Welcome, everybody. Today is August 2nd. It is. This is the Vineyard Planning Commission meeting. It is 6:01 PM and we will start 00:02:24
off with an invocation and Pledge of Allegiance by Anthony Jenkins. We'll do that pledge first. Thank you. 00:02:31
I pleasantly of the United States of America. 00:02:41
For which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:02:47
Our Father in Heaven, we're thankful for the opportunity to gather together as a Planning Commission and as staff and residents. 00:02:59
Tonight we pray for guidance to treat these topics with the importance that they deserve and that we can. 00:03:07
Be open and understanding and that we can make decisions that will help move the city forward. And we pray for these things. In 00:03:16

Alright. Thank you, Anthony. 00:03:25
All right. We'll move right into an open session. This is a time for any public comments, for something that's not on the agenda. 00:03:28
So if you have any public comments, please come up, state your name, you have 3 minutes, and if you have any questions, I'll write 00:03:32
them down. And yeah, we'll go from there. 00:03:37
Good evening. Thank you. My name is Daria Evans. Is it on? 00:03:46
Can you hear me? 00:03:53
Yeah. OK. Daria Evans, Vineyard resident. Thank you. I just. 00:03:54
I was riding my bike this morning and I'm getting a little scared riding it on Main on Center Street. So I was riding on the 00:04:01
sidewalk in front of the the farm plot and you know how you go into the street to get to that crosswalk? I was there at the 00:04:08
crosswalk waiting to cross. A gentleman stopped his truck. I was turning my bike, getting in to go, and the left lane flew right 00:04:16
past me. 00:04:23
And there was another truck behind who stopped. So I am asking if we might be able to get some flashing lights there. And also 00:04:31
when the mid block comes at the Loop Rd. if we can get some flashing lights at that one it's getting. I'm riding on the sidewalks 00:04:37
now. 00:04:43
It's getting scary, but I love to ride my bike, so I just want to address that. And also, I'm curious, will there be a public 00:04:50
hearing for the Lake Promenade site that they're talking about tonight? 00:04:57
Like, I don't know. 00:05:06
Because I have some questions about those amenities. 00:05:09
Yeah. And when we talked about the site plan application for the Lake Promenade, I'll open it up if you have some questions. OK. 00:05:14
Thank you. Yeah, that's not an official public hearing, but the chair can open up for public comment. OK. Thank you very much. 00:05:22
Just as well, I just wanted to echo your same concerns on crossing anytime there's a multi lane Rd. in this case a four or five 00:05:31
lane Rd. I even tell my kids this like if someone stops and waves you on like it's still scary because you don't know if the other 00:05:38
lane is going to stop, right. So that is that is a challenge there for sure and I think anything we can do to make that safe as 00:05:46
soon as possible. I mean it it's a it's an improvement and but it can always be better. 00:05:53
Especially as school starts up. So yeah, I echo the same concern. The scenes got an update I assume on when that's. 00:06:01
So I'm assuming that there were other works director, excuse me. So the flashing lights, they're called RFPs for the Rectangular 00:06:09
Rapid Flashing Beacons. No different than the Hawks. The Hawks are the high intensity lights that go easy overhead. They've been 00:06:15
ordered with a company. 00:06:20
They'll also include we've discussed they'll also include integrated St. lighting as well, because it shows up not just not just a 00:06:28
plastic light, but illuminating the whole area. 00:06:35
Especially at night, drastically increases driver awareness and safety as well. So we've worked with the company and our 00:06:42
contractor to get those things ordered and have them installed. We expect to get all these things installed shortly before around. 00:06:51
This school time, in regards to, excuse me, in regards to Main Street and Vineyard Loop Rd. also 600 N right by Penny Springs 00:07:02
Park, we submitted those designs to a contractor in terms of constructing a. 00:07:09
Protected Protestant refuge very similar to what was on Sarah St. 00:07:18
Also to utilize the same type of principle as well. And then we're also providing that same design to another contractor for 00:07:26
pricing, so we can get that implemented. We don't testify that to be done before the school year, but and that's also our 00:07:32
transportation master plan consultant. 00:07:38
We're discussing with them in terms of. 00:07:46
Excuse me. Adding adding that type of feature to ensure that those things are being integrated into our transportation Master plan 00:07:49
as well. So any domino effects after those things are placed in are being considered. So we're not creating a unsafe situation for 00:07:57
cars and pedestrians together. Great. Thanks, Missy. 00:08:04
Any other public comments? 00:08:14
All right, seeing as there are none, we'll move right into the business items, into 3.1, the zoning text amendment for 15 point, 00:08:16
12.060, the dimensional standards table. 00:08:21
All right. So yeah, we'll just do a quick refresher. This was an item that was on Planning Commission two weeks ago. It was 00:08:29
continued with some requests to see some view sheds of this area and the applicant is here and they have provided that. So I have 00:08:36
that. Further on this, just as a quick refresher, this is the applicant initiated zoning text amendment to increase the building 00:08:42
height in the RMU from 60 to 70 feet. 00:08:48
There are currently the in yellow. Those are the only two undeveloped parcels in in this area. 00:08:56
And however, this would also apply for any future redevelopment. 00:09:02
So there's the zoning text change. 00:09:07
OK, so if the applicant if you want to go up and you can maybe explain some of these. 00:09:11
Images, yeah, to help everybody understand. So they, they went out with some balloons, some at 60 and some at 70 feet in the air 00:09:17
to kind of show you the difference. And so that's going to be on the next few slides. I have those images. If you wanna maybe 00:09:25
explain this one a little more in detail, that would be great. Matt Brown with MW Brown Engineering. Basically what I did was try 00:09:32
to give a representation of if somebody was standing at the sidewalk at these three locations. 00:09:40
Three is in front of the Planning building, the HOA building or the Homeowners Association Building to Center St. and then the 00:09:48
apartments. One is the apartments to the north. 00:09:54
I just made a simple analysis saying that everything was flat and in the diagrams you can sort of see the the angles. 00:10:01
One is that 60 feet, the other is at the sight line at 70 feet. Could you also point out on this map where you put those balloons, 00:10:11
so as I show those the middle building in the middle building? 00:10:17
So basically, you know, attempts about a little over 11,000 feet in elevation. We're at 45150 at this location. The first two 00:10:26
sections you'd have temp would have to be 13,000. The middle section that it'd have to be a 13th over 13,000 feet to even see it 00:10:34
over the top of the building at 60 feet. 00:10:42
So that's the only one is Section 3 that you can see if it was constructed at 70 feet, so. 00:10:51
The developer went took some pictures of some balloons, sort of showing, you know what what it would look like from the different 00:11:05
standpoint and. 00:11:09
You know, the top balloon, 70 top yellow and 60 top green is 70. And this looks like it's taken from the planning building there. 00:11:14
Yeah, it's in front of the planning building. 00:11:21
That's it. I think it's Center St. there. 00:11:32
I think the wind was blowing a little bit on that one. 00:11:36
So, so you know, as you can see I mean. 00:11:40
The There's not really much difference between 60 and 70 feet. 00:11:44
The view to the east depending on where you're at is going to be blocked. You know there will be corridors through the design but 00:11:50
you know as you as a further develops to the to the South, you know you'll have actually buildings closer to the street at that 00:11:57
location. This is just a video driving up up the Rd. Mill Rd. there sort of show that you know as you're driving and and the 00:12:05
different videos. 00:12:12
You know, you basically don't see the mountains just because of the structures that have already been. 00:12:20
Constructed in your zoning ordinance, you know, the idea is to to build this corridor down there that you know, gets the 00:12:26
businesses that as close to the street as possible. So it seems like you know the height restriction. 00:12:33
You know, it's a little bit contradictory to it because it's if you move the buildings closer, your view is even more. 00:12:40
Obscured. You know if you get on the other side of the tracks, you know the existing structures. Apartments are most likely even 00:12:48
in a. You won't even probably see the tops of these, the 70 foot building from over at the ball diamonds you know on this side of 00:12:55
the tracks because of the existing structures that are there. So. 00:13:02
Cool. Do you guys have any questions for him? 00:13:10
Thank you for providing. Yeah, thank you so much. 00:13:14
No questions for you. I do have questions for staff on some of the language. So cash you mentioned that. 00:13:19
As proposed, this would also apply to any redevelopment. However, it looks to me like there's that green text on the page about 00:13:26
additional standards and there's #8 that's added that says a building height not exceeding 70 feet measured from top of back curve 00:13:32
to the highest point of the building or structure may be permitted. This height allowance will be limited to lots one and two of 00:13:39
the Mill Rd. East subdivision flat B. So, and this is what I was kind of hoping for, where we could narrow the location so that it 00:13:45
wasn't just. 00:13:52
An entire rezone for the whole RMU? Can you help clarify? 00:13:58
What exactly is being proposed here? Because the way I'm reading this is that it would not necessarily go into effect for all 00:14:05
future redevelopment. Let me pull that up for real quick. 00:14:09
And then it would be isolated to just these. 00:14:15
That Plan B? Lots one and two. 00:14:18
And while he's pulling it up, that was my primary concern last time is. 00:14:36
It's just a public base map, Maybe we could highlight. 00:15:17
Yeah, I mean this right here shows it like. 00:15:20
MMM. 00:15:25
Is there a reason why we would want it on one and two instead of just one? 00:15:29
That that would be up to the the Planning Commission the the applicant has requested that that we not limit it to further on that 00:15:34
side, but that would be to to that property itself. 00:15:41
So there was some discussion about limiting it to limit limiting it to just commercial buildings, the height allowance. 00:15:50
And so that that's a conversation you to have, you know tonight if you, if you want to further restrict it right now it restricts 00:15:58
it to those two parcels if you click on those or you just kind of use your cursor to show that one and the one right below. And 00:16:03
for reference which one is lot 1 to the north, North lot? 00:16:09
I believe studying in political county map, yeah. 00:16:15
How far from the residential units are these buildings set back? 00:16:29
Because we're looking at multi story buildings, looking into people's houses and I take huge issue with this. Yeah, we we can pull 00:16:35
a dimension line. So the ones that I mean across the street, I mean you have a really healthy distance. So the Mill Rd. is, is 00:16:42
very wide and so there's quite a bit but if you're talking about two the edge homes, yeah then that that'll be a little closer. 00:16:50
You still do have some distance because you have a portion of the parking lot. 00:16:57
So there is just some buffer that's just kind of you know, built into into baking the cake, you know, having the, the parking lots 00:17:05
and the landscaping kind of kind of pushed back. But we we can pull some dimension lines for you. So you want to give me a minute, 00:17:11
I can do that piece. Yeah. And this gives you an idea of the building location. No site plan has been approved yet for this. And 00:17:17
so this is preliminary. This is what they would like to do in that Northern lot. So you do have. Yeah, I don't Morgan can put the 00:17:23
statistics here. 00:17:29
To show what they are proposing in the in a future site plan application. 00:17:36
About 80 feet is what they're saying would be the distance between the property line and that the building too. 00:17:41
So sorry, so you're saying 80 feet to the property line? 00:17:57
So the property line, OK. And I can give you the number from the property line to the existing channels about 25 feet. Yeah, those 00:18:00
are really tall buildings, incredibly close to front doors. I. 00:18:06
That's a huge problem for me. From what I'm measuring is 28 and it looks like there's a pop out that comes a little bit closer. 00:18:13
I'm on. 00:18:17
So 28 looks like an average. 00:18:23
And then you have 25 feet, so 2528 the the the building faces undulate back and forth. 00:18:26
So that would be, you know, over 100 feet. 00:18:34
We don't have to open up a public hearing. 00:18:37
You guys want to come up to the microphone? You can. 00:18:50
So just so that. 00:18:56
You know, you understand the basis of wanting to go higher. 00:18:58
We're we're wanting to have a higher floor to ceiling space in the SO. 00:19:03
Whether you're at 60 feet or 70 feet, the extra 10 feet up above is more for the mechanical and the roof structure and that up 00:19:11
there. So the window elevations are going to be within probably a few feet of each other, whether it's at 60 feet or 70 feet. So 00:19:18
and that those are those three, the two buildings there, those are the ends of the building. So you know most of the windows are 00:19:26
east, West and not looking towards the north, yeah. 00:19:33
And as far as like setbacks and stuff, it's already it's owned how it is like, so whether or not the buildings go in, that's not 00:19:41
in our control right now. So yeah. 00:19:47
So as far as as far as one and two, do you guys have more commercial space plan for lot 1, which is the southernmost lot or is 00:19:56
there a reason why you're wanting to do both, just open up your options or what's the thinking well to keep to keep our options 00:20:03
open, I mean they they may want to put more office buildings back there, but the plan is to put more of a commercial component 00:20:10
down there and something that. 00:20:17
Parkings, you know, would be the issue when we get down to that site and so you end up with a parking structure. 00:20:25
But there's a definite need, I think you need in the city, and I need it around here to get some good Class A office space, which 00:20:32
is what we're trying to bring in on this parcel. The extra floor space is what, you know, the bigger companies are looking for. 00:20:38
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, height, ceiling heights, not building heights. Yeah, I understand that for sure. OK. Did you guys 00:20:45
have any other questions for him? 00:20:52
Or for staff though. 00:20:59
Not like it really matters because the army zone is full with residential, but I think potentially limiting this to 70 feet 00:21:03
maximum for commercial buildings. 00:21:09
Can we change that wording? Is that? 00:21:16
Yeah. If that's a recommendation, then we would pour that to the City Council. And then so you could do that as part of your 00:21:18
motion and then they they they could debate it at the City Council. Yeah, OK. 00:21:24
If there are any questions, does anybody have a motion? 00:21:31
Anymore you said you had some concerns. 00:21:35
I see it all my concerns. I have no control over any of it. 00:21:40
Yeah, so. 00:21:49
You know from a Planning Commission side you're providing the recommendations City Council. So if if if you there are concerns you 00:21:51
can you can put those in your your your motion. 00:21:56
They're also welcome to to to to request you know more information if you'd like. So I mean it's it's it's up to you. But we do 00:22:03
need to as this is our second meeting we we need to kind of start taking steps forward. So if there's like a a view line that 00:22:09
you're concerned about from the North side, you can you you could request. 00:22:16
That they provide you know a view perspective from you know the the townhomes on the on the north. You know you could just request 00:22:23
that they you know that that that is a concern that they consider. 00:22:29
I mean, a lot of it's just they're they're gonna be windows in this office space, and there are people's private residences right 00:22:38
there that people they don't know will be able to look right into. And what if they want to have their windows open like that, but 00:22:44
then they risk their privacy being invaded so succinctly by a commercial building? 00:22:50
This is all I'm just generally upset by it. And then we want to make it bigger. Like I'm going to, I'm going to hear from a lot of 00:22:58
people about this and. 00:23:03
I. 00:23:10
Don't know what else I can say. 00:23:12
But I was honestly hoping that this is for the northernmost parcel because I would have been like, yeah, two thumbs up sounds 00:23:15
great. 00:23:18
Because it's away from residents, it's not. 00:23:23
