City Council - Regular Meeting

That's right. All right. We'd like to welcome everyone and call to order the regular meeting of the West Valley City Council this March 10th, 2026. We're beginning our meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers of West Valley City Hall. We have all members of the council present. Council member Wood, Council Member Wedstone, Council Member Harmon, Council Member Hume, Council Member Christensen, Council Member Northfeld, and myself. We're also joined at the DAS with our city manager, Mr. Peely, and our city recorder, Miss Kamik. Our opening ceremony this evening will be presented by Councilman Christensen. We'll turn the time to him.

Thank you, Mayor. Welcome to everybody. This is a big crowd tonight. We're [snorts] excited to see you here. Would you please join me in standing and pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you.

Okay, we now have our minutes approval for our budget retreat that was on February 19th, 2026 and 2020 and February 20th, 2026. And then our regular meeting from February 24th, 2026. Turn those to the council for discussion or a motion. I move to approve all of those minutes. Second. Thank you. We have a motion and a second. All in favor, please say I. I.

And those stand approved. We now have our awards and ceremonies and proclamations. And I'll turn the time over to Council Member Harmon for that presentation. Thank you, mayor. Want to invite Jimmy to come up and stand up here in front of everybody. Right up here. This is awesome. This is This is I was so excited to be able to present this because this is incredible. [laughter] Tonight, we would like to recognize Jimmy Newuan, the city's only National Merit Scholar from American Prep Academy, for his outstanding academic achievements. Jimmy has distinguished himself as one of the nation's top high school seniors, earning recognition through the National Merit Scholarship Program, a highly selective academic honor award to students scoring among the top 1% of high school seniors. Only approximately 15,000 students nationwide achieve national merit finalist status annually, representing less than 1% of the more than 1.5 million students who enter the program each year. Of these finalists, roughly 7,500 students will be named National Merit Scholars, a distinction obtain attained by only about a half percent of all test takers. In addition to this prestigious recognition, Jimmy achieved a perfect score of 36 on the ACT. My father-in-law used to say, "Perfect is good enough." [laughter] So, great job. This accomplishment places him within an e extremely rare and elite group of students. Nationally, fewer than4% of all ACT test takers earn a perfect

composite score. Both of these achievements reflect extraordinary dedication, academic excellence, and exemplary preparation. National merit recognition is widely acknowledged by colleges and universities as a benchmark of scholistic scholist scholastic excellence and a perfect ACT score signifies mastery across all tested areas English mathematics reading and science. We, the mayor and city council of West Valley City, would like to recognize Jimmy Newan to honor his remarkable academic success. Jimmy, good job. [clears throat] Can we invite his family up also because this didn't happen just because of Jimmy. He's got a he's got some help. His family, if you'll come up and we'll take a picture.

Just kind of surround Jimmy up here. We got some on this side too.

Thank you. That looks good. One or two real quick. One, two, three. Thank you. [clears throat] [clears throat]

Yep. So, congratulations. Um, [clears throat] like council member Harmon said, it's not solo, it's an entire family. So, good job. All right, we'll now go to our public comment period.

My name is Nicole McCrae and I'm here for GPZ1. Okay. And speaker too.

Karina. Yeah. No, you're fine.

Okay. The wrong name. Anyway. All right. Hi, everyone. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Karina Mlen. I am the development director at Ability Inclusion Services. We are a nonprofit that supports adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities right here in West Valley. Ability Inclusion Services [snorts] enriches the lives of people with disabilities by actively providing community opportunities for independence and individual growth. Each day, these amazing people attend our center and build life skills. They form friendships. They volunteer in the community. They gain confidence as they work towards greater independence. I am here tonight to invite the community as well as the council in the city to attend our third annual spring gala event on April 16th at the beautiful Utah Cultural Celebration Center. This joyful evening brings together community members, business leaders, businesses, all who believe in creating opportunities for people with disabilities. And we are excited to have Jim Spiwak from Channel 2 News as our MC this year. This year, funds raised from the gala will support the launch of our summer youth program for young adults with disabilities ages 18 to 22. During the summer months, many families struggle to find structured opportunities that keep their young ones engaged, learning, and connected to their communities. This program will provide continued learning, life skill development, community volunteering, as well as meaningful experiences that help students maintain the progress that they've achieved throughout the school year. As a small thank you for the work you do for our city, I have brought two complimentary tickets for the council to attend. We truly would be honored to have you join us this special evening. We are excited

to have an upgraded space for our event and I'm hopeful you're able to come. So, thank you for your time. Thank you for your leadership and thank you for helping make West Valley a place where everyone feels included. Okay. Thank you. All right. Speaker three. I'm here to talk about GPC. Okay. Uh speaker five. I'm here for the Okay. Okay. And speaker six.

