[0:00] Thanks, and welcome to the May 27, 2025. Town of Danville Planning Commission meeting on Lu Palundraini, the current chair of the Planning Commission.

[0:10] And I'd like my fellow commissioners to introduce themselves.

[0:15] Paul Reddish, Planning Commissioner.

[0:17] Chris Trujillo, Planning Commissioner.

[0:19] Mark Graham, Planning Commissioner.

[0:21] Archivol's Vice Chair.

[0:23] Ian Hawker, Planning Commissioner.

[0:25] All right, thank you.

[0:27] David, are there any changes to the order of the agenda?

[0:31] No changes.

[0:34] The next part of the agenda is for the good of the town, and this is an opportunity for the community to address an issue that may not be on the agenda.

[0:44] So, if anybody has that type of issue, please,

[0:53] in the meeting. Right now, the only speaker card I have relates to a gender item 5.1.

[1:02] With nobody presenting a speaker card, we'll close that item and move on to item 4

[1:07] of the agenda, which is the consent portion of the calendar.

[1:15] This is where items

[1:18] can have a vote as to consent of agreement on it. The one item that we have under

[1:23] The consent portion of the agenda is to consider approval of the summary of actions from the regular planning commission meeting of April 22, 2025

[1:33] Do I have a motion to approve?

[1:36] Commissioner Graham I move approval of the current of the consent calendar second second from Commissioner Trujillo

[1:43] All in favor. I

[1:49] Passes

[1:49] Okay, now we come to item 5.1 of our meeting and

[1:53] And this issue relates to resolution number 2025-04, which would be

[2:01] approving the development plan request dv24-009, allowing the development

[2:08] of the IV, a 105 unit assisted living facility, and the tree removal

[2:14] permit request tr25-0013 to allow the removal of five town protected trees.

[2:22] The property is located at 828 Diablo Road, currently occupied by a slow garden center, and our project planner is Riley Anderson Barrett.

[2:33] So I will turn it over to the town staff, David Riley.

[2:38] Right.

[2:38] Thank you.

[2:39] Good evening, Chair Powell and Drone and Commissioners.

[2:43] So we are here to talk about 828 Diablo Road, which is known as the IV proposal for an assisted living facility.

[2:52] So we'll go over a quick overview, including a project summary, reviewing the general plan and zoning

[2:58] compliance of the project, reviewing state housing laws and our housing element, as well

[3:03] as density bonus and waivers, we'll also review some design improvements that we've seen

[3:09] and seek a categorical exemption of the project as well as traffic and then we will be open for

[3:15] questions.

[3:18] Quick summary of the project, it's on a 2.72 acre parcel, which is currently home to the

[3:24] Slope Garden Center.

[3:25] The applicant is proposing 105 units, 75 of which will be assisted living, and 30 will

[3:32] be memory care units.

[3:34] The building is 112,12,124 square feet, and it is three stories.

[3:41] And this project was reviewed by the design review board.

[3:45] It went to them on March 13th, as well as April 10th of this year.

[3:49] And the architecture landscaping and overall design was recommended for approval for the planning commission.

[3:59] This project does meet general planning and zoning compliance.

[4:03] It is zoned and 35, which is multi-family high-density special district.

[4:08] It was reasoned as part of our most recent housing element.

[4:13] This parcel is zone for residential multi-family,

[4:17] which has a density of 30 to 35 units per acre for the minimum maximum.

[4:24] But the applicant is proposing 38.6 units per acre using density bonus.

[4:31] So this would be an additional 10 units and 10.5 percent increase.

[4:37] And now I will have David discuss some housing laws.

[4:42] Good evening once again.

[4:44] I wanted to take just a moment to kind of go back

[4:47] and highlight some of the state housing laws

[4:50] that in a very large way affect our ability

[4:56] to review this project the way that we might have five or ten years ago.

[5:00] There's a lot of state laws that kind of preempt us in our review.

[5:03] And especially over the last five or 10 years, there's been dozens and dozens of state laws.

[5:08] But I want to highlight just a few of them here.

[5:10] So one of them is the state housing element laws.

[5:14] I'm started back in 1969.

[5:15] We just finished our sixth cycle.

[5:17] They're housing elements going eight year cycles.

[5:20] I'm going to talk more about that in a moment.

[5:22] Housing and accountability act.

[5:24] Housing crisis act.

[5:25] The state has declared a housing crisis in California.

[5:30] And therefore all of these laws.

[5:31] The basically aim of these laws is they're calling them anti-nambulas and the really the aim is to make them very difficult not to approve at a local level.

[5:43] They basically say that we can only look at objective diplomacy on it so we can only look at stuff like setbacks and height.

[5:49] We're not allowed to look at stuff subjective standards like design.

[5:54] Luckily we've had a couple of really cooperative applicants that have worked with us quite a bit on design so that's great.

[6:00] There's also streamlining effects, and so once an application is deemed to be complete,

[6:06] we only have 90 days to take a final action on it.

[6:10] We're going to call five public hearings.

[6:13] If we don't during that time, it'll be deemed approved by default.

[6:18] A UL, most of you will remember that as process video,

[6:21] it's just went through for the six cycle housing element.

[6:24] This is the 23 to 31 housing element that was approved by the stage just over a year ago.

[6:30] It's a process that starts at the state level, and again, the state has declared a housing crisis.

[6:36] And so each housing element cycle, one of the big lifts is that every city is given what's called the Rina regional housing needs assessment.

[6:46] And so we're tasked with accommodating a certain number of housing units in our community over the next eight years.

[6:51] So, as part of this cycle, the state of California gave A-Bag our regional 9-county

[6:57] barrier housing agency, 4,441,176 units to accommodate in this eight-year cycle that

[7:05] ends in 2021.

[7:08] And so, as part of that process, A-Bag went through a methodology, and they signed the town

[7:11] of Danville, 2,241 units.

[7:14] And those are at different affordable income levels.

[7:17] Some of them have to be very low income, some low income, some moderate.

[7:21] and some above a moderate income.

[7:23] The end of the deal did appeal that assignment.

[7:26] A number of cities did.

[7:27] We felt like most of the things

[7:30] that the housing units should be prioritized

[7:33] to be placed near where the jobs are.

[7:37] That would limit highway impacts,

[7:40] driving impacts as well as greenhouse gas impacts

[7:43] that were also mandated to reduce.

[7:45] We lost that appeal as to all the other cities.

[7:48] But I want to emphasize that Danville doesn't build homes, and we have no control over whether

[7:53] a private property owner built homes.

[7:55] And so really all our job was to make sure that we have enough land that's owned at

[8:00] high enough density to accommodate that 2,000 to 4,000 to 4,000 to 4,000 units.

[8:05] So we didn't have enough land, and so through it to this four-year process, with a lot of public

[8:10] engagement, we ended up rezoning 70 plus parcels worldwide to most I found many houses, including

[8:16] this parcel at 8 to 8 Della.

[8:20] There are significant penalties for cities that don't comply with housing element law and

[8:24] or follow through with housing element law as far as permitting residential projects.

[8:30] First is court imposed fines of $100,000 a month.

[8:35] We can and other cities have lost their ability to issue any building permits.

[8:39] They put more time on your building department.

[8:42] They can mandate compliance.

[8:45] Basically, a judge can place a subtype of planning agency,

[8:52] consulting from to do your planning for you instead of, you know,

[8:54] the people that have worked in the community and

[8:58] know our community, we could have outside people trying to plan for us.

[9:02] And any lawsuit that we would lose, we would owe all of the attorney's fees.

[9:07] So there's, there's, some of these laws have been approved to put teeth into requiring cities to comply with the state law.

[9:16] The law that, um, has the largest effect on this project and some of the other projects that we are reviewing and have reviewed is the state density bonus law.

[9:25] This is a law that basically says that any project can add additional units to the project, even above and beyond the maximum under our general plan, which is 35 units naked.

[9:34] can add more units. They can, under state law, they can add up to, they can get up to

[9:39] a 50% density bonus is the max allowed under the law. And they can do that in exchange

[9:44] for providing certain levels of affordable housing along with it. However, senior housing is

[9:50] exempt from affordable units, so senior housing is also something that state wants, so if you do

[9:54] state, if you do senior housing, you get the density with no affordable requirements. Along with

[10:00] As you can see on us, applicants are also entitled to incentive

[10:04] concessions and waivers, unlimited for senior housing,

[10:08] basically unlimited number of waivers, and this is basically

[10:10] asking to reduce or eliminate development standards

[10:14] that might otherwise inhibit the development.

[10:18] And so those are things like height and story

[10:20] as a four-year ratio parking setbacks.

[10:24] And again, there's the state laws really

[10:27] It's a very narrowly defined how on what circumstance a city could deny a waiver.

[10:32] That's only made a finding based on evidence that we have that the waiver would result

[10:36] in adverse health and safety impacts to our community.

[10:41] So I'm going to turn back over to Riley to complete the presentation.

[10:46] So he just discussed these waivers.

[10:50] So the applicant has asked for three separate waivers, one of which would be for height our

[10:54] account ordinance says that the project should have an average height of 35 feet and the applicant is requesting an average height of 37 feet and six inches with a maximum height of 40 feet.

[11:06] And the height in our ordinance also states that 7.5% of the third story should be represented as two or two and a half stories, but 100% of the third story is three stories rather than two or two and a half.

[11:20] They also ask for a waiver of our retaining wall height, our ordinance states that the retaining wall should be a maximum of six feet, but they are requesting that the retaining wall on the western side, the rear of the property would range between six and a half to 13 and a half feet to accommodate for grading.

[11:41] And last is that the second and third story, our ordnance states that the side and rear

[11:48] set back of the second and third story should be 50 feet, but the applicant is requesting

[11:52] a minimum of 36 feet and 7 inches on the southern side and 128 to the rear of the property,

[12:02] which was on the Western side.

