Plan Commission - Regular Meeting

Are you following the rules? Okay. Okay. Welcome to the Hanbok County Area Plan Commission's August 25th event. We can start the event now. Everyone, please turn off your mobile phones and electronic devices. Today's first agenda for last month's event is Acceptance. The Prime Minister will announce the acceptance. Then what? Okay. According to the minutes of last month's yoga session, we have done the Pramayam and Pintunayakya for those who agree. Those who agree, say Aye. Aye. Those who oppose, say Aye. Pramayam has been passed. Mr. Toll and others are present today. Therefore, we invite him as he is not present. Let everyone know that your testimonies are being recorded and that the testimony is true. Those who wish to speak should only speak when the name is called. Before speaking, the speaker sitting next to me should first testify. To prepare the correct minutes, you must make your full name and last name clear in the dictionary. Please speak directly to the microphone. Today, Kaila staff is giving reports for each hearing. After that, the petitioner is given 10 minutes for their speech and 10 minutes for their opposition. The government staff is given 5 minutes and another 5 minutes for the petitioner's return. When the time is running out, each of our speakers gives a minute's advance notice to each of the speakers. All of you must act humbly. If that is not possible, we have the right to go out with you, and we do not accept any comments from the audience. If you want to speak, you can vote to speak freely and to speak to someone. This event is being recorded and streamed for the public to see. By participating in this, you can share your views, voices, and opinions. According to the Indian Code 51-141-5, this act has been clearly announced. Those in black suits are the ones who come in front of the camera. So, you are definitely on the lookout. The first issue is that there is a need to change the notice of a accident in the Singh Retail Centre. So, if anyone has reached here today for that matter, we intend to postpone it. So, we need a plan to postpone it. We are proposing a plan to postpone it. Thank you. May I ask you a question?

I don't think there are any further directions in the rules of the Planning Commission. That's how it is for the BCA. Is it necessary to cancel the announcement? This is related to the notice. Since we don't have any further directions, we may have to postpone it. What did he give you?

That was a notice problem. That was a wrong notice. That's why they gave a notice.

That's their reason.

They have to do it right. That's why they have to complete it. Yes, I don't think we have to do it. But that was the reason. I understood.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. Okay.

Because of the wrong notice, the first issue of Sing Retail Center was decided to be moved to the September meeting and it was approved. Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Yes. Those who oppose, say yes. The agreement has been passed.

So, if anyone is here to hear about the Singer Retail Center, oh, Mr. Toll is here. Please introduce him as he is present.

You will receive a notice again. We will continue to discuss it in September.

Next, we will move on to the second item. This is a Unified Development Ordinance project that has been waiting for a long time. Tonight, we have presented our Unified Development Ordinance to your attention. This meeting has been presented as a general statement. So, tonight, you can wish the Board of Commissioners on this matter. In short, HW, Lenny and Brian Stumpf from SEAL and our zoning ordinance and subdivision control ordinance are cooperating. That is, the ordinance code of our county is 155 and 156. They have not made any changes so far. They have only taken these regulations and made it into a unified development ordinance. I emailed the two related records along with this card. The crosswalk record that shows where the old ordnance is hidden in the new one and the report that shows the changes that have come so far were also in it. Now I am calling our consultants. They have prepared this record at the right time. If you have any questions about me, let me know. I have a question. You sent this to this group. Has this been given to the public? Yes. Have you received any feedback on this? No feedback at all. Okay. Since this is a hearing gain, we can first make a statement. So...

Yes. Brian Stumpf from HWC Engineering.

Lani Stumpf from Civic Blueprint. As Kaila pointed out, this is a combination of your existing Subdivision Control Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance. You can see where the language is in the new regs and where it is in the new regs in the crosswalk regs. The aim was to change this to a format that can be easily used and edited in Bavarian. We have added things like hyperlingual to make regs easier to use and access. Thus, we participated in various steering committee meetings. This is the third draft of the regio we have created. Below each section, there is a link to the American Legal Reference in your account. So you can always find out where it is. This is made in the form of a VEDA document. That is the last regio. So, when you go forward, you can decide what to update. You have the ability to update everything when needed. In order to make updates and regular updates in HWC specific locations, do we make or create a schedule? Where do we stand in that regard?

No, they haven't done anything so far.

We haven't done that. Okay. Now, we can make our own updates, right? Because this is a weird document. Right. It was only worth one time. Okay. This method started a long time ago as a reminder.

