[Ordinance C-04-26 Approve the Rezoning of 4.13+ acres located at 4745 Big Run Road from SF-1 (single-family residential) to PUD-R (planned unit development – residential) with Zoning Text. Second reading and public hearing. ]

LANDS COMMITTEE WITH CHAIRMAN HALINGA. THANK YOU, MISTER PRESIDENT. THE FIRST ORDINANCE FOR CONSIDERATION IS ORDINANCE C, 004 DASH 26 TO APPROVE THE REZONING OF 4.13 ACRES LOCATED AT 4745 BIG RUN ROAD FROM SF ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, RESIDENTIAL WITH ZONING TEXT. THIS IS A SECOND READING AND DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN REGARD TO THAT? GO RIGHT AHEAD. GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. YEAH.

HELLO THERE COUNCIL. NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. MY NAME IS JARED EISENTHAL AT 566 WEST LAKE STREET, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. OKAY. THAT'S GREAT. IF YOU WANT TO PRESENT YOUR PROPOSAL AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THIS IS JUST THE PDR, THE DEVELOPMENT. OKAY. DOWN THERE. OKAY. YEAH.

WELL, HAPPY TO PROVIDE A REMINDER. THIS IS THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. AND SECOND READING SECOND REZONE READING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 120 UNIT ASSISTED LIVING PROPERTY AT 4745 BIG RUN SOUTH. WE WERE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS FOR A PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN LAST YEAR. OVER THE COURSE OF LAST YEAR TILL TODAY, WE'VE CONTINUED TO WORK ON THOSE DEVELOPMENT PLANS, MORE THOUGHTFUL STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, MORE THOUGHTFUL LANDSCAPING BUFFER, AS WELL AS GENERAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS. WE BELIEVE THIS PROJECT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL ACCESS TO ASSISTED LIVING OPTIONS FOR SENIORS IN GROVE CITY, ALSO WILL PROVIDE AMPLE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, CREATING OVER 50 OVER 100 CONSTRUCTION JOBS, 50 FULL TIME AND PART TIME JOBS WHEN THE PROPERTY IS OPEN AND ALL IN. REALLY THINK IT'S A GREAT ALIGNMENT TO THE GROVE CITY 2050 PLAN. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU. I WILL HAVE QUESTIONS, BUT IT'S ON THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN SIDE. OKAY, GREAT. OKAY. AND MR. RAUSCH, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT? OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE THAT HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN REGARD TO THE PROJECT? OKAY. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS ORDINANCE. SEE FEW COMMENTS. OH, YOU HAVE COMMENTS? I'M SORRY I DIDN'T SEE YOU. I GUESS I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A QUESTION DIRECTED TOWARDS YOU OR KYLE. I'M NOT NECESSARILY OPPOSED TO ASSISTED HOUSING. I THINK I JUST WANT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE MARKET DEMAND.

HOW MANY ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES DO WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN GROVE CITY, AND DO WE KNOW THE OCCUPANCY? I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD RIGHT NOW. I KNOW RECENTLY WE HAVE DONE THAT ANALYSIS IN TERMS OF INVENTORYING THE NUMBER OF FACILITIES AND ROOMS. BUT AGAIN, WHAT WE DO WITH THE CITY HERE IS CONTROL THE LAND USE AND ZONING OF IT. NOT REALLY THE MARKET ASPECT OF IT. SO IF, IF, IF THE COMPANY IDENTIFIES A MAND OR DEMAND OR A POSSIBILITY THAT THEIR USE WOULD WORK, IT'S UP TO THEM TO FILL THAT GAP. WE DON'T DO MARKET ANALYSIS AS PART OF OUR OUR ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT. AGAIN, WE LOOK AT

[00:10:04]

TRAFFIC, LANE USE AND OTHER CRITERIA, BUT NOT MARKET SUSTAINABILITY. THAT'S WHERE I'M SURE THE DEVELOPER COULD FILL THE FILL THAT NEED IF YOU HAVE THAT QUESTION. SO WE DON'T TRACK HOW MANY WE HAVE THAT TRACKED. BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION TONIGHT. OKAY. MR. RAUCH, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. OKAY. THIS REZONING ALSO HAD SOME DEVIATIONS REGARDING PARKING SPACES AND GREEN SPACE JUST FOR THE PUBLIC. CAN YOU TALK TO WHY THE DEVIATIONS WERE GIVEN IN THIS REZONING IN TERMS OF THE TRAFFIC, WE KNOW THESE USES DON'T GENERATE A LOT OF AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC PER THEIR TRAFFIC STUDY. I BELIEVE THERE'S A PEAK OF 38 TRIPS ON ON A GIVEN DAY OR SO. IT'S IT'S NOT A HEAVY TRAFFIC TRIP GENERATION USE PRIMARILY. ALL ACTIVITIES HAPPEN WITHIN THE BUILDINGS WALLS. SO REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS. IS THERE A CAPACITY TO PARK VISITORS COMING TO THE FACILITY, MORE SO THAN PEOPLE COMING AND GOING FROM THE SITE. THAT THAT BAR WAS CLEAR WITH STAFF AND IN TERMS OF THE OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS, AGAIN, THE THE RESIDENTS WITHIN THIS BUILDING DO NOT REALLY LEAVE. SO AGAIN, IF IF THEY PROVIDE THE SERVICES, AMENITIES WITHIN THE BUILDING, WE GET, WE GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT OF LENIENCY. BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF UNITS BEING 120, IF WE CONSIDER IT TO BE ACTUAL RESIDENTIAL UNITS, IT WOULD REQUIRE 5.3 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE. THIS THE SITE IS 4.1 ACRES. SO WE'RE ASKING FOR MORE THAN WHAT? THAN WHAT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE SITE IS. BUT AGAIN, THE OFFERINGS ARE WITHIN THE WITHIN THE BUILDING.

SO THAT'S WHY WE WE MAKE THAT REQUEST THAT DEVIATION. YEAH. AND AGAIN I SAW THAT IN THE STAFF REPORT. I WAS JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC UNDERSTOOD THE DEVIATIONS. AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AND WITH THE GREEN SPACE THERE, I ALSO THERE WAS NOTED THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE AN EIGHT FOOT MULTI-USE PATH THAT CONNECTS TO LAKE LANIER. YEAH, THEY'LL BE PULLING DOWN A BIKE PATH FROM WHERE THE SCHOOL GENERALLY STOPS. WE CAN DISCUSS THAT UNDER THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AT THE END HERE. YES, THERE IS A MULTI-USE PATH, OKAY, CONNECTIVITY IN THAT AREA. BUT FOR THE PARKING SPACES IN THIS REZONING WITH 120 UNITS, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE 70 PARKING SPOTS, RIGHT? CORRECT. AGAIN, BECAUSE THE RESIDENTS HERE ARE NOT COMING GOING THERE. PEOPLE COME TO VISIT THEM. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.

OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE ON COUNCIL THAT HAS ANY ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION PLEASE. THANK YOU I'M SORRY I JUST WANT TO JUST AGAIN LEVEL SET SINCE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS COMING AFTER THIS. BUT THIS IS THE REZONING RIGHT NOW. IT'S SINGLE FAMILY AND THE ASK IS FOR IT TO GO TO A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT RESIDENTIAL. AND WE SAID THIS IS FOR ASSISTED LIVING, CORRECT. WHAT OTHER THINGS CAN GO WITHIN A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT? I MEAN THIS YOU KNOW, WOULD BE A MULTI UNIT BUILDING THAT'S BUILT SAY OR CAN THE DEVELOPER THEN CHANGE AND NOT WANT IT TO BE ASSISTED LIVING IN IT. IT GOES TO SOMETHING ELSE. AND I MEAN TEN YEARS FROM NOW, 20 YEARS FROM NOW. RIGHT. I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THROUGH THE ZONING PERSPECTIVE AND OUR APPROVING OF A ZONING CHANGE, ZONING TEXT CHANGE. THIS PUD WAS WHEN YOU DO A PUD, IT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO DRAFT THE ZONING TEXT. IN THIS CASE, THE APPLICANT DID DRAFT THE ZONING TEXT AND THE PERMITTED USE IS ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY ONLY.

