[0:00] old enough for that.

[0:01] » Okay, thank you.

[0:03] » No, you're not. You must have got

[0:04] married. Did you get married young?

[0:07] » You're kind of late.

[0:08] » How old were you?

[0:09] » 25 members.

[0:10] » I was 29.

[0:12] » But my kids waited.

[0:13] » It would be

[0:14] » Oh, well that that Thanks. Yeah.

[0:16] » So, we got one more coming.

[0:19] » No, that's Jason.

[0:20] » Okay. Just Jason.

[0:21] » That's why that's

[0:24] » We only had three today.

[0:26] » We [clears throat] don't have a

[0:27] » That's nice.

[0:27] » But one of them was one year. How many

[0:29] kids?

[0:30] » Yeah.

[0:32] » Oh, that's

[0:33] » So, we need two, right?

[0:34] » I always get teased in those meetings

[0:36] that we [laughter]

[0:37] » You and Lane didn't

[0:38] » Yeah. Lane beat me. He had 10. So,

[0:41] » Go. [laughter]

[0:44] » Oh,

[0:47] » Just so you know,

[0:48] » We know.

[0:48] » I didn't say anything bad.

[0:50] » You can start whenever.

[0:53] » Welcome everybody to our planning

[0:54] commission meeting tonight. It is the uh

[0:57] Tuesday, January 13th. Um and u we have

[1:04] all of our commissioners here except

[1:06] Jason who uh had Jason, right? Who has

[1:10] uh been excused. Um

[1:13] we um we'll start with uh public

[1:18] comment. Um there's no public here. Uh,

[1:22] so we'll move on to item C, presentation

[1:26] and reports. Mr.

[1:29] Cooper,

[1:30] » Thank you.

[1:34] » Um,

[1:37] I think it was just Kent. Was that was

[1:40] he was he at the America First Ribbon

[1:43] Cutting? Maybe it was Allen. I'm

[1:45] thinking of. Um,

[1:47] we had the uh Yeah, we had the America

[1:50] First Credit Union topping off.

[1:51] » Oh, I didn't make it.

[1:53] » Yeah, the topping off ceremony, which

[1:55] everyone signs the beam and then it gets

[1:57] lifted up to the to the top of the

[1:59] building.

[2:00] » You tell me I could sign the beam. I

[2:01] would have been there.

[2:02] » Is that a Is that a normal thing that

[2:04] they do for building?

[2:04] » It is. Yeah, it's a long-standing

[2:07] tradition in construction, especially on

[2:10] major projects like that. And it was

[2:12] pretty fun. They had a number of

[2:14] speakers there and um no publicity. I

[2:18] was hoping that the news outlets would

[2:20] pick it up because it is a significant

[2:22] thing. Riverdale City is the the

[2:24] [clears throat] home of America First

[2:25] Credit Union has been and um I think we

[2:28] should be proud of that. We should be

[2:29] proud of the campus that they're

[2:31] building. It's a significant investment

[2:34] um that is not something you see every

[2:37] day. So, it was it was a wonderful

[2:39] experience and we'll get to do it four

[2:41] more times, I think. I hope

[2:44] » Up there.

[2:45] » Uh-huh.

[2:46] » Yeah.

[2:47] » Um, so if you miss this one, we'll we'll

[2:49] catch you on the next one.

[2:50] » Okay.

[2:51] » Uh, we're working with a new business

[2:53] right now um at 4224

[2:56] River Road. It's a a glass company um

[3:00] [clears throat] and uh it's called Optic

[3:02] Clear and they're going into the Truly

[3:05] Nolan Bu building. if you're familiar

[3:07] with that building. So, I'll put on your

[3:10] calendars a ribbon cutting for them.

[3:12] It's not until March, so it's a it's a

[3:14] little ways away, but I'll send that out

[3:16] to you.

[3:17] » Question is, is there that one that was

[3:19] going to go in there that was a kind of

[3:20] a convenience store? Were they still

[3:22] they're not going to do it?

[3:23] » Nope. They elected to go somewhere else.

[3:25] I'm not sure where.

[3:28] » Okay.

[3:28] » Summer.

[3:30] » Oh,

[3:31] » Yeah. They were looking at another

[3:32] location in a commercial zone in town,

[3:34] but it didn't pan out. So, I I hope I

[3:38] hope they went somewhere and found

[3:40] success.

