0:00This evening who are here physically as well as anybody that we might have online, and we do apologize for the slight delay in starting this meeting.
0:10Um, but uh we will begin by uh if you can stand and join me with uh saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
0:19I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and for which it stands and individuality and justice for all okay.
0:38So we'll begin with uh a few introductions, and uh my name is Dave Bromley, and I will be chairing the meeting this evening, and we'll start off uh to my left uh with Lenise.
0:48Lenise Davenport, Jennifer George, Danny Schoenfeld, Ron Mortimer, Steve Wrigley, Cameron Duncan.
0:57Thanks, and then James, if you could introduce staff.
1:00Um I'm James Swans, the community development director.
1:04I think tonight, just in the we have mostly staff here, so I'll just have staff who are here tonight raise their hand.
1:11And they'll be addressing most of the issues with the planning commission tonight.
1:16So appreciate all them being here.
1:21Uh okay, so as we address the items uh on the agenda, um we'll we'll go in this manner.
1:30We'll we'll start uh with a staff introduction and then the project applicant will have the opportunity to provide any presentation as applicable, and then staff will have the opportunity to um uh end the presentation if they so choose as well.
1:46We'll open the items for public comment and um take any that uh uh comments at that time, and if you could limit comment, come up when you if you're here physically uh if you come up to podium and state your name and address, and uh we'd like to limit the comments to two minutes and and uh to comments that are unique, um, so meaning that they're not uh duplicative of what has been said previously, um, and then um uh we will uh after public comment has been completed, we will close public comment and then we'll open it up to the planning commission for deliberation and a motion.
2:22And so we'll begin with the um item number two on the agenda, which is uh amendments to Title 21 of the land development code and uh Melissa, I think yep, you're thanks.
2:38All right, thank you very much.
2:39Good evening, Chair and Planning Commission.
2:44So this evening we have a proposal to amend the code, and uh this would be to allow for more areas in the city to allow for a brew hub.
2:58And uh this slide just shows there's a number of sections of the code that are proposed to be amended, um, our land use matrix for non-residential zones, um, special development districts, um, some standards in our commercial section and definitions.
3:18So to begin, the main uh thing to understand is that this was an initiative that was initiated by our city council to allowing more brew pubs in the city, and the understanding or how we uh interpret what is a a brew pub is that it's intended to be a restaurant with a brewery that sells beer as well as heavy beer for on-site consumption, so it's not um a tavern necessarily or a bar, but it is meant to be um the the brewery with restaurant combination.
4:01So um the other um directives that the city council had was uh specifically in in expanding areas, it would be specifically to expand it beyond just the Cairns district because we do allow for that now in our downtown Cairns district, um, but they also wanted staff to look at regulatory and financial barriers uh to entry to allow them, streamline the permitting and the licensing process, which is in Title 15 for our business licenses, and aligning um our code with Utah code.
4:40So we analyze this and make recommendations addressing all the points that the city council had wanted us to look into, uh, brought that forward to the city council, and they were supportive of the effort, and so they directed us at that time to go ahead and make uh code changes and then just begin through the normal adoption process.
5:06Now, tonight I'm presenting our land development code proposed changes.
5:12This initiative also addresses our business licensing, but we don't need to go through the same review and public hearing process for that.
5:23So when we go to the city council, it will be both Title 15 with our business license administrator as well as myself for addressing land development codes, just so that you know that the context of the process we're going through.
5:37And there were a number of things we look looked into, but tonight, since we're at this stage of this project, we are specifically trying to implement the direction the council gave us and making amendments to the land development code specifically to allow for brew pubs.
6:00So now to do a brew pub in the city, we need two specific alcoholic beverage licenses from the Department of Alcohol Beverage Services at the state agency.
6:18And so they do apply at the city for a license, but then that's coordinated with the state.
6:24So we're not in our land use tables or listing of a land use that would be allowed.
6:30We're not saying it's a brew pub necessarily, but what we're saying is that if you have a manufacturer brewery license and then the restaurant license able to serve alcohol, that would enable one to be able to do a brew pub.
6:48Right now, the manufacturing license is mostly contained just in our downtown Cairns district.
6:58And so just so that you understand, we're not adding a line item that says brew pub, but it we're enabling that through a manufacturing brewery license, and then it also is uh combined, you'd have to have the restaurant license to serve alcohol.
