Um kind of the rules how we conduct our meetings when we get to a line item that's our subject for you to to want to speak on. There was a signup sheet. You have an opportunity. We'll call on your name on that item. Get you to come forth and uh state your name, address, and any concerns you may have pertaining to that album. I mean that uh item. We'll give you three minutes on that. Uh, first for discussion is going to be acknowledgement of the official communications of the Columbia City Council on annexation and zoning.

15:08 – 16:28Speaker 1

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. So, there were a few items that council considered um being forwarded to them from this body. The first one um was 4559, an ordinance to reszone the property fronting Tom Hitch Parkway. That was a resoning request to a CD4 and a 4C um from the current CD3 that's there now. If you recall, that was the one that had um basically dealing with a map correction correction and that was on for second consideration, final consideration which passed. Also for second consideration was 4560 which was amending the development standards regarding parking standards where we adjusted those. Uh there were a couple of items on first consideration. The ordinance 4563 which was the adoption of W's Edge preliminary pud master plan there off of River Road did fail on first consideration. Ordinance 4564 which was to reszone property off of Lasia Road to a CD3 district. Um that did receive a positive vote. Moving on to second consideration where the annexation will be considered with it. And those are all the items in front of council.

16:25 – 17:05Speaker 1

Thank you, Mr. Kelner. Uh, next item is going to be the approval of the minutes from last month's meeting. Uh, everyone should have an opportunity to those. Move for approval. Second. I have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Seeing none, we'll call the vote. Vice Mayor Miss Groom. Hi, Dr. Martin. I, Mr. Sloan. I, Mr. Goat. I minutes are approved. Uh, next time is going to be the review of bonds and letters of credit. Uh, thank you, Mr. Chairman. All letters of credit are in order or in the process of being updated.

17:03 – 18:01Speaker 1

Thank you. Any questions, Mr. Harper? Seeing none, going to take us to our consent items. Uh, we have three items on consent. I did see where a citizen had signed up for one of the items. So I will pull that item out. That's going to be item number one on consent. And we'll move that down if possible to item number one of discussion. And I'll go ahead and read the other two items of consent u for that. So uh for consent items request from Abigail Over Street for final plat approval with shy in amount of $570,000 for Hillrest Village phase 3 located at tax map 113 parcel 80.50 50 off Marorrow Lane and Rolling Brook Drive. And then uh on our agenda on a consent items number three is going to be request from Alan Oir for final plat approval with shity in the amount of $690,000 for Mccclure Farms Town Homes phase 2 at tax mount 51 parcel 6 off Nashville Highway.

18:05 – 18:48Speaker 1

Make a motion to approve. I'll second that motion. Um, any discussion? Seeing none, we'll call the vote on those. I, Dr. Morty, I, Mr. I, Mr. Go, I, those items pass. And uh so I'll go straight to discussion items starting with the first item that was on consent being gone being the request from Lynn Elely for final plat approval with shy in amount of $915,000 for Heritage Green phase one located off tax map 74 parcel 37 off Baker Road.

18:46 – 19:22Speaker 1

Yeah, I'd like the case planner to go ahead and start with that before we call on the citizen to Jeremy. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening everyone. This uh this is before you today just to make the final plat to record that in uh in my staff report. I do note that it does conform to the preliminary plat. It's already been previously approved. So thank you for that. Uh Jeremy, just a clarification. So it conforms with all previously approved preliminary plat. It does. Okay. Thank you. We do have I believe it's uh Mr. David Henson that signed up on that item.

19:23 – 20:00Speaker 1

Thank you. Just had a couple of questions. Uh, when can we anticipate a traffic light being put to Baker Road? I'll defer that to you, anybody, Mr. Harper. Yes, sir. Mr. Harper, can you answer that question? Sure. So, with the phase two plat, the next plat coming with this development, we will start looking at um the traffic and see if it warrants the signal at that point. We assume it should. And so then the traffic signal will be coming uh with the next final plat. So, we'll be months out then, correct? At least. Yes, sir.

19:57 – 20:25Speaker 1

Okay. All right. And do you have uh can anybody speak to the the development itself? How many I know they discussed this in the in the preliminary meetings. How many square foot are the houses facing the road going to be? Do you have a range? No, sir. It's not a We don't have a requirement. Okay. On that. I think that on that one, just so I recall, those lots were going to be larger lots.

