PRESENT. COUNSELOR. DINGMAN HERE. COUNSELOR. FREEMAN HERE, COUNSELOR. FRANCIS HERE.

COUNSELOR. LARSON HERE. MAYOR, YOU HAVE A QUORUM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE ARE IN SESSION, AND WE ALWAYS START OUR MEETINGS WITH THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. AND TONIGHT, I HAVE INVITED DOCTOR BRYCE BURTENSHAW TO LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE. DOCTOR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD TO THE PODIUM. AND THOSE OF YOU WHO WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US, THE FLAG IS UP HERE TO MY RIGHT, AND YOU'LL START WHEN YOU'RE READY.

BUT FOR MY PART, THIS EVENING WE HAVE SOME WELL, OUR AGENDA FOR THESE MEETINGS. WHEN YOU FIRST REORGANIZE WITH THE NEW COUNCIL AFTER AN ELECTION, YOU THE ORDER OF BUSINESS IS SOMEWHAT DICTATED BY STATE CODE. AND SO WE HAVE OLD BUSINESS AND WE HAVE NEW BUSINESS. AND I'M IN CHARGE OF OLD BUSINESS, JUST LIKE THE OLD MAYOR. AND THEN THE SQUARE IN OUR NEWLY ELECTED FOLKS. AND THEN THAT COUNCIL NEWLY CONSTITUTED MOVES ON TO NEW BUSINESS.

[4.A.1) Reasoned Statement, findings of fact, and conclusions of law - Barnwood Estates Townhomes and Terrace Gate Condominiums]

THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU. PAM ALEXANDER IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE CITY'S MUNICIPAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT, AND SORRY, ZACH JONES IS OUR CITY ATTORNEY. AND BETWEEN THEM, THEY HAVE WORKED TO SUMMARIZE THE COUNCIL'S FINDINGS. AFTER THE APPEAL THAT WAS RECENTLY HELD. AND THEY ARE GOING TO HOPEFULLY BE ADOPTING THOSE FINDINGS FORMALLY. SO I'LL LET YOU TAKE OVER BECAUSE I'M GETTING CLUNKY HERE. YES. SO THIS WAS THIS AROSE FROM THE APPEAL THAT WE HAD HERE DECEMBER 18TH WITH THE REQUEST FOR A CREDIT OR IMPACT FEE, CREDIT OR REIMBURSEMENT.

COUNCIL HEARD ARGUMENT AND VOTED AT THAT TIME TO AFFIRM THE IMPACT THE ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION. MY OFFICE PREPARED A RECENT STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THAT DECISION. WE DISCUSSED THIS RECENT STATEMENT AT OUR WORK SESSION THIS LAST MONDAY, AND MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THERE WERE NO CHANGES RECOMMENDED TO THAT STATEMENT. SO WE JUST PRESENT THAT TO YOU. THIS REASON STATEMENT IS YOUR DECISION AS COUNCIL AS TO THE REASONING FOR WHY YOU UPHELD THE IMPACT, THE ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION. SO JUST STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH, COUNCIL MEMBERS. DO ANY OF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? I KNOW THAT THIS WAS REVIEWED IN THE WORK SESSION ON MONDAY TO SEE IF IT CAPTURED THE BIG IDEAS, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR

[00:05:03]

SO YOU'RE YOU'RE REFERRING TO ALL OF COUNCIL. OKAY. I MEANT IT TO BE THAT WAY. JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. YEAH OKAY. THEN IT LEAVES IT. ALSO, THE MAYOR SIGNS THE DOCUMENTS AND EXECUTE.

[5. Remarks from Mayor Casper]

AND SO I GUESS I'LL SIGN THIS IN CASE I GET LOST IN THE CROWD HERE. GRAB MY WATER. ALL RIGHT, AND I DON'T. WANT TO TURN. RED. OKAY. THERE WE GO. ALRIGHT, WELL, I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR. AND SO I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THAT I HAD A HARD TIME DECIDING WHAT TO SAY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE VERY LONG TONIGHT. BUT I WILL ALSO TELL YOU THAT MY HEART AND MY HEAD ARE BOTH REALLY FULL RIGHT NOW, AND THE OPTIMISM AND THE ENTHUSIASM THAT ACCOMPANIES A NIGHT LIKE THIS TO ME IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT. AND SO I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WHO ARE HERE ENJOY THE FEELINGS THAT YOU HAVE. AND THEN THE THE PATRIOTS, THE PATRIOTIC, LOCAL PATRIOTIC SURGE THAT ACCOMPANIES IT. WELL, I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT TO SAY, AND I TALK MYSELF IN AND OUT OF SO MANY COMMENTS, BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT MENTIONING THE MANY REMARKABLE OPPORTUNITIES THAT I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS. GOSH, TO HELP PROMOTE THE CITY AND ALL THE WAYS THAT I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR CITY, IN OUR LITTLE PART OF IDAHO, IT MATTERS A LOT TO THE REGION. EASTERN IDAHO IS BETTER BECAUSE OF IDAHO FALLS. IT MATTERS A LOT TO THE STATE. SOME PEOPLE IN THE STATE DON'T REALIZE IT, BUT NOT EVERYTHING WONDERFUL IN IDAHO COMES OUT OF BOISE AND EASTERN IDAHO. IDAHO FALLS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

WE MATTER TO THE NATION FOR A FEW REASONS. WE'RE GOING TO THEM, BUT WE ALSO MATTER INTERNATIONALLY. THIS IS A REALLY REMARKABLE CITY, AND I HAVE BEEN IMMENSELY PROUD TO REPRESENT US ALL OVER THE WORLD. I'VE ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT SHARE SOME OF THE MANY SUCCESSES WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST DOZEN YEARS. WE PUT UP A PEDESTRIAN SAFE WALKWAY ACROSS MEMORIAL BRIDGE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT DIRECTOR FREDERICK FREDERICKSON HELPED DIRECT ME TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL, COACH THEE BEFORE THE PHONE CALL, AND KIND OF ENCOURAGED ME DURING IT. AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET SOME MONEY FROM A DIFFERENT DISTRICT AND MAKE THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE PEDESTRIAN SAFE. IF YOU REMEMBER, ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO, IT LOOKED DIFFERENT, AND IF YOU HAD A TODDLER, YOU HELD ON TO THERE WHEN YOU WERE TRYING TO CROSS THE BRIDGE. NOW THEY CAN THEY THEY WON'T FALL OFF THE SIDEWALK. THERE'S A LITTLE THERE'S A RAILING. ANYWAY, I IT GOES BACK TO THAT FIRST LITTLE ACCOMPLISHMENT, THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE BACK IN 2014 TO THIS

[00:10:02]

I THOUGHT, WELL, I COULD MENTION FACILITATING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW WATER TOWER, WHICH WILL CARRY THE CITY PROBABLY INTO THE NEXT CENTURY. WHETHER YOU LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS OR NOT. BUILT TO PERFORM. AND SO AND THE NEW ONE IS ACTUALLY THEY ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW ON THE DECONSTRUCTION. SO YOU GET YOUR LAST PICTURES IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. I COULD ALSO POINT OUT HOW WE ACCOMPLISHED ALL THIS WITHOUT INCURRING ANY UNREASONABLE DEBT.

THE POLICE AND FIRE FACILITIES ARE BEING PAID STRAIGHT FROM PROPERTY TAXES. THERE IS NO BOND THAT WE HAVE TO PAY OFF, NO EXTRA BORROWING THAT THAT HAS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE WE CAN FIT IT INTO OUR BUDGET. AND DESPITE THAT, THOSE EXPENSIVE BILLS TO PAY ON THESE FACILITIES, OUR LEVY RATE IS LESS THAN IT WAS IN 2014 BY A FAIR AMOUNT. AND NOT JUST A LITTLE BIT. IT'S DECENT, DECENT LOWERING ABILITY. I CAN TALK ABOUT THE PANDEMIC LEARNING CURVE AND HOW WELL THE CITY ADAPTED TO THE CHANGING CONDITIONS OF THAT UNKNOWN CRISIS, EVEN AS WE WORKED TIRELESSLY, TIRELESSLY TO COORDINATE WITH PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AND DO OUR PART TO KEEP ESSENTIAL SERVICES GOING AND PROTECT OUR CITIZENS. AT THE SAME TIME, MOST OF MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT ALL BUT A RELATIVE HANDFUL OF THE CITY'S EMPLOYEES WORKED REGULAR HOURS DURING THE LONG MONTHS OF THE PANDEMIC SOME IN THEIR OFFICES, SOME IN THEIR VEHICLES, SOME AT HOME. BUT EVERYBODY THAT PUT IN TIME. I ALSO THOUGHT, MAYBE I'LL BRAG ABOUT HOW THE COMMUNITY HAS REALLY DEDICATED CITY EMPLOYEES, NOT THE COMMUNITY, THE CITY. THEY TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR WORK AND THEY DO IT WELL. AND WHILE SOME FOLKS MIGHT THINK THAT SIMPLY PAYING PROPERTY TAXES IS ENOUGH, I CAN TELL YOU THAT A COMPLIMENT, SOME APPRECIATION, KINDNESS, OR EVEN JUST A THANK YOU TO A CITY EMPLOYEE IS NEVER INAPPROPRIATE. THEY DO WORK HARD, AND THE SHARE OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES THAT THEY GET IS NOT SO LAVISH AS YOU MIGHT THINK. ON A ON A DAY WHEN YOU'RE GRUMPY ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY TAXES AND YOU'RE WRITING THAT CHECK. AND SO WE DO OWE THEM GRATITUDE FOR DOING GOOD FOR THAT WORK. ANYWAY. WE HAVE CITIZENS WHO DO WHO DO THAT. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SHOWED UP AT THE POLICE STATION AND SEEN THAT THEY'VE GOT GOODIES THAT SOME GROUP SENT OVER. SOMETIMES IT'S THE ICONIC DONUTS, SOMETIMES IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. BUT OUR FIRST RESPONDERS ARE OFTEN THE BENEFICIARIES OF TEACHERS WHO TEACH THE STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS TO RESPECT FIRST RESPONDERS. THAT'S THE KIND OF COMMUNITY WE LIVE IN. WE'RE SO

[00:15:05]

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY. BUT HE SAID ALL POLITICS IS LOCAL. AND HIS POINT WAS THAT EVEN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR MANY ELECTED FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS WAS SOMETIMES HOW HELPFUL THEIR ACTIONS WOULD BE TO TO THE FOLKS BACK HOME AND HOW IT WOULD BE RECEIVED BACK HOME. WHEN IT COMES TO WHERE WE LIVE, EVERYTHING IS LOCAL, AND THE FOLKS HERE IN THIS ROOM, ONE SITTING ON THE DAIS, THE DIRECTORS THAT ARE CITY STAFF THAT ARE SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT THE ROOM, ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CITY STAFFERS WHO WORK FOR THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DETERMINE HOW WELL THE SERVICES ARE DELIVERED. BUT IT'S ALSO THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE CITIZENS IN THIS ROOM FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE WATCHING, AND CERTAINLY MANY, MANY MORE WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT. ALL OF THEM. SORRY. I WILL SAY, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CARE, THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE AND PAY THOSE TAXES, WHO RUN REALLY GOOD BUSINESSES, WHO RAISE HAPPY CHILDREN. THE ENTIRE CITY.

INTERESTING. AND THEY MAKE OUR CITY VIBRANT. AND I SO WANT PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR CITY IS THERE TO SUPPORT THEM AND WHAT THEIR CITY HAS TO OFFER THEM. AND SO THAT'S WHY I THINK IT CAN HAPPEN, AND I THINK IT DOES HAPPEN. THAT'S WHY LOCAL IS MY FAVORITE LEVEL.

I WILL SAY A QUICK WORD OF WARNING THAT WE SHOULD BE CONSCIOUS OF THE TREND TO REVERSE WHAT SPEAKER O'NEILL SAID. WE SHOULD NEVER MAKE ALL POLITICS NATIONAL. WE CAN WE CAN INFLUENCE THAT. AND HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN IDAHO FALLS, WHEN EVER ANY OF YOU INTERACT WITH OFFICIALS FROM OTHER LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, REMIND THEM THAT THE QUALITY OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE LOCAL LEVEL MATTERS TO YOU AND BE VOCAL ABOUT THAT. WE CAN ALSO REFUSE TO ADOPT THE PESSIMISM THAT OFTEN ACCOMPANIES NATIONAL POLITICS. THE LOVE OF COMMUNITY AND PRIDE IN LOCAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS. I THINK THEY FORM THE FOUNDATION AND THEY MAKE AN EXCELLENT TRAINING GROUND FOR BASIC HAPPINESS. HAPPINESS AND JOY WITH THE LIVES THAT WE LEAD. AND I THINK WE OWE IT TO OUR CHILDREN TO CREATE THAT WONDERFUL FOUNDATION FOR THEM. AND SO I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE THAT I HOPE YOU DO TOO. BUT I COULD HAVE SAID ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT I DECIDED TO STAY FOR TWO THINGS. ONE, TO THE NEWLY CONSTITUTED CITY COUNCIL, OR ABOUT TO BE NEWLY CONSTITUTED CITY COUNCIL. YOU JUST GOT TO USE THAT. I WOULD SIMPLY REMIND YOU WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW, AND THAT IS THAT THIS JOB IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

IT'S ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THINGS FOR IDAHO FALLS. NOT THE EASY THINGS, NOT THE NON-CONTROVERSIAL THINGS, NOT THE FUN THINGS. IT'S ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT THINGS TO KEEP OUR CITY ON TRACK. OUR CITIZENS WILL SUPPORT YOUR SMART, YOUR WELL-DOCUMENTED, YOUR FACT BASED AND EVIDENCE BASED EFFORTS TO IMPROVE OUR CITY. I'VE SEEN IT TIME AND AGAIN.

YOU JUST NEED TO COMMUNICATE THAT. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE AIMING FOR.

AND I THINK THAT HAS BEEN THE HALLMARK OF THE COUNCILS THAT I'VE WORKED WITH. THEY ARE WILLING TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS FOR THE COMMUNITY AND NOT TRY TO WIN POPULARITY CONTESTS. I WILL ALSO SAY THAT THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE IMPACT FAR MORE THAN THE PEOPLE. YOU JUST FIT INTO THE ROOM ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT, WITH ANY GIVEN HEARING OR CONTROVERSY THAT MAY BE BUBBLING UP. DON'T FORGET THE VOICES THAT YOU DON'T HEAR. AND I WOULD ALSO SAY IT'S ON YOU.

UNFORTUNATELY, TO PROVE TO THEM THAT YOU ARE EVERY BIT AS COMPETENT AS I KNOW YOU ARE, HELP THEM TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR COMPETENCE AND I DO. THEY ARE. THEY ARE HERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. AND WHAT I SAY IS ALMOST MEANT TO TO BE SYMBOLIC BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED TO HEAR THIS PEP TALK. SO THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS THAT I NEED TO SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO THE DIRECTORS. THEY ARE SO PROFESSIONAL. THEY ARE SO ATTUNED AND SMART. THEY SOMETIMES TAILOR THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TO WHAT THEY KNOW IS POSSIBLE. THEY DEFINITELY HAVE TO TAILOR THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO WHAT IS

[00:20:03]

RESPECT THEM SO MUCH. SO THANK YOU TO THE COUNCILORS. AS I ALREADY SAID, YOU SERVE INTELLIGENTLY AND THAT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AS A VOTER. I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE ANYTHING BUT INTELLIGENT SERVICE. SO THANK YOU. TO ALL OF THE OTHER CITY STAFF WHO AREN'T DIRECTORS, WHO AREN'T COUNCILORS. THANK YOU FOR THESE COUNTLESS ACTS OF PERFECTIONISM, PROFESSIONALISM, KINDNESS. MERCY, CHARITY, CLEVERNESS, ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I SEE COMING FROM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT WORK. AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU. IDAHO FALLS THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST WONDERFUL 12 YEARS THAT I COULD EVER HAVE IMAGINED, AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY WILL NOT. I THINK I KNOW THIS COMMUNITY WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART. AND I LOOK AROUND AND I SEE SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE ROOM, AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND THOUSAND MORE TRULY WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO WERE WILLING TO STEP UP. MAY WE ALL BE WILLING TO STEP UP. AND PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME IF I STEP UP TOO MUCH, JUST HOLD MY SHOULDER. TELL ME, BACK OFF THAT IT'S NOT MY TURN ANYMORE. BUT STEPPING UP MATTERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CITIZENSHIP. IT'S WHAT WE MAKE IT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYBODY. AND WITH THAT, I WILL STOP CRYING. AND IT IS MY PRIVILEGE AT THIS TIME TO ADMINISTER THE OATH OF OFFICE TO OUR. ALL RIGHT, KIMBERLY, TELL US WHERE TO STAND. BUT IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THE OATH OF OFFICE TO OUR FOR ABOUT TEN MORE SECONDS, MAYOR BURTON. THANKS. ALL RIGHT,

FOR THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, ACCORDING TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, ACCORDING TO THE BEST OF. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL INVITE THE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS TO COME FORWARD.

THEY'LL BE SWORN IN BY MAYOR BURTON. WELL, I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A RECESS AFTER WE HAVE THIS SWEARING IN. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO STAY FOR MY REMARKS. IT'S HOT. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. WHAT I DO WANT TO SAY, THOUGH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO RAN.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO VOLUNTEERED. I KNOW YOUR NAMES. I KNOW YOUR NUMBERS. I IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE A BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SERVE ON PUBLIC BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND, AND I KNOW THAT THAT YOU WILL DO A GREAT JOB AT THEM. SO I FEEL SUPPORTED IN THAT WAY ALREADY. THANK YOU. AND I'M ABOUT TO SWEAR IN FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER JIM

[7. Reconvene & Roll Call]

[8. Remarks from Mayor Burtenshaw]

WE REALLY DO HAVE A GREAT CITY, AND WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE CITY IMPROVES AND ENHANCES THE COMMUNICATION WITH RESIDENTS, CONTINUES TO SUPPORT PUBLIC SAFETY, IS ACCOUNTABLE TO RESIDENTS WITH THEIR BUDGETS AND WITH OUR BUDGET. EXCUSE ME AND INVEST IN THINGS THAT MATCH OUR VALUES. AND WE HEARD ABOUT MANY OF THOSE TONIGHT FROM MAYOR CASPER. THEY ARE OUR ROADS AND OUR PARKS AND OUR DOWNTOWN AND OUR TRAIL SYSTEM AND SPECIAL EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IDAHO FALLS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, A GREAT PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY AND A GREAT PLACE TO GROW A BUSINESS. AND I KNOW THE COUNCIL IS COMMITTED TO THAT.

