh, to be approved as part of the package. And they had 122, uh, parking stalls, | 00:07:36 | |
uh, which met our code right on the minimum requirements, umm, 12 byte racks They have umm. | 00:07:46 | |
Pretty much, you know, all the accessibility, they met the minimum requirements for the accessible parking as well. And uh, they | 00:07:57 | |
have also, we've worked with them to be able to have umm, the exits and umm, entryways into this lot as accessible to, uh, its | 00:08:06 | |
users as it can be. Uh, we also recommended them to. | 00:08:15 | |
Create this walk in, you know, uh, crosswalk. | 00:08:24 | |
That is more visible. Before they had one that would just cross from here over to the side to the building, but then we had them | 00:08:28 | |
corrected to this l-shaped one, uh, stamped concrete that would be more visible and make, uh, pedestrians more safe, uh, walking | 00:08:34 | |
through the lot. | 00:08:39 | |
So with a landscaping plan, we work with them to get as many trees as are required in the code. However, umm, the percentage did | 00:08:47 | |
not quite, uh, get to the where where minimum requirements. So I was working with the, you know, the engineer, Brady Morris to | 00:08:56 | |
have this updated to meet that, that code. Currently it's about. | 00:09:05 | |
12 to 19% Umm. | 00:09:14 | |
But the code requires it to be about 20%. So from our discussions, they are probably gonna get it to about 20.1 based on, umm, the | 00:09:18 | |
changes that need to be done. Umm, and that would include making some of these umm, walkways, uh, pervious and umm, you know. | 00:09:29 | |
Just having a lot more landscaping, you know, features along, uh, this Pennsylvania past year around the building. | 00:09:41 | |
Uh, on the elevations we have this view being the one you see on the Geneva Rd. going to be the east view. | 00:09:54 | |
And that's going to be the the main entrance view, which is going to be the West elevation. | 00:10:05 | |
And both North and South elevations as well. | 00:10:16 | |
So, umm, as part of the conditions, we have a list of conditions here. Umm, that. | 00:10:24 | |
We recommend a staff to be met before as part of the con, uh, you know, approval. If you decide to approve this, then all these | 00:10:31 | |
are met. Umm, The first would be that the a potential meet all the building design requirements. Umm therefore by the city. | 00:10:39 | |
Applicants shall also make provisions for a site plan amendment, especially for the landscaping. | 00:10:47 | |
To accommodate, umm, the changes, the possible changes that could happen after our discussion because we're coordinating with new | 00:10:56 | |
dots right now. | 00:11:00 | |
Regarding the expansion of Geneva Rd. which could affect the landscaping along the Geneva roadside of their building on their | 00:11:05 | |
property. So, umm, we wanna have it in here as a condition for them to make provision to be available to do this change, to work | 00:11:13 | |
with U dot and the city when that happens. | 00:11:20 | |
Umm, as I mentioned earlier, the applicant would also have to provide an updated land landscaping plan to meet the minimum | 00:11:31 | |
requirements per percentage for the site. | 00:11:36 | |
And this is a standard condition that we have, which is that that applicant shall observe all the cities, uh, nuisance general | 00:11:44 | |
ordinances outlined in the, uh, municipal code. | 00:11:50 | |
So areas where pedestrian cross, uh. | 00:11:56 | |
Crosses the driveway shall be constructed of stamped concrete. | 00:12:00 | |
Or some other material that differentiates them from uh, vehicle being used in the, in the same site for safety reasons. And the | 00:12:05 | |
applicants are also comply with all requirements provided by the fire Marshall regarding fire access and maximize the safety and | 00:12:13 | |
convenience of pedestrian flow throughout the city. I mean throughout the site. | 00:12:22 | |
Now the applicant must also pay all outstanding fees. | 00:12:32 | |
And make any red line corrections, including the ones that we shared so far that apart from the landscaping, there isn't anything | 00:12:36 | |
umm that needs to be corrected. | 00:12:41 | |
In regards to the UH submission and UMM, applicant shall be subject to all federal, state and local laws as well. | 00:12:48 | |
So. | 00:12:59 | |
Staff recommends that umm this this umm. | 00:13:01 | |
Application for conditional use permit and umm you know the site plan be approved with these conditions. | 00:13:08 | |
Right. | 00:13:19 | |
Thanks, Anthony. Any questions from the Commission? | 00:13:19 | |
Alright, you wanna turn your microphone on? Thank you. Umm, one question, why did you guys go with stamp concrete? | 00:13:24 | |
Yeah, have you ever walked on it in the winter? | 00:13:35 | |
It's a city requirement, isn't it? It's a city requirement. | 00:13:39 | |
Consistent with the project. | 00:13:44 | |
Have you ever fallen on it? | 00:13:50 | |
But yeah, like the camp concrete in the winter gets ice and gets like the thin layer and people fall all the time. | 00:13:54 | |
Yeah, and one thing we consider doing instead of Sam Francisco. Yeah, No, the asphalt goes like not, it's not asleep, but my | 00:14:03 | |
father-in-law has stamped concrete all over his driveway and stuff because he thought it was cool. And my kids fall on it. | 00:14:10 | |
Everyone is like 20 kids fall. It's not fun. So. | 00:14:18 | |
I guess it looks cool and it's and it looks great, but. | 00:14:27 | |
It's not on the other part, OK. | 00:14:33 | |
You guys want to address that? | 00:14:38 | |
So during our last, umm, DRC, it was a recommendation by the engineer. Uh, that was something that came from the scene. So yeah. | 00:14:41 | |
And maybe a requirement from the standard. | 00:14:48 | |
Yeah, I can't provide engineer so. | 00:14:56 | |
I mean that that's something that we could have in the same look at. I mean, they're going to have their own liability issues. So | 00:14:59 | |
they're not going to put anything that's too slick and there is like stuff that you can put in it, like sand and stuff. But I | 00:15:03 | |
mean. | 00:15:07 | |
Umm, submit for our uh. | 00:15:14 | |
My observance for that. | 00:15:18 | |
So there's a technical review. | 00:15:23 | |