ADDITIONAL USES THAT ARE PERMITTED ARE ANCILLARY TO THE LIVING FACILITY OFFERINGS. SO IT'S THE GAZEBO OUTSIDE. IT'S MINIMAL. THERE'S THERE'S NOT A BIG CHANGE OF USE THAT COULD HAPPEN FROM WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED TODAY. OKAY. THIS IS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY FOR THOSE PEOPLE 65 AND OLDER. OKAY. SO THEY CAN'T DECIDE IN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. THEY WANT IT TO JUST APARTMENTS THAT ARE SINGLE OR SO. THERE'S NOTHING UNDER THE LAW THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THEM FROM COMING BACK AND FILING. A WHOLE NEW REZONING APPLICATION WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU TO MAKE THAT DECISION. SO, YEAH, I MEAN, NOTHING STOPS THEM IN THE FUTURE FOR CHANGING IT, BUT THERE IS A CHECK IN THAT IT WOULD BE A REZONING AND HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PROCESS LIKE THIS HAS. AND IS THERE AN APOLOGIES IF I MISSED THIS. IS THERE ANY KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT WITH THE MAYBE THAT'S A DEVELOPMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN? I CAN HOLD THAT. OKAY. SO THIS IS BASICALLY WE'RE LOOKING TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE. THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS SECOND READING AND A PUBLIC HEARING AND I MOVE IT BE APPROVED. DO I HAVE A SECOND SECOND. NO.

KALINGA. YES. BARRY. YES. HOLT. YES. STURM. YES. BURROUGHS. YES. OMAR. NO. I WOULD LIKE TO

[00:15:07]

EXCUSE MR. HOLT FOR PERSONAL PRIVILEGE HERE. JUST FOR A MOMENT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO. OKAY.

WE CAN CONTINUE ON THEN. OKAY. I DON'T KNOW IF I HAD TO DO THAT OR NOT. OKAY. WE DIDN'T

[Ordinance C-05-26 Approve a Special Use Permit for Outdoor Seating for Mi Tradicion located at 3131 Broadway. Second reading and public hearing. ]

REALLY HAVE TIME, FOLKS, TO USE THE RESTROOM, OKAY? THE THE SECOND THING ON OUR AGENDA IS ORDINANCE C05 DASH 26, AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR OUTDOOR SEATING FOR MI, LOCATED AT 3131 BROADWAY.

SO WE'RE LOOKING TO UTILIZE THE CONCRETE PAD, WHICH WAS PREEXISTING AS A OUTDOOR SEATING SPACE AND PATIO AREA FOR THE RESTAURANT CURRENTLY RESIDING AT 3131 BROADWAY. IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IN THE PICTURE, WE'LL BE EXPANDING USING VERY SIMILAR PILASTERS A LITTLE BIT TOWARDS THE PREEXISTING SIDEWALK AS WELL, TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL FOR TABLES AND THE SPACE YOU'RE SEEING UP THERE. OKAY. SO YEAH, WE'LL JUST ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS HAVE ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, BE HAPPY TO ANSWER, OKAY. MR. RAUCH, ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU NEED TO GIVE US IS PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY. YEP.

OKAY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? I ASSUME NOT. OKAY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? I'LL FACE THIS DIRECTION, I KNOW. ONLY COMMENT I'LL MAKE IS.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING MORE OUTDOOR PATIO SPACE TO GROVE CITY. WE LOVE OUR PATIO SPACE HERE IN THE TOWN CENTER AND ON BROADWAY, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH AND LOOK FORWARD TO CHECKING IT OUT. YEAH, WE HOPE IT'S A BEAUTIFUL ADDITION TO THE, YOU KNOW, ENTRANCE OF THE CITY. YOU KNOW, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ANYONE? OKAY. IF THEY'RE NOT, IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AND I MOVE IT BE APPROVED SECOND. KALINGA. YES. BARRY. YES. YES.

GIVE US YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND DESCRIPTION. REBECCA MOTTE WITH THE PLANCK LAW FIRM WITH AN OFFICE ADDRESS OF 411 EAST TOWN STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO. THE PROPERTIES AT 1947 STRINGTOWN ROAD, AND IT ALREADY IS ZONED C-2 COMMERCIAL. WHAT WE'RE DOING IS CONVERTING THE BUILDING INTO 3 TO 4 TENANT SPACES FOR RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PATIO ON THE WEST END AND A PATIO ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS A DRIVE THROUGH, ALL WHICH NECESSITATE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. WE'RE ADDING SUBSTANTIAL LANDSCAPING TO THE PROPERTY. IT PRETTY MUCH EVERY PERIMETER BOUNDARY LINE WE COULD FIND. WE ADDED LANDSCAPING, AND THE GROVE CITY 2050 PLAN IDENTIFIES THE PROPERTY FOR COMMERCIAL CENTER, AND THAT ALLOWS FOR COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL SCALE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. SITUATED NEAR AND ALONG MAJOR ROADWAY CORRIDORS, 1 TO 3 STORIES WITH A MIX OF LARGE FOOTPRINT BUILDINGS AND SMALLER FOOTPRINT BUILDINGS WITH A SETBACK OF 20 TO 50FT, THE PROPERTIES IN THE COMMERCIAL CENTER SHOULD ALSO HAVE TRANSIT CONNECTIONS AND WALKABILITY, SO THIS PROPERTY COMPLIES WITH THE GOALS OF THE GROVE CITY 2050 PLAN. THE PROPERTY WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL SCALE RETAIL BUSINESSES, AND IT IS NEAR A MAJOR CORRIDOR OF I-71.

ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE A QUESTION JUST TO CLARIFY. SO

[00:25:01]

IT'S THE SAME SQUARE FOOTAGE AS CHINA BELL. CORRECT. SAME TECHNICAL USE. THIS IS FOR KYLE.

OKAY. SAME SAME USE AS CHINA BELL. BASICALLY IT'S RETAIL. IT'S NOT MORE INTENSE. IT MIGHT BE RETAIL, BUT I WOULD SAY RETAIL IS LESS INTENSE THAN A RESTAURANT OKAY. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THANKS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES. AND THEN ON THE ON THE PARKING LOT THERE'S NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE PARKING LOT ITSELF. I DON'T BELIEVE RIGHT THERE ISN'T. EXCEPT WE'RE ADDING TREES IN THE END. ISLANDS IN THE PENINSULAS. OKAY. THE APPLICANT IS GOING THROUGH AND WILL BE RESURFACING THE PARKING LOT. AND LIKE LIKE REBECCA SAID, WE'LL BE INSTALLING TREE ISLANDS TO TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PARKING STANDARDS FOR THE CITY. GROVE CITY. SO IT SHOULD LOOK PRETTY NICE, MR. CHAIRMAN. YES. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR THE TREES. SECOND SECOND THING IS THAT THAT OUTLOT THAT'S TO THE TO TOWARDS STRINGTOWN ROAD. IS THERE ANY PLANS FOR THAT RIGHT NOW. SORRY. GO AHEAD. THIS IS YOUR PROJECT.

IT'S ABOUT THE BUILDING IS SET BACK 250FT IN THAT YARD. SPACE IS NEEDED FOR VISIBILITY. SO WE WOULD NOT PUT A STRUCTURE THERE. AND IT ACTUALLY IS PART OF OUR SAME PARCEL. IT'S NOT A SEPARATE PARCEL OKAY. SO WE'LL BE ADDING TREES TO THAT. MAYBE. WELL, THERE'S A STIPULATION UNDER THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT PLANNING COMMISSION ADDED FOR FOUR ADDITIONAL TREES.

BUT WE HAD A WHOLE ENTIRE LINE OF HEDGEROWS THERE. AND WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO REMOVE THAT STIPULATION BECAUSE OF VISIBILITY. IT'S GOING TO IMPEDE OUR VISIBILITY INTO THE BUILDING. SURE. I'LL ARGUE WITH YOU. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN COMMENTS AS PART OF A PATIO PERMIT, THE NEXT APPLICATION WILL BE FOR THE DRIVE THROUGH. THE FOLLOWING APPLICATION THAT COUNCIL WILL HEAR WILL BE THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND COUNCIL STICK TO THE KIND OF THE PERMITS.

OKAY JODY ANY YOUR ELLEN ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OKAY. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS I HAVE ONE MORE I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. NO, I APPRECIATE IT. I KNOW WE CAN'T ASK THIS. THIS IS MORE JUST ME MAKING A STATEMENT. IF YOU WOULD PASS THIS ALONG TO THE DEVELOPER. THIS PROPERTY OBVIOUSLY WAS OF A LOT OF TOPIC IN THE PAST AND PREVIOUS. DEVELOPERS BEING THE DISPENSARY THAT CAME IN, HAD TALKED ABOUT ALSO WANTING TO BEAUTIFY THE PROPERTY AND WOULD BE A PARTNER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE A GOOD PARTNER TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS BEING A NEW. COMPANY, COMING IN AFTER A LONG STANDING COMPANY HAS GONE THERE.