It was very difficult. So, as they said, this is a first step. We haven't made any changes in zoning. We have only changed the format. The discrepancy report and crosswalk regs have been used to ensure that this is what happened. Because there were some minor changes, some overlaps and others, right? That's why there were so few things. That's why it has been reduced there. So the aim of this is to provide a reg that is easy for commissioners to understand. This is an opportunity to start the necessary zoning changes and ordinance changes. Yes, we will start those procedures this year itself. I think that Keilayu's hand is a stick. Therefore, I am sure that they will get information about some of the things that have been discussed and some of the things that need to be discussed. Then I think that it is a good thing that we are now following more legal procedures. That's right. That is, everything. Have we made some of those legal provisions right? Or is there any work left in it?

Now that's the place.

Yes.

Right. Right. This is much easier to use.

Right. Yes. Right. Is there anything else to ask K-L-O-D or H-W-C-O-D? No. Right. Thank you. Thank you. Is there anyone to talk about this Unified Development Ordinance or to ask any questions? I am the only one who is not excited about this. This is a...

I am very excited. Are you excited?

Yes, this is very good for the public. This is easy to use. Yes, that's a good thing. This will be very useful for people who have started as engineers, surveyors, and architects. They are familiar with this format. So, this is taking us forward with care. This is a format that everyone knows how to use. Not only that, it can be chosen easily. So, like KL suggested, we have some options here. If we want to learn more about this, we can talk about it again next month. Or, if you have time to learn about this through email, you can submit a petition to the commissioners. Whether that petition is accepted or not accepted, or whether a petition is not required. Approval and rejection. Yes. Approval or rejection of acceptance. Yes. I have read about it. I think it is very good after sitting in many committees about it. So, I suggest that the commissioners should agree with the approved proposal. I agree. Okay. The Unified Development Ordinance has been approved and agreed with the approved proposal by the Karadu Board of Commissioners. When you are ready, we can start the voting. Don. Yes. Mr. Hester. Yes.

Molden.

Yes.

Mr. Long.

Yes.

Miss Gire. Yes. Miss. Yes. Mr. Yes. Yes. Mr.

Yes. So, they fly balloons in the commissioners' union, right? It's not here. Those would be big celebrations and parties. No. Okay. Okay. Hey, Michael. That is... What was my first instruction at the beginning of the month? I will make a promise. I made a promise. The promise was for this. These are the minutes. He made a promise in the minutes when he was not present. Yes, so you will have to do it again. Oh, okay. I accept the promise. Thank you. Okay, take care.

Thank you.

You became a little angry. So? Yes. Okay, did you get that?

Yes, so we will pay more attention.

Okay, so we will end today's hearing and proceedings within record time. We have another business item with us. It is the update of the Data Center Committee. This is the update of the Citizens Committee on Data Center Sighting and Use. Can you move on to the lecture? Thank you.

