“Let me make sure I'm right on this too, Joe. You guys will... you're 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-line 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 is that Yeah, it's kind of what I'm asking.”

“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 on”

“Do you want to, I guess, speak to Commissioner Armstead's question on the mail kiosk?”
Planning Commission · Aug 20, 2026
- Play at 48:56
“Yes. So that's going to lead me to one of my questions I have. Where do they park? In the lot there. So no dedicated parking for the mail kiosk? It's not dedicated now.”

“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 PUD 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 and how each building was going to be serviced by that. A couple of the big differences. 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 pub was approved number two is you've got the commercial and then the commercial…”

“I would love to show it to you. Okay. and those are just it it gives me the feel your project as a whole i like and your elevations are like and everything that i like but i feel like we struggled to get this many units in compliance with our parking requirements and so we've put parking places in places that in areas that i don't feel are well designed or safe And that's my only struggle with this project is we have before us right here, really. and and that's just where my my comments are with it i'd like to see it develop it does appear to be now that i got to see this tonight as i came up…”

“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 is done 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 the north side parking as you come in off of Old Beckwith Road. It looks like that entire north section of parking is off property.”

“Okay. You guys got easements and everything in place allowing that to happen? Okay. Was that necessary to get in compliance with our parking places? Yes.”

“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.”

“No, you're my engineer. I'm not. Make a couple of notes here real quick to make sure it's included in here. This is 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've 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... On the development, same thing in regards, come through the roundabout on the east side there adjacent to the clubhouse building, building 100,…”

“Sam, I'm going to come back to you real quick. Does this body at this point in time on this submittal, this being a site plan request, do we have the ability to request and make changes to this? Or do we have the ability to turn it down?”

“I've 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 and adjust accordingly.”