Right where people are going to be walking and playing and ripping, yeah. 00:23:27
But here we are. 00:23:32
And you know, you brought up a good point too, where I think you acknowledge that how it's currently zoned. 00:23:36
Has did consider, but I I do I do understand your your your concerns. So it just brings back to a neighborhood they lived by an 00:24:14
American fork and it was unfortunately next to the hospital property and they felt this size of a building about 60 feet, 70 feet 00:24:21
from the property lines. But you that's all you can see. 00:24:29
You go in the neighborhood. That's all you can see. 00:24:38
And that was deeply upsetting to everybody. 00:24:41
Around the whole hospital complex but like. 00:24:44
There was not a whole lot of. 00:24:49
Things we could do about it, right? 00:24:51
The one thing I Polish abuse is is an office building. So nowadays we can. 00:24:58
5 Apologies Now you'll have to. You can even talk into this one if you want, but we don't. We don't get anything on the recording. 00:25:04
It's not. 00:25:07
I. 00:25:12
I was saying that being the proposed use that we're bringing in is an office building. So the hours of operation are are more in 00:25:16
line with the hours that the residents there are going to work, going to school during the holidays, weekends. You know there 00:25:25
won't be many people in these buildings. And so that's actually a benefit for the type of use that we're proposing there. 00:25:34
But then also this uses granted. 00:25:44
I mean when the zone was created, these are the things that the city wanted in this parcel and put in. So the city previously made 00:25:48
the decision to put these type of uses next to to the townhomes there. So if you go back far enough, we wanted businesses with 00:25:56
residents on top. But again, here we are and I can work for them. 00:26:05
Yeah, I know. 00:26:16
I am voice my displeasure, but I I know this is before my time and I can be angry about it. 00:26:17
No, that's fine. We we definitely respect your your opinion and however however you guys want to to to move forward. It is up to 00:26:27
you. I think what we're looking for tonight is if we can I mean you're you're able to to continue if you want to. I'd be very 00:26:36
specific if you want something to if you want like a diagram or something but you know we would recommend that you move it forward 00:26:44
to the City Council and you can have them you know consider specific aspects of the project if if you are what worried about it. 00:26:52
So it's it's up to you however you want to make a motion. Thanks every motion. 00:27:00
Yeah, I'm comfortable making a motion and I hope everyone feels comfortable voting for or against it. 00:27:07
Wherever they stand. So I moved to recommend approval of Ordinance 2023-26 with the following conditions that it's limited to just 00:27:14
commercial space, and only on lots one and two of Plat B, nowhere else in the RMU. 00:27:23
Do I have a second? 00:27:33
So we'll we'll need a second on the motion guys. 00:27:39
All right, great. Then So this is roll call, right? Yeah, you'll have to do a roll call. 00:27:42
Commercial handoff, yeah. So office would to clarify office countless commercial, right. So it's basically can I say non 00:27:50
residential, would that be right as a clarifier you feel comfortable with that? Yeah, I know that there are some people that 00:27:57
wanted to make public comment as well, but I know we closed the public hearing last time so, so technically we did close the 00:28:04
public hearing with the in the last meeting. 00:28:11
I'll allow some public comments for some questions and stuff if you want to make them brief. I assume, Daria, that you have some. 00:28:19
We now we do need AI, don't know if someone seconded. If we did have a second, do we need to? OK, you do have a second. Typically 00:28:26
that's done before, but if you want I'd make it pretty brief cuz you do wanna once you make a motion you wanna make a decision on 00:28:32
it, so. 00:28:38
You could have people coming. OK, if you can make it real quick. Thanks. 00:28:46
I just, oh, Daria Evans. 00:28:52
I just have one question about how you're going to enter those buildings from the road, what roads, where are the entrances going 00:28:54
to be? So, so with all that, that's going to be in the site plans when they come with site plans and we'll talk about all those 00:29:00
details. OK. Thank you very much. 00:29:05
OK. 00:29:13
So we have a motion, Anthony, with a motion Did you want, did you want to? 00:29:14
That amendment. Yeah, as proposed by staff. And we have a second by Graydon and this is roll call, Anthony. Hi, Bryce. I Tay. No 00:29:20
Graydon. All right. And that passes. Yes. That passes 3 to 1. So it'll go to City Council. OK, great. Thank you guys for bringing 00:29:27
the like site, site using stuff that was very helpful. I want the businesses. 00:29:34
I just gotta make a point to City Council here. Yeah, thanks. All right, moving to 3.2, the site plan application for Lake 00:29:42
Promenade. 00:29:47
Yeah. 00:29:54
On this next item, we have Rachel who will provide a presentation and then the applicant and representatives from OJB who are the 00:30:13
landscape architectural firm that designed the promenade will will be here to to provide kind of the more in depth analysis of it. 00:30:19
Thanks Great. 00:30:25
Just trying to get it pulled up. 00:30:33
And Bronson, if you have material and stuff you you you can get up there, maybe just let Rachel go through her presentation and 00:30:44
then you guys can connect in so. 00:30:49
Her cast Could we switch? 00:30:58
These. 00:31:01
Yeah, yeah. 00:31:11
That should work. 00:31:24
Cash, can you come look at this? 00:31:48
I don't know. It's not. This has to be solid. 00:31:59
So it's still just living? 00:32:05
Have you used this before in your laptop? Yeah, I have. 00:32:08
If you want his my laptop I can pull the stack for. 00:32:12
OK, I have a presentation. 00:32:16
Where's it saved under the reports? 00:32:20
Yeah, Commission folder. 00:32:23
There we go. OK, so this is an application from Agboro. 00:33:30
They're all here tonight. We have someone from Flagship Woodbury, and they have their landscape architect OG Bay here. This was 00:33:36
something that the Planning Commission looked at a couple years ago for initial feedback. 00:33:43
Yeah. 00:33:53
So they're here tonight. 00:33:58
We have several conditions of approval. You guys can read through these, but we can go through these more at the end after Bronson 00:34:03
completes his presentation. 00:34:08
So I'll just turn over the time to him to go over all the details or whoever is doing the presentation. Yeah. So here I'll I'll 00:34:16
just say something really quick that we were really happy to have OJB here. We were at City Council a couple weeks ago and the 00:34:23
mysterious voice from Zoom was Sam. So we have him here in person. We're excited to have them here with us and really excited 00:34:29
about the project and excited to to get things rolling, so. 00:34:36
Without further ado. 00:34:44
That's still loading. 00:35:09
Where was this minutes ago? 00:35:19
A couple hours ago. 00:35:22
Need anybody on the same heritage with JB? 00:35:29
So as Marshall mentioned, I'm going to take a few minutes. I'm just going to walk through from a high level kind of the current 00:35:33
design and as well as some of the elements within the park design and Promenade design, so. 00:35:39
So is Rachel highlighted? The problem itself is broken into six blocks. It's highlighted on the diagram above, starting with the 00:35:48
transportation and running east to West towards the lake in the lakefront. Each block is unique in character. 00:35:55
Intent to We'll go through some of the design behind each of those. 00:36:03
Here's the size of each one. 00:36:11
Block one on the east, it's called the Transit Plaza. Just under 2 acres 1.7, two in size. Market Square streetscape is just an 00:36:13
acre in length and size. Pacific Square Lot 3 just under an acre as well. The Greenway, a little bit larger. Block 4, just over 2 00:36:20
1/2 acres. 00:36:26
Block 5 is the the largest of the Six Blocks Civic Park, just under 5 acres. 00:36:34
Inclusive sub elements, including a community pool which would be something each pack. 00:36:43
Block 6, The waterfront park just over 4 and a quarter acres adjacent to. 00:36:49
So what I want to do is just walk through each block, talk about the design tent, as well as kind of talk about some of the 00:36:58
programmatic elements. 00:37:01
So is there, this is the transit Plaza part, block 1 dividing kind of direct connection to the transportation itself that's 00:37:05
currently there. It will be a little bit more urbane in character with buildings on either side both North and South. Part of the 00:37:14
idea is to bring pedestrians through the space so you can see the flowing meandering pathway network carved out by planting 00:37:22
elements of the kiosks, potential water feature there, lawn areas and a plane of opportunities for CD and variety of uses. 00:37:30
We've highlighted certain locations that we think that would be viable for furniture layout. They're highlighted kind of the Navy 00:37:39
blue color. And then we've also kind of highlighted potential locations where we think waste receptacles management opportunities 00:37:44
for the spaces. 00:37:49
Sam, while we're on this block, can we talk a little bit? This was brought up in kind of previous meetings. 00:37:55
About when you get off the train station, you're walking W you have essentially like that building right there. So I mean I think 00:38:00
the concern was creating kind of that sense of of arrival whereas like just because it's kind of a weird offset you're, it's not 00:38:06
like you're arriving in the Plaza, you have to walk over to it. Yeah. Can you kind of explain maybe how you maintain kind of that 00:38:12
sense of arrival? 00:38:18
With that, I don't know just kind of how how that environment is as you first come off before you you reach out. 00:38:25
And if you could even with the cursor maybe on that previous one just show like sure where where are they getting off the train. I 00:39:16
know there's there's a South and a N exit of. So right now on the Instagram we're just showing the Northern, but coming off there 00:39:21
would be a platform and then there's a pedestrian pathway that kind of runs NS parallel and then you would basically come off and 00:39:27
you would walk N open to the space. 00:39:33
You mentioned kiosks. What type of kiosks did you have in mind? 00:39:40
And so we'll have a few more slides. Right now, it's a trellis, an overhead structure, movable seating underneath. And then 00:39:44
there's also potential for a future restaurant or a restaurant or food and beverage element, which is the highest #30 there, so. 00:39:52
So just out of curiosity, what are the plans for that building where you step off the station and have that building right there? 00:40:00
What what are? 00:40:04
Your hopes for I mean, yeah. 00:40:08
Into the mic more so. We haven't designed that building yet, but. 00:40:13
It'll be mixed-use. It'll be likely retail along the bottom, possibly residential or office above that. And so part of the idea of 00:40:20
this is we want this Plaza to engage those buildings. So that first story retail, what OJB showing here that #27 and then some of 00:40:27
these like darker shaded areas you're living mouse here. 00:40:35
These are areas where we we are looking to whatever these buildings end up being when they're designed. The idea is that they 00:40:44
would spill out into the Plaza and engage with the Plaza. But we also realize a large function of this Plaza is flow through 00:40:51
people going up to the station from from the downtown area coming up the promenade to the station coming out of the station into 00:40:59
the residences or office spaces. So we we're kind of. 00:41:06
And I love the idea that like where you can actually wait near the train, like right next to the entrance of the train. Is there a 00:41:46
reason why you guys decided to go this direction? No, I think that's still, that's still the idea like this. This corner building 00:41:52
here would have that opportunity almost like a. 00:41:57
You know, like a train station function of people either waiting at the in the lower level of this building, it just hasn't been 00:42:04
designed yet It'll it'll come later, but that's still the idea. The parking structure, the large parking structure is just South 00:42:10
of these kind of three buildings that you're seeing. I was talking to Morgan earlier. We've kind of looked at those. The edge of 00:42:16
that parking structure is like doing some kind of mural. So that would be like this real big. I've arrived at that Utah State a 00:42:21
year. 00:42:27
That, yeah, that that would be awesome. 00:42:34
Utah City Avengers So. 00:42:38
Yet an amenity like this that maybe even had a board inside that says you know northbound 5 minutes, southbound 20 minutes, like 00:43:13
you know I I think that dispute that helped create that that that those amenities especially if we want our residents to take 00:43:20
transit, you know providing kind of just that those extra level of amenities is going to make it a much more like quality 00:43:26
experience. And then I I guess another question I have right there is. 00:43:33
Is this a road? Then right here, that's the regional trail. That's the trail. OK, so there are no roads between. OK, cool. 00:43:41
Perfect. 00:43:45
So just to maybe clarify a couple things, my name is Jared Boss. I work with Sam with OJB. As we look at the greater context of 00:43:50
the area, I know we're looking at the Promenade right now and at the Transit Plaza, one of the things that we have talked about as 00:43:58
we've looked at the architecture and then as we think of the greater team, there are a couple of things that come to mind. One is 00:44:05
we do have the the north-south Path, so that will connect through the Greater Vineyard project. 00:44:12
We are at the North End of the train station here. As we've looked at the architecture for these areas, these lower areas are 00:44:20
anticipated as retail areas. We are also in the process of bringing on a branding, A branding and a wayfinding consultant as well. 00:44:27
So we've talked about ideas of how do we engage people when people are using some of these retail spaces or if they're sitting by 00:44:34
the fountain, how would we, how would we notify them and and. 00:44:41
The train will be here in 5 minutes or something like that, so that there is this procession, there is this pathway. So I think as 00:44:50
we continue to move forward with the architecture, an opportunity on the side of the garage as we see that north-south path begin 00:44:57
to develop, I think we'll start to see plantings, trees, some lighting elements and some of that way finding that takes you 00:45:05
through as a greater idea and we'll show this through the slides. 00:45:12
The the real idea and and this is not an uncommon term as we look in other cities is it's really kind of this court ashore or from 00:45:20
the transit rail connection to to the lakefront. So we're very interested in connecting pedestrians all the way down this 00:45:27
alignment and Bronson Anthony. 00:45:34
Is Anthony Fletcher. 00:45:43
I was gonna say are Anthony, but you're our Anthony as well. Employee Anthony Planner. Anthony, you're a planner too, so this is 00:45:45
gonna be hard. 00:45:48
But Anthony's working on a master wayfinding signage for the city. And so as you work on your wayfinding signage, if we could kind 00:45:54
of marry those two and so if maybe if you have a group that's working on pull, pull, Anthony in all those meetings, so great, 00:46:01
Thank you. I do also just something to point out that I like is having the garage space closer to the transit is a good thing? I 00:46:07
mean it's somebody I know somebody commented previously. 00:46:14
That they wished that for those that have a handicap or something that they were closer and it is a good thing that the parking 00:46:21
dodge is closer and you want you don't want the parking garage to be there and then nothing. So it doesn't make sense. 00:46:27
And like to that point that that structure we anticipate that UTA would have. 00:46:34
A lot of stalls in there and there would be ADA stalls in there. So essentially we are getting those accessible stalls as close as 00:46:40
possible to the station. Perfect. Cool. 00:46:45
Just going to go through a few renderings, then we'll go to block 2. 00:46:56
Some imagery of what the water feature could be. 00:47:01
Block 2, Market Square. So as you head east from the transit Plaza towards the lake, the idea here is it once again, it's kind of 00:47:08
a continuation of a flow as you're heading through the open space, very much kind of a retail oriented space with walkways, lots 00:47:15
of seating. Part of the idea is to kind of work with the tree layout and have some potentially some sort of overhead element that 00:47:23
kind of sets the tone and the character space pedestrianize the scale of it. 00:47:30
Once again, the idea is also to carry through kind of the paving materiality to start to kind of link these spaces together. So 00:47:38
here's a few views of ideas of what the space could feel like. 00:47:43
And then moving to Block 3 Civic Square. 00:47:50
So it's where the space starts to open up. Starting on the eastern side, there's this opportunity for kind of an art element or 00:47:53
