GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.IF YOU WERE HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MEETING REGULAR SESSION, IT IS MAY 9TH, 2022,
[1. Call The Meeting To Order - Mayor Jeff Gore]
AND WE'RE GETTING STARTED AT 6:02 PM.UH, THIS MEETING IS OFFICIALLY CALLED TO ORDER AND NEXT WE'LL HAVE OUR INVOCATION BY PASTOR RANDY GRIFFITH OF THE FREE METHODIST CHURCH AT 68 75 OLD TROY PIKE HERE, NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S PASTOR GRIFFITH.
WHO SAID, POLITICIANS ARE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION, BUT STATESMEN ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION.
UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS LIKE AT LEAST ACCORDING TO THE VARIOUS FORMS OF MEDIA OUT THERE, THAT AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS MORE ABOUT THE FORMER THAN THE LATTER.
THAT'S WHY IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS, DO EVERYTHING WITHOUT COMPLAINING OR ARGUING SO THAT YOU MAY BECOME BLAMELESS AND PURE CHILDREN OF GOD WITHOUT FAULT IN A CROOKED AND THE PRAY GENERATION IN WHICH YOU SHINE LIKE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE.
AS YOU HOLD OUT THE WORD OF LIFE, THE WORDS OF GOD ARE AND MUST BE THE STANDARD FOR ALL PUBLIC SERVICE, BECAUSE ALL WILL BE BOTH JUDGED AND REWARDED.
ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD, RIGHTEOUSNESS IS WORTH MORE THAN MONEY.
IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF PROVERBS, WEALTH IS WORTHLESS IN THE DAY OF WRATH, BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS DELIVERS FROM DEATH IN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
THERE IS LIFE ALONG THAT PATH IS IMMORTALITY RIGHTEOUSNESS, GUARDS, THE PERSON OF INTEGRITY, BUT WICKEDNESS, OVERTHROWS, THE CENTER, RIGHTEOUSNESS, EXALTS A NATION, BUT SIN IS A DISGRACE TO ANY PEOPLE.
PEOPLE WHO PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LOVE FINE LIFE PROSPERITY.
AND HONOR, GOD IS RIGHTEOUS AND DESIRES OF PEOPLE AND A NATION WHO ARE LIKEWISE, A PEOPLE THAT EMBODY THE TRUTH.
THOSE WHOM GOD FINDS FAITHFUL IN DESIRING AND DOING HIS WILL.
AND WITH HIS OWN MOUTH SAY, WELL DONE.
FATHER HELP US TO BECOME A NATION THAT TRULY IS UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP.
THAT DOES WHAT IS RIGHT AND GOOD BECAUSE WE ARE RIGHTEOUS BY NATURE.
AND SO LORD, WE LOOK TO YOU MAKE US A NATION LIKE THAT, OR IT'S IN CHRIST'S NAME.
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE.
DEAR MS. BAKER, MR. CAMPBELL HERE.
MR. LYONS, THIS MRS. KITCHEN, MR. WEBB HERE, MIRA GORE HERE.

UM, IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE AGAIN THIS YEAR TO GIVE YOU SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THINGS THE GOINGS ON FROM LAST YEAR AND WHAT WE ANTICIPATE THIS YEAR.
SO, UM, I'LL GET STARTED FIRST OF ALL, OUR PARTNERSHIP AS USUAL, UM, WE DO LIKE TO DO A LOT OF SPONSORING AND WE BELIEVE IN BEING A LOCAL, UH, THE LOCAL COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
AND, UH, WE DO THAT SOMETIMES THROUGH A SPONSOR DONATIONS AND SOMETIMES THROUGH PARTICIPATION OURSELVES.
UM, I WON'T GO OVER THE ENTIRE LIST THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE PICTURES OF, WE HAVE OUR RESIDENT ARTISTS THAT DID OUR CHRISTMAS, UH, WINDOW THIS YEAR.
UM, AND I SAY, RESIDENT, I SHOULD GUESS I SHOULD SAY EMPLOYEE.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE, UM, THE MR MRS. CLAUSE STILL COULD NOT VISIT YOU AND I'VE REHABILITATION SERVICES THIS LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF, UM, UH COVID BUT WE WERE ABLE TO DO VISITS ZOOM.
YOU COULD, THEY HAD DIFFERENT ROOMS AND THEY HAD DIFFERENT MICROPHONES ON, IN DIFFERENT ROOMS. AND IT WAS REALLY CONFUSING IS THAT WHO YOU WERE TALKING TO YOU AT THE TIME, BUT THERE THIS GROUP, I LOVE ATTENDING THIS MORE THAN I DO.
ANYTHING ELSE THAT I DO AS MS. CLAUS, BECAUSE THEY ARE SO APPRECIATIVE, UM, OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT THIS DOLL, THEY WANT THAT TO ALL, THEY WANT THE, UH, THE LATEST AND GREATEST AT URS.
THEY WANT SOCKS FOR THEIR BROTHER AND SISTER.
THEY WANT, UM, UH, JUST SOME SHAMPOO OR SOMETHING THAT, AND THEY ARE JUST ECSTATIC WHEN THEY GET IT.
SO THIS GROUP IS JUST REALLY WORTHY OF A LOT OF PRAISE, I BELIEVE.
UM, AND THEN PINK RIBBON GIRLS, WE PARTICIPATE, UH, IN A CASUAL MONTH IN OCTOBER AND WE DONATE ALL THE PROCEEDS THAT WE GET FROM THAT TO THE PINK RIBBON GIRLS WATER TREATMENT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WATER TREATMENT FOR A MINUTE.
WE HAVE, UM, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR I BELIEVE IN THE 1ST OF MAY, I BELIEVE TWO YEARS AGO, WE TURNED THE SOFTENING ON AND IT'S BEEN A GREAT BOON TO THE COMMUNITY.
UH, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T GET THE CALLS ABOUT THE HOT, THE, THE HARD WATER ANYMORE.
UM, IT'S BEEN, IT'S JUST BEEN REALLY AMAZING.
UM, THE SYSTEM THAT THE CITY CHOSE BECAUSE OF PARTLY BECAUSE OF FOOTPRINT AND BECAUSE THEY WANT TO STAY UP WITH THE TIMES IS THE NANOFILTRATION SYSTEM.
AND, UH, THAT PARTICULAR SYSTEM IS A PRETTY EXPENSIVE TO RUN, BUT IT'S ALSO VERY, VERY, A LOT OF GOOD THINGS HAVE COME FROM IT.
UM, THE, UH, THERE ARE FOUR SKIDS THAT ARE USED TO, UM, ACTUALLY FEED.
SO WE'RE BACK TO WATER TREATMENT, MAYBE SENSITIVE.
[00:25:01]
SO THERE ARE FOUR SKIDS THAT ARE USED, UM, TO, TO, IN ASSISTANCE TO SOFTEN THE WATER.AND GARY COULD TELL YOU A LOT, MUCH MORE ABOUT THAT, WHICH I'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO HIM IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.
UM, BUT HERE WE HAVE, UM, THE SKIDS HAVE MEMBRANES IN THEM AND SKID NEVER.
ONE OF THE FOUR OF THEM ACTUALLY STARTED REALLY DOING SOME PRETTY POOR PERFORMANCE.
UH, WE ANTICIPATED WE'D GET ABOUT 10 YEARS OUT OF THESE JUST BY TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD BEEN IN, IN THE, AND THEY'RE NOT CHEAP TO REPLACE.
SO WE ACTUALLY TRIED SEVERAL THINGS WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE GROUP THAT WAS TAKING CARE OF IT.
AND JUST ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE WARRANTY WAS UP, WE GOT A HOLD OF SOME FOLKS IN OUR NEW JERSEY OFFICE, THEY CAME DOWN, THEY PULLED ONE OF THAT SCARED IN PARTICULAR, PULLED OUT THE MEMBRANES, TOOK IT.
I WAS SHIPPED IT OFF TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
I WANT TO SAY, I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE AWEBER, WHERE IT WAS, BUT AT ANY RATE, THEY TOOK IT OUT, SEND IT OFF.
WE DID WHAT WE CALLED AN AUTOPSY ON IT.
THE AUTOPSY WAS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HELPED US DECIDE WHAT THE BEST SOLUTION WAS, WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS CAUSING THE FOULING SO TO SPEAK.
AND WE DID WITH, FROM THAT, WE WERE ABLE, ONCE THE REPORT WAS BACK, WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE A SPECIAL SOLUTION THAT ACTUALLY DID A REALLY GOOD JOB OF GETTING THE MAJORITY OF 3, 1, 2, 3, AND FOUR.
WHEN WE CLEANED THEM, THEY CAME BACK TO ALMOST PERFECT, PRACTICALLY NEW, NEW, UM, CONDITION SKID ONE.
IT HAD QUITE A BIT OF IMPROVEMENT, BUT IT IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO GO.
AT LEAST THEY WON'T ALL FOUR GO AT THE SAME TIME.
THAT ONE WAS GOING TO GO FIRST FOR SURE.
BUT IT DID IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY.
AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE MORE THING THIS YEAR.
SO DID SO WELL, IT MIGHT NOT HAVE CLEAN AGAIN THIS YEAR.
SO, UM, THAT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SKIDS.
UM, WE, UH, LIKE I SAID, WHEN THE REPORT WAS COMPLETED, WE DEVELOPED A SOLUTION AND WE WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH THAT.
UH, WE DID PERFORM OVER A 6,300 WATER QUALITY RESULTS AS ALWAYS, UH, WE PRODUCED OVER 1.4 BILLION GALLONS OF WATER, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME AS WE DID LAST YEAR.
A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE, UM, SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS, UM, NOW I'LL ASK GARY, BUT NOW AT THE STAGE, PLEASE, THIS IS GARY.
I WANTED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO HIM.
HE IS ACTUALLY OUR NEW OPERATIONS MANAGER FOR, UM, THE WATER TREATMENT FACILITY.
HE ACTUALLY CAME TO US FROM WRIGHT PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, WHERE HE WAS OPERATING THE FILTRATION SYSTEM.
I ON EXCHANGE SOFTENING PLANT, UM, BEFORE THAT, UH, WELL ACTUALLY LET ME GO START AT THE BEGINNING.
HE WAS HERE FOR A YEAR, TWO YEARS, TWO YEARS.
AND THEN HE WAS ACTUALLY, UH, HE MOVED ON TO THE CITY OF FAIRBORN, WHICH WE'VE LOST QUITE A FEW PEOPLE TO NEVERMIND.
BUT, UH, WE WERE ABLE TO, HE, HE HAD LEFT THE, THAT PLANT WHERE HE WAS THE LEAD OPERATOR AND HE WENT TO RIGHT PAT.
AND THEN WHEN WE HEARD THAT HE WAS, UH, HAD, WAS INTERESTED IN MOVING, NOT NECESSARILY FROM RIGHT PAT, BUT JUST IN GENERAL.
UH, WE CONTACTED HIM WHEN WE HAD AN OPENING AT THE TREATMENT FACILITY AND VERY PROUDLY TOOK THAT POSITION.
UM, HE IS, UH, HAS BEEN A GREAT ASSET TO THE, TO THE GROUP ALREADY.
UM, HE'S MADE A LOT MORE WORK FOR EVERYBODY, BUT WE ARE DEFINITELY, UM, YOU KNOW, HAPPY TO HAVE HIM AND HIS EXPERTISE.
AND HE'S LEARNING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF SOFTENING AS WELL AS HIS, UM, HOPE COHORT IN CRIME.
I WILL CALL THEM, UH, RON, LASTLY, CLIMATE.
NEVER SAY THAT NAME RIGHT, RON.
IT WAS UP THERE ON THE BOARD ANYWAY.
SO RON, UH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT RON.
RON'S GOT OVER 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
UH, HE'S DONE WATER SOFTENING.
HE'S BEEN A MANAGER, UH, JUST HAD THE SAME POSITION AS ME.
HE'S JUST DONE A TON OF THINGS AND HE WAS INTERESTED.
HE ALSO CAME FROM RIGHT PAT AND CAME TO VISIT US.
WE INTERVIEWED HIM, WE HIRED HIM RIGHT AWAY.
HE'S OUR CLASS THREE OPERATOR.
AND GARY IS ACTUALLY TAKING HIS CLASS THREE ARE STUDYING FOR HIS CLASS THREE NOW.
AND THEN THE PICTURES HERE THAT YOU SEE INSIDE, THAT'S THE NANOFILTRATION BUILDING.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE, UH, PRE CARTRIDGE FILTERS THERE.
UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THOSE, THAT'S A GARY QUESTION.
AND THEN THE, THE FILTERS WHERE WE ACTUALLY REMOVE THE IRON AND MANGANESE WERE JUST PAINTED THIS YEAR.
SO THAT'S A PICTURE OF THE NEW PAINT AND WATER DISTRIBUTION.
SOME OF THE SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS NOW LAST STAND UP.
THIS IS KENNETH JACOB, BUT WE CALL HIM JAKE OR JACOB, I SHOULD SAY, BUT WE CALL HIM JAKE.
UH, HAYZLETT IS HIS LAST NAME.
[00:30:01]
EPA CLASS TWO.AND BY THE WAY, GARY ALSO HAS HIS CLASS TOO.
AND, UH, HE EARNED THAT IN WATER AND IN SEWER AND, UH, HIS COLLECTION, WELL, FIRST COLLECTION LICENSE AS WELL.
HE IS IN CHARGE OF OUR DISTRIBUTION OF SYSTEM.
THIS IS OUR NEW JEFF, IF YOU REMEMBER JEFF SMITH, UM, T IS, HE ALSO STARTED OUT WORKING FOR THE CITY OF HUBER HEIGHTS AND THEN LEFT TO WORK FOR THE CITY OF VANDALIA IN IT.
AND THEN HE CAME BACK TO US FROM THE CITY VANDALIA AS OUR NEW OPERATIONS MANAGER OF COLLECTION TO DISTRIBUTION, UH, SOME OF THE, UH, THINGS.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT? YOU'RE GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, LET ME, I'LL LET YOU SIT DOWN AND DO THAT.
JUST SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE SYSTEM WE'VE GOT AT CHAMBERSBURG WATER TOWER THERE, WE ACTUALLY REPLACED THE FENCING AND WE, WE, UM, REPLACE THE ASPHALT DRIVE INTO THERE THIS LAST YEAR.
UH, WE HAD A NEW 237 MORE NEW SERVICES INVOLVED WHERE WE USED TO, I USED TO GET UP HERE AND SAY WE HAD 15 OR 16,000 CUSTOMERS.
NOW IT'S OVER 17,000 CUSTOMERS.
SO WE'RE GROWING CONTINUE TO GROW.
UH, WE HAVE, UM, WE HAD 82 BREAK, BUT HAD 22 BREAKS, WHICH IS DOWN FROM LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS 180 SOMETHING THIS YEAR, THIS MONTH, I SHOULD SAY, WE'VE HAD TWO, AND THIS IS THE 16TH COURSE.
NOW I'M GOING TO JINX MYSELF AS THIS WOULD.
UM, BUT, UH, WE ARE SLOWLY MOVING BACK INTO THE NORMAL RANGE, I BELIEVE FOR THOSE BREAKS.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE, UH, HYDRANTS THAT WE PAINTED.
REMEMBER THAT WE GOT KIND OF BEHIND ON THINGS WHEN THE COVID THING HIT, WE WERE ALLOWED TO WORK OUT ROUND PEOPLE AND ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS.
SO WE DID A LOT OF CATCH-UP THIS YEAR, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE.
WE GENERALLY TRY TO ONLY PAINT ABOUT 300.
UH, BUT WE GOT CAUGHT UP FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
I BELIEVE THEN A COUPLE OF NEW THINGS HAPPENED LAST YEAR.
ONE IS WE HAD A VALVE TRAILER THAT WAS INTRODUCED.
UM, AND THE VALVE TRAILERS, ACTUALLY IT ARRIVED.
WE THOUGHT WE WOULD GET STARTED THAT PROGRAM LAST YEAR.
BUT AGAIN, DUE TO COVID, IT DIDN'T COME UNTIL REALLY LATE IN THE YEAR.
SO WE ACTUALLY, ALL WE GOT DONE WAS TRAINING AND THEN ONCE IT ARRIVED AND THEN WE STARTED THE PROGRAM THIS YEAR.
