All in favor? >> I 23 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,920 » I >> opposed. 24 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:50,000 Abstensions. The motion carries 6. 25 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,920 The first item on the agenda tonight is Flint Trails Revised Final Development 26 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,920 Plan. Does the applicant have a presentation? 27 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:01,560 Would 28 00:11:04,177 --> 00:11:06,197 [clears throat] 29 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,839 the staff then give their presentation? 30 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,200 the slides. >> The Flint Trails development is before 31 00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:32,160 you this evening because they are requesting an additional deviation. So, 32 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:39,120 it's a revised final development plan. The overall project consists of 264 town 33 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:43,120 home units and the site grading and installation of infrastructure is 34 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:48,560 currently underway. We found that when we were reviewing the 35 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,720 building permit applications that several of the decks and or patios are 36 00:11:52,240 --> 00:12:01,120 that are proposed encroach into the rear setback. Therefore, the for this evening 37 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:07,519 is that additional deviation request to the next one. Thanks. This slide is 38 00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:13,200 just looking at the buildings on the perimeter of the development that are 39 00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:19,519 encroaching into that 20 foot setback. The different colors represent either a 40 00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:26,639 patio or a deck that encroaches into that setback. And it in this case would 41 00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:30,800 be just a single um patio or deck would require the encroachment or would 42 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:37,200 require the deviation for the encroachment. The next slide looks at 43 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:44,320 the interior of the development. And if the developer were to divide the lot 44 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:49,839 further, which they're not proposing at this time, again, the yellow and orange 45 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:55,519 ovals represent the buildings that would have an encroachment. In this case, the 46 00:12:52,720 --> 00:13:01,920 buildings are all still they're at least 28 feet between a deck 47 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:07,600 and/or patio with one exception. And if you see on the far right side of the 48 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:13,760 slide, there's two orange ovals. Those two buildings back up to open space. And 49 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:19,200 those two buildings have encroachments that would be as close as 5T to the 50 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:24,320 property line. However, when you've got that open space immediately adjacent, it 51 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:29,040 doesn't feel that crowded, if you will. So with that, staff is recommending 52 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:33,600 approval of the revised final development plan with the rear setback 53 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:38,720 deviations as outlined in the staff report for both the perimeter uh 54 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:44,560 deviation of up to five feet for a 15 foot setback and the interior if the 55 00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:48,079 applicant were to subdivide as shown. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to 56 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:52,839 answer them. >> Do any of the commissioners have 57 00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:52,839 questions for staff? 58 00:13:56,079 --> 00:14:02,399 Okay, thank you.

Does the applicant have a 79 00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:30,519 presentation? 80 00:15:34,079 --> 00:15:39,600 And good evening, Doug Evan with Phelps Engineering here on behalf of Paul 81 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:44,720 Adterbury with Adterbury Homes. Uh no formal presentation. Uh just here to ask 82 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:50,399 for your support for reszoning five duplex lots which would had 10 units 83 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:58,240 into five uh forplex lots. So a total of 20 units. So an increase of 10 units at 84 00:15:52,720 --> 00:16:02,079 174th in Kil Creek Road. Um similar uh resoning was done to the units just 85 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,920 to the north. Those were duplexes. They were converted to forplex lots. So just 86 00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:09,600 trying to do uh something consistent there. Uh the lots have sat vacant there 87 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:13,199 for several years. So, uh, Paul would like to put the lot, put the plans in, 88 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,120 uh, the buildings in, build the forplexes and and get some units going 89 00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:20,480 there. So, with that, myself and Paul are here, and if you have any questions, 90 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:24,240 be free to answer any questions you may have. 91 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:28,399 » Thank you.

[clears throat] Again, this is uh item two, Prairie Brick 2, uh resoning 97 00:16:55,759 --> 00:17:05,679 and plary development plan. project is for uh as you were aware of 98 00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:10,079 we're reszoning an associated uh preliminary development plan for a 99 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:15,679 town home development as uh being located on five existing platted lots uh 100 00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:18,679 on a total area of right around two acres. 101 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:32,720 Okay. Uh as you can see from the zoning map, 102 00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:38,080 uh there's a a mix of uh uses. Uh just to the south, we have a duplex 103 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:43,840 development. Uh in this area right now currently is zoned RP2. Uh directly to 104 00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:48,480 the north is RP3 as was mentioned earlier for a town home development. And 105 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:53,760 then you have uh single family. This was all part of an original uh plan 106 00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:59,120 development called Prairie Brook uh that was done back in the mid 2000s. Uh I 107 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:06,880 believe the duplexes were built right around 2010 to 2016. Uh the ones to the 108 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:11,320 south and then the forplexes were uh just done just a couple years ago. 109 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:22,640 The comprehensive plan shows this area as actually a medium density development 110 00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:29,200 which is defined as single family attached homes or also uh examples of 111 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:33,600 that are I sorry single family attached homes 112 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:40,280 which are examples are duplexes, triplexes and of course what's being 113 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,280 presented to you tonight forplexes. 114 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:49,360 This just shows the layout of how the buildings are uh to be placed on the 115 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:54,080 property. Uh again, this is a preliminary development plan. We'll uh 116 00:18:51,520 --> 00:19:00,799 get into a little closer review when the final uh development plan is which 117 00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:08,520 should be before you next month. Again, this is uh five forplexes for a 118 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,520 total of 20 units. 119 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:17,919 And uh as not usually but uh we've received this also with the uh plants. 