APPROVING A FIVE-YEAR SPECIAL PERMIT FOR A MEDICAL CLINIC, EXPANSION FOR RAW HEALTH COMPANY LOCATED AT 12760 WEST 87 STREET PARKWAY IN THE NPO PLANNED NEIGHBORHOOD OFFICE DISTRICT. STEPHANIE.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

STEPHANIE SULLIVAN WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO TALK TO YOU.

FIRST, THIS EVENING, ABOUT ITEM 12, A SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR RAW HEALTH COMPANY.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 12760 WEST 87TH STREET PARKWAY.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU WILL SEE THE LOCATION MAP OF THE PROPOSED SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN RELATION TO THE CITY OF LENEXA MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY IN BLACK.

NOW, YOU WILL SEE THE VICINITY MAP WITH AN AERIAL IMAGE AND THE SUBJECT SITE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.

THIS IS JUST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF ROSE HILL ROAD AND NORTH OF 87TH STREET PARKWAY.

THIS IS GENERALLY IN A COMMERCIAL AREA WITH RESIDENTIAL BORDERING TO THE NORTH.

THE APPLICANT REQUESTS APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO EXPAND THEIR EXISTING BUSINESS.

YOU MAY RECALL BACK IN 2023 HEARING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THIS BUSINESS.

WE DID GRANT THEM A FIVE-YEAR SPECIAL-USE PERMIT AT THAT TIME.

ALTHOUGH THE FIVE YEARS IS NOT UP, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO EXPAND THEIR OPERATIONS, WHICH TRIGGERS THE NEED FOR A NEW SPECIAL USE PERMIT, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING.

THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSIDERED A MEDICAL CLINIC, AND THE SITE IS ZONED NPO, WHICH IS A NEIGHBORHOOD-LEVEL INTENSITY OFFICE DISTRICT.

YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN, THE SUBJECT SITE, AGAIN, OUTLINED IN RED, WHERE MY MOUSE IS ON THE ZONING MAP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, AND THEN ON OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLANS FUTURE LAND USE MAP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.

BOTH THE ZONING OF NPO AND THE DESIGNATION OF OFFICE AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ALIGN WITH THE PROPOSED USE.

AGAIN, FOR SOME BACKGROUND, THIS IS A MEDICAL CLINIC USE, AND THE APPLICANT CAN SPEAK MORE ABOUT THE USE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THIS ACCOMMODATES THE OPERATION WITH FOUR PROVIDERS.

THE ORIGINAL ONE HAD FOUR PROVIDERS AND AN INTAKE OF NINE PATIENTS, WITH UP TO FOUR BEING SERVED AT ONE TIME AND FIVE IN THE WAITING AREA.

THE BUSINESS IS NOW PROPOSING TO ESSENTIALLY DOUBLE IN SIZE WITH EIGHT PROVIDERS FROM FOUR AND 18 PATIENTS, AND THAT REQUIRES, AGAIN, A NEW SPECIAL-USE PERMIT TO INCREASE THAT INTENSITY.

A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE IS EXPANDING YOUR BUSINESS.

ON THE SCREEN NOW YOU CAN SEE THE FLOOR PLAN, AND WE JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WHILE THEY DID LEASE THIS AREA, THESE FOUR ROOMS YOU SEE IN RED ARE NOW BEING CONVERTED FROM JUST STORAGE TO ACTUAL TREATMENT ROOMS, AND THERE WILL BE SOME INTERIOR ENHANCEMENTS, BUT NOTHING TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING.

YOU CAN SEE NOW ON THE SCREEN A STREET VIEW IMAGE OF THE BUILDING THAT THEY ARE LOCATED WITHIN.

IT IS A MULTI TENANT BUILDING AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, A PICTURE OF A COUPLE OF THE EXISTING TREATMENT ROOMS. YOU CAN PROBABLY EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME IN THOSE OTHER ROOMS. THE PARKING ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THERE IS A REQUIREMENT OF 41 PARKING SPACES BASED ON THE EXPANSION OF THE CLINIC, AND THERE ARE 40 SPACES ON SITE.

IN ADDITION, THERE ARE SOME SHARED PARKING AGREEMENTS WITH THE NEARBY COMMERCIAL AREA, GREYSTONE, SOUTH, SO STAFF BELIEVES THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE PARKING TO SERVE THIS USE.

[00:10:04]

AS ALWAYS WITH SPECIAL USE PERMITS AND REZONING, WE REVIEW THESE 13 CRITERIA, AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE NEARBY ZONING AND USE CRITERIA.

WE DO OUTLINE RESPONSES TO ALL 13 OF THESE CRITERIA IN OUR PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORTS.

SO IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL ON ANY OF THESE, I'D BE HAPPY TO DO SO.

AGAIN, FOR THIS ONE, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE ALREADY APPROVED A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THIS BUSINESS ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO.

IT SEEMS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE VICINITY AS FAR AS THE OTHER TENANTS IN THE BUILDING AND THE NEARBY COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

TO DATE, STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BUSINESS, AND STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE EXPANSION OF THE BUSINESS.

WITH THAT, I'LL NOTE THAT STAFF IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR RAW HEALTH COMPANY FOR A MEDICAL CLINIC AT 12760 WEST 87TH STREET PARKWAY IN SUITE 110.

THIS WOULD ALSO BE FOR A FIVE-YEAR DURATION, LIKE THEIR LAST SPECIAL USE PERMIT.

THIS WOULD RESTART THAT CLOCK FOR FIVE MORE YEARS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS IN THE NPO ZONING DISTRICT.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

>> QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE. DO WE HAVE THE APPLICANT WITH US THIS EVENING?

>> YES.

>> ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?

>> NO, THANK YOU.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? WITH THAT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PASS THE ORDINANCE APPROVING A FIVE-YEAR SPECIAL PERMIT FOR MEDICAL CLINIC EXPANSION FOR RAW HEALTH, LOCATED AT 12760 AT 87TH STREET PARKWAY.

MOTION BY MARK. SECOND BY COURTNEY. ALL IN FAVOR.

>> [OVERLAPPING] AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> ITEM 13 IS A CONSIDERATION OF

[13. Consideration of a rezoning and preliminary plan known as Hedge Lane Residential for a single-family and townhome residential development on property located at 9140 Hedge Lane Terrace a.

Approval of a companion preliminary plan for Hedge Lane Residential development The applicant requests approval to rezone property to allow a singlefamily and townhome development, as well as approval of a companion preliminary plan for the townhome component of the development. The plan includes 18 single-family lots and 68 townhome units across 13.73 acres.]

A REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAN ON AS HEDGE LANE RESIDENTIAL FOR A SINGLE-FAMILY AND TOWN HOME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 9140 HEDGE LANE TERRACE.

ITEM 13 A IS AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE PROPERTY FROM AGRICULTURAL TO RP-1, PLAN RESIDENTIAL AND RP-2 PLAN RESIDENTIAL INTERMEDIATE.

ITEM 13B IS THE APPROVAL OF A COMPANION PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE HEDGE LANE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, STEPHANIE.

>> THANK YOU AGAIN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

STEPHANIE SULLIVAN WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

ITEM 13, AS MENTIONED, IS FOR A PROJECT CALLED HEDGE LANE RESIDENTIAL, AND THEY'RE REQUESTING A REZONING AND PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL THIS EVENING.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 9140 HEDGE LANE TERRACE.

ON THE SCREEN NOW, YOU WILL SEE OUR PROJECT LOCATION MAP IN RELATION TO THE CITY OF LENEXA MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY, WHICH IS OUTLINED IN BLACK.

THE PROJECT IS LOCATED NORTH OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND WEST OF K-7 HIGHWAY.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU WILL SEE A CLOSER VIEW OF AN AERIAL IMAGE OUTLINING THE SUBJECT SITE IN RED.

AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THAT'S JUST WEST OF K-7 HIGHWAY AND NORTH OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS ABOUT AT 91ST IN DUNRAVEN STREET.

THE SITE CURRENTLY HAS ONE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND IS ZONED AGRICULTURAL, WHICH YOU WILL SEE ON THE ZONING MAP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN HERE.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FOR SUBURBAN DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AT THIS LOCATION.

I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ON THIS MAP SOME OF THE SURROUNDING ZONING AND FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS.

YOU'LL SEE TO BOTH THE NORTH AND THE WEST IN THIS YELLOW COLOR HIGHLIGHTED ON THE SCREEN HERE WITH LASER POINTER.

THIS IS ZONED RP1.

THERE IS SOME RP-2 IN THE RESERVE TOWNHOMES DEVELOPMENT.

TO THE SOUTH, WE HAVE SUBURBAN LAWN AND GARDEN, WHICH IS ZONE CP-2, SOME ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL USES ZONE CP-1, AND CP-2 CLOSER TO PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

I ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE, ALSO ZONED AG, LIKE THE SUBJECT SITE IS THE MONTICELLO GOSPEL ASSEMBLY CHURCH.

ACROSS K-7 HIGHWAY, YOU CAN SEE A FEW DIFFERENT DISTRICTS OVER HERE, SOME MORE AG, NPO, WHICH IS AN OFFICE ZONING DISTRICT, AND A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT HIGHER-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND RP-5, RP-4.

THAT'S ALSO WHAT YOU SEE OFF THE SCREEN HERE.

ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THOSE CLASSIFICATIONS, AGAIN, ARE SOME SUBURBAN DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO THE WEST AND TO THE NORTH AND THAT SAME GOLDEN YELLOW COLOR.

THE EXISTING RESERVE TOWN HOMES IN MEDIUM-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

THEN YOU'LL SEE SOME COMMERCIAL DESIGNATIONS TO THE SOUTH OF THE SITE WITH COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.

I WANTED TO SHOW A QUICK AERIAL IMAGE TIME-LAPSE OF WHERE THE SITE HAS GONE THROUGHOUT TIME, JUST IN THE LAST 20 YEARS OR SO.

THIS IS LOOKING ROUGHLY FROM THE LENEXA BORDER HERE, JUST NORTH OF THE RESERVE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY WITH K-7 ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE SITE.

THIS IS WHAT WE LOOKED LIKE IN 2003 IN THIS AREA.

[00:15:03]

IN 2006, YOU CAN START TO SEE THE FRAMEWORK OF THOSE SUBDIVISIONS STARTING TO DEVELOP WITH SOME STREETS.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME CONSTRUCTION AT THIS POINT, BUT NOT PRIMARILY THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMPLETE AT THIS POINT.

IN 2008, YOU CAN SEE SOME MORE PROGRESS, SPECIFICALLY IN THIS AREA HERE OF THE RESERVE WITH THE SINGLE-FAMILY, SMALLER LOT SUBDIVISION.

MOVING ON IN 2014, AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT FILLING IN HERE.

WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT IS FILLED IN FROM THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH TOWARD THE MIDDLE IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT PATTERN CONTINUES IN 2020 AND 2025, WHERE ESSENTIALLY ALL OF THE RESERVE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED, AND REALLY THE ONLY REMAINING UNDEVELOPED LOTS ARE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL AREAS ALONG PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

>> NOW, I'D LIKE TO GO INTO THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST.

THIS IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEIR SITE PLAN AND SOME OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE SITE PLAN AND THE REQUEST.

AS MENTIONED, THIS IS A PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL REQUEST AND A REZONING.

FIRST, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE PLAN.

THE SITE AREA IS 13.73 ACRES.

THE DENSITY IS 6.26 DWELLING UNITS OVERALL WITH A TOTAL OF 86 DWELLING UNITS, AND THAT'S COMPOSED OF AN RP-1 AREA, WITH SINGLE FAMILY AND AN RP-2 AREA WITH TOWN HOMES.

THE RP-1 AREA INCLUDES JUST OVER FIVE ACRES AND 18 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AT A DENSITY OF 3.44 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

RP-2 AREA IS 8.5 ACRES WITH 68 TOWN HOME UNITS.

THOSE ARE WITHIN 13 INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS THAT HAVE 4-6 UNITS EACH, AND THOSE ARE APPROXIMATELY 8.0 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT UP HERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT DENSITY OVERALL.

THIS IS TAKING THOSE CALCULATIONS FROM THE TWO AREAS, COMBINING IT AND DIVIDING IT TO GET THE OVERALL DENSITY.

THIS IS A PRACTICE THAT WE HAVE DONE IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS RECENTLY, WHERE THERE'S BEEN MORE THAN ONE PRODUCT TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL.

I ALSO WANT TO NOTE ON THIS SLIDE THAT WE ARE BORDERED BY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO THE NORTH AND WEST, AS YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDES, K7 HIGHWAY TO THE EAST AND THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL USES TO THE SOUTH.

LASTLY, IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE TALK ABOUT THIS BEING A CONTEXT SENSITIVE INFILL DEVELOPMENT SITE AND THERE'LL BE MORE ON THAT IN MIND PRESENTATION IN A COUPLE OF SLIDES.

NOW I'D LIKE TO ZOOM IN ON THE SITE PLAN AND JUST SHOW YOU MORE ABOUT WHAT THE SITE IS COMPOSED OF.

YOU'LL SEE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SITE IS THE RP-1 AREA AND THIS AREA HERE WITH THE 18 BUILDINGS IS THE SINGLE FAMILY AREA.

IN THE LARGER BROWN BUILDINGS IS THE TOWN HOME AREA.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THIS ONE IS OFF ON ITS OWN BECAUSE THERE IS A UTILITY EASEMENT THAT RUNS ALONG HERE WITH POWER LINES AND A WATER EASEMENT.

THAT AREA HERE IS UNBUILDABLE.

THEY HAVE FEATURED SOME SITE AMENITIES HERE SUCH AS A DOG PARK AND SOME TRAILS, BUT THEY CAN'T ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT IN THAT AREA.

THEY DID PUT ONE BUILDING OVER ON ITS OWN TO THE WEST HERE CLOSER TO DONAVEN.

WITH THE SITE, IT INCLUDES A NEW STREET, 91ST COMING UP THROUGH THE SINGLE FAMILY AREA PRIMARILY.

THIS WILL ALSO CONNECT TO EXISTING MISTLETOE WHICH IS STUBBED HERE, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE AERIAL.

THIS PORTION OF 91ST WILL BECOME A PUBLIC STREET, AND I'VE GOT A SEPARATE EXHIBIT THAT SHOWS STREETS AS WELL.

IT WILL END IN A CUL DE SAC AND THEN THIS STREET ALONG THE EAST WILL BE A PRIVATE STREET THAT LEADS TO THE EXISTING CHURCH, AND THIS STREET BETWEEN THE TOWN HOMES WILL ALSO BE A PRIVATE STREET.

THOSE PRIVATE STREETS WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS NOT BY THE CITY.

I DO WANT TO ALSO NOTE THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAVE THIS NEW PRIVATE STREET IN THIS LOCATION ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE IS BECAUSE THIS PLAN ALSO INCLUDES CLOSING THE CURRENT ACCESS OFF OF K7 WHICH HAS BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED OUT OF THIS PARTICULAR IMAGE, BUT I'LL SHOW YOU IN A COUPLE OF SLIDES WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE CURRENTLY.

THERE'S NO LONGER AN ACCESS OFF OF K7 DIRECTLY.

THE CHURCH WILL BE ACCESSED THROUGH THIS NEW NEIGHBORHOOD.

FOR THE REZONING REQUEST, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO SHOW A VISUAL OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THAT ZONING MAP THAT I PROVIDED A COUPLE SLIDES AGO SHOWING THE PROPERTY ZONE AS AG, AND THE PROPOSED REZONING SHOWS RP-1 ON THE NORTH HALF IN THE BRIGHT YELLOW AND RP-2 ON THE SOUTH HALF IN THE ORANGE COLOR.

THAT ALIGNS WITH THE LOCATION OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND RP-1 AND THE TOWN HOMES IN RP-2.

AS MENTIONED, THERE ARE 13 CRITERIA FOR REVIEW FOR REZONING AND WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE TO HIGHLIGHT A

[00:20:01]

FEW OF THESE IN THIS PRESENTATION THIS EVENING.

AS ALWAYS, STAFF PROVIDED RESPONSES TO EACH OF THESE CRITERIA IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT, AND I'M HAPPY TO GO THROUGH ANY OF THOSE IN FURTHER DETAIL IF YOU WOULD LIKE.

THE ONES WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLIGHT TONIGHT ARE OBVIOUSLY HIGHLIGHTED ON YOUR SCREEN, BUT THEY INCLUDE THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, NEARBY ZONING AND USE, WHICH WE'VE ALREADY COVERED IN SOME DETAIL, THE SUITABILITY FOR THE USE, CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND TRAFFIC IMPACT.

FOR THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THE EXISTING RP-1 AND RP-2 ZONING NEARBY WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS PROPOSED PROJECT IS PROPOSED FOR RP-1 AND RP-2 ZONING AND IS ALSO BEING CONTEXTUALLY SENSITIVE TO THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL TO THE SOUTH WHILE MAINTAINING SINGLE FAMILY AGAINST SINGLE FAMILY TO THE NORTH.

AS MENTIONED AS WELL, THE RESERVE DOES INCLUDE BOTH SINGLE FAMILY AND TOWN HOMES AND THE TOWN HOMES ARE LOCATED IN THIS RP-2 ZONED AREA IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT.

I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING CHURCH AS WELL.

IT'S SANDWICH BETWEEN THE SUBJECT SITE AND SUBURBAN LAWN AND GARDEN HERE.

ALSO ALONG WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE.

WE DID SOME RESEARCH ON SOME OF THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF THE RESERVE DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE CLOSEST TO THE SITE AND WANTED TO PUT SOME INFORMATION ON HERE.

I WILL START UP HERE IN I BELIEVE, WHAT IS THE THIRD PLATE AND THIS AREA IS JUST OVER THREE DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND INCLUDED APPROVALS FOR DEVIATIONS, FROM THE CODE FOR LOT WIDTH AND DEPTH.

THIS WAS BACK IN THE EARLY 2000S.

I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SEVENTH PLATE IN PURPLE AND THE APPROVED DEVIATIONS FOR THIS ONE INCLUDED A FRONT YARD SETBACK, A LOT WITH A SIDE YARD SETBACK DEVIATION.

THIS WAS JUST UNDER EXCUSE ME, THREE DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AT 2.99.

OVER HERE WHERE THE TOWN HOMES WERE CONSTRUCTED IN THE RP-2 DISTRICT, THOSE ARE 6.8 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE AND HERE IN THE FIFTH PLATE IS THE SMALLER LOT SINGLE FAMILY PORTION OF THE RESERVE AND THAT'S 3.85 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THE DEVIATIONS FOR THAT ONE INCLUDED FRONT YARD SETBACK, LOT WIDTH AND SIDE YARD SETBACK, AND YOU'LL SEE THOSE APPROVED DIMENSIONS IN THE PARENTHESES FOR EACH OF THESE.

I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT AT THE TIME THAT STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND COUNCIL APPROVED THE SMALLER LOT SINGLE FAMILY, IT WAS SAID IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT WAS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND FOR SMALL LOTS.

THIS MAY HAVE SET A DEVELOPMENT PRECEDENT FOR OTHER SMALL LOTS YOU SEE IN LINUX.

THIS IS KIND OF WHERE IT STARTED WHEN WE SEE SOME OF THOSE SMALL LOT PROJECTS.

NOW TO OUR SUBJECT SITE, YOU CAN SEE THAT I DIVIDED UP HERE BETWEEN THE R-1 SORRY, THE RP-1 AND RP-2 WITH THE RP-1 HAVING 3.44 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, AND THE RP-2 TOWN HOMES HAVING EIGHT DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

THE OVERALL DENSITY AGAIN IS 6.26 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE WHICH IS ACTUALLY LOWER DENSITY THAN THE TOWN HOMES AT THE RESERVE.

THE DEVIATIONS REQUESTED FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ARE THE FRONT YARD SETBACK, LOT AREA, LOT WIDTH, LOT DEPTH, FREEWAY SETBACK, AND STREET SIDE SETBACK FOR THE TOWN HOMES.

YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THOSE SETBACK REQUESTS ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED FOR THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT IN THE RESERVE.

HERE'S A SNAPSHOT OF THE ENTIRE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND AN INSET SHOWING THE SUBJECT SITE WHICH YOU SEE HERE IN THIS RED HATCH.

TO SPEAK A LITTLE MORE DIRECTLY ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, I WANTED TO REITERATE HERE FIRST, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS FAR AS DENSITY AND UNIT COUNT AND THE REZONING FROM AG TO RP-1 AND RP-2.

NOW I WILL SHOW YOU THIS FUN TABLE THAT PUTS ALL OF THOSE METRICS TOGETHER.

THE SITE IS SUBURBAN DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ON OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP THAT YOU JUST SAW.

IT IS PROPOSED TO BE REZONED TO RP-1 AND RP-2.

THE PRIMARY USES A TALKED ABOUT WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ARE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED AND TOWN HOME.

THE DENSITIES ARE 3.5 AND EIGHT DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

COMING IN AT 6.26 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE OVERALL IS RELATIVELY IN BETWEEN WHAT WE WOULD CLASSIFY SUBURBAN DENSITY AND MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

HOWEVER, WHEN WE TALK MORE ABOUT THIS CONTEXT SENSITIVE INFILL, STAFF REALLY DOES BELIEVE THAT THE PROPOSED PLAN IS CONSISTENT IN AN ALIGNMENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

[00:25:04]

AS FAR AS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED HERE TO BE CONTEXT SENSITIVE AND STILL A VIABLE PROJECT.

THIS IS A SCREENSHOT OF THE ACTUAL PAGE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT TALKS ABOUT CONTEXT SENSITIVE INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

I'M NOT GOING TO READ THE WHOLE PAGE FOR YOU, BUT IT'S THERE IF YOU'D LIKE TO READ IT.

IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE ACTUALLY FOCUSED ON THIS SITE.

THE CONSULTANT ACTUALLY DREW UP THIS VERY SITE FOR THIS DIAGRAM WHICH IS INTERESTING.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE, THERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS ABOUT TRANSITIONING BETWEEN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AND EXISTING COMMERCIAL AREAS.

THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD WITH SINGLE FAMILY.

THEY BASICALLY SAID TO BE CONTEXT SENSITIVE TO THAT.

THIS PRETTY CLOSELY ALIGNS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, HAVING SINGLE FAMILY AGAINST SINGLE FAMILY, AND THEN WORKING THEIR WAY DOWN TO A MORE DENSE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THOSE TOWN HOMES.

YOU CAN SEE HERE.

ANOTHER ELEMENT IS CONNECTIVITY AND ON THE SITE PLAN, YOU SAW THOSE SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS PROVIDED IN THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT THAT MEETS THAT CONNECTIVITY ELEMENT SHOWN ON THIS DEVELOPMENT.

HERE IS THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN SHOWN FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE SUBJECT SITE IS HERE IN THE RED HATCH AGAIN AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME PROPOSED STREETS IN THE VICINITY, SPECIFICALLY 91ST AS IT GOES TO CLEAR.

WE DON'T SHOW ALL OF THE SMALLER LOCAL ROADS ON HERE, BUT THESE ARE THE MAJOR CONNECTIONS.

ANYTHING IN DASH LINES WILL BE FUTURE AND EXISTING COLLECTOR AND ARTERIAL ARE SHOWN IN SOLID LINES.

HERE'S A GRAPHIC HIGHLIGHTING THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL SORRY, HEDGE LANE RESIDENTIAL SITE HERE IN RED, AND WE WANTED TO SHOW ALL OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN GET TO PRESTO PARKWAY AND TO CLEAR TODAY AND ALSO IN THE FUTURE.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY FOUR OUTLETS FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THE FIRST ONE BEING DUN RAVEN AT PRESTO PARKWAY.

THERE'S ALSO A WAY TO GET OVER TO META VIEW DRIVE BETWEEN THE CASS AND SUBURBAN LONDON GARDEN.

THERE'S ANOTHER OUTLET FROM PRESTO PARKWAY THAT YOU CAN GO RIGHT IN HERE AND GO AROUND UP TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU CAN ALSO GET OVER TO GLEASON THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

IN THE FUTURE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE ROUNDABOUT CLOSER TO ST. JAMES.

THERE ALSO IS A PATH THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD HERE OVER TO CLARE ROAD, NUMBER FOUR AND IN THE FUTURE, 91ST STREET WILL BE CONNECTED TO SPOT NUMBER 5 HERE ON CLARE ROAD.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS IN AND OUT OF THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD.

NOW, YOU'LL SEE THE SITE PLAN AGAIN, JUST HIGHLIGHTING THE LOT LAYOUT.

AGAIN, THERE ARE 13 TOWN HOME BUILDINGS WITH 68 TOTAL UNITS.

THOSE BUILDINGS HAVE ANYWHERE FROM 4, 5, AND 6 UNITS PER BUILDING, AND THE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, THERE ARE 18 OF THEM.

AS PROMISED, HERE'S THE GRAPHIC THAT SHOWS THE STREETS A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEARLY.

IN THE PURPLISH PINK COLOR IS THE NEW PUBLIC STREET, AND THAT WILL CONNECT TO BOTH DUN RAVEN AND MISTLETOE AND BE A STREET THAT'S MAINTAINED BY THE CITY.

IT DOES END IN A CUL DE SAC TURNAROUND ON THE EAST SIDE, AND THEN THE PRIVATE DRIVES ARE IN THIS MINT GREEN COLOR, AND WILL BE PRIVATELY MAINTAINED AND PROVIDE ACCESS TO MONTICELLO GOSPEL ASSEMBLY CHURCH.

AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT THIS EXISTING HEDGE LANE TERRACE ACCESS OFF K7 WOULD BE REMOVED AS PART OF THIS PLAN.

I MENTIONED EARLIER A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE REQUESTED DEVIATIONS AND THIS IS JUST A TABLE. BLESS YOU.

THIS IS A TABLE THAT GOES THROUGH THOSE IN MORE DETAIL, SHOWING THE DIFFERENCES AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF WHAT WAS PROPOSED.

THE DEVIATIONS ARE FOR A LOT AREA, LOT WIDTH, LOT DEPTH, FRONT YARD SETBACK, STREET SIDE SETBACK, THAT'S FOR THE TOWN HOMES, AND FREEWAY SETBACK.

I'LL SHOW YOU SOME GRAPHICAL IMAGES OF THOSE HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE REQUESTED DEVIATIONS GIVEN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE SPECIFIC TYPE WANTING TO DO SMALLER LOTS AND WE'VE SEEN SOME OF THOSE LATELY IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT MIX OF HOUSING IN THE COMMUNITY.

FOR THE SETBACK DEVIATION, HERE YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS THE FRONT YARD SETBACK DEVIATION GRAPHIC.

THE SINGLE FAMILY LOTS ARE REQUESTING A TEN FOOT DEVIATION, SO THEY WOULD GO FROM A 30 FOOT REQUIREMENT TO A 20 FOOT REQUIREMENT.

I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT TYPICAL PARKING SPACES ARE ABOUT NINE BY 18 OR SO.

HAVING AT LEAST 20 FEET BETWEEN BASICALLY THE RIGHT OF WAY AND WHERE A SIDEWALK CAN BE AND THE START OF WHERE THE GARAGE DOOR IS,

[00:30:01]

YOU CAN FIT VEHICLES IN THE DRIVEWAY.

THOSE ARE REGULAR PARKING SPOT SIZES.

