Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

think I'm good. I've been I was reading there the survey results from my class of 75 50 year anniversary thing. They're putting all this stuff together. You know what what you been up to doing the surveys? So, I was reading all that about all my classmates. Honey, some of his green, some of it like, oh, and some of us get your dails is long time. I don't have a doodad. Oh, no. I have a dude. You're ahead of yourself. I don't think I got it out. Send everybody an email. Yeah. and the company organized. Okie do. Uh, welcome to the April 22nd, 2025 city planning commission hearing. Uh, first item on the agenda tonight is roll call. Davies here. Mune here. Matthews here. Bane here. Fudge here. Jet here. Forbes here. Warl here. and Van Bells. Yep. Wow. Congratulations. We have a full house. Wow. Let's have some fun. Current copy of the Open Meetings Act of the State of Nebraska is posted on the back wall. If you need to refer to that at any time, please feel welcome to. Second item on the agenda is approval of the minutes held from March 25th, 2025. I trust you've all read them intently. I would make a motion to approve the minutes. Motion by Bane, seconded by Davies to approve the minutes as presented. Any discussion on that? Not Michelle, please. Oh,

boy. And the minutes are approved. Wake me up. Item number three is a public hearing file number Z25- Z004. Discussion consider action on application by ABC Real Estate Inc. Vieta Hill to reszone certain lands from a B2 highway commercial district to an R3 dwelling district on property located on 3001 West 9th and described as lots five and six Vincil's Replat Northplat Lincoln County, Nebraska. Judy. Okay. And you should have all received a copy of the review comments. Attached to that is the um justification provided by the applicant and then a copy of the zoning map and then just a location map of where it is and the request to reszone. The applicant is requesting the zone change to allow a place for her daughter to live. No new structure will be built at this time. Traffic and general economic character of the area should not be affected. Planning staff has no objections to the resoning. The property is located in an area surrounded by residential and commercial zoned areas. Looking at the zoning map, it makes sense that these lots change to residential. The reasonzoning should not adversely affect the area. The applicant is here if you have any questions for her. All righty. Uh this is the first of a couple public hearings tonight. So, uh I'm going to read this once so we don't have to go over it time and again. So, please keep these rules in mind. Planning Commission values your input. would like to hear from the audience during the public hearings. Anybody wishing to speak must first be recognized by the chair. Once recognized, please keep you uh please approach the podium. State your name and address and please keep your comments as brief as possible. Repetitive and excessively long testimony may be ended at the discretion of the chair. And with that, the public hearing is now open. Anybody like to come up and talk about this one? Not all at once.

Going once, going twice. Make a motion we close public hearing. Second. Motion by Bane, seconded by Davies to close this public hearing. Any discussion on that motion? Not Michelle, please. And the public hearing is now closed. We're going to talk about this up here now. Any questions, comments, concerns? Were there any objections in the notifications that were sent? Nope. Just an inquiry about what was going on there, what they were doing. That was it. Okay. No objection. Was this changed to B2 from residential prior by somebody requesting it? Um, I cannot tell you that because it was done years and years and years ago. So, I'm assuming at one time it was residential, but I would have had to have went back. I've been here 25 years and it's been commercial the whole time. So, um it was just strange to me that the B2 went around the corner like that. Yeah, it's very that area is very um peacemeal. Yeah, it is. I understand that. But this is on the back half on ninth. So, mixed use. Mixed use. There you go. Technical term. Nicely done. Well, I move to make a recommendation to approve file number Z25-04 to reszone certain land from a B2 highway commercial district to an R3 dwelling district located at 301 West 9th Street. Second motion by Van Velson and seconded by Jet to recommend the resoning. Any more discussion on this matter? Michelle, please.

Nothing's ever easy. And with that, the recommendation is made to approve the file. And this will now go to city council. Yes. Yes. City council on May 6th at 5:30. Okay. All right. Items number four and five and six are all related. Items number four and five are both public hearings and the chair is going to open both public hearings simultaneously. So I'm going to read both items into the record at this point. Item number four is file number AM25- Z003. discussion. Consider action on application by Praria Ventures Northplat LLC for an amendment to the North Plat comprehensive plan 2011 future land use map to amend certain lands from agricultural vacant to residential medium density single duplex and multif family and from agricultural vacant to industrial on property located at 2401 East Philip Avenue and described as attractive land in the south half northwest quarter section 2 township 13 north range 30 west of the six prime meridian, North Plut, Lincoln County, Nebraska. Then item number five is file number Z25- Z005. discuss and consider action on an application by Praria Ventures Northplat LLC to reszone certain land from an R3 dwelling district and I1 light industrial district to an RM mobile home park district and an I1 light industrial district on property described as a tract of land in the south half northwest quarter section 2 township 13 north range 30 west of the six prime meridian north plat Lincoln County Nebraska Judy Okay. So, you should have all received a copy of the review comments for the amendment and in order to reszone a property. It's the duty of the planning commission to ensure the resoning is in