120 00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:25,240 Uh this is a landscape plan. Kind of shows you how the trees are being placed 121 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,240 along the road. Okay. 122 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:32,799 Post plan reflects general accepted sound planning and design principles. uh 123 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:37,360 provides multiple access points uh within the development off of uh Gil 124 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,559 Creek and also Pratt and is an infill development that does not deter any 125 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,080 existing or future development on adjacent lots. The project is consistent 126 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:49,080 with various policies in the comprehensive plan to support future 127 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,080 growth 128 00:19:49,679 --> 00:19:57,600 and staff recommends approval of the resoning and associated development plan 129 00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:03,120 to reszone 2.01 01 acres from RP2 planned planned two family residential 130 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:07,320 district to RP3 planned mixed density district. 131 00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:14,360 » Thank you. Do commissioners have any questions for staff? 132 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,240 » Thank you. This item does require public hearing. Anyone interested in speaking, 133 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,679 please come forward and state your name and address for the record. After you've 134 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,640 spoken, or before, if you've done it already, make sure your name and address 135 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:32,000 on the is on the sign-in sheet in the back of the room. Individual speakers 136 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:35,679 will have three minutes. A speaker representing a group will be allotted 137 00:20:33,679 --> 00:20:39,440 seven minutes. Please address your comments and any questions to the 138 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:42,080 planning commission. Any questions raised by those speaking will be 139 00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:45,320 addressed at the conclusion of the public hearing. 140 00:20:51,600 --> 00:21:00,000 My name is Tim Gates. Company name is Agnes Gates Realy, PO Box 4057, Overland 141 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:04,640 Park, Kansas 66204. Uh I'm the uh guy that originally helped 142 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:10,720 the Shuts do the whole subdivision out there and uh we actually built the last 143 00:21:08,159 --> 00:21:15,280 duplex that was there. But we we planned that that those two streets there where 144 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:20,480 prairie duplexes are, it was planned for larger duplexes with two-car garages, 145 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:24,240 twocar driveways. And we feel that the we're prodevelopment for sure, but we 146 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:29,919 feel the density and the amount of driveways in that two two block or two 147 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:32,080 lot area is just way too much. We think there's going to be a lot of car sitting 148 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,320 on the street because there's single car garages. got two people in each unit and 149 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:40,880 it's going to create a bottleneck coming off Kill Creek for the people that live 150 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:44,880 in the the duplexes back there now and the uh town homes to the north that come 151 00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:49,520 back around that way. Staff even mentions in their report that they have 152 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,799 concerns about traffic and we just think when you look at that it's just kind of 153 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:58,159 a no-brainer that come off Thrill Creek all of a sudden you got 16 driveways and 154 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:02,799 about 150 ft. It's going to create issues. we we'd ask that you'd have them 155 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:06,240 reconsider and maybe do something better or different with with those driveways 156 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:10,559 and do something different. It just doesn't match with what's there and and 157 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:15,440 it's not what was intended when we first did the those two streets and planned 158 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:19,679 all all that out. And uh when M Mr. Shutsel is here too, 159 00:22:18,159 --> 00:22:23,200 he'd like to speak. I can answer any questions if you got them for me. Our 160 00:22:21,679 --> 00:22:26,400 main concern is it just doesn't fit the character of the Prairie Brook duplexes 161 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:31,799 right there in those two streets and it's just a lot of a lot of garages, a 162 00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:31,799 lot of cars. 163 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,679 Any questions? 164 00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:41,320 » Thank you. 165 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:56,159 Yeah, my name's uh Abel Schutzel and I live at 12209 Horton in Overland Park 166 00:22:51,120 --> 00:23:00,080 and uh you know we have uh developed 10 duplexes there and there's 20 units that 167 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:06,000 my family owns with my brother and sister 168 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:11,760 and uh you know we just feel like you know we spent maybe four and a half five 169 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:15,760 million back in 2005 without any assistance or anything and we ought to 170 00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:21,919 have some kind of a say in what goes in next door to us. And uh I don't know, 171 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:29,919 I'd be willing to compromise or something, but uh I don't think I want 172 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:35,840 10 or 20 units there and all the traffic and all the extra drama 173 00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:42,159 and things like that there. Uh, I just hope you'll consider my 174 00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:47,360 wishes and my family's wishes and, you know, see if you can help us out a 175 00:23:44,159 --> 00:23:50,591 little bit. I appreciate it. Thank you. [snorts] 176 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,919 Does anyone else wish to speak on this item? 177 00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:08,559 And seeing no one else approaching the podium, is there a motion to close the 178 00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:11,039 public hearing? >> So moved. 179 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,640 » Second. >> Motion to close the public hearing by 180 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:17,919 Commissioner Aluchcci, seconded by Commissioner Junan. All in 181 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:23,600 favor? >> I opposed. 182 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:27,640 Abstensions. Public hearing is now closed. 183 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:38,559 Do any of the members of the planning commission have questions for staff or 184 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:42,679 the applicant? >> Was there study conducted? 185 00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:58,080 » There was, but it wasn't a full traffic uh impact study. I believe that was just 186 00:24:54,559 --> 00:25:03,120 a memo, wasn't it, Tim? because one had uh been 187 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:07,039 done years ago for the original development 188 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:12,360 and public works uh determined that it wasn't necessary to go through that full 189 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,360 process again. 