I THINK WE HAVE A, UH, MS. CHRISTIE PATTERSON WILL GIVE US THAT PRESENTATION OR COMMENTS.
UM, I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU A BRIEF UPDATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE NORTH CARE PROJECT.
UM, AS YOU REMEMBER, NORTH CARE BOUGHT THEIR PROPERTY LOCATED AT KELLYANN 15TH, UM, OVER A YEAR AGO IN 2022.
UM, I WAS HERE SHORTLY AFTER THAT WITH, UM, A, UH, RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF TO AWARD CARES FUNDING THAT WE WERE AWARDED FROM OKLAHOMA COMMERCE IN THE AMOUNT OF $450,000.
BEFORE I COULD ENCUMBER THAT MONEY, I HAD TO GO THROUGH A DESKTOP ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND SEVERAL OTHER DOCUMENT REVIEWS BEFORE WE THEY WOULD EVEN GIVE THE OKAY TO MOVE FORWARD.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
BUT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A UPDATE OF WHERE THE PROJECT IS, UM, CAUSE I KNOW EVERYBODY'S ANTICIPATING IT GREATLY.
UM, NORTH KERRY HAS SELECTED TIMBERLAKE, UH, CONSTRUCTION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, UH, MANAGER.
THEY HAVE COMPLETED ANOTHER NORTH CARE FACILITY IN GUTHRIE.
AND SO IT MADE SENSE JUST TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEM FOR THIS PROJECT.
BID PACKAGES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED IN THE LATE, IN LATE 2022.
ADG IS THEIR ARCHITECT FOR THEIR DESIGN OF THE PROJECT AND BID PACKAGES, UM, WERE COMPLETED AND REVIEWED AT THE END OF LAST YEAR.
UM, THEY HAVE STARTED THE PERMIT PRO PROCESS WITH THE CITY OF EDMOND, AND THE BIDS HAVE GONE OUT TO THE TRADES AND ARE OPEN FOR ANOTHER 21 DAYS BEFORE THEY WILL BE AWARDED.
THE ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION DATE OR RE REHABILITATION OF THE BUILDING IS MARCH OF 2023.
UM, THEIR ESTIMATED COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION WILL BE DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR, UM, WITH ESTIMATED OPENING SOON AFTER THEY GET WITH THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
UM, BECAUSE OF NORTH CARE'S GRANT THAT THEY HAVE THAT, UM, TO, FOR OPERATIONS OF THE CENTER, THEY HAVE TO BE OPENED IN OPERATING BY THE END OF JANUARY.
SO THEY ARE LOOKING AND, UH, NEGOTIATING A TEMPORARY LOCATION HERE IN EDMOND TO GO AHEAD AND START, UM, THAT PROCESS AT THE END OF JANUARY.
UM, JUST A REMINDER, WE HAVE AWARDED ANO ANOTHER MORE OR $8 MILLION IN APER FUNDING TO HELP COMPLETE THAT PROJECT.
UM, THE INITIAL BIDS CAME BACK HIGHER THAN ANTICIPATED, ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT WE INITIALLY THOUGHT.
TOTAL CON TOTAL REHAB IS AROUND 1.5 MILLION.
[00:05:03]
UM, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM FROM NORTH CARE HERE TOO.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COUNSEL ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, AS WE ALL HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE, THAT THIS IS, UH, A NEED FOR OUR COMMUNITY, UH, LONG TIME COMING, BUT I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE STILL MOVING FORWARD WITH THE WHOLE PROCESS.
VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY.
WELL COUNSEL, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON OUR CON GENERAL CONSENT ITEMS FROM SIX A ONE THROUGH EIGHT? I WILL TAKE A MOTION THEN ON THOSE ITEMS. MOTION TO APPROVE.
NEXT, WE'RE UNDER SIX B APPROVAL PURCHASES.
[1. Consideration of Approval of Professional Services Agreement with Kerr 3 Architects to Design Upgrades to the Restroom and Concession Building Located at A.C. Caplinger Baseball Fields; ($31,300.00) and Staff Update on proposed update to A.C Caplinger Baseball Fields. (Ward 1)]
HAVE SEVERAL PRESENTATIONS HERE.UH, FIRST ONE IS A CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CUR THREE ARCHITECTS TO DESIGN UPGRADES TO THE RESTROOM AND CONCESSION BUILDING LOCATED AT ACTURE BASEBALL FIELDS FOR $31,300.
AND STAFF UPDATE ON A PROPOSED UPDATE TO THE AC CAPER BASEBALL FIELDS.
UM, SO I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE, UM, ITEM BEFORE YOU TO HIRE HER THREE ARCHITECTS TO DESIGN SOME IMPROVEMENTS AT, UH, AC CAPER BALL FIELDS, SPECIFICALLY TO THE RESTROOM IN CONCESSION BUILDING
UM, SO OF COURSE HERE, UH, AC CAPER, UM, BALLFIELD COMPLEX IN, UM, HAYFORD PARK.
HERE YOU SEE, UM, BRYANT AND KNIGHT STREET.
AND IT HE TO BE WHERE THE, UM, RED ICON IS SHOWN THERE IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN IS, UM, WHERE THE BUILDING IS LOCATED AT HERE.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE AN IMAGE OF THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THIS IS THE, UM, RESTROOM AND CONCESSION BUILDING.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
THIS IS THE, UH, RESTROOM IN SESSION BUILDING.
THE, UH, RESTROOMS HERE ON THE BACK PORTION OF THE BUILDING AND CONCESSION STANDS UP FRONT HERE.
UH, CONSTRUCTED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, ORIGINALLY AS AN OPEN AIR BUILDING.
SO THIS, UH, METAL THAT'S SHOWN UP ON THE TOP.
THIS WAS A ADDED, ADDED SOON AFTER CONSTRUCTION WAS STARTED TO ENCLOSES THE BUILDING.
UM, GOT SOME INTERIOR PHOTOGRAPHS HERE, WHAT IT CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE.
UM, NOT BAD, BUT WHEN YOU REALIZE, YOU KNOW, WE SEE SOME DAYLIGHT COMING THROUGH, SOME SUNLIGHT COMING THROUGH.
IT'S A VERY, STILL VERY OPEN BUILDING, BUT THERE'S ALSO NO INSULATION.
SO IT'S, WE'RE, UH, SEE THAT THE EFFECTS OF IT BEING ENCLOSED SOME AND NO VENTILATION, NO BREEZE, THAT SORT OF THING.
UM, JUST NOT A GOOD SITUATION.
I ALSO NOTICE SMALL THINGS LIKE SINKS ARE GREAT, BUT JUST THE WAY THE SOAPS ARE ARRANGED AND THE HAND DRYERS ARE ARRANGED, THINGS JUST DON'T FUNCTION.
IT DOESN'T PROVIDE THE GUEST EXPERIENCE THAT WE WOULD LIKE AT OUR COMPLEXES AT OUR FACILITIES.
UM, SO WHAT WE'VE ASKED, UH, CURRY TO DO AND WHAT'S PROPOSED FOR YOU THIS EVENING IS TO, UH, ONE OF THE LARGEST ITEMS TO INCREASE VENTILATION AND POTENTIALLY ADD AIR CONDITIONING TO THE, UH, RESTROOM CONCESSION STAND BUILDING.
SO ALL THE, UM, CEILING UP THE BUILDING AND, AND INSULATION THAT NEEDS TO GO ALONG WITH THAT TO DO IT PROPERLY.
ONE OF THE BIG THINGS ALSO ENCLOSES THE SEEDLING, UM, TO HELP CONTROL THAT ENVIRONMENT AND TO MINIMIZE OUR ENERGY INPUTS, UM, UPDATE OUR PLUMBING FIXTURES, UH, THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING.
UH, MAKE SOME OTHER JUST MODIFICATIONS TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL GUEST EXPERIENCE.
AND THEN TO REPAINT THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR METAL COMPONENTS THAT NEED REPAINTED.
SO THIS IS WHAT'S BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING, IS FOR US TO GO THROUGH THIS DESIGN PROJECT.
AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE, UH, WE NEED MANY IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS FACILITY.
WE KNOW THE BUILDING'S GONNA STAY THOUGH, REGARDLESS OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS DUE TO THE INVESTMENT, THE RELATIVELY YOUNG LIFE OF THE BUILDING, IT'S GONNA STAY THERE.
SO WHATEVER ELSE HAPPENS OUT THERE, WE'LL WORK AROUND IT.
UM, AND HERE'S KIND OF WHAT'S, WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON AT THIS COMPLEX.
WE ARE GOING THROUGH A, UM, FEASIBILITY STUDY, OR WE'RE FIXING TO START THAT.
THIS WILL BE TO YOU IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE TO, UH, AND IF THAT'S APPROVED, WE'LL PROCEED WITH THE FEASIBILITY STUDY.
WE'LL BE LOOKING AT HOW TO BEST MAXIMIZE THE USE OF THIS FACILITY AND HOW SHOULD IT BE SET UP AND PROGRAMMED.
UM, AND SO AT ONCE THAT'S COMPLETED, ONCE WE KNOW HOW MANY FIELDS WE NEED TO HAVE, WHAT TYPE OF FIELDS WE NEED TO HAVE, WE'LL GO THROUGH THE DESIGN PHASE OF THAT.
AND, UM, THEN HOPEFULLY LOOK FORWARD TO ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS OUT HERE IN THE FUTURE.
[00:10:01]
FOR NOW, WE WANNA GET STARTED WITH THIS WITH YOUR APPROVAL.ANY QUESTIONS FOR BRIAN? SO WHAT'S THE, I MEAN, THIS IS TO DO THE DESIGN WORK, SO WHAT'S OUR ANTICIPATED COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT? WELL, IF DESIGN WORK, IF WE ALLOW THREE TO FIVE MONTHS FOR DESIGN WORK, UM, AND ANOTHER MONTH OR SO FOR BIDDING AND AWARDING THAT, AND WE DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE FOR CONSTRUCTION YET, IT'LL DEPEND ON HOW EXTENSIVE, UH, THOSE UTILITY UPGRADES GET TO BE THE, TO PROVIDE THE AIR CONDITIONING, THAT SORT OF THING.
SO WE'LL GET YOU AN UPDATED TIMELINE AS SOON AS WE KNOW SOME OF THAT PRELIMINARY INFORMATION, BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW FOR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION.
AND OUR, OUR VENDOR, OUR CURRENT VENDOR IS GONNA BE INVOLVED IN THIS DESIGN PRO PROCESS, I ASSUME? YES.
OUR, OUR SPORTS PARTNER, RIGHT? OUR SPORTS PARTNER AB YES.
WILL BE INVOLVED AS A STAKEHOLDER.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNSEL? THANK YOU.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THAT ONE RIGHT NOW, AND, UH, TAKE A MOTION FOR ITEM SIX.
[2. Approval of contract with the Edmond Fine Arts Institute for funding for VIBES for 2023 in the amount of $27,000.00. (Ward 1)]
NEXT IS APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH THE BB AND FINE ARTS INSTITUTE FOR FUNDING FOR VIBES FOR 2023 IN THE AMOUNT OF $27,000.I'M NOT DOING THE PRESENTATION.
UM, MARION COUNCIL, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE, UH, SAVANNAH WHITEHEAD FROM THE FINE ARTS INSTITUTE.
UH, SHE'S HER PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND SHE'S GONNA VISIT WITH YOU ALL ABOUT VIBES TONIGHT.
AND THANKS, COUNSEL FOR HAVING US THIS EVENING.
UM, LIKE CASEY SAID, I AM SAVANNAH WHITEHEAD, UH, THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT ED FINE ARTS INSTITUTE.
UM, I THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE, THERE WE GO.
UM, THANK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING IT WITH ME.
NO, WE JUST WANTED TO SHOW THAT IN CASE, UM, ANYONE IN HERE HAD NEVER ATTENDED VIBES AND TO KINDA JUST SHOW YOU WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
UM, BUT KIND OF BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
SO, EDMUND FINE ARTS HAS BEEN SERVING THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1985 AND PROVIDING ACCESS TO VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS OPPORTUNITIES TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND, UM, WHEN BUSINESS OWNERS AND CITY LEADERS GOT TOGETHER AND WERE BRAINSTORMING ABOUT AN ART WALK STYLE EVENT FOR DOWNTOWN EDMOND, UM, WE KNEW THAT IT WAS RIGHT IN LINE WITH OUR MISSION OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO CREATIVITY, UM, AND TO THE ARTS, TO OUR COMMUNITY.
UM, AND SO PASSION IS WHAT WE RUN ON.
AND SO WE JUMPED AT THE OPPORTUNITY, UM, TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT, AND WE HAVE LOVED DOING IT SINCE THEN.
UM, SO IN 2020 VIBES WAS DEVELOPED AND CARRIED OUT, UM, THE FIRST SE SEVEN MONTH SEASON IN 2021.
AND NOW WE'VE COMPLETED OUR SECOND SEASON OF FIRST THURSDAY EVENTS APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER.
AND I'M EXCITED TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE IMPACTS AND GOOD VIBES THIS PAST SEASON BROUGHT TO OUR COMMUNITY.
SO IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT MAYBE SECOND SLIDE, UM, EDMOND FINE ARTS IS BIG FANS OF THE IDEA THAT NUMBERS TELL ALL, AND IN THE CASE OF VIBES, THAT COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE FOR JUST A SECOND SEASON EVENT SERIES PARTICIPATION ECONOMIC NUMBERS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY AND ALMOST DOUBLED IN MANY INSTANCES.
YOU CAN SEE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE STATISTICS UP ON THE SCREEN, BUT ALLOW ME TO SHARE A FEW MORE IN DEPTH AS WELL.
SO FOR VISUAL ARTISTS IN 2022, WE HAD 85 VISUAL ARTISTS APPLY TO PARTICIPATE IN 74 OF THOSE WERE ACCEPTED AND DID PARTICIPATE EACH MONTH, AVERAGE MORE THAN 45 VISUAL ARTISTS AT VIBES, THEY WERE PARTNERED WITH VISUAL WITH THE DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND SET UP THROUGHOUT THE 15 BLOCKS OF DOWNTOWN.
THAT VIBES ENCOMPASSES BASED ON SURVEY RESPONSES FROM THESE ARTISTS.
IT'S ESTIMATED THAT THEY AVERAGED $350 IN SALES.
EACH VIBE THEY PARTICIPATED IN THAT AMOUNT IS UP FROM JUST JUST $200 IN 2021.
AND IN TOTAL VIBES, VISUAL ARTISTS EARNED MORE THAN $93,000 IN SALES OVER THE SEVEN MONTHS.
AS ALWAYS, ARTISTS KEEP 100% OF THEIR SALES AND
[00:15:01]
UNIQUE TO VIBES.WE DO NOT COLLECT ANY COMMISSION FROM THOSE ARTISTS FOR PERFORMING ARTISTS.
WE HAD 43 APPLY AND 40 WERE ACCEPTED AND DID PARTICIPATE IN EACH MONTH AVERAGE 13 PERFORMING ARTISTS THAT WERE PARTICIPATING EITHER OUTDOORS, UM, OR IN DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AS WELL.
IN TOTAL, ALMOST $28,000 WAS PAID TO PERFORMING ARTISTS DURING THE VIBE SEASON.
IN OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES THAT PARTICIPATED.
THERE WERE 46 TOTAL THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
AND THEY SAY THAT HAVING VIBES EVENTS EACH MONTH OF THOSE SEVEN MONTHS IS LIKE ADDING A ADDITIONAL THIRD ADDITIONAL SATURDAY TO THEIR MONTH, UM, BASICALLY ADDING A FIFTH SATURDAY, WHICH EXPONENTIALLY INCREASES THEIR SALES.
