Event transcript
We're ready, cash. OK. 00:00:02
All right. Then I will call to order our Vineyard Planning Commission meeting. 00:00:07
Although I did not ask somebody to give us an invocation or inspirational thought or Pledge of Allegiance. 00:00:14
Anthony, would you? 00:00:20
Like to do one of those 3? Sure. 00:00:23
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. 00:00:28
And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:00:33
I know I got that. 00:00:45
Thank you. All right. So we'll open up the the open session part of the agenda, this time dedicated for public comments, if 00:00:47
there's anybody in the public that has a public comment that they'd like to share on something that's not already on the agenda. 00:00:56
Feel free to stand and. 00:01:06
Make a comment. 00:01:09
OK. 00:01:12
Minutes, review and approval. 00:01:14
Did we have any minutes to approve? I don't see any on here that's anything. OK, then let's go right on to our business items, 00:01:19
Item 4.1, discussion and action on the Lakefront Trail pocket park. 00:01:24
Chris Wilson, Public Works director, Thank you, Planning Commission. 00:01:34
So. 00:01:40
This Wednesday we had taken this concept to City Council to get some feedback and approval and also wanted to bring it through 00:01:42
through this public meeting for approvals as well. 00:01:48
I don't know if cash are we able to share? 00:01:56
I'll plug in now. I just didn't know if you're going to share the agenda. 00:02:00
You might need to come to this desk. I'm having a hard time switching to HDMI. Is that possible? 00:02:30
There we go. There we go. 00:03:28
Sorry about that delay. 00:03:30
So just some background on this project. You can see an overall map here where this is located. 00:03:33
This. 00:03:40
Sits at the junction between the Shores subdivision and the James Bay subdivision. There was a small remnant of city and state 00:03:43
lands located in this little triangle when the trail was extended along James Bay. 00:03:53
As you can see in this blown up. 00:04:04
View here. 00:04:08
So it was Public Works was asked to put together a plan to improve this area as we've been looking at beautifying the the 00:04:09
lakefront in general concern here was just the weeds and. 00:04:16
Other things from the surrounding communities. 00:04:24
And a desire to potentially make a resting place for those going along the trail. So this this proposal. 00:04:27
This is how it was presented to the City Council. The proposal included adding five trees that are similar to what you see here, 00:04:37
Columbia Pine, more specifically a Bosnian Pine. These specific trees are located currently in the over by legend on this is the 00:04:44
small Little. 00:04:52
Pocket Open Space, that's right by Vineyard Rd. And Center St. 00:05:01
The proposal was then to add some sumac some. This is a ground cover that we would put in between the trees and the original 00:05:07
proposal was to put wood chips. The council asked us to look at some other options, something that wouldn't be as loose that could 00:05:14
get kicked out onto the trail. It seemed as though like a gravel was not as favorable as well. So another option they were 00:05:22
currently looking into is is like a decomposed granite. 00:05:29
That would be a more compacted material that would be less likely to kick up, that wouldn't track out onto the trail as much and 00:05:38
the concept would be that that interior space maybe something similar to this where we could. 00:05:45
Have the bench in the middle of that and then have a border going around where we would still do the wood chip around the ground 00:05:54
cover in the in the trees. 00:05:59
So with with that, we'll turn it over to any questions that you might have for me. 00:06:05
Is there gonna be a fence around it? Where other properties about? 00:06:12
So currently there's there are no fences. 00:06:16
And usually in this situation this the city wouldn't. 00:06:21
Offense this. 00:06:25
The vegetation would act as a barrier. I know the property owner on the north side intends on putting a fence along their property 00:06:28
there. 00:06:33
Would we account for gates if they want egress ingress onto the trail from their properties? Yeah, there. There will be some gaps 00:06:39
here and there that we could provide that ability. Yes. Thank you. 00:06:45
I know the the owner to the north has expressed that that he would like a gate in there. 00:06:54
How big is the space is this Chris I so and you can see the dimensions and maybe you can't see them across the top. It's about 52 00:07:00
feet. 00:07:05
And about 80 feet this way. 00:07:10
Divided by two. 00:07:16
One one reason that the trees were pulled in was supposed to that we we wouldn't hinder any access because we know the the 00:07:21
resident just to the east uses that to access the path that that portion of the yard. 00:07:28
So there are residents back here on the east side. 00:07:38
As well as on the Northside, Yep. Yeah. So it touches kind of three and at the very point in the South and then you have east and 00:07:41
north. 00:07:44
So how did this request? 00:07:48
How was the city even entertained? This idea as a pocket part versus other places around helmet might also be? 00:07:51
Doing that, we're doing Waterfront master plan and part of the Waterfront Master plan is asking us to look at like every quarter 00:08:00
mile trying to provide a place for shade place, Yeah. And so this is honestly a spot that that we've looked at in the past, the 00:08:06
Waterfront Master plan, what one thing they wanted us to do is try to work with the both property owners to get an actual trail 00:08:12
through there and that that's probably not very likely. 00:08:18
But it does show improvements here and so we've we've kind of identified this area as as a great spot for Parka Park anyway and so 00:08:25
that this would be just kind of that first implementation of the waterfront master plan. 00:08:31
It wouldn't be at the request of the property owner that we're doing part of the master plan. 00:08:38
That's the emphasis behind it, because I'm just thinking about what precedents are we studying. 00:08:44
For the rest of the Community, if there are so-called unimproved growth. 00:08:50
For pocket art potentials. 00:08:55
You know, we took that this request went to the City Council and the City Council thought, I thought it was a good one. 00:09:34
And there's some low framing. This is kind of like a low hanging fruit opportunity. We do have funding in our arborist budget to 00:09:39
to plant trees within the city. And so this is kind of an opportunity we thought OK hey we we do have some the current budget that 00:09:47
that could be applied to this and and not be a very costly or impactful. These trees are consistent with our tree plant in the 00:09:54
city. Yeah, we're we may, we may. 00:10:02
We're still. 00:10:10
There was a few members as we reviewed this arborist suggested these trees, but we we are going back and looking and verifying 00:10:12
that these are the best trees for this location. So we will we will be verifying that before we solidify the exact tree. 00:10:21
Is there an estimated cost on what it would cost to do what? Yeah, right. With this plan as as it's shown with where we originally 00:10:31
were thinking of doing the mulch, the wood chip there we were, we were estimating about $2000 for those improvements obviously 00:10:37
plus our staff time. 00:10:44
We've we haven't been able to get pricing together and availability for the the the crushed granite or decomposed granite. But as 00:10:51
soon as we do, we'll be able to update some of those numbers and what that cost may be. We also talked about doing a pad concrete 00:11:01
or extending the asphalt to provide a pad for the bench. So that may still be part of that or we may just do all. 00:11:10
All granite. 00:11:21
Truss rock there. 00:11:22
Would there be a trash can and maybe a dog back station as well? Yeah, that was a that was a request by council as well as to 00:11:25
provide a a dog bag, state station and a receptacle here. 00:11:32
Yeah. 00:11:40
You know just it's up for consideration tonight. Just a quick comment or question. There was some scout troop or something that I 00:12:21
heard of that was making benches for places in the city. Maybe this would be a good location for something like that. I. 00:12:28
You know on the the downside of the slope and he was he he was asking that we considered you know. 00:13:10
If we're removing some of those to cut one of those up and maybe do like a flat cut on top. So I mean that's not the potential and 00:13:16
there's like a free bench or something that we can get through the youth council or some other organization, you know there's 00:13:21
there's probably some unique opportunities out there. 00:13:26
Putting my other hat on and from the heritage perspective. 00:13:32
We're always looking for opportunities to create or present the design of heritage in any benches or trash receptacles or anything 00:13:36
like that to have like a consistent theme maybe along the trail, you know and so that wouldn't work so well probably with the log 00:13:43
bench, but it it would be very easy to do in a metal bench, you know, if if that were pursued at all. So I just like to put that 00:13:51
out there that and if you're going to design A bench. 00:13:58
And it would be metal. We'd like to have some input into that. What maybe some design of that could be? So what is your next 00:14:06
meeting, Heritage meeting not until the first Tuesday of May? 00:14:12
What you guys sound like we have some time on the bench. So I mean if if you wanted to what what I would suggest is I'm just like 00:14:20
a citizen can can bring a proposal the heritage Commission if you have like a design style or something like that that that you 00:14:25
would encourage some elements that you would like incorporated into. 00:14:30
You know future furniture and stuff that we put out, right. I you know that that might be a good work session for for you guys to 00:14:36
have and then just provide a recommendation and then the City Council could consider that. Yeah especially along the trail 00:14:41
systems. You know it's it would be nice to have a consistent theme depth throughout if if we could but it wouldn't work in a log 00:14:47
bench probably. 00:14:52
Well, I'm ready for the log. We could just roll back down the hill if we don't like it. 00:14:58
Are we ready for any wayfinding signage right now for our trail system or is that still a ways off as far as planning that all 00:15:04
'cause it? This would be this and any other stopping points would be a good places to put that. 00:15:10
Mr. Madora, state engineer, also surprisingly, needs a long arm to reach the mic. 00:15:19
You know Einstein's actually with the. 00:15:25
When it comes to the front liner station, it's going up on downtown Vintage. We partner with ETA and also MAG in order for some 00:15:30
designs to be done. And we're actually got some ones that have been using the mag template, UTA provider, some more concepts 00:15:38
specifically for the front organizations. And we intend to put those up, see how they're done and then we're playing them up 00:15:45
expeditiously in order to meet their requirements for the front runner station opening. And then with that kind of feel and. 00:15:53
Implement those type of Wi-Fi signs throughout the city as well so they can. They're consistent. I know Brian has been working 00:16:02
with our friends in Orem as well to ensure that the signs that permanent signs were planning signs we have up. It is consistent 00:16:08
with our friends in our in London. 00:16:13
Thanks for the update. Yeah. So I mean my my thought on this is sounds like we covered like consulting the Heritage Commission for 00:16:20
bench ideas, making sure there's a dog waste station there and then when it's appropriate. I wouldn't want to rush it and have a 00:16:26
sign that didn't fit the others, but when it's appropriate, putting away signing, fine there. 00:16:33
About. 00:17:12
Doing a design for manhole covers for sewer, storm drain and such. And so the foundry that we that most of that products come 00:17:13
through is presented some options if we want to do some customized things like that. So that they've been the heritage 00:17:21
Commission's been working on putting together a design and maybe when they're done with that, that's something that could be 00:17:28
implemented into other things as well and maybe some standards put with the benches and other things so. 00:17:36
