0:00 Okay, well then good.
0:01 I think we'll call to order.
0:04 Or whatever we're supposed to do for this.
0:06 So Trevor help me out.
0:11 Yeah, what else do I have to do?
0:14 Can we do roll call for that one?
0:16 Give me a script for this.
0:21 Communication start with three.
0:23 Well, yeah, so I'll start with communications.
0:27 I appreciate those that are here.
0:28 And Amanda, I think who's online.
0:30 And if you are able to be visible, great.
0:34 Thank you all for that because I know that's part of our discussion last week of just having more involvement.
0:39 And if you can't be here in person, I get it.
0:41 And maybe just you make sure you're on camera when you're not.
0:44 With that in mind, I think that the joint meeting last night was last night.
0:51 It just felt like yesterday.
0:52 Joint meeting last week was really um was really great.
0:55 And I'd love any other feedback.
0:58 I think we had some good takeaways, but you know, the role that we play is very crucial and seen as very consequential by council.
1:04 So yes, I just appreciate everyone's time and attention at that.
1:09 Um I think I was gonna continue to work with Dan and Kevin on updates to rules and procedures.
1:18 Uminations and interview process.
1:21 So Blancha is working with council liaisons to schedule interviews for planning commission candidates.
1:27 So hopefully those will be happening in May.
1:29 And Kevin, maybe we may have more information on that.
1:32 Um with that in mind too, I'm gonna suggest that we move our annual meeting, which is in our rules and procedures um in June, scheduled to be or or proposed to be in our rules to from June to later in the summer, maybe August or September.
1:49 And so Trevor, I don't know if we need to take a formal action on that, or if we can just schedule it when we schedule it.
1:57 You can schedule it when you schedule it.
1:59 The rules um say that June is the June is basically the default, but the chair and the board can uh reschedule it.
2:07 So if you would like to reschedule it to different months, we can do so.
2:10 And do we need to take a formal action like at our formal meeting next week?
2:15 Uh, um, it would hurt to announce it at one point, but uh you don't need to take a formal.
2:19 So should I do should I announce it in June that we are going to propose moving?
2:25 I just think that with all of the um shifting of our body at this point that it just doesn't make sense to try to have an annual meeting and we're about to add potentially you know a new void voting member and several alternates um after this interview process.
2:42 So I just prefer to do a quick quick update on the uh there's been over 30 applicants for the positions.
2:50 Uh the liaisons are working their way through the resumes to call that down to a number that we can interview.
2:59 But there's certainly not anything scheduled in the short term, and so they probably won't at the earliest they would get to nominations by um their first meeting in June, and then they're not having a second meeting in June.
3:13 So that would if they miss that, they will end up at the later meeting in July, which would put us into August for anyone.
3:22 Okay, okay, which I think also again just reinforces that doing an annual meeting when we don't have a full body doesn't feel like um and that may be one of the things in the rules that I meant to that, you know, two weeks ago, whatever it was, but I think maybe we just change that date.
3:37 But we'll see when we get there.
3:39 Um and then the other thing that I wanted to talk about was boards or I mean um yeah, other boards and commissions, Jen and Shiva, you both are on other things.
3:52 I do really need someone to take over the UDC scrub committee.
3:56 Jen, I know I asked you I didn't hear.
3:57 I would love to accept that I have a conflicting meeting everywhere.
4:02 Is there anyone else like Dave or Ryan?
4:06 Since you're not on something else, um Andrew's got to term off.
4:10 And if that if it's not possible, then again, I think that's something else we can potentially wait until we get more members seated in or Rich.
4:18 Um, or wait until we get more members seated and then see.
4:22 But we it it I think it is important that we have someone from planning on the UDC scrub.
4:28 What day of the week is that?
4:29 We meet the first Monday of every month at 10 a.m.
4:34 Which is when I host my staff meeting in the office.
4:37 And I can't I can't give that up.
4:42 One Monday a month, and then there's a little bit of homework as far as like reading through the materials.
4:47 Because basically, right, we had adopted the UDC three years ago, um, from chapter seven code to UDC.