UH, LET'S SEE, WE'VE GOT, UM, OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, YOU'VE GOT THE PICTURES OF, THIS IS, UH, THE FIRST ONE IS MAIN BREAK AND THAT'S A SHORING EQUIPMENT.
PEOPLE SAY, WELL, HOW DO YOU GET DOWN IN THOSE HOLES? AND HOW DO YOU DO IT SAFELY? THAT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT RIGHT THERE PROTECTS THEM FROM CAVAN'S WORRIES ME, BECAUSE THE ENDS ARE STILL OPEN, BUT IT'S REALLY, IT CAN BE REALLY TIGHT SPACES IN THERE.
SO, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE ASK WHEN WE HIRE SOMEBODY AS, AS, DO YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH CLAUSTROPHOBIA? WE, YOU PUT THAT ISSUE.
UM, AND THEN DOWN IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER, YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF THE VALVE EXERCISE TRAILER, UH, IN USE ACTUALLY THIS YEAR UNDER OUR WASTEWATER COLLECTION, WE DO HAVE, UM, THIS ALSO FALLS UNDER JAKE'S PREVAIL.
UH, WE HAVE A NEW SEWER INSPECTION AT THAT PROGRAM THAT BEGAN LAST YEAR.
AND, UH, WE STARTED OUT WITH SENATORS WHO WERE BEING INSPECTED AND YOU CAN SEE THE FOOTAGE UP THERE.
THAT'S QUITE A BIT, WE DIDN'T DO IT ALL BY OURSELVES.
AGAIN, ONE OF OUR SISTER COMPANIES FROM NEW JERSEY THAT ALREADY HAS THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT CAME AND HELPED US WITH THAT TO GET CAUGHT IN, CAUGHT UP AGAIN FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, BECAUSE NOW WE INSPECT AND THE BACK ON, WHICH IS THE UNIT THAT CLEANS ONLY GOES OUT IF IT HAS A SCORE OF LIKE ZERO ONE OR TWO, IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH.
AND THEN ANYTHING HIGHER THAN THAT GETS SCHEDULED AND THAT, OR I SHOULDN'T SAY ANY HIGH UP TO EIGHT, RIGHT.
AND THEN IS IT 7, 8, 8, 9 AND 10.
SO SEVEN AND EIGHT, NINE AND 10.
THOSE ARE, THAT MEANS YOU'RE CLEAR.
AND IT'S AN ACOUSTIC EQUIPMENT THAT THEY USE TO, TO ACTUALLY GET A LITTLE PIECE THERE AND THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT GOES INTO THE NEXT MANHOLE AND THEN THEY MEASURE THE SOUND OKAY.
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT WE TOOK A LOT OF PHONE CALLS, BUT I CAN'T TOP WHAT THE POLICE STATION DOES BY ANY MEANS.
AND THE NUMBERS ARE SO LIGHT THERE.
I CAN BARELY READ THEM, BUT YOU CAN SEE, UH, THAT WE DO TAKE QUITE A FEW PHONE CALLS.
WE HELPED QUITE A FEW CUSTOMERS, BUT AGAIN, IT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND I REALLY PRAISE THEM FOR THAT.
THAT'S A LOT OF DEDICATION, A LOT OF HARD WORK, AND IT'S VERY MUCH, UH, STRESSFUL.
THE FEW WE HAVE SOMETIMES CAN BE STRESSFUL.
UM, ONE DID SHARE WITH YOU THE, UH, COLLECTED COLLECTION INFORMATION FOR ME TO READINGS.
YOU SEE THERE, WE, UM, AGAIN, THAT NUMBER CONTINUES TO GROW BASED ON THE NUMBER OF, UH, HOMES, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET A READING EVERY MONTH AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT IT TOTALED UP TO THIS LAST YEAR.
UM, WE DO, WE WOULD, WE DID RESPOND, UM, TO A NEW, SEE THE CA THE COUNTS THERE FOR THE, UH, SERVICE CALLS THAT'S FOR OUR SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
NOW THAT THAT ASSIST US, THEN ONE BASICALLY RUNS THE BASIC SERVICES, UH, FOR SETTING METERS, HELPING NEW CUSTOMERS, HELPING OLDER CUSTOMERS FUNNEL OUT.
[00:35:01]
PEOPLE WHO'VE LIVED HERE BEFORE.UM, AND THEN THE OTHER ONE DOES THE MOST OF THE METER READING AND THAT TYPE OF THING.
SO WE DO HAVE THAT BROKEN OUT AND WHERE IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING PRETTY WELL.
AND WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT INTRODUCING ONE OF THEM TO POSSIBLY DOING SOME ADDITIONAL SAMPLING FOR US AT THE TREATMENT FACILITY AND TRAINING THEM TO DO THAT.
UM, AND HE'S ALSO, I GUESS, IN THE NEXT THREE WEEKS, HE'S GONNA BE WORKING OUT IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PART-TIME AS WELL.
UM, WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT, UH, E-BILLING.
WE HAVE, UH, 1900 PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY SIGNED UP FOR E-BILLING.
THAT'S A COMPLETELY FREE SERVICE.
UH, IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING TO LOOK AT YOUR BILL.
NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PAY YOUR BILL ONLINE, THERE IS A FEE THAT'S, UH, UH, WE ACTUALLY FELL, OR THE CITY FOUND THIS GROUP THAT WAS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN OURS.
I THINK IT USED TO BE 3 99, AND NOW IT'S LIKE THREE, $3, I BELIEVE.
UM, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE, UM, THE ABILITY TO PAY YOUR BILL BY TEXT, WHICH IS REALLY KIND OF COOL.
UM, WE DON'T, I DON'T HAVE A COUNT ON HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DOING THAT NOW, BUT IT IS NICE BECAUSE YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, YOU GET, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING A BILL OR ANYTHING.
IT JUST COMES TO YOU AND YOU TYPE IN A TEXT PAY.
AND THE AMOUNT, AND YOU CAN PAY YOUR BILL THERE AGAIN, SAME FEES INVOLVED.
OF COURSE, WE ALSO TAKE CREDIT CARDS IN THE OFFICE AND YOU COULD STILL PAY ALL THE TRADITIONAL WAY AS WAYS MAIL.
UH, YOU CAN DROP IT IN A NIGHT, DROP OUTSIDE, YOU CAN DROP IT.
WE HAVE A LITTLE BOX INSIDE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO STAND AND WAIT.
UM, YOU CAN DROP THOSE THINGS.
SO LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO PAY YOUR BILL.
BUT I MISS ONE, MY, I DON'T KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF IT DIDN'T SHOW UP ON THERE.
WELL, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE EXPENDITURES FOR LAST YEAR, BUT I DON'T, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE APPEARING CORRECTLY, BUT I CAN GET YOU A HARD COPY OF IT IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE.
UM, WE DID, UH, SPEND A, ROUGHLY $5 MILLION LAST YEAR IN THE SYSTEM BECAUSE WE DID A LOT OF ONE-TIME THINGS LAST YEAR, TOO.
WE BOUGHT THAT A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT, THAT ARE IN THE SYSTEM NOW, UM, I'D LIKE TO SAY, YOU'LL SEE THOSE COSTS COME DOWN TREMENDOUSLY, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS GOING UP, UP, UP AND UP.
IT'S, IT'S GETTING RIDICULOUS.
IT'S GETTING LONGER TO FIND, FIND THINGS, FIND REPLACEMENTS, FIND LOTS OF, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING THROUGH NOW AND TRYING TO MAKE A LIST OF WHAT DO WE NEED TO KEEP IN STOCK.
WE SHOULD HAVE THE LUXURY OF JUST GO PICK IT UP.
WELL, NOW A LOT OF PLACES DON'T CARRY THE STUFF AND YOU'VE GOT TO ORDER IN ADVANCE.
SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING THAT LIST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE THINGS THAT WILL, THAT WILL BACK UP.
UM, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ROSS ON THAT THAT'S BOURBON FROM THE CITY.
UM, AND THEN WHEN YOU DO FIND IT IT'S TWICE THE PRICE I, WE HAD A BID COME IN AT, YOU REMEMBER WHAT WAS THE FOURTH FOR 20,000, 15,000 WITHOUT, YEAH, THERE WAS A LIFT STATION AT THE TREATMENT PLANT IN THE, AND THE REAL COST CAME IN AT $59,000.
SO CONSEQUENTLY, WE'RE LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES, BUT IT'S, BUT WE MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE.
WE'RE HOPING THAT WE CAN FIND SOMETHING, SOMETHING LITTLE SUSAN TILL NEXT YEAR, WE'RE MAKING, GET IT PUT INTO THE BUDGET.
UM, HERE'S THE BUDGET FOR 2022.
IT DOES SEEM LIKE SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS DIDN'T SHOW UP EITHER.
I'M NOT SURE WHY, BUT, UM, THESE ARE ACTUALLY JUST WHAT WE PLANNED ON FOR THIS YEAR BEFORE WE KNEW THAT WE WEREN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO GET THINGS BEFORE WE KNEW THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING UP IN PRICE.
SO THIS WAS ACTUALLY A BUDGET PREPARED BACK IN, UH, JULY OR AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, I BELIEVE TO CONTINUE OUR COMMITMENT.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE WILL CONTINUE THE MAIN VALVE EXERCISE PROGRAM THAT I DON'T, I'M NOT SURE WE REALLY TALKED TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT, BUT, UM, VALVE EXERCISE PROGRAM, IT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY EAT AN EPA MANDATED, UM, REQUIREMENT, UH, TO EXERCISE ALL THE VALVES WITHIN THE SYSTEM.
UH, WE'RE GOING TO DO IT ON A SEVEN YEAR ROTATION.
AND THEN WE'LL PROBABLY REDUCE THAT TO FIVE YEARS WITH ALL THE CRITICAL VALVES BEING, UM, EXERCISE MORE OFTEN THAN THAT ONE PROGRAM IS COMPLETELY UNDERWAY.
SO WE STARTED THIS YEAR, UH, IN SOME OF THE PLACES WE DIDN'T THINK WE'D RUN INTO A LOT OF PROBLEMS AGAIN, BECAUSE THESE VALVES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND EVEN MORE SO NOW THAN EVER.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO EITHER WAIT IT OUT OR AT LEAST BE ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE, TO THE BUDGET AND NOT HAVE TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL MONIES FOR IT.
SO FAR, THE PROGRAM IS GOING PRETTY WELL.
I THINK WE HAVE ABOUT 122 THAT WAS DONE.
UM, AND THEN WE, UH, THIS YEAR WE DO INTEND TO CLEAN AND INSPECT, UH, WELL NUMBER TWO, UM, AGAIN, BECAUSE OF COSTS, USUALLY WE WOULD DO TWO.
WE PROBABLY WILL ONLY DO ONE THIS YEAR, PUT US BEHIND ON ANYTHING THAT I'M AWARE OF.
UM, BUT IT JUST IS, WE WON'T GET TO CLEAN TWO OF THEM AS WE HAD HOPED.
UM, AS FAR AS INSTALLING THE HIGH SERVICE, UH, I'M SORRY.
[00:40:01]
SERVICE PUMP, UM, AND DID SIMILAR.AND WE'RE LOOKING AT GETTING, UH, UH, WELL, UH, SIMILAR TO THE SIZE OF, WELL NUMBER SIX SO THAT WE CAN PRODUCE EVEN MORE WATER.
REMEMBER THAT NOW THAT YOU HAVE THE ONE PLANT AND THIS PLANT, AS IT PRODUCES, WE HAVE TO USE ABOUT 20% OF IT IS WASTED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT TAKES THE SOLIDS THERE.
THAT'S WHAT TAKES EVERYTHING OUT OF THE SOFTENING AND THAT GOES TO THE RIVER.
SO, AND THAT'S BEEN APPROVED BY EPA.
UM, AND THEN THERE'S THE STREET RELEASE OR THE WATERLINE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM THEY'RE GOING TO REST IS ACTUALLY PLANNING ON DOING WATER REPLACEMENTS THIS YEAR.
AND THAT'S JUST A LITTLE MAP THAT YOU CAN SEE THE, THE LOCATIONS WHERE HE'LL BE DOING ITS PORTIONS OF STREETS IN MOST CASES.
AND IT WILL BE THE AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN THE WORST HARD HIT WITH BREAKS.
AND WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, 1, 2, 3 WE'RE ABOUT SEVEN STREETS THERE THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE'LL BE REPLACING PORTIONS.
THE CITY WILL BE REPLACING PORTIONS OF THOSE.
UH, WATER MEANS THIS IS THE 2022 JUST CAME OUT HERE IN THE LAST MONTH OR SO, UM, RATE, UH, WHAT THEY CALL IT, UM, SURVEY.
AND THE CITY OF OAKWOOD USED TO DO THIS.
THE CITY OF PIKEVILLE HAS TAKEN IT OVER AND THEY'VE ADDED ONE CUTE KIND OF COOL LITTLE FEATURE.
AND THAT'S THE COLOR CODING SO THAT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHO DID HAVE INCREASES, WHO DIDN'T HAVE INCREASES AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO I DID HIGHLIGHT DOWN THERE AT THE BOTTOM.
NOW THIS IS THE COMBINED ONLY, I DIDN'T PUT ALL THREE SHEETS UP HERE.
WE HAVE A, WITH A SEWER ONLY, WE HAVE A WATER ONLY IN THE SEWER.
AND THE SEWER ONLY WERE ACTUALLY THE VERY LAST IT'S NOT, I DON'T HAVE THAT ONE UP HERE, BUT WE ARE, WE ARE THE LEAST EXPENSIVE UNDER SEWER THAT THERE IS AMONG THE 60, I BELIEVE IT'S 64 COMMUNITIES.
UM, AS FAR AS THE COMBINED FOR WATER AND SEWER, WE'RE NEXT TO THE LOWEST, UH, IN THAT RATE, UH, NON THEN, UH, THE WE'RE STILL IN THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE WATER ONLY, BUT IT HAS GONE UP AGAIN BECAUSE OF SOFTENING AND DIFFERENT THINGS.
I THOUGHT IT HAD A PICTURE HERE, BUT I GUESS I DON'T, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE, BE, UM, OUR DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE COLORING.
I THINK I SEE IT, BUT YOU CAN'T JUST, YOU JUST CAN'T SEE, IT'S LIKE A DARK BLUE, BUT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A LIST OF ALL THE EMPLOYEES THAT WE'VE WORKED FOR.
SO OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND THEY CERTAINLY DESERVE A LOT OF PRAISE FOR EVERYTHING THEY DID WITH THE MAIN BREAKS WITH THE, ALL THE, ALL THE SOFTENING THINGS.
WE HAD, A LOT OF THINGS START, OF COURSE, OUT OF WARRANTY.
EVERYTHING STARTS TO, YOU KNOW, NEED ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE.
AND SO THOSE THINGS ARE THERE.
UM, SINCE I DON'T HAVE EVERYONE HERE AND I WOULD NOT PRETEND TO TELL YOU THAT I COULD REMEMBER EACH AND EVERY PERSON'S NAME, ALTHOUGH I KNOW THEM, I TO RATTLE THEM OFF, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT I WILL INTRODUCE TWO MORE PEOPLE THAT CAME WITH, UH, WITH US TONIGHT.
AND AMANDA
SO SHE TAKES CARE OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE END OF IT, THINGS.
AND THEN DAN WORKS IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND HE IS A TECHNICIAN THAT WORKS ON MAIN BREAKS.
DOES OTHER THINGS HE'S A CREW LEADER OR WILL BE SHORTLY HOPEFULLY.
AND, UH, HE ALSO IS OUR SAFETY COORDINATOR.
SO HE WORKS TO TRY AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY DOES THINGS RIGHT.
WHERE'S THEIR HARD HATS WHEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO TRY TO KEEP INJURIES DOWN AND, AND EVERYBODY WORKING, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE'VE HIRED A FEW EXTRAS THERE ACTUALLY, WHOOPS, THAT'S NOT MINE THAT WE'VE HIRED A FEW EXTRAS, UM, EXTRA FOLKS.
IT IS, UH, STILL WE'RE DOWN RIGHT NOW.
