[0:00] All right. Uh, good evening everyone. We [0:02] will call the planning commission um to [0:05] order. It is Wednesday, September 2nd at [0:09] 5:59 p.m. Um, I would like to welcome [0:13] our newest planning commissioner, uh, [0:15] Commissioner Johnson. Welcome. Um, and [0:18] we will start with the pledge of [0:21] allegiance. I've asked Commissioner [0:22] Clayson to lead us in that. [0:24] >> Audience, please rise and repeat the [0:25] pledge after me. [0:30] To the flag of the United States of [0:33] America and to the republic for it [0:36] stands one nation under God indivisible [0:40] with liberty and justice for all. [0:45] » Thank you. The first item of business is [0:48] adopting the minutes of our August 5th [0:51] to 2026 meeting. I understand they're 50 [0:54] pages long. Um I'd entertain a motion to [0:57] approve those minutes. I'll make a [0:59] motion to approve the minutes for our [1:01] last uh planning commission meeting. [1:02] >> I'll second. [1:03] >> All in favor? [1:04] >> I I [clears throat] [1:07] >> Great. And then the first um second [1:11] order of business is preliminary plat [1:14] the meadow subdivision plat A. [1:20] David. [1:23] >> All right. [clears throat] [1:25] So, this is a a property uh on the near [1:29] the corner of Metal Lane and uh State [1:32] Route 51. [1:34] Um it's kind of centrally located around [1:38] existing subdivisions that have been [1:40] built over time over the past uh decade [1:42] or so. Uh most recently, the town homes [1:45] that uh above this property. Um what's [1:50] being proposed uh is a single family [1:53] residential [1:54] uh subdivision. Uh this is in the R16 [1:57] zone and so it is a standard [2:00] subdivision. There's no overlay uh that [2:03] would require further review or uh [2:06] additional requirements. So as long as [2:08] they're meeting the minimum [2:09] requirements, then it's uh it needs to be approved uh based [2:16] on the the administrative process. [2:19] Um, so you can see outlined uh in yellow [2:22] on the subdivision plot there's a a [2:26] rideway [2:27] for power lines that is about 150 ft [2:31] wide. So that uh definitely encumbers [2:34] this property uh makes it so they can't [2:36] build anything within that easement. So [2:39] you can see the building envelopes are [2:40] shown in the in the dashed line uh on [2:43] the south end of of these proposed lots. [2:47] Um, [2:49] so the lots range in size from uh 10, [2:53] 509 square feet up to 20,465 [2:57] square ft. Um, the front setbacks [3:02] because of the easement, they range from [3:05] [clears throat] 95 to 135 ft. So [3:08] definitely larger than what you [3:10] typically see. Um [3:14] there uh on lot four is the smallest [3:17] building envelope uh which is 1100 [3:20] square ft. [3:22] Um and um there [3:26] uh we talked to the applicant about the [3:29] uh front yard requirements. Our code [3:32] says that you're not allowed to have [3:34] more than 60% imperous surface, meaning [3:37] it can't be paved or structure. It has [3:42] to be something that allows the storm [3:45] water to to filter into the ground. Uh, [3:48] typically it's landscaped. And so, um, [3:52] wanted to make sure that they were okay [3:54] with that requirement [clears throat] [3:55] with such a large front yard area, um, [3:58] to to deal with. Um if you want to go [4:02] through the next few slides, I did uh [4:04] visit the site. Um you can see uh where [4:09] it abuts these uh town homes. Uh you've [4:12] got existing landscaping, curving and [4:14] gutter. [4:15] Um but where it goes along State Route [4:18] 51, there are some improvements that [4:20] need to be made so that uh this can meet [4:23] the the standard requirements for this [4:26] type of roadway. [4:29] Um, [4:31] so staff is uh recommending approval [4:33] because uh founds that it did meet all [4:36] the requirements and I'm happy to answer [4:37] any questions that you might have. [4:40] >> Any questions for David? [4:43] >> So the the existing property that uh or [4:47] I guess there's a house adjacent to that doesn't change, right? That I'm I'm [4:51] sitting right there. Yeah, there's two [4:52] parcels that are south of this that are [4:55] uh owned and are not a part of this [4:59] subdivision proposal. [5:00] >> Okay. [5:02] Would improvements along 51 um the state [5:05] route 51 continue in front of those or [5:08] those houses or [5:09] >> uh it would just be as as long as the [5:13] that that abuts state 51. [5:16] >> Okay. Just as long as that. Okay. [5:17] >> So, yeah. So, we'll have a little gap. [5:19] >> There'd still be a gap there. And this [5:21] just one final gap, right? So, [5:24] >> okay. [5:27] >> Any other questions? [5:29] >> And do we have the applicant here? [5:32] >> Okay, [5:33] >> Madam Chair. [5:35] >> Yes. [5:35] >> Do you mind if I just add to some things [5:37] that Dave mentioned? [5:38] >> Absolutely. This is unique for us. You [5:41] would think that we call it a standard [5:43] subdivision that that would be the norm, [5:46] but it really isn't. And and what we [5:49] mean by standard subdivision [5:52] is that the design of the project, all [5:56] of the lots meet all of our zoning [5:59] criteria for the particular zoning [6:02] district that they're in. So those [6:03] criteria are things like lot size, how [6:08] deep a lot is, how wide a lot is. Um I [6:12] think those are kind of the main ones. [6:15] And most of the time [6:18] when subdivisions are presented to the [6:20] planning commission, they're presented [6:22] to to you [6:24] um in a different form, the different [6:26] application that's called the master [6:27] planned development. And in that [6:30] instance, ultimately the city council [6:32] can approve a project um that has some [6:35] deviations on at least some of the lots [6:37] from those basic zoning criteria. [6:41] Um, I think relative to what's before [6:44] you guys tonight, and I think you know [6:45] it, but I just want to point it out [6:47] maybe in case anybody else cares with [6:49] standard subdivisions, the planning [6:51] commission is the land use authority. [6:53] So, tonight you'll be uh either [6:57] recommending for approval, I'm sorry, I [7:00] just blew it. Whole point is saying [7:02] you're going to either uh move is what I [7:05] meant, move to approve, you can move to [7:09] deny. we'd want to talk about why. [7:11] Because frankly, once we find that a [7:13] project meets all of the zoning criteria [7:16] and the zoning is already in place, then [7:19] the city's latitude in terms of of [7:22] withholding an approval is really [7:23] limited. Um, not to make this sound like [7:26] a rubber stamp type of a thing, but uh [7:28] that really is the reality. Um, if by [7:31] chance there's anything that you wanted [7:32] by way of more information on this [7:34] project, you might also consider a [7:36] continuence, you know, maybe with some [7:38] direction to staff to research [7:40] additional things, to ask the applicant [7:42] to provide additional information or [7:44] anything like that at all. Um, so thank [7:47] you for letting me take just a minute to [7:49] describe that. [7:50] >> Thanks, Dave. And we'll invite the [7:52] applicant up if you could please um [7:54] state your name. [8:00] I'm Ryan Livingston. [8:04] » Is there anything you would like to add [8:05] um to the presentation? [8:06] >> No, I think he covered it. It's just [8:08] going to be a standard subdivision with [8:10] single family homes that will be more on [8:12] that entry level price point. [8:15] >> Any questions from the commission [8:17] >> with with really big front yards [8:20] >> with a big driveway [8:21] >> with a really long driveway. And then [8:23] what what does it mean on the [8:24] landscaping when it was like just an [8:26] impervious [8:28] um surface? What's what's that going to [8:30] look like? What what typically [8:32] that's such a huge front yard. What what [8:34] is going to be [8:35] >> have a a driveway with grass, [8:37] >> some type of, you know, planters as far [8:40] as shrubs and trees? [8:41] >> Could someone do all gravel? [8:44] >> Then you're going to have to meet the standard that the city requires. [8:48] >> Okay. What What is our standard [8:52] like that? So yeah, so anything that's [8:54] not uh there is a landscaping [8:57] requirement. So that's where that [8:59] impervious surface requirement fits in. [9:02] >> So could it just be [9:03] >> all gravel, [9:04] >> right? Correct. It could it could not be [9:06] that. [9:07] >> It could not be that. There has to be [9:08] some greenery to it. [9:12] >> Okay. [9:13] >> What What size of property or sorry, [9:15] what size of houses are you talking? You [9:16] said entry- level price point just kind [9:18] of [9:18] >> you're probably going to be in that 2500 [9:20] to 3500 foot house. [9:23] >> Okay. [9:27] » Any other questions? Okay. Thank you, [9:30] Ryan. [9:30] >> Thank you. [9:31] >> Um, this is not a public hearing for [9:34] this agenda item. Any other discussion [9:36] or comment from the commission? [9:41] » It's kind of a unique property with the [9:42] power lines. Obviously, it's I don't [9:44] know that there's anything too beyond [9:46] that uniqueness that [9:48] >> here. I don't see any concerns or [9:51] obviously it aligns with what uh the [9:53] subdivision should be. So, [9:54] >> I think they've done a good job with the [9:56] way the property is set up. So, [10:00] >> there's a lot of creativity around those [10:01] power lines that are running through [10:03] that side of our town. So, [10:07] >> uh with that, I'll entertain a motion. [10:12] I'll make a motion that we approve this [10:14] proposed metal subdivision plate A [10:16] preliminary plat [10:19] on the city recommendations. [10:22] >> Second. [10:23] >> All in favor? [10:25] >> I Any opposed? Motion passes. All [10:30] right. Thank you. Moving on to the next [10:32] agenda item number five. Uh this is a [10:35] zone change for Oak Village. [10:40] Brandon, [10:41] >> thank you. Thank you for being here [10:42] tonight. Uh the next two items five and [10:45] six, we're going to talk about them [10:47] both, but ultimately we will need to [10:49] open two separate public hearings and [10:51] then have two separate motions. Both of [10:53] these would be recommendations that the [10:55] planning commission would be making to [10:57] the city council. So the first item uh [11:00] 5.1 on your agenda is the zone change. [11:03] Then the second one is the um [11:06] preliminary plat for master plan [11:07] development that would go um with the [11:10] zone change. So this is the area that [11:13] we're looking at. It's property just to [11:15] the south of Maple Mountain High School. [11:16] Let's go to the next slide. Um there's [11:19] the high school. You can see there [11:20] property is currently vacant. It's in [11:22] agricultural production on the south uh [11:26] east corner of the property. We've got [11:28] an existing chapel. You can go to the [11:30] next slide. Um, this is looking to the [11:33] northeast. Um, there's the southeast [11:36] chapel. Uh, let's keep heading around so [11:38] you can see, uh, to the sides of it, [11:40] we've got, uh, established neighborhoods [11:42] that were developed a number of years [11:44] ago. Um, there's the other chapel, [11:46] that's the Northwest Chapel that's [11:48] existing on 100 South. Um, let's pause [11:51] right here. Um, [11:54] and so, um, what the applicant's looking [11:57] to do is develop the property at this [12:00] time. Uh previously the city council and [12:02] planning commission saw a proposal back [12:03] in 2022. Uh let's go to the next slide. [12:07] Keep going. Uh so on the left you can [12:10] see the existing zoning. Um this was [12:13] created in 2022. There was a previous [12:16] subdivision proposed um and the R12 was [12:20] applied to the property um except for [12:24] the two existing meeting houses. Those [12:26] remained in the the RR rural residential [12:29] zone. So with the proposal tonight, we [12:30] see a a cleanup of some of the zoning, [12:33] changing those from agricultural to uh [12:36] residential zones as well. On the right, [12:39] this is the general plan. The yellow is [12:41] the land use u designation which is low [12:44] density residential. Um let's go to the [12:47] next slide [12:48] >> on that general plan. Sorry to stop you. [12:50] It perfectly aligns with our general [12:52] plan. Does that am I reading that [12:54] correct? When you say perfectly align [12:56] the boundaries or [12:58] >> the the planned zoning would align with [13:01] the general plan. [13:02] >> Yes, we'll dive into that. Um so the [13:06] outline is the area we're looking at. [13:08] It's in one designation which is low [13:11] density. Let's go to the next slide. [13:13] This is straight out of the general plan [13:15] that was adopted uh earlier this summer. [13:19] um low density. Uh you can see here it [13:22] highlights uh residential developments [13:24] with a density range of 2.5 to 3.5 homes [13:29] per acre. Um and as it's described here, [13:32] largely uh single family detached uh [13:35] product. Um let's go to the next slide. [13:39] The proposal that they've uh uh [13:41] presented would be just over three homes [13:45] per acre. So within that density range [13:47] of 2.5 to 3.5. Can [13:50] >> you see the low density? [13:51] >> Yes. And this is showing um the proposed [13:56] zoning districts that would be applied. [13:58] Um some of them were at the city's [14:00] request. For instance, this basin here [14:03] is city-owned property. And so we're [14:05] looking to change that from uh rural [14:08] residential to public facilities. Um [14:11] it's counts as open space. Um it's [14:14] landscaped, but the main primary [14:16] function is it's a city-owned detention [14:18] basin. Um this existing chapel is [14:21] proposed by the applicant to be R19 as [14:24] well as the residential development [14:26] portion of the property. Um once again, [14:29] we're looking at R19 with the master [14:31] plan development just for the housing [14:33] product. Um the existing chapel here uh [14:37] would go from RR to R112 as well as uh [14:41] the future Spanish Fork uh temple site [14:44] would be R112 as well. [14:46] >> So why are we why would we change the [14:49] chapels from if they're already there [14:51] and they're they're existing why is [14:54] there a need to change there? [14:55] >> Better reflect the use of the property. [14:58] um it's not agricultural in nature and [15:01] so changing it to match what's it's [15:03] adjacent to as well as uh the [15:05] residential where [15:06] >> even though they're on a chapel they're [15:08] still zoned agricultural. [15:09] >> Yeah. [15:11] Um let's go to the next slide. This is [15:14] the proposed uh master plan development [15:17] that would go with it. Um [15:20] and next slide shows that it would be [15:22] done in a phased manner. you'd see the [15:24] improvements uh starting on the east [15:26] side and then working their way to the [15:28] west. Um let's go to the next slide. And [15:32] this proposal is unique in the sense [15:34] that um we have a pattern book that was [15:37] provided um at the request of the [15:39] applicant um that outlines the [15:42] development of the property. Um, what [15:46] we'll do at this point is [snorts] I'll [15:48] pause in what I've got prepared to [15:50] present to the planning commission as [15:51] well as go over the the development [15:54] review committee's recommendations and [15:55] we'll invite um the applicants designer [15:58] up and he's going to go through a [16:00] presentation that uh we have queued up [16:03] and uh feel free to stop him at any [16:06] time. I'm going to give him that liberty [16:08] um with any questions that you've got. [16:11] Um this is uh different than what we [16:14] normally see um as far as uh [16:18] neighborhood development for single [16:20] family detached home product. Um if we [16:23] go well he'll pull it up in his slide [16:26] but he'll go over some of the uniqueness [16:29] um that we will sometimes see with [16:32] multif family home uh such as shared [16:35] driveways or private alleyways. Um, but [16:37] this is this would be applied in a [16:39] single family detached home setting. Um, [16:42] so we'll invite uh Eric up and then I'm [16:44] happy to uh [16:48] finish the presentation, answer any [16:49] questions you've got. Um, but feel free. [16:52] We also have uh Matthew here as well um [16:55] to answer any questions. [16:57] >> Okay. [16:57] >> Thank you. [16:57] Brandon. Eric, [17:01] >> hi. Thank you very much for having me. [17:03] Uh, my name is Eric Ost. with I'm a [17:05] principal at Urban Design Associates in [17:07] Pittsburgh. We're focused primarily on [17:09] community design. Um we work all over [17:11] the country. Uh we have been working [17:13] with Land Reeserve for several years now [17:15] and we've been working in Utah since [17:17] 2005. So we're really honored to have [17:19] the opportunity to to work here and to [17:22] work on this project. Um you know, we I [17:24] want to mention just make sure we can [17:27] get the presentation queued up. We want [17:29] to mention that we really wanted to [17:30] think about whenever we work in a [17:32] community, we recognize that we're a [17:33] guest in that community. Um, there are [17:35] so many characteristics about every [17:36] community that make them unique. And [17:38] it's a little bit like like like [17:40] language, like accents, you know, when [17:41] you go someplace, you know, has its own [17:43] character, the way people speak, but [17:44] they're still speaking the same [17:45] language. And we feel very strongly that [17:47] places should have their own character. [17:49] And we want to make sure that whenever [17:50] we design something new that it belongs [17:53] to that community and helps um build on [17:55] the character of the community that's [17:56] there today. Okay. So, we were thinking [17:58] about that and that's really part of our approach with this new neighborhood. [18:01] Oops. Sorry. [18:05] How we doing? Is this guy working? [18:12] » Okay. Next. Next slide. We can do the [18:13] next. Is that [18:16] okay? Next slide. And we'll go to the [18:17] next one. So, we'll start here at the [18:19] regional context. We were looking we [18:21] always start looking out where we are in in in a city and town. And to our [18:26] left we have the historic Spanish Fork [18:28] to our to the west side um and the [18:30] characteristics of that neighborhood. [18:32] And then to the east we have these [18:34] remarkable mountains, these remarkable [18:35] views. And we recognize also that we're at [clears throat] a position here [18:39] where where we're kind of where [18:41] development is starting to move to the [18:43] east and we want we recognize we've got [18:45] development around us. So we were [18:47] thinking about how do we tie all these [18:49] characteristics in into the community. [18:51] Next slide. [18:53] Zooming in just a little bit, you can [18:55] start to see uh you know, obviously you [18:57] see the state road um highway highway [19:00] six to our south which is going to be [19:02] very so this the view of the temple is [19:04] going to be very prominent. To our north [19:05] is Maple Mountain High School. So we [19:07] recognize this is an important uh [19:09] location in the city um from moving [19:12] forward and and it is today as well. [19:14] Next slide. [19:16] But we always look also not only at [19:18] planning, but we also think about [19:19] architectural character and and we've studied a lot of towns here in [19:23] Utah and a lot of them are built [19:25] historically by pattern books. Sometimes [19:27] you can find individual house designs [19:29] that were designed and you can actually [19:31] find the old plans in which they were [19:32] used by builders and whenever they're [19:34] built in a particular neighborhood, [19:36] oftentimes they had their own [19:37] characteristics that they would add to [19:39] the community and and make it uh unique [19:41] in its own way. What's really nice about [19:43] the neighborhood here right here in [19:44] Spanish Fork, the historic neighborhood, [19:46] is that many of the homes are very [19:47] different. They have a different [19:48] character, different styles, different [19:50] colors. They don't feel like a project. [19:52] It feels much more like a neighborhood. [19:54] And some of those characteristics are [19:55] things that we were thinking about as [19:57] we're looking forward and moving forward [19:58] with this particular with Oak Village. [20:00] Next slide. Uh when we were looking at [20:03] the site today, we were very much [20:04] focused on this views, these mountains [20:06] was something we were really thinking [20:07] about. When you look at the the site, [20:09] there's obviously the two meeting [20:10] houses, existing neighborhoods around [20:12] us, and then the mountains in the [20:13] distance. And we were thinking, how do [20:14] we tie all this together into something [20:16] that that feels like it's always been [20:18] there and feels feels like it fits the [20:20] site and all the characteristics that [20:21] are there. Next slide. We're really [20:24] thinking very much about these these [20:25] views of the mountains and how does that [20:26] play a role in the community and in the [20:28] how it how it sets into the neighborhood [20:30] and into the context. Next slide. [20:34] One of the characteristics about um [20:36] great civic buildings and you see that [20:38] even here today is that when you look at [20:40] and this is actually a re really an [20:41] American tradition is um public [20:43] buildings like churches u meeting houses [20:45] courouses city halls they oftentimes [20:47] have greenery around them like they're [20:49] kind of in like a park-like context and [20:51] so we definitely were thinking about [20:53] that as how do we bring that park-like [20:55] context and green around the [20:57] neighborhood. You see that here in this [20:58] building and it's something that we [21:00] wanted to make sure that this had that [21:01] green context so you recognize that this [21:03] is a special moment here in Spanish [21:05] Fork. Next slide. So we located the [21:08] temple. Now we didn't design the temple. [21:10] We were just locating it. The temple [21:11] design team took care of that. But we [21:13] definitely worked on locating the temple [21:15] to the corner um to allow that green [21:17] context and that sense of that your [21:18] sense of arrival when you got there. the um we were very much supportive of [21:23] the in the general plan the idea of a [21:25] roundabout on that corner uh that when [21:27] you're driving through you'd recognize [21:28] you're at that moment there's a special [21:30] uh place in the city and then we've [21:32] actually aligned the the temple and the [21:34] boulevard right to the to the [21:35] [clears throat] to the roundabout around [21:37] we've got Whiting Street is a key [21:39] address that runs along and connects [21:41] through the community there and creates [21:43] a very special address for the largest [21:45] and and nicest lots within the community [21:47] facing uh the temple. Next slide. [21:50] This would be a view down walking down [21:52] Whiting Street looking kind of towards [21:54] the high school. Next, [21:57] Oak Boulevard is is the kind of [21:59] signature boulevard that runs through [22:01] the community. That's [clears throat] a [22:02] road that has is a has a median kind of [22:05] divided road um with and the idea of why [22:08] we designed it this way was to try to [22:09] extend the character of the temple as [22:12] deep into the community as you can. So [22:14] even if you were buying a home in the in [22:16] the southwest corner of the property in [22:18] the far left, you'd still feel like the [22:20] temple is present, that it's not [22:22] something that's only for one address [22:23] for that first address that everybody [22:25] shares in the relationship to the [22:27] temple. That also helps connect it into [22:29] the neighborhoods in a very um [22:30] thoughtful way. Next slide. This would [22:33] be looking down the temp down the [22:35] boulevard. This is the drone view, the [22:36] drone [laughter] shot. Um but you can [22:38] see the the the special landscape that [22:40] would go to shaping to towards the [22:42] temple. I want to mention briefly that [22:44] these um these renderings were are are [22:46] very deliberate about the renderings of [22:47] the community. We did not design the [22:49] temple and and so these are just [22:52] characterist these are just characters [22:53] of of typical temples. Um if you want to [22:56] find the design of the temple that can [22:57] be found on the on the church website. [22:59] So next slide. This would be uh standing [23:02] along the Oak Boulevard kind of in the [23:04] front lawns of some of those homes. You [23:06] see the relationship of the porch, the [23:08] front yard, the fence, and then the the [23:10] boulevard is kind of a prominade for [23:11] walking up and down towards the temple [23:13] and back into the neighborhood. Next [23:14] slide. Um, this is an evening at Acorn [23:18] Park. We recognize that's looking east, [23:19] so maybe it is sunrise, but but [23:21] [laughter] but it look certainly makes [23:23] for a very dramatic view, but but the [23:25] Acorn Park is in the southwest corner. [23:27] It's a place for gathering. It's a place [23:28] to meet people. There's actually um we [23:30] actually right in front of where these [23:32] folks are sitting, there's actually a [23:33] bike trail that connects into the [23:34] neighborhood around it. So that view of [23:37] the temple will be present as everybody [23:39] passes through that very dramatic uh uh [23:41] direction. So this is a place to meet [23:43] for friends, for walks, to spend time in [23:45] the evening. So it's like a little [23:46] living room uh for the neighborhood. [23:48] Next slide. Wildflower Trail connects [23:51] [clears throat] through the [23:51] neighborhood. It's almost like [23:52] everything the opposite of the [23:54] boulevard. So the boulevard is very [23:56] straight. It's it's it's for cars. It's [23:58] got it's it's aligned with a temple. [24:00] Wildflower trail is perpendicular to it [24:02] and it connects between the meeting [24:03] house up to the high school. And it's a green space. It's for walking. It [24:07] allows people from homes to be able to [24:09] flow out to the green space and connect [24:11] to the park in the south in the corner [24:13] by the by the southeast meeting house [24:15] and then also be able to connect to [24:17] their friends and the neighborhoods [24:18] around it. Next slide. Uh so here's a [24:20] view down Wildflower Trail. So it's very [24:22] picturesque. kind of curves with trails [24:24] and a place you can walk uh very [24:26] comfortably without um getting in the [24:28] way of any cars or anything. Next slide. [24:30] This is the uh walking down one of the [24:32] poos uh connecting back to the uh this [24:35] is looking to you can see that it's a [24:36] temple on the left pro providing good [24:39] connectivity between wildflower trail [24:40] and the streets around us. Next slide. [24:43] So the neighborhood streets are kind of [24:45] like the supporting cast of the [24:46] characters in the movie. uh they they uh [24:48] these are very much based on on the [24:50] strong uh the strong neighborhood [24:52] streets of Spanish Fork. Some of them [24:54] are very straight. And then if you look [24:55] in the next slide, you can see the view [24:57] of what it would be look took looking [24:58] down Elmway. So all of these streets are [25:01] connected very much close to getting [25:03] back to the boulevard and back to the [25:04] other uh uh streets in the neighborhood. [25:06] Next slide. Here's the view of our [25:09] illustrative master plan um you know and [25:11] how it fits with the neighborhood. I'll [25:13] go through some of the quantities and [25:14] some of the characteristics in a moment. [25:16] Um, in the next slide you can see our [25:18] open space network. We have about o [25:21] about about two and a half acres of of [25:22] open space through the community. We [25:24] also have a in the southeast corner we [25:27] have a a playground and then Acorn Park on the south uh west corner and [25:32] then um but really this the the open [25:34] space is really there to support uh the [25:37] open space the trail system which allows [25:40] connects to the neighborhoods around us [25:41] the larger Spanish Fork trail system [25:43] around the city and being able to allow [25:45] people to get through in and around the [25:47] neighborhood very easily. Next slide. [25:50] So getting back to the [25:53] architecture, we very very much were [25:55] thinking very much about how the [25:57] architecture of Spanish Fork will [25:59] inspire the architecture here of a [26:01] variety of homes, various different [26:03] styles that are very present here. And [26:04] we could find that in in the community. [26:06] You can see the parallels here. That [26:08] house you see on the left is actually [26:09] right next door to where we are today. [26:11] Um so you can take a look at it after [26:13] the after the presentation. Next slide. [26:15] Um, we also were thinking very very [26:18] thought we were being trying to be very [26:19] thoughtful about having the same [26:21] relationship of the homes to the street [26:23] that you can see in historic Spanish [26:24] Fork. You can see that on the left side [26:26] there. What that relationship of that [26:28] home to the street is very similar to [26:30] the same way through the neighborhoods [26:32] of having home, porch, front yard, [26:35] street, sidewalk. Next slide. All of [26:37] this is brought together in a toolkit [26:39] for the builders. Um, it's just in the [26:42] same traditions of the historic Spanish [26:44] fork. will be built with a pattern book. [26:46] Um so the builders will be using this as [26:47] a tool to allow them to develop [26:50] different styles of homes. Um [26:52] anti-repetition guidelines um and also [26:55] provides required materials and also uh [26:58] windows, details, eaves, all kinds of [27:00] things to allow a builder to have all [27:01] the tools that they need at their [27:03] fingertips to create a high quality [27:04] community. Next slide. Here's our [27:07] program for lots. We have everything [27:08] between 55 foot wide lots to the estate [27:11] lots which are about 95 ft wide at the widest. Um the square footage of [27:16] the of the of the lots on the on the [27:18] small side on the cottage sides are [27:20] about 5,500. The large lops are over [27:22] 16,000 [clears throat] some of them [27:24] which are 16,000. Our average lot side [27:26] is about the size is about 9,300 uh [27:29] square feet uh which are actually larger [27:31] than the lots of the community around [27:33] us. Um and we have um and we have only [27:36] right now we have 110 lots. Our density [27:39] is um for the homes is 3.03 [27:42] dwelling units an acre which is right in [27:44] the middle of your basically close to [27:46] the middle of your low density [27:48] residential uh category. [27:51] Next slide. Here's your exist the [27:52] existing zoning uh as to as it is today. [27:56] And one of the things we recognized [27:57] right away is that the existing zoning [27:59] wasn't going to give us the tools to [28:00] create the design of the community that [28:02] we we felt fit the neighborhood best fit [28:04] the challenges the in the where the [28:06] streets were coming in and the [28:08] relationship to the temple and creating [28:09] a really high quality neighborhood. So [28:11] we've suggested these proposed this [28:13] proposed zoning in the next slide uh [28:15] which allows us to to uh to create these [28:17] the this kind of environment. So uh next [28:21] slide with that we'd like to we're here [28:22] to I'm here to take any questions you [28:24] may have. uh now and in also after [28:26] public comment. [28:27] >> Thank you, Eric. Questions? [28:29] >> Um yeah, so like on the boulevard and [28:33] that who will take care of the [28:35] maintenance as far as the landscape [28:38] maintenance [28:39] >> right now? I think the HOA [28:41] >> the HOA. Okay. And that'll be throughout [28:44] >> throughout the community. [28:46] Okay. [28:49] >> Can you go back to the street or even [28:52] that one? Yeah. [28:55] >> Tell me about the entrance onto Spanish [28:57] Fork Parkway. [29:00] >> Oh, yes. [29:01] >> Over by the the extended [29:02] >> That's a great question. [29:03] >> Oh, I guess I do have a pointer here, [29:04] don't I? [29:05] >> Yeah, that's a great question. How Whit [29:06] Lighting Street connects to the Spanish [29:08] Fort Parkway. So, one of the things that [29:09] we recognized right away is that the we [29:11] wanted to have the opportunity to have [29:13] shared parking between the meeting house [29:14] and the temple uh for special events so [29:17] that we didn't have to build more [29:18] parking. So we wanted to make sure we we [29:20] took advantage of that of the temple and [29:22] the relationship to the meeting house. [29:24] However, we felt that very strongly that [29:26] we wanted to make sure we had a street [29:28] connection between the community and uh [29:30] and Spanish Fork Parkway. So we actually [29:33] have a a street there. We've actually [29:35] introduced um some some angle parking. [29:38] That street will also be um have a [29:40] textured um uh paving um to uh to really [29:44] to help people slow down and recognize [29:46] that this is a space where people at [29:48] certain days people may be walking [29:49] between the parking lot on the south at [29:52] the meeting house to go to an event [29:54] there. But we wanted to make sure that [29:56] we recognize that this is a a place [29:58] where we want people driving at a safer [30:00] speed so we don't have any any any [30:02] issues there. So it's so it will be a [30:04] very it will be open and it'll be allow [30:06] for uh connectivity for cars on a daily [30:08] basis, but we we've kind of provided [30:11] like a little bit of a special design so [30:12] that people will tend to slow down uh [30:14] rather than than than driving into the [30:17] community too quickly, [30:17] >> but you don't do that on the the [30:19] opposite side of that curved road. [30:21] >> That's correct. Yeah, it's a standard [30:22] stro street section along Whiting Street [30:24] all the way around. Yeah. So that would [30:26] be but we do have um a crosswalk that [30:29] right at the kind of center on access [30:31] with the temple right by where the [30:32] boulevard meets the temple. Um uh just [30:35] to the at the end of Oak Boulevard right [30:37] where it meets Whiting Street up there. [30:39] Yes, we have a we have a lot crosswalks [30:41] and and a a kind of a a slower speed [30:43] environment there to help make sure that so that we again we recognize that [30:47] people will [30:48] >> be raised like a speed bump type [30:50] >> raised up a little bit with texture. [30:52] Yeah. So, what kind of texture? So, how [30:54] far does the texture go here? [30:55] >> It goes between um the probably where [30:57] you can see the crosswalk on the right [30:59] side and then there's another crosswalk [31:00] kind of on the left side that's shown [31:02] right around the edge right to the left [31:03] of of your green. Go a little further [31:05] left. All the way to Keep going. Keep going. Right there. Right [31:09] here. The texture goes all the way to [31:10] there. [31:11] >> I've got a pointer here. We can Yeah, we [31:12] can show you right there. Okay. There we [31:14] go. That'll be easier. Yeah. So, we [31:17] >> real quick. So, the parking by the [31:18] meeting house, that's going to be temple [31:19] overflow parking. [31:21] >> So, busy days, there'll be a lot of [31:23] people crossing the street. So, that's [31:24] why the that that has that more elevated [31:28] textured element, whereas the other [31:30] one's more of a normal residential [31:32] street. [31:40] » Any other questions for Eric? [31:42] >> Yeah, I I'm still on that that road [31:44] there. So, [31:45] >> is there any sort of uh would this [31:47] ingress side be or size be any different [31:50] from the rest that we're talking about? [31:51] >> They're about the same. They're the [31:52] same. [31:53] >> They're about the same. Okay. [31:54] >> Yeah. [31:54] >> The same in terms of width and things [31:55] like that. [31:56] >> Okay. So, just features here really that [31:58] slows down. [31:59] >> Yeah. [31:59] >> And then, you know, just crosswalks like [32:01] you'd see. Are these crosswalks sort of [32:03] uh continue throughout the neighborhood [32:04] in the similar style? [32:05] >> We I I don't think we don't have the [32:07] textured pavement, I don't think, in the [32:08] other points. Loi, our landscape [32:10] architect, really wanted to be here is [32:12] handling that. So sorry for sorry [32:13] they're not not here at the moment but [32:15] we definitely wanted to make sure we [32:16] introduced plenty of crosswalks and safe [32:20] crossings. This is a raised uh crossing [32:22] as well so that when people work through [32:24] Wildflower C uh trail that they'd be [32:26] able to connect we're worried about we [32:28] wanted to make sure that people [32:29] recognize that's a place where people [32:30] will be crossing so that people aren't [32:32] driving quickly. [32:32] >> Yeah. [32:33] So thought out that. Um I see [32:36] these pedestrian connections here as [32:37] well. Um so this looks like it connects [32:39] to an existing one. Uh we'll have some [32:42] pedestrian connections on here. Do we [32:43] expect I mean I know you're talking [32:45] about the neighborhood here. Yeah, but [32:46] do we expect just to be a fence the [32:48] whole way around here or any sort of [32:50] ingress for pedestrians or anything like [32:52] that? [32:52] >> That's a great question. I'm going to do [32:53] my best with it because we didn't work [32:55] on the but but is that there is a there [32:57] will be a fence around the temple, but [32:59] the the public environment the public [33:01] trail that you see here will connect all [33:03] the way across without and then the [33:04] fence will be on the inside of the [33:06] trail. So there'll be plenty of uh uh [33:08] public connectivity around the perimeter [33:10] and then around this side as well. So [33:12] that the fence with the area within the [33:14] temple will be I think believe I believe [33:16] that will be the fence right there. Um [33:18] so we still are want to be encouraging [33:20] people to walk and to connect to be able [33:22] to walk to the high school and get along [33:24] the edge of of uh of 100 um and then [33:27] also be able to walk along Spanish fork [33:30] parkway. [33:30] >> Yeah. So on this connection right here, [33:34] this road, [33:37] I'm just wondering why why not just [33:40] treat it as as an extension of your [33:43] parking lot. [33:45] >> We we looked at that and well I should [33:47] say that the there was some discussion [33:49] about that within the team is whether or [33:51] not that just became parking lot. One of [33:53] the things that we were worried about is [33:55] that is that if you are living in in [33:57] these homes here and in some of in some [33:59] of these neighborhoods that you would be [34:02] pushing traffic into the neighborhood [34:04] around us to the south and we really [34:06] wanted to be good neighbors. So we [34:07] wanted to make sure that people had the [34:08] ability to get out. The the times that [34:10] it they would need that much parking is not as is not that often. So on a [34:14] daily basis when you know we were [34:16] thinking about it from a routine basis [34:17] we'd like to have better connectivity [34:19] into the neighborhood [34:20] >> for cars. I think probably the schedule [34:22] too. You know, when these are busy, [34:24] these this would not be busy, right? In [34:26] terms of [34:27] >> Yeah. [34:27] >> the um [34:30] park the parking situation on on on the [34:32] roads generally here. So, I mean, I know [34:35] you kind of gave us an overview of what [34:36] the houses look like, but can you kind [34:37] of give me a sense of like, [34:39] >> you know, maybe a broad overview? How [34:41] much parking am I going to have per [34:42] each, you know, [34:43] >> per each lot and things like that? [34:45] >> Every every parking every house has the [34:47] ability to park three cars on it. Um, we [34:49] have u twocar garage or threec car [34:51] garages on for all of those homes. Um, [34:53] and then all of the streets have parking [34:55] on both sides. So, there'll be plenty of [34:57] part street parking for people if they [34:59] need to. We don't anticipate any parking [35:01] problems with this particular community [35:03] at all. [35:03] >> So, ideal use case, you have three cars [35:06] everywhere [35:07] >> pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. [35:08] >> Maybe more if we have a three-car [35:10] garage. [35:10] >> And in some of the wider homes, you can [35:12] on on on the alley loaded homes, you can [35:14] have four cars if you needed to. There's [35:16] no limit on the amount of cars that you [35:18] can put. There's parking zones that are [35:19] dedicated. [35:20] >> The the driveways that we're talking [35:22] about here will I mean [35:24] >> let's say I fill I have a three-car [35:26] garage. I filled it all up with [35:27] everything. Can I still park in my [35:28] drive? [35:28] >> It never happens from what No, I'm just [35:30] [laughter] kidding. [35:31] >> No, I'm just Yeah, just joking. No. So, um so that you'll be able to park so [35:37] all the the the lo the homes that have [35:39] are loaded to the street have the [35:41] parking to the back of the lot. So, if [35:43] you load your car, load your garage and [35:45] you park in front, you still won't get [35:47] your cars all the way to the street. [35:48] Plenty of driveway space. The alley [35:50] loaded homes would would be probably [35:53] parking on the street if if you if you [35:55] filled your car with your garage with [35:57] stuff. [35:57] >> Show me the alley loaded homes. Just [35:59] >> Yeah. [35:59] >> Alley loaded homes. This is the white [36:01] alley ro right here. So, all of these [36:03] are alley loaded homes. These are all alley [36:07] loaded homes. The street loaded homes [36:08] run around the perimeter here and here. [36:12] >> Okay. Okay. So, it's it's the majority [36:13] are [36:14] >> majority of alleyway. [36:15] >> So, on the alleyway, is there enough is [36:17] there room for parking on the alleyways [36:20] themselves or are they going to be too [36:22] narrow? [36:22] >> They're going to be they're they're [36:23] going to be too narrow. They'll be [36:25] discouraged and the and the the the [36:26] garage will be within the amount of [36:28] distance to the to the we have it set as [36:30] five feet so that you can't park and [36:33] block egress and safety. However, even [36:36] next to your garage, there'll still be [36:37] room to park on any individual lot. So [36:40] you'll have next to your garage, there's [36:41] still plenty of space to have surface [36:43] parking on your lot. [36:45] >> Okay. So the parking on the alleyway [36:47] will be discouraged or prohibited. [36:49] >> Absolutely. It'll be prohibited. Um the other thing to mention is that you [36:52] can also do what they call JW where you [36:54] can put your park you can put your [36:55] parking perpendicular to the alley and [36:57] swing into your garage and have a have a [36:59] parking area and then come in to the [37:01] side. [37:02] >> So there's plenty of parking [37:03] >> on the lot. Yeah. Okay. [37:07] Any [37:10] other questions? [37:11] >> So, a question. Um, I'm kind of seeing [37:13] and and you know, I've obviously Googled [37:15] your firm here, but I'm kind of seeing [37:17] this is similar to Daybreak in in some [37:19] ways now, maybe evolved in some ways. [37:21] Could you maybe comment on that just for [37:23] >> So, um, so Daybreak has has a much [37:25] higher density environment. Um, and [37:28] Daybreak does have lots that are similar [37:30] to this. Um, uh, Daybreak is a massive [37:33] community. I mean it's 40,000's [37:35] different. I used to live adjacent to [37:37] it. [37:38] >> Okay. Sure. Sure. Yeah. So, um but there are some characteristics that are [37:43] universal for great neighborhood design. [37:44] You can find that in Daybreak. You can [37:46] find that in Hill Farms that we did in [37:47] Cisville and you can find it in some of [37:49] these neighborhoods where you've got [37:51] good good relationships to kind of [37:53] creating the home. Putting the kind of [37:55] deemphasizing the car. So the car is at [37:58] the back of the lot and the home is [37:59] toward the front is kind of the thing [38:01] that some people kind of identify as [38:02] something that's kind of more the common [38:04] element and that's what we brought in [38:05] here. [38:12] » Um I guess another question here. So I [38:14] think we talked a little bit that park [38:16] this is just uh sort of a trail head [38:19] versus anything else like can you [38:20] comment a bit more? [38:21] >> Yeah. Oh yeah, here it is. Um that this [38:24] is actually gonna have a playground in [38:25] that space. It's going to be a kind of a another kind of living room type open [38:29] space where um people can enjoy that. [38:32] It's actually the first phase. The as [38:34] you saw the phasing that was presented. [38:36] Um the the our client feels very [38:38] strongly about building open space right [38:40] away so that people can enjoy it. Both [38:42] the people the residents that are [38:43] purchasing there but the neighborhoods [38:45] around it are open to use those uh [38:46] spaces. So that'll be a a playground um [38:49] from the first phase in that particular [38:51] space. [38:52] >> I think we have this this road exists [38:54] right here. So first half of that road [38:56] is this. Okay. So it's very accessible [38:58] and it'll be accessible from the meeting [39:00] house. [39:00] >> From the neighborhood. Yeah. From the [39:01] meeting house as well. Yeah. [39:03] >> Uh kind of timeline of of phases. I mean [39:07] I [39:08] >> that's a good question. Might have to [39:09] turn over to the um do do you know the [39:11] timeline for [39:13] >> it is phase in three phases but because [39:15] >> will you step up to the microphone [39:16] please? [39:17] >> Tell us your name. [39:17] >> Matt Stapley with Land Reserve. Um we're [39:20] hoping to be uh pushing dirt. Uh we were [39:24] hoping this this year. That might not [39:26] happen. And depending on what happens [39:28] with winter, we're not sure when we [39:30] would be able to start, but we're hoping [39:31] to be delivering lots uh end of summer [39:34] or um late late summer or early fall [39:38] next year. That would be the first [39:40] phase. And then depending on how [39:41] absorption is, the other phases would [39:43] follow very closely after 110 lots isn't actually that much. It it should [39:48] absorb pretty quickly. [39:50] >> Where will you start? Have you made that [39:52] decision yet? like what's the first [39:53] phase? [39:54] >> Yeah, the phasing plan. Um [39:57] I think it was [39:59] >> one of the first slides. Yeah. [40:02] >> So it's everything