I CAN APPRECIATE SOMETHING BEING BEAUTIFIED. I CERTAINLY, I THINK IN THAT AREA CAN APPRECIATE SOMETHING LOOKING MORE MODERN. I WOULD JUST HOPE THAT THE DEVELOPER MAYBE HOLDS A VERY SIMILAR MINDSET OF WANTING TO BE A REALLY GOOD COMMUNITY PARTNER AND GIVE BACK, IN THE SENSE THAT PAST ONES HAD DISCUSSED. SO JUST MORE OF ME MAKING A COMMENT. ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. ANOTHER COMMENTS. OKAY THEN I'D LIKE TO. THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AND I MOVE THAT IT BE APPROVED. WE HAVE A SECOND SECOND. BARRY. YES. HOLT I'M HAPPY TO VOTE. YES. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MISS CATHY FOR A YEAR AND A HALF TO FACILITATE THIS PROPERTY. STURM. YES. YES. OMAR. NO. ANDERSON. YES, YES.

THANK YOU. OKAY. YOU'RE WELCOME. YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY UP THERE, I GUESS. SO THE NEXT ITEM ON

[Ordinance C-07-26 Approve a Special Use Permit for A Drive-Thru for Stringtown Gantz CB located at 1947 Stringtown Road. Second reading and public hearing ]

THE AGENDA IS AC0726. AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A DRIVE THROUGH FOR STRINGTOWN. GANT CB, LOCATED AT 1947 STRINGTOWN ROAD. THERE'S A SCHEMATIC UP HERE.

REBECCA MOTTE WITH THE PLANCK LAW FIRM. AND PRETTY MUCH THE DISCUSSION WOULD BE THE SAME.

SO I'M JUST HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. OKAY, KYLE. ANY COMMENTS? NO COMMENTS.

JUST TO NOTE THAT WE DON'T KNOW THE END USERS. SO STAFF LOOKED AT THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE PUBLIC ROAD NETWORK, THE WAY THE BUILDING SITED AND WAY THE WAY THE DRIVE THRUS ARE SITED. STAFF FELT PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. WHATEVER HAPPENS THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO IMPACT THE PUBLIC ROADWAYS OF GROVE CITY, SO WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL AND PLANNING COMMISSION ENDORSE THAT TO CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? YES. SORRY. AND AGAIN THIS THANK YOU. THIS SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A DRIVE THROUGH HAS TO COME THROUGH AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S ALREADY A SPECIAL USE PERMIT THAT EXISTS AT THAT LOCATION FOR A DRIVE THROUGH, BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DRIVE THROUGH

[00:30:03]

THAT'S STAFF FELT UNCOMFORTABLE. SO WE WANTED TO PUT THEM BACK IN FRONT OF CITY COUNCIL BECAUSE IT WAS RECONFIGURED. AND I THINK IT IS A LITTLE MORE INTENSE THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED FOR AS A PICKUP WINDOW. THE DRIVE THROUGH AND STAFF'S MIND INVOLVES A MENU BOARD IN WHICH YOU ORDER. A PICKUP WINDOW IS WHERE YOU DRIVE IT TO THE WINDOW AND PICK UP. THE ORDER HAS ALREADY BEEN PLACED, SO A PICKUP WINDOW WOULDN'T HAVE THE SAME STACKING CONCERNS THAT A DRIVE THROUGH WOULD. OKAY, EVEN THOUGH WE LOOKED AT IT AND WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH IT, KNOWING THAT SPECIAL USE PERMITS THEN CAN CONTINUE ON IN PERPETUITY, CORRECT? THERE WILL BE IN PERPETUITY UNTIL THE BUSINESS CEASES FOR SIX MONTHS OR GREATER THAT THEY LOSE THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER, MR. ROEMER, ANY ANY COMMENTS? YES. JODY. REBECCA, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC FLOW? I KNOW THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT PLANNING COMMISSION BROUGHT UP. SO WE HAVE A ONE WAY DOWN BOTH OF THESE DRIVE AISLES AT THE PARKING. SO THERE WILL BE SIGNAGE AND LIKE A STRIPE ON THE ROAD THERE SO PEOPLE CAN'T ENTER. THERE WILL BE AN EXIT LANE THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH.

SO WHEN THE CARS ARE STACKED, THEY HAVE A WAY TO GET OUT AND MANEUVER. AND THE ENGINEER PUTS IT PUT THIS TOGETHER AS A GREAT CIRCULATION FOR THE SITE. BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PIECES. YEAH. THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THAT. YOU'RE WELCOME. I ATTENDED THE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ON ALL THESE SITES, SO WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF THE DETAIL ON IT AND IT APPEARED TO BE SATISFACTORY AND IN, IN MY SIGHT. SO ANYWAY, OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? OKAY. THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS SECOND READING AND A PUBLIC HEARING AND I MOVE IT BE APPROVED SECOND. MR. HOLT, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CATHY FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. I'M HAPPY TO VOTE. YES. STURM. YES, YES. YES. OMAR. NO. ANDERSON. YES. HALINGA. YES. BARRY. YES.

[Resolution CR-05-26 Approve the Development Plan for Stringtown Gantz CB Development located at 1947 Stringtown Road.]

OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A RESOLUTION CR 0526, A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR STRINGTOWN. GANTZ CB DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 1947 STRINGTOWN ROAD. YOU'RE UP THERE AGAIN? YES. I THINK I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH THE LANDSCAPING. YEAH, AROUND THE PROPERTY. SO FOR STRINGTOWN, THAT FRONTAGE, WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE AN EVERGREEN HEDGE. AND AT GANTZ ROAD WE ARE PROVIDING AN EVERGREEN HEDGE AND TEN TREES, THE SIDE YARDS, THE RALLIES TO THE NORTH WILL HAVE FOUR TREES AND EIGHT SHRUBS.

THE SPEEDWAY TO THE EAST WILL HAVE THREE TREES AND FOUR SHRUBS. THE VACANT PROPERTY TO THE EAST WOULD HAVE THREE TREES AND SIX SHRUBS. THE COMFORT INTO THE SOUTH WILL HAVE FOUR TREES AND EIGHT SHRUBS, AND THERE WILL BE THE PENINSULA AND ISLAND TREES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT AND THE PERIMETER TREES ARE A WHOLE DIFFERENT OTHER SET OF STANDARDS FOR LANDSCAPING. IT'S BASED ON BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND WE'RE ADDING FIVE TREES AND 23 SHRUBS. JUST WANTED TO GO THROUGH THAT DETAIL. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? MR. BERRY? SO BASICALLY THE GRASS AREA TO THE TO FACING STRINGTOWN ROAD IS JUST YOU'RE JUST IT'S GOING TO BE PLAIN GRASS GRASS AND THEN SET BACK A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF THAT YARD IS THE EVERGREEN HEDGE. OKAY.

WHAT ABOUT STANDING TREES IN THAT AREA? I MEAN, WE HAVE A, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE TREE CANOPY IN THE, IN THE CITY, THAT AREA ESPECIALLY NEEDS SOME TREES. OKAY. PLANNING COMMISSION ADDED A STIPULATION ON THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR FOUR TREES IN THIS AREA.

AND THAT STIPULATION WASN'T REMOVED BY PLANNING COMMISSION. WE ARE REITERATING AND ASKING FOR THAT TO BE REMOVED HERE, JUST BECAUSE THE BUILDING IS SET BACK SO FAR AND IT WILL IMPEDE THE VISIBILITY. BUT WE UNDERSTAND IF COUNCIL IS NOT INCLINED TO DO SO. I'M NOT INCLINED TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TREES. SO DO WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT? TAMMY IN? NO, YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE RESOLUTION IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REMOVE THE STIPULATION THAT REQUIRES SUCH. THE TREES GO. IS IT THE NUMBER OF TREES THAT'S IMPORTANT, RIGHT. VERSUS WHERE THEY ACTUALLY ARE BASED ON VISIBILITY AND SIGHT CONCERNS? I, I'M HAVING TROUBLE VISUALIZING THE TREES THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT. AND UNDERSTANDING THE SIGHT PIECE OF IT. AND I, I WONDER ABOUT TRAFFIC AND WHAT THAT SIGHT IMPEDIMENT IS. BUT IS THERE A LIKE THERE'S STILL THE TREES. CAN THEY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO HELP ALLEVIATE THE

[00:35:02]

OTHER CONCERNS? WE KNOW THAT WE CAN'T PUT THEM ANYWHERE ELSE. WE FILLED ALL OF THE PROPERTY LINES WITH TREES. BUT THE PROBLEM HERE, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND MISSY, IS THAT YOU HAVE JUST VACANT OPEN GRASS THERE WITH NOTHING IN IT. IT'S BARREN. NOW, WHERE IS THAT? THAT YOU'RE.

