OR ROOFTOP, THE SURFACE AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. IS THERE'S SOMEONE THAT IS GOING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF. THAT WOULD BE IMMEDIATE ROBIN CLARITY. IT BE HDP ARCHITECTURE, OKAY? UM I GUESS EVERYONE CAN HEAR ME THEN. UM WHAT? WHAT WE'RE DOING THESE THINGS BEFORE WE GET STARTED. YOU'LL NEED TO BE SWORN IN BY MR BARROSO. OKAY? AND ROBERT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S GOING TO SPEAK, AND I DID. ADD MORE AS THE PRESENTERS. THE ONE PERSON I DIDN'T SEE. I DON'T UM IT'S JASON IN YEP. I DON'T THINK SO. 
          SO, SO FAR, IT'S JUST MYSELF GONE ELSON, UH, PROJECT COMMUNITY PLIANT LEADER, FHP HDP AND JIM PORTER ON THE CAMP ENGINEER WITH H A W A ENGINEERS. OKAY, GREAT. SO IN YOUR TESTIMONY BEING GIVEN TONIGHT, DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE IS TRUE AND CORRECT IN YOUR TESTIFYING OF YOUR OWN PRETTY WILL. IF SO, SAY I DO. I DO, RIGHT? GREAT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO VERBALLY PRESENT YOUR APPEAL? I'VE I THINK ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE REALLY. HAVE REVIEWED THE PACKAGE WHICH YOU PRESENTED, AND, UH, JUST LIKE TO HEAR YOU PRESENTED ON A VERBAL BASIS. OKAY UM, SO THIS IS A FACILITY PURPORTS BIOLOGICS AT 3900 GANTZ ROAD IN GROVE CITY, OHIO. UM THIS FACILITY IS A LARGE MANUFACTURING BUILDING. THEY ARE MANUFACTURING GENE THERAPIES. FOR INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS. RARE GENETIC DISEASES. SO AS PART OF THIS FACILITY, WE ARE CREATING SOME CLEAN SPACES OR GMP SPACES. FOR THESE MANUFACTURING OF THE GENE THERAPIES. AND WITH THAT, UH, THIS REQUIRES SOME LARGE H V A C UNITS TO BE PLACED ON THE ROOF. YOU COULD SEE IN THIS PHOTO HERE OR DRAWING SHOULD SAY. THERE'S A ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT THAT IS ALONG THE SOUTH EDGE OF THE BUILDING. IT IS ROUGHLY. 157 FT FROM THE WEST WALL. THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THEN ABOUT. TO THE FRONT OF THE ENERGY. YOU RECOVER UNITS ABOUT 37 FT. ON THE PARAPETS. THERE IS AN EXISTING PARAPET AROUND THIS BUILDING ROUGHLY TWO FT. TALL. 
          UM BUT THESE ENERGY RECOVERY UNITS ARE PRETTY TALL. THEY'RE ABOUT 10, FT THEMSELVES, AND THEN WITH THE STACKS ALONG THE. NORTH EDGE OF THE ANDREW ENERGY RECOVERY UNITS. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE AN ADDITIONAL 10 FT. SO STACKS ARE ABOUT 20 FT. TALL. SO OUR PROPOSAL IN THIS, UH. 
          THAT WE WOULD NOT SCREEN THESE UNITS. FROM THE ROAD OR. UP ON THE BUILDING, PARTLY BECAUSE. 