IT MAINTAINS PARKING BY HAVING AT LEAST 20 FEET FOR THE FRONT YARD SETBACK.

STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THAT REQUESTED DEVIATION.

THEN FOR THE TOWN HOMES OVER HERE, YOU SEE JUST A FIVE FOOT SETBACK DEVIATION REQUEST FOR THE FRONT YARD IN THIS CASE AND THAT WOULD MAINTAIN A 20 FOOT SETBACK FOR THESE BUILDINGS AS WELL.

NOW, FOR THE FREEWAY SETBACK, WE DO HAVE A 100 FOOT SETBACK REQUIREMENT FROM HIGHWAY RIGHTS OF WAY.

AS YOU MAY RECALL FROM OTHER PROJECTS, SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE A LITTLE COMPLEX BECAUSE WE'RE NOT MEASURING FROM THE PAVEMENT OF THE HIGHWAY, WE'RE MEASURING FROM WHERE THEIR PROPERTY LINE IS.

IN THIS CASE, THERE IS THE EXISTING HEDGE LANE ROAD HERE THAT LEADS TO THE CHURCH.

THAT PROPERTY GOES WAY OVER, AND BASICALLY, IN THIS CASE, THEY ARE PROPOSING THAT THE BUILDING WOULD BE ABOUT 86 FEET FROM THAT RIGHT OF WAY WHERE 100 FEET IS REQUIRED.

BUTT THE ROAD, THAT PRIVATE STREET THAT THEY'RE CONSTRUCTING WOULD BE ABOUT FIVE FEET FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY.

THE WAY THAT OUR CODE IS WRITTEN, THAT 100 FEET WOULD INCLUDE THE ROAD.

THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THEY NEED A 95 FOOT DEVIATION BECAUSE THAT ROAD COUNTS AT THAT FIVE FOOT SETBACK.

IN ALL ACTUALITY, THE BUILDING ONLY NEEDS A 14 FOOT DEVIATION, BUT THE ROAD NEEDS A 90 SORRY, 95 FOOT DEVIATION.

STAFF DOES THINK THAT BY CREATING THIS NEW ACCESS POINT TO THE CHURCH, THAT IS A MAJOR WIN BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF OUR AND K DOT'S GOALS TO GET RID OF THESE ACCESS POINTS OFF OF K7 AND MAKE FOR A SAFER ENTRY POINT FOR PROPERTIES NEAR THE HIGHWAY.

STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS DEVIATION.

HERE'S ANOTHER GRAPHIC THAT COMPARES THAT DEVIATION REQUEST TO THE RESERVE TO THE NORTH.

THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ARE ABOUT 80 FEET, SO IT'S A 20 FOOT DEVIATION THERE AND THE EXISTING TOWN HOMES IN THE RESERVE ARE ABOUT 75 FEET FROM THE K7 RIGHT OF WAY.

THAT IS RELATIVELY CONSISTENT THROUGH THIS AREA AND ACTUALLY THESE TOWN HOMES WOULD BE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE K7 RIGHT OF WAY THAN THESE EXISTING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RESERVE.

NOW I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE PRETTY PICTURES.

WE HAVE SOME ELEVATIONS OF THE SINGLE FAMILY BUILDINGS AND THE TOWN HOMES.

YOU'LL SEE HERE THE FRONT ELEVATION OF ONE OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND THEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT ELEVATIONS.

FOR THE TOWN HOME BUILDINGS, I WANTED TO SHOW YOU A FOUR UNIT BUILDING AND A SIX UNIT BUILDING.

YOU CAN SEE THOSE ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THE SINGLE FAMILY PORTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL LOOK LIKE.

>> THIS ALSO INCLUDES A PRELIMINARY PLAT, AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT ON HERE THAT THE CHURCH PROPERTY WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED WHEN PLATTING THIS PROPERTY, SO THAT ACCESS IS MAINTAINED AND PLATTED IN PERPETUITY, SO THEY DON'T HAVE AN OPTION TO POTENTIALLY LOSE THAT ACCESS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS ALL PLATTED, AND LEGALLY, THEY MAINTAIN THE ABILITY TO USE THAT ACCESS POINT.

THEY ARE VERY EXCITED FOR THIS NEW ACCESS POINT.

WE DID HAVE A NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS, AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THESE.

WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THEM IN DEPTH, BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION ON A COUPLE OF THESE POINTS, INCLUDING TRAFFIC, ACCESS, AND TIMING OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.

WE TALKED ABOUT DENSITY AND CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY.

I THINK I'VE COVERED THAT ENOUGH.

I'M HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THAT MORE, IF NEED BE.

ONE OF THE OTHER POINTS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IS THE PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE.

THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY CURRENTLY, AND THERE ARE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS FOR THE PRIVATE PROPERTY.

WHILE IT IS MAINTAINED AS SOMEWHAT OPEN, UNDEVELOPED SPACE, WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT PEOPLE DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO CERTAIN DEVELOPMENTS.

SCHOOL CAPACITY WAS A CONCERN THAT WAS MENTIONED, AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS INVOLVED AND HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THEY WERE INVOLVED DURING THE DRAFTING OF THAT PLAN, AND THEY TEND TO PLAN THEIR SCHOOL CAPACITY BASED ON THE COMMUNITY'S LAND USE MAP AND WHAT'S IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

CRIME WAS ALSO BROUGHT UP, AND THE CONCERN FOR THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN RP-2 ZONING DISTRICTS WAS BROUGHT UP.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT TRAFFIC, AND OUR CITY ENGINEER, TIM GREEN, IS GOING TO GO OVER THE TRAFFIC IN MORE DETAIL.

>> THANKS. TIM GREEN, CITY ENGINEER.

BEFORE I GET STARTED, I'D LIKE TO GIVE JUST A QUICK PRIMER ON LEVEL OF SERVICE.

[00:35:03]

I'M GOING TO BRING THAT TERM UP A FEW TIMES DURING MY SLIDES HERE, BUT LEVEL OF SERVICE IS JUST A WAY TO MEASURE HOW THE ROADWAY SYSTEM IS OPERATING.

IT'S MEASURED ON A LEVEL OF SURFACE A THROUGH F, JUST LIKE SCHOOL GRADES, A BEING THE BEST, F BEING THE WORST.

WHEN WE DESIGN ROADWAYS, WE LOOK FOR FUTURE ULTIMATE GROWTH.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO HAVE, AND WE LOOK FOR A LEVEL OF SERVICE C/D FOR ULTIMATE GROWTH ON A ROADWAY? WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD A ROAD THAT OPERATES ON LEVEL SURFACE A BECAUSE WE'RE WASTING MONEY ON OVERBUILDING, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, IF IT'S LEVEL SURFACE F, IT'S BASICALLY STANDSTILL TRAFFIC, WHICH IS NOT GOOD EITHER.

I'M GOING TO START BY LOOKING AT THE LARGER SYSTEM AND THEN WORKING MY WAY DOWN TO DUNRAVEN.

SOME OF MY NOTES ARE A LITTLE BIGGER PICTURE THAN THE SLIDES HERE, BUT TO START OFF WITH, IS THE K-7 ITSELF.

IT OPERATES AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF SERVICE AS IS.

THE LONG-TERM PLAN FOR K-7 IS TO REMAIN A FOUR-LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY AS IT IS TODAY.

HOWEVER, THE GOAL FROM KDOT IS TO ELIMINATE DRIVEWAYS, ELIMINATE AT-GRADE INTERSECTIONS.

A ROADWAY WITHOUT ANY OF THE INTERSECTIONS CAN CARRY A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

WHEN YOU START STOPPING PEOPLE, SLOWING DOWN FOR DRIVEWAYS, IT REALLY HURTS YOUR CAPACITY.

THOSE ARE THE ULTIMATE GOALS FOR KDOT IS TO MAKE THIS MORE OF A FREEWAY.

JUST BY COINCIDENCE, I ATTENDED THE KDOT LOCAL CONSULT TODAY, WHERE ALL THE CITIES GET TOGETHER AND MEET WITH KDOT AND TALK ABOUT UPCOMING PROJECTS AND WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE.

I THINK WE HAD FIVE CITIES THAT STRETCHED FROM LEAVENWORTH TO SPRING HILL THAT SHOWED UP.

ALL WERE REQUESTING MONEY FOR INTERCHANGES ALONG K-7 BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF CRASHES AND THE SEVERITY OF CRASHES AT THE AT-GRADE INTERSECTION.

I BRING THAT UP AS I GET TOWARD THE END OF MY PRESENTATION ABOUT THAT DRIVEWAY, FOR SAFETY FACTORS, WE'D DEFINITELY LIKE TO SEE THAT BE REMOVED.

UP ON THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE STEPPING BACK NOW INTO THE K-7 AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY INTERCHANGE.

I THINK, AS WE ALL KNOW, THIS INTERCHANGE OPERATES BELOW ACCEPTABLE LEVELS OF SERVICE AT CERTAIN PEAK TIMES.

DURING NORMAL OPERATIONS, NOT PEAK A AND PM, AND I'LL GET INTO THOSE.

IT OPERATES AT A LEVEL OF SERVICE B/C, SO NON-PEAK, 10 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, IT OPERATES FINE.

HOWEVER, YOU GET INTO AMP AND PEAK, AND THAT'S AM IS 7:00 TO 8:30, TYPICALLY PM IS THE 4:30 TO 6:00 PM.

WE'RE REACHING THE MAX OF WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE.

IT'S A LEVEL C/D IN CERTAIN MOVEMENTS.

WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO THE MAX OUT THERE DURING PEAK PERIODS.

THE WORST TIME THAT YOU SEE TRAFFIC OUT THERE IS DURING ST. JAMES DISMISSAL, I THINK THEY DISMISS AT 3:20.

THE PLATOONS OF TRAFFIC GET THERE ABOUT 3:30 TILL 3:50, AND WE OPERATE AT A LEVEL SERVICE E/F DURING THAT TIME.

IT'LL OPERATE WHERE WE GET TRAFFIC BACKED UP TO THE DUNRAVEN ROUNDABOUT, AND AFFECTS THE CAPACITY OF THAT ROUNDABOUT.

WE DEFINITELY NEED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERCHANGE.

YOU MAY RECALL IN 2022, WE PUT TRAFFIC SIGNALS IN, AND IT USED TO BE STOP-CONTROLLED.

OUR GOAL AT THAT TIME WAS TO TRY TO GET FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS OF LIFE OUT OF THIS INTERCHANGE, AS IT IS WITH THE SIGNALS.

WE'VE GOT A FEW YEARS LEFT ON THAT, BUT WE'RE REACHING THAT MAX CAPACITY THAT WE CAN HANDLE THERE.

WHILE WE DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE SET FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERCHANGE, THIS INTERCHANGE WAS INCLUDED IN KDOT'S K-10 CORRIDOR STUDY THAT WAS JUST COMPLETED WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT WAS THEY INCLUDED THIS IN THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT.

IT'S CALLED FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, OR FONSI.

WHAT THEY LOOK AT IS ENVIRONMENTAL, CULTURAL, SOCIAL-ECONOMICS, ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE REQUIRED BEFORE YOU CAN GET A STATE-FUNDED PROJECT MOVING.

KDOT AND US DID GET THAT CLEARANCE, AND THAT'S A BIG HURDLE TO BE ABLE TO JUST GET THE PROJECT MOVING WHEN WE GET FUNDING TO JUST GET RIGHT INTO DESIGN, AND THAT'S ABOUT A YEAR PROCESS THAT WE KNOCKED OFF FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH KDOT.

WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS PROJECT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE K-10 IMPROVEMENTS WHEN THOSE OCCUR.

AGAIN, STILL WORKING WITH KDOT ON WHEN AND IF THAT CAN OCCUR.

MOVING DOWN TO THE WEST, THE PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND DUNRAVEN ROUNDABOUT,

[00:40:01]

THERE ARE ABOUT 1,400 VEHICLES AN HOUR THAT GO THROUGH THAT INTERCHANGE.

THAT'S BASED ON CITY'S COUNTS, SOME OF THE COUNTS THAT WERE DONE AS PART OF THE K-10 STUDY.

THE CAPACITY OF A TWO-LANE ROUNDABOUT IS IN THE VICINITY OF 2,500 TO 3,000 VEHICLES PER HOUR.

WE'RE AT 60% CAPACITY THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION OR THAT ROUNDABOUT.

WE'RE SEEING TRAFFIC IN THERE.

AGAIN, ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES IS THAT WE'RE SEEING TRAFFIC AT TIMES BACK UP FROM THE INTERCHANGE, WHICH AFFECTS IT.

IF WE CAN GET THE INTERCHANGE IMPROVED AND MAKE SOME OTHER TWEAKS TO THIS, WE THINK WE'LL BE FINE WITH THE OPERATION.

PROBABLY ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WITH THAT ROUNDABOUT, PRAIRIE STAR, DUNRAVEN IS THE CRASH HISTORY.

I WOULD SAY A ROUNDABOUT, IT'S ONE OF OUR HIGHER CRASH LOCATIONS OF ROUNDABOUTS.

THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT WE'RE SEEING PROBABLY 75% OF THE CRASHES ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL.

THEY GET IN THE OUTSIDE LANE, AND THE OUTSIDE LANE GOING WESTBOUND IS ONLY TO GO STRAIGHT OR TURN RIGHT.

THEY GET IN THE OUTSIDE LANE, AND THEY WANT TO TURN LEFT, AND SOMEBODY ON THE INSIDE LANE IS GOING STRAIGHT, AND SO WE HAVE THAT CROSSOVER TRAFFIC.

THEY'RE TYPICALLY NOT INJURY ACCIDENTS, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING THERE.

REGARDLESS, IF THIS DEVELOPMENT GETS APPROVED TONIGHT OR NOT, WE'VE GOT PLANS TO MAKE TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH ARE PAVEMENT MARKINGS, TO DO SOME THINGS TO THAT INTERSECT ROUNDABOUT TO HELP OUT.

THEN IN OUR CIP, WE WOULD TAKE THOSE PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND MAKE THEM PERMANENT, AND MAKE THEM CURB AND GUTTER AND THE BRICK AND ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS.

AGAIN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT, WE'VE GOT PLANS TO DO THOSE TEMPORARY MARKINGS.

WE'D LIKE TO TRY TO GET OUT THERE IN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS AND GET THOSE DONE BEFORE THE WEATHER GETS COLD.

MOVING ON TO THE LAST SLIDE, I BELIEVE I HAVE OR CLOSE TO IT.

DUNRAVEN ITSELF, WE'D HEARD A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OR CONCERNS, I SHOULD SAY, ON DUNRAVEN ITSELF.

WE WENT OUT AND TOOK TRAFFIC COUNTS ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15TH, FROM 7:00 AM TO 8:15.

THAT'S THE HEAVIEST USE., THE PM PEAK IS NOT AS BAD BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE COMING HOME, THEY'RE MAKING A RIDE AT THE ROUNDABOUT, SO YOU DON'T SEE THE CONGESTION, BUT COMING SOUTH.

THE TWO-WAY PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC WAS 318 VEHICLES THROUGH THERE, AND THIS WAS COUNTED JUST NORTH OF THE CASEY'S DRIVEWAY ON DUNRAVEN.

CAPACITY FOR A 2-3-LANE COLLECTOR, THIS HAS NO DRIVEWAYS ON IT, IS ABOUT 1,000 TO 1,200 VEHICLES PER HOUR.

IF YOU RUN THE NUMBERS, DUNRAVEN'S OPERATING ABOUT A LEVEL SURFACE B, WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE.

A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS THAT HAVE COME UP WERE THE STREET DESIGN, THAT MAYBE THE RADIUSES WERE TOO TIGHT.

IF YOU GO BACK THROUGH ALL THE STANDARDS, THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, 333 FEET, OUR RADIUSES OUT THERE ARE IN EXCESS OF 400 FEET ON ANY PORTION OF DUNRAVEN.

THERE'S ALSO A CONCERN WITH SIGHT DISTANCE.

WE LOOKED AT SIGHT DISTANCE, MINIMUM REQUIRED IS 335 FEET.

THIS IS AT THE 91ST STREET INTERSECTION WITH DUNRAVEN, AND ALSO THE PROPOSED ACCESS POINT, AND WE HAVE IN EXCESS OF 425 FEET.

SIGHT DISTANCE IS FINE AND MEETS CRITERIA ON BOTH OF THOSE.

THE LAST THING I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BEFORE ON ELIMINATION OF THE DRIVEWAY.

I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN PART OF THE K-7 CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN SINCE IT STARTED IN LATE 2004 OR EARLY 2005.

FROM DAY 1, THE COMMITTEE'S GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO ELIMINATE DRIVEWAYS AND AT-GRADE INTERSECTIONS.

THEY'RE JUST DANGEROUS.

WE'VE HAD FIVE FATALITIES IN SHAWNEE AND LENEXA ALONG K-7 IN THE LAST SIX YEARS.

ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO REDUCE THOSE ACCESS POINTS, I THINK, IS VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE CITY AND TO THE DRIVERS.

WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO STEPHANIE.

>> I'LL HIGHLIGHT THIS SLIDE OF TIM'S REALLY QUICKLY HERE TOO.

ONE OF THE THINGS FROM THAT KDOT K-7 CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN ACTUALLY CALLED OUT THIS VERY LOCATION,

[00:45:04]

AS YOU CAN SEE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE TEXT BELOW THAT WAS SCREENSHOTTED.

AGAIN, THIS IS AN AERIAL IMAGE OF THAT EXISTING HEDGE LANE TERRACE ACCESS THAT WOULD BE REMOVED AS PART OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT.

KDOT, AGAIN, ONE OF THEIR GOALS IS TO REMOVE THAT.

JUST TO SUMMARIZE THE REQUEST ONE LAST TIME, HERE'S THE SITE PLAN ON THE SCREEN, AND THE REQUEST IS REZONING FROM ARG TO RP-1 AND RP-2, AND A PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL FOR THE SINGLE-FAMILY AND TOWN-HOME RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

HERE ARE THE STATS FOR THE SITE AREA AND DENSITY, AND UNIT COUNTS FOR THE PROJECT.

I'LL REITERATE ONE MORE TIME, THE CONTEXT OF WHAT'S CURRENTLY AROUND IT IS SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, K-7 HIGHWAY, AND COMMERCIAL, AND THIS IS A CONTEXT-SENSITIVE INFILL DEVELOPMENT SITE FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

STAFF AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST, BOTH THE REZONING AND THE PRELIMINARY PLAN, AND THE DEVIATIONS REQUESTED WITHIN THE PLAN.

STAFF DOES WANT TO NOTE THAT THE CITIZENS COMPLETED A VALID PROTEST PETITION, AND A SUPER MAJORITY VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE PROJECT.

YOU'LL SEE ON THE SCREEN HERE A VISUAL OF DOTS PLACED ON THE PROPERTIES OF EVERYONE THAT SIGNED THE PETITION.

WHERE IT'S COLORED IN RED ON THOSE DOTS IS THE AREA OF THAT PROPERTY THAT COUNTED TOWARD THE PETITION.

YOU WILL SEE SOME PARTIAL RED AREAS AND SOME FULL RED AREAS BASED ON WHAT'S WITHIN THIS YELLOW 200-FOOT BUFFER OF THE PROPERTY.

WITH THAT, SINCE THAT PROTEST PETITION WAS SUBMITTED AND IT IS VALID, THE GOVERNING BODY MAY APPROVE WITH SEVEN VOTES BEING REQUIRED, DENY WITH SIX VOTES BEING REQUIRED, OR RETURN TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH A SPECIFIC DIRECTION FOR WHAT SHOULD BE MODIFIED ON THE PLAN WITH A VOTE OF FIVE.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM, BUT I KNOW THE APPLICANT ALSO HAS A PRESENTATION FOR YOU THIS EVENING.

>> WE'LL START WITH QUESTIONS FOR STAFF BEFORE WE GET TO THE APPLICANT. NEED A MINUTE, GO AHEAD.

>> STEPHANIE, THANKS FOR THIS PRESENTATION, IT'S PRETTY INFORMATIVE.

HOW OFTEN DO WE HAVE SIXPLEX TOWNHOMES IN DEVELOPMENTS? I SEE THAT THE RESERVE TOWNHOMES UP NORTH, THERE WAS A COUPLE OF TWO OR THREE-BUILDING, THERE WERE FIVE.

HOW OFTEN DO WE HAVE SIX?

>> I DON'T HAVE A METRIC FOR YOU ON THAT SPECIFICALLY, BUT WE DO HAVE SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS IN LENEXA WITH ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO SIX UNITS.

>> OF TOWNHOMES.

>> THANK YOU.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE, MELANIE?

>> I'M CURIOUS ABOUT ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BY RESIDENTS IN THE AREA ABOUT SCHOOL ENROLLMENT.

YOU TOUCHED ON IT A LITTLE BIT.

DID WE COMMUNICATE WITH THE SCHOOLS IN THE AREA TO ASK THEM IF THEIR ENROLLMENT IS AT CAPACITY IF THAT IS A STRUGGLE, IF THESE DEVELOPMENTS WOULD IMPACT OR HURT THEM IN ANY WAY?

>> WE DID NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE SCHOOL ON THIS SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT.

LIKE I MENTIONED, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND I BELIEVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT USES OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS A TOOL TO HELP PROJECT THEIR ENROLLMENT AND THEIR SCHOOL NEEDS.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS? BILL?

>> THANK YOU, STEPHANIE. TIM, YOU MIGHT ANSWER THIS.

BECKY, YOU MIGHT ANSWER THIS, TOO.

WE GOT CLEARANCE FROM KDOT FOR THE 95TH STREET BRIDGE.

ARE THERE WAYS WE CAN MOVE THAT UP THEIR PRIORITY LIST? I IMAGINE WE COULD WRITE A CHECK, BUT ARE THERE THINGS WE COULD MOVE THE IMPROVEMENT OF 95TH STREET BRIDGE?

>> WE CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THEM ABOUT OUR DESIRES RELATIVE TO THIS.

THIS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE OVERALL K10 IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, I THINK THE TOTAL COST FOR THOSE IMPROVEMENTS EXCEEDS $1 BILLION AND WILL HAVE TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN PHASES.

THEY HAVEN'T LAID OUT WHAT THE PHASING PLAN FOR THAT IS.

IF WE BROUGHT MONEY TO THE TABLE, I'M CERTAIN THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH US ABOUT MOVING THAT INTO AN EARLIER TIMING PERSPECTIVE.

[00:50:05]

BUT BEYOND THAT, THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN ANY INDICATION WHAT THE TIMING WILL BE FOR ANY OF THE K10 IMPROVEMENTS AND SPECIFICALLY NOT THIS PART OF THEM.

>> THANK YOU. ALSO, TIM MENTIONED NEW MARKINGS ON THE ROUNDABOUT.

IT SURPRISES ME THAT IT'S THE ONE GOING WEST, BECAUSE, MAN, WHEN YOU'RE COMING EAST, YOU LOSE A LANE.

>> CORRECT.

>> YOU GOT TO GO INTO THE HOSPITAL.

>> OR TURN RIGHT ONLY, BUT NO, I WOULD SAY 75% ARE THE CROSSOVER GOING WESTBOUND INTO SOMEBODY GOING THROUGH.

>> YEAH, I WOULD HAVE GUESSED EAST, BUT THAT'S EVEN MORE SHOCKING, IF YOU WILL.

THEN YOU SAID, WE'LL MAKE THAT PERMANENT.

BUT WHAT OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE LISTED IN THE CIP FOR WHAT 28? WHAT OTHER IMPROVEMENTS DO THAT ROUNDABOUT ARE WE ANTICIPATING?

>> THE BIGGEST THING IS TO TRY TO CREATE ONE LANE THAT'S GOING SOUTHBOUND SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TWO CARS TO TRY TO MAKE THE TURN THAT THEY'RE HAPPENING NOW.

THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN IT IS TO MAKE THAT ISLAND MORE OF AN EGG SHAPE INSTEAD AROUND.

THEY'RE JUST MORE OBLONG IN THE CENTER THAN THEY ARE AROUND, AND IT JUST HELPS DIRECT PEOPLE INTO A LANE VERSUS PEOPLE GOING TWO LANES AND NOT FOLLOWING THE SIGNS OR THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS.

>> IT'S NOT JUST MARKINGS.

WE'LL HAVE PHYSICAL ROUNDABOUT.

>> IT'LL BE JUST MARKINGS FOR THE INTERIM UNTIL WE GET THE CIP PROJECT, AND THEN IT WILL BE ACTUALLY PHYSICAL CURBS AND THE LANDSCAPING, THE BRICKS, THOSE SORT OF THINGS.

>> DOES IT SURPRISE YOU THAT 91ST STREET HASN'T GONE THROUGH YET? THAT'S BEEN STUBBED FOR A LONG TIME.

>> I DON'T KNOW THAT IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.

ONCE YOU GET WEST OF CLARE, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC RIGHT NOW.

PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE THE ROADS UNIMPROVED, BUT I THINK THAT PORTIONS REALLY BEEN DEVELOPMENT DRIVEN, AND WE JUST HAVEN'T SEEN THE DEVELOPMENT.

AS YOU KNOW, THE CITY OWNS BASICALLY THE NORTH HALF OF THAT, AND I THINK WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF RFPS OUT TO TRY TO GET INTEREST IN DEVELOPING IT.

THAT SECTION'S REALLY DEVELOPMENT DRIVEN.

I THINK WE WOULD GET SOME USE IF WE HAD IT IN RIGHT NOW, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS DEVELOPMENT TO ONE HELP PAY FOR IT.

>> I THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN A LOT QUICKER THAN IT HASN'T.

>> I KIND ASSUMED IT WOULD DEVELOP THROUGH THERE, BUT IT HASN'T.

>> I MIGHT HAVE MORE.

>> WE'LL START DOWN HERE, COURTNEY.

>> JOHN PUT OUT A LOVELY QUESTIONNAIRE TO THE STAFF, AND SO THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL, THE 12 PAGES OF QUESTIONS.

I DON'T HAVE TOO MANY FOR YOU TONIGHT.

I WOULD LIKE TO CHAT WITH THE APPLICANT ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT MAY COME UP IN A MINUTE.

BUT WHAT I DO HAVE IN THE MEANTIME IS SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS AND THE FEEDBACK FROM THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE WE DON'T LIVE THERE, LIKE, DRIVING THAT EVERY DAY, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY LIVE EVERY DAY.

THERE WAS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT SOME PEOPLE, IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, THE TRAFFIC BACK SWELL ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO 91ST STREET IN THE MORNINGS THAT THEY LITERALLY CAN'T, LIKE IT BACKS ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO WHERE THIS ENTRANCE WOULD BE FOR WHERE IT'S AT.

THAT WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD. SECONDLY, ON THE OFF PEAK TIMES, WE HAVE A SPEEDING PROBLEM THROUGH THERE.

IS THERE A WAY TO DO SOME TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ON DUNRAVEN WHERE WE PUT IN A MEDIAN OR WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO HELP SLOW THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT AROUND THE CURVE, BECAUSE THE CONCERN IS THAT WHEN WE ADD THIS EXTRA ACCESS TO AT THE CURVE THAT YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE COMING AROUND, THE SITE DISTANCE IS ADEQUATE, BUT IS IT SO ADEQUATE THAT YOU HAVE REALLY GOOD SIGHTLINES AND PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF IT.