some sort of kind of visual kind of terminus as you're coming in into the promenade area that is almost that moment, right? A 00:47:58
visual moment as you're coming through. And what the idea is, it would open up to green space in the center, pedestrian circuit 00:48:03
circulation around the perimeter. And as you head to the West, it opens up to another Plaza space that starts to kind of marry up 00:48:09
to the streetscape. 00:48:14
In this rectangle, that's already, that's what you see has already occurred, yeah? 00:48:22
So driving into the downtown, this is the first feature you hit. Yeah. So when you when you cross on Main Street, you cross 800 N 00:48:31
This is 2 blocks up from 800 N. 00:48:36
So be looking east. 00:48:48
And you'll you'll see too. In here we have this, this. 00:48:53
Artwork you see in here, it's just placeholder stuff. This is not actually what's commissioned to go in. These are just. 00:48:56
A representation of some kind of sculpture or artwork that would be going in there. 00:49:04
With shade trees spread throughout, maybe some low slungs, you know, Charlotte. Additional trail structures where you can sit 00:50:14
down, have a couple you know, pick a table, grab a drink, you know, eat something along those lines. 00:50:19
So it's the view looking West. 00:50:28
Once again, architecture, these elements are very much conceptual. We actually have a little bit more development information on 00:50:31
some of the trauses to share. You can get an idea of kind of some of these spaces and see the water features on the bottom of the 00:50:36
screen, you know, gravel, quartz with a kind of a variety of elements. You can see the lawn spaces. That is one question I want to 00:50:40
bring up about just the. 00:50:45
Conceptual idea of this with this being a site plan, I mean there's no shortage of details in the 200 pages that are in there, 00:50:50
but. 00:50:53
I'm not comfortable with the IT could look like this versus it will you know, since we're in the site plan phase. So can you take 00:50:59
me through some of that cuz making a recommendation or approving something and being like well, I hope it looks like this, you 00:51:05
know, that's I'm uncomfortable with that. Yeah. So I guess part of that the context of that is. 00:51:11
This is this exactly what you're seeing today? 00:51:19
Is what we're proposing to build these architectural elements. We'll have to bring in an architect to develop this restaurant area 00:51:22
here in the middle. 00:51:26
This this structure, I would imagine you're going to see some architectural components. 00:51:33
In some of the other blocks that we are, we're moving forward quicker to construction because we don't have buildings on either 00:51:40
side designed yet. We're we're holding off on construction on this block, but we do want to come through and get this. You know 00:51:47
this is a lot more detail than when I brought it through before and so you know as as we move forward. 00:51:55
Will continue to develop these out and so where Sam is saying it could be this, this is this is what? 00:52:02
We as a developer like committed to build today. 00:52:10
If we move it into construction, if we change anything, we'll bring it back in for a a site plan amendment. 00:52:14
So. 00:52:22
Yeah, I guess that that would be the clarification on it could be this, it could be that we're we're holding off on construction 00:52:24
drawings on this block and the other blocks that don't have buildings designed yet, but on Block 5. 00:52:31
And we probably would get into this later, but I'll just say it now we're we OJB has provided a early release set that we'll be 00:52:39
submitting into engineering as soon as we're through the site plan approval and we'll we'll start work as soon as we can. 00:52:47
Get through engineering. 00:52:55
Construction drawings get those approved, we'll bring in a contractor. So we are anticipating starting construction like later 00:52:58
this year on the next block from here. 00:53:03
So hopefully, hopefully that helps. Social media versus reality pictures, you know, like your advertised hamburger versus what 00:53:08
came in the bag. No, I don't want it to be a stark difference broth and I think you guys mentioned this before. The idea is though 00:53:14
that you will always have a sidewalk or a trail through the promenade, even the sections that aren't completed to provide a 00:53:19
connection. But I think that was the. 00:53:25
Yeah, that's discussed in the past, but I think we should probably try to do that even from that building other blocks at least 00:53:31
get a pathway through so that there's a, yeah, there's some cohesiveness. I don't know if they if they come in like two or three 00:53:37
years down the road, you're going to have this big gap, so. 00:53:43
I don't want to address that, but that's kind of like in the past and. 00:53:50
So maybe to clarify a little bit on this, so would we say it may look like this, we think the way the plan is laid out, this is 00:53:56
pretty close to the configuration and later on in the presentation as we've looked at the entire promenade for all six blocks. 00:54:06
And Bronson indicated that we are further along for Block 5 we're going to show in this presentation. 00:54:18
What the architecture will look like in terms of the pavilions, shade structures, restroom structure. We'll also be looking at 00:54:25
materiality, so hardscape materials, the development of some of the details for the project. So, so that initial design effort for 00:54:33
Block 5 definitely informs all of the other blocks. So that materiality will carry through all six blocks. Now when he says we're 00:54:41
not exactly sure on the architecture here. 00:54:49
We think it's going to be in the same family. It may shift a little bit, it may get a little bit bigger or a little bit smaller. 00:54:57
But we definitely think these are all of the, these are all of the areas laid out in the plants, if that helps. 00:55:05
Yep, it's. 00:55:13
We still have quite a few more slides. 00:55:18
And I guess what I was, yeah, noting is just the rendering to the plan view. We have kind of a more, you know, we have kind of a 00:55:23
lot more information on those Trellises that we're going to be sharing, so. 00:55:27
So we'll go through the news. 00:55:32
If you're looking east. 00:55:38
So getting to block 5 Pacific Park. 00:55:42
Really kind of programmatically it's, it's centered around kind of a larger event lawn. We have a really robust play area with a 00:55:45
restroom included as well as sport courts. In addition on the on the perimeter we have additional trellises for family seating, 00:55:53
picnic areas, a fire pit in addition to kind of a multi functional spaces on the southern half of the park edge throughout there. 00:56:01
So you looking to the east? 00:56:12
Really quick first for context on that. Sorry, go ahead. Let's go to that one again. This is blocks five and six in context. So 00:56:16
those are the actual architectural buildings that are under construction now. Colors might change though. Colors are those are the 00:56:24
right colors. I'm talking about these buildings, these buildings back here. This is Block 6 and block 5. 00:56:33
And which Rd. is that? Oops, sorry, go backwards. That's been your connector. Yeah, that's been your connector fully built out. 00:56:48
They're only building the Western 2 wings. 00:56:53
An aerial view of the play area, a variety of different play elements. So we have you're showing here play tower slides. 00:57:04
Scrambles the walkway. You can see the restroom in the center. It's kind of serving as the gateway in the portal into the play 00:57:13
area as well. 00:57:17
Let's be looking down South, Opportunities for kids to run up and down the hillside scrambles. Slides. 00:57:25
The view N looking S back towards the play area, you see the sport court on the right side really kind of anticipating kind of a 00:57:36
free flow of of use in the space. So you know, seeing elements spread and these grapple cords allowing, you know, use to to kind 00:57:41
of flow through space into the event wall on her back now. 00:57:47
That whether it's private or public, that's still being worked out. And I wish it had already been worked out. But there's just a 00:58:24
lot of back and forth and it's a lot more complex than what a public or private maintenance of it. There's no question that these 00:58:31
will be, they'll be open to the public, right. Right. Yeah. These are open to the public, yes. And then yeah, as far as 00:58:37
maintenance goes, still working that out on. 00:58:43
On what that will be? 00:58:51
So this is the, the overpass connecting blocks 5:00 and 6:00. This is the vineyard connectors below. Really the idea is on the 00:59:00
northern side is to really kind of carve out a very much pedestrian friendly area with kind of a wider, wider promenade. The 00:59:06
overall roadway width, you can see there's about 70 feet. And so there's a good section of this that provides seating, enhanced 00:59:11
paving. There's going to be overhead elements that serve as kind of a portal and kind of a visual element and a queue to highlight 00:59:17
the space and also kind of. 00:59:22
Allow folks to go through. 00:59:28
Quick question on SO this is showing pictures of the Vineyard connector fully built out. Do you have any idea when that would be 00:59:32
or are we just gonna have a row of weeds on the entire way. Yeah well and I think they're you guys are kind of addressing some of 00:59:40
that at least right initially by the promenade and so you can see some of the plantings as it slows down but yeah we would have to 00:59:47
work with with with U dot on that with all with all the right of ways they. 00:59:55
They do very minimal landscaping. And so anything above is is a is a thing the city has to take on. So yeah, but we are working 01:00:03
on, I don't know, actually have some problems. So yeah. 01:00:11
Yeah, we're currently working with U dot, the aesthetics committee specifically so. 01:00:18
Fibro and OJB and the city submitted package to recently and they're reviewing it and providing us comments and so we're waiting 01:00:27
for their official comments back. The expectation on the embankments on the side of the on each side is to be landscaped and you 01:00:36
know you know it does provide a fair standard minimum standard and however they're willing to work with the city in terms of. 01:00:46
Allow for those upgrades on there. And then of course the maintenance of such would just be an agreement between the DLT and 01:00:55
Veneer City. Cool. Yeah. I just hate to have this like beautiful park on both sides and beautiful landscaping and then just like 01:01:01
this strip of not maintained anything. 01:01:07
I'm sure you guys feel the same way. 01:01:15
Some of you here, you can get a good, good look. This is north looking South. So the idea is, you know, really kind of, you know, 01:01:20
kind of creating a very much pedestrian scale space that's safe, welcoming, very much a linkage between blocks five and six. And 01:01:27
as I noted before, you can kind of see in the renderings here some of the overhead elements, both kind of as a visual cue both for 01:01:33
motorists on the roadway as well as kind of something that's skilled for people to see visually as they're walking through. 01:01:40
I had a question. 01:01:51
I have a question about landscaping and how has it if at all, changed throughout the years as far as your planning and what? 01:01:53
You know, what are we doing as far as water conservation? 01:02:06
So just in general, just talking about how we're planting landscape plans. So you know, I think in general, right we're, we're 01:02:12
planning that this these parks would be irrigated, but part of kind of irrigation systems nowadays very much managed by 01:02:18
controllers in tune with kind of the weather conditions, you know high efficiency systems whether it's drip irrigation, limiting 01:02:25
spray irrigation where it's very, you know typically more more seen nowadays as race school, right. So I think that's, that's 1/2 01:02:31
the other half is. 01:02:37
Really kind of focus on planting ballots that are really much adapted and you know, kind of native to this area and really kind of 01:02:43
you know over time they've, you know, developed the right to to thrive in this area. So I think kind of really being smart and 01:02:49
respectful, working within the bounds not only that the city has in terms of material selection, but also kind of being smart in 01:02:54
terms of how you lay those out, how you design those, how you coordinate those and and kind of being very cognizant of how that's 01:03:00
that's done. 01:03:05
Great. And at what point are these plans as far as landscaping locked in or are they subject to change maybe in a year or two you 01:03:15
consider oh, let's put rocks here versus? 01:03:21
You know, grass. 01:03:28
Black building permits on them on Xbox. 01:04:02
And last block Waterfront Park which is block 6 out of all the blocks, this has the largest event line as you can see to the 01:04:13
north. The idea is to have an event filling with the restroom here, both supportive of the park this park and block as well as 01:04:19
well as potentially the waterfront flanking the perimeter, we would have a dog park. In addition, you can see the vineyard 01:04:25
connector as it slopes down. 01:04:31
To the right here. In addition, we have kind of a variety of seating areas programmatically you can see in the bottom left hand 01:04:38
corner anticipating that there be volleyball courts or some sort of amenity that kind of starts to have that relationship with the 01:04:44
waterfront trails on there as well. This is where the lakefront townhomes are right now, correct? 01:04:50
Since since we have this plan up I think it it it helps to clarify you you asked about park trends I I would think I. 01:04:58
If we were doing a part 10/15/20 years ago, you would see most of this planted as long. 01:05:06
As lawn and trees. 01:05:13
So one of the things that we have done is of this six blocks along the promenade, this will have probably the largest pavilion. We 01:05:15
anticipate that being able to be programmed for large events where you can have movie on the lawn, maybe there's a performance 01:05:22
that's in that pavilion. So a lot of people we think could be, could gather in this lawn on all of the perimeter and the edges. So 01:05:29
where we have the street trees, we think that's native and adaptive planting that takes place at the base of that. So that's 01:05:35
probably a change. 01:05:42
Typically, we would have done a park strip that we would have mowed that we would have watered every day. And all of these kind of 01:05:49
perimeter edges where we are on the connector. We think that's a lot of native grasses highlighted with plantings. We've had a 01:05:57
couple of meetings with the city as well and we have kind of an initial package where we've mapped out what we think a lot of the 01:06:04
trees are. We've also looked at a planting pallet. We think we have a couple of work sessions with the city. 01:06:12
And that was some of our discussion points on getting to the right varieties and now we're really getting into details, but we 01:06:19
talk about the soils, what are the soils, what are trees that are planted right now in vineyard that have been successful and 01:06:25
trees that the cities having issues with. So those are all things that we want to avoid. So when when you say is is something 01:06:31
fixed, we don't think it's fixed yet. We want to, we want to have a robust discussion with the city and make sure we get those 01:06:37
those things right. 01:06:43
Absolutely. OK, so this is a rendering from the South. Looking to the north, I see the lake in the distance. On the bottom right 01:06:59
hand corner of the image you can see the dog park area. It's the intent behind it is to provide kind of two spaces, some for 01:07:06
larger dogs, some for smaller dogs It'll be. 01:07:13
Secured by a fence. 01:07:20
A gate system for unleashing as well. And then there would be a kind of variety of seating elements nearby as well. 01:07:21
There's another view. 01:07:33
Looking to the north? 01:07:35
See the dog park on the right side, the idea of volleyball or sand sand volleyball quotes on the left. 01:07:38
Rendering of the dog park. 01:07:48
As mentioned before, you know the idea that there be some amenities in there for the dogs to play with. You know, small berms, you 01:07:51
know, maybe tunnels, you know things for them to to run through. Plenty of seating for folks to sit on and watch as well. 01:07:57
So next thing we wanted to go through kind of talk about the architecture and talk about the character that we envision and and 01:08:06
where they're located throughout the six blocks. So starting from the east heading to the West, anticipating A trellis and a 01:08:13
pavilion in the transit Plaza highlighted there in magenta, the two kiosks that we were discussing earlier on Block 4, the 01:08:21
Trellises one, both on the eastern side and the western side, flanking kind of that, that central pavilion. 01:08:28
And then Block 5 that we discussed, there would be a family for four structures. There'd be a larger event pavilion, a restroom. 01:08:36
Smaller houses. 01:08:42
And then on Block 6, there would be the larger event pavilion that you could see on the north half. 01:08:44
So from an architectural character standpoint, we really kind of wanted to take cues from naturalistic elements would that you can 01:08:52
see through here very, very much sculpted in tune kind of with the Utah landscape and some of the elements that you know we've 01:08:59