[3:41] » Yeah.

[3:44] » Uh that's really the highlights. Uh

[3:46] we're working on a number of things

[3:48] right now that will come to you either

[3:50] in the form of a reszone request or a

[3:53] site plan um

[3:56] or uh

[3:59] subdivision. So, there's a number of

[4:01] things happening.

[4:02] » The um [snorts] town homes I notice are

[4:05] almost complete. Uh [clears throat] in

[4:07] fact, it looks like maybe some are ready

[4:09] to be to occupy. I'm not sure,

[4:12] » But um are they do you know if they're

[4:14] planning on a ribbon cutting, anything

[4:15] like that?

[4:16] » Yeah, I'm working with them on that

[4:17] right now. So, they are leasing up a few

[4:19] of the initial buildings that they've

[4:21] completed and received a certificate of

[4:22] occupancy for. Uh they wanted to wait

[4:25] for the ribbon cutting until they got

[4:27] all of the buildings finished. So that's

[4:29] um should be probably I would say first

[4:32] part of February.

[4:33] » Okay.

[4:33] » Okay. That's all the one, two, three,

[4:36] four bedrooms complete.

[4:37] » Yep.

[4:38] » Somebody asked me and I couldn't explain

[4:39] it to them why they can't sell them and

[4:42] I don't know. Why aren't they eligible

[4:44] to be sold?

[4:45] » It's a good question. Um right now

[4:50] our code is written in such a way that

[4:53] only allows a certain um type of street,

[4:56] certain street width, uh publicly owned

[4:59] water, sewer, all of those things. And

[5:03] in order to do a subdivision that has

[5:05] individual lots, then all of those

[5:07] things need to be public, the the street

[5:10] and the utilities. And that means that

[5:12] they have to meet our our minimum

[5:14] standards. Um, in this case, they

[5:17] weren't able to do that because the

[5:18] streets are are narrower and the

[5:20] utilities are private and so it's a

[5:22] single lot instead of individual lots

[5:24] and it's a private uh street and private

[5:27] utility system. the um the plan

[5:31] development text amendment that you all

[5:34] um heard and and took action on last

[5:38] meeting

[5:40] kind of corrects for that because it

[5:41] gives the city both on the staff side

[5:44] and the um planning commission and city

[5:47] council an option to approve alternative

[5:51] types of developments that may not be

[5:53] consistent with our city code but still

[5:55] are beneficial and desirable. And so

[5:57] that's um going to give us a lot of

[5:59] flexibility to where now we can have

[6:01] projects that don't meet those um base

[6:05] code requirements. But through a

[6:08] development agreement, we can determine

[6:10] what is what is um reasonable and get

[6:12] that approved.

[6:13] » That would be changed in the future.

[6:15] » No, it's a matter of platting. So you

[6:18] have to plat each individual unit um its

[6:23] own parcel and then each one has its own

[6:26] uh separate utility connection. Um so it

[6:30] it's not impossible but it would be very

[6:32] expensive and very difficult to come

[6:34] back to it and plat it

[6:36] » Uh as individual homes.

[6:40] » Thank you.

[6:42] » Okay. Um thank you very much Mr. Cooper.

[6:46] Um we have uh item D is uh consent

[6:51] items. Um

[6:53] we uh are considering the minutes from

[6:56] the meetings of December 23rd, the work

[7:00] session and the regular work meeting.

[7:02] Any um adjustments to any of those

[7:06] minutes that anybody's aware of they'd

[7:09] like to bring up? Michelle?

[7:11] » Um I just need to add you as excused. I

[7:15] had you here for the

[7:20] » Session. I wasn't gone for I know

[7:21] » On the 23rd of

[7:22] » So I just need to take your name off of

[7:23] one of them.

[7:24] » Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah.

[7:26] » I had planned to be here but

[7:29] didn't make it. So uh so um motion is in

[7:34] order then.

[7:35] » I move that we approve the minutes for

[7:38] December 23rd, 2025 work session and

[7:41] 2023rd 2025 regular meeting. Second.

[7:44] » I'll second on that motion.

[7:46] » Okay. And all in favor?

[7:48] » Yes.

[7:50] » Any opposed? Okay. Voting's unanimous.