>> YES. THE SITE VISITS IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE.

>> PERFECT. IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO SLOW THE TRAFFIC DOWN WHILE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF CONSTRUCTING ALL OF THESE THINGS,

[00:55:02]

LIKE IN THOSE POINTS?

>> THAT'S A TOUGH QUESTION.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO.

I THINK ENFORCEMENT IS THE BEST POLICY ON THIS.

REMEMBER, DUNRAVEN IS A COLLECTOR.

ITS PURPOSE IS TO MOVE TRAFFIC.

IT'S NOT A LOCAL STREET WHERE RESIDENTS FACE IT.

RESIDENTS BACK UP TO IT.

THERE'S NO DRIVEWAYS ON IT.

IT'S MEANT TO MOVE TRAFFIC.

WE TYPICALLY DON'T LIKE TO SEE TRAFFIC CONTROL OR TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ON COLLECTORS OR ARTERIALS JUST BECAUSE IT'S MEANT TO MOVE TRAFFIC.

AGAIN, THE SPEEDING IS REALLY, I THINK, MORE OF AN ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.

>> [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU.

>> MARK.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. TIM, SINCE YOU'RE UP HERE, I WANTED TO CLARIFY THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND THE EGG.

IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE REPRESENTING ONE OF THE ONES ON RENNER?

>> YES. WE HAVEN'T [INAUDIBLE]

>> I WAS CONCERNED, IS THAT NESTLING IT DOWN TO ONE LANE?

>> IT DOES.

>> THEN YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE ON DUNRAVEN CRUISING DOWN TO TRY AND GO AROUND THE ROUNDABOUT.

THERE'S NOW DOWN TO ONE LANE TO GET TRY AND GET OVER TO K7.

>> I WOULD TELL YOU WATCHING THIS ROUNDABOUT FOR MANY, MANY HOURS AND DAYS OVER THE YEARS, IT DOESN'T GET DRIVEN RIGHT.

IF IT'S DRIVEN THE WAY IT SHOULD ON DUNRAVEN, IT SHOULD FUNCTION AS A ONE LANE.

WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT NOW IS YOU GET CARS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS DUNRAVEN.

>> ONE MORE SLIDE UP 47.

HERE, THIS IS THE CURRENT.

>> THAT'S THE CURRENT.

>> THEN WITH THE STRIKING, IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THAT.

>> YEAH. WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW, DUNRAVEN'S UP TO THE NORTH.

WHAT YOU SEE IS PEOPLE GET IN THIS.

IF YOU'RE GOING SOUTHBOUND TO EASTBOUND, YOU SHOULD BE IN THE INNER LANE TO GO AROUND.

THE OUTSIDE LANE IS TO GO STRAIGHT THROUGH.

WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE GETTING IN THIS OUTSIDE LANE, COMING AROUND, THE WHOLE ROUNDABOUT, AND COMING THIS WAY, WHICH IS NOT LEGAL.

YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN FROM THE INSIDE LANE.

THE OUTSIDE LANE IS TO TURN RIGHT OR GO STRAIGHT.

IT WOULD FUNCTION MORE YOU'VE GOT TO TURN THIS 190 DEGREES.

THIS IS NOT THE INTERSECTION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THIS IS A 86, I BELIEVE, IS THAT THE OUTSIDE LANE HERE IS A TRUE RIGHT TURN LANE.

YOU GET ON THE INSIDE LANE TO MAKE THIS AROUND HERE BUT WHAT IT DOES HELP IS THAT IT EXTENDS THIS TRAFFIC OUT AND YOU TRY TO KEEP THESE PEOPLE FROM THINKING I'M THAT THERE'S TWO LANES TO GO AROUND.

WE'VE SEEN THIS WORK IN CITY CENTER MUCH BETTER.

ROUNDABOUTS, EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS, DO THEY CHANGE.

THESE WERE BUILT IN THE EARLY 2000S AND JUST THE DESIGN OF ROUNDABOUTS CHANGES, AND THIS IS MORE OF THE NEW CONCEPT OF WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE BUILDING TODAY.

>> CHRIS?

>> I GUESS I'VE BEEN BREAKING THE LAW TOO MUCH.

>> WE'LL START DOWN THERE. CHRIS?

>> QUESTION FOR STEPHANIE. GO BACK TO THE SLIDE WHERE YOU WERE LISTING OUT CONCERNS THAT WERE LISTED.

>> SURE.

>> THAT LAST CONCERN FOR THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN RP-2 ZONING DISTRICT, ENLIGHTEN ME. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

>> THAT WAS A COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING AT PLANNING COMMISSION.

>>THEY JUST SAID WE'RE CONCERNED? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WE DON'T LIKE THE WAY THEY LOOK, WE DON'T LIKE THE MONEY THEY HAVE, WHAT IS IT?

>> COUNCIL MEMBER, I THINK YOU'D HAVE TO ASK THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH A DIRECT QUOTE FROM WHAT WAS TESTIMONY AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.

>> IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT WE DO NOT GIVE THESE KIND OF COMMENTS ANY WEIGHT IN OUR CONSIDERATION OF PROJECTS, SCOTT?

>> YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE 13 CRITERIA.

WE LOOK AT WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE IMPACTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT CAN COME FROM ALL HUMAN BEINGS, FRANKLY, AND ALL TYPES OF LIVING CONDITIONS.

WE DON'T GIVE THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC MUCH WEIGHT WHEN WE'RE ANALYZING HOUSING REZONING PROJECTS, NO.

>> IF I MAY, I'LL ADD TO THAT.

YOU WANTED TO KNOW SOME THINGS THAT WEIGH IN.

ONE THING THAT DOES NOT WEIGH IN AND STAFF'S REVIEW IS WHETHER IT IS FOR SALE OR FOR RENT PRODUCT.

WE REVIEW MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY DUPLEX,

[01:00:01]

ALL THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES, REALLY REGARDLESS OF WHAT TYPE OF OWNERSHIP THEY HAVE.

YOU'LL SEE, LIKE IN OUR STAFF REPORTS, WE DON'T USUALLY BRING UP WHETHER IT IS A RENTAL PRODUCT OR FOR SALE PRODUCT, AND OUR DETERMINATIONS ARE NOT ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO LIVE IN IT.

IT'S ABOUT THE FORM AND THE SITE PLAN AND WHETHER IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA, AND THE REVIEW OF THOSE 13 REZONING CRITERIA.

>> THANK YOU.

>> GREG?

>> I'M NOT SURE I'VE GOT QUESTIONS BECAUSE I DO APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE QUESTIONS THAT MY COLLEAGUE, JOHN, ASKED EARLIER AND REVIEWED THOSE THIS AFTERNOON, AND I THOUGHT THAT ANSWERED MOST OF MY QUESTIONS.

WE HAVE A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS AG RIGHT NOW AND IT ALIGNS WITH K7, WHICH I THINK WILL ONLY BECOME A BUSIER HIGHWAY OVER TIME.

I THINK WE HAVE AN INTEREST IN NOT PUTTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES UP AGAINST HIGHWAYS.

I THINK THIS PARTICULAR, WHAT DO WE CALL IT, CONTEXT SENSITIVE SITE.

I DO THINK THE DEVELOPER HAS LISTENED TO THAT SENSITIVITY AND BROUGHT A PRODUCT AT LEAST AS A PLANNING COMMISSION TO US THAT SATISFIES THOSE CONCERNS.

AT THIS POINT, I'M LEANING TOWARD SUPPORT.

I DO KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, 20 YEARS ON A SCHOOL BOARD THAT LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE SENSITIVE TO DEVELOPMENT, AND THEY OFTEN WILL COMMISSION DEMOGRAPHIC STUDIES TO DETERMINE WHAT THE POTENTIAL STUDENT POPULATION MAY BE IN UNDEVELOPED AREAS.

I DON'T HAVE ANY DIRECT KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS DONE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE DISTRICT I WAS PART OF WAS SENSITIVE TO GROWTH.

I THINK WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE ON ON THAT SCORE.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU.

>> CHELSEA?

>> ACTUALLY, MY QUESTIONS ARE FOR TIM. YOU WANT TO COME BACK UP.

I JUST HAVE SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THE ROUNDABOUT AND YOUR PLANNED TEMPORARY MARKINGS.

COULD YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT IN MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHAT KIND OF MARKINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE COMING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

>> CORRECT.

>> THAT YOU HAD ALREADY PLANNED ON DOING THAT REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS EVENING'S VOTE ON THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT.

BUT SHOW ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING TO DO AT THE CURRENT ROUNDABOUT.

>> WE WOULD STRIKE AROUND HERE.

I THINK WE'LL ADD SOME ADDITIONAL PAVEMENT MARKINGS OR MAKE SURE ALL THE PAVEMENT MARKINGS THAT ARE IN THE ROUNDABOUT NOW AND IN ADVANCE ARE CLEAR. THEY'RE OUT THERE.

I KNOW THEY DON'T LAST VERY LONG.

BUT THE BIGGEST IS TO REDUCE THIS DOWN TO TRY TO KEEP PEOPLE IN THE PROPER LANES.

>> IS THE INTENT ACTUALLY TO BRING IT DOWN TO MORE OF A SINGLE LANE?

>> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> BEFORE WE CAN ACTUALLY GET TO THE CIP, WHERE WE ARE GOING TO DO A MORE PERMANENT OVAL CONSTRUCTION.

>> CORRECT.

>> I SEE.

>> I HEAR THE MUMBLINGS. I WOULD TELL YOU THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THESE INTERSECTIONS, THE MAJORITY OF TRAFFIC IS EAST-WEST OUT HERE.

THE NORTH-SOUTH TRAFFIC IS NOT GREAT.

I ACTUALLY SAT OUT HERE MANY DAYS AND WATCHED IT.

THE MAJORITY OF TRAFFIC IS EAST-WEST.

THE TURNS HERE, THEY ARE NUMBER OF THEM, BUT THE MAJORITY OF TRAFFIC, OUR KIDS GOING TO SCHOOL IN THE AM, AND PEOPLE COME INTO THE INTERCHANGE FROM OUT WEST IN THE PM OR IN THE AM, AND IT'S THAT EAST-WEST MOVEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE TWO LANES.

THE NORTH-SOUTH MOVEMENT DOES NOT NEED TO BE.

>> I PRESUME YOU WERE MEANING TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE OTHER, THE DON RAVEN ONE?

>> YES, CORRECT.

>> I SEE THAT NOW.

[01:05:03]

THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

I WAS JUST CONFUSED.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF, JOHN.

>> ONLY A FEW, BECAUSE I DID PUT STAFF THROUGH THE RINGER, AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THOSE.

I THINK, FIRST, TIM, THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH AN EXPLANATION OF LEVELS OF SERVICE, BECAUSE I'M THE WRONG RECOVERING CIVIL ENGINEER TO REALLY KNOW A WHOLE LOT ABOUT IT.

REALLY, I THINK SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE OUTSTANDING THAT WERE ADDRESSED, BUT I WANT TO HAVE ON RECORD IS, ARE THERE SITUATIONS WHERE WE'VE ACCEPTED A DEVIATION FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE DENSITY BECAUSE IT IS AN INFILL SITE?

>> WITH THAT REGARD, I WILL SAY, I MENTIONED IT IN THE PRESENTATION, BUT WE HAVE HAD OTHER SITES THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT.

ONE IN PARTICULAR, I CAN THINK OF, IS NORTH OF WATER CREST LANDING.

IF YOU RECALL, I BELIEVE YOU WERE ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT THE TIME, WE LOOKED AT THAT ONE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

WITH THAT SITE, WE DID LOOK AT A MULTI-FAMILY, AND I BELIEVE ENDED UP BEING A DUPLEX PRODUCT ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

WE LOOKED AT THAT COMPREHENSIVELY AS AN OVERALL DENSITY BETWEEN THOSE TWO DEVELOPMENTS, AND IT DIDN'T NECESSARILY ALIGN WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE THAT WAS DESIGNATED IN BOTH INSTANCES, BECAUSE THOSE WOULD BE TWO DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS.

AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE PROJECT AS A LARGER PICTURE AND USING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS A GUIDE IS KEY. IT IS A GUIDE.

IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE HARD AND FAST.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE THE LINE IS DRAWN.

THAT'S ALSO WHY WE LOOK AT IT EVERY YEAR.

I KNOW THIS GROUP JUST SAW OUR PRESENTATION AT THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING LAST WEEK OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO REVIEW THAT ANNUALLY AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS RELEVANT AND ALIGNS WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHAT WE'RE SEEING, AND WHAT WE'RE APPROVING AS WELL AS IT'S CONTINUING TO STILL SERVE AS A GOOD GUIDE FOR DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS.

>> THANK YOU. CAN YOU BACK US UP TO THE DEVIATION SLIDES?

>> SURE.

>> I HAD ONE QUESTION ABOUT IT, AND I'M SURE I WAS JUST READING IT WRONG.

>> DID YOU LIKE THE TABLE?

>> CAN WE DO THE ONE THAT SHOWED ACTUALLY THE OTHER AREAS OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS?

>> SURE.

>> I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FEW, MAYBE.

>> THIS ONE?

>> YES. THOSE WERE THE APPROVED DEVIATIONS, NOT THE FINAL SETBACKS?

>> THIS WOULD BE IN PARENTHESES.

THAT'S WHAT THE DIMENSION WAS APPROVED.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? HERE YOU SEE IN THE PURPLE FRONT YARD SETBACK 25 FEET.

IT'S NOT A 25-FOOT DEVIATION, OR ELSE THEY'D HAVE ABOUT A FIVE-FOOT SETBACK.

TWENTY-FIVE FEET WAS THE APPROVED DIMENSION.

>> THAT HELPS ME A LOT. THAT'S HELPFUL. THANK YOU.

I GUESS, MAYBE ONE OF THE LAST QUESTIONS BEFORE HANDING IT OVER AND LETTING THE APPLICANT GO FOR IT IS, HAS KDOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEAVING THAT ACCESS OPEN FOR EMERGENCY INGRESS, EGRESS, CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC, ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

>> NO. JUST WHOLLY GONE.

THEY WANT IT GONE.

I THINK ESPECIALLY CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC, I DON'T THINK YOU WANT READY MIXED TRUCKS, DUMP TRUCKS PULLING OUT ONTO A 60, 65-MILE-PER-HOUR ROAD.

NO, KDOT'S PREFERRED, ALONG WITH OURS, WOULD BE TO ELIMINATE THAT DRIVE.

>> THANK YOU. CHELSEA.

>> STEPHANIE, JUST FOR THE RECORD AND FOR EVERYONE HERE PRESENT, COULD YOU HELP DEFINE WHAT A CONTEXT-SENSITIVE INFILL LOCATION IS, SINCE I DON'T THINK THAT THAT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY DESCRIBED OR DEFINED?

>> LET ME DE-JARGON THAT ONE FOR YOU.

LET ME PULL THIS UP HERE.

LIKE I MENTIONED, THIS IS AN ACTUAL SCREENSHOT OF A PAGE WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT TALKS ABOUT WHAT A CONTEXT-SENSITIVE INFILL DEVELOPMENT IS.

I WON'T READ IT FOR YOU, BUT THE SUMMARY IS BASICALLY AN INFILL SITE IS A SITE THAT'S LEFTOVER AND IT HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED WITH THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE.

IN THIS CASE, WE HAVE A LARGE SINGLE-FAMILY LOT WITH AN EXISTING HOME ON IT, AND THAT PERSON'S LOOKING TO SELL TO A DEVELOPER SO THEY CAN REDEVELOP, AND OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLS FOR A MORE DENSE DEVELOPMENT THAN THE ONE HOUSE THAT IS THERE TODAY.

THAT BECOMES AN INFILL SITE.

IT'S FILLING IN A GAP.

IF YOU REMEMBER LOOKING THROUGH THE AERIAL IMAGES WHERE I SHOWED YOU THE PROGRESSION THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND HOW EVERYTHING IS FILLED INTO THE MIDDLE, THAT WAS INFILLING INCREMENTALLY THROUGH THERE AS WELL.

[01:10:01]

THIS IS THE LONE WOLF SITE LEFT IN THE RESERVE AREA HERE, SITUATED BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AREA AND THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.

THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY OUR CONSULTANT CHOSE THIS SPECIFIC SITE FOR THIS EXHIBIT IN THE COMP PLAN IS BECAUSE IT HAS THAT JUXTAPOSITION BETWEEN SINGLE-FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL.

IT'S A RELATIVELY SMALL SITE WITH SOME DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES WITH UTILITY LINES, WITH HEDGE LANE TERRACE NEEDING TO BE CLOSED, AND A NEW ACCESS INCORPORATED, AND THE OVERALL DIMENSIONS OF THE SITE AND HAVING TO FIT IN LOTS AND STREETS AND ALL THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

IT'S A VERY LONG, NARROW SITE.

IT'S DIMENSIONALLY CHALLENGED, IF YOU WILL, IN SOME WAYS, FOR WHAT THE DENSITY IS THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IN FOR THIS SITE.

THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT AN INFILL SITE.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?

>> IT DOES. IT WAS VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANKS.

>> MOLLY.

>> STEPHANIE, YOU HAVE TO LET ME KNOW WHO IS THE BEST PERSON TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT CONSTRUCTION WOULD LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THAT CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC LIKE, DUMP TRUCKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE AND HOW WOULD IT POTENTIALLY IMPACT NEIGHBORS IN THE AREA IN TERMS OF DRIVING?

>> SURE. WELL, AS TIM MENTIONED, CONSTRUCTION WOULD NOT BE COMING OFF OF K-7 AND HEDGE LANE, WHERE THAT AREA CURRENTLY EXISTS, SO THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC WOULD BE COMING OFF OF DON RAVEN TO GET TO THE SITE.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER, THIS SUBDIVISION DEVELOPED IN SEVEN PHASES, AND EACH PHASE CONTAINED A AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD INCLUDE, SO IT'S THE TYPE OF THING THAT HAPPENS ANYTIME A NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPS, AND THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC FOR THE LAST PHASE OF THE RESERVE SUBDIVISION.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT ATTIC CONTEXT.

THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.

I JUST KNOW THAT THAT WAS A CONCERN THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BY A RESIDENT THAT THEY WERE JUST CONCERNED HOW IT WAS GOING TO IMPACT THEIR COMMUTE OR THEIR ACCESSIBILITY TO THE ROAD, AND SUCH.

BUT THAT CONTEXT IS HOPEFUL. THANK YOU.

>> WE'RE GOING TO MOVE NEXT TO APPLICANT.

IS ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING FOR STAFF?

>> STEPHANIE, YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES THE COMBINED RP1, BUT AM I CORRECT THAT EVEN INDIVIDUALLY, THE RP1 HITS THAT 3.5 PER ACRE, AND THE RP2 HITS THE EIGHT, AND AREN'T THOSE OUR LIMITS ANYWAY?

>> YOU'LL SEE ON THIS TABLE HERE, RP1 IS 3.5 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, AND THIS IS 3.44.

IT DOES MEET THAT ONE.

IN RP2, IT MEETS THE EIGHT DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE MAXIMUM FOR [OVERLAPPING]

>> THE COMBINED, I WASN'T A FAN OF, IT WASN'T WITH SONIA.

IT WAS MONTICELLO, WHERE WE TRIED TO PUT THEM TOGETHER, AND THAT I'M NOT A FAN OF THAT, SO YOU, I THINK, DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO DO THAT HERE.

PLUS, FINALLY, I WANT TO THANK CHRIS FOR CALLING OUT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE COMMENT.

THANK YOU, CHRIS. IT'S NOT WHAT WE DO. THANK YOU.

>> STEPHANIE, MAYBE STAY CLOSE.

WE MIGHT HAVE MORE OR LATER.

THE APPLICANT HAS A PRESENTATION.

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS NICO [INAUDIBLE].

I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT AT 29 STREET CAPITAL.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND FOR THE THOUGHTFUL REVIEW FROM THE STAFF.

I'M GOING TO TRY TO EDIT DOWN MY PRESENTATION BECAUSE I THINK ALMOST ALL OF IT IS COVERED, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE REDUNDANT.

THE SITE AT HEDGE LANE IS 84-UNIT PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY.

AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, IT'S RIGHT OFF OF K-7, AND ZONING WAS COVERED.

AGAIN, I WON'T BORE EVERYBODY AGAIN, BUT THE HIGHLIGHT IS THAT IT'S A CONTEXT-SENSITIVE INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

OVER THE LAST 10 MONTHS,

[01:15:03]

WE'VE SPENT CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME BACK AND FORTH WITH THE STAFF TO REALLY DEVELOP THIS SITE AND BRING A LOT OF AWARENESS TO THE SURROUNDING AREA AND HOW WE CAN INTEGRATE THIS SITE INTO THE EXISTING COMMUNITY.

AS IT WAS MENTIONED, THE PROJECT HAS SOME CHALLENGING CONSTRAINTS, MAINLY WITH THE MULTIPLE ZONINGS ON EITHER SIDE, WITH THE HIGH-SPEED HIGHWAY ON ONE SIDE AND, REALLY, THE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION LINES THAT CUT THROUGH THE LINE, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER UTILITY EASEMENTS, THAT MAKE IT CHALLENGING.

AS YOU'VE SEEN, THE SITE PLAN SHOWS IT'S DESIGNED TO FIT THE AREA.

IT RESPECTS THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND SOLVES LONG-STANDING INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS. WE'VE PLAYED WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN HERE OR COULD BE DEVELOPED HERE.

THE ACCESS WAS PRE-PLANNED.

THE REMOVAL OF HEDGE LANE IS A LONG-TERM PLAN FOR THE CITY AND KDOT.

ONCE YOU TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THOSE, THIS IS WHERE WE WERE LEFT OFF.

AGAIN, PUBLIC STREET THAT WILL BE FLANKING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SITE 91ST STREET AND CONNECTING TO MISTLETOE, AND HAVING RP1 ZONING GOING TO SURROUND THAT PUBLIC STREET, WITH THE RP2 ZONING, BEING THE REST OF THE SITE.

I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THIS SLIDE, WHICH I THINK REALLY TALKS ABOUT COMMUNITY CONNECTION, AND WE ARE REMOVING THE FENCES AROUND THIS SITE AND OPENING IT UP TO THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY WITH PUBLIC STREETS AND OPEN SPACES.

WE'VE DESIGNED AND EXTENDED THOSE PUBLIC TRAILS THAT GO THROUGH THE SITE AND CONNECT TO ONE ANOTHER, CONNECTS TO THE MONTICELLO GOSPEL ASSEMBLY AS WELL.

WE'VE PROVIDED NEW AMENITIES TO THE COMMUNITY WITH DOG PARKS AND OUTDOOR LAWNS AND PAVILIONS.

THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE 18 SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON THE NORTH AND 66 TOWNHOMES ON THE SOUTH.

THEY ARE ALL THREE AND FOUR-BEDROOMS LARGE UNITS.

WE ARE LOOKING TO APPEAL TO A DEMOGRAPHIC OF YOUNG FAMILIES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR EITHER AHEAD OF THEIR STARTER HOME, HAVE A PLACE TO RENT AS THEY'RE SAVING UP FOR A DEPOSIT OR A DOWN PAYMENT FOR PURCHASING A HOME OR THERE'S A NEW COHORT OF PEOPLE THAT JUST WANT A MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFESTYLE AND DO NOT REALLY WANT TO OWN, BUT THEY DO NEED THE SPACE.

THEY WANT THE THREE AND FOUR-BEDROOMS. THEY WANT TO NOT LIVE IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING.

THEY WANT TO HAVE THEIR OWN SPACE, TWO-CAR GARAGE, DRIVEWAY, BACKYARD, SO I THINK THIS COMMUNITY OR THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL SATISFY THOSE NEEDS.

THIS IS NOT A HIGH-DENSITY PROJECT.

IT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD-SCALE, COMMUNITY-SENSITIVE TO ITS SURROUNDINGS.

IT WILL BE PRIVATELY MAINTAINED AND PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED LONG-TERM BY OUR IN-HOUSE PROPERTY TEAM.

IT BRINGS HIGH-QUALITY HOUSING OPTIONS FOR RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO LIVE IN LENEXA, INCLUDING YOUNG FAMILIES, AREA EMPLOYEES, AND OTHERS WHO WANT A MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFESTYLE, WITHOUT LEAVING THE AREA.

WE BELIEVE THIS PLAN FITS THE SITE, ENHANCES THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND SUPPORTS THE LONG-TERM VISION OF THE CITY OF LENEXA.

WE APPRECIATE THE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM PLANNING COMMISSION, AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU APPROVE THIS EVENING. THANK YOU.

>> QUESTIONS HERE? COURTNEY.

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS. HOW BIG ARE THESE HOUSES? ARE THEY THREE OR ARE THEY FOUR BEDROOM?

>> THREE AND FOUR.

>> THREE AND FOUR, SO THE HOUSES WILL BE DIFFERENT SIZES.

>> YEAH. THERE WILL BE TWO DIFFERENT SIZES, YES, CORRECT.

>> SO THE TOWN HOUSES OR THE SINGLE FAMILY?

>> BOTH. SO BOTH SINGLE FAMILY WILL HAVE A THREE-BEDROOM AND A FOUR-BEDROOM OPTION, AND THE TOWN HOMES WILL HAVE A THREE-BEDROOM AND A FOUR-BEDROOM OPTION.

>> MY QUESTION IS WHY, I THINK WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS THE PARKING.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHY WE'RE DOING THE PRIVATE DRIVE ON ONE SIDE,

[01:20:04]

WHERE IT'S MOST HIGH DENSITY VERSUS THE PUBLIC STREET ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.

IS THERE A REASON WHY WE DIDN'T PUT A PUBLIC STREET IN BETWEEN THE HIGHEST DENSITY PART OF THAT? MAYBE THAT WAS A QUESTION FOR STEPHANIE.

>> WE'VE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH STAFF ON THIS.

I THINK WE HAD BOTH OPTIONS.

THE DESIRE WAS TO KEEP THE SINGLE FAMILY LOOK ON THE PUBLIC FRONTAGE.

THE PUBLIC STREET WAS TO CONNECT THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD, DUNRAVEN TO MISTLETOE AND HAVE A SIMILAR TYPE OF HOUSING ALONG TO PUBLIC STREET, WHEREAS A PRIVATE DRIVE IS COMMONLY USED FOR DENSER DEVELOPMENTS LIKE TOWN HOMES.

>> HOW MUCH EXTRA PARKING, I SAW MAYBE ON YOUR ELEVATION OR HERE LIKE THIS LITTLE PARKING, SO THERE'S EIGHT OR 10 EXTRA SPACES THERE.

>> EACH HOME HAS A TWO CAR PARKING GARAGE AND TWO SPACES IN THE DRIVEWAY.

TECHNICALLY, FOUR CARS CAN BE PARKED OFF STREET FOR BOTH SINGLE FAMILY AND TOWN HOME STYLE.

THEN WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL PERPENDICULAR SPOTS ON THE PRIVATE DRIVE THAT ARE SITUATED IN THE MORE COMMUNITY AMENITY SPACES.

I BELIEVE WE ARE SHOWING 15 SPOTS RIGHT NOW.

I CAN VERIFY, BUT THOSE ARE MAYBE FOR OVERFLOW, BUT MAINLY FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S COMING TO USE THE OPEN LAWN OR THE COMMUNITY SPACE.

