Jun 20, 2023 City Council Meeting

SO CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AND ASK YOU TO JOIN US IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:25]

. THANK YOU. WE HAVE THE MINUTES FROM THE JUNE 6TH COUNCIL MEETING FOR APPROVAL THIS EVENING.

[APPROVE MINUTES]

SECOND BY COURTNEY.

ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MINUTES ARE APPROVED.

ANY MODIFICATIONS THIS EVENING?

[MODIFICATION OF AGENDA]

I WILL HAVE ONE REAL QUICKLY.

BUT FIRST WE'LL DO THE APPOINTMENT.

[APPOINTMENT]

I DID GET TO WATCH IT ONLINE LAST EVENING.

SO UNFORTUNATELY, THEY CUT OFF THE VERY FIRST MINUTES AND DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY HAD STARTED.

SO YOU WERE BRIEF AND DID A GREAT JOB.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

JOE, YOU'RE UP NEXT IN LINE WILL SERVE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND I'LL LOOK FORWARD TO MISSING A LOT OF STUFF BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO YOU CAN SPEND MORE TIME IN THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE'LL MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT TODAY.

WE ALSO HAVE HAD AN OPENING COME UP ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION DUE TO SOME ATTENDANCE ISSUES.

SO UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T CATCH THAT IN A TIMELY MANNER.

I'M ASKING TONIGHT FOR APPROVAL OF A 60 DAY EXTENSION TO ALLOW FOR A PROPER SELECTION PROCESS TO FILL THAT SEAT.

JUST A MOTION BY TOM.

SECOND BY BILL.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THANK YOU. AND JENNIFER, WOULD YOU MAKE SURE TO GET WORD OUT THAT WE'RE TAKING APPLICATIONS? WE HAVEN'T HAD AN OPENING FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

I KNOW WE HAVE SOME HISTORICAL APPLICATIONS, BUT THOSE ARE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT STALE DATED PULL WHAT WE HAVE AND IF WE IF WE CAN GET WORD OUT ON THE WEBSITE, DENISE, THAT WILL TAKE APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN GET THE PROCESS STARTED.

THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM IS PRESENTATION.

[PRESENTATIONS]

AND I'M GOING TO KICK IT OFF WITH WHERE DID NATE, NATE AND ALLOW HIM TO INTRODUCE CHESTER AND THE TEAM AND WE'LL GET OUR ANNUAL GOOD MARKS.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

NATE BLOOM WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

I HAVE CHESTER MOYER HERE FROM REUBEN BROWN.

HE'S A PARTNER THERE TO GO OVER OUR FISCAL YEAR 22 AUDIT REPORT AND THEN WE'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN.

TO GO OVER THE RESULTS OF THE EXTERNAL FINANCIAL AUDIT FOR THE CITY.

I AM CHESTER MOYER, AGAIN, THE SIGNING PARTNER FOR THE AUDIT.

THERE ARE SIX INDIVIDUALS LISTED IN HERE THAT JOINED ME ON THE AUDIT.

WE ACTUALLY HAD 12 PEOPLE WORK ON THE AUDIT AND IT TAKES A LOT OF COOPERATION BETWEEN OUR TEAM AND MANAGEMENT.

THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB BEING PREPARED FOR US.

IT'S A LOT OF WORK FOR MANAGEMENT TO EXECUTE THE AUDIT.

SO WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR COOPERATION, THEIR PREPAREDNESS.

AND THE AUDIT PROCESS REALLY BEGINS IN OCTOBER AND HERE WE ARE IN JUNE.

SO ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR, WE'RE WORKING IN SOME FORM WITH THE CITY ON THIS AUDIT, AGAIN, HIGHLIGHTING THE ACTIVITY THAT MANAGEMENT PUTS FORTH TOWARDS THIS ENDEAVOR.

SO A HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY OF WHAT WE DID ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT.

OF COURSE, WE DID WORK WITH MORE TALENT THIS YEAR THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN TO HELP COMPLETE THE AUDIT ON THE CITY SIDE, AND THAT WENT VERY SMOOTHLY.

WE ARE WE HAVE ISSUED AN UNMODIFIED OR A CLEAN OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

THAT'S THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF OPINION THAT WE OFFER.

WE DO HAVE AN EMPHASIS OF MATTER THIS YEAR FOR AN ACCOUNTING STANDARD THAT WAS NEW.

THIS YEAR, IT'S CALLED GASB 87 LEASES.

THAT WAS ALSO A LARGE ENDEAVOR FOR THE CITY TO PULL THAT TOGETHER.

MANAGEMENT DID AN EXCELLENT JOB DOING THAT.

WE DID HAVE ONE ADJUSTING JOURNAL ENTRY THAT WE NOTED DURING THE AUDIT THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED AND IS INCLUDED WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

WE DID ISSUE A MANAGEMENT LETTER.

THAT MANAGEMENT LETTER WOULD CONTAIN ANY SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES OR MATERIAL WEAKNESSES THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU.

AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY MATTERS REPORTABLE IN A MANAGEMENT LETTER.

THE SINGLE AUDIT I'LL GO THROUGH IN MORE DETAIL IN A COUPLE OF SLIDES, BUT THAT IS YOUR FEDERAL FUNDS AUDIT.

WE HAVE NO MATTERS TO REPORT THERE.

[00:05:01]

SO A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, VERY LARGE DOCUMENT.

IT'S ABOUT 200 PAGES LONG AND MANAGEMENT DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB PULLING THAT TOGETHER.

IT LOOKS REALLY NICE.

IN ADDITION TO HAVING A LOT OF INFORMATION IN IT, SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT WONDER WHAT AN EXTERNAL USER MIGHT THINK WHEN THEY LOOK AT THAT FINANCIAL INFORMATION. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THEY MIGHT DO IS ASSESS THE NEAR TERM FINANCIAL POSITION, LOOKING AT THE GENERAL FUND.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE THE GENERAL FUND HERE TRENDING OVER TIME, MOST RECENT PERIOD BEING THAT 2022 PERIOD AT AN UNASSIGNED GENERAL FUND BALANCE OF $41 MILLION, SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR.

ALSO, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE A STATISTICAL SECTION IN THE BACK THAT SHOWS TEN YEARS OF TREND DATA.

SO WHAT MIGHT A USER OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS USE WITH THAT INFORMATION? WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY MIGHT ASK IS, ARE THE CURRENT TAXPAYERS PAYING FOR AND RECEIVING THE BENEFITS CONCURRENTLY THAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR? AND ONE INDICATION OF THEM WOULD BE YOUR NET POSITION IF THAT NUMBER THAT WE SHOW AT THE BOTTOM, IF THAT'S INCREASING OVER TIME, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE SHOWING HERE WITH THE CITY, IS AN INCREASE IN THAT NUMBER OVER TIME.

SO THAT DOES INDICATE THAT YOUR CURRENT TAXPAYERS ARE RECEIVING THE BENEFITS THAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR.

THE SINGLE AUDIT IS THE FEDERAL FUNDS AUDIT THAT WE COMPLETED.

WE HAVE A HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY OF THE FUNDS EXPENDED BY THE CITY THIS PAST YEAR.

YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THOSE NUMBERS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS.

IT'S MUCH LARGER THAN THE OTHERS.

SO WE DID COMPLETE OUR FEDERAL FUNDS AUDIT ON THE HIGHWAY PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION MAJOR PROGRAM.

AND OUR TESTING DID WAS THOROUGH AND DID INDICATE NO COMPLIANCE ISSUES AND NO INTERNAL CONTROL MATTERS TO REPORT TO YOU.

SO A SUCCESSFUL AUDIT THERE THAT DOES GET ALSO SUBMITTED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THE AUDIT THE CITY.

THANKS, CHESTER.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THIS EVENING? GREAT. ANOTHER HEALTHY REVIEW AND REPORT.

THANK YOU. I THINK YOU'VE BEEN ON OUR TEAM NOW FOR FIVE YEARS.

A BIT LONGER. 15 YEARS.

I'LL LET YOU DISCLOSE IF YOU CHOOSE.

SO THANK YOU.

NATE, WOULD YOU INTRODUCE YOUR TEAM? THEY COME OUT ABOUT ONCE A YEAR.

AND OTHERWISE, UNLESS THERE'S A PAYROLL ISSUE OR A QUESTION, WE DON'T SEE THE GROUP.

SO USUALLY I'M UP HERE REPORTING GOOD NEWS.

HOPEFULLY. RIGHT. MY FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE.

BUT IT'S REALLY NATHAN GOLD, DEPUTY CFO AND OUR DEPARTMENT, AND MEGAN STERLING, THE ACCOUNTING MANAGER.

THEY'RE REALLY THE TWO THAT MAKE IT HAPPEN ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE FINANCE TEAM.

NATHAN WAS WITH US ABOUT THREE MONTHS BEFORE HE GOT THROWN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE AUDIT, AND MEGAN WAS IN HER POSITION JUST OVER A YEAR.

SO TREMENDOUS JOB BY BOTH OF THEM.

AS CHESTER SAID, WE'RE IN REALLY GOOD FINANCIAL POSITION, SERVING OUR BUDGET TALKS FOR FISCAL YEAR 20 FOR NEXT WEEK.

SO YOU GET ONE DONE AND START OVER, RIGHT? SUPER. WELL, THANKS TEAM.

AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE NEW FACES AND JUST KEEP THE TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE IN REPORTING MOVING FORWARD IN CHESTER.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

NEXT ITEM THIS EVENING IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA, WHICH ARE ITEMS ONE THROUGH NINE.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

EACH MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY FOR REVIEW OR CONSIDERED TO BE ROUTINE AND WILL NOT ONE BY ONE MOTION WITH NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION.

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

WE HAVE A MOTION BY DAN SECOND BY JULIE.

ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? CONSENT AGENDA HAS BEEN APPROVED.

I'M BEHIND ON MY TAPES.

TURNING AND SCROLLING.

ITEM NUMBER TEN IS AN APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR A RETAIL AND DAYCARE USE FOR CANYON CREEK COMMERCIAL LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND SHADY

[BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS]

STEPHANIE THANK YOU, MAYOR, AND GOOD EVENING.

COUNCIL. LET ME PULL UP THE POWERPOINT FOR THIS EVENING.

STEPHANIE KESSLER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

AS MENTIONED, OUR FIRST PROJECT THIS EVENING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ON THE REGULAR AGENDA IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR CANYON CREEK COMMERCIAL.

ON THE SCREEN NOW, YOU'LL SEE THE LOCATION MAP AND OUR SITE IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE RED OUTLINE HERE TODAY.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE DEVELOPED HERE WITH SHADY BEND ROAD COMING DOWN.

THERE WE GO TO THE SOUTH HERE THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN HERE.

AND THEN THERE ARE SOME HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH.

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

THE SITE IS ZONED CP ONE, WHICH IS A LOW LEVEL COMMERCIAL TYPE ZONING DISTRICT.

[00:10:01]

AGAIN, THAT'S THE MIZE HILL DEVELOPMENT.

AND THAT FIRST PHASE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY WITH A SECOND PHASE IN THE FUTURE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SHADY BEND ROAD.

I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT BACK BEFORE MAYA'S HILL WAS APPROVED, THIS IS A MAP FROM 2020 THAT SHOWS THE ZONING IN THE AREA.

AND OUR SUBJECT SITE IS IN JUST THE TOP CORNER HERE WHERE MY MOUSE IS ON THE SCREEN.

AND AS PART OF THAT, MAYA'S HILL DEVELOPMENT, THIS LARGER CP ONE AND CP COMMERCIALLY ZONED AREA WAS REZONED TO FIT THAT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN.

SO JUST A LITTLE HISTORY HERE.

MOST OF THIS SUBJECT AREA USED TO BE SLATED FOR COMMERCIAL TYPE USES, AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE.

AND OVER TIME IT'S BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE MARKET AND THAT'S WHY WE SEE THAT SORT OF MIXTURE OF USES NOW WITH OUR CURRENT ZONING WITH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

I WILL ALSO NOTE THAT OUR SUBJECT SITE THIS EVENING IS NOTED AS A NODE WITHIN THE VISION 2040 PLAN.

SO IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR STAFF AND FOR THE COMMUNITY TO RETAIN SOME COMMERCIAL AT THIS PARTICULAR CORNER.

THE SITE IS JUST OVER FOUR ACRES.