Very cool. 00:17:44
So, so I I like the concept of utilizing open space that the city owns and otherwise doesn't have a a purpose to it I guess like 00:17:46
here, but I'm wondering if. 00:17:52
I guess I'm just concerned this isn't precedent setting or it is and will continue following this because what I heard you say, 00:17:59
Morgan, is that if the land, if a private landowner. 00:18:04
Has city. 00:18:10
Land behind their fence, let's say, and it's just open and it's just dirt right now. Anyone could come in and request the city to 00:18:12
put something nice in there on the ground, cover trees, benches, or whatever. 00:18:19
I'm even thinking just out behind the city building here, there's a block of dirt out there. That's. 00:18:27
Just there. And I'm just wondering is there anything the city could do to improve that? 00:18:34
I don't just can I comment on that a little bit. All right. So with a lot of the places in the city that do have land behind homes 00:18:39
are are part of a bigger plan like that. That for instance would be part of the plan that we're trying to do for that that whole 00:18:47
wetland area or for the areas behind the shores and such those those are all part of a bigger plan too. So, so this would fit into 00:18:54
that. So yeah, I would I would think that this would fit into that and then I guess. 00:19:02
A question that I would have for staff is. 00:19:11
Do we have a lot of spaces like this where the city owns, like, I don't know, 1/10 of an acre behind people's homes? What's it 00:19:12
called orphan, orphan space or? 00:19:17
I mean this is part of the trail corridor and then the trail we found the alignment would be better you know moving it further to 00:19:25
the to the West. I mean you know trust receives a lot more these requests, but we don't receive a ton of like pocket park type 00:19:31
requests. I mean that we have had the resident there bring up the piece that you brought to him. So that that would be a great. 00:19:38
You know, a little spot for us to look at as a city and see if we can improve it. It obviously does help if it's part of a plan as 00:19:45
this is part of kind of like the waterfront master plan of of adding pocket parks along the trail and shade. It seemed to fit in 00:19:51
and so and yeah, and it wasn't a huge budget item. 00:19:58
So I think you know like something like that that space out there too. I mean those are definitely areas that the that the city 00:20:05
can can look at. I would definitely recommend that we get the the open space corridor master plan in place. Brian as you know he, 00:20:11
he provided the foundational document through his graduate studies and we still have a really good plan that hasn't officially 00:20:17
been approved. So we are moving into the the official planning of that. We're going to hire a consultant and having our first 00:20:23
meeting I believe in two weeks. 00:20:29
To choose a consultant we're aiming for next Thursday, well that next Thursday. So yeah so we'll be moving on that process so like 00:20:36
those kind of things it would be nice to have the master plan in place just so whatever we do our improvements fit in with a 00:20:43
comprehensive plan and kind of you know they're they're not like a little one offs but still it's up to the if the City Council 00:20:50
said pull the trigger on it then we would come back to the Planning Commission with the site plan and we we go forward with it so. 00:20:57
I actually think it's great like I I think it would actually I actually like the President of of utilizing these little pockets of 00:21:06
of rather than have it being you know a patch of weed. So if if someone were to find you know a piece that's not being utilized 00:21:12
and it can be to the benefit of the city and it's, it fits within all the you know the budget and you know it makes sense, checks 00:21:19
the boxes and I think it's great you know to have these little pockets. 00:21:26
Fill in these little parts of our city with. 00:21:34
Small amenities, you know, small improvements. 00:21:38
So I think it would be great to do this and and and maybe even set the precedent. And I think that there's a really cool 00:21:42
storytelling opportunity with it. Like I what I've kind of been running through my head is just like, what can we do with that 00:21:47
little? 00:21:51
That's the the edge of the lake or something that I guess what I would the the the next layer I would ask on this is what what 00:22:30
additional meaning can we apply here you know that that adds value to our. 00:22:37
You know that and into its that location being on this on the lakefront but it's up a little bit the bench is kind of cool because 00:22:46
you probably you know depending on the trees you might be able to you know see the lake have prospect up but it's bigger than I 00:22:51
than I realized like that's it's a pretty large amount of space So that's the only other question too is I wonder the scale of 00:22:57
what we've drawn there like. 00:23:03
Like the box of the bench. It might even be big enough to have more than one bench. Like the one bench might feel really small. 00:23:10
And that big of a space is something. Maybe you have to. I don't know. Yeah, So I almost. These are things that like. 00:23:18
Yeah, it could be pretty easy to, yeah. So I almost wonder if like maybe a scale. 00:23:26
Drawing like I love the idea. I think it's great to do. 00:23:31
To fill it in and and I think that the crush granite it's a good idea. 00:23:36
The only thing on like the the vegetation is is is to think about like just make keeping visibility on the ground for safety 00:23:42
purposes and everything like that too. I would I would say it's a good recommendation as well and we've had if I'm not mistaken 00:23:48
we've had history there of. 00:23:54
Drug traffic, you know, more seedy side of the population along the lakefront. 00:24:01
And I'm just wondering if by building something nice if that would attract more activity of that nature, homelessness or anything 00:24:07
like that that that we wouldn't want to create. So that's that's part of the history you don't want representative. 00:24:16
So I mean I I can think of like locations in the Northwest like both in Portland and Seattle where I spent time that they would 00:24:27
they would do a lot of these little pocket parks and some would have like. 00:24:32
It would have like an exercise theme like it would have these like outdoor like equipment for people. Maybe that's an idea along 00:24:38
the trail and it's got like this like structure for people to use for for exercise or yeah, I don't know. You know or it's or 00:24:44
again just kind of storytelling aspect or there's. 00:24:50
And stop and activate it. I think that will help hopefully to keep. 00:25:30
I think, I think more people going there's. I think it's better than, you know is this gonna be lighted at night? No. OK. 00:25:36
Well, they need to be irrigated or is there water in the area? No, there's not. So that we will have to do some temporary water 00:25:43
provisions. So we will come up with some bladders that will be able to establish the trees. It may take. It will take some extra 00:25:49
staff time to do that, but we'll have other places in the city that will routinely be visiting as well with this kind of a similar 00:25:55
situation, establishing trees. 00:26:02
Arborist thinks about two years for establishment period on these and then they should be able to be self sustained without a 00:26:09
constant water supply. 00:26:13
Another idea I was thinking about too. I know we, I think we talked about this when we were looking at the public works building 00:26:18
and in relationship to our plant and our tree manual and that our water wise plants and local scapes. Kind of a lot of things 00:26:25
we've talked about in the city and it'd be cool to have somewhere like a little demonstration. 00:26:32
Type of the local skates scheme so that that could give the residents an idea of what to do at their house. That's been talked 00:27:23
about. Well, hopefully it will come through. 00:27:28
So it sounds like there's a lot to consider and I guess maybe as a way for us to to move forward at least with with the trees you 00:27:35
could, you could approve this with like the you know, with the planting, the the trees and the shrubs is shown with the idea that 00:27:42
that we that we come back maybe with with a few different proposals. 00:27:48
You know, we could, we could workshop it a little bit more if you'd like. 00:27:57
It's up. It's up to you. Yeah. I like the idea too, of the crushed granite. Is that what it's called, rather than the? 00:28:03
The wood chips, they seem to blow and move around, but so something a little more permanent. 00:28:10
Seems good too and and then this would be a good one. It's not not a public hearing, but to open it up and David probably has some 00:28:17
comments and then Tay too to see if you know any comments. Got the motion to open a public hearing. 00:28:23
Public comments, right? Yeah. You don't need a public area. Yeah, we've been. It's an official notice, public hearing, but you can 00:28:32
just open up for a couple, then we'll open it up for public comments. 00:28:36
Thanks. I just want to get an idea of the relative size of it. So we say it's 50 feet wide, 80 feet long on one side. How wide is 00:28:49
this room? 00:28:54
20. 00:29:02
Is it? It's 40 at least. 00:29:06
468101214, so so just 32 by 30 is more than the width of this room so this is a good size space. So I would I would suggest them 00:29:10
that you're drawing any trees in your bench or not to scale or one and then #2, it really would be a good place to put some large 00:29:18
piece of equipment that we've been trying to find a place for Tim. 00:29:25
It was like vintage farm equipment. Yeah, exactly. We have some things they're being stored right now off site. Well, we need to 00:29:34
find homes for pretty quickly. 00:29:39
A good place? 00:29:45
Take your data. 00:29:48
I would, I would say. I've seen. 00:29:52
How the tractors are treated that are in high traffic areas with rocks through windows, I imagine this something like that could. 00:29:55
I mean it is a little more secluded area so hopefully if if we put something there I'd want it to be something that was not 00:30:00
fragile. 00:30:05
Yeah. 00:30:13
So I mean obviously it's on, it's on the agenda for us to take an action tonight. 00:30:18
I mean, maybe a month. 00:30:57
So it's it's not a rush if we need time to talk about it, if we wanna have all the elements together at one time. 00:30:59
However you'd like to see it. 00:31:09
I and maybe it's just I haven't like David a little bit. I'm a little hung up on the scale and and wanting maybe just a little 00:31:12
more specific plan just to take into account the scale and make sure we're not missing an an opportunity or. 00:31:19
Or it's going too small. It's pretty close to scale. The trees are 10 foot OK on center. The the trees themselves, the shapes may 00:31:27
not be quite to scale but location of the center of them is to scale. They're 10 foot off of the property lines and such. But 00:31:35
maybe the shapes of the like, the actual size of what that tree will be, it may be a little bit more than that but it's not that 00:31:42
far off. Early off, yeah, the the bench, definitely I threw in there as a box. 00:31:50
But I think there's an opportunity we could, I mean, I I would be willing to to put forward a motion, but one of the things that I 00:31:58
think we could put in there is that you know, if it's if there's room for more than one bench and it makes sense. 00:32:04
Especially if we've got groups willing to donate or build or something like that, I think that makes a lot of sense. 00:32:10
So that would be like a condition to it. We we approve the, yeah, I think there's a few things in there that I mean if I and I 00:32:20
will make a motion if the time is free, but is there any other discussion? OK. 00:32:27
Well then I'll make a motion to approve staff to proceed with the Lakeside Pocket Park project as proposed, with the additional 00:32:34
guidance of the decomposed granite for the ground cover. 00:32:40
When it when it's open, or soon after getting the dog station, or a wastebasket when wayfinding sign goes in, that would be a good 00:32:48
place for it as well. And then. 00:32:53
If there's if there's room for additional benches and we find ways to obtain it from donors or heritage Commission or whatever it 00:33:01
might be, to program it accordingly. 00:33:07
The end Then we'll bring it back to you. 00:33:14