Hello, Mayor. My name is Josh Randall. I was assaulted at the West Valley Family Fitness Center. The West Valley City Police charged the perpetrator with battery violence in the presence of a minor and disorderly conduct. West Valley City improperly disposed of video evidence of the crime and then dismissed my case without even telling me they were dismissing it. It's a problem that the city's processes and procedures are allowing this to happen. Two independent state oversight bodies re reviewed how West Valley City H City handled my case. The third district victim's rights committee determined that my statutory rights were violated and the state records oversight process found that evidence of the crime was not properly preserved. Those are not my opinions. Those are official findings from the state of Utah. Official findings from the state of Utah. What concerns me most is not just that these violations occurred, but how city leadership has responded afterward. At one point, the city manager told me if he'd been my position, he would have hit the person who assaulted me. Think about the culture and problems that come from that mindset of answering violence with more violence.

[laughter]

instead of enforcing the law and protecting victims. At the same time, the posture west valley city's taken appears to be driven by the city prosecutor's office, an office that the third district victim's rights committee has already found violated victim's rights laws. And all the while, the elected leadership of this city has remained largely silent. Respectfully, you are the elected leadership of this city. You're responsible for ensuring that when oversight bodies find violations that those problems are corrected. If the people entrusted with enforcing the law instead create a culture where victims are ignored and accountability is avoided, then elected leadership must ask questions about whether those individuals should remain in those positions. Your responsibility is not to protect officials from criticism. It's to protect the public, citizens of West Valley City, and to ensure the system works. Victims should not have to fight city hall, to have them follow the law. Evidence shouldn't be destroyed. Oversight findings should not be ignored. My goal is not conflict with this city. My goal is to make sure that no future victims in West Valley City have to experience what happened here. I hope some members of this council are willing to have a serious conversation about how these problems can be fixed. I'd welcome the opportunity to speak with any of you after this meeting. The findings already exist.

Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone that wish to speak that did not have a chance to sign up? Okay, we'll move on to our public hearings. We'll begin with application. Oh, sorry. I'm just I always skip this part. Sorry. Is there any comment from the council? or staff. Okay, now we'll go to the public hearings. [laughter] Thank you though. Um, application Z10 2025 and this is our first public hearing of the three. This is a request for a zone change at 7020 West 3100 South from agriculture to single family residential with a minimum lot size of 20,000 square ft. The applicant would like to split their property in half, retain the existing home on the west lot, and build a new home on the east lot. I'll now open the public hearing. Is there anyone here to that wishes to speak on this item? Okay, you may come to the mic.

Hello, my name is Emily Callahan.

Will you repeat when you get to the mic? My name is Emily Callahan. I live I guess it's like three houses on the street behind on Dalmatian Street. Um we bought our house like seven years ago. It's been a pretty developed lot. Um since then, these guys have built a massive home. um several structures in the backyard that I know don't meet code. Um it's kind of impeded like all of our living in that area. Um the houses are built they they raised the the lot that's already built um several feet so I know it's flooding other people's properties. They have roosters which I know we're not supposed to have roosters in our neighborhood. um having parties with massive speakers till 4:00 or 5 in the morning. I'm concerned if they build another house, it's going to impede all of our living even more. Um it's it's very much affected it. Like these sheds that are in their backyard are higher than most of the houses in our neighborhood. So I know they have donkeys, all sorts of different livestock, which is fine, but like I said, I know the roosters we are not supposed to have. So, it just makes me worried what else is going to happen on that law.

Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Is there anyone else wishing to speak on this item?

Hello, my name is Skyler. I also live on Dalmatian Street, just down from there. And I just like to emphasize on everything that Emily had said that I mean [clears throat] it's their property. They should be able to, you know, do what they want with it and everything else. However, my problem is their their disregard for all their neighbors and everything else. And I share the same concerns. They don't care with the roosters, their animals, and stuff like that. [snorts] They don't care about their music that goes late. And I have the same concerns. if another house goes in there by the same owner, what are we what are we going to be signing up for? So, that's my thoughts on the situation. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

Anyone else? [snorts]

My name is uh Jose Harmo. Uh my address is 7020 West 3100. So I'm at the owner and I'm uh doing the application and uh all I want is just divide a lot because it's too big. It's one acre. So I'm trying to [snorts] split it half like I talk um last time the appropriate it's been divided for two lots since the beginning. once have water sew and everything on on the other half it's already hook it and I know the neighbors are um not happy maybe because the roosters you know we had the that lot it's agricultural and if they talk to me I mean I I rid of the the roosters easy like we got chickens we don't have other kind of animals and honestly I do potties like one every two years Last time I had music was last uh next month is going to be one year. That was the very last time I have no music and I had a body and not uh no after 10. That's the truth. And uh all I want to just divide so we can build another house or sell the lot because it's one acre is too much for me for for my family. So that's that's all I want to say.