AND NOW YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN A CLOSER AERIAL OF THAT SITE AND THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN LAID OUT ON THE AERIAL IMAGE FOR CONTEXT.

AS I MENTIONED, IT'S ZONED CP ONE, SO ANTICIPATE COMMERCIAL USES HERE.

THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED ON THE SITE PLAN A LABEL OF DAYCARE ON THIS IRREGULAR SHAPED BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE SITE AND JUST RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USES SLATED FOR THE MIDDLE BUILDING AND THE WEST BUILDING.

THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 24,000FT² OF SPACE BETWEEN THE THREE BUILDINGS COMBINED.

THE SITE IS ACCESSED ON PREY STAR PARKWAY ON THE WEST AND SHADY BEND ROAD ON THE EAST.

SO YOU CAN DRIVE RIGHT THROUGH IT INTO THIS PARKING AREA.

THERE ARE TWO TRASH ENCLOSURES INCLUDED ON THIS SITE, PLAN ONE IN THIS AREA HERE AND ONE THERE.

AS I MENTIONED, THERE IS A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH OF THIS.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE LOT LAYOUT IN THE STREETS THAT ARE ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTED HERE.

LIKE I MENTIONED, SHADY BEND ROAD IS IN AND THEY ARE WORKING ON THOSE FIRST HOMES DOWN THERE.

EXISTING SIDEWALK AND PROPOSED SIDEWALK IS SHOWN HERE ON THE PLAN.

I DO WANT TO NOTE ALSO, IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE ON HERE.

THERE'S SOME DARK GRAY ON HERE ALONG PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY THAT'S EXISTING.

SO THIS IS WELL CONNECTED.

THERE IS SOME NEW SIDEWALK GOING IN WITH THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE YELLOW DASH LINE HERE ALONG SHADY BEND ROAD AND THEN ALSO OUT THROUGH THIS CUL DE SAC CONNECTING TO THE TRAIL ALONG PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

AND THEN THERE WOULD BE NEW SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS BASICALLY IN FRONT OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING, AS YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A COUPLE DEVIATIONS AS PART OF THIS PLAN.

AND I WANT TO NOTE THOSE ON THE SCREEN NOW.

THE DEVIATIONS HAVE TO DO WITH THE SPECIAL SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

SO PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY IS ONE OF THE ROADS IN THE CITY THAT WE REQUIRE AN EXTENDED SETBACK FROM THE STREET AND FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY LINE. SO IN THIS CASE, OUR CP ONE ZONING SETBACK IS TYPICALLY 30FT.

THE STAR PARKWAY SETBACK IS 50FT, SO IT'S AN EXTRA 20FT BASICALLY ON TOP OF WHAT THE ZONING WOULD HAVE REQUIRED.

SO YOU SEE HERE THERE'S A COUPLE AREAS WHERE THE BUILDING ENCROACHES AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE MORE IN A SECOND.

AND THEN WITH THE DAYCARE, THE PROPOSED PLANS FOR THE DAYCARE ALSO INCLUDE ENCROACHING INTO THAT AREA WITH THE FENCED PLAYGROUND AREA.

SO FIRST, I'LL TALK ABOUT THE BUILDING ENCROACHMENT.

THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 1000FT², 1100 SQUARE FEET OR SO OF THIS WEST BUILDING THAT WOULD ENCROACH.

THIS IS ABOUT 16FT OUT INTO THE SETBACK.

SO YOU STILL HAVE OVER 30FT BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THIS BUILDING AND THE PROPERTY LINE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY TRAIL FOLLOWS PRETTY CLOSELY TO THAT PROPERTY LINE.

BUT IN NO WAY IS THAT ENCROACHING UPON THE TRAIL OR THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THE BUILDING IS STILL GOING TO BE AT LEAST 30 TO 35FT BACK IN BOTH OF THESE INSTANCES FOR THESE ENCROACHMENTS.

OVER HERE, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S JUST A CORNER OF THE SECOND MIDDLE BUILDING HERE THAT WOULD ENCROACH, AND THAT'S ABOUT 238FT² BY OUR MEASUREMENTS JUST FOR THAT SMALL CORNER THERE.

I WILL ALSO NOTE THERE IS A PATIO OR PAVEMENT ENCROACHMENT IN A COUPLE AREAS RIGHT HERE PERTAINING TO AN OUTDOOR SEATING AREA THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR A FUTURE TENANT IN THIS BUILDING.

[00:15:02]

SO THOSE ARE THE PROPOSED DEVIATIONS TO THE SETBACK REQUIREMENT.

WHEN STAFF IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION EVALUATED THESE DEVIATION REQUESTS, WE FOUND THEM TO BE ACCEPTABLE.

WE DO BELIEVE THAT THE BUILDING ORIENTATION IS APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED FOR THIS ODD SHAPED PARCEL AND WILL BE WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT ON ADDITIONAL FINE TUNING OF THE LANDSCAPING AND THE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS AT FINAL PLAN STAGE AS WELL TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY CONCERNS WITH THE BUILDING LOCATION OR THE SETBACK ARE MITIGATED WITH EITHER EXTRA LANDSCAPING OR MAYBE BERMING OR ADDITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BUILDING LOOKS VERY NICE FROM PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AS WELL.

HERE'S ANOTHER GRAPHIC THAT SHOWS SOME MORE DIMENSIONS IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.

LIKE I MENTIONED HERE, ABOUT A 16 FOOT ENCROACHMENT FOR THIS WEST BUILDING AND A 15 FOOT ENCROACHMENT HERE FOR JUST THAT CORNER.

YEAH. HERE IS THE PRELIMINARY LANDSCAPE PLAN.

YOU CAN SEE ON HERE, THERE ARE MANY TREES PLANTED AND THE SHRUBS ARE NOT OUTLINED IN GREEN.

SO DON'T LOSE THOSE BACK IN THE GRAY HERE.

BUT THERE ARE MANY TREES THAT WILL BE FRONTING BOTH PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY HERE AND ALONG THE ROUNDABOUT INTO SHADY BED.

WE DO HAVE RESIDENTIAL ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE HERE.

SO WE HAVE THIS GREAT BUFFER AREA BETWEEN THAT WILL BE INCLUDING TREES AND SHRUBS AND MAKING SURE THAT THE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.

HERE ARE THE PRELIMINARY ELEVATIONS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER THING THAT WE'LL BE WORKING ON IN MORE DETAIL AT THE FINAL PLAN STAGE.

THEY DO PROPOSE TO USE STONE VENEER AND STUCCO IN DARK AND LIGHT NEUTRAL COLORS.

AND ULTIMATELY STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE DAYCARE AND COMMERCIAL USES ON THE SITE WITH THE PROPOSED DEVIATIONS.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

STEPHANIE. I NOTE IN THE PACKET BILL RECEIVED A COUPLE EMAILS FROM NEIGHBORS.

DID ANYONE ELSE RECEIVE COMMENTS? THAT NEEDS TO BE DISCLOSED? OKAY. THANK YOU.

UH, QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE.

APPLICANT IS HERE.

WE'LL ASK YOU TO MAKE COMMENTS OR PRESENTATION IF YOU WISH.

ONCE WE GET THROUGH THIS. SO DON'T GET TOO DEEP JUST YET.

DAN, I JUST WANTED A QUICK CLARIFICATION, STEPHANIE.

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FOR EXAMPLE, THE WEST BUILDING TO THE SIDEWALK, IS THAT THE 20FT? WHAT'S THE DISTANCE TO THE SIDEWALK? SO THE DISTANCE TO THE SIDEWALK ON THIS GRAPHIC HERE, YOU CAN SEE THIS LINE THAT I'M FOLLOWING HERE IS THE 50 FOOT SETBACK.

SO BETWEEN THIS LINE AND THIS LINE IS 50FT.

AND YOU CAN SEE THIS SORT OF TAPERS NEXT TO THE SIDEWALK HERE.

I DON'T KNOW THAT EXACT DIMENSION.

I WOULD SAY IT COMES AS CLOSE AS PROBABLY A FOOT BEHIND THIS BOX HERE AND RUNS PRETTY CLOSE WITHIN MAYBE 2 TO 3FT ALONG HERE AND THEN MORE PROBABLY AROUND FIVE FEET IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA.

OKAY. TO THE SIDEWALK.

AND THEN THERE'S SPACE BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND THE CURB.

SO THERE'S ANYWHERE FROM AN EXTRA 1 TO 5 ISH FEET ON TOP OF THE 50 FOOT SETBACK MINUS THE 16FT.

OKAY. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING.

THANK YOU, BILL.

SO, STEPHANIE, DO THE MATH FOR ME.

WHAT ARE WE, 34, 35FT FROM THE JOGGING TRAIL? IT DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING AT SPECIFICALLY ON THE TRAIL.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

I THINK THERE WERE DEVIATIONS AROUND THE DAYCARE.

ALSO, COULD YOU REVIEW THOSE AGAIN, PLEASE? SO THE DAYCARE IS PROPOSED TO HAVE THEIR FENCE AND PLAYGROUND ENCROACHING IN THIS YELLOW ZONE THAT YOU SEE HERE.

SO THIS LINE, YOU SEE, THAT'S THE RED COLOR WOULD BE THAT 50 FOOT SETBACK.

IT KIND OF AWKWARDLY ENDS RIGHT HERE AROUND THE ROUNDABOUT BECAUSE AT SOME POINT, THE PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY, 50 FOOT SETBACK ENDS AND THEN THE STANDARD 30 FOOT SETBACK ALONG SHADY BENDS STARTS.

SO IT MAKES FOR KIND OF A WEIRD CURVE SETBACK REQUIREMENT SITUATION HERE.

BUT IN ORDER TO UTILIZE MORE OUTDOOR SPACE FOR THE DAYCARE, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO BRING IT OUT TO THE 30 FOOT SETBACK HERE.

SO THERE WOULD STILL BE 30FT WHERE THERE WAS NO DEVELOPMENT AND THEY WOULD START THAT FENCE BACK HERE.

WE HAVE TALKED TO THE DEVELOPER, THE APPLICANT ABOUT FENCING AND STYLE OF FENCING, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN PREFERRED

[00:20:07]

SO WE'LL BE WORKING OUT THOSE DETAILS AS PART OF THE FINAL PLAN AS WELL.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

THE FENCING I'VE SEEN WROUGHT IRON AT DAYCARES, NOT AS VISIBLE AND BUSY OF AN INTERSECTION AS THIS.

OF COURSE. I'M THINKING OF THE ONE UP BY BLUE MOOSE, BUT WE'RE BEING ASKED TO GIVE AN AWFULLY BIG ENCROACHMENT.

AND SO I THINK YOU WOULD PAY VERY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE THE DAYCARES IN MY WORLD IS CATCHING A BREAK.

AND SO IF IT'S NOT RIGHT IRON AND IT'S SOLID, IT NEEDS TO BE REAL ATTRACTIVE, I THINK.

OKAY. SO THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

THANK YOU, BILL. JOE? [INAUDIBLE]. YEAH.

ON THE TOPIC OF THE DEVIATIONS, SO TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE, ARE THERE OTHER ENCROACHMENTS AS YOU GO ALONG PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY? ARE THERE OTHER MAJOR ENCROACHMENTS OR THAT YOU CAN THINK OF? AND I GUESS SECOND TO THAT, IS IT STAFF'S OPINION THAT THIS ENCROACHMENT IS NOT GOING TO LOOK OR DEVIATION? THIS IS NOT GOING TO LOOK UNUSUAL WHEN YOU'RE GOING BY AND USED TO 50FT ON EACH SIDE TO HAVE THIS AREA CLOSER? THAT'S CORRECT. STAFF'S EVALUATION IS THIS WOULD NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE FEELING AND THE ESTHETICS OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY RECENT DEVIATIONS THAT WE'VE GRANTED ALONG PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY IN THIS VICINITY.

I DO KNOW THAT WE HAD SOME MORE RECENT PROJECTS ALONG RENNER THAT WERE GRANTED DEVIATIONS.

THOSE WERE PRIMARILY FOR PARKING RATHER THAN ACTUAL STRUCTURES, THOUGH.

OKAY. THANK YOU. TOM, THANK YOU.

I THINK THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS IN PLAY HERE.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK TO THE NORTH, THERE ARE ZADA DRIVE.

YOU'VE GOT A RESIDENTIAL LOT THAT IS, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD BUILD A FENCE, OBVIOUSLY, IN THE BACK YARD AND IT WOULD BE FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK.

