Okay, let's just put it. File number three. File number SU25- Z008. discussion.

Consider action on application by Lucinda Hoffman for preliminary and final approval of Swanson Second Replat located at 2821 Hoover Road in an RL suburban dwelling district on property described as lot 9 Swanson's addition to Northplat Lincoln County, Nebraska. Judy, um the subdivision will split one lot into two lots in the city's extr territorial jurisdiction. Sewer is available to service the lot. Water will require a private well and there is no service available through Century Link. Um, I do show a uh preliminary and final plat for your approval. Planning staff has no objection to the proposed subdivision. The property is located in a rural subdivision. However, planning staff does not want the prop does want the property owner to understand that if a separate residence were to be proposed on the newly created lot, the lot will require infrastructure improvements to have access to water and other utilities. Um, I don't think the applicant is here, so I will be happy to try and answer questions if you have any. Where in the David budge is this at? So, you go out on It's on Rodeo Road. You go out on Rodeo Road where the road kind of curve curves up and you're headed to Hershey. It's on the north side of Rodeo Road. Um there's a fairly good size subdivision. A little tiny vicinity map. That's Rodeo Road that curving around. Yep. Slow arc. Okay. Thank you. You bet. Any other questions, comments, criticisms of the chair at this point? No criticism. I move to make a recommendation to approve file number SU25- Z008

preliminary and final approval of Swanson second replap. Second motion by J seconded by oh Davey sorry see there I deserve some criticism to make a recommendation that we approve. Any more discussion on that motion? If not, Michelle, please. That is odd. Very odd. That system's been That system's been squirly for months. Oh, I thought I pushed it. And the recommendation is made to approve. This will go to city council on June 3rd at 5:30. Okay. The first of two public hearings tonight uh is item number four, public hearing file number CU25- Z001, discussion consider action on application by Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District for conditional use permit to allow dredging operations and commercial sand processing on property located southeast of the city of Northplat in an F1 floodway district and described as part of lots four, five, and six in the east half of section 7, Township 13 North, range 29. 9 west of the six prime meridian and part of lots six and seven in the west half of section 8 township 13 north range 29 west of the six prime meridian Lincoln County Nebraska. Judy, as stated the applicant is requesting to use the area to process and prepare sediment and sand for removal from the site. Um, Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District utilizes a portion of this a portion of the sand for internal purposes and has occasionally allowed others to take or purchase the sand. Local demand and internal use is insufficient to manage continual accumulation of sediment. The operation will need a building um warehouse in the future anticipated for

26 or 27. Current traffic varies depending on CN PPP's operations from two vehicles to 20 plus per day. The new proposed traffic will be approximately 20 to 30 truckloads per day. Um CN PPP is in the process of placing crushed asphalt surfacing on the road currently used to transport sand. The surfacing on the road will decrease both noise and dust levels in the area. With new road surfacing in place, the applicants believe that increased traffic will not be detrimental to neighboring properties. The new operation will create both direct and indirect employment through suppliers, contractors, and related services. The current property use is similar to the requested new use, and CNPP has several existing buildings on site. The new proposed use will allow CN PPP to collaborate with an experienced sand processing company that will operate in accordance with best industry standards. The new operation will incorporate dust emission controls that will reduce the overall emissions of sand and gravel. Attached to the review comments is a copy of the justification provided by the applicant and then a couple um prop couple site location maps so that you know where this is located. Planning staff has no objections to the conditional use application. The property is currently used as a mineral extraction site and should have minimal impact on the area and surrounding property owners. The applicant is in the audience if you have any questions. Okie do. Uh this is a public hearing, the first of two tonight. So pay uh listen up. I'm only going to read this one time and these ru rules will apply to this public hearing and the next. Planning commission values your input and wants to hear from the audience during the public hearings. Anybody wishing to speak must first be recognized by the chair. Once recognized, please approach the podium. State your name and address. Please keep your comments as brief as possible. Repetitive and excessively

long testimony may be ended at the discretion of the chair. Everybody got it? Make sure you're talking here. Okay. All right. And with that, uh, is the Where is the applicant on this? Come on up. Name and address, sir. Good afternoon. Uh, Devin Brundage. Uh, business address is 320 Avenue D, Goththingberg, Nebraska. Thank you. Anything you'd like to say on this one? Uh, that good summary. Uh the the site and I'm sure probably many of you are aware uh has been in use. Uh we have uh dredging operations there currently have been since 1940. Uh very critical to our operations extracting the sand before the water gets into our our canal system is uh critical for our operations. And so over the years uh our ability to mitigate the the sand and make sure that it's not piling up and finding uh uses and places for us becoming increas increasingly difficult. And so we've been very pleased to have a a potential partner to help us u find a value ad and and probably bring some economic value to Northplat at the same time. So any questions for Mr. Brundage? Thank you sir. Thank you. Who's next on this one? Gary, hold on a second. I Sorry. That's all right. Hello, Gary. Hi. Uh Gary Pearson, president, North Plat Area Chamber Development Corporation, 502 South Dwey. Um the uh potential or the partner that signed an agreement uh with Central is the Grit Group. Uh we've been working with a company since uh the last couple of months. Um in addition to providing a very valuable and needed

services for central um they will also help us uh become the first uh tenant that we have at the industrial rail park and uh with the inland port authority. So they'll be marketing uh the sand to different customers uh throughout a large area uh west of us and south of us. And so um we've been through a lot of the due diligence with them. And um the company officials bring a lot of experience to the table, been in the industry for a long time. They know how to do it right and we look forward to them beingcoming a part of North Latin Lincoln County. Okay. Any questions for Mr. Pearson? Thank you, sir. Yes, sir. Come on up. I'm Rich Def. I live 3006 South Hidden Lakes Road. And uh what was your last name? I didn't catch it. I'm sorry. Which part? Your name? Rich Def. Thank you very much. F R E C. Thank you. I want to know what roads you're going to be in going in and going on in this truck traffic. Judy, can you answer that while off top? Um, might have to have the applicant come up and tell me which road it is. Um, are you going to be going down the canal road? Okay. So, it's the canal road that comes um on the maps that you have there's the canal road that comes down here up the canal and then connecting the state farm. Well, then you're not [Music] listening to the listening to this fell here. Okay. What? Any more? Any more testimony, sir? I have a question. Yeah. I want to know what road you're going down the canal road. Would you call it the canal road to State Farm and then State Farm to