Okay. Thank you. Okay. Was there anyone else that wished to speak? Okay. I will now close the public hearing and turn the time over to the council for discussion or a motion. We have two action items. One for the zoned change and one for the development agreement to the council.

So, I just wonder if we could clarify. Um, I don't know if it's Steve that would come up or not, but since this is now being subdivided and the zoning, is that for both lots is going to be changed to the R120? And will that then limit what types of animals and things can be on the property? Yes. So, um, all of the property, both lots would be in the R120 zone, which would no longer allow, uh, animals. Now, um, in residential areas, you can still have up to four chickens, but, uh, but as far as, you know, donkeys or other farm animals, they would not be able to do that. Okay. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you. While you're there, Steve, could you clarify um the It seems like in the development agreement there was uh something about the outbuildings. Yes. Could you could you uh help us understand that? You bet. So there there were some detached buildings that were um they're not completed but were erected without uh permits. And so um that's something where the city's already started enforcement action on that. But in the development agreement, it basically says that those structures either need to be removed or brought it up to code and and that has to happen before we would issue a permit for any new house.

Thank you. Okay. And then do you know if there's been any complaints from surrounding neighbors about the flooding? I am I'm not aware of any flooding complaints that may have come come through public works, but I'm I personally have not heard flooding complaints. Okay. Thank you. One more question just on the flooding. Uh new building permits would require adequate drainage. Correct. Right. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you,

Steve. Sorry, [snorts] Steve. Steve, Steve, [clears throat] if someone did build a house and they didn't properly drain their property to where it was flooding the neighbor, um what would the neighbors recourse be? Yeah. So, it really is in that situation, um usually it's a civil matter between two owners. Um, I mean there there are examples where particularly if there's a lot of topography between lots where the city may require like a a um retaining

a swell or some other kind of retaining to to try to prevent that. This lot's pretty flat. So um um I know I know it's true that this um the back part of the property was raised and so but they did do a retaining wall. Uh but yeah, typically um if there's flooding issues between neighbors, it'd be a it'd be a civil dispute basically. Thank you. But they would be required to to satisfy all of the demands of the the building permit. Correct. Which which would require drainage if that's deemed necessary. Is that true?

Right. It's they're they're supposed to uh maintain drainage on their lot. So, for example, not having um you know, their driveway, for example, drain onto the neighbor's property. Okay. Any more questions for Steve? Okay. Thank you, sir. Okay. Thank you.

I move for approval of ordinance 26-06. Second. Thank you. I have a motion and a second. Miss. Council member Wood. Yes. Council member Wetstone. Yes. Council member Harmon. Yes. Council member Hume. Yes. Council member Christensen. Yes. Council member Nordfelt. Yes. And Mayor Lang. Yes. Motion passes unanimously. You and then we still have the development agreement. Motion to approve resolution 26-22. Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Miss Kamik. Council member Nordfelt, yes. Council member Christensen, yes. Council member Hune,

yes. Council member Harmon, yes. Council member Wetstone, yes. Council member Wood, yes. And Mayor Link, yes. Motion passes unanimously.

Okay. Thank you. We'll now move to our second public hearing this evening, application ZPZ12026. This is a request for a general plan zone change for property at 5035 West Park Lake Boulevard and 2736 South Corporate Park Drive. The request would change the general plan from medium density residential to high density residential and the zoned from R18 to mixed use. The applicant is proposing a development that would include the following uses. 15 single unit dwellings, 76 four cell town homes, 44 rent town homes, 180 apartments within fourstory buildings, and 56 apartments within a fivestory building. The total number of units is 368 and the density is 14 units per acre. I will now open the public hearing. Is there anyone here to speak on this item and then Yep. Come on up and give us your name and address which I think I forgot to say last time. Greetings, mayor, council. My name is Nicole McCrae. I live at 20 5228 West Sandwell Drive. I am the elected HOA president for the 198 homes in Hibbury Place, um which is the community directly south and southwest of this development. Um we were once before surprised with zoning changes when Pinnacle Hybury apartments were built and at that time none of our homes were within the 300 ft