          [00:05:06]
THE WAY THE ZONING CODE READS, WE WOULD HAVE TO BUILD 20 FT, TALL OR EVEN TALLER SCREENING, WHICH COULD HAVE A PRETTY BIG IMPACT ON WOOD MODES AND SNOW LOADS. THEY WERE ALSO SAYING THAT, UM FROM DANCE ROAD. THESE UNITS ARE WON'T SEE THEM. A LOT. A THAT THE TWO FT PARAPET WALL WILL HELP SCREEN THESE UNITS AS WELL AS THE MATURE VEGETATION THAT IS AROUND THE EXISTING BUILDING. YOU. COULD YOU SEE SOME OF THE, UM MATURE VEGETATION? THIS THIS IS ALONG THE WEST WALL. OF THE BUILDING IN A LONG, 30 ALRIGHT, PANTS ROAD, SO AS YOU'RE TRAVELING DOWN DANCE ROAD, I THINK THIS IS HEADING TOWARDS THE SOUTH. UM THIS IS THE VEGETATION THAT LET'S SEE. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF MATURE TREES. MANY OF THESE ARE DISINGENUOUS THAT SOME OF THEM ARE EVERGREENS. SO WE DO, UH, THEY ARE PRETTY GREEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO THAT THE ENERGY RECOVER UNITS ARE GOING TO BE PRETTY MUCH WHERE THAT ARROW IS THE TOP. DO HAVE SOME DRAWINGS THAT WE'VE DONE SOME. THREE D RENDERING CHANGED IN RABBIT THAT WE'VE DONE TO SORT OF SHOW HOW. THESE UNITS. WHAT WHICH SHOW FROM GANSZ ROAD. WHAT YOU HAVE THOSE IN THAT PRESENTATION LIKE. UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE NOT ATTITUDE. THIS, UM OKAY, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT. WE HAVE THE OBVIOUS OF THESE. YEAH, WE HAVEN'T STOPPED OKAY IN THEIR PACKAGE THEY DO. OKAY? SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THE STACKS, YOU KNOW, MAINLY THE STATUE FROM GANSZ ROAD, BUT WE WOULD ALSO PROPOSED THAT THE COLOR OF THE STACKS. WE WOULD MATCH THE BUILDING AS BEST WE COULD. BUT IT IS QUITE MINIMAL. UM. WHAT YOU SEE AS FAR AS THE ENERGY RECOVERY YEARS AGO. SO THAT IS PRETTY MUCH OUR PROPOSAL. DON'T YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES. NO, I'M. I HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY? IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS. NO. I PROPOSE THAT. WE APPROVED THE APPEAL OF ROBIN. HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE YOUR NAME? CLARITY CLARITY. YEAH. VHP ARCHITECTS REPRESENTING. GEORGE BIOLOGICS OF 3900 GANTZ ROAD, PARTIAL NUMBER 040-2 FOR EXPERIENCE. TO A SECTION 11 37.16 TO WAIVE THE SCREENING REQUIREMENT. OR ROOFTOP SERVICE AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. SECOND.

          [4. Hear the appeal of Jason Francis, M/I Homes of Central Ohio, LLC for 4535 Jackson-Pike, (Parcel # 040-016490), for a variance to Section 1329.18 – Flood Damage Prevention Code to place fill in the floodplain in a residential area known as Pinnacle Quarry. ]
HOMES OF CENTRAL OHIO LLC FOR 35 45 35 EJECTION PIPE PARTIAL NUMBER 040-0. OH, WE'RE VARIANCE TO SECTION. 13 29.18. FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION CODE PLACE FILLED IN THE FLOODPLAIN 
          [00:10:02]
IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA KNOWN AS PINNACLE QUARRY. MR FRANCIS, ARE YOU GOING TO PRESENT YOUR. 