You're not going down the Hidden Lakes Road or South all that? I'm being told no. at this time. Correct. That's what I'm being going down Canel Road to State Farm. Okay. Make sure you stay on it. Lot of crap coming down road. Anybody else want to testify on this one? Come on up. Sophia Klein 10003 East. Thank you. Go ahead. Um I actually just had some questions. Um so the points, that's what was in the paper that they were going to be judging at the points. Um which would be like right where our family's land is. I'm just kind of curious if they're switching directions of the river or if they will be using any of our land for this or if any of the wildlife will be disturbed on actually any of Golden's property, which would be it's no longer my grandpa's. It would be under my name now. I didn't get a letter, but my uncle Bernie did. So, I guess we're just kind of curious what that means for our land or if you'll be using any of it to access any of the points. They can't use your land. You'd have to be part of the applicant. It is on their property, CN PPP's property, which is right where the existing sand and gravel operation is currently in which we've worked with them before and they've actually ended up doing ponds and stuff for us when they've switched directions of our land. Um, would that be required again if so happens because I know when you're judging it does tend to break down BMS along the side of that and the points aren't huge if you've been out there. I mean, it's not a big land. I can't answer that question. Like, would it like eventually disintegrate some of our property by digging that or Yeah, I don't know the

answer to that question. I can ask it though. Yeah. Or what would happen if it did or if there is any compensation for that for my grandparents? Okay. Other questions? But that's No, that's pretty much our main concern. Any questions for Sophia? Thank you. Yeah. Anybody else want to testify on this one? What's your question, Mr. Dere? Come back up if you would, please, so we can hear you. Sorry, it's hard to hear in the audience from So, what sand and gravel pit are you talking about is not going to be involved, which is already out there to begin with. Which one isn't going to be involved? Yeah, you you talked about a gravel pit and whatever she did and we have one on the other side, but now they're filling it up sand and stuff right there on behind there. The one that is currently existing that is on CN PPID's property currently is exactly where this one is going to be. Is exactly where this project that's going to be where you do all the dredging at now and then you're going to use that road. Yes, it's where they're currently dredging now. And then this company will be there to help them haul the sand and gravel out. Where was that you were talking, sir? Yeah. Well, I have to ask the lady first. Well, you can do that. You know that? I'm sorry. I said, do you know that? I just want to know. This is a public hearing and so I understand conversation. I'm just talking to him, not you. Public hearings, you have to address the entire You have to address the board. You want to have a Q&A with somebody in the audience. I just want So the one that the pit you're talking

about, it's already there to begin with and that's on that Canal Road. It is existing. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Anybody else want to testify on this one? Going once, going twice. Make a motion we should come around. Excuse me. I'll just clarify that was years ago. We do have a long-standing relationship with this company and it was a while ago when they have to like if they go through certain parts they have to do wildlife area and that's what I was talking about. This wasn't recent. It was a while ago and I knew they had to mitigate. Thank you. Okay. Now then, make a motion we close public hearing. Second. Motion by Bane, seconded by Davies to close the public hearing. Any discussion on that matter? Not Michelle, please. That X again. Want to hit my but I know it. And the public hearing is now closed. Okay. We're going to talk about this up here now. Okay. Um, I do want to call back up Mr. uh Brundage if you would please, sir. Um, regarding Miss Klein's question about the you want to address that real quick? Yeah. Uh, so the operations today, we dredge the basically the river around the dam. On your uh picture, you can see the water in the river. Uh, oper our operations will not change at all. Today we dredge that that area to keep the sand out of the water. We pile it right there where the piles are today. The piles will be in the same location that they are today. Uh nothing changes. The only thing that changes is the addition of the building so that they can process

it and take it out. Today we have loaders and we do uh load it out in trucks. It's with various different uh folks at various different times. But again, it very minimal changes at all really from our aspect. Okay. This is not creating a new pit. This is not starting a new pit. This is dredging in front of the diversion out of the river from sand sediment that comes downstream. It it is it is not very glamorous. Uh we uh 20 24 hours a day uh um for a lot of the summer we we dredge this area of the of the river and pile it up. And if we don't do that, the sand gets into the into the uh uh canal and that's that's no good for us. And so uh if we uh again, we've been doing this since since 1940 in the same place, same pit and we'll do it for the next hundred years. It's not creating another pit. It's not destroying any topicals. Nope. Not changing anything. Any other questions at this point? Thank you, sir. Yeah. Thank you. Any questions for Judy? I mean to in in my layman's terms um so basically they're just going to take the same sediment that they've been taking out. It's just going to be more commercially processed and probably taken out by more trucks. That is my understanding. Yes. Thank you. So, whoever decides to do that, there's two versions of motions here. There's a motion to approve and a motion to deny. [Music] Um, you'd have to site at least, well, [Music] you don't have to add anything in the gray area if you don't want to, but you do need to read the based on the

following factual findings. Okay. I move that we find the request for a conditional use permit to allow dredging operations and commercial sand processing located in section 7-13-29 and section 8-13-29 southoutheast of the city of Northplat meets the minimum standards stated in the Northplat code of ordinances section 156 322 and approve and grant the conditional use permit requested with a condition that all elements of the application are complied with based on the following findings. The use shall conform to all applicable ordinances, laws, and regulations of the governmental jurisdiction. The use shall have adequate water, sewer, and drainage facilities. Ingress and egress shall be so designed to minimize traffic congestion on in the public streets. The use shall in all other aspects confirm to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. The use shall be in harmony with the character of the area and the most appropriate use of land. Any additional? No. There's a motion on the floor. A motion to second. Motion by Davey, seconded by Matthews to recommend approval. Any more discussion on this one? Bring up the red X. And the recommendation for approval is made. This will go on to the city of council agenda for June 3rd and it will also be a public hearing. So you are welcome to attend and voice your opinions there also. Okie do. Uh items number five and six are related. Uh so we're going to open the public hearing on them simultaneously. So I'm going to read both items uh into the record at this

point. Okay. So, item number five is a public hearing file number AM25- Z00 004 discuss and consider action on an application by CNT Couter LLC and Jason Kayla Jensen purchaser for an amendment to the city of Northplat future land use map amending certain land from residential lowdensity single family to public quasi public on property located at 801 80 through 807 South Elm Street and described as lots 1 through 4 Cera's Second, Centennial Edition to Northplat, Lincoln County, Nebraska. Item number six is a public hearing as well. File number Z25- Z006. Discuss and consider action on application by CNT Cera LLC owner and Jason and Kayla Jensen, purchaser to reszone certain lands from R1 dwelling district to an H1 hospital district on property located at 801 through 807 South Elm Street and described as lots 1 through 4 second centennial addition to North Plat Lincoln County, Nebraska. Judy. Okay. Okay. And you should have the review comments for both the amendment to the land use map and the reszoning. Um, in order to reszone the property, it's the duty of the planning commission to ensure that 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. Planning staff has no objections to the amendment. The parcel is abuing both residential and public quasi public land use. So amending the land use to allow the property to develop as commercial property should not be a detriment to the surrounding property owners. Um with the resoning the applicant um you should have attached there a copy of the zoning map, current zoning map and then also a justification provided by the applicant, a proposed site plan if the zoning were to come to fruition. And then attached

