May 16, 2023 City Council Meeting

[INAUDIBLE] CALL THE MEETING THIS MORNING.

[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:06]

I'D LIKE TO ASK TROOP 394 TO JOIN US UP HERE ON THE PLATFORM AND LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE THIS EVENING.

[RECOGNITION]

GUYS, IF YOU WOULD, STAY RIGHT THERE FOR A MOMENT.

WE'RE GOING TO CALL ROLL AFTER WE RECOGNIZE OUR STAFF THIS EVENING.

JUST SO WHILE WE HAVE THEM UP FRONT HERE, DON'T HAVE TO RUN YOU BACK AND FORTH.

VERY SPECIAL OCCASION THIS EVENING.

AND I BROUGHT LOTS OF NOTES BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FEATS I THINK I'VE WITNESSED HERE AS THE MAYOR OR COUNCIL MEMBER IN MY 30 PLUS YEARS OF SERVING THE CITY OF LENEXA.

AND WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO RECOGNIZE BOY SCOUT ALEX WRIGHT AND JENNIFER HAS PLACED UP ON THE SCREEN SOME INFORMATION THAT I'LL READ A LITTLE BIT TO YOU.

TO YOU, IT'S NOT AS ORGANIZED AS IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE, AND HE'LL CORRECT ME ON THAT WHEN I MISS SOME THINGS.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THIS INTO THE RECORD.

AND JENNIFER, IF YOU WOULD, IN OUR MINUTES TONIGHT, PUT THE LINK TO THIS ARTICLE IN THE MINUTES SO PEOPLE THAT WANT TO READ AND GET MORE DETAIL, HAVE THAT AND WE CAN MEMORIALIZE TONIGHT'S RECOGNITION AND YOUR EFFORTS BECAUSE.

ALEX WRIGHT IS A SPECIAL YOUNG MAN, RIGHT.

17 WHEN THIS WAS WRITTEN, ARE YOU STILL 17 OR HAVE YOU REACHED STILL 17 YEARS OLD? ATTEND SAINT JAMES HIGH SCHOOL.

HE'S BEEN IN SCOUTING SINCE FIRST GRADE AS A MEMBER OF BOY SCOUT TROOP 394 AT GOOD SHEPHERD CATHOLIC SCHOOL JUST ACROSS THE BORDER.

BUT WE'RE RECOGNIZING NOW BECAUSE HE'S A LENEXA RESIDENT TONIGHT AND THESE GUYS AND IF YOU LOOK, SOME OF THEM ARE WELL ON THEIR WAY TO ACHIEVING SOME SIMILAR STATUS AND SOME ARE JUST GETTING STARTED.

BUT I'M SURE HE'S AN INSPIRATION TO YOU ON WHAT ALL CAN BE DONE.

AND WHAT ALEX HAS ACHIEVED IS 139 MERIT BADGES IN HIS QUEST FOR THE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT AND ALL PALMS ALONG THE WAY, HE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED WITH THE WILLIAM T HORNADAY AWARD, THE NATIONAL MERIT FOR OUTDOOR ACHIEVEMENT EIGHT STEM NOVA AWARDS, THE JIMMY STEWART GOOD CITIZENSHIP AWARD, THE LIGHT OF CHRIST PARVULA DAY AT ALTAIR DAY, LIGHT OF LIFE AND POPE PIUS THE 12TH OR SEVENTH EXCUSE ME, RELIGIOUS EMBLEMS AND DON BOSCO AWARD.

HE'S ALSO AN OUTDOOR ETHICS TRAINER AND HAS COMPLETED THE WILDERNESS FIRST AID COURT.

HE'S AN INTERNATIONAL MESSENGER OF PEACE.

AND I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES WHEN WE'RE DONE HERE.

I DIDN'T WARN HIM THAT PART OF THIS IS PARTICIPATION.

BUT AFTER 139 BADGES, I SUSPECT YOU'VE MADE A FEW PRESENTATIONS ALONG THE WAY AND ARE COMFORTABLE WITH PUBLIC SPEAKING.

HE'S ALSO AN I'M SORRY I DID THAT PART TO GIVE SOME ADDITIONAL INSIGHT ON THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

BOY SCOUTS REQUIRE 21 MERIT BADGES TO ACHIEVE EAGLE SCOUT 21 WE USUALLY CELEBRATE 21, MAYBE 22 WHEN WE HAVE THE EAGLE SCOUTS COME FORWARD AND BE PRESENTED.

REMEMBER, ALEX DID 139.

I'D SAY THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA CREDIT, RIGHT? ONLY 4% OF KIDS IN SCOUTING ACHIEVE THE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT.

IN 22, THERE WERE ONLY 56,841 EAGLE SCOUTS.

HOWEVER, I'VE GOT TO TURN THE PAGE.

LESS THAN 12 SCOUTS ACHIEVED THE WILLIAM T HORNADAY AWARD ANNUALLY, AND TO EARN ALL AVAILABLE BADGES OF THE AWARD IS EXTREMELY RARE EVENT.

I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME OUTSTANDING YOUNG MEN AND LADIES FOR GIRL SCOUTS BEFORE US IN THE EVENING, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING WITH QUITE THIS RECOGNITION AND THIS MUCH EFFORT.

AGAIN, I REFERENCED THE ARTICLE THAT DETAILS MORE OF THAT.

I HAVE TWO PRESENTATIONS THIS EVENING AND WE'LL START WITH ONE THAT WE RECEIVED JUST THIS EVENING.

AND SINCE WE RESPECT HIGHEST TO LOWEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, WE'LL START WITH AN ITEM.

WE RECEIVED A KANSAS SENATE TRIBUTE.

BE IT HEREBY KNOWN TO ALL THAT SINCERE CONGRATULATIONS ARE OFFERED TO ALEX WRIGHT IN RECOGNITION OF ACHIEVING THE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA TROOP 394 GOOD SHEPHERD SHAWNEE, KANSAS.

[00:05:03]

HE HAS EARNED 130 MERIT BADGES AND NUMEROUS OTHER AWARDS IN SCOUTING.

MOST WORTHWHILE GOALS IN LIFE REQUIRE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION.

YOUR MANY YEARS OF SCOUTING AND VOLUNTEERING IN OUR STATE, ALONG WITH YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, ARE RECOGNIZED THIS DAY AND WILL SERVE YOU WELL IN THE FUTURE.

YOUR TROOP, YOUR COMMUNITY AND THE STATE OF KANSAS ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

WELL DONE. AND IT IS SIGNED BY SENATOR MIKE THOMPSON FROM SHAWNEE.

SO I'M GOING TO WALK OVER HERE REAL QUICK AND PRESENT THIS TO YOU, AND WE'LL GET A PHOTO SO WE CAN SEND THAT BACK TO THE FOLKS IN TOPEKA.

AND YOU GET THIS, MIKE. EXCUSE ME FOR A SECOND.

DO THAT. AND THEN WE HAVE A. SORRY, GUYS.

I PUT YOU RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.

THEN WE HAVE A PRESENTATION, A CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION FOR ALEX WRIGHT, FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTS OF LEADERSHIP, SERVICE AND OUTDOOR SKILLS AND HEREBY EARNING THE RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT THE HIGHEST ADVANCEMENT OF RANK IN THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.

ALEX HAS EARNED 139 BADGES, RANK OF EAGLE SCOUT AND ALL PALMS, THE WILLIAM T HORNADAY AWARD, THE NATIONAL MERIT FOR OUTDOOR ACHIEVEMENT EIGHT STEM NOVA AWARDS, THE JIMMY STEWART GOOD CITIZENSHIP AWARD, THE LIGHT OF CHRIST AND OTHERS.

AS PREVIOUSLY READ AND THE DON BOSCO AWARD AND MICHAEL BOEHM, THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LENEXA, HEREBY RECOGNIZE ALEX FOR THESE OUTSTANDING ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

THANK HIM FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE'LL DO THAT ONE NOW.

THANK YOU. AND I WANT TO DO THIS. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO JUST MAKE A FEW OR MAKE A FEW COMMENTS ON YOUR JOURNEY AND WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO AFTER ALL.

I THINK IT'S ALL 139.

CORRECT. AND WHEN DID YOU START THAT JOURNEY? AND GIVE US JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND.

SO I WAS PRETTY YOUNG AND I LOOKED UP TO SOMEONE IN CUB SCOUTS WHO HAD A LOT OF JUST PATCHES ON HIS SHIRT.

HIS NAME WAS HARRY WALD.

AND WHEN I CROSSED OVER INTO THE TROOP WITH HIM, HE LOOKED LIKE HE HAD A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON FOR HIM.

SO I WANTED TO DO WHAT HE DID JUST BETTER, BUT I COULDN'T REALLY DO EVERYTHING BY MYSELF. SO MY DAD DID A LOT OF THE EXTERIOR WORK, LIKE TAKING ME TO THESE CERTAIN PLACES JUST SO I COULD GO GET A MERIT BADGE AND PEOPLE WOULD THINK WE'RE CRAZY FOR IT.

BUT NOW I'M STANDING HERE.

SO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE YOUR DAD? MY DAD IS SITTING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

HIS NAME IS DAN.

AND JUST FOR THE RECORD, HIS NAME IS DAN, NOT DAD.

RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HEARD THAT CORRECTLY IN YOUR TROOP.

THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT TO SUPPORT ALEX AS WELL.

SO GIVE YOU THAT AND CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU. YOU ALL CAN BE SEATED.

OR IF YOU NEED TO GO ON TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR BUSY LIFE, GO AHEAD.

JENNIFER, WOULD YOU CALL ROLL, PLEASE? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

AND WE HAVE THE MINUTES FROM THE MAY 2ND COUNCIL MEETING FOR APPROVAL.

[APPROVE MINUTES]

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE.

OPPOSED. MINUTES ARE CARRIED.

AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE KATIE MANGELSDORF FORWARD.

[PROCLAMATIONS]

SO YOU KNOW THE ROUTINE, RIGHT? YES. THIS ONE'S ON.

WHEREAS EVERY DAY, MORE THAN 120 AMERICANS ARE KILLED BY GUN VIOLENCE.

AND ON AVERAGE, THERE ARE MORE THAN 17,000 GUN HOMICIDES EVERY YEAR.

AND. WHEREAS, KANSAS HAS 456 GUN DEATHS EVERY YEAR, WITH A RATE OF 15.7 DEATHS PER 100,000 PEOPLE.

KANSAS HAS THE 21ST HIGHEST RATE OF GUN DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND. WHEREAS, SUPPORT FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS FOR LAW ABIDING CITIZENS GOES HAND IN HAND WITH KEEPING GUNS AWAY FROM PEOPLE IN DANGEROUS AND WITH DANGEROUS HISTORIES.

AND. WHEREAS, ON JUNE 2ND, 2023 PEOPLE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES WILL RECOGNIZE AND RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE ON NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY.

AND. WHEREAS, IN TRIBUTE TO HADIYA PENDLETON, WHO WAS TRAGICALLY SHOT AND KILLED AT AGE 15, A GROUP OF HER FRIENDS DECIDED TO COMMEMORATE HER LIFE BY WEARING

[00:10:04]

AND. WHEREAS, WEARING ORANGE HONORS HADIYA, AS WELL AS ALL VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE AND THE LOVED ONES OF THE VICTIMS. AND. WHEREAS, WE RENEW OUR COMMITMENT TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE AND PLEDGE TO DO SO, ALL THAT WE CAN DO TO KEEP FIREARMS, FIREARMS OUT OF THE WRONG HANDS AND ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP TO HELP KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE.

AND NOW, THEREFORE, I, MICHAEL BOEHM, THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LENEXA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM JUNE 2ND, 2023, IN THE CITY OF LENEXA AS NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY.

AND I KNOW YOU KNOW. THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS KATIE MANGELSDORF.

I'M A WARD ONE LENEXA RESIDENT.

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE TO BE HERE FOR MY FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW.

ACCEPTING THE PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY IN LENEXA ORANGE IS THE COLOR THAT HADIYA PENDLETON'S FRIENDS WORE IN HER HONOR WHEN SHE WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN CHICAGO AT THE AGE OF 15, JUST ONE WEEK AFTER PERFORMING AT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SECOND INAUGURAL PARADE IN 2013.

AFTER HER DEATH, HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY ASKED US TO STAND UP, SPEAK OUT AND WEAR ORANGE TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE.

WEAR ORANGE OFFICIALLY BEGAN ON JUNE 2ND, 2015 ON WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HADIYA'S 18TH BIRTHDAY.

SINCE THEN, ORANGE HAS BEEN THE DEFINING COLOR OF THE GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION MOVEMENT.

