00:11:26,399 proposed open space from planning perspective this 128 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,240 development was designed sensitively to meet 129 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:34,959 requirement as stated in the pud requirement for the preliminary site 130 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,680 plan in deerfield township zoning resolution 131 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:47,440 and board action there are 18 conditions 132 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:53,279 um as proposed in the staff report that was provided to you 133 00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:59,200 that's concluded the presentation sam hell is here and myself will try to 134 00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:59,200 answer any question you may have 135 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:06,320 thank you questions that i do actually um so there 136 00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:11,600 was a little confusion the past couple of meetings about on the staff report 137 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,839 page 14. might you have that my class yes 138 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:28,240 on page 14 in the first paragraph where it says most of those uses are permitted 139 00:12:25,839 --> 00:12:33,120 either by right or by specific standards in the neighborhood business district 140 00:12:29,839 --> 00:12:36,160 except for the multi-family do you have the same page i have yes i 141 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,760 do can you maybe expand on what that means 142 00:12:38,079 --> 00:12:47,600 i've seen a lot of confusion around that statement that's a legitimate confusion 143 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:53,839 yes absolutely i have seen it's typo you think it's a type of absolutely okay 144 00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:53,839 assam do you agree 145 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,720 multi-family multi-family is permitted 146 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,839 with the condition that it's above 147 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:09,360 commercial so that's why that statement is in there 148 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:14,560 so it has to be under straight zoning it has to be 149 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,639 above the first level of commercial so commercials on tylersville directly 150 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:23,680 behind would be multi-family that's what you're saying 151 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:28,000 no so if it was a straight neighborhood business zone it would have 152 00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:33,360 to be like a first level store second level three level the only way you can 153 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:38,880 the only way residential is permitted with commercials would be 154 00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:42,320 you know stacking essentially yeah so a mixed-use building is what you would 155 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,560 have to have under straight zone 156 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:52,320 and there's a percentage that is capped for 157 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,279 the residential component of any type of mixed use 158 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,639 development based on 159 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:02,199 the overall square footage of the buildings 160 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:11,680 when the confusion comes that we went right to page 14 yes it's in confusion 161 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:17,760 but if you go back to page 13 when it was it's explained that the current 162 00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:23,440 proposed use is for a horizontal um 163 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:28,160 of mixed use horizontal which means not like what's required like the first 164 00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:32,959 floor commercial and multi-family on top or residential anchor 165 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,959 okay 166 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:43,240 yes sorry that's why i want to pay and the whole thing makes sense 167 00:14:40,000

township is currently in the process of updating its comprehensive 194 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,600 plan via the becoming deerfield initiative 195 00:16:54,079 --> 00:17:00,160 the becoming deerfield initiative's proposed landing's designation for this 196 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:04,240 particular site is area b2 which recommends a mix of uses that will 197 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,760 provide for gradual transition from tylersville road to the residential 198 00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:12,400 subdivision to the north known as rosemont cell 199 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:16,640 as illustrated on our site plan the proposed development as mixed use in 200 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:20,480 nature provides for gradual step down and use intensity incorporates sound 201 00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:24,640 planning principles and demonstrates consistency with the 202 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:28,640 current pattern of development that's occurred along this portion of the 203 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:33,919 tylersville road corridor as you will see the commercial component 204 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:41,840 of our site is located along tylersville road which is a major thoroughfare 205 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:46,000 essentially connecting i-71 with i-75 so we're proposing three commercial 206 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:50,080 buildings with a mix of uses that could consist of retail 207 00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:53,520 restaurant office space and some medical uses as 208 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,440 well we also have the clubhouse building for 209 00:17:55,919 --> 00:18:01,440 the apartment community that will sit north of the commercial uses along 210 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:05,679 tylersville road as well the clubhouse will feature 211 00:18:03,679 --> 00:18:08,880 a slew of amenities that we'll touch on later as well as leasing and management 212 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:13,760 offices the primary point of access for this 213 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:18,559 development will be via a signalized access point at tylersville 214 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,840 road and fireside drive and then as haifa mentioned in her staff 215 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,640 report the 216 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:29,520 warren county engineer's office is requiring we provide a 217 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:37,120 gated access point from this site to thornberry court a gated access will be 218 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,120 for emergency services vehicles only 219 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:46,080 as i mentioned the commercial uses as we head north will step down and 220 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:50,080 transition and transition to two-story multi-family buildings in the middle of 221 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:54,400 the site and then further transition to a very 222 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:58,880 robust landscape buffer with mounting and a privacy fence 223 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,960 near the northern border of the site a landscaped mount will be approximately 224 00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:07,039 70 feet wide and approximately nine feet in height 225 00:19:03,919 --> 00:19:11,360 with a six foot high privacy fence being installed on top of the mount 226 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,600 the proposed landscape mound is consistent with the transition section 227 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,120 of the vision for 2035 comprehensive plan which states that landscape buffers 228 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,640 fences and or walls should be used between 229 00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:25,640 adjacent developments of different land uses 230 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:33,679 i mentioned earlier about the the 231 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:38,160 vehicular accessibility i wanted to touch on the robust network of 232 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,919 pedestrian infrastructure we're proposing to install throughout this 233 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,840 development as you can see we have sidewalks 234 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:50,320 throughout the entire development to promote 235 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:54,160 pedestrian walkability from for the residents here 236 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:59,200 and to access various uses throughout the 237 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:04,960 residential component and also to be able to access the commercial buildings 238 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:09,520 along tylersville and also get access to the sidewalk system that we will tie 239 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:14,720 into that's already installed along portions of tylersville road 240 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,240 the foregoing will promote walkability and is consistent with the circulations 241 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,919 and connections guidelines within the vision for 2030 242 00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:25,840 2035 comprehensive plan which says the vehicular pedestrian 243 00:20:23,679 --> 00:20:29,600 connectivity should be provided between existing and new developments to avoid 244 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,840 creation of isolated islands of development 245 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,320 initially um 246 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,840 you know there were there was talk about connecting here uh the red that was a 247 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,960 concern of the residents which we'll touch on later and the warren county 248 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,480 engineer uh the warren county engineer's office 249 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:50,559 simply said just that we can gate it off and make it 250 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:54,159 emergency access only in terms of storm water management we'll 251 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,600 have detention basins in both the southeast and northwest corners of the 252 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,440 site here's a detention pond 253 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:05,440 at the southeast corner of the site and another smaller one at the northwest 254 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,799 corner of the site the detention basin at the southeast 255 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:12,240 corner of the site will have a walking trail around it that will tie into the 256 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:17,440 rest of our pedestrian sidewalk 257 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,400 system we have provided for a very generous amount of open space on the 258 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,400 site the deerfield township ped zoning 259 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:29,200 regulations require 20 percent of open space with 25 percent of that open space 260 00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:32,799 being designated is active in terms of total open space on our 261 00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:37,919 proposed plan we're far exceeding what is required is 262 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:42,720 we have provided total open space of approximately 263 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:47,760 6.76 acres which is equal to 38.5 percent uh total open space 264 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,720 which which is significantly higher than the 20 percent requirement with 3.235 265 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:58,240 acres of that uh being designated as 266 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:01,200 active open space which is equal to 48 um 267 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:05,039 of the total open space being designated as active which is significantly higher 268 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:08,799 than the 25 percent requirement in the zoning 269 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,320 code the mis the mixed use nature of the 270 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,840 proposed development the overall site design and the plentiful open space 271 00:22:14,159 --> 00:22:20,960 provided are all consistent with goal numbers three and five contained within 272 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:25,520 the vision for 2035 plan goal number three is identified as township identity 273 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:29,440 and states promote mixed use plan development through community character 274 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:33,200 and land-use guidelines and the zoning resolution to create neighborhoods with 275 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:38,159 distinct identities goal number five is title parts and open 276 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:41,760 space suggests suggests to promote the retention of 277 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:46,400 open space which can be used for active and passive purposes and the private 278 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:50,080 development process the site layout and as you will see next the architecture 279 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:55,159 will both serve to create a unique sense of place with plentiful green space and 280 00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:55,159 walkability 281 00:22:55,919 --> 00:23:01,360 our vision for the multi-family component of the site 282 00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:04,640 is to create an architectural design that mimics high-end single-family homes 283 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,440 currently seen in the region 284 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:11,600 we're proposing what's known as a farmhouse style aesthetic that is that 285 00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:15,440 is inspired by current upscale single-family home designs 286 00:23:13,679 --> 00:23:19,280 examples of this style can be found throughout deerfield township including 287 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:25,360 several examples from the kensington subdivision which hosted home in 2019. 288 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:31,760 next you fought the the next few slides just showed some 289 00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:34,960 examples of farmhouse architecture within single-family home product that 290 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,159 served as the inspiration 291 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,840 for the design that we came up with for the multi-family buildings on our parcel 292 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,919 so there's an actual 293 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:49,039 elevation of what we're proposing for the 294 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:52,240 multi-family component the high quality architecture is 295 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,799 consistent with the guideline within the vision for 2035 comp plan that states 296 00:23:55,039 --> 00:24:00,880 development should re-analyze building materials and other similar features to 297 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:04,000 ensure the projects function efficiently and effectively 298 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:08,320 as you can see the buildings exhibit a far farmhouse style of architecture 299 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:12,799 our two stories in haydn have pitched roots they were designed to mimic the 300 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:16,080 look of a single family home we plan on incorporating two to three 301 00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:18,559 different color schemes in order to create an appropriate architectural 302 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,240 rhythm throughout the site and there's 303 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:26,159 a few slides that show some of the proposed color combinations 304 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,600 the proposed architectural styling 305 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:42,320 is consistent with the transitions guideline contained in the vision for 306 00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:46,720 2035 comprehensive plan which states that infill new redevelopment projects 307 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:52,080 should be compatible with existing or planned adjacent land uses in terms of 308 00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:55,440 size height scale materials and design elements 309 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,960 the image currently on the screen is actually a photorealistic digital 310 00:24:57,919 --> 00:25:02,240 image that was 311 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:06,400 super this 312 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,880 the these are real wireframe models of our architectural drawings that were 313 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:14,400 then superimposed on drone aerial photography 314 00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:17,679 so you could really get a sense for what this development is going to look like 315 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,919 in in in the real world not just on a flat 316 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,520 elevation drawing i think this rendering 317 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:29,679 while it's a little bit outdated because this is from the original site plan that 318 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:34,960 we submitted back in early in the year which shows 30 town 319 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:38,480 homes along the northern property line which we'll talk about 320 00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:42,799 later we've actually eliminated those to create a larger buffer but i think if 321 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:47,919 you look at the middle of the site and the commercial uses along 322 00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:51,760 tylersville they blend in very well with the existing uses 323 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,640 the buildings are two stories in height have pitched roofs 324 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,240 which are similar to the single-family homes 325 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,720 located to the north and then the commercial buildings are very similar to 326 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:08,320 the commercial uses that you see along tylersville road 327 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,320 both east and west of this site 328 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,080 uh as i mentioned we have made some changes to the site plan which we'll 329 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:18,240 summarize later but i'd like to point out that while 330 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,320 this image includes conceptual architectural renderings for the 331 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:27,840 commercial portion of the site we would bring in actual 332 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:31,360 commercial renderings um or actual renderings for the commercial uses at 333 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:36,480 the stage two um at the stage two you know for for 334 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:41,360 stage two's any commission approval while for multi-family we can develop 335 00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:45,919 elevations and we know exactly who our target market is with commercial uses 336 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:51,200 it's it's different because often uh the design of a of a commercial 337 00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:54,320 building is user driven it's market driven so 338 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,799 these are just conceptual what the buildings could look like but ultimately 339 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:05,200 the users that would be attracted to the site will have some influence on on 340 00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:09,440 the architectural aesthetic of these buildings 341 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:13,840 the nature of commercial development as i mentioned 342 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:18,480 is user driven we're already seeing significant interest from commercial 343 00:27:16,159 --> 00:27:22,399 uses for this location and we're very confident that the commercial space 344 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:27,679 we're proposing on tylersville road will fill very quickly given the site's 345 00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:30,880 visibility along tylersville convenient access and pedestrian-friendly mixed-use 346 00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:35,360 design that will 347 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:39,039 that will allow for pedestrian access and the signalized 348 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:44,000 access point on tylersville road will allow for very easy and convenient 349 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:44,000 vehicular access 350 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,919 the apartment homes you're proposing on the site will be designed to appeal to 351 00:27:48,159 --> 00:27:54,640 both working professionals and empty nesters who are renters by choice and 352 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:57,840 demand a maintenance free lifestyle that apartment living provides 353 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:06,320 our plans call for a mix of both one and two bedroom floor plans the one bedroom 354 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:11,679 floor plans will generally range in size from 775 to 930 square feet with a rent 355 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:16,320 range of twelve fifty to fourteen hundred dollars a month all the two 356 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:20,080 bedroom floor plans which will all the two veteran floor plans also have two 357 00:28:17,919 --> 00:28:23,279 full bathrooms those generally would range in size from eleven hundred and 358 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,200 thirty to twelve hundred fifty square feet with a rent range of a pro of 359 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:30,799 approximately sixteen seventy five to eighteen 360 00:28:28,159 --> 00:28:34,080 fifty per month we've developed two other high-end apartment communities in 361 00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:37,760 deerfield township over the last few years we've found that empty nesters 362 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,440 find our two-bedroom floor plans very attractive we expect similar demand 363 00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:46,240 levels from empty nesters at this community which is consistent with goal 364 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:50,799 number seven of the vision for 2035 plan called housing quality and diversity 365 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:54,000 goal number seven states that new development should promote 366 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:58,240 housing types that are attractive for older adults and close proximity to 367 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:03,120 groceries retail and healthcare facilities to increase mobility options 368 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:06,240 outside of auto dependency the residential component of this 369 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:10,320 development will provide an attractive housing alternative crafty nesters who 370 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,880 are renters by choice and wish to downsize into a housing choice that is 371 00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:18,480 100 percent maintenance-free the pedestrian infrastructure that we 372 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:22,640 that will be provided within our development will connect to adjacent 373 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:27,039 pedestrian infrastructure will provide walkability to retail restaurant and 374 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,600 several healthcare uses including a pharmacy 375 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:36,000 each apartment home will feature 9-foot ceilings throughout quartz or granite 376 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:42,320 countertops in every kitchen and bathroom stainless steel appliances led 377 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:45,760 lighting washers and dryers many many apartment communities only come 378 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,520 equipped with the hookups but we actually provide a full size 379 00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:52,880 washer and dryer in every every home within our 380 00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:56,320 communities the apartment community will be fully 381 00:29:54,559 --> 00:30:00,080 amenitized and professionally managed with a clubhouse that will feature 382 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,720 on-site leasing and management offices a resident lounge 383 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:07,440 game room co-working space conference room 384 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:12,720 state-of-the-art fitness center pet spa complimentary wi-fi and coffee bar 385 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,840 some of the outdoor amenities that will be included throughout the site 386 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:20,799 are the aforementioned a robust amount of 387 00:30:17,919 --> 00:30:26,640 green space a dog park resort style pool fire pit gaming lawn 388 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,640 and outdoor gathering spaces 389 00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:32,240 it's one thing to tell you how nice the residential component of the proposed 390 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,440 development will be but we'd like to show you some pictures from two other 391 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,640 high-end apartment communities that we've developed in deerfield township 392 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:42,159 over the past few years i'm confident these photos will 393 00:30:40,399 --> 00:30:45,520 effectively illustrate the high quality development we're proposing to build on 394 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,200 this site in each case we took architectural cues 395 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:52,559 from surrounding development to arrive at an appropriate architectural 396 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:56,159 treatment so all the exterior architectural styling of these two 397 00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:00,320 communities is very different than what we're proposing on tylersville road the 398 00:30:58,399 --> 00:31:03,919 interior finishes floor plans and amenities at the proposed 399 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:08,080 development will be very similar to those found at these other communities 400 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:12,640 this first photo on the screen is one of our buildings at one deerfield 401 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:16,559 you can see it's a different style what we're proposing at tylersville but this 402 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,559 this blends in with some of the buildings located in close 403 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:24,559 proximity some of the use is located in close proximity to one deerfield 404 00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:30,159 i'll flip through these quickly that's that's uh that's a photo of our 405 00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:33,679 leasing lounge and leasing lobby at one deerfield 406 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:38,960 there's a photo of the resident lounge space game room 407 00:31:36,399 --> 00:31:42,799 that's our library which which we call our co-working space our library it's 408 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,919 great space for residents to work and collaborate 409 00:31:46,159 --> 00:31:52,880 leveraging off of our high speed complementary wi-fi and powerful usb 410 00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:56,720 ports throughout that space there's a photo of the main lobby of the 411 00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:00,480 building here's a photo of some of our outdoor 412 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:05,440 amenities that's our wine and beer garden at one deerfield 413 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:09,760 this is our fitness center lounge so our fitness center actually has its own 414 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:12,960 lounge where we provide complimentary bottles of water and juices for our 415 00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:18,000 residents there's our fitness center 416 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:22,960 it's a very typical kitchen in one deerfield you can see the quartz 417 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:29,360 countertops 42 inch wall cabinets high end led pendant lighting 418 00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:33,519 this is a typical master bedroom one of our two bedroom units all of our two 419 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:37,200 bedroom units come with a double bowl master vanity which is a really nice 420 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,320 feature all of our bedroom sizes are 421 00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:44,320 are generous and allow for 422 00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:47,919 king-sized beds it's not a very exciting photo but shows 423 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:51,039 just the very generous amount of closet space that we 424 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,640 provide in our bedrooms closet space is actually 425 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,080 very very important although not not too 426 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,039 exciting it's something that's very important to to 427 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:08,399 our residents it's a photo of a laundry room these next slides that are that's 428 00:33:05,919 --> 00:33:14,320 an exterior photo of the grandstone grandstone once again is in a different 429 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:18,399 part of the township we took cues from the surroundings to arrive at an 430 00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:22,080 appropriate architectural treatment this is much more traditional than what we're 431 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:26,559 proposing at tylersville road there's a photo of our pool it's great 432 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:32,000 great space that our residents love there's a photo of a dog park a resident 433 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:37,200 lounge at the grandstone this is green space courtyard between 434 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,480 two of the buildings at the grandstones it's a great space for residents to 435 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,960 relax socialize hang out 436 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:50,559 throughout this process we have 437 00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:55,600 listened to many concerns from neighbors 438 00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:59,120 um we reached out to the rosemont south 439 00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:02,159 homeowners association in march to schedule a 440 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,760 really in a formal for unfortunately we couldn't do it in a 441 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:11,040 face-to-face fashion was done via zoom on march 29th 442 00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:13,919 and we invited you know kind of uh gave a brief overview of what we're proposing 443 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,599 and invited residents of rosemont south or any other 444 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:23,440 nearby subdivisions to to ask us questions 445 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:28,960 we also heard additional concerns from residents that were voiced during the 446 00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:32,079 three zoning commission meetings one of the 447 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:35,280 first concerns we heard was traffic i'd like to point out that we've engaged 448 00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:40,960 bearer vector engineers to complete a traffic impact study a traffic impact 449 00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:44,560 study has been completed and submitted to the warren county 450 00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:47,119 engineer's office it's been reviewed and approved by the warren county engineers 451 00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:50,480 office and we as the applicant would be 452 00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:54,960 required to make any traffic improvements 453 00:34:51,919 --> 00:34:58,000 per warren county engineer's office requirements 454 00:34:56,399 --> 00:35:04,240 it's also important to note that apartments do generate less peak 455 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,560 impact the retail restaurant or office space 456 00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:14,720 another neighbor concern that we heard initially with schools 457 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,240 it's important to note that the proposed departments will be very similar 458 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,839 although wrapped up in a different package they'll be very similar to what 459 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,800 we've built at the grand student one deerfield 460 00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:31,200 both of those communities as well as this community are designed to appeal 461 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:36,480 to ranchers by choice who are typically working professionals or empty nesters 462 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:41,280 so we find that the impact of schools from the grand stone 463 00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:46,240 and one deerfield has been very minimal as further illustrated by this slide the 464 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:50,640 urban land institute in conjunction with the national multi 465 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:54,480 housing council and the sierra club along with the american institute of 466 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:59,680 architects published a study called high density development myth in fact the 467 00:35:57,359 --> 00:36:06,000 study concluded that single-family homes averaged 64 children per 100 units while 468 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:10,640 apartments averaged 21 children per 100 units apartments generate real estate 469 00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:14,480 tax revenue for local school districts while generating very little additional 470 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:17,760 demand on schools this evidence is further supported by 471 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:22,079 the fact