190 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:28,559 Got a question for the for the applicant. Um, you mentioned going from 191 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:32,480 10 units to 20 units with forplexes. Do you have an have a number on the number 192 00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:37,600 of bedrooms if it was, you know, that it used to be to what it will be now? 193 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:40,799 » Threebedroom units. The threebedroom units, I don't know. I imagine if they 194 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,159 had two car garages before, they had at least three bedrooms. I don't know what 195 00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:47,600 we didn't do the original plan, so I don't know how many bedrooms the units 196 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,240 before had, but I if they were that large, I I would say they had at least 197 00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:55,919 three. >> But what you're proposing will have 198 00:25:51,919 --> 00:25:59,919 three bedrooms per unit. Yes. Okay. >> And just to speak to the traffic if I 199 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:05,520 could real quick. U so we did do the memo and in the uh in the AM peak it's 200 00:26:03,919 --> 00:26:10,080 four additional trips and the PM peak gets five additional trips. So it's not 201 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:15,799 you know over an hour. That's not a lot of cars being added by by these extra 202 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:15,799 units. 203 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,559 Thank you. 204 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:31,760 I mean, I get I get some of the concerns about having cars parked on the street. 205 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:34,720 » I mean, um, but I mean, as far as like the character of the neighborhood, it's 206 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:37,919 we have the same thing directly to the north. And this is closer to that 207 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,960 collector street. >> So, the traffic isn't going to be going 208 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,799 through those neighborhoods and impacting those um neighborhoods. It's 209 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:47,200 just going to be, you know, maybe maybe you might see some more cars parked 210 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,400 there on the street or, you know, hopefully they can get on the driveways, 211 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,360 but I know that we can't always make that happen. 212 00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:59,320 » But, you know, they can't block driveways either, so there's not like 213 00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:59,320 really a ton of room to park. So, 214 00:26:59,919 --> 00:27:09,200 » I have a question for Tim. I think um when Wendy's was coming in down south, 215 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:13,360 one of the questions was having the left the right turn lane off of Gardener Road 216 00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:16,000 to go in and it was too close to the intersection. 217 00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:22,000 When you're in a residential neighborhood like this, does that factor 218 00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:27,640 in the numbers of driveways and how close they are to the 219 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:27,640 » We don't have any specific requirements. 220 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:39,600 So there are requirements um just 221 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:43,760 state law as far as how close you park and that's regardless of what the 222 00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:51,120 development is. I can't remember 25 ft maybe from the the corner. Um but no, I 223 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:57,679 mean I I think there's concern just about ability to that but there is no 224 00:27:53,440 --> 00:28:03,799 room to park in that area but other than that we don't have any any restrictions. 225 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:03,799 » Okay. 226 00:28:09,919 --> 00:28:15,720 Okay. Uh no more discussion. I'd entertain a motion for this. 227 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:30,880 I can make that motion. Um, planning commission recommends 228 00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:36,120 approval of the resoning and associated preliminary development plan. Um, 229 00:28:40,159 --> 00:28:46,000 » before I ask for a second. >> Yeah. Um, 230 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,960 this will be addressed in more detail with the final development plan. Is that 231 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,919 correct? >> Okay. Okay. 232 00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:58,720 » Second. >> So, I have a motion by Commissioner 233 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,480 Junan, second by Commissioner Aluchcci. All in favor? 234 00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:04,480 » I >> I 235 00:29:01,919 --> 00:29:09,120 » opposed. Abstensions. 236 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,399 Prey Brook 2 resoning and associated preliminary development plan is 237 00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:16,960 recommended for approval. This recommendation will be forwarded to the 238 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:21,000 city council for consideration at their September 21st meeting. 239 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:28,159 The last development related item on our agenda is the velocity arts resoning and 240 00:29:25,679 --> 00:29:31,960 preliminary final development plan. Does the applicant have a presentation? 241 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:48,080 Good evening and thank you for your time. I'm Josh Shibler with Velocity 242 00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:51,200 Arts. We're excited to introduce to you our project and what we are proposing 243 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,279 here in Gardener and what it means for this community. Our team from Kimley 244 00:29:53,679 --> 00:29:58,399 Horn will answer any technical questions related to the application after I give 245 00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:02,399 you some brief introduction to the project. Uh just in case there's any 246 00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:07,120 questions or follow-ups. Uh we're an arts organization at our 247 00:30:04,399 --> 00:30:10,640 core. Thank you, Victoria. Uh we are creating educational programming in the 248 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:14,640 arts and entertainment industry and making them accessible to aspiring 249 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:20,000 artists and technicians. That's the mission. The district around it is the 250 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:23,679 venues, the hotel, the retail shops are the engine that drive the mission and 251 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,240 keep it running for the long term. We're building building experiences that can't 252 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,760 be downloaded through genuine performance and we think Gardener is the 253 00:30:27,919 --> 00:30:33,520 right place to do it. The Kansas City Metro is growing and the opportunity to 254 00:30:31,679 --> 00:30:36,960 integrate this programming into a community is in Johnson County. So 255 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,880 everything we show you tonight comes back to that. The commercial side funds 256 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:44,120 it, but the arts and our students are the point. 257 00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:52,080 We are not a developer building this to hand off to someone else. We design it, 258 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:56,159 we build it, we run it. We have a team of experienced professionals that have a 259 00:30:53,919 --> 00:31:00,399 real world experience in the industry to ensure that we what we build is able to 260 00:30:58,399 --> 00:31:05,360 deliver on the program. We're in it for the long haul, the launch, the 261 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:08,480 operations, all of it because we want to build something that creates jobs and 262 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:12,320 enriches the community's education options. The people in front of you 263 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:16,440 tonight are the same people who will be running it for years to come. 264 00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:20,720 We've worked with Populace and Kimley Horn to create the site plan we 265 00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:25,120 submitted with the preliminary development plan. Our site is right off 266 00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:29,039 of I35 and 175th Street between the railroad tracks and the interstate. This 267 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:33,520 location provides easy access for out of town visitors and gardener residents. 