[0:29] lead us in a prayer and then um Jason Baso is going to lead us in the pledge

[0:37] of allegiance. Come forward, Emily.

[0:43] » Our father in heaven, we're so thankful that we can meet in such peaceful

[0:47] circumstances and be able to discuss important issues in our area of the city

[0:53] of Provo. We pray that we'll be guided by wisdom and

[0:58] kindness and that we will also be able to speak with clarity and listen to each

[1:02] other to create better solutions for ourselves and those around us and the

[1:08] the entire this region. We thank thee for our many blessings especially

[1:12] freedom of conscience and the ability to choose. We say this in the name of Jesus

[1:17] Christ. Amen. Amen. >> Thank you Emily Jason.

[2:12] because they both found things out of town. Sorry. Um, Riverbottoms because

[2:19] you are here. Raise your hand. Pop up real quick. Emily Taylor and Jeff

[2:23] Olsson. Stand up real quick. Okay. And then Sherwood Hills. We have Richard

[2:28] Pratt. I know I saw you. There you are. And a vacant seat. If you're interested,

[2:34] you're from that area. We'd love to get you on our board. Um, Riverside is

[2:39] Robert Hammond. I didn't see that, but okay. and Doug L.

[2:45] Edgemont is Charman and Scott Murray and Indian Hills is Becca Curl

[2:54] and Ro

[2:58] Canyon is Paul Warner and Zack Hold.

[3:07] Okay, [clears throat] I try. And then of view is Lynn Sorenson who is addicted

[3:13] was also a town family thing and and we have oh sorry the applied for that

[3:21] position was it it was Jensen but I can't remember his surname

[3:25] » Daniel Jensen has applied um if you have comments you want to say ho this is who

[3:31] we want there's a place to do that online do you want to chime in there how

[3:36] do we do that make a comment we know Daniel would be great so

[3:39] » the the best thing to do is to contact the city council at councilprovote.gov.

[3:46] Okay. >> Um and to give your feedback if you

[3:48] think he would be a representative for president on the north district.

[3:55] » Okay. So there you go. And and just for your FYI, my turn's up in December 31st.

[4:02] So if you want to do edge area, you can apply for this.

[4:06] » Not that you'll be automatically the chair. So don't be afraid of it. You'll

[4:10] be on the board. they reelect the board chair vice chair every year. Um so

[4:16] there's our plug. We're gonna start out with bird giving us results of traffic

[4:21] studies or authority studies. Um and then we'll turn the time over to

[4:27] officer Hutchinson and

[4:33] do you want mic that way?

[4:41] Okay, we have three studies, two graphic studies and definitive studies tonight

[4:47] studies

[4:50] probably this will be on all three studies that I

[4:55] show. So I'm just going to pause here. Let's take a look at the definitions of

[5:00] what average speed [snorts] means, what the 85th percentile means, the volume. I

[5:06] think we all know what number of vehicles are. And then the directional

[5:11] distribution or directional split, that's the direction of percentage

[5:15] travel northbound versus southbound or eastbound versus westbound.

[5:21] Okay, with that um banning drive which um runs from Cherokee down actually this

[5:29] is uh not Cherokee Cher here but we studying

[5:34] banning tri request for banning drive down from temp

[5:38] to uh think that's no but it's not um so close what is it

[5:47] » and uh we take a look at that is just a local street. It's fairly steep uh

[5:53] especially on the curb. Uh so we looked at our craft jade over

[5:57] the last uh three years and we've had one crash that's been reported. You can

[6:02] see it's in 2023. No injuries, property damage only. It was a sides swap and

[6:08] sideswiped in the opposite direction and weather related. And you can see that

[6:12] it's wet, snowing, and during the day. Um this is where the batch location

[6:18] happened. So near the infection, which quite frankly I would have thought

[6:24] maybe it might have been coming down the C grade. It wasn't. Uh this is our

[6:30] monitoring location. This is where we uh put our traffic colors out. We'll take a

[6:35] look at our um volume and our speed of the vehicles.

[6:41] So we looked at about 60 hours, 59 hours for 3 days posted to 11 is 25. Our

[6:48] northbound average speed was 29, but our 85th percentile was 33. Our southbound

[6:53] was 30 per average speed and our 85th percentile was 34. So overall, we're

[6:58] looking at the 2933, which is an awful or unexpected for a steep grade of 8%.

[7:06] Um, that's not too bad. Um, I always like to show this. Um, this is the

[7:12] highest speed that was registered. Um, you can see that some bad apples were

[7:17] doing 41 to 45 and then we had five do 46 to 50 in that category. Um, I look at

[7:25] those and I usually look at the times associated with those. Um, they can be

[7:31] any hour of day. Most of them tend to be at 10:00 to 1:00

[7:37] a.m. in the morning, 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. But I even see 3 in the afternoon.

[7:43] So when a resident calls me and says they're doing 50 or 60 miles an hour on

[7:47] my street, I believe them because I see this data right now. Not everybody is

[7:53] going that fast. Just a couple bouts. So we turn to look at the volumes. I

[7:59] think people are always astonished by how much or how little traffic there are

[8:04] on the road where they live. And so um okay looking at northbound a little bit

[8:10] more going northbound versus southbound on a daily basis. So it's a 4852 is the

[8:16] directional distribution. So you have 1,700 vehicles a day on Matt drive.

[8:23] Uh just in summary that's our average speed and our 85th percentile and what

[8:28] the total number of vehicles were. Um, as I went out there, I noticed that we

[8:34] have no curve warning signs in advance of the curve. And so, we'll be putting a

[8:39] work order. In fact, I've already submitted the work order for these two

[8:42] signs. Um, I expect to see them up in August 99. We're really busy doing

[8:48] painting for school crosswalk right now. Um, so I'll share this with the Provo

[8:53] City Police Department for any traffic enforcement to see if they have an

[8:58] opportunity to deploy um or their radar if they're put out there to align people

[9:03] going southbound or westbound um that they're keep their street under control.

[9:10] Okay, that's it for that one. Let's go to Cherokee Lane.

[9:16] Again, same definitions. Cherokee. Um, it runs all the way from

[9:25] um from Navajo to Earthquake. So, right here Navajo comes all the way around and

[9:33] down and ends up here at Cherokee. And I had that marked in the PowerPoint

[9:40] when I exported the PDF. It didn't show up. And I'm a little frustrated. So,

[9:45] I'll figure that out eventually. Uh, Cherokee is just a local street. did not

[9:49] reflect the shri or anything that uh so crash data we looked at the last

[9:54] two years. We had one crash in 2024 that reported again it was a no injury

[9:59] property damage only uh but it was speed related um and weather related. Uh they

[10:05] were driving too fast for conditions probably and so the roadway departure.

[10:11] Uh here's where the crash occurred. As you know, if you drive a turkey, you're

[10:16] coming down the hill right there a little bit and you're trying to get

[10:21] ready to break in case there's cars on an earthquake. And so that's where that

[10:27] uh accident happened. This is where we deployed our uh traffic

[10:34] uh data collection.

[10:38] And so what do we end up with? Actually speeds are very good on Cherokee. Uh the

[10:43] most speed is 25 miles an hour. Uh we looked at the speed for average was 18.

[10:49] Going northbound, southbound is only 20. So 23 to 25

[10:54] percentile respectively. So overall is 19 and 24 miles an hour. Uh for the 8th

[11:00] percentile that's outstanding. Um and so I just wanted to show you that we did

[11:05] have one of each direction that was going 306 to 40. However,

[11:12] um we look at the number of vehicles here, less than a thousand vehicles a

[11:16] day on Cherokee. Um that's a really nice calm rate.

[11:23] What I wanted to show was that um some of the streets up there are missing

[11:28] traffic control devices. So, we'll put in a work order. will be installing a

[11:33] yield sign on Mojave, a yield sign on Mohawk, a yield sign on Moikin, and then

[11:40] a stop sign on Cherokee as it comes in um to um 14.

[11:49] So anyway, that's where we're at. Um that's that one, but we got some

[11:55] improvements to do with our mobile devices. It's always nice to have yield

[12:00] sign letting people know who does have the right way and who does great.

[12:05] Okay, our 18 3700 North Prop um we basically had a request if you can get a

[12:12] little on this um it was a school crosswalk

[12:17] and uh it didn't warrant a school crosswalk any longer. We had two

[12:21] children using it to head to school either at Edgemont or whatever. uh met

[12:26] with the school community council and the school district on this and informed

[12:30] them of the situation and that we would be removing uh the school crosswalk. We

[12:35] have removed the school crosswalk. We are converting it to a a regular

[12:39] pedestrian crosswalk and um so they said hey you know the road the speed on this

[12:46] is 30 and you know we want to feel safer crosses in the road. So I took a look at

[12:54] um the functional classification on 180 is just local street but 3700 north is a

[12:59] very busy busy collector right and so in order to have uncontrolled

[13:05] crossing location that is marked crosswalk I have certain criteria that I

[13:11] have to follow. We look at the number of to death an hour during peak hour. So,

[13:15] I'll I'll put our cameras out there for like three or four days and then I take

[13:21] the highest peak hour of the pedestrian path. So, that's good, right? We take

[13:28] the highest peak hour and we do that number there. And then I look at the

[13:33] gaps. I look at the highest level of transit. There's no trans on this

[13:37] corridor. Adjacent land uses. It's all residential distance crossing crash

[13:42] history site distance. And then I got a point system where I can avoid or uh not

[13:48] imple implement a crosswalk. So uh the peak hour was a Sunday afternoon. Uh we

[13:54] had quite a few pedestrians while we got there.