THIS IS THIS IS ON STRINGTOWN ROAD. IF YOU SEE WHERE THE DOTS ARE. YEAH, YEAH. IT'S BARREN NOW. IT'S IT NEEDS TREES. IT NEEDS SOMETHING IN THERE. SO WHERE YOU PUT THE SIGN IS UP TO YOU. BUT I MEAN, THERE NEEDS TO BE THERE SHOULD PUT A LITTLE TRIANGLE IN IT. YEP. BUT WE NEED WE NEED TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF TREE CANOPY IN THAT AREA. I MEAN, IT'S JUST OPEN PAVEMENT IN THAT AREA AND IT'S. WE NEED SOMETHING THERE. OKAY. BUT I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHERE TO PUT THEM, BUT IT NEEDS SOMETHING, OKAY. MR. SCHRUM YEAH, ACTUALLY THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION IS, IS PLACEMENT? I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE RUN INTO IS IF THEY'RE TOO CLOSE TO THE ROAD, THEN YOU'RE BLOCKING YOU WHEN YOU'RE TRYING A LARGE OPEN AREA. I KNOW, YEAH, I KNOW, BUT THE THERE'S THE RIGHT THERE THROUGH THE CENTER ONTO STRINGTOWN. YOU CAN GET OUT RIGHT THERE. SO I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT PUTTING TREES THERE UNLESS I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF TREES YOU'RE CONSIDERING OVERALL, BUT UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING WITH A HIGH CANOPY SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE. RIGHT. WELL, IT'S UP TO THEM IS WHAT I'M SAYING, WHERE THEY THEY PUT THEM AS WHEREVER I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S PART OF OUR PROBLEM TOO, IS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO PUT IN FORCE THEM TO PUT SOMETHING IN THAT'S GOING TO MAKE IT SO PEOPLE CAN'T SEE WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO PULL OUT. MR. STURM, THE STIPULATION SAYS THEY THEY'RE ONLY TWO INCH CALIPER TREES. THERE'S LITTLE BITTY. THEY'RE NOT THAT BIG. OKAY. HOW FAR BACK OFF THE ROAD WOULD THEY BE? YES, SIR. MR. HOLT. NO, HE'S NOT DONE YET. I'M SORRY. HOW FAR? BACK OFF THE ROAD WOULD THEY BE? I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE WOULD PLACE THEM, BUT THERE'S A MANDATE TO PLACE THEM IN THAT AREA. DON'T FIGURE IT OUT WITH THE CITY. TWO AND TWO. SO YOU GET A NICE OPEN SPACE TO SEE THE BUILDING. THERE YOU GO.

OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I JUST HAVE A COMMENT. I KNOW THAT WE AS A CITY APPROVE DIFFERENT PLANNING AND LANDS AND DEVELOPMENTS. WE'RE JUST REALLY TRYING TO MAKE THE ENTRANCE TO GROVE CITY OFF OF 71 ONTO STRINGTOWN ROAD WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT COME IN MORE, MORE BEAUTIFICATION, RIGHT? MORE TREE CANOPY, MORE GREEN, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST ALL CONCRETE. OKAY. SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE ADD THAT BEAUTIFICATION WITH NICE GREEN LANDSCAPING. SO I AGREE, MY COMMENT FROM FROM STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE THIS IS A CODE REQUIREMENT. SO WE WANT TO UPHOLD THE CODE REQUIREMENT. WE APPRECIATE WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS LOOKING TO DO IN TERMS OF REALLY BEAUTIFYING AND REDOING THIS AREA. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE TREES ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF SPRINGTOWN ROAD WILL BE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE ON PARKWAY CENTER. THERE'S TREES ALONG THE STREET. YOU CAN STILL IT'S STILL A VERY ATTRACTIVE AREA TO DO BUSINESS. SO WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T SEE THERE WAS A A WARRANT TO TO GO AWAY FROM THOSE THOSE ADDITIONAL STREET TREES. OKAY. MR. HOLT. KYLE.

HISTORIC QUESTION. SO ON ONE OF THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENTS, WE HAD A BIG DISCUSSION ABOUT BRINGING THE FRONT ENTRANCE INTO LANDSCAPING CODE, AND WE GAVE THEM A BUNCH OF INFORMATION. IS THAT SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE? WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THEM MEET CODE THE BEST WE CAN. WE CAN'T MOVE THE BUILDING. SO THEY'RE STILL SET BACK ISSUES. BUT BEING A REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, THEY'RE ALWAYS MORE CHALLENGING. IS IT SIMILAR TO WHAT WE REQUESTED FROM THE DISPENSARY OR DIFFERENT THAT I WOULD NEED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT CASE FILE, I DON'T KNOW, OFF TOP OF MY HEAD. BUT AGAIN, ANYTIME THERE'S A CHANGE OF USE, THERE'S A CODE SECTION WHICH THIS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THAT. I'M ASSUMING THAT THEY WOULD.

THEY DID THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO COMPLY WITH THIS AS WELL. THIS IS NOT STAFFED KIND OF DICTATING MAKING THE SITE LOOK BETTER. WE'RE TRYING TO FOLLOW WHAT'S IN CHAPTER 1136 ALREADY.

ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS THIS PROPERTY TAX ABATED? THIS PROPERTY IS TAX ABATED. AND THAT TAX ABATEMENT FOLLOWS THE NEW OWNER. YES, IT WOULD BE FOR IMPROVEMENTS. THEY WOULD GET TEN YEARS, 100% TAX ABATEMENT IF THEY FILE AN APPLICATION WITH THE CITY ON REAL PROPERTY, ON REAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS THAT EFFECTUATE THE TAX VALUE OF THE STRUCTURE. MR. MAYOR, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? YES, IT'S A IT'S AN AREA THAT IS, AS WE'VE ALREADY DETERMINED, NOT AS ENHANCED AS IT COULD BE AND SHOULD BE. AND THIS GIVES US THAT OPPORTUNITY, WHICH IS THE REASON WE HAVE ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAVE THE CRA. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. MR. LANG, IF I COULD. THE DUMPSTER BEHIND RALLIES. TELL ME ABOUT THE

[00:40:08]

ENCLOSURE. YES. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A DEVIATION FROM THE SCREENING OF THE DUMPSTER. SO IT WILL BE SCREENED ON ALL THREE SIDES WITH THE GATES IN THE FRONT. SO THAT COULD BE BY LANDSCAPING OR FENCING. IS IT A STOCKADE FENCE ENCLOSURE OR IS IT A BRICK? LET'S SEE IF MY SITE PLAN HAS A DETAIL ON THAT, BECAUSE THE. I DON'T HAVE THE DETAIL IN FRONT OF ME, IT WOULD BE ON THE SITE PLAN IF WE HAD IT, BUT WE WILL COMPLY WITH CODE. YEAH, WELL WE MIGHT WANT TO RATCHET UP A LITTLE BIT. KYLE ON ON THE CODE SIDE AND WE PUT THE STONE PILLAR. YEAH, WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT AGAIN. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO APPLY THE CODE REQUIREMENTS. UNDERSTAND? DUMPSTERS ARE PRETTY PRETTY TREES. YEAH. YES, SIR. JUST A POINT. IN TERMS OF THE TAX ABATEMENT, THE ABATEMENT IS ONLY FOR THE IMPROVEMENT VALUE THAT THIS FACILITY WOULD BRING.

THEY HAVE THEIR BASE TAX RATE. THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD BE ABATED IS WHAT THE AUDITOR SAYS.

THE INCREASE IN VALUE, NOT THE WHOLE PROPERTY. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. ONE OTHER THING I MIGHT POINT OUT. THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE SIGN, CORRECT? YES. WE'RE REMOVING THE SECOND SIGN AND WE'RE WE'RE JUST USING ONE MONUMENT SIGN. SO FROM THE BEAUTIFICATION PIECE WE GET RID OF THAT ONE SIGN THERE BY RALLY. SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS. THIS RESOLUTION HAS HAD ITS READING AND PUBLIC HEARING. I MOVE THAT IT BE APPROVED. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? YES. BARROS. YES. OMAR? NO. ANDERSON. YES. YES. BERRY.

