[2. APPLICATION: Healthy Pets – Final Development Plan Amendment]
TWO, HEALTHY PET'S FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.DO WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE? HELLO, I'M STEVE AARON WITH ARCON CONSTRUCTION AT 5 4 3 WESTRIDGE STREET REPRESENTING HEALTHY PETS.
THIS APPLICATION IS TO EXCHANGE THE F THE EXTERIOR FACADE MATERIAL FOR THE HEALTHY PETS.
THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN WAS APPROVED IN 2026, AND THIS APPLICATION IS TO EX IS TO CHANGE THE FACADE MATERIAL FOR THE BUILDING.
THE APPROVED BUILDING FINISH WAS, WAS MASONRY STUCCO ON ALL ELEVATIONS WITH LARGE WINDOWS AND FIBER CEMENT SIDING AND AN ASPHALT SHINGLE.
THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE BUILDING INCLUDE A METAL ROOF MASON VEER SUBSTITUTION AND ADDITIONAL IN AN ADDITIONAL SLATTED WOOD SCREENING STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE ALTERATIONS AS IT CREATES A HIGH QUALITY DESIGN AND PROVIDES VISUAL INTEREST IN THE FACADE, NOTING THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT MEETS ALL APPLICABLE GROVE CITY 2050 GUIDING PRINCIPLES.
AFTER REVIEW OF CONSIDERATION, THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL
[00:05:01]
FOR THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS SUBMITTED.DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS, PLEASE? I'M SORRY.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS? NOT REALLY.
IN REGARDS TO THE TEXT, I HAD ONE LITTLE KIND OF PIECE OF ARTWORK ON THE BUILDING THAT I REALIZED WASN'T IN THERE THAT I WANTED TO TOSS OUT TO YOU GUYS.
SEE, MAKE SURE WE CAN GET APPROVAL FOR THAT.
I'M SURE HOW I DO THAT, I HAND IT TO YOU, TERRY, AND CAN I APPROACH HIM? YEAH, IF YOU WANT, PASS ON I, IF YOU HEAR ME.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HEALTHY PETS TRYING TO GET THE BRAND IS THANK YOU.
INCORPORATE MORE OF THEIR, THEIR PATIENTS INTO THEIR ARTWORK.
AND SO WE HAVE, UH, ANOTHER BUILDING IN COLUMBUS THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW, INCORPORATE SOME OF THE S INTO THE EXTERIOR BUILDING.
THIS IS JUST ONE WHERE WE HAVE A SCREEN AND UM, ALL WE WANNA DO IS PUT A LITTLE POOCH ON THERE AND, UH, IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE, BUT I REALIZE THAT IT WASN'T PART OF WHAT WAS SUBMITTED.
SHOWS UP IN OUR DRAWINGS, BUT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THE DRAWINGS THAT WE SENT YOU GUYS.
SO, UM, SO AS A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, WE DID HAVE SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT ABOUT THE POTENTIAL TO, UM, INCLUDE THIS, UM, ON THAT FRONT SCREEN.
UM, I BELIEVE INITIALLY STAFF HAD SOME HESITANCY ABOUT THAT, UM, BECAUSE IT COULD BE INTERPRETED AS A MURAL, UM, WHICH IN THE PAST HAS BEEN INTERPRETED TO BE SIGNAGE.
UM, SO I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE CODE ALLOTMENT OF SIGNAGE, BUT, UM, SINCE WE DIDN'T GET THIS AS PART OF THE SUBMITTAL, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROPORTION IS AND HOW IT FITS IN WITH WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWED IN TERMS OF THEIR SIGNAGE STILL.
SO, UM, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT PLANNING COMMISSION KEEP THE PLANS AS SUBMITTED AND NOT INTEGRATE THIS.
AND IT'S SOMETHING A, A CONVERSATION THAT WE COULD HAVE WITH THE APPLICANT IN THE FUTURE.
IS THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO DOING ANYTHING LIKE THIS THOUGH, OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT WE NEED TO COMPLY WITH GRAPHICS STANDARDS? I GUESS PROVIDED THAT IT FALLS WITHIN YOUR ALLOTMENT OF SIGNAGE, IT COULD BE APPROVED BY RIGHT ADMINISTRATIVELY WITH THE SIGN PERMIT.
