Great. Thank you. Like to welcome everyone this evening. And uh I have to say whoever decided to turn the heat off, please turn it back on. Uh it's a little little chilly out there. And that's actually coming from someone who's originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So I don't like the cold weather anymore. So there you go. Okay. Uh announcements, staff, any announcements this evening? No, sir. Okay. Uh presentations? No, sir. Nothing. Okay. Any agenda changes? No, sir.

Great. Okay. Um, so we have the minutes from the October 13, 2025 planning commission. Hopefully, everyone's had an opportunity to take a look at those. Any comments, changes, omissions to those? No. Okay. If we have none, then like to entertain a motion to approve the minutes as submitted. I'd like to make a motion that we approve the minutes as submitted. Okay. We have a second. We have a motion and a second. Any other comments or questions? No. Okay. If that's the case, all those in favor of approving the minutes as submitted for October 13th signify by saying I. I. I.

Minutes are approved. As submitted. Okay. Old agenda items. Nothing. Okay. So, we're going to roll right into the new agenda items for this evening. The first is building elevations White Oak Dental 500 Stevens Entry. And I'm going to turn it over to staff.

Okay. So, um the these elevations are what's being proposed for um the children's uh the pediatric dental office that'll be located, as you said, at 500 Stevens Centry. Uh this is the zoning map. It's zoned LUC 25. Um if you may recall, they were just in here not too long ago for their conceptual site plan. Uh there's two lots here, and the lot in question uh that we're dealing with today tonight is here in the back. Uh here is uh the colored elevations that are being proposed and um the the uh land land development ordinance. That's a mouthful usually. Um establishes general goals for architectural design. Um design of all structures should be unobtrusive an unobtrusive design uh material and color that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings and also surrounding development. Um as a general rule front facade should be at least 80% primary materials such as brick and stone and side facad should be at least 50%. So the intent uh per the architects they say the intent of this building is to create a welcoming farmhouse feel uh that suggests a home more more than an office um in hopes that this will calm anxious children as they um come for their dental appointments. So this proposal includes uh fiber cement board and batten siding with a brick water table as you can see here that is on all sides of the building all four sides. Uh and a metal roof is also being proposed. Um so the fiber cement is uh similar to brick and stone in that it's a durable uh lowmaintenance material and as well as longasting. Um

and with that uh taking that into consideration the um material they would there would be 100% primary materials on all four sides of the building. Uh the actual amount of brick uh is 19% on the entrance side of the building which is this one right here. And then um the rear of the building, the other long side 27% the side uh that faces Steven's entry 27% and that is this side of the building right here and then the opposite side uh at 29%. Uh the land development ordinance establishes guideline for colors. uh they should be uh low reflectance, subtle, neutral or earth tones. And here is the color palette and materials that are being proposed. The board and bat and siding right here uh is proposed to be Sherwin Williams Alabaster, which is described as a soft, warm, but balanced white. The water table is a Cherokee by Cherokee brick uh called Oxford. It's got a deep brown base with variations in tones. Uh this the metal windows and door frames will be black anodized aluminum. There are some timber brackets being proposed. All these sorry. There we go. All these right here are timber brackets to add to that farmhouse look. Uh they'll be stained with a dark oak stain. And then the roofing um the preferred color uh is gvaloom which is oops sorry wrong direction is this um this uh gray color and then as an

alternate if you care to discuss or prefer uh is this charcoal gray color uh in your packet um I forgot to include it in the presentation in your packet is a is a photo of the adjacent building. Uh it's very similar in colors and so staff feels the palette is neutral and the colors and materials complement the neighboring building. Um therefore meeting the requirements of the land disturbance land development ordinance, excuse me. Could you go back one slide? Yes, I can. There you go. And the applicant is also here. Yeah. To answer your questions.

Perfect. Oh, I'm going to go ahead and if the applicant can or represent, please come up to the microphone and state your name and who you represent. Good afternoon or good evening. Um, my name is Jim Bergen um with HDA Architects and we represent the architect of record for this project and for Dr. Popp. Perfect. Thank you. [snorts] Okay. Um going to go ahead and open it up. Uh let me ask anything else to to add to staff's presentation.