WHEREVER IT'S WORN, THE COLOR ORANGE HONORS, THE MORE THAN 120 LIVES ENDED IN THE MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE WOUNDED BY GUN VIOLENCE EVERY DAY IN THIS COUNTRY.

NOW, YEARS LATER, AND ESPECIALLY AFTER MASS SHOOTINGS AT SANDY HOOK AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PLACES, LAS VEGAS, PARKLAND, EL PASO, UVALDE, ALLEN, TEXAS, AND ON AND ON, THE COMMON SENSE GUN SAFETY MOVEMENT IN AMERICA HAS GROWN TO NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS WITH MILLIONS OF VOLUNTEERS.

OUR FOCUS IS NOT ONLY ON THE MASS SHOOTINGS EXPERIENCED EVERYWHERE IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT ALSO ON DAILY GUN VIOLENCE THAT TEARS APART FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.

IN FACT, HERE IN KANSAS, 68% OF GUN DEATHS ARE SUICIDES.

THESE ARE COMPLEX PROBLEMS WITH NO SINGLE SIMPLE ANSWER, BUT SHINING A LIGHT ON THE WORK BEING DONE TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

THANK YOU FOR DESIGNATING NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY IN LENEXA ON FRIDAY, JUNE 2ND, AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN ORANGE.

DENISE, YOUR BRIGHT ONES.

COME ON UP AND JOIN US.

BUT YOU.

THE NEXT ITEM. THE NEXT ITEM NOT ON YOUR AGENDA, BUT WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS EVENING.

[Additional Item]

WE HAVE SUCH A VACANCY RIGHT NOW ON OUR BUILDING CODE OF APPEALS BOARD IN MY 90 DAYS HAS ELAPSED OR WILL AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AND I HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS AND A BROAD INTEREST OF APPLICANTS AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO HAVE SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS FOR EACH OF THOSE POSITIONS RATHER THAN RESIDENT OF THE COMMUNITY OR A MEMBER.

AND I'M LOOKING FOR AN HVAC EXPERT EXPERT TO ADD TO THAT BOARD SINCE WE HAD A RESIGNATION AT THE FULL TERM. SO MY CODE, I NEED TO REQUEST A 60 DAY EXTENSION WHICH WILL JENNIFER WILL PUT IN THE ACTUAL MINUTES, BUT I THINK IT'S FROM THE END OF THIS MONTH FOR 60 DAYS TO FULFILL THAT REQUIREMENT.

SO I NEED SUCH A MOTION.

SECOND MOTION BY BILL.

SECOND BY DAN ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL ANY MODIFICATIONS THIS EVENING? NONE THIS EVENING. THANK YOU.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO CONSENT AGENDA WHICH ARE ITEMS ONE THROUGH 13.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

[00:15:05]

IF A MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY OR AUDIENCE DESIRES SEPARATE DISCUSSION ON AN ITEM, THAT ITEM MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON THE REGULAR AGENDA.

MELANIE MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO EXCUSE MYSELF FROM ITEM NUMBER 12 AS IT IS A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? SINCE THIS IS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY WHILE WE VOTE.

JOE, I KNOW YOU ALSO DESIRE TO PULL THIS OFF FOR A DIFFERENT REASON, SO IF YOU WOULD SPEAK AT THIS TIME, DO WE WANT TO DO THE REST OF THE AGENDA FIRST? THAT'S FINE.

ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ONE THROUGH 13 LESS 12.

MOTION BY DAN SECOND BY JULIE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED. ITEM NUMBER 12 IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZED THE EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT WITH COMSAT CORPORATION FOR THE PROVISION OF AN EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE

[12. Resolution approving and authorizing the execution of an agreement with ComPsych Corporation for the provision of an employee assistance program and related behavioral health services to the City's employees and dependents]

JOE. YES, THANK YOU, MAYOR.

I JUST WANT TO COMMEND THE CITY FOR FOR THIS.

IT'S A SMALL DOLLAR AMOUNT, $82,000.

BUT I BELIEVE SO STRONGLY IN STRONG MENTAL HEALTH FOR OUR COMMUNITIES AND IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES. SO I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY WORTHY OF PULLING OFF THE CONSENT AGENDA AND JUST THANKING YOU AND LETTING IT BE KNOWN THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THE CITY TAKES SERIOUSLY.

AND I WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE THIS.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS? THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE CONSENT.

ITEM NUMBER 12.

MOTION BY TOM.

SECOND BY BILL. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? RECORD REFLECT.

MELANIE ABSTAINED ON THAT.

ITEM NUMBER 14 IS AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 41B 24, 43 B 7 AND 43B 24 OF THE CITY CODE RELATED TO REGULATIONS FOR FENCES, WALLS

[14. Ordinance amending Sections 4-1-B-24, 4-3-B-7, and 4-3-B-24 of the City Code related to regulations for fences, walls, and retaining walls]

STEPHANIE. POINT HERE VERY QUICKLY.

ALL RIGHT. AND THIS IS STEPHANIE KESSLER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

AND I WILL KEEP THIS BRIEF BECAUSE I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS QUITE A BIT LAST MONTH.

SO THIS IS A CODE AMENDMENT TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OR UDC, AS WE CALL IT, FOR FENCES, WALLS AND RETAINING WALLS AND ALL CODES RELATED TO THOSE THREE ITEMS. AS YOU KNOW FROM OUR LAST MEETING, STAFF DID REVISE THIS ENTIRE CODE SECTION.

AND THE GOALS ARE REALLY TO CLARIFY THE CODE REQUIREMENTS, ADD SOME NEW CODE FOR ASPECTS THAT WE REVIEW AS A MATTER OF PRACTICE AND LOOK AT DEFINITIONS AND RELAX THE CODE IN SOME WAYS TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF REQUESTS WE HAVE FOR VARIANCES AND DEVIATIONS.

ONE OF THE MAIN TOPICS THAT WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME AND THAT WE'VE WORKED ON THROUGHOUT THIS CODE UPDATE IS FENCES ON CORNER LOTS.

SO I KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ALL WAITING FOR TONIGHT.

THERE ARE SOME NEW REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO FENCES WITH RETAINING WALLS, AND I'LL SHOW YOU A GRAPHIC ON THAT FROM LAST TIME AS WELL.

TEARING RETAINING WALLS JUST OF NOTE HERE.

RETAINING WALLS ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED TO TEN FEET PER YEAR NOW.

AND THERE IS A PROCESS REVISION IN THIS UPDATE AS WELL, HAVING TO DO WITH THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS BEING THE APPEAL BODY INSTEAD OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AS CURRENT CODE REQUIRES.

AND WE'RE HOPING THAT A NEW TABLE IN THIS CODE WILL BE EASIER FOR ALL TO UNDERSTAND.

ALL RIGHT. CORNER LOT FENCES.

YOU'LL SEE HERE WE HAVE SOME NEW GRAPHICS IN THE CODE, THE ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN THAT SAYS CURRENT CODE IS ONE YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN IN OUR LAST ITERATION OF THIS PRESENTATION AND DRAFT CODE SHOWING WHAT THE CURRENT CODE ALLOWS FOR A CORNER LOT.

YOU'LL SEE THAT 25 FOOT MEASUREMENT THERE IN THAT GRAPHIC IS THE 25 FOOT SETBACK FROM A PROPERTY LINE AND WHAT WE CALL THE STREET SIDE SIDE YARD OR THE SIDE YARD THAT FACES THE SECONDARY STREET.

AND THEN THE PROPOSED CODE IMAGE YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS WHERE A FENCE THAT IS FOUR FEET TALL AND OPEN STYLE WOULD BE ALLOWED AT A 15 FOOT SETBACK. SO THAT WAS THE MAIN POINT OF THE DISCUSSION LAST TIME.

AND THE DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL TO STAFF IS THAT IF IT'S FOUR FEET TALL AND OPEN STYLE, IT'S ALLOWED AT THAT 15 FOOT SETBACK.

HERE'S A LARGER VERSION OF THAT.

AND I WANTED TO CLARIFY WITH THESE TWO GRAPHICS, THESE ARE BOTH IN THE CODE FOR REFERENCE TO SHOW BASICALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN THAT SAME IMAGE WHERE THE FOUR FOOT

[00:20:06]

AND THEN WHEN YOU HAVE THE PRIVACY FENCE OR SOMETHING TALLER THAN FOUR FOOT THAT'S OPEN STYLE, IT CAN GO AT THAT 20 FOOT SIDE STREET SETBACK. AND THIS IS SHOWING TYPICAL DIMENSIONS AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR R-1 TYPE ZONING.

SO WE DO HAVE OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS WITH DIFFERENT DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS AND SETBACK STANDARDS.

AND I ALSO SET THE HOME BACK A FEW FEET FROM THAT 20 FOOT SETBACK REQUIREMENT.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S STILL SPACE POTENTIALLY FOR TRASH ENCLOSURE TYPE AREA BEHIND THE FENCE BECAUSE THAT WAS MENTIONED AS WELL.

SO IT'S NOT JUST ALIGNING WITH WHERE THE HOME SITS ON THE PROPERTY.

IT CAN GO OUT TO THAT STREET SIDE SETBACK THAT YOU SEE IN ORANGE ON THIS GRAPHIC.

I'LL PAUSE HERE IN CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, BECAUSE THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION ALL AT ONCE.

JULIE, DIDN'T WE ALSO TALK AT SOME LENGTH ABOUT WHERE THE EACH STYLE COULD CONNECT TO THE HOME? THIS IS BOTH SHOWING AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, SO MY INTERPRETATION OF THE DISCUSSION LAST TIME WAS THAT AS LONG AS IT WAS OPEN STYLE, IT WAS OKAY TO HAVE IT AT THE FRONT OF THE HOME.

RIGHT NOW THIS IS KIND OF A MIX BECAUSE WE CURRENTLY DO ALLOW THE FENCES TO COME TO THAT FRONT OF THE HOME.

AND WE DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO CREATE NONCONFORMITIES AND THERE WAS CONCERN WITH IF SOMEONE HAS THEIR TRASH CANS OUTSIDE, CAN WE STILL HAVE THEM SCREENED THAT WITH A FENCE? SO THAT'S WHY WE OPTED TO LEAVE IT LIKE YOU SEE IN THE GRAPHICS HERE.

OKAY. AND THESE ARE BOTH OPEN STYLE CLOSED OR TALLER THAN FOUR FEET.

IS THERE A GRAPHIC IN THE OR IS THAT THE CURRENT CODE OR ARE WE CHANGING THAT? OR YOU SEE ON THE LEFT IS A PRIVACY STYLE FENCE, AN OPEN STYLE FENCE THAT'S GREATER THAN FOUR FEET TALL OR A WALL? IF SOMEONE WERE TO BUILD A WALL INSTEAD OF A MAYOR.

GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT IS ONLY A FOUR FOOT TALL, OPEN STYLE FENCE.

I MAY INTERJECT THE GRAPHIC ON THE LEFT IS THE CURRENT CODE.

WHAT'S ALLOWED TODAY? WHAT'S BEEN DEVELOPED PER THE CURRENT CODE.

SO AFTER THE DISCUSSION WE TOOK AWAY DON'T CHANGE WHERE PRIVACY FENCES COULD LOCATE ON THE SETBACK AND COME UP TO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

REALLY, THE ONLY RELIEF WE'RE GIVING HERE IS FOR A FIVE FOOT REDUCTION IN SIDE YARD, STREET SIDE, SETBACK FOR OPEN STYLE, FOUR FEET TALL FENCE. OTHERWISE, THE CODE DOESN'T CHANGE IN TERMS OF CORNER LOT FENCING.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL FOR CORNER FENCES.

SO A COUPLE MORE THINGS HERE JUST TO SHOW YOU THIS IMAGE ONE MORE TIME.

THIS WAS DEALING WITH THE RETAINING WALL AND FENCE REQUIREMENTS.

SO THERE IS A TEN FOOT MAXIMUM BETWEEN THE TEAR OF A RETAINING WALL AND THE FENCE ALLOWED ON TOP.

SO HOWEVER YOU SPIN IT, IF IT'S A FOUR FOOT TALL FENCE, SIX FOOT TALL RETAINING WALL, FIVE FEET AND FIVE FEET, THE LIMITS TEN FEET.

FOR THIS, HOWEVER, THE RETAINING WALL COULD HAVE EXTRA TIERS, BUT THERE WOULD BE A 36 INCH DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TIERS AS THEY GO DOWNWARD.

BUT THAT TOP TIER WOULD BE LIMITED TO TEN FEET TOTAL BETWEEN THE RETAINING WALL AND THE FENCE, AS YOU SEE HERE.

DOES THIS ADDRESS THE GENTLEMAN WHO HAD THE 25 FOOT RETAINING WALL OVER A CLIFF WITH A NEED FOR A FENCE ON TOP THAT WAS PRESENT? IT WOULDN'T ADDRESS THAT SPECIFIC SITUATION.