UM, THEY SAID THINGS LIKE VIBES IS WHAT MAKES OUR BUSINESS AND WE LOVE THIS EVENT.
AND THE GOAL OF VIBES USING ITS PLACEMAKING STRATEGY, POSITIONING, VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTISTS AND SPECIAL FEATURES THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN EDMOND, UM, DID HELP DRIVE ADDITIONAL AND NEW TRAFFIC TO OUR ALREADY EXISTING BUSINESSES, WHICH YOU GUYS KNOW WE DON'T BRING IN ADDITIONAL, UM, OUTSIDE VENDORS OR FOOD TRUCKS.
THAT WAY WE ENSURE THAT EVERY DOLLAR IS SPENT AT ONE OF OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES.
IN TOTAL VIBES GENERATED OVER $78,000 EACH MONTH FOR OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES IN THE EVENT SEASON, HAD AN ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MORE THAN HALF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND.
UM, THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, WE GATHERED INFORMATION ABOUT THE ATTENDEES COMING TO VIBES AND LEARNED SOME AWESOME ENCOURAGING FACTS.
THE AVERAGE VIBES A ATTENDEE WAS 28 TO 40 YEARS OLD YOUNG PROFESSIONALS AND TYPICALLY ATTENDED WITH THEIR FAMILIES.
NO SURPRISE, THE MAJORITY OF ATTENDEES LEARNED ABOUT VIBES ORGANICALLY THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA OR THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH.
AND THE MAJORITY OF ATTENDEES CAME TO VICE MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE SEASON AND STATED MAYBE THAT THEY ONLY MISSED ONE OR TWO DUE TO TRAVELING OR WEATHER.
IT'S ALSO LEARNED THAT VIBES IS FULFILLING ITS PURPOSE OF DRIVING NEW AND ADDITIONAL PATRONS TO OUR DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES.
WHEN ASKED IF THE ATTENDEES DISCOVERED SOMETHING NEW THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW IS IN DOWNTOWN PRIOR TO VIBES, THEY NAMED BUSINESSES LIKE BROADWAY, ANTIQUES FRENZY, WOODWARD PIZZA, THE MULE, THE EDMUND RAIL YARD, AND BISON CREEK.
WE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS FROM VIBES ATTENDEES.
I LOVE THE UPLIFTING SPIRIT THAT VIBES BRINGS TO MY HOMETOWN.
THE GOOD VIBES WERE ABUNDANT AND KEEP THE VIBES GOING IN 2023.
IN CONCLUSION, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CITY OF EDMUND FOR THE FUNDS THAT HAS GRANTED US TO CONTINUE THIS EVENT AND THE SPONSORSHIPS PROVIDED BY LOCAL BUSINESSES.
EDMUND FIND OURS IS EXCITED TO CONTINUE TO BRING THE GOOD VIBES TO DOWNTOWN EDMOND IN 2023.
AND WE SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE COMMUNITY'S COMMITMENT TO VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS.
AND WE ARE ALREADY HARD AT WORK PLANNING FOR THE 2023 SEASON.
I'M SURE YOU GUYS BELIEVE THAT.
UM, IT STARTED AS SOON AS WE FINISHED THE LAST ONE, AND WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US ON THURSDAY, APRIL THE SIXTH, 2023 TO KICK OFF THE THIRD SEASON OF VIBES.
WELL SAID
AND SO YOU EVEN DID A CHRISTMAS, UH, OR A WINTER VIBES OR SOMETHING THAT WAS JUST TERRIFIC.
SO, UM, YOU ALL HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THIS.
THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS CAME BEFORE US TO SPEND WITH OUR CONTINGENCY FUNDS, I ASKED MY COLLEAGUES, I SAID, JUST GIVE US ONE TIME AND LET US PROVE THAT THIS THING WORKS.
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST MEETING WHEN, UH, THOSE, THE BUSINESS PEOPLE AND THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ALL MET TOGETHER TO PLAN THIS THING.
UM, WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE'D PULL IT OFF.
WELL, WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO PULL IT OFF.
AND IS THAT JUST TO GET YOU AND SHANNON INVOLVED AND, AND THE FINE ARTS INSTITUTE? AND YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB.
UM, SO YOU GUYS TRUSTED ME BEFORE AND, UH, WE DID THAT.
AND, UH, COMING TO YOU TO ASK US, UH, I THINK I ACTUALLY TOLD YOU, IF YOU'LL GIVE ME THIS ONCE, WE WON'T COME BACK AGAIN.
WE'LL FIND ANOTHER WAY TO FUND IT.
BUT, UH, WE HAVE NOT FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO FUND IT YET.
WE'RE GOING TO, UH, FIND ANOTHER WAY TO FUND IT, BUT WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE HELP TO CONTINUE THIS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT, UH, FOR OUR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT.
UM, SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT I KNOW A FEW DEVELOPERS, AND, UH, IF THAT'S TRUE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM THAT WE CONTINUE TO DO TO CONTINUE THEM MOMENTUM IN DOWNTOWN EVAN.
SO I'D APPRECIATE YOU GUYS, UH, CONSIDERING THIS AND CONTINUING TO FUND THIS, AND THANK YOU ALL FOR AT THE FINANCES WHO ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AT IT.
I'LL ADD TO THAT I SUPPORT WHAT YOU SAID.
UM, SITTING AT THE VISIT EDMOND COMMITTEE, WE, WE PUT OURSELVES IN THE SHOES OF A VISITOR OR A FAMILY MEMBER THAT'S IN FROM OUT OF TOWN.
AND WHAT IF YOU WERE LOOKING AT A COMMUNITY CALENDAR AND LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO? AND THESE ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT YOU EXPECT IN A VIBRANT COMMUNITY LIKE OURS.
AND IF YOU'RE IN FROM OUT OF TOWN AND YOU GET TO GO TO DOWNTOWN EDMOND AND EAT AND SHOP AND LISTEN TO LIVE MUSIC.
AND SO, UH, WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD AT VISIT EDMOND TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO OFFER.
I DID NOTE THAT THE AMOUNT, THE ASK THE AMOUNT FROM OUR CONTINGENCY IS
[00:20:01]
ALMOST HALF OF WHAT IT WAS LAST YEAR THOUGH.SO THERE IS STILL AN ASK, BUT IT IS LESS THAN MM-HMM.
HOW, UH, THIS IS JUST MORE CURIOUS TO MY OWN, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE COVERED IT FROM ARTISTS IN THE METRO AREA.
WHAT, I KNOW YOU HAVE TO, UH, NARROW DOWN THE AMOUNT OF REQUESTS THAT YOU GET TO COME, BUT WHAT KIND OF, WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE DO YOU GET FROM ARTISTS THAT WANT TO BE HERE? SO, LAST YEAR WE HAD 85 APPLY.
UM, MULTIPLE OF THEM AT THE END OF THE SEASON TOLD ME IT WAS THE BEST MARKET OR OUR EVENT THAT THEY PARTICIPATED IN ALL YEAR, AND THAT THEY WOULD DO THAT, SAY THAT ON VIDEO IF I NEEDED THEM TO
UM, BUT I EXPECT THAT RESPONSE TO BE EQUAL OR EVEN HIGHER THIS YEAR.
AND JOSH, OUR, THEIR VIEWPOINT AND OUR VIEWPOINT HAS BEEN THAT GONNA COMPENSATE ARTISTS SO MANY TIMES.
SO MANY TIMES THESE ARTISTS HAVE TO PUT A BUCKET OUT THERE, AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING THEY TAKE AWAY AT THE END OF THE DAY.
WELL, YEAH, WE'RE GONNA COMPENSATE THEM FOR HELPING US BUILD OUR COMMUNITY IN ECONOMIC GROWTH.
AND I THINK THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S KIND OF BEHIND THIS FUNDING AND RIGHT.
AND I KIND OF, WHAT I WAS KIND OF GETTING AT IS, IS THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE ASKING FOR APPLICATIONS FROM AND BACKGROUNDS AND, AND PORTFOLIOS, AND THEY'RE, THEY'RE PROFESSIONALS AND, AND THEY GET PAID FOR WHAT THEY DO.
SO YOU DIDN'T MENTION THE AWARDS YOU ALL RECEIVED IN 2021.
WOULD YOU LIKE MENTION, TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE? SURE.
IS EVERYONE, UM, THE URBAN LAND INSTITUTE'S OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY BUILDING INITIATIVE AWARD FOR 2021.
ANY, THE OTHER COUNCIL COMMENTS FROM THE COUNCIL? WHAT COUNCIL, LET'S TAKE THIS ONE INDIVIDUALLY TOO.
WHAT VOTE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT SEASON, AND WE HEAR THE WEATHER'S GONNA BE BETTER, SO WE'VE ALREADY HEARD THAT EVERY TIME.
[3. Approval of Agreement with Healthy Minds Policy Initiative for Phase 3 of the Mental Health System Assessment for the City of Edmond; $175,000. (ARPA funds) (Citywide)]
NEXT ITEM IS APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT WITH THE HEALTHY MINDS POLICY IN INITIATIVE FOR PHASE THREE OF THE MENTAL HEALTH SY SYSTEM ASSESSMENT FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND FOR 175,000.UH, WE ACTUALLY WILL BE USING ARPA FUNDS FOR THIS EVENT.
CHRISTIE, YOU'RE GONNA GIVE US SOME APPRECIATION.
I'M CHRISTIE PATTERSON, THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND.
ON BEHALF OF CHIEF YOUNGER AND I, WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH HEALTHY MINDS TO HELP US, UM, IMPLEMENT OUR PLAN.
THAT WAS BEFORE YOU BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR, UM, INCLUDING THE COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER GROUP, WE FELT THAT WE NEEDED TO TAKE, TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN IMPLEMENTING AND, UM, GOING INTO ACTION WITH, UM, THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND EDMUNDS.
SO I'M NOT GONNA STILL JESSICA HAWKINS, UH, FENDER HERE.
SHE HAS A PRESENTATION TO GIVE YOU, UM, ON THE PHASE THREE OF OUR PROPOSAL.
THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR ALLOWING US TO COME BACK AND CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH IN EDMOND.
JUST FORWARD FOR NOT OKAY, VERY GOOD.
SO, AS A BRIEF REMINDER, I'M JESSICA HAWKINS.
I'M A RESIDENT OF EDMOND, AND EXCITED TO BE HERE AND, UM, BE PART OF THIS COLLABORATIVE WAS PART OF HELPING DEVELOP THE REPORT AS A RESIDENT AND FORMALLY AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES.
AND I'M DELIGHTED TO BE HERE NOW TO SEE THIS MOVE FORWARD IN OUR COMMUNITY.
BUT I CURRENTLY WORK WITH HEALTHY MINDS.
UM, WE ARE A NONPROFIT PARTNER, THINK TANK AROUND MENTAL HEALTH IN OKLAHOMA, AND HAVE FOCUSED, UM, ALMOST ENTIRELY ON PRODUCING ORIGINAL PIECES OF RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS, POLICY, AND OTHER WORKS, SUPPORTING BIG SYSTEMS LIKE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COMMUNITIES IN IMPLEMENTING BEST PRACTICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH.
SO, JUST AS A REMINDER, WE'VE COMPLETED TWO PHASES OF WORK HERE IN EDMOND.
UM, FIRST WAS PHASE ONE, A MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM ASSESSMENT, UM, GUIDED BY THE EDMONDS COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH WORK GROUP, AND OVER 50 STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE COMMUNITY, FROM SCHOOLS, FROM FAITH, FROM PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE, FAMILY MEMBERS, UM, MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND HOSPITAL SYSTEMS THAT COULD GO ON AND ON OF PARTNERS THAT HELPED THE COMMUNITY IN THIS PHASE REALLY ASSESS, UH, THE STATUS OF MENTAL HEALTH IN EDMOND AND WHAT IS NEEDED GOING FORWARD.
HEALTHY MINDS CONDUCTED FOCUS GROUPS, STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS, AND COMPLETED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DATA ANALYSIS, UH, TO GET TO SOME KEY FINDINGS IN THIS REPORT.
UM, PHASE TWO, WE WORKED WITH MANY STAKEHOLDERS TO THEN, UM, FINALIZE A REPORT FOR YOU, UH, WHICH
[00:25:01]
YOU ALL HAD A PRESENTATION ON.INCLUDED ABOUT 27 ACTION ITEMS PRESENTED IN SEPTEMBER.
SO, UM, THE ASSESSMENT OF KEY FINDINGS, WE HAD, UM, THREE MAIN OVERARCHING FINDINGS.
AS, AS YOU HEARD, THERE WERE DOZENS OF VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ACT UPON, BUT OVERALL, WE FOUND THAT IN EDMOND ACCESS TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, UM, DOES STILL HAVE MULTIPLE BARRIERS, ESPECIALLY FOR CERTAIN POPULATIONS SUCH AS YOUNG PEOPLE, CHILDREN, AND THEIR FAMILIES.
UH, SOME OF THESE BARRIERS INCLUDE A LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF A FULL ARRAY OF, UM, LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, WHICH, UM, WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO NOW HAVE NORTH CARE AS AN INTIMATE PARTNER IN EDMOND, PROVIDING A LARGE ARRAY OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND ARE VERY EXCITED AS PART OF THIS NEXT PHASE TO SUPPORT NORTH CARE IN BUILDING OUT THAT CONTINUUM OF SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY.
ANOTHER KEY FINDING, UH, WAS SPECIFIC TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS IN EDMOND WHO ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO BARRIERS TO ACCESS AND ALSO STIGMA.
UM, A MAJOR THEME THROUGHOUT THE REPORT WAS THE NEED TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AND EDUCATE, UH, DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW THEY CAN SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND SUPPORT THIS PLAN GOING FORWARD.
UM, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT, WE WON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME HERE, BUT AS A REMINDER, AND THE REPORT IS PART OF THE DATA ANALYSIS.
UM, WE ACTUALLY SAW THAT IN ANY GIVEN YEAR, IT'S ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN 10,000 ADULTS IN EDMOND ARE LIVING WITH A SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS AND OR A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER.
AND WHEN WE SPEAK ABOUT CHILDREN, AND WE KNOW ABOUT 10% OF CHILDREN IN EDMOND HAVE SERIOUS EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE.
UM, AND IN THIS CASE, THESE ARE OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OUR FAMILIES, AND OUR AND OUR FRIENDS WHO ARE SUFFERING WITH SOME OF THE MOST COMPLEX, UH, MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AND THEREFORE NEED ACCESS TO A LARGE ARRAY OF SERVICES.
SO SOME OF THE KEY RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE REPORT WAS TO EDUCATE THE BROADER COMMUNITY ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND TO ENGAGE THEM IN SUPPORTING IMPLEMENTATION.
WE WANNA HELP REALLY SUPPORT THE SUCCESSFUL C C B H C MODEL THAT NORTH CARE IS BRINGING TO EDMOND.
IT'S A FANTASTIC ASSET AS A RESULT OF A LOT OF WORK, UH, WRITING GRANTS, TRYING TO GET FUNDING INTO THE COMMUNITY AND NORTH CARE AND THE CITY'S LEADERSHIP TO BRING THIS SERVICE TO EDMOND.
UH, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UH, THIS IS IMPLEMENTED WELL AND THAT THE SYSTEMS WORKED AS THEY'RE DESIGNED FOR THE COMMUNITY.
ALSO, COMMUNITY CRISIS COORDINATION.
