ALL APPRECIATE THANK, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I'M SURE, UH, SOME OF THEM ARE WATCHING, SOME OF 'EM ARE WORKING SO THEY CAN'T, BUT THEY'D APPRECIATE THAT.

UM, WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE WE HAVE A DISPATCH CENTER, UM, THAT IS HIGHLY TRAINED.

UM, I THINK IT WAS THE FIRST DISPATCH CENTER IN THE STATE OF OHIO TO BE AN ACCREDITED DISPATCH CENTER.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SET THE TONE FOR ALL DISPATCH CENTERS IN THE STATE OF OHIO.

UM, WE HAVE A GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN IN THE CENTER, UM, THAT ARE ARE SPECIAL BECAUSE IT TAKES A VERY SPECIAL PERSON, I'VE ALWAYS SAID TO BE A DISPATCHER TO LISTEN TO THE THINGS THEY HAVE TO LISTEN TO, TO DEAL WITH THE THINGS THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH AND TO MULTITASK YOU GUYS.

SO MANY THINGS GOING ON AT ONE TIME BECAUSE WE DO PUBLIC SAFETY WITH POLICE AND FIRE NOT ONLY FOR OUR CITY, BUT FOR TWO OTHER CITIES ALSO.

SO IT DOES TAKE A VERY SPECIAL PERSON

[00:10:01]

TO DO THAT.

AND UH, AND AND ALTHOUGH THIS IS ONE WEEK WHERE WE SHOW OUR APPRECIATION FOR WHAT THEY DO, YOU KNOW, WE APPRECIATE WHAT THEY DO 365 DAYS A YEAR.

SO, BUT IT IS NICE THAT WE HAVE THIS ONE WEEK THAT WE CAN, UH, DEDICATE, UH, TO DEB WILEY.

HERE'S OUR, UH, OUR, OUR MANAGER OVER THE COMMUNICATIONS CENTER AND SHE HAS ONE DAY EACH DAY OF THAT WEEK, MAYBE SHE CAN EXPLAIN ON HOW WE SHOW THE APPRECIATION AND KINDA LET THEM DO SPECIAL THINGS DURING THAT WEEK.

YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S JUST A A WEEK OF FUN ON TOP OF THEIR JOB.

IT'S NOT GONNA DISTRACT THEM FROM THE JOB OF ANY SORT AT ALL, BUT THEY'LL HAVE LIKE, IT'S SPIRIT WEEK AND, UM, THERE'S DAYS WHERE THEY CAN COME AS A SUPERHERO, LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT.

THEY GET LITTLE, UM, DIFFERENT KINDS OF CANDY EACH DAY JUST TO SHOW THEM HOW WE DO APPRECIATE THEM.

UM, WE HAVE 14 GREAT DISPATCHERS.

HE PRETTY MUCH USED ALL THE WORDS I WANTED TO SAY OF HOW THIS, HOW HARD THEY WORK ON A DAILY BASIS.

THOSE NUMBERS HE READ IS JUST A MINIMUM PERCENT OF WHAT THEY REALLY DO ON A DAILY BASIS, MULTITASKING THE ENTIRE 10 HOUR SHIFT THAT THEY'RE THERE.

SO, UM, THANK YOU GUYS AS CITIZENS FOR SUPPORT AND THANK YOU GUYS AS THE COUNCIL FOR SUPPORTING THEM CONTINUOUSLY ALL YEAR.

ABSOLUTELY.

SO I'M JUST GONNA REITERATE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, READING THOSE NUMBERS IS A LITTLE SOBER AND YOU, WHEN I'VE READ THE PROCLAMATION, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYBODY REALLY JUST HEARD OF THOSE NUMBERS, BUT WHEN YOU HEAR THAT 130,000 PHONE CALLS AND ALMOST 90,000, 130,000 WERE CALLS FOR SERVICE, SOMEBODY OTHER TO THAT LINE ALMOST 90,000 TIMES NEEDED HELP.

I MEAN, THAT IS A BIG, BIG TASK AND UH, AND WE JUST REALLY APPRECIATE HEARING, MEETING, THANK MUCH.

THANK, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

THANK, THANKS, THANK YOU.

GREAT JOB.

APPRECIATE.

OKAY, NEXT UP

[8. Citizens Comments]

TONY.

PHONE NUMBER IS (614) 466-7090.

UH, WE'LL START OFF WITH MR. JEFF MORFORD.

GOOD EVENING.

NAME'S JEFF MORFORD, BETHEL TOWNSHIP, MIAMI COUNTY.

SORRY.

UH, LAST TIME I ADDRESSED THIS GROUP, I BROUGHT UP TWO NEWSPAPER STORIES THAT WERE INTERESTING.

ONE STORY REFERRED TO FORMER OHIO HOUSE SPEAKER LARRY HOUSEHOLDER, AN ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT TOOK AN OATH OF OFFICE AND WITHOUT GOING INTO THE DETAIL, WAS CALLED WITH HIS HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR.

THE SECOND STORY RELATED TO TWO APARTMENT COMPLEXES ON THE PLANNING STAGES ON EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD TOTAL APPROXIMATELY 880 UNITS.

IF YOU REMEMBER, OR IF YOU WERE LISTENING, I STATED EMPHATICALLY DO NOT ALLOW EITHER OF THESE PROJECTS TO GO FORWARD.

AND THEN I REPEATED, DO NOT ALLOW EITHER OF THESE PROJECTS GO FORWARD BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC ISSUES IN REALITY, IF I SAT ON YOUR COMMITTEE, I WOULD'VE THOUGHT, WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS TO TELL US WHAT TO DO? HE IS NOT EVEN A HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENT.

HE DIDN'T EVEN PHRASE A STATEMENT AS A SUGGESTION OR A REQUEST.

HOW RUDE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RESIDENTS OF BETHEL TOWNSHIP THINK WHEN HUBER HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL CAN ACCEPT AN ANNEXATION REQUEST AND REZONING MIAMI COUNTY PROPERTY INTO A HIGH DENSITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FAR FROM OUR RE ZONING REGULATIONS AND WITHOUT REGARD PAST MANY OF THE UNWANTED PROBLEMS, INCLUDING SCHOOL PROBLEMS, UH, TO THE BETHEL RESIDENCE.

NOW TO THE 260 MIAMI COUNTY ACRES.

THESE PARCELS OF LAND ARE OWNED BY, UH, DUNNO HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT, CHICK C H I C H A K L L C 16 ACRES.

A GASMAN HAS 90 19 ACRES.

A LADY HAS 1 0 8 ACRES.

A STAFFORD HAS 27 A G LJ HOLDING HAS 20 A G LJ HOLDING HAS 60 A G LJ HOLDING HAS 27 TOTAL 107 ACRES WITH G LJ.

G LJ WAS INCORPORATED OCTOBER 11TH, 2021 BY CHARLES L KIDDER.

K I D D E R IS LISTED AS AGENT A WILLIAM W KETHER.

K E E T H L E R R IS LISTED AS INCORPORATOR.

THE OHIO ETHICS COMMITTEE IS LOCATED ON 30 WEST SPRING STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO.

THEIR

[00:15:01]

JUST IN CASE ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

ACCORDING TO CHAPTER FIVE, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RESTRICTIONS, THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST LAW ALSO PROVIDES PROHIBITS, EXCUSE ME, THAT PROVIDES, PROHIBITS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL OR EMPLOYEE FROM SOLICITATING OR ACCEPTING THINGS OF VALUE THAT COULD HAVE SUBSTANTIAL AND IMPROPER INFLUENCE ON THE OFFICIAL OR EMPLOYEE.

IN OTHER WORDS, THE OFFICIAL OR EMPLOYEE CANNOT SOLICIT OR ACCEPT ANYTHING OF VALUE SUCH AS A GIFT, TRAVEL EXPENSES, EMPLOYMENT, SUBSTANTIAL MEALS, OR ANY THINGS OF SIGNIFICANT VALUE FROM ANYONE.

IF THE THING OF VALUE COULD IMPROPERLY INFLUENCE THE OFFICIAL OR EMPLOYEE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS OR HER DUTIES.

THE COMMISSION HAS EXPLAINED THAT THESE KINDS OF GIFTS WOULD IMPROPERLY INFLUENCE A PUBLIC OFFICIAL OR EMPLOYEE IF THEY'RE ARE PROVIDED TO THE OFFICIAL OR EMPLOYEE BY ANYONE THAT IS DOING OR SEEKING TO DO BUSINESS WITH HIS OR HER PUBLIC AGENCY, REGULATED BY HIS OR HER PUBLIC AGENCY, OR INTERESTED IN MATTERS BEFORE HIS OR HER PUBLIC AGENCY.

I WILL ADD, IF I MAY, THINGS OF VALLEY COULD BE GOLF OUTINGS, MUSIC EVENTS, STAGE SHOWS, VACATIONS, ATTENDANCES, AND IN MUSIC PARKS LIKE KINGS ISLAND, DISNEY WORLD OR UNIVERSAL STUDIOS BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUALS COULD INCLUDE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEVELOPERS, BUILDERS ASSOCIATIONS, BOARD OF REALTORS, BUILDERS, PLUMBERS, CONCRETE FRAMING, STRUCTURAL CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS, ARCHITECTURAL FIRMS ALSO INCLUDING ANY BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUAL, INDIVIDUAL THAT MIGHT PROFIT FROM THE COUNCIL'S VOTE TO ACCEPT THE ANNEXATION REQUEST AND BUILDING PLAN.

THINGS LIKE MR. HOUSEHOLDER'S CAMPAIGN CON CONTRIBUTIONS COULD COME UNDER SCRUTINY AND BE CONSIDERED CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

LAST WEEK I CAME UP WITH A FEW SCENARIOS.

IF 40 YEARS AGO, THE UNWANTED INTEREST FROM THE CITY OF DAYTON TO INCORPORATE THE AREA KNOWN AS WAYNE TOWNSHIP, YOUR LEADERS WERE OPPOSED TO THIS.

AND NOW HUBER HEIGHTS IS ITS OWN CITY WITH LOCAL CONTROL.

BUT IF DAYTON DID TAKE OVER, THINGS WOULD BE MUCH DIFFERENT.

AND I CAN ONLY SURMISE POSSIBLY NOT TO THE LOCAL RESIDENTS LIKING.

IT SURPRISES ME AND IT DISAPPOINTS ME THAT THE LEADERS OF THIS COMMUNITY, GIVEN THEIR HISTORY OF FIGHTING FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND RIGHT TO GOVERN WHAT EVEN ENTERTAINED THE THOUGHT OF ANNEXATION OF ANY OF THEIR NEIGHBORS PROPERTY.

THIS COMMUNITY FOUGHT FOR THEIR INDEPENDENCE.

THIS COMMUNITY FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO SELF-GOVERN THIS COMMUNITY FOUGHT FOR ITS BORDERLINES.

THIS COMMUNITY FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO PLAN AND GROW WITH YOUR LOCAL CITIZENS IN MIND.

YOU, A COMMUNITY THAT WORKED AND PLANNED TO KEEP YOUR CITIZENS SAFE, OFFERED THE PUBLIC SERVICES, EDUCATION, FIRE, POLICE PROTECTION ALL THE TIME WITH THEIR ETHIC AND MORAL CONCERNS IN MIND.

THIS COMMUNITY, I'M GONNA ASK YOU YOUR, YOUR COUPLE MINUTES OVER YOUR TIME, SO IT NEEDS YOU TO WRAP IT UP PLEASE.

I HATE MEETING LAST WEEK, SO I THOUGHT I CAN'T HAVE AN, I GOT THIS MUCH TO DO.

I'M HAPPY GOING.

I I HATE THAT IT MAKES ME SOUND RUDE.

BUT WE HAVE A FIVE MINUTE TIME LIMIT.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE TO SPEAK SEVERAL TIMES, YOU KNOW THE RULE AND YOU'RE ALREADY OVER ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF.

SO NEW INFORMATION, I'LL BE BACK.

SAME, SAME THING NEXT WEEK.

WOULDN'T EXPECT NEXT WEEK.

AND YOU CAN HEAR IT THIS WEEK, WOULDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS.

YOU HAVE A GREAT, HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.

I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU FOR SA FOR STOPPING ME FOR THINKING A MINUTE AND A HALF.

NEXT UP, UH, KEVIN CARTER, SHOULD YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM? GOOD EVENING.

KEVIN CARTER, WARD ONE.

UH, WHAT I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO TONIGHT, I FOUND IT KIND OF ODD THAT WE HAD THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CITY MANAGER, UH, SEARCH.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS MAYBE ADD SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT WHAT WE COULD DO TO HOPEFULLY IMPROVE THE PROCESS THIS GO ROUND.

UM, FIRST OF ALL, MR. GORE, UM, A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WHEN THIS TOPIC WAS BROUGHT UP, YOU MADE PUBLIC OR YOU HAD, UM, STATED TWO RECOMMENDATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU HAD.

ONE WAS AT THE INTERVIEWS BE CONDUCTED IN PRIVATE AND THE OTHER THAT ALL CON ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS NEED TO BE PRESENT FOR THE DAY OF THE VOTE.

YES, SIR.

I THINK I AND EVERYBODY ELSE AGREES WITH THAT.

BUT WE'RE PEOPLE, AND I KNOW I HAD PROBLEMS WITH, AND THIS IS WHERE I'D LIKE TO MAKE SOME SUGGESTIONS.

ONE, I'M ASSUMING THAT WHEN THE INTERVIEWS OCCUR, ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO HAVE TO BE PRESENT AT THE INTERVIEWS.

THAT WOULD CERTAINLY BE MY PREFERENCE, YES.

CANDIDATE'S EDUCATION AND JOB EXPERIENCE THAT MUST BE MET TO MEET REQUIREMENTS AS SET FORTH CURRENTLY IN THE CITY MANAGER JOB DESCRIPTION.

AND THEN WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO, WHAT I'M GOING TO SUGGEST NOW IS THAT YOU CLEARLY ESTABLISHED THE

[00:20:01]

AND IF ANY, UM, EXCEPTIONS ARE GOING TO BE PERMISSIBLE, WE NEED, AND AS WE HAD SOME TONIGHT, WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION, THERE WAS SOME BACK AND FORTH.

I THINK THAT JUST FURTHER EMPHASIZES WE NEED TO GET THE EDUCATION DOWN PAT.

I AM IN AGREEMENT THAT THE CITY MANAGER OR THE CANDIDATE SHOULD HAVE SOME CITY MANAGER EXPERIENCE.

I DON'T THINK I PERSONALLY WOULD WANT SOMEONE THAT HAS MAYBE PUBLIC WORKS, EMERGENCY SERVICES OR JUST GENERAL OFFICE EXPERIENCE IS HAVING THE KNOWLEDGE THAT'S NEEDED FOR A CITY MANAGER POSITION.

THE SECOND THING I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT THERE WOULD BE A FAIR AND UNBIASED GRADING STANDARD AND SCORECARD THAT SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED, APPROVED, AND THEN IMPLEMENTED PRIOR TO THE CANDIDATE SELECTION.

AND THAT IS ABIDED BY ALL OF YOU WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.

ALSO, SINCE THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON THE, UH, THE LAST GO ROUND, DEVELOP CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES TO AND FROM EACH CANDIDATE AND BAKER TILLEY FOR WHICH ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS AND CITY STAFF MUST ABIDE BY.

AND THOUGH THE INTERVIEWS MAY BE OR WILL BE CONDUCTED IN PRIVATE AS IN LAST GO AROUND, I, I THINK ALL CANDIDATES RESUMES AND APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC RECORD PRIOR TO ANY INTERVIEWS BEING CONDUCTED.

SO IF THE RESIDENTS HAVE AMPLE TIME TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE RESPECTIVE WARD REPS AND THEN ALL COMPLETING GRADING SCORECARDS FOR EACH CANDIDATE SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC PRIOR, UH, PUBLIC RECORD PRIOR TO ANY CANDIDATE VOTING BEING CONDUCTED SO THAT RESIDENTS, AGAIN, HAVE AMPLE TIME TO DISCUSS WITH THEIR, UH, WARD REPS.

AS FOR THE GRADING, I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING SO THAT IT STAYS FAIR.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED AT THE TIME OF EACH INTERVIEW AT THE COMPLETION OF EACH INTERVIEW.

THAT WAY THERE IS NO DISCUSSION AMONGST ANY OF YOU ABOUT WHICH CANDIDATE.

THIS TO ME, WOULD BE A WAY TO SHOW ALL THE RESIDENTS WHO YOU'RE PICKING BY YOUR OWN CHOICE, NOT BY SELECTION OR SLANG OF OTHER PEOPLE'S DISCUSSIONS.

AGAIN, THE CITY MANAGER IS A POSITION THAT IS, IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO OUR CITY.

IN MY OPINION, THAT PERSON WORKS FOR US.

SO WE WOULD WANT A PERSON WHO IS ABLE TO AND WILL MAKE FAIR, UNBIASED DECISIONS FOR OUR CITY AND WHOM WILL NOT BE SWAYED BY ANYONE.

AND THEN THE LAST COMMENT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IS, I KNOW OUR LAST MEETING EARLIER THIS MONTH WAS CANCELED, WHICH THE COUNCIL WORK SESSION, THEN THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING WERE CANCELED.

HENCE OUR COMBINING MEETINGS TONIGHT.