UM, IF IT GOES OVER THE SIGN ALLOTMENT, YOU DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ASK FOR A VARIANCE FROM THE BZA TO GO OVER THE REQUIREMENTS OF 1145.
AND, AND DON'T WE HAVE A, A LIMIT OF LIKE FOUR FEET ON SOME OF THE SIGNAGE OR IS THAT OUTSIDE SIGNAGE? UM, IT, YEAH, IT'S, IT, IT'S BASED ON YOUR, THE LINEAGE FRONTAGE FOR THE BUILDING.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY ONE SQUARE FOOT OF SIGNAGE PER LINEAR FOOT OF BUILDING FRONTAGE.
IT JUST LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE SIX FOOT OR OVER FOR THIS LINE.
SO THAT'S WHY, I MEAN, I, I THINK STAFF WOULD PREFER TO HAVE MORE TIME TO EXAMINE THIS BEFORE ANY DECISIONS ARE MADE.
BUT THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS.
WHAT, UH, WHAT MATERIAL WOULD THE POOCH BE? WOULD BE A METAL POOCH WOULD BE A CUT OUT OF THIS TRELLIS STRUCTURE THAT'S IN THE FRONT.
WHICH JUST SCREENS SOME WINDOWS BEHIND.
SO ANY, ANY QUESTIONS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION? ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? HEARING? NONE.
UH, DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON APPLICATION TWO, THE HEALTHY PETS FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT CHAIR.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE, WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL.

AFTER REVIEWING CONSIDERATION, THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDS PLANNING COMMISSION MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE PRELIMINARY DEV PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITH THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS.
ANYTHING TO ADD, PLEASE? UH, UM, I HAVE NO CORRECTIONS WITH THE STAFF REPORT EXCEPT MAYBE A CLARIFICATION ON THE GAS PUMPS.
THERE'S NINE PUMPS, THERE ARE 18 POSITIONS.
UM, AND THEN WE DO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STIPULATIONS THAT WERE, UM, PROVIDED.
I WOULD POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED AND TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE WITH THE THOSE IN THE PROCESS.
UH, THE TRAFFIC STUDY, ALTHOUGH IT WAS SAID THAT'S STILL BEING REVIEWED BY THE CITY, UH, WE HAVE AND UH, DONE EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF THE STA TRAFFIC STUDY AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE CURB CUTS WHERE THEY ARE THE RIGHT AND RIGHT OUT RESTRICTIONS.
AND WE KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE TURN LANES OFF OF 1 0 4 INTO THE GAS STATION SITE.
UM, THE, UM, ALONG WITH TRAFFIC IS THE LAMPLIGHT DRIVE ISSUE, WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A NORTH SOUTH COLLECTOR THAT COMES UP FROM THE EXISTING LAMPLIGHTER DRIVE OUT TO STRING
[00:20:01]
TOWN ROAD.THAT'S GONNA BE OUR WEST PROPERTY LINE.
AND SO WE HAVE HAD TO BASICALLY ANTICIPATE THAT ROAD GOING IN AND HAD TO ADJUST OUR BUILDING TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.
WE OBVIOUSLY ARE IN SUPPORT OF THAT ROADWAY BECAUSE, AND I THINK ALONG WITH THE HOSPITAL THAT'S THERE, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE LAMP LIGHTER AND, UH, WHERE MEET STRING TOWN ROAD.
AND SO THAT'S A, THAT'S A, A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WHEN HALF OF THAT ROAD IS GOING TO BE ON, UH, BJ'S PROPERTY.
THE OTHER HALF WOULD BE ON THE HOSPITAL SITE.
AND I THINK THERE'D BEEN PRIOR NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE HOSPITAL TO THAT EFFECT.
UM, THE ARCHITECTURE, WE RECEIVED A STAFF COMMENTS IN ADVANCE OF, UH, THIS MEETING.
WE RESPONDED TO THOSE, BUT WE COULD NOT PUT THE ARCHITECTURE, UH, ELEVATIONS BACK AND WE WILL HAVE THOSE BEFORE YOU THE NEXT MEETING AND WE'LL HAVE THOSE WAY BEFORE THAT MEETING TO STAFF AND WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS AND TO STONE AND, AND, AND, AND SETTING OUT THE, THE MASS OF THE BUILDING.