[13:58] 64 to be exact on that peak hour. It's a nice summer day. Um and so we have 99

[14:06] usable gaps which accounts for 36 seconds between cars. 36 seconds is more

[14:11] than enough time to walk across the street. Um so you don't get a lot of

[14:15] points there. highest trans on the corridor. We talked about the non

[14:18] residential the next closest distance to markwalk pretty

[14:25] blocks, right? And so our crash data, we had one crash reported in 2024. Again,

[14:32] it's no injury, property damage. Um, someone was either turning right or

[14:36] yielding to a pedestrian crosswalk and got rear ended. Uh, it was dry, clear

[14:40] daylight. Uh, zero pedestrian crashes. But here's where that crash occurred.

[14:46] right here. Here's the crosswalk that we're talking about.

[14:51] So, in our evaluation, they scored 30 points, the maximum you can get

[14:56] basically for pedestrian crossing. Uh the gaps only one point. The crossing

[15:02] scored four points because it's two blocks away from the nearest crossing.

[15:06] They scored 35 points. Equal to or greater than 30 points warrants the the

[15:11] crosswalk. So when we cut the signs, we converted the school crosswalk to the

[15:16] pedestrian crosswalk. And then um because of the speed and the number of

[15:20] people crossing there, um it's going to qualify for low pedestrian enhancements,

[15:25] which includes a push button pedestrian activated uh blocking maintenance. Now,

[15:31] I want to get those in, but I got to tell you, before I can get those in, I

[15:34] have to do concrete work. I have to go out bid and go through all the hoops,

[15:39] but I have put in ADA ramps. Neither side has ADA ramps where that crosswalk

[15:44] is. So, we'll be putting in ADA ramps. Once the ADA ADA ramps are in, uh they

[15:51] they get that fixed, then we'll go ahead and put in the red paper flashing

[15:57] beacons. And I think you're really going to like those. Uh we'll install two 30

[16:02] mph speed limit signs. Uh it's a little confusing actually. Um there's a 25 mph

[16:10] eastbound sign right there about a block east of the crosswalk. And I don't know

[16:14] why it's there. It's so um 30 mph is the the speed limit for the road. And we'll

[16:22] post one about 150 ft east of University Avenue because the speed limit on

[16:26] University Avenue at this location I believe is about 40 45 miles an hour.

[16:30] And so as they come off that they need to know what the new speed limit or what

[16:34] the speed limit on that road is. And then same thing off of town view.5

[16:40] but uh they'll come off that and there's pretty peel went up to Canyon and not

[16:46] take and so that's going to be 30 as well. So right there between Canyon

[16:53] and University Avenue is a 30 m hour. So, in summary, uh the marked crosswalk

[17:00] did warrant a marked crosswalk and uh we'll be putting those flashing beacons

[17:05] up there and uh we'll be doing new pedestrian concrete ramps there and

[17:10] that's it. So, Jennifer, I don't know if we any comments or questions, Sharon,

[17:16] anymore or where we're at. Um, I don't need

[17:25] » Hey, I have a super quick question just

[17:31] » um I just wanted to thank you for getting on the set and I see that all of

[17:35] it is moving forward. I just had two quick well one quick question. A lot of

[17:40] the data in all of these that you cited was 2022 to 2024. Is that because there

[17:45] were no accidents in 2025 or 2026 or are you just using that data set? Just to

[17:50] understand because it looked like it was pretty standard across all of them.

[17:57] » Um so when it comes to um most of the crosswalk data I look at

[18:04] five years. I think I had five years on that one. Um but the speed just a

[18:09] regular traffic study is three years. Um it used to be about three or four years

[18:15] before you get this data. They're down to about six months. So just this week

[18:20] they released the 2025 data. So from now on my the ones I haven't already

[18:28] completed the new ones will show the last three years counting 2025.

[18:33] » So I use the latest and greatest data that we have um with the with the state

[18:38] of Utah. >> Thanks. Okay. So,

[18:43] to answer your question, Bernard, we're going to move on since we're already

[18:46] behind schedule. And if you have a question or comment about any of that

[18:50] data, that's part of why I introduced your reps to you just before we started.

[18:55] Contact them if you know them. If you don't, reach out to Rachel Breen and she

[18:59] will get your info for contact. Rachel's raising her hand. So, um Rachel, what's

[19:05] your email? >> RBRinprovo.gov.

[19:10] So there you go. If you have a comment, write that down. That's what you can do

[19:14] for this meeting. As we zoom through, Officer Hutchinson and Hum, run on up

[19:20] here. Come on down. Um, and then we will be hearing from

[19:25] Malia.

[19:30] Look, we got some ears. Can't get away with not talking.

[19:38] introducing

[19:41] yourselves. >> Good afternoon. I'm

[19:45] » talking close to start.

[19:50] » I'm officer Hudson with the pro police department. I'm the community resource

[19:52] officer for what the police department considers district one because we only

[19:56] have three community resource officers which your guys area falls into what my

[20:01] area would be. Just to put in perspective, everything east of the

[20:04] freeway and north of 500 north is my area. That's what I'm responsible for as

[20:07] a community resource officer. Um, what we do is that we focus on long-term

[20:12] quality of life issues. So, things that patrol routinely responds to over and

[20:15] over again. Becomes our job to try and handle such things. Um, the reason that

[20:20] we're here tonight is so that we can actually inform you guys of some of the

[20:24] resources available throughout the city that you guys might be able to take

[20:28] advantage of as well as speak to our special needs registry. So, I'll let

[20:32] Officer count introduce himself.

[20:37] Can you hear me if I don't use this?

[20:45] » Sorry, I offended people sometimes. I don't have a film, so I apologize

[20:49] advance. I'm Dave. I did a short period of time, nine months. Um, we have

[20:55] started a new program here for mental health. So, my specific role is central

[21:00] outreach. whatever you can think of that pertains to me. It's a very large

[21:06] umbrella. It's not can point to one specific thing. So, in a nutshell, if I

[21:12] can respond to someone in crisis as I do, not always the case. Most of my work

[21:17] is followup. So, anybody who you've admitted to the hospital or like a psych

[21:21] psychiatric email, I follow up with them. Um, families with severely

[21:26] mentally ill, whatever that looks like, I follow up with them. There's methods

[21:32] and ways to get individuals help throughout the city. I work with

[21:37] addicts. So, recovering addicts, anybody in in addiction, I reach out to them. I

[21:43] often set people that work out with addicts.

[21:47] But I get judged by working out. So, whatever. Um, and then special need,

[21:55] which officer will will discuss a little bit. So my

[22:00] job is just getting information out to people, letting them know that we care

[22:03] and that there are things not only here in town but all over the county.

[22:09] Here in town we have a crisis center at Behavioral Health. It's the receiving

[22:13] center and fellow by Flax Summit. We have Vantage Point which is also through

[22:17] WAC for kids 12 to 17. There are plenty of addiction recovery resources. We have

[22:24] Arduatient treatment right here in town. Um, we have Pit to Recover, which is

[22:29] where I claim to work out. Um, we have right here in town.

[22:36] We have the Boys and Girls Club. There are so many things right here in town

[22:39] that people don't know of. So, my job is to get that out there. Uh, again, a lot

[22:45] of my agency patrol as well. I monitor what goes on. They'll send me emails or

[22:52] frequent flyers that are calling in with conspiracy issues that really pertain to

[22:58] a mental illness. Those those don't to me. Um I'm not a therapist. I have six

[23:06] plus years in the mental health world. I'm an autistic child. I may or may not

[23:11] be mentally ill depending on the day. >> Yes.

[23:16] Making class, which she hadn't realized yet. Well,

[23:20] So that that's kind of what we do. It's it's a new program in Provo. It it's my

[23:25] passion. Don't know why. Uh after doing it in the prison for for years, I

[23:30] thought I had enough of it, but I seem to just get drawn back in. So embrace

[23:34] it. Here we go. But just know we care. We're out there. If you have somebody

[23:39] suffering, I always say you are not the the mental illness you suffer from. You

[23:44] are not the drug you are addicted to. There is a person in there. And so we'll

[23:49] try to find them personally. Fine tune them. I I go to therapy. I get fine

[23:53] tuned every every two weeks. That's why I call it a tuneup. So just know that

[23:59] we're out there. We're watching. If there are specific concerns, I can't get

[24:04] all the calls. I don't work weekends. Um but if patrol you or your loved ones or

[24:10] something, there's a high chance that you'll see me within hopefully a short

[24:14] period of time.

[24:19] All right. So my role in this is that I assist officer Halum when he needs an

[24:24] officer to assist him and go to these things. And then I have a passion

[24:27] project that I started 3 four years ago which was to him through our special

[24:31] needs registry. So I found out about three four years ago that our special

[24:34] needs registry actually wasn't working. Um our online form was just kind of

[24:39] disappearing in the ether. Luckily we were able to find all those forms and

[24:42] follow up with them. Uh, but I've done a lot of improvements to that over the

[24:46] years and gotten a lot of people on the registry. I know that it might sound

[24:52] like a bad thing, especially registry. All it does is that it provides us with

[24:56] information for you or your loved ones that might need additional help, right?

[25:00] People with autism that are known to wander or non-verbal are a great

[25:04] example. So we have a lot of autistic children with improv that have been

[25:07] known to wander in the middle of the night and patrol finding them in the

[25:12] middle of the road 3,000 north on the a no idea where they came from. They can't

[25:16] tell them where they came from. We end up with these children for five six

[25:19] hours before we wait for parents to wake up until we can figure out how to get

[25:22] them home. The idea with this registry is that as the parents provide us the

[25:27] information, the information is stored with the police department same way that

[25:30] anyone's information is. If you've gotten a speeding ticket, we technically

[25:34] have your name and tells us that you got a speeding ticket, right? It's it's

[25:38] stored the same way. Officers can then use that information and based on a

[25:42] description within what we call Spillman, which is our software that um

[25:47] allows us to respond to calls, keep track of reports, things of that nature.

