I'm not from Holiday City. 160 00:08:00,030 --> 00:08:03,390 But about 22 years ago, I drove through here and saw the trees and. 161 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:05,070 Found the city and fell in love with it. 162 00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:11,390 I have now lived here for 20 years. I built a small house on Cottonwood Lane amongst all the big houses. 163 00:08:11,790 --> 00:08:15,190 And I own a brokerage and I've done developments in holiday. 164 00:08:15,310 --> 00:08:17,750 I went through this process similarly with the. 165 00:08:18,350 --> 00:08:22,750 Office building that I own on 53rd South and Highland Dr. which required a rezone to neighborhood commercial. John Tierlink was 166 00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:27,150 very helpful in that process and so are many of you to get that done. 167 00:08:27,630 --> 00:08:29,990 As with that, there was some public pushback, but. 168 00:08:31,070 --> 00:08:33,310 I'm proud of what I built there. 169 00:08:33,390 --> 00:08:37,830 And we have a building there that's filled with holiday business owners and holiday residences. 170 00:08:38,150 --> 00:08:41,400 And I think it was something that added the community and that's what we're trying to do here. 171 00:08:41,790 --> 00:08:43,710 So basically we would effectively. 172 00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:44,510 Tear down the. 173 00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:45,990 For homes that are there. 174 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:49,990 We're looking to change this to an RM zone which would allow up to 20 units. 175 00:08:50,590 --> 00:08:52,630 I think that there's an opportunity here. 176 00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:56,600 For higher quality townhome project in holiday. 177 00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:58,550 If you see a lot of the townhome projects. 178 00:08:58,910 --> 00:08:59,590 They are. 179 00:08:59,950 --> 00:09:00,750 Three story. 180 00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:02,190 They're much higher density. 181 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:09,150 Typical density is 22 to 25 units per acre. This was his much lower density. 18 units for an acre and a quarter is what I'd be. 182 00:09:09,310 --> 00:09:10,310 Looking to do here. 183 00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:12,000 You see a lot of these townhomes that are. 184 00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:14,440 Two car garage on the main. 185 00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:19,070 You go up to a kitchen and some living area and you go up to a third level for your living space and so. 186 00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:22,230 With this, you could technically under the ARM zone, put 20 units. Here I'm looking to do 18 units because I believe that you can 187 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:25,270 have. 188 00:09:25,630 --> 00:09:27,030 Some main level living. 189 00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:28,030 On these units. 190 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:30,190 And you can then have. 191 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:35,870 Some private yards, which most of the three story townhome units do not have. They don't have private yards. 192 00:09:36,350 --> 00:09:39,440 So I'm interested with a little less density, a little better project. 193 00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:41,350 And something that would be a little bit more. 194 00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:43,190 Conducive to holiday? 195 00:09:43,870 --> 00:09:46,950 And so we would do a more traditional design on what's there. 196 00:09:47,470 --> 00:09:50,310 And something that fits in with the holiday village feel. 197 00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:53,590 A unique opportunity here. 198 00:09:53,710 --> 00:09:56,590 And then part of the reason this came about was that. 199 00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:03,070 After meeting with Jared Bunch, trying to determine where the best Access Rd. would be on this for this project. 200 00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:07,230 He mentioned that the only reason that small one lane Rd. of Highland Drive. 201 00:10:07,390 --> 00:10:11,790 Is there is because it provides access to those three homes that front on Highland Drive. 202 00:10:12,270 --> 00:10:14,960 And the project that I'm proposing would. 203 00:10:15,230 --> 00:10:16,110 Relocate. 204 00:10:16,230 --> 00:10:18,230 The access to 6060 S. 205 00:10:18,430 --> 00:10:20,150 The S Boundary St. 206 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:25,760 And then we would vacate the access on a Highland Dr. which then provides an opportunity. 207 00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:28,440 For restructuring that intersection. 208 00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:31,790 And I've spoken with many of you. I think there's. 209 00:10:32,110 --> 00:10:33,350 Public and. 210 00:10:33,790 --> 00:10:37,590 Private sentiment for people to do something better there with the with the traffic. 