THIS IS A TRAIL THAT'S ON THIS SIDE.

SO NOT ONLY DO YOU GOT THE PAVEMENT, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THE TRAIL IN THERE ALSO.

I THINK THAT'S PRETTY ADEQUATE AS FAR AS DAYCARE.

THESE ARE LICENSED BY THE STATE AND THE STATE RUNS THEIR CHILD COUNT BASED ON HOW MUCH OUTSIDE AREA YOU HAVE AVAILABLE. SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE PRETTY GOOD SIZED YARD IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DAYCARE BECAUSE THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE BEYOND WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE FOR DAYCARE SUPPORT.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE GRASSY AREA.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE A FENCE ON IT.

BUT STILL, I DON'T THINK IT'S TOO MUCH TO GIVE UP, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE THE SETBACKS PLUS THE TRAIL THERE.

AND I UNDERSTAND WHY THAT'S HAPPENING.

SO I FIND THIS A PRETTY UNIQUE SITE.

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THESE SITES IS, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO GET SO FAR AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE A CURB CUT.

AND SO BEING ON THE QUOTE UNQUOTE, HARD CORNER ISN'T AS GOOD AS IT USED TO BE.

AND WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE WE GOT A DOUBLE LOADED SETBACKS ON THIS SITE AND THEN SOME ADDITIONAL ONES.

BUT THE ISSUE IS THIS WE HAVE THESE PLANNING STANDARDS IN PLACE AND WE ALLOW STAFF TO THINK THROUGH THESE THINGS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD BE MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO US IF IT WASN'T PRETTY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND UNDERSTOOD MORE THAN WHAT WE CAN SIT HERE FOR 15 MINUTES IN OUR LITTLE REVIEW AND COME TO THIS.

THEY'VE SPENT A LONG TIME TO THIS AND I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT THAT WE GIVE STAFF THAT POWER TO CONSIDER THESE THINGS.

AND THERE'S MORE THAN JUST SETBACKS.

THERE'S PARKING AND LANDSCAPING AND BUILDING MATERIALS.

AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, SO IF YOU HAVE A STAFF THAT YOU TRUST, LET THEM DO IT.

[00:25:06]

JULIE, MORE OF A CURIOSITY BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE DAYCARE FENCE MAKES SENSE WHEN YOU OVERLAY IT WITH THE LANDSCAPING.

JUST SINCE WE'VE TALKED SO MUCH LATELY ABOUT FENCING AND THE DEGREE OF OPENNESS AND HEIGHT, IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO DAYCARES THAT WOULD GIVE THEM AN EXCEPTION TO THOSE THINGS? OBVIOUSLY IT WANTS TO BE A TALLER FENCE.

DOES IT MATTER IF IT'S PRIVATE OR OPEN? WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS, IF THERE'S ANY CHANGES TO THAT RELATED TO A DAYCARE? SO THERE'S NO USE RELATED ALLOWANCES OR DEVIATIONS BUILT INTO THE FENCE CODE.

IT WOULD BE VERY CUMBERSOME TO DO THAT PROBABLY, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE WOULD LOOK AT AT FINAL PLAN STAGE.

IS THERE AN ADDITIONAL DEVIATION OR GIVE AND TAKE OF SOME KIND? AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT, IS TO GRANT THE DEVIATION WITH THE THOUGHT THAT THE FENCE IS GOING TO BE AT THE 30 FOOT SETBACK INSTEAD OF AT THE 50.

THANK YOU. BILL, ONE MORE.

YEAH. PARDON ME, JOE.

JOE TRIGGERED ANOTHER QUESTION OF MINE.

THE BUILDING THAT'S THERE AT THE WEST.

THE WEST END WITH THE 16 FOOT DEVIATION IS THAT THE BACK OF THE BUILDING OR A SIDE OF THE BUILDING? WHAT I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

THE ENTRANCE WOULD PROBABLY BE ALONG THE SIDEWALK HERE.

SO THAT WILL BE WINDOWS AND NICE ARCHITECTURE ALONG THAT WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT FOR ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENTS ALONG THE PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY SIDES OF THE BUILDINGS AS WELL.

SO IT'S GOT CURB APPEAL FROM ALL SIDES.

GOOD. THANK YOU. COME BY MY OWN RULE NOW AND TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I PROBABLY SHOULD.

BUT I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT WAS HELD AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

IF YOU READ ALL THOSE MINUTES AND FRANKLY, I HAD AN EXCHANGE WITH THE PLANNING DIRECTOR TODAY ABOUT THESE VERY THINGS.

I AGREE STAFF HAS HAD A LONG TIME TO DIGEST AND REVIEW THIS.

AND WE DO TRUST THEM.

AND IN MY MIND, THAT MAKES IT OKAY, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY, THOUGH, TO HAVE OPINIONS AND CHANGE THINGS FROM TIME TO TIME.

I WANT TO CLARIFY ONE THING.

TOM MENTIONED A TRAIL AS ROH.

THE SIDEWALK AND THERE'S NOT BOTH.

CORRECT. IT'S THE JOGGING TRAIL ON THE NORTH, BUT NOT ON THIS SIDE.

OKAY. RIGHT. SO THAT'S NOT MORE SPACE THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE CONFUSED WITH.

AND THE APPLICANT TALKED COME OUT AND TALK ABOUT ALL THIS AND THE FENCING.

I WENT AS DEEP AS ASKING STAFF, WELL, WE GOT MORE PARKING THAN WE ARE REQUIRING.

CAN WE SHOVE THAT BUILDING OUT OF THE RIGHT OF WAY? AND THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY YEAH, BUT WE DON'T PLAN FROM UP HERE AND PROBABLY SHOULDN'T.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S I'M MORE CONCERNED, FRANKLY, ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT CORNER IN THE FENCE THAN I AM THE BUILDING ENCROACHING, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. BECAUSE AND I'M LISTENING TONIGHT AND I'M TORN BECAUSE IN MY MIND IT SHOULD NOT BE A SIX FOOT WOODEN FENCE HIDING KIDS IN THE DAY CARE.

BY THE SAME TOKEN, IF YOU'RE GOING AROUND THE ROUNDABOUT 35 MILES AN HOUR THAN 25 AND YOU'RE LOOKING OVER AT THE KIDS, MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE HIDDEN FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE.

I DON'T KNOW.

I FRANKLY WAS GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHY DON'T WE REQUIRE A WROUGHT IRON TYPE FENCE TO KEEP THAT INTERCHANGE OPEN AND THE FENCE OUT BECAUSE THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A FENCE AROUND THE REST OF THE PROJECT.

AND WHILE THE NEIGHBORS CAN PUT UP FENCES, I THINK WE HAVE A SCHEME APPROVED OR WHATEVER FOR STEAM PLAN FOR PRAIRIE STAR THAT IF YOU PUT UP A FENCE, IT HAS TO BE CERTAIN THINGS, CORRECT? DO WE HAVE THAT ON PRAIRIE STAR LIKE WE DO A LOT OF ARTERIALS OR NOT? OKAY. SO IT CAN BE RANDOM.

SO FAR IT HASN'T HAPPENED.

BUT I THINK HAVING A WOODEN FENCE JUST ON THAT CORNER, THAT DOESN'T GO AHEAD AND YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT THE RETAIL BEHIND A FENCE.

SO IF IT'S NOT A UNIFORM FENCE, IT LOOKS REALLY STRANGE.

WROUGHT IRON IS LESS IN YOUR FACE THAN A SIX FOOT WOODEN FENCE.

SO I'M ALMOST OF THE OPINION OF ADDING OUR OWN STIPULATION THAT IT NEEDS TO BE WROUGHT IRON OR SOMETHING YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH, ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAD ABOUT VIEWS AND FENCING AND BLOCKING AND FORTRESSES AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON A CORNER FOR ONE LITTLE SPOT.

IT'S JUST GOING TO LOOK OUT OF PLACE, I THINK.

SO YOU GET TO ADDRESS THAT WHEN YOU COME UP, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT.

I ALSO MY SCREEN KEEPS RAISING UP.

THERE'S A COUPLE OPPOSITION LETTERS IN HERE.

DID CHRIS ALLOW PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION? I KNOW HE DID ON SOMETHING.

I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS THIS ONE.

SO, YES, IT'S TYPICAL FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CHAIR TO ASK, OKAY, IF IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING AND HE SEES PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE, HE ASKS IF OKAY AND I'M NOT SURE WHO'S ALL HERE FOR WHAT RIGHT NOW, SO I'M GOING TO INVITE THE APPLICANT TO COME UP.

WE MAY HAVE MODIFIED YOUR PRESENTATION A LITTLE BIT SINCE WE SINCE YOU ARRIVED, BUT AND THEN ALL IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE, I'D ASK YOU TO KIND OF BE PREPARED TO COME UP AND TALK

[00:30:07]

JUST WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING REALLY BADLY.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE I RECEIVED YOUR QUESTION APPROPRIATELY WITH THE FENCE THEME ON ON PRAIRIE STAR.

SUBDIVISIONS TYPICALLY DO CARRY A CONTINUOUS THEMED FENCE.

IF THAT WAS YOUR QUESTION, IT'S NOT TYPICALLY RANDOM AND JUST TO ADD OUR DISCUSSION AROUND THE FENCE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A DAYCARE OPERATOR THAT WE KNOW OF. AND OUR EXPERIENCE IS THAT OPERATORS HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR FENCE TYPES AROUND ALL THESE THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WE HAVE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S AND COUNCIL'S DIRECTION TO MAKE SURE THAT'S AN APPROPRIATELY DESIGNED FENCE, AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY WHAT WE PLAN TO DO WITH THE FINAL PLAN. WE JUST PREFER NOT TO BE KIND OF LOCKED INTO ONE TYPE OF FENCE RIGHT NOW WITHOUT AN OPERATOR TODAY.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND I KNOW BILL CITED THE ONE AT BLUE MOOSE.

THE ONE THAT COMES TO MIND FOR ME IS THE ONE OUT BY THE CHAMBER OFFICES WITH LANDSCAPING.

YOU CAN DO SOME PRIVACY THINGS OF THAT NATURE AROUND WROUGHT IRON JUST AS WELL AS YOU CAN AROUND WOODEN.

BUT IT JUST WILL FEEL I MEAN, POINT TAKEN, I WON'T PUT A STIPULATION ON IT UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO, BUT JULIE MIGHT WANT TO. BUT MY QUESTION AND NO ONE WOULD DO THIS BUT LIKE IF THE OPERATOR SAYS, WELL, MY STRATEGY IS RAZOR WIRE, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD PREVENT US FROM SAYING, NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE RAZOR WIRE, THE FENCE CODE WOULD.

YEAH, YEAH.

I THINK YOU'VE HEARD IT TWO LEVELS NOW.

AND IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE HEARD ARTICULATED AND AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE AN APPLICANT YET, SO BUT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO COME BACK TO US.

IF IT'S IF YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE DISPLEASURE UP HERE BASED ON SOMETHING THAT GETS BUILT THAT WE CAN'T ANTICIPATE WITHOUT AN APPLICANT.

COURTNEY I WAS GOING TO WAIT, BUT I AS I WAS TRYING TO GATHER MY THOUGHTS AROUND THIS FENCE PROCESS, BECAUSE I GUESS MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS, WAS THERE A REASON WHY WE POSITIONED THE PARKING LOT ON THE SOUTH SIDE RATHER THAN THE NORTH SIDE? SO IN THIS PARTICULAR UNIQUELY SHAPED LOT, I THINK THAT LENDS ITSELF BEST IN ORDER TO NOT ONLY BE.

MOST ACCESSIBLE VIA THE CURB CUTS.

AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU HAVE TO POSITION THE CURB CUTS TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY A CERTAIN DISTANCE BETWEEN OTHER INTERSECTIONS.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GOT BOTH ROUNDABOUTS HERE.

AND THEN THE PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY ACCESS POINT FALLS PRETTY MUCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO ROUNDABOUTS ON CANYON CREEK AND SHADY BEND.

SO IN ORDER TO POSITION JUST THE ACCESS TO THE SITE, HAVING THE PARKING IN THE MIDDLE OR SORT OF TO THE SOUTH OF THE BUILDINGS WAS APPROPRIATE SITE PLANNING TECHNIQUE.

