[0:01]
>> Recording in progress.
[0:04]
>> All right. Welcome to the Pro Misipal
[0:05]
Council work meeting August 25th, 2026
[0:08]
at 1:00 p.m. We'll do a roll call of the
[0:11]
elected officials.
[0:13]
>> Rachel Whipple,
[0:14]
>> Becky Bogden,
[0:15]
>> Jeff Wlock,
[0:16]
>> Katrice Mccay,
[0:17]
>> Christensen, Gary Garrett,
[0:20]
>> and we have Travis Hoben on Zoom. Is he
[0:22]
there yet, Kevin?
[0:24]
>> Okay, he'll be joining us later. is
[0:26]
proposed that we approve.
[0:29]
Although this is a public meeting, only
[0:31]
the presenters and those invited by the
[0:32]
council may speak or ask questions
[0:34]
unless otherwise abided by the chair.
[0:36]
Please wait to speak until called on by
[0:40]
the council chair. When speaking, please
[0:43]
be sure to use a microphone so the
[0:44]
record is clear and those attending
[0:46]
virtually can hear you. Please also be
[0:48]
sure to limit side conversations as they
[0:49]
interfere with the audio recording. If
[0:51]
you need to have a side conversation,
[0:52]
please step out of the work meeting
[0:53]
room. And we'd like to recognize that
[0:55]
Mayor Marcia Judkins has joined us. It
[0:57]
is proposed that we approve the
[0:59]
following minutes. August 11th, 2026
[1:02]
work meeting. Are there any objections
[1:04]
or requested changes?
[1:07]
>> Did we get that change?
[1:08]
>> We got those changes.
[1:09]
>> I'm good. Okay. All right. Seeing no
[1:11]
objection, I'll declare the minutes
[1:12]
approved by unanimous consent. Our first
[1:15]
item of business is an ordinance
[1:16]
regarding outdoor lighting standards as
[1:18]
presented by Britain Johnson, our
[1:21]
council intern.
[1:23]
Okay,
[1:27]
» we'd like to announce that Travis Hobin
[1:29]
is on Zoom.
[1:31]
>> Okay, perfect. Uh, good afternoon,
[1:34]
council. This is a little bit more of a
[1:35]
crowd than the last time I presented a
[1:37]
couple weeks ago. So, it's good to see
[1:38]
everyone in person. Um, yeah, I'm just
[1:41]
here to talk about um some updates to
[1:43]
our outdoor lighting code um based off
[1:45]
of our discussion a couple weeks ago. So
[1:47]
to start, I just wanted to do a brief
[1:49]
recap for those who weren't here of our
[1:51]
last meeting discussion. These are the
[1:53]
three main proposed changes to our
[1:55]
outdoor lighting code. The first would
[1:57]
require all new and um replaced outdoor
[2:02]
lights to meet a color correlated color
[2:04]
temperature standard um which would be
[2:06]
3,000 Kelvin or less except for a few
[2:08]
exceptions. One of those being sports
[2:10]
facilities that allow 5,700 Kelvin on
[2:13]
the playing surface. Uh secondly is
[2:15]
requiring full shielding for all new
[2:17]
outdoor lighting. Um rather than cut off
[2:20]
lighting as it was written in our our
[2:23]
current code. Uh and that implies that
[2:25]
the light is fully recessed in the
[2:27]
fixture that all the lights directed
[2:29]
downward and that none of it escapes
[2:31]
above the 90 degrees 90 degree plane
[2:35]
like that. Um, and then lastly is
[2:38]
updating our language for off- premises
[2:40]
electronic display science to better
[2:42]
mirror our on premises electronic
[2:44]
display science code in title six of
[2:48]
proip code. Any questions on that
[2:50]
actually before I unlock them? Okay,
[2:52]
cool. Um the reason that your
[2:54]
presentation is slightly different than
[2:56]
what you saw in your packet is because
[2:58]
in the first iteration of the proposed
[3:00]
change for um the electronic signs, um
[3:04]
nighttime hours were defined as from
[3:05]
dawn until dusk, which doesn't really
[3:08]
make sense because dawn is sunrise and
[3:11]
dusk is sunset. That would be during the
[3:12]
daytime. So to clarify that we updated
[3:16]
the language to match better what title
[3:18]
six says. Um
[3:20]
>> so that's one slight change that we
[3:22]
made.
[3:23]
>> Um
[3:25]
>> I don't know.
[3:27]
>> What did you
[3:31]
» Okay. Um so
[3:35]
regarding the discussion from last week
[3:36]
meeting, it felt like the council at
[3:37]
large wanted some more clarification on
[3:40]
residential outdoor lights. what will
[3:42]
happen to existing lights and when they
[3:44]
would necessitate
[3:46]
um
[3:47]
compliance with the new standards for
[3:50]
color temperature and shielding. And so
[3:52]
in the exemption section, we've written
[3:54]
this. It says any existing outdoor
[3:56]
lighting fixture attached to a structure
[3:59]
on a residential property as of today um
[4:03]
would be exempt. meaning that if you
[4:05]
replace like the light bulb or like a
[4:07]
component level piece of your fixture,
[4:11]
you wouldn't have to change it to meet
[4:13]
the new standards. So, let's say you had
[4:14]
like a 5,000 Kelvin light that was super
[4:17]
bright white and it and it burnt out. If
[4:20]
you can replace it, just the bulb, you
[4:21]
could replace it with a 5,000 Kelvin
[4:23]
light the way that this is written.
[4:25]
However, if the entire fixture needs to
[4:27]
be complaced like it says in the second
[4:29]
sentence, um then the exemp exemption
[4:32]
does not apply. So the entire fixture
[4:34]
needs to be replaced then it would need
[4:36]
to meet our our standards with the color
[4:38]
temperature and shielding. Gotcha.
[4:40]
>> Okay. And I'm open to discussion on
[4:42]
that. But that was what I came up with.
[4:45]
>> Um councelor Bogden had a question about
[4:48]
lower color temperature lights um and
[4:51]
the cost difference between higher color
[4:53]
temperature ones um and wanted some
[4:55]
information. So um to explain kind of
[4:59]
how LEDs are manufactured, they start
[5:01]
with this semiconductor chip and that's
[5:03]
like the main cost um in producing an
[5:06]
LED. Then after that a phosphor coating
[5:09]
is put on top of the light emmitting
[5:11]
diode and that's called color tuning is the kind of recipe of or the blend of
[5:17]
phosphor that they put on the the chip
[5:19]
will determine how warm or how cool the
[5:21]
light comes out. And so, um, it requires
[5:24]
a tiny bit more phosphor to have a
[5:26]
warmer color temperature light, but it's
[5:27]
fractions of a cent per unit. So, you
[5:30]
don't see any difference in costs both
[5:32]
at the retail and the wholesale level.
[5:35]
Uh, and the last thing I wanted to
[5:37]
address that I probably should have last
[5:38]
time, I'm sorry, just to Yeah, go ahead.
[5:41]
Sure. If you'd go back one, and that
[5:43]
also would mean that there's no
[5:44]
significant difference in terms of the
[5:46]
actual electricity used.
[5:48]
>> Correct. Um there's no difference in
[5:50]
electricity used between a lower color
[5:52]
temperature and a higher color
[5:53]
temperature. Um the output output and
[5:56]
color temperature are not equivalent.
[5:58]
>> So you could have a really really high
[6:01]
output warm light or a really really low
[6:05]
output
[6:06]
cool light or blue light. Does that
[6:09]
answer your question?
[6:11]
>> Okay. So um with that in mind um last
[6:13]
thing I wanted to talk about was public
[6:15]
education. During my research, as I
[6:17]
talked to other cities, this was a big
[6:18]
point of emphasis in that if some of
[6:20]
these proposed changes uh move forward
[6:23]
that the public has some kind of
[6:25]
resource to answer questions that are
[6:27]
frequently asked and um some
[6:30]
misconceptions with lighting. I think
[6:31]
one thing that this uh example does
[6:33]
really well, this is from Weber County,
[6:35]
um is the visual examples of what would
[6:38]
be compliant and what would not be
[6:40]
compliant with the full shielding on the
[6:41]
bottom right. Um, I think something like
[6:43]
that could be beneficial. And in talking
[6:45]
with uh Patricio, our director of power,
[6:48]
he said that we he'd be happy to
[6:50]
collaborate on creating something like
[6:52]
this um to help our residents. So, with
[6:55]
that, um, we can amend anything in this
[6:59]
these proposed changes. Um, continue
[7:01]
this to a future work meeting or, um,
[7:04]
let this go to our our night meeting
[7:06]
item later today. That's all I have.
[7:08]
>> We do number two. Does that mean
[7:11]
tonight's meeting is cancelled?
[7:13]
[laughter]
[7:14]
>> We still have a recognition.
[7:17]
>> It's
[7:21]
» okay. I have a couple questions.
[7:22]
>> Okay, sure.
[7:23]
>> Number one, what about like memorials or
[7:25]
flag lighting where they're lighting up
[7:28]
the flag?
[7:29]
>> So, um if you could pull up the
[7:30]
ordinance, Kevin.
[7:32]
>> Um there is a a cutout for that.
[7:35]
>> Okay, great. Um,
[7:36]
>> my other question is I've had we got
[7:39]
we've heard a lot from citizens and
[7:40]
mostly they're excited for this. Like
[7:43]
they think it's long overdue and they
[7:46]
really hate a lot of the bright jelly
[7:49]
type things. So I've had a couple
[7:51]
citizens though also email that have the
[7:54]
jelly lights and love them and are very
[7:55]
concerned about the safety of them. So
[7:58]
um and I asked them if their jelly
[8:01]
lights cuz there seems to be a huge
[8:03]
difference in the brightness
[8:04]
>> Yeah. There's a wide variety.
[8:06]
>> There's a wide variety, but specifically
[8:08]
the jelly light people I talked to said
[8:11]
there is no ability to change the
[8:13]
brightness. Do you think that's an
[8:15]
install feature? Like when they buy it,
[8:17]
are they picking their brightness or is
[8:19]
one brand just one thing and another
[8:20]
brand's another thing? You know what I
[8:22]
mean?
[8:22]
>> Um, that's something I could look into
[8:24]
between now and the night meeting if
[8:25]
you'd like and and get some more
[8:27]
clarification on that.
[8:28]
>> Like, you know, you know the jelly
[8:30]
lights. It's like it's like year round
[8:32]
holiday lighting that people put around
[8:34]
their house.
[8:36]
>> Yeah.
[8:37]
>> Some of them are like very dim and not
[8:39]
very noticeable. Some of them are like
[8:41]
>> they look like C9 bulbs, but they can
[8:46]
control the colors. They can control I
[8:47]
don't know.
[8:48]
>> Yeah. Like some flash and they're like
[8:50]
flashing on
[8:51]
>> the permanent light.
[8:52]
>> Yeah, the permanent light. Yeah. Um I
[8:55]
thought I had one more question.
[8:58]
I think that's it. Becky,
[9:01]
I have a lot of concern about it. Um,
[9:06]
Halloween is getting to be a bigger and
[9:08]
bigger bigger holiday. And our house has
[9:10]
a lot of Halloween lights.
[9:12]
>> Becky has the best Halloween house in
[9:14]
the city.
[9:15]
>> That's true.
[9:18]
>> And I haven't had any issues with the
[9:20]
neighbors. We do shut ours off at 10:00,
[9:23]
10:30. We are considerate. The neighbor
[9:25]
across the street, he absolutely loves
[9:27]
it. Sends his grandkids over.
[9:29]
Becky, we need to work out parking. You
[9:32]
your vehicle used to go in my driveway
[9:34]
or over here or something because we
[9:35]
have lots of people coming, you know,
[9:37]
and he's out there on the he's out there
[9:39]
on the porch handing out Halloween candy
[9:41]
and and ours goes for a month and you
[9:43]
can't tell me that we're the only ones
[9:45]
that have that. So, I do have a concern.
[9:50]
>> I'm the only one in the the city that
[9:51]
has. It's not true. We do have some on
[9:55]
the west side that have some pretty big
[9:57]
Halloween
[9:59]
go through and you got your spook alley.
[10:01]
There's there's quite a few. Um, and
[10:04]
it's getting to be a bigger and bigger holiday. So, I do take issue with
[10:09]
and even with the jelly lighting, every
[10:12]
holiday is a holiday. Every holiday has
[10:14]
lights. You can even go to even the
[10:16]
Walmart and you can pick up inflatables
[10:18]
and things for the different holidays.
[10:21]
So, to me, it would be more of a if you
[10:24]
have the bright lights and if you have
[10:26]
the
[10:28]
Christmas vacation lighthouse and maybe
[10:30]
you need to turn it off at like 10
[10:33]
10:30, you know, have a cut off date.
[10:36]
>> That's interesting.
[10:37]
>> Um, have it open because, you know,
[10:39]
there's some people that leave them on
[10:40]
all night long.
[10:41]
>> Yeah.
[10:42]
>> You know, if you're going to go big and
[10:44]
bold and go home, then maybe you need to
[10:46]
shut it off. But
[10:48]
>> at 10:30 at night, which is what we do.
[10:51]
In the research I've conducted, most of
[10:53]
the cities that have a curfew for lights
[10:55]
like that is 10 pm.
[10:56]
>> So I've seen
[10:57]
>> like our sound ordinance that would make
[10:59]
it easy. So
[11:00]
>> yeah,
[11:00]
>> and um
[11:02]
>> I I do have concern for those people
[11:04]
that have jelly lights because it is fun
[11:05]
to drive through Fourth of July and you
[11:07]
see the red, white, and blue flashing.
[11:09]
It is fun to see whatever colors that
[11:12]
they have going on. The other thing I
[11:14]
have concern about is the flood lights
[11:15]
for the backyard. Um I have those.
[11:18]
Travis Amenity had those. So I you can't
[11:21]
tell us we're the only ones that light
[11:22]
up the backyard.
[11:23]
>> Those would be loud still. And because
[11:25]
he mentioned even once it burns out, you
[11:27]
could replace the light bulb.
[11:29]
>> Even so, I would like to replace that as
[11:32]
it dies. I mean, my house is gone on 50
[11:35]
years old.
[11:36]
>> Just because, you know, kids play in the
[11:38]
backyard. But again, I think it needs to
[11:40]
have a cut off time because, you know,
[11:42]
kids do have they play in the backyard
[11:45]
at night. They just do. You do things in
[11:48]
the backyard at night.
[11:49]
>> That's true. You have swim parties in
[11:51]
the backyard at night, trampoline
[11:52]
parties in the summer at night. There's
[11:55]
a reason why people have that flood
[11:56]
lighting that illuminates their
[11:58]
backyard.
[12:00]
And we are to the point now where when
[12:02]
we first moved in, we were just like
[12:05]
struck with all the light that comes
[12:06]
from the street light, but I've gotten
[12:08]
those blackout curtains. So, there are
[12:10]
things that do dim it within the house.
[12:14]
So, those are just my concerns and I
[12:16]
would like to see some of that changed
[12:17]
and accommodated for.
[12:19]
So, at the very least, Becky, should um
[12:22]
it be ch the exception be changed to
[12:24]
October instead of November to January
[12:27]
if it were changed to October to
[12:29]
January?
[12:30]
>> I would be immenable for that. Usually
[12:32]
our our stuff goes up October 1st
[12:35]
>> and it's a big deal. October 1st to the
[12:38]
end of October and then it comes down
[12:40]
and then we have a big Christmas
[12:42]
display. Yeah.
[12:44]
And again, I do the same thing. You
[12:46]
know, we turn it off at like 10 10:30
[12:48]
because we are
[12:51]
>> we are the chubby chase house.
[12:52]
>> Well, I think I think [laughter] I think
[12:54]
you make a really good point that would
[12:57]
take care of the jelly light issue too
[12:59]
that I mean one thing if you have just
[13:01]
cuz one woman emailed saying she has
[13:03]
them as like safety because her house
[13:04]
didn't have any lights on it. So, she
[13:06]
has them as security lights. You know,
[13:08]
one in every fourth one is on. It's not
[13:10]
that bright or something. But but the
[13:12]
ones that are zipping around the colors
[13:14]
all you know really bright would be but
[13:17]
I think I think a turnoff time would be
[13:18]
good and that's something you can easily
[13:20]
do on their permanent lighting right
[13:21]
because it's all by it's all controlled
[13:23]
by like an app I think.
[13:25]
>> Yeah they're scheduled is my
[13:26]
understanding.
[13:27]
>> Yeah.
[13:28]
[clears throat]
[13:30]
>> Okay. Um I did want to speak to Becky's
[13:32]
concern about flood lights. Um, there
[13:34]
are flood lights that are fully shielded
[13:36]
but still kind of point downward where
[13:38]
you can still see all of your yard. So,
[13:42]
um, I can show you some specs for those
[13:44]
if you'd like.
[13:45]
>> Maybe I have them. I don't know. I don't
[13:46]
know.
[13:47]
>> But they do exist. So, there are flood
[13:49]
lights kind of like with the intent of
[13:52]
illuminating a backyard that exists that
[13:54]
would meet these changes.
[13:56]
>> Flood lights is an interesting one
[13:58]
because it I totally [clears throat]
[13:59]
agree with almost everything you said.
[14:01]
It does go both ways though because
[14:03]
there are examples of flood lights that
[14:04]
are extraordinarily bright and like go
[14:06]
into people's windows and are quite
[14:08]
obnoxious when people are trying to
[14:10]
sleep. So
[14:12]
shielding to me seems like a reasonable
[14:14]
compromise and then everyone would be
[14:15]
grandfathered. But I there's trade-offs
[14:18]
for sure. I don't that's this is of the
[14:20]
whole things in this ordinance. This is
[14:21]
probably one of the things I care less
[14:23]
about. So I'm super open to compromise
[14:26]
or cutting something else for most
[14:28]
people.
[14:29]
There's an exemption for sports lights,
[14:31]
right?
[14:32]
>> Yep.
[14:33]
>> And churches and
[14:35]
>> churches, temples like buildings,
[14:38]
churches.
[14:39]
>> Did you scroll down to the exemption?
[14:40]
>> While you're up there, Patricio,
[14:42]
>> I've had a couple emails about our city,
[14:45]
but our city lights, but currently our
[14:47]
city lights are dark sky like correct
[14:51]
ones have been put in the last couple
[14:53]
years.
[14:53]
>> That's correct. So the item that we're
[14:56]
using at the moment is in compliance to
[14:57]
the dark sky which is the 3000k.
[15:00]
However, the the one that we inherited
[15:03]
or that they haven't gone bad still
[15:06]
>> okay they're I mean they're yellow so
[15:10]
people still kind of like those
[15:13]
>> but they are brighter.
[15:15]
>> They they just don't have the focal the
[15:17]
focal point going down.
[15:20]
>> And what about those new ones we have?
[15:23]
Did you say they're changeable? Like
[15:26]
they're recommended?
[15:27]
>> Yes. Um they are changeable. However, we
[15:30]
do not change them because they already
[15:32]
in compliance with the dark sky and we
[15:35]
don't want to change it because there is
[15:37]
also a different standard. There is the
[15:39]
dark sky standards and there is also the
[15:41]
safety standard and we want to make sure
[15:43]
we find the balance between the two. The
[15:45]
moment that we reduce the amount of
[15:47]
watts, then we might create patterns
[15:49]
where there is direct spots and then
[15:51]
it's not safe. Okay, awesome. Thank you.
[15:56]
>> I have another question for Patricia.
[15:58]
Patriceio, what is the current um
[16:00]
lifespan of the um the older lights? In
[16:04]
other words, in how many years would we
[16:06]
expect that all the street lights would
[16:08]
be changed out to the new
[16:11]
um dark sky complaint fixtures?
[16:13]
>> We don't really know.
[16:15]
>> Okay.
[16:17]
>> Yeah, it's hard to tell.
[16:19]
>> Okay.
[16:21]
Just
[16:22]
>> I think that's and that was one of the
[16:24]
as as as we did the research
[16:27]
we are about 40%
[16:30]
with the new lights we are in which are
[16:33]
in compliance you know with the new
[16:35]
standard um
[16:38]
but as they get done and this has been a
[16:40]
period probably 10 years that we have
[16:42]
been doing this so we could guess but it
[16:45]
would be all like guess work it wouldn't
[16:47]
be
[16:48]
>> kind of like our pipes.
[16:50]
Yeah,
[16:53]
[laughter]
[16:55]
» I would guess in the next hundred years
[16:57]
you're going to be good.
[16:59]
[laughter]
[17:01]
» Oh, go ahead, Travis.
[17:04]
>> I just wanted some clarity. So, if I'm
[17:06]
understanding this correctly, then
[17:08]
somebody that were to put in jelly
[17:10]
lights after we enact this would then
[17:13]
not be able to have red, white, and blue
[17:16]
on Fourth of July. I I guess I just want
[17:18]
to really understand the implications
[17:21]
for something like jelly lights.
[17:24]
Another thing I wanted to bring up is
[17:26]
there are holidays like Ramadan that
[17:28]
don't fall between November and January.
[17:30]
I think we might be creating potentially
[17:34]
something problematic for ourselves if
[17:36]
we only accommodate the holidays that
[17:38]
fall between November and January. So
[17:41]
just some thoughts there. But but yeah,
[17:43]
clarity on the on the jelly lights would
[17:45]
be useful for me. Thanks.
[17:48]
>> Um, based on how I interpret the code
[17:50]
and Brian can maybe speak to this. Um,
[17:53]
that this is what's currently in our
[17:55]
this is anything in black is no proposed
[17:57]
change. That's what's currently in our
[17:58]
code and jelly lights would not be
[18:01]
allowed to be illuminated during but if
[18:03]
they weren't during those months as far
[18:04]
as I understand.
[18:06]
>> Okay.
[18:07]
>> So, I'm happy to propose a change
[18:11]
>> have one of you make a motion to do so.
[18:13]
The alternative approach would be what
[18:16]
councelor Bogdan suggestion of just
[18:17]
having a sort of a bright light curfew
[18:20]
of sorts. That would be another
[18:22]
potential.
[18:24]
>> Yeah, I can definitely get behind that
[18:26]
for any time of year, frankly. Um, so I could be supportive of that. I guess I
[18:31]
just I like when I see, you know,
[18:33]
they're they're green for a Provo High
[18:34]
game or they're blue for a BYU game or,
[18:37]
you know, holiday Fourth of July. I I
[18:40]
don't have an issue with that
[18:41]
personally. I guess maybe if the others
[18:44]
do, I can I can appreciate that. But I I
[18:47]
personally would want people to be able
[18:49]
to have jelly lights throughout the
[18:50]
year. Um but maybe there is some sort of
[18:55]
I don't know if it's a brightness
[18:56]
standard or I I definitely can get
[18:57]
behind the timing standard of it.
[18:59]
Thanks.
[19:00]
>> Isn't there Aren't they also under the
[19:02]
eaves where they aren't like they're not
[19:05]
shooting up any
[19:06]
>> right? Was that considered shielded?
[19:08]
>> Um okay.
[19:10]
>> Yes. in the fixture, but it's just based
[19:12]
on where it's installed.
[19:14]
>> Yeah,
[19:15]
>> I I believe that that would be
[19:16]
considered.
[19:17]
>> Okay, that makes sense then. Yeah,
[19:19]
you're right. Thanks, Katrice. That
[19:21]
makes sense.
[19:22]
>> I think the more I like the 10:00
[19:24]
though, a lot.
[19:26]
>> Yeah, the only thing that might not be
[19:27]
in compliance if jelly lights are around
[19:29]
year round is the color temperature at
[19:30]
that point. If it's a bright green light
[19:32]
for St. Patrick's Day or something like
[19:33]
that. Um, but the shielding would would
[19:36]
be adequate with if it's within. If we
[19:38]
do the time, then that would help with
[19:40]
all those
[19:41]
>> decorations, too.
[19:48]
» And you're suggesting then 10:00 10 p.m.
[19:52]
>> It just seems like that what we do with
[19:53]
the sound, it seems like it'd be good to
[19:54]
keep them aligned.
[19:55]
>> Yeah. So maybe um exemption number one
[19:59]
could read holiday lighting period
[20:03]
and then with another sentence all
[20:06]
holiday lighting must be turned off at
[20:08]
10 p.m. Something like that
[20:10]
>> that doesn't follow that
[20:12]
>> outside of the Christmas schedule.
[20:14]
>> Well, outside of the dark sky.
[20:17]
>> Yes. anything outside of dark sky comp
[20:20]
because like you said if you had
[20:23]
>> the warm brown orange yellow tone for
[20:27]
fall
[20:28]
>> if that's compliant that could be on all
[20:30]
night long but if it's not if it's not
[20:34]
if it's the blue tones the blues and the
[20:37]
greens does that get too complicated
[20:39]
>> yeah
[20:42]
this is my personal opinion but I'd
[20:43]
recommend if if that is the route that
[20:46]
you want to go that we allow holiday ing
[20:47]
during any month of the year just to
[20:49]
keep it simple.
[20:50]
>> Yeah,
[20:51]
>> that's just my opinion as the intern
[20:55]
were thinking year round but have that
[20:57]
10:00 mortorium.
[20:58]
>> Okay. Um would anyone like to make a
[21:01]
motion to do that?
[21:04]
>> It didn't look like he was making a
[21:05]
motion.
[21:07]
So, I'll make a motion that exemption
[21:09]
number one read uh holiday lighting uh
[21:13]
during any month of the year
[21:16]
and that [clears throat]
[21:19]
with with the time
[21:20]
>> 10:00
[21:21]
>> and with the and and then another
[21:23]
sentence all holiday item should be
[21:26]
turned off by 10 p.m.
[21:28]
>> Okay.
[21:28]
>> And that this continue on our agenda for
[21:31]
tonight.
[21:32]
>> Okay.
[21:32]
>> With that edit.
[21:33]
>> Perfect.
[21:35]
>> Yeah. All right. Let's second that.
[21:37]
>> Okay, we have a second with Craig. Any
[21:39]
discussion on the motion?
[21:41]
>> I'm curious if that resolves your
[21:43]
concerns, Becky.
[21:46]
>> Like I said, my lights are usually up at
[21:47]
10 anyway.
[21:49]
I 10 10:30 if I'm
[21:54]
respectful.
[21:55]
>> Yeah. What were you going to say,
[21:56]
Rachel?
[21:57]
>> Yeah. So, it's it's interesting because
[21:59]
a lot of the holiday lighting may not be
[22:01]
in a violation of clear skies thing
[22:04]
anyway, but if people are doing flood
[22:06]
lights on features in their yard or
[22:08]
something like that, that would be. So,
[22:09]
it would make sense to put those on a
[22:11]
timer. Um,
[22:14]
another thing that we're we're not
[22:15]
necessarily addressing, but I think is
[22:17]
kind of fun is the stadium has
[22:21]
extraordinarily bright lights. And I
[22:25]
regularly hike the Y at 5:30 in the
[22:28]
morning. Most of the year it's dark at
[22:30]
that point in time. And there have been
[22:31]
times when I'm hiking and suddenly
[22:33]
there's a brightness because they have
[22:35]
turned on the stadium lights.
[22:37]
>> Why?
[22:37]
>> I don't know why. They're like, I don't
[22:39]
know, maybe a practice or something, but
[22:41]
that light from the stadium like hits us
[22:45]
up there. And so there is really good
[22:48]
reason for these dark sky ordinances,
[22:51]
right? Like if we can direct that light
[22:54]
down.
[22:54]
>> Oh, yeah. They're exempt. But it
[22:56]
[laughter]
[22:57]
in general it it makes sense because we
[23:00]
have so much light pollution ambient
[23:03]
light from the lights in our city that I
[23:06]
never need a headlight when I hike the Y
[23:09]
in full dark.
[23:10]
>> There's just that much light.
[23:12]
>> And so if we can gradually cut that
[23:15]
down, I think it would be really useful.
[23:16]
So I'm I'm really happy that we're we're
[23:18]
addressing this. Um I have one more
[23:21]
question. What about you know security
[23:24]
lights that are crazy bright? like if
[23:25]
motion detector type lights, what does
[23:27]
that fall in?
[23:28]
>> Um, I believe that is also mentioned in
[23:30]
the code. If you scroll down a bit,
[23:32]
Kevin,
[23:38]
» um,
[23:39]
>> and security lights shielded and still
[23:42]
brightly shine on the areas.
[23:44]
>> Yeah. So, this is the section on
[23:46]
security lighting um
[23:49]
that has it's it's not in the exemption
[23:51]
section, but it kind of exempts itself
[23:53]
from some of the other standards.
[23:55]
>> We didn't even change any of that. Just
[23:56]
took some stuff out.
[23:57]
>> Yes.
[23:58]
>> Because the the point isn't that you're
[24:00]
dimming that light that's in the area
[24:02]
that needs to be seen or filmed. It's
[24:05]
that you're stopping light from escaping
[24:07]
upwards.
[24:08]
>> Yeah.
[24:09]
>> And and outwards. So, having that more
[24:11]
directed light is really useful. It's a more efficient use of your light.
[24:16]
>> Okay. Anyone anything else?
[24:19]
>> Right. Thanks, Britain.
[24:20]
>> Okay. Awesome. Thank you.
[24:23]
>> Oh, we need to vote on the
[24:24]
>> Oh, yeah. Sorry.
[24:25]
>> All right. Councelor Whipple,
[24:26]
>> yes. Councelor Bogdan,
[24:28]
>> yes. Councelor Whitlock,
[24:30]
>> yes.
[24:30]
>> Councelor McKay, yes. Councelor
[24:32]
Christensen,
[24:32]
>> yes.
[24:33]
>> And councelor Garrett,
[24:34]
>> yes.
[24:34]
>> And councelor Hoben,
[24:36]
>> yes.
[24:37]
>> All right. So, that passes 70.
[24:40]
All right. Next, we have a discussion
[24:41]
regarding a request from Taylor Terrace
[24:43]
Homeowners Association for city
[24:45]
acceptance, infrastructure upgrades, and
[24:47]
financial assistance for its private
[24:49]
water system. This will be presented by
[24:51]
Lane Pierce, our water resources
[24:53]
engineer, and Mark Doyle from Taylor
[24:56]
Terrace HOA.
[24:59]
» We have Lane Pierce first.
[25:01]
>> Lane, thank you. Um, so I just have a
[25:04]
quick
[25:06]
slideshow that I'll go through. The
[25:08]
council last time I was here two weeks
[25:09]
ago asked a couple questions. So, the
[25:12]
two questions, the slides that I'll go
[25:14]
through kind of answer the questions.
[25:17]
There we go. Um, this is the city code
[25:20]
we kind of went over last time. Let's
[25:23]
see. Is this the is this the
[25:27]
slide show I sent to you?
[25:28]
>> This is the slides that were submitted
[25:30]
on topics.
[25:31]
>> Okay. Then I submitted the wrong ones to
[25:34]
be honest with you because what what we
[25:36]
had was a bunch of examples because the
[25:39]
city asked two questions. They asked for
[25:41]
examples of other places that we did
[25:44]
this.
[25:44]
>> We did see that. Keep going through
[25:47]
Kevin. See if it's further down.
[25:50]
>> Yeah, it's at the end.
[25:51]
>> I think this is last.
[25:54]
>> Yeah, this is last time.
[25:55]
>> All right. See, go back to on base and
[25:56]
find it Kevin.
[25:57]
>> Good. Thank you, council. So, it's there
[25:59]
somewhere. You saw it.
[26:00]
>> We have seen it. Yeah, it's the request
[26:03]
part two PDF.
[26:05]
>> Yeah.
[26:09]
>> But how? There were a bunch of them.
[26:10]
>> Yeah, there were a bunch of
[26:11]
>> all of them or
[26:12]
>> No, there there I would say there's
[26:14]
dozens. There's probably We didn't
[26:15]
count, but there's probably 30 40ish of
[26:18]
unique privately owned streets. And I I
[26:20]
have like five or six. And I'll go
[26:22]
through them quick. I'm not going to be
[26:23]
labor, but it'll just kind of give you a
[26:24]
flavor of what's out there of these
[26:26]
privately owned kind of Taylor Terrace
[26:28]
type slides.
[26:31]
But that there are a bunch
[26:36]
» is the one.
[26:38]
>> But maybe they're the largest included.
[26:41]
Maybe those are the largest.
[26:43]
>> Um some of one of them I'd say the
[26:45]
colony one's one of the larger ones. If
[26:47]
you saw that one just off nights where a
[26:49]
bunch of BYU students live, you saw that
[26:50]
in your packet. And then there's two of
[26:52]
them in there. Um the Grand Terrace one.
[26:56]
Yeah, this is the slideshow.
[26:58]
They they they keep coming to our
[27:00]
office. They want us to take over their system, too.
[27:04]
>> Okay. Thank you. So, here's the two
[27:05]
questions we kind of you asked, "What
[27:07]
did Provo City do for Quell Valley?" And
[27:09]
then other examples of the private
[27:11]
lines. So, what we did for Quell Valley,
[27:13]
just a quick history, remember the
[27:15]
temple, [clears throat] the church
[27:17]
wanted to get rid of the street. They
[27:19]
paid us $150,000, $175,000 for it. We
[27:23]
needed to buy property here to kind of
[27:25]
shore up our station and our make it
[27:28]
good square property lines. So we bought
[27:30]
property back from the church for
[27:31]
$120,000 and then we had the excess of
[27:34]
$50,000 and we applied that to Quelley.
[27:38]
So we did give Quel Valley $50,000 but
[27:41]
part of that is we kind of had cash on
[27:43]
hand you could say you know what I mean
[27:45]
instead of taking it out of the budget
[27:47]
but that's what we did for Quill Valley.
[27:49]
>> There's the resolution. Didn't the Quail
[27:51]
Valley One also give us access to some
[27:55]
fire hydrants that were private?
[27:57]
>> Yeah, we did take over their their
[27:59]
hydrants also. So, we took over they had
[28:03]
to do a bunch of upgrades, right?
[28:05]
>> Was considered a huge asset as far as
[28:07]
fire prevention and firefighting if
[28:09]
something happened in the foothill.
[28:10]
>> Yeah, you could say that we did take
[28:13]
over their whole system. The fire
[28:14]
heights were part of it.
[28:16]
Um
[28:18]
so then here's the examples of other um
[28:22]
privately owned utilities in in streets.
[28:25]
So this is this temple right here, the
[28:27]
Rock Canyon Temple. This is just called
[28:29]
Cambridge Core. I highlight them all
[28:30]
yellow kind of work private what's not
[28:32]
private. That's just an example. Three
[28:34]
fountains. These guys have come in also.
[28:36]
They want us to take over their system.
[28:38]
This is this is uh University Canyon
[28:41]
Road and that's you know the yellow is
[28:44]
kind of where the water lines are. This
[28:46]
is Grand View Manor. Like I said,
[28:48]
they've come in to talk to us and want
[28:50]
us to take over their system because
[28:51]
they have leaks and problems and such.
[28:53]
You know what I mean? Same same ideas.
[28:55]
This is the colony 9 east is right over
[28:57]
here. U students, you know, they have
[29:00]
leaks and just different examples. This
[29:03]
is one. This is the old Provo old Provo
[29:05]
High School um track. just a couple
[29:08]
businesses are on it and then the
[29:10]
departments are on this private line.
[29:11]
>> That's interesting. Why is that one
[29:13]
private? Like that's a weird mix.
[29:14]
>> Yeah, I I would say because a lot of
[29:17]
these are private streets like that. You
[29:18]
know, these aren't citymained streets.
[29:20]
So, a lot of times the private lines
[29:22]
follow the private streets.
[29:23]
>> So, is that whole thing owned by one
[29:25]
person then?
[29:26]
>> I don't know. This is and correct me if
[29:29]
I'm wrong Gordon and Ryan, but this is
[29:30]
owned by like businesses and then this
[29:32]
is owned by like apartment complex. If
[29:34]
we turned on parcels, it is not one big
[29:36]
>> Oh, okay. There's not one big
[29:38]
>> that's owner.
[29:40]
>> This is one I found just over by by
[29:42]
Center Street. This is a Center Street
[29:44]
exit,
[29:45]
you know. And this this one's tricky. It
[29:47]
goes across it looks like under the pool
[29:49]
and across the yards and stuff.
[29:52]
And then this one's behind Lake View
[29:54]
Elementary. So part of it is to show
[29:57]
that, you know, maybe maybe we're not
[30:00]
setting a precedent today because
[30:01]
they're so unique. Each one seems to be
[30:02]
a little bit unique and a little bit
[30:05]
you know different than the the other
[30:07]
one. So those are just a few examples
[30:09]
and like you said I probably we probably
[30:11]
have 30 40 I didn't count how many we
[30:13]
have out there. This is what we proposed
[30:15]
right talking to the HOA marks here from
[30:18]
the HOA the HOA president. We think the
[30:21]
best idea is to follow our standard get
[30:22]
the water meters in the park strip and
[30:25]
then and then they can take their
[30:27]
laterals to their homes in the city. We
[30:30]
we've been talking I've talked to Gordon
[30:31]
and Mark and the city's okay if you the
[30:34]
council decides that we should perform
[30:36]
the work from in our rideway from the
[30:41]
meter from the meter to the cans and
[30:45]
then the HOA would
[30:48]
take the cost of the can to the house
[30:53]
and we did I didn't get it in time cuz
[30:55]
we had to do a quick turnaround. I did
[30:58]
get a cost estimate and the cost
[30:59]
estimate was roughly for the city and we would do it with our team, our
[31:04]
crews. We wouldn't pay to do it right.