EDMUND HAS WONDERFUL RESOURCES, UH, WHEN IT COMES TO RESPONDING TO MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
UM, IN MANY COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING EDMUND, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT ALL OF THOSE SERVICES ARE WELL COORDINATED, THAT ALL THE RIGHT AGREEMENTS ARE IN PLACE, AND THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS GET WHAT THEY NEED, UM, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
UM, EXPAND THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL PROVIDERS FOR PREVENTION AND INCREASE STUDENT ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN SCHOOLS HERE IN EDMOND.
SO FOR OUR PHASE THREE, WHAT WE'LL DO IS QUICKLY WORK, WORK TOWARDS GETTING A TEAMING STRUCTURE IN PLACE, SOME SORT OF GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE KEY FINDINGS IN THE PLAN ARE ACTIVATED AND ALL THE RIGHT PARTNERS ARE AROUND THE TABLE.
UM, NUMBER TWO, WE'LL ALSO BE PRIORITIZING ALL OF THOSE ACTION ITEMS THAT WERE IN THE PLAN.
UM, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE START WITH OUR MOST READY PIECES OF THE PLAN, WHICH INCLUDE MAKING SURE THAT YOUR NEW, UH, CCBHC SYSTEM GETS UP AND GOING WELL, AND YOUR CRISIS SERVICES BEGIN TO ROLL WELL WITH NORTH CARE.
ALSO, A RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PLAN WILL BE IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EDMOND IN THE LONG TERM CAN SUSTAIN THESE SERVICES AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FUNDING FROM FEDERAL GRANTS AND STATE AND LOCAL SOURCES TO MAKE SURE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM STAYS A LEADER IN THIS STATE.
UM, HEALTHY MINDS ALSO WITH PHASE THREE WILL HELP SUPPORT EDMOND IN EVALUATING AND REPORTING BACK, UH, TO THE CITY AND TO THE COMMUNITY ABOUT PROGRESS THAT'S MADE WITH IMPLEMENTING YOUR PLAN.
AND ALSO YOU'LL HAVE ACCESS TO AN ARRAY OF SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS AND MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH HEALTHY MINDS, UM, AND THROUGH THE STATE AND OTHERS IN CONSULTING WITH YOUR GROUP TO MAKE SURE THE PLAN IS IMPLEMENTED WELL.
SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND I'D BE GLAD TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY COUNSEL, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.
I I JUST WANTED TO, UM, MENTION THAT THIS, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE USE ARPA PHONES.
IF YOU REMEMBER, UM, WE, YOU DESIGNATED ARPA FUNDS FOR THE FIRST PHASE AND SECOND PHASE.
SO WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE THAT MOMENTUM MM-HMM.
I REMEMBER WE'VE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS AND HAS OUR, OUR NEXT STEP FORGE.
AND THIS IS JUST, THIS WILL HELP THE COMMUNITY AFTER WE GET ESTABLISHED.
FIND THE DOOR, FIND THE RIGHT DOOR TO KNOCK ON.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FOUND OUT IN OUR MENTAL BEHAVIOR HEALTH AS A COMMUNITY.
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT DOOR TO KNOCK ON, WHO,
[00:30:01]
WHO CAN PROVIDE US THAT HELP.AND THIS IS ANOTHER STEP IN FINDING THAT OUT.
OKAY, COUNSEL, LET'S TAKE THIS ONE INDIVIDUALLY TOO.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HANDLE IT? MOVE TO APPROVE.

UM, THEY'RE, UH, THEY HAD DID HAVE A, THAT WAS A FIRE SPRINKLER BREAK ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
UM, SO WE'RE WAITING, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S WAITING ON THEM TO CALL US FOR AN INSPECTION WHEN THEY'RE READY.
UH, BUT WE'RE WAITING ON THAT.
UH, WE, WE HAD A MEETING WITH THEM BACK BEFORE ABOUT THE 6TH OF DECEMBER, I BELIEVE, WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVES AND WENT OVER THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT WERE STILL LACKING ON A FACILITY.
I BELIEVE THEIR GOAL IS TO OPEN UP THE FIRST FLOOR, UH, AS SOON AS THEY CAN, AS SOON AS THEY GET THE REMODELING DONE, AND RECEIVE ALL THE NECESSARY PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO OPEN UP FOR A, UH, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UM, UH, UNITS THERE ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
SO, UH, THEY'RE CONTINUING TO MAKE GOOD PROGRESS.
UH, WE'VE VISITED WITH 'EM AGAIN TODAY.
UH, AND SO, UH, THEY'RE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THEY WILL NEED, UM, ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS FROM THE BUILDING, UH, AS IT RELATES TO THE, UH, LICENSED TRADES AS IT RELATES TO THEIR HOT WATER TANKS, UH, H V A C UNITS.
AND, UH, SO THEY'RE, THEY'VE BEEN AWARE OF THAT.
AND, UH, SO THE PROPERTY IS NO LONGER A NUISANCE FROM THE STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE.
UM, AND ALL THE LIFE SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED TO THE EXTENT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY IS NOW VACANT.
UH, BEFORE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO, UH, OCCUPY THE STRUCTURE, UH, ON THE FIRST FLOOR FOR, UH, HOUSING UNITS.
THEY WILL NEED TO, UH, COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE PERMITS AND MAKE SURE OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT
[00:35:01]
AND FIRE DEPARTMENT, CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT, UH, HAS PERFORMED ALL THE NECESSARY INSPECTIONS FOR THE, THE COOKING UNITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT'LL BE IN THESE INDIVIDUAL UNITS.SO, UH, WE HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA CONTINUE TO COOPERATE WITH US AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR MANY MONTHS NOW.
SO STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE IS, IS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITE.
UH, IT'S NO LONGER A NUISANCE.
UH, THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO OCCUPY THE INDIVIDUAL, UH, UNITS UNTIL THEY RECEIVE ALL THE NECESSARY INSPECTIONS AND PERMITS.
AND THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVES INDICATED THAT THEY WILL CERTAINLY COMPLY WITH THAT.
SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT, AND I BELIEVE MR. MCKINNIS MAY HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS HE MUST MAKE ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER.
UH, THANK YOU TODD MCKENNA, UH, HERE FOR THE OWNER.
UH, MR. MURDOCH AND I TALK TODAY, UH, AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO ADDRESS REALLY THE ISSUES OF TYPICAL BUILDING PERMIT ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO INSPECTIONS SO THAT WE CAN GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE OF USE.
IT NO LONGER HAS ANY LIFE HEALTH SAFETY ISSUES THAT GOT US TO THIS POINT A YEAR AGO.
AND SO IT'S OUR REQUEST THAT WE REMOVE IT FROM A CITY COUNCIL ITEM AS A NUISANCE AND ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS WITH THE CITY OF EDMOND AND MOVE TO OCCUPANCY HERE IN THE COMING WEEKS OR MONTH OR WHENEVER THAT IS ALLOWED.
I THINK OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC, AS WELL AS THE OTHER, UH, DIVISIONS OF THE CITY OF EDMOND.
WE'RE WORKING WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT NOW ON A COUPLE ITEMS RELATED TO, AS STEVE SAID, SOME HOT WATER TANKS THAT WERE INSTALLED AND HAVING THE APPROPRIATE PERMITTING AND TAGS FOR THAT, AS WELL AS SOME H V A C STUFF.
SO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GETTING SUPPORT FROM, FROM THE CITY AND ABLE TO KEEP MOVING? UH, ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK, UH, MR. MURDOCH AND I, AS YOU KNOW, HAVE A REALLY GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND SO, UH, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE INVOLVED IN DIALOGUE, SO SOMETIMES THERE'S SOME INEFFICIENCIES, BUT THAT'S AS MUCH ON OUR SIDE AS IT IS ON ANY OTHER SIDE.
SO, UH, THERE WAS SOME CONCERN, I THINK, A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND ALL CANDOR ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THE CITY WANTED THIS.
UH, AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT FAIR TO SAY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, BUT THAT'S NOT BEEN SHOWN TO BE THE TRUTH WITH THE WAY THE CITY STAFF HAS RESPONDED AND WORKED WITH US.
UM, IVAN SMITH, THE WHOLE TEAM WORKED, I THINK BEEN OVER BACKWARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNEW THAT THEY WEREN'T TRYING TO BE AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE OPERATION OF THIS FACILITY.
AND I THINK THAT NARRATIVE, WHEREVER IT CAME FROM, WAS JUST SIMPLY MISPLACED.
I THINK I WANNA SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT FROM MY SEAT ANYWAY, THAT IT'S, IT'S WANTED AND NEEDED.
AND SO THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP THE QUESTION OF, UM, I I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU'RE, YOU'RE GETTING HELP AND SUPPORT JUST IF, IF WE NEED TO KNOW OTHERWISE, PLEASE, PLEASE LET US KNOW.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? UNLESS THERE'S OTHER DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH JUST CONTINUING WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND WILL NOT BRING EITHER REGULAR UPDATES WITH REGARDING A NUISANCE.
CUZ AT THIS TIME, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS IT'S NO LONGER A NUISANCE.
DOES THAT REQUIRE A MOVE BUDGET? AUTHORIZE THE STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND AUTHORIZE US NOT TO BRING IT BACK ON A RECORD BASIS REGARDING NUISANCE.
SECOND, PLEASE JUDGE YOUR VOTE.
AND THANK YOU, TODD, FOR WORKING WITH THIS, FOR THIS ENTIRE PROCESS.

NOW WE'RE IN ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, UH, CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AND RESOLUTION STORY TIME PUBLIC HEARING IN CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 39 32, 39 32.AMENDING TITLE 22 OF THE EDMOND MUNICIPAL CODE ZONING ORDINANCE BY MODIFYING SECTION 22 4 23 B C B D, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.

USES.AND BY AMENDING SECTION 22.9 0.2, DEFINE TERMS TO ADD BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND PROVIDING FOUR REPEAL INSEPARABILITY.
SO ABOUT THAT
SO YOU WANNA EXPLAIN THAT QUICK? PROBABLY QUICKER THAN YOU HAD TO READ THROUGH ALL THAT.
I'M RANDY ENSON, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING.
I'M HERE TONIGHT TO EXPLAIN WHILE ALL THAT JUST MEANT AND REALLY WHAT THEY ARE, ARE, UH, CHANGES, UH, AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 22, SPECIFICALLY THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ZONING DISTRICTS.
UH, SO WHERE THIS COMES FROM IS THE CENTRAL EDMOND URBAN DISTRICT BOARD HAS OVERSIGHT OF THE AREA SHOWN IN RED RIGHT HERE, KIND OF SHOWN IN RED.
IT BASICALLY RUNS FROM DANFORTH TONIGHT, THREATS TO, UH, UNIVERSITY.
UH, THEY HAVE A LIST OF IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS THAT THEY'RE SOLELY WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH.
ONE OF THOSE WAS TO, UH, DO SOME CODE CLEANUP AND TO ALLOW CERTAIN THINGS.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT.
AND THE WHOLE POINT OF THOSE IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS ARE TO, UM, FULFILL THE VISION THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND MAKING DOWNTOWN A WALKABLE, VIBRANT URBAN AREA.
BASICALLY, UH, THE SPECIFIC CHANGES RELATE TO THE AREA SHOWN IN PURPLE HERE.
THE LIGHTER PURPLE ON THE LEFT IS THE CBD AREA, AND THAT'S THE AREA AROUND THE, THE HISTORIC CORE OF DOWNTOWN.
AND THEN THE DARKER PURPLE IS THE, UH, DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT.
UH, CBD IS INTENDED TO BE THAT KIND OF MIXED USE, HIGH INTENSITY, UH, URBAN AREA.
UH, THE WAY I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY IT IS THE D R D WAS MEANT TO BE A TRANSITION AWAY FROM THAT, UH, REALIZING THAT IT'S NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE SURROUNDING, UH, THAT ARE URBAN CORE, AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN ADDED LAYER OF PROTECTION FOR THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS SO THAT, UM, THAT HERITAGE AND VALUE AS A NEIGHBORHOOD IS, IS CAN, IS STILL HELD.
UH, THE WAY THE ORDINANCES ARE CURRENTLY WRITTEN.
THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN D R D AND CBD.
THERE'S A FRONT YARD SETBACK AS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN REQUIREMENTS.
SO THE INTENT OF THE SUGGESTED CHANGES IS ONE, LIKE I SAID, TO HELP FULFILL THE VISION OF THE DISTRICT PROMOTING A WALKABLE AND VIBRANT DISTRICT, AND TO MAKE D R D MORE OF A TRANSITION FROM THE INTENSE CBD TO THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
AND THEN LASTLY, TO MODERNIZE SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT, UH, AND CONTINUE TO FACILITATE THE GROWTH OF THE DISTRICT.
SO CHANGE ONE INCLUDES, UH, ADDING THE BOUTIQUE HOTEL AS AN ALLOWED USE IN C B D.
UH, CURRENTLY ONLY, UM, BED AND BREAKFAST ARE ALLOWED AS, AS HOSPITALITY IN THAT WHICH ARE LIMITED TO 10 ROOMS. UH, SO IN AN, IN AN AREA THAT'S ATTRACTING MORE AND MORE VISITORS, UH, WE'D LIKE TO LET 'EM STAY AND LINGER A LITTLE WHILE AND SPEND MORE MONEY HERE.
UH, SO WE THOUGHT ADDING, UH, THE ADDITION OF A BOUTIQUE HOTEL AS AN ALLOWED USE IN THE CBD WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO THAT.
UH, IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE HAD TO ADD A DEFINITION OF WHAT A BOUTIQUE HOTEL IS INTO OUR ORDINANCE, WHICH IS WHAT IS SHOWN IN GREEN THEN.
SO TYPICALLY THIS IS THE, AN INDUSTRY STANDARD, SLIGHTLY MODIFIED FOR OUR USE.
UH, BUT IT'S HOTELS WITH LESS THAN A HUNDRED ROOMS, UH, UNIQUE IN CHARACTER AND ARCHITECTURE WITH HIGH DESIGN THAT AUGMENTS THE SURROUNDING DISTRICT.
SO BRANDY, SHIRLEY, YOU HAVE TO BE SEEING THAT IF IT'S BEEN EXCLUDED IN OTHER TOWNS AND CITIES WITH DOWNTOWNS, THAT HAS TO KIND OF BE A TREND COMING IN, RIGHT? WHAT'S THAT TOO, NOT ADDING MM-HMM.
ADDING THIS LANGUAGE FOR SURE.
SO THE CURRENT LANGUAGE ALLOWS 'EM BY RIGHT.
IN BOTH DISTRICTS, UH, WHAT THIS DOES IS INCREASES THE CURB, CUTS ACROSS SIDEWALKS, UH, FOR THE DRIVE SERVING THOSE, AND IT'S REALLY AN AUTO CENTRIC USE THAT WE'RE NOW TRYING TO KIND OF SHOEHORN INTO OUR PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY AREA.
UH, WE'VE RECENTLY HAD A COUPLE OF APPLICATIONS COME THROUGH WITH THEM, AND WHAT WE'VE DISCOVERED IS THE STACKING THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THOSE DRIVE-THROUGH WINDOWS BECOMES A, A BIG PROBLEM IN THOSE TIGHT URBAN LOTS.
SO THE CHANGES PROPOSED, REMOVE BOTH THOSE USES IN BOTH DISTRICTS.
RESTAURANTS ARE STILL ALLOWED.
UH, KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT RETROACTIVE.
SO ANY USES THAT ARE CURRENTLY EXISTING TODAY WILL STILL BE ALLOWED TO EXIST.
AND THAT WOULD'VE NOTHING TO DO WITH WALK-UP WINDOWS, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.