Oh yeah. 00:33:17
I'm OK trusting staff with it, but. 00:33:20
We'll see if there's a second part. 00:33:24
That was a long motion. It was so if I understood it, I can second it. 00:33:28
Yeah, the 2nd pushes it to a motion. If you don't then it'll die. If you want me to just recap it, it's as is. Plus dog station, 00:33:36
decomposed granite, additional benches if there's room, and there's one other. 00:33:43
Yeah. And I would just say and incorporating any heritage elements possible and that and that's the piece that I think would be 00:33:52
good because that that's more upsetting the the standard. So that's more of like a planning policy thing and so we we would bring 00:33:56
that. 00:34:00
But we would be talking about more holistically in the city, not just the Parka park. 00:34:06
And you don't put that emotion well. Will it be this? No to bring it back? 00:34:11
OK. So Tim, you seconded. Yes. OK, all in favor, aye. 00:34:16
Great. OK. Thank you, Chris. 00:34:22
Item 4.2. Discussion and action on a pump station. 00:34:27
So this is a another site plan approval, so currently we're working on. 00:34:33
Our our water tank and booster station as well as some fencing that will go around the Public Works yard. So what we'll be looking 00:34:41
at here is. 00:34:46
Some aesthetics that will be on the the water tank. 00:34:52
The booster station and and that fencing and getting your input and approvals on that this has gone out to bid. It is something 00:34:56
that council seen and as well and and and we're in that process but with a few items we're just picking out and confirming with 00:35:03
the contractor so. 00:35:10
This is a. 00:35:19
Overview of the site. 00:35:21
The you can see the the bottom of the. 00:35:28
Is the pages 1600 N as it runs into the the Linden Marina, the railroad tracks to the right. The big rectangle is the water tank 00:35:32
with you can see all the Piers that will be inside there for the structure. The box up to the north of it is future expansion as 00:35:40
needed with growth and this. 00:35:49
Structure that's here is the booster station. 00:36:00
And this just kind of demonstrates a lot of the piping that's in there as well. Across the the railroad track side, we've already 00:36:03
installed a black vinyl coated chain link fence that was done as a betterment with the the railroads double, double UTA double 00:36:10
track project. 00:36:17
And what's proposed with the fencing is to match the the West side with that same black vinyl coated chain link and then across 00:36:25
the front the desire is to put. 00:36:32
A A wrought iron look with some intermittent columns. 00:36:42
Rock columns or CMU type columns, so. 00:36:50
To step you through each one of these now. 00:36:54
It's right now in our bid, we have the. 00:36:58
Option to either leave the the face of the the tank structure as just a smooth concrete face. It would just be Gray concrete, just 00:37:01
nothing finished. Look like your driveway but a vertical wall. 00:37:10
The other option that's proposed that we have in the budget is to do this. 00:37:20
Finished look on the side. That would give it like a barn wood or reclaimed wood look, but it would still be just a Gray concrete, 00:37:27
so it would give us some dimension and some better aesthetic feel. 00:37:34
The the one part that may if I go back up to the site plan. So right now we're we're accommodating for all four sides to get that 00:37:42
look in our bid. There is a desire which will probably come back through here. I'm not sure when soon I hope for the project sake 00:37:49
this. 00:37:56
Easter Eastern face Here. We may want to keep it as a smooth wall. 00:38:05
For a future mural or something like that that's that's been desired by council and and and others, what's the difference in cost 00:38:12
there? Because I can think of a few things that are to spend money on than making it water tank pretty. Personally definitely it 00:38:18
is if I remember right like 100 and 5200 thousand. 00:38:25
Dollars, I'd have to look back at the the bid sheet, but I believe it was in that that range. 00:38:33
So I'll move, I'll move forward and get just interrupted if you have other comments, otherwise I'll just keep. I'll keep moving 00:38:44
along. 00:38:46
So here's your elevations of the the booster station. It is proposed to be ACNU building, similar to other Public Works facilities 00:38:53
that we have in the city. 00:38:59
You can see it's a metal metal roof and some metal gabling and then the rest of it is. Is CMU the. 00:39:06
Desires to do a skirt that will be maybe a three foot couple courses up to maybe around 3 foot high. The proposed right now is 00:39:17
that would be a split face block and then above that would be. 00:39:25
A smooth and we would differentiate with two different colors. 00:39:34
Yeah, yeah. So this is a really close up for you. 00:39:39
So right now the desire would be a this charcoal. 00:39:45
Or black, Sorry, black split face on the bottom and then having a smooth Gray on top. 00:39:51
And I can pass it around if you guys want to close. 00:39:57
The color scheme was this Gray look was desired so that we could somewhat match the existing building that there that has Gray and 00:40:04
and some Blues to it, where these colors should should match pretty well. The other desire was to make this. 00:40:14
A differentiated from our other facilities like our wastewater facilities, so across the street. 00:40:25
I don't know that I have a picture of it, but. 00:40:32
And and this is not a good example because this is our Pi comp house, but it is secondary water, but most of our wastewater 00:40:36
buildings are are brown color and so the idea was to to differentiate from those. So this would be identifiable as a different 00:40:45
facility than wastewater. So across the street is one of our list stations that is a brown color I showed this to. 00:40:54
Give you an idea, The metal roofing would be something similar to this. 00:41:03
Black like like this is and then that Gray upper with the lower black split face. 00:41:08
Any questions on on that? 00:41:20
This is a kind of give you an idea of what that chain link will look like, and I believe I have a. 00:41:25
Something better for you to see here. 00:41:32
So this is an example of one of our wastewater facilities here where it's a the black vinyl chain chain link fence. 00:41:35
So that's what's proposed there the the rock columns, this is an example of what that could look like proposed would be using 00:41:42
accenting with this additional charcoal color. 00:41:50
Being all all of that with a that concrete cap on the top. 00:42:01
This is the This is for the columns intermittent along the wrought iron fence, correct? 00:42:09
This is an example of a facility Provo City water tank where they have a similar that wrought iron fence in the front with the 00:42:16
rock columns. They did a like a rock. 00:42:23
Relief on the the street side of their tank, but then the other sides, as you can see are just bare concrete and then the. 00:42:33
The other side of the property, they've just done this black vinyl coated fence, so that can kind of give you an idea of what that 00:42:41
may look like. 00:42:45
And I think that's all I got for you. 00:42:55
If you have any questions besides that, the main water tank was 6,000,000, yeah, it's a 6,000,000 gallon tank. 00:42:58
And then just north of there, I noticed there's a proposed addition. 00:43:07
Another two million. I think right now we've reserved space for up to 3 million just depending on on final build out. 00:43:11
I think 2,000,000 is what we felt was when we did our water master plan that additional 2,000,000 would be adequate, but we 00:43:22
reserve enough for 3 million in case that was what was needed. And the construction of these two tanks or at least one maybe 00:43:29
another will give us the capacity for the growth, anticipated growth of vineyard, yes, per the per the master plan that's that's 00:43:35
what's anticipated, yes. 00:43:42
What is the proposed height of the tank? So the tank will, I think it's about 24 to 26 feet tall with there'll be a little bit of 00:43:51
it buried and some. 00:43:57
Backfill up against it, sloped up against it a couple feet, but overall out of the ground it'll be in that 2022 foot range. 00:44:06
What's right across the street from that in the master plan? 00:44:18
I have to do this S to the South. So right in the master plan, yeah, what's planned to be there. So that's the so so you have the 00:44:23
the the the lift station is there but kind of that that that's also kind of the very tip if you go a little further of the of the 00:44:30
Vineyard downtown area and that specific area would be the what we're calling Geneva Park. And so it'd be about like an 18 to 25 00:44:37
acre park that would be. 00:44:44
That would provide the hills that cap, the material that that needed to be contained. Yeah. Now that that's not the canoe, the 00:44:52
Camus on the other side. So this is less contaminated soil, but still are still required to be capped. So yeah, if you look up 00:44:58
there, so the idea was to turn that into a park with with some hills that that are, you know, so open space we thought about that 00:45:04
could potentially be a great spot for a mountain bike park because you have to have some train there. So we definitely want to 00:45:10
utilize it and. 00:45:16
Yeah, there's been concepts of like Mount Mike parking some sort of like an adventure type park, something exciting that that can 00:45:23
pull people in from the region. So the the yellow line here shows the vignette connector alignment and this is where they'll have 00:45:29
a large overpass structure that would go over the railroad tracks. So that would be sitting. 00:45:35
You know, significantly higher, maybe twice the height of the water tank. 00:45:41
This is the lift station here. 00:45:47
That's currently there. And then I think the bigger question Morgan would be is what is the future of this property right here? 00:45:50
Visually though, this will be a when you come over that overpass, this on one side, parked on the other. 00:46:30
Going to be their first introduction to that if they come that way to downtown. Yeah, exactly. And that's what we're thinking like 00:46:37
the doing potentially have like a mural or some some nice signage on on this that E facing side of the of the water tank. It could 00:46:44
be cool you know and we thought of like maybe there's a way that it's it's a sign that you change and. 00:46:50
You could, you know, you could put like dates for big events and things. So those people on the front runner, they see things that 00:46:58
are going to be, you know, happen inventory. So basically 2526 feet high. How, how long are you thinking of the square footage? 00:47:04
Yeah, it's if I recall correctly, it's like 260 ish feet long. 00:47:11
Almost Football Field. 00:47:20
Is there gonna be any trees or anything on this property? So so currently so if I go back to the photos, so we haven't. 00:47:22
We haven't proposed any landscaping. We've grubbed out all the invasive trees. There was a lot of Russian olive along here. We 00:47:34
left the these existing larger trees that we believe cottonwoods that for now we left them. We haven't proposed any landscaping 00:47:40
here yet because. 00:47:47
The in the next little first of all, we don't have a complete Rd. so we don't really have a defined area, not a curb and gutter to 00:47:54
landscape up against and. 00:47:59
Tends to get difficult to contain landscaping up against asphalt and then. 00:48:05
The other desire to hold off is the Linden Heritage Trail will eventually come through here. They may be a couple years out, but 00:48:10
they'll be there's a 20 foot swath between the where the fence is and the edge of the road and that trail will take over half that 00:48:18
or half of that width. And we would just whatever we end up putting there ends up getting torn out when that happens. So not being 00:48:25
an underdeveloped area. 00:48:33
The desire was to wait on that landscaping until we had a better idea of what would come there. 00:48:40
And based off of the angle of the overpass and the train tracks, I assume that it's going to be very similar to what we have on 00:48:47
Geneva Road. And if that's the case, you won't even be able to see this building from the road. I I'd be surprised if you could 00:48:53
see the building from the road so. 00:48:59
It's the same thing as Anthony is I I don't think it needs to be super aesthetically pleasing. And then when you look at the other 00:49:07