around the temple. [40:03] >> Okay. So [40:03] >> that'll be the first phase and and we'll be doing all the improvements [40:08] around there including the roundabout [40:09] before they do anything. And so we'll [40:11] move first [40:12] >> and complete all of that in our first [40:14] phase. [40:15] >> Thank you. [40:15] >> Is is the temple [40:18] >> Yeah, it might have been in Brandon's [40:19] presation actually. I know I saw it at [40:21] some point. the [40:22] >> I'm referring to the phasing plan. I [40:24] think it was Brandon's [40:28] [clears throat] [40:35] » there. Oh, there it was. There it is. [40:38] >> Phase one, phase two, phase two. [40:39] >> Is the temple part of the phase one [40:42] >> or is it kind of ongoing through all [40:43] these phases? Um, I I don't know if I [40:46] can comment as to their timing, what [40:48] they're going to be doing, but uh [40:50] >> Well, I'm I'm more concerned about the [40:52] like the roads around the temple and the [40:55] landscaping around the temple. Would [40:56] that be part of phase one? [40:58] >> Oh, yes, absolutely. Yeah, that would be [40:59] part of [clears throat] phase one. [41:00] >> Okay. [41:01] >> Yeah. I can't I don't know when that [41:02] they're going to start construction, the [41:04] actual building, but yeah. Yeah, good [41:05] question. We'll be doing the [41:07] improvements around their site. [41:08] >> And then the trails through the [41:10] neighborhood are what surface are they? [41:12] like I think the Spanish Fork [41:14] ones are all asphalt. [41:16] >> What are these? What are these trails? [41:18] >> We've actually discussed that and you [41:19] might be able to help me recall. Uh I [41:22] think we were going to change the [41:23] materials that came into um the Acorn [41:25] Park Circle to be I can't remember. I [41:28] think it was going to be concrete [41:29] through there. Everywhere else it would [41:31] be asphalt. [41:31] >> Everywhere else will be asphalt [41:33] >> for that that city trail. Um yes, [41:39] » we'll have a new trail along here. This [41:41] is currently unimproved. That's included [41:43] as part of this. And that will be an [41:44] asphalt trail in addition to the actual [41:46] road. [41:54] » The one on Spanish for Parkway would be [41:56] nice to finally not have the kids run [41:58] through the mud. [41:59] >> They've been doing that forever. [42:01] >> They walk onto the sidewalk here and [42:03] then like there's this mud trail right [42:05] here and everything like that. [42:07] Yeah, [42:09] I'll change things materially. [42:11] >> All right. Any other questions from the [42:13] commission? Okay. All right. Thank you, [42:16] Eric. [42:16] >> Thank you. [42:17] >> Brandon, did you have anything to add [42:19] before we open uh to the public hearing? [42:23] >> Yeah, please do. [42:33] » Reiterate the request. So, we just went [42:35] over the pattern book. Um, these are [42:38] some of the pages. Duplicative. [42:40] This is Sorry, you're going too fast. [42:44] Forward one, please. All right. Uh, I [42:47] think someone had a question on the the [42:50] park improvements. This was included in [42:52] your packet. Um, so for instance, this [42:56] area here would have the playground, a [42:59] pavilion, uh, open space, etc. Um and [43:04] the 2 and a half acres is not inclusive [43:07] of the green space that would be around [43:10] the temple. Um that's just within uh the [43:13] proposed subdivision. Uh let's go to the [43:15] next slide. We've already gone over [43:18] this. [43:19] Um this I don't think we had in your [43:22] presentation. This is just a snippet [43:24] from one of the housing types. This [43:26] shows how the builder um would orient [43:30] the home on the lot. So, for instance, [43:32] this is specific to a lane loaded [43:33] product. Um, shows for instance the [43:37] garage space, the surface parking space [43:39] that would be accessible from the alley. [43:42] Um, once again, that's deemphasizing the [43:45] garage door uh look on the public street [43:47] and placing that all on the shared [43:49] alley. Um, let's go to the next slide. [43:53] This is the standard uh subdivision [43:56] requirements that you'd see generally [43:57] for an R19. As Director Anderson [44:00] commented on the first item, the [44:02] majority of the subdivisions that we see [44:03] do not go the standard route. Um let's [44:06] go to the next slide. What they do is [44:08] either the master plan development or [44:10] complete neighborhood overlay. Uh that's [44:12] a newer overlay. Uh I'd say 99% we see [44:15] the the master plan development and that [44:16] gives a little wiggle room as far as [44:18] design. uh especially when you have an [44:20] irregular shaped piece of property or [44:22] some tight tight areas. Um this is [44:25] another page out of the pattern book. Um [44:27] the full book was was uh provided to you [44:30] but this was towards the end. This is uh [44:34] requirements as far as fencing. So, the [44:36] taller fencing would be the bold lines [44:38] here, whereas uh shorter see-through [44:42] fencing would be out uh along the [44:44] street, which was uh there was a slide [44:46] in Eric's presentation where it showed [44:48] an existing uh older historic home in [44:50] Spanish Fork that had that nice uh rod [44:53] iron fencing. Um let's go to the next [44:55] slide. Um so, once again, we've got two [44:59] separate uh items. So we need two [45:02] separate public hearings and then two [45:05] separate motions. When the development [45:07] review committee looked at it, um this [45:09] was their recommendation for the zone [45:12] change. Um they found that the density [45:14] range was uh consistent with the low [45:17] density residential designation. They [45:20] felt that it met the intent and findings [45:21] of the master plan development overlay. [45:24] Um, three, uh, they did indicate that [45:27] the proposal brings a unique housing [45:29] plan to the area utilizing the R19 [45:32] designation in a way that we generally [45:33] don't see in our community. Number four, [45:35] they felt that the proposal had a number [45:37] of community uh, benefiting amenities. [45:41] They did have a condition that they [45:43] added and that the development would [45:45] enter into an agreement with the city to [45:47] memorialize the project as it has been [45:50] and will be presented. Um, let's go to [45:52] the next slide. [45:54] This one was the development review [45:56] committee's recommendation specifically [45:58] to the plat. Um they recommended [46:01] approval of this one as well. Uh similar [46:04] findings as it relates to the general [46:06] plan and the MPD overlay. And then they [46:08] did have the conditions one and two are [46:10] standard conditions that we generally [46:12] put on all applications. U just [46:14] addressing things that staff still have [46:16] ongoing um review of. And then the third [46:19] one is that obviously the preliminary [46:21] plat is contingent upon the city council [46:24] approving the associated zoning uh map [46:27] amendment. Um [46:31] [clears throat] I think we've covered [46:32] everything I had intended to cover. Um [46:37] there was one thing I me failed to [46:39] mention at the beginning. Um we just [46:43] wanted to uh acknowledge that we did [46:45] receive a couple of emails um which we [46:48] provided to the planning commission. One [46:50] was from a [46:53] Mr. Robert Clark [46:56] and another one we don't have a last [46:58] name but it was just uh an email sent [47:01] >> Brendan Charles [47:02] >> from Bren Oh, there we go. Brendan [47:03] Charles. And then we also did receive a [47:05] phone call that we uh forwarded the [47:07] questions on to you as well. Um, any [47:11] questions for staff at this time? [47:14] >> Just one real quick. Um, I love the [47:18] artistic renderings, but how much [47:20] freedom does the builder have to deviate [47:23] from that? [47:25] So, I'll speak from the city's [47:27] perspective. Um, and then I'll let [47:29] Matthew uh speak to how they select [47:33] their builders and the process that the [47:35] builders go through. So based on the [47:38] condition, the city would expect that [47:40] the styles represented in the pattern [47:42] book would be followed. Uh hence the [47:45] development and review committee on the [47:47] last slide. Um if we go back one, Josh, [47:55] sorry, too far. One more. So they're the [47:57] Oh, they're the condition that we're [48:00] going to have an agreement that [48:01] memorializes the exhibits that we've [48:03] reviewed and will review with the city [48:05] council. The master plan development [48:07] does have architectural standards. [48:09] They're very uh commonplace in the [48:12] building community today such as roof [48:15] pitches, materials, and so what I did [48:18] was briefly took a look at what we have [48:20] as basic requirements and they meet them [48:24] as far as the pattern book. Um and then [48:26] Matthew, if you don't mind speaking to [48:29] the process of how the builder would go [48:31] about getting approval and what? Yeah, [48:33] when we select builders, um, we've done [48:36] all this work very much with the mindset [48:38] that we want builders that are going to [48:40] execute on the vision. Um, it's it's not [48:43] just pretty pictures. We we want to see [48:45] builders that um catch the vision and execute on it. Uh, when we do have [48:52] builders selected, they will go through [48:53] initially what's called a product line [48:55] review, and they'll do that with Eric [48:56] and his team. And they'll go through [48:58] their product that they're proposing, [48:59] and Eric will provide comments. Eric and [49:01] his team will provide comments so they [49:03] can get their product in line with the [49:05] pattern book guidelines. After that, uh, [49:09] any house that does submit a a house [49:12] plan to be built, every single one will [49:14] be reviewed again by UDA. Um, and we [49:19] have a system that we'll set up to do [49:20] that all electronically. And it has [49:22] other things like anti- monotony [49:24] algorithms in place to make sure you [49:26] don't have the same home across the [49:27] street or next door. So there's all [49:29] those things will be taken into account [49:31] when builders uh submit their plans. You [49:34] have anything to add to that? [49:36] >> Can I ask the same question but in [49:38] regards to landscaping? [49:40] >> Same. Uh LOSI has and we don't we [49:43] haven't shown these to the city yet. We [49:44] actually just got them this week. We [49:45] have some landscaping guidelines just [49:47] like we have architectural guidelines [49:50] and they will become part of the pattern [49:51] book as well. And so builders will be [49:54] expected to submit landscape plans that [49:57] will then be reviewed by LOSAI or [49:59] someone else that's you know reviewing [50:00] those guidelines. So it' be the same [50:02] process. [50:03] >> How about like the trees down was it Oak [50:05] Lane down the center of Oaklane? Is that [50:09] part of the HOA or is that the builder? [50:12] Is that the homeowner? [50:13] >> The center of Oaklane will be the HOA. [50:16] We'll plant water and maintain those. [50:19] Um, then there's the parking strips [50:20] where we Good question. We were actually [50:23] talking about this yesterday trying to [50:24] figure out how to best do it. We've experienced in some other [50:27] communities when you plant them too [50:29] early, the subcontractors when they're [50:30] building the homes, they kill the trees [50:32] and, you know, there's a lot of [50:33] problems. So, I think what we'll do is [50:36] uh for the ones down the the park [50:38] strips, we'll plant them. The homeowners [50:41] will have to have a separate irrigation [50:42] zone that they can prioritize during [50:44] water restrictions to make sure those [50:46] trees stay watered and are prioritized. [50:48] So, um, yeah, we've worked through all [50:50] that. We're almost done working through [50:52] all of it, but yeah, uh, we [50:54] >> So, they'll be very uniform then. [50:56] >> Yeah. And that's the idea of planting [50:58] them all at the same time. So, the [50:59] builders when people move in, they might [51:01] not have trees. We might not have trees [51:03] on all the parts, [51:04] >> right? [51:04] >> Because of, like I said, we've we've had [51:06] negative experiences with that [51:08] elsewhere. So, what we'll do is [51:10] >> we'll make sure that they know where to [51:11] put irrigation. Then, we'll come in at [51:12] the end and we'll plant all the trees so [51:15] that they're uniform. [51:16] >> Nice. So, so the actual products in [51:18] terms of the houses and things like [51:19] that, is that determined by the [51:20] consumer? Is it sort of a pre-planned [51:22] thing that that happens? So, how does [51:24] that that work out? [51:26] >> Have a we have the kind of the different [51:29] lot sizes allow for different home sizes [51:31] as well. So, uh when the builders [51:34] provide their proposal to the team, [51:36] we'll we'll take that under [51:37] consideration. They'll probably try to [51:38] keep they have a lot of flexibility [51:40] within the home. Uh you know, they don't [51:42] we're not going to require them to they [51:44] can't do this or that. All these houses [51:46] will be built for modern life and for [51:48] today's uh context. But on the outside, [51:51] we're really looking at the way the the [51:52] house relationship to the street is and [51:55] the shaping of the home outside the [51:56] home. But what goes on inside the home [51:58] is fine with, you know, we're really [52:00] thinking about the physical environment [52:01] and how does this create an a sense of a [52:03] neighborhood and what people see from [52:05] the outside. [52:06] >> Okay. And and in terms of like kind of [52:08] the HOA here, the HOA lands may maybe [52:11] give me kind of an overview of the whole [52:12] jurisdiction the HOA would have [52:14] >> what they would do and and services they [52:16] would offer [52:21] » is it like just primary landscaping or [52:23] there other things that [52:25] >> Yeah. Um excuse [clears throat] me. So [52:27] the Acorn Circle Park, the other park [52:30] where we mentioned the the play [52:31] structure will be by the meeting house. [52:33] >> Um the the main [52:36] uh meet down Oak Boulevard, that view of [52:39] the temple, um the wildflower trail, [52:43] those will all be maintained by the HOA. [52:46] Uh I think primarily that that it's [52:48] going to be the main thing the HOA is [52:51] going to oversee. Obviously going [52:52] forward, we'll have CCNRs recorded to [52:56] make sure that in the long term uh the [53:00] residents and homeowners are keeping the [53:03] community consistent with the original [53:05] vision. So that'll be another thing the [53:07] HOA will do. They'll enforce those CCNRs [53:09] >> and ballpark like what kind of HOA dues [53:12] would you expect for something like [53:13] this? Like again, I know things change [53:15] all the time. I [53:16] >> I don't know if I can give a number on [53:19] that right now. Um [53:20] >> Okay. Yeah, [53:22] >> the uh [53:22] >> that it would be wrong. So I [laughter] [53:24] >> Yeah, [53:25] >> you've got the HOA doing the landscape and that [53:29] when this is all done, built out, [53:32] everything's done. The roads will be [53:35] maintained and the alleyways. So you got [53:37] your alleyways, roads, that becomes city [53:40] maintenance. [53:40] >> Yeah. So that that's a great question. [53:42] The alleyways, no, that will be HOA [53:44] maintained. Okay. [53:46] >> And then the the streets will be city [53:48] and they're built to city spec. Yeah. [53:51] >> And then I think I saw and [53:54] this is a this is going to be a a basin [53:56] or whatever for recovery. Is