that very few children live at the grandstand in one deerfield both 472 00:36:19,839 --> 00:36:26,800 communities have rates of children per 100 units that are significantly below 473 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,480 the national averages reported so the grandstone 474 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,760 uh at last check was was just under seven 475 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:37,599 per 100 units and one deer field was only at approximately 2.91 476 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:42,000 children per 100 units so these these two 477 00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:45,920 developments generate significant amount of tax 478 00:36:43,839 --> 00:36:49,599 revenue for local schools without without providing much in the way of any 479 00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:53,200 additional burden another neighbor concern we heard was 480 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:56,000 property values there's another study that was 481 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,680 commissioned by the national association of home builders that found 482 00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:04,800 the value of single-family homes within 300 feet of a multi-family community 483 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:08,960 increased 2.9 percent per year compared with value single-family homes 484 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:14,160 not near a multi-family community increasing at only 2.7 per year 485 00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:17,359 the study concluded the possible reasons for this 486 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,720 are the new apartments are an indicator that an area's economy is vibrant and 487 00:37:19,359 --> 00:37:24,800 growing i think that's certainly the case in deerfield township 488 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:29,440 multi-family housing may increase pool the pool of potential future home buyers 489 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:33,119 creating more demand for homes we'll touch on that again in a moment a 490 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,720 new multi-family especially as part of mixed use often makes an area more 491 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:40,720 attractive than other communities that have fewer housing and retail choices i 492 00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:43,680 just want to touch for a moment that we we find 493 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:48,480 um and have found at the grandstand of one deerfield that they they contribute 494 00:37:45,839 --> 00:37:52,960 very positively to what michael den and i call the 495 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:56,640 circulation of housing so we've had many people move into the say the 496 00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:00,560 grandstone it's a little older than one deerfield it has a five and a half year 497 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:04,480 almost six year operating history people that move in maybe they work for procter 498 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:08,560 and gamble maybe they work for luxxotica maybe they work for cintas 499 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,480 intelligated you name it any of the area employers 500 00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:13,440 and you know they might be single at the 501 00:38:11,839 --> 00:38:17,200 time they're working professionals and maybe maybe they find a significant 502 00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:20,560 other during their time living at the grandstone and then 503 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:23,599 eventually they might they might have a child and they've then outgrown the 504 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,960 apartment and when somebody moves out they have to 505 00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:30,880 provide a form to us called a notice of intent to move out and on that form they 506 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:35,920 state their forwarding address so we can return their security deposit and we 507 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:39,680 find that a significant percentage of the time 508 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:44,000 those folks are buying a home with a mason ohio mailing address which 509 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:48,640 means it could be deerfield township it could be mason 510 00:38:45,359 --> 00:38:53,359 but it's in in the area um and and many of those are in deerfield 511 00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:57,040 township some are mason but the point is these folks 512 00:38:55,599 --> 00:39:00,320 are are choosing for their first many of their first time 513 00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:03,359 living in this area to live in an apartment 514 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:07,040 they love living here they see the great community the deerfield is and all the 515 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:09,440 amenities and all the the community amenities but also the amenities in 516 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:14,320 terms of shopping and retail and restaurants and 517 00:39:11,359 --> 00:39:18,079 park space like like hotel and then you know when they're ready to 518 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:22,240 purchase they're they're keeping their roots in 519 00:39:19,359 --> 00:39:26,560 in the area so i think that's speaks volumes 520 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:32,240 it's also important to note that the newest section of beacon hill which is 521 00:39:29,359 --> 00:39:37,280 the townhome condominium community along wilkins boulevard the last section of 522 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:40,160 that is located at the intersection of parkway drive 523 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,720 and wilkins boulevard and one deerfield 524 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:51,280 commenced construction during the third quarter of 2018 and that's also when 525 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:54,720 beacon hill was finishing their last phase i think it's important to note 526 00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:58,960 from this slide the number of sales of condominiums at 527 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:02,720 beacon hill that occurred after one deerfield commenced construction i know 528 00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:06,480 these footnotes at the bottom are hard to read there were actually three 529 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:10,160 three sales that actually sold 530 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:14,240 while one deerfield was under construction and then sold subsequently 531 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:18,960 when one deerfield was even further under construction and those three sales 532 00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:22,240 all sold for more after one deerfield started construction than they did prior 533 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:25,440 to one deerfield starting construction so i think that also 534 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,960 um speaks uh 535 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,079 in a in a positive way about some of the concerns 536 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:37,280 that we heard and the living near rental housing options does 537 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:41,680 not have a negative impact on property values 538 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:44,720 another concern we heard was safety i think it's once again it's important 539 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:49,599 to note the operating history of the grand stone and also the the more 540 00:40:48,319 --> 00:40:53,520 the newer operating history of one deerfield but they're both very quiet 541 00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:58,319 and extremely well maintained communities and each has been a very 542 00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:02,880 positive addition to deerfield township both the grandstand and one deerfield 543 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:06,640 are adjacent to owner-occupied homes it's important to note that all of our 544 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:10,640 residents undergo stringent credit and criminal background screening 545 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:14,160 and it's important to remember that our residents are making a lifestyle 546 00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:17,920 decision to not own for many reasons including busy careers 547 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:21,319 and a desire for a maintenance-free living experience 548 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,839 there have also been some studies done on 549 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,720 studies that compare crime rates in single-family homes 550 00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:36,640 versus crime rates and apartments the particular the 551 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,920 the most well-known study was conducted by the arizona multi-family housing 552 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,520 association and concluded that the perception of 553 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:47,359 more crime around apartment communities many times 554 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:52,560 comes from the practice of reporting crime statistics by address for example 555 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:55,760 apartment community with 100 units at the same address so it might be the 556 00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:00,480 same same street address but each unit has 557 00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:05,359 each apartment home within the community has its own unit number 558 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:08,640 but they may be reported as is 559 00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:13,760 you know several incidences at the same address but it might just be that you've 560 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:17,599 got 100 100 homes at one address the study concluded that when police 561 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:21,440 data is analyzed on a per unit basis instead of a per address basis the rate 562 00:42:19,839 --> 00:42:24,960 of police activity in apartment communities is no worse than 563 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:29,280 single-family subdivisions and in many cases is lower than single-family 564 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:33,040 residential areas at this point i'd like to introduce 565 00:42:31,839 --> 00:42:37,440 michael den as i mentioned earlier michael 566 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,880 is with market foresight and he's going to share a few of his conclusions 567 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,880 regarding demand for the proposed development 568 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,280 up here it is 569

evening 582 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:13,839 i've been serving your township for well over 10 years 583 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:17,040 i've been an advisor to the other projects mentioned this evening the 584 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:22,640 grand stone at one deerfield 585 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:26,880 i've been serving teams and civic leadership like yours for 21 years 586 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,880 now 587 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:32,960 i'm currently looking at projects in mason lebanon 588 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:37,280 blue ash in westchester i've served of late the cities of hamilton and 589 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:41,119 middletown i just want to establish a level of 590 00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:45,599 trust and who i represent represent you your neighbors 591 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:49,440 your future and as an expert by dealing data 592 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,440 and experience 593 00:45:51,119 --> 00:45:57,280 the result of that is that our household has changed 594 00:45:53,920 --> 00:46:02,560 forced in part by the downturn in 2007 financial crisis 2008 through about 2010 595 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:07,040 and that downturn revealed that we had uncovered a brand new household 596 00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:11,200 throughout our region an affluent upscale renter renter by 597 00:46:09,119 --> 00:46:14,640 choice we'll come back to that phrase a little bit 598 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:20,400 then we had the 14-month pandemic to really put a punctuation point on that 599 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:24,720 working from home being huddled in our home was our office it was our 600 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,720 our place of worship it was our classroom 601 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,319 i've got a few slides here probably too many for tonight 602 00:46:38,079 --> 00:46:44,319 i start this assessment like the hundreds of others that i've done 603 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:48,720 and the blue pin you see is the site and i create for the township the 604 00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:52,079 surrounding neighborhoods uh some trade areas 605 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:56,000 for your neighbors the right area you see is a nine minute drive in any 606 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:59,200 direction from the site the green reading you see is an 607 00:46:57,359 --> 00:47:02,720 additional six minutes of area we can influence just kind of where i start 608 00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:07,200 looking at the profiles 609 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,680 now i subscribe to all the demographics that 610 00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:13,359 you've all seen before and i have all these tables here and i start to learn 611 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:16,960 the language but i don't rest on them very often 612 00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:21,119 it turns out that my value that i've learned over the years 613 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:25,599 is to before i get into the housing stock and square footage and two 614 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:28,960 bedrooms or granite countertops i want to take the time to learn who's 615 00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:31,760 behind the front door in your township 616 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:38,400 not just by a census number not just by any camera age 617 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:42,800 and there's a service i employ using market segmentation it's called 618 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:45,599 tapestry by esri another license that i have 619 00:47:44,079 --> 00:47:49,760 and i've used this for many many years what i found is that when you can 620 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:54,240 combine deep data not just census data 621 00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:59,359 but school records voting records credit card usage 622 00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:02,000 travel internet you can paint a picture anywhere in the 623 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:06,800 country on in your neighborhood the kind of 624 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:10,800 lifestyle who's behind that front door now this service provides 67 different 625 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:15,280 segments they'll have goofy names like brightness professionalism but i use 626 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:18,160 this because it helps me help you understand who's nearby what's 627 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,119 happened since the pandemic perhaps what's 628 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:25,760 happened since the downturn what's happened last 629 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,720 20 years within that 630 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:32,839 magnet drive today 631 00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:37,359 our 30 000 households and 727 by measure 632 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:41,760 rental households one out of four of the households in that red area 633 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:44,319 are renters and they rent something they might rent a house they might rent 634 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:47,280 your condo they might be in an old duplex they 635 00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:51,839 might live in a duplex and rent out the other side 636 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,839 we'll get into housing's talking 637 00:48:54,160 --> 00:49:01,200 in that green ring a little further out of area influence are twice the number 638 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:05,520 of renters almost fifteen thousand that just describes a depth of market 639 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:08,880 and when i brief clients like the silva medic company 640 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:12,880 they want to first understand what's the character and depth of the people we're 641 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:16,160 going to serve before we think about land price 642 00:49:14,079 --> 00:49:19,520 and zoning and square footage and we did that for this one i was available for 643 00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:23,200 the grandstone and for 644 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:27,119 one deerfield and when you start the language this way 645 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:30,559 what happens is you begin to erase some of the old attitudes 646 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:35,440 the old stigmas about renters 647 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:39,280 the cries of low income of higher crime 648 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:42,240 of lower values can quickly be 649 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:46,800 countered by significant data that describes who 650 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:50,880 these householders really are the reality is today that we have a very 651 00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:55,520 valued householder that chooses to rent it's not about income 652 00:49:52,400 --> 00:50:00,160 it's usually about a smaller family size in almost every case it's about mobility 653 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:04,720 i'm going to be here for two years if i choose to stay as ryan very 654 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:08,640 eloquently said that the probability of now then buying 655 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:12,680 close by in your township because of the existing grids is very high 656 00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:19,760 we say renter by choice because in fact and i have details later if you wish 657 00:50:18,319 --> 00:50:25,440 the renters were talking about starting at 1200 1300 1400 a month can afford to 658 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,880 buy the vast majority of houses here in deerfield township because also had the 659 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,040 down payment of course but in terms of that 660 00:50:31,839 --> 00:50:38,720 they choose to be here as a renter not because of 661 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:42,000 their income because their connection so i'm going to represent you i've got a 662 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:45,359 few more slides to discuss represent your household your 663 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:49,200 constituents and frankly i want to represent 196 households can't be here 664 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:53,079 tonight because they don't get live here 665 00:50:54,240 --> 00:51:01,440 my job for the clients of you tonight is to measure this 666 00:50:58,240 --> 00:51:03,920 accurately some of the segments deal with people you understand one of 667 00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:07,680 the segments i looked at was called enterprising professionals they're 668 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:11,119 throughout the township they look like the young couple there 669 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:15,839 they like attached the housing actually looks like our applicant's housing 670 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:21,280 and throughout the nation they're about a median age half above and half below 671 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:24,480 35 years old about 2.48 in household size they don't yet have 672 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:27,680 children and 673 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:30,160 they don't yet have a mouse that works there we go 674 00:51:30,319 --> 00:51:35,359 i found the adjacent households fit this profile 675 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:39,839 by the inside about half of them choose to rent their home 676 00:51:37,839 --> 00:51:44,240 and i found these in great numbers around the side of the new township 677 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,520 they're not found everywhere they're found in 678 00:51:45,359 --> 00:51:54,000 by docs there you can see the west coast over to new england down in atlanta 679 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,000 columbus cincinnati 680 00:51:54,400 --> 00:52:00,400 this slide just shows in that same perimeter area that these two 681 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:04,079 neighborhoods one just south of site the majority 682 00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:07,920 of all the householders in there are these enterprising professionals what i 683 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,319 do with this in terms of metrics this is where 684 00:52:09,359 --> 00:52:15,359 numbers offer some clarity yes for all the 685 00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:19,839 segments i can find i do some math and i create a table that measures demand i 686 00:52:18,079 --> 00:52:23,200 look at their lifestyle i look at a threshold income of say 687 00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:27,520 twelve hundred dollars and i'll turn to my client or i'll turn 688 00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:34,160 to the board of trustees and say by conservative measure nearby 689 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:37,920 we've found a few thousand by a lifestyle they're existing renters 690 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:43,599 and they have the income to afford fourteen hundred dollars one month 691 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:47,280 lenders and underwriters use this development teams even the architects 692 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:51,920 use this on the supply side i mentioned who who 693 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:54,960 who rents nearby 7 500 folks let me show you 694 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:59,040 in an area by that blue shade which covers pretty much all of that core area 695 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:03,119 of nine minutes be kind of hard to see but the vast 696 00:53:00,559 --> 00:53:09,760 majority of rental housing stock are scaled apartments older apartments over 697 00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:12,720 200 units big vast all of the same there's a small share of rental homes 698 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,839 and detached homes conducts and so on 699 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:23,200 i can show you where they are what jumps out of me as i see this plot 700 00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:26,640 all the symbology you see are scaled multi-family the red dots are those that 701 00:53:25,119 --> 00:53:30,160 are coming they're in development right now 702 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:34,160 is in the crossroads of your township in a connector between the two uh 703 00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:38,720 there's there's no no place to land it's in this corridor 704 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:42,880 i'm not sure you can see my cursor corridor down to the south of my 705 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:45,920 client's minutes over towards mesa a lot going on over here near union 706 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:49,920 center over in butler county 707 00:53:48,319 --> 00:53:56,920 and a little bit further north by liberty all the players 708 00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:56,920 many of these developers are my clients 709 00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:06,319 i can also plot for you rental condominiums and pockets of condom 710 00:54:04,319 --> 00:54:10,880 projects where the absentee owner is now renting you their economy 711 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:16,559 all this is meant to do on the supply side is trying balance if i find 7 500 712 00:54:13,839 --> 00:54:22,720 runners i want to find 7 500 occupied rental housing stock and see 713 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:27,119 where the unmet demand is just for fun there all those red dots 714 00:54:24,559 --> 00:54:29,920 are rental detached homes in in and around the township 715 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:36,160 may be hard to see and i that's hard for me to see 716 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:38,960 but from there one of the key intersections i offer any development 717 00:54:38,079 --> 00:54:43,599 team any planning director 718 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:47,520 politician or lender is the opportunity that lies ahead 719 00:54:47,839 --> 00:54:54,559 for a new development here for those that can afford over fourteen hundred 720 00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:58,880 dollars a month i found over five thousand target renters 721 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:02,960 in the core market i found only about 2800 722 00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:07,440 scale departments at those rents or higher in fact if i count only new 723 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:10,880 projects it's only about 1600 and they're going to ask me what are they 724 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:14,799 running there's two answers one is 725 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:18,880 they couldn't find the right apartment that's close to them so they'll run a 726 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:22,160 house so they'll rent your old condo but by and large what mostly happens is 727 00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:25,599 these very deserving households that want to be in your township that 728 00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:29,359 probably have come from the township and create that rotation that ryan 729 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:33,599 talked about because they settled they could afford 1400 a month easily 730 00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:37,599 but the best department they could find was 11.50 so that's what they're renting 731 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:42,880 and when you think about it the risk horizon for those families and 732 00:55:39,119 --> 00:55:42,880 households is only 12 months 733 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:50,240 upscale renters the most liquid residents and and fuel for property 734 00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:54,400 values and new development in our country 735 00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:58,799 and in terms of detail because i want to serve you an ongoing basis 736 00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:03,520 i provide a proprietary study to my client i'd be available with their 737 00:56:01,359 --> 00:56:06,400 consent to show you more detail about this 738 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:10,400 especially as their designs evolve but we can zoom down to the driveway level 739 00:56:08,799 --> 00:56:14,319 the site is over here guys you can see the neighborhoods 740 00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:16,880 and the folks have been here notice that just 741 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:20,400 just northeast of the site is a condominium community where there's a 742 00:56:18,079 --> 00:56:22,880 lot of absenteeism condos 743 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:35,839 i always wanted to be an architect i served some time in the navy before 744 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:40,319 and then got involved in this and but i was i just like architecture 745 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:44,160 i get to sit in the room often with their designers and say that really fits 746 00:56:42,799 --> 00:56:49,040 the fabric and there's really a lot of appeal you can charge more for that they 747 00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:54,319 look here when you say that i find that this this approach the examples they 748 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:58,079 used the the architecture and the message of the building to be 749 00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,880 cutting edge for all the developments that i got to serve 750 00:57:02,319 --> 00:57:06,520 what questions would you have with me 751 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:22,960 myself available either throughout this hearing or later as allowed to speak for 752 00:57:21,599 --> 00:57:27,200 your market the competition and what has been 753 00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:30,079 clearly measured as an unmet demand for these kind of 754 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:35,000 rental units in your township 755 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,000 thank you very much 756 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:56,799 how do we get ours back up would you go back to your 757 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,799 powerpoint yeah 758 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,400 yes 759 00:58:11,830 --> 00:58:14,989 [Music] 760 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,520 yes 761 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:53,440 thank you michael for that excellent information 762 00:58:51,839 --> 00:58:57,920 the site plan that's currently on the screen shows the original site plan that 763 00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:02,319 we submitted back in january or february 764 00:59:00,319 --> 00:59:06,880 as you can see this site plan included 30 765 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:10,720 two-story three-bedroom two-and-a-half bath town 766 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:14,559 homes near the northern near the northern property line 767 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:18,799 and a smaller buffer zone behind it 768 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:25,040 i'd like to talk about some of the changes and revisions that we made in 769 00:59:20,559 --> 00:59:25,040 the site plan as we've continued to 770 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:30,880 listen to to feedback from our neighbors 771 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:43,440 we we removed these 30 townhomes um along the northern property line 772 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:48,240 and that resulted in a decrease from 773 00:59:44,839 --> 00:59:54,240 216 homes to 196 homes and an overall bedroom crown a bedroom 774 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:57,119 count decrease of 70. the other thing on the original site 775 00:59:55,839 --> 01:00:05,520 plan because it was a pud we were requesting 776 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:10,480 a variance on parking so deerfield township zoning code for 777 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:14,960 multi-family requires two parking spaces per 778 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:18,400 residential unit irrespective of unit type so 779 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:22,079 irrespective of it being a two bedroom or one bedroom the deerfield township 780 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:27,520 zoning code requires two spaces per unit so when we did the 781 01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:33,680 grand stone or developed the grand stone that's 122 units and we have 782 01:00:30,799 --> 01:00:37,359 two two parking spaces per unit and we are 783 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:42,480 way over parked there um we've done studies when we're at full occupancy 784 01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:47,680 and we're effectively parking at 1.35 to 1.4 spaces per unit 785 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:52,559 same thing with one deerfield one deerfield we were granted a variance 786 01:00:49,599 --> 01:00:56,880 we're about 1.6 spaces per unit at one deerfield and we've done the same kind 787 01:00:54,559 --> 01:01:01,920 of study there and we're right in with a 1.35 to 1.4 spaces per unit which 788 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:06,400 equates to less than one space per bedroom 789 01:01:04,799 --> 01:01:11,359 so when we came in with this original plan 790 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:16,000 we were at about 1.8 1.85 spaces per unit is what we were requesting 791 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:20,960 and we did hear concerns from neighbors that 792 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:23,599 you know they were concerned that we didn't have 793 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:27,839 enough parking we did we had plenty of parking but 794 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:33,520 just belt and suspenders we decided to go back and revise the plan 795 01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:38,640 and and we were able to get rid of the townhomes in the back and do some 796 01:01:36,079 --> 01:01:43,280 other things and we now have two parking spaces per dwelling unit so 797 01:01:41,119 --> 01:01:46,880 we have plenty of parking 798 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:52,319 that's just on the residential component of course for each commercial outlet 799 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:55,839 when we bring those in for stage two depending on the uses 800 01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:00,480 that sort of show up to the dance so to speak we would have um 801 01:01:58,319 --> 01:02:04,960 the part you know we've got a couple restaurants on one outlet then 802 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:08,240 we might need more parking if we've got a medical use 803 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:11,039 on another one we might need less parking but those of course would be 804 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,280 brought in and the parking for those would be 805 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:17,520 the zoning commission would have a chance to scrutinize that during the 806 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:20,480 stage 2 approval process as i mentioned earlier 807 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:24,079 we spent a lot of time this evening talking about the multi-family component 808 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:28,960 that's because we know exactly who our market is 809 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:33,440 we have experience uh with this with this product type and we're able to 810 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:39,520 knowing who our target market is design a unit mix and design an architectural 811 01:02:36,319 --> 01:02:43,599 aesthetic that we know is going to strike a very positive chord with our 812 01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:49,680 target market commercial we're every bit as excited about the commercial 813 01:02:46,799 --> 01:02:54,720 uses avalon tyler's mills we are the uh residential component but it's a 814 01:02:53,119 --> 01:02:59,760 different paradigm and commercial development and in retail in particular 815 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:04,160 it's really user driven so we've already had