are um some letters of support. The applicant is requesting the zone change to construct and operate a high-end full service gym and fitness center with wellness focused amenities. The applicants anticipate the traffic flow will remain consistent with other nearby medical and wellness facilities. They are planning ample on-site parking to avoid an impact to adjacent residential streets. The project will create jobs in fitness management, child care, and maintenance. The proposed gym will be complimentary addition that enhances the community health ecosystem without duplicating existing offerings. Planning staff again has no objections to the resoning if the amendment has been approved. The property is located in an area surrounded by residential and commercial hospital type uses. The project is located north of the existing Jehovah's Witness Church and directly west of Maple Park Dental. the addition of new business in the area will increase traffic. However, the applicant is providing more than adequate parking for the business. Um, also you were provided a um petition that was emailed out I believe on Friday. So hopefully all of you received that. And then um also I provided you with a few maps um just to give you a general idea of location of property owners. And then along with that, um, we do need to remember that this is a reszoning. So, I know we'll focus a lot on what they're proposing as a use, but you do also need to remember as planning commission that there are different uses that if you reszone this and something were to happen and the current proposed project would maybe fall apart that if this did get reszoned that these other uses listed on the um in the ordinance that I provided could possibly locate there in the future. Um, if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help. The applicants are in the audience.

Okie do. This is also a public hearing. Uh same rules that I read in earlier apply. Please remember you're talking to us. If there's questions that need asked, we'll do the best to ask them of the people that we can on your behalf, but keep your testimony focused on us, please. I'm going to invite the applicants up if they would like to start the presentation and then uh we'll kind of go from there. Okay. I have a couple of other letters. Can I hand those to you guys? Yeah, sure. Name and addresses, please. Uh Jason and Kayla Jensen, 1120 Tanner Court. Thank you very much. Okay, ready. Good evening and thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak with you tonight. We are Jason and Kayla Jensen, the owners of Enzo Athletic Performance, a familyoriented small business built on Christian values committed to the health and well-being of our community. We're here to request the resoning of 801 to 807 South Elm from R1 to H1. Our goal is to build a state-of-the-art space focused on wellness, youth development, and family fitness. We've been growing. We've been a growing part of this community for the past 11 years, starting with our business. In 2014, we had only 1500 square feet and 35 members. After two years, we bought and renovated our current space, a building that had sat empty and was considered an eyesore for

more than 5 years. Today, we've grown to serve 240 members ranging from 6 to 70 years old. We provide more than just workouts. We offer structured fitness, nutrition, coaching, accountability, youth development, and soon on-site child services. We're actively involved in the community as a gym. Recently, we were proud to match all the registrations for the Shamrock Shuffle fund run supporting the North Plat Children's Museum. And last holiday season, we participated in a friendly competition with other local gyms for Grace Ministries food pantry. We're asking to reszone these lots to allow us to build a new space that meets our growing need, combating rising chronic disease and helping families make health a priority. This new space will be 6 to 7,000 square feet in size, which provides room for us to run simultaneous classes for kids and adults, allowing entire families to work out and train at the same time. offer expanded child services, especially for working parents, and enhance the long-term wellness of North Plat. These lots have sat vacant for years, priced in a range that makes them unattractive for standard residential development. We paid close to asking price because we see the long-term community value this location can offer. Our peak hours are 5:30 to 7:00 a.m., 9 to 10:00 a.m., and 4:30 to 7 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. in which based on our current car count, we'll average about 15 cars in the lot at any given time. We will have more than enough on-site parking, exceeding the city requirements for the relatively small influx of cars that will be on site at one time. We do not plan to operate as a 247 facility. There will be no late night traffic and our class-based system spreads ta traffic naturally throughout the day. We're committed to making this space architecturally consistent with both healthc care buildings and residential homes, a natural extension of the

existing medical corridor, and a visual buffer between commercial activity and neighborhood homes. We will also intentionally design the building layout, lighting, and landscaping to ensure a seamless fit with the surrounding area. We understand that the resoning of these lots and the construction of our building will bring concerns and we want to be empathetic and proactive. We want to address these concerns that anybody may have and assure that we have thoughtful plans in place to mitigate them. The first considerations we have made include traffic, parking, and lighting. We expect a modest increase in traffic during class windows, but not continuous or disruptive. We expect most of the traffic to come from Philip Street. We will exceed the city's parking requirements and use shielded lighting to prevent light pollution. Our layout will avoid any impact on neighboring driveways or yards. Our gym operates with structured classes, will not operate with 247 access or drop in foot traffic, and we close by 10 p.m. We also acknowledge that they may be concerned about the change in the character of the neighborhood. We plan to preserve the character of the neighborhood by designing the building to blend in, not stand out. This is not a commercial strip mall. It's a purpose-built wellness space that will enhance the community health and value of the area. Approving this resoning enables us to have a positive impact on our community. We can hire more trainers, coaches, and support staff, offer more youth programs not found anywhere else in town, and create a space where entire families can train together. This isn't just about our business. It's about raising the standard of health in North Plat. Now, before I close, I want to leave you with a quote from one of our members. You're gonna have to show me the mom of three to help paint a picture of what kind of neighborhood we will be for this area because I understand that the mission of the planning and development team is to ensure

highquality development and protect the general welfare of the community. Personally, I think that we are the best option for a commercial neighbor that you will find. If you come to Enzo, you may be surprised who you all might bump into in any given class because we truly are a varied bunch. You may bump into your child's favorite teacher, the owner of one of your favorite local small businesses, a health care professional who has impacted your life, or a law local law officer. You might meet D, a retired woman best known for her dancing and words of encouragement. And if you do, almost if you do, if if you do, you almost certainly won't leave without the biggest hug hug you've ever had. You'll find young parents taking time to work to improve their lives so that they can be fully present for their kids. Likewise, you'll see grandparents and great-grandparents working to give their bodies what they need to keep up with the grandkids. If you stay and watch, you'll hear countless positive words and passing between people who are were at one point strangers. Thank you. I could not do that. We respectfully ask for your support in reszoning these lots to H1 so that we can move forward with that space that serves people of North Plat across generations fits with permitted uses of H1 in the area and elevates the value and vibrancy of our community. With that being said, we are under the understanding that some members of the community have signed a petition against the reszoning of this property. And I'm sure that you are you may not already know, but um of these 70 signatures, only 11 of them are within the 300 foot radius that is asked by the city. Seven signatures within that radius are not from the owners and multiple other

