[3. APPLICATION: Tesla Charging Station (Meijer) – Certificate of Appropriateness]

WHO MY NAME IS MICHAEL LEVITT, AND THE ADDRESS IS 3500 DEER CREEK ROAD FOLLOW ALTO, CALIFORNIA 94304. THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APPEAL TO CONSTRUCT A TESLA CHARGING STATION IN THE MIRE PARKING LOT ON LONDON GROUP COURT ROAD. THE APPLICATION IS AN APPEAL TO A DENIED ADMINISTRATIVE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FROM THE BUILDING DIVISION AND SEPTEMBER OF 2022. THE PROPOSED CHARGING STATION IS IN THE NORTHWESTERN SECTION OF THE PARKING LOT NEAR THE INTERIOR DRIVE, I'LL AND ENTRANCE STAFF HAD RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS. HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT INDICATED THAT MEYER PREFER PREFERS THE PROPOSED LOCATION AS IT WILL BE LESS DISRUPTIVE. EXISTING CLIENTELE.

THE PROPOSED LOCATION IS BETWEEN TO EXISTING PARKING AISLES AND WILL TAKE UP 14 PARKING SPACES.

A CROSSWALK IS PROPOSED ON THE DRIVE, I'LL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPOSED STATIONS WITH A WITH WEIGHTS, STRIPPING. A CONCRETE CURVE IS PROPOSED BETWEEN THE TWO PARKING ROSE THAT WILL HOLD A WEAPON CHARGING STATIONS. THE 12TH. STATION IS PROPOSED ON THE NORTHWESTERN ISLAND IN ADDITION TO FOUR PARKING SPACES DIRECTLY SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN ISLAND WILL BE CURBED TO HOLD EQUIPMENT FOR THE CHARGING STATIONS. PROPOSED CHARGING CABINETS WHEN WE SCREENED WITH A SIX FT SADDLE COLORED TRICK FENCE. 23 SPARTAN JUNIPER SHRUBS ARE PROPOSED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SCREENING OUTSIDE OF THE FENCED AREA WITHIN THE CURBED AREA. THESE SHRUBS ARE PROPOSED TO BE EIGHT FT. MAXIMUM 100% OPAQUE TO SCREEN THAT PROPOSED EQUIPMENT, NOTING THE HEIGHT OF THE EQUIPMENT IS 7.5 FT. UTILITY TRANSFORMER IS PROPOSED OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE AREA, AND WE'LL ALSO BE SCREENED WITH THE SPARTAN JUNIPER SHRUBS TO MEET SCREENING REQUIRED REQUIREMENTS. THAT THE APPLICANT HAS. COMMITTED TO FULLY SCREENED AND MECHANICALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHARGING STATION STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE PROPOSED CHARGING STATIONS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA. THEREFORE THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF A PREVIOUS APPEAL ESTIMATED. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS AT THIS POINT ? THAT SOUNDED GREAT. OKAY.

QUESTIONS? YES. QUESTIONS ARE PLANNING COMMISSION. I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE CROSSWALK AND ACCESS TO THE OTHER. PREDOMINANTLY THE RESTAURANTS IN THE AREA. IT SEEMS TO BE A GROWING TREND THAT YOU DRIVE TO YOUR NEXT CHARGING LOCATION, AND THEN YOU GO GRAB A BITE TO EAT OR SOMETHING. SO I APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAVE A CROSSWALK IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THIS AND THAT SIDEWALK CONTINUES UP TO THE MYERS GAS STATION. BUT I DON'T SEE A CROSSWALK ACROSS THAT DRIVEWAY OR TO THE EAST THAT WOULD GIVE ACCESS TO THE KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN, TACO BELL AND BURGER KING. YES SO THAT 88 CROSSWALK IS PRIMARILY FOR THE MEYER SO BECAUSE MY ARE ALREADY HAS THAT, UM SIDEWALK THERE, SO WE JUST ADDED THAT CROSSWALKS OF THAT SOMEONE WHO IS IN A WHEELCHAIR CAN EASILY GET TO THE COST TO THE SIDEWALK. SO HOW ABOUT THE BETWEEN THAT SIDEWALK AND THE MINOR GAS STATION ITSELF? IS THAT AN A D? A. CAPABLE. CROSSWALK. THAT I'M NOT SURE I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK. YEAH THAT WAS OUTSIDE OF OUR SCOPE. SO OUR PRIMARY, UM, LOCATION THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO GO VISIT IS THE MYER STORE. SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN A LOCATION WHERE PEOPLE COULD EASILY GET TO THAT LATER STORY. MY CONCERN WOULD BE THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING TO PROVIDE SAFE PASSAGE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO TO