4:56 And so they're now going through, as you saw, um, Sheila was here last month, um, going through there's grammatical things, there's inconsistencies in the code, so just scrubbing through and making those changes in a methodical way.
5:08 So if you like to read the code, or if you want to learn more about the code.
5:12 Well, I don't I would be delighted to do that Monday.
5:14 I do have a conflict on Monday, but one Monday a month is the first Monday of the month.
5:20 So double check that.
5:21 Okay, they're all the same for me.
5:22 And I think most all of our meetings are virtual, so you don't have to come downtown.
5:28 So they meet virtually on Teams.
5:29 See, Colin and your jammy.
5:31 Typical of two hours, three hours.
5:34 No, it's it's like maybe hour.
5:40 That feels so great.
5:41 Monday and Thursday's book.
5:43 But I have to say, expect any English corrections.
5:46 You're not going to make it up.
5:49 I think I think it's more just getting a sense from a wide body.
5:52 They have industry folks, right?
5:54 They have city, they've got planning commission, they've got other experts.
5:58 So there's a wide variety of people who are looking at it.
6:00 So there's different perspectives.
6:04 Okay, and then finally um working on updates to the rules and procedures as we talked about last week, and then more training and education.
6:11 So I know I perceive.
6:14 Before you leave boards, are we covered on uh downtown?
6:17 Are you keeping downtown?
6:19 So uh downtown review board, DRB.
6:22 Um, I'm gonna keep that position until we get our body reassembled and more voting members, etc.
6:32 And then look to see who and where might be a good fit.
6:36 So, so that one is a TBD.
6:40 Um any other questions on board rules?
6:43 And I don't want to overburn folks, which is why I'm not like if you're on something already, I'm not gonna ask you to be on two things or three things.
6:50 Even though I somehow got on two or three things.
6:52 Um, and Andrea's leaving, so she can't be on anything.
6:55 I'm not still on annex COS.
6:59 Do you need to hand that off to someone?
7:01 Are we gonna finish it?
7:06 So we do need to have one of the ones.
7:09 I didn't say when we were gonna go on to the program, but is there still a regular meeting cadence for that?
7:14 Uh, we're back on review cycles.
7:17 So how frequently I get an email and can go.
7:24 We're we're in our third stakeholder meeting now this week or next week, and then we'll have some updates and then we'll do one more, and then we'll probably be bringing this to you in July.
7:35 Yeah, it'll be done before September.
7:37 So do you want to just pull like I may continue?
7:39 Yeah, there's like I don't think a couple beats.
7:42 Anyone wants to step in at the 11th hour?
7:47 We'll leave that at the end.
7:49 Um training and education.
7:51 I know we talked about that last week, and I've had a couple conversations with Dan and Kevin.
7:55 I know um I've received a couple of emails with suggestions of training topics, but if you all could send me or just tell me, um let me know if there's things that you really want to have training on.
8:07 And then Trevor, for you, in the future, if we put a training topic in our work session agenda, do we always have to notify and um whatever the terms are?
8:22 Notify what that training is, or can it just be a standing thing that the topics shift?
8:26 Does it depend on who or what it is?
8:29 Depends on a little bit on who and what it is.
8:31 You want to have enough information in the agenda that someone from the public knows what it is or has a general idea.
8:38 So if you say general, if you keep it general enough, like planning on um UGC interpretations and things like that, it's probably okay, but if uh but you want to keep it in that in that description.
8:53 So if we put traffic fire, some of those bigger ones, we may not have to say it's Todd Frisbee, but it's someone from traffic is coming, and if it's you don't have to name specific people, then it can just be anyone from the staff updating on this, but we need to have what the topic is it can't just say monthly training, yeah.
9:11 Oh, it'd be better than I have a little bit more.
9:12 You can't say stuff, things and staff stuff or traffic stuff.
9:17 Well, I have fire traffic and X US, uh, economic impact, tax base, et cetera, code overview, understand the tables.
9:25 So we have a handful of things already.
9:26 But those are great topics.
9:28 Well, we'll keep um collecting topics.
9:28 You throw our yearly ethics training and then.
9:29 And it's been a while since we've had, and maybe that's really timely.