some very positive conversations 816 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:08,960 with with medical uses and restaurant uses and 817 01:03:06,319 --> 01:03:12,880 as this progresses we're very confident that 818 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:16,559 this will be very high demand space as i mentioned earlier given the 819 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:21,599 accessibility given the pedestrian walkability given its its prominence on 820 01:03:19,039 --> 01:03:25,119 tylersville road given the fact that retailers and restaurants love it when 821 01:03:23,119 --> 01:03:30,720 you've got a captive audience on site in this case 196 homes directly behind it 822 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:33,839 that's a captive audience that can they can 823 01:03:31,599 --> 01:03:39,280 walk to you on a on a daily basis to support your business so 824 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,359 one of the other site plan revisions that we 825 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:46,480 made uh the when we we were showing the 30 826 01:03:44,079 --> 01:03:52,240 town homes we had a buffer zone that was about or 44 feet wide with a six foot 827 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:56,319 high mound by eliminating these town homes which if 828 01:03:54,240 --> 01:04:00,720 you look at the current site plan that's before you this evening by 829 01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:04,319 eliminating those 30 town homes we're now able to increase 830 01:04:02,559 --> 01:04:09,680 the width of the buffer from 44 feet to 100 feet and 831 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:14,160 increase the mound height from six feet to nine feet and as mentioned earlier 832 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:17,599 we're proposing to install a 833 01:04:15,359 --> 01:04:21,520 six foot privacy fence on top of the mountain and of course 834 01:04:19,039 --> 01:04:28,400 we'd have plantings on the mound as well to provide a nice natural buffer 835 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,400 with these changes 836 01:04:29,359 --> 01:04:37,200 let me get this on the screen okay with these changes we're now able to achieve 837 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:41,440 the following distances so the distance from the back 838 01:04:39,599 --> 01:04:45,760 one thing i forgot to mention when when when we got rid of the 30 when 839 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:50,240 we eliminated the 30 town homes increased the buffer and the buffer 840 01:04:48,079 --> 01:04:56,160 width and increased amount height we added 20 detached garage structures 841 01:04:53,119 --> 01:05:00,400 along uh near the northern property line but south of the buffer so you can see 842 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:03,359 those proposed structures there we're proposing 843 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:06,799 20 of those and those you can see those on your site plan 844 01:05:04,799 --> 01:05:10,079 but now when you look at the distance from the back of the proposed attached 845 01:05:08,799 --> 01:05:14,240 garages to the property line 846 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:17,680 where we're at 104 feet when you look at the distance from the 847 01:05:15,599 --> 01:05:23,280 back of the detached garages to the nearest house it's 177 848 01:05:20,839 --> 01:05:27,359 feet when you look at the distance from the nearest dwelling units 849 01:05:25,599 --> 01:05:32,400 to the nearest house it's approximately 259 feet 850 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,680 and as mentioned earlier with these changes we've also significantly 851 01:05:34,559 --> 01:05:37,839 increased our 852 01:05:38,079 --> 01:05:43,440 open space acreage and our active open space acreage as 853 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:47,680 well at one of the zoning commission meetings 854 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:51,920 i believe it was a rosemont south subdivision 855 01:05:49,039 --> 01:05:55,119 resident referenced the typical distance between 856 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:58,319 the houses right here on the east side of sunny drive 857 01:05:56,799 --> 01:06:03,359 so the distance between the back of these houses 858 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:07,440 to the west side of the condominiums on clear water drive 859 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:11,200 so as this can be seen from this side we took a representative measurement the 860 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:15,680 distance from the homes on the east side of sunny drive the back of those homes 861 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:20,079 to the multi-family units to the east is approximately 215 862 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:24,640 feet so by eliminating the town homes 863 01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:28,319 we now have a distance from the north side 864 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:32,640 of our multi-family dwelling units to the south side of the homes on glenstone 865 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:38,559 way of approximately 259 feet 866 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:41,760 which is 44 feet longer than this distance so 867 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:47,440 we've we've exceeded 868 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:51,280 the the comparable uh distance that is kind of on the ground today between the 869 01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:54,720 east the east side of the sunny drive home 870 01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:57,920 uh the the sunny drive homes and the west side of the 871 01:06:56,160 --> 01:07:02,319 of the multifamily along 872 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,319 clear water drive 873 01:07:06,079 --> 01:07:12,400 as i mentioned a moment ago 874 01:07:10,559 --> 01:07:18,559 we've now increased the width of the buffer to 100 feet and now the mound 875 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:22,880 that we're proposing is 70 feet wide once again six foot high privacy fence 876 01:07:21,119 --> 01:07:27,280 on top of the mount for a total peak height of 15 feet 877 01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:31,599 and we're proposing to plant evergreens on the 878 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:31,599 north side of the mountain 879 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,339 [Applause] 880 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:47,760 we also heard safety concerns from residents 881 01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:53,599 relative to the detention pond located here at the north 882 01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:57,760 west corner of the site in response to those safety concerns 883 01:07:55,680 --> 01:08:01,520 we've proposed to install a 884 01:07:58,799 --> 01:08:04,960 privacy fence north of the pond and on this 45 degree angle 885 01:08:03,839 --> 01:08:07,200 heading southwest 886 01:08:06,319 --> 01:08:10,480 and then here 887 01:08:08,079 --> 01:08:14,480 on our property we're proposing to install 888 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:19,679 a a four foot high black aluminum fence so upon to address safety concerns 889 01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:22,000 would be completely fenced 890 01:08:22,839 --> 01:08:30,080 in um the other concern that we heard and we 891 01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:33,759 didn't hear this one really until the um right before the last meeting 892 01:08:32,239 --> 01:08:37,120 was um 893 01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:43,199 residents expressed the concern that the mound here so the 70 foot wide mound 894 01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:47,759 didn't extend all the way 895 01:08:44,719 --> 01:08:52,359 to our western property line and the reason 896 01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:52,359 that 897 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:58,319 it's difficult to do that is because this this this detention pond needs to 898 01:08:57,440 --> 01:09:02,400 be in this location uh we've had bear 899 01:09:00,719 --> 01:09:07,279 becker we've taken last couple weeks to have bear becker our civil engineer do 900 01:09:04,719 --> 01:09:11,120 some further study on the grades and the volumes required on that pond i'm 901 01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:16,080 actually going to invite john del verne who's a principal with bear becker 902 01:09:14,159 --> 01:09:21,600 to to come up and speak to you a little bit about about this pond about the size 903 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:26,799 of it and some ideas we have to to provide a buffer between the north 904 01:09:24,719 --> 01:09:30,759 side of this pond and the resonance to the north so john 905 01:09:34,719 --> 01:09:40,960 the next three slides are really and then there's one more after that it 906 01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:43,960 shows you the cross section okay 907 01:09:49,839 --> 01:09:56,960 good evening again john delbert with fairbacker 6900 towersville road mason 908 01:09:54,640 --> 01:10:01,360 ohio four five zero four zero i have been sworn in 909 01:09:59,679 --> 01:10:05,040 yeah i'd like to try to mention i'd like to share some information about the 910 01:10:03,199 --> 01:10:08,400 stormwater management program for the for the project 911 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:12,719 i have advanced some study of the of the grades and the 912 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:16,080 stormwater analysis 913 01:10:14,159 --> 01:10:20,000 basically an effort to confirm that you know what we're shown on the conceptual 914 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:22,480 pud plan is realistic so 915 01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:25,360 basically we'll start with the drainage area and it's a little hard to see the 916 01:10:24,159 --> 01:10:28,480 unfortunately see the existing topography on this 917 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:32,480 on this site that's what i start with they're actually two distinct drainage 918 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:35,760 areas that we that the project will drain to the 919 01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:40,080 the ridgeline high point of the site really 920 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:43,600 kind of runs like this so everything 921 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:48,239 south and east drains to tylersville road into the roadside ditch ends up in 922 01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:52,239 a culvert at these property line here and heads east 923 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:57,840 everything north and west of this ridgeline 924 01:10:54,800 --> 01:11:01,920 heads north and ends up in a culvert in rosemont it's one two three four right 925 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:06,000 here stashed in there it's hard for me to see from here but a 48 inch culvert 926 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:09,920 pipe that extends into rosemont 927 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:12,400 not only is it it's about seven acres here 928 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:17,199 that drains that way and the other 10 and a half drains this 929 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:21,840 way in addition to that 48 inch that tributary to that 48 inch culvert pipe 930 01:11:19,440 --> 01:11:25,040 is really a large part of this parcel remaining partial to the west it all 931 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:29,360 drains north and runs along the rear property line and ends up in this 48 932 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:32,159 inch culvert so 933 01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:36,080 logically we have our two drainage outlets one of our goals when we're 934 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:39,520 designing sites is to maintain the pre-developed drainage sheds try to 935 01:11:38,159 --> 01:11:43,600 mimic those in the post developed as best as we can we don't always get it 936 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:48,480 exact but we get pretty close so to do that we need to put a detention 937 01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:50,960 basin close to the outlet here can't be up here on the high ridge it's got to be 938 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:54,400 here at the low spots we can capture as much 939 01:11:52,719 --> 01:11:57,920 of our development as possible so we can 940 01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:03,440 control that stormwater rate that we release to the downstream system 941 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:06,960 same here we've got our outlet point here 942 01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:11,760 we've got the potential basin located primarily in the lowest spot of the site 943 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:16,239 the stormwater basins are required by warren county and the ohio epa 944 01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:22,239 they're two separate requirements we usually address both of them in 945 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:26,400 a detention or retention basin moore county stormwater regulations 946 01:12:24,159 --> 01:12:30,960 primarily focus on flood control so we're looking at larger storm events to 947 01:12:28,480 --> 01:12:34,560 control the release from those events usually one year storms to like 100 year 948 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:38,640 storm event then the ohio epa focuses on water 949 01:12:36,719 --> 01:12:42,560 quality so we're talking about more frequent storm events 950 01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:46,080 and smaller storm events than the ones that we look at for flood control 951 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:50,480 so we kind of could get said and accommodate both of those in the 952 01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:55,199 stormwater basins so this is really where 953 01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:58,480 these bases are necessary by regulation i think any 954 01:12:56,400 --> 01:13:02,400 development that would increase or add impervious area to the site would 955 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:05,760 require storm water bases and they i would think even a different plan you 956 01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:09,840 would see a storm water basin in this location and a second one here and 957 01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:14,719 that's the way the right way to design the stormwater program for this site 958 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:17,760 let's see if i can go to the next slide here these are just some blowups of the 959 01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:21,679 two basins this is the one in the northwest corner i just have some more 960 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:24,000 detail on the one in the southeast corner 961 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:30,880 both basins have about the same ponding depth 962 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:34,560 between the normal pool they are white basins between the normal pool and it's 963 01:13:32,719 --> 01:13:38,719 not raining elevation and 100 year elevation about a 964 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:46,000 little over five feet each of storm water depth 965 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:49,440 the good news is my preliminary analysis really confirms the sizes in the 966 01:13:48,239 --> 01:13:53,040 footprints that are shown on the conceptual ped plant it's about the 967 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:56,239 right size very similar in footprint they the 968 01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:59,840 footprint of the water shifts a little bit you have to 969 01:13:57,440 --> 01:14:04,159 accommodate grades to create a berm to create the impoundment so it may shift a 970 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:09,600 little bit but it's really really very consistent with the 971 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,600 conceptual pud site plan 972 01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:17,920 and as ryan mentioned there were some concerns about sidelines 973 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:22,640 in the northwest corner where the large buffer mound here has to terminate 974 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:25,760 so we can construct a detention space at this location 975 01:14:24,159 --> 01:14:28,560 so we decided to do a cross section there 976 01:14:26,719 --> 01:14:32,320 the cross section is plotted along this red line so that's what you see down 977 01:14:30,159 --> 01:14:36,800 below is a slice along the red line looking west 978 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:40,640 so for example for reference this is our north property line for the project that 979 01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:45,199 property line is represented right here by this dashed line 980 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:48,480 center line of that drive aisle right here ceremony on the drive aisle 981 01:14:47,199 --> 01:14:52,480 here in between this the center line and the 982 01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:56,320 north property line is our detention basin it's the low area it's a low area 983 01:14:54,640 --> 01:15:00,480 between these two lines right here represents our detention basin and then 984 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:03,760 to the right of that is that our berm that we're using to create the 985 01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:09,440 impoundment the top of that berm is at an elevation of 874.3 based on 986 01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:14,719 preliminary analysis if you compare that with the elevation of the at the 987 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:19,360 property line at 860 i think it was 868. it's about as little over 6 foot called 988 01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:23,280 6.3 feet in height 989 01:15:20,480 --> 01:15:28,640 so to supplement that um screen at that location we proposed 990 01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:31,920 to put a uh a fence on top of the burner and that fence is shown you can see as 991 01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:35,760 it comes down the larger mound comes down to our detention base and we just 992 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:39,600 run it right around here in that area right on top of the berm so 993 01:15:38,239 --> 01:15:42,960 i show an eight foot high fence on the berm on 994 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:47,120 this particular graphic which will give you a little over a 14 foot screen from 995 01:15:45,679 --> 01:15:51,120 the elevation at the property lines at the top of the fence 996 01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:55,120 so with that those are basically my comments with regards to stormwater if 997 01:15:52,640 --> 01:16:01,199 you're happy to answer any questions excuse me john yes um it's been brought 998 01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:04,159 up that in 2014 the student health is in a different location for a prior 999 01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:07,120 development and 1000 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:10,239 i wonder if you know anything about that or if you could speak to maybe theirs 1001 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:14,800 was in the wrong place or the right place for that 1002 01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:19,120 time or so it was more in the middle of this property well 1003 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:23,679 so so it was a prior concept plan that was 1004 01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:31,280 did not move forward it wasn't ours okay you know um 1005 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:35,280 the the culvert pipe is right here so this is the inlet of it and where the 1006 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:40,560 storm sewer system runs downhill to the north and through the development i mean 1007 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:43,600 i could see potentially this pond moving east a little bit you know if i had it 1008 01:16:42,159 --> 01:16:48,719 centered right on top of that culvert pipe that could be 1009 01:16:46,159 --> 01:16:51,920 that could be one solution right but i don't see it moving 1010 01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,159 south for example because now you're moving 1011 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:57,280 uphill and it really needs you know water needs 1012 01:16:55,679 --> 01:17:00,960 to drain downhill to capture all of the water otherwise now you're 1013 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,920 bringing water uphill and then trying to take it back downhill and it gets very 1014 01:17:02,719 --> 01:17:06,960 difficult i haven't said i haven't done it before but it gets 1015 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:11,600 very difficult very tricky and there's usually some sort of compromise 1016 01:17:09,440 --> 01:17:14,080 in the design if if you have to do that so 1017 01:17:12,719 --> 01:17:19,280 i can see it moving maybe a little bit east but i don't see it moving 1018 01:17:17,440 --> 01:17:23,760 i don't see it moving south how does adding in the nine foot tall 1019 01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,960 sperm of planting how does that affect the way 1020 01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:30,400 the water's flowing because when that effect that would essentially change if 1021 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:34,239 we were to build that uh mound all the way across that 1022 01:17:32,719 --> 01:17:38,159 would change where the low point of the high point of the land would be right 1023 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:43,360 right right well as far as the amount here um 1024 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:46,880 right now the water you know the high points down here somewhere the water 1025 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:50,080 just sheds this way nothing impedes it right it's all downhill 1026 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:53,120 from south to north when we put the mound in what's going to 1027 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:58,400 happen is the top of the mountain that water's going to shed off into the rear 1028 01:17:55,600 --> 01:18:01,040 yards here but everything south of that mound is going to come 1029 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:04,080 back to our storm sewer system to be piped into the basin 1030 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:09,360 so we're actually it's actually going to help us collect and maintain keep water 1031 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:13,840 on on the site so we can treat it and store it in our detention 1032 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,840 basis 1033 01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:21,679 but i think we're already moving dirt around right yeah we can create like a 1034 01:18:19,440 --> 01:18:24,480 new low area just because i i'm concerned that 1035 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:30,480 first of all like where that is and and looking at your your drawing 1036 01:18:28,719 --> 01:18:32,960 here i mean people's headlights are going to be coming in because it's 1037 01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,440 uphill where the road is from where these 1038 01:18:34,239 --> 01:18:38,960 people's houses are i feel like headlights are making them right they're 1039 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:42,320 back into their bedroom windows out of their backyard your headlights aren't 1040 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:45,360 usually focused up and out they're usually focused out 1041 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:49,199 and down a little bit but that's right across from where the entrance is so 1042 01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:53,520 cars are going to be coming in all night yeah and they're down and so i imagine 1043 01:18:51,679 --> 01:18:56,640 right here you see the road line you can see the road and that's the car it goes 1044 01:18:55,120 --> 01:19:01,040 straight it looks like it goes straight across and through there so just from a 1045 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:04,239 grading perspective you know the ridgeline's down here 1046 01:19:02,239 --> 01:19:07,199 somewhere right we're going to probably mimic that with our proposed grid so 1047 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:11,520 we're going to be in a downward trajectory as we 1048 01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:14,480 this road will be falling down so it's not like they're coming up a 1049 01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:18,880 hill and shining lights up they're going to be shining lights down 1050 01:19:16,480 --> 01:19:22,960 typically screens screening requirements for all parking lots for headlights 30 1051 01:19:20,719 --> 01:19:25,840 inches i would say you know we're going to have a fence 1052 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:31,679 that's going to be top of that it's going to be roughly 82 1053 01:19:29,199 --> 01:19:35,920 882 i believe we're at probably 75-ish that's an 1054 01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:41,199 average grade might be even lower here might be closer to 74. so we're going to 1055 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:46,239 be five six feet you know easily seven feet 1056 01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:50,400 easily below the top of our screen here so i just don't see that as a 1057 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:53,679 as an issue if anything i think we're helping the situation out here 1058 01:19:55,120 --> 01:20:00,880 so if we come back to the 1059 01:19:59,440 --> 01:20:05,719 detention pond um if we can kind of 1060 01:20:06,639 --> 01:20:14,719 if you were to extend that berm all the way to the property line wouldn't that 1061 01:20:11,679 --> 01:20:19,280 then funnel the water back down into the pond if you were to lower that 1062 01:20:17,199 --> 01:20:22,159 um and then still be able to have that burn 1063 01:20:20,159 --> 01:20:26,639 and then the you know the water to the north would go to 1064 01:20:24,159 --> 01:20:28,960 the the drainage into the south it would funnel then 1065 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:32,880 into a pond if you were to move it say south 1066 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,840 a little bit in terms of that great 1067 01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:39,440 because you'd have you know that high burn right 1068 01:20:37,199 --> 01:20:43,280 would that funnel that down into in that area and then you wouldn't have 1069 01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:46,560 to necessarily worry about where you know where it's going and 1070 01:20:44,719 --> 01:20:50,800 trying to pump it back right i think the the problem with that 1071 01:20:48,159 --> 01:20:53,520 is the footprint of that mound is is very large 1072 01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:57,600 um and it would i looked at trying to get a 1073 01:20:55,679 --> 01:21:02,480 basin in this location it just isn't possible it's just to you know without 1074 01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:06,480 sacrificing a major portion of the plan it's it's just it's not feasible 1075 01:21:06,639 --> 01:21:10,480 one thing the one of the previous 1076 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:18,000 sections that was shown earlier you know shows that mound pretty uniform well the 1077 01:21:16,239 --> 01:21:22,719 problem is you know grades on this side are a few feet higher than they are here 1078 01:21:20,159 --> 01:21:26,719 so at three to one slope you've got more more slope to get to the peak so you 1079 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:33,199 need more run on the north side to get to the peak so 1080 01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:38,000 it pushes the pushes the um the mound you know further further south 1081 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:43,440 and maybe what that shows that simple section shows 1082 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:46,320 so just the footprint of it just the foot they've created the top of that 1083 01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:50,000 mound where it's shown here the footprint of it it just totally wipes 1084 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:52,400 out my detention base and you can see if you can send these contours straight 1085 01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:55,360 through and then come back down to the bottom i 1086 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:59,520 mean i might have a ditch here there just won't be any storage 1087 01:21:58,239 --> 01:22:04,080 i mean i firmly believe this is the place the pond needs to go 1088 01:22:02,159 --> 01:22:07,400 i think it'll it'll function very well at that location 1089 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:20,960 i'm just looking looking at the contours that i can see on that map i mean 1090 01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:25,440 they're very they kind of go towards like the south 1091 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,760 east almost 1092 01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:31,920 so i mean we have to lose some parking 1093 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:35,520 lot you know we already said we're over we 1094 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:40,000 have more parking spaces than we really need that can be something that we give 1095 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:42,800 up for the sake of being able to extend is not if you can 1096 01:22:41,440 --> 01:22:47,600 move that south a little bit because then follow the contours 1097 01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:50,239 into the kink where that parking lot is you see what i'm saying yeah i 1098 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:55,199 understand i understand what you're saying i think when you start to move 1099 01:22:53,280 --> 01:23:01,360 this infrastructure south i mean you start to destroy the circulation i mean 1100 01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,360 it'll really ripple through the project 1101 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:18,080 you know again let's not discount the fact that you know i think 1102 01:23:16,639 --> 01:23:20,880 from the property line up to the top of that fence we're going to be at plus 14 1103 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:24,560 feet for a screen 1104 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:28,480 and i think that's pretty significant i think headlights will be definitely tall 1105 01:23:26,159 --> 01:23:32,840 enough to block headlights definitely you know tall enough to block you 1106 01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:37,520 especially from the first floor down um yes i think the important thing to 1107 01:23:35,440 --> 01:23:42,080 note is that if you're if you're a resident and 1108 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:46,040 you're you're north of the mound okay so if you're standing 1109 01:23:55,920 --> 01:24:01,520 if you're standing here and if you could just do a pretty good job of doing this 1110 01:24:00,159 --> 01:24:04,560 for the mic so that everybody can hear it 1111 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,600 there you go if um 1112 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:09,920 if you're standing north of the mound here 1113 01:24:10,159 --> 01:24:14,080 you're seeing basically a 1114 01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:17,520 slope what john is three to one three three 1115 01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:19,600 four three to one slope that's 1116 01:24:18,480 --> 01:24:22,800 you know you've got a mound that's roughly 1117 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:27,760 nine feet high with a six foot fence that's a 15 15 feet of total buffer if 1118 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:32,159 you're standing here in front of what i'll call berm this 1119 01:24:30,159 --> 01:24:37,440 berm that's you know it's like half of a mound right 1120 01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:42,239 it's really an analogous condition in terms of what you're looking at because 1121 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:45,920 you've got a mound that's six feet high and we're talking about 1122 01:24:44,239 --> 01:24:50,560 doing a bigger fence there an eight foot high fence so you've got roughly 1123 01:24:48,239 --> 01:24:52,960 14 feet i mean you're you're within a foot 1124 01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:58,239 and i mean visually this would be a three to one slope roughly right three 1125 01:24:55,360 --> 01:25:02,960 to one slow three to one slope plantings you know evergreens etc 1126 01:25:00,159 --> 01:25:06,960 same thing here so i think visually um if you're looking from the north 1127 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:12,560 looking south i think the visual impact is 1128 01:25:10,159 --> 01:25:17,760 very analogous i think it's i think it's very very similar 1129 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:21,600 almost the same what you don't get is is is the amount that's on our property 1130 01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:26,080 because and i mean nobody here can see that 1131 01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:30,719 here instead of having the mounds slope down three to one heading south 1132 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:35,279 that berm falls off into into the pond right here 1133 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:35,279 [Music] 1134 01:25:36,639 --> 01:25:42,639 okay thank you do you have anything else to present or should we open up we're 1135 01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:46,239 almost done just a couple of couple last points 1136 01:25:43,679 --> 01:25:46,239 thank you john 1137 01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:55,280 so just just continuing a few more points on some of the revisions that 1138 01:25:53,920 --> 01:26:01,120 we've made to the plan throughout the process as mentioned earlier 1139 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:06,080 you know originally we had a full access point because 1140 01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:09,520 warren county requested it and then they they took a look at the functionality of 1141 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:14,639 some of the other intersections in the area and said look we're okay with with 1142 01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:19,280 it just being you can cut off the access point to thornberry court and just 1143 01:26:17,199 --> 01:26:23,840 provide a gate that emergency services vehicles can use that was a big concern 1144 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:29,120 early on from neighboring residents was they didn't like the fact that we had a 1145 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:32,480 connection to thornbury court so that that 1146 01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:37,040 that's been resolved the other comment that we got fairly 1147 01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:42,000 recently was building nine which is kind of in the northwest excuse me northeast 1148 01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:45,679 corner of the site um there's a home that doesn't show in this 1149 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:50,239 area but there's a home there now and some of the rosemont south residents 1150 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:54,320 request you know asked us a requested us to look at um beefing up a visual buffer 1151 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:59,199 here so we we kind of pushed the sidewalk south and 1152 01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:02,400 this one sat further south and this one north and we've been able to create 1153 01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:07,920 a mound here uh that's roughly four or 1154 01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:11,760 four feet high and then we would provide plantings throughout that amount so 1155 01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:16,960 that'll provide a very nice landscape buffer the one the last thing 1156 01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:21,520 in terms of revision the zoning commission had a comment on 1157 01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:26,159 building one which you have that on your site plan that's not on the screen 1158 01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:31,120 