>> HOW MUCH SPACE WOULD THERE BE FOR OFF STREET PARKING ON THAT PRIVATE DRIVE? [INAUDIBLE] BUILDINGS ARE SIX OR FIVE OR FOUR.

YOU HAVE THE DRIVEWAYS ALL LINED UP, HOW MUCH OFF STREET PARKING? AS A PARENT OF TEENAGERS, WE HAVE SIX CARS.

WHEN I LIVE IN A FOUR-BEDROOM HOUSE WITH OUR SIX CARS, WHERE WOULD THEY GO IF I LIVED IN THIS FOUR-BEDROOM HOUSE? I GUESS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO MITIGATE WHERE EVERYBODY WOULD GO, SO THAT WE JUST DON'T HAVE THIS CRAMPED STREET.

>> I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN.

I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, AGAIN, WE HAVE THE DRIVEWAYS IN THE GARAGES.

THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE DRIVEWAYS IS NOT AMPLE FOR STREET PARKING.

THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE WE DON'T HAVE DRIVEWAYS THAT COULD BE STREET PARKING, PLUS THE SPOTS THAT WE'VE PROVIDED ADJACENT TO THAT PRIVATE DRIVE.

>> WAS THERE A REASON WHY WE DID THE PRIVATE DRIVE OVER MAKING THEM BOTH PUBLIC STREETS?

>> WELL, I THINK TWO PARTS.

ONE, IS THE CONSTRAINT, AS STEPHANIE HAS MENTIONED OF THE WIDTH [OVERLAPPING]

>> SO IT DOESN'T MEET OUR STANDARDS?

>> IT WOULDN'T MEET THE STANDARD, BUT IT ALSO IS VERY COMMON FOR A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT TO HAVE PRIVATE SO WE CAN MAINTAIN IT AND WE TAKE CARE OF THE STREETS FOR THE RESIDENTS.

>> I THINK MY CONCERN HERE IS A COUPLE OF THINGS.

WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT LARGER CAPACITY WHICH I LOVE, BY THE WAY.

I LOVE THAT MIDDLE HOUSING OPTION.

WE DON'T HAVE THREE AND FOUR-BEDROOM OPTIONS IN OUR CITY THAT ARE RENTALS THAT PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN.

I'VE LIVED IN THIS MARKET BEFORE, AND THERE'S NOT A LOT AVAILABLE.

MY CONCERN IS THE PARKING.

MY CONCERN IS SOMETIMES, I THINK, HAVING ONE PUBLIC STREET IN IT AND A PRIVATE DRIVE ALSO IN IT.

SOMETIMES WE'RE REALLY EXCEPTIONAL AT OUR CITY SERVICES, AND I'M CONCERNED THAT ONE SIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS ARE GOING TO BE FANTASTIC, AND WE'RE LEAVING THE PRIVATE DRIVE UP TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE COMPANY THAT'S RUNNING IT, AND THERE MAY NOT BE ON THE SAME TIMELINE AS HOW WE TAKE CARE OF OUR THINGS.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? AS FAR AS SNOW SHOVELING, AND SOMETIMES IT'S FASTER AND BETTER BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY THINGS YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.

BUT I GUESS I'M TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T END UP IN A SITUATION WHERE IF WE'RE REDOING ONE STREET, THEY'LL GO WHY DIDN'T OUR STREET GET DONE, OR IT'S MITIGATING SOME OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT DOESN'T FEEL IT'S A PARKING LOT OR THAT IT FEELS IT'S WITHIN THAT SPACE WHERE MOST TOWNHOUSES DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN PRIVATE STREETS THAT ARE FRONT FACING.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE BACK ALLEYS OR THOSE THINGS.

THIS IS WHERE MY CONCERN COMES IN IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF CARS ON THE STREET.

THEN WE'RE ALSO THEN GOING TO HAVE A SHORTER SPACE ON THE ROAD, AND THEN WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE SNOW SHOVELING AND THE WHATEVERS. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

>> IT DOES. AGAIN, FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE WILL MAINTAIN AND MANAGE THIS COMMUNITY, AND IT'S IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO UPKEEP.

[01:25:02]

THE ENTIRE AREA WILL BE LANDSCAPED, GRASS WILL BE CUT.

ALL THE SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDED BY US IN ORDER TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE AND PAY THE RENT THAT WE ARE GOING TO ASK FOR.

>> WHAT ARE YOU ASKING?

>> WE ARE LOOKING AT ABOUT 3,000 FOR A MONTH.

>> FOR THE HOUSES OR THE TOWN OR BOTH?

>> BOTH. YEAH. ON AVERAGE.

>> [OVERLAPPING] QUESTION IN THERE THAT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

EVEN THOUGH IT IS PRIVATELY MANAGED, THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET CITY CODE FOR ACCESS FOR EMERGENCIES, NOT LETTING THEIR PAVEMENT COMPLETELY DETERIORATE, AND WE STILL WILL HAVE OVERSIGHT ON BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.

>> CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT.

>> THANK YOU. DOES THAT HELP?

>> POTENTIALLY. NOW I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT HAPPENS. [LAUGHTER]

>> I KNOW, I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU AROUND.

>> I UNDERSTAND. SO 3,000 FOR [OVERLAPPING].

>> COUNCIL MEMBER YOU'LL PULL YOUR MIC DOWN FOR US.

>> I PULLED IT DOWN, AND THEN I PULLED IT UP.

[LAUGHTER] APOLOGIZE.

THREE THOUSAND AROUND RENT FOR EITHER ONE OF THOSE, IS WHAT YOU.

>> ON AVERAGE.

>> SURE. I MEAN, THAT'S ABOUT WHAT HOUSES RENT FOR THAT SIZE, WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE?

>> SQUARE FOOTAGE WOULD BE 1,800-2,200.

>> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TAKING DOWN THE FENCES, AND OPENING UP, SO THIS DOG PARK HERE, IS THAT OPEN TO THE REST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY?

>> YES. THE INTENTION IS FOR THIS TO BE A COMMUNITY DOG PARK.

>> JUST CHECK IN. YOU'RE WELCOME, SUSAN.

[LAUGHTER].

>> NO.

>> GOT IT. PERFECT. LET ME SEE HERE.

I'M GOING TO LET EVERYBODY ELSE TALK, AND I'M GOING TO PONDER A MINUTE.

>> DID YOU WANT SIR.

>> JOHN?

>> AWESOME, APPRECIATE THE OVERVIEW.

I WILL ECHO A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT COUNCILWOMAN IDRIS SAID IN TERMS OF NEEDING 3-4 BEDROOM RENTAL PROPERTIES.

IT'S NOT JUST FOR FOLKS NECESSARILY WHO CAN'T AFFORD A HOME RIGHT NOW.

IT'S ALSO FOR FOLKS WHO THEY'RE NEW TO THE AREA.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT CITY THEY WANT TO BUY A HOME IN.

I COULD BE FOR FOLKS WHO ARE EITHER BETWEEN HOMES, BETWEEN APARTMENTS, WHATEVER THAT IS.

IT DOES FILL A NEED, I HAVE A COUPLE OF OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS, I GUESS FIRSTLY, YOU'RE REFERENCING HOW THIS WILL BE MANAGED BY YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

YOU MANAGE OTHER COMMUNITIES.

CAN YOU TELL US HOW MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES YOU MANAGE THE TOTAL COUNT AND WHERE THE MANAGEMENT TEAM SITS PHYSICALLY?

>> WE ARE A NATIONAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT ACQUISITION FIRM.

WE HAVE PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.

I BELIEVE WE ARE IN THE 15,000 UNIT RANGE RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE ALWAYS IN THE MIX OF ACQUIRING NEW SO AROUND THAT MANY UNITS.

WE HAVE THREE PROPERTIES IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA.

THE CLOSEST ONE IS THE PROPERTY, I JUST WANT TO LOOK THAT UP, I'M SORRY, GREENWOOD RESERVE IN OLATHE IS ONE THAT WE OWN THAT'S LOCAL.

IT'S A 15-MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE SITE.

BUT AGAIN, WE ARE NATIONWIDE FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN.

>> THANK YOU. I'M STILL HUNG UP ON, I THINK THE SAME THING THAT BILL IS, WHICH IS, I ACTUALLY AM FINE WITH THE CONCEPT OF A GRADIENT OF DENSITY OR INTENSITY OF USE.

BUT HOW DID THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM LAND ON THIS LEVEL OF DENSITY AVERAGED ACROSS THE SITE?

>> IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND TO DEVELOP A SITE THIS LARGE, THERE CODE A UNIT COUNT AND FEASIBILITY FOR DEVELOPMENT TO ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE.

WE'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF THIS WHERE THE CURRENT DENSITY IS AT THE THRESHOLD OF MAKING A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT IN TERMS OF IT BEING A VIABLE PROJECT FOR US.

THAT'S REALLY DUE TO WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT

[01:30:02]

A SITE SO LARGE AND THE NECESSARY PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, IT GETS DIVIDED BY ONLY SO MANY RENTAL UNITS.

I THINK THAT WHEREAS IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SMALLER SITE OR FOR SALE PRODUCT, YOU CAN DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR LESSER DENSE.

>> I STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT, BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S USEFUL IN TERMS OF QUESTIONS, SO I'LL PROBABLY PASS OFF TO WHOEVER'S NEXT.

>> YOUR COLLEAGUE HAD SOMETHING TO ADD IN BETWEEN QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU. MARK BREWER WITH SCHLEGEL 1492 OST 107TH IN LEXA.

JUST ADD SOME ADDITIONAL CLARITY ON THE SELECTION FOR THE PRIVATE STREET IN FRONT OF THE TOWN HOMES.

IF THAT WERE TO BE PUBLIC, WE WOULD HAVE ALL THE DESIGN RESTRICTIONS OF A PUBLIC STREET, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE A WIDER RIGHT AWAY.

WE COULDN'T DO THAT HEAD IN PARKING, AND WE COULDN'T PUT THE JOHNSON COUNTY WASTEWATER AND WATERONE UTILITIES UNDER THAT PAVEMENT.

JUST MOVES EVERYTHING BACK.

WE START TO LOSE SEVERAL UNITS, BASICALLY A ROW OF THOSE TOWN HOUSES IF THAT'S A PUBLIC STREET.

THAT WAS THE BALANCE ON GETTING THE DENSITY REQUIRED FOR THE SITE AND GETTING PUBLIC STREET ACCESS WHERE WE NEEDED IT AROUND THE SITE.

I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT CLARIFICATION.

>> THANK YOU. ARE THERE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? CHELSEA?

>> ACTUALLY, YOU SEGUE VERY NICELY INTO WHAT MY QUESTION IS GOING TO BE, WHICH WAS WATER ACCESS.

I THOUGHT I READ SOMEWHERE IN THE PACKET THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS PROVIDING THE CHURCH'S ACCESS TO CITY WATER FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1976, IS THAT ACCURATE?

>> THAT'S CORRECT. YES.

>> TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING THE WATER, I KNOW WHERE THE OVERHEAD LINES ARE AS FAR AS THAT, I MEAN, HOW ARE YOU RUNNING THE WATER LINE THROUGH?

>> DO YOU WANT TO?

>> AGAIN, MARK BREWER WITH SCHLEGEL.

GENERALLY, THE WATER MAIN WILL BE A WATERONE, WATER MAIN THAT WILL FOLLOW THE STREET NETWORK.

I WILL BE A LOOP THROUGH THE ENTIRE SITE AND THEN A PUBLIC MAIN EXTENDED TO THE CHURCH'S PROPERTY LINE AND PROVIDE THEM A SPOT TO TAP FOR A SERVICE CONNECTION.

BEFORE, I THINK, I DON'T PUT WORDS IN THEIR MOUTH, BUT I THINK THEY HAVE TO HAUL THEIR WATER THERE CURRENTLY.

>> THAT WAS SOME OF THE TESTIMONY, I BELIEVE I READ THROUGH AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AS THEY WERE CARRYING WATER IN.

>> YEAH. THE MAIN RIGHT NOW IS ALONG DUNRAVEN.

>> SINCE 1976?

>> YEAH.

>> THANK YOU.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT?

>> MARK?

>> IS NIKOLA?

>> NIKOLA. YEAH.

>> THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

YOU MENTIONED THE GREENWOOD RESERVE APARTMENTS, IS THAT THE ONE OVER A COLLEGE BOULEVARD IN PLUM?

>> I BELIEVE SO, YES.

> IS THAT A PURCHASE OR DID YOU ORIGINALLY DEVELOP THAT?

>> NO. THAT WAS A PURCHASE. WE OWNED IT SINCE 2022.

>> MY OTHER QUESTION.

OBVIOUSLY, I THINK, I AGREE WITH JOHN THE CONTEXTUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMERCIAL STUFF TO THE SOUTH.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE MORE DENSE TOWN HOMES THERE.

THE SINGLE FAMILY TO THE NORTH.

I'M JUST PERPLEXED OR BUGGED ABOUT THE TWO TOWN HOMES THAT FLANK ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE OTHER SINGLE FAMILY.

THAT'S FOR SOME REASON THAT JUST, I DON'T KNOW, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT BUGS ME ABOUT THAT.

OBVIOUSLY, YOUR STANCE IS IS PROBABLY ABOUT THE UNIT COUNT AND MAKING THIS SUCCESSFUL?

>> CORRECT. YEAH.

>> IS THERE ANY THOUGHTS TO MAKING THOSE SINGLE FAMILIES AND INCREASING THE SINGLE FAMILY AND REDUCING.

YOU DID SAY A LITTLE EARLIER THAT THERE WERE 84 VERSUS I THINK STEPHANIE SAID 86 EARLIER, IS THE NUMBER 86 OR 84 DO YOU RECALL?

>> I THINK AT THE MOMENT WE WERE AT 84.

>> AT 84. JUST WE REMOVED A COUPLE OF UNITS AT THE END OF THE MIDDLE STRETCH, ACTUALLY.

WE HAVE MORE AREA AROUND THE DETENTION.

>> I SEE AREA.

>> TO FURTHER, I GUESS, ELABORATE ON THE TOWN HOMES ON THE PUBLIC STREET.

THOSE ARE AGAIN, WE TRY TO KEEP THE STYLE AND THE TYPE OF HOME FOR THE PEOPLE DRIVING THROUGH THE AREA, CONNECTING TO THE NORTH COMMUNITY, THE SAME SIMILAR TYPE.

THOSE TWO SETS OR THOSE TWO BUILDINGS THAT ARE, I THINK, 11 TOWN HOMES ALTOGETHER, ARE OFF OF THAT PATH.

THEY ARE TUCKED AWAY CLOSER TO THE CUL-DE-SAC. IF I PULL THIS OUT HERE.

[01:35:03]

THEY ARE PAST THE INTERSECTION AT MISTLETOE.

AGAIN, IT DOES JUST THE WAY THE DENSITY WORKS ON THE SITE AND THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE SITE.

WE WOULD LOVE TO PUT THEM ON ALONG THE SOUTH, BUT THERE'S JUST NO PLACE TO PUT THEM DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION LINES.

I THINK THE OLATHE WATER MAIN RUNS THROUGH THIS SITE AS WELL, WHICH GIVES US SOME CONSTRAINTS ALONG THE SOUTH END.

>> I WAS JUST TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER OPTIONS OF RELOCATING THE DETENTION, ACROSS FROM THOSE AND FLANKING THE OTHERS IN AN L-SHAPED FASHION OR SOMETHING.

I'M SURE YOU'VE PROBABLY LOOKED AT SOME OF THOSE, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT BUGS ME ABOUT THE SINGLE FAMILY ACROSS FROM THE TOWN HOMES. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

>> FINAL QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

WE ARE GOING TO ALLOW PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS TONIGHT.

I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ARE HERE ON THIS ITEM.

BEFORE WE DO THAT, I DO WANT TO SAY THAT WE ARE PROCESS WHEN WE GET A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT FROM NEIGHBORS, WHEN YOU EMAIL ALL OF US, WHETHER IT BE ME DIRECTLY, COUNCIL MEMBERS, ALL OF THOSE EMAILS ARE COLLECTED AND DISTRIBUTED TO OUR PUBLIC RECORD ON A CERTAIN ITEM.

ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE RECEIVED ALL OF YOUR EMAILS ABOUT NOON TODAY, PLUS A COUPLE OF VOICEMAILS OF PEOPLE CALLED IN.

ALL OF THOSE WERE DISTRIBUTED TO THE ENTIRE COUNCIL FOR REVIEW.

THEY HAVE SEEN ALL OF YOUR EMAILS AND ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS.

COUNCIL MEMBER HANLEY ALSO HAD A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THAT HE SUBMITTED IN ADVANCE YESTERDAY, AND ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED IN ADVANCE FOR COUNCIL AND DISTRIBUTED TO COUNCIL MEMBERS TODAY.

WE'VE SEEN OBVIOUSLY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION PACKET, THE STAFF PACKET ON THIS, ALL OF YOUR EMAILS, RECEIVED YOUR VOICEMAILS.

WE STILL WOULD BE HAPPY TO HEAR ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE, BUT JUST KNOW THAT WE HAVE ALL OF THAT INFORMATION.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM, WE WILL HAVE YOU DOWN TO THIS FIRST PODIUM.

WE DO LIMIT COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES PER PERSON.

WE WOULD HAVE YOU LINE UP OVER HERE, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED, WE'LL HAVE YOU MOVE OVER TO THIS PODIUM AND SIGN IN WITH YOUR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SO WE CAN KEEP TRACK OF THAT.

WITH THAT, WE'LL OPEN PUBLIC COMMENTS.

>> MAYOR, BEFORE ANYONE STARTS, I'LL JUST POINT OUT THAT WE ARE USING A TIMER FOR THIS.

YOU CAN SEE THE TIMER OVER THERE, SO YOU CAN SEE YOUR TIME COUNTING DOWN AS YOU'RE SPEAKING.

>> IT DOES BEEP AT THE END.

SORRY FOR THAT. GO AHEAD.

>> MY NAME IS SUSAN MCCURDY, AND I LIVE AT 89 39 MEADOWVIEW DRIVE, AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE ALL SEEN OUR COMMENTS, CONCERNS.

THE ONLY THING I WANT TO EXPRESS TO YOU, I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE THING CAME THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT OF THE QUALITY OF PEOPLE.

WE HAVE A VERY MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITY IN THE RESERVES.

EVERY POSSIBLE MAJOR NATION IN THE WORLD IS AROUND US, AND WE EMBRACE THEM.

I DON'T REMEMBER AND I READ THROUGH THE PACKET.

DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING BEING SAID THAT WE WERE CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT THAT.

OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE THE CONSTRUCTION THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING IN RIGHT THERE WHERE EVERYBODY IS COMING IN AND OUT ON THAT CONNECTOR STREET, TRYING TO FEED IT OUT.

I HOPE THE CITY TRAFFIC AREA MAY CONCEDE THAT I E MAILED THEM SIX, EIGHT WEEKS AGO.

BRETT RESPONDED TO ME ABOUT THE CONCERNS OF WHAT CAN WE DO WITH THIS ROUNDABOUT? I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD BE THEN STARTING TO MAKE.

WE AS A COMMUNITY HAVE TRIED OTHER OPTIONS TO GET A RESOLUTION.

I DID TALK TO SUBURBAN.

SUBURBAN, WANTED TO BUY THAT LAND AT ONE POINT.

CONTRARY TO WHAT I HAD HEARD EARLIER, DON'T REMEMBER WHERE HEARSAY.

THEY WERE INTERESTED IN BUYING THAT PROPERTY TO EXPAND IN THEIR BUSINESS.

THE LAND IS LANDLOCKED RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN OPPORTUNITIES.

WE AS A COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE LESS DENSITY THAT'S COMING INTO OUR COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IN THAT CONNECTOR ROAD THERE. THAT'S ALL.

>> THANK YOU. PLEASE SIGN IN ON THIS SIDE.

>> HI THERE.

>> HI. MY NAME IS LIS TICKLE, AND I LIVE AT 23720 WEST 92ND TERRACE.

[01:40:06]

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC, AS WE'VE ALL BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC.

I THINK SOME OF THE REASONS, ESPECIALLY AFTER THIS EVENING THAT I'M MORE CONCERNED IS I CAME TO A MEETING ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG 87TH STREET.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO LONG OVERDUE.

AT SOME POINT, K DODD IS GOING TO ADDRESS THE BRIDGE OVER K7.

WE'RE GOING TO ADD 200 PEOPLE MINIMUM IN FOUR BEDROOM HOMES, AND THE ONLY WAY OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I GOT SIX WAYS.

THEY ALL LEAD TO THE SAME PLACE.

THEY ALL LEAD TO 95TH STREET.

SURE, I AIN'T GO OUT DUN RAVEN, I AIN'T GO OUT GLEASON.

I CAN GO DOWN AND GO TO CLAIRE AND COME OUT ON 95TH STREET, PRAIRIE STAR.

WHEN YOU CLOSE 87TH, I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE OPTION OF GOING DOWN, AND I KNOW YOU'RE NOT CLOSING IT, BUT BELIEVE ME, WHEN YOU HAVE THAT CONSTRUCTION, YOU'RE CLOSING IT.

WE WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO SNEAK AROUND BY GOING DOWN 87TH, SHOOTING DOWN CLARE.

ALL OF THOSE ROUTES IN AND OUT ARE DRIVING TRAFFIC THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT I JUST I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND NOT HAVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT IT.

THE BRIDGE OVER K7 HAS BEEN LACKING SINCE WE MOVED OUT THERE IN 2018.

THERE HAVE BEEN TRAFFIC LIGHTS INSTALLED.

THERE'S BEEN A TURN LANE FOR NORTH AND SOUTH, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF SPACE.

WHEN THAT THING GETS REWORKED, HOW THE HECK ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET ANYWHERE? THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> MY NAME IS CONNIE CROSS.

I LIVE AT 23602 WEST 92ND STREET.

THE COMMENT I THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WE DON'T WANT THERE.

WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT WHERE THEY LIVE.

WE ALL CARE ABOUT WHERE WE LIVE.

NOW, THERE'S THE TOWN HOME AT THE RESERVE, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US THAT LIVE IN THE RESERVE.

WE ALL ARE A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, THE TOWN HOMES.

THEY DO NOT CARE.

POLICE ARE CALLED CONSTANTLY, TRASH, ALL THAT.

NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE PRICE OF THIS RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE COMPARABLE TO THAT.

BUT THAT WAS MY CONCERN IS THAT MY HOUSE IS RIGHT THERE.

I'M RIGHT ON DEN RAVEN.

IF YOU ONLY HAVE 15 PLACES TO PARK, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE PARKING ON MY STREET BECAUSE I LIVE AT THE END OF A CUL DE SAC THAT HAS NO HOUSES ON THE END.

NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE UNWANTED PEOPLE PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, WHICH I FELT SAFE UNTIL A STRANGE CARS START PARKING THERE.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE RESIDENTS WON'T BE ABLE TO PARK AT THEIR HOUSE, BUT IS THERE GOING TO BE DRIVEWAYS SIDEWALKS, AND TECHNICALLY, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BLOCK A SIDEWALK WITH THE CAR, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO THERE.

ALSO, I WAS TOLD THAT YOU GUYS APPROVED APARTMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING IN OVER BY SMILEY'S.

THAT'S GOING TO INCREASE TRAFFIC ON THAT BRIDGE, WHETHER YOU THINK IT WILL OR NOT.

IT WILL DEFINITELY.

LASTLY, I JUST SPOKE WITH MY COUSIN, WHO'S IN CHARGE OF THE K10 PROJECT, SAID, UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT TO GIVE MONEY TO IT, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL 2030 AT THE EARLIEST BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL IN THAT NEGOTIATION PHASE WITH THE STATE OF KANSAS.

K10 IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL 2030, SO THE BRIDGE UNLESS THEY CAN GET MIRACULOUSLY GET SOME MONEY, IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL THAT TIME. THANK YOU.

>> ANY COMMENTS?

>> HI, MY NAME IS AMY ESTER AND I LIVE AT 23214 WEST 90TH TERRACE.

MY MOM LIVES ON THE CORNER OF MISTLETOE.

WE HAVE AN HOA THAT DOES NOT ALLOW ANY PARKING ON THE STREET.

IF YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S GORGEOUS.

THERE'S NO CARS ANYWHERE ON THE STREETS.

IN FACT, THEY DON'T EVEN REALLY LIKE CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY.

ON MY WHOLE STREET, THERE ARE ONLY TWO CARS IN THE DRIVEWAY.

WE ALL PARK INSIDE OUR GARAGE.

SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NEXT TO THAT IS A LOT OF CARS.

[01:45:02]

MY MOM LIVES ON THAT CORNER OF MISTLETOE AND I'M THINKING, I BET YOU, THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME CARS ON MISTLETOE.

THEN I'M THINKING, I WONDER WHAT OUR HOA WILL THINK OF THAT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, OR WE GET FINED.

WHAT HOA ARE THEY GOING TO HAVE? HOW ARE THEY GOING TO REGULATE THE PEOPLE THAT WE WANT MORE PEOPLE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD? WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES LIKE THE COTTAGES AND FOR SALE.

BECAUSE WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

MY MOM HAS LIVED THERE 17 YEARS AND SHE BUILT HER HOUSE.

ALL THOSE HOUSES OVER THERE THERE ARE 750,000.

THEY BUILT THEIR HOUSE.

MY MOTHER MOVED FROM DE PICA, KANSAS WAITING FOR RETIREMENT SO SHE COULD LIVE IN A RANCH HOUSE, AND SHE MOVED ME FROM CALIFORNIA 3.5 YEARS AGO AND BOUGHT ME A HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET.

NOW, I WALK GIVING HER WATER BECAUSE SHE'S DRINKING OUT OF TAP WATER, AND SHE HAD ENVIRONMENTAL BREAST CANCER, AND IT PROBABLY CAME FROM THE WATER.

I'M SORRY THE CHURCH HAS TO WALK WITH WATER, BUT I'M WALKING ACROSS THE STREET TO GET MY MOTHER REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER BECAUSE I'M THE ONE THAT SPENT THE 8,000 10,000 TO PUT IT IN MY HOUSE.

I TAKE CARE OF THAT WOMAN, AND I'M GOING TO TELL THE DAY SHE DIES.

I LOVE HER NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M SICK THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.

SHE WOULD BE HERE RIGHT NOW, BUT SHE CAN BARELY WALK.

I'M REALLY SCARED ABOUT CRIME, NO ABOUT THE QUALITY OF PEOPLE OR WHATEVER.

BUT WHEN YOU PUT MORE PEOPLE IN A VERY CONDENSED AREA, THERE'S MORE CRIME.

WE JUST HAD A CRIME THAT WAS ON THE TELEVISION THAT GARAGE WAS OPENED, IT GOT VANDALIZED AT K7 AND PRAIRIE STAR.

CRIME IS AN IMPORTANT THING.

I DON'T KNOW WHY ANYONE THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE LOVE ALL COLORS, ALL SHAPES AND SIZES OF PEOPLE. THANK YOU.

>> SIGN IN, PLEASE. ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

>> GOOD EVENING, SARAH HANSON, 23720 WEST 92ND TERRACE.

THANK YOU FOR RECEIVING MY E MAIL.