[31:06]
The cost estimate though from the
[31:07]
contractor was like 60,000 for us and
[31:10]
their portion was like 74 75ish,000.
[31:13]
So if you're looking at kind of
[31:15]
percentage wise, what is that 6040 or
[31:17]
something? 40 for us, 60 for them.
[31:21]
>> So would you be doing their work and
[31:23]
they pay you back or would they be
[31:24]
contract? That would all be them. Yeah,
[31:26]
they would contract themselves to do
[31:28]
this. Our city crews would come out.
[31:29]
They know how to set cans and they would
[31:31]
do all the labor. We'd have to buy
[31:33]
parts, but we would do all the labor
[31:34]
ourselves. Our city crews would do all
[31:36]
the labor ourselves.
[31:38]
>> And are those things that you would do
[31:39]
are they used by anyone else? Are they are they used as the city or
[31:47]
through other
[31:48]
>> Yeah, like everyone uses them if that
[31:50]
like we all have cans and meters. Is
[31:52]
that what you're asking, Patrice? All
[31:54]
they're parts that we do have, but we
[31:55]
still order a lot of them because we
[31:57]
have every house should have a other
[31:59]
department have a can and a meter in
[32:01]
your front yard and so that's the kind
[32:03]
is that
[32:03]
>> I'm sorry. No, I guess my question is is
[32:05]
that totally private infrastructure like
[32:07]
no one else uses it but them or is it
[32:09]
used in our whole system? Is it part of
[32:11]
a bigger system?
[32:12]
>> It we own to the can. So we would own
[32:14]
the infrastructure we're doing. So
[32:15]
>> every meter and so every meter in the
[32:17]
city we own and the can. Yeah.
[32:20]
>> So it's public.
[32:20]
>> Can you guys have heard that?
[32:22]
>> Can that round thing if you open your
[32:25]
lid there's like it looks it's just an
[32:27]
empty and your meter's in there. Looks
[32:29]
like a [clears throat] pipe stuck in the
[32:30]
ground. A pit. It's like a pit where you
[32:31]
can work on things. There's not dirt.
[32:32]
>> Has a metal.
[32:34]
>> Yeah.
[32:35]
>> Okay. So we would do
[32:38]
these red circles.
[32:39]
>> Yeah. We do to the red circles including
[32:41]
the red circles. And we would put in the
[32:43]
meters.
[32:44]
>> Yes.
[32:44]
>> Which is great because then they're
[32:46]
done, right? And then they would they
[32:48]
would have be responsible here.
[32:50]
>> Yep. To the house
[32:51]
>> to all the
[32:51]
>> So they'd have to fix the sidewalk,
[32:53]
right? Because they're going to tear up
[32:54]
the sidewalk. They'd have to fix all the asphalt and, you know, they have to
[32:59]
connect to the houses, dig up the yard
[33:00]
if they have to, wherever it connects,
[33:02]
they would have to do all that.
[33:05]
>> From the city's perspective,
[33:08]
does this help you guys? Is this a
[33:09]
benefit to have them set up
[33:11]
traditionally as we do them?
[33:12]
>> Yeah, it is a benefit to have everything
[33:14]
traditional. It's cuz if it break if it
[33:16]
happens again, just like in your own
[33:18]
personal house, if it breaks here, we
[33:20]
guarantee it's them. They have to fix
[33:22]
it. No, our code says we own to the can,
[33:25]
right? So, it's it's a benefit, Gordon.
[33:28]
>> And the other part of that is if there's
[33:30]
a leak, we're charging them for the
[33:31]
water of that plate because right now we
[33:33]
have water going into the system that no
[33:36]
one's paying for.
[33:37]
>> Yeah. because their meters are up here
[33:39]
and the leaks here, right? Are here then
[33:43]
>> were we able to get us any estimate on
[33:45]
what how much water that is like even
[33:47]
order magnitude ballpark?
[33:49]
>> We haven't looked at that.
[33:50]
>> Yeah, I haven't looked at it to be
[33:52]
honest with you.
[33:53]
>> Is it like substantial or minuscule?
[33:55]
That's just kind of
[33:58]
>> Is it like someone's leaving their hose
[33:59]
on all day or
[34:00]
>> It's We
[34:03]
flashes on the toilet. We don't want to
[34:05]
lose any water through leaks and we have
[34:07]
a ton of leaks all over the city, but in
[34:10]
the scope of how much water we produce,
[34:12]
how much we sell, it's not a lot, but
[34:15]
the issue is not that just we have
[34:17]
leaks. It's probably going to create
[34:19]
some damage and some problems. We just
[34:21]
don't like water not going where we want
[34:24]
it to go. So, there's a lot of issues
[34:26]
with the water. Is it time
[34:30]
these guys dealing hundreds of millions
[34:32]
of gallons? So, no.
[34:34]
Not when you compare it to that.
[34:38]
>> It's awkward for punishment.
[34:40]
>> Yeah, that that's all I have. I can stay
[34:42]
up here and answer questions, but that's
[34:43]
all I have.
[34:44]
>> Okay, we have a question from Gary
[34:45]
Garrett.
[34:46]
>> Yes. Link, you said that um so far two
[34:51]
other developments, Grand View Manor and
[34:53]
Three Fountains, have approached you
[34:55]
about possibly taking over their water
[34:57]
system.
[34:57]
>> They have approached us. They they
[34:58]
approached not me, but my colleague
[35:00]
Shane, but yeah. So based on what you've
[35:02]
proposed for this terrace, would that be
[35:05]
a sustainable approach for these other
[35:07]
developments?
[35:08]
>> Well,
[35:09]
>> in terms of cost and budgeting,
[35:11]
>> and Ryan's here, he he knows maybe
[35:14]
better, but I'll I'll speak. Ryan,
[35:15]
correct me if I'm wrong, but what
[35:19]
we don't know, we haven't discussed
[35:20]
taking it over too much, but what would
[35:22]
probably happen is we might end up
[35:24]
taking this main line for Grand View
[35:27]
Terrace. I I don't know, Ryan. What's
[35:29]
your
[35:30]
>> In in this case, the main roadway
[35:33]
through this area is platted as a public
[35:36]
street.
[35:36]
>> Okay.
[35:37]
>> So, most likely we'll take over the
[35:39]
water line and the sewer line in the
[35:41]
public street as a public utility.
[35:43]
>> Okay.
[35:44]
>> And then they would be responsible for
[35:45]
everything behind the meters like we we
[35:48]
typically do in in all cases.
[35:50]
>> And on three fountains, I don't know.
[35:52]
Same idea kind of R. I don't know what
[35:55]
we do. I don't think we thought about it
[35:57]
much or
[35:59]
>> Yeah, we haven't looked into this one
[36:00]
quite as much as we had view.
[36:02]
>> It's a good question. But
[36:04]
>> and [clears throat] then Lane, did I
[36:05]
also read that um
[36:09]
with the current code, these kinds of
[36:12]
private water systems are no longer
[36:14]
allowed in developments or are these
[36:17]
perpetuating?
[36:19]
>> We don't allow. We do. Sometimes they
[36:22]
propose something like this and we have
[36:24]
to get an agreement a what is it called?
[36:26]
Utility agreement private utility
[36:29]
agreement
[36:30]
>> and then we use that going forward and
[36:34]
say hey here's our agreement you agreed
[36:36]
to this that if it breaks or something
[36:38]
we're not helping you here. So we don't like it but when it comes push
[36:42]
comes to and helps someone out to
[36:44]
develop we get a private utility
[36:45]
agreement.
[36:47]
>> Is Buckley Draw proposed to be private?
[36:51]
I don't think so. No,
[36:52]
>> I don't believe so. So, I I think I
[36:54]
think the other thing you see is and I
[36:57]
could be wrong, but I haven't seen any
[36:59]
of these come through that are private
[37:02]
except they're one property owner. So,
[37:04]
in other words, we see it for multif
[37:06]
family where it's only one owner.
[37:08]
>> Sure.
[37:09]
>> Like apartments. I I haven't really seen
[37:11]
it in the town homes or any of the
[37:13]
others. Yeah.
[37:14]
>> So, I haven't seen [clears throat]
[37:16]
>> more like a flag lot. A home.
[37:17]
>> Yeah. Flag lot.
[37:18]
>> Yeah. not have lots yet and they have a
[37:20]
pretty good system. So, so the kind of
[37:23]
things you're seeing here are not
[37:25]
getting approved and no one's doing this
[37:27]
kind of stuff.
[37:29]
>> So, we are not perpetuating this
[37:31]
problem. I haven't seen anything that
[37:35]
council
[37:37]
>> back on the ground view one the others
[37:39]
if we take it over they're going to have
[37:41]
to be responsible for getting everything
[37:44]
up to code before we take it over.
[37:46]
Correct. Yeah,
[37:47]
>> that's what we propose, right? Just like
[37:49]
Quill Valley. I'm looking at Gordon and
[37:51]
Ryan, but I believe that's what we would
[37:53]
>> propose. Correct, Ryan and Gordon.
[37:55]
>> That's what we would that's what we'd
[37:57]
like to see. Um I I don't know that
[38:00]
we're going to dig up every water man um
[38:03]
and and verify. We may do spot checks.
[38:06]
We would check the meters, fire
[38:07]
hydrants, things like that before we
[38:09]
take them home. But we're not going to
[38:11]
dig up all the buried infrastructure.
[38:14]
>> But that's good precedent we'd like to
[38:15]
set, right? to take if we take something
[38:17]
over needs to be to our standard.
[38:19]
>> Well, I thought that was what was in
[38:20]
code, but I was just concerned that the
[38:22]
city I mean we have enough of our own
[38:24]
pipe that we have to replace that we
[38:27]
own. We all know that we we're
[38:29]
responsible for that. They're
[38:30]
responsible for theirs. So, if we take
[38:32]
theirs over, they need to make sure that
[38:34]
it's up to par before we take it over.
[38:36]
Right.
[38:37]
>> That's correct.
[38:38]
>> Because we're not taking over any pipe
[38:39]
with this one we're looking at. Correct.
[38:41]
>> No, we're not. Yeah. We're actually
[38:43]
eliminating a problem pipe in the system
[38:46]
by by doing what we're recommending,
[38:48]
putting the meters out on the
[38:52]
>> All right. Do we want to do a motion to
[38:54]
move it? Go ahead, Jeff. Um my
[38:57]
[clears throat]
[38:58]
I guess my one question one of my
[39:00]
upshots from the meeting last time was
[39:03]
there's 20 to 30
[39:05]
similarly situated um situations
[39:10]
30 to 40 and um
[39:14]
we've we've seen a couple here which I
[39:15]
think is helpful. One of the things that
[39:17]
I felt like was one of the primary
[39:19]
things that we were interested in was
[39:21]
like what are the guiding principles or
[39:23]
a framework for how to handle these and
[39:26]
I'm kind of missing that still a little
[39:28]
bit like it seems like what I'm hearing
[39:29]
is sort of one-off basis or maybe there
[39:32]
is a guiding principle of like we'll
[39:33]
just take it to do the minimum we can to
[39:36]
take to connect it to the mainway just
[39:38]
like that that sort of articulation I
[39:40]
think would be helpful so that we're
[39:42]
seeing this as like a broader policy
[39:43]
discussion rather than like a one-off
[39:45]
you know we have to deal with this
[39:46]
situation. And then I just want to flag
[39:48]
that like, you know, if there's 30 to 40
[39:50]
and $100,000 each, you know, we're
[39:53]
talking3 to4 million of kind of like
[39:56]
liability on precedents we're setting
[39:58]
and so just want to make sure we're
[39:59]
comfortable with that.
[40:01]
>> Okay.
[40:02]
>> So, I don't know. Is there is there any
[40:03]
kind of like could you articulate like a
[40:05]
guy?
[40:06]
>> I can take I can take a shot. I would
[40:08]
say like like council person um Bogdan
[40:11]
said that you know if it's something
[40:14]
like this that they bring it up to our
[40:15]
standard like we did with Quail Valley
[40:17]
type thing and then um
[40:21]
try to do the work that the work that
[40:23]
we're doing keep it within our rideways
[40:25]
and stuff. I do think there'll still be
[40:28]
>> unique situations along the way also I
[40:31]
think it'll be difficult to set
[40:33]
>> parameters for everything but that's
[40:35]
what I'd say the initial parameters
[40:36]
would be. And I don't if Gordon or Ryan
[40:38]
want to weigh in on anything. Mark the
[40:41]
HOA president wants to say something. Is
[40:43]
that okay? I'm not in charge.
[40:46]
>> I think isn't the ordinance like from
[40:48]
the past couple years that Quail Valley
[40:50]
operated under, isn't that the framework
[40:53]
how these things are considered and and
[40:55]
addressed?
[40:56]
>> Yeah. Which is bring them up to
[40:58]
standard, right?
[40:59]
>> Yeah. So
[41:03]
» I don't know I don't know if that
[41:05]
answers all I would have
[41:07]
>> I mean I think the the caveat there is
[41:09]
it's bring them up to standard unless
[41:11]
you ask the c council to appropriate
[41:12]
money which this
[41:15]
>> which is what's happening here and
[41:17]
you're trying to say what is going to
[41:19]
what are the principles that are going
[41:20]
to guide the principal in answering that
[41:21]
question every time.
[41:22]
>> That's exactly what I and I felt like we
[41:24]
asked for last time.
[41:25]
>> Yeah.
[41:26]
>> Um
[41:27]
yeah because I again I know you're new
[41:30]
to the situation. I don't want to be
[41:31]
really tough here, but I'm just thinking
[41:32]
like,
[41:35]
so I I'm part of an HOA board and you
[41:37]
know, we collect our fees and we have a
[41:38]
reserve fund and you know, I think we
[41:41]
have a pretty good HOA board and like I
[41:43]
think we are very cognizant of the
[41:45]
various liabilities we take on. But the
[41:47]
second order effect here is it's like,
[41:49]
hey, you know, you underfund your
[41:50]
situation for a long time and then you
[41:52]
come to a city for an appropriation. I'm
[41:55]
not saying that's what you're doing. I
[41:55]
know you're
[41:56]
>> Well, it's not actually. Yeah.
[41:58]
>> Yeah.
[42:00]
We're we're not Yeah, we're not doing
[42:01]
what you just described. [snorts]
[42:03]
>> Okay.
[42:04]
>> So So I do I do think you bring up some
[42:07]
good points because there's 30 or 40 of
[42:09]
these or maybe even more. Um they're all
[42:13]
hitting an age
[42:16]
where we're starting to see that they
[42:17]
want to be taken over. Um and I think
[42:21]
some of them are shocked to find out
[42:22]
that they own these systems. And so I'm
[42:26]
not saying good or bad or justifying or
[42:28]
not justifying, but I do think the
[42:31]
council put that ordinance into place
[42:33]
about four years ago.
[42:36]
We're trying to think about how that
[42:38]
applies, not just for the city taking
[42:42]
them in, but also what the potential
[42:45]
cost would be in doing this. And and
[42:47]
it's it's all over the place because
[42:49]
we've seen some of these. We have a a a
[42:54]
mobile home park that is complete
[42:57]
disaster and it would be more than a
[43:00]
million dollars to fix just that place
[43:02]
and it's continue leaking and we have
[43:05]
others that are just
[43:07]
that we can continue the path we're
[43:10]
doing or we can look for a solution. The
[43:13]
path may be the right what we're doing
[43:14]
maybe the right thing
[43:16]
um if it goes to the meter first then
[43:19]
we're probably okay. But those are some
[43:21]
of the things that we're I'm not saying
[43:24]
good or bad. It's
[43:25]
>> not here.
[43:26]
>> So So these are so unique and each one
[43:29]
of these are so different that we we try
[43:32]
to look at a policy. Oh man, we don't
[43:34]
want to do that yet. And so we're just
[43:35]
waiting to see who comes in next and
[43:37]
we'll try to stay reasonable and not
[43:40]
break their bank as we deal with these
[43:42]
bits. People are going to start
[43:43]
demanding to do something. I don't know
[43:45]
what the right call is yet. We did this
[43:48]
would be number two. I suspect you'll
[43:50]
see these
[43:52]
every other year popping in
[43:53]
>> because because you're in and you're
[43:54]
feeling there's like a cohort of time
[43:56]
where this was a really common way of
[43:58]
doing things.
[43:58]
>> Yeah.
[43:59]
>> And that cohort is aging to the place
[44:01]
where this is going to be a common
[44:02]
problem.
[44:03]
>> Yeah.
[44:05]
>> So you guys will be able to make some
[44:07]
really
[44:09]
important decisions that will be very
[44:11]
clever.
[44:15]
» Um I just wanted to clarify. We're just
[44:17]
and this came up last time too. We're
[44:19]
not suggesting a city should cover a
[44:22]
penny of the normal cost that any of us
[44:25]
you I think you're on the phone last
[44:26]
time mentioned your sewer line like each
[44:28]
of us. Yeah. No fun. But um we're just
[44:33]
we're saying we the homeowners should
[44:36]
bear the cost like any of us would of a
[44:38]
water line from your house to the city
[44:40]
meter. But because of legacy
[44:43]
infrastructure problems from 50 years
[44:45]
ago that none of us were agreeing to
[44:47]
>> the city well I can't say wants to the
[44:51]
city could take the portion of bringing
[44:54]
the meters up to code.
[44:57]
So I just want to make sure that that's
[44:58]
clear. We're not asking the city to
[45:01]
cover any costs that any of us normally
[45:02]
have to run a repair water line out to
[45:04]
the street. So
[45:06]
>> thank you.
[45:09]
» Okay. Any other discussion? Councelor
[45:12]
Whipple.
[45:13]
>> Yeah. So, it sounds like for some of
[45:15]
these, if the plan would be to take over
[45:18]
those private utilities as a public one,
[45:20]
it looks like it's going along a roadway
[45:22]
and everything, we're not crossing
[45:24]
through a big HOA common area as we are
[45:28]
in this particular instance. So, just
[45:31]
the geography of these different
[45:32]
projects means they're situated
[45:34]
differently. Um, so I think some sort of
[45:38]
a a policy would need to take that into
[45:41]
account. Like how easy is it to shift it
[45:44]
over to be a public system? How much of
[45:46]
this um pipe needs to go through what
[45:50]
would still be HOA or common space? Is
[45:53]
that help define the the difference here
[45:57]
a little more?
[45:59]
I still don't know what the answer is.
[46:02]
>> Are private, so it's still all private.
[46:04]
>> Yeah.
[46:04]
I I I mean I how I'm seeing the
[46:06]
decision before us today, again, people
[46:08]
could see it differently, is not
[46:10]
>> should we spend $100,000 in this
[46:12]
particular place. It's should we commit
[46:14]
to doing $3 million of infrastructure
[46:16]
work for the city for everyone?
[46:19]
>> And because I think that's really
[46:20]
because I don't think we could then we
[46:21]
could say yes to one and say no to the
[46:23]
next
[46:24]
>> and and is that benefit for the city? Is
[46:26]
that I think that's the decision.
[46:27]
>> Yeah. And they I think they are each
[46:31]
individual.
[46:31]
>> Yeah. And they've suggested that the
[46:33]
only reason people would ask us to take
[46:35]
it over is because they are experiencing
[46:37]
some sort of failure.
[46:39]
>> Yeah. And then I think there's
[46:40]
externalities to that failure. I wish we
[46:42]
could quantify those a little better,
[46:43]
but there clearly are consequences and
[46:45]
risks
[46:46]
>> Yeah.
[46:46]
>> of leaking water underground.
[46:49]
>> Yeah.
[46:50]
And do we want to help pay to address
[46:54]
the failures of their system? And in
[46:57]
this one, we've got kind of cost sharing
[46:58]
thing. That does make sense more or less
[47:01]
in this case. But is that the that what
[47:05]
we want to always have to do?
[47:07]
>> Yeah. Well, a sinkhole. I mean, if that
[47:10]
say it's a sinkhole, we definitely don't
[47:12]
want that.
[47:13]
>> Exactly. If that's what I was trying to
[47:15]
get at because like it's a very obvious
[47:16]
decision if there's, you know, that kind
[47:18]
of risk,
[47:19]
>> right? And the sinkhole occurring on the
[47:21]
HOA property is different than a
[47:23]
sinkhole occurring on the safe street.
[47:25]
>> Yeah. Yeah. And if we take over a
[47:28]
ill-maintained system and we have
[47:31]
ownership of it and then all of a sudden
[47:32]
there's a sinkhole because it's been
[47:34]
leaking for years.
[47:36]
>> I don't want that liability. I think
[47:38]
that liability needs to be where Yeah.
[47:41]
within HOA.
[47:42]
>> Well, and water moves too. So even if
[47:44]
the leak is within the private property,
[47:46]
that doesn't necessarily mean that's
[47:47]
where the damage is going to occur,
[47:50]
which is the fun part of it.
[47:53]
All
[47:55]
right. Is this going to come up for a
[47:56]
vote?
[48:01]
» Why?
[48:01]
>> Well, I think only if the council makes
[48:03]
a motion to move it forward.
[48:07]
>> Move it forward to a council meeting.
[48:09]
This would have to come to a council
[48:10]
meeting or it can be resolved here.
[48:11]
>> So, so let me ask you if we're using our
[48:13]
forces and it's not allocating funds.
[48:19]
» Oh, how exactly.
[48:20]
>> I mean, I'm talking to to Brian right
[48:21]
now.
[48:23]
I'm having a sidebar. [laughter]
[48:25]
Not that I don't want to come back next
[48:27]
week, next time it should come, but I'm
[48:28]
just seeing
[48:31]
what if this is staff or if this is
[48:35]
generally speaking, the way the code is
[48:37]
written is that the if money needs to be
[48:41]
appropriated in order for the
[48:45]
property to be brought up to
[48:49]
uh to code, then they have to come to
[48:52]
council for the appropriation. If
[48:53]
there's no appropriation needed,
[48:56]
then it probably is not at that point a
[48:58]
count's decision.
[49:02]
» So, so right now, you know, we we got
[49:04]
the price, so you kind of get a relative
[49:06]
idea of what
[49:09]
manpower, [clears throat]
[49:10]
labor, and funding could be tribute to
[49:12]
it. Um, but we could do this with our
[49:16]
own We're right now intending to do this
[49:17]
with our own forces. So, I'm not I'm
[49:21]
just suggesting maybe we push something
[49:22]
off your agenda in two weeks, but I'm
[49:24]
not that that was Brian's suggestion.
[49:28]
Follow the city attorneys.
[49:30]
>> I would second that. Would you third it?
[49:32]
>> Okay.
[49:33]
>> I mean, I to me there's a difference
[49:34]
between, you know, uh using existing
[49:37]
capacity that are existing full-time
[49:39]
costs versus an additional appropriation
[49:41]
through contractor. But I don't want
[49:43]
this be done that you're not aware of it
[49:45]
because like this is going to come back
[49:47]
multiple times and we won't always have
[49:49]
the option to use our own forces because
[49:51]
the projects will be large.
[49:53]
>> And so
[49:55]
uh we you know from our standpoint we
[49:57]
want to have the well-run seed that
[49:59]
doesn't have a lot of leaks whether it's
[50:00]
private side or public side or anything
[50:03]
that's we take it all pretty personally.
[50:05]
So anyway that's so we we probably don't
[50:07]
need to come back. We'll probably move
[50:09]
forward if everybody's kind of nodding
[50:12]
that way. I don't know if it needs to be
[50:13]
a vote. I'll let
[50:15]
>> Ryan, do we have some kind of a thing
[50:17]
that releases releases us of any
[50:20]
liability for any damage that was done
[50:24]
like if there's a sinkhole that comes up
[50:27]
before we took it over?
[50:28]
>> Well, I mean, we did that last time with
[50:29]
Quail Valley and I would say that we do
[50:31]
need to do it again. Now, that part of
[50:34]
in addition to the administrative review
[50:38]
by public works and development services
[50:40]
and everybody else of what it takes,
[50:43]
there is an agreement that needs to be
[50:44]
signed in order to actually take
[50:47]
ownership of the private property. And
[50:49]
that agreement is going to include
[50:52]
identification and whole harmless
[50:55]
provisions.
[50:55]
>> But we're not technically taking over
[50:57]
anything, right? Not anymore. Yeah.
[51:00]
>> Uh,
[51:02]
>> we're just we're doing it standard of
[51:04]
what we do in everything now. They're
[51:05]
keeping it all.
[51:06]
>> Yeah, that's true. So, but I think that
[51:09]
I think there is still an issue of that
[51:12]
Gordon and I probably need to talk about
[51:14]
afterwards online. If we are doing work
[51:19]
in exchange for something, uh, if we're
[51:22]
doing work that we wouldn't just
[51:23]
normally schedule and do, I think we
[51:26]
need to think through
[51:29]
um, how do we document that?
[51:32]
So, I don't think that's terribly
[51:34]
complicated. I think it's basically
[51:35]
>> and it wouldn't involve the spine.
[51:37]
>> No, no.
[51:40]
I mean, but I think it's a good question
[51:42]
to raise here because I think really
[51:43]
what it amounts to is Gordon, you and I
[51:45]
need to talk before you send out the
[51:47]
we'll sit down and talk
[51:48]
>> the trench diggers. I guess um my
[51:52]
question for you, Brian, is like totally
[51:55]
if this is 100% administrative side,
[51:57]
doesn't require an appropriation, that's
[51:59]
how our system of government works. I
[52:01]
don't think we need to do anything. But is it helpful in case there is some
[52:06]
costs above and beyond that line like
[52:08]
for us to have an item and vote on it?
[52:11]
>> Well, I mean I think that as I view it,
[52:14]
I think that is up to public works in
[52:17]
the sense that if [snorts] they're going
[52:18]
to ask you for money, that money is
[52:21]
going to come from outside of the budget
[52:22]
because they're not supposed to be under the way that chapter is written
[52:27]
right now. They're not supposed to be um
[52:31]
>> more than 50,000.
[52:33]
>> Well, again, the complication here is
[52:35]
they're not actually taking ownership of
[52:36]
something. They're not supposed to be
[52:38]
spending money out of their budget in
[52:40]
order to take ownership of something
[52:43]
without coming and asking you for that
[52:45]
money and you voting on an
[52:47]
appropriation. So, I would say it sounds
[52:49]
like they have a plan where they don't
[52:51]
need to do that. If at any point that
[52:52]
changes, they need to schedule a hearing
[52:56]
in an evening meeting for the
[52:58]
appropriation of whatever money they
[52:59]
want.
[53:00]
>> Does that answer your question?
[53:01]
>> Yeah, it does.
[53:02]
>> I would want to see the new term.
[53:03]
>> And can't they ask Can't they not
[53:07]
shuffle around more than 50,000 or
[53:09]
something without
[53:11]
>> there? Well, yeah, there's a $50,000
[53:14]
limit in the budget
[53:16]
uh resolution about how they do uh CIP
[53:20]
things. I don't remember now exactly
[53:21]
what it says, but that but that is in
[53:23]
the budget ordinance about how they make
[53:26]
changes to the CIP plan. Uh which again
[53:30]
that'd have to come to you if they were
[53:31]
going to make changes to the CIP plan.
[53:32]
>> All right. So you guys will just take
[53:33]
this offline and we'll
[53:36]
>> but this has still been useful for us to
[53:38]
have a heads up about an issue that's in
[53:40]
our city. So not wasted time at all.
[53:43]
>> Yeah. And you know, and if the council
[53:45]
has any concerns about I guess to lay
[53:47]
out your the future, if you have
[53:49]
concerns about how this one's being
[53:51]
handled, we could always change the
[53:53]
ordinance that governs the process.
[53:56]
>> Okay. Well, thank you.
[53:59]
>> Thanks, Lane.
[54:02]
>> All righty. Number three, a discussion
[54:04]
regarding the best for amphitheater
[54:05]
project development agreement. This
[54:07]
presented to us by Tanner Siguchi. Is it you, Brian, do both? Okay, we're
[54:13]
gonna hear from Brian Jones attorney.
[54:15]
>> Tanner told me he was ready to step in
[54:17]
if I needed to run to the restroom, but
[54:19]
[laughter]
[54:19]
>> in your 90 minutes,
[54:21]
>> but I figured I would.
[54:26]
» All right. Do you have the slideshow
[54:27]
that I sent to Kevin?
[54:35]
» Okay. So, I sent Kevin a slideshow a few
[54:37]
minutes ago. It's mostly just the
[54:39]
agreement split into slides which makes
[54:41]
it easier to read than trying to read
[54:43]
the PDF of the agreement. Uh so we'll
[54:46]
bring that up. So uh
[54:49]
>> everybody buckled up
[54:52]
ready for 90 minutes of development
[54:54]
agreement. Hopefully I'm hoping it'll be
[54:57]
faster than that but it's going to
[54:58]
depend more on your questions and policy
[55:03]
decisions than it is on presentation
[55:05]
itself. presentation is fairly easy.
[55:08]
Let's see. Let me make sure I know how
[55:10]
to Okay, so the intent here, let me let
[55:14]
me give a couple introductory remarks
[55:15]
before we go forward. And uh we've split
[55:19]
the development agreement and the real
[55:21]
estate purchase agreement, which I'll
[55:23]
often refer to as the Repsy addendum
[55:25]
into two separate uh two separate agenda
[55:28]
items. We're going to go through the
[55:30]
development agreement first, then I
[55:31]
think there's a break before we go over
[55:32]
the Repzy addendum.
[55:35]
There are
[55:37]
the intent here is that this is a
[55:40]
presentation of of the latest draft and
[55:44]
there have been various drafts
[55:45]
circulating. One of them was seen at the
[55:46]
planning commission meeting and the
[55:48]
intent here is to present to you in
[55:50]
detail the current draft of what's been
[55:53]
proposed for you to approve in the case
[55:56]
of the development agreement in uh in
[55:59]
line with the reszone. Right? the res
[56:01]
there's been an application for a
[56:03]
reszone. That application uh proposes
[56:07]
the development agreement and you're
[56:09]
being asked to propo to follow our
[56:12]
normal process of approving the reszone
[56:15]
contingent upon execution of the
[56:17]
development agreement. It's just that
[56:19]
this development agreement is much more
[56:20]
detailed and in-depth than you're used
[56:22]
to seeing. So, we're going to go through
[56:24]
it and make sure that you understand
[56:25]
everything about it and that anything
[56:27]
you want changed that we get changed
[56:29]
before your voting. So that's really the
[56:31]
intent. Now having said that,
[56:34]
what my hope is that as we go through
[56:36]
this and we're going to go through kind
[56:38]
of slide by slide, section by section,
[56:40]
my hope is that as you want things
[56:42]
changed that you make motions about the
[56:45]
things that you want changed because
[56:47]
it's going to be very difficult to try
[56:48]
to take seven persons individual
[56:52]
feedback and turn that into a into a
[56:54]
draft. So, if there's something in any
[56:56]
one of these sections that you think is
[56:58]
not the way that you would want it, then
[57:00]
what I'm counting on is that you are
[57:02]
going to make a motion and we're going
[57:03]
to find out if the majority of the
[57:04]
council wants it changed the same way
[57:06]
that you do. Any questions about that we
[57:10]
get started? Okay, let's dig in. So, uh
[57:13]
I'm going to start the development
[57:14]
agreement. I'm not going to go through
[57:15]
every single paragraph. I will later
[57:17]
with the repsy. But the first two pages
[57:20]
of the development agreement are just
[57:22]
some recital about the which property
[57:25]
we're talking about. Um, and it's all
[57:27]
standard boiler state plate stuff. The
[57:30]
substantive part of the agreement that
[57:32]
starts on page two. [snorts] Paragraph
[57:34]
one just references the recital above.
[57:37]
Paragraph two talks about the zoning.
[57:39]
Paragraph three is the first one where
[57:40]
there's been some questions. Okay, so
[57:43]
paragraph 3 is the governing standards.
[57:45]
And there's two things I want to point
[57:46]
out about this. Most of this falls right
[57:49]
in line with our standard template.
[57:51]
There's two different well actually
[57:53]
there's only one difference. One of the
[57:55]
things that we've that has come up in
[57:58]
some of the previous discussions is this
[58:00]
phrase here. All developer submitts must
[58:02]
comply generally with the concept plan.
[58:05]
There's been some critique publicly of
[58:07]
the of the word generally. I will say
[58:09]
this is what our template says. Uh,
[58:12]
personally I'm not terribly concerned
[58:14]
about it because what the sentence says
[58:15]
is submitts must generally comply. Every
[58:19]
submitt is still going to get reviewed
[58:21]
by our entire process for compliance
[58:23]
with the development agreement and
[58:24]
compliance with our code and they won't
[58:26]
be approved unless they they comply. So
[58:28]
this is uh this is the standard sentence
[58:30]
out of our our template about the fact
[58:33]
that they need to follow the concept
[58:34]
plan when they're submitting
[58:36]
applications.
[58:37]
K, on that note, the concept plan, you
[58:40]
mentioned in the email that
[58:43]
since the planning commission denied it,
[58:44]
there is no concept plan.
[58:46]
>> Well, I mentioned that there isn't one
[58:48]
that goes back to the planning
[58:50]
commission. So, the concept plan, and I
[58:52]
was going to get to this in a in another
[58:54]
slide, but it's a good point to make
[58:55]
right now. The concept plan will be an
[58:58]
exhibit to the development agreement.
[59:00]
It's currently listed as exhibit B to
[59:02]
the development agreement. As some of
[59:04]
you have pointed out and as some of the
[59:05]
public have pointed out, the current
[59:06]
draft does not have the current concept
[59:09]
plan in it. I spoke with Brian about
[59:11]
this this morning and Vesper is
[59:14]
essentially waiting to get all the
[59:15]
feedback that they get from this meeting
[59:18]
to incorporate into a new site plan that
[59:21]
will be the exhibit B that will be that
[59:23]
will be in the development agreement
[59:25]
that comes to you when it's time to
[59:26]
vote.
[59:27]
>> So, a planning commission will be
[59:28]
approving it, but we would be approving
[59:30]
it in our vote of a zone change.
[59:31]
>> Correct. And then the next thing that
[59:33]
would go back to planning commission
[59:35]
assuming that everything proceeds as
[59:37]
normal is the project plan would go to planning commission as they
[59:41]
were looking for permits and for the the
[59:44]
project to proceed forward.
[59:46]
>> Okay. So even after whatever we do, a
[59:48]
project plan still goes with planning
[59:50]
commission and they can make changes and
[59:53]
what could
[59:54]
>> but the but the project the project plan
[59:56]
is just reviewed in accordance with code
[59:58]
and now the development
[59:59]
>> it's just a
[1:00:00]
>> so planning commission's review would be
[1:00:02]
does this project plan comply with the
[1:00:04]
code and does it comply with the
[1:00:05]
development agreement.
[1:00:06]
>> Okay.
[1:00:06]
>> Exactly.
[1:00:08]
>> Um the other
[1:00:10]
>> Okay, Beck I'm sorry.
[1:00:13]
So, the one thing that I know some of
[1:00:16]
the people that I've talked to, they're
[1:00:17]
really concerned about the
[1:00:20]
parking garage, making sure that it
[1:00:22]
blends in and that it's set back the way
[1:00:24]
that it is in the current concept plan.
[1:00:26]
They don't want it like out right by the
[1:00:28]
road.
[1:00:30]
How much leeway does Bill have um where
[1:00:33]
that's actually located? Can they stick
[1:00:35]
it if it's all if the concept plans
[1:00:38]
everything's approved and then it comes
[1:00:39]
that there's a fault line right through
[1:00:41]
that parking garage area. Could they
[1:00:43]
move it next to the road or is there
[1:00:44]
like 20% around where it goes or
[1:00:48]
>> Great question. So the concept plan
[1:00:50]
that's going to be approved in the
[1:00:52]
development agreement is going to have a
[1:00:53]
site plan that's going to show where the
[1:00:55]
buildings go. That's going to be binding
[1:00:57]
except as modified by this paragraph.
[1:00:59]
So, this says non-material variations.
[1:01:04]
Uh, it's actually this is it's skipping
[1:01:08]
a sentence. Sorry. Um, there's a
[1:01:10]
sentence before this that says that's
[1:01:12]
not shown on your slide that says
[1:01:13]
non-material variations to the concept
[1:01:15]
plan may be approved by the city's
[1:01:18]
development services director without
[1:01:19]
city councilor planning commission
[1:01:20]
approval. So, so that's why this
[1:01:23]
definition of non-material is so
[1:01:25]
important because that's what that's the
[1:01:26]
discretion that Bill has to deviate from
[1:01:28]
the exhibit.
