| Interesting. | 00:00:01 | |
| OK, welcome everybody to Planning Commission we. | 00:00:05 | |
| Start with Chris. | 00:00:09 | |
| OK. | 00:00:14 | |
| Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, | 00:00:20 | |
| indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:25 | |
| Our Father in Heaven, we are very grateful that we can be gathered here today, today, as a Planning Commission of Vineyard City. | 00:00:38 | |
| Please bless that. | 00:00:46 | |
| Discuss the matters before us on the agenda, that we can be mindful of the rights of those that we serve, and that we can be | 00:00:48 | |
| mindful of the laws of this State, the Constitution of the State, and the Constitution of the United States. | 00:00:54 | |
| And that we can do our duties to the best of our abilities, to the service of those in the community. And we say these things, you | 00:00:59 | |
| know, Jesus Christ. Amen. | 00:01:03 | |
| OK. | 00:01:09 | |
| Now we have an open session for members of the public to comment. | 00:01:12 | |
| Do you have anything to say about something not on the agenda? Now is the time. | 00:01:18 | |
| No, no. OK, cool. | 00:01:25 | |
| So we will move on to. | 00:01:27 | |
| Minutes for review and. | 00:01:30 | |
| If anybody has received the minutes from April 5th, yeah, I had a chance to take a look at those and make a motion that we approve | 00:01:33 | |
| those minutes. OK, do I have? | 00:01:37 | |
| 2nd. | 00:01:43 | |
| OK. All in favor, Aye. | 00:01:44 | |
| Cool. All right. Now we'll move into our business items. We got 4.1, a public hearing. | 00:01:47 | |
| Zoning text Amendment, sign Code amendment. | 00:01:54 | |
| Public hearing I need. | 00:01:59 | |
| We need to move to open that up, right? | 00:02:01 | |
| So you can open up the public hearing now, or you can wait until after the staff presentation, so just whatever. | 00:02:05 | |
| Yeah, that way we can get some information out there if people do have questions about it. | 00:02:13 | |
| All right, sorry. Trying to do a lot of things over here. | 00:02:17 | |
| So my name is Cash Anti city Planner. I'll just be reviewing the sign code, zoning, text amendment. We've done a few work sessions | 00:02:21 | |
| on this already with the Commission, so I'll just kind of review. If you have any questions, feel free to stop me at any time. So | 00:02:27 | |
| this is a summary of what we're doing. | 00:02:33 | |
| We're working on removing the sign standard waiver. The code change would also increase the sign sizes and number allowed on the | 00:02:39 | |
| sign standard table. | 00:02:44 | |
| It creates 2 new additional sign types of promotional and directional sign, as well as wall art and building mural. And then | 00:02:50 | |
| there's minor changes throughout it just regarding definitions and grammar errors. | 00:02:56 | |
| In the history of Vineyard, I don't think a single sign standard waiver has been denied. I don't know if you verify that, but so | 00:03:33 | |
| we we thought that we'd make this process easier. I mean there's been times we've had Planning Commission meetings just to review | 00:03:39 | |
| a sign standard waiver. And so we thought we'd just try to make things easier for for everybody here and remove that altogether. | 00:03:45 | |
| Quick question then it's not necessarily allowing for anything above and beyond what the science standard. | 00:03:52 | |
| What the sign waiver would have done, correct? Yeah. So. So what we did is, is we looked at the maximums of what the sign standard | 00:03:59 | |
| waiver allowed and just put that into the. | 00:04:03 | |
| On the same standard table, there are a few other areas that I'll review as I breakdown that table to show you. | 00:04:08 | |
| But yeah, there's nothing drastic. | 00:04:16 | |
| And as a note, this doesn't really apply to these non residential I guess like the army is residential but the zones listed it | 00:04:19 | |
| doesn't apply to like your single family lots or anything like that. So you won't have like these big tenant multi tenant signs in | 00:04:26 | |
| residential neighborhoods. | 00:04:32 | |