IN THIS CASE, IF THE PARKING WERE TO BE ORIENTED WHERE THE BUILDINGS ARE AND IT WAS ALL FLIPPED, YOU WOULD ALSO END UP WITH THE BACK OF THE BUILDING RIGHT ALONG ALL OF THE RESIDENCES HERE AND POTENTIALLY MORE NOISE OR MORE LIGHT.

AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH MORE OF A BUFFER ZONE.

AND I THINK WE'RE ALSO GOING TO GET A NICE SORT OF MORE URBAN FEEL BY HAVING THE BUILDINGS CLOSER TO THE STREET AND FRONTING THE STREET.

IT ALSO MAY PROVIDE BETTER SIGNAGE TO THE TENANTS IN THE BUILDING TO IF THEY WISH TO HAVE WALL SIGNS.

SO THAT'S A PLUS FOR VISIBILITY FOR MARKETING TO TENANTS AS WELL.

I WAS GOING TO HOLD OFF ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THIS FENCE, BUT I THINK MY FIRST THOUGHT AROUND POSITIONING THE DAYCARE ON THAT CORNER WITH AN OPEN FENCE WOULD BE MORE ESTHETIC FOR WHAT WE WOULD DO NORMALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A PLEASING CORNER AROUND THAT ROUNDABOUT.

BUT AS A PARENT, I DON'T KNOW THAT I WANT MY KIDS TO BE PLAYING OUTSIDE AND EVERYBODY TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE BY AND SEE THE KIDS OUT THERE PLAYING ALL DAY LONG TO ONE FOR SAFETY, ONE FOR SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN, TOO.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OTHER DAYCARES THAT ARE IN PARKING LOTS THAT, YOU KNOW, HAVE SIDE YARDS AND THEY ALL PLAY, BUT IT'S A LITTLE MORE LESS OPEN TRAFFIC, LESS BOULEVARD ISH. AND SO I'M WAS WANTING TO GATHER, YOU KNOW, MAYBE IF IT WAS FLIPPED THAT IT WOULDN'T BE SO EXPOSED FOR THE KIDS TO BE PLAYING OUTSIDE ON THIS MAIN ARTERIAL.

AND THAT COULD CERTAINLY MAKE SENSE, I THINK.

THEN YOU'RE LOOKING INTO THE PARKING LOT FROM THE MAIN STREETS ON PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND SHADY BEND, AND SO IT MAKES FOR A MORE CONCEALED PARKING LOT.

AND I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY PREFER TO SEE BUILDINGS RATHER THAN CARS TOO.

SO THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE BUILDINGS WERE ORIENTED, HOW THEY WERE JUST TORN.

THAT'S ALL. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT TO ADDRESS WHY THEY PLACED THINGS WHERE THEY WHERE THEY DID.

[00:35:06]

SO PERFECT. MY NAME IS JOE HATZFELD.

I'M WITH KIMLEY-HORN.

WE'RE AT 805 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, SUITE 150IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.

ZIP CODE 64105.

AND MY DIRECT NUMBER OR AND EMAIL.

I'LL GIVE YOU MY EMAIL JUST PLEASE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.

IS JOE HATZFELD AT KIMLEY-HORN DOT COM AND MY NUMBER IS (816) 683-7202.

SO WE'RE DOING THE ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THIS PROJECT AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO STAFF'S PRESENTATION, SO I AM JUST HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE.

BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT THOUGH, I WILL ADDRESS HOW WE LAID OUT THE SITE.

ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THAT IT WAS THIS WAY AS WELL AND WE WORKED WITH STAFF ON THIS WAS TO PREVENT CUT THRUS, TO PREVENT QUICK CUT THRUS FROM PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY TO SHADY BEND ROAD. IF WE WOULD HAVE FLIPPED THE BUILDINGS TO THE SOUTH SIDE AS WELL AS WE DIDN'T WANT RESIDENTIAL LOTS TO BE LOOKING AT THE BACKS OF BUILDINGS.

ALSO DIDN'T WANT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TO BE LOOKING INTO A DAYCARE FOR THE SAME REASONS AS THE DRIVING BY AS WELL AS IF WE WOULD HAVE PLACED THE BUILDINGS ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WE WOULD HAVE HAD CUT THRUS EXCUSE ME, WE WOULD HAVE HAD CUT THRUS THAT GO FROM PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY WITH PARKING AND LANDSCAPE ISLANDS ALONG EACH SIDE, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ACCESSIBLE AS A ALTERNATE ROUTE FROM GOING THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT.

SO OUR ORIGINAL DESIGN HAD A SLIP THROUGH, IS WHAT THEY CALLED IT, EXCUSE ME, A SLIP THROUGH THAT WENT FROM PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY TO SHADY MEN ROAD, AND WE ADDED THAT PARKING ON THE SOUTH SIDE TO DISSUADE DRIVERS FROM TAKING THAT ALTERNATE ROUTE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

CRAIG. STEPHANIE, CAN YOU PUT THE LANDSCAPE PLAN UP AGAIN? I THINK WHAT I SEE HERE ARE IN THE GREENER TREES.

BUT THE OTHERS, THE GRAY OR BUSHES AROUND THAT FENCE.

SO YOU SCREEN THE FENCE PRETTY WELL WITH LANDSCAPING.

THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. ANY FENCE COMMENTS.

SO OR IS THAT BEYOND YOUR AUTHORITY TONIGHT? I WILL NOT PROMISE ANYTHING, BUT I WILL PROMISE THAT WE WILL WORK WITH STAFF FOR THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JOE? THANK YOU.

AS I MENTIONED, ANY PUBLIC HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE GOVERNING BODY, I'D ASK YOU TO COME FORWARD NOW.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE YOUR EXPLANATION.

I THINK IT MADE SENSE.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT. DO I WANT A BACKYARD WITH SCREAMING KIDS AND THIS IS A PRETTY SIZABLE DEAL OR DO I WANT TRAFFIC? AND AS A HOMEOWNER, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO DEFAULT TO PUT IT OUT ON THE STREET AS OPPOSED TO IN MY BACKYARD.

SO I GET THAT AND THE CHAT THROUGH.

I MEAN, WE'VE ALL DONE IT.

WE KNOW WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO, BUT IF WE OPEN THE DOOR, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

WE SEE THAT THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS FROM CORVERA TO 87TH AND ALL KINDS OF PLACES AROUND THE CITY FROM SOME FOLKS.

SO WHAT ARE YOU DONE, DAN? GO RIGHT AHEAD. I'LL WAIT AND DO IT LAST.

OKAY. THANKS. JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

I IT SOUNDS LIKE FROM STAFF AND I THINK FROM OURSELVES, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE WE'RE HAVING WITH TAKING THE 2040 QUESTION AROUND NEIGHBORHOOD NODES AND MOST OF THE NODES THAT WE KIND OF MAPPED OUT OVER TIME AND WORKING ON THE COMP PLAN AND SO FORTH.

THERE ARE THINGS LIKE THIS.

THERE'S NEIGHBORS THIS WAY, THERE'S PARKWAYS, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON.

SO I THINK THIS FEELS LIKE A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE OF HAVING TO SIT DOWN AND THINK THROUGH HOW WILL WE MAKE THE NODE WORK? BECAUSE WE'RE ADAMANT ABOUT THE NODES.

WE WANT THESE KIND OF PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO GATHER AND SO FORTH.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED TO KIND OF SET THE STAGE AS WE GO FORWARD.

SO I'D LIKE TO COMPLIMENT STAFF AND THE DEVELOPER IN TERMS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY IN AN UNUSUAL LOCATION TO MAKE IT WORK.

SO THANKS FOR THE TIME AND THE ENERGY LOOKS GOOD TO ME.

COURTNEY I HAVE TO SAY THAT WHEN I SAW THIS PLAN, I WAS SUPER EXCITED ABOUT DAYCARE GOING IN BECAUSE IT'S MUCH NEEDED.

AND THAT'S WHAT I HEAR FROM RESIDENTS IS THAT THERE'S A LACK OF DAYCARE AND HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS MOSTLY, BUT THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE.

[00:40:05]

AND I THINK IT COULD BE REMEDIED WITH SOME LANDSCAPING AND MAYBE A DENSER LANDSCAPING PLAN TO HELP WITH THAT.

SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT'S COME.

POINT OF CLARIFICATION, WILL THIS AUTOMATICALLY COME TO US WITH FINAL PLAN OR NOT? NO, IT WILL GO TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

YOU CAN ALWAYS PULL IT UP IF YOU LIKE.

OKAY. SO WE'LL JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, WATCH WATCH THAT FOR THAT STEP.

TOM, DID YOU.

WELL, I JUST THOUGHT I PUT ONE MORE CAP ON THIS.

I THINK THE PLAN IS IS FINE.

BUT I THINK THE REAL BEAUTY OF THIS PLAN IS GOING TO COME FORTH BETWEEN NOW AND FINAL IF WE DON'T GIVE STAFF THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE DEALS AND WHAT OUR DEALS DEALS ARE LIKE BEING ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

THE STAFF EXTRACTS SO MUCH MORE FROM PLANNING PROCESS.

IF THEY HAVE THIS LEVERAGE OR THESE TOOLS, THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS PLAN, BUT JUST IN GENERAL, THESE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE MADE ON HERE ARE EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATIONS THAT PROVE THAT STAFF IS, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY GOING TO GET, AS A LIGHTLY ALLUDED TO IN THE PRESENTATION, GOOD ELEVATIONS ON THESE BUILDINGS, GOOD MATERIALS, GOOD LANDSCAPING.

SO AS OPPOSED TO AN ADVERSARIAL POSITION WHERE I WANT TO BUILD THE BUILDING, IT'S GOING TO LOOK THE WAY I WANT IT.

YOU CAN'T REALLY SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BROKEN ANY OF YOUR RULES AND I'M NOT ASKING YOU FOR ANYTHING.

WELL, THIS IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THAT.

WHERE, YEAH, THERE'S SOME GIVE AND TAKE, AND I LIKE TO SEE THESE.

I LIKE TO SEE THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CERTAIN THINGS BOTH IN THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO THE VERY END.

AND SO THIS DOESN'T WORK IN ALL ENVIRONMENTS, BUT IT WORKS HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH, I THINK, GOOD STAFF ON THE PLANNING LEVEL AND THEY RECOGNIZE THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND THEY'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT.

SO THERE'S SORT OF A SIDE ISSUE OTHER THAN JUST THIS PLAN THAT WE'RE SEEING TONIGHT.

AND THESE ARE THE THINGS I LIKE TO SEE.

THANKS, TOM. ANYONE ELSE? I LIKED IT, FRANKLY.

I THINK AS I LOOKED AT IT, IF I'M ONLY SEEING TREES AND THERE'S GOING TO BE SHRUBS ADDED TO IT OR BACK TO OUR OLD SELVES OF REQUIRING THREE 60 QUALITY ARCHITECTURE MATERIALS AND THEN HIDING IT FROM THE PUBLIC WITH WITH LANDSCAPING LIKE WE DID AT 79TH AND CORVERA OR MANY PLACES THROUGHOUT TOWN.

SO. I THINK IT WAS A GOOD DIALOG ON DEVIATIONS.

I THINK THEY'VE BEEN EXPLAINED WELL.

I THINK WE CAN TRUST STAFF TO.

THEY'VE HEARD FROM TWO BODIES NOW FENCING DESIRES AND WE'LL LET THE APPLICANT WHO ACTUALLY PROVIDES THE SERVICES ULTIMATELY TELL THEM WHY OR WHY NOT.

AND IF THEY GIVE THE STAFF A GOOD REASON WHY OR WHY NOT, WE'LL GET THE RESULTS WE WANT.

SO I'M GOING TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO WHOOPS, I'M SORRY.

ALL I DID ASK THE PUBLIC ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE RETAIL AND DAYCARE USE AT CANYON COMMERCIAL.

SECOND MOTION BY CRAIG, SECOND BY JULIE.

ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? WE'RE APPROVED. THANKS FOR COMING OUT AND GIVING YOUR PERSPECTIVES.

ITEM 11 IS A CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING AND COMPANION PRELIMINARY PLAN SLASH FINAL PLAN FOR AN ENTERTAINMENT INDOOR USE KNOWN AS THE MINT.

AN OFFICE USE IS LOCATED AT 12345 WEST 95TH STREET.

11 A IS AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY FROM CPO, PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE AND CP THREE PLANNED REGIONAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICTS TO CP ONE PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT AND PLAN OR I'M SORRY 11 B IS APPROVAL OF COMPANION PRELIMINARY SLASH FINAL PLAN FOR THE MINT.