THAT WOULD BE A GREAT SITUATION TO COME IN AND ASK FOR A VARIANCE OR DEVIATION.

AND THAT WOULD GO THROUGH OUR BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.

AND MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT FURTHER AND BE ABLE TO DISCERN WHETHER THAT WOULD BE A GOOD CANDIDATE TO GRANT A DEVIATION. I MENTIONED A PROCESS CHANGE, AND REALLY THE ONLY THING HERE IN THE PROCESS THAT'S CHANGING IS WITH THE APPEAL BOX THAT YOU SEE IN RED.

INSTEAD OF THIS TYPE OF APPEAL GOING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IT WOULD GO TO THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.

HERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF THE NEW TABLE OF REGULATIONS, WHICH I KNOW YOU CAN'T READ ON THIS SCREEN, BUT WE WANTED TO PUT THIS ON THERE SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO REGULATE THINGS CLEARLY AND EASILY.

THERE ARE SOME FOOTNOTES BECAUSE WE COULDN'T FIT QUITE EVERYTHING IN THIS NICE BOX, BUT I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, THIS SHOULD BE EASIER FOR STAFF TO ADMINISTRATE AND FOR RESIDENTS AND CONTRACTORS TO UNDERSTAND.

AND THE STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS TEXT AMENDMENT AS YOU SAW IN YOUR PACKET THIS EVENING.

AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR YOU ON THIS TOPIC TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE COURTNEY.

[00:25:04]

CURRENTLY, IT WOULD GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND IF THEY WERE DENIED, WAS THERE ANOTHER PROCESS FOR THEM AT THAT POINT TO GO TO THE ZONING BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS, OR IS IT JUST DONE? IT'S JUST DONE AFTER IT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE APPEAL? OKAY. AT WHAT IS CURRENTLY THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WHAT WE WILL HAVE AS THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.

OKAY. SO I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR.

IF WE WERE ELIMINATING A DIFFERENT APPEAL PROCESS AND SO IF THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT'S DONE IS FINE.

YEAH. RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST BASED OFF OF STAFF'S DETERMINATION ADMINISTRATIVELY.

SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY APPEALING STAFF'S DECISION TO THE BCA.

GOT IT. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? WE HAVE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL FROM JULIE SECOND BY DAN.

ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED ORDINANCE IS APPROVED.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER 15 IS APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR AN ACCESSORY OFFICE BUILDING FOR WEST FAMILY CHURCH LOCATED AT 8500 WATSONIA DRIVE IN THE R-1

[15. Approval of a preliminary plan for an accessory office building for Westside Family Church located at 8500 Woodsonia Drive in the R-1 Residential Single-Family Zoning District]

STEPHANIE THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAN REQUEST FOR WEST SIDE FAMILY CHURCH'S CARE CENTER BUILDING AT 8500 WATSONIA DRIVE.

HERE IS A WIDE RANGE PROJECT, LOCATION, MAP.

AND ZOOMING INTO THE SITE, YOU CAN SEE HERE'S A SOUTH OF 83RD STREET AND JUST WEST OF WATSONIA, SORT OF BETWEEN WATSONIA AND K-10.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE RED LINE, AND THIS IS JUST SOUTH OF THE EXISTING CHURCH AND CHURCH PARKING LOT.

ON THE SCREEN NOW YOU CAN SEE THE ZONING MAP AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THE SITE IS ZONED R1 AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THIS AS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE.

AS SEEN IN GREEN, THERE'S VARIOUS OTHER ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USES IDENTIFIED AROUND THE PROPERTY.

ZONING WISE, WE DO HAVE COMMERCIAL IN THE RED TO THE NORTH, AGRICULTURAL TO THE EAST IN GREEN AND VARIOUS DENSITIES OF RESIDENTIAL IN THE YELLOW AND BROWNS TO THE SOUTH.

ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THERE IS AN OFFICE DESIGNATION TO THE SOUTH AND MEDIUM AND LOW DENSITY AND SUBURBAN DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO THE EAST.

COMMUNITY RETAIL TO THE NORTH AND SOME MORE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE TO THE NORTHEAST.

THE MORE DETAILED SUBJECT SITE IS SHOWN HERE, OUTLINED IN RED.

WE WANTED THE APPLICANT TO SHOW AN OVERALL SITE PLAN OF HOW THAT ENTIRE SOUTH PARCEL COULD POSSIBLY DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE.

BUT I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT APPROVING ANY SORT OF PLAN FOR THE AREA THAT IS DASHED IN THAT SOUTH PARCEL.

WE'RE ONLY LOOKING AT APPROVING WHAT IS WITHIN THE RED BOUNDARIES YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN TONIGHT AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THIS BUILDING.

AS MENTIONED, THIS IS AN ACCESSORY OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH I KNOW IS A STRANGE IDEA.

HOWEVER, WE WANTED TO NOTE THAT THE OFFICE BUILDING IS ACCESSORY TO THE PRINCIPAL USE OF THE CHURCH ON THE SITE.

CHURCHES ARE ALLOWED IN THE R-1 ZONING DISTRICT AND OFFICES ARE TYPICALLY NOT ALLOWED IN R-1.

HOWEVER, SINCE IT'S ACCESSORY TO THE CHURCH, IT IS ALLOWED IN THE FUTURE.

IF THE CHURCH WERE TO SELL OFF THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING OR THE CHURCH ITSELF WERE TO REDEVELOP IN SOME FASHION, THE SITE WOULD HAVE TO BE REZONED TO ACCOMMODATE OFFICE TYPE ZONING. SO THEY COULDN'T JUST USE AN OFFICE FOR SOME REGULAR DENTIST OR BUSINESS.

IF IT WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHURCH.

NOW YOU CAN SEE THE SITE PLAN OVERLAID ON AN AERIAL IMAGE FOR SOME MORE CONTEXT.

THERE WOULD BE A PORTION OF WATSONIA THAT WOULD CONNECT TO THE SOUTH PART OF THAT ROUNDABOUT AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.

THEY WILL HAVE TO MAKE A CONNECTION IN ORDER TO HAVE THAT SOUTH CURB CUT ON THEIR SITE JUST SOUTH OF THEIR PROPOSED BUILDING.

THE PROPOSED BUILDING IS TWO STORIES IN APPROXIMATELY 20,000FT², AND IT WILL BE HOME TO COUNSELING ROOMS, MEETING ROOMS, PLAY ROOMS AND OTHER SERVICES AS PART OF THE CARE CENTER THAT WILL BE FOCUSED TOWARD THE CONGREGATION.

THEY WILL BE ADDING SOME SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS AS WELL.

YOU CAN SEE THOSE IN RED.

THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT IS IN LIGHT BROWN IN THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE.

SO THE SIDEWALK WILL CONNECT OUT TO WOODS.

SONIA AND THEN ALSO THROUGH THE PARKING LOT TOWARD THE MAIN CHURCH FACILITY.

THIS IS A LANDSCAPE PLAN SHOWING NEW TREES AND PLANTINGS.

THIS IS NOT IN FULL DETAIL QUITE YET BECAUSE THIS IS STILL PRELIMINARY STAGE, BUT THE APPLICANT IS WORKING ON A FULL LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THEIR FUTURE SUBMITTAL.

[00:30:04]

THE CARE CENTER BUILDING WILL TAKE A LOT OF ARCHITECTURAL CUES OFF OF THIS BUILDING, AND THE PROPOSED MATERIALS ARE ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.

THE MATERIALS INCLUDE BRICK VENEER IN A COUPLE DIFFERENT COLORS, STONE VENEER AND ALUMINUM AND STUCCO AS ACCENTS.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE ELEVATIONS.

AND AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A TWO STORY STRUCTURE.

AND ONCE WE GET TO FINAL PLAN STAGE, WE'LL SEE SOME MORE COLORED TYPE ELEVATIONS AND GET A BETTER IDEA OF THAT FULLY DEVELOPED DESIGN.

BUT IT DOES TAKE ON A LOT OF THOSE.

I SAID ARCHITECTURAL CUES FROM THE MAIN BUILDING.

AND WITH THAT, STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE ACCESSORY OFFICE BUILDING KNOWN AS THE CARE CENTER FOR WEST SIDE FAMILY CHURCH. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANKS, STEPHANIE.

THE APPLICANT HERE, OUR REPRESENTATIVE THIS EVENING.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY REMARKS? GREAT JOB. OKAY.

I'M GOING TO ASK THAT QUESTION.

TAKE MY MAYOR HAT OFF AND JUST BE A PEOPLE.

YOU'RE PUTTING THE BUILDING, QUOTE UNQUOTE, WAY OUT ON THE STREET, AWAY FROM YOUR SANCTUARY AND OTHER OFFICE OR OTHER SERVICES.

I'M JUST CURIOUS WHAT THE THOUGHT IS OR WHAT'S COMING IN A FUTURE PHASE THAT WAS THE QUESTION.

SURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JEFF MANFORD, ONE OF THE PASTORS AT WEST SIDE.

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S VERY UNIQUE THAT THERE'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, A GUN THING HERE AND IN THE SCOUTS.

BUT OBVIOUSLY OUR COMMUNITY HAS GONE THROUGH SOME CONSIDERABLE SHAKING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

I THINK WE'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THIS AS WELL.

WE'VE SEEN A TREMENDOUS SURGE IN THE NEED FOR JUST CARE AND SUPPORT WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND SO WE WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE THROUGH.

ACTUALLY, CARNIVOROUS IS HERE.

SHE'S OUR COUNSELING DIRECTOR.

WE'VE PROVIDED OVER CLOSE TO 5000 HOURS OF SESSION HOURS IN 2022.

AND SO WE'VE JUST SEEN A TREMENDOUS SURGE IN THE NEED FOR CARE IN REGARDS TO COUNSELING.

WE ALSO HAVE NOT JUST PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS, BUT ALSO CARE GROUPS, GRIEF SHARE, ADDICTION, RECOVERY, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

AND THOSE THINGS ARE CONTINUING TO BE ON THE RISE.

AND WE'VE JUST SEEN TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN THAT AREA WITHIN OUR CHURCH.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANTED TO DO WAS KIND OF SO WE'RE ALREADY DOING THAT WITHIN OUR EXISTING BUILDING THAT YOU'VE SEEN.

NOW WE'RE WANTING TO KIND OF LIFT THAT OUT, PUT IT INTO ITS OWN BUILDING SO IT CAN HAVE ITS OWN FOCUS, CONTINUE TO DO THINGS OBVIOUSLY IN WEST SIDE FAMILY CHURCH AS WELL.

SO AND I THINK WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE THIS COMMUNITY FACING SOMETIMES PEOPLE STRUGGLE GOING ON TO A CHURCH PROPERTY IF WE'RE BEING HONEST.

AND BUT THEY MIGHT BE MORE APT TO GO INTO A CARE CENTER.

AND SO OUR HOPE IS THAT WE CAN TAKE SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY GROWING AND HAVING TREMENDOUS EFFECT ON THE COMMUNITY, PUT THAT INTO ITS OWN SEPARATE BUILDING, HAVE ITS OWN FOCUS. AND THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO MENTION, IT'S NOT JUST FOR HEALING, IT'S ALSO FOR HEALTH.

OUR ANTICIPATION IS WE WOULD USE THE EVENINGS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THINGS LIKE FINANCIAL PEACE, PREMARITAL COUNSELING, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

AND NOT JUST FOR LENEXA RESIDENTS OR NOT JUST FOR WEST SIDERS, BUT LENEXA RESIDENTS, OBVIOUSLY COMMUNITIES AROUND.

SO GREAT.

THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, DAN? THANK YOU, MAYOR, JUST A QUICK CLARIFICATION.

I SAW ON THE NOTES THAT THERE WAS A QUESTION AROUND THE HEIGHT OF 35FT.

DID YOU GET A CLOSURE? ARE WE 35? AND HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO THE EXISTING FACILITY? YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

THE HEIGHT OF THE EXISTING FACILITY OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I CAN SAY I LOOKED AT THE CODE THE NEXT DAY FOLLOWING THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND I CLARIFIED THAT A PLACE OF WORSHIP, MUCH LIKE A SCHOOL AS WELL, THEY ACTUALLY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE SAME HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS.

SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT, BUT I DON'T SEE ANY NEED FOR A DEVIATION OR AN ISSUE WITH THE HEIGHT AS PROPOSED.

GREAT. THANK YOU, BILL.

YES, STEPHANIE, THERE'S A DRIVEWAY INTO THE PARKING LOT SOUTH OF THE ROUNDABOUT.