211 00:10:38,030 --> 00:10:38,830 And if we can. 212 00:10:38,950 --> 00:10:40,000 Eliminate that. 213 00:10:40,430 --> 00:10:42,350 Not my job, your job. That one lane. 214 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:44,070 Luzerne of Rd. there. 215 00:10:44,430 --> 00:10:45,150 And then? 216 00:10:45,230 --> 00:10:46,950 Redo something with the park. 217 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:51,510 That small island and make it more of a park, like some of the drawings that I've put in there. 218 00:10:51,910 --> 00:10:56,670 Then I I I think it can create a more dramatic entrance to the city. You can put up some better signage. 219 00:10:58,820 --> 00:11:00,520 One of the original founders. 220 00:11:00,630 --> 00:11:05,830 Of Holiday City of course was John Holiday, but one of the other guys name was Robert Covington. 221 00:11:06,390 --> 00:11:07,230 And so. 222 00:11:07,630 --> 00:11:11,000 These townhomes we would name Covington Park Townhomes. 223 00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:16,130 In kind of an homage to one of the original founders of Holiday City, and also to put a little pressure on you as the city to make 224 00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:20,670 it next to a park if it's going to be called Covington Park Townhomes. 225 00:11:21,150 --> 00:11:24,710 And I just think it can. We can do something really spectacular there. 226 00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:26,630 Also by doing that. 227 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,800 There are massive trees there. 228 00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:30,030 And they're beautiful. 229 00:11:30,110 --> 00:11:31,590 And they're very. 230 00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:32,350 Uncapped. 231 00:11:32,670 --> 00:11:38,110 And and I got a call from Rob Jones, who is in the furthest NN house that. 232 00:11:38,390 --> 00:11:44,350 This last windstorm, one of the branches fell on the sidewalk. There are a ton of deadfall branches and issues with those trees. 233 00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:48,360 I immediately went over with the chainsaw, cleaned it up, and trimmed up some of the other trees. 234 00:11:48,510 --> 00:11:49,750 But if we put a park there. 235 00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:56,750 I can maintain those large trees as a presence to Holiday city with the large trees and and make a more beautiful entrance. 236 00:11:57,190 --> 00:11:59,190 And I've also I've spoken with. 237 00:11:59,630 --> 00:12:01,270 Several of the arborists who. 238 00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:05,790 Associated with this project and I think we can save and maintain. 239 00:12:06,190 --> 00:12:08,110 Almost all the trees on the perimeter. 240 00:12:08,270 --> 00:12:11,350 Clean them up, get rid of a bunch of the deadfall and make it a better project. 241 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:13,750 Affordability. 242 00:12:14,030 --> 00:12:16,350 These will these will land in 8 to 900. 243 00:12:16,630 --> 00:12:17,710 $1000 range. 244 00:12:17,790 --> 00:12:18,230 Which? 245 00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:22,560 For people outside of holiday, that does not seem affordable, but in holiday that's very affordable. 246 00:12:22,990 --> 00:12:24,670 And I think it's a project that will. 247 00:12:26,490 --> 00:12:28,840 There are ways you can do mass production projects. 248 00:12:29,470 --> 00:12:30,030 And. 249 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:32,030 Make them cheaper. 250 00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:35,560 And you, I see a lot of that around. 251 00:12:35,630 --> 00:12:36,390 In a holiday. 252 00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:37,230 As well. 253 00:12:37,310 --> 00:12:39,710 But I'm less concerned with making. 254 00:12:41,050 --> 00:12:43,840 A larger profit than I am concerned with doing something. 255 00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:47,290 That is conducive to the holiday village feel and making it a project there. That's right. And there's a picture of kind of what 256 00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:50,350 the. 257 00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:52,870 The park may look like in that intersection. 258 00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:58,210 There's already a lane there and there's a turn lane, so nobody would have to merge going around that. They would just be, they 259 00:12:58,210 --> 00:13:02,550 would have their own lanes. You could put a yield or a stop sign there and really slow down traffic. 260 00:13:03,470 --> 00:13:04,030 I think. 261 00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:06,630 For the subdivision to the north of this. 262 00:13:07,070 --> 00:13:10,710 They have major ingress and egress problems. You've probably heard of that. 263 00:13:10,910 --> 00:13:11,910 Continually. 264 00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:13,710 This has an opportunity. 265 00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:15,910 Write an opportunity to solve that problem. 