signatures from as far as a mile and a half away. The petition also stated that res resoning would in fact lower property values, which is an assumption, not a fact. With that being said, um I have a couple of questions for people of the board if that's okay. Yeah. Okay. Uh Nelson, um what are residential lots of this size being sold for in North Flat? Yeah. He he can't answer that because he's has to abstain from the discussion tonight. Okay. So, yeah. Okay. So, you can't Okay. Yeah. So, on the on the fact of um property values going down, so I will I let me go back to the other one. Residential lots in this town from my research are selling anywhere from 20 to $40,000 on the high end. We paid $50,000 per lot for these. And there's much better locations for those lower prices. And so, they're priced for a commercial lot. price for a commercial lot and multiple people have tried buying them at a lower rate and it's not going to happen. Um Jeff Bane, uh in your time as a real estate appraiser, um what have you seen as far as um real estate values going up or down or saying next to uh commercial spaces? Can I answer it or am I doing that? Yeah, go right. and you wouldn't have a problem. Lucky me, I have conflict. One one item usually doesn't affect a neighborhood. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Um that is all that we have. Okay. Any questions for the bank or for Jason Kayla right now? I'm sure we may have some

later. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Show of hands. Who wants to come up and talk about this one so I can kind of work through the room? Tom, come on. You okay as well? Okay, there. Okay, that gets me started. Well, thank you, Tom Worblau. Um, 8:16 South Elm, just down the street a little bit from the proposed gym. Uh, which could be a Hillport, it could be a restaurant, it could be a cremation facility. It could be mental and dental offices. Those are all permitted uses in H1 zoning as has been pointed out by Judy. Um, our objection isn't necessarily that we don't like the Jansen's at all or our neighbor, but this has been uh our plan to uh own a house there in the supposition that it would be a residential area. those lots, excuse me, when they were subdivided originally and there were covenants on the property and the covenant said those lots would be residential only with a garage. Now we're faced with the idea that these could become a commercial property has already been indicated with traffic coming in and out of there. You all you have to do is go over to me uh Mabel Park Dentistry. They've had parking problems up and down that street since they built that dental clinic. They're working on getting those solved, which is to their credit. But our concern is that we have a lot of children in the area. We have a a family down the street has seven kids and their traffic's going to move in. A lot of traffic's going to go through towards Philip, but a lot of it's not going to go towards Philip. It's going to go towards East Street. So, there's still going to be a danger to the kids in the area.

Furthermore, we have quite an investment as homeowners and our properties already that we have invested in in anticipation that the area would stay like it is. It's reasonable to assume when you buy a property and it's zoned across the street for residential that you could expect it to stay that way. I understand the argument and I appreciate the Jansen's desire to build something. There are going to be properties available very soon across North Plaid of developments that are being built. Some of them are along Philip Avenue. There'll be commercial properties available over there. To me, it makes no sense to set it in the middle of a residential area. Uh, frankly, and I don't understand the thought about it. And and I'm not really particularly concerned about Jensen's in the sense that they're not responsible people. I'm worried about the fact that if, as Judy pointed out, this this venture doesn't succeed or they decide to move someplace else, they sell the property and the use is converted to something that I've already mentioned in my letter to you. We did have 70 people sign a petition against this, which you've received a copy of. Uh, I personally went up and down the street, and I know that I got more than 11 people that live in the area. uh two people signed that have seven kids. Do you count that as just two people or you count it as nine? There's a question to answer that. So I'm particularly concerned about uh this being a lot of extra traffic that we've had not in the past. And I think that uh to assert that this is not going to have an impact in the area is naive at at a minimum. So I think there's other people here would like to speak. I may ask to come up again, but is there any questions that you have for me

personally? That's my line. Any questions for Mr. Worblau? Seeing none. Thank you, sir. Yes. Thank you. And just so you know, we were provided a a list of possible uses for H1 by Judy before the meeting tonight. Well, I'm glad I brought that to her attention. I think I saw right back here in the back. Come on up. I'm Jean Gilpin. I live at 810 South Elm Street and then I do own a rental property 702 South Maple. And I'm also concerned with the the the traffic that this is going to cause coming from Elm onto Phillip and vice versa, Philip to Elm. And I did go around and have people sign. I know it was out of the 300 uh radius, but it's people that do drive down Elm Street to get on to Phillip and it is going to create We do have families with kids and that's a safety issue to consider also. Plus the noise. We live in a low residential area. It's pretty much quiet elderly people and people with families. So that is a concern that I I do have and I'm you know I don't know the Jensen's from Adam and it sounds like a wonderful facility but I don't think our residential area is really a good fit for that. Any questions from Skilpin? Thank you. Of course. I think I saw Did you put your hand up? Come on up. Um I'm Joyce McCra. I live at 808 South. Um, if three things, I don't care if it's the Jensen's building a gym or whatever, but I think the city, the president, if you approve this, anyone can come to you in

any open residential lot. If you have a lot across the street from your house, it could be approved and it's a commercial lot. So it sets a precedent of turning residential areas into commercial areas that were never meant to be that way. Um the second thing I don't know if if Mr. Jet is ex not able to vote on this but since his company sold the property I think he should be rec not allowed. Um, the third thing is the reason those lots have not sold for years is because Mrs. Peaks, who is Mr. Cassera's daughter, stated that they wouldn't be sold for less than $50,000. And that's why they've never sold. She won't take anything less than that money. And Charlie, her dad, never intended for that area to be anything but residential. We've known him for years before he passed. And that was never his plan for that land to be used for a commercial property. He wanted housing that was reasonable and efficient. Um and that's what we'd like it to stay. Any questions for um just for the record before we go any further, Mr. Jet is recusing himself from this vote as well as Mr. Davies. Mr. Steel, I think you were next. Um, Court Steel, 1116 West 4th. Um, I just wanted to speak a couple minutes on behalf of Jason and Kayla. Um, I started seeing them as soon as I moved back in 2020 and they um, helped me with a lot of different things from like they said, nutrition all the way to getting some

