Sep 19, 2023 City Council Meeting

[00:00:02]

WE'LL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER THIS EVENING, IF YOU WOULD, RISE AND JOIN US IN THE PLEDGE TO THE FLAG.

[CALL TO ORDER ]

MAYOR BOEHM IS PRESENT AND PRESIDING.

THANK YOU. OUR FIRST ITEM IS APPROVAL OF THE AUGUST 22ND SPECIAL CALL CITY COUNCIL MEETING AND THE SEPTEMBER 5TH REGULAR MEETING.

[APPROVE MINUTES ]

ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MINUTES ARE APPROVED. JENNIFER MODIFICATIONS THIS EVENING? NONE THIS EVENING.

WE DO HAVE TWO PROCLAMATIONS.

[PROCLAMATIONS ]

PLEASE JOIN ME UP FRONT.

I'LL USE THIS ONE IF IT'S OKAY, AND THEN I'LL JUST USE THIS ONE, I THINK.

GREAT. HOW ARE YOU TONIGHT? GOOD. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

I'M GOING TO READ A PROCLAMATION, THEN WE'RE GOING TO TAKE PICTURES.

AWESOME. OKAY. BUT I HAVE TO HAVE IT [LAUGHTER] BECAUSE I DIDN'T I DIDN'T MEMORIZE THAT ONE.

WHEREAS DIAPER NEED THE CONDITION OF NOT HAVING A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF CLEAN DIAPERS TO KEEP BABIES AND TODDLERS CLEAN, DRY AND HEALTHY CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THEIR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WELL-BEING.

AND WHEREAS, NATIONAL SURVEYS AND RESEARCH STUDIES REPORT THAT 47% OF FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN STRUGGLE TO AFFORD DIAPERS AND 48% OF FAMILIES DELAY CHANGING A DIAPER TO THE EXTENT OF AVAILABLE SUPPLY.

WHEREAS PURCHASING ENOUGH DIAPERS CONSUME AS MUCH AS 14% OF LOW INCOME FAMILY INCOME, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY SUPPLY.

AND WHEREAS, DAILY OR WEEKLY SUPPLY OF DIAPERS IS GENERALLY A REQUIREMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN CHILD CARE PROGRAMS AND EARLY EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ENABLE CHILDREN TO THRIVE AND PARENTS TO WORK.

AND WHEREAS, WITHOUT ENOUGH DIAPERS, INFECTIONS AND HEALTH PROBLEMS MAY REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION, RESULTING IN MEDICAL COSTS AND PARENTS MAY BE PREVENTED FROM ACCESSING CHILDCARE NEEDED, THEREBY DESTABILIZING THE FAMILY'S ECONOMIC PROSPECTS AND WELL-BEING.

AND WHEREAS, DIAPER NEED IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE AND ADDRESSING IT CAN LEAD TO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES AND IMPROVED HEALTH FOR CHILDREN, THUS ENSURING ALL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO THE BASIC NECESSITIES REQUIRED TO THRIVE AND REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, MICHAEL BOEHM, THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LENEXA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 18TH THROUGH THE 24TH AS NATIONAL DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK, AND I'VE SIGNED THAT THIS EVENING.

ANGELA. OH, YOU'RE THE YOU'RE THE PHOTOGRAPHER TONIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE HAVE SOME STAGGERING NEW STATISTICS FOR 2023.

WE WERE ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN A NATIONWIDE STUDY AS ONE OF THE 50 DIAPER BANKS, AND THERE ARE OVER 200 DIAPER BANKS IN THE COUNTRY THAT CELEBRATE THIS WEEK AS DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK.

WE USED TO SAY THAT 1 IN 3 FAMILIES NEEDED OUR HELP AND STRUGGLED WITH DIAPER NEED.

UNFORTUNATELY, NOW IT'S NEARLY 1 IN 2 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FOUR STRUGGLE TO AFFORD ENOUGH DIAPERS TO KEEP THEIR CHILD CLEAN, DRY AND HEALTHY.

46% OF THOSE FAMILIES REPORT CUTTING BACK ON OTHER ESSENTIALS IN ORDER TO BUY DIAPERS, INCLUDING 35% REPORTING THAT THEY CUT BACK ON GROCERIES. FAMILIES WHO REPORT DIAPER NEED MISS ON AVERAGE, WE USED TO SAY FOUR DAYS A MONTH OF WORK BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH DIAPERS TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO DAYCARE.

AND NOW IT'S NEARLY FIVE DAYS A MONTH BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF DIAPERS FOR DAYCARE.

87 AND THIS IS THE MOST STAGGERING STATISTIC THAT WE FOUND AND SO TROUBLING THAT 87% OF OUR FAMILIES ARE ACTUALLY EMPLOYED AND MOST OF THEM ARE WORKING TWO OR MORE JOBS.

THAT REALLY DEBUNKS THE MYTH THAT THESE THAT THE FAMILIES THAT WE SERVE ARE SINGLE MOMS JUST WANTING GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE.

[00:05:03]

AND 27% OF THE 87% ARE MIDDLE INCOME FAMILIES NOW.

DIAPER COST HAS INCREASED 32% OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

AND SO HAPPY BOTTOMS HAS INITIATED TWO VERY INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITIES.

ONE, WE KNOW THE GAP IS WIDER AND DEEPER.

AND SO IN JANUARY OF 2024, WE WILL BE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF DIAPERS THAT WE PROVIDE TO FAMILY TO 75 DIAPERS VERSUS 50 DIAPERS A MONTH.

AND WE HOPE THAT THAT HELPS IN GETTING FAMILIES BACK TO WORK MORE DAYS, A MONTH.

ON TOP OF THAT, WE HAVE CREATED AN OUTREACH PROGRAM AND WE ARE DOING BUNDLES OF FIVE DIAPERS IN EVERY SIZE WITH A CARD ON IT FOR FAMILIES TO BE ABLE TO GO TO OUR 60 PARTNER AGENCIES THAT WE SERVE.

WE HAVE JUST RECENTLY ROLLED THIS OUT TO THE KANSAS CITY MISSOURI POLICE DEPARTMENT, LEAWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT, INDEPENDENCE FIRE DEPARTMENT, CASA AND SEVERAL OTHER OUTREACH AREAS AND I AM HOPING THAT THE LENEXA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE THESE.

AND ONE QUICK SHORT STORY IS INDEPENDENCE.

WE ROLLED THIS OUT TO INDEPENDENCE IN JULY.

THAT FRIDAY THAT WE HAD THE HORRIBLE STORM IN KANSAS CITY A TREE FELL ON A HOME IN INDEPENDENCE, CAUGHT THE HOUSE ON FIRE AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS FIGHTING THE FIRE.

THE ONLY THE FAMILY GOT OUT WITH BASICALLY THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACKS AND THEY LOST EVERYTHING.

DURING THAT FIRE THE BABY NEEDED TO BE CHANGED.

FIRE DEPARTMENT GRABBED A PACK OF DIAPERS, CHANGED THE DIAPER, WHILE THE OTHER FIREMEN WERE FIGHTING THE FIRE AND THEN GAVE THE FAMILY ENOUGH DIAPERS TO GO INTO EMERGENCY SHELTER.

SO I HOPE THAT WE CAN GET THESE INTO THE HANDS OF THE LENEXA POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT AND HELP WITH OUTREACH IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

THANKS, SUSAN. I'M NOT SURE CHANGING DIAPERS IS A GOOD SALES JOB ON OUR OUR CHIEFS BACK THERE.

WOULDN'T THAT BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE AND IT'S ALSO A GREAT GAUGE OF INTERACTION WITH THE COMMUNITY.

SURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

OUR SECOND PROCLAMATION IS WHEREAS CHANGE IS CONSTANT AND AFFECTS ALL CITIES, SUBURBS, COUNTIES AND OTHER PLACES.

AND WHEREAS, COMMUNITY PLANNING AND PLANS CAN HELP MANAGE THIS CHANGE IN A WAY THAT PROVIDES BETTER CHOICES FOR HOW PEOPLE WORK AND LIVE.

WHEREAS COMMUNITY PLANNING PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL RESIDENTS TO MEANINGFULLY BE AND BE MEANINGFULLY INVOLVED IN MAKING CHOICES THAT DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF THEIR COMMUNITY. AND WHEREAS, THE MONTH OF OCTOBER IS DESIGNATED AS NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

AND WHEREAS, THE CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUBLICLY RECOGNIZE THE PARTICIPATION AND DEDICATION OF PROFESSIONAL STAFF, THE MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE CITIZENS WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED THEIR TIME AND EXPERTISE TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CITY OF LENEXA.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, MICHAEL BOEHM THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF LENEXA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF OCTOBER TO BE NATIONAL COMMUNITY PLANNING MONTH IN LENEXA AND STEPHANIE [APPLAUSE]. COOL.

USUALLY SEE THEM AT CITY COUNCIL, BUT THEY ARE HARD AT WORK FOR PLANNING COMMISSIONS AND ALSO BEHIND THE SCENES, REVIEWING PLANS AND OUT IN THE FIELD DOING INSPECTIONS.

SO OUR TEAM IS COMPRISED OF KIM PORTILLO, DAVE DALECKI AND LOGAN STRASBURGER IS OUR NEWEST PLANNER.

WE ALSO HAVE GLORIA LAMBERT AND JIM WALBERT AND OUR INTERN WILL SHARP.

AND THAT MAKES UP OUR PLANNING DIVISION.

THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE.

WE HAVE VERY TALENTED AND FRIENDLY STAFF AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BRINGING MORE PROJECTS YOUR WAY AND WORKING WITH THAT TEAM FOR MANY MORE YEARS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, STEPHANIE. OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS ONE THROUGH SEVEN.

[CONSENT AGENDA ]

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

MOTION BY JULIE, SECOND BY COURTNEY.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? CONSENT AGENDA HAS BEEN APPROVED.

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT IS AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A THREE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR PERSONAL INSTRUCTION.

[8. Ordinance approving a three-year special use permit for a personal instruction, general use for A Greater You located at 9900 Pflumm Road, Suite 44 in the BP-2, Planned Manufacturing District ]

[00:10:01]

ALL RIGHT IN HONOR OF PLANNING MONTH COMING UP, YOU JUST GET TO HEAR FROM ME A LOT TONIGHT.

SO OUR FIRST ITEM ON THE REGULAR AGENDA TONIGHT IS A GREATER YOU.

AND AS MENTIONED, IT'S A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A THREE YEAR TERM.

AND THE PROJECT LOCATION IS 9900 PFLUMM ROAD, SUITE 44.

ON THE SCREEN NOW, YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION.

IT'S JUST WEST OF PFLUMM ROAD AND SOUTH OF 99TH STREET.

AND THE TENANT SPACE IS DENOTED WITH THE RED STAR ON THE MAP ON THE SCREEN.

THE TENANT SPACE IS APPROXIMATELY 7700FT².

AND WE'LL SEE SOME PICTURES OF THE INSIDE AS WELL.

ZONING WISE, IT IS ZONED BP-2, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PURPLE, AS IS EVERYTHING SURROUNDING IT.

AND IT'S ALSO DENOTED AS BUSINESS PARK ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THIS IS THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING.