[00:10:03]

YOU KNOW SOME SNACKS OR A RESTROOM BREAK OR SOMETHING FROM THE CHARGING AREA, SO IF WE CAN JUST MAKE SURE THAT'S WELL LIT AND WITH THE A D, A CROSSWALKS. YEAH ANOTHER SITE WOULD BE PRETTY WELL LET, UM BUT OUTSIDE OF OUR SITE, I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK TO SEE. WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO ADD IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE IT'S LEFT. I DO WANT TO CLARIFY. JUST SORT OF WHAT WE'RE REVIEWING HERE. I MEAN, WE WILL CERTAINLY LOOK INTO AND DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE PHOTO METRICS CHECK OUT. BUT IN THE END, WE'RE BASICALLY JUST CONVERTING A STANDARD PARKING SPACE TO A CHARGING PARKING SPACE. SO THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT ALL OF THOSE ALREADY MAKE CODE AND IF THEY DON'T THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO MEET CODE ANYWAYS, JUST TO COMPLY WITH OUR OUR STANDARD RULES AND REGULATIONS. SO I'M CERTAINLY NOT TRYING TO DISSUADE YOU FROM ADDING STIPULATIONS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, BUT IN TERMS OF THE SAFETY OF HOW PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC IS CIRCULATING THROUGHOUT THE SITE, THAT SORT OF IT WAS EXAMINED PREVIOUSLY WITH THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR MEYER, SO YOU KNOW TECHNICALLY, CARS COULD BE PARKING THERE EVERY DAY, AND WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE SAFE ACCESS TO AREA DESTINATIONS. THE QUESTIONS ARE PLANNING COMMISSION. JUST ONE QUESTION I HAVE AND JUST BECAUSE OF NOW, ALL THE VEHICLES AND WHAT THEY'VE BEEN STATING ABOUT HOW HARD ELECTRIC VEHICLE CAR IS TO PUT OUT A FIRE FROM FROM THAT STANDPOINT. WHAT SAFETY CONCERNS TO DO. WE HAVE PRECAUTIONS THEMSELVES. EXCUSE ME, THE CHARGE POST OR THE CARS THEMSELVES CARS THEMSELVES. YEAH WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY CONCERNS WITH THE CARS THEMSELVES. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BATTERY PACK CAN'T REALLY SPEAK ON THE BATTERY PACKS. I'M REALLY FOCUSED ON THE CHARGING STATIONS. SO UM, I WOULD LEAVE IT AS THERE'S REALLY NOT A HUGE CONCERN WHEN IT COMES TO FIRES WITH THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES. HAVE YOU HAD ANY FIRES AT ALL? I CAN'T SPEAK ON THAT PART. IF YOU ASK ME ABOUT THE CHARGING STATIONS, I CAN SPEAK ON THAT. BUT I CAN'T SPEAK ON THE BATTERIES IN THE CARS. IT'S JUST MY CONCERN FROM MORE JACKSON TOWNSHIP, OUR DEPARTMENT AND THEY'RE EQUIPPED, YOU KNOW, PUT OUT FIRES LIKE THAT FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES. WE DID NOT GET ANY CONCERNS FROM JACKSON TOWNSHIP FIRE INTERVIEW OF THIS APPLICATION, BUT I'M AND WE CAN CERTAINLY YOU KNOW WE HAVE ONGOING DIALOGUE WITH THEM FOR THROUGHOUT THE REVIEW PROCESS SO WE CAN CERTAINLY ASK THEM JUST IN TERMS OF WHAT THEIR, UM PLANNING FOR IN THE FUTURE, AS OBVIOUSLY THE DEMAND FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IS INCREASING. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF PLANNING COMMISSION. IS THERE. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? HEARING, NONE WERE READY FOR EMOTION. HERE I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL. ITEM NUMBER THREE, THE TESLA CHARGING STATIONS CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATE APPROPRIATENESS AS SUBMITTED. A SECOND. CALL. MR TITUS? YES. OYSTER? YES. MR BROCK. YES. MR BURNS. BERG? YES. MR FREE? YES.

THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKER RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED. HAS DUNLAP. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? THANK YOU. QUESTIONS ARE PLANNING COMMISSION. I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE BOLLARDS AND THE. DUMPSTER AREA. THERE'S CURRENTLY A ROAD THAT WE HAVE AROUND THE NORTH END OF THAT PROPERTY. BUT YOU'VE PLACED BOLLARDS ACROSS BOTH AND BOTH ACCESS OR DR ISLES. AND THE DUMPSTERS APPEAR TO BE BEYOND THE BOLLARDS. SO THAT'S BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA RELOCATE THE DUMPSTER AREA. TO THE FRONT OF THE VIOLENCE. SO THAT AREA THAT IS GOING TO BE CLOSED OFF. THE KIDS WON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT BECAUSE DEFENSE WILL BE AROUND IT. SO LIKE THE BEGINNING STAGE OF THIS PROJECT, UM I SPOKE WITH LOCAL WASTE, AND THEY SAID THEY COMING IN ON THE FRONT END ON THE RIGHT. AND WE HAVE IT LIKE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BOLLARDS, AND AS WE PROGRESS WE BUILD, YOU KNOW, WE SUBMIT TO YOU GUYS AND THAT WE BUILT ANOTHER STATION IN FRONT OF IT AS WE EXTEND THE PLAYGROUND OUT TOWARDS THE BACK. AND CERTAIN THE DUMPSTERS WHERE WE SEE THEM NOW, THIS IS NOT WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO BE. YOU'RE GOING TO RELOCATE THEM.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY WITH ALL THE REQUIRED SCREENING AND. AND STUFF THAT GOES WITH DOING THAT, NOT JUST DUMPSTERS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVEWAY, OKAY? YEAH, THAT WASN'T WASN'T CLEAR THAT STAFF REPORT DIDN'T MENTION PARKING SPACES EITHER. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PARENT DROP OFF PARKING SPACES. REMEMBER CORRECTLY I THINK I COUNTED. 6 TO 8. SIX ON THE FRONT AND I THINK IT WAS SIX ON THE BACK SIDE, SO IT'S A TOTAL OF LIKE 12. LIKE AT THE TOP RIGHT THERE , YOU SEE, WHERE IS THE FIRST PARENT DROP OFF AND THEN CLOSER TO THE BUILDING. TWO OF THOSE ARE HANDICAPPED. SO REALLY, YOU WOULDN'T COMPOSE, I WOULD SAY LIKE MAYBE 8 TO 10 THAT AREN'T INCLUDED AS HANDICAPPED. HE DIDN'T COUNT THAT MANY IN IN THE CURRENT. ALRIGHT SO I'M CONCERNED HOW OUR PARENTS DROPPING OFF ALL AT ONCE. WHERE THEY KIND OF STRATEGY DO IT'S BETWEEN SIX AM AND 98. IT'S ALL SPREAD OUT. IT'S NOT START PICKING A CLASS THREE PM UP TO 60 COMFORTABLE, THAT'S ENOUGH. OH, YEAH. PARKING FOR DROP OFF. AND HOW MANY EMPLOYEES WILL BE STAFFING THE FACILITY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. UP TO 12 AT ALL TIMES. LICENSING REQUIRES AT