been showing through the park. So really trying to kind of have the synergy between architecture and landscape. 01:09:06
So wanted to kind of walk through kind of design wise maybe what I'll do is I'm going to skip to the sections and the renderings 01:09:15
to give you an idea. So really the idea is that all these elements start as Jerick alluded to, really start to develop a character 01:09:21
throughout all the blocks, right, and start to set a kind of tone and feel for all the spaces. So really the ideas that we're 01:09:27
looking at is going to like wood, wood canopies, you know, variety of like coverings, whether they're solid or opaque, you know, 01:09:33
allowing shade, variety uses. 01:09:39
And very, very elegant, very simple columns you know, that you know don't take up a lot of space. Allow for a variety of seating 01:09:45
options and movement through the space as well. 01:09:49
And then starting to kind of speak to some of these other blocks, there's so many press see they they they're very much a variety 01:09:57
within the family in terms of sizes, function right intense. So for example in Block 4, the idea is that they would be very much, 01:10:03
you know within the family of that larger architectural element and center. So they'd be very much horizontal. 01:10:10
And even though they may be larger in size, but they're very much diminutive in the fact that they kind of elegantly fit within 01:10:18
the landscape. 01:10:21
I. 01:10:29
And similarly kind of on the block on the western half of Block 4, very much taking kind of similar architecture, character 01:10:33
starting to craft its layout to fit within the landscape space you can see. Starting to play with angles, play with the layout, 01:10:39
but once again playing with that overall character, very, kind of very wood, wood focused canopy on the top, you know, simple 01:10:45
columns, but once again just trying to repeat that character throughout. 01:10:50
Starting to get to Block 5, this is the event, the pavilion on the eastern half. You can kind of see how that the architecture 01:11:10
once again is the language repeats, but very much started to be crafted kind of fit within the context of the space. This one very 01:11:17
much is opening up to the lawn area with the intent that it's kind of supportive of any programmatic elements whether it's it's 01:11:24
larger events, smaller events with underneath the canopy, but very much kind of a tone setting but flexible space, right? 01:11:30
So we'll get there in a moment. 01:12:17
So I mentioned Block 5 has the restroom. So this is kind of a good idea of kind of the restroom layout very much a very elegant 01:12:19
structure, has kind of restroom supportive of both the play area but the park itself, storage space and then ample coverage over 01:12:26
the top to both kind of allow for picnics, parties, birthday parties, you know, connected. 01:12:33
Starting to step back a little bit talking about these these trolls, secondary trellises very much was intended to be kind of as a 01:12:49
family with the restrooms here. So it is kind of imagine families going to the playground area. You may want to come out, have 01:12:55
birthday parties or picnics or stay a little bit later in the evening. So these trolls are intended to be supportive of of kind of 01:13:01
the playground and family use, whether it's events you know they can stage and set up there as well. 01:13:07
A traditional approval should be that we have only some of those main areas that I'm shaded we we we're going back to Grove Park 01:14:24
at Penny Springs Park. So we have a lot of residents request shade structures. The city's putting up quite a big investment to 01:14:30
have those covered now and so. 01:14:36
Be pushed upon us by the residents. So yeah, and it could even even if it's, I don't want to say temporary, but like canvas shade 01:15:15
structure things just something that once the trees are grown in, I mean you could take it down and then would be fine. But yeah, 01:15:23
like a lot of our park space isn't utilized during the summer because there is no shade which is such a shame. So yeah, sing sing 01:15:31
more any any more say it is a benefit. 01:15:38
So I think, I think one, one of our goals for instance in this area here we've we've focused on water play. So in some of these 01:15:46
renderings we've made the trees a little bit transparent. I think in the playground as we've been talking with the team, we'd like 01:15:53
to use larger trees. So we see this as a little bit of an Oasis. 01:16:00
In the study of the architecture, so the restroom pavilion is about 50% of the size of this canopy. So that canopy extends out and 01:16:09
beyond so that there's seating, seating areas underneath here. We kind of call it like the the mothers or the family area, but 01:16:17
definitely understand the point. We're showing these little areas, these are little play cabins and then underneath the boardwalk, 01:16:26
we have other events that can happen that happen as well for play. So trying to balance those. 01:16:35
Just firm, wide. And as a practice, I like to use natural materials. So mulches. We like to, we're looking to avoid paints and all 01:16:44
of those types of things as well. Yeah. And and as far as the shade stretches from the trees, like, absolutely. It's just when 01:16:52
will they be big enough for that to actually be? It's the first like five years. That's brutal. Yeah, maybe you don't share the 01:16:59
entire thing, but like picking like what? One of those areas. 01:17:06
And and providing some some good like especially the sliding crime climate structure. My my kids won't even touch it if it's gonna 01:17:14
be too hot to touch so if it's just stated. 01:17:20
Isn't that I mean like an inventor drill park during peak hours though like splash area is always busy because you know cold water 01:18:00
but other than that there are times where the rest of like the playground is just kind of vacant when it hits those temperatures 01:18:08
and so anyway, well here's the thought real quick and I'm sure you guys will do your research and find out what cost beneficial, 01:18:15
but you know maybe consider importing or transporting mature trees. 01:18:22
And do it. They can be so that might. 01:18:30
Problem with maturities is they have a very low survival rate. They tend to die pretty quick. 01:18:33
Just because the fruit system gets real upset. 01:18:40
Yeah. 01:18:44
Here's a rendering. 01:19:41
So very much an idea would have covering, there may be an opportunity for as you can see in there skylights to allow for natural 01:19:42
light to come through, but really very much in scale in keeping to allow for kind of larger events potentially. And so you can see 01:19:49
in addition with the solid rooftop plenty of shade anticipated for kind of intermittent use for seating and dying as well. 01:19:56
So this is you looking directly at it from the 1 area. 01:20:08
So next topic I want to go through is kind of overarching material palette. So a lot of this can be on hard skate materials. 01:20:15
So very much in keeping what we just talked about with the architecture, naturalistic materials, very durable, very sturdy. So 01:20:23
concrete where appropriate, concrete unit paving, some of these other kind of secondary seating areas, gravel. 01:20:30
Very much kind of using local stone or kind of regionally sourced stone where appropriate, certain areas as well. 01:20:39
And then obviously kind of talking about the architectural material in more depth, So with sliding wood infill, maybe using glam 01:20:47
for the structures that support it on the hat, very kind of simplistic metal siding, standing seam roofs for the solid elements, 01:20:53
tile interiors, easy to maintain, clean, cleanly looking. 01:20:59
Kind of providing a variety of different textures to sit on, functional uses and as noted, kind of the gravel, seating areas and 01:21:38
once again kind of falling within that earthy, earthy tone, earthy palette. 01:21:43
So starting from from east to West, again, we're just going to walk through the spaces. So very much from from context and 01:21:51
character in the transit Plaza, very much kind of probably predominantly focus on concrete unit paving there. There's bands that 01:21:58
we talked about earlier. It's kind of those wayfinding elements supportive of the space kind of stimulus flowing through different 01:22:04
kind of colors and finishes kind of highlighting that you can see in the center water feature very much a stone element as well. 01:22:11
Real quick, I guess either either slide works, what's the plan to connect, connect them all. Like are you gonna have the road just 01:22:19
like bisect, like coming through it or are you gonna have the stone go through and you have to drive over the stone? Like what's 01:22:25
the plan there as far as? 01:22:31
It's kind of one of those tactile cues that they're in a different space. Is that going to be for all of the transitions or just 01:23:14
this first one just up here between the plus one and two, OK, what's the plan for between block actually between 3:00, between 01:23:21
4:00 and 5:00, between 4:00 and 5:00 also, but I'm I'm kind of concerned about between 2:00 and 3:00 specifically where it's a 01:23:28
square about square about how how that will transition as far as there's. 01:23:35
Right. This is a good one. So you can see all the ramp, the crosswalks and all the ramping that's happening in here. 01:23:43
So we need like the next step of this is to send through alpha to have Alta review this and and weigh in on this. 01:23:49
But those connections are all happening via RAMPS and crosswalks OK and then. 01:24:00
Because right here. 01:24:07
Is the Market Street. 01:24:09
So is there a plan to have like crossing here, some people becoming pretty much from everywhere on that street I would assume? 01:24:13
Or is it just they got to come up and over here to get in or Yep, they would follow those those crap crosswalk paths. Yeah, 01:24:21
similar 12 questions and we can wait till you've got a full one to like load. If you just take it through. Like if I was walking, 01:24:26
how would I go from the train station all the way down to the lake if I wanted to? Or biking, how would I go from the train state? 01:24:32
No. 01:24:38
Yeah, you're supposed to do that right now. 01:24:44
I don't get lots of slides and then probably no, it's all good. We're past halfway, I think. 01:24:47
People can flow from one side to the other. This is. 01:25:37
Essentially, pavers from building phase to building phase. 01:25:41
There will be some great in it but there won't be like a a drop curve lanes and then as we we transition the block, Block 3 as we 01:25:44
just discussed you know the the predominant points of crossing right will be the crosswalks. You know the the curb ramps that are 01:25:52
that are noted both coming from the from the north side down into block 3. And then there's crosswalks set between block 3 and 01:26:00
block 4 and this is where bike lane infrastructure would begin on these. 01:26:08
Streets if someone was comfortable. 01:26:16
The street in between block one and two, Sorry, so I'm like grab this. There is. There's a dedicated bike lane through this area 01:26:20
as well. 01:26:24
So you know, as that comes through the paper area, it'll probably. 01:26:29
This our standard throughout downtown is to do a painted bike lane, a green painted bike lane. But when we come through the 01:26:36
pavers, I'm not sure yet if we're going to use that green stripe or if it will be a different color paper through the bike lane, 01:26:42
but it'll be it'll be denoted through a a material change. 01:26:48
Yeah, and then? 01:26:57
And then they start to open up into lawn areas. And so that gives the opportunity to kind of meander and move through and kind of 01:27:33
have that opportunity to to explore and walk the way you want. But if you're really just trying to go to the waterfront, you have 01:27:38
plenty of access on the perimeter of the park to walk along the streetscape as well. 01:27:43
Where flexibility does open up a little bit is in block 5. You can see my cursor is not helping as much here, but you can see. 01:27:52
Really, once again, the same methodology you open up to a Plaza space, but really getting you're going to need to get to the 01:28:30
southern side right now to crossover Vineyard Connector if you're really trying to get down to the waterfront edge right now. So 01:28:36
very much a setup. There's a variety of spaces, there's open walkways. 01:28:42
To get. 01:28:49
The only cross point across being connected will be the bridge the overpass, yes, other than the three intersections that you 01:28:51
document. 01:28:55
In US N Main St. the North Promenade, and then. 01:29:00
I don't know what we call the N 1 yet, but the north, the north intersection. 01:29:05
All right. Thanks for that. Sure, absolutely. 01:29:11
Foot back. 01:29:16
I guess it's also worth noting that a lot of that traffic is one way, right? Yeah, it's correct. 01:29:18
From the square about down from the square, about all the way down the vineyard connector, those are all just one way streets. 01:29:24
Cool. 01:29:29
Any idea? This is kind of irrelevant. Any idea what the speed limits will be on those roads? 01:29:36
Like 25 whatever the city. 01:29:42
So from a material perspective just kind of reinforcing what we talked about before really kind of on on these blocks east and 01:29:50
western half as you went from block to block having you know a bit of kind of open space for Plaza right here is where you would 01:29:56
have enhanced paving concrete unit favors what we're proposing right here. And then kind of on the East West walkways going to 01:30:01
like a really nicely scored concrete walkway. 01:30:06
Look like again? 01:30:15
The shade discussion if we're doing artificial turf, any kind of shade over artificial surface. 01:30:17
Super beneficial just because it gets hot. Understood. 01:30:24
Moving to block four, really the space opens up, we start on the eastern side, but the Plaza space with the with the Charles 01:30:32
pavilion that we were showing here. 01:30:36
From a materiality perspective, we noted kind of these courtyards, whether it's kind of a water play space, maybe stone paving 01:30:41
through here, decorative gravel for some of the other play elements. Once again it opens up to Lauren space, artificial turf, 01:30:47
right. We're proposing kind of on either side of the pavilion and then as you as you head to the West, really kind of opening up 01:30:53
to more gravel courtyards, not showing the plants here, but trees kind of shading and setting up kind of a Grove type aesthetic as 01:30:59
you go through here and once again. 01:31:05
You get to your western pavilion, the flanks and faces this lawyer as well. 01:31:11
Getting to block 5. 01:31:22
Plaza space on the eastern side enhanced with concrete unit paving. The walkways moving east and West as well as the name 01:31:28
walkways, North and South. Concrete paving really very much flanked by decorative gravel that's open. Allows for the broader uses 01:31:34
to proceed. Elements, fire pits, those kind of things play areas Jerry Could mentioned, you know wood chips in addition to 01:31:41
concrete paving for some of the accessible pathways through there as well. 01:31:47
The Sport Court would be concrete painted. 01:31:55
And then getting to the overpass area. It's intended to be concrete in Favors. 01:31:59
You can see here the walls will be cast in place concrete. 01:32:07
Metal elements. 01:32:10
To the overhead. 01:32:12
And getting to block 6, my hardscape perspective once again very much East, east West scored concrete paving, decorative gravel 01:32:15
for some of the walkways. The manual trials will want to be a connector as well as some of the seating areas, sand for the 01:32:22
volleyball courts and orchestra from the dog park. 01:32:29
So planting design. 01:32:40
From a from a character designed to perspective, the vision really has been, you know, you kind of kind of led us into this 01:32:43
conversation previously. But the idea is native active, ornamental and key areas really focused on kind of naturalistic planting. 01:32:50
One of the new connector for example, where you kind of have drifts of of kind of natives and make that. 01:32:57
You wanna see the full screen? 01:33:04
There you go, do the full one, zoom in a little bit more. But in addition, throughout park want to curate spaces, right And think 01:33:08
about seasonality, flexion through the variety of seasons. So looking for material that has character, you can see exfoliating 01:33:14
bark or ornamental grasses that keep the cups through the winter time. So really kind of starting to think about that character, 01:33:20
both the structured and naturalistic planting. 01:33:26
I've got a question here. We talked about this before. It's still up in negotiation as to who is going to maintain these grounds, 01:33:35
whether it's like an issue or the city. 01:33:39
It's still not confirmed is that the case? And I wonder about these walkways as far as snow removal, is that up to them? Whoever 01:33:45
takes care of it? What will can we expect there? 01:33:51
Yeah. I think, I think the expectation is just a high standard of care. And So what what we're working through is. 01:33:57
Do we set up some kind of foundation that that it's privately maintained through this foundation that gets funding through? 01:34:04
Through the tax in this area. 01:34:13
I mean, it wouldn't be like Flagborough. 01:34:16
