[0:04] All right, I'll call March 12, 2026, Cooper Planning Commission Work Meeting to order. First on the discussion here if we could get somebody to volunteer for the pledge and the reverence, that would be fabulous.

[0:23] I'll

[0:30] go ahead and prepare today.

[0:40] All right,

[0:45] we'll just go down to the consent items as you guys reviewed. The minutes did.

[0:49] Did anyone see anything on the January 15th or the February 15th that looked out of order or did you, I didn't see anything.

[1:00] I thought there was a wrong date.

[1:12] It was early this morning, it was on

[1:17] purpose.

[1:18] Did you

[1:23] see how there's lights after 6 am?

[1:25] No, ones that sync pay with their credit card points.

[1:50] Yeah, I didn't see it in the morning, no question, no one on that since I wasn't on

[2:00] the plank mission, and I made a right one, do we just not participate in both of that?

[2:05] So just on the 12th and then we'll

[2:19] bump down to the first action item like if you find those

[2:24] go ahead and go for it. Do anybody have any question on the Aberdeen subdivision?

[2:33] I mean this

[2:38] vote. Why can't it is because it's the name change that has to be on the plat and as

[2:42] fall and the way they do it with the recorder's office. With the recorder's

[2:46] office, we've got to have everything in the correct order. So fine.

[2:53] So does that pay as

[2:55] separate application fee? You know, okay, good. That would just be horrible. I think

[3:01] Jared from Public Works standpoint, everything checked off, all of that from that last

[3:08] We've been through with the fine tooth calinifics, everything we've asked them, the other

[3:13] entities that report it back to them, not them that they're good with the plants over

[3:17] to recommend them to your body for approval.

[3:21] Well, that one is good.

[3:27] Moving right along here.

[3:29] The first oversized structure there, over in, that's wildwood air.

[3:37] My only thought was, is he encroaching on his impervious surface allotment?

[3:47] I guess that would be my only item.

[3:50] I don't know if it is, but it's a lot of concrete.

[3:57] I think that's something that we should check.

[4:02] Oh, then.

[4:04] Okay, so probably check that.

[4:09] the setback looks good. Would that be, Chase, would that be something we want to bring out if we motion to approve that, that it's pending confirmation of that?

[4:22] Names good to catch it within the billing inspect. So after it gets done here, the whole world will take that and submit it through the billing permit site.

[4:30] and then they will review the plans as well.

[4:33] So, he sees anything he'll rent a wagon

[4:34] and send them back here if he needs to.

[4:38] But, like I said, I think mountains are in check

[4:40] that an interview service personage and we shouldn't be.

[4:44] I think it, I don't know, just with those two pounds.

[4:47] I think it's okay, because you still have that PUE

[4:50] in the 10 foot behind, it's not gonna be anything.

[4:55] It'd be close, but I think it's okay.

[5:02] It's the high requirement.

[5:04] Yep.

[5:13] And then is he on, does it matter if he's on septic or sewer where he's going to run

[5:20] plumbing to the first one?

[5:24] The first one?

[5:25] The first one, sorry.

[5:26] Yeah, that's the matter.

[5:27] Yeah, that's the first one.

[5:28] Yeah, that's the first one.

[5:28] Okay.

[5:29] And his first one is just because of height.

[5:31] It's the main reasons on right.

[5:32] No, because it might, yeah, it might be the area as well, because you have it up there

[5:37] that adjusted yet, but it's a smaller, a lot size.

[5:42] Matt, I did have a question as the procedure

[5:44] to go through this on the end of the public hearing.

[5:50] So do we give staff time to present the plan?

[5:54] Do we invite the resident or the applicant

[5:57] up at that time to answer questions

[5:59] or do we open public hearing first?

[6:02] You can do it however you want.

[6:04] I think it's generally beneficial that staff

[6:06] and the applicant present because then the public as a basis of what to get

[6:11] commented on. So then we'll so I invite staff to present give the applicant a

[6:17] chance and then we'll have a vote to enter a public hearing and then vote to

[6:22] close it at the end. Yep. Now that time in the public hearing we don't answer any

[6:25] questions. Yes. It's just them doing that. Yep. Okay. I've just done that wrong in the

[6:30] pass. I just want to get on the get on the get on the right. So yeah. And then just

[6:42] a motion to come back to closing public hearing and come back to me. Okay.

