Thank you. 72 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,160 I'll speak more clearly in here. I apologize. 73 00:30:45,140 --> 00:30:47,740 So, this case are 74 00:30:47,740 --> 00:30:57,800 good evening members of council. This case is to reason 3500 salesman road from 75 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,540 Blayan industrial to having industrial to align the property with industrial growth 76 00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:03,820 patterns in the region. 77 00:31:04,980 --> 00:31:13,060 This application was submitted by the Rista Addison on behalf of Insight Real Estate Investment Properties LLC. 78 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,180 The proposed site is approximately 47.1 acres. 79 00:31:20,020 --> 00:31:29,780 Here's an aerial of this site recognizable by the previous coals distribution facility. 80 00:31:36,490 --> 00:31:43,790 Here's the zoning for the site, showing that it is currently light industrial to the west 81 00:31:43,790 --> 00:31:50,470 you have Kruger fulfillment center, to the east you have lemon township, and then to the 82 00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:53,730 north you have empty kind of parcels at the moment. 83 00:31:56,430 --> 00:32:03,870 Here's a view of the site, the southern part of the building from Salzman, looking northeast. 84 00:32:04,910 --> 00:32:13,530 Here's a building at the main entrance, looking east from Salzman and the north part 85 00:32:13,530 --> 00:32:16,890 of the building, looking southeast from Salzman. 86 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:32,620 With this kind of process, the reason is required to get through kind of a zoning map amendment 87 00:32:32,620 --> 00:32:40,740 and the following review criteria are kind of associated and reviewed as part of this. 88 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:53,200 The first one kind of all applicable common review criteria be shown and the request meets all the review criteria. 89 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,040 One common review criteria asks whether it's consistent with the comprehensive plan. 90 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:06,180 The request meets the particular, this particular criteria with regards to economic development. 91 00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:13,160 As it seeks to create more diverse tax-based, well-paying jobs, and also protects the community 92 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,660 character by reusing a recently closed industrial facility. 93 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:28,880 Changing conditions, although the conditions have not necessarily changed since the adoption 94 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:36,760 of the current code, in the spring of 2024, some 10 trends indicate growth and the regions 95 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:42,680 specifically along the i75 corridor with development patterns shifting towards heavier 96 00:33:43,230 --> 00:33:46,880 intensity, logistics and manufacturing operations. 97 00:33:49,740 --> 00:33:56,100 With impact mitigation, typically any development has an impact on the national environment, 98 00:33:56,100 --> 00:34:03,200 Natural environment, but in this case there will be none until the user, until a user occupies the space. 99 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:11,920 If and when the site improves, whether with alterations or site kind of improvements with the user, 100 00:34:12,740 --> 00:34:19,400 those improvements will be required to me and exceed all high building codes, state fire codes, 101 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:26,060 any applicable city standards, as well as relevant environmental standards from the EPA. 102 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:36,640 Common needs, zoning amendment will facilitate job growth providing more appealing opportunity 103 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:43,960 for prospective businesses to occupy recently closed location, the closer closure of 104 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:51,900 facility, had a significant impact on the city, with the loss of more than 700 jobs, 105 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:59,700 any ability to bring fresh manufacturing logistics businesses to reclaim the site would 106 00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:02,960 be extremely beneficial to the city and the local workforce. 