266 00:13:16,350 --> 00:13:19,870 Because we can eliminate one of the lanes, we can get them out further and they're. 267 00:13:19,950 --> 00:13:22,830 They would cross two lanes to go South instead of three. 268 00:13:22,910 --> 00:13:25,710 And it would slow down the traffic dramatically and so. 269 00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:29,120 I'm a huge advocate, obviously selfishly because. 270 00:13:29,550 --> 00:13:31,830 It would put a park in front of the project instead of a. 271 00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:35,290 Highland Dr. Lane that people go down 50 miles an hour. 272 00:13:35,390 --> 00:13:37,830 But also because it's better for the neighbors and I'm. 273 00:13:38,750 --> 00:13:39,670 I live. 274 00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:43,560 Here, my kids go to school here. I have an office building here. 275 00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:45,360 I'm interested in doing something. 276 00:13:45,510 --> 00:13:48,950 That is, that makes holiday and the and the surrounding neighborhood better. 277 00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:50,310 And so. 278 00:13:51,070 --> 00:13:52,670 To the east of this project. 279 00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:54,110 Are two townhomes. 280 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,360 Bill is the most adjacent. 281 00:13:58,710 --> 00:13:59,350 To it. 282 00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:03,555 And he and I have talked and this is going to add value to his property as well because we'll clean up on the trees on the east 283 00:14:03,555 --> 00:14:07,240 boundary of. 284 00:14:07,390 --> 00:14:08,510 My property which? 285 00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:10,000 Border his property. 286 00:14:10,390 --> 00:14:11,150 And then I'm going to. 287 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:15,430 On my dollar, pay for a nice new fence that will clean up the property and make it better. 288 00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:19,470 He has issues also with those trees, with every time there's a windstorm. 289 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:21,470 Trees branches falling down on issues. 290 00:14:22,620 --> 00:14:23,060 So. 291 00:14:23,710 --> 00:14:26,280 I'm excited about it. We've already closed on the front three properties. 292 00:14:26,350 --> 00:14:30,390 So the opportunity is there to vacate. The Highland Drive will close on the other one soon and. 293 00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:33,640 I'm happy to answer any questions anybody might have about it. 294 00:14:35,260 --> 00:14:39,640 Umm thanks so much for coming and and sharing this with us today. I just umm. 295 00:14:40,030 --> 00:14:42,070 I know we're going to get into this more later that. 296 00:14:42,750 --> 00:14:43,590 There are. 297 00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:46,400 A lot of neighbors that have concerns about the effect. 298 00:14:47,470 --> 00:14:49,390 This property will have on traffic. 299 00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:52,750 But it sounds like what you're saying is that. 300 00:14:52,830 --> 00:14:53,590 With this. 301 00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:56,830 Idea of this park that you're willing to work with the Planning Commission? 302 00:14:56,950 --> 00:15:00,110 To address those issues. Is that, is that right? Yeah, absolutely. OK. 303 00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:05,190 It's always a concern with traffic, right? Highland drives a massive Rd. 304 00:15:05,270 --> 00:15:07,680 This will slow down traffic if you do this. 305 00:15:07,950 --> 00:15:09,150 That's being proposed. 306 00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:10,950 If he did not, it's still. 307 00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:14,150 The amount of traffic that this 18 unit. 308 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:18,710 Townhome project will drop onto Highland Drive is minuscule compared to what the traffic guard is on there. 309 00:15:18,870 --> 00:15:19,990 There's plenty of bandwidth to. 310 00:15:20,270 --> 00:15:20,870 To handle that. 311 00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:21,750 Right and. 312 00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:24,790 And the thing you have about this, that's different. 313 00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:29,400 You know residential development than a commercial development is there. People are not coming and going all the time. 314 00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:34,710 You'll have once or twice a day someone's coming and going back and forth to work or something. It's just not going to. 315 00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:36,830 Oh, it's a huge traffic issue there. 316 00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:38,840 Thank you. 317 00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:39,750 Yeah, thanks. 318 00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:45,310 OK, so let's open the public hearing then. 319 00:15:46,070 --> 00:15:48,670 Do we want staff to do like review their staff report? 