Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

S'il vous plaît. Comme je n'ai demandé à personne d'autre, je ne vais pas vous mettre mal à l'aise. Je vais donc faire la prière. Si vous voulez bien vous incliner. Cher Seigneur, merci infiniment pour toutes les bénédictions que vous nous avez accordées personnellement et à cette ville. Seigneur, veillez sur nous ce soir. Aidez-nous à prendre de bonnes décisions pour la ville et ses habitants. Laissez-nous travailler en harmonie ce soir pour nous assurer que les choses soient faites et bien faites. Seigneur, bénissez-nous, veillez sur nous et protégez-nous tous. C'est en ton nom, Jésus, que nous prions. Le point suivant est l'appel nominal.

7 present, 2 absent.

Thank you. We have the quorum. Very well, the next point concerns the comments of the public. No one has signed up to make comments tonight. Is there anyone here who wanted to do it and who forgot? Very well, thank you. We will move on. Then, acceptance of the order of the day. Everyone had time to read it. Does anyone have an objection concerning the simplified order of the day? There is only one point. Do I have a proposal? Do I have a support? A proposal of Slattery. And a support of Wessel. Thank you. Is everything going well over there, Sloane? Very well. The next point concerns the verbal trial. Everyone had time to read the verbal trial of the last meeting. Do I have a proposal to accept it?

I propose.

A proposal from Slattery. Do I have a support? I have a support. It was you, Charles. Thank you, Charles. We can vote with our hands up as well. than those who are available. Someone is counting. Very good, it's accepted. Let's move on. The first point this evening is, in the order of the day, simplified. The plan of the Firebird site, phase 2 of the Alexander commercial project, owner of the Firebird's Wood Fire Grill located at 267 East Main Street, section 159J 016.0. The main planning team is made up of Kaitlyn Shen and Timothy Wheaton. They have approved everything. But so that we can get to know it, can you give us a brief summary?

Yes, sir. Firebirds offers a 500-square-meter restaurant on the vacant ground, central to the Alexander commercial parking lot. The Starbucks is on the ground to the east and the fast-packing rapid care center to the west. La zone est classée développement commercial général et s'étend sur 1,92 acres. 54 places de stationnement sont requises et ils en proposent 88. Une zone tampon paysagère de 20 pieds sera prévue à l'arrière. Le bâtiment proposé sera principalement en briques avec des panneaux métalliques architecturaux de haute qualité au-dessus des portes d'entrée principales. C'est tout pour moi.

Merci beaucoup.

Désolé pour ça. Merci beaucoup. Ai-je une motion pour l'acceptation ?

Je propose. Êtes-vous tous là ?

Y a-t-il quelqu'un de Firebirds ici ?

Non, je parlais juste de la planification.

Oh, d'accord. Souhaitez-vous vous avancer pour dire quelque chose ? Cela me semble très clair, mais si vous souhaitez vous lever et dire quelque chose, juste pour le procès verbal, vous êtes les bienvenus.

Nous sommes une équipe.

And I don't know if our powerpoint is displayed so that people can see the building. But I wanted to congratulate you, Firebirds. They worked with us on their elevations and we had a few, if we can go back to a slide. And we had different suggestions of changes that we wanted to see and they did everything we asked. We really appreciate that and their willingness to work with the staff to get the aspect of the building that has it. It's mainly brick and it's going to be a very interesting building. The scale is integrated with everything that is around Chick-fil-A, Tumannik, Starbucks, the scale of all these developments over there that work together architecturally. And that will, in a way, finalize the whole. But the staff really appreciates your collaboration on this subject. Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you very much. It looks good. So, do I have a motion of this committee Did you make a motion? Okay. I have a slattery motion, I have a Charles press, and we're going to do it by electronic voice. It's okay for you, Sloth. Oh, I pressed the button. That's it. Sorry for that, Sloane.

The motion is adopted with 7 votes for. Thank you.

Okay, the next point concerns the mass plans. We have the derogation to the mass plan of building A of Imperial Point. The owner is Imperial Investment Group, located at 111 Imperial Boulevard, floor 163, CF 002.02.02.0. L'équipe d'urbanisme, Caitlin et Timothy. Et il s'agit d'une demande de dérogation. Nous allons donc écouter Caine.

Oui, monsieur. Le bâtiment A d'Imperial Point Boulevard a été approuvé lors de la commission d'urbanisme du mois dernier. During this meeting, the staff explained that the applicant had agreed to remove the metal from the back wall to be used as a material according to the commercial design of the city. The applicant is now requesting a derogation to authorize the metal on this back wall. The wall faces a support wall whose height varies from 12 to 15 feet. La ligne verte indique l'emplacement du mur de soutènement. La partie supérieure du mur de 20 pieds serait visible depuis la parcelle adjacente au nord. Cette parcelle appartient à la résidence pour Senior Park Place et sa partie non aménagée sert d'espace ouvert qui ne sera pas construit. C'est tout ce que j'ai à dire?