7:16And the important thing about the restaurant license is that it requires, and this is state law, uh, that you have at least 70% of food sales.
7:26So that distinguishes it from a tavern or a bar where you don't have those requirements.
7:32Um it also ensures that they're mostly you know in a in a restaurant uh food sales business.
7:41Uh the other thing that's coming from the state law that uh dictates where these things could go is that there's proximity requirements when you get this type of alcoholic beverage license, and that is you need to be separated from certain community locations such as uh schools, churches, libraries, playgrounds, and public parks.
8:14So that is in existence now, and any time we consider a restaurant license, for example, that would want to serve alcohol, we would check to see the proximity are they might be allowed to do something in the zone, but if they're too close to a church, for example, they would not be able to do that.
8:35So uh this map that was included in the packet for the planning commission illustrates uh like in all the red areas where we have a buffer around these types of community locations, and I'm mostly wanting to show that so you get a sense of the magnitude or impact of the separation requirements.
9:01So it does uh limit where these types of things can go.
9:08Now I think I are I kind of already explained this, but the land use and licensing requirement that a brew pub is enabled by having in the land use matrix a manufacturing brewing license uh brewery license in that zone.
9:26But caveats or notations have been added that this would only be allowed in certain zones if it's on the same premises as a restaurant, because that's the intention of this initiative, and so we're making sure that that's clear.
9:43Umso for uh the brew pubs to allow them in zones where you know we were evaluating well where should they be allowed beyond the downtown Cairns district.
9:57That was the main question, one of the main questions of city council.
10:01And so uh a restaurant that already is allowed in that zone to get a license to serve alcohol.
10:12If that zone already allows that, because a brew pub has very similar operational requirements as the the restaurant, that the proposal is to allow a manufacturing brewery license in those same zones, and if in that zone, this restaurant with uh that's allowed to serve alcohol with a propriet license.
10:39If that's a permitted use, we're proposing uh the brew pub or manufactured brewing license be allowed as a permitted zone, permitted use just like the restaurant, but if it's a conditional use, then we would propose that the manufacturer brewery license is conditional use.
10:57So that's the methodology or logic that's used of why we would propose additional zones to allow these brew pub type activities.
11:10And so in the staff report, I included a list of all the zones, and then in the red line strike through version, you can see specifically all those zones that are impacted or where we're proposing to allow that type of use.
11:26This map illustrates in green those areas where uh this type of land use would be allowed, where brew pub would be allowed in red shows where those proximity requirements are impacting or not allowing that.
11:46So it just gives you a sense of you know how big of an area that might be impacted, and as you can see areas that we're proposing as the neighborhood activity areas along some of our commercial corridors, and in the down um downtown uh cairns area in green, is where brew pubs are proposed to be allowed.
12:12Lastly, there were some uh changes proposed to ensure that our code was in alignment within the city code and also with state code.
12:25So some of the terms and definitions of the Utah Code, we went through those and to make sure there was consistency.
12:33Uh, for example, they used to use the term club for you know, like a dining club or a fraternity club, um, but now it's a bar establishment.
12:46So that type of a thing for consistency was was made.
12:50Um the other thing is in the special development district, the JHS Miller zone, that's at around 9400 South State Street.
13:01That is already in the Cairns district, and yet the land uses that the other zones in the Cairn district didn't include like restaurant that allowed to serve alcohol.
13:16I mean, it had a a couple of temporary alcoholic beverage type licenses allowed, but um what we're proposing is is to make it consistent with the rest of the um kind of mixed-use commercial zones that are in the cairns, and so those changes were made, and lastly in the SDMU or mixed-use zone that's at 7800 South, 1300 east.
13:44There we're removing the non-conformity because there's already an existing restaurant that's licensed to serve alcohol, and it's been there for many years, and so we're adding the restaurant the uh license to serve alcohol as well as the manufacturing brewing license.
14:05So that restaurant would be then conforming if these code amendments were were adopted.
14:13That summarizes the extent of it.
14:16There's a lot of little red lines because there's just a lot of detail, and um, but it's fairly simple, and just the proposal is to allow for brew pubs, which is basically a restaurant with brewery to allow that in more areas beyond just our downtown Cairns district, and uh so we're proposing to allow them in areas that already are allowing a restaurant to get a license to serve alcohol.