320 00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:49,950 Is there a? 321 00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:52,110 Do I have Carrie come up and. 322 00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:53,670 And address them. 323 00:15:56,010 --> 00:15:57,050 Thanks for the reminder. 324 00:16:00,550 --> 00:16:02,030 I think Casey did a great job. 325 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:08,870 Explaining some of the motivations and reasons behind the rezone and kind of what the rezone. 326 00:16:09,230 --> 00:16:10,750 Enables in terms. 327 00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:13,310 Of development of the project. 328 00:16:13,870 --> 00:16:15,910 I just wanted to touch on a couple of the. 329 00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:18,670 Technical factors, you know. 330 00:16:18,750 --> 00:16:26,670 Casey mentioned that this would allow up to 20 units depending on site constraints. Good design that he was. 331 00:16:26,910 --> 00:16:27,880 Talking about that. 332 00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,990 It may not be up to that. 333 00:16:30,070 --> 00:16:32,990 Maximum amount, but that is what the zone would allow. 334 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:38,890 In regards to height between the R2 zone and the RM zone, they do have the same height allowances at 35 feet, so there's not a 335 00:16:38,890 --> 00:16:43,790 difference in the height between those two. 336 00:16:44,350 --> 00:16:44,910 Zones. 337 00:16:46,630 --> 00:16:52,790 Staff recommendation on this is is an approval there was some discussion and Planning Commission about. 338 00:16:53,230 --> 00:16:54,400 Keeping the. 339 00:16:54,830 --> 00:16:57,110 Rear parcel that's on the east. 340 00:16:57,190 --> 00:17:00,470 As an R2 zone and then doing RM on the front. 341 00:17:01,550 --> 00:17:06,430 Configuring in that way, there's a difference of three fewer units that would be allowed. 342 00:17:07,630 --> 00:17:14,430 Regulatory wise it's when you have split zoning between a project it it can lead to some complications. 343 00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:16,920 Where it's because of the. 344 00:17:17,630 --> 00:17:23,360 Small difference between the number of units that it produces. Staff recommendations for the room zone for the. 345 00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:25,750 For the full project, all four parcels. 346 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:28,870 As Casey mentioned, the. 347 00:17:30,550 --> 00:17:32,510 Having those 3 parcels. 348 00:17:33,870 --> 00:17:36,470 Involved in this rezone and the. 349 00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:38,830 Intended design for the project. 350 00:17:39,390 --> 00:17:40,430 Enables. 351 00:17:40,510 --> 00:17:46,990 Access for those to be removed from that bypass lane and accessed off of 6060 S. 352 00:17:47,390 --> 00:17:52,710 I talking with the city engineer, there would be some potential required improvements. 353 00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:56,830 On potentially 6060 S and. 354 00:17:57,630 --> 00:17:59,840 To manage that the change in. 355 00:18:00,110 --> 00:18:01,590 The Highland Dr. Bypass. 356 00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:06,510 There is a single lane on that T section. 357 00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:10,350 Likely that would increase to two lane so that there's a right. 358 00:18:10,430 --> 00:18:12,070 And the left hand turn lane. 359 00:18:12,350 --> 00:18:16,950 And then the two lanes on Highland Dr. would start much sooner. 360 00:18:17,710 --> 00:18:18,510 Because it's. 361 00:18:18,590 --> 00:18:22,840 Shifting that bypass lane now over to Highland Drive. 362 00:18:22,990 --> 00:18:26,030 There's capacity on the shoulder there that that. 363 00:18:26,710 --> 00:18:29,270 Is already paved, so there should be some minimal. 364 00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:31,310 Paving involved with that, but. 365 00:18:31,670 --> 00:18:32,950 Some of that will. 366 00:18:33,950 --> 00:18:37,110 Beyond the responsibility of the developer who is. 367 00:18:37,310 --> 00:18:39,230 Kind of involved in that. 368 00:18:39,710 --> 00:18:40,910 In that change. 369 00:18:41,310 --> 00:18:46,470 The city engineers also suggested potential traffic study. 370 00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:52,350 Impact involved with that intersection, specifically of how to engineer that to work. 371 00:18:52,430 --> 00:18:53,190 Correctly. 372 00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:56,990 The Planning Commission. 373 00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:59,070 Had a positive record or. 374 00:18:59,230 --> 00:19:01,870 Positive recommendation. They had two votes. 375 00:19:01,950 --> 00:19:05,550 And or. Sorry, 5 votes in favor and two votes against. 376 00:19:07,550 --> 00:19:08,360 They have. 377 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:10,270 Their recommendations listed in. 378 00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:12,670 The staff report that was provided to you. 379 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:13,750 And. 380 00:19:13,870 --> 00:19:15,350 The main. 381 00:19:15,790 --> 00:19:21,030 Point on this recommendation for a rezone is to provide a transition. 