that [53:58] correct? [53:58] >> Yeah. And it's existing. It's an [54:00] >> it's existing. Okay. [54:01] >> Yeah. [54:02] >> Okay. So, we've got this access that you [54:05] discussed ear that was brought up [54:07] earlier. Um that will be maintained by [54:10] the HOA. The [54:12] >> that will be maintained by the temple. [54:14] >> The church. [54:14] >> Yeah. That will be the temple. And so [54:16] that will be that's basically going to [54:19] be a private thoroughfare maintained and [54:24] opened for public access. [54:26] >> Yes, that's correct. [54:28] >> Is there a gate there? [54:30] >> I imagine they they will put a gate so [54:33] once a year they close it so they can [54:34] maintain um you know private possession [54:37] of that. But our our uh our intent is [54:42] that it would always be open. Yes. Any [54:49] other questions? [54:51] All right. Thank you. Okay. Uh we will [54:54] have our first um public hearing. This [54:57] is specifically for the Oak Village zone [54:59] change. Before I open that hearing, I'd [55:01] like to remind everyone um some rules of [55:04] conduct. We do uh limit comments to [55:06] three minutes per person. Uh we do ask [55:09] that you come to the microphone, state [55:10] your name and your address, please. And [55:14] um I would ask that we don't make [55:16] comments or questions from the audience. [55:18] That you use your time of the microphone [55:19] to make your comments and questions. And [55:21] with that, we will open our public [55:22] hearing. [55:34] Okay, I'm gonna get my children out of [55:36] here in just a second. Um hi, my name is [55:38] Amanda Charles. I live at 23 85 east 430 [55:42] south. So this row of homes that is [55:46] currently butdding up to the field, the [55:49] fence is my backyard and then the field [55:51] is right behind it. So, um, what I [55:54] wanted to talk about today was I wanted [55:56] to see if it was possible for the homes [55:59] that are being built on the road that is [56:01] now going directly behind my home if we [56:04] can offset the homes so that I'm not [56:07] staring into their home. So, we have [56:10] these big, beautiful windows on the back [56:12] of our house that right now have a [56:14] really beautiful view, which is about to [56:15] change. Um, but if those homes could be [56:19] offcentered, I would otherwise I have to [56:21] keep my book my blinds closed like all [56:23] the time and it's the whole back wall of [56:26] the house. And that tends to be the same [56:28] for almost all of my neighbors along [56:30] that strip. We all have like the same [56:32] window setup. So, if the homes exactly [56:34] line up, none of us can keep our windows [56:37] open at night because we're just going [56:38] to be staring at all of these people who [56:40] moved into their new homes who I don't [56:42] think would be too happy about that [56:43] either. So, that was just the thing that [56:45] I wanted to bring to the planning [56:47] commission today. [56:49] >> And that's along the south there, right? [56:51] >> Yeah, this is this No, sorry, not that [56:53] one. Yeah, that one where you're going [56:55] back and forth. Yeah. [56:56] >> Okay. [56:56] >> So, all of those homes. [56:59] >> Yeah. If we could potentially adjust [57:01] those borders so that the homes are not [57:03] staring straight at each other, that [57:05] would be phenomenal and I think would [57:07] make a whole bunch of residents a lot [57:09] happier about the changes that are about [57:10] to happen. So, [57:12] >> thank you, Amanda. Thank you. [57:19] » Hi, my name is Noranu Miller. I live in [57:21] 344 South 2070 East. Um when I found out [57:26] about these um I was looking things and [57:28] I was start looking the master plan from [57:30] the city and one of the I have a two [57:33] concern it says the traffic that will happen and the neighborhood park [57:39] why we don't have a neighborhood park in [57:41] there because based on what I read in [57:44] the master plan it says it need to be a [57:47] half a mile [clears throat] radius of a [57:49] thousand residents bringing these 110 [57:52] homes plus the 184 that is in my [57:55] neighborhood is uh the population will [57:58] be more than 1,200 [58:01] or more depending. So why we don't have [58:04] a a neighborhood park there? That's one [58:08] because I know they're saying about [58:10] Acorn Circle, but how big is that? It's [58:12] a park with a little place to meet. How [58:15] is that? And he he was referring to a [58:19] little green area too. But where is the [58:21] park for all the residents in that area [58:24] including us? We are behind and all the [58:27] neighbors were in the side which is the [58:28] street for Rio Grande. [58:32] Now the traffic is another issue. We [58:36] will have the temple which is nice. We [58:38] are blessed with that. The new homes [58:41] will bring uh how many population? uh a [58:45] family of four, how many you think it [58:47] will be? I was thinking around 440 [58:52] people or 500 more people and how many [58:55] cars will be driving you guys would [58:56] mention three or four cars will be [58:58] parking. So how many cars will be [59:01] driving in the 100 south or in the [59:04] Spanish parkway and how much traffic [59:06] will happen plus the highest school plus [59:09] the temple we will have a lot of [59:11] traffic. So a Spanish parkway it will be [59:14] widen iter I think I heard two weeks ago [59:17] something like that but Rio Grande is a [59:20] big problem turning left when I want to [59:23] turn left cars behind me almost want to [59:25] crash me because and the cars coming [59:27] here is sometimes you can't you can't [59:29] turn because too many cars coming and [59:32] the 100 south and the 200 I get trapped [59:35] I can't get out sometimes because the [59:36] highest schoolers [59:38] so and I asked to uh who is in charge [59:42] search of the traffic the studies to [59:45] email me because they say they didn't [59:47] study about the traffic but they I don't [59:49] know what studies can be done when [59:50] there's no people yet there no so I'm [59:55] requesting about 100 south they say at [59:58] this point they can't put a light [59:59] traffic but they can put a start sign [1:00:01] and a crosswalk because you can't cross [1:00:04] to other side of the 100 south across [1:00:07] from the 2000 the cars coming too fast [1:00:10] and the students the high schoolers you [1:00:12] know how they drive. So I'm requesting [1:00:14] that and why is [clears throat] Noah [1:00:17] neighborhood park. [1:00:18] >> Okay. Thank you, Nora. Yeah. [1:00:29] » Hi, I'm Robert Filbrick at 337 South 270 [1:00:33] East. So I'm just on the west side um [1:00:35] budding the the field the development. I [1:00:39] just wanted to also plus one some of [1:00:40] these previous comments just so another [1:00:42] voice is heard with the um offsetting [1:00:45] the lots because it's important to us to [1:00:48] have the view of the mountains and and [1:00:49] not a house and so it' be nice to be [1:00:51] able to still see the mountains. I know [1:00:53] that was part of their considerations of how to design it so that we you know [1:00:57] maintain kind of that view and the [1:00:58] presence that we have. Um, so, um, plus [1:01:01] one to that previous comment. And also, [1:01:04] I don't know if there's a height restriction on these houses, if [1:01:09] they're going to be certain level of [1:01:11] stories, are they two, three, can they [1:01:13] go beyond that? I don't know if some of [1:01:15] these smaller lots, it seems like [1:01:17] there'd be more tendency to build up [1:01:19] taller. So, just a little concerned if [1:01:21] we're going too high on some of these um [1:01:25] houses. Um, I also want to just plus one [1:01:28] with the traffic concern. Um, it's [1:01:30] already busy. I live across the street [1:01:32] from Nora and it is hard to get out [1:01:34] sometimes off of Rio Grande onto 100 [1:01:37] South turning left um to get to over to [1:01:39] go to [1:01:41] um State Street or Main Street on [1:01:44] Highway 6, sorry, Center Street. Um um [1:01:48] so I don't know. I'm just concerned with [1:01:51] more traffic coming in with all these [1:01:52] houses. Also, um if you know going [1:01:57] getting on to Spanish Fork Parkway and [1:01:59] going to Highway 6 there, that uh new [1:02:02] traffic circle too can get backed up at [1:02:04] certain times of the day and it could be [1:02:06] really hard to get through the light [1:02:07] through highway six. And so with more [1:02:09] traffic coming to the temple with the [1:02:11] high school with these 110 houses with [1:02:15] three plus cars each, you know, 300 more [1:02:17] cars, just getting in and out of this [1:02:19] area is is going to be difficult. And I [1:02:21] don't know if there's more being done to [1:02:23] consider easing the traffic with I don't [1:02:26] know if they if the yeah these 100 south [1:02:29] or sark Parkway are being widened or or [1:02:31] what's considered there for that but [1:02:33] just plus one in that concern. [1:02:36] >> So that's all I had. Thank you. [1:02:37] >> Thank you Robert. [1:02:47] » I'm Robert Barnes. I have a property on [1:02:50] uh at 344 South at 2580 [1:02:55] east [1:02:56] uh to the east of the [1:03:01] division here. And all of that area over [1:03:05] there is [1:03:07] zoned for third acre lots, you know, R R [1:03:11] 15. [1:03:13] and they're trying to change this to [1:03:15] from an R12 to a R9. [1:03:19] That's going to lower R values. [1:03:22] Why can't they just do the same thing [1:03:24] they're talking about and just leave it [1:03:25] at the R12? [1:03:28] You know, that's what I'm concerned [1:03:30] about. It's going to lower our values in [1:03:32] our subdivision [1:03:34] over there. [1:03:36] You know, there's [1:03:39] no reason they can't just put fewer [1:03:42] lots. houses in there and have a little [1:03:44] bit more area between houses and give [1:03:48] people a a little bit more decent yard [1:03:51] size yards. [1:03:52] That's my con comments on it. [1:03:56] >> Thank you, Robert. [1:03:57] >> Thanks. [1:04:15] Jerry Carroll. I live at 273 South 2580 [1:04:20] East over in the Eagle Haven [1:04:22] subdivision. [1:04:24] Um, my concern is the same as the young [1:04:27] ladies would up here about traffic. [1:04:33] Trying to get out of that subdivision on [1:04:35] 360 just on the south [1:04:39] parkway is a challenge a lot of times. [1:04:43] And then when you go up to 100, [1:04:45] obviously the roundabout, which is [1:04:47] notorious for Spanish fork, uh will help [1:04:51] relieve some of that issue. But um I see [1:04:55] the there's some bottlenecks that are [1:04:58] real serious and I hope the city will [1:05:02] have a at least a traffic study done to [1:05:05] figure out what these extra maybe 250 to [1:05:09] 300 cars will add to it. And not only [1:05:13] that, but all of the visitors to the [1:05:16] temple. 100 is a dead zone. You try to [1:05:20] get out on 100 to get over on center to [1:05:22] get off, you've gotund and something [1:05:24] feet there and there's just no way to [1:05:27] make that happen unless the city comes [1:05:29] up with another plan to help transfer [1:05:33] that some of that traffic over to six [1:05:36] through 100 and center street. [1:05:40] um [1:05:41] the backup even from [1:05:44] where I live to highway six taking a [1:05:48] roundabout. I've been sitting there on [1:05:51] the backside [snorts] [1:05:52] almost to the church waiting to get down [1:05:56] to six several times at different times [1:05:58] of the day. Especially in the mornings, [1:06:02] school lets out and about 5:00 to 6:30, [1:06:07] it's you have a lot of traffic, people [1:06:09] coming back from work. So, I think the [1:06:11] traffic is going to be a major issue [1:06:14] um quite possibly. And I see that to be [1:06:17] a problem because we do have on both [1:06:19] sides of our road, we have two form [1:06:22] plots. They're not going to sell. [1:06:26] Not anytime soon. So you've got a kind [1:06:29] of a bottleneck as to how you can open [1:06:31] up Spanish Forkway all the way into six, [1:06:35] which I don't think that's possible [1:06:37] because six is limited by the U dot as [1:06:40] to what you can do there. Uh, you know, [1:06:44] I'm all for development [1:06:47] and I'm looking forward to see the city [1:06:50] let this area grow and do some things, [1:06:52] but I do think the u [1:06:55] getting back to a third acre, which we [1:06:58] thought was going to be the issue for [1:07:00] that whole area back to that parameter, [1:07:04] giving that density even lower might [1:07:07] help. [1:07:09] Um, 10 years from now, who knows? [1:07:13] But in the next few years, it's going to [1:07:16] be a a nice problem for those who live [1:07:18] there and those under the construction. [1:07:21] It's going on even more massive than it [1:07:24] is. And I do appreciate your time. Thank [1:07:27] you. [1:07:27] >> Thank you, Jerry. [1:07:42] Hi, my name is Marie Godfrey and I live [1:07:44] in a live at 7 North Maple Bend and so [1:07:49] I'm in the general area. I agree with [1:07:52] all the traffic that it's just for me [1:07:55] the obnoxious [1:07:57] you I don't have to go to on Spanish [1:08:01] Fork Parkway. I can go the other way, [1:08:05] but there's Maple Mountain High School [1:08:07] and I consider a roundabout with [1:08:12] teenagers like [1:08:14] cut it off. That's just I don't see that [1:08:17] working. They cannot get out of the [1:08:20] parking lot in the afternoon about 2:45. [1:08:23] I have sat for almost 10 minutes to get [1:08:26] from down near the the um fields all the [1:08:32] way up to Spanish Fork Parkway because [1:08:34] the kids are all coming out coming out. And so a few of the items I [1:08:39] don't know if I know how to work this. [1:08:41] Um let's see. I've got it marked on [1:08:43] mind. So right here you are talking [1:08:46] about a street coming out where the kids [1:08:48] come out at the far end by where they do [1:08:52] the um they're learning to drive the [1:08:55] cars. Hello. I don't understand. It's [1:08:58] another roadblock. I don't know. They're [1:09:01] going to put stop signs there. And then [1:09:03] you have the things over here behind the [1:09:06] meeting house. I happen to attend that [1:09:08] meeting house. And there's an opening [1:09:10] right here for this road that's [1:09:11] partially there. [1:09:14] Who's going to keep people from driving [1:09:15] through here, over here, or from whiting [1:09:19] over this way down through all these? [1:09:21] It's like circling around and around and [1:09:24] around traffic. More traffic. I can see [1:09:27] coming out of the people trying to cut [1:09:30] through over here at the meeting house [1:09:32] and go through over this way or around [1:09:34] over this way to try to cut. It's just [1:09:37] this is a traffic flow problem. I see it [1:09:40] the whole thing as being a problem. I [1:09:42] love the designs. I love all the things [1:09:45] about it. I just think the traffic is [1:09:47] going to be a big big problem um with [1:09:50] the high school and all the other [1:09:52] openings that we have there. I know we [1:09:54] need openings, but we have to egress, [1:09:57] but it's causing more traffic. And I I [1:10:01] it's an assumption they're going to [1:10:02] widen Spash Fork Parkway. would be silly [1:10:05] not to, but I still think a lot of it is [1:10:08] just traffic issues is is my main [1:10:11] concern. Thank you for your time. Thank [1:10:13] you, Miss Godfrey. [1:10:18] Hello, I'm Holly Osborne and I live at [1:10:21] 2369 East, 430 South. So, I am also just [1:10:26] south of the houses uh where my neighbor [1:10:29] Amanda was talking about them being [1:10:31] offset. I agree with Amanda also. We [1:10:34] would really love our back um back [1:10:37] windows to not be