20:22 – 20:53Speaker 1

They are larger. Yeah, they are. And and other the uh and I don't know if you're familiar with the the the plant out there or not. I live right there by it, so I go look at it pretty much every day. They uh there's three roads. There's Baker Road, Caddy Crossing, and then there's Par Place. The houses on Par Place where they face east or west. It's Caddy Crossing like an alley where they they gain access to it.

20:48 – 21:31Speaker 1

Pull up that plat. Yeah. Which uh which streets were you referring to? Uh, of course, Baker Road. I know they're facing the front. The next road back is C Caddy Crossing. It's not as wide as the main streets. And then there's the par place. Yes, sir. So, Caddy Crossing is an alley.

21:29 – 22:11Speaker 1

Okay. So those are for rear loaded homes. That answers my question on that. And Mr. Harper, any idea when the second phase will start? Are they going to complete all the houses in phase one before they start start on phase two or do you know? Uh that'll be up to the the developer when they want to bring it in. I thought I remember him saying that's the way they built their homes. I didn't didn't know whether or not. That's all I had. I appreciate you. Thank you, M. Hansen. Thank you for for questions. All right. Uh any other questions of staff on that item? Seeing none, knowing it conforms to uh to the preliminary plat, I'll make a motion to approve as presented. Subject to any technical comments. Second.

22:10 – 22:48Speaker 1

Second by Dr. Martin. Any further discussion? Seeing none, we'll call the vote. Vice Mayor Mc I. Dr. Martin, I. Mr. Sloan, I. Mr. Goat I. That item passes. It's going to bring us to discussion items. Um, item number one now on our agenda was one we just discussed. So, I'll go straight to number two. Request from Emily Zeller for final P final PUD master plan approval of lot 3 in the villages of Carter Creek PUD located at 2425 Nashville Highway and Napa Valley Way being a portion of tax map 51, parcel 22.03.

22:48 – 24:48Speaker 1

Thank you, Mr. Goats. This request here is just the final step for the proposed uh Wawwa gas station located on Nashville Highway. The planning commission did give favorable recommendation in the preliminary PUD back on September 11th of 24. Uh that did move on to city council. However, from the uh planning commission approval and the city council approval, the applicant had revised their site plan to be into conformance with the zoning ordinance, particularly with the gas canopy and where it's located at. So, if you all recall, we had a lot of discussion during the preliminary PU meeting about uh the ordinance requirements and all gas canopies being located in the third layer. Uh the planning commission did give a positive recommendation without it being in the third layer. Again, they brought it to council showing it is within the third layer. Uh nevertheless, the uh final PUD plan conforms to what planning commission has approved regarding the elevations orientation and layout. Uh, one thing that would like to note, however, is during the preliminary pled master plan, we didn't really delve quite deep into the freestanding sign. They did show a location of where the proposed monument sign was going to be located at, which did meet the ordinance. However, they are proposing a lowprofile monument sign. Uh with this request, the applicant gave us many renditions of signage and we did ask them if they could possibly just pick one. However, um the monument sign changes really delved into the location of where the LED prices were located. So I think to make it a very clean request, uh all of the monument signs proposed are right

24:46 – 25:25Speaker 1

under 50 square feet. It looks like these two here are 49.87 square feet. And so with any approval, staff would just recommend that the motion include the monument sign as proposed u being no more than 50 square feet. And the reason why the 50 square feet comes in is because um uh any commercial corridor monument sign has a 50% a 50 square ft maximum on it. So that's just taking in precedent from the zoning ordinance.

25:24 – 25:45Speaker 1

Just to make sure I understand that right. Looking at those signs, it looks like they start on about page 16 of that package and some of those are really tall. Those would not be ones that meet that 50 square feet. No sir. Okay. So the request would need to be understood that it's just for the monument signs only, which I think on page 26 of that package.

25:44 – 26:10Speaker 1

That's right. And you can kind of tell when you go through the package, there's all these different locations about where the pricer sign goes. And sometimes that gets into subjectivity. Again, as a pud, you do have the prerogative to delve deep into what sign you like. It it just may be cleaner if the request can be monument sign as proposed, uh, 50 square feet or less.