I'M HOPING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

CAUSE I'VE GOT A FEW TOPICS I'D LIKE TO TALK ON 'EM, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT GOING FORWARD WE KEEP THE MEETINGS THE WAY THAT THEY WERE PRIOR TO THIS MONTH OF HAVING TWO WORK SESSIONS AND TWO COUNCIL MEETINGS BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF WORK GOING ON IN THE CITY AND EVERYONE NEEDS AMPLE TIME TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK.

AND KEVIN, WE DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

NEXT UP WE HAVE, UH, PAT PATRICIA DYER, WILL YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM? HI, I'M PATRICIA DYER.

I'M IN WARD THREE ON ROLLING GLEN.

UH, I WANTED TO JUST, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ROAD CONSTRUCTION OR ANY OF THAT, BUT THE, THE, THE AREAS ON BRANT PIKE, ONCE YOU GET PAST 70, IT, WHEN IT'S A BUSY TIME TURNING INTO EXECUTIVE, TURNING INTO PARKVIEW, TURNING INTO SHOLL ROAD, THOSE RAMPS AREN'T ENOUGH FOR THE VOLUME OF CARS AND THE ONES THAT ARE COMING UP BEHIND YOU AND YOU'RE STOPPING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET INTO THE RAMP.

IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITIES THAT ANOTHER AREA TO THE RIGHT OF THAT COULD BE PUT IN SO THAT CARS WANTING TO GO THROUGH CAN HAVE A WAY TO DO SO AND LEAVE MORE SPACE FOR THE CARS THAT NEED TO TURN? IT'S JUST VERY CONGESTED AT, AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY.

USUALLY ANYWHERE AFTER TWO O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON.

SO SOMETHING, IS THAT ANYTHING IN THE WORKS ABOUT DOING ANY OF THAT OR HELPING THINGS OUT? I ASKED THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY SAID IT WAS ANOTHER ISSUE THEY COULDN'T TALK ABOUT.

YEAH, SO I MEAN, I I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHICH, IF YOU'RE GOING NORTH ON TWO, ON NORTH ON 2 0 1 ON 2 0 1 AND YOU HAVE, AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GO WESTBOUND OR EASTBOUND, YOU'RE GOING NORTH.

I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOU SAID IF YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN IN WEST, I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE GOING TRYING TO GET ON 70 CUZ YOU SAID THE NO, NO, NO, NO.

I'M TALKING ONCE YOU'RE NORTH OF 70 AND YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN INTO EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD GOING, IF YOU'RE GOING NORTH,

[00:25:01]

YOU'RE TURNING WEST.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU DON'T THINK THERE'S ENOUGH STACKING FOR THE CARS TO GET THE RAMP TO THE LEFT RAMP, THE RAMP PIECES TO MAKE THOSE LEFT TURNS ARE NOT, NOT ENOUGH DURING BUSY TIMES.

THE THEY'RE ALL FULL AND THERE'S CARS THAT YOU'RE OUT IN THE MAIN TRAFFIC LANE WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO, WAITING TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THAT TO TURN, IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT ANY OF THAT CAN BE FIXED IN SOME WAY SO THAT THERE'S MORE SPACE? IS THAT EVEN BEING ADDRESSED? SO IT'S NOT BEING DISCUSSED THAT I KNOW OF.

UM, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE WITH OKAY.

UM, WITH KIND OF SOME OF THE ONGOING TRAFFIC CONTROL ISSUES THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.

UM, I MEAN, A LOT OF US HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON TROY PIKE, MARY LEEWAY TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS FOR THAT AREA.

BUT I, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, AND I THINK WELL, BUT THE PARDON? YEAH, I MEAN, I GO, I I LIVE OFF OF S SCHULTZ.

I MEAN, I GO, I MEAN I'M GOING NORTH ALL THE TIME, SO I MEAN I I I SEE WHAT YOU'RE, I KNOW NOW THAT YOU'RE, WHEN YOU SAID RAMPS BEFORE THAT THREW ME OFF, I THOUGHT, I'M SORRY, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT GOING, I SHOULD SAID TURN LANES VERSUS SO THE TURN LANE.

HOW ANNEXATION COMES OUT, UM, I THINK THIS COUNCIL HAS BEEN SEEMINGLY ACCUSED MANY TIMES OF TAKING PROPERTY.

YEAH, SO I THINK, UM, I MEAN, COUNCIL WILL JUST HAVE TO, I MEAN, WE TALK ABOUT STUDIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT I, IT WOULD BE, IT'D BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO SPEND THE MONEY IF WE DON'T HAVE A VERIFIABLE STUDY FROM ENGINEERING THAT SHOWS WE, WE HAVE ISSUES, WE HAVE TRAFFIC SECONDING ISSUES.

WHAT THE PEAK TIMES WERE COUNCIL WOULD HAVE TO, TO WANT THE, THE CITY STAFF TO ENGAGE IN SOME TYPE OF A STUDY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT IS AND WHAT THAT COST MIGHT BE TO DO THAT BEFORE ANY ACTION BE TAKEN.

THAT THAT WOULD BE A COUNCIL DECISION.

IF THEY WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I WOULD APPRECIATE AT LEAST IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER THIS ISSUE.

CUZ FOR THOSE OF US TRYING TO DRIVE IT EVERY DAY, IT GETS DANGEROUS.

WE HAVE NATALIE DONAHUE, IF YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PARTY.

GOOD EVENING.

I'M NATALIE DONAHUE.

I'M A BETHEL TOWNSHIP, MIAMI COUNTY RESIDENT, AND I THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK TONIGHT.

UM, IN, I'LL KEEP IT SIMPLE.

UM, WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY IS PRESENTED TO YOU, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU PLEASE VOTE NO ON ANNEXATION.

UM, I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TALKED, UM, MULTIPLE TIMES, SO I WON'T REPEAT EVERYTHING, BUT I WILL SAY THAT MS. DYER'S, UM, EXASPERATION IS, COULD POTENTIALLY GET WORSE WITH THAT.

SO, UH, WITH THE ANNEXATION AND OF THE 262 ACRES, WHICH IS I THINK ABOUT 1,145 HOMES, SO 2,500 MORE DRIVERS GOING UP TO OH ONE AND POSSIBLY TWO, TWO.

AND, UM, SO THAT IS ONE THING.

UM, IN FULL TRANSPARENCY, I AM ABOUT THE LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, BUT I AM HERE TONIGHT AS JUST A CITIZEN.

BUT, UM, WE, WE ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP PACE WITH THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ARRIVING EVERY YEAR AND SOMETIMES EVERY MONTH IN THE SCHOOL.

UM, THE NEW SCHOOL THAT'S GONNA OPEN WILL BE FULL WHEN IT OPENS IN AUGUST.

SO, UM, WE ARE JUST TRYING TO BE AS PREPARED AS POSSIBLE, UH, ALONG WITH THE TRAFFIC AND THE SCHOOL AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NOT IN PLACE.

I KNOW HUBER HEIGHTS HAS A LOT GOING ON.

JUST LOOK AT THE AGENDA THAT YOU HAVE FOR TONIGHT.

IT'S, IT'S A LOT OF NEW ITEMS FOR BUSINESS AND I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME OLD ITEMS. AND THEN SELECTING THE NEW CITY MANAGER, THERE'S A LOT ON YOUR PLATE.

SO I WOULD JUST ASK YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER VOTING NO FOR ANNEXATION WHEN IT COMES UP THIS TIME.

I, I SIMPLY EQUATE IT TO GOING INTO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD.

UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOOD NEIGHBORS.

WE SHOP HERE, WE SPEND OUR MONEY HERE, WE'RE HERE EVERY WEEKEND AND WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT, BUT IT'S HARD TO GET DOWN THE ROADS AS IT IS NOW.

UM, IT'S LIKE, UM, CENTERVILLE AND YOU JUST DON'T GO THERE IF YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH EASILY.

BUT, UM, I WOULD, I WOULD SAY THAT MOST OF US AS PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS WOULD SAY WE WOULD NEVER REALLY WANT OUR KIDS TO GO INTO OUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD AND TAKE THEIR STUFF.

I, IT'S JUST NOT ETHICAL.

SO I WOULD ASK, YOU GUYS ARE ALL VERY SMART PEOPLE.

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON.

YOU HAVE GOOD WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.

I KNOW THERE'S POTENTIALLY CAMPGROUNDS AND NEW BUSINESSES.

SO, UM, PLEASE JUST THINK REALLY HARD ABOUT THIS AND, AND THE IMPACT THAT IT WILL DO AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CURRENT RESIDENTS ARE HAPPY AND EVERYBODY'S TAKEN CARE OF FIRST BEFORE YOU GO ADD NEW MEMBERS TO THE COMMUNITY.

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL AND STAYED IN HUBER FOR YEARS, THEY DESERVE THE FIRST PRIORITY.

SO I AGAIN, HAD ASKED ONE LAST TIME, JUST A REQUEST, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE VOTE NO ON ANNEXATION WHEN THAT TIME COMES UP.

WE WOULD DEFINITELY ALL APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I APPRECIATE IT.

SO I, I WANNA ADDRESS ONE THING, CUZ THIS, THIS IS, YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST PERSON WHO SAID THIS.

AND REGARDLESS OF THE VOTE AND HOW THAT COMES OUT,

[00:30:01]

AND I THINK, AND THAT IS, THAT IS JUST NOT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT'S ON THE TABLE.

THAT'S TRUE.

WE ARE, UM, I MEAN, SOMEBODY FROM BETHEL ACCUSED US OF BEING RUSSIA LIKE WE'RE INVADING UKRAINE.

I MEAN YEAH, I REALIZE IT'S NOT A SEIZURE.

IT'S YES, BUT WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, THERE ARE LANDOWNERS, YOUR NEIGHBORS, NOT OUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR NEIGHBORS WHO WANNA SELL THEIR PROPERTY.

THEY'VE IDENTIFIED DEVELOPERS OR DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE AGREED, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE, ARE, ARE DOING THIS.

NOW, CLEARLY THERE'S A FINANCIAL GAIN FOR THE, FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FOR THE DEVELOPER, BUT FOR ANYONE TO SAY THAT THE CITY IS TAKING ANYBODY'S PROPERTY, AND I, AND I'VE HEARD THAT MULTIPLE TIMES, IT'S JUST NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

IT'S NOT WHAT ANNEXATION IS.

IT IS THE LEGAL METHOD FOR A PROPERTY OWNER WHO OWNS THEIR PROPERTY TO DO WITH WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH IT.

AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE, I'LL ADDRESS WHAT MR. MORFORD SAID EARLIER, IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS ACCUSING THIS COUNSEL OF BEING UNETHICAL.

HE DIDN'T SAY THAT, BUT BASED ON THE COMMENTARY, THOSE WERE SOME PRETTY HEAVY ACCUSATIONS.

AND I, I LET 'EM SPEAK, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S JUST NOT THE CASE.

SO ANYBODY LISTENING, ANYBODY HEARING OR, OR AGAIN, REGARDLESS OF HOW THIS VOTE HAPPENS AND IF IT'S NO, OR IF IT'S YES, WE'RE NOT TAKING ANYTHING.

THERE ARE PRIVATE LANDOWNERS IN BETHEL THAT ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS WHO WANT TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY.

AND BY YOU TELLING THEM NO OR TELLING US TO TELL THEM NO, THAT'S JUST AS MUCH A VIOLATION OF THEIR RIGHTS AS INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS, AS WHAT YOU FEEL THAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE.

IF, BECAUSE WE'RE TAKING SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY TAKING ANNEXATION IS THE LEGAL PROCESS THAT THIS TAKES PLACE.

IF THOSE LANDOWNERS DECIDE THEY WANT TO SELL THEIR PROPERTY, THAT'S ALL THAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.

AND THIS COUNCIL WILL MAKE THAT DECISION ON ANNEXATION.

BUT WE'RE NOT TAKING ANYTHING, WE'RE NOT INVADING YOUR SPACE.

WE'RE NOT INVADING YOUR COMMUNITY.

YOU HAVE YOUR NEIGHBORS, YOUR PROPERTY OWNERS IN BETHEL WANNA SELL THEIR PROPERTY AND THEY WANTED ANNEXED INTO HUB HEIGHTS BECAUSE IT'S WORTH MORE.

THAT'S WHAT, AND THAT'S THEIR RIGHT TO DO.

SO IT IS RIGHT OR WRONG, THAT'S THEIR RIGHT TO DO SO.

SO THAT I, I JUST WANNA BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING AND WHAT THAT ANNEXATION IS.

WE'RE NOT TAKING OR SEIZING ANYTHING THAT BELONGS TO ANYBODY OTHER THAN THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY OWN THE PROPERTY.

SO I JUST WANT THAT TO BE CLEAR.

I I APPRECIATE THAT AND I AGREE IT'S NOT A SEIZURE, IT'S NOT, UM, UM, IT, IT IS A REGULAR ANNEXATION ALLOWED BY LAW AND, UM, THE LANDOWNERS AND THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH THEIR PROPERTY.

AND THE DEVELOPER HAPPENED TO MAKE A PRETTY DARN GOOD DEAL.

AND, UM, I CAN SEE THAT IT, IT BENEFITS HUBER HEIGHTS AND THE LANDOWNERS, BUT THE REST OF US FALL BY THE WAYSIDE.

AND, UM, AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR OPINION.

I AND, AND I RESPECT THAT OPINION.

I REALLY DO.

ALL I'M TRYING TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS ABSOLUTELY WHAT ANNEXATION IS AND IT'S, IT, IT DOESN'T INVOLVE US TAKING ANYBODY'S PROPERTY.

IT, UM, MS. DONAHUE, THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT.

I GREATLY APPRECIATE, UH, HEARING YOUR OPINIONS.

I'M NOT QUITE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE VERBIAGE THAT CITIZENS USE, UM, YOU KNOW, TAKING LAND.

IT, IT'S NOT A CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND GENERALLY WHAT THE OVERALL PERSPECTIVE IS.

UM, I DID HEAR YOUR COMMENTS AND I, UH, DO GREATLY APPRECIATE THEM THAT TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL DOES NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN THE ISSUE OF ANNEXATION COMES UP.

SO, AND, AND I KNOW BEING A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, BETHEL, UH, YOU HAVE A GREAT DEAL MORE CONCERN IN DIFFERENT AREAS, NOT JUST TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

BUT I DO THANK YOU, UH, COMING TONIGHT AND SPEAKING AND, UM, YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS MR. MORFORD, I, I DO APPRECIATE HIS COMMENTS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM THOSE AS WELL BECAUSE, UM, THIS IS A PUBLIC BODY, THIS IS A PUBLIC MEETING, AND WE DO AT LEAST I DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU AS WELL FOR YOUR TIME AND, AND ALLOWING US TO SPEAK HERE.

ABSOLUTELY.

SO THE PUBLIC HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 27TH, 2023 BY THE HE RIGHTS CITY COUNCIL FOR CASE EC 23 DASH ZERO SIX IS HEREBY OPEN, AND WE NOW CALL IN CITY STAFF TO MAKE THEIR INITIAL PRESENTATION.

AARON, HOW ARE YOU, SIR? I'M WELL, MAYOR.

HOW ARE YOU? GOOD, THANK YOU.

UH, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

UH, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL AARON CLL, CITY HEIGHTS.

JUST ONE SECOND.

HE OKAY.

ACTUALLY, THAT WAY YOU DON'T NEED TO READ IT AGAIN.

JUST SAY THAT THE CASE.

SO IT'S, IT'S ZONING CA YEAH, THE ZONING CASE IS FOR BDP 23 DASH ZERO TWO IS THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE'RE NOW ON, AND IT IS NOW OPEN.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN, AARON.

IT IS CURRENTLY MOSTLY CROP LAND.

SO THE SITE IN, UH, QUESTION IS, UH, 25.3 ACRES CURRENTLY ZONED PLANNED EMPLOYMENT PARK.

IT IS VACANT LAND.

UH, THE ADJACENT ZONING WEST IS I ONE NORTH IS OUR, OUR SEVEN TO THE EAST, UH, IS, UH, PLANNED EMPLOYMENT PARK INTO THE SOUTH IS ALSO PLANNED EMPLOYMENT PARK.

SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING, UH, REZONING TO PLAN MIXED USE, UH, AND APPROVAL OF A BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO CONSTRUCT, UH, UP TO 320, UH, RETAIL SPACES.

LET ME MOVE THIS REAL QUICK.

I THINK RESIDENTIAL, NOT RETAIL.

I'M SORRY.

HERE'S THE SITE IN QUESTION, UH, OUTLINED IN BY THE, UH, RED DASH LINE.

UH, IT IS JUST NORTH OF THE ROSE.

UM,

[00:45:01]

UH, THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN, UH, IN, UH, DECEMBER.

UH, THIS IS LOOKING TO THE, UH, EAST.

THIS IS LOOKING TO THE WEST.

SO AS FAR AS THE REZONING ANALYSIS GOES, THIS AREA IS EVOLVING FROM, UH, AN EMPLOYMENT PARK TO A MIXED USE ENTERTAINMENT DES, UH, DESTINATION.

WE HAVE THE ROSE ACROSS THE STREET.

WARPED WING IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE MOMENT.