help. and uh from way one way or to another I' I've found my myself back over there and uh they've they've been a great asset to the community and I know a lot of people have uh in that neighborhood I've said that but one other or shown their displeasure for for having that but um this wouldn't be uh I don't think that's a great example to use when it comes to having a just some residential lot there are other commercial um properties over there that I think would um that that have have been there for a long time and have added a lot of value to those um to the area. And I I also am a big believer in I really don't love driving around town and seeing empty lots. I think we need to let these companies grow. Uh they have started from practically nothing, helping a lot of my uh they started when I was in high school. Um and they've they have had a great track record of um allowing high schoolers at first and then they've grown to the six to 70 and and have really grown from the bottom up and and I think we should not be starting the starting the downward or North Plat's doing a lot of great things and I don't think one of them should be us trying to limit a a homegrown business from continuing to grow. It's uh again they're they're awesome people. They're not lying when they say that. Uh that's one of the reasons why I decided to rejoin after a year or two. I we we have a I have a young kid trying to do a lot of those things that they're talking about, trying to get to where my health and I can be very active with my son. Um so it's uh it's a very it's a very good environment, very positive and uh they are amazing people to and and they've built a really good community inside that gym. So, those are just a couple things that I wanted to mention to to kind of be before be uh this this development. So, okay. Any questions for

Mr. Steel? Thank you, sir. Thank you. Come on up. Did I see somebody's hand go up over here, too? Okay, right over there. Thank you. I'll get to you in just a second. My name is Bruce Peterson. I live at 806 South Elm, and I've lived there for 41 years. And I bought the house originally from Charlie and Charlie stated that I wanted to buy one of them lots across the street and he told me that they would be houses eventually. Now I have nine grandchildren across the living across the street from this and my grandchildren are out riding their bikes and stuff up and down this street and with all this extra traffic and stuff where is that going to leave us? And then the other question I got is how many of these lots are they going to actually use? Are they going to use all four of these lots? Are they going to sell off two of these lots? If they sell off any of these lots, what other kind of business are we going to wind up with? So them are my questions. Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Peterson? Oh, thank you, sir. Lana. Hello. Um, Leticia Love it, 1501 West A Street here in town. Um, thanks for the opportunity to speak. Uh, it's pretty obvious that this topic has both emotional and practical concerns. I know change can be difficult, especially when it touches homes and neighborhoods and communities, but I believe that what is being proposed can add real value to this community um physically, economically, and socially. It isn't just a business

venture. It's a purpose-driven investment in health, wellness, and connection. And our vision vision is to build a top tier gym facility as was stated that doesn't just serve athletes but supports families, professionals, seniors, and youth alike. Um, the space encourages movement, belonging, and long-term well-being. So, you might support the Jensen. You might be saying, "Yeah, that's a great vision. We support their mission, but build it somewhere else." Um, I can assure you that we wouldn't be here tonight if uh that option had been explored hadn't been explored very very very thoroughly and um doors had been opened and closed and um it was just a very thoughtful and very thorough decision. um for over five plus years now, many options have been considered. And finally, through great examination and deliberation, this property is the ideal location. Um it's access accessible, it's visible and perfectly positioned to serve the surrounding area. By repurposing these four lots, we're not disturbing a c quiet street. We're revitalizing a corner of the neighborhood in a way that brings people together. Um, as a resident here in North Plat, I can understand uh change and I mean it's been an open lot for a long time and you could call that a view. I mean, the residents there and I don't deny that. But, um, things are going to fill up. Um, and it it's important that we choose wisely and decide decide together to grow and what's best. um living at living in is in a city is is the trade-off for that. I mean, you just that's what we signed up for. These areas are going to fill up. Um you're

going to be home next to homes or businesses or um schools. You're going to be surrounded by things. That's the trade-off unless you live um elsewhere. So with the surrounding other commercial buildings, um again I just restate that this is the ideal location for this and it flows well with those businesses and the residential areas will not be disturbed. Um it's not completely about building a gym. It's about building something with you. It's a a place where you can take your kids for their first training session, where your neighbor finds motivation to get stronger after surgery, where we can all get a little better together. Um, and I hope you'll join us in making this uh vision a reality and a location that has been very carefully selected with much intention and um consideration for the residents nearby. Any questions for Miss Love? Thank you, ma'am. Anybody else on this one? Come on up. Hello. Um, I'm Maddie Krebs. I live at 3665 North Homestead Road. Sorry, I have to read mine. Um, it's hard to put into words just exactly how much Jason and Kayla and the Enzo business means to so many people in this community. Enzo is not some big box commercial business coming in trying to take advantage of the North Plat dollar. This gym and these people are invested in our community, the future of it, the the health of it, and the sustainability of it. And they have made a difference in so many people's lives already. um if they are able to create a bigger facility in a centralized location, they will help affect so many more people in the town of Northplat. I am a North Plat native and I've lived here since I was

12 years old. I've watched many businesses go in and out of this town, people who were for them and against them all at the time. And while I understand that traffic may be the main issue, um I can ensure the people of the neighborhood that Jason and Kayla are easy to work with, want the best for everyone in their lives, and will make accommodations so that their business can not only succeed, but the neighborhood is happy and healthy as well. And they will do their absolute best to keep the neighborhood a place that people still love to live in. They have two children of their own and would never create something that would endanger children in the area. I can guarantee you they have done their research and they will ensure us that safety is a number one priority. Um, North Plat is growing and improving every day. Eventually, this property is going to sell. Um, and it's going to be sold to someone. Um, it's surrounded by other businesses already. If it stays residential, priced the way that it is, there's a chance that the only people who can afford to build residentially are the ones who may develop it into apartment buildings. low-income housing or many other things that could be done residentially. If you reszone this area for commercial, you know exactly who's going into it right now and what they want to do with it. They are people that want the best for this community and all of the people in it. They are committed to serving North Plat for the long term. This is not a 10-year business and then they're out and selling to someone else. Um, if you pass on the opportunity to allow these people to develop this land as a business that you already know and is already succeeding and giving back to Northplat and willing to improve our community, then you're giving the chance to someone else that you don't know to possibly come into our town who doesn't understand it. They may develop this property into something that you do not want. Um, I hope that you will consider reszoning this property to allow them to build the business that is not only going going to better North Plat, but