YES. HOLT. YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. YOU DIDN'T DO IT. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO

[Resolution CR-07-26 Approve the Development Plan for Green Oaks of Grove City located at 4745 Big Run Road. ]

THROUGH THAT AGAIN. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS RESOLUTION. RESOLUTION CR 0726. A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR GREEN OAKS OF GROVE CITY, LOCATED AT 4745 BIG RUN ROAD. APPLICANT. WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT, PLEASE? HELLO. NICE TO TALK TO YOU ALL AGAIN. MY NAME IS JARED EISENTHAL, VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT AT EVERGREEN REAL ESTATE GROUP FIVE, 66 WEST LAKE STREET, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REITERATE THE COLLABORATION. OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE'VE HAD WITH STAFF, WITH PLANNING COMMISSION AND AT COUNCIL LAST YEAR, HAPPY TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE. FOR THOSE THAT WEREN'T BACK AT THOSE PRELIMINARY MEETINGS, OHIO SENIORS ARE THE FASTEST GROWING AND MOST UNDERSERVED POPULATION IN THE STATE. BY 2030, THERE WILL BE MORE OHIO SENIORS THAN ANY OTHER POPULATION. ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE CARE OPTIONS IS NOT ONLY IMPORTANT, BUT PROVIDES AN ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DO AS DEVELOPERS IN PROFILING A SITE IS LOOK AT MARKET STUDIES AND INDICATE IF THERE IS IF THERE IS NEED, IF THERE IS AMPLE NEED, OR WHAT SORT OF COMPETITION IS OUT THERE. IN 2025, WE PERFORMED A PROFESSIONAL MARKET STUDY THAT LOOKED AT THE ASHFORD GROVE CITY, THAT LOOKED AT OTHER OPTIONS WITHIN THE TEN MILE RADIUS. IT WAS SEEN THAT THERE WAS AMPLE DEMAND FOR MORE SENIOR HOUSING, SENIORS WHO NEED ACCESS TO ACTIVITIES DAILY. LIVING IN THIS CORRIDOR, THE CAPTURE AND PENETRATION RATES OF THESE MARKET STUDIES WERE UNDER 10%. THRESHOLD WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IS UNDER 20%. FOR THIS TO BE A SUPPORTED PROPERTY, THAT MEANS THAT WE, IF WE NEEDED TO, IF WE WOULD LIKE TO, THE MARKET CAN SUPPORT DOUBLE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. WE HAD MORE UNITS ON THE ON THE SITE. WE SCALED THAT BACK FROM A FOUR STORY BUILDING TO A THREE STORY BUILDING, NOT ONLY TO MEET THE ACCOMMODATIONS OF THE STAFF, BUT TO THOUGHTFULLY DESIGN THE PROPERTY ITSELF. I MENTIONED THAT THE SITE ITSELF, IT SITS IN A TRANSITIONAL CORRIDOR OF TOWN. ACROSS THE STREET IS A CHURCH. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET IS A SCHOOL, AND THEN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF STREET IS MULTIFAMILY HOUSING.

WE BELIEVE THIS IS A STRONG FIT FOR MORE SENIOR HOUSING THIS SITE, AS FAR AS PARKING AND TRAFFIC, WE HAVE OVER A DOZEN PROPERTIES THAT HAVE UNDER A 50% PARKING RATIO. THIS WORKS VERY WELL AT THESE COMMUNITIES. LESS THAN 10% OF THE SENIORS WHO NEED THIS ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING SUPPORT DRIVE. IT'S THE NUMBER ONE REASON SENIORS MOVE INTO MORE MOVE INTO ASSISTED LIVING. AND AS FAR AS STAFFING, THERE'S NO MORE THAN 25 STAFF MEMBERS ON PROPERTY AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME. THIS IS THE MAJORITY OF THE PARKING NEED, WITH THE CAVEAT THAT MOTHER'S DAY AND CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING, WE NEED PARKING FOR FAMILY MEMBERS.

[00:45:04]

AS FAR AS TRAFFIC, VERY LOW INTENSITY TRAFFIC WITH STAFF BEING THE MAIN IN AND OUTS AND THE AM, THE PEAK TRAFFIC IS NO MORE THAN 30 TRIPS IN THE PM. IT'S NO MORE THAN 40 TRIPS OVER THE COURSE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WE'VE RECEIVED NO NEIGHBOR PUSHBACK. WE'VE SENT OUTREACH TO NEIGHBORS OVER FOUR TIMES THROUGHOUT EACH OF EACH ONE OF THESE STEPS, AND I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE PUD TEXT THAT WE WROTE ALONGSIDE STAFF REQUIRES SENIOR HOUSING 55 PLUS THAT REQUIRE ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING SUPPORT. THAT IS THE ONLY PUD THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED AT THIS PROPERTY. IF WE OR ANY FUTURE DEVELOPMENT NEEDS COME UP, WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK FOR FOR SECOND READING OR FOR REQUEST FOR THAT. FINALLY, I WANT TO ADD THAT WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING AT GROVE CITY IN COLLABORATION WITH THE STAFF, WITH THE MAYOR, WITH WITH EVERYONE HERE, WE REALLY LOOK CLOSELY AT THE GROVE CITY 2050 PLAN. WE THOUGHT THAT WE FIT REALLY WELL INTO THAT FIRST SMALL TOWN CHARACTER AND CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WE WILL BRING OVER 50 JOBS. SECOND QUALITY DESIGN. WE'VE INCREASED THE BRICK ON THE BUILDING, FIBER CEMENT, THOUGHTFUL LANDSCAPING. WE'RE HAPPY TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT TODAY. THIRD CONNECTIVITY. SO INCREASING THE MULTI USE PATH FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALL THE WAY UP AROUND TO THE SCHOOL. WE THINK IT WILL BE A VALUE ADD FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN THE IN THE AREA. AND THEN FOURTH NET FISCAL NET FISCAL GAIN THERE WILL BE OVER $2.7 MILLION OF ANNUAL WAGES AT THIS PROPERTY, WITH LOCAL EMPLOYMENT THAT ROLLING BACK INTO INTO GROVE CITY. THAT IS ALL FOR NOW. I HAVE A QUESTION AS FAR AS THE COST FOR THE RESIDENTS, WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOUR PROPERTY HERE WILL BE MID RANGE HIGHER THAN MID? LOWER THAN MID RANGE? YEAH, IT'LL BE THREE STORIES. BUT WE'VE DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB WITH AMPLE BUFFER AND LANDSCAPING. OKAY, I DO HAVE MY ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER HERE TO ANSWER ANY MORE DETAILED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUILDING HEIGHT, ABOUT THE LANDSCAPING DESIGN, IF YOU'D LIKE THEM TO COME. HOW ABOUT A COST TO THE RESIDENT? HAVE YOU DONE A MARKET SURVEY ON THAT AND WILL YOU BE IN THE MIDDLE UPPER END. YEAH, SURE. SO THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO GREEN OAKS WILL PROVIDE ACCESS TO ASSISTED LIVING FOR RESIDENTS OF ALL INCOME LEVELS. SO IF YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY PRIVATE PAY THAT'S THE RATE THAT IT WILL BE MARKET PRIVATE PAY IN THE AREA IS ABOUT $6,000 A MONTH. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT, IF YOUR FAMILIES CAN'T SUPPORT THAT. OHIO GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN 2024 PASSED A INCREASE TO THE ASSISTED LIVING MEDICAID MEDICAID WAIVER RATE TO THE POINT IN WHICH IF A RESIDENT CANNOT PAY AND THEY APPLY TO MEDICAID, MEDICAID WILL COVER THE SERVICES PORTION OF OF THAT LEASE. THEY STILL NEED TO PAY THE ROOM AND BOARD OR ROOM AND BOARD IS TYPICALLY SET AT WHAT A TYPICAL SSI IS. SO A SENIOR WHO'S RECEIVING SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK THAT WOULD OFFSET THAT AMOUNT. WE'RE PROUD TO BE ONE ONOF THE FIRST PURPOSE BUILT AFFORDABLE ASSISTED LIVING PROPERTIES IN THE STATE. THANK YOU. YES, SIR. SO PEOPLE HERE UNDERSTAND THAT I UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE I MY MOM'S 92 AND I GET IT, BUT CAN YOU YOU SAID THAT THE SSI RATE EXPLAIN THAT DELVE INTO THAT JUST FOR JUST FOR A MINUTE TO EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WHAT THAT MEANS. YES.

SUPPLEMENTARY SECURITY INCOME. AND IT'S AVAILABLE TO SENIORS WHO MAY NOT HAVE PENSIONS OR HAVE EXTRA MONEY AS THEY'VE GONE THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREER. IT'S IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT A RESIDENT WILL HAVE A ROOM AND BOARD LEASE AND A SERVICES LEASE. SO THE SSI RATE IS IN LINE WITH WHAT THE ROOM AND BOARD WOULD BE. THAT TYPICALLY WOULD BE OFFSET THE SERVICES LEASE, WHICH INCLUDES MEALS AND ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING SUPPORT, WOULD BE SET AT MORE OF A MARKET RATE RATE. IF RESIDENTS CAN'T AFFORD THAT, IF THEY'VE EXHAUSTED THEIR ASSETS AND THEIR FAMILY OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM, WE WILL HELP THEM APPLY TO THE MEDICAID WAIVER IN WHICH THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR AS A SENIOR WITH INCOME UNDER A CERTAIN AREA MEDIAN INCOME, AND THAT WOULD BE THE SOURCE OF INCOME TO THE PROPERTY. OKAY.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS. SORRY. YOU MIGHT NEED TO RESTATE THAT. SO MY QUESTION IS MORE BASED ON TO HELP UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. SAY IT'S A COUPLE. AND SO THERE. AND ONLY ONE NEEDS THIS SUPPORT AND THIS LIVING CENTER. BUT THEY CLEARLY HAVEN'T EXHAUSTED THEIR RESOURCE BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WILL CONTINUE IN THE HOME SPACE WHEREVER THEY ARE. HOW IS THEY CAN'T EXHAUST THEIR THEY CAN'T EXHAUST THEIR ASSETS FOR THE ONE TO GO IN. IS THERE A PIECE OF THAT SSI OR A PIECE FOR THE SERVICES LEASE THAT WOULD HELP WITH THAT RESIDENT? IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY, MARRIED COUPLE, MARRIED COUPLE? NO. YOU KNOW,

[00:50:04]

THE WAY OHIO LEGISLATURE HAS IT WRITTEN, IF THE FAMILY HAS ASSETS, THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE MEDICAID WAIVER. OKAY. WHEN THOSE ASSETS ARE EXHAUSTED, THAT RESIDENT CAN AGE IN PLACE UNDER MEDICAID. OKAY. SO THEY WOULDN'T BE A CANDIDATE NECESSARILY FOR THIS FACILITY.

