beyond and to the north south and east by single-family detached homes in the R-55 zone. 111 00:34:14,910 --> 00:34:26,040 This map shows this other property is not within any overlay zones, and this map shows that the property is already developed and you can also see the surrounding existing residential neighborhoods. 112 00:34:28,390 --> 00:34:34,210 On this map you see that there's very little slope on the property and some existing trees along the edges. 113 00:34:36,270 --> 00:34:41,710 This map shows that Livingston Road is a master plan collector right-of-way and is adjacent to the subject property. 114 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,760 This is the bird's eye view of the property. 115 00:34:47,140 --> 00:34:48,880 Here we have looking north. 116 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,020 The subject site consists of two existing parcels that form one large rectangle. 117 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,560 With the short end fronting on the east side of Livingston Road right-of-way. 118 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:05,280 Both existing parcels were originally developed with single-family detached homes prior to 1965. 119 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:16,120 And the existing house, on partial 255,

--> 00:35:25,780 You can see Livingston Road here in the background, the existing church building, 122 00:35:25,780 --> 00:35:34,500 And then this existing building to the south side of the property is a former house that now serves as a rectory for the church. 123 00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:39,900 And this is a better view of the rectory with looking east at the property. 124 00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:43,900 Looking east towards the property, excuse me, the church is in the front here. 125 00:35:46,730 --> 00:35:56,610 One existing 25 foot wide driveway, off of Livingston Road, into the middle of the site, serves both parcels and is to remain unchanged with the subject application. 126 00:35:56,610 --> 00:36:04,530 The existing 2007-11 square foot one-story 25-foot high church building is located in the 127 00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:12,490 northwestern corner of the site within 10 feet of the northern property line here, and within 128 00:36:12,490 --> 00:36:16,190 42 feet of

of this building and will create a long rectangular building parallel to the road. 131 00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:37,710 The existing parking lot, which is located behind into the east of the existing church building, 132 00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:42,450 will be extended to the south and around the southern end of the new addition to accommodate 133 00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:46,810 We also have additional staff here for a second because this is an annual thing with the children. 134 00:36:47,690 --> 00:36:54,030 And so apparently we have visitors and so we're going to put a push from here. 135 00:36:54,150 --> 00:37:02,970 Everyone within our audience and our viewing audience, let me just say, we have fun on Halloween and we have fun. 136 00:37:03,650 --> 00:37:08,310 When we can, but

00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:39,780 I was describing the plan. 149 00:38:40,020 --> 00:38:44,980 There is a existing 2007-11 square foot one story. 150 00:38:44,980 --> 00:38:51,000 25-foot-high church here in the northwestern corner of the property, and then the proposed 151 00:38:52,140 --> 00:38:57,580 1702 square-foot building edition will be at the south of this building, creating a long 152 00:38:57,580 --> 00:39:03,420 rectangular building that's parallel to Livingston Road. The existing parking lot is located 153 00:39:03,420 --> 00:39:08,420 behind into the east of the existing church, and will be extended to the south around the 154 00:39:08,420 --> 00:39:13,940 southern end of the new edition to accommodate the required parking. A proposed shallow wet 155 00:39:13,940 --> 00:39:21,160 Well, we'll be located in the southwestern corner of the site to manage stormwater runoff from the additional parking lot in building areas. 156 00:39:21,980 --> 00:39:36,360 The existing 184 square foot one and a half story 23 foot high residential rectory building is located in the south eastern corner of the property within 29 feet of the southern property line. 157 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:43,200 And there is an existing 503 square foot, 15 foot high shed located to that, the southeast 158 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,260 of that, within three feet of the southern property line. 159 00:39:47,260 --> 00:39:51,940 And then there is an existing paved driveway area located on the eastern side of the residential 160 00:39:51,940 --> 00:39:52,940 rectory building. 161 00:39:53,540 --> 00:39:56,820 No new improvements are proposed in this area of the site. 162 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:04,280 There is a variance request associated with the DSP from the requirement of Section 27-441B, 163 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:12,940 put note 52A for a minimum 25 foot set back from each slot line. Again, the existing shed is located 164 00:40:12,940 --> 00:40:17,320 within three feet of the southern property line. And the existing portion of the church 165 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,560 building is located within 10 feet of the northern property line. Both of these conditions 166 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:27,680 have been in existence since prior to 1965 when the residential properties were originally 167 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:32,720 built. The new church building is internal to the site and is not encroaching to this 168 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,660 For this, another reason is described in the staff report, staff has found the subject 169 00:40:38,660 --> 00:40:42,140 application meets the criteria for granting the variance and recommends the planning 170 00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:45,340 for the approved variance as part of the CSP application. 171 00:40:46,620 --> 00:40:51,980 AC-1301-2 is for the same issue relative to the existing Sheds encroachment 172 00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:57,840 into the required section 4.7 in compatible use buffer yard along the southern property line. 173 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,020 Again, the staff recommends applying board to prove this AC. 174 00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:06,840 These elevations show the combined existing and proposed church parts. 175 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:12,360 The top elevation here is the western elevation facing Livingston Road 176 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,060 with the existing church on the left portion 177 00:41:15,060 --> 00:41:17,720 and the proposed addition to the right. 178 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,680 The middle elevation here is the eastern elevation facing towards the existing parking lot area 179 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:29,860 with the existing church to the right end, and the proposed addition on the left. 180 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,580 And then this lower left elevation is the southern end of the building. 181 00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:38,600 This is the new addition portion of the church. 182 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,040 And then the one on the lower right is the existing northern elevation of the church. 183 00:41:44,140 --> 00:41:46,820 Again, this is the existing portion of the building. 184 00:41:47,640 --> 00:42:00,240 The existing church building has a dark brown asphalt shingled gabled roof and is finished in beige vinyl siding on all elevations, and it also has ample white trimmed windows and a balanced design. 185 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:10,120 Crossgable features provide some variation to the existing roof line, and the main door is located along the western elevation at the northern end of the building. 186 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:16,860 For post-building, building addition will continue the same materials, but will also have 187 00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:21,880 a brick-fineared water table along the western and eastern elevations. 188 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,760 This added feature enhances the appearance of the building, but seems out of places that 189 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:32,040 does not continue along the existing building, or along the southern elevation of the 190 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:32,440 addition. 191 00:42:33,100 --> 00:42:37,340 Therefore, South has included a condition in the recommendation section to require the 192 00:42:37,340 --> 00:42:46,300 water table to be extended around the entire building, including the existing portion, for continuity and to enhance the appearance of the overall building. 193 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,960 The following is a short series of photographs of the existing site in area. 194 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:59,540 This is looking at the western elevation of the existing church building from Livingston Road, Livingston Road in the foreground. 195 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:06,140 And then this is the southern and eastern elevation of the existing church building. 196 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:13,800 The proposed church edition will be here in the foreground and then the proposed additional parking 197 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,880 area will be further in front of that. 198 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:23,360 And then a different view of looking south at the eastern elevation of the existing church 199 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:23,800 building. 200 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:32,100 This area will remain largely unchanged except for the condition requiring the continuation of the brick water table along the building. 201 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:52,920 With that, the Urban Design Section recommends plainboard adopt the findings of staff and approve DSP 13021 and AC13012 with the Associate Variance for Bible Life Christian Center, subject to the one condition found on pages 15 and 16 of the staff report and this concludes staff's presentation. 202 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,880 Thank you Ms. Josec, I have other questions at this time. 203 00:43:58,980 --> 00:44:00,560 Okay, Jeffrey way. 204 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:01,560 Do you wish to speak? 205 00:44:06,580 --> 00:44:08,700 Please come to have an identify yourself for the record. 206 00:44:09,180 --> 00:44:10,340 Good morning, Jeffrey way. 207 00:44:10,340 --> 00:44:16,160 I'd like to read the microphone a little bit. 208 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:16,460 Thank you. 209 00:44:17,340 --> 00:44:18,180 Thank you. 210 00:44:18,180 --> 00:44:25,480 We are appreciative of the work of staff and we accept the conditions and the approval 211 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,500 And, which to say thank you again for working with us. 212 00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:33,580 When we first encountered this process, I've had history with the Church for nearly 20 years. 213 00:44:34,220 --> 00:44:41,280 I was the architect of record when they developed the first piece of land, which was roughly a little more than half an acre. 214 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:53,660 And so the Church through its good work in the community, and the Church of the Kingdom, has been able to acquire the piece of land that comes around to the rear, 215 00:44:53,660 --> 00:44:58,400 into the right, which was being indicated with the cursor, and it was our belief that the 216 00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:59,460 line was two acres. 217 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:22,660 However, through the process of Livingston Road being widened, some years ago, a small piece of land was used for public space, and so the church resulted with 1.9 filmmakers, and it's actually that loss of 0.06 acres that necessitated this hearing. 218 00:45:22,660 --> 00:45:32,160 And so, with my experience in other jurisdictions, I know we're all sort of doing different things according to our requirements and the lay of the land. 219 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:46,220 For example, in Washington DC, they have something called the 80% rule, which allows that if a lot is at least 80% of the statutory requirement that it can be processed and approved by the most streamlined process. 220 00:45:46,220 --> 00:45:52,360 So, although we accept the process and you appreciate the kind of work of the excellent work of staff, 221 00:45:53,240 --> 00:46:02,420 I would just like to bring it to the discussion, or at least for the record that the commission and the committee would consider some sort of rule that allows 222 00:46:02,420 --> 00:46:12,460 properties that are reduced by virtue of public works or something like that to be looked at favorably and with a streamlined approach. 223 00:46:12,820 --> 00:46:14,360 Thank you very much. 224 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:19,500 Look into that, at least entertain a discussion with our elected officials on that, too. 225 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:19,860 Thank you. 226 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:20,560 Thank you. 227 00:46:20,620 --> 00:46:22,960 Are there any questions in this or way?

The site basically is zone MXT, is a mixed-use transportation or in hit zone. 281 00:50:52,180 --> 00:51:02,480 And adjacent to the rest of the other West Philadelphia development, this is the Smith's home farm, right, to the north of the property. 282 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:08,440 There is no overlay on this side. 283 00:51:09,580 --> 00:51:14,580 Aero photo shows that the site is basically undivolved. 284 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,740 A lot of environmental features on the largest site, 285 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,540 but the site we are talking about today 286 00:51:24,540 --> 00:51:28,460 within this detailed site plan is basically has 287 00:51:28,460 --> 00:51:31,900 no significant environmental feature. 288 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,720 This is the master plan right

this is the phase one. 297 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:18,420 Actually, this is the first phase of the phase one, because we're looking at this rectangular 298 00:52:18,420 --> 00:52:20,360 areas only for today. 299 00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:25,280 This is the detailed side plan. 300 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:30,760 You can see the rectangular with the big circle. 301 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:35,780 This circle known as the Eastern Circle of the residential portion. 302 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:43,120 348 townhouse unit as being proposed. 303 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:51,500 They are full blocks, we're urban type of blocks in dense. 304 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,980 And the surrounding the big circle. 305 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,880 Alley has been, alley system has been used, 306 00:53:03,430 --> 00:53:03,530 yes. 307 00:53:04,530 --> 00:53:08,790 This is the exhibit of parking. 308 00:53:10,570 --> 00:53:13,730 This site has a very long approval history. 309 00:53:14,890 --> 00:53:17,790 2007, excuse me. 310 00:53:18,290 --> 00:53:19,690 Let's fill a second play. 311 00:53:20,050 --> 00:53:23,670 We turned the larger property in the MXC zone. 312 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:31,510 And after that, there is a conceptual side plan that has been approved for the logic side. 313 00:53:33,170 --> 00:53:45,910 And there is one revision, is 01 revision, to CSP 0704, which exclude more property from the rest of the Westfield Account Center. 314 00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:52,790 And then there is a condition was just reconfigured by the planning board last planning 315 00:53:52,790 --> 00:54:01,530 hearing to allow the fronloaded garage unit to be in this part of the town center. 316 00:54:03,330 --> 00:54:10,590 And there are one preliminary plan of subdivision covered the largest site of this 317 00:54:12,820 --> 00:54:16,440 One, yeah, covered the entire town center side. 318 00:54:17,060 --> 00:54:19,320 And then there are three detailed side plan. 319 00:54:19,340 --> 00:54:29,020 One is DSP-12017, which is the infrastructure detail side plan for face one, which covered 320 00:54:29,020 --> 00:54:29,680 this area. 321 00:54:31,060 --> 00:54:40,200 And then there is another special purpose detail side plan, DSP-12043, which was approved by 322 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:52,580 In this year, a specific governing this signage, rack facilities and trails of the larger 323 00:54:52,580 --> 00:54:53,420 site. 324 00:54:53,900 --> 00:55:04,840 And then, a planable recently approved umbrella detail side plan is DSP-301, which 325 00:55:07,060 --> 00:55:11,420 the residential, you know, architectures for the, for the logic development. 326 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:18,960 In this case, even though it's a face one, and then since the architecture has been 327 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:25,680 approved previously, and then we, we don't have a specific model included in this 328 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:33,320 details side by side, but the model will be used within the pool of the 329 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:34,740 1301. 330 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:49,680 If you remember in the umbrella approval, one of the 331 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:54,620 features, one of the components of that approval is to identify 332 00:55:54,620 --> 00:56:05,860 different type of street and according to street and the category, there is a the break 333 00:56:05,860 --> 00:56:15,300 percentage has been required for the development. You see here this is the face one covered 334 00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:24,100 in the state of Saipai which will be subject to the umbrella approvals break percentage 335 00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:24,940 requirement. 336 00:56:27,700 --> 00:56:35,720 They are two major tile house units as being proposed to be included in this 337 00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:43,840 face one. And then this one is the 16-footer. Basically, the width of the tile house is 338 00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:49,780 16 in a feet. And different type of roof pattern, if you remember. 339 00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:53,800 Yeah, this is just 340 00:56:55,200 --> 00:57:07,320 pitch roofed one. This is the other townhouse model, which has a 20 feet front-age width 341 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,720 of the building and then different combination. 342 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,160 This is the flat roof, 343 00:57:16,550 --> 00:57:17,430 yes, this is another 344 00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:18,130 model. 345 00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:25,830 There's another one, there's the biggest one, most of them are located at the 346 00:57:25,830 --> 00:57:35,050 24-footer, and they have different, you know, architecture elaborations here and also this 347 00:57:35,050 --> 00:57:50,070 did rear of the building. And then this is the flat roof allotions. This is the break 348 00:57:50,070 --> 00:57:58,170 percentage exhibit. Since the site included in this detail site plan is located here, exactly 349 00:57:58,170 --> 00:58:11,170 this rectangular shape. And then we have 50% along the grain. And those year lows are 70% 350 00:58:11,170 --> 00:58:23,530 break requirements. And in this, this black unit basically is a highly visible unit, which 351 00:58:23,530 --> 00:58:27,830 will have additional requirement for the break on the isolation. 352 00:58:30,490 --> 00:58:33,090 I would like to show the 353 00:58:33,090 --> 00:58:50,630 There is one special location of this detail side pie, which is over here, the applicant and their 354 00:58:50,630 --> 00:58:54,290 design section could not upgrade a palm, 355 00:58:56,330 --> 00:58:58,270 the design of this small section. 356 00:58:58,270 --> 00:59:01,290 I'll try to, yeah, bring it out here. 357 00:59:02,570 --> 00:59:05,670 Do you need to review of this, of this face one, 358 00:59:05,930 --> 00:59:09,430 a design section paid a very special attention 359 00:59:09,430 --> 00:59:12,990 to the relationship of the UNIX, 360 00:59:13,070 --> 00:59:15,790 because it's comparatively very dense 361 00:59:15,790 --> 00:59:20,410 and a very, very, very in a way to have so many UNIX 362 00:59:20,410 --> 00:59:25,390 within a very small confined areas of the Alice system. 363 00:59:25,390 --> 00:59:40,350 And then we pay special attention to the relationship of the units and to avoid the rear of the unit to be directly fronting the front of the unit. 364 00:59:40,350 --> 00:59:50,070 And then, in this case, there's a one situation here, you see here, and highlighted in green. 365 00:59:51,210 --> 00:59:59,970 Basically, it has three units, which have the front, have the front of the other building directly seen. 366 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:25,780 In the rear, back yard of the three units. And then, yeah, addition, I think, since it's very dense, you see, the full blocks are very dense as well, we try to ask for some green open space in the middle of the block in order to provide the relief in terms of the urban design. 367 01:00:25,780 --> 01:00:36,800 We recommended in the staff recommendation, if you can go to your backup page 368 01:00:38,940 --> 01:00:45,720 36, there is a condition as Nancy. 369 01:00:45,720 --> 01:01:05,320 We basically recommend the applicant to remove those three units in order to avoid the situation that, you know, those three units rear yard basically fronting the front of the other units. 370 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:14,140 The in order for this block to have a central located grain of in space. 371 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:23,240 I think the applicant try, at least during the review process, to redesign this small section, 372 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:30,460 and then they propose to screen this area from the rest of the front unit. 373 01:01:30,460 --> 01:01:43,440 And we'll go to one of the slides that provided this will be the view from the rear yard of those three units. 374 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:49,540 At least one of them seeing the other front of the other building. 375 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:58,940 And then another exhibit you see here that's from the other unit, the fronting rear of this one. 376 01:01:58,940 --> 01:02:05,000 I really appreciate the applicant's efforts during the review process. 377 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,440 The issue is that the site is very tiny. 378 01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:23,860 The site is so tiny that from this point of this triangle, 379 01:02:23,860 --> 01:02:30,160 triangular shape to this point is on the 70 feet. 380 01:02:32,060 --> 01:02:40,160 70, 70, 70, and then if you go from this point, you point to this point, the add and 381 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,240 other 70. 382 01:02:42,340 --> 01:02:49,800 So the high block width of the front here to here is only a 140 feet, and then from this 383 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:54,120 side, from here to here is about 78 feet. 384 01:02:54,380 --> 01:02:58,200 So it's so constrained, I mean the size is so small. 385 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:09,580 You know, Dawkins shows some screening effort, but they're stoppedly with really no space to, you know, try to achieve the screening. 386 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:23,760 Therefore, we still recommend that the entire, I mean, there's three units, as including condition number and one, and should be removed. 387 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,740 You're talking about that condition, bro. 388 01:03:28,260 --> 01:03:28,640 No, no. 389 01:03:29,100 --> 01:03:30,640 Those units, yeah. 390 01:03:30,900 --> 01:03:32,620 I mean, that's why we have the condition. 391 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,020 I'm sorry for the confusion. 392 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:42,040 Yes, you're speaking of the three units that are enclosed within the green perimeter. 393 01:03:42,540 --> 01:03:43,060 Yes, sir. 394 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:43,780 Yes, sir. 395 01:03:43,820 --> 01:03:47,860 Is there any way that if it was less perhaps two units would it make a difference? 396 01:03:47,860 --> 01:03:55,160 Well, actually you've the entire 3 unit got removed this the errors covers within this 397 01:03:55,780 --> 01:03:58,140 Green line is only 398 01:03:58,140 --> 01:04:02,320 Less than 8,000 square feet, so it's really small 399 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,720 What 70 feet looks like I can try to measure the width of this room 400 01:04:08,300 --> 01:04:09,380 Anybody have the idea? 401 01:04:10,620 --> 01:04:16,260 Probably 40 feet already from that.

It is a very urban design 444 01:08:21,370 --> 01:08:28,670 as is dictated by the sector plan by the previous approval, since intentionally urban, it has 445 01:08:28,670 --> 01:08:35,270 a major focal point, which is the circle in the middle of the project of phase 1, which 446 01:08:35,270 --> 01:08:40,190 you see on this parking exhibit, which is up now. That's circle, as I told the board before, 447 01:08:40,370 --> 01:08:46,130 but I'll remind you, is roughly the size of DuPont circle downtown.