conformance with the current comprehensive plan. The request for the amendment has been submitted in conjunction with the resoning. The applicants are requesting the amendment to allow the change in zoning. Um, if you look at the attached map, some of you probably were here at the time back in 2021. Um, we amended this to multifamily and industrial. Um, the multifamily is kind of in a red hash there on that map. That is already existing as multifamily. And then um what they're wanting to do, what we did last time was we had multif family and industrial along um Phillip. And what they're looking at now is to amend the rest of that along Phillip to multifamily so we can allow this mobile home park and then the park off part off to the east portion um and some abuing Phillip to be I1 so they can allow for possible commercial development in the future. Um on the second item which is the reszoning if the amendment is approved um again the applicant is requesting the zone change to allow for the development of a mobile home park and possible future storage units. The additional space um some additional space for possible commercial development. New structures will be built and a new mobile homes will be brought in to provide additional housing options for the community. Traffic will increase due to the number of proposed mobile homes. There would be approximately 290. However, being located on East Phillip, it should not cause a detriment to the area. Planning staff has no objections to the reasonzoning. If the amendment has been approved, the property is located in an area surrounded by residential and commercial uses. The number of proposed mobile homes will show an increase in traffic in the area. However, East Phillip is a hightraic street that has the capacity for

additional traffic and also both Vicsentennial and East Phillip are planned to be improved in the near future which will include additional width. We're requesting some additional width through the subdivision that will be in item six. Um that's what I have. the applicant is here in the audience if you have any questions on the resoning or amendment and I'll be glad to help too. Okay, just so we're all clear, item number four must pass before we can take up item five. If item four fails, f five and six really are more or less dead. Okay, everybody on the same page? Okay, this is a public hearing. Uh again, we're going to talk about both items number four and item number five. Uh again, same rules apply. And with that, the public hearing is open. Who wants to go first? Um thank you. U Roger Bowlington, chief development. Um, Chief is the wholly owned wholly owns the uh, Praria Ventures North Plaid LLC, which is really just the investment and real estate arm of Chief Industries. Address, please, Roger. I'm sorry. Okay. 3935 Westgate Road, Grand Island, Nebraska 68803. Thank you. Go ahead. And so, um, we we we became kind of interested in this project. it was really um brought up by some of the community leaders that said, "Hey, if you guys are looking at doing housing, would you consider this?" And so um we were able to locate some land and on um East

Phillip uh and uh we did get control of that. Uh we purchased it about March 1st of of this year. And um Chief has multiple divisions. One's our development arm, but another one is called Bonavilla Homes, which is out out of Aurora, and they make modular homes. And typically, it's, you know, the double and triple wides and that, but uh and talking to some of the community leaders and said, would you consider doing a mobile home park? and chief has not done one uh before, but to help out obviously the the housing um um crisis uh we thought, okay, let's let let's do it. that'll be at the um lower end high priced homes um for the community and then they'll segue into some of our other projects that we'll be announcing or coming forward here in the next couple of months and which will be additional housing at at some of the other locations that we've been purchasing. And so this one here we're hoping to get started just as soon as possible. Like I said, we're under control of the land. Um, we've got the financial backing to do it. We're still going through all the budgeting now, trying to find out how much these roads are going to be and the utilities, the electrical, the uh um sanitary sewer, the storm water. Um and one thing about when we were trying to do this is obviously create a um a you know Newberry village is what we came out come up with a village but still kind of put it so that it's easy to maintain and it's very aesthetic and so we instead of asphalt roads or anything like that be