Um Laura pretty much nailed it. Uh we really just want to create a very almost like a home. I I don't want to say residential, but a home feel for the to make the child feel more comfortable. We also wanted to make sure we complemented the building that's adjacent to us. We didn't want to come in and create this, you know, imposing building that wasn't consistent with the development. So, we felt like with this combination, we were very close to complimenting what was already there. Um, and again, just trying to make it just a a building that will pop but but will serve a purpose of calming the children. Perfect. Thank you. Okay, I'm going to open it up for questions to start and I'm going to go ahead and start with Commissioner Allen.

All right. Uh the only question I have because this looks really nice is on the description up here the colors you have like a green or a brown option and then on the Can you go back to the last slide please? Laura, on that one you show a gray, light gray, dark gray as options for the roof. Yeah. So I think that the printing might be a little bit off. I do. We do have some samples uh of the metal roof up front if you want me to bring them to you. Sure. Yeah, I'd like that. Yes, please. You may. Absolutely. So, this is the owner's preferred selection. All right.

Right here. Um that is called Galvaloom. It's a standing sea metal roof. Um if that is becomes a question, um we've had this conversation. We are we would be willing to also do what is called the charcoal grid. Go ahead and um lift up the brick sample so they can see it as well. And this is this is the the brick to be intended to be using dropping and this is the water. Yeah.

And then uh this is just a represent of the black aluminum that the window storefront window frames will be. And then this is alabaster. Perfect. [snorts] Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you. If I had my preference, I'd go with a charcoal gray, but I don't own the building. Thank you. Yeah. Any any other questions? My preference would be the charcoal gray as well. Yep. I think it makes it look less like of a warehouse and more of a home. Yeah, sure. Do you have Do you have any other questions? Commissioner Allen, Commissioner Gant, any questions? Commissioner Chris, questions?

Yeah, just a question for staff. Um, I think this looks great. Um, h how how how come we haven't defined the fiber cement as a primary material? Just out of curiosity, is that something that we can do in the UDO? Absolutely.

Because I think it looks really nice in this design. And you know to to your point that you put in the materials it's uh very durable and longlasting. So I think it's something we should consider as we continue to take a look at the UDO because I think this is you know if you if you look at the percentages here you know I'm not sure that they actually meet um what's required under the uh the the ordinance but I think it looks fantastic. So I think we should probably consider changing that. So,

so if I can add something, Commissioner, I think one of the the things that I would encourage is that where you're seeing areas that need enhancements, um, our code can be slightly dated a little on some things. Um, so that if you see things that would enhance and bring that beautifification that you're looking for, just note that and we'll make sure we look into that. Yeah, I'll pass it along to Ken, too. But yeah, no, no questions about this particular project. Yeah. Okay, great. Commissioner Halverson, any questions?

Um, [clears throat] it looks good. I like the scale. Um, so you did a good job of breaking that down. The only question I have, well, I'll agree with the rest of my commissioners that the darker roof as you have it rendered is probably the best pallet. Uh, the only question I have is lighting. Um, I noticed you don't have any lighting on the building. [clears throat] There will be um some downward there are some sconces that go along the permanent building. I think they're every 12 ft and they will they project down the face of the building. Okay. So there there's nothing that faces out toward the parking lot or nothing that faces up faces [snorts] down.

Just want you to kind of focus on the entrance because at night those kind of things. Um but other than that looks good. Commissioner Herson, any other comments? No sir. Commissioner Chris, any other comments? No, it was great. Commissioner Allen, comments? Nothing to add. Commissioner Gam, well done. Thank you. And and overall, I I think it looks really good, especially where it's going to be sitting back kind of in in the woods a bit. And I think it's complimentary to the uh you know, the existing building that's that's adjacent to it. Um I I tend to agree. I I think the um the charcoal gray would would probably look a bit better than just the [clears throat] straight aluminum kind of color. Yes, you please

come up to the microphone and give your name. Ben PPP, owner. Sure. Eventually. Uh charcoal gray it is. Okay. Great. [laughter] Thanks, Ben. Great. It's it's it's just the suggestion. Um you know, but I I think good points. Let's do it. I think it's going to give [laughter] it a better I think we all have consensus. It's going to give it a bit better look to it. So yeah, thank you per. Appreciate you. Absolutely. Appreciate you guys. Okay. Any other uh questions or comments? I'll move to approve the building elevations for White Oak Dental at 500 Stephen and Steven's entry. I'll second. Okay.