THEY ABSOLUTELY WOULD. THEY COULD THEY COULD COME IN AND THEY COULD PRIVATE PAY. YEAH.

PRIVATE PAY. YEAH. AND CORRECT. OKAY. SO MISSY, WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WHAT. AND THIS IS OUTSIDE OF WHAT THIS COUNCIL CAN DO. IT'S REALLY A TRAVESTY, THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TWO PEOPLE AND THIS IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM. I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE A STATEMENT, AS MISSY DID SOMETHING ELSE, THAT YOU HAVE A COUPLE. ONE OF THEM NEEDS HELP AND EVERYTHING, BUT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET HELP, THE OTHER PERSON HAS TO LOSE THEIR HOME. AND. AND IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, YOU KNOW? BUT THAT'S HOW THAT'S SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT THAT A LOT OF SENIORS ARE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW. AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT YOUR ISSUE. HAPPY TO OPINE. YOU KNOW, I'M A BIG ADVOCATE OF THE OHIO MEDICAID PROGRAM. THERE ARE OTHER HOME HEALTH OPTIONS FOR THAT SENIOR THAT ARE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN MOVING INTO A NURSING HOME. SORRY, THAN MOVING INTO AN ASSISTED LIVING PROPERTY. THE MOST EXPENSIVE OPTION IS MOVING INTO A NURSING HOME. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL TRYING TO AVOID. THAT'S INSTITUTIONAL AND THE COST OF CARE FOR THE SENIORS AND FOR THE STATE DON'T ALWAYS ADD UP TO WHAT THE SENIORS NEED. YEAH.

AND THANK YOU. I MEAN, I KNOW YOU WERE TRYING TO HELP CLARIFY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE SSI AND YOU HAD MENTIONED PURPOSE DRIVEN BUILT. SO I JUST WANTED TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. ROUSH, BUT I CAN WAIT IF OTHERS WANT TO. OKAY. WANT TO COME UP KYLE OR. I'M. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A QUESTION OR IF IT'S JUST KIND OF A STATEMENT ALSO AND KIND OF CONTINUING ON WHAT MR. OMAR SAID, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE DON'T REALLY HAVE CONCRETE INFORMATION TO SAY ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING. IT WOULD ALMOST BE NICE AT THIS POINT AS WE'VE CONTINUED TO HAVE SO MUCH DEVELOPMENT. AND I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN PAST MEETINGS OF TRULY, WHAT ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING THAT WE HAVE IN, IN OUR COMMUNITY. I, I CAN AGREE THAT LOTS OF HOUSING TYPES ARE NEEDED. I THINK THAT WE KNOW THAT THAT IS A LONG STANDING QUESTION. I CAN AGREE THAT OHIO SENIORS ARE THE FASTEST GROWING.

I DO SHARE THOUGHTS ABOUT ARE WE GETTING SATURATED IN ONE AREA OF HOUSING VERSUS OTHER AREAS? ARE WE DIVERSIFYING OUR HOUSING OFFERINGS ENOUGH? AND I KNOW WE CAN'T ANSWER THAT, IT SOUNDS LIKE RIGHT NOW, BUT I DEFINITELY THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT AS THESE PROJECTS CONTINUE TO COME IN AND REALLY WANTING TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING. THIS ONE, FOR INSTANCE, DOESN'T TAX THE SCHOOL SYSTEM PER. I DON'T MEAN TAX LITERALLY DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, IMPLICATE BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. THERE'S CHILDREN MOVING IN AS IF IT WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD.

I UNDERSTAND THAT'S ONE BENEFIT, BUT I JUST REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND ALL THE HOUSING TYPES THAT WE ARE BRINGING INTO OUR COMMUNITY AND HOW WE ARE SEEING OUR COMMUNITY GROW AND WHAT THAT GROWTH IS GOING TO BE. YEAH, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT STATEMENT. STAFF OR WE PUT IN THE BUDGET FOR 26 HOUSING STUDY. SO WE HAVE MONEY TO TO DO THAT STUDY. IT'S JUST MORE OF DO WE HAVE TIME AS STAFF TO MANAGE A CONSULTANT TO COME IN HERE AND FULFILL THAT WITHIN 2026? OKAY. SO WE ARE AWARE AWARE WE WE FACE THESE QUESTIONS EVERY DAY. SO IT'S WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR BEST. LIKE I SAID, WE WE HAVE AN INVENTORY. WE'VE DONE A NUMBER OF ANALYSIS OVER THE YEARS. BUT THOSE ANALYSIS ARE REALLY A SNAPSHOT AT THAT POINT IN TIME. SO WE WERE LOOKING TO UNDERTAKE A MORE COMPLEX AND COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING STUDY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT AS MUCH AS I WANT TO PUSH THAT ON THIS MATTER, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE DEVELOPERS. YEP. IF I COULD, THOUGH, YOU HAVE A QUESTION TO ELABORATE ON WHAT KYLE SAID. WE JUST PRESENTED COUNCIL WITH THE MIX OF HOUSING, MULTIFAMILY CONDOS AND ASSISTED LIVING. I MEAN, WE SHARED THAT WITH THEM. WE HAVE THAT ANALYSIS. WE I STILL THINK WE NEED TO SHARE THAT. I UNDERSTAND, BUT WE WE'VE DONE WHAT I CONSIDER PRETTY THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF WHAT OUR INVENTORY IS OF THOSE PARTICULAR CATEGORIES, SENIOR LIVING. THOSE ARE SECTION EIGHT.

AND WE HAVE IT'S JUST WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE TRENDS FROM THE REST OF THE REGION OR THAT STUFF. SO WE HAVE TO BUILD THAT ANALYSIS INTO THE TO THE LARGER COMPREHENSIVE. BUT WE DO HAVE SNAPSHOT TODAY. WE HAVE THAT. AND I DON'T HAVE THAT WITH ME RIGHT NOW. AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE SEEN IT OR WELL I DON'T YEAH I THINK WE OWE COUNCIL A PRESENTATION UPDATE

[00:55:02]

OF 2050. AND WITH THAT CAME THE PRESENTATION. OR IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THE PRESENTATION ON THE HOUSING ANALYSIS AS WELL. OKAY. BUT WE DO HAVE IT. YES. THANK YOU. MR. YES, SIR. SO LANDSCAPE PERSON LET'S TALK TREES. COME ON UP. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE A LANDSCAPE PLAN THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO TAMMY? I WOULD SAY I BELIEVE THAT ALL THE PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ULTIMATELY TO THE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND SHOULD ULTIMATELY HAVE ALSO GONE TO EVERYBODY ELSE AS WELL. IT WAS PART OF YOUR PACKAGE, SIR. AND AND THIS SHEET DOES REFLECT ALL THE LANDSCAPING. I KNOW IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT SHRUBS AND TREES ALL ALONG THE MR. THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT. WHAT IS THAT? BIG RUN AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT BIG RUN THERE, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.

I MEAN, I DON'T SEE MANY TREES ALONG THE ALONG THE ROADWAY. WE'VE GOT A BIKE PATH THAT'S GOING DOWN THROUGH THERE. WE'VE GOT A BIKE PATH THAT RUNS THROUGH THE FRONT. AGAIN. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT, I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CANOPY THERE AT ALL. AND THE GOAL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE GOAL SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN 20 YEARS THE BUILDING SHOULD HAVE SHADED LAND AND EVERYTHING, AND YOU HAVE NOTHING ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, LITERALLY. THAT EXCUSE ME, THE PARTICULAR PLAN THAT'S UP ON THE SCREEN DOES NOT DEPICT THE FULL BREADTH OF THE LANDSCAPING. THAT IN YOUR HAND. YES, I DO ACTUALLY. DID YOU SHARE THAT? YES, SIR. GET YOU TO THE RIGHT SHEET. SHEET. OKAY. YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE DAIS THERE IF YOU WOULD. I'LL OR THE. HANG ON. OKAY. MR. CHAIRMAN. YES. SO JUST AS I THOUGHT, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT DRIVEWAY AND I REALIZE THAT'S AN EMERGENCY DRIVEWAY AND EVERYTHING FOR FIRE STATIONS. YES. YEAH. THERE'S NOTHING LITERALLY IN THAT SPACE TO THE TO THE RIGHT OF THE DRIVEWAY. YEAH. CURRENTLY TO THE NORTH OF WHERE THE HAMMERHEAD TURNAROUND IS. OR AND THEN ALSO TO THE NORTH OF WHERE THE ACTUAL ACCESS ROAD GOES AROUND. YEAH. IN TERMS OF TREES, OUR TREES ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED TO THE SOUTH AND IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING, THOUGH.