side too, it's that that's your industrial area, you're just going to have warehouse boxes. 00:49:14
On the other side, so it'll. 00:49:21
It'll blend in. 00:49:24
With basically that concrete. 00:49:25
Mixing guy, right? That came through on the other side. 00:49:28
Yeah. 00:49:31
Q6. 00:49:36
Yeah, you're right. That's what I'm saying is your elevation on that overpass, you're going to be up. 00:49:37
Higher than the building. 00:49:42
Yeah, you'll see Do create, can we do we do a green roof. So the the roof is. 00:49:45
Will have like a rock scape cover over it. So it won't just be a concrete lid, it'll have a a protective layer over the top of 00:49:53
rock and like gravel and stuff. So we're talking like Conference Center rock park, sure. 00:50:01
That was a joke. That's our demonstration garden to be one of those green boxes. We'll let the bridge grow through the lid and 00:50:12
down into the. 00:50:15
Yeah, of course. I mean the architect in me was like excited about the board from concrete, but. 00:50:24
But yeah, I think that this is going to be buried. I I think what I'm thinking about too is like down the road, if we've got an 00:50:32
overpass coming through here, we've got the front runner station passing along it. 00:50:37
I think it. 00:50:44
The other disadvantage of the board forum is this. This could be a target for for tagging and that kind of stuff too, because it's 00:50:46
kind of a discrete area along the tracks and so I think a mural is kind of cool or something like to be intentional about. 00:50:53
Being intentional to put some artwork there so that if people are riding along the front runner, they're they're looking out there 00:51:00
seeing something, but. 00:51:03
But I could see as everything kind of comes together, that area could be kind of this. 00:51:08
I don't know, maybe the best area to put the porch on concrete. Unfortunately we will have security cameras there, so at least 00:51:14
we'll have video of them as they as a tagging. 00:51:18
We can hire them, yeah, they're good. Then they can do the whole thing. 00:51:23
The track. 00:51:29
Yeah. 00:51:32
Any other thoughts on that? You talk about the fence too. I for me personally, I think everything you propose on the fence is 00:51:34
fine. I think the colors. 00:51:39
That all makes sense. 00:51:44
It doesn't make sense to me that wastewater buildings be brown. 00:51:46
Any other thoughts or comments? 00:52:01
What's the projection? So the we have an issue that we've bid it out and awarded it for the booster station on the tank and the 00:52:07
the fencing. They have yet they haven't received their notice to proceed. They're just finishing up some documents and we'll get 00:52:14
them rolling hopefully before the end of the month. 00:52:21
They'll be the the whole process will go about 400. 00:52:30
26 days. So that'll put them into the end of July of 2023. 00:52:36
Their first the schedule that they propose they want to start working on the the exterior fencing first to secure the site better 00:52:44
so if they are working there and leaving materials and equipment that they'll feel more secure. 00:52:52
And they'll work on ground improvement improvements first. So they have to add in some ground stabilization to help with 00:53:01
liquefaction under the tank because it's so, so heavy. 00:53:07
They and they'll start working on that booster station and the two parallel. We'll just take quite a bit of time to get done. 00:53:15
We're talking a couple of years out in terms of having a function. Yeah, they'll be done in by the end of July of 2023. So just a 00:53:23
little over here, a year and a couple months. 00:53:30
This is something that we're taking action on too, right? 00:53:41
Correct. So if anybody's ready with the motion. 00:53:45
Any conditions of any kind? 00:53:55
The city would need to meet other than what we've talked about. 00:53:58
Yeah, If you have preference for like the material on the exterior, I think I heard a comment from you Jeff, but there was 00:54:01
something specific there that you want to capture in a in a condition if you wanted to you know make sure there was a spot for the 00:54:07
mural. So maybe like there's not we don't do the the board siding on the the east facing side. 00:54:13
Just help me up. However you guys want to approach it, we can. 00:54:19
You can add a condition. 00:54:23
I mean, I think if we can save money in that regard. 00:54:29
I think it would be beneficial. So it would it be the board siding on everything but that. 00:54:32
But they use space inside. I don't think we need any board sighting personally, but that's just personally. 00:54:39
Aesthetic preference and and did I hear correctly there would be a difference around $200,000 roughly if we were to do that on all 00:54:47
four sides, correct. So you know if there's a way to save the 200,000 then? 00:54:53
And then put it in the murals or on the other things that would enhance it. 00:55:00
Right there. So that that I would suggest if we're gonna put money into something that that might be the spot to do it. It's kind 00:55:37
of a trail entrance into the the park that one is building into the Marina. 00:55:42
And and this is off the wall, well maybe it's on the wall but if we were to having this pump the storage tank, is it such that it 00:55:47
could be turned into a climbing wall in the future. I mean if that if there was interest in doing something like that. So I stand 00:55:55
corrected it was 85 that their bid was 85,545 to put the for the form liner that's still, I mean it's still a sizeable amount of 00:56:03
money but so, so. 00:56:11
Again, it would it damage the water tank at all if it were to be used as a climbing wall sometime in the future. So that that I 00:56:19
the idea would be to keep it as secure facility, yeah, so. 00:56:25
Not open to public access? Yeah, OK. 00:56:34
Makes sense. I mean, I'll jokes aside about the green roof, Like even that's like the the roof is worth thinking and maybe maybe 00:56:38
we're thinking too far down the road. So I don't know when we're getting that overpass on the vineyard connector, but like, that's 00:56:45
a more visible piece to me, it seems like then especially the inside concrete walls, even on the. So I think, I think doing just 00:56:51
the regular concrete walls, having a mural or some option opportunity on the the east side of the face of the front runner line, I 00:56:58
think it's a good idea. 00:57:04
Yeah, I think if we could get a mural there where people come into the front like. 00:57:11
This is in your You're in downtown now. Would be kind of cool, personally. 00:57:18
Plus, if it gets defeated, you can paint over it again, right? I guess you could do that with a with a form well too. 00:57:23
Yeah. 00:57:31
I couldn't find them. Do we want to? Are there any public comments on this before we? 00:57:33
OK, OK. 00:57:43
OK, so there wasn't a motion in the agenda or anything, but I think I could make one up. 00:57:48
So I moved to approve the pump station plans as presented with the condition that the concrete formed walls are not. 00:57:54
Text Jared. 00:58:10
Concrete form liners, smooth textured. 00:58:11
Appearance. So that's kind of why we presented that. 00:59:25
With the feedback from the council and stuff like that and cost has come up. I mean how does the and I'm not I I just think that I 00:59:28
I know this there's been discussion about this it it like is is it something that that is already funded for that like if they did 00:59:35
do the siding that we have the funds to to pull the trigger on it. Yeah it's approved in the budget so it's it but it would be 00:59:43
just a like funds we wouldn't use so it would be it would be a savings. 00:59:50
My point is from the Planning Commission standpoint is I would look at it aesthetically if you if if you feel that just a plain 00:59:58
you know, a plain look would would, would would look better than than adding sighting like you know something to kind of cover the 01:00:04
the tank and then I would suggest that you pull it off. But if from an aesthetic standpoint you actually think that the sighting 01:00:10
looks better than I, I, then there's from a budget standpoint it's already covered and so we're trying to move forward. So, so for 01:00:16
me personally. 01:00:22
Aesthetic wise like. 01:00:28
You know, put a slogan up there, you know, so there's, there's things that you could do later on with the top of the tank also to 01:01:49
give a little bit better visual and one one thought too again and just thinking of scale, like we were talking about the size, the 01:01:55
length of that wall, what we're talking about almost the length of a football field. 01:02:02
That's a gigantic mural, so it might even be. 01:02:09
One option to propose is that. 01:02:16
You you leave some smooth sections. 01:02:19
For murals on that wall. 01:02:23
Because maybe a 280 foot long mural. 01:02:26
That's just that's that's pretty big. I can't think of one right now that's that we have in this area. 01:02:31
And I mean, the murals are cool. When you ride Front Runner and you go to these communities, you see the artwork, you know, like 01:02:38
it's it's it's a great way. Again, like we talked about tagging. I think it dissuades the tagging because now you have something, 01:02:43
you know, cool and artistic there, but that is giant. So, you know, maybe. 01:02:48
Maybe, maybe there's some sections of it. I mean what's the when we talk about 85 grand, I mean that's. 01:02:56
Compared to like the overall project budget. 01:03:02
17.5 million, so it's a percentage wise of the project budget. 01:03:06
That is, that is not an overly significant number. 01:03:12
And we may not like. 01:03:16
It doesn't always work. The way of thinking, well, we could take that money and use it somewhere else doesn't necessarily always 01:03:18
translate that way. You know, like we can't go back in the bid and say all right now we're going to. 01:03:23
Easily go throw in, you know, some nicer Maple trees or something in the landscape package, so. 01:03:29
There is a down in Provo, I think it's like 300 W and 200 W the bike shop building, they've got some a large mural there. It's not 01:03:35
anywhere near like you say, it is pretty cool. You know, they kind of have some time frame, historical time, time frame images and 01:03:43
that's what I was thinking. I mean I'm not an artist and this isn't the point where we need to bring it up, but it doesn't need to 01:03:51
be 1 theme on the mural. It can be a successive series of things on on on Amy Roll that shows progress. 01:03:58
Or shows different aspects of the importance of the city or I think there's a way to use the 260 feet that wouldn't just be one 01:04:06
system painting well you might even be able to do something simple or just put Vineyard and just make it really big and and that 01:04:16
might from outer space, you're a vendor and you can do things around it. So I mean if the space is there, I mean that you know. 01:04:25
Yeah. 01:04:37
Runner you either going back in time or forward in time, right? 01:04:40
Hey Morgan, you guys are planning working on some sign ordinance and mural code that will allow this. I know currently that part 01:04:46
of the delay on that is that we're working through the the code to see what we can do there. Putting a sign on there, we're 01:04:54
limited to the size, so say welcome to Vineyard we're we're limited by the the sign ordinance as to how big you can make that but 01:05:01
going with a mural. 01:05:09
Or artwork, then you're open to making it a lot bigger. So I know they are working on that and hopefully we'll have some answers 01:05:16
before too long. That is something that we do. I mean if we we do make a smooth wall or just whatever option we go with, we do 01:05:24
need decisions made quickly so that before too long if if we say pull the form liner off on that one side, it could come with the 01:05:32
cost from the contractor if they've already prepped themselves to do. 01:05:39
All of their forms with that form liner and they have no smooth. Well, it sounds like the most tonight is to pull it all the way 01:05:47
off right on on all four sides. Yeah and that and that's fine. If that's if that's the route you guys want to go, I think we're 01:05:55
good with that. What, what color would it be if if those form liners are are are taken off like what would be the exterior just 01:06:02
great just natural concrete the same it would be with the form liner, same color all the form liners doing is giving it a texture. 01:06:10