So, we have started preparing the curriculum for the Data Center Overlay District. The information I gave on 18 August can be said in detail. Therefore, I repeat once again, these are only the current facts. Before the actual ordinance is announced, changes must be made to it. We need to remind where we started all this. Therefore, before June 2026, it was allowed for data centers in any of our industrial zoning districts, i.e., to come and take a building permit. Therefore, through the implementation of this ordinance on June 2026, we handed over the current standard of how data centers are used today. We have also made it mandatory to introduce data centers in the newly used data center overlay district, only in the IG industrial district, where the use of data centers is the most important. This is the first of the data center projects to be removed from my department's front desk and brought to the Board of Commissioners with an intention. Finally, an overlaid process was made to inspect the instructions for district data centers. When everything is completed, I think it will be in front of the Board of Commissioners three times. In addition, a number of public hearings are also required. The activities of re-zoning and the coordination of this overlay district, the two provisions, the approval of the zoning ordinance, and the public hearing required for the development plan review, which is not usually needed, are included in this. It was also allowed to be displayed in front of the Executive Committee twice. Various types of information are available in this case. You know that the planning department and the building department cannot handle all the things, right? So they investigate things related to their activities. The survey department handles all the rainwater reports. The highway department handles all the things that affect our county road constitution. Purdue Extension, Public Safety, Auditor's Office, Aarogya Vagupu etc. are on that board. We are moving forward with the plans to make this ordinance and the overlay district more clear. The development standards include setbacks of 50 to 100 feet apart from the normal setbacks required by the IG zoning district. We are suggesting that any major data center, any residential area, school or cultural or natural resources should have a setback of at least 1000 feet. The Hancock County Comprehensive Plan has revealed this. That's why this is like a buffer for extreme feeding activities and cell phone towers. This will ensure a limit to this use. We believe that houses should not be near this. So we are moving this to a safe zone. This is a system that we will definitely ensure. This is just one idea. According to the Urban Lands Institute, 200 feet will be enough. The Lynn County Ordinance in Iowa is 1000 feet. I thought it was more convenient. We have noticed that more than 1% of data centers need land. Our state's IG zoning district has a height of 50 feet. Therefore, the Board of Zoning Appeals will have to approach any thing above 50 feet for variance. Therefore, should the data center provide a different direction or requirement in the overlay district for land use? An overlay district can do that. So, we say that they have to be closed. Is it better to say 65 to 70 feet or 50 feet as in other IG zoning districts? This is one thing to consider. Okay, the sound is a big issue. We know that it has to be controlled. Therefore, the ambient noise study before development and the noise study after development should be part of the development plan review. And it will continue as part of the operational reporting. Well, one of the things we noticed in the various ordinances that control data centers is the need to control two different decibels. The sound that is usually heard and the sound that is experienced as a message. This is the best way for me to explain this. Let me show you the agricultural conditions that control the sound in the areas of residential areas. The use of data centers is well controlled, and the rules and regulations related to the actual situation and conditions are changed. Usually, we require high and low values ​​in front of the buildings. Those like data centers may not need such small values. It is better to build a high value around it. The actual conditions for our agricultural land must be renewed. Therefore, we need to think about such changes in our agricultural or agricultural design guidelines. In addition, all agricultural properties are subject to binding landscaping and urban lighting ordinances. This is a detailed survey, and they do it every month. So it's like a different system when landscaping and lighting ordinances are involved. Also, all surveys related to survey drainage are carried out. They are doing it continuously. They are continuing to do so. These are the things that we usually look at as part of our survey. We have also examined more than enough methods to avoid changes in the system, such as the management of the operating system, maintenance, maintenance units, backup energy sources, and operational activities. Therefore, a decommissioning plan will be a part of this along with the forest status report. This is very similar to the same process we are following when solar systems come to the county. This process is very close to that process. Well, a utility plan and a possible report. One of the essential and necessary parts of our development methods is the utility plan and the possibility report and how it will be used by local utilities. This is a place where we can make it clear that it will not be used by an independent inner or septic system. This is a place where it can be connected not only to electricity, but also to a place where it can be connected to a place where it can be connected to a place where it can be connected to a place where it can be connected to a place where it can be connected Generally, we require top-fee receipts from water and sewage providers. Sanitary sewage is a good opportunity for water and sewage providers to explain in detail how the consumption of these sites will be achieved. We also want to see a construction method that shows traffic management and parking during construction. Where are the construction workers going to park? Which roads will be used? Will they be able to cause damage to vehicles? How will this be handled by the highway department? Places for temporary construction of buildings. These are all things that we control through our building department. If there is a lot of dust in the site, we get complaints and we handle it. But we thought that this should be handled in a slightly different way and this should be ensured as part of the development process. These are things to be investigated, but the last approval should be with others. Rainwater Drainage, Sand Drainage, Forestry Control, etc. As I said, it is handled by the office of the surveyor. Usually, it is sent to the 3rd party investigation, the users, the operations, the site reconstruction methods, the financial development plan, the traffic management plan, the bonds and financial guarantees that the county is satisfied with, as well as the sunset rules and conditions regarding the use of the method. Therefore, if properties are accepted as part of the Overlay District and if the development process is not accepted within a year, the Board of Commissioners' decision will allow us to move the properties back to the former Zoning District. Therefore, we can either accept it back to the Industrial Business Park or the previous Zoning District. If you do not submit the Improvement Location Permit within 2 years after receiving approval, the approval of the development plan will end. Then, yes, we have now received approval for this development plan. Before we calculate the method used, you will have to take action on this at a certain time. Otherwise, if a new development plan is not approved within two years after the end of the development plan, the Board of Commissioners will remove the property from the Overlay District as per the decision of the Commissioners. So, please be careful about the re-zoning of the Sunset once again. Solar Ordinance, Plant Unit Development, and Road Instructions are the same things that we have implemented so far. If something is not done within a certain period of time, it will take time. Bond is not financial guarantees or necessities. That is, if you break it, you have to fix it yourself. Secondly, we know that this is a constantly changing application and we have to update it continuously for updates. So, like the data centers, our data center committee has firm opinions. In addition, the administrative priorities that come when this application is developed. Okay, that's my update. Continue, Mike. Yes, this committee started in July. I think our first meeting was in July. This group actually intended to meet four times from July to October. But it was cut off, so we met a little more in smaller intervals. We have now met five times. The sixth meeting is about to come. We have not decided on that meeting so far. But as I told you before, we have heard a few speeches. We have discussed the meetings. In the last meeting, we accepted the public opinion. She gave the same introduction to the Kaila comedy, but she has not made any of the things she spoke about in the public opinion meeting happen. It is now on YouTube. So I encourage you to listen to it. Because a lot of good things have been discussed there. So this extra meeting, the sixth meeting, the extra meeting will be used for this. If there is anything new from that public opinion to be included in this direction, I think it is to be discussed. The plan commission from the committee will actually be a collection of minutes. All the things we did and talked about, then the things we started to prepare for our small event, will be such things. It will be more important than she is here, but it will be things we can discuss. So you will get the minutes of that meeting. After that meeting, you will immediately receive a report. We need to take some time to read it and enter it, and then we can talk here. If she continues to make changes to the ordinance, that is, to the overlay ordinance, she will be able to receive recommendations or suggestions. Then again, as she said, it will be like a short break. We want to implement some things in Udo. We all know that it is still in progress. But we will try to implement it in the future. That is our goal. So, do you have any questions?