[6:55] All right.

[6:55] So that one for Brad Clark. Pretty straightforward that way. Any other questions on the McFarland

[7:02] one piece on that one.

[7:05] I think his first name is Tom.

[7:09] Yes, Tom.

[7:09] There's a sudden, he personally won't be here,

[7:11] but he'll have his son here.

[7:12] I don't know.

[7:13] Cody's coming.

[7:15] Cody's coming.

[7:16] It's on.

[7:17] The sound's familiar.

[7:19] So, I don't know what your standpoint is

[7:21] of having them walk here for a great older.

[7:26] Well, the only question that we have,

[7:28] if we had questions or concerns for him,

[7:32] then he's not here to answer.

[7:33] but it looked pretty straightforward.

[7:37] There's the three of them.

[7:39] There's

[7:42] too many churches.

[7:43] I'm just sharing a little amount of gold.

[7:44] 40 with 50.

[7:47] You're going to have two foot eyes.

[7:49] So did you, on your plumbing question,

[7:51] you thought it was running through the...

[7:53] Well, let's say, look where he's at.

[7:55] So he's on a 7,100.

[7:57] So he's just...

[7:58] He's septic.

[7:59] Septic.

[8:00] Is there any issues with that?

[8:02] If you're running plumbing and a building like that,

[8:03] Yeah.

[8:04] I shouldn't pay to your staff, no.

[8:07] Well, I wanted to think around to accept it, and not until, like, a patient, you just have

[8:12] a problem with a friend's ring, we should do that.

[8:15] We're just running into it.

[8:16] The health department might care about it with a little space to it.

[8:20] Then they'd say that now.

[8:21] They'd have to go back and look at the size of the tank.

[8:24] Yeah.

[8:24] That's true.

[8:27] But if you want to know in a single clean and a couple of all the bills, yeah.

[8:35] Yeah,

[8:38] he could have got another 30-40 feet on that web on there, and a

[8:45] nice line of

[8:45] building.

[8:48] I'm running.

[9:11] And then the next one, the motion for the 20s planning commission chair, Jared, I'm

[9:17] going to turn some time to you just to kind of so you can voice staffs kind of

[9:22] I guess expectation from the chair and what you expect kind of TRC yeah with the TRC and things like things like that that they would be able to

[9:32] I guess

[9:34] Requirements

[9:35] Need to be able to meet

[9:37] Okay, yeah, so the TRC and the technical there's you committee and our new single family set the vision process.

[9:45] I'm sure you guys will

[9:48] We have the TRC that reviews the plans, works back and forth with the developers and the other entities in town.

[9:56] So, typically, I mean, Gays has served with that. He comes to our meetings.

[10:01] When we review actively during the work day, I think it's valuable that someone from this body kind of understand where we started and where we ended up before you guys see it

[10:12] just so that there's concerns, there's someone in your body that you can ask and that's pretty,

[10:19] is it the same day every month or?

[10:23] We provided one on Tuesday after names, but I think that's flexible.

[10:27] Malcolm and I are pretty flexible during the work week.

[10:31] Taylor's a little bit R-engineered, a little bit harder to nail down,

[10:35] but so far he's been available on Tuesday after names.

[10:38] And I don't know, they sometimes maybe we were really busy every week, probably once every three weeks or so to have what we've been.

[10:52] Kind of have some flaws as the demand comes, but I guess I've just seen that most of the time it is during the day requirement.

[11:03] And then a few other times for interview process or wherever that TRC group is wrapped into

[11:14] things you'll be called in for meetings or things like that. So just a few times, I want

[11:21] to say it's overly excessive. Is this a role we've been happy in? Yeah, I've been fine.

[11:30] I think it does just fine at it, so yeah, I'm not campaigning for it and I'm not denying it.

[11:41] Might be campaigning for it.

[11:45] He's only like four doors away.

[11:47] He just goes, works close there.

[11:50] I mean, as far as schedule goes, that's not a, it's not a super hard conflict for me.

[11:56] my work ends around two every day in the way so I've been happy but it's somebody else wanted to give it a go.

[12:07] You did it all year?

[12:10] Yeah.

[12:12] Where'd that go?

