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.