AND WE HAVE A FEW PHOTOS OF THE INTERIOR.

THIS PHOTO IS TAKEN FROM THE TOP OF A RAMP THAT IS USED TO HELP TRAINING THE CLIENTS THAT ARE DOING SOCCER TRAINING, AND IT HELPS THEM DECELERATE AS THEY'RE PRACTICING THEIR RUNNING SKILLS.

SO I'M ACTUALLY PRETTY HIGH UP IN THERE.

IT WAS KIND OF COOL. AND YOU CAN SEE VARIOUS SOCCER TRAINING AND WEIGHT TRAINING, ATHLETIC TRAINING AREAS HERE THAT THE APPLICANT CAN EXPLAIN IN MORE DETAIL.

HERE'S ANOTHER VIEW FROM THE OPPOSITE CORNER.

AND THIS IS A LARGER OPEN FIELD FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRACTICING AND TECHNIQUE TRAINING.

AS ALWAYS, THE 13 CRITERIA FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT WERE REVIEWED IN DEPTH AT PLANNING COMMISSION STAGE.

OUR STAFF REPORT DETAILS RESPONSES TO EACH OF THESE 13 CRITERIA, AND I'M HAPPY TO EXPLAIN THEM FURTHER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THEM.

AND I WILL NOTE THAT THIS PARTICULAR APPLICANT DID OCCUPY A DIFFERENT SPACE IN THE SAME BUSINESS PARK PREVIOUSLY IN A SMALLER SPACE THAT DID NOT REQUIRE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS AT THAT LOCATION.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT AND VERY SIMILAR USE MOVING FORWARD TO JUST A LITTLE BIT LARGER LOCATION.

STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND PLANNING COMMISSION ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL FOR THIS SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A GREATER YOU.

I DO ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT IT HAS SOME PARTNERING BUSINESSES CALLED RUNNING MATE CASEY AND SOCCER TRAINER, AND THEY WILL BE PARTNERING AS A GROUP OF THREE DIFFERENT ENTITIES, SHARING THE SPACE ALL FOR THE SAME PURPOSE, BASICALLY OF ATHLETIC AND SOCCER TRAINING TYPE USES.

SO THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT WOULD COVER ALL THREE OF THOSE IN THIS ONE SINGLE 7700 SQUARE FOOT SPACE FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANKS, STEPHANIE.

JASON, ARE YOU HERE THIS EVENING? YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP AND MAKE REMARKS OR STAND FOR QUESTIONING, WHICHEVER YOU PREFER.

BUSINESS PARK IS JUST A GREATER YOU FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.

I'VE OPERATED SOLELY FOR EIGHT YEARS IN AND AROUND THE AREA.

IN THAT TIME, WE'VE STARTED TO REALLY NICHE INTO SOCCER AND WE STARTED TO SHARE A LOT OF THE SAME ATHLETES WITH SOCCER TRAINER CASEY.

HE WOULD JUST WORK OUT ON THE FIELDS 365, 120 DEGREE HEAT, RAIN, SNOW, COLD.

AND SO AS WE SHARED MORE ATHLETES, WE STARTED TO ENTER IN CONVERSATION OF HOW DO WE JUST BRING THE BUSINESSES UNDER ONE ROOF SO THAT ATHLETES, PARENTS COULD COME IN, SEE US FOR AN HOUR FOR THE PERFORMANCE SIDE, STAY FOR AN HOUR, DO THEIR TECHNICAL, AND NOW THEY'RE NOT DRIVING TO MULTIPLE PLACES ON MULTIPLE NIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. SO SAVING THEM TIME, SAVING THEM ENERGY AND THEN RUNNING MATE IS A FRIEND OF MINE WHO'S A RUNNING SPECIFIC CHIROPRACTOR AND PHYSICAL THERAPIST.

HE JUST TREATS ABOUT FIVE PATIENTS A WEEK.

HE DOES MORE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOR OTHER PTS, SO HE JUST SHARES THE SAME FOOTPRINT THAT WE DO ON OUR PERFORMANCE SIDE ABOUT TEN HOURS A WEEK.

SO. OKAY, GREAT.

THANKS, JASON. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? DAN, JUST A QUICK COMMENT.

THANKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S VERY SUCCESSFUL AND DEFINITELY FILLS A NEED.

SO THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? PUBLIC HEARING WAS THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

NO ONE SMOKED. THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN.

SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THE EXPANSION.

THANK YOU. ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE APPROVING THE THREE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

MOTION BY MELANIE. SECOND BY JOE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THANKS FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER NINE IS AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A

[9. Ordinance approving a five-year special use permit for a medical clinic use for NeuroEdge Chiropractic, LLC located at 13100 W. 95th Street, Suite 3A, in the NP-O, Planned Neighborhood Office District ]

[00:15:10]

STEPHANIE THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

STEPHANIE KESSLER HERE AGAIN.

AND AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR NEUROEDGE CHIROPRACTIC TO DO A MEDICAL CLINIC TYPE USE IN THE NPO DISTRICT.

AND THE LOCATION IS AT 13100 95TH STREET, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 95TH AND NOLAN ROAD, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP HERE, THAT IS THE PROPERTY LOCATION HIGHLIGHTED.

IT IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF 95TH AND NOLAN ROAD JUST TO THE WEST OF I-35.

THE SITE IS ZONED, NPO IS MENTIONED, WHICH IS AN OFFICE TYPE DISTRICT AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THIS FOR OFFICE AND EMPLOYMENT CENTER SO IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN ITS CURRENT STATE.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE TENANTS IN THIS BUILDING AND YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE SOME OTHER SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUESTS FOR THIS ONE COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE SHORTLY.

BUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS FOR A CHIROPRACTOR NEUROEDGE CHIROPRACTIC TO LOCATE IN A SPACE IN THIS PARTICULAR TENANT BUILDING.

AND YOU'LL SEE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT STREET VIEWS ON THE SCREEN NOW.

AS I MENTIONED WITH OUR LAST CASE, WE REVIEW 13 DIFFERENT CRITERIA FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS.

THOSE ARE DISCUSSED IN DEPTH IN THE STAFF REPORT, AND I'M HAPPY TO EXPLAIN ANY OF THOSE FURTHER IF NEED BE.

UPON INSPECTION OF THIS PARTICULAR SITE, WE DID NOTICE SOME PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CONCERNS.

SO AS A PART OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT, STAFF DID RECOMMEND SOME CONDITIONS RELATED TO REMEDYING THOSE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CONCERNS.

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THE TRASH BIN IS MISSING SOME SCREENING.

WE DO HAVE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS IN OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE OUR UDC REQUIRE THAT TO BE SCREENED FROM VIEW RATHER THAN JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT.

THERE ARE SOME ISSUES WITH JUST MAINTENANCE OF LANDSCAPING AND VEGETATION.

THE PARKING LOT WAS MENTIONED AS A CONCERN AND HAD A LOT OF JUST POTHOLES AND STRIPING DEFICIENCIES THAT NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS ACTUALLY ALREADY REMEDIED THAT CONCERN.

SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I BELIEVE THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON THE TRASH ENCLOSURE SITUATION AND JUST SOME OF THAT VEGETATION CLEANUP, TREE CLEANUP.

AND THEN IF ANY DEAD TREES ARE REMOVED, THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED PER CODE AS WELL.

STAFF WANTED TO LEVERAGE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT PROCESS IN ORDER TO GET THOSE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ISSUES DONE SATISFACTORILY.

AND YOU'LL SEE AS PART OF OUR RECOMMENDATION, THERE IS A DEADLINE OF 90 DAYS AFTER APPROVAL OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE CONDITIONS.

HOWEVER, IF FOR SOME REASON AFTER 90 DAYS THAT IS NOT COMPLETED, WE WOULD SEEK PROPERTY MAINTENANCE COMPLETION THROUGH OUR NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND CODE ENFORCEMENT TYPE PROCESS BEFORE REVOKING THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

WITH THAT STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS FOR NEUROEDGE CHIROPRACTIC.

WITH THOSE CONDITIONS OF MAKING SURE THAT WITHIN 90 DAYS THOSE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ISSUES GET REMEDIED.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

DR. MALLOY, ARE YOU HERE THIS EVENING? ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? I CAN'T REALLY THINK OF ANY COMMENTS.

I'VE BEEN A ASSOCIATE FOR ABOUT EIGHT YEARS NOW, SO I'M EXCITED TO KIND OF GET OUT ON MY OWN AND HELP THE COMMUNITY OF LENEXA BECAUSE I GREW UP HERE AND WANT TO GET BACK. SO GREAT.

YEAH. YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.

WE HAVE PROPERTY OWNERS AND CODE ISSUES.

IF WE IF THOSE ARE NOT COMPLETED IN THE 90 DAYS IS REQUIRED, IS IT ONE SPECIAL USE PERMIT THAT GETS REVOKED OR IS IT EVERYBODY USING THE BUILDING? DR. MALLOY, CARRY THE BURDEN OF THAT ON HIS PRACTICE OR IS IT A ALL OF OVER? I THINK I THINK I CAN ANSWER THAT.

THE CODE GIVES US SOME OPTIONS TO PURSUE COMPLIANCE.

THESE ARE RELATIVELY MINOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ISSUES AND THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN VERY RECEPTIVE TO WORKING WITH US ON THEM.

SO I'M NOT FORECASTING ANYTHING, BUT THOSE ARE QUESTIONS WE'LL HAVE TO COME ACROSS IF THE IF AFTER 90 DAYS THE THE PROPERTY ISN'T PUT INTO PROPER CODE ORDER.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

AS FAR AS THE TREE TRIMMING AND THE THE BRUSH, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY MANAGER GAVE HER SOME IDEAS ABOUT TREE TRIMMING SERVICES, WHICH, COINCIDENTALLY ENOUGH, WITH THE STORM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, IT'S BEEN A BEAST TRYING TO GET A TREE TRIMMING SPECIALIST BOOKED.

[00:20:03]

WE TRIED TO GET THEM EARLIER, BUT IT JUST TOOK A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THE 19TH, BUT THEY ARE COMING ON THE 22ND AND THE TRASH RECEPTACLE.

I BELIEVE THE DENTIST NEXT DOOR IS WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH PAM, THE BUILDING MANAGER, TO RESOLVE THAT THAT ISSUE THROUGH A MUTUAL CONTACT WITH THE DENTIST CHURCH, IF I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY.

BUT YEAH, WE'RE WORKING HARD TO GET THOSE ISSUES RESOLVED.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE QUESTIONS? NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE APPROVING THE FIVE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR NEUROEDGE.

SECOND, I DIDN'T FINISH, SO I DON'T KNOW WHO SAID THAT.

OKAY. MOTION BY CRAIG.

SECOND BY JULIE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM NUMBER TEN IS AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A FIVE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR MEDICAL CLINIC USE HEADACHE RELIEF CENTER LOCATED 8807 LONG STREET IN THE NPO PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD

[10. Ordinance approving a five-year special use permit for a medical clinic use for Headache Relief Center located at 8807 Long Street in the NP-O, Planned Neighborhood Office District ]

STEPHANIE. STEPHANIE KESSLER AGAIN AND WE HAVE ANOTHER SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A CHIROPRACTOR, THIS TIME AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION AT 8807 LONG STREET. AND THIS ONE IS KNOWN AS HEADACHE RELIEF CENTER.