staring into a house. [1:10:39] But my other uh concern is that um these [1:10:43] kids who live over here up in this [1:10:46] neighborhood have just been reszoned to [1:10:49] Sierra Bonita, which is an elementary [1:10:51] school over here. And there is zero [1:10:54] buses to Sierra Bonita. You're not [1:10:57] there. Uh because it's less than a mile [1:11:00] and a half I believe from Sierra Bonita. [1:11:02] There is it is a zero bus school. So [1:11:06] these kids, my sister lives up in the [1:11:09] neighborhood up here. These kids are [1:11:12] riding their bikes and walking through [1:11:15] what is now an extremely dangerous [1:11:17] four-way stop. Um and just going to be a [1:11:22] more extremely dangerous, I believe, um [1:11:24] roundabout. the roundabout. They're not [1:11:26] stopping. Um the cars aren't stopping. [1:11:30] The kids are going to be uh at the mercy [1:11:32] of, like you say, the teenagers stopping [1:11:35] in a roundabout, which is just not going [1:11:37] to be right. I I'm sit there and I watch [1:11:41] that four-way stop and there are police [1:11:44] cars and ambulances there constantly. [1:11:46] There are so many accidents right there. [1:11:48] Um, I just can't I don't know how we can [1:11:53] feel good about having just a crosswalk [1:11:56] here for the kids. I think um and we've [1:11:59] seen later down Spanish Fork Parkway how [1:12:02] they have a um a tunnel coming [1:12:06] underneath Spanish Fork Parkway. So, we [1:12:08] know that that is possible. Is there [1:12:10] some way that we can make it truly safe [1:12:14] for our kids, bridge, tunnel, whatever [1:12:17] it is that they can actually get from? [1:12:19] And so we live over here. Our kids have [1:12:21] been walking on the muddy trail um to [1:12:24] Maple Mountain. our kids go this way to [1:12:26] Sierra Bonita, but it would be really [1:12:30] lovely for this for our kids to not have [1:12:34] to go across [1:12:36] Spanish Fork Parkway or across 100 South [1:12:40] on foot or on a bike. If they could go [1:12:43] underneath it, that would be the ideal [1:12:45] for me. I know that this is the time to [1:12:47] be able to do this, right? And if we [1:12:49] have one kid, right, we've within the [1:12:52] last couple years, we've had kids killed [1:12:54] in pedestrian accidents. If we have one [1:12:57] kid die walking, riding their bike to [1:12:59] Sar Bonita or to Maple Mountain, that [1:13:02] will make all of this worth doing it [1:13:06] right. If that happens, you'll regret [1:13:08] that you didn't do it the right way. [1:13:10] Thank you. [1:13:10] >> Thank you, Holly. [1:13:16] Any other comments from the public? [1:13:28] » My name is Angie Dirkmont and I live at [1:13:30] 424 South 2250 East. Sorry, the map [1:13:33] changed. But um my biggest concern is [1:13:36] parking, too. We're worried about all [1:13:38] this traffic. I don't know how many [1:13:39] spots are in the parking lot, but it's [1:13:42] tiny. like that is little and not [1:13:44] enough. Um, usually like temple workers, [1:13:48] patrons, if you add all that up, it's [1:13:50] probably two like 200, 300 people on a [1:13:53] busy day on a at a wedding. And so I [1:13:56] don't know if they can cut some of the [1:13:57] houses to like make more parking. I know [1:14:00] um now that that's back. Um, right here [1:14:03] we go to this church. Sorry, I'm not [1:14:04] very steady. Um they're going to take [1:14:07] our parking lot which we use this [1:14:09] pavilion all the time as like because we [1:14:11] live over here and if this is planning [1:14:14] on parking they're taking a whole grass [1:14:16] strip here from us that we use because [1:14:19] when they built our meeting house it is [1:14:21] too small for us to even meet in the gym [1:14:23] when we go to the um have parties. We [1:14:26] use that grass, but their plan is to [1:14:28] take that from the steak center and um [1:14:31] like we just had a back to school [1:14:33] barbecue and we don't even fit in the [1:14:35] pavilion that's left for us in that [1:14:36] building. And that might be a church [1:14:38] question to talk to. But honestly, I'm [1:14:40] very concerned about the parking. I [1:14:42] don't know why it has to be 110 houses. [1:14:45] I don't know if they can because once [1:14:47] this fills up, I mean, you've got people [1:14:49] parking on roads because they're old and [1:14:51] can't walk as much. And this is a pretty [1:14:53] far walk from that church over here um [1:14:56] to get to the temple. And so that's um [1:14:59] one of my biggest concerns um along with [1:15:01] all the other ones that have been stated [1:15:03] too. Um but yeah, just the safety, the [1:15:06] roads. Um there's more and more houses [1:15:08] if you zoom out of that area. I mean, [1:15:11] there's 110 houses there straight across [1:15:13] from our neighborhood. There was 78 that [1:15:15] were being proposed. There's ones that [1:15:17] are being built and a few people that [1:15:18] are here that are the third of a third [1:15:21] of acre lots, but there's just so much [1:15:23] going on and I just don't even know if [1:15:25] that parking lot's going to be big [1:15:27] enough. I guess I just would need to [1:15:28] know like how many parking spots there [1:15:31] are and how many like workers they plan [1:15:34] on having, how many patrons, a busy day [1:15:36] at a wedding because if people start [1:15:38] parking on the road out in like out by [1:15:41] Maple Mountain, because I'm guaranteeing [1:15:44] if it does get too busy and that parking [1:15:46] lot's not big enough, then that might be [1:15:48] a concern. But, uh, that's all. Thank [1:15:51] you, Angie. [1:15:58] Sorry, Marie Godfrey again. I did not [1:16:01] ask when I was up here. These are larger [1:16:03] lots. Is that correct? Okay. So, this [1:16:07] little thing is a load. In other words, [1:16:09] if I bought that big lot, I have to do [1:16:13] load from the back. I don't have a front [1:16:15] driveway. Yuck. Thank you. [1:16:21] Any other comments? [1:16:23] Okay. I will close the public hearing. [1:16:26] Um, thank you for all those who came and [1:16:28] commented. Um, I have a couple follow-up [1:16:31] questions and then I'll open it up to [1:16:33] the commission if you have follow-up [1:16:34] questions as well. Um, to staff or the [1:16:37] applicants. Um, my first one, um, [1:16:41] a lot of comments about traffic. Um, and [1:16:44] I'm specifically wondering about any [1:16:46] plans, um, for widening any of the [1:16:49] surrounding roads. I think there Spanish [1:16:51] Fork Parkway. It was alluded to a [1:16:53] possible widening and I just asked for [1:16:55] some clarification about the surrounding [1:16:58] roads any widening in the future. [1:17:05] Uh with this development obviously it'll [1:17:08] be widened along the edges of the [1:17:10] development. Um we do have a few other [1:17:13] development applications along Spanish [1:17:15] Fork Parkway that will do the same. Um [1:17:18] and then the city is working with UD do [1:17:20] on some modifications to the US6 [1:17:23] connection. [1:17:24] >> Thank you. And then I just wanted to [1:17:26] comment um that we had discussed in our working session there are six exits [1:17:32] um from this development um that exit in [1:17:36] all different directions. And so um we [1:17:38] had appreciated that um in our earlier [1:17:40] discussions. Um and a question for Eric. [1:17:45] Um would you talk about um maybe the [1:17:48] issue of the offsetting homes with those [1:17:50] neighbors and window to window? [1:17:53] >> Sure. Well, right now [1:17:54] >> if you'll give us one second, we have a [1:17:57] page in the civil plans that shows the [1:18:00] lot lines of the adjoining properties. [1:18:02] >> Thank you. Um, and then feel free to [1:18:14] » So, right now, [1:18:15] >> the lots are [1:18:16] >> Yeah, there's a little bit of an offset [1:18:17] there today. It may not have read quite [1:18:20] in the kind of handdrawn version of [1:18:22] this, but we're proposing that there are [1:18:24] slightly offset. [1:18:25] >> Yep. That's a much more clearer picture [1:18:27] of the offset of the lots. Yeah. Thank [1:18:29] you. Y [1:18:31] >> Oh. Um, sorry, one more question, Eric, [1:18:33] while you're there. Um, and I know that [1:18:35] the temple is not your project, but do [1:18:38] you know how many parking spots will be [1:18:41] on the temple grounds? [1:18:43] >> I don't I don't know the number of [1:18:44] spaces. However, I would say that the [1:18:46] that they're very that they're very [1:18:47] thoughtful about the way they've [1:18:48] approached parking um and they're very [1:18:50] concerned about making sure that they're [1:18:52] parking the needs that they need to to [1:18:53] serve the temple um in the way that [1:18:56] they've approached it. [1:18:57] >> Okay. Thank you. [1:19:00] Um, any other additional questions from [1:19:03] the commission? [1:19:03] >> Yeah, I guess some questions. Holly, [1:19:05] thanks for your comment there about [1:19:07] we've heard before, I think, or at least [1:19:09] I've heard about the Sierra Bonita [1:19:11] connection there as well. This is [1:19:12] actually a question for staff. Um, can [1:19:15] we comment on what the difference looks [1:19:17] like between say this this roundabout [1:19:21] versus what we have right there right [1:19:22] now, which I know is just a four-way [1:19:24] stop with a just a four-way stop, right? [1:19:27] versus um let's just talk about what the [1:19:30] difference looks like that from a [1:19:31] pedestrian perspective [1:19:35] >> in terms of safety and things like that. [1:19:37] >> Um strictly looking at pedestrian [1:19:41] um roundabouts in many studies are much [1:19:44] safer than than a four-way stop [1:19:47] intersection for pedestrian crossing. [1:19:50] um a as you're crossing because of the [1:19:53] refuge islands that we have in the [1:19:55] middle of them. Um you only have to [1:19:57] really pay attention to traffic one way [1:20:00] at a time, right? You're not looking for [1:20:02] both both ways at a time in a [1:20:04] roundabout. Um and you have that island [1:20:06] that you can kind of stop and and and [1:20:09] then look at the other direction. So, um [1:20:12] yeah, there's [1:20:14] many [1:20:15] um federal wide or nationwide and even [1:20:20] um in some of our projects, roundabouts [1:20:24] that we've currently constructed, we [1:20:26] have a lot of safety data that shows [1:20:28] that they're much much more safe for [1:20:31] pedestrians and cars. Um we've tracked [1:20:37] we'll track intersections um crash data [1:20:42] three years before um roundabouts put in [1:20:46] and then we'll watch it for three years. [1:20:48] So some of our original roundabouts that [1:20:51] we've installed over the years we're [1:20:53] seeing hit that three four years. Um and [1:20:57] we can see and and we have the data to [1:21:00] show that there is um quite uh increase [1:21:05] in safety from from those roundabouts. I [1:21:07] would also add we learned from um former [1:21:09] commissioner Warick um that the Nebo [1:21:11] School District also um is responsible [1:21:14] for safe uh routes to school and they do [1:21:18] um put those out and so Neibo school [1:21:20] district I'm certain as this is [1:21:23] developed um will study and recommend [1:21:26] safe walking routes to school. [1:21:30] So about the let's also talking about [1:21:34] traffic and I know you probably have [1:21:36] data or at least have seen this. If [1:21:38] we're talking 3 to 500 more cars or [1:21:40] something like that. [1:21:42] >> Yeah. [1:21:42] >> What does that look like in terms of [1:21:43] actual traffic impact [1:21:45] >> big hour? So they've submitted um within [1:21:50] the last week a traffic impact study [1:21:52] that we've reviewed and our city traffic [1:21:54] engineer uh Dylan Mir Brooks reviewed [1:21:57] too. And and so currently if you're [1:22:00] looking to level service or delay at an [1:22:02] intersection that that intersection is [1:22:04] at a failing level of service, there's [1:22:07] more delay than that we would consider [1:22:09] as a level service A or B. With the [1:22:12] roundabout, that almost doubles the [1:22:15] input and and [1:22:18] shrinks the delay that it would be a [1:22:19] level service A or B um with with this [1:22:23] project and out 10 years. [1:22:27] So that's coming from the model um that [1:22:29] their traffic engineers have have done [1:22:31] and that we've reviewed. So it increases [1:22:34] the function of that intersection quite [1:22:36] a bit. So [1:22:39] >> the one uh comment also that um that [1:22:42] Holly made or or or just sort of an [1:22:45] observation obviously further north we [1:22:47] have that underpass which is one of the [1:22:49] greatest things ever. I don't know how [1:22:52] many places we actually have those. [1:22:55] What does it take to get [clears throat] [1:22:56] something like that [1:22:58] >> from a pedestrian perspective? [1:23:00] >> Lots of money money [1:23:01] >> or or an over or an overpass? I know we [1:23:03] don't have anything like that, you know, [1:23:04] and and and and how did that even come [1:23:07] about? I'm just kind of curious for [1:23:08] context. [1:23:08] >> So, I I don't know if Dave knows. I [1:23:10] wasn't around when it came. Um and so [1:23:13] I'd start with it. It takes space. And I [1:23:16] think that's partly what makes that [1:23:17] successful. Whereas some other [1:23:19] pedestrian underpasses that you know [1:23:22] maybe were built decades before that was [1:23:25] where lines of sight get really [1:23:28] restricted and he creates some kind of [1:23:30] space that you know eyeballs can't get [1:23:34] on and and they're not the types of [1:23:37] places where you really wanna want to [1:23:39] have people frequent. Um, but with the [1:23:43] one at Legacy Farms, because we were [1:23:44] looking at a I think about a 200 acre [1:23:48] development, I think that's what Legacy [1:23:49] Farms is with 800 or so homes with a big [1:23:54] parkway leading up to Spanish Fork [1:23:58] Parkway where we could gradually have [1:24:01] the trail descend down below [1:24:04] the roadway, gradually pull it back up [1:24:07] because there was a lot of room to work [1:24:09] with both in terms of how to deal with [1:24:12] the grade change vertically and how to [1:24:15] keep things just vis vis excuse me how [1:24:17] to keep things visible [1:24:19] >> you know horizontally through there um I [1:24:22] think it does work really really well I [1:24:25] think that's a real challenge that'll be [1:24:28] hard to deal with here um it might be [1:24:30] more akin to um I mean you see them [1:24:33] sometimes stairways that go down and [1:24:37] under a street and then back up to where [1:24:40] uh um it's just not great space. The [1:24:45] potential for things that you don't want [1:24:46] to have happening, you know, happening [1:24:47] in those spaces becomes higher than I [1:24:50] think most communities are comfortable [1:24:51] with these days and that type of a [1:24:52] thing. So I I agree conceptually it's a [1:24:56] great idea. Uh you rarely see those [1:24:59] things though I think because they're [1:25:00] hard to execute. [1:25:03] >> Yeah, understood. Um, I guess I'll [1:25:07] comment to on traffic, which I know we [1:25:09] all experience as residents, and we've [1:25:11] been commenting all night. Um, the [1:25:14] biggest challenge that it seems like we [1:25:16] run into really is is the school versus [1:25:19] everything else. Um yeah, I had a son [1:25:21] who I've had two children who've gone to [1:25:23] school there and the time is right [1:25:26] around school time and obviously when we [1:25:28] have um people coming home from traffic, [1:25:30] but the absolute worst time is that sort [1:25:31] of 2:45 that that that you're talking [1:25:34] about