[25:51] It allows us to look up the individual by description by saying putting in

[25:57] there that they're between 5'2 and 5 foot six, have brown hair, typically

[26:00] wear glasses, and then officers can go through and find that individual with

[26:05] and using photos that are shared with them can actually reunite this

[26:08] individual with their loved ones sooner. Right? It reduces the chance of the

[26:13] child becoming upset and being traumatized because they're separated

[26:16] from their parents at the police department. Don't don't know what's

[26:19] going on. And then obviously helps the parents because we can quickly re

[26:22] reunite them. Um, and it's effective not just for that, but it's also great for

[26:27] individuals that may be suffering from dementia, things of that nature, right?

[26:30] Anyone that's known to longer, as well as those with special needs that might

[26:33] need a special response. So if you or a loved one are especially sensitive to

[26:38] light and noise, that's good for us to know. And we keep that in our local

[26:41] file, as what we call it. So if your address pops up that we need to respond

[26:45] to your address, dispatch can read the notes on that and say, "Oh, hey, when

[26:50] you go there, do not have your lights and sirens running." Right? It could

[26:53] have caused an epileptic seizure or any situation worse, things of that nature.

[26:58] Um, what we need help with after years of working and improving this, we're

[27:02] actually working on making this more of a countywide effort and sharing it with

[27:05] our fellow agencies. So what we need from you guys is to go out and spread

[27:09] the word. So share it with your loved ones here in Provo as well as elsewhere.

[27:13] If other agencies don't have a special need registry within their agency, they

[27:18] can use ours and we it'll get uploaded to Spillman and that filament

[27:20] information is shared countywide. But we really need you guys to go out and push

[27:24] the word for these things because then we can have a better response and better

[27:27] serve the community. So that's kind of why we're here. I think Rachel said that

[27:31] there's a special need registry cards outside. You'll see them. They're blue

[27:35] on the back for the QR code. That's so that way individuals I want to utilize

[27:39] registry scans that it takes them straight to the website. Um or it can

[27:42] just be found at provo.gov. Click the police department section. Right there

[27:46] at the front there's a box that says special need registry has a bunch of

[27:50] information. If you have any questions I think someone said that my cards were

[27:54] outside. If not I'll put some out. Yes. So Rachel said that my cards are

[27:57] outside. Feel free to shoot me an email. Um I do get a lot of emails because I

[28:01] cover about half of Provo. So it might take me a while to respond to you but I

[28:04] will respond to you. I promise. So I think that's about all we have.

[28:09] » Thank you so much.

[28:16] » And here comes Malia.

[28:24] » Hi everyone. My name is Malia. I'm a policy analyst in the council office. I

[28:30] know this slide is really busy and busy. I'm so sorry. I tried to make it

[28:35] comprehensive for everyone, but I was asked to give an update on

[28:40] just the update to detach ADU accessory dwelling unit code for Provo City. So

[28:47] during this past legislative session in March, the state passed a law um that

[28:54] mandated some changes that all cities have to make for their detached ADUs. So

[28:59] those state mandated changes are with a red aster and then everything in blue is

[29:05] any changes that were made at all. So this is for just the tax. So internal

[29:10] which is like in the basement or it's part of the home we didn't make any

[29:14] changes the council making changes and the state making changes. So that's

[29:18] completely the same >> is au stand.

[29:22] » Great question. It means accessory unit. So think like

[29:27] you have a basement and you want to rent out a basement but you're living in the

[29:31] top then that would be an AU. Or if you have so a detached ADU would be like I

[29:37] have my house and then I have a garage and it's a twotory garage and above it

[29:41] I'm going to build a little apartment and rent it out. So that would be a

[29:44] detached ADU. Something like that. Good question. Sorry. Um, so everything

[29:53] in blue are changes and then I just the red and yellow is just to say whether

[29:57] the council initiated that change or the red is the state did. So the big ones

[30:03] here um the state mandated reducing the

[30:07] parking requirements. So the max is only two off streetet parking spaces if the

[30:13] unit is larger than 650 or one if it's less. And then this is a really new

[30:20] change and we have a map on the city website that's interactive and you can

[30:24] see what purpose qualify or done for detached.

[30:28] The biggest change is here where detached 80s are allowed. So now it's

[30:32] any parcel in the city that is 11,000 square ft or greater and allows single

[30:38] family dwellings. So that is a lot of parcels. It increased a lot. So you can

[30:45] go to that map online and you can see where that is.

[30:50] » Malia, to that point, if you fall in that category, you can't just start

[30:56] building now because you think you're cute. There's still you still have to go

[30:59] through the process. Go to the city, get your permit, get your rental license,

[31:04] get >> So just because you qualify under the

[31:08] zone, you also have to qualify under the general regulations and the set

[31:12] regulations. So just as you have your cleared on zone, you also have to follow

[31:17] all these as well. So yeah, >> question. So I typically think of a

[31:23] detached ADU as something that's in addition on your property, but 11,000

[31:29] square feet isn't small. So does that assume that there's a bunch of parcels

[31:33] out there that aren't built on that people will build on as separate lots?

[31:38] » Maybe. I don't know. 11,000. I mean, the state just said they wanted big lots to

[31:44] be able to have someone be able to build a separate unit on that

[31:49] » and what's considered a parcel in that case if it's not

[31:52] » too not free. >> So this is so my home sits on a little

[31:57] bit more than a quarter of an acre. So technically if if I meet whatever the

[32:01] requirements I haven't looked at I could say well instead of a shed back there I

[32:05] want my kids to have a house. That's what we're talking about.

[32:09] » Okay. You're saying any lot that is 11,000 ft where you can add a detached

[32:14] AD. >> Exactly. So So my question would be is

[32:18] it in a code yet that um that it has to be owner occupied? Yes.

[32:23] » So that's part of general regulation. So back in the black that's been there for

[32:27] decades. That has not changed. >> All we added is if you are going to

[32:31] build the max your lot can only be 40% covered in buildings. So you still have

[32:38] to have 60% on boarding space. Um and then this is another one. So the parcels

[32:44] that the bigger parcels that the state mandated that now allow detach a use.

[32:50] The council made these amendments here that the maximum height of the AUS in

[32:55] these bigger parcels can be 25 feet which is a twotory home and then or less

[33:05] is 25 ft about or less than the main building. So it can't be taller than the

[33:10] main home. And then if your ADO is over 16 ft, which is about a one-story home,

[33:17] then you have to add an additional foot of setback

[33:21] from property lines. So if you're going to be over one story in your detach,

[33:25] then it needs to be further back from neighbors. That was just to address some

[33:30] privacy concerns that council had about people building like a second story home

[33:35] in the back corner of their lot and now there's a second story home next to

[33:39] someone else's property that wasn't there before. If your parcel is less

[33:44] than a,000,000 square ft. So before the state came in, it's all the same as it

[33:51] was before. Your height needs to be less than the name. And then your setback

[33:55] needs to align with underlying dwelling or can be whichever is less.

[34:03] » Yes. >> Just wanted to clarify that 11,000

[34:06] square ft is 25 acres. >> Yeah.

[34:13] » If you have less than you can still build a use,

[34:17] » but it just

[34:21] in the zone if you're in the zone. Yes. >> Okay. So, and does it have to have its

[34:28] own power drop or sewer or >> it does not the council took that away,

[34:33] but it doesn't have to have its own separate utilities. That was

[34:36] recommendation of our public works and develop services department that found

[34:40] that sometimes that's unfeasible or actually unsafe to try and build

[34:45] utilities that way and it might cause damage to our system or just be really

[34:51] it can but doesn't have to. It depends on the layout of your lot.

[34:58] » Um, thank you. >> Any other quick questions for that

[35:04] slide available elsewhere? >> Will be sending us out with the email.

[35:10] » Right. >> There there's a link to the slides right

[35:14] now on the North District website. >> Perfect.

[35:17] » And um I also send it out in the newsletter. So, if you signed up for the

[35:21] newsletter on the table outside, you'll get a link to the slides and

[35:27] we we keep them on online. So, >> okay, great. Moving right along. A

[35:34] proposed change to code. Is this Mr. Blickinger who's presenting this?

[35:40] » I think there's one before us. >> The five residential.

[35:45] » I'm not sure. >> Yes, you're right.

[35:49] Is someone from Gardener and Associates here? Oh, is that you that just walked

[35:53] in? >> Okay.

[35:54] » And I here. >> Oh, perfect. Perfect.

[35:57] » 10 minutes. >> Okay. If you want to head up.

[36:01] » Oh, thanks Sarah.

[36:06] » I'm gonna say take five so we can have five minutes of question.

[36:09] » Yeah, I'll try to be quick. So, uh, >> you can just pull that off.

[36:20] Okay. So, uh developers aren't bad. They have a specific question, but basically

[36:24] this is a zone change to create uh some new residential lots on the piece of

[36:30] grant that was just as recently annexed to the city over the uh previous year.

[36:34] Do we have a slide on the map? There you go. So, you may recognize this lot. Um

[36:40] there's now I believe a fence on the north side of it. Um and then this is

[36:47] going to be subdivided so they need to redone the red agricult

[36:52] which allows for minimum halfacre lots and they're proposing four lots on this

[37:00] histogram. So that's what this reveal is all about. Any questions? No questions.