14:47So that's uh our recommendation tonight is for the planning commission to review and make a recommendation to city council because code amendments of the final decision will be with the council.
15:00So if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer.
15:06Are there any questions that the commission has?
15:10Okay, well, thank you.
15:12Um so we will uh open this meeting up for any public public comment at this time.
15:18So if there's anybody here that would like to address this issue, if you can come forward to the um whatever that's called.
15:32So uh seeing seeing none, um Mike, is there any are there any individuals online?
15:37If you are joining us via Zoom webinar and would like to speak to this particular item, please use the raise your hand feature now, and we'll address you one at a time.
15:58I'm seeing no hands.
16:00So we'll close this meeting to public comment this time and then uh bring it back to the planning commission for any uh discussion, deliberation motion.
16:09Chair, I'm ready to make that motion.
16:12Um I moved to forward a positive recommendation to the city council to amend Title 21 of the Sandy Municipal Code related to brew pubs based on the analysis and four findings in the staff report.
16:25Do we have a second?
16:27I'll second Lynnie Stavenport, yes.
16:32Cameron Duncan, yes, Ron Mortimer, yes, Danny Schoenfeld, yes, Steve Wrigley, yes, Jennifer George, yes.
16:42This motion carries.
16:46Okay, so we will move to the next agenda item, which is the Alta Canyon Sports Center.
16:53Um review of modified uh site plan.
16:57And uh Doug, looks like you are up.
17:02Yes, yes, thank you.
17:04Doug Wheelwright, I'm the development services manager in the planning division.
17:10So we toured we toured this site tonight on our field trip.
17:15Um also have Dan Medina, our parks director for the city is here.
17:21Uh he's actually the applicant uh on this, so we'll hear from him a bit as well in this uh so the project involves the demolition of the existing building, which is this building right here.
17:36Uh the removal of the tennis courts, we're just to the north, and uh the construction in the place of partially in place of the tennis court and totally in place of the old building is a 34,000 square foot multi-purpose recreation building.
17:55Planning commission will be will be reviewing the building's mass height, architectural design materials, and colors, and you'll also be as part of the site plan the reconfiguration portion of the existing parking lot, and a determination of the number of required parking stalls for the new building.
18:18Uh I'd like to run through the um the exhibits just to help orient everyone.
18:28Uh so this one this is an overlay of the new building on top of the old building.
18:35Here's the old building, and here's the parking lot, or excuse me, tennis court.
18:41And so the building is expanding.
18:45The swimming pool stays in place, and there's some modification to this portion of the parking lot, and a new parking lot between the building and uh 9510 South Street, which is right here.
19:01So let's go to the next one.
19:11So this was the uh site plan that was shown at the uh neighborhood meeting, and what's different about it is this parking lot and this driveway.
19:20So there was some objection from the neighborhood about bringing this new driveway onto 9510 street, uh, that it was too close to the residential neighborhood.
19:32There's a there's an existing home just kidding corner from where this would be.
19:37Um so we heard that and we talked about ways to to fix that.
19:42The reason that that was out there was deemed that we needed two accesses to the parking, that this was a long distance perhaps with um no way to get no more formal turnaround at the end of it.
19:57Let's go to the next one, please.
20:05This shows the the extent of the area that'll be involved in the in the demolition.
20:11So about half the parking lot, the whole building, all of this.
20:18So here's the new site plan.
20:20And you can see that what's happened is we've eliminated this driveway extension and shortened up the parking lot, but expanded it north to south into this area to pick up as many stalls as possible.
20:33Um so the main entrance to the building shifts for where it is now to the northwest.
20:42This is where you'll enter, and there's a drop off lane here.
21:04So there's the new building.
21:06What does it look like?
21:15If we could run through the rest of the mic, then we'll so this is showing the four elevations of the building.
21:24This is this is the north side.
21:28Um this is the west side, I believe.
21:35No, sorry, this is the west side.
21:37This is the north side.
21:41There is a hill that will be built into a bit.
21:46Uh all the architectural materials are uh meet our requirements.
21:50There's no EFA stucco at all on the building.
21:53It's all metal panels and masonry.
21:56Um let's go to the next.
21:58This is the colors, so the glass colors.
22:01Um four different shades of gray, and then the uh subdued red brick.