I'M COMMITTED TO THAT. THE DIRECTORS ARE COMMITTED TO THAT. AND AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO CAME TONIGHT. EVERYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO LOVES AND SUPPORTS IDAHO FALLS, AND WE WILL MAKE THIS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS A

[9. Elect President of the Council]

YES. COUNCILOR. LEE. YES. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. WELCOME. COUNCIL PRESIDENT. FRANCIS. YES.

YES, PLEASE. I WANT TO TELL THE REST OF COUNCIL. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO WORK ON IS WHAT I CALL CONSISTENCY, CLARITY AND EFFICIENCY IN OUR ORDINANCE, OUR CODE, I THINK WE HAVE WE DO HAVE SOME PLACES WHERE IT'S NOT CLEAR, AND I WANT TO WORK ON THAT. AND ACTUALLY WE'VE ALREADY STARTED WITH ATTORNEY JONES. AND ALSO I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO WORK FOR IS SUPPORTING YOU AS MAYOR IN WORKING FOR MAKING THE PRIORITIES THAT COUNCIL PUTS TOGETHER REALITY CITYWIDE AND CONTINUE THAT PROGRAM THAT WE STARTED TWO YEARS AGO AND EXPAND IT AND IMPROVE IT. I ALSO WANT TO BE SOMEONE WHO CAN SUPPORT YOUR SUCCESS, EVEN THOUGH WE PROBABLY WON'T AGREE EVERY SINGLE MINUTE, WHICH IS PROBABLY GOOD BECAUSE WE ARE THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH AND YOU'RE THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. AND THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS WHEN MAYOR BURTENSHAW SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR COMMISSIONS, AND I WILL BE HONORED TO SUPPORT EVERY ONE OF THOSE NOMINATIONS WHEN THEY COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. I THAT WAS VERY NICE. OKAY. NOW WE ACTUALLY ARE ON TO

[10. Public Comment]

BUT YOU ALSO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT. CONGRATULATE YOU ON ON YOUR ELECTION. AND I THINK THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS IS WONDERFUL. AMAZING THAT WE CAN GO. AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN

[00:35:01]

[11. Consent Agenda (New Business)]

WE'VE GOT FIVE ON THE NEW ONE FROM MUNICIPAL. MUNICIPAL SERVICES IS THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE FOR PUBLIC WORKS FROM SMITH CHEVROLET FOR $94,897.90 FROM PUBLIC WORKS.

WE HAVE TWO BID AWARDS, ONE TO KNIFE RIVER FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PARKING EXPANSION IN THE AMOUNT OF $349,963.50, THE OTHER ALSO TO KNIFE RIVER FOR THE ANDERSON WATER LINE RAILROAD CROSSING IN THE AMOUNT OF $389,389.

LARSON. YES. FREEMAN. YES. FRANCIS I. DINGMAN. YES. LEE. YES. MOTION CARRIES. I'VE WONDERED BOTH TIMES HOW COME I WASN'T CALLED JUST OUT OF HABIT? IT WAS LIKE, YEAH, WHEN AM I I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T. THERE COULD COME A TIME WHERE I ACCIDENTALLY HAVE AN OLD CULTURE. SO YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE TO TURN OFF MY MIC. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT WAS APPROVED.

[12.A.1) Appointment of Idaho Falls’ UAMPS Member Representative and Alternate]

THIS ONE SHOULD BE PRETTY SIMPLE ONE. WE ARE A MEMBER OF UMS, WHICH DOES OUR A LOT OF OUR POWER MARKETING, AND WE ALSO DO OUR WIND PROJECTS THROUGH THEM. SO WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE THERE WITH CHANGES. MR. MR. MORGAN'S RECENTLY TAKEN A JOB WITH AGC, SO WE'D LIKE TO CHANGE THE THE MEMBER'S REPRESENTATIVE TO JOSH AND THEN THE BACKUP TO COLTER FOR JOSH'S PRODUCES HERE QUESTIONS FOR HIM. OKAY. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT CHANGE. I JUST I JUST MAKE A COMMENT THAT THOSE ARE REALLY GOOD CHOICES TO BE TO BE OUR REPRESENTATIVES THERE. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THEM THEM BEING IN THAT POSITION.

DIRECTOR FOREMAN, WOULD YOU WITH THE CROWD THAT WE HAVE, WOULD YOU JUST SPEAK TO WHAT YOU AMS IS? ACRONYMS? YES, WE DO USE A LOT, LOT MORE ACRONYMS THAN OUR INDUSTRY THAN WE PROBABLY SHOULD. YOU ANSWERED UTAH ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL POWER SYSTEMS. THEY ARE A GROUP OF A NUMBER OF MOSTLY UTAH CITIES, BUT THEY HAVE A COUPLE IDAHO ONES AND ONE WYOMING CO-OP CITY MEMBER, AND THEY WILL DO MULTIPLE PROJECTS. THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS IN.

EACH MEMBER CAN JOIN INTO ANY ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS THEY WANT. IN THIS CASE, THE ONE THAT WE USE PRIMARILY IS A POOL FOR SPYING SONIC POWER. SO THAT POOL WILL ACTUALLY BUY AND SELL EXCESS ENERGY IF WE HAVE IT, OR WE PURCHASE EXCESS ENERGY FROM THERE IF WE'RE SHORT ON OUR NEEDS. SO. COUNCIL MEMBER FREEMAN, I'M READY WITH A MOTION IF YOU'RE OKAY. YES, I WOULD MOVE THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE RESOLUTION APPOINTING IDAHO FALLS UN MEMBER REPRESENTATIVE AND ALTERNATE AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY CLERK AND MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. I'LL SECOND A VOTE. CALL, PLEASE. FREEMAN. YES, BRADFORD. I LI. YES. DINGMAN. YES. FRANCIS I.

[00:40:07]

SECOND. VOTE CALL. CLARKSON. YES. FRANCIS I. LEE. YES. DINGMAN. YES. FREEMAN. YES.

BRADFORD. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. AND OUR NEXT ITEM IS ACTUALLY COMING FROM THE OFFICE

[12.C.1) Ordinance Amendment - City Council Meeting Time ]

OKAY, WE REALLY DO HOPE THAT THIS IS A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO ENGAGE WITH CITY COUNCIL BEING A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, AND NOT ESPECIALLY ON THE LONG WINTER NIGHTS. WE'RE HOPING THAT THIS IS GOING TO JUST JUST HELP A LITTLE BIT. YES, AND HELP WITH THE LENGTH OF THE MEETING AS WELL, OR THE HOW LATE INTO THE NIGHT. SO WE HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. AND IF WE CAN GET THE VOTE, CALL DICKMAN. YES. BRADFORD A LARSON. YES. LEE. YES. FRANCIS I. FREEMAN. YES.

MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. AND BECAUSE IT IT IS AN ORDINANCE IF WE CAN READ IT BY TITLE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, AMENDING TITLE ONE, CHAPTER SIX, SECTION ONE, PROVIDING FOR THE NOTICE OF THE TIMES OF REGULAR MEETINGS, CODIFICATION, PUBLICATION BY SUMMARY, AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU. OUR FINAL DEPARTMENT BEFORE US TONIGHT. WE HAVE DIRECTOR

[12.D.1) Final Plat and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Highland Park Addition, Third Amended.]

UNLESS WE'LL JUST CONTINUE WITH OUR CURRENT CDS. YEAH, WE CAN JUST LIAISON'S TO DO THAT QUESTION. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS HAS A QUESTION. DIRECTOR. CENTER. I HAVE A PRESENTATION PREPARED AS WELL FOR THE FINAL PLAT. YEAH, IF YOU'D LIKE AS WELL. BUT OF COURSE, TYPICALLY WE DON'T DO A PRESENTATION, BUT I'M HAPPY TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. I'D KIND OF LIKE THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE ACCESS FROM WHAT I SAW AS THE CUL DE SAC ON ELMER. SURE. YEAH. AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMPLICATED BECAUSE PART OF IT'S ON THE ROAD AND PART OF IT'S IN AN ALLEY, AND PART OF THE ALLEY IS CITY, AND PART OF THE ALLEY IS PRIVATE. AND I'M CONFUSED. YES. NO PROBLEM. YEAH. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

[00:45:07]

IT'S IT'S PURELY INFILL. AND THAT'S WHAT THE ZONE IS CREATED TO ALLOW FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S A IT'S A MUCH BETTER USE OF THE UTILITIES AND THE OTHER RESOURCES AROUND THE PROPERTY.

BUT TO DO THAT THEN YOU HAVE TO BE A LITTLE CREATIVE AS A DEVELOPER IN THIS. VERY MUCH SO.

SO THAT'S WHAT THE PLAN IS AND THAT'S WHAT THE ACCESS IS FOR IT. SO THEY'LL HAVE TWO ACCESSES FOR FIRE. FIRE REQUIRES IT ON THE ALLEYWAY AS WELL AS OFF THE CUL DE SAC.

THESE PROPERTIES ARE ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS. THE ZONE HAS SOME STREET SO THEY ARE BACK LOADED. THAT'S WHAT THESE WHITE SQUARES ON THE BACK. THOSE ARE THE BACK LOADED PRODUCTS THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE IN THE REAR TO FACE HIGHWAY 20. WE'RE ESTIMATING THAT AT LEAST WHAT THEY'VE TOLD US IS THAT THESE WILL BE OWNER OCCUPIED, ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY. SO YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THE SUBDIVISION BEFORE YOU THIS DID GO TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT WENT THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION ON. LET'S SEE WE WENT TO DC. I KNOW THAT IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY THROUGH PC AND THERE WAS NO PUBLIC COMMENT ON IT. OKAY. JUST REMEMBER RADFORD DOES HAVE SOMETHING. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO, AS MEMBERS LIKE MICHELLE AND I THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE, AND WE SAW THE TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD COME ABOUT WHEN THAT WAS INTRODUCED INTO THE CITY. IT WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMENT THAT OUR MOST POPULAR NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THIS NUMBERED STREETS, AND IT WAS CLEAR FROM OUR CURRENT ORDINANCES AT THE TIME THAT WE COULD NEVER BUILD THE NUMBERED STREETS AGAIN. IT WASN'T WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ALLOWED, RIGHT? WE COULDN'T DO THOSE. AND SO TO HAVE PROPERTY THAT HAS SAT SINCE 1906 ACTUALLY BE PRODUCTIVE AND HAVE ESPECIALLY IN A HOUSING CRISIS WHERE WE NEED, YOU KNOW, HOMES THAT ARE AFFORDABLE AND APPROACHABLE. AND SO THIS IS JUST A AN AMAZING WIN. AND I'M GRATEFUL THAT THERE WAS FORESIGHT TO TALK ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE. AND I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE BUILDERS USING IT, DEVELOPERS AND ENGINEERS BEING INNOVATIVE, BECAUSE THIS IS UNIQUE TO TO FORM AN HOA FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET. BUT IF IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. QUICK COMMENTS. YES, COUNCILMEMBER, THANK YOU FOR

[00:50:01]

LARSON. YES. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. OUR. OUR NEXT ITEM IS. OH. EXCUSE ME. YES. THANK YOU. ONE MORE MOTION, PLEASE. AND, MAYOR, WE SHOULD WE KNOW THE CORRECT REASON. STATEMENT, I BELIEVE IS THE ONE ON THE ON THE. I GOT TO MENTION THAT IN MY PRESENTATION IT WAS ON THE RECENT STATEMENT WAS LEFT OUT THE DATE IN WHICH IT WENT TO CITY COUNCIL. SO COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS CONTACTED ME THIS MORNING. SO WE PRINTED OUT A NEW ONE FOR ME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU DIRECTOR.

WE'RE READY FOR THAT MOTION. NOW I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE RECENT STATEMENT OF RELEVANT CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR THE FINAL PLAT FOR HIGHLAND PARK ADDITION. THIRD, AMENDED.

AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION TO THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. SECOND. THANK YOU, CLAIRE LEE. YES. DINGMAN. YES. FRANCIS. FREEMAN. YES. LARSON. YES. RADFORD. AYE. MOTION CARRIES, AND I DO NEED A COPY OF THAT DOCUMENT. THANK YOU. OKAY. OUR NEXT ITEM IS ACTUALLY

[12.D.2) Quasi-judicial Public Hearing-Rezone from HC, Highway Commercial to CC, Central Commercial, Zoning Ordinance and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for approximately 2.45 acres consisting of a portion of Lot 2, Block 1, Taylor Crossing on the River Division No. 8.]

THANK YOU. MAYOR. AND I WAS LOOKING FOR THE DEVELOPER. I KNOW THEY WERE HERE FOR PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT I DON'T SEE THEM HERE THIS EVENING. SO I'M HAPPY TO DO MY PRESENTATION. THE NEXT ONE IS THE REZONE 20 506. IT'S A REASON FROM HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL TO CC. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT. IT'S THIS HIGHLIGHTED AREA IN RED. IT'S ACTUALLY TWO PROPERTIES, BUT IT'S RIGHT ADJACENT TO MY KIDS. CALL IT THE EAGLE ROUNDABOUT WITH THE FOUNTAIN. SO IT'S RIGHT BETWEEN UTAH AVENUE AND PANCARI DRIVE. WHAT'S BEING REQUESTED BY THE. AND IT'S 2.45 ACRES. AND THE REQUEST IS TO CHANGE THE PROPERTY FROM ITS EXISTING ZONING OF HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL TO A CENTRAL COMMERCIAL CC. THIS IS THE ZONING MAP. SO THE PINK THE THE LIGHT PINK IS HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL. THE DARK IS CC ZONE.

SO ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE ZONED CC. SO THIS IS NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THE REQUEST.

THE TRANSECT FOR THE PROPERTY. SO THIS IS ACCORDING TO IMAGINE IF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND AND JUST A LITTLE EXPLANATION FOR THE PUBLIC WHAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DOES. IS IT IT HELPS GUIDE US AS WE LOOK AT REZONES, THAT WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED IS NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY OF WHAT THE GOALS OF THE CITY ARE AS THEY MOVE FORWARD. SO THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY MIXED USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS. AND AND IMAGINE IF THAT IS CALLED OUT. CC AND HC BOTH FIT WITHIN THIS TRANSECT. SO THE REQUEST IS NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR WHAT THIS REQUEST IS. THIS PROPERTY IS ALSO LOCATED IN A IN A NEWLY CREATED RIVERWALK. IDAHO FALLS REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT. I REALIZE THAT'S A MOUTHFUL. JUST REMEMBER THE RENEWAL DISTRICT AND YOU CAN SEE WHY THE REQUEST WAS IS THIS IS LAVA ROCK RIGHT HERE. AND THE IDAHO FALLS REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY IS IS AN ENTITY. WHEN YOU CREATED IT SEPARATE FROM THE CITY. BUT WHAT IT CREATES IS THESE URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICTS, AND IT ALLOWS US TO USE WHAT'S CALLED TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO HELP WITH DEVELOPMENT. SO THE DEVELOPER WILL PAY TO DO INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT'S WHAT IT CAN BE USED FOR. THEY'LL PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEN THE AGENCY REIMBURSES THEM FOR THAT WORK. SO IN THIS CASE THE DEVELOPER IS LOOKING TO REZONE IT SO THAT HE ONE CAN GET A COMMERCIAL BOUTIQUE IS ACTUALLY

[00:55:06]

OBVIOUSLY, THE FACT THAT THAT THE DIRECTOR POINTED OUT THAT IT IT ENABLES THE DEVELOPER TO DO SOME THINGS HE WANTS TO DO. AND THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH SPOT FOR A LONG TIME FOR THE REASONS CITED, AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE A LOT OF ROCK. AND TO SEE THAT BEING DEVELOPED AS A REAL PLUS, THAT'S A REALLY PRIME SPOT. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS IS THIS IS AN EXCITING ONE. AND GO AHEAD, COUNCILMEMBER FRANCIS, MAKE THIS STATEMENT RESULTS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TAKE REZONE SO LIGHTLY. IT DOES AFFECT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND IT. BUT THIS ONE CONNECTS TO TO TO A CC WHICH IS RIGHT NEXT TO IT. AND THERE'S IT'S NOT IN ANY WAY A SPOT ZONE. AND ALSO THE DEVELOPER COULD DO ANYTHING TO CC ALLOWS. BUT HE HAS MADE STATEMENTS IN THE PACKET THAT SUGGEST A VERY INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA THAT IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THIS RESULT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER. OKAY. SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE READY FOR MOTION. OH, I DECLARE IT CLOSED. HEARING CLOSED. AND ALL OF THE GREAT.

YES COUNCILMEMBER, I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE ORDINANCE REZONING APPROXIMATELY 2.45 ACRES CONSISTING OF A PORTION OF LOT TWO, BLOCK ONE TAYLOR CROSSING ON THE RIVER, DIVISION NUMBER EIGHT FROM HC HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL TO CC CENTRAL. COMMERCIAL UNDER A SUSPENSION OF THE RULES REQUIRING THREE COMPLETE AND SEPARATE READINGS, AND REQUEST THAT IT BE READ BY TITLE AND PUBLISHED BY SUMMARY. SECOND. FREEMAN. YES. BRADFORD A LARSON. YES. DINGMAN. YES.

[12.D.3) Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing - Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Sage Lakes.]

[01:00:03]

YEAH. GREAT. THANK YOU COUNCIL. MY NAME IS JARED HUISH I'M HERE WITH MY PARTNER JIM HERLINGER.

JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR MAKING TIME FOR US. AND WE'VE BEEN THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, PLANNING COMMISSION BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THE TO THE CITY. THIS IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR, I'LL JUST KIND OF JUMP RIGHT INTO IT. SO THIS THIS AGENDA OR THIS PRESENTATION INCORPORATES QUITE A BIT OF THE FEEDBACK WE'VE GOTTEN FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND FROM PLANNING COMMISSION. AND ALSO. IMAGINE IF IT'S A LIVING DOCUMENT THAT WE WANT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH. AND WE FOUND, I FOUND AS I'VE DEVELOPED DIFFERENT AREAS, THAT THERE'S NO REASON TO GO AGAINST WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS ASKING FOR OR WHAT THE DOCUMENTS ARE ASKING FOR. AS FAR AS LIKE ORGANIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT IS MEETING THE GOALS OF THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY. SO WE KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT AND SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS A NUMBER OF THINGS. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS JUST WEST OF 50 EAST, AND AS YOU GUYS KNOW, JUST SOUTH OF THE THE GOLF COURSE, IT'S ABOUT 20 ACRES.