This is I. 501 01:12:57,460 --> 01:13:03,020 I'll change to all the environmental signer, Mr. Rogers. 502 01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:05,520 Good morning. 503 01:13:05,860 --> 01:13:06,300 Good morning, thank you, Mr. Rogers. 504 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:07,720 Environmental Planning. 505 01:13:13,070 --> 01:13:19,470 We, the use of Fian Lu was approved by the District Council's part of the CSP approval. 506 01:13:20,170 --> 01:13:27,950 And with the preliminary plan approval, there was a condition to have this note in full placed on the TCP1. 507 01:13:27,950 --> 01:13:41,770 And so it's our position that the entire note should be continued to be shown on the TCP-2 just in conformance with the preliminary plan approval and the TCP-1. 508 01:13:42,190 --> 01:13:49,830 And the reason being, I think we all understand that the use of FEMLU is approved, but just kind of as a reminder moving forward. 509 01:13:49,830 --> 01:14:00,430 And of course, we would prefer to see, you know, as much preservation reforce station in each phase as possible to meet the threshold to the greatest extent possible. 510 01:14:01,690 --> 01:14:08,690 Madam Chair, with that clarification from staff and as long as that is on the record that everybody understands this project. 511 01:14:08,690 --> 01:14:14,690 I think that would be excellent, thank you Ben, so we do not need to strike some of the delay. 512 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:17,450 This is how you got that as an additional finding of this. 513 01:14:17,930 --> 01:14:21,100 Thank you. 514 01:14:21,380 --> 01:14:25,320 Moving on all the way through one K, no changes. 515 01:14:31,770 --> 01:14:39,970 One L, we asked to strike the last language which addresses in accordance with the approved 516 01:14:39,970 --> 01:14:46,510 that are playing the subdivision and again I think this is a clarification I believe this 517 01:14:46,510 --> 01:14:53,010 condition was addressing one issue regarding one of the out parcels which we have agreed to 518 01:14:54,270 --> 01:14:59,090 is address somewhere else in the conditions relabeling a parcel to an out parcel. 519 01:15:00,020 --> 01:15:14,800 But in fact, we do label all the meets bounds that the bearings and distances on the locks and blocks, but as you get down the detailed site plan, the individual townhouse locks are slightly different than the preliminary plan. 520 01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:23,220 So we didn't want to be confusion there, and I think subdivision was looking at an issue regarding one of the larger outparsals, not the individual townhouse locks. 521 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,060 Yeah, I think it makes sense. 522 01:15:27,300 --> 01:15:28,540 Oh, we agree with that. 523 01:15:28,540 --> 01:15:29,020 Okay. 524 01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,960 One end is the one we have a little bit of a subset of discussion about a minute. 525 01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:34,740 Thank you. 526 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,080 Thank you. 527 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:41,720 Three is a condition two is fine. 528 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:49,140 Three is a condition which we are just adding in the word temporary before entrance because 529 01:15:49,140 --> 01:15:52,860 ultimately there will be an entrance there and we didn't want it to be suggested there 530 01:15:52,860 --> 01:15:54,060 that we're going to choose. 531 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:55,540 This is that? 532 01:15:55,580 --> 01:15:57,040 We all, okay, was that. 533 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:04,860 Number four is a discussion we have a staff at one of our more recent meetings about making 534 01:16:04,860 --> 01:16:09,900 sure that the wrecked facilities related to this phase are timed with the completion of this 535 01:16:09,900 --> 01:16:10,440 phase. 536 01:16:11,540 --> 01:16:18,720 And so rather than saying 349th building permit overall in the project, we wanted to tie it 537 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:25,460 a building permit trigger within this phase, which actually I think is a better result for staff, 538 01:16:26,420 --> 01:16:31,800 not to speak for them. And so we proposed that it would be prior to the 200th building 539 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:38,700 permit for the townhouse units within phase one. We're a great kind of, you know, earlier than 540 01:16:38,700 --> 01:16:41,720 previous conditions. Thank you. Thank you. 541 01:16:45,220 --> 01:16:50,590 Number five is regarding the stream restoration 542 01:16:50,590 --> 01:16:58,210 work, and in this one we want to make a clarification that it'd be the 350th building permit 543 01:16:58,210 --> 01:17:05,470 or permit for single family units attached or detached, because I wasn't quite sure where 544 01:17:05,470 --> 01:17:13,290 the 350th was coming from, and we are proposing in phase one, 380 townhouse units, 545 01:17:16,950 --> 01:17:20,570 and we 546 01:17:22,170 --> 01:17:31,310 environmental planning. Our original recommendation was to have the timing for the stream 547 01:17:31,310 --> 01:17:39,310 restoration works to begin tied to a subsequent DSP. So I mean it would have to be 548 01:17:39,310 --> 01:17:47,570 started perform before a subsequent DSP were to be accepted and we would prefer not to 549 01:17:47,570 --> 01:17:57,850 to a specific building permit. So we are leaning more toward keeping the original language of any phase, following just phase. 550 01:17:59,970 --> 01:18:17,130 Well, if I may manage to, the reason we put it in, and the every size section put it in specific number of the building permit, because that will be easy to track, otherwise they may have different applications, you know, 551 01:18:17,130 --> 01:18:26,570 condition. The reason we try to put in 350 actually we try to do the 349 because in this 552 01:18:26,570 --> 01:18:32,570 phozo it's 348 house yeah we'll just say right after you that was this face you had to 553 01:18:32,570 --> 01:18:39,290 go to do that so that's why we have the 350 it's kind of a use it to remember and then to 554 01:18:39,290 --> 01:18:40,050 force. 555 01:18:44,290 --> 01:18:49,310 The only issue that I have in this may be getting what Megan's pointing to really 556 01:18:49,310 --> 01:18:55,510 is that we're working our way through the first phase, but as you know the building permits 557 01:18:55,510 --> 01:19:02,430 don't call come all at once, we will be doing some kind of clip. And we may come in with a 558 01:19:02,430 --> 01:19:09,730 to family building that could come on phase, while phase one is going, but say there's only 559 01:19:09,730 --> 01:19:14,790 100 building permits for phase one, pull so far. 560 01:19:15,610 --> 01:19:21,370 And so if the discussion was that you wanted to make sure that the stream restoration 561 01:19:21,370 --> 01:19:28,710 was initiated prior to the completion of this phase, we're okay with that. 562 01:19:28,710 --> 01:19:32,910 And that's why we change the language, that's what we're looking for. 563 01:19:37,610 --> 01:19:41,790 But if it's prior to completion of this phase, but you could... 564 01:19:43,290 --> 01:19:44,570 This phase doesn't finish. 565 01:19:45,330 --> 01:19:48,150 Yeah. That was environmental concern as well. 566 01:19:48,410 --> 01:19:51,750 Was that the 350th permit might not be within phase one. 567 01:19:52,070 --> 01:19:58,130 It could be in a subsequent phase and we were trying to tie it to the construction of phase one. 568 01:19:59,130 --> 01:20:01,210 And it's building permits, not you announced. 569 01:20:01,210 --> 01:20:09,670 Right, and it's environmental planning doesn't necessarily it's not very easy for us to track the number of building permits when when we receive a permit to review 570 01:20:09,670 --> 01:20:16,430 So would be doing the tracking in that it's okay, because normally it's easier to track the numbers 571 01:20:16,430 --> 01:20:23,370 I know that from that it's in the private sector as well, so yeah, so so then we would leave it to environmental to track 572 01:20:24,590 --> 01:20:25,110 Well 573 01:20:25,110 --> 01:20:31,190 So when environmental gets a permit to review, we would just look to make sure that conformance 574 01:20:31,190 --> 01:20:36,370 with all the conditions of approval have been met and I mean without a specific inquiry 575 01:20:36,370 --> 01:20:36,910 for me. 576 01:20:36,910 --> 01:20:40,270 I'm not sure how I would know what I'm going to make. 577 01:20:40,570 --> 01:20:40,990 All right. 578 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:51,020 Yeah, I'm talking with my client and you know, based on local code now, I would propose 579 01:20:51,020 --> 01:20:54,960 we stay with the 350th building permit. 580 01:20:55,020 --> 01:20:58,040 We might want to have a permit before permit. 581 01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:00,920 So we came to the language. 582 01:21:01,580 --> 01:21:05,460 And then if we find that we have some kind of a issue, 583 01:21:05,700 --> 01:21:08,180 we'll come back to the environmental planning and talk about it 584 01:21:08,180 --> 01:21:09,620 and they have to propose a revision. 585 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:15,280 But at this point, I think if we say 350th building permit, 586 01:21:15,780 --> 01:21:16,840 we'll try to work with that. 587 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,260 Can you hear the other language as in staff? 588 01:21:20,260 --> 01:21:24,700 And leave it as originally written, but adding that. 589 01:21:24,700 --> 01:21:26,120 And building before permanent. 590 01:21:26,580 --> 01:21:27,720 And I can't commission a Washington. 591 01:21:29,860 --> 01:21:33,960 So, by the way, I said, to leave for supply to the issue. 592 01:21:34,220 --> 01:21:36,600 What does same condition as a staff report 593 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,200 just adding building in front of permit? 594 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:39,840 OK. 595 01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:44,220 It would be prior to the issuance of the 350 of building permit 596 01:21:44,220 --> 01:21:57,120 For any phase following this phase, DSP 13006, the stream restoration has approved on the technical storm order management plan, shall begin implementation and then continue. 597 01:22:01,020 --> 01:22:01,660 Okay. 598 01:22:17,210 --> 01:22:21,290 For any phase following this phase, so keep the original language complete. 599 01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:23,190 Yes, yes, dammit. 600 01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:28,920 Conditions. 601 01:22:30,020 --> 01:22:30,480 Are you ready? 602 01:22:30,860 --> 01:22:31,140 Yes. 603 01:22:31,140 --> 01:22:39,300 Thank you. Conditions that we can are fine with the applicant. Condition 11. Again, we have a little bit of clarification. 604 01:22:41,940 --> 01:22:55,500 I've added in, I don't know if you're hearing this comment on other cases, but the access these mentioned shall be approved by department of permits and inspections and enforcement or the department of public works as applicable. 605 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:06,180 And then to make this condition, which deals with the same subject matter as condition 606 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:07,880 3, 607 01:23:09,940 --> 01:23:16,100 I didn't want conflicting triggers, and so I copied the language from condition 3, that 608 01:23:16,100 --> 01:23:20,280 says prior to the issue, and so the 150, you can use an occupancy permit 609 01:23:22,330 --> 01:23:23,710 so that it occurs 610 01:23:23,710 --> 01:23:24,290 That's the commission. 611 01:23:26,070 --> 01:23:27,050 Staff agreed. 612 01:23:28,190 --> 01:23:28,430 Okay. 613 01:23:29,210 --> 01:23:30,250 So back to end. 614 01:23:30,270 --> 01:23:31,270 Back to end. 615 01:23:31,390 --> 01:23:31,770 Okay. 616 01:23:31,950 --> 01:23:32,390 Page 36. 617 01:23:35,870 --> 01:23:39,110 This is just, you know, this is a design discussion. 618 01:23:39,470 --> 01:23:41,590 It's somewhat subjective, of course. 619 01:23:43,090 --> 01:23:46,590 We are within the limits of the approved units. 620 01:23:46,770 --> 01:23:49,290 We didn't try to increase the number of units allowed. 621 01:23:49,790 --> 01:23:51,730 We prefer not to lose the three units. 622 01:23:51,730 --> 01:23:56,410 and we think we've come up with a design alternative that addresses the concern. 623 01:23:57,810 --> 01:24:04,250 Henry, I'm wondering if you could go back to all of the exhibits that shows that block. 624 01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,340 The one with the highlight. 625 01:24:10,620 --> 01:24:12,340 The first one, yeah, the green highlight. 626 01:24:12,660 --> 01:24:14,060 I'm going to start with. 627 01:24:17,670 --> 01:24:18,670 Thank you. 628 01:24:18,850 --> 01:24:22,090 When we first looked at this issue, when we submitted the plan, 629 01:24:22,090 --> 01:24:30,530 And we had, I believe, for parking spaces in that triangle that's in the green area because 630 01:24:30,530 --> 01:24:35,510 one of the things we've been working with staff on is the balance of having some extra 631 01:24:35,510 --> 01:24:36,370 parking as well. 632 01:24:37,590 --> 01:24:44,590 So then this discussion came up, and I think you can appreciate kind of the exercise that 633 01:24:44,590 --> 01:24:51,690 goes on here, which is to try to make every block clear so that a front doesn't face 634 01:24:51,690 --> 01:24:59,150 I think we did a very good job of that except for this one location so it becomes an issue right here. 635 01:24:59,430 --> 01:25:03,570 The rest of the site plan for phase one is fully compliant with that. 636 01:25:04,850 --> 01:25:09,130 So what we did at that time was eliminate the parking spaces there. 637 01:25:09,270 --> 01:25:11,930 We did manage to put some in and some other locations. 638 01:25:12,490 --> 01:25:14,910 I don't think we ended up with a net loss of parking. 639 01:25:15,330 --> 01:25:16,870 We're above the code requirement. 640 01:25:16,870 --> 01:25:26,190 And then we added a landscaping and amenity proposal for that little block to give some 641 01:25:26,190 --> 01:25:32,410 screening from the units there in the front space, the backs, and then we put a fence 642 01:25:32,410 --> 01:25:37,310 along the back of that stick of townhouses where the rear faces the front, and Henry's 643 01:25:37,310 --> 01:25:40,890 going to bring up the rendered plans. 644 01:25:40,890 --> 01:25:49,490 So that you can see there is the idea is to use a trellis type pergola type structure 645 01:25:49,490 --> 01:25:55,170 that is not a solid wall, which would not look attractive either, but provides some kind 646 01:25:55,170 --> 01:26:02,030 of break-in addition and then you would fill that with plantings around it that would add additional 647 01:26:02,030 --> 01:26:02,570 screening. 648 01:26:03,530 --> 01:26:10,130 We think that that provides sufficient screening of what I think is the most ownerous or 649 01:26:10,130 --> 01:26:13,070 concerning part of a front-to-rear, which is looking at someone. 650 01:26:13,070 --> 01:26:17,450 What, I mean, some of that you have passed, or Vengeance is there to, or no? 651 01:26:18,910 --> 01:26:25,150 We have the potential to put a sitting area in under the track, so 652 01:26:28,540 --> 01:26:29,400 that's pretty much to 653 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:29,920 scale. 654 01:26:32,030 --> 01:26:32,570 What does that mean? 655 01:26:32,570 --> 01:26:34,530 That's just the illustration purpose. 656 01:26:35,150 --> 01:26:35,310 That's not. 657 01:26:35,970 --> 01:26:40,890 But part of the certification we would need to give a whole layout of that design. 658 01:26:40,890 --> 01:26:47,330 We think that that provides the opportunity to fully screen that view while retaining the units. 659 01:26:47,570 --> 01:26:53,870 We also think retaining those units keeps the balance of that block in terms of the urban layout. 660 01:26:54,050 --> 01:27:08,110 And remember, this is a intentionally very urban design without requirement or design intention of having pocket parks or full parks within each subblock. 661 01:27:08,110 --> 01:27:13,590 If you go back and read to the overall rendered site plan. 662 01:27:17,030 --> 01:27:22,730 How wide is the street from the front of the one house to the back of the other house? 663 01:27:23,310 --> 01:27:24,290 We know that there's this. 664 01:27:24,530 --> 01:27:26,410 I'm getting some help on that commissioner right now. 665 01:27:26,570 --> 01:27:28,550 But keep in mind this is an interior courtyard. 666 01:27:28,670 --> 01:27:34,010 These are private streets, so they're much narrower than the normal public street right away. 667 01:27:34,490 --> 01:27:40,650 It's 22 from the back of the one house to the front of the other house. 668 01:27:40,650 --> 01:27:47,810 out of the house, a little bit of distance, but the street, there's the all-ment-22, the 669 01:27:47,810 --> 01:27:48,530 whiff of the street. 670 01:27:48,890 --> 01:27:49,250 Yeah, the tone. 671 01:27:49,670 --> 01:27:53,790 Can you keep in mind, as I said, this is an internal circulation street, so essentially 672 01:27:53,790 --> 01:27:59,910 this is being used by residents not by cut-through traffic and throw-pair-type traffic. 673 01:28:00,730 --> 01:28:10,430 We think it's an understated internal focus area with landscaping and hard-scaping added 674 01:28:10,430 --> 01:28:15,370 that will achieve the screening and then the dance feature will help that as well. 675 01:28:17,260 --> 01:28:24,540 What are we looking at right here, the four front, the two units are just trying to orient. 676 01:28:25,020 --> 01:28:32,620 This is the rear yard, this defense, the rear yard of the unit, looking to the front 677 01:28:32,620 --> 01:28:34,520 of the other building across the street. 678 01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:39,660 Okay, but the four front would do those represent the three units in discussion that we're 679 01:28:40,620 --> 01:28:46,260 Now, this is just a illustrating on a view of the probably one unit. 680 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:48,900 One, three, two, one, the back door. 681 01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:50,940 Is that the back yard of those three units? 682 01:28:51,100 --> 01:28:51,440 Yes, that's an image. 683 01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:53,480 Yeah, one of the units. 684 01:28:54,660 --> 01:28:59,180 Commissioner Girauder, I'm told that the distance building the building is 45 to 50 feet. 685 01:28:59,280 --> 01:28:59,920 Is that what? 686 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:01,620 45 to 50 feet. 687 01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:02,200 A little more. 688 01:29:02,740 --> 01:29:05,780 This wall is about five feet. 689 01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:16,360 But clarification from building to building not building back yard building to building to building to building to building 690 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:28,340 And keep in mind again, I'm going to keep stressing this over and over this is an urban setting not a suburban townhouse community 691 01:29:28,340 --> 01:29:36,080 And this is the only one location in frankly if Henry, if you could go back to the overall site plan 692 01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:37,560 Well, hold on a second. 693 01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,780 Commissioner Shelby has a question I just want to make sure it doesn't matter for taking to that. 694 01:29:42,220 --> 01:29:50,440 Yeah, just like a 2.1 is I'm assuming there's no option for an elevated back deck on at least these town homes. 695 01:30:03,310 --> 01:30:11,310 Mr. Shelter, your point, my client is saying yes to these particular units if we wanted to add a prohibition to that, they would be amenable to that. 696 01:30:12,310 --> 01:30:17,070 It's just, I think, for private CD, the proximity of the building. 697 01:30:17,330 --> 01:30:23,450 So that was just the question because it does change, I think, the views that we were looking at in this picture. 698 01:30:24,290 --> 01:30:28,170 The second thing is the other slide that you had with the green triangle on it. 699 01:30:28,170 --> 01:30:33,450 I was curious if the layout similar to the southwest area of the circle, 700 01:30:33,810 --> 01:30:39,970 where there's a similar triangle to the left and bottom there, 701 01:30:40,310 --> 01:30:43,930 if that type of layout, it looks like it's a little narrower, 702 01:30:44,870 --> 01:30:47,030 but it looks like at least on the left, 703 01:30:47,670 --> 01:30:50,730 the southwest side where you have that similar configuration, 704 01:30:51,690 --> 01:30:53,990 at least there's not a situation where the town does 705 01:30:53,990 --> 01:30:59,690 of looking front to rear on each other, so I don't know if there was space to consider. 706 01:31:01,730 --> 01:31:09,790 As I was saying, we've achieved the front in pretty much the entire site and just the 707 01:31:09,790 --> 01:31:14,010 way this particular block laid out, we ended up with this problem because of the internal 708 01:31:14,010 --> 01:31:17,790 street network. So I don't think there's additional space. 709 01:31:20,510 --> 01:31:23,550 It would not appear the same 710 01:31:23,550 --> 01:31:29,590 configuration we'd have to move around the block some within the outside envelope. 711 01:31:30,670 --> 01:31:37,870 If you look at this green area and that is a circle or marked off, to me, if you take 712 01:31:37,870 --> 01:31:43,730 off this green block three units, you do end up with a bigger green space there, but I do 713 01:31:43,730 --> 01:31:49,650 think it takes away the symmetry of that internal block because you can see those units face 714 01:31:49,650 --> 01:31:59,170 the other block and they match the internal street where they face their fronts face the 715 01:31:59,170 --> 01:32:06,610 other fronts and taking units away there creates an imbalance in the symmetrical design of 716 01:32:06,610 --> 01:32:13,030 this internal block. We believe that the landscape and screening that we're proposing adequately 717 01:32:13,030 --> 01:32:20,830 addresses the issue, obviously my client would prefer not to lose those units and we think 718 01:32:20,830 --> 01:32:25,970 with the screening efforts that we can do and will be provided in more detail with 719 01:32:25,970 --> 01:32:33,250 certification that we can provide clear screening or no-pate screening of the views from 720 01:32:34,690 --> 01:32:40,870 that particular area and we have no problem with Commissioner Shows suggestion as to the 721 01:32:40,870 --> 01:32:41,190 decks. 722 01:32:42,210 --> 01:32:51,190 So, and then all that would be the prior justification and you could really step it up to make it really, really nice landscaping. 723 01:32:53,170 --> 01:32:53,310 Okay. 724 01:32:53,990 --> 01:32:54,570 I see you're fine. 725 01:32:54,850 --> 01:32:55,110 Not again. 726 01:32:55,710 --> 01:32:56,150 Okay. 727 01:32:56,270 --> 01:32:57,050 We say yes. 728 01:32:57,310 --> 01:32:57,790 Okay. 729 01:33:01,150 --> 01:33:01,510 Okay. 730 01:33:02,130 --> 01:33:02,430 Okay. 731 01:33:02,910 --> 01:33:06,230 So, Susan, I would, okay. 732 01:33:06,270 --> 01:33:11,170 So, that's something we'll have to just, unless there are more questions on this issue, that's just something we'll have to decide. 733 01:33:13,190 --> 01:33:25,870 So, other than that, and you've explained your rationale, you're, we're all in agreement on the revisions to the conditions as pro-the-vert, and we have stated it. 734 01:33:25,950 --> 01:33:26,810 That's correct, Badger. 735 01:33:26,930 --> 01:33:28,730 As we discussed today, we're in agreement. 736 01:33:30,810 --> 01:33:35,630 If there's not going to be a chance for me to have further comment on, and... 737 01:33:35,630 --> 01:33:40,150 Well, there may be, I just want to see, you have a number of people signed up, but it doesn't look like everybody wants to. 738 01:33:40,150 --> 01:33:46,430 All of the folks that are signed up as proponents for the applicant are here for a resource. 739 01:33:47,050 --> 01:33:48,130 No, wait a minute. 740 01:33:49,510 --> 01:33:49,550 Okay. 741 01:33:49,570 --> 01:33:51,350 No, but she doesn't want to speak today. 742 01:33:52,150 --> 01:33:53,190 All right, Ms. Camp. 743 01:33:54,430 --> 01:33:56,210 She's contented back over the room today. 744 01:33:57,010 --> 01:33:57,330 Okay. 745 01:33:58,390 --> 01:33:59,550 And Mr. Bruce as well. 746 01:33:59,990 --> 01:34:01,030 The back of the room today. 747 01:34:02,610 --> 01:34:04,490 Was there anyone who was to speak on this event? 748 01:34:04,610 --> 01:34:07,350 I have a number of people signed up, but no one else was to speak. 749 01:34:07,350 --> 01:34:10,390 Anything else you want to add in this description? 750 01:34:11,070 --> 01:34:12,010 I'm sorry if we have a question. 751 01:34:12,770 --> 01:34:13,610 Thank you. 752 01:34:13,730 --> 01:34:15,710 I have a couple more questions. 753 01:34:16,390 --> 01:34:23,470 So, mainly with regards to sort of this staging or the phasing within phase one itself, 754 01:34:23,690 --> 01:34:28,470 I think there was a few places in the staff report where it said more information 755 01:34:28,470 --> 01:34:30,970 before coming in that respect or then requested. 756 01:34:30,970 --> 01:34:35,150 But I think I saw her sort of the plan with respect 757 01:34:35,150 --> 01:34:36,950 to the recreation facilities. 758 01:34:37,810 --> 01:34:40,090 I may have missed it, but I was also curious 759 01:34:40,090 --> 01:34:45,750 as to sidewalks and landscaping and how those will be 760 01:34:45,750 --> 01:34:48,010 either completed with each phase. 761 01:34:49,110 --> 01:34:53,030 And the related question I had if there was any connectivity issues 762 01:34:53,030 --> 01:34:59,310 or the sidewalks in between residents who want to travel 763 01:34:59,310 --> 01:35:05,110 from this phase being complete to somewhere else if there's a bus stop or transit center, and 764 01:35:05,110 --> 01:35:11,090 if there's connections made irrespective of other phases being started later. 765 01:35:13,410 --> 01:35:16,530 Let me try to address that and if I miss anything, pull me back. 766 01:35:17,550 --> 01:35:22,090 But first of all, this is the main road that runs through there is the master plan, the extension 767 01:35:22,090 --> 01:35:27,190 of what we're calling Woodyard Extended, will come from the new interchange that we'll be 768 01:35:27,190 --> 01:35:30,110 doing after the state completes their bridge work. 769 01:35:30,970 --> 01:35:37,410 There are bike lanes and sidewalks on all of that street. 770 01:35:38,070 --> 01:35:40,670 There are sidewalks within the phases. 771 01:35:41,090 --> 01:35:47,070 I mean, within the blocks to assist pedestrian circulation. 772 01:35:47,390 --> 01:35:49,990 There were a couple of areas where we didn't have sidewalks 773 01:35:49,990 --> 01:35:53,890 and staff worked with us to make sure we did. 774 01:35:53,890 --> 01:35:58,350 And so we have pedestrian circulation throughout. 775 01:35:58,790 --> 01:36:01,990 This phase will be fully integrated into the other phases 776 01:36:01,990 --> 01:36:05,490 and the sidewalks will connect with the other phases. 777 01:36:05,750 --> 01:36:08,470 And ultimately, the town center will be fully connected 778 01:36:08,470 --> 01:36:11,270 with the pedestrian and cycling network. 779 01:36:12,410 --> 01:36:14,390 Obviously, it's going to come over time. 780 01:36:14,970 --> 01:36:19,070 This road, the main road, will extend further to the north 781 01:36:19,070 --> 01:36:21,430 and ultimately into the Smith Farm property. 782 01:36:21,430 --> 01:36:26,310 And it's part of the major circulation for the project. 783 01:36:26,730 --> 01:36:29,130 So when they're matching up with us, 784 01:36:29,130 --> 01:36:31,990 this road will be carried forward in that area. 785 01:36:32,950 --> 01:36:35,570 So the short answer is yes, that the vision 786 01:36:35,570 --> 01:36:39,310 for connectivity is there with it in each phase. 787 01:36:40,010 --> 01:36:42,710 Of course it will take time to evolve. 788 01:36:43,470 --> 01:36:47,870 We do see this as a continuous phase within phase one, 789 01:36:47,870 --> 01:36:56,630 depending on the builder's sales pace and scheduling of units as they come online. 790 01:36:57,390 --> 01:37:06,510 But the road in the circle within the road will be put on grade in constructed early on in the first days, before and resonance. 791 01:37:09,530 --> 01:37:12,850 And the landscape being is similarly- 792 01:37:12,850 --> 01:37:18,730 The landscaping within each sub quadrant would be done with that sub quadrant as their 793 01:37:19,690 --> 01:37:25,190 commenced and completed obviously construction sequencing impacts that you don't want 794 01:37:25,190 --> 01:37:29,950 to put something in and have to rip it out, but it would be done with an each quadrant 795 01:37:29,950 --> 01:37:30,770 of the days. 796 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:46,180 This one more question, I appreciate the information that was shared on some of the environmental features, I think that discussion was on pages 14, 15 of the staff report, paragraph 17. 797 01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:59,740 There was some statement that alluded to different features that would be encouraged, and I sort of curious what we're going to, which of those might be offered, which ones were perhaps contractive for with the builders, 798 01:37:59,740 --> 01:38:07,940 or were optional features and you know what might be included throughout so I don't know if 799 01:38:07,940 --> 01:38:13,760 that's determined at this stage but I was wondering if you could maybe share some more information 800 01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:16,120 in that respect. I think that's sort of top. 801 01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:19,560 Are you talking about the efficiency in green techniques? 802 01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:20,460 Yes, exactly. 803 01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:33,060 Yeah, essentially the internal unit, the windows and the insulation, the type of efficiencies 804 01:38:33,060 --> 01:38:39,040 within construction of units, is being offered by virtually all the builders nowadays, 805 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:45,340 but it is more importantly my understanding within your own building code now, a minimum 806 01:38:45,340 --> 01:38:48,860 level get you to these points as far as the e-level at the 807 01:38:48,860 --> 01:38:55,620 click class and that kind of thing. And the builders are providing the energy 808 01:38:55,620 --> 01:39:02,520 star appliances. I don't have that. We don't have each builder committed 809 01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:07,360 under contract, but we expect that each of them will have a building 810 01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:12,600 program that will include energy star or equivalent type efficiency of 811 01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:18,720 the HVAC and water units and water heaters and that kind of appliance treatment as well. 812 01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:25,530 And we do have a separate submission on the green building, something that was done with 813 01:39:25,530 --> 01:39:27,870 the special purpose safety as well, I think. 814 01:39:34,890 --> 01:39:36,350 Any other questions at this juncture? 815 01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:43,020 Okay. 816 01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:44,740 Is there a motion? 817 01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:56,120 That I'm sure like to move that we adopt the findings of staff and approve DSP-13006, a TCP 818 01:39:56,120 --> 01:40:09,440 1-029-12-0202 along with the associated conditions as outlined in applicant exhibit number 819 01:40:09,440 --> 01:40:12,960 1 subject to the following changes. 820 01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:22,740 First I'd like to ensure that we add the additional finding as proper by the applicant 821 01:40:22,740 --> 01:40:29,400 and formally read into the record, and it would be the second portion of the language, 822 01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:36,600 which was outlined in Condition 1H3 related to woodland conservation. 823 01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:44,440 The second change would be to Condition 1N. 824 01:40:44,440 --> 01:40:53,000 It shall condition one inch, shall be as outlined in applicant exhibit number one, however 825 01:40:53,000 --> 01:41:01,160 language should be added, which prohibits second-level decking on units 54, 55 and 56 826 01:41:01,160 --> 01:41:13,920 block G, condition number 5 shall read as follows, prior to issuance of the 350th building 827 01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:24,700 permit for any phase following this phase parent DSP 13006 closed parent.

