[1:22]
R-1 residential to PUD five
[1:24]
plan to Golf Entertainment
[1:25]
District at 5550 555. Ivan Rest

[1:35]
Course. Colton. Good evening.
[1:37]
Good evening commissioners. I'm
[1:38]
here to present our first
[1:40]
agenda item of the night, whi
[1:42]
includes both a preliminary PUD
[1:44]
approval as well as
[1:46]
recommending the rezoning
[1:47]
request at hand for this these
[1:49]
two properties. So the request
[1:51]
is for that PUD five
[1:53]
designation. This ithe
[1:54]
planned golf entertainment
[1:56]
district. And the two parcels
[1:57]
we're talking about, as Rose
[1:58]
mentioned, is both 5550 555
[2:02]
Iver Avenue southwest. So just
[2:05]
to give some background. Many
[2:07]
of you are familiar with PUD
[2:09]
five, but generally speaking,
[2:10]
this is a relatively new zoning
[2:13]
district. This was actually
[2:14]
established this past year. It
[2:16]
came before this body in April
[2:18]
was approved by City Council.
[2:20]
In June of 2026. There were
[2:22]
some primary factors that
[2:23]
really drove this to be created
[2:26]
in the first place. Unique
[2:27]
zoning challenges that our
[2:28]
current golf courses face,
[2:30]
demand and economic benefits
[2:32]
that come from some of those
[2:34]
additional business recreation
[2:36]
activities that a golf course
[2:37]
could do. And doing this with
[2:39]
the neighborhood in mind.
[2:41]
Neighborhood sensitivity is one
[2:42]
of those items that golf
[2:44]
courses historically have been
[2:45]
very good at, and ideally will
[2:47]
continue under this type of
[2:48]
zoning district. So due to some
[2:50]
of those adjacent uses that are
[2:52]
typically found next to golf
[2:55]
courses, there have been a few
[2:56]
things that were added as
[2:57]
you're all aware. But just to
[2:58]
make everyone aware into this
[3:01]
PUD district, so that addresses
[3:03]
lighting, setbacks, hours of
[3:05]
operation and screening. Again,
[3:07]
this district is meant for golf
[3:08]
courses that wish to offer
[3:10]
offer complimentary low volume
[3:13]
business recreation activities
[3:14]
to support that primary golf
[3:16]
course. So just to go over the
[3:20]
process as it is,ypically
[3:22]
anytime someone would likto
[3:23]
go for a PUDevelopment,
[3:25]
there's a pre meeting. This is
[3:27]
where staff actually meets with
[3:28]
them, discusses the proposed
[3:30]
project, what they would like
[3:31]
to do and how it might align
[3:33]
with with the city's goals and
[3:34]
what those qualifying
[3:35]
conditions are. Then the
[3:38]
applicant would go for
[3:39]
preliminary PUD and rezoning.
[3:41]
So this consists of an
[3:43]
application, a conceptual plan
[3:44]
and a project narrative. This
[3:46]
would ideally set that PUD in
[3:47]
the framework of the district.
[3:49]
And you can see here some of
[3:51]
the the dates that are involved
[3:53]
here today. Planning Commission
[3:55]
reviews. It recommends approval
[3:57]
denial to the City Council,
[3:59]
which then reviews it on
[4:01]
October 5th and November 2nd.
[4:03]
The final step is for final PUD
[4:06]
adoption, which runs
[4:08]
concurrently with the site plan
[4:09]
review. So this is just
[4:12]
verifying that it's
[4:13]
substantially consistent with
[4:13]
that concept plan. But it
[4:15]
drills much deeper into the
[4:17]
specifics of site plan approval.
[4:19]
If there's any special use
[4:21]
requirements, all of those
[4:22]
different factors and what the
[4:23]
PUD district requires is
[4:26]
verified and finalized at that
[4:28]
point. So this i reviewed and
[4:29]
apoved by Planning Commission.
[4:33]
So generally speaking this is
[4:35]
the PUD five concept plan that
[4:37]
was submitted. I've added a
[4:39]
legend just to help with some
[4:41]
of the different featus that
[4:42]
are on this site. There's a lot
[4:44]
of different colors, so I just
[4:45]
like to help break it down a
[4:47]
little bit. Some of the
[4:48]
existing buildings, which there
[4:49]
are 11, are shown in orange. So
[4:51]
you'll see a lot of it kind of
[4:54]
congregating up. If I can get
[4:57]
this feature to work. I'm
[5:00]
having no luck. So I guess I'll
[5:02]
just describe it. Everythg
[5:03]
you see in orange, which is
[5:05]
primarily focused on that
[5:06]
existing golf course, our
[5:08]
existing buildings. So a lot of
[5:10]
this has to do with business
[5:11]
recreation across the entire
[5:12]
site. There's about 33,000ftS
[5:15]
of existing buildings. What you
[5:17]
see in red in that tannish
[5:19]
color are proposed buildings,
[5:20]
either through expansions of
[5:21]
existing buildings or new
[5:24]
buildings themselves. So you'll
[5:25]
see some of these on the
[5:27]
driving range parcel and some
[5:29]
also on the golf course parcel.
[5:32]
You'll see driveways, parking
[5:33]
lots being proposed and then
[5:35]
some additional business
[5:37]
recreation features, mini golf,
[5:38]
lawn seating and short game
[5:40]
practice range. So some of
[5:42]
those are focused on the
[5:44]
driving range parcel.
[5:46]
Considering that the majority
[5:48]
of that Western parcel is
[5:50]
dedicated to the golf course
[5:52]
itself. Sgoing to our
[5:56]
rezoning revw standards,
[5:57]
there are five. They range from
[5:59]
master plan consistency to uses
[6:02]
within the proposed zoning. All
[6:04]
of these were included within
[6:05]
your pact. And so throughout
[6:07]
this presentation, I'll really
[6:08]
be summarizing and making sure
[6:09]
that the most important
[6:11]
information is delivered. But
[6:13]
again, all of thiis
[6:14]
information you've already
[6:14]
received in your packets and
[6:15]
have had the chance to review
[6:19]
PUD five. Review standards are
[6:20]
cluded here, again ranging
[6:21]
from location all the way to
[6:23]
achievement of zoning and
[6:24]
economic harmony. All of these
[6:27]
different review standards are
[6:28]
are really the qualifying
[6:29]
conditions on whether or not
[6:31]
something would meet the
[6:32]
qualifications for a PUD five.
[6:35]
Those have been, again,
[6:36]
included in your packets, and
[6:37]
we'll go over some of them here
[6:39]
as well. So to begin the futures
[6:43]
are designated as suburban
[6:45]
redential and neighborhood
[6:46]
commercial center. So as you're
[6:49]
all familiar with this future
[6:51]
land use designation, Suburban
[6:52]
Residential contemplates that
[6:54]
residential development. It
[6:55]
also encourages PUD development.
[6:58]
Neighborhood Commercial center
[6:59]
is really meant for placemaking
[7:01]
local neighborhood businesses
[7:02]
that that really serve that
[7:04]
neighborhood. So the proposed
[7:05]
PUD plan does achieve that
[7:07]
preserved open space component
[7:10]
that is really desired in
[7:11]
suburban residential. It talks
[7:12]
about low volume commercial
[7:14]
offerings and and gathering
[7:15]
spaces within the neighborhood.
[7:17]
So this doesn't align with the
[7:19]
intention of a few parcels in
[7:21]
this case that have two
[7:22]
different types of designations
[7:24]
within the future land use. It
[7:26]
also should be noted that that
[7:28]
PUD five would achieve elements
[7:30]
of the neighborhood commercial
[7:31]
district that are fairly
[7:33]
difficult, with a baseline
[7:35]
business district that would
[7:37]
offer a whole host of
[7:38]
businesses that might not
[7:41]
interact well with this type of
[7:42]
future land use designation. So
[7:44]
this is one way to achieve it.
[7:46]
And according to the Future
[7:47]
Land Use designation, this
[7:49]
prosed project would align
[7:51]
with it. Moving on to our
[7:54]
zoning map, reference it here.
[7:55]
But both of these parcels zoned
[7:58]
residential, that's one of the
[7:59]
key indicators that actually
[8:01]
spurred on the designation of
[8:03]
the PUD five district. It's the
[8:05]
fact that under those E, R, R1,
[8:08]
and R2 zoning districts, which
[8:10]
all of the golf courses in
[8:11]
Wyoming are in, there are
[8:13]
severe limitations to what a
[8:14]
golf course can do with regards
[8:16]
to accessory structures, and
[8:17]
I'll get into that more in just
[8:19]
a moment. But you can see here
[8:21]
we've got a variety of
[8:22]
residential puds that are
[8:23]
located nearby. Some mor
[8:25]
recent developments that you're
[8:26]
familiar with in the area. And
[8:28]
you can see the current use
[8:29]
again is that golf course use.
[8:32]
So under current zoning, a
[8:33]
state residential and R-1
[8:35]
residential golf courses are
[8:36]
permitted through special use
[8:38]
approval. But as it stands
[8:39]
right now, like I mentioned,
[8:41]
expansion is not permitted.
[8:42]
That's because the golf course
[8:44]
in this case is playing by the
[8:46]
same rules that the single
[8:47]
family house is playing by with
[8:49]
regards to accessory structures.
[8:50]
So they would only get two
[8:51]
accessory structures, and it
[8:52]
would be based on the square
[8:54]
footage with with a pretty hard
[8:55]
limit. That's the rules that
[8:57]
all of our golf courses have
[8:59]
been playing by. And, and PUD
[9:01]
five was a way to allowome
[9:02]
expansion that's still
[9:03]
sensitive to the neighborhood.
[9:05]
So the PUD five here in this
[9:08]
case allows golf courses to
[9:09]
function, expand in a manner
[9:10]
that is sensitive to those
[9:12]
neighbhood properties. Again,
[9:13]
the idea here is to continue
[9:15]
that low volume recreational
[9:17]
activity, preserving green
[9:18]
space and offering some of that
[9:20]
neighborhood commercial
[9:21]
activity. The properties to be
[9:24]
rezoned here total over 100
[9:26]
acres. The minimum requirement
[9:27]
for PUD fiv that contains an
[9:30]
18 hole golf course is 80cres,
[9:32]
so that requirement is met. The
[9:33]
current site is an 18 hole golf
[9:36]
course, which would continue to
[9:37]
be that primary use under the
[9:39]
proposed PUD plan. All the
[9:41]
activities that are being
[9:42]
proposed here are merely to
[9:44]
support that primary use. No
[9:46]
housing is proposed in this PUD
[9:48]
plan, which is one of the
[9:49]
requirements, and the
[9:51]
property's proposed to be
[9:53]
rezoned, are currently served
[9:54]
by public services and
[9:56]
utilities. One thing that's
[9:57]
noted as a condition is the
[9:58]
requirement for that utility
[9:59]
plan. Once site pn approval
[10:01]
process comes through, as
[10:04]
stated in section 9420 C, golf
[10:08]
courses typically are found
[10:09]
within those residentially
[10:10]
zoned areas, which, as I've
[10:13]
mentioned, can limit their
[10:14]
ability to expand and adapt to
[10:15]
the market needs in a creative
[10:17]
manner. So PUD five seeks to
[10:20]
resolve that, and in this case,
[10:22]
the proposed PUD does involve a
[10:24]
variety of different business
[10:25]
recreation activities. As noted
[10:27]
in your packet, this includes
[10:29]
anything from mini golf to
[10:31]
additional indoor space that
[10:32]
could be dedicated toward
[10:34]
business recreation, to fitting
[10:36]
clubs or club fitting, as well
[10:38]
as, you know, some event space
[10:41]
for, you know, golf course,diffe
[10:45]
through. So if it's an outing,
[10:46]
thatavilion that was noted on
[10:48]
the southern west portion of of
[10:50]
the entire site would be
[10:52]
dedicated towards that. So
[10:55]
continued business recreation
[10:56]
activity and open space in this
[10:58]
case is suitable since it's
[10:59]
adjacent to the intersections
[11:01]
of 50. Excuse me, 56th and Ivan
[11:04]
Rest. One thing to note here is
[11:06]
that the location has
[11:07]
functioned successfully for the
[11:09]
past. I belve it's 58 years
[11:11]
working well with the
[11:12]
neighborhood. Finally, the
[11:14]
applicant's plan does allow for
[11:15]
that creativity while
[11:16]
maintaining some of those
[11:17]
community benefits that we
[11:18]
talked about before. This
[11:19]
includes green space
[11:21]
preservation and recreational
[11:22]
amenities. Now I'll talk about
[11:25]
open space because when we look
[11:26]
at all of our different zoning
[11:28]
districts, specifically PUD
[11:30]
five pertains to the most
[11:33]
preservation. Probably the
[11:34]
closest thing would be our PUD
[11:36]
four, which would require at
[11:38]
the most, 35% of the lot to be
[11:41]
dedicated to open ace. In
[11:42]
this case, we're seeing 98.25%
[11:45]
of the lot dedicated towards
[11:47]
open space. And this maintains
[11:49]
that green space on the site
[11:51]
and restricts buildings to
[11:54]
1.75% of the total land area.
[11:56]
So of that total, 1.75% of the
[11:59]
total land area PUD five allows
[12:02]
for a breakdown of different
[12:04]
percentages to different types
[12:06]
of buildings. This seeks to
[12:08]
provide that healthy balance of
[12:10]
business, recreation,
[12:11]
activities, things that are new
[12:12]
and can support the golf course,
[12:14]
as well as things that are
[12:15]
necessary, like maintenance and
[12:16]
storage buildings. It also
[12:18]
factors in incidental
[12:19]
structures. So you'll see the
[12:21]
breakdown here business,
[12:23]
recreation, storage and
[12:23]
maintenance and incidental
[12:24]
structures all have maximum
[12:26]
builng counts as well as
[12:27]
maximum square footages. All of
[12:29]
this does fall within that
[12:31]
1.75% of total land area. In
[12:35]
the case of Maple Hill, the
[12:37]
applicant's only proposing to
[12:38]
utilize 1.56% of that total
[12:41]
land area for buildings.
[12:43]
Currently, as I mentioned,
[12:44]
there are 11 buildings on site.
[12:45]
The applicants proposing to
[12:46]
demolish two, construct three
[12:48]
and expand two existing
[12:50]
buildings. So you'll see the
[12:52]
breakdown here. A total of 12
[12:54]
structures totaling to around
[12:56]
that 70,000 square foot mark.
[12:59]
This is spread across the site
[13:00]
and andoes fall within the
[13:02]
requirements for building lot
[13:03]
coverage and open space. One of
[13:07]
the final few slides I'll cover
[13:09]
is just the achievement of
[13:10]
zoning and economic harmony.
[13:12]
Three requirements actually
[13:13]
must be met under the
[13:14]
qualifying conditions and
[13:15]
through a complementary mix of
[13:17]
land uses, preservation of open
[13:19]
space and green space, natural
[13:21]
features included, and the
[13:22]
creation of a community asset.
[13:23]
All are found by staff to be
[13:25]
some of those qualifying
[13:26]
conditions that show the
[13:27]
achievement of both zoning and
[13:28]
economic harmony. Again
[13:30]
achieving the overall purpose
[13:32]
of PUD five. Finally, review
[13:36]
considerations. This proposed
[13:37]
PUD concept plan does does
[13:40]
containhat required
[13:41]
information to understand the
[13:43]
project. For the purposes of
[13:45]
rezoning and preliminary PUD
[13:47]
consideration. So this is
[13:48]
something that's typically done.
[13:49]
That concept plais really
[13:50]
just meant to give an
[13:52]
understanding of what's being
[13:53]
proposed. Generally speaking,
[13:55]
it's not meant to substitute
[13:56]
that site plan which will
[13:58]
follow itngside with fin
[14:00]
PUD approval. Site plan review
[14:03]
is considered again, as I
[14:04]
mentioned at a later stage.