I'VE ALREADY PRESENTED SOME COMMENTS.

THE NEW COMMENT I'D LIKE TO MAKE TONIGHT IS ABOUT, I GUESS, MAYBE WAS PHASE 7 WITH OUR AREA AND THE CONSTRUCTION.

WHEN WE MOVED OUT THERE, PHASE 1, PHASE 2, PHASE 3, WE DIDN'T HAVE FILLED IN LOTS.

NOW WE HAVE FAMILIES, AND WE HAVE BICYCLISTS, AND WE HAVE KIDS ON SCOOTERS AND E SCOOTERS.

NOW WE HAVE A GAS STATION, AND IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, LIKE WE HAVE, THEY'RE NOW COMING ACROSS DUN RAVEN TO GET ICE CREAM TO GET POP.

IT'S A COLLECTION AREA.

SO BRINGING IN MORE CONSTRUCTION AT AREA REALLY PUTS THOSE KIDDOS AT RISK.

IT'S ABOUT ONE OF THE FEW BUSINESS AREAS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AGAIN, TONIGHT, WE CROSSED OVER K7 TO COME TO THIS MEETING.

EVERYTHING WE DO IN LENEXA, WE CROSS OVER, WE COME EAST AND RETURN BACK WEST.

PLEASE CONSIDER THE KIDDOS AND THE WALKERS, AND THE PEDESTRIANS, AND THE RECREATIONAL FOLKS IN THE AREA AS WE BRING IN MORE TRAFFIC, AND WE BRING IN MORE CONSTRUCTION. THANK YOU.

>> THANKS, SARAH. FINAL COMMENTS.

FOLKS, YOU CAN LINE UP BEHIND ONE ANOTHER.

>> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS BRANDON FISHER, TRUSTEE AT MANSO GOSPEL ASSEMBLY.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

REALLY, OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE SAFETY ASPECT, WHICH HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT.

CROSSING K7 IS VERY TREACHEROUS, AND YOU CAN IMAGINE FOR LOCAL SERVICES.

WE HAVE YOUNGER PEOPLE, GROWTH OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE NEWER DRIVERS, THAT'S A CONCERN.

SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR, WE DO EVENTS, AND WE HAVE SPECIAL SERVICES, AND WE COULD HAVE UPWARDS OF MAYBE A COUPLE OF 100 CARS CROSSING THAT MEDIAN THERE AT K7, WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR US.

THE OTHER THING HAS BEEN MENTIONED IS THE WATER.

WE'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 1976, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING TO AERIAL LAYOUT.

I THINK IT WENT BACK TO 2003.

IF YOU WENT BACK IN 1976, IT WAS PROBABLY JUST OUR CHURCH AND THE FARM LAND, AND WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING IN WATER TWICE A MONTH. WE'RE NOT CARRYING IT.

WE PAY TO HAVE IT TRUCKED IN AND PUT IN OUR SYSTEM.

BUT WE HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR SINCE 1976.

FOR US, WE ARE IN SUPPORT FROM THE SAFETY ASPECT, AND THEN ALSO, IT ALLOWS US OPPORTUNITY TO TAP INTO CITY WATER AND SEWER.

[01:50:03]

THAT'S THE BIGGEST THINGS FOR US AND WHY WE'RE IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

MY NAME IS GARY ROGERS.

I'M THE OWNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SOMETHING I HADN'T NOTICED BEFORE TONIGHT, LOOKING AT THE MODEL WE HAVE HERE.

THE DEVELOPER HAS DONE EVERYTHING THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO KEEP THE DENSITY DOWN IN THIS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, THERE IS A LOT MORE GREEN SPACE IN BETWEEN THOSE AND AROUND THEM THAN THERE IS ON THE COTTAGES TO THE OTHER SIDE.

THEY HAVE MAXED OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THIS PROPERTY AS FAR AS DENSITY CONCERNED TO MAKE IT ECONOMIC TO WHERE IT'S NOT SUB ECONOMIC.

I'VE HEARD A COMMENT MADE TONIGHT AND I HEARD IT AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ALSO, THAT SUBURBAN WANTED TO BUY THIS LAND.

I KNOW BILL STEWIK.

I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME.

I'VE ACTUALLY LIVED THERE SINCE 1997, AND SO I KNEW THAT WHEN BILL BOUGHT THE PLACE.

BILL DOES NOT WANT THIS.

I CAN QUITE ALSO TELL YOU THAT IF BILL WERE HERE TONIGHT AND THERE WAS A PLAN FOR HIM TO EXPAND COMMERCIALLY OVER HERE.

WE'D HAVE PEOPLE SAYING THEY DON'T WANT COMMERCIAL, THEY DON'T WANT THE NOISE OF THE YARD.

THEY DON'T WANT THE GRAVEL TRUCKS.

THEY DON'T WANT THE LOADERS.

I THINK THIS IS A VERY CONSERVATIVE PROJECT BECAUSE THE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED A PROJECT RIGHT DIRECTLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FROM THIS, THAT HAS THE SAME METRICS.

IT HAS THE HIGHWAY ON ONE SIDE.

A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ON ANOTHER, A STREET ON ANOTHER AND COMMERCIAL ON THE OTHER, AND IT'S APPROVED FOR 18 UNITS AN ACRE.

THIS IS A VERY CONSERVATIVE PROJECT.

THESE GENTLEMEN HAVE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS, A LOT OF TIME, A LOT OF PLAN SUBMISSIONS TO GET IT TO THIS POINT WHERE THIS IS THE BEST THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH THIS.

UNLESS AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, THE COUNCIL OR THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WANTS TO ENTERTAIN SOMEBODY COMING IN AND SAYING, LOOK, WE'VE GOT THE SAME THING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY.

WE WANT 18 UNITS AN ACRE.

I'D JUST LIKE TO POINT THAT OUT AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU, MR. ROGERS. FINAL CALL FOR COMMENTS.

WE'RE GOING TO START COUNCIL MEMBER DELIBERATIONS, JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE ON STEPHANIE'S FINAL SLIDE, SEVEN TO APPROVE, SIX TO DENY FIVE TO RETURN TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH SPECIFIC DIRECTION.

WE'LL TAKE GOLDEN CRITERIA.

WHO WOULD LIKE TO GO FIRST.

I BELIEVE WE'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM COUNCIL MEMBER DENNY. GO AHEAD.

>> I STILL HAVEN'T I'M STILL REALLY CONFLICTED.

BECAUSE ON THE ONE HAND, YES. THE COMPLAIN.

>> COUNCILMEMBER, I'M SORRY. WILL YOU PUT YOUR MIC DOWN? WE'RE REALLY HAVING TROUBLE HEARING YOU GUYS TONIGHT.

I'M SORRY TO BE A PEST.

>> IT'S I'M CONFLICTED.

YES, THE COMPLAINT IS A GUIDELINE, AND THE DEVELOPER FOLLOWED THE STEPPED APPROACH THAT WE EVEN SHOWED IN THE COMPLAIN AS AN EXAMPLE.

>> THERE'S STILL A WAY TO DO THAT AND RESPECT THE DENSITY SHOWN.

BUT I THINK WE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA IS ALREADY AN ISSUE.

THAT'S WHETHER THIS 86 OR 84, WHATEVER GOES IN.

FRANKLY, AT 3.5 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE, WHICH IS WHAT THAT SUBURBAN DENSITY COMES OUT TO, IT'S STILL 48 HOUSES.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN TRAFFIC 48-84 IS GOING TO BE NOTICEABLE.

IT'S STILL JUST GOING TO BE MORE.

REGARDLESS, THIS WILL NOT STAY ONE HOME FOREVER.

THERE WILL BE CONSTRUCTION AT SOME POINT.

I GUESS REALLY ALL THAT TO SAY I'M STILL REALLY CONFLICTED.

I DON'T LOVE THE HIGHER DENSITY HERE WHEN WE DIDN'T CONTEMPLATE THAT.

BUT I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE APPLICANT WORKED HARD WITH STAFF, AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO MAYBE SOMETHING TO CLARIFY FOR MOST FOLKS.

THE APPLICANT REFERENCED MONTHS OF WORK WITH STAFF AND STAFF SAID THE SAME THING IN THEIR PRESENTATION.

WE ONLY SEE PROJECTS THAT MEET A CERTAIN LEVEL OF QUALITY.

[01:55:04]

THERE'S A LOT OF JUNK THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE IT UP TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR TO THE COUNCIL.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE FOLKS ARE AWARE OF THAT.

STAFF PUT IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK.

I THINK THEY'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

>> I THINK MAYBE JUST BEFORE I HAND IT OFF AND STOP RAMBLING.

>> MAYBE WE WOULD ASK YOU TO RETURN TO GOLDEN IF YOU CAN ON YOUR DELIBERATION.

>> YES. GOLDEN CRITERIA, I WOULD REALLY PUSH BACK ON THE IDEA THAT THE TRAFFIC IS THE FOCUS.

LIKE I SAID, 84 VERSUS 48 IN A SUBDIVISION WHERE THERE'S ALREADY 700 PEOPLE OR 700 HOMES, I'M UNCLEAR.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMETHING LIKE 6% AND 10% MORE.

I'M CONFLICTED. I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT, AND I HOPE THAT MY COLLEAGUES CAN HELP ME SORT THROUGH IT.

>> CHELSEA.

>> WHEN I FIRST STARTED REVIEWING THIS PROJECT, I TOO WAS CONFLICTED.

AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE PACKET, AND I WAS READING THE RESIDENTS' CONCERNS AND THE EMAILS AND GOING THROUGH ALL OF THE MATERIAL, I DECIDED THE BEST WAY TO REALLY HELP ME WAS TO LAY OUT SOME PROS AND CONS AND HOW THEY APPLIED TO OUR GOLDEN CRITERIA.

AS I WAS MAKING THAT LIST, THE PROS OUTWEIGHED THE CONS ON MY LIST WHEN I WAS FINISHED, AND I ACTUALLY DIDN'T EXPECT THAT.

I LOOKED AT MY LIST, AND I STILL FELT SOMETHING WAS OFF ABOUT IT, AND MAYBE IT WAS SOME OF THE TRAFFIC CONCERNS.

BUT I LOOKED DOWN AT MY LIST, AND I SAW THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AN INFILL PROJECT OF A PIECE OF PROPERTY.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A DENSITY LEVEL THAT'S ACTUALLY, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, LESS OVERALL THAN WHAT THE RESERVE IS, RIGHT NEXT TO IT.

THE DEVIATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED, OR SOME OF THE SAME DEVIATIONS THAT WERE ALLOWED AND APPROVED FOR THE RESERVE.

IT FITS THE SUITABILITY OF THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL OF LAND.

I THINK THAT IT BRINGS A BENEFIT TO SOME OF THE CONCERNS WITH THE SAFETY, AND THAT DRIVEWAY ACCESS FROM HEDGE LANE ONTO K7.

THERE WAS A FATALITY THERE.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT INVOLVED TWO MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION OF THE CHURCH WHO DIED IN THAT ACCIDENT, AND JUST LISTENING TO WHAT HAS BEEN SAID THIS EVENING, THAT KDOT ITS MAIN PRIORITY IS TO ELIMINATE DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO K7, AND THAT'S GOING TO IMPROVE AND BE A GAIN TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY BY DOING THAT.

THAT REALLY STUCK OUT TO ME, AND USING THE TRANSITION IN DENSITY WITH A SINGLE FAMILY UNIT TO THAT ABOUT THE SINGLE FAMILY AND ALSO THEN TRANSITIONING INTO THE GREATER DENSITY TOWARDS THE CHURCH AND TOWARDS SUBURBAN LAWN IS COMPATIBLE WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE IN THESE AREAS, IN THESE UNDEVELOPED AREAS, LET'S COME DOWN TO IT.

THIS IS A PRIVATELY OWNED PIECE OF PROPERTY, AND YOU CAN'T DICTATE HOW AN OWNER WANTS TO SELL THE PROPERTY.

WHILE I STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO TO TRAFFIC, BASED ON THE COMMENTS AND THE STATEMENTS FROM TIM TONIGHT, IT SEEMS THAT DUNRAVEN IS STILL BUILT TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN THIS CAPACITY, AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT MEETS ENOUGH GOLDEN CRITERIA THAT I INTEND TO APPROVE THE PROJECT TONIGHT.

[02:00:05]

>> CHRIS.

>> I SUPPORT THE PROJECT.

IT DOES MEET THE STANDARDS IN THE GOLDEN CRITERIA.

I BELIEVE IT IS ACTUALLY THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE LAND, JUST BASED ON THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WHAT'S AROUND IT, HOW WE HAVE TYPICALLY SEEN THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE STAFF CARRIES A LOT OF WEIGHT IN MY DECISION, FROM UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS OF TRAFFIC TO THE FIT WITH THE COMP PLAN.

IN THE SUITABILITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT ITSELF, JUST THE DENSITY OF THE HOMES, AS CHELSEA MENTIONED, IS BELOW WHAT CURRENTLY EXISTS, SO IT GETS MY SUPPORT.

>> MELANIE.

>> YES, AND I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH MY COLLEAGUE SO FAR.

I DO SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND I ALSO HAD A LOT OF RESERVATIONS IN THE BEGINNING.

JUST BECAUSE OF THOSE TRAFFIC ASPECTS AND SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED TONIGHT ABOUT SCHOOL ENROLLMENT, I FELT THAT THAT WAS A VERY VALID CONCERN TO BRING UP.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY ELUCIDATING, CRAIG, AND I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, HAVING SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.

ULTIMATELY, SCHOOLS LEARN TO ADAPT.

THEN ALSO TALKING ABOUT CONSTRUCTION AND HOW IT MIGHT IMPACT, DRIVING FOR SOME OF YOU.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, AND WE ALL MANAGED TO ADAPT TO THIS.

I LIVE IN A PART OF LENEXA, 7050, AND CUIRIRA, AN AREA WHERE THERE IS ALWAYS CONSTRUCTION.

IT'S SO INCONVENIENT, BUT I ADAPT.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT CONSTRUCTION IS EVER GOING TO COME TO A FULL END, BUT IT'S OKAY. I LEARNED TO ACCEPT IT.

AFTER READING THE PACKET, LISTENING TO WHAT RESIDENTS HAD TO SAY, MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH, OF COURSE, THAT WAS VERY VALUABLE INPUT.

THOSE PROS STARTED TO OUTWEIGH THE CONS.

THE FACT THAT THIS COULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THE CHURCH IN TERMS OF WATER AXIS, BUT ALSO POTENTIALLY IN TERMS OF MEMBERSHIP, IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER.

THE OTHER THING, TOO, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COURTNEY DOES A GREAT JOB OF BRINGING UP WHEN WE TALK ABOUT RENTALS.

IT'S ASKING ABOUT IF THESE RENTALS HAVE THREE TO FOUR BEDROOMS, BECAUSE WHILE IN LENEXA, AND SOME OF YOU NOTED, LENEXA HAS A NUMBER OF RENTALS, BUT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF THEM HAVE THREE AND FOUR BEDROOMS, AND ESPECIALLY WITH A GARAGE, THAT'S HIGHLY VALUABLE TO HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I APPRECIATED WHAT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY HAD TO SHARE ABOUT HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS DESIGNED WITH A LOT OF OPEN SPACE, SO WITH THOSE BENEFITS BEING OUTLINED, I WOULD SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

>> THANK YOU, BILL.

>> WELL, YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT HIGH DENSITY, EXCEPT IN CITY CENTER.

THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT, THE SINGLE-FAMILY, THE TOWNHOMES THAT I'M A FAN OF.

HOWEVER, THE TRAFFIC DOES BOTHER ME, AND LENEXA IS A DESIRABLE LOCATION.

WE CAN WAIT.

WE DON'T HAVE TO RUSH.

WE CAN WAIT UNTIL THE ROUNDABOUTS ARE IMPROVED AND THE BRIDGE, 95TH STREET IS IMPROVED.

PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN LENEXA, AND SO WE CAN WAIT.

THERE'S NO HURRY.

THERE'S NO HURRY TO APPROVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I HOPE WE DO IN THE FUTURE, AND I BET WE WILL BECAUSE THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP CALLS FOR IT.

[02:05:02]

BUT RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO HURRY.

>> ANYTHING RELATED TO GOLDEN BILL?

>> TRAFFIC. TRAFFIC. ABSOLUTELY. THE ROUNDABOUT AND THE BRIDGE. WE CAN WAIT.

>> THANK YOU. MARK.

>> AS JOHN HAS CONFLICTED, SO AM I. I MEAN, HE DID A GREAT JOB PUTTING A LOT OF MATERIAL AND QUESTIONS TOGETHER.

WE'VE RECEIVED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CORRESPONDENCE FROM NEIGHBORS, PERSONAL PHONE CALLS, ALL THESE EMAILS AND STUFF, AND WE'VE GONE OVERTIME ON THIS.

IT ALWAYS BOILS DOWN TO TRAFFIC.

ONE OF THE YOUNG LADIES SPOKE A LITTLE WHILE AGO ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD JUST TO THE NORTH, AND THAT THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK ON THE STREET, AND I CAN SEE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE THAT DENSITY AND THAT ISSUE WITH PARKING IN THIS AREA.

THE THING THAT BUGGED ME ON THE PLAN WAS THE TOWNHOMES ACROSS FROM THE SINGLE-FAMILY.

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT THAT JUST DIDN'T FIT IN THE CONTEXT AND THE CHARACTER OF NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET IN THE SINGLE-FAMILY VERSION.

I EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO TAKE JERRY.

I DON'T KNOW IF JERRY'S HERE, BUT I TOOK A PHONE CALL FROM JERRY, AND SHE WAS TRYING TO THINK BEYOND THE BOX OF GETTING WAYS OUT OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, OUT OF THE RESERVE.

IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN GO NORTH? THE MORE I LOOKED AT IT, I DIDN'T EVEN BRING IT UP TO THE STAFF BECAUSE CITY SHAWNEE HAS GOT THAT INDUSTRIAL PARK JUST NORTH OF THERE.

THERE'S JUST NO WAY WE CAN MAKE ANYTHING LIKE THAT OCCUR.

THAT'S DISAPPOINTING FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

IT IS BOILING DOWN TO TRAFFIC.

THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD EXCEPT DUNRAVEN.

WITH THE INTERCHANGE AND THE APARTMENTS, LIKE CONNIE SAID, THE APARTMENTS ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY AND K7, THAT'S GOING TO ADD TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS FOR K7 AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY INTERCHANGE.

I THINK WE NEED TO BE WAITING FOR US AS A CITY COUNCIL AND A STAFF TO BE LOOKING AT THAT AND WORKING WITH KDOT TO GET SOMETHING GOING BEFORE WE CAN REALLY MOVE FORWARD ON TOO MANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, SO AT THIS POINT, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO VOTE NO.

>> COURTNEY.

>> I WASN'T PLANNING ON GOING LAST, BUT I HAD PROBABLY THE MOST TO WRITE DOWN.

A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT ARE THAT THESE ARE THE INFIELD PROJECTS THAT WE LIKE TO SEE.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF MISINFORMATION THAT I SAW SPREAD ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT THAT WAS SHARED WITH ME, ABOUT THIS BEING WHAT WE CALL HIGH DENSITY, AND THIS IS NOT HIGH DENSITY.

THIS IS R1 AND R2, AND FOR WHAT YOU WANT NEXT TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS, THIS ABSOLUTELY FITS THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU HAVE TOWNHOUSES THAT ARE FURTHER UP THE ROAD.

YOU HAVE A SINGLE-FAMILY.

THEY'VE LAYERED, THEY'VE DONE WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO GET THERE.

I ALSO LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE THREE AND FOUR-BEDROOMS. BUT WITH THAT COMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE RIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS TO ACCOUNT FOR THOSE PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH NOT NECESSARILY SO MUCH THE PRIVATE DRIVE, BUT THE LACK OF PARKING IN THE DRIVEWAYS FOR THAT SPACE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE IN THERE.

I WORRY ABOUT THE TRAFFIC WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE LACK OF STREET PARKING THAT'S THERE, AND THE IDEA AROUND.

THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE GOING ON ON DUNRAVEN AND PRAIRIE STAR.

WE'RE THERE BEFORE THIS PROJECT WAS EVEN BROUGHT TO US.

I THINK THAT THE PROJECT STIRRED UP THE NEIGHBORS ENOUGH TO HAVE SOMETHING TO COME AND BE UP IN ARMS ABOUT AND SO I DON'T TRULY BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFICALLY OR THE PROJECT SPECIFICALLY, BUT THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THE FACT THAT YOU'RE ADDING MORE PEOPLE TO THE SPACE THAT THE TRAFFIC ISN'T ACCOMMODATING CURRENTLY, AND THAT IS THE BIGGER CONCERN FROM MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS.

THERE ARE SOME OTHER NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE OTHER CONCERNS, BUT MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS.

ONE OF THE OTHER CONCERNS THAT I HAVE IS IF WE DENY THIS TONIGHT,

[02:10:05]

AND WE DON'T APPROVE AN R1 AND AN R2, YOU RUN THE RISK OF AN R5 PROPOSAL COMING TO US A YEAR FROM NOW WITH HIGH-DENSITY APARTMENTS, OR AFTER THE TRAFFIC GETS MITIGATED, AND THEY WANT A DIFFERENT REZONING.

IT'S A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD, AND SO WHEN WE REZONE SOMETHING, WE GET TO SAY WHAT THE PRELIMINARY PLANS CAN LOOK LIKE, BUT WE DON'T GET TO TELL SOMEBODY WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN BUILD OR NOT DEVELOP THEIR PROPERTY.

WE DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY, AND WE CAN'T KEEP IT AS GREEN SPACE.

IF YOU WANT A GREEN SPACE, YOU'VE GOT TO BUY IT AND PAY GARY ALL THE MONEY AND MAKE IT A PARK AND WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT.

BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ACCEPT AN R1 OR AN R2 TYPE OF PROPOSAL, THEN WHAT ELSE? THE GRASS MAY NOT BE GREENER IS MY POINT.

THAT BEING SAID, I HAVE GENUINE CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROJECT ITSELF WHEN IT COMES TO THE CONFORMANCE OF THE REQUESTED CHANGE, WHICH IS ADOPTED TO RECOGNIZE THE MASTER PLAN BEING UTILIZED BY THE CITY.

I'M A SCHOOL TEACHER. I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT.

NORMALLY, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT IT IS NOT OUR PURVIEW TO BE THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, LIKE SHE SAID, WE WORK WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THEY LOOK AT OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAPS.

THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS BASED OFF THAT, BUT THIS IS A DEVIATION FROM WHAT OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP SAYS AND SO THERE'S THE SUBURBAN DENSITY THAT'S LISTED IN WHILE, I BELIEVE THAT WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED FITS THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S NOT FAIR TO SAY THAT THEY COULD ADEQUATELY PLAN FOR THAT IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE WERE GOING TO MAKE THAT DEVIATION.

THAT'S ONE OF THEM. SECONDLY, I WOULD SAY THAT THIS MAY INADVERTENTLY IMPACT THE TRAFFIC AND THE STREET NETWORK UNTIL WE CAN GET SOME MITIGATIONS THAT HAPPEN.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROBLEM THAT COMES WITH THAT IS THAT WE HAVE A PROJECT THAT COULD BE ACCEPTABLE WITH SOME TWEAKS FOR ME.

BUT IT WILL TYPICALLY IMPACT THE TRAFFIC WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M NOT CERTAIN THAT I FEEL LIKE THERE'S ADEQUATE PARKING FOR THE NUMBER OF UNITS ON THAT PRIVATE DRIVE, AND I THINK THAT WHERE IS THE OVERFLOW GOING TO GO? AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WILL PROBABLY BE A NO VOTE.

>> JOHN, ANY CLARITY?

>> I MIGHT BE ABLE TO TALK IT OUT, MAYBE. I KEEP COMING.

>> HOW ABOUT THIS? RIGHT NOW WE ARE 4-3.

I CAN MAKE SOME COMMENTS, IF YOU'D LIKE.

IF WE DENY THAT'S A STRAIGHT DENIAL, IF WE RETURN TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME SPECIFIC REQUESTS.

IN COURTNEY'S SCENARIO, WE WOULD NEED TO ASK FOR REWORK ON STREET PARKING OR ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL PARKING OF SOME KIND.

IF WE'RE ALL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, WE CAN REMAIN TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND DO ALL THIS AGAIN.

>> JULIE B MAKE A COMMENT?

>> YES, PLEASE.

>> WE HAVE A PRACTICE, I THINK, ON THIS DAIS OF NOT DESIGNING FROM THE DIAS.

WE HAVE A PROFESSIONAL STAFF, AND WE HAVE A PLANNING COMMISSION MADE UP OF OTHER PROFESSIONALS.

WE'VE GOTTEN A UNANIMOUS VOTE FROM PLANNING COMMISSION AND A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF.

WE HAVE AN APPLICANT WHO LOOKED AT OUR FUTURE LAND USE PLAN, AND SPECIFICALLY THE PAGE OUTLINED AND FOLLOWED THAT ALMOST TO A T. THIS PROJECT DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY, LIKE FLIPPING A LIGHT SWITCH, GET BUILT TOMORROW.

I THINK THAT SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH TRAFFIC, LIKE THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE CAN BE ACCOMMODATED IN THE PERIOD FOLLOWING APPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT REZONING, BUT BEFORE CONSTRUCTION EVER STARTS.

AT THE VERY LEAST,

[02:15:01]

RESTRIPING GETS DONE IN A WEEK OR TWO OR THREE, AND MODIFICATION, I THINK OF A, ROUNDABOUT CAN BE FUNDED FROM OUR CIP PRETTY EASILY.

THE INFORMATION THAT I READ IN THE RESPONSE TO JOHN MICHAEL'S REQUEST HAD TO DO WITH TRAFFIC VOLUMES.

IF I READ IT CORRECTLY, WE HAVE ADEQUATE CAPACITY BY WHAT, TWO TIMES? ARE WE AT 60% CAPACITY? IS THAT THAT'S ABOUT WHERE WE ARE? I DON'T FORESEE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC USING 40% SO THAT WE GO TO FULL CAPACITY.

MY CONCEPT OF CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC IS YOU COME IN IN A DAY AND YOU GO HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY, AND YOU'RE NOT DRIVING THE STREETS? YOU'RE WORKING ON A PROJECT.

I THINK WHEN WE HAVE A PRIVATE OWNER WHO WANTS TO SELL HIS PROPERTY TO A DEVELOPER WHO'S GOT A GOOD DEVELOPMENT.

WE SIT UP HERE AND IT PICK THE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THERE'S A FEW THINGS WE DON'T LIKE.

WE ARE ESSENTIALLY INHIBITING HIS ABILITY TO SELL HIS PROPERTY.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UP HERE FOR.

I'M IN SUPPORT OF IT, AS I SAID BEFORE, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A GOOD PROJECT.

IT'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FLIP A SWITCH, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE BUILT TOMORROW.

WE'VE GOT TIME TO DO SOME STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE, BUT THAT'S WHERE I AM.

>> YEAH. MAYBE WE'LL ADD THERE THAT I'M IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH COUNCIL MEMBER DANNY.

