Thank you. Thank you. All right. Attention, please. Thank you. Does it work now? There we go. Okay. We're working. We have Tuscany Unit 11 amended. It's located off of Old Rosebud. Old Rosebud's here. Villa Minici Pass comes in here. Currently we have a record plot for all these lots and so we're only creating these lots here. Let's see if we get, okay whoops, let me go back. So we're creating the 25 lots at the top of this plot here because the rest of them all have been recorded and the house's construction that started. So with that we have typical sign-offs, engineering traffic, addressing, forester, environmental quality, bike ped, green space. We need addition of name and address of the developer for the property. We need the vicinity sketch oriented in the same direction as the lotting scheme. Resolve the location of an actual gas transmission pipeline within the development. It's not located on this plan but it's near so we just need that noted. Discuss location of common open space for 25 dwelling units per Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance. And discuss location of HOA areas. So it was presented, the applicant gave us a copy of this plan, overall plan for the Tuscany. The lots that we are looking at are these lots right here on unit 11. And so the question was discuss the location of the HOA. As you can see the green is all the HOA but the access to the HOA. On this plan you see that they have drawn some lines with a dimension showing how to access the greenway. They don't have a direct access off this corner but have a route to get to the greenway so we left that as a discussion between 11 and 12 and so with that I'll open it to you all to see if there's any other comments or questions questions for staff that's that's a road for another section I'm going to show you here shortly morning Rory Keeley the partners so yeah you'll see for Tuscany plans today this exhibit pretty much addresses all of them and how we're the development itself has got open space everywhere and so for number 11 ordinance says you have to have 90 percent of your residences or front doors have to have access to a greenway within a quarter mile so that's the orange lines we drew on there showing that all but three lots in unit 11 are within that quarter mile. So that meets it. Our 90% is covered. The next plans you see 11, 12, and 13 are all closer than that. Even the apartments, all the doors in the apartments are within that quarter mile. And I thought we were in complete compliance with the ordinance. I guess what I'm hoping that I hear today with this exhibit up here. Any questions with the applicant? And we'll denote the gas line. Just for everyone's benefit, it came from a lot of career. That's why the department has set the bar off since the year. I hope it's a lot of ramping the site. a big transmission one we've been dealing with since we started Tuscany. I do have a question. So why are we we ended up with a technical committee approved? Well, you're on Yeah, you're looking at the first one. It's 11. 11 phase 2 is the next one you'll see. Okay, we're at postponement. What's the reason we are at a postponement stage right now? Well, the preliminary subdivision plan itself, the lots I'm showing, don't have an HOA lot on that plan. I've got HOA lots across the entire development, but I don't have it on that piece of paper. And that was the question, whether or not I had to show some HOA with this section, or as I believe the development, I handle it. So what you're saying, it's not on the plan that you submitted, but this larger exhibit includes the HOA? Yeah. There's no HOA lot on that piece of Union 11 because it's a regional design. A portion of it has already been plied and recorded. The lower portion, like from this line right here. and heading down all this has been recorded and so it was under the old ordinance and so the question is today since they're coming back in to record the upper 25 lots in that it requires them to have an open space if you're going to order if you're going to record 24 I'm tongue tied this morning more than 25 units you have to have an open space and so that's why it got postponed is because they're going to have greater than 25 units on this last portion now we're applying the new ordinance to these last lots as opposed to following with the old ordinance I thought I just, I mean, no, I thought I just did that. Are they in compliance with the new ordinance? We don't have an open space on this area. We have access, but as we were talking about, the access doesn't, these last few lots up here are the ones that he's talking about that do not that do not meet the distance and which he had just explained do not meet that distance they're just outside of that distance and and and that's the issue that came up when it was originally filed we didn't have the exhibit for the big picture, because these are little pieces of a big picture. It appears that he's close to being in compliance, and we just want to evaluate that further to be sure. There's a slight, perhaps, discrepancy or disagreement on distance to ensure compliance, because the new ordinance is very specific about the distance to the green space. So it's a matter of measuring the plan at scale and establishing that these last two or three lots, we've got to understand it's just a small portion of this property to ensure that they meet the new ordinance. we didn't know that at technical committee and so you're hearing the discussion today Tom do you think this is resolvable yes sir we think it's resolved with both of these any additional questions for the applicant other staff. Does Rory think this is resolvable? I think it's already resolved, but sure. Okay. We want to verify that. That's why he submitted this. This is for us. So the boy who does green space, we just want to work with him on that. And there's a way to fix it. It has a cost to the applicant, and that's if they wanted to establish another access point. Now, due to our new regulations, those access points are now bigger than they used to be. So the cost could conceivably be a lot, and that is something that a developer has to take into consideration. So there is a way to resolve this issue. Yes. So do you still think that it's appropriate to keep it under postponement until this can be resolved? I think it could be approved subject to being resolved. Because there is certainly, they believe they resolved it. We'd like to verify that with them. We believe there's a path forward to resolve it. So are we then talking about changing the wording on items 11 and 12 to resolve? Yes, ma'am. On those before any motion occurs? Yes, ma'am. I would. Okay, any other questions? All right, thank you all. Do we have public comment? Being done, let's bring it back to the committee. Madam Chair, I move for approval of PLN MJSUB 24-2 Tuscany Unit 11 with the 12 recommendations or conditions, 11 and 12 modified to say resolve rather than discuss. Second. Okay. It's been moved and second. All in favor? Aye. All right. You name this. Okay, next. Okay, we're going to move down to Tuscany Unit 11, Phase 2. again this is a portion another portion of the lotting this one we just came off of then I get Villa Michi pass these are the lots up here that we were just looking at we just approved so if you come off of there we have these additional lots that are being recorded As you can see it's blown up a little bit. These it's not at the same scan view. You need to rotate it a little bit but these are those lots right here. And as you can see this is the access easement comes through here and it'll get all these lots that bring us over to what we were just talking about here. So with the new plan, we had our typical sign-offs, engineering traffic, addressing Forester, environmental quality, bike and ped, green space. We need the addition of the name and address of the developer, revised vicinity sketch to orient to the same direction of the lighting scheme, denote proposed with pedestrian access easement, correct note number four, resolve location of natural gas line as he had just pointed out as to where that gas line was it's not on this plan but we just when it became notice that it was in the area discuss lotting pattern proposed on Villa Maniche cul-de-sac and then discuss location and timing of the proposed trail There was some question about the lotting configuration of a couple of these lots in the point. So we were just kind of questioning as far as the pattern on that. Discuss the location and timing of the proposed trail. There's a trail that comes through here. the fact that it's wavering on the different lots in the HOA area and then we also were wanting to know what the timing was on that. So the trail comes along through this area here as part of the trail system throughout the Tuscany area and there was some agreements with as far as the timing I mean, when that was going to be built by the developer. So that's why we have discussed on that question. With that, I'll open it to you all to see if there's any other comments or questions. How many lots are in that area? This one is only, I think it's 20, 21, I'm sorry, 21. So that's why it falls underneath the 25. and we do have direct access to the greenway in this HOA lot up here in the top. Any other questions for staff? All right, applicant. I realize you might not all have the background. The reason that they keep telling me to add the developer name is because right now the Gatton Trust has been under a lawsuit for a couple of years on who can develop and how it finishes up. So you saw me last month. I was trying to get some plans extended. The Gatton Trust has got the Tuscany property up for sale. All of its development is up for sale. so I haven't had a developer purchase the land off the Gatton Trust yet. We can make the Gatton Trust be the owner developer to finish this note. But what we're doing now is we're trying to get all the properties approved by you and active so that when it is purchased and the true developer builder comes in, he doesn't have to start at ground zero and come back through this process. We're having all these before you to get them approved. We've had these, everything I turned