AND THEN FINALLY ON LANDSCAPING, UM, TO THE SOUTH OF US IS A SIGNIFICANT STORM, UM, STREAM CORRIDOR.
THOSE TREES ARE GONNA REMAIN, UM, THE ELEVATION DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BACK OF OUR STORE.
UM, WE'RE AT, UM, SEVEN 19 ON THE OTHER SIDE, SOUTH SIDE OF THAT STREAM CORRIDOR AT 7 27.
AND THAT'S JUST LAND, NOT, IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE TREES.
SO YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOME DEVIATION REQUESTS RELATED TO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING, BUT NOT TO THE OTHER THREE SIDES.
UM, UM, TO YOU, TO OUR PROPERTY OWNERS, TO THE EAST OF US, WHICH IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE.
UM, I'VE MET WITH THE NEIGHBOR, THE, THE KIDS AND, AND TALKED ABOUT BEEFING UP THE LANDSCAPING ALONG THERE AND HOW WE MIGHT CONTINUE TO, TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT HOW THAT MAY WORK OUT.
THE OTHER PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH OF THE
BUT WITH THAT, THOSE ARE THE ISSUES THAT WE ANTICIPATE AND, AND BRINGING BACK TO YOU AND, AND CONTINUE TO DISCUSS AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION? UH, YES.
I, I SPOKE WITH, UM, THE FAMILY THAT IT WAS THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY AND UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT REAL EXCITED ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY KNEW WHEN THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE THAT IT'S GONNA GET DEVELOPED EVENTUALLY.
SO THEY, THEY CAN LIVE WITH ONE CONCERN THEY HAD IS THE CREEK THAT GOES BACK THROUGH THERE HAS GOT A, A WOODEN BRIDGE.
I THINK IT'S ON SURVEY PAGE 21.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN IT WAS A HOME THERE, THEY WEREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT THE BRIDGE, BUT NOW BEING A PUBLIC PROPERTY, THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT BRIDGE REMOVED.
I WASN'T AWARE OF THE BRIDGE, BUT THAT'S NOT GONNA BE A PROBLEM WITH US.
WELL THEY, THEY JUST, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY WITH PUBLIC OF PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO WALK IN AND IT'D JUST BE EASIER FOR FOLKS TO WALK ONTO THEIR LAND AND STUFF AND, AND GOING ACROSS THERE.
BUT, UH, THAT WAS THE ONLY CONCERN.
AND WOULD WE PUT THAT IN IN THE, THE PRELIMINARY OR IS THAT MORE SOMETHING ON THE FINAL DIAL.
AND WHEN I, AND WHEN I MET WITH THEM, THEY ALSO HAD A CONCERN ABOUT MAYBE A SECURITY FENCE.
AND AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
THEY TOLD ME THEY'D BEEN THERE FOR 30 YEARS.
THEY WERE THERE BEFORE, UH, BUCKEYE PARKWAY.
SO THEY'VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGE.
UM, SO SYM SYMPATHETIC TO IT AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO MEET WITH THEM.
THE FOLKS OF THE SOUTH, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S THE THREE ACRES.
THEY, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THERE, THEY'RE THAT LONG AND SO THAT, THAT WAS THE CONCERN THEY HAD.
SO IF YOU COULD JUST TAKE END TO NOTE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC? YOU WANNA COME TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? CAROLYN HUBBARD, 4 1 1 9 JACKSON PIKE.
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW EVERYBODY HAS SPOKEN TO THE NEIGHBORS THERE? WE HAVE NOT BEEN SPOKEN WITH, NO, I SPOKE WITH ONE NEIGHBOR.
I MEAN, JUST THE ONES IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH.
I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS SAID THAT YOU HAD SPOKEN TO EVERYBODY.
WE WOULD LIKE TO BE SPOKEN TO.
YES, I'M TYLER ABRAM AT 41 96 JACKSON PIKE, ABOUT THREE LOTS DOWN ACROSS THE STREET.
WE MOVED INTO GROVE CITY BACK IN 2000, 2001, BUILT THE HOME SO IT WAS ALL BEFORE EVERYTHING HAPPENED AND WATCHED THE PROGRESS OF PROGRESS OF COMMERCIAL AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE WHOLE CORRIDOR OVER THAT TIMEFRAME.