Here is the Outback State Calcocation. There is also an Olive Garden that's been constructed, but there are no existing free standing fast food restaurants within this area. 927 01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:47,440 On April 25th of this year, the planning board moved to approve a McDonald's proposal located on the existing parking lot in front of there's a Home Depot in this location, just off this slide. 928 01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:56,720 That approval, back in April, the planning board could not find that that McDonald's proposal 929 01:49:56,720 --> 01:50:01,680 and in particular, it's drive through met the purposes of the TDOZ zone. 930 01:50:02,220 --> 01:50:05,780 The drive through service could not be found to promote the use of transit facilities 931 01:50:05,780 --> 01:50:11,000 or create a desirable or renewable relationship to enhance the character of the area. 932 01:50:11,860 --> 01:50:16,340 While the planning board did move to approve that McDonald's shown here, cost postpart, 933 01:50:16,340 --> 01:50:21,540 The approval didn't include a condition to eliminate the drive for your service from the proposal. 934 01:50:22,440 --> 01:50:25,680 A staff recommends that the planning board takes a similar position here today. 935 01:50:25,940 --> 01:50:37,740 The Chick-fil-A is even closer to the Metro than the McDonald's and staff continues to believe that the redevelopment of the Plaza should continue without auto-oriented uses. 936 01:50:37,740 --> 01:50:38,580 This 937 01:50:42,780 --> 01:50:47,520 slide shows illustrates the proposal for the Chick-fil-A. 938 01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:53,440 The 5,000 30-square building is, again, in that southwestern corner of that parking lot. 939 01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:59,580 Primary building entrances are proposed directly from the sidewalk along East West Highway. 940 01:50:59,940 --> 01:51:04,380 There's also a primary entrance from the existing parking lot along the north side of the building. 941 01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:13,320 This site plan shows this kind of red check here and also along the front, those shows specialty 942 01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:18,520 paving areas along the front and the side of the building, where outdoor seating and 943 01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:24,620 there's also a trellis that's proposed in this area. Additional details of these features 944 01:51:24,620 --> 01:51:31,340 should be included on the site plan prior to final approval. A double drive through lane is 945 01:51:31,340 --> 01:51:33,360 post on the east side of the building. 946 01:51:34,540 --> 01:51:37,200 With the single pickup window in this location, 947 01:51:39,610 --> 01:51:41,990 the double queuing lanes, they are directly 948 01:51:41,990 --> 01:51:46,690 adjacent to with considered a pedestrian zone along east to west highway. 949 01:51:47,150 --> 01:51:52,110 It's separated by that pedestrian zone by a low brick wall, it's generally in this location 950 01:51:52,110 --> 01:51:52,910 here. 951 01:51:53,290 --> 01:51:54,090 Showed in gray. 952 01:51:56,110 --> 01:52:01,250 While that low wall would continue to exist, there are some impacts such as vehicle exhaust 953 01:52:01,250 --> 01:52:01,830 and lighting. 954 01:52:01,830 --> 01:52:06,010 associated with the drive-through that would be likely if approved. 955 01:52:07,430 --> 01:52:11,790 Also, if the drive-through were eliminated, additional green area could be provided. 956 01:52:12,390 --> 01:52:19,110 Also, the building could be redesigned to incorporate screen walls for dumpsters and also loading, 957 01:52:19,550 --> 01:52:23,330 which is a building form that's more consistent with transit-oriented development. 958 01:52:23,770 --> 01:52:28,910 Currently, you have loading and dumpsters within that parking lot separated from the building. 959 01:52:28,910 --> 01:52:29,730 These 960 01:52:32,220 --> 01:52:37,620 next few slides should propose building elevations, which exhibit a more contemporary look for the Chick-fil-A. 961 01:52:38,260 --> 01:52:43,960 The top elevation here, that is the north side of the building that's facing the mall. 962 01:52:44,620 --> 01:52:48,100 And the bottom elevation is the south side facing east-west highway. 963 01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:53,660 This building will feature a series of flat roofs at various heights to create visual interest. 964 01:52:53,660 --> 01:52:59,400 beige colored brick will be used as the primary building material and steel and wood composite 965 01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:02,920 serve as accent materials on these building elevations 966 01:53:05,900 --> 01:53:08,480 Here are the side elevations 967 01:53:10,690 --> 01:53:15,010 This side here is particularly it shows that drive through elevation 968 01:53:21,580 --> 01:53:23,920 So just to point out a few things here 969 01:53:24,620 --> 01:53:30,400 That wood panel and the wood composite material you can see where that is generally proposed here 970 01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,760 That's also along the front facing east west highway 971 01:53:35,900 --> 01:53:40,900 staff has received a material sample with the proposed materials we do have it here today. 972 01:53:41,860 --> 01:53:44,320 I would like to see that material sample board. 973 01:53:45,900 --> 01:53:49,940 And staff does have a few concerns about the wood-like composite material. 974 01:53:50,580 --> 01:53:55,820 We're unsure whether the final product with these walls that material will achieve a 975 01:53:55,820 --> 01:54:00,920 appearance of quality and durability and staff recommends additional information regarding the 976 01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:03,060 final appearances of these wood wall features. 977 01:54:03,060 --> 01:54:08,920 The applicant also provided prospective images of a proposal. 978 01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:13,560 This is the view along East West Highway here. 979 01:54:14,340 --> 01:54:19,040 The staff report does recommend a few modifications to this particular elevation. 980 01:54:20,060 --> 01:54:27,420 Particularly the windows along this side of the elevation seem a bit small compared to the other elevations. 981 01:54:27,420 --> 01:54:37,300 And staff requested that some larger windows should be incorporated to give the building a bit more visual prominence 982 01:54:37,300 --> 01:54:40,260 that's warranted for that location along East As Highway. 983 01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:46,660 And this image here shows the drive through location. 984 01:54:47,620 --> 01:54:51,440 You can also see sort of the outdoor seating areas in this perspective image. 985 01:54:51,860 --> 01:54:58,760 Some of the window features incorporates incorporating green screens where you can have a blind climbing onto this screen 986 01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:00,780 you can see that, particularly in this slide. 987 01:55:03,140 --> 01:55:06,960 The next few slides are of the original architectural submittal. 988 01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:12,780 This proposed design is a bit different from Chick-fil-A standard architectural model, which 989 01:55:12,780 --> 01:55:14,460 many of us have seen throughout the county. 990 01:55:15,380 --> 01:55:24,340 It's a more traditional, a two-tone red brick building with tower features here and there, 991 01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:24,880 specifically. 992 01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:34,800 While staff supports the proposed design and front-of-view tier today, we do request some additional 993 01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:41,700 architectural detailing on the proposed model to provide a bit more visual interest while still 994 01:55:41,700 --> 01:55:45,700 maintaining and keeping with a different architectural style that's proposed. 995 01:55:46,400 --> 01:55:50,820 And overall, the staff does support the architecture, which is a less franchise image for Chick-fil-A. 996 01:55:50,820 --> 01:55:51,640 In 997 01:55:58,740 --> 01:56:03,360 closing, if approved with conditions, including a condition to remove the drive through service, 998 01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:09,100 proposal will meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance, previous approvals, and requirements 999 01:56:09,100 --> 01:56:13,240 for approving a site plan within the transit district overlays zone. 1000 01:56:13,660 --> 01:56:27,900 Staff would also like to note that the site plan, it does need the requirements of the 2010 1001 01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:35,420 that planning board, so with that, the Resign section recommends the planning board adopt the 1002 01:56:35,420 --> 01:56:42,820 findings, and if you're a detailed site plan, DSP 99044-07 that subject to two multi-part 1003 01:56:42,820 --> 01:56:48,600 conditions on pages 20 and 21 of the staff report, and staff would like to include one 1004 01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:54,840 correction of the condition into the record. On page 21, 1005 01:56:58,690 --> 01:57:01,250 condition 102 requests that the applicant 1006 01:57:01,250 --> 01:57:06,030 include some additional buyer retention measures in these stormwater management design. 1007 01:57:06,690 --> 01:57:14,250 And if you look at the last sentence in condition one, oh, on page 21, the word deficient 1008 01:57:14,250 --> 01:57:21,810 sole volume is used that was intended to be sufficient, sufficient, you like sufficient 1009 01:57:21,810 --> 01:57:23,750 soil volume, not sufficient. 1010 01:57:25,750 --> 01:57:25,850 Okay. 1011 01:57:26,210 --> 01:57:28,410 And with that, this concludes my presentation. 1012 01:57:28,590 --> 01:57:28,910 Thank you. 1013 01:57:31,250 --> 01:57:31,830 Okay. 1014 01:57:31,830 --> 01:57:35,110 Yeah, there are any questions in the field at this time. 1015 01:57:35,350 --> 01:57:36,350 Okay, Mr. Schof. 1016 01:57:36,910 --> 01:57:37,570 Thank you, Madam Chair. 1017 01:57:38,430 --> 01:57:43,890 This field just one question if the board doesn't recommend 1018 01:57:43,890 --> 01:57:47,930 to counsel that there's a drive through it. 1019 01:57:49,050 --> 01:57:53,150 Does there a possibility to shift the pad side a little bit 1020 01:57:53,150 --> 01:57:56,630 north and east to allow for greater outdoor seating 1021 01:57:58,590 --> 01:58:03,450 or maybe the applicant can also address whether this would be an interest to them. 1022 01:58:03,630 --> 01:58:09,350 But some possibility of that nature or even a walk-up window is opposed to a drive through. 1023 01:58:10,710 --> 01:58:12,830 I think the board could certainly recommend that. 1024 01:58:13,290 --> 01:58:17,630 And I'd be willing to help rewrite conditions if you want to go in that direction. 1025 01:58:18,690 --> 01:58:19,310 Thank you. 1026 01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:23,520 Other other questions in the skills of this time? 1027 01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:24,360 Okay, Ms. 1028 01:58:33,110 --> 01:58:33,630 Silas. 1029 01:58:36,910 --> 01:58:37,410 You need a minute? 1030 01:58:37,410 --> 01:58:39,610 You can take a 1031 01:58:50,620 --> 01:58:54,720 good morning for the record, Dan Lynch, with MacMay Hosi here on behalf of Chick-fil-A. 1032 01:58:56,700 --> 01:59:09,660 We are here, obviously, in support of staff's recommendation, approval of this detailed site plan, but you have some requests, revisions to the post-conditions that this appeals to the board. 1033 01:59:10,340 --> 01:59:14,540 But just a little bit of background, and this feels that you bring up the aerial photo. 1034 01:59:15,480 --> 01:59:16,220 Thank you. 1035 01:59:20,160 --> 01:59:26,400 Some of you may or may not be familiar with the development history of pre-stores' plaza at least since 2000. 1036 01:59:27,280 --> 01:59:34,760 I personally have been working on this site since, I think, the original Trans Edition development plan was adopted for pre-stores' plaza. 1037 01:59:35,760 --> 01:59:40,800 And the redevelopment on pre-stores' plaza has pretty much moved from east to west on the property. 1038 01:59:43,020 --> 01:59:48,320 It's feels cookie through some of the other restaurants, paths I had to have, but the real 1039 01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:53,080 history here started with the target that is in the far, that's correct, and this 1040 01:59:53,080 --> 01:59:54,080 feels it's now circling. 1041 01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:59,980 That was one of the first buildings or redevelopment that occurred under the TDP for print. 1042 02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:14,620 And as part of that, we also developed, in front of the target, a pedestrian class that that kind of tied the target, the shopping center, into the pedestrian crossing between Prince George's Plaza and the metro station. 1043 02:00:15,300 --> 02:00:22,100 After that, we proceeded further west on the site and at the Outback State Council. 1044 02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:27,840 And as part of that outback proposal, and as well as a pedestrian class, the whole screen 1045 02:00:27,840 --> 02:00:32,120 wall along the entire Prince George's Plaza frontage was developed, and that was developed 1046 02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:36,400 in phase that says this was continued to move west on the site. 1047 02:00:37,740 --> 02:00:42,980 After the outback was developed, and we moved to the other side of the main entrance, and 1048 02:00:42,980 --> 02:00:48,820 came up with the olive garden, and that was the last major development on Prince George's 1049 02:00:48,820 --> 02:00:53,380 as a site in the probative past five to six years. 1050 02:00:54,780 --> 02:00:57,840 My client originally thought it's application 1051 02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:02,020 for the Chick-fil-A back in August of 2012. 1052 02:01:03,440 --> 02:01:06,580 And since that time, I think we've been working with staff 1053 02:01:06,580 --> 02:01:10,540 to address some of the concerns that been raised by Ms. Fields today. 1054 02:01:12,120 --> 02:01:14,200 What we have, what you have before you in turn 1055 02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:16,040 to the site plan and the architecture 1056 02:01:16,040 --> 02:01:22,840 There is a direct result of the conversations we've had with staff and their concerns raised 1057 02:01:22,840 --> 02:01:28,780 in terms of introducing issues and associated drive through to the principles of the site. 1058 02:01:30,600 --> 02:01:37,260 For example, when we met with staff at SDRC on this, one of the concerns raised by them 1059 02:01:37,260 --> 02:01:43,240 was that we didn't have a sufficient direct access to the property from East West Highway. 1060 02:01:43,240 --> 02:01:51,260 The host will see now that there is a entranceway on East West Highway, as well as special brick paving 1061 02:01:51,260 --> 02:01:58,200 pavers tying this used directly into the pedestrian walkway along East West Highway. 1062 02:01:59,160 --> 02:02:06,580 They also were concerned about the fact that our original drive through a Q&A area wrapped around the building 1063 02:02:06,580 --> 02:02:10,400 as opposed to being located to the east of the building. 1064 02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:15,260 They felt that that killing area kind of cut off the pedestrian acts to the site. 1065 02:02:15,520 --> 02:02:25,840 So again, that based upon some of the staff's suggestions, we came up with what you'd see is this kind of creative location and layout of the killing and the drive through window. 1066 02:02:26,760 --> 02:02:36,400 The final thing that we kind of introduced this and it was in conjunction with the staff's recommendation was, you know, this is supposed to be a very pedestrian oriented area. 1067 02:02:36,400 --> 02:02:47,380 And so what we did is that we introduced the outdoor eating area that you'll see located there in the north west corner of the site. 1068 02:02:47,600 --> 02:02:57,100 We located it there just kind of set it back a little bit from East West Highway, but we thought that was probably the most appropriate location for that. 1069 02:02:57,100 --> 02:03:10,320 So again, we're trying to make the site a little more vibrant and kind of like make a little more lively and kind of draw it into what's going on in the rest of the transit-ish peer-printures as well as that. 1070 02:03:10,680 --> 02:03:20,780 Now, while all that was going on and again, we're trying to do something a little different here, we also started exploring revisions to the architecture. 1071 02:03:20,780 --> 02:03:31,240 As part of the original approval, we were submitting the standard Chick-fil-A architecture that you'll see down in brandy wine, 1072 02:03:31,520 --> 02:03:36,020 that you'll see at this regard, and that you'll also see at Bowie and District Heights. 1073 02:03:36,640 --> 02:03:45,100 It was your standard Chick-fil-A prototype pretty much which you'll see in this county as well as all the other jurisdictions surrounding to this Columbia. 1074 02:03:45,840 --> 02:03:49,720 We tried to do something a little more different, a little more special with the architecture 1075 02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:56,240 to kind of get away from that corporate image, and we came up with this design that we're 1076 02:03:56,240 --> 02:03:57,740 present to you here today. 1077 02:03:59,940 --> 02:04:05,360 And we feel that it really is kind of like the trajectory that Chick-la is going to be heading 1078 02:04:05,360 --> 02:04:06,040 in the future. 1079 02:04:06,860 --> 02:04:10,000 We're probably going to start using this on other sites. 1080 02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:14,340 There are also exploring using this on the sites of Virginia because they're very, very happy 1081 02:04:14,340 --> 02:04:17,120 about the direction that the architecture on this site came along. 1082 02:04:18,140 --> 02:04:21,540 A lot of the design here that you have before you 1083 02:04:21,540 --> 02:04:23,780 is kind of like, as I've been explained, 1084 02:04:24,020 --> 02:04:25,380 where it's explained to you on the architect 1085 02:04:25,380 --> 02:04:30,280 and by my client, is that Chick-Colay kind of considers itself 1086 02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:32,860 to be one of the premier fast food restaurants. 1087 02:04:33,500 --> 02:04:35,880 And then one of you have ever visited one of the restaurants 1088 02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:38,420 will know that, for instance, it's not supposed to be 1089 02:04:38,420 --> 02:04:41,680 table service, but if you're in a table waiting for your food, 1090 02:04:41,840 --> 02:04:42,800 they'll be brought to you. 1091 02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:45,080 They're also clean up the food after the leak. 1092 02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:47,640 Services, what Chick-fil-A is all about. 1093 02:04:47,740 --> 02:04:49,480 And you also considered the quality of food 1094 02:04:49,480 --> 02:04:50,620 to be very, very special. 1095 02:04:51,500 --> 02:04:53,880 So with that in mind, they decided that it was time 1096 02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:57,520 to change the architecture to make it look less like a fast 1097 02:04:57,520 --> 02:04:58,140 with restaurant. 1098 02:04:58,880 --> 02:05:02,820 You kind of bring it to a step between a fast food restaurant 1099 02:05:02,820 --> 02:05:04,540 and irregular sit-on restaurant. 1100 02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:06,600 And that's the direction they tried to head 1101 02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:07,380 with the architecture. 1102 02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:10,920 And it really kind of is displayed 1103 02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:12,840 in the materials being used. 1104 02:05:13,480 --> 02:05:18,120 As pointed up on this field, there's really kind of like four primal materials being used 1105 02:05:18,120 --> 02:05:19,260 in the architecture here. 1106 02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:23,880 You have your brick, steel, the wood, and the glass. 1107 02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:28,680 And they've all been tied together to kind of really make this building stand out. 1108 02:05:29,580 --> 02:05:35,080 The design itself, as opposed to what you see in the old Chick-fil-A, and you see a lot of the 1109 02:05:35,080 --> 02:05:40,160 competitors, they look at these tower elements in their design where they put their logo. 1110 02:05:40,920 --> 02:05:42,920 we've got away from that in this design, 1111 02:05:43,420 --> 02:05:45,920 we're basically using height and depth to create 1112 02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:47,960 a little bit more visual interest. 1113 02:05:48,760 --> 02:05:51,780 Also, again, going back to the quality materials being used. 1114 02:05:52,620 --> 02:05:54,620 And also, the color of the building material, 1115 02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:57,300 a little more subtle than the red brick. 1116 02:05:57,680 --> 02:06:00,200 I'm using that subtle color in the building 1117 02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:04,120 that we're able to let the Chick-fil-A signs stand out 1118 02:06:04,120 --> 02:06:05,520 without being overwhelming. 1119 02:06:06,660 --> 02:06:10,180 The use of fringes is the black in the steel 1120 02:06:10,180 --> 02:06:15,040 in the Brown and the Woods kind of helps distinguish elements of the building here. 1121 02:06:15,820 --> 02:06:19,140 So they really think that this is a very high quality building. 1122 02:06:19,580 --> 02:06:26,080 They kind of reflect what they consider about the food that they serve as part of the population. 1123 02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:30,780 Quality food, quality design, and that's really what comes out in this Chick-fil-A. 1124 02:06:31,100 --> 02:06:36,380 I think if you go across the country, you'll not see another Chick-fil-A that even matches what you have here today. 1125 02:06:36,380 --> 02:06:42,320 And they understand, I mean, this is a very important quarter for Princeton, which is 1126 02:06:42,320 --> 02:06:45,040 counting for the transit district, and it's safe to come up with something that I was 1127 02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:46,980 really going to stand out and make this very, very special. 1128 02:06:47,540 --> 02:06:49,020 And you'll see that to this design. 1129 02:06:49,480 --> 02:06:54,120 I mean, even though the outdoor seating area, you'll see that the Pagola still Pagola around 1130 02:06:54,120 --> 02:06:56,940 the outdoor seating area, and I make it very, very attractive. 1131 02:06:57,640 --> 02:07:02,120 You'll see that carry through, and can you pull up more of the perspective that we're providing 1132 02:07:03,060 --> 02:07:04,360 to the next one? 1133 02:07:04,900 --> 02:07:05,320 That one. 1134 02:07:07,060 --> 02:07:09,320 This is already in the record right here. 1135 02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:12,660 Yes, that material water is in the chemical case file. 1136 02:07:13,100 --> 02:07:13,460 That's correct. 1137 02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:14,160 You submitted that. 1138 02:07:15,260 --> 02:07:15,820 One question. 1139 02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:17,880 What's your reference to the wood type material? 1140 02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:19,180 You're talking about the composite? 1141 02:07:20,400 --> 02:07:21,180 It's recycled. 1142 02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:22,220 That's right. 1143 02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:24,720 It's recycled by plastic bamboo. 1144 02:07:25,300 --> 02:07:25,540 No, no, no. 1145 02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:26,460 It's actual wood. 1146 02:07:26,540 --> 02:07:27,260 It's just recycled. 1147 02:07:27,860 --> 02:07:30,320 But when you said we were using that in the design. 1148 02:07:31,460 --> 02:07:32,720 So it's recycled wood. 1149 02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:33,700 That's correct, yes. 1150 02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:38,680 also it goes also towards this kind of the least certification which 1151 02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:43,160 was recommended that's fine. So this kind of like a positive chair but it is 1152 02:07:43,160 --> 02:07:48,460 made of wood. Strictly wood no no no no no recyclable plastic. 1153 02:07:54,620 --> 02:07:58,120 Hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up. 1154 02:07:58,180 --> 02:08:02,140 As indicated it is there's a resin the hole to material together but other than 1155 02:08:02,140 --> 02:08:06,040 a resin it is wood that's fine. And that's just so you understand I had no problem 1156 02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:09,140 answering. We just want to make sure it's since it's been recorded that it's on the map. 1157 02:08:09,820 --> 02:08:10,700 It's okay. 1158 02:08:10,760 --> 02:08:10,780 Okay. 1159 02:08:11,060 --> 02:08:11,340 Okay.