I guess do we need to document the suggestion for the Okay. So, could we with a condition that the charcoal gray color be used for the roofing material? Okay. And do we have a second on the I'll second that. So, we have a motion to approve uh the building elevations white oak vent 500 Stevens entry um with the condition that the standing se metal roof be of the charcoal gray. We have a second. Any other questions, comments? No. Okay. If none, all those in favor of approving the building elevations white dental 500 Stevens entry with the condition signify by saying I. I. I.

Okay. Building elevation white dental 500 Stevens entry approved with condition. Thank you very much.

Okay. Next we have building elevation modifications Royal Condos 215 North Lake Drive. And turn it back to staff. All right. So, the architect has um coming to us with some proposed uh modifications for uh colors and materials for the mixeduse development um at North Lake Drive. Um and the modifications being requested due to an issue with availability of materials. Um you may recall well this was originally approved I believe was back in I don't know it was either 2020 2022 and then in 2023 um they modified the design and and that was approved uh [clears throat] and now they are again coming to us because of uh issues with availability. So, the percentage of primary materials will remain the same and the proposed colors are similar, very similar. Uh, still neutral. Um, like I said, similar to the shades that were approved in 2023. Sorry. Here's the uh the property zoned um LUC34. And this is a comparison of the colors that were approved in 2023. uh direct comparison to the colors being proposed now. So, you'll see there's a change um in the color of the siding, but still very similar both of these. Um this Well, this is kind of hard to see up here, isn't it?

Mhm.

Um again, this is almost identical. And then there's a change. Well, the brick I think it's a a new manufacturer perhaps. And um but almost an identical color. And the biggest change is probably this stone here. And you do have all of the um the materials, the four brick and the stone down here in front of you. [cough and clears throat] And then they provided some updated [clears throat] renderings for you to see. So this is the area with the the new stone, uh the the darker the dark brick and this um this metal colors in here, the bronze metal colors. And that is all.

Okay, great. Thank you, staff. Do we have uh the applicant or applicant representative? Please come up to the microphone and state your name and who you represent. Jefferson Brown, Jefferson Architecture owner. Um same type of thing. We we were here last week or last month about availability of materials. We're doing the best we can to uh minimize the differentials uh because of all the prior approvals. So uh we do have samples in front of you and and hopefully you agree that uh they are similar.

Great. Okay, I'm going to uh turn over for questions. Commissioner Halverson, any questions of staff or the applicant? I'm at a disadvantage. Um, partially because it was already approved previously. So, it's difficult for me to kind of express my personal opinion on on the design. Um, if I were to just look at the material change, I would say it's close to what you had before. And I understand you had correct a challenge. Thank you. Commissioner Cruz, any questions? No questions. Commissioner Allen, any questions?

I do. Can we go to the rendering? And this is for my own edification more than uh it was my [clears throat] original understanding that the and we discussed this earlier amongst ourselves and I think I might have been wrong now looking at the renderings that it was going to be apartments, condos up top with businesses on the bottom. These look more like garages on the bottom. So, is for example the unit in front of the truck, is that all one unit or is there business on the floor level and living space up top?

On these renderings, uh, they're really not the best of the rendering package that we had. Those are retail on the lower level. There's a balcony walkway that projects forward towards you and then the condo unit is actually pushed back. So, it creates a access walkway across the front of this one. But it but it is all multi-use rather than just residential. No change at all to the previous approval. And and all this plan reflects all the negotiation and the things that the city wanted. We we're not changing any of those. And again, it was only for my I wasn't on the board when it was done. Just my edification. Thank you. I have no questions. I believe these are the garages. Is that right, Jefferson? This is the back. The tops of the garages that are at the rear.