ON THE SCREEN HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION OF THE SITE.

IT IS AT ABOUT 88TH AND LONG, IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR.

THIS IS JUST TO THE WEST OF THE POST OFFICE THAT'S ON MONROVIA STREET AND SOUTH OF 87TH STREET.

THIS IS ALSO A MULTI-TENANT BUILDING.

AND THIS PARTICULAR TENANT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

THE SITE IS ZONED NPO AN OFFICE TYPE ZONING DISTRICT.

AND YOU CAN SEE AROUND IT THERE'S A MIXTURE OF CP-2 IN THE RED TO THE NORTH, EAST AND SOUTH AND THEN TO THE WEST, BP-2 IN THE PURPLE AND ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, THE SITE IS BUSINESS PARK DESIGNATION, AND AROUND IT IN THE RED YOU HAVE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL CENTER AND PUBLIC AND OPEN SPACE WHERE THE POST OFFICE IS LOCATED IN THE GREEN.

HERE ARE SOME STREET VIEWS OF THE BUILDING.

AGAIN, IT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND IT'S ONE OF MANY TENANTS IN THE BUILDING AND THEY ARE SEEKING THAT SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR FIVE YEARS FOR THE MEDICAL CLINIC TYPE USE IN ORDER TO HAVE A CHIROPRACTIC OFFICE AT THIS LOCATION.

AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THERE ARE 13 CRITERIA REVIEWED FOR SPECIAL USE PERMITS, AND WE GO INTO THOSE IN DEPTH IN OUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORTS.

I'M HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE OR ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

AND STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION BOTH RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A MEDICAL CLINIC, USE FOR HEADACHE RELIEF CENTER FOR FIVE YEARS.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

SCOTT, ARE YOU HERE THIS EVENING? I'M HERE. THANK YOU. REMARKS.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, GOOD EVENING.

I STAND HERE AS A PROUD RESIDENT OF LENEXA AS OF LAST FRIDAY, LENEXA HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO MY BUSINESS.

I'M CURRENTLY IN MY 31ST YEAR IN PRIVATE PRACTICE.

MY PRACTICE IS EXCLUSIVELY HEADACHE AND MIGRAINE RELATED.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTHER CASES.

WE ALSO HAVE A NETWORK OF NEUROLOGISTS, PAIN SPECIALISTS.

SO OUR PHILOSOPHY IS FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM FIRST AND RATHER THAN GETTING THE TYPE OF TREATMENT THAT THAT PARTICULAR DOCTOR HAPPENS TO PROVIDE, LET'S MAKE SURE THEY GET WHAT THEY REALLY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL.

I WAS IN A MEDICAL BUILDING PREVIOUSLY YEARS AGO AND MOVED TO LENEXA, AS A MATTER OF FACT, AT 95TH AND NOLAND.

WE WERE THERE ABOUT EIGHT YEARS.

AND BECAUSE OUR PATIENT BASE COMES FROM THE ENTIRE KANSAS CITY AREA, IT'S BEEN A BLESSING FOR MY BUSINESS, BEING SO CONVENIENT FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO JUMP OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES PULL IN FRONT OF THE DOOR AND BE ABLE TO COME IN.

IN A NUTSHELL, I WANTED TO JUST SAY A FEW WORDS, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, AND AGAIN, OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? DO YOU WANT ME TO READ IT OR DOES SOMEONE WANT TO READ IT MAKE A MOTION? I'LL PULL OUT MY NUN'S RULER HERE IN A MINUTE.

I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE A FIVE YEAR SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR MEDICAL USES HEADACHE RELIEF CENTER AT 807 LONG STREET.

MOTION BY TOM.

SECOND BY DAN. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED.

APPROVED. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU FOR STAYING IN LENEXA AND YOUR INVESTMENT.

ITEM NUMBER 11 IS CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAN/PLAT FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS FALCON FARM, LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF

[11. Consideration of a preliminary plan/plat for a single-family residential subdivision known as Falcon Farm, located near the northeast corner of 101st Street & Lone Elm Road within the R-1, Single-Family Residential District ]

THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[00:25:02]

THIS PROJECT WAS PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AND SIGNED AS RAMAN 101ST STREET SINGLE FAMILY.

SO JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE, AKA RAMAN 101ST SINGLE FAMILY, SAME PROJECT.

AND THIS IS NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 101ST AND LONE ELM.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE, THE SUBJECT SITE IS OUTLINED IN RED, AND IT IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF LONE ELM ROAD AND NORTH OF 101ST STREET.

ON THE ZONING MAP THE SITE IS ZONED R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IT IS CLASSIFIED AS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL.

AS IS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING AROUND IT, EXCEPT FOR SOME OFFICE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF LONE ELM AND 101ST STREET.

THIS IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AND THIS IS FOR 66 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS EIGHT TRACKS AND IT'S A TOTAL OF 30 ACRES FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. THE DENSITY IS 2.2 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THERE WAS A PREVIOUS PLAT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN THAT WAS THE STONE VIEW THIRD PLAT AND THAT EXPIRED BACK IN 2010.

THIS PARTICULAR PLAT WE SEE TODAY FOR FALCON FARM IS VERY SIMILAR IN A LOT OF WAYS EXCEPT FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE.

THAT AREA WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE SIKH TEMPLE, SO THAT'S NO LONGER PART OF THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS THAT YOU SEE IN THE ORIGINAL PLAT.

AND I WANTED TO SHOW THIS IMAGE AGAIN, JUST TO GIVE YOU THAT CONTEXT WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT AT THE SIKH TEMPLE.

AND BASICALLY THESE LOTS THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE ALONG 99TH TERRACE AND WHAT TURNS INTO MARION STREET HERE WILL LINE THAT STREET AND FACE TOWARD LONE ELM AND 101ST STREET AND THE SIKH TEMPLE.

ALSO NOTABLE IS AN EASEMENT FOR POWER LINES GOING THROUGH DIAGONALLY.

THAT'S WHAT ALL THOSE DIAGONAL LINES ARE IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA.

THIS IS PROPOSED TO BE HOUSING CLASSIFICATION A SO YOU CAN SEE FALCON FARM THERE DENOTED WITH AN A IN RED.

ALL THE DIFFERENT SUBDIVISIONS IN THE VICINITY ARE COLORED, A DIFFERENT COLOR.

AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE DIFFERENT NAMES OF THE SUBDIVISION AND THEIR HOUSING CLASSIFICATION.

THIS SLIDE ALSO INCLUDES A TABLE OF THE MINIMUM GROUND FLOOR AREA REQUIREMENT FOR EACH HOUSING CLASSIFICATION.

SO WITH HOUSING CLASSIFICATION, A A ONE STORY OR SPLIT LEVEL WOULD HAVE TO HAVE 2400FT² OF GROUND FLOOR.

A ONE AND A HALF STORY WOULD HAVE 1650FT² MINIMUM FOR THE GROUND FLOOR.

AND IF THERE IS A TWO STORY, IT WOULD BE 1250FT² ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

THERE ARE SOME LANDSCAPE BUFFERS TO NOTE AS WELL ALONG LONE ELM ROAD AND 101ST STREET, AND THERE ARE SOME CONDITIONS RELATED TO THAT FOR FINAL STAGE.

YOU'LL SEE HERE THAT THERE ARE SOME PLANTINGS PROPOSED.

HOWEVER, THE WIDTH DOES NOT MEET CODE AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THAT WIDTH BE WIDENED TO MEET THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENT.

THERE IS A PUBLIC TRAIL PLANNED.

THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM OUR TRAIL PLAN.

YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH THE PARTICULAR PLAT BOUNDARY WHICH IS OUTLINED HERE IN BLACK.

THAT SHAPE THERE THROUGH THAT POWER LINE EASEMENT, THERE IS A PLANNED TRAIL.

AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT ALIGNMENT ON THE SITE PLAN OR THE PLAT HERE.

I DO WANT TO NOTE, SPEAKING OF SITE PLAN AND PLAT, THIS IS FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT/PLAN.

THEY ARE SERVING IN TANDEM WITH EACH OTHER FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

SO YOU WOULD JUST SEE A FINAL PLAT COME BACK THROUGH.

AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THERE ARE SOME REVISIONS THAT WE RECOMMENDED FOR THE FINAL PLAT AND THOSE HAVE TO DO WITH SOME PARTICULAR LANGUAGE FOR THE TRAIL EASEMENT.

THE HOUSING CLASSIFICATION WAS NOT ORIGINALLY NOTED ON THE PLAT, SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT GOT NOTED FOR THE FINAL PLAT.

THERE WOULD BE A COUPLE OTHER NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE OF TRACKS AND SOME LANGUAGE ADDED FOR THAT, AS WELL AS MAINTENANCE AND DEDICATIONS AND EASEMENTS.

AND THEN AS I MENTIONED WITH THE LANDSCAPING TRACT D IS ONE OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS ALONG LONE ELM AND THAT WOULD NEED TO BE INCREASED TO THE MINIMUM OF 15FT. SO THESE ARE JUST SOME COMMENTS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE APPLICANT SAW AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION SAW TO BE SURE THAT THEY GOT ADDRESSED BETWEEN PRELIMINARY AND FINAL STAGE.

WITH THAT STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR FALCON FARM, AGAIN ALSO KNOWN AS RAMAN AND 101ST STREET, ORIGINALLY AT

[00:30:05]

THANK YOU. THANKS, STEPHANIE.

THANK YOU. IS MR. FINN HERE? AND IF YOU'RE AT LIBERTY TO DISCLOSE WHO THE DEVELOPER IS.

VERMONT PROPERTY IS THE DEVELOPER.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR. COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS MASON OLSON. I'M A CIVIL ENGINEER WITH OLSON HERE TO REPRESENT THE DEVELOPER TONIGHT.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT SPELLINGS ON THAT OLSON I'M ONE.

OLSON I WORK FOR US TOO.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR HEARING OUR CASE TONIGHT.

STEPHANIE DID A GREAT JOB DESCRIBING THE PROJECT, SO I WILL NOT ADD TOO MUCH MORE TO THAT.

I'LL JUST SAY THAT THE DEVELOPER IS EXCITED TO BRING ADDITIONAL SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO LENEXA, AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL? JOE. YEAH, A QUESTION AND COMMENT.

SO QUESTION FIRST, HOW IS WATER HANDLED OR RETAINED? IS THERE A REGIONAL FACILITY? YEAH, THERE IS AN EXISTING DETENTION POND THAT WAS ALREADY CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE PRIOR STONE VIEW DEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE UTILIZING A PORTION OF THAT POND AND PART OF OUR DEVELOPMENT.

WE ARE ADDING TWO ADDITIONAL PONDS, ONE TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE PROPERTY AND ONE ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

MY COMMENT IS I'M SUPER EXCITED TO SEE MORE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS, I WOULD ASSUME, WITH THE POWER LINES GOING THROUGH A DIFFICULT PIECE TO DEVELOP.

SO VERY HAPPY TO SEE THIS AND EXCITED TO SEE IT COME FORWARD.

THANK YOU, MAYOR.