all concrete roads. it'll off the roads. There'll be individual parking spots for each one of the um um mobile homes. And then um we just um also came to agreement to purchase some more land along Newberry. Um there's I think that's on one of the lots that you'll see that we have purchased um we got an agreement with the um twin plant NRD and that's to give us more green space maybe move around some of our detention cells you know and figure out you know we're going to put a dog park. The other thing we're going to have in this is a storm shelter. Um so that um obviously if there's any storm issues that the citizens um can um go to there for safety purposes. And with that we've got a couple trails that go to make it easier and faster to get to that storm shelter. All this stuff still is still just kind of being designed. We don't have the marketing stuff put together for what size of homes, what the pricing is or anything like that until we can get all of our costs pulled together. But um like we did say, we do do sign the contract with the engineering firm um to go ahead with the full um design engineering design and we did get get control of all the land. We just have the verbal agreement with the um TPNRD. So, we don't have that yet, but if that unravels and we'll circle back. We originally didn't think about having that piece of property in in it, but it just kind of made sense. It was going to sit idle. There was no access to it. There's no access off of Newberry, so we kind of rolled it into our development. Roger. Go ahead. Yep. Any questions at this point? perk. What uh is there any limitation on the age of the mobile home

units that you're going to allow in the park? These will only be new ones. Okay. They'll and they'll have to be purchased from us through the our Bonavville home ones. So, okay. If you don't purchase one, then you you won't be able to locate there. Okay. Yeah. And is that out of the flood plane? I can't remember. is that um there's some sections in it that's in the 100redyear um that we'll have to build up or put it into detention or something like that. So you do a lma on it then if you build it up. Pardon? You'll do a lma letter map revision if you build it up. Uh boy that's Judy. Yes, probably if they need to. Um most of the flood plane is located in the north um east corner and that right now is what they have um indicated as like their storm drainage area green space detention. Um that could change but as of right now the majority of it will be in there which wouldn't cause any problems. So um the plan is to have the residents buy their own mobile home. Are they going to own the lot? No. that'll be all owned. It's it's platted all under one lot. So then um they what they'll have to do is pay pay rent on that lot and get it hooked up to the um city utilities and um then we'll have um the metering on the individual lot that they'll be responsible for. But um the overall um maintenance of all the common area and that stuff will be the responsibility of the owners. Yeah. Are you running gas through there? natural gas. I I I would assume so, but I'm not sure. We haven't even got to that level yet. Met with any of the gas companies or or seen exactly how that is or if those are going to be electric. Your your new mobile homes, do they have gas furnaces or electric furnaces? I

couldn't even tell you yet. Uh yeah, that they I got on this project about about three weeks ago. So I'm kind of kind of bringing getting up to it and they said, "Okay, you know, you you need to get rolling on it." So all depends on this meeting. You better go. Yeah. Yeah. So uh yeah. So I'm still getting up to speed with it. Um uh so what from what I seen, you know, there'll be typical HUD HUD type um mobile homes and we've got some examples out on our website where they've done some of this in other communities and it, you know, with the right owner doing these uh parks that they really uh look a lot better than the old um you know, ones that you might seen from years ago. And Yeah, you know, age has a lot to do with that stuff and then keeping it up on the on the maintenance, you know, would would be uh um obviously a priority. Is there do you have a financing arm or way to get these financed because they're sometimes difficult? Um, I know our our CFO and our CEO have talked to a couple of banks about possibly partnering with them to be able to make that easier for the uh ones that purchase the homes to do that. Okay. Because there's there's a lot of banks that won't do touch them. Correct. Yeah. That does have a difficult makes it difficult for the bottom. Yes. Yeah. Um, will you be placing them on the lot and then they're available for purchase or will people purchase it and then they'll be placed on the lot? We'll probably place several of them out there kind of like a model home or or whatever so that people can see it and and then um you know then they'd have to buy one and then place them in you know at the location where they they'd want it and

then start moving from there one different phasing. Right. And kind of to piggy back a little bit on Curts, um will the like the wheels be removed so it's attached to the or will they be they'll they usually what we're looking at doing is doing um like it's an augur cast um pile deal that um then you attach that to the under under framing. Sure. you know, so that it gets more stability from from wind. Okay. And so you can either leave the wheels on or off and then there will be some type of skirting um covenant that would be required. Okay. I I guess kind of going back to the lending part, will the title be purged eventually from them or will they stay titled? They'll be they'll be renting the lot so they won't purge the title. They will stay individually titled. say that. Yeah. Yeah. Um Okay. So, when you were talking with Glenn, did you say that maintenance would be um your company's role or would it be the individual owners? No, it'd be it'd be on our our role for the the maintenance of the common areas, you know, for like um um the um snow removal, things like that would be all underneath our uh purview, but they would have like a yard maybe that they would have to maintain or would you also there there's there's different ways that we're looking at doing it. Some of it's with turf, some of it's with uh partial deals and then uh other green spaces, but we're we're still kind of noodling on how we're going to lay all that out so that it is lowmaintenance. Yeah. But yet aesthetic so that um you know things don't get jumped up. Well,