Thank you very much. Good. Commissioner Gant, any questions? Just a clarification. And I'm assuming no other design changes other than material. That is correct. I'm going to stay with you. Any comments? No other comments. Commissioner Allen, any comments? No further questions or comments. Commissioner Chris, appreciate you coming back to us. Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner Cverson. Any any thoughts? Any other comments? And yeah, definitely understand, you know, availability of materials, you know, especially over the time. Um I I think they're very very similar. Um and uh I think it's a good substitution from from what you presented. So thank you. Thank you. Okay.

Okay. So do we have a motion to approve the building elevation modifications Royal Condos 215 North Lake Drive? I'll make it I would like to make a motion that we approve the elevation changes as requested to the Royal Condos at 215 North Lake Drive. Okay. So we have a motion to approve. Second. And we have a second. Any other comments or questions? Okay. All those in favor of approving the building elevation modifications Royal Condos 215 North Lake Drive signify by saying I. I. I. Okay. The building elevation modifications Royal Condos 215 North Lake Drive. Uh approved as submitted. Okay. One last question. Just when do you think they'll be done?

I'm a minute. [laughter] Put the man on the spot. Record. That's why I asked after the fact. [laughter] This the construction schedule I saw is showing 14 months. Thank you. Okay, perfect. Okay, and the last new agenda item is the building elevation modifications NCR 200 Highway 74 South. Turn it back to staff.

All right. So, this is um this is a proposal for an existing uh industrial property. some exciting uh upgrades that are being proposed. The project uh site is located along Highway 74. Um it does have two separate parcels and while we're the address is 200 uh South Highway 74, this is actually the portion of the building that is not affected by this proposal. And all the um you'll see all of the proposals are up on uh this parcel right here. Uh so just to point out um just to give you sort of a reference uh as far as visibility, this is the uh views of the property in the winter when some of the leaves are off the trees and it's it's still not real visible except for the existing glass portion uh that that accentuates the corner of the building. Um, we have some images in summer and now you can really see um not much visibility except for this corner. I did want to point out um on that parcel that has the address for 200. This is another uh view you might be familiar with uh as you're going down 74. This part of the building is not part of the proposal. Just wanted to make you aware of that. Um, so these are really the only two major visible points along 74 for the building. [clears throat] There's some u diagrams and existing pictures that the architect provided. Uh, this is a I included this because this is a great um aerial shot that um this is this facade. So Highway 74 uh is out here and this is that glass corner. This is the facade where um the upgrades are are being focused right

here. And then also in one spot along this side to accentuate uh an existing entry point. This also is to help uh locate you uh as to what we'll be looking at. Um this along this is that really long side that faces uh highway 74. This is the entrance where they're talking about uh doing some improvements. Then you can see these are actually red lines. This is, you know, the corner they're focusing focusing on. These are all entry points that they're upgrading. And then you see this red lines goes here and all the way down this side. And this is where all the upgrades are are focused. Uh, and just to point out, there's um two uh water tanks back here that will be removed. And then when the architect comes up, they can clarify some things. I believe there's some new loading docks uh back proposed for back here. [clears throat] So, let me just step back for a minute. Um the um sorry I've lost my place. So the proposal is to um basically clean and repaint the building. Um they'll be introducing a new corner element facing the highway which is this is similar to that other uh existing view that's just all that old glass right here. That'll be the new look. Um, again, this is sort of that aerial view that shows you all of the new where the improvements are focused. Uh, and then this view is looking from down this way back towards the front corner and, uh, highlighting the front corner there.