building one the north face of building one was 1159 01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:34,000 was further north than the north face of buildings um 1160 01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:41,639 let me see if i can quickly get it back on the screen just so 1161 01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:57,120 okay so here you can see building one the north face of that 1162 01:27:54,960 --> 01:28:01,600 is is is beyond the north face of these two 1163 01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:05,280 buildings so we had a comment from a zoning commission member said hey 1164 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:09,440 can you look at scooching this building down so that the 1165 01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:12,960 north face of building one doesn't extend beyond the north face of these 1166 01:28:11,199 --> 01:28:15,920 buildings and we were you know we were we were we looked at 1167 01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:19,040 that and we were able to accommodate that request so if you look 1168 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:23,679 now on the site plan 1169 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:27,639 that you have in your packet i'll try to quickly scoop back there 1170 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:33,440 can see now that building one is the north face of building one does not 1171 01:28:31,840 --> 01:28:37,760 extend beyond the north faces of these buildings 1172 01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:42,000 so with that i would just say that 1173 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:45,840 in conclusion the proposed development is consistent with the historical 1174 01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:49,600 pattern of development seen along this portion of tylersville road 1175 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:53,760 and incorporates a step down in use intensity 1176 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:57,840 moving south to north that exhibits sound planning and zoning principles 1177 01:28:58,239 --> 01:29:03,679 the [Music] 1178 01:29:00,719 --> 01:29:08,080 the the site is uh this plan is in a convenient easily accessible location 1179 01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:11,040 and i think we've demonstrated the high quality developments that we've brought 1180 01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:14,639 to deerfield township in the past with the grandstand one deerfield 1181 01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:18,800 and the proposed development will be of the same high quality 1182 01:29:16,639 --> 01:29:23,040 i also like to mention again that all the all the consistencies of this plan 1183 01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:27,520 relative to the current deerfield township 1184 01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:30,960 comprehensive plan as well as the proposed update 1185 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:34,320 i thank everybody for their time this evening and 1186 01:29:32,639 --> 01:29:37,520 myself and all the members of our team will be available 1187 01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:43,120 to answer any questions that you might have thank you thank you 1188 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:48,080 okay so now we're going to move on to uh public comment and if you filled out a 1189 01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:50,719 sheet from our last meeting right here again we have it we're going to call you 1190 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:56,080 up uh if you're not here we'll set it off 1191 01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:59,760 to the side in case that person shows up and then anyone else knew who killed 1192 01:29:58,239 --> 01:30:03,760 that one today it's like you're bringing it up you can bring them up to mr yoder 1193 01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:07,440 here we'll call you and then just to remind you when you come up state your 1194 01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:11,360 name your address and whether you've been sworn in for the 1195 01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:16,400 record and you have miss warnings and this reader will store you in 1196 01:30:13,679 --> 01:30:21,840 and uh we're gonna do a five minute limit on everyone's comments you can get 1197 01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,840 everyone in i'll find you 1198 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:33,040 um and i saw a fair number of people walking in too perhaps are there people 1199 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:36,560 that intend to speak that were sworn in already tonight is there a 1200 01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:38,800 decent amount or not maybe 1201 01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:42,320 well there's only one i could just handle that when we go there but i 1202 01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:45,440 thought maybe there was a bunch we had a couple answers about this if there's 1203 01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:50,880 anybody that hasn't been sworn in already tonight that things they might 1204 01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:50,880 want to give a testimony go ahead 1205 01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:55,840 all right perfect do you solemnly swear our 1206 01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:59,120 affirmative testimony you'll give tonight will be true and accurate to the 1207 01:30:57,280 --> 01:31:02,159 best of your knowledge and belief yeah great thanks you can be sued 1208 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:07,880 so with that we'll go ahead and get started 1209 01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:07,880 first person is tim bradshaw 1210 01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:23,840 [Music] first um so my name is tim radzick 6595 1211 01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:23,840 glenstone way i have been sworn 1212 01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:29,199 um so i probably won't well i certainly 1213 01:31:27,679 --> 01:31:32,639 don't have any pretty pictures or the gravitas of some of the previous 1214 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:34,800 presenters i'm just the guy who plunked down 1215 01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:39,760 several hundred thousand dollars for a home 1216 01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:42,880 in deerfield because i love what i saw there and i love the community and i 1217 01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:46,159 have some concerns and i don't think they've yet been 1218 01:31:44,639 --> 01:31:49,440 addressed so that's why i'm speaking today 1219 01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:54,159 according to the speakers i should be very happy that there's this development 1220 01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:57,199 being built next to my house or it's down the road from my house 1221 01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:03,040 apparently my property values are going to increase 1222 01:32:00,239 --> 01:32:05,760 uh crime's going to go down everything's going to be better or at 1223 01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:09,600 least the same of course that sort of excludes the fact 1224 01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:12,880 that if something is the same or better then there's probably some that's going 1225 01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:18,000 to be worse property values will increase within 300 1226 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:21,120 feet of the property apparently due to a study but maybe the 1227 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:24,880 homes that are right next to the development aren't going to increase 1228 01:32:22,719 --> 01:32:24,880 that 1229 01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:31,280 apparently i have misconceptions about renters 1230 01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:36,800 i'll just state i've been in the air force for 23 years and i've lived 1231 01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:40,400 everywhere i've lived in a metal shack in baghdad 1232 01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:46,639 and i've lived in a same family home i lived in uh four bridges apartments 1233 01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:48,960 owned several homes around the country um 1234 01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:51,760 so i have a pretty good experience of what it's like to be a renter and a 1235 01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:54,639 homeowner and 1236 01:32:53,120 --> 01:33:00,000 i would say that i prefer being a homeowner and i know what it's like to 1237 01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:03,040 live in an apartment with renters and as much as it's been told to me that i 1238 01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:07,679 shouldn't be happy and i have misconceptions i don't feel i have them 1239 01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:11,440 i've been one and i know what my neighbors were like and they were very 1240 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:15,440 nice people but it's a different environment and the home next to that is 1241 01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:18,159 a different environment as well um 1242 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:21,360 i would say that most every homeowner here would not be happy if their home 1243 01:33:19,679 --> 01:33:24,639 was torn down or the home next to them was torn down 1244 01:33:22,719 --> 01:33:27,440 and an apartment community was built there 1245 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:31,679 so that on itself says something about the the data that 1246 01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:34,560 says we should be happy with this development 1247 01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:38,159 so um 1248 01:33:36,639 --> 01:33:41,520 i guess my main concern is that this doesn't seem like a planned urban 1249 01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:44,159 development to me talked about a little bit right at the 1250 01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:48,960 beginning there's a little sidebar conversation about 1251 01:33:46,719 --> 01:33:53,760 apartments above businesses or off to the side if you can draw a line 1252 01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:56,960 through the development and everything commercials on one side 1253 01:33:55,600 --> 01:34:01,040 and everything residential is on the other side i don't see how that's 1254 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:04,239 diversity of housing i don't see how it's intermingled or 1255 01:34:02,719 --> 01:34:09,120 integrated i don't see how it's horizontally 1256 01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:13,920 integrated there's a step so i think it's segregated 1257 01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:19,440 and it doesn't really meet the sort of definition of a planned unit 1258 01:34:16,239 --> 01:34:23,199 development as i see it simply saying something is a fact 1259 01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:26,320 doesn't necessarily make it so a lot of things were said 1260 01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:29,760 i actually think this could be an interesting development 1261 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:32,960 i think there are some tweaks that that should be made i think i think the 1262 01:34:31,199 --> 01:34:36,400 property owners deserve to earn some money for their property 1263 01:34:35,199 --> 01:34:40,000 and the city or the the township deserves to have a 1264 01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:43,520 good development that meets the needs of the people 1265 01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:46,880 but this is sort of being presented as a false dichotomy 1266 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:49,600 that almost like the people who are against 1267 01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:53,360 it aren't for having businesses a long time 1268 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:56,960 as well but i would wager to say that almost everyone here 1269 01:34:55,360 --> 01:35:00,400 is fine with having businesses along tylersville they just want their 1270 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:03,840 backyard i came to ohio and one of the neat 1271 01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:07,760 things i saw different from california was that 1272 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:11,360 we have a backyard and it's the next people's backyard and it's also the next 1273 01:35:09,679 --> 01:35:14,719 people's backyard and you can see all around and you can have your kids play 1274 01:35:13,440 --> 01:35:18,560 with your neighbors they're taking the backyard away 1275 01:35:17,360 --> 01:35:21,040 and maybe that doesn't show up in some of 1276 01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:25,600 the data but it shows up in the fact that 1277 01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:30,800 no one no one along glenn stone that i know 1278 01:35:27,440 --> 01:35:30,800 is happy about this development 1279 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:37,360 i don't think the only option is a high density housing development which is 1280 01:35:35,119 --> 01:35:40,960 what this is there's a high density housing development which could 1281 01:35:39,440 --> 01:35:44,719 legitimately be zoned as such 1282 01:35:42,480 --> 01:35:50,800 and a commercial development next to it that could legitimately be zoned as such 1283 01:35:47,440 --> 01:35:55,920 and that isn't how a pud should be the density is odd 1284 01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:59,840 13.32 units per acre but is presented as 11 units per acre seems kind of like a 1285 01:35:58,480 --> 01:36:04,080 dodge to me i don't know how you guys define that 1286 01:36:02,159 --> 01:36:07,199 you're definitely the experts in that but that seems awful to me 1287 01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:12,719 it was interesting that it was presented as 1288 01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:17,440 our development is going to look like a modern farmhouse 1289 01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:21,639 how about put a modern farmhouse that's the promise that was made 1290 01:36:24,290 --> 01:36:27,470 [Music] 1291 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:34,400 for those people that choose to clap or be disorderly i will have you escort 1292 01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:39,119 down people can speak but this is not going 1293 01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:42,480 to be a popularity contest or against it so please don't test me 1294 01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:46,239 we want to hear everyone but that's all we want to hear thank you 1295 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:49,600 so i know that zoning is exciting your five minutes are up also just you know 1296 01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:53,119 is that when i write what they applauded is when the alarm went off so if you can 1297 01:36:51,199 --> 01:36:57,040 just wrap up really quickly please okay i know that zoning isn't a promise it's 1298 01:36:54,719 --> 01:37:00,000 not set in stone changes are made but i think it's important that all 1299 01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:02,639 stakeholders are considered that 1300 01:37:01,119 --> 01:37:05,360 especially those who are having harm done to them should maybe be considered 1301 01:37:04,159 --> 01:37:09,920 a little bit more than those who are looking to gain something for it and 1302 01:37:07,440 --> 01:37:13,119 again i'm i'm a conservative capitalist i totally understand the property 1303 01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:18,080 developers needs but i feel like a promise was made that 1304 01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:21,280 we were going to have at least some attention considered look at other 1305 01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:24,800 options to what might 1306 01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:28,880 go behind our homes rather than to have you know 1307 01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:33,119 13.32 units per acre 1308 01:37:31,280 --> 01:37:36,880 so my parents always taught me before you tear a fence down how long it's 1309 01:37:34,480 --> 01:37:39,679 longer because your time really is is several minutes before you tear a fence 1310 01:37:38,480 --> 01:37:43,280 down you should know why the fence is put up in the first place i think 1311 01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:46,560 there's a reason why this was zoned as uh residential 1312 01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:52,739 in the way it was zoned and i think the change has been appropriate 1313 01:37:49,670 --> 01:37:52,739 [Music] 1314 01:37:54,159 --> 01:37:59,800 all right next person that's out there is raj up and drums 1315 01:38:07,199 --> 01:38:14,800 my name is raj rupinram i live on here 65-15 glenn stoneway 1316 01:38:12,159 --> 01:38:18,800 mason ohio i've been swallowing good evening everybody um 1317 01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:23,040 you know this is the very first time uh we are presenting um 1318 01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:26,480 from our rosemont south community to the trustees 1319 01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:30,800 uh and i'm the rosemont south association president 1320 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:34,880 uh besides me with other um board of members in the rosemont 1321 01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:39,920 association we have had several number of conversations with our um neighbors 1322 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:43,760 regarding many concerns about this proposal just to give a quick background 1323 01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:49,440 because like i said this is the first time we're presenting to you um you know 1324 01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:53,360 when we all bought our houses in like 10 years or 16 years ago we were all pro we 1325 01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:58,080 were all promised that there's going to be single family houses right behind our 1326 01:38:55,600 --> 01:39:03,280 neighbor like in our backyard but apparently that didn't happen in 2014 1327 01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:07,679 since then a couple of developers came into picture and they proposed some 1328 01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:11,679 weird uh you know and greedy proposals such as they're trying to build some big 1329 01:39:09,840 --> 01:39:16,080 commercial complexes right behind our neighborhood you know um trying to make 1330 01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:20,000 money um they're all trying to make money at the cost of our uh you know 1331 01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:25,119 privacy and the cost of our quality of our life and compromising on the traffic 1332 01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:28,400 and safety concerns and all that so since then um you know like i said 1333 01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:31,679 couple of uh developers came into picture and they tried to present it to 1334 01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:36,239 the the trustees and the zoning commissions and we all came here um 1335 01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:40,560 hundreds of people all the neighbors came and raised our voices we were very 1336 01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:45,360 clear and loud that we want to maintain our quality of our life in this single 1337 01:39:42,719 --> 01:39:50,159 family homes because we paid so much of money into our home for many of us it's 1338 01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:53,760 a it's our dream you know for some of the people some of the neighbors it's 1339 01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:58,719 their kids education some of their neighbors it's a retirement amount so 1340 01:39:56,719 --> 01:40:03,520 you know with keeping all those things um you know the the trustees and the 1341 01:40:01,440 --> 01:40:07,679 past committees they listened to us they respected our opinion they respected our 1342 01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:11,760 you know the concerns and all that and they rejected their proposals 1343 01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:15,760 recently when uh the last time the very first time mr silverman company came and 1344 01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:19,440 presented their proposal it was very similar to what the previous developers 1345 01:40:17,679 --> 01:40:24,239 did that i mean it was they built the houses the proposal was very uh close to 1346 01:40:22,719 --> 01:40:28,719 the commercial complexes very right behind our neighborhood no buffer 1347 01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:34,560 nothing there is no um character no transition uh been uh followed through 1348 01:40:32,159 --> 01:40:38,880 and we again raised our concern i mean this might be the eighth or tenth time 1349 01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:42,159 we are coming to this room sometimes we feel like we are coming more than the 1350 01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:48,480 deerfield officer enquiries here you know we've been so used to this and this 1351 01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:52,320 has been going on since 2014. finally um i know every time whenever silverman 1352 01:40:50,159 --> 01:40:57,840 presents his uh presentation those are very beautiful uh um you know um 1353 01:40:56,080 --> 01:41:02,159 facilities that they're providing like beautiful lodges and all that but for us 1354 01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:05,840 it doesn't really matter i mean whether they put the commerce with the golden 1355 01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:09,440 gold plated commerce in their restrooms or whether they keep the juice water or 1356 01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:13,360 water or you know whatever it's in the refrigerators we don't care i mean for 1357 01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:16,800 us it no it's nothing for us that might be for the people who are renting it so 1358 01:41:15,199 --> 01:41:21,040 every time i never come to this meeting sometimes i feel like i came to rent an 1359 01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:25,920 apartment but most of the times i mean the the major concern that we raised 1360 01:41:23,119 --> 01:41:28,800 last time too was uh you know these are all going to be rented out 1361 01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:32,880 to you know for the rental people and they 1362 01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:37,040 have no vested interest in developing the community values or relations there 1363 01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:40,639 that that's just their pit stop they just stay here today and they're gone 1364 01:41:38,480 --> 01:41:45,199 tomorrow so that's why we wanted a privacy we wanted you know traffic to be 1365 01:41:43,199 --> 01:41:50,159 maintained as well as a security concerns we raised all that last meeting 1366 01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:55,840 and you know the current proposal they came up with we kind of uh agreed to 1367 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:59,280 that because you know we know for sure that there is going to something is 1368 01:41:57,199 --> 01:42:03,600 going to happen in the backyard you know and we're not crazy to stop everything 1369 01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:07,040 we we're not asking a single family base uh single family homes all the way to 1370 01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:11,360 the taylor's room now i know it's a fine land road we're not doing that 1371 01:42:09,119 --> 01:42:16,560 but the way this is proposed is not consistent or you know the transition is 1372 01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:20,880 not appropriate and one side it's 16 feet on the glenstone houses now it's 1373 01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:26,080 only six feet or whatever that just explained what today tonight's my 1374 01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:31,119 request from the homeowners association is very simple and straightforward we 1375 01:42:28,159 --> 01:42:35,360 wanted to have the developer maintain the burn consistency across the 1376 01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:39,760 development throughout the development moving the retention point all the way 1377 01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:43,760 to the south side and we have a bill here tonight to speak about the 1378 01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:47,119 retention field if if that retention field is moved to south side 1379 01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:51,280 what are the technical challenges you know then as far as we know 1380 01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:54,080 there are no technical challenge challenges involved in moving the 1381 01:42:52,639 --> 01:42:58,239 retention pond from north to the south probably you 1382 01:42:56,480 --> 01:43:01,840 know we will they'll be compromising on the building number one and you know if 1383 01:43:00,159 --> 01:43:04,719 they maintain the same consistency and the thornberry code they'll be 1384 01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:08,800 compromising on the building number nine and that i'm going to talk about the 1385 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:11,520 density as well the last time mr silverman companies presented the 1386 01:43:10,239 --> 01:43:15,520 density numbers 1387 01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:20,719 they were taking uh the density of 196 units for the whole entire 17.5 acres 1388 01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:24,880 that is not correct that math is not correct 1389 01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:29,119 17 point out of 17.5 acres three end of acres is discard for the commercial side 1390 01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:35,600 so they have to take into consideration only that 14 acres land 14 acres divided 1391 01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:40,239 by 192 units that's the density that they need to look at so the density is 1392 01:43:37,679 --> 01:43:43,600 really so high with 196 homes behind our neighborhood if they they can take out 1393 01:43:42,159 --> 01:43:47,119 the building number one and building number nine so that they can move this 1394 01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:50,719 retention part all the way to the south we know for sure the retention point is 1395 01:43:49,199 --> 01:43:53,840 required in the previous meetings silverman companies presented that 1396 01:43:52,159 --> 01:43:58,320 retention fund is required required they kept it kept saying 100 we all know that 1397 01:43:56,480 --> 01:44:02,000 for sure that the retention point is very much required but all we're asking 1398 01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:06,000 is move the retention point towards the south side and maintain the consistency 1399 01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:09,760 across throughout the development that will be a nice transition and and there 1400 01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:13,920 is another 16 acres parcel right next to this 1401 01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:17,679 current proposal i'm sure that that is ready and it's going to be developed 1402 01:44:15,440 --> 01:44:22,080 anytime within no time you know that's ready for that so once this burn height 1403 01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:27,040 and everything is set appropriately consistently across this 1404 01:44:25,119 --> 01:44:30,719 will be the precedence for the next parcel development as well and when we 1405 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:33,920 are here for the next partial development hearing the meeting will be 1406 01:44:32,480 --> 01:44:38,719 done in 15 minutes and they maintain the same same consistency that's all we are 1407 01:44:36,239 --> 01:44:43,119 asking tonight please maintain the same burn consistency across the development 1408 01:44:41,440 --> 01:44:48,560 so that you know all the glenster neighbors will have the equal uh quality 1409 01:44:45,760 --> 01:44:53,199 of life and equal uh privacy of their families that's the main request here 1410 01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:57,040 tonight and also thinking about the density that density is so high so if 1411 01:44:55,760 --> 01:45:00,320 they can compromise on the building number one and building number nine that 1412 01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:04,480 takes care of the the entire issue so that's all i'm here 1413 01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:09,280 for thank you so much for giving this opportunity 1414 01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:13,440 and um before i leave um i just would like to um give this copies to the 1415 01:45:11,199 --> 01:45:16,800 trustees um because of the covert situation not many people can attend 1416 01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:19,840 this meeting today and of course the lord we have room limitations here as 1417 01:45:18,480 --> 01:45:25,040 well so all the neighbors almost 120 neighbors 1418

technical 1422 01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:46,400 challenges we have that certified letter here as well and he's been here he's 1423 01:45:44,719 --> 01:45:50,639 been in this field for almost 30 years

01:47:46,480 --> 01:47:52,000 i will i will basically start with the plan the majority of the issues that we 1435 01:47:50,239 --> 01:47:55,600 have right now are because of the light pollution and 1436 01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:59,520 the screening that we have with this road uh i think a 1437 01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:04,480 lot of trustees you have asked us questions uh earlier but i just want to 1438 01:48:01,679 --> 01:48:07,679 add on to your questions earlier from your their presentation 1439 01:48:06,639 --> 01:48:10,719 so looking at this plan 1440 01:48:12,239 --> 01:48:18,800 the looking at this plan the entrance to this is most of the entrance is this one 1441 01:48:16,159 --> 01:48:22,480 so we have about 400 car spaces and then 1442 01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:26,080 this is not clearly presented what's going to come here but i physically 1443 01:48:24,239 --> 01:48:30,000 counted all these parking spaces they come out to be roughly 1444 01:48:27,679 --> 01:48:32,719 120 so 1445 01:48:30,719 --> 01:48:35,840 for all of these the entrance is this one 1446 01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:40,080 day and night 24 hours they use this space to enter this so what 1447 01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:44,080 so 1448 01:48:45,440 --> 01:48:51,600 so they're going to come using the same entrance to come into that so 1449 01:48:50,159 --> 01:48:56,880 the mound earlier was presented that yeah they're 1450 01:48:53,840 --> 01:49:01,679 going to add a 70 foot width with a nine four to a nine foot mount with a six 1451 01:48:58,719 --> 01:49:05,600 foot uh fence fixed pixel fence on top of it with some more tree coverage which 1452 01:49:04,159 --> 01:49:10,800 i don't know how long it's gonna take grow long power or what but it will take 1453 01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:17,679 some time right so the main concern that we have is these this pond this pond is 1454 01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:21,199 in a terribly worst location that it could be 1455 01:49:18,719 --> 01:49:25,040 for most of the residents beyond that area 1456 01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:27,520 uh i'm going to tell uh go to height 1457 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:30,080 difference here bring it down 1458 01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:35,360 so so this is this is tylersville road 1459 01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:39,280 sorry i put it in a different angle this is talusville road the future road 1460 01:49:37,119 --> 01:49:43,360 expansion is going to come here so i think earlier one of the 1461 01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:47,599 person has mentioned that the the majority of this is this is this is a 1462 01:49:45,199 --> 01:49:53,040 peak of that land the water is going to come this side right so i measured this 1463 01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:58,560 in a google earth that's about i got it here 266 meter height that which means 1464 01:49:56,239 --> 01:50:03,840 it's that land that piece of land is about 260 feet 66 feet above sea level 1465 01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:10,080 right and then this piece of land here is at 1466 01:50:06,679 --> 01:50:15,280 263 ps which is my backyard are several other people's back hairs 1467 01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:21,440 263 so that's about three feet which roughly calculates to 10 10 foot high so 1468 01:50:18,719 --> 01:50:25,360 there is a 10 foot height difference car coming here 1469 01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:28,639 so where is what where is the light gonna go 1470 01:50:27,440 --> 01:50:32,400 right in here into my second floor 1471 01:50:30,480 --> 01:50:37,440 i have a picture of that i'm gonna show that so 1472 01:50:34,719 --> 01:50:40,960 so and then there is a water issue right and then before i go into the next slide 1473 01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:47,920 i'm going to talk about it there is a sick 265 here there is a 265 here there 1474 01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:53,119 is 265 there is not much difference in this entire line in how it is landscaped 1475 01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:59,760 that is from the google earth data which we believe is mostly very one percent 1476 01:50:56,560 --> 01:51:04,880 up to one percent it is accurate okay so the argument of that pod cannot be 1477 01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:09,360 moved anywhere is not technical at all it is purely commercial how much 1478 01:51:07,440 --> 01:51:12,080 building that they wanted to build that's the argument i'm trying to make 1479 01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:15,040 here go to number three 1480 01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:23,119 so so i i just so i had another slide here 1481 01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:26,960 it's actually says 257 but it is that point is little bit but it's 200 i give 1482 01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:31,920 a little bit more to developer this is 262 1483 01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:36,320 right under the swale and the swale is a 20-foot swale which is in under our 1484 01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:40,880 property the rosemont home owner south of station property and earlier the 1485 01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:44,560 developer perspective they are actually down pour all the water into our soil 1486 01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:48,000 which is already a big problem which i already mentioned with the several devil 1487 01:51:46,639 --> 01:51:52,080 field stop department already 1488 01:51:50,639 --> 01:51:54,400 so so 1489 01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:57,679 so and look at 1490 01:51:55,440 --> 01:52:02,480 look at and i just wanted to make up use this slide to talk about something 1491 01:51:59,599 --> 01:52:05,040 else so talking about other neighbors if you look at 1492 01:52:03,440 --> 01:52:08,960 all of these the this is a condominium complex next 1493 01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:12,159 to us this that's the uh west border that's 1494 01:52:11,199 --> 01:52:19,599 the that's the south border everywhere it is 1495 01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:23,360 a 12 foot bomb a 13 foot burn okay and with a tree line 1496 01:52:21,199 --> 01:52:23,360 just 1497 01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:30,960 12 foot there is nowhere there is a pond if the pond is placed it's right in the 1498 01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:35,199 middle of their property line it's right in the middle of the property line this 1499 01:52:32,320 --> 01:52:39,040 is right these are the homes but there is a street and no property 1500 01:52:37,119 --> 01:52:42,800 line these are the condominiums this is a single family a big tree line with a 1501 01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:46,239 burma but there is 1502 01:52:44,239 --> 01:52:50,560 so the proposal of that pond is not gonna work for us 1503 01:52:47,679 --> 01:52:55,280 okay please next slide number four 1504 