UM, WE WERE DOWN TO TWO AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE TURNED THEIR RESIGNATION IN AND IS COMING TO WORK FOR YOU ALL.
AND THEY'RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT, BUT NO, THIS GENTLEMAN DESERVES IT.
UM, HE'S REALLY, HE'S BEEN WITH US FOR, UH, IN EXCESS.
I WAS GOING TO LOOK IT UP BEFORE I CAME HERE, BUT I WANT TO SAY, I KNOW HE'S BEEN HERE MORE THAN 20.
I THINK HE'S BEEN HERE MORE THAN 30 YEARS.
HE'S BEEN AROUND JUST ABOUT AS LONG AS HE AND I, WE CALL OURSELVES THE DINOSAURS WERE LIKE THE LAST OF THE, OF THE OHIO SUBURBAN NEW CROWD.
THEY CALL IT WHEN WE WERE PRIVATELY OWNED.
UM, SO WE ARE THE DINOSAURS OF THE COMMUNITY, BUT, UH, SCOTT IS, I THINK HE'LL DO A GREAT JOB FOR YOU GUYS AS INSPECTOR.
AND, UH, UH, I'M, I'M, I'M HAPPY FOR HIM.
UH, ANYWAY, SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, AS I ALWAYS SAY, I DON'T HAVE ANSWERS ALWAYS, BUT I WILL GET THEM FOR YOU IF I DON'T.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND GIVING THE PRESENTATION AGAIN.
IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AND THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU AND THE, AND THE WATER DEPARTMENT DO SUEZ.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YESTERDAY? I DO.
UH, FIRST OF ALL, WELCOME TO YOUR NEW CREW.
UM, THERE, UM, JOINING A GROUP THAT, UH, DOES A FANTASTIC JOB
[00:45:01]
FOR THE CITY, AND WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.UM, MY QUESTION TO YOU IN THIS, BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER, DO WE DO DRY BY METER READINGS? WE DO.
ANYONE ELSE? HI, WELCOME BACK.
I, TO SEE YOU GUYS WELCOME TO THE NEW PEOPLE.
AT ONE POINT, WE HAD SOME DELINQUENCIES WHEN THE PANDEMIC FIRST STARTED.
CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HOW, WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THAT? OH, THEY'RE TWO COMPLETELY CAUGHT UP THERE.
EVERYBODY'S CAUGHT A SUSPECT IN NORMAL OPERATIONS.
I THINK, UM, AFTER WE LIFTED THE, AFTER THE MANDATE WAS LIFTED, I WANT TO SEE IT TOOK ABOUT THREE MONTHS TO GET EVERYBODY BACK UP TO SPEED.
PAM, COULD I ASK YOU TO BACK UP A COUPLE OF SLIDES TO THE WELL STUDY RIGHT THERE? I'LL JUST KIND OF TELL YOU THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING AND SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE CREW.
THAT IS GREAT NEWS FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COMMUNITY.
IT'S GREAT FOR OUR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
UM, THAT PICTURE RIGHT THERE SHOULD PROBABLY JUST STAY UP ON THAT SCREEN.
ANYTIME WE'RE SITTING HERE IN COUNCIL, BECAUSE IT IS REALLY A TESTAMENT TO AN EXCELLENT JOB BY YOU AND YOUR STAFF.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR PAM? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[8. Citizens Comments]
UP.IS THAT NUMBER EIGHT CITIZENS COMMENTS? WE HAVE ONE THIS EVENING.
UM, MS. RHONDA, SOMEONE WHO CAN YOU PLEASE COVER THE PODIUM? GOOD EVENING.
DO I NEED TO STATE MY ADDRESS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF? NO, I DON'T.
I AM HERE THIS EVENING SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE CITY MANAGER SEARCH.
AND I JUST WANT IT TO GIVE MY THOUGHTS ON THAT SEARCH.
I AM NOT HERE REPRESENTING CULTURE AND DIVERSITY.
I AM HERE AS A RESIDENT OF THE CITY, AND OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T TAKE THAT HAT OFF TOO MUCH BECAUSE IT'S A PART OF WHO I AM, BUT I JUST WANT IT TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE FOUR CANDIDATES THAT ARE, UM, IN THE RUNNING TO BE CITY MANAGER, THE FINALIST.
UM, AND I JUST WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL OF WHAT ALL WE SET OUT TO DO INITIALLY BEING THAT WE WANT TO BE A MORE DIVERSE AND MORE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE CITY.
UM, AS A RESIDENT WHO WAS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN, I DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU ALL, UM, GAVE TO ONE OF THE CANDIDATES.
I WON'T MENTION CANDIDATE NAMES.
I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD, BUT I MIGHT APPRECIATE YOU MAKING HIM ONE OF THE FINAL FOUR.
UM, HOWEVER, WHEN WE LOOK AT IT FROM, I GUESS THE INCLUSIVE PERSPECTIVE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT EXTENDING ANY UNFAIR ADVANTAGE, UNFAIR, UNFAIR ADVANTAGES TO SOME CANDIDATES WHILE POSSIBLY CREATING MAYBE SOME UNCONSCIOUS BIAS OR, UM, CREATING BARRIERS FOR OTHERS.
SO THAT IS MY ASK AS A WOMAN OF COLOR.
UM, I'VE, I'VE SHARED THIS WITH YOU ALL NUMEROUS TIMES.
I DON'T SEE PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE ME ON THE DIYERS.
I DON'T SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE CITY LEADERS THAT LOOK LIKE ME, AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE SOMEONE THAT IS A MINORITY, AN OPPORTUNITY, WHETHER IT'S A PERSON OF COLOR, WHETHER IT'S A VETERAN, WHETHER IT'S A WOMAN, SOMEONE THAT'S DISABLED, SOMEONE THAT IS GAY, LESBIAN, BI TRANS, FROM THAT, FROM THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, PLEASE MAKE THAT A PRIORITY BECAUSE THEY ARE MARGINAL.
THERE ARE MARGINALIZED GROUPS AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES THAT OTHERS DO.
THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO ASK, BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT, UH, ONE OF THE FOUR CANDIDATES DOES NOT HAVE THE EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT THAT IS, THAT WAS REQUESTED, UM, WHICH I THINK HAS A MASTER'S PREFERRED.
UM, BUT A BACHELOR WAS THE REQUIREMENT.
WHEN I LOOK AT $175,000 AND THINK OF GIVING $175,000 TO A POTENTIAL CANDIDATE WHO HAS NOT GOTTEN A BACHELOR'S OR EVEN MASTER'S DEGREE, IS THAT REALISTIC.
AND I WANT YOU ALL TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE DOES EDUCATION MATTER, SHOULD IT BE THE SUM TOTAL OF THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE
[00:50:01]
WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HIRING? PROBABLY NOT.DOES EDUCATION MATTER THOUGH? YES, IT DOES.
BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE GO AND PURSUE COLLEGE DEGREES THAT SAYS THEY'VE TAKEN THE TIME THEY'VE TAKEN THE ENERGY, THEY'VE TAKEN LOANS, OR THEY'VE GOT THE FINANCES VESTED TO GET THE SKILLS NEEDED, TO DO A JOB EXPERIENCE MATTERS BECAUSE EXPERIENCE IS WHAT WE ALL NEED TO ENSURE THAT THOSE SKILLS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
AND THEN PASSION IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE WANT SOMEONE THAT'S PASSIONATE THAT LOVES OUR CITY, RIGHT? WE WANT SOMEONE THAT IS NOT JUST HERE BECAUSE THEY WANT A PAYCHECK.
WE WANT SOMEBODY THAT'S VESTED.
AND I WANT YOU ALL TO REALLY TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS YOU ALL MAKE YOUR FINAL DECISION.
AND I DO WANT TO BRING SOMETHING TO YOUR ATTENTION.
THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED THE HALO EFFECT.
THE HALO EFFECT IS A COGNITIVE BIAS IN WHICH WE ALLOW ONE OBVIOUS POSITIVE ABOUT A PERSON TO AFFECT HOW WE JUDGE THEM IN A BROADER SPECTRUM.
SO I WANT YOU ALL TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF THOSE BIASES, BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE THEM.
PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T, WE ALL DO.
I WANT YOU ALL TO BE MINDFUL OF AFFINITY BIAS, WHICH IS WHEN WE HAVE A NATURAL AFFINITY FOR SOMEONE, BECAUSE WE FIND SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH THEM.
AND THEN WE'VE GOT THAT CONFORMITY BIAS WHERE WE JUST FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO CONFORM WITH OUR PEERS BECAUSE WE FEEL PRESSURED TO DO SO.
SO I JUST WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE MAKING A DECISION THAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE TAXPAYERS.
NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE, UH, WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THE MAJORITY ARE DOING SOMETHING OR BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE WE HAVE PERSONAL OR POLITICAL AGENDAS.
AND I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO MOVE IN THE DIRECTION THAT I KNOW YOU ALL WANT US TO MOVE, YOU NEED TO KEEP THAT AT THE FOREFRONT OF YOUR MINDS, THAT YOU'RE MAKING YOUR DECISION.
AND NEXT UP
[9. Citizens Registered to Speak on Agenda Items]
ON ALREADY CITIZENS REGISTERED TO SPEAK ON AGENDA ITEMS. UH, WE HAVE THREE, UH, TO, TO SPEAK ON, UH, ITEM 11, C, AND ONE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 11, EIGHT.[10. City Manager Report]
OKAY.AND NEXT IS OUR NUMBER 10, THE CITY MANAGER REPORT BRIGHT.
I JUST A FEW ITEMS FOR COUNSEL'S ATTENTION THIS EVENING.
UH, FIRST WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THE JEANETTA STREET, UH, LIFT STATION, UH, THAT WORK STARTS TOMORROW TO FIND THAT THE GROUND'S DRIED OUT AND WE'VE GOT, UH, THE, UM, THE BORE CREW COMING IN, UH, ALSO WANNA LET KNOW THAT THIS FRIDAY, UH, WE WILL BE, UH, BIDDING THE ANNUAL WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT.
UH, SO, UH, YOU COULD BE EXPECTING THOSE BID RESULTS IN ABOUT 45 DAYS.
ALSO WANT TO LET COUNCIL KNOW THAT THE EPA HAS APPROVED OUR PERMIT TO INSTALL THE, UH, EAST WATER MAIN EXTENSION.
AND WE'LL BE PREPARING ALL OF THE APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION TO AUTHORIZE THE BID.
UH, AND COUNCIL CAN EXPECT THAT ON THE 17TH AND 23RD MEETING COMBINATION, UH, AND THEN ALSO WOULD LIKE TO, UH, JUST LET COUNCIL KNOW THAT, UH, THE FIRST FARMER'S MARKET WAS WELL ATTENDED OVER THE WEEKEND, APPROXIMATELY 300 VISITORS, UH, DESPITE THE, UH, THE CRUMMY WEATHER.
SO WE'RE EXPECTED MUCH BETTER NUMBERS IS THE WEATHER CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR COUNCIL SERVERLESS COUNCIL HAS ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME? THANKS FRANK.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN REGARDING ITEMS IN HIS REPORT? I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY FOLLOW-UP ABOUT THE COMMUNITY PARK AND THE WHOLE SITUATION THERE.
DO WE KNOW ANY MORE OR THERE ARE GOING TO BE ANYTHING REFUNDED TO THE CITY THROUGH INSURANCE, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF WE HAD KIND OF TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
OH, UH, ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE, THE INSURANCE CLAIM? YES.
UH, SO THERE WAS, UH, YES, WE HAVE PROCESSED THIS THROUGH INSURANCE, UH, AND, UH, WE'VE PREVIOUSLY COMMUNICATED THAT INFORMATION.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE, UH, UM, BUT I CAN SUBMIT THAT BACK OUT, BUT YES, WE ARE EXPECTING NOW W WE RECEIVED A PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT ALREADY, AND THEN ONCE THE, UH, THE FINAL INSTALLATION, UH, OCCURS AND WE'VE INCURRED THE, UH, UH, THE LABOR FOR THAT, I WILL SUBMIT THAT TO INSURANCE AS WELL, AND THEN WE'LL BE REIMBURSED FOR THAT, BUT, UH, I'LL PULL OUT THE, UH, THE INFORMATION AND SEND THAT
[00:55:01]
BACK OUT.SO HAD WE REACHED OUT TO THE COURT IF THE INDIVIDUALS WERE TO DO COMMUNITY SERVICE TO POSSIBLY DO PARK PICKUP, SOMETHING ALONG THAT LINE? UH, I BELIEVE THAT THE COURT, THE JUVENILE COURT, UH, FIND EACH, UH, INDIVIDUAL $500, UH, FOR, UH, FOR THAT INCIDENT, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY ADDITIONAL, UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT ANY ADDITIONAL, UH, COMMUNITY SERVICE WAS ORDERED, BUT I WILL DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT AGAIN AND COMMUNICATE THAT BACK OUT WITH THE, UH, WITH THE INSURANCE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE REQUESTED.
ANYTHING ELSE? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.
NEXT UP I HAVE NUMBER 1100 PENDING BUSINESS.

THIS, UH, THIS IS FOR A PROPOSED, A USED CAR LOT AND A LIMITED SERVICE CENTER.
AND, UH, THIS MATTER WAS BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON MARCH 15TH AND THE WORK SESSION, THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION WE HAVE HERE, BUT AT THIS, UM, WE'VE HAD THE SECOND READING.
AND IS THERE A MOTION GLENN MOTION TO ADOPT? IS THERE A SECOND, RICHARD, SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS? IS THERE ANY CASE YES.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS WOULD GO FOR.
I ASSUME BRIAN, UM, IN THE PACKET, IT'S STILL SHOWING THAT THE DRAWING IS IN THE PACKET IS STILL SHOWING THE, THE BUNCH OF CARS AT THE FRONT OF A LOT.
I KNOW WE'VE SEEN ADDITIONAL UPDATED DRAWINGS OF THIS, THAT THE BACK THOSE UP AND SPREAD THEM OUT A BIT.
UM, BUT I'M NOT SEEING THOSE IN HERE.
I'M JUST SEEING THAT ORIGINAL ONE.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS JUST A, UM, FORWARD OF THE PLANS THAT CAME THROUGH INITIALLY AND THAT THE MODIFIED PLAN THAT WAS SPOKEN OF AT THE, UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS AT THE PUBLIC HEARING, UH, THAT THOSE WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS PART OF THE FINAL APPROVAL AS IT GOES BACK THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
CAUSE I SAW THAT TOO, SO I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DID.
THAT'S NOT THE PARKING RANGE THAT WE SAW LAST TIME.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION AT, YEAH, JUST TO CLARIFY THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN, IT'S NOT WRITTEN AS CLEAN AS IT NORMALLY IS.
SO THIS MOTION IS REJECTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DENIED IT.
THAT IS THAT JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CORRECT.
I THINK THE, UM, I FORGOT WHAT THE VOTE WAS AT PLANNING COMMISSION.
UH, THE VOTE WAS THREE TO ONE.
THE RECOMMENDATION WAS THREE TO ONE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TRYING TO CALL THE ROLL PLEASE? MS. BAKER? NO.

THAT'S THE ONE THAT I HAD TALKED TO YOU ABOUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
AND WE HAD WORDED THE LEGISLATION IN A WAY THAT WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO PASS BY A SUPPLEMENT.
ACCORDING TO IT WAS A DISCUSSION WE HAD WHEN THIS WAS FIRST BEING DRAFTED TO CONCENTRATE FOR TOWNS.
WELL, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE SUPER MAJORITY.
I THOUGHT THAT DISCUSSION WAS THAT WE HAD, IF
[01:00:01]
WE PUT IT IN THE POSITIVE OR THE NEGATIVE, AND IF WE PUT IT IN, UH, APPROVING THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO VOTE, AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO VOTE TWICE IF IT WAS AGAINST IT.I GUESS I HAD A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION OF THIS GUYS.
I'LL NEED TO LOOK AT THAT, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE OKAY.
YEAH, IT WAS, IT WAS VOTED FIVE, FIVE TO THREE.
I JUST NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT.