At that point. | 00:15:27 | |
As far as the stands, concrete in front of Top Golf, if they have any issues at all, I feel like they haven't. No, that's not that | 00:15:31 | |
that material. I don't know if that's standing. It's how, how, how. | 00:15:37 | |
So. | 00:15:47 | |
So maybe a suggestion would be to change that from a standstill and for you to could you go to the conditions Anthony on the | 00:15:49 | |
screen? | 00:15:52 | |
Because we have had issues with Samsung page. | 00:15:57 | |
Yeah. So the, the condition would allow us to kind of let staff determine what would be best used working with the applicant by, | 00:16:03 | |
you know, or other material and design to differentiate the area, especially in the important interface. So that's the biggest | 00:16:09 | |
thing is we're just trying to protect, you know, as as somebody's driving, they see a different color, they see different | 00:16:14 | |
material, umm, whether that is stamped concrete or asphalt or whatever it may be. We, we can work with them on that in the | 00:16:20 | |
technical review process. Yeah, Well, well. | 00:16:26 | |
So during that, during that process, we'll, we'll, uh, convey your, uh, your comments, umm, to, to the same. | 00:16:32 | |
Thank you. Any other questions, Brad? | 00:16:39 | |
OK, great. In the oven please. Yeah, I just have a couple of questions. As far as the, you know, business standpoint, how close | 00:16:42 | |
are your direct competitors or what else is there out there like just these kind of things? | 00:16:50 | |
Less than seven partners. So probably the closest competitor would be the Extended Stay America the last week in American sports, | 00:17:00 | |
it's still far below what we would consider a direct competitor. There's not a lot. You have a Hyatt House consultant girls, I | 00:17:06 | |
believe OK, which is an extended stay, a little bit of a higher end product as well, but not a lot actually in this market that we | 00:17:12 | |
would be. | 00:17:18 | |
Looking heavily with yeah, this is exciting and as far as you know business model, are people able to stay one night? Do people | 00:17:25 | |
stay a full? | 00:17:31 | |
Year, yeah. So we, our bread and butter is a week to two weeks. Umm, that's often optimizes the operating model. Umm, But yes, if | 00:17:37 | |
they wanna stay a night, we charge them for it. So it's a little bit more similar to a true or courtyard or something like that | 00:17:44 | |
where they're gonna pay $120.00 a night for one night. It just costs more to turn the room if they're only staying one night. But | 00:17:52 | |
by all means they can. Umm, but we typically do weekly. | 00:17:59 | |
Reservations, but we it's been known to have people say six months for a year plus if they want to, OK. | 00:18:07 | |
Very cool. And you mentioned one building is underway up north. Umm, how does that compare in size? So it's exactly the same as | 00:18:14 | |
our prototype design, umm. | 00:18:20 | |
That's the first little way to open. So it's scheduled open on Monday on the 26th. Guest rooms up there. And I gotta ask, uh, | 00:18:28 | |
we've got 122 parking here. How much is, uh, parking up there? So they do have one to one parking that's typically we see | 00:18:36 | |
nationwide. That's pretty standard requirements. Umm, our management portion of the company they manage this year, so of similar | 00:18:43 | |
products and their busiest hotels, they don't see more than 80% of the sales being used and we've seen that. | 00:18:50 | |
With our portfolio as well. So that's what we target, 70 to 80%. As long as we have that much, we really aren't concerned about a | 00:18:58 | |
little bit less parking than one to one. Yeah, get construction proven. So it's safe to say it's the same size of hotel 126 and | 00:19:05 | |
the number of parking spots is the same. So that one has 126. Well, I thought you mentioned here you're gonna have 126 parking | 00:19:12 | |
spells 122. | 00:19:19 | |
122 Oh, got you 122 yeah. And there are four more up there. OK. Yeah, so. | 00:19:27 | |
Cool, we're excited. Umm, and just to find out it it does mean Arizona code for parking. | 00:19:34 | |
Cool any other questions for you No, of course you got anything? No questions all right uh thank you guys for putting in that dog | 00:19:42 | |
area. That was a lot of money for questions uh, but yeah everything yeah I I saw that on the website that's why I brought it up in | 00:19:48 | |
the group meeting uh, it looks great umm. | 00:19:55 | |
Yeah, yeah, I didn't have any other questions either. Umm, sorry to have you guys here. Umm. That being said, does anybody wanna | 00:20:03 | |
make a motion? | 00:20:06 | |
You got it. | 00:20:13 | |
It went first. Yeah. You have the motion for him. | 00:20:17 | |
OK. | 00:20:29 | |
If I can beat you to it, I'm trying to find it as well. | 00:20:42 | |
So it's going to be so sample motion will be to approve the site plan and conditional use permit as requested by, you know, the | 00:20:46 | |
applicant, Randy Morris, umm, what the, you know, conditions provided if there isn't anything else you want to add to it. So I'm | 00:20:53 | |
going to approve the site plan and conditional use permits as requested by Brady Morris, the applicant with the conditions as | 00:20:59 | |
presented. | 00:21:06 | |
Try this again. | 00:21:13 | |
Second, all in favor. Aye. All right. Thanks again. OK, Thank you very much. | 00:21:15 | |
Alright, we do not have any work sessions, just staff Commission and committee report. | 00:21:23 | |
So in giving a staff update, we shared with the team earlier on about the grant that we received, the tax grant which was about | 00:21:40 | |
$129,000 to prepare. | 00:21:47 | |
You know, redesigned Mill Rd. to be a more safe. | 00:21:55 | |
You know, corridor, uh, we designed all the intersections, uh, I mean selected intersections as well as umm, preparing a way of | 00:21:59 | |
finding master plan for the entire city. Umm, we are at the state where we're about to push out an RFP to get consultants, umm, | 00:22:08 | |
you know, interest, like consultants to, you know, share their proposals with us and make a selection. So. | 00:22:17 | |
This should hopefully get out by Monday. | 00:22:27 | |
Of next week. | 00:22:29 | |