THIS THE PUD DOESN'T ACTUALLY INCLUDE THE 74 INDIVIDUAL HOMES, THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THOSE WERE ALREADY APPROVED FOR THE PRELIMINARY PLAT HISTORICALLY. BUT EFFECTIVELY THE R2 AND R3, WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE, AS I'LL SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE, HAS THESE THESE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ALL THE WAY AROUND IT. THE THE STANDARDS AND THE AMENITIES THAT COME WITH IT. WE HAVE 4.5 ACRES OF IT. INCLUDE THE OPEN SPACE THAT HAS DIFFERENT AMENITIES, PLAYGROUNDS, WALKING TRAILS, PATIOS, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MEET THE STANDARDS OF THE CODE, BUT ALSO THINGS THAT WE'VE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED THAT WOULD THAT WOULD MAKE THE SITE BETTER.

THIS ISN'T IF WE DID. IF WE DID THIS BY CODE, IT WOULD BE A LOT DIFFERENT. WE'D GET A LOT MORE UNITS. BUT BECAUSE THE GROUP THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH IS DOING THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, IS INTERESTED IN KEEPING IT TO A HIGHER STANDARD. WE'VE REDUCED THE DENSITY QUITE A BIT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HOLDS VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY PROPERTY, THE HOME VALUES, BUT ALSO THE STANDARDS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. WE AND ALSO FROM ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT'S BEEN A BIG CONCERN, OF COURSE, BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH TRAFFIC ISSUES COMING DOWN AS YOU COME OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY'VE ALREADY INSTALLED THE BRIDGE. I'LL SHOW YOU THAT IN A MINUTE. BUT I THINK THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO HAVE KIND OF THIS HUB. IMAGINE IF KIND OF IDEA WAS TO HAVE THESE, I GUESS, HUBS AROUND, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE AREAS AND TO REDUCE THE TRAFFIC TO GET THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS. SO THE ACCESS TO IT IS, IS RIGHT OFF THE, THE HIGHWAY. SO AS FAR AS ALIGNMENT GOES WITH THE IMAGINE IF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IT HAS A NUMBER OF THINGS. OF COURSE THE PUD THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE TOWNHOME SPECIFICALLY. BUT PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT OF COURSE, IS THE 74 SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ALLOWS US TO DO DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS AS FAR AS TOWNHOMES AND OF COURSE, THOSE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. WE HAVE 50 FOOT FRONTS FOR SOME OF THE OR 80 FOOT FRONTS FOR SOME OF THE SINGLE FAMILY, OTHERS ARE WIDER 88 AND THEN THE TOWNHOMES VARY BETWEEN 22 AND 24 FOOT WIDE, BUT ALL HAVE TWO CAR GARAGES. I'LL SHOW YOU SHORTLY. AS FAR AS THE IMAGINE IF DOCUMENT, AND I THINK THE VISION OF THAT IS TO HELP PEOPLE AGE IN PLACE. SO, YOU KNOW, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY COME UP QUITE A BIT IN DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, CERTAINLY IN THE NON-WEST, IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY WANT THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO MIGRATE IN AND OUT AND MOVE AROUND. THEY'D LIKE TO STAY WITHIN THAT AREA WHERE THEY RAISE THEIR KIDS, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN OR MOVE OUT. AND SO THIS CAPTURES THAT QUITE A BIT BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT PRODUCT TYPES THAT WE HAVE AS PART OF THIS. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE MULTI-GENERATIONAL AS PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT PRODUCT TYPES, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT CAN BE BIGGER, SOME THAT ARE SMALLER THAN, OF COURSE, THE TOWNHOMES AS WELL.

THIS SPECIFICALLY TALKS ABOUT THE DENSITY THAT THAT WE WOULD BE ENTITLED TO WITH AN R2. AND

[01:05:05]

THESE ONES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE WILL BE DONE HERE IN THE SPRING AS FAR AS THE FINAL PLAT GOES, BUT IT'S BEEN PRELIMINARY PLATTED ALREADY. AND THEN THIS IS, OF COURSE, THE PUD. THIS ON THE EAST SIDE OF ARROW, THAT'S ALL R-3. SO THAT DENSITY IS A DOWN ZONE, IF YOU WILL, AS FAR AS DENSITY GOES. AND THEN JUST FOR PRODUCT TYPE, AS YOU CAN TELL, THE YELLOW ON THE INSIDE THAT IS A FRONT LOAD PRODUCT, MEANING THE GARAGE FACES THAT PRIVATE ROAD. AND THEN AND THE WAY THAT THIS IS DESIGNED IS THIS THE BROWN HERE IS WHAT THEY CALL REAR LOAD. SO YOU HAVE AN ALLEY IN THE BACK AND THEN EVERYTHING EMPTIES OUT TO THAT ROAD. SO IT CREATES A MORE CONNECTED KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD FEEL. AND THEN RIGHT HERE, FOR EXAMPLE, THESE ONES HERE ON SAGE LAKES AT THE BOTTOM, THOSE WILL BE FRONT DOORS LOOKING AT FRONT DOORS. SO THESE NEIGHBORS HERE WON'T SEE DRIVEWAYS OR, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL BE LOOKING AT LANDSCAPES, MATURE TREES AS THEY GROW IN AND THEN AND THEN DOORS. AND I HAVE EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE ELEVATIONS LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THE TYPE OF HOUSES. THIS IS. THIS IS, YOU KNOW, MORE THIS KIND OF CAPTURES NOW THE AMENITIES, IF YOU WILL. SO DOWN HERE WE HAVE AN OPEN SPACE, PLAYGROUNDS, PLAYGROUNDS, DOG PARKS AND THE WALKING TRAIL AROUND IT. AND THIS IS THE PRODUCT TYPE. ONE THING WE'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OF. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S SOME CONTINUITY BETWEEN HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE. AND FAIRWAY ESTATES HAS NEWER HOMES LIKE THERE ARE CERTAINLY JUST IN THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. BUT THEY, YOU KNOW, CONCERN HAS BEEN MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S SOME CONTINUITY BETWEEN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD HOMES AND OF COURSE, ON THE GOLF COURSE, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL MILLION DOLLAR HOMES. THEY WOULDN'T WANT SOMETHING THAT'S COMING IN THAT YOU MAY FIND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY THAT THAT HAVEN'T DONE AS MUCH DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THE DESIGN IS, IS CONSISTENT. SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS ON THE CORNER OF THE LAKE LOOKING NORTHWEST. AND SO THIS IS WHAT THE FRONT LOAD LOOKS LIKE. OR THE REAR LOAD LOOKS LIKE. SO ON THE BACK WOULD BE THE ALLEY AND THE DRIVEWAYS OR THE GARAGES. AND THE FRONT OF COURSE IS WHERE YOU WALK OUT. SAME THING. SO IT'S JUST FURTHER DOWN LOOKING DIRECTLY AT THE THE TOWNHOME PRODUCT. AND YOU KNOW, FROM THE ELEVATION, THE QUALITY AND THE DESIGN OF THE PRODUCT. THIS IS AN AERIAL LOOKING IF YOU GO WEST. SO LOOKING AT THE CORNER OF BAVARIA AND SAGE LAKES. SO HERE YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, REPRESENTATION OF WHAT THE NEW HOMES WILL LOOK LIKE FACING NORTH HERE ON THE LEFT AND LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT THE WAY THAT IT WOULD BE A LOT OF TIMES YOU'D BE LOOKING AT CARS AND, AND LIKE VEHICLES AND GARAGES VERSUS IN THIS CASE WE PUT THAT IN THE BACK. THAT'S SIMILAR JUST NOW DOWN AT THE STREET LEVEL. NOW THIS IS THE SITE PLAN OF THE PUD SPECIFICALLY. SO NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT INCLUDING ALL THE SINGLE FAMILY AROUND IT. NOW THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PUD. SO LIKE PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT OF THE ZONING THE WAY IT WOULD BE IF

[01:10:02]

THIS IS BY PRESCRIPTIVE. RIGHT. AND SO IN THIS CASE, WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS. WE WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND KIND OF GET A LOOK AND FEEL OF IT. BUT IT BECAME VERY CLEAR THAT GOING FROM THIS TO THIS WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER, YOU KNOW, HERE'S A A MUCH BETTER KIND OF COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. SO AGAIN, WHY IS WHY ARE WE ASKING FOR PUD? IT'S A HIGHER STANDARD AND WE DON'T GET THE DENSITY THAT WOULD, YOU KNOW, THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD LIKE. AND FROM OUR AGAIN BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING WITH THE VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION GROUP WHO'S DOING THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, MAINTAINING THE HOME VALUES AND THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT IS PARAMOUNT, BECAUSE THE LAST THING THAT ANYONE WOULD WANT TO DO IS CANNIBALIZE THEMSELVES. SO BY KEEPING UP THE VALUE OF IT AND THE STYLE AND THE DESIGN IS IMPORTANT AS FAR AS WHAT THE COMMUNITY FEATURES ARE, THERE'S TWO MODERN PLAYGROUNDS, THE PAVILION, DOG PARKS, YOU KNOW, WE'LL PUT SOME, OF COURSE, ALL THE LANDSCAPING AS WELL, AND THEN SOME BUFFERING, IF YOU WILL, AROUND IT. HERE'S SOME ELEVATION OF THE EXISTING OF PRODUCT HAS EXISTED IN OTHER LOCATIONS OF THE. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN REAL LIFE, THIS IS A FRONT LOADED TOWNHOME. THESE WILL BE THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE INSIDE SIMILAR TO THIS. THIS IS JUST A 3D RENDER OF IT. THIS IS THE REAR LOAD. SO THIS IS THE GARAGE IS IN THE BACK. JUST TO GET AN IDEA OF KIND OF CONCEPT AND PRODUCT TYPE.

SIMILARLY HERE AND THESE ARE THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, THE TYPE OF SINGLE FAMILY ELEVATIONS THAT YOU THAT YOU'LL SEE ON SAGE LAKES AND THEN ON THE WEST AND THE NORTH SIDE AS WELL BY THE, BY THE GOLF COURSE. WE REALLY WANTED TO INCREASE THE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF FEEDBACK IS WALKABILITY. SO WE MADE SURE WE HAD, YOU KNOW, PLENTY OF OF COURSE, THE SIDEWALKS INCLUDED, BUT WE WANTED TO HAVE SOME WALKING PATHS AS WELL, WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE. A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC. WE HAD A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE FOR THIS AREA. AND AS FAR AS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE GOES, YOU CAN SEE HERE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY.

THERE'S NO EXPECTED LEVEL OF SERVICE ISSUES HERE BECAUSE THE THE COMMUNITY WILL ACTUALLY BE GETTING TRAFFIC OR EXCUSE ME, OUR ACCESS POINT THAT WE PUT IN WILL BE GETTING TRAFFIC FROM THE COMMUNITY, WHEREAS THERE'S VERY FEW, IF ANYONE, THAT WOULD ELECT TO GO DOWN THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THE MAJORITY WILL COME OUT AND GET RIGHT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY VERSUS GOING DOWN THROUGH THE EXISTING. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT PROPERTY VALUE CONCERNS, WHICH IS, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY THERE, THEY DON'T WANT TOWNHOMES THAT WOULD BRING IT DOWN. WHAT YOU CAN SEE. AND, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON IT. WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS IS THAT, YOU KNOW, TOWNHOME VALUE IS DIFFERENT THAN A SINGLE FAMILY. AND, AND THEY THEY COMP DIFFERENTLY. SO THE VARIABLES THAT YOU'LL FIND ON SINGLE FAMILY VERSUS TOWNHOMES ARE CERTAINLY DIFFERENT, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE SINGLE FAMILY AROUND IT. AND ALL THE ONES THAT ARE BEING BUILT NOW WILL BE BUFFERING FROM THE EXISTING ALREADY. AS FAR AS THE CONCERNS WITH CRIME AND SAFETY, WE'RE GOING TO SOLVE A LOT OF THAT WITH THE SIDELINES AND ALSO THE WELL LIT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE GATHERING AREAS, PARKING, ETCETERA. AND BECAUSE IT'S ALL FOR SALE PRODUCT, YOU KNOW, THERE'LL BE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF HOMES, EVERYONE WILL BE HOMEOWNERS, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF THESE WILL BE SOLD TO END USERS. YEAH. JUST THE ARCHITECTURAL COHESION, I THINK IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO TIE IN THE EXISTING PRODUCTS WITH THE SINGLE FAMILY AND THEN BUFFERING TO THE TOWNHOMES. YEAH. SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, WE REALLY TRIED TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE IDEAS WITH IMAGINEFX AND INCORPORATE IT WITH THE PUD. IT CERTAINLY WE WOULDN'T BE UP FOR SCRUTINY IF WE JUST CAME AND PRESENTED IT WITH THE STAFF. AS FAR AS THE R2, WITH THE 17 UNITS PER ACRE, BUT IN THIS CASE, WE FELT IT WOULD BE AN

[01:15:02]

THANK YOU. I DID JUST MISS IT. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. YES PLEASE. IF YOU WOULD MIND STAYING FOR COUNCIL MEMBER QUESTIONS, SLIDE BACK TO ONE OF THE REAR. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? THE REAR LOAD. YEAH, YEAH. SO MY QUESTION IS MAYBE IT'S TOO OLD, BUT COUNCILMEMBER, WERE YOU SPEAKING TO. SORRY. MY QUESTION IS MAYBE TWOFOLD, BUT DOES THE OWNER ONLY OWN THE BUILDING OR WHAT ABOUT THAT LIKE THAT PROPERTY RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR THEIR PLACE. IS THAT THEIRS? SO NO, THE WAY IT WORKS IS AS FAR AS LIKE IN THIS CASE, YOU HAVE THE LOT ITSELF AND THE REST IS COMMON AREA AND A LOT OF THAT. LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, NOW WE HAVE TO DO IRRIGATION WITH THE IRRIGATION CANAL. SO, SO WE'LL CONNECT TO THE CANAL, TO THE CANAL, COME UP AND THEN THE, THE HOA WILL, WILL MANAGE THE WATERING OF IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL LITTLE PLAT THAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH WITH THEIR YARD.

SO IT'S COMMON AREA. AND THEN THE OUTLINE OF THEIR UNIT IS, IS BELONGS TO THEM. OKAY. SO THE REASON I ASK IS WHEN YOU COUNT COMMON SPACE, ARE YOU COUNTING THAT QUOTE FRONT YARD IN FRONT OF EACH DWELLING. YEAH. EVERYTHING. COMMON SPACE. YEAH. EVERYTHING. IF YOU LIKE, LET ME GO BACK TO THE SITE PLAN SO YOU CAN SEE IT'S NOT IN THE BOX LIKE THIS. FOR EXAMPLE, DOWN HERE, EVERYTHING THAT'S GREEN, THAT'S THAT'S THE COMMON SPACE. SO EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS, OF COURSE NOT THE DRIVEWAYS. AND THEN OF COURSE THE ALONG EACH ROAD HERE AS WELL. SO EVERYTHING THAT'S NOT THE ACTUAL FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING IS, IS PART OF THE ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS. SO THE HOA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT MAINTENANCE OF THAT. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. OKAY. I THINK I SHOULD SAY THE REASON I'M ASKING IS IT DOESN'T REALLY COUNT BECAUSE THE OTHER NEIGHBORS CAN'T GO HAVE A PICNIC RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME OR PLACES. SO AN OPEN SPACE, WHICH IS GOOD, BUT IT'S NOT QUITE THE SAME AS A PARK. OKAY. YEAH.

YEAH, I, I DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, FROM A CALCULATIONS PERSPECTIVE, THEY JUST, YOU KNOW. YEAH. OKAY.

AND I HAVE ONE MORE. WITH THE COMMON SPACE. ARE THE PARTS OF THE DOG PARK BE OPEN TO ANY NEIGHBORS THAT LIVED IN THE WHOLE AREA? YEAH. WE'VE WE'VE TALKED TO STAFF ABOUT THAT AND THERE'S BEEN INTEREST THERE. YOU KNOW PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ABOUT THAT. WE'RE CERTAINLY OPEN TO IT. THE HOA THAT EXISTS AROUND I GUESS WHAT WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE IS IF NEIGHBORING HOAS WANT TO ENJOY IT OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE. WE JUST NEED TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CONNECTION TO THAT SO THAT THEY CAN HELP HELP WITH THE UPKEEP OR WHATEVER THAT WOULD TAKE. IT JUST IT JUST REALLY DEPENDS ON, YOU KNOW, HAVING A CONNECTION TO BEING ABLE TO USE IT AS FAR AS UPKEEP AND MAINTENANCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. OKAY. AND MY THIRD QUESTION IS. IN THE PACKET, THERE'S SEVERAL REFERENCES TO THESE ARE TWO STORY. IS THAT A FIRM COMMITMENT. BECAUSE THE VERB THAT'S ONLY IN THERE IS IT SHOWS TWO STORIES. BUT ARE YOU AS THE DEVELOPER, COMMITTED TO TWO STORIES? YEAH, THEY'LL ONLY BE TWO STORIES. AND THAT'S FOR THE R-3 AS WELL AS THE R-2. THAT'S RIGHT. SO THE R-3 AGAIN, WHICH IS ON THE EAST SIDE, THAT'S THE SAME PRODUCT. IT'S ACROSS THE STREET IN THE R-2.

SO IT'S THE SAME PRODUCT. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DIRECTOR CENTER. IF YOU CAN APPROACH THE PODIUM AND GIVE US THE STAFF REPORT, PLEASE. NO PROBLEM. MAYOR AND COUNCIL, THE DEVELOPER COVERED A LOT OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED. I'LL JUST GO OVER MORE OF THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK. YOURSELF. THERE WE GO. JUST IN CASE YOU NEEDED A VISUAL OF WHERE THE

[01:20:12]

SORRY TO INTERRUPT. COULD YOU SHOW US WHERE THE NEW HIGHWAY WOULD GO THROUGH? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. IT'S ACTUALLY OFF THIS MAP. IT'S JUST SOUTH OF HERE. THAT'S THE PREFERRED ALIGNMENT. ITB HAS NOT MADE THAT DETERMINATION. THE PREFERRED ALIGNMENT IS JUST SOUTH. THAT'S CORRECT. DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? SO THE TRANSECTS THAT KIND OF MAKE SENSE BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THINGS AROUND EXITS. AND YOU KNOW THAT'S CORRECT. AND AS YOU WOULD SEE WE HAVE MIXED USE CORRIDORS COMING DOWN AS WELL CLOSER TO WHERE THAT LINE WOULD BE. AS I WAS SAYING, THESE ARE THE AIRPORT COMPATIBLE LAND USE. AND THIS IS IN THE CONTROL DEVELOPMENT. AND A SMALL PORTION OF IT IS CONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT APPROACH SURFACE.