[37:05] I'm like just really curious why the owners want to have those four lots in

[37:11] those specific parameters. Just curious. >> That's it.

[37:16] » Seems really weird to me. >> I Yeah, the the layout of the

[37:20] subdivision is not really page, so it's just a preference.

[37:26] » Okay. >> No comment.

[37:30] » No, I mean, you're right. It is laid out a little little funny, but it's

[37:35] the the lots will probably change a little bit.

[37:38] » Okay. Uh they probably won't stay quite that configuration because we have to

[37:42] make some changes because of a road we have to put through there. So

[37:45] » help us out the zone change that they're requesting. What would be allowed

[37:49] maximum not what they're requesting? [clears throat] What would be the max

[37:53] allowed have to come back through the process again?

[37:55] » Use the so minimum traffic or loss. Um but

[38:02] they'd have to have public street coverage. Um so what they're proposing

[38:07] right now is for in the future they get to more they have to provide more

[38:11] infrastructure with more public road access

[38:17] and this is still under review but in that stage um of going through

[38:22] » how many acres is it currently?

[38:27] » 13 acres total. >> 13 acres total. So we're zoning changing

[38:32] requesting zone change to halfacre lots like four

[38:39] » well four lots is the proposal but if they get the zone change they would

[38:43] [clears throat] be allowed half acre blocks

[38:48] which could be >> do your math thank you 26

[38:53] » so 26 new >> but as saying roads and other things

[38:58] would have be inor incorporated into that plan. Does anybody have any do you

[39:02] have more? >> Boy, this is going to be hopefully easy.

[39:06] Anybody have any questions pertaining just to this? Yes, Emily.

[39:11] » Um, just pertaining to this is where would access be on the roads because

[39:14] that's right by Canyon Crest like the school like is it just along Canyon

[39:18] Road? So, so this road going to continue out [laughter] of the game and then this

[39:24] is just going to access the spot here and then this not one has access

[39:29] already. So just that one new road is [clears throat] being proposed

[39:34] » right now.

[39:37] » What's the other property subdivided already?

[39:40] » Uh the home with the home on it in the middle.

[39:43] » There's a home in the middle. >> Two homes.

[39:47] » Well, no. You have you just mentioned a couple lots, but the rest of the space

[39:51] is going to remain as is. >> Yeah, this this open space.

[39:56] » Erin, can you explain that again? I'm super confused. So, the the home on

[39:59] Canyon Road with the dirt driveway stays.

[40:09] » That's that one. Does that stay? >> Yes.

[40:11] » Okay. And then there's a there's a dirt road right next to that already.

[40:17] » No, not there. right there. Yeah, that's already a dirt road.

[40:21] » Okay. So, the new access would be on the along the south side.

[40:25] » Okay. >> From what I understand?

[40:32] » No, that's not. >> So, what's what's the purpose of the big

[40:34] fence that they were putting there? Is that in preparation for more

[40:36] developments? >> No, privacy. I assume

[40:40] » exclusivity. Did you gentlemen want to come and

[40:44] address any of these questions? Eric's doing a better job than we could.

[40:50] » But but you're right. It's just it's mostly privacy and they were trying to

[40:54] shut off some of the noise along Foothill and so that was one of the

[40:57] purposes for putting that fence in. >> Did you hear that? He's trying to shut

[41:01] out the noises for privacy. Um so at this point I've been informed. I'm not

[41:07] supposed to necessarily take a poll because they aren't considered helpful

[41:10] to the city. But if you have comments on the project or questions specific to the

[41:15] project that they can pass along to the developer who's here listening, but

[41:19] we'll give a transcript of it. Um, [clears throat]

[41:22] now is the time for that. Any further comments, questions,

[41:27] concerns? >> Okay, love it. Great. Thank you so much,

[41:32] Aaron. >> Um, okay. Now, now the gun that I jumped

[41:38] to, um, the proposed change to code. Who is presenting for

[41:44] this? >> We will be.

[41:46] » Come on up and introduce yourselves

[41:54] and you have um technically 15 minutes on my agenda. So you'll take five to

[42:00] present. >> Yes.

[42:02] » Take fiveish to present but you're about one minute left. Ro will tell you.

[42:06] » Sounds good. >> And then we'll take a question.

[42:09] » Okay. My name is Barbara Leinsky and I this is actually my home district.

[42:16] » No off. Okay, let's see.

[42:20] » I think it wasn't. >> There we go. Okay. All right. Hi, my

[42:26] name is Bartner Leinsky and this is I said this is my home district. I live

[42:31] and work in the North Provo area. It's nice to see some friendly babies and old

[42:37] babies there. and I'm going let you introduce yourself.

[42:40] » Uh my name is Brett Bolton. I'm also from this district. I'm one of the

[42:44] partners at the law firm. >> Okay. [clears throat] So, um let's see.

[42:49] Let me There we go. Okay. I'll go over the

[42:53] logistics really quickly. So, recently we have a we have a sign

[42:59] on our property and recently it it gave up a ghost. It died. And when we went to

[43:06] go get um start to to plan a replacement sign, um we we kind of took into

[43:13] consideration years of feedback from people that they

[43:17] cannot find the entrance to the law firm. Um there it's very hard to see it

[43:23] set back um by code. It has to be set back more. Um so we actually our

[43:29] property Let's see where's the little pointer thing. Is it here? Eric, where's

[43:33] the

[43:45] The cat was here and it worked really well.

[43:49] » There you go. >> Okay, I got his point. So, so you can

[43:54] see up at the top where it says get breath. That's right. Get breath. Flip

[43:57] into Robson Weeks. We actually have 1,400 linear feet. So, we have, in fact,

[44:04] um, a co-orker and I were talking about this. We've known Brett for, I don't

[44:08] know, 15, 20 years. We knew he had a law office in Provo, but until we went to

[44:12] interview, we couldn't find it. Like, it's just, it's just hard to see. Um, so

[44:17] when we were looking at getting a new sign, we were trying to look at ways

[44:21] that we could be a little more visible, um, increase some safety in people

[44:25] trying to turn into the law firms. Um we are within the river bottoms design

[44:30] corridor which has a very specific um mission. You can see some of it here.

[44:36] It's it's it's in the city code if you want to look at it. Um it's big into

[44:41] preservation improvement of the urban forest field all of that. Um so we have

[44:47] experienced some ongoing challenges with both business identification and clear

[44:51] way finding due to the mature landscaping along the river bottoms

[44:54] corridor and because of our setback that's required of where the sign

[44:58] placement is. Um we are proposing that we be able to add just 5t of height to

[45:04] the sign in this one parcel um or any parcel that is over a thousand feet um

[45:11] which I think is just one. So our objective is simple. It's to help people

[45:14] find our office, recognize our entrance safely. The proposed amendment improves

[45:19] visibility and wayfinding without increasing sign area, adding additional

[45:22] signs or diminishing the corridor's mature landscaping.

[45:26] So, just to um these are a couple of pictures that we took while driving down

[45:30] the road. Our sign is set back so you actually just can't see it. So, the

[45:37] problem is as you come up on it going 45 miles an hour, you can't even really see

[45:42] where to turn. As we get closer, you can see just a little titch there. Um, and

[45:47] by the time you can see where the sign is, you've passed it. And we've had a

[45:50] lot of people, I think over the years a lot say, but the slam on brakes, change

[45:55] lanes, um, turn around, try to figure out at a 45 mph zone how to turn around

[46:00] and get back in there. Um, this is coming from the other way. There's just

[46:04] been some vegetation growing that which we love. We love the vegetation. It's

[46:09] part of the corridor, but it does um have create some visibility problems.

[46:16] So, under the current code, which is this now, um we would be allowed up to

[46:20] four monument signs because you can have a sign for every 300 feet, thank you, of

[46:25] of frontage. Um we talked about that and we didn't want to do that. We prefer to

[46:31] have one really nice sign that that um contributes to the beauty of the area

[46:38] and just gives us a little more visibility. Um I know I just have like

[46:43] probably 30 seconds here. So under exac regulations in order to increase

[46:47] visibility, we'd either have to well we have we would have the option of

[46:51] installing up to four signs along our um 1400 linear feet there and become like

[46:57] the alien jerky on the way to Barstow people, which we don't really want to

[47:01] do. We just want to have like a really nice monument sign. Um we feel like this

[47:07] this uh proposition of adding just five feet increases um well it's it it will

[47:13] make it so we don't um create visual clutter and it still keeps that forest

[47:17] feel that we love. Um rubal legal suggested that we make a

[47:22] change to this uh code amendment and we were very happy with it. So this is the

[47:28] actual language. uh it would only apply to properties that are over a thousand

[47:34] linear feet. Uh so all it says is that any property that's in this zone in the

[47:40] PO or the shopping center 2 zone um that has at least 1,000 linear feet can have

[47:46] one sign that's 15 feet instead of 10. So thank you.

[47:52] Um this is the before and after. You can see our one is dead right now. And the

[47:58] proposed sign would just give us five feet in height. It would keep the screen

[48:02] size exactly the same. And I think it looks nice. And I'm going to turn the

[48:06] time over to Brett to give a little background on

[48:10] » Okay. Uh well, thanks for uh hearing us out on this. Um I I was uh not around

[48:17] when this building was built, but I do know that uh the law firm has tried to

[48:23] be a good neighbor and uh well with our neighbors and with Provo City. Uh when

[48:30] they approved this building decades ago, um for example, there used to be a

[48:35] center mediate lane that was required in the middle of university, which we were

[48:40] the only uh business on that little corridor that was asked to do that.