SO 1,600 FOOT IS WHAT I SEE IN OUR PACKET AND SO FORTH.

WHAT'S THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE HOUSE? BECAUSE THE 1,600 JUST MY IMPRESSION WAS IT'S A FAIRLY SMALL HOUSE FOR A FAIRLY DECENT FOOTPRINT IN THE LOT.

YEAH. THE INTENT IS TO MEET THE CLASSIFICATION A SO FOR A SINGLE STORY HOME IT WOULD BE 2400FT² MINIMUM.

ALL OUR LOTS ARE SPACED IN SIZE COORDINATES THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR LENEXA AND CAN ALL FIT A 50 BY 50 HOUSE FOOTPRINT WITHIN THE SETBACK BOUNDARIES.

SO THE GRADING LAYS OUT TO THERE COULD BE SOME SPLIT AND FULL BASEMENT HOMES MIXED IN WITH THERE.

IT JUST KIND OF COMES WITH THE DEVELOPER'S CHOICE OF WHAT THE FINAL PRODUCT WILL END UP BEING.

OKAY. AND WHAT'S YOUR PRICE POINT? I BELIEVE THE RANGE WAS IN THE $700,000 PLUS RANGE.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

OTHER QUESTIONS? JULIE.

MINE IS FOR STEPHANIE.

PLEASE REFRESH IF THERE'S ANY REQUIREMENT FOR LANDSCAPING OR FENCES ALONG AN EASEMENT.

SO WHAT WOULD THE BACK OF ALL OF THOSE PROPERTIES LOOK LIKE UP AGAINST THE FUTURE TRAIL, I GUESS IS MY QUESTION.

SO THERE'S NO LANDSCAPING EASEMENT BETWEEN WHERE THAT TRAIL WOULD BE AND THE BACK OF THE PROPERTIES, SO IT WOULD JUST PUT THEM RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY LINE. THERE'S NOTHING.

OKAY. AND THERE'S ALSO RESTRICTIONS THAT EVERGY HAS WITH WHAT CAN GO IN THAT EASEMENT.

SO THEY'RE OFTEN VERY PICKY WITH THE LEVEL OF LANDSCAPING THAT THEY WOULD ALLOW.

OBVIOUSLY NO TREES.

AND I'VE HEARD EVEN SHRUBS ARE KIND OF BEING SO YEAH. COURTNEY, IT WAS JUST A COMMENT FOR STAFF.

I REALLY APPRECIATED THE CLASSIFICATION TABLE WITH THE A, B, C, D.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BEFORE OR AT LEAST I HAVEN'T IN MY TERM.

AND SO I THAT WAS NEW INFO TO BE ADDED INTO THIS AND I APPRECIATED THAT.

THANK YOU, BILL.

YES, STEPHANIE, THANK YOU FOR THAT CHART.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION ASKED ABOUT THE SIZES AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE ANSWER, BUT THAT CHART REALLY, REALLY SHOWS IT. SO THANK YOU.

ARE WE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S THREE STORMWATER AREAS THE LOOKS LIKE ONE IS SAYS EXISTING.

SO WITH THIS THERE ARE EIGHT TRACKS AND LET ME PULL UP MY NOTES HERE ON EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE ALL FOR.

IT LOOKS LIKE TIM MIGHT HAVE A QUICK ANSWER FOR YOU.

BILL. YOU'RE CORRECT.

THE ONE THE LARGE ONE DOWN ON THE SOUTH END HERE, IT'S AN EXISTING BASIN THAT'S BEING USED BY PART OF STONE VIEW.

THERE'LL BE SOME WORK DONE TO IT.

SO IT WILL BE ONE.

THERE'S ONE

[00:35:01]

THERE'S A BASIN UP HERE AND THEN THERE'S A THIRD BASIN THAT WILL BE BUILT UP IN THIS CORNER.

SO THERE WILL BE THREE BASINS.

YOU KNOW, SO IT IT SERVES HIGHLAND CREST AND ALSO LAND TO THE SOUTH.

I BELIEVE IT SERVES PART OF STONE VIEW TO THE SOUTH, CORRECT? YEAH. NOW, IS IT GOING TO BE THAT HOAS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN THAT? YES. PLANNING COMMISSION ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OTHER TWO AND I THINK IT THAT THIRD ONE SNUCK UP ON ME.

YES. YEAH.

IT'S AN EXISTING BASIN THAT'S OUT THERE NOW AND I BELIEVE THAT PROPERTY OWNER IS MAINTAINING IT.

IT'S A DETENTION BASIN.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF MAINTENANCE TO IT.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTATION? BECAUSE I KNOW WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH SOME STORMWATER OUT WEST OF SAINT JAMES AND ALSO WEST OF LONE ELM. WHAT'S THE EXPECTATION? I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A DETENTION BASIN, CORRECT? YEAH, IT'S JUST A DETENTION BASIN, SO THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT IT CAN BE LEFT NATIVE.

THERE'LL BE WHATEVER REQUIREMENTS WE TYPICALLY HAVE FOR MOWING ADJACENT TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.

BUT THE BASIN ITSELF CAN BE JUST A NATIVE BASIN.

YEAH. THAT THOSE TWO BACK RIGHT UP TO HOUSES, CORRECT? YEAH. SO THERE THERE NEEDS TO BE AN EXPECTATION SET ON LIKE YOU SAY, I WOULD THINK MOWING PUT A, PUT AN EDGE ON IT AND WHATEVER'S BEHIND THE EDGE.

OKAY LOOK I THINK.

WE'LL LOOK AT THAT CLOSER WOULD YOU PLEASE.

YEAH. THE THE JOGGING TRAIL EASEMENT, YOU KNOW IT GOES IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO LIVE CHURCH ALSO, AND ALSO UP TO BUFFALO MEADOWS.

CORRECT. WHEN WE WHEN WE GET AROUND TO BUILDING THAT TRAIL.

CITY MAINTAIN IT? YES. AND IT WOULD BE A CITY TRAIL THAT WE CONSTRUCT.

AND I ASSUME WE WOULD MAINTAIN IT.

I HOPE SO, YES.

UNLESS. I DON'T KNOW.

YEAH. LOGAN SHAKING.

YES. YES. IT WOULD BE A TRAIL WE WOULD BUILD.

AND AS THOSE PLATS HAVE COME THROUGH, THE ONE TO THE SOUTH FOR THE CHURCH AND THEN THE SUBDIVISIONS TO THE NORTH, WE HAVE GOT GOTTEN ADDITIONAL EASEMENTS FOR TRAILS ON ALL OF THOSE.

SO WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD SWATH THROUGH HERE NOW THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY, IF WE START IF WE FUNDED TRAILS, WE HAVE A GOOD SWATH IN THERE THAT WE COULD START BUILDING.

WHEN WE FUND TRAILS.

YEAH. WHAT WHAT? BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT THE SUBDIVISION SUBDIVISION MAINTAINING AND THAT TO ME IMPLIES MOWING AND KEEPING IT NOT TOO OVERGROWN ON THE TRAIL.

BUT IS IT OUR EXPECTATION THAT AFTER WE BUILD IT, WE'LL MOW AND MAINTAIN? I'M GOING TO DEFER TO LOGAN TYPICALLY WE'LL MOW A STRIP.

YEAH. BECAUSE THIS IS QUITE A SWATH THROUGH HERE.

I THINK THIS IS PART OF THE REASON IT'S SAT VACANT SO LONG.

YES. HARD TO LIKE JOE SAID, HARD TO DEVELOP.

YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT.

WE WOULD MOW MOW STRIP ON EACH SIDE OF THE TRAIL, MAINTAIN A BUFFER.

AND WHAT ABOUT IT'S 20FT? SO YOU GOT TEN FEET AND THREE ON EACH SIDE AND YEAH, 20FT TOTAL, ABOUT A TEN FOOT WIDE TRAIL IS TYPICALLY WHAT OUR STANDARD IS NOW GOING FORWARD.

SO WE MIGHT AS WELL DO THE WHOLE THING.

YEAH, MIGHT AS WELL MIGHT AS WELL.

YEAH. SO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THINK IT'S OURS, SO WE MIGHT AS WELL DO IT TO OUR STANDARDS.

YEAH. YEAH. OKAY.

AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT WILL BE DEPENDING ON HOW WE LAY THAT TRAIL OUT IN THAT EASEMENT TOO.

I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE A STRAIGHT SHOT.

WE'LL MEANDER IT AND DEPENDING ON HOW CLOSE IT IS TO THE EDGES AND TO THE BASE AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS, I THINK IT'LL JUST BE CASE BY CASE HOW WE LAY IT ALL OUT.

I DON'T RECALL SEEING THAT ON THE CIP YET.

NO. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

GOT IT. THANKS. CIRCLE BACK TO DAN.

REAL QUICK. MAYBE TIMING OFF.

USUALLY WE SEE RENDERINGS OF THE HOMES AND THE WHATEVERS AND SO FORTH JUST AHEAD OF THE GAME IN TERMS OF NOT SEEING ANY PICTURES.

I'M SORRY. YES, YOU ARE CORRECT.

USUALLY I THINK WE WOULD BE SHOWING THAT AT FINAL PLAN STAGE.

BUT IF YOU'D LIKE, I'M SURE MASON COULD TALK ABOUT INTENDED ARCHITECTURE OR STORIES OR ANY SORT OF DESIGN AT THIS POINT. AT THE MOMENT, I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING CONCRETE FOR THE FINAL LOOK AND STYLE.

THAT HAS JUST NOT BEEN QUITE FINALIZED YET.

OKAY. THANK YOU. CONFIRM ONE THING FOR ME.

[00:40:05]

THEY LOOK OUT OF KILTER.

AND THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT WHOLE SUBDIVISION.

THOSE WILL BE JOINED.

THAT'S CORRECT. AND JUST TO POINT THIS OUT, TOO, THIS IS NOT SINGLE FAMILY LOTS RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS A TRACT WITH A BASIN IN IT.

SO SOME OF THOSE EXISTING HOMES THAT RIGHT NOW ABUTTING UP TO WHERE THE STREET ENDS ARE ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO BACK UP TO OTHER HOMES.

IT'S GOING TO BE TO THIS BASIN HERE.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? THEN I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN/PLAT FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS FALCON FARM.

MOTION BY DAN SECOND BY JOE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE PLAN IS APPROVED. THANK YOU.

[12. Consideration of a preliminary plan/plat for a multi-family residential development known as Canyon Creek Apartment Homes, located near the northeast corner of K-10 Highway & Canyon Creek Boulevard within the RP-4, Residential Planned (High-Density) District and the RP-2, Residential Planned (Intermediate-Density) District ]

APARTMENT HOMES LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF K-10 HIGHWAY AND CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD WITHIN THE RP-4 PLANNED RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY RP-4 RESIDENTIAL PLANNED HIGH DENSITY DISTRICT AND THE RP-2 RESIDENTIAL PLAN TO MEET INTERMEDIATE DISTRICT.

STEPHANIE THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL STEPHANIE KESSLER HERE AGAIN FOR THE LAST PLANNING ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

AND THIS IS CANYON CREEK APARTMENT HOMES.

IF YOU RECALL, THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT CAME THROUGH EARLIER THIS YEAR CALLED CEDAR CANYON WEST IN CONCEPT STAGE.