[00:20:05]

SO THE MOST THAT THAT SIZE BUILDING CAN EMPLOY B 12 7 AT ONE TIME. THERE'S ENOUGH PARKING FOR THAT IN THE EMPLOYEE PARKING AREAS. AND WILL THE BLACKTOP LOOP AROUND THE NORTH CONTINUE TO BE MAINTAINED. OR IS IT YOUR INTENTION TO REMOVE THAT? NO I'M GOING TO KEEP WITH THE BLACK TOP ONE, OKAY? AND WELL MAINTAINED AND SEALED AND BUT NEVER USED FOR PARKING OR FOR IT AS A DRIVE, I'LL YOU MEAN AROUND THE BACK? YEAH I DON'T KNOW. THEY WON'T HAVE ACCESS TO DOLLARS WON'T REMOVE THOSE THANK YOU.

PRIVACY FENCE OR LANDSCAPE SCREENING ALONG THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN SIDE OF THE SITE.

PROPERTY LINES TO SCREEN ADJACENT EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. TV CHOSEN BY EACH INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS. STAFF IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROPOSED SCREENING OPTION AND BELIEVES THAT A LANDSCAPE THAT LANDSCAPING SHOULD BE UTILIZED FOR SCREENING ALONG THESE PROPERTY LINES TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING, TEXT AND SCREENING PROVIDED IN OTHER RECENT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS , WHAT ADJACENT TO EXISTING SUBDIVISIONS. DUE TO THE EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY ON THIS PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF WHITE ROAD, A STANDARD POND MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY STORM MODERN DESIGN MANUAL WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE, AND WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN AESTHETICS NON DESIRABLE FOR THE AREA INSTEAD OF PLAN SHOW, A PROPOSED NATURALIZED STREAM CHANNEL. CONTAINING SMALL BASINS CONNECTING BY A STREAM CHANNEL WITH SMALL MICRO PONDS. BASINS USED TO SLOWLY TO SLOW THE DISCHARGE OF WATER. THE STREAM

[00:25:02]

CONSISTING OF STONE OUTCROPPINGS , EVERGREENS, SHRUBS, PERENNIALS AND ORNAMENTAL GRASSES ARE PROPOSED THROUGHOUT THE OPEN SPACE CONTAINING THE STREAM CHANNEL. STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROPOSED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND LANDSCAPING AROUND THE NATURALIZED STREAM CHANNEL BECAUSE IT INCORPORATES MANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF A TIER ONE. BASIN IN TERMS OF HARDSCAPE AND PLANTINGS. IMPROVEMENT. IMPROVEMENTS ARE ARRANGED IN A MANNER THAT REFLECT THE NATURAL STREAM CORRIDOR AREA AND APPROPRIATELY FOR THE DESIRED CHARACTER OF THE AREA WHILE ENSURING APPROPRIATE AESTHETICS, GIVEN ITS HIGH VISIBILITY. TWO WHITE ROAD AFTER REVIEW WITH CITY STAFF, CITY ENGINEERS AND THE APPLICANT DESIGN TEAM, THE ADDITIONAL STORMWATER OF ADDITIONAL STORMWATER FUNCTIONALITY STAFF IS NO LONGER BELIEVES THAT STIPULATION THREE AS LISTED ON THE STAFF REPORT IS NECESSARY. THE SOUTHERN SECTION WILL CONSIST OF 34 UNITS ON LOTS OF APPROXIMATELY 54 BY 128 FT, AND WE'LL HAVE ONE ACCESS POINT OFF WHITE ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 385 FT TO THE WEST OF I 71 THE PRIVATE ROADWAY WILL BE 28 FT IN WIDTH AND TERMINATE WITH A COURT. IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE SITE, ALONG WITH A 20 FT.

