Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

Good afternoon. I will call this meeting to order. Today is July 7th. This is the regular meeting of the Fargo Planning Commission. Couple announcements. Item 4A and 4B, the subdivision and zone change for Block 40 addition located at 6711 and 6801 38th Street South are continued to August 4th. planning commission agenda. There'll be no presentation today and no action taken today if you're here for Alpha and for Bravo. Also, I'd like to take a moment to recognize Commissioner Mohs. This will be his last meeting. Just want to thank you very much to your service to the Planning Commission, City of Fargo, your work on the LDC. We appreciate your time, thoughts, and commitment given to our great City of Fargo. And on behalf of the Commission, we wish you the best. So those are the changes to the agenda. Is there a motion?

So moved.

I have a motion, do I have a second? Second. Motion to second. And the second, all those in favor signify by saying aye.

Aye.

All opposed, same sign. Motion carried. Now moving on to the minutes of the regular meeting of June 2nd, 2026. Everyone had a chance to look at the minute. Any changes, discussion? If not, I'll entertain a motion.

Move approval.

Second. A motion and a second. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. All opposed, same sign. Motion carried. Moving on to public hearing items. Item one is an application requesting a plat of Champion's Gate at Prairie Farm's fourth edition. Donald Kress to present.

Thank you, ma'am. Good afternoon, commissioners. Donald Kress of the Department of Planning and Development. Our first item here is Champions Gate at Prairie Farms 4th Edition, which is located on 31st Street South. Here's, if you'll follow my cursor, please, here's I-29, 52nd Avenue here, and City of Frontier right here. This property does back up to the City of Frontier. Here are some views of the project here from yesterday, looking south along 31st. One of these properties does include the subdivision sign for the subdivision. The landscape guys are out there working there. And then this view is looking west here. This is a driveway along the front of the subdivision there. So there aren't so many driveways on the 31st. There's an internal road. And where this stops is where the lot two would be. So this is where future residents will be. On the other side of the trees, these houses in the background are in the city of Frontier. Zoning here is SR3 and no zone change is proposed. the flat combines the two lots here uh... this has had a uh... history of of being replied i'll show you a slide on that in a minute uh... but this this lot the current owner determined that even though this is a large lot he has a large buildable area after you subtract out the setbacks it is a difficult one to build of the kind of house he wants to build here so instead of just leaving this as an HOA or potentially orphan lot, decided to combine it with lot one here and then also vacate this easement, this access easement. That's why you saw the street or the driveway stopping back here. This point here is is this point here on the plot. So just combine these two lots, build one residence there. Just for the Commission's background, this has been replatted a few times. It started out as seven lots as part of the original Prairie Farms addition. 2018, it was replatted to 25 lots, so the subject property is right about here. And then in 2025, it was replatted into 11 lots. And then this lot was actually divided into two more lots, just for your commission's background here. The project representative, the project engineer, Brian Pattengale of Houston Engineering is with us this morning, or this afternoon, may wish to address the commission. We did get one inquiry from a neighboring property owner in Frontier. I talked to that gentleman this morning, and he just wanted to know what was going on there, and I talked to him, sent him a graphic of how this lays out near his property, and that apparently took care of his concerns. The recommended motion is stated in your staff report and shown on the screen. Thank you, commissioners.

Thank you, Donald. Commissioners, any questions for Donald? Do we have any questions for Mr. Pattengill? No? Seeing none, okay, let's go ahead and open up public hearing. Anybody wish to speak on this item? Item one, anybody wish to speak on this item? Seeing none, let's close the public hearing. Commissioners?

I move to approve the motion of the staff.

We have a motion. Do I have a second? Second. We got that? Any discussion on said motion? Go ahead and take the roll. Gwaii?

Mose?

Aye. Casa? Aye. Motion carries. Moving on to agenda item number two. Hearing on an application requesting a plat of Berg edition, Donald, to present.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Item two is the Berg edition, and this is an industrially zoned property located here on Fifth Avenue South, 23rd Street. For reference, here's the intersection of Main Avenue and 25th Street. So it's over here a little bit. There's city-owned facilities, shops nearby. And here's the site here. Just looking along Fifth Avenue. It's a long properties. We have to take a few different views here as you see it's mainly used for truck parking Berg trucking is is located here. They have the shops and offices at the at the east side of the property The zoning there is all limited industrial no zone change is proposed this is a replat of parts of Tyler's Edition which was originally planted in 1882 and which are the underlying lines here and over the time that this has been in place here there's been some modifications here 22nd street which ran through this property was vacated this alley here in the middle of the block was vacated so thus the lengthy legal description of these lots the vacated street and the vacated alley basically just combining these into two large lots the use of truck parking we understand will continue Berg trucking will remain here and that this lot will be used for truck parking and At the request of the city an additional easement was added here between the two utility easements for water and sewer just to Be able to access those in the future if any work needs to be done on those you can't build Structures over them anyway, but just to keep them Keep it all in one in one place really big easement effectively. We did get one in-person inquiry yesterday afternoon from a nearby property owner across the alley just wondering what was going on. We talked to her and explained the situation and she did not have any further concerns. The applicant's representative Justin Berg came to drop off the plot.