OK. 01:06:18
That's fine. I just wanted to have kind of a little bit more in depth conversation on that and that's fine. However you guys want 01:06:22
to go with us, we maybe need to clarify the motion. 01:06:26
If somebody wants to make another motion, I think. 01:06:30
Well, since you got a second, I believe you need to move forward with a with a vote on it, or you could do a substitute motion. 01:06:33
So you have to. 01:06:44
Yeah, there's a second, please. Tim seconded. Tim seconded the motion. 01:06:47
OK. So no substitute motions then based on conversation. OK. Then all those in favor of the motion? 01:06:55
Aye, aye. 01:07:02
Great. Thank you. 01:07:05
I feel like I'd betrayed. 01:07:11
Myself a little bit, yeah. 01:07:14
Yeah. 01:07:28
All right. 01:07:32
Thank you, Chris. 01:07:34
Let's move on to item 5.1. It's a work session, so no votes or action here. 01:07:38
General Plan Review, Heritage and Cultural resources and looks like Brian is. 01:07:47
Getting queued up. 01:07:52
Yeah. 01:07:54
OK, hello everybody. I'm Brian. I worked as a city planner. 01:08:30
So this year? 01:08:36
We continue to work on updating the general plan. We're trying to move forward on updating two elements in depth that's the open 01:08:38
space, parks, trails and lakefront and the moderate income housing. So with the moderate income housing, we have new legislation 01:08:45
that involves House Bill 462. 01:08:52
That basically the state is online has revised some of the strategies that cities can put into their general plan. 01:09:00
For helping promote modern income housing and and then they're asking cities to not only implement those in their general plan, 01:09:07
but to specify implementation strategies and and have those clearly outlined by October the 1st of 2022. So basically we have to. 01:09:17
Some of them quickly on our initiatives for improving our strategies from our income housing. 01:09:28
So apart from those 2IN depth updates to those elements or chapters as they're referred to in the in the General Plan, we might 01:09:33
also do an in depth. 01:09:37
Update to the Public facilities and services element. We've already done substantial work with public works and Engineering 01:09:43
regarding this element. So I think we're ready to move forward on undoing in-depth update of that element as well. 01:09:50
All the all the other remaining elements, 5 elements will be receiving updates to their goals and strategies only and minor in 01:10:00
text revisions. So today we want to have a work session with you because I wanted to explain kind of our approach to how we're 01:10:07
doing these revisions and what we're going to be doing to the goals and strategies. This week we're presenting the heritage and 01:10:15
cultural resources element of the general plan. So we're going to be talking about those strategies and and goals. 01:10:23
Before doing so, I want to talk about. 01:10:32
The edits and revisions in general. So these edits are not like solely my ideas or things I came up with on the cuff. 01:10:37
It's actually a pretty collaborative effort that we're doing with department heads and their auxiliaries. We're including 01:10:45
governing bodies such as yourselves and the public, and we're trying to involve the different committees and commissions that 01:10:50
operate in the city. 01:10:54
So the general plan has to be a living and breathing document. 01:11:02
Conditions to absolutely change on the day-to-day. These have to be updated and reflected in the general plan. Things change such 01:11:08
as population, new and expanding infrastructure, new development, new roads, new parks, trails, et cetera. 01:11:16
We have to make necessary updates to match tables and diagrams within a general plan that includes the land use map, the 01:11:26
transportation plant of the transportation map, some of our demographic data that's shown in tables such as population and family 01:11:33
sizes, home values, employment and jobs data. So all these we got to slowly start catching up on. 01:11:40
There's a lot of Corrections I need to made to writing errors such as spelling, grammar, fragmented sentences. 01:11:48
Worthiness, punctuation, redundancies. 01:11:56
We're also replacing, and I'm I'm pretty heavy on this, on replacing ambivalent, irresolute language with clear and decisive 01:12:00
language. So a lot of the times you'll you'll see things such as into. Consider doing this where appropriate. If possible do that. 01:12:08
And so I'd like to strengthen that language and and write things such as establish, dedicate, preserve, construct, implement and 01:12:17
build. 01:12:22
In terms of formatting, run on. Sentences are made to be shortened, condensed and cleaned up. 01:12:28
When it comes to grouping and relevancy, some goals and strategies have have an unclear or indirect correlation with what is being 01:12:36
talked about in that section. So that's that's all being cleaned up as well. 01:12:44
So let's step into. 01:12:52
We can come back and then you provide your comments to Brian between now and the next meeting and then we can bring back a better 01:13:32
draft. So anyway, we can add that in. Thanks, Morgan. Yeah, that's exactly what we would like to do. 01:13:40
So in this I'm just going to put my, my edit so you can see kind of stuff was done. So I'll always provide you. So every week or 01:13:48
every Planning Commission meeting moving forward until we've completed this, this update, we're going to talk about an element or 01:13:54
or maybe it's not a new element but. 01:14:00
We'll be tidying up those elements until we get done with all the elements eventually. 01:14:06
So I'll provide you the existing. 01:14:11
Draft or how it's written currently my red lines as you can see in my comments to the side and the final draft. So the clean 01:14:15
version. 01:14:20
So for this section, the goals were broadened and made more comprehensive before. Some of those are difficult to differentiate 01:14:26
from strategy. Goals should be goal should present clear overarching ideas or strategies allow us to get more into the particulars 01:14:34
and into the the details. So instead of four goals, now we have 2 go One focuses on fun, exciting and educational ways to 01:14:41
celebrate our history and go to focuses on using heritage. 01:14:49
To increase commerce and tourism. 01:14:57
In some places we had a necessary long list of action items or verbs and we've removed those. An example is in goal one strategy 01:15:01
one from the original draft where we had identify, locate and create an inventory. Now we just have create an inventory that's 01:15:08
just more simple. Another occasion we had a list that said historically related tools, implements, buildings, properties and other 01:15:15
such. 01:15:21
Elements or artifacts, I should say that's been cleaned up to just say a historical influence. 01:15:29
But one point on the other, not other than the nitty gritty things like that, more action items and fortifying language was added. 01:15:36
To strengthen and support these strategies. 01:15:44
For example, um. 01:15:48
In some cases, it made sense. It made sense to make something its own goal because of its impact or significance, such as goal Two 01:15:51
in my In My red lines go to strategy one, which talks about getting historical sites, properties, buildings and structures on the 01:15:58
National Register of of Historic Places. The the National Register assures the preservation and adds that important element to our 01:16:05
to our historical initiatives. 01:16:12
New wording is added to capitalize on sharing historical content online and on social media. So you go to Strategy 3. New 01:16:20
strategies to incorporate new technology and how we share our history using things like augmented reality. See Goal One, Strategy 01:16:26
5. 01:16:32
The strategies and language has been added that focuses on making heritage a way to promote tourism of vineyard. 01:16:38
New goals and strategies that further support the public consumption of written and oral histories has also been added. Those have 01:16:44
been revised in such a way that supports and strongly encourages community engagement and partnership with the community and local 01:16:49
institutions such as UV and BYU. 01:16:53
Move, move, verbiage that employees are very are various master plans to inform our efforts to celebrate our history. So we've 01:16:59
been working on the Waterfront master plan, active transportation plan. Now we're about to start the corridor plan. So we want to 01:17:06
make sure that all of our different planning initiatives are supporting our heritage. 01:17:12
Um, in essence, our intentions aren't aren't too but the existing content or what's already there. What we want to do is improve 01:17:20
and build upon the existing goals and strategies. 01:17:27
We want to further our our our pre-existing efforts. 01:17:35
So in presenting my revisions to you, the Planning Commission? 01:17:40
This is an essential step in verifying that we are moving the right direction. 01:17:44
Every meeting we will present a new a new element. These edits are not final. Like Morgan stated, we need your help as we continue 01:17:48
to make revisions. We're happy to meet with you individually. We're happy to receive your verbal and written comments via e-mail. 01:17:54
We're happy to have more work sessions. 01:18:01
And and we need to capture your ideas. So I guess once you have a an opportunity to read and study all these revisions I I want 01:18:08
you guys to to reach out to us, our department and and help us to make the changes that you want to that you want to see 01:18:14
reflected. 01:18:20
Do you guys have any questions about this chapter specifically or anything moving forward? 01:18:28
That we have. 01:18:35
Notice he can use he can usually. 01:19:23
We may play around with with that, but a lot of focus is going to be on the goals and strategies because that is more of the 01:19:54
implementation part of the general plan. 01:19:58
What, what actually would you say are the, I guess the core components of the vineyard heritage? What is it that we're trying to 01:20:05
highlight? 01:20:09
It's a good question. 01:20:17
I think what we're trying to highlight is ways to put our heritage in front of people. And I think to to my degree, some of these 01:20:19
goals mention like having a museum, either it's indoor or outdoor or having historical implements throughout the city or using 01:20:25
technology to to educate the public on on what Vineyard is, what it, what it used to be and how that's going to help us in the 01:20:32
future. 01:20:38
So I think there's a big educational component to it. 01:20:45
I would say that's what it's mostly trying to and using history as best as we can to increase. 01:20:50
Regional tourism, bringing people to the city and teaching them what we're all about. So I guess to rephrase it, is it like the 01:20:59
core thing for trying to teach them? Is it, is it the history of agriculture and then Geneva, you know, the industry and 01:21:04
agriculture aspect or or what are the the core? 01:21:09
Parts of the heritage that we said this is what we're highlighting. 01:21:15
I was going to invite you to talk about that wanted to well, first of all let me just some context, but. 01:21:19
When we were invited, when we the when we started creating a master plan and deciding on the chapters, it was decided by the city 01:21:28
that there would be a chapter on heritage and culture. 01:21:34
And so the Vineyard Heritage Commission was asked to write the chapter on heritage and culture, basically. And so volunteers like 01:21:40
David Larae and myself and a half a dozen others. 01:21:49
Took blank paper. 01:21:58
And just started writing what we thought was important to try to maintain and vineyard what we felt that we'd lost a lot of 01:22:00
opportunity to preserve history and veneer because of the rapid growth and development. And so we wanted to start at a particular 01:22:08
point saying three years ago and say what is there that we could preserve that still exists within the community. And then beyond 01:22:17
that, what is it we want to educate people about relative to the history of India, we feel very strongly. 01:22:25
That a community is stronger if it understands its historical perspective and Vineyard is a very young community. And So what we 01:22:34
wanted to do is to start with Native Americans, basically some of the first identifiable people. 01:22:42
And then worked through up to modern day whether it was agriculture or fishing or. 01:22:52