EMERGENCY ACCESS WITH REMOVABLE BOLLARDS THAT CONNECTS TO PRESLEY DRIVE. THE SOUTHERN SECTION WILL CONTAIN A CLUBHOUSE POOL, BOCCE BALL COURTS AND CLUSTER MAILBOXES. THE CLUBHOUSE IS PROPOSED IN THE NORTHEASTERN SECTION OF A LONG WHITE ROAD AND HAS SIX HEADED PARKING SPACES, ONE OF WHICH IS HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE. SOUTHERN SECTION WILL HAVE A LANDSCAPE ENTRY FUTURE ACTING AS A WETLAND PRESERVATION AREA WITH NATIVE PLANTINGS DUE TO THE PROMINENT LOCATION OF THIS FEATURE ALONG WHITE ROAD IT IS IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY DESIGNED TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE AESTHETICS SIMILAR TO TIER ONE BASINS, INCLUDING STANDARDS DON'T OUTCROPPINGS, EVERGREENS, SHRUBS, PERENNIALS AND ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. ADDITIONALLY A LARGE STORM WATER BASIN IS PROPOSED ALONG THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE SITE BETWEEN I 71 IN THE PROPOSED HOUSES. THE ZONING TAX REQUIRES A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING WITH RAPID FLASHING BEACONS AND A LANDSCAPE COMEDIAN BE INSTALLED ACROSS WHITE ROAD TO PROVIDE ACCESS BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTHERN PARCEL. BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM CITY COUNCIL AND RESIDENTS THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO INSTEAD EXTEND THE SIDEWALK ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF WHITE ROAD, CONNECTING TO THE CLUBHOUSE AND UTILIZING THE EXISTING TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AT MCDOWELL AND WHITE ROBES. STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROPOSED DEVIATION FROM THE ZONING TAXED AND BELIEVES THAT THE SIDEWALK EXTENSION AND DIRECTING RESIDENTS TO THE EXISTING CROSSING TO BE SAFE, A SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO THE WHITE ROAD PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, NOTING NOTED IN THE ZONING TEXT. THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED RENDERINGS OF SEVEN DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFERENT BOTTLES PROPOSED FOR THE COURTYARDS AT MULBERRY RUN WITH A COLOR PALETTE CONTAINING VARIOUS SHADES OF WHITE, BROWN, BLACK AND BLUE, ALONG WITH STONE OPTIONS OF LIGHT, GRAY AND REDDISH BLUE. PROPOSED MODELS MEET THE MINIMUM FLOOR AREA OF 1400 SQUARE FEET, AS REQUIRED BY THE ZONING TEXT. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT NEEDS ALL HAVE LOCAL PD. AND ALL APPLICABLE GROWTH CITY 2050 GUIDING PRINCIPLES. THEREFORE AFTER REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION, THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKING RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL. TWO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS. AND AS A REMINDER STIPULATION, THREE FROM THE STAFF REPORT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. AFTER FURTHER CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY ENGINEERS AND THE APPLICANT DESIGN TEAM. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS? THANK YOU. JUST BRIEFLY, UM, WENT TO INTRODUCE THE REST OF THE TEAM.

JASON TALKING LISA, ME, CLAIRE. HERE FROM F CON COMMUNITIES AND PODCASTERS IS HERE FROM FARES.

PLANNING DESIGN. UM WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FIRST TO THE STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION. I KNOW THIS PROJECT HAS HAS GONE THROUGH PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ZONING WITH A LOT OF DISCUSSION.