382 00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:22,950 Type of zone in between. 383 00:19:23,030 --> 00:19:24,790 The more intense. 384 00:19:25,030 --> 00:19:30,400 Holiday Crossroads zone that is directly adjacent to this property on the South side. 385 00:19:30,550 --> 00:19:32,190 And the less intense. 386 00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:34,840 R2 zoning that's on the north side. 387 00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:38,950 So RM is kind of the fill in between those two that's an intermediary. 388 00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:43,910 Buffers between less intense residential uses and more intense commercial uses. 389 00:19:47,390 --> 00:19:52,070 Safety issues with traffic is obviously a big concern with the residents. 390 00:19:52,750 --> 00:19:58,470 And I think Casey addressed that a lot with how the traffic can be reconfigured there to. 391 00:19:59,270 --> 00:20:00,630 Address some of those concerns. 392 00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:04,110 Residents that are coming out of Diamond Hills. 393 00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:05,920 Add the. 394 00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:11,550 Kind of battle that they have to face going through a bypass lane and then getting onto Highland Drive. So they have kind of two. 395 00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:14,670 Points where where there's traffic conflict. 396 00:20:15,310 --> 00:20:19,750 So changing the intersection up where it's now all at the T. 397 00:20:20,350 --> 00:20:25,350 Makes a much more consistent traffic where they can enter traffic more safely. 398 00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:27,860 And greater. 399 00:20:27,980 --> 00:20:30,740 Pedestrian and biking safety as well. 400 00:20:30,860 --> 00:20:32,700 Being separated from Highland Drive. 401 00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:35,620 There's improvements for cycling and. 402 00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:37,900 And walking. 403 00:20:38,020 --> 00:20:39,710 In our Highland Dr. improvements. 404 00:20:39,860 --> 00:20:42,900 So this would tie into into those improvements. 405 00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:49,420 If there's any other questions that we can go through those, I'm happy to. 406 00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:51,980 How address any does they know that there's? 407 00:20:52,060 --> 00:20:52,740 Probably some. 408 00:20:53,420 --> 00:20:56,700 Questions from the public that we can definitely. 409 00:20:57,540 --> 00:20:58,180 Discuss. 410 00:20:58,930 --> 00:21:03,010 So, so this is in my district and so I have spent a lot of time looking over all of the letters that residents have sent in and 411 00:21:03,010 --> 00:21:07,090 make sure that I understand. 412 00:21:07,740 --> 00:21:12,470 Their concerns and want to make sure that we we address the concerns that they have. 413 00:21:12,660 --> 00:21:13,260 Here. 414 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:16,030 A lot of people are concerned. 415 00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:22,340 In general, independent of this project about the traffic on Highland Drive and pulling out of that Diamond Hills. 416 00:21:22,780 --> 00:21:26,040 Development. But it sounds like what you're saying and just confirm is that if we get rid of that deluge, run for lack of a better 417 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,300 term. 418 00:21:29,780 --> 00:21:34,940 And people have to stop on that tea or slow down if they're coming from the north, but ultimately that. 419 00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:37,140 Have a calming effect. 420 00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:43,260 On on traffic. Is that what you're saying? It's call me because you have a more predictable. 421 00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:51,820 Place for cars to be on that luge run. There can be issues with visibility. You don't know how fast cars are coming through that. 422 00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:57,580 And and also the double point of of conflict where you're having to enter traffic. 423 00:21:57,940 --> 00:22:02,460 At that bypass point and then again when you're entering Highland Drive. 424 00:22:02,540 --> 00:22:05,540 So that reduces those points of conflict to a single one. 425 00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:09,460 Traffic is more predictable. Cars are already in two lanes. 426 00:22:09,540 --> 00:22:10,900 Traveling and that's. 427 00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:12,660 What you then have to navigate through. 428 00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:17,700 It's reducing conflict points is is a big part of. 429 00:22:17,940 --> 00:22:19,900 Increasing Traffic Safety so. 430 00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,780 Having fewer intersections where where vehicles have to. 431 00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:24,740 Navigate. 