[48:44] That's something that we did. They after we paid for it, they since changed it.

[48:48] It's gone. You'll also notice that we're the only um

[48:53] uh building along here that has mounted curbing. like we have a big earth earthn

[48:59] curb there which they asked us to do. So I guess we just have we feel like we

[49:04] have a long history of being cooperative and trying to be good neighbors. I had a

[49:08] client tell me once he's like Brad I can't find your building and he what you

[49:11] really need is you need to get like a big huge purple dinosaur out front you

[49:16] know and I'm like because then everyone would know where it's at. I'm like, you

[49:20] know, I see what you're saying, you know, but we we we don't want have a big

[49:24] purple dinosaur. That's not the plans. We understand that this street that we

[49:28] all love is we don't want it to be, you know, State Street in Orum

[49:33] like you're, you know, driving through Vegas or something. It's not the nature

[49:36] of what we're looking for. Um, and just very kind of briefly about our law firm.

[49:42] We've been here since 1993. Our industry is super competitive. Um,

[49:48] and we get 90% of our work from customers that are happy and refer to

[49:52] friends and family. Um, and I mention that because in the last two or three

[49:56] years, we've seen a huge influx of venture capitalist funded firms entering

[50:02] Utah, whether it's from New York or Florida, Vegas firms. And we have to

[50:08] sort of compete in that that market. And and the way we do it, we we hope is by

[50:15] being involved in the community. We do a ton of proono. We take on difficult

[50:19] cases um where we represent victims of crime and and sexual abuse and things

[50:24] like that. Just very rare niche that we have. So, um, we feel like we're

[50:31] good contributing neighbors and, you know, part, you know, participants in

[50:36] our community and we're hopeful to get an extra five feet so people can find

[50:40] the building a little easier. >> Thank you very much. Um, so we're going

[50:46] to open up for comments and and I'm going to start. So, I wrote a couple

[50:52] things down and I don't know if they're for Brett or for Aaron. Um, but I didn't

[50:57] know I didn't hear mentioned [laughter]

[51:00] » no Aaron. >> I meant Aaron city staff. Sorry.

[51:04] » No, I I >> So most of my question was because I

[51:08] didn't hear anything about setbacks. Is there a rule that it has to be that far

[51:11] from the sidewalk or from the gutter? Is that why it's because it looks like it

[51:14] set it too far back personally to me because I don't see five more feet

[51:17] helping this situation. >> Um,

[51:20] » yeah. So, so in this corridor there's a a big bumper. Um

[51:26] it varies along North University Avenue. Um but they can't go past that because

[51:31] most of that property that's the green space is the right of way. So they can't

[51:35] put their sign in the right way. They have to be behind the property line.

[51:38] » Okay, that helps. Thank you. And and my question maybe to Aaron or to staff

[51:43] somebody would be if it said in code they could have four signs. We

[51:46] appreciate you not having four signs. If we're going to change code toad, maybe

[51:50] we change this. Yes, you can have five of beads if you give away the right for

[51:55] all quarter signs, right? Have just one sign. I don't know how you work that

[51:58] legally, but we don't want four signs. Nobody wants

[52:02] four signs. Even the applicant doesn't want four signs. Maybe we say

[52:09] yes if you get rid of I I don't know how. That's just my comment for Rachel

[52:15] to send. Okay, Angela. I saw Angela go up first and then I saw

[52:22] Jason go up next. >> Hi. Um, so I guess my question is about

[52:30] lighting. Like when the Riverwoods came in and they put up that light, it get

[52:34] shown up the hill into our house at night. Are there restrictions about

[52:39] turning those off at certain hours? There there's lots of rules on lighting

[52:44] and we're familiar with them and [clears throat]

[52:47] we are compliant with the lighting requirements.

[52:51] » Yeah, absolutely. We're we're compliant with it. We we don't want to be we don't

[52:55] want to be Vegas. We don't want to be offensive. We want to be good neighbors

[52:58] like Brett said. We just want people to find us. [laughter]

[53:03] » Yeah. Just talk really close to the very top.

[53:05] » Turn it on. >> Jason was next.

[53:10] » Yeah. first did an observation. I find it hilarious that that Berkshire

[53:13] Hathaway sign is more visible than your sign is.

[53:16] » I know >> it's a sore spot actually.

[53:19] » Yeah. So, that was uh is going higher seems like it's going to go

[53:24] into the trees more than underneath the trees. So, I'm curious why that's the

[53:28] design as opposed to, you know, I don't know, angling or something. And and you

[53:32] asked the question that I had too is it seemed like where it sit moved a lot

[53:36] closer to the road to make it more visible. And is it the is it the the LCD

[53:40] that you want more visible or the signs that are needed?

[53:43] » We want the whole thing more visible because we've just got we've had the the

[53:47] we love the growth with all the vegetation around and and admittedly,

[53:50] yeah, there is there's going to have to be a little trimming, but we don't want

[53:55] to trim willy-nilly. We want to do it thoughtfully. We will have to trim a

[54:00] little bit to make it visual, but uh visually appealing and visually um

[54:04] accessible. But you just having that height will just make it a little bit

[54:10] easier for people to find us. >> Is is LC is the LCD your time? Is that a

[54:15] way to advertise? Okay. That you're not getting a lot of height for the the

[54:19] other tenants below. >> We didn't want to ask for 20 feet.

[54:23] [laughter] >> I mean, I don't know which is more

[54:25] important, having tenants and your name up there or is it having the LCD

[54:28] display? I think the LCD at the top was going to be the important part as we be

[54:31] able to >> and kind of what you're hitting at

[54:33] there's there's a sweet spot between the burm height and then the tree we're

[54:37] trying to hit. Um it's easier to trim back the trees a little bit than it

[54:41] would be to to take out that whole bank of earth both ways. So I think that's

[54:46] kind of what we're aiming for. And you know, as Erin already addressed, we'd

[54:51] love to be closer to the to the road than we are simply restrict.

[55:00] I see you. A few years ago, there were a bunch of

[55:05] us that uh fought to um

[55:12] the doctor gave me a sign imaging center because he built it too large.

[55:20] Uh I don't know what happened to to the status of that.

[55:27] I think the city just kind of gave up. Um,

[55:34] I would try to move this side closer to the street and make the text larger so

[55:41] it see so people can see it better. Emily and then Paul just

[55:49] » I just was gonna Is this thing on? >> Yes.

[55:52] » I know what you guys are hearing. So, I appreciate that comment, Pam. And we

[55:56] know that the the the sign to the north of us is is a sore spot and the way that

[56:00] that was handled created a lot of contention and we're trying to do it in

[56:04] a we are committed to doing it in a much straightforward and polite and fair way.

[56:10] So I we understand that that was a whole thing that was hurtful to a lot of

[56:15] people. So >> and again Pam, we we would love to move

[56:19] it to the closer to the road, but we we can't. Uh we we we've uh we're

[56:24] restricted to how far back it has to be. That would be my first choice, too. But

[56:28] it's not possible. >> That catch plants down.

[56:35] » We can trim the plants a little bit, but there's also utility stuff there that I

[56:38] mean covered up with plants. >> A comment back here.

[56:43] » I I actually had it looked like the code change that was

[56:47] being sought was only applied to properties over a thousand linear feet.

[56:51] Again, if we don't want to be State Street or like Commerce Street, how many

[56:56] properties are we actually talking about that would be affected by it?

[57:00] » Street. >> But is it is it literally like say like

[57:04] I mean they're putting in some big, you know, a new place along there. Could

[57:08] another >> Yeah, I I don't think I don't think that

[57:10] there's a space that's available that that's long anymore. And is are are

[57:14] things remarkably long? It starts way to the south almost across the street from

[57:19] the country club and it's just you know you've got lovers playing for quite a

[57:23] while then set back. So we we can't identify another property on university

[57:30] » so it's individualized for this. >> Yes been narrowly tailored so it

[57:34] wouldn't cause a problem like that >> because we have a very unique situation

[57:39] that's Yeah.

[57:43] » Paul. Hi. Uh, Paul Evans. Um, the Ford sign issue I see as the same

[57:53] sort of uh way that Giddy um said, "Hey, look, I

[57:59] could build a bigger sign, so I'm just going to build this smaller one that we

[58:04] have now." And uh and that was the whole premise of which the sign there at Lur

[58:10] Rock started. I could build bigger, but I'll just go to this size set. So, I'm

[58:16] I'm a little bit taken back by this of, oh, we could build four signs

[58:21] technically, and but we'll just we just want this one larger sign instead. So, I

[58:27] I see that as the same approach again. Um, secondly,

[58:32] trees and vegetation need trimming. They don't just grow pel, you trim them back

[58:39] to what you want. And on the north side of your property, you've got trees, the

[58:44] branches that go all the way out to the road across the sidewalk. It's actually

[58:48] hard to get through the sidewalk. So, you have to first trim back your

[58:54] vegetation so that that that it's a clear sight

[58:59] um both on the north and the south side. That would make it uh much more visible

[59:04] for the for the building. The fact that the building is not readily noticed,

[59:11] I think is uh a testament to the efforts back when the building was first

[59:17] proposed that it would blend in to the environment and not stick out. And so

[59:23] the idea that it's blending in is actually a really positive thing.

[59:28] Finally and not finally, the sign can be 6 ft within 6 ft of the sidewalk.

[59:36] How how close to the sidewalk is it? Now, I think I I think that we've

[59:41] consulted with Aaron on that topic and we're convinced that we're as close as

[59:45] we can get, but I'll let Aaron speak to that if you'd like.

[59:50] » Yeah, right now they're they're approximately only 3T.

