UP NEXT IS PRESENTATION THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT BY REUBEN BROWN.

[PRESENTATIONS]

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL NATE WILLIAMS, FINANCE DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE CHESTER MOYER HERE FROM REUBEN BROWN.

HE'S AN AUDIT PARTNER FOR THE FIRM, ACTUALLY, OUR AUDITORS TO TALK ABOUT OUR FISCAL YEAR 24 AUDIT RESULTS.

I JUST WANT TO THANK HIM FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT PARTNER.

AS FAR AS AN AUDIT FIRM BEING GREAT TO WORK WITH.

DEFINITELY HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE. I WANT TO THANK MEGAN STERLING.

SHE PUT A LOT OF HOURS IN ON THE CITY SIDE, MANAGE THE AUDIT PROCESS.

I BELIEVE IT'S HER SECOND YEAR MANAGING THE PROCESS FROM THE CITY SIDE, AND ALL CREDIT IS DUE TO HER FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL AUDIT.

SO I WILL TURN IT OVER TO CHESTER. THANK YOU, HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

IT'S GREAT TO BE BEFORE YOU AGAIN TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE RESULTS OF OUR AUDIT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31ST, 2024. AND AGAIN, MY NAME IS CHESTER MOYER. I'M NOT A PARTNER WITH RUBEN BROWN.

AND ON THIS SLIDE WE HAVE OUR ENGAGEMENT TEAM.

AND WE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT IN DESIGNING OUR ENGAGEMENT TEAM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE AN EFFECTIVE AUDIT AND MEET THE QUALITY STANDARDS THAT ARE REQUIRED AND EXPECTED OF THE CITY. AND WE LOOK FOR EXPERIENCE IN EXPERIENCING GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING AS WELL AS EXPERIENCE ON THE CITY OF LENEXA PREVIOUSLY, AND WE'RE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WE HAD ONE TEAM MEMBER ROTATE ON EVERYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED WITH THE CITY PREVIOUSLY, AND SO WE'RE PLEASED TO HAVE THAT RETENTION AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS A MEASURE OF CLIENT SERVICE TO PROVIDE TO THE CITY A RETURNING ENGAGEMENT TEAM LIKE THAT.

SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE AUDIT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT.

IT IS A LONG AUDIT CYCLE. WE'RE ENGAGED WITH THE CITY AND MANAGEMENT OF THE CITY FOR 8 TO 9 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR FOR THIS PROCESS.

[00:10:08]

AND YOU CAN SEE IT STARTED THIS YEAR. AND WHEN I SAY THIS YEAR IT'S THIS THIS FOR THIS PERIOD IN OCTOBER OF 24.

AND THEN HERE WE ARE WRAPPING UP THE AUDIT. SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR THE EFFORT THAT MANAGEMENT HAS CONSISTENTLY PROVIDED TO US IN THAT PROCESS OVER THAT TIME AND GETTING US THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO PERFORM THE AUDIT.

SO BEHIND THIS DOCUMENT IS THE DETAIL OF A LETTER, AN AUDITOR COMMUNICATIONS LETTER THAT I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT JUST ON THIS SLIDE HERE.

AND SO WHAT YOU'VE ENGAGED US TO DO, THE FIRST PART IS AN AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE CITY.

AND SO OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO EXPRESS AN OPINION ON THE CONFORMITY OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES.

AND WE EXPECT TO ISSUE AN UNMODIFIED OR CLEAN OPINION.

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

WE DO HAVE AN EMPHASIS OF MATTER INCLUDED IN OUR AUDIT OPINION LETTER.

AND THAT EMPHASIS OF MATTER IS TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE CITY IMPLEMENTED A NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, GASB STANDARD 101 ON COMPENSATED ABSENCES. THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKING BY MANAGEMENT, AND ACTUARY WAS ENGAGED TO HELP CALCULATE THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION THAT'S PRESENTED IN THE FINANCIAL REPORT THIS YEAR.

AND SO WE'RE PLEASED WITH THAT RESULT AND THE EFFORT AND THAT IMPLEMENTATION. WE DID PERFORM THE AUDIT UNDER GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS, WHICH IS LAYERED ON TOP OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED AUDITING STANDARDS THAT A PRIVATE COMPANY WOULD HAVE.

AND FINALLY, I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THIS NEW REPORTING STANDARD THIS YEAR TAKES US TO GASB NUMBER 101 IS JUST TEN YEARS AGO THAT WE WERE IMPLEMENTING AS A CITY THE GASB STATEMENT, NUMBER 68, WHICH WAS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT IMPLEMENTATION.

SO THAT'S BEEN THREE STANDARDS ON AVERAGE A YEAR FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS, AND THAT IN MOST CASES HAVE BEEN ADDITIVE IN TERMS OF WHAT IS BEING REQUIRED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORTING.

SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE COMPLEXITY OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT, IT'S 200 PAGES LONG HAS INCREASED OVER THAT TIME AND CONTINUES TO BE A SIGNIFICANT EFFORT ON MANAGEMENT TO PULL THAT INFORMATION TOGETHER AND THEN FOR US TO AUDIT IT.

SO THE NEXT THING THAT YOU ARE, YOU ASKED US TO AUDIT WAS THE FEDERAL FUNDS, AND YOU ASKED US TO AUDIT THEM EACH YEAR.

IT'S JUST THAT UNLESS THE CITY SPENDS OVER $750,000 OF FEDERAL FUNDS, WE DON'T NEED TO PERFORM WHAT WE CALL A SINGLE AUDIT OR A FEDERAL FUNDS AUDIT.

BUT THIS YEAR, THE CITY REPORTED $6.3 MILLION OF FEDERAL EXPENDITURES.

THE LARGEST PORTION OF THAT WAS THE ARPA FUNDING OF $5.1 MILLION.

AND SO WE AUDITED THAT PROGRAM WITHIN THE FUNDS.

AND WE'RE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WE HAD NO COMPLIANCE OR CONTROL FINDINGS FROM THAT AUDIT.

IF WE HAD ANY OBSERVATIONS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OR COMPLIANCE THAT WE CONSIDER TO BE SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES OR MATERIAL WEAKNESSES, WE'D BE REQUIRED TO REPORT THEM TO YOU IN A MANAGEMENT LETTER.

AND WE'RE PLEASED TO REPORT WE HAVE NO MATTERS TO REPORT THERE.

AND THEN FINALLY, YOU ALSO ENGAGE US AS A PART OF THIS AUDIT TO ALSO AUDIT THE FIREFIGHTERS RELIEF ASSOCIATION.

AND WE COMPLETED THAT AUDIT AND HAVE NO MATTERS REPORTABLE FOR THAT EFFORT.

SO AGAIN I WANT TO THANK MANAGEMENT. PRIMARILY WE GO THROUGH NATE AND MEGAN.

WHO REALLY PROVIDE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COOPERATION AND EFFORT AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR REQUESTS OVER THIS 8 TO 9 MONTH PERIOD ARE MET, AND WE CAN PERFORM THIS AUDIT AT A VERY HIGH QUALITY.

SO I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANYONE HAS ABOUT OUR AUDIT QUESTIONS FOR MR. MOYER. OKAY. SEEING NONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE'LL SEE YOU BACK IN SIX MONTHS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OKAY. UP NEXT IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA. THERE ARE FIVE ITEMS ON TONIGHT'S CONSENT AGENDA.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

ANY ITEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA MAY BE REMOVED FOR SEPARATE DISCUSSION BY A MEMBER OF THE GOVERNING BODY, CITY MANAGER, A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. IN THE EVENT AN ITEM IS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA, IT WILL BE PLACED ON THE REGULAR AGENDA. ANYONE WISH TO REMOVE AN ITEM FOR DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE. I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS ONE THROUGH FIVE.

SECOND. MOTION BY BILL. SECOND BY JOHN MICHAEL.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? CONSENT AGENDA IS APPROVED.

BEFORE WE GET TO OUR BUSINESS THIS EVENING, I DO SEE THAT WE HAVE ONE SCOUT IN ATTENDANCE THIS EVENING.

IT IS TRADITION FOR YOU TO PLEASE STAND, TELL US YOUR NAME AND WHAT BADGE YOU'RE WORKING ON THIS EVENING.

I GO TO HOLY TRINITY. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING.

[00:15:02]

[6. Public hearing to consider fiscal year 2026 Community Development Block Grant infrastructure projects]

TIM. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. I HAVE JUST A COUPLE SLIDES HERE.

ANNUALLY. THE CITY APPLIES FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS.

WE HAVE WE ARE A QUALIFIED CITY, WHICH MEANS WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY WHERE WE GET A SET AMOUNT OF FUNDS EACH YEAR THAT'S AVERAGED ABOUT 180 TO 190,000 EACH YEAR. THOSE HAVE TO BE USED FOR THE MOST PART.

WE'VE ALWAYS USED THEM FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS OF SOME TYPE.

THE LAST FIVE YEARS HAS BEEN FOR STREET IMPROVEMENT OR I'M SORRY, FOR STREETLIGHT IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

WE HAVE AN EXISTING MATCH IN OUR CIP, SO THERE'S NO NEW CITY FUNDING THAT HAS TO BE APPLIED.

IT'S JUST A MATCH THAT WE ALREADY HAVE. THE PURPOSE TONIGHT IS TO JUST HOLD A PUBLIC MEETING, OPEN IT UP AND GATHER ANY INPUT IF THE COMMUNITY MAY HAVE ANY.

I'VE SHOWN YOU ON THIS SLIDE THAT THE YELLOW PORTIONS ARE OUR LOW TO MOD INCOME AREAS THAT QUALIFY FOR CDBG FUNDING.

IT HAS CHANGED. THERE'S A NEW SURVEY THAT'S OUT FROM HUD.

I SAY NEW, IT'S 2016 TO 2020. LAST YEAR WE WERE USING 2011 TO 2015, SO THEY'RE QUITE BEHIND.

AND AS I SHOW YOU THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, THE AREAS IN BLUE ARE AREAS THAT WE HAVE DONE WORK WITH STREET LIGHT IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT SOME OF THOSE AREAS IN BLUE ARE NOT IN THE YELLOW CDBG AREAS.

THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE NEW DATA. OUR CDBG AREAS ACTUALLY HAVE REDUCED IN SIZE, SO WE DON'T HAVE AS MANY AREAS AS WE USED TO.

BUT AGAIN, WE WOULD WOULD OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

IF THE STAFF OR COUNCIL DOESN'T HEAR ANY RECOMMENDATIONS OUR CURRENT RECOMMENDATION, THE AREA IN RED IS MILL CREEK ESTATES SUBDIVISION.

IT DOES QUALIFY AND WE WOULD PROPOSE THAT THAT BE AN AREA WE USE FOR STREET LIGHT IMPROVEMENTS FOR CDBG IN 2026.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR TIM BEFORE WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. I WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF ANYONE PRESENT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM SIGN IN. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

SUGGESTIONS FOR CDBG. SEEING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MOTION BY CHELSEA. SECOND BY CRAIG. ALL IN FAVOR? THOSE OPPOSED. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED. THANK YOU.

TIM. THANK YOU. ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS A CONSIDERATION OF REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAT KNOWN AS SUNSET CANYON,

[7. Consideration of a rezoning and preliminary plat known as Sunset Canyon for a single-family residential development on property located near the northwest corner of Prairie Star Parkway & Canyon Creek Boulevard]

ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, A IS AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE PROPERTY FROM AG TO PLAN NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT RP ONE AND ITEM SEVEN B IS APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAN AND PLAT FOR SUNSET CANYON ON PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE CORNER OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD.

SCOTT. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL SCOTT MCCULLOUGH WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

EXCUSE ME. THIS SET OF APPLICATIONS IS FOR REZONING AND PLAT WITH A TWIST THAT I'LL DESCRIBE HERE MOMENTARILY.

AS YOU NOTE, IT'S AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

AND JUST TO ACCLIMATE, ACCLIMATE YOU TO THE AREA, BECAUSE THIS IS IN A PART OF THE CITY THAT IS GROWING AND HAS DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL.

SO YOU HAVE PRAIRIE STAR TERMINATING AT THIS POINT, THEN HEADING EAST, CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD, COMING UP FROM K-10 INTERCHANGE UP TO PRAIRIE STAR.

IT IS PLANNED, PER OUR TRANSPORTATION MAP, TO GO NORTH THROUGH 91ST STREET, BECOMING MIZE ROAD UP TO 83RD STREET, AND THEN 91ST STREET IS ON THE NORTHERN PERIMETER OF THIS PROJECT.

AND OF COURSE YOU HAVE CEDAR NILES IN THE AREA, CLARE ROAD IN THE AREA AND FIRE STABLES THAT YOU MAY HAVE FAMILIARITY WITH.

THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE. ACTUALLY THE SUBJECT OF THE LAND USE ENTITLEMENTS IS OUTLINED IN RED HERE.

ALTHOUGH WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT SOME CITY PROPERTY IN A MOMENT.

THE IT IS CURRENTLY ZONED AG AGRICULTURE, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A HOLDING ZONE UNTIL DEVELOPMENT BECOMES UNTIL THE AREA BECOMES RIPE FOR DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE ZONING IS PRIMARILY AGRICULTURE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PREVIOUS CP1 HERE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATES THE AREA IN THE PROJECT FOR SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL, WHICH IS A THREE AND A HALF DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE DENSITY AND SINGLE FAMILY TYPE OF HOUSING PRODUCT HERE.

[00:20:03]

IN THIS VICINITY WHICH THIS WOULD REDUCE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL BUT WOULD.

MAINTAIN A VIABLE AMOUNT OF ACREAGE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, WHICH I BELIEVE IS IMPORTANT FOR THE AREA AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER HERE OF PRAIRIE STAR AND CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD. AS TYPICAL OF THE CODE, REQUIRES STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THIS COUNCIL TO REVIEW AT LEAST 13 SET OF CRITERIA FOR REZONING APPLICATIONS.

I'VE HIGHLIGHTED THREE HERE THAT I THINK KIND OF ROSE TO THE TOP OF OUR ANALYSIS.

AND THAT IS THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE SUITABILITY FOR THE USE OF THIS PROJECT AND THE CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ALL VERY POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR THIS CRITERIA.

I THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD FIT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEING SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

AND CONFORMS VERY ACCURATELY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO I'M GOINT TO TALK ABOUT THE TWIST, A FEW SLIDES AROUND THE TWIST IN THIS APPLICATION.

AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH A SWAP OF LAND. A LAND EXCHANGE THAT REALLY BEGAN MID LAST YEAR WITH THIS GOVERNING BODY GIVING STAFF DIRECTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE LEGAL NOTICE TO GET SOME ACTION ON A POTENTIAL SWAP HERE.

THAT SWAP HASN'T OCCURRED YET, SO THIS IS ALL PART OF THE PROCESS THAT WE TOLD YOU LAST YEAR WOULD BE PART OF THAT PROCESS.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A FEW SLIDES HERE TO FAMILIARIZE YOU WITH THE SWAP.

SO THE CITY OWNS 60 ACRES HERE THAT'S OUTLINED IN BLUE CREATIVELY KNOWN AS THE 60 ACRE PARK PROPERTY. AND THIS WESTERN AREA OF LENEXA. THE APPLICANT OWNS APPROXIMATELY 96 ACRES OUTLINED IN GREEN.

SO THAT IS PRIVATE, PRIVATELY HELD. TODAY IT'S ACTUALLY WAS PART OF THE FIRE IS PART OF THE FIRE ESTATE.

THAT IS A LARGER GROUP OF PROPERTIES IN THE AREA AND HAS BEEN PUT ON THE MARKET, I THINK SOMETIME EARLY LAST YEAR.