| So these are the changes to the sign standard table. The single tenant monument sign increases the maximum height from six feet to | 00:04:39 | |
| 10 feet. The multi tenant monument sign changes the Max height from 15 to 20 feet. The wall. | 00:04:46 | |
| We changed the Max size from 5% of the elevation to 10% of the elevation. We removed the set back location limit which was it had | 00:04:54 | |
| to be within 80% of its lease lines. | 00:05:00 | |
| We have a lot of applicants that want to put it like right on the corner of their building, which would technically go against the | 00:05:06 | |
| science standard table. | 00:05:09 | |
| It doesn't allow it to pass the roof line, so it can't stick above that. | 00:05:14 | |
| And then it removes the quantity limit total. It used to be a maximum of four wall signs per building and must approve through | 00:05:19 | |
| sign standard waiver. So we just removed that limit and instead the limit is about 10%. So once a building has 10% of its | 00:05:25 | |
| elevation covered in signs, they can't apply for any more time permits. | 00:05:32 | |
| So this is proposing that they could put a sign off right right up to the sidewalk. So that's not for. So Wolf sign has to be on | 00:05:39 | |
| the building. Yep. So the the monument signs still do have a set back. OK do you have that set back? Is it just 18 inches. I can | 00:05:46 | |
| pull up the code to check but I think it was pretty mental. So it was enough just to kind of push it out of where you know is | 00:05:52 | |
| there still language in there about like view corridor or yeah we we have an October we have a yeah we have clear Clearview and | 00:05:59 | |
| you can go. | 00:06:05 | |
| I think up to like 3 feet in a Clearview zone for landscaping, but we don't put structures and that kind of stuff. | 00:06:12 | |
| Yeah, none of those requirements we change because those are things that people couldn't even like if they wanted to make that | 00:06:19 | |
| change through sign center waiver, we wouldn't allow it. The sign standard waiver was very specific and what it allowed for these | 00:06:24 | |
| these signs to do. | 00:06:29 | |
| I'm just scrolling through it to see if there's anything else I missed, but that's it for the the getting rid of the sign standard | 00:06:35 | |
| waiver and and changing the sign standard table. If there's any questions about that I'm I'm happy to review that or we can move | 00:06:40 | |
| on to the next section. | 00:06:45 | |
| OK, so the next session is the creation of a directional and promotional sign. You may have already seen these throughout | 00:06:53 | |
| Vineyard. When a developer buys a new property, they usually throw up these big signs that say, you know, the forge or whatever it | 00:07:01 | |
| may be. Those are currently not allowed in our code and we felt that looking at other cities, just about every city has something | 00:07:08 | |
| that that does allow these. So we thought we should codify it and make a make a process in which developers can apply for this. | 00:07:15 | |
| And it just makes it easier for everybody. And we don't have to deal with, like, code enforcement telling these people they have | 00:07:24 | |
| to tear down these big signs that they put up. | 00:07:27 | |
| So in short, they have a maximum size of 96 square feet, a maximum height of 15. | 00:07:32 | |
| They have to be located within the property that it's advertising with A2 foot set back. | 00:07:38 | |
| They're allowed to have one per frontage, St. frontage with a maximum limit of four. And then there are some more requirements in | 00:07:43 | |
| the code of like the application process. So they will go to the city to to apply for this, and they are given a time limit in | 00:07:48 | |
| which they have to have it gone. I think it's one or two years, it might be one year and they're allowed to apply for a a second | 00:07:54 | |
| year. | 00:07:59 | |
| An extension to that wouldn't need to correct it, it would be all administrative. | 00:08:05 | |
| So the next time we reviewed I believe that the last Planning Commission meeting that's the wall art and building murals. This | 00:08:11 | |