in, I can't say that, 11, 11 phase 2 and 12 were all previously certified by this body, and they've all expired now that we're into April. What we turned back in was basically the same plan. We just added a few more bots. These used to be hundreds. Now we dropped them down to 65s or 75s. before we had, okay, we had some 80s. We dropped them down just a smaller lot to get a few more unit counts on them with the Phase 11 and the next one you'll see the Phase 12. So that's the background of Tuscany and why you haven't seen me up here with so much Tuscany stuff as of late. We have turned in for number 13 and 14. We've turned in a waiver request. The new rules tell me that I cannot have a cul-de-sac off of a cul-de-sac. So the property you see here is a cul-de-sac off of a cul-de-sac. Everything to the right and above it is recorded HOA land owned by Homeward's Association right now. To the left and to the bottom of it is recorded lots, houses on them. So that's the only shape I got left. don't really have a place to bring another street into it this was the exact same layout that was certified and active one month ago so we're asking for a waiver of the new rule that says I can't do a cul-de-sac off of the cul-de-sac so that this plan can continue the site is rough graded it's flat we've got a sewer line built through there already comes that way it's you know it's ready to go when we get a developer to purchase the land they basically just need to add some utilities on the street. And it's, I mean, we had to improve construction plans. This was shovel ready as they say. That's why we need to keep the street alignment as approved previously. The trail, so that dash line is from the 90, what was it, the 03 zone change. We've kept the dash line on just to let you know that there is a trail system proposed out there. As we get into this, the HOA itself is going to own the property. The trail is theirs to build and maintain. It's all on theirs. It needs to be designed. It hasn't been designed yet. My guess is we'll put it on the other side of the creek. So as far as discussing the location and timing, we've still got hundreds of units and hundreds of apartments to build yet. We haven't designed that. The ordinance says that you have to have your open space dedication with this improvements prior to your last CO. So I think it's a little premature to be able to tell them how big and where it will be at this moment when we've got, from that greenway exhibit, we've got a lot of land yet to go to figure out where we're going to connect through. And I want to make sure everyone understands it's HOA. It's been from the zone change that was established it was going to be HOA. Any questions for staff? Mr. Cayley, I got a question about the timing. I think we're going to run into, as a body here, plans that were submitted under the previous ordinance, having to adjust in some way to meet the current ordinance. and there's going to be some difficulty along those during that process. Yes, absolutely. So that's what we're seeing right here. Anything that comes back for an extension, a re-approval, or in my case I expired and I need to file basically the same plan that I just had certified, it's all getting scrutinized under the new rules, which is why I needed the waiver for the cul-de-sacs on this one and why we had the discussion about having more than 25 single-family lots without having an open space area shown on that preliminary subdivision plan, where it was universal not to that piece. And this is requiring more work on the part of the developer with some plans that were previously approved, trying to get them re-approved under the new ordinance. are there some are we seeing property rights being infringed upon in this area as well is that a possibility from the perspective of the developer because I'm hearing that it is are you asking for an opinion here Mr. Neville I am asking for various opinions I'm asking for opinion from the developer side for sure because I think we're going to see more and more of this you're going to see more of it today we are today that's good okay More of it today. Yeah, the word taking has been mentioned a few times, I guess. Bruce, it's an issue. It is, and staff is aware of the issue. And Rory did not submit the waiver when he submitted this plan at technical. He has now submitted a waiver. You're going to hear that waiver, and that process can address these issues with these types of plans. Thank you. I'm just saying some of these are going to be a little bit more complicated that new plans are being brought in under the current ordinance. Speaking of opinions, this one is much more straightforward than some others that you will see. Okay. I mean, because you have a built environment with infrastructure in the ground. You have a greenway and a floodplain and that type of issue that's impacting this site. Furthermore, it's a minimal cul-de-sac. You know, it's a small number of lots. And, again, it was previously approved like this for many years. I mean, this is a new regulation. So all those, in staff's opinion, probably speaks to their favor. Okay. I just was pointing out, trying to learn a little bit more about this, because I've heard that we are going to be seeing more of these developments. Yes, absolutely. Yes, sir. And just as a point of clarification, the lotting pattern is not part of the waiver. That's the culver-sac itself. The issue with the lotting pattern was primarily that one that you can see with the little point. He can square that up. That's all we're asking for is for him to square that up a little bit so that the owner can actually get down into that little corner and mow the grass. I think you sort of indirectly answered this question, but it's always, for me, a challenge to look at one part of an overall development. And our focus, you know, since the new comp plan is more diversity in housing stock, you mentioned apartments, but so far everything we've seen is single-family homes that detached. Is that correct? Yeah. When we get to Unit 13, we brought in a multifamily. Mm-hmm. Okay. We have a couple plans now. I'm trying to think holistically about this development. So it's there. We're just not seeing it on this part, right? Well, and that's because this is the part that they need to have approved so they can get it built and recorded. And it's why staff recommended to Roy bring in the big picture because we wanted to see it. We wanted you to see the big picture. Tom, as to these two discuss items. Resolve. It sounds like resolve with the waiver. And one will probably at your hearing. And that's why it's not on here because the waiver wasn't submitted, but there will be a waiver report at the hearing. Okay. You'll need to approve or disapprove, whatever you decide. Would there be any reason to add that language and resolve with waiver or just resolve? You could certainly add a condition provided the Planning Commission grants the requested waiver. Okay. You certainly could add that. Now that they requested it. Yeah, that one got by me. Never even thought of it long term. Yeah, it hit us after we were talking about it, looking at it. It all kind of hit us. Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, you've got this little issue as well. We were focused very much on the open space issue and that challenge. All right, great. Any other questions? Do we have any public comment? I kind of think we don't. I don't think anybody came in. All right. Back to the committee. Madam Chair, I'll move for recommendation approval plan MJSUB 24-3, Tuscany Unit 11, Phase 2, with the, what is it, 13, 14, with the 14 conditions, changing 13 and 14 to resolve, with 13 reading resolve, provided the Planning Commission approves waiver request. That's 15. Is that? You need to have the waiver request. I would just add that. Okay. I would just add that. 13 and 14 being resolved, and 15 provided the Planning Commission approves a waiver request. Second. Okay, so we're moving in second. All in favor? Aye. It's unanimous. Thank you. All right. Okay, Unit 12 on Tuscany. We're still in Tuscany. Okay, here is the next section. you'd you'd asked briefly about that crossing the road well here's that road section that we were talking about crossing over the greenway and then we have some additional lots bringing us down here to old Rosebud and bringing us up here's the street that brings us into the other section for single-family homes with that here's here's where we're talking about here's 12 these are the lots here and then a few lots up here and as you can see they have the greenway access through these lots all the way down to here to old Rosebud So with that, we have our typical sign-offs, engineering traffic, addressing, forester, environmental quality, bike and peg, green space. As he explained, the addition of name and address of developer, vicinity sketch needs to be oriented, depict location of trail, men's or way. there was question as to whether or not this trail was going to go underneath the road or on whoops sorry I pushed too many buttons if it was going to go underneath or over Mensah Way which comes this direction here so we wanted to get that clarified. Clarify the 15-foot storm sewer and drainage easement behind lots 45 and 46. It looks like there's an easement that comes in here in Stubbs, but he says it's continued. Clarify 30-foot sanitary sewer easement in the floodplain. Resolve location of gas line. Again, discuss common open space for 25 dwelling units and discuss location and timing of the proposed trail. So, again, we've been talking about all the access and connections and that sort of thing. So with that, I'll open it to you all to see if there's any other comments or questions. Questions for staff? Hello again. All right, number 10. So that is the crossing there in the Greenway. that's Mesner Way. That is constructed. It's got the headwalls in, the water's flowing. It's a defined space based on the cross section of the street. We believe that the trails will come through the greenway. They'll come up to the road and at that point they will use the sidewalks that we shouldn't be trying to put a trail width into our street section through there. I mean