268 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:38,240 Our program is one connected experience around an arts and education campus. 269 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:42,399 It's anchored by a 15,000 seat indoor concert pavilion with year-round 270 00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:46,559 programming, a 2500 seat performing arts center to host Broadway touring shows 271 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:50,480 and locally produced productions, as well as an 8 acre lagoon with a walkable 272 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:55,600 retail entertainment prominade and hotel. It's walkable and it's active 273 00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:59,440 yearround. The point isn't any one building, it's how it all works together 274 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:05,200 to provide a destination for both locals and out of town visitors. 275 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:09,200 Key to our mission is keeping our focus on preparing the next generation. Our 276 00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:12,240 community bridge programs programs are designed to enable the community to 277 00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:16,720 explore the artistic side while providing real world opportunities for 278 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:19,760 performance. We're establishing arts and entertainment programming for both 279 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:24,320 gardener and the Kansas City region in addition to restaurants, shops, and the 280 00:32:22,559 --> 00:32:28,399 lagoon water feature to host events all year round. Because we run it ourselves, 281 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,919 we are programming a calendar of events to engage the community and create new 282 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:36,880 opportunities for local engagement in entertainment and education. 283 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:39,919 Equipping the next generation of creatives and performers is the heart of 284 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:44,080 the program. We call it kids comes first. Our goal is quality arts 285 00:32:42,159 --> 00:32:47,919 education open to every kid starting in first grade. It's built on five 286 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:52,480 disciplines: instrumental performance, theater, media, vocal performance, and 287 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:56,000 dance. We will establish a youth symphony, a community choir, and classes 288 00:32:54,559 --> 00:33:00,320 for adults to engage in their creative interests. Our programs establish a 289 00:32:58,159 --> 00:33:03,840 pathway. A first lesson can lead to real training and a real career. Not every 290 00:33:02,159 --> 00:33:08,159 path is a four-year degree, and this is a real alternative that concludes in a 291 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:11,840 job. The venues you see in this programming 292 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,760 not only provide economic benefit, they do double duty. They're also the 293 00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:20,480 classrooms for our students to train alongside working professionals on real 294 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:23,279 stages in real studios with the appropriate technology to make sure our 295 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,360 students are equipped with real world training in real venues. That makes the 296 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:31,399 venues more than economic assets. It's where the mission comes to life. 297 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:40,240 A project of this size has to fit the community and infrastructure has to be 298 00:33:38,399 --> 00:33:43,519 built into the plan. We're designing to keep traffic and parking on our own 299 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:47,840 property. Our design team is working with KDOT to integrate our district into 300 00:33:45,919 --> 00:33:51,760 the plans for 175th Street Junction and the surrounding area. We're offering to 301 00:33:50,159 --> 00:33:55,600 build fire and police facilities that would serve the area as a part of our uh 302 00:33:53,679 --> 00:34:00,480 project construction. We're here for the long term and are mindful of ensuring 303 00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:04,720 our project is clear. It has a clear benefit to the community. 304 00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:07,919 We take being a good neighbor seriously. So, let me name a few of our 305 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:11,359 commitments. Safety planned from day one. We will be actively engaging with 306 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,639 the police and fire department to ensure we are providing the appropriate 307 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:18,639 facilities for them to deliver essential services to us and the broader 308 00:34:16,399 --> 00:34:23,440 community. A design that fits gardener with appropriate uh landscape buffers, 309 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:28,320 open spaces, responsible lighting, and architectural influences that complement 310 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:31,359 the area and its roots. Our design team will take into account local influences 311 00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:35,200 to integrate the district into the community. We're here to integrate in 312 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:39,280 the community, enhance the programs that are already here. 313 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,639 Tonight is the beginning of a of the public process and we are committed to 314 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:46,320 staying in an open ongoing conversation with the city and the wider community. 315 00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:49,839 Thank you so much for your time and your consideration. With that, I'll hand it 316 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:53,320 over to Kimley Horn or staff, whoever is going to take next. 317 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:16,960 Is that is applicants engineer going to speak? I didn't know. 318 00:35:15,359 --> 00:35:21,520 Sounded like he that was a segue, but I wasn't sure. [laughter] 319 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:25,359 » Hello, commissioners. Uh Ben Gasper with Kimley Horn. Uh we're here to answer any 320 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,240 technical questions you may have. We'll let the staff present the report and 321 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:32,880 then if you guys have any questions as far as the uh traffic impact study or um 322 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,440 storm water utilities, things like that, we're here to answer answer any 323 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:38,240 questions. >> Thank you. Thanks. 324 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:43,920 » Do any of the commissioners have questions for the applicant before we 325 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,920 hear the staff presentation? 326 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:53,040 When you when you speak of students students from the surrounding school 327 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:56,320 districts, are you working with in conjunction with them with their music 328 00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:00,079 programs and their programs? >> Yes. The goal is to really integrate 329 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,560 into the community and provide the facilities and opportunities that aren't 330 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:09,280 largely available in public education. We'll have our own youth symphony, 331 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:13,040 practice spaces, uh places for people to per perform. Um, yes, we'll work with 332 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,720 the local school districts to promote their programs and provide the venues 333 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:21,680 and spaces available to them as well. >> Thank you. 334 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:27,040 » I have a question for you as well. Um, in the package you talked, sorry, 335 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:32,560 » you get your steps in. Um, in the package you talked about the public 336 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:38,720 safety part with events both exiting, entering and exiting the area. And you 337 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,920 talked about having um I don't want to say police because I 338 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,520 don't want to presume police, but how are you man kind of managing it? Would 339 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:49,040 it be police? Would it be trained velocity arts staff? Would it be 340 00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:54,560 volunteers? What would it be? >> Uh staff as well as law enforcement. Uh 341 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:59,440 we've got uh we'll start conversations with the services that already exist in 342 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:03,440 the community for uh offduty officers that are able to help facilitate that 343 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:07,040 we'll hire as a part of our program as most of the large venues in town would 344 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:11,359 would operate. Uh that's pretty common practice to tap local law enforcement 345 00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:14,880 and then also have our own staff that's responsible for the onampus and then the 346 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,599 the larger safety protocol with the police department. 