[1:01:29]
>> What is non-material?
[1:01:30]
>> And that's what's defined right here.
[1:01:31]
Non-material variations include
[1:01:33]
alterations to building footprint
[1:01:35]
locations and pedestrian walkways,
[1:01:38]
adjustments to accommodate engineering
[1:01:40]
specific specifications, locations of
[1:01:43]
open space and parking, updated
[1:01:45]
architectural designs and features of
[1:01:47]
similar quality and other such
[1:01:49]
modifications. so long as such
[1:01:51]
variations do not material change
[1:01:52]
permitted uses or the overall design and
[1:01:55]
development standards of the project.
[1:01:56]
Now, I'm going to before I answer your
[1:01:58]
question more, I'm going to go to the
[1:01:59]
next slide.
[1:02:00]
>> Okay?
[1:02:00]
>> Um because this this is what I just read
[1:02:04]
to you. This is actually what's in our
[1:02:07]
template. Okay? So, this is what this is
[1:02:10]
where we usually start from. This is
[1:02:12]
what the developer has pro has has
[1:02:14]
proposed which is more expansive than
[1:02:16]
our normal, right? Because under our
[1:02:18]
normal template um the only but the
[1:02:23]
developer can or sorry the development
[1:02:25]
services director can has discretion
[1:02:28]
over exact building locations and exact
[1:02:30]
locations of open space and parking. Now
[1:02:33]
those are exactly the ones that you were
[1:02:34]
just talking about. So that was still
[1:02:36]
included in our um in our overall
[1:02:39]
template, right? Um but they can't
[1:02:43]
choose they can't change density, use
[1:02:45]
and intensity. So again, we can narrow
[1:02:48]
that down uh as much as we need to as
[1:02:51]
and as much as is feasible. I think at
[1:02:54]
some at some point, whether it's now or
[1:02:56]
later during the Q&A, we'll probably
[1:02:59]
hear from the developer about how
[1:03:01]
concrete the plan can be at this moment.
[1:03:04]
But if what you're specifically worried
[1:03:06]
about is the parking garage, one option
[1:03:09]
is also to um have a a specific
[1:03:13]
provision about the location of the
[1:03:14]
parking garage. even if other things are
[1:03:16]
still modifiable. That makes sense.
[1:03:22]
» Council,
[1:03:23]
>> yeah, because I I understand that a full
[1:03:26]
geotechnical study has not been done and
[1:03:28]
things may need to be shifted within the
[1:03:30]
site to accommodate that, but I like
[1:03:32]
that in our template,
[1:03:35]
Bill has the authority to approve that.
[1:03:38]
And in the current thing, it doesn't
[1:03:42]
look like Bill's approval is necessary.
[1:03:44]
Well, I'm sorry.
[1:03:47]
>> It's in the sentence that I read that
[1:03:48]
isn't on the slide. It's still it's
[1:03:50]
still Bill's decision to make any dev to
[1:03:53]
approve any deviations from any
[1:03:55]
non-material variations from the
[1:03:57]
concept.
[1:03:58]
>> It says it may be approved by the city's
[1:04:00]
development services director,
[1:04:02]
>> right?
[1:04:02]
>> Which gets to another one of our little
[1:04:04]
>> meaning we've got meaning that if he
[1:04:06]
doesn't approve it, it's
[1:04:07]
>> he does not prove to approve it
[1:04:08]
>> and he's not required.
[1:04:10]
>> Okay. when it says since we've taken out
[1:04:13]
no they can't change the maximum density
[1:04:15]
but we already have that another
[1:04:16]
provision that the maximum densities
[1:04:18]
right right so why why was that
[1:04:21]
important to remove
[1:04:24]
» that I don't know I that uh we'd have to
[1:04:27]
ask
[1:04:29]
the developer
[1:04:31]
>> I'm assuming that they don't
[1:04:32]
>> let me be clear what is that maximum
[1:04:34]
density
[1:04:35]
>> well again the reason why this is in the development agreement in the
[1:04:39]
first place the reason why that's in our template is because 95% of the
[1:04:44]
times that we're doing one of these,
[1:04:46]
it's we're talking about a residential
[1:04:48]
project where the zone allows 50 units
[1:04:51]
per acre and we don't want it to be more
[1:04:53]
than 25. And so this that phrase is in
[1:04:56]
here to say if the development agreement
[1:04:59]
says you can't do more than 25 units per
[1:05:01]
acre, the development services director
[1:05:03]
cannot change that. That's what it's in
[1:05:05]
there for.
[1:05:06]
>> So given this project, what would we
[1:05:08]
consider maximum density? Uh I don't
[1:05:11]
know that there really is a maximum
[1:05:13]
density in this project because there's
[1:05:14]
no residential units and every spec the parking the hotel uh and the
[1:05:21]
amphitheater all have individual caps on
[1:05:24]
their size and the commercial space has
[1:05:26]
its own individual cap as well.
[1:05:28]
>> So let's take the amphitheater. So the
[1:05:29]
maximum density according to this is
[1:05:31]
20,000 seats. Correct.
[1:05:34]
>> Does that does that mean 20,000
[1:05:36]
attendees or 20,000 seats?
[1:05:40]
That's a great question and I don't
[1:05:41]
>> you could have open up
[1:05:43]
>> I asked that last time
[1:05:44]
>> several thousand oh you know people with
[1:05:46]
grass seeding or whatever.
[1:05:48]
>> Okay so to that which is in one of the
[1:05:49]
later slides that's been one of the
[1:05:51]
questions that's asked and it was in the
[1:05:52]
m materials
[1:05:54]
>> uh Malia and Tanner prepared questions
[1:05:56]
that were sent to to Vesper they sent
[1:05:59]
back answers one of the answers to that
[1:06:00]
was that they will not allow seed in on
[1:06:03]
the grass area and that they're fine to
[1:06:04]
put that in the development agreement
[1:06:06]
although it's not there yet. The maximum
[1:06:07]
density for that would be 20,000
[1:06:09]
individuals.
[1:06:10]
>> Correct?
[1:06:10]
>> Okay.
[1:06:13]
Any other questions about this
[1:06:15]
particular paragraph?
[1:06:18]
And you see why I scheduled 90 minutes
[1:06:20]
and see.
[1:06:22]
Okay. So, this is uh so section four is
[1:06:26]
about the permitted uses. Uh there's
[1:06:29]
been a lot of discussion about this, but
[1:06:31]
this uh goes through and it says uh that
[1:06:35]
uh pursuant to the agreement, they can
[1:06:37]
do the indoor outdoor amphitheater venue
[1:06:39]
on a year- round basis. That
[1:06:41]
notwithstanding whatever else the SC3
[1:06:44]
zone says, they can only do the
[1:06:46]
following things. the venue, public
[1:06:48]
assemblies,
[1:06:50]
uh, plaza activities, the hotel of up to
[1:06:54]
75 rooms, ancillary, commercial and
[1:06:56]
retail uses, which I'll talk about in
[1:06:58]
just a second, underground parking,
[1:07:00]
temporary staging. So, the these are the
[1:07:02]
only uses permitted on the property,
[1:07:05]
uh, with, and you probably have
[1:07:07]
questions, but I'll skip ahead. I'll go
[1:07:08]
ahead to this before we take the
[1:07:10]
questions, which is this definition of
[1:07:12]
an slowly used. So let me back up uh
[1:07:16]
back back here where it says ancillary
[1:07:19]
commercial and retail uses compatible
[1:07:21]
with the amphitheater use that's
[1:07:24]
modified by this which means it has to
[1:07:26]
be incidental subordinate integrated
[1:07:28]
with the the the amphitheater the hotel
[1:07:32]
guest service food and beverage etc.
[1:07:34]
Only permitted if the if the
[1:07:36]
amphitheater has been completed and is
[1:07:38]
active use so they can't build the other
[1:07:41]
stuff.
[1:07:41]
>> Okay so that was one of my questions. So
[1:07:43]
they the amphitheater has to be built
[1:07:45]
and usable before they can use the hotel
[1:07:48]
or the commercial space.
[1:07:50]
>> Um
[1:07:52]
the commercial space, yes. I don't think as currently written that
[1:07:59]
this prevents the hotel from being used.
[1:08:03]
Um
[1:08:05]
because so ancillary uses may be
[1:08:07]
constructed concurrently with the
[1:08:09]
construction of the venue and the hotel,
[1:08:11]
but the uses are only permitted if the
[1:08:13]
venue is completed and in use, but but
[1:08:15]
the hotel is not one of the ancillary
[1:08:17]
uses. So the hotel could operate first
[1:08:20]
as currently written.
[1:08:22]
Other questions about that?
[1:08:26]
Um, and then just, you know, some some
[1:08:28]
legal speak to say even that we have to
[1:08:31]
record those uses on the property and
[1:08:33]
that those are the only uses permitted
[1:08:35]
in perpetuity.
[1:08:37]
>> Okay. Councelor B,
[1:08:39]
>> is this someone that caps the commercial
[1:08:42]
that it can only be like 100?
[1:08:44]
>> No, that is
[1:08:47]
[clears throat]
[1:08:47]
okay. So, that's a little bit later.
[1:08:50]
>> Okay, then I'll wait for my question
[1:08:51]
later. As long as we're getting to it. I
[1:08:53]
had put this in to councelor
[1:08:55]
Christensen's uh question a few minutes
[1:08:57]
ago. This was something that Vesper had
[1:08:59]
put in the materials that were
[1:09:00]
distributed earlier, which was both that
[1:09:03]
they're willing to add to the
[1:09:04]
development agreement the ban on the
[1:09:05]
grass seating and uh and also to
[1:09:09]
specifically specify that a tram is not
[1:09:12]
a permitted use. It my view it wouldn't
[1:09:14]
be anyway because it's not in the list
[1:09:16]
but they but because there were concerns
[1:09:18]
raised about it they said we're fine to
[1:09:19]
put in explicitly that it's prohibited
[1:09:23]
but
[1:09:23]
>> could I just mention
[1:09:24]
>> yeah Brian
[1:09:25]
>> can you stand up to the microphone
[1:09:26]
though and
[1:09:27]
>> yeah Brian Bis um with Development um I don't I think um you've kind of
[1:09:32]
mentioned a few different ideas the idea
[1:09:34]
is that 20,000 can't be exceeded and
[1:09:36]
that's the commitment that we're making
[1:09:37]
here um it's not that we can't seat
[1:09:39]
people on the grass so as long as we're
[1:09:41]
below the
[1:09:43]
Yeah, exactly.
[1:09:45]
>> Yeah, it's it's the 20 is the cap and so
[1:09:47]
we could still see people on the grass
[1:09:48]
if we chose to do that. We haven't made
[1:09:50]
that decision yet, but the 20,000 is the
[1:09:52]
>> Okay, fair enough.
[1:09:55]
All right, so then getting on to Well,
[1:09:58]
let's see. We're still not quite to
[1:10:00]
Buckley's question yet, but we'll get
[1:10:01]
there. Uh
[1:10:05]
>> so, oh, I guess my slide skipped over my
[1:10:08]
slides skip over section five. Section
[1:10:09]
five is the height standards. So, as you
[1:10:12]
may recall, uh, structures can't exceed
[1:10:14]
three stories or 50 feet, even though
[1:10:16]
the SC3 zone allows higher, except for,
[1:10:20]
uh, the specific theatrical rigging fly
[1:10:22]
loft, which can be up to 125. So, okay.
[1:10:25]
So, now we're up to I think Becky's
[1:10:28]
question, which is these are the caps.
[1:10:30]
So, 20,000 seats. So, we'll clarify this
[1:10:32]
that that means 20,000 people, not
[1:10:34]
20,000 seats plus other area. Uh, 75
[1:10:38]
rooms for the hotel. And then there's
[1:10:41]
this cap of 150,000 square ft on
[1:10:44]
aggregate square footage of commercial
[1:10:46]
uses that is listed here as total gross
[1:10:50]
flurry of merchandise, restaurant, food
[1:10:52]
and beverage, guest service, event
[1:10:55]
support, administrative operations,
[1:10:57]
other project serving building areas. Um
[1:11:00]
so so that's what's included at the
[1:11:02]
moment. Doesn't include the amphitheater
[1:11:04]
or the hotel
[1:11:06]
um
[1:11:08]
>> or or the parking. Okay.
[1:11:10]
>> So that 50,000 square feet is not the
[1:11:12]
hotel and that is not the amphitheater
[1:11:15]
and that is not parking.
[1:11:17]
>> Correct.
[1:11:17]
>> So it was brought up that Riverwoods is
[1:11:21]
what 180,000 square ft.
[1:11:24]
So this is a mall
[1:11:28]
with a hotel and a concert venue. Why
[1:11:31]
would you need 150,000 square feet?
[1:11:35]
Why would you need a little less than a
[1:11:38]
riverwoods there?
[1:11:39]
>> Like yeah, I would like to really
[1:11:40]
specify that it is going to be the only
[1:11:43]
retail could be well besides the food
[1:11:45]
retail that's old thing. [clears throat]
[1:11:47]
But
[1:11:49]
the merchandise for the artists
[1:11:50]
performing and then sundaries, right?
[1:11:52]
Like band-aids or whatever for like a
[1:11:56]
convenient thing for like because people
[1:11:57]
are going to be kept their biking and
[1:11:59]
hiking and doing their stuff at like a
[1:12:00]
that'd be great. But
[1:12:02]
>> it does like it people are worried it's
[1:12:03]
going to be a mall. I keep saying a
[1:12:04]
mall. It's not going to be I don't think
[1:12:06]
anyone intends it to be a mall, but I
[1:12:08]
think we need to make that clearer.
[1:12:09]
>> And uh I had a conversation with Brian a
[1:12:12]
couple times about this over the LA over
[1:12:14]
the since Thursday. And essentially I
[1:12:19]
think that I think as I understand it
[1:12:21]
and I'll let them speak for themselves
[1:12:22]
here in a second but I think the thought
[1:12:25]
process was because if you look at this
[1:12:29]
even though the even though it says
[1:12:30]
commercial uses
[1:12:33]
including retail and operations and then
[1:12:35]
they list essentially everything that's
[1:12:38]
not the hotel the the venue and the uh
[1:12:42]
and the parking. So I don't, as I
[1:12:44]
understand it, the idea was not to say
[1:12:46]
we can build 150,000 ft of commercial.
[1:12:49]
It was to say we can build 150,000
[1:12:51]
square feet of everything else and then
[1:12:53]
their concept plan shows what those
[1:12:56]
things are. But there have been a lot of
[1:12:58]
concerns expressed about that and I
[1:12:59]
think that's something. So I don't know
[1:13:01]
if this would be a good time to invite
[1:13:02]
them to address that.
[1:13:04]
>> Okay. Council Whipple.
[1:13:05]
>> Yeah. I partly on the retail facing
[1:13:08]
side, you're going to want that spread
[1:13:10]
out because if you have a lot of people
[1:13:11]
there, they can't all go to one little
[1:13:13]
bodega size thing. So, I think that's
[1:13:16]
one portion of it. Um, and on sales, I
[1:13:19]
want to be able to like buy a Vesper
[1:13:20]
t-shirt or something just like you could
[1:13:22]
at Sundance, right? That would be part
[1:13:23]
of their centuries, I would expect, is
[1:13:25]
their own brand thing as well as the
[1:13:27]
artist thinks. But what I'm wondering is
[1:13:30]
this operations, would this include like
[1:13:33]
the area where you've got like the
[1:13:35]
loading base where you've got the
[1:13:37]
performers and their big trailers coming
[1:13:39]
in to unload their equipment and
[1:13:42]
everything up like that seems like that
[1:13:43]
would be operations and I think that
[1:13:45]
would take up a lot of space. So I don't
[1:13:48]
expect that all of this aggregate square
[1:13:50]
footage ends up being consumerf facing
[1:13:53]
or client facing. probably some portion
[1:13:56]
of it is back in and they may be able to
[1:13:58]
tell her what that percentage would be.
[1:14:00]
>> And one of the and one of the
[1:14:02]
conversations that I had with them over
[1:14:03]
the weekend is that because I know
[1:14:05]
there's been a lot of concern about this
[1:14:06]
is maybe this definition is so broad it
[1:14:09]
needs to be split up into two categories
[1:14:11]
itself.
[1:14:11]
>> It absolutely does. I mean that tells me
[1:14:13]
nothing. Uh people's concern is mall up
[1:14:16]
there
[1:14:17]
>> and they have every right to be
[1:14:18]
concerned. So if it really is part of
[1:14:20]
what we talked about at the very
[1:14:22]
beginning was some merch that's a Costco
[1:14:25]
of merch. Um that doesn't make sense. So
[1:14:27]
if that's not what's meant, we got to
[1:14:29]
specifically call out x number of feet
[1:14:31]
maximum in retail square footage. That would be helpful for me. Okay.
[1:14:36]
>> Council Whitlock.
[1:14:37]
>> Yeah. Just a related question. I think
[1:14:38]
the language in a previous slide that
[1:14:40]
you you said we'll talk about this in a
[1:14:41]
minute was it was like associated.
[1:14:45]
Well, the ancillary uses and so yes, you're right
[1:14:48]
that
[1:14:50]
>> um again if we go because the the two
[1:14:53]
work in conjunction. So the square
[1:14:55]
footage limitation is not the only
[1:14:57]
limitation. They also have to abide by
[1:14:59]
the permitted uses and under that any
[1:15:02]
retail that did not meet this definition
[1:15:06]
would not be permitted no matter what
[1:15:08]
the size was. if they couldn't they
[1:15:10]
couldn't build 10 square ft of retail
[1:15:12]
that doesn't meet this definition let
[1:15:15]
alone 150,000 square ft
[1:15:17]
>> which is not to say that it may not
[1:15:19]
still be useful to be more to be more
[1:15:21]
granular about the that square footage
[1:15:23]
>> could you give me um lawyer to layman
[1:15:27]
translation of that of the c that c
[1:15:30]
>> term of what that that what that defines
[1:15:31]
>> of the ancillary uses
[1:15:34]
>> so
[1:15:35]
um the yeah good question because a lot
[1:15:38]
of these are use are uses that we uh do
[1:15:41]
use all the time. So essentially if I
[1:15:44]
think probably the lay layman's way of defining incidental subordinate
[1:15:49]
integrated with is any retail that if
[1:15:53]
the venue wasn't there
[1:15:58]
wouldn't be there is not permitted. Does
[1:16:01]
that does that kind of make does that
[1:16:02]
kind of make sense? Like if you if
[1:16:05]
you're not building the retail
[1:16:08]
because you built the amphitheater, it
[1:16:10]
would not be permitted.
[1:16:11]
>> Could I give you a couple cases and you
[1:16:13]
can interpret it for me?
[1:16:14]
>> Yeah.
[1:16:15]
>> So, a restaurant at the hotel.
[1:16:17]
>> Well, that's not even that's already explicitly um
[1:16:21]
>> permitted in a different cause. Okay.
[1:16:23]
>> Yeah.
[1:16:23]
>> What about a uh a bunch of restaurants
[1:16:26]
that are not explicitly associated with
[1:16:28]
hotel?
[1:16:29]
>> Uh this explicitly allows restaurants.
[1:16:32]
So at the moment there's no
[1:16:34]
>> but those don't have to be explicitly
[1:16:35]
connected to the hotel and how it's
[1:16:37]
written.
[1:16:37]
>> No.
[1:16:38]
>> So you could for example have a
[1:16:41]
riverwoods of restaurants and bars up
[1:16:43]
there. Is that permitted according to
[1:16:45]
this?
[1:16:45]
>> You theoretically could have up to
[1:16:48]
150,000 square feet of restaurants and
[1:16:50]
bars.
[1:16:50]
>> Okay. I just want to make sure I'm
[1:16:52]
understanding this correct.
[1:16:53]
>> Thank you.
[1:16:55]
>> So councelor Whipple.
[1:16:57]
>> Yeah. So I'm wondering like guest
[1:16:59]
service would that also include
[1:17:00]
restrooms? like how many square feet of
[1:17:02]
restrooms are you going to have to
[1:17:03]
provide if you're going to host 20,000
[1:17:06]
people?
[1:17:07]
>> That's right. And that is one of the
[1:17:09]
when Brian and I have talked about this
[1:17:10]
before, the restrooms are included in
[1:17:12]
the 150,000 square feet. But again, that
[1:17:14]
kind of goes to the at least in my view,
[1:17:16]
the idea of that category being so broad
[1:17:19]
that it would be better if it was at
[1:17:20]
least two categories instead of just
[1:17:22]
one.
[1:17:22]
>> Yeah. Because it looks like we've got,
[1:17:24]
you know, back-end operations included
[1:17:26]
in this. We've got absolutely necessary
[1:17:29]
guest services that have to be there
[1:17:32]
>> for this facility to work
[1:17:35]
>> and then you will have retail and these
[1:17:38]
more commercial things
[1:17:39]
>> that are going to fit in after you've
[1:17:42]
hit those mandatory things for the
[1:17:44]
project. But we don't know what those
[1:17:46]
percentages are.
[1:17:49]
>> Actually, they do.
[1:17:50]
>> They do. Well, I mean,
[1:17:53]
>> it looks like on the slide they do. we
[1:17:55]
are are people who are emailing us and
[1:17:57]
so that's why we need to talk about this
[1:17:59]
and have it clearly out and open.
[1:18:02]
>> Uh would it be appropriate to have Brian
[1:18:04]
address this slide now that he just put
[1:18:05]
up?
[1:18:06]
>> Yeah, that'd be great.
[1:18:07]
>> Go ahead, Brian.
[1:18:08]
>> Okay. Um so, thank you for uh these good
[1:18:11]
questions. These are really important
[1:18:12]
questions that we want to make sure
[1:18:13]
being as explicitly clear as we possibly
[1:18:15]
can be. Um and it's exactly what Brian
[1:18:18]
said. So, there are caps on everything
[1:18:20]
in this project. So the amphitheater has
[1:18:23]
a cap, the restroom, uh or sorry, the
[1:18:25]
restaurant has a cap. And so we've kind
[1:18:27]
of looked at the restaurant cap as
[1:18:28]
anything that's associated with the
[1:18:29]
restaurant is included in that cap. Um
[1:18:32]
so we've got the amphitheater, we've got
[1:18:33]
the restaurant, and then we've got
[1:18:34]
separately a parking cap. So you can see
[1:18:37]
those three caps up at the top. And then
[1:18:39]
we said, okay,
[1:18:40]
>> what do you mean? Hotel cap.
[1:18:41]
>> Yeah, hotel. The rooms, the number of
[1:18:43]
rooms, Krice, that's exactly right. So
[1:18:46]
>> I'm sorry, I meant hotel. Yeah, the
[1:18:48]
restaurant would be included in the
[1:18:49]
additional square footage. and we heard
[1:18:51]
loud and clicker. It's like we are very
[1:18:53]
concerned about this turning into a
[1:18:55]
mall. So we specifically said in the
[1:18:57]
uses a mall is not a permitted use. So
[1:18:59]
that's one way that we said no that's
[1:19:02]
not our intent and we're willing to put
[1:19:03]
that commitment in writing. And then the
[1:19:05]
second way we felt like this was kind of
[1:19:06]
a belt and sus suspenders approach. It
[1:19:09]
wasn't Greg that we have the approval to
[1:19:10]
go do a Costco. It's the idea that we
[1:19:13]
wanted to provide some context to say we
[1:19:15]
can't just go do whatever we want up
[1:19:16]
there. In addition to not being able to
[1:19:18]
do them all explicitly, we wanted to
[1:19:20]
give some context to say, hey, we right
[1:19:23]
now are planning on an additional 111
[1:19:25]
square ft of retail space. Admittedly,
[1:19:28]
there's a lot of things that we have yet
[1:19:29]
to do in terms of design and the back
[1:19:31]
house. And there's always things that
[1:19:32]
are changing. If you look at recently at
[1:19:35]
amphitheaters, one of the big changes
[1:19:37]
that's happened recently in the last 5
[1:19:38]
years, and you know amphitheaters, and
[1:19:40]
you've probably seen this, is the VIP
[1:19:42]
use of a of an amphitheater is
[1:19:44]
significantly higher than an older
[1:19:46]
amphitheater. So, we kind of said, "Hey,
[1:19:48]
look, we're going to be building this
[1:19:49]
thing in the next 3 years. We want to
[1:19:50]
give ourselves some level. We don't want
[1:19:52]
to have to come back to the city to have
[1:19:53]
this conversation again." And so, here
[1:19:55]
we think 150 is a reasonable amount of
[1:19:57]
space. And here are the uses that
[1:19:59]
they're currently anticipating to get us
[1:20:01]
to that 111 footage. So we've got food
[1:20:04]
and beverage of 21,000 that would
[1:20:06]
include a restaurant. We've got a
[1:20:07]
merchandise subto subtotal which again
[1:20:09]
like was saying this is not this is not
[1:20:12]
a major component of the project but we
[1:20:14]
didn't have we kind of bucketed
[1:20:15]
everything else at this 150 because we
[1:20:17]
didn't have any other way of kind of
[1:20:18]
breaking it down. So we said okay
[1:20:20]
merchandise we've got performer spaces
[1:20:22]
subtotal. This is a number that we could
[1:20:23]
see flexing pretty dramatically.
[1:20:25]
Operations and support subtotal. I mean,
[1:20:27]
that's the size of a pretty big
[1:20:28]
[clears throat] retail store, but that's
[1:20:30]
just our maintenance. We've got to have
[1:20:31]
a place to store, you know, our snow
[1:20:32]
scraping equipment and our, you know,
[1:20:34]
landscaping and some of those things.
[1:20:35]
So, restroom, subtotal, circulation
[1:20:37]
support, subtotal, uh, MEP, that's
[1:20:40]
mechanical engineering, uh, mechanical,
[1:20:42]
electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.
[1:20:44]
So, like anything that we had, we just
[1:20:46]
jumped it in there. Now, if we didn't do
[1:20:48]
this well enough, we're happy to take
[1:20:50]
your feedback, but this was our way to
[1:20:52]
say this is a belt. the belt being we
[1:20:54]
can't do them all and the suspenders
[1:20:56]
being here's a breakdown of what the
[1:20:57]
square footage was. So we felt like we
[1:20:59]
were being very explicit and the
[1:21:01]
additional language that provided in
[1:21:03]
ancillary commercial we felt like really
[1:21:06]
clarified that it has to be directly
[1:21:07]
connected. It couldn't be a best buy
[1:21:09]
that we decided to put up there that's
[1:21:11]
not directly connected to anything we're
[1:21:12]
doing at Vesper. So again, if there's a
[1:21:15]
better way to do that for the council,
[1:21:17]
we are very much open your suggestions,
[1:21:19]
but we felt like this was over and
[1:21:20]
above.
[1:21:22]
>> Great.
[1:21:22]
>> So, so what I've proposed a couple
[1:21:23]
times, and I don't know, and maybe this
[1:21:25]
isn't even enough granularity for the
[1:21:27]
council, but having seen this slide
[1:21:28]
before, if it were if it were me, I
[1:21:32]
would divide the 150,000 into this group
[1:21:35]
and this group.
[1:21:36]
>> Yes.
[1:21:37]
>> And uh and and maybe these numbers all
[1:21:40]
go up to total 150 instead. So they've
[1:21:42]
got some So they've got some wiggle
[1:21:44]
room. I don't think we necessarily need
[1:21:45]
to not pin them down to wiggle room, but
[1:21:47]
I would I would divide these two into
[1:21:49]
their own category and this into a
[1:21:50]
separate category. And I think that
[1:21:52]
would address most of the issues that
[1:21:54]
I've heard so far.
[1:21:55]
>> Yeah, I agree.
[1:21:56]
>> That's great.
[1:21:57]
>> And like is this something so you'd put
[1:22:00]
this in the agreement? It's not part of
[1:22:01]
the concept plan. It would be part of
[1:22:03]
the agreement,
[1:22:03]
>> right?
[1:22:04]
>> Okay.
[1:22:05]
>> Should we make a motion on that or
[1:22:06]
>> I would love one.
[1:22:07]
>> Okay. [laughter]
[1:22:08]
>> Trying to follow your feedback.
[1:22:09]
>> We're gonna make a motion. O'Brien just
[1:22:11]
said to
[1:22:13]
put together into two categories the
[1:22:16]
ancillary commercial in categories of
[1:22:19]
food and beverage and merchandise as
[1:22:21]
well. And then the other category will
[1:22:23]
be the performer spaces, operations,
[1:22:24]
restrooms, circulation and um MEP
[1:22:29]
infrastructure.
[1:22:32]
>> I'll second that.
[1:22:33]
>> Right. Second by Jeff. Any discussion on
[1:22:36]
that piece of it?
[1:22:37]
>> Um yeah, I just want to be clear. So the
[1:22:40]
numbers that they've put in I think
[1:22:42]
represent the floor. And so they've
[1:22:45]
defined a floor for each of those
[1:22:46]
categories. Right now they haven't
[1:22:48]
defined what the ceiling is because the
[1:22:52]
general overall ceiling is 150.
[1:22:54]
>> Oh, I see. So it's one,
[1:22:56]
>> right?
[1:22:56]
>> Well, I think they can do it up to 150
[1:22:58]
in those two categories.
[1:23:00]
>> Yes.
[1:23:01]
>> Well, actually, no. Uh that's that's
[1:23:04]
what we just got done talking about. If
[1:23:05]
they said, "Well, we actually don't need
[1:23:07]
that space. You just need
[1:23:08]
>> well not 15 not 1550 each but the two combined to go up to 150
[1:23:14]
>> some
[1:23:14]
>> with with specific cap
[1:23:17]
>> again speaking just for myself I'm
[1:23:19]
anticipating that this number is not
[1:23:21]
going to be 27 it's probably going to be
[1:23:23]
32 or I think all these numbers will go
[1:23:26]
up somewhat proportionally to reach 150
[1:23:30]
but there will be a number for these two
[1:23:32]
and a number for these four is what I'm
[1:23:35]
>> yes
[1:23:35]
>> contemplating. Yes.
[1:23:38]
>> Right. Because that way we wouldn't be
[1:23:40]
adding just another
[1:23:43]
um 39,000 to food and beverage to get up
[1:23:46]
to the 15.
[1:23:47]
>> Right. Right. Right.
[1:23:49]
>> All right. Should we take a vote on that
[1:23:50]
then?
[1:23:52]
Okay. Councelor Bogdan.
[1:23:53]
>> Yes.
[1:23:54]
>> Councelor Whitlock.
[1:23:55]
>> Yes.
[1:23:56]
>> Councelor McKay. Yes. Councelor
[1:23:57]
Christensen.
[1:23:58]
>> Yes.
[1:23:59]
>> Councelor
[1:24:00]
Barrett.
[1:24:01]
>> Yes.
[1:24:02]
>> I almost called on you. Councelor
[1:24:04]
Whipple. Yes. And do we have Travis
[1:24:06]
still?
[1:24:07]
>> Yes.
[1:24:08]
>> Hold.
[1:24:10]
>> Was there anything? So that passed 70.
[1:24:12]
Was there anything else we decided
[1:24:13]
before taking a vote that that you were
[1:24:15]
concerned about? I swear one more thing.
[1:24:18]
Well, that was uh well, I guess the one
[1:24:22]
that comes to mind is I am anticipating,
[1:24:24]
even though you didn't make a motion on
[1:24:25]
it, I am anticipating that we will
[1:24:28]
incorporate what they have already
[1:24:30]
offered about the 20,000
[1:24:33]
uh seat limit and about the no tram
[1:24:35]
thing. Since those were already
[1:24:36]
proposals by them,
[1:24:38]
>> I'm just assuming that we're going to
[1:24:39]
incorporate those even though you didn't
[1:24:41]
vote on it.
[1:24:41]
>> Yes.
[1:24:42]
>> Those are the only things that I've
[1:24:43]
heard so far that the council
[1:24:45]
affirmatively wants changed. Well, there
[1:24:48]
was not the moving to the parking that
[1:24:49]
the parking.
[1:24:51]
>> Well, okay. Now, that's a good question
[1:24:52]
because there wasn't a motion on that.
[1:24:54]
So, uh there were some opinions
[1:24:56]
expressed. But if Oh, we got to go back
[1:24:58]
to my Yeah. Can you go back?
[1:24:59]
>> That is one of the big sellers on the
[1:25:01]
parking is that hidden rock natural.
[1:25:05]
Yeah. Invisible parking. Yeah.
[1:25:09]
>> So, there wasn't a motion to change any
[1:25:11]
of this. Now, let me actually go forward
[1:25:15]
a little bit. I'm going to skip
[1:25:18]
Let's see.
[1:25:20]
>> Would it be more appropriate to say that
[1:25:22]
there's no buildings or structures
[1:25:25]
within because that still leaves a
[1:25:27]
parking lot, but veget it's got to be
[1:25:31]
screened by heavy vegetation and there's
[1:25:33]
nothing within like I don't know 40 ft
[1:25:36]
of the road or something like that.
[1:25:38]
>> Those are all possibilities. Uh you
[1:25:41]
know, Bill would have to Bill could
[1:25:42]
discuss already what's already in the
[1:25:44]
code that would apply to that. The other
[1:25:45]
thing that occurs to me is maybe instead
[1:25:47]
of changing paragraph three and somebody
[1:25:50]
remind me after I get done with this
[1:25:51]
that we skipped seven and I got to go
[1:25:53]
back to seven. But um there's this
[1:25:56]
paragraph in it already which is about
[1:25:57]
designing materials and based on
[1:25:59]
councelor Bogdan's comments about what
[1:26:01]
her concern is. One possibility might be
[1:26:04]
to add more language to this paragraph
[1:26:07]
about the parking garage about and where
[1:26:10]
it specifies something about I don't
[1:26:13]
know I'll rely on Bill and probably the
[1:26:15]
developers to think about how to
[1:26:16]
actually say it but that the parking
[1:26:19]
structure has to be enclosed and and
[1:26:22]
meet design standards.
[1:26:22]
>> Yes. Because that I would consider
[1:26:24]
material.
[1:26:25]
>> Yeah.
[1:26:25]
>> That that issue I think would be
[1:26:27]
material to most of us.
[1:26:28]
>> Yes, I agree.
[1:26:29]
>> Okay. So we good with that or do you
[1:26:31]
need a motion? Uh I I actually had just
[1:26:33]
a quick question.
[1:26:34]
>> Jeff has a question.
[1:26:35]
>> I'm not opposed to it, but I just to
[1:26:37]
help me understand a little better is
[1:26:38]
like so the
[1:26:41]
>> the agreement caps the parking. Does it
[1:26:44]
have a minimum amount of It has a
[1:26:45]
minimum two. Correct.
[1:26:46]
>> There's no minimum, but there is a
[1:26:49]
minimum required by city code.
[1:26:51]
>> Code one out of four. So it's
[1:26:54]
>> Say that again.
[1:26:55]
>> Anyway, sorry. Keep going.
[1:26:57]
>> Yeah. Yeah. There's a minimum that's
[1:26:58]
going to be required by city code. We
[1:27:00]
don't know what that number is yet
[1:27:02]
because we don't have a final plan to
[1:27:05]
base that number off of. My recollection
[1:27:07]
is that Aaron said last time it was
[1:27:09]
around 5,500.
[1:27:11]
>> Yes,
[1:27:11]
>> more or less.
[1:27:12]
>> But we don't know for certain.
[1:27:13]
>> That was my understanding. So there's an
[1:27:14]
effective minimum. So my question is on
[1:27:16]
this motion is like when you look at the
[1:27:18]
cap of the 15 acres, the effective
[1:27:21]
minimum parking, the site layout, like
[1:27:23]
[snorts] is there really any other place
[1:27:25]
they could actually put the page? Like I don't know. I'm just wondering like
[1:27:29]
>> Bill could probably speak to that better
[1:27:30]
than I can.
[1:27:31]
>> I mean, they're going to have to put a
[1:27:32]
garage somewhere or else they can't meet
[1:27:33]
the Rubik's cube of
[1:27:36]
>> Yeah. If technical says they can't build
[1:27:39]
the garage, then the project is
[1:27:41]
>> that's the depth of the project really
[1:27:43]
because there's no way to meet
[1:27:44]
>> because you can build a parking
[1:27:45]
structure on a fall.
[1:27:47]
>> The parking structure is not an occupied
[1:27:49]
building.
[1:27:51]
>> It's more expensive. You're going to
[1:27:52]
build on top of a fault, but you can do
[1:27:54]
that.
[1:27:54]
>> Yeah. Oh man, the insurance for that if
[1:27:56]
all of those things collapsed on those
[1:27:58]
cars.