Assistant now we umm, we're in a good space and we will be engaging the Planning Commission, the BAC and obviously the rest of the | 00:22:32 | |
city and making these two plans work for us the. | 00:22:38 | |
Middle Roadside is going to tackle the missing link in the active transportation plan that really. | 00:22:47 | |
Solves the problem of, you know, active transportation uses and safety on the east side of the city and there will be treated | 00:22:56 | |
more, but in addition to the active application and update as well. So that's it for now. | 00:23:04 | |
Cool. And we'll have plenty of opportunity for the, uh, Commission to be a part of it. Most likely there'll be a steering | 00:23:14 | |
committee. I believe that's one that pay has indicated being on that side of the track that she, umm, would have interest in | 00:23:20 | |
sitting on. And there would be a spot for, for one more. Obviously we can't 3 And so if there's interest from it, it'll be a fun | 00:23:26 | |
one. So tackling to, uh, two major projects. Umm, the other thing too, I don't know if. | 00:23:32 | |
We introduced, introduced, uh, Madison Reed yet to, to you all. Madison Reed is excellent. She is in our community development | 00:23:39 | |
department working as a planning technician. | 00:23:43 | |
Umm recently graduated with her urban ecology degree from the University of Utah. She ran track umm, on on her team and uh, yeah, | 00:23:49 | |
it's just really excellent. I think you this is our. So this will be a month umm, on on the job and she's, she's doing a great | 00:23:56 | |
job. So we're really excited to have, uh, Madison. So please introduce yourselves to her and umm, yeah, she'll be a really | 00:24:04 | |
important part of kind of facilitating immediately. You know, Jenna's ready and our reports and staff reports prepared and. | 00:24:11 | |
Umm, or, you know, new uses, umm, put into the district use table. So working really closely with like our, our, uh, business | 00:24:49 | |
licensing, uh, employee and some other people throughout the city to, to kind of bolster our, our zoning code quite a bit more. | 00:24:55 | |
Umm, and that, I'm assuming maybe like October is when, uh, that'll come to the Planning Commission for review. Umm, so it'll be a | 00:25:01 | |
pretty good, uh, way for all of us to get to know the zoning code a little bit better. Umm, and the other projects that's gonna be | 00:25:06 | |
coming down the pipeline. | 00:25:12 | |
Planning Commission, hopefully August 7th, we're gonna have, umm, quite a few site plans. Uh, we have 4 site plans, uh, that we're | 00:25:18 | |
reviewing right now for Utah City, which does include the grocery store, umm, So August 7th we can hopefully, uh, have that | 00:25:26 | |
Planning Commission for review so they can get started on construction pretty soon. Umm, and then the fire station as well. We're | 00:25:33 | |
gonna be taking that through, umm, Planning Commission on August 7th and they're looking to start construction. | 00:25:40 | |
The next day if possible. | 00:25:47 | |
On that uh, so that's another exciting, uh, update in the city. Cool. | 00:25:49 | |
Good afternoon. I'm going to ask because it's July now, uh, Postal Service box. | 00:25:56 | |
Yeah, I did follow up with, uh, the post office, the post. | 00:26:05 | |
I know it's called the post director and the postmaster, and the comment that I had that delayed the whole process is because, | 00:26:09 | |
umm, we have, umm, we don't have the home, you know, the home mailboxes like it is in different cities where every home has its | 00:26:16 | |
own mailbox. We have a community, uh, style mailboxes and each of those ones have, umm, an outgoing mail slot. So that has been | 00:26:24 | |
one of the contributing factor to the reason why umm, they have. | 00:26:31 | |
Make this whole process. But according to them we are still conducting a study to justify the reason for really, you know, | 00:26:39 | |
bringing us mailbox in here. Yeah, just somewhere to drop off packages. I think one other potential update on that is we actually | 00:26:45 | |
one of the the biggest issues that we've had is finding the right person to talk to if you go up to the forum post service post | 00:26:52 | |
whatever billing, yeah. | 00:26:59 | |
They're always very busy and don't seem to have the time to talk to anybody. | 00:27:07 | |
But they actually came to our office, the one of the postmasters did, because they want to start talking about how mail is going | 00:27:12 | |
to work for the whole Utah City development and they really want to have an input on how those mailboxes are going to function. So | 00:27:18 | |
I think we have a way to have, you know, a good contact with somebody at the Postal Service that's willing to maybe help us out in | 00:27:23 | |
getting a post office box here. Y'all, OK. | 00:27:29 | |
John, uh, Curtis, he's doing a listening tour, I think it was August 5th or 7th here in Vineyard specifically for residents. Like | 00:27:36 | |
I signed up to talk to him about some other projects and stuff. Uh, but it's specifically he wanted to know, umm, and he's likely | 00:27:42 | |
to be our next senator as well, but specifically he wanted to know, uh, citizen needs for federal services. So I think that would | 00:27:48 | |
be a good example of one to go and talk to him. I know they're bringing SSA, IRS, other people to talk. I bet if you mentioned to | 00:27:54 | |
him. | 00:28:00 | |
We'd love to have post office there too. You could directly have that conversation and you can sign up for five minute increments | 00:28:06 | |
to actually talk and have the people there too. And that might make more movement happen than anything else. OK, when is that? Uh, | 00:28:13 | |
it was August 5th or 7th. OK, Umm, I'll look at my e-mail and I can forward you. It might still be a sign up spot. Perfect. You | 00:28:21 | |
know where that's located. Uh, they were doing it at, uh, what's the new credit union over there? Mountain America. | 00:28:28 | |
Or UCC Union Mountain America should isn't open yet. It's on the corner right by the UCC here. I'll just look it up. | 00:28:36 | |
First half. | 00:28:45 | |
If you use the one by the theater, there's just not a lot of space that you see you. | 00:28:48 | |