Dairy farming or Geneva steel through the 40s and 50s and 60s, we we wanted to try to educate the community on all of that 01:23:00
historical background. And so these were words that we put together, you know and and we certainly don't take ownership, well, we 01:23:09
do take ownership, but we don't own it and we would welcome any improvements at all that could be made on this plan. 01:23:17
Without forsaking or losing our main objectives, to try to preserve as much history as possible, whether it be in museums or in 01:23:26
the on the ground with implements and or educating the public about the historical nature of this community because. 01:23:36
The the historical creation of Vineyard is what makes it such a powerful community today. How it was created it it it wasn't just 01:23:46
an industrial city or a bedroom community. It has real significant history to it that we think will benefit current and future 01:23:53
generations. I don't know if I've answered that or not. That's awesome. So, so anyway, any improvements to what was created would 01:24:01
be welcomed as long as we don't lose. 01:24:09
The essence of what we had hoped to achieve and I guarantee that that that's definitely and Brian has been a wonderful advocate of 01:24:17
heritage and history in the community. When he first came in, part of it was to help the community understand its historical 01:24:25
nature. So he is one of the individuals in the community really I think has it in his DNA as well. Thanks Tim. I really appreciate 01:24:33
you saying that. Yeah, I think you you mentioned some of these things like we really do have a rich history in Vineyard. 01:24:41
Just to reiterate some of the things that you you mentioned agriculture. 01:24:50
Utah Lake and how important Utah Lake has been to everybody that has ever occupied this area are farming. 01:24:54
History to give a steel and also people of faith. 01:25:00
So I think we need to use history to establish connection community inclusivity. 01:25:42
Focus on our hard work and sacrifice and those that came before us and but he has always been a place of like patriotism and 01:25:50
giving to the country. 01:25:54
So I I think it's I know those are the things that we want to try to capture in in this element and and going back and doing an 01:25:59
in-depth review of this chapter there's already a a bunch of wonderful things in the chapter so. 01:26:06
So the comment I have to as we talk about this and something I want to go back in, I've, I've done some of this. I need to 01:26:14
continue to do more as we look at our general plan. 01:26:19
But I think a lot of the heritage too, I really appreciate it your your explanation on it, Tim, because I think there's a lot 01:26:26
there's a perception. 01:26:31
I think for most people in in this region of the the, the identity of this area was Geneva steel and now it's rapid growth and 01:26:37
development, right? 01:26:43
We're very much attached and associated with Utah Lake right. And the the the the perceived perception and heritage of Utah Lake 01:26:50
is this you know disgusting lake that that we that we ruined right. And I think that part of the heritage and our our story here 01:27:00
is the landscape. You know it's the Native Americans it's it's what this what this area was like. 01:27:09
Before all the development and I think that that there's some power in us as a community kind of defining the story of of of our 01:27:19
waterfront, of of the region, of the relationship with the lake, which is obviously a very hot, you know, topic of discussion 01:27:28
these days, right and and what should be done with the lake. 01:27:36
And and and I think that better I think there what what I perceive in in the. 01:27:45
In in the discussions happening in our region and in our state in our community is there, there needs to be more understanding of 01:27:53
of what the natural condition is of the Lakeshore, you know and of this of this area before the development. And there's there's 01:28:01
clearly some misperceptions about that and and and then ultimately what needs to be done. And I think that there's an opportunity 01:28:09
for us to put into our general plan what is our vision as a community and I know we have the open open space parks and trails. 01:28:17
But I don't know if in these categories and again I want to go back in and scroll through it. I've read through this but I need, I 01:28:26
want to from that perspective of of of the the landscape portion. Like what is the what is the heritage of our landscape and how 01:28:33
do we want as a community to celebrate that landscape to preserve the landscape. 01:28:40
A missed opportunity that we have to to review that on a regular basis. 01:29:21
I think it's helpful like for every business item we have, if there's relevant sections in the general plan that we should be 01:29:24
discussing to actually stop and review those in a lot of these situations. You know, so when we're talking about pocket parks, 01:29:30
like what does our general plan say about programming areas? Because it's in there, right. And and that helps guide us and that 01:29:36
also helps us understand when it's out of date and what needs to be taken care of. So it's more of a general comment, but I think 01:29:42
this heritage section will be. 01:29:49
More powerful if anytime there's a business item where there's an option to have a heritage component, we have a couple quick 01:29:55
goals that we can review back to and say remember this is this is what we've agreed to and how how we can align on it. 01:30:01
Whenever I hear like there's the heritage for the city or there's this heritage immediately, I think like, OK heritage, like old 01:30:10
things, but there's more to it than that. There's so much more to that and I think that. 01:30:18
We're missing an opportunity and that we're not theming it at all. Like when I'm I'm sure most of the people that live in Vineyard 01:30:26
because they're new and they hear heritage, they don't know, they can't pinpoint a specific thing. And so I think that we need to 01:30:33
take opportunities to make it so that destinations are like. 01:30:40
Like we had the Geneva Waterfront park or whatever, stuff like that, where we can make stuff like a cool destination to go or 01:30:48
theme things in certain ways. Like if you go to other cities and they're like, oh, our heritage is this specific thing. Like buy a 01:30:55
T-shirt with this thing on it, buy a hat with this thing. And when you think of those cities, like heritage is ingrained into 01:31:03
everything because they're so proud of specific things. 01:31:10
So I think that it would be important for this, for the heritage section to have a few specific things that we want to try to push 01:31:18
forward instead of just heritage. Because if we can do that, then people actually become interested in the history. And if there's 01:31:25
one theme thing then you can build down from that and get into the nitty gritty and the real stories that happened. But I think 01:31:33
that if there are some themes. 01:31:40
And then we'll we'll do some some work in between with you know individually with you guys and then in the next meeting we'll 01:32:20
we'll try to have those reflected in the draft and it may take a couple of times to do that but that and then we we can do the 01:32:26
kind of thing where we adopt one chapter and then we move on to the next or we could wait until everything's done and do it as 11 01:32:32
document. I mean we're we're not as concerned about that, but that's exactly the way we're planning to do that. I'm happy to send 01:32:38
an additional e-mail. 01:32:44
Aside from the agenda, there's this item. We're updating an element in the in the next meeting, so heads up. Cool, I'll do that. 01:32:51
Great. 01:32:55
Just to also piggyback on, he said. Bryce, I think, I think it was a great comment and I think the word I. 01:33:02
There's kind of two good words I guess. But it's it's and I we've talked about four. But storytelling, I think there's a story 01:33:08
that we want to tell through and maybe it's branding or whatever it is. But you know of our heritage and we want to we want to 01:33:14
tell that story or that narrative of what Vineyard is and not let. 01:33:20
Not have that narrative. 01:33:27
Dropped on us of of like. 01:33:30
Like right now I think the narrative is vineyard, that's like they're just building houses like crazy, right. There's this. Yeah. 01:33:32
Yeah. It's just filling in with houses everywhere. Right. And the only other thing people know that and Geneva steel and and 01:33:39
pollution. You know. Yeah. And and there's we know there's more to it, right. Those clearly, yeah, it is. It is fast growing. It's 01:33:47
got all these things. But there's there's a real story to tell here that that's deeper. 01:33:54
It's richer, that's more complex that that we can tell through you know and have that in the general plan and through you know 01:34:02
specific theme, you know strategies or whatever. 01:34:08
Having it implemented in the art sewer covers like that's you know in our, in our signage, all of that kind of stuff. 01:34:15
Is like, so I'm thinking kind of going from that as far as like sewer covers and signage and stuff. If we have themes then it'll 01:34:23
be a lot easier to come up with designs. It's easier to decide what to do. Maybe that's part of what we glean from from each of 01:34:30
your you know comments to my edits is he goes, hey I think this is a Dean you know like give me let's all create like a list or 01:34:36
something just to get our creative Jesus fallen in terms of that. 01:34:43
Just feedback them, yeah. 01:34:51
Daily we have to have you like, please. 01:34:54
Hi, David, Lorraine. 01:35:02
So I don't question when Brian, when you mentioned earlier the the process, you have all sorts of people looking at these things 01:35:04
and you mentioned that you know the administration and this and this Commission, the Commission and you mentioned our residents as 01:35:10
well. 01:35:15
So in in this document, which residents helped you do this? 01:35:22
That's what we're doing right now, So I see, so they can look at what's been done. So they really have to help you do this. Here's 01:35:27
looking for our staff and them saying, yeah, this is good. 01:35:32
A little bit of the plan is just to get a draft consensus from the Planning Commission. Planning Commission is the appointed body 01:36:14
to create that trap. Then we would do a public open house. We would put it out to the public. 01:36:18
They would provide us more feedback and input and then and then that would be infused back in. And so it's it's not something 01:36:24
that's going to get approved quickly, it does but we do want a draft that we can take to the public. 01:36:30
My wife keeps telling me that, asking why? Why do you go to these meetings? You can't make any. You can't make any kind of 01:36:39
changes. Something is going to change. And when they have you speak public sessions like the waterfront session and so forth, you 01:36:45
have you so you pick the one you want, so forth. You have to pick one of their options and it's going to be what they want. It's 01:36:50
not going to be anything we want that. That's what she says to me. I'm trying to find ways to. 01:36:55
To get her to get away from that that perception. So I think she's not the only one who has that perception. 01:37:01
And so I I do come these because I do believe I can make a difference, otherwise I wouldn't be here. 01:37:10
And so I'm just wondering what what can we do to get away from that perception? Because it really is I. 01:37:17
As I've gone around with petitions and so forth that that and getting people to sign it that that that perception is pretty 01:37:25
pervasive. 01:37:29
The perception that there's we don't have a voice that you know the season do what they want with it and they're not. No one cares 01:37:33
about what people think. For example, I I went around the position a few months ago about trying to help create a bikeway on on 01:37:41
Holy Rd. I got a lot of feedback at that time and everyone said there's there's just one more thing we tried to do that they're 01:37:48
not they're going to ignore and a lot of people have said to me in in various ways. 01:37:56
And I feel like the summarizes of the cities forgot who they work for. 01:38:03
The city wants to do what they want to do. They don't. If we go to them or something, they don't really care about that as long as 01:38:09