I don't know if he's

Oh, there. Yeah, Mr.. Berg Justin Berg is here this afternoon He is the representative and he may wish to address the commission Otherwise our recommendation is stated in the staff report and shown on your screen that concludes our presentation.

Thank you commissioners Thanks, Donald commissioners any questions for Donald No, do we have any questions for the applicant? Do you have anything to add? Okay, let's go ahead, open up public hearing. Anybody wish to speak on this item? Item number two, anybody wish to speak on item number two? Close public hearing, commissioners. I'll move the recommended motion. Second. Motion and a second. Any discussion on the motion?

Okay, go ahead and take the roll, please. Betlock?

Aye.

Nass? Aye. Mose?

Aye.

Lai? Aye. Schmidt? Aye. Geordry? Aye. Stauffern? Aye. Tassa? Aye. Motion carries.

Next, thanks Donald. Next item, number three, hearing on an application requesting a plat of Christensen 32nd Avenue South, fourth edition. Luke to present.

Thank you, Commissioners. Luke Mormon at the Planning Department. Item 3 on your agenda is located at 3102 and 3150 36th Street South. If you follow my cursor on the screen for some context, we have I-29, 32nd Avenue South, 36th Street South, and then in the corner is 34th Street and 31st Avenue. The applicant is requesting a minor subdivision entitled Christensen, 32nd Avenue South, 4th Edition, which is a replant of Block 1 and 2, Block 1, Christensen, 32nd Avenue South, 3rd Edition. Looking at some site photos, on the top we're facing northwest from the private drive, and then on the bottom we are facing east from 36th Street South. And then on the top, we are facing south from 31st Avenue South. And then on the bottom, we are facing west. And you can see the existing stormwater pond there on the site. The zoning is general commercial with a conditional overlay. No zone change is proposed, and the conditional overlay will carry through with the proposed subdivision. This is a replat of two existing lots into a three-lot subdivision. In the middle of the plat right here, there's an electric easement that is intended to be rerouted. The applicant is working with an electric company to place that exactly. And a new ingress-egress easement is being placed on a portion of the shared property line of lots one and two. And so that is right here. Staff is coordinating with the applicant to update the amenities plan to address the stormwater management. And the overall boundaries are not changed for this subdivision. Staffers issued no inquiries in response to this project. We find all criteria to be met and are recommending approval. And applicant representative Chris Mack is here to answer any questions if you have any. That concludes staff's presentation. Thank you.

Thanks, Luke. Commissioners, any questions for Luke? Do we have any questions? Do you have anything to add on the application? Do we have any questions for the applicant? Seeing none, okay, let's go ahead and open up public hearing. Anybody wish to speak on item number three? Anybody wish to speak on this agenda item? Seeing none, let's close public hearing. Commissioners? Move to approve based on staff recommendation. The motion. Do I have a second? Motion and a second. Any discussion on the motion? Go ahead and take the roll, please. Bly?

Aye. Schmidt? Aye. Pass? Aye. Safran? Aye. Mose? Aye. Geordry? Aye. Rosenberg? Aye. Vetlock?

Aye.

Tassa?