[14:06]
This ensures that the
[14:07]
development meets all
[14:08]
applicable site plan review
[14:10]
requirements, things like
[14:11]
stormwater and traffic. Those
[14:12]
are not really considered at
[14:14]
this stage. They're considered
[14:15]
at that stage. Any buildings
[14:18]
within that concept plan, if
[14:20]
they are prosed to be changed,
[14:22]
or if this concept plan were to
[14:23]
change in the future, this
[14:24]
would come back before planning
[14:26]
commison for a PUD amendment,
[14:28]
and we would follow the same
[14:29]
notification process that we
[14:30]
did before. One thing to note
[14:32]
here is that within the PUD
[14:34]
framework, there's the chance
[14:36]
for the applicant to request
[14:38]
deviations from what the
[14:39]
requirements are, and in this
[14:40]
case, the applicant is not
[14:41]
requesting any of those and is
[14:43]
and is wanting to follow all of
[14:44]
the regulations set in PUD five
[14:47]
and any conditions relating to
[14:48]
that future site plan
[14:50]
requirements. Those are noted
[14:51]
as conditions. So you'll notice
[14:53]
in your packets, condition two
[14:54]
does just give the applicant a
[14:56]
heads up of all the different
[14:57]
requirements that will need to
[14:59]
be met f site plan review.
[15:02]
With that, the development
[15:03]
Review team recommends Planning
[15:04]
Commission grant the PUD five
[15:06]
rezoning request at 5550 555
[15:09]
Avenue Southwest, and recommend
[15:11]
the same to City Council,
[15:13]
subject to conditions one and
[15:14]
two. I'm available if anyone
[15:16]
has any questions. Thank you,
[15:17]
thank you. Colton. At this time,
[15:20]
I'm going to open up public
[15:22]
comment period on agenda item
[15:24]
number one. Again, it's
[15:25]
important to note that this is
[15:27]
not an opportunity for dialog
[15:29]
or debate, but an opportunity
[15:31]
provide comments to us. The
[15:33]
Planning Commission can, upon
[15:35]
approag the podium, please
[15:36]
folks podium provide you
[15:38]
provide your name, your address,
[15:41]
and you have a three minute
[15:42]
time limit. Anybody like to
[15:47]
come up? And as you'll see, and
[16:00]
I'll remind you too,here's
[16:02]
three minutes. Yep. Thank you.
[16:04]
So I don't want to be rude and
[16:05]
say you got five. I'm watching
[16:07]
it too, so I will, but inperiode
[16:10]
welcome. Alright. My name is
[16:12]
Jeff. I reside at 2972 South
[16:14]
Horseshoe Drive, southwest
[16:17]
649418. Good evening, members
[16:19]
of the Pnning Commission. I'm
[16:20]
speaking on behalf of our
[16:22]
neighborhood coalition. We
[16:23]
strongly oppose rezoning Maple
[16:25]
Hill Golf District from
[16:27]
residential zoning to a PUD
[16:29]
five planned golfntertainment
[16:30]
district granting permanent
[16:32]
commercial rezoning before true
[16:35]
engineering and environmental
[16:35]
due diligence is completed
[16:37]
seems premature. Specifically,
[16:40]
the proposed building
[16:41]
footprints and impermeable
[16:43]
paving encroach directly into
[16:45]
vulnerable local floodplains,
[16:47]
sensitive wetland areas, and
[16:49]
natural drainage corridors tied
[16:50]
to the hmful drain system.
[16:52]
This reality is officially
[16:54]
documented in Kent County Drain
[16:55]
Commission records, the Buck
[16:56]
Creek Watershed Management Plan
[16:58]
and Municipal Planning reports
[17:00]
under part 303 of the Michigan
[17:03]
Natural Resources Environmental
[17:04]
Protection Act. Excuse me.
[17:06]
These vital environmental areas
[17:08]
require strict prior statutory
[17:10]
oversight from the Michigan
[17:12]
Department of Environment,
[17:13]
Great Lakes and Energy, or Ee.
[17:15]
When you repce mature turf,
[17:17]
absorbent topsoil and natural
[17:20]
contours with massive
[17:21]
commercial structures and
[17:22]
asphalt, the land's natural
[17:24]
infiltration capacity drops to
[17:25]
near zero. This drastic
[17:27]
reduction in permeability
[17:29]
accelerates surface runoff
[17:30]
directly toward neighboring
[17:32]
residential yards, such as my
[17:34]
own, worsening local water
[17:36]
table imbalances and straining
[17:37]
the existing ditches without
[17:40]
rigorous state level guarantees
[17:41]
and comprehensive stormwater
[17:43]
drainage protection. Altering
[17:44]
these natural drainage routes
[17:46]
leaves adjacent homeowners to
[17:47]
shoulder severe structural,
[17:49]
foundational, and water damage
[17:51]
risks. We cannot afford to
[17:53]
gamble with our community's
[17:54]
water management infrastructure
[17:55]
for a commercial concept plan,
[17:58]
we urge the commission to
[17:59]
protect our watershed, uphold
[18:01]
state environmental protections,
[18:02]
and reject this PUD five
[18:04]
rezoning. Thank you, thank you.
[18:11]
My name is Greg Warson. 2977
[18:14]
Florence Drive, southwest
[18:16]
Wyoming. I'm also speaking on
[18:18]
behalf of the Neighborhood
[18:19]
Coalition, who opposes the
[18:20]
Maple Hill proposal for
[18:22]
rezoning. As noting, regarding
[18:24]
the lack of engineering and due
[18:27]
diligence, this proposal
[18:28]
advances without complete
[18:30]
independent studies required
[18:31]
under the Wyoming Zoning Zoning
[18:33]
Ordinance and Standard
[18:35]
Municipal Municipal Site Plan
[18:37]
review guidelines. Specifically,
[18:40]
this application lacks
[18:42]
comprehensive stormwater
[18:44]
shifting data, detailed decibel
[18:46]
noise projections, and
[18:49]
certified heavy vehicle routing
[18:51]
plans under municipal Planning
[18:53]
criteria and standard site plan
[18:55]
review requirements. Granting
[18:57]
permanent zoning changes.
[18:59]
Without these baseline
[19:00]
technical reports violates
[19:03]
standard municipal planning
[19:04]
practices, practices, records
[19:06]
from Egle and local planning
[19:08]
standards dictate tha
[19:10]
commercial expansions adjacent
[19:12]
to residential zones must
[19:14]
provide verifiable
[19:17]
environmental and traffic
[19:17]
pact data before any formal
[19:20]
consideratio Approving the
[19:22]
conditional zoning without this,
[19:24]
mandatory documentation forces
[19:26]
neighborhood residents to bear
[19:28]
the full burden of uncertainty
[19:30]
regarding structural, acoustic,
[19:33]
and environmental disruptions.
[19:35]
Commercial applicants in their
[19:37]
engineering teams often expect
[19:38]
residential opposition to focus
[19:40]
solely on emotional or
[19:41]
superficial complaints. But our
[19:43]
neighborhoods data driven, data
[19:46]
driven concerns focused
[19:47]
directly on these missing
[19:49]
technical studies. Without
[19:51]
verified decibel modeling and
[19:53]
traffic routing, we are left
[19:55]
entirely in the dark regarding
[19:56]
the operational noise and the
[19:58]
transport risks that these
[20:00]
commercial structures introduce.
[20:03]
Thus, I urge the Commission and
[20:05]
the City Council to protect our
[20:07]
community safety and property
[20:09]
values by denying this
[20:11]
premature zoning. Please accept
[20:13]
my thanks for your time and
[20:15]
attention and your important
[20:16]
work on this Planning
[20:17]
Commission. Thank you. Sam.
[20:26]
2972 South Horseshoe Drive,
[20:27]
southwest 49418. Hello, my name
[20:31]
is Sam and I am speaking on
[20:32]
behalf of our neighborhood
[20:34]
alition, which opposes the
[20:35]
Maple Hill rezoning request.
[20:37]
While I recognize that the
[20:39]
Maple Hill Golf Course has been
[20:41]
a recreational part of this
[20:42]
community for more than five
[20:44]
decades, the proposed PUD five
[20:47]
rezoning introduces a level of
[20:49]
commercial activity that we
[20:50]
believe is fundamentally
[20:53]
incompatible with our
[20:54]
established residentialneighbore
[20:58]
concept plan includes a 300
[21:01]
zero square foot commercial
[21:02]
warehouse and loading dock on
[21:03]
property that directly borders
[21:05]
single family backyards,
[21:07]
including my own, a warehouse
[21:09]
and loading operation of this
[21:11]
size brings commercial trucks,
[21:14]
deliveries, loading and
[21:15]
unloading, and backup alarms
[21:17]
when those activities are
[21:18]
taking place right behind
[21:20]
people's homes, they ve the
[21:21]
potential to significantly
[21:23]
change theeaceful character
[21:25]
of our neighborhood. The
[21:27]
applicant's presentation and
[21:29]
concept documents emphasize
[21:30]
that the proposed buildings
[21:32]
would cover just 1.56% of the
[21:35]
overall property, sitting
[21:37]
slightly below the 1.75 maximum,
[21:39]
as we heard earlier. But that
[21:42]
percentage does not tell the
[21:43]
whole story. Having open space
[21:48]
elsewhere on the property does
[21:49]
not lessen the impact of
[21:51]
placing a commercial warehouse
[21:52]
and loading operation of this
[21:54]
size directly alongside
[21:56]
residential backyards. For
[21:59]
families whose homes border
[22:00]
this property, this isn't just
[22:03]
about what percent of the land
[22:04]
is being developed, it's about
[22:06]
what will be right outside our
[22:08]
backyards and how that will
[22:09]
affect not only our property
[22:11]
values, but the way we live in
[22:13]
and enjoy our homes and
[22:15]
communy. We believe the
[22:19]
requested changes are simply
[22:20]
not compatible with the
[22:22]
residential neighborhood that
[22:23]
is already here. For those
[22:25]
reasons, we respectfully ask
[22:26]
the Planning Commission not to
[22:29]
recommend the approval of this
[22:31]
rezoning. Thank you, thank you.
[22:40]
Good evening. Members of the
[22:41]
Planning Commission, neighbors
[22:44]
and residents of Wyoming. My
[22:45]
name is Lisa Homes, and I live
[22:48]
at 2965 South Horseshoe Drive,
[22:50]
southwest, a property that is
[22:52]
within the 600ft of the
[22:54]
proposed Maple Hills, PUD five
[22:57]
rezoning. I have come re
[22:59]
tonight to speak on behalf of
[23:00]
our neighborhood coalition
[23:03]
opposing this rezoning. The
[23:06]
intensification of neighrhood.
[23:08]
Excuse me. The intensification
[23:11]
of commercial uses proposed,
[23:13]
which includes a multi use
[23:15]
miniature golf course, a retail
[23:18]
ice cream operation and anindusc
[23:23]
will place an excessive burden
[23:27]
on the Avon Avenue and 56th
[23:30]
Street corridor. Traffic and
[23:33]
planning data show that this
[23:35]
regional intersection is
[23:37]
heavily congested during peak
[23:39]
hours. These uses will increase
[23:43]
the traffic, vehicle turnover,
[23:46]
commeral deliveries and over
[23:49]
activity in an areahat is
[23:51]
already experiencing
[23:54]
significant congestion.
[23:58]
Introducing increased vehicle
[23:59]
turnover, commercial delivery
[24:02]
trucks and hh volume patrons
[24:05]
will also directly compromise
[24:08]
pedestrian safety. School
[24:10]
traffic and area residents
[24:12]
using the Kent Trails Network,
[24:15]
while major streets are
[24:17]
designed to handle the regional
[24:20]
traffic better than local side
[24:21]
streets, the specific influx of
[24:25]
commercial delivery vehicles
[24:28]
mixing with pedestrian traffic
[24:30]
creates severe safety hazards.
[24:34]
Approving a conditional
[24:36]
rezoning without a
[24:38]
comprehensive independent
[24:40]
traffic impact study ignores
[24:42]
the very real daily risks that
[24:46]
are posed to our children, our
[24:49]
bicyclists, and the families
[24:51]
that navigate this corridor
[24:53]
daily. We cannot, nor should we
[24:57]
have to trade our local
[25:00]
pedestrian safety and local
[25:04]
non-motorized trail security
[25:06]
for a unvetted commercial
[25:09]
development on a corridor that
[25:11]
is already stretched to its
[25:14]
absolute limits. Therefore, we
[25:17]
ask that a proper and
[25:19]
comprehensive traff impact
[25:21]
study be done before you before
[25:25]
any rezoning decision is. Thank
[25:29]
you, thank you. Hi, my name is
[25:37]
Susan Morrison and I live at
[25:40]
2977 Florence Drive, southwest.
[25:43]
I'm speaking tonight on behalf
[25:45]
of our neighborhood coalition,
[25:47]
which opposes the Maple Hill
[25:50]
rezoning request. The applicant
[25:53]
relies heavily on the newly
[25:55]
established PUD five framework.
[25:58]
True. That frameworkas
[26:00]
created to allow things like
[26:02]
small scale event spaces,
[26:05]
restaurants, or club fitting
[26:08]
things that naturally support a
[26:10]
golf course. However, it was
[26:14]
never meant to cover industrial
[26:18]
warehouses, logistics centers,
[26:20]
loading docks, or truck traffic
[26:22]
around the perimeterf the
[26:24]
property directl next to
[26:26]
nearby homes. Trying to trying
[26:32]
to build a 30,000 square foot
[26:36]
distribution distribution
[26:37]
facility and calling it a golf
[26:40]
amenity that completely throws
[26:43]
off the balance between
[26:45]
neighborhood green space and
[26:47]
residential property lines. We
[26:50]
have to hold the applicant to
[26:52]
what PUD five was actually
[26:54]
written for, instead of letting
[26:57]
it act as a back door for heavy
[26:59]
commercial expansion. If a golf
[27:02]
course is allowed to outline a
[27:05]
large scale iustrial
[27:07]
warehouse under the umbrella of
[27:09]
golf course support, it
[27:13]
completely breaks the point of
[27:14]
having residential protections
[27:16]
in our city in the first place.
[27:21]
Zoning rules exist for a reason,
[27:24]
and pushing PUD five way past
[27:28]
its intended purpose sets a
[27:31]
dangerous precedent for every
[27:33]
single neighborhood in Wyoming.
[27:37]
Thank you for listening. Thank
[27:39]
you. Good evening. My name is
[27:49]
Rob Bosher. I live at 2980
[27:53]
Florence Drive, and that's
[27:55]
immediately east of the Maple
[27:56]
Hill driving range. I'm
[27:58]
speaking on behalf of our
[28:00]
neighborhood coalition, which
[28:03]
opposes the Maple Hill rezoning.
[28:05]
Request. An examination of the
[28:09]
concept site map in this
[28:11]
proposal reveals troubling
[28:14]
deficiencies in buffer lines
[28:15]
and setbacks, particularly
[28:18]
along the Eastern residential
[28:20]
Property line. Proposed
[28:24]
landscap buffer lines appear
[28:26]
compressed or route directly
[28:28]
through existing structural
[28:31]
areas. They fail to eliminate
[28:32]
the physical, visual, and
[28:36]
acoustic separation mandated by
[28:38]
our local zoning ordinances.
[28:41]
Accurate boundary mapping and
[28:42]
strict adherence to setback
[28:45]
requirements are the only
[28:47]
barriers protecting adjacent
[28:49]
homeowners from intrusive light
[28:51]
and noise pollution. When the
[28:55]
concept map shows margins that
[28:58]
narrow near residential
[29:01]
property lines, it demonstrates
[29:03]
a mapping precision failure.
[29:06]
This should be addressed by the
[29:08]
Planning Commission before
[29:10]
considering any rezoning
[29:11]
approval. Residents residents
[29:14]
should not have to guess
[29:17]
whether visual and acoustic
[29:19]
buffers will actually exist.
[29:21]
Once heavy machinery delivery
[29:23]
vehicles, commercial storage
[29:25]
operations begin functioning
[29:27]
right across their fences.
[29:32]
Thank you for your time tonight
[29:35]
for your careful review of the
[29:38]
technical data thatmpends on
[29:40]
our residential neighborhoods.
[29:43]
We are grateful for your
[29:45]
dedication to protecting the
[29:47]
integrity and fabric of our
[29:50]
residential communities. Thank
[29:54]
you. Good evening. I am Richard
[30:08]
Kitchen. I reside in Byron
[30:11]
Center. You're the owner and
[30:12]
will be the owner and developer
[30:14]
of golf course. Yes, sir. I
[30:16]
will open your opportunity up
[30:18]
right after we close the public
[30:20]
hearing. Okay. I justant to
[30:22]
say a quick I came tonight,
[30:24]
it's my anniversary, by the way.
[30:26]
Yep. That's how dedicated I am.
[30:27]
I came tonight to answer
[30:30]
questions straight one on one.
[30:32]
I've heard some things here
[30:35]
that weren't exactly correct
[30:36]
and I'd like these people to
[30:38]
hear okay, but I okay, tell me
[30:40]
what you need to do. Here's
[30:42]
what I need to do, I. Duringour,
[30:49]
that's the opportunity. Well,
[30:50]
I'll be able to get the owner
[30:52]
and the developer up. Okay.