AND NOW WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND LOOKING AT YOUR 2050 PLAN THAT SO MANY HOURS WERE SPENT DEVELOPING, I HAVE A HARD TIME LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, THE INTENT OF THIS PLAN FROM 2050 FUTURE PLAN DOES NOT IN
[00:25:01]
ANY WAY IN MY MIND ACCOMMODATE A GAS STATION AND OR 104,000 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL FACILITY WITH AN OUT OUTLET IN FRONT.THAT IS TO BE DETERMINED WITH SOME PREP USE THE TRAFFIC IT'S GONNA GENERATE IS GONNA BE A MAJOR PROBLEM, EVEN WITH THE RIGHT AND RED ONLY OR RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.
I MEAN, YOU GET A TURN TO GO SOUTH ON 1 0 4 AND HIT THE GAS, HAVE YOUR TURN SIGNAL ON, AND THEN TURN IN MY DRIVEWAY ALL WITHIN A VERY SHORT DISTANCE.
AND NOW TO EVEN PROPOSE A CURB CUTTING THAT SHORT DISTANCE MAKES NO SENSE.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IS THE TIME SPENT ON THE 2050 PLAN AND WHAT THE INTENT WAS FOR IT.
IT TALKS SO MUCH ABOUT, UM, WELL, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOUR PLAN SAYS, BUT I MEAN, MIXED USE EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, LARGE SCALE ACTIVITY CENTERS AND THEY INTEGRATE PLACES TO WORK, SHOP AND LIVE IN A WALKABLE PATTERN.
THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS CONNECTING ANY ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
THERE'S NO, UH, UH, THE CENTERS SHOULD EMPHASIZE EMPLOYMENT USE WITH SECONDARY RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SO THERE'S NO CONNECTING RESIDENTIAL PROPOSAL AND NO ACCESS BETWEEN PROPERTIES.
I JUST GOT A REAL CONCERN ABOUT HOW THIS DEVELOPMENT'S GONNA TURN OUT WITH A BIG BOX IN A GAS STATION AS THE ENTRY TO THIS CORRIDOR THAT SO MANY HOURS WERE SPENT PLANNING ON MAKING IT A, A FOCAL POINT OF GROVE CITY.
SO I'M OBJECTED TO THE PROJECT BASED ON THOSE CRITERIA.
BE HAPPY TO TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT ANYTHING REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT.
ARE, SIR, ARE YOU, ARE YOU ACTUALLY IN GROVE CITY OR ARE YOU IN JACKSON TOWN RIGHT NOW? WE HAVE A GROVE CITY MAILING ADDRESS.
BUT AS THE PROPERTIES ARE BEING REZONED RIGHT NOW FOR THIS PROJECT, THEIR INTENT WAS NEVER TO SEE ANYTHING LIKE THAT ON THE PROPERTY EITHER.
I SPENT HOURS WITH THOSE PEOPLE BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY BACK IN 98 AS TO WHAT THIS COULD BE, KNOWING THAT THERE WERE NO UTILITIES ON MY SIDE OF THE ROAD.
AND THERE WERE NONE THERE AT THAT TIME EITHER AT, THAT CAME OVER TIME WITH THE HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT, CHILDREN'S STEEL, THE PET THING, THE REUSE OF THAT NORTHWEST CORNER WITH CAR SOURCE, THAT ALL EVOLVED OVER TIME.
WELL, MY, MY QUESTION WHEN YOU WERE SAYING THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS CONNECTING IT, I I OF YOU BEING IN GROVE CITY OR NOT, WHERE THERE WOULD BE SIDEWALKS IF YOU WERE IN GROVE CITY? I'M SURE I'M, I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ME.
I DON'T WANT A SIDEWALK GOING OVER THERE.
BUT THE INTENT OF THIS PLAN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE DETAIL, WHICH I'M SURE YOU HAVE INTEGRATED PER THE EXAMPLE PATTERN SHOWN ON THE PLAN, I MEAN, IT'S GOT CLOSE BUILDINGS, IT'S GOT AREAS THAT CAN BE SHARED, IF YOU WILL.
AND THEN THE EXAMPLE CHARACTER AS SHOWN ON YOUR PICTURES HERE, IT'S, IT'S MORE OF A TOWN CENTER DEVELOPMENT IS WHAT I WOULD LOOK AT IT AS.
AND THERE'S NO REAL ACCOMMODATION FOR INTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO PROPERTY TO THE WEST OR EVEN THE NORTH.
