Oct 19, 2021 Planning & Zoning Commission

[00:00:01]

WE'LL CALL A MEETING

[1. Call Meeting to Order]

[1. Consider Action on the Minutes from the September 21, 2021 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting.]

IS THERE A SECOND, SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

OPPOSED MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

OUR FIRST CASE THIS EVENING IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO PRESENT AND CONSIDER AN ACTION ON RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 41 41 SPRING VALLEY ROAD.

PARTIALLY CARS ARE ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING IN PLAN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE 0 8 4 DASH 0 9 2 FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A NEW PRIVATE SCHOOL BUILDING CAN STAFF AND, UH, MADAM CHAIR.

IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE APPLICANT IS EITHER ON ZOOM OR WITH US CURRENTLY.

I SUSPECT THERE, THERE MAY BE SOME ISSUES FINDING OR GETTING THROUGH TRAFFIC.

SO, UH, WE DO HAVE, UH, THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE NEXT CASE, IF WE COULD, UH, PERHAPS, UH, UH, CHRISTINA THAT.

SURE.

[3. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on a Recommendation regarding an Ordinance, on Property located at 5100 Belt Line Road, Suite 868, currently zoned Planned Development (PD), through Ordinance O12-002 and Ordinance O20-08, for a Special Use Permit to allow for the Expansion of an Existing Restaurant with the Sale of Alcoholic Beverages for On Premises Consumption Only. Case 1837-SUP/5100 Belt Line Road (Low Key Poke Joint).]

CAN I GUESS JENNIFER, CAN WE HAVE THE STAFF REPORT PLEASE? MA'AM YES.

UM, THE REQUEST, UH, THIS REQUEST IS FOR X TO CONSIDER AS, UH, THIS REQUEST IS TO CONSIDER A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, UH, FOR A, UH, RESTAURANT EXPANSION.

THE DEPARTMENT IS LOCATED AT 5,100, A BELTLINE ROAD AS IN SUITE 8 68, UH, GENERALLY AT THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF BELTLINE AND THE DALLAS TOLL ON YOUR MIND, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BUILDING IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF THE, UM, WHOLE FOODS BUILDING, UH, THAT THIS TENANT SPACE THAT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING SPECIFICALLY IS TO THE EAST OF THE GLORIOUS RESTAURANT.

UM, THEIR REQUESTS, AGAIN AS MENTIONED IS TO CONSIDER A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE EXPANSION OF A RESTAURANT WITH THE SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES FOR ON PREMISE CONSUMPTION ONLY.

UM, THIS, THIS IS AN EXISTING RESTAURANT AND THE REQUEST IS TO EXPAND IT.

HOWEVER, THE, THE SUP WOULD COVER THE ENTIRE, UH, RESTAURANT ITSELF.

UM, AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, THE, THE BUILDING ITSELF IS SLUGGISH ITSELF OF THE WHOLE FOODS BUILDING.

UH, THE TENANT SPACE IS, UH, EAST OF THE GLORIA'S RESTAURANT.

UM, THE PROPERTY, UM, AS YOU'RE AWARE, HAS GONE THROUGH, UM, REDEVELOPMENT IN THE, IN THE LAST, UM, FEW YEARS IN 2012, WHEN IT WAS, UH, REZONED TO PD TO ALLOW FOR, UH, THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE CIPHER MIX OF USES.

AND THEN IN 2017, THE ORIGINAL SUITE, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY, UH, OR IS 1,870 SQUARE FEET, AND SEP WAS APPROVED FOR THE LOKI POKEY JOINED, UM, AND WAS APPROVED IN 2017.

UM, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW THAT IN 2020, THERE WAS AN AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT TO AMEND THE PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, UH, THE VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY.

UM, AND, AND THAT'S JUST IMPORTANT JUST TO KNOW THAT, UH, THE PARKING REQUIREMENT WAS ESTABLISHED FOR ALL USES, UM, IN THE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOVIE THEATER, WHICH IS FOR ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EVERY 225 SQUARE FEET OF FLOOR AREA.

UH, THE CONSIDERATION BEFORE YOU TODAY IS FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE LOW-KEY POKEY JOINT, UM, TO EXPAND TO THE EASTERN TENANT SPACE.

UM, AND, UH, THIS SPECIFIC SUITE HAS BEEN VACANT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A TENANT IN THIS SPACE, UM, IN THE LAST 10 YEARS.

[00:05:01]

UM, ON YOUR SCREEN NOW IS THE, UH, PROPOSED FOUR PLAN.

UM, AS I MENTIONED, THE EXISTING, UH, RESTAURANT, UM, IS 1,970 SQUARE FEET.

UM, THE, UH, I'M SORRY, THE EXPANSION IS 1,970 SQUARE FEET THAT WOULD MAKE THE TOTAL FLURRY OF THE RESTAURANT 3,780 SQUARE FEET.

UM, THERE ARE NO IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED IN THE INTERIOR OF THE EXISTING RESTAURANT SPACE.

UM, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE EXPANSION INCLUDES A LARGE BAR AREA AND, UM, SEATING, UH, DINING ROOM SEATING FOR, UH, PATRONS, INCLUDING A SMALL PRIVATE ROOM FOR A SEATING FOR EIGHT, UH, THAT WILL BRING THE TOTAL SEATING FOR THE RESTAURANT TO UP TO 135 SEATS.

UM, THERE IS AN EXISTING PATIO AREA, 200 SQUARE FEET THAT THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED IN PART OF THE CURRENT SUP UH, THIS OUTDOOR SPACE IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN WITH NO MODIFICATIONS TO THE SEATING, UM, ITSELF.

UM, THERE, THE, UM, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THAT, UH, OPENNESS AND CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EXISTING SPACE AND THE, UH, NEW PROPOSED EXPANSION, UM, THERE WILL BE AN OPENING OF APPROXIMATELY 13 FEET BETWEEN THE TWO SPACES.

A PORTION OF IT WILL BE AROUND TO ALLOW FOR ADA ACCESSIBILITY TO THE EXPANSION PORTION.

UM, AS FAR AS PARKING, THE SITE IS COMPLIANT WITH, UH, THE, THE, THIS TENANT'S MAY SAYS COMPLY WITH A PARKING REQUIRED.

AS I MENTIONED IN 2020, WHEN THE PD WAS AMENDED, ALL USES WERE, UM, UM, UH, REQUIRED ONE SPACE FOR EVERY 225 SQUARE FEET AT THAT TIME, ADDITIONAL PARKING WAS PROVIDED FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT, AND NOW, UH, EXCEEDS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT.

UM, THE, UH, THERE ARE NO PARKING, UM, MODIFICATIONS PROPOSED WITH THIS REQUEST.

UH, AS FAR AS LANDSCAPING, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO PROVIDE, UH, THREE PLANTER BOXES WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PATIO.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS HERE, UM, THOSE PLANTER BOXES WILL BE ADDED TO THE, UH, PROPOSED RAILING THAT WILL ALSO BE, UM, MODIFIED AND UPGRADED.