[30:53]
Give ten minutes of the time.
[30:56]
My only because I can't explain
[30:58]
it here, but my only
[31:00]
recommendation to you, Mr.
[31:02]
Kitchen, would be is after we
[31:05]
get during this conversation.
[31:10]
Give me a second. I'm following
[31:13]
you trying to stay in th
[31:14]
procedure lineup here. I when
[31:22]
the developer comes up, once we
[31:24]
call the vote, once weake a
[31:26]
motion. Okay, then we as
[31:27]
planning commissioners can talk.
[31:29]
Okay, at that point, I can
[31:32]
bring you or the developer up
[31:35]
and ask you questions. And at
[31:36]
that time, there could be a
[31:39]
question from one of us to you,
[31:41]
okay? To them, that's how we
[31:43]
have to do this meeting tonight.
[31:45]
Well, if you can give if you
[31:46]
can, if you just let us follow
[31:48]
that process, let's see how
[31:49]
that goes. And if it if it
[31:52]
doesn't go, then I'll have you
[31:54]
get with the city at that point
[31:56]
to help out what my goal s to
[32:00]
be able to talk to these people.
[32:02]
Yeah. No, no, let's respect
[32:04]
everybody. Okay? But we're not
[32:07]
here to yell at people or this
[32:09]
and that. Well, we're all
[32:11]
adults. We're all going to
[32:12]
respect what this commission
[32:14]
does, what the owner does, and
[32:15]
what you people are presenting
[32:17]
to us. So let's show some
[32:18]
common courtesy and respect. So,
[32:20]
Mr. Kitchen, if you would trust
[32:22]
me and give me some time to get
[32:24]
through this, let's do it that
[32:27]
way. I can. I have a question.
[32:30]
I just need to know. Well, I'll
[32:31]
be able to talk to these peoe.
[32:33]
Let me get to that. Once we get
[32:35]
through this process, you'll
[32:36]
see once we get through this
[32:38]
process. So I need to know.
[32:39]
Okay. Yes, done. So hang tight,
[32:41]
I appreciate it. And again, we
[32:43]
have a we have a full house. We
[32:45]
have a lot of concerns. I
[32:47]
appreciate erybody be here.
[32:48]
But let's treat people with
[32:49]
dignity and respect. I don't
[32:51]
want to hear yelling sit down
[32:52]
or this and that because we're
[32:53]
not in grade school. Hi, my
[32:57]
name is Brett Prince. I've
[32:58]
lived at 3057 since 1994. I'm
[33:01]
just a concerned neighbor. I've
[33:04]
raised my daughter there, my
[33:07]
grandson now currently raised
[33:08]
at the same house across the
[33:11]
street. My neighbor has a pizza
[33:12]
oven that all the kids would
[33:14]
sit arod while he made pizzas
[33:15]
for them. It's right up to
[33:17]
where this warehouse is
[33:18]
intended to go. The drainage
[33:21]
creek is right behind their.
[33:23]
We've had this quaint nature.
[33:25]
Deer go through the
[33:26]
neighborhood, run right down
[33:27]
where they plan to build the
[33:29]
street. The warehouse. It's an
[33:32]
areahere Hawks live. Right
[33:34]
across from that is a swamp
[33:37]
area where the deer lay down.
[33:38]
This is stuff that we've had
[33:40]
for me for 32 years, and I
[33:42]
don't want to see what is my
[33:44]
nderful neighborhood turn
[33:45]
into an industrial complex. As
[33:48]
it is. I leave to take my
[33:49]
grandson to school each day.
[33:51]
Can't turn out from Becky.
[33:53]
Drive on to Ivan because
[33:54]
there's so much traffic from
[33:56]
the new apartment complexes,
[33:57]
the new neighborhoods, and
[33:58]
things that have been built in
[34:00]
the area. So just to get an
[34:02]
emotional side, instead of me
[34:04]
reading all the different
[34:05]
information that they spent a
[34:07]
lot of time looking up, this is
[34:08]
how a lot of people actually
[34:10]
feel. They spent the time to
[34:11]
look this all up, but the
[34:13]
emotions in it and watching our
[34:14]
kids and the danger to our kids,
[34:17]
that's what we're all concerned
[34:18]
about. Thanks. Thank you.
[34:28]
Anybody else like to come up?
[34:31]
Because once I close, the
[34:33]
meeting is closed for public
[34:34]
comment. I just want everybody
[34:36]
to get their opportunity in
[34:39]
seeing none. I will close the
[34:42]
public comment. Would the
[34:45]
developer owner like to come up?
[34:51]
Now? Yeah, Iean. Yeah, I'll
[34:56]
say a couple things, sir. You
[34:58]
have you get ten minutes. Okay.
[35:03]
The I know a lot of you are
[35:05]
concerned about wt you're
[35:06]
seeing up on the wall. And a
[35:09]
lot of that drawing I did
[35:10]
myself, the city asked me us my
[35:14]
business when we discussed
[35:16]
trying to. Build storage
[35:20]
facilities and that kind of
[35:20]
thing. And they said, anything
[35:22]
you can think of that you might
[35:23]
want to do down the road, put
[35:27]
it on this map. So the map you
[35:29]
saw earlier with red things and
[35:30]
yellow things, I did most of
[35:32]
the red ones myself. These were
[35:35]
all possibilities. We just
[35:38]
found out through my
[35:40]
superintendent and my general
[35:41]
manager there, that the
[35:43]
wahouse in the back of the
[35:44]
driving range can't happen, can
[35:47]
not happen. So we've got a lot
[35:50]
of people up in arms here about
[35:51]
that happening. It doesn't mean
[35:53]
it's not going to happen. It
[35:54]
can't happen. So that's out and
[35:56]
gone. There's a lot of
[35:58]
possibilities that we look for.
[36:00]
I've been there 51 years. I've
[36:01]
been the owner since 1970. I've
[36:05]
been there since 75, owner
[36:06]
since 7 And all the additions
[36:09]
and all the business things we
[36:11]
did were result of my planning.
[36:14]
I saw needs a we kept moving.
[36:17]
We kept moving forward. And
[36:18]
that's the way, as far as I'm
[36:20]
concerned, any good business
[36:21]
should do. It would look like.
[36:23]
Now, if we're going to try to
[36:25]
get a warehouse or storage
[36:27]
facility, it will be on the
[36:28]
golf course side and it will be
[36:31]
in a spot where there's not a
[36:33]
house in the neighborhood can
[36:35]
see it. That would be that's
[36:37]
our probably our main issue
[36:39]
right there, this ice cream
[36:40]
stuff and mini golf and all
[36:43]
that. That's a long ways down
[36:46]
the road, probably beyond my
[36:49]
lifetime and my son's, I have
[36:53]
two sons that run the business
[36:54]
as well as myself. I was a main
[36:57]
day to day operations until I
[36:58]
got diagnosed seven years ago.
[37:00]
And I'm kind of a part time
[37:01]
come in, come out. But I still
[37:03]
have a lot to say as far as the
[37:06]
planning and the things we're
[37:07]
trying to achieve there. A lot
[37:09]
of you probably don't know much
[37:10]
about golf or. But we are. I
[37:12]
consider us a pillar of the
[37:14]
community we employ. Employ 135
[37:17]
people, and we've been faithful
[37:20]
taxpayers since day one. And we
[37:24]
are. In my opinion, the
[37:29]
ultimate golf destination for
[37:32]
all the different categories.
[37:33]
We have kids programs, so fth
[37:35]
and so on. We feel like we do a
[37:37]
very good job there and we've
[37:39]
won awards and that kind of
[37:40]
stuff. We want to be. We have
[37:43]
no intention o riling feathers
[37:45]
here and whatever as far as we
[37:46]
want to move on to maybe save
[37:50]
ourselves some time and some
[37:51]
money. We have two off site
[37:52]
warehouses right now. We have
[37:54]
one in division on division and
[37:56]
one on 28th Street. And our
[37:58]
main concern there is to get
[37:59]
these close one of them down,
[38:01]
the one on 28th Street, which
[38:03]
would create. We'd have to
[38:05]
create more space on our golf
[38:07]
course site. That's basally
[38:10]
that's basically what we're
[38:11]
trying to do. And I've heard a
[38:12]
lot of things. Your concerns
[38:14]
and I understand concerns or
[38:16]
traffic or this or that, things
[38:18]
aren't going to stay the same
[38:20]
forever. It'd be nice, but
[38:22]
they're not. So as my sons get
[38:25]
older and we they've got to get
[38:27]
out from under this business,
[38:28]
we've got to consider what
[38:32]
fouls Maple Hill is. It's going
[38:34]
to be a golf course in seven
[38:36]
years, or it's going to be
[38:38]
condos, homes or wtever. And
[38:40]
we have to consider that also.
[38:42]
So we'd like to stay around as
[38:43]
long as possible. And some of
[38:45]
these things will help us do
[38:47]
at. And again, I'd like to
[38:52]
when I'm when we're done here,
[38:54]
if anybody would like to talk
[38:55]
to me one on one, that's what I
[38:57]
cameere basically for tonight.
[38:59]
I don't know exactly how this
[39:00]
how this meeting thing went,
[39:02]
but I'd be glad to answer
[39:04]
questions and do anything I can
[39:08]
to maybe set your mind a little
[39:09]
more at ease than you're
[39:11]
already any. Sir. We don't we
[39:15]
can't do questions right now.
[39:17]
No. Gentlemen, just change the
[39:21]
whole dynamic of the evening. I
[39:22]
think we're entitled. Ask a
[39:24]
question. No. Sir. We we you
[39:29]
had an opportunity for change
[39:31]
the dynamic. I understand, but
[39:33]
you had an opportunity. He came
[39:36]
up again. Mr. kitchen is is
[39:38]
willing to do a one on one with
[39:40]
you after we get done with the
[39:42]
vote. So that's why don't you
[39:46]
both. So there is sir. Yeah.
[39:49]
I'm I'm sorry. He made under.
[39:54]
No you're correct. He's he's
[39:58]
considerate. He heard what yougs
[40:01]
is not an opportunity to change
[40:03]
things. At the moment. We have
[40:05]
policies and procedures that
[40:06]
run in government that we have
[40:08]
to follow. It stings a little
[40:10]
bit, but we. This is how we
[40:12]
have to move forward with
[40:13]
tonight. So I appreciate your
[40:16]
comment and I appreciate your
[40:17]
concern. I truly do. However, I
[40:20]
can't change the structure of
[40:23]
the meeting because what you
[40:25]
heard from Mr. Kitchen changed
[40:27]
a whole lot of things. And some
[40:29]
people's mind, either the good
[40:30]
or the bad. Let us finish the
[40:32]
meeting out. Let us hear what
[40:33]
we have to say. That's the
[40:36]
proper way. Thank you. Thank
[40:42]
you, M Kitchens. Okay, then.
[40:44]
Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Okay.
[41:00]
Commissioners in fro of us,
[41:01]
we have one motion to grant the
[41:05]
PUD five rezoning request at
[41:11]
50 555 Iron Avenue Southwest,
[41:14]
and recommend the same to City
[41:16]
Council, subject to conditions
[41:18]
one and two. Commissioners I'm
[41:21]
looking for a motion. Motion by
[41:25]
Audrey, second by Robert.
[41:31]
Commissioners. Questions,
[41:32]
comments or concerns? Robert.
[41:34]
Yeah, I got a list. Hopefully
[41:37]
this will help get us some some
[41:39]
clarity. Colton. Do you want to
[41:41]
maybe or whomever from zoning
[41:42]
staf maybe, you know, for the
[41:45]
sake of, of all of us here,
[41:46]
talk a little bit about the
[41:48]
difference between a rezoning
[41:49]
and site plan approval, maybe
[41:51]
specifically bringing up the
[41:53]
kind of revie that goes into
[41:56]
to those distinctions, right?
[41:57]
For site plan review, that's
[41:58]
when we have engineering part
[42:00]
303. Love that. Shout out to
[42:02]
some state codes. ose are
[42:03]
really good things to know that
[42:04]
all needs and is going to be
[42:06]
important to any future
[42:07]
development, but that might not
[42:09]
be at this phase. Is that
[42:10]
enough of a preamble? Yeah,
[42:11]
that's that's perfect. Thank
[42:12]
you. So the site plan review
[42:14]
phase includes fully stamped
[42:18]
drawings by an architect or an
[42:19]
engineer This involves both an
[42:22]
application that goes out to
[42:23]
our development review team,
[42:24]
which includes fire engineering,
[42:27]
assessing building, police
[42:29]
planning. All those bodies
[42:31]
spend a few weeks actually
[42:32]
reviewing the submitted plans,
[42:34]
making sure that they align
[42:35]
with all of the various code
[42:37]
sections that all of us review
[42:38]
and our expertise in. For us in
[42:41]
planning staff, that would have
[42:43]
to do with all of the PUD five
[42:45]
plan requirements, as well as
[42:46]
site plan approval. On top of
[42:48]
that, if it's something that
[42:49]
would require special use
[42:51]
approval, there's an additional
[42:52]
set of conditions that must be
[42:54]
met for that as well. All ofthar
[42:58]
consistent review standards.
[43:00]
Al in all, I mean we're over
[43:01]
20 review standards just from
[43:02]
planning side at this point. So
[43:04]
engineering takes a look that
[43:06]
includes all stormwar and and
[43:09]
make sure that, you know, the
[43:10]
structure itself is safe, but
[43:11]
also that it's not going to
[43:13]
create additional hazards to
[43:15]
neighboring properties. Fire is
[43:17]
making sure that it can access
[43:18]
the site, assessing, making
[43:20]
sure that, you know, there's no
[43:22]
buildings over parcel lines,
[43:23]
police building, everyone has
[43:24]
their own types of reviews.
[43:26]
That all gets presented
[43:28]
depending on the size of the
[43:30]
structure or the size of the
[43:31]
parcel, either before planning
[43:33]
commission or reviewed
[43:35]
administratively. Any case
[43:36]
where there's a special use
[43:37]
approval that goes before
[43:38]
Planning Commission, something
[43:40]
like the, forxample, a small
[43:43]
pavilion that's about 2000ftS
[43:45]
might not trigger that public
[43:47]
meeting. It's something that's
[43:48]
small and simple and gets
[43:50]
reviewed administratively.
[43:52]
Anything that's larger scale or
[43:53]
would require a public hearing
[43:55]
comes back before planning
[43:56]
commission. All of those
[43:57]
reviews and conditions of
[43:59]
approval are presented to the
[44:00]
Planning Commission, and the
[44:01]
Planni Commission reviews
[44:03]
that and makes a decision. So
[44:06]
briefly, I guess that's the
[44:07]
process. I can always go into
[44:08]
more detail. Yeah. So it's fair
[44:10]
to say that before anything,
[44:11]
like anything on that drawing
[44:13]
would get built, the proper due
[44:15]
diligence for the environmental
[44:17]
impacts, the buffers and
[44:19]
setbacks and impacts to drains,
[44:20]
the impacts to, you know, for
[44:23]
sound and acoustics. All those
[44:24]
things would have documentation
[44:25]
provided to the city for review.
[44:27]
Anhen we would have that and
[44:29]
that would be at that phase.
[44:31]
Whereas as this phase, it's
[44:32]
more just an opening of a door
[44:34]
to any future work that relates
[44:36]
to a golf course for this
[44:38]
property. That's correct. Okay.
[44:40]
Maybe that's worth bringing up,
[44:41]
I guess, because what would the
[44:44]
I guess what maybe help me
[44:46]
understand what a pud is, right?
[44:48]
For an example, planned unit
[44:50]
development gives the city a
[44:51]
certain amount of leverage to
[44:53]
control how development happens
[44:54]
on a parcel that maybe is not
[44:56]
possible for just residentially
[44:58]
platted property. Is that fair
[45:00]
to say? Yes, yes. Often planned
[45:03]
unit developments allow for a
[45:05]
miure of of different things,
[45:07]
you know, instead of just
[45:08]
single family platted. A pud
[45:11]
typically involves, you know, a
[45:12]
variety of different housing
[45:13]
types. In this case, it has to
[45:15]
do to allow some of those uses
[45:17]
that are deemed low volume
[45:20]
recreational amenities that can
[45:22]
be combined with the golf
[45:23]
course in this case. So it
[45:24]
allows for things that can't
[45:26]
actually be accomplished under
[45:28]
traditional zoning pn. Unit
[45:30]
developments allow for
[45:31]
something that's considered
[45:32]
creative and and suitable for
[45:34]
the area, including in actually
[45:36]
an increase in available open
[45:38]
space and unpaved or, you know,
[45:41]
constructed land. Right? A
[45:42]
single family housing plat
[45:44]
might be more dee than what
[45:45]
the future of the some of this
[45:46]
area would be in terms of
[45:48]
stormwater, right? Yes. Great.