          OH, YOU. MIKE REEVES, OUR ENGINEER AND MYSELF. BOTH WILL BE PRESENTING TONIGHT. OKAY? IF SO, WE'LL NEED TO HAVE MR PROCESS WHERE YOU BOTH END. SO IF YOU COULD RAISE YOUR RIGHT HERE, UM. DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE IS TRUE AND CORRECT. YOU ARE TESTIFYING OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL. IF SO, SAY I DO. I DO. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. RIGHT, UM. WOULD YOU PLEASE? I THINK WE'VE ALL GONE THROUGH. YOUR APPLICATION FORMS. UM BUT JASON IF YOU COULD YEAH. THIS STUFF VIRTUALLY, UH, DESCRIBED THE RECENT OR YOUR APPEAL. SURE I CAN. I CAN DO THAT. UM SO IT'S IN THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE PINNACLE COREY PROJECT IS OPEN SPACE, PRIMARILY OPEN SPACE THAT IS TO BE OWNED BY THE CITY OF GROVE CITY. THERE IS AN EXISTING POND WITHIN THAT OPEN SPACE. THE POND DOESN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB AND ITS EXISTING CONFIGURATION OF. UM YOU KNOW, PROVIDING ANY ANY SORT OF AN AMENITY TO THE PROPERTY. IT'S NOT VERY GOOD SHAPE. UM. IT DOESN'T COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE GEOMETRIC REQUIREMENTS OF MODERN POND CONSTRUCTION. SO OUR PROPOSAL IS TO RECONSTRUCT THAT POND. UM MODIFYING THE GRADING AND THE SLOPES AROUND IT, AND, UM, INCORPORATING SOME MORE MODERN POND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES. UH PRIMARILY IN THIS CASE, THE POND IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED AS A WETLAND BASIN, AND IT WILL SERVE AS A WATER QUALITY BASIN. PEARLY EPA REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SITES RUN OFF. MM. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY A QUARRY. CORRECT. MORE. YEAH AS HERE AS HERE. SPEAK UNTIL THERE ARE PORTIONS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE WHERE THERE HAS BEEN, UH, PRIOR EXCAVATIONS. THERE'S UH. LOW AREAS ON THE PROPERTY. 20 FT DEEP AND I DON'T THINK THIS PARTICULAR POND WAS PART OF THOSE OPERATIONS. BUT YEAH, THERE'S EVIDENCE THAT, UH, THEY PROBABLY DID SOME SEEING THE GRAVEL QUARRY WORK ON THIS PROPERTY PREVIOUSLY. HAVE YOU APPROACH THESE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA DEVELOPMENT? UH FOR A PERMIT. OR. YEAH. MIKE, YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT? YES, WE HAVE. WE HAVE SOME SPECIAL THOUGHT HAVE BEEN AREA PERMIT APPLICATION TO, UM TO MY PO. SO, UH, AND RESUBMITTED THE HYDRAULIC REVIEW FOR THAT WHICH HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY ENGINEER. UM, THEY WERE VERY, UH, NO RISE IN THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION DUE TO OUR PROPOSED WORK. UM, IF ANYTHING HAD DROPPED, I THINK 1 1/100 IN TIME AND THE ELEVATION WHERE UH HUH. AS JASON MEASUREMENT THAT THE PRIMARY CONCERN HERE. EXISTING SIDE SLOPES ARE 1 TO 1 SLOPE. UH AND THE SAFETY FOUND REQUIREMENTS NEEDED FOR GROUPS SIT HERE FOR A ONE FILM. IT'S DUE TO THAT EXISTING PLACEMENT WITHIN ME PUT OUT YOUR AREA. THAT WE NEED TO. WE NEED TO SOFTEN THOSE SLOPES FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OIL, THE RESIDENTS, SO, UM, IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THAT THERE THAT ENCROACHMENT IN THE FLOOD HAZARD AREA. AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THAT. FORGET APPLICATION PUT, UM, BUILDING DEPARTMENT UPSIDE ADMINISTRATOR. RIGHT OKAY, SO IF WE DO APPROVE THIS. VARIANCE IT WOULD BE ONE OF THE STIPULATIONS TO OBTAIN THAT SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND I ASSUME THAT'S SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE ALREADY ON. WITH THAT SO THAT SHOULD BE AN ISSUE OF HAN. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? TIME. HAVE FOR MIKE. OKAY MIKE, YOU'RE THE FLOODPLAIN COORDINATOR FOR GROWTH CITY. 