Pretty small because it's one of those like digital Credit Union. | 00:28:53 | |
Bye. | 00:28:57 | |
And the grand opening for a ton of people in there. I was calling. Maybe I'll just crammed in. Yeah, it's a lot smaller than their | 00:28:59 | |
typical layout. Yeah, he's doing it. It's August 5th, from 6th to 7:30. It's not America First Credit Union. OK. | 00:29:06 | |
Is where they're holding it umm, I do have one last little update uh, we should actually umm you mentioned mountain America credit | 00:29:14 | |
union should be opening sometime soon umm they're on mill Rd. there right on the corner as well as Jersey Mike's will be opening | 00:29:20 | |
up umm hopefully in the you know next week or two umm but yeah we've got we've had quite a few you know new businesses open in | 00:29:26 | |
that area the Kung Fu key and. | 00:29:33 | |
The ice cream, yeah, still melt. So we have quite a few businesses that are that are still coming to vineyards and helping the | 00:29:39 | |
yard fill up. | 00:29:44 | |
Michael awesome. Anything else from staff? That's everything Cool. Anything else from the Commission? I, I had a, a question and | 00:29:49 | |
maybe a request. So, umm, do we have any involvement in the discussion when they start discussing the umm, golf carts and how we | 00:29:54 | |
may change transportation around that or clarify rules? Is that something that Planning Commission needs to be considering? You | 00:30:00 | |
know, we haven't really been involved. It's more of the public right of way, But I mean, it could be. So I mean how we program | 00:30:06 | |
our. | 00:30:12 | |
To actually have like a good community layout structure. How do we change the road? So anything we could get maybe education wise | 00:31:19 | |
in a work session I think would be valuable. I know that we have looked at, we looked at a while back. I think it was, uh, ATVs. | 00:31:25 | |
I, I don't know all the weird acronyms, but umm, you know, side by side we, we look at those a couple years ago, umm, and I think | 00:31:31 | |
golf carts was one of those things that we looked at as well. Umm, now we're gonna be doing our lake trail and that will be | 00:31:37 | |
expanded to 15 feet, but honestly. | 00:31:43 | |
Route my thought would even be on the existing trail type system that we have. I think a lot of it is going to the different parts | 00:32:19 | |
to club houses, but it's probably gonna wanna people wanna have them down in the late front. So even minor adjustments or long | 00:32:25 | |
term findings or how we widen it how we sort of separation between bikes pedestrians, yeah cars. But it probably takes some of | 00:32:31 | |
that longer term signing to get it into some sort of. | 00:32:37 | |
Transportation. So Sam and I almost got run over. We really did. We were on a sidewalk talking with some engineers about adding a | 00:32:44 | |
across Tampa school and his first she was like a nine year old that she's taken the whole sidewalk. | 00:32:49 | |
Did not slow down. We all jumped off the sidewalk. So yeah, there's probably an appropriate place for him. But yeah, we definitely | 00:32:55 | |
need some rules that help help govern that if we if it's allowed. So. But there is a lot of them in the city and it's becoming | 00:33:00 | |
more and more. | 00:33:05 | |
Cool. There's nothing else from the Commission on staff then. Meeting adjourned. | 00:33:11 |

indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:52 | |
All right, thank you so much. All right, we will move into, uh, public comments if there are any. Doesn't look like they're gonna | 00:01:01 | |
be any public comments. We'll move into the consent items for approval. Umm, do I have a motion on that? Have you guys been able | 00:01:06 | |
to walk over the minutes? | 00:01:11 | |
I wasn't here for one of them, OK, so I wouldn't make it. | 00:01:18 | |
Either you guys want to make a motion on the consent items. | 00:01:22 | |
Just a minute, All right. Do I have a second? | 00:01:29 | |
All right. | 00:01:37 | |
OK. All right. Second from Graydon. All in favor, aye. All right, moving to business item 5.3. Anthony, I got it. | 00:01:39 | |
Into this one at the Liveway Suites and Hotel and the GR meals. | 00:01:48 | |
All right, so umm. | 00:01:56 | |
My name is Anthony and I will be presenting on the live away suites. Umm, we have an applicant to pull in. I mean submit an | 00:01:58 | |
application for conditional use permit and a side plan and we have applicants here today to answer any questions and tell us more | 00:02:07 | |
about the hotel. Umm, then I can go ahead and share my analysis as well. But before we do that I would like to. | 00:02:15 | |
Before we invite the applicant, I'd like to just give you a location context. | 00:02:25 | |
So umm, the site is going to be located right on Geneva Rd. | 00:02:36 | |
And. | 00:02:41 | |
The red section there is the area awareness site is the hotel site is going to be a close site. | 00:02:44 | |
So on the full side will be a combination of lot 204 and 2:05. In that area they apply for a final plan amendment which was | 00:02:54 | |
approved on the 20th of June with conditions. Uh, there were a lot of umm, tax stuff that needed to be cleared. So, umm, that is a | 00:03:01 | |
condition. | 00:03:08 | |
Tending to be resolved before they can go ahead and record the plat. Umm, the proposed project is located within our GRMU and uh | 00:03:16 | |
zone and that requires a conditional use permit for the kind of operations of the hotel. So they have that application as part of | 00:03:25 | |
this one and I would leave this umm. | 00:03:33 | |
To the applicant right now to just tell us a lot more about the the project. | 00:03:41 | |
All right. | 00:03:49 | |
Thank you very much for your time today and allowing us to be here. Can you spell your name? And oh, my name is Jeremy Raymond. | 00:03:51 | |
I'm General Campbell for uh, W 77 Partners. The developer for this project. Also here is Kerry Simbley. She is our director of | 00:03:59 | |
acquisitions and she will come up and clarify anything that I don't know the answer to. Also with this is Brady Morris, who I'm | 00:04:06 | |
sure some of you are familiar with. He is with enzyme engineering and he is. | 00:04:13 | |