you've got your construction in place for one thing and you've got the defined area and plus trails can go tie into sidewalks and then function from that point on. So I didn't really, I guess I'd like to see number 10 go away as an option. The number 11 is the permanent storm sewer easement. And that is coming off of right here is a development we did assisted living, memory care. So they have a drainage easement off the back of their property that stays there. On the undeveloped portion of Tuscany is just a basin for it. As these lots get developed, that storm water will get picked up in the pipes and moved on. The easement listed here, the 15-foot permanent storm drainage, stays on the assisted living properties. Everything that's on to be developed is temporary until we come in there and put in storm pipes. So that one is a thing that's clarified. It stays as is until we remove the detention by recording new lots with storm sewers. Twelve. Twelve was fun. So out there in the flood plain we had easements established 20 plus years ago. Well, we referenced them by a deed. Chris Dent was here and he said that when he turned on his mapping that didn't exactly overlay, which is very possible from very old deeds. We will work with him to, if we need to rotate and align the easement better or somehow we'll get reflected. It's all existing easements through the floodplain, greenway areas that are non-buildable. So it won't affect any of our lots. We just got to work with him to see if we can't make his mapping and our deeded easements align better. I would clarify that that clarification there also alludes to line wait. It's difficult to ascertain the location just to do the line waits on the plan. It's not that I think there was any concern with the conflict because of its location in the Greenway floodplain. It's just more, again, being sure that it's legible and they indicate it clearly on the plan. And then the last two or the same discussion we've been having, every one of these lots is, most of them back up to the greenway, but they are all within a very short walking distance of one of the access points. Do you have any questions for that? Okay, I guess not. No public comment. Alright, we're back to committee. So, given the discussion, are there any conditions that can be removed at this point, or do you just leave them as they are in changing 1415 to resolve so are you saying that can be eliminated or leave it there and say that you can leave it what's going to happen can i denote it because we don't actually have the i mean we haven't worked out the trail location yeah yeah yeah we got really to get the trail location set we're going to have to have the plans approved construction documents drawn approved and built and then we're going to see where you can get up and down to the roads and put the trails in there. We've always shown it as a dash line is approximate. We know there's one going through there. We just need to develop the houses on both sides before we can tell you where it's at. So do we put change depict to denote? I was going to ask, what is the street cross-section for Messner that you're showing on there? It's 5031. I think we got the five foot sidewalks on this one. Yeah. A minister was that, I guess the collector, size 5031 with five foot sidewalks. Is that sufficient? It's built. Keep that in mind. The culvert's built, but the road's not. Right, but the culvert and the grading, I mean, the structure's there, we just haven't put the paving on top yet. Because when you guys work with Scott, you know what his opinion would be on that. Well, and I think that's one of those things that's ultimately going to be resolved on the improvement plans. Yeah. all right any other questions madam chair I'd like to move for approval of PLN MJ she'd be 24 for Tuscany unit 12 with the 15 conditions changing number 10 to denote location of trail on messenger way and then changing 14 and 15 to both resolve Second. All right. Movement second. Questions? All in favor? Aye. Unanimous. All right. Moving right on. All right. Madam Commissioner and members of the committee, we're moving on down to the bottom of your page under development plans. This is Major Development Plan 24-15. Terrace View Subdivision, Unit 2B. We're headed out to Versailles Road, Versailles. We were in sunny Italy, Tuscany. Now we're headed to France. Here we are. We're out on good old Versailles Road. To your left, you're headed out. It would be Mason Healy, Cardinal Valley, and Mason Healy in that direction, and the Cardinal Hospital. And of course, if you're headed back into town at this location, back in here is Hill Rise and all that older development from the 60s back in here. And this is a proposal the developers purchased a lot, one of those large big homes on it, and is proposing an apartment building, which you can see. A single building utilizing the existing access. You can see a sidewalk being proposed out to the street along the front of the building along with some proposed parking. One time in discussions with staff there was some consideration that this may be an affordable housing project. I don't know that that's been actually solidified and determined at this time relative to their funding, but that was at one time something that the developer was discussing with staff. conditions on page three you can see are pretty standard sign-off conditions for development plan. Technical committee found very few issues with this particular plan with one exception and that being the proposed dumpster location. It was discussed at length with solid waste at technical. The interesting aspect and the reason it was initially raised with the applicant is that you can see the open space on the property. An existing garage, of course, will go away. It struck staff that where would a dumpster go and what would the impact be on the open space? Well, if you look at this property here, they own this property, and they're currently utilizing this apartment building and this building. There is cross-access, and we have dumpsters down here. Their intention is to utilize those dumpsters as part of the development. Now, ultimately, what's decided will be up to solid waste signing off on that. They didn't express a big concern with that. It was more get your enclosure correct, get your doors on there, make sure you have the right number of dumpsters. So it will be incumbent on the residents, yes, to carry their garbage down to that location. but again that was the only issue it is certainly resolvable subject to uh to solid waste sign off which is number nine that you can see uh on the condition as well so uh you could delete it or resolve it they they solid waste again on technical committee was very much aware of it and it was discussed at length with the applicant in terms of solid waste another little interesting thing that popped up, but again, it's just something they have to do. If you've ever looked at the lotting pattern over Sales Road, those big long lots and those big houses and that sort of thing, well, apparently some of those properties are still on seppy tanks. So obviously this building will be hooking up to the sanitary sewer on the property. So with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have for staff. is this the plan that had shepherd's house mentioned on it it's one of the plans that i looked at last night mentioned shepherd's house is this it or not it don't think so no yeah okay there was a use here at one time that would have been a sober living yes so there i think there may have been such a use uh on the property at one time that that's going away they're they're going to build this new apartment building, yes. How many units is in that? Oh, Rory, off the top of your head, I was saying 24. 24? Yeah, 24 units. Okay, any other questions for staff? All right, applicant, Rory, you're working today. I took off last month. Yeah, the dumpster pad is newly constructed. They had worked with the Solid Waste Department when they were doing it for the apartments off of Hill Rise. It's got one dumpster in it now, but it's built wide enough for two. So when they get the second building, this proposed building here built, they'll add a second dumpster to the site. And that's how the garbage trucks service it coming off of the Hill Rise cul-de-sac. And we ran the fire truck through there for Captain L'Engle. And he can get in and out of the site. So I'm sure that the garbage truck will be just fine as well. That's how he services it now. How many stories is it? Three stories. Any other questions for the applicant? I mean, for the applicant. Okay. Being none, any public comment? All right, I'll bring you back to committee. So are we in a position to change the wording on number 13? You bid to actually drop 13. It's always to be signed up on this plan. As I said, it was well discussed. Okay. Okay. This is one of those page turners. I need a little help here. Madam Chair, I move for approval of PLN MJDP 2415 Terrace View Subdivision Unit 2B with the attached 12 conditions. Second. All right. Moved and second. Any questions? All in favor? Aye. Thank you. Thank you. Members of the committee, we're moving down to item B, Major Development Plan 24-16, Tuscany Unit 13. Here is our apartment buildings. And you can see that this is meeting place up here, which is behind the high school up off of Paul Lawrence. No, what is it? Frederick Douglass. I'm sorry. Frederick Douglass High School. It's off Winchester Road. This is Haymaker. So we'll have access off of Haymaker here. And then also off of Meeting Place over in this location. I was trying to find the other one. You can see that they have apartment buildings on both sides of Haymaker. They have one building over here. This is our greenway back here behind us. As you can see, here it is. There's the high school, Meeting Place. We have our access, the apartment buildings, Haymaker. And then another apartment building backing up all the way to the greenway. And so with that, we have our typical conditions. And then addition to name and address of developer, denote height of building and feet, addition of owner certification, addition of planning commission certification. I think