347 00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:20,000 » Okay. Thank you. >> Is there going to be any type of campus 348 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,160 security? >> Yes. 349 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:28,240 » Okay. As far as a ongoing presence, 350 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:34,160 » I know the police can't be there 247, but when you when you see venues like 351 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:38,240 this, they have some type of security force. 352 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:40,560 » Yep. You know, it'll be 24-hour security just with the nature of the school and 353 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,720 the different pieces of this development. Again, that's a key item 354 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:48,000 for us to make sure uh just as a responsible party and a responsible 355 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:52,480 business that we'll have security available and on site for all those 356 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,200 hours. Uh it is a by the nature of what it is, but we need to make sure that 357 00:37:53,920 --> 00:38:00,119 we've got that covered and everybody feels safe coming and going. 358 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,119 » Thank you. 359 00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:04,480 » I won't interrupt you this time on the way back. 360 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,400 » You're good. [laughter] >> All right. Thank you. 361 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,400 » Would staff please give their presentation. 362 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:18,960 So, the velocity arts application includes a request to reszone the 363 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:23,280 property and for your consideration is a preliminary development plan for the 364 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:30,000 mixeduse project that encompasses approximately 215 acres. The property is 365 00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:36,320 located in the northwest quadrant of the I35 and 175th Street interchange. It's 366 00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:43,520 bounded by the railroad and industrial bypass on the west, 167th Street on the 367 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:48,640 north, Clear Road on the east, and roughly I35 and the interchange on the 368 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:53,440 south. Next, in this slide, I've got two 369 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:59,280 graphics. On the left is the zoning map and it shows you the current zoning of 370 00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:04,079 the property is both rural, single family and agricultural in the county 371 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:08,160 which is the rur and then agricultural within the city. The 372 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:13,280 properties that we're talking about are outlined in blue. the surrounding 373 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:20,000 zoning, you've got a mix of both the RUR, which is still in the county, as 374 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:26,079 well as some commercial and industrial across the railroad and bypass. The 375 00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:34,000 right side of the screen is our future land use map from the I35 and 175th 376 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:39,599 Street interchange sub area plan. And the property is outlined also in blue on 377 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:44,960 this slot on this picture. The designation per that plan for the 378 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:48,720 subject property is regional commercial which is the sort of reddish maroon 379 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:54,960 color and heavy commercial and industrial which is the purple color. 380 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:59,839 The when we're considering the activity center planned zoning district 381 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:04,160 designation there needs to be a reference to one of our base zoning 382 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:10,720 districts. And in this case, the applicant has selected the C3 or heavy 383 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:16,240 commercial zoning district. The C3 is consistent with the regional commercial 384 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:21,200 land use category and therefore the proposed zoning may be considered 385 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:27,119 appropriate based on the proximity to the I35 and 175th Street interchange as 386 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:32,240 well as the visibility that it would have from the interstate. And those are 387 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:37,520 some things that were talked about in the land our land development code 388 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:42,160 relative to the activity center planned district. Lastly, there's four bullets 389 00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:46,960 on the lower right hand corner of this slide and I pull those out because we 390 00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:53,200 don't often see the activity center plan zoning district. However, that district 391 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:58,400 in within the context of the land development code states that it should 392 00:40:55,359 --> 00:41:03,760 accomplish one or more of these bulleted items. Those include creating broader 393 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:09,760 community benefits by integrating both regional and/or commercial serving uses 394 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:15,040 along or near key commercial corridors. Supporting multimmoal transportation 395 00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:20,079 services. Implementing improved public realm designs along key commercial 396 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:24,960 corridors including streetscape open space, civic spaces and the relationship 397 00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:29,680 of buildings to and sites to those spaces. And lastly, ensuring 398 00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:34,640 compatibility between between the uses through building placement and design 399 00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:40,720 landscape solutions and arranging things to provide transition between lower and 400 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:46,480 higher intensity uses. Going to the next slide. The proposed velocity arts 401 00:41:43,839 --> 00:41:52,079 project is a mixeduse development that I as I previously stated. It includes a 402 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:57,520 mult multiple events, entertainment and recreation venues, commercial uses, a 403 00:41:54,640 --> 00:42:02,960 hotel, rental vacation villas, and a media oriented college with dormitories. 404 00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:07,920 I show this color site plan because it helps to illustrate some of the 405 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:14,480 different areas. The green obviously is their open space and their landscaping. 