it meets. If it's their agenda, fine. But they only want what they want to do. And of course the amorphous they understand you 01:38:15
know they as us. But I get I get all that. But still the point is, is that perception is still there and I don't. I'm not trying 01:38:20
to. 01:38:26
The argument is I'm not trying to cast aspersions. I know everyone here is here because they do the right thing and you're trying 01:38:33
to do good things. I get that. 01:38:36
I understand there's a perception abroad in the land that maybe is that isn't true. How can we deal with that? How can we address 01:38:42
that? How can we show them that we really do want their input? 01:38:47
That's I guess that's it. 01:38:54
Great. And we're yeah we're definitely open to suggestions I mean they I mean what the plan is to do is to do a public process 01:38:56
where we would we would go out and and get and get more more feedback. You know as far as like the waterfront master plan and you 01:39:04
know like that we held several meetings we met with a lot of residents we did online forums we had you know Facebook live events. 01:39:12
So we we we really tried to get as much as we could and I I don't think you're ever going to appease everyone and. 01:39:20
You know I I feel like as a city at least with that project we we went to a pretty far extent to to try and and get feedback. But 01:39:28
if you have suggestions of how maybe it's an apparent thing or you know maybe we need to be more transparent. But I I would you 01:39:34
know we would welcome those. 01:39:40
Submitting. 01:39:47
Yeah. And maybe I could just add here from my since the topic of our discussion has been historical and heritage. 01:39:49
I feel many times that I haven't been the, the, the advocate that there needs to be to try to promote heritage and vineyard 01:39:59
because I feel often times that we're getting very, very slow progress, getting very little attention. We have a very young 01:40:07
community. Our average age is what, 2020, like 424 now 24, so getting older a little bit, yeah, as it was in the teens it seems 01:40:15
like. So our average age is 24. 01:40:22
And when I was 24, I didn't carry that care that much about history and heritage, except what I had to study in college. 01:40:30
But as I've gotten older, I've realized the value in it and the value for telling the stories over time. 01:40:38
And I've been very encouraged by what I've heard tonight from the other Planning Commission members, where several of them have 01:40:47
said this is an important thing that we cannot forget. 01:40:52
And but I often feel when we do surveys, let's put out for public comment and we get surveys back from the community and basically 01:40:59
it's quite heritage, Why should we invest any money or effort in that? 01:41:07
And so people like myself are saying, Oh my gosh, we're going to lose this opportunity because the community is very young and 01:41:16
not. They're more interested in just making a living and raising their families, which I was too for a long time of my life. But 01:41:24
but I guess what I'm saying is sometimes I become quite discouraged and and frustrated with. 01:41:32
Lack of public support. 01:41:42
And city support even. I mean, gosh, Chris''s idea, let's put some stuff on manhole covers was a godsend for me. And and so. 01:41:45
I don't know where I'm going with this, but I'm just saying I'm encouraged tonight with what I've heard from members of the 01:41:56
Commission and when we go out for public comment, I don't feel that encouragement because I feel like I haven't done my job to 01:42:04
sell the story of this community in its rich heritage. And so I I'm struggling with that and so I just I'll end my comments Well, 01:42:11
I I I will say to him like the, I mean I've been here six years now and. 01:42:19
You know, we take this as an individual element and we get it out to the public and get more feedback. 01:43:30
So that's just a suggestion we can do those ones that might be way to highlight it stand alone. One little comment I'll add David 01:43:38
to your, your thing is that I think. 01:43:42
You're there's a lot of complexity I think to what you're you're talking about and in a lot of different reasons I think why 01:43:49
there's probably that sentiment in the community and as a Planning Commission I don't know that we've got all those answers but 01:43:56
but I think we've been pretty consistent and and you know this right that's why you're here. Like we we welcome people to come to 01:44:03
meetings and I I feel like generally at least while I've been on a Planning Commission. 01:44:10
We've we've generally tried to listen you know and and and do our best to balance our role as the Planning Commission and and what 01:44:18
citizens are brought forth to us and there's there have been changes in the city things that have been done because of citizen 01:44:24
engagement and I think that I. 01:44:30
I worry sometimes. And the way things are right now is there's a lot of civic engagement on Facebook or social media of of getting 01:44:38
in a Facebook group and complaining or or. 01:44:44
Yeah or yeah, after the fact and and rather than and then if they find something that's frustrating in the city generally people 01:44:51
that get involved and get educated on the reasons why something exists and then engage in how can I make changes to this and 01:44:58
really engage. I think generally that's effective now. I can't say that it's always effective. I I am still hoping David that we 01:45:06
get to review here as a Planning Commission what you were talking about the bike lane on hold the way Rd. 01:45:13
That you know like that would be great. We'd love to review that. And so I can only speak from the Planning Commission's 01:45:21
perspective, but we want more people to come, but we have a pretty empty meeting today and this is pretty consistent, right. So I 01:45:28
I appreciate that and I, as I said before I, I, I know that we're all here trying to our very best and we're all with the right 01:45:35
motives and I do believe that but but I think there's some we do have a communication problem. 01:45:42
We seriously do and and you mentioned that, one of our problems with social media. 01:45:49
It's also probably one of our answers, if we were to look at that right because you're out, people don't have to complain, but how 01:45:56
many people go on, but how how many times have have have the city actually gone and and actually proactively? 01:46:03
Talked about or means or something to talk about what we're trying to do. You know we're you know, no, I'm not sure how many 01:46:11
people know what's going, what's going on north of the Connector. I have a huge plans for that but I don't think you could find 01:46:17
some on the street that really knows. 01:46:23
You ask them and that ought to be out there. People don't know about that. I think also that the lakefront, you know, the 01:46:29
lakefront process was really good, but it just, it was, it happened and it stopped and it needs to. I think it needs to continue. 01:46:35
I think we need to at least at least have a. 01:46:41
I know the city has a page, not a group page on a page where they put out things and then there ought to be a public relations 01:46:47
kind of an article out there that happens that we're putting out some and more than a weekly basis. Well, and if I could just jump 01:46:55
in, this probably isn't a forum to say it, but I have felt for some time that the nitty, the nitty, the city needs an official 01:47:02
spokesperson and that spokesperson needs to be responding in a very positive. 01:47:10
Accurate way. 01:47:18
On things that come up on social media, while Sullivan's here, I just want to say. 01:47:20
One of the several things I really appreciated about Sullivan. Not so much in the recent past, but. 01:47:26
Months ago, year ago and so on. 01:47:33
Nothing that I appreciate that that came out wrong, but nothing that I appreciate about you recently, so but but what I have loved 01:47:37
about Sullivan in the past is when people brought up a question on social media that related to water or floods or why is the 01:47:43
water dirty or whatever, he was immediately there giving correct information and that just kind of stopped a lot of the stuff that 01:47:50
can percolate. 01:47:57
In social media. And so I have felt for a long time, the city needs an official spokesperson that can jump right on these things. 01:48:04
When when through social media, it appears that people know what they're talking about and they don't. To have somebody come right 01:48:11
out and say, look folks, this is the way it is and and and it's accurate. That's idea number one, by the way. 01:48:18
I do apologize by by law we have to stick to the to the agenda and so and so if you want to give me a call I'm happy to but we we 01:48:26
do have to stick to the heritage stuff. Yeah. No I it's an overwhelming law we just we just have to stick to it. So thank you. 01:48:33
If you do want to e-mail me, David, I can set something up. 01:48:42
Yeah, Dave, I just want to thank you sincerely for for your comment. I think community engagement is really important and I I 01:48:45
promise you we're going to focus on that and make sure that we we make improvements in that area. 01:48:52
I guess maybe to end this part of the work session? I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to show these right mornings. 01:49:00
This was actually part of the heritage General plan was supposed to highlight these these areas. So these are. 01:49:09
Out there now on the train station. These are historical images. 01:49:16
That were gathered from various databases and with the help of people here in the community and the heritage Commission and 01:49:21
everything, we were able to put these these pictures together and they really looked awesome out there on the train station. So I 01:49:26
think we're making good strides. We just got to keep keep up the good work and and like David says keep involving people and keep 01:49:32
keep doing all we can. 01:49:37
So we're excited to at some point be able to showcase those officially to the community but I think, I think I think we're moving 01:49:44
a good direction and and we're committed to to keeping doing doing a good job so. 01:49:51
Just comment on the the bigger picture. So when you first started talking on a general plan updates, there were two thoughts that 01:49:59
I had while you're talking about that. One is I I guess just just one is a lot of a lot of what we you know the talked about this 01:50:07
last year like the whole Clegg farm development there was a lot of discussion about density right and what's what is low density 01:50:15
and and I think we had talked about needing some better definitions. 01:50:22
We all had a different expectation of what low density meant, you know, and as a city we didn't have that definition as as well as 01:51:02
it that would have that would have provided a lot of clarity in that case. So because like the moderate dense in, My question now 01:51:10
I want to look into is like when the state's talking about moderate income housing, right? Yeah, I believe moderate income housing 01:51:18
is. So you have your area median income and then there's a percentage. 01:51:25
That is usually dedicated to to housing out of people's salary. So you take the area median income and then 80%, you take it down 01:51:33
to 80% of that and then that 30% that is leftover from that 80%. This is making sense that that is. 01:51:42
Let me try again. So there's. 01:51:55
So everyone meaning income, right? Yeah. And then there's 80% of what that number is, right? That is the, the moderate income 01:51:59
portion. And then of that 80 percent, 30% of of what is is the remainder is what they should be able to spend on housing at a 01:52:07
maximum, be it renting or paying off your mortgage. 01:52:14
So let's use the real figures. I'd say if our area, what was it called, median income were $60,000, right, Right. So then we take 01:52:22
80% of that $48,000 and then we're saying 30% of that and I don't know what that is. 01:52:31
18,000, yeah, a year. Yeah, 14. It's what's expected to be spent on housing or something. Yeah. Usually, like, no, no more than 01:52:43
that should be spent on housing. 01:52:48
Obviously we're not. We're not meeting. 01:52:55
Data that would actually be a good training too, so we might want to reach out. We'll get there. 01:53:32
OK guys, that's all I got. 01:53:38
Any other questions for Brian? 01:53:41
So what are you expecting from us next comments for you guys to look at this based on this edits, anything that you want to 01:53:43