THE PURPLE ISH COLORS WOULD GO FROM THE CITY TO THE APPLICANT, AND THE GREEN AREAS WOULD GO FROM THE PRIVATE PROPERTY TO THE CITY FOR PARKLAND. ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT THAT IS WITH THE OVERLAY OF THE PLAT ON TOP OF THIS. AND SO THE NET OUTCOME IS THAT THE CITY GAINS 11.64 ACRES OF PARK PROPERTY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT PROPERTY.

I'M GOING TO INVITE LOGAN WAGLER, THE PARKS DIRECTOR, UP, TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT COMPONENT OF IT.

BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT THIS LAND EXCHANGE ANGE LOOKED LIKE HERE.

ONE LAST WAY TO LOOK AT IT. BECAUSE WE GOT TO BEAT THIS HORSE IN PLANNING DIVISION.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE VALUES. WHEN WE BROUGHT THIS TO YOU LAST YEAR, WE WANTED TO BE.

WE WERE VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT THIS BEING A WIN WIN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND THE CITY.

AND AT THE TIME, IN FACT, IT WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEVELOPER THAT BROUGHT THIS IDEA FORWARD.

AND YOU MAY RECALL THAT AT THE TIME IT INCLUDED SOME TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT HERE.

SO SOME RP TWO ZONING, WHICH IS NOT PART OF THIS PROJECT.

THIS IS STRICTLY A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, BUT AT THE TIME, THE IDEA WAS THAT THERE WERE PORTIONS OF THIS PROPERTY THAT MADE MORE SENSE TO GO TOWARD DEVELOPMENT, TO BE PART OF A OF A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WITH ITS ADJACENCIES AND PART OF THE PRIVATE PROPERTY THAT MADE GOOD SENSE TO GO TOWARD PARKLAND AND PARK AMENITIES.

AND SO THAT WAS ONE VALUE THAT WE HAD TO ENSURE.

AND THE DESIGN OF THAT TRANSFER KIND OF MOVED AROUND BEFORE WE BROUGHT IT TO YOU LAST YEAR.

THE OTHER VALUE THAT WE WANTED TO MAINTAIN WAS FULL FRONTAGE OF CITY PARKLAND ON THE FRONTAGE OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

SO YOU'LL NOTE HERE THE 60S, THIS KIND OF FAINT LINE YOU SEE RIGHT HERE.

WE MAINTAIN THE CITY WILL MAINTAIN PARKLAND FRONTAGE FOR ITS ENTIRETY ALL THE WAY AROUND CEDAR NILES AND UP TO 91ST, AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF 91ST STREET HERE. THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO SWAP OUT LAND THAT WAS FRONTAGE THERE.

AND AT THIS SCALE, IT DOESN'T SHOW THAT THERE'S ROOM TO DO THINGS WITH THAT BIT OF PROPERTY.

SORRY, HERE. BUT THAT'S A GOOD, I THINK, 30 TO 40FT THAT WE COULD LANDSCAPE AND TREE, OR DO DIFFERENT THINGS THERE TO

[00:25:06]

WITH THAT, I WILL INVITE LOGAN UP TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS HE WENT THROUGH LAST YEAR WITH THE PARK BOARD AND SOME OF HIS PERSPECTIVE ON GAINING THIS ADDITIONAL 11.5 ACRES OF PARKLAND. THANK YOU SCOTT.

GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL LOGAN WAGLER WITH PARKS AND RECREATION.

SCOTT INDICATED HE DROPPED IN A COUPLE SLIDES THAT I'LL COVER, BUT I'LL SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THAN THAT, REALLY, JUST GIVEN THE PERSPECTIVE AND TALK ABOUT THE LENS WE LOOK THROUGH WITH PARKS AND REC AND, AND OUR KIND OF OUR VIEWS ON THIS PROPOSED LAND SWAP.

FIRST SLIDE HERE IS JUST BASICALLY A CLIP OUT OF OUR PARKS RECREATION MASTER PLAN THAT WAS COMPLETED JUST A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR AGO.

IT WE LOOKED SPECIFICALLY AT THE WEST 60 PROPERTY.

AND WE LOOK AT THIS AS A FUTURE PARK, AND YOU LOOK AT IT THROUGH A MASTER PLAN.

YOU KIND OF LOOK AT IT TWO WAYS. FIRST, YOU LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AND DECIDE, ARE THERE ASPECTS OR KEY FEATURES WITHIN THE PROPERTY THAT REALLY LEND THEMSELVES WELL TO CERTAIN TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT OR PARK FEATURES, WHATEVER IT MAY BE? ADDITIONALLY, YOU LOOK AT IT THROUGH THE LENS OF HOW DOES THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY FIT WITHIN THE ENTIRE PARKS AND RECREATION AND TRAIL SYSTEM AS WELL.

SO LOOKING THROUGH BOTH THOSE LENSES AND TALKING THROUGH THAT AND KIND OF BASING THAT ON OUR COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND PRIORITIES BASICALLY WHAT IT SAYS IN THE MASTER PLAN IS THAT THIS WOULD THIS WOULD POTENTIALLY GET DEVELOPED, FOCUSED ON OUTDOOR AND NATURE BASED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, MOSTLY PASSIVE IN NATURE. LASTLY, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT IT'S WHAT'S CONSIDERED A TIER TWO INITIATIVE.

AND JUST TO EXPLAIN THAT ESSENTIALLY THAT THERE'S A LOT OF TIER ONE INITIATIVES IN FRONT OF IT, THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN FOR ANOTHER 6 TO 10 PLUS YEARS.

THE REASON I SAY THAT IS IT'S HIGHLY LIKELY WHEN YOU WAIT THAT LONG, A LOT OF THINGS CAN CHANGE.

AND IF WE WERE TO GO IN AND DEVELOP THIS PARK, WE WOULD PROBABLY DO SOME ADDITIONAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AROUND THAT TO KIND OF REFINE KIND OF HOW THAT WOULD BE DEVELOPED AND USED, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. NEXT SLIDE IS ALSO FROM OUR PARKS RECREATION MASTER PLAN.

IT SHOWS LINES WHERE THE PROPOSED FUTURE TRAIL ALIGNMENT WOULD HAPPEN THROUGH THESE PARCELS.

THE REASON I THINK THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY TRAILS ARE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY TO OUR COMMUNITY AROUND RECREATION.

THEY ALWAYS GET HIGH MARKS. SOMETHING WE PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WITH ALL DEVELOPMENTS, BUT SPECIFICALLY IN AREAS LIKE THIS. I THINK THE PROPOSED LAND SWAP REALLY PROVIDES, NOT ONLY PROVIDES, BUT PROTECTS THE TRAIL CORRIDORS NOT ONLY WITHIN THE SITE, BUT EVEN BEYOND EVEN BETTER THAN IT WAS WHEN WE JUST HAD THE 60 ACRES.

AND OF COURSE, THE ONE THING I REALLY LIKE IS IT'S ALLOWED FOR AND SCOTT AND HIS TEAM WORKED REALLY WELL TO ALLOW FOR BETTER CONNECTIONS INTO THE DEVELOPMENT, SO STRATEGICALLY INTO NEIGHBORHOODS AND CUL DE SACS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WHICH IS ALSO ANOTHER REALLY IMPORTANT THING FOR OUR CITIZENS.

SO AGAIN, JUST TAKING A AGAIN TAKING A SECOND TO TALK ABOUT THE LENS OF PARKS AND RECREATION AND SOME OF THE THINGS WE LOOK AT.

IT'S INTERESTING, WE'VE LOOKED AT IN MY TIME HERE, WE'VE LOOKED AT A WIDE RANGE OF POTENTIAL LAND SWAPS.

SOME HAVE WORKED OUT AND SOME WE DIDN'T REALLY EVEN ENTERTAIN, AND SOME WE'VE GOTTEN CLOSE AND JUST DIDN'T GET OVER THE HUMP. BUT I'VE COME TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN DONE THOUGHTFULLY THEY REALLY CAN PROVIDE NOT ONLY MUTUAL BENEFIT, WHICH I KNOW SCOTT AND HIS TEAM ARE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT, BUT IN MY LENS, WE REALLY FOCUS ON HOW THIS BETTER SERVES THE PUBLIC.

AND FOR US, WE ALWAYS WANT IT TO BE ADVANTAGEOUS, PROVIDE BETTER RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR FOR OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT STUCK OUT TO ME AND THROUGH OUR DISCUSSIONS.

NUMBER ONE WOULD BE BETTER ACCESS. I BELIEVE SCOTT SORT OF COVERED THIS, BUT IT'S IMPROVED VISIBILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY FOR THE PUBLIC.

NOT ONLY WERE WE ABLE TO PROTECT THE FRONTAGE ALONG PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY, BUT WE OPENED UP SOME BETTER, EVEN BETTER POSSIBILITIES, INCLUDING UP ON 91ST STREET.

SECONDLY, I BELIEVE THIS PROVIDES HIGHER RECREATIONAL VALUE, I REALLY DO.

THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE GAINING HAS BETTER TOPOGRAPHY, HAS BETTER VIEWS AND FEATURES.

OF COURSE, THE POND IS ALWAYS A PREMIUM WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PARK DEVELOPMENT. RUNNING A TRAIL BY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I BELIEVE WE DON'T JUST GAIN LAND HERE.

WE'RE 11 POINT WHATEVER ACRES. WE'RE NOT JUST GAINING JUST LAND, BUT IT'S MORE PROGRAMABLE LAND WITH MUCH MORE DEVELOPABLE SITE.

SO YOU KNOW, VERSUS A STEEP AND FRAGMENTED PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE WITH THE 60 THAT NOT ONLY IS IS GREAT FOR PARK DEVELOPMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES, BUT IT'S GOING TO SAVE COSTS WHEN WE GO TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY IN THE FUTURE. HOPEFULLY LOOKING THROUGH THE LENS OF OUR PARKS MASTER PLAN ONE MORE TIME, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK THIS BETTER ALIGNS WITH OUR PARKS AND REC MASTER PLAN, ALLOWING FOR LARGER, MORE CONTINUOUS PARK AND GREENWAY CORRIDOR WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY VERY SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES AND PASSIVE ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE MASTER PLAN AND THEN OUR TRAIL SYSTEM. I KNOW I'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT, BUT THE DEVELOPER SEEMS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE REQUIRED TRAIL EASEMENTS THE TRAIL CONNECTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT, BOTH THINGS THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR TRAIL SYSTEM GOING FORWARD.

LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE COUNCIL PROBABLY RECALLS THAT WE ASKED OUR PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD TO TAKE A LOOK AT ANY POTENTIAL SALE,

[00:30:06]

SO WE DID THAT. SO LAST JULY IN 2024, WE MET WITH PARKS AND REC BOARD DISCUSSED THIS.

THEY WERE EXTREMELY FAVORABLE OF IT AND ULTIMATELY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR AND SUPPORT OF RECOMMENDING THIS LAND SWAP.

SO JUST KIND OF WRAP UP WITH SAYING BOTH STAFF AND THE PARKS AND REC ADVISORY BOARD IS COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE AND IN FAVOR OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE LAND SWAP AS IT IS.

SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE, SCOTT. THANK YOU. AND JUST TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THE AREAS THAT LOGAN MENTIONED, THIS IS THAT WATER FEATURE. AND THIS NODE HERE REPRESENTS AN AREA THAT'S REALLY QUITE ISOLATED ON THE 60 TODAY.

VERY HARD TO GET TO THROUGH THE STREAM CORRIDORS AND SUCH.

SO JUST AS SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW, WHERE OUR MINDS WERE IN THE ANALYSIS.

LOGAN OF COURSE, WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AT THE END.

I'LL MOVE ON TO THE PLAT DESIGN AGAIN. OUR P ONE ZONING IS BEING REQUESTED ON APPROXIMATELY 81 ACRES FOR 175 LOTS IN EIGHT TRACKS. THIS IS A DENSITY OF 2.15 UNITS PER ACRE, SO MUCH LOWER THAN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVEN CALLS FOR. AND THAT'S JUST BECAUSE OF ALL THE SENSITIVE LANDS AND STREAM CORRIDOR THAT THE EVEN THE PRIVATE PROPERTY CONTAINS.

THE THROUGH OUR PROCESS HOUSING SIZE CATEGORIES ARE ASSIGNED.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY SOME CODE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU CAN'T OFFSET A HOUSING SIZE PAST ONE LEVEL TOWARD ITS ADJACENCY.

AND SO FOR THIS PROJECT, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A CLASSIFICATION OF D AND E, WITH D BEING THE LARGER PROPERTY, THE LOT SIZE AND HOUSING SIZE AND E BEING THE SMALLER TYPE LOT SIZE.

AND I KNOW THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO COVER THIS MORE FULLY, SO I'LL JUST KIND OF LEAVE IT AT THAT.

PLUS AN ANALYSIS OF HOW IT WORKS WITH THE OTHER SUBDIVISIONS IN THE AREA.

SO HERE'S OUR SUBJECT SITE WITH THOSE ES HERE AND DS AROUND THE OTHER PODS OF DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS THIS IS THE MOST RECENT PLAT OF ARBOR LAKE AND ACTUALLY IS ASSIGNED A C CLASSIFICATION.

AND THE PURPLE AREAS OUTLINED ARE D CLASSIFICATIONS.

THIS IS A DUPLEX DEVELOPMENT, MICE HILL. AND THEN THESE PURPLE DOTS ARE NONRESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TYPE DEVELOPMENT.

SO AGAIN WE HAVE D AND C AROUND IT AND D AND E IN THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION.

THERE WERE A FEW DEVIATION REQUESTS TO MAKE THIS PROJECT WORK WITHIN THE CONFINES OF WHAT THE LAND WAS PROVIDING IT.

THE FIRST WAS A SLIGHT DEVIATION TO THE PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY SETBACK ENCROACHMENT HERE.

THE OTHERS RELATED TO THE LOT SIZE AND LOT WIDTH TO ESTABLISH A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES, WHICH WAS IMPORTANT FOR THIS DEVELOPER TO ESTABLISH HERE WITH THIS PROJECT AGAIN. THEY'LL BE EXPLAINING MORE OF THAT.

SO BASICALLY WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PODS OF SMALLER SINGLE FAMILY HOMES.

THIS IS THE E CLASSIFICATION OF HOUSING TYPES AND THEN THE D CLASSIFICATIONS ON STANDARD LOT SIZES.

HERE'S JUST A TABLE THAT KIND OF REFLECTS THAT.

THIS WAS ALL IN THE STAFF REPORT. ANOTHER DEVIATIONS RELATED TO THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT.

SO FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS ONE AND EVEN UP AT STONERIDGE, IF YOU RECALL WHERE A LOT OF STREAM CORRIDOR CUTS THROUGH THE SITE AND REACHES THE STREET THERE'S REALLY THERE'S A REQUIREMENT THAT BUFFERS AND FENCES AND ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING GO ALONG THE PERIMETER OF ANY KIND OF SUBDIVISION.

WELL, FOR THE MOST PART, THESE ARE LEFT KIND OF NATURAL AND IN THEIR WILD STATE.

SO WE DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A NEED TO DO TO FORMALIZE THAT OPEN SPACE IF IT'S ALREADY OPEN AND LEFT IN ITS NATURAL STATE.

SO WE HAVE GRANTED THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS GRANTED EXCEPTIONS TO THAT CODE REQUIREMENT, AND THAT SHOWS UP WITH THIS PROJECT TOO. GIVEN HOW MUCH OF THAT OF THOSE CORRIDORS HERE ALONG 91ST AT A COUPLE SPOTS AND THEN ALONG CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD IN A FEW SPOTS WHERE THEY WOULD JUST REMAIN AS SORT OF THAT, THAT NATURAL SPACE.