UH, TJ CHUMPS WAS CONSTRUCTED A FEW YEARS AGO.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INDICATES THAT THIS AREA IS LOCATED IN A GROWING ENHANCED CHARACTER AREA.

UH, IT'S ONE IN WHICH WE ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND MIXED USES, UH, AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED.

IT'S STAFF PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THE REZONING FROM P E P TO PLAN MIXED USES CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

IT PROVIDES FOUR ACRES OF MIXED USE, COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL DEVELOPMENT, ALONG WITH HIGH DENSITY HOUSING PRODUCT NECESSARY TO SUPPORT, UH, ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL COMPONENTS OF THE DISTRICT.

AS FAR AS THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANALYSIS, UH, THIS IS THE SITE ITSELF.

UM, THERE IS, UH, THE SITE IS BISECTED BY, UH, A STREAM THAT I DON'T THINK THIS WORKS ON.

TVS, UH, THAT DOES.

NO SITE IS BISECTED BY THE STREAM.

YOU CAN SEE, UH, TO THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH, UM, DOES HAVE, UH, SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, CONSTRAINTS BECAUSE OF THAT.

THE, UM, DEVELOPER IS, UH, CHOSEN TO MAINTAIN THAT STREAM, UH, AS AN AMENITY.

UH, IT'S ONE OF THE FEW SITES THAT WE HAVE THAT DOES HAVE NATURAL FEATURES ON IT.

IT'S NOT ENTIRELY FARMED.

UM, SO IT DOES CREATE THESE TWO DEVELOPMENT AREAS NORTH OF THE STREAM AND SOUTH OF THE STREAM.

UH, THE DEVELOPER, LIKE I SAID, IS CHOSEN TO MAINTAIN THAT STREAM AS AN AMENITY.

SO IT DOES CREATE SOME, UH, DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES.

HOWEVER, THE SITE WITH THAT STREAM, UH, HAS OVER 50% OPEN SPACE.

UH, OUR ZONING CODE REQUIRES 25%.

UM, SO THIS IS DOUBLE THAT.

AND SUPPORT STAFF DOES SUPPORT THIS, UH, APPROACH OF MAINTAINING THIS, UH, THIS AMENITY FEATURE.

THE INGRESS AND EGRESS WILL ALIGN WITH THE EXISTING CURB CUTS ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.

MAINLY THIS IS FRONTAGE IN FRONT OF THE ROWS, SO THERE'LL BE THREE ACCESS POINTS, UH, TWO INTO THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION, UH, AND THEN ONE INTO THE COMMERCIAL AREA.

AGAIN, THEY ALIGN WITH THE EXISTING, UH, DRIVE MOUSE OF, OF THE ROSE AREA.

THIS IS A SITE PLAN.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THE, THE APARTMENT LAYOUT.

UM, THERE ARE THREE BUILDINGS, UH, THAT FRONT EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.

THERE'S A CLUSTER TO THE, TO THE NORTHWEST ABOVE THE, THE STREAM.

UH, AND THEN AT THE PERIMETER OF THE NORTH END OF THE, THE SITE ARE, UH, GARAGES.

SO IT'S A MIX OF ONE AND TWO BEDROOM UNITS.

UH, THERE WILL BE, UH, ONSITE RESIDENT AMENITIES.

THERE'S A NICE COMPLIMENTARY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.

UH, THE DEVELOPER, UM, DEVELOPED THE, THE DEVELOPMENT, HOW MANY TWO TIMES CAN I SAY, DEVELOPER, UH, TO THE, TO THE EAST.

UM, THE COMMERCIAL AREA WILL BE DEVELOPED IN A LATER PHASE.

UM, THE PROPOSED PROJECT AND DESIGN STANDARDS THAT THE, UM, THAT THIS TEAM AS WELL AS STAFF, UH, HAVE DEVELOPED ARE NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THE ZONING CODE REQUIREMENTS.

SO I'LL FLIP THROUGH.

UH, SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT MASONRY COMPONENT.

UH, THIS IS ONE OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WILL, UH, FRONT, UH, EXECUTIVE.

THESE ARE THE PROPOSED RENDERINGS.

SO IT DOES HAVE A CONTEMPORARY FEEL.

UH, THIS IS THE ELEVATION OF THE, UM, COMMUNITY ROOM, THE POOL ROOM.

UH, THESE ARE THE APARTMENT, UM, APARTMENTS THAT ARE TOWARDS THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CREEK CLOSER TO THE, TO THE RESIDENTIAL, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH.

THEY HAVE A TRADITIONAL APARTMENT, UH, UM, FIELD TO THEM AS FAR AS THE ROOF LINES.

UH, AND THESE ARE THE GARAGES THAT WOULD, UH, THAT ARE ALONG THE NORTH EDGE OF THE PROPERTY.

SO THE LIST OF USES THAT WOULD BE RECORDED AS PART OF THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN, UH, IS MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN THE PERMITTED, UH, THAN THE, UH, PLAN MIX USE DISTRICT, UH, HAS AT THE, HAS CURRENTLY.

UM, THEY, UH, TOOK A LOT OF INPUT FROM, FROM STAFF.

IT DOES LIMIT THE RESIDENTIAL, UH, DEVELOPMENT TO 320 UNITS.

THERE'S ALSO A LIST OF PROHIBITED USES ON THE SITE ON THIS SITE, INCLUDING CONVENIENCE STORE, GAS STATION, OUTDOOR SALES AND STORAGE, OR OTHER AUTO ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS.

UH, AS DETERMINED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AS I MENTIONED, BECAUSE OF THE STREAM AND, AND SOME OF THE OTHER DESIGN OR THE D NATURAL FEATURES, THE DEVELOPMENT PRESERVES THAT, UH, THAT STREAM FEATURE AND HAS 54% OPEN SPACE, 25% IS REQUIRED BY THE CODE.

UM, THE ACCESS OF THE INGRESS AND EGRESS POINTS ARE ALIGNED WITH THOSE

[00:50:01]

EXISTING INTERSECTIONS ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.

THE TRAFFIC STUDY INDICATES THAT NO ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED OR RECOMMENDED AS FAR AS RIGHT TURN LANE.

THERE'S EXISTING, UM, EASTBOUND WESTBOUND LEFT TURN LANE.

SO THERE'S A LEFT TURN LANE THAT THAT ALREADY EXISTS.

BUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY DOES NOT WARRANT OR SHOWS THAT A, A DECELERATION LANE, A RIGHT TURN LANE IS NOT NECESSARY AT, IF AT SOME DATE THERE IS ADDITIONAL, UM, TRAFFIC OR ROAD, UM, CAPACITY NEEDED ALONG EXECUTIVE THERE IS RIGHT AWAY AND AVAILABLE RIGHT AWAY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EXECUTIVE FOR US TO, TO ADD A LANE.

UM, THE, THE ROSE DEVELOPMENT WAS SET BACK FAR ENOUGH THAT WE COULD A, ADD A LANE IN THE FUTURE.

THE OTHER CHALLENGE WITH THE, UH, THE DROPDOWN LANES, UM, IS THAT, UH, AGAIN, WITH THAT, WITH THAT STREAM FEATURE, THE, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE, OF THE SITE IS, IS REALLY CONSTRAINED FROM A, FROM A DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE AS FAR AS PARKING AND CERT CIRCULATION.

UH, THE PARKING AREAS ARE WELL DELINEATED.

UM, THEY'RE CLUSTERED AND PROVIDE CONVENIENT ACCESS TO THE, TO THE RESIDENTS.

THERE'S SIDEWALKS PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.

THE DEVELOPER IS ALSO PROPOSING A 10 FOOT MULTI-USE PATH ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.

UM, YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEXT PRESENTATION THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE, THAT CONNECTIVITY IS A KEY FEATURE OF THE, UH, NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THIS DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING THAT 10 FOOT, UH, MULTI-USE PATH.

WE, IF THIS MOVES FORWARD LIKE THIS, WE WOULD CARRY THAT SAME, UM, 10 FOOT PATH ON THE NEXT DEVELOPMENT TO THE EAST SO THAT WE BEGIN TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION TO, UM, BOTH BRANT AND, UH, AND, UH, CARE, UH, CARRIAGE HILL METRO PARK.

SO THE FACADES ARE ARTICULATED IN, UH, IN A WAY TO, UM, REDUCE LARGE, UH, UNBROKEN WALL AREAS.

UH, AS FAR AS THE BUILDING MATERIALS, THERE IS A, THERE'S A PREFERENCE OR AN EMPHASIS ON MASON AREA ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.

SO 50% OF THE WALL SURFACE ON THOSE BUILDINGS ALONG, UH, EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD ARE MASONRY, UH, EITHER STONE OR BRICK CULTURED STONE OR CULTURED BRICK.

UH, AND THEN 15% MASONRY.

UH, ON THE BACK, UH, SIDE, THE REMAINDER OF THE BUILDINGS, UH, ON THE SITE ONES THAT ARE LESS VISIBLE FROM PUBLIC ROADS, UH, WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED, THERE WILL BE A MINIMUM OF TWO DISTINCT BUILDING MATERIALS, UH, ON THOSE, ON EACH OF THOSE BUILDINGS.

SO THIS IS ONE OF THE BUILDING EXAMPLES THAT WOULD FRONT, UH, EXECUTIVE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A, UH, SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF, OF, OF STONE, UH, LOOK, UH, COMPARED TO THE LAP SIDING.

AGAIN, UH, A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON THE STONE FOR THE RESIDENT AMENITIES BUILDING.

THIS WOULD ALSO BE, UH, UH, QUITE VISIBLE FROM EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.

AS FAR AS LANDSCAPING, UH, WE ARE REQUIRING STREET TREES ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD AT 35 FOOT INTERVALS.

UM, THERE IS WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED AS A GENERAL, UH, TREE PLANNING, UH, REQUIREMENTS OF ONE PER 10 PARKING SPACES.

WE ARE GONNA WORK ON THE NORTHERN BUFFER, UM, AND THAT, THAT SPACING AND SCREENING, UH, AS PART OF THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW.

SO THE CODE REQUIRES AN 80% OPACITY BUFFER, UH, UP TO SIX FEET TALL.

AND THAT CAN BE DONE BY FENCE OR MOUNDING.

UM, THE SITE GRADING'S GONNA IMPACT THE EXEC, EXEC, EXCUSE ME, THE EXISTING VEGETATION.

THERE IS ALSO A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MATURE TREES ALONG THAT NORTH, UH, END.

UH, WHEN I WASHED THE SITE IN THE WINTER, NONE OF THE LEAVES WERE, UH, EMERGING, SO IT WAS HARD TO SEE WHAT TREES WERE ALIVE, WHICH ONES ARE DEAD, WHICH ONES ARE WORTH, UH, SAVING.

THE, UM, HERE'S AN EXAMPLE.

YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE NORTH EDGE OF THE PROPERTY.

UM, THERE IS, WE AS A PLANNING, UH, DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS MANY OF THESE MATURE TREES REMAIN AS POSSIBLE.

THE DEVELOPER RIGHT NOW IS OUT DOING A TREE SURVEY, UM, AND, AND LOOKING TO SEE WHICH ONE OF THE, HOW MUCH OF THIS CAN BE, UH, CAN BE PRESERVED.

UH, AND SO WE WANTED TO WORK ON THAT, UH, THAT SCREENING AND BUFFERING DURING THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT, UM, PHASE.

AND WE'VE TALKED A ABOUT A MIXTURE OF, OF, SO THERE'LL BE THE, THERE'LL BE THE GARAGES, UH, AND THEN CLUSTERING PLANTINGS, UH, BETWEEN THE GARAGE OPENINGS, BUT AGAIN, MAINTAINING AS MUCH OF, OF THE NATURAL FEATURES ON SITE AS POSSIBLE.

HERE'S THE TREE LINE.

LOOKING TO THE EAST.

AS FAR AS PUBLIC COMMENTS, UM, BEFORE THE PLANTING COMMISSION, UM, MEETING, WE RECEIVED ONE EMAIL FROM A RESIDENT THAT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC, UH, IMPACTS AND RECOMMENDED A TRAFFIC STUDY, WHICH THE DEVELOPER HAD ALREADY COMPLETED.

UH, THERE WERE SIX RESIDENTS THAT SPOKEN OPPOSITION OF THE DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS RANGED FROM NOISE OF

[00:55:01]

THE ROSE AND THE IMPACT THAT THAT MIGHT HAVE ON FUTURE RESIDENTS TRAFFIC, WHICH YOU'VE HEARD TODAY.

UH, MAINTAINING AND PRESERVING AS MANY OF THE MATURE TREES ALONG THAT NORTH PROPERTY LINE, WHICH STAFF IS IN AGREEMENT WITH AS LONG AS JUST GENERAL CONCERNS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT, UH, IN, IN THE CITY OVERALL, STAFF IS FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE REZONING, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

UH, THE STANDARDS AND THE SITE PLAN PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING CODE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

UH, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING OF THIS PARCEL FROM P E P TO PLAN MIXED USE, AND, UH, APPROVAL OF THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED FOUR TO ONE TO APPROVE THE REZONING AND BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH TWO CONDITIONS.

ONE, THAT THE, UH, BASIC, WELL, ONE IS THE CONDITION IS THAT THE, UM, THE REGULATIONS ARE THOSE THAT WERE SUBMITTED WITH THE APPLICATION ON JANUARY 30TH.

THAT'S THE DESIGN GUIDELINES THAT WERE A PART OF THE APPLICATION.

UH, AND THEN THE NORTHERN PROPERTY BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS WILL BE DETERMINED DURING THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW, CUZ THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES TO THAT NORTH END, TO THAT NORTH, UH, LINE.

SO, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF ME? THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS HERE AS WELL, UM, TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OF THEM.

SO WE'LL GET TO COUNSEL, KIND OF, I'M JUST GONNA FOLLOW ALONG THE ORDER OF, OF THE PUBLIC HEARING DOCUMENT, AND THEN WE'LL GET TO THE POINT FOR ANY COUNSEL QUESTIONNAIRES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WE WILL, UM, NEXT WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO REPRESENTATIVE OF METROPOLITAN HOLDINGS TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE.

SO, UH, I KNOW, UH, THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM METROPOLITAN IS HERE, SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING ADDITIONAL YOU'D LIKE TO ADD NOW WOULD BE NOW WOULD BE THE TIME.

GOOD EVENING.

MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING US THIS EVENING, UH, BEFORE YOU AS A, A PROPOSAL FOR A PLAN THAT WE THINK IS PRETTY HIGHLY CONSISTENT WITH A LOT OF THE HIGH QUALITY WORK WE'VE ALREADY DONE IN YOUR COMMUNITY HERE THIS EVENING.

UH, AND, AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STAND BEHIND.

UM, WE TAKE PRIDE IN SORT OF ACKNOWLEDGING THIS SITE IS UNIQUE, HAS A LOT OF FEATURES.

WE CAN REALLY ADDRESS COMPONENTS OF THIS SITE IN A INTERESTING WAY.

IT'S, IT IS DIFFERENT FROM OUR OTHER PROJECT DOWN THE ROAD AT PARKVIEW.

UM, BUT WE, UH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THIS NEXT PATH FORWARD, WORKING THROUGH TO FINAL DESIGN.

UM, I ALWAYS SAY AND REMIND FOLKS, INCLUDING COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THESE ARE A, A TWO-PART PROCESS AND A TWO-STEP PROCESS.

AND THERE'S ALWAYS SORT OF A SECOND BITE AT THE APPLE, IF YOU WILL, TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY GETS WHAT THEY DESERVE AND WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR.

UM, ULTIMATELY WE LOOK FORWARD TO ADDRESSING SOME OF THE CONCERNS WE HEARD.

UH, WE ACTUALLY ARE EMBRACING THE FACT THAT IT IS SO CLOSE TO, UM, THE ROSE.

IN FACT, WE, WE HAVE AN INTERESTING NAME FOR THE PROJECT.

WE'D LIKE TO CALL IT REVERB, WHICH ACTUALLY AND, UH, VERY SUBTLY WORK ON THEMES OF ART AND IMAGERY AND COLOR AND INCOR INCORPORATE UNIQUE THINGS IN THE PROPERTY INSIDE OUR CLUBHOUSE AND AMONGST THEIR AMENITIES THAT ARE INDIRECT LINKS TO MUSIC, BUT HAVE A, UH, AN INTERESTING SENSITIVITY OR, OR A RESPONSE TO THE ROSE, UH, AND KIND OF MAKE A NICE LITTLE SPIN ON IT.

UM, WE BELIEVE THAT THE PROJECT WILL ACTUALLY BE VERY APPEALING TO FUTURE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE A DESIRABILITY OR HAVE A DESIRE TO LIVE SO CLOSE TO, UH, SUCH A UNIQUE AMENITY, UH, AND TO LOTS OF GOOD RETAIL, LOTS OF RESTAURANT OPPORTUNITIES.

AND WE ALSO HOPE TO BE THAT CATALYST FOR MORE FUTURE HOUSE TO, UH, ROOFTOPS, UH, BUT ALSO SPAWN MORE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY ALONG THAT STRETCH.

UM, AND THIS DAY AND AGE, WE ALL KNOW THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, NOT A, IF YOU BUILD, THEY WILL COME FROM THE RETAIL PERSPECTIVE.