[12:06] And this project has gone through a fair amount of modifications with staff as well as when it went to the design review board.

[12:15] We revised the building design.

[12:18] A major difference was that they flipped the design of the building.

[12:22] So the drive aisle, which is originally on the northern side, is now on the southern side to give a larger set back between the building and the neighboring residences.

[12:32] and they also revise the roof line providing as well as combining cables, adding popouts and

[12:38] awnings to provide better articulation, and removing all of the third story balconies on

[12:43] the southern elevation to appease some of the residences and provide more privacy.

[12:49] They're also asking, sorry, they're also revising their landscaping, and they were asked

[12:55] to contract gross screening trees, so they will be participating in that so that they can

[13:00] plant additional screening trees, which will be larger and will accommodate for more privacy

[13:04] with the neighboring residences.

[13:09] They've also modified the building materials and colors and have changed them to be an

[13:14] off-white and an olive colored sighting.

[13:17] And lastly, they modified the lighting.

[13:19] They verified that all of the parking lot lighting will be dark sky compliant.

[13:23] And they reselected pathway lighting and wall sconces to eliminate some potential glare issues.

[13:30] They are requesting the removal of five protected trees.

[13:35] 91 trees are proposed for a removal in total and they will be required to mitigate removal

[13:40] of these five protected trees by planting onsite.

[13:48] Many projects are required to have environmental review and this type of project is considered

[13:54] an infill development because it is consistent with our general plan and zoning.

[13:58] it has no identified potentially significant environmental impacts and has existing access to public

[14:04] utilities such as water and sewer. So it is considered exempt under class 32 as an info development.

[14:13] As part of our ordinance, um, 35 districts are required to prepare various environmental studies

[14:19] and this project has done so such as traffic, hydrology, phase one study in geotechnical studies.

[14:27] A quick look at the traffic impact, a city was done and it reviewed that there would be no impact on the level of service to the surrounding intersections.

[14:37] It also determined that there would be no impacts to bicycle or pedestrians and that the project would allow us to maintain the counties standard for bicycles and pedestrians.

[14:52] And it also reviewed parking, and the applicant is proposing 60 parking spaces, where is the town would on.

[15:00] Number 437, and the ITE requirement would be 44, so they are exceeding the parking requirement.

[15:06] And there are no mitigations required, but improvements were suggested, which include a drive aisle

[15:12] delineation with a double yellow line at the driveway, as well as a stop sign installed at the driveway.

[15:19] And thank you. I am available for questions.

[15:22] Thanks, Riley. Thanks, David. Let me bring it back to the commission. Do any of the numbers have

[15:28] What's your question on the staff?

[15:31] Mr. Graham?

[15:33] In the traffic report, it said that there wasn't an impact.

[15:38] I know in the current environment, the drive aisle,

[15:42] the exit out of the current, slowed on the north side

[15:47] is a right turn only.

[15:49] And the one that's on further down.

[15:51] So they're going to keep that same access.

[15:53] Was it looked at to make that a right turn only given that

[15:56] the level of service out of that driveway is at F right now?

[15:59] Yes, I believe all of that was reviewed with our traffic division.

[16:05] I know they had discussions back and forth with the consultant, but more extensive traffic

[16:13] questions can go to their traffic consultant.

[16:15] Just to clarify, the existing northerly entrance is eliminated, so all we have is the southerly

[16:23] one at this point, and that would be a, it was studied to allow both directions.

[16:29] Sure.

[16:30] Wait, did they say on this Southern piece because they're collapsing it to two, or the

[16:33] collapsing from two to one on the south side of the site, they're going to have a right

[16:37] aim right out.

[16:38] Wasn't that what the traffic study recommended, and is not what they said they were going

[16:43] to do in the design?

[16:50] No, there was no concern about left, left, out, no concern about, okay.

[16:55] Yeah, they show on the plan, they can still make a left turn, they're down at that southern

[16:59] we got it. Okay. Drive a little. I miss under

[17:02] Senate. Wisher or Mr. Graham?

[17:05] Excuse me.

[17:06] I have a question regarding the facility.

[17:11] I'm assuming it's going to be a state license assisted living facility.

[17:15] And in that 55 years and older and will it be de-drospective?

[17:22] I don't know that we necessarily need to de-d.

[17:25] This, it's not usually we do that when it's going under our, you know,

[17:30] one of our ordinances are inclusionary housing ordinance,

[17:32] so what have you and we want to do a half-portal housing

[17:34] agreement.

[17:35] But this one, the way that it's set up and the way it's licensed

[17:38] and the way that it's funded, it's going to be a skill.

[17:43] It's going to be a assisted living facility,

[17:45] and it's going to be older people.

[17:47] I mean, if you want to be extra sure, I mean,

[17:51] who knows, maybe 25 years down the road,

[17:53] it morphs into something different.

[17:54] I mean, we could add a condition if that's what the commission

[17:57] And does I, and it's going to be for rent, not for own correct?

[18:01] All right.

[18:05] Any Fisher Advice?

[18:07] Was the, I looked at the Taricon report.

[18:10] There was, is the phase one study?

[18:12] Was that a limited phase one?

[18:13] Or was that a full phase one?

[18:15] I mean, it felt like, was it a full phase one?

[18:18] If I know they came back a second time for the phase one assessment.

[18:23] And then they discovered some things.

[18:26] but, you know, I guess there's different levels

[18:29] of a phase one, I don't know if Terricon's here to address that,

[18:33] but no.

[18:34] Yeah, potentially the applicant may be able to address that further,

[18:37] but there was a phase one and then they took it to another level

[18:40] to do the limited study and the different one board.

[18:44] Yeah, and so, you know, they did identify

[18:46] any other summaries of concerns, contaminated soils.

[18:50] And so the way that that works is that they'll need to get

[18:54] permits through the county hazardous materials, hazardous waste department.

[18:59] And so they would then be the permitting body, they have permits, they have ways of

[19:06] that needs to be done, they are out on the site inspecting as it is being done.

[19:10] And so basically, we know what kind of the parameters are, they will have to probably study

[19:15] a little bit further, but then they will have to go to that other agencies that expertise

[19:19] in this type of work to actually do the work and get permits and

[19:24] finals.

[19:29] Commissioner Bols.

[19:30] Just to follow up, I didn't read it in the report, but is there going to be post-medication

[19:34] testing as well?

[19:36] Now again, that would be part of the protocol that would be set up by the county.

[19:42] Any other questions?

[19:43] I assume the applicant has a presentation.

[19:45] Any other questions from the commission?

[19:49] Rather, we'll turn it back to you.

[19:50] And

[19:53] the applicant.

[20:14] Is that this all?

[20:16] That's all.

[20:21] You need to be turned off.

[20:26] Good evening.

[20:27] Here you go.

[20:28] There we go.

[20:29] I'll see you back a little bit.

[20:30] I do talk loud.

[20:32] Good evening, commissioner.

[20:34] Thank you everybody here tonight for allowing us to present.

[20:38] My name's Carissa Sabond.

[20:40] I am the Vice President of Development for Owen I.

[20:44] I actually have a lot of the team here.

[20:47] have our architect, landscape architect, the traffic engineer, and as well as Oakmont operations

[20:53] too, because through the community outreach we've had a lot of questions come up, so somebody

[20:58] here can answer them tonight.

[21:03] Yeah, basically, Riley, thank you for your presentation.

[21:05] I'm going to go through just a couple of things here fairly quickly.

[21:09] I think you had on everything, but we just wanted to talk through the outreach changes

[21:13] that were made to the plans, and then let me know if you guys have any further questions

[21:17] after that. So O&I Development is the California-based firm and we're focused exclusively

[21:23] on senior living. In partnership with our affiliate and operating company Oakmont Management

[21:29] Group, we have built a strong portfolio throughout California best in class assisted living

[21:34] in memory care communities. Oakmont is one of the most respected senior housing operators in the

[21:41] we're going to recognize for our high-tech resident care,

[21:44] experience leadership, and our operational excellence.

[21:48] Today we actually operate over 100 communities throughout California

[21:52] and we have a couple of locations in Nevada and Hawaii.

[21:58] So the IV at Danville,

[22:02] there we go.

[22:03] The IV at Danville is part of our strategic partnership with Well Tower.

[22:07] They're one of the largest, the largest,

[22:08] United States and globally, and combining their industry leading expert experience in health care

[22:16] with our development and operating capabilities, we offer a fully integrated approach to this.

[22:24] And I think it's important we say that because we are a owner operator and developer.

[22:29] So my team doesn't just come in through the development and permitting and then we leave.

[22:33] So we are long-term holders and we'll be the operators as well.

[22:38] This alignment truly enables us to thoughtfully design build and manage a high-quality communities

[22:44] with that long-term commitment I mentioned to the residents and the community.

[22:49] We're very proud of all the efforts that come into this project to date.

[22:53] It's been a lot of work and we started with two diligence and community outreach on the early onset.

[22:59] And then we've made a lot of the changes that Riley is addressed to make sure it's compatible with the neighborhood.

[23:13] So I don't want to be too repetitive with Riley, with what Riley presented, but yeah, we're proposing our 105 units.

[23:23] We started our outreach, and I think I'm going to just jump to that.

[23:26] We started our outreach efforts last September, and given the history on the site, the up zoning that happened to M35, we're aware of that.

[23:36] So we held in meeting back in October for the community and we heard all of the concerns

[23:43] that you've been listening to tonight, building high in massing, setbacks, privacy, landscaping,

[23:50] landscaping, the screening, the traffic impacts on that existing intersection.

[23:56] And then of course the zoning to the high density.

[24:00] We went back, we probably spent about eight weeks with our design team.