That's right, one, C, one. 1207 02:11:30,040 --> 02:11:32,620 It's now one A. 1208 02:11:33,320 --> 02:11:35,540 Oh, well, depends on what you use. 1209 02:11:35,780 --> 02:11:36,720 No letters in the new letters. 1210 02:11:36,960 --> 02:11:40,240 So you're, it's actually one is the original condition. 1211 02:11:41,100 --> 02:11:41,340 Okay. 1212 02:11:42,020 --> 02:11:42,560 Okay. Okay. 1213 02:11:42,560 --> 02:11:43,920 One to the back of the house building. 1214 02:11:44,160 --> 02:11:44,600 That's correct. 1215 02:11:44,700 --> 02:11:49,040 Revised to stop building elevation from east west highway to improve the appearance by enlarging 1216 02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:52,040 the window and reducing the space in between each window. 1217 02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:54,200 As explained from this field, 1218 02:11:54,200 --> 02:12:01,640 that area of the building contains storage, it contains our freezer, it's really an area 1219 02:12:01,640 --> 02:12:08,300 that we don't have any leeway from an interior standpoint to change. The size of those windows 1220 02:12:08,300 --> 02:12:14,600 make the larger. If we do the window end up in the middle of a wall or then to pierce our freezer space, 1221 02:12:14,800 --> 02:12:21,380 that is really the storage area for the building. Now the alternative would be to put in some type 1222 02:12:21,380 --> 02:12:27,360 of a window. But again, we believe that if the track from the overall architectural appearance 1223 02:12:27,360 --> 02:12:32,040 of this building, that's one of the reasons why you'll see that in lieu of increasing 1224 02:12:32,040 --> 02:12:37,200 size of the window, we place those green screens below each window, the kind of add more 1225 02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:42,520 natural feature to the building. So again, we aren't able from an interior standpoint that 1226 02:12:42,520 --> 02:12:48,000 is really guiding the location and the size of those windows, so we are able to increase 1227 02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:52,420 those windows in terms of putting a real window at that location, and I believe Miss Fields 1228 02:12:52,420 --> 02:12:56,580 based upon her review of the entire layout agrees that change. 1229 02:12:58,890 --> 02:12:59,450 That's correct. 1230 02:13:00,850 --> 02:13:07,330 We're not going to go through each one since, okay, I mean just we're not going to go back 1231 02:13:07,330 --> 02:13:11,370 up with responses unless and until we get to the one that's at a problem. 1232 02:13:11,610 --> 02:13:17,350 Yeah, so if I can just say our discussion was, we agreed that we understand that there's 1233 02:13:18,290 --> 02:13:20,610 technical and practical difficulties with changing the 1234 02:13:20,610 --> 02:13:21,870 administration on the side of the building. 1235 02:13:22,530 --> 02:13:24,650 What the applicant is agreeing to is a modified 1236 02:13:24,930 --> 02:13:30,550 condition C3, which states that they will provide additional 1237 02:13:30,550 --> 02:13:35,050 birth detailing and articulation through modification of the 1238 02:13:35,050 --> 02:13:38,250 brick patterns, colors and architectural treatments to provide 1239 02:13:38,250 --> 02:13:42,030 visual interest along all elevations with specific emphasis on 1240 02:13:42,030 --> 02:13:44,410 the south elevation facing east west high west. 1241 02:13:44,410 --> 02:13:47,090 They believe that we will find some other solutions that will 1242 02:13:47,090 --> 02:13:51,890 make this elevation as effective as possible without changing the window locations. 1243 02:13:52,550 --> 02:13:57,530 So we're satisfied with the modifications to condition, existing condition once seen. 1244 02:13:58,130 --> 02:14:03,930 We believe that that change too, that she just spoke to does it for us to consider and frame us that. 1245 02:14:13,330 --> 02:14:17,550 And then we skip down to what was formally one, 1246 02:14:18,350 --> 02:14:21,610 which starts with storm on a management features 1247 02:14:23,820 --> 02:14:26,960 and P because those that will go hand in hand. 1248 02:14:30,960 --> 02:14:40,840 The TDP for Pinsure is a plaza that calls for a possible use of some type of alternate storm management facilities such as biotension. 1249 02:14:42,260 --> 02:14:48,680 However, one of the problems that we have on this site is that given the significant patch of soils, 1250 02:14:48,680 --> 02:14:59,040 It's really not going to do something about a bi-retention on the site, in addition, the bi-retention, if we did implement it on the site. 1251 02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:08,900 A lot of silts, you see, a lot of other debris, such as garbage, they are coming through the storm management systems. 1252 02:15:09,800 --> 02:15:20,580 And we believe that a biorecension facility would be completely overwhelmed, based upon the fact that most of the plaza parking lot is not subject to storm management. 1253 02:15:21,140 --> 02:15:24,140 So what we're doing out there, things are going to be overwhelmed. 1254 02:15:24,140 --> 02:15:28,300 Well, could possibly be overwhelmed with the amount of self-antrashed. 1255 02:15:28,760 --> 02:15:31,200 So we think that we'd much better under these circumstances 1256 02:15:31,200 --> 02:15:44,830 to utilize a facility that that we're proposing is a proof 1257 02:15:44,830 --> 02:15:47,090 of this part of our stormwater concept plan. 1258 02:15:48,030 --> 02:15:52,230 We're right now are looking at doing a storm filter system 1259 02:15:52,230 --> 02:16:00,230 And that storm-fist filter system as proposed will exceed the county requirements by 8.5%. 1260 02:16:00,770 --> 02:16:08,350 So we're going to be doing much of our out there that is even required by the county, as opposed to what would be accomplished on a bi-retention system. 1261 02:16:09,370 --> 02:16:13,270 So we have actually included on the final page to serve our changes here. 1262 02:16:13,450 --> 02:16:19,390 You'll see the second page, a men-advining to address this issue with regard to storm water. 1263 02:16:19,390 --> 02:16:24,330 And again, I think given a fact that we're really trying to protect the environment out there 1264 02:16:24,330 --> 02:16:28,670 if we're looking at what you're going to accomplish with buyer retention as opposed to stormwater 1265 02:16:28,670 --> 02:16:29,230 filter. 1266 02:16:29,350 --> 02:16:33,170 I think the filter is going to accomplish much more for the overall transit district. 1267 02:16:34,010 --> 02:16:34,330 Okay. 1268 02:16:37,240 --> 02:16:39,740 Thank you. 1269 02:16:40,060 --> 02:16:40,380 I'm sorry. 1270 02:16:40,860 --> 02:16:40,960 Commissioner. 1271 02:16:42,180 --> 02:16:49,560 I just want to question on the how does this then capture the planning islands that are demonstrated 1272 02:16:49,560 --> 02:16:50,260 on this slide? 1273 02:16:50,500 --> 02:16:51,580 Is that included elsewhere? 1274 02:16:52,600 --> 02:17:06,520 Part of me. I'm sorry. In the middle of the O paragraph, it's been struck through it also speaks to interior planning islands from the surface light. 1275 02:17:07,020 --> 02:17:10,640 And I think they're on the slide that we're also looking at are those captured elsewhere. 1276 02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:13,680 Those also proposed to be deleted. 1277 02:17:14,380 --> 02:17:19,700 Well, we are showing what is proposed in terms of interior violence on the site, we're not 1278 02:17:19,700 --> 02:17:23,380 proposing to add any additional interference as part of our stormwater concept approval. 1279 02:17:24,440 --> 02:17:31,760 So what is shown here complies with the landscape manual as well as our stormwater management requirements. 1280 02:17:33,180 --> 02:17:37,180 So any other plenty of violence, I think we would have come about if we are doing some type of fire retention. 1281 02:17:37,180 --> 02:17:38,300 Okay 1282 02:17:44,090 --> 02:17:51,430 finally then we'll get to the issue with regard to the drive-throw and again this really impacts 1283 02:17:51,430 --> 02:17:59,670 this gross two-conditioned formal condition 1A, B, and J, of the staff's recommended conditions. 1284 02:18:00,670 --> 02:18:02,450 1A, B, and J, and that's correct. 1285 02:18:05,140 --> 02:18:14,940 The revised conditions as shown to you request that A, 1A, B, the B, the lead it and then we have a substitute condition for J which now becomes 1286 02:18:14,940 --> 02:18:16,920 position H. 1287 02:18:22,780 --> 02:18:27,940 Now the first thing I'd like to note for the board is in this board, back in April, 1288 02:18:28,660 --> 02:18:35,260 occurred the case similar request for McDonald's, the located just on street from here and 1289 02:18:35,260 --> 02:18:42,620 Home Depot parking lot. This board recommended approval of that detailed site plan, suffix 1290 02:18:42,620 --> 02:18:47,700 who condition that the drive-through component be removed. 1291 02:18:49,300 --> 02:18:58,100 Since that time, the McDonald's decision was appeal to the district council, and on Monday, 1292 02:18:58,540 --> 02:19:03,380 the district council, as an order, approving McDonald's with the driver. 1293 02:19:05,740 --> 02:19:12,180 It based its determination on pretty much what we're doing here today, and that is 1294 02:19:12,180 --> 02:19:18,760 It looked at the very creative site design proposed for that site, and if you remember, they 1295 02:19:18,760 --> 02:19:23,540 located their drive-through behind the building, and the use was significantly screened 1296 02:19:23,540 --> 02:19:27,560 from east west highway by a wall along the best-screen way. 1297 02:19:27,920 --> 02:19:35,700 It dials also on that site proposed, not or evening area, again, to bring the site into the 1298 02:19:35,700 --> 02:19:38,220 best-screen area and you can kind of make it interact with that. 1299 02:19:38,220 --> 02:19:45,320 So when the district council adopted its order, that finding was added, and I think that finding 1300 02:19:45,320 --> 02:19:50,060 is very pertinent to what is being proposed here today, as part of the Chick-fil-A. 1301 02:19:52,620 --> 02:20:00,100 What we are proposing here is the Chick-fil-A located on East West Highway in an existing 1302 02:20:00,840 --> 02:20:02,860 shopping center parking lot. 1303 02:20:02,860 --> 02:20:07,260 So, each was highway dislocation, as you know, six lanes with. 1304 02:20:08,780 --> 02:20:12,080 A lot of cars driving back on each was highway. 1305 02:20:12,880 --> 02:20:17,760 At the same time, you have a location that is within close proximity to the metro. 1306 02:20:18,960 --> 02:20:20,000 So, what do you then have? 1307 02:20:20,120 --> 02:20:25,500 You have both the vehicular traffic and you have the deshring traffic. 1308 02:20:26,020 --> 02:20:27,400 And you're trying to balance those. 1309 02:20:27,840 --> 02:20:31,660 And what's being proposed here by Chick-fil-A clearly balances those. 1310 02:20:31,660 --> 02:20:37,640 to, I wouldn't say conflicting, but two things going on in this property. 1311 02:20:37,840 --> 02:20:42,340 But that's really big, and that's why we came up with this site design. 1312 02:20:43,020 --> 02:20:49,500 A site design that, again, brings this product building all the way up to the pedestrian way, 1313 02:20:49,960 --> 02:20:55,920 creates a connection between the sidewalk along East West Highway and the interest of this building. 1314 02:20:58,040 --> 02:21:04,360 screens the drive-to-component with that existing wall located along the entire 1315 02:21:04,360 --> 02:21:13,110 printer's just glass of front-inch and basically creates a very nice outdoor space 1316 02:21:13,670 --> 02:21:19,410 that kind of like brings that pedestrian traffic into the site and makes it that much 1317 02:21:19,410 --> 02:21:25,970 more vital. So again there's a careful balance that the district council 1318 02:21:25,970 --> 02:21:30,570 a way, wind it up with the drive through a sociable McDonald's. 1319 02:21:30,970 --> 02:21:34,270 And it basically found that, based upon site design, 1320 02:21:34,270 --> 02:21:36,210 based upon its creative design techniques, 1321 02:21:36,670 --> 02:21:39,090 that there was a balance that could be met 1322 02:21:39,090 --> 02:21:42,690 without impacting the underlying nature of the transit district. 1323 02:21:44,330 --> 02:21:46,670 And one thing I think is very, very interesting is that 1324 02:21:46,670 --> 02:21:50,030 if your own community planning division also made this finding, 1325 02:21:51,330 --> 02:21:56,510 And, unfortunately, this memo that I make it into your backup package, 1326 02:21:58,530 --> 02:21:59,070 I'd ask that this 1327 02:21:59,070 --> 02:22:01,950 remark, this app does exhibit too. 1328 02:22:03,030 --> 02:22:09,070 The community planning division, back in February, looked at this site. 1329 02:22:11,750 --> 02:22:17,370 And there were one of the group that sat down with us and asked us to make some significant changes 1330 02:22:17,370 --> 02:22:23,350 with regards to moving and building up, creating that connection, outdoor space, it basically 1331 02:22:23,350 --> 02:22:33,790 helped us come up with the redesign of the drive-thru. And after we revised the layout, they 1332 02:22:33,790 --> 02:22:38,270 should amend my land and they'd have February 13. Again, this is not in your back of materials, 1333 02:22:38,610 --> 02:22:43,810 so I just want to make sure you did see this. They should amend my land, they'd have February 1334 02:22:43,810 --> 02:22:46,770 of 13th, where they can basically conclude it, 1335 02:22:46,850 --> 02:22:50,250 and you'll see here on page 3, and it's the one 1336 02:22:50,250 --> 02:22:52,250 to the third full paragraph down. 1337 02:22:57,410 --> 02:23:00,110 Based state, and I believe this is third sentence, 1338 02:23:00,990 --> 02:23:02,770 the proposed design of the restaurant 1339 02:23:02,770 --> 02:23:05,570 and associated parking and drive-through areas, 1340 02:23:06,270 --> 02:23:08,590 provide for pedestrian access and places 1341 02:23:08,590 --> 02:23:11,750 of building close to the street, reinforcing 1342 02:23:11,750 --> 02:23:15,390 and pedestrian oriented character that balances 1343 02:23:15,390 --> 02:23:18,250 that the particular oriented nature of the drive through use. 1344 02:23:19,350 --> 02:23:22,770 If the development plan is amended to permit the proposed use, 1345 02:23:23,290 --> 02:23:28,130 there should be a few negative impacts to the envisioned development pattern. 1346 02:23:30,990 --> 02:23:35,810 They go on the states that the transition development plan emphasizes the important 1347 02:23:35,810 --> 02:23:40,910 of pedestrian access and circulation and identifies the public rights away as 1348 02:23:40,910 --> 02:23:44,050 the location of primary and pedestrian system and forces of pedestrian 1349 02:23:44,050 --> 02:23:46,750 and choosing focus of pedestrian activity. 1350 02:23:47,750 --> 02:23:50,630 The proposed application informs the land use recommendations 1351 02:23:50,630 --> 02:23:53,150 for commercial retail uses and incorporates 1352 02:23:53,150 --> 02:23:55,690 an innovative drive-through configuration 1353 02:23:55,690 --> 02:23:59,430 that deserves the pedestrian primary pedestrian network 1354 02:23:59,430 --> 02:24:01,170 along East West Highland. 1355 02:24:02,370 --> 02:24:04,710 This is from your own community planning stuff. 1356 02:24:05,110 --> 02:24:07,670 So I have a question before we set the center. 1357 02:24:07,890 --> 02:24:09,910 So how come this didn't make it to our back? 1358 02:24:11,070 --> 02:24:13,650 It was a surprise to me when I discovered this yesterday. 1359 02:24:15,370 --> 02:24:18,050 But I brought it to this field of attention this morning. 1360 02:24:18,610 --> 02:24:25,530 They submitted a revised memorandum within the last, I think, two months. 1361 02:24:27,430 --> 02:24:28,890 They submitted a community planning. 1362 02:24:31,350 --> 02:24:35,690 In that revised recommendation, it took a different position with regard to this. 1363 02:24:36,170 --> 02:24:38,570 So they no longer supported what we're doing. 1364 02:24:39,090 --> 02:24:39,450 That's right. 1365 02:24:39,690 --> 02:24:40,350 That's right. 1366 02:24:40,350 --> 02:24:45,550 So, the only reason why community planning was what happened in this, let me explain. 1367 02:24:46,950 --> 02:24:54,850 The application was re-referred to community planning to look at the architecture, the revised architecture of the building. 1368 02:24:55,570 --> 02:25:01,610 So, then when it came back, I was a little bit surprised to see that they had changed their position. 1369 02:25:02,290 --> 02:25:05,070 Since you only think they're looking at was the architecture. 1370 02:25:05,890 --> 02:25:10,930 They like the architecture, but now for some reason, they don't like what we're doing 1371 02:25:10,930 --> 02:25:12,470 on it with the use. 1372 02:25:13,310 --> 02:25:18,010 So we had basically a change from, I wouldn't say 100 cents a quarter, but again, they 1373 02:25:18,010 --> 02:25:24,270 need some very, very strong statements, supporting the application to that complete, that 1374 02:25:24,270 --> 02:25:28,470 first paragraph that it read to you was cut down by three sentences, everything positive 1375 02:25:28,470 --> 02:25:32,070 stated in that section of the memorandum was deleted. 1376 02:25:33,210 --> 02:25:39,970 So, I'm not quite sure, from a community to planning standpoint, how you can change your 1377 02:25:40,370 --> 02:25:45,610 recommendation, especially given the fact that the underlying nature of the use has not 1378 02:25:45,610 --> 02:25:46,050 changed. 1379 02:25:47,070 --> 02:25:50,030 And the only thing they should have been looking at is that time, as far as I was aware, with 1380 02:25:50,030 --> 02:25:50,490 the architecture. 1381 02:25:51,630 --> 02:25:54,850 So, that's why I brought this man ran into the boards attention because I thought it's 1382 02:25:54,850 --> 02:26:03,930 very, very important that they see that the chat volumes back in February of this year felt 1383 02:26:03,930 --> 02:26:09,530 that there would be a few negative impacts to do vision development pattern. 