01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:58,639 so earlier one of these days i have taken a picture from a tallest wheel 1505 01:52:56,880 --> 01:53:03,920 road driving on my travel spill road this is right on the tylersville road 1506 01:53:00,719 --> 01:53:07,599 okay we know that is the highest spot and actually the highest spot is 1507 01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:11,760 somewhere there but this is little bit one foot one meter down if you from a 1508 01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:16,880 tallest wall it goes higher and then it goes down slowly from here if if i could 1509 01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:22,239 sorry please keep it there keep it there that's fine 1510 01:53:19,199 --> 01:53:27,040 uh from here i can see see the if if i'm standing here my vehicle facing north 1511 01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:31,119 where those are the windows on the second floor you can see that 1512 01:53:29,119 --> 01:53:35,520 because i couldn't go into there without trespassing their property so i took it 1513 01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:39,040 from the street so the light is it's a lot of light pollution 1514 01:53:38,159 --> 01:53:43,440 so the builder has no concern about it 1515 01:53:41,440 --> 01:53:47,599 looks like he was talking about something something screening but 1516 01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:53,199 it will not provide anything for those families it's a it's a 500 vehicle 1517 01:53:50,239 --> 01:53:58,480 traffic not 400 vehicle traffic because of the future 1518 01:53:54,719 --> 01:53:58,480 businesses that's going to come there 1519 01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:04,320 yeah so i would like other opportunity to 1520 01:54:02,719 --> 01:54:08,960 utilize here so this is the very very building the 1521 01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:12,880 building we are sitting here okay so 1522 01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:15,679 see this is where we are right now this is where we are 1523 01:54:14,239 --> 01:54:21,199 this is the this is the i think this building was built later on 1524 01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:25,679 after this this single family home this is that this is a mound of 12 feet 1525 01:54:24,480 --> 01:54:29,599 or something look at the tree line 1526 01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:33,199 yes tree line takes long time to build but 1527 01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:38,400 they have used 70 foot plus another 20 foot or something 20 25 foot and it's a 1528 01:54:35,599 --> 01:54:42,320 big tree line there is no pond nothing here if the pond were to build build 1529 01:54:40,159 --> 01:54:46,719 somewhere else so this is the kind of view we like if there is a light 1530 01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:51,080 it will never pass through this that is a screen that we will have 1531 01:54:56,400 --> 01:55:02,480 so yeah earlier today earlier today 1532 01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:07,679 that i think we were playing with my son was playing with it it's not to scale 1533 01:55:04,639 --> 01:55:12,800 but this is this is our uh this is our backyard sitting on our deck 1534 01:55:10,639 --> 01:55:16,800 see the light coming in that's the view we have 1535 01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:20,719 would you want me to have that kind of a view 24 hours in a day the lights 1536 01:55:19,119 --> 01:55:25,920 headlights coming in this is building one this is only six foot mount this 1537 01:55:23,440 --> 01:55:30,159 tree will take up to 10 years 20 years to grow to block that 1538 01:55:28,239 --> 01:55:35,040 so after 20 years i am going to face this light 24 hours a day 1539 01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:39,040 that's not that's not fair that's not i signed in so i'm going back to my single 1540 01:55:37,040 --> 01:55:42,719 family argument the single family we signed up this home after checking with 1541 01:55:41,119 --> 01:55:45,920 haifa deerfield township and we purchased this land 1542 01:55:44,159 --> 01:55:50,560 hoping that one day this something will come and that something will be single 1543 01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:54,480 family home and they will have kids so all 360 side degrees of my home there 1544 01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:59,599 will be single family families living kids living 1545 01:55:56,239 --> 01:56:03,840 but here the developer is doing a a plan which is uh 1546 01:56:01,360 --> 01:56:08,639 empty nesters and young families probably less kids according to this 1547 01:56:05,840 --> 01:56:11,360 statistic they'll be only having 0.2 per home or something like 1548 01:56:10,080 --> 01:56:15,760 20 so we are already missing out something 1549 01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:19,920 right so that is something that we are trying to give to the developer we 1550 01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:24,480 worked with him he worked with us we met them we met him many times 1551 01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:29,119 not me personally but our hr members and other people met them personally spoke 1552 01:56:26,639 --> 01:56:33,280 about this very issue me and my wife spoke to mr silverman right in this bill 1553 01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:37,199 in this room after the end of the previous meeting and we talked to talk 1554 01:56:35,199 --> 01:56:41,199 to him about this issue so this is the issue i mean i you could physically see 1555 01:56:39,199 --> 01:56:46,320 this what's what's the issue there right there 1556 01:56:43,520 --> 01:56:50,000 so this is this plan as is it's not going to work 1557 01:56:48,159 --> 01:56:54,239 the density had to be reduced the building had to go away that's what my 1558 01:56:51,440 --> 01:57:00,320 request is so that everyone is it will work for everyone and uh 1559 01:56:57,760 --> 01:57:04,800 yeah my my greatest hope is to get a feel family but something had to come 1560 01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:09,920 there and after all this we are tired we cannot come like 20 times uh every year 1561 01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:15,119 for these kind of meetings we don't have time we have families to raise so 1562 01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:18,159 so we would like to work with them and then that is that is 1563 01:57:16,719 --> 01:57:23,760 the option like actually this the light if you see it 1564 01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:28,960 anywhere if the mound is to build the mound height of the entire plot this 1565 01:57:27,040 --> 01:57:34,320 this is where it need to be higher like 12 feet 13 feet plus a six 1566 01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:37,920 foot wall plus big trees this is where it is required more 1567 01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:41,360 if you if you if you look at the statistics and the data that we i i just 1568 01:57:40,080 --> 01:57:46,159 showed and the the issue the one more issue i 1569 01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:50,719 would like to bring actually i've shown a video 1570 01:57:47,119 --> 01:57:55,280 now we have heard from bayern i think from bayer and decker 1571 01:57:53,119 --> 01:57:59,760 sorry if i get the wrong name wrong so the water the content of the water where 1572 01:57:57,599 --> 01:58:03,840 it's gonna come it's gonna come into the soil that we made we're hardly trying to 1573 01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:07,360 maintain this is this is a difficult job actually i would like to play that video 1574 01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:12,239 if that is possible uh 1575 01:58:08,159 --> 01:58:12,239 yeah so yeah that's an old video 1576 01:58:14,639 --> 01:58:18,760 yeah let's put it 1577 01:58:27,119 --> 01:58:32,400 yeah so that's the water that's one of those 1578 01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:37,840 someday this this kind of a water is going and it's very hard for us to 1579 01:58:34,719 --> 01:58:44,159 manage and i cannot imagine another 7 to 10 acres of water will come and join 1580 01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:48,239 somewhere here and that i our homeowners all of us have to maintain this water 1581 01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:52,159 there is lot of erosion happening there's a lot of um um 1582 01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:56,880 and like insects and everything is growing 1583 01:58:53,760 --> 01:59:01,679 because i i've actually personally paid money to repair it many times but 1584 01:58:59,119 --> 01:59:06,400 nothing will uh stay because the force of the water is so heavy that 1585 01:59:04,080 --> 01:59:10,639 i have given up now i'm i need help from county or deerfield township to take 1586 01:59:08,239 --> 01:59:14,480 care of that issue because that's that's not possible 1587 01:59:12,639 --> 01:59:18,960 and now adding another seven liters of water and it's going to come very fast 1588 01:59:17,360 --> 01:59:23,840 that's that's not going that's the problem will be increased even more 1589 01:59:21,199 --> 01:59:28,159 and i will give my wife to say uh add on to what you said thank you 1590 01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:31,840 hey ma'am if you just give your name and confirm the fact that you've been sworn 1591 01:59:29,679 --> 01:59:31,840 in 1592 01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:46,159 yeah my name is malawi panyala 6539 glenstone way 1593 01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:51,679 and everything that my husband has said and 1594 01:59:48,639 --> 01:59:54,560 raj said and i think other homeowners are going to speak about that 1595 01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:59,679 but this is like the full image that we see 1596 01:59:57,679 --> 02:00:02,719 right expanding what my husband was trying in terms of light pollution but 1597 02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:08,960 the variability of how that mound would look 1598 02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:13,520 from our backyards right the light the the the building one 1599 02:00:11,679 --> 02:00:18,560 apartment complex um you know we did we weren't we're not 1600 02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:22,719 as technologically savvy 1601 02:00:19,679 --> 02:00:27,920 to do all this cool imagery but a pond there right 1602 02:00:25,199 --> 02:00:33,280 and then all of that variation that we have to see every single day 1603 02:00:30,719 --> 02:00:36,599 and i want to show this our kids 1604 02:00:36,780 --> 02:00:39,970 [Music] 1605 02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:55,840 letters to the government to listen to them 1606 02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:05,440 you're doing fine so 1607 02:01:02,639 --> 02:01:09,599 you know outside of all the technical 1608 02:01:06,639 --> 02:01:14,320 things that my husband and everybody here is talking about think about all 1609 02:01:11,679 --> 02:01:18,960 our kids what they're losing with not having other kids to play with 1610 02:01:17,199 --> 02:01:23,040 on the other side that they were hoping to have 1611 02:01:20,239 --> 02:01:28,239 and you know there is this big huge construction over there you know however 1612 02:01:25,360 --> 02:01:31,040 long that's going to take right uh we're being promised some kind of tree line 1613 02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:36,719 which you know i have never seen like a 20 1614 02:01:34,080 --> 02:01:40,960 foot tree planted anywhere as a new development those are typically three to 1615 02:01:38,880 --> 02:01:45,440 five feet and i would like to ask like how many years should i wait to have 1616 02:01:43,360 --> 02:01:51,199 some kind of privacy in my backyard that i have today that i'm gonna lose so 1617 02:01:48,639 --> 02:01:55,840 these people can make more money off of this property 1618 02:01:52,400 --> 02:02:00,480 so it makes it a very sad miserable place for us to live 1619 02:01:58,560 --> 02:02:05,040 and that's all i want to say thank you so 1620 02:02:03,280 --> 02:02:08,400 uh sorry for that i just want to add one more thing the rental property and 1621 02:02:06,639 --> 02:02:12,239 everything was mentioned earlier by silverman and their 1622 02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:17,520 supporters of this group are they from their group so i have another 1623 02:02:14,960 --> 02:02:21,920 research done by university of colorado it says the rental within one five mile 1624 02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:26,159 of sold home and negative have a negative impact on the price of the 1625 02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:30,480 existing home however they said the value of the homes about one mile down 1626 02:02:29,199 --> 02:02:35,520 will increase but we our property rosemont is within 1627 02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:40,800 half mile or within one by fourth mile so that means it's directly 1628 02:02:38,000 --> 02:02:44,480 reducing the value of our home where they are making money 1629 02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:49,119 who's benefiting it so i would like to have you um providing 1630 02:02:46,639 --> 02:02:53,840 this small accept that method from the internet thank you yeah 1631 02:02:51,599 --> 02:02:59,280 and then if you look at the document like some pictures earlier um 1632 02:02:57,040 --> 02:02:59,280 that 1633 02:02:59,599 --> 02:03:02,320 it's actually 1634 02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:11,679 so this one if you if we leave this uh 1635 02:03:09,520 --> 02:03:16,800 without not much of the bomb we now we establish this this is very high right 1636 02:03:14,159 --> 02:03:20,880 we we know a person here this is about a peak of a high height a person at the 1637 02:03:18,960 --> 02:03:23,840 swimming pool person in this room person at a second floor standing on this 1638 02:03:22,719 --> 02:03:27,679 balcony have a direct view of what's happening 1639 02:03:25,840 --> 02:03:32,000 in my back here so there's no privacy everywhere they 1640 02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:35,440 can see they can see people here people people from here can see it because 1641 02:03:33,679 --> 02:03:38,239 there is no burn or anything there is no privacy 1642 02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:41,280 so if 1643 02:03:39,040 --> 02:03:44,239 and we don't know we don't know how they are mean they never interact with us 1644 02:03:42,719 --> 02:03:48,560 they are not single family owners we all come from uh rental background many 1645 02:03:46,719 --> 02:03:51,679 years we saved our money we purchased home 1646 02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:55,599 uh in a nice neighborhood thinking this would be but that's not good that looks 1647 02:03:53,679 --> 02:04:01,920 like that may or may not happen i don't know but it's all in your hand um 1648 02:03:59,199 --> 02:04:06,639 respected trustees so so i want to mention that as well so 1649 02:04:04,159 --> 02:04:10,960 this this prop this having this is definitely ruin privacy and the lighting 1650 02:04:09,440 --> 02:04:14,079 and everything and our sleep in the night 1651 02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:18,239 with the light with the lights

that the image was not the 1656 02:04:44,639 --> 02:04:51,119 skill and there is a video to show how 1657 02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:55,840 they measured it and that that six foot wall and the view that we see from our 1658 02:04:53,040 --> 02:05:01,040 deck is absolutely too scale and he wanted me to tell that 1659 02:04:58,079 --> 02:05:04,480 he just texted me to clarify that for all of you 1660 02:05:02,480 --> 02:05:09,840 thank you and there is a video we can provide less how we measure it thank you 1661 02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:09,840 thank you 1662 02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:24,079 all right

residence will have privacy 1691 02:07:42,079 --> 02:07:48,560 protection from light sound and all kinds of privacy issues 1692 02:07:46,560 --> 02:07:52,320 either have will not think about it 1693

02:08:07,040 --> 02:08:12,960 there's only one entrance to this development that is from tylersville and 1698 02:08:11,119 --> 02:08:17,040 the lights are coming straight to these three buildings 1699 02:08:14,719 --> 02:08:21,360 and the six-fit boundary will not fix it in fact if 1700 02:08:19,599 --> 02:08:24,480 anybody will have more privacy that should be these buildings the mount 1701 02:08:23,119 --> 02:08:28,480 should be higher on this side of the wall on this fire this side of the 1702 02:08:26,239 --> 02:08:32,480 development not the other side and so therefore please do not approve 1703 02:08:31,040 --> 02:08:37,079 this plan and that's all i have to say thank you 1704 02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:37,079 very much 1705 02:08:37,679 --> 02:08:41,480 next person's bill turner 1706 02:08:53,679 --> 02:09:01,599 hello my name is bill turner i live at 675 park avenue 1707 02:08:58,639 --> 02:09:01,599 i've been sworn in 1708 02:09:02,880 --> 02:09:08,719 i am building inspection engineers i'm a licensed engineer in ohio and 1709 02:09:07,199 --> 02:09:11,599 kentucky and my 1710 02:09:09,840 --> 02:09:16,159 experience is building engineering 1711 02:09:13,280 --> 02:09:19,280 i work on sites i work on buildings and the rosemont folks have asked me to 1712 02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:24,719 come and look at their situation 1713 02:09:21,360 --> 02:09:28,320 and see if maybe there are any options you've heard a lot of 1714 02:09:26,639 --> 02:09:32,560 uh stories about how this is probably not 1715 02:09:30,480 --> 02:09:36,800 going to work but let's look at how maybe it can work if we make some 1716 02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:40,880 changes the folks from baron becker have talked 1717 02:09:39,280 --> 02:09:44,239 about the ponds okay 1718 02:09:42,079 --> 02:09:49,040 and because baron becker is involved this is an engineered pond 1719 02:09:46,639 --> 02:09:55,119 okay this isn't somebody out in brown county getting a dozer out digging 1720 02:09:52,800 --> 02:09:57,840 a hole in the backyard and calling it a pond 1721 02:09:56,000 --> 02:10:02,880 this is an engineered pond it has a specific shape it has a specific size it 1722 02:10:01,199 --> 02:10:06,880 has a specific depth 1723 02:10:04,079 --> 02:10:11,639 right and because of that i want to walk up to the picture here a 1724 02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:11,639 little bit 1725 02:10:22,159 --> 02:10:29,840 i want to look at this area here 1726 02:10:25,599 --> 02:10:29,840 okay and what's left thicker now 1727 02:10:35,119 --> 02:10:43,079 oh thank you those things hit the red button okay 1728 02:10:40,079 --> 02:10:43,079 okay 1729 02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:54,079 there it is now this this pond right here 1730 02:10:50,400 --> 02:10:57,599 okay is a third of an acre in size because there's probably some lots in 1731 02:10:55,360 --> 02:11:00,960 deerfield township that aren't much bigger than that 1732 02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:06,639 or even that size so what that is is a big body of water 1733 02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:12,079 okay that could be moved to a safer place 1734 02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:16,880 the concept of continuing this boundary all the way across 1735 02:11:14,719 --> 02:11:20,400 is very important i think we heard mr silverman say a 1736 02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:25,040 little earlier that the number of kids 1737 02:11:23,199 --> 02:11:30,880 in the neighborhood is over three times what they are 1738 02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:33,760 in an apartment complex all right 1739 02:11:31,760 --> 02:11:36,840 so i want to kind of think about that a minute as i leave 1740 02:11:35,199 --> 02:11:40,800 because all those neighborhoods don't have fences back 1741 02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:44,239 there okay they have children that play out 1742 02:11:42,719 --> 02:11:46,960 there right and now you're building this big 1743 02:11:46,000 --> 02:11:51,760 pond right next to where everybody plays 1744 02:11:50,159 --> 02:11:56,079 and i just want to think about what is the risk 1745 02:11:53,199 --> 02:11:56,079 of one child 1746 02:12:04,719 --> 02:12:08,239 next up is jeffrey wu 1747 02:12:11,199 --> 02:12:16,719 oh jeffrey maybe i can call names again at the end 1748 02:12:15,119 --> 02:12:19,440 or maybe it was here last time but not this but 1749 02:12:17,840 --> 02:12:24,199 we'll go to the next name then so we've got 1750 02:12:20,480 --> 02:12:24,199 daru barely 1751 02:12:29,830 --> 02:12:32,939 [Music] 1752 02:12:41,920 --> 02:12:48,400 hello everyone i am drew borelli i am a sixth grader at 1753 02:12:46,840 --> 02:12:53,599 mi thank you for your time i 1754 02:12:51,040 --> 02:12:57,199 really do not approve of this because me and my friends we play a lot in our 1755 02:12:56,000 --> 02:13:01,760 backyards exactly where we play is where the pawn 1756 02:13:00,159 --> 02:13:06,000 is going to be built now when we have the pawn it's going to 1757 02:13:03,760 --> 02:13:11,119 be very unsafe for us to play so we won't i have anything to do and 1758 02:13:08,239 --> 02:13:15,119 it's going to be extremely unsafe thank you 1759 02:13:12,079 --> 02:13:20,719 mr verily were you sworn know in everything you just said true 1760 02:13:17,760 --> 02:13:20,719 yes good enough 1761 02:13:21,119 --> 02:13:28,679 thanks for coming uh we'll go to the next i have robbie 1762 02:13:25,679 --> 02:13:28,679 toptop 1763 02:13:42,560 --> 02:13:52,679 i'm ravi tata i already sworn in uh i live in 65 55 glenn stoneman mason 1764 02:13:49,679 --> 02:13:52,679 ryo45040 1765 02:13:52,719 --> 02:14:00,000 uh i strongly object because we have some serious concerns on 1766 02:13:58,400 --> 02:14:04,719 the proposed plan uh as we are directly impacted one of 1767 02:14:01,920 --> 02:14:08,159 the families directly impacted i stayed right besides that retention 1768 02:14:07,040 --> 02:14:11,360 point so 1769 02:14:09,199 --> 02:14:16,079 we are that impacted so i have 1770 02:14:13,040 --> 02:14:20,880 to tell like two major concerns one is a retention pond 1771 02:14:19,440 --> 02:14:25,440 because of health and safety reasons 1772 02:14:23,520 --> 02:14:29,679 because retention pond obviously 1773 02:14:27,040 --> 02:14:33,760 you'll have a lot of insects mosquitoes which comes along 1774 02:14:31,920 --> 02:14:38,400 with that and which is which is there right at the edge of my backyard so that 1775 02:14:36,480 --> 02:14:44,960 is one concern and other thing is like the privacy so as you see this road 1776 02:14:42,880 --> 02:14:48,320 and building one and building three they have a direct view and there is no 1777 02:14:46,719 --> 02:14:51,840 absolutely no screen uh towards our backyard 1778 02:14:50,239 --> 02:14:59,679 so that is the another major concern i have 1779 02:14:56,480 --> 02:15:03,199 i have two sons who plays soccer uh most of the times they practice at 1780 02:15:01,520 --> 02:15:08,079 the backyard along with other neighboring kids having a retention pond 1781 02:15:06,480 --> 02:15:11,920 their we have that safety concerns as i uh 1782 02:15:10,400 --> 02:15:16,480 already mentioned uh and also 1783 02:15:14,000 --> 02:15:20,079 uh the privacy like the building three and building one so 1784 02:15:18,320 --> 02:15:24,239 even though there is a burn across the other side but where it is exactly 1785 02:15:21,520 --> 02:15:28,320 needed right when you see this road the traffic coming there 1786 02:15:26,800 --> 02:15:32,239 that is the way actually you need to have 1787 02:15:30,159 --> 02:15:35,679 if you if you need to have any screening that's where it should be there 1788 02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:37,840 but as you can see there is no springing there 1789 02:15:36,639 --> 02:15:42,159 and that is the concern what i have 1790 02:15:39,679 --> 02:15:45,280 so basically we are compromised on our privacy 1791 02:15:43,360 --> 02:15:49,040 and health and safety issues because of retention pond 1792 02:15:47,119 --> 02:15:53,440 so that's all the things i wanted to say and i agree with my neighbors 1793 02:15:51,040 --> 02:15:57,199 that to keep it consistent the berm should be extended all the way across 1794 02:15:55,920 --> 02:16:01,199 if not this plant should be rejected thank you 1795 02:16:01,760 --> 02:16:08,650 all right i'm gonna struggle here i think it's penmanship issues though 1796 02:16:06,480 --> 02:16:15,000 but um maybe [Music] 1797 02:16:10,800 --> 02:16:15,000 palm trees yeah 1798 02:16:27,599 --> 02:16:30,639 hello everyone my name 1799 02:16:30,960 --> 02:16:36,319 five one five grand is at means foreign 1800 02:16:33,840 --> 02:16:41,280 i've spoken several certain times before and the board of uh the previous coming 1801 02:16:39,200 --> 02:16:45,679 to equal where they were they struck me off saying that traffic isn't their 1802 02:16:43,679 --> 02:16:49,599 concern and i have to deal with butler and warren counties but that has that 1803 02:16:47,760 --> 02:16:54,639 has been my concern all the way because i'm a working mom and in the mornings we 1804 02:16:51,760 --> 02:16:59,599 already have four traffic lights in 0.9 months and we are introducing almost 290 1805 02:16:58,080 --> 02:17:03,679 some apartments which will i think approximately 1806 02:17:01,280 --> 02:17:09,359 increase the number of cars to at least 500 because every household is two cars 1807 02:17:06,880 --> 02:17:13,200 at least um that's that has been my concern i know there have been some 1808 02:17:11,519 --> 02:17:16,319 traffic studies that mr silverman has provided 1809 02:17:14,399 --> 02:17:20,160 but they've been only looking at taylor's law 1810 02:17:17,519 --> 02:17:24,960 with the roundabout we already have so much of traffic on glenstone bay and 1811 02:17:23,040 --> 02:17:29,359 with covet i don't know how valid this traffic stories are honestly um and 1812 02:17:27,200 --> 02:17:34,080 nobody is actually looking at um sunny drive and glenstone for any of the 1813 02:17:32,399 --> 02:17:36,960 traffic studies so that's like the sad point 1814 02:17:34,960 --> 02:17:42,240 um one other thing that i was really really worried about is definitely the 1815 02:17:39,760 --> 02:17:48,479 pond there um i'm not hit but i want everybody to be 1816 02:17:46,000 --> 02:17:54,000 the same way i am especially in one glenstone way where everybody is as safe 1817 02:17:51,280 --> 02:17:57,760 because my kids do run with the pond um so 1818 02:17:54,840 --> 02:18:01,760 please extend the bill all the way through that's all we are 1819 02:17:59,200 --> 02:18:07,519 asking for and please try to reduce the density all working moms will definitely 1820 02:18:04,639 --> 02:18:11,280 definitely correlate with me and they feel the pain in the morning i don't 1821 02:18:09,200 --> 02:18:17,359 know more about the dads but moms do because it's it's a joke in the morning 1822 02:18:14,160 --> 02:18:22,639 every day and 0.9 miles four traffic lights and i actually presented several 1823 02:18:19,439 --> 02:18:27,359 studies as to how the burn to bumper-to-bumper traffic actually 1824 02:18:24,880 --> 02:18:32,559 increases accidents and i actually propose i actually showed the studies 1825 02:18:29,920 --> 02:18:36,160 where i think the accidents went up like at least 1826 02:18:33,519 --> 02:18:42,639 23 percent if not more in since 2016 since when people have 1827 02:18:39,679 --> 02:18:46,960 started dwelling more and more into our communities 1828 02:18:44,479 --> 02:18:51,840 so please consider both of them please think about the density and how many 1829 02:18:49,359 --> 02:18:56,800 people you're introducing say that empty nesters um in fact when i 1830 02:18:54,719 --> 02:19:00,559 when i said that there were at least 500 cars i was cut shot saying oh no they 1831 02:18:59,760 --> 02:19:04,399 walk and i'm like seriously there's no 1832 02:19:03,040 --> 02:19:10,399 companies in a vicinity of 0.6 months 1833 02:19:08,319 --> 02:19:14,719 around that dwelling so you expect everybody to jog or walk to work in the 1834 02:19:12,719 --> 02:19:17,760 mornings and they're not driving and so they're not increasing the traffic 1835 02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:22,559 because that's the answer i got so please think about it and please 1836 02:19:20,000 --> 02:19:29,240 please extend the boom thank you thank you 1837 02:19:24,399 --> 02:19:29,240 the next person is kashore kalikiri 1838 02:19:47,120 --> 02:19:49,840 mess in ohio 1839 02:19:50,080 --> 02:19:56,240 it feels like the same thing we are saying over and over again um 1840 02:19:54,080 --> 02:20:00,800 the reason we are doing that is because with the last meeting we had 1841 02:19:58,479 --> 02:20:03,840 um they kind of got confused the builders that is that we were all over 1842 02:20:02,880 --> 02:20:07,520 the place so 1843 02:20:04,800 --> 02:20:12,560 we wanna i wanna say again that i reject this proposal without any 1844 02:20:09,840 --> 02:20:17,280 modifications as is i won't reject um 1845 02:20:13,920 --> 02:20:21,280 they have been really hell bent on um that 1846 02:20:18,960 --> 02:20:24,960 the retention pond there and one of the main reasons is 1847 02:20:22,880 --> 02:20:28,479 because of what the one of their own said 1848 02:20:25,760 --> 02:20:32,160 without sacrificing the major portion of the plan 1849 02:20:29,520 --> 02:20:35,600 we cannot move the retention point and that's the reason they don't want to 1850 02:20:33,680 --> 02:20:39,680 admit it maybe it was slip of tongue that 1851 02:20:36,800 --> 02:20:45,359 the the pawn specialist spoke that's in his own words all we are asking for is 1852 02:20:42,720 --> 02:20:49,920 more modern detergent which means um at the cost of sacrificing building one 1853 02:20:47,200 --> 02:20:53,439 which they don't want to and i think my friends have already said given 1854 02:20:51,520 --> 02:20:57,200 enough examples and slides that i don't want to get into that 1855 02:20:54,880 --> 02:21:02,240 um the other part is um in the last seven years um 1856 02:20:59,439 --> 02:21:07,840 in western one investigation one in uh mason two toddlers have died 1857 02:21:05,200 --> 02:21:11,920 in the neighborhood uh swimming pools or the ponds um not swimming pools actually 1858 02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:15,439 i correct honestly uncorrected retention ponds two of them died one just a mile 1859 02:21:14,240 --> 02:21:21,280 and a half during kobe time uh up on snyder road 1860 02:21:19,200 --> 02:21:24,319 so that happened so i and i have a six year old 1861 02:21:22,240 --> 02:21:27,840 right at that age prime and i've been friends with those panialas 1862 02:21:26,000 --> 02:21:32,080 and the other people and that's where my son runs every every evening can i go 1863 02:21:30,160 --> 02:21:36,319 there and play can i go there and play and i always drop him off and come back 1864 02:21:34,240 --> 02:21:40,640 and pick him up i can't do that anymore my wife would kill me that means all of 1865 02:21:38,319 --> 02:21:44,640 my evenings are sacrificed you know i myself am a part-time realtor and one of 1866 02:21:42,960 --> 02:21:48,120 the other things they said oh my god i can't find the place 1867 02:21:46,000 --> 02:21:53,760 kishore call me 513-666-1259 i will find a place for you 1868

out looking all across the country and then i said you know what 1881 02:23:01,840 --> 02:23:09,120 i'm going to find columbia misery which is in 1882 02:23:06,479 --> 02:23:13,280 a small town we lived there and then we thought maybe it's too small 1883 02:23:10,800 --> 02:23:15,040 so it kind of like wanted us a field that's not 1884 02:23:14,319 --> 02:23:21,840 like a city like a big city but something 1885 02:23:17,680 --> 02:23:21,840 that where i can raise my kids 1886 02:23:21,920 --> 02:23:29,600 driving on believe me we were literally driving all the way to 1887 02:23:26,560 --> 02:23:33,280 florida to for to to look at a practice 1888 02:23:31,600 --> 02:23:36,800 i stopped by here at the exit 1889 02:23:34,880 --> 02:23:39,439 and then we researched the place looking then we found out we saw we have some 1890 02:23:38,240 --> 02:23:43,120 friends here wow 1891 02:23:40,640 --> 02:23:47,200 and then that made us extend the stay we liked the place after interviewing then 1892 02:23:45,200 --> 02:23:50,560 i said you know what maybe this is the place 1893 02:23:48,880 --> 02:23:53,920 when i chose to live in this area i did not have a 1894 02:23:52,720 --> 02:23:57,840 job i did not have a job 1895 02:23:55,920 --> 02:24:02,080 i thought you know what i'm going to find a job if not then i'm going to 1896 02:23:59,920 --> 02:24:05,359 start a practice what attracted me 1897 02:24:03,840 --> 02:24:10,880 was the community what attracted me is the kid-friendly 1898 02:24:08,399 --> 02:24:15,040 nature what attracted me is when i was driving and it said mason the seventh 1899 02:24:13,280 --> 02:24:21,359 best place to live and the reasons behind being 1900 02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:25,920 the kids what comes around the kids i have two boys 1901 02:24:23,200 --> 02:24:30,319 10 and 14. this evening 1902 02:24:28,479 --> 02:24:33,520 i've heard excellent data presented today 1903 02:24:32,240 --> 02:24:37,920 selling apartment homes 1904 02:24:35,840 --> 02:24:43,040 unfortunately there is no one here to speak for 1905 02:24:39,120 --> 02:24:47,280 who wants single family homes we all live yes we live we start an 1906 02:24:45,280 --> 02:24:52,960 apartment that is what we grow into but we come and live in single family homes 1907 02:24:50,720 --> 02:24:59,520 that is where children you're looking at the data i'm seeing data being presented 1908 02:24:55,840 --> 02:24:59,520 let's reduce the number of kids 1909 02:24:59,920 --> 02:25:05,600 where are we heading what direction are we heading 1910 02:25:03,439 --> 02:25:09,359 he has shown a data that clearly says that if you have single family homes you 1911 02:25:07,359 --> 02:25:12,960 have more kids and then if you have homes like this you 1912 02:25:11,040 --> 02:25:18,640 can have we are not here to reduce the number of kids in the community 1913 02:25:16,479 --> 02:25:24,160 we have built up a great school system that this county has that this city has 1914 02:25:21,280 --> 02:25:27,600 to make more children that ability to live here to become more productive in 1915 02:25:26,160 --> 02:25:31,280 their life we want to be able to do that and that 1916 02:25:29,280 --> 02:25:35,359 kind of like really really hurt me tonight that there is data being 1917 02:25:32,960 --> 02:25:38,359 presented that let's not have more children 1918 02:25:38,640 --> 02:25:44,720 it really hurts the basic roots of why we are 1919 02:25:42,479 --> 02:25:49,280 trying to create communities it's not all about money 1920 02:25:47,520 --> 02:25:54,160 and tonight last time i presented a slide he showed 1921 02:25:51,760 --> 02:25:59,040 excellent data as to how this place could be a great multi-family 1922 02:25:57,680 --> 02:26:04,000 neighborhood honestly you know what we don't need 1923 02:26:01,040 --> 02:26:08,479 that data we can just walk through drive through the city most of the 1924 02:26:05,920 --> 02:26:11,439 apartments are 80 90 full okay 1925 02:26:09,280 --> 02:26:15,040 that data is enough to say that yes we need something 1926 02:26:14,240 --> 02:26:21,040 but not to convert a single family home into 1927 02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:24,479 something like this you 1928 02:26:22,240 --> 02:26:28,560 for some reason somehow somewhere came up with this illusion saying that this 1929 02:26:26,319 --> 02:26:31,319 land is not suitable for single family homes 1930 02:26:30,560 --> 02:26:35,520 i presented why 1931 02:26:33,200 --> 02:26:39,600 you drive east you drive west on tylersville there is homes there is 1932 02:26:37,760 --> 02:26:44,560 single family homes that back onto tylersville there is people living on 1933 02:26:41,600 --> 02:26:48,960 tylersville so find another reason as to why we should change the zoning 1934 02:26:46,960 --> 02:26:52,560 not to say that this is not suitable for single family homes let's find another 1935 02:26:50,640 --> 02:26:57,600 reason let's find another reason that makes it really worthwhile to consider 1936 02:26:55,200 --> 02:27:00,560 but not that reason and if you drive either way on these 1937 02:26:59,600 --> 02:27:06,080 homes the prices are no less 1938 02:27:02,720 --> 02:27:10,319 the price of these homes are great they have not reduced in value they are 1939 02:27:08,319 --> 02:27:14,800 not reduced it's not you know what something 1940 02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:19,920 what does it what makes it unsafe one of the apartment communities that 1941 02:27:16,720 --> 02:27:24,000 this developer built the grand stone i can i could take the picture from his 1942 02:27:22,160 --> 02:27:27,280 own presentation the living room of that apartment is 1943 02:27:25,680 --> 02:27:30,680 literally within 15 feet from the wilkins boulevard 1944 02:27:30,720 --> 02:27:39,760 if if a car drives in rams into their into the apartment it will go straight 1945 02:27:37,280 --> 02:27:45,920 into their living room so let's find another reason as to why 1946 02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:49,439 this area is not suitable for single family i mean why why you why we want to 1947 02:27:47,920 --> 02:27:55,680 change it and i looked at this the what what comes 1948 02:27:52,160 --> 02:28:00,399 up what they wanted to do with this one and i mentioned the word greed 1949 02:27:58,640 --> 02:28:05,359 and everyone has the right to enjoy their property 1950 02:28:02,479 --> 02:28:11,040 what you get for the property comes with what that property can do 1951 02:28:08,640 --> 02:28:14,880 so time to time we see people want to change you know i could have a land in 1952 02:28:13,120 --> 02:28:19,840 the middle of nowhere or what but i wanted to get the most use possible so 1953 02:28:17,600 --> 02:28:24,240 it gets the most economic value it doesn't necessarily mean that that is 1954 02:28:22,319 --> 02:28:29,359 good for the community or it is good for the neighbors around and that is where 1955 02:28:28,160 --> 02:28:34,640 you guys have the ability to judge 1956 02:28:31,920 --> 02:28:39,040 trying to balance what this community what this development brings to the 1957 02:28:36,479 --> 02:28:39,040 neighborhood 1958 02:28:39,439 --> 02:28:48,640 townships are in existence for a reason and that is to create keep a character 1959 02:28:45,760 --> 02:28:52,720 not just by changing the shape of the building i you know i call this like a 1960 02:28:50,720 --> 02:28:56,399 farmhouse architecture farmhouse has a lot more you know we don't want farm 1961 02:28:54,720 --> 02:29:01,680 house but at the same time we don't want apartments to look at look like farmers 1962 02:28:58,560 --> 02:29:08,160 and say that this is hormones so let's go back to trying to address 1963 02:29:05,680 --> 02:29:11,040 some of the very specific questions that come 1964 02:29:09,439 --> 02:29:16,399 with regards to this particular development 1965 02:29:14,720 --> 02:29:23,280 there's a lot of data that's been presented on the previous 1966 02:29:19,200 --> 02:29:25,840 and the zoning committee that heard this obviously 1967 02:29:26,640 --> 02:29:35,200 data is something that is i'm a physician i look at data every day 1968 02:29:32,880 --> 02:29:40,160 when some company comes and says i want to sell this drug i tend to think 1969 02:29:37,600 --> 02:29:44,720 critically as to what kind of like i don't just look at the conclusion i look 1970 02:29:42,479 --> 02:29:48,319 into the data what kind of patients they chose how did they characterize the 1971 02:29:46,560 --> 02:29:52,960 patients how did they differentiate the patients 1972 02:29:49,760 --> 02:29:57,840 because conclusion is always what the company wants if i read the 1973 02:29:55,200 --> 02:30:02,160 conclusion it biases me i look at the data and i start to criticize the data 1974 02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:05,520 okay so 1975 02:30:03,359 --> 02:30:11,359 people presented the data on how it will influence traffic and and how it can 1976 02:30:07,760 --> 02:30:15,120 influence the uh the price values and exactly here's what is the data that you 1977 02:30:13,359 --> 02:30:19,840 know he presented one of the paper was from 2005. 