UM, THE, THE PAD, THE EXTERIOR BUILDING ITSELF WILL NOT BE MODIFIED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF, UM, THE AWNING OVER THE EXPANSION AREA TO PROVIDE THE UNIFORM LOAD.

SO THERE'S AN EXISTING AWNING THERE.

YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE STREET VIEW IMAGE.

IT'S, IT'S NOT THE SAME AS THE, THE AWNING THAT'S OVER THE LOW KEY POKEY IS EXISTING TO BE POKEY TENANT SPACE, SO THAT ON THE WILL BE MODIFIED SO THAT IT MATCHES AND CREATES A COHESIVE LOOK.

UM, ADDITIONALLY THERE'S A, UM, THAT PATIO AREA IS RAISED AND THERE'S EXPOSED CONCRETE.

UM, SO IN ORDER TO, UM, SOFTEN THAT LOGAN MINIMIZE THE, THE CONCRETE ITSELF, UH, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO, UM, INSTALL STONE VENEER OVER THE EXPOSED CONCRETE, UH, TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL LOGO OF THAT TENANT SPACE.

AND AS I MENTIONED, UM, THE RAILING WALLS WILL BE MODIFIED ALONG THEIR PORTION OF THE TENANT SPACE.

UM, UH, THE PUBLIC NOTICES WERE MAILED OUT TO EIGHT PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE PROPERTY.

UM, TODAY WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY, UM, ANY INQUIRIES ON THE REQUEST FOR THIS SEP, UM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST, GIVEN THAT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL RESTAURANT THAT EXPANDING INTO, UH, UH, CURRENTLY VACANT SPACE.

AS I MENTIONED, IT'S BEEN VACANT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, UM, PROVIDING MORE, UH, OCCUPANCY WITHIN, WITHIN THE VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY.

UM, THE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE, UM, THE, THE RECOMMENDATION BE CONDITIONED WITH, UM, THE NO GRAPHICS OR TERMS THAT DEPICT, UM, THAT ARE DEPICT RELATIONSHIPS TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, UM, ON EXTERIOR SIGNAGE, UM, AND ALSO THAT THE EXISTING SEP ORDINANCE ZERO 17 DASH 0 1 5 WILL BE REPEALED WITH THE ADOPTION OF THIS SEP.

UH, WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.

JENNIFER, YOU HAVE GOT A FEW JENNIFER.

UM, THE SPACE HAS TO HAVE THE SEP BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR SPACE HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED FOR ALCOHOLIC SALES, BUT IT HAS TO EXIST IN SPACE.

IS IT

[00:10:01]

SO THEN IF IT'S SAME COMMENT, YOU SAID THAT APPROVAL, THIS SUP THEN APPLY TO THE EXISTING.

SO THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT THIS SUP WOULD, UM, AS A CONDITION STATES WOULD REPEAL THE CURRENT SUP AND THIS PROPOSED SEP WOULD COVER BOTH THE EXISTING SPACE AND THE EXPANSION.

SO IT'S MORE OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE THING, EXISTING SPACE, NOT PICKING UP ANY ADVANTAGE REALLY BY THIS SUP FOR THIS EXIST, NEW SPACE BEING, YEAH, IT'S MORE JUST TO CLEAN UP.

SO WE DON'T HAVE MULTIPLE ORDINANCES RELATED TO THE SAME RESTAURANT.

OKAY.

UM, AND I'M ASSUMING THAT THE FIRE HAS REVIEWED THIS.

AND SO, OKAY.

CAUSE I JUST, WITH THE, THE RAMP BLOCKING THE FRONT DOOR, I MEAN, THERE WILL BE NO FRONT DOOR INTO THIS NEW SPACE.

IT'S YOU HAVE TO COME IN FOR THE EXISTING SPACE AND THEN DOWN THE RAMP, IS THAT CORRECT? UM, AT THIS POINT, THE ENTRY THERE IS PROPOSED TO REMAIN AS PRESENTED THE, AS IT'S SHOWN HERE ON THE FLOOR PLAN, THE DOOR IS FURTHER, UM, EAST OF THE RAMP PICTURE.

YEAH.

THAT IS IT.

YOU'RE REFERRING TO THIS, UM, THESE STEPS HERE.

I'M SORRY.

YEAH.

I JUST THOUGHT WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THIS YESTERDAY, THE RAMP, THE INTERIOR, AND I WAS GOING TO BLOCK THAT DOOR, BUT YOU'RE SAYING IT'S NOT THE DOOR AS IT'S PROPOSED ON THE FLOOR PLAN WOULD BE FURTHER, UM, EASE OF THE, OF THE RAMP THERE.

WE, WE DO HAVE THE, THE, UH, BUSINESS OWNER, UH, HERE WITH US AND THE AUDIENCE AS WELL.

IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE OPERATIONS, I'M SURE HE'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THEM TO.

OKAY.

WELL, IF THE DOOR THING IS, IT'S NOT AN ISSUE, THAT'S FINE, BUT NOW I DO NEED TO ASK THE QUESTION ON, ON THE RAMP ITSELF.

YOU HAD MENTIONED HIM AS ADA.

I THINK I WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT CHARACTERIZATION.

SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THEIR CONSULTANTS, HOW THEY'RE JUDGED, HOW THEY'RE JUST FINE COMPENSATED.

UM, WE, WE DO, LIKE I MENTIONED, OR LIKE KIM ENGINE, UM, WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE, UH, RESTAURANT OWNER AND THE OWNER HIMSELF HERE TO, TO ADDRESS THAT QUESTION, OH, I'M SORRY.

SORRY.

I'M NEW TO, THIS IS, AND I'M THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR FOR THE LOCAL FOLKS TO JOIN OR THEY EXPANSION TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SIR, THE, UM, THE RAMP IS GOING TO BE THREE AND A HALF FEET WIDE.

UM, AND IT'S GONNA GO DOWN BECAUSE THERE'S A CHANGE IN ELEVATION ABOUT TWO AND A HALF FEET.

AND SO THAT RAMP IS GOING TO, UH, TRAVEL, I THINK IT'S 11 FEET AND BEFORE IT HITS GREAT.

WHEN I LOOK UP THE ADA CALCULATIONS, UM, THIS RAMP HAS TO BE ALMOST 25, 26 FEET LONG TO MAINTAIN THE 8.3% SLOPE THAT'S REQUIRED FOR ADA.

THIS IS ONLY ABOUT A 12 FOOT RAMP.

SO THE SLOPE IS MUCH HIGHER THAN APPEARS TO BE GRADIATE.

I MEAN, UNLESS I'M GONNA THROW ON FORMULA.

SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, I REALLY CAN'T ANSWER THAT WHAT WE PROPOSE THIS, THE RAMP TO THE ARCHITECT AND THE ARCHITECT THROUGH THAT END.