[24:05] We re-engineered the site, flipped the building, did some significant design changes in order

[24:13] to come back to the community and hopefully our message was we heard you, here's what we

[24:19] did.

[24:20] We incorporated everything that we could as long as our project was still going to be feasible.

[24:23] So the biggest one really touched on was obviously flipping the building.

[24:29] That single loaded corridor is now towards the south side where the homes are,

[24:34] which there's now not units facing out into, you know, there yards.

[24:40] With the building height too, because there was a lot of false information going around.

[24:45] Some of the community heard it was 45 feet, three and a half stories.

[24:49] It's not, it's three stories.

[24:50] The majority of our building is at 35 feet.

[24:53] There's a few gaples and peaks that are 37 up to 40.

[25:00] And then we went through the setbacks.

[25:01] We increased the south property line setback to gain another 10 feet.

[25:06] And with that, our landscape architect also increased the landscaping bed over there too.

[25:12] About another two feet.

[25:13] So we can plant more trees to help screen privacy, do the shrubbery,

[25:17] and everything like that when we go through permitting with the city.

[25:21] To touch a little bit on traffic and operations, we did hear a lot of concerns about the safety

[25:28] of that intersection and what's going on and the school down the street where we're involved

[25:32] this.

[25:34] So we are able to basically stagger our shifts so they're not doing shift changes at peak hours

[25:43] when everybody's on the road at 8 a.m. and everybody's off work at 5 and then when school

[25:47] gets out, you know, whatever time. So we do this often, especially when we're in like a residential

[25:53] infill area too. So, um, and we also told the community that we will, there's parking concerns

[26:00] on Benton Court too and that's their neighborhood and they don't want our, our associate's going

[26:04] over there and parking and creating problems over there. So, um, we will implement and work on a

[26:10] parking management plan, which is very common as well. And then like I said, we are a long-term

[26:15] So they can call us when they have all of our contact information if our problem would

[26:19] as a rise.

[26:22] Let's see if I'm missing anything on there.

[26:24] And I think on the landscape and the other thing I know with the trees, we're removing

[26:30] five protected trees.

[26:31] Three of them are due to poor health.

[26:34] Two of them are just part of the site design.

[26:38] But a lot of the trees on that, the site currently are in poor health.

[26:42] We are planting 145 trees when we develop this site.

[26:48] And that's going to be better fit.

[26:50] For the soils, they'll grow better.

[26:51] It's not going to be massive red woods by the sidewalks

[26:54] for the street.

[26:56] And we're really working together with the neighbors who have

[26:59] reached out so we can really focus on that project's

[27:02] the screening for them, too.

[27:08] And so I think I'll just kind of leave it here.

[27:10] So just kind of enclosing, too, I really

[27:13] do want to say, the community

[27:16] meeting, you know, good, bad and different. We appreciate all the feedback that we do get.

[27:21] We got good feedback from the DRB as well. To the extent possible, we went and did a lot of changes

[27:28] and spent a lot of time listening to the Danville community. You know, I think we're at some

[27:33] important, you know, we're not required to do that as a developer, but we truly look at this as we're

[27:36] coming in as a partner and a part of this community and we are arguing to be here long term. That

[27:41] I mean, we're able to listen when we can make changes

[27:45] when we can just to make sure our project,

[27:46] as long as our project isn't unfeasible.

[27:51] So I think I just quickly want to say thank you

[27:54] to the town too for all the collaboration and work

[27:56] that's gotten us to this here today.

[27:58] And we are happy to answer any more questions.

[28:00] Let's come up.

[28:02] Thank you.

[28:03] Let me bring it back to the commission

[28:05] if you could stay there, you might have to share.

[28:08] So I'll take some discussion with your team.

[28:10] I'm up here.

[28:12] Commissioner Bols.

[28:14] Can you explain, like, the redwoods on the corner of Diablo and El Cero that they're

[28:19] not actually on the site property, why they're listed for removal due to site incompatibility,

[28:25] That would just be, then, like, correct me if I'm wrong, but that would just be, it's just

[28:30] the design of the site.

[28:31] If it's not, it's so if they're not listed as poor health, it's just the site layout.

[28:36] Can you, in regards to grading, fences, walls, why?

[28:42] Where can you go through a quick, do, do you have the landscape?

[28:46] Yes, so the trees on the corner of the church.

[28:49] If you go up to the mic, please.

[28:51] Stay tuned.

[28:52] Blake Tomlos Reinhardt with Blocked Sun, the landscape architect.

[28:55] Thank you.

[28:56] So those three trees are going to be affected by the grading on the site.

[29:00] Due to that, by a retention of how the slope just needs to be graded,

[29:03] about half the trees group all will be impacted

[29:09] and that's once it go all the way up I'll

[29:12] Sarah including the valley oaks yes same thing there it's kind of all across all the trees along

[29:18] the frontage kind of same issue

[29:23] yeah so all the frontage and then even around on

[29:31] Diablo

[29:36] wish you true I was part of those DRB meetings and the drawings that we received

[29:43] for tonight's meeting or dated March 26th, I know that one of the

[29:49] concessions was to do away with all the balconies on the south elevation.

[29:54] Has that been done?

[29:55] Yes, and I know you kind of mentioned that, but yes, we did take them away.

[30:00] Thank you. Yeah, the current rendering still showed the balconies on the south. And when she said, I was like, oh, I should correct that.

[30:09] We were glad Riley picked it up.

[30:15] On page 7 of the pulmonary parking plan, you've got, well, the first question I have is you show three future electric charging stations back on the west side parking lot.

[30:27] Were those going to be single stations or were those going to be dual, so they would serve both?

[30:34] I think they're dual, we'd do all right.

[30:38] One single, one single, one single.

[30:39] And then out on the front, on the east side, you have a charging station out there.

[30:48] I believe it's in the handicap.

[30:49] Is that a handicap zone as well?

[30:50] So it's going to serve both purposes.

[30:53] Okay, I just want to clarify that.

[30:54] It's correct.

[30:57] Who is your radish?

[31:00] A few questions here.

[31:02] I'll just kind of list them off over.

[31:03] Remember here.

[31:05] In your application, you mentioned that you have monitored

[31:09] amenities tailored to enhance the daily lives of residents.

[31:12] I'll tell me about some of those modern amenities.

[31:15] What is a sensory room?

[31:16] More of a curiosity thing.

[31:19] Have you considered, since you are a long-term developer,

[31:22] holder owner have you considered solar, you know, in the parking lot for a long term, you

[31:30] know, viability of electric production.

[31:36] And the third question I guess would be, what is the, you know, we talk about building height.

[31:41] What type of mechanical system are you putting in and will that exceed the building height?

[31:46] You know, the mechanical system is going to be on the roof, these large box units that

[31:50] I'm sure there would be a parapet, but would that be what do you have?

[31:55] So I'll start with a sensory room.

[31:57] So some of these, we just opened our first community in Roseville, and we put it together

[32:03] a sensory room.

[32:03] It's basically like a lot of for memory care, dementia Alzheimer's, it's like a lot of tactile

[32:09] stuff, as well as kind of digital projections.

[32:13] So whether you're doing a game on a table top or, you know, in a caregiver typically comes

[32:18] with the resident but are doing wall art things and depending on the community like whether it's

[32:25] wood or rock or like a stream and so it's things to kind of help just trigger the memory.

[32:30] Instead of like I think you'd probably more used to feel like we used to always do those

[32:34] stations right where you'd have like a baby station or wedding dresses but we're trying to kind

[32:39] of monitor it like use technology and see if there's anything new out there.

[32:46] Solar, yeah, it depends, it's kind of given construction costs sometimes too, it depends

[32:51] we look at it, but we're thinking a lot about solar in our developments, because there

[32:57] are new developments right now, but we don't necessarily have it planned for this one or

[33:01] any currently, but we're always looking at it as an overall cost to the project.

[33:08] And then the mechanical systems are,

[33:11] we have to ask our architect what system it is exactly,

[33:15] but it is on the roof in a parapet wall.

[33:18] And so they won't exceed any of that.

[33:20] Go ahead.

[33:21] Celeste Hazzi, Be Hills Architecture.

[33:24] We do have mechanical units.

[33:25] We have fan-cool units for the residents

[33:27] that are very small about two-foot by three-foot units.

[33:30] And then we have mechanical for the kitchen.

[33:34] And so there is a roof well and man-served walls if you, if we had the roof plan available,

[33:40] you would be able to see that there is a walkable well in which we locate as many of the units is possible.

[33:45] And they're all screened with the roof.

[33:48] We also cut several sections and views as we work through construction drawings.

[33:52] Once those are placed to ensure they're not viewed for any other residents or any of the actual resident units.

[34:00] Thank you so much.

[34:06] You have a question, Mr. Grimm?

[34:08] I have one more.

[34:10] So are you a continuing care unit system or are you just doing this as a for-profit?

[34:18] Excuse me.

[34:19] You know, a continuing care.

[34:20] Oh, we're not a CCRC.

[34:21] CCRC.

[34:23] You're not.

[34:23] You're not doing it that often.

[34:23] We're just living memory and care license through the state through DSS.

[34:28] So with the prevalence of Alzheimer's and memory issues seeming to start moving down

[34:35] and to younger and younger people is the 55 and age up going to prevent people from that are

[34:42] under 55 that may develop Alzheimer's like illnesses, are they going to be prevented from

[34:49] going to this facility?

[34:51] You know, that's interesting.

[34:52] We had that question a couple months ago.

[34:54] I would have to look into the state on that too because it is since we are licensed through them.

[34:59] I mean, we have to abide under all of their obviously laws and regulation.

[35:03] Do you have a perfect idea?

[35:04] Thank you, Jerry. Here's operations.

[35:07] Good evening, commissioner. My name is Terrier of it. I'm the Vice President of Operations for Oakmont.