[1:27:59]
>> The representation that's been made is
[1:28:01]
that the attractiveness about putting
[1:28:02]
the parking structure where they
[1:28:04]
proposed is that material they'll take
[1:28:06]
out of there is helpful to build the
[1:28:08]
rest of the development. But if you're
[1:28:10]
worried about that issue to me, put a
[1:28:12]
setback on the parking structure. It
[1:28:14]
can't be within 100 ft of the road.
[1:28:16]
That's what you're worried about right
[1:28:18]
now.
[1:28:19]
>> We do not want or 150 foot set back on
[1:28:22]
parking structure.
[1:28:23]
>> Yeah. And in the current plan, how far
[1:28:26]
would that structure be from the road?
[1:28:30]
Because what we'd be doing is
[1:28:31]
constraining how much closer it could
[1:28:32]
get if it's necessary to shift it.
[1:28:34]
Right. Because I don't think it's
[1:28:36]
planned to be closer to the road than
[1:28:38]
that.
[1:28:39]
>> Yeah. If it's right there.
[1:28:40]
>> Well, conceptually, no. Reality.
[1:28:44]
>> Right. No.
[1:28:48]
And I don't know that I guess I would
[1:28:50]
say this in the interest of because I
[1:28:51]
know there's a lot of details and we're
[1:28:52]
going to have to work some stuff out,
[1:28:53]
but I don't know that we necessarily
[1:28:57]
have to determine every number in this
[1:29:00]
meeting. But
[1:29:02]
>> but for example, with this one, if
[1:29:04]
somebody were to be make a motion saying
[1:29:07]
in consultation with development
[1:29:09]
services, we want there to be in the
[1:29:10]
development agreement a setback on the
[1:29:12]
parking structure from the road, then
[1:29:13]
that gives us the direction we know. We
[1:29:15]
need to go work that out.
[1:29:17]
Okay. So, Bill, what about the
[1:29:19]
screening? What about the plants on the
[1:29:21]
road? What what's their code say there?
[1:29:25]
>> The SC3 doesn't have a lot in terms of
[1:29:27]
screening. Um because the site generally
[1:29:30]
will sit at the bottom of the road,
[1:29:32]
right? It's just that change in
[1:29:33]
elevation and landscaping that will take
[1:29:35]
place between the road and the first
[1:29:37]
parking. That's going to provide pretty
[1:29:40]
good screening anyway. There is a
[1:29:42]
section on that
[1:29:42]
>> that
[1:29:44]
is pictures they the pictures they've
[1:29:46]
put forth the screen look amazing is
[1:29:48]
that part of the concept plan like
[1:29:50]
that's something that can be
[1:29:51]
>> parted on. So okay.
[1:29:53]
>> Yeah.
[1:29:54]
>> And that has to be maintained
[1:29:55]
>> together with the concept and and this
[1:29:57]
paragraph also again uh talks about both
[1:29:59]
screen and it also talks about
[1:30:00]
integration of the site. I mean again
[1:30:03]
not opposed to any clarity that the
[1:30:04]
council wants but frankly between this
[1:30:06]
paragraph and the concept plan I don't
[1:30:09]
think that bill could put the parking
[1:30:11]
structure on the other side of the
[1:30:12]
property because it's got to be
[1:30:14]
integrated into the uh into the
[1:30:16]
topography.
[1:30:18]
I have one other followup question
[1:30:20]
related to this line of discussion. So
[1:30:24]
the and it could be related to what we
[1:30:25]
were just talking about, but like the documentation permits the
[1:30:29]
underground parking lot, but I didn't
[1:30:31]
see anywhere like explicitly requires
[1:30:33]
it. Is that because it's implied by the
[1:30:35]
>> it's implied by the it's implied by the this combined with the minimum
[1:30:44]
limit. That's kind of what I was saying
[1:30:46]
before is like there but couldn't they
[1:30:48]
do above ground? Like why why would that
[1:30:49]
be?
[1:30:50]
>> But then we've got the height limit cap.
[1:30:52]
>> So is that where the operative
[1:30:55]
>> that's a good question, Bill. If they if
[1:30:56]
they I mean if they built
[1:30:58]
>> 15 acres of
[1:31:00]
>> above ground
[1:31:01]
>> threetory
[1:31:03]
parking
[1:31:03]
>> they might hit the
[1:31:04]
>> How many parking spaces could they get?
[1:31:06]
I I don't know the answer to that.
[1:31:09]
>> Sorry. I just I was just that's just my
[1:31:11]
question around this whole
[1:31:12]
>> Well, again, I mean, if if you want if
[1:31:14]
that if that's what you want in there.
[1:31:16]
Again, this is your agreement. I'm happy
[1:31:19]
to put anything in here you want.
[1:31:22]
>> Well, I I again, I think this is
[1:31:25]
material because part of what we're
[1:31:26]
trying to do is preserve the aesthetics.
[1:31:28]
Yeah.
[1:31:29]
>> And everyone agrees on aesthetics until
[1:31:30]
the invoice comes through.
[1:31:32]
>> So, that's the rub. Um, I would feel
[1:31:35]
much more comfortable if we were very
[1:31:37]
clear about sub because everything we've
[1:31:39]
heard so far is subterranean parking.
[1:31:41]
So, I'm anticipating, in fact, until we
[1:31:43]
actually got to this, I had even
[1:31:44]
realized, oh my goodness, this could
[1:31:46]
actually end up, you know, as tall as it
[1:31:48]
can get in a place where you don't want
[1:31:50]
to look at it because that's more so
[1:31:54]
we're trying to balance it. I would feel
[1:31:56]
more comfortable if we actually
[1:31:58]
specified subtraining parking.
[1:32:01]
>> You want to make a motion? Yeah, I'll
[1:32:03]
make a motion that
[1:32:04]
>> Yeah, here's here's the challenge. I I
[1:32:05]
don't know specifically what was the
[1:32:07]
motions made. I think
[1:32:08]
>> I I specifically don't know I I don't
[1:32:11]
know the specifics other than Yeah,
[1:32:12]
let's do subterranean. All right. Well,
[1:32:14]
you got two. They're way down.
[1:32:16]
>> It's not all subterranean. It goes up.
[1:32:18]
>> Well, I know, but I
[1:32:19]
>> Yeah,
[1:32:20]
>> I don't even know how to make a motion
[1:32:21]
here.
[1:32:21]
>> Right. Well, and let's think through it
[1:32:23]
because the proposal is to have the 15
[1:32:25]
acres of surface parking
[1:32:27]
>> and a subterranean essentially garage.
[1:32:29]
that may come up a little bit, but it's
[1:32:31]
tucked in somehow. But they've also got
[1:32:34]
in the proposal that if that ends up not
[1:32:37]
being enough parking and they need to
[1:32:39]
build up that they would take one of the
[1:32:41]
surface lots and put a second layer
[1:32:43]
above it. And so are you opposed to like
[1:32:46]
a double-decker parking area?
[1:32:48]
>> Yeah, I' I'd prefer not to have that. I
[1:32:51]
would prefer to put as much in the
[1:32:52]
ground as we can to preserve the
[1:32:54]
aesthetics of the entrance of the plane.
[1:32:56]
So those aesthetics are important to me
[1:32:59]
>> because that sounded like they were
[1:33:00]
going to do sort of like a split level
[1:33:02]
situation where they'd go down four feet
[1:33:04]
and so it would be up a little bit. I
[1:33:05]
think that could be screened in a way
[1:33:08]
and incorporated but I don't know. And
[1:33:11]
the real question is if you're okay with
[1:33:14]
that kind of of expansion, would you
[1:33:17]
want to limit that and say well you
[1:33:19]
absolutely can't do two layers. I guess
[1:33:22]
representations to this point are that
[1:33:25]
we're going to have but a lot of this
[1:33:27]
subterranean.
[1:33:28]
>> Mhm.
[1:33:29]
>> Um it's one thing if a good chunk of it
[1:33:32]
is subterranean and then whatever kind
[1:33:35]
of you don't need 8,000, you actually
[1:33:37]
need 10. Okay. That's different than
[1:33:40]
let's put in minimal subterranean which
[1:33:41]
is also more expensive,
[1:33:43]
>> right?
[1:33:43]
>> And then we start putting in double
[1:33:45]
deckers everywhere there's parking. That to me is a that's a different
[1:33:49]
>> the real idea is that you couldn't do
[1:33:52]
double-decker on the surface parking if
[1:33:54]
you haven't already built the
[1:33:56]
subterranean.
[1:33:57]
>> Yes. And I don't know how to articulate
[1:33:59]
the sub subterranean. [laughter]
[1:34:02]
>> Yeah. Well, I I think at this point I
[1:34:04]
thought sorry I thought you had a motion
[1:34:06]
already in mind. I think at this point
[1:34:08]
it's probably actually useful to hear
[1:34:09]
from the developer and they've heard
[1:34:11]
your concerns. Now, I think it'd be
[1:34:12]
useful for them to stand up and say,
[1:34:14]
"Here's what we think we can commit to
[1:34:16]
that would address the concerns we've
[1:34:18]
heard." The one thing I will say before
[1:34:19]
Brian stands up is that at one point we
[1:34:22]
had actually talked about having a
[1:34:24]
percentage of subterranean and a
[1:34:26]
percentage of um of surface. We went
[1:34:31]
with this pretty much for I like the 15
[1:34:34]
acres of of surface was intended to to
[1:34:37]
mean the same thing. We just didn't put
[1:34:39]
them both in. So, we could always go
[1:34:41]
back to that model, but Brian,
[1:34:43]
>> yeah, is there can um can we just back
[1:34:45]
up maybe a couple steps? I think these
[1:34:47]
are all really important questions to
[1:34:49]
consider. I think there's been quite a
[1:34:51]
bit of like movement in the project from
[1:34:53]
the original 10,000 cap to the 8,000.
[1:34:57]
And then I think the biggest change
[1:34:58]
that's happened in the last probably 3
[1:35:00]
weeks has been this idea, well, not 3
[1:35:02]
weeks, probably been a month and a half
[1:35:03]
now, but just the off-site parking. So
[1:35:05]
that's not really a concept that we
[1:35:07]
really even considered in the in the
[1:35:09]
language of the development agreement.
[1:35:11]
So I think if if there was a way for us
[1:35:13]
to conceptually take a step back and say
[1:35:15]
what is our commitment and what what do
[1:35:16]
we both expect? What does the city
[1:35:18]
expect and what we what are we
[1:35:19]
committing to? I think the first thing
[1:35:21]
is number one is that it will be
[1:35:22]
screened from the road. So that's an
[1:35:24]
incredibly important commitment. I think
[1:35:26]
that's already contained in the
[1:35:27]
development agreement.
[1:35:28]
>> So that's number one. Number two, um, as
[1:35:30]
we've talked about offsite, um, I do
[1:35:34]
feel like there's our hope would be that
[1:35:36]
we could add language in here that would
[1:35:37]
allow us to go below the the this the
[1:35:40]
55. We actually with Aaron I we
[1:35:42]
calculated 5180 was the based on the
[1:35:45]
square footage of the numbers that we
[1:35:46]
were just talking about because that's
[1:35:47]
what drives the parking. We actually
[1:35:49]
talked about 5180 being the minimum
[1:35:51]
requirement. We would love the ability
[1:35:53]
if we can find several thousand off-site
[1:35:55]
stalls to be able to reduce that below
[1:35:57]
the 5180 on-site. So, that's an
[1:36:00]
important component that we would we
[1:36:01]
would request the council to consider as
[1:36:03]
part of this conversation.
[1:36:05]
Um, and then thirdly, I think uh it's
[1:36:08]
this second this double-decker idea that
[1:36:09]
we've been talking about. Um, let me
[1:36:11]
make sure I'm really really clear on
[1:36:13]
that because I want to make sure I'm
[1:36:14]
understanding what your concerns are.
[1:36:15]
The idea would be that that would
[1:36:17]
effectively look like a surface parking
[1:36:19]
lot. So we would have surface parking
[1:36:21]
that would be at grade and then if we
[1:36:22]
were to put something like a double
[1:36:24]
decker if if for example after the after
[1:36:26]
the project or after the after vesper is
[1:36:28]
built we recognize we need another 500
[1:36:30]
stalls we would come in and lower that
[1:36:32]
parking stall probably 3 to 4 feet and
[1:36:35]
then build something on top of that. So
[1:36:36]
the effective height above ground would
[1:36:38]
be 3 to 4 feet. So my hope would be that
[1:36:41]
we could kind of lock in the
[1:36:42]
expectations on that to to Greg's point.
[1:36:45]
Like I I I wanted we need the ability to
[1:36:48]
expand that parking. That's very very
[1:36:50]
important for us. And so if there were
[1:36:52]
some design criteria that would allow us
[1:36:54]
then as long as we met that criteria to
[1:36:56]
build that additional parking that would
[1:36:58]
be our preference is to include that
[1:36:59]
language in there. So there would be a
[1:37:01]
way to say you know it cannot exceed you
[1:37:03]
know let's just say 5t above grade or
[1:37:05]
above the existing surface parking lot.
[1:37:07]
how it require us to go down in order to
[1:37:09]
get the height needed to build that
[1:37:10]
second story of parking. So, I would
[1:37:12]
love to make sure that's part of this
[1:37:13]
component. So, that's a long-winded
[1:37:15]
answer. I don't know that it
[1:37:16]
specifically addresses.
[1:37:18]
>> Well, can you that's helpful. Can you
[1:37:19]
speak to the uh parking garage and
[1:37:21]
subterranean?
[1:37:22]
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, um every stall that we
[1:37:26]
can get out of that parking structure
[1:37:27]
and put somewhere else is going to save
[1:37:29]
us a tremendous amount of money. So,
[1:37:31]
your concerns are warranted. They're
[1:37:33]
valid. um in order to get in order to
[1:37:36]
get the the parking that we need, we
[1:37:38]
have to do a subterranean and we are
[1:37:39]
motivated to do that because we need the
[1:37:41]
material that's coming out of that
[1:37:42]
mountain. Whoever said that, I think it
[1:37:43]
was Bill or maybe even Brian, but we
[1:37:45]
need that material in a desperate way to
[1:37:47]
build that to make it work. So, we are
[1:37:49]
very motivated to put it in that spot
[1:37:52]
and pull that material out. So, we are
[1:37:54]
committed, we will absolutely commit to
[1:37:55]
doing subterranean parking in that
[1:37:57]
location. How much and to what height?
[1:37:59]
We can't exceed the 70 uh the 50 I think
[1:38:02]
it's 50 50. Yeah, three stories or 50
[1:38:05]
ft. Um, so yeah, that's exactly right,
[1:38:07]
Jeff. So, we're we're we're able to
[1:38:09]
commit to that. Um, and if we need to go
[1:38:11]
down further, it would be above three
[1:38:13]
stories, but it would be down on the
[1:38:14]
ground. And so, that would not be
[1:38:15]
effective height in terms of um, so yes,
[1:38:18]
we are willing to make that commitment.
[1:38:19]
We're ready to make that commitment to a
[1:38:20]
subterranean. The distance from the road
[1:38:23]
becomes a little bit more problematic.
[1:38:25]
Um, we can't get super close to the
[1:38:27]
road, but I don't know exactly what that
[1:38:29]
spacing would be. But if we could maybe
[1:38:30]
leave a blank in there for the offsite,
[1:38:32]
the offset from the road to address
[1:38:34]
Becky's concern, I think that's valid. I
[1:38:36]
think we'd be willing to talk about both
[1:38:38]
a a subterranean like like Greg has
[1:38:40]
talked about and then an offset from the
[1:38:42]
road that Becky just talked about. And I
[1:38:44]
think 100 feet would be something that
[1:38:45]
we could commit to right now. Um, but uh
[1:38:48]
but we may need to go back and kind of
[1:38:50]
adjust those numbers down the road.
[1:38:51]
>> So that's a lot. So
[1:38:53]
>> two questions.
[1:38:53]
>> Yeah, please. with your subterranean.
[1:38:55]
Um, so that's at rock face,
[1:38:57]
>> right?
[1:38:58]
>> Is that rock face not over three stories
[1:39:02]
high?
[1:39:03]
>> Well, so the way that they measure the
[1:39:05]
street, so that height that 50 ft is
[1:39:08]
measured from the foundation of the
[1:39:09]
building.
[1:39:10]
>> So we could mess with the land.
[1:39:12]
[clears throat]
[1:39:12]
>> Exactly.
[1:39:13]
>> Yeah. So we could effectively go down
[1:39:15]
and that wouldn't impact where the 50 ft
[1:39:17]
starts, but our 50 ft design and you
[1:39:20]
correct me if I'm wrong, but it's from
[1:39:21]
where the foundation touches the
[1:39:23]
building. That's where our 50 height 50
[1:39:25]
foot height requirements starts.
[1:39:26]
>> We don't want you to waste like 20 feet
[1:39:28]
at the top.
[1:39:28]
>> Exactly. Exactly. No, we want to put the
[1:39:30]
parking structure in that same spot
[1:39:32]
>> so it doesn't go over 50 ft.
[1:39:34]
>> It will not go over 50. Yeah. Yeah. So
[1:39:37]
hopefully that's helpful as we talk
[1:39:38]
about. But and the motion I think that
[1:39:40]
we would be um you know readily willing
[1:39:42]
to commit to would be yes subterranean.
[1:39:44]
Absolutely. Um we would like to have the
[1:39:47]
language in there to be able to do the
[1:39:48]
surface parking as long as we don't
[1:39:50]
exceed some height. I think 5t is
[1:39:52]
reasonable. It doesn't make it look like
[1:39:53]
it's a second story or first story of
[1:39:55]
parking. And then we would have the
[1:39:56]
ability to go below the minimum required
[1:39:58]
parking. Again, these aren't all things
[1:40:00]
that we need a motion on today. We would
[1:40:02]
propose this. I don't want anybody here
[1:40:03]
to be uh surprised by anything we submit
[1:40:05]
in our next round, but that would be
[1:40:07]
something that we would really want to
[1:40:08]
include in there is to say that we could
[1:40:10]
do that second parking
[1:40:12]
>> parking
[1:40:13]
contract.
[1:40:14]
>> Yes. Yes, that's right. Yeah, exactly.
[1:40:17]
[clears throat]
[1:40:20]
» Okay. Okay. So, that's that's a good
[1:40:22]
point. So, um Spencer brings up the
[1:40:24]
point, is there any way to pull the
[1:40:25]
sideline again, Kevin?
[1:40:26]
>> But I don't think it matters if it's a
[1:40:27]
mountain.
[1:40:28]
>> Yes.
[1:40:28]
>> You don't care about that big setback.
[1:40:30]
>> I I think there's a there's a bridge
[1:40:31]
where you need a gap and I think um
[1:40:32]
Spencer's raised it well. Um the parking
[1:40:36]
structure location can I go up to the
[1:40:39]
map up there? The parking structure
[1:40:41]
location may um be closer than 100 ft.
[1:40:45]
Like for example, this setback right
[1:40:46]
here,
[1:40:46]
>> but that's where the rock is.
[1:40:48]
>> This setback right here. Whoa. This
[1:40:50]
setback right here. Does it kill you
[1:40:51]
every time? All right. That so that set
[1:40:53]
back right there maybe closer than 100
[1:40:55]
ft or Brian even on the corner down
[1:40:57]
below. That's what I'm talking you're
[1:40:59]
talking about right here. So this this
[1:41:00]
would be to to me it's got to be
[1:41:03]
something. I'm not sure where that 100
[1:41:05]
feet starts. But yes,
[1:41:06]
>> but you have the natural screen there.
[1:41:08]
Like we don't care about that.
[1:41:09]
>> We haven't that that to me is that's the
[1:41:11]
point Krice that I was trying to make.
[1:41:12]
>> We're talking about if you couldn't put
[1:41:13]
it there like then it's the wor any
[1:41:16]
exposed. Correct. Yeah. So like this
[1:41:18]
stuff over here. Yes. This is going to
[1:41:19]
be exposed. It's going to be visible.
[1:41:22]
And that's the piece that we would say
[1:41:23]
yes, we're going to meet that 100 foot
[1:41:24]
requirement. But if there's some part of
[1:41:26]
this parking structure that's within 100
[1:41:27]
foot setback that's not visible, then I
[1:41:30]
think we should be able to again my
[1:41:32]
request would be that we we're able to
[1:41:33]
encroach in that 100t.
[1:41:35]
>> Be careful with your terms because you
[1:41:36]
keep saying subterranean, but part of
[1:41:38]
that structure you'll be able to see all
[1:41:40]
three.
[1:41:40]
>> Yes. Yeah.
[1:41:41]
>> Right. Okay. Just want to make sure.
[1:41:43]
>> Well, you weren't reading the whole
[1:41:44]
thing.
[1:41:45]
>> That's why it's it's difficult to see
[1:41:47]
from this angle. um much more helpful to
[1:41:49]
actually see from the the great
[1:41:51]
elevation.
[1:41:52]
>> Yeah. Can we pull that one?
[1:41:54]
>> Because I I can't remember exactly where
[1:41:56]
the hillside is and
[1:41:57]
>> yes how that is that what you're
[1:41:59]
referring to.
[1:42:00]
>> So there's an elevation.
[1:42:01]
>> If you see the landscape one
[1:42:05]
should be it should be in that exhibit.
[1:42:06]
>> Those were the two that were
[1:42:08]
>> I think it uh it's it may not be in this
[1:42:10]
one. It's in the other one though for
[1:42:12]
sure.
[1:42:14]
>> Yeah. Yeah, the answer one that we just
[1:42:15]
submitted this last week.
[1:42:23]
» While he's looking for that, let me make
[1:42:25]
two comments. Uh, sorry, BL, you could
[1:42:27]
you were okay there. I was going to uh
[1:42:30]
the idea we've talked before about this
[1:42:32]
idea of reducing the the minimum
[1:42:35]
required below the code if there's
[1:42:37]
sufficient offsite. The one legal
[1:42:40]
problem with that is that the
[1:42:43]
development agreement can't exempt you
[1:42:45]
from code unless the exemption has been
[1:42:48]
before the planning commission. So I
[1:42:50]
think that I think I at least and I
[1:42:52]
expect the council is very open to that
[1:42:53]
idea. It will probably that particular
[1:42:56]
idea will probably require an amendment
[1:42:58]
to the development agreement in the
[1:42:59]
future just to address that issue or a
[1:43:03]
change to city code where we put
[1:43:06]
something like the TDM or a TDM overlay
[1:43:09]
back in and give them an exemption
[1:43:11]
through a code amendment. So, that's
[1:43:13]
probably going to have something that
[1:43:15]
won't
[1:43:16]
>> be able to be in here in two weeks.
[1:43:18]
>> That makes sense. Uh, and then the other
[1:43:20]
question is that I have for you while
[1:43:22]
you're while you're talking based on
[1:43:23]
what I heard counselor um Christensen
[1:43:27]
saying is
[1:43:29]
you talked about uh being willing to
[1:43:32]
commit to subterranean but it being very
[1:43:34]
important to uh have the ability to
[1:43:36]
build that upper deck. I think what what
[1:43:39]
I kind of hear counselor Christensen
[1:43:41]
saying is that ability to build the
[1:43:45]
upper deck might need to be contingent
[1:43:47]
not just on the height and the
[1:43:48]
screening,
[1:43:49]
>> but on the fact that the subterranean
[1:43:52]
meets some kind of certain limit. Like I think what I hear you saying is you
[1:43:56]
don't want them to build a one-story
[1:43:58]
subterranean parking garage, put a whole
[1:44:01]
bunch of spaces offsite, and then build
[1:44:04]
15 acres of double-decker surface
[1:44:07]
parking. Yeah,
[1:44:08]
>> correct.
[1:44:08]
>> So, for something for you to think about
[1:44:10]
as we talk through that,
[1:44:11]
>> I'd have to chew on that one for a
[1:44:13]
minute.
[1:44:13]
>> And again, I'm not I'm not expecting you
[1:44:15]
to know the answer here. I want to put
[1:44:18]
in your mind that I think that's what's
[1:44:19]
what something a concept that's probably
[1:44:21]
going to be in the motion when we get to
[1:44:22]
it.
[1:44:22]
>> Okay, Jeff has a question.
[1:44:24]
>> Uh more just a comment. Just did like
[1:44:26]
quick back the envelope math and you
[1:44:27]
could probably fit four to 5,000 parking
[1:44:30]
spots on 50 acres at three stories. So I
[1:44:33]
think that's like I again I'm not I well
[1:44:35]
I the representation
[1:44:37]
>> we talked about doing double decker so
[1:44:38]
maybe that's another limit that we the
[1:44:40]
overall limit is three stories but the
[1:44:42]
parking can't be three the surface
[1:44:44]
parking
[1:44:44]
>> yeah it's again I don't think we're
[1:44:45]
actually asking or talking about
[1:44:47]
anything other than what's being
[1:44:48]
represented it's just the challenge of
[1:44:49]
like hey this is more expensive than we
[1:44:51]
think
[1:44:52]
>> we have these other abilities to put 15
[1:44:54]
acres of triple deckers and we meet our
[1:44:56]
minimum parking requirement and I think
[1:44:58]
that would be not ideal outcome based on
[1:45:01]
what's being presented
[1:45:03]
Well, and wasn't the idea that the
[1:45:05]
double-decker parking would only be for
[1:45:06]
one of the lots, not for the one that's
[1:45:08]
up the hill?
[1:45:09]
>> Yeah, that's the other thing. It's only
[1:45:10]
supposed to be about surface talk,
[1:45:11]
correct? Not the up.
[1:45:12]
>> Correct. Yeah, the one the one up the
[1:45:14]
hill would be a lot harder to to make
[1:45:15]
that work. Um, these are all really good things that we need to kind
[1:45:20]
of think through. I don't know. I I I
[1:45:22]
guess if we can provide uh a motion that
[1:45:24]
allows us the flexibility to go back and
[1:45:26]
kind of analyze some of these things
[1:45:27]
because Craig, I hear you loud and clear
[1:45:29]
and that makes a lot of sense. So, we
[1:45:31]
would love to try to accommodate
[1:45:32]
something that seems reasonable, um,
[1:45:34]
while still allowing the flexibility
[1:45:35]
that we're that we're hoping to maintain
[1:45:36]
as we move forward and kind of finalize
[1:45:38]
those off-site stalls. Um, so, uh, I I
[1:45:42]
I'm just anxious to see it locked in.
[1:45:44]
>> Yeah.
[1:45:45]
>> Because what you're asking for is locked
[1:45:47]
in zoning.
[1:45:48]
>> Yeah.
[1:45:48]
>> And so, I think what I'm asking for is
[1:45:50]
the locked in um, capacity levels. So,
[1:45:54]
it's not up for debate. It's not up for
[1:45:56]
Yeah.
[1:45:57]
>> special assignment. that that's that's
[1:45:58]
our clear understanding as we go into
[1:46:00]
this.
[1:46:00]
>> Makes sense.
[1:46:01]
>> And I think uh you made an interesting
[1:46:03]
point of like just trying to be as
[1:46:06]
helpful here as possible is like you
[1:46:07]
said we may be open to the off-site
[1:46:09]
thing. Is that something worth taking a
[1:46:11]
motion on so that there's clear guid
[1:46:12]
like what's the best way to meet the
[1:46:14]
needs here of that point?
[1:46:16]
>> Um
[1:46:18]
I suppose it's helpful probably just for
[1:46:20]
the developer to know how the council
[1:46:22]
feels about it. I don't think because of
[1:46:23]
what I explained about the legalities of not being able to exempt them from
[1:46:28]
the code. I don't think we're making any
[1:46:29]
decisions about that. But if you think
[1:46:32]
but if the developer wants to know if we
[1:46:34]
come back in the future and we want to
[1:46:36]
be under the current minimums because we
[1:46:39]
have off-site parking, is that something
[1:46:40]
you're at this moment in time uh open to
[1:46:44]
c then a motion at least gives them an answer to that question. The reason
[1:46:49]
why I say that, and maybe I
[1:46:50]
misunderstood you, but it sounds to me
[1:46:52]
like that's potentially an important
[1:46:54]
piece to the puzzle for you. Yes, for
[1:46:56]
sure. On the financing side and making
[1:46:57]
this all pencil and so I would hate for
[1:47:00]
things to move forward under that
[1:47:01]
assumption and then for it to come back
[1:47:03]
later and us not to be supportive of
[1:47:04]
that idea generally. It's just because
[1:47:06]
of the issue with the planning
[1:47:08]
commission creating the the sequencing
[1:47:10]
problem.
[1:47:10]
>> Right.
[1:47:11]
>> Yeah. No, that's a great point. I think
[1:47:12]
>> Yeah, I agree. And so would we want to say that the the city council is
[1:47:17]
inclined to approve an agreement for
[1:47:21]
them to provide up to say 2,000 off-site
[1:47:24]
parkings. They would have to to provide
[1:47:27]
contracts and things like that to show
[1:47:29]
that they actually have that. Like how
[1:47:32]
would we
[1:47:32]
>> if if it was me, I probably wouldn't go
[1:47:34]
to that level of detail. I think I had
[1:47:36]
more in mind something along the lines
[1:47:37]
of a motion that says the council is
[1:47:39]
supportive of the idea about in the
[1:47:41]
future
[1:47:43]
some exemption from the minimum parking
[1:47:46]
requirements if those minimum parking
[1:47:48]
requirements have been offset through
[1:47:49]
off-site parking.
[1:47:51]
>> Oh, I like that.
[1:47:52]
>> More general. More general.
[1:47:54]
>> And then they get to come back with a
[1:47:55]
plan. You're just expressing your
[1:47:57]
support for the for
[1:47:58]
>> Right. And the plan would have the
[1:48:00]
details and information about where it
[1:48:02]
would be, contracts, shuttles, and
[1:48:04]
things like that. So that we would
[1:48:05]
believe that the plan is
[1:48:06]
>> right and and that's why I think I want
[1:48:08]
to keep it general because they've kept
[1:48:09]
saying they're working on all of these
[1:48:10]
ideas but they don't have any of them
[1:48:12]
nailed down. The ones they do have
[1:48:13]
nailed down maybe they can't share. So I
[1:48:15]
don't think that we're in a position yet
[1:48:17]
for them either to say how many they can
[1:48:20]
get or etc.
[1:48:22]
>> Right.
[1:48:22]
now we've got 1,000. So we could improve that significantly. So
[1:48:28]
>> well let's look at this on the flip
[1:48:29]
side. If they don't have enough parking
[1:48:31]
on site and they don't secure enough
[1:48:34]
parking somewhere else within the city
[1:48:36]
or or where would these people park
[1:48:39]
along I 89 over at the parks? I mean
[1:48:43]
where would they park?
[1:48:46]
>> Well, they're they're going to be bound
[1:48:47]
to meet city minimums unless they come
[1:48:49]
back for you and and satisfy you that
[1:48:52]
they don't need to. And even even if
[1:48:54]
that were the case, Becky, if we brought
[1:48:56]
an a proposal back to say we would like
[1:48:58]
to go below the minimum on site, the
[1:49:00]
5100 or 5200 stalls, we'd have to say
[1:49:02]
we're going to replace those elsewhere.
[1:49:05]
So there would still be that minimum
[1:49:06]
number of parking required to meet pro
[1:49:09]
city's ordinances.
[1:49:09]
>> I think what councelor Bogdan is just
[1:49:11]
suggesting is that if people choose not
[1:49:13]
to partake of those options because of
[1:49:15]
the friction involved, what are people
[1:49:18]
going to do alternatively? Park on the
[1:49:19]
side of the road. I think that's her
[1:49:21]
point. Is that right?
[1:49:23]
>> Yeah.
[1:49:24]
>> And that's on the flip side. And that's
[1:49:26]
a legitimate policy question about why
[1:49:29]
you might not support the proposal that
[1:49:31]
was just thrown out. So, which is now
[1:49:33]
why it's even more doubly important for
[1:49:35]
the motion to find out.
[1:49:37]
>> And that's [clears throat] why I want to
[1:49:38]
look at both sides is because if they
[1:49:40]
don't have them, I'm not sure that
[1:49:41]
they're going to not sell 20,000
[1:49:44]
tickets.
[1:49:46]
Are where would they park? Because I
[1:49:48]
mean, they obviously can walk. There's
[1:49:49]
going to be a trail. there's going to be
[1:49:50]
a place to to bike and go across. So, I
[1:49:54]
would say the first thing would be
[1:49:55]
public parking that would fill up, which
[1:49:56]
would be the parks across the street,
[1:49:58]
which you mentioned that you probably
[1:50:00]
would have to rent those out every time
[1:50:01]
to prevent that anyway.
[1:50:03]
>> Correct.
[1:50:04]
>> Is there parking allowed on both sides
[1:50:06]
of 189?
[1:50:07]
>> No.
[1:50:08]
>> They'll get a ticket if they do that.
[1:50:09]
>> So, where would be the next best place?
[1:50:11]
Go up a little bit further to another
[1:50:13]
park and park and then walk back down
[1:50:14]
the trail. I mean, are are we going to
[1:50:17]
create a problem if we don't have enough
[1:50:19]
parking on site that each one of our
[1:50:21]
parks going up the canyon is going to be
[1:50:23]
inundated with
[1:50:24]
>> We have to have enough parking or else
[1:50:26]
they can't sell the tickets.
[1:50:30]
» I think the next maybe viable option
[1:50:32]
would be somebody parking down in Orum
[1:50:34]
and walking on the Pearl River Trail up
[1:50:36]
to the up to the venue. Um
[1:50:39]
>> but still we're taking away public
[1:50:40]
spaces for a private event, right?
[1:50:43]
>> Yeah. It's like Yeah. But this this is
[1:50:45]
my point on why I felt like it would be
[1:50:46]
helpful to have the motion just to give
[1:50:49]
them clear direction because if that is
[1:50:51]
a concern of the council of like that
[1:50:53]
people like if that people are not going
[1:50:55]
to partake of the off-site options and
[1:50:57]
instead just kind of DIY it in ways that
[1:50:59]
are unhelpful then that is the crux
[1:51:02]
that's the crux of the question. I think
[1:51:04]
>> people do that for BYU games all the
[1:51:05]
time, right? You see them park in just
[1:51:07]
weird spots and then walk in it. And so
[1:51:09]
I I don't see this being any different.
[1:51:12]
>> Well, see the nature everywhere. I do
[1:51:14]
like the idea of Mama Choose selling out
[1:51:16]
their parking lot and letting people
[1:51:17]
walk though because like people do that
[1:51:19]
for football games, right? Like
[1:51:21]
>> $10 to park.
[1:51:22]
here. [laughter]
[1:51:23]
>> 10 spots aren't going to make much of a
[1:51:24]
difference.
[1:51:26]
>> I love moment shoes by the way. Shout
[1:51:27]
out to great local business. Yeah,
[1:51:29]
>> they might be more
[1:51:32]
[laughter]
[1:51:35]
tough balance we're trying to strike
[1:51:36]
because it feels like
[1:51:37]
>> totally because traffic is Yeah. The
[1:51:39]
concern has been we don't want the
[1:51:41]
vehicles of the canyon and it's hard to
[1:51:43]
ignore it. And so our our our proposed
[1:51:46]
solution was that that shuttles are a
[1:51:48]
great option. Hollywood Bowl and a lot
[1:51:50]
of other places use shuttles, you know,
[1:51:51]
extensively in their operations and
[1:51:53]
that's something that we would love to
[1:51:54]
propose because we think it's a very
[1:51:56]
viable alternative. I don't know that we
[1:51:58]
can uh I would hope that we don't
[1:52:00]
approve or not approve the project based
[1:52:02]
on what the DIYers are going to where
[1:52:04]
they're going to park. We've got to
[1:52:05]
figure out some patrolling with Provo
[1:52:07]
City. We've got to figure out patrolling
[1:52:08]
with Farm City. We've got to figure out
[1:52:10]
patrolling with Utah County. There's a
[1:52:11]
lot of folks that are involved and we've met with some of those folks um to
[1:52:15]
start those conversations. So, um we
[1:52:17]
can't really do much until the zoning is
[1:52:18]
done, but we need to it's a problem that
[1:52:20]
we've got to address. We've got to
[1:52:21]
figure it out.
[1:52:22]
>> And just understand from our from our
[1:52:25]
perspective
[1:52:25]
>> Yeah.
[1:52:26]
>> Um it's not about patrolling and
[1:52:28]
ticketing and towing. We deal with that
[1:52:29]
all the time. Yeah.
[1:52:30]
>> And you're swimming upstream. We don't
[1:52:31]
want to swim upstream. There needs to be
[1:52:33]
adequate parking.
[1:52:34]
>> Yeah. So, I would I would not be
[1:52:37]
inclined to say, "Well, let's get as
[1:52:39]
skinny as we can and hope the other
[1:52:40]
things work." Um because the the
[1:52:43]
creativity is boundless and we're just
[1:52:46]
going to swim upstream every time
[1:52:48]
there's a big event and let's not do
[1:52:50]
that.