[45:53]
Hold there. Okay. Thanks for
[46:00]
those questions. You covered a
[46:02]
couple of my things on my list.
[46:04]
I do have a follow up regarding
[46:07]
PUD five specically. So
[46:09]
during your presentation, you
[46:11]
noted that no housing is
[46:13]
permitted under PUD five. Could
[46:16]
you talk about the. The reasons
[46:21]
for this option for this
[46:25]
property versus what we would
[46:27]
have to review if there were a
[46:29]
developer that would come
[46:30]
forward and say, we want to
[46:31]
take this property and build a
[46:36]
residential development that
[46:37]
would incorporate mixed use
[46:39]
housing. Yes. So just to
[46:42]
clarify, as far as like the
[46:43]
difference between PUD five and
[46:46]
potentially any other type of
[46:47]
development. Yes. So under the
[46:50]
current zoning district, if a
[46:52]
developer came in and would
[46:53]
like to plat it according to
[46:54]
the subdivision regulations,
[46:56]
and that would be permitted by
[46:57]
right, they would be able to go
[46:59]
through the proper channels,
[47:00]
make sure everything was met,
[47:02]
but largely developed a normal.
[47:05]
The PUD five was designated to
[47:08]
specifically allow for, you
[47:09]
know, that open space to be
[47:11]
maintained. It doesn't prohibit
[47:14]
any future development down the
[47:15]
line, but butt it does allow
[47:17]
for the continuance of a golf
[47:19]
course, which we understand to
[47:22]
be an interesting and vital
[47:24]
part of our community under
[47:26]
that district, housing is not
[47:29]
really cohesive and, and would
[47:31]
in some ways, younow, just
[47:33]
create aitional pieces that
[47:34]
that weren't necessarily
[47:36]
applicable single family
[47:38]
housing, just a fact that most
[47:40]
may not know. Single family
[47:42]
housing actually hashe most
[47:43]
amount of traffic. When we talk
[47:44]
about traffic counts across
[47:46]
different types of uses, that
[47:47]
single family housing actually
[47:50]
has sees the most amount of
[47:51]
traffic. And so in this case,
[47:53]
this was this was meant to
[47:54]
really maintain what's existing
[47:55]
within our community when it
[47:57]
comes to golf courses and just
[47:58]
allow those buildings to
[48:01]
buildings and golf courses to
[48:03]
continue in the in the region.
[48:05]
Okay. So just to make sure I
[48:06]
understood you correctly, I
[48:07]
heard you correctly. If the if
[48:10]
the property owner were to
[48:14]
propose not this type of
[48:16]
development, but were to come
[48:17]
forward and say, we would like
[48:19]
to convert this existing land
[48:22]
to a residential community,
[48:25]
they would not need zoning
[48:27]
approval to do that. Is that
[48:28]
correct? We would not need to
[48:30]
review that from a zoning
[48:32]
perspective. We would only look
[48:33]
at it further down the road of
[48:35]
the development. Is that
[48:36]
correct? The the planning
[48:38]
process and something like that
[48:40]
comes through planning
[48:41]
commission, but it's something
[48:43]
that's permitted by. Right. And
[48:45]
and typically, as long as you
[48:47]
can meet the requirements,
[48:48]
there wouldn'be any
[48:49]
additional issues. It's, it's
[48:50]
something that at that point,
[48:52]
it's, it's a fairly sple
[48:54]
process. And I can let Dylan
[48:55]
jump in. Just, I was just going
[48:57]
to say, no, it would not
[48:58]
require rezoning. Okay. Your
[49:00]
estion. Okay. So then to take
[49:03]
it maybe in a slightly
[49:04]
different direction, if this
[49:07]
were if this PUD five were
[49:09]
approved this evening or
[49:11]
sometime in the future, knowing,
[49:12]
of course, that it has to go to
[49:14]
City council as well. But if
[49:16]
that change were made, then to
[49:20]
shift back to a residential
[49:23]
development would require
[49:24]
another rezoning, correct?
[49:26]
That's correct. Yes. It would
[49:27]
need to rezone to a different.
[49:30]
Yes. Great. Thank you, I
[49:32]
appreciate that. I'm sorry to
[49:33]
have you reiterate in so many
[49:35]
different ways, but I just want
[49:36]
to make sure that I'm
[49:37]
understanding the process and
[49:38]
the different types of
[49:39]
development appropriately. My
[49:42]
next question is. Regarding the
[49:49]
Ke Trails Network. I don't
[49:52]
recall that being identied on
[49:54]
the map. That's not something
[49:56]
that intersects, intersects
[49:59]
with or is directly adjacent to
[50:03]
this property. Is that correct?
[50:05]
Or is that an immediately
[50:08]
adjacent trail? So that's a
[50:11]
trail that's further to the
[50:13]
east. It's between Byron Center
[50:15]
and Ivan Rest. And this
[50:18]
property ends about a quarter
[50:20]
of the way through that block.
[50:22]
So Kent Trails is halfway
[50:23]
through the block. It's further
[50:25]
to the east. It doesn't run
[50:26]
adjacent to this property. Okay.
[50:28]
Thank you. So there's there's a
[50:29]
neighborod between this
[50:31]
property and the trail. Correct.
[50:33]
Great. Thank you. I think I'm
[50:35]
good for now. Thank you, thank
[50:37]
you. I have a question.
[50:38]
Question. I just want to ensure
[50:40]
that the proposed rezoning
[50:41]
doesn't worsen the drainage
[50:44]
conditions for the surrounding
[50:45]
neighborhoods. And I know,
[50:46]
Colton, that you tched on it
[50:47]
somewhat, but based on the
[50:48]
theme and all of the emails and
[50:51]
whatnot that I've read, I guess
[50:53]
my question is, can the project
[50:55]
engineer or you explain how the
[50:58]
proposed drainage plan prevents
[51:01]
additional additional runoff or
[51:03]
flooding to nearby residents?
[51:06]
Yeah, I'm happy to answer that.
[51:07]
I know in a case like this,
[51:09]
anytim there's a floodplain,
[51:11]
floodway, or wetland nearby,
[51:13]
there needs to be a permit from
[51:15]
Egle that's approved before it
[51:18]
even comes back for site plan
[51:20]
approval. So you'll note that
[51:21]
one of the conditions was that
[51:23]
our city engineer actually
[51:24]
recommended that the applicant
[51:25]
set up a meeting with Egle just
[51:27]
to determine the feasibility of
[51:28]
of anything in that area. Thank
[51:31]
you. I guess I'll ju into
[51:33]
because it's a little bit my my
[51:35]
area of experti. I do
[51:39]
stormwater design. I'm a site
[51:41]
civil engineer, right? So the
[51:43]
in general, you have to follow
[51:45]
the standards that are written
[51:46]
by your cit right? Our city
[51:48]
of Wyoming has excellent
[51:48]
standards that are put together
[51:50]
in order to protect
[51:51]
neighborhoods specifically from
[51:52]
malicious redelopment,
[51:54]
including standards around
[51:55]
where stormwater can flow off
[51:56]
of property that's been
[51:57]
developed. Often the
[51:59]
development of a property, even
[52:00]
ough it's becoming more dense,
[52:02]
gives us the opportunity to
[52:03]
make sure that it's being
[52:05]
controlled more consistentlyands
[52:08]
opposed to existing conditions,
[52:09]
which are currently maybe
[52:10]
shedding water in certain
[52:11]
directions. Right? A site
[52:12]
that's been designed by an
[52:14]
engineer and is approvable for
[52:16]
a site plan of a planning
[52:18]
commission, has to meet all
[52:19]
these standards which limit the
[52:21]
rate of water, leaving a
[52:22]
property to existin conditions,
[52:25]
usually by some metric, like an
[52:26]
outlet control structure. Or
[52:27]
you know what? This is a big I
[52:29]
could talk for a long time, so
[52:31]
I'll let it stand there and say
[52:33]
that we have a really good
[52:34]
gineering staff. That's. Mr.
[52:37]
chairman, I have a question.
[52:37]
Question. Thank you. Colton,
[52:41]
how much of the property is
[52:42]
zoned estate residential versus
[52:45]
R-1 as it sits right now? It is
[52:47]
roughly roughly. Yeah. Just
[52:50]
roughly. We've got about 68
[52:52]
acres. That would be estate
[52:54]
residential. And theemaining
[52:57]
32 and some change would be R-1.
[53:00]
So quick back of the napkin
[53:01]
math. This owner could propose
[53:04]
roughly 150 houses. Looking at
[53:06]
our standards of R-1 at ten
[53:08]
zero zero zero square feet and
[53:09]
two and a half acres for state
[53:11]
residential. Of course, there's
[53:12]
wetlands and things to deal
[53:13]
with, but somewhere between 120
[53:15]
and 150 houses coulbe
[53:16]
proposed here. And I just want
[53:18]
to make the point to try to
[53:20]
bring in what Commissioner and
[53:22]
Commissioner Randall were
[53:23]
pointing out, which is the
[53:24]
developers actually trading in
[53:26]
some ways, giving up a lot of
[53:28]
economic activity that they
[53:29]
could experience in return for
[53:31]
an ongoing application, open,
[53:34]
open application of open space,
[53:35]
which would otherwise be
[53:37]
impervious or impervious,
[53:38]
impermeable material, and have
[53:40]
all kinds of other issues. And
[53:42]
so from that perspective, I'm
[53:43]
very sensitive to the concerns
[53:44]
that were raised tonight. But I
[53:46]
actually think this is more
[53:47]
open space and an upgrade. And
[53:49]
I just want to defend I wasn't
[53:50]
on the commission in April, but
[53:52]
when this commission passed
[53:53]
that PUD five, I think it was
[53:55]
actually very visionary because
[53:56]
we're trading literally dozens
[53:59]
of acres of open space that
[54:00]
would not otherwise exist under
[54:02]
literally a use by. Right. So I
[54:04]
want to say thank you to this
[54:05]
commission for the work you did
[54:07]
to come up with this, and I'm
[54:08]
strongly in favor of granting
[54:10]
the preliminary, preliminary
[54:13]
rezoning with the idea that the
[54:15]
developer will have to come
[54:15]
back and there will be a series
[54:17]
of standards, as laid out by
[54:19]
other members of this
[54:20]
commission, for us to review
[54:21]
and make sure are being done
[54:22]
correctly. Thank you, Mr.
[54:23]
Chairman. Thank you. Anybody
[54:25]
else? Commissioners. Any other
[54:26]
questions? Well, I do I just
[54:27]
some comments, maybe a couple
[54:29]
questions. So yeah, back a few
[54:32]
months ago, we approved the the
[54:33]
new zoning to keep these golf
[54:36]
courses from closing up and
[54:37]
turning into residential. I
[54:39]
think we almost lost one down a
[54:41]
ways. And I would rather see
[54:44]
golf courses. I think to make
[54:46]
an ideal community, yo should
[54:47]
have something green spaces
[54:49]
like this, and I think you got
[54:50]
to keep them viable. I think
[54:52]
everybody here agrees with that.
[54:57]
So in order to do that, yeah,
[54:58]
he could develop it and get
[55:00]
three 300 houses or units or
[55:02]
whatever you want to call them.
[55:03]
And they're a lot more traffic
[55:05]
than the existing roads have.
[55:06]
So I think this is less I do
[55:11]
believe the roads do need to be
[55:12]
improved there. That's not
[55:14]
maybe our department, but
[55:16]
somebody I think from the city
[55:18]
line to 52nd is three lanes.
[55:20]
And I at least think that 52nd
[55:22]
56 should be three lanes,
[55:24]
especially with these new
[55:25]
parking lots going in here,
[55:26]
you're going to need turn lanes,
[55:28]
so you might as well just make
[55:29]
at least a so that people out
[55:31]
of Becky Drive canet in and
[55:33]
out. I went through there a few
[55:34]
different times. It's very hard
[55:36]
to turn out, especially left
[55:37]
from the. Because there's no
[55:38]
other way out except for going
[55:40]
through the horseshoe. So Mr.
[55:43]
Kitchen and the family has done
[55:44]
a lot for this city w before
[55:45]
any of these plants were there
[55:47]
and have a nice operation, I
[55:49]
think we should try to help
[55:51]
them. He offered to move the
[55:54]
wahouse away from the
[55:55]
residential over to the other
[55:56]
side of the road. I. I think
[55:59]
that would be a good fit. Or it
[56:02]
won't affect as many people.
[56:03]
But again, the traffic is an
[56:04]
issue. It's an ongoing issue. I
[56:08]
even think 56 needs to be
[56:09]
looked at just all the way down
[56:11]
three lanes. Yeah. So let's see
[56:17]
here. Question to staff. I just
[56:22]
wrote notes everywhere
[56:24]
listening to what everyone was
[56:25]
saying. Yeah, I think that's
[56:32]
probably. I just thinkt'de
[56:35]
a lot less impact by keeping it
[56:37]
and allowing him to do what he
[56:38]
would like to do. So, but the
[56:41]
warehouse, I didn't see howthatg
[56:44]
it. But if the warehouse could
[56:45]
be moved, I think that was most
[56:47]
people's concern was the
[56:47]
warehouse. So if. And I do
[56:49]
believe. That could be somehow
[56:54]
I don't think we're approving
[56:55]
the warehouse where that goes
[56:57]
tonight. Like he said, he just
[56:58]
drew some things to get what
[57:00]
he'd like. So it's just the
[57:02]
zoning request. Yeah. But again,
[57:04]
the road problem is a problem.
[57:06]
And I, I, you could do a
[57:07]
traffic stu, but I can tell
[57:08]
you that I mean, it backs up
[57:10]
all different directions. And I
[57:11]
think that's. So that's all I
[57:15]
got to say. Question for staff.
[57:17]
The 52nd, I guess, is that a
[57:18]
DOT road study? I don't believe
[57:21]
so. No. Okay. Commissioners.
[57:26]
Any other questions commes or
[57:27]
concerns? Seeing none. Rules
[57:30]
please call the vote.
[57:32]
Commissioner. Gilreath. Yes.
[57:34]
Yes. Yes. Laplaca. Yes. Randall.
[57:38]
Yes. Yes. Weller. Yes. Zapata.
[57:42]
Yes. Yes. Motion passes. Now,
[57:44]
just a couple things. It's
[57:47]
passed. Just a suggestion that
[57:49]
I might make to the developer
[57:50]
and the owner based on the
[57:54]
people, the residents that came
[57:56]
in today, and how you are
[57:58]
graciously want to help, you
[58:00]
know, help them under help, you
[58:01]
know, understand what you're
[58:03]
trying to do. Just a suggestion.
[58:05]
You might want to hold a
[58:06]
charrette or a meeting and
[58:08]
ing the whole neighborhood
[58:09]
together sometime in the future
[58:12]
so they know what's going on.
[58:13]
Because I think you could have
[58:15]
had hours and hours of
[58:17]
questions, people asking you
[58:18]
questions tonight. So I think
[58:20]
that would be good. You know,
[58:21]
just a suggestion for you too,
[58:24]
now that we're done with agenda
[58:26]
number one and it has passed,
[58:28]
if you stay for the rest of the
[58:30]
meeting tonight, that's great.
[58:31]
If you're going to get up and
[58:32]
leave when you go out into the
[58:34]
atrium out there, it's like a
[58:38]
microphone. We can hear
[58:39]
whispers out tre. So just
[58:40]
from a common courtesy
[58:42]
standpoint, if you could take
[58:44]
conversations outside, it's not
[58:46]
raining. I would appreciate it.
[58:48]
We would appreciate it here
[58:49]
because we do have more meeting
[58:51]
to go tonight. And I do
[58:53]
appreciate appreciate everybody
[58:55]
showing up tight for this.
[58:56]
Thank you. Yeah. So so this was
[59:06]
the site. So we have to site
[59:08]
plan. And like he didn't have
[59:11]
none of its design. So you have
[59:14]
to get it. That's what I
[59:23]
thought. 30 years. Which is
[59:31]
like, you know, I'm trying to
[59:34]
question how people understand
[59:35]
what you're asking this
[59:36]
question. I thought it was good,
[59:38]
but you can't. Yeah. And you
[59:39]
didn't even download. Okay. He
[59:48]
didn't really get it at all.
