GOOD EVENING, HE GOOD EVENING.
THANK YOU CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS.
THE FIRST ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA IS A PRELIMINARY PLOT FOR HIGH COUNTRY PHASE 10 AND THE PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT FRONTIER PARKWAY IN MCNAT.
UH, THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY IS UM, NORTH OF FRONTIER AND THAT'S A SINGLE FAMILY, UM, DEVELOPMENT AND THEN SOUTH AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER, A FRONTIER PARKWAY IN MCNAT.
UM, SO THE SUBDIVISION IS COMPRISED OF, UM, SINGLE FAMILY LOTS THAT ARE 40 FEET BY 115 FEET AND THE MINIMUM LOT IS 4,600 SQUARE FEET.
AND THEN THE GENERAL RETAIL TRACT WILL COMPLY WITH THE GENERAL RETAIL STANDARDS.
UH, THE PLAT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY ENGINEER AND CITY PLANNER, AND WHEN THE AGENDA WAS WRITTEN, WE HAD A NUMBER OF CONDITIONS RECOMMENDING IT FOR APPROVAL.
UM, HOWEVER, WE'VE SINCE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT AND WE'VE NARROWED IT DOWN TO TWO REALLY SIMPLE ONES.
UM, THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THESE JUST YET BECAUSE WE JUST GOT CI RESUBMITTAL YESTERDAY, SO THESE ARE VERY MINOR.
UM, THE STREET NAMES NEED TO BE APPROVED AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUIREMENT, AND CITY STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH CI CIRCULATING THOSE NAMES FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
UM, AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER ITEM IS THE FRONT YARD SETBACK ON THE GENERAL RETAIL LOT AT THE CORNER, CLIP A FRONTIER AND MCNAT
[00:05:01]
NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE PROPERTY LINE.RIGHT NOW IT'S A 90 DEGREE INTERSECTION, WHEREAS THE, THE SETBACK IS AND THE INTERSECTION HAS A CORNER CLIP.
UM, SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, UH, WITH THOSE TWO CONDITIONS.
YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROVE BASED ON UH, STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, ADD ANY ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS OR EVEN DENY THE PRELIMINARY PLAT.
THE APPLICANT IS HERE THIS EVENING.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT, WATER, SEWER, AND DRAINAGE PLANTS.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ADE, THIS IS GONNA BE IN ADDITION TO SILVERADO.
IS THAT
IT, THIS PART'S CALLED HIGH COUNTRY.
THOSE AREAS ARE ALL, THEY KIND OF ALL, YOU KNOW, HAVE GROWN TOGETHER.
UM, SO THIS IS THE NORTHWEST CORNER IS RESIDENTIAL AND THE SOUTHERN IS GENERAL RETAIL.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYBODY MAKE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THAT THE TWO CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY I'LL SECOND.
OKAY, WE GOT DON MADE THE MOTION.
ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? IT PASSES SIX TO ZERO.
ITEM NUMBER TWO, CONSIDER AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL REGARDING A SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR 4 0 3 SOUTH MAINE FOR A RESTAURANT USE WITHIN THE AUBREY CITY LIMITS.
UH, SINCE THE POSTING, UM, OF THIS AGENDA, THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TO WITHDRAW THEIR APPLICATION.
UM, THERE WERE SOME OUTSTANDING ISSUES STILL, UM, THAT WERE NOT RESOLVED.
THEY WERE UNABLE TO MEET THE DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS AND THERE WAS TWO MINOR, UH, CONDITIONS AS WELL.
UM, THEY HAVE RECENTLY SUBMITTED AN EMAIL TO US LETTING US KNOW THAT BASED ON THE SITE CONDITIONS, THEY CANNOT MEET THE DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS, UM, WITHOUT MODIFYING THEIR PARKING LOT, WHERE THEY WOULD LOSE PARKING SPOTS AND THEN THEY WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPOTS, UH, FOR THE ZONING.
UM, SINCE THEY'VE ASKED TO WITHDRAW, UH, YOU HAVE THE OPTION, UH, THAT YOU COULD TABLE IT WITH A DEADLINE FOR THEM, UM, OR YOU COULD TAKE ACTION, BUT THEY, BUT THEY WITHDREW IT, CORRECT? YES.
I'M NOT USED TO ALL THIS NEW FANCY STUFF.
UM, SO THE APPLICATION ONCE IT'S FILED, BELONGS TO THE CITY.
AND SO YOU CAN EITHER ACCEPT THAT AND ALLOW THEM TO WITHDRAW OR YOU CAN, AS LEANNE STATED, YOU CAN APPROVE IT WITH CONDITIONS OR DENY, I MEAN, WHATEVER THE OPTIONS ARE.