[35:11] Management group had been working with them for more than two decades.

[35:15] So we're regulated by the Department of Social Services.

[35:18] Within the regulations, they do allow exceptions based on age mechanisms.

[35:24] So 60 is actual the minimum age, and if we have someone who is coming in with Alzheimer's.

[35:31] earlier than that, we can seek an exception for that as long as they're appropriate with

[35:37] our resident population.

[35:40] Through the Department of Social Services, we handle that exception process.

[35:44] Thank you very much.

[35:46] Commissioner Wallace, one more question for you, sir.

[35:47] So are you guys doing the memory care as well as assisted living?

[35:51] Yes.

[35:52] So 35 units are dedicated to, oh, 30, yes, that's very separated from the assisted living.

[35:59] Okay.

[36:00] I think secured setting and specially trained staff and we incorporate some of those technologies we spoke of earlier to enhance the residents that need that care.

[36:12] Any other questions so the applicant from the Commission before we turn it over to public comment.

[36:26] Mr. Phillips is going to speak.

[36:30] So as I said in the beginning, when we open up to public comment, if you do want to speak, you need to fill out one of these speaker cards.

[36:37] We'd like you to, once you get up to the podium,

[36:40] stage your name, your address, and focus your comments

[36:43] on the specific agenda item, and you have three minutes

[36:45] for that.

[36:46] So the first one I have in my hand is John Phillips,

[36:50] so John,

[36:54] okay.

[36:59] Well, last time I was in here, I touched a nayschool

[37:02] before this building was sold through the town.

[37:06] My name is John Phillips.

[37:08] I live at 15 Betten Court, resident of Danville for 44 years.

[37:12] And my backyard is running along the fence of this property and, you know, it occurred to me that for two centuries, this property has been a nursery and things change over the years as far as what was acceptable back then, like we found lead in paint, we found out we needed to change that.

[37:34] Can't use oil-based paint anymore.

[37:36] It's all going to be water-based, things change with chemistry.

[37:40] And I thought to myself, with two centuries worth of nursery work being done, that there

[37:45] is actually a good property to do something like this on.

[37:51] It's 105-year-old assisted living memory care facility, and I'm concerned about the soil.

[37:57] It's contamination since it was a nursery.

[38:01] The applicant's phase one and limited slide investigation found the chemicals are called

[38:07] deal-drin and chlorine and they're toxic chemicals.

[38:12] And the levels if they found them on on this property exceeded the state levels.

[38:18] And when you start moving both thoseers through that property and this stuff gets in the dust

[38:23] and it goes into our backyards and it goes into our HVAC systems and it goes into our skin

[38:30] And the results from these chemicals is cancer,

[38:40] and unfortunately neurological issues, which

[38:42] is kind of, it's kind of blows my mind because this is a memory care place.

[38:48] Excavation for a three story 39 foot building could release contaminants into the dust, into

[38:53] the groundwater, and gangering my family, my neighbors, and the memory care residents are

[39:00] proposed to live at this place.

[39:03] The Ivy's limited investigation only tested storage areas and drainage ditch.

[39:09] This was not a comprehensive test, and even in those two small places, they found excessive

[39:15] levels.

[39:21] If they take the test to the next level, what you're supposed to do is they're going to be led,

[39:24] is they're going to be arsenic, is they're going to be PFAS levels, they haven't even been

[39:29] address yet,

[39:32] sequence section 153, 0.2 prohibits a class 32 exemption if unusual circumstances

[39:40] suggest environmental impacts.

[39:43] Somebody's going to be responsible for this, if this neighbor and everybody around, it

[39:48] comes down with skin diseases and God forbid, I don't want to get into a fatalistic conversation

[39:52] here.

[39:53] If this is all hypothetical, but somebody's signing off on this, somebody has to sign off

[40:00] on this.

[40:02] And my time is up? Is that what I mean?

[40:04] Yes, John.

[40:05] I just request three things. Can I just 20 seconds?

[40:08] Got it. My first request is that you require a comprehensive phase two ESA across the site,

[40:14] not specific areas. Secondly, I ask for a release of all the results publicly for community input.

[40:21] This is affecting a lot of homes.

[40:23] This is the densely populated residential area.

[40:26] Third, that we mandated detailed mitigation plan for expivation, including dust control.

[40:35] I'm breathing this stuff as right in my backyard.

[40:39] So please delay the approval until these steps ensure our safety.

[40:44] Thanks for your time.

[40:45] Thank you.

[40:51] I do have a speaker card from Kristen Phillips.

[40:59] I'm Kristen Phillips on 15th Baton Court, and I am married to John, and I want to

[41:05] follow him about the soil findings because I have a personal health condition that was based

[41:12] on a question of a training of soil in construction. I was paralyzed with Guillain-Barray and the

[41:19] first thing the neurologist said when I got into an intensive care is have you been around a

[41:25] commercial construction zone.

[41:28] And at that time, we were living by Shannon Park

[41:32] at a Dublin.

[41:34] And I have some real concerns about what

[41:37] it states on the findings of neurological conditions.

[41:41] I don't want to be paralyzed again.

[41:43] I had to learn how to walk all over again and recover.

[41:46] This is very serious of what not only

[41:50] could be happening neurologically, but cancer,

[41:54] says skin lesions, so I wanted to come and say, because I think we were someone on a right path,

[42:02] but when this hits, we have to take it seriously.

[42:07] Thank you.

[42:07] Thank you, Chris.

[42:08] I think John summarized three bullet points that we'll address with the applicant or discuss

[42:13] with the applicant.

[42:15] The next speaker card I have is, is it Mike Bonin?

[42:27] Thank you.

[42:28] My name is Michael Bonin.

[42:29] I live on 26 Bobby Corp, so not in that view, but one neighborhood over.

[42:34] I just have a couple of comments, a couple of questions.

[42:38] The first is, I guess, several of these comments stem from my own views of the neighborhood.

[42:43] I enjoyed running and run down Diablo, downtown Danville, come up Lcerro, and end up at Bobby Corp.

[42:49] And I'm concerned about the traffic.

[42:54] Diablo Road in El Cero are very busy streets.

[42:58] And while O&I has made comments about staggering

[43:00] their employee arrival times, certainly

[43:04] they're going to be people that are visiting throughout the day.

[43:08] And I'm just concerned that there's going

[43:10] to be a potential safety issue on Diablo Road

[43:14] with the additional traffic that is going to result

[43:19] if this facility is built.

[43:22] Diablo Road is already a very busy street,

[43:25] and I'm concerned that the additional traffic may cause

[43:28] additional safety issues.

[43:30] That's first point.

[43:31] Second point is, in a think we've already touched on this,

[43:33] this evening, the three story nature of the building.

[43:36] There aren't any other three story buildings in the vicinity.

[43:39] I'm very concerned that that's going to become somewhat

[43:42] of a focal point for us, as we travel around our neighborhood,

[43:46] and is it really necessary that it

[43:47] three story. There are two additional retirement communities just down the street. They're both

[43:55] two story units. They seem to fit into the neighborhood much more easily or with much less

[44:03] visibility than perhaps the three story facility will. The third question is is one of usage.

[44:11] As I mentioned, there are two facilities that are within a quarter mile of the proposed facility

[44:16] there already is this is living units, spructail, and yep, sunset, and then going the other

[44:23] direction, there's a full memory care facility is also a Brookdale facility that's

[44:27] this in operation. If the goal of the town of Danville is to increase housing, and this

[44:33] facility is, or this site is one where we're going to go after that goal. Should we be looking

[44:39] at a community for 55 and older, given that we already have three facilities in close proximity

[44:45] to the proposed. I can tell you my mom is in Brookdale. She entered that facility six months ago.

[44:51] You had absolutely no problems getting your into that facility. They had plenty of openings. Same was true of sunset.

[44:57] So if the facilities we have aren't being...

[45:00] Fully utilized, do we need another one of this type? And then the fourth is an observation, or I guess

[45:07] a request from our family in particular, we run a date care facility on our property in Danville

[45:13] called the I.V.s. Montessori. And I want to be sure that we're not going to have any problems

[45:18] from O.N.I. given the civil nature of the name classification between our business, which is licensed

[45:25] by the town of Danville, and the proposed. Thank you very much.

[45:30] The next speaker card I have is Matthew Slattin,

[45:35] Grin, Slattin Grin.

[45:42] Yes, I'm Matthew Slattin Grin.

[45:44] I'm at a resident 45 Betten Court.

[45:46] I'm going to start with something a little bit

[45:48] if you haven't touched on too much here.

[45:50] There was a certain safety risk, which has not been addressed.

[45:53] They have mentioned about the parking,

[45:55] how they're going to attempt to address it.

[45:56] Everything I've heard so far will not address it.

[45:59] Betten Court is the most convenient place to park

[46:01] if you cannot find parking in there.

[46:03] I have witnessed two ambulances in one fire truck,

[46:07] get on a vet and court before.

[46:08] You filled the bottom section of vet and court with cars.

[46:12] You can no longer get safety vehicles in there.

[46:15] I have witnessed, not too long ago, there was an ambulance

[46:19] attempting it through.

[46:20] There was a single PG&E vehicle that was parked there

[46:26] doing work.

[46:28] And the ambulance had to sit there honking their horn

[46:31] for about three or four or five minutes before they could get through.

[46:34] They took up less space and two cars would have.

[46:37] And there are multiple choke points along back in court

[46:39] that will cause the same issue.

[46:41] This is a big safety issue, and if it is not addressed,

[46:46] then this is you have all of aided in creating the safety issue here.

[46:50] There are a number of ordinances that are going to be violated with this.

[46:56] So the purpose of the multi-family residence district

[46:58] is to integrate new development in a manner that is visually

[47:00] eventually compatible with physical characteristics of the starting community.