Doing it ourselves, we would be hiring somebody to. 01:34:21
Or potentially this foundation would would hire a maintenance company that would take care of it, but the standard would be very 01:34:25
high for maintenance. Same with trash collection and sidewalks and sidewalks, snow removal, landscape care, all that. 01:34:33
So. 01:34:44
So from a planting perspective, just want to start with kind of overarching the tree palette, the idea. So really kind of wanted 01:34:49
to frame this out in different different kind of methodologies. So wanted to focus on street trees. You can kind of see would be 01:34:54
kind of one kind of certain tree types kind of working with the city within their standards on the species that they they 01:34:59
recommend and prefer. 01:35:05
And then obviously the overpass just the unique conditions, there's not structure finding, you know trees that are smaller able to 01:35:45
kind of grow within the conditions there as well. 01:35:49
Really kind of where we're thinking in terms of blocks five and six along the vineyard connector, really kind of shrub steps, 01:36:32
whether it's a seated condition. They're really kind of much more of a naturalistic planting with that kind of ever Evergreen tree 01:36:37
overlay we're discussing. 01:36:41
The dual tree plan. 01:36:53
Sorry I went backwards. So last thing that we want to talk about is kind of wedding my time character. 01:36:55
And then kind of throughout the Promenade, unique conditions, unique locations where there's really opportunities for accent 01:37:35
lighting. So you can kind of see that on the left or the right, Catenary, Festoon lights and maybe some of the seating areas. We 01:37:40
talked about it in Block 2, the Market Square with the overhead elements, really those opportunities in the play area, maybe some 01:37:45
accent lights to some of the structures or within the Charles themselves. 01:37:50
I don't know what's going backwards, sorry about that. So streetscape went to highlight kind of very much kind of a vertical pole, 01:37:58
horizontal light, the height there we're proposing about 20 feet and then typical spacing for those about 90 feet. 01:38:05
Within the park, the down lighting elements, so single pole, multi heads, variety of different directions and alignments about 15 01:38:18
feet height. So really the idea from a character standpoint is higher on the street, really want to step it down to what much more 01:38:23
of a pedestrian scale within the park. 01:38:28
Sorry. 01:38:39
So the one place where we would go a little bit bigger, the larger lawns, block 5, Block 6 to cover light in those lawn areas, we 01:38:42
go with a little tall pole, same methodology as those pedestrian scale poles, single single pole, multiple heads, direction, 01:38:49
directions of light to really kind of flank both the walkways and the lawn areas. 01:38:55
This is a good example, kind of a catenary lights for some of these seating areas. So really once again kind of trying to keep 01:39:44
these scaled down a little bit more to to pedestrian orientation. The the white picture itself about 15 feet in height with the 01:39:49
poles kind of slung off in the distance with cabling holding those up. 01:39:54
And then just kind of a little bit of detail kind of walk through kind of the lighting power of the lighting tent for all these 01:40:05
spaces. So kind of overarching what is described within the Plaza spaces, which you can see in dark blue, lower scaled 1215 foot 01:40:10
poles, directional lights throughout the center. Once you get to the streetscape, you can kind of see in kind of the pain care, 01:40:15
the magenta color really kind of flanking that layout, pedestrian scale, lightweight lighting support some of the Trellises, the 01:40:21
retail elements. 01:40:26
Kind of on block one and then any accent lights for any of those key features that maybe are, you know, kind of a sculpture art 01:40:32
element in there, something to support that as well. 01:40:36
Market Square really the key lighting element is going to be an overhead, right with with kind of tied to the street lights 01:40:47
Shinedown. So really the idea is really to kind of scale the space and really it's brought to you know to kind of promote that 01:40:52
flow both back and forth on the other side of the street. 01:40:57
Service Square. 01:41:06
Kind of in in keeping with what we just discussed in magenta and pink kind of the the roadway scaled lights and as you step into 01:41:09
the park much more pedestrian scale. So stepping that down multi headed directional they're really trying to keep that on the keep 01:41:14
that on the perimeter. 01:41:18
Touch screen, Touch screen. 01:41:24
Sorry. 01:41:29
So part 4, this kind of gets into some more of the event lighting that we were talking. So you can see that orange directional 01:41:35
really trying to be cognizant about how how much we use these, not to overdo it, but really kind of to focus on kind of key key 01:41:42
locations and really highlighting kind of the functional use of the space. Once again, very, very kind of keenly aware of kind of 01:41:48
where you would space the lighting along the pathways really just to highlight the directions of travel to pass the egress. 01:41:54
Some accent or some key unique lights. 01:42:36
So the overhead the vineyard connector. 01:42:45
So really kind of within these overhead elements kind of having these accent lights kind of built within those, very much intended 01:42:50
to light down onto the walkway, be well lit and obviously to that point to really promote pedestrian access and free flow. 01:42:56
And then block six once again, some of the methodologies very much kind of in pink. The streetscape oriented lights very much kind 01:43:05
of in keeping with the rest of the parks and the walkways and the pedestrian areas, the dog park, lower slum, pedestrian scale 01:43:11
like fixtures and an alarm space, larger kind of event lights. 01:43:16
That's, yeah. 01:43:26
For the presentation. 01:43:28
Sorry. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for your patience. 01:43:31
That's not even close to how much material we received. 01:43:38
Did you guys have any questions? 01:43:45
I'm gonna start. 01:43:47
I was going to say like the future pool area that's indicated, is that like water feature or actual pool? 01:43:53
Yeah, that that area we're reserving for like a resort style pool, it would have public access to it. We we aren't far enough 01:44:02
along in design there actually haven't. 01:44:07
We've got schematic design from OJB, but we'll be moving that into more design development, but not far enough long to share, but 01:44:12
we'll bring that back through. 01:44:16
To show that, see what actual intention was. 01:44:21
Sure. 01:44:29
Did you understand? No, go ahead. This is more just me recapping. Some of the thoughts I jotted down as you are going through is 01:44:46
one of just the flow and connectivity of trails and sidewalks which we talked about which I think is important. Also we've got our 01:44:53
bike parking standards which are baked into the code, but we want to make sure that that. 01:44:59
Goes along there because you know, with so many people living near this, you would hope that they're not driving across the street 01:45:06
to go to some of these amenities that it makes it easier for them to use alternative forms of transportation. I love the idea of 01:45:11
the UTA digital boards where people can. 01:45:16
When things are coming out, I think that that would be a pretty unique feel there and I really am supportive of that. 01:45:23
I also like the idea of what you said where if there was anything different than what's proposed tonight that would need a site 01:45:30
plan amendment. I think that's important too, because a lot of, I mean this is these are publicly available in a public meeting 01:45:37
and people will see this and get excited about it. And I think most people would probably say if we got exactly what was shown 01:45:43
here, we'd be excited about it. I think the hesitancy and maybe it's not necessarily due to you 3, but. 01:45:50
We don't always get what is advertised, right. And so I think it's on the public to say, hey, that's not what you showed us in on 01:45:57
staff to watch it like a hawk and all that type of thing. So that's just true for every site plan, but particularly something like 01:46:04
this because I will say I personally think downtown success hinges on this promenade because there are a lot of downtowns and 01:46:11
there are a lot of parks, but I can't think of any place in Utah that has. 01:46:19
Merged them together. 01:46:27
Very well so. 01:46:28
Yeah, people can move to whatever city they want, but I think people will find this unique and something they take pride in if 01:46:31
it's done right. 01:46:36
Following the tree manual and general plan guidelines, I think are always good things to refer to, which it sounds like you're on 01:46:42
board with the stage that Morgan was talking about. Sounds like that's taken care of as well. And then yeah, I agree with any 01:46:48
shade sales around playgrounds or at least one playground in an area to make it more usable. Those are my my key thoughts there. 01:46:54
I thought of another thing that I was thinking about. 01:47:02
On I can't remember which lot where I saw an area indicated as garden. Is that just like a broad general garden or is that like? 01:47:06
Because we're all OK A children's garden, Yeah, that that is maybe just a landscape architecture term, but it's a it's a play 01:47:18
space, like. 01:47:22
Children's garden would be kind of like that, that playground area. OK, cool. I know a big part of our setting, community efforts 01:47:28
are a community garden space. 01:47:33
Had all thought about and our promenade areas we have that has come up before but because of some restrictions from DEQ. 01:47:40
OK, that's fair. We can't find that very much, can we, that that comes into play on this area? 01:47:50
Yeah. 01:47:58
I mean, I just have to ask. 01:48:00
There may be opportunities, you know on on rooftops in the area for garden spaces. 01:48:03
Like you get a lot of people wanting to move there. 01:48:14
Great. And you have anything? 01:48:20
All right. We'll just take a minute. If there are any public comments, I'll write down your questions if you have questions and 01:48:25
make sure that I ask them. But yeah, if you want to just. 01:48:29
Take a minute, Daria. I'm sure. Thank you. Daria Evans, I just have four questions. OK. OK. 01:48:34
Will you have ramps at all your blocks for accessibility or only on block 6? 01:48:43
And on block five I would suggest in all abilities playground. I think that would be a draw because there are children that. 01:48:50
Have issues, you know, disabilities and and we need to include everyone. 01:49:02
The dog park. Is that the only place that dogs will be allowed? Will they be able to access every other area? And if so, then 01:49:09
you'll need to have dog weigh stations. 01:49:14
Because, you know, I don't have a dog, but I could see it happening. 01:49:20
It's nice to see it happening on the trail and then. 01:49:25
I'd like to know if you know how many residential doors are anticipated. I've heard 14 to 16,000 and I want to know if that is a a 01:49:30
good guess. 01:49:35
And that's got it. 01:49:41
Yeah, in the whole in. Well, in this area, yeah, this section, not east of the transit station. So like surrounding the promenade 01:49:45
or surrounding this promenade, surrounding the promenade, you know, north of it. 01:49:51
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all in their area, the main thoroughfare. OK, then, how long is that? 01:49:59
Whole product is that like 5 miles. 01:50:08
Is it a couple miles? How long is it? 01:50:14
Just three quarters a month from transit to. OK, good to know. Those are my questions. Awesome. Thank you, Daria. Thank you. OK, 01:50:19
any other, any other comments from the public questions? 01:50:25
All right. I guess we'll get into these if one of you guys won't stand for these Rams at all the blocks. So help me remember 01:50:32
these. So I think the first question was ramps it all of the blocks. So one of our major goals was to have accessibility from the 01:50:39
train station all the way down. So we have accessible routes as Sam was saying and as Bronson also indicated where we have each of 01:50:46
the crosswalks, those are accessible areas. So we. 01:50:54
Accessibility is really important. 01:51:02
Second question was have we considered accessibility within the park? So playground code locally, state nationally requires. There 01:51:04
are subtleties between things, but we've considered each of the areas for accessible activities. So whether that's some type of a 01:51:14
transfer or a wheeled access to those park elements, those are all things we have considered and so. 01:51:24
The mulch. 01:51:34
Provides a level of accessibility as well as paths that we're taking to each of these areas. So that's kind of a long, that's kind 01:51:37
of a long winded way of answering the question. 01:51:43
I mean children will be able to get on swings, you know, and be able to have some type of protection. Yeah. And you know, like I 01:51:51
said to us, so you talk you, you talked, you talked about the swings. So there are. 01:51:58
Multiple types of swings and there are multiple types of disability. So some of those swings have a transfer, but there are also 01:52:08
people of certain abilities where you're put into a swing and it has something that that kind of comes around you. So not every 01:52:16
element needs all user abilities, but. 01:52:24
All user abilities have been considered for the children's play area, so that that that sounds like a non answer, but it's 01:52:33
something that we have definitely considered for all of those areas. So wheelchair access is one thing. 01:52:40
So, so we'll so accessibility in general. 01:52:49
Different abilities have been considered, age uses have been considered and then the surfacing has all been kind of considered in 01:52:56
those play areas. 01:53:00
Cool. And then next one was dog parks, right? So we have shown two dog parks. We've shown small dogs, big dogs, because they don't 01:53:05
all get along. 01:53:11
Those dog parks have a fenced area. There's also an unleashing zone, so you come into a gate, you can unleash, open the gate, and 01:53:18
then the dogs can go in. 01:53:23
When you talk about the perimeter buildings, one of the discussions that we've had with Bronson and his team is each of these 01:53:30
different buildings they may or may not have. 01:53:35
Dog facilities associated with them. I actually live in downtown Houston, so in a mid a mid rise building in most of the buildings 01:53:42
that are in my neighborhood when you come outside. 01:53:48
There's just inside of our building. You need to grab a bag or there's a bag on the outside, so that type of thing is being 01:53:57
considered. 01:54:01
I'm not sure what all of the dog rules are, but people will definitely be walking their dogs around all of these areas. 01:54:06
And then there was so another thing. I guess I have a question with a dog. 01:54:15
As well is with the artificial turf areas. 01:54:22
How you keep those clean? Dogs are probably going to poop there and stuff. What are the plans for keeping that clean because with 01:54:27
natural grass? 01:54:31
It goes back to work. I mean, it'll get picked up, but then the remnants kind of go back to where they came. But with artificial 01:54:36
grass, it kind of doesn't do that. So to be addressed on the overall park maintenance under discussion, as Bronson was saying, but 01:54:42
there are accommodations made. 01:54:48
With. With the turf. 01:54:56
And as we get into the final construction documents, we'll definitely have a hose bib potentially even. 01:54:59
Watering so that you can kind of. 01:55:06
Flush, flush, those lawns are those are the artificial turf areas. We say say lots and then she did have a question. It's not 01:55:09
really relevant to this, but I about full build out of residential units. I would defer that to bronze. 01:55:17
DVD we we don't like right adjacent to this we have blocks five and six. Block 5 has 199 units in it. Block 6 is 254. Our next two 01:55:27
buildings will be block 8 and 14 and those are around 250. So those are the the first four buildings that are coming on that are 01:55:36
adjacent to the to the overall but. 01:55:45
Adjacent to the promenade. 01:55:55
Like overall? 01:55:57
We're still working on what those numbers would be, so I don't have an answer yet. Thanks. 01:56:01
Cool. Any other public comments? 01:56:09
I did have a question When we were working on these plans years ago, we did talk about putting in a skate park somewhere. 01:56:12
Yeah, No, I'm glad you brought that up. So I think there's a couple of opportunities. Obviously we haven't shown a skate park in 01:56:22
this promenade, but as we move N up into the Geneva Park area, we've there's two locations up there that we're planning. There's 01:56:29
also a possibility in that space between the Lake Trail and Lakeshore. 01:56:36
We've been in some meetings where that's been discussed to program that area and that could be skate bike park area down there as 01:56:46
well. 01:56:50
And then up to the dog park. 01:56:56
Yeah, Question 2 on buildings five and six that are under construction, there's a dog park associated with building 6. It's a, 01:57:00
it's a grass area just to the South and West of that building. Cool. And then inside those two buildings also there's dog wash 01:57:08