THE OTHER ONE IS UNDER CONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT. AND THEN THE OTHER ASPECT OF IT WOULD BE AIRPORT IS IS ACTUALLY IN THE NOISE IS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE NOISE CONTOUR. SO THIS IS ON THE APPROACH TO AIRPORT. THE DEVELOPER ALREADY SHOWED EVEN THROUGH HIS SITE PLAN. SO I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THIS RATHER QUICKLY IF THAT'S OKAY. AS WAS STATED, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING 11 UNITS PER ACRE. THE R-2 ALLOWS UP TO 17 UNITS PER ACRE. SO HE IS PROPOSING A LOWER DENSITY PRODUCT THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED THROUGH THE ZONING. IT IS A SINGLE FAMILY, DETACHED, WHAT I'VE ALWAYS CALLED PADLOCK SITES. SO THE THE THE PROPERTY AS IT GETS SUBDIVIDED, IT'S JUST FOR THE HOME FOOTPRINT TYPICALLY. AND THEN THE REST, AS HE'S STATED, IS OWNED IN COMMON AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION. THERE ARE FIVE AMENITY. THE THE NUMBER OF UNITS OR THE BUILDINGS VARY. SOME OF THEM ARE 4 TO 8 UNITS ATTACHED. SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT. THERE ARE FIVE AMENITIES THAT ARE PROPOSED TO TWO PLAYGROUNDS, TWO DOG PARKS AND A PAVILION. SURROUNDING STREETS. HE ALREADY WENT THROUGH THIS. THE DEVELOPER DID THE SURROUNDING STREETS IN PUBLIC, WITH THE INTERIOR BEING PRIVATE. I WANTED TO ADDRESS THIS AND IT'S BEING PROPOSED TO BE BUILT IN.

I BELIEVE IT WAS. IT WAS FIVE PHASES. AND THEN THAT'S THE PHASING PLAN RIGHT THERE. AND THEN THIS IS JUST THE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR IT OVERALL PRETTY SHOWED THOSE I WANTED TO ADDRESS THIS WENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION I WANT TO THE PUBLIC. I KNOW THERE'S MANY PEOPLE FROM THE PUBLIC HERE TO SPEAK. THERE WAS A LOT OF COMMENTS IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING,

[01:25:05]

WHEN THEY REBUILD THE BRIDGE, THEY ACTUALLY TURNED OFF THE VALVES FOR THE WATER, THOSE WATER. ONCE THE BRIDGE WAS CONSTRUCTED TO ENGINEERING STANDARDS, THE THEY WERE THE VALVES WERE RETURNED ON OR TURNED BACK ON. HOWEVER, YOU WOULD SAY THAT THEY WERE TURNED BACK ON. AND SO THEN STAFF WENT OUT AND CHECKED THE WATER PRESSURE. THEY THEY WENT OUT.

YEAH. HE JUST STATED OUR PERSONNEL VERIFIED 55 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH PSI AT EACH RESIDENCE. THIS WAS AN EMAIL THAT WAS SENT BACK IN JANUARY. THEY WENT BACK OUT AND CHECKED THE WATER PRESSURE, AND THEY FOUND THE WATER PRESSURE TO MEET STANDARDS FOR THE CITY. SO IT WAS TURNED OFF WHEN THEY WHEN THAT BRIDGE WAS BEING PUT IN. BUT BECAUSE THERE'S A WATER LINE RIGHT UNDER IT, JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE. AND THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS, THAT WAS WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH THAT. AND THAT WAS SO THEY WENT OUT AND THIS EMAIL CAME ON JANUARY 5TH. SO THEY WENT OUT AND DOUBLE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE WATER PRESSURE AND IT DOES MEET STANDARDS. ALSO, THERE WAS A QUESTION REGARDING THE BRIDGE AND SAGE LAKES BOULEVARD. JUST SO THE CITY COUNCIL IS AWARE, THE APPLICANT HAS PUT DIVISION 26. THERE'S A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT ATTACHED TO THAT THAT NO, NO CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL THE BRIDGE IS COMPLETE. WE ARE CURRENTLY THE THE BUILDING PERMITS HAVE BEEN PULLED FOR A NUMBER OF THOSE HOMES. HOWEVER THEY ARE STILL CONSTRUCTING THEM OUT. WE WILL NOT ISSUE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY UNTIL THAT BRIDGE IS SIGNED OFF AND APPROVED. SO THIS BRIDGE, IT ALSO HAS BEEN THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SAGE LAKES HAS BEEN FUNDED. SO THE FINANCIAL ASSURANCE HAS BEEN PUT UP. SO EVEN IF THE DEVELOPER WERE TO GO BANKRUPT OR SOME FINANCIAL INSTABILITY THERE, WE HAVE THE MONEY TO CONSTRUCT IT OURSELVES IF NEEDS BE. SO IN ESSENCE, THE BRIDGE IS GOING IN AND SAGE LAKES BOULEVARD IS GOING IN AS WELL, NO MATTER WHAT. SO THAT WAS AN ISSUE THAT CAME UP THROUGH THE PUBLIC COMMENT AS WELL. THE OTHER ELEMENT WAS I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS IN THE SITE PLAN. SO THESE BLACK LINES RIGHT HERE ARE THE INTERNAL TRAIL SYSTEM THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED BY THE DEVELOPER. THOSE DO CONNECT TO THE SIDEWALK NETWORK THAT WILL BE ESTABLISHED ALONG SAGE LAKES AND SAGE LAKES BOULEVARD. THE EXISTING LEWISVILLE LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY WILL BE BUILT OUT, AND THERE IS PROPOSED A BIKE AND TRAIL SYSTEM ADJACENT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY. SO THE I SAY ALL THIS BECAUSE THE TRAIL SYSTEM THAT'S BEING PROPOSED WILL CONNECT INTO THE SIDEWALK NETWORK, THE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS NETWORK, AND CONNECT TO THE KIDNEYS FURTHER. THE STREET NETWORK THAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS A PROPOSED TO EVENTUALLY CONNECT. THIS IS A THIS LITTLE LINE RIGHT HERE IS A SECONDARY ACCESS TO THE R-2 DEVELOPMENT.

THAT'S ACTUALLY THAT TRIANGLE PIECE JUST TO THE NORTH. SO THEN WE WILL HAVE TWO ACCESS POINTS PER FIRE REGULATIONS. AND OH, ONE OTHER ELEMENT THAT I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT JUST TO, THERE WAS ANOTHER IN REGARDS TO THE ZONING. THERE WAS SOME CONCERN THAT WAS EXPRESSED ABOUT THE ZONING FOR THE PROPERTY, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO ADJACENT TO THIS

[01:30:01]

BUT COMMERCIAL IS PROPOSED ALONG LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY. TYPICALLY COMMERCIAL DOESN'T GET BUILT. WHAT YOU SEE IN CONSTRUCTION IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ROOFTOPS TO HAVE THE BUYING POWER TO ACTUALLY SPUR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SO USUALLY YOU'LL HAVE A IT'S KIND OF LIKE A WAVE THAT YOU SEE. YOU'LL SEE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT DEVELOP AND THEN YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL COME AFTER THAT. THE ONLY REASON I SAY THAT IS THIS WAS BROUGHT UP AS A CONCERN, THAT THERE'S NO COMMERCIAL OUT THERE, AND IT JUST TAKES TIME FOR THAT TO COME TO FRUITION. SO I JUST POINT THOSE OUT. AS I SAID, THERE WAS A NUMBER OF COMMENTS MADE AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID SEND A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THAT WAS NOT A UNANIMOUS VOTE. IT WAS VOTED 5 TO 1. IT DID PASS. BUT WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ON THE REGULATORY SIDE, MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENT SIDE WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPER. HE CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT OUR GOLF COURSE AND AND THE CONNECTION. AND IS THAT THE IS THAT A HOLE THAT IT'S ON NORTH BORDER. IT'S JUST THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. IT'S JUST AN ACCESS AND THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THAT ACCESS BEING THERE WAS TO PROVIDE THAT SECONDARY ACCESS FOR FIRE, BUT IT'S NOT PART OF OUR CURRENT GOLF COURSE, THAT GREEN SPACE ABOVE IT. IT IS A GOLF COURSE. YES. AND THEN THE, THE THAT'S A LIKE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO OVER OR UNDER. YEAH. I DON'T KNOW I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S ONLY SET ASIDE AS ACCESS. SO THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DETERMINED. I'M KIND OF POINTING A LITTLE JUST BEING THE PLANNER THAT I AM. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE, AND IT'S MOSTLY BECAUSE THIS TRIANGLE PIECE, WE'VE HAD INQUIRIES ABOUT IT, AND THERE IS A SECONDARY ACCESS POINT. SO AND THEN WHEN YOU SAY ACCESS, DOES THAT MEAN VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIAN OR CAN IT BE ALL EITHER OR BOTH. IT CAN BE OKAY.

WELL WHAT DID WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL. OKAY, OKAY, I HAVE A QUESTION I GUESS MORE FOR CLARIFICATION. SO THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT ZONES. THERE'S THE YELLOW AND THE KIND OF A ORANGE. YEAH. YEAH. THOSE THAT ZONE YOU SPEAK INTO. SORRY THAT ZONING HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT WAS THE ZONING THAT WAS DESIGNATED AT THE TIME OF ANNEXATION IN 2019. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR DIRECTOR CENTER? OKAY. GO AHEAD. COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS FOR FOR COUNCIL. YES.

GO AHEAD. SO YOU ADDRESS THE WATER PRESSURE ISSUE FOR THE CURRENT RESIDENTS. THEY'RE ASKING WHAT THE EFFECT IS GOING TO BE BY ADDING THESE NEW DWELLINGS TO THE WATER SYSTEM AND HOW THE CITY HAS ANTICIPATED THAT NEW DEMAND, EVEN IF IT'S SURFACE IRRIGATION, IT'S STILL DEMAND BY EACH DWELLING. YEAH. AND I'M NOT AN ENGINEER. SO WHEN I DID POSE THAT QUESTION BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND WITH DAVE RICHARDS SAID IS I PERSONALLY REVIEWED THIS AND IT AND IT MEETS OUR CODE, WE HAVE CAPACITY FOR IT. SO ANYTHING BEYOND THAT, I KNOW THAT'S KIND OF A CANNED ANSWER, BUT I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS BECAUSE I'M NOT AN ENGINEER. AND THEN GOING WITH THIS ACCESS TO THE NORTH, WHAT DOES IT CONNECT TO THAT WOULD ALLOW FIRE TRUCKS TO GET IN THERE? WE'LL HAVE TO RESOLVE THAT WHEN THE PROPOSAL COMES UP HERE. BUT THE KEY WAS THAT WE HAD A SECONDARY ACCESS AND THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT ATTACHED TO IT, THAT WAS PRIMARILY WHAT IT WAS. I AS I SAID, I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL. WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE, IT'S JUST TO PROVIDE THAT SECONDARY ACCESS IS THERE AND THIS DEVELOPMENT CONNECTS TO IT.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY. IS IT ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT AFTER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DWELLINGS ARE BUILT, THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE SECOND ACCESS, LIKE WE WENT THROUGH BEFORE? NO, IT'S, IT'S IT'S THE NUMBER OF UNITS. AND I'M, I'M NOT WITH FIRE ON THAT REGARD. BUT I KNOW THEY HAVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF UNITS AND YOU ALWAYS NEED A SECONDARY ACCESS. AND THE R-2 TO THE NORTH WILL PROBABLY REQUIRE A SECONDARY ACCESS. AND SO THIS DEVELOPMENT IS CONNECTED TO THAT TO PROVIDE THAT OLD FIRE TRUCK. AND YOU SAID THE ZONING WAS DONE IN

[01:35:06]

LIKE BUT WE HAVE THAT'S WHY THERE'S A STREET ON THAT EAST SIDE TO CONNECT. SORRY. COUNCIL MEMBER. THAT'S WHAT I THINK THAT IT WAS. THERE'S THERE'S ENOUGH ACCESS TO THE CURRENT LOT. IT'S THAT TRIANGULAR PIECE IN THE FUTURE. AND SO THEY JUST ALIGNED IT TO SHOW IF THAT TRIANGULAR PIECE NEEDED ACCESS. GOT IT. THAT'S THE SECONDARY. THAT'S NOT. SORRY IF I WAS CONFUSING ON THAT I DON'T KNOW. THIS IS A LEGAL QUESTION OR A QUESTION FOR YOU OR BOTH. OKAY.

BUT YOU COULD TELL FROM MY QUESTION TO THE DEVELOPER IN R-2 YOU CAN BUILD THREE STORY 360, BUT I'M IF I THINK ABOUT THIS, THAT WOULDN'T WORK IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW BASED ON WHAT'S AROUND THERE AND ALL MY READING. SO WE HAVE WHEN WE DO PUDS, WE HAVE MORE POWER AS COUNCIL TO ACTUALLY INFLUENCE WHAT HAPPENS. CAN WE WRITE IN THAT REASON STATEMENT THAT INSTEAD OF IT SHOWS TWO STORIES, IT LIMITED TWO STORIES SINCE THE DEVELOPER HAS AGREED TO THAT? BASICALLY, YEAH. THAT IS A LEGAL QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A TAKING OR NOT BECAUSE HE HAS BY RIGHT WITH THE R-2 TO HAVE A HEIGHT LIMIT. I WOULD DEFER TO THAT ON THAT ONE. I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. IF WE CAN RESTRICT THAT OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I'D HAVE TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THAT. I'D BE HESITANT TO DO THAT JUST FOR WHAT DIRECTOR SANDER TALKED ABOUT WITH ABOUT POTENTIAL TAKINGS. BECAUSE IF IT'S PERMITTED UNDER THE ZONING FOR 36FT, AND THEN I'D BE HESITANT TO TO PUT THAT AS A CONDITION.

BUT WE DO HAVE MORE INFLUENCE THAN WE DO UNDER A SIMPLE R-2 ZONING, WHERE ANYTHING WITH R2 IS ALLOWABLE. PUD IS A LITTLE BIT CONDITION BECAUSE WE ARE SAYING WE'RE GIVING UP SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS YOU CAN CONDITION. I, I HAVE SEEN WHERE DEVELOPERS SELF-IMPOSE THAT AS WELL. YEAH. AND THEN THE REASON I HAVE THAT IS I'M THINKING ABOUT SO MUCH OF THIS IS SINGLE FAMILY, LARGE LOTS LOOKING ACROSS THE STREET, I SEE THE DEVELOPER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IN TWO STORIES, AND VISUAL THREE WOULD BE DIFFERENT, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A SURPRISE TO PEOPLE. SO I'M ASKING LAST QUESTION DOES ANY OF THIS INVOLVE A DRIVE AISLE? BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S PRIVATE STREETS. I GOT THAT, BUT ARE THERE ANY DRIVE AISLES BUILT INTO THIS PLAN? NO, THEY ARE PRIVATE STREETS. OKAY. I DON'T LOVE PRIVATE STREETS. I HATE DRIVE OUTS. SURE. OKAY. OKAY, OKAY. WE WILL. THE WAY THAT THIS WILL PROCEED IS WE WILL BEGIN WITH THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY, AND WE WOULD ASK YOU TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. AND WE WILL ALLOW, YOU KNOW, ROUGHLY THREE MINUTES AS YOUR TIME GETS CLOSE. WE'LL LET YOU KNOW AS YOUR TIME GETS CLOSER TO WRAP UP. AND AND THEN WE WILL ALLOW FOR REBUTTAL OF THE DEVELOPER. AND SO WE WOULD BEGIN BY ASKING ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO GIVE PUBLIC TESTIMONY FOR THIS PUD TO PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM. FIRST. THERE IS ALL WE ALL NEED TO GET RAISED. GET UP HERE.

SHOW THEM AND HELLO TO MY NEIGHBORS. MY NAME IS ALISON PITKIN. I LIVE AT 35 NAVARRO DRIVE HERE IN FAIRWAY ESTATES. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF OUR DEVELOPER TO TRY AND MAKE THIS FIT WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE THAT YOU GUYS PROBABLY SAW IN THE ELECTION IS THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS GROWING SMARTLY IN A WAY THAT HONORS CURRENT RESIDENTS. ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE WITH THIS, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT STAGE, LAKE BOULEVARD, I KNOW YOU ALL KNOW THAT BRIDGE NOT OPERATIONAL, THAT ROAD DOESN'T

[01:40:03]

THEY SAW A PLOT LIKE THIS. THEY SAID, OH, THERE'S A SPOT WE'LL PUT A ROAD IN EVENTUALLY. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. IT GOT PASSED TO THE NEXT GROUP AND THE NEXT GROUP. AND WE CURRENTLY HAVE A ROAD ON EAGLEWOOD, WHICH IS FURTHER DOWN THERE THAT CONNECTS TO POVERO. THAT IS AN ACCESS POINT FOR OUR EMERGENCY SERVICES. IT DEAD ENDS TO A BARRICADE AND A BARRIER, AND BEYOND THAT IS THE HATCH PIT. THERE'S NO ACCESS OUT. IN 2017, WE HAD A MASSIVE LIGHTNING STORM. THUNDER. IT KNOCKED DOWN ALL THE TREES. 33RD NORTH WAS CLOSED. EAST RIVER ROAD WAS CLOSED. THE LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY WAS ALSO CLOSED. MY SON HAD A FIRE THAT OCCURRED IN OUR BACKYARD FROM A LIGHTNING STRIKE WE CALLED. IT TOOK 17 MINUTES FOR THE EMERGENCY SERVICES TO GET THERE. BY THAT TIME, WE AND OTHER NEIGHBORS PUT OUT THAT FIRE. IT IS HIGHLY CONCERNING TO ME AS A RESIDENT, THAT WE ARE NOW ADDING MORE THAN 200 NEW HOMES THERE. AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS HERE IS THAT WE'RE ADDING THIS ON A ROAD THAT IS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. YET THESE ARE CONSIDERED TWO SEPARATE NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY'RE ON DIFFERENT HOAS WERE NOT PERMITTED TO BE UTILIZING THESE GREEN SPACES. YOU KNOW, THE COMMON FRONT YARD OF SOMEBODY'S HOUSE. WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY ACCESS POINT YET. THEY ARE USING THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD THAT WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THE CITY FOR SEVEN YEARS NOW TO GET A BRIDGE THERE. SO WE HAVE ACCESS. IT'S STILL NOT OPERATIONAL. WE THE REASON THAT IS BONDED IS BECAUSE THIS GROUP OF NEIGHBORS FOUGHT AND FOUGHT AND FOUGHT WITH THE CITY AND THE PLANNING ZONE AND SAID, WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS DEVELOPER'S EVER GOING TO PUT THIS IN. HE COULD BUILD RIGHT UP TO THAT POINT AND NEVER CONNECT IT. AND THAT IS WHY THE CITY, WITH THE CODES AND LIMITATIONS THAT THEY HAD GRACIOUSLY SAID, LET'S FORCE THEM TO BOND IT THAT WAY.