1978 02:30:18,479 --> 02:30:23,840 you know how many things have happened in the world since 2005. 1979 02:30:22,560 --> 02:30:28,319 one of the other papers that he presented on crime was from 1996 1980 02:30:26,880 --> 02:30:32,240 you know how the demographics and everything have changed now i'm not 1981 02:30:30,000 --> 02:30:36,640 saying i'm not saying the facts of but what i'm saying is you pick the paper 1982 02:30:34,399 --> 02:30:41,439 you pick the data that you like and try to present and make conclusions out of 1983 02:30:38,479 --> 02:30:46,479 it and it is clearly i think we need someone who will listen 1984 02:30:43,600 --> 02:30:49,680 who will think to the depth of what we are thinking through 1985 02:30:48,880 --> 02:30:54,160 and this is the time 1986 02:30:51,200 --> 02:30:54,160 and if we go on 1987 02:30:54,640 --> 02:31:02,800 back in 2015 they presented this 1988 02:31:00,080 --> 02:31:07,280 of doing something over there it was a long hearing 1989 02:31:05,280 --> 02:31:12,560 and if you look at that they said 1990 02:31:09,120 --> 02:31:15,920 four things would make this not worth one 1991 02:31:13,600 --> 02:31:21,760 the intensity of the development two they mentioned the retention pawn 1992 02:31:18,479 --> 02:31:24,960 three they mentioned the easements three of those 1993 02:31:23,760 --> 02:31:30,240 and then he came up with the plan originally i'm 1994 02:31:26,960 --> 02:31:33,520 thinking what is this that someone is trying to buy this land and i looked at 1995 02:31:32,479 --> 02:31:37,439 the price and it's like 1996 02:31:34,720 --> 02:31:43,280 4 million 4.2 million of course you know if if someone could pay me like 250 200 1997 02:31:41,200 --> 02:31:47,200 dollars for an acre that's a great price but it comes with the cost it comes with 1998 02:31:45,040 --> 02:31:51,120 changing something it comes with asking for something from the community okay 1999 02:31:49,359 --> 02:31:55,280 and that's exactly what's happening here and that's exactly why 2000 02:31:52,800 --> 02:31:59,439 this land has been deemed not suitable for single family because i'll tell you 2001 02:31:57,359 --> 02:32:04,080 what if you can put single families on this one and they will sell in 2002 02:32:02,160 --> 02:32:08,080 in a month there are developers who walked into this saying that they will 2003 02:32:06,080 --> 02:32:13,120 build single family homes but you know what was it no one can 2004 02:32:10,560 --> 02:32:16,880 build a single family home at 250 000 dollars an acre and make money on it so 2005 02:32:15,359 --> 02:32:21,359 it's a it's a ridiculous price that you're asking but then you're trying to 2006 02:32:19,359 --> 02:32:25,359 get that price by trying to find someone like him who will come up bully us 2007 02:32:23,840 --> 02:32:30,479 everybody and try to get what they want you know 2008 02:32:27,200 --> 02:32:35,040 why i call it bully because back in 15 for the very same reasons the board has 2009 02:32:33,280 --> 02:32:38,720 rejected this plan meaning it's not apartments but they 2010 02:32:37,040 --> 02:32:42,240 talked about intensity they talked about the easement on the back they talked 2011 02:32:40,080 --> 02:32:46,880 about the pond and then they said anyone doing this should first try to 2012 02:32:45,359 --> 02:32:51,040 involve the neighborhood community and try to 2013 02:32:48,479 --> 02:32:55,120 come up with a plan and at some point 2014 02:32:52,960 --> 02:32:58,720 in 2015 without involvement of the neighborhood 2015 02:32:56,880 --> 02:33:03,600 plan this land was changed to mixed use 2016 02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:07,920 what kind of democracy are we talking about 2017 02:33:05,120 --> 02:33:10,240 if we didn't have an issue before that said 2018 02:33:08,720 --> 02:33:15,359 please do this when the board of trustees have said this is a specific 2019 02:33:12,240 --> 02:33:18,640 concern do this in spite of that that did not happen 2020 02:33:17,200 --> 02:33:22,479 behind the doors in the closed doors they made a change 2021 02:33:20,560 --> 02:33:27,200 to this neighborhood and called it this will be mixed use 2022 02:33:25,439 --> 02:33:33,040 and here we are that there is a plan in our in front of 2023 02:33:29,439 --> 02:33:36,399 us that's exactly the same with the same concerns like it was before 2024 02:33:36,960 --> 02:33:42,160 i said when i met him once i told him you know what 2025 02:33:40,640 --> 02:33:45,600 there are you know we really want to make this work 2026 02:33:43,439 --> 02:33:50,720 there are some technical issues that we probably won't agree with but you know 2027 02:33:48,640 --> 02:33:54,880 what we are just residents over there there are some concerns that i have as a 2028 02:33:53,040 --> 02:33:57,760 citizen of the township and there are some concerns that i have as a 2029 02:33:56,560 --> 02:34:01,120 neighborhood as a citizen 2030 02:33:59,120 --> 02:34:05,359 i'm going to leave that to you i'm going to because you guys have i 2031 02:34:03,760 --> 02:34:10,319 would trust that you have the best vision for the township 2032 02:34:07,520 --> 02:34:15,120 i would trust that you would have the ability to think critically to 2033 02:34:12,720 --> 02:34:18,319 balance between what the developer wants what the owner wants and what we can 2034 02:34:17,280 --> 02:34:21,680 give them i'll leave that to you 2035 02:34:19,760 --> 02:34:25,760 but my idea of a mixed unit development 2036 02:34:23,680 --> 02:34:29,840 is something like this mixed unit developments came up with the 2037 02:34:28,080 --> 02:34:33,040 idea most municipalities have started using mixed unit developments in the 2038 02:34:31,680 --> 02:34:37,280 last 10 years and then if they came up with something 2039 02:34:35,120 --> 02:34:41,760 like that as you all know to create some kind of like a flexibility in the plan 2040 02:34:39,760 --> 02:34:46,960 that you could do that something comes up in the neighborhood that gives to the 2041 02:34:43,280 --> 02:34:50,880 community that takes from the community it could be used to revitalize some 2042 02:34:48,960 --> 02:34:56,080 communities where maybe something could be done better to 2043 02:34:53,520 --> 02:35:00,479 improve the lives of people around it not just for people within that and that 2044 02:34:58,479 --> 02:35:04,399 is the reason why mixed-use communities came up 2045 02:35:01,840 --> 02:35:10,160 it also came up with the idea to let's improve more walkability to amenities 2046 02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:16,319 including work where is a word here that someone can go 2047 02:35:13,920 --> 02:35:21,040 to walk without a car do you feel one we agree you come on 2048 02:35:18,720 --> 02:35:24,479 this side you walk you have so many restaurants there 2049 02:35:23,040 --> 02:35:27,920 typically what you have and my our our 2050 02:35:26,319 --> 02:35:31,840 neighborhood already walks there's a yogurt place there's a drug mod 2051 02:35:30,399 --> 02:35:35,280 and that's it there's a couple restaurants 2052 02:35:33,600 --> 02:35:40,800 that's not going to be a good reason to say that this is a mixed unit never good 2053 02:35:39,120 --> 02:35:44,720 leave alone the fact that what does this give to the community around it i mean 2054 02:35:42,800 --> 02:35:47,840 you better put we don't even know what's coming up there 2055 02:35:46,160 --> 02:35:51,359 in those three or three commercial spaces 2056 02:35:48,880 --> 02:35:57,200 so i'm going to leave that to your expertise to decide on all of that 2057 02:35:54,080 --> 02:36:00,640 but i'm going to focus on the specifics that concern to me as a resident of that 2058 02:35:59,439 --> 02:36:02,880 neighborhood okay 2059 02:36:03,439 --> 02:36:09,280 that is density 2060 02:36:06,240 --> 02:36:14,080 density and density that is the core problem of why they are 2061 02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:18,880 not able to move that pawn why they are not able to increase that burn and it is 2062 02:36:16,800 --> 02:36:22,640 all around density if this vent project went and said hey 2063 02:36:21,359 --> 02:36:26,720 you know what i want this as a multi-family 2064 02:36:24,240 --> 02:36:33,120 development or eight done we would all be fine eight units per acre done 2065 02:36:30,960 --> 02:36:38,160 in the disguise of a pud they want to get more units out of it 2066 02:36:35,120 --> 02:36:43,120 how is this how is this fair that in in right into your face they are trying to 2067 02:36:40,319 --> 02:36:47,840 kind of like come in a disguise cheat and say that this is what it is 2068 02:36:45,280 --> 02:36:51,920 please please don't let this happen okay and 2069 02:36:49,359 --> 02:36:56,160 the numbers that are presented i've i've uh i let another speaker 2070 02:36:54,640 --> 02:37:00,640 speak for that who's done extensive research on the 2071 02:36:58,479 --> 02:37:05,600 number of units in each of these developments across the townfield town 2072 02:37:03,760 --> 02:37:09,280 across the deerfield township and 2073 02:37:06,560 --> 02:37:14,319 how this relates to that this is an extremely more dense and 2074 02:37:11,920 --> 02:37:18,080 i mean i'm just curious as to the three most this will be the third most dense 2075 02:37:16,640 --> 02:37:22,560 and all of those three will come from the same developer no other developer 2076 02:37:20,000 --> 02:37:27,920 was able to get some such a density this is the same developer who will get the 2077 02:37:24,720 --> 02:37:27,920 third most density 2078 02:37:29,439 --> 02:37:35,040 why and how how is that possible 2079 02:37:32,800 --> 02:37:39,920 okay and going to the specifics 2080 02:37:37,600 --> 02:37:42,000 going to the specifics of the plan okay 2081 02:37:40,800 --> 02:37:47,120 the pond is a concern the pond is a concern to 2082 02:37:44,640 --> 02:37:51,600 say that we can't move the pawn and this is what i even this even the zoning mode 2083 02:37:49,920 --> 02:37:55,920 mentioned has this so here's the conversation 2084 02:37:53,359 --> 02:38:01,359 do we have to have a pawn okay gentleman came up to speak 2085 02:37:59,040 --> 02:38:06,399 the pond is not a hole we know it's not a hole please give some respect 2086 02:38:04,000 --> 02:38:09,280 we are talking if the pawn has to be there 2087 02:38:07,200 --> 02:38:14,319 sight size shape surface and location has to be decided 2088 02:38:12,240 --> 02:38:18,319 by the engineers it's not a retention pond is an 2089 02:38:16,399 --> 02:38:22,399 engineered pond that means the engineer can drive it depending on where it ought 2090 02:38:20,560 --> 02:38:26,160 to be placed i had a small piece of land that i went 2091 02:38:24,399 --> 02:38:30,319 to mason city on three acres of kingsmill and i said 2092 02:38:28,240 --> 02:38:35,120 you know what let's do this plan okay you know how many times we moved 2093 02:38:32,640 --> 02:38:38,000 that pawn uh the retention point on that on that property 2094 02:38:38,720 --> 02:38:44,720 ultimately duke energy came back and said no you can't put a pawn right next 2095 02:38:42,319 --> 02:38:49,040 to my okay we moved it again it's the engineer's challenge it's not impossible 2096 02:38:47,040 --> 02:38:52,800 it's a challenge there are people putting 2097 02:38:50,160 --> 02:38:57,920 retention points under parking lots there's not so you have a will to do it 2098 02:38:55,680 --> 02:39:01,200 you have a way to do it okay 2099 02:38:58,880 --> 02:39:06,880 in this one in this particular we had two issues one is that burn there and 2100 02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:11,280 then how that burn is not extending onto the building nine okay 2101 02:39:09,040 --> 02:39:15,200 that gentleman that who bought that home he bought that home as part of this 2102 02:39:13,040 --> 02:39:19,680 recently he had no idea what was coming there and you have like big apartments 2103 02:39:17,359 --> 02:39:25,680 sitting there right in front sir i'm gonna respectfully cut you off 2104 02:39:22,399 --> 02:39:29,600 i i just have one i just have one more minute okay please 2105 02:39:27,120 --> 02:39:33,280

--> 02:39:44,479 that's that's we can move that pawn anywhere so with all respect to john 2109 02:39:41,920 --> 02:39:48,080 from bearbecker he is well respected he knows the truth and that's why he said 2110 02:39:46,800 --> 02:39:53,040 yes and off note i want to mention i had a 2111 02:39:49,920 --> 02:39:57,120 conversation with him and i begged him i told him 2112 02:39:54,399 --> 02:40:02,000 this could be the major issue if you can please work on that one i think we are 2113 02:39:59,840 --> 02:40:07,040 just willing to ignore and give up on anything else 2114 02:40:03,680 --> 02:40:12,160 no sensitivity to the issue came back with the same proposal same plan 2115 02:40:10,319 --> 02:40:16,560 okay so please i'm just trying to highlight all the 2116 02:40:14,160 --> 02:40:21,520 discrepancies in this okay but that's mostly to for you to decide because i 2117 02:40:19,120 --> 02:40:26,640 think there's no better judge than uh and then knowledge person with regards 2118 02:40:23,920 --> 02:40:31,359 to this than you but that pond has to move out there is a way 2119 02:40:29,200 --> 02:40:35,120 and we can do it if we want to come up with ideas we will give ideas but we can 2120 02:40:33,279 --> 02:40:37,600 do it thank you very much thank you 2121 02:40:37,760 --> 02:40:42,680 all right next up is cerini karen 2122 02:40:53,600 --> 02:40:56,600 um 2123 02:41:04,960 --> 02:41:08,760 i'm sorry other side 2124 02:41:28,840 --> 02:41:34,399 uh i'll just pull this to the right or 2125 02:41:32,080 --> 02:41:34,399 something 2126 02:42:01,840 --> 02:42:09,840 good evening my name is srini karanam i live on 6578 2127 02:42:07,520 --> 02:42:12,640 glamstone awareness and ohio i've been swan and 2128 02:42:11,760 --> 02:42:16,479 but there are a couple of points that i want 2129 02:42:14,319 --> 02:42:20,720 to highlight from the staff memo 2130 02:42:18,560 --> 02:42:26,720 probably y'all have seen the types of staff my mom 2131 02:42:23,200 --> 02:42:32,080 so if you turn to page nine there is a mention about the density 2132 02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:35,840 and several speakers thought about the density 2133 02:42:33,600 --> 02:42:38,640 but i want to just highlight a couple of things 2134 02:42:39,760 --> 02:42:46,840 that doesn't look right the way the density was calculated 2135 02:42:44,240 --> 02:42:52,720 um the total site area is 17.58 acres 2136 02:42:50,000 --> 02:42:57,439 so out of 17.58 14.7 2137 02:42:55,520 --> 02:43:03,200 is used for the residential of the multi family and the remaining 2.8 acres for 2138 02:43:00,479 --> 02:43:03,200 the commercial 2139 02:43:03,520 --> 02:43:10,880 and for the whole development is the 2140 02:43:06,960 --> 02:43:14,479 developer is building 196 units so that way 2141 02:43:12,319 --> 02:43:19,279 as a layman the way the density i look at it is 2142 02:43:15,680 --> 02:43:25,279 take the number of units which is 196 and take the accuracy which is 14.7 2143 02:43:22,880 --> 02:43:30,960 then 196 divided by 14.7 2144 02:43:27,439 --> 02:43:30,960 that gives to 13.3 2145 02:43:31,520 --> 02:43:38,080 but in his calculation i think all these calculations are occurred with the 2146 02:43:35,040 --> 02:43:44,319 developer but for the developer he took the whole 2147 02:43:39,960 --> 02:43:51,600 17.5 acres for computing the density that's the reason he got 11.14 2148 02:43:47,920 --> 02:43:57,120 because he totals 17 acres but if you take only 40 acres the 2149 02:43:53,840 --> 02:43:57,120 density is 13.3 2150 02:43:57,279 --> 02:44:03,279 so the intensity capital is completely wrong the way he presented 2151 02:44:01,680 --> 02:44:09,680 is trying to bring down the number so that it looks good on the paper 2152 02:44:06,240 --> 02:44:13,279 same thing with the net density so net densities basically take 14.7 2153 02:44:12,080 --> 02:44:19,040 acres take out 30 percent of the land 2154 02:44:16,319 --> 02:44:27,840 which is 9.56 acres and then take 196x divided by 9.56 2155 02:44:24,319 --> 02:44:32,040 which comes to 20.5 and whereas this number is 17.15 2156 02:44:32,319 --> 02:44:39,359 so if it's a twenty point one five twenty point five 2157 02:44:36,080 --> 02:44:44,240 that should trigger automatic denial for the whole proposal 2158 02:44:41,680 --> 02:44:48,080 because based on the comprehensive plan the maximum the developer can have is 2159 02:44:46,319 --> 02:44:52,000 only 20 units per acre 2160 02:44:50,319 --> 02:44:54,560 and it can vary from eight to twenty that's how it says 2161 02:44:53,600 --> 02:44:58,319 but you'll take the highest number so it can be 2162 02:44:56,080 --> 02:45:02,000 eight it could be twenty but even like you have been talked about even if you 2163 02:44:59,760 --> 02:45:05,520 take 20 it still is more than 20 it's 20.5 2164 02:45:03,840 --> 02:45:09,359 so as is the density is really really high 2165 02:45:12,080 --> 02:45:20,080 there is another slide on page 11 and the staff member 2166 02:45:17,439 --> 02:45:24,160 so here there is a comparison of all the 2167 02:45:21,760 --> 02:45:27,279 developments done in the last 10 years 2168 02:45:25,600 --> 02:45:30,479 they're not totally used if you look at these numbers 2169 02:45:30,640 --> 02:45:38,000 so if you if we take the first half they were all done 2170 02:45:35,120 --> 02:45:42,720 probably 70 maybe 10 years ago we look at the densities 2171 02:45:40,160 --> 02:45:47,040 the first one hundreds it's a the grass is four and net is five 2172 02:45:45,279 --> 02:45:50,240 point nine nine next one is six point eight seven for 2173 02:45:48,800 --> 02:45:54,479 eleven point two seven if liquidus number they're really small they're all 2174 02:45:52,640 --> 02:46:00,319 less than ten but if you look at the second half 2175 02:45:57,600 --> 02:46:03,359 so and some of these are actually living so if you look at 2176 02:46:01,439 --> 02:46:09,120 the americas with the density 31.89 2177 02:46:06,240 --> 02:46:14,080 so comparing assistant living with the apartments is now is not 2178 02:46:11,920 --> 02:46:17,840 like comparing apples with oranges it's not a true comparison 2179 02:46:15,920 --> 02:46:20,880 because i still live in saddam if they're done like a hotel it's just like 2180 02:46:19,359 --> 02:46:25,040 one room but there 2181 02:46:22,840 --> 02:46:29,439 is said living with the multi-family document 2182 02:46:27,920 --> 02:46:33,760 and if you look at the next one which is the grand stone 2183 02:46:31,200 --> 02:46:37,439 he said it's a three-story building they said 2184 02:46:35,600 --> 02:46:42,319 order is 32 but you should say three story run is surrounded by commercial 2185 02:46:40,640 --> 02:46:45,920 they don't know how there are no single company homes about operating against 2186 02:46:44,560 --> 02:46:51,520 the property there's nothing right next floor 2187 02:46:48,000 --> 02:46:58,479 surround surrounded by commercial and the next one is the the latitude 2188 02:46:54,800 --> 02:46:58,479 which is actually a four story 2189 02:46:58,800 --> 02:47:02,640 and there are a bunch of registered living 2190 02:47:02,800 --> 02:47:10,080 and for this proposed development is 11.14 and 17.15 2191 02:47:07,520 --> 02:47:15,520 and it's a two-story so there are no other two-story 2192 02:47:12,479 --> 02:47:19,920 developments within tirified mason area with this kind of density 2193 02:47:17,760 --> 02:47:25,359 this will be if it is approved this will be the highest dense ever 2194 02:47:22,240 --> 02:47:25,359 in the default ownership 2195 02:47:27,200 --> 02:47:31,680 so please please reduce the density is too high 2196 02:47:33,600 --> 02:47:38,720 and i just i want to point out some demographics 2197 02:47:36,640 --> 02:47:42,240 uh we all live in mason some of them live in mexico and deerfield 2198 02:47:41,120 --> 02:47:45,840 and uh it's a peaceful animation they're so 2199 02:47:44,560 --> 02:47:49,120 intermingled so we don't even know whether you are 2200 02:47:47,600 --> 02:47:52,640 amazing or different when you are driving down you aren't measuring your 2201 02:47:50,640 --> 02:47:57,600 individual medicine but for us for most of the time it looks 2202 02:47:55,040 --> 02:48:01,200 very similar masonry is very similar but if you look at closely 2203 02:47:59,600 --> 02:48:05,359 they are not you look at the city of mason 2204 02:48:03,279 --> 02:48:10,640 17 square miles it has a population of 30 31 2205 02:48:08,399 --> 02:48:14,399 39 people and for the deer field it's a 16 square 2206 02:48:13,200 --> 02:48:19,760 miles the population of 38 2207 02:48:17,040 --> 02:48:23,680 217. if you look at the density 2208 02:48:22,160 --> 02:48:29,279 mason city has 1724 2209 02:48:26,399 --> 02:48:32,240 people per square mile whereas 2210 02:48:30,560 --> 02:48:35,640 built with township has 2388 2211 02:48:37,040 --> 02:48:45,920 so deal field is 38.5 almost 40 percent more 2212 02:48:43,359 --> 02:48:49,200 dense than medicine so when i looked at these numbers it 2213 02:48:47,520 --> 02:48:55,040 didn't make sense to me because medicine is a city and israel is a township 2214 02:48:52,240 --> 02:48:58,000 being in a township we need to preserve the small town 2215 02:49:02,800 --> 02:49:07,920 is supposed to be like a countryside living 2216 02:49:06,000 --> 02:49:12,000 more green spaces more bigger bigger package that's how it 2217 02:49:10,160 --> 02:49:15,600 should be but the way 2218 02:49:13,279 --> 02:49:20,000 we are moving we are moving in the wrong direction so 2219 02:49:17,600 --> 02:49:23,200 why mason city why we are more than than medicine 2220 02:49:21,600 --> 02:49:28,160 is because there are more i will show you there's 2221 02:49:25,520 --> 02:49:28,160 another slide 2222 02:49:28,399 --> 02:49:34,720 just by adding but generally if you take this kind of proposal 2223 02:49:32,240 --> 02:49:37,840 so it's proposing 196 units and if you take two 2224 02:49:36,399 --> 02:49:41,160 people uh two persons in an apartment so we're 2225 02:49:40,080 --> 02:49:45,680 adding 392 people just with this development 2226 02:49:44,160 --> 02:49:50,040 alone so that will make 2227 02:49:47,840 --> 02:49:53,040 deerfield 39.97 2228 02:49:51,680 --> 02:49:58,800 more dense the meson this this development just 2229 02:49:55,520 --> 02:50:01,600 this alone will add 1.5 percent to the density 2230 02:50:01,920 --> 02:50:09,040 so we need to cut down the density so if we cut down the density 2231 02:50:06,960 --> 02:50:13,840 that will solve all the problems we can achieve the burn 2232 02:50:11,120 --> 02:50:18,399 if you take out the buildings 109 that will take out 20 2233 02:50:16,399 --> 02:50:22,640 for i think each one is 11 years it will be back at 20 minutes 2234 02:50:20,240 --> 02:50:28,080 then that will bring down the density to decent levels like 11 i think 11 inch 2235 02:50:24,640 --> 02:50:32,080 per acre if you do the math right so if you cut off the density if you 2236 02:50:29,760 --> 02:50:37,439 take out building 109 then that will provide enough room 2237 02:50:34,479 --> 02:50:41,520 to accept the bomb all the way and move the pawn 2238 02:50:39,200 --> 02:50:46,479 to the south of the after the lot 2239 02:50:43,279 --> 02:50:51,200 and also the same kind of burn uh along the town bearing 2240 02:50:49,680 --> 02:50:55,439 that should take on all the problems if you if you can cut out the undead stream 2241 02:50:56,399 --> 02:51:01,680 and the developer has been saying this about the developer has been saying that 2242 02:50:59,840 --> 02:51:06,560 we cannot move upon technically it has to be there 2243 02:51:03,040 --> 02:51:10,000 but look at the proposal back in 2014 there was another developer 2244 02:51:08,640 --> 02:51:13,920 came up with a similar kind of proposal 2245 02:51:11,920 --> 02:51:18,560 see we had a party it's not in the corner 2246 02:51:15,920 --> 02:51:21,840 it's right in the middle so 2247 02:51:19,840 --> 02:51:24,880 if it is not possible if the topography is such a way that it hasn't been the 2248 02:51:23,840 --> 02:51:29,920 corner how can the other developer could do 2249 02:51:27,439 --> 02:51:34,960 with the pond in the middle of the middle of that lot 2250 02:51:32,080 --> 02:51:38,560 and even this feminist our engineer he generally said if the pond can be 2251 02:51:36,880 --> 02:51:42,240 moved anywhere this engineered part is not a natural pond it's engineered 2252 02:51:40,479 --> 02:51:45,359 you're going to dig it up while doing this development there's a 2253 02:51:43,840 --> 02:51:48,880 lot of that moving around so you can just put it anywhere you want 2254 02:51:47,200 --> 02:51:51,200 the only reason they don't want to move it 2255 02:51:49,680 --> 02:51:53,760 just because they are going to lose the building 2256 02:51:52,240 --> 02:51:56,880 it's just the economic reason that nothing's technical nothing engineering 2257 02:51:55,920 --> 02:51:59,520 challenge is just they don't want to lose the 2258 02:51:58,640 --> 02:52:02,479 building that's the bottom line 2259 02:52:03,680 --> 02:52:10,080 so this is our request so please 2260 02:52:07,840 --> 02:52:17,760 extend the bend continuous all the way across 2261 02:52:13,040 --> 02:52:17,760 nine feet bent plus foot fence minimum 2262 02:52:17,840 --> 02:52:24,880 and the second brings reduce the density by eliminating buildings one on nine 2263 02:52:24,960 --> 02:52:29,040 so but those two are kind of regulated if you take a 2264 02:52:36,399 --> 02:52:41,609 all right next person up is [Music] 2265 02:52:45,920 --> 02:52:50,600 you got it okay 2266 02:53:04,000 --> 02:53:07,000 yes 2267 02:53:28,319 --> 02:53:38,120 hello um my name is patna khan city i'm arrested in downhill 6493 gladstone lake 2268 02:53:35,120 --> 02:53:38,120 um 2269 02:53:38,800 --> 02:53:45,359 i just moved maybe like three or four months ago from cherry group community 2270 02:53:43,040 --> 02:53:49,279 which is one of the best communities to live in mason 2271 02:53:46,800 --> 02:53:53,520 um and i choose to move towards one because i know it is a 2272 02:53:51,359 --> 02:53:58,720 one of the best communities to raise my kids i am online strongly and this 2273 02:53:56,319 --> 02:54:02,319 development is directly impacting my decision to move for my kids 2274 02:54:01,120 --> 02:54:06,560 um there are a lot of things that were said 2275 02:54:04,000 --> 02:54:11,359 um by my friends and you know all the people here but i really want to bring 2276 02:54:09,040 --> 02:54:16,880 your attention to some of the deviations that this plan has that somehow has been 2277 02:54:14,080 --> 02:54:20,880 overlooked um to approve this by the zoning committee 2278 02:54:18,160 --> 02:54:27,520 um the first deviation is the mixed-use density there's so much density numbers 2279 02:54:24,080 --> 02:54:30,880 that 17 density uh du uh per dwelling units per acre 2280 02:54:29,120 --> 02:54:35,920 it's it's it's probably wrong with the changes that they made but it's still 2281 02:54:32,800 --> 02:54:40,319 not eight volume units per acreage as for the um 2282 02:54:37,840 --> 02:54:45,359 zoning resolution document if you see the b under mixed views uh if you see 2283 02:54:43,040 --> 02:54:50,720 the section b the maximum residential density is eight volume units for april 2284 02:54:48,240 --> 02:54:56,160 and that has been completely overlooked i would like you to seriously take into 2285 02:54:53,120 --> 02:55:02,880 that uh consideration please uh the next one is as for the comprehensive plan 2286 02:54:59,600 --> 02:55:09,439 page 41 existing context it clearly states that a mixed use characteristic 2287 02:55:05,920 --> 02:55:14,720 of a mixed use is it has to incorporate landscape buffer between the commercial 2288 02:55:12,560 --> 02:55:19,200 and multi-family residential if that's what the builder wants to do and it is 2289 02:55:17,439 --> 02:55:22,880 in the writing and you know it is 2290 02:55:20,880 --> 02:55:27,040 it is the existing context that is the context of the mixed mixed use 2291 02:55:24,800 --> 02:55:31,600 development and that has been completely ignored there is no buffering 2292 02:55:29,760 --> 02:55:36,399 within the bud like there is no buffering that is where it is supposed 2293 02:55:33,359 --> 02:55:40,960 to be um between the apartments and the commercial as for the 2294 02:55:38,560 --> 02:55:44,479 recommendation of the comprehensive plan that has been 2295 02:55:42,800 --> 02:55:47,840 completely overlooked um 2296 02:55:46,000 --> 02:55:52,640 i'll go straight to the commercial development when it comes to density you 2297 02:55:50,479 --> 02:55:55,840 know although the planning you know 2298 02:55:54,399 --> 02:55:59,600 even all the numbers they are taking into 2299 02:55:57,520 --> 02:56:04,399 consideration the whole lot that includes the commercial area right 2300 02:56:02,399 --> 02:56:09,359 but when it when we are talking about the parking and all of that you know 2301 02:56:07,600 --> 02:56:13,439 they did address the residential because we did raise that question last time 2302 02:56:11,439 --> 02:56:16,720 they were short and then they they did something and they changed the 2303 02:56:15,359 --> 02:56:22,399 plan and they came to two parking lots as per the 2304 02:56:19,200 --> 02:56:26,560 recommendation by um zoning resolution but the commercial development it is 2305 02:56:24,399 --> 02:56:32,240 still not at risk i don't know why that that is not being even talked about but 2306 02:56:30,080 --> 02:56:35,520 if you calculate if i do the math right this has been 2307 02:56:33,520 --> 02:56:39,120 even presented in the uh other meetings but you should do the 2308 02:56:37,600 --> 02:56:45,920 math um with the approved uh uh 2309 02:56:42,720 --> 02:56:50,399 businesses that might come into those um even mr silverman said it could be a 2310 02:56:47,840 --> 02:56:55,680 restaurant or a healthcare facility healthcare facility actually needs 300 2311 02:56:52,720 --> 02:56:59,920 parking spaces okay and i was conservative and i took 2312 02:56:57,680 --> 02:57:04,800 one parking space for 200 square feet of the commercial 2313 02:57:02,399 --> 02:57:10,720 development they are at 85 provided right now and they are 2314 02:57:07,359 --> 02:57:16,000 short of 35 i am not sure where they plan to do that and are we going to 2315 02:57:13,279 --> 02:57:21,359 allow uh developments to come in with such a shortage of parking especially 2316 02:57:18,560 --> 02:57:25,200 when you want people to come into those commercial facilities when you want 2317 02:57:23,279 --> 02:57:28,560 everything to be wiped there's no parking where are the people going to go 2318 02:57:27,279 --> 02:57:33,680 nowhere they are not going to come because they know that the the roads are 2319 02:57:31,359 --> 02:57:38,800 jam-packed there's no parking anywhere around and i i really don't know why 2320 02:57:36,720 --> 02:57:43,120 this has been just overlooked conveniently 2321 02:57:40,560 --> 02:57:47,600 uh this is the this is the table that i used to kind of uh uh get the data uh 2322 02:57:46,160 --> 02:57:54,479 for my um uh for the previous slide and as i said 2323 02:57:50,720 --> 02:58:00,080 uh from the parking spaces that uh uh that are uh given in the uh document um 2324 02:57:58,240 --> 02:58:04,880 the average comes out to be two one parking space for 200 2325 02:58:02,640 --> 02:58:10,240 um square foot development and 2326 02:58:06,880 --> 02:58:15,760 another one is um if i see the parking spaces okay this is 2327 02:58:13,040 --> 02:58:20,960 again from um i believe the zooming resolution document 2328 02:58:17,800 --> 02:58:25,760 8.0.7 b landscaping screening and the landscaping eye links in between the 2329 02:58:23,439 --> 02:58:30,960 parking spaces i don't know again this has been completely overlooked i don't 2330 02:58:27,680 --> 02:58:37,200 see enough landscaping islands uh this is one of the thing that um dfir 2331 02:58:33,680 --> 02:58:41,520 recommends to keep that um you know even landscaping and screening is intended to 2332 02:58:39,040 --> 02:58:44,560 soften the appearance of large uh it's kind of parking areas you can read that 2333 02:58:43,840 --> 02:58:49,600 but it it is recommending it it wants no 2334 02:58:47,600 --> 02:58:54,319 more than 15 parking spaces shall be located continuously in a row but if you 2335 02:58:52,160 --> 02:58:58,399 can closely look at the parking spaces that they design and they 2336 02:58:56,319 --> 02:59:03,279 came up with that's that's completely overlooked as well um 2337 02:59:00,560 --> 02:59:08,640 we we have a density crunch again you know my calculation is probably based on 2338 02:59:05,760 --> 02:59:13,680 a previous proposal but it is not eight it is not a dwelling units for apric it 2339 02:59:11,200 --> 02:59:19,040 is still a free this plan is not at eight dwelling units per acre still 2340 02:59:16,000 --> 02:59:25,279 approved commercial parking we are short of 35 still approved landscape buffers 2341 02:59:21,840 --> 02:59:31,200 within uh the pud completely ignored still approved no um enough 2342 02:59:29,200 --> 02:59:37,200 landscaping in between the parking spaces still approved i really want you 2343 02:59:34,399 --> 02:59:42,560 to take a closer look at all these that are actually there in the zoning 2344 02:59:39,439 --> 02:59:48,880 resolution document that's there in the um comprehensive plan you know if if you 2345 02:59:45,439 --> 02:59:53,279 want uh somebody to build something to the core values of deerfield they will 2346 02:59:51,120 --> 02:59:58,080 have to follow all of these right that's that's the intent of the documentation 2347 02:59:55,279 --> 03:00:00,560 that you guys work hard to prepare and uh 2348 02:59:58,880 --> 03:00:07,200 you know again the data that they presented as my friend uh 2349 03:00:03,760 --> 03:00:11,920 um delete mentioned and shrini mentioned um 2350 03:00:09,279 --> 03:00:17,040 it is all based on the data that is you know 96 2351 03:00:13,520 --> 03:00:21,600 2005 copied last one and a half year it brought everything upside down right you 2352 03:00:19,600 --> 03:00:26,240 know there's so much changes people want single family because they don't want to 2353 03:00:23,359 --> 03:00:31,200 be in closed areas where they there may be more exposure people are dying to buy 2354 03:00:28,800 --> 03:00:36,880 homes right now in mason single family homes there's a huge line for people who 2355 03:00:34,479 --> 03:00:40,319 want to buy you know it's like everybody is working from home they need more 2356 03:00:38,560 --> 03:00:44,960 space they have you know there is a chance that people kids might be doing 2357 03:00:42,399 --> 03:00:49,120 remote again you know think about if people 2358 03:00:45,840 --> 03:00:54,800 crammed in in 1200 or 1500 square foot area no people want space they there is 2359 03:00:51,359 --> 03:01:01,040 a huge market for single family homes so i did not understand what is the need uh 2360 03:00:58,640 --> 03:01:06,560 you know we cannot compare data from long back we have to compare what is 2361 03:01:02,800 --> 03:01:12,960 there what is the requirement right now that's all i have to say i see i 2362 03:01:08,560 --> 03:01:17,120 sincerely request um the trustee poor to give a serious contribution to the 2363 03:01:14,960 --> 03:01:19,120 deviations that were allowed for this 2364 03:01:18,240 --> 03:01:24,640 plan and it was somehow approved uh thank you 2365 03:01:22,319 --> 03:01:28,359 very much next up is a non-condo 2366 03:01:46,399 --> 03:01:52,200 do you want to map or anything up just just 2367 03:02:14,000 --> 03:02:17,000 here 2368 03:02:19,120 --> 03:02:25,920 um i live at six five zero england stoneway i think swarning 2369 03:02:23,359 --> 03:02:32,080 i'm part of the hoa board for rosemont south and uh i know a lot of our 2370 03:02:28,800 --> 03:02:36,319 neighbors and colleagues have spoken about different things you know they 2371 03:02:33,760 --> 03:02:41,359 presented a lot of data but the core of uh 2372 03:02:38,240 --> 03:02:46,640 the issue that we wanted to the hoa board wanted to present was two items 2373 03:02:44,000 --> 03:02:48,800 one is reduced density you know from the