22:12So that's pretty much it.
22:14I'm we also have a uh a fly through, and maybe uh Dan, if you wouldn't mind coming up to go through that.
22:34I thought that's what I was doing.
22:39Dan of Parks and Recreation Director.
22:42Um I've read the staff report.
22:46I'm in agreement with the staff report.
22:49Um I understand we need to look at the sign package.
22:53Um that's not being approved tonight, but we need to do some things to take care of that part.
22:58Um I feel like the improvements listening to the neighbors really helped that out.
23:03I did get a chance to go around and talk to uh the neighbors yesterday, making sure that they were comfortable with the plans that we presented.
23:11With the five people I talked to, I got good feedback.
23:14So I feel like we're in good shape when we're there.
23:16Um it's been a long time coming.
23:19And um, you know, a history on this back in 2008, we were gonna do an addition to the building, but with the recession, we bailed on that and uh put it off to take care of other needs, and so now we're finally getting back to taking care of the center that needs these updates.
23:36So and then I do have Lois Stellan and uh Nathan.
23:42Uh Lois is our facility manager, and Nathan's with VCBO that are here that can answer questions if you have any.
23:49So run through this fly through.
23:54I'm gonna have Nathan do that because he's better expert at it than I am.
24:02It's yeah, and it's just a video.
24:04I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory, but why don't we do that?
24:07We'll just run the video.
24:08You guys have questions, we'll go back and pay parts of it.
26:05I think it's a great overview of the building.
26:08As you can tell from that video, we do have a lot of glass on the east side.
26:12We're taking advantage of the mountain views and what's going on there.
26:17And the swimming pool, as mentioned earlier, is staying in place.
26:20I know a lot of people were really concerned about the swimming pool going away, or that we are closed because we're giving the swimming pool a new heart, basically.
26:30We're replacing all the mechanicals and updating all that because the boiler's 40 years old.
26:35We kept crossing our fingers, hoping it doesn't go out.
26:38So that's why that's happening, but the swimming pool is staying the same.
26:42We hope to do some um changes to lighting and stuff in the future, but the poll itself was staying the same.
26:50Um with that, I'm glad to answer any questions, or if you want to wait till I have to say some comments, whatever you desire.
26:59That video was super helpful.
27:00It was nice to see Cameron doing a squat or holding that squat for a while.
27:09Uh any questions of Dan or his team.
27:14Just one of the things are you getting rid of the handball courts?
27:17Because those are really well used sometimes in the city.
27:20The handball courts, the rackleball courts.
27:24Yes, those are going away, unfortunately.
27:27So yeah, the amount of space they take and the amount of use that in the 80s, they were the bomb when this place was built, but it's not so much anymore.
27:38I I have a question as well.
27:39Is that video available on the city website or anything if if residents want to see it?
27:44It is available online.
27:46If you Google uh Sandy Community and Recreation Center, it'll take you right to our construction web page.
27:52And it has that video on it.
27:54It has the floor plans and frequently asked questions and information all on the center.
28:01So you just want to show off your squat more.
28:05I I appreciate that in that video beliefs of the doors were all there.
28:10We didn't have one missing.
28:23And we're really trying to focus on ways that we can enhance or emphasize or create opportunities for pedestrians.
28:31So for people to walk or bike to facilities.
29:23That would be great moving forward.
29:26Did you have any particular feedback that uh on that line or no?
29:38All right, Doug, anything else, Sarah?
29:40Yeah, so I'd like to continue.
29:42Um Sandy City administration and city council have previously approved the building reconstruction project, and authorized its design development, construction funding, construction time frame.
29:55And those actions are not a part of this consideration by the planning commission.
30:01So as I mentioned, you're looking at the building, you're setting the parking, and you're uh I would attempt to address the uh concerns from the neighborhood meeting.
30:13So the main neighborhood meeting was held on July 30th.
30:16It was well attended, it was a remote uh online meeting.
30:21Estimated about 25 people participated and went 90 minutes.
30:25Uh summarized the uh what I thought were the five main points that came out of that.
30:31Uh they're listed there on page uh two, and then we'll come back to that.
30:38Then the building architecture, which is a main part of your review here.
30:44Um this design meets our requirement, our Sandy City architectural design requirements.
30:51Um did want to mention it.