stations. Those are like an amenity that are provided within the for the residents inside the building. Cool. And then I guess 01:57:16
good question you are talking about getting on. 01:57:24
Block 5 or. 01:57:33
On can't remember what numbers they were this year potentially. What's the, what do you think the timeline is for the rest of the, 01:57:36
so we think the duration, how long will it take if we start say October? Yeah, so I guess the timeline for that specific part but 01:57:43
timeline for all of it. 01:57:50
It's all going to be kind of like block 432 and one are all kind of contingent on the buildings that are adjacent to them, more 01:57:58
Block One and two more so because the buildings actually touch the open space. 01:58:06
The Civic Square and the Greenway, there's a street in between, but we really want to know what's happening in those buildings 01:58:14
before we come in and build, not only because of like constructability of like we've got a building under construction. How does 01:58:20
that impact that that space? 01:58:26
We'd rather not build a space and then close it down because we're building next to it, right? If that makes sense, OK. 01:58:33
So if I were to guess right now, we would probably go Block 5 and the bridge or or this package that we're working on right now 01:58:41
and then Block 6 and then Block 4 and then moving toward the the Plaza. But to Morgan's comment earlier like how will we make that 01:58:48
connection to the transit area like as quickly as possible and that's definitely when we, so our first residence will were like 01:58:55
buildings 5:00 and 6:00. 01:59:03
Like a 28 month build. And so we started those last month and so we're we're roughly 2 years away from having residents here. We 01:59:11
want to make sure this park is delivered before then, the community pool is delivered before then and so we'll we'll be back in 01:59:17
with community pool. 01:59:23
And then we we're working through how we make the connection whether temporarily or like permanently to the train station. 01:59:32
OK. From those initial buildings and and this park space, Cool. OK. 01:59:40
Sure you can come up. 01:59:46
It's it's age-old and it's very quick. 01:59:48
Wendy Purrington resident. 01:59:52
Where is the grocery store? 01:59:55
Yeah. 01:59:57
I'm just sitting here looking at it going OK now I know it it was supposed to be somewhere near. 02:00:00
I don't know. I guess Main St. 02:00:04
Do we do we go out from this at all? 02:00:07
So it sits right about here where the arrow is. So Yep. So that's Main Street. And so 800 N is about two blocks away from here. So 02:00:11
you come off of 800 N to one block, and then it's on the block to the left. There's a newly paved road, right? Yep. 02:00:21
And we are working really hard on getting that to this stage where we could come and talk to you about it. 02:00:33
Yes, I'm glad you did. I was expecting it and I was like, yeah, has it come up yet? 02:00:41
Cool. Any other questions? 02:00:48
All right. 02:00:51
So do I have a motion on this and before making a motion I would like somebody to add? 02:00:54
A few conditions that I need to. There's a big list of conditions that I saw. Can you stop sharing on that? 02:01:03
Yes, OK. 02:01:13
I have one, yeah. 02:01:17
Thank you. 02:01:22
Sorry, didn't take me a second to get there. 02:01:24
As he's working on that all, just suggesting to the City Council that there's more shade I think would be. 02:01:27
And this would be a site plan approval. 02:01:35
Oh, so this doesn't go to the City Council? This is all on you, right? 02:01:38
Alright, it should be pulling up here in a second. 02:01:48
How do we make a condition? 02:01:55
So yeah, we do have Rachel should in this presentation has listed out the conditions we've met right before this meeting with the 02:01:57
tree committee, another condition you wanna add to the list. We can type that out right here in this meeting. 02:02:03
And then? 02:02:10
You guys can include them as one big. 02:02:11
Workout. 02:02:15
Yeah, sorry, it's. 02:02:18
Maybe frozen? 02:02:21
I will try this. 02:02:26
Rachel, is this also in the staff report? 02:02:53
The condition no, there were a few added. Hopefully I can get it to pull up. 02:02:56
There we go. 02:03:04
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 02:03:05
Yeah. OK. So I'll just read through these and let me know if you have any questions. 02:03:14
So a waste planning is created by working with city staff. 02:03:22
All trees will be a minimum of 2 inch caliper at the time of franting and maintain a minimum clearance of eight feet within all 02:03:25
site triangles. Building permits are submitted for each page for each phase in the project and includes all building and structure 02:03:32
elements located within the proposed phase. 02:03:38
Plans are updated to the 2021 agency when submitted for a building permit, A geotechnical report is submitted. Prior to obtaining 02:03:45
a building permit. The applicant makes any red line corrections and the applicant is subject to all federal, state and local laws. 02:03:52
And then the ones on the right are from the Tree Committee, which we met with them today just before this meeting. 02:03:59
The irrigation plan should include dedicated lines to the trees to ensure that water and trees is prioritized. 02:04:08
Teresa of proper root system including zone and soil type approved by the City Arborist approving period for trees and plants 02:04:15
needs to be conducted with the City Arborist prior to planting all plantings to have an establishment period of two years before 02:04:22
the obligation by the developers met. If they're planting fails, the establishment period resets. All trees and plantings that 02:04:29
delineate from the Vineyard Landscape Manual shall be approved by the City Engineer or his design. 02:04:36
If we want to add anything to that, I can just type it in here. Do you guys have any questions about those? 02:04:48
Not knowing about any of those. 02:04:56
Are there are there any outstanding red lines that we? 02:04:59
Are aware of there, OK. 02:05:03
That's just when we throw on all of them, yeah. 02:05:05
But there are no. 02:05:11
Sorry, I'm just looking at the. So based on that I mean what that list I read off, I think several of them are covered there 02:05:17
already. The two that I want to make sure we're in there would be like the. 02:05:23
The UTA timetable. 02:05:30
Table or digital boards, I'm not sure how we would say that Then the shade sales on. 02:05:32
Maybe not all playgrounds, but at least. 02:05:41
One or some so that there's options there, but that's the one that we'll probably need to find here. What are your guys thoughts 02:05:43
on something like that? Because we want to see more shade in the playground area specifically. Yeah, I think like a condition you 02:05:50
could put toward that maybe is something like we work with staff to do a shade analysis and come to a. 02:05:56
Good solution. 02:06:04
As long as the analysis concludes that. 02:06:09
What are your thoughts? Yeah, we could do something like that. And so that it'll provide us with a shade analysis and then 02:06:15
construct whatever their analysis requires. So if it says we want a shade cell here or here, then they're willing to do that as 02:06:21
part of the site plan or they then we might want them to come back to Planning Commission for that to show where these kids will 02:06:27
be. 02:06:33
OK. 02:06:40
Yeah, yeah. I think maybe bringing it back to planning just on the shade. Yeah, just on the shade. 02:06:42
And you guys can work something like that out. I understand once the trees are grown in like that'll be great, but it's just that 02:06:52
first five to 10 years. But I'm worried about. 02:06:57
Any other other things you have written down OK and then the shade sails will be removed. 02:07:05
At a certain time. 02:07:12
No, I it might be that maybe they have to reach some kind of percentage of shade because I don't think a tree would ever cover 02:07:16
like a whole plate area. 02:07:20
But I think, I think you guys, I think we can figure it out with staff and I think we can figure it out. Are you OK with. Yeah. 02:07:26
Yeah, are you OK with the language that I have right there for that condition at the very bottom? 02:07:37
Yeah, yes. 02:07:44
Like that. 02:07:49
Like in that transit Plaza particularly, I don't know if that makes sense, but that is a condition. But I think that's like a key 02:07:50
amenity to having people waiting for their training or bus and to include like the times or to like you just like. 02:07:59
The timing table for the transit options. 02:08:09
Being publicly displayed, do you want that just like at that transit Plaza or I would say so? 02:08:15
Is that something Bronson? 02:08:22
We could say they could work. The applicant will work at the ETA to provide adequate timetable because it does. That information 02:08:24
comes from UTA and we've requested that there's a conduit sent from the platform down the promenade. And so I think something like 02:08:30
that will work with UTA to work on like. 02:08:37
You're planning on that anyway, like my when my ears perk up, like that's a really neat feature. I don't want it to be like, I 02:08:44
hope we get that. That's a really neat feature. Let's make sure we get that. So that's where my head's out. And it may not be 02:08:50
something that's only in the promenade, It may be on some of our side streets and other areas through the downtown. But that's an 02:08:56
important part we think of notification of when the train's going to arrive. And I guess question for staff is, can we tie that 02:09:02
into more places in the city? 02:09:08
So that it's not just in the downtown bird, but you could see it, I don't know, somewhere else in the city like that would be cool 02:09:15
to take it down like the rail Trail, like down to Center St. 02:09:19
That would be cool. So that is being considered in the entire wayfinding master plan. That's gonna happen. So cool. Yeah. We just 02:09:25
want the city to be such that you can still know that you're going eastbound or north or southbound, even if you're not really at 02:09:34
the platform, You know it's about 9 minutes away from coming, so you can make your way there. So we just want it to be such that. 02:09:43
At least you can have 15 minutes away from the train station, enough notice to get to the Front Runner station. I feel like one of 02:09:53
the biggest reasons people don't use public transit is they don't know when the schedule is and they don't want to look it up 02:10:00
because the website is terrible. That has been noted and we will be working with them as we get closer to it. My own personal 02:10:08
observation of using Front Runner, the their times are not always accurate, but in in the discussions we had with UTA. 02:10:15
I think they're working on like an app that would give you the real actual location of the train and it's an estimated time at the 02:10:23
platform. And so while this idea of doing this tickerboard or something somewhere in the promenade, it may get outdated and it may 02:10:29
go to an app and maybe there's on the way finding. There's a QR code that you scan to get the app that shows you where the train 02:10:35
is or something like that. 02:10:41
Using their public transit, I'm I'm looking for those lit up awards because I'm like how long is it and I don't need their app. 02:10:47
Yeah, part of the problem is that that. 02:10:55
Like, this isn't a hesitation to move forward with this idea, but it is inaccurate even on the platform. And you're there, 02:10:58
waiting, and you're like, it says it. It was supposed to be here, and now we're like 5 minutes past. Where is it? That's 02:11:03
definitely true in Utah. 02:11:08
There I have found that their appetites. 02:11:14
Are more accurate. 02:11:18
Even now, that's still off because they don't update frequently enough, but they're better than any other. Yeah, at the very least 02:11:21
you're going to show up there on time. You're not going to miss the train. It could be a little bit early. 02:11:28
And you know, once they hopefully they move into a 15 minute increment and it'll, you know, hopefully the the train arrives into 02:11:38
parts at the same time. 02:11:43
More regularly because it's more frequent. 02:11:49
So. 02:11:52
Some of these considerations may get outdated before we can actually get them built. But yeah, yeah, that's the people who are 02:11:53
early. They can just go to the retail spaces right in front of it. Exactly. OK. 02:11:59
Don't Do I have a motion then? 02:12:06
All the conditions are updated. 02:12:12
You can just stay with the conditions as presented. We'll have this available. OK, I move to approve the site plan as requested by 02:12:17
Bronson Flagborough as presented with the proposed conditions listed by staff on the presentation slide. 02:12:26
I'll second that. Thanks, Anthony. Is this broken? This isn't Rocco. 02:12:38
OK. All in favor. Aye. All right. Thank you, guys. Thank you. 02:12:43
Cool. 02:12:49
Any Commission member reports or expected discussion and disclosure? 02:12:52
Done for me? No. 02:12:57
So when I was in San Diego, I did a lot of walking. 02:13:01
And I just. 02:13:06
What we're seeing in our downtown would mitigate a lot of the the issues I saw in theirs, which has better public transportation 02:13:08
getting from point A to point B. 02:13:14
Our train station is going to have. 02:13:23
Like. 02:13:28
Commercial around it and on the other side is the school that's going to mitigate a lot of the houselessness issues that they have 02:13:31
at theirs. 02:13:35
I mean, hopefully we have something in mind for them that would be nice. And then the. 02:13:40
Just the floor and funnel that we're planning. 02:13:48
Seattle, I mean, sounds gorgeous, too. San Diego is beautiful and just naturally really nice. But they don't. They don't have the 02:13:53
thoroughfare that we're planning, and you guys are really going to add a whole lot with all these pants, and I appreciate that. 02:14:01
And that's about it. I oh, do you remember that that training video we did a few weeks ago and they like had the big gravel area 02:14:11
with all the chairs and the tables and people like move their stuff around. I swear I saw the same spot. 02:14:19
Anyway, I just, I was nerding out. My boyfriend was like, OK, I knew you left this, but OK, that was like 5 months ago wasn't it? 02:14:29
I was like it stuck guys. 02:14:34
Anything from staff before you ask, I don't have an update on a mailbox yet. It's on my list of things I need to get done. But 02:14:42
USPS is kind of disheartening, yeah? And their lack of responsiveness. 02:14:49
Other things before Morgan, he had to step out. He did want me to mention that it is Rachel's last Planning Commission with us. 02:14:59
She'll be continuing employment with Vineyard, but it'll be remote. 02:15:05
She's going to be moving to Las Vegas and he wanted me to thank her for all the work she's done so far. It's not a good buy or 02:15:11
anything, but we'll be seeing her a lot less and she's done an excellent job. She did, you know, this whole week, this Promenade 02:15:17
site plan review and the phenomenal job with that. So we just wanted to thank her for her work and excited to see what she can do 02:15:23
remotely. You have been awesome. We are going to miss you. I'll miss you guys. I'll miss seeing living here and seeing all the 02:15:29
progress. 02:15:34
I plan to be back. 02:15:41
The other thing is we wanted to mention that if you guys want to go to the APA conference in Ogden, UT at the end of September, 02:15:44
just let us know and there is a possibility of us getting you a hotel room. That's all. 02:15:50
One other thing is going forward what will happen is the city is is in the process of hiring a deputy reporter and that deputy 02:15:58
reporter will kind of control the screen and everything for this meeting going forward. That'll probably happen in a few months. 02:16:06
So for now it'll be just anti filling in up there. Yeah, that's I think what we have in the same. 02:16:13
He always has something. 02:16:22
OK. That's it from staff. Cool. Great. Thank you. And if there's nothing else? 02:16:26
Meeting adjourned. 02:16:32
20 8. 02:16:35
Thursday, Friday and then Friday, Yeah, there's. 02:16:42

I. 00:00:00
Think. 00:00:05
Yeah. 00:00:46
No, I don't. 00:01:00
Yeah. 00:02:03
Chair, we're ready. 00:02:09
I don't know. 00:02:11
Welcome, everybody. Today is August 2nd. It is. This is the Vineyard Planning Commission meeting. It is 6:01 PM and we will start 00:02:24
off with an invocation and Pledge of Allegiance by Anthony Jenkins. We'll do that pledge first. Thank you. 00:02:31
I pleasantly of the United States of America. 00:02:41
For which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:02:47
Our Father in Heaven, we're thankful for the opportunity to gather together as a Planning Commission and as staff and residents. 00:02:59
Tonight we pray for guidance to treat these topics with the importance that they deserve and that we can. 00:03:07
Be open and understanding and that we can make decisions that will help move the city forward. And we pray for these things. In 00:03:16
the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. 00:03:21
Alright. Thank you, Anthony. 00:03:25
All right. We'll move right into an open session. This is a time for any public comments, for something that's not on the agenda. 00:03:28
So if you have any public comments, please come up, state your name, you have 3 minutes, and if you have any questions, I'll write 00:03:32