STEPHANIE ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR STEPHANIE KESSLER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE ADDRESS REALLY IS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, 95TH STREET.

NOT A TYPO.

SO AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A REZONING AND PRELIMINARY FINAL PLAN COMPANION TO THAT REZONING.

AND IT IS GOING TO BE KNOWN AS THE MINT.

AND IT IS AT 95TH AND MONROVIA IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE, OUTLINED IN RED, THERE IS PARKING TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE BUILDING. CURRENTLY, IT IS A BANK OF AMERICA ON THE FIRST FLOOR WITH OFFICE TENANTS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

[00:45:05]

THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO MAKE AN ENCLOSED SPACE FOR THIS PROPOSED INTER INDOOR ENTERTAINMENT FACILITY.

YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAPS ON THE SCREEN.

NOW, THE SITE IS ZONED CPO WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CP THREE ON THE VERY SOUTH THERE, THAT PINK COLOR AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DENOTES REGIONAL RETAIL IN THE RED AROUND THIS AREA.

BUT THE SITE ITSELF, I BELIEVE IS OFFICE AND EMPLOYMENT USES.

THERE IS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS AND THE GOLD COLOR TO THE EAST OF MONROVIA AND REGIONAL RETAIL AND CP THREE TYPE ZONING TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST AND SOME CP TWO AND COMMUNITY RETAIL TYPE USES TO THE WEST.

AS YOU CAN SEE NOW, THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN.

THEY DO PROPOSE TO REUSE THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THE SITE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF TWEAKING HERE AND THERE IN THE PARKING LOT.

AND THEN WITH THAT OVERHEAD CANOPY AREA, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO REZONE TO CP ONE.

SO AGAIN, THIS WOULD BE CPO AND CP THREE TO CP ONE AND THE SITE IS JUST UNDER TWO ACRES AND ABOUT TWO AND A HALF ACRES OF GROSS AREA AND THE BUILDING ITSELF IS CLOSE TO 33,400FT².

AGAIN, WITH THOSE THREE LEVELS BASEMENT FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR.

I WILL SAY ON THE SCREEN HERE, THIS IS A GOOD OVERVIEW OF SOME OF WHAT WE CALL CONFORMING CONDITIONS ON THE SITE AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THOSE.

THERE WAS A LOT OF DETAIL IN THE STAFF REPORT ON THOSE, BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE THE BUILDING IS SET BACK VERY MINIMALLY FROM MONROVIA, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN MORE DETAIL. AND THEN YOU CAN SEE IT DOESN'T MEET OUR TYPICAL STANDARDS FOR PARKING SETBACK AND SOME OF THOSE DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CODE TODAY. I BELIEVE THIS DATES BACK TO THE 70S, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

SO PREDATES SOME OF OUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

THE SITE IS ACCESSED IN A FEW DIFFERENT WAYS.

WE'VE GOT ACCESS FROM MONROVIA STREET ON THE NORTH HERE WITH A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT THAT IS USUALLY FOLLOWED AS A RIGHT IN, RIGHT OUT, SOMETIMES NOT.

DON'T DO THAT. THAT'S NOT A GREAT LEFT TURN OPPORTUNITY.

WE CAN ALSO ACCESS THE SITE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH OFF MONROVIA, RIGHT IN FRONT OF WHAT IS NOW LIVING SPACES OR WAS FORMERLY KOHL'S, AND THEN GO INTO THE SITE FROM THE SOUTH HERE.

AND THEN THIS AERIAL DOESN'T SHOW IT.

BUT THERE'S A QUICK TRIP HERE NOW, AND IT CAN BE ACCESSED THROUGH THAT SAME AREA THROUGH THE QUICK TRIP.

SO. THERE ARE SOME SIDEWALKS THAT ARE EXISTING AND PROPOSED, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STAFF IS REQUESTING OF THE APPLICANT IS TO PROVIDE AN EASEMENT FOR A FUTURE SIDEWALK CONNECTION ALONG MONROVIA.

THERE IS VERY LIMITED SPACE HERE.

AND I'VE GOT SOME OTHER PICTURES TO SHOW YOU ABOUT THAT LIMITED SPACE.

BUT AT THIS TIME, IT'S NOT FEASIBLE FOR THE APPLICANT TO COMPLETE THAT SIDEWALK CONNECTION PROJECT BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE EXTERIOR BUILDING EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAVE HERE AND JUST SOME LANDSCAPING AND GENERAL DIMENSIONAL DIFFICULTIES AS WELL.

SO IN THE FUTURE, STAFF WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK WITH THAT SIDEWALK CONNECTION PROJECT AS PART OF A CIP PROJECT FOR A LARGER IMPROVEMENT FOR SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS.

AND I'VE GOT ANOTHER SLIDE THAT SHOWS SOME OF THE EXISTING AND DEFICIENCIES FOR SIDEWALKS ALONG MONROVIA.

WHAT ARE THE YELLOW LINES? THE THESE GOLD LINES HERE, THOSE ARE PARCEL LINES.

SO I'LL GO OVER ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS HERE.

I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE CONFUSING.

SO THE RED THAT GOES AROUND THE SITE IS STILL THE PROPERTY LINE.

AND SO HOPEFULLY EVERYONE CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE RED AND THE PURPLE.

HERE. THE SOLID PURPLE IS EXISTING SIDEWALK.

THERE IS SOME EXISTING SIDEWALK ALONG THESE PARKING STALLS HERE.

AND THEN UP ON 95TH STREET, THERE IS NO SIDEWALK ALONG MONROVIA HERE WHERE YOU SEE THE YELLOW DASHED LINE.

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE REQUESTING THE EASEMENT FOR A FUTURE SIDEWALK.

AND THEN NEW SIDEWALK IS IN THE CIRCULAR PURPLE POLKA DOTS, I WOULD SAY, AROUND THE SITE.

AND THAT WOULD CONNECT OVER TO SOME EXISTING SIDEWALK ALONG THIS WEST AREA.

AND CONNECTING UP TO 95TH, I WAS SPECIFICALLY ASKING FOR THE ONE YELLOW LINE YOU DIDN'T ADDRESS ON THE EAST SIDE.

WHAT IS THAT WITH THE.

NO, EAST OF MONROVIA? YEAH, THAT'S A PROPERTY LINE.

IT IS A VERY STRANGE PARCEL LINE THERE.

[00:50:03]

SO SIDEWALK WANTED TO MENTION HERE WHERE THOSE VICINITY SIDEWALK GAPS AND SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS EXIST.

YOU CAN SEE HERE IN RED, THERE IS NO SIDEWALK ALONG THE SUBJECT PARCEL HERE.

THERE'S THAT QUICK TRIP FOR REFERENCE THAT'S IN THIS AERIAL IMAGE.

THERE'S NO SIDEWALK ALONG THE OTHER SIDE OF MONROVIA NEXT TO THE APARTMENTS HERE.

LIVING SPACES DID JUST SQUEEZE IN A VERY MINIMAL, I THINK, THREE FOOT SIDEWALK RIGHT ALONG THE CURB LINE HERE BECAUSE WITHOUT MAJOR INVESTMENT AND SOME RETAINING WALLS, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY SIDEWALK HERE OTHERWISE.

AND THEN THERE IS SOME SIDEWALK ALONG MONROVIA AS YOU GO SOUTH.

SO STAFF IS AWARE OF THIS GAP HERE.

AND AGAIN, WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT SIDEWALK AS PART OF A FUTURE CIP PROJECT.

BUT HAVING THE APPLICANT DEDICATE AN EASEMENT FOR THE SIDEWALK WOULD ASSIST WITH THAT FUTURE PROCESS OF INSTALLING SIDEWALK.

I WILL MENTION TO ONE OF THE DEVIATIONS THAT IS REQUESTED FOR THIS PROJECT IS FOR LANDSCAPING, AND THE LANDSCAPE PLAN DOES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED TO ACCOMMODATE FOR SOME SQUEEZING OF LAND ON THAT EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THE LANDSCAPING WOULDN'T GET IN THE WAY OF ANY FUTURE SIDEWALK TO.

SO HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF THE EXISTING BUILDING.

YOU CAN SEE THAT ATM CANOPY HERE, THE EXISTING QUIKTRIP AND THE LIVING SPACES BEHIND.

AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS YOU CAN ACCESS THE SITE THROUGH QUIKTRIP.

THIS IS LOOKING SOUTHWESTERLY FROM 95TH AND THIS IS MONROVIA RUNNING DOWN THIS SIDE HERE.

SO LIKE I MENTIONED, THIS IS NON CONFORMING TO CURRENT SETBACK STANDARDS FOR PARKING, BUT THEY WILL BE PROPOSING SOME LANDSCAPING IN HERE IN ORDER TO BUFFER THIS VIEW BETTER FROM 95TH AND MONROVIA.

SO THIS IS THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH BEING ABLE TO INSTALL A SIDEWALK HERE.

YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE, THIS IS THEIR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE BUILDING.

AGAIN, LIKE I MENTIONED, THE POSITIONING OF THIS BUILDING AND THAT EQUIPMENT PREDATES SOME OF THE SETBACKS AND SCREENING STANDARDS WE WOULD HAVE HAD BACK WHEN THE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED. SO STAFF IS GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT TO SCREEN THAT AREA BETTER AND ALSO MAKE SURE THAT ANY LANDSCAPING THAT'S INSTALLED WOULD NOT BE IN THE WAY OF A FUTURE SIDEWALK, WOULD NOT NEED TO BE TAKEN DOWN.

THERE IS A LOT OF UTILITY WORK IN HERE THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE TO PUT A SIDEWALK IN.

YOU CAN SEE A FIRE HYDRANT HERE.

THERE ARE SOME UTILITIES THAT RUN IN THIS AREA AS WELL.

SO IT IS A RATHER COMPLEX PROJECT.

HERE'S ANOTHER VIEW OF IT AS WELL.

AND JUST TO REITERATE TO PART OF THE PLANS FOR THIS TO INCLUDE ENHANCEMENTS FOR LANDSCAPING ALONG THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

SO STAFF DID REVIEW THE CRITERIA FOR REZONING.

AND THOSE ARE ON YOUR SCREEN NOW.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE, THEY WERE EXPLAINED IN FULL WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ADDRESS THOSE.

I DID MENTION SOME DEVIATIONS AND I KNOW THIS LOOKS LIKE A VERY LARGE TABLE OF DEVIATION REQUESTS.

AND A LOT OF THESE, IF NOT ALL OF THEM, ARE DUE TO THE NONCONFORMITY OF JUST THE SITE AND THE EXISTING LOCATION OF PARKING AND BUILDING.

STAFF DID EVALUATE ALL OF THESE DEVIATIONS.

IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO ESSENTIALLY LEGALIZE THE SITE BY TODAY'S STANDARDS AS PART OF THIS REZONING AND FINAL PLAN PROCESS.

AND WE DO FIND THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE.

THERE ARE SOME CONCESSIONS BEING MADE WITH THE APPLICANT PROVIDING ENHANCED LANDSCAPING ON THE SITE, IMPROVING THE BUILDING AND THE ESTHETICS OF THE ELEVATIONS OF THE BUILDING.

SO OVERALL, THERE'S SOME GIVE AND TAKE WITH DEVIATIONS VERSUS IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SITE THAT STAFF FOUND ACCEPTABLE.

HERE ARE SOME OF THOSE AREAS WHERE THE SETBACK DEVIATIONS ARE REQUESTED, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE THAT GRAPHICALLY.

THERE ARE SOME PARKING SETBACKS AROUND THE NORTH HERE, A SIX AND A NINE FOOT AND THEN A 12 FOOT FROM MONROVIA.

THE BUILDING SETBACK, IT'S A 12 FOOT SETBACK HERE, PARKING 15 FOOT ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND THE DRIVE AISLE HERE COMES ALL THE WAY

[00:55:01]

I WILL SAY THE WIDTH OF THAT DRIVE AISLE IS VERY MUCH NECESSARY FOR FIRE PROTECTION IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET A FIRE TRUCK AROUND THIS PART OF THE BUILDING.

SO THERE WAS A COMPROMISE MADE ON CODE STANDARDS FOR LIFE SAFETY STANDARDS.