they just got, they just try to get it in too quick and they miss the big things. And then resolve location of the natural gas transmission line. And as Rory said, there's a setback because the gas line is coming in through here. So we just wanted to make that noted. So with that, I'll open it to you all if there's any other comments or questions. Any other questions for staff? Okay. Applicant. To the title block, I have to add preliminary subdivision plan as well. We found that at TRC. I think everyone on this one, we've talked about everything up to this point. I think we're pretty good. This would be the third apartment complex in Tuscany proper. There's a town home development that's been active for several years recently on unit 10. It's a town home style but because of separation and recording rules it looks like townhouses but it will be apartment units. And then Tuskegee itself has seven different areas of varying lot sizes for single family. So there's the multiple family types within the property. What units are we talking about in this? Oh, 12 buildings at 24. We should be around the 290 mark. That's our usual layout. Can you read that, Cheryl? Oh, I got an extra building. This looks familiar. We tend to like to use the same set of buildings over and over as we lay things out. out. Big buildings, fits lots of shapes. It looks a lot like a specific developer. They're in the running. Alright. The only comment I have is that you all did a nice job moving the buildings to the exterior of the property and hiding the parking in the interior. That donut shape is something that is appropriate and we're seeing more and more of and we appreciate it. You're requiring it. We're requiring it. Thanks for the compliment, but you required it. And I would remind the committee, because I know you all, again, we appreciate your service, but you don't deal with this all the time like we do. The gas line, you know, there's a notification requirement now with these transmission lines, because they're the ones that tend to go boom in certain places. It's not a selling point, Tom. It's not a selling point. So that's one reason you see this condition is because there is a notification requirement that goes to the transmission company. Let them know. All right. Any other questions for the applicant? No public comment. I mean, it's back to the committee. Madam Chair, I'd like to move for approval of PLN MJDP 2416, Tuscany Unit 13, with the attached 16 conditions. Second. It has been moved and seconded. Any questions to the motion? All in favor? All right. Thank you. Moving along. 17 the Lucille Cottle Little property and of course the conditions are on the following page yes okay the property is located off of Mackinwood Drive off of Mackinwood Drive. We have Old Frankfort Pike up here. This is Alexandria Drive in the rear, which we have no access to. It just backs up to Alexandria because there's a grade change. And it's also within this industry park. So the access here is off of Mackinwood. What they're proposing to do is they're coming in and adding some additional storage buildings. This is in the I-1 zone, and they're wanting to do storage units like we have enough. So they're adding some additional storage units on this property. We had a development plan a few years ago, and they're coming back again to add some additional buildings. So with that, we have our typical sign-offs, engineering, traffic, landscaping, addressing Forester, Bike and Ped, Green Space, Division of Waste Management. We have a new note from building inspection, all buildings, paving signs, fences, walls. They need to note, have this note added so that they know that they need to meet the building permit requirements. Addition of the purpose of amendment note. They don't have a purpose of amendment, and when I say they're adding square footage, it's because when I started looking at the site statistics, the numbers started changing. So that's why I was figuring the adding building square footage. Remove the word draft and the red line from the face. Darken driveways, driveway lines. It's very difficult to see some of the access getting on and off the property off of Mackinwood because they have one coming in and another driveway going out. Complete owners and planning commission certifications with signature lines and dates Clarify building square footage and total square footage When I started calculating the square footage by the dimensions of what they were showing on the buildings And what they were proposing in the site statistics, I came up with different numbers So I just want them to verify that for us Delete the utility provider information We also, now that this is coming back in and we have to meet the new regs on the zoning ordinance, even though it was a development plan previously, every time you bring in a development amendment, you have to meet the minimum requirements. So we have discussed compliance with articles 16, 18, and 20 of the zoning ordinance, which is our parking, landscaping, and open space. And then discuss note for existing edge of concrete surface area, because they're showing like this is the edge of the pavement. We do not allow gravel. It needs to be paved all the way through, so I'm not quite sure. Is it just saying that we're doing concrete here and then the rest of it's blacktop or they think they're going to do gravel for the rest of it? We need to verify that. With that, I'll open it to you all to see if there's any other comments or questions. Any questions for staff? There might be another applicant. Good morning. Abby Jones, Abby Jones Consulting. We're essentially the fixer for the site. A new owner is now trying to bring the site into compliance. They found out when they bought the property that some things hadn't happened with building permits in the past, and so they understand that they will have to get LDPs and building permits submitted. not just for the proposed buildings, but for things that maybe did not get done in the past. And again, that was a prior group. But we're here to make it right. So we're glad to take care of all of these things that have been discussed. We don't have any problems with any of those requests. And we do intend for all of the items to be paved. I don't know if it's going to all be concrete or all be asphalt, but we do intend for it all to be no gravel we know that I'm glad to answer any questions with 16 as far as 16 18 and 20 parking landscape and open space all that is doable yes since we're just having mini storage it's not a difficult thing on the parking side in particular okay any other questions thank you thank you any public comment madam chair for something else I'll move for a recommendation of approval Plan MJTP 2417 Lucille Cottle Little Property with the 17 conditions changing 16 and 17 to resolve. Second. All right. It's been moved and second. Any questions to the motion? All in favor? All right. Unanimous. Thank you, members of the committee. I'm reminded of George Carlin and his routine on stuff with all these mini warehouses. We all have too much stuff. I know I write a check every month for one, so too much stuff. Anyway, that's just an observation there. We're moving along to Hamburg East, Major Development Plan 24-19, also known as the Bellhurst Townhomes. We are out along, man, a war as it heads to Winchester Road, Blackford Parkway. You've seen this. you've actually approved it. This is an amendment to this plan. We, of course, have the single-family homes over in this section. We have a plat that, if it hadn't been recorded, should be recorded soon on this little section through here. Oh, here we are. We're with the townhouses. And, again, you can see the access points, the layout. Here's the greenway and the floodplain down in this area. This amendment is to make the porches larger. Okay, that's all it is. And we stress that at technical committee as well. Because, again, this sort of thing happens. You know, builders come in, they look at things, they tweak their layouts, they tweak their units. And in this case, they're tweaking their porches. So that's why you see only a few conditions on this plan. Interesting enough, it is a final development plan. There has to be a sign, there has to be an affidavit. and there has to be a statement, and you will find a memo from staff next week that states that this does comply with the AMP, because, again, we're increasing the size of their porches. So we had one little item to denote. You can see on FI that the porches that extend over the front building line must comply. They have to be projections. That is very important in Article 15. You can't enclose them. Because now you get into square footage. So, again, that's one thing we just want to make clear, because as those porches extend, they're getting right up against the building line. If they extend over, they're regulated as under Article 15-5. So that was the only thing we wanted to be clear with the developer. Be happy to answer any questions you may have. Questions for staff? All right. Welcome back. Thank you. I'll give you my one-minute soapbox request. I'm up here because they wanted to make bigger, nicer porches. In the zone, there are no limitations to coverage. So I would love for you guys to think about next changes. If there's no limitation to coverages, don't make us go through this process just because they made the porches bigger. If there's not a limitation, let us move with that a little bit somehow. Well, there's a note that's been developed by staff that addresses townhouse developments that you've seen it. I think you asked a question about it one time in the committee that allows individual owners to make these changes without amending the development plan as long as they comply with the zoning ordinance. That will only become an issue if they subdivide these and sell them individually. And in that case, they'd have to be built first and then sold. That is correct. These are being built to be rentals. The builder doesn't have any flexibility without coming back to this body and taking up months and notifying and signs and all that other activities that don't help the bottom line. Well, again, the issue really there is