Engineering on this project and been heavily involved with Anthony and the rest of the staff, uh, which expects the application | 00:04:21 | |
and all that. So thanks Anthony for your brief summary on this. Like you said, this is going to be a level way suite branded | 00:04:29 | |
extended stay hotel. Umm, this is a new second few modern brand. It's not still product. Umm, it caught us. | 00:04:38 | |
An exciting time we are opening a hotel. | 00:04:47 | |
In West Jordan and Dave probably next week, early next week. So we're excited to do that opening and, uh, you know, really get | 00:04:51 | |
ourselves on the map. We also recently just broke ground on a hotel, Liberty Suites, Brandon's hotel in Draper, umm. | 00:05:00 | |
I will let Anthony speak to condition, but we have already been through the staff report, umm, and we started addressing the | 00:05:12 | |
conditions that Anthony suggested, but we can talk about that in more detail later, uh, later. As far as the product itself, like | 00:05:21 | |
I said in some extended stay hotel, UMM has 126 guest rooms, 4 floors. | 00:05:30 | |
About 59,711 square feet and the composition of rooms about 60% single king, 40% double clean. Umm, I can show this picture. | 00:05:39 | |
So you guys can get a little idea of what the rooms look like. Sorry I didn't turn off a bunch of them, but I should give you a | 00:05:51 | |
general idea. Umm, extended stay. A lot of people aren't familiar with what that is, but it's basically just a hotel that's | 00:05:57 | |
tailored towards longer stays and it has a full kitchen. So cook top, refrigerator, refrigerator, microwave, uh, dishwasher, so on | 00:06:04 | |
and so forth. | 00:06:10 | |
Umm, it's really tailored towards traveling workers, construction teams, medical professional, military, military families, uh, | 00:06:17 | |
relocating families, general business travelers. | 00:06:24 | |
Digital nomads, government here, university type people. So we think the clientele and guests for the hotel will be well served. | 00:06:30 | |
We're super excited about this product. Umm, super excited to bring it to Vineyard. Umm, can't wait to work with the community and | 00:06:38 | |
uh, we hope to commit construction. | 00:06:46 | |
In the coming months, and it's usually 12 to 14 months, Bill, but we're gonna do everything we can to get the thing opened by | 00:06:55 | |
October, November of next year. Umm, like I said, we're here for any questions that you may have. | 00:07:01 | |
I don't know procedurally how you want to do that. You want to finish and then we opened up the questions or you guys tell me. | 00:07:07 | |
Yeah, we'll have Anthony finish up and then go for this question. Thank you so much. | 00:07:12 | |
Thanks, Jeremy. | 00:07:20 | |
So, umm. | 00:07:29 | |
I'll just go straight to the site plan. | 00:07:31 | |
So that is umm, the site plan that was presented, uh, to be approved as part of the package. And they had 122, uh, parking stalls, | 00:07:36 | |
uh, which met our code right on the minimum requirements, umm, 12 byte racks They have umm. | 00:07:46 | |
Pretty much, you know, all the accessibility, they met the minimum requirements for the accessible parking as well. And uh, they | 00:07:57 | |
have also, we've worked with them to be able to have umm, the exits and umm, entryways into this lot as accessible to, uh, its | 00:08:06 | |
users as it can be. Uh, we also recommended them to. | 00:08:15 | |
Create this walk in, you know, uh, crosswalk. | 00:08:24 | |
That is more visible. Before they had one that would just cross from here over to the side to the building, but then we had them | 00:08:28 | |
corrected to this l-shaped one, uh, stamped concrete that would be more visible and make, uh, pedestrians more safe, uh, walking | 00:08:34 | |
through the lot. | 00:08:39 | |
So with a landscaping plan, we work with them to get as many trees as are required in the code. However, umm, the percentage did | 00:08:47 | |
not quite, uh, get to the where where minimum requirements. So I was working with the, you know, the engineer, Brady Morris to | 00:08:56 | |
have this updated to meet that, that code. Currently it's about. | 00:09:05 | |
12 to 19% Umm. | 00:09:14 | |
But the code requires it to be about 20%. So from our discussions, they are probably gonna get it to about 20.1 based on, umm, the | 00:09:18 | |
changes that need to be done. Umm, and that would include making some of these umm, walkways, uh, pervious and umm, you know. | 00:09:29 | |
Just having a lot more landscaping, you know, features along, uh, this Pennsylvania past year around the building. | 00:09:41 | |
Uh, on the elevations we have this view being the one you see on the Geneva Rd. going to be the east view. | 00:09:54 | |
And that's going to be the the main entrance view, which is going to be the West elevation. | 00:10:05 | |
And both North and South elevations as well. | 00:10:16 | |
So, umm, as part of the conditions, we have a list of conditions here. Umm, that. | 00:10:24 | |
We recommend a staff to be met before as part of the con, uh, you know, approval. If you decide to approve this, then all these | 00:10:31 | |
are met. Umm, The first would be that the a potential meet all the building design requirements. Umm therefore by the city. | 00:10:39 | |
Applicants shall also make provisions for a site plan amendment, especially for the landscaping. | 00:10:47 | |
To accommodate, umm, the changes, the possible changes that could happen after our discussion because we're coordinating with new | 00:10:56 | |
dots right now. | 00:11:00 | |
Regarding the expansion of Geneva Rd. which could affect the landscaping along the Geneva roadside of their building on their | 00:11:05 | |
property. So, umm, we wanna have it in here as a condition for them to make provision to be available to do this change, to work | 00:11:13 | |
with U dot and the city when that happens. | 00:11:20 | |
Umm, as I mentioned earlier, the applicant would also have to provide an updated land landscaping plan to meet the minimum | 00:11:31 | |
requirements per percentage for the site. | 00:11:36 | |
And this is a standard condition that we have, which is that that applicant shall observe all the cities, uh, nuisance general | 00:11:44 | |