SO FIRE STANDARDS SOMETIMES TRUMP OUR LANDSCAPING STANDARDS, UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

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

I'LL NOTE AGAIN ONLY THE TREES ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN, BUT THERE ARE MANY SHRUBS AND SMALLER PLANT SPECIES THAT ARE NOT HIGHLIGHTED IN A COLOR, BUT ARE SHOWN AS CIRCLES THROUGHOUT THE PLAN. HERE I'LL HIGHLIGHT TWO ON THIS PLAN.

THIS AREA HERE IS A PAVED PATIO THAT WOULD BE JUST NORTH OF THE CURRENT ATM CANOPY, WHICH WOULD TURN INTO PART OF THE INTERIOR STRUCTURE.

SO THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OUTDOOR SPACE HERE.

HERE ARE SOME RENDERINGS OF THE BUILDING.

THEY'LL BE USING SOME MINT COLORED LIGHTING TO GO ALONG WITH THE THEME OF THE MINT.

AND THE APPLICANT CAN TELL YOU MORE ABOUT HOW THEY GOT TO THE NAME THE MINT.

AND THIS PARTICULAR BUSINESS FUNCTION FOR THIS SPACE IS KIND OF AN EXCITING PROCESS FOR THEM.

HERE'S ANOTHER ANGLE.

AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO SHOW THAT ENCLOSED ATM CANOPY AREA HERE AND THAT OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE.

STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL SUBJECT TO TWO CONDITIONS, AND THAT'S RELATED TO THE SIDEWALK EASEMENT AND THEN THE CORRESPONDING CHANGES TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SIDEWALK CAN BE INSTALLED WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH LANDSCAPING.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANKS, STEPHANIE.

QUESTIONS BEFORE WE HAVE THE APPLICANT SPEAK, JOE.

THANK YOU. THIS IS PRETTY EXCITING TO SEE THIS BUILDING REJUVENATE AND IMPROVED.

ONE THING THAT I OF THE CURRENT STRUCTURE I DON'T CARE FOR MUCH ARE ALL THE ANTENNAS ON TOP OF THE BUILDING I SEE IN THE RENDERINGS.

THEY'RE NOT THERE.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHETHER THEY WILL EXIST OR NOT OR WHETHER THEY WILL REMAIN OR NOT? AND IF THEY REMAIN, WILL THEY HAVE A PARAPET OR WHATEVER KIND OF SCREENING WE WOULD REQUEST? I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT COULD PROBABLY ADDRESS THAT BEST, BUT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE STAYING.

OKAY. AND I KNOW THEY'RE NOT SHOWN ON THIS PARTICULAR RENDERING, BUT THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

I'LL ASK THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU, MELANIE.

SIMILAR TO JOE, I'M ACTUALLY I'M ALSO VERY EXCITED FOR THIS PROJECT, SOMETHING THAT WE HEAR A LOT FROM THE PEOPLE OF LENEXA AND PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN THIS AREA. FOR THE LONGEST TIME, THERE WERE COMPLAINTS OF THERE'S THIS ABANDONED KOHL'S AND THEN THERE IS THIS LIKE UGLY LOOKING AREA.

WHAT ABOUT US? AND HERE IT IS LIKE I NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE LIVING SPACES IN QUIKTRIP AND ALL THESE THINGS LIKE, THIS IS WONDERFUL.

I'M VERY EXCITED FOR THIS.

UM, WHEN MAYBE YOU MENTIONED IT, I MISSED IT.

WHEN DOES THE MINT INTEND TO OPEN? THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT.

OKAY. HENRY.

I THINK THAT'S YOUR CALL.

OR STEVE, WHOEVER.

OH, I'M SORRY, JULIE.

WELL, HENRY MAKES HIS APPROACH.

YES. THE EXISTING ENCLOSURE FOR THE HVAC EQUIPMENT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS SOMEWHAT TEMPORARY.

DO WE HAVE REQUIREMENTS FOR KIND OF SHORING THAT UP AND CLEANING THAT UP, SINCE THEY'RE GOING TO BE REMOVING SOME OF THAT LANDSCAPING? YES, WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT ON MAKING SURE THAT'S ACTUALLY SCREENED WITH APPROPRIATE PRIVACY MATERIALS AND LANDSCAPING.

IT'S A 15 FOOT WOODEN FENCE.

RAZOR WIRE? YEAH.

NO, IT'S NOT.

HENRY. CLOVER ARCHITECTS, 8813.

PENROSE JUST OVER THERE WITH ME TONIGHT, AS WELL AS STEVE BEAUMONT, WHO IS THE OWNER AND GOING TO BE THE OPERATOR.

STEPHANIE DID A GREAT JOB, SO I WON'T BELABOR TOO MANY THINGS, BUT I'LL MAKE A COUPLE POINTS.

FIRST, THE THING THAT WE'RE MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS OBVIOUSLY BANK OF AMERICA MOVED UP BY OAK PARK MALL.

YOU'VE GOT AN EMPTY BUILDING THAT IS PRETTY SIZABLE.

AND I DID WANT TO GIVE STEVE A LOT OF CREDIT.

HE HAS AN EXISTING WEDDING VENUE.

AND I CAN SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, TOO, BECAUSE I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON MY DAUGHTER'S AND HE'S THOUGHT THINGS THROUGH AND IMPROVEMENTS THAT I WISH I'D HAVE HAD THEN AND NOW. I'VE GOT A SON GETTING MARRIED NEXT YEAR, AND THIS DIDN'T EXIST THEN, WHICH I WISH IT WAS ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR.

BUT THE BEAUTY OF IT IS, IS THAT IT'S A VENUE THAT MOSTLY IS IN MISSOURI.

AND SO ALL OF US, MY DAUGHTER INCLUDED, WERE GETTING MARRIED ON THE MISSOURI SIDE.

AND THERE ARE SEVEN HOTELS AROUND THIS.

[01:00:02]

AND THEY ALSO ARE A VERY SYMBIOTIC USE BECAUSE THERE'S NO TRAFFIC FROM THE OFFICE BUILDING AT THAT TIME WHEN THERE ARE BIG EVENTS ON WEEKENDS AND THERE IS NO REALLY THAT MUCH NEED FOR THE YOU KNOW, WE KNOW HOW MUCH FURNITURE STORES USE PARKING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR PARKING.

THE UPPER LEVEL WILL STILL BE OFFICE.

THE THEME IS THE MINT, BECAUSE WE AND I GOT TO GIVE STEVE CREDIT FOR THIS.

IT HAS EXISTING SAFES IN THE VAULTS, AND THE VAULT DOORS ARE GOING TO BE EMBELLISHED.

THE VAULT IS GOING TO BECOME A BAR.

THE WHOLE THEME IS GOING TO BE AROUND TREASURY AND MONEY.

BUT THE BEAUTY OF IT IS TOO, IS THAT TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS WITH A WEDDING EVENT IS THEY HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A TRANSITION.

YOU HAVE A WEDDING AND THEN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE AND GO HIDE SOMEPLACE OR GO TO A ROOF, IN MY CASE OF MY DAUGHTER, DRINK SOME COCKTAILS WHILE THEY CHANGE EVERYTHING OUT.

WELL, THE.

IDEA IS THAT WE'LL ENCLOSE THE.

DRIVE THROUGH AND IT BECOMES A WEDDING CHAPEL.

AND SO YOU CAN LITERALLY TRANSITION NOT AND THEN THEY CAN TRANSITION TO THAT AREA, MAKE IT A DANCE FLOOR THAT'S GOT GARAGE DOORS THAT'LL OPEN UP TO THE BIG SIDE PATIO.

YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE IN THE IMAGE TO THE FENCE.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT AROUND TO THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT.

OBVIOUSLY, IT'S BIG.

IT'S BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM, INTO THE BUILDING.

IT'S KIND OF OUTRAGEOUS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO CLEAN IT UP AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.

STEPHANIE DIDN'T MENTION BUT WE DID IMPROVE THIS, ALL THE SETBACKS.

I MEAN, ALL THE PARKING HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK AS MUCH AS WE COULD AND STILL HAVE VIABLE PARKING LOT.

WE'VE IMPROVED INTERIOR CIRCULATION WENT GIVE A CREDIT TO STAFF.

WE WORKED WITH THEM ON HOW TO GET IT DONE.

AND IT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING BECAUSE STEPHANIE, DID YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE STAFF WAS LIKE, NO, WE DON'T WANT THE LANE, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S GOING, EXCUSE ME.

YES, I DO. SO INCREASED LANDSCAPING, REDUCED IMPERVIOUS AREA SETBACKS WITH EXISTING CELL TOWERS.

TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, STEVE WORKED TO DEAL WITH THEM.

THEY'RE STILL GOING TO BE THERE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM LEAVE, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE MOVED BACK TO THE CENTER.

RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE ON THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING.

THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE MOVED BACK TO THE CENTER TOWER AREA.

SO THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT AS WELL.

OTHER THAN THAT, I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

WE THINK IT'S A REALLY COOL OPPORTUNITY AND ONE THAT WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT.

AND I KNOW THE OWNERS AND STEVE BULTMAN IS HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM AS WELL.

SO THANKS, HENRY.

I JUST NEED TO DISCLOSE REAL QUICK.

I RAN INTO STEVE WITH THE LIVING SPACES OPEN HOUSE.

HE LET ME KNOW THIS WAS ON THE WAY, WANTED TO TALK, BUT WE NEVER GOT TOGETHER.

SO JUST AS LONG AS WE HAD THAT CONVERSATION.

QUESTIONS START WITH DAN COMMENTS.

COMMENT MORE THAN A QUESTION.

I'M THRILLED FOR THIS.

THAT BUILDING NEEDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO REJUVENATE ITSELF.

AND I THINK THIS IS A FANTASTIC APPROACH AND THERE'S DEFINITELY A NEED.

WE MENTIONED IT EARLIER, AND I AGREE WITH THAT.

BUT THE LOOK AND THE FEEL, IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY BRING THIS ALIVE, THE WAY IT LOOKS, WILL RADICALLY ENHANCE THAT ENVIRONMENT GIVEN THE OTHER THINGS.

SO THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK.

THANK YOU, TOM.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS BUILDING GO INTO ITS NEW PHASE.

AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THIS BUILDING WITH PAUL WALTER.

HE WAS ONE OF MY MENTORS.

IT WAS ALWAYS KNOWN AS THE BREAKFAST CLUB TO EAT DONUTS AND THEN GO TO LUNCH.

AND BUT I USUALLY HAD TO SPEND THE FOUR HOURS SITTING THERE IN HIS OFFICE WHILE HE INTRODUCED ME TO ALL OF HIS CLIENTS THAT CAME IN ON A SATURDAY WHICH HELPED BUILD MY BUSINESS. DIDN'T QUITE CATCH ALL OF THE LESSONS HE TRIED TO TEACH ME, BUT HE WAS PRETTY GOOD.

AND THIS WAS HIS KINGDOM AND HIS DOMAIN AND THE FLAGSHIP BANK.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF BANKING.

YEAH. AND WHEN? QUICK STORY ON DESIGN.

HE HAD A GLASS CAGE IN THERE, AS MOST BANK PRESIDENTS SAID IT.

AND HE SAID, THIS IS A REAL EASY JOB.

ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS TWO THINGS.

IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY, YOU KIND OF WAVE TO THEM.

AND IF YOU NEED TO SEE SOMEBODY, YOU DO THIS AND SO THAT'S THE TWO THINGS THAT A BANK PRESIDENT DOES IN THE GLASS BOX AND THAT WAS BEEN THERE BUT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.

AND WHAT A GREAT ADDRESS.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, MONROVIA, WEST 95TH STREET.

BUT I THINK THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING HAS SUFFERED SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS BECAUSE OF THE TAKINGS THAT THIS CITY HAS INITIATED TO WIDEN MONROVIA.

AND SO THEREFORE, IT GOT ABOUT AS CLOSE TO THE BUILDING AS YOU COULD GET.

THAT LANDSCAPE IS ABOUT AS DR.

SEUSS AS YOU CAN GET.

IT'S PRETTY BIZARRE WHAT'S LEFT OF THOSE TREES.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE, THOUGH THE INNER MIXING, BECAUSE WITH THIS GIANT PARKING LOT NEXT DOOR

[01:05:08]

I THINK THIS REALLY IS GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC THING.

AND I'M GLAD YOU POINTED OUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE HOTELS NEARBY.

AND THESE WEDDING PARTIES DON'T LIKE TO DRIVE.

THEY DON'T MIND WALKING A LITTLE BIT OR BEING NEARBY.