D'accord. Are there any questions or comments from the Urbanism Commission? Does anyone want to hear the promoter? I have a question. Is the site in question located under the wall or above the wall?

This is the white part displayed on the screen.

Is it higher than the property located behind it or lower?

Yes, it is lower, because only a small part will be...

I just wanted to confirm. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Commission d'Urbanisme, did anyone else have any questions? Yes, I just wanted to say that in normal times, I'm not a big fan of metal, but here we will have brick and masonry. The building will be superb from the front and on the sides, given the rock wall from 10 to 15 feet behind. I think it's a good solution in this specific case. And from what I understood from the promoter, it will be a high quality metal that will last a long time. So it's a case where I'm ready to say yes, it's probably an appropriate use for this building. And I like the aspect of the photos with the tilting doors at the back and the colors that have been chosen.

Thank you very much. Commissioner Slater.

Thank you, Mr. President. Kaitlyn, I just want to make sure I understand. The support wall varies from 12 to 15 feet high, but the wall for which the applicant requests a derogation is a 20-foot metal wall. That's right. That's right. So, 1.5 to 2.5 meters of exposed metal.

Passes an open space, not developed, which will not be furnished.

Let's say it's this green space, just behind it. totalement enclavé.

Comment il me décide?

Et bien, Katie, n'ont-ils le droit de faire quoi que ce soit à Park Place sur ce terrain vert?

Ils ne peuvent rien faire d'autre que l'utiliser comme espace ouvert.

On s'est bloqué en tant qu'espace ouvert.

On s'est bloqué en tant qu'espace ouvert.

Donc, il n'y aura aucun résident. Il n'y aura rien là-bas. Aucune autre future propriété commune.

Ils ont atteint le maximum d'espace ou le nombre d'unités autorisées sur cette parcelle. Merci.

Do other commissioners have any questions or comments? Otherwise, I propose to move on to the vote.

I make a motion to approve.

We have a motion by Barry Hardwick. Do we have a second? We have a second by M. Wester. Let's now move on to the electronic vote. I must make sure to press the button.

The motion is adopted with seven votes for.

Thank you very much, Sloane. Very good. Next point in the agenda. Site plan with derogation on materials for Lincoln Rockland. The owner, Lincoln Property Company. Parcel placement, 1,106 points. Again, you, Keitley, we exhaust you tonight. And it is also a derogation request.

Very good. This concerns the Lincoln Rockland project, located near Rockland Road. It was approved by the Urbanism Commission in May of this year. The exterior facades are provided with inclinable concrete panels to form the walls with some brick areas intended for key places. As you can see on the green screen image, these are the areas where the brick is intended. We can move on to the next one. The areas you see. in red indicates the location of the brick. The property, which is an industrial development project, now requires to replace the brick with a molded coating, which means that instead of using the real brick inserted in the inclinable panels, the panels will be stamped with a simulated brick pattern. Lincoln Properties has two other industrial sites in development in Hendersonville, which both have concrete panel buildings, inclinable, very similar to these. The project on Molly Walton Road, which is also classified as an industrial development zone, has similar areas of real bricks inserted into the walls in inclinable panels. Le projet sur Innovation Way, qui est une zone industrielle directe, utilise un motif de briques moulées plutôt que de la vraie brique, et ces briques moulées sont peintes pour s'harmoniser avec le reste du panneau en béton. Les normes de conception des bâtiments de la ville autorisent le béton préfabriqué comme matériau de construction principal dans les zones industrielles. The Molly Walton project and this proposed project are all two zones in planned industrial development while innovation is in a direct zone. In general, projects within planned developments are subject to stricter standards than in direct zones. This is why the staff asked the Molly Walton and Lincoln Rockland project to plan a brick surface, contrary to what was asked for Innovation Way. That's all I have.

Thank you, Kate. Questions from the Urbanism Commission?

Commissioner Hardwick. Once again, this is a case in which I am facing these two projects. I find that they are very beautiful buildings. I love having them in the city. I hope they will be very successful and I will support this request for derogation. Once again, because we are talking about an industrial building located in an industrial area. So I support this request and I ask my fellow commissioners to do so.

Merci Barry. D'autres commentaires de la part de la commission de bain ? Quelqu'un a-t-il des questions pour le promoteur ? Le promoteur est-il présent ?

Je pense que Charles.