406 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:20,720 The what I'll call white boxes represent the proposed buildings. The gray areas 407 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:26,240 are different roads and/or surface parking. And the dark gray ring road, if 408 00:42:24,319 --> 00:42:31,839 you will, along the perimeter of the project is a public road. 409 00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:37,920 Looking from this perspective, you can see both an interior and an exterior 410 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:43,280 ring road. All of the lighter colored streets are proposed to be private. So 411 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:48,640 the majority of the infrastructure related to roads in this development is 412 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:52,800 proposed to be private. The project is intended to be developed as a unified 413 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:58,240 campus with details such as their architecture and streetscape that would 414 00:42:55,359 --> 00:43:03,920 provide that unified theme. And next slide looks at open space and civic 415 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:09,760 spaces. There's several different types of open space on or within the velocity 416 00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:16,079 arts development. There are 10 foot wide pathways that are shown in either blue, 417 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:19,920 the the green or the yellow and they have the arrows and the dashed lines. 418 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:25,200 They they run through the what's called the main street, more of the commercial 419 00:43:21,839 --> 00:43:31,520 area and around the water feature in that area. They the green is a walkway 420 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:38,400 around the lagoon that would connect the lagoon to the vacation villas and the 421 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:42,160 hotel. And lastly, the yellow is within more of the college campus 422 00:43:40,030 --> 00:43:47,520 [clears throat] connecting some of the event venues to the college. And I point 423 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:53,280 all of these out because open and civic space is an important part of any plan 424 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:59,680 development as well as within the activity center plan zoning district. 425 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:06,560 The next slide is the applicant's pedestrian and vehicle access diagram. 426 00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:12,000 I've added a couple of circles, if you will, to point out where this project 427 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:16,400 accesses the public road system. So, the orange dot at the very top of the 428 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:23,440 development is at the intersection of Clare Road and 167th Street. You can see 429 00:44:19,839 --> 00:44:28,800 that this yellow outline of the public road along the perimeter of the 430 00:44:25,359 --> 00:44:34,160 development connects into 167th Street. There's a lot of infrastructure 431 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:39,200 specifically related to roadways that will be the responsibility of the 432 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:45,359 developer in order to provide um a transportation network, if you will. The 433 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:51,599 two red dots along Clare Road are where the private road system connects into 434 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:58,079 the Clare Road public road system. And then the blue dot in the lower left 435 00:44:54,240 --> 00:45:03,440 corner of the project is where the public road system that's on the within 436 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:07,040 the site connects to the public road system outside of the site. So it's 437 00:45:05,359 --> 00:45:13,119 where we make that connection between on and off site. You see that there's two 438 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:17,760 roundabouts in that lower portion and oftent times roundabouts are used to 439 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:23,119 help with the flow of traffic as opposed to a signalized intersection. um the 440 00:45:21,359 --> 00:45:30,480 actual design of those in terms of number of lanes, widths, as well as 441 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:34,160 where the actual roads connect into the roundabouts would be something that we 442 00:45:32,319 --> 00:45:37,839 would be looking at closer at final development plan. So, this is really 443 00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:44,160 more of their concept of how it would all come together. 444 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:48,480 The next slide I've got is just text. I won't read it to you, but I wanted to 445 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:53,200 touch base on the infrastructure related improvements. Typically we don't talk 446 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:58,960 about utilities such as electric water or wastewater but based on the scale of 447 00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:04,640 this development we are in conversations with the applicant because we may not as 448 00:46:01,359 --> 00:46:08,960 a city be able to serve the development with our utilities and 449 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:15,920 so they are also talking with for example Evergy may be the provider for 450 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:20,640 electric the uh same with the water and wastewater. So 451 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:24,079 that's again something that needs to be finalized with the final development 452 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:28,480 plan. How is it going to get that infrastructure? 453 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:32,640 Lastly, the traffic, sorry, still on this one because I wanted to talk a 454 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:38,880 little bit about traffic. And we do have a preliminary traffic impact study. It 455 00:46:35,359 --> 00:46:44,240 looked at the types of development, the peak hours for that development, but it 456 00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:48,880 did pull out the entertainment venues, the the different event venues because 457 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:52,560 of their different peak times. And so that was looked at a little differently. 458 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:58,079 What I've put on here, and it was included in the staff report, was the 459 00:46:54,960 --> 00:47:02,880 first four bullets. These are impro or first four numbers in the middle of the 460 00:46:59,839 --> 00:47:07,680 screen. The traffic impact study assumed that those would all be in place when 461 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:14,800 the development opens. In terms of traffic signals and improvements at the 462 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:22,079 interchange of 175th and I35, for example, as well as um the 175th Street 463 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:28,160 improvements. The traffic study also talks about 464 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:32,160 additional uh infrastructure that needs to be constructed to support the 465 00:47:30,079 --> 00:47:39,359 development and that includes widening of Clare Lane um paving of 167th Street 466 00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:45,040 for example. Lastly, the traffic study does acknowledge that having an 467 00:47:41,359 --> 00:47:50,880 additional interchange at 167th Street and I35 would provide for significant 468 00:47:48,319 --> 00:47:57,359 additional access and flexibility for large events. So, all of that is a a lot 469 00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:03,839 to consider. We are still working with their traffic engineer and our traffic 470 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:08,560 consultants to look at the traffic impact of this development. And I I 471 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:14,079 would again just reiterate that the applicant or developer is responsible 472 00:48:11,119 --> 00:48:20,640 for this infrastructure. The next slide 473 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:28,559 um is just an aerial view that the applicant showed because I wanted to 474 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:33,280 point out again that the project itself, all of the building square footage is 475 00:48:30,319 --> 00:48:38,800 approximately 2.5 million gross square feet of building area. that includes the 476 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:44,000 event venues, the multi-story hotels, all or hotel, excuse me, it's a single 477 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:50,720 one. All of the proposed building, the commercial component is approximately at 478 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:57,680 this point um less than 300,000 square feet. There's a diverse mix of uses and 479 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:03,280 a project of this scale is often going to go through a series of changes as the 480 00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:08,160 development plans are refined. Specific details relating to building 481 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:12,800 architecture, the provision of parking, landscape plans, and other site details 482 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:17,760 are something that will be required with the final development plan submissions. 