UM, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE DID, BUT 25 FEET WOULD ACTUALLY PUT US TO THE WALL SPECIAL.

I'M SAYING, I DON'T THINK THIS IS AN ADA RAMP.

SO EARLY.

MY QUESTION WAS, WHY DID YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND PUT STEPS IN THERE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THIS IS ADA COMPLIANT.

SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST PUT STAFF.

AND I THINK ORIGINALLY THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE REQUESTED THE CITY'S, UH, UH, REQUESTS.

WE HAD CHANGED IT TO A BRING UP.

UH, BUT TO ANSWER YOUR EARLIER QUESTION, THERE, THERE WILL BE A PART OF THE LEASE IS THAT THE, THE OWNERS ARE GONNA PROVIDE A FRONT DOOR, UM, AND AS WELL AS THE BACK DOOR, UH, WHICH IS THE CURRENTLY IN THE PICTURE, BUT IT WILL BE OKAY.

UM, CAN, HOW DO WE RESOLVE THE DISCREPANCY ON POTENTIALLY ADA OR NOT SO WITH THAT ISSUE, AND I KNOW WE'VE, WE CURRENTLY HAVE, AS THIS IS DESIGNED RAMP, UH, THEY PREVIOUSLY HAD STEPS, UM, JUST FOR OUR RESTAURANT SPACE, UH, WITH THAT CHANGE, IF THERE IS MOVEMENT, UM, BETWEEN THE ADJACENT SPACES AND REALLY IT'S ONE SPACE, IF THIS IS TO BE APPROVED, UH, WE SUGGESTED THE RAMP ONE, CAUSE IT MADE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE OPEN.

UH, BUT ALSO IT'S LESS OF A TRIPPING HAZARD.

[00:15:01]

UM, I OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT AN IDEAL SOLUTION GIVEN, UM, THE PROPOSAL, BUT, UH, WITH THE, THE CHANGE IN ELEVATION BETWEEN THE TWO SPACES, IT'S NOT A GREAT SOLUTION BECAUSE AS YOU NOTED, HAVING THAT, THAT LONGBOARD RAMP TRULY BE ACCESSIBLE IS NOT REALLY FEASIBLE WITH THE WAY THIS IS DESIGNED.

AND THEN CAN, WE CAN ASK THE QUESTION, BUT THE PARKING SPACE FOR THE OUTSIDE RAMP IS THE ADA PARKING SPACES, NOT IN PROXIMITY TO THAT EXTERIOR RAMP THAT ENTERS THIS RESTAURANT IS THERE, I'M ASSUMING THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, BUT THE OWNER.

SO WE DO HAVE, UH, JASON JONES, UH, HE IS A REPRESENTATIVE IN THE NEW OWNERSHIP TEAM ON VILLAGE, ON PARKWAY.

HE IS ON THE CALL, UM, UH, JASON AND HIS TEAM.

THEY WILL EVENTUALLY BE BRINGING FORWARD MORE PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT, UH, FOR A VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY AND NEXT POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ADDRESS THOSE THERE.

BUT THIS IS CERTAINLY AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION AS WE REVIEW THESE RESTAURANT APPLICATIONS AS WELL.

IT COMES UP, UM, WE ALL KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE, UM, BUT, UH, CONTINUING TO KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD IS ALSO AN ISSUE.

SO, UH, I'D LIKE TO GIVE JASON AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THAT AS WELL.

UH, LET ME, UH, GIVE HIM, UH, GET THEM UNNEEDED.

JASON, ARE YOU WITH US? JASON? CAN YOU HEAR US, JASON? ARE YOU THERE? I SEE HIM AS MIKE IS GOING, UH, JU JUST THROUGH THE COMPUTER WE GOT YOU LOUD AND CLEAR NOW.

SO, UH, THE QUESTION RELATES TO, UH, ADA ACCESSIBILITY THROUGHOUT A VILLAGE ON THE PARKWAY.

UM, BUT, UH, SPECIFIC TO THIS AREA, UH, THERE'S CONCERN ABOUT, UH, THE, UH, PROXIMITY OF, UH, ADA PARKING SPACES, UH, IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED EXPANDED LOW-KEY POKEY, AND THEN ALSO A GENERAL CONCERN AS IT RELATES TO SOME OF THE EXISTING PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE, UM, NEAR LOW-KEY POKEY, BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE CENTER.

YEAH, CERTAINLY.

SO ON THE SPOT IN FRONT OF THE NEW EXPANSION SPACE HERE, THE CENTER , IT'S ALWAYS TIME AND CONCERTED ASSETS OR ACQUISITION, UM, LANDSCAPE ATTITUDES AS A WHOLE TO, TO ADDRESS, UM, BOTH CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE HERE, AS WELL AS ACCESSIBILITY CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE TO TRY AND COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT CAN, CAN HELP ADDRESS THIS, OBVIOUSLY, A PHASED APPROACH, UM, PIECE BY PIECE, AS WE GET A CERTAIN ASSIGNMENT THAT'S ON OUR AGENDA, WE'RE BETTER FOCUSED ON.

SO TH THIS FREQUENTLY COMES UP.

UM, ARE YOU ABLE TO SHARE ANY, ANY TIMELINES THAT YOU WOULD ANTICIPATE TO BE ABLE TO START, UM, ADDRESSING THAT ISSUE? YEAH, CERTAINLY.

SO OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE POCKETS OF THINGS THAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON IN THE SHORT TERM.

AND ONE OF THOSE IS LOOKING AT ONE OF THE ASPECTS OF THAT, WHICH WILL CERTAINLY BE A FOCUS ON ADDRESSING THE ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES THERE AND WORKING ON ADDRESSING SOME .

THOSE HAVE BEEN KIND OF THE PRIMARY FOCUSES OF WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON, AND THEN WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE, UM, NEXT TO TWO MONTHS

[00:20:01]

THANK YOU, COMMISSIONERS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JASON ON THAT ISSUE? NO.

OTHER THAN I'M ASSUMING THAT I'M ASSUMING THAT PART OF THE REVIEW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PRESENT TO YOU WOULD ADDRESS THIS SPECIFIC RESTAURANT WHERE THERE'S BASICALLY A RAMP TO NOWHERE.

AND I KNOW THERE IS ONE PARKING SPACE THERE IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT, BUT IT'S THAT PARKING SPACE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO THE RAMP THAT GOES TO THIS RESTAURANT.

SO I'M OPEN WHEN WE HIGHLIGHT, WE HIGHLIGHT THESE ISSUES THAT THEY GET ACCELERATED IN WHATEVER REVIEW THEY'RE LOOKING AT.

THERE IS A RAMP THERE.

I GET THAT IT'S ON THE WRONG SIDE, BUT THERE IS A RING, A BUTTON THAT GETS YOU TO THE RESTAURANT.