1384 02:26:10,710 --> 02:26:17,530 Okay. The February 13th, 2013, memo from chat volumes through Cynthia, Appent and Jamaica 1385 02:26:17,530 --> 02:26:22,450 field has been marked as applicants exhibit number two and we'll accept it into the 1386 02:26:22,450 --> 02:26:22,710 reference. 1387 02:26:23,050 --> 02:26:23,450 I don't know about it. 1388 02:26:24,470 --> 02:26:24,650 Okay. 1389 02:26:27,230 --> 02:26:27,670 Questions? 1390 02:26:29,730 --> 02:26:29,930 Okay. 1391 02:26:30,550 --> 02:26:34,950 And with that, I'd like to say that I think there's very strong state in here from 1392 02:26:34,950 --> 02:26:35,770 community planning. 1393 02:26:36,490 --> 02:26:48,070 And I believe that this should count so in action on money of this week with regard to a 1394 02:26:48,070 --> 02:26:55,810 site, you know, with similar elements, you know, with similar efforts made with regard to 1395 02:26:55,810 --> 02:27:03,490 create a site design, really kind of sets a standard as to what, how you can balance 1396 02:27:04,330 --> 02:27:14,250 the vehicular nature of this use with the pedestrian oriented nature of the transit 1397 02:27:14,250 --> 02:27:20,850 those details slide plan with the amendments the conditions contained in applicants exhibit 1398 02:27:20,850 --> 02:27:21,490 one. 1399 02:27:21,970 --> 02:27:22,090 Thank you. 1400 02:27:22,250 --> 02:27:24,410 And I have to answer any questions you have. 1401 02:27:27,020 --> 02:27:27,310 Commissioner. 1402 02:27:28,590 --> 02:27:29,310 Thank you. 1403 02:27:29,670 --> 02:27:32,050 Just sorry to come back to this. 1404 02:27:32,310 --> 02:27:34,110 I wanted to check this staff on. 1405 02:27:34,210 --> 02:27:38,690 I think it was one of the figures of clarification originally on some of that text. 1406 02:27:39,250 --> 02:27:41,270 This goes back to the tree plan. 1407 02:27:41,270 --> 02:27:41,450 things. 1408 02:27:44,050 --> 02:27:47,010 So I guess, Ms. Fielder, are you comfortable with that? 1409 02:27:47,010 --> 02:27:51,770 Deletion, I looked at it again and I'm wondering if the second sentence might be retained 1410 02:27:51,770 --> 02:27:57,250 with that change from deficient to sufficient, as you originally suggested. Of course, I'll 1411 02:27:57,250 --> 02:27:59,750 also welcome the applicant's opinion. 1412 02:28:04,080 --> 02:28:11,840 I think that the finding that's been provided that we did discuss this also with our environmental 1413 02:28:11,840 --> 02:28:18,480 planning section about the appropriateness of by-retention in some areas and why some areas 1414 02:28:18,480 --> 02:28:27,060 other techniques are encouraged. I think the applicant's justification regarding particularly 1415 02:28:27,060 --> 02:28:33,160 maintenance of by-retention features versus what they're currently proposing. I think that's 1416 02:28:33,160 --> 02:28:40,100 likely accurate that they're their current proposal, which I believe it's an 1417 02:28:40,100 --> 02:28:50,200 a storm filter system, that will adequately manage the storm water without adding by 1418 02:28:50,200 --> 02:28:56,020 retention, which could become a potentially a musician's or maintenance issue. The condition 1419 02:28:56,020 --> 02:29:03,040 1-0 wasn't requesting additional planting islands. It was requesting a modification to their 1420 02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:08,260 design so that those islands could catch or also catch or swim water. 1421 02:29:10,140 --> 02:29:14,700 But the islands are to be retained, they're showing here on the plan. 1422 02:29:15,020 --> 02:29:20,180 They won't be designed to catch or swim water, as applicants indicate that would be likely 1423 02:29:20,180 --> 02:29:22,640 collect trash and block the system. 1424 02:29:22,880 --> 02:29:27,080 And that what they are proposing does exceed, not just need, we were concerned about that, 1425 02:29:27,160 --> 02:29:28,360 it does exceed county requirement. 1426 02:29:28,360 --> 02:29:33,700 But so we think that that additional funding made us so comfortable. 1427 02:29:34,600 --> 02:29:34,820 Okay. 1428 02:29:36,360 --> 02:29:38,700 In terms of yourself, I also will state that we did look. 1429 02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:41,300 It's essentially using permeable papers on the site. 1430 02:29:41,680 --> 02:29:46,060 And again, the soils out here are just so compact that it's just to make any sense. 1431 02:29:46,680 --> 02:29:48,120 So I mean, I fully understand. 1432 02:29:48,260 --> 02:29:51,500 I mean, I was involved with the development of post park. 1433 02:29:51,960 --> 02:29:56,940 And one of the problems on that property was that everything drains through that property 1434 02:29:56,940 --> 02:29:59,980 into the creek, and my client, post-prime. 1435 02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:07,420 We spent the significant amount of money upgrading that strain. And I think everything that we do 1436 02:30:07,420 --> 02:30:12,740 after it is just going to help benefit that. And if we can provide better storm management control, 1437 02:30:13,040 --> 02:30:16,600 then we realize there are a lot of retention. I think that's what I got. 1438 02:30:20,400 --> 02:30:25,380 Does anyone else have any questions or miscellaneous at this time? Mr. Chandler. 1439 02:30:45,710 --> 02:30:50,390 Thank you.

Tell us again, please because I don't know what the district council did on the other case 1471 02:34:01,420 --> 02:34:08,180 You said that on Monday they issued an order. That's correct. So a written order of the moving that you've seen. 1472 02:34:08,260 --> 02:34:13,120 Yes, okay. I have that you have that you're going to submit it to the record. 1473 02:34:17,680 --> 02:34:20,960 Okay, I decided to just point the won't be signs of tomorrow. Okay, 1474 02:34:23,630 --> 02:34:26,730 so they approved it and it's just that sign and 1475 02:34:27,770 --> 02:34:30,090 Can you give it to our council for a second 1476 02:34:30,730 --> 02:34:33,050 So she can take a look at that, 1477 02:34:40,180 --> 02:34:46,740 and then a Mr. Maktari, when I'm going to take two minutes 1478 02:34:46,740 --> 02:34:51,340 to give a couple of minutes to take counsel and opportunity to read this. 1479 02:34:51,340 --> 02:34:56,120 As a matter of fact, let's take a quick two, two, three minute break, two to five minute 1480 02:34:56,120 --> 02:34:56,860 break actually. 1481 02:34:57,280 --> 02:35:00,080 And then Mr. Maktari, you can get to say what it is you want to say. 1482 02:35:01,140 --> 02:35:01,940 Thank you. 1483 02:35:51,920 --> 02:35:54,180 I have to go to Don't Sheet. 1484 02:36:05,920 --> 02:36:09,580 The plan of board's back in session, I think. 1485 02:36:11,180 --> 02:36:11,460 Okay. 1486 02:36:13,820 --> 02:36:16,080 Then the lighting is ready though. 1487 02:36:20,230 --> 02:36:23,030 And we had some questions, and my question 1488 02:36:23,710 --> 02:36:24,990 before the break. 1489 02:36:25,370 --> 02:36:28,750 My question was to Mr. Lenshewant the District Council order. 1490 02:36:30,930 --> 02:36:34,590 And I'm Ms. Borden, can you address that this becomes the order? 1491 02:36:34,930 --> 02:36:35,090 Thank you. 1492 02:36:35,570 --> 02:36:36,470 I believe I can. 1493 02:36:36,890 --> 02:36:38,910 Deborah Borden, Associate General Counsel. 1494 02:36:40,450 --> 02:36:46,010 I was handed a an unsigned, what looks like a draft order, a affirming planning 1495 02:36:46,010 --> 02:36:53,090 board decision in the McDonald's Heightsville case, DSP 9900601. 1496 02:36:53,790 --> 02:36:57,290 The document I was handed is not signed, it's not dated. 1497 02:36:58,150 --> 02:37:05,150 And, therefore, I'm assuming it's a draft, we don't know if this is the order that will be signed. 1498 02:37:08,110 --> 02:37:11,610 And, you know, therefore, it really has no effect at this point. 1499 02:37:12,650 --> 02:37:18,710 What the planning board has to do in this case is make a decision based on this record, based on this site. 1500 02:37:19,210 --> 02:37:24,350 This is not the same site although the sites are close together, but they are not exactly the same. 1501 02:37:24,350 --> 02:37:29,650 one thing this site is closer to the metro for another thing this site is located in a pad 1502 02:37:29,650 --> 02:37:33,930 site that's associated with a, with a, with a, with a, with a, with a, on this one that stayed 1503 02:37:33,930 --> 02:37:40,410 that last part again the other site is that, with a, this site is, this site is located, as 1504 02:37:40,410 --> 02:37:45,790 it has site, associated with a, with a pretty short as a, the other one is not. So these are 1505 02:37:45,790 --> 02:37:53,190 not the same sites. What the planning board is, is has to do it is making a recommendation based 1506 02:37:53,190 --> 02:38:00,390 on this record and based on this site and based on your knowledge and your expertise and 1507 02:38:00,390 --> 02:38:02,990 the information that you have on this site. 1508 02:38:03,570 --> 02:38:05,230 What did you say about the metro session? 1509 02:38:05,470 --> 02:38:09,690 The metro station is actually closer to the Chick-fil-A than the McDonald's. 1510 02:38:10,310 --> 02:38:12,070 So that is closer to this site. 1511 02:38:12,130 --> 02:38:13,750 It is closer to this site. 1512 02:38:14,110 --> 02:38:17,510 So that should also inform your decision. 1513 02:38:18,350 --> 02:38:24,390 whether you change your mind or change your recommendation from the recommendation that you 1514 02:38:24,390 --> 02:38:29,070 made on the McDonald's site is certainly up to you and it's available to you, but I would 1515 02:38:29,070 --> 02:38:35,630 suggest to you that it should be based on information in this record. And if you, on the other 1516 02:38:35,630 --> 02:38:39,910 hand, want to make the same recommendation as to the drive through that you did with the McDonald's, 1517 02:38:39,930 --> 02:38:44,230 again, it should be based on information in this record. I don't think that it's appropriate 1518 02:38:44,230 --> 02:38:52,650 to use an unsigned draft as basis for anything because we don't know what the district council will actually sign. 1519 02:38:55,130 --> 02:38:56,170 Thank you, Ms. Warden. 1520 02:38:56,810 --> 02:38:57,570 Okay, Mr. Lynch. 1521 02:38:58,130 --> 02:39:06,410 Unfortunately, the order will not be signed by tomorrow, but what Ms. Warden has before you is what the 1522 02:39:06,410 --> 02:39:14,610 the principal council to the district council provided to me, and that was what the district council 1523 02:39:14,610 --> 02:39:22,470 moved for approval on Monday. And as you'll see, it refers to an exhibit, and this was 1524 02:39:22,470 --> 02:39:27,640 the thing exhibit that was before. This is the same time we have the difficult- 1525 02:39:27,640 --> 02:39:36,080 So, as you said, the condition that was inserted was, we first to an exhibit, revised lay-outs. 1526 02:39:36,900 --> 02:39:43,320 And that lay-out was presented as in the record in the McDonald's case, and that shows the tribes through component for the McDonald's. 1527 02:39:44,100 --> 02:39:48,540 I understand this ordinance point that these are two separate cases. 1528 02:39:50,040 --> 02:39:57,240 But the fact that matter is is that the district council is making a final determination on both of these cases. 1529 02:39:58,560 --> 02:40:16,770 And as indicated, I stated that the reasoning of the district council was that in the McDonald's case we demonstrated that we were able to balance the pedestrian against the particular nature of the use 1530 02:40:16,770 --> 02:40:23,070 As opposed to the pedestrian nature of the transit district, then they found that we did a very good job of doing that. 1531 02:40:23,430 --> 02:40:27,590 And all I'm saying is that's an example at the district council found. 1532 02:40:27,630 --> 02:40:33,820 And obviously the district council approves the TDDP for administrative supplies up. 1533 02:40:34,730 --> 02:40:36,350 So they found that that's termination. 1534 02:40:37,070 --> 02:40:40,010 That's, again, we complied with the TDDP. 1535 02:40:40,290 --> 02:40:45,590 And again, using similar techniques here, I think that's, you know, 1536 02:40:45,590 --> 02:40:48,950 use this as an example, we are detecting, so we use 1537 02:40:48,950 --> 02:40:51,330 here probably even superior to what was done in the 1538 02:40:51,330 --> 02:40:51,830 McDonald's case. 1539 02:40:51,870 --> 02:40:55,310 And I'm just saying that the district council, who 1540 02:40:55,310 --> 02:40:59,710 makes the final determination, madeifying that we will not 1541 02:40:59,710 --> 02:41:03,430 impact the TDP, who will support the TDP, and the same 1542 02:41:03,430 --> 02:41:04,530 case will hold true here. 1543 02:41:05,230 --> 02:41:06,250 That's really what I'm doing. 1544 02:41:06,330 --> 02:41:10,010 I'm just using that as an example to show that, yes, 1545 02:41:10,190 --> 02:41:12,630 you may, you ask this to remove the drive through on a 1546 02:41:13,530 --> 02:41:13,970 McDonald's. 1547 02:41:14,570 --> 02:41:26,550 But the district council disagreed with that determination, and you know, found that through the creative site design where it was sport, the underlying nature of the GDP and the transit district. 1548 02:41:27,330 --> 02:41:34,190 So that's really what I'm doing. And again, it's unfortunate, you know, I wish I had a sign copy of that resolution. It's just a matter of timing. 1549 02:41:35,250 --> 02:41:42,010 You know, if this is tomorrow, I will have it. But again, that's what was provided to me by the principal council that the district council. 1550 02:41:42,010 --> 02:41:47,650 And that's what the district also moved to approve on Monday of this week. 1551 02:41:47,830 --> 02:41:58,450 Okay, one of the things I need to do before I, the extended question is, this has been a lot of discussion about the order, even though it's unfined. 1552 02:41:59,150 --> 02:42:06,190 And so I think I need to accept it into the record for whatever provident value it may have at this structure. 1553 02:42:06,190 --> 02:42:13,190 So, it may not carry a lot of weight in the structure, but there's been a lot of reference to it. 1554 02:42:13,870 --> 02:42:18,010 So, why I'm going to accept it, it's the right, is that because it's a three. 1555 02:42:19,790 --> 02:42:22,530 For it, it's whatever probative value it may have. 1556 02:42:22,750 --> 02:42:23,730 And a vice chair. 1557 02:42:25,230 --> 02:42:30,470 Well, I agree with council. 1558 02:42:30,470 --> 02:42:36,870 that the district council of course as they also say they will have the final determination. 1559 02:42:39,350 --> 02:42:45,370 But I'm wondering if the district council actually took a vote on the side of it. 1560 02:42:45,390 --> 02:42:46,690 Yes, the vote on Monday. 1561 02:42:47,190 --> 02:42:48,270 They did on Monday. 1562 02:42:48,510 --> 02:42:48,970 That's correct. 1563 02:42:49,530 --> 02:42:50,130 That's correct. 1564 02:42:52,370 --> 02:42:52,810 Leave me. 1565 02:42:53,030 --> 02:42:54,790 I was here waiting with being a brother. 1566 02:42:55,310 --> 02:42:55,610 I'm sorry. 1567 02:42:55,750 --> 02:42:57,190 I was here to witness. 1568 02:42:57,250 --> 02:42:57,770 Okay. 1569 02:42:57,910 --> 02:42:58,070 About. 1570 02:42:59,210 --> 02:43:12,910 not not the country to counsel, but it is usually the district council's practice to take a vote to order or to direct staff to prepare and order. 1571 02:43:13,470 --> 02:43:21,430 They don't normally get into the details of the order, so it can be a little daunting to know what it is they've approved until the order comes out. 1572 02:43:21,430 --> 02:43:23,610 When you ask my question, if they're going to sign, 1573 02:43:23,850 --> 02:43:26,230 who's saying it's going to be signed tomorrow? 1574 02:43:26,470 --> 02:43:28,110 I was informed by the clerk of the council 1575 02:43:28,110 --> 02:43:29,830 that was going to be signed and bailed out tomorrow. 1576 02:43:30,070 --> 02:43:32,050 Okay, so the signed and bailed tomorrow, 1577 02:43:32,590 --> 02:43:34,690 there's no distrepownful hearing tomorrow. 1578 02:43:36,110 --> 02:43:37,470 So that should be a reflection 1579 02:43:37,470 --> 02:43:41,710 on what's approved might be very much like our resolutions 1580 02:43:41,710 --> 02:43:45,290 that we approve, and then we vote on that. 1581 02:43:45,290 --> 02:43:47,430 If you were to, or to what's distributed 1582 02:43:47,430 --> 02:43:49,670 to the members of the district council on that, 1583 02:43:49,670 --> 02:44:00,630 For review. I got it. And then the motion was ready. Got it. However, okay, but, okay, the procedure has changed since then he's got it. 1584 02:44:00,930 --> 02:44:02,090 It's just a few years. 1585 02:44:05,450 --> 02:44:10,050 If the board finds it, it would like me to go and check upstairs. 1586 02:44:10,930 --> 02:44:14,690 Well, I don't know about that, but this is going to the council. 1587 02:44:17,950 --> 02:44:22,730 So let me just do this because I want to get on to the other matters as well. 1588 02:44:22,970 --> 02:44:25,270 So there's anything else that you want to state. 1589 02:44:25,610 --> 02:44:26,610 No, nothing further again. 1590 02:44:26,770 --> 02:44:31,450 I just thought my show was clear that what was presented was what was told to me was. 1591 02:44:31,910 --> 02:44:34,690 Well actually that was distributed to the council on my head. 1592 02:44:35,110 --> 02:44:35,710 Thank you. 1593 02:44:36,410 --> 02:44:36,930 Okay. 1594 02:44:36,930 --> 02:44:37,110 Okay. 1595 02:44:37,750 --> 02:44:38,350 Commissioner Washington. 1596 02:44:40,650 --> 02:44:42,610 In applicants exhibit number one, 1597 02:44:42,610 --> 02:44:53,870 I just want to you to restate again, please Mr. Lynch. It was conditions 1AB and J as well as 1598 02:44:53,870 --> 02:44:59,910 new H which related to the drive through is that correct? Yeah, I reckon you misfeels as well. 1599 02:45:00,500 --> 02:45:17,040 That's correct. The reason why if there is a drive through, there's none in a room in the area. It's constructed, we've struck the wall. And also, really trying to be able to bring a certain compliance with landscape manual and screen loading space.