BUT WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.

AND JUST TO MAKE LENEXA THAT MUCH BETTER.

IT'S ALSO REVENUE FOR THE CITY.

IT'S ALL GOING TO MISSOURI RIGHT NOW.

WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK.

SO SO THANK YOU, COURTNEY.

WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS ON THE AGENDA, I WAS TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND WHAT DOES ENTERTAINMENT INDOOR USE MEAN? YOU KNOW, IS THAT DAVE AND BUSTERS? IS THAT URBAN AIR? IS THIS, YOU KNOW, ADULT ENTERTAINMENT? IS THIS KID FRIENDLY, YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF THING.

SO FIGURING OUT THAT THIS IS AN EVENT SPACE IS MUCH NEEDED ALSO IN THIS AREA WILL BE USED FOR BUSINESSES AS WELL.

THEY WILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, MEETINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT CAN HANDLE 350 PEOPLE AND THERE AREN'T THAT MANY SPACES AROUND THAT BIG.

BUT THE PRIMARY MONEYMAKER IS GOING TO BE WEDDING WEDDINGS LIKE CONFERENCE ROOMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, OF COURSE.

AWESOME. UM, I FORGOT WHAT MY SECOND THING WAS GOING TO BE.

UM. I LIKE IT.

I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE DOING THIS, AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE SECOND THING WAS GOING TO BE, SO KUDOS, MELANIE.

UM, SO I WAS, I'M A LITTLE BIT CONFLICTED JUST ON THE ASPECT OF THE SIDEWALKS, I GUESS.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THERE WERE NO SIDEWALKS ON EITHER SIDE OF THAT STREET.

UM, HOW MUCH HOW LONG DO YOU ESTIMATE AND THIS MAY BE MORE OF A STEPHANIE QUESTION, HOW LONG DO YOU ESTIMATE BETWEEN OPENING AND FOR US TO BE ABLE TO BUILD A SIDEWALK? I COULDN'T ANSWER THAT.

I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO GET IT OPEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE BIGGEST THING IS HE NEEDS TO START MAKING RESERVATIONS.

PEOPLE RESERVE WEDDINGS YEARS, MONTHS IN ADVANCE.

IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO BECAUSE THE ADVANTAGE THE CITY HAS IS OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT'S CALLED, BUT THERE'S A GAS LINE, THERE'S A WATER LINE, THERE'S ELECTRICAL, THERE'S TELECOM, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF STUFF RIGHT THERE.

THE FIRE HYDRANT, FOR EXAMPLE, IS THIS FAR BACK.

IT'S 1.8, SEVEN FEET.

THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER IS 3.8, SEVEN FEET.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT.

AND THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A PROCESS THE CITY IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO GET IT DONE.

SO I COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO BE, BUT WE'RE CREATING A LOT OF SIDEWALKS IN THE INTERNAL.

WE'RE NOT EXPECTING ANYBODY TO PARK ALONG THE STREET OR WALK THERE.

THERE'S ALL THE PARKING THAT'S TO THE WEST.

THERE'S SIDEWALKS, THERE'S STEPS TO GET UP TO IT.

SO WE DON'T SEE IT AS AN ISSUE FOR US.

BUT OBVIOUSLY IT'S A DESIRED GOAL OF THE CITY AND A VERY ADMIRABLE ONE TO HAVE IT COME INTO PLAY.

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF HEADACHES TO GETTING IT DONE THAT ARE WAY OUT OF OUR LEAGUE.

SO. YEAH.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

JOE? YEAH.

FOR ALL THE REASONS DESCRIBED ALREADY, INCLUDING MY SON'S WEDDING WAS A LESSON OF TWO WEEKS AGO IN MISSOURI.

SO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE.

LOVE THE USE OF AN OLD BUILDING REJUVENATION.

THE HOTELS AROUND HERE, ALL THAT.

ALL THAT STUFF IS IS INCREDIBLY POSITIVE.

I CAN TELL IT'S GOING TO BE A QUALITY VENUE.

MY ONLY QUESTION WOULD BE, IF POSSIBLE, TOO.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE BRINGING THE ANTENNAS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE OF THE ROOF.

IF POSSIBLE, I THINK SOME SCREENING WOULD BE NICE, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT IMPACTS RADIO WAVES AND ALL THAT.

AND I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE NO MATTER WHAT, BUT THAT'S MY ONLY COMMENT.

I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THIS IN LENEXA.

THANK YOU, COURTNEY.

OKAY. REMEMBER I DID.

I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. WELL, IT WAS KIND OF ANECDOTAL ANYWAY, BUT WHENEVER WE GET RENDERINGS LIKE THIS, I ALWAYS CRACK UP AT THE ARCHITECTS CARS THAT THEY PUT IN THERE.

AND WHAT THAT IS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S ON LINE.

OH, I KNOW, I KNOW.

WHAT'S FUNNY ABOUT IT IS I WAS LIKE, I HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A CAR LIKE THAT TO RENT THIS PLACE.

NO YOU DO NOT. BUT THE WORST PART IS THE PEOPLE.

BECAUSE WHEN WE DO THE ANIMATION, FOR EXAMPLE, THERE ARE JUST SO FEW PEOPLE.

SO WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING AROUND, YOU SEE THIS GUY RUN BY YOU LIKE FIVE TIMES.

SO THERE'S ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER THAT ARE OUT THERE.

BUT APPRECIATE IT.

FINAL CALL. GREAT ADAPTIVE REUSE.

WE'RE TAKING A SITE THAT HAS MANY CHALLENGES AND DEFICIENCIES AND WE'RE NOT GETTING ALL THE WAY TO CODE, BUT WE'RE GETTING AS CLOSE AS WE CAN TO MAKE IT FUNCTION.

SO I APPRECIATE YOUR DESIGN AND STEVE'S INVESTMENT.

LOOK FORWARD TO BEING OPEN AND SERVING OUR RESIDENTS.

[01:10:01]

PERFECT. HE'S VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

SO. I NEED A MOTION TO ENTERTAIN THE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE REZONING FROM CPO AND CP THREE TO CP ONE.

SECOND MOTION BY JOE SECOND BY COURTNEY.

ALL IN FAVOR ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

ALSO NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE COMPANION PRELIMINARY SLASH FINAL PLAN FOR THE MINT.

MOTION BY DAN SECOND BY COURTNEY.

ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED MOTION TO APPROVE.

HENRY AND STEVE. THANK YOU AGAIN.

ITEM NUMBER 12 IS ORDINANCE APPROVING A ONE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A DAYCARE GENERAL USE FOR AN IN-HOME DAYCARE KNOWN AS SAYERS BUSY BEES LOCATED AT 8909 PARK STREET WITHIN THE R1 SINGLE FAMILY LOW DENSITY ZONING DISTRICT.

THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR.

LAST TIME FOR ME TONIGHT.

THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR SARAH'S BUSY BEES.

IT'S AN IN-HOME DAYCARE AT 89 AND NINE PARK STREET.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION MAP.

LOTS OF TREES HERE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

PARK STREET IS JUST TO THE WEST OF PLUM ROAD.

AND THIS IS AROUND 89TH, SO JUST SOUTH OF 87TH STREET AND PLUM.

THE SITE IS ZONED R1, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTIAL LOTS YOU SEE ON THE LEFT IMAGE AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FOR SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL USES.

IN THIS YELLOW COLOR HERE YOU CAN SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED ON THE EAST SIDE OF PARK STREET.

THIS IS THE APPLICANTS INFORMATION ABOUT THE BUSINESS PLAN.

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE.

CURRENTLY, SHE OPERATES A DAYCARE OUT OF THE HOME.

SHE ONLY HAS UP TO SIX CHILDREN.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE CALL A LIMITED DAYCARE.

IN ORDER FOR HER TO EXPAND UP TO THE 12 CHILDREN THAT SHE IS PERMITTED BY THE STATE WITH HER LICENSE, SHE HAS TO HAVE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN SIX.

SO THE APPLICANT COMES HERE TODAY TO ASK FOR THAT SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN ORDER TO EXPAND TO MATCH WITH THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED ON HER STATE LICENSE.

HERE YOU CAN SEE SHE OPERATES FROM 8 TO 5 MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

AND TYPICALLY THAT'S STAGGERED.

I DON'T BELIEVE ALL THE CLIENTS COME FOR PICK UP AND DROP OFF AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIMES.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE SHE'S GOT A GENERAL SCHEDULE FOR HOW THAT DAY WORKS WITH THE CHILDREN THAT SHE CARES FOR.

SO STAFF DID REVIEW THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE RESPONSES, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.

THEY ARE ANSWERED IN FULL IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT IN YOUR PACKET.

WE DID RECEIVE ONE LETTER FROM AN ADJACENT NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET.

YOU CAN SEE HERE ON 8908 PARK STREET.

THAT NEIGHBOR INFORMED STAFF THAT THEY HAD A CONCERN ABOUT THE DAYCARE CUSTOMERS OR PATRONS USING THEIR DRIVEWAY TO TURN AROUND AT PICKUP AND DROP OFF TIME. AND THE APPLICANT IS NOW AWARE OF THAT ISSUE AND WILL BE EDUCATING OR IF NOT ALREADY EDUCATING HER CLIENTS ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO PARK OR TURN AROUND IN ADJACENT DRIVEWAYS IF NEED BE.

SO STAFF DID RECOMMEND JUST A ONE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT INSTEAD OF A TYPICAL TEN YEAR IN THIS CASE TO MAKE SURE THAT ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED.

THERE IS THE OPTION FOR THE APPLICANT TO COME IN AGAIN A YEAR FROM NOW UPON ENTERING THAT EXPIRATION DATE OF THAT ONE YEAR PERIOD IN ORDER TO GET A LONGER SPECIAL USE PERMIT, IF THERE'S NO EXISTING ISSUES WITH ANY OF DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON EXISTING NEIGHBORS.

STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE DAYCARE GENERAL USE AT 8909 PARK STREET.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. IS SARAH HERE? I WAS A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION.

YOU WERE PROBABLY THE ONE.

ANY REMARKS TONIGHT YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? I ACTUALLY HAVE. I FIGURED OUT WHO WAS USING THE DRIVEWAY.

IT WAS ACTUALLY. IT WASN'T EVEN DAYCARE, BUT I HAD A.

OKAY. ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF THEN.

SO THANK YOU.

I KNOW THAT WAS AN AWKWARD SPOT FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR TO COME FORWARD, BUT YEAH, IT WAS ALSO NICE TO HAVE ANOTHER NEIGHBOR TELL YOU HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO HAVE THE KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE, JUST JULIE.

UM, SARAH, THANK YOU FOR OFFERING THIS SERVICE.

[01:15:01]

THERE'S A FACILITY LIKE THIS THAT OPERATES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND AS SOON AS WE ALL LEARN THE DANCE OF THE DROP OFF IN THE MORNING, TRAFFIC WAS NOT AN ISSUE.

SO HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS.

GREG. WELL, THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I DRIVE PARK SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, AND I HAD NO CLUE THERE WAS A DAYCARE UNTIL I READ THIS.

SO YOU OPERATE A VERY GOOD SERVICE.

CERTAINLY NO INDICATION THAT THERE'S ANY PARKING ISSUES ALONG PARK.

AND SO AS MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBER SAID, THANKS FOR OFFERING THE SERVICE.

NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE FOR THE ONE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

MOTION BY JULIE.

SECOND BY COURTNEY. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU.

PUBLIC HEARING TONIGHT. ITEM 13 IS CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING THE CENTRAL GREEN COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AT CITY CENTER NORTH FIRST WILL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING

[PUBLIC HEARINGS]

AND THE ONE THING I WANT TO LEARN TONIGHT IS WHAT THE MSD STANDS FOR.

SO, SHAWN, I'LL ANSWER THAT RIGHT AWAY.

THAT IS AN ABBREVIATION OF MIXED.

IT IS MIXED USE.

SO MSD MIXED USE.

I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY SCIENCE BEHIND IT OTHER THAN THAT AT THE TIME.

SHAWN MCLAUGHLIN, CITY ATTORNEY.

AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING, YOU WILL CONSIDER A 1% SALES TAX OVER APPROXIMATELY 1.4 ACRES KNOWN AS THE CENTRAL GREEN MIXED USE PROJECT IN CITY CENTER NORTH. WE RECEIVED A PETITION FROM THE OWNERS, 100% OF THE OWNERS IN THE AREA.