[1:52:51]
>> Yeah. And I think it can be helpful too
[1:52:52]
as they're selling their tickets and
[1:52:54]
everything to have very clear
[1:52:56]
instructions about parking and shuttles.
[1:52:59]
>> Look, when it comes to parking, it's a whole different thing.
[1:53:02]
>> Yeah.
[1:53:03]
>> It's the wild west.
[1:53:04]
>> Yeah. But if they say if you want to be
[1:53:06]
able to park on site, you're going to
[1:53:07]
need to also buy your ticket to park on
[1:53:09]
site and otherwise look at doing the
[1:53:12]
shuttles or you know there's
[1:53:15]
>> Yeah. Okay. So, we made a motion though
[1:53:17]
that the council will
[1:53:21]
um
[1:53:23]
consider waiting that minimum parking
[1:53:25]
requirement if we are satisfied that
[1:53:28]
there is off-site parking.
[1:53:31]
Did what was your better language for
[1:53:33]
mine? [laughter]
[1:53:35]
>> Well, it's a good question. Now Jeff's
[1:53:38]
uh left. I mean, it depends on it
[1:53:41]
depends on how much of an inclination
[1:53:44]
you want to show. I mean, one option is
[1:53:46]
you can make a motion that just says
[1:53:47]
we're willing to consider a future
[1:53:49]
request for reducing uh the required
[1:53:52]
on-site parking if we're satisfied with
[1:53:55]
your off-site parking proposal. That
[1:53:57]
doesn't really say very much because
[1:53:59]
they can always bring that proposal
[1:54:01]
anyway. If you if you wanted if you're
[1:54:04]
again if it reflects your policy
[1:54:06]
desires, you could say we're excited to
[1:54:09]
receive such a proposal. But I I don't
[1:54:11]
know if that's really true or not. Um so
[1:54:17]
I I'd like to see an adequate parking,
[1:54:20]
right? So I don't want to I don't want
[1:54:22]
to I wouldn't vote or support anything
[1:54:23]
he says. And if you don't want to do it
[1:54:25]
and it doesn't work out, obviously if it
[1:54:27]
doesn't work, yes, they'll come back,
[1:54:29]
>> right?
[1:54:29]
>> Um, but I I don't feel a need to make
[1:54:32]
that kind of motion. Maybe others do.
[1:54:34]
>> I mean, at the end of the day, there
[1:54:35]
it's you're not really on this
[1:54:37]
particular issue, you're not deciding
[1:54:39]
anything right now other than whether
[1:54:41]
you're sending them a
[1:54:42]
>> a signal to keep working on it or not.
[1:54:44]
>> If there's not a total fail, it'll utter
[1:54:46]
disaster. cars,
[1:54:49]
>> frustration and more traffic and going
[1:54:52]
back and forth than other. So,
[1:54:57]
» Craig, did you want a motion about
[1:55:00]
limiting double-decker parking or
[1:55:02]
screening?
[1:55:04]
>> Well, I actually think I actually think
[1:55:05]
we covered it.
[1:55:06]
>> Okay.
[1:55:07]
>> Um because again, I don't I don't know
[1:55:10]
what to specifically to say. I just
[1:55:11]
expressed the concern. So, whatever they
[1:55:13]
come back with, uh that will be it.
[1:55:17]
But it but the but the idea of of uh
[1:55:22]
expanding and creating again as you go
[1:55:25]
in the canyon I don't want to look over
[1:55:27]
and see parking garages and I don't
[1:55:29]
think any of us do. So I don't know that
[1:55:31]
I need to make a motion. I think we've
[1:55:33]
been clear about that.
[1:55:34]
>> Well if you make a motion couldn't you
[1:55:35]
say they come back
[1:55:36]
>> concern
[1:55:37]
>> okay
[1:55:38]
>> that you come back in two weeks with a
[1:55:39]
proposal that doesn't have parking
[1:55:42]
garages everywhere. You could
[1:55:44]
>> be helpful. Yeah, I I think it would be
[1:55:45]
helpful uh I was going to say I not to
[1:55:48]
be pedantic. We can do a straw poll, but
[1:55:49]
I think it's helpful if you just make a
[1:55:51]
motion saying that you would like the
[1:55:53]
next draft to incorporate what has been
[1:55:56]
proposed and about addressing your
[1:55:58]
parking concerns. I think that
[1:56:01]
>> I make a motion to the next draft
[1:56:02]
incorporate what we've discussed about
[1:56:04]
uh subtraining parking and any kind of
[1:56:06]
visible parking
[1:56:08]
>> and the double-decker parking.
[1:56:10]
>> I would second that, Craig. All right.
[1:56:13]
Any discussion on the motion?
[1:56:18]
[laughter]
[1:56:21]
» Yes.
[1:56:21]
>> Councelor W. Councelor Christensen?
[1:56:24]
>> Yes.
[1:56:24]
>> Councelor Garrett?
[1:56:25]
>> Yes.
[1:56:25]
>> Counselor.
[1:56:27]
>> Yes.
[1:56:28]
>> Councelor Whipple.
[1:56:29]
>> Yes.
[1:56:30]
>> Okay. 7.
[1:56:32]
>> Perfect. Okay. We're twothirds of the
[1:56:33]
way through our time and a third of the
[1:56:34]
way through my materials. So, we're uh
[1:56:37]
Kevin, can you switch back to my
[1:56:38]
slideshow? I think most of the rest I
[1:56:41]
think we've hit some of the worst stuff,
[1:56:44]
but we'll see if
[1:56:45]
>> Good news is Brian, they are going to
[1:56:46]
come back. So, we can just say we're
[1:56:47]
going through this much. We'll go
[1:56:48]
through the rest of it.
[1:56:49]
>> And I do think that we
[1:56:52]
underestimated how much time this one
[1:56:53]
will take and overestimated how much
[1:56:55]
time the next one will take. So, we'll
[1:56:56]
but we'll see if I'm right about all of
[1:56:58]
that. Okay. So, we've talked about
[1:57:00]
vested caps, we've talked about parking.
[1:57:01]
So, conservation easement. This this is
[1:57:04]
a a hairy one that I want to try to
[1:57:06]
simplify down into something that
[1:57:07]
doesn't have to be discussed that much
[1:57:09]
right now. So, the conservation easement
[1:57:12]
paragraph is completely dependent on how
[1:57:16]
[snorts] much property the city sells
[1:57:18]
them, which has not been decided yet.
[1:57:20]
So, this paragraph is going to have to
[1:57:23]
change. So, I don't want you to get too
[1:57:25]
hung up on what it currently sells
[1:57:27]
because what it currently says is a
[1:57:29]
placeholder based on one idea for the
[1:57:32]
property transaction. that still has to
[1:57:33]
be decided. So, what it currently says
[1:57:35]
is if we sold them the entire 66 acres
[1:57:38]
that they would have to put at least 50%
[1:57:41]
of that into a conservation easement.
[1:57:44]
Some of the questions that were asked in
[1:57:46]
the council materials and that Vesper
[1:57:48]
responded to uh addresses some of the
[1:57:50]
concerns that have already been raised.
[1:57:52]
So again, not currently in here, but
[1:57:55]
already anticipated based on
[1:57:56]
conversations between Brian Bis and I.
[1:57:58]
Vesper's fine to specify in the
[1:58:01]
development agreement that the holder of
[1:58:03]
the conservation easement would be a
[1:58:05]
501c3 nonprofit dedicated to open space
[1:58:08]
preservation without necessarily picking
[1:58:10]
one. Uh that but it won't be a
[1:58:13]
commercial entity or or a subsidiary of
[1:58:15]
Vesper or anything like that. and
[1:58:17]
they're open to the idea of specifying
[1:58:21]
more thoroughly in this section of the
[1:58:23]
development agreement what the permitted
[1:58:25]
and prohibited uh uses of of the land
[1:58:30]
subject to the conservation easement
[1:58:31]
would be. Right? So those are all things
[1:58:33]
that they've already committed to
[1:58:35]
negotiating further, but whether we even
[1:58:37]
need to or not dep contingent upon
[1:58:40]
another decision about how much actually
[1:58:41]
gets sold because if we only sell them
[1:58:43]
33 acres, this whole paragraph just goes
[1:58:46]
away. Does that make sense?
[1:58:48]
>> Um, so
[1:58:49]
>> ask a question.
[1:58:50]
>> Yes, please.
[1:58:51]
>> Unilateral. The city will then have
[1:58:53]
unilateral, right? That means we could
[1:58:55]
we have absolute right to put in a
[1:58:57]
conservation.
[1:58:58]
>> Well, not to not to put in a
[1:59:00]
conservation ement. So the proposal is
[1:59:02]
to uh the application is to reszone the
[1:59:05]
entire property SC3.
[1:59:08]
This would say once conservation is done
[1:59:11]
or once construction of the trail system
[1:59:13]
is done, the conservation is easement is
[1:59:15]
in place, we can reszone the
[1:59:18]
conservation easement portion of the
[1:59:20]
property. OSPR, they can't object. They
[1:59:23]
we don't need an application from them.
[1:59:24]
We just reszone it.
[1:59:26]
>> Okay.
[1:59:26]
>> Why not do that at this time of closing?
[1:59:29]
>> Um
[1:59:29]
>> why the delay? Well,
[1:59:32]
>> I mean the the the flip side, the way I
[1:59:34]
think what you're proposing is
[1:59:35]
essentially actually change the reszone
[1:59:37]
application so that we don't reszone the
[1:59:40]
undeveloped part. Bill can correct me if
[1:59:43]
I'm wrong, but I think I think it propo
[1:59:45]
it it uh poses some problems to the
[1:59:49]
trail creation for the property to be in
[1:59:52]
the OSPR while the trails are being
[1:59:55]
built and the bathrooms are being built,
[1:59:58]
etc. That might that right?
[2:00:00]
>> How would those How would that be a
[2:00:02]
problem?
[2:00:05]
>> I'd have to look up. Let me look.
[2:00:08]
>> Is Is that accurate though? It creates
[2:00:09]
complications.
[2:00:13]
» Okay.
[2:00:13]
>> We we So, so that's something that's
[2:00:15]
that that's certainly another option.
[2:00:17]
That's something that we can look at. Uh
[2:00:19]
to the degree my anticipation and
[2:00:22]
Brian's kind of nodding his head, my
[2:00:23]
anticipation is that if you only run a
[2:00:25]
reszone Well, here's the other here's
[2:00:27]
the other part. Normally we reszone
[2:00:29]
entire parcels,
[2:00:31]
right? And right now it's all one part.
[2:00:33]
The the city piece is all one parcel. So
[2:00:37]
it would be unusual for us and a little
[2:00:39]
bit complicated to reszone through the
[2:00:43]
middle of a parcel. It's not that we
[2:00:44]
haven't ever done it before and we and
[2:00:45]
we theoretically, but
[2:00:47]
>> and why not the alternative of just
[2:00:48]
selling the land they need? Well, that that is entirely why I said let's not
[2:00:55]
worry about the details of this one too
[2:00:57]
much until that decision is made. But
[2:00:59]
that decision gets made later in the
[2:01:01]
other agreement.
[2:01:02]
>> Does that make sense? So when we get to
[2:01:04]
that when that
[2:01:05]
>> Okay. Yeah. The repsy you're talking
[2:01:06]
about.
[2:01:06]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When we get to
[2:01:08]
the repsy.
[2:01:09]
>> All right.
[2:01:09]
>> That might make this paragraph
[2:01:11]
completely moot.
[2:01:12]
>> Okay.
[2:01:12]
>> But as far as this is concerned, the b
[2:01:14]
the reveation is now and they're doing
[2:01:17]
the trail for sale,
[2:01:19]
>> right? 50% of conservation phase zero is
[2:01:21]
sale.
[2:01:22]
>> Yes. If we if we end up selling the
[2:01:24]
entire piece,
[2:01:25]
>> bathrooms don't.
[2:01:27]
>> Yep. Okay. Any any other questions about
[2:01:30]
the defensation section? Okay.
[2:01:35]
Uh let's see. And actually, I think they
[2:01:37]
had a couple slide. I threw in a
[2:01:40]
couple slides from what they this is
[2:01:42]
what they actually
[2:01:44]
put in their answers. No, this one
[2:01:46]
pretty much just repeats what the
[2:01:47]
concert what the development agreement
[2:01:49]
already says, but this is um and so so
[2:01:53]
does this actually. Uh so we've Brian
[2:01:56]
and I had a conversation after these
[2:01:58]
answers were submitted to the council.
[2:01:59]
That's when he talked to me about being
[2:02:01]
willing to specify that it's a nonprofit
[2:02:04]
and add some restrictions. Okay,
[2:02:08]
this paragraph we actually went over uh
[2:02:11]
a little while ago about the uh parking
[2:02:13]
garage. So, I won't dig into it in great
[2:02:16]
depth unless there's any but I'll leave
[2:02:18]
it up for a second for you to tell me if
[2:02:20]
there's any concerns about this
[2:02:22]
paragraph
[2:02:24]
>> and something starts happening that you
[2:02:26]
don't think is fits in this body. That's
[2:02:29]
Bill's team to notice that and say,
[2:02:31]
>> right? And so that's, you know, that's
[2:02:33]
the one
[2:02:35]
uh
[2:02:37]
is this specific enough? That's the
[2:02:39]
question for the council is, is this
[2:02:40]
specific enough
[2:02:42]
combined with the concept plan or do you
[2:02:46]
need something more specific than this?
[2:02:48]
>> So, how detailed is the concept plan in
[2:02:50]
terms of finishes and and building
[2:02:52]
materials and things like that? Well,
[2:02:54]
not not very uh would be my take on
[2:02:58]
that. Bill, uh Mr. Preparoni,
[2:03:02]
sorry, Terra's distracting him. He's
[2:03:05]
looking at the code. He's looking I'm
[2:03:07]
kidding. He's looking at the code for
[2:03:08]
us. Uh the concept plan doesn't show a
[2:03:12]
lot about finishes and it's more about
[2:03:16]
locations.
[2:03:16]
>> Right. Right.
[2:03:17]
>> Yeah. the residential plans. Again, we
[2:03:19]
have elevations
[2:03:21]
attached to the development agreement,
[2:03:22]
but since this is in a residential
[2:03:24]
development, it's not anticipated.
[2:03:26]
>> Yeah. So, could we anticipate that? I
[2:03:29]
mean, couldn't we include that? Building
[2:03:31]
materials, uh, finishes, all that. Uh,
[2:03:36]
is there a reason we couldn't include
[2:03:38]
that?
[2:03:38]
>> No.
[2:03:40]
>> Just the more that you included, less
[2:03:41]
flexibility they have,
[2:03:43]
>> right?
[2:03:44]
>> Yeah. Well, the the ch the challenge is
[2:03:46]
that to say um high quality Kenya
[2:03:49]
integrated destination environment that
[2:03:51]
will mean seven different things to
[2:03:52]
seven different people. Um I'd love to
[2:03:55]
see specifics on what is that? What does
[2:03:59]
that look like? Not just in terms of a a rendering, but also and there's three there's three different
[2:04:05]
ways of doing that. uh kind of in
[2:04:08]
increasing
[2:04:10]
restriction on um flexibility, right?
[2:04:14]
The one way is to the only thing that we
[2:04:17]
add is if there are materials that are
[2:04:19]
prohibited, you list those and say
[2:04:22]
whatever it is, it can't be this. That's
[2:04:25]
the most flexible while still being more
[2:04:27]
stricter than this. The next one is to
[2:04:29]
say we're not going to say exactly what
[2:04:31]
it has to be, but it has to be these
[2:04:34]
things, right? You have you give them a
[2:04:36]
list of what it it can be but not spec
[2:04:39]
and then the le the most restrictive and
[2:04:41]
least flexible and probably pretty
[2:04:44]
difficult for them at this point is to
[2:04:45]
say you got to show us pictures and
[2:04:47]
that's what it's going to be right
[2:04:49]
>> yeah
[2:04:51]
so I don't know if you have thoughts on
[2:04:54]
that range or those options but
[2:04:59]
>> yeah
[2:05:01]
[laughter]
[2:05:01]
>> and again this and this is one where it
[2:05:03]
would be very useful uh for
[2:05:05]
when we when we put together the uh
[2:05:07]
rivers and trails guidelines uh great
[2:05:10]
detail in terms of this kind of
[2:05:11]
material, this kind of wood, this kind
[2:05:12]
of that, this kind of that, this kind of
[2:05:14]
height and uh you know great detail to
[2:05:16]
create that the the right ambiance that
[2:05:19]
we were talking about. Uh of course we
[2:05:21]
don't want it to be ownorous, but what
[2:05:24]
is canyon integrated destination? What
[2:05:28]
is that? And so that actually seeing
[2:05:30]
that it's it's hard to say, yeah, of
[2:05:33]
course we don't want aluminum siding,
[2:05:35]
>> right?
[2:05:36]
>> Um but beyond that, it seems like some
[2:05:39]
detail would be helpful.
[2:05:40]
>> Yeah, I was going to say I don't know if
[2:05:41]
uh Bill or anybody on his team wants to
[2:05:44]
speak to it, but essentially at the end
[2:05:46]
of the day, that means what they think
[2:05:49]
it means.
[2:05:51]
>> Dale, our city
[2:05:53]
standards for
[2:05:56]
>> Brian wanted to make a comment. Is that
[2:05:58]
okay?
[2:06:00]
>> This is what we're talking about whether
[2:06:02]
this is specific enough.
[2:06:03]
>> I guess I'm just thinking because it
[2:06:06]
says natural materials and natural
[2:06:07]
design elements must be substantially
[2:06:08]
incorporated in the finished product,
[2:06:10]
including meaningful use materials such
[2:06:12]
as wood, stone, glass, and other
[2:06:13]
materials of similar quality and
[2:06:15]
character. They have to be designed to
[2:06:17]
respond to the site's topography, views,
[2:06:19]
and mountain setting. I mean, it keeps
[2:06:21]
going here. Is there something in this?
[2:06:24]
doesn't hold the developer to
[2:06:26]
anything then. It seems like it would.
[2:06:27]
>> It It does. I mean, it does, but that
[2:06:29]
but the question is, is it specific
[2:06:31]
enough for the council to
[2:06:32]
>> I just don't know if if they've
[2:06:35]
Okay. Yeah, look at that. And I think
[2:06:37]
this would be where to start, not
[2:06:38]
necessarily the
[2:06:41]
design plan. I don't I don't know. Yeah.
[2:06:42]
If there's going to be changes, would
[2:06:44]
this be the place where they would do it
[2:06:45]
then? [clears throat]
[2:06:46]
>> Yes. I think that's exactly what we're
[2:06:47]
proposing is the question for the
[2:06:49]
council is, do you want this paragraph
[2:06:51]
to be more specific than it is?
[2:06:54]
Yeah.
[2:06:56]
>> Can I may they maybe mention something?
[2:06:58]
>> Yeah.
[2:06:58]
>> Um Kevin, I don't know if you have
[2:07:01]
access to our application, but in the
[2:07:04]
original application, it went through
[2:07:05]
and kind of identify each one of the
[2:07:07]
different uses. So, it talked about
[2:07:08]
hotel, it talked about the amphitheater,
[2:07:10]
it talked about the materials, and it
[2:07:12]
gave specific exhibits of what we were
[2:07:14]
talking about. um as as design and
[2:07:18]
architecture changes again I don't think
[2:07:20]
it's going to change that much in two to
[2:07:21]
three years but you just look at how
[2:07:23]
architecture changes every 10 years it
[2:07:25]
seems like there's kind of a whole new
[2:07:26]
wash of of of architectural elements and
[2:07:28]
components that are important to people
[2:07:30]
um we want to be sensitive to that but I
[2:07:32]
think that provides a good baseline and I would maybe if there was a way to
[2:07:37]
reference those exhibits we spent quite
[2:07:39]
a bit of time on those we would love to
[2:07:41]
incorporate those into this plan if that
[2:07:43]
gave enough specificity
[2:07:45]
>> they
[2:07:46]
Yeah, they are. And Kevin, do you do you
[2:07:47]
by chance have that? It's our actual
[2:07:49]
original application and I haven't
[2:07:52]
>> sources. So, let's just make sure that
[2:07:54]
next time.
[2:07:55]
>> It's it's in the slide. I can pull that
[2:07:57]
up in the next round if if we want to
[2:07:59]
just look through those pictures.
[2:08:00]
>> Are you interested in seeing it or are
[2:08:02]
you just interested in the idea that
[2:08:03]
they're willing to incorporate it
[2:08:05]
>> to see it? I mean, at some point we're
[2:08:06]
going to want to see it,
[2:08:07]
>> right? You're gonna see it
[2:08:09]
if there's a a consensus of Yeah. that,
[2:08:12]
>> right? Uh because again everything we talked about sound great
[2:08:16]
sound very sass very but again uh this
[2:08:19]
doesn't do it for me
[2:08:21]
>> right you don't want that to be replaced
[2:08:22]
with cardboard covered in stock
[2:08:24]
>> that's right and again uh even that
[2:08:28]
paragraph right there means a lot of
[2:08:30]
different things so if we got pictures
[2:08:32]
and we've already gone through that yeah
[2:08:34]
that's
[2:08:35]
>> right yeah I mean I don't think it means
[2:08:36]
that but you're
[2:08:39]
[laughter]
[2:08:39]
>> but it's open to some interpretation
[2:08:41]
okay So I think I'm going to move on
[2:08:44]
with the general idea that you're okay
[2:08:45]
with the idea of those things being
[2:08:47]
incorporated and that those things are
[2:08:48]
going to be in the next draft when you
[2:08:50]
see the next draft so that you can say
[2:08:52]
this is okay sufficient enough. Okay.
[2:08:56]
So we'll move on to
[2:09:03]
» okay there we go. So there's a paragraph
[2:09:05]
about dark sky and signage. Uh must be
[2:09:08]
designed to be dark sky compliant to the
[2:09:10]
extent reasonly possible. Uh I I suppose
[2:09:14]
I guess I would say in addition to this
[2:09:17]
um
[2:09:19]
the
[2:09:21]
new lighting standards are going to be
[2:09:22]
in place and they have to be com and
[2:09:25]
they have to be compliant with the code.
[2:09:26]
So that what was talked about earlier
[2:09:29]
today will already be in place and
[2:09:32]
binding as well.
[2:09:34]
even if they submitted this application
[2:09:36]
before Matt's spot.
[2:09:39]
>> Yes, because there's a paragraph uh
[2:09:42]
there's a paragraph elsewhere in the
[2:09:44]
development agreement in the boilerplate
[2:09:46]
that talks about like
[2:09:49]
um about the code in place at the time
[2:09:52]
the development agreement is approved.
[2:09:54]
So, it's not like you can change the
[2:09:56]
code forever and ever and ever, but uh
[2:09:59]
and we can be more specific about that
[2:10:01]
too if if we need to. I guess the
[2:10:02]
question is um
[2:10:05]
>> please do
[2:10:06]
>> okay yeah as well I I suppose the the
[2:10:09]
biggest question for moving the
[2:10:10]
conversation along is as long as that's
[2:10:11]
explicit that those standards are
[2:10:13]
binding any other concerns or comments
[2:10:15]
about this paragraph
[2:10:17]
>> council
[2:10:18]
>> um just some dumb questions like would
[2:10:21]
this permit a big electronic billboard
[2:10:24]
sign or like a sign
[2:10:26]
>> well uh
[2:10:27]
>> something along the lines of like what
[2:10:28]
we see on University Avenue going
[2:10:31]
here. Well, I mean that's already not
[2:10:34]
permitted,
[2:10:35]
>> right?
[2:10:36]
>> So, so no, I mean this specifically says
[2:10:40]
that they're subject to uh the city sign
[2:10:44]
code,
[2:10:44]
>> but there are peritted like we do allow
[2:10:46]
Yeah, we do allow electronic signage.
[2:10:48]
There's just
[2:10:49]
>> those code sections do not allow
[2:10:50]
electronic signs. That's why those code
[2:10:52]
reference.
[2:10:52]
>> Okay, great.
[2:10:53]
>> Okay, so we have I didn't know we had so
[2:10:55]
many out of compliance signs in the
[2:10:57]
city.
[2:10:59]
So Brian, help me with help me with dark
[2:11:03]
sky
[2:11:04]
to the extent reasonably possible. When
[2:11:06]
is it not reasonable to be compliant
[2:11:10]
in this?
[2:11:11]
>> Um, great question and the kind of why I
[2:11:14]
was trying to punt this with my comment
[2:11:16]
about the other code provision being
[2:11:18]
applicable. Uh, because if the other
[2:11:19]
code provision is applicable,
[2:11:21]
>> it will address
[2:11:22]
>> then then that addresses it and this
[2:11:23]
sentence kind of becomes meaningless.
[2:11:25]
Uh, I think that is up to at the end of
[2:11:28]
the day, it's up to
[2:11:30]
Bill's team in approving an application.
[2:11:34]
The application is going to have a
[2:11:35]
lighting plan in it. The developer is
[2:11:37]
going to have to say, "Here's this one
[2:11:40]
light that for safety reasons needs to
[2:11:42]
be this way." And Bill says, "Oh, that's
[2:11:45]
a reasonable deviation." And if not, he
[2:11:48]
doesn't approve it.
[2:11:50]
>> Bill, do you want to add anything to
[2:11:51]
that? Well, and and dark sky compliant
[2:11:54]
could be that general idea of dark sky.
[2:11:56]
So, we have adopted a particular version
[2:11:58]
of that to be our city code. And so
[2:12:01]
>> tonight
[2:12:02]
>> or we will be
[2:12:04]
>> we may
[2:12:05]
>> by the time this comes to it we may have
[2:12:07]
adopted
[2:12:08]
>> and in fact and in fact I think that's
[2:12:10]
actually a really the point I just made
[2:12:11]
I actually think is a really important
[2:12:13]
point for thinking about the process
[2:12:14]
because I think a lot of the public
[2:12:17]
perception of the development agreement
[2:12:20]
has focused around once they screw up
[2:12:23]
how do we use the development agreement
[2:12:25]
to claw them back but in actuality
[2:12:28]
the development agreement is about the
[2:12:31]
guidelines that Bill's team will use to
[2:12:33]
approve the permitting applications
[2:12:35]
before they build. So, if they're not in
[2:12:38]
compliance with the development
[2:12:39]
agreement, they're not going to get to
[2:12:40]
build the screw up. Does that make
[2:12:42]
sense?
[2:12:45]
>> So, just one more question on the on the
[2:12:47]
signage um billboard like an uplit
[2:12:51]
billboard. Would that be permitted here?
[2:12:52]
>> No. Uh if it said come see the battery
[2:12:56]
boys.
[2:12:57]
>> No more billboard.
[2:12:57]
>> Okay. Well, it would just have to be
[2:13:00]
within the knit the knit limit we just
[2:13:03]
are looking at.
[2:13:04]
>> It would have to be within the knit
[2:13:05]
limit. It' have to be within the size
[2:13:07]
limitations for that zone and area. It'd
[2:13:10]
have to meet all of the lighting
[2:13:12]
requirements. I don't know off the top
[2:13:13]
of my head what it is. I would say just
[2:13:15]
for purpose of this discussion, it
[2:13:16]
wouldn't be a billboard because a
[2:13:18]
billboard a billboard means advertising
[2:13:21]
off premises stuff which wouldn't be
[2:13:23]
allowed. That's just flat out
[2:13:24]
prohibited. So, it could only be a sign
[2:13:26]
that that uh advertises their shows,
[2:13:30]
[clears throat] what they're offering on
[2:13:31]
site. Bill could speak to better what
[2:13:33]
the code allows than I can, but those
[2:13:36]
code sections are very restrictive. The
[2:13:38]
SC3 zone is very permissive. That's why
[2:13:40]
we went in and particularly exempt out
[2:13:44]
the provisions of the SC3 zone by those.
[2:13:48]
are very restrictive.
[2:13:49]
>> Okay.
[2:13:51]
>> I may mention a few things. Um, so one
[2:13:55]
of the things that will be important for
[2:13:56]
us is to be able to advertise who the
[2:13:58]
performers are and those will obviously
[2:13:59]
change every week. Um, and so the
[2:14:01]
electronic signage there's there's um
[2:14:04]
there's brightness requirements and
[2:14:07]
there are um the frequency of changing
[2:14:10]
requirements so you can't change it like
[2:14:11]
every 10 seconds because that's going to
[2:14:12]
really distract ours coming down the
[2:14:14]
canyon. But having an electronic sign
[2:14:17]
there to to to let people know what
[2:14:19]
performers are coaching is an important
[2:14:20]
component to this. So it it it is not
[2:14:22]
like uh we're not planning on using it
[2:14:24]
to you know advert it's not a billboard
[2:14:26]
you know there might be hit the merch is
[2:14:28]
you know open or the restaurant's open
[2:14:30]
for these hours but it's mainly here the
[2:14:31]
performers and we kind of float through
[2:14:33]
those I think it's every 30 seconds and some of those requirements are not
[2:14:37]
just for city it's also do so those U do
[2:14:39]
requirements we've got to also meet
[2:14:41]
those requirements as well but we it is
[2:14:42]
important that we do have an electronic
[2:14:44]
sign up there
[2:14:44]
>> but isn't that contrary to what was just
[2:14:46]
said
[2:14:46]
>> yeah I thought yes that's not allowed
[2:14:48]
>> the electronics have to make some
[2:14:50]
exception what he wants because I don't
[2:14:52]
know and I knew the signage was going to
[2:14:53]
be a big deal and now we can
[2:14:55]
>> so that's why we
[2:14:57]
>> and that's why I just wanted to make
[2:14:58]
sure we are all
[2:15:00]
about this
[2:15:01]
>> let's uh we were pretty explicit about
[2:15:03]
making sure we would have the ability to
[2:15:04]
do I think it was a 75 foot square foot
[2:15:06]
75 square foot electronic sign so Bill
[2:15:09]
if that's not accurate we will
[2:15:11]
absolutely need to change that because
[2:15:12]
that's going to be something that's very
[2:15:13]
important
[2:15:14]
>> I'm not open to that not in the county
[2:15:16]
I'm I'm open I'm not open to
[2:15:20]
Are you open to Greg? Electric sign.
[2:15:22]
>> No, I have problem that too. Um
[2:15:24]
>> well like think about Snowbird and they have wooden signs. They don't have
[2:15:31]
a huge big
[2:15:33]
>> snow solitude,
[2:15:35]
>> right? Um but they also I mean
[2:15:37]
performing the performance venue
[2:15:39]
perspective. I guess my hope would be
[2:15:42]
it's not like we're it's not a it's not
[2:15:45]
a casino. Um, it's something that allows
[2:15:47]
us to put in, you know, you according to
[2:15:49]
UDOT's requirements, we can put in a
[2:15:51]
small electronic sign to be able to
[2:15:52]
advertise who's coming through there.
[2:15:54]
So, it's very low-key and, uh, again, I
[2:15:56]
realize this may not be super popular
[2:15:58]
with the with the council. U, that's
[2:16:00]
something that's really, really
[2:16:01]
important to us, uh, to be able to say
[2:16:03]
Bruno is coming or, you know, whoever it
[2:16:05]
is that's going to be coming. So,
[2:16:06]
>> no, the mall has one that's under UD do
[2:16:08]
requirements and they it's a problem. I would not be supportive of it in any
[2:16:13]
way, shape, or form. If UD do is control
[2:16:15]
of it or not,
[2:16:16]
>> how is it a problem? What in what ways
[2:16:17]
is it a problem? We fix those problems
[2:16:19]
on Vesper.
[2:16:21]
>> I don't know because it's an enforcement
[2:16:22]
problem.
[2:16:23]
>> Yeah.
[2:16:24]
>> And it's a huge enforcement problem.
[2:16:27]
>> The turn it's a huge problem.
[2:16:29]
>> Yeah. And we don't we don't we don't
[2:16:31]
want to be a problem. Well, obviously
[2:16:32]
from a safety perspective, that's
[2:16:33]
something that's incredibly important
[2:16:34]
for us. But, you know, again, I don't
[2:16:37]
know how we let people know who's coming
[2:16:38]
to the venue. um having an electronic
[2:16:40]
sign even if it's a minimal sign that's
[2:16:43]
very you know bland or you know boring
[2:16:45]
colors or whatever it's going to take to
[2:16:46]
make sure it's not a distraction we have
[2:16:48]
to have the ability to put that out
[2:16:50]
there so that's something that's really
[2:16:51]
important for us
[2:16:54]
>> councelor McKay chair mcc
[2:16:59]
» I just want to better understand your
[2:17:00]
concern is your concern any sign or is
[2:17:03]
it because the mall sign is not
[2:17:06]
>> you are absolutely right that that is
[2:17:08]
not in compl liance with anything. So,
[2:17:11]
um, if the sign were in compliance,
[2:17:16]
would it still be a problem for you or
[2:17:19]
is it that you're worried it will be out
[2:17:20]
of compliance? I just want to better
[2:17:21]
understand your concern.
[2:17:23]
[sighs and gasps]
[2:17:26]
» I wouldn't want anything electronic in
[2:17:27]
the mouth of the canyon at all. Period.
[2:17:30]
And I was addressing his concern of we
[2:17:32]
have certain things in play that UD do
[2:17:35]
has rules and standards and I'm like no
[2:17:37]
they may have those but it's it's an
[2:17:39]
enforcement problem.
[2:17:41]
>> It has been.
[2:17:42]
>> So if it's Right. So what I'm I'm just
[2:17:44]
wondering is it the enforcement that's
[2:17:46]
the problem or is it just any sign in
[2:17:48]
general?
[2:17:49]
>> I think any sign in general of the
[2:17:50]
county would be
[2:17:51]
>> Yeah. I I would weigh in as well. Um you
[2:17:54]
UD do is no comfort to me at all.
[2:17:57]
uh especially since it's in the canyon.
[2:18:01]
Uh that's part of the challenge of
[2:18:02]
having this in the canyon. So yeah, any kind of electronic I think is
[2:18:07]
problematic. Not necessarily the
[2:18:08]
enforcement, but I don't think it meets
[2:18:11]
the aesthetic of the cane.
[2:18:12]
>> Yeah,
[2:18:12]
>> that's the challenge.
[2:18:14]
>> Is are there design elements that we
[2:18:16]
could try to work through with the
[2:18:17]
council to find some solution to that?
[2:18:20]
Because again, having somebody with the gas station guy with the sign, you
[2:18:23]
know, going putting the letters and
[2:18:24]
numbers, that looks very unprofessional.
[2:18:26]
Um, but I don't know how else we would
[2:18:28]
advertise who's coming to the site other
[2:18:30]
than online, which is where most of the
[2:18:32]
work's going to be done anyway, but
[2:18:33]
something very kind of muted, you know,
[2:18:36]
not bright, not not loud, but something
[2:18:38]
that allows
[2:18:39]
>> Have you se Have you seen the remarkable
[2:18:41]
pad that people use and they write on it
[2:18:44]
looks like a book
[2:18:45]
>> like and people buy it so they can get
[2:18:48]
this?
[2:18:49]
>> That's an electronic device. So, it's
[2:18:52]
something like that where we don't have
[2:18:54]
to actually pay somebody to walk out and
[2:18:57]
put up letters.
[2:18:58]
>> But see, that's that's different. A
[2:19:00]
muted black and white and gray that's
[2:19:02]
different than a color sonic.
[2:19:05]
>> Perfect. So, I think that's where I'm
[2:19:06]
trying to get to is
[2:19:08]
>> it's it maybe isn't the electronic
[2:19:11]
that's the problem as much
[2:19:13]
>> the radiant light,
[2:19:14]
>> the aesthetic. Yeah. Aesthetics of it.
[2:19:16]
So, maybe we can come back. May maybe
[2:19:19]
you guys can make a motion that would
[2:19:21]
say, you know, this is kind of what we
[2:19:23]
want. And then we can come back with
[2:19:25]
some ideas of what that sign would look
[2:19:27]
like, but we definitely don't want a
[2:19:30]
>> a big colorful sign flashing backstreet
[2:19:33]
boys and their colorful stuff. We're
[2:19:35]
just trying to be able to advertise
[2:19:37]
without sending an employee.
[2:19:38]
>> Jeff, I'll make that exemption. Well,
[2:19:40]
because the biggest thing in our like
[2:19:42]
[laughter]
[2:19:43]
I think I think there's also just a to
[2:19:45]
your I think there's just a question too
[2:19:46]
about those code that reference code on
[2:19:49]
what our definition of electronic is
[2:19:51]
because as of right now it's actually
[2:19:54]
not what we're saying in this meeting
[2:19:55]
that's operative it's that code that's
[2:19:57]
operative
[2:19:58]
>> right so what
[2:19:59]
>> and that's why I want to pull everyone
[2:20:01]
to the code so if Kevin could pull up
[2:20:03]
143810
[2:20:05]
>> well
[2:20:06]
>> subsection 3
[2:20:07]
>> can I because we're so short on time I
[2:20:09]
have a I have an alternative idea.