SO THAT'S MY CONCERNS WITH THE, AND I'VE TALKED TO SOME OF THOSE NEIGHBORS AS WELL RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME, WHICH WE ABUTTING THE REAR OF THIS DEVELOPMENT.
THEY'VE GOT BIG CONCERNS, UH, TO THE EAST ACROSS THE ROAD.
UM, HE'S GOT MAJOR CONCERNS WITH THE WHOLE THING AS WELL.
NOT ONLY 'CAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT WE SPOKE OF, BUT THE ACCESS LINING UP WITH HIS DRIVEWAY EVEN THOUGH IT'S A RIGHT AND RIGHT OUT, IT'S JUST GONNA BE A QUAGMIRE AND DANGEROUS AS IT IS NOW.
ANYONE ELSE? WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT? ANY OF HIS CONCERNS? NO, JUST ADDRESSING THE TRAFFIC.
AND, AND, AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE INTERSECTION OF SPRINGTOWN AND 1 0 4, IT'S A MAJOR INTERSECTION EVEN NOW WITHOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT.
BUT WE HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS THAT THE NEIGHBORS HAVE.
WE DON'T WANT, UM, WE DON'T WANT TRAFFIC TO BACK UP.
WE WANT TRAFFIC TO BE ABLE TO MOVE.
BUT THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO SLOW DOWN TRAFFIC.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE LIGHT IS GONNA HAVE TO BE RE TIMED AND WE'D LIKE TO AT, AT SOME POINT SEE A LOWER SPEED LIMIT ON 1 0 4 AS IT GETS INTO COLUMBUS.
I MEAN, I, I IN AND OUT OF GROVE CITY.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, ALL THOSE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN DEVELOPMENT HAPPENS AND, AND GROVE CITIES MOVING EAST, I MEAN, UM, LAMPLIGHTER DRIVE WILL OPEN UP A GOOD PORTION OF THE LAND TO OUR SOUTH.
SO I EXPECT MORE DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR AS WELL.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE SEE THE CONNECTION.
I MEAN, WE SEE LAMPLIGHTER DRIVE, WE'LL HAVE
[00:30:01]
SIDEWALKS THAT MAY HAVE UH, A BICYCLE PATH, BUT ALL THAT'LL LEAD TO BJ'S WHOLESALE.SO, UH, APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION, BUT WE THINK THIS IS, UH, AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TO BRING THIS THING BACK TO YOU, UM, BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND STIPULATIONS.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? YES.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS THIS LITTLE GUY.
HI, I'M KATIE LITTLE, I, YOU ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH MY HUSBAND TODAY.
UM, WE'RE THE SOUTHERN MOST PROPERTY, UH, WE'RE 42 0 1 JACKSON PIKE.
UM, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UM, AND ACTUALLY IN REGARDS TO THE, THE TRAFFIC STUDY, UM, I, I DEFINITELY DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT MYSELF 'CAUSE I ALMOST GET HIT EVERY FRIDAY TRYING TO TURN INTO MY OWN DRIVEWAY JUST 'CAUSE IT'S A VERY BUSY TIME OF THE DAY.
UM, AND I HAVE YOUNG KIDS THAT ARE GONNA START LEARNING TO DRIVE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THEY ARE SAFE, UM, WHEN THEY'RE DOING SO.
SO LIKE YOU HAD MENTIONED, POTENTIALLY SLOWING DOWN THE TRACK LIKE THE UH, THE SPEED LIMIT, UM, I THINK WOULD BE GOOD.
UM, BUT I DO THINK THAT JUST THE RIGHT TURN ONLY I CAN HARDLY GET OUTTA MY DRIVEWAY DURING LIKE RUSH HOUR TIMES NOW.
UM, AND WE'RE GONNA JUST BE FUNNELING MORE AND MORE CARS IN THAT SAME DIRECTION.
AND I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW I'M EVEN GONNA GET OUTTA MY HOME, UM, LET ALONE BACK INTO IT WHEN I TRY TO GO BACK HOME.
SO THERE'S MY ONE CONCERN, UM, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE POINT OF THE BRIDGE UP.
THAT WAS ONE OF OUR PIECES OF, UM, CONCERN WE HAD.