26:07 – 26:30Speaker 1

Okay. Well, I want to thank the applicant for I think at the previous at the planning commission meeting, I remember it did pass. There was some lengthy discussions about it being able to conform to the ordinance and I think I may have even made the motion like please work harder to try to do it. So, thank you for continuing to make it um I'm not sure which one, you know, or who's with the applicant, but

26:29 – 27:14Speaker 1

yeah. Okay. Thank you for doing that and making it conform more to the ordinance. So, you heard the staff on the on the monument sign. So, I'll make a motion to approve um with the condition that it be one of the 50 ft or less monument signs that are presented here. You know, where you put the uh LED lights specific on that probably I guess as staff saying is up to you, you know, depending on how the it lays out, but would it be one of those 50 footer square foot monument signs that's presented? So, that's my motion. Second. We have a second. Any discussion? Seeing none, we'll call the vote. Hi, ma'am. Mcroom. Hi, Dr. Martin. Hi, Mr. Sloan. Hi, Miss W. Mr. Goat.

27:11 – 28:08Speaker 1

I That item passes. It's going to take us to request number three. Request from Emily Zeller for preliminary and final plat approval of the villages at Carter Creek, lot two and three located at 2425 Nashville Highway being tax map 51, parcel 22.03. Thank you, Mr. Goats. This request is simply a lot split of an existing lot uh where the current WAW wall is located at its one contiguous lot and they're just proposing to split it off and create two lots. Therefore, this is why this is coming to you u as a preliminary and final plat together because there's no public infrastructure that's involved. They are proposing a PUD access easement that'll be built behind the lots to give through access from Napa Valley Way to the secondary drive on the south there.

28:06 – 28:50Speaker 1

Curiosity, not relevant to the reasons of this, but is the YW why are they going to acquire both lots or is it just to basically subdivide it for their for the lot they're going to build on? Uh, it's good question. Yeah, it's to subdivide it for the lot that they're going to build on. And then there's going to be a residual lot to the south. Uh not certain on what's going to go on that lot. Gotcha. But it is setting it up for a future development on that lot and has the easement you mentioned to get to get access to it. Yes, sir. Yeah. Okay. Make a motion to approve. I'll second that motion. Any discussion? Seeing none, we'll call the vote. Vice Mayor McLean. Hi, Dr. Hi,

28:49 – 29:24Speaker 1

Mr. Sloan. Hi, Mr. Goat. I That item passes. Uh, item four on our agenda. I'll read it, but looks like applicants requesting a deferral request from Michael Williams for revision of the previously approved Heritage Village multifamily site development plan located at Santa Fe Pike and River Heights Drive being tax map 89E, group B, partial 20. And as noted, the applicant is requesting a deferral. Um, can we ask why the deferral or we can only talk about because it's getting

29:21 – 29:46Speaker 1

that's fine. Um, the the reason for the deferral primarily it was staff driven. Uh, we did discuss it with the applicant. Initially, the request was to uh realign the multifamily buildings. There was a concern about a 16 was a 16 inch water line

29:42 – 30:34Speaker 1

water line that uh was on the site and CPWs apparently had some concern about the building in relationship to that water line and they were concerned about uh if there was going to be a temporary shut off that would cause a lot of issues for nearby customers. And then during the review, staff did notice that the elevations of the buildings were significantly different uh than what was initially approved. During our DRC, staff did request to submit elevations and it was assumed during discussion with the applicant that they would be the same elevations, just a minor uh readjustment of the building and the elevations were completely different. So staff needs more time to discuss with the architect what our zoning ordinance is required before it comes before y'all.

30:35 – 31:03Speaker 1

I make a motion to defer. Second. Any discussion? We'll call the vote. Vice Mayor McRone. I. Dr. Martin. I. Mr. SL. I. Mr. Go. I. Uh, that item is deferred. And now we have Miss Williams with us. Welcome. Great. Couldn't have came at a more perfect time. Perfect time. Yeah.

31:01 – 31:43Speaker 1

Uh so that's going to bring us to our um next item on our agenda tonight. Request from Adam. Item number five, request from Adam Krunk for annexation with plan of services approval and with requested zoning designation of CD3L large lot neighborhood character district and civic u being tax map 112 partial 17 including a comprehensive land use designation amendment from rural countryside to suburban neighborhoods for property at tax map 112 partial 18.02 02 along with a portion of the property at tax map 112 partial 17 both of which are located off Foster Lane chairman. Oh, sorry.