| once again is applied to those non much single family residential zones. They have a maximum size of 30% of each facade and that | 00:08:17 | |
| they're able to increase that through the planning Commission's approval. That's the one change that we did make from the last | 00:08:22 | |
| meeting. | 00:08:27 | |
| It was through a City Council approval, but the Planning Commission felt that they could make that change, wouldn't have to go | 00:08:33 | |
| through the City Council. | 00:08:36 | |
| Maximum height. They can't exceed the height of the building. And then there's a few more requirements in in like the application | 00:08:41 | |
| process in the code. | 00:08:45 | |
| I can pull that up here. | 00:08:49 | |
| I think it's page 13 here. | 00:08:53 | |
| So if they're going to be in the public right of way, they'll be reviewed by the Arts Commission and and they'll have to be | 00:08:57 | |
| approved by the City Council. | 00:09:02 | |
| And then once again we we talked about distinguishing like lettering and logos and stuff. | 00:09:08 | |
| Would that be considered a wall sign of the mural? And this says that any lettering, logos or symbols for advertising purposes | 00:09:14 | |
| shall be considered part of a wall sign. | 00:09:18 | |
| So they couldn't make this giant wall sign and Justice call it a mural. | 00:09:23 | |
| So at night our goal with this would be to not be overly restrictive. And so if it's an Italian restaurant and they have a plate | 00:09:28 | |
| of spaghetti painted on their on their wall, we're we're we're going to allow that but if it's their actual official logo then | 00:09:35 | |
| that that then that's a sign. So then we would we would count that as part of the wall sign. | 00:09:41 | |
| So yeah, that is that is it for this zoning text amendment. Is there anything else that that you want to review, any questions you | 00:09:50 | |
| have for me? | 00:09:55 | |
| Nope. Let me Scroll down to. | 00:10:03 | |
| 01 other thing that we did add in the sign types, we included Neighborhood, Commercial, GRMU and the Downtown Zone because those | 00:10:07 | |
| were not in the Science Center table in the first place. | 00:10:11 | |
| So we included those. | 00:10:16 | |
| Into the bottom section the more non single family home requirements. | 00:10:19 | |
| So yeah, that's that's all I have. | 00:10:28 | |
| OK. Do you guys have anything? | 00:10:35 | |
| No. OK, it feels like this is pretty. | 00:10:39 | |
| But we what we already improve and it'll be nice to not have to keep approving. | 00:10:42 | |
| All right, all right. Would anybody like to move to open this up to, is it public comment now, public hearing? | 00:10:50 | |
| OK. All in favor. | 00:10:57 | |
| OK. Do any members of the community have anything to comment? | 00:11:03 | |
| All right. I move to close the public hearing. OK. Do you have a second? | 00:11:10 | |
| Second, all in favor. | 00:11:14 | |
| All right, so. | 00:11:18 | |
| At this point. | 00:11:19 | |
| So you can discuss further or you can call for a motion. I do have a recommended. | 00:11:22 | |
| Planning Commission options here something you can. | 00:11:31 | |
| If you want to recommend approval, I have that in the wording. I do have one more quick question. I know that one of the areas | 00:11:34 | |
| that this would likely be impacted first is the water tank, correct? So it would be the city that would bring forth. | 00:11:40 | |
| Correct. Yeah. Yep. And So what we're doing right now is this logo of the city would be considered wall sign. I'm just saying you | 00:11:47 | |
| might be. | 00:11:51 | |
| I mean it is also that that water be the first so right, right and and. | 00:11:56 | |
| It's beneficial for us because of how big that water tower is. The water tank is and for the most part the the it's. | 00:12:02 | |
| Yeah, maybe there's a teeny city logo in there somewhere, but the idea is that it's it's going to be art. It's going to be like | 00:12:08 | |
| like a painted thing, so. | 00:12:12 | |
| It'll say come to business. | 00:12:18 | |