recommend? I took down some of the comments that you gave me tonight. We'll try to create some new strategies and then we'll we'll 01:53:49
represent them the next time and see if we captured your thoughts adequately. 01:53:55
But yeah, this morning, but and from residents, people who are listening to the meeting. 01:54:03
Thanks, Brian. You're welcome. 01:54:08
Thank you guys. 01:54:11
OK, let's go to our Commission members reports and ex parte discussion or disclosures. 01:54:13
Does anybody have any reports or? 01:54:22
And so the same company that we're going to hire to do the central corridor plan, the one that Brian put together, we'll also do a 01:55:05
breakoff project and do a landscape design for, for the Overpass and that will include the areas immediately around that and that 01:55:10
that's kind of more of an insane project. I don't know if you have anything else on it. 01:55:16
We summarized the parallel and in essence, yeah, so like sit down, we find we have something for design plan doing this stuff 01:55:24
designed this, this is career get started, designed this fiscal year for for use public comments. And then of course currently 01:55:32
it's in our budget for next fiscal year to actually implement the, the design. We have a ballpark of what their cost of shipping. 01:55:39
But of course it's all based on drivens, based on what we would anticipate seeing when the. 01:55:47
Emphasis is will impact in terms of a lot of use and also maintenance use as well especially on something like that great. I think 01:55:54
that's like a good example of an opportunity where like the public may think that they weren't hurt on some things. You know, just 01:56:02
saying like here's the plan, here's estimated timeline things like that and this might and I and this might be another you know 01:56:09
the answer right now but is there like for the I guess before like the actual landscape plan gets gets implemented. 01:56:17
There's a way to go in and like maybe we'll just remove weeds or spray or anything like that or I don't know, you don't have to 01:56:24
answer that now, but. 01:56:28
I mean currently our our goal is just to mitigate that. I mean if we the the original plan with the overpass, did it include a a 01:56:32
seating like a a native seed mix on the on the the? 01:56:40
Slopes, the embankment slopes just to help mitigate any erosion, so we don't want to like necessarily. 01:56:48
Kill off all the vegetation that could be rooted in holding back the soils, but we are definitely trying to mitigate that the best 01:56:57
we can with. 01:57:01
While we wait. 01:57:07
Sounds good. 01:57:09
To also have sponsor. 01:57:41
Clean update here. They have a series of communities along the Wasatch Front and they like to be very visible and community 01:57:44
involvement and so they kind of adopted the Vineyard Clean Up day Saturday. They'll also be providing some T-shirts and some free 01:57:52
tickets to these games on the 30th, these games the following Saturday. So it's just another sponsor, another involved. 01:58:01
Entity out there that's partnering with with me. 01:58:11
And just a quick question. So we're moving forward on doing the corridor plan. Does that mean that the wetlands have been 01:58:17
delineated? 01:58:20
No, OK. 01:58:25
And then coming up in the first weekend of June is. 01:58:30
Vineyard, what is it? What's the efficient name of it? Summer celebration or summer days? Vineyard days and the Friday of the two 01:58:35
day event. And I think maybe it might not be more than two days and I don't know, but at least two days, Friday and Saturday. The 01:58:43
Friday portion of that will be Vineyard Heritage Day when we will have a big celebration at Grove Park as we've done in previous 01:58:51
years. So that's that's going to be posted on just serve as well in the next couple of days. 01:58:59
For volunteers. Didn't need a lot of volunteers on that Friday to help out. 01:59:07
Have we been able to figure out the path forward for? David Told away Rd. request of who that should go to next. Yeah so that's 01:59:15
down to our consultant. So all for planning and design is doing our active transportation plan. 01:59:22
Within that plan, he committed to do breakout projects and I think there's three those are 555 breakout design projects. And so we 01:59:30
asked him to take the Holdaway road bike Blvd. Concept and to provide an actual design. 01:59:37
And so we're setting up a meeting. I sent an e-mail to David and so what's I did right before this meeting. So for for us to get 01:59:46
together and and and to and to talk about it. So when once, once that's once we have a design then we'll we'll bring the design 01:59:52
back back to you and and have David here to both David's David Foster the consultant and David Loray. So that that's for route. 01:59:59
And then ultimately because that is public right away that would go to the City Council for for adoption. So you provide a 02:00:06
recommendation on that one. 02:00:13
Thank you. 02:00:20
Can I tell you more about that too? It also got reviewed by the Bicycle Advisory Commission and they're working on providing 02:00:23
comments that they're going to forward to the City Council on on that concept, so. 02:00:28
Great. Thank you. Any staff reports then? 02:00:35
Just some quick the city waterfront plan was discussed on the Utah Lake Commission podcast and I think the plan was to to have 02:00:40
that go. 02:00:47
Yeah, be posted during their own birthday, so. 02:00:55
Look for that. 02:01:00
I have something as well. It's probably take me about 2 1/2 hours with an org chart to be attached later. 02:01:02
Now just a quick update about the downtown venture town within the front of our station. My name has been asked several times. 02:01:10
This the Planning Commission, but it's moving forward. The train is leaving the shuttle or the station. 02:01:20
When is the train getting to the station? The train is currently, you know, and it's like your last train from. 02:01:27
Kind of ready for customers. UTA hasn't completed all their other items yet. So in essence it's not ready for operations per se. 02:02:10
But there's a way you can see that a lot of things are there. The connection to all the way the connection over from the 02:02:20
translation to Main Street, so shy of about 40 feet is complete, the connection to connection to. 02:02:29
Being your connector is hinged on the traffic signal being put up and that's that's being amazing for progress we've had in the 02:02:40
obstacles. I'll say like that based on our designs and legalities in terms of land ownership and land use for that to be done. But 02:02:48
we've made some gains from there and moving forward on that as well as. 02:02:55
Again, another item that's been brought up during Planning Commission is there a connections, patrol connections from the South 02:03:04
and from the north on that and the intent is to have a retail connection going from the South side underneath the Vineyard 02:03:10
Overpass, Vineyard Connected Overpass as well as a connection on the north side. 02:03:16
When they're back connection on the north side, there'll be in essence so just just north of Vineyard Connector and then it'll be 02:03:23
South of the building, the future buildings to be built and it will connect directly into the ETA temporary parking lot and that 02:03:28
then that trails that that. 02:03:34
Tell access is going to be permanent. No, that's not. That will be a temporary. That will be permanent connection as well. 02:03:40
So one of my questions in on that is once that road is right, you know as you're coming off the bridge and you can turn right and 02:03:49
go towards the train station, what is that intersection going to be and is there going to be? 02:03:55
Like I would assume a traffic signal or something at some point. And then to me the real importance of having that pedestrian and 02:04:03
by path, whatever that goes under the bridge, is anybody that lives in that area that's going to try to walk to the front runner 02:04:10
and cross. I've always been concerned about the pedestrian connection there on 8th N getting from the South, you know, the water's 02:04:17
edge, you know, vineyard to the Town Center. 02:04:24
And I realize that's maybe going to develop overtime, but I'm curious what that's going to look like when that gets open. So then 02:04:32
we kind of having connection like so on. 02:04:38
Traffic signal and of the four way traffic signal through the three lines will be operational because when your connector is going 02:04:44
to extend past that and that is at that particular intersection is going to be professional crossings, signalized pedestrian 02:04:51
crossings for killer pedestrians across there as well as the other profession crossing to get to ETA station will be underneath 02:04:58
the interconnector over the past and that's in essence and that's also why we have the way finding signs. 02:05:05
That's going to direct that collect direct people to the to the right locations and along with that way find sounds UTI providers. 02:05:11
When it provides the designs, they put down like the distance and time, like minutes. So if you so for example someone's at the 02:05:26
intersection of Main Street Vineyard Connector. 02:05:31
They'll see like the way Feinstein says go underneath the bridge is 4 minutes to get to the Vineyard to ETA Station. We're going 02:05:37
over the Going crossing Main Street, crossing Greener Connector to use the northern trail to the construction site. You'll see 02:05:45
that is actually a longer trail, longer. It takes longer to do that. So we're emphasizing to take people underneath the Vineyard 02:05:53
connector on the southern trail as much as possible. And of course there's that switch back to. 02:06:01
When you're growing up. 02:06:10
On the southern trail does that switch likely to see the top of in your connector and we've been cognizant about that to ensure 02:06:12
that we put another sign in there. It says do not use this to get to familiarization because with that we'd be we would anticipate 02:06:17
people will get to the top see train there and say I'm going to be late and decide to cross the street of where you go and put put 02:06:23
themselves in harm's way. 02:06:28
What's the timing for some of those like traffic controls at that intersection? How does that correspond with the timing of the 02:06:36
opening of the train station? So bottom line, the train station will not be that train station location will not be operational 02:06:44
open until the traffic signal administrator in 800 N is installed with all the pedestrians with the pedestrian crossings as well. 02:06:53
I mean, the only thing that we may allow for that formerization to be open for is if we can get access. 02:07:01
Underneath the bridge. 02:07:10
To make that final connection, but I doubt that will occur because ETA controls that access and ETA will also have to make that 02:07:14
connection. So currently we're working on building the trail connections and with the pavings to get to the most furthest point 02:07:20
that we're allowed to before UTA access is required to to take an essence, take down the fence, pay the arrest of their trail, and 02:07:27
put the fence back up. 02:07:34
So the timing, I anticipate timing for all this to happen when we get their access firm and so forth would be we're anticipating 02:07:42
the end of May. 02:07:47
That's where we test paybook again when I actually, when we actually get the access permit from U dot to make their connections 02:07:52
into the Main Street, connect to Main Street and then you're connected with the singleizations and so forth. We'll actually in 02:07:58
essence the timer will start for us to actually get the ball rolling on all of this. 02:08:04
And hopefully we can get that set up for like a May or June timeframe, but we might even just try to dedicate the meeting to that. 02:08:45
So we can, we can keep that. Yeah, yeah, we can invite the public out and just, you know, make sure it goes out on social media 02:08:50
and so everyone else. 02:08:55
That'll be great. I think we're all excited to see that and. 02:09:02
Definitely want to make sure that they are following the vision of the the plan that's been approved. I think that's what we're 02:09:07
all going to be looking for is. 02:09:11
Are they executing what? You know what, We all approved and discussed. So OK. Anything else from anybody before? OK, then we will 02:09:15
adjourn our meeting. Thank you. 02:09:20