SO IF WE CAN REMOVE THAT, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
UM, BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO UM, A REALLY BEAUTIFUL WHITE BIRCH TREE BACK THERE THAT'S STILL ON OUR SIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S UM, THAT I REALLY DON'T WANNA SEE IT TAKEN OUT SO I DON'T WANT IT TO ACCIDENTALLY, 'CAUSE I KNOW THINGS HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT SOMETIMES AND I REALLY JUST DON'T WANNA SEE THAT TREE GO.
SO, UM, I UNDERSTAND PROGRESS IS HAPPENING.
UM, ALSO DID SOME PRETTY AS EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AS I COULD WITH MY LITTLE MAGNIFYING GLASS IN THE, UM, COMPUTER AND PRINTOUTS OF THE 2050 PLANS.
UM, IT DID APPEAR THAT THERE WAS GONNA BE FURTHER PLANS FOR EXPANSION, IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING? CORRECT.
LIKE RIGHT THERE AS WELL AS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.
IT WAS LIKE ORANGE I WANNA SAY.
UM, AND I JUST WONDERED LIKE WHAT ARE WE THINKING TIMEFRAME WISE AS FAR AS THAT IS GOING? LIKE DO WE NEED TO BE, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT WE BOUGHT OUR FOREVER HOME AND SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DECIDE LIKE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE WITH LITTLE ONES AND UM, YEAH, WE LOVE BEING THERE, BUT I UNDERSTAND LIKE I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
I'M NOT BLIND TO IT, BUT UM, WE DO JUST KIND OF WANNA HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE WALKING INTO AND HOW TO WALK THROUGH IT GRACEFULLY AND PEACEFULLY WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN.
UM, YEAH, I THINK THOSE ARE MY BIGGEST CONCERNS.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY FEEDBACK ABOUT THAT AND JUST GENERALLY TO SPEAK TO THE CONCERNS ABOUT IT GROWING.
I MEAN WE AS A CITY DON'T DO THAT, RIGHT? I MEAN THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY PLAN AND THE FUTURE LAND USE IS TO SAY, SHOULD WE BE APPROACHED BY A PROPERTY OWNER THAT WANTS TO SELL OR A DEVELOPER THAT'S LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE TO GO? THIS GUIDES THEM IN TERMS OF WHAT KIND OF CHARACTER OF DEVELOPMENT WE WOULD WANT TO SEE THERE.
BUT IT DOES IN NO MEANS, MEANS THAT WE WILL BE GOING OUT TO SELL THE PROPERTY OR HAVE IT DEVELOPED.
WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE A COMMON ESTABLISHED VISION FOR SHOULD DEVELOPMENT COME TO US.
WE KIND OF HAVE AN IDEA OF THE KIND OF CHARACTER THAT WE WANT.
UM, I DO WANNA CLARIFY TOO JUST ABOUT SORT OF THE INTENT OF 2050 IN THIS FUTURE LAND USE SPECIFICALLY.
UM, IT IS MARKED AS, UM, MIXED USE EMPLOYMENT CENTER.
WHEN WE LOOK AT AN APPROPRIATENESS OF A USE, WE'RE NOT DOING IT PARCEL BY PARCEL.
UM, IT WOULD BE VERY HARD FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECT TO MEET A MIXED USE, YOU KNOW, CHECK ALL THOSE BOXES.
WE'RE LOOKING AT IT FOR THE DISTRICT, THE AREA.
SO, UM, AS MR. BARR MENTIONED, COMMERCIAL IS A SECONDARY USE.
UM, IT IS TO, TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY AROUND IT.
WE DO HAVE THE, THE HOSPITAL, THE OTHER MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE AREA.
THERE IS STILL OTHER, UM, SPACE WITHIN THAT DISTRICT AREA FOR OTHER MIXED USE OPPORTUNITIES.
SO IN TERMS OF THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THIS USE COMPARED TO 2050, WE FELT THAT IT, IT WAS STILL IN LINE WITH WHAT THE, UM, THE LAND USE SAID.
AND THAT INCLUDES LIKE THAT THE PROTECTED STREAM THAT'S THERE, IT'S A PRETTY DECENT SIZED RAVINE.
WE HAVE PRETTY STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS IN TERMS OF STREAM CORRIDOR PROTECTIONS, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT AND AS WELL AS STORMWATER REGULATIONS.