          HAVE YOU ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THIS SITE? AND WHAT? WHAT ARE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING IT? I MEAN, WHAT WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO IMPROVE THAT POND RIGHT NOW. THAT POND, UH, FROM WHEN IT WAS BUILT AS A VERY STEEP SLOPE TO IT. WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THE TYPICAL SAFETY LEDGES THAT ARE BUILT INTO PONDS THAT ARE BUILT TODAY. SO WITH THIS MODIFICATION, THEY'RE GOING TO IMPROVE. THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF THE POND. WITHOUT 
          [00:15:05]
ANY IMPACT ON THE AREA, SO IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO ENHANCE IT. AND THAT'S WHY FROM THE BUILDING DIVISION. FROM THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WE WOULD HAVE SENT LETTERS OF SUPPORT ON THIS PROBLEM. UH, VARIANTS. OKAY, SO I CAN INCLUDE FROM WHAT YOU'VE SAID THAT THERE IS NO REAL IMPACT ON THE FLOODPLAIN IN THAT AREA. THAT IS CORRECT. THIS WILL HAVE NO IMPACT ON THAT FLOOD 20. OKAY. THANK YOU. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO ASK. THERE ARE SOMEONE THAT, UH, SOME ATTENDEES ON THIS MEETING THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THEY NEED TO SPEAK ONLY THE MONTGOMERY AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT. UM WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR, BUT I DID A MUTE YOU, LINDA, IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW. OKAY CAN YOU CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES I CAN HEAR YOU. UM SO. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE LAST WEEK HAD CALLED ME FROM MY BUILDERS WHO SAID THAT THEY HAD PLANNED ON ROUTING THE DRAIN OFF WATER INTO THE SPOIL WAS AT THE BACK OF MY YARD. UM BUT CURRENTLY THAT IS FLOODING SO BADLY THAT THERE'S A LAKE AT THE BACK OF MY YARD EVERY TIME IT RAINS. AND. I'M AT ONE OF ONE WHITE ROAD SO I WOULD BE LIKE NUMBER SIX PLOT OF THE WHITE ROAD. LIKE BY THAT RESERVE OVER THERE. SO, UM MHM. LIKE I TOLD HIM IF ANY MORE WATER GETS ROUTED INTO MY BACKYARD, MY HOUSE WAS GOING TO BE UNDERWATER. DID YOU? WHAT WAS YOUR ADDRESS? PLAYED YOU LOOK ON WHITE ROAD. DID YOU SAY I DO? I'M 1 TO 1 RIGHT ROAD, SO I'M LIKE THAT NUMBER SIX SQUAT RIGHT THERE WHERE THE THERE'S A DREAM THAT GOES KIND OF DIAGONAL THROUGH MY BACKYARD INTO THAT DEDUCT IN SEVEN. THERE'S A DUCK THERE THAT THE NATURAL SWELL WATER RUNS THROUGH, AND THEY HAVE A DRAIN THERE IN MY YARD, BUT IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE WATER THAT'S COMING THROUGH THERE SINCE THEY CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES. SO RIGHT NOW I HAVE A SWAMP AT THE BACK OF MY YARD TO WHERE I CAN'T CUT ANY OF THAT GRASS DOWN BECAUSE IF I DO, ALL OF THE WATER WILL COME INTO MY BACKYARD RIGHT NOW. THAT'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING MAKE THE WATER OUT OF MY HOUSE. AS LONG AS IT DOES THE BRAIN. I'M FINE, BUT WHEN IT RAINS, I HAVE A LAKE. THIS IS A JASON FRANCIS WITHIN MY HOMES. I WAS THE ONE WHO SPOKE WITH LINDA LAST WEEK, OKAY? YEAH, THE ONLY THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE. WHAT THIS IS THAT YOUR LOSS IS NOT REALLY ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING US DEGREE IN A VARIANCE TO YEAH, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ON AT ALL. IT WAS JUST OKAY. YEAH THAT'S GOOD LUCK. YEAH, MAYBE THAT'S AN ISSUE, THOUGH, THAT THE CITY SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THAT THE CARVER TO GOES. AND TO THE REGULAR LONG YOUR PROPERTY MAY ACTUALLY BE UNDER THE CITY OF GROVE CITY. EITHER THAT OR JACKSON TOWNSHIP. I DON'T KNOW IF JACKSON TOWNSHIP. WHAT HAS BEEN REFERRED TO EVERYONE LIKE I CALLED PROOF CITY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PASSING JACKSON TOWNSHIP. I CALLED JACKSON TOWNSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS DRUG CITY NEIGHBOR OF CITIES SENT ME TO FRANKLIN COUNTY. AND THEN I TALKED TO MY CHILDREN, AND HE SAID THAT. HE WAS WORKING WITH THE GUYS AND THE THING WE WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY DIDN'T YOU KNOW, BROWN MYSELF HOUSE WITH ALL THE RAINWATER. THAT'S CORRECT. OBVIOUSLY WE CANNOT INCREASE THE RATE OF RUNOFF TO MISS MONTGOMERY'S PROPERTY. I HAVEN'T TALKED TO MIKE REEVES OR ENGINEER ABOUT THIS YET, BUT WE DO HAVE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RETENTION PROPOSED FOR THIS WATERSHED IT AS WAS STATED EARLIER. THIS IS A SORT OF UNRELATED TO THE B C A, UM, ACTION TONIGHT REGARDING THE FLOODPLAIN, BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE REASONS FOR THE CONCERN. I PROMISED MISS MONTGOMERY AD WOULD GET OUT THERE AND LOOK AT IT MYSELF. BUT WE WILL ALSO BE TAKING MEASURES TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T INCREASE THE RUNOFF DOWN THERE. A PORTION OF OUR STATE DOES DREAM THROUGH THROUGH THAT TILE. IT IS A FRANKLIN COUNTY. WELL IT IS IN FRANKLIN COUNTY. 