JUST A BIT ON WHAT STREET IMPROVEMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE CONSTRUCTED TO ACCOMMODATE THIS PROJECT?

[00:35:05]

AND THEN IT'S GOING TO TAKE 91ST STREET FROM CEDAR NILES ROAD TO WHERE IT IS NOT IMPROVED WHERE IMPROVEMENTS STOPPED PREVIOUSLY, WHICH IS AT GREEN ROAD HERE IN ARBOR LAKE SUBDIVISION.

THE PURPLE ARROWS REFLECT ACCESS INTO THE DIFFERENT KIND OF NODES OR PODS OF DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO WHEN YOU PROJECT THE STREET INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED ONTO THE APPLICANTS PHASING PLAN, I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THIS. IF YOU THINK ABOUT REALLY THIS AS THE FIRST PHASE, ALTHOUGH IT'S KIND OF GOT SOME SUB PHASES HERE.

GREEN IS PHASE ONE. THIS WOULD BE PHASE TWO AND THIS WOULD BE PHASE THREE.

IT RELATES ALSO TO THE FIRE CODE WHERE THE FIRE CODE SAYS WITH ONE ACCESS YOU CAN DEVELOP UP TO 50 LOTS.

AND SO THEIR FIRST ACCESS POINT WOULD BE AT PRAIRIE STAR WHICH EXISTS IN ITS FINAL STATE TODAY.

SO THEY WOULD CONSTRUCT THE INTERNAL ROAD SYSTEM THROUGH THE GREEN AREA TO GET TO 50 LOT DEVELOPMENT WHILE THAT'S OCCURRING.

THIS WOULD BECOME THE FIRST STREET PHASE TO GET TO THEIR SECOND ACCESS POINT, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THEM TO COMPLETE THIS ENTIRE LARGEST KIND OF NODE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PROJECT.

AFTER THAT, THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO GO UP TO THE 91ST STREET FRONTAGE AND DEVELOP.

LET'S SEE HERE. IT WOULD BE THIS LIGHTER BLUE AS PHASE FOUR AND THEN THIS MAUVE COLOR OF.

WE JUST NEED TO USE PRIMARY COLORS FROM NOW ON.

OF PHASE FIVE. AND SO BY THIS POINT, 91ST STREET REALLY NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED.

AND THEN THIS WOULD BE THE VERY LAST PHASE. AND IF THE SERIES OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS ARE SPLIT UP.

AND WE DON'T KNOW THAT QUITE YET BECAUSE WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IT IN THE FUTURE, A FEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD FOR ECONOMIZE OF SCALE AND SEQUENCING AND DIFFERENT THINGS, THIS WOULD BE COULD BE A THIRD PHASE TO ACCOMMODATE THIS SMALLEST AREA OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT THAT IS THE PHASING SCHEDULE.

THE APPLICANT CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO HIS TIMING OF WANTING TO GET GOING ON THIS.

AND SO WITH THAT, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID HOLD THEIR PUBLIC HEARING AND STAFF, AND THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE REZONING AND THE PLAT SLASH PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THIS PROJECT. MAYOR, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

WERE THERE ATTENDEES AT THE PUBLIC HEARING? THERE WERE A FEW ATTENDEES AT THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THE TESTIMONY, AS I RECALL RELATED MOSTLY TO THE LAND EXCHANGE AND THE VALUE OF THAT.

AND I THINK A LITTLE BIT JUST ON SOME COMMENTS AROUND THE HOUSING TYPE.

AND I THINK AS THIS PROJECT WAS WAITING FOR ITS NIGHT TO NIGHT, SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS CAME.

AND SO WE'VE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SEQUENCING AND WHAT THE WHAT THE ENGINEERING LOOKS IN THAT REGARD. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN DISCUSSIONS WITH CITY ENGINEER TIM GREEN, WE BELIEVE THAT CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD, WHICH IS RIGHT NORTH OF THE ROUNDABOUT, A FOUR LANE DIVIDED, WILL TRANSITION VERY QUICKLY INTO A TWO LANE THAT WE DON'T NEED A FOUR LANE ARTERIAL HERE, THAT THAT IS LIKELY TO BE A TWO LANE UP THROUGH HERE.

PERHAPS THERE'S A CENTER LANE TURN LANES INTO EACH OF THESE STREETS.

THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS AROUND WHAT RIGHT NOW IS A CUL DE SAC OUT IN THE CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD, FUTURE RIGHT OF WAY THAT IS ENJOYED BY RESIDENTS IN THIS PHASE OF ARBOR LAKE.

THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN DESIGNED TO BE CONNECTED TO CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD, IN FACT, WOULD BE EXTREMELY CHALLENGING TO GO OFF OF OUR DESIGN.

THAT PLAT IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD, FRANKLY. AND SO IT WOULD BE VERY CHALLENGING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO.

AND IN FACT, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR THIS CONNECTION IS BECAUSE THERE'S RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL ZONING IN THAT PART OF ARBOR LAKE, AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS ENJOY GREAT BENEFITS TO HAVE TWO POINTS OF ACCESS INTO THAT AREA.

QUESTIONS FOR SCOTT BEFORE WE HAVE THE APPLICANT. MARK.

SCOTT. THE EXISTING CUL DE SAC. I GOT A CALL FROM DAN TAPKI TODAY THAT LIVES IN ARBOR LAKE AND KIND OF ASKING ABOUT THE EXISTING CUL DE SAC,

[00:40:09]

SO THIS IS THE CUL DE SAC, THE SUBJECT CUL DE SAC.

AND YOU CAN SEE, UNLIKE CUL DE SACS DESIGNED TO BE INTEGRATED INTO THE SUBDIVISION, THIS ONE GOES OUT INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY, GRANTED WITH THE ARBOR LAKE SUBDIVISION PLAT, AND IT'S REALLY JUST A TEMPORARY CUL DE SAC.

WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO TERMINATE STREETS AND CUL DE SACS FOR TRASH TRUCKS, AMAZON DELIVERY DRIVERS, RESIDENTS WHO GET LOST, YOU KNOW, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

SO WE DO PUT CUL DE SACS AT THE END OF THESE TEMPORARY TERMINUS TERMINI.

SO THAT'S WHY THAT EXISTS IN THAT LOCATION AT THAT LEVEL OKAY.

OKAY. OKAY. SCOTT, HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL ARE WE LOSING.

ARE WE LOSING? YEAH. LIKE FOR FROM THE WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED THERE.

I KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION AROUND THE ARBOR LAKE STUFF BEFORE AND WE MADE THAT SMALLER.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH WE WOULD BE LOSING WITH THIS.

I DON'T KNOW PRECISELY WHAT I THINK I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WE KNOW WE HAVE A VIABLE PROJECT THERE.

WE'VE SEEN SOME CONCEPT PLANS BY THE OWNERSHIP GROUP OF THAT PROPERTY, AND WE BELIEVE IT'S VIABLE FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.

OKAY. STILL MAINTAINING A NODE? YES. YEAH. OTHER QUESTIONS FOR SCOTT.

BILL. SCOTT, SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT. SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT THAT CUL DE SAC WHEN WE BUILD MYERS ROAD, WILL THAT POND BE AFFECTED? YES. LET ME. YES. THE POND THAT WE ARE RECEIVING.

OH, YOU MEAN ON AT ARBOR LAKE? YEAH. SO I'LL LET TIM GREEN COME UP AND ANSWER ANY KIND OF ENGINEERING QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE AND WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING HARD DESIGNED YET. BUT TIM CAN ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION, SIR.

THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS NO. THE ROAD WILL GO ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE DAM.

WE HAD SOME ORIGINAL PLANS APPROVED OR REVIEWED IN 2002, AND THAT WAS BEFORE THE POND WAS IN PLACE.

BEFORE 91ST STREET SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS. SO THOSE PLANS ARE SO OUTDATED, THEY JUST DON'T WORK ANYMORE.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU, IT ALL GOES TO THE WEST OF THE DAM.

SO THE DAM AND THE POND WILL NOT CHANGE. JUST REAL QUICK, WE HAD SOME QUESTIONS TOO TODAY ON ELEVATIONS OF MIZE OR CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD. I WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WITH THE WITH THE DAM ELEVATIONS AND THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

THE OLD PLANS ARE JUST OUTDATED FAR ENOUGH THAT ONCE WE GET A CONSULTANT ON BOARD WE CAN BETTER SET THOSE ELEVATIONS AND JUST SEE HOW IT WORKS WITH THE DAM.

IF IT'S LOWER, JUST ALL THOSE DETAILS WE JUST DON'T HAVE YET.

YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A SHAME THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A CUL DE SAC, YOU KNOW? AND YOU THINK YOU'RE LIVING ON A CUL DE SAC. AND BECAUSE I KNOW OF.

AND THERE'S PROBABLY A NEW REQUIREMENT, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE STREETS THAT ARE JUST DEAD END WITH POSTS, YOU KNOW, THAT SAY, DON'T GO ANY, IT DOESN'T SAY IT, BUT GOT THE SIGNAGE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS END AND IT SENDS THE MESSAGE, HEY, THIS ROAD IS GOING TO GO THROUGH SOMEDAY.

SO IT JUST KIND OF A SHAME THAT SURE QUACKS LIKE A CUL DE SAC.

WELL, AND I WILL TELL YOU, WE USED TO DO TEMPORARY CUL DE SACS WHERE WE WOULDN'T PUT CURB AND GUTTER AROUND THEM.

WE MADE THEM LOOK TEMPORARY. AND WE WILL STILL DO THAT IF IT'S A PHASE OF A DEVELOPMENT.

SO IF WE HAD ARBOR LAKES FIRST PHASE, FIRST PLAT AND WE KNEW THE SECOND PLAT WAS COMING.

WE WOULD DO TEMPORARY. IN THIS CASE, IT WAS THE FINAL PLAT OF ARBOR LAKES.

WE HAD NO IDEA WHEN CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD WOULD BE BUILT, AND THE TEMPORARY CUL DE SACS JUST WON'T LAST.

SO THAT WAS THE REASON WE PUT CURB AND GUTTER AND THOSE SORT OF THINGS ON IT, BECAUSE THERE JUST WASN'T A A TIME FRAME FOR THAT NEXT PHASE.

GOOD. THANK YOU. TIM. OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE WE HAVE THE APPLICANT.

OKAY. WHO'S HERE TO PRESENT? PLEASE START WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

[00:45:01]

WELL, THE STAFF DID A GREAT JOB TONIGHT. THEY STOLE A LOT OF MY THUNDER, WHICH IS GREAT.

BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE WORKING WITH THEM. WE WORK THROUGH SOME COMPLICATED STUFF WITH THE LAND SWAP AND THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION TIMING, ETC. BUT I WANTED TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF OUR VISION FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND WE'VE SEEN THIS IMAGE UP THERE. BUT I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THE DENSITY THAT WHEN, WHEN LAND SWAP.

RIGHT. WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE, OUR DENSITY IS 1.8 UNITS TO THE ACRE, WHICH IS REALLY LIGHT DENSITY.

AND AFTER THE LAND SWAP, WE'RE ABOUT 2.1. SO WE'RE WELL BELOW THAT THREE AND A HALF.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT WE LIKE TO DO IN OUR DEVELOPMENT SAGRADA IS WE LIKE TO CREATE MULTIPLE PRICE POINTS.

A LOT OF CITIES ARE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES.

SO PEOPLE CAN MOVE UP TO DIFFERENT HOMES OR DOWNSIZE TO DIFFERENT SIZES.

AND SO IN THIS DEVELOPMENT, WE HAVE THREE DISTINCT PRICE POINTS IN THAT I SHOULD HAVE USED PRIMARY COLORS AND I'M THE GUY TO BLAME I THINK.

SO LIGHT BLUE IS OUR ENCLAVE PRODUCT. IT'S A PRODUCT THAT WE'VE DONE IN A LOT OF PLACES AS A AS A MAINTENANCE PROVIDED PRODUCT, MOSTLY RANCH STYLE HOMES. WE'VE GOT OUR RIDGE PRODUCT, WHICH WOULD BE OUR STANDARD, THE STANDARD JOHNSON COUNTY LOT, AND THEN OUR VISTA PRODUCT WOULD BE A LARGER 90 FOOT LOT.

ON THIS MAP, I WILL POINT OUT, WE'RE KIND OF WE'RE PUTTING OUR AMENITY IN THAT VERY BRIGHT YELLOW SPOT.

IN THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT, IT'S HARD TO CENTRALLY LOCATE AMENITY.

THIS IS KIND OF A BEST EFFORT TO BOTH TIME IT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND GET IT IN EARLY, BUT ALSO TRYING TO KEEP IT IN A CENTRAL SPOT.

SO I PUT A COUPLE SLIDES TOGETHER AND THEY SHOW EXAMPLES WHERE WE HAVE DONE THIS SPECIFIC PRODUCT.

THESE ARE ALL FROM JOHNSON COUNTY, NEIGHBORING CITIES.

SO THIS IS OUR RIDGE PRODUCT A REAL A REAL STANDARD.

WE'RE LOOKING AT 600 TO 850 DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME NICE WOODED WALK OUT LOTS.

AND JUST A VERY TRADITIONAL PRODUCT. THIS IS OUR ENCLAVE PRODUCT.

I WAS MENTIONING EARLIER, IT'S A 54 FOOT WIDE LOT WITH A SEVEN FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK.

SO WE'VE DONE THIS IN OTHER CITIES WITH A FIVE FOOT SIDE YARD.

SO THESE ARE A LITTLE MORE SPACED OUT. BUT IT'S REALLY POPULAR WITH FOLKS THAT ARE DOWNSIZING.

THEY GO TWO CAR GARAGE COMMUNITY. AND IT'S DOING REALLY WELL BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WHEN THEY'RE DOWNSIZING, THEY'RE STILL MOVING UP IN PRICE POINT. AND THAT'S IT'S KIND OF CHALLENGING.

SO WE'RE 5 TO 700 TRADITIONALLY IN THOSE THESE HOMES YOU'LL SEE ARE IN OLATHE.

AND THEN OUR VISTA PRODUCT, THIS IS A LITTLE MORE A LARGER LOT.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME GREAT VIEWS FROM, FROM THESE ENDS OF THESE CUL DE SACS.

SO WE WANTED TO PROVIDE A NICER PRICE POINT, A HIGHER PRICE POINT.

AND THESE TWO HOMES ARE IN A DEVELOPMENT WE HAVE IN LEAWOOD.

AND IT'S BEEN REALLY WELL ACCEPTED. AND I THINK THOSE WOULD FIT REALLY GREAT IN THAT, IN THAT AREA.

SO LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE SCOTT AND TEAM STOLE MY THUNDER ON LAND SWAP.

OH, LET ME HIT THE AMENITY REAL QUICK. SORRY.

OUR PLAN, OUR VISION FOR THE AMENITY AT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN AMENITY THAT WE DID IN GARDNER FOR AN EXTREMELY LARGE DEVELOPMENT.

WE'LL CHANGE THE FINISHES, BUT IT'S A SIMILAR PRODUCT WITH A LARGE POOL, A PICKLEBALL COURT, PLAYGROUND. INSTEAD OF DOING, LIKE, AN ENCLOSED CLUBHOUSE WHERE OUR VISION ON THIS ONE IS KIND OF A THREE SEASONS CLUBHOUSE.

YOU'LL SEE HERE WE HAVE STONE FIREPLACE, A GRILLING STATION, LOTS OF COVERED SEATING SOME FANS, RESTROOMS, ETC.. IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN REALLY WELL RECEIVED.

I'M GOING TO JUMP THROUGH A COUPLE OF THESE SLIDES.