[59:49]
All right.ose, would you
[59:51]
please read agenda item number
[59:53]
1 or 2. Request for special
[59:55]
land use for two drive through
[59:57]
restaurants at 744th Street
[59:59]
West. Section 25 will bring
[1:00:02]
construction LEW properties,
[1:00:04]
LLC. Noah, welcome,
[1:00:08]
commissioners. I'll be
[1:00:10]
presenting agenda item number
[1:00:11]
two here. So this is a request
[1:00:14]
for special use for two drive
[1:00:16]
through restaurants located at
[1:00:18]
744th Street Southwest. Up on
[1:00:21]
the screen here you can see
[1:00:22]
that this parcel is zoned as B2.
[1:00:25]
It's located near that south
[1:00:28]
southeast corner of 44th Street
[1:00:29]
and Clyde Park, right next to
[1:00:32]
that southbound ramp for us.
[1:00:35]
131 and then on the right hand,
[1:00:37]
top right hand corner right
[1:00:38]
there, there's a quick aerial
[1:00:40]
view to kind of show where the
[1:00:42]
the area around this parcel as
[1:00:44]
well. So currently the
[1:00:47]
applicant is proposing a retail
[1:00:49]
and restaurant use at this
[1:00:50]
location. And drive through
[1:00:51]
restaurants are permitted as a
[1:00:53]
special land use within this B2
[1:00:55]
district. The site does
[1:00:56]
currently contain an existing
[1:00:57]
Pizza Hut building that would
[1:00:59]
be proposed to be demolished
[1:01:01]
for site redevelopment. The
[1:01:03]
applicantoes propose to
[1:01:04]
construct two freestanding
[1:01:06]
commercial buildings outlined
[1:01:07]
there in the blue, with the
[1:01:09]
Pizza Hut to occupy the east
[1:01:10]
end of the larger building
[1:01:12]
outlined in the red,nd then
[1:01:13]
the remaining tenant spaces are
[1:01:14]
yet to be determined. So right
[1:01:16]
now it's just that Pizza Hut
[1:01:19]
and then both of these
[1:01:20]
buildings are proposed to have
[1:01:21]
drive thrus with dedicated
[1:01:22]
drive thru lanes as well. For
[1:01:27]
special use approval. Staff did
[1:01:28]
review the seven standards that
[1:01:30]
are outlined in section 9507,
[1:01:33]
and we did provide those
[1:01:34]
detailed responses as part of
[1:01:35]
the staff report. On the next
[1:01:37]
slide. Here we'll go over some
[1:01:39]
of some of those details right
[1:01:41]
here. So the planning staff did
[1:01:43]
determine that the proposed use
[1:01:44]
is consistent with the zoning
[1:01:46]
ordinance. And then all other
[1:01:47]
applicle provisions ofhe
[1:01:49]
ordinance have been met. City
[1:01:51]
staff did reviews the prosed
[1:01:53]
use, and the development is not
[1:01:54]
expected to have any adverse
[1:01:56]
impas on the neighboring
[1:01:58]
property traffic, public health,
[1:01:59]
safety and welfare for persons
[1:02:01]
and property. The use is
[1:02:04]
expected to reduce blight at
[1:02:06]
the property property. As I
[1:02:08]
mentioned, by demolishing the
[1:02:09]
existing building and then
[1:02:11]
constructing the two new
[1:02:12]
commercial buildings with drive
[1:02:13]
thrus to ultimately modernize
[1:02:15]
the property. The typical
[1:02:17]
traffic generated by US one, 31
[1:02:20]
and 44th Street, along with the
[1:02:22]
visibility of this property,
[1:02:24]
makes this project economically
[1:02:25]
feasible. And then lastly, the
[1:02:28]
drive through resurants must
[1:02:29]
provide a minimum of five
[1:02:30]
acking spaces for each pickup
[1:02:33]
window, and the proposed use
[1:02:35]
would allow for those minimum
[1:02:36]
stacking spaces without
[1:02:37]
interfering with the on site
[1:02:39]
circulation. And then looking
[1:02:41]
quickly here at the site plan
[1:02:43]
approval again, staff did
[1:02:45]
review the 13 standards that
[1:02:46]
were outlined in section 9505,
[1:02:49]
and we detailed those responses
[1:02:51]
again in the staff report on
[1:02:52]
the next slide. Here we'll go
[1:02:54]
over some of those standards
[1:02:55]
that are currently met. So the
[1:02:57]
site plan does contain an
[1:02:59]
appropriate amount of detail to
[1:03:00]
understand the proposed use and
[1:03:02]
development. The ingress and
[1:03:04]
egress have been determined.
[1:03:05]
Adequate and emergency vehicle
[1:03:07]
access has been provided and
[1:03:09]
appropriate. An appropriate
[1:03:10]
amount of pedestrian
[1:03:12]
circulation was provided on the
[1:03:13]
site plans. It actually
[1:03:15]
connects the se to the
[1:03:15]
existing sidewalk along 44th
[1:03:17]
Street, and then there are no
[1:03:20]
areas that would require any
[1:03:21]
screening beyond the dumpster
[1:03:22]
enclosure that's proposed in
[1:03:24]
the southwest corner of this
[1:03:25]
parcel. And then the site is
[1:03:27]
currently served by public
[1:03:28]
utilities and services. Looking
[1:03:31]
at some of the conditions of
[1:03:33]
approval, direct directional
[1:03:36]
signage should be provided to
[1:03:37]
ensure appropriate vehicular
[1:03:38]
circulation around the site,
[1:03:40]
and the applint must work
[1:03:41]
with the planning staff to
[1:03:42]
preserve trees to the extent
[1:03:44]
practicable or place trees
[1:03:45]
where feasible. On the proposed
[1:03:48]
stp, islands should be
[1:03:50]
replaced withaised curb
[1:03:51]
islands as well, and then the
[1:03:53]
parking spaces kind of going
[1:03:54]
along with the last bullet
[1:03:55]
point, the parking spaces that
[1:03:57]
are located in front of the
[1:03:58]
proposed eastern building
[1:04:00]
should be reconfigured to
[1:04:01]
provide a raised curb island
[1:04:04]
between the Ada unloading area
[1:04:05]
and the drive through lane,
[1:04:06]
just to kind of provide some
[1:04:08]
sort obuffer there for that
[1:04:09]
Ada unloading area. And then if
[1:04:12]
the owner is plaing on usingsepe
[1:04:15]
buildings, a land division
[1:04:17]
application would be would need
[1:04:18]
to be submitted to the city.
[1:04:20]
All buildings and fire codes
[1:04:22]
must be met. And then the
[1:04:25]
addition of a new fire hydrant
[1:04:27]
near 44th Street in front of
[1:04:28]
the blding would be required.
[1:04:31]
The other option uld be to
[1:04:32]
relocate the existing hydrant
[1:04:34]
to the west side of th
[1:04:35]
property, near that curb the,
[1:04:37]
and then a traffic impact
[1:04:39]
analysis would be required for
[1:04:41]
this site as well. And then
[1:04:42]
finally, additional details
[1:04:44]
regarding the stormwater water
[1:04:46]
and sanitary and other
[1:04:47]
applicable engineering
[1:04:49]
requirements must be provided
[1:04:50]
as well. Looking quickly at the
[1:04:53]
alignment with th master plan,
[1:04:55]
this parcel is designated as
[1:04:57]
Corridor Commercial, which does
[1:04:59]
call for large scale commercial,
[1:05:00]
retail and services. The
[1:05:04]
proposed use includes the
[1:05:05]
typically expected commercial
[1:05:07]
uses for corridor, commercial
[1:05:09]
and, as I mentioned previously,
[1:05:11]
while incorporating connection
[1:05:12]
to the existing sidewalk
[1:05:14]
network along 44th Street.
[1:05:16]
Ultimately, this use does meet
[1:05:17]
the vision of the master plan.
[1:05:21]
For staff recommendation. The
[1:05:22]
development review team
[1:05:24]
recommends the Planning
[1:05:25]
Commission grant special use
[1:05:26]
approval for the two drive
[1:05:27]
through restaurants located at
[1:05:29]
744th Street and in a separate
[1:05:31]
motion grant site. Plan
[1:05:32]
approv subject to conditions
[1:05:33]
one through four in the staff
[1:05:35]
report. I'll be available for
[1:05:37]
any questions. Thank you Noel.
[1:05:40]
All right. At this time, I'll
[1:05:41]
open up public comment on
[1:05:43]
agenda item number two. I will
[1:05:46]
close public comment agenda
[1:05:48]
item number two. Would the
[1:05:50]
developer owner like to come up
[1:05:52]
your name, your address, ten
[1:05:54]
minutes if you choose. My me
[1:05:56]
is Matt Cole. I'm with Rosina
[1:05:58]
Associates. I'm the engineer
[1:05:59]
for the project here
[1:06:01]
representing the owner. I
[1:06:05]
appreciate the city staff and
[1:06:06]
the review on this. We're
[1:06:09]
generally in agreement with all
[1:06:11]
the requested changes. Really
[1:06:13]
just have two. I guess that
[1:06:15]
we'd ask that you at least
[1:06:17]
think about. One is the traffic
[1:06:20]
study. We reached out to
[1:06:23]
engineering to find out, you
[1:06:24]
know, if ty wanted counts.
[1:06:26]
What's going on? I mean, we
[1:06:27]
understand that they're
[1:06:28]
recommending approval. So I
[1:06:30]
think everyone knows and we're
[1:06:31]
not planning on changing the
[1:06:32]
driveway. So I think we all
[1:06:34]
know that I'm interpreting it
[1:06:35]
to mean that it's a check mark
[1:06:37]
that we have to put on the
[1:06:38]
checklist. We did get a price
[1:06:40]
that's $8,000. I don't think
[1:06:41]
it's going to show anything or
[1:06:44]
recommend any changes. In fact,
[1:06:47]
I believe the engineer said,
[1:06:48]
you know, look at the driveways
[1:06:52]
for the neighboring property
[1:06:54]
where we might be tying in, and
[1:06:56]
that's where we wanted to count.
[1:06:57]
So I don't see a lot of value
[1:06:59]
there. And it's an $8,000 cost.
[1:07:01]
So I'd say if we could waive
[1:07:03]
that, that'd be great. If we
[1:07:04]
got to do it, we'll do it. We
[1:07:06]
know that it's not really going
[1:07:08]
to recommend any changes. I did
[1:07:09]
want to clarify one other item
[1:07:11]
to the Pizza Hut. It is a
[1:07:14]
pickup window. It's not a drive
[1:07:17]
thru per se, but we understand
[1:07:19]
that the zoning ordinance
[1:07:20]
doesn't really clarify that
[1:07:22]
difference. But I just want to
[1:07:23]
let you know that no one's
[1:07:24]
going to be placing orders
[1:07:25]
there or waiting for the food.
[1:07:27]
It's all stuff that's already
[1:07:28]
been called in. And so we know
[1:07:30]
with Pizza Hut, the most they
[1:07:32]
ever see in traffic backed up
[1:07:34]
there is two. But we did show
[1:07:35]
the five to to meet the
[1:07:37]
ordinance. But I wanted to let
[1:07:38]
you know that it's not going to
[1:07:40]
be that high of an intensity
[1:07:42]
use for the Pizza Hut. So
[1:07:43]
there's that part. And then
[1:07:44]
lastly, when planning staff
[1:07:47]
recommended the raise Curve
[1:07:48]
Islands, norlly I'm all for
[1:07:50]
curve Islands and especially
[1:07:52]
when you can have landscaping
[1:07:54]
in there. This site, because we
[1:07:56]
are jamming a lot onto it. We
[1:07:58]
didn't propose the Curve
[1:08:00]
Islands just because we're not
[1:08:01]
going to be able to put any
[1:08:02]
vegetation in there, it's not
[1:08:04]
going to live. So the thought
[1:08:05]
was, well, we just go with
[1:08:07]
striped islands. It's easier to
[1:08:08]
snowplow. It's not a trip
[1:08:10]
hazard for anyonealking.
[1:08:12]
Again. If you say you got to
[1:08:14]
have them, we can put them in.
[1:08:15]
The thought is we probably put
[1:08:17]
in some four inch rule to curb
[1:08:19]
just for it being a little bit
[1:08:20]
more manageable. But we think
[1:08:22]
in this situation, we'd
[1:08:24]
recommend just having straight
[1:08:26]
pavement. Again, if it was a
[1:08:29]
bigger site, we'd have those
[1:08:30]
islands, we'd have some
[1:08:31]
vegetation in there, but
[1:08:33]
without having the vegetation,
[1:08:34]
we don't really see a lot of
[1:08:36]
value to having the curve
[1:08:37]
islands. So that's really all I
[1:08:39]
have.nd I'm here to answer
[1:08:41]
any questions that you might
[1:08:43]
have for me. Thank you. Thank
[1:08:45]
you. All right. Commissioners
[1:08:46]
in front of us for agenda item
[1:08:48]
number two. We have two motions,
[1:08:49]
one to grant site plan motion
[1:08:51]
to grant special use approval
[1:08:53]
for the two drive through
[1:08:54]
restaurants at 744th Street
[1:08:56]
Southwest. Looking for motion
[1:08:57]
from Weller. Second by Paul.
[1:09:01]
Questions, comments or concerns?
[1:09:05]
Seeing color. Can I make part
[1:09:07]
of my motion to waive the. The
[1:09:10]
two items that he talked about,
[1:09:12]
the traffic study and the. Do
[1:09:15]
stripe, curb and curb. Were
[1:09:17]
those in the plan to be done?
[1:09:21]
Are those subject. Are those
[1:09:23]
conditions one through four?
[1:09:24]
Yeah, yeah. Yes. I would make a
[1:09:26]
motion to waive them two items.
[1:09:28]
That's proper to do. Staff has
[1:09:34]
a real concern with it. So
[1:09:37]
that's a motion to amend the
[1:09:39]
motion to amend the approval.
[1:09:41]
The approval condition. Yes the
[1:09:46]
conditn numbers. I don'tave
[1:09:47]
that in front. I'll support
[1:09:48]
that. Paul. Still second
[1:09:53]
conditions there. Yeah. Do you
[1:09:55]
have. Yeah. The actual printout
[1:09:57]
of the of the motion the
[1:09:59]
conditions one through four
[1:10:00]
from the report. We do not it
[1:10:02]
is in the agenda I don't think.
[1:10:07]
Yeah I did not I do not have a
[1:10:09]
printed copy. I have it, I have
[1:10:11]
it here. I was you have it.
[1:10:12]
Maybe I left my I have it as
[1:10:14]
well. Print out it. Well
[1:10:17]
discussion right as part of the
[1:10:18]
motion. Yeah. Discussion. I
[1:10:21]
would say. I think even though
[1:10:23]
it's onerous, I'd rather leave
[1:10:26]
that to our engineering
[1:10:28]
dertment and our staff to, to
[1:10:29]
coordinate that and not remove
[1:10:30]
it ourselves just because we
[1:10:32]
won't. You're making a motion.
[1:10:35]
I'm discussing discussing Mr.
[1:10:38]
Hall. Wendy. Yeah. I just have
[1:10:42]
a comment on that as well. I am
[1:10:47]
I would prefer to see the Curb
[1:10:50]
Islands rather than the striped
[1:10:53]
islands, primarily for safety
[1:10:57]
for the a d, a pedestrian, a d
[1:11:01]
a customers, as well as to more
[1:11:06]
clearly delineate traffic flow
[1:11:09]
directions between those two
[1:11:11]
drive through areas. Any other
[1:11:17]
questions? I agree with Wendy.
[1:11:19]
I think the islands should be
[1:11:21]
curved and a four inch road
[1:11:22]
curb would be fine, but that's
[1:11:25]
better than a painted line that
[1:11:27]
wears off. Okay, so I got a
[1:11:31]
little confused here. I think
[1:11:33]
we lve it as it is and let
[1:11:35]
staff take care of it. So so.
[1:11:47]
Nobody happens to have that.
[1:11:48]
Why not? I'm pulling it up
[1:11:50]
right now. Mr. chairman, I
[1:11:53]
think I'd also say that I
[1:11:54]
wouldn't mind if the conditions,
[1:11:56]
whener present, were part of
[1:11:57]
this part of the slide. They
[1:12:00]
don't have to be in the motion.
[1:12:02]
That was just right there.