coverage, lot coverage and FAR, which is a final development plan issue. It is not a staff issue either. It's something that the Planning Commission needs to approve. I think that if it was individually owned, we would be comfortable. But it's a rental property. It's governed by a development plan. And if the developer wants to make those types of changes, he will make them at scale, we would assume. And therefore, it would be appropriate to bring it back to you, we believe. This is a reasonable people can disagree, is it? It wasn't an unreasonable request, but again, it's a matter of lot coverage and floor area, which are serious development plan issues, or can be, but certainly not something we would burden a single family owner with. I kind of think you all can continue this discussion upstairs. All right. Any questions for the applicant? Thank you. Any public comment? All right. Bring it back to the committee. Madam Chair, I'll move for recommendation approval of Plan MJDP 24-19, Hamburg East with the six conditions. Second. All right. Motion made and seconded. All in favor? All right. Thank you. All right, thank you. Madam Chairman, members of the committee, we're moving on down to the bottom of page four. We have a major development plan, 24-20 NDC property, Unit 1A, Lot 11. and we have passed out revised conditions for you as well. So we're out off Wellington Way and we're back in behind Ashland Baptist Church. Here's the church property. This is the subject property. This is New Circle Road. And of course, Wellington Way is down here. The circle, the traffic circle is right over in here. And, of course, Myers and all that is off to your right. Let me go back first. So, again, what you have before you is something you may recall. You recently saw this, and this is a development plan for a 24-unit affordable elderly housing development in this particular location. You can see, again, the building. They're building access here. They have access into the property with their parking. There's a canopy entrance, dumpsters in the back. We've got buffer here and here. There's buffering. There's a gas line up here. It's not transmission. It is high pressure, but it's not transmission. It's just a service line for the community. And a large setback relative to New Circle Road in that situation. There's the park right over here. This is our park that has the dog park and the greenway and the beautiful green area and all that. It's a very, very nice little amenity for that particular area. They are back before you because the good news is they got funded. So they're going to be able to move forward and build this. Now, you can see that they cleaned this up nicely. for staff and for you, so we have a lot of standard conditions. We do have, they need to delete notes 21 and 22. That was an original condition. They did it. They added a couple more on there. Those need to be deleted. And the reason being is number 13. Resolve timing status and termination to the existing access easement. Those two notes address it, but they address a future situation that may or may not be the resolution of this particular issue. And that is, there's an existing platted access easement. Right here. Through the church property that serves this property, they have access. It doesn't even require a finding from you. It exists. They can use it. the issue is whether or not it gets extended and serves this property and whether or not it's going to become a public street. They've had discussions with the Lexington-Fed Urban County government about some assistance through funding that they have to, in essence, rebuild this access easement into a public street. That hadn't happened. I mean, that's not a done deal. So right now, you're basically looking at a development that can be served by an access season. So the condition is take those notes off and then address it through one note under 13, resolve timing and status and termination. In other words, tell us what you're anticipating doing, when you anticipate doing it. But it's still a caveat if we certainly, staff, hope they get the funding, hope they're able to do what they want to do. I mean, it's affordable housing. You know we support it. But until that commitment has been made, all you see before you is an access easement, which is adequate. It'll serve the development. So, again, I just wanted to explain that to you. We have resolved stormwater management. they're going to have to meet our requirements i believe the area is served by a regional basin but they will have to be sure that they they adhere to the stormwater manuals on their property and do what they're required to do to address that particular issue staff will be happy it's 24 units by the way oh it's 45 oh you got i'm sorry metal suite that's right okay 45 which is good it's good it's bigger more units yes well it's it's a final development plan on they threw the preliminary in there in anticipation of public infrastructure the street that's not well they come in with an amended plan or is it just going to be staff review if if they change it to public street? It would be a plat. They would, now, from your perspective, they need to have this worked out on the infrastructure plans, obviously. And they may or may not want to build it to those standards without that financial assistance, but I don't know if they'd want to burden their pro forma with such. So the timing is important to them and you as well for the infrastructure. Good news is they've got time to work that out on this plan. Any questions for staff? All right. Applicant. The applicant, you ready? Applicant. Do you have anything to add? You did a great job. I have nothing to add. Oh, okay. Any questions for the applicant? Do you all want to update them on where you stand with the street situation, just so they know? Thank you. So we have an application in Johan Graham with AU Associates for the developer. We have an application in with LFUCG Economic Development Department for $500,000 worth of public infrastructure funds to help turn this access easement into a public road that would serve our site and the surrounding undeveloped areas. So we're hoping either way we're building the road obviously, but it obviously impacts how much public improvement we can put on the road As a part of this plan. So we're working through that right now and they've asked for some more detail from stormwater and Curb and gutter information. So we're working through that, but we hope that's going to be successful and But we're moving forward in either case with the access access road in their development which was funded in January by Kentucky Housing Corporation. So will this plan be certified before all that's resolved? Because when I get an infrastructure plan, I need to know what's been approved and certified. Her question, I think, is when do you anticipate a decision on your application to the city? I think their next meeting is the first week of May. So we have to have our, further along than this, construction plans into them to accept what the improvements might look like for the transportation department here at LFUCG. And then hopefully they may work backwards and get it onto the building plans. Any questions for the applicant? Okay. Any public comment? Being none, back to committee. Question, Vaughn? You okay with what you've heard? Okay. Madam Chair, I'll move for recommendation approval. Plan MJDP 24-20 NDC properties with the revised 14 conditions. Second. Any questions to the motion? All in favor? Aye. Thank you. We're moving on down to item F, Major Development Plan 24-21, Ramsey Sullivan Property Unit 3. Revised conditions Okay, we're located This is Georgetown Road We have Citation Boulevard down this way and we have first we have spur and then we have citation down that way This is Kearney Ridge 75 whoops 75 64 is up in this area. So up north What we're doing is we are creating a lot right here off of Meadowsuite. This was an elderly apartment housing on this area off of Meadowsuite, Kearney Ridge, Meadowsuite. This was part of the overall property that wasn't developed. Now they're coming back in and wanting to put an apartment building on a portion of the property. So you can see blown up we have the structure of parking adjacent to the other property. With that we have our typical sign offs, engineering traffic, landscaping, addressing, forester, environmental quality, bike ped, green space, fire, waste management, the post office. Then we had just a few other cleanup conditions. purpose of amendment to depict new lotting of property what they're showing us here looks like they're adding additional property boundary currently this is all still part of one piece of property and so if they're going to subdivide this we need to also add to pick new lotting of the property addition of address for the property in the title block because we're creating this new lot so we need to have an address plus we have a structure on the property so addition of bearings and distances and general information for all properties they're not showing they're showing the bearings and distances for what is the new lot that they want to create but they are not showing the bearings and distances on the remaining portion we need to show all that because it's still one existing lot we need to have the information from the previous development plans on this property just because we look on this development plan because we like to bring everything forward we don't like to lose any information addition of topography on lot one we saw this last month with at the corner of Crony Ridge and Green Georgetown we had a C store located in this area this is all part of the development plan so we need to have the topography information on the rear we have correct label site statistics box for site 4 and lot 2b denote and review comments from the Royal Springs aquifer committee this has to go in front of the Royal Springs aquifer discuss the need for a subdivision plier to plan certification because you're under if you're to leave it on this one lot while we develop it or work through the process for the development plan it has to follow other group residential guidelines and so if they're wanting to