All right, we are green. I don't I don't have a gavel, but uh I will uh call this meeting to order. Uh can we call roll? David Lester is absent. Sean Simpson. Here. Servine is absent. Sideram Kapaka. Blackford. Here. Sean Greer. Here. Greg Spiers. Here. All right. Pledge allegiance real quick. Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. To the report for which it stands one nation under God. Indivisible with liberty and justice. Thank you. The planning and zoning commission is an advisory board to city council with zoning map amendments, preliminary and final development plans and platting of property under consideration. In such cases, City Council will receive recommendations from the Commission. In other cases, the Commission has the decision making responsibility. If there is anybody in the audience who has something that they wish to speak on that is not on the agenda, please come forward. And if so, read your address and your name. Seeing none, we move to approval minutes. If I can get a motion to approve the minutes if we don't have any amendments. I'll motion to bring it. Can I get a second? Everyone in favor of approving the minutes, say aye. Anyone not in favor? There we go. All right, items for review. Um do you want me to bring up should I bring up the uh zone first, zoning first? To see if we want to postpone that or we can just do that. We'll keep it in order then. Um first item is Mount Carmel case 2026, 13 AFDP at 10330, Salmo Parkway. It is an amendment to the final development plan. Um it's a request for review for revised site plan with engineering with enhanced wayfinding for the medical facility on the west side of Solmo Parkway, north of the intersection on Northampton Drive. Who wants to who wants to go with us here? I will go with it. Thank you so much for the uh introduction. Um looked excited, that's why I didn't know uh the Mount Carmel staff and their uh sign contractor contacted us uh a few months ago to um work on enhanced wayfinding as we have stated in that introduction. And um this is one of those uniquely zoned sites that has uh retained township zoning, even though it was annexed into the city of Powell. So the allowance is for the Planning and Zoning Commission to be the final decider on this particular application as opposed to having a um recommendation to city council. So we are asking for a decision as part of um this review of this case tonight. And they have staff here as well, so if you have any specific questions, um should they able to help with that as well. So uh real quick, the um Carmel site was annexed as part of um the Wedgewood commercial plant district from uh Liberty Township, which includes also the target and that newer development that is under construction right now, as well as those out parcels, and as you can see on the northern portion of the site, there is um additional space for development. Mount Carmel owns that entire parcel. We have as part of the um publication of the agenda and our notices that we sent out to adjacent property owners.