all the people in it. Thank you. Any questions for Miss Krebs? Thank you. Anybody else? Give me just a second to make sure everybody's had a chance. I will come back to you. I promise you. Come on up. My name's Tom McCra. I live at 808 South Elm. We've lived here most of my life. After retiring from the railroad, we traveled and then lived in Salt Lake City in southern Utah and decided to move back home. When we bought this property, it was the intent that I asked about the the area across the street was residential. Retired. I've been working in a physical education. I taught school. I worked for the railroad here for 30 years. I don't want to be in a neighborhood with a lot of traffic. And secondly, this gym that they want to build, I don't think it's necessary. I go to the rec center every morning almost at least five days a week. I work out in there. I never see more than two or three people in the gym part, the weight rooms in the mornings. I don't know when they're all working out, but I don't think it's being used to its fullest. And I don't think this is necessary in our neighborhood. There's plenty of other lots that aren't in residential areas. When we bought this place, we were told it was residential and we assumed it would stay that way. Thank you. Any questions for Mr. McCra? Thank you, sir. Thank you. Anybody else? First time out. I haven't forgotten you. Come on up. I'm going to go through everybody

that's gone, okay? Or hasn't gone yet. Go ahead. Sandra, were 8:16 South Elm. So, we live across from the property. Um, my concern is that the Jensen stated that their business is growing and they're up to 200 and some. Well, that's a lot of people to be going in and out of the building across the street. And the parking um that's on the plan is enough for I think it was 68 cars and then parking in the back. I think there were eight along the alley. So um I assume if they built there they would continue to grow which means more than 200 and some people there in a day. So that's my concern. Any questions? Thank you. Anybody else new that hasn't gone yet in the back? Come on up. Brian Plank, 618 South Maple. Um, a couple things. I think we have enough gyms in North Plat. It's no reflection on the Jensen's. Um, this was zoned residential. It should stay residential. Um, we don't know what kind of building they might put up. It's all brick houses on the west side of Elm. Beautiful homes. Everybody's been paying taxes there for 25 years. They want to keep it a quiet neighborhood. And I want to keep it a quiet neighborhood. Also, any questions for Mr. Plane? Thank you, sir. Okay. Appreciate your time. Anybody

else? All right, one more shot. Come on up. Remind us your name again. I've got it written down. My name is Bruce Peterson. I live at 80 South Elm. Exactly 12 years ago, we went through the very same thing and it was deemed then to stay residential. What has changed since then? Why can't it stay residential? Residential belongs in residential. Commercial belongs in commercial. And that's my way of thinking. Thank you. You're welcome. Sorry to make you wait through a few people. Did you want another shot? I do. Come on up. I would just like Judy to clarify what Maddie said about what could what else could be built on those lots because she said apartment buildings or other things. And when you and I corresponded, you told me also that it can be residential, single family homes on those lots. So I'd like that everyone to know that that's corrected to what she said because that kind of building won't be allowed. So in a single family, which is what it is currently zoned as as an R1 residential district, um it's suited for single family residences. Now, a couple of years ago, we did allow for ADUs, so you can put an accessory dwelling unit on there, but that's it. Single family right now currently. Now, if they do change the resoning, you guys have the list of things that could possibly go in there if you do change it to an H1. But yes, right now, they could not put an apartment complex there because it is an R1. They would have to

change it to a R3 district in order to put an apartment on. Okay. Anybody else want to testify on this one? Last shot. Thank you. This is Tom Worblau again, 816 South Elm. Um, just want to point out that we've had a number of people in the area express a concern about this facility. The people that are speaking in favor of it don't live in the area of the facility. To me, that's a slam dunk. I don't understand why there should be a question, frankly. That's a comment I wanted to make. Thank you. Thank you. Anybody else want to talk? It's new. Last shot. They're spending a lot of money on a new facility out there by the old rec center, right? City is. Why do you want competition? I don't understand that. You've got to that's going to be state-of-the-art from what I heard as a physical education facility and I don't think we need any more than that. Thank you. That was Mr. McCra, right? Yeah. Thank you. in the back. Hi, Teresa Cox, 4281 North Homestead Road. I've known Kayla and Jason before they even started the gym um here in North Plat. Worked out with them when it belonged to somebody else. Um then they took over the gym, got married and um our family has pretty much benefited from the gym. We've used the rec center

too and I am thrilled that the rec center went through and you know we're building the pool to better for the school and swim meets and things like that because that is needed for North Plat but so is um Enzo. I personally enjoy going to Enzo because of the gym community, the family that we have there and um you know all I can say is that and and I understand the concern with residential but everybody is very responsible. Could something happen? Yes, it could happen anywhere in town. Um, I just want you to look at, uh, like they said, we have people there very young to very old. Help each other out all the time. Um, the rec center is going to be there for everybody along with the other gyms in town. You know, don't just say no just because it's another gym in town, I guess. Thank you. Any questions? Okoke. Anybody else new want to talk on this one? Come on up. Donna Tryan 820 South Brian. Um I don't really have any skin in the game one way or the other. I just have a question. If this gets changed to H-1 Hospital, does that then open the door for them to become property tax exempt? I just No, because they're not for they're not a not for-profit facility. Okay. But if the zoning is changed and that doesn't if this doesn't project doesn't go through, does it still open the door for another medical if if if a nonprofit medical facility built there, then that would be Yes. And they could with an H1, right? That's

correct. Okay. I just wanted to clarify that. Yeah. I don't want properties going off the tax roles anymore than what I've already got going on, if you know what I mean. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Anybody else new on this one? Going once. Going twice. Make a motion we close public hearing. Second. Motion by Bane, seconded by Mchune to close the public hearing. Any discussion on that? No. Yeah. Okay. So, you're everybody's abstaining on the vote. Better abstain from this, too. So, there'll be five. Yep. Okay. And the public hearing is now closed. All right. We're going to talk about this up here. discussion or any questions from the applicants who are still here. Um, somewhere along the line there's a lot of discussion, but there was covenants mentioned. I asked that question to Judy because the the the petition referenced covenants that that the there was covenants on the land to prevent it from being anything else. So, I asked the question, what did you two find? I didn't find anything. I did look at the register of deeds to see if I could see if there was anything on file for these particular properties. There may be something old, but I did not find anything with the resources that I had to look. But the other thing, and please, Bill, step in if I'm incorrect, the city does not enforce covenants. So, any covenant that is put on a piece of property is not something that we enforce. Covenants are enforced by the current property owners that are

under the covenants or typically an HOA, homeowners association or something like that because a covenants honestly that would really stifle the city if there was an area that we needed to develop if there was a covenants on there and it would it would have a problem with us. So, we don't enforce those and that's by state statute. Correct. Yeah. And and Judy's right. So, um covenants are a private matter. Zoning is a public matter. So zoning is for the city to enforce. Covenants are for private parties to enforce. So the question with a covenant always becomes who has the right to enforce it if if they are out there. I I personally I didn't get a chance to look and see whether there were covenants here or not because I didn't feel like it was all that um important to the planning commission's uh consideration. So that's more for the private parties to worry about. What about deed restrictions? If somebody had placed, can they put a deed restriction on this from back when could they? Yes. Could that certain certainly? And so that that would be something I again that would be more of a private matter responsible for enforcement it it would come up as part of closing with the title company would be my guess. Other questions. How long ago was the H1 reszoning for both sides of South Maple? Oh gosh, it was prior to 2012 because in 2012 we had an application for the same property to reszone. And so there was already H1 on Maple. Um, boy, I'd have to go back and look for sure, but it was prior to 2012, I would guess. 2008, somewhere that years, 20 years, maybe almost. Yep.