432 00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:27,380 Entering traffic is an improvement. 433 00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:29,940 OK, umm, another concern. 434 00:22:30,180 --> 00:22:36,340 Umm, that, that we're seeing in a lot of the public comments just deals with the overall capacity. 435 00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:45,140 To to service the traffic on Highland Dr. Obviously this is a small development that they're concerned deals with. 436 00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:50,220 That there's the new apartment building to the South and then there's also the holiday hills to the north and the just concern 437 00:22:50,220 --> 00:22:54,180 about that. Can you can you speak to? 438 00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:56,620 Highland drives capacity. 439 00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:59,860 Sure to deal with all of all of this increased traffic with these different. 440 00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:01,180 Projects. Yeah, I, I. 441 00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,465 I know that as a city, we're all very aware of the traffic that's there. We've managed that intersection and some of the the 442 00:23:05,465 --> 00:23:09,230 traffic. 443 00:23:09,980 --> 00:23:13,260 That we have to deal with getting to some of those commercial businesses or. 444 00:23:13,540 --> 00:23:14,740 Going out. 445 00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:15,860 Van Wigle. 446 00:23:16,820 --> 00:23:18,940 Getting in between it's a major Rd. 447 00:23:19,580 --> 00:23:20,460 In the city. 448 00:23:21,180 --> 00:23:27,900 That road was built with capacity to manage a lot of come and go. 449 00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:30,260 Consistent traffic throughout. 450 00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:32,460 Every day for. 451 00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:34,020 For the regional. 452 00:23:34,580 --> 00:23:37,260 Development of the Cottonwood Mall. 453 00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:40,060 Malls have a tremendous. 454 00:23:40,180 --> 00:23:41,740 Traffic impact and so that. 455 00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:43,900 Highland Drive is billed with two. 456 00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:47,260 And a high enough speed to handle that capacity. 457 00:23:49,020 --> 00:23:49,670 And that. 458 00:23:51,290 --> 00:23:53,290 That a development that. 459 00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:56,540 In the location closer to an intersection. 460 00:23:56,660 --> 00:24:00,950 And also being on that roadway that already has a lot of capacity. 461 00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:04,940 A smaller development like this doesn't necessarily impact that. 462 00:24:06,060 --> 00:24:06,500 The. 463 00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:13,780 The the Holiday Hills development and Holiday Crossroads development. 464 00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:18,580 Are both taken into account on the the roadways capacity? 465 00:24:19,260 --> 00:24:21,580 When developments there are proposed. 466 00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:25,720 That traffic capacity is looked at as what can the roadway handle and is this development then going to be something that would 467 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,660 trigger? 468 00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:31,860 Or caused there to be. 469 00:24:32,620 --> 00:24:34,790 Necessary improvements to the roadway. 470 00:24:35,740 --> 00:24:38,820 And our city engineer can go through some of those, um. 471 00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:39,860 Kind of. 472 00:24:39,940 --> 00:24:42,900 Ways that you deal with increased capacity it. 473 00:24:43,020 --> 00:24:46,380 There's a lot of different strategies when you have a roadway that has. 474 00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:49,060 Reached its capacity. 475 00:24:49,460 --> 00:24:50,340 But it's typically. 476 00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:52,740 At the point where there are. 477 00:24:52,820 --> 00:24:54,100 Ongoing issues. 478 00:24:54,260 --> 00:24:57,420 It could be things like dedicated turn lanes or. 479 00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:00,020 Reduce speeds in some areas. 480 00:25:00,580 --> 00:25:03,260 There's various strategies, so. 481 00:25:03,340 --> 00:25:04,620 I think that. 482 00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:09,550 The city engineer is aware of the traffic that's there and the capacity is. 483 00:25:09,780 --> 00:25:11,860 At its current time, not at. 484 00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:16,380 It's full amount that it can't handle. 485 00:25:16,460 --> 00:25:19,020 So and that was taken into account with. 486 00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:21,020 Those developments already known. 