UM, I THOUGHT WE NEEDED SIX TO GO AGAINST THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
NORMALLY THAT'D BE THE CASE, BUT I THOUGHT BASED ON THE DISCUSSION WE HAD, IT WAS THE SIMPLE MAJORITY BASED ON HOW THIS WAS INTERPRETED RICHARD QUESTION THERE.
I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO, UH, UH, IF WE HAVE TO TAKE A SMALL RECESS OR A CLERK AND LAW DIRECTOR, YOU COULD FIGURE THAT OUT.
UM, AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT.
UM, AND IF WE HAVE TO REVIEW THE EMAILS SENT, UH, BY OUR CLERK AND, UH, THROUGH OUR LAW DIRECTOR, I'D LIKE TO GET THAT HANDLED, UH, HERE TONIGHT.
I WOULD DO, UM, WE'LL TAKE A RECESS UNTIL, UNTIL TONY AND JERRY HAVE COME TO SOME FORM OF AN AGREEMENT TOPIC, TONY, TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M ON, BASED ON CONVERSATION.
SO WE WILL, UH, WE'LL COME BACK HERE AND JUST SAY THAT.
UH, SO IT'S SEVEN 14 AND WE'VE COME BACK FROM RECESS.
I THINK PART OF THE, UH, OF THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF LEGISLATION WAS, UH, A MISUNDERSTANDING FROM SOME COUNSELORS ON WHAT IT WOULD TAKE, UM, UH, FROM, UH, IN TERMS OF AN APPROVAL.
SO, UH, AT THIS POINT, UM, WE'LL JUST, WE'LL ASK IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT VOTED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MAJORITY, NO, THIS POINT, UH, TO RE, TO MAKE A MOTION, TO RECONSIDER VOTED INTO THE AFFIRMATIVE, THE AFFIRMATIVE BEING THE MAJORITY.
I MEAN, THERE WAS A NO VOTE, UH, UH, I LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER ITEM 11, 11 A, HEY, I'M A LIVE IN A, SO, AND IT WOULD BE THE PERSON THAT PERSON, IT WAS FIVE TO THREE, TECHNICALLY THAT DID NOT PASS.
SO THE, IF YOU WOULD, WHEN INSIDE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE THREE VOTES, SO WE TAKE SOMEBODY FROM ONE OF THE THREE VOTES TO TWO VOTE FOR A MOTION TO, AND I HAD SAID THAT AS THE AFFIRMATIVE, BUT IT WAS YES.
SO, UH, MR. WEBB HAS MADE A MOTION TO RECONSIDER.
IS THERE A SECOND? ANYBODY CAN SECOND.
I THINK RICHARD WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT SECOND.
THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND FOR THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER MOTION, WE CAN SERVE JUST REQUIRES FIVE VOTES, CORRECT? CORRECT SUPERINTENDENT.
UH, ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER? NO.
MOTION TO RECONSIDER PASSES FIVE TO THREE.

IS THERE A SECOND, MR. SHAWL, SECOND MOTION.
ANY DISCUSSION MRS. BERG, MR. OTTO? YES.
AND IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE CONFUSION, WE JUST HAD A, AND WITH THE APPLICANT HERE, I THINK A BRIEF EXPLANATION MAYBE FROM OUR LAW DIRECTOR OR A CLERK ON THE NEXT PROCESSES FOR, AND WHAT THAT VOTE MEANT.
TONY, IF YOU, UH, THAT MEANS THE APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCE AND THE MAJOR CHANGE TO THE BASIC AND DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN, OVERTURNING THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
UM, IT WILL GO INTO EFFECT 30 DAYS FROM TODAY'S DATE AND, UM, YOU SHOULD SEEK GUIDANCE FROM, UH, MR.

SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THE CITIZENS FIRST, BUT THEN, UH, THE FIRST ACTIVE LEGISLATIVE PIECE WOULD BE TO, UH, TO AMEND THE AGENDA TO REPLACE IT WITH THE AMENDED ORDINANCE.
WELL, WE HAVE SPEAKERS, SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND OKAY.
UH, FIRST UP WE HAVE MR. RONALD DATE.
I'LL KEEP IT BELOW FIVE MINUTES FOR YOUR MAYOR.
UH, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK ON THE VITAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE CITY AND THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
FIRST, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE DEVELOPER TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE US AS NECESSARY TO GAIN THEIR INSIGHT AND THOUGHT INTO THE PROPOSAL, ALWAYS PROFESSIONALLY FROM THE FIRST PLAN TO THIS ONE ON THE TABLE, STORMWATER RETENTION GREW ALMOST FIVE FOLD.
WHY WHEN THE DENSITY WAS DECREASED, WAS IT INCORRECT UPFRONT? AND IT WAS CAUGHT IN THERE.
I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED THE CALCULATIONS AND WHILE THEY'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO ACCURATE, I DON'T THINK THEY CAPTURE THE MITIGATING ISSUES DUE TO THE DESIGN OR HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO CATCH THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE LOWER PART OF THE PROPER, A PROPERTY NEAR THE STREAMS AND WETLANDS.
I THINK WE NEED A FULL WAR STORMWATER STUDY OF THE AREA, AND IT MIGHT HAVE TO BE BIGGER WHERE THE POND IS PROPOSED IN THE APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 25 TO 30% IN MY CALCULATIONS, AS YOU WOULD HAVE MORE RUNOFF ON THE LOWER PART THAN THE UPPER PART BECAUSE OF LESS PERMEABLE SOIL LEFT.
SECOND, UH, WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE ADEQUATE ANSWER.
WHY HERE WITH THE DENSITY, OTHER THAN DOLLARS AND CENTS THAT HAVE AN OPTION TO BUY THE PROPERTY.
THIRD, THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC IN AND AROUND THE AREA NEEDS A FULL STUDY.
WE CAN'T KEEP ON DEVELOPING WILLY-NILLY, UH, DIFFERENT PARCELS HERE AND THERE WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE FULL IMPACTS.
LOOK AT THE OTHER PROBLEMS WE HAD TRAFFIC PROBLEMS WE HAVE IN OTHER PARTS, THIRD COPIC,
[01:10:01]
FIRE ACCESS AND HOME ACCESS.THE PREVIOUS DESIGN HAD A LOOP TO ALLOW IN AND OUT ACCESS FOR ALL.
NOW, IN ORDER TO SAVE DEVELOPMENT COSTS, YOU HAVE THE FUNNEL DESIGN.
AS I CALL IT TWO FORKS, ONE AND ONE AXIS, ALMOST LIKE A WINEGLASS APPROVAL FROM THE FIRE CHIEF THAT THE DESIGN CONFORMS TO PAR CODE IS FINE, BUT WHAT'S THE INDUSTRY STANDARDS INDUSTRY STANDARD IS TWO ACCESSES.
I PITY THE LARGE RESPONSE IN CERTAIN PARTS THAT WILL IMPACT NOT JUST A SMALLER AREA, BUT HALF THE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT LOOPS FOR HOURS.
YOU HAVE AREAS OWN FOR THREE TO FIVE ACRES OF AGRICULTURE, NOT FIVE TO SIX IN THE LOWER PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
TOO MANY QUESTIONS STILL NEED TO BE ANSWERED BEFORE ANY VOTE.
I RECOMMEND TO EITHER TABLE IT FOR ANOTHER READING OR SHELVE IT UNTIL ANSWERS ARE GOTTEN.
AND A THOROUGH REVIEW CAN ONCE AGAIN, BOTTOM LINE, MY QUESTIONS AND OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED NEED TO BE ANSWERED NAMED ONE, A HOMEOWNER OR PROPERTY OWNER IN THE VICINITY OF THIS, UH, THAT'S AGAINST IT.
I OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS OR DIALOGUE FROM ANYONE WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES OR ASK FOR ANY CLARIFICATIONS.
I THINK PROPERTY OWNERS DESERVE THIS.
WE'VE MOVED TO THESE AREAS TO LIVE FOR THERE FOR A REASON.
AND, AND WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN SPOKEN TO, THIS WILL BE A 100 A YEAR ERROR IF IT IS ALLOWED TO PROCEED AS, AS DESIGN AS THERE, NO TURNING BACK, DO NOT DO IT IN THIS FORUM.
THE GIVE AND TAKES IS, IS NOT QUITE ADEQUATE AND NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED.
ALSO AS A VOLUNTEER MEMBER OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, WE HOPE THAT WHAT IS PRODUCED IS A MUCH MORE DETAILED PLAN THAT WE NOW HAVE TO ELIMINATE THE GRAY AREAS THAT WE'RE INTERPRETING.
WELL THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AGAIN.
SO TO REVIEW CITY CODE 1170 0.06 SAYS THAT NO APPROVAL SHALL BE GIVEN UNLESS THE PLANNING COMMISSION FINDS THAT SUCH PUD IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PAGE 19 OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STATES THAT THIS AREA WILL BE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME ON MEDIUM TO LARGE LOTS CODE 1170 1.0 91 SAID WILD DEVIATIONS MAY BE ALLOWED ONLY IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT SUCH DEVIATION WILL NOT MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES OR THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
YOU'VE HEARD FROM EVERY BORDERING NEIGHBOR AROUND THAT PROPERTY, AS WELL AS PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE STREET AT THE OAKS OF HOW WILL WE WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED CODE 1171 SAYS LOTS FOR DETACHED.
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES HAVE TO MEET 1140 7.0 4, 11 47 0.04 SAYS THAT LOTS IN THE CITY MUST BE 7,500 SQUARE FEET MUST BE 60 FEET WIDE MUST HAVE A 25 FOOT FRONT YARD, 20 FEET BETWEEN HOUSES AND A 40 FOOT BACKYARD.
SO ALL THESE CODES AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THIS DEVELOPMENT MEETS ONE, A 25 FOOT FRONT YARD AND ASKED FOR A VARIANCE ON EVERY OTHER ITEM.
THERE'S BEEN MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LOWERING OF STANDARDS WITHIN THE CITY.
IF ANY OF THE BORDERING NEIGHBORS WANT TO BUILD A SECOND HOME ON THEIR PROPERTY, THEY WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL THE GUIDELINES AND BUILD A 100% BRICK WRAP HOME AND MEET ALL OF THE MINIMUM CITY STANDARDS.
THESE LOT SIZES HAVE BEEN CRITICIZED.
THEY RUN FAR BELOW THE CITY STANDARDS.
YET THEY BACK UP TO MULTI ACRE HOMES.
IT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF POOR CITY PLANNING.
WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT AN AERIAL VIEW OF OUR CITY AND HOW IT'S GROWING.
IF YOU LOOK BETWEEN FITCHBURG IN CHAMBERSBURG FROM SHADY OAKS, WHICH IS JUST WEST OF THE, OF THE OAKS, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ACRES AND HUNDREDS OF HOMES, AND THEY ALL FOLLOW THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
SO WHEN ASKED BY THE MAYOR, WHY THIS PRODUCT ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, THE ANSWER WAS IT WAS A PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR SALE.
SO DOES A PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR SALE MEAN THAT WE THROW ALL CITY PLANNING OUT THE WINDOW.
[01:15:02]
WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE SAME THING, ALL ALONG COMPLIANCE.GOD BLESS YOU WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT CALLS FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON DETACHED MEDIUM TO LARGE LOTS.
THAT IS WHAT WILL FIT IN THIS FINAL PIECE OF PROPERTY.
THE DEVELOPER DID MOVE FROM ALL DUPLEXES TO MORE THAN HALF OF DUPLEXES, BUT THERE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ANY DUPLEXES HERE.
THIS IS NOT AN URBAN AREA AND IT DOES NOT SUPPORT AN URBAN DESIGN.
THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
MY NEIGHBORS THAT LIVE ON THE PROPERTY THAT BORDER THIS DEVELOPMENT HAVE VOICED THEIR CONCERNS RUNNING FROM PRIVACY ISSUES TO WATER ISSUES, TO TRESPASSING.
THEY ALL MOVED TO A RURAL AREA AND MORE OF MORE THAN HALF OF THEM MOVED IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS TO ESCAPE SUBURBAN SPRAWL AND LIVE QUIETLY ON LARGE PIECES OF LAND.
THEY BELIEVED THAT THE CITY WOULD FOLLOW ITS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND CITY CODES.
AND WHILE THAT LAND MIGHT BE DEVELOPED, IT WOULD BE DONE.
SO WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS, THERE IS NOT ANY BUFFER OR TRANSITION ZONE AS WE HAVE SEEN REQUIRED IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS.
IN FACT, IN THIS INSTANCE, THE DEVELOPER HAS ASKED TO REDUCE THE BACKYARD FROM 40 FEET TO 20, EVEN CLOSER TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT FIT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ONE IN WHICH WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE AND WORK HARD TO KEEP OUR AREA OF HUBER HEIGHTS.
ONE THAT THE CITY CAN CERTAINLY BE PROUD OF.
I ASKED THAT YOU PLEASE VOTE NO ON THIS DEVELOPMENT, AS IT STANDS IN HONOR, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE CITY CODES THAT HAVE, HAVE DEFINED THE AREA THAT WE LIVE IN.
CAN I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.
AGAIN, WE HAD, UM, A RECOMMENDATION TO AMEND THE ITEM, UM, TO SEPARATE THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FROM THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
SO, UM, I WOULD ASK FOR A MOTION IN THIS CASE TO AMEND THE RESOLUTION TO SEPARATE THE TWO, I'M SORRY, THE ORDINANCE RICHARD MOTION TO AMEND AS STATED, IS THERE A SECOND GLENN SECOND, AND THEN DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENT? I HAVE A DISGUISE.
BUT IT'S NOT SPECIFICALLY ON THE LEGISLATIVE ACTION IT'S RELATED TO THE PLAN.
SO I MEAN, YOU JUMPED RIGHT IN THERE BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE.
I KNOW, I KNOW WE ALWAYS TAKE MOTIONS AND THEN WE HAVE DISCUSSION.
I MEAN, WE'LL SOME LEEWAY, EVEN WHAT THE ANSWER, ASK THE QUESTION, MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE, WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE FIRST.
SO I THINK EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS A MOTION TO APPROVE A BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN, NOT THE BASIC AND DETAILED THAT HAD BEEN PRESENTED IN THE PAST, BUT I STILL HAVE A QUESTION.
THOSE ARE THE MOTION, MOTION TO AMEND, THEN WE'LL BE POSTOPERATIVE.
MOTION TO AMEND, AND THEN THERE'LL BE THE MOTION TO ADOPT.
BUT I HAVE A QUESTION THAT'S, THAT'S A SPILL OVER FROM THE PREVIOUS CONVERSATION AND ANOTHER MEETING BEFORE WE VOTE ON THIS.
UM, AT A PREVIOUS DISCUSSION, UM, THE CITY INDICATED, AND I BELIEVE THE DEVELOPER, WELL, THE CITY MORE THAN ANYTHING, THAT THERE WOULD BE A STORMWATER STUDY AND A TRAFFIC, UH, MORE COMPREHENSIVE TRAFFIC STUDY FOR THAT AREA.
SO MY QUESTION IS, HAVE WE INITIATED THAT STUDY? AND, UM, AND WHEN DO WE ANTICIPATE GETTING RESULTS? BECAUSE TO ME THAT DETERMINES WHERE WE GO WITH THIS, WHETHER IT'S COMBINED OR WHETHER IT'S IT'S SEPARATED.
SO, SO MY QUESTION TO BRIAN, I GUESS, IS, HAVE WE INITIATED ANY ACTION ON GETTING THOSE TWO STUDIES DONE? SO WE DID NOT BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT, UH, AT THE TIME THAT COUNCIL HAD SEEN THIS, UM, THE FIRST TIME THE DEVELOPER HAD NOT, UH, PREPARED THE DETAILED STORMWATER CALCULATIONS, SUBSEQUENTLY THE DEVELOPER HAS COMPLETED THOSE STORM WATER CALCULATIONS AND DID SUBMIT THEM FOR REVIEW.
SO BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US, THAT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE OF STORMWATER, WE
[01:20:01]
DID NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY ADDITIONAL STUDYING BASED ON THE DIRECTION THAT COUNCIL WANTED TO SEE THE DETAILED STORM WATER INFORMATION FROM THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.THE SECOND ITEM WAS THE, UH, TRAFFIC STUDY.