Charles, en avez-vous ? Non, je voulais juste dire que c'est un domaine d'expertise. Pour M. Arbert, s'il pense que c'est acceptable, je le soutiendrai. Eh bien ?

Je pense qu'on m'a accordé un peu trop de crédit.

Très bien.

I propose that we approve the motion.

Okay, we have a proposal from Charles. Someone to support. We have the support of Commissioner Wessel. Very well, we will use the electronic keyboards for this one too.

The motion is adopted with 7 votes for.

Thank you. I appreciate it. Very well, I will quickly move on to the others. We have projects waiting for us in terms of personnel.

The CLPOW extension.

The witness house of the Forest Park farm and the TBN Millenial Cottages. Does anyone have any comments or questions to ask directly on this subject? Otherwise, we will quickly move on. Okay, Commissioner Slatry.

Just a question. Timothy is not here tonight. Regarding the TBN Millenial Cottages. Have there been any other slight changes to this plan? This plan seems to be a moving target.

No, no, there has been no change in this particular file that you see here, which is in wait at the level of the staff. It's just the plan.

So to clarify things a little bit. And there was a lot to clarify, in fact, with the plan over there. It's very interesting. But thank you.

Other commissars. Let's move on to the comments of the Director of Urbanism. What do you have for us tonight, Steve?

Thank you, Mr. President. I will be quite brief. But first, I would like to start by saying that we have carried out a thorough research to replace our post of Deputy Urbanist. And we have had an excellent selection. This is our own Sloane Moore. And I would like to congratulate Sloane for having obtained this post. We are very enthusiastic. The team is very enthusiastic, it does an excellent job. She was previously a technician in urbanism and her experience in this position over the last few years has really prepared her to succeed in this new position. It is a very important position. Everyone, you know, sees the Sloan Assistant Urbanist in the role she occupies here with the Urbanism Commission. But there are a lot of things that you don't see. This post is, in a way, the engine that receives everything and then distributes it to the staff. And that involves a lot of different questions. It is therefore a key post for all the staff of urban planning, public works and fire services. We are therefore very happy that Sloan is in charge of this post. Have you got something to say Sloan?

Merci beaucoup, Sloane. Une autre chose, très rapidement, je voulais mentionner Jason Hollers avec l'informatique. Il est là très régulièrement pour faire en sorte que le public puisse voir cela en direct. Et vous savez, beaucoup de gens regardent cela sur YouTube par la suite. Mais la qualité avec laquelle Jason fait cela depuis longtemps, nous apprécions vraiment cela. Les gens ne le voient pas à la caméra, mais c'est grâce à lui que vous voyez les choses à l'écran. Il nous est donc d'une très grande aide, ainsi qu'au personnel de l'urbanisme, pour préparer les images et toutes sortes de choses différentes. We are very grateful to you, Jason, and I am delighted that this meeting is short tonight, not only for me, but for you too. Another thing I wanted to mention is that we have a representative of the Andersonville Police Department here. And as urban planning commissioners can see, as well as Le public, à chaque réunion, nous avons quelqu'un du service de police qui veille sur nous. Cela demande du temps et du dévouement, et nous apprécions vraiment cela. Merci beaucoup d'être ici. Et cela apporte une certaine tranquillité d'esprit aux commissaires, ainsi qu'aux personnes qui assistent à nos réunions. Nous vous en sommes très reconnaissants. Merci. La dernière chose que je dirais, c'est qu'à l'heure actuelle, je vous tiendrai informé dans quelques semaines, mais pour l'instant, nous n'avons aucun point pour l'ordre du jour de la commission d'urbanisme d'octobre. Donc, si c'est bien le cas, je vous le ferai savoir officiellement dans une semaine ou deux. Mais il semble que nous n'aurons probablement pas de réunion en octobre. Quelques autres points rapides sur l'état d'avancement des dossiers. The annexation of Avalon-sur-Avent is moving forward. It will be presented to the Mayor's Council on Tuesday for approval of the service plan and the first reading of the zoning. So this is moving forward. The modifications of the zoning ordinance for which the Commission of Urbanism has made recommendations to the Bulma. It is also on the agenda of the Bulma meeting next week. And that also makes us move forward. That's all I had, Mr. President.

Merci beaucoup. Oui, vous n'êtes qu'une silhouette là-bas, Jason. C'est tout ce qu'on voit. Un petit pouce qui se lève de temps en temps. Très bien. Merci à tous. Nous apprécions votre présence ici. Y a-t-il une motion pour lever la séance ? J'ai une motion de slattery. Quelqu'un pour appuyer cette motion ? Appuyé par Charles. Et maintenant, nous allons procéder à un vote à main levée. Tous ceux qui sont prêts... Des oppositions ?

Merci à tous d'être venus.