SO YOU MIGHT SEE THAT TERM WRITTEN IN THE STAFF REPORT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND DISCUSS THIS EVENING.

BUT THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAN AND PLAT FOR A MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD AND K-10 HIGHWAY.

NOW ON THE MAP YOU WILL SEE THE SUBJECT SITE OUTLINED IN RED.

IT'S KIND OF A STRANGE SHAPE IN THE MIDDLE OF UNDEVELOPED LAND, BUT THIS PROJECT WILL ENTAIL A COMPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION OF 100TH STREET FOR THIS PROJECT'S ACCESS.

SO THAT IS A SEPARATE PROJECT, SEPARATE PLAT THAT WENT THROUGH AT A SIMILAR TIME THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION AND WAS ON YOUR CONSENT AGENDA.

SO ON OUR NEXT SLIDE HERE WE HAVE THE CEDAR CANYON WEST CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH WAS APPROVED EARLIER THIS YEAR.

YOU MAY RECALL THAT THIS PARTICULAR SITE, TRACT FOUR, WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, TO THE CITY COUNCIL AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME LAST YEAR AND WAS ACTUALLY REMANDED BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO TALK ABOUT RP-4 AND RP-5, BECAUSE ORIGINALLY THEY PROPOSED RP-5 IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA, WENT BACK THROUGH FOR ANOTHER LOOK AND THEY CHANGED THEIR PROPOSAL TO GO TO RP-4 ZONING WITH SOME HEIGHT DEVIATIONS FOR BUILDINGS.

SO I KNOW THAT WAS MANY MONTHS AGO AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PROJECTS IN BETWEEN.

BUT JUST TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY, THAT'S THE SHORT SUMMARY OF THE HISTORY AND WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE CONCEPT PLAN AND THE HEIGHT DEVIATIONS IN THIS POWERPOINT.

I WANTED TO POINT OUT HERE THAT THE SITE IS ZONED MOSTLY RP-4 ABOUT 16.5 ACRES RP-4 ZONED IN THAT RED AREA.

AND THE RP-2 PORTION WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR SOME TOWNHOMES OR DUPLEX STYLE DEVELOPMENT, BUT THEY WANTED TO INCLUDE THAT PORTION OF THIS WITH THEIR MULTIFAMILY PROJECT FOR THE PURPOSES OF A DOG PARK AMENITY FOR THE RESIDENTS.

SO IT WILL NOT HAVE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS.

IT'LL JUST BE FOR A DOG PARK AMENITY AT THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION AT THE CORNER OF 99TH AND FUTURE 100TH STREET.

THAT'S ABOUT AN ACRE IN SIZE IN THAT YELLOW AREA.

ALSO OF NOTE IS IN GREEN HERE.

THERE IS SOME RP-4 ZONING REMAINING, ABOUT EIGHT ACRES OF IT JUST TO THE WEST.

SO BETWEEN CONCEPT PLAN AND THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN, THE TRACT BOUNDARY OR THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT BOUNDARY HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT.

SO THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS YOU SORT OF HOW THAT TRACT FOUR AND A PORTION OF TRACT FIVE HAVE BEEN CARVED OUT DIFFERENTLY THAN THAT ORIGINAL CONCEPT PLAN.

AGAIN, THE PROJECT SITE IS THE RED AREA, PLUS THE YELLOW AREA, NOT THE GREEN AREA.

NOW ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE ZONING MAP AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ALREADY, IT'S ZONED RP-4 IN THE BROWN FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE PARCEL AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF ZONED RP-2 IN THE YELLOW WHERE THAT DOG PARK WILL BE LOCATED. AND AROUND IT YOU CAN SEE SOME MORE RP-2 THAT OTHER SECTION OF RP-4 AND SOME BP-2 ABUTTING IT TO THE EAST.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THE SITE FOR OFFICE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER, AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A COMP PLAN UPDATE AND UPDATING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WILL ALSO BE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THAT.

[00:45:04]

SO IT IS, AS OF RIGHT NOW, NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN.

BUT WITH THAT UPDATE IT WILL INCLUDE UPDATING THAT MAP TO MATCH WHAT'S BEEN ZONED AND PLANNED FOR THE AREA.

THIS IS THE SITE PLAN.

AND I'VE GOT SOME QUICK FACTS FOR YOU ON THE SCREEN HERE.

THERE'S A TOTAL OF JUST OVER 200 DWELLING UNITS, 212 TO BE EXACT, FIVE BUILDINGS AND A TOTAL OF JUST OVER 200,000FT² OF BUILDING AREA.

AND THE BUILDINGS ARE 3 TO 4 STORY'S TALL.

AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE MORE IN DEPTH WHEN WE TALK ABOUT DEVIATIONS.

AMENITY WISE, AS MENTIONED, THERE'S A DOG PARK, THERE'S AN EXERCISE AREA, PAVILIONS, HAMMOCKS AND A TRAIL AND SIDEWALK CONNECTIONS THROUGHOUT.

WE'VE GOT SOME MORE GRAPHICS ON THE CONNECTIONS HERE IN JUST A COUPLE OF SLIDES.

AND DENSITY WISE, THE RP-4 ZONING DISTRICT ALLOWS A MAXIMUM OF 16 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THE CONCEPT PLAN SHOWED 13.07 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

AND THE PROPOSED PLAN THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY IS ACTUALLY LESS THAN BOTH OF THOSE AT 12.82 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

DOES THAT INCLUDE THE DOG PARK LAND AREA IN THE CALCULATION? YES. OKAY.

AS MENTIONED, THERE'S A LOT OF CONNECTIVITY GOING HERE IN YELLOW.

YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE 100TH STREET AND 99TH PLACE.

THERE ARE SIDEWALKS IN GREEN SO YOU SEE A LOT OF SIDEWALK CONNECTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT HERE.

THERE IS A TRAIL JUST TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY IN BLUE, AND THAT WILL GO ALONG THAT STREAM CORRIDOR AREA AND CONNECT, HOPEFULLY THROUGH A WHOLE NEW TRAIL SYSTEM ON THE WEST SIDE OF CLARE ROAD AS IT GOES THROUGH SORT OF THIS WESTERN PORTION OF LENEXA BETWEEN CLARE ROAD AND CEDAR CANYON OR SORRY, CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD.

THERE'S ALSO CONNECTIVITY THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT DRIVE AISLE APPROACHES BOTH ONTO THE PUBLIC STREETS AND FUTURE CONNECTIONS INTENDED TO THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST.

AGAIN, THAT WEST PROPERTY IS ZONED RP-4 AS WELL, AND WE WANTED TO BUILD IN SOME CONNECTIVITY SO THAT WE'RE PLANNING ACCORDINGLY FOR THOSE TWO SITES TO MESH WELL TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE.

SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE'S ONE CONNECTION POINT HERE AND ONE TOWARD THE SOUTH.

THIS IS THE PRELIMINARY PLAT COLORIZED FOR YOUR VIEWING ABILITY AND YOU CAN SEE LOT ONE, WHICH IS WHERE THAT MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT WILL RESIDE IS IN RED HERE. THERE IS STREAM BUFFER ALONG THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY WHICH WILL BE PRESERVED AND INCLUDE THAT TRAIL CONNECTION WE SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

THERE'S ALSO SOME RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE NEW 100TH STREET AND 99TH PLACE AND SOME TRACKS THAT YOU SEE IN YELLOW TRACT B AT THAT DOG PARK AMENITY AREA.

ARCHITECTURALLY, THERE ARE SOME QUALITY BUILDING MATERIALS PROPOSED.

AS YOU CAN SEE, VARIOUS TYPES OF SIDING AND STONE WILL BE A PART OF THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT.

AND TYPICAL IMAGES OF RAILINGS AND WINDOWS AND BUILDING ACCENTS AND INSPIRATION ARE HERE ON THE SCREEN AS WELL. THIS IS JUST PRELIMINARY STAGE, SO THESE WILL BE FINE TUNED BEFORE THE FINAL PLAN IS APPROVED.

NOW, ON THE SCREEN HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE RENDERINGS OF THE ARCHITECTURE AGAIN, WITH THOSE MATERIALS YOU SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

AND YOU WILL NOTE ON SOME OF THESE HERE YOU SEE A FOURTH STORY AND SOME YOU SEE THREE.

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE BETTER SLIDES TO SHOW THIS DEVIATION, BUT I'LL START TALKING ABOUT BUILDING HEIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE SITE AND THE WAY THAT THE SITE JUST SORT OF FALLS DOWN TOWARD THAT STREAM BUFFER AREA.

THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING THAT SEVERAL OF THE BUILDINGS HAVE A THREE AND FOUR STORY SPLIT TYPE BUILDING.

SO ONE SIDE OF THE BUILDING WOULD BE THREE STORIES AND THE OTHER WOULD BE FOUR STORIES, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO FOUR STORIES UPWARD.

IT WOULD BE ACTUALLY LIKE DIGGING OUT TOWARD THE BASEMENT, EXCEPT IT WOULD DAYLIGHT OUT TO A SIDEWALK LEVEL.

SO WE'VE GOT SOME MORE IMAGES ON THAT.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE ARCHITECTURE WHAT THAT FOURTH STORY LOOKS LIKE IN SOME CASES.

AND IN THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, EVEN A PORTION OF THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING IS ONLY THREE STORIES.

[00:50:02]

SWITCHING GEARS FOR JUST A MINUTE HERE FROM BUILDING HEIGHT IS THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.

THIS IS A GREAT GRAPHIC TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW GREEN THE SITE IS.

ALL OF THE GREENERY THAT'S GOING TO BE PRESERVED OR REESTABLISHED IN THE LIGHTER GREEN COLOR NEAR THE STREAM BUFFER.

AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A GOOD BIT OF PRESERVATION ALONG K-10 AS WELL.

IF YOU HAVEN'T DRIVEN BY THE SITE OUT HERE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO.

IT IS VERY DENSE WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT NATIVE SPECIES.

SOME OF IT'S PROBABLY SCRUB TREES AND WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED.

SOME OF IT WILL BE REMOVED FOR GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PARTICULAR PLAN.

BUT THEY ARE DOING A LOT OF WORK TO TRY AND EITHER PRESERVE OR REESTABLISH PLANTING OUT THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE SOME MATURE SCREENING TYPE SHRUBBERY AND TREES THAT REMAIN AS THE BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED.

NEW PLANTINGS ARE IN THE DARKER GREEN COLOR ON THE SCREEN AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF THEM AROUND THE STREETS AND THE BUILDINGS.

AND IT SHOULD HELP OFFSET, YOU KNOW, THE CHARACTER OF THE BUILDING TOWARD THE PAVEMENT OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE PRESENCE ON THE STREET.

SWITCHING BACK TO TALKING ABOUT BUILDING HEIGHT DEVIATION, YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE THE FIVE DIFFERENT BUILDINGS WE'VE GOT BUILDING ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR AND FIVE IN THE PURPLE OR NAVY BLUE HERE, HOWEVER YOU VIEW IT, SOME OF US PREFER PURPLE.

HA HA. HAD TO GET MY ONE JOKE IN TONIGHT.

GUYS, LIFE IS COMPLETE.