WE AT LEAST PROTECT YOU. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE OTHER MOMENTS WHERE WE ASK FOR YOUR PROTECTION. WE DON'T HATE GROWTH. WE DON'T WANT TO BLOCK NEIGHBORS. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S DONE IN A SMART WAY. WE WANT TO PROTECT OUR HOME VALUES. WE LIVE AROUND A GOLF COURSE. I'M NOT A WEALTHY PERSON. MY HOME IS AN OLDER ONE. IT WAS BUILT IN 1998, BUT I HAVE ALMOST A HALF ACRE OF YARD. I HAVE MATURE LANDSCAPE, I HAVE A WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY ACCESS POINT TO THE CITY. WE HAVE ZERO SIDEWALKS ON EAST RIVER ROAD OR THE LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY. WE DON'T HAVE GREEN SPACE THAT WE CAN USE, THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPER SAID. LOOK AT ALL THAT GREEN. LOOK AT THE GOLF COURSE. AND THE GOLF COURSE HAS BIG SIGNS THAT SAY STAY OFF. THIS IS NOT PUBLIC GREEN SPACE THAT WE CAN HAVE ACCESS. SO IF THE DEVELOPER IS SO GRACIOUSLY LOOKING AT THIS, IMAGINE IF PLAN. HERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT ARE MISSING. WE DON'T HAVE A WALKABLE ACCESS FOR OUR CITY. WE DON'T HAVE USABLE GREEN SPACE THAT WE CAN USE, AND NOW WE'RE USING OUR ONE NEW ACCESS POINT OUT FOR ALL OF THESE NEIGHBORS OVER A MILE WORTH TO GET EMERGENCY SERVICES THROUGH. AND WE'RE GOING TO PUT ANOTHER 250 PLUS HOMES. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT TOTAL USING OUR ROAD. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THAT BRIDGE IS EXPENSIVE, AND IT'S EXPENSIVE TO PUT IT OVER THE CANAL, AND NONE OF THE DEVELOPERS WANT TO DO IT. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO JUST CREATE MORE PROBLEMS. IF THAT ROAD GETS BLOCKED AGAIN AND WE HAVE ANOTHER GRASS FIRE BEHIND US. WE HAD A GRASS FIRE THIS SUMMER IN THE HATCH PIT. ONCE AGAIN, EMERGENCY SERVICES COULDN'T ACCESS IT AND THEY HAD TO PULL IN THE WILDLAND FIRE TRUCKS TO GET BACK THERE TO GET THROUGH. IF WE DON'T PRIORITIZE ACCESS AND ROADS, SIDEWALKS FOR RESIDENTS AND CREATE THIS, WE'RE MISSING A BIG PART OF THIS COMMUNITY PLAN. I KNOW SOME OF MY OTHER NEIGHBORS CAN SPEAK TO THE WATER PRESSURE ISSUES. MY QUICK THOUGHT IS THEY MEASURED IT IN JANUARY. I'D LIKE THEM TO COME OUT IN JUNE AND IN AUGUST WHEN WE'RE WATERING OUR YARDS, BECAUSE IF YOU TRY AND SHOWER IN THE MORNING WHEN EVERYONE'S GETTING READY FOR WORK, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WATER PRESSURE. I'M SURE I COULD KEEP GOING, BUT I KNOW MY TIME IS UP. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. SORRY.

WE'RE GOING TO FOR FOR THE NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE JUST KEEP THE THE CLAPPING DOWN JUST TO SHOW RESPECT. OKAY. ANY ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO TO SPEAK. WELCOME TO THE PODIUM. IF YOU'LL GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE. MY NAME IS DEREK SONNTAG. I LIVE AT 5188 GRASSY HILL IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO APPEAL TO YOU GUYS.

I HEARD YOU TALK EARLIER ABOUT ZONING AND HOW IT NEEDS TO MAKE SENSE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER PROJECT. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT BECAME R2 OR R3 HERE. CLEARLY, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THEM ARE HERE, BUT I'VE TALKED

[01:45:02]

I JUST. I HOPE YOU GUYS WILL CONSIDER US CITIZENS OF IDAHO FALLS AND THE RESIDENTS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I'M ALSO NOT OPPOSED TO GROWTH, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS ONE MAKES SENSE. SO I HOPE YOU GUYS WILL PRIORITIZE OUR CITIZENS OVER OUT-OF-STATE DEVELOPERS. SO THAT'S A. HELLO.

MY NAME IS AMBER REYNOLDS. I LIVE AT 5288 CYPRESS CREEK, IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO. CYPRESS CREEK RUNS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THAT LITTLE RED PLAT MAP. SO I LIVE FIVE HOUSES AWAY. IT IS A VERY IDYLLIC NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN, YOUNGER CHILDREN, AND MULTIPLE HOUSES ON MY STREET ON CYPRESS CREEK HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND THE CHILDREN RUN TO EACH OTHER.

HOUSES WE ALL NEED, LIKE THOSE ROTATING DOORS AND BIG BUSINESSES BECAUSE THE KIDS RUN AND PLAY AND ARE BEING CHILDREN, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT A MINIMUM OF 250 EXTRA CARS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I DO TALK TO MY CHILDREN AND I KNOW MY NEIGHBOR.

WE TALKED TO OUR CHILDREN ABOUT SAFETY. DON'T JUST RUN OUT ON THE ROAD, BUT CHILDREN ARE CHILDREN AND THEY GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT. AGAIN, I AM NOT ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING HOMES. I AM NOT OPPOSED TO BUILDING. BUT I THINK. THE PUD, WITH AS MANY UNITS RIGHT NEXT TO LIKE. I WALK OUT MY FRONT YARD AND I WILL SEE IT. I DON'T THINK THAT IT FITS WITH THE ESTHETICS, THE LIFESTYLE THAT WE DESIRE AND THAT WE BOUGHT INTO WHEN WE PURCHASED AND MOVED INTO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. ALSO, I WORK AT ETHEL BOYES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I WORK FOR DISTRICT 91, OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE ABOVE 90% CAPACITY. I KNOW THAT NORTH OF THIS PUD, THERE ARE SEVERAL DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE BEING BUILT AS WELL. THEY'RE UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERS. I'M JUST MAKING AN ESTIMATE. BUT I BELIEVE YOU'RE LOOKING INCLUDING IF THIS PUD IS BUILT, YOU HAVE 500 PLUS 600 PLUS NEW HOMES. WHERE ARE THESE CHILDREN GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL? BECAUSE THEY ARE, THEY WILL BE OVERFLOWING. OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WILL BE BURSTING. THE SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL BOUNDARY IS TEMPLE VIEW FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL. SO I JUST ASK YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER IS THIS PUD GOING TO MAKE THIS AREA A SAFE AND HAPPY PLACE? THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WHO IS HERE TO TESTIFY? YES. SO MY NAME IS ZACH BENNETT, 40 POVERO IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO. THAT PUTS ME AT THE OUTLET ON FIFTH WEST, ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR INTERSECTIONS IN TOWN. I'M JUST ASKING THE COUNCIL IF YOU DO GO WITH THE RECOMMENDATION HERE, I ASK THAT YOU HOLD THE LINE ON THE BRIDGE AND THAT THERE'S NO END ACUITY IN THE LANGUAGE IN WHAT A FUNCTIONAL, USABLE BRIDGE IS. THERE HAS BEEN A BRIDGE THERE. THERE'S BEEN TWO BRIDGES THERE. AND IF IF THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION BRIDGE COMPLETED AND FINISHED TO ME

[01:50:01]

ANYONE FURTHER? YES, PLEASE. CURTIS. HEY, MICHAEL. I'M AT 275 PEVERIL FALLS, IDAHO. ALSO CLOSE TO THE END. I THINK MOST OF THE ISSUES HAVE BEEN COVERED. MY, MY, I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE OTHER TWO PIECES. EAST RIVER ROAD IS COMPLETELY BY THE TIME THE DEVELOPMENTS ARE ALL DONE ON EAST RIVER ROAD RIGHT NOW AND SOUTH OF HERITAGE HILLS, THERE'S 2 OR 3 OTHER DEVELOPMENTS, AND YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE IDAHO FALLS SITE INFRASTRUCTURE, ALL DUMPS ONTO THAT ROAD. RIGHT NOW THAT ROAD HAS POWER LINES ON ONE SIDE, CANALS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

THERE'S NO EASY WAY TO MOVE ANY OF THAT STUFF AT THIS POINT. I MEAN, UNLESS WE'RE WAITING UNTIL FOR TEN YEARS, UNTIL WHATEVER WE DO WITH THE HIGHWAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO LIVE WITH THIS ACCESS AND JUST PUTTING A TURN LANE ON THIS OTHER ROAD IS NOT GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE TYPE OF TRAFFIC WE HAVE. AND THAT GOES TO AND WE HAVE NO ACCESS HAS BEEN PUT OUT. THERE IS NO SAFE WAY OTHER THAN IN A CAR, AND EVEN THAT'S MARGINAL TO GET FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD INTO TOWN RIGHT NOW. AND IF YOU WANT TO WALK OR RIDE A BIKE OR DO ANYTHING ELSE, YOU'RE LITERALLY TAKING YOUR HAND, YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS. AND THAT'S FOR ALL OUR KIDS. OUR KIDS CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. AND AND THERE'S ONLY ONE SCHOOL EVEN CLOSE AT THIS POINT. SO IT'S NOT JUST THIS. IT'S THE FACT THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED ALL UP AND DOWN THAT ROAD WITH HONESTLY, NO INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THAT'S NOT A CITY ROAD, IT'S COUNTY. BOTH OF THOSE ARE COUNTY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PURVIEW ANY OF YOU HAVE ON CHANGING ANYTHING ON THOSE TWO ROADS. SO WE ALL JUST DO THIS AND WE SAY, WELL, I GUESS YOU LIVE THERE. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER TESTIMONY? HELLO. I'M NOT EVEN SURE I'M PERMITTED TO SPEAK, SO I'M GOING TO ASK IF I CAN. I'M ACTUALLY IN THE COUNTY. YOU'RE PERMITTED TO SPEAK. YES. MY NAME IS TERRY MCISAAC. I LIVE AT 6724 NORTH LINDA LANE. IT'S PART OF J AND K ESTATES SOUTHWEST, 65TH NORTH. AND ALL OF THIS DEVELOPMENT HAS GREATLY INCREASED THE TRAFFIC ON 65TH NORTH. A LOT OF THAT TRAFFIC IS ALSO CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES. A LOT OF LARGE VEHICLES CARRYING GRAVEL OR SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I DO KNOW THAT MY SHOULDERS HAVE TO BE REPLACED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO RIDE YOUR BIKE TO WALK. J AND K STATES DOES NOT HAVE GREEN SPACE OR PATHS. I KNOW WE'RE NOT IN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY IS OKAY WITH THAT. ANYWAY, THAT'S MY COMMENT IS CAN WE TAKE A BIGGER LOOK AT THIS? AND I THINK J AND K ESTATES IS PART OF THE CITY'S.

EVENTUAL GROWTH AREA. AND SO I PREFER THAT WE CAN SLOW THIS DOWN. IF WE COULD. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANYONE FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. HI. MY NAME IS ELISE DURFEE AND I LIVE ON 52. I LIVE ON CYPRESS CREEK. I CAN'T THINK OF MY ADDRESS RIGHT NOW. I'M SORRY I HAVE SEVERE ANXIETY, BUT I AM HERE BECAUSE I AM. I AM HAPPY THAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE TRYING TO

[01:55:05]

LIKE I JUST BEING ON CYPRESS CREEK AND THEY'RE LIKE, THIS IS OUR HOUSES ARE THE WHATEVER.

LIKE, WHAT IS IT? YEAH, THE BUFFER, BUT WE ARE THE BUFFER. AND THERE IS JUST SO, SO MANY CHILDREN. AND SO I JUST WANT TO TAKE THOSE THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION. I KNOW THEY TALK ABOUT THERE IS A SCHOOL GOING IN ON THE EAST SIDE. IT'S A GEM PREP. IT IS NOT IT'S NOT A DISTRICT. ANY ONE SCHOOL YOU HAVE TO GET IN THE LOTTERY. I KNOW THAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT SAYING THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A SCHOOL, BUT THERE'S NOT A SCHOOL, AND OTHER THAN A CHARTER SCHOOL. AND SO THAT'S ALSO IT'S JUST SO MUCH TRAFFIC IN THIS AREA, STREETS. HOW HE WAS TALKING ABOUT I HAVE GONE OUT ON THE STREET AND THERE ARE JUST PEOPLE RUNNING ACROSS AND YOU, YOU JUST CAN'T SEE. AND I JUST FEEL LIKE THE INFRASTRUCTURE JUST NEEDS TO BE HERE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY.

YEAH. SORRY. YEAH. THAT'S OKAY. IF YOU COULD JUST APPROACH THE PODIUM AS YOU THINK YOU. HI, MY NAME IS MCKENZIE BEARDEN AND I LIVE ON 5279 INGLEWOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND A LOT OF THE THINGS I WAS GOING TO SAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAID. SO I WON'T REPEAT THOSE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT MY FEELINGS INTO THOSE AS WELL AND SAY THAT I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID, AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE DEVELOPERS. HONESTLY, THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE COME FORWARD WITH AND THE THINGS THEY HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE TO WORK WITH US, I FEEL LIKE IS EXTREMELY KIND, BUT SADLY I STILL FEEL AGAINST IT. I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW IMPORTANT THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS TO ME. MY GRANDFATHER ACTUALLY DONATED THE LAND FOR THE SAGE LAKES GOLF COURSE AND HE STARTED FAIRWAY ESTATES, SO I, I WAS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST HOUSES AND VERY ESTATES. I GREW UP THERE, I LOVED IT, I WAS THE KID RIDING AROUND ON THE STREETS, PLAYING WITH FRIENDS. AND THEN WHEN THE TIME CAME THAT I HAD MY OWN FAMILY, I MOVED MY OWN FAMILY, MY HUSBAND, MY TWO KIDS, RIGHT BACK INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THAT'S HOW STRONGLY I FEEL ABOUT IT. AND THE WORDS THAT MAYOR BURTENSHAW USED WHEN SHE TALKED AT THE VERY BEGINNING WAS KEEPING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, KEEPING OUR TOWN, KEEPING OUR CITY HAPPY AND SAFE. AND I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WITH THAT. THAT'S WHY I LIVE HERE. THAT'S WHY I LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I WANT TO KEEP IT HAPPY, AND I WANT TO KEEP IT SAFE. AND I FEEL LIKE WITH THE DEVELOPMENTS AND WITH THE HOMES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, THAT GOES AGAINST IT. FOR ME, KEEPING THIS LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD HAPPY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND. ALAN WINSTON, I HAVE A HOME ON INGLEWOOD UP TOWARDS THE END. A LOT OF GREAT THINGS HAVE COME OUT OF THIS MEETING TODAY. I THINK EVERYBODY HERE FEELS THAT THE DEVELOPER IS TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS. AND MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE CITY INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT'S HOLDING. I THINK EVERYBODY BACK IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE THERE.