YOU'VE GOTTA PUT THE ROOFTOPS THERE FIRST IN ORDER TO CONTINUE WITH ALL THE OTHER GREAT THINGS.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS JUST BEING REALLY KIND OF THE FIRST CATALYTIC PIECE TO GETTING THE DISTRICT, UH, TO, UH, ITS NEXT STEP AND, AND ITS LIFESPAN AND BEING REALLY PART OF THAT TRANSITION, UH, AND MAKING THIS SORT OF A UNIQUE DESTINATION HERE ALONG EXECUTIVE DRIVE.

UM, OUR DESIGN TEAM IS HERE AS WELL AS MY COLLEAGUE JAMIE OVERLAKE, WHO CAN FILL YOU IN ON, ON OTHER DETAILS.

UM, BUT WE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALREADY OUT THERE.

WE HAD OUR, UM, TREE SURVEYOR OUT THERE LOOKING AT ALL THE TREES, EVEN DETERMINING, IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY COULD WE SAVE EVERY SINGLE TREE OUT THERE THAT THE RESIDENT HAS CONCERN ABOUT.

ON THAT NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE, WE, AGAIN, BEING DEVELOPERS, WE, WE HEAR THE CONCERNS, WE WANNA RESPOND TO THEM.

WE'RE BEING VERY SENSITIVE ABOUT GRADING ON THE SITE.

WE'RE BEING VERY SENSITIVE TO PROTECTING THE STREAMS, NOT ONLY THE STREAM THAT'S THERE, BUT THEN ALSO ADDING TO IT, MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE GOT ATTRACTIVE PONDS THAT LOOK LIKE NICE FEATURES, UH, ON THIS SITE THAT HAVE A LOT OF VEGETATION.

UM, AND WE THINK PART OF THIS VERY OPEN SPACE PARK-LIKE SETTING WILL, WILL ALSO BE VERY UNIQUE AND VERY APPEALING TO FUTURE PEOPLE AT THIS DEVELOPMENT.

BUT I'M NOT GONNA BELABOR THIS.

UH, WE'RE HERE FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

UH, AND, UH, ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL COMMENTS MY TEAM MAY HAVE AS WELL HERE WE'RE, WE'RE READY FOR YOU.

[01:00:02]

SO NEXT I WOULD CALL THE LAW DIRECTOR TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IF ANY IS AVAILABLE.

NOTHING FURTHER HERE MATTER.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

AND NEXT I WOULD ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL OF THIS PARTICULAR ZONING ISSUE.

NEXT I WANNA ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AGAINST THE APPROVAL OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING? YES, GOOD EVENING AGAIN, KEVIN CARTER.

UH, COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE.

UM, FOR THE STRUCTURE APPEARANCE, UH, YOU SAID ALONG EXECUTIVE IT'S GOING TO BE 50% MASONRY, WHEREAS BEHIND IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE 15%.

I THOUGHT THE CITY HAD ITS OWN WHERE ALL STRUCTURES HAD TO BE KIND OF LIKE MARION MEADOWS.

SO THE QUESTION I HAVE THEN IS, TO ME WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING HERE IS KIND OF LIKE A BOOK COVER.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE THE OUTSIDE LOOK NICE, BUT WHAT'S BEHIND, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT MEETING OUR STANDARDS, WHERE IT'S STILL GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PERMIT, I DON'T KNOW IF I AM RIGHT OR WRONG, I'M ASKING THE QUESTION ON THAT.

SO, THE, UM, IN THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, THE, THE AMOUNT OF MASONRY IS REALLY DETERMINED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

UH, AND, AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT.

IF YOU ARE BUILDING IN A NON-PLANNED DISTRICT, SO AN R ONE THROUGH AN R SEVEN, UH, THE CODE STATES THAT, UH, SINGLE STORY STRUCTURES OR SINGLE STORY, UH, RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS NEED TO BE 100% MASONRY UH, AND MULTI-STORY STRUCTURES.

THE FIRST FLOOR NEEDS TO BE, UM, 100% MASONRY, BUT THE UPPER LEVELS, UH, THERE IS NO MATERIAL REQUIREMENT.

BUT IN A PLAN DISTRICT SUCH AS THIS, UH, THE MASONRY REQUIREMENTS ARE SET DURING THIS PHASE, DURING THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN PHASE.

AND MOST OF THEM, SINCE THAT I HAVE BEEN, UH, A PART OF, UH, ARE AROUND 25%, GIVE OR TAKE.

SO ARE WE BEING LENIENT WITH 15% OR SHOULD WE HOLD THEM TO THE HIGHER STANDARD? I'M, I, I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU.

SO FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, WHAT PLANNING FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS? UH, IN, IN MY TENURE HERE, UH, THE SINGLE, THE FIRST FLOOR, ABOUT 50% OF THE FIRST FLOOR HAS BEEN MASONRY.

UH, EITHER CULTURED BRICK LIKE THIS, FULL, FULL DEPTH BRICK OR, OR CULTURED STONE.

UH, FOR MULTI-FAMILY STRUCTURES, IT HAS RANGED ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 15 TO ABOUT 20%, JUST DEPENDING ON WHERE THE LOCATION IS.

AND THEN REGARDING THE TRAFFIC STUDY, THE QUESTION I HAVE ON THE STUDY IS, WHEN WAS THE STUDY ACTUALLY COMPLETED? BECAUSE WHAT I DO SEE, OR WHAT I'VE HEARD ON SOME OF OUR OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, THEY USED A TRAFFIC STUDY FROM BACK 2014, 2015, FUDGED IT WITH EXPECTED GROWTH PERCENTAGES TO COME UP WITH THE RESULTS OF A TRAFFIC STUDY.

AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THIS TRAFFIC STUDY, I SAW COUNTS BEING TAKEN ON ONE DAY AND ONE DAY ONLY DRIVING THAT AREA AS OFTEN AS I DRIVE IT THURSDAY THE NINTH, OF WHICH I THINK IS THE DAY THAT THEY USE, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A BAD DAY, BUT FRIDAY THE 10TH, OR TUESDAY THE 13TH, IT WAS HORRIFIC BECAUSE TRAFFIC IN THAT AREA IS ALREADY A NIGHTMARE.

AND NOW, IN ADDITION TO WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY WITH HORIZON, WHEN THEY PROPOSED, I THINK IT WAS 130 HOMES, WE DECLINED THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS OUR ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT.

NOW IT'S 520 APARTMENTS.

AND TO FURTHER BUILD OUR ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, NOW WE'RE GOING TO SAY, LET'S BUILD ANOTHER 320 APARTMENTS.

YOU KNOW, WE NEED ROOFTOPS NOW, AND I DON'T MEAN TO BE BLENDING ON HERE.

I, I WANNA SAY BEFORE I FORGET IT, WE NEED ROOFTOPS TO BRING BUSINESSES.

THE PROBLEM IS WE'RE BUILDING ALL THE ROOFTOPS AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLACE LEFT FOR THE BUSINESS.

SO, REAL QUICK.

SO YEAH, KEVIN, I, I MEAN, I, I KNOW YOU GOT A LOT OF, UH, COMMENTS AND CONCERNS, BUT, UH, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO, ON, ON, ON THESE CASES, UH, IF THIS PART OF THE PUBLIC HEARING IS FOR YOU TO JUST, TO, TO VOICE AN OPPOSITION.

AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING WHERE THESE PARTICULAR ITEMS WERE DISCUSSED.

UM, AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE WAS, OR, OR IN SUPPORT OF IT.

SO THE STAGE THAT WE'RE AT NOW.

SO THESE QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS SHOULD HAVE ALL TAKEN PLACE, OR, OR YOUR CONCERNS

[01:05:01]

WHEN WE GET BACK NOW.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, IF THE, WHAT WE'RE APPROVING IS THE ZONING.

SO IF THERE'S ISSUES AND CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE ALONG THOSE LINES OF MASONRY, SAY IT'S THE AMOUNT OF TREES THAT ARE PLANTED, THE LANDSCAPING, WHATEVER THOSE OTHER ISSUES ARE, IF THE ZONING IS APPROVED, THERE WILL BE A DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WILL GO BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION, WHERE THEY'LL BE PUBLIC MEETINGS.

AND EVERYBODY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK TO THE DETAILED PLAN AND DISCUSS SOME OF THE EXACT THINGS THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT.

THE TRAFFIC STUDY, TRAFFIC PLAN, PARKING, LANDSCAPING, BUILDING MATERIALS, ALL THOSE THINGS.

ALL RIGHT.

SO TRAFFIC CON, THE, MY QUESTION ON THE TRAFFIC STUDY CAN BE ANSWERED HERE NOW AT, I THINK AT, AT THE, AT THE DETAILED PLAN OF PLANNING COMMISSION, IF THOSE ARE THE CONCERNS.

THIS IS GENERAL.

PUBLIC HEARING FOR OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT OF THE REZONING, NOT OF ANY OF THE DETAILED SPECIFICS OF THE ACTUAL PROPERTY.

SO I'M, SO, I'M, I'M, I'M ALL RIGHT.

SO THEN TRYING TO GIVE AS MUCH LENIENCY AS POSSIBLE, CUZ I THINK IF YOU HAVE VALID CONCERNS, OKAY.

I JUST, I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THAT STUFF IS VOICED AT THE PROPER PLACE WHERE THOSE THINGS ARE GONNA BE DECIDED ON, BECAUSE COUNCIL DOESN'T DECIDE ON, UH, DEVELOPMENTAL DETAILS AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT IS THE ROLE OF PLANNING COMMISSION.

WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS SIMPLY THE REZONING FROM THE PLANNED EMPLOYMENT PARK TO A PLANNED MULTIFAMILY OR THE PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.

SO THE ZONING ISSUE IS WHAT'S AT HERE, WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.

SO, AND YES.

AND THE, AND THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

SO IT'S, IT'S COMBINED LEGISLATION, SO THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE DETAILED PLAN THAT GOES INTO ALL THOSE DETAILS OF THE BUILDING MATERIALS, ALL THOSE THINGS AT THAT NEXT PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND THE DETAILED PENS BACK, THAT'S WHERE THAT, THAT'S WHERE ALL THOSE OPINIONS WHERE YOU HAD VOICED THOSE TO, TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON WHAT THE, WHAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE HEARING, WHAT THOSE NEGOTIATIONS HAPPEN.

CUZ WE'VE SEEN IT HERE ALL THE TIME WHERE THOSE MEETINGS HAPPEN AND THE DETAILED STAGE, AND THEN THE DEVELOPER NEGOTIATES WITH, WITH HOMEOWNERS AND RESIDENCES THAT, THAT ARE AROUND THERE AND THEY COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION WILL APPROVE.

ALL RIGHT.

THEN THE LAST TIME THAT I WANNA SPEAK ON WOULD ACTUALLY THEN GO IN THE NEXT PHASE WHERE YOU ACTUALLY BRING IT UP FOR THE ORDINANCE FOR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL.

SO I, I'M DONE FOR NOW THEN.

THANK, APPRECIATE YOU UNDERSTAND.

THANKS SIR.

DO YOU HAVE A COPY OF THIS? NO, SIR.

SO NEXT I'D CALL MEMBERS OF, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS PARTICULAR ZONING ISSUE? OKAY.

NEXT, I'D CALL MEMBERS OF THE RIGHTS CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR TO ADD ANY PER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT THEY WOULD LIKE.

SO, NANCY, I DO, UM, AND IT, SINCE AARON, I'M GONNA DIGRESS FIRST RIGHT OFF THE BAT, UH, SINCE AARON BROUGHT UP THE TRAFFIC ISSUE, I JUST HAVE A QUESTION MM-HMM.

, UM, BECAUSE WHEN IT GETS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN, I DON'T, DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TOO LATE FOR AN ANSWER.

SO IF, UM, IF THERE IS EASEMENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EXECUTIVE TO WIDEN THE ROAD FOR ANY EXTRA LOAD, IF I UNDERSTOOD YOU CORRECTLY, IS THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP WITH, WITH THE LEFT TURN OFF A BRAND.

SO I'M, I'M NOT SO THE, THE TRAFFIC STUDY REALLY ONLY TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION KIND OF THE FRONTAGE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

I, THE TRAFFIC STUDY AFFECTS THE FRONTAGE OF THE DEVELOPMENT IT TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION TRAFFIC FEEDING FROM, FROM OTHER LOCATIONS.

UH, A TYPICAL TRAFFIC STUDY IS DONE FOR A 24 HOUR PERIOD.

IN SOME CASES IT'LL BE DONE OVER MULTIPLE DAYS.

IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE, ON WHERE THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND THE, AND THE NATURE OF THE, OF THE ROADWAY.

IN THIS CASE, IT WAS 24 HOURS ON A THURSDAY.

UM, WHAT THE TRAFFIC STUDY FOR THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IS REALLY DETERMINING IS WHETHER THERE SHOULD BE RIGHT TURN OR LEFT TURN LANES INTO THE DEVELOPMENT TO RELIEVE PRESSURE OFF THE EAST WEST PASSING BY TRAFFIC.

IN THIS CASE, THERE ALREADY IS A CENTER TURN LANE FOR LEFT TURN, AND THE TRAFFIC STUDY DIDN'T SHOW A NEED FOR DECELERATION LANES, UH, INTO THE RESIDENTIAL PERIOD.

THAT MIGHT NOT HOLD FOR THE CASE WHEN WE GET TO THE POINT FOR THE COMMERCIAL AREA, BOTH TO THE, TO THE, UM, UH, EAST OF THIS SITE.

BUT THAT'S, THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED BECAUSE, UH, THIS, IN, IN REALITY, THIS DOESN'T GENERATE A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

ARE, IS THAT NORMAL FOR A TRAFFIC STUDY? I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE COMPREHENSIVE THAN ONE POINT IN TIME.

[01:10:01]

TYPICALLY, IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHERE IT IS.

THIS IS, YOU KNOW, IT IT, IT TAKES INTO COUNT THE, THE CONTEXT OF THE TYPE OF OF STREET.

UM, SO WE WOULD DO A DIFFERENT TYPE OF STUDY ON SAY, BRANDT OR OLD TROY PIKE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT MORE VOLUME GOING BY THAN THEIR CURRENT, THAN THERE IS ON EXECUTIVE.

WE WOULD ALSO NOT DO IT DURING, UH, A ROSE PERFORMANCE PERIOD BECAUSE THAT COMPLETELY INFLATES THE NUMBERS BEYOND WHAT'S REASONABLE.

BUT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION MR. CARTER AND THIS LADY'S COMMENTS, I'M WONDERING, BRIAN, IF IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD LOOK AT THE TIMING OF THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT GOES OFF OF GRANT AT EXECUTIVE TO SEE IF MAYBE THEY'RE ON CERTAIN DAYS THERE MIGHT BE PROBLEMS THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED BY CHANGING THE TIMING ON THAT LIGHT.

AND, AND RUSS AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT BRANT AND EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS OLD TROY PIKE AND THOSE ISSUES AS WELL.

SO THERE'LL BE ANOTHER DEVELOPMENT COMING FORWARD TO YOU.

UM, THE SHEETS DEVELOPMENT, UH, AND WE'VE BEEN HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM AND THEIR, UH, DESIGN TEAM REGARDING THE, THE, TO TO HER, TO THE HER ISSUE, THE STACKING QUANTITY AND IN ITS LOCATION, UH, FOR LEFT TURN INTO BOTH EXECUTIVE AND THEN LEFT TURN INTO THAT PROPERTY OFF OF EXECUTIVE.

SO WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS AS WELL ON THE BRANT PIKE ISSUE.

WELL, ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, UM, NANCY, JUST REAL QUICK YEAH, BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT UP TRAFFIC.

I'M ACTUALLY, I WANT TO ASK KEVIN TO COME BACK UP AND POSE YOUR TRAFFIC ISSUES OR WHAT YOU DID WANNA TALK ABOUT TRAFFIC SINCE THIS IS KIND OF WHERE THE DISCUSSION IS HEADED UNLESS THERE HAS ALREADY ADDRESSED THEM.

IF YOU HAVE OTHER TRAFFIC CONCERNS, PLEASE GO AHEAD.

LET'S ADDRESS THE ACCURACY IN THE VALIDITY OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY, GIVEN THE ISSUES THAT WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE NOW CURRENTLY ON BRANT AND TROY, GIVEN THE FACILITIES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED TO BE CONSTRUCTED, I THINK THE TRAFFIC STUDY NEEDS TO GO A LOT MORE IN DEPTH TO GIVE US A BETTER, CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT WE CAN POSSIBLY SEE.

IT BOTHERS ME, AND AGAIN, THAT'S WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION, BUT I KNOW FOR THE BROAD REACH, THEY USED A STUDY FROM 2014 AND THEN MASSAGED IT WITH ANTICIPATED GROWTH.

WHETHER THAT ANTICIPATED GROWTH IS WHAT WE SAW IN REALITY OR NOT, IS QUESTION NUMBER ONE.

AND THEN TWO, WHEN THEY COME IN WITH A TRAFFIC STUDY AND THEY PICK ONE DAY, I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE SPANNED UP OVER MULTIPLE DAYS.

BECAUSE ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS THAT POP UP IN MY MIND IS IF I'M THE DEVELOPER AND I WANT A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE, I WANT THAT TRAFFIC STUDY TO MEET WHAT I WANT.