[1:12:05]
We're happy to in the future,
[1:12:07]
you want printed copies of
[1:12:08]
the staff report, we can
[1:12:09]
provide that for future
[1:12:11]
meetings. I didn't bring it
[1:12:14]
tonight. So let me pull it up
[1:12:16]
because I don't have I thought
[1:12:17]
I did and I don't. Okay, I've
[1:12:19]
got 103 pages here. Hold on.
[1:12:21]
That's why I didn't bring it up.
[1:12:27]
Colton. You know exactly what
[1:12:28]
page it's on right in here. 103
[1:12:31]
pages you sent us. Where are we
[1:12:36]
at here? I guess while they're
[1:12:38]
looking at that, I can just
[1:12:40]
give you my comment, I mean,
[1:12:41]
this. Site existing building
[1:12:43]
about the same size footprint,
[1:12:45]
but I do think it's going to
[1:12:47]
get tight with the curbs. And I
[1:12:48]
see them. So. So I didn't mean
[1:12:51]
to interrupt you. So the roll
[1:12:52]
curve for the handicap, that is
[1:12:56]
one of the items correct. Yeah.
[1:13:01]
I have it here Mr. Chairman.
[1:13:05]
Condition one is applicant. Oh
[1:13:08]
there you go. You found it.
[1:13:09]
Ner mind. Okay. It's on our
[1:13:12]
screens. Right? Yeah. So as
[1:13:17]
stated it's going to be work
[1:13:18]
with Wyoming Engineeri Office.
[1:13:20]
Right. So I think we leave
[1:13:22]
moon as is and allow the you
[1:13:24]
know, maybe we can suggest to
[1:13:25]
or, or make comments of that.
[1:13:27]
This is noted as our approval,
[1:13:29]
but it's still something that
[1:13:30]
you're going to have to work
[1:13:32]
through with the engineer
[1:13:33]
because it's, they're the ones
[1:13:34]
that care about the traffic
[1:13:35]
more than us and can regulate
[1:13:37]
the traffic more than us. Right.
[1:13:49]
But if to be clear, Mr.
[1:13:51]
Chairman, if we reject the
[1:13:55]
amendment, then this language
[1:13:57]
is controlling and the staff
[1:13:59]
cannot just unilaterally waive
[1:14:00]
the traffic. Study requirement.
[1:14:03]
Correct? That is correct. We
[1:14:04]
would have to make the decision
[1:14:06]
here. Mr. chairman, if I could
[1:14:09]
chime in, please do. Traffic
[1:14:12]
impact analysis is a code
[1:14:14]
requirement, and we actually do
[1:14:17]
have a specific criteria for
[1:14:19]
waiving or making modifications
[1:14:20]
to that requirement that I
[1:14:22]
think the Planning Commission
[1:14:23]
would need to consider for that
[1:14:24]
specific element. But we're
[1:14:27]
happy to work with you on that.
[1:14:28]
If if you want to further
[1:14:29]
discuss. So a new mion with
[1:14:38]
all of the. With conditions one
[1:14:41]
through four? Well, I think we
[1:14:44]
need to either vote on this
[1:14:46]
existing motion or the motion
[1:14:49]
needs to be withdrawn. Yeah. So.
[1:14:55]
Well, there was a talk about
[1:14:57]
maybe a lower or. Roger being
[1:15:00]
an engineer, a road curb, but I
[1:15:02]
think that one curb their
[1:15:03]
access drive is going to be
[1:15:05]
you're going to be popular all
[1:15:06]
the time. You could be hitting
[1:15:08]
a lot of wheels. You could be
[1:15:09]
knocked in the head off the
[1:15:11]
curb with the snowplows. I just
[1:15:12]
think it's kind of a tight
[1:15:14]
sight to to do that. So that
[1:15:15]
was my concern there. But the
[1:15:17]
traffic study, I think it's for
[1:15:18]
the access road going to the
[1:15:20]
Fox Motors back there. So I
[1:15:22]
don't again, they were asking
[1:15:24]
that we waive them to. So I was
[1:15:26]
hoping. But if if we can't
[1:15:28]
waive it, then we'll let staff.
[1:15:31]
If staff can't waive it without
[1:15:32]
a whole big process, I just I
[1:15:36]
could go with a road curb. I
[1:15:38]
just think the or the, the
[1:15:40]
painted curb, one or the other.
[1:15:41]
But the tall curbs, this is
[1:15:44]
where they're going to be,
[1:15:47]
where you're going to be
[1:15:48]
hitting that one, coming in
[1:15:49]
there with garbage trucks and
[1:15:50]
stuff. It's going to be, I just
[1:15:52]
think you're going to be
[1:15:53]
popping the curb all day long.
[1:15:55]
So, so blindside when they pull
[1:15:56]
out, I just think you're going
[1:15:58]
to bend your wheels. I so
[1:16:00]
that's all I was like, Mr.
[1:16:01]
Weller, would you please
[1:16:03]
restate your. Yeah. Your motio
[1:16:05]
agn. Well, am I allowed to
[1:16:07]
just the to drop. AM I allowed
[1:16:10]
to do the traffic drop. Waive
[1:16:12]
the traffic study. Yes or no?
[1:16:16]
Can you waive the traffic study,
[1:16:18]
the traffic impact analysis
[1:16:19]
required by code. The only way
[1:16:21]
you can waive it or modify is
[1:16:23]
through specific criteria. But
[1:16:24]
I believe you were also talking
[1:16:25]
about and please correct me if
[1:16:27]
I'm the raised curbs. The
[1:16:29]
raised curb was that is a
[1:16:31]
different conditionhat was
[1:16:33]
provided by our department.
[1:16:35]
Okay. So if you want to discuss
[1:16:36]
that condition, that that is
[1:16:39]
not referring to the same code
[1:16:40]
section that I'm referring to.
[1:16:42]
Okay. I wld make a motion to
[1:16:48]
waive the traffic study and let
[1:16:50]
staff work with, with the
[1:16:53]
petitioner on a. A curb curb
[1:16:59]
options. That's what I think.
[1:17:01]
Is that easy one. Is that
[1:17:03]
easier for everybody? They
[1:17:04]
can't build the site without
[1:17:06]
the traffic study. Yeah, they
[1:17:08]
gotta have the traffic traffic,
[1:17:10]
have the traffic study. Okay.
[1:17:11]
Then we'll just drive. Then
[1:17:12]
we're going to drop the drop
[1:17:14]
the motion for the. So you're
[1:17:15]
going to so you withdraw. Yeah.
[1:17:17]
Withdraw. You draw. You're okay,
[1:17:19]
Mr. Chairman, if I might, once
[1:17:21]
the motion is made and second,
[1:17:22]
it belongs to the body, I would
[1:17:24]
move to amend the motion which
[1:17:27]
I seconded, to remove the
[1:17:29]
traffic study component from
[1:17:30]
his motion. But leave the
[1:17:32]
language that condition number.
[1:17:35]
I'm sorry. Help me with the
[1:17:37]
condition number. I think it's
[1:17:38]
condition number four D that
[1:17:42]
four D be modified to say. Mr.
[1:17:44]
Well, I don't want to speak for
[1:17:46]
you, but what was it you were
[1:17:48]
trying to say there that they
[1:17:49]
would be able to work with the
[1:17:51]
staff to come up with an
[1:17:52]
acceptable solution, a painted
[1:17:53]
curbs or a or a curb curb? A as
[1:17:57]
resolved by the staff and the
[1:17:58]
developer. That was that's the
[1:17:59]
word. So I would amend the
[1:18:02]
amended motion to say that I
[1:18:04]
like that. Do you amend the
[1:18:05]
amended motion to say that I'm
[1:18:09]
not making a motion again? Yeah,
[1:18:12]
that's what commissioners do.
[1:18:13]
You understand what's going on?
[1:18:15]
Yes, y. Colton. Excuse me. If
[1:18:18]
I could jump in really quickly,
[1:18:19]
please do. I just like to
[1:18:21]
clarify that that that
[1:18:23]
amendment would read and we
[1:18:25]
just need some specific
[1:18:26]
language instead of the
[1:18:28]
proposed stripe island shall be
[1:18:30]
replaced with raised curb
[1:18:31]
islands. The proposed. This is
[1:18:33]
what would be proposed. The
[1:18:34]
proposedtripe island shall be
[1:18:35]
replaced with curbs either
[1:18:37]
painted or rolled curbs correct.
[1:18:39]
According to. After meeting
[1:18:41]
with staff or correct
[1:18:43]
sufficient to staff's
[1:18:44]
satisfaction. Correct. Great.
[1:18:47]
Any other comments or concerns?
[1:18:51]
Oh no. No no. Nope. You had
[1:18:57]
your time. Thank you. Roll call
[1:19:01]
the vote. Commissioner.
[1:19:04]
Gilreath. Watts. Yes. Yes. Yes.
[1:19:08]
Yes. Randall. Yes. Yes. Weller.
[1:19:12]
Yes. Zapata. Yes. Yes. Motion
[1:19:15]
one passes. Motion two is to
[1:19:17]
grant site plan approval for
[1:19:18]
the project at 744th Street,
[1:19:21]
subject to conditions one
[1:19:22]
through four. Questions,
[1:19:25]
comments or concerns? Roll.
[1:19:28]
Call the vote, Commissioner
[1:19:30]
Gilbreath. Oh, wait a minute,
[1:19:31]
wait a minute. I need a motion.
[1:19:33]
Yes, motion by Roger. Second by
[1:19:37]
Robert. If I could jump in one
[1:19:41]
more time, I apologize. Please
[1:19:43]
do. Technically, the four
[1:19:45]
conditions that you're
[1:19:45]
approving are part of site plan
[1:19:47]
approval, not special use
[1:19:48]
approval. Yeah, okay. I said
[1:19:51]
site plan, didn't I? Yes, but
[1:19:53]
you just approved special use
[1:19:56]
approval according to
[1:19:58]
conditions, right? I'm on. I'm
[1:20:00]
on the second motion. Right. We
[1:20:03]
got ahead of ourselves. Yeah we
[1:20:04]
did. We should have amended the
[1:20:06]
second motion, but instead we
[1:20:07]
amended the first motion. But
[1:20:08]
we didn't need to amend. And it
[1:20:10]
doesn't matter, because all we
[1:20:11]
did was accept the amendment to
[1:20:13]
the amendment. So we didn't
[1:20:14]
actually take any final action.
[1:20:15]
Yeah. That's it. Wendy. I
[1:20:21]
believe at this time we need a
[1:20:23]
site plan, a motion for site
[1:20:25]
plan approval subject to
[1:20:28]
conditions one through four,
[1:20:30]
with any shift in for D. So
[1:20:39]
what we could do is we could
[1:20:41]
table. Mr. chairman, we could
[1:20:43]
ble or we could table. Set
[1:20:45]
aside. Sorry. We can set aside.
[1:20:47]
We could just take a motion to
[1:20:49]
grant the special use Kalene
[1:20:50]
because we don't have that yet.
[1:20:52]
Do that and then come back to
[1:20:53]
the amended motion. We have on
[1:20:55]
the site plan approval, whichwo.
[1:21:01]
Yes, yes, yes. So you need to
[1:21:05]
motion to site plan approval,
[1:21:10]
special, special, scial use
[1:21:12]
motion to motion to S. Oh you
[1:21:16]
support all in. All call the
[1:21:22]
vote Commissioner Geary. Yes.
[1:21:27]
Yes. Yes. Laplaca. Yes. Randall.
[1:21:30]
Yes. Yes. Weller. Yes. Zapata.
[1:21:34]
Yes. Yes. Motion passe Sorry,
[1:21:36]
I stepped out on the porch for
[1:21:38]
a little while, so I'm back now.
[1:21:41]
We need our site plans. So now
[1:21:43]
I get that. Okay, well, we have
[1:21:45]
an amended site plan approval
[1:21:47]
motion. All we did was approve
[1:21:48]
the amendment to the amendment.
[1:21:50]
So we now have an amended site
[1:21:52]
plan approval still before the
[1:21:53]
body that needs to be approved.
[1:21:54]
Yep. So the amended site plan
[1:21:58]
need a motion motion by Paul.
[1:22:02]
Second by Sherri. Questions,
[1:22:06]
comments or concerns? Roll call
[1:22:09]
vote. Commissioner Geary Watts.
[1:22:11]
Yes. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Randall.
[1:22:16]
Yes. Yes. Weller. Yes. Zapata.
[1:22:19]
Yes. Yes. Motion passes. Okay.
[1:22:32]
Would you please read agenda
[1:22:33]
item number three? Thank you.
[1:22:40]
So we have set aside learning
[1:22:42]
and growth for a few months
[1:22:45]
because we had some special
[1:22:47]
circumstances, a special
[1:22:49]
meeting, some lengthy agendas.
[1:22:53]
I'm happy to have learning and
[1:22:55]
growth back on our agenda today.
[1:22:57]
One of the requests in our list
[1:23:00]
of subjects was to have an
[1:23:01]
update from public safety. So
[1:23:04]
we have with us tonight Chief
[1:23:07]
Snyder and Captain Weiler, and
[1:23:09]
they're going to share a
[1:23:10]
presentation for us this
[1:23:11]
evening. Good evening everybody.
[1:23:14]
Interesting meeting so far. So
[1:23:17]
we run a tight ship. I guess we
[1:23:20]
do run a. Colton asked us to
[1:23:23]
pop in today and talk a little
[1:23:25]
bit about a little bit about
[1:23:26]
the police department. Excuse
[1:23:28]
me. So we thought, you know,
[1:23:31]
what better to discuss tonight
[1:23:32]
than flat camas, automated
[1:23:34]
license plate readers, if you
[1:23:35]
guys have been on social media
[1:23:37]
latelyr watch the news, it's
[1:23:39]
an extrely hot topic we
[1:23:41]
presented to the council at the
[1:23:42]
work session yesterday evening,
[1:23:46]
and a lot of it was an active
[1:23:48]
meeting, put it that way. So we
[1:23:50]
just thoug maybe you'd all
[1:23:51]
find it interesti. What we're
[1:23:52]
going to abbreviate it a little
[1:23:54]
bit. I think the presentation
[1:23:55]
we did for council was about a
[1:23:57]
half hour. And for the sake of
[1:23:58]
time and, you know, lack of an
[1:24:00]
audience really, we would just
[1:24:02]
kind of give you a brief
[1:24:03]
overview of it. From our
[1:24:04]
standpoint. I'm an advocate of
[1:24:05]
it. Are pretty much every local
[1:24:08]
chief sheriff in the area is
[1:24:11]
utilizing it and is in favor of
[1:24:12]
it, but certainly strictly for
[1:24:14]
law enforcement purposes,
[1:24:16]
strictly for law enforcement
[1:24:17]
purposes. It's been an amazing
[1:24:20]
tool. My captain, police
[1:24:23]
services captain Eric Weiler,
[1:24:24]
is our resident expert in the
[1:24:27]
in this area. We've had the
[1:24:29]
cameras since 22, and he's been
[1:24:33]
kind of involved in that
[1:24:35]
project since then. And is it
[1:24:37]
our our, our department
[1:24:39]
administrator? So I will leave
[1:24:41]
it up to him to kind of discuss
[1:24:43]
the nuts and bolts of it. And
[1:24:45]
if you have questions durg or
[1:24:47]
at the end, please feel free to
[1:24:48]
ask. And it's good seeing you
[1:24:50]
all. Thank you, thank you,
[1:24:51]
thank you, thank you for your
[1:24:53]
service. Thank you. Thanks,
[1:24:54]
chief. So I know we don't often
[1:24:55]
get an opportunity to speak
[1:24:57]
with this commission. So we
[1:24:58]
really thank you for the
[1:24:59]
invitation to be here tonight.
[1:25:01]
I think it's great that we can
[1:25:02]
just come and have a chat with
[1:25:04]
you. Like chief said, you know,
[1:25:05]
automatic license plate readers
[1:25:06]
really have been a big concern
[1:25:08]
lately, not only in our
[1:25:09]
community but around the
[1:25:10]
country. So just to give you a
[1:25:12]
quick, quick brief tonight,
[1:25:13]
because I know you guys have
[1:25:14]
had a long night already and
[1:25:16]
you guys probably ready to go
[1:25:17]
home. So what I just want to
[1:25:19]
talk about is some of the
[1:25:21]
technology that we use, how
[1:25:22]
it's used, how it works, our
[1:25:23]
policies that we he in place
[1:25:25]
for proper use of those systems.