THAT INCLUDES ROAD CAPACITY, THAT INCLUDES WATER. AS YOU'VE HEARD, IT INCLUDES SCHOOLS. IT INCLUDES EVEN A BUFFER ZONE. I THINK THAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT HERE TO SEE IF THERE ISN'T SOME

[02:00:03]

I'VE HEARD THAT DISCUSSED A COUPLE OF TIMES AMONG THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT MIGHT PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL CAPACITY THERE. AND THEN I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE PRIVATE ROADS AND THE ACCESS TO THE GREEN AREAS THAT HAD BEEN MENTIONED, THAT THAT THERE WOULD BE ACCESS TO THE DOG PARK AND TO SOME OF THOSE AREAS, TO THE EXISTING HOMES THAT ARE THERE. AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THAT'S REAL OR IF THAT'S JUST A COMMENT THAT WAS SAID, IF THAT'S ACCURATE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW THAT WE WOULD LET THE DEVELOPER GIVE THAT IN HIS REBUTTAL IF YOU WOULD LIKE? OKAY, THAT'D BE GREAT. THE LAST POINT ON CAPACITY IS NOT ONLY JUST FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. I KNOW THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. I HAPPEN TO LIVE ON THE END OF INGLEWOOD, WHERE IF YOU SEE THAT CONNECTOR ROAD THAT GOES TO THE TRIANGLE ON THE LEFT AND THEN THE ONE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED TO GO ON THE RIGHT OF THAT TRIANGLE, THAT WILL ALSO HAVE CAPACITY ISSUES AT SOME POINT THAT WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT FOR US TO CONSIDER THAT CONCEPT AT THE SAME TIME AS WE'RE BUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THIS. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. HELLO, EVERYONE. APPRECIATE YOU TAKING MY MY COMMENTS. MY NAME IS JIM MATHESON. I LIVE IN FAIRWAY ESTATES ON ROCK HOLLOW LANE. LOT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE ACCESS TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I GUESS MY POINT TONIGHT IS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE. I ALSO WANT TO COMMENT OR DEVELOPERS. THEY HAVE TRIED TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO TRY TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT THE CITIZENS HAVE. THE ACCESS FROM FIFTH WEST IS NOT A A GOOD ENTRANCE OR EXIT, OR FOR THAT MATTER, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME TURN LANES THAT HAVE BEEN PUT DOWN ON TOWARDS THE HATCH PIN AND THE DEPRESSION THERE WITH THAT MODIFICATION HAS BEEN POOR AT BEST. THAT ROAD IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE LIKE MOTORCYCLE AND A FEW CARS THAT SHOULD GO THROUGH THERE AT ALL. MY MAJOR CONCERN, THOUGH IT'S MINE, IS ALSO ABOUT THE THE DIFFERENT TYPE HOMES THAT ARE GOING IN ALONG FIFTH WEST. WE'VE BEEN TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS AS WELL AS TOWNHOMES. MY IMPRESSION SO FAR, WITH DEFERENCE TO THE CITY, IS THAT SOME OF THE ZONING AND CONSTRUCTION AREAS ON FIFTH WEST, OFF OF FIFTH WEST ARE MISMATCHED AT BEST. THERE ARE HOMES ALONG FIFTH WEST THAT ARE MILLION DOLLAR HOMES. RIGHT NEXT TO THEM ARE TOWNHOMES THAT HAVE A CLEARLY LOWER MARKET VALUE. I DON'T KNOW HOW INDIVIDUALS ON THAT ROAD THAT LIVE ON THAT ROAD CAN POSSIBLY APPRECIATE THE DECREASE IN VALUE THAT GOES IN FROM THE NEXT TO THEIR PROPERTY. THERE IS ONE ON TOWNHOMES THAT ARE GOING IN ON POST INDEPENDENCE DRIVE, 3825 NORTH. RIGHT NEXT TO THAT IS A SERIES OF BARRETT LIKE HOMES. WHO KNOWS 100 OF THOSE THAT ARE ALL THE SAME IDENTICAL HOMES. FOR MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS OR RESIDENTS IN THOSE HOMES. AND THAT LOCATION IS RIGHT NEXT TO. LET ME GET THIS WRONG. HERITAGE HILLS SUBDIVISION THAT ARE

[02:05:18]

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. FRANKLY, I THINK THE CITY COUNCIL NEEDS TO CONSIDER THE LONGER TERM DEVELOPMENT AND HOW WE PLACE THESE DIFFERENT ZONES. THEY CAN BE DIFFERENT DONATIONS FROM THE CITY, BUT THE MISMATCH IN VALUES IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM GOING FORWARD. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. IN THE NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT, WHERE WE HAVE TOWNHOUSES RIGHT NEXT TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. I APPRECIATE THAT THE PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET IN THE PAST FOR OUR HOME SUBDIVISION, FAIRWAY ESTATES. THAT WAS ALL DEVELOPMENT IN SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. WE ARE TRANSPLANTS FROM ANOTHER STATE. WE CAME HERE WE FIVE YEARS AGO, SIX YEARS AGO NOW TO LIVE IN IDAHO FALLS. WE WERE ATTRACTED HERE BY THE SUBDIVISIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE. WE CHOSE THIS LOCATION IN FAIRWAY ESTATES AND IT'S BEEN A DELIGHTFUL PLACE, AND WE'RE STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE ACCESS WAY ON FIFTH WEST IN INTEREST. I'VE SAID TOO MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? OKAY. YES. BRAD WHIPPLE, FOLLOWED BY SUZANNE AVENUE FALLS. I FIGURE I'LL GIVE A FEW WORDS, ACTUALLY IN DEFENSE OF THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN ON THE BUSINESS END OF A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE, AND HOW GRUELING CAN KIND OF BE. YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF TALK ABOUT NEEDING THE GROWTH, NEEDING THE HOUSING, AND THEN EVERYONE KIND OF SAYS, WELL, WANT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. I MEAN, I LOOK AT A PROJECT LIKE THIS, I THINK OF, HOW CAN I DO IT BETTER, HOW WOULD I CHANGE IT? AND I DON'T THINK I'VE GOT ANY IDEAS ON HOW I WOULD DO THIS ANY BETTER. HE'S GOT THE BUFFER ZONE, SO HE'S PUTTING IN THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES FOR THESE TOWNHOMES. THAT'S THAT'S BEEN THE BIG PAIN POINT OF THIS LAST COLLECTION OF GROWTH IS BIG HOMES NEXT TO APARTMENTS. BUT I THINK HE'S GOT THE THE CURE FOR THAT ALREADY WITH THE ANY OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES PEOPLE CAN PURCHASE THOSE THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING NEXT TO TOWNHOMES. AND AS FAR AS ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE ROADS, SCHOOLS, I MEAN, THAT'S UP TO THE TAXPAYER TO PUT THAT TO A BOND FOR THE SCHOOL AND TO THE ROADS. I MEAN, THIS PROPERTY OWNER IS GOING TO HAVE JUST AS MUCH RIGHT TO THE ROADS AS ANYONE ELSE. THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A TOWNHOME. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WATER IS SET.

AND AS LONG AS THAT BRIDGE, YOU KNOW, SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S BONDED AS WELL AS THE ROAD, THAT'S A GUARANTEED. I COULDN'T FIND A SINGLE THING REALLY WRONG WITH THAT. THE TOWNHOMES IS, OF COURSE, THE BIG ONE. BUT AGAIN, THAT'S SURROUNDED BY BY PROPERTIES HE'S BUILDING. SO ANYONE THAT GOES IN THERE, THAT'S THAT'S THE BUFFER ZONE. THEY'RE GOING INTO A BUFFER ZONE THAT THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING IN. NOT BEING SURPRISED OR BLINDSIDED BY TOWNHOMES.

THEY'RE. HI, I'M SARAH WILLIAMS 5355 EAGLEWOOD DRIVE. I APPRECIATE THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR PLAN. I HAVE A COUPLE OF IDEAS. ONE, THE WHOLE BUFFER ZONE. WHAT IF INSTEAD OF HAVING THE HOUSES BE THE BUFFER, WHY NOT THE PARKS BE THE BUFFER TO KIND OF GIVE A SEPARATION FROM

[02:10:03]

THIS OTHER GENTLEMAN MENTIONED A BOND. IF YOU KNOW DISTRICT 91, HOW MANY BONDS HAVE BEEN PASSED FOR A NEW SCHOOL TO BE BUILT? HOW MANY AND HOW MANY YEARS? WE CAN'T DO IT. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT WE JUST CAN'T. AND I DON'T BELIEVE ADDING A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT.

AND THAT'S REALLY TOUGH BECAUSE WE REALLY DO NEED SCHOOLS. POORER CITY, IDAHO FALLS HIGH SCHOOL. I JUST FEEL SO BAD FOR FOR THAT HIGH SCHOOL AND ALL THE THINGS THAT IT NEEDS, BUT WE JUST CAN'T PASS IT ON TO THAT SCHOOL AND THAT'S HEARTBREAKING. I BELIEVE IN GROWTH, BUT I BELIEVE IN SMART GROWTH. AND IF YOU IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAPS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALIZE HOW MANY HOMES AND HOW MANY APARTMENTS AND HOW MUCH IS GOING AROUND ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S WILD. AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE TRAFFIC ON, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ROAD IS CALLED, THAT ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE MASSIVE. SO NOT JUST THESE NEW, THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT, BUT ALL THE ONES THAT HAVE ALREADY STARTED ALL OF THIS, ALL OF US IS GOING TO COME OUT THERE. IT'S GOING TO BE WILD 600 CARS, PROBABLY. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY CROWDED. SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT OUT AND THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO CHRISTIAN ASHCRAFT AND I LIVE ON 1065 WOODLAND DRIVE, WHICH IS JUST NORTH OF 13TH STREET. SO I KNOW I'M NOT NECESSARILY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I FIGURED I'D MAYBE GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE. I DO, YOU KNOW, I GREW UP IN REALLY RURAL EAST IDAHO, AND SO I REALLY DO FEEL THE SAME SENTIMENT OF, YOU KNOW, GETTING FRUSTRATED WITH THE POTENTIAL CHANGE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND INCREASED DENSITY. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT, AND I FEEL I WOULD FEEL A LOT OF THE SAME FEELINGS THAT A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE ARE FEELING. SO I'M NOT TRYING TO DISCOUNT ANYBODY'S FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SITUATION, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY, OF COURSE, I HOPE I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE. OBVIOUSLY LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED. I HOPE YOU GUYS CAN DO WHAT IT TAKES TO GAIN THEIR CONFIDENCE AND THEIR TRUST THAT THE CITY IS ABLE TO HANDLE THAT. I THINK FROM AN OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEVELOPER, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED IT, BUT I THINK THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF A OF HOW A DEVELOPER HAS BEEN WAY MORE INVOLVED AT TRYING TO INTEGRATE THEIR DEVELOPMENT WITH THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT STEP. WHAT DIRECTION IS GOING? I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE MIXED HOUSING TYPES, THE DIFFERENT GENERATIONAL HOUSING OPTIONS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. MY PERSONAL STORY WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, MOSTLY THE SAME HOUSES. THEY'RE ALL KIND OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, BUT WE HAVE A BIG APARTMENT COMPLEX NEARBY, CLOSE TO 17TH THAT FEEDS INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, I THINK FOUR STORIES. AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF OUR GREATEST FRIENDS STARTED IN THAT APARTMENT AND THEN BOUGHT A HOUSE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE AND INTO THAT APARTMENT TO STAY CLOSE BY. AND SO I SEE THAT HAPPEN IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I KNOW IT WOULD HAPPEN IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT FEEL LIKE THIS. SO I APPRECIATE THAT PEOPLE BUILT THAT WAY. AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE COMING INTO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK WE SEE THAT EVEN WITH THE SAME HOUSES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT WE SEE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LOVE TO PRESERVE A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT I THINK IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE TYPES OF HOUSES YOU BUILD, BUT IT'S MORE JUST THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU KIND OF DEVELOP AS A COMMUNITY THAT REALLY DEFINES HOW NICE OF A COMMUNITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD YOU HAVE. AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, YEAH, I THINK THE MIXED TYPES OF HOUSING IS A GOOD THING. AND I THINK A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CITY, PEOPLE FROM LIKE MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WOULD LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS, THEY MIGHT HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IT, BUT THIS IS A PRETTY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN FUTURE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT I'M GOING TO BE A PART OF. THANKS. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS HALEY BAIRD. I LIVE AT 5279 CYPRESS CREEK. ON EVERY ONE OF THESE, I'M FOUR HOUSES DOWN FROM WHERE ALL OF THE TOWNHOMES ARE STARTING, RIGHT ON THE RIGHT. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RED LINE. AND SO I AM THAT

[02:15:01]

THANK YOU. HELLO, MY NAME IS KYLE HICKEN. I LIVE AT 375 PEVERIL DRIVE, SO I'M AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF PEVERIL AS MOST OF THE ENTIRE WHAT LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST HALF OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVES DOWN THAT ROAD PAST MY HOUSE EVERY DAY. BIG CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES. I'VE.

I'VE SEEN. VEHICLES DRIVE 4050 MILES AN HOUR DOWN THAT ROAD. IT IS A RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR ROAD THAT IS OVER A MILE LONG, AND IT'S GOT A HILL THAT PEOPLE START AT THE TOP OF, AND PEOPLE ARE CRUISING DOWN THAT HILL. SO ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS WITH THIS IS, YEAH, THAT WE, WE, WE CHALLENGE THE BUILDERS SO MUCH TO BUILD THIS BRIDGE. AND YET WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO GET THIS BRIDGE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PUT SO MUCH DENSITY AT THE, AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS BRIDGE THAT NOBODY'S GOING TO USE IT, EXCEPT FOR THE BRAND NEW TOWNHOMES THAT ARE ALREADY GOING TO BE AT SUCH HIGH DENSITY. SO IN MANY ELECTIONS AND CONVERSATIONS, I HEARD MANY PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM DISCUSS SMART CITY PLANNING AND THAT SMART CITY PLANNING WITH HIGH DENSITY HOUSING SHOULD INCLUDE ACCESS DIRECTLY OFF OF MAJOR ARTERIAL ROADS. THIS BOULEVARD IS A MAJOR RESIDENTIAL ROAD ACCESS, AND IT'S GOING TO BE, OR WAS EXPECTED TO BE SO THAT WE COULD PROVIDE REPRIEVE FOR ALL THE AREA THAT IS ALREADY OVERLOADED WITH THAT TRAFFIC.

AND SO IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BOMBARDED WITH ANOTHER MAJOR DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN CONSIDERING WHAT'S GOING TO WHAT'S EVENTUALLY, WE DON'T KNOW YET BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T LOOKED FAR ENOUGH INTO THE FUTURE. WE ALWAYS LOOKED AT THESE SMALL DEVELOPMENTS.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT RESIDENTIAL HIGH DENSITY EAST OF THIS SECTION THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN CONSIDERING AND HAPPENING NORTH OF IT? YOU HAVE NO DIRECT ACCESS TO THERE, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO PROVIDE ANY RELIEF FOR ACCESS FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW WE HAVE A NEIGHBOR THAT LIVES ON CREST CREEK, WHICH IS THAT ONE SMALL ROAD THAT CROSSES THE GOLF COURSE NORTH OF ON THE NORTHEAST OF OF THAT KING'S ISLAND AREA. I SEE THEM DRIVING DOWN MY ROAD TO GO UP TO THEN GO TO THAT ROAD ALL THE TIME. PEOPLE DON'T USE THAT CURVED ROAD, AND EVEN IF THEY DO, THEY'RE STILL COMING DOWN AND USING THE VERY BEGINNING ENTRANCE OF PEREIRA. I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST THEY JUST DON'T USE IT BECAUSE THEY'RE TAKING THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE. AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO ADD THAT HIGH DENSITY IN RESIDENTIAL IN

[02:20:05]

OKAY. WE WOULD ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO COME BACK AND ADDRESS THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TONIGHT. I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR COMMENTS. WE'VE TRIED TO BE I DON'T SEE A LOT OF REPEATS BECAUSE I THINK WE'VE TRIED TO INCORPORATE OTHER FEEDBACK, BUT THERE'S A LOT THERE'S A LOT TO COVER. LET ME JUST TOUCH ON A FEW OF THEM. I THINK A LOT OF THESE POINTS, YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. IT'S A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME SOLUTIONS FOR A LOT OF THESE THINGS. THE FIRST THING TO TALK ABOUT IS JUST JUST HIGH LEVEL INFRASTRUCTURE IS AS FAR AS THIS GOES. THIS WAS, YOU KNOW, BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR 20 PLUS YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THEY DID THAT FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE, THEY ACTUALLY PLANNED FOR ALL THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN. FROM AN INFRASTRUCTURE PERSPECTIVE. I KNOW THE BRIDGE IT CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH WATER PRESSURE. CERTAINLY THE THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TO PUT IN WATER EXTENSION. THAT'S ON LEWISVILLE JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH. SO THE PRESSURE CERTAINLY WASN'T THERE. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE AS OF, YOU KNOW, TWO DAYS AGO OR THREE DAYS AGO, IT WAS FORTUNATELY WITH WATER, WHEN YOU DO THE LOOPING IT CREATES PRESSURE. SO AS YOU GO INTO SAGE LAKES, THE PUD ITSELF, THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT WATER SYSTEMS. HISTORICALLY YOU WOULD CONNECT TO, AT LEAST HERE THERE'S ENOUGH WATER IN THE SYSTEM THAT YOU WOULD JUST CONNECT YOUR CULINARY TO YOUR IRRIGATION. THAT HAS CHANGED. SO A NEW STATE MANDATE HAS COME OUT IN IDAHO, AND A LOT OF STATES NOW WHERE YOU DON'T CONNECT YOUR IRRIGATION TO THE ACTUAL CULINARY. AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE. SO THIS WILL THE WATER PRESSURE THAT'S TIED TO CULINARY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO. THE CULINARY THAT YOU'RE GETTING WITH YOUR HOMES WON'T BE CONNECTED TO THE IRRIGATION. SO WHEN YOU SEE SPRINKLERS HAPPENING ON THE COMMON AREA OR IN THAT AREA OF THE PUD, THAT WATER IS GOING TO BE COMING FROM, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WE'VE ALREADY DESIGNED IT. THE WATER IS ACTUALLY COMING FROM A PUMPHOUSE THAT'S GOING TO GO RIGHT HERE, JUST NORTH OF THE BRIDGE. IT WILL RUN A PARALLEL WITH SAGE LAKES ACCESS HERE, AND IT WILL BE A COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT SYSTEM THAT WILL BE RUN BY THE CITY FOR IRRIGATION. SO THAT'S SOME REPRIEVE FROM THE THE SHOWER PRESSURE, WATER PRESSURE, ETC.

BUT THE OTHER THING IS, IS THAT THE WATER, AS YOU CREATE MORE LOOPS OR AS YOU CREATE THE LOOP AND IT CREATES MORE PRESSURE, THAT CAN HELP QUITE A BIT. SO I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THE LEVEL OF SERVICE TIED THE WATER, BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, SOUNDS LIKE THE CITY ENGINEER HAS IS IS AWARE OF IT CERTAINLY BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT. SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING. SIMILARLY LIKE STORM DRAIN HAS ALL BEEN SORTED OUT. SO I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN A BIG PART OF, YOU KNOW, THE ELECTION AND AND SMART GROWTH ETC. CANDIDLY, THIS IS A REALLY SMART NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO DO A WHOLE LOT. IT PLANNED IT 20 YEARS AGO, SO STORM DRAINS ARE ALREADY BEING CAPTURED. IT'S BEING RUN DOWN TO CROSS DOWN HERE ON THE SOUTH CROSS CREEK, AND THEN THERE'S IRRIGATION PONDS AND THERE'S ALSO JUST ADDITIONAL DETENTION RELATED TO THE GOLF COURSE. SO LIKE STORM DRAIN INFRASTRUCTURE'S IN PLACE. WE'RE JUST TYING INTO IT. SEWER RUNS ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT'S EXISTING. WE'VE HAD TO BE SMART ABOUT HOW WE DESIGN THE SEWER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AS YOU GET FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM IT, YOU GET MORE AND MORE SHALLOW. BUT THE SEWER SYSTEM WILL RUN THROUGH THE FROM THE PUD DOWN TO A LOW POINT HERE, AND THEN THEY'LL RUN ALL THE WAY SOUTH THROUGH THE EXISTING PEREIRA. SO FROM THE SEWER

[02:25:04]

IT'S A TRAFFIC MOVING. I'M SORRY. IS IT IN THE APPENDIX. YEAH. YOUR PRESENTATION IS BACK.

HOLD ON. CAN YOU JUST X OUT OF IT. YES. SO THE OTHER THING THAT WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT WAS, WAS ACTUALLY THE TRAFFIC ITSELF WHEN IT. PERFECT WHEN IT COMES TO THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF THE TRAFFIC. SO WE HAD A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE ON THIS. GETTING THERE FROM WHAT. OKAY. SO LET ME LET ME GO TO THE APPENDIX ACTUALLY BECAUSE IT'S A LOT MORE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT. YOU CAN'T REALLY I WROTE IT DOWN. IF I COULD ZOOM IN I WOULD. THIS IS THE TWO TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS RIGHT NOW. AS YOU CAN SEE ON FIFTH EAST AND LEWISVILLE. IT'S JUST NORTH AND SOUTH, RIGHT. THERE'S NO TURN IN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE'S NO THERE'S NO ACCESS RIGHT NOW ON FIFTH WEST. AND PEREIRA YOU HAVE NUMBERS DOWN HERE AM AND PM. SO RIGHT NOW IN 2025 YOU HAVE 161 IN THE MORNING COMING DOWN AND GOING SOUTH ON FIFTH WEST AND 135 IN THE EVENING.