9:47 I know Max and Jen from the public relations media people.
9:54 They did a PR in media training a while ago.
9:58 That might be a good one to add back.
10:00 So if you get asked a question by the media, will you say?
10:03 Should be no comment talk to Kevin Walker there.
10:06 With that, I think I'm finally done, Kevin.
10:10 Wait, was there a question?
10:11 No, it's good issue.
10:13 I was thinking about that the other day.
10:14 The media comes up and says, what do you think?
10:17 I also think once we cycle, I mean, once you know we can.
10:22 No, um, we'll have had all but you and me will be the only will not have received the how does the URA stuff work.
10:29 Oh sure, yeah, URA is a great one.
10:31 Yeah, urban renewal authority.
10:33 Yeah, that's that's a great one.
10:38 I have several things to catch us up on uh to I do also think that the meeting last week was very productive, but ideas, and we've got a lot.
10:51 Um, so we came up with some ideas and things to think about.
10:56 We're waiting anxiously for you guys to come up with some ideas.
10:59 Also, we'll we'll kind of get that cadence going a little bit.
11:03 Um one of the things we work we showed Nadine yesterday was a little bit about how we get items, how they get from ideas to uh you know the write-ups, and that might be helpful for you all to understand sort of how the how our system works and sort of how we track them and how we plan for them, how we deal with them.
11:24 And speaking of planning for them, we have an item uh that is on a fast track um for a variety of reasons, uh, but we may need to have a special meeting uh for a couple of reasons.
11:39 One, the sheer number of people who are probably going to be interested in this item.
11:45 Um, and so the venue might need to change a little bit, and certainly the amount of time and the timing of that meeting.
11:54 Uh, and this has to do with the data center uh development plan.
11:58 So we're working our way through all of that right now.
12:02 So we're looking at, and I I think we sent out a notice to you.
12:05 Look like June 23rd was going to be a good day for that, but that's not a good day for getting it to the city council in the time that is necessary.
12:16 So we're dealing with maybe moving that meeting or maybe your meeting or trying to figure out quite how to do that.
12:23 So that's still a little bit in flux.
12:25 So we appreciate your patience as we try to work our way through that.
12:28 And how soon do you think you'll have some um just because I know with end of school, memorial day, June travel for folks.
12:36 How soon can we anticipate?
12:38 I know you're dealing with like 17 million calendars probably.
12:42 You have about five minutes.
12:47 I will be leaving here to go discuss that with a variety of different people on the sixth floor.
12:52 So um I'll know more maybe by the time we get to the end of this, but um uh but it's it's kind of have to be in a June sort of time frame.
13:04 It could potentially push to July, but um it's gonna be a it's gonna be an extraordinary effort and extraordinary meeting.
13:13 So I think that we need to figure out how to do that, yeah.
13:17 So maybe late May, but most likely early June.
13:21 That the meeting time frame.
13:23 No, it won't be, it'll be late June.
13:26 June at the earliest, okay, if not later in early July.
13:32 Um, so that's uh one thing.
13:34 Um speaking of Annex COS, where we are now through two of the three stakeholder meetings, had some input.
13:43 Um, we have a draft of that, making some changes to that, some additions to that, and then we will be planning on bringing that to you, uh, probably in the July.
13:53 That's your July meeting.
13:55 So that's our that's our time frame for that at the moment.
13:58 Uh the Southeast Strong plan was presented to City Council uh two weeks ago or 10 days ago or so, and uh was received fairly well.
14:10 Um I think they are scheduled to take that up on work session and their first meeting in July, and so that has proceeded somewhat less bumbly than it had before, and so we will be moving forward with that a little bit.
14:24 Um, south is strong.
14:27 Is that the strong?
14:29 Okay, and they're taking it in a work session.
14:31 Yes, okay, to make edits.
14:35 It's just their process.
14:37 I do a for controversial or difficult issues, they do uh lunch meeting and then they do a work session meeting, and then they it's kind of a markup session and then they do a formal meeting.
14:48 Thank you for clarifying, yeah.
14:50 And probably be the same sort of process with NX COS.
14:54 So it's a similar piece, it's a piece of the uh implementation piece of the plan COS.