[1:25:27]
And then just kind of give you
[1:25:28]
maybe some of the success
[1:25:29]
stories that we've had in about
[1:25:31]
the four and a half years that
[1:25:33]
we've used the cameras. So
[1:25:34]
chief mentioned we have Alpr
[1:25:36]
cameras. We have 42 fixed
[1:25:38]
cameras throughout the city.
[1:25:40]
Now, that's not 42 dferent
[1:25:42]
locations because it really it
[1:25:43]
takes two cameras to capture
[1:25:45]
each direction of a roadway,
[1:25:47]
right? So there's about 20
[1:25:48]
locations throughout the city
[1:25:50]
that we have fixed cameras. We
[1:25:51]
also have two portable cameras
[1:25:53]
that we can put up at large
[1:25:54]
ents. So like we have Metro
[1:25:56]
cruise, Carnival anywhere where
[1:25:58]
there's anywhere where there's
[1:25:59]
large gatherings that we have a
[1:26:01]
public safety concern, we can
[1:26:02]
kind of put those portable
[1:26:04]
cameras up. We also have Alpr
[1:26:06]
technology through axon, which
[1:26:08]
is integrated into the dash
[1:26:09]
cameras of our patrol cars. So
[1:26:11]
when officers are driving
[1:26:12]
around, if a car is in front of
[1:26:14]
them, it's reading those
[1:26:15]
license plates that are in
[1:26:16]
front of them as well. So one
[1:26:19]
thing like I brought up with
[1:26:21]
council last night too is, you
[1:26:22]
know, flock is a tech company.
[1:26:24]
They, you know, like a lot of
[1:26:25]
tech companies, they started
[1:26:26]
out with automated license
[1:26:28]
plate readers, but they've
[1:26:29]
expanded into many markets. So
[1:26:31]
a lo of things you see on
[1:26:32]
social media, they talk about
[1:26:33]
these cameras can record audio
[1:26:35]
and video and, you know, all
[1:26:36]
these different things. Flock
[1:26:39]
does have security, video
[1:26:40]
cameras, security video
[1:26:42]
trailers, gunshot detection
[1:26:44]
devices, which have microphones
[1:26:45]
that are out in the public. We
[1:26:47]
don't have any of that
[1:26:48]
technology in the city of
[1:26:49]
Wyoming. The only thing that we
[1:26:51]
use from flock is that
[1:26:52]
automated license plateeader.
[1:26:53]
And really that is just a
[1:26:55]
digital camera kind of motion
[1:26:57]
sensor on it. So a car drives
[1:26:59]
by it. It takes a quick digital
[1:27:00]
picture. So the only thing that
[1:27:02]
it captures is just a still
[1:27:04]
image as the vehicle passes it.
[1:27:07]
So the way the system works,
[1:27:08]
either the car will pass that
[1:27:10]
fixed camera, or it will bin
[1:27:12]
front of one of our patrol cars
[1:27:13]
that have the mobile cameras in
[1:27:15]
them. Again, it'll snap that
[1:27:16]
picture of it. What it's
[1:27:18]
looking at is the back of a
[1:27:20]
vehicle. So as the car passes,
[1:27:21]
it takes a picture of the back
[1:27:23]
of the vehicle. The camera will
[1:27:25]
read the alphanumerics on the
[1:27:26]
plate, so the letters and
[1:27:28]
numbers that are on there, it
[1:27:29]
will then do a system check of
[1:27:31]
those, which it compares that
[1:27:32]
to list that is available from
[1:27:34]
the National Crime Information
[1:27:36]
Center or the state's law
[1:27:38]
enforcement database, which is
[1:27:39]
called Lee. An important
[1:27:41]
distinction here is that flock
[1:27:43]
does not run any personal
[1:27:45]
information through any of
[1:27:46]
those databases. It's simply a
[1:27:48]
list that has a license plate
[1:27:50]
number, a vehicle description,
[1:27:52]
and a reason why this vehicle
[1:27:53]
is wanted for law enforcement
[1:27:55]
investigation. There's no names,
[1:27:57]
there's no addresses, date of
[1:27:58]
birth, phone numbers, none of
[1:28:00]
that information is stored in
[1:28:01]
the database. So there's no
[1:28:04]
interface for flock to talk to
[1:28:06]
to anything else. The only
[1:28:07]
thing that gets kept in flock
[1:28:08]
is simply that picture of the
[1:28:11]
car. So if it reads that,ou
[1:28:14]
know to that list, it compares
[1:28:15]
it to that list. If there's a
[1:28:16]
vehicle on that list that's
[1:28:18]
wanted either a wanted person,
[1:28:19]
a missing person, an Amber
[1:28:21]
alert, anything like that. If
[1:28:23]
it matches anything on that
[1:28:25]
list, it putout what's called
[1:28:27]
the Hot List alert. So any
[1:28:28]
officers logged into it, it'll
[1:28:30]
go out. Officers can then start
[1:28:32]
to get to that area of where
[1:28:33]
that camera is and start
[1:28:35]
looking for that car. If it's
[1:28:37]
not on that list, it just gets
[1:28:38]
stored in a database and it's
[1:28:40]
stored in that database for 30
[1:28:41]
days for historical searches
[1:28:43]
later. So again, I kind of
[1:28:45]
mentioned it, but what's
[1:28:46]
detected by these cameras, the
[1:28:48]
only thing detected by these
[1:28:49]
cameras is the license plate,
[1:28:51]
the vehicle characteristics,
[1:28:53]
the location of the camera, and
[1:28:55]
the date and time of where that
[1:28:56]
picture was taken, and just an
[1:28:58]
aggregate traffic count data.
[1:28:59]
So how many cars have passed
[1:29:01]
this camera in this amount of
[1:29:03]
time? It's not individualized
[1:29:04]
any vehicle. It's just a raw
[1:29:06]
ta count. So again what's not
[1:29:08]
detected by this. There's no
[1:29:09]
personally identifiable
[1:29:11]
information. There's no speed.
[1:29:12]
There's no aud, no video, no
[1:29:14]
facial recognition or cell
[1:29:16]
phone tracking. It generally
[1:29:17]
doesn't capture race, gender,
[1:29:19]
or the personal identity of
[1:29:20]
cars. An exception to that may
[1:29:22]
be, say, a convertible passes
[1:29:24]
or a Jeep Wrangler that doesn
[1:29:26]
have a top on it. Could the
[1:29:27]
system then potentially see the
[1:29:29]
race and gender of a person
[1:29:30]
driving the car? Yes it could,
[1:29:32]
but those are not searchable
[1:29:33]
features in the system. There's
[1:29:36]
nowhere to put it in, you know,
[1:29:38]
a race or gender of a person to
[1:29:40]
do a search. It also doesn't
[1:29:41]
generally catch private
[1:29:42]
property. So none of our
[1:29:44]
cameras are pointed at property
[1:29:46]
owned that are privately.
[1:29:48]
They're all in positions
[1:29:49]
throughout the city that theyarc
[1:29:53]
roadways to only capture
[1:29:54]
vehicles that are traveling on
[1:29:55]
public roadways. So this is
[1:29:59]
just a screenshot of what our
[1:30:01]
officers see. And this is the
[1:30:02]
information that is stored in
[1:30:03]
the database. So there's a
[1:30:04]
close up of the license plate
[1:30:06]
general overview of the vehicle
[1:30:08]
that as it passed the camera
[1:30:10]
and again that location of
[1:30:11]
where it was taken. So the city
[1:30:13]
of Wyoming does own all of the
[1:30:15]
data that is captured by these
[1:30:17]
alpr networks. And it's oy
[1:30:19]
stored on that network for 30
[1:30:21]
days. After 30 days, it's hard
[1:30:22]
deleted, which means we can't
[1:30:23]
get it flat, can't get it. It's
[1:30:26]
pretty much gone. So getting
[1:30:29]
into our policy, we have a very
[1:30:32]
extensive policy because we
[1:30:33]
feel that it's very important
[1:30:35]
that our systems are being used
[1:30:36]
properly. Some of the purposes
[1:30:38]
of our policy is to ensure that
[1:30:40]
the system use respects
[1:30:42]
individuals constitutional and
[1:30:43]
statutory rights, including
[1:30:45]
privacy, freedom of speech and
[1:30:47]
association, freedom of
[1:30:48]
religion and equal protection.
[1:30:50]
It's also to provide governmt
[1:30:52]
accountability, deter criminal
[1:30:53]
behavior and, when appropriate,
[1:30:55]
assist in criminal
[1:30:56]
investigations and prosecutions
[1:30:57]
and locate missing persons
[1:31:00]
purpose. It also is to enhance
[1:31:01]
the department's efficiency and
[1:31:03]
effectiveness in providing
[1:31:03]
officer and community safety.
[1:31:06]
So again, since it's pretty
[1:31:07]
extensive policy, we just
[1:31:08]
pulled out some of the
[1:31:09]
highlights for you out of it.
[1:31:13]
Only the the Alpr system can
[1:31:15]
only be used for conducting the
[1:31:16]
department's official business
[1:31:18]
and restricted to its public
[1:31:19]
safety related mission.
[1:31:21]
Immigration and reproductive
[1:31:22]
health searches are prohibited
[1:31:23]
and restricted from search
[1:31:25]
entry. So if you put in or try
[1:31:27]
to do a search for immigration
[1:31:28]
or reproductive health, the
[1:31:29]
system doesn't even allow you
[1:31:30]
to conduct that search.
[1:31:33]
Officers are prohibited from
[1:31:34]
taking any enforcement action
[1:31:36]
based solely on an Alpr alert.
[1:31:38]
All information has to be
[1:31:39]
verified. So what that means is
[1:31:41]
that that camera reads a
[1:31:42]
license plate as a BC1234. The
[1:31:45]
officer gets behind the car,
[1:31:47]
they have to verify. The plate
[1:31:48]
on that car is a BC1234 before
[1:31:51]
they can stop it. They also
[1:31:53]
have to check either that Leon
[1:31:54]
or NCIC to make sure that this
[1:31:56]
vehicle is still wanted for any
[1:31:58]
law enforcement purpose, before
[1:31:59]
they can initiate that activity.
[1:32:01]
Before any historical searches
[1:32:03]
can be done of this system,
[1:32:04]
officers must enter the offense,
[1:32:06]
type a case number and a reason
[1:32:08]
for the search. Without those,
[1:32:09]
the search can't happen. This
[1:32:11]
allows, you know, proper
[1:32:12]
auditing of the system to make
[1:32:13]
sure that they're being used
[1:32:15]
for legitimate law enforcement
[1:32:16]
purposes. In the Alpr system is
[1:32:19]
considered criminal justice
[1:32:21]
information, which is protected
[1:32:22]
by federal law. So any
[1:32:24]
violations of using this system,
[1:32:26]
officers could be charged
[1:32:28]
federally under those statutes.
[1:32:32]
Our policy also lists a lot of
[1:32:34]
prohibited uses recording
[1:32:35]
license plates that are not
[1:32:36]
exposed to public view, using
[1:32:38]
the system to harass or
[1:32:40]
intimidate any individual or
[1:32:41]
grp using the system, or
[1:32:44]
associated hotlist because of a
[1:32:45]
person's or group's race,
[1:32:46]
gender, religion, political
[1:32:48]
affiliation, nationality,
[1:32:50]
ethnicity, sexual orientation,
[1:32:51]
disability, or other
[1:32:53]
classification protected by law
[1:32:55]
also prohibits using the Alpr
[1:32:56]
system or associated hotlist or
[1:32:58]
any personal purpo, or using
[1:33:00]
the system or associated
[1:33:02]
hotlist for the purpose of
[1:33:03]
identifying any individual or
[1:33:04]
group engaged in the exercise
[1:33:06]
of First Amendment rights,
[1:33:08]
unless used only for the
[1:33:09]
protection of those persons.
[1:33:10]
What that means is, if there's
[1:33:11]
a lawful protest that's going
[1:33:13]
on, counter protesters show up,
[1:33:15]
they start harassing, they they
[1:33:16]
start violating the law trying
[1:33:19]
to intimidate those people who
[1:33:20]
are lawfully protesting. We
[1:33:21]
could use the alpr for those
[1:33:23]
people who are violating the
[1:33:24]
law. We also have
[1:33:27]
accountability for misuse. Like
[1:33:29]
the chief had mentioned last
[1:33:30]
night in our in the City
[1:33:31]
Council meeting, any misuse of
[1:33:34]
our system will be dealt with
[1:33:35]
swiftly and decisively. So we
[1:33:37]
won't tolerate any of that. So
[1:33:39]
our systems and our equipment
[1:33:41]
and databases are authorized
[1:33:42]
for public safety purpose only.
[1:33:44]
And in accordance with the
[1:33:46]
policy, any individuals
[1:33:47]
misusing it and the associated
[1:33:50]
databases will be subject to
[1:33:51]
local, state and federal
[1:33:52]
penalties, including criminal
[1:33:54]
prosecution, civil liability
[1:33:55]
and or administrative sanctions
[1:33:57]
up to and including termination.
[1:34:00]
Again, I kind of mentioned
[1:34:01]
auditing earlier. The system
[1:34:03]
has a very robust audit system
[1:34:05]
to it. All searches are lged
[1:34:08]
indefinitely. So like I said,
[1:34:09]
we started using these cameras
[1:34:10]
back in 2022. I can go back and
[1:34:13]
audit logs back to 2022 to see
[1:34:14]
what the officers were doing.
[1:34:16]
And those audits are conducted
[1:34:17]
by me as the Police Services
[1:34:19]
Bureau captain. I conduct those
[1:34:20]
audits. A few months ago,
[1:34:22]
Pflock introduced what they
[1:34:23]
call an audit assistant, which
[1:34:24]
has helped immensely. What this
[1:34:27]
does, it kind of looks for
[1:34:28]
anomalies in searches, and then
[1:34:30]
it will alert me if there's any
[1:34:32]
unusual searcs that happen,
[1:34:34]
such as an officer running a
[1:34:36]
single plate multiple times or
[1:34:39]
running a plate without or
[1:34:40]
using different case numbers or
[1:34:43]
running it in a narrow time
[1:34:44]
frame. So it has all these
[1:34:46]
different things that it looks
[1:34:47]
for that could potentially be
[1:34:49]
misuse that alerts me. I have
[1:34:51]
the opportunity to go in and
[1:34:52]
look at it verify that, yes,
[1:34:53]
this was used for a criminal
[1:34:56]
justice investigative purpose.
[1:34:58]
To date, we have not had any
[1:35:01]
misuses of our Alpr network
[1:35:03]
identified during our audits,
[1:35:04]
and we've not had any citiz
[1:35:06]
complaints of alpr misuse by
[1:35:08]
any of our officers. So just a
[1:35:11]
quick overview of some of the
[1:35:13]
success cases that we've had
[1:35:14]
since having these cameras.
[1:35:16]
About two months ago, we had a
[1:35:17]
homicide where an 82 year old
[1:35:19]
fele was found dead on her
[1:35:21]
porch, and her vehicle was
[1:35:23]
stolen within four hours. That
[1:35:24]
vehicle and that suspect was
[1:35:25]
capted out of state. Because
[1:35:27]
of Alpr technology. We were
[1:35:29]
able to call the agency down
[1:35:30]
there. They located the vehicle,
[1:35:32]
got in pursuit, tookim into
[1:35:34]
custody. We had a carjacking in
[1:35:37]
2024 where a father was sitting
[1:35:38]
in a car with his three year
[1:35:40]
old out of business. He got
[1:35:41]
pulled out of the car,
[1:35:43]
violently assaulted. They stole
[1:35:44]
the car, not realizing the
[1:35:45]
ree year old was in the back
[1:35:47]
seat. After pushing the three
[1:35:48]
year old out onto Division
[1:35:49]
Avenue. They then took off and
[1:35:51]
we were able to locate that car,
[1:35:52]
the suspects and all, and
[1:35:54]
another car that was associated
[1:35:55]
with it in Chicago. In less
[1:35:57]
than 24 hours, we had an arson
[1:36:00]
investigation where a car was
[1:36:02]
parked at a local business. A
[1:36:04]
car was set on fire through
[1:36:05]
Alpr. We wereble to determine
[1:36:07]
that was an ex-boyfriend that
[1:36:09]
started that car on fire, and
[1:36:11]
he's been charged with that.