STAFF WORKED REALLY HARD WITH US TO HELP DEVELOP THIS FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. UM BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THE NATURAL STREAM CHANNEL FEATURES OF THE ENTRY FUTURES MEETING THE EQUIVALENT OF THE TAIWAN POND DESIGN STANDARDS AND THEN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION

[00:30:02]

LANDSCAPING ALONG THAT AREA, BUT THERE'S NOT A PROPOSED ADDITIONAL SOUND WALL WITH OH DOT OR OR ANYONE AT THIS AT THIS POINT. BUT SOMETHING THAT TO THE DEVELOPMENT. TO PURSUE OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT STAFF CAN PURSUE WITH OLD DOC? I BELIEVE MOST SOUND WALLS ARE OH DOT DRIVEN, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT THAT WE CAN WE CAN DISCUSS WITH THEM IN TERMS OF APPROPRIATENESS. I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE EXTENDED IT ALONG THIS CORRIDOR RECENTLY. SO UM, DOESN'T SEEM OUT OF THE ORDINARY TO ASSESS TO BE CONTINUE TO BE EXTENDED. JUST SEE THAT AS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. YOU KNOW? I DO BELIEVE AS PART OF THIS APPLICATION, THOUGH THERE'S SOME FAIRLY EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING BEING PROPOSED ALONG THEIR 71 CORRIDOR AS WELL. SO YOU KNOW, FROM THIS PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW, WE FEEL THAT THE BUFFER FROM THE HIGHWAY IS APPROPRIATE, BUT THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT TO STOP FURTHER CONVERSATIONS FROM HAPPENING OF THE SOUND WALL WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY. IN MY OTHER. QUESTION IS , WAS THERE EVER CONSIDERATION GIVEN? I GUESS THIS IS FOR BOTH STAFF AND DEVELOPER. IS TO HAVING THE TWO EMERGENCY ENTRANCE IS ACTUALLY BE ENTRANCES INTO THE PROPERTY. YES THERE IS A PRIVATE PROPERTIES OF DOESN'T REALLY ADD. TREMENDOUS TRAVEL THROUGH TRAFFIC, RIGHT? WE WE EXTENSIVELY EVALUATED THAT WITH BOTH STAFF AND UM, COUNCIL AND NEIGHBORS. THERE WAS A PRELIMINARY NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING HELD WITH ALL THE ADJACENT RESIDENTS, AND OVERWHELMINGLY DID WE HEAR FROM EXISTING NEIGHBORS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT FULL ACCESS THROUGH THIS DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY ON THE SOUTH THROUGH PRESLEY DRIVE. THIS WOULD CREATE A DIRECT CUT THROUGH TO THE HIGH SCHOOL THAT WOULD HAVE WOULD TAKE ALL THE TRAFFIC OFF OF WHAT I MEAN WOULDN'T TAKE ALL THE TRAFFIC OFF WHITE ROAD, BUT IT WOULD PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT FOR TRAFFIC ON WHITE ROAD TO UTILIZE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS TO GET DIRECTLY TO THE HIGH SCHOOL.

UM, SO AFTER THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE NEIGHBORS, WE RE MET WITH STAFF AND, UM THE INITIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM STAFF WERE TO HAVE PUBLIC CONNECTIONS AND AFTER THOSE CONVERSATIONS STAFF AND THE F CON COMMUNITIES ALL AGREED THAT, UM, IT DIDN'T MAKE THE MOST SENSE. IT WAS NOT SAFE TO ADD THAT MUCH MORE CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY ON THE SOUTH SIDE. TO THESE DEVELOPMENTS. THE INFANTS ON WHITE ROAD. I'M TRAVERSE THAT ROAD FOR THE LAST 50 SOME YEARS.