WILL THEY BUILD THE STREET SOUTH OF THAT ENTRYWAY ALL THE WAY TO THE PROPERTY LINE? SO THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S UNDER DISCUSSION.

THERE ARE SOME NEGOTIATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS GOING ON, I BELIEVE, WITH THE CHURCH AND WITH PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE SOUTH AND WHO WILL BE CONSTRUCTING THAT. WE DO HAVE PERMITS FOR THAT AT THIS TIME, AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE JUST IN PROCESS.

SO I THINK THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS YES, THAT IS A REQUIREMENT OF THIS.

IT'S TYPICALLY THE DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE INFRASTRUCTURE ALONG THEIR FRONTAGE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THEIR PROPERTY LINE.

SO THAT'S THAT'S A REQUIREMENT OF THIS PROJECT NOW THAT THEY'VE CROSSED SOUTH OF THAT OF THAT INTO THIS PARCEL.

ANYONE ELSE? MELANIE.

THIS WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE PASTOR OR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

BUT I WANTED TO START OFF, FIRST OF ALL, WITH A COMMENT.

[00:35:03]

I WOULD AGREE THAT MEETING THE LENEXA BASIC NEEDS AND I'M SURE SOME OF THESE SERVICES WOULD BE OPEN TO PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE OF LENEXA.

YEAH, BUT MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY IS INCREDIBLE.

I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF YES, LIKE MENTAL HEALTH AND COUNSELING.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE LIKE AFFORDABLE DAYCARE OR COUNSELING OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE PROGRAMS, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HELP PEOPLE'S MENTAL HEALTH.

SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE MEETING THAT NEED.

I AM A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT NOT CONCERNED.

THAT'S I THINK WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS I JUST WANTED TO VERIFY THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE NO INTENTION OF OFFERING CONVERSION THERAPY.

THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

THERE IS KARLIN. YOU COME TO THE MICROPHONE? YEAH. THANK YOU.

AND SOME BACKGROUND FOR EVERYONE HERE OF WHY MAY BE ASKING.

THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE THAT'S BEEN GAINING TRACTION IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PROFESSIONAL BOARDS SUCH AS THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, AND MANY MORE THAT I WILL NEVER FINISH THAT CONDONE THIS PRACTICE.

I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH YOUR CHURCH, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

BUT ANYTIME I WOULD LOVE TO COME OVER AND LIKE VISIT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY, BUT I JUST FELT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ASK ABOUT THAT.

I DO. I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK.

I AGREE WITH YOU. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT ALL OF OUR COUNSELORS ON STAFF ARE LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS IN THE STATE OF KANSAS.

SOME ARE ALSO LICENSED IN MISSOURI.

AS THAT WE FALL UNDER THE ACA CODE OF ETHICS, WHICH OBVIOUSLY ALIGNS WITH EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO WE WOULD NOT BE OFFERING ANY TYPE OF CONVERSION THERAPY BASED ON THE RESEARCH AROUND THAT AND HOW IT CAN BE DAMAGING TO INDIVIDUALS WHO UNDERGO THAT.

THANK YOU. THAT MAKES ME FEEL VERY SAFE AND COMFORTABLE AS A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL MYSELF, IF I EVER FELT LIKE I WANTED TO MAKE REFERRALS, I ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW WHERE I'M SENDING THEM.

YES. YES. TO ADDRESS THE AFFORDABILITY PIECE.

WE ARE A FEE BASED, SO.

BUT IT IS INCONVENIENT.

SO EVERYTHING IS AFFORDABLE.

WE WANT TO DECREASE STIGMA AND INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY.

OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU. YES.

MY NAME IS CONNIE HOROSZ.

DO YOU WANT ME TO SPELL IT? H O R O S Z.

THANK YOU. YES. THANK YOU BOTH.

ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR WEST SIDE FAMILY CHURCH.

MOTION BY JOE SECOND.

SECOND BY CRAIG.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

OPPOSED. THE MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU ALL. ITEM NUMBER 16 IS AN APPROVAL OF A FINAL PLAN FOR A MIXED USE BUILDING WITH HOTEL AND RETAIL SPACE KNOWN AS MIDAS LENEXA CITY CENTER ON

[16. Approval of a final plan for a mixed-use building with hotel and retail space known as Midas Lenexa City Center on 87th Street Parkway between Elmridge Street and Penrose Lane in the CC, Planned City Center Zoning District]

STEPHANIE, THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

STEPHANIE KESSLER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

AND TONIGHT WE HAVE THE FINAL PLAN FOR THE MIDAS CITY CENTER PROJECT.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS LOCATED ON THE PARCEL JUST NORTH OF CITY HALL HERE.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE AERIAL IMAGE, THE BUILDING WE ARE IN IS JUST SOUTH OF THIS WITH THE ROUND SPACE.

AND THIS IS BETWEEN ELM RIDGE AND PENROSE AND THE NORTH AND SOUTH VERSIONS OF 87TH STREET HERE IN CITY CENTER. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED CITY CENTER OR CC IN THE PINK.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE SITE PLAN.

THIS DOES INCLUDE TWO HOTELS, AN AC HOTEL AND A RESIDENCE INN HOTEL, ALONG WITH RETAIL SPACE AND A PARKING GARAGE.

AND TONIGHT, WE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE LOOKING AT TWO VERSIONS OF THE SITE, PLAN.

ONE, WITH THE PROPOSED, I BELIEVE, FIVE LEVELS OF PARKING AND AN ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF PARKING AS WELL AS AN OPTION.

SO I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IN A LITTLE BIT.

THE BUILDING IS APPROXIMATELY 80,000FT² AND FIVE STORIES TALL.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SITE PLAN HERE, THE HOTELS WRAP THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST SIDE ALONG PENROSE, AND THEN THE RETAIL IS MORE SO ON THE WEST SIDE. THE PARKING GARAGES ACCESSED FROM ELMWOOD STREET ON THE WEST SIDE AS WELL.

SO AS DISCUSSED, THERE IS A PARKING DECK AND AS PROPOSED THERE WILL BE 284 PARKING SPACES AND THE DEVELOPER

[00:40:02]

SO THERE WOULD BE, I THINK, APPROXIMATELY 70 MORE SPACES THERE TOTALING JUST ABOUT 360 SPACES IN THE DECK.

SO THAT ADDITIONAL LEVEL WOULD BE PUBLIC PARKING THAT WOULD ADD TO THE PARKING AVAILABLE IN THE CITY CENTER AREA.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

AND I WILL NOTE THAT SINCE YOU HEARD THIS AT PRELIMINARY STAGE, THE APPLICANT HAS REFINED THE PLANS FOR THE PEDESTRIAN AMENITY ZONES AND THE LANDSCAPING AND ALL OF THOSE OUTSTANDING ITEMS FROM BEFORE ARE CLEARED UP.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THERE ARE NO DEVIATION REQUESTS AND NO OUTSTANDING ITEMS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR STAFF HAD FOR THE APPLICANT.

WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE ARCHITECTURE AS WELL.

AND THERE'S REALLY JUST SOME MINOR TWEAKS FROM THE PRELIMINARY STAGE TO WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE.

AND THOSE TWEAKS ARE MAINLY ON THE WEST SIDE FACING THE AQUATIC CENTER.

WHICH I'LL SHOW YOU IN JUST A SECOND HERE.

SO THIS IS THAT WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHERE YOU ACCESS THE PARKING STRUCTURE.

AND THIS IS WHERE THE TRASH ENCLOSURE AREA IS LOCATED.

IF YOU RECALL, THERE WAS AN OUTSTANDING ITEM FOR THIS SIDE OF THE BUILDING RELATED TO JUST THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THAT TRASH AREA AND SORT OF BACK OF HOUSE OPERATIONS.

SO THEY DID ACTUALLY LOOK AROUND AT OTHER BUILDINGS IN CITY CENTER AND TOOK SOME CUES FROM THOSE BUILDINGS AND NOW HAVE THESE SORT OF GLASS GARAGE DOORS THAT WE SEE IN OTHER BUILDINGS IN CITY CENTER.

SO IT'LL LOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE TRANSPARENT AND LESS, YOU KNOW, DUMPSTER GARAGE, IF YOU WILL.

SO THEY'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE MORE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING.

AND THEY'VE ADDRESSED STAFF'S CONCERNS WITH THIS ITEM.

HERE ARE SOME IMAGES.

I HAVE ONE OTHER SLIDE THAT SHOWS THIS AS WELL.

BUT WITH THE ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF PARKING, YOU'LL SEE THE PARKING STRUCTURE DOES COME UP A LITTLE BIT TALLER THAN THE BUILDING JUST ON THAT RIGHT SIDE OF THE TOP IMAGE.

FOR PERSPECTIVE THERE, LET ME PUT MY MOUSE ON IT.

YOU CAN SEE BETTER JUST RIGHT HERE.

A LITTLE BIT TALLER, BUT NOTHING STANDING TOO OBSCENELY TALLER THAN THE REST OF THE BUILDING.

IT'LL STILL LOOK LIKE IT FITS PRETTY WELL WITH THE EXISTING ARCHITECTURE AND HEIGHTS OF OTHER BUILDINGS IN CITY CENTER.

AND HERE'S ONE OTHER VIEW OF IT.

LOOKING FROM THE SOUTH ELEVATION AND THE EAST ELEVATION.

SO AS I MENTIONED, STAFF IS PROPOSING THAT WE APPROVE BOTH VERSIONS OF THE PLAN SO THAT IF THEY DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT EXTRA LEVEL OF PARKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY, THE PROJECT WOULD NOT NEED TO COME BACK THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL PROCESS SO WE CAN EXPEDITE THAT MOVING FORWARD IN THE INTEREST OF ADDING PUBLIC PARKING IN THE FUTURE.

AND WITH THAT, STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS FINAL PLAN FOR THE MIDAS CITY CENTER PROJECT.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

QUESTIONS BEFORE WE HAVE AN APPLICANT OPPORTUNITY.

JULIE MINOR QUESTION.

WELL, THEY NEED TO CLOSE EITHER ELM RIDGE OR PENROSE FOR LAYDOWN SPACE DURING CONSTRUCTION.

NO TRAFFIC ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

I'M NOT SURE WE'VE GOT THAT FAR WITH THEM.

ON CONSTRUCTION PLANS.

WE'RE OBVIOUSLY DO OUR BEST TO KEEP TRAFFIC FLOWING THROUGH AND AROUND CITY CENTER.

OKAY, DAN.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. STEPHANIE SO WHAT'S THE CRITERIA FOR THE ADDITION OF PARKING LEVEL PARKING DECK? WHAT'S HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE DECIDED? SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER TO SEE ABOUT COMING TO AN AGREEMENT.

I BELIEVE THE CITY WOULD HAVE TO PUT FORWARD SOME FUNDS TO THAT TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

PROBABLY A BETTER QUESTION FOR ADMINISTRATION THAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, BECKY.

YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBER ROH, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.

WE'VE HAD ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE APPLICANT AND WE'RE KIND OF IN THE IN THE PROCESS OF DISCUSSING WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

BUT THIS WOULD BE PUBLIC PUBLIC PARKING THAT THE CITY WOULD NEED TO INVEST IN, AND WE WOULD ANTICIPATE BRINGING THAT FORWARD WITH THE OTHER INCENTIVE MATTERS RELATED TO THIS APPLICATION ALTOGETHER FOR YOUR APPROVAL IN THE FUTURE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I WANT TO GIVE THE APPLICANT A CHANCE TO TALK.

IF WE'RE GOING INTO SPECIFIC DETAILS, IF THEY SO CHOOSE IF.

OKAY, SIR.

GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR HEARING ABOUT OUR PROJECTS.

MY NAME IS STEVE METHOD, VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT FOR MIDAS DEVELOPMENT AND REPRESENTING MIDAS LENEXA CITY CENTER.

I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OR TAKE YOU BACK TO OUR PRESENTATION OR DESIGN IF YOU'D LIKE.

[00:45:03]

I THINK THE ONLY QUESTION THAT I HAD WAS IN REGARDS TO THE PARKING, THE PUBLIC PARKING SPACES WOULD BE ON THE BOTTOM LEVELS, ASSUMING THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. AND WILL THEY BE LIKE VALET SERVICES FOR THIS HOTEL? THE HOTEL IS NOT ANTICIPATING VALET SERVICES.

OKAY. BUT THE ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR THAT WILL SEPARATE THE PUBLIC AND THE HOTEL WILL BE UP INSIDE THE GARAGE.

PERFECT. SO HOTEL GUESTS WILL ARRIVE AND THERE WILL BE A FEW DESIGNATED SPACES WITHIN THE PUBLIC ZONE FOR HOTEL CHECK IN PARKING.