30:53I don't know if you noticed there's an indoor track uh that circles those two courts.
30:59One's a basketball, another one's a multi-use uh court.
31:04Um addressing the and so we recommend that you approve the building design or architecture materials.
31:14Uh dealing with the neighborhood comments, um there was a lot of concern that dealt with 9510 South Street and the uh connection at Highland Drive.
31:26Some suggestion that a signal would help left turns.
31:29Our public utilities department has looked at that extensively, and it it is not a possibility to put a signal there, it's too close to uh 9400 south, and then there's another signal a little further south that's the main entrance to the shopping center on the west.
31:46So that situation is beyond the scope of this project.
31:51Um there was a concern about street parking uh on 9510 and extending into the neighborhood.
31:59Uh it turns that that is mainly these uh four events for swimming meets during the summer and possibly a triathlon or running event once or twice a yeah.
32:11Um so um we've developed the public or excuse me, parks department has developed a parking management plan to deal with events, particularly with events, and it involves the formalization of an agreement with UTA to use the UTA park and ride as overflow parking as needed.
32:34Um in addition, the plan talks about how you would how the staff would manage parking during the events, where they would actually have staff in the parking lot during the event uh to help direct people to the overflow parking.
32:50Um tell them that the parking lot's full to park over there, and then they're gonna they're proposing signs, temporary signs that we put up along 9510, directing to the overflow parking, and also at a point that the east east portion of 9510 that no event parking allowed, and those will be put up and taken down just for those events.
33:12Uh so we feel like that's a really good step in addressing the issues that the neighborhood had.
33:18Another big issue was the number of parking stalls, and it was pointed out that we were increasing the building size from 26,513 square feet to 34,000.
33:31You're actually reducing the available parking on site, even with the changes to the parking lot.
33:37We're 12 stalls down from where we are currently.
33:41Um so then we looked at uh well, what what do other communities that have uh facilities like this?
33:49What are what are their ratios?
33:51And and we found it was surveyed, and we found that anywhere from two parking stalls per thousand to six parking stalls per thousand is what's available, but most of them were in the three to four parking stalls per thousand range, and so making this change of expanding the building but decreasing the available parking by 12 stalls.
34:14Um we went from six parking stalls per thousand with the current building to 4.3 parking stalls per thousand with the new building, and uh that is a reduction from current, but um we think we've addressed that with the event parking and the management plan and the overflow parking, and at 4.3, we're still at near the top of what other communities have offered.
34:40Uh so we feel good about that.
34:43Um so we acknowledge the uh the new driveway connection proposal, remove that from the plan.
34:54Um, and then there was concerns about the use of the property to the east over here.
35:00There's about two acres, I think.
35:01It's got residential homes on one side of forget the name of the street.
35:10Um anyway, this street over here has houses on one side and this vacant land that's owned by the city.
35:17That's uh there we go.
35:19So you can see the homes here, and we've got this parcel and this parcel that are undeveloped, and we pointed out that's beyond the scope of this project.
35:32Uh it'll be future decisions by city council and administration on what happens to the rest of that park, and it's beyond our scope.
35:41So staff is recommending that you set the parking requirement for this new building at the available 148 stalls, and uh we recommend that you approve the building architecture and design.
35:54Um that's our the findings and and uh conditions, conditions that I want to point out, or uh that the shared off-site overflow parking agreement with UTA be formalized and recorded with the county recorder's office to address the facilities overflow parking needs, and the proposed special event parking management plan be formally formalized and adopted by the Alder Canyon Sports Center managers for all special events and overflow parking needs, and then the rest are standard conditions.
36:31So, with that, are there any questions of me at this time?
36:37Any questions for Dan?
36:41I do have one question, Dan.
36:43Uh so that parking agreement that uh is in place or is going to be in place.
36:48Um is there a term associated with that agreement at this point in time, like a number of years that it covers, or tell me how that's no.
37:04We're proposing that we work that out during final site plan review.
37:08Um we used UTA's parking lot in the past and have um done agreements with them for events.
37:22Um fact we'll be using our parking lot tomorrow night with the midnight moon run.
37:26Um as far as the term, we haven't worked with UTA on that yet.
37:32We just started uh to uh renew this for like a year term based on the parking use, but we can look at that at the multi-year term if needed.
37:43Uh but it's always gonna depend upon what events we have, what year with what dates.