[2:20:11]
>> Okay.
[2:20:11]
>> I think this is the first that most of
[2:20:13]
us are hearing explicitly that
[2:20:17]
electronic sign is is anticipated.
[2:20:19]
>> Yes. Yeah.
[2:20:20]
>> So rather I think than delve into what
[2:20:22]
the the development agreement currently
[2:20:24]
says and what our code currently says.
[2:20:26]
It seems to me like the two avenues are
[2:20:29]
if the majority of the council is no
[2:20:31]
matter what no matter no how no way
[2:20:34]
there will be no electronic signs then a
[2:20:36]
motion to say that right now and get
[2:20:37]
that on the table would be great.
[2:20:39]
Alternatively, what I'm hearing is I
[2:20:42]
think that in the next version of the
[2:20:43]
development agreement, the developer
[2:20:45]
needs to make an explicit proposal that
[2:20:48]
allows them to do what they want to do
[2:20:50]
that they think will satisfy your
[2:20:51]
concerns and you'll review that when
[2:20:53]
they've submitted it. That that I think
[2:20:55]
is probably the better option than
[2:20:57]
trying to dig into what the agreement in
[2:20:59]
the code says right now.
[2:21:00]
>> But if that's the case, enforcement is
[2:21:03]
still a problem, right? I mean, we can't
[2:21:05]
get anything done with that mall sign.
[2:21:07]
We haven't been able to do it for years.
[2:21:09]
>> Which mall sign?
[2:21:10]
>> The big one on the freeway that turns
[2:21:12]
really fast and is too bright. And
[2:21:14]
>> you talk about the Provo Mall.
[2:21:16]
>> Yeah. Provo Town and Center Mall.
[2:21:18]
>> Yeah.
[2:21:19]
>> Well, um
[2:21:21]
>> Yeah. I don't know that I I think that
[2:21:23]
sound I think that sounds reasonable.
[2:21:24]
>> Yeah.
[2:21:25]
>> Um again,
[2:21:26]
>> yeah, you've heard our concerns. No
[2:21:29]
electronic. I I not even like colors,
[2:21:32]
but if it was muted, if it was in how
[2:21:34]
it's presented, that would make a
[2:21:37]
difference to me. Again, I would want
[2:21:38]
the venue to be successful. I I don't
[2:21:41]
want it to even look remotely like the
[2:21:44]
mall or like Vegas or anything like
[2:21:46]
that. that and we we all say that but it
[2:21:50]
has to show up specifically in I think
[2:21:52]
we have to be taking specific renderings
[2:21:55]
that
[2:21:56]
>> and the reason I wanted to bring up the
[2:21:57]
code is what it's referred to says
[2:22:00]
animated signs are prohibited so no
[2:22:03]
animations at all and even for this area
[2:22:07]
if they use an electronic display one
[2:22:09]
they can't do any short hold time
[2:22:12]
electronic displays where this is
[2:22:14]
located. Yeah, we've looked at this
[2:22:16]
pretty extensively, Rachel, to Rachel's
[2:22:18]
point, and that's that's important for
[2:22:20]
us. Having the ability to do electronic
[2:22:22]
sign is important for us again.
[2:22:24]
>> So, like some of the things that we're scared of, Bill has already put in
[2:22:28]
by this reference to the code that would
[2:22:30]
make it so that would not happen.
[2:22:33]
>> Yeah, exactly.
[2:22:35]
>> No, we're we're saying we're saying that
[2:22:37]
what the ordinance says is what we're
[2:22:38]
comfortable with living.
[2:22:40]
>> Oh,
[2:22:40]
>> that that says that we can do electronic
[2:22:41]
signs in the ordinance. That's why we
[2:22:44]
>> But what what is short hold though?
[2:22:46]
Because
[2:22:47]
>> short hole I think is defined by a
[2:22:48]
certain amount.
[2:22:49]
>> Is it defined? Because what I heard you
[2:22:51]
saying you want some ability to to
[2:22:52]
rotate through like 30 seconds, a
[2:22:54]
minute, 2 minutes.
[2:22:56]
>> But but I think what I'm reading there
[2:22:57]
is that it could it just has to be what
[2:22:58]
it is for a long period of time. But it
[2:23:01]
pretty sensibly. If we can just move on,
[2:23:03]
I think
[2:23:05]
that and that's why I said I think it's
[2:23:06]
up to them to say this doesn't work for
[2:23:08]
us. Yeah,
[2:23:09]
>> we'll figure out what their restrictions
[2:23:11]
are and they'll tell us what they can
[2:23:12]
and can't live with and then we'll
[2:23:13]
decide whether you can or can't live
[2:23:14]
with that. But
[2:23:15]
>> I I just think it's useful for us to
[2:23:17]
know what the restrictions are in this
[2:23:19]
current development agreement.
[2:23:21]
>> Yeah.
[2:23:22]
>> And
[2:23:22]
>> but what you read also doesn't seem to
[2:23:26]
address some of the concerns expressed
[2:23:27]
by the council on colors and and
[2:23:31]
color.
[2:23:32]
>> Yeah. Can I make one more mention just
[2:23:35]
with on the language? Sorry, I'm I'm
[2:23:37]
jumping around. Do we want to make a
[2:23:39]
motion on that part or or should I jump
[2:23:41]
to my next?
[2:23:42]
>> I I think we've covered one.
[2:23:44]
>> I I think at this point my view of this
[2:23:46]
one is we don't need a motion. My view
[2:23:48]
is you now know what their concerns are
[2:23:50]
and you know what you need. So you
[2:23:52]
propose something to fix that meets
[2:23:54]
both.
[2:23:54]
>> Perfect. My only comment was just on the
[2:23:56]
extent reasonably possible on that first
[2:23:58]
line, the end of that first line. Brian,
[2:24:00]
you were asking about that earlier.
[2:24:01]
>> Yeah.
[2:24:02]
>> Um again that there's some spotlight
[2:24:04]
requirements and performances. there's
[2:24:06]
some, you know, some other lighting
[2:24:08]
things that don't meet the dark sky
[2:24:09]
compliant criteria in order to run a
[2:24:12]
successful venue.
[2:24:12]
>> But you're talking about the stage
[2:24:15]
itself, right? Not the
[2:24:17]
>> parking lot or whatever. So, that's
[2:24:18]
something that we just that I think that
[2:24:20]
would be something else we would want to
[2:24:21]
be explicit about.
[2:24:22]
>> Okay. And the only reason why I'm saying
[2:24:24]
that is to say that language is in there
[2:24:26]
for a reason. Yeah. We wouldn't want to
[2:24:27]
take it out because there are uh
[2:24:29]
extenduating circumstances that would
[2:24:31]
make Yeah. for certain under certain
[2:24:33]
criteria requirements. And now that
[2:24:35]
we've got this new dark skies ordinance
[2:24:37]
that was talked about earlier in the
[2:24:38]
meeting, I think instead of just saying
[2:24:40]
reasonably possible, I think we need to
[2:24:42]
specify.
[2:24:43]
>> Yes.
[2:24:43]
>> Uh the the lights that don't fall into
[2:24:46]
that category must be compliant and the
[2:24:49]
lights that do fall into that category,
[2:24:52]
we're going to tell we're going to say
[2:24:53]
what they are.
[2:24:55]
[clears throat]
[2:24:55]
>> Okay. All right. Um
[2:24:59]
>> there you go.
[2:25:00]
>> Okay. We talked about this one already
[2:25:03]
uh when we were talking about parking
[2:25:05]
earlier. Any concerns about this
[2:25:07]
particular language? Uh this one I don't
[2:25:11]
know that there's again I may have been
[2:25:12]
over inclusive about what I uh included.
[2:25:16]
I'm not aware of any at this point
[2:25:18]
address uh comments and concerns about
[2:25:21]
this. This just says they have to
[2:25:23]
provide all the utility and
[2:25:24]
coordination. They've got to apply
[2:25:26]
they've got to comply with all the
[2:25:27]
standards for sewer connections etc. Um,
[2:25:32]
and that they've got to repair stuff
[2:25:33]
that they tear up to put in the
[2:25:36]
utilities.
[2:25:37]
>> I have a question that involves this
[2:25:39]
infrastructure.
[2:25:40]
>> Yeah.
[2:25:40]
>> The
[2:25:42]
>> Does your price that you put in your
[2:25:44]
stuff include the infrastructures
[2:25:46]
include or is the price you gave just
[2:25:48]
what's on your property
[2:25:50]
>> or does it include all the road
[2:25:51]
infrastructure?
[2:25:57]
» Interchange.
[2:25:58]
>> No, not that. So, UD do it does include
[2:26:01]
the overpass, but it does not include
[2:26:03]
improvements uh on 800 North. So, we we
[2:26:06]
still aren't sure exactly what UD do is
[2:26:08]
going required, not required. We've gone
[2:26:10]
everywhere from it's okay the way that
[2:26:11]
it is to there's a lot of things that
[2:26:13]
need to be done. So, we're trying to
[2:26:14]
figure out what those requirements are
[2:26:16]
and those weren't included either.
[2:26:17]
>> They require it. This includes all your
[2:26:19]
public work stuff.
[2:26:20]
>> All the public work, all the utilities,
[2:26:23]
all the water, all the
[2:26:25]
>> correct. Yeah. all the on-site stuff as
[2:26:28]
well as the overpass and unique
[2:26:30]
utilities.
[2:26:32]
>> And are you planning on
[2:26:35]
are any of these utilities you're doing
[2:26:38]
going to be assets for another
[2:26:40]
development found or is it all yours?
[2:26:44]
>> Um there would be some share in water
[2:26:47]
infrastructure. Water just the nature of
[2:26:49]
water and how it works is it's kind of
[2:26:50]
built in loops and so there would be
[2:26:52]
other benefits that other developments
[2:26:54]
would have as well as other parts of the
[2:26:55]
city. I I couldn't talk into specifics.
[2:26:58]
Gordon Gordon could probably address
[2:26:59]
those. But yeah, there there is some
[2:27:01]
benefits there that other folks will
[2:27:03]
benefit from. Um the sewer might be
[2:27:05]
another one where we would build
[2:27:06]
capacity in the main line coming up to
[2:27:09]
Vesper. Once it peels off to go up to
[2:27:10]
Vesper, it would be just for our site,
[2:27:12]
but the size and the capacity the
[2:27:14]
capacity of the of the pipe would be a
[2:27:16]
lot larger. We're dealing with stuff up
[2:27:18]
the road uh at some point down the road
[2:27:22]
up the can at some point down the road.
[2:27:24]
But
[2:27:25]
>> was that something they had to end up
[2:27:27]
paying for 100% and there's no
[2:27:29]
>> so the development that we had the
[2:27:31]
annexation filling the tank and they're
[2:27:34]
paying part of it that development part
[2:27:36]
of it. So there are shared costs.
[2:27:38]
There's also the sewer line in Canyon
[2:27:41]
Road that we've talked about being
[2:27:43]
undersized. They're going to upsize
[2:27:45]
that. That'll help everybody up and down
[2:27:47]
the street. So there are things that
[2:27:49]
they're going to do that to help a whole
[2:27:50]
bunch of people across this. Well, and
[2:27:53]
didn't the packet say that they had that
[2:27:55]
statemandated what is it 15 years that
[2:27:58]
if anybody hooks into it, then they have
[2:28:00]
to pay a portion of it and that goes
[2:28:01]
back.
[2:28:02]
>> They have a planer agreeing somebody
[2:28:05]
stuff they get some reimbursement and
[2:28:06]
that will work
[2:28:07]
>> and it ends at 15 years. So, somebody
[2:28:09]
builds
[2:28:11]
>> so somebody builds an 11year thing.
[2:28:13]
>> It's our agreement that we have with
[2:28:15]
them and it's a 10year process.
[2:28:17]
>> Do we deal with that with impact fees or
[2:28:19]
do they put a check to them?
[2:28:22]
um they'll be paying some impact fees,
[2:28:24]
but they'll be going into some
[2:28:26]
improvements, but this is a pioneering
[2:28:28]
agreement that if somebody uses this
[2:28:30]
line, they pay enough shared cost for
[2:28:32]
those other improvements.
[2:28:34]
>> Thanks,
[2:28:38]
» All right. Uh,
[2:28:41]
keep going.
[2:28:43]
>> I was just going to say
[2:28:45]
I'm now Kevin has the building materials
[2:28:48]
that were included in the application in
[2:28:50]
the concept
[2:28:53]
that
[2:28:54]
>> Do you want to see them now or do you
[2:28:56]
want to see them as part of the draft?
[2:28:58]
>> I think we probably cover enough.
[2:28:59]
>> Yeah,
[2:29:02]
>> draft.
[2:29:03]
>> Okay. All right. So
[2:29:06]
we move moved through a couple ones fast
[2:29:08]
and now we're going to slow down again
[2:29:09]
probably. So here is the paragraph about
[2:29:12]
sound mitigation and hours says that
[2:29:14]
they must use commercially reasonable
[2:29:16]
efforts to incorporate uh sound
[2:29:18]
attenuation and noise mitigation
[2:29:19]
technologies and that they have to t uh
[2:29:22]
terminate their events no later than 11
[2:29:25]
p.m. Sunday through Thursday and
[2:29:26]
midnight Friday through Saturday.
[2:29:28]
There's been lots of discussion about
[2:29:29]
this one and
[2:29:31]
>> I want to change it to 10 pm Sunday
[2:29:33]
through Thursday and 11 days.
[2:29:36]
>> I I was going to put this up just while
[2:29:38]
we're talking. This was the response
[2:29:40]
that they submitted to that question uh
[2:29:42]
in the council packet just so you have
[2:29:44]
that for your reference while you're
[2:29:47]
talking.
[2:29:47]
>> Yes.
[2:29:48]
>> Extra language.
[2:29:49]
>> Yes.
[2:29:51]
>> Um
[2:29:54]
my concern is commercially reasonable.
[2:29:58]
Why why wouldn't we say specific decimal
[2:30:00]
levels at the property line at their
[2:30:03]
closest residence line or why wouldn't
[2:30:05]
we use specific things like that? Well,
[2:30:08]
uh I mean to a certain extent we already
[2:30:10]
do because we already have a noise
[2:30:13]
ordinance that does say what the decibel
[2:30:14]
levels are at the property line. Uh the
[2:30:18]
question is whether that is subject to a
[2:30:21]
future exemption. Right? Right. I mean
[2:30:22]
the stadium for example the football
[2:30:24]
stadium is exempted from those decibel
[2:30:27]
levels. So there absent anything to the
[2:30:31]
contrary those decibel levels that are
[2:30:33]
already in the code apply
[2:30:35]
>> those could be except
[2:30:37]
>> but the council could decide to change
[2:30:39]
those at any time or the administration
[2:30:42]
actually can grant exemp uh special
[2:30:44]
event exemptions to those uh dustful
[2:30:46]
levels. So great question and I I think
[2:30:48]
that I'm going to turn it over to Brian.
[2:30:51]
I think the answer I anticipate him
[2:30:54]
saying is that they don't know what
[2:30:56]
those would be yet. But
[2:31:00]
>> um so if you'll Craig maybe by example
[2:31:03]
by way of example can you just flip to
[2:31:05]
the next slide. So these are all the
[2:31:08]
different venues that we looked at and
[2:31:11]
this is an example of how each one of
[2:31:13]
them looks at these curfews a little
[2:31:14]
differently.
[2:31:16]
>> And then you take this
[2:31:17]
>> I was going to say but you're
[2:31:19]
>> No, we're talking about sound. Okay,
[2:31:20]
>> I just wanted to use this, I guess, as
[2:31:22]
an example to say commercially
[2:31:24]
reasonable standard. The language that
[2:31:26]
was included in there was there for a
[2:31:28]
reason because just as varied as you see
[2:31:30]
the operating kind of curfew times are
[2:31:32]
for different venues across the country,
[2:31:35]
it is infinitely more complicated when
[2:31:36]
it gets to sound. Sound um is based on
[2:31:39]
the receptors, the distances of those
[2:31:41]
receptors, the topography, how you deal
[2:31:43]
with the technology. There's an infinite
[2:31:46]
number of solutions. We don't know what
[2:31:47]
those solutions right now. I would love
[2:31:50]
to be able to say we could go take a
[2:31:51]
speaker blast at 110 dB and give you
[2:31:54]
guys the answer. We can't. It doesn't
[2:31:56]
work that way. We have already been
[2:31:58]
engaged significantly with um like
[2:32:00]
worldrenowned experts on you know on um
[2:32:03]
on acoustics and sound uh technology.
[2:32:06]
And so um our proposal would be that we
[2:32:08]
are bound by the ordinance today as it
[2:32:11]
reads and then we would come in and make
[2:32:13]
a proposal to you to say hey this is
[2:32:15]
what we're looking at. This is how other
[2:32:17]
places do it. This is what Red Rocks
[2:32:18]
does. this is what the Hollywood Bowl
[2:32:20]
does. This is what all of these folks
[2:32:21]
do. Well, we would only do that once we
[2:32:23]
have once we're once we're armed with
[2:32:24]
the information necessary to be able to
[2:32:26]
have that meaningful conversation
[2:32:28]
because we have to nail it. It's really, important for us. We want to be
[2:32:32]
good neighbors to everybody around us,
[2:32:34]
including Provo City and all of our
[2:32:35]
neighbors. So, it's important that we
[2:32:37]
get this right and we don't have those
[2:32:38]
answers right now. So, a lot of that is
[2:32:41]
dependent on things I've already
[2:32:42]
mentioned, including the screening as
[2:32:43]
sound goes off site, as it migrates off
[2:32:45]
site. there's a lot of really important
[2:32:47]
topographical challenges or
[2:32:49]
opportunities I guess I should say um as
[2:32:51]
the sound blitters away from those big subwoofers and it blasts into
[2:32:55]
the hillside that sound travels upward
[2:32:58]
as opposed to uh our neighboring uh
[2:33:00]
property owners and anything that does
[2:33:02]
travel to those neighboring property
[2:33:03]
owners gets hit by other topographical
[2:33:05]
features whether that be mountains or
[2:33:07]
you know other things. So there's a lot
[2:33:09]
that we do know there's a lot that we
[2:33:11]
don't know and we will come to you when
[2:33:12]
we're ready to make a proposal about
[2:33:13]
what that looks like. There will be a
[2:33:15]
tremendous amount of monitoring. All the
[2:33:17]
things that if you could flip back now,
[2:33:18]
Brian, all of those things that we feel
[2:33:20]
like were important for us to commit to,
[2:33:22]
we've committed to and they're in here.
[2:33:24]
Um I I again, there's part of me that
[2:33:27]
wishes we could give more, but we're not ready to do that right now
[2:33:30]
until we go pay for the the design. We
[2:33:32]
know what the stadium looks like. We
[2:33:33]
know what the screening looks like. We
[2:33:34]
know what the technology looks like. We
[2:33:36]
know what all these things look like.
[2:33:39]
So, Council Christians, I guess
[2:33:41]
following up on that and just stating it
[2:33:43]
as my opinion, I guess I would say I
[2:33:44]
think you're right to call this out. I
[2:33:46]
think this paragraph is essentially just
[2:33:47]
a placeholder, right? It's a placeholder
[2:33:50]
to say we're going to be working on
[2:33:52]
these things and we're going to do the
[2:33:54]
best we can. Now, it's not the only
[2:33:56]
thing that applies to them. And that's
[2:33:57]
where I come back to the sound
[2:33:58]
ordinance. It's a placeholder because
[2:34:01]
unless they get exempted from the sound
[2:34:03]
ordinance, they're going to have to meet
[2:34:04]
it. My guess as a non-total non-expert
[2:34:06]
is even if they do this, they probably
[2:34:09]
can't meet the sound ordinance. So I
[2:34:12]
think so my expectation is they're going
[2:34:14]
to come back to you with a proposal for
[2:34:16]
how they need to be exempted from the
[2:34:18]
sound ordinance with the answers to all
[2:34:20]
the questions that you're asking right
[2:34:21]
now. Does that make does that make
[2:34:23]
sense?
[2:34:26]
» No. No. I'm not talking about I'm not
[2:34:28]
talking about I see what you're saying.
[2:34:30]
for the settle orders, they're not going
[2:34:32]
to keep it.
[2:34:33]
>> Well, I'm not I'm not but when I'm
[2:34:35]
talking about exemp exemptions, I'm not
[2:34:37]
talking about administrative exemptions.
[2:34:39]
I'm talking about the council changing
[2:34:41]
the code
[2:34:43]
>> in the way that
[2:34:44]
>> to include them,
[2:34:45]
>> but they can bypass that
[2:34:47]
>> the way that we got an exemption for the
[2:34:49]
stadium,
[2:34:50]
>> right? But they can just go get an
[2:34:51]
administrative exception. They will beat
[2:34:54]
us. You know what I mean? Like it's
[2:34:56]
>> I'm trying to remember if there's a
[2:34:58]
seems to me like there's a limit on uh
[2:35:01]
>> like there's businesses right now that
[2:35:03]
don't keep us out rules and they get
[2:35:05]
exempted.
[2:35:08]
>> Well, ex I mean there's two different
[2:35:09]
questions there. Are you talking about
[2:35:11]
proactive exemptions or are you talking
[2:35:12]
about a code enforcement issue? Um
[2:35:16]
the proactive exemptions we could
[2:35:19]
certainly address, right? Um I I think
[2:35:23]
there's a limit on how many times a year
[2:35:25]
those can be granted. But if not, one
[2:35:28]
possibility is we do modify this so that
[2:35:32]
to rule that out. Uh, one of the other
[2:35:34]
things Brian and I talked about, and
[2:35:35]
again, I'll just throw this out there
[2:35:37]
because I don't know how satisfactory it
[2:35:39]
is, is to put in a little bit more
[2:35:41]
detail about what they intend to do, and
[2:35:44]
instead of just saying commercially
[2:35:45]
reasonable, say something like are going
[2:35:49]
to conduct the following studies, turn
[2:35:51]
the reports over to the city for review,
[2:35:54]
and follow the recommendations of the
[2:35:56]
experts in those studies kind of thing.
[2:35:59]
That that would be a way to beef it up
[2:36:00]
without coming to a number.
[2:36:06]
Uh just following up on councelor
[2:36:07]
McCay's question like
[2:36:10]
some examples how how are they dealt
[2:36:12]
with today? Like for example BYU games
[2:36:16]
rooftop concert series like what's the
[2:36:17]
difference between like a code I'm not
[2:36:19]
super familiar with our sound code at
[2:36:20]
the moment but like a code codified
[2:36:23]
exemption versus a one-off
[2:36:24]
administrative exemption.
[2:36:25]
>> So rooftop is one-off exemptions. BYU
[2:36:28]
stadium and all sports fields in the
[2:36:30]
city are permanent exemptions uh for
[2:36:35]
uh not e extra mural regularly scheduled
[2:36:38]
athletic activities. So the football
[2:36:40]
stadium is exempted by code rooftop is
[2:36:44]
administrative.
[2:36:45]
>> Okay. Thank you.
[2:36:51]
So, we went to a concert and it was
[2:36:53]
raining
[2:36:55]
and in order to extend it, they got an
[2:36:56]
exemption from the city to extend it
[2:37:00]
past the curfew hours, right? So, is
[2:37:02]
that also an exemption that we offer?
[2:37:06]
But, so even if we did put a curfew
[2:37:07]
down, they could still extend it past
[2:37:09]
there. What What is our parameters in
[2:37:12]
that?
[2:37:13]
>> Scott,
[2:37:15]
>> it really does go by event. It seems
[2:37:18]
like the most noise ordinance exceptions
[2:37:21]
I get are related to onampus BYU events
[2:37:26]
and the sometimes they will go to 11:00
[2:37:31]
would be that's probably the latest one
[2:37:33]
I've ever seen you know but there there
[2:37:36]
is no rule of thumb because it really
[2:37:37]
comes in from each different
[2:37:41]
event you know a lot of them will happen
[2:37:43]
within our code compliant but they have
[2:37:45]
some type of amplification even during
[2:37:48]
U well you would say like the 5 to n
[2:37:50]
hours but they still need to get an
[2:37:53]
exemption for that amplica amplification
[2:37:55]
or the music that are part of it too.
[2:37:58]
Councelor Bogn before you go on one
[2:38:00]
clarification though the exemption
[2:38:02]
allowed in the code is to exceed the
[2:38:05]
sound limitation hours not to engage in
[2:38:08]
a use that's prohibited after a certain
[2:38:11]
time.
[2:38:11]
>> Okay.
[2:38:12]
>> So so that would not apply to extending
[2:38:14]
the events.
[2:38:17]
Wait.
[2:38:19]
>> So this this says flat out they can't
[2:38:22]
have events after these times. Not you
[2:38:25]
can't have loud events after these
[2:38:27]
times. If this said you can't have loud
[2:38:29]
events after these times that could be
[2:38:31]
granted an exception by the code but the
[2:38:34]
co the code provision that allows the
[2:38:35]
exceptions. It doesn't say
[2:38:39]
any I don't have let's say bounce house
[2:38:40]
parties were illegal after 10:00 in
[2:38:43]
different part of the code. The the code
[2:38:45]
provision we're talking about doesn't
[2:38:47]
say that the administration can let
[2:38:48]
bounce house parties go on later. It
[2:38:50]
says it can let the sound levels be
[2:38:53]
exceeded later, which is a different
[2:38:54]
question.
[2:38:55]
>> So, it's still the same thing. It's
[2:38:56]
still a sound exemption is what you're
[2:38:59]
saying.
[2:39:00]
The problem necessarily isn't the sound
[2:39:04]
as much as it is the vibration, right?
[2:39:07]
>> Yeah. The vibration of everything.
[2:39:10]
People can't necessarily hear it
[2:39:12]
auditorially, but they can feel it. It's
[2:39:14]
what they can feel. It's what their dogs
[2:39:15]
feel. It's what their babies feel. It's
[2:39:17]
when their their TV screens bouncing off
[2:39:20]
the wall and they're freaking out or the
[2:39:24]
it's pulsating their windows and they're
[2:39:26]
afraid it's going to break. Those those
[2:39:28]
are the problems that aren't necessarily
[2:39:30]
controlled by our sound ordinances.
[2:39:32]
So, to me, it's it's it's a whole gamut.
[2:39:35]
It's
[2:39:36]
>> the people that are living up the canyon
[2:39:38]
or up the canyon and the
[2:39:43]
It's the car that you fill next to your
[2:39:45]
Gemini.
[2:39:46]
>> Yeah.
[2:39:48]
>> So, it's DBC is the term that they use
[2:39:52]
to measure that. And so, that would be
[2:39:54]
one of the requirements that we would
[2:39:56]
talk about managing and mitigating in
[2:39:59]
those events. So, you have DBC is the
[2:40:00]
low base, the really loud vibrating
[2:40:03]
frequency. So, those would all be things
[2:40:05]
that we would need to propose and
[2:40:06]
provide, you know, accurate solution
[2:40:08]
score as we move forward. Yeah, but we are concerned about that. Becky, I I
[2:40:12]
guess one of the things that we do look
[2:40:14]
at at sound in terms of sound is the
[2:40:16]
closest resident is about 2/ird of a
[2:40:18]
mile from us and that's the folks that
[2:40:20]
just are right around the corner. Um
[2:40:22]
>> you can feel that from
[2:40:25]
>> Yeah,
[2:40:25]
>> you can feel it for more than twothirds
[2:40:28]
of a mile. That stuff travels. It's not
[2:40:30]
necessarily what they can hear, it's
[2:40:32]
what they feel,
[2:40:33]
>> right? Further than the sound. and
[2:40:36]
you've got Sierra Shell and you've got
[2:40:38]
um you've got Eustan, you've got a lot
[2:40:39]
of places that are that are close. So,
[2:40:41]
it's it's a matter of making sure we're
[2:40:43]
accurately addressing the sound
[2:40:45]
concerns. We have me the ability to
[2:40:47]
measure it all of those receptors,
[2:40:48]
especially in Orum. We know what that
[2:40:50]
sound is. We know what the decibb are so
[2:40:52]
that we're making sure we're making sure
[2:40:53]
we're in compliance and that we're
[2:40:55]
measuring all the different aspects of
[2:40:57]
the sound. The DBC, I think it's da is
[2:40:59]
the higher frequency sounds. Uh DBA.
[2:41:02]
Yeah. And then we've got um
[2:41:06]
uh I think those are the two main ones.
[2:41:08]
And then the and then the LQ is another
[2:41:09]
way that they kind of measure the impact
[2:41:11]
of sound on other folks. So those would
[2:41:13]
all be things that we would need to
[2:41:14]
address, you know, down the down the
[2:41:15]
road once we have the design complete.
[2:41:17]
>> And where you're on the border of Provo
[2:41:18]
and ORM, would you have to get the same
[2:41:21]
kind of variance from Orm City that you
[2:41:24]
do from Provo? Would you have to do both
[2:41:26]
of those extension permits?
[2:41:28]
>> Just Provo because you're in Provo. So
[2:41:31]
the sounds that go to orum
[2:41:34]
would just be okay because even though
[2:41:38]
it it doesn't meet their stuff because
[2:41:40]
you have an exclusion in provoke.
[2:41:41]
>> Yeah, we wouldn't be we wouldn't be
[2:41:43]
required to follow their standards, but
[2:41:44]
I would guess that we'll we'll Yeah.
[2:41:47]
Um, but I I think one of if if there
[2:41:51]
were stronger language to include in
[2:41:53]
here with regard to the process, you
[2:41:56]
know, like like Brian talked about, that
[2:41:58]
was something that we did kind of
[2:41:59]
explore. Um, and we're happy to do that
[2:42:02]
or it's like we're kind of kicking the
[2:42:04]
can down the road on the sand because we
[2:42:06]
don't have a limb or just because we
[2:42:07]
don't have the design. Um, so however
[2:42:08]
the council wants to kind of uh address
[2:42:11]
that, we're happy to try to accommodate
[2:42:12]
if it were more of a process driven um,
[2:42:16]
uh, requirement in the development
[2:42:18]
agreement or maybe both. Maybe it's
[2:42:20]
process driven about who we hire, how we
[2:42:22]
engage them, what the results would be,
[2:42:24]
how that information would be shared
[2:42:25]
with city, how we would be bound to
[2:42:27]
those things. We're going to do that
[2:42:29]
anyways. Um, we've got to make sure we
[2:42:31]
hit the requirements for performers as
[2:42:32]
they come and that we can meet their
[2:42:33]
requirements as well. So that's an
[2:42:35]
important incredibly important component
[2:42:37]
for the project. So if that was helpful
[2:42:39]
to put the process driven things in here
[2:42:41]
as well as we've got to come back about
[2:42:43]
the ordinance that would be yeah
[2:42:45]
whatever whatever works best for post
[2:42:48]
>> I like what you suggested.
[2:42:49]
>> Go ahead.
[2:42:50]
>> I like what suggested as far as a
[2:42:52]
process like it has to be a sound study
[2:42:53]
eventually and then how things can be
[2:42:56]
mitigated and we be able to know how it
[2:42:58]
hits our residents
[2:43:00]
and if there needs to be anything done
[2:43:02]
or not. Maybe there won't be,
[2:43:04]
>> but we need to know. We need to stop
[2:43:06]
now.
[2:43:08]
Christian,
[2:43:09]
>> um I I think the process is helpful. Uh
[2:43:14]
it's the results that matter. Um if you
[2:43:17]
live next to the stadium, it's loud. And
[2:43:21]
what is that? 9 12 times a year, 15, I
[2:43:24]
don't know. It's a handful. It's not
[2:43:26]
every week. It's not multiple times a
[2:43:27]
week. And so the significance of this in
[2:43:31]
terms of sound, I love the idea of
[2:43:32]
process, but in my mind there there's
[2:43:35]
got to be results in terms of measurable
[2:43:37]
things. So and let's find out from other
[2:43:39]
venues what's reasonable and let's then
[2:43:41]
articulate, okay, the decel, the DCA and
[2:43:44]
the DBAs, here's what they are, and
[2:43:46]
that's what this is going to be. But not
[2:43:49]
to have that um I I if I'm a citizen,
[2:43:53]
I'm thinking you dropped the ball. Uh,
[2:43:56]
the sound the sound is a big deal. The
[2:43:58]
light's a big deal. We've already talked
[2:43:59]
about the light, but um I I'm not
[2:44:02]
comfortable with just process. I'd be
[2:44:04]
more comfortable with some results in
[2:44:06]
terms of what are the what are the
[2:44:08]
parameters?
[2:44:09]
>> Well, they can't test what's not built.
[2:44:10]
So, can we put it in and then test it
[2:44:12]
and then do a decision? Well, we can do research on what do other
[2:44:17]
venues that are close to uh you know
[2:44:21]
homes that are in general
[2:44:23]
uh what what are they what are they
[2:44:25]
using and I would hope it's better than
[2:44:28]
just uh reasonable best commercially
[2:44:31]
reasonable here here's the concern uh we
[2:44:34]
want this to be successful so bump it
[2:44:37]
make make it happen make it work we've
[2:44:38]
got a lot invested as the city the
[2:44:40]
developers do and that does not lend it
[2:44:42]
to lend itself to being judicious about
[2:44:46]
are we overstepping
[2:44:48]
what's prudent for our citizens. That's
[2:44:50]
my concern.
[2:44:51]
>> Mhm.
[2:44:55]
» Oh, go ahead.
[2:44:56]
>> Uh, sorry. I want to go.
[2:44:58]
>> Well, I I just wanted to again this this
[2:45:00]
would be one where I think it'd be
[2:45:01]
really important for a motion. Uh, and I think the issue is
[2:45:06]
um in my mind the issue is are you okay
[2:45:10]
with kicking down the can down the road
[2:45:12]
knowing that there are already standards
[2:45:14]
in place or do the or the or does it
[2:45:16]
have to be answered now? I think that's
[2:45:18]
the the what I would want guidance on as
[2:45:22]
far as working with the developer on
[2:45:24]
>> those standards.
[2:45:26]
It's like
[2:45:28]
65 during the day or I mean it's really
[2:45:31]
low. That's why I say I think in my view
[2:45:35]
I think you probably
[2:45:37]
>> you probably can't meet the current
[2:45:39]
requirements. You're probably going to
[2:45:40]
have to come back to propose a text
[2:45:42]
amendment to the council in the future.
[2:45:44]
>> It's 70 for all other areas besides your
[2:45:47]
residential during daytime.
[2:45:49]
>> Okay. And lower during the evening. It's
[2:45:52]
correct 65.
[2:45:53]
>> It was after 10 o'
[2:45:55]
and specific for entertainment venues.
[2:45:59]
It even with exemptions, it can't go
[2:46:02]
above 105.
[2:46:03]
>> Yeah.
[2:46:04]
>> Brian, is this one of your gates? One of
[2:46:06]
your 10 gates.
[2:46:08]
>> No, this isn't this isn't a g I mean,
[2:46:10]
it's not a gate for the transfer of the
[2:46:12]
property. It's a gate for reme we didn't
[2:46:16]
even we haven't even gotten to this yet
[2:46:17]
but remember that we have talked about
[2:46:18]
previously that there are provisions
[2:46:20]
later that we will hopefully get to
[2:46:22]
about the fact that if they don't
[2:46:24]
commence or finish construction we can
[2:46:26]
unzone the property. So in my and again
[2:46:29]
all of this is a package deal. So in my
[2:46:30]
mind what this actually does this is
[2:46:33]
really and again I acknowledge this to
[2:46:35]
begin this is essentially a statement of
[2:46:36]
intent. Uh what but in practice the way
[2:46:40]
that this would work if you're not
[2:46:42]
satisfied with it is in well let me back
[2:46:44]
up. Logistically what I see happening is
[2:46:47]
they're going to go do their sound study
[2:46:49]
after they know that they've got the
[2:46:50]
reszone and and it's worth spending the
[2:46:53]
money to do the sound study. They're
[2:46:55]
going to come back with the sound study
[2:46:56]
and they're going to say we think that
[2:46:58]
it needs to be 110 and here's why and
[2:47:02]
here's what 110 looks like. And I'm
[2:47:04]
pulling a number out of the I should
[2:47:05]
have said 300 so that people know I'm
[2:47:06]
being ridiculous. But they come back and
[2:47:08]
they present to you a text amendment to
[2:47:10]
the code and you are convinced by it and
[2:47:13]
accept it and the project goes forward
[2:47:15]
or you are not convinced by it. You
[2:47:17]
don't pass it and they don't build
[2:47:19]
because they know they can't meet the
[2:47:20]
code and then you unzone the property
[2:47:22]
and take it back. But I think I think
[2:47:25]
the concern that uh councelor McKay is
[2:47:27]
saying is that even if even if that were
[2:47:30]
the case, the way the code is currently
[2:47:31]
written, you can just always make an
[2:47:33]
event per event.