107 00:35:08,210 --> 00:35:16,930 Strategic objectives, the proposal aligns with Council's objectives, designating the areas 108 00:35:16,930 --> 00:35:24,050 have industrial use to allow for a large, recently closed facility to be redeveloped and 109 00:35:24,050 --> 00:35:29,470 once again become impactful facility for the city and local workforce. 110 00:35:30,230 --> 00:35:35,310 The proposal directly supports the city's goal and fostering job creation and expanding 111 00:35:35,310 --> 00:35:40,390 local tax base and attracting long-term private investment. 112 00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:49,830 And then, as just a disclaimer, no single factor listed above, may control and not all factors 113 00:35:49,830 --> 00:35:54,530 may be applicable to each case, each case shall be determined on its own facts. 114 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:03,780 And that is what I have for the reason I do have a folder included in this folder of exhibits. 115 00:36:04,140 --> 00:36:09,580 I included the Plain and Commission staff report, the recommendation from Plain and Commission, 116 00:36:09,580 --> 00:36:12,020 and the legal notice for publication. 117 00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:21,490 And I can answer any questions that 118 00:36:21,490 --> 00:36:23,150 the council may have. 119 00:36:23,710 --> 00:36:24,770 Mr. Kool, I have a question. 120 00:36:25,690 --> 00:36:27,770 I, it's a very general question, 121 00:36:28,710 --> 00:36:31,110 and perhaps from a position of nine of a time, 122 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:36,390 but generally speaking, going from a light industrial to heavy industrial, 123 00:36:36,650 --> 00:36:39,750 I understand that we are looking to do impact mitigation, 124 00:36:40,090 --> 00:36:45,010 but what is the potential for 125 00:36:45,010 --> 00:36:53,770 what we might have to pass or endure or look out for just knowing that there are some vegetation sites nearby to this property. 126 00:36:54,890 --> 00:37:02,970 How do we move forward and making certain that this decision doesn't have less than neutral impacts to those neighboring sites? 127 00:37:02,970 --> 00:37:26,750 I think that it's the any future user in this building, we'll have to follow all state and federal regulations whether that be with Ohio EPA, that will be a big one with vegetation and kind of impacts if it is a heavy industrial user when it comes to our standards. 128 00:37:26,750 --> 00:37:36,250 any site improvement would move it to the portion of site plan or review and would bring 129 00:37:36,250 --> 00:37:40,450 the code into appliance in this case. 130 00:37:41,710 --> 00:37:55,830 So before any site work can be done or anything too impactful on surrounding neighbors or 131 00:37:55,830 --> 00:38:00,370 to go through the proper channels before staff allows it occur. 132 00:38:09,790 --> 00:38:11,990 I thought we should do a lot of this. 133 00:38:12,510 --> 00:38:16,630 We could prove early in the 134 00:38:40,850 --> 00:38:42,790 past and ask some of the taxid savings. 135 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,140 The building cannot have any additional taxid payments 136 00:38:58,140 --> 00:39:01,680 because it already was abated when coal was in. 137 00:39:02,380 --> 00:39:16,540 So you can't like have another one on the same building if they were to build an expansion like the expansion could be eligible, but that would still come back to councils for approval. 138 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:26,860 I'm not sure if that site can be like if they could expand it anymore or not, I'm not sure. 139 00:39:26,860 --> 00:39:40,600 So right now, there's no tax abatements involved with this, so then the only thing is what happens if some fertilizer company comes in and brings in a bunch of dead animals and sticks to place up. 140 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,620 No, I completely ended up with your question. 141 00:39:45,780 --> 00:39:57,200 So we will review any user, any new business to our permitted use table, and it must meet 142 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:57,940 those requirements. 