483 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:24,480 The applicant requested three deviations. We are not proposing to 484 00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:27,839 consider those at this time. They relate we we think it's more appropriate to 485 00:49:26,559 --> 00:49:32,079 consider those with the final development plan. And therefore, though 486 00:49:30,319 --> 00:49:38,000 they were mentioned in your staff report, I'm not going to talk about them 487 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:42,880 this evening. With that, I would wrap it up um by speaking about some of the 488 00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:48,880 recommended conditions on the last slide that I have. Ultimately, staff is 489 00:49:46,319 --> 00:49:53,599 recommending approval of the resoning and associated preliminary development 490 00:49:50,880 --> 00:50:00,000 plan for the velocity arts development subject to the four conditions that have 491 00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:05,040 many sub items to them that were in your staff report. I didn't list all of the 492 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:09,599 specific conditions because it would have taken about three slides and I 493 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:13,839 figured it's in the staff report. So, if you've got any specific questions about 494 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:19,520 the conditions, I'd be happy to answer them. And with that, that will conclude 495 00:50:16,319 --> 00:50:23,839 our presentation. Any commissioners have questions for 496 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:27,920 staff as far as improvements to roadways 497 00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:32,640 surrounding a lot of those roadways aren't within 498 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:37,119 the city limits of Carter. Not off clear road is 67th Street is 499 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:40,559 not. Is this something we're in discussion with with the county as far 500 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:45,040 as getting those improvements? 501 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:51,520 » Uh, we haven't gotten to that phase of it in terms of conversations with the 502 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:57,520 county. I would note that their project they are looking to expand potentially 503 00:50:55,040 --> 00:51:02,000 to the other side of Clare Road. That's not part of the proposal this evening 504 00:50:59,599 --> 00:51:08,440 because it's not in the city of Gardner and therefore you can't consider that, 505 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,440 but that may occur in the future. 506 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:16,319 » I have a couple questions for you. There's already a hotel to the south of 507 00:51:13,839 --> 00:51:22,400 the project by the Walmart. >> Are there any plans to to connect that 508 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:29,920 to this or account for foot traffic during events? That that's a really good 509 00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:36,960 question from the standpoint of the plan for the 175th Street and I35 510 00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:41,200 interchange. There are several preliminary, [cough] 511 00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:46,880 excuse me, preliminary designs that are being considered. That has not been 512 00:51:43,359 --> 00:51:52,960 finalized, nor has the time frame for that. So that's something that could be 513 00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:58,400 considered, but at this stage it's not actively being discussed. 514 00:51:54,880 --> 00:52:04,559 » Okay. My second question, the presumed traffic impact study improvements that 515 00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:09,760 are presumed to be available when it opens, are they going to be a barrier to 516 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:16,640 this opening if they're not ready? If they are not in already in place or 517 00:52:13,839 --> 00:52:20,720 installed constructed, the applicant would be the developer would be 518 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:26,319 responsible for them because they will be needed in order for the traffic to 519 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:30,520 flow as best it can. >> Okay. Right. Thank you. 520 00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:40,880 » So, is the city of gardener responsible for the utilities to support? 521 00:52:36,319 --> 00:52:42,800 » Not necessarily. the they are within our electric service area, 522 00:52:42,319 --> 00:52:47,359 » right? >> However, if we cannot serve them, we 523 00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:52,319 could give that service area, if you will, to 524 00:52:50,319 --> 00:52:58,720 EverGy and they could provide potentially provide those services. The 525 00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:05,839 I believe it's the wastewater is split between Johnson County wastewater and 526 00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:12,800 our wastewater utility. Um, so again, if we can't serve it all, we could 527 00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:16,480 give up that service. And with water, it's either I'm sorry, I can't recall if 528 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:22,480 it's the water or the waste water is split. And so let's say it's the water 529 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:27,680 is um our service area. If we cannot serve it again, they could discuss that 530 00:53:25,119 --> 00:53:33,119 with water one. They have started those conversations. Um, but we've not 531 00:53:30,319 --> 00:53:37,920 finalized anything at this point. We're they've given us some preliminary 532 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:44,400 numbers of what the development may require and at this point our utilities 533 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:47,720 department does have some concerns with serving it. 534 00:53:49,359 --> 00:54:02,680 » That's that's a massive project thinking about 535 00:53:55,200 --> 00:54:02,680 all the cities towns around rely water. 536 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:08,040 That's to me it's a major concern that 537 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:18,240 » is definitely something that with the final development plan will need to be 538 00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:22,960 figured out and answered if you will before a final development plan should 539 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:27,040 be considered. Commissioner Sosa, I'll just add in this 540 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:31,839 situation. The the fortunate item of this is is there a number of providers 541 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:36,480 that are out there so we can assess it from the standpoint of what the city has 542 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:41,200 capabilities to do, what we do not have capabilities to do on all fronts of 543 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:45,440 those utilities. What's nice is in this particular case, there are other utility 544 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:49,760 providers that serve those services too. So if we have an issue, Water One is a 545 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:55,040 much bigger service provider than we are. So the ability to handle a project 546 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:59,040 like this within the water one system is a very different scale than what we 547 00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:04,240 encounter through our system. So the good news is when we're looking at our 548 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:09,359 side of this equation first if there are issues there the providers that are the 549 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:14,079 backup providers if you will or the providers that have service area there 550 00:55:11,359 --> 00:55:18,640 water one everg some others are all larger scale elements that have that 551 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:21,640 capacity that goes way beyond what we have. 552 00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:35,040 Okay. Thank you. This item requires a public hearing. Anyone interested in 553 00:55:33,599 --> 00:55:38,400 speaking, please come forward and state your name and address for the record. 