ordinances outlined in the, uh, municipal code. | 00:11:50 | |
So areas where pedestrian cross, uh. | 00:11:56 | |
Crosses the driveway shall be constructed of stamped concrete. | 00:12:00 | |
Or some other material that differentiates them from uh, vehicle being used in the, in the same site for safety reasons. And the | 00:12:05 | |
applicants are also comply with all requirements provided by the fire Marshall regarding fire access and maximize the safety and | 00:12:13 | |
convenience of pedestrian flow throughout the city. I mean throughout the site. | 00:12:22 | |
Now the applicant must also pay all outstanding fees. | 00:12:32 | |
And make any red line corrections, including the ones that we shared so far that apart from the landscaping, there isn't anything | 00:12:36 | |
umm that needs to be corrected. | 00:12:41 | |
In regards to the UH submission and UMM, applicant shall be subject to all federal, state and local laws as well. | 00:12:48 | |
So. | 00:12:59 | |
Staff recommends that umm this this umm. | 00:13:01 | |
Application for conditional use permit and umm you know the site plan be approved with these conditions. | 00:13:08 | |
Right. | 00:13:19 | |
Thanks, Anthony. Any questions from the Commission? | 00:13:19 | |
Alright, you wanna turn your microphone on? Thank you. Umm, one question, why did you guys go with stamp concrete? | 00:13:24 | |
Yeah, have you ever walked on it in the winter? | 00:13:35 | |
It's a city requirement, isn't it? It's a city requirement. | 00:13:39 | |
Consistent with the project. | 00:13:44 | |
Have you ever fallen on it? | 00:13:50 | |
But yeah, like the camp concrete in the winter gets ice and gets like the thin layer and people fall all the time. | 00:13:54 | |
Yeah, and one thing we consider doing instead of Sam Francisco. Yeah, No, the asphalt goes like not, it's not asleep, but my | 00:14:03 | |
father-in-law has stamped concrete all over his driveway and stuff because he thought it was cool. And my kids fall on it. | 00:14:10 | |
Everyone is like 20 kids fall. It's not fun. So. | 00:14:18 | |
I guess it looks cool and it's and it looks great, but. | 00:14:27 | |
It's not on the other part, OK. | 00:14:33 | |
You guys want to address that? | 00:14:38 | |
So during our last, umm, DRC, it was a recommendation by the engineer. Uh, that was something that came from the scene. So yeah. | 00:14:41 | |
And maybe a requirement from the standard. | 00:14:48 | |
Yeah, I can't provide engineer so. | 00:14:56 | |
I mean that that's something that we could have in the same look at. I mean, they're going to have their own liability issues. So | 00:14:59 | |
they're not going to put anything that's too slick and there is like stuff that you can put in it, like sand and stuff. But I | 00:15:03 | |
mean. | 00:15:07 | |
Umm, submit for our uh. | 00:15:14 | |
My observance for that. | 00:15:18 | |
So there's a technical review. | 00:15:23 | |
At that point. | 00:15:27 | |
As far as the stands, concrete in front of Top Golf, if they have any issues at all, I feel like they haven't. No, that's not that | 00:15:31 | |
that material. I don't know if that's standing. It's how, how, how. | 00:15:37 | |
So. | 00:15:47 | |
So maybe a suggestion would be to change that from a standstill and for you to could you go to the conditions Anthony on the | 00:15:49 | |
screen? | 00:15:52 | |
Because we have had issues with Samsung page. | 00:15:57 | |
Yeah. So the, the condition would allow us to kind of let staff determine what would be best used working with the applicant by, | 00:16:03 | |
you know, or other material and design to differentiate the area, especially in the important interface. So that's the biggest | 00:16:09 | |
thing is we're just trying to protect, you know, as as somebody's driving, they see a different color, they see different | 00:16:14 | |
material, umm, whether that is stamped concrete or asphalt or whatever it may be. We, we can work with them on that in the | 00:16:20 | |
technical review process. Yeah, Well, well. | 00:16:26 | |
So during that, during that process, we'll, we'll, uh, convey your, uh, your comments, umm, to, to the same. | 00:16:32 | |
Thank you. Any other questions, Brad? | 00:16:39 | |
OK, great. In the oven please. Yeah, I just have a couple of questions. As far as the, you know, business standpoint, how close | 00:16:42 | |
are your direct competitors or what else is there out there like just these kind of things? | 00:16:50 | |
Less than seven partners. So probably the closest competitor would be the Extended Stay America the last week in American sports, | 00:17:00 | |
it's still far below what we would consider a direct competitor. There's not a lot. You have a Hyatt House consultant girls, I | 00:17:06 | |
believe OK, which is an extended stay, a little bit of a higher end product as well, but not a lot actually in this market that we | 00:17:12 | |
would be. | 00:17:18 | |
Looking heavily with yeah, this is exciting and as far as you know business model, are people able to stay one night? Do people | 00:17:25 | |
stay a full? | 00:17:31 | |
Year, yeah. So we, our bread and butter is a week to two weeks. Umm, that's often optimizes the operating model. Umm, But yes, if | 00:17:37 | |
they wanna stay a night, we charge them for it. So it's a little bit more similar to a true or courtyard or something like that | 00:17:44 | |
where they're gonna pay $120.00 a night for one night. It just costs more to turn the room if they're only staying one night. But | 00:17:52 | |
by all means they can. Umm, but we typically do weekly. | 00:17:59 | |
Reservations, but we it's been known to have people say six months for a year plus if they want to, OK. | 00:18:07 | |
Very cool. And you mentioned one building is underway up north. Umm, how does that compare in size? So it's exactly the same as | 00:18:14 | |
our prototype design, umm. | 00:18:20 | |
That's the first little way to open. So it's scheduled open on Monday on the 26th. Guest rooms up there. And I gotta ask, uh, | 00:18:28 | |
we've got 122 parking here. How much is, uh, parking up there? So they do have one to one parking that's typically we see | 00:18:36 | |
nationwide. That's pretty standard requirements. Umm, our management portion of the company they manage this year, so of similar | 00:18:43 | |