THAT GOT COVERED REALLY WELL BY STAFF, BUT I DID WANT TO COVER THIS ONE.

WE TALKED A LOT TONIGHT ABOUT KIND OF THE LAND SWAP AREAS, BUT WHAT WASN'T COVERED IS THERE'S STILL OPEN TRACKS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT, SO WE'VE STILL GOT STREAM CORRIDORS, ETC.. AND THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL 23.81 ACRES.

AND SO WHEN YOU START TO TALK ABOUT PRESERVATION DRAWING THOSE AREAS IN AS WELL, BECAUSE THEY WILL BE PRESERVED THROUGH THIS, THROUGH THIS PLAT. AND I THINK IT JUST CREATES A REALLY GREAT ENGAGEMENT WITH A TRANSITION FROM BOTH FROM THE HOMES TO THE PARK AND LETTING IT REALLY BEHAVE AS A PARK.

THIS THIS SLIDE GOT COVERED EARLIER AS WELL, BUT JUST TRYING TO CONTEMPLATE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HEARD AT PLANNING COMMISSION WAS ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE FACT THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOWS THESE TRAILS GOING ALMOST EXACTLY THROUGH THE AREAS THAT WE'RE CONTEMPLATING LAND SWAPPING WAS REALLY MEANINGFUL TO ME. AND THE OTHER THING I READ IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS, YOU KNOW, LENEXA ON THIS IS TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY NEIGHBORHOOD FACILITIES WITHIN A HALF MILE AREA OF THE HOME.

[00:50:05]

THE POND AREA THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PARKS, THE LAND SWAP WOULD BE ABOUT WHERE THAT RED STAR IS.

AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT HAPPENS, WOULD EXPAND THAT BLUE AREA AROUND THAT AREA THAT IS CURRENTLY UNSERVED.

AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS MEANINGFUL AS WELL. WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

WE THINK IT BRINGS A LOT OF DIVERSITY OF HOUSING STOCK, BUT ALSO SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL LOTS.

AND PEOPLE WOULD BE REALLY EXCITED TO TO MOVE TO LENEXA AND MOVE TO SUNSET CANYON.

AND WE'D BE GLAD TO STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, JOHN.

HEY THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION THAT WAS PAID TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN, BOTH OF WHICH WERE REFRESHED IN 2024. AS FAR AS TIMELINE GOES, I KNOW WE'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR THE REQUIRED INFRASTRUCTURE SURROUNDING THE DEVELOPMENT.

UNDERSTANDING THAT A LOT CAN CHANGE. THERE'S STILL AT LEAST A COUPLE STEPS AHEAD OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ROUGH IDEA OF TIMELINE FOR THOSE PHASES AND ESPECIALLY FOR THAT INFRASTRUCTURE? SO THE INITIAL PHASE IS, AS SCOTT MENTIONED, I MAY ROLL BACK.

I DON'T KNOW IF I PUT THE PHASING, I DID NOT I'M SORRY, I APOLOGIZE.

SO THE INITIAL PHASE THAT THAT SCOTT MENTIONED, OUR INTENT IS TO START THAT AS SOON AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

BUT IN REALITY THAT'S LIKELY LATE Q3, EARLY Q4.

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE IN THE DESIGN STAGE.

SO THAT WOULD PUT US, YOU KNOW, PHASE ONE AND THEN TO GET TO PHASE TWO TO BUILD THAT, THAT THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO TRIGGER THAT CANYON CREEK PARKWAY. WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT LIKE STARTING THAT UP IN Q2 OF 26.

SO WRAPPING THAT UP IN EARLY, PROBABLY EARLY 27, TO BE REALLY HONEST WITH YOU, WHEN THAT WOULD OPEN IF IT RAINS THE WAY IT'S BEEN RAINING THE LAST MONTH, IT'S GOING TO BE THAT SCHEDULE.

AND THEN WE'RE, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR ABSORPTION. SO WHEN WE MAKE THE JUMP UP TO 91ST STREET, THAT'S GOING TO BE A IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG COMMITMENT FOR EVERYBODY. AND BUT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT IN 27.

AND THEN SO STICKING WITH THAT LIKE AND THEN THE NEXT CONNECTION DOWN TO THIS I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN.

YEAH. THIS CONNECTION WE WOULD REALLY BE TRYING TO GET THAT BY LIKE 2030.

SO LIKE WE'RE PUSHING THAT WAY OUT. THERE'S A LOT OF LOTS TO ABSORB UP IN HERE.

SO I HEARD EARLIER THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF EFFORT TO CENTRALIZE THE AMENITY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S A LOT OF CHALLENGES, RIGHT, IN CONNECTING THESE DISPARATE KIND OF PODS.

WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT OVER HALF OF THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE AMENITY CENTER.

ASSUMING THAT IT'S BUILT WITH PHASE ONE OR PHASE TWO.

I GUESS MAYBE BACKING UP, WHAT IS THE INTENDED TIMELINE FOR THAT AMENITY CENTER? OUR INTENDED TIMELINE ON THAT IS WITH PHASE TWO.

IF YOU OUR EXPERIENCE IS IF YOU START THAT WITH THE SECOND PHASE, THE HOMES ARE FINISHING UP BECAUSE, REMEMBER, WE'RE BUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE. THEN YOU HAVE TO BUILD THE HOME AFTER THAT. RIGHT? SO WITH OUR INFRASTRUCTURE PHASE TWO, WE WOULD BE STARTING THAT AMENITY. AND THAT GETS THE TIMING ABOUT RIGHT WHERE YEAH, THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLE THAT MOVE IN BEFORE THE POOL IS OPEN.

BUT THEY WILL THEY WILL SEE SHOVELS IN THE GROUND AND ACTION HEADED THAT WAY.

AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. THE CHALLENGE THAT THIS SITE PARTICULARLY PROVIDES IS TRYING TO CENTRALLY LOCATE IT.

IT JUST DOESN'T. THERE'S NOT A GOOD SPOT, SO TRYING TO GET IT INTO THE SECOND PHASE WORKS WELL THERE.

IT SERVES A DECENT TRANSITION TO THE TO THE KIND OF COMMERCIAL AREA AS WELL.

AND SO WE PICKED THAT SPOT AND WORKED HARD TO GET IT RIGHT IN THERE.

I DO ALSO THINK IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THAT THAT AMENITY CENTER BLEEDS ONTO THAT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY.

WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THAT, THE COMMERCIAL LANDOWNER, TO BUY THAT LITTLE TRIANGULAR SPACE, WHICH WAS REALLY HARD TO DEAL WITH FOR IT WAS KIND OF LIKE ONE OF US NEEDS TO GET THAT MORE SPACE THERE, BECAUSE IT JUST KIND OF COMES TO A POINT. SO WE WORKED WITH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE NEIGHBORING LANDOWNER TO OBTAIN THAT THAT LITTLE TRIANGLE, AND IN PART OF THAT AGREEMENT IS TO PULL SANITARY SEWERS TO SERVICE THAT SITE, THAT COMMERCIAL SITE IS NOT CURRENTLY SERVED BY SEWERS.

AND SO AS PART OF OUR AGREEMENT IS TO SERVE THAT SEWER.

SO YES, IT DID SHRINK IN SIZE A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE ACTIVATED WITH SEWERS.

[00:55:04]

I DO THINK THAT THAT CONNECTOR THAT NORTH SOUTH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONCERNS ON FOLKS WHO ARE CUTTING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISION, ARBOR LAKE AND THAT WOULD BE A HUGE MITIGATING FACTOR.

SO SOMETHING THAT I'M PRETTY FOCUSED ON. BUT ADDITIONALLY, AND THIS IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN WE HAVE HAD SITUATIONS WHERE AMENITY CENTERS AREN'T BUILT ON THE TIMELINE THAT WE'RE EXPECTING.

SURE. WHAT TEETH DOES THE CITY HAVE TO ENFORCE? ANY PARTICULAR TIMELINE? OR PHASING? NOT NECESSARILY LIKE A SPECIFIC YEAR, BUT LIKE BEFORE THE 38TH HOUSE GETS BUILT THIS HAS TO BE DONE. IT'S A BIT OF A COMPLICATED QUESTION AND RESPONSE BECAUSE THE CODE DOESN'T REQUIRE THE AMENITIES BE PRESENT. YEAH. WHERE WHERE THEY ARE.

THERE HAVE BEEN SITUATIONS WHERE THE PLAT NOTES HAVE SET THAT REPRESENTATION IN MOTION THROUGH THE PLAT NOTE, AND THAT THAT BECOMES OUR LEVERAGE AND LEGAL INSTRUMENT TO GET THE AMENITIES IN BY A CERTAIN PERCENT OF BUILDINGS DONE.

SO WE HAVEN'T NECESSARILY WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION.

BUT WE HAVE IN THE PAST. WOULD THAT THIS PRELIMINARY PLAT.

RIGHT. WOULD THAT BE DOABLE FOR FINAL PLAT? IT WOULD, IT'S IF WE DO IT WITH THE FINAL PLAT WHICH IS A POSSIBILITY.

IT, THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE A, A PROCESS HURDLE TO OVERCOME TO COME BACK AND GET THAT PLAT NOTE REMOVED.

AND SO THAT'S SORT OF THE LEGAL INSTRUMENT WE COULD USE AND WE HAVE USED IN THE PAST TO TRY TO GET THAT THING KIND OF WRAPPED INTO THE PROJECT.

OKAY. THAT'S SOMETHING I'M INTERESTED IN EXPLORING. AND AGAIN, THAT'S NOTHING ON YOU ALL OR YOUR DEVELOPMENTS BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN ESTABLISHED TRACK RECORD ACROSS THE METRO JUST DEALING WITH OUR OWN CHALLENGES.

I THINK FOR NOW, THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH. HI. GOOD EVENING. ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT A QUESTION, BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR REALLY LOOKING AT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND OUR PARKS MASTER PLAN AND TAKING THOSE INTO CONSIDERATION.

THAT'S VERY THOUGHTFUL. AND I THINK THE PROPOSAL THAT YOU'VE COME UP WITH CONSIDERING YOU KNOW, THE TRICKY TOPOGRAPHY AND, AND WITH THE STREAM CORRIDORS AND WILLING TO DO A LAND SWAP WITH THE CITY.

I THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND IT'S NICE TO SEE SOME SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS BEING PROPOSED, PARTICULARLY WITH A DIVERSE RANGE OF HOUSE TYPES.

SO I JUST I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU.

OKAY. COURT. I AGREE WITH CHELSEA. I LIKE THE RANGE OF HOUSING AVAILABLE.

JUST SO TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF JOHN'S JOHN MICHAEL'S QUESTION.

WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND WHERE THE LAST PART WOULD COME IN, WOULD YOU SAID WOULD BE LIKE THAT CORNER UP IN THE NORTH EAST, THAT CORNER. RIGHT. SO THE PHASING OVER ON THE WEST SIDE ON THE NORTH, THAT ONE THERE WOULD COME IN BEFORE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE OVER HERE WOULD BE DONE. CORRECT. SO IN ORDER FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO GET TO THE AMENITIES, THEY WOULD GO ALL THE WAY BACK OUT AND AROUND TO GET WHAT THEY NEED THERE BECAUSE THAT ROAD WOULDN'T BE COMPLETED YET. CORRECT.

I WILL, I WILL, I WILL SAY THAT TIMING OF CANYON CREEK PARKWAY HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MAJOR HURDLES OF THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. WE'VE WORKED AT GREAT LENGTH WITH THE CITY, AND I WILL LET THEM SPEAK TO SOME OF THE, THE PIECES OF WHAT BROUGHT THAT TOGETHER AS WE WHEN THEY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE ROAD AND IT'S, AND IT'S, AND IT'S, BUT IT'S ALSO REALLY KEY TO CIRCULATION IN THIS AREA AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE COMING FROM THE NORTH ETC.. AND SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD OUR WAY IT WOULD GET BUILT TOMORROW.

RIGHT. LIKE BUT THERE ARE CHALLENGES AND IT'S NOT A PERFECT WORLD.

AND WE HAVE TO BALANCE THE FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE, BOTH CITY FUNDING AND DEVELOPMENT FUNDING.

AND WE IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE'VE WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE IT THE BEST IT POSSIBLY CAN BE GIVEN ALL THE FACTORS AT PLAY, WHICH THERE'S A BUNCH. OKAY. THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.

THANK YOU. OKAY. DON'T GO FAR. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE GROUPS OF THE NEIGHBORING NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS EVENING.

[01:00:06]

OKAY. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GIVE, AH, THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, JENNIFER.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, AND MEMBERS OF THIS COMMISSION.

MY NAME IS TRACEY THOMAS. I LIVE IN CANYON CREEK POINT, THE NEIGHBORHOOD DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THIS PROPOSED AREA.

MY ADDRESS IS 26197 WEST 96 TERRACE. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.

AS MR. MCCULLOUGH STATED EARLIER, THIS IS AN IDEAL LAND SWAP BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER.

AND I WOULD ALSO SUBMIT THAT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE CREATE A THIRD CHAIR AT THIS TABLE.

PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE NEIGHBORS HAVE TO SAY ON WHAT WE CAN DO, WHAT WE CAN SUGGEST TO MAKE THIS BETTER. THIS IS IN VERY THIS PARTICULAR PART AS YOU RIGHT HERE, THE 60 ACRES THAT HAS BEEN DEFINED RIGHT HERE.

THIS PARTICULAR SIGN WOULD BE ABOUT RIGHT HERE.

FUTURE LENEXA PARK. THAT SIGN HAS BEEN THERE WAY LONGER.

YOU KNOW, WE STARTED BUILDING CANYON CREEK POINT IN 2017.

THE BUILD OUT WAS APPROXIMATELY SIX YEARS LATER.

99 HOMES THERE. AND THAT SIGN HAS BEEN THERE AND PROMISED TO US FOREVER SINCE.

FUTURE LENEXA PARK. AND HERE'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THIS PARK IS SO NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS.

WHEN WE ALL MOVED INTO CANYON CREEK POINT, WE ALL MADE THE DECISION TO BUILD HOMES IN THAT PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT.

WHEN YOU LOOK NORTH OF K-10, SOUTH OF SHAWNEE MISSION PARKWAY, WEST OF 435 AND JUST EAST OF KILL CREEK ROAD MY WIFE AND I, WE KEPT COMING BACK TO CANYON CREEK POINT.

AND ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS THIS IS FROM THE WEBSITE, THE CANYON CREEK POINT HAD WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT WAS SECURING PATRONS.

THERE WAS A STATEMENT THERE THAT CLAY BLAIR IN PRIME DEVELOPMENT HAD, AND IT SAID CITY OWNED PARKLAND AND NATURAL CONSERVATION AREA SURROUND THE COMMUNITY, ALLOWING SWEEPING VIEWS OF NOTHING BUT NATURE, ASSURING RESIDENTS THAT THOSE VIEWS WILL REMAIN FOREVER UNSPOILED.

SO YES, THE BEAR HAS BEEN POKED AGAIN. FROM IT'S ALREADY BEEN REFERENCED FROM LAST SUMMER TO. THIS IS AN IMAGE THAT WAS OUT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOCUMENT LAST SUMMER.

YOU KNOW, THE MATH IS GOING TO BE PRETTY CLOSE HERE.

BOTTOM LINE, WE'VE GOT 27% OF THE ORIGINAL GROUND THAT WAS INITIALLY PROMISED IN THE 60 ACRES THAT ARE NOW GOING TO GO INTO THIS PARTICULAR PLAN DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S BEEN REFERENCES TO THE PARK THAT'S GOING TO SHOW UP HERE WITH VERY, VERY FEW DETAILS. ONE OF THE FEW THINGS YOU SEE THIS RED DOTTED LINE THAT WOULD FOLLOW THE OUTER PERIMETER OF THIS PARTICULAR PARK AREA, THAT IS A PROPOSED TRAIL.