QUITE REGULARLY. IT JUST IT'S AT THE PEAK OF THAT RIDGE. AND, UH, ANY. THAT'S RUDE IS WHAT'S THE SPEED LIMIT ON THAT POINT? WHITE ROAD IS 35 CORRECT? NOT BE, BUT AT THIS TIME WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE CHOOSE TO GO 35 IT IS A SIGNED AT 35. THAT'S JUST CONCERNED TO ME BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT WHERE YOU KIND OF PEOPLE FEEL THAT CLEARED THE LAST FEW RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAYS ON THE SOUTH SIDE. THROUGH THERE. THERE'S NO RESIDENTIAL DRIVES ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE HEADED EAST. HMM. JUST SEEMS LIKE A SO WE HAVE REVIEWED THAT INTERSECTION IN GREAT DETAIL AND PROVIDED A LOT OF SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION TO STAFF. PLACING THE INTERSECTION OF THE PEAK IS THE HANDS DOWN, SAFEST LOCATION FOR ANY CONNECTION POINT TO WHITE ROAD WHEN YOU WERE AT THE PEAK. BOTH TRAFFIC LEAVING THE SITE CAN SEE BOTH DIRECTIONS FOR OVER A QUARTER OF A MILE, WHICH, ACTUALLY IF TRAFFIC WAS TRAVELING AT 55, MPH, OR GREATER THEY WOULD STILL MEET, NOT SAFE STOPPING DISTANCE AND INTERCESSION SIGHT DISTANCE AT THAT LOCATION. AND SIMILARLY, IF YOU WERE APPROACHING FROM THE EAST OR THE WEST, EVEN AS YOU GO DOWN, AND I'M YOU KNOW, WE WENT OUT AND VIDEO. TRAFFIC TRAVELING THROUGH THEIR, UM AT 3 30 WHEN SCHOOLS WERE GETTING OUT TO WATCH, BUS, TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING. FROM FROM BOTH

[00:35:02]

35 IS WHAT IS POSTED, BUT WE KNOW PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPEED. UM IF YOU DO THAT, FROM BOTH SIDES, YOU NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE PEAK OF THAT THAT CREST. SO, UM AFTER AGAIN WORKING WITH STAFF, PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION TO STAFF AND THE CITY ENGINEER. UM WE BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF PEOPLE ARE SPEEDING ON WHITE ROAD, WE HAVE STILL HAVE A SAFE ACCESS POINT FOR PEOPLE LEAVING OUR SITE OR FOR PEOPLE TRAVELING ON WHITE ROAD TO REACT TO ANYONE COMING OUT OF OUR SIGHT. UM AND ADDITIONALLY, PART OF THAT CONVERSATION WAS TOO CHANGE THE PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION SO THAT WE ARE JUST LOOKING AT VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND NOT ADDING THE ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC TO THAT CROSSING POINT AS WELL. AND ONE MORE QUESTION FOR STAFF, AND I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THIS DO SCHOOL BUSSES AND THEIR BUS ROUTES.