right. I think there's some appeal to people being able to take care of their own space and have their own yard, but at the same time, yeah, how do you keep that up? Um are you working with a landscape architect? Not not yet. Not yet. Okay. Correct. So with the engineering firm might come that corre correct that once we get it uh uh deeper into the design then we'll look at signage. We'll look at you know what's going to be green space and and that. Hope hopefully that any type of landscaping will be hopefully no lowmaintenance you know so that it doesn't kill us. But one of the things about this is what's the line of economics versus you know aesthetics and so we can't get too crazy or it won't be feasible from economic standpoint. So that's what we're trying to um you know kind of go down and see what we can get away with. Yeah. As far as but yet still make it it economically feasible for someone to buy a home and and and rent the lot. What's the approximate price range of the homes? I mean is there any Yeah, I couldn't tell you yet. Okay. U from that. But, you know, obviously it's going to have to be economical u you know, for this. But the the good thing about it is we'll be able to place anywhere from 8 to 10 homes a month once it you know gets up and going. So, it it could go you know fairly fast. Um if the market demands there is the plan of all singles single wides just single wides. Just single wides. There's not going to be an option for a double. No. Um not at this time. Yeah. Trying to get more density in in there. At one time we were going to put the doubles along um East Phillips and Bsentennial, but

then you know it it the proforming didn't work as good. How many bedrooms then are in the single wides? The ones that I've seen so far, you can get up to three. Okay. Typically they're threebedroom, two bath. Yeah. The new ones, threebedroom, two bath. The two bath even. Wow. Yeah. These these will be 1,00 to,100 square feet. Okay. So, over time, as this thing builds up, like some of the other parks in town, as people start selling them again, will they be able to like somebody buy it and move it out or is are they all going to stay here? No. Since it they'll it'll be their personal property, so they'll be able to move it out. They could sell it to somebody that wants to move it out and put it in another Yeah. But then if whatever place is gone in there will have to be a new product from us. Okay. It couldn't be somebody that So all the streets within the area are all private streets then I'm assuming it's one lot. Private streets and then public utilities, right? So how's that work as far as the design on a private street? Does do they have to meet some kind of regulation as far as the widths and stuff like that? So we have a design criteria for mobile home parks that we just created probably about five years ago if you guys remember going through that. Um one of the criteria which they definitely meet with what they've presented is um it says each lot has to have access to a hard surface drive of not less than 22 feet and these what they're presenting is 40 foot. So it more than adequately meets Yeah. Yeah, I think there was a for a 40ft easement through there and I think the roads that we're looking at is 30 ft wide, 26 to 30 feet wide. Then then the the parking off of that um going going perpendicular to the roadway. So they won't be the skinny ones.

These have will the streets have curb and gutter then? We don't at this time. Sidewalks? Not at this time. We figure if you build the roads wide enough and and but we're still kind of going through the design deal on what we can um economically, you know, put together and yet still get it on the space um plan. You did I hear you say that you're talking about storage units? We're thinking about that. Yes. I didn't see these are all very similar size lots unless it's the far east side. Yeah. It'd be on the east side in the in the um industrial area of it. Um which is that lot three. Yeah. And so it and the reason why we do that is is you know there's not a lot of yard there's not garages and that is for the the the tenants there to get them onsite storage convenience. Oh yeah. Everybody needs stuff. Yeah. And then um on the other lot, that 2.9 acre ones, we're hoping to try and attract a like a convenience store or some other type of amenity that would be synergistic to the to the neighborhood. Is lock one in the middle sort of is that green space or what? Um is that the storm shelter? That's storm shelter. Oh, that's okay. That's the retention. Okay, got it. Yeah, just a storm shelter, community building. Storm shelter. We're we're still looking at at whether or not we can use that as a big meeting space or correct community somewhere in the plan of discussion anyway. Yeah, we're just discussing that now. So, you know, those storm shelters will need to have,