Um, the proposal does include uh fiber cement cladding that will resemble a vintage wood and steel look. Uh, plus the new new storefront windows. And the majority of the upgrades, as I've said, are focused on this north side of the building. Um, the existing building does not contain any primary materials, uh, such as brick or stone or the fiber cement. Um, and as I mentioned, the upgrades do include um some fiber cement sighting. Again, long lasting, lowmaintenance material, similar to brick and stone. Um, the quantity of uh the proposed fiber cement is on the north facade, which is the side where things are focused about 36%. Um when I give you these numbers, I don't include glass in the calculations. Uh the east side, which is a side that faces Highway 74, uh will remain mostly um as it is uh with stucco and glass um with only a new uh portion of fiber cement that's about 850 square feet, which is approximately 9 and a half% along that whole side, which you saw was uh really long. The south side of the building will remain uh as is as well as the west side which is I believe metal panels and glass. Um color the colors uh established in the land development ordinance uh should be neutral or earth tones and blend with the natural uh surroundings and and adjacent development. um the proposed color panel, excuse proposed colors. Here's by the way, this is the the other the long facade and this is the entrance uh that they want to focus on just bringing some

attention to this entrance. And I'll let the architect explain uh the alternate proposal. This is the same a different design for the same entrance. Um it's a material sheet here. You've got your fiber cement panels uh looking like the wood, cedar wood, uh and also looking like steel. Um the stone being proposed is not on the building. It's for some retaining uh walls that that are existing. Uh metal panels painted uh bronze color and also more of a a black. Uh new storefront windows, a dark color. And then let's see existing med existing metal panels uh to be painted basically the same color that they are now which is this light cream color. All right. Let's see. I think that about covers it. So, um the upgrades cover such a small portion of the building. They're not necessarily required to um meet the 80% 50% requirements um that we have uh for new development and redevelopment. Um however, I did want to point out that they are choosing to introduce some primary materials um where there don't exist where they don't exist now.

Great. Thank you. have the applicant or representative. [laughter] Thank you, Jefferson. Hello again.

Do you have any other uh comments? Th this was kind of a tough project and how do we approach an adaptive reuse and knowing about the 80% overall and the 50% requirements. Uh our approach was just so understand where we were coming from where we actually made a renovation or made an improvement. We try to adhere to the 80% 50% rule because we're actually only really touching when you where we're putting the niha it's less than 15% of the total facade and in and width area but that 15% of where we're touching over 80% is actually a primary material I if you consider niha a primary material and so we approached it that way and we tried to push the client into these improvements instead of just purely painting the building. And um we wanted to bring and improve that corner and the presence from that intersection. And hopefully you feel that we've done that and uh with an architectural style that that I think um I think it's a longlasting style and reflects the community.

Thank you. I'm gonna open it up for questions. Commissioner Chris, any questions of the applicant or staff?

Um, I only had one question. The if you can go to the the the slide with the read the alternate design for the entrance. So, I noticed that on the on one of the um sides that's uh at that corner, you've got a lot of um ADA type entrance uh accommodations. But this one, I don't know if I see it here. It's not very ADA friendly, right? This particular entrance. But maybe you've accounted for that elsewhere. I I can't answer that. And that's why there are two alternatives depending on who rents or who they get an agreement with. They may require ADA and they may require an elevator because of the grade change because that accessibility that's there that they call ADA does not meet the ADA.

Yeah. And there's total travel distances before you get to the next elevator which is in the other phase. So they could hit it depending on the user. So if they contract with someone who is medical or assembly, they're going to need concept alternate proposal. In that one, there's a monument stair, but there's also an elevator. So they le they enter at a level of the parking with ADA parking right in the front of that structure. So that's why we presented two so we didn't have to come back. But you understand what we were trying to consider. We don't have a tenant. We don't have commitments to that space.

So depending on the tenant one uh option the alternate would be required for ADA if medical does expand into that. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, just a personal preference because of, you know, different tenants that could be either attracting the public visitors or not attracting public visitors. I think the alternate proposal is probably the better one, but they both look fine to me. As long as uh is that that's being considered and I appreciate you you explaining that. The upper alternate, just so you know, there there you know how there's a lot of sports training,

there's a lot of sports training that happens and they could access, they don't care, they would access at the back of the building, they can walk right in. grade and then this just becomes the second egress within the travel distance and it doesn't have to have an elevator. It doesn't have to have a ramp. Got it. Because the other exit point satisfies the ADA. Got it. Okay, perfect. Yeah. Nothing further. Commissioner Hersonson, any questions? I [clears throat] prefer your alternate appro approach. Um, yeah. Um, can we go back to the primary elevation?