at the end. Um seems to look a [1:25:37] little less worse in the morning, but [1:25:38] it's pretty terrible in the morning. So [1:25:40] um [1:25:42] from that perspective, like I'll just comment on that like I [1:25:47] don't those are hard challenges. um to [1:25:50] face here. Um and I don't know if this makes things [1:25:56] meaningfully different from that [1:25:57] perspective because the real the real [1:25:59] challenge really is the school. What I [1:26:01] do think is is helpful here and and [1:26:04] obviously this was a question we had [1:26:05] before understanding that we do have [1:26:07] these other egress points. I don't know [1:26:10] how that flows with the rest of traffic, [1:26:12] but uh that's something that that [1:26:14] materially changes here. I don't know if [1:26:15] we've had any research or anything we've [1:26:17] done on that just generally beyond just [1:26:19] there's more paths here. Is there [1:26:21] anything staff can comment on that? [1:26:26] » So in the traffic study that we received [1:26:30] um [1:26:32] peak trip in the after school hours [1:26:35] about 75 trips um in and out of the [1:26:38] neighborhood. and they do show a map of [1:26:41] kind of percentages of where those are [1:26:45] coming in and out of the neighborhood. [1:26:47] So, the most um I think the most that I [1:26:50] saw is about 20% maybe on the north end. [1:26:54] So, [1:26:55] um not not huge when compared to the [1:26:59] school. I think right now it's about 800 [1:27:01] trips is the the peak [1:27:05] existing through that intersection. So [1:27:08] if you take 20% of 80, you're maybe [1:27:10] getting [1:27:12] 20 trips through there added to the 800 [1:27:15] that exists. So minor impact according [1:27:18] to their traffic study. [1:27:19] >> Have we offset with the roundabout? [1:27:22] >> Correct. Yeah, I mean the the roundabout [1:27:25] will definitely help traffic through [1:27:27] their offset. [1:27:28] >> Are there any proposed stop sign? I mean [1:27:31] obviously this would be through. Are [1:27:33] there any There's no four-way stops or [1:27:35] any changes here. Is that [1:27:38] >> correct? [1:27:39] Yeah. [1:27:43] » Why Why the offset on the roundabout? [1:27:46] Why not have it in line with the [1:27:49] intersection [1:27:51] >> spacing? Yeah. There's [1:27:53] >> Is it just for the [1:27:54] >> existing [1:27:55] >> to align it with the temple? [1:27:58] >> No, there [1:27:59] >> that's the way it looks. I think it's [1:28:01] the opposite. Honestly, the roundabout [1:28:04] had to be cited further south because we [1:28:07] didn't want to try to take property that [1:28:10] would be required with the existing home [1:28:12] on the north [1:28:13] >> east corner and the building on the [1:28:15] northwest corner to try to fit it in. [1:28:17] Roundabouts take more room than your [1:28:20] typical intersection, [1:28:20] >> right? But every other intersection [1:28:22] where we put a roundabout, we put it [1:28:24] it's pretty much in the center of the [1:28:26] intersections. It [1:28:27] >> it might seem like it. That's not always [1:28:29] the case. Um, but that's why if I think [1:28:33] everybody would probably prefer to have [1:28:35] it, you know, right there lined up with [1:28:37] the center lines of the two roads. [1:28:39] >> Yeah. I I just feel like it would flow [1:28:41] better if it was and work more the way [1:28:44] they're designed if they're better [1:28:46] aligned with the roads coming to it. I I [1:28:50] >> am I [1:28:51] >> understand that in I think so a little [1:28:53] bit and you know I appreciate the uh [1:28:56] discussion that we've had about [1:28:57] roundabouts a little bit tonight. Part [1:29:00] of the beauty of roundabouts and why [1:29:02] they are safe is that they slow people [1:29:05] down and some of there are a lot of [1:29:07] different things that go into that I [1:29:09] believe. Um, but having an offset like [1:29:12] this, I think that's partly in some [1:29:15] cases why roundabouts are a great tool [1:29:16] because they do work really well at [1:29:19] intersections that don't perfectly align [1:29:21] on cardinal directions or that type of a [1:29:23] thing. So, and I think some of that [1:29:25] comes from just drivers have to be more [1:29:29] aware, more careful, and I don't see [1:29:33] this as being any kind of a negative [1:29:35] that it it's not right there at the [1:29:37] center of the intersection. [1:29:42] is is I mean we see that this is [1:29:44] obviously the drawing that you know the [1:29:46] applicant has here but I assume this is [1:29:48] all complete the per this phase or are [1:29:50] we going to have kind of a strange thing [1:29:52] going on here [1:29:56] » I know what I think but I want to [1:29:57] >> everything we've seen is a complete one [1:30:00] um I believe that Southeast property [1:30:03] owner they've been working with to get [1:30:05] the necessary rightway the city owns [1:30:08] some of that rightway Okay. Anyways, [1:30:09] along along the road right there, um [1:30:13] shifting it south just a titch out of [1:30:15] that intersection makes it so we don't [1:30:18] need to acquire any rightway to the [1:30:19] north. So, [1:30:21] >> it would be a full complete. [1:30:23] >> So, if you left if you centered it in, [1:30:27] you would have to get a right away from [1:30:29] the high school and the other the [1:30:30] northeast property also. Mhm. [1:30:33] >> And this way you can put most of the [1:30:36] burden on the temple property and then [1:30:39] the other [1:30:40] >> the other field that's not developed. [1:30:41] >> I said we own actually off the road a [1:30:44] little bit. Okay. [1:30:45] >> The city does already. [1:30:47] >> The the temple property would probably [1:30:49] be or at least whatever is is taken from [1:30:51] that's probably the easiest place for it [1:30:53] right now. [1:30:55] >> Nothing there. And I think the the [1:30:58] property owner that we're working with [1:30:59] here, I think they're taking the lead on [1:31:02] working to acquire the right of way on [1:31:04] the east side of Spanish Fork Parkway [1:31:06] for the roundabout. Is that right? [1:31:08] >> That's correct. [1:31:09] >> And will this roundabout be big enough [1:31:11] that we can pull a trailer around it [1:31:12] without have to drive over it? [1:31:17] » Depends on who's [1:31:17] >> like the ETH North roundabout that [1:31:20] >> you just you can just drive straight [1:31:21] over that. [1:31:21] >> It won't be patterned after the 800 [1:31:23] North ones. Correct. [laughter] [1:31:25] And a lot of that's a function of we had [1:31:27] to fit it, you know, and so [1:31:29] >> I just g [1:31:30] >> Yeah, [1:31:31] >> Madam Chair, [1:31:33] >> yeah, you're going to have school buses. [1:31:34] >> Uh, traffic concerns are really common [1:31:37] and we appreciate hearing them. Um, I [1:31:41] think one thing that is helpful to keep [1:31:44] in mind is that traffic comes from a lot [1:31:49] of different places. There still is a [1:31:51] lot of land left to be developed on the [1:31:54] east side of Spanish Fork Parkway. We [1:31:56] have developments on that side of the [1:31:59] road that you know, frankly, they um [1:32:02] they've been moving pretty quickly. Been [1:32:03] a lot of homes built out there in the [1:32:05] last couple of years. There will be a [1:32:07] lot of additional homes built over [1:32:09] there. Um, I I'm not trying to sugarcoat [1:32:12] anything, but truly I um think that this [1:32:15] development uh could be a big benefit [1:32:19] with the addition of the key traffic [1:32:22] control the roundabout that we're [1:32:23] talking about with having uh First South [1:32:26] expanded [1:32:28] um having a remaining part of Spanish [1:32:31] Fork Parkway up to the roundabout [1:32:33] developed sidewalk, different things [1:32:36] like that that all you have to do is [1:32:38] drive down that street when kids are [1:32:39] walking to or from the high school and [1:32:42] you know something's missing. Um so this [1:32:46] development will definitely [1:32:49] if it moves forward and things happen [1:32:50] the way we're talking about tonight [1:32:52] address issues that go well beyond just [1:32:57] what's happening on this property and uh [1:33:00] so forth. So just another thought. [1:33:03] >> No yeah thank you for those comments [1:33:04] that puts things into perspective. Um, [1:33:07] any other final questions? [1:33:09] >> I like a lot of it. I like the the [1:33:11] sidewalk going down Parkway M. [1:33:14] The comment about the kids, that's going [1:33:16] to put Nebo School District in a pickle [1:33:18] because that's scary right there. And I I don't know how you solve that, but I [1:33:23] guess they'll help us figure it out. [1:33:25] >> I I I really hope that roundabout is [1:33:27] helpful. And And I've seen that. I guess [1:33:30] I I'll make a personal comment. I've [1:33:31] probably said this many times. I I've [1:33:34] ran this so many times. I I don't like [1:33:37] running in the fields. I like running on [1:33:38] the road. To actually get this connected [1:33:40] would be great. We've had Maple Mountain [1:33:43] High School's been here what since 2009 [1:33:45] or something like that. Kids have been [1:33:47] walking here and as soon as we got the [1:33:49] gas station that's there, they they used [1:33:51] to have kids over here. Just the fact [1:33:53] that that's all worn in there. We're [1:33:54] finally going to get that in place. This [1:33:56] is something that we've needed for an [1:33:58] extremely long time and we've just sort [1:34:00] of made do for, you know, a decade plus [1:34:02] almost two decades here given the [1:34:04] traffic there. So, I mean, I guess I'll [1:34:06] just kind of comment on what you said, [1:34:07] Dave, finally to have, you know, the [1:34:10] trail to have some pedestrian access [1:34:11] there because this is a real pedestrian [1:34:13] thoroughfare. I think a lot of us forget [1:34:14] because we're all car-based that, you [1:34:17] know, the pedestrians exist. This is one [1:34:20] place where literally pedestrians have [1:34:22] forged their own trail. [1:34:23] >> Yeah. Right. [1:34:24] >> With their own feet here. And that'll be [1:34:26] so good to get that nice and and [1:34:28] improved and safe here. So, um, yeah, [1:34:32] that and I know I know we're talking [1:34:34] traffic here. I guess I'll also make a [1:34:35] comment just on the, um, on, you know, [1:34:38] on the plan and everything here. This [1:34:40] looks, uh, this is one of the more in [1:34:42] uh, I I would almost say one of the more [1:34:44] complete developments I've seen that [1:34:45] we've had here. Oftentimes, it kind of [1:34:47] feels like we're trading horses a little [1:34:49] bit. And I know we're actually talking [1:34:50] about some a zone change here as well, [1:34:52] but um, I just really like what I'm what [1:34:55] I'm seeing here in this. It's it's [1:34:57] something unique. It feels like it fits [1:34:59] with uh it's also kind of fits and flows [1:35:02] into everything else. I like how we're [1:35:03] floating in into the existing [1:35:05] neighborhoods here as well. Um you know, [1:35:08] I I like that we commented here on the [1:35:10] offset. We'll see what that looks like [1:35:12] when that happens there, but that at [1:35:13] least sounds like like it's there. [1:35:15] Obviously, things change as further [1:35:18] development comes. You know, these are smaller than what we have existing [1:35:21] out here, but I really like what I'm [1:35:23] seeing here quite a bit. So, I'll just [1:35:26] make that comment. [1:35:28] >> Commissioner Johnson. [1:35:29] >> Yeah. Um, so we haven't addressed um, [1:35:32] you know, one of the questions about [1:35:34] parks and and so Dave, you know, I know [1:35:38] Spanish Forks City has a goal to have a [1:35:41] park accessible to, you know, every [1:35:43] resident and there's a a beautiful park [1:35:47] that's located in this um, subdivision. [1:35:50] Is that accessible or is it private? Um, [1:35:53] will it be a park for everybody? And if [1:35:55] it's not a park for everybody, um what [1:35:58] are the plans for the future to to [1:36:01] provide a park in this area? Um and [1:36:05] you know, what does that look like? [1:36:08] >> I'll start and then I think because Mr. [1:36:11] Snder talked to our parks folks. Um I'm [1:36:14] going to let you weigh in on just kind [1:36:15] of the bigger picture city situation [1:36:17] with with city parks in the area. Um, as [1:36:21] I understand it, the park that's being [1:36:23] designed here, it's going to be a [1:36:25] private park. As such, we as the city [1:36:28] don't look at that as part of the [1:36:30] overall park space kind of program for [1:36:32] the for the community. That's not to say [1:36:35] that it won't be available for other [1:36:38] people to use, but that will be up to [1:36:39] the property owner to decide and uh we [1:36:43] proceed accordingly. So, that being [1:36:46] said, Brandon, do you want to talk about [1:36:48] the bigger perspective of the city's [1:36:52] parks and recreation master plan. [1:36:54] >> Yeah. And I believe uh you've spoken [1:36:57] with BART as well. Um so we we got the [1:37:01] phone call and I I believe Casey [1:37:04] transferred u this resident to BART. [1:37:07] is our assistant parks uh sorry [1:37:10] he's our parks assistant director [1:37:13] specific for parks and open spaces. And [1:37:14] I think I emailed you this morning with [1:37:17] an exhibit that he provided to us. Um [1:37:20] there are some goals that the city has [1:37:23] in their master park plan where they [1:37:25] talk about spacing from different size [1:37:28] parks, regional parks, community parks, [1:37:30] neighborhood parks, pocket parks, and [1:37:32] whatnot. Um and in that uh email, there [1:37:36] was an image that uh he had provided [1:37:38] that showed the parks in the area. um [1:37:41] and he kind of went over some of the [1:37:43] distances with me. And so this is not a [1:37:46] property that the city is looking to [1:37:48] place a park on. There would be a need [1:37:50] further east. Um this park um he did [1:37:54] highlight that there is the Railside [1:37:57] Trail Park that is scheduled to have [1:37:59] more amenities and playground equipment [1:38:01] installed that is just off this image to [1:38:04] the west. Um there is obviously the open [1:38:07] space with the high school. Um there is [1:38:10] a city park up by Sierra Bonita. Um and [1:38:13] then I think just over a mile was the [1:38:15] electric park. Um but he did not uh [1:38:19] indicate that a park would be needed on [1:38:21] this property. [1:38:23] >> Thank you, Brandon. [1:38:24] >> Or at least at this time, right? Um, and [1:38:27] one other question was um, with the the [1:38:31] access road off of I think Whiting and [1:38:35] Spanish Fork Parkway, there have been [1:38:36] talks of a gate because it is private [1:38:39] owned. There have been talks of maybe [1:38:41] not a gate. Do we know what they are [1:38:44] planning to do in that off that street? [1:38:51] So from what I understand, again it's the temple's property, but I I [1:38:55] understand that there will be a gate and [1:38:57] the function of that really is so [1:38:58] legally they can shut it down once a [1:39:00] year so there isn't a prescriptive [1:39:01] easement that is then established [1:39:02] through that area and that's the purpose [1:39:04] of it. The intent is to leave it open. [1:39:08] >> Thank you. [1:39:08] >> Can I maybe mention that that really is [1:39:11] a big deal I think for city staff. I [1:39:14] think it's a big deal for the [1:39:15] neighborhood. I appreciate seems like [1:39:16] it's a big deal for you. Um, we're [1:39:19] familiar with situations where roads [1:39:20] need to be closed for that amount of [1:39:22] time every year. And I