SO GO OUT AND DO SOME DAYS AND THEN PICK THE BEST DAY AND PRESENT IT TO ME.

THAT'S A CONCERN THAT I HAVE AND THAT'S WHY WHEN I HEAR THE TRAFFIC STUDIES, BUT I SEE WHAT REALITY IS, I SEE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PICTURES.

SO JUST SO I CAN TOUCH ON THAT.

SO ALL OF THE, ALL OF THE TRAFFIC STUDIES ARE DONE BASED ON ODOT APPROVED PROCESSES BECAUSE THEY FEED INTO O DOTS WHETHER OR NOT A RIGHT TURN LANE IS JUSTIFIED OR A LEFT TURN LANE IS JUSTIFIED.

SO THEY ALL FOLLOW THE, ESSENTIALLY THE SAME PROCESS IN THIS CASE.

UM, THEY USED O DOT'S, UH, FORECAST THEIR TRAFFIC FORECASTING SYSTEM, WHICH SHOWED A, A GROWTH AREA, A GROWTH, UM, INCREASE OF HALF A PERCENT ANNUALLY.

BUT THAT'S O DOT'S NUMBERS.

THAT'S NOT THE, THE NUMBER THAT THE, THAT THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER PICKED OUT A THIN AIR.

THEY'RE USING IT OFF OF O OTS SYSTEM, WHICH EVERYBODY USE.

THAT'S THE STANDARD.

NOW, WHETHER IT'S THE RIGHT STANDARD, MAYBE IT'S A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION, BUT THAT'S THE STANDARD THAT EVERYBODY USES.

THAN, UM, YOU KNOW, LEAVE IT THERE TO DIE.

ALL RIGHT.

THANKS AARON.

NANCY, SO GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE YOUR COMMENTS.

YES, THANK YOU.

UM, THE, AND I COMMEND YOU FOLKS FOR BEING, UH, UH, ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS FOR, UH, TRYING TO SAVE THOSE TREES.

HAVING BUILT A HOME IN AN AREA THAT WAS A WOODED LOT BEFORE THE HOUSE IS PUT IN.

A LOT OF TREES CAN GET DAMAGED DURING CONSTRUCTION.

AND WHILE WHEN THE HOU WHEN THE PROPERTY, THE BUILDINGS ARE DONE, THEY LOOK OKAY, BUT A COUPLE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, THEY'RE DEAD FROM THE STRESS.

SO I'M, I'M, I, I HOPE THAT THAT IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION SO THAT IF THE POTENTIAL IS THERE AND YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO DO YOUR JOB, THAT THE POTENTIAL IS THE, THAT'S THERE, THAT A TREE HAS BEEN HIT WITH EQUIPMENT OR WHATEVER ELSE, AND IT'S CHANCES FOR LONGEVITY ARE PRETTY SLIM.

I HOPE YOU WOULD TAKE THAT TREE OUT RATHER

[01:15:01]

UH, WE HAD ONE LEFT IN OUR YARD THAT WAS LIKE A SLEEPY HOLLOW TREE, AND THANK GOD WHEN THE NEIGHBOR BUILT THEIR HOUSE, THEY HAD TO TAKE IT OUT.

THAT WOULD'VE COST A FORTUNE TO TAKE DOWN.

SO, UM, THE, THE, THE MAIN QUESTION THAT I HAVE FROM WHAT YOU MENTIONED IS THAT YOU FOLKS WOULD BE ME MAINTAINING THAT STREAM.

I'M NOT HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WHILE ON COUNCIL WITH HAVING A DEVELOPER MAINTAIN A STREAM AFTER THEY'RE GONE.

SO EXACTLY HOW WOULD THAT WORK? YEAH, SO SOME OF THE CONSERVATION AREAS THAT WE'VE PUT IN PLACE IN THE PAST ARE NOW KIND OF STARTING TO BITE US.

UH, AND I WILL TAKE AN, I'LL USE AN EXAMPLE.

THE, UH, IN FRONT OF TJ CHUMPS, WHAT WAS A STREAM PRESERVATION AREA, NOW LOOKS LIKE AN OVERGROWN JUST MESS.

SAME WAY WITH THE STREAM PRESERVATION AREA IN FRONT OF WALMART.

UH, THAT CONSERVATION AREA LOOKS LIKE A MESS.

UM, DURING THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WE WILL BE TALKING TO THE DEVELOPER ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE WAYS OF MAINTAINING THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL AS WELL AS THE EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE SO THAT WE AVOID, UM, THOSE THINGS IN THE FUTURE.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THE WAY I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE THESE CONSERVATION AREAS, I BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS FEEL THEY CAN'T DO ANY MAINTENANCE AND SO THEY HAVEN'T TOUCHED IT.

UH, AND SO THAT WILL BE AS PART OF THE DETAIL DEVELOPMENT PHASE AND THE DECISION ORDER, THE LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE AND EXPECTATIONS THAT WE WOULD HAVE.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I DON'T HAVE A GREAT ANSWER OTHER THAN I KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE AND WE'RE GONNA ADDRESS IT.

THANKS NANCY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, KATE.

THANK YOU MAYOR.

UM, I JUST HAD A COUPLE COMMENTS, SO CONTINUE ON WHAT NA, NANCY SAID.

, CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT TRASH PICKUP IS INCLUDED IN THE STREAM MAINTENANCE AND THE WATERWAYS? BECAUSE IN OTHER SPOTS AROUND TOWN IT'S DERELICT? YEP.

SO I'M ALSO ABOUT THE TREE BUFFERING.

IF WE COULD TRY TO LEAVE AS ME FULL SIZE TREES AS POSSIBLE, THAT'D BE GREAT.

AND I DIDN'T HEAR A TIMELINE.

WHEN DID YOU GUYS WANNA START AND WHEN DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD PROJECT WOULD BE FINISHED? IF YOU COULD SPEAK, SOMEBODY COULD SPEAK TO THAT.

BY THE WAY, JUST NOT TO BEAT THE DEAD HORSE HERE, BUT ON TREES, THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL IN OUR MIND IS THERE ARE ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED A NUMBER OF SIX EIGHT INCH AND EVEN 20 INCH TREES ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE.

WE'RE ALL AWARE THAT WE CAN'T REPLACE THOSE IN OUR LIFETIME, SO WE DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE PROTECT THOSE.

ADDITIONALLY WITH, I THINK ONE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION CAVEATS, UH, THAT WE CAME AWAY WITH WAS TO REALLY STUDY THOSE, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE OFFERING SUBSTANTIAL SETBACK FOR EVEN PROTECTING THE ROOTS, NOT JUST SAVING THE TREE.

IT'S ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS ARE, DON'T USE THE BULLDOZER AND GO ACROSS THE ROOTS THAT COME OUT 20 FEET FROM A TREE.

SO WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN LOOKING AT A LOT OF CROSS SECTIONS, NOT JUST ON PLANTS, CROSS SECTIONS OF HOW WE EVEN LOOK AT HOW THE EXISTING GRADING REMAINS INTACT ALONG THAT NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE.

AND HOW WE REALLY DO TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM THE, FROM THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

CUZ REALLY ANYTHING WE TRY TO BUILD AS A BUFFER WILL NOT BE AS NICE AS WHAT IS ALREADY THERE.

SO WE REALLY WANT TO LEAVE THAT INTACT.

YEP.

UH, AS FAR AS THE TIMELINE GOES, IT IS CURRENTLY OUR ANTICIPATED TIMELINE.

WE WOULD LIKE TO ADVANCE SOMETHING IF FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE IN SEPTEMBER.

UH, AND IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 22 MONTHS OR SO TO 24 MONTHS TO, TO ACTUALLY COMPLETE THE ENTIRE PROJECT, UH, FRONT TO BACK.

WE WOULD BRING THE FRONT BUILDINGS ON IN A PHASED APPROACH AND, UH, MOVE PEOPLE IN AS THE BUILDINGS GET FINISHED OUT.

UM, WE HAVE EXPERIENCE, OBVIOUSLY, UH, IN THE MARKET WITH LEASING AND UNDERSTAND HOW MANY UNITS CAN COME ON TIME AND ALIGN, UM, AND, AND BE SUCCESSFUL.

WE WOULDN'T WANNA BRING THE PROJECT ENTIRELY ONLINE AT ONCE, BUT A PHASED APPROACH, UM, AS THE BUILDING'S COMPLETE THOUGH.

SO THAT'D BE ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT WE DID TO THE DEVELOPMENT DOOR AT PARKTOWN.

SO YOU, IT'D BE VERY SIMILAR AT PARKVIEW PROJECT HOW WE, WE STARTED, WE BUILT THE CLUBHOUSE, FINISH SOME OF THE FRONT UNITS AND THEN SYSTEMATICALLY WORK THROUGH THE SITE.

AND WHEN WOULD YOU DEVELOP THE FRONT, THE COMMERCIAL PART OF IT ASPECT? WHAT'S YOUR TIMELINE FOR THAT? UH, ON THE COMMERCIAL, THE FAR EASTERN END OF IT MM-HMM.

UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A, TO BE DETERMINED.

UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH A POSSIBLE, UH, RESTAURANT CONCEPT.

UM, THERE'S A LOT OF UNKNOWNS BECAUSE YOU SIT DOWN USER IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN SAY, A BREWERY USER OR, UM, ANYTHING ALONG THAT LINES.

UM, IT'S, IT'S TO BE DETERMINED REALLY UNTIL WE CAN GET PAST THIS STEP OF DETERMINING ABOUT HOW MUCH LAND IS THERE FOR A COMMERCIAL TENANT.

THEY WANNA KNOW A LOT OF PARTICULARS ABOUT THE SHAPE OF THE SITE AND INGRESS, INGRESS.

AND REALLY THIS PLANT HELPS ESTABLISH THAT AND SETS THE STAGE FOR THEM TO DO THEIR OWN SITE PLANNING AS FAR AS COMING BACK WITH THEIR SITE PLAN SPECIFIC TO HOW MANY CARS THEY NEED AND HOW MUCH SEATING AREA THEY NEED AND HOW BIG OF A BUILDING THEY NEED.

AND OKAY.

I KNOW A LOT OF OUR RESIDENTS HAVE SPOKEN TO SIT DOWN RESTAURANTS.

[01:20:01]

AND YES, ANITA, WHAT'S THE GONNA BE THE AVERAGE COST OF THESE APARTMENTS? WE DON'T HAVE OUR, OUR NOTE SHEET WITH US, UM, BUT IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE AT PARKVIEW.

WE HAVE A LONG WAITING LIST AT PARKVIEW ALREADY, UM, WHICH IS, SO THERE, THERE ARE UNITS THAT, THAT START 12, $1,300 AND, AND GO SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN THAT.

TWICE THAT.

AND THEN THE OTHER THING, ERIN, THIS IS KIND OF FOR YOU.

YOU SAID THAT 1% ON THE TRAFFIC ISSUE.

I MEAN, ARE WE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT'S, I AGREE WITH MR. CARTER, WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE KIND OF GOTTEN IN THE WORKS, CUZ THAT'S SIGNIFICANT, MORE THAN 1% INCREASE.

I MEAN, BOTH PROJECTS ARE COMING IN KIND OF AT THE SAME TIME.

SO THAT'S GOING TO REALLY, IF HORIZON DOES THEIR OWN STUDY, IT'S GOING TO KIND OF BE THE SAME AS THEIRS.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE DOING 'EM BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S A LOT MORE CARS.

SO WHEN THIS STUDY WAS DONE, THE PARTICULARS OF HORIZON LINE WASN'T WHAT OR WHAT IT WAS NOW, UH, EVOLVING WASN'T KNOWN.

THE HORIZON LINE STUDY WILL INCORPORATE THIS, SO WE'LL HAVE A BETTER PERSPECTIVE OF THE TRAFFIC, UM, ISSUES AND, AND IMPACTS AT BRANT AND, UH, EXECUTIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD INCLUDE WHAT'S PLANNED HERE AS WELL AS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSED.

, AND I THINK WE ALL HAVE A, A WARM AND FUZZY OF WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DONE? THANK YOU, MA'AM.

UH, SO HERE, LET'S SPEAK TO THE TRAFFIC FOR JUST A SECOND.

WE KNOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE, WELL, WE'VE MENTIONED TONIGHT, WAR POINTING BREWERY AND, UM, OTHER NEW DEVELOPMENTS ALONG WITH THIS ONE.

SO TO GO BACK TO YOUR EARLIER STATEMENT, YOU FEEL THAT WE DO HAVE A SOLUTION, UM, OUT THERE SOMEWHERE WHERE WE CAN ADD ANOTHER LANE TO EXECUTIVE ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF EXECUTIVE.

SO WE HAVE THE SPACE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY TO ADD ANOTHER LANE AT, AT A FUTURE POINT IN TIME WHERE IT'S WARRANTED.

UH, IF IT'S WARRANTED, THERE'S ALSO THERE, IT WOULD ALSO, THERE'S ALSO RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH ON BRANDT.

IF WE NEEDED TO ADD, LET'S SAY, A DOUBLE TURN LEFT TURN LANE INTO EXECUTIVES.

SO THERE'S, WE CAN PLAY WITH THE LANE ALIGNMENTS WITHIN THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY THAT WE HAVE.

UM, RIGHT NOW, UH, IT IS, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE IN OUR EXECUTIVE, IT'S BETWEEN FIVE AND THREE LANES MM-HMM.

, UM, JUST DEPENDING ON, ON WHERE, WHERE IT IS.

AND IN FRONT OF THIS PARTICULAR, UM, DEVELOPMENT, IT'S, IT'S THREE.

UM, BUT THERE IS OPPORTUNITY TO ADD MORE IF NECESSITY.

SO THANK YOU.

WE LIKE TO KEEP 'EM, UH, AS ODD AS POSSIBLE, SO THREE, FIVE THAT IT FLOWS BETTER.

UM, BUT THERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY HERE.

UM, AND BECAUSE I DO AGREE, I THINK WE, ALTHOUGH WE'RE LOOKING RIGHT NOW AT THIS PROPOSAL, UM, WE KNOW WE'VE GOT A LOT GOING ON UP THERE, UH, HOPEFULLY.

SO I THINK IF WE CAN KEEP THAT ON OUR FRONT BURNER, UH, POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS BEFORE WE GET TO THE PROBLEMS OF YEAH.

WOULD BE BETTER.

UM, I DO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE, THE STREAM.

IT, IT IS PRETTY INTERESTING.

UH, AS YOU KNOW, I SERVED ON PLANNING COMMISSION BEFORE, AND FOR A DEVELOPER TO COME IN AND ACTUALLY UTILIZE THAT AND WORK AROUND IT, IT SEEMS TO BE VERY UNIQUE TO ME.

AM I UNDER THE CORRECT ASSUMPTION? THEY COULD HAVE MOVED THAT STREAM HAD THEY WANTED TO.

IF THEY WANTED TO, THEY COULD HAVE.

UM, WHEN, WHEN WE CONSTRUCTED EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD, OR WHEN WE RECONSTRUCTED EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD, THERE'S A 54 INCH, I BELIEVE STORM SEWER THAT RUNS ALONG EXECUTIVE, SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN DIVERTED AND THEN PIPED EASTWARD.

UM, AND, AND, AND, AND ESSENTIALLY EXIT OUT OF, OF, UM, WELL ON THE EAST SIDE.

RIGHT.

UM, WE THINK THAT PROBABLY WOULD'VE EXASPERATED ADDITIONAL FLOODING ISSUES DOWNSTREAM.

UM, THIS ALLOWS THE WATER TO, TO PERK AND, AND BE ABSORBED, UH, NATURALLY A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN, WELL, MUCH BETTER THAN HAD THE DEVELOPER PIPED IT INTO THE STORM SYSTEM AND THEN SHOT IT, UH, EASTWARD INTO CARRIAGE, UH, TRAILS OR CARRIAGE HILL.

YEAH, I I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY UNIQUE.

I APPLAUD THE DEVELOPER, UH, UTILIZING THAT.

UM, ON YOUR, UH, PRESENTATION, AARON, YOU LISTED PROHIBITED MM-HMM.

[01:25:01]

BUT WAS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE, UH, WITH THE DEVELOPER AS FAR AS COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT? SO, SO WHAT WE'VE HEARD, AND SO I DIDN'T LIST EVERY PERMITTED USE, UM, IN, IN THE PRESENTATION, BUT CERTAINLY RESTAURANTS AND, AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES SUCH AS THAT ARE, ARE PERMITTED.

UM, FROM WHAT WE HAVE HEARD AND WHAT PLANNING COMMISSION HAS SAID, I THINK EVERYBODY IS LOOKING FOR AN UPSCALE RESTAURANT TYPE OF, OF EXPERIENCE.

UM, WHAT WAS THE DEVELOPER WAS THE, THE ONE WHO PUT FORWARD THE PROHIBITED LISTS, UM, TO HELP CONTROL THE FUTURE OF, OF THAT INVESTMENT OVER TIME.

AND, AND WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO, TO WORK THAT WAY TO CREATE THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS EXPERIENCE AND THIS SENSE OF PLACE, UH, FROM HERE, UH, EASTWARD.

EXCELLENT.

AND EVENTUALLY MAYBE, UH, WESTWARD TOO.

I GET, LIKE I SAID, I THINK THIS, THE NATURE OF EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD IS, IS EVOLVING.

GREAT.