[2:47:35]
>> Yeah.
[2:47:35]
>> And and that's what I and that's what I
[2:47:37]
said. I I threw this out a couple times
[2:47:39]
without giving a specific. I think what
[2:47:40]
we can add to this is say we're not
[2:47:43]
eligible for special event exemptions.
[2:47:47]
>> Right? If if that's your concern, we can
[2:47:49]
cite the code provision that that allows
[2:47:51]
those and say that doesn't apply.
[2:47:53]
>> So that has to come.
[2:47:54]
>> It's either it's either we have a one
[2:47:57]
side we have a final rule or we have
[2:47:59]
nothing.
[2:48:00]
>> I think that's way better.
[2:48:01]
>> Yeah.
[2:48:04]
>> You going to make that motion and I'll
[2:48:05]
second it?
[2:48:06]
>> I'll make a motion that we add that they
[2:48:08]
can't have the
[2:48:10]
administrative exemptions and that they
[2:48:12]
have to come back for a full exemption
[2:48:14]
that's spelled out and specific. I'll
[2:48:17]
second that.
[2:48:19]
>> Yeah. And or discussion.
[2:48:21]
>> So looking at the exemption part. So
[2:48:23]
that's 9.06.050.
[2:48:27]
Um I I think if we are going to say no
[2:48:30]
exemptions, it would be no exemptions
[2:48:32]
unless the council decides to alter this
[2:48:35]
code
[2:48:37]
>> because
[2:48:37]
>> Right. Well, and again, we're really not
[2:48:40]
talking about exemptions. We're talking
[2:48:41]
about administrative administrative
[2:48:44]
event exceptions. Right.
[2:48:45]
>> Yeah. because you made the point earlier
[2:48:47]
that we may not actually know what the
[2:48:49]
impact is until they've built a thing
[2:48:50]
there.
[2:48:51]
>> You know that the studies because you're
[2:48:53]
going to be changing the geometries and everything of it. So we can't know
[2:48:59]
for real what it is until it's
[2:49:01]
>> real.
[2:49:02]
>> Yeah. So I like the idea that they have
[2:49:03]
to come they have to do all the testing
[2:49:05]
but we have actual things to work with
[2:49:06]
and then know and then we make their own
[2:49:08]
exception.
[2:49:08]
>> Although what they can do, Rachel, is
[2:49:10]
they can build to specification.
[2:49:12]
So, let's say it's 300 or 3,000 to be
[2:49:15]
ridiculous. It can't be more than 3,000.
[2:49:17]
All right. Well, you have to build it to
[2:49:19]
3,000, right? Or three.
[2:49:21]
>> You're dealing with nature. I don't know
[2:49:22]
if you could.
[2:49:23]
>> And I was going to add to that. I was
[2:49:24]
just saying you you can put parameters
[2:49:27]
in and then you build it to parameters.
[2:49:29]
Um otherwise, it's
[2:49:32]
you'll know what's in the bill after you
[2:49:33]
read it, after we pass it, you know.
[2:49:36]
Yeah. Yeah, you know that that that you
[2:49:38]
know, well, let's just let's just wait
[2:49:40]
until we pass it and then get on the
[2:49:42]
other side. I'm suggesting we could
[2:49:44]
actually put in parameters and say it
[2:49:46]
has to be in these parameters. Now, I
[2:49:47]
suggest those parameters be based on
[2:49:50]
what other venues do, what there have to
[2:49:52]
be some guideline. I'm not looking to be
[2:49:53]
unreasonable. I'm just saying you could
[2:49:56]
build it to parameters.
[2:49:58]
>> It might be more expensive and
[2:49:59]
>> and I don't disagree with that. One of
[2:50:01]
the things I was going to suggest uh
[2:50:03]
when you when you started with that
[2:50:04]
comment was,
[2:50:06]
you know, I was said I I think it's
[2:50:09]
totally valid to suggest to the
[2:50:11]
developer who's going to be making these
[2:50:12]
drafts that they go out and look and
[2:50:14]
they come back and
[2:50:16]
maybe maybe you're not actually when you
[2:50:18]
get to the point where you're amending
[2:50:20]
the code, you won't be satisfied with
[2:50:21]
anything greater than 105, right? But
[2:50:25]
maybe they come back right now and say,
[2:50:27]
"We've looked around the country and 150
[2:50:30]
is the biggest that anybody else is
[2:50:32]
doing, so we're going to put 150 in it
[2:50:34]
anyway." Knowing that that's not an
[2:50:37]
authorization, it's a cap, right? So
[2:50:40]
there can be a ceiling in it even if
[2:50:42]
there's not an authorization to meet the
[2:50:44]
ceiling, but that would require it's up
[2:50:47]
to them whether that's really possible.
[2:50:49]
I I think one of the challenges in my
[2:50:52]
mind as I consider what councelor uh
[2:50:55]
Christensen is saying is so our ours our
[2:50:58]
sound ordinances are basically at
[2:51:00]
property line right
[2:51:01]
>> I think the really challenging unknown
[2:51:03]
is how the m mountain will carry the
[2:51:06]
sound over into the people who live on
[2:51:09]
the other side of that like my
[2:51:10]
understanding is yeah exactly and it's
[2:51:12]
like my understanding with how kind of
[2:51:13]
like rock mountains work is they tend to
[2:51:15]
vibrate and carry sound quite
[2:51:16]
efficiently and that's just the thing
[2:51:18]
like Unless we go drive up to the hill
[2:51:20]
and put out some massive speakers and
[2:51:22]
blast sound. Like we don't really know
[2:51:23]
what it'll actually feel like to the
[2:51:25]
people who live on the other side. Like
[2:51:26]
for example, I talked to a venue owner
[2:51:28]
and that was his big personal like if
[2:51:30]
I'm thinking about this like the sound
[2:51:32]
traveling up and over that mountain
[2:51:33]
seems very like efficient to me. And
[2:51:36]
again, I know there's like mitigation
[2:51:37]
effects, but it's just Yeah. Anyway,
[2:51:39]
it's like it's hard. I don't think our I
[2:51:41]
don't think our you know at sight or at
[2:51:43]
sideline decel reading is actually going
[2:51:45]
to in practical terms affect be the
[2:51:48]
experience of the people who live there.
[2:51:50]
>> You have to experience the different
[2:51:52]
neighborhoods and actually check out the
[2:51:54]
different neighborhoods as something's
[2:51:55]
going on with a test. And again, I think
[2:51:58]
that all of those things are things that
[2:52:02]
they could be required to answer to when
[2:52:03]
you're be when you're considering what
[2:52:06]
it really boils down to is I think what
[2:52:08]
we need what the developer needs to know
[2:52:10]
and what I need to know as far as ne
[2:52:12]
negotiating what you want is do do those
[2:52:15]
questions have to be answered now?
[2:52:17]
>> Yeah. And and that's why this is like
[2:52:18]
really challenging is because I their
[2:52:21]
position which I totally understand is
[2:52:22]
like they're taking on a ton of risk
[2:52:24]
even being in this room, you know,
[2:52:25]
spending all this time answering all of
[2:52:27]
our questions and then we could still
[2:52:28]
just say no. And so it's like the more
[2:52:30]
we ask them to do now, the more so it's
[2:52:32]
like there's a risk asymmetry here that
[2:52:33]
seems just really challenging. So
[2:52:35]
>> that's what I I don't know what a good
[2:52:36]
answer is to that, but that's the
[2:52:38]
challenge.
[2:52:39]
>> And I don't either. So I defer to you,
[2:52:41]
man.
[2:52:41]
>> I mean, unless we could go do a do a
[2:52:43]
field trip. I don't [laughter] know.
[2:52:45]
Well, it makes sense to me that you
[2:52:46]
can't know it until you have all the
[2:52:48]
infrastructure in place.
[2:52:49]
>> It's just really hard to know.
[2:52:50]
>> And you need to know where it is over
[2:52:51]
the mountain, down the mountain, in the
[2:52:54]
little neighborhood. Can't remember the
[2:52:56]
name of it.
[2:52:57]
>> Springell.
[2:52:57]
>> Yeah.
[2:52:58]
>> So, like they need to be testing those
[2:52:59]
three areas. So, but if if we have it
[2:53:03]
lined up like you mentioned that they
[2:53:04]
can't have a exemption and it would they
[2:53:07]
need to come in to get their own
[2:53:08]
exemption arranged with particulars then
[2:53:11]
that seems
[2:53:14]
like the best step. I don't know.
[2:53:17]
>> It just becomes hard because if it's
[2:53:18]
already built or whatever it's like, you
[2:53:21]
know, it's too big to fail at that
[2:53:22]
point. You're not as That's just the
[2:53:24]
challenge. Well, and I Yeah, I guess I
[2:53:27]
would say if I was the developer,
[2:53:29]
[laughter]
[2:53:30]
and I'm not, but if I was the developer,
[2:53:33]
because of the risk that you just
[2:53:34]
identified before I started building, I
[2:53:37]
would go do those, but not before two
[2:53:39]
weeks from now, I would go do all of
[2:53:42]
those studies, I would apply for my
[2:53:44]
exemption. I would show you the studies.
[2:53:46]
I I would have the number in the code
[2:53:50]
before I started building, even if I
[2:53:52]
don't have it two weeks from now. Mhm.
[2:53:54]
>> Can I Can I check?
[2:53:56]
>> Yeah.
[2:53:56]
you're exactly right, Council
[2:53:58]
Member Whitlock. We would be about eight
[2:54:00]
months, I would guess, six to eight
[2:54:02]
months away from being able to come and
[2:54:04]
make a really compelling uh um
[2:54:07]
explanation of what we're asking for and
[2:54:08]
why. Um the first step, the first that
[2:54:11]
the day after we're done here, we're
[2:54:13]
going to go get the geotechnical study
[2:54:14]
done. Um and then we would complete, you
[2:54:16]
know, kind of the preliminary and
[2:54:17]
concept design. So those would be the
[2:54:19]
very first steps that we would do that
[2:54:20]
we couldn't do anything um acoustically
[2:54:23]
until we have that design complete. Um
[2:54:25]
and then we would figure out ways to try
[2:54:26]
to mitigate those selling impacts and
[2:54:28]
then come to you and say this is what we
[2:54:30]
were proposing. But um that that risk
[2:54:33]
asymmetry I would love to understand
[2:54:34]
what you mean by that because I feel
[2:54:35]
like maybe we both feel like we're the
[2:54:39]
one leading the risk. I know Craig has
[2:54:40]
said that a lot. I I feel like you guys
[2:54:43]
hold all the cards in that you have a
[2:54:45]
standard right now. We don't we won't
[2:54:46]
meet the standard. either we will, in
[2:54:49]
which case we're good to go, or we
[2:54:50]
won't, which I'm telling you right now,
[2:54:52]
we won't. So then we would have to come
[2:54:53]
back and say, here's here's what this
[2:54:55]
would look like, and here's is this a
[2:54:56]
reasonable approach. It's not what this
[2:54:58]
would look like. It's does this mean
[2:54:59]
would this be acceptable to you as as
[2:55:01]
city council? So from my perspective, it
[2:55:03]
is risk asymmetry. It's all on us, but
[2:55:06]
um maybe maybe I'm not seeing some
[2:55:08]
>> Yeah, that that's what that's what I'm
[2:55:09]
potentially saying. Like we're asking
[2:55:11]
for answers now that require a level
[2:55:12]
investment that are not reasonable for
[2:55:14]
us to ask for.
[2:55:15]
>> Yes. given the risk that you are facing
[2:55:18]
for us to say no.
[2:55:19]
>> We're thinking the exact same way. We
[2:55:21]
would be we would be a significant
[2:55:23]
investment to go figure out the answers
[2:55:24]
to these questions that we can't make
[2:55:28]
uh it's very difficult for us to make
[2:55:29]
prior to getting some direction on the
[2:55:31]
phone. So
[2:55:33]
>> yeah, and I think it's important to note
[2:55:35]
that when you're doing enclosed
[2:55:37]
concerts, we probably aren't having a
[2:55:39]
sound problem at all. It's only when we
[2:55:41]
have the really big ones during the
[2:55:44]
summer months that are the open air
[2:55:46]
types of things. So, the number of
[2:55:48]
events that could potentially have an
[2:55:51]
adverse sound impact would be fewer than
[2:55:55]
the number of football games we've got a
[2:55:56]
year.
[2:55:57]
>> So, Rachel, it's a great point and that
[2:55:59]
I I think that goes to the design. That
[2:56:02]
goes to the design and needing to talk
[2:56:04]
about the design because, you know, we
[2:56:05]
have this retractable roof concept,
[2:56:08]
right? And so if if it's enclosed, sound
[2:56:10]
is not an issue, right? It's enclosed.
[2:56:12]
And if we do if we if we're in a
[2:56:14]
situation where we're where it's
[2:56:15]
outdoor, we could leave up portions of
[2:56:17]
the retractable um walls in order to
[2:56:20]
kind of really direct the sound. So
[2:56:22]
there's a lot of uh components here that
[2:56:24]
we have control over on the design, the
[2:56:26]
way that the structure is built, and the
[2:56:27]
way that we kind of direct the sound
[2:56:29]
that it's going to have a massive impact
[2:56:30]
on all these things. And that's what
[2:56:32]
we've got to go figure out on our side.
[2:56:34]
But we can't do that until we talk about
[2:56:35]
the design.
[2:56:36]
>> Yeah. Because ideally what we would want
[2:56:37]
is you us to or to have you figure out
[2:56:40]
how to address all of those impacts so
[2:56:42]
you never would need an exemption.
[2:56:44]
>> Yes. Yeah.
[2:56:45]
>> Yeah.
[2:56:48]
» All right. So, let me try to let me try
[2:56:51]
to help us move on. What I'm what I'm
[2:56:52]
hearing I would even make you make a
[2:56:54]
motion. I I I would say if you disagree
[2:56:56]
>> there's a motion and second. Yeah.
[2:56:59]
>> Oh, yeah. What was and it was just about
[2:57:01]
the Oh, it was it was getting rid of the
[2:57:03]
administrative exemptions.
[2:57:05]
>> Yes. And we have to come back and we'll
[2:57:07]
work out studies and all the details and
[2:57:09]
test in different neighborhoods.
[2:57:12]
>> Great.
[2:57:12]
>> Come up with a personalized exemption
[2:57:15]
that we can all agree on.
[2:57:16]
>> Okay.
[2:57:18]
>> Does that fit your concern that they are
[2:57:21]
still going to have to build it sound?
[2:57:24]
>> I think it's just close to
[2:57:25]
>> Okay.
[2:57:26]
>> Council Whitlock.
[2:57:28]
>> Yes.
[2:57:29]
>> Council McKay. Yes. Councelor
[2:57:31]
Christensen.
[2:57:32]
>> Yes.
[2:57:32]
>> Council Garrett.
[2:57:33]
>> Yes. Councelor Hman.
[2:57:35]
>> Yes.
[2:57:36]
>> Council Whipple.
[2:57:37]
>> Yep.
[2:57:37]
>> Council Bogdan.
[2:57:38]
>> Yes.
[2:57:39]
>> That's 7.
[2:57:41]
>> I like to make another motion to move
[2:57:42]
the Sunday through Thursday to 10:00 and
[2:57:45]
the Friday and Saturday to 11.
[2:57:49]
>> I'll second that as well.
[2:57:52]
>> Any discussion on that?
[2:57:54]
>> I'm conflicted because my bedtime's like
[2:57:55]
9:00. So that would make it easier for
[2:57:58]
me to attend an event. That's like the
[2:58:00]
hardest thing. That's why I hate going
[2:58:01]
to Salt Lake for concerts or anything
[2:58:03]
because they get done too late and I'm a
[2:58:05]
very tired old person.
[2:58:07]
>> It's just Yeah.
[2:58:09]
>> Can I ask a question?
[2:58:10]
>> I'm just curious how like just speak to
[2:58:13]
how important this is for the commercial
[2:58:14]
viability of the project.
[2:58:16]
>> I I we feel like it's really important.
[2:58:19]
So I I guess and I don't mean to be
[2:58:22]
disrespectful in any way to what the
[2:58:24]
council is asking. The agreement that we
[2:58:26]
would propose back for approval will say
[2:58:27]
11 and 12. That's how important it is to
[2:58:29]
us. you're just saying it's not going to
[2:58:31]
work.
[2:58:31]
>> Not that we're dismissing. Yeah.
[2:58:32]
Dismissive of the concern, but it I mean
[2:58:34]
there there's clear examples here that
[2:58:36]
we that we've talked about where this is an acceptable standard and
[2:58:40]
that's a very important component to us.
[2:58:42]
So yeah, I I think again it no
[2:58:44]
disrespect men attended but this is this is 11. Would you do 11
[2:58:53]
six days a week? Um, it's currently said
[2:58:57]
it's 11 five days a week,
[2:58:59]
>> right?
[2:59:01]
So, well, seven days a week. Would you
[2:59:03]
do 11 seven days a week? In other words,
[2:59:05]
not midnight.
[2:59:07]
>> Okay. Um, I think if there were some
[2:59:10]
kind of process to talk about these
[2:59:12]
administrative exemptions where we we
[2:59:15]
could for the handful of time come in
[2:59:16]
and ask for that to go to 12 or maybe
[2:59:19]
even later in some instances like a New
[2:59:21]
Year's Eve party or something like that.
[2:59:22]
there's there's a certain, you know,
[2:59:24]
handful of of times where it may make
[2:59:26]
some sense, but yeah, if there was a if
[2:59:27]
there was a vehicle for us to have that
[2:59:29]
conversation and come and talk to the
[2:59:30]
city about it, that might be a
[2:59:32]
reasonable approach 11:00 with the
[2:59:34]
exception.
[2:59:34]
>> But one question I have for uh Brian
[2:59:37]
here is this is only for outdoor events,
[2:59:39]
correct? There is no curfew for indoor
[2:59:41]
events,
[2:59:42]
>> correct?
[2:59:42]
>> Yeah.
[2:59:44]
>> Yep.
[2:59:46]
>> Maybe the stadium of fire would be a
[2:59:47]
better example to your point. That would
[2:59:49]
be indoor. I was thinking like I'm not
[2:59:52]
sure people are gonna want to be hanging
[2:59:53]
out [laughter] on door.
[2:59:55]
>> New York City does it, right? For the
[2:59:58]
>> It's true.
[2:59:59]
>> True. People just get bundled up like
[3:00:01]
penguins.
[3:00:07]
» We got a motion with a second.
[3:00:10]
>> And the motion on the skateboard is the
[3:00:12]
power shifted, not the not the potential
[3:00:15]
alternatives.
[3:00:19]
I would make a substitute motion that we
[3:00:22]
cons
[3:00:35]
» Gary, can you put in there that how many
[3:00:37]
exemptions that they can have to that?
[3:00:39]
Maybe five. You said a handful
[3:00:44]
» with the opportunity to apply for up to
[3:00:49]
five exemptions per year
[3:00:53]
» with a I assume a a 12 a.m. cap on the
[3:00:56]
exemptions. Like the exemptions aren't
[3:00:58]
unlimited, right?
[3:01:01]
>> Okay. I second that.
[3:01:04]
>> Did
[3:01:07]
you did then made a change? Are you okay
[3:01:08]
with the change? Okay.
[3:01:12]
on discussing the motion. I'm just again
[3:01:15]
just curious if that seems
[3:01:18]
>> because again like I think the trade-off
[3:01:20]
here from our I won't speak for me is
[3:01:23]
a massive risk of this whole project is
[3:01:25]
you know commercially viable or not and
[3:01:27]
then it's like you know obviously and
[3:01:28]
then obviously on the other side our
[3:01:30]
residents
[3:01:31]
quality of life sleep etc. And so
[3:01:33]
>> I've been to hundreds if not thousands
[3:01:35]
of concerts and I've never had one past
[3:01:37]
11.
[3:01:38]
>> Yeah.
[3:01:39]
>> Ever. Like what are the concerts all
[3:01:41]
going past 11 at midnight and stuff?
[3:01:48]
Yeah, but still
[3:01:56]
» football.
[3:02:00]
Yeah, I love [laughter]
[3:02:01]
>> I think the stadium of fire was past 11.
[3:02:04]
I was like this is going forever.
[3:02:16]
Yeah. Um, councelor McKay, yes.
[3:02:18]
Councelor Christensen,
[3:02:19]
>> yes.
[3:02:20]
>> Councelor Gat,
[3:02:21]
>> yes.
[3:02:21]
>> Council Whipple,
[3:02:24]
>> no.
[3:02:25]
>> Councelor Bod,
[3:02:26]
>> yes.
[3:02:28]
>> Councelor Whitlock,
[3:02:31]
>> um,
[3:02:32]
yes.
[3:02:35]
» Let the record report that was a yes.
[3:02:40]
Are you still with us?
[3:02:41]
>> Yes.
[3:02:43]
>> All right. So that
[3:02:44]
>> he's still with us.
[3:02:48]
» Yes.
[3:03:01]
Okay.
[3:03:04]
>> All right.
[3:03:06]
Hey, traffic. Oh,
[3:03:09]
>> Kevin's in a hurry. I'm [laughter]
[3:03:12]
>> uh Okay. Uh before commencement of their
[3:03:15]
operations, they have to submit and
[3:03:16]
obtain city and agency approvals for
[3:03:18]
traffic and parking operations. List of
[3:03:21]
all the things that has to address.
[3:03:24]
um
[3:03:26]
they can have different plans according
[3:03:28]
to the different levels and UD do
[3:03:31]
approval is required for anything that
[3:03:33]
UD do approval is required for.
[3:03:35]
>> Okay, I had some questions about this.
[3:03:37]
So I read through some other development
[3:03:39]
agreements of other cities that did big
[3:03:41]
amphitheaters
[3:03:43]
and a number of them included um
[3:03:48]
actual specifics on road like for
[3:03:52]
example the overpass and exactly how
[3:03:54]
much going to cost and what I'm worried
[3:03:57]
there's no cost on any of these things
[3:03:59]
but I worry about knowing that having
[3:04:03]
full transparency that they can do this
[3:04:05]
they're willing to do this Like just on
[3:04:07]
some of the basics,
[3:04:08]
>> you're you're talking about whether it's
[3:04:11]
viable to actually build it or not.
[3:04:12]
>> Yeah. Right.
[3:04:13]
>> Like um so the ones I was looking at had
[3:04:17]
two or three spelled out and they had to
[3:04:20]
be what did it say about it? So they
[3:04:21]
these infrastructure improvements are
[3:04:23]
required before the developer start on
[3:04:25]
the project. They actually in the
[3:04:27]
development agreement made it that they
[3:04:28]
had to do
[3:04:30]
the the I guess the pivotal
[3:04:33]
infrastructure improvements before the
[3:04:35]
developers start construction on the
[3:04:36]
amphitheater and um so I was wondering
[3:04:39]
about that like the overpass for example
[3:04:42]
for the bikes and pedestrians and cars
[3:04:44]
with fronted roads that are so those
[3:04:46]
would be absolutely necessary fronted
[3:04:49]
roads within each way this way
[3:04:52]
>> the one along parallel 489 closest to
[3:04:55]
189 That's two lanes and then once you
[3:04:56]
get up in the cement it's like four
[3:04:58]
lanes.
[3:04:58]
>> Yeah. I mean that's been huge. And then
[3:05:01]
I and I and I still think we need the
[3:05:03]
800
[3:05:05]
non-stop in order. So like those are
[3:05:08]
three pivotal
[3:05:10]
infrastructure things
[3:05:12]
>> that I think
[3:05:16]
I thought was interesting because I read
[3:05:18]
that they had the the pivotal
[3:05:20]
infrastructure pieces for traffic
[3:05:22]
required with prices and you know
[3:05:26]
>> yeah I I I think I would have to let the
[3:05:29]
developer uh answer that. I guess the
[3:05:31]
one thing that occurs to me with regard
[3:05:33]
to that is you'll remember that one of
[3:05:36]
the gates in the in the real estate
[3:05:39]
purchase contract is approval of their
[3:05:43]
traffic plan. Now that's approval of the
[3:05:46]
plan not not concerned from from UD do
[3:05:49]
what meaning though what I mean is that
[3:05:51]
we won't be transferring the property to
[3:05:54]
them until UD do has approved their uh
[3:05:58]
traffic infrastructure plan. Not saying
[3:05:59]
that's enough. I'm just saying that's
[3:06:01]
out there.
[3:06:03]
>> Do they represent things? Do they like I
[3:06:05]
don't know what I don't know what degree
[3:06:08]
of scrutiny they give.
[3:06:10]
>> Mhm.
[3:06:10]
>> And I'd love
[3:06:13]
I just address the construction. So I
[3:06:16]
think
[3:06:17]
>> we let developers start moving forward
[3:06:19]
and they have to build all the
[3:06:20]
infrastructure for the debt liability.
[3:06:23]
>> We do.
[3:06:23]
>> So up to a certain level phase one has
[3:06:26]
to be in. We will exempt sometimes a
[3:06:28]
sidewalk may not be in or a few signs,
[3:06:30]
but generally they have to have that
[3:06:33]
infrastructure for a project like this.
[3:06:35]
What I would see happen is that they'd
[3:06:38]
be going concurrently because the design
[3:06:42]
once they get approval from UDOP to do
[3:06:43]
this interchange and do the
[3:06:45]
environmental and all the design like
[3:06:47]
it's going to take six, eight, nine
[3:06:50]
months and then it's going to take
[3:06:52]
another year to build it. Um and so that
[3:06:56]
same period of time is going to take
[3:06:57]
them I'm going to estimate a year to
[3:06:59]
design uh the amplicator. So I I see
[3:07:03]
both of these kind of incurrent. So you
[3:07:06]
don't give somebody occupancy of their
[3:07:08]
facility to all their off-site
[3:07:10]
infrastructure completely.
[3:07:12]
>> So they have to do all the boat stuff
[3:07:13]
first.
[3:07:15]
>> I would see them under construction
[3:07:16]
simultaneously.
[3:07:18]
>> But before they occupy
[3:07:19]
>> Yeah. So before they have occupy the
[3:07:21]
water line has to be built, storm
[3:07:22]
drains, the sewer, the road, all those
[3:07:24]
things would have to be done. And you
[3:07:26]
can put that as something like you don't
[3:07:29]
get occupancy till all the off-site
[3:07:31]
improvements whatever they are are
[3:07:33]
completed.
[3:07:35]
>> We normally wouldn't do that anyway, but
[3:07:37]
happy happy to
[3:07:39]
>> for small scale is I think what you're
[3:07:41]
seeing such a big scale that
[3:07:44]
it's more noticeable.
[3:07:46]
>> You just call the small scale. No, no,
[3:07:48]
[laughter] this is big scale. The
[3:07:51]
housing small scale.
[3:07:53]
>> Could we have you do talk to us?
[3:07:57]
>> I think that's entirely up to you.
[3:07:59]
Certainly. Certainly could.
[3:08:02]
>> Could I could I maybe question?
[3:08:05]
>> Yeah, Vern. Vern has been we we've tried
[3:08:08]
to include Vern in a lot of those
[3:08:10]
meetings. So, I don't know if that would
[3:08:11]
be helpful to hear from Vern because
[3:08:13]
he's on those conversations. He's
[3:08:14]
hearing what they're saying. He's
[3:08:15]
receiving their feedback. Um, so again,
[3:08:17]
that's maybe one other alternative to
[3:08:19]
civic countries.
[3:08:22]
Um, and with with regard to the
[3:08:23]
infrastructure, I think that I mean our
[3:08:25]
concept plan, it doesn't give us the
[3:08:27]
right to take away the overpass. That's
[3:08:29]
not something that would be so we're
[3:08:31]
building that overpass and before we can
[3:08:33]
have one concert venue, one anything
[3:08:35]
here, we have to have that overpass in.
[3:08:37]
So if if there were if that helped I
[3:08:39]
guess you know we're not talking about
[3:08:41]
dollars and cents at this point Krice
[3:08:42]
but if that was helpful I think that
[3:08:44]
would be something that we could we
[3:08:45]
could absolutely consider adding
[3:08:48]
>> helpful you have
[3:08:55]
move to the next one. Okay. All right we
[3:08:58]
finished paragraph eight.
[3:09:01]
Uh okay nine. So, this one I don't know.
[3:09:05]
This one I mostly just wanted to address
[3:09:07]
a comment that was made at um planning
[3:09:09]
commission. I I don't know that there's
[3:09:11]
necessarily anything uh that was super
[3:09:15]
concerning about this, but there was at
[3:09:16]
least one person at planning commission
[3:09:18]
in the public comment that made a
[3:09:19]
comment about misunderstanding that
[3:09:21]
thinking that this meant that the city
[3:09:23]
might have to reimburse for
[3:09:24]
infrastructure costs. This is purely
[3:09:27]
about those pioneering agreements that
[3:09:29]
we talked about before. is that they
[3:09:30]
have a right to be reimbursed by other
[3:09:33]
developers
[3:09:35]
uh who might uh benefit from their
[3:09:38]
improvements in the future. Doesn't have
[3:09:40]
anything to do with city reimbursement.
[3:09:42]
Otherwise, any questions about this one.
[3:09:45]
Okay. Uh public financing cooperation.
[3:09:48]
Uh again, this is uh from a legal
[3:09:52]
perspective. I think this paragraph is a
[3:09:54]
pure throwaway. It doesn't really from a
[3:09:57]
legal perspective about what the
[3:09:58]
development agreement me means. It
[3:10:00]
doesn't matter whether this paragraph is
[3:10:01]
in there or not in there. The result is
[3:10:04]
pretty much the same because if we take
[3:10:06]
it out entirely, they can still come ask
[3:10:08]
you for anything they want. And if we
[3:10:10]
leave it in there, it say all it says is
[3:10:12]
they can come ask you. It explicitly
[3:10:14]
says you don't have to approve anything.
[3:10:16]
So from that from that legal
[3:10:18]
perspective, I don't really care whether
[3:10:20]
it's in there or not or or or what it
[3:10:22]
says other than that everything is
[3:10:23]
completely discretionary. I know that
[3:10:25]
there have been some questions about
[3:10:27]
well we want to know what those asks are
[3:10:30]
and I think that I think the purpose of
[3:10:32]
those questions as I've understood them
[3:10:34]
is without knowing what those uh asks
[3:10:37]
are we can't know whether we would
[3:10:38]
possibly entertain them and if we
[3:10:40]
wouldn't possibly entertain them the
[3:10:42]
whole project might not be viable. So
[3:10:44]
those are perfectly acceptable policy
[3:10:46]
questions. I would say um
[3:10:50]
because I think that's not really
[3:10:51]
related to the development agreement, I
[3:10:53]
would push that off to a agenda item
[3:10:55]
number six if that's okay. Uh assuming
[3:10:59]
we get to agenda item number or five.
[3:11:02]
Uh
[3:11:04]
but any other than that, any questions
[3:11:06]
about the DA language about public
[3:11:09]
financing? Yes, councelor Bogdan.
[3:11:11]
>> I I would move that we get rid of it.
[3:11:13]
pits are so under attack right now and I
[3:11:16]
hear the legislature is going to look at
[3:11:17]
those and it just it it looks messy and
[3:11:20]
I would prefer just to get rid of it and
[3:11:25]
leave it out.
[3:11:26]
>> Right. I mean, you know, as I commented
[3:11:28]
before, doesn't taking it out doesn't
[3:11:30]
stop them from asking for it. Um
[3:11:37]
» Sure.
[3:11:38]
Um,
[3:11:41]
» I think from the public's look at this
[3:11:44]
and from other people's looking at this,
[3:11:47]
it makes them think that these are the
[3:11:49]
things that we're going to go after. And
[3:11:51]
a pit is not something I personally um
[3:11:54]
>> could like don't be closer.
[3:11:57]
>> Well, they could probably do a PID just
[3:11:58]
for themselves, right? And then they
[3:12:00]
still get that rate, the city rate.
[3:12:03]
>> PIDs are actually better for
[3:12:04]
non-residential. In fact, the city has a
[3:12:06]
the city h the council has an
[3:12:08]
outstanding policy statement that's
[3:12:10]
never been repealed saying that they
[3:12:12]
will only consider them for
[3:12:13]
non-residential projects. The problem
[3:12:15]
with residential projects is it ends up
[3:12:18]
being the buyers of the homes later who
[3:12:19]
end up paying the assessment. For a
[3:12:21]
commercial project, the the people who
[3:12:24]
built the project, they knew what the
[3:12:26]
bond is and they're the ones that pay it
[3:12:28]
back later. It's essentially just a way
[3:12:30]
for them to get a more advantageous
[3:12:31]
rate. Well, it it sounds good, but it's
[3:12:34]
under such scrutiny that I wouldn't go
[3:12:37]
for it um just for that fact.
[3:12:43]
But yeah, like you said, it really
[3:12:45]
doesn't make sense to have it in here
[3:12:46]
and I would just prefer to have it out.
[3:12:51]
>> There a motion?
[3:12:52]
>> That's a That was a motion. Yeah.
[3:12:55]
>> Nobody's it. They want it in.
[3:12:57]
>> I'll second. You're saying you're saying
[3:12:59]
the whole section or just the reference?
[3:13:01]
>> No, the whole section. Just take it all
[3:13:03]
out because they can still come to us
[3:13:05]
like Walmart is doing.
[3:13:07]
>> It's just unnecessary.
[3:13:08]
>> It's unnecessary. It sends a message
[3:13:11]
and it gives to me it would give the
[3:13:14]
legislature some time to look at those
[3:13:17]
different things like the taxmental
[3:13:19]
financing for property and for pits.
[3:13:24]
Give some more clarification in that. I
[3:13:26]
think I think it's better all the way
[3:13:29]
around this.
[3:13:32]
>> Great. Any more discussion on that?
[3:13:36]
>> It was just simply to say we didn't we wanted to be transparent like
[3:13:39]
we didn't we we will be asking for a fit
[3:13:42]
in the tiff. So we didn't want that to
[3:13:43]
be a surprise when we do. So that's an important consideration. Um
[3:13:48]
there's a lot of additional work. It's
[3:13:50]
one of those things that's kind of a
[3:13:51]
placeholder similar to sound where um
[3:13:54]
there will be a lot of financial impacts
[3:13:56]
here that we've got to make sure we
[3:13:58]
understand clearly and we have numbers
[3:13:59]
with you know backup from contractors
[3:14:02]
and all of those things on the
[3:14:03]
infrastructure. Um and that requires us
[3:14:06]
to have further design. So those are important components that we
[3:14:08]
didn't want we didn't want anybody to
[3:14:10]
say we didn't know about it. We wanted
[3:14:12]
to be transparent about that. So that's
[3:14:13]
why it's here. Yeah. because there there
[3:14:15]
is no definition and to Brian's point it
[3:14:17]
could be thrown away but that was
[3:14:18]
important for us from a transparency
[3:14:20]
perspective.
[3:14:23]
>> So I think for that same reason Becky I
[3:14:25]
would want to do that so the public can
[3:14:28]
see the likelihood they can get to it.
[3:14:34]
I still would say no to the PID
[3:14:39]
period at this point in time
[3:14:42]
and take that completely out.
[3:14:47]
So I would just note though that the
[3:14:49]
your concerns about the PIT that you've
[3:14:52]
gotten from people are based on
[3:14:54]
misunderstanding what a PIT is. So, it
[3:14:56]
sounds like what we should do is more
[3:14:59]
education
[3:15:00]
and get more information available to
[3:15:02]
our constituents instead of foreclosing
[3:15:05]
a really good opportunity. It's so much of a problem that the state
[3:15:14]
auditor has come out and said PIDs are a
[3:15:15]
problem. It's so much of a problem that
[3:15:17]
the state legislators should be looking
[3:15:19]
into this this legislative session. So,
[3:15:22]
to me,
[3:15:25]
so much of a problem that I've had
[3:15:27]
>> even neighboring cities reach out to me
[3:15:30]
and say a pids are no good for anybody.
[3:15:32]
It's it's it's creating such a problem
[3:15:36]
here.
[3:15:37]
>> Yeah, I I hear that. I I second it so we
[3:15:39]
could have the discussion. I I'm
[3:15:41]
actually in favor of keeping in for
[3:15:43]
Gary's comment. I think it is important
[3:15:44]
for people to know uh that this this
[3:15:47]
will be coming. They've got that right
[3:15:48]
anyway. Um, so I would be in favor of
[3:15:51]
keeping it in for that reason and we'll
[3:15:54]
have that discussion when it comes to
[3:15:55]
us.
[3:15:57]
>> The numbers to look at
[3:15:59]
deciding without numbers.
[3:16:05]
» Yeah, the discussion there was a second.
[3:16:07]
So,
[3:16:08]
>> okay, we'll vote. Um, council Christian.