[12:13] It came down.

[12:14] So that's, and then vice chair would just be requirements or just kind of fill in if the chair is never able to go there, it would go down to the vice chair, kind of fill in, fill in spot, fill in spot there.

[12:34] What is I think and then the vice chair can't go we would just bump to somebody else on the

[12:39] Commission, let's say if we both can attend that TRC is that how that would yeah

[12:55] So we have that those two votes and

[13:01] Then the vote of the approval of the meeting schedule which was in the the packet

[13:06] as well obviously the first three are passed here but those are the

[13:10] tentative dates unless we have like a special session pop up that would be

[13:16] notified so everything look pretty straightforward on that for me so all

[13:27] the days around any of them so

[13:36] What's that? I will enter kind of motion to end the work meeting.

[13:44] Motion will be under work meeting.

[13:46] Seconded.

[13:47] Motion from Commissioner Woodus in the second from Commissioner Bates. All in favor?

[13:51] Aye.

[13:51] Hello?

[14:05] Hi.

[14:27] I'll call to order our March 12, 2026 for city planning commission meeting.

[14:35] I'm Commissioner McCormick, I'll be conducting the meeting.

[14:38] To begin our meeting, we'll have a pledge led by Commissioner Witt in all, and I will give us a prayer.

[14:45] We're out of here.

[14:48] We need to see a pledge.

[14:51] Well, I think we just have to rely on the United States of America

[14:56] and answer the rebuttal for which it stands.

[15:02] And it is, all, that our community and justice are all.

[15:07] Grateful

[15:19] for the opportunity. We have gathered together as community members to discuss the need for the community. We ask that thy spirit will be with us tonight. We will be able to listen to our hearts and listen to the spirit of the night's feet truth to us. We're grateful for the freedoms that we enjoy. We ask the includes, bless those soldiers that are fighting for our country, and especially their families that are made me comforted at this time.

[15:42] We appreciate it and we're grateful for the freedom so that they provide for us and realize

[15:46] that they do not come free Father, and then we're very grateful for the blessings of living

[15:51] care and the community that can meet our needs. We're grateful for the opportunity that we

[15:58] have to come and participate in meetings like this and better our community. We ask for that

[16:04] I help when we say things and then she's Christ in it.

[16:10] On to the first consent items.

[16:14] We have two minutes.

[16:16] We'll first prove the minutes dated January 15th, 2026,

[16:20] if there's any corrections or a change of motion

[16:24] to approve those minutes.

[16:27] I'll make a motion that we approve the meeting

[16:31] minutes dated January 15th, 2026.

[16:34] Second, we have a motion from Commissioner Stevering

[16:38] in a second from Commissioner Bates, all in favor.

[16:44] Next is the meeting stated, the meeting minutes stated February 12th, 2026.

[16:50] If there's no changes on time, motion to approve those minutes.

[16:55] All right, motion that we approve the minutes.

[16:58] Uh, date of February 12th, 2026.

[17:01] I'll second it.

[17:02] We have a motion from Commissioner Bates and a second from Commissioner Woodison, all in favor.

[17:11] All right now on to our first action item here is the final approver of the

[17:17] Aberdeen Ranch subdivision located at 5.6 88 South, 5.900 West for Nilson

[17:23] Holmes. This was for those in advance this was previous just already approved but

[17:29] they went through an aim chain so I had to come back for us. I'll turn some brief

[17:34] We've time over to staff just to give us some information on that and then bring it back.

[17:41] Hi, my name is Jared Hanukov, I'm a couple of groups, directors, I serve on that technical

[17:47] review committee and we have reviewed this subdivision and through all the infrastructure several

[17:55] renditions work with the other utility companies and we believe we've got a good finished

[18:00] private care to present for your consideration and we didn't have any further comments or concerns

[18:08] on Aberdeen Ranch and the TRC recommends approval.

[18:17] Thank you. I'll be back to the commission in any discussion or I'll enter any motion at this time.

[18:23] So it's shared outside of the name chain so there's been no changes at all to this correct.

[18:26] We have a few technical things. There's some clearances required between culinary water and sewer, and we just have that iron nose out with the culinary water provider of the water improvement district, and I believe that's the only thing that would have changed.

[18:45] We could play the engineer forward and ask the public to come in on that as well.