THAT STUDY DONE IN SEPTEMBER. OKAY. SIMILARLY WHEN YOU COME NORTH AND YOU'RE GOING INTO IT, YOU HAVE 36 IN THE MORNING AND 138 COMING IN AT NIGHT. SO THAT'S JUST LIKE. IN THAT LITTLE BUBBLE BOTTOM LEFT. THEN WHEN YOU GO TO 2028, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, AFTER THIS IS BUILT OUT EFFECTIVELY, SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT FUTURE TIMES, 2028 AND 2033. YOU GO FROM 161 GOING OUT TO 103 GOING OUT IN THE MORNINGS IN 2028. SO YOU HAVE A REDUCTION OF ABOUT 50. WHAT IS THAT? 58 LESS VEHICLES THAT ARE COMING OUT OF NAVARRO. SO THE GENTLEMAN WHO LIVES ON THE CORNER, YOU'RE GOING TO GO DOWN QUITE A BIT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE MAJORITY YOU'RE GOING TO GO OUT MAJORITY THERE WILL BE A LOT LESS BECAUSE MORE WILL BE GOING OUT. THERE'S NONE EXISTING RIGHT NOW, OF COURSE, COMING OUT. BUT IN 2028 YOU WILL HAVE A TOTAL OF 194 COMING OUT. AND THAT'S RIGHT HERE IN THAT TOP RIGHT THERE GOING OUT. SO THE 194 THAT ARE GOING OUT IN THE MORNING AND THE 127 GOING OUT IN THE EVENING, WELL THEN NOT BE GOING OUT OF COURSE DOWN ON THE BOTTOM OF FIFTH WEST AND ETC. SO YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL REDUCTION. AND THEN OF COURSE IN 2033, THE WAY THEY DO THE LEVEL OF SERVICE FROM THE REASON WHY WE DID THIS TRAFFIC STUDY IS BECAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SERVICE WHEN IT COMES TO. TRAFFIC. SO YOU HAVE A DOWN TO F, AND THEY CONSIDER A LEVEL OF SERVICE ACCEPTABLE ABOVE A D. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY IN THIS CASE. FROM WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW, WE HAVE AND THIS KIND OF SHOWS THE EXISTING TRAFFIC PROJECT TRAFFIC, BACKGROUND TRAFFIC AND TOTAL TRAFFIC. SO RIGHT NOW ON FIFTH WEST AND FAVERO, OUR LEVEL OF SERVICE IS A B, WHICH IF YOU LOOK AT WESTBOUND DELAY OF 11.6 SECONDS IN THE MORNING AND 14.1 IN THE EVENING, AND THEN IN 2028 WITH THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC, YOU SEE THAT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE MAINTAINS AND YOUR LEVEL OF YOUR ACTUAL WAIT TIME GOES DOWN BECAUSE THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT ACCESS POINTS. SO BY ADDING IS EFFECTIVELY BY ADDING THAT THIS ROAD HERE, LET'S SEE IF I LEAVE THAT ON. BY ADDING THIS IN, IT CREATES QUITE A BIT OF REPRIEVE FROM THE FIFTH WESTERN NAVARRO.

SO HERE NOW SPECIFICALLY TO THAT BRIDGE. LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT THERE'S THERE WILL BE NO CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE WAITING ON THAT ROAD. IF WE WOULD HAVE HAD A REALLY LONG FALL, WE WOULD HAVE DONE IT. WE ACTUALLY GOT PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING DONE EXCEPT FOR THE THE ASPHALT AND THE CURB. BUT IT'S ALL BEEN DONE LIKE IT'S, WELL, IT'S ABOUT TO BE DONE. WE JUST RAN INTO WINTER. SO THAT WILL BE DONE IN THE SPRING BECAUSE WE HAVE HOMES THAT NEED TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY IN THE SPRING. SO AS

[02:30:03]

BUT WE'VE ADDED ADDITIONAL ONES SPECIFICALLY TO GET PEOPLE ONTO SAGE LAKES AND GET THEM OUT. SO WE'VE BEEN REALLY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT, MORE SO THAN WE PROBABLY SHOULD. NOT THAT WE SHOULD BE, BUT WE REALLY THOUGHT THROUGH THAT. SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY. I'M SORRY. THAT CAN IT IS IT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN AFTER BUT NOT DURING THIS PART OF THE HEARING. OKAY. YEAH. LET ME SEE WHAT OTHER AS FAR AS SCHOOLS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT BONDING, I DON'T APOLOGIZE. I'LL LEAVE THAT TO THE COUNCIL AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AS FAR AS THAT GOES. ONE THING I WILL TALK ABOUT, JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW, AND I'VE JUST WORKED WITH ENOUGH DEVELOPMENTS TO KNOW THIS ACCESS POINT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THAT THING THAT'S THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH US, OBVIOUSLY, BUT USUALLY A SECONDARY ACCESS FROM A FIRE PERSPECTIVE. SOMETIMES IT'S EVEN A CRASH GATE. IT'S JUST SO SOMEONE CAN GET IN AND OUT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ACTUAL ROAD. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. MAY OR MAY NOT, I DON'T KNOW, BUT YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S JUST KIND OF YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE. YEAH. SO I THINK THAT OH, AS FAR AS I'M HAPPY TO GO TALK TO THE ADJACENT HOA, I, I'LL COMMIT TO DOING THAT IF THEY ARE, IF THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE ACCESS TO THIS. THAT'S GREAT. AND NO PROBLEM. WE'LL COME UP WITH A WAY TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT. WHAT YOU DON'T WANT IS MISALIGNMENT. YOU DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY AND THEN CONTRAST SOMETHING AND BE LIKE, THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM. SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE'S AN HOA THAT'S ADJACENT, THAT THEY CAN USE IT. THAT'S NO PROBLEM. THAT'S GREAT. AND WE'LL TALK TO HOA, WHOEVER THAT IS. WE WERE TOLD NOT TO JOIN IT AND THAT'S FINE. SO WE'LL JUST DO OUR OWN HOA AND THEN WE'LL WORK WITH THEM TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THOSE AMENITIES. THAT'S NO PROBLEM. I THINK I THINK THAT'S I THINK MOST TRAFFIC SAFETY. INFRASTRUCTURE WATER. YEAH, I THINK I THINK LIKE AS MUCH AS I COULD. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL OR ANYTHING I MISSED. GO AHEAD. COUNCIL MEMBER LEE, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU REGARDING YOUR TRAFFIC STUDY ANALYSIS, AND I RECOGNIZE THIS. MAYBE GETTING TOO MUCH INTO THE WEEDS, BUT COULD YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THE METHODOLOGY THAT WAS USED TO DETERMINE WHY THE TRAFFIC TRAFFIC? IS IT SIMPLY AMOUNT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN HOMES AND THE ACCESS POINTS? IS THAT WHY YOUR ASSUMPTIONS ARE THAT THE TRAFFIC WILL DECREASE ALONG PROVERA? YEAH, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW EVERYONE COMES OUT OF I UNDERSTAND. YEAH. AND SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY JUST DO A LIKE THEY LOOK AT TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC PROTOCOL THAT THEY JUST LIKE AN ENGINEER DOES WHEN IT COMES TO STRUCTURAL OR CIVIL OR WHATEVER IT IS. AND THEY WOULD SAY IF IT'S EQUIDISTANT, THEN THAT'S A SPLIT WHERE YOU GO, WHICH WAY.

ALSO DEPENDING ON ACCESS NOW, WILL MORE PEOPLE END UP GOING UP IF, IF WHEN THAT NEW FREEWAY COMES IN? PROBABLY. BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. RIGHT. BECAUSE IF YOU GET UP THAT WAY AND GO STRAIGHT DOWN TO LIKE AN OFF RAMP OR ON RAMP, MAYBE THAT WOULD PUSH MORE PEOPLE NORTH.

[02:35:03]

HALF OF THE ARROW IS GOING TO START GOING NORTH, PROBABLY BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE FASTER TO GET OUT. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS GOING TO HARP ON A POINT, BUT JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SHOWING PICTURES OF WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO. AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED ABOUT THE TWO STORY THING, BECAUSE IT WOULD ALLOW THREE THAT WOULD NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT? YEAH. I MEAN, FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 1800 SQUARE FOOT HOMES AND ADDING A THIRD WOULD BE OUT OF PRICE RANGE. THAT WOULD WOULD BE MARKETED LIKE IT'S JUST IT'S THERE'S A SWEET SPOT AND WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 1800 SQUARE FEET OF THE HOMES. ADDING A THIRD WOULD JUST MAKE IT NOT, YOU KNOW, A GREAT PRODUCT FOR WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER, IT OCCURRED TO ME LISTENING. SORRY ABOUT MY VOICE. IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT MIGHT HELP, THAT YOU WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO BE EARNING 110 TO $130,000 TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE HOUSE THAT YOU'RE BUILDING AS AN INCOME FOR THE HOUSEHOLD IN THE $300,000 RANGE. I'M ASSUMING THESE ARE GOING TO BE WHAT WOULD SOMEONE QUALIFY FOR IT? YEAH, I DON'T KNOW. I I'M NOT A MORTGAGE ORIGINATOR. I'M FAMILIAR. OKAY, OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD. YEP YEP. WE IF WE NEED TO.

DIRECTOR CENTER I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. WE'VE HAD THIS WORD USED MANY TIMES AND I JUST WANT THE CLARITY ON IT. THE PRESCRIPTIVE. RIGHT. CAN YOU PLEASE, IN CLEAR TERMS EXPLAIN WHAT A PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT IS. SO WHAT THE ZONING IS ON THE PROPERTY. THAT IS THE RIGHT OR PRESCRIPTIVE RIGHT OF THE PROPERTY. SO IT'S R-2. THERE ARE CERTAIN PARAMETERS WITHIN OUR ZONING CODE. THEY CAN BUILD TO THAT WITHOUT THE PUD. SO THEY COULD BUILD R2 AND R3 WITHOUT COMING BACK TO COUNCIL. THAT'S CORRECT. JUST BE IT WOULD JUST MOVE THROUGH IT AND THAT WOULD MAX, I BELIEVE IT WAS 17 UNITS PER ACRE IN THE R2. SO YES, THEY COULD BUILD A HIGHER DENSITY ON THE R2 WITH THAT, WITHOUT COUNCIL, WITHOUT SEEING IT JUST GO THROUGH THE TYPICAL BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS, WHICH IS AN INTERNAL PULL A PERMIT AND START BUILDING ON THAT. OKAY. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'VE HAD THE WORD PRESCRIPTIVE.

RIGHT. USED A LOT. AND I IT'S I THINK IT'S MORE LEGAL TERM. YES. THANK YOU. YES. DIRECTOR. YES,

[02:40:08]

AND THROUGH OCTOBER, SOME OF THOSE VALVES HAD TO BE SHIPPED TO CONSTRUCT NEW WATER LINES.

SO YOU HAD A SINGLE SERVICE INTO THAT PARTICULAR LOCATION. SO THAT HAS BEEN CORRECTED AS OF OCTOBER. ONCE THAT CONSTRUCTION IS DONE. SO THAT REDUNDANCY OF SERVICE IS NOW IN PLACE AND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. AND SO OUR OUR MEETINGS THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD TO GO AND TRY TO VERIFY THOSE ARE 55 PSI, AS WAS MENTIONED. AND THEN WE'VE ALSO REACHED OUT AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE WATER PRESSURE. THEY SAID, YES, SINCE OCTOBER WE HAVE NOTICED. SO I KNOW THERE'S SOME CONCERNS THAT ARE BROUGHT UP. WELL, THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S NOT DURING THE IRRIGATION SEASON, BUT I THINK THE DEVELOPERS ALSO TRY TO DESCRIBING THAT IS THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT UTILIZE POTABLE WATER FOR IRRIGATION, THIS GREEN SPACE THAT WILL BE SERVICE WATER. SO IN THOSE TIMES OF PEAK HERE IN THE CITY, WHEN OUR WHEN OUR LARGEST USE OF WATER IS OCCURRING, THAT'S GENERALLY IN OUR EARLY MORNING TO LATE NIGHT, RIGHT? YOU GO TO BED, YOU WANT YOUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM TO COME ON AND NOT IMPACT YOUR USE OF YOUR GREEN SPACE. SO IN REALITY, WHEN THOSE COMMERCIAL USES ARE OR THOSE RESIDENTIAL USES ARE HAPPENING IN THE HOME, THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND START SHOWERING AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. THAT'S ACTUALLY SOME OF OUR HIGHEST PRESSURES THAT WE HAVE JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE A HUGE INFLUX OF IRRIGATION USE LATER ON. THIS DEVELOPMENT REALLY DOESN'T IMPACT THAT OCCURRED. RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A SURFACE WATER IRRIGATION TO THAT. SO SO IN THAT YOU HAVE SOME OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE CONCERNS ON THE WATER SIDE, AND HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP ON THE TRANSPORTATION SIDE, I THINK INTERNAL SUBDIVISION, THE DEVELOPERS DESCRIBED THAT VERY WELL. WE DO HAVE PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, WHETHER THEY'RE LARGER WITH IT, TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE ARTERIALS IN AND AROUND FIFTH WEST AND LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY AS PART OF THE I-15 US 20 PACKAGE, IT IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY FOR THAT FIVE LANE FACILITY FROM WHERE THEY'RE THEY'RE RAMPED ACTUALLY COMES OFF THAT NEW FACILITY ONTO LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY. AND THEN WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY AND UTILIZING SOME OF OUR IMPACT FEES TO HELP DEVELOP FIFTH WEST AS WELL. SO THOSE ARE MEETINGS THAT WE'LL BE HAVING WITH HIM. BUT ANYTIME YOU HAVE THIS TYPE OF A SUBDIVISION THAT DEVELOPS FAR FROM THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND YOU HAVE THESE MISSING BITS AND PIECES, SIDEWALKS, STREETS, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. BUT IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE NUMBER OF TRIPS REQUIRED TO WHERE THAT REALLY MAKES SENSE, THAT THAT TAKES SOME TIME. BUT WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO THAT NOW TO TRY TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS THAT ARE OCCURRING IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA. SO FAR, DESIGN WORK GOING ON OR CLOSE TO THAT, THE BUILDING BITS AND PIECES OF

[02:45:08]

SO THERE ARE ACTIVE DESIGNS ONGOING RIGHT NOW TO DEVELOP THAT AS A FIVE RECENTLY. DID YOU SAY FIVE LANE. YEAH. WELL CAN YOU AND THAT'S REALLY WHERE YOU HAVE THE FIVE LANE FACILITY THAT ENDS ON. IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF THE WILLOW CREEK. THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE CITY LIMITS, WE HAVE 5 OR 6 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, I BELIEVE. AND THEN UP TO THE NEW PROPOSED INTERCHANGE THAT'S IN THE I-15, US 25 AT THAT POINT AND THEN THREE, I BELIEVE, IS ACTUALLY. CHRIS, I THINK YOU SHOULD DEFINE WHAT FIVE LANES MEANS. YEAH. SO THAT'S A THAT'S A TYPICAL SECTION THAT YOU'LL HAVE TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION WITH A CENTER TURN BASE. SO WE WE REFER TO THAT AS A FIVE TO TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THE TRAFFIC WE ANTICIPATE WILL BE DEVELOPED FROM THE NEW I-15 WAS 20. IF THAT PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE MOVES FORWARD IN ITS ANALYSIS. AND CAN YOU ALSO ADDRESS BECAUSE I DO KNOW THIS ANSWER FROM MPO, BUT THE FIVE LANE ON EAST RIVER ROAD, IT ALSO DOES HAVE A SEPARATION OF A SIDEWALK. IT'S NOT THE SIDEWALK ISN'T RIGHT UP AGAINST THE ROAD. CAN YOU JUST ADDRESS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? SO ALL OF OUR ALL OF OUR TYPICAL SECTIONS, WE DO WE DO TRY TO PROVIDE AS MUCH SPACE AS WE CAN SO THAT PEDESTRIANS FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE. I'M SORRY. I KNOW YOU'RE VERY TALL, BUT CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE MIC SO THAT. YEAH. SO IN THAT IN ALL OF OUR TYPICAL SECTIONS IS WE DEVELOP OUR ROADWAYS. WE DO LIKE TO HAVE AS MUCH SEPARATION AS WE POSSIBLY CAN FROM THAT CURB LINE WHERE THE TRAFFIC EXISTS TO WHERE OUR BIKES AND PEDS WOULD BE UTILIZING THOSE DIFFERENT FACILITIES. AND SO WE DO LIKE TO HAVE, AS THE MAYOR HAS MENTIONED, AS MUCH SEPARATION AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. WE'RE HAPPY TO RUN THROUGH ANY OF THOSE TYPICAL SECTIONS IF PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE. BUT BUT AT THIS POINT, I THINK WE'RE PLANNING ON THAT I-15 US 20 CONNECTION AS BEING PROPOSED. AGAIN, IT'S ONLY A PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE AT THIS POINT. WE'RE KIND OF WAITING FOR IT TO COMPLETE WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. BUT THAT'S THE PLANNING THAT'S GOING INTO PLACE RIGHT NOW. SO GREAT. IS THERE A TIME FRAME COUNCIL, ANY OTHER TIME FRAME. SO THE I-15, US 20 I REALLY DON'T HAVE A TIME FRAME. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'D SOMEWHAT CONTROLS. I KNOW INITIALLY THEY WERE HOPING TO HAVE THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT COMPLETED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT AS OF YET, BUT AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE WORKING ACTIVELY TO DEVELOP ROADWAY PLANS ON FIFTH WEST, SO THAT WOULD BE BE ABLE TO EXPAND THAT UTILITY CORRIDOR. AND THEN ALSO WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH POWERBALL'S POWER AS WELL TO RELOCATE THAT POWER, HOLD THE POWER LINE THAT'S ON THE WEST SIDE AS WELL. SO, DIRECTOR, GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. JUST AND I KNOW YOU SAID THIS, BUT HOW YOU TALKED ABOUT FIVE LANE ON FIFTH WEST. HOW FAR NORTH WOULD THAT GO IN RELATION TO THIS PROJECT. TO THIS. SO WE DON'T HAVE A PROJECT THAT'S PROPOSED TO BE BUILT OUT WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT. THIS WOULD BE THIS WOULD BE I BELIEVE THAT'S IF I REMEMBER THAT IT'S EITHER 2027 OR 2028. RIGHT. IT'S PART OF THE H TWO. IT'S BEING CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE NEW IMPACT FEE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. SO THAT'S PART OF THAT. AND WE ALSO HAVE DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED TO BE OCCURRING SOUTH OF THE 33RD NORTH. SO THAT DEVELOPMENT ALSO IS WE ANTICIPATE WILL BE HAPPENING THIS NEXT YEAR IF CONTINUE. SO THAT'LL GENERATE SOME IMPACT FEES. ADDITIONALLY, TO HELP CONSTRUCT AND GREENS THE RIGHT OF WAY NEEDED TO BUILD THAT THAT ROADWAY. OKAY. THANKS. OKAY. THANK YOU DIRECTOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND YOUR PATIENCE TO GET THROUGH THE NIGHT. WE ACTUALLY DO APPRECIATE THE DEMEANOR THAT WAS ESTABLISHED. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THOUGHT YOUR COMMENTS WERE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND RESPECTFUL. WE WILL NOW DECLARE THE HEARING CLOSED AND ALLOW COUNCIL SOME TIME TO DELIBERATE. OH WAIT. BEFORE WE BEFORE WE CLOSE. OKAY, I CAN ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE. SO I THINK IT'S USEFUL IN THESE MOMENTS TO HEAR FROM YOU AS TO WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE AS A COUNCIL. IN THIS SCENARIO, WE HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE COME AND SAY, HEY, DON'T DO THIS. THE SCHOOLS, THE ROADS, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? AND