AND AT THE TIME I DON'T RECALL THAT A TRAFFIC STUDY HAD BEEN COMPLETED, BUT SUBSEQUENT TO COUNSEL'S INITIAL LOOK AT THIS PROJECT, THE COMPLETE TRAFFIC STUDY HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR STAFF TO REVIEW WELL, IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY AT THE LAST MEETING THAT I ATTENDED, THEY PRESENTED INFORMATION THAT IN THE MORNING HOURS, THE COMMUTE HOURS, ONLY 61 CARS WOULD BE TRAVELING ON THE STREET, UH, TO GO TO WORK BASICALLY.
UM, AND FOR THAT BIG AREA, I DON'T KNOW THAT CERTAINLY COULDN'T HAVE, UH, ENCOMPASSED ALL THE CARS COMING OUT OF, OF THE OAKS OUT OF THAT DEVELOPMENT OUT OF SILVER OAKS, OUT OF, UH, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT'S GOING IN EVENTUALLY AT THE CORNER OF BELL FOUNTAIN AND FITCHBURG.
AND SO, AS A RESULT OF THAT, I THOUGHT THAT A, THAT THE CITY WAS GOING TO DO A MORE COMPREHENSIVE, UH, TRAFFIC STUDY TO, UH, DETERMINE WHETHER THAT STREET NEEDED TO BE WIDENED.
UH, IF WE HAD TO HAVE A TURN LANE IN THERE OR WHAT THEIR PROPER RESOLUTION WAS, BECAUSE TH THOSE CALCULATIONS JUST DIDN'T SEEM TO BE RIGHT.
SO, UM, WHETHER WE BREAK THIS OUT TO ME, EVEN IF THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS TO SEE THIS, I WOULD, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE PLANNING COMMISSION WOULD PASS THIS WITHOUT HAVING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE STORMWATER AND THE TRAFFIC AT THEIR DISPOSAL.
UM, I JUST, IN THE STORM WATER THAT ENCOMPASSED, I THINK THAT WAS PRELIMINARILY DONE, OR, OR PRIMARILY DONE TO ADDRESS THE SIZE OF THE DETENTION POND.
THAT'S GOING TO BE BACK THERE.
AND I DON'T REMEMBER IT ENCOMPASSING THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
UM, AND I, AND I WAS ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF RAIN, MORE RAIN THAN USUAL.
SO WITH THE STREAM BEING DOWN THERE WERE THEY, AT THAT POINT, OUR PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO FLOODING.
UM, AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE STUDY THAT, FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, I HAVEN'T SEEN A WHOLE STUDY THAT ADDRESSES THAT.
AND, UM, OR IF THERE ARE ANY, UM, UH, WETLANDS BACK THERE, WHICH YOU USUALLY SEE ASSOCIATED WITH OUR STREAMS. SO THIS IS MY HESITATION IN WHETHER IN VOTING YES.
IN, UM, WHETHER IT'S COMBINED OR WHETHER IT'S, UH, SEPARATED.
I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE WE HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION IN FRONT OF US.
AND ONCE IT'S APPROVED, THERE'S NO GOING BACK, YOU KNOW, AND I DON'T WANT TO CREATE ANOTHER TRAFFIC PROBLEM, UH, IN THE AREA THAT SEEMS TO BE OUR MAJOR FOCUS IN PREVENTING FUTURE PROBLEMS. AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT AN UNDUE BURDEN ON THE NEIGHBORS, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO, TO WATER.
UM, SO I, I, YOU KNOW, I THINK MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I'M, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S KINDA JUST WHERE I STAND.
AND I THINK THE STUDIES SO FAR HAVE BEEN, UM, LACKING IN SOME INFORMATION.
SO, SO IT AIN'T, SO I THINK, SO I DO REMEMBER THE NUMBER 61 IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THE NUMBER THAT AARON GAVE US AS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CARS.
I THINK THAT WAS THE ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF CARS IN THE, IN THE MORNING COMMUTE COMING OUT OF THERE.
SO IT WASN'T 61 CARS TOTAL BETWEEN THE OAKS AND THIS DEVELOPMENT AND THE SILVER OAKS.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE TRAFFIC STUDY SHOWED IS THAT, THAT IS CORRECT.
DID THE TRAFFIC STUDY DOES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CURRENT, UM, UH, TRAFFIC VOLUME ON, ON BELL FOUNTAIN THAT ALONG WITH PROJECTED OUT TO 2030? I BELIEVE I DON'T HAVE THE, THE ACTUAL STUDY IN FRONT OF ME.
UM, BUT THE NUMBERS I REFERENCED WHERE THE NUMBER OF TRIPS AT PEAK HOUR THAT WOULD BE GENERATED BY THIS ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
SO, UH, IN THE MORNING THERE WOULD BE 61 TRIPS, UH, THAT'S 46 CARS EXITING AND 15 COMING IN.
AND AT THE EVENING HOUR, IT'S KIND OF REVERSED.
SO 47 COMING BACK HOME, AND THEN 27 EXITING DURING THAT ONE HOUR PERIOD.
[01:25:01]
UH, IT'S UH, AT RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE DURING PEAK HOUR, IT'S 281, UM, TR UH, VEHICLES THAT PASSED BY THIS INTERSECTION.I HAVE, I HAVE THAT WITH ME, OR I DON'T HAVE IT WITH ME, BUT I HAVE IT.
I THINK THE OTHER WITHIN WHAT, WITHIN WHAT TIME PERIOD IS IT A TWO HOUR TIME PERIOD OR AN HOUR OR WHAT IT WA I DON'T REMEMBER.
THE TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE OVER A 24 HOUR PERIOD, UM, ON A TUESDAY, I BELIEVE.
UM, BUT THAT TIP, SO A TOTAL THAT 281 WAS, UM, THE, THE PEAK MORNING TIME.
SO 61 CARS WOULD BE ADDED OR 61 TRIPS WOULD BE ADDED TO THAT DURING THAT SEVEN TO 8:00 AM PERIOD, AND ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT AT THE SAME AT THE BACK BETWEEN FIVE 30 AND SIX 30.
UM, SO THERE, THE ENGINEERS DID FORECAST OUT, UM, SORT OF THE NATURAL TRAFFIC GROWTH, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT EVERY POSSIBLE, UM, THE POTENTIALLY DEVELOPABLE LAND IN THE FUTURE.
UM, AND THEN ON, ON THE ISSUE OF STORMWATER, WHAT WAS DISCUSSED WAS HAVING A LARGER STUDY DONE, UM, THAT LOOKS AT SOME OF THE OTHER FLOODING ISSUES THAT THE NEIGHBORS WERE EXPERIENCING.
IF I RECALL CORRECTLY ON THE FRONT OF THEIR YARDS, UH, RUSS AND I BRIEFLY CHATTED ABOUT THAT THIS AFTERNOON, I'M GOING TO CHAT WITH HIM ABOUT THAT TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT THAT SCOPE REALLY ENTAILS, BECAUSE, UM, WHILE THIS DEVELOPMENT SHOULDN'T ADD TO THAT BECAUSE OF THE STORMWATER DETENTION, UM, RESTRICTIONS, WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DO WANT TO ADDRESS, OR AT LEAST LOOK AT WHAT THE, THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED BY, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE PROPERTY OWNER DUE SOUTH, WHO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING A SIGNIFICANTLY WET FRONT YARD ALL THE TIME.
THEN WOULD THAT BE ADDRESSED IN THE DETAILED PLAN? IF THERE WAS EXTRA, THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL STUDY AT THE DETAILED PLAN BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON STORM WATER RETENTION? UH, TECHNICALLY, NO.
UH, SO BECAUSE I DON'T WHAT, BUT I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT BEFOREHAND, AND WE'LL, WE'LL TALK WITH THE DEVELOPERS, IS THERE ARE A LOT MORE INPUTS, UH, OF STORMWATER COMING, NOT JUST FROM THIS PROPERTY, BUT FROM SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
AND I DON'T KNOW THE, UH, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, CAUSE I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT YET WHAT THE DRAINAGE PROFILE IS FOR THOSE SURROUNDING AREAS.
SO THERE COULD BE RUNOFF THAT WOULD HEAD THIS, THAT DIRECTION SOUTH FROM THIS SITE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THE CONTOURS SHOWED.
IT HAS MORE NORTHWEST OR SORT EXCUSE ME, NORTHEAST, UM, AND TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.
AND WHAT I REMEMBER WHERE THE CONVERSATION WAS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO HAD MENTIONED THE CONCERNS ABOUT FLOODING, IT WAS THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH.
AND SO THERE ARE, THERE WERE OTHER CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.
THAT'S NOT, PROBABLY NOT THIS SITE THAT IS, THAT IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE FLOODING OF THAT INDIVIDUAL'S PROPERTY.
AND SO RUSS, AND I WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
UM, BUT AS FAR AS THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN, UM, WE WOULD GET AGAIN, FURTHER INTO THE WEEDS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE STORMWATER RUNOFF MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS FROM THAT, FROM THAT THIS SITE CAPTURES.
UM, DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? I'M KIND OF, I FEEL LIKE I'M RAMBLING.
I GUESS I WOULD JUST, I MEAN, TO, TO NANCY'S POINT, I MEAN, I THINK SHE RAISES A VALID POINT.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE, I THINK IN SEPARATING THIS, WE JUST DON'T WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE, WHERE, UM, WHERE WE'RE CAUSING ANY ADDITIONAL ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY WITHOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT IT.
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT IN SEPARATE YOU AND ROSS HAVE A HANDLE ON THIS, UM, THAT THAT ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED.
SO IF WE FOUND THAT THAT IS AN ISSUE, HOW WOULD THIS COUNCIL FIND OUT ABOUT THAT AND HOW WOULD WE MAKE SURE ON THE BACKEND THAT THAT PARTICULAR DRAINAGE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED AND FIXED PRIOR TO ANYTHING ELSE? BECAUSE, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT IT DOESN'T COME BACK TO US.
SO, SO THAT'S THE POINT THAT NANCY MAKES THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT BECOMES CRYSTAL CLEAR TO EVERYBODY.
SO I THINK, UM, WE NEED TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A LOOK JUST IN GENERAL, THE C UH, SO I DON'T THINK LOOKING AT THIS SITE IS CONTRIBUTING.
THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE FLOODING TO THE SOUTH.
UM, I THINK THAT'S CAUSED BY ANOTHER ISSUE, UM, WHICH WOULD, WHICH TAKES, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO TAKE A SEPARATE LOOK AT THAT THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT I DO THINK THAT SEPARATING THEM OUT FROM THE DETAILED APPROVAL FOR THE BASIC AND THE DETAILED HAVING TWO SEPARATE PROCESSES IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.
[01:30:01]
THE TIME IN FOR THAT EXTRA STUDIES THEN TO MAKE IT WOULD ALLOW US AND I GET YOUR OPINION, IS THAT IT ISN'T GOING TO CAUSE A PROBLEM FOR THIS COUNCIL TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE VOTING HERE.I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF IT'S DETERMINED THAT THAT IS A PROBLEM, CONTRARY TO WHAT YOUR BELIEF OR YOUR OPINION IS.
WE HAVE A STEP IN THE PROCESS TO FIX THAT PRIOR TO ANY CONSTRUCTION, BECAUSE IF THIS IS SEPARATED, THE DETAILED PLAN FROM THE, FROM THE BASIC PLAN, FROM THE DETAILED PLAN, W THIS COUNCIL DOESN'T SEE THIS ANY LONGER.
SO I'M JUST LOOKING FOR AN ASSURANCE THAT IF THAT COMES BACK CONTRARY TO WHAT YOUR OPINION BELIEF IS, WE HAVE A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OR THAT THE STORMWATER ISSUE IS FACING.
I THINK WE CAN VERY QUICKLY DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE, THE AREAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY FLOODING.
UM, I DON'T THINK WE CAN OR SHOULD HOLD THE DEVELOPERS DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE TO A SITUATION OR A SOLVE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROPERTY.
SO I THINK WE CAN DETERMINE PRETTY QUICKLY WHETHER OR NOT THIS, UH, UM, DEVELOPMENT WOULD, WOULD IMPACT OR, OR WORSEN THE CURRENT SITUATION VERSUS THIS FLOODING IS CAUSED BY SOMETHING ELSE.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE MAY BE AN EXPENSIVE SOLVE.
AND SO I DON'T WANT, I CAN'T SAY YES, WE CAN, WE'RE GOING TO SOLVE IT BECAUSE, BUT WE CAN AT LEAST FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS DEVELOPMENT, UH, IS, IS MAKING IT WORSE OR AS NEUTRAL.
SO COULD WE, I MEAN, SO COULD WE AMEND EVEN AMEND ANY OTHER LEGISLATION TO BE CONTINGENT UPON UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T CAUSE ANY ISSUES TO STORMWATER RETENTION OUTSIDE OF WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN PROPOSED? SO THAT WAS THE CONVERSATION THAT THE LAW DIRECTOR AND I WERE JUST HAVING IN, UM, I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN HIS MOUTH, BUT EFFECTIVELY, UH, THE, UH, PROVISION NUMBER TWO, THE APPLICANT SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL STORM WATER REQUIREMENTS.
SO IF IT IS DETERMINED BY THE ENGINEER AND THE PLANNER THAT THIS PROJECT, UM, OR THAT FLOODING AT THAT SOUTHERN PROPERTY IS CAUSED FROM RUNOFF FROM THIS LOCATION, OR WOULD BE EXACERBATED BY RUNOFF FROM THIS LOCATION, THAT WOULD BE A REQUIREMENT TO BE RESOLVED PRIOR TO FINAL PERMIT APPROVAL AND ISSUANCE AS IT GOES THROUGH THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
SO I AGREE WITH THAT AND IT COULD BE A BACKSTOP.
AND IT COULD BE A SIMPLE SOLUTION IS JUST CHANGING THE GRADING PLAN.
I MEAN, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AN EXPENSIVE SOLVE, BUT YEAH, I THINK SO.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FLOODING PROBLEMS TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY.
WE HEARD FROM THE HOMEOWNERS TO THE NORTH OF THE PROPERTY, THAT WHERE THE STREAM IS WHEN WE HAVE EXCESSIVE RAIN, THAT THERE IS FLOODING THERE.
SO IF WE ARE GOING TO PUT IN MORE IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, THERE IS THAT GOING TO LEAD? IS THAT GOING TO EXACERBATE THEIR PROBLEM THERE? AND THAT IS KIND OF WHERE I WAS HOPING THAT THE STUDY WOULD LOOK ON ALL SIDES OF THAT DEVELOPMENT, NOT JUST THE SOUTH WHERE WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM.
SO THE, THE, THE STORMWATER STUDY DOES LOOK AT WHERE THE OUTFLOW WILL BE, AND WHETHER THAT OUTFLOW IS WORSE OR BETTER THAN IT CURRENTLY EXISTS OR NEUTRAL, IT NEEDS TO BE NEUTRAL OR BETTER.
UM, SO WE WILL LOOK AT THOSE CALCULATIONS AGAIN, AGAIN, THE STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS ARE ESSENTIALLY IF I CAN BOIL IT DOWN IS, DO NO HARM.
SO THE, RIGHT NOW THERE IS NOTHING STOPPING OTHER THAN WHEN THERE'S COVER CROPS, UH, YOU KNOW, REALLY STOPPING THAT, THAT RUNOFF, THIS WILL BE DIRECTED, CONSTRAINED, AND THEN METERED OUT.
UM, AND SO IT SHOULD ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE DOWNSTREAM FLOODING THAT IS OCCURRING NOW, BUT WE WILL, AGAIN, DURING THE DETAILED PLAN PROCESS, MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS IN FACT, THE CASE.
WHAT WOULD THE, UM, THE NEW EPA REGULATIONS THAT DETERMINE THE, THE RUN RATE OF THESE RETENTION PONDS? SO IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A SLOWER SEAT NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER IS FILTERED BEFORE THE WATER IS FILTERED BETTER BEFORE IT GETS TO THE, TO THE STREAMS, I GUESS IT'S BASICALLY, SO WOULD THAT HELP? IT WOULD, IT WOULD SO THAT THE NEW EPA RULES ARE ESSENTIALLY, UH, YOU HAVE TO CAPTURE A LARGER AMOUNT FOR A HEAVIER STORM PERIOD, UH, AND RELEASE IT AT A SLOWER RATE.