I GET THAT IT'S NOT CLOSE TO THE PARKING SPOT, BUT IT IS STILL ACCESSIBLE CURRENTLY TODAY, PUSH A WHEELCHAIR AND VERY LONG WAY TO GET TO IT.

I GET THAT.

BUT YEAH, IT'S NOT THAT IT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE.

IT'S NOT CONVENIENT, BUT THEY AREN'T.

I'M SENSITIVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PUSHING MY MOM AROUND FOR 35 YEARS AND I WOULD NOT VISIT THIS RESTAURANT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT A HUNDRED FEET FROM THE PARKING SPACE TO THE RAMP.

SO I JUST BRING THIS UP.

I APOLOGIZE.

I'M HAVING SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES HERE.

WELL, WHILE SHE'S DOING THAT, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR THE APPLICANT OR STAFF? DO I HEAR MY SHIT? SORRY.

WE HAVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK? WE DO HAVE THE APPLICANTS.

I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE ELSE'S HERE FOR THIS ITEM.

WHAT Y'ALL ARE SAYING ANYTHING YOU'RE JUST POINTING AT EACH OTHER.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A YES OR NO.

ALRIGHT.

SO MY NAME IS SAM HONDA.

I AM THE OWNER OF THE LOCAL BOOKIE JOINT.

UM, I JUST HOPE THAT, UM, WE'RE HERE TO COMPLY WITH EVERYBODY'S RULES AND REGULATIONS AND OTHER NAT.

UM, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I GOT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN IN GRADE 10 AND I THINK FOR THE CITY OF ADDISON FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS AND, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER SIX YEARS LEFT IN THE LEASE AND TWO FIVE-YEAR OPTION.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO BE THERE JUST A SECOND.

AND I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER VISITED YOUR RESTAURANT.

I ALWAYS GET STOPPED AT .

AND SO I HAVEN'T KIND OF CONTINUED AROUND THE CORNER YET.

AND SO UNTIL THIS APPLICATION COME UP, I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW YOU WERE OVER THERE, SO I'M GLAD THERE'S NO WAY I'LL BE, I'LL BE UP THERE TO VISIT.

BUT BECAUSE OF THAT, I, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE RUN INTO POKEY CUISINE.

COULD YOU JUST IN 30 SECONDS, DESCRIBE WHAT IT IS.

UH, PROBABLY A BASIC, LIKE A RAW FISH THAT IS MARINATED ARE OUR HOMEMADE SAUCES.

AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF DRESS IT UP IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.

SO WE HAVE A SALAD, YOU CAN DO RICE, OR YOU CAN DO HALF AND A HALF WITH US.

UH, WE HAVE ALL FRESH INGREDIENTS, CORN, CUCUMBERS, CRAB SALAD, UH, SEAWEED, SALAD, UH, AVOCADOS, PINEAPPLES PRETTY MUCH.

AND OUR CRAZY THING IS WE BECAME FAMOUS OUR HOT CHEETOS.

SO WE DO LIKE A HOT FEED ROLL BURRITO.

WE DO SUSHI PIZZA.

UM, WE'VE GOT A GREAT DINNER MENU AS WELL.

THAT'S COMING ON BOARD WITH OUR YAKITORI PASTAS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WE'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN JUST POKEMON.

WE'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE DIVERSE WITH THAT, BUT I THINK IT'S A UNIQUE ITEM.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, RAUL, WE CAN DEFINITELY COOK IT FOR YOU AS WELL.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT FOR EVERYBODY, A LOT OF VEGANS, A VEGETARIAN OF COURSE, WITH VEGAN, UM, MEAT LOVERS A LITTLE BIT FOR EVERYBODY.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

SO ANYONE ELSE? SO I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND NOW I WON'T ENTERTAIN.

I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE 3 37, THE 5,100 BELTLINE ROAD, UH, LOW KEY POKEY JOINT, UH, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS THAT THE APPLICANT SHALL NOT USE ANY TERMS FOR GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS THAT RELATE TO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN ANY EXTERIOR SIGNAGE AND THE SUV ORDINANCE, UH, OH ONE SEVEN DASH ONE FIVE FOR THE EXISTING RESTAURANT BE REPEALED CURRENT TO THE ADOPTION OF THIS SUV.

WE HAVE A MOTION TO THE SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE,

[00:25:01]

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU.

WE'RE GLAD TO SEE YOU.

IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO SEE BUSINESSES GROWING AND HABITS.

SO VERY GOOD.

SO, UM, CAN GIVE US DIRECTION.

SHALL WE GO BACK TO THE FIRST ONE OR FINISHED ON WITH THE THIRD ONE? THE THIRD ONE WILL BE A LITTLE QUICKER, SO IT MAY JUMP TO THAT.

WE WILL DO THAT AND DON'T BE SO POKEY THIS TIME SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO DO IT.

UM, THIS, UH, AS YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN, THIS IS, UH, THIS TENANT SPACES ON THE, UH, IS, IS LOCATED IN THE BUILDING.

THAT'S WHAT THE WESTERN MOST BUILDING, UM, UH, A COUPLE OF SUITES DOWN FROM THE DICKEY'S BARBECUE.

UM, THIS PROPERTY WAS REZONED FROM, UH, INDUSTRIAL ONE TO PD AND 1992, UH, TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS CONSISTENT WITH THE BELTLINE CORRIDOR, BUT LINE CORRIDOR PLAN.

UM, AND THEN IN EARLY TWO THOUSANDS ADDISON PLAZA RETAIL CENTER THAT EXISTS TODAY, UH, WAS DEVELOPED.

UM, THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TODAY IS FOR POKEY WORKS RESTAURANT.

UH, IT'S PROPOSED TO OCCUPY THIS SPACE.

THAT'S CURRENTLY VACANT AND PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY A RETAIL USE.

UH, THE GAME OVER VIDEO GAME STORE, UM, IN THIS SPACE HAS BEEN, LIKE I MENTIONED, HAS BEEN VACANT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

UM, THIS, UH, RESTAURANT USES IS FOR POKEY, UM, AS STATED WITH THE PREVIOUS CASE, UM, IT'S A RAW FISH ALOUD, UM, THAT CAN BE PREPARED IN VARIOUS WAYS ON THE SCREEN I PROVIDED, UH, MANY THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT.

UM, THEY HAVE SIGNATURE BOWLS, OR IT CAN BE PREPARED IN NUMEROUS WAYS WITH, WITH TOPPINGS AND SAUCES, UM, THAT THAT ARE, ARE, CAN BE BRIGHT AND ON THE BOWL.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE THE TENANT SPACES PROPOSED TO BE FINISHED OUT PRIMARILY FOR THE KITCHEN AND PREP AREA, UM, THERE IS A DINING THAT IS PROPOSED WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE SUITE.

UM, THE TOTAL FLURRY IS A 1,239 SQUARE FEET, UH, SEATING FOR 20 INDOOR.