The current proposal is located within Councilmatic District 2. 1711 02:52:44,330 --> 02:52:49,790 On the north side of East West Highway in the northwest quadrant of its intersection with 1712 02:52:49,790 --> 02:52:55,130 America Boulevard, America Boulevard is the main street of University Town Center. 1713 02:52:55,910 --> 02:53:03,410 The property is owned MXT and is also in a DDOC. As the overlay map shows, the edge of 1714 02:53:03,410 --> 02:53:10,940 the OZ is just to the east of the subject property and the aerial map indicates the current 1715 02:53:10,940 --> 02:53:18,180 conditions on the site which is a surface parking lot. This aerial gives a perspective 1716 02:53:18,180 --> 02:53:27,180 looking to the south. I believe this is called Metro Building 3 and have referred to it 1717 02:53:27,180 --> 02:53:33,320 that way in the staff report and just beyond that you see the current surface parking lot 1718 02:53:34,160 --> 02:53:42,300 that serves that building at this time and then you also see the entrance into the site 1719 02:53:42,300 --> 02:53:49,800 off of democracy Boulevard and you can also see partially a part of the road that connects 1720 02:53:49,800 --> 02:53:58,260 here is called Liberty Lane and America Boulevard is here and serves the town center. 1721 02:53:58,260 --> 02:54:06,160 This is a right-in access and a right-out and there's a medium in the center of east-west highway. 1722 02:54:07,440 --> 02:54:15,580 This is another version looking north and the subject site is located at the bottom of the screen. 1723 02:54:16,220 --> 02:54:23,320 And you get a little bit better picture of America Boulevard as you can see the buildings that were built 1724 02:54:23,320 --> 02:54:30,960 and onto the face of Metro 3 that created the streetscape of America Boulevard. 1725 02:54:33,130 --> 02:54:40,570 The property is relatively flat with the water actually draining to the east, 1726 02:54:40,890 --> 02:54:43,610 as shown on the topography map here. 1727 02:54:45,010 --> 02:54:48,850 So the highest portion of the site is located at this corner, 1728 02:54:49,490 --> 02:54:52,850 the intersection of east, west, highway, and America Boulevard. 1729 02:54:52,850 --> 02:55:00,370 A master plan of right-of-way map indicates east-west highway as an arterial and bell-crest 1730 02:55:00,370 --> 02:55:05,290 road located to the west of the subject site as a collector. 1731 02:55:08,030 --> 02:55:15,030 I've talked about the existing conditions on the site which is a parking compound and we'll 1732 02:55:15,030 --> 02:55:17,350 get into the detailed site plan now. 1733 02:55:17,350 --> 02:55:26,450 This drawing, which is the unrendered version, but the engineering plant actually shows stormwater management, 1734 02:55:27,190 --> 02:55:30,110 located below the building in this location. 1735 02:55:30,630 --> 02:55:38,710 And water is hiked out into a drainage swell and other system over to the east and north of the site. 1736 02:55:40,210 --> 02:55:46,990 Okay, this is a rendered site plan, and what you're seeing here is looking down onto the building itself, 1737 02:55:47,510 --> 02:55:52,430 which shows the second story of the parking compound on the roof of the building. 1738 02:55:53,990 --> 02:56:00,910 The main part of Safeway is located to the west of this line, which is sort of a separation line. 1739 02:56:00,910 --> 02:56:08,430 And all of this is the safe weight area except for some loading area back in here and then 1740 02:56:08,430 --> 02:56:10,070 the ramp that goes below there. 1741 02:56:10,290 --> 02:56:14,990 So this portion of the parking garage is actually two-story. 1742 02:56:15,110 --> 02:56:17,330 This is single parking up here. 1743 02:56:18,090 --> 02:56:26,530 Now if you are entering the site off of democracy Avenue, you pull in to the parking garage 1744 02:56:26,530 --> 02:56:31,850 at this location and you can also come around the building and pull in this location. 1745 02:56:32,650 --> 02:56:37,910 If you come to the second story, there will be entrances to get into the food and beverage 1746 02:56:37,910 --> 02:56:43,230 store through an elevator system system in two locations. 1747 02:56:44,170 --> 02:56:50,890 It should also be noted that buildings, B and C have tenants at the second floor and there 1748 02:56:50,890 --> 02:56:58,690 be parking and entrances for that second floor office and or retail from the second floor 1749 02:56:58,690 --> 02:57:00,130 of the parking garage. 1750 02:57:02,470 --> 02:57:09,630 So this project proposes a total of 85,524 square feet of development 1751 02:57:10,230 --> 02:57:17,630 and it is for a 52,000 square foot food and beverage store and the remaining is a combination 1752 02:57:17,630 --> 02:57:26,070 of retail and office. This request also includes amendments to the use table, to the building 1753 02:57:26,070 --> 02:57:33,230 height, to reduce in with the design of the streetscape, as well as some detailing in the 1754 02:57:33,230 --> 02:57:47,810 streetscape. So the MXT zone is governed for density and intensity of development through 1755 02:57:47,810 --> 02:57:55,870 floor area ratio. And through previous bonus incentives earned for this project, the overall 1756 02:57:55,870 --> 02:58:06,790 FAR allowed for sub area 3 is 2.245 floor area ratio. And this is on page 7 of the staff report. 1757 02:58:07,870 --> 02:58:15,790 The total FRA floor area ratio proposed for this including this project is 1.347. 1758 02:58:15,790 --> 02:58:19,770 So there is four area ratio still available out there 1759 02:58:19,770 --> 02:58:21,050 for additional development. 1760 02:58:21,970 --> 02:58:24,390 And that's important because there is another parcel 1761 02:58:24,390 --> 02:58:28,530 yet for development that is open in the sub area. 1762 02:58:29,990 --> 02:58:35,570 The amendments that are being requested include the change 1763 02:58:35,570 --> 02:58:36,490 to the use table. 1764 02:58:37,090 --> 02:58:44,690 Now the use table states that the food and beverage use 1765 02:58:44,690 --> 02:58:55,930 is only allowed as a, it has to be located within office building a hotel, a wholly enclosed 1766 02:58:55,930 --> 02:58:59,390 shopping mall or within an accessory to an allowed use. 1767 02:59:00,210 --> 02:59:04,790 And in this case, it is the anchor to the main mixed use development. 1768 02:59:05,730 --> 02:59:12,590 So the question is, it was it ever considered that a food and beverage store would be of 1769 02:59:12,590 --> 02:59:14,410 size being proposed. 1770 02:59:16,830 --> 02:59:23,050 So the staff is recommending approval of this change to the use table 1771 02:59:23,050 --> 02:59:32,050 because we think that the main element being an anchor store that the TDP may not have 1772 02:59:32,050 --> 02:59:39,410 recognized a food of every store of this size. I think it was really trying to prohibit small 1773 02:59:39,410 --> 02:59:45,870 convenient stores on independent pad sites, which would be more on keeping with suburban 1774 02:59:45,870 --> 02:59:51,990 development than a more urban product like this mixed use multi-story development. 1775 02:59:53,890 --> 02:59:58,570 The other thing that the applicant is asking for is relief from the minimum building height 1776 02:59:58,570 --> 02:59:59,350 and the TDP. 1777 03:00:00,020 --> 03:00:06,320 State that uses other than residential shall be four stories in height. 1778 03:00:07,200 --> 03:00:13,500 And in this case, let me pull up the architecture. 1779 03:00:16,350 --> 03:00:19,890 In this case, the building height ranges 1780 03:00:19,890 --> 03:00:29,190 in height from approximately 18 feet in height to 44 to 48 feet in height. And the difference 1781 03:00:29,190 --> 03:00:35,570 When you're talking about stories versus actual, you know, 1782 03:00:35,670 --> 03:00:41,630 let linear feet of height, it makes a big difference because 1783 03:00:41,630 --> 03:00:48,130 the stories for a forest story building could be ten feet between each floor. 1784 03:00:48,890 --> 03:00:53,150 On the other hand, with a commercial development, when you have retail at the first floor, 1785 03:00:53,150 --> 03:01:01,090 often times, the building is 20 feet on the first floor, and perhaps 20 feet on a second 1786 03:01:01,090 --> 03:01:01,490 floor. 1787 03:01:01,770 --> 03:01:08,130 And the reason for that is that the high ceilings are very common for this type of commercial 1788 03:01:08,130 --> 03:01:08,690 development. 1789 03:01:09,970 --> 03:01:19,230 So, we felt that this project could be recommended for approval for that amendment to the 1790 03:01:19,230 --> 03:01:19,930 building height. 1791 03:01:19,930 --> 03:01:45,550 Another amendment, the applicant is requesting relates to the streetscape requirements, and in 2001 the district council granted an approval to both the conceptual site plan and a primary amendment at that time for the streetscape to reduce it from 40 feet to 28 feet in width. 1792 03:01:45,550 --> 03:01:53,750 And what the applicant originally submitted was 28 feet in width, but since they submitted 1793 03:01:53,750 --> 03:01:58,650 the plans, they've been working with the State Highway Administration, and they've learned 1794 03:01:58,650 --> 03:02:07,190 that they are requiring a five-foot bite-late bike lane along East-West Highway, which means 1795 03:02:07,190 --> 03:02:12,610 that they need to move the curb back in additional five feet, and one of the design elements 1796 03:02:12,610 --> 03:02:20,550 of the building has some pillars that come down from a roof element in front of the safe way 1797 03:02:20,550 --> 03:02:28,510 that will basically take up an additional three feet. So they're asking for this reduction 1798 03:02:28,510 --> 03:02:37,440 from 28 to 20 feet. And in looking at that, the staff went back to the original approval by the 1799 03:02:37,440 --> 03:02:42,440 Council when they reviewed the reduction from 40 to 28 feet, and we looked at the three 1800 03:02:42,440 --> 03:02:48,040 conditions that they attached to that approval, and we address each one in the staff report. 1801 03:02:48,880 --> 03:02:56,120 And the first thing that they wanted to make sure was that if there was a reduction in the street 1802 03:02:56,120 --> 03:03:01,800 with streetscape width, that the first 15 feet of the building height shall include, 1803 03:03:01,800 --> 03:03:06,860 For at least 80% of the linear frontage of the buildings, build two line uses to 1804 03:03:06,860 --> 03:03:11,040 enliven the area adjacent to the sidewalk and to the pedestrian zone. 1805 03:03:12,260 --> 03:03:21,740 So what we've done here is to look at the building along East West Highway, and you can see 1806 03:03:21,740 --> 03:03:29,380 with the amount of glass along the frontage, it allows for the programmatic elements that are occurring 1807 03:03:29,380 --> 03:03:34,840 inside of the buildings to be seen, and there's that exchange of activity that's happening 1808 03:03:34,840 --> 03:03:39,040 within the streets gate, and within the building itself. 1809 03:03:39,980 --> 03:03:46,760 So they do meet the 80 percent criteria, and we are quite pleased with the exterior finish 1810 03:03:46,760 --> 03:03:51,820 along East-West Highway, but I'll get into more detail on that as well. 1811 03:03:52,460 --> 03:03:55,540 So we are recommending approval of that. 1812 03:03:55,540 --> 03:04:15,560 The second condition that the District Council placed on that reduction in streetscape was that the parking garage along East West Highway was subject to a condition that the first floor shall employ such techniques as building offsets, variations and building materials or color and attractive vending to avoid monotonous facades. 1813 03:04:15,560 --> 03:04:45,540 And in this case, what the applicant has done is they have proposed that this portion of the parking garage be set back 15 feet from the rest of the streetscape and they have the pillars coming down along the streetscape and then there is an art and art panel that will be placed up and upper portion of it, which will also add to the experience as the 1814 03:04:45,540 --> 03:04:47,820 the pedestrian moves along that edge. 1815 03:04:48,660 --> 03:04:55,620 So what I have is a, let's see, I need to escape out of here. 1816 03:04:56,140 --> 03:05:01,820 And I'm going to go to another video that we have here. 1817 03:05:10,950 --> 03:05:13,550 Now, this is a video that we have been working 1818 03:05:13,550 --> 03:05:18,450 on the technology of taking applicants, proposed architecture, 1819 03:05:18,450 --> 03:05:32,530 and the information that we review on the site plan and so much and put it into a 3D model so that we can provide for the planning board and the district council the ability to sort of see how it really would feel. 1820 03:05:32,850 --> 03:05:43,030 And in this case, what we created was, as if you're the pedestrian walking along East West Highway, what that streetscape would feel like. 1821 03:05:43,030 --> 03:05:47,930 Okay, so I'm just going to let it go here and just talk a little bit 1822 03:05:47,930 --> 03:05:55,410 Well, it goes through so this is building C here on the corner and this is the entrance into the transit district and you can see 1823 03:05:55,410 --> 03:05:59,530 As you're walking along the development, you'll see what's happening in building C 1824 03:06:00,470 --> 03:06:05,570 You're going along you've got the street trees on one side and then here's the parking garage 1825 03:06:07,190 --> 03:06:12,990 So the parking garage is here and there'll be landscaping and some double rows of trees along this edge and some 1826 03:06:13,030 --> 03:06:18,610 meeting, and then up in this area will be a panel of artwork, which doesn't really show up 1827 03:06:18,610 --> 03:06:20,290 here, but you'll see it in some more. 1828 03:06:23,440 --> 03:06:26,080 And so this would be basically how it feels. 1829 03:06:26,600 --> 03:06:32,960 Another issue that's coming up with the conformance to the previous conditions of the district 1830 03:06:32,960 --> 03:06:38,960 council has to do with the treatment of the street along this edge, and at what it was 1831 03:06:38,960 --> 03:06:44,380 28 feet wide, we recommended the continuous linear planting bed. 1832 03:06:44,960 --> 03:06:49,500 But now that it has to be reduced down to 20 feet, we're recommending that these areas 1833 03:06:49,500 --> 03:06:55,300 actually, the trees actually be in pits, and they'll be concrete between each one 1834 03:06:55,300 --> 03:07:01,180 with a soil, a structural soil underneath, and it will make it feel a little wider. 1835 03:07:02,080 --> 03:07:05,920 So instead of being the actual eight feet, it will extend beyond that. 1836 03:07:05,920 --> 03:07:15,360 So as we move through this, you can see here's the three-foot encroachment of the columns that come down off of the safeway front. 1837 03:07:20,210 --> 03:07:22,730 There's the main entrance into the safeway. 1838 03:07:24,370 --> 03:07:26,410 And this is a planting bed along here. 1839 03:07:26,930 --> 03:07:34,250 And then you can see what's going on in the safeway itself because that's all glass along that edge. 1840 03:07:37,550 --> 03:07:40,490 This is some of the signage area indicating the different uses. 1841 03:07:40,490 --> 03:07:52,970 And this is a second entrance located here and then also there is a little elevator for ADA accessibility right at that pad side that will allow people to get in at that location. 1842 03:07:53,670 --> 03:08:02,770 And then as we come up to the corner you can see the pyline sign that currently exists for the project and as you turn the corner this is America Boulevard. 1843 03:08:02,770 --> 03:08:05,090 There and there's a 1844 03:08:06,330 --> 03:08:09,210 It plaza located at that edge. 1845 03:08:12,070 --> 03:08:17,450 Okay, so then the other thing I was going to show you is another model 1846 03:08:17,450 --> 03:08:21,030 Which is done on a 3D of the whole project 1847 03:08:21,030 --> 03:08:30,630 A quick question of video was there a the basement level entrance there off of no what's happening is as you're going 1848 03:08:30,630 --> 03:08:36,290 off the grade on East West it's very slight I give you're out there I think I've been out there 1849 03:08:36,690 --> 03:08:41,670 you know 50 times and I've never really noticed that there's much of an incline but there really is so the 1850 03:08:41,670 --> 03:08:52,330 finished floor has to be flat and as you go up the road is going up you have to come in and go down a few steps to get to that second entrance 1851 03:08:57,270 --> 03:09:14,630 Okay, so this is the model, the 3D model that our staff came up with in the Information Management Division, and this shows the corner of East West and America Boulevard. 1852 03:09:14,630 --> 03:09:17,430 This is the plaza area that's being proposed. 1853 03:09:17,950 --> 03:09:22,890 This is building B. Safeway comes around this corner 1854 03:09:22,890 --> 03:09:25,750 and extends about to this location. 1855 03:09:26,150 --> 03:09:29,650 And then beyond that is the two-story parking garage. 1856 03:09:30,190 --> 03:09:31,330 And that's building C. 1857 03:09:32,890 --> 03:09:33,390 So 1858 03:09:35,430 --> 03:09:39,210 you can see the curvilinear nature of that corner element. 1859 03:09:41,570 --> 03:09:45,490 And how the garage is set back at that location, 1860 03:09:45,490 --> 03:09:54,110 coming around. This is, so, building C will be the main entrance into the transit district. 1861 03:09:54,150 --> 03:10:00,750 It transitions from a church or other religious institution located on this site directly 1862 03:10:00,750 --> 03:10:09,770 east. And there is a slope that occurs between the project down to the adjacent property. 1863 03:10:10,250 --> 03:10:15,310 And there's landscaping along that edge and we have a condition about treatment of that landscaping 1864 03:10:15,310 --> 03:10:21,030 make sure that the retaining wall system and everything is attractive. And then also another 1865 03:10:21,030 --> 03:10:28,010 issue that came up was that you get into the first floor through the front doors that will occur 1866 03:10:28,010 --> 03:10:34,350 at this location and to get into the second story you would come in along democracy Boulevard as a 1867 03:10:34,350 --> 03:10:41,670 pedestrian and go into a lobby and then go off the elevator. Or if you're in a car you drive around and 1868 03:10:41,670 --> 03:10:46,050 go into the parking garage and you drive and you park up here to go to the second floor. 1869 03:10:46,670 --> 03:10:52,130 But the other thing I asked them to do was to add another entrance into that lobby from 1870 03:10:52,130 --> 03:10:56,450 the garage and they agreed to do that so that if you're already parked in the garage and 1871 03:10:56,450 --> 03:11:00,330 you're shot to the safe where you can get to the other stores on the second floor. 1872 03:11:00,790 --> 03:11:02,850 And the applicant agreed to do that. 1873 03:11:05,890 --> 03:11:09,590 So, this is the east side, east facade. 1874 03:11:11,130 --> 03:11:15,210 Okay, what you're looking down here is Liberty Lane, 1875 03:11:15,690 --> 03:11:19,590 which has green areas associated with the Metro 3 building, 1876 03:11:19,970 --> 03:11:25,330 and this is really the back of the safeway and other structures there. 1877 03:11:25,670 --> 03:11:28,350 So the loading will come into this area back here, 1878 03:11:28,510 --> 03:11:33,750 but there is also a secondary entrance at this location for the vehicles. 1879 03:11:34,830 --> 03:11:37,330 You can see they're planting on the rooftop. 1880 03:11:37,530 --> 03:11:43,470 That's a requirement of the transit district development plan that they provide 5% and you 1881 03:11:43,470 --> 03:11:49,510 can see through the Metro Building 3 here to see where the garage doors are for the loading 1882 03:11:49,510 --> 03:11:50,490 area. 1883 03:11:53,280 --> 03:11:54,540 This is building B 1884 03:11:57,160 --> 03:11:59,820 and there you see Liberty Lane here. 1885 03:11:59,820 --> 03:12:09,900 So, there's on-street parking located within the lot for the tenants here and across the street. 1886 03:12:11,060 --> 03:12:21,240 And this is an entrance to that can be used by pedestrians to go up the steps or use the elevator to get to the parking garage over here. 1887 03:12:21,240 --> 03:12:34,040 So it allows for people who might be parked on this garage to come down and visit these use these, you know, visit the tenants in these sites, but also to go down the main street. 1888 03:12:34,500 --> 03:12:40,940 And that's very important for that project because they need more people coming back and forth through that main street. 1889 03:12:46,390 --> 03:12:53,530 And then another point that we've talked about is that this Pylon sign, which is existing out on the property today, 1890 03:12:53,530 --> 03:13:03,390 The applicant may try to move it from this Plaza area over to this island, if it's allowed 1891 03:13:03,390 --> 03:13:10,310 by the overall developer of UTC and if transportation sightlines can be maintained and so 1892 03:13:10,310 --> 03:13:10,810 forth. 1893 03:13:11,210 --> 03:13:15,570 So you probably remember a condition that we had about that that they should be allowed to 1894 03:13:15,570 --> 03:13:19,070 move that if they're able to work it out. 1895 03:13:20,310 --> 03:13:34,550 And then this plaza area is an area where you can get a safe way food from their prepared 1896 03:13:34,550 --> 03:13:37,190 areas within the building itself. 1897 03:13:37,390 --> 03:13:43,150 And then also the Starbucks coffee shop is inside of this safe way. 1898 03:13:43,150 --> 03:13:45,190 and you can come out and sit in this area. 1899 03:13:45,810 --> 03:13:50,170 And these three panels here are not see-through panels 1900 03:13:50,170 --> 03:13:54,070 because that's an area where they have a lot of refrigeration 1901 03:13:54,070 --> 03:13:55,630 and storage and that type of thing. 1902 03:13:55,970 --> 03:13:59,370 So we ask them to make them decorative 1903 03:13:59,950 --> 03:14:03,810 in like an art exhibit type design 1904 03:14:03,810 --> 03:14:07,450 that could be changed out seasonally if they would like to 1905 03:14:07,450 --> 03:14:11,410 in order to, you know, make that a little bit more lively 1906 03:14:11,410 --> 03:14:12,530 in that corner. 1907 03:14:30,390 --> 03:14:35,210 So those are the three conditions I covered regarding the reduction in the 1908 03:14:35,210 --> 03:14:40,630 streetscape from 28 feet down to 20 feet and we do recommend that the planning board grant 1909 03:14:40,630 --> 03:14:49,330 that partly because of the state highways new requirements for bike lanes within any project 1910 03:14:49,330 --> 03:14:56,190 that you know has front-age. We're bike lanes are required and then the last requirement for the 1911 03:14:56,190 --> 03:14:59,950 amendment that would be is requested by the applicant. 1912 03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:19,900 And is that the property frontages are to be developed in accordance with a particular streetscape within the TDP, which includes a double row of trees and you saw on the model that they can only fit one linear strip of trees in certain locations. 1913 03:15:19,900 --> 03:15:28,780 So, this staff recommends approval of all of the amendments, which include basically five amendments, 1914 03:15:29,280 --> 03:15:34,240 four of which are required to be approved at the district council level. 1915 03:15:34,840 --> 03:15:37,480 So, in that case, you're making a recommendation to them. 1916 03:15:45,670 --> 03:15:52,610 So, this plan was also reviewed by the standard referral agencies, 1917 03:15:52,610 --> 03:16:01,690 our transportation planning office reviewed it for conformance to the TDP and found that it 1918 03:16:01,690 --> 03:16:10,610 did meet the requirements for adequacy based on the parking generation requirements and 1919 03:16:10,610 --> 03:16:19,590 allowances within the TDP. There was also a reviewed by the environmental planning section 1920 03:16:19,590 --> 03:16:26,290 regarding environmental requirements within the TDP, and I do want to mention on the record, 1921 03:16:26,530 --> 03:16:32,110 and I will need to add it into the resolution that they are meeting the TRE Conservation 1922 03:16:32,110 --> 03:16:41,150 TRE canopy coverage requirements as well for the project, and community planning division 1923 03:16:41,150 --> 03:16:47,570 reviewed the project as well with a recommendation of approval of the project as well as the 1924 03:16:47,570 --> 03:16:48,250 amendments, 1925 03:16:52,730 --> 03:17:00,170 the transportation planning section also reviewed it for pedestrian related and 1926 03:17:00,170 --> 03:17:07,670 bicycle related analysis, and they are recommending that additional bike parking spaces 1927 03:17:07,670 --> 03:17:12,390 be provided throughout the development for a total of 28 bike parking spaces. 1928 03:17:13,130 --> 03:17:21,410 They are also found it from a pedestrian standpoint to be worthy of being approved. 1929 03:17:22,150 --> 03:17:26,990 And at this corner, I wanted to explain to you what's happening with the plaza. 1930 03:17:27,550 --> 03:17:33,030 At this location, you can see here is that secondary entrance where you have to go down the 1931 03:17:33,030 --> 03:17:37,010 steps to get into the first floor of the safeway. 1932 03:17:37,010 --> 03:17:44,810 And then this area includes benches that are stone and then they'll be there, you know, 1933 03:17:45,010 --> 03:17:47,850 all year round, they won't be removable. 1934 03:17:48,530 --> 03:17:56,730 And then there's also the opportunity for removable seating elements that may be more colorful 1935 03:17:56,730 --> 03:17:58,770 with umbrellas and that type of thing. 1936 03:17:58,910 --> 03:18:05,610 There's also a recommendation by the City of Highestville to include a sculpture or some site 1937 03:18:05,610 --> 03:18:09,690 some sort of art element in that plaza area, 1938 03:18:09,850 --> 03:18:14,890 and the applicant is willing to accept that condition. 1939 03:18:15,590 --> 03:18:18,270 There are conditions relating to the irrigation system 1940 03:18:18,270 --> 03:18:24,050 to get that completely finalized part of signature approval. 1941 03:18:25,590 --> 03:18:28,210 And let's see, here's the architecture. 1942 03:18:28,210 --> 03:18:39,690 The use of materials is brick with some composite materials that are used along the front. 1943 03:18:40,590 --> 03:18:48,990 And also this type of the applicant can probably explain it better than I can. 1944 03:18:49,970 --> 03:19:03,010 And then the prospective views indicate what it will look like in this case, this is the North West Corner of the Site at Liberty and America Boulevard. 1945 03:19:03,310 --> 03:19:09,990 So you're looking at Billings C and this is the area where the lobby is where you can go up to the second floor. 1946 03:19:10,970 --> 03:19:17,190 And you can see the tenants all along this edge and this may be office at the second level. 1947 03:19:17,950 --> 03:19:30,510 And this is a perspective of a safe way along the frontage of East-West Highway and another look from the opposite direction. 1948 03:19:32,900 --> 03:19:48,200 Okay, and this was provided by the applicant to provide some discussion about transportation systems as you come in and out of the site and how there are multiple areas to exit the project. 1949 03:19:48,200 --> 03:19:57,080 because you cannot come out and take a direct, come out of the project and take a left turn 1950 03:19:57,080 --> 03:20:03,280 because there's a median and so forth. So this concludes the staff's presentation. 1951 03:20:05,340 --> 03:20:07,680 Thank you, Mr. Ruth. Okay. Commissioner Washington. 1952 03:20:08,040 --> 03:20:15,000 Ms. Louis, thank you for one of our presentation.

