“Well, it doesn't look like we have any. Thanks, Nick. We appreciate that. Is the applicant here? Hi. You want to come on down? We'll give you a quick minute to add anything to that presentation that you like. You can just start out by stating your name. But you don't have to say much unless we've got some questions for you. So don't panic.”

“Perfect. Any questions for the applicant? OK. All right, the way this works is we'll put it up for public hearing, and if we've got any questions after that, we'll let you know and come back up, okay? Okay, thank you. All right, thank you. All right, this is a public hearing, so we'll have a couple of these tonight. The rules for public hearings, we let anybody come up and speak about this agenda item for up to three minutes. We've got a nice big red timer up there for you. You don't need to take the full time on this or any of the agenda items if you'd like to comment on them. We just ask…”

“Great. Thanks, Kendra. Who will second that?”

“Yeah, that'd be an okay time to discuss that with that condition.”

“So do we need to amend that motion that Kendra made and just add that in there? Is that what you're saying, Susan?”

“So basically, condition six here is that the applicant obtain a letter from the HOA providing consent to operate a home occupation that has an additional employee who works remotely. So what we're saying is... Do we bring her up and ask if that's even going to be an issue? Yeah, why don't we do that, and then let's hold on your motion. Let's do that. Let's hold on that for a minute, because I think that'll answer that. Yeah, so Emily, if you'd like to come back down, then you can see us up here stumbling through this. You probably don't. So tell us a little bit about the ability to get a…”

“And this is unlike in a single-family home. We don't see this come up because most likely there's not an HOA, even though some single-family homes do have that HOA. So that's interesting. I mean, I've been up here a long time, and I haven't heard that we need to get a letter from the HOA.”

“Okay, so what I would suggest, Emily, now that we brought you up here, your employee is remote, correct?”

“And will they ever, ever be at your house?”

“Okay. And if you did, you're allowed to have friends over, so if they're your friend, that would work too. But as an employee capacity, right, they could, yeah. So what I would suggest is that we just waive that requirement to get the letter because there's no need. That's what I would suggest. And that's allowed. We could change that in our motion up here and then vote on that, removing number six.”

“Perfect. Thank you. And would that work for you then? Yeah. So not having to even go talk to your HOA about this?”

“That would be great. I don't know what they would even say to that. They'd probably lay an egg and take a month to never respond, so that's fine. So I think that's the best way to do it.”

“Perfect. That sounds great. Is there anyone that will second that?”

“Great. So thanks for the motion, Kendra, and then the second from Susan. Okay, let's put this one to a vote then. So Kendra, this is for approval of the home occupation. What is your vote?”

“Okay. Congrats on that. Good luck. And then sounds like a great little business. Thanks for coming in and doing it the right way. All right, so let's move on to our next public hearing. This is Exchange 14068 South 145 East Development Agreement Request. It's on the request of Woodbury Corporation for a development agreement on approximately 2.15 acres of property located at 14068 South 145 East. It's known as Application 2026-0195-DA. Our staff contact on this one is Jennifer Jastrzemski. So go ahead, Jennifer.”

“Jennifer, do you have a picture of that building that's already that other height? That's similar height. I know these are not. I do not.”

“Okay, we can ask the applicant, too, if they can verify that. Mm-hmm.”

“Perfect. And then can I ask you, too, so what's the – every island, when you're talking about an island, you're saying that that should have landscape on the island, correct, when there's – head-to-head or bumper-to-bumper parking, there should be an island in between?”

“As shown on the other side, that's code. Tree diamonds are not allowed, thank goodness, in Draper anymore, so thank goodness. Okay.”

“Sometimes they're just diamonds. They just take your bumper off, or you forget it's there, and then you pull forward, and you have no bumper. Yeah, but there's some detriments to that. So if those are already there, is that kind of – well, I'll ask the applicant that, but I just want to be clear on what – would normally require is a landscaped island. When you're saying island, that's not just a sea of concrete, right? Like, you'll see parking lots where they actually do have an island in there. Like, let's take Harman's, for example. They'll just have an island right in the middle, Walmart,…”

“Got it. Okay. So anytime we see that, that's on a development agreement, clearly, or a deviation. Okay. All right. Those are the questions I have. Anything else?”

“That's why it's great that Jennifer pointed out that there's already a building that looks like this, that has this, and that it's already got that same height. And what you're saying is, does that height include or not include? And you're saying it does not include because that's allowed on anything, that 14-foot architectural. Right.”

“All right. Thank you, staff. We appreciate that. Is the applicant here? Hi. Come on down. And if you just state your name, and then clearly we'll have some questions for you.”