WHEN WE TALK IN A LARGER CONTEXT ABOUT OUR GOALS FOR HOUSING IN PARTICULAR, IT IS DEVELOPMENTS LIKE THIS, THAT HAVE THIS MISSING MIDDLE, PARTICULARLY TO THE THREE AND FOUR BEDROOM TYPE OF PRODUCT THAT WE DON'T SEE GET BUILT A LOT.

I THINK THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE MAY NOT GET AGAIN IN ANOTHER LOCATION.

I THINK THE SIZE OF THE SINGLE FAMILY IS ALSO AN INTERESTING PRODUCT THAT WE SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE FINDING DESIRABLE.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ALWAYS FOLLOW DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT.

I THINK CRAIG IS ALSO RIGHT IN THAT REGARD THAT STRIPING IS AN EASY PROJECT.

WE STILL HAVE A CIP PROCESS AHEAD OF US WHERE WE CAN MAKE OUR CONCERNS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ROUNDABOUT AND ASK STAFF TO REWORK THE TIMETABLE ON WHEN THAT ROUNDABOUT GETS IMPROVED BECAUSE I THINK COURTNEY IS RIGHT.

WE COULD DENY THIS AND WAIT AND GET SOMETHING THAT THE NEIGHBORS AREN'T GOING TO LIKE EITHER.

THAT MIGHT BE A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS JUST AS MUCH TRAFFIC OR MORE.

I THINK WE WILL HAVE LOST AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP HOUSING THAT WE HEAR ALL THE TIME THAT PEOPLE WANT IN OUR COMMUNITY.

IT'S A QUALITY DEVELOPMENT.

I THINK IT HAS THE ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF HAVING THE PRIVATE DRIVE BE PRIVATELY MANAGED THAT WILL MEET THEIR STANDARDS, AND IN A VOTE TONIGHT, I WILL SUPPORT THE PROJECT AS WELL.

>> I MEAN, I THINK THE POINT ABOUT WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE COULD GET PROPOSED CUTS BOTH WAYS.

IF I'M ALREADY STRUGGLING TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS MORE THAN WHAT I HAD ENVISIONED VIA THE COMP PLAN, I CERTAINLY DON'T THINK I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT OF SOMETHING THAT'S 18 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

BUT I THINK THE CHALLENGES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED, THE TRAFFIC IS ALREADY A PROBLEM.

IF IT WERE ONLY RP1, AGAIN, 48 VERSUS 84, HOWEVER, I WAS DOING THE MATH UP HERE, AND IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE DONE LONG FORM MULTIPLICATION.

BUT THOSE CARS ONE, I THINK IF AN RP1 ON PROPOSAL CAME BEFORE US, I WOULD HAVE ZERO JUSTIFICATION TO SAY NO.

YOU'D STILL BE STUCK WITH ABOUT 50 HOMES WORTH OF TRAFFIC.

A COUPLE OF THE POINTS THAT AREN'T GOLDEN CRITERIA HAVEN'T BEEN BROUGHT BACK UP AGAIN, BUT CRIME GOT BROUGHT UP A COUPLE OF TIMES.

CRIME THANKFULLY, PD PULLED THE NUMBERS FOR US, AND IT'S BEEN CONSISTENT FOR THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS.

THE SELLING VERSUS RENTING THING IS NOT A CONCERN TO ME.

I RENTED AS RECENTLY AS THREE YEARS AGO.

SOME OF US HAVE A LOT OF PRIDE IN WHERE WE ARE, WHETHER WE PURCHASE OR RENT.

[02:20:04]

ACTUALLY, GOING OFF OF WHAT MARK WAS SAYING, I'D HAVE LESS CONCERNS ABOUT A TOWN HOME ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME THAN I WOULD IN MY BACK YARD.

REALLY, HIS CONCERN MIGHT BE THE FOLKS WHO ARE EAST OF MISTLETOE, MINE IS THE FOLKS WHO ARE WEST AND SOUTH OF MISTLETOE.

BUT I THINK ALL THAT TO SAY, I MEAN, I CAN GET MYSELF COMFORTABLE WITH THE PROJECT IN LIGHT OF WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES COULD BE.

BUT MAYBE JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE AT LEAST TWO FOLKS WHO OUTRIGHT WOULD NOT SUPPORT IT.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE COURTNEY IS LANDING RIGHT NOW, BUT WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US IN TERMS OF COUNTS?

>> WE'LL CALL ON BECKY THERE.

>> MAYOR, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE POINT ABOUT THE TOWN HOME PORTION OF THIS.

YOU WILL STILL SEE A FINAL PLAN ON THE TOWN HOME PORTION OF THIS.

ALSO, ANOTHER POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

THE PARKING PROVIDED IN THE TOWN HOME PORTION OF THIS DOES EXCEED OUR PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS USE.

I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT CLARIFICATION.

THIS IS NOT YOUR LAST LOOK AS IT RELATES TO THE TOWN HOME PORTION.

THERE WOULD STILL BE A FINAL PLAN.

IF THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT PARKING THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT, WE CAN CERTAINLY TAKE THAT DIRECTION AND DO SO AT FINAL PLAN.

THEN AS IT RELATES TO THE VOTE COUNT.

WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN IS WHAT'S REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY OF THOSE ACTIONS.

>> I HAVEN'T HEARD A CLEAR ANSWER FROM YOU, JOHN. THAT'S STILL 5-3.

>> I THINK I CAN GET BEHIND VOTING TO APPROVE.

I WAS UNCLEAR, MAYOR, IF YOU VOTE IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.

>> FOR A SUPERMAJORITY, I WILL TONIGHT.

YES. YOU GUYS GOOD. YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD.

WE'RE GOING TO DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

IF YOU STAY WITH WHERE YOU ARE NOW, WE WILL VOTE TO DENY.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, WE NEED ONE MORE VOTE TO APPROVE. MARK.

>> LISTENING TO CRAIG, HE BROUGHT UP A LOT OF GOOD POINTS THAT I DIDN'T THINK OF.

COURTNEY ALSO BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANY LOWER DENSITY THAN WE ALREADY HAVE WITH THIS, RP1 AND RP2.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WILL HAPPEN HERE. IT COULD BE WORSE.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PARKING ON SITE, AND I WOULD LIKE THE DEVELOPER TO LOOK AT THAT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE ABOUT POSSIBLY REDUCING THE THE TOWN HOMES ACROSS FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY AND SEE IF WE CAN GO TO SINGLE FAMILY AND MAKE THOSE I KNOW THE DENSITY.

YOU GUYS WANT THE DENSITY.

I'M CONCERNED WITH THE PARKING ON THE TOWN HOME SIDE.

BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE COULD DO THAT THAT'S BETTER THAN THIS IN REGARDS TO THE DENSITY IS NOT THAT SEVERE.

THEN THE TRAFFIC CAN BE DEALT WITH IN THE FUTURE IN REGARDS TO THE TRAFFIC MITIGATION.

YES, THIS ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME.

BUT I THINK WE AS A STAFF, AND IN A CITY COUNCIL, WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT K7 DOWN THE ROAD, THAT INTERCHANGE AND SOONER THAN LATER, I THINK.

I THINK I'M CHANGING MY TUNE TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE.

>> COURT, ANYTHING ELSE? JENNIFER, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL ROLL?

>> MOTION MAYOR.

>> SORRY. MOTION NUMBER 1 IS ENTERTAINING A MOTION TO PASS THE ORDINANCE REZONING THE PROPERTY FROM AG TO RP1 AND RP2 PLAN RESIDENTIAL.

SORRY. THAT WAS CHRIS.

YES. YES. MOTION BY CHRIS.

SECOND BY CHELSEA.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. OH, WAIT.

NO. SORRY. ROLL CALL.

ON THE FIRST MOTION.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER HANDLEY?

>> AYE.

>> CHRIS.

>> AYE.

>> I'M SORRY.

>> COUNCIL MEMBER [INAUDIBLE].

I GOT AHEAD OF MYSELF THERE.

>> AYE.

>> THAT IS 7-2.

MOTION PASSES.

ITEM NUMBER 2, ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE COMPANION PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR HEDGE LANE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.

MOTION BY CRAIG, SECOND BY CHELSEA.

AGAIN, ROLL CALL, PLEASE.

>> WE'LL START WITH COUNCIL MEMBER IRISH. COUNCIL MEMBER CHARLES.

[02:25:05]

>> HANG ON. JENNIFER.

>> SORRY.

>> WE TALKED A LITTLE EARLIER ABOUT.

>> CAN YOU USE YOUR MIC, PLEASE.

>> BECKY, YOU TALKED EARLIER ABOUT APPROVING THAT PLAN.

BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THIS WAS RIGHT HERE, SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT AGAIN, BUT IT'S RIGHT HERE.

>> YOU'LL GET A FINAL PLAN BACK FOR THE TOWN HOMES, AND WE'VE HEARD YOUR CONCERNS RELATIVE TO PARKING, AND SO WE'LL DEFINITELY WORK WITH THE APPLICANT PRIOR TO FINAL PLAN ON THOSE CONCERNS.

>> YEAH. VOTING TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN.

AGAIN, ROLL CALL, STARTING WITH COURTNEY. COURTNEY?

>> OBVIOUSLY DON'T DO THIS FOR YOUR.

>> FIVE TO TWO MOTION PASSES.

THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO CALL A FIVE MINUTE RECESS.

WE'LL BE BACK STRAIGHT UP 9: 30.

IF EVERYBODY COULD GO AHEAD AND START RETAKING THEIR SEATS, WE'VE GOT EVERYBODY BACK.

WE WILL CALL BACK TO ORDER, PLEASE.

ITEM NUMBER 14 IS CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR A MIXED USE GENTLEMAN.

[14. Consideration of a preliminary plan for a mixed-use development known as The Rise located at the southeast corner of 87th Street Parkway & Renner Boulevard in the CC, Planned City Center District The applicant proposes a mixed-use development consisting of an 11-story building with a ground-level parking structure. The building will include 5,278 square feet of office space; 2,225 square feet of restaurant and bar; and 132 apartments.]

WE ARE BACK IN ORDER.

FOR A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT KNOWN AS THE RISE, LOCATED AT THE SOUTH WEST SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 87 STREET PARKWAY AND RENER BOULEVARD IN THE CITY CENTER PLANNED CITY CENTER DISTRICT. STEPHANIE.

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNSEL.

STEPHANIE SILVAN, AGAIN, WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

AS MENTIONED, THIS IS ITEM NUMBER 14.

THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PLAN CALLED THE RISE, AND IT IS A PRELIMINARY PLAN APPROVAL BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING.

THIS SITE IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 87TH STREET PARKWAY AND RENER BOULEVARD.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE THE LOCATION MAP SHOWING THE GENERAL PROJECT LOCATION IN RELATION TO THE MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY, WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE BLACK OUTLINE.

THIS PROJECT IS JUST WEST OF 435 HIGHWAY AND SOUTH OF 87TH STREET.

NOW ON THE SCREEN, YOU'LL SEE A BIRD'S EYE VIEW AERIAL MAP OF THE PROJECT SITE LOCATION OUTLINED IN RED.

THIS IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED PARCEL JUST NORTH OF THE LOFTS DEVELOPMENT, AND YOU MAY ALSO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE JACKETS BARBECUE LOCATION HERE JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME CONTEXT.

EXCUSE ME. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OLDER AERIAL BECAUSE YOU DON'T SEE RESTAURANT ROW IN THIS AREA, BUT THIS IS NOW DEVELOPED WITH FOUR RESTAURANTS, AND A HOSPITAL.

LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON IN THAT AREA THERE.

AS ALWAYS, HERE IS THE SLIDE SHOWING YOU THE ZONING MAP AND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE ZONING OF THE SITE IS CC CITY CENTER, SO THIS IS WITHIN OUR CITY CENTER DISTRICT.

THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATES THE SITE AS CITY CENTER CORE.

AGAIN, THOSE TWO DESIGNATIONS ARE ALIGNED, AND THE PROPOSED IS A MIXED USE BUILDING FEATURING MULTIFAMILY APARTMENTS, AS WELL AS SOME OFFICE SPACE AND A ROOFTOP RESTAURANT AND BAR USE.

>> THE SITE PLAN HERE SHOWS YOU JUST THE GROUND LEVEL VIEW OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

THERE IS PARKING PROVIDED ON STREET AROUND THE PERIMETER.

THIS IS KNOWN AS RENNER AVENUE ALONG THE WEST, 87TH TERRACE ALONG THE NORTH AND REICHERT STREET ON THE EAST.

THERE IS ALSO A DRIVE BETWEEN THE LOFTS AND THE RISE.

THERE ARE 11 STORIES ABOVE GROUND LEVEL IN A PARKING STRUCTURE, SO YOU COULD SAY IT'S PARTIALLY 11, 12 STORY SPLIT, BUT WE ARE CALLING IT FOR ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES IN 11 STORY BUILDING.

SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE, YOU SEE 132 APARTMENTS IS CROSSED OUT AND 120 IS IN BOLD.

THE APPLICANT HAS CHANGED THE UNIT MIX WITHIN THE BUILDING TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ONE BEDROOM UNITS AND INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TWO BEDROOM UNITS.

OVERALL, THEY'VE REDUCED THE UNIT COUNT BY 12 UNITS.

YOU'LL SEE IT IS NOW 120 APARTMENT UNITS INSTEAD OF 132, AND I'LL HAVE A BETTER BREAKDOWN OF THAT FOR YOU IN A LATER SLIDE IN THIS PRESENTATION.

I MENTIONED THERE'S ALSO AN OFFICE COMPONENT.

THE SLIDE NOTES THAT THERE'S ABOUT 5,000 SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE, AND THE RESTAURANT AND BAR ON THE ROOFTOP IS JUST OVER 2,000 SQUARE FEET.

[02:30:01]

AS MENTIONED, THE UNIT MIX HAS CHANGED.

THERE WAS NEVER ANY STUDIO UNITS IN EITHER VERSION.

AT PLANNING COMMISSION, THIS WAS THE UNIT MIX THAT WE SAW.

WE SAW 56, 1 BEDROOMS, 76, 2 BEDROOMS, AND A TOTAL OF 132 UNITS.

NOW WITH THE REVISED PLAN, WE SEE 38, 1 BEDROOM, 82, 2 BEDROOM, AND A TOTAL OF 120 DWELLING UNITS.

PART OF THE REASON THE APPLICANT CHANGED THE UNIT MIX WAS TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL PARKING REQUIRED.

YOU'LL SEE HERE THAT NOW THE PARKING REQUIREMENT HAS ACTUALLY GONE DOWN BY 20 SPACES, AND SO THE DEFICIT IS 84 FROM CODE REQUIREMENT VERSUS 104 WITH WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED.

DO YOU WANT TO JUST TOUCH ON PARKING REQUIREMENT ON THIS SLIDE.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, CITY CENTER ENJOYS PUBLIC PARKING.

WE HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC PARKING AVAILABLE THROUGH GARAGES AND ON STREET PARKING WITHIN THE DISTRICT, AND CITY CENTER AS A WHOLE, IS MEANT TO BE A WALKABLE TYPE DISTRICT, AN URBAN DISTRICT.

IT IS COMMON FOR A LOT OF OUR PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS TO NOT NECESSARILY FULLY PARK THEIR SITES PER CODE REQUIREMENT.

STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROPOSED PARKING ON THE SITE AND THE APPLICANT HAS RELIED ON SOME OF THEIR OWN MARKET ANALYSIS FROM OTHER PROJECTS TO DETERMINE THE PARKING THAT THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT AND BE ABLE TO MARKET APPROPRIATE PARKING TO APPROPRIATE UNIT COUNTS.

I'M SURE THE APPLICANT CAN ELABORATE ON WHY THEY CHOSE THEIR PROPOSED PARKING COUNT MORE WHEN THEY PRESENT.

BUILDING FLOORS AND USES IS ON THIS SLIDE.

THE FIRST FLOOR IS SHOWN HERE ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN.

THE OFFICE AREA IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING WITH THE BLUE FILL.

THERE'S AMENITIES IN THIS YELLOW FILLED AREA ON THE FIRST FLOOR.

YOU CAN ALSO SEE THIS DROP OFF LOOP AND SOME SURFACE PARKING THAT IS RIGHT OUTSIDE, THAT MAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE AMENITIES, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE ON THE VERY TOP FLOOR ON THE 11TH FLOOR, THIS RED AREA IS THE ROOFTOP PATIO AND BAR RESTAURANT.

I KNOW WE TOUCHED ON PARKING A LITTLE BIT.

THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE SHOWS.

>> CAN I INTERRUPT JUST A MINUTE? BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED.

IS THERE A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THE EXTENT OF THE UNDERGROUND PARKING?

>> I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE THAT SLIDE IN HERE.

LET ME SEE. YOU HAVE ONE? THE APPLICANT HAS THAT SLIDE.

>> EXCELLENT. THANK YOU.

>> PARKING, AND I APOLOGIZE, I DON'T HAVE A SLIDE SHOWING THAT PARKING LAYOUT IN HERE, BUT ON THE GROUND FLOOR, THERE'S 116 SPACES, SECOND LEVEL, 24 SPACES, PRIVATE SURFACE PARKING, 17 SPACES HERE, AND ON STREET PARKING 40 SPACES.

THE TOTAL PROVIDED IS 197 SPACES, AND THE REQUIREMENT IS 281 SPACES.

THAT'S THE REVISED NUMBERS WITH THE REVISED UNIT COUNT.

BUILDING HEIGHT. THIS IS A GREAT GRAPHIC DEMONSTRATING THE BUILDING HEIGHT AND THE STORIES, YOU CAN SEE HERE EACH STORY IS NUMBERED, SO YOU CAN FOLLOW THAT UPWARD WITH THE 11TH STORY ON TOP AND THE GROUND LEVEL PARKING ON THE BOTTOM HERE.

THE BUILDING OVERALL IS ABOUT 136 FEET TALL, AND I WILL NOTE CODE ALLOWS A MAXIMUM OF 110 FEET TYPICALLY.

HOWEVER, YOU CAN EXCEED THAT WITH APPROVAL OF A PLAN.

IN THIS CASE, THEY ARE PROPOSING TO EXCEED THAT 110 FEET AND HOPING FOR APPROVAL OF THIS PLAN.

FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES, WE WANTED TO SHOW A COUPLE DIFFERENT OF LARGER CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS FOR SCALE.

KIEWIT AND THE PEACH COLOR ALONG HERE IS MEANT TO SHOW WHERE THE GRADE IS.

YOU'LL SEE HERE, PART OF THE ADVENT BUILDING IS ACTUALLY BELOW GRADE IN SOME AREAS.

BUT KIEWIT, WHEN MEASURING FROM BASICALLY WHEN YOU STAND ON THE SIDEWALK TO THE TIP AT THE TOP OF THE FULL TOP STORY WITH THE SIGN IS ABOUT 103 FEET TALL, GIVE OR TAKE A COUPLE INCHES.

THE ADVENT HOSPITAL SOUTH ELEVATION IS JUST UNDER 100 FEET AT 98 FEET 8 INCHES, AND THE RISE FOR COMPARISON IS 136 FEET 6 INCHES.

WE DID OUR BEST TO SCALE THESE SO THAT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS LOOK LIKE NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

YOU WON'T ACTUALLY SEE THESE BUILDINGS NEXT TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY'RE IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF CITY CENTER.

FOR STREET ACCESS, WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT HOW YOU COULD GET AROUND THE SITE HERE.

AS MENTIONED, THERE'S RENNER AVENUE ALONG THE WEST SIDE,

[02:35:02]

87TH TERRACE ALONG THE NORTH AND REICHERT STREET ALONG THE EAST.

YOU'LL GENERALLY FOLLOW THIS TYPE OF ROUTE AROUND THE BUILDING AND BACK OUT TO THE ROUNDABOUT THERE.

THERE'S ALSO ENTRANCES INTO THE PARKING AREAS WITH THESE LITTLE ARROWS OUTLINED IN RED.

THERE'S ALSO GREAT PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIVITY, AS WE EXPECT IN CITY CENTER.

YOU'LL SEE A GRAND ENTRANCE, PEDESTRIAN TO THE CORNER OF RENNER AND 87TH HERE, LOOKING THROUGH THE CORNER OF THE SITE.

THERE'S ALSO A CONNECTION THAT I BELIEVE IT EXISTS CURRENTLY, BUT IT'LL BE MAINTAINED AND IMPROVED TO THE NORTH HERE, AND THEN ALSO A CONNECTION TO THE WEST TO RENNER.

AGAIN, THIS WILL MAINTAIN WALKABILITY AND CONNECTIVITY WITHIN CITY CENTER.

HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, AND FORGIVE ME, WE DIDN'T HIGHLIGHT EVERY SINGLE BIT OF LANDSCAPING ON HERE, BUT THIS IS MEANT TO SHOW AGAIN, THAT GRAND PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE HERE AT THE CORNER AND SOME NEW LANDSCAPING THAT WILL BE DONE THERE AND SHOW THE USE OF TREES AND FOUNDATION PLANTINGS AROUND THE BUILDING.

NOW, FOR SOME RENDERINGS, THIS IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER.

THIS IS LOOKING FROM 87TH AND RENNER.

THIS IS THE BUILDING ENTRANCE ALONG THAT WEST SIDE.

THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT ON THIS RENDERING, BUT THERE IS A POOL ON TOP OF HERE, YOU'LL SEE IT A DIFFERENT RENDERING.

THEN UP HERE IS THAT ROOFTOP PATIO AND BAR AREA ON THE 11TH STORY.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 11TH STORY IS RESIDENTIAL UNITS, SO IT'S NOT THE ENTIRE 11TH FLOOR.

HERE'S THE NORTHEAST CORNER.

THIS IS WHAT YOU'D SEE IF YOU WERE GOING SOUTHBOUND ON 435 DRIVING BY.

THAT MAIN SOUTHEAST ENTRANCE WITH THE CIRCLE DRIVE.

HERE'S A BETTER PERSPECTIVE SHOWING NOT ONLY THAT POOL I MENTIONED, BUT ALSO HIGHLIGHTING THE ROOFTOP BAR AND RESTAURANT SPACE THAT'S LOCATED HERE.

WITH THAT, STAFF IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE RISE AT 87TH AND RENNER BOULEVARD.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, STEPHANIE QUESTIONS FOR HER BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT, JOHN.

>> THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH THIS, EPANE.

DO YOU KNOW OFF HAND THE AVERAGE PARKING DEVIATIONS IN CITY CENTER? LIKE, DO WE KEEP A RUNNING TALLY? DO WE HAVE A HEAT MAP?

>> I DO NOT HAVE A RUNNING TALLY METRIC FOR YOU.

I CAN TELL YOU SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON IN THE BACKGROUND IS A MASTER MAP OF ALL THE PARKING IN CITY CENTER, AND THAT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS THAT'LL PROBABLY BE USEFUL FOR PROJECTS LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE.

>> MAYOR, IF I COULD ON THAT.

PLEASE. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PARKING IN CITY CENTER, AND TERMS LIKE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND DEVIATIONS ARE REALLY KIND OF MISNOMERS AS IT RELATES TO CITY CENTER.

WE SPECIFICALLY ANTICIPATE THE MIXING OF USES AND THE SHARING OF PARKING, AND WE ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE THAT.

I THINK THAT THERE'S PROBABLY NOT A SINGLE DEVELOPMENT IN CITY CENTER THAT IS FULLY PARKED ACCORDING TO TRADITIONAL SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL CLEAR THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SHORTAGES OR DEVIATIONS OR PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

IN CITY CENTER, THOSE REALLY ARE PROBABLY NOT THE RIGHT TERMS. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS A PARKING STUDY TYPICALLY PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT THAT SHOWS US WHAT THE PARKING NEEDS ARE AND THE TIMES OF DAY THAT THOSE NEEDS EXIST, AND HOW THOSE OVERLAP, AND HOW THEY'RE ABLE TO MAXIMIZE THE SHARING SO THAT THEY CAN MINIMIZE HOW MUCH THEY HAVE TO BUILD.

I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE SOME HELPFUL CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU.

>> WELL, THIS COULD BE FOR 70 OR FOR THE APPLICANT.

OUT OF THE 197 PARKING SPACES PROPOSED, CAN YOU REMIND US HOW MANY ARE SET TO BE PRIVATE OR RENTABLE BY THE RESIDENTS?

>> LET ME GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE FOR YOU.

THE ON STREET SPACES ARE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC PARKING.

EVERYTHING ELSE THERE YOU SEE WOULD BE PRIVATE.

>> THAT WORKS. THANK YOU. THOSE WERE MY QUESTIONS.

>> THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE? CORRECT.

[02:40:01]

>> THE PROPERTY IS PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL, AND MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION MORE FOR THE APPLICANT.

BUT WHEN A PROSPECTIVE RESIDENT RENTS AN APARTMENT, DO THEY AUTOMATICALLY GET AN ASSIGNED PARKING PLACE? ONE VEHICLE, PERHAPS OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW.

>> THAT'D BE A GREAT QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. OKAY.

>> IS THAT ONE FOR THEM? ANYTHING ELSE FOR 70? THE APPLICANT TEAM.

HELLO, EVERYONE.

THANK YOU FOR WAITING FOR US.

MAYOR SAYERS, COUNCIL MEMBERS, MY NAME IS HAL SHAPIRO.

MY ADDRESS IS 8787, RENNER AVENUE.

I AM WITH REAL PROPERTY GROUP.

WE DEVELOPED LAWS AT CITY CENTER.

WE OPENED IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID IN 2020.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE RISE TODAY.

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT.

THE RISE IS BEING PRESENTED AS A 50/50 JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN REAL PROPERTY GROUP AND CO PEKIN BROOKS.

I WANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD THAT CO PEKIN BROOKS IS A VERY GOOD JOINT VENTURE PARTNER.

THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE, AND SO WE HOPE THEY GET EQUAL CREDIT.

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE RISE REALLY CAME FROM THE LOFTS.

WHEN WE BUILT THE LOFTS, IT WAS DESIGNED BY FINKLE WILLIAMS, AND WE ALLOWED GREG FINKLE AND DAVE WILLIAMS TO TAKE A COUPLE OF UNITS ON THE TOP OF THE LOFTS AND COMBINE THEM INTO A COUPLE OF PENTHOUSE UNITS.

SO THEY EACH TOOK TWO UNITS AND TURNED THEM INTO A PENTHOUSE UNIT.

WE WENT FROM 67 UNITS TO 65 UNITS.

WE HAVE 65 RESIDENTIAL UNITS AT THE LOFTS.

WE HAVE 10,000 FEET OF OFFICE OF WHICH FINKLE WILLIAMS IS ONE OF OUR OFFICE TENANTS.

AFTER GREG MOVED IN.

HE BEGAN SENDING ME PHOTOS, TEXTING ME PHOTOS FROM HIS TOP FLOOR APARTMENT, LOOKING OUT TO THE WEST.

THESE PHOTOS WERE BREATHTAKING.

THEY WERE PICTURES OF THE SUNSET, LOOKING OUT OVER CITY CENTER TO THE WEST, AND JUST SOME SPECTACULAR VIEWS, NOT JUST OF THE SUNSETTING, YOU KNOW, IN THE CLOUDS, BUT CITY CENTER IN THE FOREGROUND.

WE WERE PRETTY PROUD OF THOSE.

WE BLEW THEM UP AND PUT THEM ON THE WALLS OF THE LOFTS.

IF YOU WALK INTO LOFTS TODAY, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THOSE PHOTOS.