existing 2374 03:02:48,000 --> 03:02:54,399 net density of 17.1 to something closer to 2375 03:02:52,319 --> 03:02:59,600 11 or 10 and the second issue was 2376 03:02:56,720 --> 03:03:03,680 to maintain the consistent uh barrier you know between the existing single 2377 03:03:01,760 --> 03:03:08,319 family homes and uh the future development 2378 03:03:05,840 --> 03:03:12,319 and these two items are interrelated you know when we say reduce the density it 2379 03:03:10,000 --> 03:03:16,800 goes hand in hand you know why are we worried about density you know is 2380 03:03:14,080 --> 03:03:21,600 because it ties up into our issue of the burn not being consistent 2381 03:03:19,920 --> 03:03:24,720 okay as a hitchhike board member 2382 03:03:22,720 --> 03:03:28,000 and representing all the 100 plus families you know that about 2383 03:03:26,880 --> 03:03:33,040 the property we are very clear and consistent you 2384 03:03:29,920 --> 03:03:38,000 know all we are asking for is two things reduce the density and 2385 03:03:35,359 --> 03:03:43,200 have a consistent barrier between the single family homes existing single 2386 03:03:40,160 --> 03:03:46,960 family homes and future development and mr silverman is a very good 2387 03:03:45,200 --> 03:03:51,920 salesperson and we have seen this in the zoning board meeting where 2388 03:03:49,359 --> 03:03:55,680 his acquisition manager you know twisted the things and you know when we were 2389 03:03:53,520 --> 03:03:58,640 very clearly saying that please move the retention pond you know they were 2390 03:03:56,720 --> 03:04:02,160 consistently saying prediction point is a must you know we need to have it same 2391 03:04:00,560 --> 03:04:06,319 thing they were trying to do today you know they were saying i heard mr suman 2392 03:04:04,160 --> 03:04:11,120 silverman say you know there's no difference between having a nine foot 2393 03:04:08,240 --> 03:04:16,560 berm you know for most of the property and having a six feet five seconds on 2394 03:04:13,439 --> 03:04:21,520 top of it compared to having a six feet uh berm and eight feet 2395 03:04:18,960 --> 03:04:25,200 uh privacy fence on top of it right next to the retention pond so why don't we do 2396 03:04:24,080 --> 03:04:30,000 the same thing you know why don't you put a 14 feet privacy fence 2397 03:04:28,000 --> 03:04:33,600 why can't we do it it just doesn't make any sense 2398 03:04:31,279 --> 03:04:39,359 and you know mr silverman say was showing that his development you know is 2399 03:04:36,399 --> 03:04:43,600 having like 250 feet of buffer between the um 2400 03:04:42,080 --> 03:04:48,479 concrete structure you know our buildings and their concrete structures 2401 03:04:45,840 --> 03:04:50,880 and he was showing how lens was only 215 feet 2402 03:04:49,279 --> 03:04:56,000 again they're twisting facts here you know there is no retention pawn between 2403 03:04:53,120 --> 03:05:00,530 our our close bone south and villains and same thing again you know they uh 2404 03:04:58,240 --> 03:05:03,680 said about the retention pond um [Music] 2405 03:05:01,840 --> 03:05:07,600 yeah so those were the things that i wanted to mention and 2406 03:05:06,160 --> 03:05:10,160 we understand that 2407 03:05:08,399 --> 03:05:15,120 the trustees you know you have to make a decision keeping 2408 03:05:13,120 --> 03:05:19,840 the greater good of uh the township in mind but we also want 2409 03:05:17,840 --> 03:05:24,479 you to make sure that whatever decision you make should be in 2410 03:05:22,160 --> 03:05:30,479 the best interest of our neighborhood that is advertising the property and 2411 03:05:28,080 --> 03:05:35,680 please ensure that the nine feet berm and the six feet 2412 03:05:33,520 --> 03:05:41,040 privacy fence on top of it goes all the way from 2413 03:05:37,359 --> 03:05:46,160 north west of the property to the south west of uh 2414 03:05:43,279 --> 03:05:51,520 north east to northwest uh you know the whole perimeter you know and 2415 03:05:48,880 --> 03:05:56,080 like our other um neighbors have mentioned if you reduce the density all 2416 03:05:54,000 --> 03:06:01,120 we have to do is get rid of building one and building nine and that will address 2417 03:05:59,040 --> 03:06:04,720 they burn and like 2418 03:06:02,160 --> 03:06:08,000 the speaker before me mentioned you know the future commercial not having enough 2419 03:06:06,319 --> 03:06:12,319 parking spaces you know you cannot you cannot create land from thin air you 2420 03:06:10,319 --> 03:06:15,680 know tomorrow when they come back to you and we raise the question of where is 2421 03:06:14,160 --> 03:06:18,800 the parking for commercial where are we going to get it from 2422 03:06:17,200 --> 03:06:22,479 we can address it today by reducing the density where he'll have 2423 03:06:21,040 --> 03:06:28,600 more land you know to take care of future issues 2424 03:06:23,920 --> 03:06:28,600 um with that i conclude thank you 2425 03:06:45,840 --> 03:06:55,520 i have been sworn in my name is anne ball i live at 6863 tylersville road i 2426 03:06:52,560 --> 03:07:01,200 am not in the community rosemont i have been a resident of deerfield 2427 03:06:58,479 --> 03:07:06,240 township all my life my husband and i live in my on my 2428 03:07:03,680 --> 03:07:12,560 family's farm what's left of it in a foreign house 2429 03:07:08,640 --> 03:07:15,600 that has been there for nearly 200 years um 2430 03:07:13,680 --> 03:07:21,920 i'm going to talk about this from a little different perspective 2431 03:07:18,880 --> 03:07:26,160 obviously i've lived here all my life something's going to go on that piece of 2432 03:07:24,399 --> 03:07:29,760 property it probably will be this 2433 03:07:28,319 --> 03:07:35,680 development most of you probably know that mr lawson 2434 03:07:32,720 --> 03:07:39,680 has passed away bonnie passed away a while ago 2435 03:07:37,040 --> 03:07:44,080 so the next piece of property that belongs to them will be 2436 03:07:42,000 --> 03:07:48,080 here soon i'm sure talking about something going there 2437 03:07:49,439 --> 03:07:56,160 you have an opportunity to 2438 03:07:53,840 --> 03:08:00,240 make tylersville something different than what it currently is 2439 03:07:58,319 --> 03:08:04,240 and i know everybody thinks that tylersville is a major thoroughfare 2440 03:08:02,880 --> 03:08:08,880 which it is i live on it i have to get in and out of 2441 03:08:07,760 --> 03:08:16,080 it i have lived there all my life 2442 03:08:12,080 --> 03:08:21,359 i was there in a two-lane road i didn't used to be able to see down to the 2443 03:08:18,560 --> 03:08:25,920 intersection of snyder road or 42. 2444 03:08:23,359 --> 03:08:30,880 with all the changes that have been happened have gone on 2445 03:08:28,000 --> 03:08:35,359 we now have light that comes at our property and i have a two-story 2446 03:08:33,680 --> 03:08:39,920 home and 2447 03:08:37,680 --> 03:08:46,880 so i'm going to say to you when you put the new lights and that new 2448 03:08:43,680 --> 03:08:46,880 load that that new 2449 03:08:47,200 --> 03:08:54,640 the new development that's going to impact us 2450 03:08:52,000 --> 03:09:00,880 again we live there we do have farm equipment that still comes in and out of 2451 03:08:56,560 --> 03:09:04,880 our property and we are one voice to many others and and i'm not saying 2452 03:09:03,760 --> 03:09:08,640 the other issues aren't an issue 2453 03:09:07,359 --> 03:09:11,760 and what i'm going to say to you is not 2454 03:09:10,240 --> 03:09:15,120 going to change it but i want you to think about this 2455 03:09:13,520 --> 03:09:21,439 we have to get in and out of our property sometimes there's accidents and 2456 03:09:17,920 --> 03:09:24,560 we can't get in and out of our driveway so 2457 03:09:22,399 --> 03:09:29,040 there's going to be another light the timing of that light with the timing 2458 03:09:27,040 --> 03:09:33,840 of the light that's at butler warren and tylersville and then the timing of the 2459 03:09:31,040 --> 03:09:37,120 light that's down at snyder will impact us 2460 03:09:34,560 --> 03:09:42,560 so i'm going to say make decision what you're going to do but realize that 2461 03:09:39,920 --> 03:09:48,479 another 200 cars or whatever doesn't seem much because you don't live there 2462 03:09:45,920 --> 03:09:53,840 and there could be more with with whatever but 2463 03:09:50,880 --> 03:10:00,000 that timing does impact somebody that light impacts somebody the other 2464 03:09:56,160 --> 03:10:05,760 thing is that commercial will impact us and it bothers me that it's a different 2465 03:10:02,880 --> 03:10:10,800 paradigm then that's why you can't talk about what's going to be there and the 2466 03:10:07,600 --> 03:10:16,720 decision after you okay this commercial is going to be in phase two i've lived a 2467 03:10:13,439 --> 03:10:20,720 pod the pud across the road from us it was all supposed to be one-story 2468 03:10:18,640 --> 03:10:26,640 buildings guess what after the pud was approved they put a 2469 03:10:23,279 --> 03:10:32,080 two-story bank down at the corner yes that impacted us 2470 03:10:28,560 --> 03:10:37,439 it changed the line of sight that we had that was free before and would have been 2471 03:10:35,359 --> 03:10:41,600 still free and clear but they put a two story building down 2472 03:10:40,399 --> 03:10:47,200 there that's going to possibly happen here 2473 03:10:44,239 --> 03:10:52,800 depending on what the use is i'm sorry not having a plan with what's going that 2474 03:10:50,720 --> 03:10:58,000 commercial is going to look like you have a better plan an idea what's 2475 03:10:56,000 --> 03:11:03,840 going to be there if there's interest in it already there already has to be some 2476 03:11:01,520 --> 03:11:08,399 ability to say what those buildings are going to be and what and i understand in 2477 03:11:07,200 --> 03:11:13,200 previous meetings that they're going to be one 2478 03:11:10,080 --> 03:11:17,359 story i don't feel comfortable that once you approve this that phase two 2479 03:11:15,279 --> 03:11:22,800 something's not going to change it oh we want to put such and such there and it's 2480 03:11:19,520 --> 03:11:29,600 going to be a two-story building and the lighting 2481 03:11:24,640 --> 03:11:32,960 it does impact us it has changed i mean we can see 2482 03:11:31,040 --> 03:11:38,160 the the the lighting for the signs that you know 2483 03:11:35,600 --> 03:11:44,239 change it's not just a light with a you know a sign whatever down at snyder road 2484 03:11:41,520 --> 03:11:48,160 we can see that at night so 2485 03:11:45,680 --> 03:11:53,920 you have an opportunity with what you allow to be there and 2486 03:11:51,200 --> 03:11:59,840 what's going to come next and i have to say the neighborhood 2487 03:11:57,439 --> 03:12:04,479 the pd that's across from us the neighborhood that was behind them they 2488 03:12:02,239 --> 03:12:08,960 fought it because there was going to be a 24 hour there was going to be a 2489 03:12:06,640 --> 03:12:11,760 restaurant and a bar there that 2490 03:12:09,760 --> 03:12:16,399 that residential community didn't want that because they didn't want 24 2491 03:12:14,960 --> 03:12:21,200 you know our um you know in 2492 03:12:18,560 --> 03:12:26,080 traffic and all of that luckily that's the one thing about that pud it's a type 2493 03:12:23,840 --> 03:12:26,080 of 2494 03:12:26,160 --> 03:12:33,680 offices that people are there like eight to five whatever 2495 03:12:31,760 --> 03:12:39,200 who knows it's just more but you've got the opportunity to change the impact and 2496 03:12:36,880 --> 03:12:43,600 make tylersville road look 2497 03:12:40,000 --> 03:12:48,880 not like colerain avenue and i know that most people think it already does 2498 03:12:46,560 --> 03:12:55,279 but you can change it you can change it and i understand all 2499 03:12:51,600 --> 03:12:59,760 the things that the the rosemont residents are saying and i would be 2500 03:12:57,600 --> 03:13:04,160 upset with that myself something will go there 2501 03:13:01,520 --> 03:13:09,279 and when you own a piece of property you do have the right to sell it 2502 03:13:06,640 --> 03:13:13,600 believe me i wish that i could say that my property will never be something else 2503 03:13:12,640 --> 03:13:20,560 but progress is on toll is this what it's 2504 03:13:16,800 --> 03:13:25,680 what it is i wish it was what it was 60 years ago when it was farm and my 2505 03:13:23,120 --> 03:13:31,760 nearest neighbor was where the lawson's property was and that 2506 03:13:29,200 --> 03:13:35,920 actually was my grandmother's family's property at one time but it's going to 2507 03:13:34,479 --> 03:13:39,040 change and 2508 03:13:36,960 --> 03:13:43,279 i appreciate your time and 2509 03:13:40,800 --> 03:13:48,720 but just realize there is a resident on tylersville room 2510 03:13:45,359 --> 03:13:53,520 and what you do on those properties impacts someone else too 2511 03:13:51,120 --> 03:13:57,680 thank you so much miss paul one second i just one second if you could just walk 2512 03:13:55,040 --> 03:14:01,600 back um i just wanted you to know we do have a new zone that we're introducing 2513 03:14:00,000 --> 03:14:05,920 into our zoning code that protects property like yours for residents who 2514 03:14:04,080 --> 03:14:10,000 feel the exact same way that you feel and they don't want their land turned 2515 03:14:07,600 --> 03:14:13,359 into something down the road so i'll have somebody from the township reach 2516 03:14:11,279 --> 03:14:16,720 out to you directly for some more information about that and that gives 2517 03:14:14,800 --> 03:14:20,000 you a lot more freedom to protect your land 2518 03:14:18,080 --> 03:14:23,600 thank you for a few bucks i'll take the land and the cows because i think your 2519 03:14:22,160 --> 03:14:28,880 property is amazing but i'll have somebody from the township regionalities 2520 03:14:25,359 --> 03:14:33,040 i i appreciate that and actually thank thank goodness there are things called 2521 03:14:30,800 --> 03:14:38,319 ag districts of which we're a part of that also helps us and i'll put in a 2522 03:14:36,399 --> 03:14:43,520 little plug that's another reason that we have to maintain cauv as well 2523 03:14:41,680 --> 03:14:50,080 so that people can maintain their properties and have agriculture and 2524 03:14:47,359 --> 03:14:55,439 green space is not agriculture green space is not is not what everybody 2525 03:14:53,439 --> 03:14:58,479 claims that it is so but i do appreciate that thank you so 2526 03:14:57,600 --> 03:15:01,840 much about that 2527 03:15:00,479 --> 03:15:06,479 all right the last thing i have is just to recall jeffrey wu from earlier i'm 2528 03:15:04,080 --> 03:15:06,479 not sure 2529 03:15:13,680 --> 03:15:17,560 thank you everyone 2530 03:15:27,680 --> 03:15:31,680 but i do want to thank you all for coming up and speaking i know 2531 03:15:30,720 --> 03:15:35,840 it's not always easy and it's always 2532 03:15:36,000 --> 03:15:40,800 groups you're spending your entire evening with us which is 2533 03:15:39,520 --> 03:15:43,760 i'm sure there's things that would much rather have been doing on your tuesday 2534 03:15:42,080 --> 03:15:46,840 nights or your monday nights that you spent coming with zoning commission 2535 03:15:44,800 --> 03:15:51,040 meetings so i want to thank you very sincerely for that 2536 03:15:48,800 --> 03:15:54,640 um if that said would you guys like 2537 03:15:52,960 --> 03:15:58,399 the application you know and address some of the things okay would you mind 2538 03:15:59,920 --> 03:16:04,880 thank you 2539 03:16:02,640 --> 03:16:08,560 oh let me just 2540 03:16:06,560 --> 03:16:12,720 what you could lift that mic up to you yeah 2541 03:16:10,319 --> 03:16:15,720 everyone hear me okay so 2542 03:16:16,319 --> 03:16:21,760 you know we we've embarked on this process 2543 03:16:19,920 --> 03:16:25,359 january february is when we submit our original plan 2544 03:16:23,359 --> 03:16:29,200 and um you know 2545 03:16:26,800 --> 03:16:33,120 we as a developer sincerely put our best foot forward 2546 03:16:31,200 --> 03:16:38,160 in everything that we do we have sincerely throughout these proceedings 2547 03:16:36,960 --> 03:16:42,319 and a couple meetings 2548 03:16:40,000 --> 03:16:47,120 with rosemont south hoa outside of formal governmental proceedings 2549 03:16:45,279 --> 03:16:51,439 have listened to concerns 2550 03:16:48,800 --> 03:16:54,399 and had made best efforts to address concerns 2551 03:16:52,720 --> 03:16:58,000 and there's several things that i heard tonight 2552 03:16:55,600 --> 03:17:03,840 that i need i absolutely need to readdress because as a developer 2553 03:17:01,520 --> 03:17:08,319 we have to stand up here and make sure all of our eyes are dotted 2554 03:17:05,920 --> 03:17:13,680 and all of our t's are crossed and there's just some things that i 2555 03:17:11,200 --> 03:17:18,399 think really need to be reiterated and 2556 03:17:15,439 --> 03:17:21,600 driven home there's a lot of conversation and dialogue tonight 2557 03:17:20,000 --> 03:17:25,279 about the pond the pond at the northwest corner of the 2558 03:17:24,399 --> 03:17:29,840 site this would be a pond there's two types 2559 03:17:27,120 --> 03:17:34,560 of detention dry basins and wet basins 2560 03:17:31,359 --> 03:17:41,279 most people prefer wet basins because it's an aesthetic amenity they look nice 2561 03:17:38,560 --> 03:17:45,520 we typically aerate our ponds so um if you've ever noticed say for 2562 03:17:43,040 --> 03:17:48,960 example the pond in front of mercy uh medical office building on mason 2563 03:17:47,120 --> 03:17:54,080 montgomery road you know we we own that pond we put a big fountain there to keep 2564 03:17:51,840 --> 03:17:56,160 the water flowing and to try to cut down on 2565 03:17:54,800 --> 03:18:00,880 bugs and geese and everything else 2566 03:17:58,720 --> 03:18:05,279 so long cove is a great example i mean 2567 03:18:03,680 --> 03:18:09,680 long cove is a pretty flat piece of ground and 2568 03:18:07,040 --> 03:18:14,319 a bunch of wet detention pond basins became a real amenity 2569 03:18:12,319 --> 03:18:18,000 i think it's really important to point out i was looking at google earth 2570 03:18:16,160 --> 03:18:21,680 on my phone before i just want to make sure you're all 2571 03:18:19,359 --> 03:18:25,520 aware that there are wet detention ponds in the rosemont south subdivision 2572 03:18:24,640 --> 03:18:29,120 um i don't i don't think i have access to 2573 03:18:27,359 --> 03:18:32,880 google earth on this laptop or i'd show you but if you go to google earth and 2574 03:18:31,680 --> 03:18:37,279 you look at the rosemont south subdivision there are detention ponds 2575 03:18:35,359 --> 03:18:43,040 they are wet they appear to be wet basins so they're ponds and 2576 03:18:39,520 --> 03:18:47,439 many homes back right up to these ponds early on 2577 03:18:44,960 --> 03:18:53,120 first zoning commission meeting we heard concerns about safety we took those 2578 03:18:50,560 --> 03:18:58,399 concerns very seriously so i just want to reiterate that 2579 03:18:55,840 --> 03:19:04,239 we have proposed or committed to 2580 03:19:00,160 --> 03:19:09,600 a a six-foot privacy fence behind north of the pond so to keep 2581 03:19:07,200 --> 03:19:13,359 people out so people can't accidentally stumble into the pond 2582 03:19:11,279 --> 03:19:17,040 and then and also it's it's a visual buffer between 2583 03:19:15,279 --> 03:19:22,399 the neighbors to the north and this this development and then if you see here 2584 03:19:18,880 --> 03:19:27,120 there's a 45 degree angle that that is in a uh northeasterly southwesterly 2585 03:19:26,080 --> 03:19:32,080 direction that as well would be a six foot high 2586 03:19:29,680 --> 03:19:37,520 privacy fence then when it gets down on our property so heading south along our 2587 03:19:34,640 --> 03:19:42,399 western property line heading back east south of the pond and back up this way 2588 03:19:39,520 --> 03:19:45,120 there we're proposing a a four foot high fence it's more of the type of safety 2589 03:19:44,000 --> 03:19:48,640 fence that you would see around a swimming pool which 2590 03:19:46,960 --> 03:19:51,840 you know i think that's the whole reason that swimming pools are fenced and we're 2591 03:19:50,000 --> 03:19:55,600 proposing the same kind of fence there so 2592 03:19:52,720 --> 03:19:58,720 in terms of safety of a detention basin 2593 03:19:57,120 --> 03:20:03,920 i believe we've addressed that i don't believe that the ponds in rosemont south 2594 03:20:00,800 --> 03:20:07,920 have safety fencing around them detention ponds i mean i've been 2595 03:20:06,239 --> 03:20:11,600 doing this for quite a while now i i mean detention ponds are 2596 03:20:10,239 --> 03:20:17,439 necessary the reason that we have ponds is so as 2597 03:20:14,080 --> 03:20:23,040 john touched on earlier that the the rate of storm water leaving our 2598 03:20:20,720 --> 03:20:27,359 site post development 2599 03:20:25,040 --> 03:20:32,800 is equal roughly equal to the amount that's leaving the site 2600 03:20:29,600 --> 03:20:36,080 pre-development the pond is here for 2601 03:20:34,560 --> 03:20:38,960 folks that are downstream for their benefit 2602 03:20:37,359 --> 03:20:44,640 i mean that that's why it's there we have to hold water in in meter 2603 03:20:42,560 --> 03:20:48,880 you know the water leaving our site meter it in terms of just you know we 2604 03:20:46,800 --> 03:20:54,880 have to let it let it leave our site at a certain rate i think that's i think 2605 03:20:50,880 --> 03:20:54,880 that's an important point to make 2606 03:20:55,439 --> 03:21:01,680 i'd like to explain the berm again that we're proposing 2607 03:20:59,520 --> 03:21:05,200 behind the pond because i 2608 03:21:02,960 --> 03:21:09,840 you know i've listened to people speak this evening 2609 03:21:06,720 --> 03:21:13,359 and i'm not sure that there's and maybe maybe 2610 03:21:12,160 --> 03:21:18,800 it's our fault for not explaining it well but 2611 03:21:16,479 --> 03:21:23,760 the the visual impact and the 2612 03:21:21,200 --> 03:21:28,080 buffering that the mound provides this berm north of the pond 2613 03:21:26,080 --> 03:21:30,800 is going to provide the same 2614 03:21:29,279 --> 03:21:36,239 visual buffer so here here's kind of a cross 2615 03:21:33,359 --> 03:21:41,520 section of what we call the mouth this is the mound that traverses up most of 2616 03:21:39,680 --> 03:21:45,840 the northern property line as mentioned earlier the mound is nine 2617 03:21:43,760 --> 03:21:50,080 feet in height at the peak it's 70 feet wide 2618 03:21:48,080 --> 03:21:56,399 and there's a six foot high privacy fence on top so a nine foot mound plus a 2619 03:21:53,200 --> 03:22:01,600 six foot privacy fence that's 15 feet the top of the fence is 15 feet 2620 03:21:59,040 --> 03:22:05,760 from roughly from the elevation and our northern property line 2621 03:22:03,760 --> 03:22:08,640 there's a three to one slope here on the northern 2622 03:22:06,800 --> 03:22:13,359 uh side of the mound we're proposing 2623 03:22:10,640 --> 03:22:17,359 plantings just to visually provide some visual screening from the from the 2624 03:22:15,279 --> 03:22:22,479 privacy fence so that's what we are calling the mount 2625 03:22:20,479 --> 03:22:25,600 then if we flip forward a few slides 2626 03:22:24,720 --> 03:22:28,880 um we can see 2627 03:22:27,040 --> 03:22:32,640 what we're proposing north of the mount so i'm sorry north of 2628 03:22:31,120 --> 03:22:37,520 the pond so the mound that i just showed you the cross section of is here 2629 03:22:34,720 --> 03:22:41,920 and then it it it's it extends east west along most of the site but when you get 2630 03:22:39,520 --> 03:22:47,359 to this last section of the property in the northwest corner 2631 03:22:45,120 --> 03:22:51,439 we simply don't have room to do the full amount but 2632 03:22:49,279 --> 03:22:57,040 we call it a berm it's essentially half of a mound and and if you're standing 2633 03:22:54,399 --> 03:23:01,600 once again at our northern property line the visual impact is with is from with 2634 03:22:59,600 --> 03:23:04,960 what we're proposing is with is within one foot 2635 03:23:03,040 --> 03:23:09,600 one foot of what we're proposing for the mound so 2636 03:23:07,040 --> 03:23:14,960 we've got a three to one slope looks very similar to 2637 03:23:11,600 --> 03:23:14,960 the three to one slope here 2638 03:23:15,040 --> 03:23:21,600 that mount height i believe is about six feet and then on top of that 2639 03:23:19,520 --> 03:23:26,479 we have an eight foot high privacy fence to get to 14 feet 2640 03:23:23,520 --> 03:23:32,720 it's within approximately one foot um and once again we're proposing to 2641 03:23:29,920 --> 03:23:38,800 provide plantings on this northern face of this berm to provide the same kind of 2642 03:23:35,359 --> 03:23:44,160 screening so people don't have to look at the privacy fence i think the concern 2643 03:23:41,920 --> 03:23:47,920 about light spillage from the headlights i think 2644 03:23:45,439 --> 03:23:51,439 i i mean i don't i think john del vernon didn't even bear becker and and i just 2645 03:23:50,080 --> 03:23:55,600 want to say bear becker's been in business for 60 years this is a very 2646 03:23:54,319 --> 03:24:00,399 reputable civil engineering firm 2647 03:23:58,000 --> 03:24:05,040 they're very very good at what they do and they've provided engineering for 2648 03:24:03,680 --> 03:24:09,120 you know developments of all different sizes all 2649 03:24:07,439 --> 03:24:13,920 throughout greater cincinnati northern kentucky and 2650 03:24:10,960 --> 03:24:15,600 indiana as well so but 2651 03:24:14,720 --> 03:24:20,399 you know john gave the the elevations from kind 2652 03:24:18,319 --> 03:24:24,479 of the intersection of fireside drive and and we don't believe that light 2653 03:24:22,080 --> 03:24:28,640 spillage um is going to be any concern whatsoever 2654 03:24:26,560 --> 03:24:33,520 for the residents north of here due to the graves due to this berm due to the 2655 03:24:31,279 --> 03:24:38,720 fence on top of the berm um so i wanted to run through that again 2656 03:24:36,399 --> 03:24:42,239 i also um i heard concerns about traffic tonight 2657 03:24:41,439 --> 03:24:47,279 and i i sometimes feel like when we address 2658 03:24:44,640 --> 03:24:47,279 one issue 2659 03:24:47,680 --> 03:24:53,439 uh there's people that get up and stand up and go back 2660 03:24:52,080 --> 03:24:56,479 to their original position in other words we heard a lot of feedback early 2661 03:24:55,760 --> 03:24:59,520 on in the zenith commission meetings 2662 03:24:58,080 --> 03:25:04,399 that that the rosemont south neighbors did not 2663 03:25:02,080 --> 03:25:07,600 unequivocally did not want a connection point 2664 03:25:05,359 --> 03:25:10,640 from this development to thornberry court 2665 03:25:08,800 --> 03:25:14,880 here let me let me move back 2666 03:25:12,720 --> 03:25:19,520 okay they did not want this connection point 2667 03:25:16,640 --> 03:25:19,520 they thought it would 2668 03:25:19,680 --> 03:25:25,439 cause traffic and in their subdivision which 2669 03:25:23,279 --> 03:25:30,239 you know i think the only time somebody visiting uh 2670 03:25:28,160 --> 03:25:33,680 a store here or living here would would drive there would be maybe if they had a 2671 03:25:32,080 --> 03:25:39,120 friend or family member that lived there but but that was a real concern 2672 03:25:36,880 --> 03:25:45,359 and so the warren county engineers office agreed to just allow this to be 2673 03:25:42,160 --> 03:25:50,000 emergency access only gated access that a typical vehicle 2674 03:25:47,279 --> 03:25:53,600 is not going to be able to get from this this side of the gate to thornbury court 2675 03:25:52,080 --> 03:25:58,560 and then tonight we hear people concern 2676 03:25:55,520 --> 03:26:01,520 that we only have one point of access but so 2677 03:25:59,920 --> 03:26:05,840 we heard the concerns loud and clear about this and then tonight we hear well 2678 03:26:04,080 --> 03:26:08,880 now we only have one point of access so i mean 2679 03:26:06,880 --> 03:26:12,880 you know we're doing our best to solve issues but but but then 2680 03:26:11,200 --> 03:26:18,800 you know i hear a lot of kind of changing 2681 03:26:16,399 --> 03:26:21,920 people changing their positions the same thing applies to school there 2682 03:26:20,720 --> 03:26:25,680 was a lot there was a lot of commentary 2683 03:26:24,160 --> 03:26:29,920 from concerned neighbors about the impacts that this would have to the 2684 03:26:27,359 --> 03:26:34,800 school district concerns about mason schools it's getting crowded so we 2685 03:26:32,399 --> 03:26:40,560 provided facts that show the proof that our apartment communities 2686 03:26:37,520 --> 03:26:44,720 in deerfield township are hardly adding any strain to the schools but but adding 2687 03:26:42,720 --> 03:26:49,600 a significant amount of school of revenue for the schools so in 2688 03:26:47,600 --> 03:26:53,680 increasing the buffer and eliminating the town homes which are three bedroom 2689 03:26:51,279 --> 03:26:57,680 units those were the most likely to attract maybe school-age kids um you 2690 03:26:56,080 --> 03:27:03,439 know we thought we were solving a couple issues one providing a 2691 03:27:00,560 --> 03:27:06,399 much more robust buffer and two getting rid of 70 bedrooms and then 2692 03:27:05,279 --> 03:27:09,279 tonight we hear a lot about 2693 03:27:08,080 --> 03:27:13,120 well there's not going to be any kids living here but early on at the zenith 2694 03:27:11,200 --> 03:27:16,800 commission meetings that's that's a big part of what we heard was oh there's 2695 03:27:15,520 --> 03:27:20,479 going to be all these you're adding you know 196 units and there's going to be 2696 03:27:18,880 --> 03:27:25,200 all these kids and mason schools requesting at the seams so i wanted to 2697 03:27:23,200 --> 03:27:28,239 point that out um 2698 03:27:26,080 --> 03:27:31,359 i also want to make it clear i think the board probably knows this but i just 2699 03:27:30,000 --> 03:27:34,560 want to make it clear to everybody here tonight 2700 03:27:32,399 --> 03:27:38,960 we were not the developer that proposed the plan back in 2014. i 2701 03:27:37,439 --> 03:27:42,560 just want to make that unequivocally clear i don't even know who the 2702 03:27:40,479 --> 03:27:48,640 developer was and i don't really think that plans at all germane to anything 2703 03:27:44,880 --> 03:27:53,040 we're discussing tonight because in 2014 the vision for 2035 landings plan wasn't 2704 03:27:51,120 --> 03:27:56,640 even adopted it wasn't adopted in 2014 so that 2705 03:27:55,600 --> 03:28:00,319 developer i'm not sure if there's a landing's 2706 03:27:58,080 --> 03:28:04,399 planned before that but that developer even either went in with without any 2707 03:28:02,160 --> 03:28:08,479 kind of guide or went in with 2708 03:28:05,600 --> 03:28:12,960 you know maybe with looking at the prior land use plan but 2709 03:28:10,479 --> 03:28:18,399 the vision for for 2035 which is the current landings plan was not adopted 2710 03:28:15,120 --> 03:28:21,840 until 2015. as a developer we have an appreciation for how much time effort 2711 03:28:20,880 --> 03:28:26,800 money communities spent on their comprehensive 2712 03:28:23,680 --> 03:28:29,840 plan on their landings plan for us that's our guide 2713 03:28:28,399 --> 03:28:34,319 i mean staff takes it seriously developers take 2714 03:28:32,319 --> 03:28:39,840 it seriously because that is our guide that is our roadmap 2715 03:28:36,960 --> 03:28:44,160 to to uh guide us to make sure that we're presenting something that is 2716 03:28:41,760 --> 03:28:48,399 consistent with the township's uh desires 2717 03:28:45,439 --> 03:28:51,040 uh vis-a-vis our land use plan and 2718 03:28:49,680 --> 03:28:56,319 there are this plan is absolutely consistent 2719 03:28:54,319 --> 03:29:01,120 with the land use plan i think you have an excellent staff here 2720 03:28:58,399 --> 03:29:05,040 i think the staff report laid out many of the consistencies we 2721 03:29:03,279 --> 03:29:08,880 laid out many of the consistencies this evening this plant has received support 2722 03:29:07,359 --> 03:29:13,600 from the warren county regional planning commission unanimous support from the 2723 03:29:11,359 --> 03:29:17,680 deerfield township zoning commission and every step of the way 2724 03:29:15,920 --> 03:29:20,880 every board that's reviewed this has felt 2725 03:29:18,800 --> 03:29:25,760 strongly that this plan is in fact consistent with the land display 2726 03:29:23,520 --> 03:29:25,760 um 2727 03:29:26,160 --> 03:29:33,680 a couple other points i'd like to make somebody mentioned the 2728 03:29:31,359 --> 03:29:37,920 showed a graphic or a site plan of the previous plan from 2014 2729 03:29:36,080 --> 03:29:41,600 and showed the pond the pond 2730 03:29:39,359 --> 03:29:46,640 was at the north right on the northern property line in the 2014 plan 2731 03:29:44,560 --> 03:29:50,080 it was moved over a little bit but 2732 03:29:47,520 --> 03:29:54,479 generally in the same vicinity i mean it was it was there it was maybe right here 2733 03:29:52,560 --> 03:29:58,160 instead of right here but it was right on the northern property line it wasn't 2734 03:29:56,880 --> 03:30:02,960 down here it was it was right up here 2735 03:30:00,560 --> 03:30:05,200 so i want to make that point um 2736 03:30:05,359 --> 03:30:12,160 you know i just i want to correct some factual error somebody made a comparison 2737 03:30:09,600 --> 03:30:16,479 to the grandstand which was located on wilkins boulevard and said something to 2738 03:30:14,720 --> 03:30:23,200 the effect that cars could just drive right into somebody's living room i mean 2739 03:30:20,560 --> 03:30:28,319 the fact is there's a retaining wall along the entire east face of the 2740 03:30:25,920 --> 03:30:32,640 grandstand of wilkins boulevard so i mean i i just you know we 2741 03:30:30,399 --> 03:30:36,720 we always have to get up and state facts and be very careful of facts and i you 2742 03:30:34,560 --> 03:30:40,399 know i i just i want to point that out because it's just factually untrue 2743 03:30:39,120 --> 03:30:43,600 you know if you listen to that individual you think that the grandstone 2744 03:30:42,000 --> 03:30:47,760 is on grade with wilkins boulevard people can just you know drive their car 2745 03:30:45,359 --> 03:30:51,439 right in it's not it sits it sits above grade it sits 2746 03:30:49,520 --> 03:30:55,600 enough above grade that there's a fairly significant retaining wall there so i 2747 03:30:53,840 --> 03:31:00,000 just wanted to make that point um somebody mentioned that during covet 2748 03:30:58,000 --> 03:31:04,000 there's no more demand for for apartments um 2749 03:31:05,359 --> 03:31:12,239 we have found that uh the reality is 2750 03:31:09,120 --> 03:31:16,960 diametrically opposite of that um the demand that we've seen at one deerfield 2751 03:31:14,239 --> 03:31:21,680 which opened last year we are now 100 lease i mean 2752 03:31:18,640 --> 03:31:25,840 the the amount of applications that we have seen at one deerfield over the last 2753 03:31:23,439 --> 03:31:28,880 six months is astounding it's it's better than anything we've seen during 2754 03:31:28,000 --> 03:31:32,239 the best leasing months of a non-pandemic 2755 03:31:30,800 --> 03:31:35,760 year so while uh 2756 03:31:33,920 --> 03:31:39,520 you know it simply wasn't a factual statement there there's a lot of demand 2757 03:31:37,760 --> 03:31:43,439 for apartments we see companies in the deerfield 2758 03:31:41,520 --> 03:31:47,439 township area hiring all the time we see people transferring in with with with 2759 03:31:45,920 --> 03:31:51,840 jobs you know honeywell intelligrated png is doing a 2760 03:31:50,000 --> 03:31:55,520 lot of hiring so it simply was was just not a true 2761 03:31:54,399 --> 03:31:57,840 statement um 2762 03:31:58,000 --> 03:32:04,880 i think uh the one last thing i want to point out is 2763 03:32:02,239 --> 03:32:09,120 two last things the green space once again i just i want to reiterate we have 2764 03:32:06,960 --> 03:32:12,640 almost 40 percent green space open space 2765 03:32:11,120 --> 03:32:15,840 um would you 2766 03:32:13,439 --> 03:32:18,960 choose your your terminology but 2767 03:32:16,720 --> 03:32:24,640 i mean i'm sorry that's that's that's the old plan let me go flip back to the 2768 03:32:22,000 --> 03:32:24,640 newer plan 2769 03:32:33,040 --> 03:32:38,399 and one of the zoning commission members made the comment they didn't think 2770 03:32:36,800 --> 03:32:41,279 they'd ever seen a plan come through deerfield township 2771 03:32:39,920 --> 03:32:44,080 with 40 open space 2772 03:32:42,560 --> 03:32:46,640 40 and and 2773 03:32:45,040 --> 03:32:50,399 which far exceeds the township requirement and then uh 48 2774 03:32:49,200 --> 03:32:55,359 of that of that open space is active open space so we 2775 03:32:53,279 --> 03:32:59,040 have these huge green areas these are not insignificant and these areas are 2776 03:32:58,000 --> 03:33:03,359 you know 70 80 feet wide 2777 03:33:01,120 --> 03:33:09,120 this buffer is very significant there is a lot of open space 2778 03:33:06,800 --> 03:33:14,800 within this proposed plan and then lastly i just want to talk about 2779 03:33:11,520 --> 03:33:14,800 the density because 2780 03:33:14,880 --> 03:33:20,800 i think staff did a really good job with this this slide i don't think i can get 2781 03:33:18,800 --> 03:33:24,239 it up here but basically 2782 03:33:22,160 --> 03:33:28,800 the township used to uh calculate density on a gross density basis 2783 03:33:26,560 --> 03:33:34,720 and and then something changed and now it's on a net 2784 03:33:30,640 --> 03:33:40,160 density basis i mean basically when i mean as far as the impact it's exactly 2785 03:33:37,279 --> 03:33:43,439 the same so take grantstone for example when grandstone went through the 2786 03:33:41,439 --> 03:33:48,239 township was still looking at things on a gross density basis 2787 03:33:45,200 --> 03:33:52,880 grandstone is 122 units on 5.4 acres that's 22.59 units per acre 2788 03:33:51,680 --> 03:33:58,560 and but now if you look at it net density 2789 03:33:56,000 --> 03:34:02,640 it's 33 units in acres so it's but but the impact of the 2790 03:34:00,720 --> 03:34:07,200 grandstand didn't change on paper suddenly it went from 22 units an acre 2791 03:34:04,560 --> 03:34:12,080 to 33 units an acre but nothing changed it's not generating more traffic now 2792 03:34:09,359 --> 03:34:14,399 it's it's numbers on a piece of paper um 2793 03:34:12,960 --> 03:34:18,239 and and you know 2794 03:34:15,600 --> 03:34:22,080 this proposal is is half as dense in the grandstone and in it either way you look 2795 03:34:20,640 --> 03:34:26,720 at it