subdivide it that needs to be done and have just a single building on one lot that to follow those guidelines we need to see that plan the record plat and then discuss compliance with article 20 of the zoning ordinance if it's a lot by itself we have to show how it's going to meet the open space for this lot so with that I'll open it to you all to see if there's any other comments or questions on the Royal Springs aquifer review is this been scheduled or held already they schedule as needed and they'll be going to it at the next meeting. I think there'll probably be more than one plan going forward to them. Any additional questions for staff? Alright. Applicant? This was another Frank Penn told me a long time ago when you have nothing to say don't mess it up so you know so Steve Garland prime aE representing a you so this is another 24 units of workforce affordable housing for City Lexington we understand all the conditions we talked to staff before the meeting about the plat timing we'll make sure we get on the Royal Springs aquifer agenda unless Tom's on that. So it is as needed. So if you have any questions I'm here to try my best. Any questions for the applicant? It doesn't look like there's any. Give you a chance to stretch your legs. And then I would add that on condition 18, it's denote need for subdivision prior to plan certification because it can't be certified until they've created that lot. Otherwise, you'd be looking at group presidential requirements. You'd be looking at a 20-foot perimeter setback, for instance, which this plan obviously cannot accommodate. And then resolve compliance with Article 20. One thing to add, we are in discussion with Mr. Barlow, who owns lot 2B, and we're looking at working, and we need to talk to staff about what the ramifications of it would be of flopping, flipping the parking and building location on the site plan. putting the parking, Mr. Barlow has requested the parking be against him, not the building, and what that might entail. And I think if I've messed up anything we've discussed, he's here. Mr. Barlow's in the back. I have a question, but it may be more for staff than for you, but you used the term workforce affordable housing, And I noticed at the last planning commission meeting, Mr. Murphy stepped back from using the term workforce housing. So is this official affordable housing? What's workforce housing now? Thank you. So this is deed-restricted 80% AMI housing that's being funded by the Lexington Affordable Housing Fund. Got it. So that was a great example of knowing when to stay in your lane. Okay. So the comment about switching the building and the parking, what does that do? We're looking to have it done by the next corrections date, which is Tuesday. They're going to have to have it done because the issue they would have if this got approved by the Planning Commission and then they wanted to switch it, that access being moved in excess of 25 feet would not be a staff approvable item, and they would have to come back to the Planning Commission if they flip it. So if it's approved by the Planning Commission and any changes fall within a minor amendment definition, Staff will approve those. We won't bring it back to you. But if it exceeds that, then they would have to come back. So it behooves them to get that worked out quickly. Okay. So we would see that change at the planning commission? Okay. If you are working so that we saw planes with a C-store, but I don't see any connectivity between this site and that. In fact, I see a dumpster, which is typically an obstacle. So can we flip it? I'm looking back. Mike, you have your exhibit, and we can share that with Mr. Parker. I don't need to see it today. It seems that this is more preliminary than what we think it is. Well, for this, this would be standalone with no connectivity. There's open sidewalks. Yeah. You have the sidewalk out to the walk. Metal Suite has a walk, goes around to Kearney Ridge Boulevard. There's all the, it's fairly flat topography. You've driven it. You know what it looks like. Intuitively, the public uses a path of least resistance. and you have goat paths and possibly unsafe conditions crossing a gas station. I've seen the plan, and I know it's not a safe condition for the C-Store in reality. So just explore it is all I'm asking. And you're ahead of me as you should be. I haven't seen the plans for the C-Store. Okay. All right. Any other questions? I have a question. Yes. Steve, do you know when Solzman's trace is going to connect to Spur Road? Maybe that's a question for us. We've already approved infrastructure plans for that connection, so it's forthcoming. Do we have a conference? No. Mr. Barlow may know that. Thank you. All right, any other questions? All right, thank you. Any public comment? Could you come forward, please? I'm a representative of GB2, which is the adjacent property owner. And we are in discussions with them right now to have the layout flipped. But for this plan, we would object to it and request a 30-day postponement so that we can work things out. We have recommended three different proposals, and they've indicated that they are open to it. We just want to make sure that we have time to create and develop something that is harmonious for all of the property owners in the area. We are not opposed to the development itself. We just would like it to be flipped. And so at this point, we are objecting and requesting a 30-day postponement. Could you state your name? Jennifer. Haran. Okay. With that, where are we? I'll make a motion. Hearing the information we've heard today and with what needs to be done, if it is to be flipped, I am recommending a motion for approval for PLNMJDP 24-21 Ramsey Sullivan property with the 15 staff recommendations. On the back. 19 staff recommendations, thank you. Changing 18 to denote and 19 to resolve. Yes, please. 18 and 19 to denote and resolve. Okay, we have a motion on the floor. Second. It's been properly seconded. Any questions to the motion? I would just like to ask if the applicant is unwilling to grant the 30-day postponement. Yeah. I just want to get it out. we'd like to make that decision over the next week ourselves maybe and figure out if we can work something out with our neighbor and then if we get to the Planning Commission decide that we need more time we'll pull it from the agenda at that point but we think we have we have a workable plan for us right now this plan meets all the conditions of the planning and zoning requirements for the ordinance so we could move forward theoretically just as it is right now so we'd like to go ahead and do that and preserve that option thank you okay any additional questions to the motion if not all in favor thank you very much and moving on to page six in the middle madam chairman members of the committee we are at major development plan 24 dash 22 the givens property out lot number three we've seen a lot this is this is uh i made this comment technical i'll share it with you this place has been hopping they've been really moving forward with all the outlot development ever since Publix came in and said they were going there. So here we are. Georgetown, Citation, Remington. Here is, of course, access into the shopping center, the interior access easements. This is the access off Georgetown Road, you recall, is a three-way modified entrance that generated a lot of discussion. We have had Valvoline here, a bank. That plan is in for certification now. Here's the car wash. Here's the dental office. That plan has been certified. And here we have the proposal, which is for a drive-through single-story restaurant with a patio in the rear. You can see the single drive-through coming through here. They do have a bypass lane, it appears. Bike racks, connections going out to the access easement that serves as the frontage of the property. The interesting aspect of this, and again, it's the final development plan. It, too, is the plan that will be going to the next Royal Springs Aquifer Committee. So we'll have several plans to take forward to them. They have their standard sign-offs. They need to provide an exhibit complying with Article 20. It appears they can meet Article 20 with the open space. However, it's a long, narrow lot. You see the parking and the drive-through. We want an exhibit that absolutely clarifies that they're meeting. Of course, the patio is helpful. But, again, because of the configuration of the lot, we need an exhibit to demonstrate that. They need to denote the development of lots 9 and 10. I just touched on those for you. as those plans get certified, whoever's coming after has to add that certified information to their plan so that the final plan certified's got everything on it that needs to be on it so it can all move forward. We had one discussion item. The original plan showed, this is lot three, out parcel three, it showed a little square lot kind of down in this area. That's what it showed. So they're changing this proposed lot size. Now, the impact is here's the regional detention basin. This is what serves most of the development in terms of detention. You all may recall every time we've had one of these outlots come through, one of the things that we've talked about and had them address is the status of the public improvements. Sanitary sewers are in. It is staff's understanding. The sanitary service are now in. So, again, the developer, as you all know, bring in a development. They submit construction plans, grading plans. So, generally, this basin would be designed. So there should be, and Vaughn could elaborate on this if she feels the need to, but that's the question is what's the status of that reconfiguration. It's going to have to meet. That's a given. But, again, it's an issue more of timing and what is the status of those infrastructure plans, constructions on the site, and the implications for this particular development. Single-story restaurant, single drive-thru, we can't figure this one out. A lot of times we can figure them out and who it is, but we don't know who this is. They're probably not telling. but with that be happy to answer any questions you may have for staff any questions for staff okay applicants Hello, I'm Pat Deming