31:41 – 31:57Speaker 1

Um I'm going to have to abstain from this. My so there will not be a conflict of interest. My family owns a piece of property right next to this. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Vice Mayor will be abstaining on this item. Staff.

31:55 – 33:49Speaker 1

Thank you, Mr. Goats. Uh, regarding this item, the applicant is requesting a annexation with a CD3L zoning. A CD3L zoning is only uh permitted per our comprehensive plan within the suburban neighborhood's future land use. Thus, the reason why they're they're asking for this comp plan amendment amendment. As you can see here on the screen, we have our rural transitions future land use within our comp plan. and it is notating that this uh property does fall within that rural transition area. Uh the applicant did provide a section of the property that met the comp plan regarding hillside and natural spaces. These are areas within the city that we have identified as being ecologically sensitive, more particularly a hillside that is 775 ft or greater. The ordinance requires you to designate that as civic space. And so within their concept plan and subsequent legal description, they did notate that as being civic's place as required for the comp plan. And then lastly, one of the considerations that staff does review within the comp plan regarding uh annexations and zonings is this area of change map. As you can see here, this area has been designated as a protect zone. So simply put, that means that uh minimal changes to the established land use uh shall occur. And so those are the primary reasons uh staff does have concern with this request because it doesn't meet our uh comprehensive plan policy as outlined. would like to note just one additional point uh from the previous requests that we've heard is this does include uh proposed easements uh from the neighboring property to the north for future utility and uh infrastructure access. Thank you.

33:50 – 35:47Speaker 1

Thank you. I see we have uh Mr. Jack Mayor that's uh signed up on the list here. Thank you for allowing me to speak. Uh Jack Mayer with John May builders addresses 3000 Reserve Boulevard in Spring Hill. Um I just wanted to give a little character on the company and this project that we've been working on. Um this year Johnare Builders, we're celebrating 40 years uh as a company building houses. Uh 35 of those we've been building in Spring Hill. Uh we're preparing to pave our first major development in Colombia as we speak. That's going to be on Bear Creek. And so we're we're excited to be moving into this area and getting started here. Um with this project specifically, we've been working with uh staff and the surrounding property owners for three years uh to help uh make this more of a master plan development to help make it possible. One of the initial concerns uh that we heard from the city was um the Casey Drive sewer and that there was uh there had been rehab there and they didn't want this development going through there. And so we worked with our two northern property owners to um uh constru for a planned construction and funding of a pump and a force man to go around that to satisfy uh that requirement so that we're not using that um that sewer line that's been rehabbed. Um, and I know you guys have considered this project before, and so I want to concentrate on some of the things that have changed since then. Um, I I know this area is designated as a a rural transition area. And so we've tried to reflect that in this submitt. Um, our two northern pieces of property, they have a max zoning per acre of four units per acre. And so what our plan proposes is 1.62 units per acre. Uh, so it's a significant step down from that density. And we feel it it meets the spirit of that uh transition zone. Um and it's a

35:46 – 36:57Speaker 1

significant amount of units less than our last proposal. And so um with the coordinated infrastructure, with the the um with the reduction in our zoning, the other the other concerns that we've heard are water. Uh we have an unconditional water letter from CPWS as well as plans to build an additional water main uh all the way from Trotwood, which is required after the first 80 homes, which should satisfy any farther water requirements on this site. And then the only other thing we heard last time was access access. And we've got easements in place uh from the property owner to our north where we have the ability uh to construct roads, to construct infrastructure, to do everything we have to do to access this property. So that's it. I appreciate you guys uh considering this and uh hopefully um we'll we'll be able to get going here shortly. Thank you guys. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Brass, the rural uh transition designation um what does it allow? Just CD2.

36:54 – 37:33Speaker 1

So the implementing districts are uh CD2 and civic. Those are the two. And then of course we have uh one density unit per acre and then parks and greenways, occasional civic space, private yards. Those would be the implementing standards straight from the comp plan and amending the comp plan to allow as requested a CD3L. That's opening up and amended. You're basically amending the comp plan to change it to suburban neighborhood which would allow even further denser densities than just the CD3L that's requested. Is that accurate?