COME ONTO PRIVATE PROPERTY AND APARTMENT COMPLEXES AND CONDOMINIUM COMPLEXES, ARE THEY HAVE TO STAY OUT ON. CITY STREETS. I MEAN, I DON'T I'M NOT THE AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT, BUT I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GO OVER THE PRIVATE STREETS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SERVICE FOR TRANSPORTATION FOR THE STUDENTS. I BELIEVE I HAVE SEEN SOUTHWESTERN CITY SCHOOL BUSSES. I'M PRIVATE TOWARDS COMPLEX. OKAY THAT WAS JUST MY CONCERN WITH EVERYTHING IS JUST SAFETY IS APPRECIATE YOU, MR. I GUESS I DO NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS TO ADD TO WHAT KIM SAID. BUT YEAH, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT PARTS OF THE PARK THAT HAVE PRIVATE STREETS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. AND I WOULD ASSUME AGAIN THAT SCHOOL BUSSES HAVE WHEN ENTERING INTO THE NEW PARTS OF VILLA PARK. BUT AGAIN, I IT'S AN ASSUMPTION I HAVE NOT GONE OUT TO VERIFY. BUT SHE'S IN TERMS OF SAFE ABILITY TO SERVICE . THESE DEVELOPMENTS IN TERMS OF THE MANEUVERABILITY OF THE BUSSES. I THINK THAT AND AGAIN THIS IS NOT HAVING THE SPECIFIC DATA IN FRONT OF ME, BUT WE ALWAYS REQUIRE FIRE TRUCK MANEUVERABILITY EXHIBITS, SO I THINK A LOT OF THAT GOES COMPARABLE TO THE MANEUVERABILITY OF OTHER LARGER SCALE VEHICLES, WHICH SHOULD POTENTIALLY SERVE AS A SCHOOL BUS. BUSSES ARE SMALLER THAN FIRE TRUCKS, SO THE FIRE TRUCK TURNING TO BLOOD THAT WE USE IS ACTUALLY MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN WHAT A SCHOOL BUS WOULD THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF PLANNING COMMISSION. I HAVE A FEW COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS. ON THE NORTHERN PARCEL. I'M GLAD TO SEE THE STORM WATER BASIN IS NOW A SERIES OF STEP DOWN PONDS. I THINK THAT'S A CREATIVE WAY. TO DEAL WITH THE WATER INTENTION, AND IT WILL BE A GOOD LOOKING FEATURE. I'M ALSO SUPPORTIVE OF THE STAFF FOR COMMENDATION TO REMOVE THE PRIVACY FENCE. I THINK CONSISTENCY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT AND I PERSONALLY WOULDN'T WANT OFFENSE BACK THERE. SO I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. UM ONE OTHER OBSERVATION. I WAS REALLY AMAZED AT THE CREATIVITY OF REMOVING THE CROSSWALK ACROSS WHITE ROAD AS THE SOLUTION FOR HOW RESIDENTS MOVE BETWEEN THE TWO. UM, PARTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S CERTAINLY FIXES THE PROBLEM OF THE SAFETY OF CROSSING LIKE ROAD. YOU GO UP TO THAT INTERSECTION. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT EXACERBATES THE SEPARATION OF THESE TWO COMMUNITIES. AND I THINK WHAT YOU END UP WITH HIS TWO INDEPENDENT COMMUNITIES THAT DON'T CROSS OVER MUCH. AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY'RE GETTING IN THEIR CAR. THEY'RE DRIVING DOWN AND NOT FINDING ENOUGH PARKING AT THE CLUBHOUSE TO HOLD THE EVENT THAT THEY WANTED TO HOLD.

SO I THINK THAT LOOKS OUT FOR THEIR SAFETY THAT SEPARATES THE TWO COMMUNITIES APART. I WAS OPPOSED TO THIS WHEN IT FIRST CAME THROUGH PRELIMINARY AND ZONING AND I REMAIN VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO IT AS TOO MUCH TOO DENSE TO MANY. UNITS ON THESE LITTLE PARCELS WITH VERY SMALL STREETS. AND THIS REALLY DRIVES BACK TO OUR LITTLE WERE ASKED TO LOOK AT THE CRIME CITY 2015.

COMMUNITY PLAN AND FUTURE LAND USE MAP VERY CLOSELY AS WE LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, AND THIS CALLS FOR THIS TO BE PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND PRESERVATION. HIGHLIGHTING NATURAL FEATURES ON THE SITE AND PROVIDING OPEN SPACE TO SERVE AREA RESIDENTS. AND MY OBSERVATION IS THE ONLY

[00:40:04]

STREAM CORRIDORS, SO I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED THIS TO BE A LESS DENSE, MUCH LESS DENSE COMMUNITY. AND TO HAVE, UM MUCH BETTER COMMUNITY PARK FEATURES AND OPEN SPACES BUILT INTO THEM.

SO UM, I WON'T NOT BE VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS, UM PROPOSAL. THAT'S NOT UNCOMMON. THANKS. THE OTHER QUESTIONS PLANNING COMMISSION. IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK MIXING NONE ALREADY FOR EMOTION. TAKE THE MOTION. WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL APPLICATION.

FIVE COURTYARDS AT MARRIOTT FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TWO STIPULATIONS. RECOMMENDATION TO OUR COUNCIL. BROKEN. MR ROCK. NO. MR FARNSWORTH? YES. MR TITUS? YES. CHAIR. ROYSTER? YES.