Um, so my question then becomes, it's been a long time. It's been a slow development, but is it still that residential? The other two lots south of the uh proposed resoning uh are taken up by a parking lot and a church. And it seems like that um from the east side of South Elm across to the east side of South Maple uh would look to me like an not a residential area at this point. Now, some of it's vacant. I mean, that's true, but um I don't know that there's any compelling reason why we couldn't um continue with that resoning to it's adjacent to H1 zone. Now, um, one of the comments, too, was that it couldn't be multifamily, but someone, an entity could come in and purchase those lots and request the reszoning to a multif family. Correct. They could, just like it's being requested now. Yes, they could. So, as long as those lots are vacant, it there could be any request to do anything on it. Correct. So this way at least it would be controlled under the H1 correct if we if we change it. Okay. The biggest difference I see is that there's still residential on the west side of Elm Street. Back to Mr. Glenn's conversation on Maple Street. You have it on both sides.

I think I printed a color map of which Kurt's got right now. I think you've essentially got a H1 wedge that goes from the alley between Maple and what's that street? Straight east of Maple. Yeah. Ash. And then basically you've got it the other boundary is the alley between Elm and maple. Maple. Right. So, basically, you got this wedge that goes right through there that I'm not quite sure what the origins of that are, but it sure exists. Um, the origins of that, I can tell you. Um, that property right on South Maple was owned by a church. um and it was stayed vacant for quite some time and then they decided to subdivide that property and sell it off. That's how it became H1. I mean that's just the history of how that piece became H1 because it was all owned by one entity. questions. So I have another question. Um, a a ways back we or a while back, I should say, we considered a property with a a special use where it was for that use as being proposed. Is that not an option for this property? This is a resoning. So, what you're referring to is probably a conditional use permit. So, there's a difference between resoning and conditional uses. with a reszoning. Once you reszone it, then you're opening it

up to anything that is allowed in that zoning plus conditional uses. Um, with a conditional use permit, then you have the ability to say, "Okay, this is the particular project. This is what you're doing, and we're going to add these conditions on to that." That's different than the case here. So, if you reszone this, you can't go back to this zoning regulation and say, "Okay, I want to reszone it to an H1, but I'm only going to allow this use, this use, and this use." That's already been decided. So, if you do an H1, you're potentially allowing whatever uses are allowed in that H1. Would a U gym this use be a an allowable conditional use in the residential district? No. So that's why the whole re reszone thing has to come up. Correct. So the only zone uh zoning you could do this in would be a Bzoning or an Hz zoning. Commercial. Yeah. Uh commercial zoning, a Hz zoning, or an industrial zoning would allow any of those. Well, we certainly don't want industrial right there. Well, as far as the option, it's the best option to keep it calm. you know, it's going to increase traffic, and that's all I see is the reduction to the entire neighborhood would be traffic. Everything else, the aesthetics is going to be fine. I think the use is going to be fine. As far as parking, I think the the parking, if you look at the site plan, the site plan takes up all four lots, fronts, back with adequate parking, and they'll run until at night from 8 in the morning you have people that are sporadic all day you have morning you have night I don't think that they'll ever

fill the parking I think adequate parking but that's all behind beyond the issue so the current zoning is R1 R1 and the f the future land use map is R1 correct Jason Kayla can I ask you a follow-up question come on up What what time of the day are you guys the busiest in your So you 6 to 6 a.m. The first session runs at 5:30. Mhm. And then when's the second session? 9:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. And when's it is it? And then it jumps to 4:30. So we have a noon as well that's not very busy. And then 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. Okay. And so which which of those are the busiest right now? 5:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 4:30. Okay, those are your heaviest traffic times. And how many participants right now are in those times? So our our class capacity is 25 and we average 18 to 20 people. Okay. You were trying to get my attention earlier to show me something. I wanted to let you do that. So yeah, so um if you guys are looking for any of the covenants, which I I found out were irrelevant for reszoning, but we do have all the covenants and what was like the uh covenants that were waved. So in 1989, he waved the covenants that limits the land to structures for dwelling and who Kayla, I'm sorry, uh Charles Cusera. Okay. So we did review all the covenants to see like what his plan was and it was very clear his original plan and then he waved the covenants that that were put on there. Okay. Any other questions for Jason and Kayla? Thank you very much. Okay, so you have two issues here. The first one on the table is a future land use map

alteration. So, and then there's a second one behind it that is a zoning change request. Um, we've been advised at this point by Bill to go ahead and take them both up. Um, because again, we are not the final authority on this. We make a recommendation to the council and the council will be make the final decision on this. Everybody clear with that? So, one way or the other, this will be on the council agenda June 3 unless something happens where between now and then where the applicant would withdraw the application. So council will hear this on June 3rd with a recommendation one way or the other from us. Everybody clear. Any more discussion? Not I would entertain a motion. Um I move to make a recommendation to approve file number Z25-00006. The amendment first. Okay. Sorry. Yep. You're on the wrong one. Okay. Okay. Um I move to make a recommendation to approve file number AM25-004, an amendment to the city of Northpot future land use map amending certain land from residential low density single family to public quas quasi public on property located at 801- 807 South Elm Street. Is there a second? A second. Motion by Matthew, seconded by Van Velson to make a recommendation to recommend uh recommend the future land use map be changed. Any further discussion on that? Not. There's the big

