“Let me make sure I'm right on this too, Joe. You guys will... basically going to complete the entire road section extension of providence parkway all the way leading to this site so that road will be completed in its entirety correct the development of this site that is correct yeah so unlike what we did on the other side of providence parkway where it was three lanes for a time and then it ultimately got widened to five right this gets the ultimate five-round section at the central pike”

“start prior to the central pike interchange therefore allowing john hager whether or not it comes like this i'm sure that's a discussion between you guys and tdot uh out there but this would potentially give an access point a good access point so that the people on john hager continue to come in and out exactly”

“It at least gives an option or an access point right there with the folks that depend on John Hager while Central Pike is kind of messed up up there for a little bit or pretty busy with a lot of activity.”

“Yes. So that's going to lead me to one of my questions I have. Where do they park? You know, in the lot there.”

“So let's just carry on with concerns I have overall on this one as it sits. I asked staff to give us a copy of the putt itself, which everybody here tonight received a copy of it. And one of the main reasons I wanted to see this particularly is because I wanted to see how the original PUD proposed the parking and how each building was gonna be serviced by that. A couple of the big differences, you know, we had buildings or one building at the back on this position to the floodplain there, I guess, to the east of this site. I think it was set up at one point for some of the green space on the,…”

“around 15.9 very well and then in in looking at the overall design we're like well let's do apartments and then hey we should get some room left let's throw three town homes in there um the logic to that one something that i've never seen in 22 years sitting here that you throw three town homes uh in the middle of all apartments um don't like that they could easily be converted back to commercial and commercial um percentage to come up because that was what was desired by this commission at the time that this PUD was approved number two is you've got the commercial and then the commercial…”

“10 sections that we've designed the parking to back into the drive lanes throughout this site on blind corners, blind intersections that I don't see that the travel around this site and the way it's designed and the way that the parking, the building elevations, I think everything looked great, but the parking configuration on this and how you're gonna drive and maneuver this site, I think it's really poorly designed. I mean, we have traffic backing out. I'm happy to show you my plan and show you my concerns on it, but... You know, in the initial plan, too, with where your northern parking…”

“Sam, I have a question for you. Is this, at this point of this project, is this one to where this body has the ability to put a trigger on the commercial versus CO?”

“i just want to make sure that the commercial component uh is done um i'd like to see to see it move forward but i think his parking configuration is laid out right now i've got concerns in regards to this and let me ask you one more question real quick the um the north side parking as you come in off of uh old beckwith road it looks like that entire north section of parking is off property yes it would be shared with that next development that's coming in the age-restricted piece okay you guys got easements and everything in place allowing that to happen okay was that necessary to get in…”

“So you saw my concerns with some of the parking there. Couldn't lose enough parking to address all of those concerns that I shared with you. To me, it would cause you to lose that one right there, 3, 4, maybe 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. We would definitely be under-parked. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. Roughly around 20 parking places is what it would lose. Do you have any suggestions for that reconfiguration?”

“Yeah. Todd, you're a traffic engineer. I know it's not a public road.”

“Make a couple of notes here real quick to make sure it's included in here. It's just some additional crosswalk striping. I'd like to see crosswalk striping at the sidewalk section. As you come in the north entrance, first parking lot to your right, you got sidewalk to sidewalk, no crosswalk, and that's adjacent to one of your main entrances. So just crosswalk striping there as seen in other places on the the development same thing in regards come through the roundabout on the east side there adjacent to the clubhouse building building 100 apartment slash clubhouse come through the roundabout…”

“i'm just very wary of the situation i agree with you 100 and i would like to see a playground in that just north of the pool there it's a perfect spot for it sam we'll come back to you real quick does this body at this point in time on this submittal uh this being a site plan request do we have the ability to uh to request to make changes to this Or do we have the ability to turn it down?”

“I got to be honest with you. yeah without the dumpsters without the mail kiosk the three townhomes give me a ton of heartburn our traffic engineer is good with the uh with the parking but i mean it just you could have that mail kiosk on there with those three townhomes i know that's not going to be equitable i personally think that that should review the staff comments”

“there's been very little site planning changes since fmdb no that doesn't change a poor design and it's a poor design it's poorly thought out poorly laid out it might be in compliance but there's just zero consideration to people that are going to live here i mean i just don't see how you can stand there and say that there's not i mean there's just it's in compliance we can say that uh outside of that it's no vision i mean i could keep on with adjectives but and if i may mention please what happens when you don't have”

“please if anybody else has any additional discussion feel free and have it i'm reading some stuff personally over here i do have one more question please what if the postmaster doesn't approve this mail kiosk being located internally in building 100 i wouldn't i mean the postmaster”

“and here's my concern and this is based upon staff's comment as well um if we were to say hey you can get with staff to resolve some of these issues and move forward the fact that staff has already indicated that they've requested several things of you in their meetings and you have had zero willingness to work with staff in order to hear their concerns in regards to the site but yet continue to press the site forward is of concern in itself. So how can I put that back upon staff to say, hey, this body feels like many more than two dumpsters. This body feels like the mail kiosk is here. When…”

“john do you believe that the issues that you've heard from us here tonight if we were to make those conditions of approval that this would be able to be worked through uh by yourself and additional staff at the city and dumpsters i think that's about it”

“mail kiosk access and parking to the kiosk so yeah yeah Anybody like to dare to craft a motion in regards to this? I'll make a motion to approve subject to the additional following conditions one is the addition of a crosswalk and I will provide my drawing to staff that I have here indicating these points in addition of the crosswalk at the north northwest sidewalk connection as you come in off the north side. Crosswalk again from the commercial to the parking lot. I'm going to include in that crosswalk section the extension of the sidewalk up to Old Beckwith Road. um a additional make sure…”