UM, THERE IS ALSO A SMALL UNCOVER PATIO AREA PROPOSED ON THE EXTERIOR I SHOWED ON THE FLOOR PLAN, UM, THAT WILL INCLUDE A SEATING FOR FOUR.

SO TWO TABLES, UM, WITH FOUR CHAIRS, UM, AS FAR AS PARKING AS STAFF DID DO AN ANALYSIS OF THE PARKING.

UM, THIS, UH, THIS, UH, PLAN OF ELIMINATION REQUIRES A ONE PARKING SPACE FOR EVERY 100 SQUARE FEET FOR RESTAURANT USES, UH, BASED ON THE EXISTING PARKING AVAILABLE AND THE TENANT MIX THAT EXISTS CURRENTLY WITHIN THAT SHOPPING CENTER.

UM, THIS, UH, RESTAURANT DOES COMPLY WITH THE PARKING REQUIRED FOR THIS USE, WHICH IS 13 SPACES, UM, AND NO ADDITIONAL PARKING IS REQUIRED, UH, WITH THE ADDITION OF THIS USE, UM, AS FAR AS, UH, OPEN SPACE AND LANDSCAPING, AS MENTIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT, THIS TENANT SPACES MAKES UP A SMALL PORTION OF THE OVERALL SITE, UM, STAFF, UH, DETERMINED THAT LANDSCAPING SHOULD NOT BE, UM, APPLIED, UH, FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT ON THIS ONE TENANT.

NOW WE ARE BACK

[2. Hold a Public Hearing, Present, Discuss, and Consider Action on a Recommendation regarding an Ordinance on Property Located at 4141 Spring Valley Road, currently zoned R-1 Single Family Dwelling and Planned Development (PD) through Ordinance 084-092, for a Special Use Permit to Allow a New Private School Building. Case 1836-SUP/4141 Spring Valley Road (Greenhill School Science Building).]

CURRENTLY SOME OF THE R ONE SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT THROUGH ORDINANCE 0 8 4 DASH 0 9 2 FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A NEW PRIVATE SCHOOL BUILDING.

AND CAN WE HAVE THE STAFF REPORT PLEASE? GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS 10 SCHMIDT DIRECTOR SERVICES FOR THE TOWN OF MADISON.

UH, GREENVILLE SCHOOL WAS ESTABLISHED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SPRING VALLEY ROAD AND MIDWAY ROAD IN 1959.

UH, THE SITE HAS A MIXED ZONING DESIGNATION, R ONE, UH, RESIDENTIAL, UH, OR THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN A SMALL PORTION OF THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE IS UNPLANNED DEVELOPMENT.

UH, THE BUILD-OUT OF THE CAMPUS HAS, UH, REALLY OCCURRED OVER TIME THROUGH A SERIES OF SPECIAL USE PERMITS AND ADDISON, UH, PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, UH, PROCESS AND ULTIMATELY ATTAIN THAT.

SO AS NEW BUILDINGS AND NEW FACILITIES, UH, WERE PROPOSED TO ACCOMMODATE, UH, THE CAMPUSES GROWTH, UH, THAT'S THOSE SPECIAL USE PERMITS WERE A ULTIMATE LATER VIEW BY THE COMMISSION AND APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL.

UM, SO MOST RECENTLY, UH, YOU'VE HAD A, AN SUP, UH, BEFORE YOU AND APPROVED BY COUNCIL FOR, UH, TEMPORARY, UH, CLASSROOM BUILDINGS.

UH, THOSE ARE, UH, CURRENTLY STATIONED AT THE SOUTHERN FRONT OF THE CAMPUS.

UH, THE PURPOSE OF THAT REQUEST WAS TO, UH, CREATE TEMPORARY CLASSROOM SPACE TO FACILITATE, UH, THE, UM, DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING SCIENCE BUILDING, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1964.

AND THEN, UH, THE RECONSTRUCTION OF A NEW SCIENCE BUILDING, UH, FOR THE CAMPUS.

SO THE REQUESTS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS FOR THAT NEW BUILDING AND THE SITE PLAN THAT YOU SEE ON THE SLIDE, UH, RIGHT NOW, UH, REFLECTS THAT REQUEST.

SO THAT'S A, UH, TWO STORY BUILDING.

UH, IT HAS A CANTILEVER ISLE COERCION THAT EXTENDS, UH, SOUTH TO THE SITES, UH, IN THAT PORTION OF THE BUILDING.

UH, THERE IS A, UH, SOME BASEMENT, UH, THAT WILL ULTIMATELY ALSO SERVE AS A STORM SHELTER, UH, IF IT CAN COMPLY WITH THE TOWN CODES.

AND THEN ALSO YOU SEE, UH, WITHIN THE, UH, MAIN PORTION OF THE BUILDING, YOU SEE, UH, AN OPEN AREA, UH, THAT, UH, IS AN OPEN COURTYARD THAT WILL HAVE SOME, UH, LANDSCAPE, UH, NEW TREES.

AND THEN, UM, WITHIN THE BUILDING, YOU'LL HAVE A RANGE OF SPACES PROGRAM TO SUPPORT THE NEEDS AND STUDENTS THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A MOMENT, UM, ALSO AROUND

[00:35:01]

SO YOU'LL SEE ON THE EAST SIDE, UH, A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EXISTING FIRE LANE, UH, THAT FIRE LANE WILL KIND OF SERVE, UH, NOT ONLY, UH, FOR EMERGENCY ACCESS PURPOSES, BUT WILL ALSO BE DESIGNED IN A MANNER THAT WILL BE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AND REALLY KIND OF LOOK MORE LIKE A SIDEWALK OR TRAIL.

UM, AND THEN, UH, TO THE NORTH AND WEST, WE DO HAVE EXISTING PARKING, UH, THAT WILL NOT BE DISTURBED BY THIS, UH, PROJECT.

SO THESE ARE THE FLOOR PLANS, UH, FOR, UH, THE PROJECT, UH, THE PROPOSED BUILDING.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, UH, JUST OVER 59,000 SQUARE FEET IS PROPOSED A FOREST FOR IS JUST UNDER 29,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND THE SECOND FLOOR IS JUST OVER 30,000 SQUARE FEET.

UM, THE, UM, FLOOR PLAN IS INCLUSIVE OF SIGNIFICANT CLASSROOM SPACE FOR MATH INSTRUCTION, SCIENCE LABS, UH, THERE'S WORKSHOPS AND CREATIVE TYPE OF MAKERSPACES, UH, FACULTY OFFICES, A CAFE ON THE GROUND FLOOR, A GREENHOUSE ON THE EXTERIOR.