WHAT ABOUT BICYCLE? BICYCLE DRIVE-THROUGH
THE ONLY TWO DISTRICTS THAT DON'T REQUIRE
[00:45:01]
THAT ARE THE CBD AND D R D.UH, BUT WHAT THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT DOES IS IT ALLOWS, UH, FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF ANCILLARY ISSUES SUCH AS PARKING, ACCESS IMPACTS ON OTHER SURROUNDING BUSINESSES TO BE CONSIDERED AS A PART OF THE ENTITLEMENT AS IT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS.
UH, WE'D LIKE TO ADD THAT IN FOR CBD AND D R D.
IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR PLACES OF WORSHIP BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAVE SOME STATE, UH, MANDATED BOUNDARIES THAT DON'T ALLOW OTHER BUSINESSES WITHIN THAT.
SO WE WANNA BE CAREFUL WHERE THOSE LOCATE OVER TIME.
UM, AND THEN ALSO ADD A REQUIREMENT FOR A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR RETAIL SALES AND SERVICE IN THE D R D.
UH, THE CURRENT ALLOW, THE CURRENT ORDINANCE ALLOWS THAT BY, RIGHT? AND IF YOU REMEMBER, I'M, YOU SAID WE'RE TRYING TO DELINEATE A LITTLE BETTER OR DRAW A HARDER LINE OF DISTINCTION, CREATE THAT TRANSITION AND STEP DOWN INTO D R D.
WE THOUGHT BY ALLOWING, UH, STILL ALLOWING RETAIL, BUT MAKING THEM GET THE SPECIFIC USE PERMIT THAT WE CAN STILL ACCOUNT FOR THINGS LIKE PARKING ACCESS AND THE IMPACTS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE IT'S GETTING ITS ENTITLEMENTS.
AND LAST, YOU HEARD THAT WORD A LOT IN THE, IN THE ORDINANCE, THAT THE MAYOR RED, UH, TO ADD OUR, UH, ARTISAN INDUSTRY IN AS AN ALLOWED USE IN THE C B D AND PARTIALLY IN THE D R D CURRENTLY, THERE'S NO ALLOWED, UH, INDUSTRY AT ALL EXCEPT FOR, UH, UH, SOME SOFT LANGUAGE ABOUT LABORATORY USE.
UH, MOST VIBRANT URBAN DISTRICTS NOW TYPICALLY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS AND MAKERS TO BE A PART OF THAT DISTRICT.
UH, THE CHANGE INCLUDES A DESCRIPTION SHOWN ON RIGHT, THAT'S A SMALL SCALE.
UH, IT'S GENERALLY PRODUCTION OF GOODS BY ARTISTS, CRAFTSPEOPLE, COOKS, THINGS LIKE THAT ON THEIR PREMISE.
IT CAN BE FOR RETAIL, IT COULD ALSO BE A PART OF A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
IT COULD JUST BE VIEWED BY PEOPLE WALKING BY.
BUT, UH, WE WANTED TO ALLOW THAT IN THE DISTRICT TO KEEP THAT VIBRANCY GOING.
WE DID DISTINGUISH, AND IT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET, THERE'S A LOW INTENSITY WHICH WOULD BE ALLOWED IN BOTH DISTRICTS, WHICH DON'T HAVE THOSE KIND OF, UH, EXTERIOR IMPACTS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, VERSUS HIGH INTENSITY, WHICH WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED IN C B D.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS I WENT THROUGH AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH, UH, THE CENTRAL ENT URBAN DISTRICT BOARD AND CREATION OF THEM, THEY DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL AT THEIR OCTOBER MEETING, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, HAS TO REVIEW ALL ZONING CHANGES.
SO THEY TOOK A LOOK AT IT IN NOVEMBER AND ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
SO HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
DO WE HAVE ANY CHURCHES THAT ARE IN THIS DISTRICT NOW? SURE.
UH, ALL AND THEIR GRANDFATHERED IN THEIR GRANDFATHERED DIDN.
IT'S JUST GONNA REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL UP FRONT AND SEE HOW IT'S GONNA WORK.
I MEAN, I, IT'LL BE UP TO THEM TO, TO WORK WITH NEIGHBORS AROUND, BUT, YOU KNOW, ON A, ON SUNDAY OR WHATEVER DAY OF WORSHIP, PARTNERING WITH OTHER PARKING OPPORTUNITIES AND, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO YEAH, A VERY DENSE ENVIRONMENT.
IF YOU PUT A CHURCH IN THE RIGHT, IN THE WRONG PLACE, IT COULD HAVE AN EFFECT ON A LOT OF PLACES DIRECTLY AROUND KNOW WHETHER THEY COULD LOCATE THERE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT WORK.
NEED TO, THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION.
ANY COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS ORDINANCE NUMBER? MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

AND WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THAT ONE.
AND CAN I PULL, THAT ONE SHOULD BE VOTED ON SEPARATE? YES.
SO YOU NO, READY DO THE PRESENTATION, BUT WHEN WE DO THE VOTE, WE'RE GONNA OKAY, VERY GOOD.
ANDY CONY, YOUR'S, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ADMINISTRATION.
AND, UM, TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH THE THEME THIS EVENING THAT WE HEARD WITH VIBES, AND THEN WITH MR. INK'S PRESENTATION, IT, I THINK WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS THE CITY PLAYING A ROLE IN FURTHERING ACTIVITY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
BUT AS YOU KNOW, IF YOU JUST DRIVE AROUND ANY RIGHT NOW, YOU SEE QUITE A BIT OF ACTIVITY GOING ON IN THE ITEM I'M GONNA VISIT WITH YOU ABOUT IS ACTIVITY THAT IS ABOUT TO START.
SO THIS EVENING IS ITEM 10
SO WANNA SPEND A FEW MINUTES THIS EVENING VISIT WITH YOU ABOUT THIS AND BEFORE GETTING THE BACKGROUND OF THE ITEM, THOUGHT IT'D BE A GOOD CHANCE TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROJECT.
AND I'M GONNA CROSS MY FINGERS.
SO HERE IS THE EMBER, WHICH WILL BE 23 SINGLE FAMILY COTTAGE STYLE HOMES THAT'LL BE BUILT JUST SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN, LOCATED BETWEEN EIGHT HERE ON THE NORTH AND NINTH ON THE SOUTH, WHITTLER TO THE WEST AND BOULEVARD TO THE EAST.
SO THE DEVELOPMENT WILL FEATURE A MIX OF HOUSING STYLES AND SIZES.
AND SO YOU'LL SEE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS RIGHT HERE.
SO EIGHT OF THESE HOMES WILL LOOK LIKE THIS EXAMPLE, A 2000 SQUARE FOOT UNIT WITH TWO BEDROOMS AND TWO BATHS AND TUCK UNDER GARAGES, WHICH YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE.
SO AGAIN, THAT'LL BE EIGHT OF THOSE JUST TO GIVE YOU A LOOK AND FEEL ABOUT WHAT THIS WOULD BE.
UM, AND THEN FOUR OF THE HOMES WILL LOOK LIKE THIS, WHICH ARE NEARLY 1500 SQUARE FEET WITH THREE BEDROOMS AND TWO AND A HALF BATHS.
AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE ATTACHED GARAGES.
SO, UM, THROUGH THE DESIGN YOU CAN CREATE A SENSE OF A GREAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY IN PLACE.
AND SO WITH THE, THROUGHOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT, WHAT YOU SEE IS, UH, HEAVILY LANDSCAPED AREAS AND LOTS OF COMMON AREAS THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT.
AGAIN, IT'S, UH, BETWEEN EIGHTH AND NINTH AND WHITTLER AND BOULEVARD 23 COTTAGE STYLE HOMES.
SO JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE AGREEMENT BACKGROUND.
SO, UM, IN FEBRUARY OF 2022, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED, UH, BY THIS BODY FOR THIS PROJECT.
DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT ARE AS FOLLOWS.
SO THE DEVELOPER PAYS THE FULL COST TO BUILD THE 23 SINGLE FAMILY COTTAGE STYLE HOMES.
AND THEN AFTER THAT OCCURS, THE CITY WILL REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER A PORTION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE COST FOR THE INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAX IN THE PROJECT AREA.
SO AT THAT TIME, WHICH IS ABOUT A YEAR AGO NOW, UH, THE TOTAL PROJECT COST WAS ANTICIPATED TO BE 14 MILLION.
AND THEN THE MAXIMUM CITY REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PROJECT WAS $900,000 THIS EVENING, BRINGING BACK THE SAME STRUCTURE OF THAT AGREEMENT.
BUT NOW THE TOTAL PROJECT COST IS $16 MILLION AND THE MAXIMUM CITY REIMBURSEMENT IS $1.65 MILLION.
SO MORE ON THAT ON THE UPCOMING SLIDES.
AND THEN JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE AGREEMENT BACKGROUND.
SO WHY THE AMENDMENT? UM, AS LOTS OF BUSINESSES AND, AND OUR PERSONAL LIVES WE'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW, THE HIGHER COST DUE TO INFLATION.
BUT WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE HIGHER THE PROJECT COSTS MEANS THE HIGHER THE ASSESSED VALUE WHEN THE HOMES ACTUALLY GET DONE, WHICH MEANS THERE'S HIGHER TIFF REVENUE FOR THE PROJECT WHEN IT ACTUALLY DOES GET COMPLETED.
AND TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROJECT DELAYS, THE CITY HAS HAD A SEWER PROJECT ON NINTH STREET THAT, THAT IS NOW WRAPPING UP OR IS COMPLETE.
I KNOW IT'S VERY CLOSE TO BEING COMPLETE.
I'LL LET OUR INTERIM CITY ENGINEER CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ON THAT.
UM, AND THEN ALSO JUST AS WE'VE SEEN WITH LOTS OF PROJECTS THAT ARE OCCURRING IN OUR DOWNTOWN WITH INFILL DEVELOPMENT EQUALS MORE CHALLENGING TO DESIGN AND APPROVE.
BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPER IS VERY CLOSE TO BEING DONE, UM, IN GETTING THROUGH ALL THE CITY PROCESS OWNER TO START
[00:55:01]
THIS PROJECT.SO WE THOUGHT IT PRUDENT TO BRING YOU THE, UH, AMENDED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THIS EVENING.
SO, UH, TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, WHY INCENT AND SORT OF WHAT THE, UH, MECHANISMS OF THAT WILL LOOK LIKE? SO, UH, THIS PROJECT IS WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN TIFF AND IN THE ADOPTED TIFF POLICY GUIDE, ONE OF THE GOALS OF THE TIFF IN DOWNTOWN IS FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL LIVING UNITS AND FOR THOSE TO BE HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT FOR DOWNTOWN.
UM, SO A LITTLE HOW THE AGREEMENT IS STRUCTURED.
SO, UM, IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT ONCE THESE 23 HOMES GET BUILT, THEY WILL GENERATE AN ADDITIONAL, UH, 2.7 MILLION AVAILABLE OVER THE LIFE OF THE TIFF.
AND WHAT THIS SAYS IS THE CITY IS WILLING TO REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER UP TO 1.65 MILLION.
AND HOW WE ARRIVED AT THAT COST IS WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THEN PRICING THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE IS PRIMARILY PAVING, SO PAVING, THINK ALLEY AND STREET SCAPE, AS WELL AS STREET LIGHTING, LANDSCAPING, AND THEN, UM, WATER SEWER AND STORM WATER.
SO HOW THE UH, AGREEMENT IS STRUCTURED IS THE FASTER THE HOME GET GETS BUILT, THEN THE FASTER THE DEVELOPER GETS REIMBURSED.
SO FOR YEARS ONE THROUGH 10, 90% OF THE MONEY THAT'S GENERATED OFF THE PROJECT WILL THEN BE GIVEN BACK TO THE DEVELOPER.
AND THEN YEARS 11 ON 75% OF THAT WILL BE BE GENERATED.
AND IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT, UM, AFTER 13 YEARS, THE MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE REACHED.
SO AGAIN, VER THE, THE STRUCTURE OF THE DEAL IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT WAS ALMOST A YEAR AGO WHEN THIS COUNCIL APPROVED IT.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGED THAT THE PROJECT HASN'T GOT STARTED, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THE COST HAVE GONE UP FOR THE PROJECT, WHAT THAT ALSO MEANS IS THAT THERE'S MORE MONEY WILL BE GENERATED ONCE THESE HOMES ARE COMPLETED AND HIT THE TAX ROLL.
SO, HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
SO WHAT PHASE DO YOU KNOW OF, OF THEM GETTING STARTED ARE PLANS SUBMITTED? ENGINEERING PLANS? THEY'VE BEEN SUBMITTED SEVERAL TIMES.
YEAH, WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN WORK, WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH WITH THEM AND, AND, UM, IT'S ALWAYS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THIS AND SO WORKING THROUGH THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED.
AND I KNOW THAT THEY'RE CORRECTING THOSE.
IN FACT, I'VE SEEN, I SAW SEVERAL EMAILS OVER THE PAST WEEK THAT HAVE DIRECTLY TIED TO THIS.
I REPRESENT THE DEVELOPER HERE.
UH, AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN A DELAY ON THE FIRST PROJECT, UH, THE LARK.
AND SO THAT'S KIND OF TIED UP THE PROCESS OF EXTENDING CAPITAL ON THIS PROJECT.
BUT I BELIEVE MOST OF THOSE ISSUES HAVE BEEN LINED OUT.
UH, AND THERE'S ANOTHER PROJECT AFTER THIS ONE, THE THIRD ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO BRINGING ONLINE.
AND SO, UM, THE PROCESS HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT PAINSTAKING WITH SOME OF THE DETAILS OF THE LARK, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPER HERE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO BRINGING THIS OUTTA GROUND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THEY BELIEVE THE MARKET IS THERE.
THEY BELIEVE THE VOLUME OF 23 HOMES SHOULD BE EASILY ABSORBED.
UH, AND I KNOW WORKING WITH, UH, STEVE AND ANDY, UH, THEY'VE BEEN ASKING US TO GET IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THEY CAN START THAT PROCESS WITH THEIR LENDING PARTNERS AND WITH THE CITY ENGINEERING.
UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? SO LET'S GO, LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE, UH, 10 B TWO.
THIS ONE BY ITSELF, WHICH MOVE TO APPROVE 10 B TWO SECOND.
SECOND, PLEASE CATCH YOUR VOTE.
AND NOW WE'LL TAKE A VOTE ON 10 B ONE.

UH, CONVENIENT STORE AND FUEL SALES ARE, UH, LIMITED TO THE HARD CORNER OF SUN AND COVE IN A 300 BY 300 FOOT AREA.
IN ADDITION, THE P U D LIMITS BUSINESS HOURS FOR COMMERCIAL TENANTS ABUTTING THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE, UH, TO OPERATIONS, UH, NOT OPERATING BETWEEN 5:00 AM AND 11:00 PM SORRY, THAT'S AMENDED.
UH, THE SITE IS ADJACENT TO THE I 35 CORRIDOR, WHICH HAS A HIGHER STANDARD FOR LANDSCAPING AND BUILDING MATERIALS.
UH, THE P D COMMITS TO MEETING THOSE STANDARDS.
UH, AS THE SITE IS DEVELOPED, UH, THE PD COMMITS TO LIMITS ON THE HEIGHTS OF LIGHTING FIXTURES WITHIN A HUNDRED FEET OF THE SOUTH AND WEST BOUNDARIES TO 15 FEET TALL.
IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE LIGHT POLLUTION, UH, THE PD ELSE COMMITS TO MEETING THE SENSITIVE BORDER STANDARDS OF THE CITY AND FURTHER COMMITS TO A 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN BOUNDARIES.