I'M JUST. YEAH, BUT WHAT I'M ASKING YOU IS THERE'S NOTHING IN THAT AREA. SO ARE WE GOING TO PUT TREES IN IF IT'S A REQUEST THAT THAT, YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY IS MADE, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TO ADD. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS STIPULATED BY THE PLANNING COMMITTEE OR THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS. BUT IF THIS SEEMS TO BE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL IS AGAIN, LOOKING FOR THAT PARTICULAR ROAD TO ADD SOME SORT OF CANOPY, THEN WE CAN LOOK INTO IT WITH OUR PARTICULAR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.

IT'S PART OF THE VISUAL ARCHITECTURE NOW. YEAH. JUST JUST SO FORMER TREES. YEAH. WE COULD YEAH. WE WOULDN'T, WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO A FOREST OR ANYTHING. BUT IF YOU LOOK IN THE ON THE I'LL SAY THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PLAN, WHICH IS TO THE NORTHEAST, THERE'S EXISTING TREES, A WOODED AREA THAT'S THERE TO REMAIN. A LITTLE BIT OF THAT GETS CUT OUT BY THE HAMMERHEAD TURNAROUND IN THE EMERGENCY ACCESS ROAD, BUT IT'S IT'S NOT TOTALLY EMPTY IN THAT CORNER OF THE SITE. JUST FOR REFERENCE, IT'S. GOOD. GO AHEAD. SORRY, IT WAS ON THE PREVIOUS PLAN. THAT WAS JUST UP. OOPS. SORRY. YES. WHAT HE'S REFERRING TO IS IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THIS PLAN. THAT'S ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW, RIGHT OPPOSITE THAT PERSON'S POOL. THAT'S EXISTING LANDSCAPING THAT WOULD REMAIN, BUT I SEE NO ISSUE IN TERMS OF ADDING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ALONG KIND OF WHERE THAT GREEN LINE IS, THE BOTTOM PART, BOTTOM HALF OF THAT GREEN LINE FROM WHERE THE EMERGENCY ACCESS POINT IS DOWN. YOU KNOW, WE CAN WE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING IN THERE TO PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, SCREENING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD DESIRE. YEAH. CURRENTLY THERE'S ONLY LIMITED UTILITIES THAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO GO THROUGH THAT AREA. THERE'S A STORM LINE THAT IS ON THAT SITE THAT WILL BE CROSSING UNDERNEATH THE ACCESS ROAD AND THEN GOING UP TO THE BASE, AND ONE GOING BACK. THERE'S COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRIC, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE PREVENTATIVE OF US BEING ABLE TO ADD ADDITIONAL TREES. MR. CHAIRMAN, THE MY ISSUE IS NOT NECESSARILY WITH LANDSCAPING. MY ISSUE IS JUST SIMPLY WITH TREES IN GENERAL. SO, YOU KNOW, IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MISS KELLY, WHAT'S THE

[01:00:06]

BEST ROUTE TO GO ON THIS? DO THEY AGREE TO THE NUMBER OF TREES? DO WE ALLOW THE CITY URBAN FORESTER TO TELL THEM HOW MANY MORE TREES THEY NEED FOR THAT AREA? WHAT IS YOUR SUGGESTION? WELL, IF I GUESS YOU NEED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT UNDER SECTION ONE OF CR 726 TO ADD A STIPULATION FOR WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU'RE ASKING. SIR, WE COULD DO IS ADD A STIPULATION THAT THE URBAN FORESTER RECOMMEND ADDITIONAL TREES IN THAT AREA, IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, KIND OF OPACITY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'M LOOKING FOR TWO INCH CALIPER. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR LANDSCAPING. I'M LOOKING FOR TWO INCH CALIPER TREES THAT CREATE A CANOPY. OKAY. IS THERE A IS A NUMBER THAT YOU HAVE IN MIND? I'M THINKING FIVE, BUT I MEAN WE'RE AGREEABLE TO THAT. DECIDUOUS TREES. YES. YEAH DEFINITELY TREES THAT SOAK IN OXYGEN OKAY. YES. WE'LL NEED TO ADD THEM ON ACCIDENT. I'M SORRY. OKAY. WE'LL LET US. LET'S SEE.

WE'LL NEED TO HAVE A STIPULATION TO CR 727 TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL FIVE TREES FIVE OF TWO INCH CALIPER, TWO INCH CALIPER. DO WE NEED TO VOTE SEPARATELY ON THAT, MR. SMITH? YES. YOU NEED A YOU NEED A MOTION TO AMEND SECTION ONE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL STIPULATION THAT FIVE TWO INCH CALIPER DECIDUOUS TREES ALONG THE BIG RUN ROAD SIDE SHALL BE ADDED TO THE PLAN. SO I MAKE THAT MOTION MOVED. HERE WE GO. WE HAVE A SECOND. SECOND. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? STEPHEN? SO MR. BARRY MAKES THE MOTION AND MR. HOLT SECONDS THAT MOTION.

CORRECT. BURROWS? YES. OMAR. YES. ANDERSON. YES. YES. BARRY. YES, YES. STURM. ONE FINAL COMMENT. MR. YES. I, I WENT DOOR TO DOOR FOR ALL THESE HOUSES THROUGH HERE AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. SO I WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR, YOU KNOW, LISTENING TO WHAT THE RESIDENTS WANTED, LISTENING TO THE AMOUNT OF TREES. YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB WITH THE TREES SURROUNDING THE SOUTHERN BORDER AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. YOU DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE PATH CONNECTIVITY, GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF THAT, OUT OF THAT DEAD END STREET AND AROUND TO THE FRONT AND OVER TO THE SCHOOLS. I APPRECIATE THAT. SO I DO APPRECIATE YOU LISTENING TO THE RESIDENTS AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE TO THIS POINT. THANK YOU.

YES, SIR. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR KYLE. I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE PROBABLY FINE. ARE THERE ANY OUTSIDE STAIRS, EXPOSED STAIRWAYS IN THIS BUILDING? NO, THERE ARE NOT ALL.

WELL, ALL STAIRWELLS ARE INTERIOR TO THE BUILDING. AND WHAT ABOUT HVAC PER ROOM? IS THERE AN HVAC VENT OR AN HVAC UNIT HANGING OUT EACH SIDE, EACH WINDOW NOT HANGING OUT, BUT IN THE RESIDENT UNITS THERE, EACH ONE HAS THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL HEATING AND COOLING VENTILATION, WHICH DOES HAVE AN EXTERIOR GRILL THERE, DEPICTED ON THE ELEVATIONS THAT WERE REVIEWED BY STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION. THEY ARE. METAL GRILLS THAT WILL BE PAINTED TO MATCH THE ADJACENT SIDING OR BRICK MASONRY COLOR, WHICHEVER FIELD THEY MAY FALL IN. WE'VE ALSO DONE A NUMBER OF THINGS WITH THE BAYS OF THE BUILDING TO TRY TO, I GUESS, MINIMIZE THEIR, YOU KNOW, PUT THEM IN THE SIDE OF A BAY, LET'S SAY, OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO HELP, YOU KNOW, MITIGATE ANY, YOU KNOW, SIDE OF THEM. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MISS BURROWS? JUST ONE COMMENT. I HEARD TWO DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS. I HEARD 55 AND I HEARD 65. YEAH. 55 PLUS IS THE OHIO STATUTE FOR MEDICAID. OKAY. SO THAT'S WHAT'S LEFT IS AND THAT'S SO THIS FACILITY OR HOUSING. YEAH. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.

IT'S GOING TO BE FOR 55 AND UP. YES. OUR AVERAGE AGE GROUP, OUR AVERAGE AGE IS 84 YEARS OLD.

