I abstain. McSweeney. I think. Aye. That motion carries. Before we start, I would like to note for you that items number 10 through 16 in regards to Spruce Hollow will not be heard today. They have asked for a continuance to the December meeting. So if you are here to uh on those items, they will not be heard today. Uh and will continue to the December meeting. The first item on our agenda today is a hearing on rezoning number 2018-16 lot three for the abood edition. This is an application submitted by Brungaard Engineering for Benwick Ben Wager LLC, which is Heartland Motor Sports to rezone from District 2 C2 commercial community commercial district. Uh two district C2 PD, community commercial district plan development overlay district for property described as lot three, the boot addition in addition to the city of Kearney. The property is located at 1000 East First Street. Morning, Commissioner Dark. I'm here today to talk to you a little bit about this uh lot three of the Abu edition. Uh Hard Lane Motorsports is looking to relocate off of set off of East Highway 30 out to this facility out here. And with where they're relocating, it's just a little over four acres, so it's a it's it's currently zoned as a C2 zone, but because of the codes, it's a little over four acres. We have to rezone it to a C2PD plan development. So we'll present to you today the request to rezone this lot from C2 to C2PD, and then to also show you the plan development and what they want to do with this facility. So as Mr. Dark stated, we're currently located on East First Street. Uh we are the southeast corner of the Abud development here to the east of uh to the east of us is Ag the First Land. There's a uh commercial developed lake over to the east of us, to the north is a residential lot, and then another C2 zone lot is to the west of us. Currently, as you see the current existing zoning map, once again to the north of us is the residential lot, the driveway down the middle there for the lot, and we'll talk about that here in a minute with Colette about uh landscaping features here. But then we have C2, C2, and then Agrifer. And obviously, because it's over four acres, we're asking to make this a plan development. So what we're looking at here is the actual site, and so yes, this piece of ground right here is residential, and by the code, we're supposed to have a landscape buffer along that. But I'm talking with the city, and Colette will probably address this a little bit better. This is just a driveway. And so we made the suggested to this. Um we'll put the the buffer zone, the 20-foot buffer zone between the lot and the residence to the back, but we won't put that driveway, we won't enclose that driveway with with landscaping with the buffer zone. I think if you think about snow removal and everything else, we could create some problems for their drifting if we were to put that culture build up along the edge here. Uh the site itself, they're looking at right now. Motorsports is looking to only put in a 10,500 square foot building down in the southeast, southwest corner of the lot. Turnaround lane for their vehicles to come in, peel off for their their trucks and everything else, and then closed surface, uh hard surface fenced area in the back. The rest of it's gonna be the way it is. It's gonna stay as an open lot. They're not going to be using it for a track so they can test drive their four-wheelers.