15:00 So it's kind of a follow the same sort of process.
15:06 Well, I think that's kind of it for me.
15:09 Do you have any ideas?
15:11 Uh you know, anything you want to ask me about or help clarify, please give me a call about this training stuff.
15:17 Um we're excited about the hoping to move that along.
15:21 So two quick things for me.
15:25 Um item 10A right now.
15:27 We have elections of the vice chair.
15:29 Oh, so it's hoping we could actually move it to towards the beginning of the meeting, uh like item three or four, just so that you have a vice chair appointed for the meeting.
15:37 Um, and that way if something if you had to run out in the middle of the meeting or something, you have a vice chair can take things over.
15:44 Can I just run out in the middle?
15:48 I think I'll get a copy, I'll be back.
15:51 No, I shouldn't do that.
15:53 But you're right, you're the chair.
15:56 Take your one on our future.
15:58 Uh and then second, um, just to let you all know, uh, I'm going on my honeymoon next Wednesday.
16:04 So uh, so if the meeting lasts afternoon, uh Caitlin is going to take over for me.
16:13 So uh just to give you all a heads up.
16:15 I think you should just run out and then decide.
16:19 Maybe it will congratulations, Travel.
16:22 Oh, we didn't even get you a gift or anything.
16:32 No, I think that's a great idea.
16:33 So if we can make that shift on the agenda, we can do that.
16:38 Um and speaking of that, too.
16:40 I mean, I think I'd had some conversation with again with kind of the flux that our body is in with Kevin and and staff about maybe having an interim um kind of position for vice chair, at least to get us through until we have an annual meeting.
16:53 So um that's likely the direction I'm gonna recommend.
16:56 Just because I feel like we've got a lot of shifting coming to our body, and I want to just um get us through this kind of hump of the next couple months before we really make some solid decisions on what will be for the next year, and again, which is why I don't like the June annual meeting that I've just puts the cart before the horse as far as uh our membership, so um, but yeah, I think we can move that.
17:21 I think because someone else is gonna make the agenda set out.
17:24 Um, then we'll have approval of minutes, and I know sometimes I'm not the best at reading the minutes, but when I do read them, I sometimes find erosion missions or changes, and I know we've um changed our process a little bit recently.
17:40 So make sure you are reading the minutes just to um you know see if that's capturing kind of what you remember saying or asking um with the way that those look.
17:49 So and then yeah, um on to consent calendar, I believe.
17:54 Austin Bluffs pump station.
18:03 Well, we're gonna start off easy.
18:05 Um the Austin Bluffs pump station is a simple zone map amendment statement.
18:12 This is a request to fix a split zone issue with two city owned parcels.
18:19 Um this site is located just northeast of UCCS.
18:24 It contains about 5.24 acres.
18:27 The address is 4625 Steam Road.
18:30 Uh there has been a water tank on site since about the 1960s or so, and the city is looking at decommissioning that facility in order to rebuild a new one.
18:41 Uh this is the water tank.
18:44 They're planning to put one right here instead.
18:47 Um, there's a separate development plan and subdivision flat, and that's kind of where staff identified the split zone issue.
18:54 So this is a simple correction of the zoning for the sites.
18:59 Uh currently is a mix.
19:01 The one vertical is residential estate with public facilities and hillside overlay, and the other is public facilities, PDZ and hillside overlay.
19:10 So with the zone map amendment, it would convert both properties over to public facilities, which is the required zone district for utilities of the scale, and it'll rotate the hillside overlay.
19:23 Uh no comments were received from the community, so everyone is kind of already on board and understands that this site part of the master plan and then the other applications that had public notice already go out, already understand what is going on here.
19:39 Uh and there were no major comments from any of our review agencies as well, because again, they had already seen the development plan and plat when this came.
19:49 Do we expect anyone to flash back to the last water store?
19:58 That's not what we're hearing is a design anything, it's just zoning.
20:02 But we expect for the public to show up or anything.
20:05 I've heard no peeps from anybody.
20:08 I think for like what my mind goes, the more important thing here is once the zone change and then CSU starts into their design process and what have you.