YEAH OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. YES. ONE MORE. SORRY. BUT JUST TO ADD ON TO THAT, IT WAS IS IT RESTRICTED OR IS IT I FORGET THE OTHER WORD DIRECTED OR WHATEVER WITHIN WELL WITHIN THE PUD WE'RE RESTRICTING OURSELVES, BUT IT'S ALSO RESTRICTED TO ACCEPT FUNDS AND PUT INTO THE DETAIL. THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF AGING, THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DON'T

[01:05:01]

ALLOW RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITY LICENSED OR ASSISTED LIVING LICENSE TO SERVE RESIDENTS UNDER THAT AGE GROUP. OKAY, GREAT. OKAY. ANY OTHER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. SO. OH, I'M SORRY, DID YOU SAY THAT THE AGE WAS 55? CORRECT. UNDER THE ZONING, IF YOU LOOK AT THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS UNDER PERMITTED USES, IT STATES FOR PERSONS 65 AND OLDER, I APOLOGIZE. I THINK THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ALLOWS 55 FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT UNDER 65. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD. COACH CHUCK OKAY. OKAY. THERE ARE NO FURTHER COMMENTS. THIS RESOLUTION HAS ITS SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING.

THERE WAS ALSO A STIPULATION ADDED TO THAT FOR THE FIVE TREES WITH TWO INCH CALIPERS.

AND I APPROVE THAT AND I MOVE THAT IT BE APPROVED. DO I HAVE A SECOND SECOND? OMAR. NO.

ANDERSON. YES. KALINGA. YES. BARRY. YES. HOLT. YES. STURM. YES. BURROWS. YES. OKAY. MR.

[Ordinance C-09-26 Authorize the City Administrator to enter Into an Agreement with Govwell Technologies INC. Second reading and public hearing. ]

PRESIDENT, THAT IS ALL I HAVE UNDER LANDS THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN, FOR THE PURPOSES OF FINANCE, CHAIRMAN STURM. THANK YOU. YES, THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. SO FIRST WE HAVE ORDINANCE C09 26. THIS ORDINANCE IS TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH LOVEWELL TECHNOLOGIES AND. REBECCA. AND WE HAVE MR. HURLEY TO JUST GIVE US A COUPLE BULLET POINTS ON WHAT THIS IS JUST A COUPLE OF BULLET POINTS. JUST A COUPLE.

OKAY. THE BUILDING DIVISION HAS BEEN IN IN THE THE THE PROCESS OF EVALUATING NEW, NEW SYSTEMS TO BECOME MORE TAKE, I GUESS, TAKE MORE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES THAT HAVE OCCURRED. THEY'VE DONE SO OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THIS ORDINANCE IS A RESULT OF THAT THAT SEARCH AND THAT EFFORT AND THE DUE DILIGENCE BY THE BUILDING DIVISION.

NATURALLY, WHEN WE'RE REPLACING A SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE ON ON PREMISE, THAT'S ONE OF MY INVOLVEMENT COMES IN. AND SO I KIND OF HAVE ONE HAND OF THIS. THE BUILDING DIVISION HAS THE OTHER. OTHER THAN THAT, THIS IS A THREE YEAR AGREEMENT. THAT'S WHY IT'S COMING TO COUNCIL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE. WAS THERE ANYBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS? NO. NO. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD A SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AND I MOVE THAT IT BE APPROVED.

SECOND. ANDERSON. YES, BARRY. YES, YES YES YES, YES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I WANT IT TO BE NOTED THAT I'M UNDER MY TIME LIMIT HERE. YES. THAT'S A FIRST, TODD. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN THE

[Ordinance C-10-26 Appropriate $75,000.00 from the General Fund for the Current Expense of the CARES Healthcare Reimbursement Pilot Program. First reading. ]

LAST ONE IS ORDINANCE C 1026. THIS IS TO APPROPRIATE 75,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND FOR CURRENT EXPENSE OF CARE OF THE CARES HEALTH CARE REIMBURSEMENT PILOT PROGRAM. THIS ORDINANCE HAS HAD ITS FIRST READING. SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD ON 316.

[Call for New Business ]

MR. PRESIDENT. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SIGNED UP UNDER NEW BUSINESS TONIGHT.

WE HAVE GARY LYNN IS I THINK IT'S GARY. HE'S GETTING WATER. WELL WE'LL MOVE ON TO CAIRO PAUL. UNTIL UNTIL AND AND TAKE GARY NEXT CAIRO AND YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS WHEN YOU GET TO THE PODIUM. CAIRO PAUL AND I WILL NOT BE STATING MY ADDRESS AS I RECEIVED THREATS OF VIOLENCE THE LAST TIME I WAS UP HERE AND SPOKE PUBLICLY, SOMEONE SAID I SHOULD BE SHOT WITH A STUN GUN TWICE AND I HAD TO FILE A POLICE REPORT, SO I WILL NOT BE STATING MY ADDRESS. FOR THE RECORD, THE THE PINNACLE TIF EXPANSION EXPANSION THAT THE CITY VOTED TO EXPAND FOR 20 ISH YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE. WHILE IT DOES HELP FUND A COMMUNITY CENTER, IT'S ALSO WITHHOLDING FUNDS FROM SOUTHWESTERN CITY SCHOOLS. AND THEN YOU'RE ALSO DISCUSSING PUTTING AN INCOME TAX INCREASE ON THE BALLOT AT A SIMILAR TIME THAT THE DISTRICT IS PUTTING A BOND ISSUE. AND MISTER SIR, I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK IT'S A REAL LONG SHOT THAT THIS WILL PASS. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE REC CENTER IS, OR THAT THE TAX INCREASE WOULD BE MORE THAN JUST FOR THE REC CENTER. IT'S FOR EVERYTHING OUR CITY DOES. BUT I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS COUNCIL TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT OUR STATE HAS GUTTED OUR FUNDING FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUR DISTRICT SOON, ON TOP OF PUTTING A BOND ISSUE UP TO REBUILD TWO HIGH SCHOOLS,

[01:10:06]

THEY'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING A LEVY FOR OPERATING NOT TOO LONG AFTER THAT, BECAUSE OUR DISTRICT IS OPERATING IN A DEFICIT AS IS, AND WILL BE NEGATIVE SPENDING WITHIN TWO YEARS. SO I REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING AN INCOME TAX LEVY ON OUR BALLOT. ALSO, THE COMMUNITY REC CENTER DOES NOT NEED TO BE A SPORTS COMPLEX. SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT SIZES, I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT PRAIRIE TOWNSHIPS. THERE'S IS WONDERFUL, BUT IT IS TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SITES. I ALSO THINK THAT HAVING A SHINY, BRAND NEW COMMUNITY CENTER IN PINNACLE AND THEN HAVING BROKEN DOWN BROOK PARK AS A SEPARATE SITE FEELS REALLY WRONG. IT SEEMS THAT, HEY PINNACLE, WE'VE EXPANDED YOUR TIFF, YOUR OUR HIGHEST SOCIO ECONOMIC WARD.

YOU GET THIS, BUT SORRY, WARD FIVE, YOU'RE OUR LOWEST AND WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. SO THIS IS WHAT YOU GET. I JUST DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. AND I ALSO DON'T THINK SPENDING 6 OR $8 MILLION FOR A BLUEPRINT ON A SITE THAT NOT EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, HAVE AGREED ON. YOU'VE SENT SURVEYS OUT, BUT WE HAVEN'T SENT SURVEYS TO RESIDENTS ABOUT WHERE EXACTLY THEY WOULD LIKE THIS. AND IF YOU HAVE, IT HASN'T BEEN DONE WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. AND ALSO PASSING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A DISPENSARY. WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO APPROVE ONE, BUT WE'VE HAD SEVERAL COME IN AND THEY SHOW THAT THERE'S A DEMAND, BUT WE FIND A REASON TO NOT APPROVE IT. BUT WE CAN KEEP IMPROVING, APPROVING SENIOR CITIZENS HOMES THAT ARE FLAT TAX RATE AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE. SO THAT'S ALL MR. BOZO, UNDER YOUR NEW UNDER YOUR COMMENTS. YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO. ALRIGHT. IS MR. GARY LYNN BACK IN THE ROOM? SORRY ABOUT THAT. I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER HOLT AND I ARE ON THE SAME SCHEDULE. 5623 ASHTON GROVE DRIVE. IS THAT CORRECT? YES, IT'S IN WESTERVILLE. OKAY, SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, MAYOR, STAGE, CITY STAFF. MY NAME IS GARY LYNN. I SERVE IN THE ROLE OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER FOR THE YMCA OF CENTRAL OHIO. I WAS AT THE PREVIOUS SESSION AND HEARD MANY OF THE COMMENTS. I WAS ACTUALLY VERY EXCITED TO HEAR SOME OF YOU, WITH SOME INTEREST IN SITTING DOWN WITH THE Y AND EXPLORING WHAT A POTENTIAL COLLABORATION COULD LOOK LIKE. WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL TO HAVE THAT MEETING AND TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THAT. THE GROVE CITY Y IS MORE THAN A GYM.