[47:04] That is, out of your ordinance, this has three-story building in a bunch of one-story residents.

[47:09] Sorry, three-story business in a bunch of one-story residents, Shoms.

[47:14] So in ISOR for all, this is not just an insancies.

[47:17] We'll not be functionally compatible with the surrounding region.

[47:20] You're supposed to minimize the impacts of use of protect residents from the harmful effects of accessive noise,

[47:24] or we're crowding excessive traffic, insufficient parking and other adverse environmental effects.

[47:28] This room, this place will prove for privacy, cause excessive traffic, remove our parking, and cause other issues.

[47:37] And a three story building will shade out all of our gardens.

[47:40] I know most people at Long Met Wall have gardens, which they will no longer be able to grow.

[47:45] The landscaping buffer requirement, the applicant proposals will cover about 14 feet of our backyards.

[47:50] From last but I've heard, and shade out all the yards area, forcing everybody to clean up after their landscaping.

[47:56] And, again, have problems for gardens, which most of them are all on the fences.

[48:03] So this should be on the business not to be something they're putting on to us.

[48:07] This proposed plan needs to be outright denied, there's no way to address all the concerns

[48:10] given to location, identity other high-dense project, but dangerous school children, pedestrian

[48:15] cyclists, impact emergency services, and the fact that it violates numerous of your ordinances.

[48:20] The Australian and traffic public utilities will be too great.

[48:23] And just note in the first couple of speakers, both my parents passed from cancer.

[48:28] I watched that and I cannot do that again.

[48:31] I can't go through that and if they're putting old chemicals, I've got a lot of experience

[48:37] with pesticides, a lot of old chemicals, a lot of old chemistry.

[48:41] I can't go through that again, I cannot support this at all.

[48:45] Thanks very much.

[48:46] Thank you.

[48:47] Thank you Matthew.

[48:50] Rudy Spitz.

[48:58] I'm on my name's Rudy Spitz.

[49:01] I live at 33 Betten Court.

[49:07] I recently renovated my whole place

[49:11] and put a pool right by the proposed development kitty corner.

[49:20] Well, first of all, I'd like to say that my wife has suffered

[49:23] with asthma or entire life, and any type of airborne, you know, carcinogens or whatever,

[49:34] it's very concerning to me. So this is something I just learned and I agree with what

[49:40] John brought up another thing as I on the west side of the building the developers said that he

[49:58] would make that balcony just for looks only and I can't tell for sure if that's the case

[50:07] because it looks directly down on my swimming pool and back yard and that's probably a question

[50:16] for the developer whether they actually made that for looks only and not an actual balcony.

[50:27] me. And that's about it. So do I do I ask that question to the developer? No, we took

[50:38] it down and the developer, the architect addressed it a little bit. You may not over

[50:42] them. Okay, because we questioned it on the west side. Okay, it is for looks only. Okay,

[50:51] So I can feel confident in my pool.

[50:56] All right.

[50:56] We will reconfirm that though with them.

[50:58] When they come back.

[50:59] All right. Thank you.

[51:00] Thank you, Rudy.

[51:02] Gary Parsons.

[51:13] Good evening.

[51:13] My name is Gary Parsons.

[51:15] My brother is Stephen I own the property that we're talking about today.

[51:21] We purchased the property in 1994.

[51:23] We operated that nursery from 1994 till May of 1999.

[51:29] When this property was resumed, we were approached by 10 different builders with offers on this property almost overnight.

[51:39] I mean it was overwhelmed.

[51:40] We spent about six months going through with each of these builders.

[51:46] Most all of them were high density, stack and pack apartments or condos that we're going to go on that property.

[51:53] We ended up selecting Oakmont because we did a lot of research on them.

[52:00] They operate quality facilities in looking at research on the community between Rutlinger,

[52:09] Diablo Lodge and Sunrise, the occupancy rate at that time was 92%, which is essentially

[52:15] 100%.

[52:16] You can never get 100% on places like that.

[52:19] So, there is a need for elder care in this community, and particularly with the price of houses the way they are, a lot of older people are only older people can afford this.

[52:31] Not only was it evaluating Oakmont, but also I grew up in this community.

[52:35] I was born here in 1958. My family's been here since 55.

[52:39] back my mom helped form this town in 1982, getting it incorporated.

[52:46] But the other three factors we looked at also in selecting no command was traffic.

[52:52] These 80-plus-year-old people don't drive, 99% of them don't drive, so there's not going to be a lot of traffic.

[52:59] When we operated the nursery, we did 1,200 Christmas trees a year, we delivered 400 Christmas trees

[53:05] between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

[53:09] Topsoil. We talked about dust. That sites had a topsoil yard on it forever. There's trucks coming in and out delivering soil and rock materials and going out continuously every day. We got complaints by the neighbors. We for years about dust and tried to do our best to mitigate that. So that's not something new necessarily. I would also argue traffic from this isn't going to be something new. Because we have traffic today with consumers coming into bulk.

[53:38] product from that nursery. And then the other effect we looked at on select, you know,

[53:44] Vermont was the effect on schools. And we thought, you know, we're hearing a lot about

[53:48] our schools being overwhelmed to many students, 30 students per class and all, this is

[53:54] going to have no impact on the schools at all because school kids aren't going to be in

[53:57] this unit. And then thirdly we looked at mitigation of our water supply with the drought

[54:04] and all the water problems you've had, this is actually going to use a lot less water than

[54:09] what that nursery does today.

[54:12] So I just wanted to say there's, and this, I guess, my time's up.

[54:17] But anyway, thank you for listening to me, and I know the history of this property since 1941

[54:23] with the Pararas and Lowery-Vonk and Shirley-Vonk and Doug and Joanne Day and my brother

[54:30] So if anyone needs any historical perspective or anything, I'm happy to provide information. Thank you.

[54:36] Thank you.

[54:38] Okay, the last speaker card that I have is Craig Andrews.

[55:20] I don't know, eight thousand units a year in the area.

[55:27] That means there

[55:31] should be six single kind of long-term, five-and-crossed street,

[55:35] of other court,

[55:39] but then having 35 windows in my backyard, 35 D-P-I, and me being here

[55:44] and just being my house at 7-7-1-3-5, or 7-8-4. I would want to tell myself, there's no quality

[55:54] like me, I don't know. It's a sham. Always the state is the state, it's the state. That's what

[56:00] Riley says. She winds it all on the state and then just do everything because the state, they

[56:04] choice. That's what David says too. That's the morals and save the damn trees.

[56:14] Don't give

[56:14] more high

[56:17] faith in it. We're just going to save the

[56:25] boat. And since he lost

[56:26] pompous, we're going to see him up, up,

[56:33] down. Low voltage lighting.

[56:37] How do you

[56:37] talk to the windows, no one off? That's kind of keeping down. Keep a language to this.

[56:42] I think though. I appreciate what you think. And you have your three minutes to finish

[56:47] That's what you think.

[56:48] No,

[56:53] I get down to one or seven, eight, four, Lou.

[56:56] But my dad who would be here would be embarrassed by this.

[57:01] God bless this soul.

[57:03] He was an environmental engineer, and had two thousand employees

[57:07] and brought his company public on the NASDAQ.

[57:11] My dad rang the bell, and my parents met bought all two thousand employees.

[57:17] My dad decided to build every land going to stay in California

[57:31] Is this relating to the topic on the agenda?

[57:34] If I have to say, we should have a full and fire metal

[57:49] eat dust,

[57:53] a million alerts going on.

[57:55] Why did we get this developer more?

[57:57] Then we don't know if we're going to have a condition that he can't resell these units.

[58:05] If we're going to give him all these benefits, then one would be say,

[58:09] why can he just turn on the Cardio's 10 years from now?

[58:12] That's what every developer is doing in every other city.

[58:16] Looking up, then they talk about old marks so reputable.

[58:20] They're getting sued at 90 facilities.

[58:22] Every single one they operate on in California has an active lawsuit.

[58:29] That's not responsible business.

[58:35] Okay Craig, your first three minutes is up for seven, eight, four,

[58:39] to rainy drive.

[58:41] So, and we're, excuse me, and respect to the commission, could you re-introduce yourself?

[58:46] My name is state entries on it's 784k. I have another concern.

[58:51] Well, this one's for 771, to read the draft.

[58:55] Yeah, we just finished 784. I have two up to a lot.

[58:57] Yeah, we just finished 784. So, let's hear your comments on how it affects you.

[59:03] I'm a traffic. I say they have a traffic state. Who did the traffic study?

[59:07] Was it a meal available in public numbers?

[59:09] I think it's in the package, you do the traffic stuff.

[59:11] It's in the package, okay?

[59:13] It's online.

[59:14] It's online.

[59:15] Our town says that we're going to let people know about a project that might affect them within 300 feet.

[59:23] You know what?

[59:23] My lunch, 185 feet wide.

[59:27] Okay?

[59:28] My next lunch, 150 feet wide.

[59:30] You know how many people get notified when they don't know about five people,

[59:34] which is 300 feet on the initial response for us.

[59:37] to say this is a good idea, change it, from six single family homes, none of my neighbors came,

[59:44] none of us. We are grateful for here again because they don't think that people that are

[59:52] I'll be very happy.

[59:54] How do I know that the traffic there already is a short time.

[59:59] See Google Earth thing.

[1:00:00] State, if you're going to one point, you come down to Lini Frye, used to be closed. Every single home

[1:00:06] now I'm going to get asked by every single buddy that wants to go to Mr. Bondi, who's going to come down

[1:00:12] to? Now, several, who's going to take the right on to Lini because it's going to be backed up all

[1:00:18] the way to the White. After they say a 105 new people come in and out that have visitors every day

[1:00:27] workers don't present ours. Or they think these people come there and they have no

[1:00:32] way to come to visit.