THE P U D ALLOWS DETENTION IN THE WEST WESTERN 30 FOOT BUFFER THAT WAS AGREED TO AT CITY COUNCIL, I MEAN AT PLANNING COMMISSION.
AND SINCE THAT TIME, A DRIVEWAY, UH, THE P U D'S BEEN AMENDED TO ADD A DRIVEWAY ON THE COVE THAT WOULD BE LOCATED IN THE 30 FOOT BUFFER UNTIL IT CAN SAFELY TRANSITION TO THE EAST AND OUT OF THE BUFFER.
SO THAT IS THIS DRIVE RIGHT HERE.
UH, THAT IS, UH, IN RESPONSE TO THE CITY'S DRIVEWAY SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THAT DISTANCE FROM THIS MAIN DRIVE HERE AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
UH, OTHER SCREENING INCLUDES AN EIGHT FOOT TALL OPAQUE FENCE WHERE THE SIDE ABUTS RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
UH, THE U D MASTER PLAN SHOWS THREE ENTRANCES ON THE COVE AND ONE ONTO SOONER.
UH, THE PD ALSO COMMENCES MEETING THE CITY OF EDMOND STANDARDS FOR MOST OTHER THINGS LIKE SIGN SIDEWALKS, PLATTING, ET CETERA.
UH, THE SUBURBAN COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION SUPPORTS THE USES PROPOSED PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON DECEMBER 6TH.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF RIGHT NOW? NO.
APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING? YES, BRIEFLY, DAVID, BOX FIVE TWENTY TWO, CALL COURT DRIVE.
SO THIS IS, UH, AN ITEM THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO FILE THE PD, BUT AS STAFF MENTIONED, WE HAD TO CHANGE A CONFERENCE PLAN DESIGNATION.
SO IT AFFORDED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO START WITH A, UH, COMMUNITY CONNECTION MEETING.
AND SO WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE MEETINGS, MULTIPLE REVISIONS, UH, TO A POINT NOW WHERE I THINK WE HAVE A PUT THAT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED MORE THAN ANY PUT I'VE BEEN A PART OF IN THE CITY OF EDMOND, UH, WHICH IS GOOD.
YOU KNOW, MR. WORK, UH, WHEN HE FIRST GOT INVOLVED, STARTED OFF BY SAYING, YOU KNOW, THE P U D THAT WE HAD WAS, UH, SIMPLY A REGURGITATION OF THE, THE BAY ZONING DISTRICT.
WELL, I THINK IT'S A FAR CRY FROM THAT NOW.
UM, MULTIPLE CONCESSIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.
UH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO START AT THE FACT THAT WE, WE AGREED TO MEET THE SENSITIVE BORDER STANDARD UPFRONT.
UH, AND SINCE THAT TIME, WE HAVE ADDED ADDITIONAL ITEMS INTO THE P D THAT NOW EXCEEDS WHAT THE SENSITIVE BORDER STANDARD WOULD REQUIRE.
UH, IN ADDITION, UH, WE HAVE AGREED TO, TO SEVERAL THINGS THE NEIGHBORS ASKED FOR.
THEY ASKED FOR, UH, LIGHTING TO BE LIMITED TO 15 FEET IN HEIGHT IN A CERTAIN PORTION OF THE P U D.
UH, WE AGREED TO A 30 FOOT BUFFER ON THE SOUTH, AND AS OF PLANNING COMMISSION, WE AGREED TO THE 30 FOOT BUFFER ON THE WEST AS WELL, UH, WITH THE CAVEAT THAT DETENTION CAN BE PLACED THERE.
AND OF COURSE, AS STAFF MENTIONED, WE, WE HAVE THAT DRIVE THAT'S BEEN LOCATED AT THE SAME PLACE SINCE OUR VERY FIRST SITE PLAN.
THE DRIVE IS LOCATED THERE FOR A COUPLE REASONS.
ONE, AS STAFF POINTED OUT, IT MEETS YOUR DRIVEWAY SEPARATION REQUIREMENTS, WHICH IS A TRAFFIC SAFETY MATTER, AND ADDITIONALLY, IT IS ACROSS FROM ANOTHER DRIVE THAT EXISTS.
AND AS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT DICTATES, YOU WANT TO ALIGN THOSE DRIVES FOR, TO REDUCE THE POINTS OF CONFLICT, UM, WE FURTHER LIMITED THE, THE USE OF A CONVENIENCE STORE AT THAT NORTHEAST CORNER.
UM, TRY TO NEGOTIATE USES, TRY TO NEGOTIATE, UM, WHERE CERTAIN THINGS COULD HAPPEN WITHIN THE, THE SITE.
WE ARE NOT IN THE I 35 CORRIDOR, BUT, UH, SEEING THAT THOSE TYPES OF STANDARDS REQUIRE CERTAIN LEVEL OF DESIGN AND AESTHETICS, WE AGREED TO ADHERE TO BOTH THE ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS AND THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS.
UM, ALL OF THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON DIDN'T STOP IN, IN FACT, THIS MORNING.
IN CONVERSATIONS WITH, UH, COUNCILMAN MOORE, UM, WE HAVE AGREED THAT THE, THE DELTA AND POINTS BETWEEN THE BASE ZONING, DISTRICT LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS AND THE I 35 HEIGHTENED LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS, THO THOSE ADDITIONAL POINTS WILL BE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH AND WESTERN PORTION OF, UH, THE P U D
[01:10:01]
SO THAT WE'RE ADDING EVEN MORE, UM, BUFFERING AND LANDSCAPING WHERE OUR USE IS ADJACENT TO, UH, THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.THIS IS AN AREA OF EDMOND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S UNDERGONE A LOT OF CHANGE, A LOT OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN BOTH STREET AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
UH, AND WE THINK THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY HAD IN MIND WHEN THEY DEDICATED THOSE PUBLIC DOLLARS TO, UH, THIS AREA.
SO, UH, WITH THAT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT I THINK WE'VE COME A LONG WAY FROM WHERE THIS PUD WAS WHEN WE FILED IT AND NOW HAVE A P U D THAT HAS, UH, A WHOLE BUNCH OF RESTRICTIONS THAT, OF COURSE, WILL MAKE THIS EVEN MORE COMPATIBLE THAN IT WAS, BUT ALSO STILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO, TO BRING FORWARD TO THE CITY, UH, A DEVELOPMENT THAT'S COMPATIBLE, BUT ALSO A DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT THE CITY WILL ENJOY AND THE RESIDENTS WILL USE AND GENERATE SALES TAX.
SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND WOULD ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL.
COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW? I I I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.
THE SOUTHERN BORDER, THE 30 FEET DEFENSE YES.
FENCE GOING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE, OF THE LANDSCAPING OR THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE LANDSCAPING.
STEPH, COULD YOU WE HAVE THE CORRESPONDENT EXHIBITS OF THIS SHOWS THOSE, UM, ELEVATIONS.
UM, SO WHAT'S DRAWN IS THAT THE FENCE WOULD BE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, HERE'S THE PROPERTY LINE.
AND SO RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, DISRUPT THE TREES OR, OR, YOU KNOW, PUT THE FENCE THERE, WE'VE PUT IT ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE SO THAT THE NEIGHBORS GET THE ADDED BENEFIT OF, UH, THAT, THAT THAT BUFFER.
UM, I'M SORRY, NOT THE APPLICANT CAPTAIN JUST SPOKE.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE MR. WORK? I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE COMING IN TO SPEAK FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO'S SITTING HERE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY.
UM, MY ADDRESS IS 1 0 5 NORTH HUDSON, SUITE 3 0 4 IN OKLAHOMA CITY.
AND, UH, AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED, WE WERE HERE BEFORE YOU ALL IN NOVEMBER WHEN YOU, UH, MADE THE DETERMINATION TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UH, FROM THE RURAL RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY TWO, THE SUBURBAN COMMERCIAL CATEGORY.
AND THEN THIS APPLICATION HAD ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED, BUT IT, UM, FOLLOWED ALONG LATER, THEN THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
AND NOW IS BEFORE YOU HERE TONIGHT.
UM, IF I COULD, IF I COULD GET THAT LARGER AERIAL PHOTO PUT UP, I'D LIKE TO JUST POINT OUT SOME THINGS.
UH, JUST AS A REMINDER, I KNOW YOU ALL ARE, WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS IN OUR PRIOR PRESENTATION, BUT, UH, THE AUGUSTA FARMS NEIGHBORHOOD WAS, UH, PLATTED IN 1995.
IT CONSISTS OF IT'S A 30 ACRE TRACT.
UH, THIS IS, IT'S HERE ON THE SOUTH AND ON THE WEST SIDE.
UH, RUNNING UP TO COVELL DOES NOT EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO SOONER.
UH, IT IS PLATTED AS 19 RESIDENTIAL LOTS.
UH, THE, UM, P U D APPLICATION FOR THE, THIS IS THE 15 ACRE TRACK THAT'S THE SUBJECT OF THE P U D.
UH, THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO THE SUBURBAN COMMERCIAL DISTRICT WAS APPROVED IN NOVEMBER.
AND ACCORDING TO THE TEXT OF THE PLAN, THE SUB SUBURBAN COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION, UH, UNDER THAT, UH, DESIGNATION, BOTH E ONE AND P U D ARE CONSIDERED TO BE, UH, YELLOW ZONING DISTRICT.
SO THE CAUTIONARY, UH, CATEGORY, WHICH UNDER THE LANGUAGE STATES, UH, THOSE DISTRICTS, DISTRICTS E ONE AND P U D WITHIN THE SUBURBAN COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION REQUIRE INTENSE REVIEW, MUST CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE PUBLIC BENEFIT AND APPLICABLE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA.
SO IF I COULD, WE HAD SUBMITTED SOME EXHIBITS TO THE STAFF, I'D LIKE TO JUST SHOW THOSE TO YOU BRIEFLY.
UH, THE FIRST IS NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS, UH, SHOWS, UH, THE, UH, CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN JUST OVERLAID ONTO THE, UM, 15 ACRE TRACK.
SO YOU CAN GET A SENSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF THE PROPOSED, UH, DEVELOPMENT TO THE EXISTING RESIDENCES WITHIN, UH, AUGUSTA FARMS. AND THE ONE THAT IS THERE TO THE WEST THAT YOU SEE, UH, JUST RIGHT HERE AT ITS CLOSEST POINT, IT IS
[01:15:01]
APPROXIMATELY 25 FEET FROM THE BOUNDARY THERE BETWEEN THE, THE SUBJECT'S PROPERTY AND THAT, UH, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.SO IT IS, UM, UH, THERE IS, UM, THE REAL, UM, POSSIBILITY THAT THERE WILL BE ADVERSE IMPACTS, AND WE'RE JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TRY TO MINIMIZE THOSE THROUGH THE, UH, REQUIRE REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED A PART AS PART OF THIS P U D.
UH, LET ME ASK YOU TO MOVE, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE TO NUMBER TWO.
NOW, HERE IS THE SAME EXHIBIT WE'VE JUST OVERLAID ON THERE.
THE, UH, 30 FOOT, UM, BUFFER AREA THAT THERE HAS BEEN QUITE A LOT OF DISCUSSION.
SO YOU SEE THAT SHADED IN THE BLUE, THIS DIMENSION.
THERE'S 500 FEET HERE ALONG THE SOONER ROAD FRONTAGE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND THEN IT'S JUST UNDER 1200 FEET, UH, EAST AND WEST ALONG COVE.
SO THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF JUST THE, UM, THE LIMITED AREA OF BUFFER THAT, UM, WE ARE, UM, DISCUSSING FOR TERMS OF THE P U D AND TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE SPECIFICS ARE OF THAT PARTICULAR, UM, BUFFER.
AND IF YOU COULD MOVE ON THEN TO NUMBER THREE, THE, THERE'S BEEN REFERENCE TO, UH, THE, THERE WAS, THERE IS UNDER THE TERMS OF THE P U D PRESENTLY, THIS SHADED AREA, IT IS RESTRICTED DRIVE, DRIVE-THROUGH USES ARE NOT PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE P U D WITHIN THIS 200 FOOT AREA.
UH, WE ARE SUGGESTING AND REQUESTING THAT THAT RESTRICTION ALSO APPLY TO THE WEST BOUNDARY SO THAT THERE, SO THAT DRIVE-THROUGH USES WOULD ALSO BE, UH, LIMITED TO, UH, THE, THIS PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AND NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE LOCATED WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE WEST BOUNDARY WHERE THERE IS ALSO EXISTING RESIDENTIAL USE.
AND THEN IF YOU COULD MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE, PLEASE.
UH, THIS IS, UH, THE, UM, EXHIBIT THAT WAS REFERENCED EARLIER.
THIS IS A LINE OF SITE EXHIBIT THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT THAT JUST GIVES YOU A, UH, SENSE OF THE VIEWS FROM FOUR DIFFERENT POINTS ALONG THE, UH, SOUTH BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE RESIDENCES TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
AND THEN IF YOU COULD MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE, WE'VE JUST OVERLAID SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT I WANTED TO PROVIDE.
THE AREA THERE THAT IS, THAT YOU SEE THERE IN YELLOW, THERE ACTUALLY IS A, UM, PIPELINE EASEMENT THAT RUNS ALONG THE, UH, NORTH LINE OF THE RESIDENCES THAT ARE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
SO THERE'S A, THERE'S A PIPELINE EASEMENT HERE THAT'S DEPICTED IN THAT AREA.
SO THESE, IT, IT IS, IS LOCATED ENTIRELY ON THE RESIDENCE PROPERTY.
IT'S NOT ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WITHIN THAT EASEMENT AREA.
OF COURSE, THEY'RE, THEY ARE PREVENTED FROM PLANTING TREES, SO THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE A LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITHIN THAT 60 FOOT PIPELINE EASEMENT.
AND THEN THE, THE GREEN THAT WE'VE SUPERIMPOSED HERE IS JUST THE, WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE PROVIDED WITH A, UM, WITH A LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
OUR OBJECTIVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN TO PRESERVE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE EXISTING TREE COVER.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT TREE COVER THAT IS PRESENT ALONG THE SOUTH BOUNDARY AND ALONG THE WEST BOUNDARY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
UH, WE, WE WOULD LIKE TO, OF COURSE, IT'S MATURE TREES, MOST OF THEM NATIVE OAK.
OUR OBJECTIVE HAS BEEN, UH, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE TO TRY TO PRESERVE THAT BECAUSE IT DOES PRESENTLY TODAY PROVIDE, UH, A GOOD SCREEN, UH, FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR THESE, UH, RESIDENCES.
UM, ALL OF THE HOUSES IN AUGUSTA FARMS ARE TWO-STORY HOUSES.
THEY ALL HAVE WINDOWS THAT LOOK OUT, UH, OVER THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
UH, THE, AS YOU ALL ARE AWARE, OF COURSE, THE E ONE RETAIL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, UH, INCLUDES THE, UH, WHOLE ARRAY OF RETAIL USES, INCLUDING RESTAURANTS, GROCERY STORES, FAST FOOD, CONVENIENCE STORES, CAR WASHES, ALL WITH THE ASSOCIATED NOISE, ODORS, LIGHTING, SIGNAGE AND TRAFFIC THAT COME WITH THOSE.
AND JUST AS A, JUST AS A GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF, UH, URBAN PLANNING, YOU GENERALLY WOULD NOT WANT TO HAVE THOSE KIND OF GENERAL RETAIL TYPE TYPE COMMERCIAL USES
[01:20:01]
DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL JUST BECAUSE THE LIKELIHOOD OF ADVERSE IMPACT, UH, IS HIGH.AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT UNDER THE TERMS OF THE P U D TO ENSURE THAT THE REGULATIONS ARE IN PLACE THAT WILL MINIMIZE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE, THOSE, UH, ADVERSE IMPACTS.