UM, AND THIS DEVELOPMENT FALLS UNDER THOSE NEW EPA RULES OR THE NEW STORM WATER RULES.
SO ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT SHOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER FLOOD PROTECTION, SO TO SPEAK THAN SOMETHING THAT WAS DEVELOPED 15 YEARS AGO, THEY, IN CASE THE RETENTION POND WOULD FILL UP MUCH FASTER.
[01:35:01]
WE'RE FILLING MAYBE MAYBE MUCH FASTER.IT WOULD HOLD MORE, HOLDS MORE, MORE WITH LESS CORRECT IN RELEASING THE STREET, CORRECT.
IT HOLDS MORE VOLUME AND RELEASES IT SLOWLY.
I THINK THE EXIT, THE EXIT VALVE IS LIKE FOUR INCHES.
UM, SO IT'S NOT A VERY BIG NOW.
AND THAT'S, I THINK FOR A FIVE-YEAR STORM, IT, IT VARIES, UM, A LITTLE BIT, BUT YES, IN GENERAL, UM, TODAY THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT ARE BEING BUILT TODAY, HOLD MORE WATER FOR A LONGER PERIOD THAN, THAN THOSE OF 10, 15 YEARS AGO.
SO THEY, THEY IMPROVE MOST OF THE TIME.
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE IMPROVEMENTS IN FLOODING OR LESS FLOODING DOWNSTREAM FROM NEW DEVELOPMENTS THEN PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED IF AGAIN, UNDER THE NEW RULES.
UH, THIS QUESTION IS FOR BRIAN OR AARON, BUT AT OUR LAST MEETING, I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO, AND I THINK WE AGREED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BROADEN THE SCOPE AND THE SIZE OF THE STUDY FOR THIS PROJECT AND SEE IF IT WAS AFFECTING BEYOND WHERE WE'VE LOOKED.
AND WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT BELL FOUNTAIN AND THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT THAT AND GO BEYOND MAYBE A TRAFFIC STUDY TO DETERMINE IF STAFF FELT WE NEEDED TO ADD A LANE EVEN, AND THAT THE PROJECT WAS GOING TO GENERATE MONEY THAT WE COULD USE TO SPEND ON THOSE PROJECTS.
AND WHAT I LEFT, HOW I LEFT THE LAST MEETING WAS THAT THE STORM WATER ISSUE WOULD BE ADDRESSED BASED ON MRS. BURGESS COMMENTS AND THAT THE TRAFFIC WOULD BE LOOKED AT.
AND WE WOULD GO BEYOND THE STUDY IF STAFF FELT NECESSARY TO DO THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WOULD TAKE THE DOUBT OUT OF WHAT EFFECT THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE.
AND I, I DO RECALL THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT BRINGING SOME ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE CONCERNS.
UH, I DO KNOW THAT, UH, I DO RECALL SOME OF THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE TRAFFIC THAT IS AN ADDED NOTE TO THE AMENDED ORDINANCE.
UM, MY APOLOGIES, UH, I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIRECTIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE STORM WATER, BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO BROADEN THAT, UH, BROADEN THAT.
LOOK IF THAT'S, UH, IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE COUNCIL TO ENSURE THIS PROJECT IS DONE CORRECTLY.
SO I THINK MS. BERG TALKED ABOUT NORTH AND THE EFFECT IT MIGHT HAVE GOING NORTH.
THE IMPRESSION I WAS LEFT WITH AT THE LAST MEETING WAS IF THE SCOPE IS CURRENTLY THIS LARGE, THAT FAR OUT AND JUST ENCOMPASS A LARGER AREA TO ENSURE THAT THE PROJECT WE'RE MITIGATING ANY OF THE RUNOFF OR THE TRAFFIC THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT MIGHT COST.
AND I GUESS I TOOK IT, UM, MAYBE A STEP DIFFERENTLY IN THAT.
SO WE WOULD LOOK TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T OR IMPROVES THE STORM WATER, UH, SITUATION IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
BUT THEN WE WOULD ALSO LOOK AT THE, UH, THE, UH, GREATER AREA TO SEE IF WE CURRENTLY HAVE AREAS THAT WE CAN IMPROVE THE, THE FLOODING SITUATIONS THAT ARE OCCURRING BEYOND THIS.
AND SO I THINK THERE'S REALLY TWO STUDIES.
THERE'S THE STUDY THAT IS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS PUT FORWARD.
AND I THINK THERE'S A LARGER LOOK THAT, THAT WE, AS STAFF ARE GOING TO TAKE TO SEE WHAT IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE MADE, UM, BEYOND OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THIS AREA.
UM, THAT WOULDN'T BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPER PER SE, THAT, THAT WE MAY NEED TO TAKE, TAKE ON TO HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE FLOODING ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION AS AN UPGRADE.
IN BRIAN, WOULD YOU ENSURE THAT THE LEGISLATION SPEAKS TO THAT? UH, YES, SIR.
I'M HAPPY TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, COUNCIL'S, WE'LL JUST CARRY IT OUT THERE.
I THINK YOUR COMMENTS HAD BEEN CLEAR ON WHAT THE EXPECTATION IS TONIGHT.
UM, AND IF WE NEED TO CONTRACT OUT TO GET THAT DONE, I THINK COUNSELING WOULD PROBABLY SUPPORT THAT SINCE WE'RE LOW ON RESOURCES RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND MY LAST COMMENT ON THERE WAS, UM, WAS NOT QUITE AS INTENSE, BUT, UM, I KNOW WE'VE BEEN CALLING FOR, UH, SOME, UH, TREES, SOME BUFFER BETWEEN THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT AND THE NEIGHBORS ON THE NORTH.
UM, HAVING BUILT SEVERAL HOMES AND IN WOODED AREAS, I KNOW THAT WHEN CONSTRUCTION GOES ON THAT THE EXISTING TREES IN THE AREA ARE EITHER TREMENDOUSLY STRESSED OR DAMAGED DURING CONSTRUCTION.
SO IT MIGHT BE A YEAR OR TWO OR THREE BEFORE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THEM REMOVED.
UM, AND I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT, UH, GIVING THOSE NEIGHBORS A SUFFICIENT BUFFER,
[01:40:02]
UM, WHEN THIS, WHEN THIS DEVELOPMENT IS DONE, UM, AND NOT JUST RELYING ON EXISTING, UH, TREES AND WHATEVER ELSE IS THERE.UM, SO I DON'T, UH, I DON'T REMEMBER THAT BEING SUFFICIENTLY DISCUSSED, BUT I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT SO-SO IT WAS DISCUSSED.
UM, AND SO THE, UM, THE AMENDED ORDINANCE ONE REQUIRES THAT THE, THE EXISTING TREES, UH, REMAIN ON THAT NORTHERN BUFFER, UH, DURING THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN, ONE OF OUR CONDITIONS, UH, HAVING, YOU KNOW, HAVING HEARD THIS IN BEING PART OF OTHER PROJECTS IS WE WILL REQUIRE THE DEVELOPER TO FENCE THE DRIP LINE OF THOSE TREES AS EXISTING TREES, TO A LIMIT, TO THE AMOUNT OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT DROP DRIVING OVER THE ROOTS, WHICH IS WHAT KILLS KILLS THEM.
UH, SECONDLY, IN THE ORDINANCE, THE DEVELOPER IS, UM, ADDING ADDITIONAL, UM, CON UM, EVERGREEN TREES AND SHRUBS ALONG LOTS, SIX THROUGH 12, UM, IN THE BACK TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BUFFER.
YES, MARGARET, IF I COULD EXPAND, IF THERE WAS ADDITIONAL SCREENING PAST THE LOTS, YOU JUST SPOKE TO BRIAN, THE DEVELOPMENT TO CONTINUE TO GENERATE THAT FUNDING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT STAFF WOULD ENSURE OCCURRED? UH, YES, THERE, THERE WOULD BE, UM, THERE WOULD BE AN AGREEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH, UM, UH, THE, UM, THE, UH, THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS.
SO THERE WOULD BE, UM, A DEFINED PROJECT THAT THE FUNDING WOULD BE, UH, WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH.
SO, UH, SOME OF THE COMMENTARY THAT, UH, THAT COUNCIL HAS PROVIDED TONIGHT WOULD BE INCORPORATED AS PART OF THAT LEGISLATION DEFINING THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT MONEY IS FOR NOW, WHETHER OR NOT THAT WOULD, UH, DIRECT FUND AND THE CITY WOULD DO THAT WORK, OR WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER THROUGH THE FINAL PUD, UH, TO PROVIDE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER.
WE CAN WORK THROUGH THAT, UH, IF IT'S THE WILL OF COUNCIL TO DO THAT, BUT THERE ARE AVENUES TO ENSURE THAT, UH, IF ADDITIONAL BUFFERING OR, UH, STUDIES OR WHATEVER THE DEMAND IS FROM COUNCIL, UH, THE RESOURCES WILL BE THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WORK IS DONE.
AND IS THAT LANGUAGE THAT COULD BE PUT IN THE LEGISLATION, UM, TONIGHT, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL WOULD LIKE, YOU CAN AMEND THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT AS PART OF THE PUD AGREEMENT THAT COMES BACK BEFORE COUNCIL, I, NO, THAT PUD AGREEMENT COMES THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, AFTER THE, UH, THE FINAL, UH, DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN, WE CAN INCORPORATE IT.
HOWEVER COUNCIL WOULD FEEL MOST COMFORTABLE.
SO IF COUNCIL FELT COMFORTABLE, WE CAN AMEND THE LEGISLATION THAT NIGHT TO INCLUDE THAT.
UH, I DEFER TO THE LAW DIRECTOR FOR ANY ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON THAT, BUT YES, SIR, YOU COULD DO THAT.
YEAH, RIGHT NOW, THE WAY WE HAVE THE, WHAT IS PRESENTED IS, UM, APPROVING THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION, AND THEN INCORPORATING THEIR VOLUNTARY ACTIONS AS PART OF THE PUD AGREEMENT, WHICH IS A SIMPLE MAJORITY.
IF WE'RE GOING TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE FURTHER TO PUT THINGS THAT COUNCIL WANTS IN THERE, UH, THEN I JUST POINT OUT THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE A SUPER MAJORITY TO PASS IT.
AND IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THE DEVELOPER COULD AGREE TO? I WOULD ASSUME THAT IF THE DEVELOPER WAS AMIABLE TO DO THAT, HE COULD, I KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPER'S HERE TONIGHT, SO I WOULD DEFER TO THEIR COMMENTARY.
UM, UH, WITH THE WAY YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT, I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT.
SO, UM, UM, IF WE WANT TO DO SOME FURTHER STUDIES, UM, THEN PROVIDE FOR IT IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
THE OTHER THING I MIGHT WANT TO, I CAN MAYBE OFFER IS RATHER THAN AMENDING OF THE ORDINANCE FOR THAT I'M LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN.
THERE'S ONLY TWO ADDITIONAL LOTS BEFORE THEY GET TO THE, UM, PIPELINE.
UH, WE CAN MAKE SURE IN THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT THAT SCREENING IS EXTENDED WESTWARD TO THOSE TWO ADDITIONAL LOTS.
THAT WOULD THEN THE COST OF THAT WOULD BE, UM, ENUMERATED IN THE PUD AGREEMENT WE WOULD NEED, THEY WOULD, THE, THE DEVELOPER WOULD POST A BOND AND ALL OF THAT WOULD MAKE SURE THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN.
SO I'M NOT SURE IF WE WANT NECESSARILY TO AMEND THAT AGREEMENT FOR, FOR TWO LOTS.
I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE FOR CONSIDERATION.
I I'M SATISFIED WITH THE DEVELOPER'S COMMITMENT AND IT BEING ON THE RECORD.
AND OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION.
[01:45:01]
OKAY.SO I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO AMEND THE LEGISLATION TO SEPARATE THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FROM THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
AND WE'VE HAD DISCUSSION WITH A MOTION AND A SECOND, NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
MOTION TO AMEND CARRIES FIVE TO THREE, AND THEN WE WOULD NEED A RECOMMENDATION FOR ADOPTION ON THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE AMENDED OR THE ORDINANCE, WHICH WOULD BE THE BASIC DELMONT PLAN.
MARK WAS THERE A SECOND? OKAY.
ANY DISCUSSION? TELL ME MRS. KITCHEN.
I'M PROTESTING MOTION FAILS FOUR TO THREE.
THE NEXT STEP IS ITEM 11, D JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
UH, I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO THE DEVELOPERS.
I MEAN, THIS IS, UM, AS, AS I HEARD MR. WEBB SAY, UM, AT SOME POINT MAYBE THIS COUNCIL WILL STOP ACTING LIKE THEY'RE IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY WILL ALL SHOW UP TO, UH, TO VOTE THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.
MY APOLOGIES THERE, TONY, GO AHEAD, MAYOR.
YOU'VE ALREADY, YOU'VE ALREADY USED AND AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE A BASIC
[ An Ordinance To Approve A Basic Development Plan And Rezoning To Planned Mixed Use (PM) For The Property Located At 7125 Executive Boulevard And Further Identified As Parcel Number P70-03910-0005 On The Montgomery County Auditor’s Map And Accepting The Recommendation Of The Planning Commission (Zoning Case BDP 22-12).

UH, THANK YOU, SIR.
THIS LEGISLATION IS RELATED TO A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF 197 SINGLE-STORY MULTIFAMILY UNITS WITH 9.7 ACRES OF COMMERCIAL SPACE FOR PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED BY A VOTE OF FOUR TO ONE FOR APPROVAL ON MARCH 29TH AND THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE WORK SESSION.
THERE WAS NO SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION, JUST MOVED ON TO ANOTHER READING.
AND WE HAVE SOMEONE HERE REGISTERED TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
SO WE'D ASK MS. PATRICIA DIRE TO COME TO PLAY.
I'M NOT A PUBLIC SPEAKER HERE.
UH, MY PROPERTY IS VERY CLOSE TO WHERE THIS DEVELOPMENT IS PLANNED TO GO IN.
I LIVE IN A SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING.
I'VE LIVED IN HUBER HEIGHTS SINCE 1956.
I'VE SEEN ALL OF IT, MOVED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE PLANT BEFORE PARKTOWN AND ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN AND ALL THE WAY BACK THEN.
AND THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NOT, IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
HAVE YOU ALL LOOKED AT REDWOOD THAT THIS DEVELOPER BUILT IN CARRIAGE TRACE TWO MILES UP THE ROAD FROM THIS LOCATION? HAS ANYBODY GONE TO LOOK AT THAT PERSONALLY? I THINK IT'S REALLY UGLY AND IT'S, IT'S ALL THESE HOUSES JAMMED TOGETHER WITH NO SPACE.
THEY WANT 20 FEET FROM THE SIDEWALK, WHICH BARELY FITS A PICKUP TRUCK.
AND ALL OF THIS I'VE LIVED IN TWO, TWO BUILDINGS HOOKED TOGETHER AND IN FOUR BUILDINGS TOOK TOGETHER.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU GOT PEOPLE MAKING NOISE AND ON BOTH SIDES.
AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF THOSE LOCATIONS.
I CAN'T SEE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BENEFIT THE AREA ALONG EXECUTIVE BOULEVARD.
AND THE SAME THING IS LESS THAN TWO MILES UP THE ROAD, BUT THEY WANT TO DO IT AGAIN.
[01:50:01]
DON'T REZONE THIS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.IT'S SET UP TO SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE RETAIL COMING IN.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR LIKE RESTAURANTS AND NICE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO GO.
I'M JUST SPEAKING EMOTIONALLY.
I JUST IMPLORE YOU TO NOT REZONE THIS.
SO, UH, AT THIS POINT WOULD REQUIRE A MOTION, RICHARD.
UM, COULD YOU PLEASE REFRESH, UH, COUNCIL OR THE CLERK, UH, AS THE ACTIONS TOOK PLACE AT THE WORK SESSION REGARDING THIS ITEM? THE RECOMMENDATION IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.
THERE WAS NO FIRM RECOMMENDATIONS WAS JUST, IT WAS ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR THE SECOND READINGS.