THIS WAS IN THE SCHLEGEL ARCHITECT DOCUMENTS IN THE THE PLANNING COMMISSION NOTES.

REALLY? NO OTHER PARTICULAR DOCUMENTS. THE THING THAT'S CONCERNING HERE IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR TRAIL, THERE'S A REFERENCE THERE IN VERY SMALL COPY.

IT'S SEVERAL POINTS ALONG THIS TRAIL THAT SAYS FUTURE TRAIL BY CITY.

DOES THAT MEAN THE CITY? AND THIS IS A TRAIL THAT RUNS JUST A VERY FEW FEET ALONG THE OUTSIDE PERIMETER OF THIS DEVELOPMENT? IS THIS A PARK TRAIL? WHO DOES THIS? WHO IS THIS DESIGNED TO BENEFIT? CLEARLY THE DEVELOPMENT. I FAIL TO SEE HOW THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO CALL A PARK TRAIL.

LENEXA IS BLESSED WITH A LOT OF VERY, VERY NICE PARKS.

THIS IS RIGHT ON THE WEBSITE. YOU LOOK AT ALL THE PARKS THAT ARE 15 PLUS ACRES.

I PUT A BLUE A GREEN BUTTON. PARDON ME. BESIDE ALL THE PARKS THAT ARE IN EXCESS OF 15 ACRES IN OUR DEVELOPED OUR PARTICULAR PARK HERE THAT IS UNDEVELOPED. YOU HEARD IT REFERENCED IT'S REFERRED TO AS THE WEST 60 PARKLAND PARK.

[01:05:01]

THOSE DEVELOPED PARKS, THEY HAVE A PRETTY LONG LIST OF AMENITIES I HAVE NOT SEEN.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN REFERENCE AND TALK OF TRAILS, BUT DETAILS HAVE BEEN SLIM TO NONE IS PRECISELY AND SPECIFICALLY AS TO WHAT? THAT WHAT THAT'S GOING TO MEAN GREATER. AS WE ALL KNOW, THEY'RE A QUALITY DEVELOPER.

I'M FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THEIR PROPERTIES THEY HAVE IN SOUTHERN JOHNSON COUNTY.

YOU KNOW, UNDER THE HEADING OF THIS IS ON THEIR WEBSITE UNDER THE HEADING OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. TONIGHT, OUR COMMUNITIES SUNSET CANYON COMING SOON.

SO I GUESS MY QUESTION FOR THIS BOARD IS, IS THIS ALREADY A DONE DEAL? WHY ARE WE HERE IF THEY'VE ALREADY POURED CONCRETE AROUND THIS? THIS IS HOW THEY ADVERTISE THIS PARTICULAR WEBSITE.

SO HOPEFULLY THERE ARE STILL OPPORTUNITIES IN AND I DO HOPE THAT YOU, YOU TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY WHAT WE HAVE BECAUSE CLEARLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT, IF YOU EVER HAD A DEVELOPMENT THAT IS WORTHY OF BEING REMANDED BACK TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR FURTHER OBSERVATION AND DISCUSSION, MOTION. THIS IS IT.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO. THERE IS REALLY NOTHING HERE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE PARK.

AND WHAT IS SO CONCERNING ABOUT THAT PARK THAT THAT RED SIGN THAT YOU SEE RIGHT THERE? I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT SIGN HAS BEEN THERE.

15 YEARS. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING HAPPEN. IF NOTHING HAPPENS, WE WILL BE BACK HERE IN FRONT OF YOU IN TWO YEARS FROM NOW BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS COME ALONG AND THEY HAVE A PROPOSAL TO BUY ALL THE REMAINING ACRES OF THIS PARK.

THIS PARK NEEDS TO HAPPEN. SO TO HAVE A PARTICULAR DESIGN COME CONCURRENTLY.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE NO PROBLEM PERSONALLY WITH THE DESIGN OF THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S QUALITY DESIGN. IT WOULD SERVE THE COMMUNITY VERY WELL.

BUT WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS PARK. IT NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED BECAUSE IF THAT DEVELOPMENT, IF THAT DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T HAPPEN THE GROUND WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER THE NEXT TIME.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU TONIGHT.

LET'S HAVE EVERYBODY IN THE WEEKEND.

YOU MIGHT SILENCE THAT. SORRY. GOOD EVENING.

I'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF YOU BEFORE, SIMILAR TO TRACY.

PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AGAIN, PLEASE. STEVE BENNETT.

MY ADDRESS IS 2591 WEST 96 TERRACE. I'M ALSO IN THE CANYON CREEK POINT.

I ALSO AM PRESIDENT OF OUR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

SO I'M HERE TO SPEAK BOTH AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND TO REPRESENT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN IN FRONT OF YOU BEFORE WITH SIMILAR DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TONIGHT.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO BE PROFESSIONAL BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE AT LEAST ALLOWING US TO TALK.

BUT I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO HEAR US, WHETHER YOU LIKE WHAT WE SAY OR NOT.

BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, WE'RE REALLY DISCOURAGED.

AND WE'RE REALLY IRRITATED. PLANNING COMMISSION.

COUNCIL. MAYOR. ALL OF YOU CONSTANTLY BENDING THE RULES TO FIT A DEVELOPMENT.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO SAY NO. WE'VE GIVEN VARIANCES WHEN THEY NEED TO BE.

VARIANCES ARE GIVEN WHEN THERE'S A HARDSHIP. THE HARDSHIP ISN'T.

MAYBE YOU HAVE TO CUT OUT A FEW HOMES. MAYBE YOU HAVE TO MOVE YOUR SETBACK A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

THAT'S NOT A HARDSHIP. A HARDSHIP IS WHEN SOME PARTICULAR PLAN DOESN'T ALLOW YOU THE ABILITY, THE ABILITY TO BUILD A PROJECT ON THE PLAN. THESE VARIANCE GIVEN HERE TONIGHT ARE ALL CAN BE OVERCOME.

I'M SPEAKING AS A DEVELOPER. SO I'M VERY DISCOURAGED.

I'M IRRITATED AND EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED. I HEARD PEOPLE TALK TONIGHT ABOUT WE LOVE THAT IT FITS OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

WHICH ONE? THE ONE THAT WE BOUGHT OUR HOMES FOR WAS THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT SHOWS THE PARK THAT'S NOW BEING GIVEN AWAY AND GREATLY REDUCED UNDER THIS PLAN, AND A PREVIOUS PLAN THAT YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT WHEN IT WAS MULTIFAMILY.

WE GO BY THAT PLAN, AND I HEARD COUNCILMAN NIX MAKE THE COMMENT ABOUT THE CUL DE SAC, SEEING THAT IT GAVE US THE IMPRESSION, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF DISCOURAGING WHEN NOW THE IMPRESSION IS GOING AWAY WITH THE CUL DE SAC. IT'S GOING TO BE A ROAD. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IS WHEN YOU HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT SAID, THIS IS GOING TO BE A PARK OF A CERTAIN SIZE.

I'VE ALSO HEARD ARGUMENTS WHEN WE QUESTIONED, WHY ARE WE CHANGING IT? WHY ARE WE GIVING UP THE PARK LAND TO A DEVELOPER?

[01:10:04]

HOWEVER, WHEN THE QUESTION WAS RAISED, WHAT WAS THE PLANNING COMMISSION? NOT PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT WHEN WE CAME UP WITH THE MASTER PLAN, WHAT WAS IT THEY WERE THINKING AT THAT TIME? AND I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO SAY, WELL, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. IT WAS TO BE DEVELOPED.

WE ALWAYS KNEW THIS WAS THE LAST AREA TO BE DEVELOPED IN LENEXA GOING WEST.

SO IT WAS GOING TO COME. AND WHEN I HEARD FROM SCOTT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT HE THOUGHT THAT PROBABLY THE THOUGHT PROCESS, THIS WOULD BE A TRAIL AREA WITH A NATURAL PRESERVE OF THE FOREST, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE THOUGHT.

SO WE NEVER WERE PLANNING ON HAVING A FLAT, FULL SCALE PARK THERE AS MUCH AS WALKING TRAIL TO ENJOY ALL OF THE WOODS, THE NATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE WHERE WE LIVE NOW.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT, OKAY, WELL THE TERRAIN. HAVE YOU BEEN THROUGH IT? I'D ASK ALL OF YOU TO WALK THROUGH IT. IT IS HEAVILY WOODED, BUT IF YOU IMAGINE THOSE WOODS BEING GONE, IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE LIVE IN. AND OUR TRAIL IS SUPPOSED TO EVENTUALLY GO DOWN THAT RAVINE BACK TOWARDS CANYON CREEK TO CONNECT TO ANOTHER TRAIL THE CITY HAS. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT'S WORSE TERRAIN THAN WE HAVE HERE, AND THAT'S PART OF THE PLAN OF THE CITY.

SO WE'RE REALLY DISCOURAGED. THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO IS NOT THE DEVELOPMENT.

I THINK THIS IS MUCH IMPROVED OVER THE TWO FAMILY, THE CONDOS, ETC., AND I THINK MOST OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AGREED WITH THAT.

I THINK MOST OF YOU WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. THAT'S BETTER, BECAUSE THE CITY OF LENEXA HAS THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF APARTMENTS IN THE METRO AREA PER CAPITA. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR. WE'RE 52% APARTMENTS WELL OVER THE SURROUNDING AREAS, AND PER CAPITA IS LARGER IN THOSE AREAS. SO MY POINT BEING, WE THINK THIS IS A BETTER PLAN BECAUSE IT'S SINGLE FAMILY.

IT STILL CONCERNS ME TO HEAR SCOTT TALK ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDED THERE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I THINK THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD SAY, WE DON'T NEED IT. WE'VE GOT TWO CONVENIENCE STORES GOING DOWN THE STREET THAT YOU ALL HAVE APPROVED.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. THERE'S PLENTY OF AMENITIES TO GET ON K-10 OR K7 TO GO SOMEWHERE.

SO THAT ALSO CONCERNED ME. WE'LL BE BACK HERE AGAIN TALKING ABOUT THAT.

A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. THE DEVELOPER TOLD US AT PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THOSE ARE $400,000 HOMES ON THE CORNER IN THAT FIRST PHASE.

I HEARD 500 TONIGHT. WE SAW THE WEBSITE THAT THEY'RE POSTING.

600 WAS THE MINIMUM. SO HOW DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN WHAT'S BEING TOLD TO US WHEN HE SAID AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS FIVE, I'M SORRY FOUR. AND THAT'S ON RECORD TONIGHT IT WAS FIVE.

AND THAT WEBSITE THAT TRACY SHOWED SAID SIX. SO DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE HERE? I KNOW YOU HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE ROADS WE DO TO.

WE HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST CANYON CREEK FOR THAT SECOND EXIT.

OTHERWISE, ALL THAT TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE DIRECTLY FROM OUR POINT. IT'S DEAD END ON ONE END FACING TRAFFIC, ALL TRYING TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD IN THAT FIRST PHASE SPACE, HAVING CANYON CREEK EXTENDED AT LEAST TO THE SECOND DRIVE WHEN THAT AREA IS DEVELOPED IS CRITICAL. SECONDLY, I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THERE IS NOTHING MENTIONED ABOUT MIZE ROAD WHEN WE GO ACROSS 91ST.

HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DRIVEN ON MIZE ROAD? WHEN YOU SEE A BIG CAR COMING, WHAT DO YOU DO? WHITE KNUCKLE GET OVER TO THE EDGE AS FAR AS YOU CAN.

SOMETIMES IT'S A STEEP DROP OFF. WHEN THAT LARGER DEVELOPMENT IN THE LAST PHASES GETS DONE, MIZE HAS TO BE IMPROVED BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE WILL START GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION MORE SO THAN BACK TO THE HIGHWAY.

SO I THINK THAT'S ALSO A CONCERN TO NOT HAVE BLINDERS ON.

BIG PICTURE. WE NEED TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.

SO I THINK THAT'S MAINLY MY CONCERN. WE EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT THE STORM.

WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT DEVELOPMENT BEFORE AND YOU ALL SAID WE GOT THE BEST WATER, WE HAVE TRUST IN IT.

WELL, ALL THAT WATER IS STILL GOING TO GO IN THAT SAME CREEK THAT WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, THAT ALL THAT DEVELOPMENT IS PUTTING WATER IN.

AND HAS THIS DEVELOPER MET WITH ANY OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS? ARBOR CREEK. DID YOU ALL GET MET WITH? WE DID, AND WE'RE RIGHT ADJACENT TO IT.

MOST BIG DEVELOPMENTS WILL MEET WITH THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS TO AT LEAST GET SOME INPUT FROM US.

AND SO WE CAN SEE MORE THAN WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE TONIGHT.

THAT HASN'T HAPPENED. AND THAT'S NOT A KNOCK ON YOU, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT I'M SURPRISED YOU ALL ARE NOT ENCOURAGING THEM TO DO. LIKE I SAID, I THINK THE PLAN IS BETTER, BUT I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU CHANGING THE PARK GREATLY, REDUCING THAT PARK AREA IN SOME OF THE REASONING THAT'S BEHIND IT TO THE CITY.

IT DOESN'T, I MEAN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE GETTING IRRITATED, FRUSTRATED WITH SOME OF THE VARIANCES THAT ARE GIVEN IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND TRADING PARKLAND. HOW DOES THAT LOOK TO THE PUBLIC?

[01:15:03]

SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND AT LEAST ALLOW ME TO TALK.

THANK YOU. OTHER COMMENTS.

SORRY I DIDN'T GET THIS ONE ON BEFORE WE STARTED.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'M GLAD YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. WELL, I HOPE I DO.

YOU MIGHT BE. RIGHT. MAYBE.

MAYBE I CAN DO IT HERE.

NOPE, THEY'RE NOT THERE. WHY IS MY. IS THIS. MAY I ASK A FRIEND? A FRIEND, JERRY? ANY IDEA WHY THE. MY DRIVE IS NOT SHOWING? UP. IT WORKED FOR THE OTHERS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. WELL, THERE WE GO. YOU JUST WANT TO.

YOU JUST CLICK ON HIM TO PLAY HIM. THANK YOU.

JENNIFER. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS BOB MOORE. I TALKED WITH COUNCILMAN JOHN HANLEY TODAY.

I LIVE IN ARBOR LAKE. MY WIFE AND I, LAURA. LAURA COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. WE LIVED IN OVERLAND PARK FOR 25 YEARS.

WE'VE BEEN HERE THREE YEARS. WE LOVE LENEXA. WE LOVE ARBOR LAKE, AND WE WANT TO KEEP THIS COMMUNITY UP TO THE STANDARD.

AND MY MAIN CONCERN HERE, I'M GOING TO PIGGYBACK A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT THESE TWO GENTLEMEN SAID. BUT MY MAIN CONCERNS WAS EVEN BEFORE SUNSET CANYON, 91ST STREET, WHICH I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME VIDEOS TO ECHO THAT WHITE KNUCKLE THING THAT HE SAID.

IT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY AS YOU GO, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR MAP AS YOU GO WESTWARD ON 91ST STREET FROM CLAIRE, IT'S GUTTERED AND GRADED AND THE SPEED LIMIT IS 25 MILES AN HOUR.

WHEN YOU REACH GREEN, IT'S NOT GRADED, NO SHOULDER, AND IT BECOMES 35 MILES AN HOUR.

AND WE'D LIKE TO GET THAT SPEED LIMIT CHANGED FROM GREEN ROAD ALL THE WAY TO CEDAR NILES FROM 35 TO 25MPH IS WHAT WE'RE ASKING.