20:18 Can we please impress upon the appropriate staff and connections and RBD and all of that to do it right so that we don't end up back where we were that would be my admonishment to our staff, PPRBD, CSU, get your ducks in a row.
20:39 CSU did have an appropriate public um interface.
20:43 And then it was approved without the design and the iPhone, yeah.
20:49 Just a split zone for this.
20:51 We're all thinking the same thing.
20:57 The development plan.
21:02 No, except by that was it.
21:06 Well, uh, oh, I was like, Alison, you're coming back up again.
21:09 Oh, no, maybe not hold on.
21:12 Oh no, Bill's in the middle there.
21:14 Um next, this is just a conditional use.
21:21 Um it's a conditional use application for a Colorado chronic, Colorado Chronic is a medical marijuana cultivation facility.
21:31 Um, and they are requesting to add uh retail marijuana plants to um the current operation.
21:40 So we're located at 2926 Wood Avenue.
21:45 We are just south of um Billmore by one lot, and then Cascade is um uh two streets to the um east.
21:56 The property is currently zoned um MXM.
22:01 The zoning around this property is clicking.
22:05 It's MXM, it's O R.
22:11 And across the street, we have R5 here, and then we have single family and two family uh zoning.
22:20 Um just to the south of Taylor Street.
22:24 So just like the zoning of the neighborhood in terms of uses the mix of uh commercial and residential.
22:33 Um the uh site area, about 27,300 square feet, and you can just go to the next slide salon.
22:43 Yeah, there is a next slide.
22:46 Um, the building um is as I said, just one lot off of Fillmore.
22:53 It is the building itself is uh 9600 square feet, it's like a 1950s-ish um neighborhood shopping center.
22:59 Um Colorado Chronic occupies um 2600 square feet of the building um right now.
23:11 Um they have been a medical marijuana grow since 2012.
23:16 Um the applicant took over the use in um 2016, and they are now requesting to add retail marijuana because of the changes that the city has made to its marijuana um laws.
23:32 Um so this I guess like the one thing I would emphasize for this application is that they're not expanding the building, they're not expanding their lease area.
23:44 They won't grow any more plants, the plants will just mix in terms of medical and marijuana.
23:52 From the information we've got from the applicant, they're not adding employees.
23:57 Um, so from staff's perspective on this, we really have little change to what has been going on in this location for the last 15 or 14, 14 years.
24:10 Um, there is a condition that staff has added to um the conditional use, which you can see in the staff report, and it really addresses the parking area here.
24:23 So this portion of the parking lot actually encroaches into the um Wood Avenue right away.
24:30 It's probably we know it's been like that for sure since 2002, but it's probably it could date earlier than that.
24:38 Um so the condition is to either restripe it so it doesn't encroach or get a revocable permit from the city, just so we recognize that it it is in that location.
24:49 This application um does have I don't know it has a considerable amount of um public comment.
24:56 So I think it's kind of the typical uh marijuana comment, it attracts the wrong crowd.
25:04 Um, there was some comment on lighting.
25:07 There was one comment um as it related to its proximity to the north of Ada Avenue overlay.
25:14 Um, so those are uh some of the things you'll see in the public comment exhibit to the staff report, and you may hear at the public uh meeting, and the reason that we're asking or have requested this be on new business is because of the of the public comments.
25:31 So rather than it just having someone pull it off, it's just off and we'll present it.
25:37 And um both staff and applicant are there.
25:40 Do you think there'll be a lot of public?
25:43 I think significant.
25:45 There's like four letters in there.
25:46 I don't I don't know.
25:47 Um, I've had plenty of phone calls on this.
25:50 Um, and as you can see, the public notice, or the public comments all date back to 25.
25:57 Um, we just made new public notice, uh, and I've only received one comment, but it's exactly matches one of the previous comments.
26:07 Is it correct to say this is for growing retail marijuana but not retail sales?
26:13 They do not sell, they just grow.
26:15 And as part of the process, if there is a transfer of the retail product to someone to sell it, there is a revenue for the city of some kind, a tax or something that goes with that at the retail level.
26:27 Yeah, but this is not a I thought there was a I thought there was additionally a tax from the grower to the retailer.