you know, plenty of of of the restrooms and then wide open space to um congregate in case of a weather event. Any fencing around it, do you envision or I mean still planning and Yeah, still planning that. Yeah. Give you the out there. Yeah. Yeah. They do have so around the perimeter of the mobile home park they do have a requirement to either fence or provide a 25- foot setback. So at least on the exterior you're going to see either a fence or a 25- foot green space setback. Okay. So along say Phillip. Yes. Then there will be 25 ft until the fence. For a fence. Yeah. As well as by centennial. a weight web as well as bsentennial. Yeah. Right. And I and that's I'm a tree person. So I don't know if that means in your book low maintenance, but I mean I would definitely love to see trees along Philip there as well as bysentennial and throughout the you know the the whole village I guess. Um do I mean to me that makes a better neighborhood is to have that. Do you envision, you know, possibly quite a bit of that of the trees and stuff? And I think if you're working with a landscape architect, they'll take care of some of that planning. The other thing is, um, with you having, um, you know, three-bedroom, two bath, I'm assuming you'll have quite a few kids living in the neighborhood. Um, the city of Northplat has the goal of having a park like within a 10-minute walk um, of wherever you live. And in fact, the city of Carney is really pushing for like kids not having to cross any busier streets to get to a green space or park. Um, is that something you would possibly consider? Put you on the spot here. Um, as just a

small area for kids to congregate. That that's something that we could look at a little pocket one, but um, you know, trying to see if we're going to get that other land, what's going to be the best uh, usage for that. make it convenient. Yeah. You know, so yeah, it would be good to try and house them, you know, on the campus. Yeah. Those type of amenities. Well, and again, like I mean, the idea of being able to walk to a convenience store is awesome. And I think then that walkability to, you know, place to gather and be together, you know, out outside would be awesome, too. So, anyway, I know you're wanting to build a great neighborhood. So, anyway, that's Yeah, that's the plan. And so hopefully we can do it economically and you know and the public but you know so we can you know get this absorbed fairly quick. Yeah. So it's just not all maintenance and that space set aside for the storm shelter quite a large space. Well that's why how many do you have to have? I mean do you have to have much room in a storm shelter do you have to do? That's 290 people. Yeah, 290 units, three minimum three people to a family. I don't know. We just uh started the architectural design on the uh storm shelter, so that we haven't got that designed out yet. Yeah, I don't know that you could build one that would take 900 possible people, but I 290 seems like a lot a lot to cram in there, but big space. I mean, and I'm just talking about in the I know it is, but yeah, it's like 43 acres, you know. So then plus the other it just looks overwhelming looking at it, but we thought the same thing in our office. We were trying to get

um How do you how do you make try and make sure that the place looks as good as possible 15 years into it? You know, the main thing 15 years, 20 years, 30 years into it as it as it does the day it opens. It's trying to it's trying to be visionary and have enough for um foresight to be able to see that whatever landscaping, what everything we can do is economical to do because if it gets too expensive, then the first thing that people do is is is ignore it and don't do it, you know. So, that's something that um we're going to be looking at um is try and make it so that it it does look nice, but then it it doesn't, you know, erode all the costs from all the rent just taking care of green space, you know. So when when it does come to the mobile homes, remember we do have mobile home standards also. So 15 to 20 years if the mobile home is starting to dilapitate or whatever. And I'm sure they'll take care of it before that. But if not, the city does have regulations as far as making sure the mobile homes in decent condition. We we'll look at the covenants, too. Yeah. That that to make sure that they're keeping up with their properties or somehow put some like CCRs um codes, covenants, and restrictions to try and keep those homeowners from having dilapidated stuff. So, I don't know what those look like in there, but um since we want everybody to know when they go in there, what's the expectations? So the game plan would be to set higher expectations and then try and govern toward it. So but to understand you correctly that the only way something gets into this park as if it comes from you guys. Correct. So even 5 years from now somebody pulls one out, the only way you can put one back in there is if you buy a new one and put it back. That's my