143 00:39:59,460 --> 00:40:05,300 So things like data center or like battery reclamation things, we have a whole list of 144 00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:16,340 and I do believe that kind of animal parts like that is all in that list, junk yards would be on that list. 145 00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:25,960 So we do have a list of even if it's not on the prohibited use list does not mean that it's necessarily permitted in heavy industrial. 146 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:34,580 And to add to that is our permitted use table if it's not listed, it's strictly prohibited. 147 00:40:35,460 --> 00:40:46,020 So we do list out uses that are permitted, and if it's not on there and is not closely related to a permitted use, then it is expressly prohibited. 148 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:47,180 Okay, thank you. 149 00:40:50,510 --> 00:40:51,170 Any other questions? 150 00:40:51,690 --> 00:40:53,210

This is the third junior rule that we've had a budget of $1.5 330 00:54:38,860 --> 00:54:47,040 and this is the third year in a row that we barely were met 50% of the amount of budget 331 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,320 that why is that? 332 00:54:53,850 --> 00:54:57,950 So the city budgets each year in our capital program for resurfacing 333 00:54:58,710 --> 00:55:03,910 and with that we do an engineers estimate before we go out for public bid this year we got 334 00:55:03,910 --> 00:55:08,910 the bid out earlier so we got better pricing on each of the line items. I 335 00:55:11,950 --> 00:55:13,310 mean if we're budgeting 336 00:55:13,310 --> 00:55:18,330 is a amount of money. If we're not meeting that wire, we're not doing a second round of bidding 337 00:55:18,330 --> 00:55:25,450 a try to utilize this money every year. It makes no sense the budget twice of what we're 338 00:55:25,450 --> 00:55:30,730 going to spend. We've done this for three years. We're spending the same amount that we were 339 00:55:30,730 --> 00:55:43,210 when we were budgeting 800 or 900 thousand dollars, but now we're budgeting 1.5 and we're not 340 00:55:43,210 --> 00:55:45,130 seemed like it's a broken record. 341 00:55:46,350 --> 00:55:49,070 So you're saying, like, getting more roads 342 00:55:49,070 --> 00:55:49,850 resurfaced. 343 00:55:50,090 --> 00:55:53,510 I mean, if we had more, drop the budget now, utilizing it 344 00:55:53,510 --> 00:55:56,890 and doing more each year when our roads are falling further 345 00:55:56,890 --> 00:55:58,330 and further behind. 346 00:55:58,950 --> 00:56:00,390 Mr. Barton, do you have context? 347 00:56:00,790 --> 00:56:03,870 I can speak a little bit to the utilization of the budget 348 00:56:03,870 --> 00:56:04,650 at funds anyways. 349 00:56:05,830 --> 00:56:08,810 We did budget 1.5 million last year in the share 350 00:56:08,810 --> 00:56:12,250 and perhaps we were before too at all, but all the money 351 00:56:12,250 --> 00:56:16,410 budgeted this year for resurfacing is out of tiffered funds. 352 00:56:17,370 --> 00:56:23,090 So that limits the roadways that are eligible for the utilize these monies. 353 00:56:24,490 --> 00:56:30,310 I can't speak to which roads throughout the city need paving and things like that, 354 00:56:30,330 --> 00:56:36,210 but it would be limited to roads that are either within these tiffered districts that have funding 355 00:56:36,210 --> 00:56:40,210 or roads that qualify for tiffered funding, 356 00:56:40,210 --> 00:56:44,710 which would be your main throw fairs, large connectors, streets like that. 357 00:56:45,470 --> 00:56:48,750 So a side street, for instance, outside of a toad, 358 00:56:48,970 --> 00:56:53,310 Tiff-Rid district would not qualify to utilize these Tiff-Rid funds. 359 00:56:56,980 --> 00:56:59,920 So those don't qualify when do they get their roads paved? 360 00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:05,580 You know, you know, I can't speak to when, when road, you know, 361 00:57:05,660 --> 00:57:08,640 what road do you pay them where they're at, but from a budget, 362 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,200 The budgeting standpoint, this year's budget, 363 00:57:12,180 --> 00:57:14,400 the pay being was only from different funds. 364 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:20,640 No general capital monies were budgeted in 2026 for pay being. 365 00:57:25,550 --> 00:57:27,450 Yeah, I mean, I'll just add to that. 366 00:57:27,490 --> 00:57:28,290 I mean, 367 00:57:30,410 --> 00:57:32,690 the general fund is not able to support. 