THEN OF COURSE, THE COURTYARD THAT WE DISCUSSED AND, UH, STORAGE, UH, FOR, UH, TO SERVE THE FACILITY, YOU CAN SEE WITH THE BASEMENT LEVEL, UH, THERE ON THAT SOUTHERN CANTILEVER, UH, ELEMENT OF THE BUILDING, UH, PROVIDES JUST OVER 7,000 SQUARE FEET, UH, TO SERVE AS THAT STORM SHELTER.

AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER, UH, ACCESSORY USES PROPOSED IN THAT AREA AS WELL.

UH, SO, UH, ONE THING THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO CONSIDER, UH, PARTICULARLY WITH INSTITUTIONAL USES IS PARKING.

UM, SO WITH THAT, UH, IT'S NOT JUST THE CONSIDERATION OF THIS SITE AND THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS OF THE CAMPUS AS A WHOLE.

SO, UH, LOOKING AT THE EXISTING, UH, PARKING SUPPLY AND, UH, WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, UM, BASED ON THIS PROPOSED BUILDING AND THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING BUILDING, UH, 744 PARKING SPACES ARE, ARE REQUIRED ON CAMPUS AND 762 ARE PROVIDED.

I THINK, UH, PROBABLY, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SPEAKS TO THE QUALITY OF THE GREEN HEALTH CAMPUS AND THE QUALITY OF DESIGN IS THAT YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE PARKING ALL CONCENTRATED IN ONE OR SEVERAL AREAS.

THE ONE, A LOT ADJACENT TO THIS SPACE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGER PARKING AREAS ON CANVAS, BUT STILL IT'S VERY WELL DISPERSED.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE, UM, UH, A SITE DESIGN THAT, UH, HAS VERY LARGE PARKING, LOTS THAT HAVE, UH, UH, UH, QUITE A, UH, AESTHETIC IMPACT ON THE APPEARANCE OF THE SITE, UH, WITH THE PROPOSED, UM, BUILDING FACADES, UH, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING, UH, PRIMARILY, UH, A BUILDING CONSTRUCTED OF BRICK, MASONRY, UH, TAN IN COLOR.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO, UM, UH, ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST AND RELIEF, UH, PROVIDED THROUGH, UH, ACCENTS, SUCH AS METAL TROUTS.

UM, IT BEING AN INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING AND AN ESCIENCE BUILDING, UH, THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THERE IS GOOD LIGHTING.

SO THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GLAZING TO INCLUDE SEVERAL PROMINENT GLASS CURTAIN WALL TREATMENTS TO, TO REALLY, UM, PROVIDE, UH, UH, A WELL LIT SPACE FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN.

SO, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ALWAYS COMES UP, UH, WITH OLDER, UH, CAMPUS, UH, ENVIRONMENTS INSTITUTIONAL, UM, ENVIRONMENTS, IS THERE'S ALWAYS, AND REALLY TYPICALLY VERY PROMINENT LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION THROUGHOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE PROJECT.

AND SO WHEN YOU DO HAVE A HIGH-QUALITY LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION DONE ON THE FRONT END OF A PROJECT AS THOSE PROJECTS MATURE AND EVOLVE, UH, AND THAT IS A FINE, LIKE WE'RE, WE'RE SEEING HERE, UH, THERE'S FREQUENTLY CHALLENGES WITH REGARDS TO, UH, TREE PRESERVATION AND ACCOMMODATING SUB-STATE SIGNIFICANT ROOM AND NEEDED ROOM FOR, FOR NEW LANDSCAPE.

SO, UM, REALLY PROBABLY THE MAIN THRUST OF OUR REVIEW FOCUSED ON, UH, TREE MITIGATION, TREE PRESERVATION AND TREE REPLACEMENT NEEDS, BUT THEN ALSO, UH, COMPLIANCE AND THE TOWN'S LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS.

SO JUST TO CONFIRM, UH, IN ADDISON, UH, THE TALENTS TREE MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS PER, UH, REALLY APPLYING TO ALL PROPERTIES, THERE'S NO EXCEPTIONS THAT APPLY.

UM, SO IN THIS CASE, UH, IT WOULD CERTAINLY FULLY APPLY TO THIS REQUEST.

AND THEN WITH REGARDS TO THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS, EVEN THOUGH THE BASE UNDERLYING ZONING IS, UH, RESIDENTIAL AND THERE'S LIMITED APPLICATION OF THE TOWN'S LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH ARE REALLY MORE COMMERCIAL ORIENTED, BECAUSE THIS IS BEING PURSUED AS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, THE TOWN'S

[00:40:01]

FIRST, LET'S START WITH, UH, TREE PRESERVATION AND TREE REMOVAL.

UM, SO I PERFORMED A SITE VISIT, UH, OUT OF THE CAMPUS, UH, THIS MORNING.

UH, ONE THING I WOULD COME IN THE DESIGN TEAM, THEY HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB OF DEALING WITH A VERY CHALLENGING SCENARIO AS IT RELATES TO TREE PRESERVATION, UH, THAT THIS AREA, UH, HAD A SMALLER BUILDING AND THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL AND MATURE TREE CANOPY, UH, IN THIS AREA, THEY HAVE PRESERVED SOME VERY MATURE TREES, BUT, UH, WITH ANY REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, IT SHOULDN'T BE AN EXPECTATION THAT THERE WILL BE SOME TREE LOSS.

SO THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES I'M GOING, GONNA RUN THROUGH WE'LL COVER WHAT THEY NEED TO REMOVE, UH, WHAT THEY PROPOSED TO REMOVE WHAT THEY PROPOSE TO RELOCATE, AND THEN ALSO HOW THEY PLAN TO MITIGATE THAT AND WHAT FURTHER MITIGATION ACTION IS NEEDED.

SO, UH, LOOKING AT THIS IMAGE, UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT IS, IS REALLY THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE SITE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

SO THAT'S, UH, ADJACENT TO THE DRIVE AISLE AND THEN ALSO THE PARKING AREA.

SO THOSE ARE THREE LIVE OAKS, UH, MATURE, UH, HEALTHY THAT ARE PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED.

UM, LOOKING AT THIS IMAGE, THIS IS MORE OF THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE SITE LOOKING SOUTH.

UM, YOU HAVE, UM, BEHIND THAT FENCE, A COUPLE OF SMALL ORNAMENTAL TREES THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED A JAPANESE MAPLES, AND THEN, UH, IN THE CLUSTER OF, UH, TO PICK THEM IN THIS AREA, UH, IT'S IMPACTED NOT ONLY BY THE BUILDING, BUT THE FIRE LANE.

YOU HAVE A SERIES OF LIVE WILD BOOKS, UH, VARYING MATURITY AND SIZE HERE.

YOU HAVE THE FAR EASTERN EDGE OF THE SITE LOOKING SOUTH.

AND ONCE AGAIN, UH, LIVE OAK WAS THE DOMINANT SPECIES IN THIS AREA, AND YOU HAVE SEVERAL SMALLER ONES THAT ARE PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED.