understanding is right now. Okay. Because the only thing we can make this work financially is the vertical integration is of building the homes, right? and and um running and maintaining the park because we'll have an operator of the park um that we're talking to that will that'll manage the park for us. And I'm assuming then part of your covenants are going to be that they must be owner occupied. Someone can't purchase and we haven't got that that deep yet as far as being able to uh to to lease one out. Okay? because I think that's one of the keys is if they become investment property then, you know, it it likely could end up, you know, having other issues just because you're going to have, you know, non-present owners, you know, not maintaining it. the the part in my experience the the parks in town that are owner, you know, where you have to own and get approved uh before you can even purchase um a mobile home seem to be fairly wellmaintained. It's the ones where unfortunately, you know, if they're just investment are the ones that have a tendency to be less maintained, if you will. Yeah, that that's a good question. That's something I can talk with the owners of of Chiefs to see if they'd consider putting that in the the covenants. I think that would be a good idea. Couple follow-ups. Do do you anticipate any sort of tiff request coming forward to help with some of the infrastructure? We do. Yeah. But, you know, like this since the it's personal property on the homes, it's not going to create a lot of um for us the um increment because but we'll have between the storm shelter and if there's any storage we build and then the the roads and the infrastructure that'll be, you know, um fairly expensive, but it's

still not going to create a whole lot of increment. But what we do expect to um once we get our cost together is come in and and do a tiff ask. Well, it it's not in our code, but part of safe, conducive neighborhoods is making sure that kids have a way to easily move around the neighborhood. So, I would encourage you to at least float the idea of sidewalks through these things so kids can travel safely. That just that's a personal preference. It's not in here. Take that for what it's worth. So, we'll do. Yeah. If and if it's financially feasible, I we'll try and work it in. Yeah. Perfect. You mentioned turf. Did you mean artificial? I've seen some of them in different loes that have done partial partial um uh for it. So that once once we once we get it laid out and see what part is green space or what part would be for the um you know the turf for the owners and um and and at least on you know if it be on site of it or you know around around the walkups to the so who would be responsible for mowing if it's right now for I believe that is going to be responsible for mowing is going to be on the the landlord. Um on the landlord. Yeah. Yeah. So now un unless we you know cuz there's no storage in there. So a lot of people can't have where are they going to put their lawnmowers? Where are they going to put all this stuff? So, um, that's the things that we're going in there. It's how how can we make it convenient, roll it into the rental place of the lot and, um, you know, for upkeep, you know, and I guess from the standpoint of if it's if it's grass that it's got to be watered, correct? And people that are renters don't maybe do as well on watering in July when it's 110. Yeah.

And that's probably in some areas where you'll see um more highly likelihood of tip turf on some of the stuff around around some of it. And then um for the ease of maintenance and just the fact that you know you don't have the storage for all the grass equipment and and that sort and so excuse me I'm I'm assuming that the um waste collection will be from the city. I believe garbage will garbage truck run up and down the street and pick up the garbage. That means that the dumpster the garbage dumpster will be out at the end of your driveway. Um yeah, for for them to to place that out there. Yeah. So ask your landscape designer and and and everybody about it. Is there a way to uh uniformly create a an appropriate safe place that they is easy to clean where those go? uh an extra little concrete pad for the for the receptacles to sit on. Uh otherwise, you know, because if you have turf, maybe that wouldn't be as big a deal. But you're going to have one one car can drive in and then where when they're in, where does the garbage can sit? Okay. And if uh Johnny has a car and his wife has a car for all the kids and they're parking on your turf and the garbage cans get, you know, it's there's lots of things that can be built in because the space is so small, the width is so narrow. So my other worry about the garbage cans and my second suggestion is consider I know it cuts into profit profitability but consider giving a little more space to each one uh and and cut it down from 290 to 250 240 to widen

the space out give everybody a little bit better chance of not being on top of each other. Um, I know that that might mean that then there might be room for a sidewalk, then there might be room for people to, you know, get into their place and be to themselves. Otherwise, um, if you you put too many monkeys in a cage, you're going to end up with fighting. So, social engineering would say give them more space and so consider cutting down the number of them and maybe that means you have to increase a little bit on the the ones that are there. Yeah. All right. Yeah, we'll take a look at that on the lot rent, but wider garbage cans. All right. Any other 40 foot's actually a pretty big It's pretty big spot. It's 40 by 110 are these lots and that's not Yeah, pretty good. Pretty good size. Um just out and about in the community, there's a lot of the older neighborhoods that are only 44 foot wide, right? So, for a single family home, 40 is not terrible. Yeah. With the 110T depth, you still have yard area. Yep. inadequacy over sight. But if you have a driveway where there's one car off off off off street, I think we can try and manage that that it's got to be on a hard surface on any parking. Mhm. There'll be extra parking up around the um um storm shelter. Yeah. You know, so if there's any overflow Yeah. not 100% ideal, but that's maybe where they're going to have to park. I I understood that your concrete street would be here and then there'd be one paved spot for one car on each lot. Uh there'll be two per lot. Yeah, they plan 40. Yeah. Okay. And how much room is there if there's two car spots in a 40 foot width? 16. Um we're we're staggering it so that there'll be four parking spots. Two for this deal and then two for that. So then it um So it's staggered. They stagger off just Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. I see that in