368 00:57:33,330 --> 00:57:37,130 And then we're running out of different streets 369 00:57:37,130 --> 00:57:40,750 that have pavement and then there's certain roads 370 00:57:40,750 --> 00:57:42,670 where there's curb and gutter programs 371 00:57:42,670 --> 00:57:48,870 that need to be done before we go pay and be quite honest with you, even in this project 372 00:57:48,870 --> 00:57:55,530 right here, as we continue to talk about the waterline project, if Council chooses a route 373 00:57:55,530 --> 00:57:59,910 that will involve going down the creedy, we're going to have to have conversations as to 374 00:57:59,910 --> 00:58:04,370 whether we're not going to want to pave this road this year if we're going to run a waterline 375 00:58:04,370 --> 00:58:10,830 down. So, yeah, because we're talking about in the school for the school water project 376 00:58:10,830 --> 00:58:17,870 those presented two weeks ago, looking at alternative and every alternative that will present 377 00:58:17,870 --> 00:58:24,710 will involve running a new 12 inch water main down the creedy. So we may end up having 378 00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:29,210 to pull the creedy this year from the paving project because I don't want to pave a street 379 00:58:29,210 --> 00:58:34,050 and go back next year that then have to put a water line down through it. 380 00:58:34,050 --> 00:58:41,510 But I think it was already talked about, you know, in this as part of the Capitol project, 381 00:58:41,970 --> 00:58:44,490 it has been a plan to pave it for quite some time. 382 00:58:44,970 --> 00:58:48,910 But, you know, again, as to Mr. Brown's point of work session, these are things that happen 383 00:58:48,910 --> 00:58:52,710 and change that are ever evolving, and this is an ever evolving thing. 384 00:58:53,450 --> 00:59:00,310 And, again, you know, to my staff's credit getting the vids out early, we put in engineers 385 00:59:00,310 --> 00:59:05,150 estimates based on what we think the prices are going to be, but when we put bids 386 00:59:05,150 --> 00:59:10,510 out early, we get better pricing. Now, we can always go back and see, but there's 387 00:59:10,510 --> 00:59:18,070 contingencies and everything else, so we may come back and say, hey, after we've made this 388 00:59:18,070 --> 00:59:24,550 project whole, we still have $700,000 left over, we can go bid some other streets if we can 389 00:59:24,550 --> 00:59:31,650 and some within the Tiff-Rid districts, but it's getting very difficult to pave and do things. 390 00:59:31,810 --> 00:59:35,310 Bridal Creek, for example, everyone knows every street in Bridal Creek needs paved. 391 00:59:35,610 --> 00:59:41,170 There's no Tiff-Rid district in Bridal Creek, so it's general fun money, and we're setting 392 00:59:41,170 --> 00:59:45,450 money aside for the next three years to pave route forward and state route 63 from Corp 393 00:59:45,450 --> 00:59:50,690 Lib at Corp Lib. That's where all the general fun money will go to pave over the next three 394 00:59:51,850 --> 00:59:59,970 So it's very limited on where we can do this work because of the budget and that's the challenge that 395 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,220 We face an engineering and trying to put together solid programs. 396 01:00:06,300 --> 01:00:07,260 I got a question. 397 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,920 What are we going to discuss the waterline issue? 398 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,580 Staff is working on the second proposal that council requested. 399 01:00:17,980 --> 01:00:20,040 We are trying to have that ready for the next meeting. 400 01:00:20,180 --> 01:00:22,340 Our consultant is working on that estimate. 401 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,620 Are we going to talk about that in public works? 402 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:30,860 That will be presented to all of council that's been presented in work session 403 01:00:31,180 --> 01:00:33,500 and public works committee to date. 404 01:00:36,510 --> 01:00:44,650 So, do we have a public works scheduled for a couple of weeks or not? 405 01:00:45,510 --> 01:00:48,450 We may need to hold that conversation, too. 406 01:00:48,730 --> 01:00:52,730 This is, unless it's time to be brought it up, so I'm going to ask you a question. 407 01:00:53,690 --> 01:00:54,490 They brought it up to water. 