THAT'S BEEN OUR OBJECTIVE THROUGH THIS, UH, PROCESS.
AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEKING TO ACCOMPLISH IN OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH, EXCUSE ME, WITH THE APPLICANT, THE P U D OF COURSE, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IS CAPABLE OF BEING TAILORED TO THE PARTICULAR SITE SO THAT IT CAN, THE REGULATIONS CAN BE INCLUDED THAT WILL, UH, ADDRESS THIS KIND OF SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE, UH, COMMERCIAL USE THAT IS COMING TO AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND, UH, THAT, THAT NEEDS AND DESERVES, UH, THE PROTECTION.
NOW IS THE OPPORTUNITY, OF COURSE, IN THIS P U D REVIEW PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THOSE, UH, RESTRICTIONS ARE IN PLACE.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE TO YOU, UM, A LIST THAT, UH, THAT ARE, THAT WE HAVE THAT, THAT WE CONSIDER THE, UH, REMAINING ITEMS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ADDRESSED IN THE P U D.
SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UPON, BUT, UH, IN OUR VIEW, THERE'S ADDITIONAL, UH, STEPS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN.
AND IF I COULD, MR. MAYOR, COULD I JUST HAND THESE OUT TO CITY CLERK PLEASE? I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THEM VERY QUICKLY.
AND IS THIS A, A LIST THAT WAS JUST PROVIDED TODAY? I SEE IT'S DATED TODAY, ISN'T YOU? IT, THE, THE, THE TOPICS ARE NOT NEW.
UH, THE TOPICS ARE, ARE, HAVE BEEN BEING DISCUSSED BETWEEN THE APPLICANT AND, UH, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, BUT WE JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT ON THE SPECIFIC TERMS. UM, THE, THE FIRST IS THAT WE, UM, ARE REQUESTING THAT THE 30 FOOT WIDE BUFFER ALONG THE SOUTH AND WEST BOUNDARY OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THAT THERE BE NO CUT AND FILL DONE IN THAT AREA.
AND OF COURSE, WHAT THAT WOULD ALLOW IS IT WOULD ALLOW TO PRESERVE THE EXISTING TREE CANOPY, WHICH WE BELIEVE IS CRITICAL FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
NUMBER TWO IS THERE'S BEEN REFERENCE MADE TO THE I 35 CORRIDOR LANDSCAPING.
WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT, UM, 45% OF THE I 35 CORRIDOR REQUIRED LANDSCAPING B TREES WITHIN THAT 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG THE SOUTH AND WEST BOUNDARY WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A MINIMUM OF 20 LIVE TREE UNITS FOR EVERY 250 SQUARE FEET OF REQUIRED LANDSCAPED BUFFER AREA.
NOW, THOSE ARE SPECIFIC, SPECIFIC TERMS THAT COME FROM THE I 35 CORRIDOR REQUIREMENTS, BUT THAT'S WHAT OUR OBJECTIVE IS.
WE'D LIKE TO GET THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF TREES PROVIDED FOR WITHIN THE BUFFER SO THAT WE GET THE, UH, THE SCREEN THAT WE THINK IS NEEDED AND APPROPRIATE.
AND THEN WITH RESPECT TO NUMBER THREE, UH, THE APPLICANT DID AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION COMMIT TO PROVIDE THE 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALSO ALONG THE WEST BOUNDARY, WHICH WE DISCUSSED EARLIER, WHERE THIS, THERE IS THIS EXISTING RESIDENCE THAT IS JUST 25 FEET OFF OF THAT BOUNDARY.
UM, BUT THEY DID, UM, INCLUDE AN EXCEPTION, UH, THAT THE, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE DETENTION WITH THE, WITHIN THAT AREA, WHICH WE'RE OKAY WITH.
BUT WE, THEY SINCE THEN, SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, THEY'VE SUBMITTED LANGUAGE, A REVISED LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ALLOW THIS ACCESS DRIVE TO ENCROACH INTO THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
AND SO WE WOULD LIKE THAT NOT TO BE THE CASE.
WE WOULD LIKE THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER TO EXTEND UP AND DOWN THAT ENTIRE, UH, WEST BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY THAT IT ESSENTIALLY, UH, WOULD, UM, ELIMINATE THE BUFFER THERE AT THE ENTRY POINT IF THE APPLICANT IS ABLE TO USE THAT FOR AN ACCESS DRIVE.
IT CAN'T, IT CAN'T BE BOTH, IN OTHER WORDS.
UM, A COUPLE OF OTHER POINTS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BE INCLUDED IN THE, UM, IN THE P U D I MENTIONED, THE, UM, THE, WE WOULD LIKE THE RESTRICTION ON DRIVE-THROUGH USES TO ALSO APPLY TO THE WEST
[01:25:01]
BOUNDARY SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE LOCATED WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE WEST BOUNDARY.THEY CURRENTLY, IT CURRENTLY READS THAT THEY CANNOT BE LOCATED WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE SOUTH BOUNDARY ONLY.
WE THINK THAT REQUIREMENT NEEDS TO ALSO BE THERE TO PROTECT THIS EXISTING RESIDENCE.
THE OTHER, UM, POINT THERE WAS A MR INS MADE REFERENCE TO THE, UM, OPERATING HOURS.
THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THE P U D THAT SAYS THAT THE OPERATING HOURS FOR COMMERCIAL TENANTS THAT ARE ABUTTING THE SOUTH BOUNDARY WOULD BE LIMITED TO 5:00 AM TO 11:00 PM THERE'S NO SIMILAR REQUIREMENT FOR THE WEST BOUNDARY, EVEN THOUGH WE'VE GOT A HOME RIGHT HERE.
SO WE WOULD LIKE THAT SAME REQUIREMENT APPLY TO THE WEST BOUNDARY FOR THE COMMERCIAL TENANTS THAT ARE ABUTTING THE WEST BOUNDARY, THAT THEIR OPERATING HOURS WOULD ALSO BE LIMITED TO BETWEEN 5:00 AM AND 11:00 PM.
SO THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE, UM, WE ARE REQUESTING THE COUNCIL REQUIRE BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THIS P U D.
UH, AND WE THINK THOSE ARE, UM, APPROPRIATE AND NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PROTECT THIS EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE, AND WE, FROM THE BEGINNING, WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED COMMERCIALLY.
UH, BUT NOW IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR IT TO BE, UH, DONE IN A WAY THAT PROVIDES ADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE WON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT LATER.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SITE PLAN, APPROVAL PROCESS, AND WE UNDERSTAND, OF COURSE, THAT THAT IS A STEP THAT WILL BE REQUIRED OF THIS APPLICANT.
BUT UNLESS THE REGULATIONS ARE INCLUDED WITHIN THE P U D OR ARE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE ORDINANCE, UH, THERE'S NO ABILITY TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AT THE SITE PLAN APPROVAL STAGE.
THE APPLICANT WILL MERELY NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE P U D, THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ORDINANCE, AND THEN THEY ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THAT SITE PLAN APPROVAL.
AND SO IF THE REGULATIONS ARE GONNA BE IN PLACE, IT'S GOTTA BE DONE AT THE P U D PROCESS IN OUR VIEW.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOUR HELP WITH.
I'M CERTAINLY HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MAY HAVE OF US COUNSEL, ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. WORKS RIGHT NOW? THANK YOU ALL.
I, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. S MM-HMM.
SO THE, UM, THE WESTERN DRIVE, YOU SAID FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND TRAFFIC SAFETY BETWEEN THE ENTRANCES HAD TO BE MOVED UP, MOVED WEST, IS THAT CORRECT? SO OUR DRIVEWAY SEPARATION ORDINANCE MM-HMM.
ONE, WE WANT TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF DRIVES ON ARTERIALS MM-HMM.
AND THEN FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE FEWER INTERSECTIONS OF FEWER ACC UM, PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE CROSSING POINTS.
THE LESS CHANCES ARE ALL ACCIDENT.
SO THE MORE DISTANCE YOU HAVE BETWEEN 'EM, THE BETTER.
SO THAT, THAT IS, THAT'S A SAFETY THING MOVING THAT DRIVEWAY WEST.
THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE THE CONSIDERATION STAFF WOULD LOOK AT, AT THE SITE PLAN IF THEY WERE TO, UH, ASK FOR A VARIANCE TO THAT DRIVEWAY SEPARATION, WE WOULD LOOK AT THE, THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMPONENT OF THIS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW? APPLICANT? I'D LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING.
UM, SO IN TERMS OF, IN TERMS OF THE LOCATION OF THAT DRIVE, WHAT THE ARCHITECT AND THE ENGINEER SET OUT TO DO AT THE OUTSET WAS DRAW THIS TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF EDMOND'S CODES.
WHAT MR. INSTON IS REFERRING TO IS IF WE ACTUALLY MOVE THAT DRIVE TO THE EAST, WE'D HAVE TO SEEK A VARIANCE FROM YOUR SAFETY STANDARDS MM-HMM.
AND THAT THAT'S AT ACROSS FROM THE TO, UH, FROM ANOTHER RIGHT NOW IT ALIGNS YEP.
UH, DIRECTLY ACROSS, WHICH IS TO HOPEFULLY ELIMINATE SOME MORE TRAFFIC ISSUES.
IF THEY'RE NOT ALIGNED, UM, NOT ONLY DO WE FACE PROBLEMS WITH PROXIMITY TO OUR MAIN DRIVE TO THE EAST MM-HMM.
IF YOU'RE NOT, YOU MAY MISS THAT CAR.
SO THE, THE GOAL OF, AND, AND OF COURSE THE LOCATION OF THAT DRIVE IS NOT CHANGED MM-HMM.
NOW WE'VE TWEAKED THE P UD MASTER DESIGN STATEMENT TO ADD ADDITIONAL REGULATIONS, BUT WE HAVEN'T TWEAKED THIS BECAUSE THIS WAS OUR VERY FIRST SHOT OF THIS IS WHAT ALL OF THE ORDINANCES REQUIRE.
UM, AND THEN WE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOUR ORDINANCES REQUIRE WITHIN THIS.
[01:30:01]
OF THE UNDISTURBED 30 FOOT ISSUE, WE, WE CAN'T AGREE TO THAT.OF COURSE IT IS A COST SAVING MEASURE IF MY CLIENT IS ABLE TO SAVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE.
UH, BUT BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE TREES ARE OLD AND WE HAVE A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT GRADE DIFFERENTIAL, STEPH, YOU'D GO BACK TO THAT SITE.
UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BUILD, UH, A PRETTY GOOD SIZE RETAINING WALL.
AND SO WHEN WE DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO DISTURB SOME ELEVATORS, SOME EARTH.
AND SO, UH, WITH THAT, THE ELEVATORS WITH THAT, WE HAVE, THERE WE GO.
SO YOU CAN SEE HERE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THESE RETAINING WALLS, WELL THAT'S GONNA REQUIRE US TO, TO MOVE A BUNCH OF EARTH.
AND WHEN WE DO THAT, WE COULD GET INTO ROOT BALLS AND WE COULD DISTURB SOME OF THOSE TREES.
SO A 30 FOOT UNDISTURBED AREA REALLY BECOMES SOMETHING MORE LIKE A 50 FOOT UNDISTURBED AREA, WHICH IN TURN REALLY KILLS THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN PIECE OF THAT SITE.
SO 30 FOOT ON THE SOUTH, 30 FOOT ON THE WEST, OF COURSE IT'S GOING TO SAVE MONEY TO NOT DISTURB AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE TO GET MORE POINTS UNDER YOUR ORDINANCE TO DO SO.
BUT WE CAN'T AGREE TO HAVE IT BE UNDISTURBED CAUSE WE JUST KNOW THERE WILL BE SOME TREES THAT DO GET DISTURBED, BUT THERE'S STILL ENOUGH TREES THERE WHERE WE THINK THAT IT'S GONNA PROVIDE A NICE NATURAL, UH, MATURE BUFFER.
WE AGREE WITH KELLY'S POINTS THAT THIS IS THE TIME TO IMPLEMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS SO THAT A SITE PLAN, IT'S MERELY A CHECK ON WHAT THE P U D SAYS.
UH, WE THINK WE HAVE GONE ABOVE, UH, BEYOND WHAT THE CODE WOULD REQUIRE.
WE THINK WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS REQUIRED IN HERE THAT WE HAVE A P U D THAT NOT ONLY IT WORKS FOR MY CLIENT, BUT IS COMPATIBLE TO THE ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WE BELIEVE THAT'S WHY STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
WE BELIEVE THAT'S WHY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AND WE WOULD ASK THE SAME FROM YOU.
DAVID, CAN YOU GO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THIS MORNING ON THAT? YEAH.
SPECIFYING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE I 35 CORRIDOR LANDSCAPING CODE AND, AND STANDARD COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPING CODE, THERE'S MORE POINTS REQUIRED.
UM, I THINK WHAT YOU'VE AGREED TO DO AT THIS POINT IS THAT DIFFERENCE OF WHAT IS REQUIRED.
YOU WOULD TAKE THAT DIFFERENCE AND PUT IT AROUND AND SPECIFY IT TO, UM, LET'S SAY SOUTH AND WEST SENSITIVE BORDERS.
IF WE'RE TO GET THAT, THAT SPECIFIC, UM, WHAT NUMBER ONE, WHAT IT'S NOT IN THE P U D RIGHT NOW MM-HMM.
SO IN TERMS OF HOW DO WE, I GUESS, LOGISTICALLY GET IT INTO THE P U D, WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST, AND I I'LL DEFER TO YOUR, UH, LEGAL COUNSEL, UH, BUT PERHAPS, UH, IF THERE'S A MOTION TO APPROVE IT COULD BE MADE MOTION TO APPROVE CONTINGENT UPON THAT ADDITIONAL, UM, LANGUAGE BEING PUT INTO THE P U D.
I CAN GET IT TURNED AROUND TO STAFF TOMORROW.
SO THE DETAILS OF IT ARE, UM, AND I'M, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SPECIFIC NUMBER OF POINTS ARE IN THE I 35 CORRIDOR, BUT, SO WE'RE NOT IN THE I 35 CORRIDOR, BUT WE HAVE AGREED TO ADHERE TO THOSE STANDARDS.
SO WHATEVER THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE NUMBER OF POINTS REQUIRED FROM THE I 35 CORRIDOR TO OUR BASE ZONING DISTRICT, THAT'S GONNA BE A NUMBER, WHATEVER THAT NUMBER OF POINTS IS, WE WILL REQUIRE THOSE POINTS TO BE UTILIZED EXCLUSIVELY WITHIN THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PUT SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG THE WEST AND SOUTH.
SO THAT THAT ADDITIONAL BENEFIT THAT THE SITE IS GETTING, RATHER THAN BEING SPREAD ACROSS THE SITE, THE NEIGHBORS ARE GONNA GET THE ENTIRE BENEFIT OF THAT INCREASED LANDSCAPING, UH, POINT REQUIREMENT THAT'S OUTLINED IN YOUR I 35 CORRIDOR STANDARDS.
AND THEN AS WE MOVE THROUGH SITE PLAN, WHEN AN APPLICATION GETS FILED, YOUR STAFF WILL REVIEW THE P U D AGAINST THAT SITE PLAN AND WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE AND SHOW THAT THOSE ADDITIONAL POINTS, WHATEVER THEY ARE, ARE PLACED WITHIN THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN SIDES OF THE SITE WITHIN THAT 30 FOOT BUFFER SPECIFICALLY.
AND THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.
IS THAT, YES, I'M ASSUMING THERE IS.