37:48So that's why we were looking at it as an annual basis to do that.
37:53Yeah, I mean, I I would suggest to get it as long as possible, and then you know you can tie down for the agreement.
38:01I mean, terms of the agreement, you can you can have the actual dates tied down, you know, annually or whatever, but uh I would say it'd be nice to have that term as extensive as an year term to be whatever with options or whatever else.
38:17I mean, just to make sure that the things get covered, it would be my suggestion on that.
38:21Yeah, that makes that makes sense.
38:28Okay, um, so no more questions.
38:31Um, so we'll go ahead and close or sorry, uh, we'll open this up uh to public comments.
38:37If there's anybody here that would like to comment on this, uh, wouldn't you come up uh to the podium and state your name and uh address?
38:46So you can go ahead and walk come up now and then just speak into one of the microphones there.
38:56My name is uh Albert Chen.
38:59I own a house, life cost uh street, right street in the off the new building.
39:06Um can you provide your address for the record, please?
39:099563 candle chilling.
39:16Um I'm here to express my concerns regarding the noise and the safety, both during the construction and uh after construction because you know these recreation building.
39:32If I correct, it's the only building in Sandy which is so close embedded in the residential area.
39:41Um there are recreation center.
39:43I think it's far away, and uh and do you know that uh gene is so popular nowadays?
39:51Everybody go there, and uh I leave the concerns I have specifically two questions.
40:00One is uh what's the next community meeting?
40:02And uh I missed the last one.
40:04I really want to attend the next one.
40:07Second one is the exterior design, the color and the lighting.
40:16I is it going to be uh commented by the public?
40:25So that's my consum.
40:28Thank you very much.
40:37Is there anybody else here that would like to speak?
40:42Okay, seeing none, uh, Mike, if you could check online.
40:45If you are joining us via Zoom webinar and would like to speak to this particular item, please use the raise your hand feature now, and we'll call upon you one at a time.
40:54We do have uh right now we have uh one hand raised.
40:59Uh Miss Kathleen King, you may unmute yourself.
41:06Hey, how are you doing?
41:12Can you state your name and address for the record, please?
41:15Uh it's Kathleen Turner and John Turner, and we're 9521 Candle Tree Lane.
41:24So we're right there on the corner.
41:30We were just curious about during construction.
41:33Is the exit, you know, the entrance and the exit where you show the construction trailer?
41:41Um is that where all the freight's gonna come in?
41:45The materials, the trucks, the cement.
41:48Is that how they're gonna get to the job site?
41:51After public comment, we can answer specific questions.
41:57So just state any questions you have, and then when this is comment is done, we will address comments at that time.
42:05Yeah, my question is is the entrance that's shown, and I appreciate the people that brought the map by last night.
42:15Um, but it shows an entrance with the construction trailer, but it looks like when it's all finished, uh what you showed uh was one entrance, and the the one that showed uh during construction, it looks like it doesn't exist anymore.
42:30So my question is is that the way this is going to be?
42:34In other words, how do the materials get to the job side?
42:38How do the trucks get in and out of the job site?
42:43Okay, is there any other questions?
42:46Uh I just want to make sure you've got the snow load correct on that roof because that's a this area is a little bit different that way as far as the uh the stress on the roofs.
43:06Okay, thank you for comments.
43:08Anything any other hands raised?
43:12Next up, we have uh Mitch Gibson.
43:15You may unmute yourself.
43:25Mitch Gibson, you may go ahead and speak.
43:28State your name and address for the record, Mr.
43:42You can go ahead and speak.
43:44Make sure you're you've unmuted yourself.
43:51He may be having technical difficulties.
43:53He did uh type in um some questions earlier.
43:57Um so I'll read those since he's having technical difficulties.
44:02Um he lives behind Alta Canyon Rec, and he was curious about whether they are keeping or updating the existing playground equipment.
44:12Uh also asked if there are any amenities with this building that are going to offer for families with young kids during seasons that the outdoor pool is closed.
44:22Temple Dell in Cottonwood Heights has lots of these things for toddlers year-round.
44:32Um let's see, I'm not seeing any other hands raised at this time.
44:38Oh, no, sorry, one more hand just popped up.
44:41Um Chong Teng, you may unmute yourself.
44:50Yes, go ahead and state your name and uh address for the record, please.