Aye. Motion carries. Moving on to other items, D1, Petition for Waiver of Sidewalks in Portions of Adams, Fifth and Ninth Editions, Sanders Edition, Donald.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you, commissioners. This is a non-hearing item, but it's pretty much the same routine we have. This is a petition for waiver of sidewalk. We do these fairly rarely. The last one your commission looked at was back in January of 2024. It was up in Woodcrest. This is a little different location. This is in an industrial and commercial area down here on Thunder Road. So just this is the large scale context map. Here's I-29, 32nd Avenue South. Here's the truck stop. Here's Thunder Road go-kart track and other businesses here. The zoning here is mostly industrial with the brownish gray and commercial. There's no zone change involved in this. As you see, there are three different additions in here. This just should be actually, that should, let me go back one here. This should be ninth, not seventh. They should be ninth. So the crosshatch parts are not part of this. So Adams V was once fairly large. It's been replatted in a couple of different ones here, just so you get an idea where this is. So there's three different editions, but they're all together. So the original Adams fifth edition was plotted in 2000, and sidewalks were not installed at the time. Their documentation from that case file says that the sidewalks would be installed at the time of of development of the individual properties. That was never done, apparently. And so there's not ever been any sidewalk in any of these properties. The engineering department periodically reviews areas of the city that don't have sidewalks and proposes sidewalk installation projects for every summer. You've seen these all around the town. You might have had one in front of your own home. And this winter and spring, they proposed that this area have sidewalks installed and notified the property owners. Some of the property owners wished to protest that installation of sidewalk and petitioned us and got into the process here. So this was the original proposed area of sidewalks. This is from the city engineer's office. And this is at least the area of the proposed waiver here. And we do have some of the property owners or the representatives with us here this afternoon who may wish to address the commission. Commissioners, as you may recall, oh, here's just a couple shots here. This is the cul-de-sac looking south here. And then this is facing along the east side of Thunder Road here. This is the Thunder Road go cart place here. As you see, there's a fairly large area right away here around these properties. The petitioner's perspective, this is actually in your staff report. This was from the petition they sent us that they don't believe that a sidewalk is necessary in their area here. uh... the city as you may recall from the last time we looked at this takes the perspective that sidewalk should be everywhere as in fact this is actually codified in the land development code again this is in your staff report there that they're an amenity they're an asset uh... they should not be built in some places and not others uh... they provide transportation facilities for all you know around this area as you see i'll take one more look at the overall area here that uh... These are industrial and commercial properties, but there are apartments nearby. There's offices nearby here. So it's not entirely industrial. So staff's recommendation based on the ordinance section there and the other plans that are cited in your staff report is for denial of this waiver on these properties. And that is our presentation. Again, we do have representatives of the property owners here who may wish to address the commission and provide their perspective to you commissioners as well.

Thanks, Donald. Commissioners, any questions for Donald?

Donald, can you go back to the aerial showing the... That one there. That one, yep. So the one on the right is where they're looking to exempt the sidewalk?

Yes, sir, that's correct. Okay. That's the area proposed waiver. You are correct.

Donald, the red is... Going in?

No, so perhaps I should have used two different colors. This is the area where the city engineer proposes to install the sidewalk. This area that's highlighted here is the area proposed to be exempted. These are the property owners along here who've asked that this area not be installed.

Okay, so the stuff that's not colored in is already been?

No, there's no sidewalk there at all, sir. Okay. There's never been any sidewalk installed.

And they're going to install that portion that's not in red?

It depends on how the waiver comes out.

Right. But if we did the denial, we did the denial, it's going to be the left one. If we approve this, it's just going to be the right one and it's going to be not the red. It's going to get sidewalked.

It's going to be the red. It's going to be the red that gets no sidewalk.

Right.

Okay.

Okay. So then it'll go all the way up to 30th Avenue from whatever street that is. So we'll have sidewalk.

So the area not in red here would get the sidewalk.

Okay. And all the way around. So where these storage units are here would have sidewalk all the way around. In the, you know, in that new, those new.

Well, this is actually, yes, they would get that installed. Yeah. Because they would be, they would be part of this.

Okay. So it's just the Thunder Road area in the cul-de-sac that are asking.

Right along here. Commissioner, if I may ask, Mr. Borglum, do you have any addition to that? Okay. So I check with our city engineer that we're describing that correctly.

Okay, thank you.

So the part of the sidewalk that is being proposed along the 3002, 3019, 3005, that would just end, that sidewalk would just end when it gets to the Thunder Road South?

Yes, ma'am.

Because there's nothing?

There would be no continuation of it here.

And same with across? Oh, no, I see. It would be, okay. Thank you.

Any other questions for Donald? Okay, I'll go ahead. Can I jump in really quick?

Yep. Was there any conversation about still installing the sidewalk that is on the Thunder Road, what I call the entertainment site? Because it seems like, I know the vast majority of people drive to that location, but not everyone. So it does seem like a sidewalk on at least that parcel would be very important.

Commissioner, the owner of that property is with us this afternoon, and so he might be able to address that more directly for you. Okay, thank you. Mr. Tandesky.

Any other questions? Okay. I would invite the petitioners up if you want to speak on agenda D1.