          I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S ON ANY KIND OF COUNTY MAINTENANCE PROGRAM, BUT I COMMITTED TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH THE COUNTY AS WELL. MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S FUNCTION PROPERLY. 
          ELEVATION THERE IS GREATER THAN IT IS DOWN HERE WITH WHERE THE. PROPOSED WETLAND FOND IS IF I RECALL LOOKING AT THE. ELEVATION FROM IS THAT CORRECT, JASON? YES YES. THERE IN EFFORT, WATERSHEDS. OKAY ALRIGHT. UH ONE MORE POINT OF ORDER. I GUESS IT'S SANDRA FABIAN. 
          YOU'RE ON THE CALL. ARE YOU ON THE CALL FOR THIS? VARIANCE. YES, I AM OK. YOU WANT TO GO 
          [00:20:04]
AHEAD AND I GUESS, ASK YOUR QUESTION OR CONCERN. PLEASE DO. WELL, THE ONLY REAL QUESTION I HAVE HERE IS THAT THIS IS NOT REALLY AT THIS POINT I JUST DIDN'T WANT. I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE ADDITIONAL FLOODING, ADDED, UH, I JUST KNOW WE'RE SITTING AND I KNOW MY OWN PROPERTY AT ANY ADDITIONAL FLOODING WOULD BE KIND OF DISASTROUS FOR ENDED MONEY, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER SO. OH SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT, UH, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THAT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT UH, IF FRANKLIN COUNTY IS WHO. HAS PUT IN THE CALL BIRD OR WHATEVER THE PIPING IS, UH, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE MAKING. UH. SOME ACCOMMODATION FOR YOU TO PREVENT THAT, LOOKING AT THE. 
          DIAGRAM OF THE SUBJECT SUBDIVISION LAYOUT. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE ARE ANY HOUSES OR ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE UP THERE. HAVE THEY ACTUALLY DONE ANY DIGGING HER OR ANYTHING OR JUST TAKING TREES. AT THIS POINT ALL BE DONE IS REMOVE SOME TREES. YEAH. IT'S HIS PROPOSED PATIENT. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT YEAH, THIS IS FOR, UH. PRODUCING DO YOU PLAN TO PUT ANY TYPE OF, UH, SHRUBBERY OR ANYTHING IN THERE IS THE CITY REQUIRING THAT. IN THE VICINITY OF MS MONTGOMERY'S PROPERTY. UM WE ACTUALLY HAVE SEVERAL 100 FT OF UNDISTURBED WOODS BECAUSE THERE'S A LONG LINE WETLAND IN STREAM IN THAT LOCATION, SO A GOOD PORTION OF BEAT AREA ADJACENT TO THE NORTH BOUNDARY AT THIS LOCATION HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED AND WILL NOT BE CLEARED. OKAY? YEAH, WHEN? WHEN THE QUESTION CAME TO SANDRA FABIAN. UM I'M ACTUALLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF JACKSON PIKE. ACROSS FROM THE PLANT. SO WHEN I WAS VERY GRATEFUL WHEN I WAS REFERRING TO, UH, LIKE THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND AN ADDITIONAL FLOODING, I WAS REFERRING TO THE POND ITSELF THAT THE WETLAND AREA. SO YOU LIVE ON THE EAST SIDE OF JACKSON PIPE. YES. WHAT? WHAT WHAT WAS YOUR ADDRESS? SANDRA I THOUGHT YOUR LOT WAS NUMBER SIX ON WHITE ROAD SUPER PAIN. OVER OKAY. GOT IT. YEAH, I WANNA ADDRESS IS 4878 JACKSON PIKE. 