| That's all I'm saying is like that's probably the first one that. | 00:12:21 | |
| And so we'll want to make sure that we're not making, it'll be a good test case for this. Yeah. And that's a pretty good question | 00:12:25 | |
| too. So what would happen because there's different like we have with the mixed-use building that Carla and her team are working | 00:12:30 | |
| on in in the yard that's a private building. | 00:12:35 | |
| And so that would go through just the Planning Commission for if they wanted to increase the size, if not then it's just an | 00:12:41 | |
| approval like a sign permit and then a public building would have to go through the ARCH Commission and ultimately get approval | 00:12:46 | |
| from the City Council because they're they basically the owners of that, of that building. And so that that's how we split the two | 00:12:52 | |
| and I think you have a public comment over. | 00:12:57 | |
| I don't know. Yeah, we can. | 00:13:06 | |
| Go ahead. | 00:13:10 | |
| My question was, I saw it was 30% that's allowed, right? And then you have to seek approval. Is there a maximum that's stated at | 00:13:13 | |
| all or is it, is it just based upon? | 00:13:18 | |
| The individual I think I'm this one cash we we just left it so they they could do because the idea was like you'll you'll get | 00:13:24 | |
| those really cool murals and downtown and stuff that yeah we didn't want to make this super. | 00:13:30 | |
| The cap is the full facade, it says. The mural can't extend beyond the building itself. So the the guidance from our our legal | 00:13:39 | |
| counsel was to. | 00:13:43 | |
| You know, from a freedom of speech thing, just this kind of error and that. So if someone wanted to do art, then you know the only | 00:13:49 | |
| thing we would would restrict would be like the the logo or the name of the business. | 00:13:54 | |
| Yep, another question because just because I always like to think like what could possibly. Yeah, absolutely. | 00:14:01 | |
| Could someone do the side of their house with? No. So if you look in the code up here we have this. We have the sign standard | 00:14:09 | |
| tables kind of divided into two sections. The first section is. | 00:14:15 | |
| It's open space and then residential districts A1 and residential districts that does not permit murals. | 00:14:21 | |
| So Tony and and the like PF the water tank is is zoned as PF so that's why it would be allowed. | 00:14:31 | |
| Got it. | 00:14:37 | |
| Thank you. | 00:14:39 | |
| All right. | 00:14:44 | |
| Does anybody have anything else to say about it? | 00:14:46 | |
| More questions for staff? | 00:14:49 | |
| None for me. | 00:14:53 | |
| I mean, it just it just feels reads like what we've been asking for. | 00:14:56 | |
| Which works for me all right. Does anybody? | 00:15:00 | |
| Want to move to recommend or? | 00:15:03 | |
| I move to recommend approval ordinance 20/23/17 to. | 00:15:08 | |
| The City Council. | 00:15:15 | |
| Second there. | 00:15:17 | |
| OK. Now this is real call, right? Yep. All right, Chris, Aye, Anthony. | 00:15:18 | |
| And Craig? | 00:15:26 | |
| All right. We have moved to approve, so let's go to our next. | 00:15:32 | |
| Business Item 4.2 Site Plan. | 00:15:38 | |
| The Edgewater parking lot and we'll have, we'll have cash go. Once again, it's me. | 00:15:42 | |
| OK, let's pull that up here. | 00:15:48 | |
| So I I don't think that we've done a work session on this but in the past what we we did go through zone change you might be | 00:15:52 | |
| familiar a zoning text amendment for the GRMU district. | 00:15:57 | |
| To allow for off site residential parking in the Jag Army district as long as it's attached to the Edgewater community and that | 00:16:02 | |
| was approved or you guys recommended approval to the City Council and so now we're we're back with the site plan itself to. | 00:16:10 | |
| I should have hyperlinked it so that I don't have to comb through my whole report here to show you the actual site plan. | 00:16:19 | |
| But we have the site plan here. I'll just show you with the landscaping. | 00:16:27 | |