Yes. Um, obviously I appreciate what you've done relative to the hierarchy and everything else. It it makes complete sense. The only question I have is why did you choose so much black? It it it's what's existing there. Oh, is it? On on the frames and on the windows and then we carried that one. Even the architectural uh on that 74 side, there's a window profile that's existing. We actually matched that profile to so it didn't look like an addition. Gotcha. That's where it came from. So you're just extending it basically. That's all we did.

Oh, okay. Then it makes complete sense because I'm like that just seems odd as a primary choice unless you were matching it. The tenant and there's another layer to that. The tenant that would possibly be taking that entire corner, that's their corporate colors. Enough said. Okay. Thank you for explaining that. Oh, one last question. That would look pretty nice, wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah. On the elevation. Can you go to the elevation real quick? Do you have the elevation in the presentation? I I didn't put them in. I I was trying to keep this from getting so long because the package was quite large and it it all in your packet, but

it's just a nitpicky thing on my point. I love it. The 100 pylon in the elevation is a little bit taller than the other two. And I was wondering if that was by design right there. Uhhuh. That's actually an existing height. Oh, is it? So, we're actually cladding over an existing element and then to for the flashing on the back side, the warranty it it was a 6-in curb. We raised it to 12 to get the warranty. So, it is actually 6 in taller than what's existing. Okay. Cuz I could tell by the elevation. I think he's referring to this that bump right there. Right there. Yep. See how we squared that off instead of keeping the angle? Yep. So, [clears throat] we started at the high point came across.

Okay. Could you make the others a little bit taller, too? Just make them even. We could, but on the, you know, on the developer side, if it if it's 12 in required and it looks okay, I know it's just an ask, but Okay. Thank you for answering that. Okay, Commissioner uh Gant, any questions? Oh, yeah. A couple of questions. First of all, let me just say you've taken a warehouse and you've made it more appealing. Thank you.

Uh so, I think you've done a good job doing that. I just have some questions related to maybe you've had these discussions before, but is NCR going to remain the tenant or have they vacated the building altogether? that they're actually going to be a sub uh they're actually going to lease. They're going to lease.

They're so they're sell sold. I don't know if they've closed yet. They haven't closed yet. When they close, um it will have all new ownership. NCR will remain as a tenant. And in that other that other piece of property, all their training, all that's going to remain and then they're going to have some additional warehousing in this phase, but it'll be at at the back where the water containers are. Where will looking at the site plan, where will uh NCR be over here? I think what he's saying is they'll be down in this portion. Down in that portion right there. Down here. Remember that that second entrance?

Yep. Yep. That second entrance, they have a training facility. There's a nice curved and glass reception area and elevator and Got it. All of that's staying. That's why there's no improvements there because they're they're going to not own but lease and they'll stay there. So, you're making that this is becoming a multi-tenant building essentially. Potentially. Yeah. And that's why when they asked about the loading docks at the back um

that was a question we're looking for and talking to business and medical uh they want to occupy the front. They don't want to be in the core of the building because there's no natural daylight. NCR needs some additional warehousing. If we get the tenants in the front, then NCR is going to need those proposed. We were just letting you know what was kind of in the conversation and what potentially could happen. So, those parking space uh those docks there uh NCR may need them for their products. So, the property is currently zoned industrial or commercial? Industrial.

So, the the the reuse will be industrial as well or could be commercial. Are you going to be coming back for a zoning change or I wouldn't rule it out, but right now we have nothing signed. the you know we just wanted to get it this in front of you now and early and just see if this is the right direction and does this meet the city vision for that for that corner. I guess the the only concern that I would have is what type of future users or tenants would be there in the quality. Well, I think that anything above

so that would be my only concern. I will add that if the use changes um that will be an opportunity for them to have to come back for a reasonzoning if that takes place. So now I believe they're looking at the facade the design but the use changes we'll address that once that business license comes in if we identify there's a need for resoning our office will mention that and then we'll bring that forth to you. Understand? Yes sir. Well overall I think you've done a really good job doing this. We appreciate that. Thank you for Allen. Any questions? Can we go back to the facade for the entrance? This one? Yeah. Yes.