[59:55] So they could technically move it 3 ft to the west on the new sign, but no

[59:59] question that the sidewalk sway further out to the right way.

[1:00:04] » Yeah, it's okay. So the uh um and and the issue is the address

[1:00:12] 30,000 that that's your key indicator of the

[1:00:18] building. And yet that number is as far back away from the street as possible.

[1:00:26] And in your new proposed sign, that number is even smaller. So I'm I'm not

[1:00:31] seeing that you're taking effort to help people identify exactly where the

[1:00:38] building is and what its address is. So >> thank you Paul.

[1:00:42] » Just a note. >> Okay. I saw Daniel's hand before. Um,

[1:00:47] and I see one more. I'm going to take these two more comments. Daniel's up

[1:00:51] front and >> David. Thank you. That'll be it for

[1:00:56] these comments. If you have other comments, concerns, questions, whatever

[1:01:00] about this project, you can email your city council, you can email the planning

[1:01:06] commission, or you can email any of us or Rachel.

[1:01:10] So uh one thing I like to share comments toward the start about um possibility of

[1:01:17] having something in the code saying that these are alternatives either you can

[1:01:21] have signings more frequently or you could have a taller signing not both. Um

[1:01:27] that uh you know it's [clears throat] saying hey this is right now it's being

[1:01:33] written so it only affects our property. I mean this property could change hands

[1:01:37] at some point in the future. There could be other properties on University Avenue

[1:01:41] that chains at some point in the future that make it so that there it could

[1:01:44] apply to other um property owners who don't share the same kinds of aesthetic

[1:01:50] uh you know considerations. Also just uh out of interest um the high requirement

[1:01:58] code it said um from sidewalk level um just as a bit of information what's the

[1:02:04] difference there between the sidewalk level and how

[1:02:07] beneath the current sign I don't know off hand you know how much is that that

[1:02:12] seems to be an affected part of it at the beginning we have other places where

[1:02:18] we might not want uh things that are very high off the

[1:02:23] But here we have, you know, higher B and so low plants are still relatively high

[1:02:30] off sidewalk level. >> I believe the code states that it is a

[1:02:34] certain amount of height from the sidewalk. Am I right? Yeah. So the BM is

[1:02:39] not it's a nonissue. >> Well,

[1:02:41] » as far as the height, because it basic goes from the sidewalk, not how high we

[1:02:46] can build a mound. You know what I mean? >> He's suggesting if you cut the BM down.

[1:02:52] Not so much suggesting necessarily you can cut this further down for instance.

[1:02:56] I mean because once within the code again it could instantly get applied to

[1:03:00] some other property if people were buying multiple properties and at some

[1:03:05] point on university then the fact that we're done something that's tailored to

[1:03:09] your higher is meaning that some place where their sign is starting right at

[1:03:15] the same level as street level could then be putting a 15 foot sign which

[1:03:21] would be more out of place. >> That's a good point.

[1:03:23] » Yeah.

[1:03:27] Dave, you have one minute. >> Okay, I'll go quick.

[1:03:33] » Um, thank you. My concern is the code allows for a 60 square foot sign. This

[1:03:40] sign right now, as it stands, is 130 square ft. So, more than double the size

[1:03:46] of what the code allows. I walk this street all the time and prior operators

[1:03:52] of the sign with that video the video board itself is 60 square feet. They

[1:03:57] didn't keep the illumination at at code for years. In fact, if you walked along,

[1:04:03] you had to put your hand in front of your eyes because it was so bright you

[1:04:07] couldn't see where you were stepping or where you were walking. What What are

[1:04:11] you going to do about the size and the illumination to make sure it stays

[1:04:16] within code? Uh in terms of the illumination, there's

[1:04:20] that's I think an easy fix. You have to monitor it. There's instruments that are

[1:04:26] used to do that and we're committed to following those

[1:04:29] rules. Uh as far as to the as as far as the

[1:04:36] size of the sign would be applied for this permit, um this is what was

[1:04:42] approved when we first made the sign. So I I I actually lack the technical like

[1:04:48] understanding of exactly how that works. I just know that whenever we do

[1:04:51] something we go through the proper channel and we have license licenses

[1:04:55] that allow us to do I don't know if you have anything more on that or not but

[1:05:01] » fair question. >> Um

[1:05:05] so the sign itself sign is under the sub page. So it depends on what other

[1:05:13] tenants face like like they're representing here the name of the law

[1:05:17] firm the tenant name and another whiteboard those would be evaluated

[1:05:22] building to make sure that you're saying people with all this combined

[1:05:27] but

[1:05:31] clarification you're saying that the electronic sign is not part of the 60

[1:05:37] foot copy the 60 square feet copy We're not saying

[1:05:45] » you're saying that they can have any sign size widthwise

[1:05:50] as long as it's up to 15 ft of an electronic sign.

[1:05:55] » I'm saying the total sign area whether it's one sign or four signs cannot be

[1:06:00] greater than 60 ft. >> But the electronic sign that's up there

[1:06:05] is 60 square ft. >> Correct. They All the other wording on

[1:06:10] there is in addition, >> right? We're not reviewing that sign.

[1:06:14] We're reviewing a text amendment. >> All right. So, there you go. If you have

[1:06:21] more concerns, reach out to Aaron >> or Rachel or one of your district

[1:06:27] leaders. Thank you for your presentation.

[1:06:29] » Questions. It was a pleasure to be here. Thank you.

[1:06:32] » Um, we're going to move on to the proposed zone change from her 10. I hope

[1:06:37] we'll end up on our time because I think this was easy.

[1:06:41] I think

[1:06:46] this one is very very simple. Uh so the property on the east on the right is

[1:06:52] wanting more land. So they're getting that from the property on the left. Uh

[1:06:57] that lot line that you see dashed in the middle is the proposed new lot line.

[1:07:02] Right now it's more to the east. uh because of that proposed Line adjustment

[1:07:07] that takes the lot to the west below the AR standards. So they're have to read

[1:07:14] our own set of standard no development being proposed. It's just

[1:07:19] a lot adjustment that requires no change to make a complaint.

[1:07:23] » So whatever house sitting on the R17 would still be within whatever.

[1:07:27] » Yeah. The setback and everything would would comply. Yep.

[1:07:31] questions, comments, concerns. I love it. Thank you. Okay. All right.

[1:07:39] » So, who is presenting for

[1:07:45] » Bill? I never know how to pronounce your last

[1:07:48] name. >> Pepperoni is just fine, but I'll answer

[1:07:51] that. >> All right. It is pepperoni. Okay. Just

[1:07:55] presenting and this is just updates. I know you're going to have concerns and

[1:07:59] questions about this one. I'm supposed to keep it at five minutes. So,

[1:08:05] go Bill. And if you have any questions, concerns, whatever, city council Rachel

[1:08:12] us save it for August 11. >> Yeah, we're we're past planning

[1:08:16] commission. We expect it to go to city council on August 11th at this moment.

[1:08:21] » It's going to be on it's going to be on the slide.

[1:08:26] question. >> This is the general um approval process

[1:08:30] for any application in the city. We're now at the city council stage with the

[1:08:35] planning commission at the end of May I believe and you'll see the planning

[1:08:40] commission results in just a minute. So, um,

[1:08:45] plan commission, sorry, June 24th, um, they recommended by five to do two vote

[1:08:53] not to recommend approval, recommend denial of the general plan amendment. By

[1:08:58] five to two vote, they recommend denial of the zoning out amendment. And then

[1:09:03] the concept plan was denied unanimously because the zoning was recommended be

[1:09:08] denied.

[1:09:14] The applications that will be heard by the uh city council

[1:09:19] um we're not exactly sure when yet um will be general plan amendment zone

[1:09:25] change development agreement and purchase agreement.

[1:09:30] » Those four separate items. Yes, we're at that point we're anticipating a work

[1:09:36] session discussion with the city council on the 11th but not an evening meeting.

[1:09:41] So it's just an informative study session item on the 11th. Um we're not

[1:09:46] sure what will come after that. I think it's going to depend largely on that

[1:09:51] discussion and what other questions may come up. So it could be on the 25th. It

[1:09:55] may not be until September. >> Bill, can you leave that one there for

[1:09:59] just a minute? >> Sure.

[1:10:02] It's >> um there's been more of a delay between

[1:10:06] the planning commission meeting and city council meeting than would be normal

[1:10:10] because city council members have been asking developers for a lot of question

[1:10:14] a lot of questions a lot of information developers have been gathering that

[1:10:17] together to prepare to present to the city council and so those are things

[1:10:21] that will be getting discussed on the 11 for example typically a a traffic study

[1:10:29] isn't done until a later stage but all of

[1:10:32] But traffic is such a big concern that city council members have asked them to

[1:10:37] provide some information on that. A little detail on that. Okay.

[1:10:47] » Um earlier this week at the uh conserve Utah Valley forum, you mentioned that

[1:10:52] the development agreement has evolved quite a bit since what was seen at the

[1:10:56] planning commission. Will that will any version of that revised development

[1:11:02] agreement be made public somewhere because it's currently not on the the

[1:11:06] website? It hasn't been released yet, I don't think, publicly. So, is that when

[1:11:10] will we get to see that? Will we get to see that? Just August 11th.

[1:11:15] » Yeah, you should be able to see that before August 11th. Um, right now we're

[1:11:18] waiting for um the city attorney to finish redoing it and send it to the

[1:11:23] council office. Once the council office has been given it, that it can be done

[1:11:28] in public. >> Thank you.

[1:11:29] » Okay. >> And then it's usually included in staff

[1:11:32] report the Thursday before >> the actual city council meeting.