the kind of I can make that out in the draw in the drawing there. But that that maybe my sense of scale is off because this is so small and it does look like a lot on that for an 8 and 1 half by 11 sheet of paper. Yeah, a single wide is like 15 16 foot wide. So if you have a 40 foot per lot that that is pretty pretty good. But we'll we'll take a look at it. I mean, this is kind of and since we're planning it all as one one lot, we can maneuver that. The engineer will have input. Yeah. Well, and I was going to add it would be nice to have a drawing of like what one lock lot may look like. You know, placement of the mobile home, where the uh parking spaces would be, you know what I mean? Just to give a visual because I think that's where I'm struggling is this is so small. Yeah. It's hard to tough to get the scale of it and it is right now. I mean, I know we're kind of getting into the weeds with everything. This is just a resoning and a subdivision. So, we do have to remember that they still have a lot of design to go through that'll have to get through the city. And I would love to have one of those, too. And if they get me one before they get their design finished, I'll bring it and make sure you guys can see what it looks like because I'm very visual also. So, I would like to see that, too. What they're what they're envisioning as far as that goes. This is also our time to ask and see. I'm not demanding. I'm saying please consider that. Take that with you back to the guys that you're talking to. And we do have um you guys put together some pretty good guidelines for mobile home parks and this will be the first one that's kind of tested um since we put those mobile home park regulations into place. So um hopefully we did a good job with that and they'll do a good job with their portion and I will do my best to try and let you guys see it before Thank you. Yeah, just so you can see

what it looks like. Any other questions? We've peppered Roger pretty. Uh just in closing, um we we've probably needed this sort of development for a long time here. So, thank you for going through this. Thank you for ting all the questions and appreciate your time. Well, thanks. Like I said, we haven't done one of these things before. So, we're willing to learn and take some of that uh recommendations back and and see because we we definitely want to have a successful park and don't want to burge, you know, our reputation on doing this stuff. So, we're going to try and do a high quality one at for for this market sector, you know, in housing, which, you know, seems to be needed everywhere. Very good. Thank you, sir. Appreciate your time. Okie do. Any other testimony on the public hearing? Just quickly, just so we go on the record. Yep. Uh Gary Pearson, president, North Plat Area Chamber Development Corporation, 502 South Dwey. Um obviously we've been one of the entities been visiting with uh Roger and Chief uh for a long time about uh this type of development. Uh if you look at the um housing study that's coming forward right now, uh you see a lot of the target market for the workforce, you know, we're missing uh that element into the community. And for all the reasons everybody expressed tonight, you know, how difficult it is to develop a mobile home park. It's probably why we haven't seen one in North Plat for decades. and uh to be so fortunate to have a developer like Chief Industries, Pretia Ventures, Bonavilla, uh to be willing to step forward and do this. You know, they're they're doing developments all over the region and this probably wouldn't be something, you know, on their radar screen had it not been for the community kind of reaching out to them knowing what uh first class developments they do. We as a chamber

development have partnered with them on a big commercial development at Twin Rivers Business Park and now we're doing the same with Mulligan Meadows with the Bonavville Homes that are being constructed and imp put in place up there. Just quality quality development company, quality people to deal with and their products are just top-notch. So, um we obviously 100% support it and just want to make sure go on record saying that. Okay, any questions for Gary? Any other people wish to testify on this matter here tonight? Gone once, gone twice. Make a motion we close the public hearing. Second. Kurt, was that you? Yes. Thank you. Uh motion by Bane, second by Mchuan to close the public hearing. Any discussion on that motion? Not shall okie dokie public hearing now closed. We will reserve the right to recall if there's any additional uh questions one of the one of the folks up from the audience. But at this time we'll discuss this amongst ourselves. So back to item number four which is the uh changes to the future land use map. reminder that we need to pass this first uh if we are to take up items number five or six. Correct. Correct. Correct. Any discussion on this? I move to make a recommendation to approve file number AM25-3, an amendment to the North Plat Comprehensive Plan 2011 future land use map to amend certain lands from agricultural vacant to residential