BUT ONCE THEY CHECK IN EITHER REMOTELY VIA THE ELECTRONIC MEANS OF CHECKING INTO THEIR ROOM OR ACTUALLY CHECKING IN AT THE FRONT DESK, THEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THEIR CAR AND TAKE IT UP INTO THE GARAGE.

OKAY, FANTASTIC. THANK YOU.

JOE, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

NO. ANYONE ELSE? TOM? THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT TO SEE IT PROGRESS.

AND AND WHAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IS THE STREETSCAPE THAT'S CREATED ON ALL FOUR SIDES.

AND TO HAVE A USER THAT CAN TAKE AN ENTIRE BLOCK.

AND I THINK THAT OUR DESIGNERS HAVE BEEN VERY THOUGHTFUL IN THE CREATION OF THE COURTYARD AND ALSO THE INTEGRATION OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE. AND I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD FEELING THAT YOU'D GET BEING IN CITY CENTER AND WALKING THIS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S AN INTERESTING LITTLE SITE HERE.

IF YOU LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THREE STORIES KIND OF ON THE WEST, FIVE STORIES ON THE WEST, FIVE STORIES ON THE EAST AND HOW THEY'VE REALLY WORKED THIS HOTEL COMPONENT, IT'S FULL LENGTH ON 87TH STREET WITH THE HOTEL ABOVE THE RETAIL . ON THE NORTH SIDE, THEY'VE GOT RETAIL AND THEN THEY'VE GOT A LITTLE EXPOSURE THERE.

AND I THINK THAT'S FINE.

I REALLY LIKE THE ARTICULATION, THE CHANGE IN MATERIALS.

NICE JOB ALL THE WAY AROUND.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ONE QUICK QUESTION.

THE ADDITIONAL PARKING ON TOP, IF IT'S ADDED ON AT STREET LEVEL, I'M NOT GOING TO SEE THAT UNLESS I'M PROBABLY UP IN FOURTH STORY OF CITY HALL, WHICH DOESN'T EXIST.

RIGHT. YOU HAVE TO BE A LONG WAY AWAY TO EVEN NOTICE THAT.

JUST DUE TO THE CANYONING OF THE STREET AND THE BUILDING ON BOTH SIDES.

SO. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THEN I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAN FOR THE MIXED USE BUILDING WITH HOTEL AND RETAIL SPACE KNOWN AS.

SO MOVED. [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU. DO YOU WANT TO PICK TWO? SO I DON'T. MELANIE AND JULIE.

THANK YOU. YOU BET.

OUR NEXT ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

[17. Consideration of establishing Project Plan 1K in the City Center Tax Increment Financing District (Kiewit Penrose Lane Building Project)]

KIEWIT PENROSE LANE BUILDING PROJECT.

17 A IS A PUBLIC HEARING.

17 B IS AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE TIF PROJECT PLAN 1K BY A TWO THIRDS VOTE OF THE GOVERNING BODY.

17 C IS A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH KIEWIT ENGINEERING GROUP.

AND 17 D IS AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PROJECT PLAN 1C WITHIN THE CITY CENTER TIF DISTRICT.

SEAN.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

SEAN MCLAUGHLIN CITY ATTORNEY.

I'M SORRY. TONIGHT YOU'LL BE CONSIDERING THE TIF INCENTIVES FOR PROJECT PLAN 1K, WHICH IS THE KIEWIT PENROSE LANE BUILDING PROJECT WHICH IS OUTLINED IN THE RED BOX ON THE MAP ON THE SCREEN.

TIF PROJECT PLAN 1K COVERS APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE LOCATED ALONG PENROSE.

IT WILL USE TAX INCREMENT GENERATED TO REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER FOR ELIGIBLE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT.

THE PROJECT PLAN APPROVES UP TO 20.68 MILLION IN ELIGIBLE PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS AND IS PROJECTED TO PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 13.1 MILLION OVER THE 20 YEAR TIF TERM.

ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A MINOR ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENT TO PROJECT PLAN 1C.

1C IS FOR WHAT WAS KNOWN AT THE TIME AS THE PERCEPTIVE PROJECT.

IF YOU LOOK AT MY CURSOR, 1C COVERS THE BUILDING ALONG RENNER RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF 89TH AND RENNER.

AT THE TIME IT ORIGINALLY INCLUDED THIS PROPERTY AT THE LAST MINUTE THAT WAS PULLED OUT.

BUT ONE THING WAS NOT PULLED OUT OF THAT PLAN.

THIS PULLS THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION, WHICH IS AN ELIGIBLE COST OUT OF THAT AND CLEANS IT UP FOR THIS PROJECT PLAN 1K.

I FORGOT TO MENTION IT'S ON THE SLIDE THERE.

THE ONE THING WITH THIS DEAL IS THAT WE DO GET SPECIAL EVENT PARKING.

YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT WITH THE ART FAIR THIS WEEKEND IF YOU CAME UP THAT 18, I THINK 18 TIMES A YEAR AS PART OF THE TIF AGREEMENTS, WE GET TO USE THEIR STRUCTURED PARKING FOR SPECIAL EVENTS, ART FAIR BEING ONE OF THE MORE PROMINENT ONES.

SO AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING, YOU'LL VOTE ON THE ORDINANCE APPROVING TIF PROJECT PLAN 1K.

IF THAT PASSES, YOU'LL THEN CONSIDER THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DDA, AND AFTER THAT YOU'LL CONSIDER THE ORDINANCE AMENDING PROJECT PLAN 1C. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ORDINANCES AS WELL AS THE RESOLUTION.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS NOW OR AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE APPLICANT ARE ALSO HERE.

APPLICANT LIKE TO MAKE ANY REMARKS BEFORE WE START.

OKAY. SURE.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME.

IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BODY, I'D CALL YOU FORWARD.

SEEING NONE. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY TOM. SECOND BY DAN.

ALL IN FAVOR. PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW CLOSED.

QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE.

MORE COMMENTS. ANYTHING.

JUST STAND FOR QUESTIONS.

OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE APPROVING THE TIF PROJECT PLAN 1K.

[COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS]

COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS.

JULIE. JOB WELL DONE TO PARKS DEPARTMENT, I'M ASSUMING ARTS COUNCIL FOR THE ART FAIR THIS SATURDAY WAS A GREAT CROWD, GREAT EVENT. LOTS OF PEOPLE DOWN IN THE PUBLIC MARKET HAVING LUNCH AND THINGS TO EAT.

FUN TO SEE MY FELLOW GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS.

AND A GREAT DAY ALL AROUND.

THANK YOU. BILL.

AND I USE KIEWIT'S PARKING.

[LAUGTHER] THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? I'LL JUST SAY DITTO. IT OPENED WITH A BANG WITH THE MARKET AND THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE MARKET, THE FARMER'S MARKET AND THE BOOST WAS EXCELLENT THIS YEAR. AND NO MATTER WHAT TIME I WAS HERE AND I CAME AND WENT A COUPLE OF TIMES JUST TO BALANCE MY DAY AND PUBLIC MARKET DOWNSTAIRS WAS BUSY AS IT SHOULD BE, AND I THINK THEY NEEDED TO CALL TIME OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE JUST TO CATCH THEIR BREATH.

AND THEN WE TRANSFORM FROM A VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY MORNING INTO A SLOWDOWN SLIGHTLY MIDDAY SUN CAME OUT, BEAUTIFUL TEMPERATURES, AND THEN WE TRANSITIONED TO THE MORE ADULT, BUT STILL APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN EVENTS FROM 5 TO 7 AND FOOD TRUCKS WERE BUSY AND MARKET WAS BUSY AND THE BANDS WERE ALL GREAT. SO CONGRATULATIONS ON A WELL DONE EVENT.

ANY STAFF REPORTS OTHER THAN THE ONE I'M GOING TO CALL NEXT.

JUST THE ONE YOU'RE GOING TO CALL NEXT.

ITEM NUMBER 18 IS ALLIANCE OF OLD TOWN ACTIVITY CENTER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE.

[STAFF REPORTS]

SORRY. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY LOGAN WAGLER PARKS RECREATION DIRECTOR.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE LENEXA OLD TOWN ACTIVITY CENTER PROJECT AS WE WRAP UP THE SD PHASE OF THE DESIGN.

AND WE DID OUR FIRST FULL COST ESTIMATION.

WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR ANY DECISIONS TONIGHT FROM THE GOVERNING BODY.

WE'RE REALLY JUST LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS AS WE SHOW YOU A LOT OF IMAGES AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THE PROCESS.

IT'S PROBABLY IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT WE'LL BE BACK BEFORE THE GOVERNING BODY IN ABOUT ONE MONTH BEFORE WE GO TO PLANNING COMMISSION AT THE END OF JUNE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE NEXT STEPS IN THE PROCESS.

I ALWAYS LIKE TO START OUT, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED.

I JUST WANT TO KIND OF TELL A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PROJECT BECAUSE THIS HAS GOT A LONG AND WINDING HISTORY BEHIND IT.

THE NEW LOOK AT OLD TOWN STUDY THAT WAS DONE IN 2015 HAD A RECOMMENDATION OUT OF THAT TO CREATE SORT OF THIS FRONT PORCH, FRONT YARD FOR OLD TOWN.

AND THAT MEANT DOING AWAY WITH THE SENIOR CENTER AND CONSOLIDATING OVER THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

THAT THEN LED TO A STUDY THAT WAS DONE IN 2018, WRAPPED UP AT THE END OF 18 EARLY 19, CALLED THE COMMUNITY CENTER SENIOR CENTER STUDY.

IT WAS A ROBUST STUDY THAT LOOKED AT THE SENIOR PROGRAMING VERY INTENSELY AND REALLY LOOKED AT HOW WE CAN COMBINE THOSE PROGRAMS AMONGST THE TWO BUILDINGS INTO ONE AND THEN IMPROVE THE SITE.

FROM THAT THE GOVERNING BODY GOT REALLY EXCITED AND WE FUNDED A PROJECT.

THE PROJECT WAS PUT IN THE CIP.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PANDEMIC HIT AND WE WERE ON PAUSE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

AFTER THE PANDEMIC HIT YOU LIKELY REMEMBER WE'VE HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS, INCLUDING A LONG WORKSHOP, A KIND OF REDEFINED THE SCOPE AND DIRECTION FOR THE PROJECT.

SINCE THEN, THE TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD TO FLESH OUT THE DESIGN.

THIS PRESENTATION IS REALLY VISUAL.

IT SHOWS A LOT OF MODELING TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THE PROJECT IS TAKING SHAPE AND HOW I BELIEVE IT'S KIND OF ALIGNING WITH THE VISION AND THE GOALS OF THE GOVERNING BODY IS SET BEFORE US AS A TEAM.

AS STAFF, I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M SUPER EXCITED HOW THINGS ARE COMING TOGETHER.

THE TEAM IS WORKING GREAT, WORKING REALLY HARD.

NOT ONLY IS THIS GOING TO HELP REALLY MEET THE EVOLVING NEED RECREATIONAL NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, BUT IT'S REALLY GOING TO TRANSFORM THIS BUILDING.

IT'S GOING TO TRANSFORM THE SITE, AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE OLD TOWN.

SO WE'RE EXCITED.

AND LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO SAY WE HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT WE'RE WITHIN BUDGET, RIGHT? SO TURNER CONSTRUCTION COULD NOT BE HERE TONIGHT.

THEY'RE OUR CONSTRUCTION PARTNER, BUT WE'VE GOT THE MAJORITY OF OUR DESIGN TEAM.

I'LL DO SOME QUICK INTRODUCTIONS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM SEAN ZAUDKE WITH MULTISTUDIO, WHO'S OUR LEAD ARCHITECT, WHO YOU'VE HEARD FROM BEFORE.

BUT NEW IN FRONT OF YOU TONIGHT IS MATT EVETT WITH CONFLUENCE, WHO'S GOING TO KIND OF COVER THE SITE AS WELL.

SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MATT.

I'M GOING TO JUMP IN FIRST REALLY QUICKLY, JUST AS A QUICK REMINDER, ALL OF THE DESIGN DECISIONS AND ALL OF THE SORT OF DESIGNS THAT YOU WILL SEE TODAY, WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED

[01:00:03]

AND AMONG WE BEGAN TO EXTRACT SOME OF THE KEY POINTS OUT OF THAT.

AND AMONG THEM, THE IDEA THAT THIS IS A PLACE ABOUT HEALTHY PEOPLE, THAT IT'S ABOUT INVITING PLACES AND VIBRANT COMMUNITIES, AND THAT WE TOOK THOSE THEMES AS A MECHANISM TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE WERE GOING TO RETHINK THE SITE AND THE EXISTING BUILDING.