BUT IT, IT'S UP TO YOU WHAT YOU WANNA DO.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE TO ALLOW THEM TO WITHDRAW IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE IMPACT IF THEY WITHDRAW IT, LEANNE, IS IT, ARE THEY TIME BARRED FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD TO BRING IT BACK OR, UM, THE COMMISSION I UNDERSTOOD COULD, COULD SET THAT THIS IS THE SECOND MONTH IN A ROW THAT IT'S BEEN WITHDRAWN.
UM, BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET IT TO COMPLY.
IS THIS THE, UH, RESTAURANT, THE PLACE OF RUBY KATE'S? NO, THIS WOULD BE FURTHER SOUTH.
I'M I KNOW, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET YEAH, THIS ONE'S SOUTH OF VETERANS PARK ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THE CONDITIONS ARE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THEY NEED TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS, UM RIGHT, BUT SO THEY WOULDN'T BE BARRED ON RESUBMITTING THE APPLICATION IF WE JUST ACCEPTED THEIR WITHDRAWAL? CORRECT.
I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING GO THERE AND I DON'T WANNA HINDER THEM BY PUSHING THEM TO MOVE ON A TIMELINE THAT THEY'RE NOT PERSONALLY THINK THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE, ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME BACK TO US.
LEANNE, DO YOU THINK THERE'S A TIMEFRAME WITHIN WHICH THEY'RE GONNA GET IT WORKED OUT? IS IT 30 DAYS, 60 DAYS? I MEAN, YES, I WOULD SAY THAT IT WOULD BE WORKED OUT BY FEBRUARY.
UH, THE ISSUE WOULD BE, UM, IF THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION WHICH THEY, THEY BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH A VARIANCE PROCESS AS WELL.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD RUN THAT CONCURRENTLY OR NOT.
YOU, YOU COULD, IF YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE TIMELINES.
IF YOU CAN MAKE THE TIMELINES AND I ALLOWED ASK A QUESTION ON IT.
IF THERE WAS A THING THAT, IF THERE WAS A BUSINESS THAT WENT INTO THAT HOMEWORK THERE.
AND I KNOW IT'S, I KNOW IT'S ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL, I KNOW THAT, BUT THERE'S PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOUSES NEXT TO THEM.
ARE THEY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL OR ARE THEY RE OR ARE THEY JUST RESIDENTIAL? RIGHT NOW BOTH PROPERTIES ARE ZONE GENERAL RETAIL.
THE BUILDER'S OFFICE AND THE ROCK, THE WHOLE STRIP THERE, THE WHOLE STRIP, THE WHOLE STRIP IS GENERAL RETAIL.
ALSO, ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS THEN IF YOU WERE TO PUT A BUSINESS THERE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE PARKING, AND SO HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE OTHER PEOPLE STILL LIVING IN THE HOMES AS RESIDENTIAL?
[00:10:02]
SO OBVIOUSLY THEY'D STAY ON THEIR PROPERTY, BUT THERE IS SOME BUFFER WALL REQUIREMENTS DEPENDING ON THE ZONING AND WHAT TYPE OF USE YOU HAVE.IN THIS, IN THIS CASE, THEY'LL HAVE A LANDSCAPE, UM, BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND THEIR PROPERTY.
IT'S ZONE GENERAL, BUT IT, BUT IT'S USE AS RESIDENTIAL.
YEAH, THEY'RE LIVING THERE LIVING THE RIGHT NOW.
BUT I GET IT THAT IT'S COMMERCIAL.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW THAT AFFECTED HOW YOU WOULD, WHERE YOU PUT PEOPLE IF THEY CAME TO YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS.
YEAH, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE SO MANY, UH, PARKING SPACES BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE, THE FACILITY.
THE STAFF HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FOR WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IN THIS OR, UM, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO, TO TABLE IT AND THEN GIVE THEM A, A TIMEFRAME TO BRING IT BACK.
WHICH WOULD, YOU SAID 60 TO 90 DAYS, 60 DAYS, THEY WOULD BE ABLE, OR 30 DAYS THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING IT BACK, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH.
AND TO MEET THE, THE TIMEFRAMES, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE SAY EITHER THE FEBRUARY OR THE MARCH, UM, P MARCH MEETING RATHER THAN THE NUMBER OF DAYS.
WELL NOW I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE IT AND, UM, ALLOW THE APPLICANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IT BACK BY THE MARCH PNC MEETING.
ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? IT PASSES SIX TO ZERO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE DECEMBER 12TH, 2024 MEETING.
MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES.
I WOULD'VE ALREADY TOLD JENNY
HE'LL NOTICE MY ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
WHO, WHO SECONDED THAT? CANDACE DID.
ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED WHO PASSES SIX TO ZERO? WE'LL ADJOURN AT SIX 19.