So, will this ordinance be introduced to us? Most of them will vote for it or accept it. After that, it will come to us. Will we be able to pass it one by one? Because it would be very difficult to pass everything together. Some things can be applied to us in some things, but not in some other things. So, will this be a one-line ordinance? Or how do we expect to do this? This will not be a straight line. This will be a complete ordinance. It will be passed through 36,74,600 programs. That is, it will be a decision that is neither favorable nor unfavorable. The whole ordinance will be obtained. I am afraid. Sometimes we cannot pass anything. Because everyone may have different opinions. One person here can say, okay, I want it to be 30 decibels. Another person can say 20, another person 10, and another person Poojam. If we all have different opinions like that, there will be many uses and different sections. We can come without being able to pass anything. That is my desire. Each ordinance must be examined in detail and decided whether we want it or not. What are the conditions we need? It is not that you should not discuss each and every thing, but if everything is prepared as an ordinance, it will have to be fully approved. But in this case, you have to talk about things that are difficult for you or that are more important. That is my question. That is the question here. They will discuss the next meeting in September, and we can make the changes we like and vote again in October. If you have any questions, please let me know right now. If you have any strong opinions about the things they discussed here, the things you heard in the advisory committee, or the things you need to ask the commissioners about a project, please let them know. If you have a specific opinion on anything, please let me know right now. In this report with minutes and those questions, there are more details about some of those things. Because some of them have been discussed, read in lectures, and spoken in speeches. So there will be good details in it. Yes, of course, there is a discussion. But I think this committee has prepared the most details and data. Then, of course, the general sessions and general speeches were good. Because it brought out more things that we did not think of. That's why it would be a good idea.

When we were preparing the ordinance on safety and wind, I remember that we discussed different things about it. But we didn't have a committee to give it to us. We did it directly. I know.

But I don't understand what you're saying. We have a committee to give some recommendations. Okay. Then it will come to our kitchen and we can completely change it. We have to do that. Isn't it? So, it is different from the issue of security, we have decided about the security. Then with the help of the commissioners, the reason is they have to accept it. Because if you put anything in it and the commissioners say they don't want it, we will have to start again from the beginning. Isn't it? Anyway, we have to make a decision before that. Isn't it? That is,

Yes. Even if things don't work out for us, this commission has to make a decision. Whether it's a yes or a no, or whether it's a yes or a no.

No, that's it. Yes, finally the commissioners will decide what they want.

But what we get from this committee is not an ordinance form. That's what Kaila showed you as a model for making the first draft of the ordinance. So, we are getting a lot of information and good news to discuss. Do you have any questions for Kailay?

You know the correct outline or outline that you showed us, right? For example, I know that you spent a lot of time on landscaping updates that we did on a commission.

If you need more material than that, you can consider it as a special project like any other project that is to come. If we need more trees or a bigger buffer, we will be happy to accept a project that is to come. That is, we still have the right to make changes to the things that you told us before. Is this correct or not? What was the need for the ordinance? It is correct. I think it can be added as a zoning amendment. Okay. So, if a project needs a rezoning, you can do it as a zoning amendment and they can request a higher amount.

Even if there is no need for rezoning to pass overlay, you feel that some restrictions are imposed on overlay, right? That is, landscaping and other things.

Since this is an overlay district, we have the right to do more than just zoning. Yes. Zoning. Correct.

In short, I would like to point out that the process of establishing an overlay district in any area of our county is similar to the process of establishing another zoning district. So, the process that comes next will be the same. And yes, The question about the other issue is that you have talked about monitoring the things that should be managed as part of the ordinance, right? Therefore, we need more people who have the right to make sure that they are managing the county or the planning commission and to ensure that they are following the rules. Is this part of the ordinance or is it a relationship or is it a private region? It is an EDA or something else. Okay. Okay. That is, it will be a business. Okay. Yes. Okay. Do you have any other opinions or discussions? Nothing. Okay. Do you have anything else tonight?

Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Oh, is there anything else that needs to be done for the data center committee or do you want to do it later?

At some other time? We can send an email to the committee to decide that. Yes. Good.

So, this should be done within the next one or two weeks. Second. Okay, I'll permit the separation of love. I got the pin-name for it. Those who agree, say yes and agree. Those who oppose, say yes. Love has been passed. Thank you.