[18:54] And they were very little changes.

[18:56] They were just technical landing that and we should go to here.

[19:08] The motion to approve the hybrid grants of the business.

[19:15] We have a motion from Commissioner Waite by seconds.

[19:17] That's how it goes.

[19:19] Second.

[19:20] Second from Commissioner Woodison.

[19:22] All in favor?

[19:23] Aye.

[19:25] Motion passes.

[19:25] All right, now on to our first conditionally instrument.

[19:30] This is a Permanent Request for Black Rad Clark for an oversized structure,

[19:34] totaling 1,080 square feet.

[19:38] Look at it at 44.59 West 57.75 South.

[19:43] I'll turn some time over to the staff for a presentation on this structure.

[19:49] Okay, so as you can see here on the screen,

[19:52] on the side of the site's on up to the right,

[19:53] and then just they're agreeing that the building is looking to build. Just like

[20:00] Commissioner Corwick said, the square footage is 1080 in the height of

[20:04] structures 19 feet and some inches. There will be no plumbing or electricity

[20:09] and a lot of these for business as well.

[20:16] Thank you. Is there a representative for

[20:19] Brad Clark here? Yes. You could come forward and just state your name and your

[20:23] resident and then the commission kind of, what do you plan to use the structure for?

[20:29] I'm sorry, my wife is kind of selling my demand to Clark and Braswife, which is pennies

[20:36] it for storage.

[20:38] We have ATEs and a lot of stuff in the garage that we've pulled to get out of the garage

[20:42] into there.

[20:46] Any other questions?

[20:49] Thank you.

[20:50] Okay.

[20:58] Now I'm going to attend a motion to enter a public hearing, I'm

[21:04] going to have a motion

[21:07] from Commissioner Bates and a second from Commissioner Woodison to enter a public hearing.

[21:13] So at this time, if you have any comments as the public, you'll be come forward to like,

[21:17] state your name, that your resident of Hooper, and then you have three minutes to state

[21:22] your comment or concern, just so you are aware that we cannot answer any of your questions

[21:29] at this time, this is just your time to make public comment, so is there any, is there any public, is there any public comments?

[21:40] My name is Jerry Sonson, I live at 44, 34 West, 5825 Sons, I'm just that the residents just next to us being built,

[21:55] We do have some water issues that we've always had, we're addressing those, and I think

[22:03] it would be a favor to have that before, just inform it with the councilor.

[22:08] Thank you.

[22:09] I'll

[22:14] say some comments.

[22:17] Seeing all their comments, I'll entertain a motion to close the public hearing.

[22:23] Make a motion to close the public hearing.

[22:26] I have a motion from Commissioner Waite, second from

[22:34] Commissioner Sotering, all favor?

[22:37] I have the same order now back into earlier meeting, and is there any discussion on the

[22:45] motion to approve the conditional use for grant for grant for grant for grant for grant?

[22:55] So we approve

[23:04] the conditional use permit for Mr. Thomas Farley, or the right-hand-hand-hand-hand-hand-hand-hand-hand-hand.

[23:23] We have a motion from Commissioner Bates and a second from Commissioner Wate, all in favor.

[23:31] Aye.

[23:32] Motion passes.

[23:33] All right, now on to our second conditional use permit for atomic

[23:39] parliament for an oversized structure, totaling 2100 square feet

[23:43] located at 55, 79 south, 7100 west and altered some time over to staff for some

[23:50] accreditation on this.

[23:52] Thank you.

[23:54] Just again, just a rendering down at bottom left of what the structure is going to look like.

[23:58] And then just a site on off to the right.

[24:01] The total square footage that he's asking for is $2,200 square feet with the height of

[24:05] 25, stating that he'll use it for storage.

[24:09] He will be installing the plumbing and electricity but will not be using it for a business.

[24:19] Is there a representative available for Tom McFarland to come forward and kind of stay with

[24:26] the structure we'll be used for?

[24:28] My

[24:31] name is Alyssa McFarland.

[24:32] Tom McBrown's daughter and he used one to use it for like storage for our ATVs and trailers

[24:39] and like boats.

[24:46] I'll entertain a motion to enter a public hearing for the conditional use for Tom McFarland

[24:52] for an overstrized structure in

[24:58] our public hearing.