AND THEN HERE YOU HAVE THE SOUTHERN EDGE, UH, TO THE RIGHT OF THAT IMAGE IS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT, UH, CAN DELIVER A PORTION OF THE BUILDING, UH, WILL, UH, EXTEND SOUTH.

AND THEN, UM, UH, THAT WESTERN EDGE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PICTURE IS WHERE, UH, INTERACTION WITH THE, UH, THE MAIN, UH, BUILDING AREA.

SO HERE YOU HAVE SOME, UH, SHIMMERED OAKS, A POST OAK, UH, UH, DEEPER INTO THAT IMAGE.

UM, THEY HAVE A PECAN TREE, WHICH YOU CAN SEE CIRCLED IN GREEN, THAT THEY PROPOSE THE RELOCATE, AND THEN, UM, FURTHEST INTO THAT IMAGE TO THE RIGHT.

YOU HAVE A MATURE TREE THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED BY THE BUILDING.

SO TO, UH, ADDISON, UH, FOR TREES THAT ARE DEEMED QUALITY TREES, WHICH IS EVERYTHING THAT I JUST LISTED IN THOSE PREVIOUS SLIDES, UH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE MITIGATED AT A ONE-TO-ONE RATIO.

SO FOR EVERY INCH OF TREE THAT WAS REMOVED, UH, THEY WOULD BE, NEED TO BE REPLACED OR ADDRESSED IN AN OTHER MANNER, UH, SATISFACTORY WITH THE TOWNS CODES, UH, WITH NEW TREES.

UM, SO GIVEN THAT THESE ARE ALSO MUCH LARGER TREES, UH, IN MOST CASES, THE MINIMUM, UH, PLANTING SIZE FOR THESE NEW TREES WOULD BE EIGHT INCH CALIPER, WHICH IS A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT PLANTING TYPICALLY FOR, UH, CITY CODES.

AND YOU'D BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE IT WITH A THREE TO FOUR INCH CALIPER TREE.

SO COMING IN WITH EIGHT INCHES IS QUITE SUBSTANTIAL.

SO WITH THAT, UH, THEY PROPOSE, UH, A RANGE OF OAK TREE PLANTINGS, AS WELL AS SOME AMERICAN ELMS, UH, TOTALLY, UM, 284 CALIPER INCHES, UH, JUST UNDER 40 NEW TREES PLANTED ON SITE.

AND, UH, IN GENERAL BETWEEN THE TREES THAT THEY PRESERVED, WHICH YOU CAN SEE, UM, OUTLINED, UH, HAVING A MUCH LARGER FOOTPRINT AND THE NUTRIENTS, WHICH YOU SEE ARE GENERALLY HAVE A MUCH SMALLER FOOTPRINT IN THIS IMAGE.

UH, THE BULK OF THE DISTURBED AREA, UH, FOR THOSE PROJECTS AND DEVELOPMENT IMPACT AREA IS BEING LANDSCAPED WITH TREES AND GROUND COVER.

SO THEY'VE DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF ADDRESSING THIS WITH THAT SAID, BECAUSE THIS IS A CHALLENGING SITE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF TREES TO ADDRESS WHAT THEY PROPOSE TO REMOVE ACTUALLY WHAT THEY PROPOSE THE PLANT, THEN THEIR LANDSCAPE PLAN.

UM, THAT DELTA IS JUST OVER 80 INCHES AND THEY'VE PROPOSED, UH, A COUPLE, UM, UH, ONE SCENARIO THAT THEY'D LIKE US TO CONSIDER.

AND THEN STAFF HAS PRESENTED A COUPLE OTHER OPTIONS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER, AND WE'LL GET TO THOSE IN A MOMENT.

UM, SO FIRST I WANT TO TALK ABOUT LANDSCAPE COMPLIANCE NOW AND TRANSITION TO THAT.

UH, I THINK ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT WHEN WE CONSIDER LANDSCAPE COMPLIANCE FOR THIS PARTICULAR

[00:45:01]

SO THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS FROM 1995, THE IMAGE ON THE RIGHT IS FROM 2001.

UM, YOU CAN SEE IN THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT, WHAT IS NOW PERKING IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF THE SCIENCE BUILDING, UH, WAS LANDSCAPE AREA, UM, TO THE SOUTH OF THE SCIENCE BUILDING IN 2001, UH, YOU HAD ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS BEING BUILT, A MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL GYM BEING BUILT SOUTH OF THE NATATORIUM.

SO THE NATURAL IMPACT OF THOSE NEW BUILDINGS WAS THAT YOU NEEDED A NEW PARKING.

HENCE WHY THAT FORMER LANDSCAPE AREA ADJACENT TO THE SCIENCE BUILDING IS NOW A FULLY BUILT PARKING LOT, UH, WITH SOME LANDSCAPING, BUT NOT NECESSARILY TO THE, THE, THE, UM, EFFECT THAT WOULD TYPICALLY BE REQUIRED BY CODE NOW, BUT THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE TOWN AT SOME POINT.

SO WE NEEDED TO DISCUSS THAT ISSUE A LITTLE BIT MORE.

UM, SO FROM A LANDSCAPE COMPLIANCE STANDPOINT, THERE'S REALLY FOUR ELEMENTS THAT COME INTO PLAY WITH TOWNS CODE.

UH, FIRST THERE'S MENTAL LANDSCAPE AREA.

THIS SITE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AT LEAST 20% MINIMUM LANDSCAPE AREA.

AND SO WITH THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT AREA, SO THE SCIENCE BUILDING FOOTPRINT, UH, THEY'RE PROVIDING OVER 20% LANDSCAPE AND AT 30% ACTUALLY, SO WELL ON EXCESS ALUMINUM REQUIREMENT ALSO, UM, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE A STREET LANDSCAPE BUMPER.

SO ALONG HORNET ROAD, WHICH IS A PRIVATE STREET, UH, THEY HAVE STREET TREES AND 20 FOOT WIDE, UH, PARKWAY THAT COMPLIES WITH THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE STREET LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

SO THEY'RE FULLY IN COMPLIANCE THERE IN FRONT OF THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT AREA WHEN YOU GO WEST IN FRONT OF THE PARKING LOT, BUT THEY'RE NOT DISTURBING OR CHANGING.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT LANDSCAPE WAS REMOVED AND THAT OFFER DOES NOT EXTEND IN FRONT OF THAT PARKING LOT.

THE NEXT ITEM WAS PARKING LOT SCREENING.

UM, SO A LOT MUST BE SCREENED FROM ADJACENT STREETS AND GENERALLY THAT'S BY, UH, A FIVE FOOT BUFFER AND, AND, AND SOME, UH, SHRUBS THAT SERVE AS A HEDGE, UM, THIS, UH, PARKING LOT, UH, BASED ON, UH, WHAT, UH, MOVED FORWARD BACK IN THE LATE NINETIES AND EARLY 2007, THE CITY WOULD NOT MEET THAT REQUIREMENT, BUT IT IS NOT IN THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT AREA OF THIS PROJECT.