X. Four to one. Four to one. Okay. This will go to council with a positive recommendation. All right. So then item number six. Six. Sorry, I've lost my agenda. Is the resoning request? Yes. For the record, Jet and Davies both abstained. Thank you, Bill. This next item is the reasonzoning. Oh, there's my agenda. Any discussion on that one? If not, there's I do entertain a motion. I move to make a recommendation to approve file number Z25- Z006 to reszone certain land from an R1 dwelling district to an H1 hospital district on property located at 801-87 South Elm Street. Is there a second? Second. Motion by Matthew, seconded by Bane to recommend approval of the resoning. Any more discussion on this one? Not what was uh oh I don't know and the motion is approved 4 to one but again Davies and Jet abstaining. This also will go to city council on June 3rd at 5:30. Um the city council does do a public hearing just the same. So you're all welcome to attend and speak. Thank you all for your input tonight. We appreciate it. Um item

number seven, discuss and consider changing the June 24th 25 planning commission meeting date and time. Uh June 24th is prime rib sandwich feed. So you've got a couple of options. Um I did talk to the mayor. You could do June 17th, which is a Tuesday, but that would probably we would probably want to do it early, like 4:30, so that we can be done before city council. Um, or we could do Monday the what would that be? The 16th if you want to do a Monday at 5:30. Or I guess you guys could give me an option of what day you want to do it. Tuesday is the Buffalo Bill Golf Classic. Tuesday the 17th. And we do have something already for that meeting. Correct. I do have at least one agenda item, possibly three. So, I mean, you can do it Tuesday, you can do it Monday, you can do it Wednesday, but I know Wednesday you're really getting into Nebraska land days. So, I would probably do it Monday. It's gonna I'm out either day, so it's doesn't matter to me. I'm probably not going to be able to make it that week either. No, the week of the the seven 1617. Yes, I thought that Monday and Tuesday. So, Monday before the We could do Monday before the regular meeting which would push us back to the 23rd the se. So, June 23rd. Yeah, we could do that. Got one. No. Okay. Got a couple of yeses. The 23rd. The 17th you said was out. Well, the 17th, I mean, you could do, but we've got several people saying that they can't be there. City council and city council. So, I mean, we'd have

to hurry and get out of the way. We don't want to do that. I'm good with the 23rd if you We might be Kurt saying no. I I think I'm okay on that. We've only got one real driving. I don't know if Yeah, I should be back by the Monday. All right, let's shoot for the 23rd and 23rd. We'll go with it then. Okay. 5:30. Still good. Yep. Just change the date, not the time. Okay. Oh, I can't. But that's okay. Go ahead and do it. I have a baseball grandson. Okay. From my grandson. I have All right. Boy, we're batting a hundred on that. Any old old business? Any new business? I've got a new business. Um I've been asked to see what you guys think about the possibility we have a adult-based business regulations, which we don't look at a lot. Um and we've allowed it in industrial permitted by right. Um, I was asked to see if you guys would be willing to look at doing everything as a conditional use. If it regards to an adult-based business, just make it conditional use. I think we only had it set for commercial as a conditional use and then industrial areas as um permitted use, but I've been asked to see what your pallet is for putting it as conditional use in those three districts. The rest of it is not allowed in. I didn't have time to post it. You would consider it. I agree. Sure. I'll probably put it as a public hearing for the next meeting so that we can get that adopted if you're okay with that. Any more new business? I was thinking there was something else, but

Oh, we did not. So, um, at the last council meeting, there was some, uh, discussion about RV parking that we passed a couple of years ago. Mhm. And so, um, the off street stuff. Yes. One of the suggestions was to bring it back and maybe look at, um, changing some of the language a little bit to make it a little bit more clear. Um, and I think we can come up with maybe a couple of suggestions. We have the the residents that the come up just they have suggestions as they want the commission commission to consider. That's fine. Come on up. I'm Donna Tai 2320 Cedarberry Road. Um, next door neighbors got a a driveway cut to put in a lava rock driveway for their 42 foot long, 14 foot high RV that parks next to my bedroom windows and completely blocks our light and our view. And so, um, we just asking, it seemed when I read what you guys had done, um, in 2023 that it was supposed to be on on the side of their garage in between two garages, um, he'd have to move a fence back. And I understand he's already had some expense doing the driveway cut. I get that. But there should be no way that they'd allow us to lose our light and our view for the sake of an RV. So, we're just asking that you maybe look at the language and um see if you can make it a little clearer. If if not, my home is rendered devalued by half because nobody

wants to live next to that. It's it's terrible. I It's atrocious. I have pictures. You are welcome to ask me to see them. It's just it shouldn't be done in a residential area like that. So that's So I think part of the issue Thank you. Sorry. I think part of the issue with the regulations is it does say that um they can park it in a sideyard abuing a driveway. It does not clearly state abuing an existing driveway. So, this individual I I don't think was trying to be, you know, out of whack, but created a driveway to park his RV on. So, I think that's maybe where the clarification issue is. I read into a little bit of it and he's kind of swaying a little bit with hard surface with just rock for one. And that's the other thing too that maybe we could look at. I don't know. Somehow we need to have some sort of offsets to where they can't just slam it in. somebody's house, right? And there's not much offset anyway in some of the situations. Well, we wouldn't allow somebody to run a driveway clear up to the lot line, would we? Um, yeah, you can. So, so you're allowed you're allowed um I think each lot, depending on the size of a lot, is allowed for a 40 foot wide curb cut. You can do that 20 foot here and 20 foot here. So, you could technically have two driveways on a lot. Um and that's kind of what he did. He had his one driveway where the um garage was and then created another driveway on the other side. On the other side. Yeah. I don't know that that was the intention of the code. Right. So I think we just need to kind of look at that. Is this just to address coming off a street or was it to address coming off an alley? I think this particular circumstance

you're asking it's off a street. Yes, I think it's What about do you get into alley versus street? Probably. I mean, I would think it would almost adhere to both because you can't park in a public street during certain times. I wouldn't think you could park in a public alley during certain times. Or what about off an alley? And what if he extended it all the way to the back alley and then parked it in and then you could do that because you could be in his yard on that driveway he created that goes all the way to the Yeah. And you can park Yeah. the way the regulations say you can park in your rear yard. So that if it was back far enough would technically be in the rear yard. So yeah, I think we can just look at it. So I'll bring that one back as more of a discussion and maybe we'll have some suggestions. I'll bring the other one back as hopefully a public hearing just to get that one done. Yeah, I think we can just add in some of our proposed language for the because I know city council members even offered some suggestions. We can have that next meeting. Yep. Okay. My suggestion is the issue is the u the location of the of the trailer mobile home the the location of that impedes affects darkens the neighbors. Yeah. Okay. So I think maybe can we put in a registration that says that it that it cannot block impede or block the the the windows of the adjacent residence. Yeah. I mean that's the question here. There has to be clearance or an offset clearance or something to something. Yeah. Okay. We'll look at it and think about think any other new business. I don't think I have anything. If not, we're journed.