SO THE NOTION OF WEAVING OLD TOWN TOGETHER, MAKING VISUAL CONNECTIONS TO IT, ENHANCING THE VISIBILITY TO OLD TOWN AS A DESTINATION, AND THINKING OF THIS AS A PRECINCT CONNECTING TO THE ADJOINING NEIGHBORHOODS AND DEVELOPING STRATEGIES THAT THE SITE ITSELF COULD REACH OUTWARD.

AND THEN REALLY THINKING ABOUT HOW THIS CAN REALLY BE A MULTI GENERATIONAL TYPE OF FACILITY AND TO REINFORCE THAT IN THE DESIGN ASPECTS AND HOW WE'VE BEGUN TO THINK ABOUT THE ARTICULATION, THE CONNECTIVITY WITHIN THE BUILDING.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL PASS IT ON TO LOGAN.

TO BE OR SORRY, LOGAN. MATT.

ALL RIGHT. YES, LOGAN.

AGAIN MATT [INAUDIBLE] WITH CONFLUENCE.

AGAIN EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY.

CONFLUENCE WAS ON THE OLD TOWN STUDY AND THEN ON THE MASTER PLAN AS WELL FOR THIS SITE.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVESTMENT IN PLANNING PROJECTS.

YOU CAN SEE HERE THE EXISTING SENIOR CENTER IN LIGHT BLUE 4000FT² THAT'S MOVING INTO THE REC CENTER.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT ABOUT 33 EXISTING PARKING SPACES THERE IN YELLOW.

SO OUR PARAMETERS ARE BASICALLY WHAT YOU SEE IN GREEN.

THE ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN LOOKED AT THE WHOLE CAMPUS HOLISTICALLY, BUT SCOUTING PARK AT THE TIME HAD BEEN UPDATED, SO WE REALLY DIDN'T KIND OF VENTURE OFF INTO THAT.

WE REALLY JUST TRIED TO FOCUS AROUND THE BUILDING.

SO AS YOU SEE HERE, WE'VE GOT THE YOU KNOW, AS LOGAN MENTIONED, THIS FRONT PORCH, THIS ACTIVATION OF THIS CORNER.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO DO HERE.

WE'VE LOOKED AT PROGRAMING SPACES AND PARK LIKE SPACES.

IF I CAN DRIVE HERE.

SO AS YOU SEE THIS KIND OF PROGRAM SPACE, THERE'S THE DOORS HERE FROM THE GYM, THERE'S A GATE ACCESS HERE AND HERE.

SO AS PEOPLE COME IN, WE HAVE A FLEX LAWN, SO A SYNTHETIC TURF LAWN THAT COULD BE USED FOR YARD GAMES LIKE BOCCE BALL BAGS, GIANT JENGA CONNECT, FOUR THINGS LIKE THAT.

REALLY KIND OF BE A COMMUNITY HUB FOR PEOPLE TO HANG OUT.

WE ALSO THINK THAT KIDS COULD HANG OUT THERE AS MAYBE MOM AND DAD ARE PLAYING PICKLEBALL, SO KEEPING SIGHT LINES OPEN AND VISIBLE FOR THOSE THINGS TO HAPPEN.

AS WE KIND OF MOVE AROUND THE HORN HERE, WE'VE GOT TWO SHUFFLEBOARD COURTS.

WE THINK THOSE WILL BE KIND OF IMPACTFUL FOR THE SPACE.

SO AS SEAN MENTIONED, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR THAT MULTIGENERATIONAL KIND OF ACTIVITY.

SO KIDS, SENIORS, EVERYBODY CAN PLAY SHUFFLEBOARD.

WE'VE GOT A PING PONG TABLE THAT KIND OF SERVES AS THAT WARMUP STATION.

BUT AGAIN, ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT'S JUST LOW IMPACT SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THE SPACE.

WE'VE GOT FOUR PICKLEBALL COURTS.

AND AS LOGAN TELLS ME, THAT THEY CAN'T BUILD ENOUGH OF THESE.

SO THAT'S A GOOD THING.

THOSE COLORS ARE A PLACEHOLDER RIGHT NOW, SO WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS PRETTY SOON.

BUT AGAIN, 4 PICKLEBALL COURTS, THEY REALLY KIND OF ANCHOR THE SPACE AND THEN WE JUST HAVE A BUNCH OF PLAZA SPACE FOR TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR THAT SOCIAL ASPECT, FOR THOSE OPPORTUNITIES, FOR EVENTS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THIS WHOLE SPACE HERE AND YOU EXCLUDE THE LANDSCAPE, THAT'S ABOUT 13,100FT² OF PROGRAM SPACE.

THE EXISTING GYM TODAY IS 9000FT².

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE GYM TODAY IN THAT FACILITY, WE'RE REALLY OFFERING A LOT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT'S HAPPENING ON THE EXTERIOR OF THIS PROJECT ON THIS CAMPUS.

WE HAVE THIS OPEN LAWN SPACE HERE.

AGAIN, IT'S A LARGE SPACE FOR EVENTS.

YOU'VE GOT YOUR FUN RUN. YOU GOT OTHER THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN OUT HERE.

IT'S ABOUT 5300FT².

SO IF IT WAS PACKED AT 25FT² PER PERSON, YOU COULD FIT 212 PEOPLE IN THERE.

SO REALLY A GATHERING SPACE.

YOU COULD FIT A BUNCH OF TENTS IN HERE.

THE PARKS GROUP HAS TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE KIDS ACTIVITIES THAT CAN HAPPEN OUT HERE DURING SUMMER.

SO REALLY JUST A LARGE FLEXIBLE LAWN SPACE WITH A WALL SEAT WALL THAT GOES AROUND HERE.

AND THAT'S REALLY TO HELP THE KIDS STAY IN FOR THOSE SUMMER CAMP SITUATIONS.

AS WE KIND OF MOVE AROUND HERE TO THE FRONT DOOR, WE'VE GOT A DROP OFF ZONE.

AGAIN, A LOT OF KIDS DROPPING OFF FOR CAMPS.

BUT WE ALSO SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FOOD TRUCKS.

IF YOU HAVE A LARGE EVENT THAT'S GOING IN THE LAWN OR SOMEBODY'S RENTED OUT, MAYBE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS, YOU COULD ACTUALLY HAVE SOME FOOD TRUCKS THAT HAVE SOME FOOD COMPONENT TO THAT SITUATION.

IF YOUR MOBILITY IS BIKES, WE'VE GOT BIKE RACKS OUT HERE.

WE'VE GOT 12 SPOTS RIGHT THERE FOR FOLKS TO RIDE THEIR BIKE TO THE COMMUNITY TO STAY HEALTHY.

AND THEN OBVIOUSLY COMING IN HERE, SEAN WILL TALK ABOUT THIS MORE.

BUT WE HAVE THE ENTRY CANOPY THAT COMES IN AND THEN LANDSCAPING THROUGHOUT THIS ENTRY PLAZA, REALLY KIND OF CHANGING THE DYNAMIC OF WHAT IT IS TODAY.

COMING AROUND TO THE SENIOR CENTER.

HERE'S THE ENTRY POINT HERE.

[01:05:02]

WE HAVE AN AWNING SITUATION OR A CANOPY SITUATION OUT HERE AS WELL.

TODAY, THERE IS THE 33 STALLS OVER HERE WITH A COUPLE OF EXISTING STALLS AND 26 PROPOSED STALLS.

WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT YOU HAD AS AVAILABLE PARKING FOR SENIORS TO ACCESS THIS SPACE.

CAMPUS TODAY HAS 9 ADA STALLS AND WE'VE ADDED ONE MORE.

SO WE'VE GOT TEN TOTAL ON THE CAMPUS FOR ADA PARKING STALLS.

WE ALSO HAVE THIS BERM HERE, WHICH WILL BE LANDSCAPED WITH TREES AND GRASSES.

AGAIN, WE'VE GOT RESIDENCES OVER HERE, SO WE KIND OF WANT TO HAVE A BERM TO HELP SEPARATE THAT SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO STARE AT A PARKING LOT ALL THE TIME.

SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO BE COGNIZANT OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN GENERAL.

THE BIG MOVE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT PEOPLE COMING FROM OLD TOWN IS WE WANTED PEOPLE TO SWEEP IN AND SWEEP THROUGH.

SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO CONNECT SCOUTING PARK WITH THESE NEW AMENITIES AND REALLY KIND OF TAKING PEOPLE THROUGH A JOURNEY TO GET TO THESE SPOTS.

AGAIN, WE JUST SEE A LOT OF NATIVE LANDSCAPE RAIN GARDENS OVER HERE WHERE THEY MAKE SENSE.

I'M REALLY INTRIGUED WITH THIS MAYOR'S FOR MONARCHS SITUATION THROUGH THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FOUNDATION.

SO THERE COULD BE POLLINATOR GARDENS OUT HERE AS WELL TO KIND OF REALLY SUPPORT THAT KIND OF HABITAT.

AND THEN FINALLY, LIGHTING IS IMPORTANT, TOO.

SO WE'LL HAVE LIGHTS STRUNG THROUGHOUT.

THESE WOULD BE 14 FOOT TALL PEDESTRIAN POLES THAT JUST KIND OF MAKE IT A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

BUT THEN ALSO WE HAVE SPORT COURT LIGHTING AS WELL FOR THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AND WE HAVE FESTOON LIGHTING THAT KIND OF GOES OVER THE LAWN SPACE OVER HERE.

SO WE'RE REALLY JUST CREATING A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC FOR THAT SPACE AS WELL.

HERE'S A VIEW LOOKING DOWN AT THE SPORT COURTS AND THAT KIND OF LAWN SPACE.

AGAIN, OUTDOOR YOGA CLASS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND THEN JUST BRINGING PEOPLE THROUGH LANDSCAPE AND REALLY KIND OF USING LANDSCAPE TO KIND OF BUFFER THOSE SPACES AS WELL.

IS THAT LAWN GRASS OR TURF? THIS WOULD BE LAWN MOBILE LAWN.

THE ONE IN HERE WOULD BE SYNTHETIC BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T WANT TO BRING LAWN MOWERS IN AND OUT OF THE SPACE.

AS WE KIND OF CONTINUE AROUND THE ENTRY DOOR HERE COMPARED TO THE SENIOR CENTER, I THINK IS ABOUT 3.5FT DIFFERENCE.

BUT WE'RE KIND OF MAKING THAT UP AND TRANSITION WISE THROUGH GRADE.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS PARK OR THIS A ADDITION COMING OUT INTO THE SPACE.

TODAY I FEEL LIKE THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS PARK ADJACENT.

BUT WITH THIS NEW PLAN, I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S NESTLED INTO THE PARK.

SO I THINK IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OVERALL SPACE THAT'S BEING EXISTING AND PROPOSED FOR THIS SPACE.

AGAIN, THE PARKING STALLS FOR THE SENIORS AND THAT AWNING IN THAT LOCATION.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THAT LAWN SPACE WITH THE SEAT WALL.

AGAIN, THAT KIND OF KEEPS KIDS CONTAINED THROUGH SUMMER CAMPS.

SO I THINK A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES OUT HERE JUST TO BE A FLEXIBLE LAWN SPACE.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS BEYOND.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

SO I THINK A LOT OF LOW IMPACT AND JUST USEFUL SPACES OUT HERE TO KEEP PEOPLE HAVING FUN.

AND THERE'S JUST A MYRIAD OF THINGS TO DO.

SO YOU CAN COME OUT HERE AS YOU'RE WAITING FOR YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME.

YOU CAN BE DOING SEVERAL OTHER THINGS SOCIALIZING, PLAYING PING PONG OR SHUFFLEBOARD OR YARD GAMES.

HEY, MAN, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON LIGHTING.

SO POINT OUT THE LIGHTING.

AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE PACKET, I COULD SEE THE STRING LIGHTING AND SO FORTH, BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHERE ARE THE LIGHT POLES OR WHATEVER FOR THE PICKLEBALL COURTS.

THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER IS STILL WORKING ON THAT.

STILL WORKING ON THAT. OKAY.

TALKING TO A GROUP CALLED MUSCO THAT DOES SPORTS LIGHTING, BUT THEY'RE KIND OF WORKING THROUGH AN OPTION.

AND OUR UNDERSTANDING RIGHT NOW IS THEY'RE GOING TO BE FOR THOSE LIGHTS, BUT I DON'T KNOW, HEIGHTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. ANY CONCERN FROM LOGAN, FROM RESIDENTS WITH LIGHTING? ABSOLUTELY NOT WITH THE SPORTS LIGHTING.

OKAY. SO THE REASON WE KIND OF WAS PICKED IN IS THEY'VE GOT GREAT, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC SPORTS LIGHTING, JUST NO LIGHT POLLUTION WHATSOEVER.

AND WE'LL TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS TO LOOK AT THE REST OF THE LIGHTING.