[24:59] We have a motion.

[25:00] We have a motion from Commissioner Wilson to add a second.

[25:03] Second.

[25:04] Second from Commissioner Wake.

[25:06] We're now in our public hearing. Is there any public comment or any

[25:11] citizens that would like to report and make a public comment on the

[25:16] condition of use permit for conditional use permit for Tom McFarland?

[25:25] See no

[25:25] public comment. All in our candidate motion to close the public hearing.

[25:32] We have motion for permission to await by the second. Second.

[25:36] You have a second-room commissioner. What's in all in favor? I bring it back to planning commission for discussion and motion

[25:44] Unless

[25:52] he's putting in a sink just a white basin or you know

[25:57] That

[26:02] is

[26:11] something that catch a building permit review if

[26:21] no other discussion on your table motion to approve

[26:25] I'll make a motion that we approve the

[26:28] conditionally, you've come in from Tom McFarlane for an oversight structure at 2100 square feet at 55.7.9.7.100 less.

[26:36] Motion from Commissioner Severin. Do we have a second?

[26:40] I'll second.

[26:41] Second from Commissioner Woodson. All in favor?

[26:45] Aye.

[26:46] Motion passes.

[26:48] Right on to our next motion and action everyone as we need to elect a planning commission chair for the 2026

[26:58] year. Staff mentioned in work meeting that this requirement of the chairperson's requirements

[27:05] are just to meet with their member of the TRC committee. Those meetings happen during

[27:12] the work day probably once or twice a month, months a month kind of just depends on the flow

[27:18] of constructions and subdivision requests of that meeting, so they just need to be available for that.

[27:29] And at the time, at this time, we'll entertain a nomination for Chair.

[27:33] Make

[27:40] a motion that will be nominated, Judge McCormick for the 2026 Planning Commission Chairperson.

[27:46] I'll say it.

[27:48] Yeah, the nomination of Judge McCormick from Commissioner Severing and

[27:53] from Commissioner Woodson, all in favor?

[27:56] Aye.

[28:00] Commissioner, that's enough for you.

[28:01] Motion approved.

[28:02] All right, now for the point 26,

[28:05] vice chair position, this is the same.

[28:07] Kind of a similar response to always,

[28:09] they just need to be able to step in

[28:10] when the chair person isn't available

[28:12] to meet any of their required meetings and things like that.

[28:18] Or if they're not able to leave,

[28:20] they can be asked to leave the meeting and things like that.

[28:22] So, I'll entertain your nomination for Vice Chair at this time.

[28:33] The Vice Chair for this passing.

[28:37] Yeah.

[28:49] Is there anybody that would like to do it?

[28:53] I honestly haven't had any.

[28:58] I think the motion that we have

[29:03] is based for the Vice Chairperson for the 2026 Planning Commission.

[29:07] I'll second that out.

[29:09] Our motion from Commissioner Searing for Commissioner Bates has the Vice Chair in a second from Commissioner Williams.

[29:16] all in favour?

[29:17] Aye.

[29:19] Vice chair appointed.

[29:22] All right.

[29:22] Last motion on the agenda tonight is our 2026 fine commission meeting schedule.

[29:29] Everybody looks through those dates.

[29:31] There might be a special meeting here and there that would be put on there as well.

[29:35] That would be amended as those happen.

[29:38] If there's, if there's everybody's got that on any motion to approve those dates.

[29:43] It's also

[29:46] typically approved the schedule as presented back here.

[29:50] We have a motion from Commissioner Waite, about second.

[29:53] Second. Second from Commissioner Waite, all in favor?

[29:56] Aye.

[30:00] Now we're on to the citizen comment portion of this meeting. You may approach the mic. You have three minutes to please state your name and that your resident of footwork. And you have three minutes. There will be a lot of to you. We cannot answer questions. This is just for you an opportunity to kind of wish your opinion or comment. And we take that into consideration. So we have this time we open that up to citizen comment.

[30:26] I

[30:37] see no citizen comment at this time on paying motion to adjourn the meeting.

[30:46] Motion from Commissioner Woodson to adjourn the meeting.

[30:50] Second from Commissioner Severing. All in favor?

[30:56] Aye.

[30:56] Hi, good evening, good afternoon.