[7:54] Uh action item E is uh consideration

[7:59] uh for nominating and voting on the

[8:02] select planning commission chair and uh

[8:05] a vice chair if necessary. Um since uh

[8:09] Jason's not here tonight, we're going to

[8:12] uh table that. So, if we could get

[8:14] someone to um um make a motion that we

[8:19] table that and we will uh do that at our

[8:23] next meeting.

[8:24] » I make a motion that we table the

[8:26] commission consideration nomination and

[8:28] voting to select planning commission

[8:30] chair and possibly vice chair until our

[8:33] next meeting.

[8:34] » Second.

[8:35] » Second.

[8:36] » Okay. Um did you want to state the date

[8:38] of the next meeting?

[8:44] It's the

[8:45] » Should be the today's the 13th, so it

[8:48] should be the 27th, right?

[8:50] » On February or January 27th, 2026.

[8:53] » Okay.

[8:57] And uh all in favor?

[8:59] » Yes.

[9:00] » Any opposed?

[9:02] Okay. And moving along to

[9:06] um item F. uh any comments that uh or um

[9:13] in questions that anybody has they'd

[9:16] like to bring up?

[9:17] » Is there still any plan for CarMax to

[9:20] come in? Just talk about that.

[9:23] » Yeah, we don't have a formal uh site

[9:26] plan submission just yet. So, we're not

[9:28] talking about it too much. It is public

[9:31] information. So, uh it's okay to mention

[9:34] it. they have come in for a DRC where

[9:37] which is a design review committee where

[9:40] we look at um uh actually I'm sorry yeah

[9:44] we did the DRC we look at elevations we

[9:47] look at landscaping things like that and

[9:48] they've also done a pre-application

[9:50] meeting with staff to look at just

[9:52] general site plan questions that they

[9:55] have um so they're working on it from

[9:58] what I understand is they put the

[9:59] property under contract and then they

[10:01] have a long due diligence period that

[10:04] allows them to go through full

[10:05] entitlement before they close. That

[10:08] means that they know before they buy the

[10:11] property that the the proposed

[10:13] dealership can be built and under what

[10:15] conditions. So, they're still in that

[10:17] process. It's probably going to last a

[10:20] number of months and then if it's

[10:22] successful, then we'll get a formal

[10:23] submission.

[10:24] » Where's the proposed property at?

[10:26] » Uh right there on 4,400 South and 700

[10:29] West

[10:30] » Where the uh mobile home park used to

[10:32] be.

[10:32] » Oh, that one. Okay.

[10:33] » Mhm. All right. Well, another question.

[10:36] Uh, someone asked me,

[10:38] » "Is there any plans to do something with

[10:40] the subway that has been closed there on

[10:42] Riverdale Road,

[10:44] » Pennies?"

[10:45] » Um,

[10:47] so both subways were managed by the same

[10:50] individual. Uh, that individual no

[10:52] longer is part of that. Um,

[10:55] » I know that they're trying to lease the

[10:57] building. Uh, the one closest to us over

[11:01] here. I don't I think the operator of

[11:04] the subway actually owns the other

[11:06] building on the other side of the vibe.

[11:08] Um

[11:10] given the fact that Subway corporate

[11:12] isn't backfilling that location with

[11:15] another franchisee, it has me

[11:18] questioning because now Riverdale City

[11:20] has no subway. Um

[11:23] so all that to be said, no, we don't

[11:26] know of any plans. the the building

[11:28] owner for the one over here is just

[11:30] trying to lease the space to anyone. So

[11:32] that makes me believe there's no subway.

[11:35] » Okay. Thanks.

[11:38] » Okay.

[11:41] [snorts] If there's uh no other comments

[11:43] then uh a uh motion to adjurnn is in

[11:47] order.

[11:48] » I move that we adjourn.

[11:51] » Can a second?

[11:51] » I'll second that.

[11:52] » Okay. All in favor?

[11:54] » Yes.

[11:56] Okay. So now we will go into our work

[12:00] session

[12:02] and uh we will be discussing

[12:07] um continuing to discuss the changes to

[12:11] the uh um I can't think of what it's

[12:14] called.

[12:15] » Title 10.

[12:16] » Title 10.

[12:16] » Okay.

[12:17] » We do have some uh training

[12:20] » By our esteemed Michelle. So it's

[12:23] probably best done upstairs, right?

[12:25] Okay. So, um

[12:26] » So, we're going to adjourn upstairs.

[12:28] » Yeah.

[12:28] » Okay.

[12:28] » Yep.
