“Thank you, Chairman. Real quick, we're not, for those in the audience that don't know, we're not supposed to talk about Platts. We're not allowed to. So this is the first time I can speak to my fellow commissioners regarding this. I'm not saying the developer did anything wrong, but this ended up being a big mess. I was contacted in the evening with homeowners ready to fight, police on the way, and an adjoining development trying to take down a fence to put a stub street into a private gated addition that has a whole lot of amenities. And these people were mad. And we don't get paid for that…”

“Well, and that's not part of my purview, really. I just was wondering if it was gated. The second lesson that this... this case should teach us that I'm requesting of my fellow commissioners is that when a PUD is heard, a PUD of this size especially, followed on the same agenda with the preliminary plat, there's a whole lot of changes that happen up here during hearing the PUD. We put a bunch of TEs on it, and then the preliminary plat falls behind it and you approve it. And then what happens in this case can happen they go out there they got work orders for streets drainage you know put in…”

“That's a possibility, but when it is allowed, I don't think they need to have stubs to a dead-end fence because, especially this addition, Williamson Farms, and I've worked hand-in-hand with the HOA team there because this is 750 homes, 100% built out. They have multiple swimming pools, multiple clubhouses, multiple ponds. And they pay very high dues, and the last thing they want is hundreds of other houses coming through their neighborhood and could go use any of their amenities, but they don't pay dues.”

“Right. Streets to nowhere are not good. And a crash gate is usually a bar that pedestrians can just walk right through. And this private 750 home development next door did not want that fence taken down. And I agree with them. So I just believe that – and I believe the planning commission – That heard this PUD originally, they agreed with it. And some of you were on that. And they said, you need another access to 119th. It just didn't get passed throughout to the field. That's what happened. And today we're correcting all that. So with that being said, I'll quit preaching and I'll recommend…”

“We can't decide who buys the property and develops it, though.”

“Is this facility air conditioned so that the doors would be down after a vehicle pulled in? That's what I thought I had heard.”

“I... I agree with the downzoning potential, but I also hate the fact that the developer peeled off part of this commercial to sell all these homes and specifically limited that use.”

“Yeah. My point still stands. I've been in neighborhood meetings with you where you, and before I became a planning commissioner, I would have never looked at a PUD nearby a neighborhood that I was talking with the realtor about buying a house. But you brought that up, that people should do that. When you're looking at property, you should read a PUD next door. Well... This was the developer that did this. And I just, you know, I just have a little bit of hesitation because there were limited uses removed to develop this neighborhood.”

“Well, let me say this. This isn't in my ward, and staff doesn't provide us the old PUDs or SPUDs in our case reports. And we already have enough to learn and read through with the packets we get, so I don't know what the old PUD and SPUD said. All I see is what you're asking for.”

“And I agree that air conditioned shop with the doors down, they're not going to leave them open. You're not going to hear as much. I do concur that the equipment is now not pneumatic. It is electric. It's industry wide. I don't know. I think the buffer is an improvement. I mean, I think about in Commissioner Newman, we had a previous case on 104th where people turned down and fought and fought against something that was proposed and that it went away and now things come in and they're regretting what they turned down. So there's both sides to it.”

“Which we're talking about they could have this right now, but that's in here still. We need to remove it if that's the case, especially the drive-thru restaurants.”

“It's just, I mean, I see it both ways. Yeah, the 8300.36 drive-thru window with the... Drive-thru restaurant, fast food with drive-thru order window. The speaker box is 150 foot away from residential.”

“thing today i think we'll get you up to speed yeah there were there were two different focus groups and i'm on the one with all the council people and no none of the planning commissioners um ours went really good i thought i think we got through everything on the list um i don't know how the second one went went though we might not have gotten yeah we talked about one and we didn't come to any decision so there you go well it's we're moving along all right”

“I'll jump in. I understand the previous application was seeking to continue the events, and this one does not. I do agree that this is a down zone. But more than anything, I agree that it's been agricultural for decades. That's my position.”

“unless it was a possibility of event center and then you would have a pd to limit hours and days of operation and amount of people allowed on the property and to me it seems like the client understands that bus has left the building no different than in my neighborhood if i live on a half acre and 150 homes if i want to have a party and have 80 cars wrapped around my neighborhood i have the right to do that and i also have the right to get in trouble with with the action center for it um I do, but like I said, I believe it's a down zone, and I believe that this does give the neighbor's teeth…”

“Well, because it's already zoned that, because it's already zoned that, there wouldn't be an ability to even complain about it. But I believe if this case was the opposite way, and this was AA trying to be turned to R1, there'd be more people here to protest, period. Because they can get sewer to this site. Yes, they can.”

“I agree with removing T number one, the queuing lane, I think is very important. And I'm good with replacing that stricken T number one with the removal of the gasoline cells 8300.46. Any other commissioners have any other comments regarding this?”

“With that being said, and with the TEs, as I've just read in, I would like to recommend approval of PUD 2149.”

“Well, if you pulled a building permit to build something, that's when it would require it. Right now, it wouldn't require anything if you agreed to that.”

“OK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I spoke with the client driven by this property. I do like the exhibit because it shows the existing septic radius on the existing house and the existing water well radius. I understand the smallest lots at the front, it is 1.05 acres. I would like to add a TE that any additional residential homes shall tie onto and must have city water. That'll keep from having aerobic spraying in a well field. You know where you're mixing, you know what. Anyway, I do like that it has a requirement for the paved access 24 foot wide with the fire department turnaround. And you do…”

“Right. There's no rule that your driveway has to be in the front on this type of situation. So if the front, if the house face check haul, it would be at check haul. Yeah. So I'm good with tying T number one to tie PED 2155 exhibit B to T number one, showing all setbacks for all three lots. T number two is written, and T number three to require any new residential structures to must access and use city water.”

“The goal of that is not to have two more wells dug with aerobic. Got it. Got it. Got to go.”