408 01:00:54,530 --> 01:00:59,390 No, I'm just wondering if that's something we can get more in depth on at the end of the, 409 01:00:59,390 --> 01:01:01,630 No, I just want them to go ahead and buy that. 410 01:01:03,530 --> 01:01:09,590 We currently do not have a committee scheduled we will be looking at the note series of meetings. 411 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:15,140 Any other questions? 412 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:18,480 Okay. 413 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:26,940 Do I have a motion to adopt resolution number 21-2026? 414 01:01:27,420 --> 01:01:31,400 I move to adopt resolution number 21-2026. 415 01:01:33,060 --> 01:01:35,820 I have a motion by Mr. Graves. 416 01:01:36,180 --> 01:01:37,060 Do I have a second? 417 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:37,600 Second. 418 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:47,280 All right, I have a motion by Mr. Graves, seconded by Mr. Brown, to adopt resolution number 21-2026. 419 01:01:48,100 --> 01:01:51,160 Roll call vote, please.

Any discussion on this resolution? 527 01:09:01,050 --> 01:09:03,450 I did want to ask a question if possible. 528 01:09:04,690 --> 01:09:08,070 I was reviewing the services that are included 529 01:09:08,070 --> 01:09:10,290 from this contractor. 530 01:09:11,110 --> 01:09:12,970 And notice that part of it includes 531 01:09:14,290 --> 01:09:17,250 the soundtrack that goes along with the display. 532 01:09:17,870 --> 01:09:19,710 I wondered if in those conversations 533 01:09:19,710 --> 01:09:27,870 the conversation could please be had on whether or not the soundtrack could be live streamed 534 01:09:27,870 --> 01:09:33,250 outside of the park. There are so many community members who don't attend the past specifically 535 01:09:33,250 --> 01:09:39,970 to enjoy the fireworks. They watch them from their own driveways, their communities, or may even 536 01:09:41,390 --> 01:09:48,370 be in their homes, unable to view them, but may want to feel like they're still part of the 537 01:09:48,370 --> 01:09:54,910 party as it were. And if you're not paying attention to the fireworks in the actual community 538 01:09:54,910 --> 01:10:01,010 park itself, it could feel like you're missing part of the show. So, I'm thinking back 539 01:10:01,010 --> 01:10:06,790 to the days when you could tap into WABN to listen to the fireworks music while the fireworks 540 01:10:06,790 --> 01:10:11,070 are going off. It would be really interesting to me if we could add that to the services with 541 01:10:11,070 --> 01:10:11,950 new contractor? 542 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:22,140 Is that something that you could bring back to public involvement? Is that possible? 543 01:10:24,100 --> 01:10:28,180 Or, yeah, Council, I'd like to get public involvement committee together to review a couple 544 01:10:28,180 --> 01:10:33,060 upcoming events so we can include this conversation with Yokem prior to that committee getting 545 01:10:33,060 --> 01:10:41,280 together. Thank you. Yeah, I think that's a great idea though. A couple of questions.

Does anyone have anything else? 690 01:18:56,430 --> 01:18:59,250 I have one question to start with. 691 01:18:59,450 --> 01:19:01,550 Mr. Lester, where do we stand up, 692 01:19:01,890 --> 01:19:06,110 correcting the non-contract with our city engineer? 693 01:19:11,170 --> 01:19:13,130 I don't have that information in front of me. 694 01:19:13,130 --> 01:19:16,010 I will research that and provide an update to Council. 695 01:19:17,610 --> 01:19:18,950 Can I have some context? 696 01:19:19,830 --> 01:19:28,430 I got a background check on that because I was stumbled across this information that there was no contract for our city engineer. 697 01:19:29,570 --> 01:19:39,870 Looking for some other stuff and found that out and I did a records request and all of that information was provided basically to me verbally that there is no contract. 698 01:19:40,750 --> 01:19:50,890 And that there was never a vote by Council to approve the position, which would have been there only say so on that to bring the position forward on city payroll. 699 01:19:52,890 --> 01:19:57,940 And I communicated this to Mr. Lester and a lot of director at one point. 700 01:19:59,230 --> 01:20:03,310 And it was told to me that they were going to rectify it. It's never been rectified. 701 01:20:05,030 --> 01:20:12,470 And with the prior council, I didn't feel that there was a point to really try to bring it up because I think it would have just been lost and not been anywhere. 