I'VE BEEN GAVELED. OKAY, SO BUILDING FOUR AND FIVE ALREADY RECEIVED A DEVIATION AT CONCEPT STAGE.

IF YOU IF YOU RECALL THEY'RE A MAXIMUM OF 48FT HIGH IN BUILDING HEIGHT.

AND THEY WERE APPROVED FOR JUST THAT EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

BECAUSE OF REFINING THE PLAN BETWEEN CONCEPT STAGE AND PRELIMINARY STAGE, THE APPLICANT NOW IS REQUESTING ADDITIONAL HEIGHT DEVIATIONS FOR THESE AREAS IN ORANGE ON BUILDING TWO AND THREE, AND THAT WOULD BE FOR THE SAME TYPE OF DEVIATION AS FOUR AND FIVE.

IT'D BE FOUR STORIES IN JUST THE AREAS THAT YOU ROUGHLY SEE HERE IN ORANGE FOR MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 48FT.

SO IT'S ABOUT A 13 FOOT DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT THE CODE ALLOWS, BUILDING ONE AND THE WEST SIDES OF ALL OF THESE BUILDINGS THAT YOU SEE IN THE TAN COLOR WOULD REMAIN AT THREE STORIES. SO, AGAIN, THIS IS JUST DUE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY.

THE APPLICANT PROVIDED SEVERAL IMAGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF THIS TO GIVE US A BETTER LOOK AT IT.

YOU CAN SEE WITH THIS PARTICULAR ONE HERE IS A SIDE VIEW FROM K-10 LOOKING AT BUILDING ONE, THREE AND FOUR.

AND EVEN THOUGH BUILDING THREE AND FOUR ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE FOUR STORIES ON THE EAST SIDE HERE, THEY'RE ACTUALLY SHORTER THAN THIS THREE STORY BUILDING. IF YOU LOOK AT THEM FROM K-10.

SO THERE'S A GOOD PERSPECTIVE OF THE ELEVATION CHANGE FOR THOSE BUILDINGS.

AND YOU CAN SEE THESE ARROWS INDICATE SORT OF WHAT YOUR VIEW IS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT ON TOP HERE.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE I KNOW IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO VIEW IT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AREA AS WELL AS THE HIGHWAY.

SO THE APPLICANT PROVIDED THIS PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.

I DO WANT TO NOTE THIS HOME SITE HERE INDICATED BY THE LETTER A, IT'S NOT A LOT THAT'S PARTICULARLY LOW.

IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE HIGHER ONES, I BELIEVE.

SO THE APPLICANT MADE SURE THAT THIS WOULD BE ACCURATE BASED ON A HIGHER LOT VIEWING ALL THE WAY OVER TOWARD THESE BUILDINGS HERE.

AND YOU CAN SEE ON TOP OF THE SCREEN HERE IS THAT A HOME AND ITS EXISTING HEIGHT.

AND AS IT LOOKS OVER ACROSS 99TH STREET, YOU WOULD SEE FUTURE CONSTRUCTION OF WHAT'S LIKELY TO BE MAYBE A ONE STORY TOWNHOME IN THIS B AREA HERE IN THIS SEPARATE TRACT.

IT'S NOT BEEN PRELIMINARY PLANNED OR FINAL PLANNED YET.

AND THEN 99TH PLACE LOOKING THIS WAY AND C WHICH WOULD BE THIS BUILDING HERE THAT AS YOU RECALL, IS JUST THREE STORIES RIGHT HERE AND THEN MOVES DOWN TO THE FOUR STORIES PROPOSED ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS SITE LINE, BASICALLY FROM THE WINDOWS OF THE HOUSE ON A ACROSS, IT'S ALIGNING WITH JUST ABOUT THE TOP OF THE ROOF ON BUILDING C, WHICH IS THAT THREE STORY PART OF THAT BUILDING.

SO THE BUILDING WILL NOT BE SUBSTANTIALLY TALLER FROM VIEW FROM THE ADJACENT SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF 99TH STREET.

THERE'S ONE OTHER DEVIATION REQUESTED AND AT CONCEPT PLAN STAGE, WE NOTED THAT THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL, BUT WE DIDN'T ACCOUNT FOR IT AT THAT TIME.

[00:55:01]

WE HAVE 100 FOOT SETBACK REQUIREMENT FROM FREEWAYS.

IN THIS CASE, YOU CAN SEE THAT 100 FOOT ZONE DENOTED IN GREEN AND THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO SET BACK JUST THE DRIVE AISLE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 42FT AND 60FT, AS YOU SEE IN RED WITH THOSE MEASUREMENTS.

SO FOR THIS WE WERE STAFF WAS VERY STRONG ON MAKING SURE THAT THE BUILDING WOULD NOT ACTUALLY BE WITHIN THE 100FT, THAT THE PARKING WOULD NOT BE WITHIN 100FT.

THE CONCEPT PLAN REALLY JUST SHOWED A DRIVE AISLE.

SO WE MADE SURE THE APPLICANT STUCK WITH JUST THE DRIVE AISLE IN ORDER TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS SHOWN AT THE CONCEPT STAGE AND ALSO WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS ORIGINALLY REZONED AND HOW THAT PUBLIC NOTICE AND THE PUBLIC WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT ORIGINAL PLAN.

SO IN ORDER TO MITIGATE THE LESSER SETBACK FOR JUST THE DRIVE AISLE HERE, THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ALONG THE K-10 HIGHWAY BUFFER AREA THERE IN THAT 40 SOME ODD TO 60 SOME ODD FEET THAT'S LEFT.

AND AS YOU SAW ON THAT PREVIOUS SLIDE, SOME OF THAT WILL BE PRESERVED VEGETATION OR REESTABLISHED VEGETATION AND SOME WILL BE NEW LANDSCAPING.

SO THE INTENT IS TO STILL BEEF UP THE SCREENING THERE TO COMPENSATE FOR THAT DRIVE AISLE LOCATION WITHIN THAT REQUIRED SETBACK SHOULD THE DEVIATION BE GRANTED.

AND HERE IS ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF THAT FREEWAY SETBACK.

THIS WAS WHAT WAS SHOWN AT THE CONCEPT PLAN STAGE.

SO WE NOTED IN HERE THAT THAT DRIVE AISLE WOULD LIKELY NEED A SETBACK.

AND STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN AND PLAT FOR CANYON CREEK APARTMENT HOMES FOR A MULTI FAMILY RESIDENTIAL USE WITH THE DEVIATIONS FOR BUILDING HEIGHT AND FREEWAY SETBACK AS NOTED IN THIS PRESENTATION AND THE STAFF REPORT.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

AARON, ARE YOU LEADING OFF OR SOMEONE FROM YOUR TEAM? THERE YOU GO. MY NAME IS DAN SILER.

THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT TO ADD.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLY THOROUGH AND I THINK SHOWS HOW HARD ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE WITH US TODAY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH PLANNING STAFF THAT WAS RECOGNIZED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MEETING. WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE PRESENTED TO YOU.

MRE CAPITAL IS A FIRM BASED IN KANSAS CITY.

WE'VE BEEN HERE OUR WHOLE LIVES.

ONE OF US MADE IT TO ALL THE WAY TO KU, WHICH IS A MORE APPROPRIATE SCHOOL, AND THE OTHER ONE MADE IT TO K STATE.

SO WE ENJOY THOSE JOKES AS WELL.

SOME OF US MORE THIS WEEK THAN LAST WEEK.

BUT NO, WE HAVE WE HAVE DAN FOSTER HERE TO GO OVER THE TECHNICAL DETAILS WITH YOU GUYS, BUT WE'RE OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

WE LIVE HERE. OUR KIDS LIVE HERE.

OUR KIDS GO TO SCHOOL HERE.

WE ARE GOING TO BUILD SOMETHING WE'RE PROUD OF.

AND AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES NOW.

AND THIS WILL BE OUR 35TH DEVELOPMENT.

AND WE'RE EXCITED FOR IT TO BE JUST DOWN THE STREET.

GREAT. AND THANK YOU.

I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO ADD TO STEPHANIE'S PRESENTATION, SO BEAR WITH ME HERE.

FIRST OF ALL, ON THE AMENITY PACKAGE SHE MISSED, INCLUDING THE PLAYGROUND.

WE DO HAVE A PLAYGROUND HERE AS WELL.

SO THE DOG PARK IS UP HERE ON THE RP-2, WHICH, AS SHE MENTIONED, WAS FORMERLY THE SITE OF FOUR TOWNHOME UNITS.

AND QUITE FRANKLY, THE CURRENT OWNER WAS WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS PIECE THAT GOT KIND OF SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE STREAM CORRIDOR AND THE 100TH STREET RIGHT OF WAY. AND WHEN WE CAME THROUGH WITH THE CONCEPT PLAN, WE HAD TO SHOW SOMETHING.

YOU ESSENTIALLY SAID, IF YOU'RE BUYING THE RP-4 TO THESE GUYS, YOU'RE BUYING THAT TOO, BECAUSE I CAN'T DO A STANDALONE FOUR UNIT BUILDING.

SO WE ENDED UP WITH THAT WITH FOR ONE OF OUR MANY PACKAGE, WHICH WE THINK PROVIDES A NICE LITTLE GREEN CORNER THERE.

AND THEN THE PLAYGROUND IS ALSO FROM 98TH PLACE HERE, WHICH WILL BE IS PUT IN PLACE TO PROVIDE A FUTURE CONNECTION TO RP-2 TO THE EAST.

THE TRAIL, JUST TO POINT OUT WHERE IT IS, IS ALONG THIS EAST SIDE OVER HERE.

WE'RE PLANNING TO HAVE SOME STATIONS THERE, SOME ACTIVITY STATIONS.

WE'RE BUILDING THE PORTION THAT'S ON OUR PROPERTY AND IT'S IN THAT LOCATION AS I MENTIONED IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION, SOMEBODY ASKED THAT QUESTION.

[01:00:04]

AND JUST THAT'S THE EASIEST PATH FOR US TO TRY TO GET OVER TO THE EXISTING SANITARY SEWER CORRIDOR.

THAT'S BEEN CLEAR CUTTED TO BE ABLE TO GET ON TO THAT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

AND THEN THE OTHER AMENITIES ARE ALONG THE BACK OF THESE BUILDINGS, WHICH ARE SOME HAMMOCK GARDENS.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT AN OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE THAT HAS AREAS FOR BAG GAMES AND PICNIC TABLES AND THAT TYPE OF THING. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THOSE OUT REAL QUICK ON HERE.

THE OTHER THING TO NOTE ON THIS IS THE IT DIDN'T REALLY SHOW UP MUCH IN THE GRAPHICS THAT WERE PRESENTED IN STEPHANIE'S, BUT THIS IS A VISUAL OF THE SITE PLAN OVERLAID ON TOP OF THE AERIAL PHOTOS.

SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE NUMBER OF EXISTING TREES THAT WE ARE PRESERVING ON THIS SITE.

AND WHAT I WANTED TO NOTE WAS WE'RE NOT ONLY PRESERVING THE TREES ALONG HERE, WE'RE BUILDING AN ADDITIONAL INSTALLING ADDITIONAL ROW OF MIXTURE OF EVERGREENS AND A FEW DECIDUOUS.