          AND MY QUESTION WAS IS A ADDITIONAL ANY ANY RAISING OF FLOODING CAN BE DISASTROUS, BOTH DIFFERENT CITY GOING BACKWARDS, AND, UH, STUFF FLOWING INTO. AND THERE'S A WETLAND NEXT TO MY PROPERTY, AND IT COMES IT COMES PRETTY HIGH. WELL, WHERE WHERE FLOODS IT LOOKS LIKE A LAKE NEXT TO MY PROPERTY LIKE THERE'S I STILL GOT 16 FT BEFORE IT HITS MY HERE AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, I DON'T. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOT ADDITIONAL FLOODING THAT WAS GOING TO CRUSH ON THIS, BUT BUT WHEN THEY'RE TALKING, IT'S NOT GOING TO AFFECT THAT. WELL FOR WHAT WE WERE TOLD. THIS IS JOHN BRAND ON THE BOARD OF SEVEN APPEALS. FROM WHAT JASON FRANCIS TOLD US OTHER THAN, UH, TRYING TO MAKE THE SLOPE MORE GENTLE AROUND THE POND. THEY DON'T PLAN TO DO ANY WORK IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA. SO IT SHOULDN'T BE ANY WORSE. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S THE IMPRESSION I GOT FROM THIS. RIGHT? YEAH. SO, UH, SANDY, SANDRA ARE SANDY. SANDRA. EITHER WAY, OKAY. I'M SORRY. UH BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THE IMAGE THAT WE HAVE UP THERE NOW HOW STEEP THE BANK IS. YEAH AND BASICALLY CLEAN UP THIS POND AREA IN IN ORDER TO DO THAT THEY HAVE TO OBTAIN A PERMIT PERMIT FROM US, BUT BECAUSE THE PROPERTY ZONE RESIDENTIAL. THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE TO SEEK THE VARIANCE ON THIS. YEAH, I UNDERSTAND. BUT. SHOULD YOU HAVE MORE CONCERNS DOWN THE ROAD, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO GIVE US A CALL. AND LINDA. UH YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU SAY. I'M SURE YOU SAID YOU TALKED TO MIKE HOLDER IN ABOUT THIS. YOU KNOW THE AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THIS. PHIL IS NOT THAT WILL NOT AFFECT YOU. HOWEVER YOU STILL HAVE A CONCERN THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT GETS ADDRESSED AND. I'LL FOLLOW BACK UP WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO OVERSEES THE ENGINEERING OF THESE PROJECTS, JUST TO MAKE SURE 
          [00:25:04]

AND YOU'RE TESTIFYING ON YOUR OWN FREE WILL. IF SO, SAY I DO. 
          I DO. THANK YOU. RIGHT? UH EVERYONE ON THE BOARD HERE HAS REVIEWED YOUR APPEAL. AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO HEAR A VERBAL REQUEST FOR THE FIELD. IF YOU WAIT, PLEASE. SURE. WELL AS YOU READ FROM THE, UM. SUBMITTED MATERIALS. THE PROPOSED SPELL SITE IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE FOOTBALL STADIUM IN BETWEEN, AS THE PICTURE ON THE SCREEN SHOWS IN BETWEEN THE FOOTBALL STADIUM TO THE WEST. IN THE SOCCER FIELDS IN THE PRACTICE FIELDS TO THE EAST. 