44:54Yeah, my name is Chong Song.
44:55I'm at uh 9509 Kendo Chile.
45:00Um right across the street.
45:02Um my question is uh you mentioned about the the on your line to the east of the building right uh across the shade off by home.
45:11Um I noticed there is uh a little bit of gradient on that, you know.
45:15If my home is a little bit higher than the uh current out of touch in there, are you going to do anything with that gradient and also the nice keep for the area?
45:26That's my uh question.
45:32Okay, thank you, Mr.
45:33I see no other hands raised.
45:40So we will now close this uh to public comment.
45:42And uh so I guess between uh Doug and Dan, uh if you guys would like to come up and maybe answer uh the questions that have been raised uh during public comment.
45:53Yes, so do you did you document them or do you want how you would just want to start going through them and then if you miss some of them we'll bring it up?
45:59So one I heard was uh was there future public meetings available for additional comment?
46:05The answer to that is no.
46:06The uh planning commission is the approval body for the architecture and the sitting, the parking stall numbers.
46:13Um, and so there'll be no additional public meetings on those matters.
46:20Can I just add to that?
46:21There may be an opportunity, however, and in talking with Dan that if if there are some individual questions that someone wants to reach out to Dan individually on and maybe look at the plan with him, he was mentioning that he'd be very willing to do that with applicants or uh neighbors if they want to see something closer up or something like that.
46:40But like Doug said, this is the public hearing opportunity right here.
46:44And Dan, they can really find your contact info on the website on on this the uh Candy City website, correct?
46:52Mike, would you go to the plan that shows the overlay with the tennis courts and the building?
46:58I think it was number two, please.
47:09That one, thank you.
47:11Um person asked regarding the construction zone.
47:19Um I did go out and canvas the neighborhood, give them my contact information, latent constructions contact information and Lois' information so they know who to contact during construction.
47:32Um as part of that, we are using the field as the staging area from materials.
47:40The reason for that, too, is we plan on fencing off portion of the parking lot during the construction, but we want to keep the other area, the parking open for the ball fields along with the parking that's over by the pickleball courts for the ball fields.
47:57So they do have one entrance that's coming in here that will be a temporary entrance during construction.
48:05Um they will be storing materials over on this end of the site.
48:12They will be parking in this area, and then the construction trailer will be in this corner of that lot, and that's all temporary, so that's just during the construction process.
48:26Dan, does that require grading of that ground or what is there maybe clearing and grubbing just kind of to smooth it out because not really grading though?
48:35But not doing cuts and fills and stuff like that.
48:38No, um sorry, plus my train of thought a little bit.
48:45So that area will be used for that type of uh work to take place during the project, and again it's temporary and it will be surrounded by a six-foot fence with the screen on it to screen that.
49:01Screen that so you're not necessarily looking into similar to what you'll see around the um hockey stadium that's going in with that fence that's around around it.
49:11So that'll be surrounding that site, tying into the fence at the pool, and then coming in over here.
49:17So that whole area will be screened off.
49:20Um, why don't we go to the floor plans?
49:25And I'll just share with you the amenities because that question did come up just to kind of explain a little more what's going on.
49:36But Dan, you're not planning any exterior improvements as far as playgrounds or not at this time.
49:41We're not planning on any exterior improvements with the playgrounds and that.
49:45Now we are looking at that in the future, but that's a completely separate phase from what we're looking at now.
49:50So this is the first floor of the facility.
49:55Um we have is offices here for the staff.
50:00This is the entrance, the vestibule and the front desk area.
50:05Then this is the uh for lack of a better word, I'm gonna call it the aerobics room.
50:11Um it's where they'll do aerobics and um hit classes, those types of things.
50:17And then over here is the receiving dock, the pull equipment storage area, and that we have an area for the lifeguards and a break room for the staff, and then this all this area is the restrooms and the changing areas for the pole.
50:36Um then there's a hallway here for that and a hallway into here.
50:43Then we have one basketball court for multi-purpose type facility where we can put pickleball on that during um the winter, and that too, and uh kids will be able to use that area.
50:57Then in between here, we have a community room that can be used for other um recreation classes, it could be reserved for a party if you want, or community meeting, that type of thing.
51:09And then one of the things we decided to do is to go with the field house type thing.