THEN WE HAVE THE ROAD.

AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT ROAD, BETWEEN THE ROAD AND THE AND THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER ROW OF EVERGREENS AND DECIDUOUS.

SO WE ESSENTIALLY HAVE THREE DIFFERENT ROWS OF BUFFERING GOING ON ALONG THAT PARTICULAR FRONTAGE.

AND THEN THAT'S PART OF THAT SETBACK DEVIATION REQUEST.

AND THIS IS ACTUALLY WE HAVE CONSIDERABLY MORE SETBACK THAN WHAT'S BEEN ALLOWED ON SOME OTHER PROJECTS IN RECENT YEARS AS FAR AS BOTH COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, THAT KIND OF THING.

AND SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SETBACK THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE ON PAST PROJECTS.

AND THEN AS FAR AS THE BUILDING HEIGHT DEVIATION, PART OF IT WAS A FURTHER MOST OF IT WAS A FURTHER REFINEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT TOPOGRAPHY WAS OUT THERE.

SOME OF THAT WAS ALSO THIS PARKING LOT WE ACTUALLY REDUCED.

IF YOU NOTICE, THERE WERE THREE AISLES HERE WITH PARKING.

WE'VE ACTUALLY SHRUNK THAT PARKING LOT DOWN BECAUSE WE FOUND THAT WE WERE A LITTLE BIT OVER PARKED IN THAT AREA, WHICH ESSENTIALLY MOVED THE BUILDINGS EAST FARTHER DOWN THE SLOPE AND MADE THAT SITUATION A LITTLE BIT MORE SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING ON THE BUILDINGS ALONG THE EAST SIDE. BUT AGAIN, YEAH, LIKE STEPHANIE SAID, ONCE WE REALLY GOT INTO IT AND LOOKED AT THE SLOPE AND YOU COULD SEE IT ON THAT K-10 SECTION THAT SHE PUT UP, IF YOU REALLY LOOK AT THAT, YOU CAN SEE THE SLOPE COMING ACROSS.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE BUILDINGS ARE STEPPING DOWN.

AND IF YOU NOTICE THE TOP OF THOSE FIRST TWO BUILDINGS, ONE AND 3, I THINK IT IS THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH AT THE SAME LEVEL.

WHETHER WE GO DOWN ANOTHER STORY OR NOT, THEY'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE AT THAT SAME LEVEL.

WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT INCREASING THE HEIGHT THERE AT ALL.

SO THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THE VIEW FROM THAT PARTICULAR STREET.

AND THEN THIS WAS JUST SOME BIRD'S EYE VIEWS THAT WE PRESENTED THAT WERE PART OF THE PRESENTATION.

THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH.

AND SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE ARE THE TWO BUILDINGS ALONG THE EAST, THE TWO BUILDINGS HERE IN THE CENTER, AND THEN THIS END BUILDING HERE.

AND IT WASN'T REAL CLEAR, I DON'T THINK, ON OUR DRAWINGS, BUT THAT IS WHERE OUR CLUBHOUSE FACILITY IS.

SO IT'LL BE FACING 100TH STREET.

SO WHEN YOU COME IN OFF OF 100TH STREET, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET RIGHT TO IT.

AND IT FITS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE AMENITY AREA ALONG THE PLAYGROUND IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE THE PATIO AREA AS WELL.

AND THEN SHE ALREADY COVERED THE BUILDING MATERIALS.

BUT THIS PROVIDES A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, MORE PERSPECTIVE, GRAPHIC LOOK OF WHAT THE BUILDING WILL LOOK LIKE.

AND THEN THE TYPICAL BUILDING FLOOR PLAN IS JUST A, YOU KNOW, PRETTY TYPICAL BREEZEWAY TYPE CONCEPT BUILDING.

AND THEN I ALREADY COVERED THE SITE AMENITIES WHERE THEY'RE AT.

SO THESE WERE SOME IMAGES THAT WE PROVIDED THAT WERE SHOWING THAT WE HAVE THIS KIND OF PATIO SPACE, THE HAMMOCK GARDEN.

I THINK THIS IS THE DOG PARK.

THIS IS THE PLAYGROUND, AND THIS IS JUST REPRESENTATIVE OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PUTTING ALONG THE TRAIL, NOT NECESSARILY ALL GROUPED TOGETHER LIKE THAT, MAYBE ONE PER STATION AND THEN A CONCEPT FOR THE MONUMENTATION WE WANT TO TRY TO DO IS TAKE SOME OF THE MATERIALS THAT HAVE BEEN USED OUT THERE AND THE STYLE AND TRY TO BLEND IT SO THAT IT BECOMES PART OF THE OVERALL CONCEPT OUT THERE AND NOT COME UP WITH JUST A WHOLE NEW PALETTE

[01:05:01]

AND WITH THAT, WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU, DAN. QUESTIONS.

COMMENTS. JULIE YEAH, JUST REALLY WANT TO COMPLIMENT THE GRAPHICS PACKAGE WITH THIS IN YOUR PRESENTATION.

I THINK THAT THOSE ELEVATIONS SHOWING THE HEIGHT DEVIATIONS PUTS TO REST ANY CONCERNS THAT WE HAD ABOUT THIS WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST WINTER.

SO REALLY NICE JOB PRESENTING THOSE SO THAT FOLKS LOOKING AT THIS PRESENTATION OUTSIDE OUR CONTEXT COULD UNDERSTAND.

MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHEN DO WE START? WELL, WE'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED THE FINAL PLAT, SO IT'S COMING UP THROUGH THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW WE'RE ON SCHEDULE TO SUBMIT THE FINAL PLAN BY OCTOBER 2ND.

PERFECT. AND IF WE CAN GET EVERYTHING ALIGNED, THESE GUYS WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION THIS YEAR, BUT WE STILL GOT A LOT OF WORK TO GET AHEAD OF US.

SO 12-18 MONTHS BUILD HOW LONG? SINCE WE'RE BUILDING 100TH STREET ALSO, WE'LL ACTUALLY NEED TO BUILD 100TH STREET FIRST TO GET THE WATER SYSTEMS IN TO ALLOW US TO GO UP WITH COMBUSTIBLES.

SO IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE ABOUT 20 MONTHS IN TOTAL.

THANK YOU. 4 OR 5 MONTHS OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION, SOUNDS GREAT.

I'LL BE SUPPORTIVE TONIGHT.

MELANIE? I AGREE WITH JULIE THAT THE VISUALS ARE VERY HELPFUL, SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION A FEW MONTHS AGO OR VAGUELY REMEMBER HOW THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDINGS IN CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THAT WAS A COST OF LENGTHY CONVERSATION HERE, I'LL PUT IT THAT WAY.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU TOOK THOSE CONSIDERATIONS AND COMMENTS AND WORKED AROUND A FEW IDEAS ON THERE.

SO IT JUST REALLY FEELS NICE TO BE ABLE TO COLLABORATE.

UM, MY ONLY QUESTION IS JUST THINKING ABOUT WHERE THE FUTURE IS HEADED.

ARE YOU GUYS THINKING OF IMPLEMENTING CHARGING STATIONS FOR VEHICLES? YEAH, I FORGOT WHAT YOUR ANSWER WAS THE LAST TIME THAT WAS ASKED LAST TIME.

AND WE AND WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT.

WE'VE GOT TO TALK TO EVERGY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WHAT'S POSSIBLE ON THE SITE.

THAT'S KIND OF A NEW CONCEPT FOR AT LEAST FOR US.

AND BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY EXPLORE THAT OPTION.

YEAH. THANK YOU. I'M GLAD THAT YOU GUYS ARE OPEN TO IT.

DAN THANK YOU.

MAYOR. I ONLY HAD ONE QUESTION COMING IN AND THAT WAS WHAT CAUSED THE BUILDINGS IN THE MIDDLE TO GO UP.

AND YOU EXPLAINED IT VERY WELL IN TERMS OF THE READJUSTMENT AND SO FORTH.

SO MY COMPLIMENTS TO TO ALL OF THE PRESENTATIONS TONIGHT.

I THINK THEY COMPLEMENTED EACH OTHER VERY WELL.

I'LL SUPPORT IT. I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

TOM, THANK YOU.

THIS IS A STRONG APPLICATION.

REALLY COME A LONG WAY.

I THINK IN THE FIRST FEW ROUNDS WE WERE MORE IN THE CONCEPT OF IT AND THEN THE REALITY OF THE TOPOGRAPHY KICKED IN AFTER YOU GOT OUT THERE AND STARTED DOING THE SURVEYS.

AND I THINK I LOOKED AT IT, IT'S ALMOST A 90 FOOT DROP ACROSS THE SITE AND THERE'S A LOT OF THESE SWITCHBACK SIDEWALKS.

SO THAT JUST TELLS US THAT THIS PROBABLY THINK YOU'RE IN THE OZARKS FOR THIS ONE.

SO GOOD JOB.

I THINK YOU'VE YOU DIDN'T OVERDO IT.

IT'S JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT.

I REALLY LIKE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU'VE INTEGRATED HERE.

ADDITIONAL PARKING, LANDSCAPING, THE CLUBHOUSE ON THE END CAP AND EVEN KIND OF TURNING WHAT I WOULD THINK IS MAYBE A CHALLENGE ON YOUR NORTHERN PEAK THERE INTO A REAL AMENITY THAT'S GOING TO BE A REAL BENEFIT.

SO GOOD JOB, REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE EFFORT.

TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF NOT ONLY ON THE ENGINEERING SIDE BUT ON THE ARCHITECTURAL SIDE, MATERIALS, CONSTRUCTION, DEVELOPMENT, ALL GOOD THOUGHTS. THANK YOU.

AND PLANNING STAFF AND PLANNING, STEERING THANKS, TOM. ANYONE ELSE? BILL YES, THANK YOU, DAN THANK YOU, STEPHANIE.

YOU KNOW, MELANIE'S RIGHT THE LAST TIME THIS CONCEPT PLAN CAME TO US, THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THE HEIGHT.

IN FACT, ONE OF US ASKED, ARE WE GOING TO LIMIT IT TO TWO BUILDINGS? AND OF COURSE, STEPHANIE SAID YES, BUT YEAH, THEY CAN ALWAYS COME BACK FOR ANOTHER DEVIATION.

OKAY, HERE WE ARE.

AND AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IT WAS THE MOST OF THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL HEIGHT WAS ELIMINATING RETAINING WALLS.

[01:10:01]

I DIDN'T HAVE STEPHANIE'S CHART.

BUT I WENT TO TALK TO SCOTT.

AND HE SHOWED ME A PHOTOGRAPH OF THOSE APARTMENTS EAST OF [INAUDIBLE].

AND INSTEAD OF HAVING A RETAINING WALL AND GRASS AND THEN THREE STORY'S, LET'S TAKE THAT DOWN, HAVE FOUR STORY'S AND PARKING.

AND IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

YEAH, ESPECIALLY THAT WE DIDN'T INCREASE DENSITY.

WHICH LEADS ME TO MY POINT.

WE'VE GOT EIGHT ACRES LEFT.