| So this is the site plan. We do also have the applicant here. Carla, you have the public base map too and it might be helpful | 00:16:31 | |
| this. | 00:16:37 | |
| So this. | 00:16:54 | |
| It's going to be right over here. Let me get rid of some layers. | 00:16:56 | |
| Clear things up a little bit. | 00:17:00 | |
| It's the entrance for the parking lot and Carla. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but. | 00:17:03 | |
| And the entrance will be right here. They're going to be relocating these. I think there's five parking stalls right here. They'll | 00:17:08 | |
| be relocating those and and I think going down to four parking lot stalls on this side and then the it'll stretch. | 00:17:15 | |
| All the way down to here and then this will be the exit in between these units here. | 00:17:23 | |
| So I'll go back to that. So you can kind of see there's an entrance right here and then this one is an exit only. | 00:17:29 | |
| So in. | 00:17:36 | |
| OK, let's see. This is page 40. Perfect. I just don't remember the exact number of parking stalls. It looks like there's 138 | 00:17:39 | |
| parking stalls being added to the community. | 00:17:43 | |
| 140 Oh, I didn't count the ones that are outside. | 00:17:49 | |
| It has three pedestrian access points. | 00:17:58 | |
| Towards the Edgewater townhomes as well as one that will go to the GRM you. So I'll go back to the. | 00:18:01 | |
| You can see it here. So you have access points in the fence. There's a there's a 42 inch decorative fence around the whole site. | 00:18:10 | |
| And there will be pedestrian access points. | 00:18:18 | |
| Throughout the the West. | 00:18:22 | |
| And then there is this one right here. If you can see where my cursor is at, that will be a access point into the group to future | 00:18:26 | |
| development, whether whatever retail or commercial may be right there. | 00:18:32 | |
| So go back to my report here. | 00:18:41 | |
| Besides that, they they were able to meet the the parking landscaping requirements, they have about just over 5% of the site | 00:18:48 | |
| landscape which is required for for a parking lot. | 00:18:53 | |
| We've sent this through the the DRC and didn't have any. | 00:18:59 | |
| Comments to hold back from. | 00:19:05 | |
| So that's that's all that I have if you have any questions. | 00:19:07 | |
| Happy to entertain them. | 00:19:13 | |
| So this will not be officially part of Edgewater. | 00:19:17 | |
| Or will it? It will be so, yeah, there will be no access from the GRGRMU into this. So people that are coming to their retail | 00:19:22 | |
| locations. | 00:19:27 | |
| Along the Gru cannot park in here. I mean, they'd have to go all the way around and into Edgewater, but it'll be permitted. So, | 00:19:32 | |
| but yeah, yeah, I I don't know exactly how the HOA is intending on on permitting it if they're gonna sell them or whatnot, but I | 00:19:38 | |
| believe that they will be taking over from X Development after this is all approved. OK. I'm just curious if it will forever and | 00:19:44 | |
| always be part of this or if it's intended to change in the future. | 00:19:50 | |
| No. | 00:19:57 | |
| So, and this the purpose of this is because there's all the parking there anyway and with the new development happening, those | 00:20:04 | |
| cars essentially. | 00:20:08 | |
| The anticipation that they will start parking here. | 00:20:12 | |
| That is, yeah, yeah, there's that. There's a lot that it's belongs part of it belongs to, that's development, part of it belongs | 00:20:16 | |
| to the city and that whole site is being going to be developed soon into this multi family building. And so the the HOA wouldn't | 00:20:22 | |
| knew that they were in desperate need of parking and so they they approached ex development to see if they could purchase this | 00:20:28 | |
| property from them and turn it into the parking lot that they would be able to use. | 00:20:33 | |
| Any ex development previously there was there was like 240 or some odd number of cars there so. | 00:20:40 | |