think typically [1:39:24] when that happens, it happens at a time [1:39:26] when it is uh [1:39:29] um fairly discreet, doesn't have a big [1:39:31] pack big impact on people that that use [1:39:33] it day in and day out. Um, we would be [1:39:37] concerned as staff if it were closed um [1:39:40] for any longer duration of time than just that, but I think we're [1:39:45] comfortable. So, I don't want to speak [1:39:47] for [1:39:49] everybody, but I think we're really [1:39:51] comfortable with that arrangement and [1:39:52] might even want to have that included in [1:39:54] the development agreement just that that [1:39:56] the road not be closed for any more time [1:39:59] than what's required by law. [1:40:04] >> Yeah, because I can totally see [1:40:05] especially where you got the [1:40:08] connecting right to the high school [1:40:09] there that that's going to be a shortcut [1:40:13] for a lot of students to get in and out. [1:40:15] think they're going to and yeah, I think [1:40:19] they're going to end up in the long long [1:40:21] run, hopefully I'm wrong, but I think [1:40:22] there'll be a lot of conflicts and with [1:40:26] the traffic right there. [1:40:31] » Can we go back to the the sheet showing [1:40:33] the road cut for Spanish Parkway and [1:40:37] also 100 South? on my laptop. It's just [1:40:39] all blurry. But how many lanes are we [1:40:42] going to have when when both sides are [1:40:44] finished of Spanish Fork Parkway and and [1:40:48] 100 South? [1:40:50] >> Are you referring to the civil plans? [1:40:52] Yeah, [1:40:52] >> we don't have them in this slide, but we [1:40:54] can pull them up. [1:40:55] >> Well, maybe you could just tell me how [1:40:58] many lanes or I just [1:40:59] >> Yeah. Uh master plan wise or long-term [1:41:03] wise, Spanish Parkway will have three [1:41:05] lanes. So, two travel lanes and a median [1:41:08] turning turning lane. Um 100 South is a [1:41:11] two-lane road. It's a little wider [1:41:14] because it um allows parking on the [1:41:17] side. So, has a little wider shoulders, [1:41:19] but it's it's meant to stay a two lane [1:41:23] um one lane in each direction. So, [1:41:28] » um can we go back to the slide with the [1:41:30] findings and conditions? Um if there's [1:41:33] unless there's any other final comments, [1:41:35] um I would entertain a motion. [1:41:38] >> Uh one comment I'll make. Um and Dave [1:41:41] inspired this if maybe we add I mean [1:41:44] obviously we're we're proposing the [1:41:47] fair, you know, or recommending maybe we [1:41:50] add a comment there just uh for that [1:41:52] private road specifically minimum uh [1:41:55] time closed with that being that sort of [1:41:57] intent. Obviously the city council, it's [1:42:00] up to their discretion, but and add a [1:42:02] condition that it's closed no more than [1:42:06] >> minimum necessary. Yeah. Whatever [1:42:08] necessary [1:42:09] >> or per requirement by the law. [1:42:13] >> I think it'd be in the subdivision. [1:42:14] >> Is that something we condition we could [1:42:16] add? [1:42:16] >> Yeah. So you've got again two motions, [1:42:18] right? Two different things that you're [1:42:20] deploy. So with respect to the zone [1:42:22] change that wouldn't apply to the zone [1:42:23] change motion and you come back to the motion on the subdivision. You [1:42:27] could add a condition a recommendation [1:42:30] recommended condition in that case. [1:42:32] >> I would really like to have that. [1:42:33] >> Okay. [1:42:34] >> Just um just to make that intent clear [1:42:36] because obviously it matters to staff. I [1:42:38] think it matters to to everyone else [1:42:40] there to [1:42:41] >> so that'll be the next not this motion [1:42:44] but the next motion. So [1:42:46] >> I would make the motion that we um the [1:42:49] proposed oak Village zone change be [1:42:51] recommended for approval based on the [1:42:54] followings and subjects of those [1:42:56] conditions. [1:42:58] >> I have a motion. Do I have a second? [1:43:00] I'll second. All in favor? [1:43:03] >> I. [1:43:04] >> Any opposed? [1:43:07] Motion passes. Thank you. [1:43:09] >> So now technically you need a a new [1:43:10] public hearing for this subdivision. [1:43:12] >> Got it. [1:43:13] >> To discuss anything else that may need [1:43:15] to be discussed. [1:43:16] >> Thank you. Uh we will now open the [1:43:18] public hearing for the Oak Village [1:43:20] subdivision preliminary plat. Do we have [1:43:24] any members of the public who would like [1:43:26] to comment on the preliminary plat? [1:43:31] Seeing [1:43:34] » um so that was presented um both the [1:43:37] zone change and the pre preliminary plat [1:43:39] were presented together and then we're [1:43:41] holding two separate public hearings. So [1:43:43] all the information has been presented [1:43:45] already. [1:43:51] Please come forward. [1:43:54] >> Um, if you'll wait till you get to the [1:43:55] mic and if you'll reintroduce yourself [1:43:57] and remind us [1:43:58] >> what is the preliminary plot, what it [1:44:00] means. [1:44:03] >> Will you take that Dave? [1:44:04] >> Explain. [1:44:05] >> Yeah. So, um, a subdivision plat is a [1:44:09] document that gets recorded at the Utah [1:44:13] County Recorders Office and that's what [1:44:17] creates individual pieces of property [1:44:19] that can be sold or just conveyed to [1:44:22] different property owners. So, it's what [1:44:23] splits properties up. In this case, [1:44:26] doing it this way, this is the legal way [1:44:28] to do it. [1:44:29] >> Um, and that process has two steps. [1:44:33] the preliminary plat step and then after [1:44:35] that there's a final plat step. So we [1:44:40] address certain issues at the [1:44:43] preliminary plat stage and then other [1:44:45] issues at the final plat stage. Um but [1:44:49] frankly we addressed the I would say [1:44:51] most impactful and significant issues [1:44:53] with the preliminary plat [1:44:55] >> and then the final plat basically is [1:44:57] just a technical document with some more [1:45:00] precise construction plans that gets [1:45:03] approved um administratively by city [1:45:05] staff. So this is the most important [1:45:08] part of the process that leads [1:45:10] eventually to somebody being able to [1:45:12] take different pieces of a property and [1:45:16] uh have those created and be able to [1:45:18] convey those to a different owner. [1:45:20] >> Okay. Can I say something about the well [1:45:23] the lots? No, because they will be [1:45:25] approved later if they go over the two [1:45:29] 208 [1:45:31] and 209. [1:45:33] Why they don't leave that green all that [1:45:35] green area open? Because of the [1:45:37] neighbors in this side, we walk to [1:45:39] church that way and it's a green area. [1:45:42] Why is not living open? Because the way [1:45:44] it sounds, you guys don't don't say much [1:45:47] about the neighborhood park. I held a [1:45:49] railroad park which is a dog park for me [1:45:52] because each time I walk over there with [1:45:54] my grandkids, it's all poop there. Yeah, [1:45:56] it's pretty bad. So why they don't leave [1:46:00] that green area? And hopefully you guys [1:46:02] look to a little more bigger park and [1:46:05] the way it sounds is private park a [1:46:09] circle park. So we won't be able to have [1:46:12] access. So what is that? [1:46:15] Can can they do that before? [1:46:19] >> Um so we're still in public hearing. [1:46:21] We've taken your comments and your [1:46:22] questions. Um and do you have any do we [1:46:25] have the timer up? Did you have any [1:46:26] further [1:46:27] >> No, I say that two lots. [1:46:29] >> Okay. Yeah. to be leave open. [1:46:31] >> Okay. Thank you, Nor. [1:46:33] >> Any other public comment on the [1:46:36] preliminary plat. [1:46:39] >> Um, you'll need to come to the [1:46:40] microphone, please. [1:46:43] And if you'll restate your name. Sure. [1:46:46] It's Marie Godfrey. I just don't see [1:46:48] where she was talking about. If someone [1:46:49] could point to it, that's all I wanted [1:46:51] to know. Okay. She's saying 28 and 29. [1:46:55] >> Oh, okay. That's all I wanted to know. [1:46:56] >> Thank you. Any other comments? [1:47:01] Seeing none, I will close the public [1:47:04] hearing. [1:47:07] » So, if we go back to the landscape plan, [1:47:09] you can see that the the trail space [1:47:12] between the Yeah, this shows it. I don't [1:47:15] have a pointer. Thanks. So, what we're [1:47:18] talking about is there's an existing [1:47:19] trail that comes down here. It would [1:47:21] then continue and come down and connect [1:47:24] over here and then also continue with [1:47:26] the streets. [1:47:27] And so that is just a continuation of [1:47:29] the existing trail that would come down. [1:47:33] >> Okay. Thank you, Brandon. [1:47:36] Any questions or comments from the [1:47:38] commission regarding the preliminary [1:47:41] plat? [1:47:42] >> So I just want to clarify on the the lot [1:47:45] staggering. The other plan shows them [1:47:47] more staggered. This shows them [1:47:48] perfectly lined up. [1:47:50] >> So which one is the plat? [1:47:52] >> And Eric, please come up. But it was the [1:47:54] other drawing. This was um it was [1:47:57] >> tough as I think what's difficult about [1:47:58] this drawing is that we we're lined up [1:48:00] on the aerial uh photog photography that [1:48:02] we have available to us. And if you look [1:48:04] really closely, you can kind of see [1:48:06] where they are. This is the this is the [1:48:08] actual plat that will be recorded. And [1:48:09] this is exactly the the uh the [1:48:12] identification of the civil plan from [1:48:14] the lots to the south and the new civil [1:48:16] plan that will be in this preliminary [1:48:18] plat. Definitely clearly more staggered [1:48:20] than [1:48:21] >> so that's about as staggered as you [1:48:23] could get those lots. [1:48:26] >> Yeah. [1:48:28] >> Okay. [1:48:29] Any other questions or comments? [1:48:35] Seeing none, I will entertain a motion. [1:48:37] >> All right. So before the motion, I want [1:48:39] to add that condition that we added [1:48:41] talked about specifically minimum amount [1:48:43] of time closed for the uh for the [1:48:47] private road there connecting um from [1:48:49] Whiting to University or sorry not [1:48:51] university uh Spanish Fork Parkway. [1:48:54] Thinking of different cities there. [1:48:56] [laughter] [1:48:57] >> And before a motion, could I also ask [1:49:00] going back to this entrance onto Spanish [1:49:02] Fork Parkway? It's a narrower entrance. [1:49:05] It's not standard like the other side. [1:49:08] Could it be? Could it be a standard like [1:49:10] the other side? [1:49:11] >> I thought we said it was the same size, [1:49:13] just different material. [1:49:14] >> I thought it was narrower and and [1:49:15] different material. [1:49:19] » Is it narrower? [1:49:22] >> It is. I don't think it's narrower. I I [1:49:24] think it is the same. Um [1:49:26] >> it is the same. [1:49:26] >> Yeah. I It should be consistent all [1:49:29] throughout. It's just the materials that [1:49:31] are used. We're elevating it. [1:49:33] >> Slow them down. We're not actually [1:49:34] designing that. That is that is part of [1:49:36] the um temple [1:49:38] >> temple site. Okay. Okay. [1:49:41] >> Thank you. [1:49:42] >> Okay. Thank you. [1:49:43] >> So I propose we add that. [1:49:45] >> So is that [1:49:48] >> I guess my question is Dave or is that [1:49:51] even part of this recommendation? [1:49:57] >> I think absolutely. I I think it is [1:49:59] >> it is even though it's it's outside of [1:50:01] the boundaries what they're asking [1:50:04] >> because are we reszoning did we reszone [1:50:06] the the church also? [1:50:10] >> Uh [1:50:10] >> yes I think [1:50:11] >> yes now we're talking about a different [1:50:14] application [1:50:15] >> right but so in this plot [1:50:19] >> are we is this roadway is included in [1:50:22] this plot it will be [1:50:23] >> yes the temple parcel is part of the [1:50:26] preliminary plot. Yes. approve it right [1:50:28] now. So, this that roadway is actually [1:50:31] something that we can put the conditions [1:50:34] in that Paul's talking about. [1:50:35] >> Yeah. [1:50:36] >> Okay. [1:50:36] >> Do we have some recommended verbiage for [1:50:39] those conditions? Um Paul suggested that [1:50:42] meets the minimum requirement for the [1:50:44] law. Is that enough? Do we know what the [1:50:45] law is that we could be more specific? [1:50:48] >> I think what he said was fine [1:50:50] >> the minimum it be restricted in a [1:50:53] minimum minimal way or however you said [1:50:55] that. I think [1:50:56] >> yeah minimum amount of time and I don't [1:50:58] even know if I I make the suggestion we [1:51:02] >> Yeah. [1:51:03] >> Okay. [1:51:04] >> I might also add like [1:51:05] >> that'll go to the city council and the [1:51:06] city council will tweak it if they need [1:51:07] to. [1:51:08] >> Yeah. They tweak everything [laughter] [1:51:09] and and also like the least disruptive [1:51:11] time as well too. I don't know Sunday at [1:51:15] 1:00 a.m. whatever you know. [1:51:16] >> I know. Paul, do you want to make the [1:51:18] motion? [1:51:19] >> Yeah. So yeah, let's bring up that just [1:51:21] so I [laughter] get that motion. [1:51:23] >> Can I add one more thing too? Like if [1:51:24] we're if we're thinking about this and [1:51:26] we're we're down, you know, maybe [1:51:29] different material to try and slow down. [1:51:32] I'm just thinking like Provo Center [1:51:34] Street 15 miles an hour, right? Is that [1:51:36] something that we consider too? Like [1:51:38] maybe it's not your standard 25 miles an [1:51:40] hour. Maybe we are 10 15 miles an hour [1:51:43] right here on this small strip or I [1:51:45] don't know. [1:51:46] >> I think that's absolutely the idea. [1:51:48] Okay. And it's, I think, an effort to to [1:51:52] uh get that reaction through how it's [1:51:56] designed more so than what's on a sign. [1:51:58] >> Yeah. [1:52:00] >> So, real quick, when you're talking [1:52:03] different materials raised, so you more [1:52:05] like a a speed bump type [1:52:08] >> or like a stamp concrete. So, when [1:52:09] you're traveling on it's making noise, [1:52:11] slowing you down, something like that. [1:52:13] >> And uh and I misspoke. That is [1:52:15] definitely part of our application. What [1:52:16] I meant is our team is the Temple team [1:52:19] that's designing it. So, I'm I'm careful [1:52:21] about what I'm committing them to do. [1:52:24] >> Trying not to get in trouble. [1:52:25] >> Oh, come on. [1:52:28] >> But I I we I've talked with them about [1:52:30] it. That is absolutely the um the spirit [1:52:33] of what we're trying to do. Slow traffic [1:52:35] through there. It'll be open for cars to [1:52:37] come through. Um we've talked to them [1:52:40] about that. They've agreed to it. So, I [1:52:42] think we're completely good there. [1:52:44] >> Okay. [1:52:44] >> Thank you. [1:52:46] Okay. So, I'll make a motion that the [1:52:49] proposed Oak Village subdivision [1:52:51] preliminary plat be recommended for [1:52:52] approval based on the following findings [1:52:54] and subject to the conditions as noted [1:52:56] here. I want to add one more condition [1:52:58] that the private road from Whiting to [1:53:00] Spanish Fork Parkway be that that's our [1:53:03] suggesting it be clo when it is closed [1:53:05] that we'd ask it be closed for the [1:53:06] minimum amount of time in the least [1:53:08] disruptive time. [1:53:11] >> Thank you. I have a motion. Do I have a [1:53:13] second? [1:53:14] >> Second. [1:53:15] All in favor? [1:53:17] >> I I [1:53:18] >> Any opposed? [1:53:20] Motion passes. Thank you. [1:53:24] >> The next item of business is to adjurnn. [1:53:27] Uh do I have a motion to adjurnn? [1:53:28] >> I'll make a motion to adjurnn. [1:53:30] >> Second. [1:53:31] >> All in favor? I [1:53:34] >> you. Thank you so much.