702 01:20:12,850 --> 01:20:18,410 And I think there's fresh faces, new voices of concern, and that's why I'm bringing it forward now. 703 01:20:19,530 --> 01:20:26,290 Yeah, thank you for context. Do you mind if I ask, do you have an approximate date of when you brought this to attention? 704 01:20:26,290 --> 01:20:31,330 It was that I discovered it and did the background check on that. 705 01:20:32,030 --> 01:20:35,450 I want to say, or the records request back in May of last year, 706 01:20:36,250 --> 01:20:37,330 there was some email communication. 707 01:20:37,550 --> 01:20:41,950 I think through maybe July or August and then it just tailed off, 708 01:20:42,770 --> 01:20:44,790 but with the way the direction of the old council was, 709 01:20:45,250 --> 01:20:48,250 I felt there was no point to bring it forward. 710 01:20:48,530 --> 01:20:48,670 Sure. 711 01:20:49,530 --> 01:20:50,870 Thanks for bringing that to our attention. 712 01:20:51,590 --> 01:20:54,670 Yeah, I will say, just historically speaking, 713 01:20:54,670 --> 01:21:22,350 I know that we tried, and Todd, you were part of that, I believe, a while back, where we did, I think we did a search or a hunt, we tried to fill that position historically, and we just never did, but Bill Brock, who was our past city manager, was also, I believe in engineer, maybe I'm wrong about this, but this was always my understanding. 714 01:21:22,350 --> 01:21:27,350 And he served in that capacity as that role because he was licensed to do so. 715 01:21:28,110 --> 01:21:34,670 So we met, we kind of put that on hold, went on to try and fill some finance positions 716 01:21:34,670 --> 01:21:35,810 and things like that. 717 01:21:37,850 --> 01:21:42,030 So it shouldn't be easy to get hired into a position that should have been approved by one 718 01:21:42,030 --> 01:21:43,190 I'm not saying it's okay. 719 01:21:43,450 --> 01:21:44,890 One way to shape a former or another. 720 01:21:45,170 --> 01:21:48,810 It doesn't matter how we got here, it matters that it was not done properly. 721 01:21:49,190 --> 01:21:49,490 I agree. 722 01:21:49,990 --> 01:21:51,650 I'm not arguing that fact. 723 01:21:51,650 --> 01:21:57,490 So I just wanted to give you that background context, that we never really didn't think 724 01:21:57,490 --> 01:21:59,890 because Bill was already the engineer. 725 01:22:01,150 --> 01:22:07,210 And we had a contract with him, so that's kind of weird that left off. 726 01:22:07,350 --> 01:22:13,030 I don't know once Bill left, and we had a new city manager, we had a lot of new positions, 727 01:22:13,790 --> 01:22:15,850 and that very well could have fallen through the cracks. 728 01:22:17,590 --> 01:22:24,470 And then the other question I'll ask I guess towards Council, I'm sure you hopefully all read the email. 729 01:22:25,250 --> 01:22:35,630 I've been back and forth with Larry and the law director on trying to propose, we're bringing forward a motion to try to limit the amount of building permits that we can do. 730 01:22:36,210 --> 01:22:41,290 And I feel everyone into a brick wall and it doesn't seem like it wants to be proposed. 731 01:22:41,290 --> 01:22:45,350 talked about in work sessions or anything, so I'll just bring it forward to the public. 732 01:22:45,690 --> 01:22:47,730 I don't know how everyone else feels about it. 733 01:22:47,850 --> 01:22:55,450 Basically my idea behind this is our water, our sewer, our roads cannot handle the building that 734 01:22:55,450 --> 01:23:01,620 could possibly happen with some of the proposed land developments in this area. 735 01:23:02,180 --> 01:23:07,600 And I'm trying to study the growth instead of being a mass growth as a school of state 736 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,660 that they cannot handle a mass growth. 737 01:23:09,660 --> 01:23:16,660 They would throw us low in steady and what we've been doing is giving them enough sometimes we're falling short sometimes we're over 738 01:23:16,660 --> 01:23:22,580 And that's where I'm looking at wanting to try to do something to do the study that we need to do 739 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:29,420 That was proposed by the law director to look at what we need to do if this is even something possible to try to 740 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:32,920 steady the growth instead of a being a mass growth with 741 01:23:33,820 --> 01:23:37,180 What yeah, forgive me. I know there's 900 different names for it 742 01:23:37,180 --> 01:23:39,040 I don't know the name of the property that's behind 743 01:23:40,980 --> 01:23:49,240 on since the day of the road behind Clubhouse, that one in particular you're looking at 600 building permits. 