WHEN YOU GO FROM FIRE STABLES ON CEDAR NILES NORTH, IT'S 25MPH.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT MIGHT JUST BE A LEFTOVER FROM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONLY TWO SIGNS ON THE STREET, SO IT MIGHT BE A LEFTOVER FROM BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CUT THRUS.

SO THE NEIGHBORHOODS NORTH OF CEDAR. NILES WHEN THEY WANT TO GO EAST ON K-10, THEY COME DOWN 91ST STREET, AND THEN THEY TURN RIGHT ON GREEN ROAD, WHICH IS OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THEN THEY GO THROUGH SHADY BEND UP TO PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

SO THE SOONEST THAT MIZE ROAD CAN BE EXTENDED WOULD BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO ARBOR LAKE.

SOME OTHER THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT MAYBE IS INCREASING ENFORCEMENT ON THE SPEED LIMIT.

AT CERTAIN TIMES. WE'RE GETTING SOME MORE INPUT FOR JOHN. I ACTUALLY FIND OUT THAT I LIVE TEN FEET INTO BILL NIXON'S WARD.

SO I'LL CALL YOU BILL. I'M A NEW LENEXA RESIDENT.

BUT AND MAYBE THE CITY COULD TALK TO GOOGLE TO CHANGE THE ALGORITHM.

YOU KNOW, ONE STORY I SHARED WITH JOHN, YOU KNOW, WE HAD PEOPLE PUT OUT CONES, WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO SLOW PEOPLE DOWN. WELL, THIS WOMAN RAN OVER THE CONE WHILE SHE WAS TEXTING AND CALLED THE POLICE. LENEXA POLICE CAME OUT.

THEY WERE WONDERFUL. SAID YOU GOT TO TAKE THE CONES DOWN, BUT WE UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT.

SO IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW DANGEROUS THAT CUT THROUGH IS BETWEEN 91ST STREET AND GREEN ON THE SHADY BEND.

AND THEN I'LL JUST CLOSE WITH I'LL JUST SHOW YOU A COUPLE VIDEOS HERE. AND THIS IS THE GOOD ONE.

THIS IS THE ONE THAT YOU'RE CUTTING THROUGH. WE'RE DRIVING EASTBOUND ON 94TH STREET, AND YOU CAN SEE THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN.

THERE IS 35MPH AS YOU GO DOWN CEDAR NILES, TOWARDS 83RD STREET.

THE SPEED LIMIT IS ONLY 25MPH. MY WIFE IS NOW DRIVING AT 35MPH ON THE SAME ROAD THAT WE JUST CAME BY.

[01:20:03]

SHE'S ACCELERATING BACK TO 35MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT.

WE'RE COMING OVER THE SECOND HUMP. AND THEN THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER ACCESS POINT FOR SUNSET CANYON.

SHE'S SLOWING DOWN NOW TO GO OVER THE HILL. AND THEN AS WE COME HERE TO 91ST STREET AND MIZE, YOU CAN JUST SEE THIS LAST 35 MILE PER HOUR SIGN THAT WE'D LIKE TO HAVE CHANGE OF 25MPH.

AND YOU CAN JUST SEE HOW WHEN PEOPLE GO 35, 45, 50MPH DOWN THIS ROAD, HOW DANGEROUS IT IS AND WHAT THE NEED IS FOR THE SPEED LIMIT.

SHE'S ACCELERATING NOW TO 35MPH. AND THEN AS SHE GOES STRAIGHT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT AS SOON AS YOU GET OVER THE HILL, THE ROAD EXPANDS, IS GRADED AND GUTTERED, AND THEN IT GOES TO 25MPH.

THE PRODUCTION CREW HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM AT THAT POINT, SO WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET TO SEE THAT FAR.

BUT COME ON, THIS IS THE THIS IS THE NICE WAY.

THIS IS WHERE THE WE CALL THEM CUTTERS IS WHAT WE CALL THEM.

AND WE UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY'S GOT TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B, BUT THIS IS GOING GREEN ROAD NORTH ON GREEN AND HEADING TO THE NORTH.

THIS IS WHERE WE GET THE MAJORITY OF THE CUT THROUGH'S COMING FROM PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY, CUTTING THROUGH SHADY BEND ONTO GREEN ROAD TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT ON THE 91ST STREET, WE'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME HELP RESOLVING THIS ISSUE.

MAYBE CONTACTING GOOGLE TO MAYBE CHANGE THE ALGORITHM.

QUIT HAVING US CUT THROUGH. WE'RE NOW TURNING LEFT.

LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC HERE AT THIS TURN HERE. GREEN ROAD ONTO 91ST STREET TURNING WEST.

AND THEN THIS IS THE OTHER ISSUE WE'D LIKE TO HAVE.

HIS POINT WE GOT THREE CARS ON A ROAD THAT WON'T FIT TWO.

THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35MPH. WE'D LIKE TO HAVE IT CHANGED TO 25MPH.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, AS YOU TURN LEFT, THERE'S NO SHOULDERS, THERE'S NO STRIPING.

AND THEN JUST TO THE EAST OF ME ON 91ST STREET, WHERE THE ROAD IS GUTTERED, THE SPEED LIMIT IS 25, AND WE UNDERSTAND THE DEVELOPER IS GOING TO WORK ON THAT AND EXPAND THAT.

AND WE APPRECIATE THAT. WE AS BOB AND LAURA MOORE, SUPPORT THE HOME DEVELOPMENT IN THIS COMMUNITY.

WE'D LIKE TO SEE SOME OF THE ISSUES ADDRESSED ABOUT THE PARK THAT THE OTHER NEIGHBORS.

ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE ON 91ST STREET AND, AND COUNCILWOMAN COURTNEY MENTIONED IT.

SO IF THEY HAVE THOSE TWO ACCESS POINTS FROM SUNSET CANYON NORTHBOUND ON THE 91ST STREET, WELL, RIGHT NOW THERE'S THREE HUMPS. I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE GOING TO WATERFALL THAT, OR IS THE STREET GOING TO BE LEVELED OKAY.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE COMING OVER THAT HUMP AND THEN THE ENTRYWAY IS RIGHT THERE.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE EXPANSION OR WHEN YOU UPGRADE 91ST STREET, IF THAT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, LEVELED. THAT'S A GREAT EXPENSE. BUT IT'D BE TOO DANGEROUS TO PUT TWO MORE ACCESS POINTS THERE, AND IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK AND HAVE A GOOD EVENING. I WAS GOING TO HAVE LOGAN ACTUALLY COME BACK FIRST TO ADDRESS THE TRAIL QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THE TRAIL FOLLOWS THAT RED DOTTED LINE THAT WAS IN THAT PRESENTATION BECAUSE I THOUGHT OUR TRAIL MAP WENT THROUGH THE CENTER.

AND THEN AGAIN, WHAT THE PARK'S MASTER PLAN HAD IN TIMELINE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK ITSELF? YEAH, I'VE HONESTLY, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN THAT EXHIBIT WITH THE RED LINE, AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT EXHIBIT CAME FROM, BUT I CAN I CAN ADDRESS I CAN ADDRESS THAT. THAT WAS THE APPLICANT'S VERY CONCEPTUAL IDEA OF WHAT A TRAIL COULD, COULD DO IN THAT PARK. OKAY. THE PARK IS FULLY UNDER CONTROL OF THE CITY IN TERMS OF ITS DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE.

OKAY. BUT THE PARK, THE TRAIL MASTER PLAN DID SHOW IT CUTTING THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE STREAMWAY.

CORRECT? YEAH, IT ACTUALLY LIES THROUGH THAT PROPERTY AND KIND OF GOES BACK DOWN.

SO THAT DIAGRAM WITH IT KIND OF GOING ALONG THE EDGES LOOKS LIKE IT'S INCORRECT.

YEAH. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, TOO, I MEAN EVEN OUR THE DOTTED LINES THAT I SHOWED YOU ON EXHIBIT, I SHOWED THOSE THINGS COULD CHANGE A LITTLE BIT.

I MEAN, BUT THE INTENTION THERE IS TO FOLLOW A CORRIDOR JUST LIKE ABOUT 80% OF THE TRAILS WE HAVE IN LENEXA.

OKAY. AND THEN YOU HAD A SLIDE EARLIER THIS EVENING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TIMELINE WHERE THAT PARK FALLS AND THE PARK MASTER PLAN.

WILL YOU REVISIT THAT POINT, PLEASE? YEAH. SO IT WAS A TIER TWO INITIATIVE, WHICH WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 6 TO 10 YEARS OUT.

AGAIN, IT WAS COMPLETED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, SO THE EARLIEST TO BE COMPLETED IS IN ABOUT FIVE YEARS.

YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY TO DEVELOP A PARK FROM SCRATCH, A PARK WITH A TOPOGRAPHY THAT THIS HAS IS JUST TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO GATHER THE RESOURCES AND KIND OF GO TO PULL THE TRIGGER. SO, YEAH, WE'RE EXCITED.

[01:25:03]

SO THANK YOU. AND THEN TIM, YOU WANTED TO. OH, THERE YOU ARE.

YES. I APPRECIATE BOB'S COMMENTS. YES. ON 91ST STREET IT WOULD BE DESIGNED WHATEVER DESIGNS WE DECIDE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL BE A 30 MILE AN HOUR OR 25 MILE AN HOUR, BUT ALL OF THE THOSE HOMES WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN DOWN AND IT'LL BE LEVELED OUT ENOUGH SO THAT IT DRAINS AND WIDENED, OF COURSE. SO WE GET A FULL 28 FOOT BACK TO BACK IN THERE AND TO MAKE IT SAFE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT CHANGES CAME.

I THINK THOSE ARE OLD LEFTOVER SIGNS FROM WAY BACK WHEN, BUT WE WILL DEFINITELY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FIRST THING TOMORROW AND SEE WHAT WE CAN, OKAY. WHAT WE CAN LOOK AT. AND THEN I BELIEVE CHIEF LAYMAN SAID THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO HAVE THE PUT A SPEED MONITORING DEVICE OUT THERE AND COLLECT SOME DATA AND THEN BRING THAT BACK.

YEAH. THANK YOU. AND, AND I AGREE WITH BOB TO THE, THE MIZE EXTENSION.

I THINK THAT WILL HELP ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THE CUT THROUGH ON GREEN.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY NEEDED. OKAY. AND THEN GENERALLY, CAN YOU SPEAK TO WHAT OUR PROCESS IS FOR DECIDING WHEN STREETS GET IMPROVED WITH CURB AND GUTTER AND WIDENING AND ALL OF THAT JUST FOR EVERYONE'S KNOWLEDGE? TYPICALLY IT JUST GOES INTO THE CIP AND IT'S BASED ON VOLUMES SAFETY.

AND, AND I THINK THIS DEVELOPMENT IS KIND OF WELL, THE WHOLE AREA IS JUST KIND OF DEVELOPED A LITTLE FASTER THAN WE HAVE IMPROVED THE STREETS OUT THERE. BUT I THINK THAT'S THE INITIATIVE TO TO GET CANEY CREEK BOULEVARD AND 91ST STREET.

DONE AS QUICK AS WE CAN IN THIS AREA. YEAH. SO SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH 83RD STREET NOW.

CORRECT? CORRECT. AS SOON AS THE TRAFFIC VOLUME AND DENSITY IS THERE, THEN WE START MAKING THOSE IMPROVEMENTS.

CORRECT. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. CORRECT. AND, MAYOR, YOUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM REALLY SPEAKS TO THAT IN MORE DETAIL WHERE WE'VE ACTUALLY WORKED OUT THE THE WHO'S GOING TO BUILD WHAT AND HOW THAT'S ALL GOING TO GET TAKEN CARE OF AND WHAT TIMING.

AND IT SORT OF GOES TO THE PHASING THAT TRAVIS MENTIONED AS WELL.

OKAY. AND I WOULD JUST CLARIFY, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMENTS OF MIZE VERSUS CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD.

I BELIEVE IT WAS A ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION. WHEN WE CHANGED THE NAME 15, 20 YEARS AGO, THAT CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD NAME GOES ALL THE WAY TO 91ST STREET, AND THEN 91ST STREET NORTH IS MIZE BOULEVARD.

SO JUST CLARIFICATION. OKAY. MELANIE, YOU HAD A QUESTION.

WHILE ONE OF THE FIRST RESIDENTS WAS SPEAKING, DID YOU STILL HAVE THAT QUESTION? YES. I HAD A QUESTION FOR. I BELIEVE IT WAS MR. TRACY THOMAS. IS THERE A WAY WHERE WE COULD PULL UP THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION AGAIN, PLEASE? YOU WERE THIS ONE, RIGHT? THANK YOU. OKAY. SO YOU SHOWED US THIS ON THIS FIRST SLIDE WHERE THIS FUTURE LENEXA SIGN WAS BUT ACTUALLY, CAN YOU SHOW ME WHERE IT WAS USING THE DEVELOPER'S PLAT USING THEIR OWN ILLUSTRATION INSTEAD OF THIS ONE? I'M SORRY. YEAH. CAN YOU KEEP GOING ON YOUR SLIDES? THIS ONE HERE. WHERE? IN HERE WAS THAT SIGN? I JUST NEED SOME CLARIFICATION.

WHERE WAS THE SIGN THAT I REFERENCED? THE SIGN WOULD BE ABOUT RIGHT HERE.

KIND OF BY THE A AND I AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY ON THE RIGHT IMAGE.

YEAH. THE SIGN WOULD BE ABOUT RIGHT. PROBABLY ABOUT RIGHT THERE.

OKAY. OKAY. NO, THANK YOU FOR THAT. I CAN SEE HOW THE CONFUSION CAME UP.

OKAY. CONFUSION? YEAH, THAT WAS PROBABLY NOT THE MOST ACCURATE WORD TO SAY.

I THINK WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE IS THAT MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT THERE WAS AN ASSUMPTION ON Y'ALL'S END THAT THIS WHOLE BLOCK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE PARK AND NOT THIS SQUARE AREA. IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? THE SQUARED AREA IS WHAT WAS TO BE DEVELOPED.

THAT'S ON THE LENEXA.COM WEBSITE RIGHT NOW. YEAH.

SO THE SIGN IS GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT IS NOW.

YES. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. THE SIGN HAS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS LONGER THAN CANYON CREEK POINT HAS.

OKAY. SO THEN YOU GUYS WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE DEVELOPMENT HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF THAT SQUARED AREA HERE.

OUTSIDE, BUT NOT IN THERE. YEAH. OUTSIDE OF THE AREA AS WE LEARNED FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION LAST MONTH.

OKAY. YEAH. THAT'S WHEN WE FIRST SAW THOSE DETAILS.

[01:30:02]

OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. SURE.

DID YOU WANT TO CHIME IN ON 60 ACRE? HOW IT WAS 1994 IS THE YEAR THAT COUNCIL MEMBER NICKS SHARED BECAUSE HE WAS THE PARKS DIRECTOR AT THAT TIME? YEAH.

I MEAN, YEAH, THE SIGN'S BEEN THERE FOREVER. WE ACQUIRED THE PARK 93 AND I IMAGINE THE ROUTED SIGN WENT UP IN 94, YOU KNOW. SO. YEAH. YEAH.

IT'S TIME. ARE WE READY TO TALK? YEAH. YEAH. I, TOO, LIKE THIS PLAN OF THE SINGLE FAMILY, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

THAT'S LIKES THE PLAN. AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN MANY SINGLE FAMILY PLANS LATELY. LIKE CHELSEA SAID, WE'VE SEEN AN AWFUL LOT OF MULTI-FAMILY.