YEAH, I, I COMMEND YOU JOSH, AND I LIKE THAT IDEA OF REAPPLYING THOSE, BECAUSE I THINK IT'LL HAVE A LOT MORE IMPACT IN THOSE AREAS THAN IT WOULD'VE ANYWHERE ELSE ON SITE.
SO I, WELL, AND WHAT I'VE LEARNED AND APPRECIATE THAT AND WHAT WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON TODAY IS I, I THINK WE'RE GONNA HEAR FROM, FROM MR WORK THAT, YOU KNOW, WHY, WHY CAN'T WE GO AHEAD AND COMMIT TO, TO WHAT EXACT PLANT UNIT THAT IS AND, AND HOW BIG AND HOW TALL, AND WE, WE GET INTO THIS CONUNDRUM, UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT THAT FAR ALONG IN THEIR ENGINEERING PLANS TO BE ABLE TO, TO
[01:35:01]
COMMIT TO, TO WHERE THEY'RE GOING.OR WHAT BEST IF IT IS A TREE, WHAT BEST TREE FITS IN THAT AREA, REGARDLESS WHAT GOES THERE, YOU WANT IT TO BE THE RIGHT THING, UM, FOR, FOR THAT SPACE.
AND SO, BUT MY, MY GUT AND AND EXPERIENCE TELLS ME THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN THOSE POINTS, AND I'M THANKING THE APPLICANT FOR, FOR VOLUNTEERING THAT THAT POINT DIFFERENCE BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS CASE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THOSE POINTS.
IT TAKES TREES, UH, TO BE ABLE TO GET THOSE POINTS AND USUALLY BIG ONES.
UM, AND SO IF THOSE, IF TO ENABLE TO SATISFY AND TO MEET WHAT THEY'RE, WHAT THEY'RE COMMITTING TO, I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL TURN INTO TREES IN THAT LANDSCAPE BUFFER.
MR. MAYOR, COULD I RESPOND JUST BRIEFLY TO A COUPLE OF POINTS YES, SIR.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, WITH RESPECT TO THE, I WANT TO, TO, UH, RESPOND COUNCILWOMAN PETERSON TO THE COMMENTS THAT WERE ADDRESSED ABOUT THE ACCESS POINT AND, UH, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, AND MAYBE THE AERIAL PHOTO WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SHOW THAT, BUT THE, UM, THERE IS A, THERE'S A RAISED MEDIAN THERE ALONG COVE BETWEEN OUR SITE AND THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH.
SO THERE'S NOT, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE CROSS TRAFFIC COMING ACROSS COVE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THERE.
SO THERE'S NOT THE ISSUE OF THAT WHERE WE'RE ALIGNING IT WITH THE, THE, UH, STREET OR THE DRIVE TO THE NORTH.
THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE CROSS CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE THERE'S A RAISED MEDIAN THAT EXISTS THAT WAS PART OF THE COVE IMPROVEMENTS THERE.
AND OF COURSE THE, THERE'S NOTHING THAT REQUIRES THAT THE APPLICANT HAVE THREE POINTS OF ENTRY ALONG COVE.
SO, UH, OUR POINT IS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO NOT HAVE AN ACCESS POINT DIRECTLY UP AGAINST THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY ALONG THAT WESTERN BOUNDARY.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT THERE BE A, UH, 30 FOOT BUFFER.
NOW, THE APPLICANT IN THEIR LANGUAGE THAT THEY SUBMITTED AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THEY MADE REFERENCE TO, WELL, THEY WOULD BEGIN A TURN TO THE EAST AFTER IT COMES IN, BUT IT, THE LANGUAGE IS SO VAGUE THAT YOU REALLY, IT'S REALLY WOULD BE UNENFORCEABLE.
THEY, THEY'RE NOT SPECIFIC ABOUT HOW THAT WOULD BE DONE OR, UH, AND THE, AND EVEN THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN THAT THEY MAKE REFERENCE TO IS, IS JUST THAT IT'S A CONCEPTUAL PLAN.
THERE'S NO WAY TO LOOK ON IT AND SAY, OKAY, WELL HERE'S WHERE THEY WOULD BE TURNING THE ACCESS ENTRY, UH, BACK TO THE EAST BECAUSE IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT SPECIFIC.
THEY JUST HAVE PUT SOME GENERAL LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT WOULD NOT BE CAPABLE OF BEING ENFORCED.
THE WAY THAT WE SEE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROTECTION IS THERE IS TO MAKE SURE IS JUST TO SAY THERE WILL BE THE 30 FOOT, UH, BUFFER THAT WILL BE PROVIDED ALL ALONG THAT WEST BOUNDARY WITHOUT ALLOWING AN ACCESS DRIVE TO CUT INTO IT.
UH, THEN THE OTHER POINT I WANT TO, WANTED TO ADDRESS IS THIS ISSUE ABOUT THE, THAT MR BOX, AND THIS CAME UP AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS WELL.
THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT, UM, CONCERN ABOUT THEY MIGHT DISTURB ROOTS AND THEN THEY WOULD SOMEHOW BE IN VIOLATION.
UH, I I, WHAT WE HAD, THE WAY WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THAT WAS BY JUST SAYING, WELL, LET'S JUST SAY THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CUT AND FILL WITHIN THAT 30 FEET.
AND THEN ANYTHING BEYOND THAT, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CUT AND FILL AS THEY PLEASE.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'VE ALREADY SAID THEY'RE INTENDING AND WILL BE BUILDING RETAINING WALLS AND SO THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT.
AND UH, AND WE JUST WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SPECIFICITY TO SAY, OKAY, WELL THIS AREA IS GONNA, IS GONNA BE LEFT ALONE, IT'S GOING TO BE LEFT IN ITS NATURAL STATE.
AND THAT WAY THERE IS THE INSURANCE THAT WE, THAT EXISTING TREE COVER WILL BE MAINTAINED.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S BEEN OUR OBJECTIVE WITH RESPECT TO THAT.
WE'RE NOT SUGGESTING TO THEM AND THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, TO DO DAMAGE TO, UH, ROOTS OF A TREE FOR THE CUT THAT THEY WILL BE DOING.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.
I, I, WELL, I, MR. WORKS I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION AND IT IS, IT IS REGARDING THROUGH THE FENCE THAT I, THIS IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.
UM, SO THE RESIDENTS, THE COMMUNITY
[01:40:01]
WILL GET THE BENEFIT OF ALL THAT LANDSCAPING THERE WITH THAT THERE WILL BE SOME TYPE OF AC IF THIS IS APPROVED THERE, I'M ASSUMING SINCE IT IS LANDSCAPING, THERE WILL BE SOME TYPE OF ACCESS POINT FROM THE COMMERCIAL SIDE TO THAT LANDSCAPING.MY CONCERN IS ENCROACHMENT ONTO THAT 30 FOOT FROM THE RESIDENCE FROM THAT, BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THEIR PROPERTY.
YEAH, WE UNDERSTAND THAT CERTAINLY.
SO HAVE Y'ALL HAD THAT DISCUSSION OF, OF, OF HOW OF NOT ENCROACHING ONTO THE OTHER LAND, THE 30 FEET THAT IS NOT RESIDENTIAL? THAT IS ACTUALLY THE, WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY SPECIFIC DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, BUT WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT THAT 30 FOOT BUFFER, THEY'RE NOT DEEDING IT TO US, THEY'RE NOT GIVING US TITLE TO THAT PROPERTY.
IT WOULD BE OWNED BY THE OWNER OF THE CENTER AND, UH, IT WOULD BE LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE P U D, BUT WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, THEY WOULD RE RE RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF IT AND RETAIN THE RIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AS WELL.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE COMMUNITY, IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE COMMENTS ON THIS APPLICATION? COUNSEL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ON THIS ONE? I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE.
I MEAN, WILL GONNA, ARE WE GONNA AMEND THE AMEND AS WELL? YES.
THE LANGUAGE THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER WITH RESPECT TO YEAH.
IF, IF IT, IF IT IS SPECIFIC ABOUT THE, UM, THE 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE OFFER YEAH.
AND BECAUSE WE HAD HAD SOME DISCUSSION AND IT WAS KIND OF GENERAL IN TERMS IN THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN SURE.
THAT, BUT IF IT'S SPECIFICALLY TO BE PROVIDED WITHIN THE 30 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER, THEN WE SUGGEST THAT SHOULD BE PART OF THE MOTION FROM THE EXTRA POINTS.
MR. MURDOCH, COULD YOU WORK WITH, UH, THE COUNCIL'S AND BE DIFFERENT, OR, OR ALSO MR. BOX, WOULD YOU REPEAT THAT LANGUAGE SO THAT WE CAN REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CONFUSION ON THAT LANGUAGE AS POSSIBLE? I SAID IT SO WELL THE FIRST TIME.
ARE YOU GONNA USE THE WORD DELTA? SO STEVE DOESN'T WANT ME TO USE DELTA
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BETTER DIFFERENCE IN POINTS.
THAT IT, SO LONG AS IT HAS THAT SPECIFIC LANGUAGE AS TO WHERE IT'S TO GO.
THAT THAT'S WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
MR. MURDOCH, COULD I ADD THAT TO MY YES.
AND MR. VOX, YOU'LL PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TO BE ADDED TO THE DESIGN STATEMENT THAT YOU PROVIDED TO US.
I THINK IT'S DATED JANUARY 4TH, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.
WE HAVE ROOM FOR ONE MORE REVISION ON THIS P U D.
YOU'LL SEND THAT TO US IN THE MORNING.
WELL, SO WE HAVE A MOTION WITH THIS SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IN IT MM-HMM.
I MADE A CONDITION OF THE P U D.
I'LL, I'LL SECOND THAT ONE WITH A LOT OF HELP FROM OTHERS.
HEY COUNSEL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE AND I MISS PROOF.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE CONNECTIONS, ALL THE COMMUNICATION BACK AND FORTH.
WE'LL LET THE AUDIENCE THIN OUT FOR A MINUTE.
[E. Case #SP19-00007 Public Hearing and Consideration for a Site Plan application for Knights of Columbus, located on the north side of East 2nd Street, east of Saints Boulevard. (Knights of Columbus) (Ward 2)]
E.WE HAVE CASE NUMBER S P 1900 0 7 PUBLIC
[01:45:01]
HEARING CONSIDERATION FOR A SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EAST SECOND STREET, EAST OF SAINTS BOULEVARD, KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AT APPLICANT.IS APPLICANT HERE? THEY'RE HERE, YES.
AS YOU SAID, THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING APPROVAL OF A BUILDING ADDITION OR A SITE PLAN THAT WOULD ALLOW A BUILDING ADDITION TO THE EXISTING KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS BUILDING ON EAST SECOND, JUST EAST OF SAINTS BOULEVARD.
UM, THE LONG KIND OF PANHANDLE LOT HERE WITH THE BUILDING SITTING APPROXIMATELY RIGHT THERE ON THAT LOT.
UH, THE ADDITION WILL BE 2,700 SQUARE FEET TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE EXISTING BUILDING AND WILL BE 20 FEET TALL AT ITS HIGHEST POINT.
UH, THE MATERIALS SHOWN ARE BRICK WITH WOOD ACCENTS AND THE SITE PLAN ALSO INCLUDES, UH, 40 PARKING SPACES.
THERE ARE A FEW VARIANCES MOSTLY RELATED TO THIS BEING AN EXISTING SITE.
UH, THERE'S A VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED TO THE 90 FEET OF REQUIRED RIGHT OF WAY ON SECOND STREET.
UH, INSTEAD THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSED DOING 80 FEET WITH A 10 FOOT UTILITY EASEMENT.
THERE IS A VARIANCE TO THE PARKING AND DRIES BEING ON A SEALED SURFACE INSTEAD UTILIZING THE EXISTING GRAVEL DRIVE AND PARKING AREAS.
UH, THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED AN ENGINEER'S REPORT STATING THAT THE DRIVE MEETS THE FIRE CODE STANDARDS FOR ACCESS AND THAT THE APPLICANT WILL BE, UH, PAVING THE HANDICAP PARKING AREAS FOR ACCESS AS WELL.
UH, THE PROJECT RECEIVED APPROVAL, UM, OF A VARIANCE FROM THE STORMWATER ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CULVERTS UNDER THE DRIVE.
UH, PLANNING COMMISSIONER REVIEWED AND HAD TWO VOTES FOR APPROVAL AND TWO, NOT TO APPROVE ON AT THEIR DECEMBER 6TH MEETING, RESULTING IN A RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL, UH, REASON CITED FOR THE VOTE WERE RELATED TO THE USE OF GRAVEL ON THE DRIVE IN PARKING.
RANDY, WAS THE CERTIFICATION, UH, ON THE GRAVEL DRIVE TO BE ACCEPTABLE FOR EMERGENCY USE, WAS THAT PROVIDED AT PLANNING COMMISSION? YES.
AT LEAST NOTIFICATION THAT WE HAD RECEIVED IT WAS RIGHT.
AND SO DID WE, UH, DID WE REVIEW THAT, UH, SUBMITTAL AND CONCUR WITH IT? OR DID FIRE CONCUR WITH IT? OR IS IT JUST, IT'S JUST A DOCUMENT THAT WE HAVE? IT IS A STAMPED ENGINEERING DOCUMENT SAYING THAT WE'LL CARRY THAT LOAD.
I THINK THAT IS PROBABLY THE EXTENT TO WHICH WE REVIEWED IT.
SO, UH, IT WAS THEIR ENGINEER'S OPINION THAT THE SURFACE AS PROPOSED WOULD CARRY THE 70,000 POUND, UH, FIRER.
AND SO WOULD THE CITY NOT GIVE AN OPINION ON THAT DOCUMENT THAT, OR THAT WE CONCUR OR NOT CONCUR WITH THAT FROM AN ENGINEERING ASPECT BEFORE YOUR TIME, BUT YEAH, ONE MORE TIME, BUT, UH, WE COULD, UM, WE DID NOT IN THIS CASE, STEVE, IS THIS A, WE'VE GOT THE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT STUDY AND MANUAL GOING.
IS THIS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT, THAT EVEN THE PARKING ITSELF THAT COULD COME OUT OF THAT EXERCISE? YEAH.
I MEAN, THIS IS ONE OF THE TECHNIQUES YOU'D USE IN LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT.
AND EVEN IF YOU DID USE IT, UM, IT, IT WOULD STILL NEED TO MEET, UH, AND, AND MOST OF THE TIME YOU'D SEE IT PROBABLY BUILT NEW OTHER THAN EXISTING IN THIS CASE.
UM, BUT IT WOULD STILL NEED TO MEET FIRE AND FIRE AND EMERGENCY TRASH.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO BECAUSE OF ALL'S AND, UM, OTHER STUFF THAT WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT FOR LOW IMPACT DRIVES.
DIDN'T WE HAVE THE SAME DISCUSSION OR A SIMILAR DISCUSSION THAT FOR THE, WAS IT FOR THIS SITE OR FOR THE JOINT SITE WE'RE DOING FOR THE LIBRARY IN Y I THOUGHT WE HAD SOME VERY SIMILAR CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT AND OR MAYBE THAT WAS ON THE SWAB MEETING.
BUT THIS IS, I HAD A CONVERSATION EARLIER TODAY WITH AN ENGINEER, I THINK THE ENGINEERING GROUP THAT'S, THAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH AND, AND, AND THEY'RE AWARE OF, OF THE L I D PROCESS THAT WE'RE IN.
AND, AND, AND THEY ALSO AGREED, THIS IS SOMETHING I, YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU MIGHT SEE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT CAN MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE OR CONCRETE, UM, CONCRETE BARRIERS ON THE SIDE THAT KIND OF FRAME IT IN AND, AND HELP WITH THAT.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WOULD USUALLY DO IF, IF YOU'RE BUILDING IT NEW.