them down. And yeah, we'll go from there. 00:03:37
Good evening. Thank you. My name is Daria Evans. Is it on? 00:03:46
Can you hear me? 00:03:53
Yeah. OK. Daria Evans, Vineyard resident. Thank you. I just. 00:03:54
I was riding my bike this morning and I'm getting a little scared riding it on Main on Center Street. So I was riding on the 00:04:01
sidewalk in front of the the farm plot and you know how you go into the street to get to that crosswalk? I was there at the 00:04:08
crosswalk waiting to cross. A gentleman stopped his truck. I was turning my bike, getting in to go, and the left lane flew right 00:04:16
past me. 00:04:23
And there was another truck behind who stopped. So I am asking if we might be able to get some flashing lights there. And also 00:04:31
when the mid block comes at the Loop Rd. if we can get some flashing lights at that one it's getting. I'm riding on the sidewalks 00:04:37
now. 00:04:43
It's getting scary, but I love to ride my bike, so I just want to address that. And also, I'm curious, will there be a public 00:04:50
hearing for the Lake Promenade site that they're talking about tonight? 00:04:57
Like, I don't know. 00:05:06
Because I have some questions about those amenities. 00:05:09
Yeah. And when we talked about the site plan application for the Lake Promenade, I'll open it up if you have some questions. OK. 00:05:14
Thank you. Yeah, that's not an official public hearing, but the chair can open up for public comment. OK. Thank you very much. 00:05:22
Just as well, I just wanted to echo your same concerns on crossing anytime there's a multi lane Rd. in this case a four or five 00:05:31
lane Rd. I even tell my kids this like if someone stops and waves you on like it's still scary because you don't know if the other 00:05:38
lane is going to stop, right. So that is that is a challenge there for sure and I think anything we can do to make that safe as 00:05:46
soon as possible. I mean it it's a it's an improvement and but it can always be better. 00:05:53
Especially as school starts up. So yeah, I echo the same concern. The scenes got an update I assume on when that's. 00:06:01
So I'm assuming that there were other works director, excuse me. So the flashing lights, they're called RFPs for the Rectangular 00:06:09
Rapid Flashing Beacons. No different than the Hawks. The Hawks are the high intensity lights that go easy overhead. They've been 00:06:15
ordered with a company. 00:06:20
They'll also include we've discussed they'll also include integrated St. lighting as well, because it shows up not just not just a 00:06:28
plastic light, but illuminating the whole area. 00:06:35
Especially at night, drastically increases driver awareness and safety as well. So we've worked with the company and our 00:06:42
contractor to get those things ordered and have them installed. We expect to get all these things installed shortly before around. 00:06:51
This school time, in regards to, excuse me, in regards to Main Street and Vineyard Loop Rd. also 600 N right by Penny Springs 00:07:02
Park, we submitted those designs to a contractor in terms of constructing a. 00:07:09
Protected Protestant refuge very similar to what was on Sarah St. 00:07:18
Also to utilize the same type of principle as well. And then we're also providing that same design to another contractor for 00:07:26
pricing, so we can get that implemented. We don't testify that to be done before the school year, but and that's also our 00:07:32
transportation master plan consultant. 00:07:38
We're discussing with them in terms of. 00:07:46
Excuse me. Adding adding that type of feature to ensure that those things are being integrated into our transportation Master plan 00:07:49
as well. So any domino effects after those things are placed in are being considered. So we're not creating a unsafe situation for 00:07:57
cars and pedestrians together. Great. Thanks, Missy. 00:08:04
Any other public comments? 00:08:14
All right, seeing as there are none, we'll move right into the business items, into 3.1, the zoning text amendment for 15 point, 00:08:16
12.060, the dimensional standards table. 00:08:21
All right. So yeah, we'll just do a quick refresher. This was an item that was on Planning Commission two weeks ago. It was 00:08:29
continued with some requests to see some view sheds of this area and the applicant is here and they have provided that. So I have 00:08:36
that. Further on this, just as a quick refresher, this is the applicant initiated zoning text amendment to increase the building 00:08:42
height in the RMU from 60 to 70 feet. 00:08:48
There are currently the in yellow. Those are the only two undeveloped parcels in in this area. 00:08:56
And however, this would also apply for any future redevelopment. 00:09:02
So there's the zoning text change. 00:09:07
OK, so if the applicant if you want to go up and you can maybe explain some of these. 00:09:11
Images, yeah, to help everybody understand. So they, they went out with some balloons, some at 60 and some at 70 feet in the air 00:09:17
to kind of show you the difference. And so that's going to be on the next few slides. I have those images. If you wanna maybe 00:09:25
explain this one a little more in detail, that would be great. Matt Brown with MW Brown Engineering. Basically what I did was try 00:09:32
to give a representation of if somebody was standing at the sidewalk at these three locations. 00:09:40
Three is in front of the Planning building, the HOA building or the Homeowners Association Building to Center St. and then the 00:09:48
apartments. One is the apartments to the north. 00:09:54
I just made a simple analysis saying that everything was flat and in the diagrams you can sort of see the the angles. 00:10:01
One is that 60 feet, the other is at the sight line at 70 feet. Could you also point out on this map where you put those balloons, 00:10:11
so as I show those the middle building in the middle building? 00:10:17
So basically, you know, attempts about a little over 11,000 feet in elevation. We're at 45150 at this location. The first two 00:10:26
sections you'd have temp would have to be 13,000. The middle section that it'd have to be a 13th over 13,000 feet to even see it 00:10:34
over the top of the building at 60 feet. 00:10:42
So that's the only one is Section 3 that you can see if it was constructed at 70 feet, so. 00:10:51
The developer went took some pictures of some balloons, sort of showing, you know what what it would look like from the different 00:11:05
standpoint and. 00:11:09
You know, the top balloon, 70 top yellow and 60 top green is 70. And this looks like it's taken from the planning building there. 00:11:14
Yeah, it's in front of the planning building. 00:11:21
That's it. I think it's Center St. there. 00:11:32
I think the wind was blowing a little bit on that one. 00:11:36
So, so you know, as you can see I mean. 00:11:40
The There's not really much difference between 60 and 70 feet. 00:11:44
The view to the east depending on where you're at is going to be blocked. You know there will be corridors through the design but 00:11:50
you know as you as a further develops to the to the South, you know you'll have actually buildings closer to the street at that 00:11:57
location. This is just a video driving up up the Rd. Mill Rd. there sort of show that you know as you're driving and and the 00:12:05
different videos. 00:12:12
You know, you basically don't see the mountains just because of the structures that have already been. 00:12:20
Constructed in your zoning ordinance, you know, the idea is to to build this corridor down there that you know, gets the 00:12:26
businesses that as close to the street as possible. So it seems like you know the height restriction. 00:12:33
You know, it's a little bit contradictory to it because it's if you move the buildings closer, your view is even more. 00:12:40
Obscured. You know if you get on the other side of the tracks, you know the existing structures. Apartments are most likely even 00:12:48
in a. You won't even probably see the tops of these, the 70 foot building from over at the ball diamonds you know on this side of 00:12:55
the tracks because of the existing structures that are there. So. 00:13:02
Cool. Do you guys have any questions for him? 00:13:10
Thank you for providing. Yeah, thank you so much. 00:13:14
No questions for you. I do have questions for staff on some of the language. So cash you mentioned that. 00:13:19
As proposed, this would also apply to any redevelopment. However, it looks to me like there's that green text on the page about 00:13:26
additional standards and there's #8 that's added that says a building height not exceeding 70 feet measured from top of back curve 00:13:32
to the highest point of the building or structure may be permitted. This height allowance will be limited to lots one and two of 00:13:39
the Mill Rd. East subdivision flat B. So, and this is what I was kind of hoping for, where we could narrow the location so that it 00:13:45
wasn't just. 00:13:52
An entire rezone for the whole RMU? Can you help clarify? 00:13:58
What exactly is being proposed here? Because the way I'm reading this is that it would not necessarily go into effect for all 00:14:05
future redevelopment. Let me pull that up for real quick. 00:14:09
And then it would be isolated to just these. 00:14:15
That Plan B? Lots one and two. 00:14:18
And while he's pulling it up, that was my primary concern last time is. 00:14:36
It's just a public base map, Maybe we could highlight. 00:15:17
Yeah, I mean this right here shows it like. 00:15:20
MMM. 00:15:25
Is there a reason why we would want it on one and two instead of just one? 00:15:29
That that would be up to the the Planning Commission the the applicant has requested that that we not limit it to further on that 00:15:34
side, but that would be to to that property itself. 00:15:41
So there was some discussion about limiting it to limit limiting it to just commercial buildings, the height allowance. 00:15:50
And so that that's a conversation you to have, you know tonight if you, if you want to further restrict it right now it restricts 00:15:58
it to those two parcels if you click on those or you just kind of use your cursor to show that one and the one right below. And 00:16:03
for reference which one is lot 1 to the north, North lot? 00:16:09
I believe studying in political county map, yeah. 00:16:15
How far from the residential units are these buildings set back? 00:16:29
Because we're looking at multi story buildings, looking into people's houses and I take huge issue with this. Yeah, we we can pull 00:16:35
a dimension line. So the ones that I mean across the street, I mean you have a really healthy distance. So the Mill Rd. is, is 00:16:42
very wide and so there's quite a bit but if you're talking about two the edge homes, yeah then that that'll be a little closer. 00:16:50
You still do have some distance because you have a portion of the parking lot. 00:16:57
So there is just some buffer that's just kind of you know, built into into baking the cake, you know, having the, the parking lots 00:17:05
and the landscaping kind of kind of pushed back. But we we can pull some dimension lines for you. So you want to give me a minute, 00:17:11
I can do that piece. Yeah. And this gives you an idea of the building location. No site plan has been approved yet for this. And 00:17:17
so this is preliminary. This is what they would like to do in that Northern lot. So you do have. Yeah, I don't Morgan can put the 00:17:23
statistics here. 00:17:29
To show what they are proposing in the in a future site plan application. 00:17:36
About 80 feet is what they're saying would be the distance between the property line and that the building too. 00:17:41
So sorry, so you're saying 80 feet to the property line? 00:17:57
So the property line, OK. And I can give you the number from the property line to the existing channels about 25 feet. Yeah, those 00:18:00
are really tall buildings, incredibly close to front doors. I. 00:18:06
That's a huge problem for me. From what I'm measuring is 28 and it looks like there's a pop out that comes a little bit closer. 00:18:13
I'm on. 00:18:17
So 28 looks like an average. 00:18:23
And then you have 25 feet, so 2528 the the the building faces undulate back and forth. 00:18:26
So that would be, you know, over 100 feet. 00:18:34
We don't have to open up a public hearing. 00:18:37
You guys want to come up to the microphone? You can. 00:18:50
So just so that. 00:18:56
You know, you understand the basis of wanting to go higher. 00:18:58
We're we're wanting to have a higher floor to ceiling space in the SO. 00:19:03
Whether you're at 60 feet or 70 feet, the extra 10 feet up above is more for the mechanical and the roof structure and that up 00:19:11
there. So the window elevations are going to be within probably a few feet of each other, whether it's at 60 feet or 70 feet. So 00:19:18
and that those are those three, the two buildings there, those are the ends of the building. So you know most of the windows are 00:19:26
east, West and not looking towards the north, yeah. 00:19:33
And as far as like setbacks and stuff, it's already it's owned how it is like, so whether or not the buildings go in, that's not 00:19:41
in our control right now. So yeah. 00:19:47
So as far as as far as one and two, do you guys have more commercial space plan for lot 1, which is the southernmost lot or is 00:19:56
there a reason why you're wanting to do both, just open up your options or what's the thinking well to keep to keep our options 00:20:03
open, I mean they they may want to put more office buildings back there, but the plan is to put more of a commercial component 00:20:10
down there and something that. 00:20:17
Parkings, you know, would be the issue when we get down to that site and so you end up with a parking structure. 00:20:25
But there's a definite need, I think you need in the city, and I need it around here to get some good Class A office space, which 00:20:32
is what we're trying to bring in on this parcel. The extra floor space is what, you know, the bigger companies are looking for. 00:20:38
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, height, ceiling heights, not building heights. Yeah, I understand that for sure. OK. Did you guys 00:20:45
have any other questions for him? 00:20:52
Or for staff though. 00:20:59
Not like it really matters because the army zone is full with residential, but I think potentially limiting this to 70 feet 00:21:03
maximum for commercial buildings. 00:21:09
Can we change that wording? Is that? 00:21:16
Yeah. If that's a recommendation, then we would pour that to the City Council. And then so you could do that as part of your 00:21:18
motion and then they they they could debate it at the City Council. Yeah, OK. 00:21:24
If there are any questions, does anybody have a motion? 00:21:31
Anymore you said you had some concerns. 00:21:35
I see it all my concerns. I have no control over any of it. 00:21:40
Yeah, so. 00:21:49
You know from a Planning Commission side you're providing the recommendations City Council. So if if if you there are concerns you 00:21:51
can you can put those in your your your motion. 00:21:56
They're also welcome to to to to request you know more information if you'd like. So I mean it's it's it's up to you. But we do 00:22:03
need to as this is our second meeting we we need to kind of start taking steps forward. So if there's like a a view line that 00:22:09
you're concerned about from the North side, you can you you could request. 00:22:16
That they provide you know a view perspective from you know the the townhomes on the on the north. You know you could just request 00:22:23
that they you know that that that is a concern that they consider. 00:22:29
I mean, a lot of it's just they're they're gonna be windows in this office space, and there are people's private residences right 00:22:38
there that people they don't know will be able to look right into. And what if they want to have their windows open like that, but 00:22:44
then they risk their privacy being invaded so succinctly by a commercial building? 00:22:50
This is all I'm just generally upset by it. And then we want to make it bigger. Like I'm going to, I'm going to hear from a lot of 00:22:58
people about this and. 00:23:03
I. 00:23:10
Don't know what else I can say. 00:23:12
But I was honestly hoping that this is for the northernmost parcel because I would have been like, yeah, two thumbs up sounds 00:23:15
great. 00:23:18
Because it's away from residents, it's not. 00:23:23
Right where people are going to be walking and playing and ripping, yeah. 00:23:27
But here we are. 00:23:32
And you know, you brought up a good point too, where I think you acknowledge that how it's currently zoned. 00:23:36
Has did consider, but I I do I do understand your your your concerns. So it just brings back to a neighborhood they lived by an 00:24:14
American fork and it was unfortunately next to the hospital property and they felt this size of a building about 60 feet, 70 feet 00:24:21
from the property lines. But you that's all you can see. 00:24:29
You go in the neighborhood. That's all you can see. 00:24:38
And that was deeply upsetting to everybody. 00:24:41
Around the whole hospital complex but like. 00:24:44
There was not a whole lot of. 00:24:49
Things we could do about it, right? 00:24:51
The one thing I Polish abuse is is an office building. So nowadays we can. 00:24:58
5 Apologies Now you'll have to. You can even talk into this one if you want, but we don't. We don't get anything on the recording. 00:25:04
It's not. 00:25:07
I. 00:25:12