487 00:25:21,940 --> 00:25:26,820 And then there were people concerned about you. So you said that height, the height standards are the same and the set back 488 00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:31,700 standards are the same. So it wouldn't bring things closer. 489 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,790 Somebody there were a couple of concerns about. 490 00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:44,580 Lighting and dealing with lighting from from parking and we I know we just passed a residential lighting ordinance. 491 00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:47,060 So how will that affect? 492 00:25:48,180 --> 00:25:49,500 Affect this new development. 493 00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:57,165 Yeah. So our new lighting ordinance, we have a standard for R1 and R2 zones and then we have a standard for all other zones and 494 00:25:57,165 --> 00:26:04,710 that all other zones coverage is things that are commercial all the way down to multi family residential. 495 00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:09,060 It regulates things from your parking pole lights. 496 00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:13,220 Landscaping lights and then architectural lights too. 497 00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:20,990 All of those architectural lights are required to be shielded.

This is just a result of. 838 00:43:28,250 --> 00:43:32,740 A small spike we've seen in our overall sales tax revenue in fiscal year 2026. 839 00:43:33,490 --> 00:43:40,170 Additionally, we're budgeting an increase in appropriation of fund balance of 1.8184 million. 840 00:43:40,330 --> 00:43:41,850 I'll go into the details of that. 841 00:43:41,930 --> 00:43:43,530 More specifically right now. 842 00:43:44,850 --> 00:43:47,410 The first section we have relocation costs. 843 00:43:47,850 --> 00:43:49,610 Rent of the temporary City Hall. 844 00:43:50,130 --> 00:43:55,490 City Hall, construction site, utilities and then the portable trailer, if the council recalls previous. 845 00:43:55,850 --> 00:43:57,810 Work sessions. We've discussed that. 846 00:43:58,010 --> 00:44:00,530 We originally had the intention of. 847 00:44:00,810 --> 00:44:03,700 Budgeting certain items within our local building authority. 848 00:44:04,130 --> 00:44:10,380 After conversations with our auditors, we found that we actually need to move those expenses to the general fund. So we're. 849 00:44:10,490 --> 00:44:15,170 Rather than budgeting them within the LBA, we're now budgeting them within the general fund. 850 00:44:15,730 --> 00:44:18,130 The benefit of this is that it does open up. 851 00:44:18,250 --> 00:44:21,610 Some extra dollars within the LBA for our projects that we're working on. 852 00:44:22,650 --> 00:44:23,690 And those. 853 00:44:23,770 --> 00:44:27,490 Increases include the relocation costs, the rent of the temporary City Hall. 854 00:44:27,850 --> 00:44:31,900 The construction site utilities and then the portable trailer which would be located. 855 00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:35,300 At our regular 4580 S location and. 856 00:44:35,490 --> 00:44:38,010 Would really work as sort of a hub for any. 857 00:44:38,610 --> 00:44:41,290 On site activities that we have or. 858 00:44:41,730 --> 00:44:44,050 A location for our city engineers to work out of. 859 00:44:44,290 --> 00:44:45,860 When they're monitoring the project. 860 00:44:46,410 --> 00:44:49,850 So just to summarize, in these first four items are. 861 00:44:50,450 --> 00:44:55,610 Budget movement as opposed to new budget or additional funds such as moving it from 1:00. 862 00:44:55,730 --> 00:44:57,050 Organization to the other. 863 00:44:57,130 --> 00:45:00,995 Correct. So rather than spending, rather than using LBA dollars which came from the capital projects fund or from our bond 864 00:45:00,995 --> 00:45:04,860 proceeds, we're now using. 865 00:45:05,370 --> 00:45:09,870 Sales tax dollars just happened to coincide that we did see an increase in our sales tax dollars, otherwise it would have been a 866 00:45:09,870 --> 00:45:14,370 larger appropriation of general fund fund balance. 867 00:45:16,610 --> 00:45:20,890 Moving on from those, if there aren't any other questions, we have an increase in our translator fees. 868 00:45:21,130 --> 00:45:24,770 This has been an ongoing conversation. With the addition of Mill Creek, we've seen a larger increase in the need for translation 869 00:45:24,770 --> 00:45:28,410 services within our court. 870 00:45:28,690 --> 00:45:32,010 That's this increase is just recognizing that additional need. 871 00:45:32,610 --> 00:45:35,740 We have a small adjustment to our unified fire. 872 00:45:35,890 --> 00:45:39,490 Contract near the end of the previous fiscal well. 873 00:45:40,050 --> 00:45:43,830 Fiscal budgeting process last year there was a small adjustment that happened to the UFA contract. It's, it's a $2000 adjustment. 874 00:45:43,830 --> 00:45:47,610 Uh. 875 00:45:48,010 --> 00:45:50,530 Believe it's more just a rounding error in. 876 00:45:50,650 --> 00:45:52,890 The initial budget that we had received from. 877 00:45:53,410 --> 00:45:53,530 UFA. 878 00:45:55,250 --> 00:45:56,570 Next we have a. 879 00:45:56,730 --> 00:45:57,970 Decrease in. 880 00:45:58,050 --> 00:46:02,783 The salaries, wages for full time, this is specifically within the community development department and this is just recognizing 881 00:46:02,783 --> 00:46:07,516 the fact that we had had a position which was previously supposed to be our part-time building inspector. It was a position we've 882 00:46:07,516 --> 00:46:12,249 had. 883 00:46:12,330 --> 00:46:13,850 Difficulty filling. 