I'm Rob Tandesky, part owner of Thunder Road. My family owns it, sons and my wife. And I guess the first question would be why after 26 years we need a sidewalk? 26 years, yeah. Now we need a sidewalk. We've got irrigation, trees. I don't know. I guess that's just my question and probably along with these people also. I can't speak for them, but... And there's a lot of area with no other sidewalks. You know, you say everybody has to have a sidewalk, but the sidewalk across where the storage sheds are, there would be a sidewalk on 30th Avenue. Really no reason to walk back that way. They could just stay there. And I guess that's what we're all thinking. So, or my family. And I think I had, now it's gotta be, Probably snow removal, if that's a public sidewalk, so then we have to pay for that. We're not open 12 months of the year, we're open six. And that's another cost that would not be, it doesn't make sense to us, I guess. Any questions for me?

No. I have a question. So were you aware at the time this was being developed that there was an agreement by the developer that the sidewalks would go in when they got.

No, I purchased it in 2016, 17, sorry. So the original builders probably knew about it, but not me.

But he didn't, whoever it was, he or she didn't inform you that that was the agreement?

Right, because no, he's never said nothing. I mean, I don't, he wouldn't talk about sidewalks when I bought it, I guess. You know, I don't know.

Any other questions for the petitioner? Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Anybody else, any petitioners also want to speak?

Good afternoon commissioners. I am Judy McCoy and I'm with McCoy properties and McCoy I-29 properties and We are at the 3004th under road address and the question that you had asked the previous person we purchased our property in 2013 no disclosure that sidewalks were necessary and Our McCoy I-29 properties we purchased a couple years ago. Again, no disclosure. So we've been there 13 years, 14 years. And what I have noticed is if there is anyone walking on the street, it's a homeless person. And we are very familiar with law enforcement because a lot of those people have issues. So if you look at the diagram up there, you're going to see that there are some shops that have been developed recently, last probably two, three, four years. And when those shops were put in, the amount of foot traffic coming through pretty much disappeared because people were living in those trees We're removed many times. We come back now that we have actual shops that are there. We're not seeing that any longer. So we, with the nature of our business, we rent out our property to J&M Truck Sales. We don't have anybody that walks over to buy a semi-truck. They're all driving in. So we feel that the cost, while it's not a huge burden, is a cost that maybe is not necessary for us to take on. So we would request that the sidewalk not go forward. Question for you. Has anyone taken a look to see what kind of traffic there is in that area? Foot traffic?

We're not here to answer questions. We're just here to hear the input of the petitioners.

OK. Is there an opportunity later for that?

I don't know.

I believe we can answer the question, ma'am.

I do not believe there's been any survey of foot traffic in relation to the sidewalk installation when the city engineer reviews these things. OK, not like a traffic count that you do.

Yeah, we've lots of cars, not too many feet on the ground. Alright, thank you, thank you.

Anybody else wish to speak?

Hello, my name is Dave Jones from Choice Investments and I have the property at 3068 and basically at the end of the cul-de-sac there Again, we don't have any, there's really no need for any foot traffic coming down in that area. We're all, you know, industrial type businesses and we don't have any walk-ins. One thing I'm afraid of, I mean the more foot traffic for me, it seems the more danger it presents. There is an unbelievable amount of not so good of things that happened back there. There's been a tremendous amount of theft, people in the area that shouldn't be doing illegal things. It's really bad. If we get sidewalks in there, I don't know if that's gonna invite more people into the area, but I would certainly hope not. If there's anything that could be done, we would love to have a light back there. There is no street light, and maybe a little bit more police presence. But back to the sidewalks, for us, it's just so unnecessary, and... There's just nobody walking in the area. That that could utilize it so. But that's all I have. Thank you, thank you.

Anybody else wish to speak? Item. I keep losing my sheet item D1. Okay, any other questions? I'll circle back to Donald if we have any other questions for Donald.

Just curious, Donald, has there been any, I guess I don't know how recent, but waivers that we've done recently in the same sort of industrial area like this?

I don't believe so, ma'am. Like I said, we only do one of these every couple of years. Our recommendation is almost always for denial. I can only think of one that was approved, but that was part of a subdivision that was not a similar situation to this. And I don't know if, do we have any similar ones? No. No, apparently we don't recall any in industrial like this in the last 10 years or so.

Yeah, I think we had residential in the last couple years, didn't we?

We had the Woodcrest one. That was the big one. That was two and a half years ago, ma'am.

Okay.

That's correct.