with CMW and I'm here to answer any questions you might have and approval for lot three of a new restaurant on lot three of the gibbons property any hints on what restaurant it is i'm not sure if i'm allowed to tell you that okay i think most of the infrastructure is already in i know you're getting ready to record some flats for sanitary sewer easements things like that what is the status of the detention pond currently and then are you prepared to amend that for this adjustment yeah i believe we'd have to you know with the infrastructure plans we'd have to show the grading for the new for the basin make sure the storm water works out i don't to my knowledge that hasn't hasn't occurred yet but that would be part of the the infrastructure plans we would do. And what that means is Vaughn's not going to sign off on certification as planned until she has seen what she needs to see. Okay? Alright. Any questions for the applicant? We can change 17 to resolve. All right, thank you. Thank you. Any public comment? All right, not seeing any. We're back to committee. Madam Chair, I would like to move for approval of PLN MJDP 2422 Gibbons property, property outlaw three, with the 17 conditions on changing number 17 to resolve. Second. All right. We move and second. Any question of motion? All in favor? Aye. Be unanimous. The talk on the street is that could be a Chipotle, by the way. That's the other one. They don't like to admit, but we've heard two. The second one, is that? Oh, that's coming in. Ah, there you go. Moving right along to the bottom of page 6, Major Development Plan 24-23, the DeLong Edition Habitat for Humanity at 7th and Maple. You all just saw a zone change on this property that utilized a preliminary subdivision plan because these townhouses will be subdivided and sold to the individual owners per Habitat Humanities normal program. They have come back in again. Here's Maple, 7th Street. Here are the townhouses. Let's see. Oh, there we go. They have rear access off Foster Alley. They have large stoops themselves out on the front of the townhouses, as you can see along Maple Street. This unit is orienting itself to East 7th Street. These are all part of some of our requirements for a place builder, as well as Article 15 that governs infill development, that habitats actually become very adept at addressing those types of elements in the infill and redevelopment. Again, with access, you see driveways. There's open space at the rear of the units. access, of course, into the units as well as the front doors, they have come back to you with a final development plan because they want to utilize the reduced setback that is allowed them in the R1T. However, and that's in the infield and redevelopment area, they have to put that on a development plan, and they did not. They utilized a preliminary subdivision plan. So they had to meet the more restrictive setback. But by coming to the Planning Commission and getting approval on a final development plan, then they can avail themselves of that reduced setback under the ordinance. That's the sole reason that they are here. And, by the way, this plan will have a note on it that says that if the property owner wants to modify their property, and they won't need to amend the final development plan as long as they follow the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Like we talked about before on townhouse developments, that one will be on this plan as well. With that, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Questions for staff? All right, applicant. Thank you, Tom. I'm Katie Beard with Prime. I'm representing the Habitat for Humanity in Lexington. Again, pretty straightforward. Seven attached townhomes on individual lots, so there'll be a record plat at the end of this process. We agree to comply with all the conditions. The building height, I found out, is 30 feet max, and the applicant is okay with revising the driveway width to 10 feet to match that front building setback. So we'll make a couple of revisions before this is presented at the Planning Commission next week. Other than that, any questions, I'll be happy to answer. Any questions for the applicant? Thank you. Thank you. Any public comment? All right, back to the committee. Madam Chair, I'd like to move for approval of PLN and JDP 2423 DeLong addition with the 15 conditions. No, I'm on the run. Ten. We've got revised. Okay, I'm sorry. Ten, with the ten conditions, revised conditions. Second. Go for it. All right, move the second. Any questions to the motion? All in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. All right. Any opposed? As a side note, I would like to share with the committee a recent discussion with this particular developer or developer with their representatives. Habitat is becoming concerned that they don't have enough property left in our community to institute their program. So that's just something as a community we need to be aware of and think about. And you all, of course, the fact that you're here shows that you care and that you're interested and you could very well be involved in efforts to, again, to help address issues like that. What's next? Thank you. Oh, you know what? I remember this one. I remember this one. Okay. Oh, look at that cute little fella. So we are out again, as I said. This is Coventry. This is a cross citation from the public site. The given site that you just saw. It's up on Remington. here's Remington runs out through here and this is a zoning plan it's a preliminary development plan for a large apartment complex again as you can see they are proposing access from Huntley Place into the interior the center of the property as well as access here and here off of Gatton Way Gatton Way the Gatton Trust See, they own Tuscany. They also own this area out here, the good old Gatton Trust. So, again, off Gattonway. You can see the location of the apartments in the area, and they've got parking. They've got a considerable amount of parking. They are not particularly over-parked, in staff's estimation, based on the large number of units being proposed. That number has escaped me momentarily. Here's a nice close-up of the picture. Again, these buildings are all virtually identical that they are proposing, unlike some that you see where they have varying building sizes due to bedroom sizes or number of bedrooms, that sort of thing. Here we have tree protection areas that they've already identified. These are burr oaks, and they are exceedingly large and very nice burr oaks. Our urban forester has been out there and seen them and looked at them and is quite impressed with them, and we appreciate their efforts with those. There was some discussion at Technical about additional protection, if it's possible, something we've asked the applicant to look into. He says there are other trees on that site. There's other burr oaks. There's also some other species out there of considerable size. And again, at times, as we know, can be a difficult tradeoff in trying to effectively develop a site, achieve density, and also protect some of its natural attributes. But again, they are proposing these nice big open space areas around those burr oaks. This is a dog park. and again this was reviewed by your technical committee and it's a preliminary development plan you will see a final should this zone change to r4 be approved it's right now p1 we have pretty standard preliminary plans sign-offs denote no building permits until a final development plan they need to clarify their setback and utility easement lines it's like we discussed before on that Tuscany plan, it's line weight. It's clarification to be sure where things are, that they're clearly visible on the plan. They need to clarify their meets and bounds along Gatton Way. Again, this is just when they draft and these things get printed out, they're on the computer, you see where they're kind of on top of each other and that sort of thing. It's hard to read. And then possibly there's some may be missing. We need to have that clarified. They need to dimension their pool and deck areas, dimension the dog park, and then there's a note on the final record plat that we have a discussion item. It's actually a resolution item on the final development plan, but the note in and of itself is significant enough that we just wanted to highlight it, make sure they were aware of it, And it addresses Gatton Way and the construction of Gatton Way and the timing of that construction of Gatton Way. Because Gatton Way right now is basically built up to this access point to the industrial user to the north. With this plan, it's going to have to be completed. And that plat note addresses that and places some restrictions on these properties to ensure that Gatton Way would be constructed. It stubs into Coldstream. Park, by the way, is where it goes. So we wanted that on there. And with that, our esteemed zoning planner, Daniel Crum, would like to discuss Place Builder with you, because this is a nice, big apartment development. It's nice to know I'm esteemed. Morning, everyone. Daniel Crum, planning staff. With respect to the zone change that we'll be talking about this afternoon, the applicants have seeked to place this in a new complete neighborhood. We're really talking about an area that's just sort of starting to develop. So this is sort of a greenfield development. We've got upcoming commercial opportunities that are kind of occurring in this corridor, additional residential that's coming down the line. So they're seeking to kind of place it within that context. Staff agrees that that's appropriate. As far as the type and intensity of development, four stories, You're looking at a medium-high residential. The comp plan and the place builder recommend it for that place type and development type. As far as public engagement, the applicant in their letter of justification talked that they had planned some discussions with the condominiums further south on that shared property line as well as with the industrial users on the opposite side of Gatton Way. They haven't provided any information on how those conversations have gone, so the applicant should provide some more information. But other than that, this area