37:31 – 38:02Speaker 1

That is that is correct. Suburban neighborhood would also allow a CD3. Of course, they are requesting a CD3L, but it would permit a CD3. Also, maybe I'll ask Mr. Mayor, have you considered CD2 to conform to the comp plan? I think that's limited to one unit per acre. I think your acreage is about 88. So that would get your unit count down to 88.

38:00 – 38:57Speaker 1

Yeah, it would uh it is something we've looked at. Um uh certainly from a a cost perspective, it it adds in a level of complexity and a level of cost. Uh it would result in uh if we could make it work from a development perspective. our struggle. Um, much like many developers, when we go from CD3 to CD3L, as in this proposal, our actual roads and streets and infrastructure that we construct did not change. Um, so our cost stays the same, which means more expensive lots and more expensive houses. Uh, and it's not our desire to build the most expensive house possible. We'd like to build houses that are affordable. And so, um, it's something we've considered, but I think, uh, in respect to the end product, uh, it would force it into a a price point that, um, we would prefer not to be in. We'd prefer to build a a more reasonably priced affordable home here. Uh, would be our preference.

38:55 – 39:38Speaker 1

You have a question? Well, it looks like CD2 the minimum is 125. It doesn't look like you have many lots that are under 125. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think it would limit it just the gross acreage. So the gross Yeah. CD2 would allow I think 125 ft lot widths and 12,500 square foot lots which may exceed or be equivalent to what you've got. You would just have to reduce the the lot count. The lots are very similar. Yeah. It would just be the the count. That's right. Would a study of that have made the possibly laid the streets out in a different manner to where it wouldn't have been as much cost associated with laying out the streets? We've we've played with it. uh not significantly uh from what we've looked at so far not significantly.

39:37 – 40:21Speaker 1

And the reason I'm asking these questions, Mr. Mayor, is just from the simplicity of a lot of time went into adopting that comp plan. We we we went a long time with an old comp plan and we were amending the comp plans left and right. I mean, we're guilty of it and, you know, and and so with staff, you know, spending almost two years in in in kind of creating this comp plan, getting a steering committee put together, having special called meetings with the public and taking public input, having joint session meetings with with planning commission and city council, it just seems awfully quick to start amending comp plans right out of the gate again since we just adopted this last year. You know, that's my my concerns. That's why I was asking if CD2 because I don't really have as much opposition to annexations as much as conforming to the comp plan. Yeah. May I respond?

40:21Speaker 1

Yes, please.

40:21 – 41:12Speaker 1

The the only thing I would say to that I appreciate that. Uh obviously I think I think we're all in favor of changing as as few things as possible. Um and the only thing I would say is I think our project meets the spirit of that intention where you've got two projects to the north of us uh that are allowed to do four units per acre. We're coming in at 1.61 or 1.62 units per acre. And so I think from an intentionality of a transitional zone, I feel like that's a significant step down in density, uh, as was pointed out, our lot size is fairly consistent with CD2. Um, and so I feel like we meet the intention of what's in the code. Uh, the code just just doesn't currently allow this. And so, uh, we we would ask that it be changed, but I my big intention would be I think we're meeting the spirit of that.

41:08 – 41:26Speaker 1

Thank you for that response. Um, any other questions, Mr. Mayor? I mean, nobody's held to this layout, right? Concept plan. Yeah. And exactly this was presented here.

41:24 – 42:30Speaker 1

I think that's what's tricky is it it's we appreciate your thought that went into it. I think we've seen in this body several things that come back to us later um that don't meet the original intent and then we have to stomach what just the cards that we've been dealt. Um um the only if I can respond to that that frustrates me as much as it frustrates you. promise because we see a lot of the developments get approved with things that are all awesome and we all want to see and then they get amended later. We've seen it time and time again. I'm not aware of a time in our history where we've ever come back and significantly amended anything where it wasn't 100% necessary due to development or anything like that. So, we have zero intention on amending this uh in any significant way whatsoever. And again, I know there's still the opening that we can, but that's certainly not what we've done in the past and not not the reputation that we would like to have in our first single family neighborhood in Colombia.