IN THIS CASE IT'S EXISTING, IT APPEARS TO BE VERY STRONG
[01:50:01]
AND STURDY.UM, AND HAD BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME.
SO I, I THINK THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT CASE, BUT ANYWAY, IN OUR CONVERSATION TODAY, AT LEAST THIS ENGINEER AGREED THAT THIS IS, THESE ARE THINGS YOU SEE IN, IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT, THAT ALREADY HAVE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT METHODS.
WHEN I SAW IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT IT CAME BEFORE WE HAD FINISHED THAT.
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT WE'RE GONNA ADDRESS THIS AND IT WOULD ALSO PROBABLY ADDRESS MY CONCERN THAT THE EVALUATION OF STURDINESS OR WHATEVER YEAH.
AND FOR INSTANCE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE STILL REQUIRED TO, IN THE PARKING LOT, THEY'RE STILL REQUIRED TO INSTALL, UH, OR TO PROVIDE HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES.
UM, IF THERE'S A RAMP OR SIDEWALK FROM THAT MM-HMM.
UM, BUT THERE'S A, THERE'S ACTUALLY A BUILDING ON 15TH STREET, UH, JUST EAST OF SPRING CREEK, JUST EAST EAST OF PANERA, AND I THINK IT'S BEEN, AH, IT, IT MAY BE CLOSE TO 20 YEARS NOW.
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A, A, A GRAVEL ENTRY AND TRASH TRUCKS.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF A FIRE TRUCK'S EVER BEEN IN THERE, BUT TRASH DOES SERVICE THAT FACILITY.
AND NOW IT'S A, IT WAS AN INTERIOR DECORATING, CORRECT.
IT GOES TO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.
IT WAS AN OLD HOUSE THAT WAS REMODELED AND REPURPOSED.
UM, AND NOW I BELIEVE IT'S A, A SALON, UH, SALON AND, AND SPOT.
UM, BUT IT'S BEEN USED FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS WITH, WITH A GRAVEL DRIVE AND GRAVEL PARKING LOT.
I'M ALWAYS IMPRESSED WHEN I SEE IT AND DRIVE ON IT.
SO HOW WOULD WE ENSURE THAT OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT, UM, AND OUR ENGINEERS, I MEAN WE CAN'T, IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN OR CAN WE IMPROVE THIS BASED ON WHAT THE APPLICANTS ENGINEERS HAVE, HAVE PROVIDED US, UH, WITHOUT SOME ASSURANCE FROM OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR ENGINEERS THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE.
CAN WE DO THAT? IS THAT, CAN, CAN I ADD ONE THING TO THAT TOO? THAT ALWAYS GETS ME, WHAT, WHAT, UH, WHAT METHODS DO WE HAVE IN PLACE THAT IF AT SOME POINT IT'S NOT, AND THIS COULD BE THE SAME CASE WITH A, WITH A PRIVATE ROAD OR PAVED ROAD TOO, BUT IF IT'S OUT OF, IF IT'S OUT OF STANDARD OR NOT SAFE OR, AND I WE'RE PROBABLY THINKING BIG POTHOLES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
WHAT ARE, DO WE HAVE METHODS IN PLACE TO TO REQUIRE THEM TO, TO REPAIR IT OR IMPROVE IT? LIKE IF IT'S WASHED OUT? YEAH, THAT WAS MY QUESTION.
WELL, I THINK IF WE HAVE A COMPLAINT THAT THEY'RE NOT COMPLYING WITH THE SITE PLAN, WHICH REQUIRES THEM TO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE, UM, ACCESS INTO THEIR PROPERTY WITH REGARD TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE FOR THE GRAVEL OR WHATEVER YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL IT, THEN WE WOULD'VE THE APPROVAL, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CODE ENFORCEMENT MATTER, WE'D, WE'D CONTACT THEM AND TELL 'EM THEY NEED TO BRING IT UP TO DATE.
IF I READ THE MEMO CORRECTLY, I BELIEVE THE STAFF IS SUPPORTING THE VARIANCE REQUESTS.
SO WE DIDN'T HAVE AN ISSUE SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARD TO WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING.
WE DIDN'T GO THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF WHAT THEIR ENGINEER PROVIDED.
WE TOOK IT FOR WHAT IT WAS, WHAT IT WAS PRESENTED FOR.
UM, AND I THINK IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, THE MEMO SAYS THE FIRE CODE SERVICES HAVE REVIEWED THE PROJECT AND FINDS NO CONCERN THAT YOU PREVENT THE APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT.
THAT'S JUST WHAT I UNDERSTOOD, MR. RIGBY.
SO IT'S PLANNING, JUST PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE A, A FIFTH THERE.
SO WHEN IT'S 22, IT'S, IT'S AUTOMATICALLY DENIED.
SO THE QUESTION OUR CITY ENGINEER IS, LET'S SAY THERE'S A FIRE OR SOMETHING AND IT'S BEEN RAINING FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS, SOIL SATURATED, WE ATTEMPT TO DRIVE ON IT AND OUR FIRER SINKS TO, ITS AN AXLE'S, CAN'T GET IT TO IT, SITE BURNS DOWN, SITE BURNS DOWN, WHATEVER HAPPENS THERE.
I HAVE A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE TRUCK STUCK.
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? WHO'S LIABLE? IS IT, IS IT ONE THING FOR US TO CONSIDER THESE TYPE OF THINGS THAT SAY, OKAY, WELL CONSIDER US, BUT YOU MAY, YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE US A WAIVER IN THE EVENT FIRST RESPONDERS CANNOT ACCESS THE PROPERTY DUE TO MM-HMM.
AND THE CONCERN WAS, I TAKE A,
[01:55:01]
I DON'T KNOW, WHATEVER, A FIRETRUCK, IT'S 120 DEGREES AND ASPHALT AND YOU JUST SINK TO IT AND NOW WE CAN'T GET TO IT.AND THERE IS SOME EVENT IS, IT'S KIND OF AN AWARENESS OF, IT'S, IT'S THAT POINT.
SO I, I KNOW IN PHOENIX AREA WE'D HAVE WAIVERS, UH, OR ELSE WE'D SAY IF IT'S PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, WE DO NOT GO IN THOSE AREAS.
WE DON'T RESPOND CUZ THEY'RE NOT CERTIFIED TO HANDLE THE WEIGHT AND, AND TURN RADIUSS OF ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS.
SO THAT BE MY CONCERN AS, AS SENDING OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR, OUR VEHICLES IN THERE AND, AND EITHER IT'S POTHOLES OR WASHED OUT OR WHATEVER.
SOME UNFORTUNATE THING HAPPENS, LET ALONE THE, THE IMPACT TO OUR VEHICLES.
WE, WE, WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME MORE CONVERSATION.
WOULD THE APPLICANT LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING TO THIS? BLESS, BLESS, BLESS, UH, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
I AM THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF KARI THOMPSON INCORPORATED, WHICH IS OUR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MEMBERS THAT OWN THE PROPERTY.
SO WE ARE SUBMITTING IT AS CARITAS, BUT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS IT'S BEEN KNOWN.
UH, THE, UH, CARITAS INCORPORATED IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
OUR MAIN INCOME IS JUST GARAGE SALES.
SO WE BASICALLY HAVE A FINANCIAL PROBLEM IN THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE AS MUCH AS WE CAN IN THIS PLAN AND, UH, KEEP THE COST DOWN SO THAT WE CAN POSSIBLY AFFORD TO DO THIS AFTER WE HAVE ANOTHER FUND DRIVE TO ADD TO THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE SAVED.
THE, UH, BUILDING WILL BE USED MONTHLY FOR A MEETING AND POSSIBLY TWO MEETINGS A MONTH.
WE HAD 30 MEMBERS AT OUR MEETING LAST THURSDAY.
SO YOU CAN FIGURE ABOUT THE TRAFFIC THAT'S IN THERE.
VERY SMALL AMOUNT AND THERE'S OF COURSE OCCASIONAL GO INTO, WE MOW THE PROPERTY AND KEEP IT LOOKING NICE THAT I THINK THE NEIGHBORS REALLY APPRECIATE THE PARK ON THE BACKSIDE OF THEIR PROPERTY.
IT'S STRICTLY A MEETING PLACE.
I MEAN, WE COULDN'T, WHAT IF THIS THING TO DEATH ABOUT IF IT GETS BAD AND THIS AND THAT, BUT IT IS A ROAD THAT WE WILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN SO THAT WE CAN GET IN AND OUT PROPERLY.
I HAVE BEEN THE MAIN MAN THAT MAINTAINS THE PROPERTY AS FAR AS MOWING THE PROPERTY AND KEEPING IT LOOKING NICE.
PART OF THE ROAD WILL HAVE TO BE PART OF THAT.
THE ROAD WAS INITIALLY MOVED BY A DEVELOPER THAT HAD THE PROPERTY NEXT TO US SO THAT HE COULD GET THROUGH THE CITY, BUT NEVER WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CITY WITH ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.
AND NOW WE'RE STUCK WITH AN EXPENSE OF FINISHING THE, UH, ENDS OF THE PIPE SO THAT WATER WILL FLOW THROUGH PROPERLY.
I'VE GOT, UH, OUR ENGINEER HERE WHO IS WITH THE ENGINEER THAT TALKED TO MR. MOORE.
I'LL LET HIM SPEAK AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR APPROVAL OF OUR VARIANCES.
CAN I ASK YOU ONE QUESTION, UH, BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN? WOULD, DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO AGREE TO A WAIVER, UM, THAT IF FOR SOME REASON THE, UH, ROAD WAS IN SUCH DISREPAIR THAT, THAT WE COULDN'T RESPOND TO A, A LIFE SAFETY INCIDENT OR EMERGENCY INCIDENT THAT THE CITY WOULDN'T BE LIABLE AS PRESIDENT? I, I WOULD SAY YES, I THINK, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT OF THE MEMBERSHIP.
THANK AND SIR, WE'RE NOT, YEAH, WE'RE GOING A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL BECAUSE WE ARE IN THIS QUANDARY.
WE HAVE THE STUDY GOING ON AND LOOK AT MORE MATERIALS LIKE THIS AND YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF THAT REPORT COMING FORWARD.
SO THE EXPERIENCE UP HERE ON THIS COUNCIL, THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT TO ENSURE TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY APPEAR THAT THE RISK TO THE CITY IS MINIMIZED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND ALSO
[02:00:01]
THE RISK TO YOUR ORGANIZATION, YOUR PEOPLE, AND OUR FIRST RESPONDERS.THE, I THINK THE ENGINEER WAS GONNA SAY SOMETHING.
UH, MY NAME'S GREG SPARKS, SO WITH MK C ENGINEERING, UM, UM, ALSO A MEMBER OF KNIGHTS, BUT, UM, JUST GONNA ADD ON TO A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT TOM WAS SAYING.
I BELIEVE THEY'VE OWNED THAT PROPERTY SINCE AROUND THE 1980S.
SO THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME AND THEY JUST MEET ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH AND IT'S USUALLY 20 TO 40 CARS AT MOST, OR PEOPLE AT MOST.
UM, UM, SO THERE'S REALLY NOT A WHOLE LOT OF DEVELOPMENT GOING ON THROUGH THERE.
UM, THIS USED TO BE PRIOR TO WHAT'S OUT THERE NOW, IT'S KIND OF AN EMBANKMENT WITH, UH, FIVE 40 INCH INCH PIPES GOING UNDERNEATH THERE.
PREVIOUSLY IT WAS JUST AN AT GRADE, IT WAS A LOW AT GRADE WATER CROSSING AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE USED SINCE THE 1980S.
UH, SO THE, THE STRUCTURE THAT'S OUT THERE NOW HAS ONLY BEEN THERE FOR THE LAST, I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY AROUND NEXT LAST FOUR YEARS.
AND THAT WAS DONE KIND OF WHAT TOM WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE DEVELOPER THAT WENT OUT THERE AND PUT IT IN THERE PRIOR TO APPROVAL.
UM, BUT TO KIND OF OFFSET THAT, WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS PUT THOSE CONCRETE END SECTIONS ON BOTH SIDES, UH, THAT WAY IT KEEPS, APPLIES PIPES IN PLACE AND IT CAN, UM, HELP ALLEVIATE ANY KIND OF EROSION TO THE STREET ABOVE IT.
UM, I DO THE PAVEMENT DESIGN ON THAT.
I DO PRIMARILY MY AREA'S EXPERTISE IS TRANSPORTATION AND DO A LOT OF TURNPIKES ODOT TYPE WORK AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND, UM, THESE GRAVEL PAVEMENTS ARE USED IN SEVERAL OTHER PLACES.
UH, THEY ARE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENTS.
THEY'RE VERY PERMANENT PAYMENT.
WE TRIED TO KEEP THE NATURAL LANDSCAPING WITH THE TREES AND EVERYTHING ELSE AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY COULD.
AND IT, IT, AND IT TURNED OUT PRETTY WELL CAUSE IT SAVED THEM, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL DOLLARS AND HAVE SOURCED CONSTRUCTION COSTS AS WELL.
UM, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF ANY OTHER STUFF HERE, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT IT.
I DUNNO IF THAT HELPED TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE, THE ROAD ROADWAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
UM, I BELIEVE WE MET IN 2019 WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WE PRESENTED THE UM, UH, GRAVEL PAVEMENT AT THAT TIME.
THEY ASKED FOR THE ENGINEER APPROVED, UM, DOCUMENTATION AND WE DID THAT.
I BELIEVE THAT WAS IN LATE 2020, SO I BELIEVE WE DID MEET WITH THEM AND AT THAT TIME THEY DID AGREE TO THE PAVEMENT.
SO TO JUST KIND OF GO A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO, INTO WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING WITH THIS TYPE OF CONDITION IN, WITH YOUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, DOES IT, IT DOES REQUIRE JUST THIS, THIS TYPE OF ROAD STILL REQUIRES ONGOING MAINTENANCE, RIGHT? IT DOES.
AND YEAH, IT WOULD, AND I WOULD PROBABLY RECOMMEND, I MEAN, IT IS, THE GOOD THING IS SPINNING OUT THERE FOUR YEARS AND IT'S BEEN COMPACTED, UM, ADDING GRAVEL EVERY NOW AND THEN TO, IT WILL DO NOTHING BUT INCREASE IT TO THE, TO CAPACITY OF IT.
YOU PUT THE IN SECTIONS IN THERE, THE PIPES AREN'T GONNA GO ANYWHERE.
UM, RIGHT NOW THERE ARE, THERE IS NO INSECTION IN THERE RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH, PUT THE PIPE IN, SECTIONS IN, THEY'RE BEING PUSHED UP A LITTLE BIT, SO THAT'LL LOCK 'EM INTO PLACE SO THEY WON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE AFTER THAT.
AND, UM, GRAVEL PAVEMENTS ARE USED, I MEAN, COUNTY ROADS EVERYWHERE.
THEY'VE BEEN IN PLACE FOR 5,000 YEARS.
UM, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP MAINTAINING 'EM AT A LITTLE GRAVEL WHEN NECESSARY, THEY CAN LAST A LONG TIME.
I THINK THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE GOING WITH A LOT OF THINGS IN OUR FUTURE.
UM, ANYBODY ELSE? IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE? THANK YOU, SIR.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE COMMENTS, CONCERNS? SEEING NONE.
COUNSEL, WE KNOW ON THIS SIDE, ON THIS SIDE.
ANY OTHER CONCERNS? I'M SATISFIED AS WELL.
AND I'M, CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE? I'LL SECOND.