UM, MAY OR MAY I ASK THE CLERK IF THERE'S ANY FURTHER ACTION THAT IS NEEDED BY STAFF ON THIS ITEM, UM, OR A STAFF, UH, UM, WOULD STAFF BE SATISFIED WITH A BOAT TONIGHT? ARE THEY, DO THEY HAVE ANY OTHER FURTHER WORK ON THIS ITEM? RIGHT? UH, NO STAFF IS SATISFIED WITH THIS PLAN.
WE'VE WORKED WITH THE DEVELOPER EXTENSIVELY TO BRING BEFORE YOU, WHAT IS, UH, WHAT IS HERE TONIGHT? AND, UH, WE WOULD ASK YOU TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS PROJECT, MARY AND IN LIGHT OF THE COMMENTS MADE BY THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT FOR A SECOND.
AND, UH, CAN WE HAVE DISCUSSION DISCUSSION? I BELIEVE RICHARD, YOU HAD COMMENTED AT THE WORK SESSION YOU WERE GOING TO VOTE.
I'M GOING TO JOIN YOU IN THAT.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, TONY, CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.

UH, THIS LEGISLATION WILL MAKE $237,000 AVAILABLE JULY ONE, UH, FOR THE PURPOSES OF HIRING FOUR ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDICS.

UM, IS THERE A MOTION GLENN MOTION TO ADOPT? IS THERE A SECOND RICHARD, SECOND EMOTION AND A SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION? TONY? MR. SHAW, MS. BAKER? NO.
BASED ON, I'LL JUST SOLELY BASED ON THE DISCUSSION, UM, THAT WE HAD AND, UH, THE FIRE CHIEF'S RECOMMENDATION THAT, UH, HE WOULD RATHER WAIT UNTIL 20, 23 TO HIRE THOSE FIREFIGHTERS DUE TO AN EXPANDED, UM, CANDIDATE POOL IN DECEMBER.

UH, BEFORE I BLOW MY LID AT THE NEXT MEETING, HOWEVER, I THINK AT THE NEXT WORST WORK SESSION, I THINK IT'S A VERY APPROPRIATE, AND I THINK WE'RE DOING A CONVERSATION AND MAYBE A REVISIT ON HOW THIS CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF, THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT, UH, REVIEWS OF LIQUOR PERMITS AND WHAT REPORTS THE CITY COUNCIL GETS BACK WHEN WE GET TO THIS

AND NEXT IS I AM 12 B ITEM 12, BE A PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR MAY 9TH, 2022 BY THE HUMAN RIGHTS CITY COUNCIL FOR CASE BDP TWO, TWO DASH ONE THREE.THE APPLICANT IS HARTMAN ONE, LLC.
THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND A REZONING TO PLANT OFFICE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 76 1 1 OLD TROY PIKE AND FURTHER DESCRIBED AS PARCEL ID P 7 0 0 4 0 0 5 0 1 4 0 ON THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY AUDITOR'S MAP.
AND THE PUBLIC HEARING NEWS SCHEDULED FOR MAY 9TH, 2020 TO BUY THE RIGHTS TO THE COUNCIL FOR CASE VDP 22 DASH 13 IS OPEN AND NEXT I WAS CALLING THE CITY STAFF TO MAKE ITS INITIAL PRESENTATION.
OKAY, GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, SO I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSION AT THE WORK SESSION.
SO I WILL SORT OF BUZZ THROUGH THIS, UH, PRESENTATION FAIRLY QUICKLY.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE SITE, UH, IS THE BACK A LOT OF THE EXISTING RURAL KING.
UH, IT IS CURRENTLY 1.1 ACRES.
THAT'S THE, UH, THAT IS THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT THAT THE DEVELOPER HAS AT THE MOMENT.
THE EXISTING LAND USES, UH, RETAIL, MARGINAL PARKING, UH, SOME OUTDOOR STORAGE AND DISPLAY.
UM, THE APPLICANTS REQUESTING REZONING, UH, TO PLANT OFFICE TO CONSTRUCT A 10,000 OR ALMOST 11,000 SQUARE FOOT EMERGENCY OUTPATIENT MEDICAL FACILITY THAT HAS 10 EXAM ROOMS, ABOUT 15 EMPLOYEES.
AND THEY ANTICIPATE 30 TO 40 PATIENTS INITIALLY AND 50 TO 60 DAILY, UH, WHEN THIS IS FULLY OPERATIONAL AND PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT, THE RED OUTLINE IS WHERE THE, THE FACILITY WOULD ROUGHLY SIT.
UM, THERE'S A LARGE 15, WELL, THERE'S A 15 FOOT EASEMENT, UH, OF A LARGE, UH, SANITARY LINE THAT GOES, THAT RUNS NORTH SOUTH.
AND SO, UH, THIS IS THE SITE, UH, SUPERIMPOSED, UH, OVER THAT.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE GENERAL LOCATION, UH, WITHIN THAT PARKING AREA ON, UM, IN WELL IN THE RURAL KING LOT.
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY THE THIRD ITERATION OF SITE PLANS THAT WE'VE HAD, OR THE FIRST VERSION THAT THEY SUBMITTED HAD NO, UM, CURB CUTS ON THE TAYLORSVILLE ROAD, THE SECOND, UH, THE, THE AX.
THEN THEY CAME BACK AND WANTED TO ADD AN ACCESS POINT ON TAYLORSVILLE.
SO TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR, UH, EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND PATIENTS TO, TO, UH, GET INTO THE FACILITY THAT WAS LOCATED OVER THE EASEMENT ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE, OF THE SITE AND THIS THIRD, MOST RECENT, UM, UH, SITE PLAN AFTER CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION WITH PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY MOVED TO THE, THE ACCESS, UH, WEST, AND THEY SLID THE BUILDING, UH, WEST A LITTLE BIT TO GET AWAY FROM, UH, THAT SEWER EASEMENT.
SO MEDICAL USES ARE PRIMARILY PROHIBITED OR EXCUSE ME, PERMITTED IN THE PLANNED OFFICE DISTRICT.
UM, AND THE REVISED SITE PLAN DOES COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE, UH, THE PERIMETER BUFFER YARD.
UM, THEY USE REQUIRES 45 SPACES.
61 WERE ILLUSTRATED ONLY 38 ARE ON SITE.
THE APPLICANT CONTINUES TO WORK WITH RURAL KING ON, UM, BASICALLY SHARED PARKING AND MAKING SURE THE ACCESS ALIGNS WITH, UH, WITH THEIR, UH, BIG EXISTING TRAVEL LANES OF THE PARKING LOT.
UH, THEY ARE ASKING FOR MORE GROUND SIGNS THAN ARE, OR MORE SIGNAGE THAN IS REALLY A PERMITTED UNDER THE CODE, ALTHOUGH IT IS A PLAIN DEVELOPMENT.
SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS GREAT LATITUDE, UM, BUT ESSENTIALLY 150 SQUARE FOOT CORPORATE SIGNAGE, AND THEN 150 SQUARE FOOT OF, UH, EMERGENCY DIRECTIONAL SIGNS.
AS FAR AS WALL SIGNS ARE PROPOSED.
UM, WE HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, UH, A, A LARGE, UH, SHOPPING CENTER SIGN ON OLD TROY PIKE.
UM, THEY HAVE NOT DECIDED THAT'S THE DIRECTION THEY WANT TO GO.
SO WE'VE KIND OF BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH ON, ON THAT.
YOU SAW THIS DURING THE WORK SESSION.
THIS IS, UH, BASICALLY THE, THE WAY THE SIGNAGE COULD, UH, IS PROPOSED TO LOOK AT.
[02:00:01]
THE APPROVAL CAN BE MADE OR THAT THE STANDARDS APPROVAL OUTLINED IN 11 71 0 6 CAN BE MET.UM, THE, UH, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THESE FIVE, UH, CONDITIONS.
UH, I DID TALK TO THE APPLICANT THIS AFTERNOON.
THEY ARE, UM, CONTINUING TO REFINE THE SITE PLAN BASED ON THE CONVERSATIONS THAT THEY HEARD, UH, IN THE DIALOGUE THAT YOU HAD, UH, DURING THE WORK SESSION.
SO I ANTICIPATE WE WILL HAVE, UH, ANOTHER, UH, THEY WOULD LIKE TO BRING BACK ANOTHER, UH, SITE PLAN TO, TO YOU AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION OR, OR SUBSEQUENT ONE.
SO, UH, WE WILL WORK WITH THEM ON ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS THAT, THAT WERE SPELLED OUT AT THAT WORK SESSION.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS OF ME ANY QUESTIONS FOR ERIN? OH, WAIT TO THAT PART OF THE PUBLIC HERE.
SO I WOULD ASK ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF APARTMENT ONE, LLC, TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RIGHT HERE.
NEXT, UH, JERRY LAW DIRECTOR MAKE ANY COMMENTS, HAVE ANYTHING.
UH, ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE, THE CITY, IF YOU WERE HIKES TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION? I HAVE NOBODY HERE FROM THE CITY.
IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE? IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AGAINST THE APPROVAL OF THIS ISSUE? OKAY.
NEXT I CALLED MEMBERS OF HE BRIGHT CITY COUNCIL AND MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
UM, MARY, I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM, UH, UM, A COUPLE OF THINGS.
UM, AARON AT OUR LAST WORK SESSION, I'M SURE YOU GOT SOME COPIOUS NOTES OF THAT MEETING AND SOME FEEDBACK.
I THINK ONE OF THE MAIN ITEMS, UM, LET ME BACK UP HERE, UM, WAS THE INDIVIDUALS WERE GOING TO WORK AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE, UH, THE OWNER OF THE PROPOSED, UM, SITE OWNER, UM, AND DETERMINE IF THAT THE, UM, CUT OUT ALONG TAYLORSVILLE F UH, THAT WAS A D THAT WAS A DEAL BREAKER FOR THEM.
YOU SAID YOU SPOKE WITH THEM TODAY.
I KNOW THAT WAS A CONVERSATION THAT, UH, I HAD BROUGHT UP, I BELIEVE.
UM, COUNCILMAN CAMPBELL, UH, HAD THAT SAME QUESTION AS WELL.
UM, DID YOU GET AN ANSWER TO THAT TODAY WHEN YOU SPOKE WITH THEM? SO THEY HAVE NOT CONFIRMED, UH, EVERYTHING WITH THE, WITH THE CLIENT OR THEIR, THEIR USER YET, BUT WHAT WAS INTIMATED TO ME IS THAT IT'S NOT A DEAL BREAKER.
IN FACT, THAT WAS THEIR FIRST SITE PLAN TO BEGIN WITH IS THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS ON TO TAYLORSVILLE.
AND I'M SPEAKING WITH ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
I WAS, UH, I WAS LED TO BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS THE FIRST DESIGN WITH NO ACCESS ONTO ON TO TAYLORSVILLE.
UM, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US AT THE LAST WORK SESSION.
UM, HOWEVER, I THINK AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT PLAN AND WHATEVER, WHATEVER OTHER CHANGES, UM, THE, UM, SITE DEVELOPER, UM, BRINGS FORWARD.
WE'RE JUST RICHARD AND I, AND I AGREE WITH THAT.
I THINK THAT'S A BETTER PLAN, BUT I WOULD EXPECT TO HEAR THEIR REBUTTAL TO THAT EVENTUALLY IS GOING TO BE, UM, WITH NO ACCESS ON THE TAYLORSVILLE WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE TUCKED AWAY IN THAT PARKING LOT.
THEIR ADDRESS IS GOING TO BE PHYSICALLY LISTED AS AN OLD TROY PIKE ADDRESS.
AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE WHAT THEIR BIGGER, I THINK, WHAT THEIR BIGGER, WHAT THEIR BIGGER ISSUE IS GOING TO BE.
UH, JUST BECAUSE SHE, SHE BROUGHT THAT UP WHEN SHE CAME TO THE PODIUM AND SPOKE ABOUT THAT.
SO I'M NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU.
I LIKE NO ACCESS ON THE TAYLORSVILLE, BUT I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE, THE REBUTTAL.
WELL, AND I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WE BROUGHT UP MAYOR, UM, WAS MOVING THE ENTIRE ACCESS, UM, OR MAKING IT MORE DEFINED WITH, UH, SOME SORT OF, YOU KNOW, LIGHTENED SHOPPING CENTER SIGN, WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
UM, BUT I BELIEVE, UH, MRS. ROYAL, YOU SAID THAT THAT'S KIND OF IN THE WORKS THAT THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION GOING ON, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO, UM, THEY HAD WANTED A, UH, SORT OF HALFWAY THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
THEY WANTED A LARGE PYLON SIGN ON, UM, OLD TROY PIKE.
UH, I TOLD HIM THAT I THOUGHT THAT WAS PROBABLY A NON-STARTER, UH, AND NOT TO DISPARAGE, UM, ANY AREAS, BUT I SAID, I DON'T WANT THIS TO LOOK LIKE MILLER LANE.
UH, AND SO WE WERE, UH, LOOKING AT A MULTITENANT SHOPPING CENTER SIGN BECAUSE THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING FOR RURAL KING AND THOSE ASSOCIATED, UH, USES.
SO, UH, BUT THEY HAVE COME BACK WITH A COUPLE OF DESIGNS THAT WOULD HAVE THEIR FACILITY ALONG WITH THE RURAL KING AND MAYBE ONE OR TWO OTHER, UM, TENANTS IN THAT SHOPPING CENTER THAT'S PROVIDED, IT'S ALLOWED BY CODE.
I THINK AN EASIER LIFT FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAN JUST A, A, A STAND ALONE 30 FOOT SIGN IS JUST THEM.
I DO THINK THAT THEY PROBABLY WILL WANT TO HAVE ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE ON TAYLORSVILLE BECAUSE THE GPS WILL TAKE PEOPLE THERE.
UH, AND SO WHETHER THAT DIRECTS THEM TO THE EXISTING, UH, RURAL KING, UH, ENTRANCE FURTHER WEST OR AROUND,
[02:05:01]
UH, ON THE OLD TROY PIKE, I THINK THAT'S YET TO BE DETERMINED.THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
UM, I KNOW ONE OF THE OTHER TOPICS AND I HOPE IT'S AN APPROPRIATE CONVERSATION TO BRING UP DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING, AS WE DISCUSSED IT AT THE WORK SESSION, UM, WAS, UH, WAS THE RURAL KING PROPERTY ITSELF.
UM, I KNOW IT WAS A DISCUSSION DURING THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON THE OUTSIDE SALES AND STORAGE.
UM, I PERSONALLY WAS OVER IN THAT AREA THIS WEEKEND, UM, AS I'M DOING SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO MY HOME AND MY PROPERTY.
AND, UH, IT KIND OF FEELS LIKE IT JUST CONTINUES TO GROW AND GROW AND GET OUT OF CONTROL.
UM, UH, THE, UH, SIEMENS BLOCKS YOU SAY, UH, KEEP KIND OF MOVING.
UH, THEY KIND OF KEEP CHANGING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON THEIR OWN.
AND, AND, AND TO A POINT, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
UM, BUT, UH, I THINK THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM, UM, NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, UM, SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
UM, AND AS I STATED AT THE WORK SESSION, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS DEVELOPER CAME IN AT THE RIGHT TIME OR THE WRONG TIME, BUT I THINK THERE W THIS COUNCIL, AT LEAST IN MY OPINION, HAS MORE QUESTIONS THAN WHAT WE HAVE ANSWERS.
UM, AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE THE DETRIMENT OF THIS PROJECT.
HOWEVER, AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK IN ORDER TO GET THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN OF A CONCERN THERE FOR A LONG TIME, AND THAT ARE AS COMING TO MORE OF A CONCERN WITH THE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE STREET.
UM, I THINK IT'S HIGH TIME THAT WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
I KNOW I'M SURE YOU PROBABLY GOT SOME SERIOUS NOTES ON THAT.
UH, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK PRIOR TO THE WORK SESSION, I'D CERTAINLY LOVE TO HEAR IT.