42:28Speaker 1

Yeah. No, and I and I appreciate that. I think that,

42:31 – 43:17Speaker 1

you know, um you you definitely seem like a good, you know, trustworthy person on that, you know, you know, from our side where we see as soon as you walk out and get approved, it gets flipped to somebody else and then next thing you know, they're coming in here asking for CD3, CD4, you know, because now the comp plan's amended and all that stuff. So that's the that's one of the risks I'm trying to avoid and that's why I wanted to ask and see if there's any chance whatsoever CD2 would be a consideration because at that point we're not amending the comp plan where we're we're more bound to that you know that's the max density you're going to be able to achieve with that you even if it did flip or even if you did want to relay out certain streetscapes and things of that nature it makes that transition to that farm that's to the south of it you know even and it even further protects that natural hillside you know portion of it and all that stuff too. So, that was kind of the, you know, where I'm where I'm at on that. So,

43:16Speaker 1

no, I understand.

43:17 – 44:08Speaker 1

Yeah. Any any other questions of of uh Mr. Mayor on that and I know whatever happens here today, we're just a recommending body, you know, so um whatever the decision is here, you have the right to take it on to city council. I think that needs to be pointed out. Correct. Yeah. So, um, you know, from from whatever that decision is, but, um, I guess I'll start with making, um, I mean, as I stayed here, I was hoping you might say, you know what, Charlie, I would consider that CD2 and let's, uh, let's let's look at that, you know. So, with that being said, if we're we're going with the amended comp plan as I, as I've kind of been, you know, saying here along, I don't really want to start amending those just yet. So, I'm going to make a motion to deny the request on CD3L and the comp plan amendment. Is it not conforming to the to the to the comp plan?

44:07 – 44:46Speaker 1

I'll stated in yeah 8.520 whichever one it is you know F2 which whichever one that talks about amending the comp plan not conforming to the comp plan. That's the criteria item of which my motion's based on. So sorry I pull up that staff report and lay it out a little better. 8.519H4 where it says the reasoning is consistent not in conflict of the comp plan and it it is in conflict. So if I may throw up one more thing we have motion

44:44 – 45:28Speaker 1

we have a motion on the floor see if we get a second and we can open it back up for discussion and it may fail for no second. We'll see. I'll second. Have a second by Miss Williams. Now we can open up for discussion. So Mr. Mayor you may comment. The only other thing I would say to that is we entered into that uh comp plan amendment with our property uh with the property directly north of us and they currently have a CD3 zoning and they're in the same uh rule designation as us currently. And so they've they've got the same they've there's an inconsistency there which is something that we're trying to rectify with that amendment. And so um that it's another component of this that just I think considering

45:26 – 46:11Speaker 1

and I appreciate you pointing that out. And I think the only kind of counter response to that is is the property to the north of you um was kind of already annexed and zoned and and and had entitlement rights, you know, as as it stood, you know, there of that nature. So, I appreciate that that comment back. Um so, we did have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, we will call the vote on that. Vice Mayor saying, Dr. I I I think you said I did. You Yes. I Miss

46:12 – 47:18Speaker 1

I motion passes. Thank you. going to bring us our next item on our agenda tonight is um other business I believe. Yeah. Any other business to discuss? Just a note for the commission on Tuesday, November 18th from 4 to 6, we will be conducting a board of zoning appeals education session. Uh Sam Edwards, he will be conducting that education session. He is a land use attorney, very well recognized here in Tennessee and does does speak at a lot of different functions. And so if anybody is willing to attend, it's 4 to 6 on Tuesday the 18th. And then keep in mind it will be BZA centric. So basically the role of board of zoning appeals. However, I think some of the uh legal ramifications of being a planning commissioner may apply um in some regard. So, I think it'll be a good opportunity if anybody would like to attend.

47:14 – 47:29Speaker 1

Could I ask for maybe an an email um reminder of that or something? That way, I don't have calendar invite would be great. If there's I don't It don't matter. That sounds excellent. Yeah. Thanks.

47:26 – 48:13Speaker 1

And then uh also on the 20th, November 20th, we'll be having a open house at the Dr. Martin Center regarding the healthy built environment grant that we received. So basically what it is, it's a plan that promotes healthy living within the East Columbia neighborhood and that is also from 4 to 6 and that's on November 20th. And so Kimley Horn is our consultant that we're working with. We did have an initial initial kickoff meeting and this is really to share uh the ideas from the kickoff meeting with the goal of seeking further grants that promote healthy living within East Colombia albeit sidewalks uh you know amenity areas within parks and things of that nature.

48:13 – 48:37Speaker 1