| Yeah, there'll still be some anticipated parking issues that make. Yeah. What you'll see too is U dot the city and the developer. | 00:20:47 | |
| We're going to update the overall enforcement especially like where that 400 N is because that that really is a bad look for the | 00:20:56 | |
| city and it's there's there's there's crime now there's a lot of stuff. Yeah. So we that that is an area we'd like to see. | 00:21:05 | |
| Cleaned up because we're anticipating the full intersection at some point, but it is a major viewpoint in the city and I imagine | 00:21:14 | |
| when they start construction there, they're going to block off quite a bit of it as they don't want any vehicles being damaged by | 00:21:20 | |
| deliveries and whatnot going on through the the construction. | 00:21:25 | |
| OK. Is that? | 00:21:37 | |
| Is that presentation cool? That's that's all I have. OK, do we have a moving for a public hearing? | 00:21:39 | |
| This is not a this is just a second. So on this one, the difference is you can open public comment just through if you want it, | 00:21:49 | |
| but it's not. It's not like the legal public or if you have any questions for Carla and the developer there. | 00:21:55 | |
| I guess I do have a question for Carla. | 00:22:03 | |
| OK. | 00:22:11 | |
| So. | 00:22:13 | |
| I don't know. I guess I'm wondering like how? | 00:22:18 | |
| Is it working well with the HOA? How are you guys? How did you land? | 00:22:21 | |
| This design. | 00:22:26 | |
| So basically we, you know, they approached us about buying some land for us from us rather. | 00:22:28 | |
| We have tried to accommodate a parcel that and so started a little bit bigger and it's had to get smaller. It's in order to | 00:22:35 | |
| accommodate the other uses that we are currently negotiating and so forth and so. | 00:22:40 | |
| This size was a read on with us with the HOA. They've been great to work with. I think we've made a a great partnership. I think | 00:22:46 | |
| we've set a good example for what can be in the city in order to help resolve some of the the parking issues. | 00:22:53 | |
| And so we, you know they hired the engineer that we work with very closely that already knows the vineyard properties that we have | 00:23:02 | |
| and that's how that this, this site plan came to be. OK, I I appreciate. | 00:23:09 | |
| Two entrances that's going to make this usable and. | 00:23:17 | |
| Maintainable. | 00:23:22 | |
| One way though, right? So one way. That's one way. The main one is yeah, yeah, I'm just gonna say that, OK. The main one is 2 way. | 00:23:25 | |
| What I mean is like there are two access points. | 00:23:33 | |
| But sorry, but one is the one way correct around the South, There's only one way, just because of the space limitations. Yeah, I | 00:23:36 | |
| was just concerned about being able to plow it. | 00:23:41 | |
| For sure. Cool. | 00:23:47 | |
| I guess the only real question I had, I'm excited. I actually did have one. Oh, yeah, I bet you are. It'll help you benefit you | 00:23:51 | |
| directly, right? You will. I do have one question about the fencing. | 00:23:56 | |
| I know so. | 00:24:03 | |
| The since Utah water parcel directly to the north, they're going to have a cement wall there, so the question is if it. | 00:24:04 | |
| You know if this if the HOA has the option to allow that to be where the walls are there needs to be sent against. Yeah you're | 00:24:13 | |
| you're fine. You don't need to double fence that on this elevation here. I mean if you wanted to I guess you could but that might | 00:24:20 | |
| yeah I agree a useless decorations agreed. Yeah. And I just I mean that's a decision in the end that the new owner will will make | 00:24:28 | |
| right. But I just wanted to find out. | 00:24:35 | |
| OK. | 00:25:15 | |
| Is there lighting? Yes, there is lighting. | 00:25:17 | |
| There's lighting throughout that. It's not enough. Yeah, the lighting met all of our standards and the pole height and and are | 00:25:20 | |
| they going to be put on a timer, do you know? | 00:25:24 | |
| I don't know. I thought, I would imagine that would be an HOA decision. Yeah, I would think so. And that would make the most | 00:25:30 | |