[1:11:37] » Yes. So Thursday before there's be a large packet of information that will be

[1:11:41] available that will have everything that's going to be presented to the

[1:11:46] council on the 11th. You'll be able to get a look at that before the 11.

[1:11:53] as we're working with residents and just kind of filling them in, what how can

[1:11:58] they weigh in on this is like no public comments, what should they do?

[1:12:04] » So, the public law has already been very active. Um, as you know, uh, when the

[1:12:08] planning commission, the planning commission received 100 pages of citizen

[1:12:14] comment, not 100 citizen comments, 100 pages of citizen comments, plus there

[1:12:19] were 50 people who spoke in the meeting. So get those uh comments to the council

[1:12:24] in writing ahead of the meeting because I've had a council person. I know that

[1:12:29] it's really helpful to receive that before the meeting and not hear a good

[1:12:32] question or good objection for the first time in the meeting. So that's really

[1:12:36] helpful to send it out before that. Okay. And I'm sure the council reads

[1:12:41] paid attention to all of this. >> Well, if you've made a lot of changes,

[1:12:45] do you need to go back to the planning commission?

[1:12:49] » No. The changes that have been made have been made to the development agreement.

[1:12:52] The development agreement is a contract between the city council and the

[1:12:56] developer. Um, in this case, the development agreement with the planning

[1:13:00] commission because there were a couple provisions in the development agreement.

[1:13:03] The planning commission needed to weigh in on, but since the planning commission

[1:13:06] recommended denial of the zone change, the planning commission didn't need to

[1:13:10] weigh in on those couple items. Okay? Those items had to do with the height of

[1:13:15] the amphitheater and amphithe.

[1:13:25] » Okay. Wow. >> Thank you.

[1:13:28] » Thank you so much for coming.

[1:13:32] » All right. Moving along. We have the neighborhood cleanup which I think

[1:13:36] Rachel has some slides for. Thank you to all who came and helped clean up the

[1:13:43] Sherwood Hills Park just a little bit or kind of a lot actually. I think we had

[1:13:49] fun. Um just one of the activities that we

[1:13:55] planned that we could use our funds for for refreshments. If you were there, you

[1:13:59] got a donut. Um thank you to everybody who showed up.

[1:14:07] So we although was Somebody pre done on that. That was it. Just a slide. Yeah.

[1:14:12] » Yeah. Just a slide. >> Okay. Um, also

[1:14:17] Emily has gotten you a I hope a picture about our thing. We're planning a

[1:14:24] neighborhood party at Quo Orchard Park September 26th. Get excited. Tell your

[1:14:29] friends. We are planning root beer float at least at this point. Um, the library

[1:14:35] will be there with their van. The fire trucks will be there.

[1:14:40] It It will just just be a fun time. We're considering hot dogs. Yes, sir.

[1:14:44] » Which neighborhood? You said the neighborhood.

[1:14:46] » The north district. I'm sorry. We call it neighborhood. I use neighborhood. I

[1:14:50] know. I'm sorry. I use neighborhood and north district interchangeably.

[1:14:53] » So, it's north district. >> It is the whole north district. You're

[1:14:56] welcome. You're welcome to bring your extended family and friends, but you

[1:15:00] know, we might only have root beer flows to 200, but come. We are thinking about

[1:15:07] 5:00, 5 to 7, sunsets at 7:15. So >> what date again?

[1:15:13] » September 26. We made sure there's not a BYU game. That's a home game place that

[1:15:18] night. So [laughter]

[1:15:22] So come. [clears throat] We We will have fun. Just get to know our neighbors.

[1:15:26] We'll have different city staff there just to answer different questions.

[1:15:29] » Games. >> Games.

[1:15:31] Bring your own games if you have something you just love to share.

[1:15:35] We hope to see everybody there. We're excited. Last time we did this a couple

[1:15:39] years ago, it was a good time. Just fun to just hang out. So, come one, come on.

[1:15:45] » Yeah. Again, >> the Quail Orchard Parks, the new park on

[1:15:49] Canyon Road about 4,000 north. >> Um,

[1:15:56] » so just Tim View. >> Yes, you can get there from Temp too. I

[1:15:59] just never do. Sorry. So about 4,000 north temp or canyon road

[1:16:05] preferably walking. There's not a lot of parking car.

[1:16:10] Um we have a request for Matthew Grant from Heather Bridgen. Are you here?

[1:16:16] » There you are. Come on up. She's got 10 minutes to present this.

[1:16:25] » I'll try and make up time. Um,

[1:16:30] okay.

[1:16:34] Now, can you hear me? Okay. Um, I present to you today to request to

[1:16:38] receive approval for the York 5. This is on 2950 North, 555 East is my home

[1:16:46] address. It can be right in front of my house. Um, this is an edge neighborhood.

[1:16:52] Um, introduction. I moved in to I'm from the area. I was up Foothill when I grew

[1:16:58] up. I went to Titu. I lived across the street from Titu when I now bought a

[1:17:03] home in 2018 on 2950. Um we love the neighborhood. We love the area and um

[1:17:10] it's not hard to buy a house in the neighborhood. It is hard to slow traffic

[1:17:15] in the neighborhood. Um so why I'm here are all these cute people in my life.

[1:17:21] And um this top picture of my daughter on the couch, that's Lucy. Um we got her

[1:17:30] when my daughter was like a year old and unfortunately we lost Lucy

[1:17:36] on our street by a car that was going too fast in 2023.

[1:17:41] Um, ever since I moved in, I've been trying to do something about the Steve

[1:17:47] on our street and 2023 I've been getting very active about doing something on my

[1:17:53] street. So, my ongoing efforts, it's funny, and I just realized this back in

[1:17:58] 2022 was the year almost to the day um our dog was hit.

[1:18:04] my first email 2022 been working on this for a very

[1:18:10] long time. So after that we got bird going in a bit email bubble and then

[1:18:18] I've been to meetings and I still don't have anything going on my stream. So I'm

[1:18:23] here again to try and get something going on my street. So if you're not

[1:18:28] familiar this is where Edgemont Auto is. Um, right here at Auto State Market. I'm

[1:18:35] right here in the middle of that street before you

[1:18:40] hit up Bang. I know we talked about Bit when we first got here. People are

[1:18:44] running down Banic. They sometimes stop at the stop sign and then they keep that

[1:18:48] speed going down street with lots of little kids that have almost hit.

[1:18:55] So, Ver has done a few traffic studies. first one done um April 2024 was listed

[1:19:02] on top and then he came back and did a second study in July of 2024.

[1:19:09] Um you can see the seeds overall average speed it says 29 um

[1:19:16] which doesn't seem very fast but people are not always 129. Um

[1:19:24] Ver's also really concerned about how many cars are on the street. I don't

[1:19:29] know how many that pointer thing, but I'm getting like

[1:19:33] 3,000 cars passing my house. And this um summer, we're getting a lot more cars on

[1:19:41] our street. Um so that was really concerning the amount of cars.

[1:19:47] So here comparison between the studies, um obviously more cars than we're

[1:19:52] getting. Um just a comparison of the two.

[1:19:59] Um, so call me ideas. I'm proposing um to get the your speed sign on my

[1:20:07] street for all the reasons I already said.

[1:20:14] [laughter] Okay. Um, Bern has also talked to me about putting up

[1:20:18] delineators. this picture on the right here. Um to narrow the road

[1:20:24] here, this right picture again to have cars slow down, bring attention

[1:20:31] to their speed. When the street is narrowed, cars slow down. And that is

[1:20:37] that's something I talked to about also. So

[1:20:43] » you mentioned you were going to talk to another neighbor about us moving those.

[1:20:47] » Yes. So, the problem was last year, this is my house here.

[1:20:54] » Yeah, that one. This house was vacant for a couple years, and it just been

[1:20:59] very long to do this. So, we decided to finally do construction, tear down that

[1:21:05] house, and they're currently building a beautiful house of craftsman. So, we

[1:21:10] couldn't get the millimeters right in front of my house. So, I've gotten an

[1:21:14] approval from the neighbors. They're here.

[1:21:17] um from my neighbors to the east and people across from them. So we're

[1:21:22] talking about this cute house with a tin of a tree and this house. So this one.

[1:21:28] So we just bumped it up for the

[1:21:33] » Yes. Both of them have. >> So do we still want the new

[1:21:41] » So Heather [clears throat] have a comment because I remember Vern. Correct

[1:21:45] me if I'm wrong, but Vern said to do those calming measures would be

[1:21:50] sufficient. But my understanding is your neighbors

[1:21:54] did not want it was going to infringe on the space they could park your car into

[1:21:59] the park. I think you guys on 2950 need to get your cars

[1:22:04] off the street. That would that's the number one thing because I mean I know

[1:22:09] everybody likes to park on the street, but 2950 is a narrow street. 2875 28 is

[1:22:15] not a narrow street. It is a very very wide street much wider than wants to

[1:22:20] give up their street parking. >> No, no, not nobody. The people down west

[1:22:27] » which was our second option for the deliminators. They did not.

[1:22:31] » Okay. >> So, one is an elderly lady. She actually

[1:22:33] lives in her home alone, but her family comes to visit. She did not want that.

[1:22:37] The other people across the street have 10 kids. They have visitors all the

[1:22:41] time. They were very willing to give up part.

[1:22:45] » Okay.

[1:22:48] » Okay. So, that was kind of to my question. It sounds like if you have

[1:22:52] approval for the delineator, you're also asking for the USC sign,

[1:22:56] » right? >> How much does that [clears throat] cost?

