Okay. Minutes have passed. Today's agenda has one topic. i.e. the general hearing of the 3A Mandalay Gardens Smiles 4 Miles Employment Flex. I think the staff and Mr. Burhoff will conduct the presentation today. Yes, thank you. Greetings, Commissioners. My name is Carson Beyerhof. I am the planner of the City Planning Division. As part of the presentation of this method in front of you, a staff agenda memo has been prepared. I have given a detailed introduction to today's general announcement. The agenda memo, its contents, today's PowerPoint presentation, The public announcements on the mail and the signboard are added here as a public area. Today, around 1000 feet around the place, 121 households, tenants and H.O.s have sent public hearing announcements. A public announcement on English and Spanish-speaking topics has been published. The town hearing has also become popular on the website. This 1-acre property is located at the top of 103rd Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. The current price of this property is 10,315 Wadsworth Boulevard. The picture on the right side of the slide shows the site plan for the initial development. From the Wadsworth Boulevard in the lower part, this explains the entry points of vehicles and pedestrians into the site. This also shows the general location of the development. The road that is hidden in the original development plan and the road that is needed for the development of this place, which is counted as the primary development of Watsworth Boulevard, are shown. The road that is left will be approved with the approval of the official development plan. This is in accordance with the administrative approval and approval. The road that is removed has to be approved by the CET Council. This was decided to discuss itself when the original development plan was approved on October 12, 2026. In Westminster Municipal Code section 11,514, when the primary development methods and procedures are discussed, the following 10 standards are included. 1. The appropriate method of management 2.

The proper management The Planning Commission wants to conduct a general hearing and the CET Council wants to approve the initial development plan. By creating more space for new businesses and promoting the development of the city through road development, the city's strategic goals are fulfilled by allowing the development of the industrial cloud. My name is Seen Hansen. I am an architect in Eco Design. Linda Lacey and A.B. Young are here tonight. They are part of the restaurant development that has been developing properties for the last 35 years. The first slide is to show you a little more about our design and the background. We are the only one in Wadsworth, near Padinyaru. We are surrounded by residential areas that are part of Jefferson County. So, we are the only one in Westminster, near Padinyaru, in Wadsworth Boulevard. So, that is the rural atmosphere that we aim for. I will use some of the following slides to show you. This is our design. The next slide is Karsan-Devai. This is a very clear view of our site. There is a car park on the 103rd street. You can also see the entrance to Kalnathayathrakar through all the units. The greenery there is a landscape designed by a professional designer. This will be more detailed in the ODP section. We have also included the basic facilities for EV parking in Bavi. There is a cycle parking next to the building and a driveway that provides fire access to all parts of the building. Let me show you the next slide. The floor plans are very simple. This is a 5-unit building. Below that page, there is a lower level. There are four large units and a small unit on the left side, which represents Wadsworth. There are two floors in four large units. At the top, there is a mezzanine level for a small office space. Let me show you the next slide. As you can see here, the main view below is the 3D view in the middle part of the right cone. When seen from Wadsworth, it shows how it will be. The small Eganilla unit at the bottom of the fort and a small Gopuram that reflects the rural clouds that we create can be seen there. In terms of living facilities, a residential feel has been added to each unit. Even though this is a bigger building than a house, we have tried to do small things. Let me show you the last slide. This will show you the actual conditions we are aiming for. This barn-like wooden-coated steel, which is popular on the streets, allows it to be broken down naturally. Then we have a cinder block, in which we have used split-paste to make small changes and also used blocks that were missing in some parts. This picture clearly shows the sound wall around the property. On the north side, we are starting from a small bridge, because the Ayelwassi in their house has to enter the driveway through our property. That bridge is a bit lower, so when they drive through the driveway and enter the property, he will not be able to see. The plants shown in that picture are just a single plant. This is not a final design, but our main materials are two-dimensional blocks and cotton steel. I think that's it. I'm happy to answer any questions. I have a small question. Why did you include Smiles for Miles in your project? Are you mainly talking about dentists? No, people want to be happy. That's all. Okay, okay. That's what I was thinking. Thank you. No matter how far we are from our place, we don't control it. But, okay, okay. Thank you. Do the commissioners have any questions? Commissioner Pegg, that's a small question. I noticed that you had parked your bike in the lower part of the building. My question is why it wasn't in the lower or middle part? There is a small space in the lower part of the building for the workers to rest. Moreover, you can see the mountains from the top of the building. So, this is a much more beautiful place. For those who use the upper part of the building, it is better to keep the bikes there so that they can be seen all the time. If you keep it in the lower part, it cannot be seen from the upper part of the building. Then, someone may steal the bike. That's why this is a little safer. To prevent abuse. Yes. Okay. Good. Thank you. Yes. Any other questions? Do you have anything to ask the staff? Vice Chair Carpenter. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, just one question. This is a question with a clue. There is a question about that old road that we are going to avoid. Do you know why it was allowed in the past? It ends up in railway tracks through a few places, right? In my opinion, when Wadsworth Boulevard was built, they didn't think about railway tracks. They didn't think about it. Due to a variety of land pollution issues, it can be seen throughout this region. The public works department always has plans to develop the Wadsworth boulevard in Bavi. That's why we need to leave this place. We will have to leave the place according to the needs of each development plan that comes with it. Okay. Yes. Thank you for your explanation. I was very eager to know. I will remind you about the unresolved issue. Do you have any other questions or opinions? Okay. Thank you for the introduction. Now, the part where I share the opinions of the public in this hearing has started. Have we received any emails or voicemails?
Yes, we have not received any emails or voicemails. Okay.
Has anyone registered their name to speak? No one has registered to speak.
Okay. Then, I am asking if anyone wants to speak about this request.
Since no one is here, I will end this hearing with a general statement. This will continue with discussion and discussion. Vice-Chair Carpenter, Thank you Mr. Chairman. I request the Planning Commission to consult with the CET Council to approve the primary development plan of the Mandandale Gardens. Miles for Miles Employment Flex. The section of the Subharsha-Westminster Municipal Code is based on the view that this primary development plan will be implemented on 11th May 2014. Is there anyone to support this? I nod my head. Oh, okay. Commissioner Pegg. Pardon me. Okay. We have received an order. And, is there any discussion? Commissioner Pegg, do you have anything to say? No. Commissioner Connor. I would like to say that this is a very well-designed and well-designed facility. I think it is very suitable for the barn garden and the rest of the place. So, it was very well thought out. Moreover, the finishing used in the outer part is very clean and beautiful. I praise it. Do you have any other comments or discussions? If there are no more discussions, I would like to request the Secretary for voting.