products and their busiest hotels, they don't see more than 80% of the sales being used and we've seen that. | 00:18:50 | |
With our portfolio as well. So that's what we target, 70 to 80%. As long as we have that much, we really aren't concerned about a | 00:18:58 | |
little bit less parking than one to one. Yeah, get construction proven. So it's safe to say it's the same size of hotel 126 and | 00:19:05 | |
the number of parking spots is the same. So that one has 126. Well, I thought you mentioned here you're gonna have 126 parking | 00:19:12 | |
spells 122. | 00:19:19 | |
122 Oh, got you 122 yeah. And there are four more up there. OK. Yeah, so. | 00:19:27 | |
Cool, we're excited. Umm, and just to find out it it does mean Arizona code for parking. | 00:19:34 | |
Cool any other questions for you No, of course you got anything? No questions all right uh thank you guys for putting in that dog | 00:19:42 | |
area. That was a lot of money for questions uh, but yeah everything yeah I I saw that on the website that's why I brought it up in | 00:19:48 | |
the group meeting uh, it looks great umm. | 00:19:55 | |
Yeah, yeah, I didn't have any other questions either. Umm, sorry to have you guys here. Umm. That being said, does anybody wanna | 00:20:03 | |
make a motion? | 00:20:06 | |
You got it. | 00:20:13 | |
It went first. Yeah. You have the motion for him. | 00:20:17 | |
OK. | 00:20:29 | |
If I can beat you to it, I'm trying to find it as well. | 00:20:42 | |
So it's going to be so sample motion will be to approve the site plan and conditional use permit as requested by, you know, the | 00:20:46 | |
applicant, Randy Morris, umm, what the, you know, conditions provided if there isn't anything else you want to add to it. So I'm | 00:20:53 | |
going to approve the site plan and conditional use permits as requested by Brady Morris, the applicant with the conditions as | 00:20:59 | |
presented. | 00:21:06 | |
Try this again. | 00:21:13 | |
Second, all in favor. Aye. All right. Thanks again. OK, Thank you very much. | 00:21:15 | |
Alright, we do not have any work sessions, just staff Commission and committee report. | 00:21:23 | |
So in giving a staff update, we shared with the team earlier on about the grant that we received, the tax grant which was about | 00:21:40 | |
$129,000 to prepare. | 00:21:47 | |
You know, redesigned Mill Rd. to be a more safe. | 00:21:55 | |
You know, corridor, uh, we designed all the intersections, uh, I mean selected intersections as well as umm, preparing a way of | 00:21:59 | |
finding master plan for the entire city. Umm, we are at the state where we're about to push out an RFP to get consultants, umm, | 00:22:08 | |
you know, interest, like consultants to, you know, share their proposals with us and make a selection. So. | 00:22:17 | |
This should hopefully get out by Monday. | 00:22:27 | |
Of next week. | 00:22:29 | |
Assistant now we umm, we're in a good space and we will be engaging the Planning Commission, the BAC and obviously the rest of the | 00:22:32 | |
city and making these two plans work for us the. | 00:22:38 | |
Middle Roadside is going to tackle the missing link in the active transportation plan that really. | 00:22:47 | |
Solves the problem of, you know, active transportation uses and safety on the east side of the city and there will be treated | 00:22:56 | |
more, but in addition to the active application and update as well. So that's it for now. | 00:23:04 | |
Cool. And we'll have plenty of opportunity for the, uh, Commission to be a part of it. Most likely there'll be a steering | 00:23:14 | |
committee. I believe that's one that pay has indicated being on that side of the track that she, umm, would have interest in | 00:23:20 | |
sitting on. And there would be a spot for, for one more. Obviously we can't 3 And so if there's interest from it, it'll be a fun | 00:23:26 | |
one. So tackling to, uh, two major projects. Umm, the other thing too, I don't know if. | 00:23:32 | |
We introduced, introduced, uh, Madison Reed yet to, to you all. Madison Reed is excellent. She is in our community development | 00:23:39 | |
department working as a planning technician. | 00:23:43 | |
Umm recently graduated with her urban ecology degree from the University of Utah. She ran track umm, on on her team and uh, yeah, | 00:23:49 | |
it's just really excellent. I think you this is our. So this will be a month umm, on on the job and she's, she's doing a great | 00:23:56 | |
job. So we're really excited to have, uh, Madison. So please introduce yourselves to her and umm, yeah, she'll be a really | 00:24:04 | |
important part of kind of facilitating immediately. You know, Jenna's ready and our reports and staff reports prepared and. | 00:24:11 | |
Umm, or, you know, new uses, umm, put into the district use table. So working really closely with like our, our, uh, business | 00:24:49 | |
licensing, uh, employee and some other people throughout the city to, to kind of bolster our, our zoning code quite a bit more. | 00:24:55 | |
Umm, and that, I'm assuming maybe like October is when, uh, that'll come to the Planning Commission for review. Umm, so it'll be a | 00:25:01 | |
pretty good, uh, way for all of us to get to know the zoning code a little bit better. Umm, and the other projects that's gonna be | 00:25:06 | |
coming down the pipeline. | 00:25:12 | |
Planning Commission, hopefully August 7th, we're gonna have, umm, quite a few site plans. Uh, we have 4 site plans, uh, that we're | 00:25:18 | |
reviewing right now for Utah City, which does include the grocery store, umm, So August 7th we can hopefully, uh, have that | 00:25:26 | |
Planning Commission for review so they can get started on construction pretty soon. Umm, and then the fire station as well. We're | 00:25:33 | |
gonna be taking that through, umm, Planning Commission on August 7th and they're looking to start construction. | 00:25:40 | |
The next day if possible. | 00:25:47 | |
On that uh, so that's another exciting, uh, update in the city. Cool. | 00:25:49 | |
Good afternoon. I'm going to ask because it's July now, uh, Postal Service box. | 00:25:56 | |
Yeah, I did follow up with, uh, the post office, the post. | 00:26:05 | |
I know it's called the post director and the postmaster, and the comment that I had that delayed the whole process is because, | 00:26:09 | |