AND WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE LIGHTING ON THIS SITE IS IT'S REALLY THE RESIDENTS ARE REALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SITE.

SO WE'LL BE SENSITIVE TO THAT AND STUDY THAT CLOSELY.

OKAY. THANKS. AND AGAIN, HERE'S MORE OF A PEDESTRIAN VIEW.

AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS, BUT THEN ACCESSIBILITY AND VISIBILITY TO THAT LAWN SPACE FOR PARENTS THAT HAVE KIDS KIND OF HANGING OUT IN THERE AND THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY A GAME OR TWO AND KEEP EYES ON THEM.

THIS IS THE AWNING THAT MULTISTUDIO HAS DEVELOPED.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AWNING THAT'S REALLY GOING TO PROVIDE SHADE SO YOU CAN BE IN THE SUN OR IN THE SHADE, HANGING OUT IN THE SPACE AND REALLY KIND OF BE AS FAR INTO THE ACTIVITY AS YOU FEEL APPROPRIATE.

ANOTHER VIEW OF WHAT THAT STRING LIGHTING COULD BE FOR THIS LAWN SPACE WITH THE YARD GAMES, PEOPLE JUST KIND OF HANGING OUT, SOCIALIZING.

AND THEN WE THINK THERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT TO BE PRETTY ENLIVENED AT NIGHT WITH STRING LIGHTING.

[01:10:02]

SO IF THERE'S GAMES GOING ON HERE, I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE VISIBILITY, BUT YOU CAN KIND OF STILL BE OUTSIDE ON YOUR FRONT PORCH, IF YOU WILL, AS THINGS ARE HAPPENING OUT HERE.

SO REALLY THAT GREAT INDOOR OUTDOOR RELATIONSHIP WITHIN THIS SPACE.

AND NOW, I HAND IT OVER TO SEAN.

THANK YOU, MATT.

AS LOGAN HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, A LOT OF THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE UTILIZED WAS INTEGRATION WITH THE TEAM, WITH TURNER.

AND SO AS WE'VE DEVELOPED THESE DRAWINGS, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM FROM AN ESTIMATE STANDPOINT SO THAT WHAT WE'RE DRAWING FOR YOU AND SHARING WITH YOU VISUALLY, WE HAVE A MUCH HIGHER DEGREE OF COMFORT THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE PROJECT WILL LOOK LIKE.

I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS VARIABLES THERE, BUT THE GOAL IS TO REALLY MAKE THIS A TEAM EFFORT.

THE BUILDING SCOPE IS ORGANIZED WITH THE AREAS IN THE DARK GREEN ARE ESSENTIALLY THE RENOVATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE EXISTING BUILDING FOR THE SENIOR CENTER AND THE EXISTING COMMUNITY SPACES.

WE HAVE THE AREA IN GRAY TOWARDS THE BOTTOM RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S THE NEW YOUTH SORT OF MULTI-PURPOSE COMPONENT.

AND THEN THE CANOPIES ARE ACTING AS THE MECHANISM TO BEGIN TO WEAVE THE PROJECT TOGETHER.

AND IT'S THIS NOTION OF WEAVING AND CREATING CONNECTION AMONG THE COMMUNITIES THAT'S STARTING TO PICK UP UPON.

THE EXTERIOR IS REALLY ORGANIZED WITH RECOGNIZING THAT THE EXISTING BUILDING NEEDED A LITTLE LOVE, AND THAT PART OF THAT WAS REALLY FOCUSING ON HOW WE WERE BEGINNING TO DEAL WITH THE CONSTRUCTABILITY OF HOW WE REPLACE THE EXISTING PANELS.

THEY WERE RUSTED THROUGH.

THE CLEAR SPAN FROM THE TOP OF THE CMU UP TO THE PARAPET.

AND SO THE SYSTEM THAT WE'RE REPLACING WITH THEM ALLOWS US TO PULL THOSE PANELS DOWN AND PUT NEW ONES UP IN THEIR PLACE WITHOUT DOING ANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURAL MODIFICATIONS AND THEN PAINTING THAT EXISTING LOWER CMU AREA.

WE HAVE STUDIED A VARIETY OF OPTIONS RELATIVE TO HOW WE BEGIN TO ARTICULATE AND CHANGE THIS, AND THOSE STUDIES ARE STILL GOING UNDERWAY AND THE IMAGES THAT YOU SEE HERE ARE SORT OF THE BASE POINT FOR WHERE WE WILL CONTINUE INTO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THOSE WILL BE WHAT WE WILL SHARE WITH YOU AS THEY EVOLVE IN THE NEXT MEETING.

THE EXTERIOR PALETTE IS REALLY BASED UPON TAKING WHAT WE'VE SORT OF ANALYZED FROM LOOKING AT OLD TOWN.

OLD TOWN HAS A WIDE RANGE OF MATERIAL TYPES.

IT HAS THE BRICK, IT HAS SORT OF THESE WARM BEIGES AND MULTI COLORED HUES ACROSS IT AND LETTING THAT PALETTE INFORM HOW THE NEW BUILDING WOULD LOOK.

AND SO TO CREATE THAT, WE'RE LOOKING AT A VARIETY OF PANELS, THE INSULATED METAL PANEL SYSTEMS THAT ARE OUT THERE, AS YOU RECALL, ARE JUST THE SORT OF WHITE CONTINUOUS PANELS. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN REPLACEMENT OF THEM WITHOUT LIKE COMPLETELY JUST REDESIGNING THE ENTIRE WAY IN WHICH THE BUILDING IS STRUCTURED IS TO USE A VARIETY OF BOTH COLOR AND TEXTURE TO CREATE SOME VISIBLE VARIABILITY ACROSS THE FAÇADE.

SO IT DOESN'T JUST LOOK LIKE ONE FLAT PLAIN SURFACE UP THERE.

IN THIS VIEW, YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT EXCUSE ME, ON THE LEFT, THE GYM, EXISTING GYM ELEMENT IN THE PANEL SETTING ACROSS THAT. AND THEN IN THE FOREGROUND IS THE CANOPY COMING OUT OF THE BUILDING.

SETTING BELOW THE CANOPY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING AS WELL WITH THE WITH THE ARTS COUNCIL TO ESTABLISH THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE MURAL WOULD GO.

THAT LOCATION IS BEING ESTABLISHED ALL ALONG THIS EDGE TO CREATE BASICALLY INVITING WALKWAY THAT TAKE YOU INTO THE BUILDING.

IT WRAPS AROUND AND CONNECTS BOTH TO THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AND ON AROUND AS A WAY OF SORT OF UNIFYING THAT WHOLE AREA AND THEN COVERING UP THE EXISTING MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND THE FENCES THAT ARE THERE AS WELL.

SO IT WAS KIND OF A WIN WIN.

WE COULD CREATE A WAY OF CREATING A MUCH MORE INSTAGRAM PHOTOGRAPHICAL MOMENT UP ADJACENT TO IT AT THE SAME TIME AS COVERING UP THE EXISTING MECHANICAL SORT OF FENCES THAT ARE THERE.

AND THEN THE CANOPY COMES OUT AND ACTS AS A WAY OF CREATING SORT OF AN INVITATION TO COME INTO THE EXISTING ENTRY AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

ON THE SENIOR CENTER SIDE.

WE'VE ALSO BEGAN TO ADJUST IT.

AND THIS IS A VIEW LOOKING AT THERE, YOU CAN BEGIN TO SEE THE VARIETY OF PANEL TYPES.

AGAIN, THIS IS STILL UNDER STUDY AND WE'RE STILL CONTINUING TO MODIFY BOTH THE TEXTURES AND THE COLOR AND THE MATERIALITY FOR THAT SYSTEM.

YOU CAN START TO REALLY WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO REALLY FOCUS ON IS THE IDEA OF CREATING A HIGH DEGREE OF TRANSPARENCY FOR THE SENIOR CENTERS SO THAT THERE'S A VISUAL CONNECTION BOTH TO THE NEW LANDSCAPING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AS WELL AS THE CONNECTION INSIDE.

AND THEN HERE IS A VIEW FROM THE OLD FROM ESSENTIALLY OLD TOWN, FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST, AND THEN A VIEW UNDERNEATH THE CANOPY. AGAIN, THE DETAILING ON THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO EVOLVE.

BUT THE NOTION HERE IS THAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO CREATE A STRONG SENSE OF INTERIOR EXTERIOR CONNECTIVITY AND THAT THIS IS A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD UTILIZE IT FOR STAGING, FOR FUN RUN OR ANY SORT OF CIVIC ACTIVITY THAT COULD OCCUR IN ADJACENT AND CONCURRENT WITH OLD TOWN.

[01:15:05]

THE DIAGRAM HERE ILLUSTRATES THIS IDEA OF HOW WE'RE BEGINNING TO WEAVE THE CANOPY AND HOW IT STARTS TO BECOME CEILING SYSTEM ON THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS A WAYFINDING TOOL AND AS A WAY OF SORT OF CREATING CONNECTIVITY AMONG ALL THE GENERATIONS WITHIN THE BUILDING.

AGAIN, THE MURAL STARTS TO FRAME ONE OF THOSE SIDES AS YOU COME FROM THE WEST.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME STUDY THAT WE'RE DOING RELATIVE TO HOW THAT PANEL WILL ACTUALLY BE UTILIZED AND CONNECT.

BUT AS YOU MAKE IT INTO THE BUILDING, WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO ORGANIZE IS JUST THE WAY IN WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS WORK.

SO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE AREAS IN GREEN ARE THE ADDITION AREAS IN YELLOW ARE THE CIRCULATION AREAS, AND THEN THE AREAS IN GRAY IS WHERE WE'RE DOING SOME OF THE MORE SEVERE RENOVATION WORK.

WE'RE RENOVATING MOST TOUCHING IT IN PLACES ALL OVER, BUT THE AREAS IN GRAY ARE THE AREAS WHERE WE'RE REALLY STARTING TO FOCUS ON IT IN MORE DETAIL.

AND THEN AS YOU COME INTO THE LOBBIES, YOU CAN SEE THE CEILING SYSTEM COMING FROM THE EXTERIOR INTO THE MAIN LOBBY SPACE.

YOU CAN START TO SEE HOW WE'RE CREATING THAT WOOD CEILING AS A UNIFYING MEMBER THAT CONNECTS BOTH SIDES OF THE BUILDING SO THAT AS YOU COME INTO THE MAIN ENTRY, THE CEILING COMES IN AND FRAMES THE AREA OVER THE EXISTING DOORS.

A NEW WELCOME DESK WILL BE THERE.

IT'S MUCH MORE OPEN UP THAN IT WAS BEFORE ORIGINALLY.

RIGHT NOW IT'S BEHIND GLASS.

AND THE PERSON THAT SITS THERE KIND OF SITS LOW.

HERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE UP HIGH AND SORT OF VERY VISIBLY PRESENT AS YOU COME INTO THE DOOR.

THEY'RE ALSO SITUATED SO THEY CAN SEE DOWN THE CORRIDORS AND HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE SECURITY AND CONTROL OVER THE ENTIRE FACILITY.

AND THEN ON THE SENIOR CENTER SIDE, THIS IS A VIEW AS THE CEILING COMES THROUGH AT THAT LOCATION AS WELL.

AND HOW WE'RE STARTING TO CREATE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPACE WITHIN THE BUILDING.

SO WE HAVE THIS LOUNGE SPACE THAT SITS ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING VESTIBULES, THE NEW SORT OF CANOPY THAT COMES THROUGH, AND THEN THE MEETING SPACE THAT SITS BEYOND THAT.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE FLEXIBILITY INSIDE OF THE MEETING SPACE SO THAT THOSE SPACES CAN SORT OF GO BACK AND FORTH AND OPEN UP AND SO THAT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY AS WELL TO BE UTILIZED NOT ONLY FOR SENIOR EVENTS BUT FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF EVENTS WITHIN THE SPACE.

FROM A PROJECT SCHEDULE STANDPOINT, AS LOGAN HAD INDICATED, WE ARE BASICALLY SHARING THIS TODAY AS SORT OF AN END STEP PROCESS JUST TO GET ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH THE GOAL OF BRINGING THIS BACK TO YOU IN JUNE, I BELIEVE JUNE 16TH IS THE DATE, IF I REMEMBER CORRECT.

AND THEN FROM THERE SUBMITTING TO PLANNING COMMISSION FOR FINAL APPROVAL.

SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO OPEN UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

BILL. THANK YOU.

VERY NICE.

THAT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE NOVEMBER 20TH.

WE START. YEAH.

THE GOAL IS WE WOULD TRY TO WRAP UP DESIGN DOCUMENTS IN THE FALL AND START CONSTRUCTION AROUND NOVEMBER.

WHICH LEADS ME LOGAN.