SO THIS IS VERY GOOD, THE PLAN. AND I LIKE, I LIKE THE PARK PORTION AND THE SWAP AND I THINK ONCE WE GET THAT EXTRA 11 ACRES AND THE ADDITIONAL WHAT I'LL CALL CORRIDORS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER 23, I THINK THE NUMBER WAS TONIGHT AS FAR AS IT WILL SURE LOOK LIKE PARK IF IT'S GOT A TRAIL UP THROUGH IT.

I JUST THINK THIS IS A GOOD DEAL FOR THE PARK SYSTEM AND FOR THE CITY.

WE'VE GOT A BIG PARK AT SAR-KO-PAR. WE'VE GOT A BIG PARK AT BLACK HOOF.

WE'VE GOT A BIG PARK AT CENTENNIAL, WHICH CENTENNIAL HAS SOME DESIGN FEATURES SIMILAR TO THIS.

WORKING WITH A, WE HOPE, A SQUARE PIECE OF GROUND OR RECTANGULAR PIECE OF GROUND AND SEE HOW HOMES CAN FIT INTO IT. AND WE'VE GOT THIS BIG PARK WHICH IS NOW 71 OR 72 ACRES.

I THINK IT'S VERY GOOD. AS FAR AS I STARTED THIS MONOLOGUE.

I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SAID MY EX PARTE. I MET WITH TRACEY A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND I'VE MET WITH TRAVIS AND ONCE, AND SO I LIKE THIS THIS PLAN. I PLAN TO SUPPORT IT.

I THINK LOGAN WILL GATHER EVERYBODY WHO HAS AN INTEREST IN IT, GET INPUT ON THE BALANCE OF NATURE AND THE BALANCE OF IMPROVEMENTS AND THE BALANCE OF TRAILS.

AND IT JUST IT JUST SERVED US REALLY WELL. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. COURTNEY. OKAY. AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL OF THIS TONIGHT THE FIRST THING THAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT I, TOO, LIKE THE DEVELOPMENT.

I THINK I LIKE THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE BEING OFFERED ACROSS THE PRICE POINTS AND SIZING.

I HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT LITTLE CORRIDOR BEING FINISHED LAST.

BUT I'VE ALSO SEEN THINGS HAPPEN AS DEVELOPMENT GOES.

BUT I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONCERNS FROM THE NEIGHBORS.

BECAUSE AS I'M LISTENING TO, I'M WRITING DOWN LIKE SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU NEED.

WHAT I'M GATHERING IS, IS THAT THERE'S THIS FRUSTRATION AROUND BELIEVING THAT THE 60 ACRE SQUARE WAS GOING TO BE THIS FUTURE PARK, AND YOU DON'T THINK THAT IT'S HAPPENED FAST ENOUGH? AND WITH THE LAND SWAP, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS ACTUALLY GAINING MORE USABLE PARK AREA BY ADDING 11 ACRES TO IT AND MAKING A DEVELOPMENT AROUND IT THAT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT YOU ALL LIVE IN.

AND I DON'T I DIDN'T HEAR TONIGHT ANYBODY REALLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF,

[01:35:01]

IT DOESN'T FEEL TO ME LIKE YOU'RE LOSING THAT ESTHETIC OF THE PARK BEING CLOSE.

YOU'RE ACTUALLY GAINING MORE ACREAGE ON THE NORTHERN END OF IT.

BUT WHEN THE TRAIL SYSTEM IS BUILT AND COMES THROUGH, IT FEELS TO ME THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE WANTING.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY TONIGHT HAS COME IN AND SAID, I WANT A PLAYGROUND OR I WANT THESE THINGS TO BE DEVELOPED, THAT YOU'RE JUST WANTING THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND MAYBE A TIMELINE FOR THAT.

AND I FEEL LIKE THE WAY THAT THIS IS BEING DEVELOPED ACTUALLY IS MORE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE WHOLE TRAIL PROCESS AND CONNECTIONS THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF WE KEPT THE BOX. AND SO I UNDERSTAND THAT IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE MAKING CONCESSIONS FOR DEVELOPERS, BUT IN THE REALITY IS THAT THIS IS THE LAND IS GOING TO GET DEVELOPED AROUND IT.

AND IF WE CAN MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS TO BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR OUR PUBLIC PROPERTY AND FOR WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IN THAT AREA THAT IS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOUR CURRENT PRODUCT IS. I THINK THAT THIS IS A RIGHT FIT AND I PLAN TO SUPPORT IT.

THANK YOU JOHN. THAT WAS REALLY WELL PUT. I APPRECIATE COUNCILWOMAN EITERICH TAKE ON THAT.

I'LL JUST REITERATE SOME OF MY CONCERNS WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND AMENITIES CENTER TIMING.

I ALSO REALLY THANK STAFF FOR JUMPING ON SOME OF THE COMMENTS FROM MR. MOORE BECAUSE I HAD HAD THAT CONVERSATION WITH HIM EARLIER TODAY AND JUST HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO FORWARD THOSE TO CHIEF LAYMAN AND TO YOU.

SO THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH FOR JUMPING ON TO THAT.

BUT THEN OVERALL, YEAH, I THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE DENSITY FOR THE AREA.

LOVE HAVING MORE SINGLE FAMILY, LOVE HAVING OPTIONS WITHIN THAT SINGLE FAMILY FOR SPACE AND FOR AFFORDABILITY.

EVEN IF THERE'S SOME QUESTION MARKS ABOUT WHAT THAT STARTING NUMBER IS.

BUT I THINK THE ONLY THING I COULD REALLY ADD TO WHAT COURTNEY SAID WAS THAT THIS IS NOT A ZERO SUM SOMEONE HAS TO LOSE.

FOR SOMEONE TO WIN. THIS SWAP IS BENEFICIAL FOR EVERYONE, AND WE HAVE THE TIME TO PLAN OUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

AND THAT ALSO MEANS THAT THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH YOU ALL.

AS THAT HAPPENS, I'LL GIVE UP MY TIME. OKAY. THANK YOU, BILL.

GENTLEMEN. OH. YES, SIR. CAN I JUST ADD A COMMENT? CAN YOU COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE? PARDON ME. YOU NEED TO COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE. FOR FOLKS WATCHING AT HOME.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT THAT. WE SWAPPED LAND AND WE'RE GETTING 12 MORE ACRES, BUT AREN'T THEY ON A DIFFERENT SITE THAT'S MORE FLAT? THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD. WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY DONE.

OKAY, SO THAT'S INCORRECT THAT THE 12 ACRES THAT WE SWAPPED WITH ANOTHER DEVELOPER IS GOING TO BE IN A BETTER AREA BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO DEVELOP, IT'S MORE FLAT. THAT'S WHAT WE UNDERSTOOD. SO THAT MIGHT BE A MISNOMER ON OUR PART.

NUMBER ONE. BUT WHY DON'T WE DESIGN THE PARK NOW TO GO WITH THE DEVELOPMENT? DOESN'T THAT MAKE SENSE FROM A DEVELOPER STANDPOINT WE'RE BUILDING? WHEN WE BUILT OUR SUBDIVISION, WE PUT IN THE TRAIL THAT WAS REQUIRED OF THE DEVELOPER AS PART OF OUR PROJECT.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO COME IN AND BUILD THIS 60 ACRE PARK AFTER THE DEVELOPER'S DONE? I HEARD 6 OR 8, EIGHT YEARS. HOW MANY YEARS HAVE WE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE PARK? YOU'VE HEARD US FOR THREE YEARS. TALK ABOUT IT.

SO WHY CAN'T WE GO AHEAD AND DESIGN IT? IF YOU NEED SOMEBODY TO HELP DESIGN IT, WE CAN DO IT WITH AN ECONOMICAL COST AND GET IT DONE AND DO IT PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT MAKES MORE SENSE. THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.

THANK YOU. I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT THE ISSUE OF FLATNESS IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S MORE THE PARK NOW FOLLOWS THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LAND.

IT WAS SAID AT ONE OF THE MEETINGS. OKAY, BY THE PARK.

OKAY. YEAH. I THINK WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAY IS THAT YOU THINK THAT THE LAND THAT THE EXTRA 11 POINT WHATEVER ACRES IS IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION WHEN IT'S REALLY NOT, IT'S ACTUALLY JUST ON THE NORTH EDGE AND ADDED TO THE CURRENT TRACT.

AND SO IT'S NOT IT'S ACTUALLY MAKES THE PARK BIGGER THAN WHAT THE ORIGINAL RECTANGLE WAS.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AND SO IT'S NOT LIKE IN A SEPARATE LOCATION EAST OF TOWN, YOU KNOW, OR YOU KNOW, THAT WASN'T THAT KIND OF SWAP. IT WAS LITERALLY JUST MANEUVERING THE TWO TRACKS AROUND.

I HOPE THAT HELPED. OKAY. ANYTHING. SOUTHEND.

[01:40:04]

THE THING THAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS IS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD STARTS TO LOOK LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S BEEN WELL PLANNED, NEXT TO A PARK THAT'S BEEN WELL PLANNED, THAT ALL RESPECTS THE LAND THAT IT'S SITTING ON.

STREAM, CORRIDOR, TRAILS, PARK. THE WHOLE THING FITS TOGETHER AND MAKES MORE SENSE THAN JUST AN ARBITRARY SQUARE ON A PLAN WITH SOME UNKNOWN THING AROUND IT. SO THAT'S WHY I ALSO THINK THIS IS A WIN WIN FOR BOTH THE SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS GREAT. AND THEN AS WE ENVISION WHAT A PARK MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND HOW YOU MIGHT USE IT THAT SORT OF MEANDERING SHAPE MAKES MORE SENSE THAN JUST A RECTANGLE. SO THAT'S WHY I AGREE WITH THIS PLAN AS WELL.

SO YES. SO FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LIVING HERE 40 YEARS AND HAVING BEEN ON THE PARK BOARD FOR 27 YEARS BEFORE I JOINED THE COUNCIL, I CAN REMEMBER, AS BILL DOES WELL, WHAT WE USED TO CALL 80 ACRE PARK ON MONTICELLO.

AND IF YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE WHAT 80 ACRE PARK IS, IT'S NOW THROUGH THOUGHTFUL DELIBERATION AND DISCUSSION, IT'S ABOUT 240 ACRES AND WE CALL IT BLACK HOOF PARK, WITH A LAKE THAT'S MUCH BIGGER THAN WHAT IT WOULD HAVE FIT ON 80 ACRES.

BUT BILL AND I WANDERED DOWN THROUGH THAT STREAM BED WAY BACK WHEN.

SO I THINK DEVELOPMENT IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE THING.

YOU DON'T GO TO THE STORE AND BUY A DEVELOPMENT AND HANG IT OUT THERE.

IT TAKES A LOT OF THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION, AND I'M CONFIDENT WE'LL GET THERE.

BUT I THINK IT'S WITH ALL THE OTHER. THINGS THAT THE CITY HAS TO DO WITH OUR PARKS AND OTHER THINGS.

RESOURCES ARE LIMITED. AND SO WE DON'T GO INTO UNDEVELOPED AREAS AND BUILD A PARK FIRST.

WE ACQUIRE THE LAND OUT AHEAD OF DEVELOPMENT, BUT WE DON'T BUILD THE PARK.

MARK, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT IN THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA.

BUT IT'S REALLY I THINK A LOT OF THE CONCERN IS THE ROADS AND GETTING MIZE AND GETTING COTTONWOOD CANYON CREEK PARKWAY IMPROVED.

AND THE TIMING OF THOSE, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. I TOO SPOKE WITH DEVELOPER AT A MEETING ONCE, AND I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS ABOUT THE, THE CUL DE SAC.

AND QUITE FRANKLY, THE NEIGHBOR SAID, THE DEVELOPER SAID THAT THAT'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE A THROUGH ROAD.

SO HE KNEW THAT THAT WASN'T GOING TO BE A DEAD END CUL DE SAC.

AND IT JUST REALLY IS THE TIMING OF THINGS. AND I THINK THE CITY DOES A GREAT JOB IN REGARDS TO THE PLANNING OF THE ROADS AND WORKING ON.

YOU GOT TO BUILD IT. THEY'LL COME. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT TO PLAN THOSE APPROPRIATELY.

APPROPRIATELY. AND I THINK TIM AND HIS STAFF AND ALSO THE DEVELOPER, I THINK WE'LL BE HEARING SOON ABOUT THAT AND HOPEFULLY THE TIMING WORKS WELL AND GETS THIS STUFF ALL PHASED IN APPROPRIATELY FOR EVERYBODY'S LIKING.

I AM IN FAVOR OF THE PLAN. OKAY. ANY FINAL THOUGHTS? I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PASS THE ORDINANCE. REZONING THE PROPERTY FROM AG AGRICULTURAL TO CP1 PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMERCIAL PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS TO THE RP ONE RESIDENTIAL PLANNED.

SINGLE FAMILY. SO MOVED. SECOND. MOTION BY JOHN MICHAEL.

SECOND BY CHELSEA. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED.

MOTION PASSES. MOTION NUMBER TWO IS TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN AND PLAT FOR SUNSET CANYON ON PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD. A MOTION AND A SECOND, PLEASE.

SO MOVED. MOTION BY CHELSEA. SECOND BY COURTNEY.

ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ITEM NUMBER EIGHT. SAME TOPIC, DIFFERENT LENS TO LOOK AT IT THROUGH.

[8. Resolution approving the 91st Street & Canyon Creek Boulevard development agreement with Grata, LLC]

BEAR WITH ME WHILE I PULL UP MY SLIDE DECK. I AM GOING TO TOUCH ON A LOT OF TOPICS THAT WE BROACHED IN THE LAST ONE, AND HOPEFULLY PROVIDE ALL THE ANSWERS I CAN FOR YOU.

I WILL STATE AS I PICKED UP ON SOME OF YOUR CONVERSATION, A LOT OF WHAT YOU'LL HEAR HERE IS, IS THERE ARE SHARED RESPONSIBILITIES BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER.

[01:45:03]

AND SO I THINK ALL OF US WOULD LOVE TO DO EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE.

A LOT OF TIMES, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT, THAT WE CAN'T.

AND SO THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT KIND OF HOPEFULLY SETS FORTH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BY WHICH WE CAN DO THAT IN AN APPROPRIATE, EFFICIENT AND SAFE MANNER. FRANKLY, AS WE'VE HEARD SOME OF THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'LL JUMP RIGHT INTO MY SLIDE DECK.

SO THE AGREEMENT SETS FORTH THE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUNSET CANYON RESIDENTIAL PROJECT, THE CITY PARK, AND THE ASSOCIATED PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IN ADDITION TO MANY TERMS, IF YOU IF THAT THAT ARE IN THE AGREEMENT, IT HAS FOUR KEY PROVISIONS AND THOSE ARE THE LAND EXCHANGE, THE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT, PARK PROJECT AND THE STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

AND I'LL GO THROUGH EACH ONE OF THOSE KEY PROVISIONS INDIVIDUALLY.

THE LAND EXCHANGE. FIRST SUMMER 2024. WE PUBLISHED NOTICE, AS REQUIRED BY LAW, THAT WE INTENDED TO EXPLORE EXCHANGING CITY PARK PROPERTY. AS YOU GUYS ALL KNOW WE DID NOT RECEIVE A PROTEST PETITION AFTER WE SIGNED OFF ON THAT.

AS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED, WE BELIEVE IT IS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL.

INCREASES THE PARK SIZE AND RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES IN WESTERN LENEXA, WHICH WE ARE OUR COMP PLAN IS SEEKING TO DO.

CITY RECEIVES 28 ACRES, INCREASING ITS OVERALL SIZE AND USABILITY OF THE CITY'S PARKS.