Is there anything with zoning that requires a sidewalk? Just because I notice, you know, if you go west of I-29, kind of North Fargo Industrial Park there, looking through there, only like 45th and some of the main thoroughfares have sidewalks, but all the regular side streets don't have them. I'm just curious if there's something with the zoning or what would require them in this location for the industrial portion, at least.

Yes, sir. So the section here cited is also in your staff report. This is in our land development code that sidewalks pretty much go everywhere. There are some areas that were not, sidewalks were not installed at the time, and then that is basically what happens here is over the years, City Engineering goes back and finds those areas and proposes putting in sidewalk for that. I'm familiar with the area you're talking about. I don't know why individual sidewalks are not... putting on those individual properties they generally do it as part of the development as part of the site plan development so when the building is built the property owner is obligated to install the sidewalk either at his expense or the city can do it and special assess it back so again i don't know anything on the history of those individual ones again anything i look at you know

I think it's fair to point out on this one, Donald, if you want to go back to the aerial. Kind of the reason that we were in this neighborhood looking to install sidewalk is those shop condos that are kind of in the middle there. They were built back in 2022, and the site plan that was submitted and approved showed sidewalks getting installed as part of their initial improvements. They did not do that, so that's why we identified this area as to come in and install sidewalks. And then while we were evaluating this area, we determined these other areas shown on screen did not have sidewalks, so that's why they were added to the project so that we complied with our city ordinance. Thank you, Nathan.

Any other questions for Donald or staff?

Donald, why is there no sidewalk then on 30th Avenue? Is it already there?

You mean right here?

In front of the shop condos, yeah.

Right. Was that part of what you?

There's sidewalk there. It's just tough to see at this scale.

Okay. So they just put the sidewalk on 30th, or 30th was, sidewalk was put in when 30th Avenue was done? Yeah.

Correct, yeah. So on the east side of 30th Avenue is your standard 4 1⁄2-foot sidewalk. On the west side is a 10-foot trail. That's why it shows up in the aerial a little bit better, just because it's a wider trail.

Yeah, Commissioner Rosenberg, when you look at that, you'll see the gold property line goes right down the middle of the sidewalk. If you look over here, you can see the sidewalk there on the property line. Thank you. Yes, sir.

And across 30th, like 3885, 3901, there's apartments in that area? Or those are apartments?

Yes. Thank you.

Oh. To me, I feel like we're kind of talking about two dichotomies of use. To me, a sidewalk is for public safety and for transportation, right? If we have apartments that are nearby, especially a entertainment type area, I would absolutely want the continuation of sidewalks to serve that area. There's teenagers, there's families, there's kids coming to that. And then after that, though, I totally understand, and the pragmatic person in me I don't know that it is necessary that we should have sidewalks in front of the more heavier industrial areas that don't necessarily need them. And if it's a lot of heavy truck usage or whatnot, we're actually kind of doing the opposite of what we're trying to achieve, which is public safety, right? So I just feel like could there be a solution that's in the middle of these two examples that are on our screen? Could there be sidewalks required up through the Thunder Road entertainment area? That's a bad way to say it, but that parcel, and then stop after that.

And to that, to your point, Tracy, it would, you know, being able then for future planning is there, we would probably need to put, I assume, put together something that would be consistent then for waivers going forward. Because I'm trying to think through it, too, both from our, you know, with the new LDC and growth plan that we are committed to adding, making sure sidewalks are... are part of our uh future and and continuing however yeah this i could see why this maybe wouldn't make sense but then how do we make sure that um it it could be replicated for future either waivers but um yeah that's just common i guess

You know, I would say, first of all, the city of Fargo should be commended for requiring sidewalks on all streets. You know, the post-development installation of sidewalks can be a very contentious issue, and I think knowing cities that don't have sidewalks how contentious it is there, and so I think it's a really important public policy to have sidewalks on every street. So that's the large picture in my view. The immediate picture is that looking at this area, right now it's industrial, it's low intensity use, it's a parking lot along part of the street in question. But this is not a remote area on the edge of the city. This is right in the middle of potentially intense development at 32nd Avenue and I-29. I can see in the future much more happening there than is happening now. And so my recommendation, my thought would be to install sidewalks now rather than have this contentious discussion later. Any other, go ahead.

I would move forward with the denial, that's my motion.

Okay, we have a motion. I'll second. And a second. Any discussion on the motion?