THE, UM, UH, I HAVE JUST TWO MORE, I'M SORRY.

THE, UM, DEVELOPMENT PLAN, BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT THE DEVELOPERS PRESENTED, UH, ACTUALLY SHOWS FIVE, UH, WATER FEATURES ON IT.

UH, ONLY ONE IS DESIGNATED AS A RETENTION FEATURE.

DO YOU ENVISION THAT ALL OF THE WATER FEATURES WILL BE SOME SORT OF RETENTION DETENTION? SO YES, I DO.

SO THE, THE, THE PONDS NORTH OF THE STREAM ARE CERTAINLY FUNCTIONAL RETENTION, UM, FACILITIES TO HELP WITH THE, THE, THE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT FROM THE PARKING LOTS AND, AND THE BUILDING SERVICES.

UM, ALL OF 'EM WILL SERVE A FUNCTION.

UM, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THE FINAL DESIGN OF HOW BIG THEY NEED TO BE.

, WHERE, HOW IT IMPACTS THE STREAM, ET CETERA.

UM, BUT YES, I THINK ALL FIVE WILL, WILL BE FUNCTIONAL AND HELP METER AND, AND REDUCE FLOODING DOWNSTREAM, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE IS NOTHING THAT STOPS THE WATER FROM JUST SHEDDING INTO, INTO THAT STREAM.

THIS WILL, THIS WILL BE AN IMPROVEMENT FOR PROPERTIES BOTH TO THE NORTH AND ALSO THEN DOWNSTREAM.

AND THE VISUAL IS VERY EXCITING.

LOOKS GREAT.

UH, ONE FINAL QUESTION, AARON.

THIS IS PROBABLY, UM, JUST YOUR OPINION.

UH, WE HEARD EARLIER TONIGHT, UH, CONCERNS, UH, THAT SOME RESIDENTS HAD FILED CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, NOISE FROM THE ROSE, UH, PERHAPS BEING EXACERBATED BY THIS DEVELOPMENT.

BUT AS I LOOK AT THIS, I'M SEEING A 25 FOOT BUFFER TO THE BACK OF THE GARAGES, THEN SINGLE STORY GARAGES, MULTI-STORY BUILDINGS IN FRONT, AND, UH, WHAT APPARENTLY ARE AT LEAST MULTI-STORY, UH, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN FRONT.

MAKE SOME CORRECTIVE, UM, DESIGNS TO ACCOMMODATE IT SO THAT WE DON'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AFTERWARDS, THAT WE'RE PROACTIVE IN TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE REALLY, IF THINGS WERE FULLY DEVELOPED, WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE? YEAH.

, AM I WRONG IN ASSUMING THAT WE'RE CREATING A BETTER BUFFER FOR THE RESIDENTS NORTH OF, UH, OF THIS DEVELOPMENT BY PUTTING IN ALL THESE BUILDINGS? AND SO I THINK, SO, SO I LIVE ADJACENT TO I 75 AND WHEN THEY BUILD REBUILD I 75 THROUGH DOWNTOWN DAYTON, THEY PUT UP NOISE BARRIERS AND THERE WAS A MARKETABLE DIFFERENCE IN THE, IN THE SOUND, UH, I EXPERIENCE AT MY HOUSE.

THE, THE ROSE IS PRETTY FAR SET BACK.

UM, SO I MEAN, IN, IN SOUND WAVES BEHAVE IN ODD WAYS SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY HOW WHEN THEY HIT BUILDINGS.

UH, BUT I THINK THAT A PARTICULARLY THE RESIDENTS TO THE, TO THE NORTHWEST HERE WILL SEE, UH, AND HEAR SOME REDUCTION IN NOISE.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT'S GONNA BE OVERWHELMING REDUCTION, BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME MUFFLING OR AT LEAST DISTURBANCE OF THE SOUND WAVES, UH, BY THESE, BY THESE BUILDINGS.

THE CONCERN THAT WAS RAISED AT PLANNING COMMISSION WAS MORE FROM A GENTLEMAN WHO LIVES, UH, IN THE BACK BEHIND THERE CONCERNED ABOUT RESIDENTS WANTING WHO WOULD MOVE IN THERE AND, AND EITHER NOT REALIZE THEY'RE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ROSE, UH, AND JUST BE ANNOYED BY THE, THE EVENTS.

BUT I, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULDN'T NOTICE THAT THAT'S THERE FIRST WEEK IN THE APARTMENT.

YOU FIND OUT IT'S Z TOPS PLAN AS THE RISE, JOHN.

SO.

ALL RIGHT, AARON, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWERS.

THANKS MA'AM.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, NANCY? I HAVE ONE MORE.

I HAVE ONE MORE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY IT'S RELATED TO TRAFFIC, UM, SINCE WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT IT AND, AND IT AFFECTS BOTH 2 0 1 AND 2 0 2 MM-HMM.

, IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE MORE ROBUST PARAMETERS IN THE, UM, ODOT MODEL, ASSUMING THAT THE, ALL THE DEVELOPMENT THAT WE ARE DREAMING OF OR ARE ANTICIPATING NOW, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR THE ANNEXATION THAT ALL THAT TRAFFIC WAS IN THERE AND THAT WE COULD ASSESS WHAT THAT IMPACT IS AND ST AND

[01:30:01]

I DON'T SEE WHY WE COULDN'T, UM, AUGMENT WHAT'S ODOS O DOT'S, TRAFFIC FORECAST MODELS, UM, SORT OF PUN INTENDED.

I DON'T WANT TO GET IN RU IN RUSS'S LANE, SO TO SPEAK.

UM, BUT THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO DISCUSS WITH RUSS AND I ABOUT THE, THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

I KNOW THAT THEY ARE CONSTRAINED, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH THE ENGINEERS ON THE OLD TROY PIKE, UM, TRAFFIC STUDY, THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW O DOT'S RULES TO THE T BECAUSE THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE WE'RE GONNA NEED ODOT FUNDING FOR ANY IMPROVEMENTS.

WHEN IT'S SOMETHING LIKE, LIKE THIS, WE MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED TO BE AS STRICT, UH, WITH THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND WE COULD HAVE AN AUGMENTED, YOU KNOW, SO HERE'S O OTS GROWTH MODEL, THIS IS WHAT WE FORECAST AND SEE WHAT THE NUMBERS LOOK LIKE.

THAT'S A MATH EXERCISE AND SHOULDN'T BE THAT DIFFICULT.

I, I THINK IT WOULD, I'LL LEAVE A LOT OF OUR WORRIES IF, IF, ESPECIALLY IF THE RESULTS PROVED WHAT EVERYBODY FEELS, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, AND I DON'T LIKE TO USE AN EMOTIONAL WORD RIGHT.

BUT WHAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING AND, UM, AND WE KNOW WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, NO PUN INTENDED, BUT, YOU KNOW.

RIGHT.

YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

I'LL GET WITH RUSS AND SEE THE, THE APPROPRIATE DIRECTION ON, ON THAT, CUZ I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE ON THE BEST WAY TO FACILITATE THAT, BUT I'LL, WE'LL TALK TO AND WORK THAT OUT.

WHAT THE BEHAVIOR IS, WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM, WHERE THEY'RE GOING, HOW LONG THEY'RE STAYING, ET CETERA.

THANK YOU, BRIAN.

UH, JUST, UH, SOME OF THE TRAFFIC COMMENTS THAT WE'VE HEARD TONIGHT.

OUR INTENT HAS BEEN, AND I BELIEVE THAT, UM, IF YOU WERE TO GO BACK TO PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS THAT COUNSEL HAD SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE ISSUES AT, UH, TAYLORSVILLE AND TROY PIKE AND MERRILEE WAY THAT, UM, WE WOULD LOOK AT THE BEST WAY TO ADDRESS TRAFFIC ON EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD IN A COMPREHENSIVE WAY ONCE WE KNEW WHAT WAS APPROVED AND WE HAD AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THOSE PRO TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS LOOK LIKE, RATHER THAN TRYING TO, UM, CONSISTENTLY GUESS WHAT MIGHT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE FUTURE MIGHT HOLD.

AND THESE PROPERTIES ARE ALL ACTIVELY BEING PURSUED FOR DEVELOPMENT IN ONE WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE MOST ACCURATE INFORMATION BECAUSE WE HAVE A PRACTICAL NEED FOR THIS INFORMATION, UH, BECAUSE OF HOW WE OPERATE THE ROWS.

AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND AND ACCOMMODATE TO THOSE THINGS.

WE'VE TAKEN THIS SERIOUSLY IN THAT WE WANT TO COMPLETE WHAT IS THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDERWAY THAT AARON AND RUSSER SPEARHEADING, UH, ON OLD TROY PIKE.

WE WANT TO GET THAT DATA DEVELOPED.

WE WANT TO GET THAT INFORMATION FLUSHED OUT BECAUSE THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THAT STUDY IS TO TRY AND ADDRESS HOW TRAFFIC FLOWS THROUGH THAT AREA.

SO LET'S FOCUS ON THAT.

WE'LL TAKE THAT DATA ALONG WITH WHAT WE KNOW FROM THE ROWS, ALONG WITH WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT'LL BE HAPPENING ALONG, UM, EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD, AS WELL AS MAYBE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HEARD DENIED ABOUT GRANT PIKE.

UH, THAT'S NEW INFORMATION, UM, TO ME, UH, BUT CERTAINLY INFORMATION THAT'S VALID AND WE CAN PUT ALL OF THAT TOGETHER, UH, TO DEVELOP OUR PLAN ON HOW EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD IS GOING TO HAVE TO FUNCTION FOR EVERYONE'S NEEDS.

UM, AND WHILE IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT HOW THIS TRAFFIC IS GOING TO WORK AND MOVE, UH, IN THE FUTURE, UM, APPROVING THIS PROJECT DOES NOT PUT 320 APARTMENTS ON SITE WITH 400 CARS TOMORROW.

RIGHT? THIS IS GONNA DEVELOP OVER TIME, UH, AS ARE THE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, AS ARE THE OTHER PROJECTS, UM, ON EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE TIME NECESSARY TO PUT THESE TOGETHER WITH THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION POSSIBLE SO THAT WE'RE NOT USING, UH, OLD INFORMATION OR OUTDATED INFORMATION, UH, AND THAT WE CAN PLAY WITH SOME OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE MODELINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THINGS, UH, APPROPRIATELY ON EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD IN EVERYONE'S BEST INTEREST.

SO I JUST WANNA, UH, I'LL LET COUNCIL KNOW AND LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW WE ARE AWARE OF THESE, WE ARE HAVING THESE THOUGHTS, UH, AND WE ARE TRYING TO PLAN FOR THESE, UM, UH, UH, THESE CONSIDERATIONS AS BEST WE CAN.

AND, AND JUST TO FOLLOW UP BRIEFLY ON THAT, THE ONE THING THAT WE HAVE DONE WITH THE OLD TROY PIKE STUDY IS WE WEREN'T JUST INTERESTED IN COUNTY CARS ON HOW MANY WENT BY.

WE WANTED TO SEE WHERE THEY WERE COMING FROM AND WHERE THEY'RE GOING.

SO WE ASKED THE CONSULTANT TO USE ONE OF THE BIG DATA PROVIDERS NAMED PLA, UH, THIS COMPANY CALLED PLACER AI, THAT, UM, USES YOUR CELL PHONE DATA TO SEE WHERE ARE PEOPLE COMING FROM, WHERE ARE THEY GOING, ARE THERE ALTERNATE ROUTES THAT, AND OTHER CONNECTIONS THAT WE CAN MAKE TO, TO ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC CONGESTION ON PARTICULAR, IN THIS CASE, OLD TROY PIKE.

UH, AND AND THAT'S DATA THAT WE CAN'T NECESSARILY GET BY JUST COUNTING THE CARS GOING BY.

WE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT

[01:35:01]

THANKS RYAN.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN, AARON.

, ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY, ONE LAST TIME.

I'D ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF OR AGAINST THE APPROVAL OF THIS ISSUE? YES, I'D JUST LIKE YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE ALL WANTING TO THINK ABOUT WHERE WE'RE AT AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE ADDED INTO THIS AREA.

AND MOST OF MY QUESTIONS WERE AESTHETICS FOR THE, FOR THE DETAILED PLANE.

SO I ASSUME WE'RE GONNA BE NOTIFIED SO WE CAN COME FOR THAT.

BUT YES, I'M I R YEAH, I WATCHED 70 DEER OR IN THE BACKYARD LAST NIGHT.

IT WAS SO FASCINATING TO SEE THEM, AND I KNOW THEY'RE ALL GOING TO GO AWAY AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO GO.

HOPEFULLY THEY CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET ACROSS GRANT PIPE, BUT I JUST, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S KIND OF A ORGONE CONCLUSION THAT YOU'RE ALL LEANING TOWARDS VOTING FOR THIS, BUT I'D REALLY CONSIDER IT IF YOU THINK AGAIN.

YES.

IF I MAY, I MAY KIND OF SOME WEEKS AGO ABOUT TRAFFIC ON THAT PARTICULAR AREA OF EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD, UH, I SUGGESTED THERE MIGHT BE 900 HOUSES OR RESIDENCE AND MAYBE 1500 TO 2000 CARS.

I KNOW IN MY HOUSE, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR HOUSE, BUT I GO IN AND OUTTA MY HOUSE FOUR TIMES A DAY, APPROXIMATELY GOING TO SCHOOL OR GOING TO WHATEVER.

AND SO THAT COULD BE 6,000 CARS DURING A 24 HOUR PERIOD THAT'S GONNA BE OUT ON EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD, EITHER GOING INTO BRANT PIKE OR TROY.

AND WITH THAT, THEY TEE INTO EACH END.

THERE'S, THERE'S, IF YOU GO TO A LOT OF CITIES, THEY HAVE A, UH, FOR A, A BOULEVARD THAT LONG, THEY MIGHT HAVE SIX TO EIGHT TO 10 DIFFERENT NORTH SOUTH DISPERSAL AREAS THERE.

I DON'T SEE THAT, MAYBE I'M NOT LOOKING AT IT REAL CLOSE, BUT I KNOW SEVENTIES THERE, SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW, THEY CAN'T DISPERSE THAT DIRECTION.

AND THEN ALL THE HOUSING AND STUFF GOING THAT WAY.

IT ISN'T LIKE THERE'S A NICE DISPERSAL ROUTES.

IT'S EITHER GOING TO 2 0 1 OR 2 0 2, AND THAT'S IT.

SO ALL THESE, AND I'M SAYING 6,000 CARS ARE GONNA BE ON THAT ON A DAILY BASIS.

12 E, ITEM 12 E A PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 27TH, 2023 BY THE HUB RIGHTS CITY COUNCIL FOR K Z C 23 DASH ZERO SIX.

SO BARRING FURTHER COMMENTS, THE PUBLIC HEARING BY CITY COUNCIL FOR CASE B D P 23 DASH ZERO TWO IS HEREBY CLOSED.

AND NEXT WE HAVE ITEM

[ A Public Hearing Scheduled For March 27, 2023 By The Huber Heights City Council For Case ZC 23-06. The Applicant Is The City Of Huber Heights. The Applicant Is Requesting Approval And Adoption Of The 2023 Comprehensive Plan.]

THE APPLICANT IS THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE 2023 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THANKS, TONY.

AND THE PUBLIC HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 27TH, 2023, BY THE HUB RIGHTS CITY COUNCIL FOR CASE ZC.

23 DASH ZERO SIX IS NOW OPEN, AND I WOULD CALL ON CITY STAFF TO MAKE THE INITIAL PRESENTATION.

AND THEN FOR EVERYONE WHO'S HERE, WE WILL FOLLOW THE EXACT SAME ORDER OF THE PUBLIC HEARING AS WE DID AND THE PREVIOUS ONE.

SO AARON, AGAIN, THANK YOU.

THAT'S PEOPLE THAT EITHER CLICKED ON IT, THEY LIKED IT, THEY FORWARDED IT TO A FRIEND.

UH, SO THIS IS REALLY FOR PEOPLE LISTENING AND, AND WATCHING.

UM, SO WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OVERALL? SO IT IS A STATEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY'S GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES THAT GUIDE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT.

THERE ARE THREE KEY CHARACTERISTICS TO A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

ONE, THEY'RE COMPREHENSIVE, MEANING THAT THEY LOOK AT THE ENTIRE CITY, NOT JUST THE SUB AREA, UH, OR A LIMITED SECTION.

ONE THAT THEY'RE GENERAL, THEY'RE HIGH LEVEL POLICIES, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AS OPPOSED TO LIKE A ZONING ORDINANCE THAT IS A PARCEL LEVEL, UM, SPECIFIC AND THEIR LONG RANGE.

MOST COMPREHENSIVE PLANS LOOK FORWARD 15 TO 20 YEARS.

SO WE BEGAN OUR EFFORTS, UH, LAST YEAR, UM, IN DECEMBER, AND WE'RE HIT IN EARNEST.

UM, WELL ACTUALLY THE SPRING OF LAST YEAR, SORRY, DECEMBER OF, UH, OF 2020 AND HIT, UH, HIT THE GROUND RUNNING IN THE SPRING, UH, FOCUSING ON, UH, BRANDING.

WE, WE, UH, STOOD UP A STEERING COMMITTEE.