THAT'S AFTER CHILI, A VERY BIG EVENT THAT YOU HAVE.

THERE'S A LOT OF TEAMS AROUND THE SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER AND WHERE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS ARE GOING, WE'RE IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO LOSE A CHILI IN A 24, WILL WE? WE ARE NOT GOING TO CANCEL CHILI.

NO, I KNOW. BUT WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THAT SPACE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REORGANIZE TEAMS, THAT'S FOR SURE.

BUT WE DON'T PLAN ON CANCELING OR REDUCING THE EVENT.

NO. WE'RE REALLY JUST KIND TO REORGANIZE THINGS.

PROBABLY UTILIZE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE STREET [INAUDIBLE] WALNUT AND A LITTLE LESS TEAMS THERE ON IN THAT PARKING LOT THAT EXIST TODAY.

DO PEOPLE STILL PLAY SHUFFLEBOARD? OF COURSE THEY DO.

REALLY? OKAY.

WHEN THEY'RE WAITING AROUND FOR PICKLEBALL GAMES AND STUFF.

[LAUGHTER] OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT. THE NEW BUILDING THE MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING, I REALLY LIKE HOW IT COMES OUT AT AN ANGLE RATHER THAN STUCK ON, LIKE, A LEGO.

IT REALLY ADDS TO IT.

REALLY NICE. AND THE UPPER PANELS WITH THE TEXTURES AND THE COLORS REALLY ADD INTERESTING DETAILS, I THINK.

VERY NICE.

WILL THERE BE THE SENIOR SIDE, A RECEPTION WELCOMING DESK PERSON SPACE FOR A PERSON DOWN THERE.

THERE WILL BE A OFFICE THAT SITS DIRECTLY TO THE MAIN ENTRY THAT WILL HAVE A VISIBLE WINDOW SO THAT THEY CAN SERVICE ANYBODY COMING IN AT THAT LOCATION.

[01:20:08]

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. DAN. THANKS, MAYOR.

WELL, BILL, YOU COVERED A LOT OF THE TOPICS THAT WERE ON MY LIST, SO THANK YOU.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE COLLABORATIVE BY THE TEAM ITSELF AND THEN LISTENING TO THINGS WE HAD SUGGESTED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

I THINK YOU'RE BRINGING THEM TO LIFE.

DRAWINGS ARE FANTASTIC.

I LIKE THE COLOR SCHEMES, THE INTEGRATION OF JUST A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND SO FORTH.

SO THERE'S A PART OF ME THAT SAYS SO SUCCESSFUL, I HOPE WE HAVE ENOUGH PARKING THAT AS IT BECOMES MORE OF A DRAW AND SO FORTH.

I'M ASSUMING AT THIS POINT THE ONLY TIME THAT PARKING LOT IS FULL TO DATE IS WHEN WE HAVE A CITY EVENT OF SOME KIND.

NORMALLY DURING THE WEEK, HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD YOU SAY OR HOW MANY SLOTS ARE OPEN? LIKE HALF. TWO THIRDS.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT PROGRAMS ARE GOING ON THERE.

BUT IT'S PRETTY FREQUENT THAT WE'LL SEE EITHER HALF TO TWO THIRDS FULL.

OKAY. SO BUT THERE IS A LOT OF STREET PARKING THROUGHOUT OLD TOWN.

I THINK PEOPLE IF YOU'VE BEEN DOWN THERE, THE CHILI CONTEST, YOU SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR AND FEEL COMFORTABLE PARKING ON STREETS THROUGHOUT TOWN.

SO. GREAT PRESENTATION, GOOD PROGRESS.

THANK YOU.

JULIE. I ALSO AGREE WITH BILL.

JUST THAT MOVE OF KINKING THAT FRONT OF THAT BUILDING REALLY MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

WRAPPING IT IN WOOD MAKES IT SEEM JUST SO MUCH MORE INVITING.

SO THANK YOU FOR REALLY STUDYING THAT AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT WORKED OUT BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT CHANGE.

I ALSO JUST HAVE TO SAY BRAVO ON ALL THE PLAZA WORK.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID IS JUST SPEAKS THE LANGUAGE OF WHAT THE STUDY IN 2015 WAS ASKING FOR IS CREATING A DESTINATION THAT PEOPLE FOR THIS SIDE OF TOWN ARE REALLY GOING TO SEE THIS AS THEIR HOME, THEIR PLACE TO HANG OUT, THEIR PLACE TO, YOU KNOW, GATHER AND RECREATE AND GO ACROSS THE STREET AND GET ICE CREAM. AND I THINK IT'S JUST EXACTLY WHAT OLD TOWN NEEDS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I'M JUST SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS.

COURTNEY. DITTO.

ONE QUESTION, AND I THINK IT'S MORE COLOR PLAYING A TRICK ON MY EYE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

PAGE 233 OF OUR PACKET, WHICH MEANS NOTHING TO YOU.

SO LET ME PULL IT UP.

MAYOR, I WOULD APOLOGIZE. I BELIEVE WHAT'S IN YOUR PACKET IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE PRESENTATION.

OKAY, WE'VE GOT ONE PREVIOUS VERSION AND THAT'S.

AND THAT'S OKAY. THIS IS A SIMPLE QUESTION.

WHEN I LOOK AT THIS SLIDE AND I KNOW WITH SOME INTENTION, BUT NOT TO THE EXCLUSION OR PRECLUSION OF OTHER, THIS APPEARS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DRAG PEOPLE THROUGH THAT ENTRY WAY AND OUT THE ENTRY WAY.

AND WHILE THAT'S GREAT FOR THE PEOPLE WANTING TO USE THAT SPACE, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO NET TO THE COMMUNITY FROM THE EAST SIDE TO THE WEST SIDE, THE LANDSCAPE PIECE THAT SHOWS THE OUTSIDE TRAIL, IT APPEARS THERE'S KIND OF SOME OBJECTS TO GO.

IT'S QUICKER THAT WAY THAN THAT WAY, AS OPPOSED TO INVITING YOU TO PASS BY VERSUS THROUGH SOMETIMES.

WELL, I MEAN. WELL, THAT'S ONE.

I THINK YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE ON SITE FOR PURPOSES AND THAT MAY BE IN AND OUT.

I MEAN, PULLING IN AND MAKING SENSE, BUT JUST I MEAN, AS PRESENTED HERE, THERE'S ONE WAY FROM EAST TO WEST.

IT'S THROUGH THE BUILDING, THE DESIGN AND THE LANDSCAPING ISLANDS AND WHATEVER OUTSIDE THE BUILDING ON ANOTHER SLIDE LOOK LIKE I'M WANDERING MY WAY THROUGH LANDSCAPING MOUNDS AND TREES AND BUSHES TO FIND MY WAY TO GO FROM THE WEST SIDE TO THE EAST SIDE WHEN I MAY NOT WANT TO GO INTO THE BUILDING.

WHILE I UNDERSTAND A DIRECT SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING DOESN'T NECESSARILY MAKE SENSE.

I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE INVITING FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO GO INSIDE AND COME BACK YOU OUT AND GET IN THE WAY OF THOSE ASSEMBLING FOR THE USING OF THE INTERIOR TO NOT ALMOST DISCOURAGE YOU FROM JUST STAYING OUTSIDE.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT COMMENT, MAYOR.

IT'S SOMETHING WE'LL CONTINUE TO FLESH OUT THE DESIGN.

I MEAN, WE DIDN'T GO INTO FULL DETAIL, BUT AGAIN, WE'VE GOT FURTHER DESIGN TO FLUSH OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SITE AND SIDEWALK CONNECTORS.

AND I THINK MATT PUT IT LIKE A LITTLE YOU SEE THE LITTLE STONE PATH THAT'S KIND OF THE THE CATTLE PATH WE TALKED ABOUT THAT'S GOING TO BE THE SHORTCUT THAT MOST PEOPLE JUST WANT TO JUMP ON DOWN THERE. BUT IT DOES NOT MEET ADA.

IF WE CAN AFFORD THAT, WE'LL IMPROVE THAT AND MAKE THAT BETTER TOO.

FOR SOMEONE WHO MAY NOT WANT TO GO INTO THE HALLWAY.

IS THAT HOW I MEAN, THIS IS THE OTHER SLIDE I WAS LOOKING AT.

IF I DON'T WANT TO GO IN TO FOLLOW THAT YELLOW BRICK ROAD, SO TO SPEAK, IN AND OUT, I'M NOT SURE THERE'S A LOT OF ALTERNATIVES HERE TO GET FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OR EAST TO WEST OR WEST TO EAST THAT ARE OBSTACLES AS OPPOSED TO GO THAT WAY.

[01:25:04]

AND NOW TOM'S VERSION, WHICH I'LL PLAY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CARD AND YOU KNOW, THIS IS MORE ABOUT THE JOURNEY THAN THE DESTINATION. AND SO IF YOU'RE TRYING TO BE EFFICIENT, I GUESS YOU CAN STRAIGHTEN EVERYTHING UP.

IF YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO ENJOY A NICE WALK AROUND THE BUILDING.

THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.

SO I THINK THERE'S ROOM FOR BOTH.

AGREED. DON'T MAKE THIS ONE DIFFICULT TO THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO BE INSIDE.

I THINK THERE'LL BE ENOUGH POPULAR ACTIVITIES GOING ON INSIDE THAT WE DON'T I MEAN, THIS IS DOING I-35 AROUND LENEXA OR COMING THROUGH ON SANTA FE AND THERE'S GOING TO BE ENOUGH ACTIVITY GOING ON IN THE BUILDING THAT HAVING PEOPLE IN THERE JUST MOVING FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER ARE GOING TO BE IN THE WAY OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE TO ENGAGE.

AND WE NEED TO GIVE THEM AN ALTERNATIVE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, AN EASY, INEVITABLE WALK AROUND AS OPPOSED TO THE MAZE FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. YEAH.

SO ORIGINALLY WE HAD DID THAT AND IT WAS REALLY CHALLENGING WITH GRADES.

YEAH. AND THEN I DON'T NEED ANOTHER ONE.

JUST THE WAY THESE LITTLE MOUNDS HERE ARE KIND OF MAKING ME GO AROUND LOOKING FOR.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A FOOT HIGH OR TWO FEET HIGH.

AND WHAT AND HOW TALL ARE THE BUSHES AND WHAT AM I GOING TO SEE? MAKE SURE THAT I'M STANDING AT THAT FIRST LITTLE GREEN PATCH THAT I SEE THAT THAT I MEAN, THE MOUND WHERE YOUR MOUSE IS RIGHT NOW IS IF IT'S VERY TALL, DOESN'T SHOW ME THERE'S A WAY OUT.

AND IT APPEARS LIKE IT MIGHT BE GOING IN A DEAD END.

BUT SO MORE FLUIDITY THROUGH THE SPACE.

I JUST YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S MY CONCERN.

I DON'T NEED ANOTHER ONE.

GOTCHA, NECESSARILY.

BUT IF I'M STANDING THERE GOING, I CAN GO IN THERE, HOW DO I GO IF I DON'T WANT TO GO IN THERE? I DON'T NEED TO BE INSIDE.

I'M PASSING THROUGH, CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY.

THERE'S A FAMOUS KANSAS QUOTE THAT SAYS, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

[LAUGHTER] SO WHO IS THE DESIGNER? AND HENCE, I THINK THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SHOW YOU SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

OKAY. THANKS FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

YOU ARE I'M SORRY I DIDN'T. YOU'RE SO QUIET DOWN THERE.

I DIDN'T SEE YOUR FINGER.

SO I SEE A CONSTRUCTION PERIOD OF ABOUT 12 MONTHS.

WILL THE FACILITY BE COMPLETELY OUT OF SERVICE DURING THAT TIME? IT'LL NEVER BE JUST BEING A GOOD SERVICE.

THERE'LL BE PARTS OF THE BUILDING TO ANSWER.

OKAY. AND THE WHOLE IDEA HERE IS, IS TO BUILD A NEW SENIOR WING AND GET THAT IN PLACE BEFORE WE ACTUALLY DEMO THE EXISTING SENIOR BUILDING.

AND THEN WORK OUR WAY WEST THROUGH THE BUILDING AND OUT THROUGH THE SITE.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS. SO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING TURNER IS NOT HERE TONIGHT, AND I APOLOGIZE, BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE GYM PRETTY MUCH THROUGHOUT. OBVIOUSLY, THERE MIGHT BE SOME ADJUSTMENTS ON HOW YOU GET IT OUT OF THAT GYM, BUT THE GYM SHOULD BE PRETTY MUCH OPEN THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. ANYONE ELSE? OKAY. THANK YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU. THIS WILL END THE RECORDED PORTION OF OUR MEETING THIS EVENING.