notification requirement. Pinnacle came with severe parking issues which led us to having to fight for the city to post no parking signs in the streets in front of our very own homes. Um, as apartment parking spilled out into our community, we suffered an increase in crime as well. [snorts] After the two after two previous planning commissions with votes of denial for plans brought forth by Wasatch, our community has been working with them to come up with a plan that we can all agree on. It's not that we don't want to see development. Our community just wants to see it done in a way that best complements the area and maintains the piece of Hybrid without seeing a giant uptick in [snorts] crime and traffic. It's also very important to note that the Bangador Highway renovation will bring all traffic through Hibbury Parkway with the elimination of the 3100 South exit. [snorts] Wasuch will argue that we need a variety of home types and hybrid to accommodate the medical park and research facilities that [snorts] they are being built that they are going to be building. But our argument is that we already have a variety of available adjacent with Pinnacle Apartments, Garbet Homes, Ivory Town Homes, Liberty Common Apartments, the Sandalwood Apartments, Balmoral, and newly planned and approved R18 on Daybury Drive and 4800 West near Monachello Academy. Hibbury Place does not agree with the intent to place five fourstory buildings, apartment buildings, and we asked Wasatch to replace these with homes as our first preference andor town houses as our second preference. We have also tried to negotiate by asking them to reduce um the fourstory the five

four-story apartment buildings to threetory. Um [snorts] none of our suggestions were entertained. It's important to know that um I personally and many of my fellow 108 um 198 houses um do not have any um problems [snorts] with their proposal other than the planned departments. Um, Deoy Hansen, who is the CEO of Wasatch Development Group, stated that at the planning commission meeting in which GPZ1 was presented initially, and I I'm paraphrasing, he said that he doesn't need the money and is only looking to do what's best for the community. So, as pre-existing hybrid owners, we don't understand why the apartments can't be eliminated altogether and houses or town houses be added or put in their place. Here are some things that we are pleased with with their plan. We are pleased with the homes that run on Redbridge and Sandwell. Those are 15 and one park as a buffer between our existing homes and the new development. Um they have an offer to extend Monachello's um drive-thru to help alleviate the traffic problems that happen there for um pickup and drop off of students. [snorts] Um they have moved their pickle board their pickle ball courts more center. Um this isn't the most recent um updated and I'm sure that Chris will present that to you. Um but they have moved those pickle ball courts more center towards the center of the community because we were concerned about noise. Um they have provided more parking than West Valley City currently requires which was a huge issue previously with Pinnacle. Um we asked them for a walkthrough for

the Monachello students or Monaceel, I'm sorry, however you'd like to say it. But we did ask for a student walkth through from the school into the interior of the existing community. We do have students that walk back and forth and we feel having them walk all the way down to street access isn't as safe. Um planning commission did not recommend that option, but we still think it is needed for student safety. Um, we love the fencing and the landscape between the homes and the new development. And they have offered our community um, passes for a fee to use some of their amenities. I don't think a density change from medium to high is necessary.

Ma'am, yes. Time's over. Okay. Sorry, it's not counting up. Is it not coming down? No. Oh, it's on the screen down below. I apologize. I was looking at the timer up above. All right. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Um, anyone else? [snorts]