[1:36:14]
Just last month, we had two
[1:36:15]
armed robberies within a couple
[1:36:16]
hours or subject that was armed
[1:36:18]
with a handgun. Using the Alpr,
[1:36:20]
we were able to identify the
[1:36:22]
suspect as vehicle, and he was
[1:36:24]
taken into custody and charged
[1:36:25]
with several felonies. In 2025,
[1:36:27]
we had a shooting at an
[1:36:28]
apartment complex where a
[1:36:30]
victim was shot in the parking
[1:36:31]
lot. The Alpr helped us
[1:36:33]
identify auspect, a suspect
[1:36:35]
vehicle, and during a search of
[1:36:36]
that suspect's apartment, we
[1:36:39]
located 1.1kg of heroin and
[1:36:41]
carfentanil, which the lab had
[1:36:43]
told us there was enough
[1:36:44]
carfentanyl there to probably
[1:36:45]
kill everybody in the state of
[1:36:47]
Michigan. That was in there. In
[1:36:50]
2025, our Metro Pattern Crime
[1:36:51]
team was investigating a series
[1:36:53]
of larceny of semi tires. That
[1:36:55]
was happening really in the
[1:36:56]
three county area. There's
[1:36:57]
about $100,000 worth of semi
[1:36:59]
tires that were stole through
[1:37:01]
the Alpr. We were able to
[1:37:03]
charge several people with a
[1:37:04]
continued criminal enterprise,
[1:37:06]
and we're able to recover about
[1:37:08]
$35,000 worth of those tires.
[1:37:10]
So since we've had these
[1:37:12]
cameras inlace, our motor
[1:37:13]
vehicle thefts been down about
[1:37:15]
is down 60% compared to what it
[1:37:17]
was five years ago before the
[1:37:19]
cameras, and 23% of the
[1:37:21]
vehicles slen in Wyoming are
[1:37:22]
recovered in Wyoming by the
[1:37:25]
Alpr system. So again, this has
[1:37:29]
been used in hundreds of
[1:37:30]
investigations, and it's
[1:37:31]
directly resulted in 115
[1:37:33]
crimin arrest, 209 vehicles
[1:37:36]
associated with cres have
[1:37:37]
been identified. Over $1
[1:37:39]
million in stolen property has
[1:37:40]
been recovered, 115 stolen
[1:37:42]
vehicles and other various
[1:37:43]
properties. Included in that
[1:37:44]
number, ten illegal firearms
[1:37:46]
have been seized andhree
[1:37:48]
missing persons have been
[1:37:49]
located. Last week, we release
[1:37:53]
what's called the Flock
[1:37:55]
Transparency Portal. It's on
[1:37:56]
the city's main website. So if
[1:37:58]
you go rht to the main
[1:37:59]
website, you go to the quick
[1:38:01]
links. There's a little link on
[1:38:02]
there that you can cli.
[1:38:03]
They'll kind of cover a lot of
[1:38:05]
the information. And even more
[1:38:06]
than what I've covered tonight,
[1:38:08]
there's also a QR code there
[1:38:09]
that you can scan as well. So
[1:38:12]
with that, thanks for your time
[1:38:13]
tonight. Anybody have any
[1:38:15]
questions or you want to go
[1:38:16]
home? Great presentation. Great.
[1:38:17]
Very good. What a great tool
[1:38:20]
for you guys. It has been it's
[1:38:21]
been it's been a great tool for
[1:38:23]
us. And you know, just I know
[1:38:25]
there's a lot of myth and
[1:38:26]
misinformation that's out there
[1:38:27]
awful. And every day we want to
[1:38:29]
show what the system tually
[1:38:30]
does. I have a qution. You
[1:38:32]
spoke just a little bit about
[1:38:33]
how you determine which
[1:38:35]
neighborhoods to put the
[1:38:36]
cameras in. Can you speak on
[1:38:37]
that a little bit? Yeah. So our
[1:38:39]
our crime analyst, we look at
[1:38:41]
crime and traffic data. So we
[1:38:43]
kind of use that crime and
[1:38:45]
traffic data to determine where
[1:38:47]
we put the cameras. Okay. Thank
[1:38:49]
you. Go ahead. A couple
[1:38:53]
questions. First of all, thank
[1:38:55]
you very much. This is very
[1:38:56]
informative. I really
[1:38:57]
appreciate it. I wish I had
[1:38:58]
tuned in last night, but I'll
[1:39:00]
look it up online. I am curious
[1:39:04]
about the development of the
[1:39:07]
policies. So I recognize that
[1:39:10]
as things shift not only from a
[1:39:12]
technology standpoint, but from
[1:39:14]
a community standards
[1:39:15]
standpoint, you know,our
[1:39:17]
department has to update
[1:39:18]
policies to reflect those
[1:39:21]
changes. Can you describe any
[1:39:23]
community or advocate input
[1:39:25]
that was involved in the
[1:39:26]
development of these policies?
[1:39:27]
If there was any, there was not
[1:39:30]
any. Okay. Yeah. So we we first
[1:39:32]
developed the policy again back
[1:39:34]
in 2022. At that time that we
[1:39:36]
got the cameras. It was kind of
[1:39:38]
an emerging technology. Like I
[1:39:40]
explained to council last night,
[1:39:42]
we first purchased 12 cameras
[1:39:43]
and we wanted to see, you know,
[1:39:44]
what their effectiveness would
[1:39:46]
be on helping us with our
[1:39:47]
mission of community safety. I
[1:39:49]
don't have the data in front of
[1:39:51]
me right here, right now
[1:39:52]
tonight. But I think in that
[1:39:54]
first year, we had like 75
[1:39:55]
suspects, identified 100 cars,
[1:39:57]
recovered, 34 stolen vehicles,
[1:39:59]
three firearms, a missing
[1:40:01]
dementia patient. All of that
[1:40:03]
was done in the first year, and
[1:40:04]
that's when we expanded on it.
[1:40:06]
I want to say we were probably
[1:40:08]
the third or fourth city in the
[1:40:09]
state to have the cameras. So
[1:40:11]
our policy is pretty much been
[1:40:12]
in place since then. Obviously,
[1:40:14]
the last six, eight, ten months
[1:40:16]
or so, a lot of things have
[1:40:17]
come out and we have
[1:40:19]
reevaluated that, and we
[1:40:21]
republished the policy last
[1:40:23]
week. I think it was. So if you
[1:40:25]
go to that flock transparency
[1:40:26]
portal, the entire policy is
[1:40:28]
linked in there. So if you go
[1:40:30]
to that transparency portal all
[1:40:31]
the way down at the bottom,
[1:40:32]
it's got another link to where
[1:40:34]
you can read the entire policy.
[1:40:35]
Great. Thank you. I appreciate
[1:40:37]
that you you mentioned that the
[1:40:38]
searches are logged
[1:40:40]
indefinitely. Yeah. Can you
[1:40:43]
describe the difference or at
[1:40:44]
what point is something
[1:40:46]
classified as a search versus
[1:40:48]
something that's just compared
[1:40:50]
to a list? Sure. So really the
[1:40:53]
system has there's either an
[1:40:55]
alert or a historical search.
[1:40:57]
So that alert is when kind of
[1:40:59]
on the back end, the camera
[1:41:01]
takes the picture, it compares
[1:41:02]
it to the list, it puts that
[1:41:04]
alert out, that alert usually
[1:41:06]
will go out in probably about
[1:41:08]
ten to 20s of when that car
[1:41:11]
passes the camera. So in that
[1:41:13]
ten to 20s, it checks the list
[1:41:14]
and then puts it out there. All
[1:41:17]
images are stored on the
[1:41:18]
database for 30 days. Officers
[1:41:21]
then can log into the system.
[1:41:23]
They have to attest that I'm
[1:41:24]
logging into this for, you know,
[1:41:26]
law enforcement purposes. And
[1:41:28]
then there's several fields on
[1:41:29]
there that they can search. You
[1:41:31]
know, you can have that offense
[1:41:33]
type, the complaint number and
[1:41:34]
the reason for the search, you
[1:41:36]
can put in the license plate if
[1:41:37]
it's known the license plate is
[1:41:39]
not known. Like example I used
[1:41:41]
last night is we have an armed
[1:41:42]
robbery of a liquor store. And
[1:41:44]
a witness says the suspect left
[1:41:45]
in a maroon minivan. And that's
[1:41:47]
the only information we have.
[1:41:48]
They can search for a time
[1:41:50]
frame for the cameras in that
[1:41:51]
location of that liquor store
[1:41:53]
for a maroon minivan. And from
[1:41:55]
there, they'll get some, you
[1:41:56]
know, pictures. And from there,
[1:41:59]
they can we start whittling it
[1:42:00]
down and trying to find a
[1:42:02]
suspect. Okay, so the search is
[1:42:04]
the active part. It's an
[1:42:07]
intentional correct observation
[1:42:10]
or historical record, as
[1:42:12]
opposed to a list comparison
[1:42:13]
that is giving an alert if
[1:42:16]
there's something to then look
[1:42:18]
into more deeply. Yes. Okay.
[1:42:20]
Great, great. Thank you. Sorry,
[1:42:22]
I'm just making sure I don'thavI
[1:42:27]
think I'm good. Thank you. Good
[1:42:30]
questions. Call. Yeah. Thanks
[1:42:33]
for your service. Is the data
[1:42:36]
is it stored on city servers or
[1:42:38]
on flock servers? Kind of
[1:42:41]
neither. It's on flock uses.
[1:42:44]
It's the AWS gov cloud is what
[1:42:46]
that's called. So the
[1:42:48]
information that's captured
[1:42:49]
here gets stored on the AWS gov
[1:42:52]
cloud. That is just compliant
[1:42:54]
FBI see just compliant. There's
[1:42:57]
numerous certifications and
[1:42:58]
independent audits that flock
[1:43:00]
has to ensure the safety of
[1:43:03]
that data as it's being stored
[1:43:05]
on there. It's encrypted in
[1:43:07]
transit and at rest while it's
[1:43:08]
there. And they also have the
[1:43:11]
ability to audit that data is
[1:43:13]
actually being deleted after
[1:43:15]
those 30 days. So I'm not a
[1:43:17]
cybersecurity expert. So I took
[1:43:19]
all of these compliances and
[1:43:21]
audits and certifications that
[1:43:24]
flock has to our city's IT
[1:43:26]
department. They were able to
[1:43:28]
review all of those
[1:43:29]
certifications, all of those
[1:43:30]
audits. And they have said that
[1:43:32]
that's exactly what they look
[1:43:33]
for when they're looking for
[1:43:35]
cybersecurity for government
[1:43:36]
data systems. So our IT
[1:43:39]
department does not have any
[1:43:41]
concerns with the security of
[1:43:43]
that data that's being stored
[1:43:45]
in that government cloud. Is it
[1:43:47]
shared with other jurisdictions?
[1:43:49]
Yes, we do share with other
[1:43:51]
jurisdictions. I think right
[1:43:52]
now it's like a little over
[1:43:54]
1700 agencies throughout the
[1:43:56]
country thate share with. We
[1:43:58]
have several federal agencies
[1:44:00]
that we share with being FBI,
[1:44:03]
U.S. Postal Inspection Service,
[1:44:06]
Natchez Trace National Park,
[1:44:09]
Indiana Dunes National Park,
[1:44:11]
Indiana, High Intensity Drug
[1:44:13]
Trafficking Association,
[1:44:15]
Tennessee Valley Police. And
[1:44:18]
there's one more here I'm
[1:44:19]
forgetting. Oh, it's
[1:44:23]
Wright-Patterson Air Base in
[1:44:24]
Ohio. So I know the big
[1:44:27]
question a lot of people have
[1:44:28]
is about i. Ice does not have
[1:44:30]
a contract with flock. And the.
[1:44:34]
We don't share information with
[1:44:35]
ice from the system. Okay,
[1:44:38]
thanks. Just a quick follow up
[1:44:41]
to that. Is there a way that
[1:44:44]
either flak or another entity
[1:44:47]
is able to audit the searches
[1:44:48]
that are done by those other
[1:44:50]
jurisdictions? Yeah. So each
[1:44:52]
agency, each person, each, I
[1:44:55]
guess city that has a contract
[1:44:56]
with flock. So I have two ways
[1:44:58]
to do an audit. I can do what's
[1:45:00]
called an organization audit,
[1:45:01]
which is just an audit of our
[1:45:04]
officers in our agency. Or I
[1:45:06]
can do a network audit. A
[1:45:08]
network audit shows me every
[1:45:10]
activity thas been done on
[1:45:12]
our network by any shared
[1:45:13]
partner or anybody else. So
[1:45:15]
it'll give me that. This agency
[1:45:17]
ran a plate for this reason on
[1:45:19]
this date and on this time. So
[1:45:20]
we have audits for, for both,
[1:45:22]
for our shared partnersnd us.
[1:45:24]
Thankou. Any other questions,
[1:45:28]
commissioners. Well done. Thank
[1:45:30]
you guys. Thank you. Be safe.
[1:45:31]
Thank you. Have a good night.
[1:45:32]
Have a safe drive home. Thank
[1:45:34]
you. Thanks. All right.
[1:45:37]
Commissioners was a great
[1:45:38]
meeting tonight. Any other
[1:45:39]
questions, comments or concerns?
[1:45:42]
Apologize for stepping outside
[1:45:43]
on the deck. That last one I
[1:45:46]
just I couldn't I couldn't
[1:45:47]
collate it together. For some
[1:45:48]
reason. I'm thinking I know
[1:45:49]
what he said. Then you said
[1:45:51]
something, and then Dave said
[1:45:53]
something and I nearly went
[1:45:55]
rogue on you. I looked at Wendy
[1:45:57]
and I said, Wendy, what's going
[1:45:58]
on? I just I apologize for that,
[1:46:01]
but it was a great meeting.
[1:46:03]
Great meeting. So Colton,
[1:46:05]
anything building up good for
[1:46:07]
October? I'm skipping Christmas.
[1:46:09]
I believe we've got one
[1:46:11]
completed application. Okay. So.
[1:46:14]
Okay. Yes. Commissioner Hall,
[1:46:17]
Mr. chair, maybe an idea for
[1:46:19]
future learning and growth.Sure.
[1:46:24]
Oh, you know what I thought of
[1:46:26]
that when I was talking to the
[1:46:27]
group out here? I really did.Mi,
[1:46:32]
Robert's rules. But again, I
[1:46:33]
think from a municipaly, I
[1:46:35]
think the procedures for this
[1:46:38]
would be good for all of us to
[1:46:40]
have. That way, you know, the
[1:46:43]
guy was gentleman really had
[1:46:47]
his thought process had changed
[1:46:49]
when Mr. Kitchen was talking
[1:46:52]
and. Yeah. And I think Robert's
[1:46:56]
rules are or how our policy
[1:46:57]
works and how we run a meeting
[1:47:00]
be very beneficial. For the
[1:47:02]
record, I'll say, Dave, nice
[1:47:04]
job. That was hard to keep
[1:47:05]
everybody in line. Thank you. A
[1:47:07]
lot of work I've been I, I go
[1:47:10]
to these meetings usually from
[1:47:11]
that side of the table and the
[1:47:14]
I've seen some dissolve quite
[1:47:17]
quickly. And this didn't. Nice
[1:47:20]
job. Thank you. Have a quick
[1:47:21]
question. It's been a while
[1:47:23]
since I've looked at the
[1:47:25]
handouts of the agenda or the
[1:47:27]
minutes or whatever, or excuse
[1:47:29]
me for the residents when ey
[1:47:30]
take it.o we have something
[1:47:32]
on the back of that that says,
[1:47:34]
if you want to present a
[1:47:37]
question or here's the protocol,
[1:47:39]
is there something that we can
[1:47:41]
put on that sheet so that when
[1:47:43]
people take it, they know
[1:47:45]
what's expected? You kno
[1:47:46]
that's a that's a good thought
[1:47:47]
that that maybe that's where a
[1:47:49]
condense of Robert's rules and
[1:47:51]
how the, how the meetings are
[1:47:52]
run or even or how the right,
[1:47:54]
but how the procedures run on
[1:47:56]
the back of, of what? Of the
[1:47:57]
agenda? Yes. I think that's a
[1:47:59]
great idea. That's something
[1:48:00]
that Wendy and I will get
[1:48:02]
together with Colton and Noah
[1:48:03]
and kind of brainstorm that and
[1:48:05]
see how we can put that
[1:48:06]
together. I think it's an
[1:48:07]
excellent idea. Thank you.
[1:48:08]
Absolutely. Sherry. That's
[1:48:09]
great. Anything else?
[1:48:12]
Commissioners. Great meeting.
[1:48:13]
Good to see you. Adjourned.