Just because I I don't know if I missed it or not. The difference between the upper and the lower was strictly desire for aesthetics improvement. [clears throat] Is that what I gather? ADA accessibility accessibility. The miniature elevator in there as well. That is correct. Okay. So, we're enclosing that space. There would be an entry area. And if you have that kind of entry area, you're going to have a receptionist there. Uh it's some sort of check-in, some sort of security elevator, and then to the left is a monument stair proposed. Thank you. No further questions. Okay. Go ahead. And uh stay with you for any comments. No more comments. Okay. Commissioner Gan Cins, Commissioner Chris,

this a visible corner and uh it's it's great to see the investment uh to upgrade it and make it look nice. I think it's going to be a nice addition to that area of the city that could use a little bit of uh revitalization. Agreed. Agreed. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. Commissioner Halverson comments. I think [clears throat] I've found my thing cuz you got [laughter] you've got golf guards. I think lighting is my thing. You can have it. That's okay. [laughter] I I actually made a note here. Next submitt provide lighting. Yes. [laughter] So, you know, it it it it makes buildings kind of sing. So, they really do. Yeah. So, it's really important. Please consider it. I hear

I don't have any other comments other than that. So, I I I do have um I guess the question and it's kind of looking longterm

and as you mentioned, you know, the building has may not have closed yet with the sale um and with NCR, you know, leasing a part of it. Um, as far as you know, are there any long-term plans to revitalize the other portion of the property in in the future? Um, and and the reason why is, you know, I'm looking at it that this this really both aesthetically as well as and Commissioner Chris took my word was revitalization. And this is something definitely that I've said multiple times, you know, over the couple last couple years is, you know, it's not as much redevelopment, which to me looks at at tearing it down and rebuilding it. Um, but this is really taking existing structures, which we have quite a few in Peach Tree City that may need some revitalization or properties that may need revitalization. So, I'm just curious if there's been any discussions, you know, about continuing this for the rest of the building, the rest of the property. The new ownership is very excited about the design and have asked how we could apply this to a second phase.

Perfect. That second phase is is contingent on phase one being right fit out. Yeah, understand. In whatever the the lease agreement down the road is for understand. Um and I know you know as as Commissioner Chris said, you know, that is a very noticeable corner right off of of 74 South and Pel Road. Um, you know, looking forward to see see a landscape design. Yes.

Coming in. I I think that could really be a a no better way to put it. A really beautiful, you know, kind of industrial looking area even though it's it's going to be beautified with uh, you know, with some nice plants and trees and things. What, you know, what what's there unfortunately is is overgrown. Um, you know, needs to be cut down and and revitalized. Yes. Um, so I I'm looking forward to seeing that, you know, as as we go forward. And they would love to do, as we've indicated on that rendering, is pull back those overgrown trees and shrubberies that are there. Uh, put stone on that retaining wall, upgrade that, and then work with a landscape architect to perfect it.

I I think that will definitely set set that corner off. Most definitely.

Um, and I guess my only other comment is is yes, I I would make a suggestion to go with the alternate um entrance. I I think with what you're doing um especially on that front side um the bottom left corner you know it matches up more to that um just from a lookwise plus it gives again it gives another ADA um compliant entrance into it. So I I would definitely love to be able to to see that alternative design used instead of just the steps you know going up. I I think it just like I said two reasons just look as well as as accessibility. So, I think that's great. Um, that's everything that I have. Um, any other comments, questions? No. Okay. With that, um, do we have a motion from the dis?

I'll move to approve the building elevation modifications for NCR at 200 highway 74 South. Do we want to put any suggestion as to the alternate entrance? Would we like to? Um, we could put a condition with the condition that the alternate entrance be preferred or or be, you know, I is is our preferred with the not I don't know that you want to lock them into it. I I think you would make a suggestion more so a condition. I think make a suggestion for using the alternate. Yeah. With the with the with the preference from from the planning commission that the alternate design

should be selected, but doesn't have to be. Okay. Um, any other comments from from the motion? Okay. Do we have a second? I'll second. Okay. So, we have a motion to approve the building elevation modifications NCR 200 Highway 74 South um with the suggestion of the al using the alternate entrance. Um, and we have a second. Any other comments, questions? No. Okay. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. I.