26:35 I don't know if that there can be, but I don't think the city institute one.
26:38 I'd have to double check on that.
26:42 Yeah, it comes from conditional use, the transfer it applies to the whole parcel or only the unit and ownership in question.
26:50 In this case, just gonna tie it to the lease.
26:53 So it would not transfer automatically to a next owner or to the rest of the parcel.
27:01 Conditional uses would run with the unit.
27:04 Remember, yeah, yeah.
27:07 So if somebody a new lessy could come in and be a grower, but they couldn't right.
27:12 Colorado Chronic decided to leave, they sold their license to somebody else.
27:18 That person could come in because one of the requirements of the use is that you have to be a property license facility.
27:27 But it couldn't just like become what the entire shopping center becomes or anything without coming back around for more.
27:36 And those are actually, I mean, I'm just rolling.
27:39 I think those are probably good questions next week.
27:41 So I think right a lot of the comments of I don't want this.
27:43 Well, this is actually already there.
27:45 And we've had this way, so many of them show up on consent is that the law change recently right by city council is it can be co-located.
27:52 So nothing's changing about what's happening, they're just dividing their operation into two revenue streams.
27:58 That's when we part of the conversations about it, but people really didn't realize that there's a cultivation actually occurring in this location.
28:08 They probably don't want people to know that they're doing that because people might noticed the job.
28:16 Not even very nervous, yeah, at least from my point.
28:22 That'll have the names too.
28:27 Now you're back again.
28:28 Oh, now you're back.
28:33 Here's the fun one.
28:38 I when I first glanced at our agenda, I was like, oh, it's not going to be very long.
28:41 And then I read and looked, and I was like, oh wait a minute.
28:45 What are we getting for lunch?
28:48 That's a good question.
28:49 Oh, you guys want to always do a great job.
28:57 So this is the Briar Gate Voyager multifamily proposal.
29:01 This application consists of a zone map amendment and a land use plan.
29:06 This is 7.93 acres located at 1625 Springcrest Road.
29:12 This is at the northeast of the intersection of Voyager and Briar Gate, very close to I-25.
29:19 Um, and also looks next to the Classical Academy central location.
29:24 The request is to change from business park with conditions of record and high rise overlay and the Air Force Academy overlay to mixed use medium with Air Force Academy overlay.
29:38 The conditions of record that are currently on the site uh prohibit the height from going above 68 feet.
29:45 Um, so with the high rise overlay, they're at some point in time would have likely allowed higher than that, and the current zoning then kind of caps it back down.
29:56 Um, so that is the current zoning uh salon.
30:00 If we could go to the next um currently, with the site being BP, it has some other BP in the area.
30:09 This is a tension pond that's going by the city, so there's nothing actually there, and then there's some commercial buildings over in the area.
30:17 The transition to MXM would be largely compatible with the development to the south.
30:22 So you got the promenade, um, a bunch of other commercial developing along prior gate.
30:28 There's the research parkway, all of the commercial and office spaces there.
30:33 There's other multifamily units in that area.
30:36 However, there's been significant concern about the compatibility when you look more to the north and northeast.
30:43 Um, as you can see, there's some single family estate style homes in this area, and then further north is a bunch of county enclaves.
30:52 So they're very large properties, single family low intensity, and then also O'Tarrow Avenue here is a county road.
31:02 So it is not built to the same standards that we have in the city.
31:06 Um, so needless to say, there was a lot of engagement with this project.
31:11 Um, if you've opened yeah, what is that green parcel to the north north?
31:17 This you might remember from a couple months ago.
31:19 Austin brought that one in.
31:22 That was the church Academy Christian Church.
31:26 So, yeah, so Briar Gate Church isn't.
31:29 Yeah, I don't remember the name, but right.
31:31 We approved the rezone for the commercial.
31:34 Sure, I think it's um MXM.
31:37 I just can't read what call it.
31:38 What is the color say MXM?
31:40 So it said A for agriculture currently, but it was the map's just not up to date on it.
31:46 So we okay that was recently rezoned.
31:48 It is MXM though, right?