884 00:46:13,930 --> 00:46:18,370 And the other side of that is we are increasing our building inspection contracts, so. 885 00:46:18,490 --> 00:46:24,690 Reducing the salary and then increasing our contracted services by the same amount for a net neutral budget effect. 886 00:46:24,890 --> 00:46:26,330 But just recognizing. 887 00:46:26,410 --> 00:46:29,490 That we do have that additional need for inspection services. 888 00:46:30,450 --> 00:46:32,490 Next we have an increase to. 889 00:46:33,530 --> 00:46:40,970 Engineering contract this is with Foreskin primarily and this is for right of way and just some General Services that. 890 00:46:41,090 --> 00:46:45,130 Foregren does for us, just as we're getting close to the end of the year, we have a few items that are. 891 00:46:45,530 --> 00:46:47,330 That are getting close to fully. 892 00:46:47,410 --> 00:46:50,615 Appropriating their entire budget. And so we're just trying to create a little bit of room for those projects that are getting a 893 00:46:50,615 --> 00:46:53,820 little closer. 894 00:46:54,610 --> 00:46:59,730 Next, we have our credit card processing fees which we're increasing by 9500. If you notice you look at the base budget, it's it's 895 00:46:59,730 --> 00:47:04,850 quite a bit lower and it's a pretty substantial increase. 896 00:47:05,130 --> 00:47:08,010 The reason for the pretty big increase pretty late in the. 897 00:47:08,090 --> 00:47:11,370 Here we had a number of. 898 00:47:12,010 --> 00:47:13,410 Building permits which? 899 00:47:13,810 --> 00:47:17,340 Traditionally, if it's over a certain dollar threshold, we require. 900 00:47:17,770 --> 00:47:19,930 Applicants to pay via check. 901 00:47:20,250 --> 00:47:24,730 There were just a few permits which were taken via credit card when they should have been checked. 902 00:47:25,530 --> 00:47:28,890 So because of that, we had to increase this this amount. 903 00:47:29,570 --> 00:47:33,330 This problem was addressed with an employee who was just unaware of the policy. 904 00:47:33,450 --> 00:47:36,010 So we've informed them and it it shouldn't happen again. 905 00:47:36,130 --> 00:47:38,050 Somebody got some airline miles out of it. Don't. 906 00:47:38,610 --> 00:47:39,090 Somebody did. 907 00:47:40,010 --> 00:47:40,650 Somebody did. 908 00:47:41,810 --> 00:47:47,595 And then the next line item, the last two were actually transfers. The first one is 1.2 million of dollars in transfer from the 909 00:47:47,595 --> 00:47:53,380 general fund to the capital projects fund and this is primarily for Highland Drive. 910 00:47:53,610 --> 00:47:55,410 With the logic being that. 911 00:47:55,490 --> 00:48:01,530 With our general fund having a pretty healthy fund balance, we're relatively near the state maximum of 35%. 912 00:48:01,930 --> 00:48:05,410 Unreserved general fund fund balance as a percentage of general fund revenue. 913 00:48:05,570 --> 00:48:07,010 So we're trying to preserve. 914 00:48:08,650 --> 00:48:12,630 In the event that we do have additional fund balance that's unassigned that's above what the state maximum is, we're just 915 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:16,610 intending to move that over to capital projects to. 916 00:48:17,090 --> 00:48:20,370 Start to try to fund our large project in Highland Drive so. 917 00:48:20,530 --> 00:48:26,190 We may not necessarily transfer the full 1.2 million, but this is to give us the flexibility. If we do have that extra cash, we 918 00:48:26,190 --> 00:48:31,850 want to be able to move it over to capital projects to meet those needs. I also understand when you're. 919 00:48:32,330 --> 00:48:37,010 Grant writing for that sort of thing at Scadorny. Have some of your own matching Monday. 920 00:48:37,090 --> 00:48:38,330 Correct, sitting there. 921 00:48:38,410 --> 00:48:39,890 It increases your chances, right? 922 00:48:39,970 --> 00:48:40,980 Yes, yes. 923 00:48:41,530 --> 00:48:46,730 And then that final transfer for 59,000, this is a transfer which is actually. 924 00:48:47,170 --> 00:48:50,370 More associated with the fiscal year 2027 budget. 925 00:48:50,690 --> 00:48:55,500 Along with our spike that we've seen in our sales tax revenue within the general fund in 2026. 926 00:48:55,770 --> 00:48:58,610 We also have some projects in 2027. 927 00:48:58,810 --> 00:49:04,535 So we have extra cash in fiscal year 26. So the intention is that we're moving some of that extra cash from the general fund to 928 00:49:04,535 --> 00:49:10,260 the capital projects fund to meet some of those immediate needs that we're seeing in fiscal year 27. 929 00:49:10,450 --> 00:49:15,940 And that's the vehicle replacement and then also unrestricted capital projects typically. 930 00:49:16,090 --> 00:49:19,250 What happens with our unrestricted capital projects? 931 00:49:20,410 --> 00:49:25,675 It's really meant as a budget that's specifically to use for projects we don't necessarily know are going to come up. It's for