Hello, mayor, council members. Thank you for your time and your service. My name is Scott Cameron. I live in Hibbury at 5061 West Brixom Way. Um, and I would just like to have my comments in opposition to GPZ12026. [snorts] Uh, Nicole does a great job presenting the issues, so I won't repeat those. Um, I am in favor of having this area developed, but I would like to see it developed in the current zoning instead of changing it to a higher density uh, zoning. in particular. I think the four and fivetory buildings will make a significant change to the nature of our uh neighborhood and then just that this zoning represents a transfer of wealth from the current residents in the hibberry area to the developer. I would like us to just keep the current zoning. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you. Anyone else? Okay. Hello, mayor and council. My name is Chris Toronto. I've got a little presentation up here. Um, and then the time where's the time clock? Right down there. Cool. Next slide, please. Um, so just Wasatch Group. We've been around for 37 years and have been very involved in communities here in West Valley City. Next, next slide, please. [clears throat] One example of that is right next door to us, the Fairborn Office Park, and Hotel. just demonstration of the type of quality of developments that we um pride ourselves on and we are long-term land owners that would like to be involved here in West Valley City for the long haul. Next slide, please. Um so our our objectives are to build a soft residential transition uh between the existing neighborhood and the existing and future commercial and industrial uses. Uh we'd like to provide variable home ownership opportunities in West Valley City, a goal that I know is your one of your city's goals. um efficiently buffer the existing residential neighborhoods by creating and creating a cohesive master plan community connected by trails open space amenities um implementing high quality architecture and fulfilling obligations of building communities in an opportunity zone. Uh next slide please. Um just a quick overview of the whole kind of lake park area and how our site fits into it. The one that we're talking about is labeled Hibberry North. Um Dayberry High are two other residential developments that kind of tie into this but are separate from this application. Uh Lake Park is just an example of other areas that uh our company is involved in developing. Next slide please. Uh this is just illustrating that these sites are included in an opportunity zone. Next slide please. Um this one is to represent kind of uh our goal in trying to integrate proper planning principles. Um you've got the existing neighborhood. So the we made an effort to try and buffer that with a strip of single family homes right there. layering in town homes, uh upping the density a

little bit with those town homes right behind it and then pushing the highest density those apartment buildings as far away from that existing neighborhood right right up along uh those major roads. And um so again, we're trying to incorporate property transition principles as you get to single family neighborhoods to commercial industrial uses. Next slide, please. Um this slide is to illustrate that of the total acreage of the three different projects that we have actively going over there. Of the 53 acres, 74% of that acreage will be devoted to single family homes. Uh furthering the city's goal of home ownership. Uh we took that into account. That was feedback we received both from the the neighborhood and from planning commission. So the goal here was to provide as much uh home ownership possibilities as possible. Next slide, please. Uh this is the Dayberry parcel that uh received preliminary approval. We just got comments back. will be submitted for final approval. It's 43 lots in R18 zoning, 8,000 foot lots. Next slide, please. This next one illustrates the southern uh residential portion that's directly adjacent to the subject site. This would be 32 large lot uh under the and we are bringing this before you guys in the next couple weeks uh to reszone that into the re zone. Uh next slide, please. Uh this is a previous plan that was uh presented to the planning commission and I want to bring this up just to show you that we've heard the input and we've altered the plan accordingly. This plan shows a bit the big commercial surf pool in the middle. It had a six-story building next to it. It had taller buildings on the south side of that pool which were much closer to the neighborhood. It really had no buffer transitional piece from that neighborhood into that site other than a linear park in some of those town homes. And um please go to the next slide. Now you can see our updated plan. This is integrating the feedback we received from planning commission. So we've grouped the for sale town homes together. We've kind of grouped the for rent town homes together. You can see the single family buffer strip that we provided there. Um again parking was a big concern. We have overparked this to

accommodate for excess parking so that we don't have those same concerns. Um this says 67. This is actually 107 less rental units than the previous plan because we didn't account for the 40 uh that went from rental to for sale. There's no surf pool or any commercial application. The density was pushed as far away from the existing neighborhood as possible. Next slide, please. Um, next, sorry, other way. Um, this is to illustrate the site is actually sitting 8 ft below grade on street level. So, the intent is to actually keep it low, not bring in any fill, keep it sunk so that any of those taller buildings actually appear a floor less than they actually are. Um, to help alleviate concerns that we've heard. Next slide, please. Um, just another illustration of what some of the homes could look like there on Sandwell Drive with the project being behind that. Next slide, please. Um, an example of the proposed architecture and the materials that we are committing to in the development agreement. Next slide, please. Uh, one more illustration of rendering of kind of how this looks to try and give you an idea of how far away those tall buildings are from the single family homes. Next slide, please. Um, the current zoning would allow for 143 zones. That's the R18 zoning, both Highberry North Aberry, the agricultural zone in Highberry South. Our plan is actually trying to bring in 167 homes of that are variable price points and variable sizes. Next slide, please. Um, so to kind of wrap it up, the ask is to go to high density in the general plan. I understand that we also are trying to not max out that high density and go up to 20 units an acre. We're gapping it at 14 units an acre. Last point, we're just trying to meet in the middle and incorporate everybody. Thank you.

Is there anyone else that wishes to speak? Okay, seeing no one else, I will now close the public hearing and turn the time over to the council for discussion or a motion. We have three action items. One for the general plan change, one for the zone change, and one for the development agreement to the council. Yep.