Okay. Okay. The building elevation modifications NCR 200 Highway 74 South is approved with a suggestion of the alternate entrance and thank you very much. Okay. Uh let's see. We have no public hearings. Um any member staff topics? No sir. Um I would like to speak about the um next meetings. Absolutely.

Um so as you can see above you or before you, there is a scheduled meeting the week of Thanksgiving. Um staff has identified that there could be quorum concerns. So we're asking to possibly not have that meeting um just to allow for there not to be any challenges. We wouldn't want to have someone schedule for that and then later find out of changes. And that is the week of Thanksgiving, correct? Yes, sir. That is correct. Okay. So let's let's just go ahead and ask um availability. We don't have any problem with it, Mr. Chairman. I won't be here. Okay. So we know we're we're already down one. I won't be here. We're down two. So, yeah, we're I I'll be I'll be in town that day. I'll be in town that day. Yeah.

I think the two of them should have that meeting. [laughter] Do we have Do we have topics? We don't have any items as of now. Okay. But wouldn't want to put anything on there and then change this. We wanted to bring it before you first. Yeah. I would propose that we just move to cancel that meeting because if we don't have any items at this time, it's unlikely that someone will come in the next week, right? We have to have a certain amount of notice, right? So yeah, I think from coverage standpoint, from from a quorum, I'm going to be available. We would at least have three and and I don't know if if Kenneth is available or not um from that standpoint, but again, yeah, if we don't have any topics or items, I would go ahead and recommend cancelling the November 24th.

Okay. Um, so I don't know. I don't know if your your dates were adopted by you or just just to be on the safe side, can you just make a motion? Sure, we absolutely can. On the safe side. Okay. So, do we have a motion to um cancel the November 24th planning commission meeting? I will make a motion that we cancel the November 24th planning commission meeting due to a lack of participation. Okay. Uh, do we have a second? Second. Okay. Okay. So, we have a motion to cancel the November 24th meeting as well as a second. Any other comments, questions? Nope. Okay. All those in favor of cancing the November 24th signify by saying I. I. I. Meeting of November 24th canceled.

So, your next meeting will be December 8th. Okay. And I'm sorry. Good. Commissioner, just just really quickly, I Yeah. I' I've I won't be in attendance for the ETH. Okay. Yeah. Mark that down. I'll be here. And I know we're then running into if we would have the second meeting of the month on the 22nd. We're running into to the week of of Christmas. Um, do we need to address that now? I would if I were you. That way we will know in advance.

Perfect. Okay. Um, I I I would actually recommend that we go ahead and cancel the December 22nd meeting. I would like to make a motion that we cancel the December [laughter] 22nd meeting of the planning commission due to the lack of participation. So, we have a motion to cancel the December 22nd and a second. Um, anything else? No, I really think you should be here on the 8th. I don't know what. [laughter] So, all those in favor of cancelling the December 22nd, 2025 planning commission meeting, signify by saying I. I. Meeting is canceled for December 22nd. You want to do any more? I'm getting good at this. [laughter]

One more um identification of something. Um so, sir, chairman, we have not had a UDO meeting in a while. Yes. So, I would ask for the ETH if we could all lot time for that if you're comfortable with that. What are we looking at for agenda at this time for the ETH? Any ideas?

Nothing. Okay. we have at this time. So, not to say it won't be, but I would love for there to be an opportunity to have discussions. I will share with you if I can that I have um identified a few companies that we could reach out to to ask for quotes um and I've shared that with the chairman of the committee um and I know he would like to speak at our next um committee meeting on that item. So, I would love to have the opportunity to do that so we can continue to move this project forward. I I agree and I think it's very important since we haven't had one in a while and especially since we're getting at the end of the year to go ahead and do December 8th for that. Okay. Thank you for that. Absolutely. Okay. Um anything else staff? Nope. No. Anything else from the commissioners?