The city for House 2002 03:22:47,930 --> 03:22:53,930 five or six years has engaged with SHA on various projects at this site about 2003 03:22:53,930 --> 03:22:59,930 an additional turn lane or signalized intersection. It is our understanding based 2004 03:22:59,930 --> 03:23:04,310 on SHA's comments that they would not support signalized intersection. However, 2005 03:23:04,310 --> 03:23:10,350 That being said, if they would grant that we certainly would be supportive of it, we understand 2006 03:23:10,350 --> 03:23:14,410 that the need for additional access to the site and would be very supportive of it. 2007 03:23:15,450 --> 03:23:21,410 With respect to the bike infrastructure, our position has been if it makes sense to 2008 03:23:21,410 --> 03:23:24,550 include in the project, we are certainly supportive of it. 2009 03:23:24,890 --> 03:23:31,570 Our concern is that the requirement for the bike lane would create a 300 foot bike lane that 2010 03:23:31,570 --> 03:23:33,130 would not have a start and finish. 2011 03:23:34,410 --> 03:23:41,010 We've made these comments known to MDOT that there seems 2012 03:23:41,010 --> 03:23:44,770 to be some inconsistency or problems with the way 2013 03:23:44,770 --> 03:23:46,390 the policy is applied. 2014 03:23:47,210 --> 03:23:50,550 And certainly, we look for those bike lanes to be incorporated 2015 03:23:50,550 --> 03:23:52,870 on a little bit more comprehensive level. 2016 03:23:53,530 --> 03:23:58,230 Certainly, we don't want to create any unintended consequences 2017 03:23:58,230 --> 03:24:06,310 in terms of providing those on a bicycle with the impression that it is a safe area, and 2018 03:24:06,310 --> 03:24:12,490 then all of a sudden, the bike lane that was there sort of disappears, and it was mentioned 2019 03:24:13,330 --> 03:24:21,870 certainly, it's SHA's call, we're aware of it, we support even delaying that element if 2020 03:24:21,870 --> 03:24:27,850 SHA was supportive of that provided that the easement was there to create that sort of 2021 03:24:27,850 --> 03:24:29,210 I hope he has a bite-late. 2022 03:24:31,230 --> 03:24:32,030 Thank you. 2023 03:24:32,190 --> 03:24:32,530 Very rough. 2024 03:24:33,430 --> 03:24:41,930 One related question I had was with respect to, I guess, the, there's some discussion in the staff report. 2025 03:24:42,130 --> 03:24:44,950 I think also provided by the applicants, justifications. 2026 03:24:46,250 --> 03:24:56,730 On the, I guess, saturation with the market and some of the residential, and certainly I think more, I guess, 2027 03:24:56,730 --> 03:25:00,170 More greater residential component here would have been welcomed. 2028 03:25:01,690 --> 03:25:06,730 I guess what my concern is is the viability of the retail alongside the anchor. 2029 03:25:08,030 --> 03:25:15,230 I don't know what the current vacancy rate might be with some of the other retail at the University Town Center, 2030 03:25:16,470 --> 03:25:22,150 but I'm just wondering if there's been any additional sort of market feasibility studies 2031 03:25:26,110 --> 03:25:32,230 I would reach the same conclusion in terms of, yes, we believe it's a better project with the residential. 2032 03:25:33,450 --> 03:25:46,410 That being said, the need for an anchor at this site has been, I think, the greatest contributing factor to the struggles of the University Town Center. 2033 03:25:46,410 --> 03:26:05,410 certainly having 176 more units on top with 300 plus potential customers on top would certainly make sense, but we don't we believe there's enough existing and planned residential within the TDOZ to support this. 2034 03:26:08,050 --> 03:26:08,850 Thank you very much. 2035 03:26:08,850 --> 03:26:08,850 Thank 2036 03:26:11,380 --> 03:26:12,900 you. 2037 03:26:13,020 --> 03:26:13,040 Good 2038 03:26:25,330 --> 03:26:27,550 afternoon everyone. 2039 03:26:29,430 --> 03:26:35,910 Again, Madam Chair, thank you and Honourable Members, thank you for allowing me to testify 2040 03:26:35,910 --> 03:26:41,070 here today as always this pleasure to stand before you. 2041 03:26:42,170 --> 03:26:49,830 The town would like to read into the record their position and then I'll make a couple personal 2042 03:26:49,830 --> 03:26:50,970 comments afterwards. 2043 03:26:53,450 --> 03:26:59,000 First, if you want to distribute this, the top, the top one. 2044 03:27:03,510 --> 03:27:04,550 Have a copy. 2045 03:27:05,690 --> 03:27:05,870 Okay. 2046 03:27:06,230 --> 03:27:06,910 Thank you. 2047 03:27:07,250 --> 03:27:07,530 Okay. 2048 03:27:15,480 --> 03:27:21,520 This is with reference to the detailed side client DSP 05084-02. 2049 03:27:21,520 --> 03:27:29,160 The University Town Center parcel asks this letter sent on behalf of the Town of University 2050 03:27:29,160 --> 03:27:36,940 Park to present its formal position concerning the application of echo UTC LLC for DSP 2051 03:27:38,400 --> 03:27:45,560 0508484-02 DSP, the Safeway Project, located on University Town Center parcel asks 2052 03:27:45,560 --> 03:27:59,240 Council voted on October 28, 2013 at Sport the DSP with conditions proposed by the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission staff. 2053 03:28:00,600 --> 03:28:11,340 I might add that with the exception of one individual who had to abstain for conflict of interest reasons, we will completely unanimous in this vote. 2054 03:28:11,340 --> 03:28:14,920 and frankly, we're quite enthusiastic supporters. 2055 03:28:16,560 --> 03:28:19,140 The Council of Water to make two additional requests. 2056 03:28:20,900 --> 03:28:27,500 These are the Council is concerned that all of this project is located in a TDO zone. 2057 03:28:28,420 --> 03:28:32,600 There is no adjacent bus or taxis stop or pull off. 2058 03:28:33,160 --> 03:28:38,660 The town operates a circulator bus that could add such a stop to its roof. 2059 03:28:38,660 --> 03:28:45,040 They're by allowing residents access to the property without using a car. 2060 03:28:45,860 --> 03:28:49,140 The Council supports installation of such a stop or pull-off. 2061 03:28:49,820 --> 03:28:56,080 We understand that it is unlikely that SHA would approve a bus taxi stop or pull-off on 2062 03:28:56,080 --> 03:29:00,260 route 410, which would be an optimum location. 2063 03:29:00,840 --> 03:29:07,580 As an alternative, the Council requested the DSP include a condition that the applicant cooperate 2064 03:29:07,580 --> 03:29:15,600 with the owner of the adjacent internal roadways to create a bus taxi stop or pull off for loading 2065 03:29:15,600 --> 03:29:23,420 and unloading of passengers on America Boulevard. Democracy Avenue or Liberty Lane, and that if 2066 03:29:23,420 --> 03:29:30,100 this is achieved, the applicant can be required to provide a bus shelter at the site. And require 2067 03:29:30,100 --> 03:29:36,780 that the applicant, it's airs and assignees be required to install a traffic light at the left turn 2068 03:29:36,780 --> 03:29:44,520 in into the project of the Democracy Avenue and Route 410 East-West Highway upon approval 2069 03:29:44,520 --> 03:29:46,480 by the State Highway Administration. 2070 03:29:50,820 --> 03:29:55,180 So, yeah, let me just finish and then I'll just make a couple of comments. 2071 03:29:56,180 --> 03:29:59,980 Finally, the Council expresses appreciation that the applicant will provide. 2072 03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:07,580 At all stormwater management on site, our community is downstream of the proposed project and will benefit from this decision. 2073 03:30:08,540 --> 03:30:12,480 Thank you very, thank you for your consideration of the council's position. 2074 03:30:14,140 --> 03:30:18,720 Okay, thank you, Mayor Tabori, and I'm going to accept the letter into the record. 2075 03:30:18,980 --> 03:30:23,180 I'm just going to call it university parks, if there's a bit number one. 2076 03:30:23,540 --> 03:30:24,960 Okay, and you had some personal comments. 2077 03:30:24,960 --> 03:30:42,620 I mean, a couple of first of all, I'd like to thank the applicant for willingly coming to our meetings and engaging in the dialogue that they did, but also like to thank Susan Rose for her assistance, as always. 2078 03:30:44,320 --> 03:30:48,620 I think that this project has been a long time in coming. 2079 03:30:49,940 --> 03:31:12,620 We've all waited for this project and I think it's been really nice to be able to get here and to be able to talk in a very quiet and productive way with all the parties involved and I appreciate that very much. 2080 03:31:13,340 --> 03:31:14,320 Thank you, ma'am. 2081 03:31:16,080 --> 03:31:16,280 Okay. 2082 03:31:18,640 --> 03:31:18,940 Okay. 2083 03:31:23,560 --> 03:31:24,020 Come on, Dan. 2084 03:31:24,240 --> 03:31:24,780 Let's do the desk. 2085 03:31:27,480 --> 03:31:29,280 Madam Chair, for the record, Matthew, 2086 03:31:29,280 --> 03:31:30,800 to desk with a lot from a Mac and me, 2087 03:31:30,800 --> 03:31:31,580 Rosie and Greenville. 2088 03:31:31,680 --> 03:31:32,900 I'll be half of the applicant. 2089 03:31:35,740 --> 03:31:37,920 In full disclosure, I have a confession. 2090 03:31:38,060 --> 03:31:41,840 I had to explain to my client that you typically saved 2091 03:31:41,840 --> 03:31:44,360 the best projects for last on a planning board agenda. 2092 03:31:44,360 --> 03:31:49,360 That's what kind of we're not ordered there at this morning, so, with that being said. 2093 03:31:51,800 --> 03:31:54,280 Again, whether there's any truth in that or not, or if we can. 2094 03:31:54,640 --> 03:31:55,320 That's your story. 2095 03:31:56,540 --> 03:31:59,020 I'll leave that to you in this question, but that's what I told them. 2096 03:32:00,600 --> 03:32:04,320 Again, with that being said, it goes without saying. 2097 03:32:04,320 --> 03:32:05,220 That's the occasion. 2098 03:32:05,740 --> 03:32:07,900 Well, I try to wear your favorite calling. 2099 03:32:08,900 --> 03:32:11,080 We're matching at least. 2100 03:32:12,340 --> 03:32:13,300 Happy Halloween, by the way. 2101 03:32:13,300 --> 03:32:15,560 Thank you. 2102 03:32:16,000 --> 03:32:22,480 I would be remiss if I didn't introduce our team who have worked tirelessly on this project 2103 03:32:22,480 --> 03:32:24,900 for over a year, really. 2104 03:32:26,440 --> 03:32:32,960 And so if you could just allow me to just do that, Mr. Jim Castillo who was in the front row 2105 03:32:32,960 --> 03:32:35,020 with me to my left, you're right. 2106 03:32:35,420 --> 03:32:38,100 He's a senior director of development and construction for echo royalty, 2107 03:32:38,760 --> 03:32:41,960 who is the parent company of echo UTC LLC. 2108 03:32:43,500 --> 03:32:48,240 With him is more bolder, who is also with Echo, she's the development construction coordinator. 2109 03:32:49,140 --> 03:32:53,120 We have Mr. Jack Hollin with the MBNA, who is the lead architect on the project. 2110 03:32:53,800 --> 03:32:59,640 Trinney Rodriguez with Parker and Regas Landscape, and she's the landscape architect on this project. 2111 03:33:00,240 --> 03:33:07,060 Matthew Jones with Boulder Engineering, he's the PE, and we have Mr. Mike Lenhardt, who is a traffic engineer. 2112 03:33:07,060 --> 03:33:15,520 We also have G.S. Proctor and Associates who helped us with other aspects and Mr. GFVs that 2113 03:33:15,520 --> 03:33:16,400 was here on there, we have. 2114 03:33:17,640 --> 03:33:18,500 That's who we are. 2115 03:33:18,600 --> 03:33:19,280 That's our team. 2116 03:33:19,800 --> 03:33:24,740 Again, we have worked very hard on this project and as you've heard, this project has been 2117 03:33:24,740 --> 03:33:25,580 a long time coming. 2118 03:33:25,900 --> 03:33:31,640 This board approved a site plan back in 2005, which, from a time to the purposes, is not too 2119 03:33:31,640 --> 03:33:35,300 dissimilar from what you see before you with some significant changes. 2120 03:33:36,220 --> 03:33:41,980 Primarily, the 176th presidential unit, we've removed and the parking garage, we've reduced, 2121 03:33:42,060 --> 03:33:45,240 based upon that from 660 to about 289. 2122 03:33:46,420 --> 03:33:52,680 So that is the request before you to amend that approved prior approval to allow this 2123 03:33:52,680 --> 03:33:54,660 development to move forward. 2124 03:33:55,400 --> 03:34:02,200 Before I get into any more, I do want to also echo Mr. Meritabore's comments with respect 2125 03:34:02,200 --> 03:34:03,240 to your staff. 2126 03:34:03,240 --> 03:34:13,240 We have worked very hard and long cordially with both urban design staff, transportation staff, and all of your staff is a whole community planning. 2127 03:34:13,940 --> 03:34:17,280 Particularly Mrs. The Rouge has been wonderful on this project. 2128 03:34:18,160 --> 03:34:24,520 We are under a very tight time constraint, which is why we've requested the resolution on the same day. 2129 03:34:24,980 --> 03:34:30,480 And we have all worked collectively, all parties involved that you heard speech today on that. 2130 03:34:30,480 --> 03:34:36,260 And I think because of that, you'll see when I have my one exhibit that 2131 03:34:36,260 --> 03:34:38,880 requests the changes are very, very minor. 2132 03:34:40,500 --> 03:34:43,480 So, let me just highlight some key points. 2133 03:34:43,620 --> 03:34:46,060 Mr. Roos did a fantastic job in her staff report, 2134 03:34:46,540 --> 03:34:47,360 outlining everything. 2135 03:34:47,800 --> 03:34:49,000 We do have four amendments. 2136 03:34:50,440 --> 03:34:51,880 Three, I guess you could consider. 2137 03:34:51,920 --> 03:34:53,740 You're working from her revised conditions. 2138 03:34:53,840 --> 03:34:55,040 We have her revised conditions. 2139 03:34:55,840 --> 03:34:59,900 So, I don't want to jump the gun, but my exhibit, which I want to 2140 03:35:04,360 --> 03:35:10,140 So we're kind of taking the staff report conditions and putting them on the back burner for now. 2141 03:35:11,520 --> 03:35:16,240 But as Mr. Ruse indicated, we do have four amendments in the TDP. 2142 03:35:17,720 --> 03:35:22,820 One is the amendment to the table of uses, which is table 17 on page 144. 2143 03:35:22,820 --> 03:35:29,520 The second one is to reduce the minimum building height in sub-aryx, sub-aryx3. 2144 03:35:29,840 --> 03:35:35,700 The third is to reduce the bill to line and pedestrian streetscape, which are actually two and one. 2145 03:35:37,320 --> 03:35:39,680 That's P1 and P52. 2146 03:35:40,580 --> 03:35:45,980 And then the fourth one is an amendment to S8 in the T2DP, which is figure seven on page 33. 2147 03:35:46,240 --> 03:35:47,060 Okay, that's that. 2148 03:35:47,100 --> 03:35:48,280 Just let's just let's set that up again. 2149 03:35:48,280 --> 03:35:55,440 Okay, one is the revision to the use table on page 144 of the TDP. 2150 03:35:56,140 --> 03:35:56,480 Oh, those. 2151 03:35:57,280 --> 03:35:57,840 Okay. 2152 03:36:02,220 --> 03:36:02,640 Okay. 2153 03:36:03,480 --> 03:36:04,280 One way. 2154 03:36:04,480 --> 03:36:04,660 One way. 2155 03:36:04,980 --> 03:36:05,360 Okay. 2156 03:36:07,540 --> 03:36:12,200 And these are all reflected in the service staff report, which we wholeheartedly agree with. 2157 03:36:12,460 --> 03:36:13,360 So I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. 2158 03:36:13,360 --> 03:36:13,800 I don't know. 2159 03:36:15,200 --> 03:36:20,200 And she did a great job of cutting a pay, including our justification for that. 2160 03:36:20,200 --> 03:36:21,820 So I'm just outlining them. 2161 03:36:21,840 --> 03:36:23,720 Again, one is to revise table of uses. 2162 03:36:24,360 --> 03:36:26,540 The other one is to reduce the minimum building height 2163 03:36:26,540 --> 03:36:28,760 from four stories to one story. 2164 03:36:29,760 --> 03:36:33,760 Three is to reduce the bill to line and pedestrian street 2165 03:36:33,760 --> 03:36:35,400 scape along around the four sandwiches 2166 03:36:35,400 --> 03:36:38,580 are reduction from 28 feet to 20 feet. 2167 03:36:39,160 --> 03:36:42,580 And then the fourth and final one is to remove the requirement 2168 03:36:42,580 --> 03:36:45,420 to have a double row of street trees along East West Highway, 2169 03:36:45,540 --> 03:36:47,540 which is figure seven in S8. 2170 03:36:48,680 --> 03:36:48,740 OK. 2171 03:36:49,420 --> 03:36:49,980 OK. 2172 03:36:50,200 --> 03:37:09,400 I think the staff report and the justification statement and as the roots of summary of each of those amendments is more than adequate and how it'd be happy to accept them as our position and testimony here and incorporate and adopt our justification to those so we can speak this along. 2173 03:37:10,240 --> 03:37:17,800 Kind of buttressing what Mr. Commissioner Shove as Mr. Chandler with respect to the residential units and impact on retail. 2174 03:37:17,840 --> 03:37:23,880 I do have some some failures and percentages currently right now excluding the movie theater, 2175 03:37:24,060 --> 03:37:27,620 which the movie theater operates kind of differently than the other retail. 2176 03:37:28,360 --> 03:37:33,660 Excluding the movie theater, there's about a 60% vacancy in retail at the university town center. 2177 03:37:37,520 --> 03:37:41,880 With respect to the existing residential, this is from a Washington Post article that I pulled. 2178 03:37:41,880 --> 03:37:52,500 It's a couple of years old, but I don't think it's changed all too much in the last two years given the recession and the lack of anything going on in UTC, but according to that post article 2179 03:37:53,780 --> 03:38:03,060 There were only 37 of the 112 units in independent plaza or sold, so so 37 of the 112 had been sold 2180 03:38:04,560 --> 03:38:09,000 The plaza lost 22, which was the 22 luxury unit building 2181 03:38:09,000 --> 03:38:12,220 there were a hundred percent vacancy. 2182 03:38:14,900 --> 03:38:17,720 What Mr. Chandler provided, 2183 03:38:24,350 --> 03:38:26,150 you're indulged, you're indulged is one second. 2184 03:38:27,670 --> 03:38:32,590 What Mr. Chandler provided, which we included in our justification statement, so I thank him for this research, 2185 03:38:34,270 --> 03:38:40,510 is in the TDOZ area, which is all the sub areas, including this one. 2186 03:38:40,510 --> 03:38:45,090 There are either open, under construction, or proposed, 2187 03:38:45,270 --> 03:38:48,610 4,461 residential units. 2188 03:38:50,870 --> 03:38:54,110 So, having the 176 units included in this process 2189 03:38:54,110 --> 03:38:55,370 doesn't make sense anymore. 2190 03:38:56,370 --> 03:38:58,690 And it's the primary reason why it never 2191 03:38:58,690 --> 03:39:00,450 before to begin with the 2005. 2192 03:39:01,310 --> 03:39:04,430 So, to move this forward and to get the much needed anchor 2193 03:39:04,430 --> 03:39:07,910 at UTC, we've requested that this amendment 2194 03:39:07,910 --> 03:39:09,890 to remove those hundred or seventy-six units. 2195 03:39:12,290 --> 03:39:17,330 Any commercial retail developer will tell you, you need to have a strong anchor for the 2196 03:39:17,330 --> 03:39:18,790 survivability of any project. 2197 03:39:19,670 --> 03:39:24,930 And although there are probably a hundred reasons why UTC has failed, the primary reason 2198 03:39:26,050 --> 03:39:31,830 were severe development of the states coupled with the market, but mainly the development 2199 03:39:31,830 --> 03:39:32,270 of the states. 