whether you want to look at it on a gross density or net density 2796 03:34:24,399 --> 03:34:32,960 it's of a lower density than deerfield springs district of deerfield latitude 2797 03:34:29,840 --> 03:34:37,040 grandstone and it's it's comparable to nantucket 2798 03:34:34,399 --> 03:34:41,359 so i mean my contention is in our content is that it's really not it's not 2799 03:34:39,359 --> 03:34:46,319 very dense and there's a lot of green space and there's a very robust buffer 2800 03:34:44,479 --> 03:34:50,160 and um you know just 2801 03:34:47,920 --> 03:34:53,840 when the township went from a gross density calculation to a net density 2802 03:34:52,399 --> 03:34:57,600 everything in the township got more dense i mean 2803 03:34:55,200 --> 03:35:01,359 every every every community every every development got more dance 2804 03:34:59,279 --> 03:35:06,160 but that doesn't mean the impacts have 2805 03:35:02,800 --> 03:35:11,040 have been enhanced or or are more severe now so 2806 03:35:07,279 --> 03:35:14,080 um appreciate the additional time and um we're certainly here i don't know if 2807 03:35:12,319 --> 03:35:18,399 anyone else from our team wants to get up and say anything but we're here to 2808 03:35:15,279 --> 03:35:22,479 answer any questions that you might have can i have one 2809 03:35:20,160 --> 03:35:24,880 15 seconds to get you over we're done 2810 03:35:25,550 --> 03:35:28,750 [Music] 2811 03:36:04,800 --> 03:36:08,399 this will be my last warning to you 2812 03:36:11,760 --> 03:36:14,160 thank you 2813 03:36:15,680 --> 03:36:21,560 all right we need to make 2814 03:36:33,040 --> 03:36:41,840 sister to close the public comment portion of this that's my hotel yeah 2815 03:36:38,479 --> 03:36:45,840 yes mr sicily yes all right all right you know i may go ahead you 2816 03:36:44,319 --> 03:36:50,319 guys are free to watch during this portion of the prototype portion of this 2817 03:36:47,840 --> 03:36:55,040 is over the whole concept of due process is allowing everyone an opportunity to 2818 03:36:52,800 --> 03:36:59,600 speak and then it also allows the opportunity for the applicant to get up 2819 03:36:57,120 --> 03:37:03,439 and say anything in their butt anything that was said before that once that's 2820 03:37:01,520 --> 03:37:06,080 done you're allowed to participate by watching but you're not allowed to 2821 03:37:04,720 --> 03:37:10,000 participate by by talking so they'll deliberate 2822 03:37:08,080 --> 03:37:14,560 publicly and then they'll come to a decision but this can't be a process 2823 03:37:12,239 --> 03:37:18,319 where whatever they have to say you all want to say yes but this that'll be it i 2824 03:37:16,880 --> 03:37:22,160 definitely get the propensity as a resident or an applicant 2825 03:37:20,160 --> 03:37:26,399 for one to do that it was very important i'll be very 2826 03:37:23,439 --> 03:37:31,680 um insistent on the fact the fact that this is now their job to do without 2827 03:37:29,200 --> 03:37:34,000 additional input thank you 2828 03:37:35,920 --> 03:37:40,399 thank you sure so 2829 03:37:41,040 --> 03:37:45,000 you want to start 2830 03:37:45,359 --> 03:37:51,040 well i think that clearly 2831 03:37:48,880 --> 03:37:55,279 zone changes are the most important thing that we do this is a change 2832 03:37:55,520 --> 03:38:01,040 so you have to be willing to look at that 2833 03:37:58,560 --> 03:38:05,600 map and think that yes i need to change the zone on this and all of these 2834 03:38:02,960 --> 03:38:09,840 reasons we're compelling enough to do it there's a lot of compelling reasons but 2835 03:38:07,359 --> 03:38:12,479 is it enough it doesn't line up with 2836 03:38:11,439 --> 03:38:17,920 changing the color on the map for the zone 2837 03:38:16,239 --> 03:38:21,600 and that's really something we have to unpack because we have a lot of 2838 03:38:19,680 --> 03:38:25,359 information here but the one thing that i keep coming 2839 03:38:23,920 --> 03:38:30,080 back to is growth management growth management for 2840 03:38:28,319 --> 03:38:33,199 advancement this is what we all ran on smart development 2841 03:38:34,160 --> 03:38:40,080 so i've driven up and down tylersville a million times in the past decade 2842 03:38:38,640 --> 03:38:43,840 i can't tell you how many times since this case has been coming before 2843 03:38:42,319 --> 03:38:47,680 the only commission there's houses there's single family houses all up and 2844 03:38:45,920 --> 03:38:50,560 down tylersville there's single family houses all up and down based on 2845 03:38:49,040 --> 03:38:54,880 montgomery find a major road without single family 2846 03:38:52,800 --> 03:38:58,800 on there and explain to me why this can't be single family 2847 03:38:56,960 --> 03:39:01,199 i think the zone is i think the zone's correct 2848 03:39:01,760 --> 03:39:08,640 i think the zone is correct this plan doesn't work for me for a lot 2849 03:39:06,080 --> 03:39:12,960 of reasons this plan is very confused there's not transition here there's 2850 03:39:11,040 --> 03:39:15,760 commercial here and then there's very high density apartment buildings and for 2851 03:39:14,880 --> 03:39:17,920 me even knowing 2852 03:39:17,120 --> 03:39:22,479 that silverman's products are amazing that my 2853 03:39:20,640 --> 03:39:27,439 10 year will run away from home right now to go live in his apartment they are 2854 03:39:24,800 --> 03:39:33,279 classy they're they're brilliant this is not the right spot for this 2855 03:39:29,680 --> 03:39:33,279 development in my opinion 2856 03:39:33,760 --> 03:39:41,920 so i i'm gonna stand with the the zone is the right zone single family is 2857 03:39:39,520 --> 03:39:44,479 absolutely the most impossible thing to get 2858 03:39:42,720 --> 03:39:48,479 in our zip code if you build it they will come 2859 03:39:46,560 --> 03:39:53,279 and that's not to take away from anything that 2860 03:39:50,800 --> 03:39:57,199 mr silverman has done at his other locations 2861 03:39:54,800 --> 03:40:01,640 nothing separate the two is this still in the right zone 2862 03:39:58,479 --> 03:40:01,640 right now 2863 03:40:10,000 --> 03:40:14,880 through all this time looking at 2864 03:40:13,600 --> 03:40:18,160 all the the different versions and proposals and 2865 03:40:16,880 --> 03:40:22,640 everything that was not something that i had 2866 03:40:20,080 --> 03:40:22,640 considered 2867 03:40:26,560 --> 03:40:32,040 my biggest concerns are 2868 03:40:32,080 --> 03:40:38,399 it's it's like it's been mentioned several times before 2869 03:40:35,520 --> 03:40:43,279 some things don't want to be there um 2870 03:40:40,160 --> 03:40:48,160 what is the smartest thing for us to focus on 2871 03:40:46,560 --> 03:40:50,560 um and 2872 03:40:48,960 --> 03:40:55,199 the the thing that keeps coming back to me is is when 2873 03:40:52,640 --> 03:40:57,520 when i'm taking notes and i hear um 2874 03:40:57,920 --> 03:41:05,040 it seems like it's so close um that 2875 03:41:02,319 --> 03:41:08,560 this this development can can be successful 2876 03:41:08,880 --> 03:41:14,640 but there would like to be just there's there needs to be a little bit more 2877 03:41:13,199 --> 03:41:18,640 movement and i know that there's been a great 2878 03:41:16,479 --> 03:41:22,640 deal of compliments and and i 2879 03:41:20,160 --> 03:41:27,279 i respect that and i appreciate that that that means a lot to me 2880 03:41:24,960 --> 03:41:31,040 when i'm trying to think about some of these issues with 2881 03:41:29,439 --> 03:41:35,120 you know compromise for the residents compromised from the developers and 2882 03:41:33,439 --> 03:41:42,399 their plans and how this has changed several times um 2883 03:41:39,520 --> 03:41:48,000 so when i looked at it my thinking wasn't from the standpoint 2884 03:41:44,720 --> 03:41:52,560 of single family my view of this was 2885 03:41:50,880 --> 03:41:56,399 what can we do to consider 2886 03:41:54,399 --> 03:41:58,479 all of those houses at the top 2887 03:41:57,439 --> 03:42:02,000 um and 2888 03:41:59,520 --> 03:42:06,160 if that means that we need to consider 2889 03:42:04,160 --> 03:42:10,960 extending that amount and 2890 03:42:07,120 --> 03:42:15,600 sliding the retention on down the possibility of doing that i 2891 03:42:13,040 --> 03:42:21,439 understand that that might impact um 2892 03:42:17,040 --> 03:42:21,439 building more in in this case 2893 03:42:22,560 --> 03:42:28,720 that has the possibility of lowering some of the density which is something 2894 03:42:26,160 --> 03:42:33,600 that that some of the um the residents have mentioned it has an impact on 2895 03:42:34,000 --> 03:42:42,800 any possibility of light pollution that can come in whether it's realized 2896 03:42:39,040 --> 03:42:48,800 or not that has an opportunity to um to impact those specific houses behind 2897 03:42:46,080 --> 03:42:53,520 their retention pond um and 2898 03:42:49,520 --> 03:42:57,040 and then if we provide more of that um 2899 03:42:54,560 --> 03:43:02,239 that sort of barrier between the families the residences in the north and 2900 03:43:01,040 --> 03:43:07,040 um the retention pond and that can also 2901 03:43:04,160 --> 03:43:12,080 alleviate some of the uh concerns in terms of 2902 03:43:08,720 --> 03:43:15,920 safety and and and i appreciate that the the fencing that goes around i know that 2903 03:43:13,920 --> 03:43:19,040 goes in one way um but 2904 03:43:17,120 --> 03:43:25,040 you know being able to have that barrier as well um could alleviate that so it to 2905 03:43:22,319 --> 03:43:33,040 me it seems like that if if we can evaluate just a little bit 2906 03:43:28,319 --> 03:43:36,960 more of that it would um it would alleviate a lot of of the 2907 03:43:35,680 --> 03:43:40,479 concerns from a number of of the residents and 2908 03:43:39,680 --> 03:43:43,120 then another thing that i that was mentioned 2909 03:43:42,319 --> 03:43:47,279 is this property 2910 03:43:44,479 --> 03:43:52,960 next to it is is going to be developed as well um and if 2911 03:43:51,760 --> 03:43:57,279 we can again include 2912 03:43:54,479 --> 03:44:03,199 sort of that um that barrier up at the top that burn the top that provides some 2913 03:44:00,399 --> 03:44:06,239 of the consistency into possible future development whether that's 2914 03:44:05,199 --> 03:44:10,640 you know a single family or whether that's you know 2915 03:44:08,000 --> 03:44:16,160 another resource density so when i look at 2916 03:44:12,239 --> 03:44:18,960 this i i think that it could be a successful 2917 03:44:18,080 --> 03:44:22,399 um development 2918 03:44:21,120 --> 03:44:26,560 all around with a little bit of those a little bit 2919 03:44:25,199 --> 03:44:30,479 of those tweaks so why do you think single family can't 2920 03:44:28,239 --> 03:44:35,359 work for i'm not saying that it can't 2921 03:44:33,520 --> 03:44:40,239 um i think some some of my concern is is as 2922 03:44:38,880 --> 03:44:46,239 you have going 2923 03:44:42,080 --> 03:44:52,239 east down tylersville um you've got doctors offices you've got you know some 2924 03:44:48,800 --> 03:44:57,040 of some of that commercial um and then you've got 2925 03:44:53,840 --> 03:45:01,199 the the agriculture area that will be developed in the future um 2926 03:45:01,680 --> 03:45:10,160 i'm not developing her land yeah well as as we go as we go further down that's 2927 03:45:07,359 --> 03:45:14,239 that's true um and and i i get that i understand that's that's the point that 2928 03:45:12,000 --> 03:45:20,160 i'm trying to like i was not thinking from any 2929 03:45:15,760 --> 03:45:23,279 um in any capacity of single family and being necessarily 2930 03:45:21,910 --> 03:45:27,800 [Music] successful 2931 03:45:24,800 --> 03:45:27,800 on 2932 03:45:35,600 --> 03:45:41,359 how can we make this how do we make this work for everybody 2933 03:45:39,120 --> 03:45:44,560 but this is the first go-around right 2934 03:45:42,160 --> 03:45:49,199 and so i just want you to really understand that 2935 03:45:46,800 --> 03:45:53,199 when you make this is your first zone case right your zoning 2936 03:45:51,199 --> 03:45:58,160 case yeah yeah like when you change the color it's 2937 03:45:55,760 --> 03:46:03,199 permanent and you know you need to really understand why you're doing that 2938 03:46:00,080 --> 03:46:08,080 and an example would be the golf center there the first proposal was 200 and 2939 03:46:06,160 --> 03:46:12,960 some multi-family homes back there we were told single family could never go 2940 03:46:09,600 --> 03:46:16,239 back there could never work there's single-family homes back there 2941 03:46:14,399 --> 03:46:20,160 right now they went like this with power lines through them and everything else 2942 03:46:18,000 --> 03:46:20,160 so 2943 03:46:20,319 --> 03:46:26,560 this is a first go around it doesn't mean it's even something you have to 2944 03:46:23,680 --> 03:46:26,560 really work with 2945 03:46:27,120 --> 03:46:32,720 but you have to be absolutely committed that if you're gonna say yeah we should 2946 03:46:30,479 --> 03:46:39,439 change the zone so our job as trustees 2947 03:46:36,080 --> 03:46:43,120 considering his own change is not to think of alternate solutions 2948 03:46:41,600 --> 03:46:48,000 to evaluate is the zone king zone that's on it now 2949 03:46:45,760 --> 03:46:53,279 the highest and best use in alignment with our comprehensive plan in alignment 2950 03:46:50,800 --> 03:46:57,760 with what's around it in alignment with what's best for the entire township or 2951 03:46:56,160 --> 03:47:01,439 is this new zone not is there another zone that could be 2952 03:46:59,600 --> 03:47:04,239 better because that's not on the table right now 2953 03:47:02,720 --> 03:47:07,199 so because it kind of sounds like you were 2954 03:47:05,359 --> 03:47:10,080 venturing off into like a little bit of like uh 2955 03:47:09,120 --> 03:47:12,960 and i don't know if that's what you were doing 2956 03:47:11,199 --> 03:47:16,640 uh i don't know i'm just reading right now to be honest with you so okay no 2957 03:47:15,840 --> 03:47:18,960 idea you give 2958 03:47:24,640 --> 03:47:30,080 no i asked him is he comfortable changing the zone 2959 03:47:28,640 --> 03:47:32,640 that's what i asked him are you comfortable doing that and that you 2960 03:47:31,279 --> 03:47:35,840 don't have to figure out what the next step is you're deciding right now that's 2961 03:47:34,399 --> 03:47:41,040 what i was trying to say you don't have to figure out what what comes next right 2962 03:47:37,840 --> 03:47:43,840 yeah it's not working to do okay so 2963 03:47:41,760 --> 03:47:47,840 um just to get some of my initial thoughts 2964 03:47:45,439 --> 03:47:47,840 out 2965 03:47:49,520 --> 03:47:55,120 the retention i mean i'm hearing that that we did strike the compromise if 2966 03:47:53,680 --> 03:47:58,840 they extend the berm and the 2967 03:47:56,560 --> 03:48:02,960 move the retention bond but then i'm also hearing that you 2968 03:48:02,080 --> 03:48:06,319 know single family is really like what you 2969 03:48:05,120 --> 03:48:08,720 guys want you're going to be compromising it's 2970 03:48:07,760 --> 03:48:11,279 going to be kind of a 2971 03:48:11,520 --> 03:48:17,120 letdown but just to get it that way which that's not what they want for 2972 03:48:16,080 --> 03:48:21,199 anyone i'm uncomfortable with the 2973 03:48:19,279 --> 03:48:26,319 commercial out front that we don't really know what it's going to be 2974 03:48:23,439 --> 03:48:28,800 at this point um and i see like the common beer company which is right there 2975 03:48:27,840 --> 03:48:32,800 which is closed and has been empty for a while 2976 03:48:31,600 --> 03:48:35,840 and would be a great place for another 2977 03:48:34,000 --> 03:48:39,680 restaurant to pop in and hasn't done so yet and so it makes me uncomfortable at 2978 03:48:38,080 --> 03:48:42,479 this point especially hearing what you guys are saying 2979 03:48:41,199 --> 03:48:45,680 um and when they said they didn't know 2980 03:48:43,920 --> 03:48:48,720 exactly what that person was i'm not comfortable with with approving 2981 03:48:47,600 --> 03:48:52,720 something if i'm not going to know what's going in there at this point i 2982 03:48:50,720 --> 03:48:58,399 thought we had a better clearer kind of idea of what was going there 2983 03:48:56,640 --> 03:49:02,239 so i i appreciate 2984 03:49:00,160 --> 03:49:05,920 everything that everyone has done and everyone is across 2985 03:49:04,000 --> 03:49:11,040 the table and talk about them i hear what you're saying about 2986 03:49:08,880 --> 03:49:11,040 if 2987 03:49:11,199 --> 03:49:16,720 but i also see what's in our comprehensive plan 2988 03:49:13,920 --> 03:49:21,760 where we said that it should be a step down from 2989 03:49:19,359 --> 03:49:24,920 business down to because that's alright already is a long 2990 03:49:23,920 --> 03:49:28,960 highly skilled road [Music] 2991 03:49:26,800 --> 03:49:33,760 so so this is tricky and i guess i'm not making much sense i'm not steering us in 2992 03:49:30,960 --> 03:49:36,960 a direction either way here right now um i'm just kind of just part of the 2993 03:49:35,040 --> 03:49:40,399 discussion to try and continue this session without 2994 03:49:38,560 --> 03:49:45,520 you making a decision myself right now well the character is a recommendation 2995 03:49:42,880 --> 03:49:50,000 it's not set in stone it's fluent it's a character area 2996 03:49:47,520 --> 03:49:54,399 and it's saying no to this doesn't mean no always 2997 03:49:51,520 --> 03:49:58,720 it means this isn't the right plan for the density for the retail aspect or 2998 03:49:57,600 --> 03:50:03,840 the transition there's a lot of reasons that 2999 03:50:01,279 --> 03:50:09,279 this isn't the right plan so you stick with where you're at and 3000 03:50:07,199 --> 03:50:13,680 see what what comes back breathe forward maybe it's silver maybe 3001 03:50:11,279 --> 03:50:19,040 somebody else but the character area is the recommendation the zone is permanent 3002 03:50:32,479 --> 03:50:35,199 we have to agree 3003 03:50:40,000 --> 03:50:44,560 but of course but i'm saying we don't have 3004 03:50:42,720 --> 03:50:48,239 to do something right now just because of the character area recommendation and 3005 03:50:46,399 --> 03:50:52,560 the first plan we have so little land to develop in 3006 03:50:49,920 --> 03:50:58,640 deerfield township we have so little land left 3007 03:50:55,840 --> 03:51:03,199 and we all ran on smart growth smart development 3008 03:51:00,560 --> 03:51:06,960 we all did so if you do think this is the smartest thing then do it i don't 3009 03:51:05,439 --> 03:51:10,720 think with his little land as we have left that this is the smartest use of 3010 03:51:08,880 --> 03:51:14,239 that land it doesn't make sense there when i think 3011 03:51:13,199 --> 03:51:19,439 of one's airfield and the grandstone you 3012 03:51:16,560 --> 03:51:23,359 park there you walk everywhere you don't have to get your car out all weekend if 3013 03:51:21,279 --> 03:51:26,399 you don't want to you walk to the gym you can walk in groceries you're in 3014 03:51:24,800 --> 03:51:30,720 movies you can walk to the bar you can walk whatever that's not 3015 03:51:28,319 --> 03:51:33,040 the place for this 3016 03:51:31,520 --> 03:51:38,080 high-end apartment complex that has some retail 3017 03:51:34,800 --> 03:51:38,080 in the front it just isn't 3018 03:51:38,399 --> 03:51:43,920 in my opinion it just isn't when you want to park your car when you've had 3019 03:51:41,840 --> 03:51:48,239 your apartment it is literally so you can walk anywhere and 3020 03:51:46,640 --> 03:51:52,160 not have to get it in and out and in and out and now 3021 03:51:50,800 --> 03:51:55,359 it's not anything against the apartment as well if there's your hand if you've 3022 03:51:53,199 --> 03:52:00,800 never lived in an apartment right i mean 3023 03:51:57,439 --> 03:52:05,840 so with as little land as we have and this plan is not a home run for 3024 03:52:02,640 --> 03:52:05,840 anybody here 3025 03:52:06,160 --> 03:52:12,319 and it's zoned for the way it's been zoned for years for a reason 3026 03:52:10,640 --> 03:52:16,800 and the past has already turned down a different 3027 03:52:13,920 --> 03:52:20,319 uh you know years ago a different use we haven't found the right thing yet the 3028 03:52:18,399 --> 03:52:23,840 right thing has not come forward and this is going to set precedent for the 3029 03:52:21,760 --> 03:52:27,239 iranian land that we have left which is so little 3030 03:52:29,520 --> 03:52:35,439 so smart growth 3031 03:52:31,840 --> 03:52:41,040 for me is to say this this is not a high dense apartment complex no matter 3032 03:52:38,239 --> 03:52:43,520 how beautiful doesn't fit there it doesn't 3033 03:52:42,239 --> 03:52:49,359 there's nobody going to park there and walk to 3034 03:52:45,840 --> 03:52:49,359 the chiropractor on the corner 3035 03:52:52,000 --> 03:52:56,080 or the insurance company with alterations that's what's over there and 3036 03:52:54,880 --> 03:52:59,600 they've driven over there a million times but if you drive a little further 3037 03:52:57,920 --> 03:53:04,560 down there's homes all the way against tylersville a beautiful firm 3038 03:53:02,160 --> 03:53:08,399 like there is homes all up and down pilots though was the last time you were 3039 03:53:06,080 --> 03:53:12,560 on tyler's lawyer it's on your opposite side of your 3040 03:53:11,199 --> 03:53:14,880 town oh okay 3041 03:53:19,680 --> 03:53:25,520 so if you wanted to move this along i'm a no on this 3042 03:53:23,600 --> 03:53:30,279 and i know we'll see a better plan uh 3043 03:53:44,720 --> 03:53:47,720 um 3044 03:54:04,000 --> 03:54:10,720 and it is it is tough um you know because 3045 03:54:10,800 --> 03:54:15,120 with a look at residents 3046 03:54:14,239 --> 03:54:19,840 um who are 3047 03:54:17,520 --> 03:54:19,840 you know 3048 03:54:20,239 --> 03:54:25,600 have have different thoughts for foods that are have different 3049 03:54:24,399 --> 03:54:30,160 different ideas 3050 03:54:28,000 --> 03:54:30,160 and 3051 03:54:35,600 --> 03:54:38,600 um 3052 03:54:43,199 --> 03:54:47,840 best for for them 3053 03:54:54,239 --> 03:55:00,640 this decision is it's more than 3054 03:54:58,160 --> 03:55:04,399 those houses there but those houses are 3055 03:55:02,479 --> 03:55:07,920 pretty important so that's why it's it's difficult for me 3056 03:55:06,800 --> 03:55:10,160 to um 3057 03:55:11,199 --> 03:55:14,720 be able to say this 3058 03:55:17,760 --> 03:55:25,040 so trustee headings and now i will say that 3059 03:55:23,520 --> 03:55:29,520 the only way i would vote yes on this is if we extended that verb i never 3060 03:55:27,760 --> 03:55:33,760 so that would be a condition that we would add to the pov and that's the only 3061 03:55:31,439 --> 03:55:38,040 way that i would say yes you still don't have your retail 3062 03:55:35,040 --> 03:55:38,040 compliance 3063 03:55:39,150 --> 03:55:42,250 [Music] 3064 03:55:54,160 --> 03:55:58,640 the apartments you know getting that and 3065 03:55:57,920 --> 03:56:01,359 then our trusted only commission we appoint 3066 03:56:00,399 --> 03:56:06,239 them to approve 3067 03:56:03,120 --> 03:56:09,439 the commercial and i trust them to make wise decisions there and that's 3068 03:56:07,920 --> 03:56:12,000 their job to do have this other department 3069 03:56:12,160 --> 03:56:14,319 so 3070 03:56:15,680 --> 03:56:23,279 you already got to know so i'm talking to trustee siciliano here 3071 03:56:21,040 --> 03:56:26,560 to let him know that if that's the way he wanted to go 3072 03:56:24,479 --> 03:56:29,520 whichever way he wants to go on this but i would only do it by adding conditions 3073 03:56:28,319 --> 03:56:34,160 that would send the berm all the way across to keep a consistent smooth 3074 03:56:31,439 --> 03:56:39,920 retention pun at the expense of it we have to lose the 3075 03:56:35,840 --> 03:56:43,760 building and we can figure the development 3076 03:56:41,199 --> 03:56:48,000 and if that's too big of a change if we need to come back and redo this after 3077 03:56:45,680 --> 03:56:52,319 those changes if that's too big because i don't know because that 3078 03:56:49,040 --> 03:56:52,319 changes that picture completely 3079 03:57:04,800 --> 03:57:11,359 and they have to move their attention on and then that causes them to have to say 3080 03:57:08,800 --> 03:57:14,239 reconfigure how the buildings are set up 3081 03:57:12,720 --> 03:57:17,760 does that do they have to come back through the process or is that something 3082 03:57:16,239 --> 03:57:22,000 that comes through i would probably say that that's i mean 3083 03:57:20,399 --> 03:57:25,120 we kind of went through this once before is would that be the equivalent of a 3084 03:57:23,279 --> 03:57:28,880 major modification of the pvd if this were an existing beauty 3085 03:57:27,120 --> 03:57:31,120 if you want to put on a condition that says 3086 03:57:30,160 --> 03:57:34,399 um the mound's got to go the whole length 3087 03:57:32,640 --> 03:57:37,439 of the most outside of the property and just put that there 3088 03:57:37,600 --> 03:57:43,120 they're going to need to scramble to figure out can they make that work 3089 03:57:40,640 --> 03:57:48,319 somehow presumably in doing that they'd have to look at changing 3090 03:57:45,760 --> 03:57:53,040 different areas on the properties use areas which is one of the standards is 3091 03:57:50,720 --> 03:57:57,520 defining the use of permitted with the pd the general location of such uses 3092 03:57:55,279 --> 03:58:02,319 things of that nature so but if they had to basically rework their site pen 3093 03:58:00,000 --> 03:58:06,640 presumably so to where maybe building one building 3094 03:58:04,239 --> 03:58:10,880 three needs change whatever it would be then yeah i would think that that would 3095 03:58:08,800 --> 03:58:14,720 regrettably unfortunately but probably be something that would be tantamount to 3096 03:58:12,560 --> 03:58:17,279 the major beauty to which it would be the equivalent 3097 03:58:29,120 --> 03:58:35,359 hold on there it's not a concern but let's just have it so i mean if it's 3098 03:58:33,359 --> 03:58:39,359 listed as a condition to extend 3099 03:58:36,640 --> 03:58:43,750 and move the pollen to the south they couldn't bring that vehicle back 3100 03:58:40,880 --> 03:58:46,899 and if the density remains [Music] 3101 03:58:50,160 --> 03:58:54,479 no they don't have to go all the way through but i do think that you would 3102 03:58:53,439 --> 03:58:58,479 need to come back to this 3103 03:58:56,160 --> 03:59:03,040 with public notice and we need the public to be able to provide i think we 3104 03:59:00,319 --> 03:59:06,960 don't need to go back back through intelligence oh no sorry if that's how i 3105 03:59:05,520 --> 03:59:11,040 spoke that's not what i mean but i do think the tantamount to they would just 3106 03:59:09,120 --> 03:59:15,120 they would bring that robotic plan back to this board based on the additional 3107 03:59:13,040 --> 03:59:18,479 conditions in which you would apply to the plan before you receive it you get 3108 03:59:17,120 --> 03:59:22,160 to set the rules i mean if you want to send it back to zoning commission if you 3109 03:59:19,840 --> 03:59:27,359 want a good rpc you can there's no rule for that but it would be the equivalent 3110 03:59:24,960 --> 03:59:31,600 of a major ped modification to where at a minimum i'd certainly forgive process 3111 03:59:29,359 --> 03:59:35,680 purposes but think that you want to send out those revised plans you want to 3112 03:59:33,680 --> 03:59:40,960 allow the neighbors to provide input as well you can come back and do that 3113 03:59:37,520 --> 03:59:40,960 before this board that's one 3114 03:59:45,520 --> 03:59:50,960 i think to summarize there are currently 18 conditions any other conditions you 3115 03:59:48,960 --> 03:59:55,160 put on they would have to bring back a division of showing those conditions 3116 03:59:55,279 --> 04:00:00,080 to the extent that it modifies the use areas of the 3117 03:59:58,479 --> 04:00:04,399 letter literally what you're spelling out tonight presumably if you say 3118 04:00:02,640 --> 04:00:08,560 helper's got to be all there obviously the retention area is going to move that 3119 04:00:06,479 --> 04:00:11,920 by itself would probably be grounds for it maybe not but if you're talking 3120 04:00:10,399 --> 04:00:15,680 holistically of rearranging buildings things of that 3121 04:00:13,520 --> 04:00:20,120 nature that's getting pretty close to wanting to do 3122 04:00:17,120 --> 04:00:20,120 another 3123 04:00:30,080 --> 04:00:35,040 if i can if i can throw out a couple concepts you're kind of doing two things 3124 04:00:33,600 --> 04:00:39,520 here tonight not kind of literally you're doing a rezoning of the property 3125 04:00:37,680 --> 04:00:42,560 and you're also to the extent you get past the resulting phase 3126 04:00:41,279 --> 04:00:46,560 then you're choosing whether or not to put the preliminary 3127 04:00:44,000 --> 04:00:50,960 plan it sounds like trustee petting is obviously saying no i think that 3128 04:00:49,760 --> 04:00:54,960 it should be remain residential single family 3129 04:00:53,439 --> 04:00:59,520 that might be a good thing for you to get through first in your mind's eye is 3130 04:00:57,359 --> 04:01:03,279 do you agree with that or do you not if you can get past the concept of no i 3131 04:01:02,000 --> 04:01:07,680 think it could be you know neighborhood mixed 3132 04:01:06,239 --> 04:01:11,600 then maybe then you start getting into the preliminary pd plan components to 3133 04:01:09,680 --> 04:01:15,199 that and then you start thinking of the concept of 3134 04:01:12,800 --> 04:01:19,520 do we see if we can extend the buffer or not those different type things 3135 04:01:17,439 --> 04:01:23,840 the further thing i will say is at least as of the commercial component 3136 04:01:21,359 --> 04:01:27,760 is this is the preliminary pe plan and the zoning code lays out what's to 3137 04:01:26,000 --> 04:01:31,279 be specified like it or not that's just kind of how 3138 04:01:29,199 --> 04:01:35,279 the process works is and it's been that way all along deerfield 3139 04:01:33,840 --> 04:01:38,640 center areas unfortunately you know they don't 3140 04:01:37,279 --> 04:01:42,319 typically know what their commercial development is 3141 04:01:40,160 --> 04:01:46,720 um at this time it's very user specific at the end um 3142 04:01:44,319 --> 04:01:50,479 so i wouldn't i would be uncomfortable with you all 3143 04:01:47,840 --> 04:01:54,239 turning in turning approval of their preliminary pd plan down 3144 04:01:53,040 --> 04:01:58,560 if it were let's just say party and say exclusively 3145 04:01:56,560 --> 04:02:02,399 on the basis of i don't know what that commercial will be because the code 3146 04:02:00,399 --> 04:02:05,520 doesn't make them tell you now what that commercial would be but i just 3147 04:02:04,399 --> 04:02:09,840 wanted to kind of get those out there but for framing it you should understand 3148 04:02:08,000 --> 04:02:14,319 that think through step one would be 3149 04:02:11,840 --> 04:02:18,080 are you comfortable with rezoning it if the answer to that is no 3150 04:02:16,319 --> 04:02:22,640 then that kind of ends your game if you're conceptually willing 3151 04:02:20,160 --> 04:02:26,960 to think about rezoning it then that's when you should start thinking about 3152 04:02:24,640 --> 04:02:31,279 kind of the preliminary pd plan what additional conditions 3153 04:02:29,120 --> 04:02:35,120 etc etc and that's then when you might get into the concept of how 3154 04:02:33,439 --> 04:02:38,960 much are we re-engineering this to where we need to come back 3155 04:02:37,359 --> 04:02:43,120 just some kind of guiding points for along the way 3156 04:02:41,279 --> 04:02:46,720 so there's a lot of plants that can come back with single family with the 3157 04:02:44,720 --> 04:02:50,560 character areas still on it that involves single family 3158 04:02:48,800 --> 04:02:54,160 but there's so many ways that that property can go it can't be developed 3159 04:02:52,479 --> 04:02:56,880 you don't have to be involved with the first ones and 3160 04:03:02,239 --> 04:03:07,600 also a business component to it alongside this village i know he's 3161 04:03:06,239 --> 04:03:11,680 saying we have single family and i've been looking at how the rest of tyler's 3162 04:03:09,040 --> 04:03:15,279 bill is developed for the consistency 3163 04:03:14,239 --> 04:03:19,120 and for what else is there i think it does 3164 04:03:16,800 --> 04:03:25,040 make sense to have some kind of business yeah do you know um do you believe 3165 04:03:21,920 --> 04:03:28,399 on montgomery road what is it called vintage club 3166 04:03:26,640 --> 04:03:33,199 you have a vintage club there's a hospital like outpatient in 3167 04:03:31,520 --> 04:03:36,720 the front there's a yoga studio or pilates or something in 3168 04:03:35,199 --> 04:03:40,800 the front you drive down the driveway and you see their clubhouse they've got 3169 04:03:39,120 --> 04:03:45,439 one apartment living here beautiful houses town homes there's 3170 04:03:42,880 --> 04:03:48,479 transition there's diversity and housing they've got business in the front it's 3171 04:03:46,960 --> 04:03:51,120 right off one of the busiest streets there 3172 04:03:49,359 --> 04:03:55,840 there is there's there's uses for this land that can be 3173 04:03:54,560 --> 04:04:01,040 higher to a higher purpose than the apartment 3174 04:03:58,319 --> 04:04:04,319 complex with some retail in the front i just think we have to 3175 04:04:02,800 --> 04:04:08,319 understand that that saying no to this doesn't mean 3176 04:04:06,160 --> 04:04:12,319 saying no forever to anything that could come before us and it has to be straight 3177 04:04:10,319 --> 04:04:15,920 single family that's not what i'm saying this plan right now is not the right 3178 04:04:14,560 --> 04:04:18,399 plan for that property 3179 04:04:19,120 --> 04:04:22,560 do you know that i'm talking about 3180 04:04:22,720 --> 04:04:28,479 like if you go back if you go past harvard station 3181 04:04:26,239 --> 04:04:35,120 and it's on your left there's a medical building there's about nearly 3182 04:04:32,000 --> 04:04:35,120 a few years ago 3183 04:04:44,880 --> 04:04:48,520 but it's still communities 3184 04:04:51,359 --> 04:04:55,840 so there's a lot you can do with single 3185 04:04:54,080 --> 04:04:59,800 families still if it stays single families once you're done 3186 04:05:14,640 --> 04:05:17,640 you 3187 04:05:19,490 --> 04:05:22,740 [Music] 3188 04:05:26,800 --> 04:05:34,160 this property is going to eventually become something bigger 3189 04:05:32,000 --> 04:05:38,720 whoever develops the next harsh portion so whatever you say now 3190 04:05:36,880 --> 04:05:42,960 isn't going to accept them right there so anything 3191 04:05:40,880 --> 04:05:46,080 i know i said that we can't it's not our job thing at all right he's not done 3192 04:05:44,800 --> 04:05:49,120 this before i'm just trying to talk him through like okay 3193 04:05:53,920 --> 04:05:56,160 okay 3194 04:05:56,560 --> 04:06:02,080 to reduce the density you can do something for our step down that we've 3195 04:05:59,760 --> 04:06:05,040 got in our comments you could do something like 3196 04:06:03,120 --> 04:06:09,680 commercial down below state town homes down to single family homes well in the 3197 04:06:07,199 --> 04:06:13,680 updated call plan you guys do remember has actual lines like that there's 3198 04:06:11,520 --> 04:06:18,479 single family there's one family there's commercial it's just that we're behind 3199 04:06:15,600 --> 04:06:18,479 on that because 3200 04:06:19,359 --> 04:06:26,000 so they're not wrong hey here's the character area and here's 3201 04:06:23,840 --> 04:06:29,920 this they don't change they won't change when it comes back out 3202 04:06:27,680 --> 04:06:33,120 but it's very specific that 3203 04:06:30,720 --> 04:06:36,520 there's single family of events and there's multiple 3204 04:06:51,279 --> 04:06:58,399 and i think that kind of touched on the original 3205 04:06:55,680 --> 04:07:02,720 draft of this that including the talent exists as more of that step down and 3206 04:07:01,120 --> 04:07:09,720 that was one of one of the points that you know 3207 04:07:04,640 --> 04:07:09,720 the residents didn't want was 3208 04:07:30,640 --> 04:07:33,800 all right 3209 04:07:42,080 --> 04:07:45,520 you don't have a lot of land 3210 04:07:49,520 --> 04:07:53,080 part left it 3211 04:08:19,120 --> 04:08:22,120 foreign 3212 04:08:33,760 --> 04:08:36,760 okay 3213 04:08:58,239 --> 04:09:04,560 but after our discussion tonight 3214 04:09:02,000 --> 04:09:09,359 i think what i'm hearing everyone say what's that none of us are involved with 3215 04:09:07,120 --> 04:09:09,359 um 3216 04:09:10,399 --> 04:09:18,080 so therefore it's maybe not the highest and best and our job is figuring out 3217 04:09:16,000 --> 04:09:22,960 what is the highest and best use and what is the best 3218 04:09:19,600 --> 04:09:22,960 vision for this property 3219 04:09:23,120 --> 04:09:28,359 we keep it as it is for now 3220 04:09:30,800 --> 04:09:36,640 how do you feel about that and it could even be silverman comes 3221 04:09:35,040 --> 04:09:43,560 back to us they come back with something else because i 3222 04:09:39,040 --> 04:09:43,560 i love one deerfield it's fantastic 3223 04:09:52,960 --> 04:09:57,800 yeah i mean like just technology 3224 04:10:01,760 --> 04:10:08,960 um and i know that the residents um are not 3225 04:10:06,560 --> 04:10:11,760 in love with this either which 3226 04:10:10,640 --> 04:10:17,520 is it is important 3227 04:10:13,680 --> 04:10:24,840 for me to hear that so yes at this point that i 3228 04:10:20,000 --> 04:10:24,840 i i don't i agree with this specific 3229 04:10:25,279 --> 04:10:32,880 i think that we would have to make 3230 04:10:29,199 --> 04:10:32,880 some big changes to this 3231 04:10:33,359 --> 04:10:35,520 and 3232 04:10:36,960 --> 04:10:42,800 i i i'd be wondering if maybe you use it and see where 3233 04:10:41,359 --> 04:10:46,479 she was i mean it did happen at the golf center 3234 04:10:44,399 --> 04:10:50,560 trustee headings not wrong he turned it down and they came back and 3235 04:10:49,120 --> 04:10:55,040 it was a better plan they said it couldn't be done it people it was done 3236 04:10:52,399 --> 04:10:59,840 yeah and they sold out and yeah like that 3237 04:10:56,960 --> 04:10:59,840 so um 3238 04:11:01,840 --> 04:11:07,840 i think uh with that i will make the motion to deny 3239 04:11:07,040 --> 04:11:12,080 the change a second 3240 04:11:10,159 --> 04:11:17,520 we've got a question by ms malhotra and the second five is heading to deny the 3241 04:11:14,960 --> 04:11:20,520 zone change in case number 2021-85 3242 04:11:32,720 --> 04:11:35,720 is 3243