[1:00:36] This is a very bizarre parking spot, sir. How many

[1:00:39] workings are there? There's 60 total. 60. How many residents are there?

[1:00:49] There's 105 units and there was an objective traffic study completed that takes into effect.

[1:00:56] the use of the facility, the people that would be there, the services that are going to be performed in that facility.

[1:01:04] So I would ask that if you have those concerns, you can get online and take a look at the traffic study that is available.

[1:01:13] And we don't think that's going

[1:01:20] to be done. Why would we learn how

[1:01:25] would we give them more?

[1:01:27] If we're just going to say everything's okay.

[1:01:29] How do we know that these air conditioning units aren't higher than the maximum that we're sending today?

[1:01:34] Is that okay if everything units are higher than the before?

[1:01:39] I think the architect addressed it that they're in mechanical wells.

[1:01:47] There's drawings, there's renderings,

[1:01:50] There's documentation that supports the design. You built all those homes. You know how you built all those because the state up the

[1:02:04] Thank you

[1:02:09] Appreciate your comments.

[1:02:16] All right, we have any other street cards Amanda. Oh, excuse me. We have one more.

[1:02:23] John Shilly

[1:02:32] John Schiller, I'm at Buckeye, so I'm across the way off of Willamir.

[1:02:43] I'm very passionate, but I'm not going to be as passionate as the previous film.

[1:02:49] I appreciate it.

[1:02:50] I agree with everything he said, absolutely.

[1:02:53] And the Phil's family as well.

[1:02:55] Thank you guys, too.

[1:02:57] I moved my family here in about 10 years ago.

[1:03:00] In my line of work, when things are broken, we just say it's broken.

[1:03:03] The Abla road is broken. The traffic is broken. I can't even get out of the wheel and me

[1:03:08] in the morning.

[1:03:11] The other thing is, there's not just one school down the street. There's more

[1:03:16] schools. I see E-Bike's going by on the Abla like ripping down kids going to him on a

[1:03:23] vista with Sarah's Green Valley, Mr. Grande, he's two pre-schools there as well. If you look

[1:03:29] on the right there, there's a merge right there where the entrance in the exit is, I see almost

[1:03:36] accidents happen while walking my dog. Do any of the people here live in this area? Can you

[1:03:43] get it raise your hand? I mean, a traffic, something of a traffic stress should be someone that lives

[1:03:50] through what I live through trying to go out of my, out of the area. If you get off the road at Diablo,

[1:03:57] There's two lanes that merge in the one, emergency vehicles, I don't know how that's going to work.

[1:04:05] Peace myself here.

[1:04:14] My mom lives to live in Wall and Creek, and they actually put a church right in the middle of a residential area.

[1:04:20] The light pollution, the environmental impact on my mom's area, the blue archway over I Rossmore, was unbelievable.

[1:04:28] And I think that's what's going to happen here.

[1:04:31] If you look at the map where has everyone's own,

[1:04:33] it has one zoning right there, why?

[1:04:36] Why do we have to have that one area's own?

[1:04:38] That affects so many of the R-15s.

[1:04:40] I believe that was the zoning for the rest of the presidents.

[1:04:43] This is R-35, right?

[1:04:44] Is that how I look at that?

[1:04:47] I just don't think it belongs.

[1:04:49] And I agree.

[1:04:50] Like, why not do a Tyler Court?

[1:04:51] I know you guys are looking for like state mandates and all this stuff.

[1:04:56] I can't just be somewhere else.

[1:04:57] I can't even just keep our houses the way it is.

[1:05:00] I think people are going to move out.

[1:05:03] And I know that means more taxes for someone

[1:05:05] that buys a upgrades or a house or whatever,

[1:05:08] but I just don't feel so right answer.

[1:05:10] And I love living here.

[1:05:11] I love raising my family here.

[1:05:14] I love game, I Christmas trees, that's loads.

[1:05:18] Anyways, those are my comments.

[1:05:19] Thank you.

[1:05:20] Thank you, John.

[1:05:24] Amanda, any other scoop of cards?

[1:05:27] OK.

[1:05:27] Okay.

[1:05:28] That's going to close the public comment session.

[1:05:30] I want to thank you all for bringing your thoughts forward to the commission and I'm going

[1:05:36] to bring it back to commission and excuse me, and bring the applicant back up.

[1:05:44] Carissa?

[1:05:46] It is Carissa, correct?

[1:05:53] So we obviously had a number of questions that were posed and I've asked some of the commission

[1:06:00] to take some notes along along the way.

[1:06:03] Excuse me.

[1:06:03] David, it's gone.

[1:06:06] Start over to you.

[1:06:08] I just want to take notes for myself, but all of them.

[1:06:10] We've got that.

[1:06:11] It's OK.

[1:06:11] We can hit it.

[1:06:13] All right.

[1:06:13] So the first question is about the soils contamination

[1:06:15] and the phase 1 on the limited study

[1:06:17] and what comes next and how do we assure

[1:06:20] that that's not going to be health issue?

[1:06:26] So I just quickly pulled up the phase 1.

[1:06:28] We did a full phase 1.

[1:06:30] There's a lot of obviously history on this site too.

[1:06:33] All of this is documented.

[1:06:34] I do believe it's also a public information too.

[1:06:38] But yeah, we sampled 26 soil samples the first time we mobilized another 26 the second time led has been tested, arsenic has been tested, I want to review this, you know, a little further right now because this was a while ago and we did this but we've taken into consideration all of their recommendations after they did the environmental phase one, the recommendation was to do a limited site investigation which we did.

[1:07:07] And so the recommendations that we're following is exactly what it said in the report,

[1:07:12] which would be to excavate it, get your permits, do it the correct way, and you,

[1:07:17] you, I mean, there's several things we have to do. We get rid of that soil.

[1:07:22] Yeah, go for it. Sure. So do you. Yeah, Colin Bagwell, VP of Acquisitions for O and I development.

[1:07:29] So Terecon tested 26 soil samples from 13 soil drawings for TPH,

[1:07:36] which VOCs, OCP, these led in arsenic.

[1:07:41] And the only item that was required for further testing

[1:07:46] was I'm going to put your name of it.

[1:07:49] Delg, Delg, Delg, Delg, is that right?

[1:07:53] But the recommendation there was for an exhibition

[1:07:56] in a mobile, which we will work with building

[1:07:59] permit process to move that in the way

[1:08:01] that's appropriate at that time.

[1:08:03] Yeah, closer to the mic.

[1:08:04] Sure.

[1:08:04] So that's I mean what constitutes a phase 2 assessment what what constitutes the next step to require a phase 2 environmental assessment report

[1:08:15] The environmental consultant will review everything that's previously been done there have been phase 2s that have been done for this site

[1:08:24] That's a phase one report. They're having say that again. There have been phase 2 phase ones and phase 2s have previously been completed on the site

[1:08:32] There was I believe an oil tank that was subsurface that was opened and then closed second that information was in in the packet

[1:08:39] It's in the summary of the phase one

[1:08:41] Why read the taric on report it said there was the phase one and then you did the

[1:08:47] additional samples of the 26-boring thing you did in the other 26-borings, right and then

[1:08:53] What am I missing what did it say then?

[1:08:57] Oh, I didn't go online

[1:09:01] So I'm looking at what I saw in this packet then so all right so there was a limited phase 2 is what you're saying then previously done

[1:09:09] So as part due diligence Gary gave us everything that had been

[1:09:13] Okay previously for the site correct

[1:09:15] And then additional testing was completed for the items that I that I just mentioned

[1:09:19] And then the recommendation for the phase 1 was to do further testing for the D chemical which I'm not going to try to pronounce in the requirement there was

[1:09:28] that we excavated in the movie.

[1:09:30] Can I just provide a little further?

[1:09:31] Sure.

[1:09:32] I'm Gary back again.

[1:09:34] I think it was circa 1997 when we discovered

[1:09:38] at the top soliard.

[1:09:40] There was an old diesel tank that had been underground,

[1:09:43] that had been abandoned long ago.

[1:09:45] So we hired an engineering environmental engineering company.

[1:09:49] I believe it was streamborn if I remember right on that one.

[1:09:52] They came in, they did boring,

[1:09:54] they detected where the limits were,

[1:09:56] where some diesel fuel had leaked.

[1:09:57] They excavated the entire site, the materials were taking to coal-linga for incineration, that's what they do with the contaminated soil in this area.

[1:10:07] There was also another incident back in the top soil yard that we discovered, and that was also excavated, and soil was removed and taken to coal-linga.

[1:10:19] So yeah, the site's been there a long time.

[1:10:21] I admit that, it's been used.

[1:10:23] But some areas of it are, quote, newer than others.

[1:10:26] It just hasn't been neglected all along.

[1:10:29] Thank you.

[1:10:30] Thank you.

[1:10:32] Just as another point kind of going on the soil condition.

[1:10:36] What we're talking about is what's in situ.

[1:10:38] What's there?

[1:10:38] What we know about.

[1:10:40] But before there will be any disruption or removal of that soil,

[1:10:43] there will be a licensed contractor brought on familiar with hazardous waste

[1:10:46] removal of that's what the situation is.

[1:10:48] there'll be best management practices put in place which include dust control that minimizes any

[1:10:54] mitigation or migration of any dust in the area. So there's going to be protocols put in place.

[1:11:00] This is not just go out and go at it. That is all. That's exactly what helps. What

[1:11:05] will happen. It's exactly how we have to do it every time. There's any contaminated soils.

[1:11:14] Do you understand? So, but this is all going to be handled not by the town but by

[1:11:19] across the county, environmental health, and planning.

[1:11:23] So, it goes to the county.