umm, we have, umm, we don't have the home, you know, the home mailboxes like it is in different cities where every home has its | 00:26:16 | |
own mailbox. We have a community, uh, style mailboxes and each of those ones have, umm, an outgoing mail slot. So that has been | 00:26:24 | |
one of the contributing factor to the reason why umm, they have. | 00:26:31 | |
Make this whole process. But according to them we are still conducting a study to justify the reason for really, you know, | 00:26:39 | |
bringing us mailbox in here. Yeah, just somewhere to drop off packages. I think one other potential update on that is we actually | 00:26:45 | |
one of the the biggest issues that we've had is finding the right person to talk to if you go up to the forum post service post | 00:26:52 | |
whatever billing, yeah. | 00:26:59 | |
They're always very busy and don't seem to have the time to talk to anybody. | 00:27:07 | |
But they actually came to our office, the one of the postmasters did, because they want to start talking about how mail is going | 00:27:12 | |
to work for the whole Utah City development and they really want to have an input on how those mailboxes are going to function. So | 00:27:18 | |
I think we have a way to have, you know, a good contact with somebody at the Postal Service that's willing to maybe help us out in | 00:27:23 | |
getting a post office box here. Y'all, OK. | 00:27:29 | |
John, uh, Curtis, he's doing a listening tour, I think it was August 5th or 7th here in Vineyard specifically for residents. Like | 00:27:36 | |
I signed up to talk to him about some other projects and stuff. Uh, but it's specifically he wanted to know, umm, and he's likely | 00:27:42 | |
to be our next senator as well, but specifically he wanted to know, uh, citizen needs for federal services. So I think that would | 00:27:48 | |
be a good example of one to go and talk to him. I know they're bringing SSA, IRS, other people to talk. I bet if you mentioned to | 00:27:54 | |
him. | 00:28:00 | |
We'd love to have post office there too. You could directly have that conversation and you can sign up for five minute increments | 00:28:06 | |
to actually talk and have the people there too. And that might make more movement happen than anything else. OK, when is that? Uh, | 00:28:13 | |
it was August 5th or 7th. OK, Umm, I'll look at my e-mail and I can forward you. It might still be a sign up spot. Perfect. You | 00:28:21 | |
know where that's located. Uh, they were doing it at, uh, what's the new credit union over there? Mountain America. | 00:28:28 | |
Or UCC Union Mountain America should isn't open yet. It's on the corner right by the UCC here. I'll just look it up. | 00:28:36 | |
First half. | 00:28:45 | |
If you use the one by the theater, there's just not a lot of space that you see you. | 00:28:48 | |
Pretty small because it's one of those like digital Credit Union. | 00:28:53 | |
Bye. | 00:28:57 | |
And the grand opening for a ton of people in there. I was calling. Maybe I'll just crammed in. Yeah, it's a lot smaller than their | 00:28:59 | |
typical layout. Yeah, he's doing it. It's August 5th, from 6th to 7:30. It's not America First Credit Union. OK. | 00:29:06 | |
Is where they're holding it umm, I do have one last little update uh, we should actually umm you mentioned mountain America credit | 00:29:14 | |
union should be opening sometime soon umm they're on mill Rd. there right on the corner as well as Jersey Mike's will be opening | 00:29:20 | |
up umm hopefully in the you know next week or two umm but yeah we've got we've had quite a few you know new businesses open in | 00:29:26 | |
that area the Kung Fu key and. | 00:29:33 | |
The ice cream, yeah, still melt. So we have quite a few businesses that are that are still coming to vineyards and helping the | 00:29:39 | |
yard fill up. | 00:29:44 | |
Michael awesome. Anything else from staff? That's everything Cool. Anything else from the Commission? I, I had a, a question and | 00:29:49 | |
maybe a request. So, umm, do we have any involvement in the discussion when they start discussing the umm, golf carts and how we | 00:29:54 | |
may change transportation around that or clarify rules? Is that something that Planning Commission needs to be considering? You | 00:30:00 | |
know, we haven't really been involved. It's more of the public right of way, But I mean, it could be. So I mean how we program | 00:30:06 | |
our. | 00:30:12 | |
To actually have like a good community layout structure. How do we change the road? So anything we could get maybe education wise | 00:31:19 | |
in a work session I think would be valuable. I know that we have looked at, we looked at a while back. I think it was, uh, ATVs. | 00:31:25 | |
I, I don't know all the weird acronyms, but umm, you know, side by side we, we look at those a couple years ago, umm, and I think | 00:31:31 | |
golf carts was one of those things that we looked at as well. Umm, now we're gonna be doing our lake trail and that will be | 00:31:37 | |
expanded to 15 feet, but honestly. | 00:31:43 | |
Route my thought would even be on the existing trail type system that we have. I think a lot of it is going to the different parts | 00:32:19 | |
to club houses, but it's probably gonna wanna people wanna have them down in the late front. So even minor adjustments or long | 00:32:25 | |
term findings or how we widen it how we sort of separation between bikes pedestrians, yeah cars. But it probably takes some of | 00:32:31 | |
that longer term signing to get it into some sort of. | 00:32:37 | |
Transportation. So Sam and I almost got run over. We really did. We were on a sidewalk talking with some engineers about adding a | 00:32:44 | |
across Tampa school and his first she was like a nine year old that she's taken the whole sidewalk. | 00:32:49 | |
Did not slow down. We all jumped off the sidewalk. So yeah, there's probably an appropriate place for him. But yeah, we definitely | 00:32:55 | |
need some rules that help help govern that if we if it's allowed. So. But there is a lot of them in the city and it's becoming | 00:33:00 | |
more and more. | 00:33:05 | |
Cool. There's nothing else from the Commission on staff then. Meeting adjourned. | 00:33:11 |