31:50 I don't think it ever went to city council.
31:52 It did not move to city council.
31:54 You all actually voted to disapprove it.
31:58 Okay, um, and really so the applicant has is reevaluating whether to move forward under that current uh recommendation from this body or to pivot to a different level.
32:10 So I think I voted in favor of it and I was outmembered, so that's why I think it was approved.
32:16 So it is A, it is agricultural because it did never go forward.
32:20 Um I checked in with Austin a couple times.
32:22 It sounds like there hasn't been much progress on that.
32:26 So that kind of competing factor um doesn't seem to be at play too much currently.
32:32 So that's just something to keep in mind.
32:34 It seemed like some of the comments on that one were actually comments that were somewhat related to this.
32:39 And so I think from a public standpoint, there was there's been confusion about all this stuff that's happening.
32:43 There's obviously a lot going on.
32:45 They came in really close at the time.
32:48 So I think, you know, especially with some of the early comments I received on this project.
32:52 I think a lot of them kind of started to intermix because it was around the time the other site was kind of gearing out over here.
33:00 So yeah, you might see some kind of you know, commingling of comments, but to the same kind of effect that they're concerned about traffic, they're concerned about school safety, they're concerned about impacts to the neighborhood and things like that.
33:16 Um so there were a significant amount of public comments received early in the review process.
33:22 We did hold a neighborhood meeting, so it was very well attended.
33:25 We had a 70 folks come out that um and had a grand time talking to all those folks and hearing about their concerns.
33:36 Um, and since then we've had continued engagement.
33:40 Um, so this is a group of very organized, um, very motivated uh neighbors and parents specifically um who have continued um every time I've reached up to say hey, a new new package has come in.
33:56 I've gotten more and more emails, and I do have a couple I still owe you guys in my inbox right now.
34:02 There's also been an online petition.
34:04 There's about a thousand signatures.
34:06 How many of them actually were from the springs or from this area?
34:10 I can't say, um, but that is another kind of piece of information to be aware of.
34:15 Um, and I would expect a significant amount of folks coming for this.
34:21 Um, it happens to also be a teacher work day next Wednesday, so we might also be getting some children coming in with us.
34:30 So, just a little specifics lesson.
34:39 They have decided to stay out of it.
34:41 Um they are working with the city separately on trying to figure out some of the traffic issues that are part of this equation.
34:48 Um Classical Academy does not have busing, right?
34:51 Yeah, I so the uh parent drop-off time um and pickup is a lot of the issue with this project.
35:01 Um, so they are separately working on coming up with better strategies, but um similarly the the neighborhood and the parents are still concerned about, you know, other aspects of the development plan or the or the person who's gonna develop it give us an indication how like dwelling units will be inside that area.
35:24 I think that will probably be in their presentation.
35:27 So let's hold that.
35:29 I'm sure that I'm sure that'll be in their presentation.
35:31 It'll be in their presentation.
35:33 It would be interesting to see either from the city or from the presenters, how they would think people will transition to I-25 for that location.
35:43 Yeah, that they plan on coming in with some info on they have their traffic report, also in the packet.
35:49 Um, I've already invited Todd Frisbee, so he'll be there as well.
35:53 And there is planned to be 236 units, 236 units as of the land use plans.
36:00 Of course, that's not necessarily binding, um, but that's kind of what they anticipate being able to achieve on the site, what they're kind of aiming for.
36:10 So when they get to develop a plan, you know, we might have to flush that out further.
36:16 Um the other things I kind of wanted to bring up.
36:20 The city is requiring quite a few improvements related to the project to make sure that um basic safety uh traffic standards are met and um other livability quality of life standards are being met.
36:29 So those include restriping existing acceleration deceleration lane, northbound to comic right turn onto spring crest, uh striping the eastbound right turn lane to allow full movement off of uh Spring Crest, so going on to Voyager, and then also continued coordination with CDOT.
36:51 They had quite a few questions about how the traffic from this site could influence the intersection at uh Briargate and Voyager.
37:01 So they will be required to do further studies if this application is approved.