[1:11:25] It's got the overall responsibility and this to check it off and be sure that they're

[1:11:28] doing it.

[1:11:29] Correct.

[1:11:29] They have to go through the coordinating process to the county.

[1:11:31] The town doesn't have the expertise to monitor and to do these things correctly.

[1:11:36] So they have to go through.

[1:11:36] So they're going to bring the people in to keep on top of that.

[1:11:39] Do that type of mitigation.

[1:11:41] And argue, don't.

[1:11:43] Go ahead.

[1:11:44] Yeah.

[1:11:45] The agency, or the department for the county, that does that type of mitigation

[1:11:48] and that type of work on regular basis.

[1:11:52] And you're going with Caracon for continuing

[1:11:55] for all the recommendations that we're in the report.

[1:11:59] OK, thank you.

[1:12:01] So David, either you or we can take it.

[1:12:03] I think the next was traffic issues.

[1:12:06] And particularly the level of service

[1:12:09] at the driveway going on to Diablo Road

[1:12:12] and what the traffic study indicated

[1:12:15] if we could kind of discuss that a little bit?

[1:12:19] Yes, absolutely.

[1:12:20] We're going to bring our traffic into here.

[1:12:22] Thank you.

[1:12:26] Hello, Council.

[1:12:27] My name is Alex Garber, and I'm with EPD Solutions,

[1:12:30] who prepared the traffic study.

[1:12:35] And the driveway that in discussion

[1:12:37] does allow for left turns and right turns,

[1:12:41] and we analyzed the LOS to look at the delay that would be experienced.

[1:12:46] of all of the directions, none of them are out of failing LOS, which in this city's LOS

[1:12:54] E, except for the left turn out of the site, since it is a stop sign. The level of service

[1:13:02] is a stricter threshold, so we're talking about 37 seconds at the worst case scenario for vehicles

[1:13:10] be able to turn left which while technically a failure is on site so it's not going to be impacting

[1:13:17] any of the through traffic or impacting offsite vehicles it will just be the residents leaving

[1:13:23] the or the workers or visitors leaving the site and 37 seconds is would be considered an

[1:13:32] acceptable LOS at a signal that would be off-site.

[1:13:36] So it was deemed to not be an issue for that,

[1:13:41] as well as the existing site has a similar delay.

[1:13:46] That is less than a five second difference,

[1:13:49] and the threshold adopted by the city is,

[1:13:52] if there is a five second increase

[1:13:54] for an already failing intersection,

[1:13:57] then it is the project's duty to reduce it

[1:14:01] to existing this project given the minimum amount of net trips is not increasing

[1:14:07] at five seconds. It's much less. So it's going to be very similar to what's there today.

[1:14:11] Thank you. And all that information is readily available on the traffic study that

[1:14:16] is completed in April, correct? That is correct.

[1:14:20] Mr. Graham, when was the traffic study done? When I went through it, I didn't

[1:14:31] if you did your traffic counts?

[1:14:33] That is correct.

[1:14:34] Okay.

[1:14:34] Of 2024.

[1:14:42] Any other traffic really?

[1:14:43] Oh, would you also have dealt with, I know you had to deal with the fire department in

[1:14:48] regard to service for the ID itself probably right or the developer did in regard to the

[1:14:54] able to access that. One of the speakers brought up concerns about

[1:15:01] You know, traffic in the residential areas, it seems like you have an excess of parking in there that would help mitigate any problem with parking in the neighborhoods.

[1:15:11] That is correct. So the city has a parking standard that we looked at, which would require 37 spaces to accommodate this use.

[1:15:20] We also used ITE, which is a standard used by traffic engineers all across the country.

[1:15:30] And that had a slightly higher recommended amount of parking, which was 44, the project that's being proposed to you is providing 60, which is above both of those and would provide plenty of parking for this type of land use.

[1:15:47] I would add that we felt very strongly that we needed to have 60 spaces based on our experience with operating other communities.

[1:15:57] That's why we have access.

[1:15:58] Are any of those dedicated visitor parking?

[1:16:03] Yes.

[1:16:04] We have visitor parking, but it's not dedicated.

[1:16:06] But you're not going to say, see, okay, so it's not dedicated visitor parking.

[1:16:10] Okay.

[1:16:14] Any other traffic-related questions that were presented or David that we missed?

[1:16:20] You hear notes?

[1:16:24] Yes, good.

[1:16:32] 24.

[1:16:33] Yeah, that was back to the office push.

[1:16:40] You don't have Mr. Ago.

[1:16:55] These results look rather low to me for today's business to be honest, but I think it's

[1:17:00] because October 30th, or October is when this was done.

[1:17:03] If you were to do this survey in March or April at that nursery today, and even may,

[1:17:10] with the weather we've had, you would see much higher traffic counts than this coming in

[1:17:14] and out of that nursery while you're running the soil and the planting season, you know,

[1:17:19] during the spring with people buying vegetables and everything else.

[1:17:23] So I think this is more than safe on the safe side.

[1:17:26] Thank you, Gary.

[1:17:32] Yes.

[1:17:32] Just to take into consideration

[1:17:37] the service trucks, the garbage trucks that come

[1:17:40] during any different types of garbage trucks, there's going to be transportation vehicles coming through

[1:17:46] and we can move on the ground.

[1:17:49] We hear car accidents at this corner every other week, and it's all really dangerous.

[1:17:58] And if you are already getting some back to work in your office, so, you know, we can

[1:18:03] time stand a lot of these studies and work the way that we are on work.

[1:18:07] We're going to just tell them, it's going to be.

[1:18:11] I appreciate we appreciate your input, John, and the one thing that we have to count on is an

[1:18:15] objective study traffic study, which was completed.

[1:18:19] And, you know, even little things like getting rid of that one exit that's, you know,

[1:18:24] north. So you got one list exit there. May help some situations too. Okay. Thank you.

[1:18:30] And I was just going to ask you to we did get sign off from the fire district too. They've reviewed

[1:18:35] the plan once we flipped the building. Right. They that's so. You need to provide them adequate

[1:18:40] access to get all right. Thank you. One architectural item that we had Ruby Spits brought up in regard

[1:18:46] to the balconies. I think both you and Riley address that on the south elevation. Correct.

[1:18:51] They're no longer occupiable balconies.

[1:18:54] Fair off that.

[1:18:55] And you'll see that in the first bill.

[1:18:57] But the question was that he's a person.

[1:18:59] Oh, I'm sorry.

[1:19:00] I'm sorry.

[1:19:01] Oh, we've never talked about the West side.

[1:19:03] So did we do the West side?

[1:19:04] Do we do the West side?

[1:19:05] I was on top.

[1:19:07] I was on top.

[1:19:07] It was the South side, along the...

[1:19:09] OK.

[1:19:10] OK.

[1:19:11] Well, perfect.

[1:19:12] It was the South side.

[1:19:13] Oh, I had the South side.

[1:19:14] Yes.

[1:19:16] We're considering rare to be the West side.

[1:19:18] I knew it was the South side.

[1:19:20] Chris, it wasn't at that DRB, so we talked about the west corner that could also potentially

[1:19:26] look into his property being converted from an operational ballot, balcony into a Juliet,

[1:19:32] which is on the map.

[1:19:34] That's okay with that change.

[1:19:35] Yes, that was discussed.

[1:19:37] Yes.

[1:19:37] I'm sure it's in the record.

[1:19:40] That will be our fault, then.

[1:19:44] There were a number of other passionate concerns and presentations presented regarding

[1:19:50] the development itself versus other options for that space, but I think as David and

[1:19:58] staff had presented everything in regard to this development, checks the box as to the regulations

[1:20:05] and laws, and you've come to the DRB multiple times, worked with the community, I know,

[1:20:14] and we're going to their specific concerns.

[1:20:19] And, you know, it's appreciated by the town

[1:20:21] and by the planning commission.

[1:20:25] I tried to summarize.

[1:20:26] What's

[1:20:40] your name, Wolfie?

[1:20:53] Two more things I had written down.

[1:20:54] All right, thank you.

[1:20:57] The one item was with respect to parking on vet and court,

[1:21:01] which I don't know if we address that.

[1:21:02] I know we've talked about today with law.

[1:21:03] Well, that's convenient.

[1:21:04] Good.

[1:21:05] But we have a part, I mean, we're overparked on our site,

[1:21:08] And we also have a parking plan, which we will implement with our employees, which I think

[1:21:14] are probably the biggest ones that people would be concerned about.

[1:21:17] But if there's any issues, obviously, you can call us or, you know, a police department

[1:21:23] if you have a long-standing issues with people parking on the street that are supposed to.

[1:21:28] And we'll take care of that.

[1:21:28] And then somebody else mentioned, who talked about a lot of these, but light pollution.

[1:21:34] Yes.

[1:21:34] So we have dark sky compliant fixtures that have been reviewed by the city.

[1:21:40] I think those are the only two that I have written down.

[1:21:43] Thank you.

[1:21:45] Commissioners, any other questions?

[1:21:50] Excuse me?

[1:21:52] David, did you have something that we missed?

[1:21:54] We have to.

[1:21:54] After an African three-buttle, I have a few more.

[1:21:58] No, I didn't have anything additional that they had missed.

[1:22:02] But I have.

[1:22:09] What should give me one of these speaker cards earlier, but I'm going to give you your, you say, go ahead, go for it.

[1:22:26] Could you explain fan coils versus the rooftop units?

[1:22:29] Yes, plus Hazi Bihil's architecture.

[1:22:32] So actually those fan coil units only have a decibel level of 54 decibels,

[1:22:36] which is the equivalent of a normal conversation or light rainfall.

[1:22:41] And they're all on the roof, and they're all projecting up as opposed to down.

[1:22:46] So there shouldn't be any noise pollution from those.

[1:22:51] 504?