WE'RE ONLY DEVELOPING 16 OF THIS RP-4, SO I WOULD HOPE AND WOULD TRUST THE FUTURE CITY COUNCIL, THE FUTURE PLANNING COMMISSION, THE STAFF THAT WHEN THAT EIGHT ACRES COMES IN, THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE 13.1 DWELLINGS PER UNIT THAT WE APPROVED AT YOUR CONCEPT PLAN, WHICH EVERYBODY WAS ALL ABUZZ THAT BOY, THIS IS ALMOST A PRELIMINARY PLAN.

SO MUCH DETAIL BECAUSE OF THE 90 FOOT DROP.

SO LIKE I SAY, I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT 13.1 THAT WE APPROVED RATHER THAN THE 16 T HAT KEEPS TO MY MIND BEING REFERENCED AS RP-4 16 DWELLINGS PER DWELLINGS PER ACRE. SO ONCE AGAIN, I AGREE.

IT SURE MAKES SENSE TO GET THIS DEVIATION, BUT THE [INAUDIBLE] HAS YET TO COME.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, DAN.

COURTNEY? THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TONIGHT.

I LOVE THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE.

I THINK THAT THE DOG PARK WILL BE A DRAW FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE IN THIS AREA, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S AT THE ACTUAL SITE OF THE APARTMENTS INSTEAD OF HAVING TO LOAD UP YOUR DOGGIE AND TAKE IT TO THE PARK.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I LOVE THE CONCEPT OF THE STATIONS THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN FOR THOSE AMENITIES.

I THINK THAT'S KIND OF SOMETHING WE DON'T SEE VERY OFTEN YET HERE.

I SEE IT ALL THE TIME ON TV SHOWS, BUT NOT BUT NOT HERE.

AND SO I WAS KIND OF EXCITED TO SEE THAT.

I TOO APPRECIATE THE CREATIVITY AROUND GETTING WHAT YOU NEED FROM THE TOPOGRAPHY AND UTILIZING THE SPACE A LITTLE BETTER INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING A BIGGER PARKING LOT.

AND SO I WILL BE VOTING IN SUPPORT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. FINAL CALL.

I CHECKED UP YOUR WEBSITE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST 20 YEARS? NOT IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA.

YOUR PROJECTS LOOK GREAT WHEREVER YOU'VE TAKEN THEM.

SO WELCOME HOME.

GLAD TO SEE YOU DEVELOPING.

I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE OUT WEST, WE RESPECTED THE CONTOURS OF THE LAND AS WE BUILD OUR INFRASTRUCTURE WITH PRAIRIE STAR NOT GOING 95TH STREET STRAIGHT THROUGH, BUT MEANDERING THROUGH THE HILLS.

AND I THINK YOU'VE EMBRACED THAT CONCEPT OF DOING THE RIGHT THING TO RESPECT THE LAND ITSELF AND PUTTING A QUALITY PROJECT ON TOP.

SO THANK YOU AND THANKS TO STAFF FOR CONTINUING TO AND WORKING WITH STAFF AND THAT'S IMPORTANT.

I'M GOING TO REQUEST A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN/PLAT FOR THE MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL KNOWN AS CANYON CREEK APARTMENT HOMES.

SECOND MOTION BY JULIE.

SECOND BY I THINK I HEARD DAN DOWN THERE.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. BEFORE YOU ALL JUMP UP, WE GO AHEAD.

I'M REMISS IN.

NO, NO, YOU CONTINUE.

I'M SORRY. I'M I DIDN'T EVEN USE THAT GAVEL.

I WANT TO DO A SHOUT OUT RIGHT NOW.

THERE'S A YOUNG MAN WAY IN THE BACK OF THE ROAD THAT PROBABLY SAID, DAD, LET'S GO TO A COUNCIL MEETING.

THAT WON'T TAKE VERY LONG.

AND WE'RE NOW 45 MINUTES LATER.

AND HE SAT THROUGH A LOT OF COOL THINGS TONIGHT.

I'M GOING TO ASK OUR SCOUT AND I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY STUDENT WE HAVE THIS EVENING TO STAND AND I'LL LET YOU STAY THERE IF YOU IF YOU TALK REAL LOUD.

OKAY. I NEED I NEED YOUR NAME.

MY NAME IS IAN WAKEFIELD.

IAN WAKEFIELD.

THANK YOU. AND YOU'RE A SCOUT, OBVIOUSLY.

WHAT'S YOUR TROOP NUMBER? TROOP 284, 284.

EXCELLENT. AND WHERE DO YOU ALL MEET? TANNERS OR DAD GETS THAT ON ANTIOCHIAN CHURCH.

OKAY. OVER IN OVERLAND PARK.

[01:15:04]

YOU LIVE IN LENEXA? YES. OKAY.

AND WHAT'S YOUR BADGE YOU'RE WORKING ON THIS EVENING? I AM WORKING ON CITIZENSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY.

EXCELLENT. DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING TONIGHT? UH, HE'S WEIGHING HIS OPTION.

IF HE SAYS YES, HE KNOWS I'M GOING TO ASK, WHAT? IF HE SAYS NO HE GETS TO SIT DOWN.

SO PROBABLY MORE THAN HE REALIZED.

OKAY. OKAY. WELL, I'M SURE WITH DAD'S COACHING TONIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TONIGHT.

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU SOONER [APPLAUSE].

OKAY. NO NEW BUSINESS THIS EVENING, COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS.

[COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS ]

I'VE BEEN A REALLY BUSY FEW WEEKS FOR THE STAFF AND I THINK WE HAD A FANTASTIC SPINACH FESTIVAL ROLLING MAGIC GRAND OPENING WAS OFF THE CHARTS.

I WANT TO FOCUS A LITTLE BIT ON THE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S OPEN HOUSE THIS PAST SATURDAY.

A RESIDENT KIND OF WHATEVER WALK UP TO ME.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY HE STARTED TALKING TO ME, BUT HE JUST KIND OF STARTED BABBLING AND HE SAID THINGS LIKE, OH MY GOD, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THIS BEFORE.

IT'S AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.

THE THINGS THAT THEY DO ARE JUST INCREDIBLE.

THERE'S LITTLE KIDS EVERYWHERE WANTING TO BE FIRE PEOPLE AS THEY GROW UP.

YOU CAN TELL IT. BUT THEN HE SAID WHAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT WAS HE MET A LOT OF FIRE PERSONNEL FROM FRONTLINERS TO THE CHIEF TO EVERYONE IN BETWEEN.

HE SAID THE THINGS THAT JUMPED AT HIM WERE KNOWLEDGE AND ENTHUSIASM.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HE TOLD ME IS, IS I FEEL SAFER HAVING COME TODAY.

I REALLY DO. SO, CHIEF, THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? JOE? DITTO TO EVERYTHING DAN SAID SOME REALLY COOL EVENTS THIS WEEK AND COMPLIMENTS AND THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY PLANNING STAFF, WHETHER IT'S BUILDERS, DEVELOPERS OR MY NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR WHO'S BUILDING A DECK AND GOT A PERMIT.

NOTHING BUT RAVE REVIEWS, JUST COMMENTS THAT YOU GUYS ARE GREAT TO WORK WITH.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND WORK TO FIND.

YES. SO IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT WE RECOGNIZE YOU NEXT MONTH AND APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO.

THANKS JOE.

COURTNEY. I TOO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO SPINACH FEST AND JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT A COUPLE OF THE COMMENTS FROM THE VENDORS THAT WERE THERE WERE THAT THEY REALLY LIKED THE SETUP ON THIS SIDE OF THE POND THIS YEAR THAT IT WAS AND THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT.

AND THEY HAD A HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME AND WANTED TO SEE THAT AGAIN.

I HAD ALREADY SHARED THAT WITH LOGAN AT THAT DAY, BUT I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SHARE THAT WITH EVERYONE ELSE AND THE ROLLING MAGIC.

GRAND OPENING WAS SIMPLY AMAZING.

AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT TO THE ENTHUSIASM AROUND THAT AND I DROVE BY THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS STILL LIKE REALLY PACKED.

SO GLAD TO SEE THAT WE COULD DO THAT THIS WEEK.

AND I HOPE EVERYBODY AT LEAST DRIVES BY AND SEES EVERYBODY ENJOYING IT.

THANKS, COURTNEY. ANYONE ELSE? I GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT, WELL, A FEW HOURS AGO.

I WANT TO READ IT TONIGHT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE.

IT SHINES A LIGHT ON ALL OF OUR STAFF IN GENERAL, BUT I SENT IT FIRST TO NICK ARENA THINKING IT WAS ONE OF HIS FOLKS AND HE GRACIOUSLY SAID NOT MINE, REFERRED IT ON TO LOGAN. I THINK HE SHARED IT WITH LOGAN SINCE THEN.

BUT I WANT TO JUST READ THIS FROM ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS.

WHEN THE SPINACH FESTIVAL WAS GOING ON A WEEK AGO LAST SATURDAY, I OBSERVED A LENEXA EMPLOYEE HUSTLING IN THE VERY HOT SUN, COLLECTING THE TRASH QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.

YOU KNOW, MIKE, WE OFTEN OVERLOOK THOSE WHO TOIL IN OBSCURITY, GIVING RECOGNITION AND ACCOLADES PRIMARILY TO THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE HIGH PROFILES.

THIS EMAIL IS TO GIVE SOME RECOGNITION TO THIS FELLA.

I ASKED HIM WHAT HIS NAME.

I'M SORRY I GOT THIS SO SMALL.

ASKED HIM WHETHER HE WAS A CITY WORKER OR AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR.

HE SAID HE WAS A CITY, A CITY WORKER, AND HIS NAME WAS EDUARDO.

I HOPE THAT BEFORE YOU LEAVE AS MAYOR, YOU FIND THE TIME TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO EDUARDO'S BOSS TO PASS ALONG A THANK YOU AND YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB.

ALTHOUGH MOST PATRONS OF THE SPINACH FESTIVAL GO ABOUT THEIR HAVING THEIR DAY, HAVING FUN WITH THEIR FAMILY, I AM ONE GRATEFUL CITIZEN RESIDENT OF LENEXA WHO NOTICED MY TAX DOLLARS AT WORK AND WANTED TO PASS ALONG AN ATTABOY TO A FELLOW WHO LIKELY NEVER GETS A PAT ON THE BACK.

I DISPUTE THAT BECAUSE I KNOW WE DO THAT.

BUT FOR COLLECTING TRASH AND WHATEVER ELSE, WHATEVER ELSE MENIAL TASKS, JOBS HE MAY BE ASSIGNED.

ALL WORK IS HONORABLE AND ALL GOOD WORK IS WORTHY OF RECOGNITION.

SO DOUG SHIPE SENT THAT IN A LOCAL ACCOUNTANT HE'S BEEN A RESIDENT OF LENEXA FOR YEARS AND LOGAN, PLEASE PASS THAT ON TO EDUARDO.

AND LIKE I SAID, WE CAN GET THAT EMAIL ABOUT EVERY EMPLOYEE AT THE CITY OF LENEXA AND OFTEN DO SO ONCE AGAIN STAFF FOR WHAT YOU DO TO MAKE US LOOK GOOD UP

[01:20:02]

I WAS GOING TO SAY I WAS GOING TO DECIDE WHETHER I WANTED TO MENTION THE STATE PARK OR NOT, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO.