744 01:23:49,740 --> 01:23:51,880 I think we're going that one cornerstone. 745 01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:54,180 I don't know what to do. 746 01:23:54,580 --> 01:23:58,200 I know there's some other things that could potentially happen that our bigger developments. 747 01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,120 Tall Oaks is another one that's 200 plus neighborhoods. 748 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:07,040 If all of that's built it, per se one time, I don't know if it will be or it will be, it's just an awful lot. 749 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:12,240 And it's massive growth that could potentially hit us all at once, which I don't think that we need to do. 750 01:24:12,500 --> 01:24:18,640 For sure. Mr. Hagridon, I would share publicly that I would support you in any sponsorship and movement forward on that. 751 01:24:18,780 --> 01:24:25,060 I would similarly, and being new to Council, I wouldn't even know how to approach this, so it's a good learning opportunity for me too. 752 01:24:25,780 --> 01:24:31,040 But I similarly have been interested in a potential moratorium on business types. 753 01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:37,080 Not only to be a little bit better designed with what business types were allowing that may 754 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:42,720 already be saturated, but also may already be competitive with very well-established businesses. 755 01:24:43,460 --> 01:24:48,920 Examples of those I would include are gas stations, car washes, dispensaries, which I know 756 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:52,100 we already previously had a more touring on, but it may be worth an extension. 757 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:59,000 Auto supply shops, repair shops, tire and oil chain shops, automotive sales and service shops, 758 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:03,720 personal storage, and anything else that we might come up with along the way. 759 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:09,640 So, 760 01:25:12,260 --> 01:25:16,620 is this something that we might be able to discuss? 761 01:25:17,020 --> 01:25:25,240 I feel like this is a work session topic where you could bring us some of this information. 762 01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,700 We can sit down as a body and talk this through. 763 01:25:29,180 --> 01:25:31,360 And that setting is that possible? 764 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:34,500 What we can and cannot do. 765 01:25:34,500 --> 01:25:41,280 I will tell you, I have mixed emotions on it, okay? 766 01:25:41,420 --> 01:25:47,440 And the only reason I say that is that when we went to the joint school board meeting, 767 01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:52,660 what I walked away from that meeting with was the school saying, 768 01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,060 keep doing what you're doing. 769 01:25:56,180 --> 01:25:57,160 That's what I heard. 770 01:25:58,020 --> 01:26:05,160 So if other people heard a different message, I would be curious to talk more about that. 771 01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:10,780 But what I heard from the school was that what we've been doing to keep on that path 772 01:26:11,460 --> 01:26:18,540 But we haven't built a neighborhood of the size and there's a little bit of a new about all those numbers. They they were presented 773 01:26:18,540 --> 01:26:22,420 And it was also stated that they cannot handle the massive growth at that meeting 774 01:26:23,300 --> 01:26:24,420 I think they can handle 775 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:34,900 Correct the difference is to your point is limited limiting on a per year basis 776 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:41,160 to worst case scenario, it's all built next year, for example. 777 01:26:42,180 --> 01:26:48,700 We all kind of have an assumption, it's not, and it won't be, because a neighborhood's not going to come all together at one time, 778 01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:50,500 it's going to pace it out. 779 01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:57,260 But from what I took from the meeting at the school board as well, was they need a certain number, correct? 