          THE, UH ONE OF THE REASONS WE LIKE THIS LOCATION FOR THE SCHOOL IS, UH, IT PROVIDES A SOLID BUFFER OF RESIDENTIAL THAT YOU CAN SEE BASED ON THE SCREEN. UM HOUSES OR TO THE NORTH. NORTHEAST NORTHWEST AND SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST. THE CELL TOWER, AS PROPOSED IS LOCATED AMONGST THE EXISTING STADIUM LIGHTS. THOSE EXISTING STADIUM LIGHTS ARE 
          [00:30:04]
ABOUT 90 FT. TALL. OUR TOWER IS ACTUALLY THE TOP OF STEEL IS 140 FT. THERE'S A 10 FT LIGHTNING ROD THAT WE HAVE FOR ARREST YOUR PURPOSES. AND AS THE DIAGRAM WE HAVE SHOWN HERE, THERE'S A 300 FT RADIUS, WHICH CLEARLY ENCROACHES ON THE RESERVE PROPERTY TO THE NORTHEAST AS PART OF THE PINE GROVE SUBDIVISION. UM SO THAT IS ROUGHLY THAT ORANGE LINE YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE IS ROUGHLY THE EQUIVALENT OF THE RED CIRCLE THAT YOU SEE ON THIS, UH AERIAL SHOT. AND THE LARGER CIRCLE. THE YELLOW CIRCLE IS A RADIUS OF ABOUT 480 FT. TO THAT DWELLING UNIT, SO YOUR SETBACK IS 300, WHICH WOULD BE TWICE THE HEIGHT OF OUR EXISTING PROPOSED TOWERS, SO WE. CLEARLY AREN'T YOU KNOW WE'RE MORE THAN DOUBLE ONCE YOU GET PAST UH, THE RESERVE AREA THAT'S GOT THE WALKING PATH RUNNING THROUGH IT. THE COMPOUND ITSELF IS, UH, 14 BY 30. PRIMARILY IT'S 520 SQUARE FEET, AND THEN AGAIN GETS IT ABUTS THE BACK OF. THE EXISTING FOOTBALL STADIUM BLEACHERS AND SOCCER. UH STANDS RIGHT THERE. 
          THERE WILL BE ARE PROVIDING SCREENED AROUND THE ENTIRE COMPOUND. UH, SO THAT WILL BE. 
          THAT THAT'LL SOFTEN UP THE VISIBILITY FROM FOLKS AT THE AT THE STADIUM, UH, SEATING AND SOCCER FIELDS THAT'LL THAT'LL SOFTEN THE VISUAL. IMPACT. YOU KNOW THE GROUND LEVEL. UM THE EXISTING LIGHT THAT IS ON THE TOWER THAT'S BEING REPLACED. NOW THE LIGHT BANK WILL BE RE AFFIXED TO, UH. TO THE PROPOSED TOWER. SO, ESSENTIALLY, IT WILL BE A MULTI CARRIER TOWER AS AS IS TYPICAL WITH MOST TOWERS AT AT SCHOOLS IN THE CENTRAL OHIO. I'M REALLY MOST OF THE COUNTRY. 
          UM. WHAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW WE'RE BASICALLY PHOTO SIMS. THIS ONE'S TAKEN FROM, UH, SOUTHWEST AND THE TOP. PICTURE IS A SHOT FACING NORTHEAST. AT THE EXISTING STADIUM AND THEN THE BOTTOM. UM, THE SECOND TRAIN BELOW OVER THE RED ARROW IS, UH, SHOWS THE ADDITION OF THAT CELL POWER. WITH. ONE IN THIS CASE, ONE UH, ANTENNA BANK AT THE TOP, WHICH WOULD IN THIS CASE, THE VERIZON AND THEN THE EXISTING LIGHT BANK HAS SHOWN THAT, UH, AN EQUAL HEIGHT LEVEL. UH, THERE HALFWAY DOWN THE TOWER. SO. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE INTERVIEW. AT THIS POINT, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. JUST ONE FOR MIKE GOT. 
          DID WE GET ANY LETTERS BACK FROM ANY OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS. WE DID NOT. OKAY? AND WE DID SEND THEM OUT. YES. OKAY? AND I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. FOR MR FERGUSON.