[1:22:59] » So, that's I'm going to give that one to Rachel because I'm hoping you have those

[1:23:02] numbers somewhere. So, what we're asking here, in case you're unfamiliar with the

[1:23:07] matching grant program, Pro City has a program wherein that they um

[1:23:13] not give but assign a lot, that's a better term. They

[1:23:20] all lot so much money to each district. Now, it's by district, not neighborhood.

[1:23:26] So, each district is allotted a certain amount. I mean, $7500,

[1:23:32] » correct? per year um that we're allowed to say, "Oh, yes,

[1:23:39] Provo City, spend that money on this project. Please, we as a group get to

[1:23:44] vote on that." Um and then we as a board do something

[1:23:49] else. I'm not sure. Anyway, so to that 7500, you're thinking, "Well, that's not

[1:23:55] a lot of money." Um, if we volunteer, maybe you saw some

[1:23:59] cute slides for the for the cleaning up the park, every person that showed up

[1:24:05] gets credit to match those funds. So, if you come and you put in um

[1:24:12] service hours that are visible service hours, we get to match up to $7,500.

[1:24:20] And I think they pay you, not that you will ever see it because it goes to the

[1:24:25] matching grant, but they give a credit of $10 now $15 an hour. We got a race

[1:24:31] $15 an hour to be working in our area that we can also. So we would have

[1:24:37] $14,000 $15,000 to spend for projects. Rachel,

[1:24:44] what would this sign cost? So, uh, your speed sign costs $3,186

[1:24:53] and currently in available funding, you have because you haven't done a

[1:25:00] matching grant for you didn't do one last year, you have $16,128

[1:25:07] that's available, you've only earned 5,354

[1:25:12] of that. So, you can spend right now 5,354,

[1:25:19] which is more than the 3,186 that this sign would cost. Um, and and

[1:25:25] you would need to do more service hours in order to earn that full amount of the

[1:25:31] 16,000 >> for something else, which we haven't

[1:25:34] heard about yet. If you have a project you think would benefit our area,

[1:25:39] you talk to Rachel and she'll walk you through the application process.

[1:25:44] So at this moment, yes, the um the narrowing that would be

[1:25:50] covered by the city and not a matching grant. So we're just talking about the

[1:25:53] speed side, the speed, the matching grant money. So the narrowing could

[1:25:58] happen anyway if that's not >> okay. And so to that end, we can vote to

[1:26:06] postpone this for six months until the city is done. We have a few options but

[1:26:12] not a lot of time at this one. Thank those choices. Emily has a question.

[1:26:17] Just idea was if that's put in there, will that push the speedy traffic onto

[1:26:23] the roads just adjacent to it? Like has that thought of it all? I drive that

[1:26:29] every time I go to work. Sorry. [gasps] [laughter]

[1:26:34] That's where I work and I do. And that would be my comment to this. I'm not

[1:26:39] sure your street sign would work. And this is just Sharon's opinion, personal

[1:26:43] opinion. I know traffic engineering. Just as I drive because it's such a

[1:26:48] short distance. I know where it is on Drive, where it is on Canyon Road. I

[1:26:52] slow down when I see it. Oops. Sorry. And I slow down. I'm already going that

[1:26:58] slow on this street because it's such a short distance. But I think the people

[1:27:01] zooming through there, frankly, I don't think they care very much. So I don't

[1:27:05] think they're going to care if they see flash. They're gonna say cool look at

[1:27:08] me. But that's just my opinion. So that's why we want your opinion on this.

[1:27:13] Do you want to send these mapping grants funds that that otherwise well I have no

[1:27:21] other projects in the pipeline. So >> I I just have one more thing to say. um

[1:27:27] back in January 15, 2025. Down here is this bottom where it starts with

[1:27:32] residents at the meeting voted to support the poor with Richard's

[1:27:35] application first and then we took a vote and you all voted to do mine

[1:27:39] second. I'm just wanting it out. I'm here again

[1:27:44] July 2026 >> with two dogs, six kids, and I'm still

[1:27:52] here. Really frustrated. All right, ma'am. I'm sorry your name.

[1:27:56] » Oh, >> I have a neighbor.

[1:27:59] » I'm Jennifer. I'm the neighbor and I want it so much in front of my house. I

[1:28:04] want the road narrower. We've owned our home for two years and the very first

[1:28:09] winter when we had snow. I was out shoveling my walk and the big giant SUVs

[1:28:16] flying past me were sending a hail of snow up over me halfway into my yard. It

[1:28:22] was terrifying to clear my walk. And that's when I talked to Heather and

[1:28:27] found out about her poor dog. You have to understand this was a brutal murder

[1:28:32] of her dog in front of her family. People are going too fast on our street.

[1:28:38] And every time B does a study, they're getting faster and they're getting more

[1:28:42] dangerous. And we are not a collector street. Indian Hills is a collector

[1:28:48] street. We are a local street and we have seven families of little kids on

[1:28:54] our street. So I desperately want the road narrower in front of my house and

[1:29:00] the sign to help people realize, oh, I'm on a local street. We happen to sit

[1:29:06] between two collector streets, but we are a local street.

[1:29:10] » Okay. And that's I wasn't implying in any way that we should slow people down.

[1:29:15] I think the delineators do it. And I disagree with Scott adamantly. I think

[1:29:19] the part covers actually slow people down because [clears throat] I can't

[1:29:23] pass. >> The construction that's been going on

[1:29:25] for a year across me has not slowed down.

[1:29:29] » All right. Well, there we are. So, >> we're going to vote on

[1:29:37] whether or not you would like to see our matchy grants go towards this project

[1:29:44] with this year. Jason, did you have a question?

[1:29:46] » Yeah. >> Is it a use it or lose it grant kind of

[1:29:50] thing? >> Um, the city goes back and forth between

[1:29:52] use it or lose it annually and their fiscal year is um June July 1st to June

[1:30:00] 30. So, so that makes us hard because of course we get into it. No. And

[1:30:06] » the city council voted that it can be rolled over

[1:30:10] » and and that's what I was going to say. how right now it can be rolled over and

[1:30:14] that's why you heard the man so much. >> Now it's it can be rolled over.

[1:30:20] » Yeah. I don't mean to be uncsensitive about it. I mean the trend was going

[1:30:23] down in terms of speed. 27 being the average is probably the same as every

[1:30:28] neighborhood. >> I saw 33 on there in one slide of

[1:30:31] » it was 85%. >> Brett Brett comment.

[1:30:35] » Yeah. I we used to live right at the bottom of Indian Hills Drive and so

[1:30:39] Indian Hills Drive and then Indian Hills Circle that that we lived there for

[1:30:44] years and we had we we have a bazillion kids that are older now but we were

[1:30:50] terrified because it's so fast coming down those hills and these guys are in

[1:30:53] the same boat, you know, and so we we fought forever to try to get a stop sign

[1:30:57] or roundabout there to no avail. Um but uh they did add the bike lanes which

[1:31:04] narrowed it which did seem to slow it a little bit. Um but um I just think

[1:31:10] anything you can do to slow traffic is great. Narrowing the signs, the speed

[1:31:15] signs. Um you know we one of the things we do at our firm is we have the

[1:31:20] difficult task of frequently representing family whose whose children

[1:31:24] are killed in as pedestrians. You know that's just something that it happens

[1:31:29] all the time. And so, you know, I would be a strong supporter of belt and

[1:31:35] suspenders on this. You know, narrow it, put a sign on, like whatever whatever,

[1:31:41] you know, approved things or are available you ought to do because you

[1:31:45] you really are going to save a kid eventually by doing that.

[1:31:49] » So, I'm going to simply phrase the motion. I make a motion that we

[1:31:54] approve $3,000 to put a seat sign on 2950 North 558

[1:32:00] » or whatever the total is 31. >> Would it be two signs and one in each

[1:32:05] direction? >> The one that's been proposed requested

[1:32:09] at this moment simply is weather traffic. It's not for each traffic and

[1:32:13] that price is for only one sign. Emily's made a second that we send those

[1:32:20] signs that way.

[1:32:24] Hey, all in favor

[1:32:31] » you do have to live in our north.

[1:32:41] I see one person. Okay. By the way, you need to be.

[1:32:51] All right, we are past our time, but just FYI, so I'm going to say if you

[1:32:56] have North District concerns, um, again, reach out to

[1:33:02] us or Rachel or the city council. I am going to give one minute to the Provo

[1:33:09] School District because in case you haven't heard, they want to raise your

[1:33:13] taxes. Loa is going to time you. So,

[1:33:17] » okay, really quick. We are asking for $1.3 million and the majority will go to

[1:33:21] teacher salaries. A small portion will go to our service debt. Um, it's overall

[1:33:27] just under 2% and a $5,000 500 $5,000 home. A $500,000 home will pay around

[1:33:35] $30 to $40. So, a $500,000 business pay about $60. This coming Wednesday, uh,

[1:33:44] August 5th, is our meeting at 6 PM where you can come and make comment to us

[1:33:50] before we make a vote at the Provo City School District building at 6 p.m.

[1:33:56] » You can also email, you can also email board of education at provo.edu edu with

[1:34:01] questions or concerns before or come at [clears throat] night.

[1:34:06] » And I'll be back in the back if you want to ask those questions after. And if

[1:34:11] you're really really concerned about how much this really means for your home,

[1:34:14] you should have gotten your valuation notice just in the bottom, but you

[1:34:18] should have it in your hand. [clears throat] So, thank you so much

[1:34:20] everybody for coming. We couldn't do it without touch. Thanks

[1:34:24] very much.

[1:34:28] Um, I was just confirmed because