780 01:26:57,660 --> 01:27:00,460 But we also don't need a thousand. 781 01:27:03,060 --> 01:27:09,940 I think it also ties in well with tonight's topic, the Tiff-Rid money and that's really 782 01:27:09,940 --> 01:27:15,120 all we have to repave older roads and if they're outside this Tiff-Rid districts we don't 783 01:27:15,120 --> 01:27:20,960 have any funding right now to repave and redo any of these roads so if we're not managing 784 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:26,940 growth responsibly we're putting excess strain on roads that are going to be covered in 785 01:27:26,940 --> 01:27:33,980 that we don't have the funding to pay to upgrade. And that's just going to kind of compile on 786 01:27:33,980 --> 01:27:35,040 top of each other. 787 01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:45,280 I think this is probably worthy of, you know, some more information from the 788 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:52,480 city, from, you know, whatever sources we need to get it from, but I would love for this to be a 789 01:27:52,480 --> 01:27:57,920 work session topic. Is that possible? Well, I asked for that and I was under the assumption that 790 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,380 It was going to be this meeting and it didn't happen. 791 01:28:00,660 --> 01:28:07,900 Can we have this in the topic of a new work of our next work session, is that possible? 792 01:28:09,660 --> 01:28:11,720 Yes, this can be a work session topic. 793 01:28:12,440 --> 01:28:18,320 And I just think that gives staff time to get us the information, to have a presentation, 794 01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,120 to share, factually with us what can't happen. 795 01:28:23,140 --> 01:28:26,180 If we do this, this is what it means, all of those kinds of things. 796 01:28:26,180 --> 01:28:29,260 So a true presentation on this subject matter, 797 01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,060 and I think that would be good for all of us. 798 01:28:32,440 --> 01:28:35,200 Does anyone disagree with that? 799 01:28:35,540 --> 01:28:35,640 OK. 800 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:36,140 I would add on. 801 01:28:36,660 --> 01:28:38,540 I would like it to be sooner or later, 802 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:40,700 like I've been working on this and trying 803 01:28:40,700 --> 01:28:42,360 to get somewhere since October. 804 01:28:43,380 --> 01:28:47,400 And it's kind of important, and my perspective of the things 805 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,980 that are potential and that may happen here soon, 806 01:28:51,340 --> 01:28:53,200 instead of kicking the canned on a road, 807 01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:58,580 which is what I feel that it's been presented to me that it's been one thing after another 808 01:28:58,580 --> 01:29:04,060 that we can't do this, we can't do this and we need to do this but no one is trying to 809 01:29:04,060 --> 01:29:12,820 have any legal way in on that will be important as well. Just legally, what does that mean? 810 01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:18,620 Well, I would also like to know what the survey you'd mentioned, you know, doing surveys 811 01:29:18,620 --> 01:29:23,620 for the utilities and roads and those things I like to know what that entails, what the cost 812 01:29:23,620 --> 01:29:28,420 will be for that so that we have an understanding so we're not coming to the work session 813 01:29:28,420 --> 01:29:32,860 and then saying, yes, let's do this and now we're further down the line, right? 814 01:29:33,440 --> 01:29:34,740 Which I've asked for that information. 815 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:35,260 Yeah. 816 01:29:35,260 --> 01:29:39,900 Never been provided or we've never wanted to go anywhere with it. 817 01:29:40,540 --> 01:29:40,760 Okay. 818 01:29:41,480 --> 01:29:44,220 So, so great topic for our next work session. 819 01:29:44,620 --> 01:29:45,240 Mr. Lester? 820 01:29:46,340 --> 01:29:46,660 Okay. 821 01:29:46,660 --> 01:29:47,400 great. 822 01:29:49,580 --> 01:29:53,160 I did have one thing. I wanted to bring up the 823 01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:59,480 evening because I feel it is time sensitive.