51:14If you saw in the video, it was astro turf in that area, um, artificial grass.
51:20So you could do soccer, lacrosse, um, other types of activities like that that the youth enjoy.
51:27And then this area is just mechanical on that first floor plan.
51:33And then if we can this is exterior, but that is also mechanical area.
51:38And then if we can jump to the second floor, please.
51:45So here you'll come up the stairs from the lower level and elevator, and then there's some restrooms up here.
51:52Then we have this uh uh walking track, which is a desired amenity by all the people that we talked to in the open houses over the last several years.
52:03Um we have our weights and cardio equipment all in this area and this area that'll be up in the upper levels.
52:11Um that's where you can walk on your treadmill, those types of activities.
52:16Then we do have a deck on this back side where we pitcher maybe doing some outdoor yoga on the deck, or it'll be fenced off.
52:25So if you're in there and you want to take a breather after you've been on the treadmill for my case, maybe 10 minutes, but not an hour.
52:34You can go out on the deck and um you know enjoy the sunrise or whatever you may have.
52:41Um then of course the pull area off to the main level, which is all there too.
52:47So um, I think I got all the questions that were asked.
52:53If you guys think I missed one, please speak up on it.
52:58I think there was a question about the exterior elevations and maybe some of the colors.
53:03I don't know if we want to look at the 3D view that kind of showed a lot of the windows.
53:07Yeah, let me have Nathan.
53:10You'll be definitely better at that than I so we're gonna look at this one or do we look at?
53:20Well, we can start here.
53:22Um that way so I can use the announcement of the people online.
53:28The the lower walls of the building are the brick uh veneer.
53:33We're doing that for durability and having a good solid mass for the building to sit on.
53:40The metal panels are reserved for the upper floor, and these are lighter materials that you saw on the material board.
53:46Um we have two different types in the building, one for this western wall, and we repeat that type on the eastern wall.
53:53The north and the south walls have yet another type of uh a pattern, uh like a profile metal we would call it.
54:02Um there is a good bit of glass, especially along the eastern elevation to take advantage of the spectacular views toward the mountains.
54:11Um at the pool level, we have glass that looks from the locker room and uh and lifeguard out into the pool.
54:20Uh the front door, we have offices here with glass windows.
54:24There's the aerobics room uh with a glass window out to the west.
54:29And uh the running track have windows around located around that track.
54:35So as you uh run around it, you get views out every side of the building.
54:43That's it in a nutshell.
54:44I you have any specific questions about the material?
54:47The average height, probably around a little less than 40.
54:50Yeah, I would say the average height is uh mid-30s.
54:54On the west side is the highest.
54:55On the east, we'd be probably more like 16 to 18 feet.
55:00So the highest is 40.
55:03I was uh I wish I knew that number off the top of the head.
55:08Because you have a 14 foot floor to floor, and we usually have about a 16-foot pair of it.
55:15So I yeah, maybe below 30s.
55:20And you've engineered it for the snow loads.
55:22We're good with snow ones.
55:24We have a great engineer on this project.
55:27Do you want to check that camera?
55:34Uh I I think they've thank you for answering the questions.
55:38Uh I think you answered the ones that I wrote down there, so I appreciate that.
55:42Um, so we will uh close this to public comment now and open this up to the commission for discussion deliberation motion.
56:08Are we okay with the parking reduction?
56:11And the parking plan.
56:14So I'll make a motion that the planning commission determine the preliminary modified site plan review is complete for the proposed Alta Canyon Sports Center building located at 9565 South Highland Drive, and approve the building height mass architectural design materials and colors as proposed.
56:33Um set the required on-site parking stall requirement at 148 stalls based on the five findings and seven conditions as outlined in the staff report.
56:49Uh do we have a second?
57:03This motion carries.
57:07It can be a good project.
57:13Time to get busy, huh?
57:18So we uh next item what looks like uh our minutes approval of minutes.
57:32We have a motion or motion to approve all in favor?
57:40Okay, and then uh James Development Report.
57:44Um as far as the director's report.
57:47I don't uh have anything specific.
57:49I was gonna ask Mike, but if he had anything, but we'll come back to that.
57:54Wow, that's about our last item though, right?
58:01Do you have anything you want to bring out?
58:07Do we have a motion to uh adjourn?
58:17Thank you, you guys.