IT WAS BECAUSE OF THOSE PHOTOS THAT WE BEGAN THINKING WE'VE GOT AN OPPORTUNITY NEXT DOOR HERE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL.

THAT'S WHAT WE INTEND TO DO.

THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE TO DO ON THIS SITE.

THE RISE IS BEING PROPOSED REALLY AS A PROJECT, EXCUSE ME, BY THE COMMUNITY AND FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN DESIGNING IT, ARE ALL PEOPLE THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY INVESTED IN LENEXA CITY CENTER.

I'LL JUST NAME A FEW NAMES.

FINKLE WILLIAMS, REAL PROPERTY GROUP, CO PEKIN AND BROOKS, WHO'S DONE SO MUCH FOR LENEXA CITY CENTER, RENAISSANCE INFRASTRUCTURE CONSULTING, YAEGER ARCHITECTURE.

ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN THE RISE PROJECT IN DIFFERENT AREAS.

I THINK IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT LENEXA CITY CENTER AND WHAT THE CITY'S COMMITTED TO DO AND DELIVERED OVER THE LAST 20 PLUS YEARS THAT FOLKS LIKE US NOT ONLY WANT TO DO A PROJECT, BUT WE WANT TO COME BACK AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL.

THAT'S A LOT OF WHAT THE RISE REPRESENTS HERE TODAY.

>> REAL PROPERTY GROUP PRIDES ITSELF ON PROMOTING COMMUNITY AS AMENITY WITHIN ITS PROJECTS.

I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT TYPE THAT THE RISE IS GOING TO OFFER TO RESIDENTS.

BUT IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPT, AND WE LIKE TO BRING INTO THE BUILDING, AND WE LIKE TO BRING COMMUNITY FROM OUTSIDE INTO THE BUILDING,

[02:45:04]

WE LIKE TO PROMOTE IT WITHIN THE BUILDING.

AT THE TOP OF THE RISE IS A RESTAURANT BAR.

IT'S ACTUALLY ON TOP OF I THINK IT'S ON TOP OF THE 11TH FLOOR.

THERE'S A PROPOSED NAME FOR IT.

THIS IS NOT A COMMITTED NAME, BUT WE HOPE IT'S CALLED THE ZENITH.

WE HOPE IT CAPTURES THE SUNSETS OUT TO THE WEST AND MAKES A REALLY SPECIAL PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GATHER.

IT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND IT WILL BE A ROOFTOP RESTAURANT BAR WITH AN ELEVATED EXPERIENCE.

IT WON'T BE A DINNER PLACE PER SE.

THINK OF IT MORE OF A BEFORE DINNER AND AFTER DINNER PLACE.

OFFERING CRAFT COCKTAILS, SMALL BITES, MAYBE CHARCUTERIE, DESSERTS, THAT THING.

WE HAVE A REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL UP THERE THAT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

IT'S A BIG BUILDING, BUT IT'S A SPECIAL SITE, AND WE CONSIDER TO BE THE GATEWAY TO LENEXA CITY CENTER.

THE LOFTS, HAS THAT BE ROOFTOP SIGN? WHEN YOU'RE ON 87TH AND YOU'RE CRESTING THE HILL AT NIGHT, YOU CAN SEE IT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE TALLER AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT MORE.

WE THINK THAT'S EXCITING FOR LENEXA CITY CENTER. WE HOPE YOU AGREE.

THE PRODUCT TYPE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL IS NOT MULTIFAMILY.

IT IS NOT SENIOR LIVING.

IT'S NOT ASSISTED LIVING.

IT'S NOT INDEPENDENT LIVING.

IT IS A PRODUCT THAT IS KNOWN IN THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AS ACTIVE ADULT.

ACTIVE ADULT HAS AN AGE RESTRICTION COMPONENT.

WHEN I FIRST HEARD OF THIS AGE RESTRICTION, I DON'T LIKE IT, BECAUSE I SEE IN OUR OTHER PROJECTS, THE OLDER FOLKS LIKING TO COMMINGLE WITH THE YOUNGER FOLKS.

I DIDN'T LIKE IT, BUT WE STUDIED IT. HERE'S WHAT WE FOUND.

WE FOUND THAT THERE'S A LOT OF FOLKS THAT DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITH KIDS PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING NOISE AND PARTY, AND THEY WANT TO BE WITH OLDER PEOPLE.

WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE AVERAGE AGE OF RESIDENTS THAT MOVE INTO ACTIVE ADULT ARE ABOUT 70-YEARS-OLD.

NOW, THERE'S OTHER PROJECTS IN THE GREATER KANSAS CITY AREA THAT ARE 55 AGE RESTRICTED.

BUT THERE'S ALSO MAYBE ONLY ONE OR TWO COMPARABLE PROPERTIES.

WHAT MAKES ACTIVE ADULT GO IS TO DESIGN THE BUILDING WITH SPACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN GATHER AND BUILD COMMUNITY.

WHAT ALSO MAKES THE PROJECTS GO IS PROGRAMMING, PROGRAMMING FOR WELLNESS, PROGRAMMING FOR ACTIVITIES, POOL, COOKING, THERE WILL BE A COMMUNITY KITCHEN.

THERE'LL BE A MAKER SPACE.

A LOT OF THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ACTIVE ADULT AREN'T THE BUILDING.

IT'S HOW WE ACTIVATE THE BUILDING.

I WOULD OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNCILMAN DENNY HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE PARKING, AND I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND ANSWER THAT.

EACH RESIDENTIAL UNIT WILL HAVE ONE ASSIGNED COVERED PARKING SPACE AVAILABLE.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS FROM MR. SHAPIRO? JOHN.

>> CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH A LITTLE MORE THE ASSUMPTIONS YOU USED IN THE TABLE PRESENTED IN OUR REPORT, IT WAS THE SEASONAL AND HOURLY MULTIPLICATIVE FACTORS AGAINST PARKING REQUIREMENTS OR PARKING GUIDELINES? CAN YOU JUST WALK US THROUGH HOW YOU LANDED ON SOME OF THOSE FACTORS?

>> SHARED PARKING IS A CONCEPT THAT WE TALK ABOUT A LOT, BUT TO REALLY UNDERSTAND IT, AND I'D LIKE TO THINK I'M A STUDENT OF IT.

I'M NOT A PROFESSOR OF IT, BUT I'D LIKE TO THINK I STUDY IT A LITTLE BIT.

IT BASICALLY SAYS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE UDC, IT SAYS, IF YOU HAVE USE A, IT REQUIRES X NUMBER OF SPACES.

USE TYPE B REQUIRES A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF SPACES,

[02:50:03]

AND THAT KEEPS GOING FOR SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS.

IN MIXED USE PROPERTIES, THERE ARE THERE ARE OVERLAPS, SO TO SPEAK.

IT MAY BE THAT SOMEBODY THAT COMES TO THE OFFICE SPACE AND PARKS IN ONE SPACE GOES UP TO THE RESTAURANT BAR, OR IT MAY BE THAT A RESTAURANT GOES DOWN TO THE I'M SORRY, A RESIDENT GOES TO THE BAR OR USES THE OFFICE SPACE.

THERE IS AN OVERLAP THAT WE CALL SHARED PARKING AND SO THERE ARE METHODS TO GET TO THE PROPERTIES.

YOU COULD COME BY PEOPLE AT THE LOFTS COULD COME OVER, FOR EXAMPLE, AND USE FACILITIES OR GO TO THE ROOFTOP BAR.

PEOPLE COULD PARK AT [INAUDIBLE] AND GO EAT AT DINNER AND WALK OVER TO THE ROOFTOP BAR AFTER DINNER.

THERE'S DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION TO GET THERE.

THEY MIGHT RIDE SHARE.

THEY MIGHT RIDE A BICYCLE.

THEY MIGHT PARK A CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT USES AT OTHER PROPERTIES, DIFFERENT SPACES BEING USED AT OTHER PROPERTIES THAT IS NOT ON OUR SITE, BUT THEY'RE PARKING SOMEWHERE ELSE, AND SO WE DON'T NEED THAT SPACE FOR THEM ON SITE.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFICULT CONCEPT TO EXPLAIN, BUT IN ITS ESSENCE, THERE ARE SPACES THAT ARE NOT NEEDED BECAUSE THEY ARE PARKED OR GET TO THE SITE.

THEY'RE PARKED SOMEWHERE ELSE OR THEY GET TO THE SITE THROUGH A DIFFERENT METHOD.

>> THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH THAT. DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE CONCEPT OF SHARED PARKING.

I KNOW WE'VE SEEN THAT IN A NUMBER OF CASES.

CERTAINLY, I REMEMBER IT FROM REFLECTIONS SOUTH OF HERE.

REALLY MORE SO, WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS INFORMATION ON HOW YOU LANDED ON THOSE SPECIFIC ADJUSTMENTS, BECAUSE THE ONE THING THAT REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME AND I KNOW THIS IS SUPER NIT PICKY, BUT INDULGE ME.

MAY WEEK DAY 7:00 P.M. NEW ROOFTOP BAR MONTH ADJUSTMENT, 80%, PEAK HOUR ADJUSTMENT, 80%, NON CAPTIVE ADJUSTMENT, 80%, MODE ADJUSTMENT, 95%.

TOTAL ADJUSTMENT, 50%.

THAT SPECIFIC LINE, JUST BASED ON CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH RESIDENTS ABOUT HOW EXCITED THEY WOULD BE ABOUT A ROOFTOP BAR.

>> TRULY, I KNOW THIS WOULD BE BUSY ALL THE TIME FROM START TO FINISH EVERY DAY.

WHEN I SEE A TOTAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I HAVE TO START QUESTIONING THE REST OF THE ADJUSTMENTS WITHIN THAT SHARED USE TABLE.

I APPRECIATE THE METHODOLOGY, BUT AGAIN, I'M LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON HOW YOU ARRIVED AT SOME OF THOSE ADJUSTMENTS AND WHETHER THOSE ARE ACTUALLY JUSTIFIABLE.

>> I UNDERSTAND. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN ART.

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A SCIENCE TO IT.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH RESTAURANTS AND BARS, AND PARKING PROBLEMS AS THEY'RE KNOWN TO THE COMMUNITY ARE A PEAK PHENOMENON.

NOBODY CARES HOW MANY EMPTY SPACES EXIST.

AT THE LOFTS, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU'VE NOTICED WE HAVE A PARKING DECK, WE USE IT PREDOMINANTLY FOR OUR OFFICE TENANTS.

WE HAD UNDER THE BUILDING AN OFFICE SPACE ORIGINALLY, WHEN WE DESIGNED IT.

WE WEREN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THE PARKING.

WE GOT RID OF THAT OFFICE SPACE, AND NOW THAT WHOLE DECK IS PARKING UNDERNEATH THE BUILDING.

AT ONE TIME THAT WAS OFFICE SPACE.

WE WERE BEING CONSERVATIVE.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF PARKING ON THAT DECK AND AROUND THE LOFTS.

WE NEVER HAVE A PARKING PROBLEM.

WE HAVE 52 SPACES IN THE GARAGE.

WE HAVE 65 RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE SPACES IN THE GARAGE ASSIGNED TO OFFICE USERS.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH PARKING.

IT IS NOT A SCIENCE.

DOING A SHARED PARKING MODEL IS NOT A SCIENCE.

I WISH I COULD ANSWER YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY, HOW WE CAME UP WITH THOSE PERCENTAGES.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN WE PARK IN OFFICE TODAY, IN A SHARED PARKING ENVIRONMENT, WE LIKE ABOUT THREE SPACES.

BUT I'LL ALSO TELL YOU, THREE SPACES 1,000. I'M SORRY.

BUT I'LL ALSO TELL YOU AT 5:00, WE DON'T NEED ANY OF THEM. THEY'RE GONE.

IT IS IN THAT VEIN THAT WE KNOW THAT THE ROOFTOP BAR AND THE OFFICE PARKING SHARE WELL FOR THE RISE.

WE KNOW THAT. IT WILL SHARE VERY WELL.

I WILL ALSO TELL YOU BECAUSE I'M SURE THIS WON'T BE THE LAST QUESTION ON PARKING THAT WE HAVE A BACKUP PLAN.

I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND LAY THAT ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE CONTROL THE LOFTS.

[02:55:04]

WE HAVE A PARKING DECK WITH 34 SPACES.

WE HAVE NINE PRIVATE SPACES, AND WE ARE IN NEGOTIATIONS RIGHT NOW WITH THE OPERATOR OF THE ZENITH.

THEY'VE RAISED A QUESTION ABOUT PARKING.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE AS CONCERNED ABOUT AS ANYBODY.

THEY WANT PLENTY OF PARKING.

WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, IF NEEDED TO DO A LONG TERM LEASE ON THE PRIVATE SPACES THAT THE LOFTS CONTROLS TO THE OPERATOR OF THE ZENITH, IF WE CHOOSE.

THAT'S OUR BACKUP PLAN. I DON'T THINK WE'LL NEED IT.

BUT AT PEAK TIMES, WE'LL SEE.

TO YOUR POINT, WE DON'T KNOW HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT ROOFTOP RESTAURANT BAR IS GOING TO BE.

AT TIMES, IT'S GOING TO BE HUGELY SUCCESSFUL, BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE PLENTY OF TIMES WHEN IT'S NOT.

WE WANT TO PLAN FOR PEAK PARKING, BUT I CAN TELL YOU FROM BEING THE LANDLORD AND MANAGER OF MANY RESTAURANTS FOR 30 YEARS.

PEAK IS WHAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT. THAT'S ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.

I'LL ALSO TELL YOU THAT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEAK PARKING, YOU'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD.

THIS SITE, I KNOW SCOTT DOESN'T LIKE TO HEAR THIS AT ALL, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT SITE IN CITY CENTER LENEXA.

I'M NOT GOING TO CALL IT A CUL DE SAC.

I'M GOING TO CALL IT A DESTINATION.

TO GET TO THIS SITE, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT ON RENNER.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LEFT TURN AND EITHER GO IN FRONT OF THE LOFTS OR ROUND BY JACK STACK.

IF THERE'S TRAFFIC ON THIS SITE, IT'S GOING TO BE BECAUSE OF THIS SITE.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE SOMEBODY'S USING IT AS A THOROUGHFARE TO GET SOMEPLACE ELSE.

NOW, WE DON'T WANT TRAFFIC.

WE DON'T WANT JAMS. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A PEAK PARKING PROBLEM.

BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO OVER PARK IT.

THAT DOESN'T SERVE ANYBODY EITHER.

>> I THINK I MIGHT ALSO USE THE SAME LOGIC THAT WE DID ON THE LAST ONE THAT WE'RE REVIEWING THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT EXISTS CURRENTLY, AND THIS WON'T BE BUILT TOMORROW.

WE HAVE SECOND PHASE OF RESTAURANT ROAD, WHICH INCLUDES A PARKING STRUCTURE.

THERE IS ADDITIONAL SPACES IN THE HOTEL ACROSS THE STREET THAT ARE GOING TO OPEN.

THEN THE FREEDOM OF EVERY STREET IN CITY CENTER FOR STREET PARKING THAT WE PROBABLY CAN'T EVEN QUANTIFY.

LET'S NOT GET OBSESSED WITH THE EXACT NUMBER OF SPACES IN THIS BUILDING, BECAUSE TO BECKY'S POINT, IT'S AN ECOSYSTEM THAT WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE. COURTNEY.

>> I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING IN THE LOFTS.

IT'S GORGEOUS. IT'S PRETTY.

LOVE THE PATIO THAT'S UP THERE.

HOW MUCH OF THIS BUILDING IS GOING TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I CAN'T JUST GO IN THERE AND HANG OUT ON THE DECK AT THE LOFTS AS SOMEBODY OFF THE STREET.

WHAT AMENITIES WITHIN THIS BUILDING ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND HOW IS THAT STRUCTURED WITHIN IT TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN GO AND GO TO THE PRIME SOCIAL OF LENEXA UP ON THE ROOFTOP BAR.

THAT'S WHAT I'M ENVISIONING, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.

HOW DOES THAT ENTRANCE WORK? HOW DO WE SHARE THAT WITH THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WHAT IS AND ISN'T AVAILABLE TO THEM OUT OF THAT BUILDING?

>> THE LOFTS IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.

OFFICE HOURS, SAY, AND THEN CLOSED AFTER OFFICE HOURS.

THERE WAS A TIME YOU COULD GO OUT TO THE TERRACE AND GET OUT THERE, IF YOU WERE A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.

THE KANSAS HEALTH DEPARTMENT DIDN'T LIKE THAT WITH THE POOL.

THEY WANTED EVERYTHING SECURED, SO THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.

AT THE RISE, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT TO THE POOL WITHOUT A FOB BY KDH STANDARDS.

THE ROOFTOP BAR IT'LL ALWAYS BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

THE LOBBY THAT'S ENTERED FROM THE EAST SIDE, WHICH IS REALLY CONSIDERED MORE OF A RESIDENTIAL OFFICE AREA, THAT'LL BE OPEN DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.

IT FEELS LIKE A HOTEL LOBBY.

IT'LL HAVE THAT HOSPITALITY FEEL.

BUT AGAIN, THE BUILDING, OTHER THAN THE RISE, OTHER THAN THE ZENITH, THE RESTAURANT BAR WILL ONLY BE OPEN DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS AFTER NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS, THE ONLY PART OF THE BUILDING THAT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC IS THE ROOFTOP BAR.

>> WHAT HOURS WOULD THEY RUN? I MEAN, ARE THEY OPEN ALL DAY OR ARE THEY OPEN JUST EVENING?

>> IT'LL BE UP TO THE OPERATOR.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN THAT FAR WITH THEM YET.

[03:00:02]

>> GOT IT. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE IS, THIS IS CLEARLY, LIKE THE MAJOR INTERSECTION, THE MAJOR THING THAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU PULL UP INTO OUR CITY, AND IT'S LARGE, AND IT OVERSHADOWS ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON IN CITY CENTER, DO WE HAVE SOME TYPE OF PICTURE OR IS THIS IT? LIKE, WHEN I PULL UP ON 435 IS THIS WHAT I'M GOING TO SEE AS FAR AS NOT SEEING THE OTHER BUILDINGS BECAUSE IT'S BLOCKED.

I GUESS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.

RIGHT NOW, I PULL UP INTO 435, AND ALL I SEE IS KEWI BIG YELLOW SIGN.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT ANYMORE IF THIS BUILDING GOES UP.

TOTALLY OKAY WITH THAT, MAKING ASSUMPTIONS.

I'M JUST ASKING, IN RELATIVITY, ARE THESE IS THIS RENDERING SPATIALLY RIGHT WITH THE LOFTS? I GUESS I FEEL LIKE I WHICH CORNER OR DIRECTION, AM I LOOKING SOUTH WEST OR I.

>> YOU'RE HOVERING UP IN THE AIR IN THIS VIEW.

>> I THINK WE HAVE MORE RENDERINGS IN OUR PRESENTATION.

THAT'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT BETTER SENSE.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO HOLD ON.

>> YEAH. GO AHEAD. WHY DON'T YOU DO YOURS.

>> YEAH, LET'S HEAR FROM FINKLE WILLIAMS. HI.

>> MADAM MAYOR.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL.

JOHN GAR FINKLE WILLIAMS. I ALSO HAVE A RENAISSANCE INFRASTRUCTURE.

CIVIL ENGINEERING HERE.

CHIP CORCORAN IS HERE WITH ME AS WELL.

STAFF DID A GREAT JOB OF PRESENTING THIS, SO I WON'T BELABOR IT TOO MUCH QUICKLY, WHAT YOU'RE VIEWING HERE IS DESCRIBED.

THE BASE OF THE BUILDING IS LIKE A LIMESTONE CUT LOOK TO THE BUILDING.

THE BODY OF THE BUILDING IS A MASONRY, A REAL BRICK STRUCTURE WITH METAL EXTENT PANELS THAT GOES UP INTO THE ROOF AREA AND THEN AS MUCH GLASS AS WE POSSIBLY CAN FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN AN OFFICE ENVIRONMENT OR IN A RESIDENCE.

THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE MAIN APARTMENT BUILDING, SO A PORTICO SHARE.

A DROP OFF AREA FOR THOSE THAT WOULD BE YOUR GUESTS THAT LIVE HERE IN ACCENT.

THIS GIVES YOU A QUICK SITE PLAN RELATIVE TO THE CORNER OF 87TH AND RINNER BOULEVARD.

WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE SITE.

CRAIG, THIS GIVES YOU THAT FIRST LEVEL.

THERE'S ONE LEVEL THAT'S BENCHED INTO THE EARTH.

IT'S ABOVE GRADE ON THE WEST.

IT'S IN THE GRADE ON THE EAST SO THAT YOU COME IN TO THAT CIRCLE DRIVE ON TOP OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE.

THE ENTRANCE TO THIS PARKING STRUCTURE IS THROUGH THE PRIVATE DRIVE THAT'S BETWEEN THE LOFTS.

IT'S RIGHT DOWN THERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

ON THE NORTH SIDE, WE HAVE A MOVE IN DOCK, SO THERE'S AN AREA THERE, AND THEN THERE IS TRASH ALONG THAT NORTH WHERE IT SHOOTS AND IT'S WITHIN A TRASH ROOM THAT'S HIDDEN BEHIND OVERHEAD DOORS, GARAGE DOORS ALONG THAT NORTH SIDE.

THAT GIVES YOU THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE GARAGE.

THEN THIS IS THAT ONE LEVEL ON TOP OF THE PODIUM.

YOU'RE SEEING THE CIRCLE DRIVE, THE AMENITY AREA, WHICH SERVES EVERYBODY THAT'S LIVING THERE IN THE DEVELOPMENT.

THEN THE EAST WEST CORRIDOR, WHICH HAS A LOBBY ON THE WEST END, OR IT'S ALSO A LOBBY OFF OF THE PARKING THAT'S SERVING PUBLIC THAT WOULD BE COMING TO VISIT THOSE IN THE OFFICE SPACE OR TO BE GOING TO THE ROOFTOP BAR.

THESE ARE TYPICAL PLANS.

ON THE LEFT, IT SHOWS YOU A TYPICAL LAYOUT OF THE UPPER LEVEL APARTMENTS.

THE PLAN ON THE RIGHT IS THE VERY TOP FLOOR WITH THE LITTLE BIT LARGER PENTHOUSE UNITS AND SOME AMENITY SPACE AND THE ROOFTOP BAR.

THE ROOFTOP BAR HAS PART INSIDE AND PART OUTSIDE TERRACE THAT IS BEING USED.

THEN IMAGE, YOU'VE SEEN THESE WALKING UP FROM CITY CENTERS, SO THAT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO THAT LOBBY ENTRANCE ON THAT END, GETTING A LITTLE BIT CLOSER AND THEN WALKING ALONG THAT WESTERN EDGE WHERE YOU SEE THE GARAGE AT THAT LOWER LEVEL AND AN ENTRANCE TO THE OFFICE SPACE.

THEN THIS IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER.

THIS IS A PRIVATE ACCESS AND EGRESS ACCESS TO THAT TERRACE.

[03:05:03]

THE RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO COME AND GO FROM THAT CORNER OF THE TERRACE AND THE SITE.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE ROAD IS SLOPING UP IN BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS SO THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA HOW THE BUILDING IS TUCKED INTO THE HILL.

THEN THIS IS AN IMAGE, SIMILAR IMAGE, BUT WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT AT DUSK OR IN THE EVENING.

WE REALLY THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL ON THE SKYLINE, AND WE REALLY ARE GOING TO PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO SOME REALLY NICE LIGHTING AND MAKING IT A FEATURE FOR THE ENTRANCE TO THE LENEXA CITY CENTER.

THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.

ANY QUESTIONS? HAPPY TO ANSWER.

>> MARK.

>> I HAVE JUST A QUICK ONE. I KNOW THERE'S A PARKING THERE'S ALWAYS A CONCERN.

IS THERE ANY ABILITY TO JUST POSSIBLY LAND BANK OF STUFF A LITTLE BIT ON THE OUTER ROAD THERE OR IS IT JUST TWO MINUTE ISSUES WITH THE SETBACKS AND STUFF OR?

>> WITH WHAT'S THERE AND WHAT THE LIMITS OF UTILITIES AND THE RIGHT OF WAY, WE HAVE BOTH PARALLEL PARKING WHERE WE CAN'T DO THE ANGLED PARKING.

WE HAVE ANGLED PARKING EVERYWHERE WE CAN.

THE BUILDING IS AT THE PROPERTY LINE, SO WE'RE NOT OBVIOUSLY PARKING ON PROPERTY.

THE PUBLIC PARKING IS EITHER PARALLEL OR THE ANGLED.

THEN WE ARE ACTUALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT PRIVATE DRIVE THAT'S IN BETWEEN, AND THERE'S THOSE 90 DEGREE SPACES, ABOUT 17 OF THOSE.

IT'S AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE'RE TALKING A LOT ABOUT PARKING AND ALL THESE DEVELOPMENTS REALLY ARE DRIVEN BY THAT KIND OF THING.

THE LIFE OF AN ARCHITECT IS PLANNING FOR PARKING, NOT FOR THE BEAUTIFUL SPACES THAT WE LIVE IN, BUT THIS IS A RESULT OF MAXIMIZING THAT, AND WE WILL SQUEEZE EVERY PARKING SPACE WE CAN. BELIEVE ME.

>> YEAH. THANK YOU.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS.

>> I THINK THIS IS BECKY.

I WAS SOMEWHERE AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE, WHERE I WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE AND IT SAID, NO OVERNIGHT PARKING.

DO WE HAVE ANY OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS?

>> WE DO NOT ALLOW OVERNIGHT PARKING IN OUR PUBLIC GARAGE.

>> BUT THE SHARED GARAGE WITH THE AQUATIC CENTER? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO WOULD PARK, AND I'M ASSUMING A RESIDENT HAD TWO CARS.

THEY PARK ONE DOWNSTAIRS IN SIGNS SLOT, AND THEY LEAVE ANOTHER ONE IN A PARKING GARAGE.

>> ANY STRUCTURE WHERE THE CITY IS AN OWNER, NO OVERNIGHT PARKING IS ALLOWED.

SO WE ARE A PARTIAL OWNER OF THE WHEREVER IT IS.

THE AQUATIC CENTER GARAGE.

NO OVERNIGHT PARKING IS ALLOWED THERE.

ELSEWHERE, THERE'S RESERVE PARKING IN CERTAIN PORTIONS OF OTHER GARAGES THAT ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND DON'T HAVE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, BUT THEY ALSO ALLOW PUBLIC PARKING AT CERTAIN TIMES.

I COULDN'T TELL YOU IF THOSE HAVE OVERNIGHT PARKING RESTRICTIONS, BUT I CAN IMAGINE THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO NECESSARILY GO AND PARK AT THE HYATT PLACE PARKING LOT AND JUST LEAVE YOUR CAR THERE OVERNIGHT.

THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM AMONGST THE PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE CITY CENTER, EAST DEVELOPMENT AND THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE WOULD WANT NOR EXPECT TO SEE RESIDENTS IN CITY CENTER JUST SELECTING OTHER PARKING SPACES AND PARKING THERE SORT OF PERMANENTLY.

>> THANKS.

>> CHELSEA.