[1:22:57] Yes.

[1:22:58] This is the last one. Mr. Andrews, you are.

[1:23:01] He's going. Go.

[1:23:02] I know. I know. I know.

[1:23:05] The humans are showing.

[1:23:28] That's your last year.

[1:23:34] That's Caduceville, Lister.

[1:23:54] So based on coordination with the city,

[1:23:59] we took both AM, midday, and PM peak hour counts.

[1:24:04] And it is over a time frame that accommodates not just one hour that we pick randomly.

[1:24:13] It accommodates from noon to three to find what the peak point of that hour is.

[1:24:20] So if they get off a little bit earlier at 1230 or 1230 it would have been accounted for in the counts and that would have been the peak hour that we used for our analysis.

[1:24:29] and we use the peak 15 minutes within that hour to do a worst case scenario analysis during

[1:24:39] that period. So that was accounted for in this analysis.

[1:24:44] Okay, well, obviously you hear the concerns and it's your professional responsibility

[1:24:49] to ensure that those concerns are considered in the traffic study.

[1:24:54] Absolutely. So thank you. And for the Halloween, we have, there are different holidays that

[1:25:02] throughout the year that are accounted for to make sure that we are getting accurate counts

[1:25:07] and not doing it on a holiday. Like this week, there are no traffic counts being taken because

[1:25:11] it's Memorial Day weekend and a lot of people take vacations. Halloween is not one of those that

[1:25:16] have been seen in studies over the years. So that week would still be considered a viable,

[1:25:22] normal traffic week. Okay. And I should want to address that. So the applicant, thank you very much.

[1:25:29] You can wrap it up. We'll take it back to the commission here. Thank you.

[1:25:34] David, did you say you had something before we bring it back to the commission?

[1:25:38] You said a couple more comments. You know, are you guys comfortable with the discussion regarding the hazardous

[1:25:46] materials and the process that that would have to go through to remove the, you know, the,

[1:25:52] the hazardous materials on the site needs to be removed in one way shape or form.

[1:25:57] It's better for a long term of the neighborhood and the, you know, the water.

[1:26:04] And again, the professionals at the county level, that's what they do.

[1:26:10] There's a process to go through a permitting process and an inspection process.

[1:26:14] And so that'll all be taken care of through their protocols.

[1:26:20] There's a question about why three stories here, we have two stories over on, you know,

[1:26:26] the Diablo Lodge and the Sunrise across the way there and others.

[1:26:31] We never prior to this housing element, we'd never had a standard higher than two stories,

[1:26:36] the 35 feet in Danville anywhere.

[1:26:39] And that was pre-Dandle.

[1:26:43] That's one of the reasons we incorporated it, but in order to get our, when we first submitted our housing elements of the state, they rejected it, for a number of reasons, one being that our development standards were too restrictive, and they required that we loosen our redevelopment standards.

[1:27:00] And so for the new sites that we developed, we had to raise those two allow for three stories, we still kept them at 35 feet.

[1:27:07] So even two stories were limited to could go up to 35 feet.

[1:27:12] So we're talking about, well, three stories we're talking about, a building that at its highest point is a few feet higher than the 35 feet that could have always occurred there.

[1:27:21] But really, I know we're pointing our fingers at the state, but this was a concession we made to the state.

[1:27:27] You know, we have a couple of housing sites, maybe familiar with the Darby Plaza right there at the On Ramp of Bel Cerro and 680.

[1:27:35] You know, they use their density bonus to go to four stories.

[1:27:39] We have an application on Village Shopping Center

[1:27:42] for a, where it's known for three stories

[1:27:45] for a four story apartment building there.

[1:27:48] So, you know, we're seeing the waivers and the density bonus

[1:27:51] actually asking for much higher in four stories.

[1:27:58] Just a comment on the notices.

[1:28:00] is we send notices to 750 feet, not 350, so we go two and a half times as a minimum required

[1:28:07] by law on our notification, had a quiet policy, and that's all I had, and that's

[1:28:13] yet additional questions.

[1:28:15] Thank you, David.

[1:28:16] So, can I bring it back to the commission?

[1:28:18] Commissioners, any questions that you might have at this point?

[1:28:27] I just have one item like whoever makes the motion, I'd like to look at adding an item

[1:28:34] under parking, it would be section F, it would be number four, a parking management plan for

[1:28:42] the employees will be created and reviewed and approved by the town staff before certificate

[1:28:48] of occupancy. We've done this before, it's a standard condition of approval. It sounds like

[1:28:53] they've already put that in place, they've got plans for that, I just like to see it codified in here.

[1:28:58] Yeah, so it's a little different than, you know, normally it's a downtown stuff where we're talking

[1:29:02] about where they park in the town parking lots,

[1:29:04] but we'll figure out the best way to handle that in this situation.

[1:29:12] So if we have no other comments or questions,

[1:29:14] we feel like we've absorbed the comments of the community here

[1:29:19] and been respectful to them and responded to them.

[1:29:23] Is there anybody,

[1:29:38] isn't the bonus density law?

[1:29:39] They could have gone higher than that.

[1:29:42] Yeah, they could have gone higher.

[1:29:43] The bonus density law, the state bonus density law

[1:29:46] allowed them to go even higher than that. So there's been a lot of pushback from the community to keep it there.

[1:30:05] Thank

[1:30:22] you, Mr.

[1:30:26] Andrews. We're not getting paid. We're getting paid.

[1:30:34] Appreciate your comments. We'll close it at that.

[1:30:45] If staff can attend, is that what you're saying? Just going to cut.

[1:31:10] Mr. Andrews, this is the first time I've had the opportunity to meet you. But I attended two design review board meetings that were lengthy, that a number of the people in this room were at the meeting.

[1:31:22] ask very thoughtful questions.

[1:31:27] The community representatives here, we've seen each other before,

[1:31:30] we've met each other before, we've talked about issues. Yeah, excuse me.

[1:31:39] Okay,

[1:31:41] so let's close

[1:31:41] that down. Thank you. Do I have a motion on item 5.1 of today's agenda? Commissioner Graham,

[1:31:49] I move approval of resolution number 24 days, 0.09 allowing the development of I.V.

[1:31:59] A 105 unit assisted living facility, Intriever Mobile Permit request T.R. 25 days, 0.13.

[1:32:06] It's allow the removal of five count protected trees.

[1:32:08] The properties located at 828 to have a road.

[1:32:11] currently occupied by Slope Garden Center with the addition of item F4 parking management plan

[1:32:22] for employees will be created and reviewed and approved by town staff before a certificate of

[1:32:31] to occupancy as you should.

[1:32:34] Do I have a second?

[1:32:37] I'll second it.

[1:32:39] All in favour?

[1:32:41] Aye.

[1:32:42] Opposed?

[1:32:44] Look.

[1:32:45] The motion passes.

[1:32:48] Okay.

[1:32:48] Next item on our agenda.

[1:32:50] Item six.

[1:32:53] Planning update by David Crompton.

[1:32:59] Thank you.

[1:33:01] Not a lot of movement on our applications.

[1:33:05] As you know, it's kind of the big applications that we are kind of reviewing are includes

[1:33:10] the Village Shopping Center, apartments, 200 apartment units.

[1:33:15] We are kind of working with the applicant.

[1:33:19] We're working with the applicant and there are attorneys in our attorney's kind of making

[1:33:22] sure one on the same page with the density bonus and the waivers and what have you that

[1:33:27] They have requested, at the next meeting on June 10th.

[1:33:35] Here, before you, we will be bringing a revised inclusionary housing

[1:33:41] ordinance.

[1:33:41] And that's one of the things that we wanted to do or the required

[1:33:45] to do as part of our housing implementation plan.

[1:33:48] And we're also bringing to you a revisions to our tree ordinance,

[1:33:53] which we haven't looked at in a while.

[1:33:54] And we feel like it's time to look at that again,

[1:33:58] given some of the recent, some of the things

[1:33:59] we're experiencing with fire, danger,

[1:34:03] and insurance companies, demands for trigger

[1:34:06] models and what have you.

[1:34:08] So that's why we're bringing it.

[1:34:11] And we'll talk about that in a couple of weeks.

[1:34:15] If you have any questions about anything else

[1:34:16] on our own town, I'd be glad to try to answer.

[1:34:20] Did more of a capital plan project question,

[1:34:24] Park and Ryan, where were we at that?

[1:34:27] That's on the back burner.

[1:34:30] Yeah, I don't know.

[1:34:31] I don't think that that's planned on being funded any time soon.

[1:34:39] Diablo Road, bike path.

[1:34:42] That's coming.

[1:34:43] So we've got the environmental clearances.

[1:34:46] We're looking at the, like the final engineered plans for them.

[1:34:52] I think that we are looking at getting that kicked off later this summer into the fall

[1:34:56] so that's finally the horizon.

[1:35:00] And what about Lagonda Bridge?

[1:35:04] Um, the blonde bridge, I haven't heard anything about it.

[1:35:06] I know that you know, Council just listened to a study session on the CIP projects that I didn't

[1:35:12] listen to all of and maybe they might be able to.

[1:35:18] You know, I know that there was, yeah, I have to get back you on that one.

[1:35:25] That's post meeting discussion.

[1:35:29] Anything else?

[1:35:31] Nope.

[1:35:31] I know I have a lot of happy neighbors with the trail coming down Diablo Road.

[1:35:36] So, help really?

[1:35:37] Yeah, they're looking forward to it.

[1:35:39] Some of the bikes off the road.

[1:35:41] Yeah, so that'll be a good thing.

[1:35:43] Anything from the commissioners?

[1:35:47] No?

[1:35:48] Well, nothing else than meetings a wrap at 6.35.

[1:35:55] Thank you.

[1:35:57] Thank you.

[1:35:58] Thank you.