[02:50:01]

OR YOU COULD TABLE IT FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION WITH THOSE ARE YOUR OPTIONS. BUT BUT REALLY, YOU'RE HERE TO MAKE A LEGAL DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OUR ORDINANCE HAS BEEN SATISFIED OR NOT. SO IT WOULDN'T BE OKAY TO SAY, HEY, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SCHOOL CAPACITY. SO WE THAT COULDN'T BE IN OUR RECENT STATEMENT OF CRITERIA. AND WE WOULD BE THAT WOULDN'T BE A LEGAL. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TIED. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE TIED. YOU'LL THERE'S A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WE WOULD HAVE TO BE TIED SOMEWHERE TO OUR ORDINANCE. AND I DON'T THINK SCHOOLS IN THEIR. ON THAT. I HAVE A QUESTION KIND OF RELATED TO THAT SORT OF TO ME, THE THING THAT CAME UP OVER AND OVER AND OVER WAS TRAFFIC, AND ONE OF THE KIND OF SUBSETS OF TRAFFIC WAS CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES. IS THERE ANY WAY WE COULD STIPULATE THAT THEY HAVE TO COME IN OFF OF FIFTH WEST ACROSS THE BRIDGE, RATHER THAN WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BE SAFE ON PEVERIL? SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE WAY THEY CONSTRUCT IT AND WHAT THEY CAN DO WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE THE PROJECT IS IS CLEAR UP ON THAT NORTHEAST CORNER AND COME IN FROM PEVERIL AND WORK ITS WAY UP. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS KIND OF WE CAN PUT I WAS LOOKING AT IT WITH WHEN COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS ASKED ABOUT THE HEIGHT. WE CAN PUT CERTAIN CONDITIONS. HEIGHT IS NOT ONE OF THEM. THESE ARE CODES SAYS THIS IS THE HEIGHT AND WE HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR CODE AS TO HEIGHT. WE CAN PUT CONDITIONS ON OTHER THINGS THAT SATISFY, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE IN FURTHERANCE OF THE OF THE CRITERIA IN OUR CODE. AS FAR AS THE MANNER CONSTRUCTION, I'M NOT I DON'T THINK AT THIS POINT MY MY OPINION BE NO, WE CAN'T CONTROL HOW THEY GO ABOUT DOING IT. WE CAN WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW THEY DESIGN IT, HOW THEY HOW THEY CONDITIONS LANDSCAPING, THAT SORT OF THING. BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN SAY, HEY, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE THROUGH A CERTAIN PLACE TO, TO GET TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. I DID FIND THERE IS A. A PART OF OUR CODE. I'M SORRY.

CAN YOU SPEAK LOUDER? I JUST KNOW THAT. SORRY. I'M RECOVERING DIFFICULT. YES. YEAH.

THERE IS A PART OF OUR CODE THAT DOES DEAL WITH SCHOOLS. IT IS SUBSECTION. LET'S SEE.

SUBSECTION IN SUBSECTION W. THIS IS THE ORDINANCE. SUBSECTION 11 OF THAT IT JUST SAYS PUDS SHALL PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS TO EXISTING OR PROPOSED SCHOOLS, PARKS, PUBLIC LANDS OR PATHWAYS ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES. SO THAT WOULD ONLY BE IF THERE WAS A SCHOOL ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY. OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SCHOOL NEEDS. TO YOUR RIGHT, BUT I ANSWERED, I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION EARLIER, DID I, COUNCILMEMBER FRANCIS? WE WE CAN'T PUT A CONDITION ON HEIGHT BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY IN THE ORDINANCE THAT IT'S THE THE UNDERLYING BASE ZONE OR THE OTHER CALCULATION HERE IT WAS 36FT. SO WE COULDN'T TELL THEM THAT IT HAS TO BE TWO TWO STORIES ONLY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

COUNCIL MEMBER LEE, I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM THIS IF YOU COULD. SO BY RIGHT, BASED ON THE CURRENT ZONING THAT IS IN PLACE, THE DEVELOPER COULD BUILD 340 UNITS PER THE ZONING.

IS THAT ACCURATE? I HAVEN'T RUN THE CALCULATIONS, BUT IT WOULD BE WHATEVER THE UNDERLYING ZONE IS. AND THESE WAS PART TWO, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, FROM THE EVIDENCE, IT WAS PART ONE TYPE OF ZONE AND PART ONE OTHER TYPE OF ZONE R2 AND R2 R3. YEAH I CAN GIVE YOU THE REFERENCE.

IT'S TABLE 11 TWO FOR THAT GIVES THE MAXIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITY AND THAT GIVES US 17 DWELLING UNITS PER GROSS ACRE. SO SO THE MATH IS ROUGHLY 340 VERSUS THE 246 THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. YES, SIR. IS THAT ACCURATE? YEAH, I DID RUN THE NUMBERS. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEAH R3 HAS THAT'S CORRECT. 35 UNITS. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY. CAN I FOLLOW UP QUESTION. YES, PLEASE.

DIRECTOR. HOW MANY? OH, SORRY. IS THIS AGAIN? IS THIS A LEGAL QUESTION OR IS THIS. NO, IT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE IN R2. AND IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN WE SAY THAT WE'VE

[02:55:01]

YEAH. OKAY. COUNCIL, ARE YOU READY TO DELIBERATE THIS MATTER? OKAY. DOES A MEMBER FROM CDS WANT TO LEAD OUT OR WHO WOULD LIKE TO. COUNCIL. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. THAT'S THE I APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS. I'VE NOT BEEN IN THIS EXACT SITUATION, BUT I'VE LIVED IN AREAS WHERE THERE WERE CHANGES COMING THAT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC AND VOLUMES OF TRAFFIC IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF VOLUME. SO I APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS, AND I APPRECIATE THE CIVILITY OF OF THE CONVERSATION TONIGHT. SO THANK YOU TO ALL CONCERNED. IT STRIKES ME THAT THE THING THAT KEEPS COMING OUT IS TRAFFIC. AND THE PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN IN THIS SUBDIVISION FOR YEARS, AND THAT IS GETTING IN AND OUT. AND THIS PIECE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, SAGE LAKES BOULEVARD, WILL APPARENTLY BASED ON THE TRAFFIC STUDIES, REALLY HELP OVERALL TO TO THE EXISTING COMMUNITY. I GUESS I'D GIVE YOU A WARNING. IF YOU LIVE AT THE TOP OF BAVARO, YOU MIGHT START TO SEE SOME MORE TRAFFIC. AFTER SAGE LAKES BOULEVARD GOES IN, BECAUSE THIS TRAFFIC THAT USED TO GO DOWN WILL NOW COME. SOME OF THAT FROM THE MIDDLE SECTION WILL NOW COME UP, BUT IT'LL MAKE ACCESS A LOT, A LOT QUICKER, A LOT MORE PLEASANT.

WITH THAT SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY EARLY NEXT YEAR, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL AT THE LATEST.

MAYBE. I CAN BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD SOLVE A LOT OF THAT TRAFFIC PROBLEM. THE OTHER THING IS, AND IT'S BEEN POINTED OUT, BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH SAYING AGAIN, THE NEW PART.

THERE'S NO REASON THAT I CAN SEE THAT THEY WOULD EVER DROP BELOW, SAY, SIX BOULEVARD TO GET OUT OUT OF THE AREA. THERE'S JUST NO MOTIVATION TO DRIVE DOWN ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BARREL OR ALL THE WAY DOWN. SOMETHING THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. IT IS DOWN THERE. I KNOW DOWNTOWN, THEY'LL GO OUT. THEY'RE GOING TO GO DOWN TO, WELL, THE ROAD DOESN'T EXIST FOR THEM TO GO OUT. SORRY. YES, I KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO SORRY. SORRY TO TO NOT ENGAGE.

YEAH. WE CAN GO. THIS IS WHAT I'M SEEING ON THE MAP. ON THE WAY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS HOW PEOPLE THINK THEY'RE GOING TO DROP DOWN TO SAGE LAKES. COME OUT TO FIFTH CLASS. AND THE PROBLEM. SO I JUST DON'T THINK THAT THAT THE VALUE OF THE INCREASE IN TRAFFIC BELOW SAGE LAKES IS REALLY VERY SIGNIFICANT. YEAH. COUNCILMEMBER LEE, OH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE. COUNCILMEMBER FRANCIS. SURE. YOU KNOW, I'LL HAVE TO THINK OUT LOUD. I THESE ARE WHERE YOU GO. OH, MAN, I GOT TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS. IT'S NOT AN EASY ONE. AND AS I'VE TOLD MANY PEOPLE, THE MOST DIFFICULT THING I HAVE TO DO IS MAKE LAND USE DECISIONS BECAUSE IT'S A RIGHT VERSUS RIGHT, AND IT'S LIBERTY VERSUS LIBERTY, AND THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

I NEED SOME INPUT FROM SOME OTHER PEOPLE BEFORE ACTUALLY MAKE UP MY MIND. TO BE HONEST, I WOULD SAY ONE THING THAT I WAS WRITING DOWN FOR POSITIVE IS THIS IS A DEVELOPER WHO IS ACTUALLY BUILDING THAT ROAD. SO THERE'S AN EXIT AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT SINCE 2019.

I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT. I GOT A I WROTE A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS DOWN DURING THE THING AND, YOU KNOW, MIXED USE IS NOT A BAD THING TO HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING. AND A COUPLE

[03:00:04]

EVERYONE ON THE COUNCIL HERE KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT PUD. SO THEY'RE PROBABLY INTERESTED IN WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. I DON'T LOVE THE PUD CONCEPT. I THINK WE SHOULD WORK INTO OUR ORDINANCE ON HOW TO DO THIS. WHEN? JUST BY ORDINANCE. BECAUSE WE HATE BUILDING MANY CITIES THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR OWN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AND HAVE TO PLOW THEIR OWN ROADS. AND IT'S LIKE THIS REALLY ODD THING. BUT IN THIS CASE, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT. THIS IS A BETTER OUTCOME BECAUSE OF A PUD, BECAUSE OF THE LANDSCAPING, THE TREES AND THE WALKABLE PATHWAYS. AND THE OTHER PIECE HERE IS THAT HOME OWNERSHIP IS ELUSIVE.

[03:05:01]

THIS IS A LOT LIKE THE TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD ZONE WE TALKED ABOUT. AND SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE THE COUNCIL KNOWS THAT I'VE REALLY VOTED AGAINST A LOT OF PUDS FOR THE REASONS I TALKED ABOUT FIRST. BUT IN THIS CASE, THE OTHER POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS TWO THINGS ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE. YOU HAVE A NEW FIRE STATION BECAUSE OF IMPACT FEES, BECAUSE THESE HOMES ARE BEING BUILT. IT'S WITHIN MINUTES. SO YOU'RE 17 MINUTE PROBLEM. IT SHOULD NOW BE IT. KNOW WE BUILT ONE THIS MONTH. LIKE OH IT JUST STARTED IT RIGHT NEXT TO MAVERICK. SO YOU WILL BE SEEING FIRE SERVICE. THAT WILL BE YOU KNOW AND WE DID THAT. WE KNEW THE NORTH WAS GROWING. WE KNEW THAT I WAS GOING THAT WAY. WE KNEW THESE HOUSES WERE COMING. AND SO WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, FULL TIME FIREFIGHTERS SLEEPING WITHIN 1000 YARDS OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THAT'S ANOTHER PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE. I THINK YOU HEARD GOOD NEWS ABOUT FIFTH WEST AND LEWISVILLE HIGHWAY TONIGHT. BECAUSE I HAVE BOTH MY SIBLINGS LIVE ON BAVARIA, YOU KNOW, AND MY SISTER WOULD TAKE HER LIFE IN HER HANDS TRYING TO GET DOWN EAST RIVER ROAD TO GET TO COURT. RIGHT. LIKE IT WAS A SCARY PROPOSITION. BUT IF WE CAN GET THOSE PROTECTED, YOU KNOW, LANES AND GET OUR OUR BIKES OFF THE ROAD AND THEN HAVE PEOPLE BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE CITY THAT WAY BECAUSE IT REALLY ISN'T THAT FAR TO DOWNTOWN. SHE LOVED TAKING THE BIKE IN BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY ADJACENT IN SOME WAYS, BUT THERE WASN'T A PATH, RIGHT. AND SO I THINK THERE'S GOOD THINGS HAPPENING, AND I'LL BE GRATEFUL TO GO TO THANKSGIVING AND NOT BE ASKED ABOUT THIS DAMN BRIDGE.

YES. COUNCILMEMBER FRANCIS OKAY, SO I WOULD I DO WANT TO WEIGH IN JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO. I ALSO AM NOT A FAN OF PUDS BECAUSE PRIMARILY WHEN PUDS COME BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, THEY ARE ASKING FOR A VARIANCE AND THEY'RE TRYING TO DO INCREASE DENSITY AS OPPOSED TO DECREASE DENSITY. IT'S IT WAS SURPRISING TO ME WHEN I SAW THIS COME FORWARD THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY DECREASING THE PRESCRIPTIVE. RIGHT. USUALLY THERE'S SOMETHING EXTRA THAT THEY WANT SIX FEET OF BACKYARD OR AND THAT IS HAS BEEN MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT ABOUT PUDS IS THAT THEY COME ASKING FOR A VARIANCE. SO I DO COMPLIMENT THE THE DEVELOPER FOR BEING ACTUALLY CREATING SOMETHING THAT WAS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I EXPECTED TO SEE TONIGHT. BUT, YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ONE THING I DO WANT TO HAVE ON THE RECORD FOR COUNCIL TO KNOW IS DISTRICT 91 OWNS PROPERTY ON EAST RIVER ROAD. IT'S TEN ACRES. IT'S BEFORE 65TH. I WILL SUPPORT ANY BOND THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BRINGS FORWARD TO, TO BUILD AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THAT PARCEL. I MEAN, IT IS. IT IS LONG OVERDUE THAT DISTRICT 91 CAN PASS A SCHOOL BOND, AND IT WOULD SUPPORT ALL OF THAT. AND THE GROWTH, YOU KNOW, LET'S HOPE, COUNCILMEMBER RADFORD, THAT IT INSPIRES PEOPLE TO VOTE YES ON ON A BOND. I KNOW THAT SENATOR LINTON HAS BEEN WORKING TO GET MONEY INTO INFRASTRUCTURE IN SCHOOLS, SO THAT THE AMOUNT ISN'T AS HIGH FOR THE THE PROPERTY TAXES, BUT I AM I AM ALSO VERY DISCOURAGED, TO YOUR POINT THAT SCHOOL BONDS ARE NOT BEING PASSED. SO THEY DO OWN PROPERTY ON EAST RIVER ROAD AND A PUBLIC SCHOOL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE PLAN IS PLANNED FOR THAT AREA.

[03:10:07]

I THINK THAT THEY WERE THOUGHTFUL IN TERMS OF MANY OF OR MOST OF THE LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT ARE BUILDING ARE ONES WHERE PEOPLE WOULD ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE ACROSS THE STREET. IT WOULDN'T BE NEW TO THEM. THERE IS A DEMAND FOR THIS TYPE OF HOUSING ACROSS THE CITY. AND WHAT'S THE ALTERNATIVE, YOU SAY, WELL, YOU CAN'T DO IT HERE. YOU CAN ONLY DO. MAYBE WE DON'T EVEN LET ANYBODY BUILD HERE. THE ALTERNATIVE IS WE JUST SPRAWL OUT INTO MORE AND MORE FARMLAND. AND THAT I'M ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED TO. THAT IS NOT GOOD. IT DOESN'T HELP TRAFFIC. IT ACTUALLY INCREASES TRAFFIC COMING INTO THE CITY. AND THE THE WAY THAT THEY DESIGNED, THEY CALL THEM REAR FACING. SO THAT WE HAVE SEEN SOME DEVELOPMENTS THAT WEREN'T SO GOOD WHEN WE HAD THE OPPOSITE.

AND YOU GET THE BACK OF THE HOUSE OUT THERE, THEY PURPOSELY REVERSED THAT AND THAT. THAT WAS THOUGHTFUL. AND THERE'S NO DRIVEWAYS. SO I WILL BE VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS. IS ANYONE READY TO MAKE A MOTION? COUNCILMEMBER RADFORD. I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR SAGE LAKES AS PRESENTED SECOND. RADFORD. HI. DINGMAN. YES, FRANCIS I.

FREEMAN. YES. LARSON. YES. LEE. YES. MOTION CARRIES. I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THE REASON STATEMENT OF RELEVANT CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR SAGE LAKES, AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. SECOND. LEE. YES.

DINGMAN. YES. FREEMAN. YES. FRANCIS. HI. LARSON. YES. RADFORD. AYE. MOTION CARRIES.

[03:15:04]