WE DID A NUMBER OF SURVEYS, UH, ONLINE, OFFLINE MAPPING, UH, SOME MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS, AND THEN ALSO, UM, PUBLIC EVENTS AS FAR AS THE REACH.

UH, WE HAD 1400 PEOPLE, UH, TAKE THE SURVEY.

UH, WE WERE, WE HAD 200 PEOPLE AT THE IGNITE THE HEIGHTS EVENT, WHICH MANY OF YOU, IF NOT ALL, WERE THERE.

UH, ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA FRONT, WE HAD 4,800 DIRECT ENGAGEMENTS, SO

[01:40:01]

THEY DID SOME KIND OF, OF INTERACTION ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.

UH, AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER, UH, 54,000 PEOPLE THAT WE REACHED, UH, WHO JUST SAW A VARIOUS POSTS ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO THERE WERE, UH, WE HAD QUITE, QUITE THE REACH.

ALSO DID A NUMBER OF, UH, ONLINE, UH, MAPPING, UH, EXERCISES THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY.

UH, THE STEERING COMMITTEE SAT DOWN AND TALKED ABOUT, UH, AREAS OF GROWTH AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.

UH, I DO WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE, THE STEERING COMMITTEE WHO PUT IN A LOT OF, UH, EFFORT INTO THIS PROCESS.

SO THERE WERE FOUR MAIN, UH, AREAS OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAME OUT OF THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS.

ONE WAS THE IDEA, UH, TO FOCUS AND, UH, ON BUILD LOCAL WALKABILITY AND REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY.

ONE OF THE CHALLENGES, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT TRAFFIC A LOT TODAY.

UM, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF INTERCONNECTED AREAS, AND SO TRAFFIC TENDS TO JUST FUNNEL TO MAIN CORRIDORS.

AND SO THEN WE HAVE THESE CONGESTION AREAS.

WE ALSO ARE A CITY BUILT AROUND THE AUTOMOBILE.

THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIVERSIFY OUR, UH, MOBILITY OPTIONS.

ONE IS FI, THE OTHER IS TO FIND OUR CENTERS.

UM, AND THIS IS THE, THE AREAS THAT HAVE COMMON THEMES, UM, AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.

THE OTHER AREA OF OPPORTUNITY IS TO CONNECT OUR, OUR HISTORY TO OUR FUTURE.

UM, THERE'S A, UH, A LOT OF GREAT THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED, UH, AND WE NEED TO BE, UH, MINDFUL OF THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND, AND, UH, AND BUILD ON ON THOSE, UH, THOSE PAST ACHIEVEMENTS.

UH, AND THEN OPERATIONALIZE AS A GROWTH STRATEGY.

THIS IS MORE OF AN INSIDE, UM, INSIDE THE WALLS.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE THIS FORWARD? UM, FROM A ADMINISTRATIVE AND OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT, THERE ARE TWO KEY THEMES THAT HAVE, THAT ARE A PART OF THE, THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

ONE IS THE MOBILITY PLAN, AND THEN TWO FOCUSES ON DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.

THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS IS A DIFFERENT WAY OF, OF KIND OF THINKING ABOUT HOW WE GROW.

UH, THE GOALS OF OBJECTIVES OF THE MOBILITY PLAN ARE TO SUPPORT MULTIMODAL ACCESS.

UH, IF YOU'VE READ THE PLAN, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ONE OF THE KEY, UH, ELEMENTS THAT THAT WAS DETERMINED OR DIS DISCOVERED IS THAT HUBER HEIGHTS RESIDENTS ARE PAYING, UH, AS MUCH, UH, FOR TRANSPORTATION AS THEY ARE FOR HOUSING.

AND THOSE TRANSPORTATION COSTS CONTINUE TO GO UP.

AND SO ONE OF THE GOALS AND THE OUTCOME IS HOW CAN WE PROVIDE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR MOBILITY TO REDUCE THOSE TRANSPORTATION COSTS THAT'S MORE DISPOSABLE OF THE INCOME THEY CAN SPEND ON OTHER THINGS, CHILDCARE, ENTERTAINMENT, HOUSING, ET CETERA.

SO, UH, AGAIN, SUPPORT MULTIMODAL AS ACCESS.

BETTER DISTRIBUTE, UH, TRAFFIC BY MODE, BY ROUTES AND TIME OF DAY.

ENCOURAGE WALKABLE DENSITY, ENCOURAGE HUMAN-CENTERED INNOVATION.

SO THINKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE INTERACT WITH THE SPACES, UH, LOWER HOUSEHOLD TRANSPORTATION COSTS, UH, AND THEN SET A NEW STANDARD FOR OUR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE MOVING FORWARD.

ON THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN SIDE, THIS IS HOW WE'RE GONNA DO IT.

IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, UH, DEVELOPING THESE, THESE CLUSTERS, WHICH I'LL GET INTO.

UM, ONE, SO THIS OVERALL IS REALLY AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.

SO WE'RE FOCUSING ON TALENT ATTRACTION AND RETENTION.

CONTINUING TO, TO BUILD HUBER HEIGHTS AS A PLACE THAT IS DESIRABLE TO DESIRABLE TO BE BOTH, TO LIVE HERE, TO WORK HERE, TO, TO PLAY HERE.

UH, ENCOURAGE WALKABLE DENSITY.

YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SOME OVERLAP BETWEEN THE MOBILITY PLAN AND THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.

ALLOW PEOPLE TO LIVE CLOSER TO JOBS AND AMENITIES.

UH, WE DO THAT BY EXPANDING HOUSING OPTIONS.

AND THEN WE FOCUS GROWTH, UH, IN CLUSTERS.

ONE OF THE KEY, UM, IDEAS THAT CAME OUT OF THE MOBILITY PLAN IS THIS IDEA OF THE LOOP, WHICH IS A 14 AND A HALF MILE, UM, ESSENTIALLY REALLY LARGE BIKE ROUTE, UH, AND BIKE PATH PLAN THAT CONNECTS MOST OF THE HUBER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOODS, UH, AND THEN ALSO GETS US TO THE LARGER, UM, 350 MILE REGIONAL BIKEWAY.

RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE, UH, A LOT OF GREAT CONNECTIONS TO THAT, UM, BUT WE CAN START TO BUILD THEM INCREMENTALLY OVER TIME.

UM, THIS IS A PICTURE OF ACTUALLY A VERY SIMILAR, UM, EXACTLY THE SAME TYPE OF, UM, UH, THE MARION TRAIL, UH, THAT, THAT CONNECTS INDIANAPOLIS, UH, IN PARTS OF, OF OTHER PARTS OF, OF THE INDIANAPOLIS REGION.

THE OTHER KEY THEME IS STREETS FOR EVERYONE.

SO STREETS MAKE UP THE LARGEST, UH, AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SPACE.

UH, AND, AND AN EFFICIENT NET STREET NETWORK IS CRITICAL FOR ENABLING, UH, GROWTH SAFE TRAVEL.

WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SAFE TRAVEL BY ALL INCLUDING PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLES AND VEHICLES, AND DEVELOPING COMPLETE STREETS.

SO WE'RE NOT JUST BUILDING FOR THE

[01:45:01]

AUTOMOBILE, BUT WE'RE BUILDING FOR, UM, THE FAMILIES, PUSHING THE STROLLER, THE INDIVIDUAL, THE KID WHO WANTS TO RIDE ON THE BIKE, SOMEBODY WHO WANTS TO COMMUTE, MAYBE A DIFFERENT WAY BESIDES, UM, THE SINGLE AUTOMOBILE ENCOURAGING, UH, DEVELOPING, WORKING WITH THE RTA TO, TO ENHANCE THE, UH, THE PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEM, FOR EXAMPLE.

UH, AND IT'S THINKING ABOUT STREETS THAT ARE ALSO AVENUES FOR THINGS THAT JUST, UH, AREN'T CARS.

SO IT'S NOT JUST TRANSPORTATION, BUT HOW DO WE USE THE PUBLIC SPACE THAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS OUTDOOR CAFES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO THINKING ABOUT STREETS IN A DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT WAY.

THE ACTUAL THOROUGHFARE PLAN DOESN'T CHANGE A WHOLE LOT BETWEEN, UM, WHAT WE HAVE TODAY AND WHERE WE'RE HEADED.

UM, WE HAVE INCLUDED SOME, UM, PREFERENCES FOR BIKE TRAILS.

WE WANT TO INCREASE CONNECTIVITY.

SO WHEN WE'RE DEVELOPING SUBDIVISIONS IN THE FUTURE, WE WANT TO SEE THAT CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS SO THAT WE HAVE LESS TRAFFIC AND DIGESTION.

WE WANT TO UPDATE OUR STREET DESIGNS.

AND THEN WE DO THIS THROUGH INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS.

AS, AS, AS WE APPROVE EACH SUBDIVISION OR WE REBUILD OUR STREETS, WE CAN INCREMENTALLY, UM, MAKE THESE IMPROVEMENTS IN THESE ENHANCEMENTS.

ONE OF THE KEY OUTCOMES OF THE PLAN IS TO REDO OUR STREET SECTION DESIGN GUIDELINES.

UH, SO WE HAVE OUR TYPICAL, UM, MINIMUM STANDARD HERE, WHICH IS, SO THIS WOULD BE YOUR, UH, OLD TROY PIKE OR BRA PIKE, UM, UM, STANDARD ABOUT A 90 FOOT RIDE AWAY.

UM, TWO TRAVEL LANES, A TURN LANE, UH, AND NOW WE START TO PUT IN SOME PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES, SOME STREET TREES.

UH, AND IF WE'VE GOT EVEN MORE RIGHT AWAY, WE CAN SEPARATE THE BIKE LANE FROM THE PEDESTRIAN LANE, A LARGER GRANDER STREET, UH, STREET TREES, MAYBE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR ON STREETE PARKING, WHERE APPROPRIATE.

UM, SO WE HAVE, UM, THESE STREET SECTION DESIGNS FOR, UH, ALL OF OUR STREETS INCLUDING, UH, LOCAL, LOCAL STREETS.

SO THEY, THEY ARE UPDATED, UM, FROM OUR CURRENT SUBDIVISION STANDARDS FOR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT'S BEING RECOMMENDED AS WE UPDATE OUR CURRENT SUBDIVISION STANDARDS.

AS FAR AS THE IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTATION STEPS, UM, THERE'S A REALLY A FIVE YEAR, UH, IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE.

SO IN THE EARLY STAGES, IT'S TO UPDATE OUR LOCAL MOBILITY, UM, POLICY.

SO THAT'S, UH, OUR, OUR, AS I SAID, OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, UH, REDUCING OUR PARKING MINIMUMS, UM, PROMOTING INFILL DEVELOPMENT, ET CETERA.

UM, TWO IS ALIGN OUR STREET AND TRAIL DESIGN, UH, STANDARDS WITH NATIONAL BECK'S PRACTICES.

UM, AND SO THAT IS INCORPORATING, ODOT JUST RECENTLY RELEASED THEIR NEW, UH, MULTI-MODAL DESIGN GUIDELINES.

THESE STREET SECTIONS FOLLOW THAT.

UH, SO WE WANT TO ALIGN THE DESIGNS THAT ODOT WOULD LIKE WITH THE DESIGNS THAT ODOT WOULD FUND, UH, SO THAT WE ARE USING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY FOR THESE INCREMENTAL STREET, UH, THESE INCREMENTAL UPGRADES WHERE POSSIBLE WORK ON OVER THE NEXT TWO TO THREE YEARS, WORK ON THAT LOOP MASTER PLAN SO THAT WE CAN, UM, MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR RIGHT OF WAY WHERE NECESSARY, UH, WHERE WE CAN START CHASING GRANT FUNDS TO, TO BUILD OUT BIKE LA LANES LIKE WE'RE, WE'RE DOING.

UM, ALONG, UM, WHY AM I JUST DRAWING A BLANK? STARTS WITH THE C TAYLOR CHAMBERSBURG.

UH, AS WE HEAD TO, TO THE WEST ON CHAMBERSBURG, UH, LAST RECOMMENDATION IS TO CREATE A MULTI-MOBILE PLANNING COORDINATOR POSITION.

AND SO THAT'S SOMEBODY WHO THINKS ABOUT THIS TRAFFIC AND, AND MAKING THESE CONNECTIONS EVERY DAY.

UM, SO IT'S ALSO SOMEBODY WHO CHASES THE FUNDING TO HELP PAY FOR THIS.

THE OTHER KEY THEME IS THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.

AND SO DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS FOCUS ON THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT OF WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, WORK, WORK AND PLAY.

AND IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING ABOUT HOW WE HA ARE DES UM, DIVIDING THE CITY INTO INTO ZONES.

SO THERE ARE SEVEN CENTERS.

UM, SO WE TALK, AND THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS IS A, A WAY OF THINKING ABOUT AREAS IN TERMS OF HOW THEY'RE, THEY'RE U THEY'RE EXPERIENCED.

SO WE TALK ABOUT THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS, THE SCALE OF THE BUILDINGS, THE SIGHTING, THE OPEN SPACE, THE DENSITY AND MASS.

IT'S A LESS OF AN EMPHASIS ON USES.

SO WE CARE ABOUT HOW THE BUILDINGS ARE PLACED, HOW PEOPLE INTERACT WITH THE BUILDING.

WE CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE OF THOSE FOUR WALLS.

UH, AND WE FOCUS ON PLACEMAKING, HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT THE AREAS IN THE ENVIRONMENTS AND HOW THEY FUNCTION AND EN AND ENGAGE, UH, WITH THOSE PLACES.

SO THERE ARE SEVEN DIFFERENT CENTERS.

THINK OF 'EM AS SMALL NEIGHBORHOODS.

UM, THE LIVE LOCAL, WHICH, UH, REALLY IS BUILDING OFF THE BRANT PIKE, UH, REVITALIZATION PLAN WHERE WE'RE DOING QUITE

[01:50:01]

A BIT OF WORK THERE.

NOW.

UH, THE SE THE SECOND CENTER IS THE WORK CENTER, WHICH IS, UH, THE AREA NORTH OF, UM, 70.

WELL, REALLY ALONG, UM, ROUTE 4, 2 35, UH, WHERE WE'VE HAVE A LARGE INTEREST IN, WELL, WE HAVE A LOT OF MANUFACTURING OUT THERE.

WE HAVE A LOT OF THE LOGISTICS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF EMPLOYERS.

SO CONTINUE TO BUILD OFF OF, OF THAT, UH, NUCLEUS THAT'S ALREADY THERE.

THE PLAY AREA IS THE KIND OF THE ENTERTAINMENT, UH, THAT WE'RE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD, THE ROSE, UM, WARPED WING, Y M C A, ET CETERA.

AND THAT'S ABOUT TARGETING A, YOU KNOW, HOSPITALITY AND BUILDING THAT, THAT, THAT ENTERTAINMENT, UM, AND SHOPPING CORRIDOR.

ONE THAT'S NEW, UH, THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE A LOT WITH IS, UH, A RIVERFRONT CENTER.

AND, AND, AND THE IDEA IS TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT UNDERDEVELOPED LAND THAT'S ALONG THE RIVER, MAKE THE CONNECTIONS TO THE, TO THE BIKEWAY.

UM, ALSO THEN CONNECT, UH, RETAIL AND EMPLOYMENT TO, SO TO THE, TO THE RIVER.

IT'S, IT'S A, IT IS A, IT'S A DESTINATION OPPORTUNITY, UM, THAT WE CAN EXPLOIT ON THE, ON THE MIAMI HERE, THE ALONG, UM, TAYLORSVILLE, UH, THIS WOULD BE THE REGIONAL COMMERCIAL CENTER.

SO WE WOULD FOCUS A LOT OF REGIONAL OR A LOT OF COMMERCIAL USES THERE.

UH, AND THEN WE GET INTO KIND OF THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD TYPE AREAS.

UH, SO ONE IS NORTHTOWN.

UH, THIS IS KIND OF LATE CENTURY, UH, HOUSING.

THIS IS WHERE THERE'S CURRENTLY A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE.

UH, AS FAR AS WHAT WE WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY IS, IS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING THOSE CONNECTIONS TO BIKE PATHS, TO, UH, TO ALL OF THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE CONNECTED.

SOUTHTOWN IS THE LARGEST AREA, IT'S THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF THE BRICK HOMES.

IT WAS THE AREA THAT WAS FIRST DEVELOPED.

UH, THAT'S FOCUSING ON POLICIES THAT ENCOURAGE RENOVATION IN INFIELD DEVELOPMENT, BEGINNING TO MAKE INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, CUZ IT'S THE OLDER AREA OF THE CITY THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE, UH, REVITALIZED.

WE ALSO NEED TO THINK ABOUT HOMEOWNER INVESTMENT, UH, INCENTIVES.

SO WE HAVE AN AGING HOMEOWNER POPULATION, UH, IN, IN THIS AREA.

HOW THESE ARE GREAT STARTER HOMES.

HOW, WHAT'S THE, WHAT IS THE, UM, WHAT'S THE PHILOSOPHY AND HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE THE NEXT GENERATION OF HOMEOWNERS, UH, IN THIS AREA? UH, AND AND THAT LARGELY IS PROBABLY FOCUSING ON MARKETING OF WHY THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE.