554 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:42,000 After you've spoken, if you haven't already done it, please write your name 555 00:55:40,319 --> 00:55:45,400 and address on the signin sheet at the back of the room. 556 00:55:53,520 --> 00:56:00,400 I'm sorry, I forgot to say individuals have three minutes. [laughter] 557 00:55:58,559 --> 00:56:04,559 » Speaking speaking for a group is seven minutes. Yes. 558 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:09,040 » Bill Andrew, 752 South Cypress Street, Gardener. 559 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:14,000 uh this 560 00:56:11,359 --> 00:56:21,559 uh development I don't really have one way or the other 561 00:56:17,359 --> 00:56:21,559 but I would like to make an observation 562 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:30,160 I [clears throat] believe in 1970 somewhere in that area the only angle 563 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:36,559 air station closed it was offered to the city of gardener 564 00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:40,240 at that time the city of garden gardner didn't think they were big enough to 565 00:56:38,079 --> 00:56:44,720 take that on. So, the city gardener made Johnson 566 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:49,920 County very happy. The next thing that came up was a NASCAR 567 00:56:47,599 --> 00:56:55,520 racetrack. Again, our governing body, 568 00:56:53,760 --> 00:57:00,160 probably with a lot of input from the residents 569 00:56:57,599 --> 00:57:04,480 with the idea of keeping it a a small town atmosphere, 570 00:57:02,319 --> 00:57:11,440 they turned down the racetrack, which made W County pretty happy. 571 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:15,280 And then the next thing was BNSF 572 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:22,400 interodal which is out here which I believe the 573 00:57:18,079 --> 00:57:29,440 city of Gardner had a agreement with. But then some of the 574 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:34,400 uh council members decided before the agreement was signed 575 00:57:32,079 --> 00:57:42,559 and passed and everything decided they had a few more questions and and had 576 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:47,200 some questions of BNSF and BNSF said okay. 577 00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:53,359 So they decided to go down to Edertton 578 00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:58,640 and Panex by them. 579 00:57:56,079 --> 00:58:04,559 The inner modal is right where it was proposed to be from the beginning. So we 580 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:10,839 made Edton very happy. If in our 581 00:58:07,839 --> 00:58:10,839 council 582 00:58:11,119 --> 00:58:17,440 decides against this project, 583 00:58:15,359 --> 00:58:24,839 I think Johnson County No Wayther right across 56 highway. Thank you. 584 00:58:21,599 --> 00:58:24,839 Thank you. 585 00:58:27,839 --> 00:58:32,440 Does anyone else wish to speak on this item? 586 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:46,319 Hi, my name is Andrea Braml. I'm from Gardener. My family moved here in the 587 00:58:43,599 --> 00:58:51,440 mid '9s. We always knew Gardner was going to blow up. And your residential 588 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:57,119 population has done exactly that. When I graduated from here in 2001, 140 kids. 589 00:58:54,640 --> 00:59:02,960 We were too big. The high school was too big for us. They shut half it down. 590 00:58:59,599 --> 00:59:07,680 Now, you guys had 450 students graduate this last May. If that hasn't shown just 591 00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:12,000 right there how much your population has boomed, I don't know what else has. But 592 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:16,319 what hasn't boomed here is the commercial development for your 593 00:59:14,319 --> 00:59:22,400 residents. Everything around here has boomed for 594 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:27,920 big business, warehouses, data centers, everything interodal. Nothing for your 595 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:33,839 residents. We have floundered over the years, as he just said, several big 596 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:39,280 projects. This project will connect Gardener to tha to the Kansas City 597 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:44,000 metro. If you don't do it, more warehouses are going to build up a wall 598 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:49,680 and we are going to continue being surrounded by what tha wants, by what 599 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:54,640 Spring Hill wants, not by what gardener residents and business owners want. So, 600 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:59,920 I highly encourage us. Let's take the chance. Let's do what everyone always 601 00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:06,559 knew Garner was going to be. We're on the cusp of Kansas City. Let's 602 01:00:02,559 --> 01:00:11,766 join the table. Be part of the metro. >> Thank you. 603 01:00:09,746 --> 01:00:11,766 [applause] 604 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,520 » Anyone else wish to speak on this item? 605 01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:26,880 Okay, seeing no one else approaching the podium, is there a motion to close the 606 01:00:25,119 --> 01:00:29,760 public hearing? >> So move. 607 01:00:28,319 --> 01:00:35,640 » Second. >> Motion made by Commissioner Junan, 608 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,640 seconded by Commissioner Oluchcci. 609 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:41,440 All in favor? >> I 610 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:47,400 » opposed.

Um how does the airport's proximity impact 615 01:01:06,559 --> 01:01:12,440 your development in any way positively or negatively? 616 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:18,400 » Um I we don't have any negative impact issues. We're frankly there. Audio would 617 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,359 or the sound would be the only thing, but we have a railroad on one side and 618 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:25,680 interstate on the other. Uh so we're kind of in that that environment anyway. 619 01:01:23,599 --> 01:01:28,960 Ultimately, I think that as New Century continues to grow and expand they're 620 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:33,359 doing that's just going to draw more into the area for our events, which I 621 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:37,200 showed potentially. Um we've met with the airport, uh they're aware of the 622 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,960 project, supportive of what's there. So I think we'll have a good relationship 623 01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:42,000 with them. >> Yeah. because I I think in in the 624 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:45,280 development like you guys are proposing some five-story buildings and and those 625 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,960 are [clears throat] okay as far as your preliminary research with 626 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:54,559 » we've reviewed that with the airport and our uh populace has kept that all the 627 01:01:51,119 --> 01:01:58,559 RPC requirements in mind. Uh the edge of our property is in the furthest out 628 01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:02,559 district that's of influence. Um and they had no concerns of height 629 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:07,799 restrictions with how far east our our development is from the airport. Thank 630 01:02:04,799 --> 01:02:07,799 you. 631 01:02:21,359 --> 01:02:28,640 » Is there has it been addressed or is there any concern with light from this 632 01:02:26,799 --> 01:02:32,240 impact in the airport operations? >> We've we've discussed it. Ultimately, it 633 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:36,240 goes to the operations. Again, we'll be mindful of those kind of things in 634 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:40,000 consideration. Um, yeah, no search lights in the sky. Uh, we understand 635 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:45,720 there'll be some restrictions uh with being a good neighbor at the airport. 636 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,720 » Okay. Thank you. 637 01:02:52,319 --> 01:02:57,559 » More discussion. Okay.