medium density single duplex and multif family and from agricultural vacant to industrial on property located at 401 East Phip Avenue. Second. Motion by Van Velson, seconded by Jet to recommend approval of this file. Any more discussion? No. Michelle and the recommendation motion to pass the recommendation is approved. This will go to the city council meeting on May 6th. Okay. Okay. So then on to item number five, which I previously read in this is the reasonzoning that goes along with the change to the future land use map. Anything to add on this, Judy? I don't think so. I apologize for my drawing. I couldn't get my computer to work, so I had to hand draw it. Um the black would be RM basically goes from bicesentennial to um East Phillip and then the red would be the I1 which is the property that's north of um Twin River or uh Twin Plat NRD and then that one strip along the um east side of the proposed mobile home park. I do have one question. So where twin the twin plat that's all one parcel right now? Is that going to be parcled off in a future? That's in item number six. Got it. Yep. The subdivision. Yep. I didn't realize that was Okay. We get three of these tonight. Any more questions on this one? I move to make a recommendation to approve file number Z25-00005 to reszone certain land from

an R3 dwelling district in an I1 light industrial district to an RM mobile home park district and an I1 light industrial district on property located at 2401 East Phip Avenue. Second motion by Jet, seconded by Mchuan to approve. I recommend approval of this file. Any more discussion on the matter, see if we can get her to work. And that is approved. This again will go to the city council meeting on May 6th. Okay, one more to deal with on this one. File number SU25- Z006 discussion consider action on application by Praria Ventures North Plat LLC in Twin Plat Natural Resources District for a preliminary and final approval of the of Newberry Village subdivision on property located at 2401 East Philip Avenue and described as a tract of land in a south half northwest quarter section 2 township 13 north range 30 west of the six prime meridian north plat Lincoln County Nebraska Judy. Okay, so you should have all received a copy of the review comments. Attached to that is a preliminary layout and then the final almost the final page is the um actual final subdivision. Um the subdivision will reconfigure two parcels into four separate lots. Public utilities are available to be extended to the lots at the developer's expense. Planning staff has no objection to the proposed subdivision. the property is located where both residential and commercial development already exists in the area. The subdivision and proposed development will provide another housing development and will be an asset to the community. The easiest way to see um what you are approving as the final plat is on that second to the last page. Um you can see

lot one which consists of essentially um all the easements for the roads that are going in there. Um the part that's set aside right now for the drainage area which is kind of in the northeast corner. And then you'll see lot two, which is right beside the existing Twin Plat NRD building. Um, lot three would be the north portion of the existing Twin Plat NRD property. So that will be the split that Kathleen was talking about. And then lot four would be the um building of Twin Plat NRD. You have any questions with that? I would be happy to help. Judy, on that new building that uh Twin Plat is building. Yes. Is there a setback between the west side of that building and that lot line? Yes, that setback is in the correct location. I believe there's a 7 foot setback. Okay. Cuz it looks like it is very close right up on it. Right on it. It is very eyeball on it. It's not right. No, that's not I I can't identify the required side. Um I off the top of my head it's an industrial. I think the side is seven. I would have to look for sure, but the building inspectors were out there to make sure that this lot line would be in the correct location. That's a good one. Yep. We're not going to cut through the building. I promise. This is not a public hearing. Any more discussion on this matter? So, um, the developer owns one, two, and three of as as platted here. The developer currently owns, um, yes, one, two, and I think they did. Do you purchase the north portion of that lot yet? They've got a purchase agreement. Okay. Um, but Twin Plat NRD is on the

plat as a signature. So, as a property owner. Yeah. So even if something occurs and that falls through, then they will still own that other parcel. Anything else? That's usually my line. I move to make a recommendation to approve Move to make a recommendation to approve file number SU25-00006 preliminary and final approval of Newberry Village subdivision. Second. Motion by Bane, seconded by Matthews to make a recommendation to approve the file. Any more discussion on this one? Not, please. Thank you. And we recommend approval to the city council and they'll take that up on May 6th. Also, May 6th. Again, thank you, Roger. Appreciate you coming. And Roger's busy. Thank you. Appreciate everything. Uh item number seven. Any old business to discuss? I don't have any old business. Any new business? Nothing I can think of. Then we are journed.