I was saying that being the proposed use that we're bringing in is an office building. So the hours of operation are are more in 00:25:16
line with the hours that the residents there are going to work, going to school during the holidays, weekends. You know there 00:25:25
won't be many people in these buildings. And so that's actually a benefit for the type of use that we're proposing there. 00:25:34
But then also this uses granted. 00:25:44
I mean when the zone was created, these are the things that the city wanted in this parcel and put in. So the city previously made 00:25:48
the decision to put these type of uses next to to the townhomes there. So if you go back far enough, we wanted businesses with 00:25:56
residents on top. But again, here we are and I can work for them. 00:26:05
Yeah, I know. 00:26:16
I am voice my displeasure, but I I know this is before my time and I can be angry about it. 00:26:17
No, that's fine. We we definitely respect your your opinion and however however you guys want to to to move forward. It is up to 00:26:27
you. I think what we're looking for tonight is if we can I mean you're you're able to to continue if you want to. I'd be very 00:26:36
specific if you want something to if you want like a diagram or something but you know we would recommend that you move it forward 00:26:44
to the City Council and you can have them you know consider specific aspects of the project if if you are what worried about it. 00:26:52
So it's it's up to you however you want to make a motion. Thanks every motion. 00:27:00
Yeah, I'm comfortable making a motion and I hope everyone feels comfortable voting for or against it. 00:27:07
Wherever they stand. So I moved to recommend approval of Ordinance 2023-26 with the following conditions that it's limited to just 00:27:14
commercial space, and only on lots one and two of Plat B, nowhere else in the RMU. 00:27:23
Do I have a second? 00:27:33
So we'll we'll need a second on the motion guys. 00:27:39
All right, great. Then So this is roll call, right? Yeah, you'll have to do a roll call. 00:27:42
Commercial handoff, yeah. So office would to clarify office countless commercial, right. So it's basically can I say non 00:27:50
residential, would that be right as a clarifier you feel comfortable with that? Yeah, I know that there are some people that 00:27:57
wanted to make public comment as well, but I know we closed the public hearing last time so, so technically we did close the 00:28:04
public hearing with the in the last meeting. 00:28:11
I'll allow some public comments for some questions and stuff if you want to make them brief. I assume, Daria, that you have some. 00:28:19
We now we do need AI, don't know if someone seconded. If we did have a second, do we need to? OK, you do have a second. Typically 00:28:26
that's done before, but if you want I'd make it pretty brief cuz you do wanna once you make a motion you wanna make a decision on 00:28:32
it, so. 00:28:38
You could have people coming. OK, if you can make it real quick. Thanks. 00:28:46
I just, oh, Daria Evans. 00:28:52
I just have one question about how you're going to enter those buildings from the road, what roads, where are the entrances going 00:28:54
to be? So, so with all that, that's going to be in the site plans when they come with site plans and we'll talk about all those 00:29:00
details. OK. Thank you very much. 00:29:05
OK. 00:29:13
So we have a motion, Anthony, with a motion Did you want, did you want to? 00:29:14
That amendment. Yeah, as proposed by staff. And we have a second by Graydon and this is roll call, Anthony. Hi, Bryce. I Tay. No 00:29:20
Graydon. All right. And that passes. Yes. That passes 3 to 1. So it'll go to City Council. OK, great. Thank you guys for bringing 00:29:27
the like site, site using stuff that was very helpful. I want the businesses. 00:29:34
I just gotta make a point to City Council here. Yeah, thanks. All right, moving to 3.2, the site plan application for Lake 00:29:42
Promenade. 00:29:47
Yeah. 00:29:54
On this next item, we have Rachel who will provide a presentation and then the applicant and representatives from OJB who are the 00:30:13
landscape architectural firm that designed the promenade will will be here to to provide kind of the more in depth analysis of it. 00:30:19
Thanks Great. 00:30:25
Just trying to get it pulled up. 00:30:33
And Bronson, if you have material and stuff you you you can get up there, maybe just let Rachel go through her presentation and 00:30:44
then you guys can connect in so. 00:30:49
Her cast Could we switch? 00:30:58
These. 00:31:01
Yeah, yeah. 00:31:11
That should work. 00:31:24
Cash, can you come look at this? 00:31:48
I don't know. It's not. This has to be solid. 00:31:59
So it's still just living? 00:32:05
Have you used this before in your laptop? Yeah, I have. 00:32:08
If you want his my laptop I can pull the stack for. 00:32:12
OK, I have a presentation. 00:32:16
Where's it saved under the reports? 00:32:20
Yeah, Commission folder. 00:32:23
There we go. OK, so this is an application from Agboro. 00:33:30
They're all here tonight. We have someone from Flagship Woodbury, and they have their landscape architect OG Bay here. This was 00:33:36
something that the Planning Commission looked at a couple years ago for initial feedback. 00:33:43
Yeah. 00:33:53
So they're here tonight. 00:33:58
We have several conditions of approval. You guys can read through these, but we can go through these more at the end after Bronson 00:34:03
completes his presentation. 00:34:08
So I'll just turn over the time to him to go over all the details or whoever is doing the presentation. Yeah. So here I'll I'll 00:34:16
just say something really quick that we were really happy to have OJB here. We were at City Council a couple weeks ago and the 00:34:23
mysterious voice from Zoom was Sam. So we have him here in person. We're excited to have them here with us and really excited 00:34:29
about the project and excited to to get things rolling, so. 00:34:36
Without further ado. 00:34:44
That's still loading. 00:35:09
Where was this minutes ago? 00:35:19
A couple hours ago. 00:35:22
Need anybody on the same heritage with JB? 00:35:29
So as Marshall mentioned, I'm going to take a few minutes. I'm just going to walk through from a high level kind of the current 00:35:33
design and as well as some of the elements within the park design and Promenade design, so. 00:35:39
So is Rachel highlighted? The problem itself is broken into six blocks. It's highlighted on the diagram above, starting with the 00:35:48
transportation and running east to West towards the lake in the lakefront. Each block is unique in character. 00:35:55
Intent to We'll go through some of the design behind each of those. 00:36:03
Here's the size of each one. 00:36:11
Block one on the east, it's called the Transit Plaza. Just under 2 acres 1.7, two in size. Market Square streetscape is just an 00:36:13
acre in length and size. Pacific Square Lot 3 just under an acre as well. The Greenway, a little bit larger. Block 4, just over 2 00:36:20
1/2 acres. 00:36:26
Block 5 is the the largest of the Six Blocks Civic Park, just under 5 acres. 00:36:34
Inclusive sub elements, including a community pool which would be something each pack. 00:36:43
Block 6, The waterfront park just over 4 and a quarter acres adjacent to. 00:36:49
So what I want to do is just walk through each block, talk about the design tent, as well as kind of talk about some of the 00:36:58
programmatic elements. 00:37:01
So is there, this is the transit Plaza part, block 1 dividing kind of direct connection to the transportation itself that's 00:37:05
currently there. It will be a little bit more urbane in character with buildings on either side both North and South. Part of the 00:37:14
idea is to bring pedestrians through the space so you can see the flowing meandering pathway network carved out by planting 00:37:22
elements of the kiosks, potential water feature there, lawn areas and a plane of opportunities for CD and variety of uses. 00:37:30
We've highlighted certain locations that we think that would be viable for furniture layout. They're highlighted kind of the Navy 00:37:39
blue color. And then we've also kind of highlighted potential locations where we think waste receptacles management opportunities 00:37:44
for the spaces. 00:37:49
Sam, while we're on this block, can we talk a little bit? This was brought up in kind of previous meetings. 00:37:55
About when you get off the train station, you're walking W you have essentially like that building right there. So I mean I think 00:38:00
the concern was creating kind of that sense of of arrival whereas like just because it's kind of a weird offset you're, it's not 00:38:06
like you're arriving in the Plaza, you have to walk over to it. Yeah. Can you kind of explain maybe how you maintain kind of that 00:38:12
sense of arrival? 00:38:18
With that, I don't know just kind of how how that environment is as you first come off before you you reach out. 00:38:25
And if you could even with the cursor maybe on that previous one just show like sure where where are they getting off the train. I 00:39:16
know there's there's a South and a N exit of. So right now on the Instagram we're just showing the Northern, but coming off there 00:39:21
would be a platform and then there's a pedestrian pathway that kind of runs NS parallel and then you would basically come off and 00:39:27
you would walk N open to the space. 00:39:33
You mentioned kiosks. What type of kiosks did you have in mind? 00:39:40
And so we'll have a few more slides. Right now, it's a trellis, an overhead structure, movable seating underneath. And then 00:39:44
there's also potential for a future restaurant or a restaurant or food and beverage element, which is the highest #30 there, so. 00:39:52
So just out of curiosity, what are the plans for that building where you step off the station and have that building right there? 00:40:00
What what are? 00:40:04
Your hopes for I mean, yeah. 00:40:08
Into the mic more so. We haven't designed that building yet, but. 00:40:13
It'll be mixed-use. It'll be likely retail along the bottom, possibly residential or office above that. And so part of the idea of 00:40:20
this is we want this Plaza to engage those buildings. So that first story retail, what OJB showing here that #27 and then some of 00:40:27
these like darker shaded areas you're living mouse here. 00:40:35
These are areas where we we are looking to whatever these buildings end up being when they're designed. The idea is that they 00:40:44
would spill out into the Plaza and engage with the Plaza. But we also realize a large function of this Plaza is flow through 00:40:51
people going up to the station from from the downtown area coming up the promenade to the station coming out of the station into 00:40:59
the residences or office spaces. So we we're kind of. 00:41:06
And I love the idea that like where you can actually wait near the train, like right next to the entrance of the train. Is there a 00:41:46
reason why you guys decided to go this direction? No, I think that's still, that's still the idea like this. This corner building 00:41:52
here would have that opportunity almost like a. 00:41:57
You know, like a train station function of people either waiting at the in the lower level of this building, it just hasn't been 00:42:04
designed yet It'll it'll come later, but that's still the idea. The parking structure, the large parking structure is just South 00:42:10
of these kind of three buildings that you're seeing. I was talking to Morgan earlier. We've kind of looked at those. The edge of 00:42:16
that parking structure is like doing some kind of mural. So that would be like this real big. I've arrived at that Utah State a 00:42:21
year. 00:42:27
That, yeah, that that would be awesome. 00:42:34
Utah City Avengers So. 00:42:38
Yet an amenity like this that maybe even had a board inside that says you know northbound 5 minutes, southbound 20 minutes, like 00:43:13
you know I I think that dispute that helped create that that that those amenities especially if we want our residents to take 00:43:20
transit, you know providing kind of just that those extra level of amenities is going to make it a much more like quality 00:43:26
experience. And then I I guess another question I have right there is. 00:43:33
Is this a road? Then right here, that's the regional trail. That's the trail. OK, so there are no roads between. OK, cool. 00:43:41
Perfect. 00:43:45
So just to maybe clarify a couple things, my name is Jared Boss. I work with Sam with OJB. As we look at the greater context of 00:43:50
the area, I know we're looking at the Promenade right now and at the Transit Plaza, one of the things that we have talked about as 00:43:58
we've looked at the architecture and then as we think of the greater team, there are a couple of things that come to mind. One is 00:44:05
we do have the the north-south Path, so that will connect through the Greater Vineyard project. 00:44:12
We are at the North End of the train station here. As we've looked at the architecture for these areas, these lower areas are 00:44:20
anticipated as retail areas. We are also in the process of bringing on a branding, A branding and a wayfinding consultant as well. 00:44:27
So we've talked about ideas of how do we engage people when people are using some of these retail spaces or if they're sitting by 00:44:34
the fountain, how would we, how would we notify them and and. 00:44:41
The train will be here in 5 minutes or something like that, so that there is this procession, there is this pathway. So I think as 00:44:50
we continue to move forward with the architecture, an opportunity on the side of the garage as we see that north-south path begin 00:44:57
to develop, I think we'll start to see plantings, trees, some lighting elements and some of that way finding that takes you 00:45:05
through as a greater idea and we'll show this through the slides. 00:45:12
The the real idea and and this is not an uncommon term as we look in other cities is it's really kind of this court ashore or from 00:45:20
the transit rail connection to to the lakefront. So we're very interested in connecting pedestrians all the way down this 00:45:27
alignment and Bronson Anthony. 00:45:34
Is Anthony Fletcher. 00:45:43
I was gonna say are Anthony, but you're our Anthony as well. Employee Anthony Planner. Anthony, you're a planner too, so this is 00:45:45
gonna be hard. 00:45:48
But Anthony's working on a master wayfinding signage for the city. And so as you work on your wayfinding signage, if we could kind 00:45:54
of marry those two and so if maybe if you have a group that's working on pull, pull, Anthony in all those meetings, so great, 00:46:01
Thank you. I do also just something to point out that I like is having the garage space closer to the transit is a good thing? I 00:46:07
mean it's somebody I know somebody commented previously. 00:46:14
That they wished that for those that have a handicap or something that they were closer and it is a good thing that the parking 00:46:21
dodge is closer and you want you don't want the parking garage to be there and then nothing. So it doesn't make sense. 00:46:27
And like to that point that that structure we anticipate that UTA would have. 00:46:34
A lot of stalls in there and there would be ADA stalls in there. So essentially we are getting those accessible stalls as close as 00:46:40
possible to the station. Perfect. Cool. 00:46:45
Just going to go through a few renderings, then we'll go to block 2. 00:46:56
Some imagery of what the water feature could be. 00:47:01
Block 2, Market Square. So as you head east from the transit Plaza towards the lake, the idea here is it once again, it's kind of 00:47:08
a continuation of a flow as you're heading through the open space, very much kind of a retail oriented space with walkways, lots 00:47:15
of seating. Part of the idea is to kind of work with the tree layout and have some potentially some sort of overhead element that 00:47:23
kind of sets the tone and the character space pedestrianize the scale of it. 00:47:30
Once again, the idea is also to carry through kind of the paving materiality to start to kind of link these spaces together. So 00:47:38
here's a few views of ideas of what the space could feel like. 00:47:43
And then moving to Block 3 Civic Square. 00:47:50
So it's where the space starts to open up. Starting on the eastern side, there's this opportunity for kind of an art element or 00:47:53
some sort of kind of visual kind of terminus as you're coming in into the promenade area that is almost that moment, right? A 00:47:58
visual moment as you're coming through. And what the idea is, it would open up to green space in the center, pedestrian circuit 00:48:03
circulation around the perimeter. And as you head to the West, it opens up to another Plaza space that starts to kind of marry up 00:48:09
to the streetscape. 00:48:14
In this rectangle, that's already, that's what you see has already occurred, yeah? 00:48:22
So driving into the downtown, this is the first feature you hit. Yeah. So when you when you cross on Main Street, you cross 800 N 00:48:31
This is 2 blocks up from 800 N. 00:48:36
So be looking east. 00:48:48
And you'll you'll see too. In here we have this, this. 00:48:53
Artwork you see in here, it's just placeholder stuff. This is not actually what's commissioned to go in. These are just. 00:48:56
A representation of some kind of sculpture or artwork that would be going in there. 00:49:04
With shade trees spread throughout, maybe some low slungs, you know, Charlotte. Additional trail structures where you can sit 00:50:14