SO, UM, THE, THE STREAM CORRIDOR WILL HAVE TO BE DEVELOPED AROUND AND PROTECTED SO THAT IT DOES NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT.
YOU CAN STILL DEVELOP ON THAT LIKE WITH IT OR LIKE
[00:35:01]
AROUND IT? LIKE, UM, I MEAN I'M, I'M NOT THE ENGINEER SOUM, ANY KIND OF IMPACT TO A FLOODPLAIN AREA OR, OR THE STREAM CORRIDOR SETBACKS, WHICH IS CALCULATED BASED ON THE TRIBUTARY AREA.
UM, YOU HAVE TO MITIGATE IT BY LIKE FOUR TIMES.
SO CERTAINLY IT'S TO THE INTENT TO PRESERVE THE CORRIDOR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
AND THEN ANY, ANY KIND OF FLOODPLAIN, WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ANY ON THIS SITE SPECIFICALLY, BUT OBVIOUSLY WOULD INVOLVE FEMA AND THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER PROCESSES AND SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE FOR THAT.
APPRECIATE GUYS, I'LL GIVE GIVE YOU A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT THEY'VE DONE WITH THE STREAMS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS ON THE MULBERRY COURT RIGHT AT MCDOWELL AND WHITE ROAD.
WHICH WAS AN OLD FARMLAND YES.
AND IF YOU LOOK HOW THAT IS NOW THE STREAM, YOU LOOK HOW MUCH THAT'S UPGRADED FROM WHAT IT WAS BEFORE.
I ACTUALLY SPOKE TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT THAT EXACT PROPERTY YEP.
AND HOW NICE IT LOOKS AND THAT IT CAN BE INTEGRATED INTO IT.
SO WE ARE JUST KIND OF TRYING TO GET AN IDEA OF LIKE WHAT THAT EVEN COULD BE SOMEDAY.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC? YES, IN REFERENCE TO THE A UH, THE ACCESS, UM, CURRENTLY THAT LAND ON THE CORNER IS JACKSON TOWNSHIP AND BASICALLY ANY ACCESS UNDER 1 0 4 WOULD BE UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE OF OHIO ODOT MM-HMM
THAT, THAT WAS THEIR OWN WORDS WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM.
SO GIVEN THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO PUT THE ACCESS ON THAT ROAD IS TO ANNEX IT INTO GROVE CITY AND THEN GROVE CITY TAKES OVER THE APPROVAL OF THE PERMIT.
SO IT'S KIND OF A, A WAY OF GETTING INTO IT, WHICH I UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS, BUT EITHER WAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
JUST A QUICK, QUICK QUESTION ON THAT.
SO DOES THE STATE STILL KIND OF TRUMP THAT SINCE THAT'S A STATE ROUTE 1 0 4? WELL, AS PART OF THE, YEAH, WE, WE'VE SHARED OUR, UM, TRAFFIC STUDY WITH ODOT.
THEY SEE EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY HAS SEEN AND UM, THAT PARTICULAR AREA ON, UH, 1 0 4 IS IN THE CITY OF GROVE CITY ALREADY IT'S BEEN NX.
UM, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ODOT DOESN'T HAVE SOME JURISDICTION ON THAT.
SO, BUT WE'RE MAKING SURE THAT THEY SEE EVERYTHING THAT WE SEND TO THE CITY ENGINEER AND THEY HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON OUR TRAFFIC STUDY AS WELL.
JUST A, THE PROPERTY IS UNDER REVIEW FOR ANNEXATION? NO, I CORNER, I LOOKED AT THE, I BELIEVE THE ACTUAL ROADWAY IS IN THE CITY OF GROVE.
AND ODOT DID MAKE A NOTE OF THAT IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH THEM IS THAT THE INTERSECTION IS WITHIN THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY, BUT THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY IS UNDER ANNEXATION, NOT IN GROVE CITY AS AT THIS TIME.
WE HAVE A HEARING BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON THE 20TH.
THANK YOU WITH THAT, UH, DO WE HAVE ANY MOTIONS ON THE APPLICATION FOR CHAIR? I MOVE.
WE, UH, UH, RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO COUNSEL FOR, UM, UH, ITEM NUMBER FOUR, THE, UH, BJ'S WHOLESALE, UH, WITH THE THREE STIPULATIONS NOTED.
YOU WITH THAT, THAT WAS OUR LAST ITEM.