AND THE DEVELOPER RECEIVES 16 ACRES, PROVIDING THEM A BETTER CONFIGURATION FOR THEIR PROJECT.

TERMS FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS THAT SHOULD THIS PASS, THE LAND EXCHANGE WILL CLOSE WITHIN 180 DAYS OF THE DA BEING SIGNED. THEN AT THE BOTTOM, THERE AGAIN IS ANOTHER EXHIBIT THAT I'VE HEARD FROM SOMEONE ELSE IN TERMS OF WHAT THAT DIFFERENCE ULTIMATELY BETWEEN THE TWO.

WE GAINED 11 ACRES AND THEY'RE DOWN 11 ACRES.

GRAPHICALLY SPEAKING, WE SAW THIS IN THE PREVIOUS PRESENTATION.

BUT AGAIN THE THIS THIS RECTANGLE, 60 ACRES HERE IN BLUE.

WE WILL GET THIS SHADED GREEN PORTION AND THAT SHADED GREEN PORTION WHILE WE WILL CONVEY THESE TWO BLUE PORTIONS TO THE DEVELOPER.

PLEASE STOP ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE SEEN MANY VERSIONS OF THE SLIDES I'M SHOWING YOU JUST WITH DIFFERENT DETAILS.

RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. YOU JUST APPROVED IT. I WON'T BELABOR THE POINT, BUT RTP1 81 ACRES OF RP 175 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS WITH ON AND EIGHT TRACKS WITH A 2.15 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE. THE PARK PROJECT.

SO A LITTLE HISTORY. WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN TOUCHED ON THIS, BUT WE PURCHASED THE 60 ACRES IN 1993 FOR FUTURE RECREATION USES.

I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS WAS PRE ANNEXATION OF THIS PROPERTY INTO THE CITY OF LENEXA.

BUT WE OBVIOUSLY KNEW WE WANTED TO GO THIS FAR WEST AND KNEW WE NEEDED TO GET PROPERTY AT A GOOD PRICE WHEN WE, WE COULD IT REMAINS UNIMPROVED, AND THERE ARE NO APPROVED PLANS FOR THE PROPERTY.

THE DEVELOPER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS TO ENHANCE THE FUTURE PARK AND RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES.

SO ONE OF THE FIRST ONES, AND YOU'LL SEE HERE, IS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSTRUCTING, AS PART OF THEIR PHASING TRAILHEADS FROM WITHIN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TO POTENTIAL POINTS OF TRAIL CONNECTIONS INTO OUR FUTURE TRAIL PROJECTS.

SO THOSE ARE APPROXIMATE LOCATIONS YOU SEE ON THE MAP THERE ON THE RIGHT OF THE OR THE LEFT, I SHOULD KNOW, RIGHT? MY RIGHT. SOMEONE'S RIGHT.

AND IT SO THEY WOULD CONNECT IN SO WE'D HAVE STUBS OUT, STUBBED OUT TRAILHEADS THAT WE COULD EVENTUALLY BUILD AND CONNECT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND PROVIDE THAT CONNECTIONS THAT WE SEEK TO HAVE IN ALL OF OUR PLANS AND IN CITY EASEMENTS.

AND, SEAN, THAT'S ALSO IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR RELATIVELY NEW CODE REQUIRING THOSE CUL DE SACS HAVE A LITTLE OUTLET AT THE END.

THANK YOU. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THE SECOND IS THE POND IMPROVEMENTS.

SOME OF THIS IS NECESSITATED BY THE FUTURE STREET IMPROVEMENTS, BUT ALSO IT'S KIND OF A, I THINK BELIEVE IT'S SOMEWHAT UNIMPROVED STORM WATER COLLECTION POINT WITH A BIT OF A DAM ON THE SOUTH END. SO AS PART OF THE EXCHANGE AND PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THEY'LL BE SHIFTING THE POND THE NORTH SHORELINE SOUTH OUT OF THE FUTURE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, 91ST STREET.

THEY'LL REBUILD, REPAIR THE DAM LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE POND.

TO ENSURE THAT THAT'S IN GOOD SHAPE AND THEN DREDGE TO ACCEPTABLE WATER DEPTHS TO MAKE IT FUNCTIONAL FOR BOTH RECREATIONAL AND FUTURE STORMWATER USES AS WELL.

AND SO ONE OF THE FINAL TOPICS STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

OBVIOUSLY THIS WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENT.

AND IT SETS FORTH THE IMPROVEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES, THE PHASING AND THE COORDINATION.

[01:50:07]

THE ENTRANCE PORTION HERE. AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT, I THINK IT WAS BROUGHT UP AND I BROUGHT IT UP AS WELL ON THE RESOURCES.

ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO, THE CITY COMMITTED ITSELF TO BUILD THIS ROAD.

AND IT WAS IT WAS COUCHED IN, WE WILL BUILD THIS ROAD IN LINE WITH DEVELOPMENT AS IT OCCURS.

WILL WE FINALLY REACH THE POINT WHERE DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED TO THE TO THE TO LEVEL THAT WE NEED TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE OUT THERE? SO THAT IS OUR THAT IS, WE ARE STANDING UP TO A LONG TERM COMMITMENT TO BUILDING THIS ROAD, AND THAT KIND OF INFORMS THE REST OF HOW WE WILL SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES.

AND SO THE YELLOW ROAD WILL BE THE DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

AND THAT WAS DISCUSSED. AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO GET ACCESS TO THAT PHASE TWO.

AND THEN CITY AND DEVELOPER WILL SHARE COSTS OF 91ST.

AND I'VE BROKEN IT OUT TO RED IS WHAT THE CITY WILL TAKE INCLUDING THE FUTURE I BELIEVE ROUNDABOUT IN THIS AREA.

AND THEN I'LL CALL PURPLE. THAT WILL BE THE DEVELOPER'S RESPONSIBILITY, WHICH IS FRONTS.

IF YOU IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT FROM A CONCEPTUAL STANDPOINT, WE'LL BE RESPONSIBLE IN FRONT OF THAT NORTH SECTION OF THE PARK, FUTURE PARK PROPERTY BY THE POND. THEY WILL THEN BUILD THE ROAD OVER MOST OF THEIR SECTION OF WHERE THE RESIDENTIAL HOMES WILL GO AND INCLUDING THE, THE ENTRANCES. AND THEN WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT 91ST IS COMPLETED ALL THE WAY TO GREEN.

SO IT'S IMPROVED. AND THEN YOU GOT A T OR YOU GOT A PLUS SIGN HERE AS THE ROUNDABOUT WILL KIND OF SPREAD OUT IN ALL FOUR DIRECTIONS THERE.

AND THEN THIS SECTION WE ARE COMMITTED TO THAT OBVIOUSLY BUILDING THAT.

THAT IS WILL COME IN AS POTENTIALLY THE FINAL ASPECT.

WE HAVE COMMITMENTS ON ALL THESE ROADS TO BUILD THEM.

AS THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRESSES, THE DEVELOPER WILL NEED THE ROADS BUILT TO GET CERTAIN POINTS OF ACCESS TO GET THERE COS SPECIALLY OBVIOUSLY THE THINGS THAT TAKE ACCESS OFF 91ST, THEY OBVIOUSLY CAN'T HAVE HOMES WITH NO ACCESS.

WE HAVE PROVISIONS POTENTIALLY TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER USING THE SAME CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR.

MOST OF THE TIMELINES WILL BE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS WITH ROADS BEING BUILT AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS AND WITH THE LAST ONE OCCURRING NO LATER.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE GREEN SECTION THEN 2031.

BUT THAT'S A NO LATER THAN. AND I'M NOT SAYING WE CAN'T GO AHEAD OR BEFORE, BUT THAT ISN'T DESIGNED IN WORKING WITH FINANCE BECKY AND OUR TEAM.

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE AND IT IS NOT A CHEAP ROAD TO BUILD AS IT GOES.

IT HAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GRADE CHANGE AND WE ARE TRYING TO JUST BE RESPONSIBLE AS WELL.

WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF THE ACCESS FROM THESE PHASES UP HERE TO THEIR FUTURE AMENITY ZONE.

BUT THIS IS ULTIMATELY A CITY RESPONSIBILITY.

SO THAT WORKS INTO WHAT OUR PHASING PLAN GOES.

AND SEAN, YES, SINCE WE'VE GOT A CIP OUT TO 2029 AT THIS POINT, IS ARE ANY OF THESE THINGS INCLUDED? THE DESIGN IS INCLUDED. DESIGN IS INCLUDED ON THE CIP.

OKAY. OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THIS THIS IS COMING EVENTUALLY.

NOT SO MUCH THIS SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE CANYON CREEK EXTENSION FROM PRAIRIE STAR, AS I SAID, HAS BEEN ON OUR RADAR FOR MANY, MANY, MANY 25 QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

SO QUESTIONS THERE ON THAT PHASING. SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER SPECIFICS ON THAT ONE.

THANK YOU. SO I'M GOING TO WRAP IT UP HERE. IT CONTAINS IN ADDITION TO THOSE KEY PROVISIONS AND CONTAINS ALL OF OUR STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT YOU WOULD SEE IN ANY OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS HERE. KIND OF TOUCHED ON ALREADY, STREET IMPROVEMENTS ARE PHASED AND THEY'LL TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, MORE OR LESS. A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON THIS POINT.

I MAKE A POINT OF IT BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE YET HAVE A TIMELINE ON THE CITY PARK PROJECT, AND THIS DOES NOT PUT A TIMELINE ON THAT CITY PARK PROJECT, AND ANY FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW SHOULD THEY COME TO YOU, AND THAT WOULD BE CIP AND OTHER VARIOUS METHODS.

SO WITH THAT, STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

MAYOR, REAL QUICK BEFORE WE OPEN IT UP TO THE COUNCIL, SEAN DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF GETTING INTO THE DETAILS, BUT FROM A HIGH LEVEL PERSPECTIVE, I JUST WANT TO TALK A MINUTE ABOUT OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER HERE AND HOW WE'VE SORT OF DIVIDED UP THE ROAD IMPROVEMENT COSTS.

THE 25 YEAR OLD DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT SEAN IS REFERENCING COMMITTED THE CITY TO CONSTRUCT ALL OF CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD AND SOME OTHER ROADS WHICH WE HAVE DONE ALL EXCEPT THIS SECTION. THIS IS THE LAST SECTION FROM THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHICH HASN'T BEEN CONSTRUCTED.

AND YOU'LL RECALL RECENTLY, 99TH STREET. THAT'S SORT OF WRAPPING UP CONSTRUCTION NOW, ALSO PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

[01:55:02]

AND THE DEVELOPER HAS BEEN REALLY EXCELLENT TO WORK WITH IN TERMS OF THEY NEED THAT LITTLE PIECE OF CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD SOONER, AND WE DON'T HAVE IT IN OUR CIP AND DESIGN. SO WE SORT OF MADE THE TRADE.

YOU BUILD THAT LITTLE PIECE OF CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD.

WE'LL BUILD THAT LITTLE PIECE OF 91ST STREET UP WHERE WE'RE GETTING THE PARK LAND, AND THAT'S A SORT OF AN EQUAL VALUE SWAP.

AND THEN WE WILL WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT ALL OF 91ST STREET FROM CEDAR NILES OVER TO GREEN IS CONSTRUCTED TOGETHER, BECAUSE THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE WHOLE AREA, NOT JUST WHAT GRATA IS BUILDING, BUT WHAT ALREADY EXISTS ARBOR LAKE AND THE AND THE REST OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SAFE PASSAGE ALL THE WAY ACROSS 91ST STREET.

AND SO WE'LL WORK TOGETHER ON THAT. AND WE DON'T KNOW YET UNTIL WE GET THAT DESIGNED, WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.

BUT IT MIGHT BE WE BUILD IT AND THEY REIMBURSE US.

THEY BUILD IT, WE REIMBURSE THEM. WE'LL FIGURE THAT ALL OUT ONCE WE HAVE MORE FIRM COSTS.

SO THAT'S SORT OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AND TO SEAN'S POINT, IF WE CAN BUILD THE FULL SEGMENT OF CANYON CREEK BOULEVARD AT THE SAME TIME, WE'D LOVE TO DO THAT. BUT IF WE DON'T, IF WE AREN'T ABLE TO FIT THAT ALL INTO THE CIP AND DO THAT ALL AT ONE TIME, THEN IT MAY NEED TO COME A YEAR OR TWO LATER SO THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT CAN ALL FIT IN WITH ALL OF THE OTHER PRIORITIES WE HAVE.

MAKES SENSE TO ME. YOU GUYS GOOD? OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS.

BILL. YEAH. SEAN AND TRAVIS. SEAN, DO YOU EXPECT TRAVIS AND THE DEVELOPMENT TO WORK REAL CLOSE WITH LOGAN AND STORM WATER ON BRINGING THAT LAKE UP TO? YOU KNOW, YOU TALKED ABOUT MOVING THE DAM AND ALL AND DREDGING, BUT BRINGING IT UP TO STORM WATER STANDARDS. SO IT'S GOOD AND HEALTHY.

IS THAT YOUR EXPECTATION, TRAVIS? SO WE PROVIDED AN EXHIBIT FOR KIND OF CONTOURS OF THAT LAKE AS PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

WE ARE NOT OUR DEVELOPMENT IS NOT USING THAT LAKE AS STORM WATER QUALITY.

SO WE'RE GETTING OUR STORMWATER QUALITY ELSEWHERE.

IT'S PART OF WHY WE HAD TO RETAIN SOME OF THE STREAM CORRIDORS, ETC..

SO GETTING IT UP TO GETTING THE DAM CORRECT, FIXING THAT.

I THINK IT WILL FUNCTION AS A STORMWATER QUALITY FEATURE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A STILLING BASIN, ETC..

BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT USING THAT BASIN FOR OUR STORMWATER.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YEAH. DID SEAN ON ONE OF YOUR SLIDES, YOU MENTIONED STORMWATER ON THE LAKE. I DID MENTION THAT IN TERMS OF THE DREDGING.

AND THEY WILL BE DOING SOME OF THAT AND THEY'LL WORK WITH OUR STAFF. OUR STAFF HAS CONTROL OVER ULTIMATELY WHAT IMPROVEMENTS GET MADE TO THAT.

OKAY. GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU TRAVIS. OTHER QUESTIONS.

OKAY. ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 91ST STREET AND CANNING CREEK BOULEVARD DEVELOPMENT WITH GRETTA, LLC. MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY MELANIE. ALL IN FAVOR? THOSE OPPOSED MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU, JOHN.

ANY COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS THIS EVENING? BILL, YOU KNOW, WE HAD PAT THOMAS HERE, AND I

[COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS]

AND THE VERY FIRST AMBASSADOR HEAD WAS KRISTI ISEMAN, WHO WAS THE CVB DIRECTOR AT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. SO IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES IT UNIQUE.

AND MAYBE NEXT YEAR WHEN WE HAVE THE PROCLAMATION SAY THAT IN FRONT OF PAT AND THANK HIM.

AND YOU TOO, CRAIG. NICE JOB. THANK YOU. WE ALSO OWE CRAIG PERHAPS AN EARLY CONGRATULATIONS THAT HE WILL NOT BE HAVING A SWEATY SUMMER LIKE THE REST OF YOU. SO. YES. NO QUESTION. YEAH. YES. YOU WANT HIM AGAIN? YES. WE'LL ASSUME THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH MICKEY MOUSE WRITE INS TO DEFEAT YOU.

[02:00:03]

[STAFF REPORTS]

BUT INSTEAD, AT 6 P.M., WE WILL CELEBRATE THE GRAND OPENING OF LOW TACK AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL THERE.

EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. THIS DOES END THE RECORDED PORTION OF THE MEETING.