37:07 It will be providing nine feet of ride away on the north part of the property to allow for um new sidewalks and also just more room for the right-of-way, and then they are also being required to build the skyline regional trail connection that goes through the property, and that would be on the west side.
37:27 So those are some of the things that the developer would be required to do as part of the application.
37:32 Um, but of course, everything at this point is conceptual in the land use plan.
37:38 Sounds like a good one.
37:42 That's essentially the overview.
37:46 And then what's the green is all agricultural?
37:52 And then everything that isn't colored in is county.
37:59 There's a river that goes through there that's saved for um the water, is it not?
38:06 I mean, it's saved as a park kind of river situation.
38:10 This one here, yeah.
38:12 This is the golf course.
38:13 I think it's the Pine Creek Golf course, and then it kind of trickles down into this detention area here.
38:18 So I don't think that extends.
38:20 It's Kettle Creek, not Pine Creek.
38:21 Yeah, that's what I was saying.
38:22 It's a braid of Kettle Creek.
38:24 It doesn't actually go on that.
38:31 No, it's a fairly fat, flat piece of land if you've been out there.
38:36 Um, I drive by it a lot.
38:38 So I get a peek at it occasionally, but right now it's just full of you know, weeds and pellgrass.
38:46 Um, the city's actually been using it as a staging area to do work on the detention plans.
38:51 So that's kind of freaked out a couple of residents saying, Oh, they're already doing stuff, but they're just using it for staging at the moment.
39:00 Do we think we need police or not?
39:03 There's comments about police are probably the most drastic problem.
39:06 So I would say I did also invite police and fire.
39:09 Okay, sounds important.
39:10 But if there's anyone besides those three you would like, I can reach out.
39:14 Were there any other like organized public comment like groups that presented even at your public meeting?
39:19 Um, so at the public meeting, it was just the applicants and the developer who presented.
39:26 Um, there was a variety of folks who were there who who spoke up, but there was no organized group.
39:34 I think some of the um parents and guardians of GCA have kind of formed little groups and are kind of acting, I see kind of acting to to coordinate with me, but then also to to relay information to other parents and gardeners who might be interested in getting involved, but um, but you don't anticipate that they will be organized to put together a presentation and want to see time and have a slide.
40:00 I did get somebody asking about seeding time, and I told them you know to let us know who and how many and all of that as quickly as possible.
40:08 And I haven't heard anything since then.
40:11 And yeah, uh maybe we can um press upon them again at the end of this week if that's the case, so that we don't run into what we ran into last month, where we have someone literally the day of giving us their PowerPoint, which you know, we can our team is excellent and can move quickly, but it's not respectful, right?
40:31 If we don't know if we know that in advance, it's more respectful of the process and they get a little bit more coordination from absolutely.
40:39 I'll try to remember who it was.
40:41 Yeah, yeah, impressed upon them that right I need it now, yeah, or it's not happening, yeah.
40:46 Um, do you like a deadline for when that might happen if we're gonna start?
40:52 They've got attachments and PowerPoints and things like that.
40:55 I mean, if we can get it no later than 24 hours prior, that'd be helpful on Monday but we can see here Hitler if you as far as seating time is 24 hours okay as long as we let you know sure yeah I think for larger groups right I think that's been kind of consistent and I think based you know even on our conversation two weeks ago with yeah council even like the day of if they're in the room and they see their time will allow that but if it's a organized presentation with slides I'd like yeah they can do it no no yeah 24 hours in advance would be helpful for stuff 15 minute limit though correct up to five people 15 minutes one speaker then for seating time that's what I thought okay yeah I'll check in with them and I will also get um the other public comments over to you guys and what this is all market rate have yes yeah this is all market rate and Alison for the public meeting that you had no one else was there except for the developer just public in general there was no other city officials I don't believe so I think I extended an invitation particularly to traffic and they did not show um so it's just the city and the city was just there to answer any process related questions.
42:10 They did ask why city council and planning commission weren't there and I had to be like no they're not allowed to be here right not recommended okay all right well I think that's our last our last item um Kevin is not back and maybe his computer's still here so maybe he'll come back um Dan did you have anything else kind of good of our order okay does anyone else have any other questions comments training topics discussion okay