IT WILL ESTABLISH A 1% SALES TAX FOR 22 YEARS WITH THE ANTICIPATED START DATE OF OCTOBER 1ST, 2023.

THAT WILL BE THE REVENUE WOULD BE USED TO REIMBURSE THE DEVELOPER FOR REIMBURSABLE COSTS SUCH AS PARKING, ACCESS, ROADS, SITE WORK, TENANT, FINISH LANDSCAPING AND OTHER BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.

THE MAXIMUM REIMBURSEMENT IS $2 MILLION.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE.

THE PROJECTED OVER THE 22 YEARS IS 1 MILLION ON THE 1% SALES TAX, THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, PARTY OBLIGATIONS AND REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

AND THEY ARE USING OUR STANDARD TERMS SUBJECT TO THE PUBLIC HEARING STAFF RECOMMENDS ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE AND APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS.

[COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS]

HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HAVE PLANNED THIS CAMPUS THAT WAY.

SO I THINK WE CAN ANTICIPATE MORE EVENTS LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE.

SO YAY US.

THANKS FOR STANDING IN.

ANYONE ELSE?

[01:20:01]

IT'S A SURVEY MEETING, WHATNOT.

YOU CAN DO ONE ON ZOOM. THERE'S ONE ON OLETHA IF YOU PREFER TO TRAVEL.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY HEAR FROM BIG CITIES AS WELL AS LITTLE CITIES OR WILL BE GOVERNED BY POPULATION.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE OF CITIES IN KANSAS, 70% OF THEM ARE UNDER 2000 PEOPLE.

AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REPRESENT OUR PEOPLE AS WELL WITH PROVIDING INPUT.

UH, WE HAVE.

[STAFF REPORTS]

SO WHILE NICK IS OUR ONLY STAFF REPORT.

BUT I WILL JUST SAY, WHILE HE'S MAKING HIS WAY UP, THAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO BEGINNING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE 2024 BUDGET WITH YOU NEXT WEEK WITH A BUDGET OVERVIEW DISCUSSION. THANK YOU.

WELL, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, NICK ARENA, MUNICIPAL SERVICES DIRECTOR I WILL BE REALLY QUICK.

I JUST WANT TO SAY WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE PAVEMENT RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM THAT WAS APPROVED EARLIER.

EXCITING PART. WE WORKED ON THIS FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, BUT REALLY EXCITED TO BRING UP CODY WILBER.

HE IS OUR NEW ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES.

HE HAS BEEN HERE FOR A LITTLE OVER THREE MONTHS NOW, AND HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH OUR CONSULTANT REALLY CLOSELY ON THIS PROJECT.

SO I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO HIM AND HE'S GOING TO RUN THE [INAUDIBLE] I'M GOING TO BRING THIS UP JUST A LITTLE BIT.

CODY WOLBERS, ASSISTANT MUNICIPAL SERVICES DIRECTOR, PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE PAVEMENT RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM, SPECIFICALLY FALCON VALLEY DRIVE, THE WOODLAND ROAD TO PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY PROJECT.

JUST A LITTLE PROJECT SUMMARY.

THE PCI RATING OR PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX RATING FOR THIS SECTION OF ROAD IS CONSIDERED POOR.

IF YOU LOOK REAL CLOSELY ON THE MAP, YOU CAN SEE ANY NUMBERS FROM THE LOW 40S TO THE HIGH TEENS ON HERE.

ANYTHING BELOW 20 IS USUALLY CONSIDERED FAILING.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE DRIVEN THIS SECTION OF ROADWAY ANY TIME SOON.

YOU KIND OF NOTICE YOURSELF DRIVING AWAY TO AVOID POTHOLES.

JUST THE BUMPS. IT IS IN ROUGH CONDITION AND IT DOES NEED A COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION.

TOTAL PROJECT COST.

THEY'RE GOING TO COME IN AT 3.9 MILLION.

THAT INCLUDES DESIGN, RIGHT OF WAY, CONSTRUCTION, INSPECTION SERVICES, EVERYTHING ELSE IN THEIR PLAN.

IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE FULLY RECONSTRUCT THE SUBGRADE AND ASPHALT PAVEMENT.

THAT INCLUDES TAKING OUT THE OLD PAVEMENT, TAKING OUT SOME OF THE OLD SUBGRADE THAT IS WEAK AND FAILING AND MODIFYING THAT SUBGRADE AND THEN BUILDING THAT BASE BACK UP AND THEN ADDING ON NINE INCHES OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT TO THE TOP.

WE'LL ALSO BE INSTALLING UNDER DRAINS WHERE NEEDED, JUST TRYING TO KEEP THE MOISTURE OFF THE ROADWAY AND UNDERNEATH, NOT UNDERNEATH THE ROADWAY.

THIS SECTION OF FALCON VALLEY DRIVE DOES HAVE A SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE OF IT THE WHOLE WAY.

WE'LL BE ADDING A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROADWAY.

WE'LL ALSO BE DOING SPOT CURB AND GUTTER REPLACEMENTS AND SPOT SIDEWALK REPLACEMENTS THROUGH THERE.

JUST PLACES THAT HAVE SETTLED, FAILING CURB AND GUTTER, FAILING SIDEWALK, JUST BRINGING THAT UP TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A NICE FINISHED PROJECT.

WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE IMPROVING THE STREET LIGHTING TO CURRENT STANDARDS.

THIS IS A LITTLE OUT OF DATE THERE, SO WE'LL BE PUTTING IN STREETLIGHTS THAT MEET OUR CURRENT STANDARDS.

QUICK SCHEDULE ON THE PROJECT.

WE DID HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE OUT AT THE GOLF COURSE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 20TH.

IT WAS WELL ATTENDED, PROBABLY JUST UNDER 100 PEOPLE.

A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK AT THE MEETING.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE WANTED TO KNOW HOW'S THIS PROJECT PHASE? HOW AM I GOING TO GET IN AND OUT WHILE IT'S GOING ON, AND WHAT ARE YOU ACTUALLY DOING TO FIX THE ROADWAY? AND I THINK MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE WERE SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWERS THAT THEY HEARD.

WE RECEIVED BIDS LAST WEDNESDAY, ON JUNE 14TH.

EARLIER TONIGHT, WE AWARDED THE CONTRACT TO MCCONNELL AND ASSOCIATES.

WE'RE PLANNING TO START OUT THERE JULY 10TH.

SO THAT'S JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY.

AND THE PROJECT HAS A CALENDAR DAY COMPLETION OF 105 CALENDAR DAYS.

THERE'S FIVE PHASES WHICH I'LL TOUCH ON HERE IN JUST A SECOND, BUT THAT LEADS TO ABOUT THREE WEEKS PER PHASE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO ANTICIPATE A COMPLETION OF LATE FALL.

AT THIS POINT, IT'S KIND OF WHERE THAT 105 CALENDAR DAYS FALLS.

GOING OVER THE PHASING, THERE'S FIVE MAIN PHASES.

WHEN WE'RE IN A PHASE, WE'RE CONSIDERING THAT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER.

THAT'S TO ALLOW THAT CONTRACTOR TO GET IN THERE, HAVE THE 24 TO 36 FOOT OF WORKING SPACE, RIP THAT PAVEMENT OUT, TAKE THAT MATERIAL OUT, AND THEN BUILD THAT SUBGRADE BACK UP.

AND GOOD WORKING CONDITION PHASES ARE ANTICIPATED TO LAST THREE WEEKS.

PHASE ONE. I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ON A LITTLE BIT YOU GOT THE PRICE CHOPPER HERE.

IF YOU SMALL EATERIES IN THE AREA, SOME SCOOTERS, A BANK, THERE'S ALL THAT'S THERE.

[01:25:02]

SO WE HAVE THIS SCHEDULED TO TAKE IN THE CONTRACT.

THEY HAVE 12 CALENDAR DAYS TO COMPLETE PHASE ONE AND THEN JUST FOUR CALENDAR DAYS TO COMPLETE FROM EASTBOUND 101ST STREET HERE FROM WOODLAND ROAD TO STEPHENSON STREET. SO PEOPLE CAN GET IN THIS AREA AND GET OUT.

THEY STILL DO HAVE ACCESS THE WHOLE TIME OFF OF WOODLAND ROAD HERE AND OFF OF MILLSTONE.

IF YOU WERE TO COME OFF OF PRAIRIE STAR, PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND TRAVEL DOWN TO THE SOUTH.

SO THEY DO STILL HAVE ACCESS.

BUT OUR GOAL IS TO JUST MAKE IT FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO CONSTRUCTION GOING ON, BUT FOR TWO WEEKS, HAVE IT OPEN UP AND HAVE THOSE BUSINESSES HAVE THAT ACCESS.

AND THEN THE PHASING MOVES FROM THE SOUTH POINT TO THE NORTH.

SLOWLY YOU WILL SEE 99TH STREET HERE IS ON A CUL DE SAC.

THEY WILL HAVE A RAISED AGGREGATE BASE DURING PHASE THREE TO DRIVE ON FROM THIS CUL DE SAC DOWN HERE.

WE HAVE TRIED TO TALK TO ALL THESE PEOPLE AND JUST KIND OF MENTION THAT NOTE WHAT THEY'LL BE GOING OVER AND MENTIONING, HEY, WE'RE THINKING THESE PHASES ARE GOING TO TAKE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2 AND 4 WEEKS.

SO THAT'S OUR GOAL, TO GET IN THERE AND GET OUT OF THERE.

THIS IS A PROJECT WE DIDN'T BUILD HALF AT A TIME JUST FOR THE IT'S ONLY 24 FOOT WIDE.

WE FIGURED WE'D BE DAMAGING THE CURB QUITE A BIT.

YOU'D HAVE IT ONE WAY IN THERE IF YOU DID THAT.

IT REALLY JUST LIMITS THE CONTRACTOR TO, I THINK, GO AND BLOW AND TAKE CARE OF EACH OF THESE PHASES DURING THAT.

SO THAT WAS KIND OF OUR THOUGHT PROCESS AND OUR PLAN THERE.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN ANSWER THEM NOW.

CODY THANK YOU AND WELCOME.

QUESTIONS. CRAIG. ARE YOU LEAVING THE CURRENT CURB AND GUTTER IN PLACE? WE'RE LEAVING AS MUCH OF IT THAT WE CAN.

THERE ARE SPOTS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED JUST FROM EITHER HEAVING OF THE SUBGRADE OR ITS CRACKED UP AND IT'S PAST ITS USEFUL LIFE.

SO WE'LL BE REPLACING SOME OF IT.

BUT A GOOD PORTION OF IT IS STAYING.

OKAY, TOM, THANKS FOR BRINGING THE PRESENTATION TO US TONIGHT.

THIS IS KIND OF A UNIQUE PROJECT.

IF THERE'S ANYWHERE IN LENEXA THAT THERE'S SOME DIVERSITY, I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT GOES FROM RECREATIONAL ON THE NORTH TO SINGLE FAMILY DUPLEX. THERE'S EVEN SOME CONDOS AND APARTMENTS AND HEAVY RETAIL.

THIS THING REALLY CUTS A SWATH THROUGH, I THINK, EVERY ZONING DIVISION EVER CREATED IN LENEXA.

SO AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

IT'S A VERY POPULAR DRIVE THROUGH THERE.

BUT THE DENSITY IN THAT AREA IS ALSO FAIRLY HIGH BECAUSE OF THE MIXED USE HOUSING.

SO THIS IS ONE PIECE OF ROADWAY THAT GETS A LOT OF USE, I THINK MORE THAN EVER ENVISIONED FROM ITS VERY BEGINNING, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT TO MORE OF AN ARTERIAL STANDARDS VERSUS THE RESIDENTIAL STYLE THAT IT IS NOW.

SO IT WORE OUT AND IT NEEDS REPLACEMENT AND IT'S A GOOD PROJECT.

JOE NOT A QUESTION, BUT A COMMENT.

THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT.

YOU CAN TELL THIS IS VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT, VERY WELL PLANNED.

SO I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT.

AND THERE'S NOT ANYBODY THAT LIVES REMOTELY CLOSE TO THAT AREA THAT ISN'T ANXIOUS FOR THIS TO BE DONE.

SO GREAT JOB ON PLANNING AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT DONE.

THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, GUYS.

THAT IT. BACK TO YOU.

OKAY. THIS WILL END THE RECORDED SESSION OF TONIGHT'S MEETING.