I CAN TELL YOU NOW THAT, UM, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WORK SESSION, UM, ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY BEGAN TO OCCUR ON THAT SITE, I'VE BEEN COPIED INTO NUMBER, UH, NUMEROUS EMAILS FROM, UH, DON MAILLARD FROM THE ZONING, UH, DIVISION, UH, TO THE, UM, CORPORATE COUNCIL AT, UM, RURAL KING, UH, LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THEY'RE IN VIOLATION OF THE PUD, UH, AND THE VARIANCES THAT HAD BEEN GRANTED, THEY ARE HAVING THAT DIALOGUE AND TRYING TO GET THE LOCAL STORE MANAGER INVOLVED.
UH, THEY'VE HAD APPARENTLY QUITE SOME TURNOVER IN, UH, IN STORE MANAGEMENT, SO THAT ENFORCEMENT AND ADDRESSING THE ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IS, IS UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW.
I DO APOLOGIZE TASKS AS CLARIFYING QUESTION.
ARE WE SENDING LETTERS OR DID WE PERSONALLY WALK INTO THE BUSINESS AND HAVE A CONVERSATION? I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.
I HAVE ONLY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN EMAIL.
UH, I JUST GOT BACK INTO TOWN SATURDAY.
SO I'VE ONLY BEEN PART OF ON SOME EMAIL STRING.
I WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE THAT WE'RE PUTTING FEET IN THE BUILDING.
YEAH, I THINK THIS ONE, RICHARD, I MEAN, THIS IS, UM, BECAUSE NOT ONLY, I MEAN, AFTER WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION LAST TIME BRIAN HAD MENTIONED, I THINK WE HAVE SOME OTHER ZONING ISSUES WITH SOME OTHER BUSINESSES DOING THE SAME THING.
SO I THINK THE LINE OF QUESTIONING HERE FOR, UH, FOR RURAL KING, UH, AT THAT POINT, UH, CERTAINLY IS NOT FALLING ON DEAF EARS.
AND I THINK THE OVERALL ZONING CODE REGARDING THIS CLEANING UP LOTS OF AREAS, I SAY IT MIGHT BE IN VIOLATION.
THIS WILL BE A WORK SESSION TOPIC VERY SOON.
UM, WE'RE, WE'LL DISCUSS THAT EVEN SEPARATELY THAN, THAN THE ISSUE HERE WITH, UH, WITH THE HOSPITAL.
BUT I THINK ALL OF IT GOES HAND IN HAND AND I, AND I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT UP BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WAS BEING ABLE TO USE THAT AS LEVERAGE FOR THE HOSPITAL FACILITY TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE MORE OF THE PROPERTY IN THE PARKING LOT, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT SPACE AS THEIR STORAGE FACILITY AND ANY LONGER.
SO THE EXTENT THAT IF THAT HELPS, UM, THE FACILITY HERE OBTAIN MORE OF THAT PROPERTY TO MAKE THAT SITE PLAN WORK BETTER.
AND I THINK CERTAINLY I'M, I'M IN MOST FAVOR OF THAT, BUT I THINK THE BROADER PICTURE OF, OF, OF HOW SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES ARE VIOLATING OUR ZONING CODE, WE NEED TO HAVE A SPECIFIC WORK SESSION TOPIC ABOUT THAT AND MAKE SURE WE'RE GIVING DIRECT, UM, FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION TO STAFF ON HOW TO, ON HOW TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES OUTSIDE OF THE, OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SITE.
IT ALL KIND OF GOES HAND IN HAND, BUT I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT WOULD BE A TOPIC ON WHICH NO, I, AND I APPRECIATE IT.
I THINK I WAS DRIVING A HUNDRED MILES TO GET TWO FEET, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU.
UM, ONE LAST ITEM IS, UM, WE WERE, UM, YOU HAD BROUGHT UP AT THE LAST CONVERSATION, UH, AT THE WORK SESSION, WAS THAT ACCESS ROAD.
UM, I KNOW THAT WAS A TOPIC THAT THE DEVELOPERS HAD BROUGHT UP AS THE INDIVIDUALS WITH THE SIGNAGE.
UM, I, I JUST HOPE THAT WITH STAFF, THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION THAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT AS WELL.
UM, ONE OF MY HUGE CONCERNS THAT, UH, THE YOUNG LADY HAD, I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME, UM, WAS THE, THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE WITH THE AMBULATORY, UM, IN AND OUT SHE WAS PART OF THEIR WAYFINDING COMMITTEE.
I, I JUST HAD A HUGE W WHEN SHE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR,
[02:10:01]
YOU KNOW, AMBULANCES ONLY.AND, YOU KNOW, I, I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME, BLACK FRIDAY, PEOPLE TRYING TO GET, YOU KNOW, FROM POINT A TO POINT B, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE ALL UP AND DOWN THERE, AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THERE.
UM, I JUST REALLY HOPE THAT DEVELOPERS USE A DIFFERENT SITE PLAN, UM, AND INCORPORATE THAT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE ESPECIALLY BEING NEAR THE ACCESS ROAD, THAT WAS IN QUESTION THAT GOES TO NOWHERE NOW.
UM, I, I, THAT, THAT WAS A CONCERN.
IT WAS A CONCERN TO THEM AS WELL.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMENTS.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO IS PRESENT, WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF, OR AGAINST THE APPROVAL OF THIS PARTICULAR CENTER CASE? OKAY.
SO THE PUBLIC HEARING BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CASE BDP 22 DASH 13 IS HEREBY CLOSED.
AND SO NEXT WE WOULD GO TO ITEM 11, SEEK CORRECT.
[ A Public Hearing Scheduled For May 9, 2022 By The Huber Heights City Council For Zoning Case MJC 22-14. The Applicant Is Parveen Wadhwa. The Applicant Is Requesting Approval Of A Major Change To The Basic Development Plan And Approval Of A Detailed Development Plan For Property Located At 6025 Taylorsville Road And Further Described As Parcel ID P70 04005 0006 On The Montgomery County Auditor's Map.]
C A PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR MAY 9TH, 2022 BY THE HUMAN RIGHTS CITY COUNCIL PRESENTING CASE MJC TWO, TWO DASH ONE FOUR.THE APPLICANT IS PARVEEN WILDHORSE.
UH, APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A MAJOR CHANGE TO THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND APPROVAL OF A DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6 0 2 5 TAYLORSVILLE ROAD FURTHER DESCRIBED AS PARCEL IDP 7 0 0 4 0 0 5 0 0 0 6 ON THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY AUDITOR'S MAP.
AND THE PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR MAY 9TH, 2022 BY THE HEBREW, I'D SAY COUNSEL FOR CASE MJC 22 DASH 14 THIS YEAR BY HOPING.
AND I WOULD NOW CALL THEM CITY STAFF TO MAKE THEIR INITIAL PRESENTATION, ERIC.
SO THIS IS REALLY A MAJOR CHANGE TO THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO ADD ADDITIONAL USES TO THIS PARTICULAR, UM, COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE.
UM, WHEN THIS WAS APPROVED BY PLANNING COMMISSION, IT WAS LIMITED TO TWO USES A CONVENIENCE STORE AND A LAUNDROMAT.
UH, I THINK THERE WAS MAYBE SOME, SOME INTERPRETATION, UM, CONFUSION ON HOW THIS WOULD, WOULD PLAY OUT.
SO THE APPLICANT IS ASKING FOR A MAJOR CHANGE SIMPLY TO BROADEN THE PERMITTED USES WITHIN THIS, UH, WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT.
SO THIS IS THE SITE, JUST DOWN THE STREET ON A TAYLORSVILLE IT'S ONE AND A HALF ACRES, A ZONE PLAN COMMERCIAL.
UM, AGAIN, THE APPLICANT IS JUST, UH, WANTING THAT CHANGE TO ADD POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL REESE, UH, PERMITTED USES SUCH AS A RETAIL COMMERCIAL OR POSSIBLY OFFICE SPACE.
UM, I WILL TELL YOU, UH, THIS IS THE MOST DETAILED, DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WE HAVE SEEN, OR AT LEAST I'VE SEEN SO FAR.
UM, THE APPLICANT DID EVERYTHING CORRECTLY, UH, AS FAR AS LANDSCAPING SITE PLANNING, EVERYTHING.
UM, SO, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION DID APPROVE THE DETAILED DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
THIS IS REALLY AGAIN, JUST TO BROADEN THE JUICES.
SO YOU SAW THIS DURING THE WORK SESSION, THE UPPER TAIL, THE BUILDING ELEVATIONS.
UM, SO THE APPLICANT, THE STANDARDS THAT WERE, UH, THAT THE APPLICANT DESIGNED THE PARKING, UM, LOT TWO WAS BASED ON SPECIALTY RETAIL, COMMERCIAL SPECIALTY FOOD STORES, PERSONAL SERVICE COMMERCIAL CENTER, AND SHOPPING CENTER USE THAT AS A PARKING CATEGORY WITHIN THE ZONING CODE.
SO, UH, STAFF FEELS THAT THERE'S VERY LITTLE IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY, UH, BY BROADENING THOSE USES BECAUSE THIS, THE SITE IS BUILT TO THIS PARKING STANDARD.
UH, AND SO WE RECOMMENDED THAT THE, UH, THAT, THAT BROADER SPECTRUM OF PERMITTED USES AS RETAIL, COMMERCIAL, ET CETERA, ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE BUILDING DESIGN.
UH, AND IT WAS APPROVED THROUGH THE REZONING ORIGINALLY, UH, AS FAR AS THE, UM, THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN, THE AMOUNT OF PARKING, ET CETERA.
SO WE RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO THE MAJOR CHANGE, TO THE, UH, TO THE BASIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH THE CONDITION THAT ANY PROPOSED USES MUST CONFORM TO THAT PARKING STANDARD.
SO THE AGGREGATE OF THE TWO OR THREE USES WITHIN THERE, UH, CANNOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF PARKING REQUIRED BY ZONING THAT SHOULD, UM, UH, AMELIORATE OR LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF, I GUESS, EXCESS TRAFFIC OR CONCERNS TO THE, TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY PLANNING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL, BUT THEY ADDED, UH, A COUPLE OF CONDITIONS.
ONE THAT SWEEPSTAKES CAFES BE PROHIBITED.
UH, THEY, UH, LIMITED THE HOUR OF OPERATIONS FROM 5:00 AM TO MIDNIGHT.
UH, AND THEN THERE WERE A FEW MINOR ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS THAT BASICALLY DEALT WITH, UH, SOME EASEMENTS.
UM, THE APPLICANT WAS, WAS AMENABLE TO THE HOURS OF OPERATION LIMITATION.
AND SO PLANNING COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
[02:15:01]
UH, NEXT I'D CALL AND REPRESENTATIVES OF PARVING WOTWOD TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IF HE'S HERE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK, UH, CERTAINLY CERTAINLY WELCOME TO IT'S NOT NECESSARY, BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO, YOU'RE CERTAINLY WELCOME TO THANK YOU.SAME THING, LIKE WORK, SO THERE'S NO.
UH, WELL, I'D LIKE TO FOLLOW UP AND JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING SUCH DETAILED PLANS AND YOUR DETAILED PLAN.
WHEN, WHEN, WHEN AARON SAYS THAT SOME OF THE BEST HE'S EVER SEEN THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.
SO, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT, JERRY.
THERE'S NO OTHER REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE CITY HERE TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
IS THERE ANYONE PRESENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, THEIR OWN PRESIDENT WHO WISHES TO SPEAK AGAINST THE APPROVAL OF THIS ISSUE? OKAY.
ANY MEMBERS OF RIGHTS, CITY COUNCIL, WISH TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS OR ASK ANY QUESTIONS, KATIE, THANK YOU.
AARON GOING BACK TO THE SITE PLAN AND THE SHRUBBERY AROUND THE BACK.
WELL, HOW HIGH WILL THE SHRUBBERY GO? DO WE HAVE ANY DETAIL? I CAN'T SEE THE DETAIL FROM HERE.
SO THE, THE INTRO, UH, THE ENTRANCE BUSHES, UH, OR YEAH, THREE, THREE.
WHAT ABOUT IN THE BACK? CAUSE THERE'S RESIDENTS TO THE EAST AND TO THE NORTH.
SO THAT'S A MIXTURE OF, OF TALL.
UM, SO IT'S BY TREE DIAMETER HEIGHTS.
SO I BELIEVE IT WAS TWO AND A HALF, UH, CALIBER.
SO IT'S A MIXTURE OF EVERGREEN AND DECIDUOUS THAT, THAT HELPED BLOCK THAT, THAT SCREEN THAT FROM THE, UH, FROM THE NORTH.
SO IF THEY'RE PULLING AROUND THE BACK OF THE, I WAS HOPING TO AVOID THE LIGHTS GOING IN SOMEONE'S APARTMENT.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS, HOW TALL WOULD LIKE, OH, UM, SO I KNOW THE ROW, BUT LIKE I SAID, PLANTING, THEY'RE GOING TO BE MY HEIGHT SIX FEET OR SO.
IT'LL CERTAINLY SHIELD THE THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM CITY COUNCIL? RICHARD? JUST ONE, ONE PIECE.
I KNOW COUNCIL IN BAKER JUST ALLUDED TO IT, WHICH WAS THE HEADLIGHTS.
HOWEVER, I WANT TO GO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
UM, AARON, UH, IN YOUR VIEW, I'M JUST KIDDING.
I SAID, YOU, YOU SAID DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
W W W THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
AND VERY IMPORTANT ONE, BECAUSE THEY DO PUT OFF A LOT OF LIGHT.
UM, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE BUILDING ITSELF.
WHAT TYPE OF LIGHT POLLUTION? UM, YOU KNOW, W UH, CAUSE THEY'RE OUR NEIGHBORS, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, UM, AS COUNCILWOMAN BAKER HAD ALLUDED TO, UH, AND THE BUILDINGS SURROUNDING IT.
UM, SO COULD YOU KIND OF GIVE US A BRIEF IDEA ON SOME OF THE LIGHT POLLUTION THAT WOULD BE COMING OFF THERE? UM, CAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE OPERATING, YOU KNOW, IN THE DARK, CORRECT? YEAH.
SO ACTUALLY VERY LITTLE, UM, THEY DID SUBMIT PHOTOMETRIC PLANS, UH, AND AT THE, AT THE WEST SIDE.
UM, I BELIEVE THERE WAS A HALF A FOOT CANDLE SPILL OVER INTO THE STREET AREA.
UM, THERE WAS NO TRESPASS TO THE NORTH OR TO THE EAST.
UM, SO IT IS, UH, IT, IT FULLY COMPLIES WITH OUR CODE.
AND, UM, I, I, IT DOES LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE NOT SUBMITTED A COMPLETE SIGNED PACKAGE, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE IN A PLANT THERE'S GOING TO BE A SMALL SIGN, UM, THAT, UH, AT MOUNTAIN HOOD, UM, MOUNT HOOD IN TAYLORSVILLE.
YEAH, THERE WAS SO THE, UM, THE REQUIREMENTS WILL BE THAT THE COMPLIES TO THE 1179, THE, THE SIGN CODE.
MY ONLY QUESTION TO THAT WAS, IS I KNOW NOW THAT WE'RE EXPANDING, UM, POTENTIALLY EXPANDING THE USE, UM, THAT IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL BUSINESS TO GO IN THERE, WOULD THAT SIGN PACKAGING INCLUDE, UM, YOU KNOW, THOSE TYPES OF READOUTS OR IS IT JUST GOING TO BE ONE SIGN? UM, I, SO I, I WOULD, IT WOULD, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET, BUT I W IT WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO THINK THAT A, THAT SMALL GROUND MOUNTED SIGN WOULD HAVE ALL TWO OR THREE, UH, USES OR, UH, TENANTS SINCE THEY'RE 30 FEET OFF THE, OFF THE ROAD.
SO I TH THERE WILL BE SIGNS ABOVE EACH TENANT SPACE.
UM, BUT, UM, THE WAY THE SIGN CODE READS, I DON'T KNOW, BUT AS LONG AS IF WHEN TENDENCY CHANGES, THEY CAN, THEY CAN CHANGE OUT THE NAME AND THE FACE OF THE SIGN, BUT THE ACTUAL SIGN STRUCTURE, UM, WE'LL HAVE TO CONFORM TO, TO THE CODE.
AND THE QUESTIONS, AND YOU MAY CIRCLE BACK.