| sense. Yeah. I think in there I said eight lights. | 00:25:35 | |
| I don't recall how many there are. I know they're 2020 foot poles and they're they're all. | 00:25:40 | |
| You know, the foot candles are enough to make it so there's appropriate lighting for for residential and safety. Yeah, there are | 00:25:47 | |
| images and. | 00:25:50 | |
| This is the style light. | 00:25:55 | |
| Straight down, it's really similar to what, Silver by Top Golf? It's basically the same type of a pulling head. | 00:25:59 | |
| OK, thanks. Any more questions for me? | 00:26:07 | |
| OK. Would anybody like to open this up for public comment? | 00:26:12 | |
| Should I do I need to do that? Do I just open it all right? | 00:26:16 | |
| If any of the public have comments on this packing lot now. | 00:26:21 | |
| No. | 00:26:26 | |
| OK, so. | 00:26:31 | |
| Next we move to. | 00:26:33 | |
| Does anybody have a motion to make? | 00:26:37 | |
| Yeah, I'll go ahead. I move to approve the Geneva frontage retail parking lot minor site plan amendment application as presented | 00:26:43 | |
| by city staff. | 00:26:47 | |
| OK, second that. | 00:26:53 | |
| Excellent. All in favor, aye? | 00:26:55 | |
| Excellent has been improved. | 00:27:00 | |
| And that is it for business items. | 00:27:05 | |
| And no work session. It looks like we're training. | 00:27:08 | |
| So we've just moved right along to capacity members, reports and expertise, discussion and disclosure staff have anything for us. | 00:27:11 | |
| Yeah, so if there's, if there's nothing from. | 00:27:22 | |
| Any of the the, the commissioners, have you guys, have you guys done any like committees or attended? | 00:27:27 | |
| The bike committee is meeting tomorrow. | 00:27:34 | |
| And Bike Month is in May, and so you. | 00:27:37 | |
| More things coming up with that and then the two days ago we did a Facebook live for the transportation. | 00:27:41 | |
| That we've been working on. So if you haven't watched that, go back and check it out. It was pretty short. It was about 20 | 00:27:49 | |
| minutes, 25 minutes. | 00:27:52 | |
| And and yeah, just the different workshops and things like that that we've got going on open surveys, so. | 00:27:56 | |
| Encourage your neighbors. | 00:28:03 | |
| Just stay in it. | 00:28:05 | |
| I mean, I guess I went to the town hall this last week. | 00:28:08 | |
| It's very informative. It was about the Mill Rd. | 00:28:14 | |
| Making it. | 00:28:17 | |
| Getting the public's ideas for what they would like to see as far as intersections and parking and bike lanes go. | 00:28:21 | |
| And I don't know, it sounded like those people wanted to protected bike lane throughout. | 00:28:30 | |
| And they really liked the idea of. | 00:28:36 | |
| Having parking to protect the bike lane. | 00:28:40 | |
| I thought that was going to need kind of re envisioning the Mill Rd. | 00:28:45 | |
| This is good to hear what everybody else's input was. | 00:28:49 | |
| That was a nice, it's a good showing. The assistant Fire Chief came and he provided kind of an overview of the fire that that | 00:28:53 | |
| happened in that community too and I I think that helped some of the residents and others some. | 00:28:59 | |
| And maybe, yeah, little community anxiety about about just the fire and stuff like that. So it sounded like when the the the | 00:29:07 | |
| person was moving into the townhome, they. | 00:29:13 | |
| They set a box on top of the stove and then when they turned to go out there, elbow bumped. | 00:29:19 | |
| Just slightly enough that it turns it on. Yeah, turn it on. So. | 00:29:25 | |
| But it was good to see how the damage was all contained in that unit. | 00:29:31 | |
| There were two firefighters that were injured though and they are they are covering luckily. So yeah, they they showed some pretty | 00:29:38 | |
| crazy pictures of the fire and and how they were able to get out. They had to get out through the second story window. | 00:29:45 | |
| But yeah, they they did a really good job. The fire that did a great job. | 00:29:51 | |