>> TWO SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

ON THE AGE REQUIREMENT, IF YOU HAVE A MARRIED COUPLE, DO THEY BOTH HAVE TO BE 55+ OR SIMPLY ONE QUALIFIES VERSUS THE OTHER?

>> I HAVEN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT QUESTION.

BUT I'M GOING TO SAY THAT WE WILL HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IN THAT REGARD.

THAT'S MORE OF A PROGRAMMING.

I THINK I'M GOING TO SAY THAT IF ONE PERSON MEETS THE REQUIREMENT THAT THEY BOTH DO.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY AND HOLD US TO THAT, IF YOU WANT.

>> ANY IDEA ON WHAT PRICE POINT THESE UNITS ARE GOING TO RUN?

>> YEAH. THEY'RE GOING TO START IN THE LOW 2,000S, AND THEY'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE 4,000.

>> THANK YOU.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? BILL.

>> I JUST WISH I WAS AS ELOQUENT AS OUR FRIEND TOM NOLTE,

[03:10:05]

BECAUSE THIS REALLY LOOKS GOOD, AND THIS WILL SET CITY CENTER OFF AND AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE OVER THE 20, 25 YEARS, MAYBE EVEN 30 YEARS BEGINNING WITH OUR FRIEND JOAN BOWMAN WHO ENVISIONED A NEW CENTER AND A NEW GATHERING PLACE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TOUCHED IT AND BROUGHT IT TO FRUITION, AND IT'S JUST GREAT.

THIS IS JUST REALLY NICE. THANK YOU.

>> YOU MIGHT SAY THAT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE IS A CAR WASH.

YES. COURTNEY, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE?

>> I HAVE COMMENTS.

>> WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ONE, TOO, SO WE CAN DO THAT BEFORE YOU GUYS DELIBERATE OR WE CAN WAIT UNTIL AFTER.

I DO SEE THERE ARE A COUPLE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, AS WITH THE LAST ITEM.

WE DID RECEIVE ALL THE EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS, DISTRIBUTED THOSE TO THE ENTIRE GOVERNING BODY, BUT IF ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING, WE'LL ALLOW UP TO THREE MINUTES PER PERSON.

SPEAK OVER HERE, SIGN IN OVER THERE.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE RISE.

>> MAYOR, COUNCIL, MY NAME IS DAVID HANKS.

I LIVE AT 22635 WEST 89, THE WATERCREST LANDING SUBDIVISION, WARD 1.

I'LL MAKE MY COMMENTS BRIEF GIVEN THE LATE HOUR.

AESTHETICALLY, I'M NOT REAL THRILLED ABOUT 11 STORY STRUCTURE.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO OBSTRUCT THE SKYLINE.

IT'LL BE A INCUMBRANCE, IF YOU WILL, TO WHAT IS ALREADY THERE.

I WON'T SPEAK VERY LONG ABOUT THE PARKING SITUATION.

IT IS A CONCERN.

I THINK THERE'S A SOLUTION FOR THAT, AND THAT IS TO REDUCE THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING.

YOU'LL INCREASE THE RATIO OF PARKING TO AVAILABILITY.

NOISE. WHERE I LIVE, I'M ABOUT ONE QUARTER OF A MILE EAST OF K7.

I CAN CLEARLY HEAR TRAFFIC ON K7, AND I CAN CLEARLY HEAR TRAFFIC ON PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

THIS STRUCTURE HAS BALCONIES ON THE EAST SIDE.

I HOPE THAT PEOPLE THAT HAVE THOSE APARTMENTS WITH A BALCONY.

I HOPE THEY ENJOY TRACTOR TRAILER TRAFFIC OFF OF 435, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT THERE.

THE LANDSCAPE SKETCH OR PLAN THAT WE SAW, I HOPE THAT THERE ARE NO PETS ALLOWED AT THIS FACILITY, BECAUSE IF THERE ARE, THEY'LL BE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HAVING A PET.

ON 87TH STREET, THERE IS TRAFFIC LIGHT AT MAUER GOING WESTBOUND.

AT MAUER THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THE EAST SIDE OF 435.

THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THE WEST SIDE OF 435, AND THERE'S A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT RINNER.

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MAUER AND THE EAST SIDE OF 435 IS 800 FEET.

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDE OF 435 IS 700 FEET.

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THE WEST SIDE OF 435 AND RINNER IS 600 FEET.

MY POINT BEING IT'S COMPRESSING AND I'VE TRAVELED ON 87TH STREET DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

IT CAN BE A PROBLEM AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY.

NOW, WE'RE ADDING THIS 11 STORY, HOPEFULLY NOT.

BUT WE'RE ADDING THIS STRUCTURE WITH INCREASED TRAFFIC.

I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO MANEUVER THROUGH THE CITY SQUARE OR CITY CENTER AREA AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY.

I THINK THAT THOSE ARE REAL CONCERNS WITH REGARDS TO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ALONG 87TH STREET.

I GUESS, ESSENTIALLY, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU, MR HANKS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> ANYONE ELSE PUBLIC COMMENT? WE'LL RETURN TO COUNCIL MEMBER DELIBERATIONS.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? WHY NOT, JOHN?

>> SURE. I SHARE THOSE CONCERNS ABOUT THE HEIGHT.

THE REST OF CITY CENTER AS IT WAS DEVELOPING, IF WE HAD HAD EVERYTHING UP MAYBE TWO MORE LEVELS, THIS WOULD STILL STAND OUT.

THIS WOULD STILL BE THE ZENITH, THE ASTERISK, THE STAR OF THE SHOW.

BUT WHEN OUR TALLEST BUILDING IS STILL 30-40 FEET SHORTER,

[03:15:05]

IT FEELS CONTEXTUALLY INAPPROPRIATE.

IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT FITS, BASICALLY, WE'VE CREATED OUR OWN PLAZA BOWL SITUATION, AND I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE 11 STORIES IS APPROPRIATE, BUT I'D BE INTERESTED TO BE CONVINCED OTHERWISE.

IT DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT.

>> WHAT IS OUR POLICY ON ALLOWABLE BUILDING HEIGHT? I ASKED TO POINT.

IN DOING MY RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT ADVENT INITIALLY WANTED EIGHT STORIES, BUT WE ONLY ALLOWED THEM FIVE.

>> STEPHANIE HAD A SLIDE ON THAT.

>> YEAH, MAYOR, THE CODE HAS A HEIGHT LIMIT OF 110 FEET, EXCEPT THAT CAN BE EXCEEDED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN WHILE I HAVE THE MICROPHONE, I WILL JUST SHARE MY PERSPECTIVE, HEIGHT IS A MATTER OF, I THINK, SOMETIMES SUBJECTIVITY IN A PLACE LIKE CITY CENTER.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE CONFERENCE CENTER, ALTHOUGH IT'S ONLY ABOUT, I THINK, 70 FEET TALL, READS LIKE AN EIGHT STORY BUILDING.

KEWIT READS TALLER THAN IT IS WITH ITS TALL FLOORS AND ITS ROOFTOP.

WE REQUIRED A A FOUR LEVEL TO CARRY THE SIGN AND SOME LIGHTED WINDOWS AND THINGS.

I DON'T DISAGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HANLEY THAT IF WE HAD TO DO IT OVER AGAIN, I WISH CITY CENTER WAS TALLER.

BUT I THINK ALSO A DOWNTOWN TYPE AREA IS IN NEED OF A LITTLE VARIATION IN HEIGHT TO MAKE IT INTERESTING, WE'RE A LITTLE MONOTONE IN THAT SENSE, THIS SITE, IN PARTICULAR, SCREAMS TO BE AN ICONIC GATEWAY TO CITY CENTER.

THAT WAS THE PERSPECTIVE THAT STAFF HELD, AT LEAST IN WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT GROUP.

IF IT WAS MUCH TALLER, I WOULD TEND TO AGREE THAT CONTEXTUALLY THAT'S GETTING PRETTY TALL.

BUT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE SITE AND THE CONFERENCE CENTER REED AND THE LOFTS AT FIVE PLUS STORY REED.

I DON'T HAVE THE CONCERN FOR THAT.

I THINK IT HAS MERIT IN WHAT IT'S PRESENTING HERE.

>> OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> I HAVE A COMMENT.

>> COURTNEY.

>> AT FACE VALUE, I THINK THIS IS A PRETTY BUILDING.

I LIKE WHAT IT IS.

I'M NOT EVEN CONCERNED WITH THE PARKING SO MUCH.

WE'VE GOT 120 UNITS IN THE MIDDLE OF CITY CENTER.

I THINK THAT THAT'S APPROPRIATE.

AS FAR AS TRAFFIC GOES, WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT IT BEING A DESTINATION, YOU CAN'T GET INTO THIS VERY EASILY UNLESS YOU'RE GOING THERE.

THEY'RE NOT PULLING OUT ONTO 87TH STREET FROM THE PARKING LOT OF THE BUILDING? THEY HAVE TO GO BACK UP OUT OF THE LOFTS BACK AROUND THE ROUNDABOUT AND COME BACK OR BACK THROUGH RIGHT HAND TURN AND GET OUT TO THE TRAFFIC, SO THOSE CONCERNS ARE AREN'T WHAT I HAVE.

MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS EXACTLY WHAT JOHN SAID THAT THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE AS FAR AS THE HEIGHT OF THIS BUILDING.

I'M OKAY WITH MAKING A STATEMENT ON THAT CORNER, BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT IS IT TOO MUCH TALLER THAN THE REST OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS.

I UNDERSTAND WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO AS FAR AS HAVING THE VIEW TO GO ABOVE THE REST OF THE BUILDINGS.

THAT'S WHY I WAS LOOKING FOR THE RENDERINGS.

LIKE, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE WHEN THE HOTELS GO? BECAUSE THE HOTELS GO UP AT AN ANGLE.

ARE WE STILL HITTING THE SAME EYE LEVEL? WOULD IT STILL BE EYE LEVEL VIEW IF YOU'RE STANDING AT THE TOP OF THE ZENITH? ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE HOTEL? ARE YOU LOOKING ABOVE THE HOTEL? I DON'T HAVE THAT CONTEXTUALIZATION FOR WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IF YOU'RE LOOKING WEST.

THANK YOU. BUT WITH THE ELEVATION OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS, I DON'T KNOW REALLY WHERE THAT FALLS IN.

I GUESS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.

I I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT. I LIKE IT.

I LIKE BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT A REAL GRASP OF HOW IT FITS IN WITH THE REST OF WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BUILT, AND ARE WE SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR TALLER BUILDINGS TO MATCH IT, OR IS IT GOING TO STAND OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS BEHIND IT.

>> I THINK I CAN TAKE THIS ONE BECAUSE HEIGHT IS ALSO A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE,

[03:20:04]

SO KIEWIT LOOKS ENORMOUS WHEN YOU'RE STANDING RIGHT UNDER IT, BUT WHEN YOU'RE SITTING ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT THAT BIG IN THE DISTANCE.

YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THIS IN TERMS OF, YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE APPROACHING IT FROM 435 AND 87TH, BUT YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO BE APPROACHING IT FROM THE WEST, DRIVING IN THIS WAY, WHERE IT'S GOING TO LOOK REALLY SMALL FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE.

I DON'T THINK A LIMITED VIEW OF JUST WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE FROM THE HIGHWAY IS A FAIR WAY TO LOOK AT IT EITHER BECAUSE YOU APPROACH THESE THINGS FROM ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, AND THEY LOOK A DIFFERENT SCALE, DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE IN RELATION TO THEM.

I TEND TO BELIEVE THAT SCOTT IS RIGHT, TOO, THAT WE SHOULDN'T MAKE THIS ALL MONOTONOUS, THAT HAVING A TALLER BUILDING AT THIS CORNER SO YOU CAN LOOK ACROSS EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE CREATED IS COOL.

>> MAYOR?

>> YES.

>> IF I COULD JUST ADD TO THAT, I THINK IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT YOUR POINT, COUNCILMEMBER ABOUT, ARE WE SETTING A PRECEDENT FOR TALLER BUILDINGS? THE ANSWER THAT I WOULD GIVE YOU TO THAT IS, GOSH, I HOPE SO.

LAND IS A FINITE RESOURCE, AND SOMETHING THAT HAS BECOME REALLY APPARENT TO ME AFTER SPENDING NEARLY THREE DECADES WORKING ON CITY CENTER AS A CONCEPT IS THAT WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF LAND HERE, AND WE SPEND, AND THE MAYOR HAS BEEN IN MEETINGS RECENTLY, SO I KNOW THAT SHE'LL AGREE WITH ME.

WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH DEVELOPERS WHO WANT TO DEVELOP PROJECTS THAT DON'T MEET THE STANDARDS THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S ALREADY HERE HAVE MET.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, ARE USING UP WHAT ARE FINITE RESOURCES IN TERMS OF LAND LEFT AVAILABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT IN CITY CENTER IN A WAY THAT I DON'T THINK IS MERITED.

WE'RE FIGHTING OFF PROJECTS THAT AREN'T DENSE ENOUGH THAT AREN'T MIXED USE THAT DON'T MEET CITY CENTER STANDARDS REGULARLY, AND SO I FEEL LIKE WHEN CITY CENTER IS COMPLETELY DEVELOPED, AND WE'RE LOOKING BACK ON THIS, WE'RE GOING TO WISH THAT MORE BUILDINGS WERE TALLER THAN THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.

WE'VE WORKED WITH MR. SHAPIRO AND HIS TEAM ON THIS FOR YEARS.

HONESTLY, THE SITE FOR YEARS, MULTIPLE PROJECTS, SOME OF THE LONGER TENURED AMONG YOU WILL REMEMBER SOME OF THE PAST RENDITIONS OF PROJECTS THAT WE LOOKED AT ON THE SITE.

>> I'VE BEEN A DOG BAR.

>> [LAUGHTER] HONESTLY, IN A RECENT CONVERSATION WITH MR. SHAPIRO, WE BOTH SAID, WE'RE SO GRATEFUL THAT THE THINGS WE LOOKED AT BEFORE DIDN'T COME TO FRUITION BECAUSE THIS IS TRULY LIKE, MAXIMIZING THE ENTRANCE TO CITY CENTER IN A REALLY ICONIC WAY.

IN MY VIEW, MAXIMIZING WHAT IS A VERY MUCH A DIMINISHING RESOURCE IN CITY CENTER, SO I HOPE WE ARE SETTING THE TREND TO HAVE TALLER BUILDINGS.

I'LL ALSO TELL YOU THAT I'VE BEEN IN RECENT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AN EXISTING TENANT THAT WE'RE ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH IN CITY CENTER THAT DESIRES TO EXPAND, AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO GO TALLER WITH THEIR EXPANSION AS WELL.

I DON'T THINK THAT WE WON'T SEE TALLER BUILDINGS.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO STAND OUT IN A WAY THAT IS INAPPROPRIATE, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT STAFF WOULDN'T BE SUPPORTING IT IF WE FELT THAT IT WAS.

>> CHELSEA.

>> BECKY, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT BECAUSE ONE OF MY CONCERNS WAS THE HEIGHT AS WELL.

BUT YOU'VE EASED MY CONCERNS A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE I DID FEEL LIKE COURTNEY AND JOHN THAT THIS WAS GOING TO STICK OUT.

BUT YOU MAKE A VERY GOOD POINT ABOUT DIMINISHING RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE, AND IF WE CAN'T GO THIS WAY, WE'VE GOT TO GO THIS WAY.

REMINDING ME THAT THAT'S THE VERY PURPOSE AND THE VERY VISION THAT WE HAD FOR CITY CENTER WAS A SKYLINE, SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT BACK IN PERSPECTIVE. I APPRECIATE IT.

>> BELL?

>> THANKS, MAYOR, AND THANKS, BECKY.

CHELSEA, I LIKE I HOPE WE HAVE A SKYLINE, AND ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK THIS IS GOOD. THANK YOU.

>> NOBODY HAS ANYTHING ELSE. I DID ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT I'VE HAD SOME TIME TO SPEND AT THE CURRENT BUILDING BEHIND THIS, AND I DO THINK THAT IT'S VERY EXCITING TO IMAGINE A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THIS BUILDING TOGETHER, WHO PLAY MAHJONG, AND GO TO THE POOL TOGETHER AND OUR THIS ECOSYSTEM WITHIN CITY CENTER, THE SAME WAY THAT WE'VE SEEN WITH YOUR OTHER PROPERTY, WITH PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE DOMAIN.

I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND THIS BUILDING.

WE'LL GET LINUX CITY CENTER,

[03:25:01]

AND THAT'S THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WANT, SO THANK YOU FOR STICKING TO IT.

WE BELIEVE IN YOUR VISION, TOO, AND I PERSONALLY AM HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT. MARK.

>> I REALLY LIKE THE PROJECT.

I ALWAYS KNOW I LIKE THE PROJECT WHEN MY WIFE HAS THE OPPOSITE VIEW.

[LAUGHTER] SHE BROUGHT THIS PROJECT UP TO ME BEFORE.

I EVEN KNEW ABOUT IT, AND WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I WAS LIKE, THAT'S AWESOME.

I EVEN STORY BUILDING IN LENEXA.

BUT ANYWAY, SO I WASN'T I WASN'T BASHFUL ABOUT THE HEIGHT YOU LOOK AT THE LOFTS, AND AND IT'S GOING TO BE HALF THE SIZE.

BUT I WAS I WAS LEAVING TEXAS GRILL THE OTHER DAY, I LOOKED UP.

I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE DOUBLE THE HEIGHT OF THE LOFT.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA BE BAD AT ALL.

BUT WHO WE'RE TRYING TO SHADOW THAT FROM.

ALL THE VIEWS ARE GOING TO BE FROM THE ZENITH THE CAR WASH MIGHT NOT HAVE AS MANY VIEWS FROM THE HIGHWAY, BUT THEY HAVE TO LOOK ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, SO I DON'T THINK WE'RE BLOCKING ANY VIEWS FOR THAT HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING, AND I THINK IT MAKES A STATEMENT.

I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PARKING.

I DID TALK TO SCOTT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ABOUT THE CONSENT AGENDA.

LAND BANKING AND TRYING TO GET A FEW MORE SPOTS OVER AT THE RESTAURANT ROW AREA? I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY AVENUES.

I MENTIONED THERE'S LITTLE POCKETS OF LAND AND GRASS AND STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ADDITIONAL LAND BANKING WE COULD DO IF THE NEED HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE.

I'M ALWAYS LOVING TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WAYS TO SHOEHORN STUFF IN AS AN ARCHITECT.

BUT I REALLY SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.

I REALLY THINK IT MAKES A STATEMENT, AND ONE QUESTION I DID ASK OR WHAT I ASK.

IS THERE ANY DESIRE HAS THERE BEEN A MODEL TO ACTUALLY BE CONDO THIS AND ACTUALLY SELL THE UNITS OR IS THAT NOT IN THE PICTURE?

>> PERSONALLY, I UNDERSTAND THE RENTAL MARKET.

MY PERSONAL BELIEF IS THAT IN KANSAS CITY, CONDOS HAVE WORKED ON THE PLAZA AND NOT REALLY ANYWHERE ELSE.

THAT'S MY PERSONAL BELIEF, SO I'M A RENTAL GUY.

I SUPPORT IT. THANK YOU.

>> MELANIE.

>> CAN WE GO BACK AND PULL UP A RENDERING OF THE BUILDING, PLEASE?

>> THE ONE AT NIGHT IS THE BEST ONE.

>> YES. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

>> THAT LIGHT DETAIL.

>> SURE. I'M EXCITED FOR THAT.

I THINK IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND IT'S GOING TO BE I DON'T KNOW, LIKE THIS SHINY ACCESSORY THAT CITY CENTER NEEDS, S I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME THOUGHTS.

I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF THE BALCONIES.

BUT I GUESS RENDERINGS NEVER DO IT JUSTICE, SO I AM ALSO AWARE OF THAT.

BUT IT DOES LOOK A LITTLE CROWDED, AND THEN I WORRY ABOUT LIKE IF I WAS IN ONE OF THOSE BALCONIES, COULD I HEAR THE CONVERSATION NEXT THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE BALCONY NEXT TO ME? YOU YOU THERE'S PRIVACY.

THESE LOOK THE BALCONIES IN THE CORNERS OF THE BUILDING, TOO.

THOSE ARE VERY TASTEFUL.

THEY'RE VERY PRETTY. YEAH. BUT THESE ON THE SIDES, THEY JUST LOOK A LITTLE CLUTTERED IN MY OPINION.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BUILDING.

>> SAYING NOTHING ELSE.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR THE MEX USE DEVELOPMENT KNOWN AS THE RISE.

MOTION BY MARK.

>> SECOND.

>> SECOND BY CHELSEA.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES.

ITEM NUMBER 15 IS THE APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE RISE. SEAN.

[15. Approval of a Development Agreement with The RiSE CC, Inc. for The Rise Mixed-Use Project in City Center East The City owns 1.54 acres located in the southeast corner of 87th Street Parkway & Renner Boulevard in City Center East Village. The RiSE CC, Inc. ("Developer") intends to construct an 11-story mixed-use project that includes 132 active-adult boutique residential units; 5,278 square feet of office/retail space; 2,225 square feet of rooftop amenity space; and structured parking on the property. The City and the Developer desire to enter into a development agreement outlining the terms and conditions with respect to performance standards and economic incentives associated with construction of the project.]

>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WHILE I PULL THIS UP.

I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT ON BOTH, I BELIEVE, 15 AND 16 AT THE SAME TIME.

>> THANK YOU.

>> FOR BREVITY SAKE.

I ALSO PLANNED IT THAT WAY, SO IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S 1045.

>> THANK YOU.

THE COMMON THEME HERE IS THIS IS CITY CENTER EAST, AND WE OWN THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

AS WE'VE DEVELOPED IT, WE'VE BEEN VERY DELIBERATE WITH WHAT WE'VE WANTED TO DO AND

[03:30:04]

WANTED TO ENSURE THAT WE DID GET A STATEMENT DEVELOPMENT HERE.

WE DIDN'T LET GO THIS LAND JUST FOR ANY OTHER DEVELOPMENT.

THE INCENTIVES AND THE AGREEMENTS THAT WE'VE PUT IN PLACE OVER TIME FOR THAT HAS ENSURED THAT THE CITY GETS PAID BACK FOR ITS LAND, THE COSTS THAT WE PUT IN THERE SINCE 2012, AS WELL AS ENSURING HIGH QUALITY STATEMENT DEVELOPMENT ON THIS CORNER OF CITY CENTER.

BRIEFLY, AS I LIKE TO DO, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE HISTORY OF THIS PLOT GOES A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BACK THAN THE PRESENT DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT.

WE DID PURCHASE THIS IN 2012, OUT OF FORECLOSURE.

WE PURCHASED THAT WHOLE OUTLINE, APPROXIMATELY 2.6 ACRES.

THEN APPROXIMATELY 2018 AND 2019, WE CAME IN WITH THE LOSS, OBVIOUSLY, THE SAME DEVELOPER, AND WE CAME IN WITH A SERIES OF INCENTIVES THAT WERE APPROVED AND THAT INCLUDES THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, TIF PROJECT PLAN 2C AND THE IRBS FOR SALES TAX EXEMPTION.

WE STILL HOLD TITLE TO THAT PROPERTY, WHICH IS WHERE THE LOSS IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

TONIGHT, WE'RE CONSIDERING INCENTIVE OR THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE RISE, AND THEY'RE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE WORKED THROUGH WITH THE LOFTS ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO, SO SPECIFIC TO THE RISE, OBVIOUSLY, JUST WENT THROUGH IT.

I DON'T REALLY NEED TO GO THROUGH THE DETAILS.

THEY'RE THERE, BUT THE DA SETS FORTH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN A SIMILAR MANNER IS THE LOSS FOR TIF PROJECT PLAN, IRBS FOR THE SALES TAX EXEMPTION, AND THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD TITLE TO THAT LAND, WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO ENSURE THAT WE GET PROPERLY PAID BACK THROUGH TIF REVENUE AND IS COST THAT WE'VE PUT INTO THE LAND SINCE 2012.

SPECIFIC, I'LL STOP RIGHT THERE STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE DA.

ADDITIONAL APPROVALS OF THE IRBS AND TIF WILL COME TO YOU.

THIS IS SIMPLY THE DA AT THIS TIME.

YOU WILL HAVE TIF PROJECT PLAN WILL COME THROUGH AND I'LL HAVE TO FOLLOW THE STATUTORY PROCESS, AS WILL THE IRBS.

THE LOFTS AMENDMENT, WHICH IS ITEM 16, IT'S THE FIVE STORY MIXED USE PROJECT TO THE SOUTH THERE.

WE WE DID THOSE INCENTIVES IN 2018 AND 2019, INCLUDING THE DA TIF AND IRBS, AS I JUST SAID.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ARE FAIRLY SIMPLE.

AT THE TIME WE WERE FIXING WHAT ENDED UP BEING A CLERICAL TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR IN THE PRIVATE TIF COSTS WERE INDICATED AS 2.1, WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT TO 2.8.

THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE.

THE MATH ON THE TOTAL ACTUALLY WAS THAT NUMBER.

IT JUST NEVER GOT CAUGHT IN THE FIRST DRAFT, AND OBVIOUSLY THROUGH SEVERAL DRAFTS.

THEN AS CORRESPONDING, WE REVISED SOME OF THE TIF REVENUE SPLIT, WHICH WAS SET FORTH IN YOUR PACKET MEMO.

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THESE DOCUMENTS AS WELL, SO I'LL ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

OBVIOUSLY, THE APPLICANTS HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR HIM.

>> LET'S START. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE DA.

LET'S VOTE ON THAT FIRST.

ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE RISE.

MOTION BY CRAIG. SECOND BY MELANIE. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSED.

DA PASSES, AND THEN ITEM 16 IS THE THREE DIFFERENT AMENDMENTS.

[16. Consideration of amendments to City Center TIF Project 2C and associated economic incentive agreements related to The Lofts at City Center Project located in City Center East a. Ordinance amending Project Plan 2C in the City Center TIF District (The Lofts at City Center Project) b. First Amendment to the Lofts At City Center East Development Agreement and Project Plan 2C Disposition and Development Agreement The Lofts at City Center mixed-use project is located in the northeast corner of Renner Boulevard & City Center Drive ("Lofts Project"). The City previously entered into economic development agreements with the Lofts Project developer. The City and the developer now desire to amend the economic development agreements to adjust the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) eligible reimbursements and the TIF revenue allocations.]

ANY QUESTION ON THOSE AMENDMENTS? 16 A IS AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PROJECT PLAN 2C, CITY CENTER TIF DISTRICT TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR PROJECT PLAN 2C.

MOTION BY BILL, SECOND BY CHELSEA. ALL IN FAVOR?

>> AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION PASSES.

ITEM NUMBER 16B IS THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE LOFTS AT CITY CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, PROJECT PLAN 2C DISPOSITION DDA.

MOTION BY CRAIG, SECOND BY CHELSEA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

>> AYE.

>> THOSE OPPOSE. MOTION PASSES. ALL THAT'S CLEAR.

ANY COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS TONIGHT? NO. READY FOR BED? STAFF.

[STAFF REPORTS]

>> JUST THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT.

WE WILL SEE YOU BACK HERE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 FOR YOUR REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING, AND THE COW MEETING, WHICH WOULD NORMALLY BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 11 IS CANCELED DUE TO THE VETERANS DAY HOLIDAY.