2200 03:39:32,270 --> 03:39:35,770 And not to throw Bloomberg family or anyone who 2201 03:39:36,610 --> 03:39:39,450 preceded us under the bus, but it was built inside 2202 03:39:39,450 --> 03:39:41,170 out, said about side-in. 2203 03:39:41,750 --> 03:39:43,430 So when you travel up and on East West Highway, 2204 03:39:43,570 --> 03:39:46,710 and within UTC, there's no indication, there's no 2205 03:39:46,710 --> 03:39:50,170 announcement that this is a commercial retail establishment 2206 03:39:50,890 --> 03:39:52,470 as envisioned by the TDP. 2207 03:39:53,690 --> 03:39:55,430 This probably should have been, I think, 2208 03:39:55,470 --> 03:39:58,250 we can all agree that this should have been the first thing 2209 03:39:58,250 --> 03:39:59,670 that was done, and then everything 2210 03:39:59,670 --> 03:40:02,210 and subsequently after within UTC developed. 2211 03:40:02,550 --> 03:40:03,390 That's not what happened. 2212 03:40:04,090 --> 03:40:05,810 And then with the exists with the development 2213 03:40:05,810 --> 03:40:07,110 of the residential buildings, 2214 03:40:07,190 --> 03:40:10,390 it shut it off from Precious Plaza, which didn't help. 2215 03:40:11,150 --> 03:40:13,130 So we believe that there is a critical mass 2216 03:40:13,130 --> 03:40:16,670 whether existing or in combination with what's proposed 2217 03:40:16,670 --> 03:40:20,850 to support all the retail that's existing and vacant 2218 03:40:20,850 --> 03:40:22,810 as well as our retail and conjunction 2219 03:40:22,810 --> 03:40:24,850 with all the additional development 2220 03:40:24,850 --> 03:40:27,170 that's going to be occurring in and around this area. 2221 03:40:28,370 --> 03:40:34,610 So, what this project does, it does so much more than just develop parcel S. 2222 03:40:34,830 --> 03:40:39,370 And that's what we, and I think you've heard from the support from the town, as well as the city, 2223 03:40:39,910 --> 03:40:44,130 and the fact that we've had nothing but support from any community that we've mentioned. 2224 03:40:44,650 --> 03:40:48,010 This project, you know, rising tide raises all ships. 2225 03:40:48,470 --> 03:40:52,870 And this project we believe will be the catalyst to actually save UTC. 2226 03:40:52,870 --> 03:41:01,130 and also energize the ability for parcel and hopefully to come online with a new development 2227 03:41:01,130 --> 03:41:03,510 so you actually have that street wall streetscape. 2228 03:41:04,390 --> 03:41:09,230 So, again, although we're looking at this just for parcel S, I really hope that the board 2229 03:41:09,230 --> 03:41:11,770 takes into account the actual overall global impact. 2230 03:41:12,110 --> 03:41:16,870 This one project will have on Piedsville University Town Center as well as the University Park. 2231 03:41:16,870 --> 03:41:26,010 So, with that, let's there specific questions I'd like to have our revised findings and 2232 03:41:26,010 --> 03:41:29,630 conditions introduced as applicants exhibit one. 2233 03:41:30,190 --> 03:41:32,590 Okay, let's see if there are any questions at this juncture. 2234 03:41:33,070 --> 03:41:33,250 I'm 2235 03:41:37,790 --> 03:41:42,050 sorry, 2236 03:41:50,560 --> 03:41:50,680 Commissioner. 2237 03:41:50,900 --> 03:41:52,340 Thank you, Mr. F. 2238 03:41:52,340 --> 03:42:02,680 to discuss. Just a few questions. One on the structure is I think obviously very well designed. 2239 03:42:03,200 --> 03:42:10,300 I guess I was curious if you'd gotten any comments from the CDC building or tenants 2240 03:42:10,300 --> 03:42:19,640 or the adjacent church on the corner with respect to the project or its design. And I guess what 2241 03:42:19,640 --> 03:42:25,000 getting at is whether there's some architectural enhancements that were considered or might be 2242 03:42:25,000 --> 03:42:33,300 adventurous with the east and north sort of parts of the structure. And I think we had heard 2243 03:42:33,300 --> 03:42:44,380 in our previous application today, some notion of screening landscape screening type materials. 2244 03:42:45,020 --> 03:42:49,600 I don't know if those types of enhancements were considered or might be of interest. I guess 2245 03:42:49,600 --> 03:42:56,400 concern with is this is this is a budding the front of a major office building. I know they 2246 03:42:56,400 --> 03:43:04,660 they probably use other entrances and exits as well to like a Samarit Boulevard. But it looked like 2247 03:43:04,660 --> 03:43:11,500 it was fairly you know more of a parking structure on that side for where it faces the office building 2248 03:43:11,500 --> 03:43:17,720 and I didn't know if there were any comments from that tenant on this long. The short answer to 2249 03:43:17,720 --> 03:43:23,640 questions. We provide all the notices required by law as well as your procedures and policies. 2250 03:43:24,780 --> 03:43:31,120 I, we were never contacted by anyone of the, the owners of Metro 3. The, the only, we, 2251 03:43:31,280 --> 03:43:36,640 I did receive a phone call from Representative Wells Fargo, who owns Parsleyland. He took 2252 03:43:36,640 --> 03:43:43,060 a back and a foreclosure sale. But it wasn't worth respect to architecture. It was a parking 2253 03:43:43,060 --> 03:43:47,400 question, as well as the town of University Park in the City of High School. 2254 03:43:48,100 --> 03:43:51,660 So no other, we were not contacted by anyone else with respect to that. 2255 03:43:52,100 --> 03:43:58,060 Consideration, however, was given with respect to the East property line. 2256 03:43:58,240 --> 03:44:04,220 There was a prior condition regarding landscaping and a wall feature adjacent to the church 2257 03:44:04,220 --> 03:44:04,640 property. 2258 03:44:05,520 --> 03:44:08,840 What we're proposing is a little different design. 2259 03:44:08,840 --> 03:44:24,200 We think it actually is superior to the what was previously approved. The previous approval kind of had a wall that had some wave detail to it as far as the way it went to travel north the south and the plantings. 2260 03:44:24,880 --> 03:44:37,840 We've actually increased the plantings along that side and we've got a two-tiered wall to provide a flat space to actually provide more plantings from the eastern property line and the church property to screen democracy and then that side of 2261 03:44:37,840 --> 03:44:44,420 the garage insurance. The north side of the building, as Mr. Ruth indicated, along the 2262 03:44:44,420 --> 03:44:51,180 front edge of Metro 3, there is on their front edge, there is sidewalk and plantings 2263 03:44:51,180 --> 03:44:58,240 to soften that up, but we've also wrapped what Mr. Ruth's calls building be, which we've 2264 03:44:58,240 --> 03:44:59,980 on the plants building, be wrapped at a... 2265 03:45:01,500 --> 03:45:22,300 Around America and along liberty, because we think that's a key corner right there, because that enables pedestrians within UTC to come down and access the top level of our, whether it's office or retail as well as the street level retail. There's a vestibule in there with an elevator. 2266 03:45:22,300 --> 03:45:29,520 So you can get up to the top floor of vice versa, people coming out of the safe way you park on the top of the store on the structure parking 2267 03:45:29,520 --> 03:45:35,600 can come across down into that vestibule and then write on to the corner of America's and liberty. 2268 03:45:36,120 --> 03:45:43,480 And you're pretty much half a block away from the heart of where the movie theater is and the main circular class of UTC. 2269 03:45:45,100 --> 03:45:52,280 So although we weren't contacting or requested, I believe we've done more than our level best to address those types of 2270 03:45:52,280 --> 03:45:59,100 questions and concerns. Yeah, I guess I don't know exactly what the view is from that building, 2271 03:46:00,360 --> 03:46:05,600 but I think most of the tenants actually have an elevated view down, but at least around the 2272 03:46:05,600 --> 03:46:12,860 entrance and exit. You know, I know that those perpendicular streets are supposed to be more like 2273 03:46:12,860 --> 03:46:19,160 alleys, but that's pretty much the view of the office building right there that we're looking at. 2274 03:46:19,160 --> 03:46:22,800 I mean, I guess the flip side of that coin also, 2275 03:46:22,820 --> 03:46:27,420 for Mr. Schrovis, because we've removed the 176, 2276 03:46:27,660 --> 03:46:31,060 11, 17th story, those office workers still have daylight 2277 03:46:31,060 --> 03:46:32,960 and views going out to East West, 2278 03:46:33,040 --> 03:46:35,780 and we haven't covered that, but, you know, 2279 03:46:35,780 --> 03:46:37,840 so that's another way of looking at it. 2280 03:46:40,220 --> 03:46:43,840 So, with that, I would just move to have applicants 2281 03:46:43,840 --> 03:46:45,100 unless there's any other questions, 2282 03:46:45,300 --> 03:46:47,020 applicants exhibit one, introduce, 2283 03:46:47,020 --> 03:46:52,500 which is a request for a revised finding and a revised condition, and I have one addition to 2284 03:46:52,500 --> 03:47:00,500 add to this as well. Okay, let's have your proposed revised conditions, Mark. Well, you've 2285 03:47:00,500 --> 03:47:04,240 pretty marked it. It's accepted into the record as applicants of the number one. Okay, and you 2286 03:47:04,240 --> 03:47:09,500 have a question too. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And maybe perhaps you were about to do this 2287 03:47:09,500 --> 03:47:12,800 this yesterday. Let's go. But I would appreciate your comments with regards to the two additional 2288 03:47:12,800 --> 03:47:14,740 were class from university park? 2289 03:47:14,880 --> 03:47:17,480 Yes, that was my one addition to this. 2290 03:47:17,520 --> 03:47:18,760 Yes, of course. 2291 03:47:19,320 --> 03:47:23,000 And Mayor Subore reminded me when I handed him this exhibit, 2292 03:47:23,720 --> 03:47:25,880 so I will address it. 2293 03:47:27,200 --> 03:47:31,240 The first, the first, on page one, which is all underline and blue, 2294 03:47:31,240 --> 03:47:33,680 and what I did is I try to make it easier for everyone. 2295 03:47:34,360 --> 03:47:38,080 Blue and underline is addition, red and struck out is deletion, 2296 03:47:38,520 --> 03:47:40,940 which we don't have any deletions, they're all additions. 2297 03:47:40,940 --> 03:47:49,000 But the first one is a request for a required finding, which is shown on page 8. 2298 03:47:49,220 --> 03:47:49,440 I'm sorry. 2299 03:47:55,850 --> 03:47:56,870 I had 10 copies. 2300 03:47:57,190 --> 03:47:57,910 I thought I didn't know. 2301 03:47:58,050 --> 03:47:58,070 Yeah. 2302 03:47:58,590 --> 03:47:58,890 I said that. 2303 03:47:58,990 --> 03:47:59,210 We're good. 2304 03:47:59,570 --> 03:47:59,850 They're up there. 2305 03:48:04,640 --> 03:48:07,640 And I reviewed all these with staff, both Mr. 2306 03:48:07,640 --> 03:48:10,280 The Bruce and Mr. Tory previously. 2307 03:48:11,140 --> 03:48:14,500 Basically, the first request is for an additional finding. 2308 03:48:14,500 --> 03:48:27,740 And I will tell you where it says transportation conclusions from little sea all the way to the bottom of number one in parentheses. 2309 03:48:28,560 --> 03:48:36,660 That is straight from Mr. McCarty's referral. And what we're doing there is in the staff report under this particular section. 2310 03:48:36,660 --> 03:48:44,120 Mr. Ruse, just indicated, you know, she decided to this referral as in the backup. 2311 03:48:45,120 --> 03:48:50,720 So for the resolution, I think the intent is to include this language from the referral 2312 03:48:50,720 --> 03:48:56,860 into your resolution with the additional language of the last paragraph on the first page. 2313 03:48:56,860 --> 03:48:58,000 That makes sense. 2314 03:48:58,000 --> 03:49:08,460 So, I guess what I'm saying is, little C1 and then item 1 is that's all from your transportation staff. 2315 03:49:08,780 --> 03:49:09,300 That's me. 2316 03:49:09,300 --> 03:49:11,560 I used to monitor and have a chance to read it. 2317 03:49:13,540 --> 03:49:14,780 And then you're adding. 2318 03:49:15,340 --> 03:49:22,760 And then we're requesting that the language below that which starts with the planning board does not adopt the above condition because the applicant will bond. 2319 03:49:22,760 --> 03:49:27,460 and I think it was for, we're asking for that to be included into your resolution as a finding. 2320 03:49:28,440 --> 03:49:36,520 And the reason for that is a condition for the left turn lane with a light is, and here accounts, 2321 03:49:36,620 --> 03:49:43,520 I can advise you on this, but this is a detailed side point, although this will try to indicate not to be formed, 2322 03:49:44,000 --> 03:49:49,620 but they look at circulation as far as adequacy for the TDP, adequacy is based upon parking. 2323 03:49:49,620 --> 03:49:55,220 And so the language of what's proposed as a condition really is what you would typically 2324 03:49:55,220 --> 03:49:59,180 see in a preliminary plan of subdivision for an adequacy of transportation finding. 2325 03:49:59,600 --> 03:50:05,540 You would require the bonding improvement or what have you prior to a building permit. 2326 03:50:05,900 --> 03:50:11,040 This project can be built with or without the left turn lane regardless of whether SHA 2327 03:50:11,040 --> 03:50:11,860 or proves it or not. 2328 03:50:12,320 --> 03:50:17,280 And I think what Mr. Chobori, this kind of goes into the item number two, Mr. Chobori's 2329 03:50:17,280 --> 03:50:23,260 the purpose and I think the purpose and intent of making this requested condition by Mr. 2330 03:50:23,360 --> 03:50:29,240 Victoria was, if SHA grants the meeting break in the left turn, which they've indicated 2331 03:50:29,240 --> 03:50:33,180 at least on the left turn, they are inclined to do. They're still vetting the meeting 2332 03:50:33,180 --> 03:50:38,580 break.

04:03:12,320 One thing that I'm not sure we've discussed yet is sort of the pedestrian circulation. 2505 04:03:13,960 --> 04:03:20,860 One of the first, I should be complimentary, you know, if there's any, if there's a personal 2506 04:03:20,860 --> 04:03:24,820 example of the need for complete streets, this is it, because I walk in front of this property 2507 04:03:24,820 --> 04:03:32,380 almost in a daily basis, and I will be much appreciated in the sidewalk, I'll go in there. 2508 04:03:32,960 --> 04:03:41,120 But what I've observed also is the occasional pedestrian crossing east west highway midblock, 2509 04:03:41,120 --> 04:03:49,940 And so I'm mindful of that with the anchor moving in and also with what has been, I guess, 2510 04:03:51,060 --> 04:03:57,360 directed west of Bellcrest with the fence near the pedestrian bridge. 2511 04:03:58,560 --> 04:04:08,140 So that may be a little outside of our ability to influence here, but there might be a need for 2512 04:04:08,140 --> 04:04:15,420 consideration of the similar fence on the median, at some point there, between, I guess, this 2513 04:04:15,420 --> 04:04:20,600 property and the other side of East West Highway, because that does seem to happen. 2514 04:04:21,000 --> 04:04:27,320 There's some parking, I think, there with one of the churches that sometimes used for, I 2515 04:04:27,320 --> 04:04:35,820 think, the community college or other areas nearby, so there's some pedestrian activity 2516 04:04:35,820 --> 04:04:44,240 It goes across east west, so I don't know if this is the point to necessarily put in the 2517 04:04:44,240 --> 04:04:49,900 fence, but I would certainly like to highlight that as a concern, it might become more 2518 04:04:49,900 --> 04:04:51,180 prominent over time. 2519 04:04:53,840 --> 04:05:00,700 The other thing I'd just highlight as well is the anchor tenant safely that's coming in 2520 04:05:00,700 --> 04:05:08,360 than fairly proactive, I think nationally, in the region, specifically with some of its environmental aspects. 2521 04:05:08,540 --> 04:05:15,560 I think some of these are noted in the staff report, but I just also mentioned that, but we've, it's 2522 04:05:15,560 --> 04:05:24,700 the Fezda and only establishments have obtained a legal certification, which I think is outstanding. 2523 04:05:24,700 --> 04:05:29,280 And hopefully there might be something along those lines planned here. 2524 04:05:29,740 --> 04:05:35,460 And I didn't know if that was already determined or planned if you had any insights on that as well. 2525 04:05:36,420 --> 04:05:40,980 And this comes up on other cases that we've had and we've discussed as you know, 2526 04:05:41,280 --> 04:05:46,860 and the board knows you don't qualify or get certification until the project is constructed. 2527 04:05:47,500 --> 04:05:53,240 However, we do intend to incorporate meet elements towards a scorecard. 2528 04:05:53,240 --> 04:05:58,420 We don't quite know how we're going to actually calculate out, but, you know, we're doing 2529 04:05:58,420 --> 04:05:58,800 thing. 2530 04:05:59,120 --> 04:06:03,340 First of all, most, you know, we are meeting the 10% TCC requirement, which on the 2531 04:06:03,340 --> 04:06:07,520 infill urban development is a lot harder than it sounds. 2532 04:06:07,920 --> 04:06:13,160 We are meeting that, which incorporates some redelements, stormwater management through ESD, 2533 04:06:13,260 --> 04:06:14,140 quantity and quality. 2534 04:06:14,700 --> 04:06:17,820 That's important, and the town was very interested in that. 2535 04:06:17,820 --> 04:06:32,980 We're doing 100% quantity for a 100-year storm quantity as well as 50% of additional impervious and 100% of existing impervious. 2536 04:06:33,960 --> 04:06:44,460 We intend to use low emitting materials, water-efficient landscaping, kind of like a trip element, construction, waste management practices, reduction of light pollution. 2537 04:06:44,460 --> 04:06:59,060 There's a condition in the approval to reduce the foot canals along democracy along the church side, the public alternate transportation being set close to the metro, community connectivity and site selection for infill. 2538 04:06:59,940 --> 04:07:06,740 So, I don't know what those are going to score out as, but we are looking at those through MBA and the architect as well as our landscape design. 2539 04:07:06,740 --> 04:07:14,640 So I can't answer definitively right now, but there are green elements that we would count towards lead within this project. 2540 04:07:20,650 --> 04:07:26,990 So with that, I would just respectfully request the board's approval, including the amendments as well as the revised condition and finding. 2541 04:07:27,510 --> 04:07:28,490 Thank you. 2542 04:07:28,730 --> 04:07:28,790 Thank you. 2543 04:07:28,790 --> 04:07:29,550 Any other questions? 2544 04:07:29,770 --> 04:07:31,350 Mr. Tidesko at this time. 2545 04:07:31,570 --> 04:07:32,310 Anyone else? 2546 04:07:32,830 --> 04:07:32,890 Okay. 2547 04:07:33,210 --> 04:07:33,790 Thank you. 2548 04:07:33,850 --> 04:07:34,450 Thank you. 2549 04:07:36,430 --> 04:07:36,690 Motion. 2550 04:07:37,570 --> 04:07:42,210 Madam Chair, I would like to move that we adopt the findings of staff. 2551 04:07:42,210 --> 04:08:11,570 And recommend to the district council approval of a request that changes to the use table and the minimum height of the building and approve amendments to P1 P52 and S-8 and approve DSP-05084-02 along with the Associated Conditions is outlined in SAS memo dated October 2552 04:08:11,570 --> 04:08:21,130 24, 24, and as revised or augmented as outlined and applicant exhibit number one, there 2553 04:08:21,130 --> 04:08:30,190 will be a change to transportation-related finding as well as revision to condition one 2554 04:08:30,190 --> 04:08:40,370 I and a new condition one zero, which was read into the record earlier, but I guess for the 2555 04:08:40,370 --> 04:08:46,890 take a clarity. I'll restate it and it reads as follows.