SO STAFF, UH, WOULD RECOMMEND THAT, UH, THIS PROJECT NOT SERVE AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THAT PARKING LOT IN THE COMPLIANCE.

THERE'S SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPING AROUND IT, IN THE BUFFER AREAS AROUND THE SCHOOL.

UM, IF THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE TO THAT PARKING LOT, THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT TIME TO BRING IT INTO FULL COMPLIANCE.

WE CAN, UH, HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IMPROVING IT, THOSE CERTAINLY.

AND THEN THE LAST ITEM IS PARKING LOT LANDSCAPE.

AND THEN THAT REALLY DEALS WITH INTERIOR LANDSCAPE BASED ON THE SIZE OF THIS PARKING LOT.

8% OF THE INTERIOR WOULD NEED TO HAVE, UM, UH, BE LANDSCAPES AND THINGS LIKE PARKING ISLANDS AND TREES WITHIN THAT.

UH, THERE IS SOME OF THAT IN THIS EXISTING PARKING LOT, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'RE COMPLYING WITH THE CODE.

ONCE AGAIN, NOT IN THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT AREA AND NOT CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE TREATED, UH, TRINITY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY WHEN THEY RECENTLY CAME THROUGH WITH SIMILAR PROJECTS.

SO ONCE AGAIN, STAFF WOULD SUGGEST THAT, UH, READDRESS THAT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

SO GOING BACK TO THE, THE ROMANIAN MITIGATION, THAT 80.8 INCHES, UH, WE WOULD PRESENT, UH, SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER, UH, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED A CONSIDERATION AND THEY WOULD ULTIMATELY NEED TO PROVE THIS UP.

UH, THEY HAVE YET TO, TO THIS POINT, UH, TO ALLOW FOR CREDIT, UH, FOR PLANTINGS THAT THEY HAVE RECENTLY MADE, UH, ON CAMPUS AS PART OF THEIR ARBOR DAY, UH, UH, CELEBRATIONS, UH, THEY WOULD NEED TO, UH, PRIOR TO, UH, ANY SITE WORK COMMENCING ON THIS SITE, PROVIDE A LIST AND, AND, UH, LOCATION AND TYPE OF SPECIES AND SIZE, UH, THAT WERE PLANTED, UH, REFLECTING, UH, UH, WHAT WAS DONE AND HOW IT, UH, UH, MET THAT 80.8 INCH MITIGATION REQUIREMENT, ALTERNATIVELY, UH, THEY COULD PLANT, UH, THOSE TREES, THOSE REPLACEMENT TREES ELSEWHERE ON CAMPUS, OR PERHAPS IN THE PARKING LOT, THAT'S ADJACENT TO THIS SITE.

AND THEN THE THIRD OPTION, WHICH IS WHAT WE APPLIED WITH TCA WAS PAYMENT INTO THE TREE REPLACEMENT BOND, UH, AT A RATE OF $170, $75 PER CALIPER RANCH.

AND THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO, UM, NUTRI PLANT DEANS PERFORMED BY THE PARKS DEPARTMENT IN PUBLIC SPACES, SUCH AS PARKS AND, UH, STREET RIGHT OF WAY.

SO STAFF DIDN'T NOTICE THIS CASE IN

[00:50:01]

UH, 84 AND NOTICES WERE SENT OUT AND WE RECEIVED ONE RESPONSE, UH, IN SUPPORT OF A PROJECT.

UH, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS REQUEST, UH, SUBJECT TO DIRECTION FROM THE COMMISSION AND DIALOGUE WITH THE APPLICANT, UH, RELATED TO, UH, HOW THEY WOULD FULFILL THAT, UH, REMAINING, UH, TREATMENT OBLIGATION HAVE YET TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AND THE APPLICANT AND THEIR DESIGN TEAM IS HERE AS WELL.

TONIGHT, I CAN, THEN I HAVE ONE INMATES.

UM, HAVE YOU DISCUSSED THOSE THREE OPTIONS WITH THEM AT THIS TIME? UH, WE'VE DISCUSSED TWO OF THE THREE, UM, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, JENNIFER, HAVE YOU DISCUSSED THE SECOND OPTION PLANTINGS ELSEWHERE? SORRY.

SO I HAVE HAD DISCUSSION WITH THE APPLICANT ABOUT PLANTING, UM, TREES ELSEWHERE THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS.

UM, AND, AND THERE MAY BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT ACCORDING TO, UM, DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT.

UM, HOWEVER THOSE LOCATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THIS POINT, CORRECT ME IF I'M, IF IT GOES INTO THE FUND THAT'S TO BE USED ANYWHERE OPEN TO THE CITY'S DISCRETION, NOT FORCED BACK INTO THAT IMMEDIATE AREA, CORRECT.

THAT IS, THAT IS CORRECT.

UM, FROM A PRACTICAL MATTER, UH, WE GENERALLY, AND THIS EXTENDS TO THINGS LIKE PARK FEES AS WELL.

WE GENERALLY TRY TO DO IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE IF THERE'S A PROJECT ADJACENT, THE GREEN HANDLE THAT WOULD PROBABLY RECEIVE PRIORITY VERSUS SOMETHING, UM, SAY AT THE SERVICE CENTER KIND OF QUESTION FOR THE KEN, UM, IS, UM, MAYBE I'LL DISCUSS THIS EARLIER, ARE THE TREES THAT THEY ARE RECOMMENDING TO PLANT OR THE SAME KIND OF TREES THAT WERE BEING TAKEN UP, UH, VERY SIMILAR IN MOST CASES, LOTS OF OAK TREES, ALL QUALITY TREES AND APPROVED TREES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TOWNS LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS DEFINITELY HAD MUCH SUCCESS PUTTING THOSE DOLLARS TO WORK THAT ARE IN THAT PHONE.

I MEAN, MY MATH IS RIGHT.

IT'S LIKE $14,000.

WE HAD MUCH SUCCESS IN ACTUALLY GETTING, GETTING THE TOWN, SOME OF THOSE.

SO, UH, SAY THE TCA, UM, UH, PROJECT, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU ALL KNOW THAT THEY, UH, CONTRIBUTED FUNDS, UH, TO THAT REPLACEMENT FUND.

UM, NOT WHERE THOSE ARE PLANNED AND PROGRAMMED.

UM, WE'RE NOT READY TO PLANT THEM YET, UM, BECAUSE THEY RELATED TO UPCOMING CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR, UH, AIRPORT PARKWAY, UM, AS WELL AS TELLER SPRINGS.

UM, SO WE'RE NOT READY FOR THOSE YET.

I WOULD NEED TO CHECK IN WITH OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT, UH, UH, ONE OF THE, UM, LOCATIONS, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY WAS A QUORUM PARK.