Comment, mayor. Uh the council recently received a report from the ChemC Gardener Institute that I thought was pretty fascinating and it talked about uh the different housing um that's within not only West Valley City but the northwest Salt Lake County including uh Salt Lake City West, Taylor'sville, Magna, and Karns. And West Valley had the most by far most apartment units in our city. at 9,195 apartment units. Um, our city is doing great as far as bringing in new businesses and great jobs. We uh highpaying jobs and I I fear that um without um more diverse housing including uh nicer homes, larger homes. There's also in that Kimcy Gardener report, it shows average square footage of single family homes within uh all or many cities throughout the state of Utah. And West Valley is ranked among the lowest of having um a variety of larger size homes. And so I just want to there's very little developable land remaining in the city and I'd like to see that precious land being developed with homes that can accommodate um people that want to work in our city and live in our city.

Thank you. Um Steve, maybe uh maybe ask [clears throat] Steve Patrick a couple question if you don't mind. Steve, um the plan right now in front of me, it's kind of like uh I don't know, you have it somewhere right there in front of you, right? I do. Yes. Uh I remember about two or three years ago, they came to talk to you guys. I don't know to us yet, but to you guys about Is that the same plan they have right now?

No. It it was it was different. So, there's a a plan forwarded in 2023 and then also one in 24. It had some of the similar components of town homes and apartments, but it was in both instances it was different from what you're you're seeing today. What's the difference?

So, um and this is in the the the the minutes from the planning commission meeting. So taking the the last proposal in 24 um there were 435 units the the density was 16 and a half units per acre and so this proposal has fewer units with lower density. The other one probably the biggest difference is in this plan there's a row of homes along that south side. So single family detached homes. The prior uh proposal did not include that. that had town homes going all the way down to the the southern border of the property.

Okay. And is that they I think they plan it or they show it to you guys about the pool have a way. Is that right? Right. It it did have a a um big high essentially a pool you could surf on and that that's no longer part of this proposal. Oh, where is that? Why is it gone somewhere? It it was actually um there's quite a bit of neighborhood opposition to that. Um just concerned about that being open to the public and generating traffic and the noise from that and so that uh concept was removed.

And the piece of land right on the north side of this piece of property is at the vacant land right there. So what is the our future? What are we going to do with that vacant land up to the north on the north side of Lake Boulevard? So right now the the city's plan is for larger lot residential. That's what's in the city's plan. It's zoned agricultural, but uh but that's that that's the situation as of right now. And who owned that land? You know, by chance to the north. It's also was

okay. Um one last question I want to ask you is that um the corner 41 resell and redwood. know that one uh the apartment right there um is that 404 units. Is that right? That's I know it's over 400. I don't remember the exact number but it's over 400. Yeah. Okay. And how many acres uh yeah for for that piece of land?

I don't recall off top of my head. I know the density was uh quite a bit higher than than this. So it it had uh included structured parking and so um so it it was more dense. It's also taller. That building was six stories, I believe. So Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions for Steve before he gets all the way back to his chair? [laughter] Okay. Doesn't look that way. Thank you.

Thank you. I have to agree with Will that um we have done our fair share for the apartments and rentals. I think home ownership is a big plight of the state to give our kids someplace to set down roots and to stay. So I would rather see the what's already zoned there come in or even less of a density in this area. Um, I drive through Lake Park quite a bit and traffic is not great, especially when school is getting in or getting out. And it was designed, the street system was designed for the general plan and not for this high of a density. Um, so I don't think this is a great fit for that area. Yeah, I um I've been thinking about this a lot. Um I know we're not uh no land to build more. We have to build up. I understand that. Um but also at the same time we have to uh to figure out um like Mary says last time in a meeting about um another project we going to have here soon is uh 3500,300 west and I want more homes in that

area. The reason why because the ownership on one more rental um we have to take our city up into another level and I know I know it's very very nice plan I really like it u and I know no land so I have to build up there's no problem with that but I'm missing about the pool right here too uh at night I have a big ways and but uh maybe cause a problem with the traffic. I would love to see that ownership in that area as more homes. Make a motion. Sure. Can I do a call? Sorry.

Sorry. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here. So, um I too, like one of the neighbors said, would like to see this property developed. I always ask, is this the right project for this area? And the answer that I get is no. Um I too am for home ownership. Um we have a lot of apartments is I've appreciated the report from the Ken Gardener Institute. Um again I just don't think this is the right place for for adding more high more high density homes and not owner occupied. So I'm kind of going along with the rest of the group here.