| Yeah, I guess like the smoke caught fire. Yeah. Anyway, so if you ever say from the staff side, if you have any interest in being | 00:29:56 | |
| a part of that conversation, we're going to take those comments. We're meeting tomorrow as Anthony indicated with the Bicycle | 00:30:03 | |
| Advisory Commission and cash will be leading the the conversation. | 00:30:09 | |
| And so digging a little bit deeper into some of the comments we received at the Town Hall on Mill Rd. What we'll then do is take | 00:30:17 | |
| all those comments where you see from the Bicycle Advisory Commission and from those residents. | 00:30:22 | |
| Over, you know, the 10 seconds that you can get through this tree a little faster. | 00:30:59 | |
| So it'll it'll it'll be kind of cool. So we'll take those and we'll most likely be doing a a work session with the the Planning | 00:31:06 | |
| Commission soon or not. And and with that we will also be continuing these neighborhood events, these town halls we've kind of | 00:31:12 | |
| divided the city up into to similar neighborhoods and we'll be doing those I think once a month, once every other month or | 00:31:19 | |
| something like that. So just keep an eye out for, for probably social media posts when we'll be coming to a neighborhood near you. | 00:31:26 | |
| Very good. And then did you want to update on the? | 00:31:33 | |
| Oh yeah, sure. So David, so yeah, this last week I was able to go to Davis, CA. I went with Kaden, the Bicycle Advisory Commission | 00:31:37 | |
| and we toured Davis, CA which is it was like the first platinum rated bicycle friendly city. | 00:31:45 | |
| And college. The UC Davis is there, so we were able to to rent some bikes from the university there and we went with the Wasatch | 00:31:54 | |
| Regional, Wasatch Front Regional Council and MAG. There's a group of about 25 of us and we we wrote probably 30 miles and a day | 00:32:00 | |
| and a half, just around campus, around the city. | 00:32:06 | |
| Just got to see how they're kind of their networks combined because there are two different entities with the university and the | 00:32:12 | |
| city. | 00:32:16 | |
| It is really eye opening experience to see all of the infrastructure they they've put in place, but it's also. | 00:32:20 | |
| Helped me realize that bicycle infrastructure doesn't have to be expensive. You know, there's a lot of stuff that they just, you | 00:32:26 | |
| know, put paint on the road and and it solves a lot of issues. | 00:32:30 | |
| It also helps that the commun. | 00:32:35 | |
| Bicycle friendly and and they they understand that they're bicycle city. So even cars are more cautious towards towards bicyclists | 00:32:37 | |
| and it'll it'll be cool just to see how we can incorporate some of these ideas when UVU starts developing. Similarly we'll have a | 00:32:44 | |
| relationship with them of college students coming and going and you know we can encourage students to bring a bike instead of a | 00:32:51 | |
| car to campus that'll you know make everybody happier but you know we need as a city need to provide. | 00:32:57 | |
| Safe ways for them to be able to get from campus to. | 00:33:05 | |
| You know, to restaurants, to schools, to whatever it may be, to housing. So, yeah, well, Kaden and I, I think we'll be doing the | 00:33:08 | |
| presentation to the City Council sometime in the near future. It might even be the Planning Commission. But we have some cool | 00:33:14 | |
| slides and data from UC Davis that we'll share. | 00:33:19 | |
| So overall it was a it was a good time. It was quick. We flew in Monday morning at like 7:00 AM and flew home Tuesday by 8:00 PM. | 00:33:26 | |
| He played a lot of board games, so if you only like an hour and a half, you guys ever going to a planning conference with cask, he | 00:33:37 | |
| loves board games. So so you know. | 00:33:42 | |
| Excellent. Yep. Thank you. Thankful. OK. Umm. | 00:33:46 | |
| And we. Look, look, I have an English degree. I'm going to use my words. I paid money for that anyway. OK, Well, if that's it for | 00:33:52 | |
| everybody, the meeting is adjourned and we'll see you in two weeks. | 00:33:59 |