UH, THE EAST VILLAGES IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE AREA WHERE WE'RE GONNA SEE, WE'LL SEE SOME RESIDENTIAL PRESSURE, UM, THAT WE AT LEAST WE THINK WE'LL SEE SOME RESIDENTIAL PRESSURE.

UH, WE ARE EXTENDING UTILITIES, UH, EASTWARD, UM, IN THIS AREA.

SO AT, WITH UTILITIES COMES DEVELOPMENT.

UH, SO WE WANT TO BE PREPARED.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT HERE INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL OR THE, THE KIND OF THE SUBDIVISION, THOSE CLOSE, UH, HOMES, MAYBE SOME ALLEYS GREEN SPACE.

UH, REALLY RETHINK ABOUT, UH, KIND OF HOW, HOW WE DEVELOP OUR LIVING SPACES.

AND THEN THE ESTATE LOTS.

UM, THESE ARE AREAS THAT FOR EITHER LACK OF UTILITIES OR ENVIRONMENTAL, UM, CONSTRAINTS, UM, THEY'RE GONNA BE LARGER LOT AREAS.

UH, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE AT THE MOMENT PLANNING TO EXTEND UTILITIES, UH, DOWN TAYLORSVILLE, UH, AREAS TO THE WEST HERE HAVE, UH, SOME ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WITH FLOODING.

UH, SO WE HAVE JUST AN, THOSE LOTS ARE JUST GENERALLY GONNA BE, BE LARGER.

SO THE IDEA IS TO ONE, AS FAR AS IMPLEMENTATION, ONE IS TO UPDATE WELL TO ADOPT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE SECOND AND THE LARGER EFFORT AS, AS FAR AS IT RELATES TO DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS IS CHANGING.

THE, CHANGING OUR ZONING CODE TO BE LESS LYDIAN AND FOCUSING LESS ON USES AND MORE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS AND HOW THE AREA SHOULD FUNCTION AND LOOK AND FEEL OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

UM, DEVELOP, UH, SOME SUB AREA PLANS.

I THINK THERE'S, UH, OPPORTUNITIES AS FAR AS THE WAY I SEE IT.

SOME OF THE SUB AREA PLANS THAT WE NEED TO DRILL DOWN TO IS IN THAT WORK AREA NORTH OF, OF, OF 70, CENTER POINT 70.

WHAT DO WE REALLY WANT THAT TO BE? WE KNOW WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF TRUCKING, UM, UH, PRESSURE THERE.

IS THAT WHAT WE WANT TO BE WHEN IT, WHEN IT GROWS UP? UM, CREATE SOME SUB AREA PLANS, UH, AND SOME STRATEGIES.

UM, SO CHAMBERSBURG AND BRAND, UH, THE WORK CENTER AND THE RIVERFRONT PARTICULARLY, UH, EXPAND STAFF, UH, RESOURCES AND CAPACITY.

UH, AND THEN EVERY COUPLE YEARS, UH, JUST CHECK IN TO SEE WHERE WE'RE

[01:55:01]

GOING ON THIS PLAN.

AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN TO WHOLE SCALE REDO IT, BUT JUST CHECK IN WITH PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNSEL.

WHAT ARE OUR SUCCESSES? WHAT DO WE STILL NEED TO WORK ON OF THESE IMPLEMENTATION ITEMS? WHAT SHOULD WE PRIORITIZE OVER THE NEXT, UH, COUPLE YEARS? SO AS FAR AS THE STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION, UM, THIS PLAN DRAWS FROM THE RICH HISTORY OF HUBER HEIGHTS AND RECOGNIZES HOW WE'VE EVOLVED FROM A BEDROOM COMMUNITY TO A REGIONAL DESTINATION FOR ENTERTAINMENT, EMPLOYMENT INNOVATION.

I BELIEVE THIS PLAN BUILDS ON THE STRENGTH AND TALENTS OF OUR RESIDENTS, UH, OUR COMMUNITY ASSETS AND OUR LOCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.

THE MOBILITY PLAN BUILDS ON OUR CURRENT EFFORTS TO INCL IMPROVE OUR, UH, MOBILITY OPTIONS, PAR PARTICULARLY FOR BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS, AND ENCOURAGES THE CITY TO MODERN MODERNIZE OUR STREET DESIGN STANDARDS.

UH, I BELIEVE THAT THE LOOP CAN BE AN ECONOMIC ENGINE, UM, AND CONNECTS NEIGHBORHOODS TO THE 340 MILE REGIONAL, UH, NETWORK.

IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT XENIA HAS DONE, YELLOW SPRINGS, MIAMISBURG, THEY'VE ALL BUILT ALONG, BUILT THEIR STRATEGIC LOCATION TO THE BIKEWAY AND, AND HAVE CAPITALIZED UPON THAT.

SO, UPDATING OUR STREET STANDARDS, UM, AND EMPHASIZING CONNECTIVITY WILL CREATE GREAT CORRIDORS, REDUCE CONGESTION AND, UH, HOUSEHOLD TRANSPORTATION COSTS.

IF WE IMPROVE OUR CONNECTIVITY, I THINK WE'LL HAVE LESS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT TRAFFIC ISSUES.

UM, OUR STREET SECTIONS THAT ARE ILLUSTRATING THE PLAN ARE CONSISTENT WITH ODOS MULTIMODAL DESIGN GUIDELINES AND OUR ELIGIBLE FOR ODOT FUNDING.

UH, AND THE MOBILITY PLAN ENCOURAGES A COMMITMENT TO VISION ZERO, WHICH IS THE IDEA THAT THERE ARE ZERO ROADWAY DEATHS, BOTH VEHICULAR PEDESTRIAN, UH, OR BICYCLISTS, AND ALSO INCORPORATES, UH, SAFE ROUTE TO SCHOOL BEST PRACTICES.

THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN LENS ENCOURAGE THE CITIES TO EMPHASIZE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER, CONTEXT, AND BUILDING DESIGN.

AND WE PUT LESS SEPARATION OR EMPHASIS ON, EXCUSE ME, WE PUT LESS EMPHASIS ON THE STRICT SEPARATION OF LAND USES.

UM, WE USE PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS TO DO EXACTLY THIS.

WE COULD DEVELOP A CODE WHERE THE ZONING BY RIGHT, DOES EXACTLY THIS.

UH, THE PLAN ADVOCATES A HYBRID FORM OF DEVELOPMENT CODE RATHER THAN OUR CURRENT, UH, ECL UH, ZONING CODE.

THE PLAN ENCOURAGES A MORE EFFICIENT AND MARKET RESPONSIVE, UH, APPROACH TO LAND UTILIZATION, ALLOWING SMALLER, LOTS LESS PARKING, AND BE MORE NIMBLE ON OUR RATE.

LAND USE REGULATIONS AND PROCESSES PLAN ALSO RECOMMENDS A ROBUST PUBLIC PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS WHERE PLANS ARE FORMULATED AND REFINED.

THE IDEA BEHIND THAT IS, UM, THE NEED IN OUR VIEW, UM, TO WORK WITH DEVELOPERS AND NEIGHBORHOODS BEFORE IT EVER GETS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

RIGHT NOW, WE REACT AFTER WE GET A DEVELOPMENT PLAN, UH, PRESENTED TO US.

WE WOULDN'T, THE IDEA IS TO CHANGE OUR PROCESSES TO WHERE THE NE THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE DEVELOPERS ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION ALONG WITH STAFF.

AND THIS IS LED BY STAFF BEFORE WE EVER GET TO THIS, GET TO THIS PROCESS.

SO THE, THE ISSUES AND IDEAS AND CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED AHEAD OF THE HEAD OF THE PROCESS.

INSTEAD OF AFTER THE DEVELOPER SPENDS A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON, ON DRAWINGS, STAFF STRONGLY SUPPORTS THOSE GOALS.

I BELIEVE THAT THIS PLAN CHARTS A PATH FORWARD FOR THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS THAT BUILDS UPON OUR, LIKE I SAID, OUR PAST SUCCESSES LEVERAGES THE OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD OF US TO BUILD A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL, UH, COMMUNITY THAT PROVIDES FOR HOUSING, JOBS, AMENITIES, AND QUALITY OF LIFE THAT BOTH OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS DEMAND AND DESERVE.

UH, STAFF RECOMMENDS THE ADOPTION OF THE 20, UH, 2023 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

UH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED FIVE TO ZERO TO RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF THE PLAN.

AND AGAIN, I SAID IT EARLIER, BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK THE EFFORTS OF, OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE, UH, THE TIME THAT THEY TOOK IN, UH, IN VOLUNTEERING AND IN HELPING GUIDE THIS PROCESS AS WELL AS THE HUNDREDS AND THOU OF, AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO, UH, TOOK TIME TO EITHER ANSWER SURVEYS, COME TO EVENTS, INTERACT WITH US.

SO, THANKS, AARON.

I WOULD JUST UP AND SAY YES, ANYBODY WHO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH DEVELOPING THE, THE PLAN OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST, YOU KNOW, 12 TO 18 MONTHS THAT THIS THING HAS BEEN GOING ON.

UH, I THINK CERTAINLY WE, WE APPRECIATE EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN INVOLVED AT, AT ANY LEVEL.

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION, UH, FOR US.

WE APPRE WE APPRECIATE THAT.

AND, UH, FROM THAT POINT, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE PUBLIC HEARING.

UH, NEXT, UH, AS WE ALWAYS GO TO FIRST THE LAW DIRECTOR, IF THERE'S ANY COMMENTS OR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, UH, THAT NEEDS TO BE NOTED FOR COUNSEL ON THE

[02:00:01]

PLAN.

NO, NOT AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU SIR.

NEXT, I WOULD ASK IF THERE'S ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? OKAY.

SO NO ONE, WE'LL MOVE ON.

IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AGAINST THE APPROVAL OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? OKAY, NEXT, I CALL ANY MEMBERS OF HUMAN RIGHTS CITY THE COUNCIL TO MAKE I'M NOT, OR AGAINST, I'M JUST CURIOUS, IS THERE A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS? WHAT, WITH THIS STUDY? YEAH, BRIAN, IS THIS, I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE WAS A COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ONE.

UH, THERE WAS, I WANT TO SAY THAT THE TOTAL PRICE FOR THIS PACKAGE WAS ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

12 F, WHICH IS THE ADMINISTRATION.

I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS LESS THAN THAT.

OTHER THAN THE FIRM THAT WE HIRED, THERE WAS A COST TO THAT, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE FROM THE PLANE WAS ALL DEVELOPED THROUGH VOLUNTEERS SIGNED UP.

I'M JUST WONDERING WHERE YOU GOT ALL THIS INFORMATION FROM.

I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THE CALLS WAS.

ANYONE FROM COUNCIL WISH TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS? DAISY? I I DO.

I WANNA THANK ERIN, YOU DID A TREMENDOUS JOB OF, OF HELPING TO LEAD THIS EFFORT.

UM, YOU AND SARAH BOTH, UH, AND YARD AND COMPANY WAS PHENOMENAL.

UM, I THINK THAT THE, UH, FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY, THE INVOLVEMENT, THE INTEREST WAS SECOND TO NONE OF ANY THAT I'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN ON COUNCIL.

GOOD.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

IT'S FUN PROJECT, UH, NANCY'S COMMENTS.

IT WAS, UM, THE NIGHT WE HAD TO UNITE THE HIKES AND THERE WAS A LOT OF, UH, IT WAS A LOT OF FUN AROUND THAT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP, A LOT OF PEOPLE TOOK THE TIME TO, UM, TO BE THERE AND EXPRESS THEIR OPINION AND INTEREST.

SO IT WAS, IT WAS NICE TO SEE ANYONE ELSE ON COUNCIL HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS THEY WANNA MAKE? DON? THANK YOU, MAYOR.

UH, AGAIN, I'LL ECHO THAT.

AARON, THANKS TO, UH, YOU AND TO THE COMMITTEE.

UH, I THINK IT'S EXCELLENT WORK.

UM, I DO HAVE A QUESTION IN THE RESOLUTION THAT WE HAVE BEFORE US.

UH, AND IT'S REGARDING SECTION ONE.

UM, ITEM ONE, THE CITY'S PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODES SHALL BE REVIEWED DURING THE SAME PERIOD AS THE CITY'S DEVELOPMENT CODES.

CAN YOU GIMME A, A, A GLIMPSE OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE, UM, AS WE DO THAT? YEAH, I APOLOGIZE.

I, UH, I COMPLETELY GLOSSED OVER THAT.

ACTUALLY, I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION IT, SO I APOLOGIZE.

UM, SO THAT CAME, UH, AS PART OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION.

SO THE, THE, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, SUGGESTS THAT WE LOOK AT OUR SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, OUR ZONING CODE.

THERE WAS A LARGE, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AS WELL.

UM, AND IT WAS MY RECOMMENDATION THEN, AS WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH AND LOOK AT THESE CODES, LET'S LOOK AT PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AS WELL.

CUZ I COULDN'T TELL THE PLANNING COMMISSION GOOD OR BAD AS OURS.

GOOD OR BAD? I HAVE NO IDEA.

I'M NOT SURE THE LAST TIME, UM, WE UPDATED THEM COMPREHENSIVELY, BUT SINCE WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SETTING EXPECTATIONS FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE ONE OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

SO THAT'S HOW THAT CAME ABOUT.

THAT'S EXCELLENT.

UH, COUNCILMAN OTO AND I SAT ON THE, UH, ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE, UH, THAT WRAPPED UP.

WAS THAT LAST YEAR? TWO YEARS AGO? TWO YEARS AGO? IT'S BEEN A IT'S BEEN A WHILE, SIR.

NO, BUT, UH, WE SAT ON THAT AND THE ONE THING THAT WAS WE GLEANED FROM THAT IS EVERYTHING IS SO INTERCONNECTED, SO LOOKING AT AA PARTICULAR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ORDINANCE OR, UH, EVEN PARKING ISSUE MM-HMM.

, UH, LINKS INTO SO MANY OTHER PARTS OF IT.

I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT PUT INTO THIS.

UM, SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT THIS AS A TOTAL PACKAGE.

HEY, OATH FROM COUNSEL.

HAVE ANY COMMENTS? OKAY.

SO I'D ASK ONE LAST TIME IF THERE IS ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF OR AGAINST THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN? OKAY, SO BARRING FURTHER COMMENTS, A PUBLIC HEARING BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CASE ZC 23 DASH ZERO SIX IS HEREBY CLOSED.

UH, YES, THANK YOU, SIR.

UH, IF YOU'LL RECALL A FEW HOURS AGO, UH, I HAD NOTED, UH, AS PART OF MY COMMENTS DURING THE WORK SESSION, UH, THAT THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS FROM, UH, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL THAT PREDICATED MY RECOMMENDATION THAT THIS MATTER BE MOVED TO A SECOND READING, UH, HAVING SPENT SOME TIME AND THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO TRY AND ADDRESS THOSE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.

I THINK, QUITE FRANKLY, UM, I'D LIKE TO, UH, PULL THIS ITEM FROM THE COUNCIL DOCKET.

UH, AND THE REASON FOR THAT, UH, SUGGESTION IS IN THINKING WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TRY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AND THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN POSED TO ME, UM, IS, IS TO SIMPLY, UH, COMPEL THAT THE CURRENT AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE WITH HORIZON LINE BE HONORED, UM, FOR THOSE MEMBERS, UH, OF COUNSEL.

UH, AS YOU MAY RECALL, WE HAD AN AGREEMENT WITH, UH, HORIZON LINE, UH, THAT STEMS BACK TO APPROXIMATELY JULY OF 2021 AND IT EXTENDED THROUGH, UH, JULY OF 2022.

AND WE, UH, UNFORTUNATELY WEREN'T ABLE TO COME TO, UH, MUTUALLY AGREEABLE CONDITIONS UNDER THAT, UH, UNDER THAT PARTICULAR AGREEMENT, UH, THE CITY THEN SAT DOWN WITH THE DEVELOPER AND WE LOOKED AT, UH, WAYS THAT WE COULD PUT TOGETHER A MUTUALLY AGREEABLE, UH, AGREEMENT, UH, TO TRY AND ADVANCE, UM, A PROJECT AT THAT SAME LOCATION.

AND WHEN WE ENTERED INTO THAT AGREEMENT, UH, THE CITY'S POSITION WAS, UH, WAS VERY, UM, FORTHRIGHT AND UPCOMING WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT, UH, THE AGREEMENT WE WERE ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE EXTENSION, UM, UH, THAT THAT AGREEMENT MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE TIMELINE, WHICH IT WAS TO, TO CLOSE OR SCHEDULE CLOSE BY MARCH 31ST.

UH, AND, UM, IN THINKING ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED OF ME ABOUT, UH, WHY THIS PARTICULAR, UM, LEGISLATION IS, IS BROUGHT FORWARD, UH, I THINK THE BEST ANSWER IS TO JUST SIMPLY SAY THAT, UH, THE AGREEMENT THAT'S IN PLACE NEEDS TO BE HONORED.

UH, AND, UH, SO AS A RESULT OF THAT, UM, I'M PULLING THIS ITEM FROM THE DOCKET THIS EVENING AND, UH, AND I KNOW THAT'S CONTRARY TO MY RECOMMENDATION AT THE WORK SESSION, BUT I THINK IT'S, UH, IN THE OVERALL BEST INTEREST OF THE CITY.

UH, AND SO, UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT, UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE THAT NOTE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

SO, UH, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS HERE.