[3:16:11]
>> Uh, no.
[3:16:12]
>> Councelor Gat,
[3:16:14]
>> no.
[3:16:14]
>> Councelor Hoben,
[3:16:15]
>> no.
[3:16:16]
>> Councelor Whipple, no. Councelor Bogdan.
[3:16:19]
>> Yes.
[3:16:19]
>> Councelor Whitlock,
[3:16:21]
>> no.
[3:16:21]
>> Councelor McCay, yes. No,
[3:16:27]
» she doesn't know what she wants.
[3:16:32]
» Okay, I got
[3:16:35]
few more things. Uh, section 10, grading
[3:16:38]
site adaptation. Again, this says that
[3:16:41]
they have to comply with the development
[3:16:43]
ordinances. They may not disturb slopes
[3:16:45]
greater than 30%.
[3:16:47]
um that have not been previously
[3:16:49]
disturbed without first obtaining
[3:16:50]
approval through the normal city
[3:16:52]
process. This is this paragraph
[3:16:53]
essentially just binds them to uh abide
[3:16:55]
by the city's grading ordinances and
[3:16:57]
spells it out as specific.
[3:16:59]
>> So Brian, help me with the um first
[3:17:02]
obtain uh let's see where did it go.
[3:17:06]
Having been previously disturbed, what
[3:17:09]
does that mean?
[3:17:10]
>> Let's see. So that's second to the last
[3:17:13]
line. Been previously disturbed. So, uh,
[3:17:17]
there's two there's two process. Did
[3:17:20]
Bill Hannah maybe Hannah knows the
[3:17:22]
answer to this? There's, as I understand
[3:17:24]
it, there's first of all, there's a flatout prohibition on
[3:17:31]
building on slopes greater than 30%,
[3:17:33]
unless uh, engineering has signed off on
[3:17:36]
it. There's secondarily also
[3:17:40]
a prohibition in the OSPR zone, which
[3:17:43]
remember we're changing away from that.
[3:17:45]
So this this is essentially designed to
[3:17:47]
maintain the OSPR zone protection even
[3:17:50]
when uh even during the time that
[3:17:53]
they're under construction because in
[3:17:54]
the OSPR zone engineering can't grant
[3:17:58]
the exemption except for an except for
[3:18:02]
an area that's already been previously
[3:18:04]
uh disturbed. Does that make sense?
[3:18:07]
>> Yeah. So let's say uh uh uh some portion
[3:18:11]
of the hill was disturbed 50 years ago.
[3:18:16]
It's reveated, but at some point that
[3:18:18]
was actually at, but now it's kind of
[3:18:19]
back. Um
[3:18:22]
>> and do you remember your head what the
[3:18:24]
definition
[3:18:24]
>> of disturbed is in no SPR? And if you
[3:18:27]
do, could you
[3:18:30]
tell us your phone?
[3:18:37]
I couldn't give you the definition from
[3:18:38]
the code off the top of my head. I need
[3:18:40]
to look that up. But I could tell you
[3:18:41]
how we would interpret that. In that
[3:18:43]
case, if it is reeducated, we look at
[3:18:45]
disturbed less as a verb. It was
[3:18:47]
disturbed at one point and more as an
[3:18:49]
adjective. Would it currently be
[3:18:50]
described as a disturbed piece of land?
[3:18:53]
And if the answer is no, not currently
[3:18:55]
disturbed, then we would consider it.
[3:18:58]
>> And that's my that's my understanding
[3:19:00]
too. And and uh councelor Christian to
[3:19:02]
your point if you would like us to make
[3:19:04]
sure that the DA says that even if
[3:19:06]
that's not what the code says I'm happy
[3:19:08]
to do that.
[3:19:08]
>> That would be that would be helpful.
[3:19:10]
>> Okay.
[3:19:10]
>> I mean there's others saying
[3:19:14]
>> I now we're I got a majority already.
[3:19:17]
[laughter]
[3:19:17]
Okay. I saw enough headnods. We'll move
[3:19:19]
on on that one. Okay.
[3:19:24]
[laughter]
[3:19:25]
>> I just got to know what you want and if
[3:19:26]
enough of you Okay. So here is the
[3:19:29]
default provision. Um I bring this up uh
[3:19:34]
principally just because there was some
[3:19:36]
public comment about this sentence about
[3:19:38]
not being uh extending the 60-day period
[3:19:41]
for cure if it cannot reasonably be
[3:19:42]
cured within 60-day period. And the only
[3:19:45]
thing I can say about that and maybe
[3:19:46]
councelor Ripple can back me up on this
[3:19:48]
is that that is completely standard. Um
[3:19:51]
that that's just how cure provisions are
[3:19:54]
normally uh written. I can't say that it
[3:19:59]
is
[3:20:01]
I I mean there is some flexibility to it
[3:20:03]
but that flexibility is on purpose
[3:20:05]
because sometimes something that you
[3:20:08]
have to cure can't be cured in 60 days.
[3:20:10]
So um I'll move on unless somebody tells
[3:20:14]
me to stop. uh remedies. Uh this lists
[3:20:17]
the remedies and I will say one of again
[3:20:19]
one of the public comments that thrown
[3:20:20]
out there about this is there there
[3:20:23]
there's been I've seen a few comments
[3:20:25]
asking us to add monetary damages back
[3:20:27]
in instead of explicitly removing them.
[3:20:30]
And I can only say that in my experience
[3:20:32]
as a city attorney that's a bad idea
[3:20:35]
because judges are really willing to
[3:20:37]
grant monetary damages to developers and
[3:20:39]
really not willing to grant monetary
[3:20:42]
damages to municipalities. So, it's
[3:20:44]
actually, in my view, a protection to
[3:20:46]
the city not to have that in there. And
[3:20:49]
if we add it back in, I think we're
[3:20:51]
increasing our liability instead of
[3:20:52]
reducing it.
[3:20:54]
Any questions about that? Okay.
[3:20:58]
Uh, okay. These are I think these are my
[3:21:01]
last two things is is the uh deadlines.
[3:21:04]
So, we've got the deadline in here about
[3:21:06]
commencing construction that they have
[3:21:07]
to do that within 3 years. uh and it's
[3:21:10]
defined as pouring the footings and
[3:21:12]
foundation for the venue and passing
[3:21:14]
inspection. Um I will note one of the
[3:21:18]
things that I realized while we were
[3:21:20]
while I was preparing this whole thing
[3:21:21]
is the definition of this term is
[3:21:24]
actually slightly different in the repsy
[3:21:26]
addendum but one of the things that I'm
[3:21:27]
already planning to take care of is
[3:21:29]
making the two align because they're a
[3:21:30]
little bit different. Um any questions
[3:21:33]
about that concept or language?
[3:21:36]
>> Just out of curiosity.
[3:21:36]
>> Yes. um brought footings in that.
[3:21:41]
>> Bill ran away, didn't he? Bill was the
[3:21:42]
one that suggested that. He was the one
[3:21:44]
that suggested that having those poured
[3:21:47]
and the inspection done was the shest
[3:21:49]
sign that things were really going
[3:21:51]
forward and that it wasn't just what he
[3:21:53]
didn't want it to be is they just graded
[3:21:55]
the site and that counted.
[3:21:57]
>> Just put up a fence and say, "Hey, we
[3:21:59]
started construction because we're
[3:22:00]
staging." We didn't want that. We wanted
[3:22:03]
meaningful.
[3:22:04]
>> So, we wanted something substantial.
[3:22:06]
Uh,
[3:22:07]
>> I'm sorry.
[3:22:08]
>> Yeah.
[3:22:10]
>> And the footing the foundation for the
[3:22:13]
>> for the for the amphitheater. For the
[3:22:15]
amphitheater,
[3:22:16]
>> not hotel, not the other things,
[3:22:18]
>> right?
[3:22:19]
>> So, they've got three years to get the
[3:22:20]
amphitheater in
[3:22:21]
>> to get the footings and foundations in.
[3:22:24]
>> Yeah. Yeah.
[3:22:24]
>> But they could get the hotel in
[3:22:26]
>> sooner, you know. Right.
[3:22:27]
>> Sooner. And and and part of the reason
[3:22:30]
for specifying that was to prevent
[3:22:32]
building the hotel and never building
[3:22:34]
the amphitheater.
[3:22:35]
>> Yeah. Yeah, makes sense.
[3:22:36]
>> And Brian, that's how you define in good
[3:22:39]
faith. Then also um up earlier, it it
[3:22:42]
does not [clears throat] result in a
[3:22:45]
lapse or forfeite as long as there's as
[3:22:49]
long as they've commenced construction.
[3:22:51]
>> Well, and it's delay in commencement
[3:22:53]
during the three-year period. Th this
[3:22:56]
word is really important. So, this
[3:22:59]
during
[3:22:59]
>> this sentence doesn't ex doesn't
[3:23:01]
lengthen the three-year period.
[3:23:03]
This sentence is kind of not necessary
[3:23:05]
because we're already saying but they actually asked for the sentence and
[3:23:10]
it it the purpose of this sentence is
[3:23:11]
just to say we can't try to trigger the this clause before the three years
[3:23:18]
are up. Um unless it's because they're
[3:23:21]
doing absolutely nothing.
[3:23:24]
Does that make sense?
[3:23:27]
Kevin,
[3:23:28]
>> go ahead, Kevin.
[3:23:30]
>> Oh, Travis. [clears throat]
[3:23:32]
>> Yeah. Hey, Brian. Um, I think earlier in
[3:23:35]
the meeting you said that they could
[3:23:36]
operate the hotel prior to the
[3:23:41]
amphitheater being um being completed.
[3:23:44]
>> Yes. And um I well I had expressed my
[3:23:49]
concern with that that ultimately we
[3:23:51]
could end up with a hotel and a
[3:23:54]
restaurant and a parking lot and then
[3:23:56]
all of a sudden the economics changes
[3:23:58]
and you know oh we can't build the
[3:24:01]
amphitheater it's not going to be viable
[3:24:03]
or whatever happens covid 20 co 21 you
[3:24:06]
know whatever it is and um I don't want
[3:24:09]
us to if if we're going through this
[3:24:11]
whole exercise for vesper
[3:24:14]
And I know they want Vesper, too, but um
[3:24:17]
I don't want us to end up with a
[3:24:20]
hotel uh and a restaurant at at the foot
[3:24:23]
of the canyon and never get the
[3:24:25]
amphitheater that we were, you know,
[3:24:27]
approving all of this for in the first
[3:24:30]
place. Um even if we get a foundation
[3:24:32]
and footings. So, I guess it's kind of a
[3:24:35]
non-starter for me that I didn't want
[3:24:38]
the hotel operating prior to the
[3:24:41]
amphitheater being built. Um, so I guess
[3:24:44]
I'm a little bit thrown off by that that
[3:24:46]
I thought that we had had that pretty
[3:24:48]
much covered, but it sounds like we
[3:24:50]
don't
[3:24:52]
>> I am not remembering anything off the
[3:24:54]
top of my head that would prevent that
[3:24:56]
from happening. I don't know how
[3:24:58]
important that is to the developer and
[3:24:59]
whether they're they'd be willing to
[3:25:01]
change it. I guess in my mind and but
[3:25:03]
you're you know this is something I
[3:25:05]
hadn't really thought of is you in my
[3:25:07]
mind this provision that we're looking
[3:25:10]
at right now kind of addressed that
[3:25:11]
because uh if they built the hotel I
[3:25:16]
mean I don't know I I wouldn't want to
[3:25:18]
build a hotel and a restaurant and then
[3:25:20]
pour foundation and footings next to it
[3:25:22]
that never get built on. I don't think
[3:25:24]
that's going to make your hotel very
[3:25:26]
successful. uh but if they don't do that
[3:25:28]
within three years then uh this
[3:25:31]
provision and the provision to retake
[3:25:33]
the property both trigger but I guess I
[3:25:36]
guess you are right that they could
[3:25:38]
theoretically build the hotel under the
[3:25:41]
current terms of the agreement build the
[3:25:42]
hotel and the restaurant put them into
[3:25:44]
operation pour the footings and then
[3:25:47]
wait until the seven-year period and
[3:25:49]
they could operate the hotel for 5 to
[3:25:52]
seven years without the amphitheater
[3:25:54]
being built under the current terms of
[3:25:56]
the agreement.
[3:25:57]
which is not our intent and we're
[3:25:58]
willing to make what Travis has said
[3:26:00]
explicit.
[3:26:01]
>> Okay.
[3:26:02]
>> So, yeah, that's that's not a that's not
[3:26:04]
a concern. Yeah. Is that okay with you,
[3:26:05]
Jeff? All right. Any It looks like
[3:26:07]
[laughter]
[3:26:08]
>> Okay. Yeah,
[3:26:09]
>> I appreciate that. I I think just
[3:26:11]
however we need to solidify all that. I
[3:26:14]
know that's not your intent. I just want
[3:26:15]
to I I don't think you guys would ever
[3:26:17]
do anything unintentional or
[3:26:19]
intentionally, but sometimes things
[3:26:21]
change, right? And so, whatever can
[3:26:23]
protect us.
[3:26:24]
>> It's what Brian just said. It's it's
[3:26:26]
maybe aesthetically unappealing. The the
[3:26:28]
infrastructure to get water to get one
[3:26:30]
drop of water at the site is going to be
[3:26:32]
very expensive and so uh we couldn't do
[3:26:35]
that with just the hotel or the
[3:26:36]
restaurant or one component of the
[3:26:38]
project. It would be it's a package. So
[3:26:40]
yeah, for sure we can we can make that
[3:26:41]
more explicit. We'll propose some
[3:26:42]
language to do just that.
[3:26:45]
>> Okay, that was actually my last item for
[3:26:49]
agenda the item number three. So, let me
[3:26:53]
uh before you move to item number four,
[3:26:55]
I suppose let me propose this and then
[3:26:58]
I'll let uh Brian stand up and talk
[3:27:00]
about number five. My proposal would be
[3:27:02]
that we skip number four. And the reason
[3:27:05]
why is because I think most of the
[3:27:08]
discussion that we would have about
[3:27:11]
number four that's actually which is the
[3:27:13]
real estate purchase contract addendum
[3:27:16]
that is relevant
[3:27:18]
is not might all be moot two weeks from
[3:27:22]
now because because we have yet to have
[3:27:23]
the developer actually make an actual
[3:27:25]
offer as to land purchase price trade
[3:27:30]
etc. But I understand that they are
[3:27:32]
close to doing that and doing that might
[3:27:35]
make the entire gate framework moot. So
[3:27:38]
we could spend a lot of time right now
[3:27:39]
going through how comfortable you are
[3:27:41]
with the gates and have it not even
[3:27:42]
matter. Uh so my proposal we would just
[3:27:45]
skip it. If for some reason the gates
[3:27:47]
are still relevant two weeks from now
[3:27:49]
and approval of everything is on the is
[3:27:53]
on the evening meeting two weeks from
[3:27:54]
now, we could talk about the gates in uh
[3:27:56]
in the work meeting on that day to make
[3:27:59]
sure that everybody's
[3:28:01]
uh I mean we probably need to if if
[3:28:03]
we're going to vote if you're going to
[3:28:04]
vote on September 8th, we're probably
[3:28:06]
going to need work meeting items anyway
[3:28:09]
to review all the changes to things. So
[3:28:11]
I'm I'm willing to give up my time for
[3:28:13]
number four. I think that's actually the
[3:28:14]
right thing to do. And I'll let Brian
[3:28:16]
speak to whether they need number five
[3:28:18]
or whether
[3:28:20]
or yeah because it may it may be they've
[3:28:23]
probably answer said a lot of the stuff
[3:28:25]
they were going to say during our
[3:28:28]
discussion for the last two weeks.
[3:28:29]
>> We we do have if if helpful again I want
[3:28:33]
to maybe provide this as an opportunity
[3:28:34]
as opposed to something that we have to
[3:28:36]
do but we've got Piper Sandler that is
[3:28:38]
online and available to join. Um they
[3:28:41]
were going to kind of give a high level
[3:28:42]
maybe five seven minutes tops to go over
[3:28:45]
a couple just three or four slides to
[3:28:47]
kind of give a high level of the shoot I
[3:28:49]
didn't want that to close so yeah the
[3:28:52]
economic impact the fiscal economic
[3:28:54]
impact so that's helpful Krice that's
[3:28:56]
that you know Craig council
[3:29:00]
>> and you're
[3:29:01]
>> yes
[3:29:02]
>> right so you'll say okay and together
[3:29:10]
tell you who the question is.
[3:29:16]
» Q&A or
[3:29:21]
let's just go there.
[3:29:22]
>> Yeah, I think like so I think the
[3:29:24]
question is do we do we still do number
[3:29:26]
five and let them present that five
[3:29:28]
minutes they just talked about
[3:29:30]
>> or we skip number five and go straight
[3:29:31]
to close meeting?
[3:29:32]
>> Yeah,
[3:29:34]
>> five minutes.
[3:29:39]
I don't think you can just
[3:29:45]
» We can't hear you if you're uh if you're
[3:29:48]
talking. Eric,
[3:29:49]
>> we couldn't hear us. We were muted. So
[3:29:50]
Oh, Eric, here we are.
[3:29:52]
>> Hi.
[3:29:52]
>> Can you hear us?
[3:29:54]
>> Yes, I can.
[3:29:55]
>> Okay. Sorry. I just made a quick
[3:29:56]
introduction, but we were on mute on our
[3:29:58]
end. So, we just made a quick
[3:29:59]
introduction to you uh and Benj um
[3:30:02]
Becker um they're with uh with Piper
[3:30:05]
Sandler, big public finance guy. So, um
[3:30:07]
the council members here and we'd love
[3:30:09]
to spend just a couple minutes going
[3:30:10]
over the the highle uh kind of results
[3:30:13]
of the report. So,
[3:30:14]
>> yeah, great great to be with you this
[3:30:16]
afternoon, council. Um thank you for the
[3:30:18]
time. Um, so as Brian mentioned, he
[3:30:21]
engaged our team to look at the economic
[3:30:24]
and fiscal impacts of the Vesper
[3:30:25]
project. And what you're seeing in the
[3:30:28]
presentation today is a highle summary
[3:30:30]
of a larger report that we've produced
[3:30:32]
for the team. So I'm happy to entertain
[3:30:35]
any questions that come from this, but
[3:30:37]
we'll take about 5 minutes to just walk
[3:30:39]
you through some of the highlights. And
[3:30:40]
I would consider this a sort of an
[3:30:42]
executive summary level. Um and I think
[3:30:46]
the first thing we wanted to highlight
[3:30:47]
to you is um if the project moves
[3:30:50]
forward, the Vesper team is certainly
[3:30:53]
has to construct a significant um amount
[3:30:55]
of assets. So in terms of looking at the
[3:30:59]
direct construction costs, it's it's
[3:31:02]
currently programmed at 540 million and
[3:31:05]
we conservatively use that as the basis
[3:31:08]
for our assessed value projections. So
[3:31:12]
in terms of um the remaining projections
[3:31:14]
that you'll see affiliated with property
[3:31:16]
tax, we just went with the pure, you
[3:31:20]
know, hard construction capex of 540
[3:31:22]
million as the as an assumed number that
[3:31:26]
the county assessor at minimum could
[3:31:28]
apply to the to the property once it's
[3:31:30]
built out. Although we think that that
[3:31:33]
could be um more than that. In addition,
[3:31:36]
as the project comes online, we know
[3:31:38]
that there's going to be significant
[3:31:40]
staffing needs, and that may flex up and
[3:31:42]
down as events occur, but um working
[3:31:45]
with Brian and the Vesper team, we see
[3:31:47]
at least of about a thousand jobs if I'm
[3:31:50]
rounding, but 957 jobs programmed at the
[3:31:53]
moment. So, those people will, you know,
[3:31:56]
s certainly add um demand into the
[3:32:00]
economy. There's also going to be some
[3:32:02]
costs that come along with that. But
[3:32:04]
improving the employment opportunities,
[3:32:06]
the employment base with a variety of
[3:32:08]
positions um for the project um as well.
[3:32:12]
the in addition to the hard cost numbers
[3:32:15]
that we talked about of 540 million,
[3:32:18]
we've looked into some indirect impacts
[3:32:21]
and I I would say that overall the
[3:32:23]
analysis that we've provided you now is
[3:32:26]
very conservative and it mostly does not
[3:32:28]
delve into secondary and tertiary
[3:32:31]
economic impacts. This is mostly a
[3:32:33]
primary impact analysis, but looking
[3:32:36]
through some of the Bureau of Economic
[3:32:38]
Analysis multipliers as they pertain to
[3:32:41]
construction in our region, we see that
[3:32:44]
while the Vesper team might be spending
[3:32:46]
540 million in hard costs, that also has
[3:32:49]
a cascading benefit through the
[3:32:51]
construction industry. Um, as
[3:32:53]
contractors come, you know, on site,
[3:32:55]
they pay workers, those dollars move out
[3:32:57]
into your community. So if we if we just
[3:33:01]
want to we want to give you sort of a a
[3:33:04]
number that you can you can interpret
[3:33:06]
through your annual budgeting process.
[3:33:09]
Um I actually used to work in government
[3:33:11]
myself and I always wanted to know how
[3:33:13]
much does this actually help me or cost
[3:33:16]
me per year um in terms of this change.
[3:33:20]
So at minimum we see a positive net
[3:33:23]
impact for the city of $2.3 million per
[3:33:27]
year. Um, we've also given some other
[3:33:29]
ways to view that, which would be total
[3:33:31]
cash flows over a 30-year period or net
[3:33:33]
present value.
[3:33:35]
um those are perhaps less important, but
[3:33:38]
you could think you could think of the
[3:33:40]
fact that after the project is up and
[3:33:43]
absorbed and running online, every year
[3:33:46]
when you enter your budget process, you
[3:33:48]
would have $2.3 million more likely to allocate and program for general city
[3:33:55]
services than you would have today. So,
[3:33:58]
that's one lens that you could look look
[3:34:00]
at it through. Um, moving on to the next
[3:34:03]
slide. I think we wanted to and and
[3:34:07]
Brian obviously interrupt me or or uh
[3:34:10]
add add anything you wish as I go. We
[3:34:14]
wanted to
[3:34:15]
>> the the only the only thing that maybe
[3:34:17]
popped out uh as we were just chatting
[3:34:19]
um is that is the this is a conservative
[3:34:22]
approach and so those tertiary,
[3:34:24]
secondary, and tertiary fiscal impacts
[3:34:25]
aren't reflected in the report. And it
[3:34:27]
might be good just to maybe mention what
[3:34:29]
that would look like. um what what like
[3:34:32]
maybe some examples of what those might
[3:34:33]
be.
[3:34:34]
>> Yeah. So I think if we just if we just
[3:34:37]
think geographically actually for a
[3:34:39]
moment, we know that a significant
[3:34:42]
amount of of the access points to the
[3:34:46]
site depend on people traversing from
[3:34:48]
I-15 through ORM or up um coming north
[3:34:52]
through Provo or even down from Hebrew
[3:34:55]
City for example. So as people come
[3:34:58]
through those corridors, we expect other
[3:35:00]
sales transactions to happen um within
[3:35:03]
those geographic areas. So right now the
[3:35:06]
analysis is saying what is the impact of
[3:35:09]
the vesper site only. It doesn't
[3:35:11]
consider those external transactions
[3:35:14]
those secondary and tertiary induced
[3:35:16]
demand that would happen on a lot of the
[3:35:18]
main thoroughares through ORM and Provo.
[3:35:21]
So um that is a uh a a more more of an
[3:35:26]
estimation procedure w with data that we
[3:35:28]
don't have at the moment. We could work
[3:35:30]
on it by collaborating with the city and
[3:35:33]
with the city of Oram. Um but the things
[3:35:36]
that go into that would be looking at
[3:35:38]
traffic existing traffic volumes on your
[3:35:41]
main on those main thorough thoroughares
[3:35:43]
that lead to the site and then your
[3:35:46]
existing point of sale economy in those
[3:35:48]
geographies. So I know your your finance
[3:35:52]
team and your economic development
[3:35:53]
director probably have access to this
[3:35:55]
data. Um you know working to summarize
[3:35:59]
that or or look at what would the
[3:36:01]
effects be. We could we could
[3:36:03]
collaborate with them on that front as
[3:36:05]
well. But as Brian said at the moment
[3:36:08]
this analysis just isolates the economic
[3:36:11]
and fiscal impacts to the actual site
[3:36:14]
itself. So what we're saying here when
[3:36:17]
we talk about sales revenues these this
[3:36:20]
is just the projected sales and lodging
[3:36:22]
revenues from the the proposed Vesper
[3:36:24]
site only. I just want that to be clear
[3:36:27]
and the same thing is true of course
[3:36:28]
with um property tax.
[3:36:32]
Um so with that uh preamble or
[3:36:35]
clarification
[3:36:36]
um we we do have a decomposition of the
[3:36:39]
2 on average again this is an average
[3:36:42]
number per year. So of course as the
[3:36:45]
project is absorbed there's going to be
[3:36:48]
increasing revenue as that happens and
[3:36:51]
then we have a inflation factor as well.
[3:36:54]
But what I wanted to do when with giving
[3:36:56]
you an average was just to say at about
[3:36:59]
the midpoint of the project life how is
[3:37:02]
it going and how much money is that per
[3:37:04]
year. So at the 2.45 45 million of new
[3:37:08]
revenue. Approximately 1.5 million of
[3:37:11]
that is from sales tax and then um
[3:37:15]
864,000 is from property tax. There's
[3:37:19]
some more nominal transient room tax
[3:37:21]
from the lodging on site and then we
[3:37:24]
expect there to be some municipal energy
[3:37:26]
tax as well. But you'll see from the
[3:37:29]
chart above that the material source of
[3:37:31]
revenue is the sales transactions and
[3:37:35]
all of the activity that's happening
[3:37:36]
from the amphitheater itself. Um in our report we talk about expenses and
[3:37:44]
we talked about the potential for the
[3:37:46]
city to issue licensing fees or event
[3:37:50]
fees. Um I I don't want to presume too
[3:37:53]
much in how you might undertake th those
[3:37:56]
your view of that, but we we did assume
[3:37:59]
that um a lot of the event fees would go
[3:38:03]
to pay for event related um costs. So
[3:38:07]
for example, if you're flexing your
[3:38:09]
police force up a little bit on an event
[3:38:11]
day, um that's part of the reason why
[3:38:14]
you have event fees available to your to
[3:38:16]
you to charge. So in for the purposes of
[3:38:19]
the analysis, we assume that those
[3:38:22]
effects netted themselves out, but you
[3:38:26]
will still have additional expense
[3:38:28]
increases from the addition of new
[3:38:30]
long-term population that we think that
[3:38:33]
this facility will will create. A lot of
[3:38:36]
that has to do with jobs. So if we go to
[3:38:38]
the I believe the next slide addresses
[3:38:40]
that.
[3:38:42]
So the the staffing needs of the
[3:38:44]
facility itself, especially when you're
[3:38:46]
running at full capacity
[3:38:49]
um is projected at 957 jobs and um Brian
[3:38:54]
and the Vesper team have shown you a
[3:38:56]
decomposition of how many full-time and
[3:38:58]
part-time employees that might mean and
[3:39:01]
then seasonal employees. Um, in addition
[3:39:04]
to that, we like to look at how many of
[3:39:07]
those new jobs are likely can c
[3:39:10]
candidates to become long-term Provo
[3:39:12]
residents. So, in order to conduct that
[3:39:14]
analysis, we actually use the US census.
[3:39:17]
And admittedly, this, you know, the US
[3:39:19]
census is a survey, of course, but it's among the best sources of data on
[3:39:24]
employment trends in your in your city.
[3:39:27]
So, we depended on the census for this.
[3:39:29]
And what we look at is the number of of
[3:39:32]
the number of workers in your community,
[3:39:35]
how many work in Provo and live in
[3:39:38]
Provo. And so we looked at the existing
[3:39:40]
trend there and then we applied it to
[3:39:43]
the new jobs that that are to be
[3:39:45]
created. So of the 957
[3:39:48]
new jobs, we project that about 195 of
[3:39:52]
those people would become long-term
[3:39:55]
residents. And you'll want to we you'll
[3:39:58]
want to maintain your level of service
[3:40:00]
for your residents. So we assume that
[3:40:02]
okay as you add new population that
[3:40:05]
means new expenses for the city as well.
[3:40:08]
And we bake that into the analysis. That
[3:40:11]
comes out to be anywhere from $200,000
[3:40:14]
to $400,000 a year depending on the
[3:40:18]
year. But the net impact still comes
[3:40:21]
down to approximately the plus 2.3.
[3:40:25]
um uh $2.5 million a year depending on
[3:40:28]
the year. So I've given average numbers
[3:40:30]
there, but um the full report you can
[3:40:34]
look at yearbyear.
[3:40:36]
So I think our conclusion overall if if I had to close out my five minutes um
[3:40:43]
Brian is that the project is a
[3:40:46]
significant capital investment. We think
[3:40:48]
it's a unique um asset that would
[3:40:51]
position Provo City and Utah County to capture a certain market and product
[3:40:57]
that it is certainly has great um
[3:41:00]
cultural amenities, but this would add a
[3:41:03]
different kind of of scale and and
[3:41:06]
potentially in a in a very beautiful and
[3:41:08]
unique environment. Of course, I'll say
[3:41:10]
that this the numbers you're seeing here
[3:41:13]
we feel are responsible, reasonable, and
[3:41:16]
very conservative. and the likely
[3:41:18]
economic impact is going to outpace what
[3:41:21]
you're seeing in the report and the
[3:41:23]
slides here because we've we've only
[3:41:25]
shown the direct impacts. Um, but we
[3:41:27]
wanted to be biased on the more
[3:41:29]
conservative side. So, we could say to
[3:41:32]
you if if the project happens, it's at
[3:41:35]
least as beneficial as this, but likely
[3:41:38]
to do better than that.
[3:41:42]
You just clarify 540 the cost for the
[3:41:45]
project includes everything else
[3:41:48]
structure just not 800
[3:41:51]
>> 800 interchange is excluded from that
[3:41:53]
but yeah everything else is included in
[3:41:54]
that number council member mccor
[3:42:00]
[clears throat]
[3:42:01]
not have gone through
[3:42:04]
the slides beforehand that property tax
[3:42:07]
number is the total property tax that's
[3:42:09]
school district that's Proolo City,
[3:42:12]
that's Utah County, that's um central
[3:42:15]
Utah water, right? It's all together in
[3:42:17]
one number. You don't have
[3:42:20]
>> No. So I'm I'm just I when I talk about
[3:42:24]
the 800,000, I believe I'm only This is
[3:42:27]
Provo City. So across the entire
[3:42:30]
property taxing complex, the school
[3:42:33]
district will have the most revenue, of
[3:42:36]
course. Um, but I believe when we're
[3:42:38]
looking at that 864, that's just with
[3:42:40]
respect to the city and that's an
[3:42:43]
average number to be clear.
[3:42:45]
>> Can you can you see my screen uh by
[3:42:47]
chance, Eric?
[3:42:49]
>> Yes.
[3:42:50]
>> Okay. So, sorry, I'm just scrolling
[3:42:51]
through the report to address council
[3:42:53]
member Bogdan's question. And this right
[3:42:56]
here,
[3:42:57]
>> so there's a Yeah, there's a section
[3:42:59]
that's called fiscal impact. And then
[3:43:02]
when it says new revenues across
[3:43:04]
entities, there's a property tax table
[3:43:07]
and I think it's above the sales tax
[3:43:10]
table. So if you just go
[3:43:16]
right here, this will show you the um
[3:43:20]
full taxing uh full property taxing
[3:43:22]
authority complex. And the reason why um
[3:43:27]
you see in in Provo City 959,
[3:43:31]
you know, when we were talking about the
[3:43:32]
800,000 number, we're talking about
[3:43:34]
average numbers across the life of the
[3:43:36]
project. And in the early phase, there's
[3:43:39]
no property tax cuz the improvements are
[3:43:41]
quite low. So in years 0 through three,
[3:43:45]
I think it's like hardly any new
[3:43:48]
assessed value is online. But then once
[3:43:51]
you get to year one of real revenue,
[3:43:54]
that number is actually a little bit
[3:43:55]
higher even. Um, most [clears throat] of
[3:43:58]
the revenue as as usual is going to the
[3:44:02]
school district.
[3:44:04]
>> And that's Can you call that number out,
[3:44:06]
Brian? Is 4 million.
[3:44:06]
>> It's that 4 million.
[3:44:07]
>> 4.2 million.
[3:44:09]
>> Yeah.
[3:44:10]
>> So that's the number that annually,
[3:44:12]
again, that's an average number, but
[3:44:14]
that's the number that would annually go
[3:44:16]
to Provo City School District. So, it's it's subst it is substantial.
[3:44:20]
Excuse me.
[3:44:21]
>> And when you scroll down one more page,
[3:44:23]
if you could [clears throat]
[3:44:25]
>> what what is your arts and zoo? We don't
[3:44:27]
have a zoo in Utah County. Are you
[3:44:29]
thinking that's our wrap tax?
[3:44:32]
>> That's just
[3:44:33]
>> Yeah. Go ahead.
[3:44:34]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[3:44:37]
>> That was down maybe two pages or
[3:44:39]
>> Yeah.
[3:44:41]
>> So, the mill her question is what is the
[3:44:43]
mill levy for this? No, no. The you're
[3:44:46]
saying the Utah County doesn't assess
[3:44:48]
the arts and zoo tax. So,
[3:44:50]
>> we have the rap tax.
[3:44:52]
>> Is that the same thing that you're
[3:44:54]
looking at?
[3:44:54]
>> It does. It it can be deployed for that
[3:44:56]
purpose
[3:44:58]
>> in the sales tax.
[3:45:00]
>> The sales tax table is a little bit
[3:45:01]
lower. Brian,
[3:45:03]
>> yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[3:45:06]
>> Maybe. Yeah. Right there.
[3:45:07]
>> Yeah.
[3:45:08]
>> You see the arts and zoom on the bottom.
[3:45:10]
CZ.
[3:45:11]
>> Yep.
[3:45:13]
What were you thinking with that is my
[3:45:15]
question.
[3:45:17]
>> I'm just looking at the tax commission
[3:45:20]
the elected rates on the tax commission
[3:45:22]
site and it's indicated for uh Utah
[3:45:26]
County. If it gets deployed for that
[3:45:28]
purpose then or if it's not collected
[3:45:31]
that may be the case. I'm I'm going off
[3:45:33]
of the tax commission's table in this in
[3:45:35]
this instance
[3:45:37]
>> for Utah for Utah County Eric. Right.
[3:45:39]
>> Yeah.
[3:45:40]
>> Okay.
[3:45:43]
So that's for the county total is not
[3:45:45]
necessarily what Provo City would see
[3:45:47]
for a wrap tax which is recreation, arts
[3:45:49]
and parks.
[3:45:51]
>> Correct. So So the Provo City portion uh
[3:45:54]
council member Bogdan is that that
[3:45:57]
second this number right here. So this
[3:45:59]
is the portion that Provo City would
[3:46:02]
see. So the sales in use that would be
[3:46:04]
generated like Eric said directly on
[3:46:06]
site from ticket sales, concessions,
[3:46:08]
restaurants, hotels, all of those
[3:46:10]
things, that point of sales would be
[3:46:12]
$1.47 million that Provo would see. The
[3:46:15]
864 would come from the increased of
[3:46:17]
assessed value from what it is today uh
[3:46:19]
up to that 560 uhish million and then
[3:46:22]
there would be some additional transit
[3:46:24]
room tax, municipal energy tax that
[3:46:26]
would be collected in total which again
[3:46:27]
on average totals that 2.45. If you
[3:46:30]
subtract out the 223 uh expenses,
[3:46:33]
223,000, that gets you to that $2.3
[3:46:36]
million total of fiscal benefit to Provo
[3:46:39]
City.
[3:46:41]
[clears throat]
[3:46:41]
>> Thank you.
[3:46:43]
>> Okay, if there are no other questions,
[3:46:46]
we'll let Eric um we'll let Eric do his
[3:46:48]
thing. Eric, thanks so much for for
[3:46:49]
being on and and jumping on. Thank you.
[3:46:51]
>> Yep. Thanks for having us with you. Good
[3:46:53]
night. Good night.
[3:46:56]
>> Okay, so we'll move to a close meeting.
[3:46:59]
Yes. Yeah. This
[3:47:02]
[laughter]
[3:47:04]
>> Yes. We have a topic uh scheduled for
[3:47:07]
the council for discussion and closed
[3:47:08]
meeting that has to do with uh sale of
[3:47:11]
property and therefore it's appropriate
[3:47:13]
for a closed meeting for a motion at
[3:47:14]
this time.
[3:47:17]
>> I move
[3:47:18]
>> that we close the meeting for the
[3:47:20]
reasons Brian stated.
[3:47:22]