I agree with all that the sidewalks are an essential part of the city. Thinking back, I voted for a waiver. It's been a while back. It was Rocking Horse Circle. Remember that one? And I've regretted it ever since. And so I'm not gonna repeat it. And I just think it's a good idea to have, in fact, I think about one little part of town which I visit quite often, it's a residential area, it doesn't have sidewalks at all. And I'm sure if I recommended that they go in right now, my son and daughter-in-law would throw a fit. But they walk in that area and they're on the street. And it's not safe. I just think it's a good idea to continue with the policy that we have.

So just to be clear, your recommended motion, are you accepting the motion, you're denying the motion on the screen?

We're denying the request. Okay.

Accepting the motion, right?

Accepting the motion.

Okay, okay. Any other discussion?

I just think it's important, you know, in this particular case, you know, yes, we have some properties or parcels that are industrial in nature and probably don't need sidewalks, but in this you know looking closer at this area, you know in that cul-de-sac there's a Eddie and Barkis so it's a daycare center for for dogs and so you know there could be people that are walking their dogs from the apartments or you know the Office buildings just a little bit further north. You know there's definitely some need for some sidewalks here, and I think I

to have some of them require it and then have it skip a property just because they don't typically use sidewalks or you know foot traffic i just think that's a bad policy i think one thing too is just it's the policy of the city and we just need to be consistent with that otherwise we're setting a precedent that if you in the future are required to put in a sidewalk we'll maybe I can get away with it. And then what we don't want is like piecemeal sidewalk network, because that's just going to be not in anyone's best interest. So I agree with all the discussion here. And I think it's a good thing to have sidewalks, even if it's low pedestrian area.

Anyone else? Kate? We have a motion and a second. If we're ready, we'll go ahead and take the roll, please. Schmidt?

Aye.

Betlock?

Aye.

Georgie? Aye. Stafford? Aye. Mose?

Aye.

Rosenberg?

Aye.

Gly? Aye. Pass? Aye. Tassa?

Aye. Motion carries.

Madam chairman just for the Commission then the property owners background this will now go to the City Commission July 20th for their final decision with your recommendation Thank you, ma'am Thank You Donald

Next item is nominating committees. So Art, Commissioner Rosenberg and I have been here for two years, and so now it's time for us to be done with our elected, our positions. And so we'll do, the election of officers in August. And so up until, from now until the next meeting, if you are interested in chair or vice chair position, or if you want to nominate somebody for chair or vice chair, let me know, and then we'll do the nominations and voting in August. Committee? Anybody can nominate.

No, I'm just having kind of fun with this because I've been the nominating committee several times.

You have.

I only met myself.

You have, yeah. Miranda is right now. Would you like to be the nominating committee?

No, I'm exhausted.

So that's pretty much, any questions on how that works? No? Okay. Item D3 is staff updates with Nicole.

Yeah, just a few updates. One, a few weeks ago, the Lost Creek addition was back at the city commission. And that was approved with conditions. And so those conditions were, you're probably familiar with those conditions that were tied to your options that you had as a body, a recommending body. And so currently right now the plat would, one of the conditions is the plat will not be recorded until the developer's agreement and more information related to future funding policies are coordinated. And so the project's a little bit on the hold while staff and the applicants work, and I'm sure there'll be more discussions as we get through the 2027 budget and other items. But at least that next step has been affirmed. So just a quick update on that. If you have any questions on that before I move to the LDC or any follow-up questions. And a good discussion at the city commission. And you saw a representation from the finance department Engineering had a really nice presentation that went with that, Public Works. And so good discussion on that. And then the Land Development Code, next up right now staff is literally going line by line with the, through the code with the draft code with the consultants. And we should have a new public-facing draft, hopefully, in early August, early to mid-August. We will have a code connect somewhat in early August, so look for some public announcements on that. And then the consultants, now we're looking at towards the end of August for their next visit. So as soon as we have those dates confirmed, probably in the next week or so, we'll send you an email saying, update on that. And the planning commission would be, you'd all get a copy of that proposed draft and then the idea is having work groups related to the draft so we could have more individual walkthroughs when the consultants are in town. So that's where we're at with the land development code. Any questions on any of those items? I should say that I might have said this last month, my days are all blending together. But the the consultants contract was amended to extend into the end of the year. So we do know there's a lot more coordination to do between August, September, October, with the draft of the LDC. And then we should have some hopefully some updates from the consultant on the finance and incentive discussions, probably late August as well. So when they're here in person, hopefully. Any questions?

Great, thank you. Thanks, Nicole. Thank you very much for attending, and we will adjourn the meeting.
