REQUESTING TO REDUCE THE COMMERCIAL A LARGER IMAGE OF THE LOCATION EXHIBIT. BACK IN OCTOBER, 2021, APPROVAL OF THE CURRENT ORDINANCE IN DECEMBER OF 2021 THE COUNCIL VOTED 4-1 IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL.NEXT SLIDE DEPICTS THE SITE CONCEPT OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE ORDINANCE, PART OF THE ORDINANCE APPROVAL BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2021. THIS SITE IS C-SECTION EXHIBIT. THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. THE PROPOSED NOTABLE CHANGES, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, REDUCE THE COMMERCIAL ACREAGE FROM 26 ACRES TO 12 ACRES, INCREASE OPEN SPACE AREA TO 5.1 ACRES. INCREASE AMOUNT CINNAMON -- MAXIMUM -- THAT PERCENTAGE DUE TO ALL OF THE NEWLY PROPOSED LOTS PROPOSED.
INCREASE THE TOTAL TYPE THREE FROM -- TO --. THIS CHART GIVES A BREAKDOWN. PROPOSAL NOW FROM NOTABLE CHANGES WITHIN STAGE FIVE TO THESE PARTICULAR AREAS TOLL NOT INCREASE FROM 908 TO 119, THE TOTAL COMMERCIAL FROM 51 ACRES TO 35 ACRES. THIS NEXT SLIDE DEPICTS SITE CONCEPT LAYOUT. COMMERCIAL ROUGHLY AT 12 ACRES IN DARK ORANGE YEAR.

>> WE DID INCREASE THE OPEN SPACE --
[00:35:11]
BEHIND THAT. >> ENHANCES SUCH AN INTEREST IN RESIDENTIAL HOMES. WAS THERE NOT A SECOND ENTRANCE THAT WAS
>> I WASN'T ON COUNCIL AND THIS WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED .
THIS IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY. PART OF THE REASON FOR ALL THE COMMERCIAL WAS WHAT WAS THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE HIGHWAY FRONTAGE. I FEEL LIKE BY INCREASING COMMERCIAL, DECREASING COMMERCIAL AND INCREASE RESIDENTIAL ALONG THE HIGHWAY BREAKS THE SPIRIT OF WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO LAST TIME. I DO THINK THERE, TOO. A LOT OF FRONTAGE THERE. THERE IS GOING TO BE AN OFFRAMP THERE. I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE THAT FAR AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION.
BEING MOVED, WHY IS AN INVITATION FOR COMMERCIAL TO BE
THERE AND NOT DOWN THE LEG. >> THE COMMERCIAL ACREAGE THAT WOULD REMAIN?
>> 11.75. AND THERE IS NINE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
[00:40:30]
>> I AM TRYING TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND HELP A LITTLE BIT.
WHEN I QUESTIONS ABOUT FRONT ENTRY. ANYONE STRAIGHT ACROSS AND LEAVE THAT AS COMMERCIAL, BUT ALLOW VERTICAL MIXED-USE THERE TO HELP EASE SOME OF THAT EXPENSE CONCERN. THE FOLLOWING I AM SAYING? I GET THE REASON -- OFFICES AREN'T WORKING REALLY WELL RIGHT NOW AND YOU WORRY ABOUT THE RETAIL SIDE.
>> VERTICAL USE MIX THERE IS PROBABLY A STRETCH, I WOULD THINK. WE DO HAVE MULTI FAMILY TOWNHOMES HERE. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, LIKE A 300 FOOT
>> TRYING TO DIAL BACK FROM THAT 65% A LITTLE BIT.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO TELL ANYONE HOW TO BUILD THE BUILDING. TRYING TO THINK OF OPTIONS YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF
>> I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE CONCEPT OF
>> THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT UP VERTICAL MIXED-USE IS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT COST SCENARIO HELPS WITH PROMOTING. MY CONCERN IS INAUDIBLE ] DEFINITELY NOT TELLING ANYONE HOW TO MANAGE
THEIR PROPERTY. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS? ANYTHING TO ADD? >> --, A COUPLE DIFFERENT
THINGS. >> TO MANIPULATE IN A SMALL AREA WE WOULD HAVE TO GET CREATIVE. MORE HORIZONTAL AND LESS VERTICAL. LAY IT OUT AND SEE. AS MENTIONED, JUST THINKING ON OUR SIDE IT IS BEST USED TO GET MORE RESIDENTIAL IN
[00:45:05]
THERE. UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN ABOUT HAVING RESIDENTIAL ALL THE WAY TO THE HIGHWAY. WE CAN LOOK AT TAKING UP THE TOP LINE AND HAVE SOME SORT OF SUPPORTIVE BUFFER. IN OUR MINDS THE EXPERIENCE WE'VE HAD>> OR IT MIGHT BE WISE TO MAKE A FEW TWEAKS. JUST THE FEEDBACK YOU GOT TODAY.
PRESENTED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOVING THREE LOTS BACK UP TO THE GAS WELL, TO REARRANGE THOSE. AND -- FROM 65% TO 60%
>> RESTATED FOR CLARITY SIX WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MOVING LOTS BACK UP TO THE GAS SITE. WHAT ARE THOSE LOT NUMBERS? THOSE THREE? THE THREE IN THE MIDDLE .

GARAGES FROM 65% TO 60%. >> MOTION ON THE TABLE. IS THERE A SECOND? I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION. IS THERE FURTHER
DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION? >> I THOUGHT THE PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE A BUFFER TO THE GAS WELL SITE.

FRIENDLY AMENDMENT? >> I'M GOOD.
>> YOU WANT THE MOTION TO STAND
ORIGINAL OR WITH AMENDMENT? >> REPEAT THE AMENDMENT?

>> I WILL EXCEPT THE AMENDMENT.
>> THEY DO NOT BACK TO THE HIGHWAY. THEY FRONT TO THE SIDE STREET. TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THAT IS CORRECT.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED LAST LOTS NINE, 10, AND 11 AT THE GAS WELL AND LOTS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT TO RETAIN COMMERCIAL.
WE SET IF NEED BE. >> I MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE IT FOR THE MOMENT AND COME BACK WITH AN AMENDMENT.