is sort of largely in the process of developing. So staff's in agreement with the kind of the framework they're using, and we'll be talking about it in a little bit more detail later on this afternoon. But any questions about that, I'd be happy to take. Any questions? Thank you. Thank you. All right, applicant. I'm Tony Barrett here on behalf of Denton Floyd the developer proposing the apartments and I really don't have any more to add there was a conversation about the trees and maybe I should discuss that there are there's a which one of these dry. This is a, well let's start with this one, this is the most significant tree on the site and it is quite significant. It's out in the open field and it's It's a 75 inch diameter breast height, so it's big and it's in good shape. It's really a sculptural piece on the site. The second bur oak that we're saving is this tree here. It's a 62 inch tree, so it's bigger than I am tall. or not quite but you get the idea so there are other burroaks in this fence row there's there well there's a third bigger burroak in this location that when we met with Eric Sutherland the urban forester he agreed that it its life cycle had kind of seen better days. So it had been falling and collapsing on itself. There are three smaller, albeit not small, bur oaks in this fence row that we're proposing to take down and focus on these two more significant trees and really highlight them, make a good effort to protect and preserve and highlight them. As you can see, we've created significant open areas around them, have the units, have kind of as using them as the centerpiece in the development with kind of creating a quad around the tree in that case. This is our community center and pool and pretty significant amenity that trying to create relationships so that we have the living units, the trees, and the amenity elements all kind of working together to create a unified community. And with this tree row, it's just kind of inconveniently placed where to kind of meet the intent of fronting on the street where we've got the community center at the entrance here, this unit on top fronting Gatton Way, getting access between parking not on the street. I kind of came to the conclusion myself to sacrifice those trees for the better of the whole product. So that was kind of the evolution of how I came to the decision to take full advantage of these two most significant trees on the site and let the plan work around those. So that was kind of the crux of the process that we took. And then using those two elements as a strong element of the plan with kind of the spine road with a strong pedestrian connection coming down to the trees. and then another kind of secondary through that open space and making strong pedestrian connections through the development and also kind of connecting the dots, if you would, from the community center, the trees, and the dog park in the back. And there's a car wash, other amenity-type facility at the bottom right there. So kind of tying all those together. So that was kind of the process we went through in developing the plan. And Tom mentioned the unit mix. We have the buildings are a mix within themselves. There's one, two, and three bedrooms within each building. How many units are you adding there? Three? Two? 280, okay. How many parking spaces? One and a half per unit, so 280 times one and a half, so 440. Good question. Tony, how are you? I'm good, thank you. Curious about, I appreciate what you're doing as far as the burroaks. haven't been involved with this on the farm and construction of house and it seems like anytime at least with me they burr oaks were a magnet for people wanting to park underneath them wanting to do anything you know yeah they really do but I don't know might not be a question really for you Are there any plans to put up temporary construction fence or anything to keep construction traffic away from them? Yeah, when we do the site development plans, we'll have to create a tree protection plan within itself that will delineate fencing around the trees. That's a requirement. And their signage that's associated with it. Yeah, believe me, I've dealt with it before, and I've run many people out from underneath those trees, bulldozers and everything. Oh, good place to park, you know. Thanks. With regard to the Note 7, and I appreciate Tom bringing that up about the timing of the extension of Gatton Way. I think that note was originally anticipated that the developer overall would build that road and then sell this lot afterwards, and that's just not the way it's evolved. So I anticipate that at the time, which I guess is final development plan, we would request that that note be amended, or I guess maybe we have to amend the development, the plat itself. I think it would be a matter of resolving that note relative to the actual development of the property and extension of Gatton Way. I think we'll want to build the road concurrent with the development of the site. and we could probably hold occupancy or whatever to the dedication of the road. Because it's going to be a grading effort to build the road and develop the site. It's an interesting side bit that doesn't impact the planning commission and this committee at all. I got a call from an engineering firm about the extension of Gatton Way and that plat. And so I took a look at it, and I noticed that note. That plat has a temporary construction easement on the properties, on the northern property to allow construction of that road. And they relayed to me, and so this is secondhand information, take it for what it's worth, that the industrial owner of the property to the north was of the opinion that that easement didn't exist any longer, which, of course, you know, the Platte says what it says was my response. Let the lawyers figure it out. And my quick review of the note is that the easement exists until Gatton Road is built. I would agree. Which is the intent of the note. Right. It's a temporary construction easement. We use them all the time, and they go away once the construction is complete. Any other questions for the applicant? Thank you. Thank you. All right. Any public comments? Being none, bring it back to the committee. Madam Chair, I move for approval of PLNMJDP 2418 Coventry. lot 6 with the attached 14 conditions. Second. Alright, it's been moving second. Any questions to the motion? All in favor? All right. All right, unanimous. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, members of the committee, we're moving to your postponed items on your agenda. and under your postponed and continued items there are several but the one we're going to we received a small revision to the plan along with a waiver request and that would be item a under preliminary subdivision plans 24-1 Quintana estates So, you may recall previous discussion, this is a plan for 40 buildable lots out on a piece of property that is located just off of Paris Pike across from, oops, let me get, Paris Pike. I was looking at the railroad, I got to thinking about the railroad. And, well, the property is oriented, the top is oriented to the south and not the north, so that'll throw you if you're used to having oriented the other way. But here we have Parris Pike, Kingston Road. They are proposing a right in, right out. Of course, you have medians along Parris Pike in this location. You can see the street system they're proposing, along with the central green space area. Detention here, detention at the rear, detention in the front. One of the revisions that you see is a walkway along the front, a pedestrian trail that not only will serve along the frontings with Parris Pike, but will come through and serve as access to the park. This is a new park. This was donated recently to the city. This area is with a park. This always starts at the end of meetings. I start having thumb problems or something. but one of the revisions that you see shows a stub street per the subregs into this property adjoining at this location. Here's an existing pond. I made a statement before that I thought it'd go away. I still think it will. They said, well, we don't know yet, but I think it'll go away. But the property is owned R1B. This is a preliminary subdivision plan. This is governed by your land subdivision regulations. This is a ministerial proposal. The several concerns that do exist on the plan, some are very practical, very technical, that have to be addressed. Stormwater management. Again, see, there we go. This is when it... There we go. It starts happening to me. No? All right. There we go. So, stormwater management. What old-fashioned are you? It's not like this. It's not like this. Bonnard knows all this. The stormwater on this property, and if you look at, and I didn't show you this one, but this one has a red line on it, and that red line is watersheds. This property drops in different directions. So the challenge here, and they're well aware of it, and their designers are well aware of it, that they're going to have to grade it in such a way to take the water to those detention basins, and then it'll go to wherever it's supposed to go after that. The plan I gave you, if you look at the yellow-orangey lines, and you see a bunch of them out along Parris Pike, and again, you're looking at $24.50, the lot. That's $24.50. Those are your stormwater facilities. Those are the public stormwater facilities. So they have access to stormwater. It's a technical problem. It's a design problem that they know they're going to have to address. It is manageable by all means. There are facilities in the area. Now, that leads us to the next discussion, which is sanitary sewer service. This one is a bigger challenge for this particular property. You may recall the apartments you just approved down by the curb, and they had a sanitary sewer challenge. They've got to go back under, you may recall, the railroad and old limestone to get to a pump station. Because, again, sanitary sewer out here doesn't exist everywhere. They're going to have to go a considerable distance. And if you look at what I showed you, if you go down, you look at all those little green lines with the green arrows. you see all the little green arrows that's sanitary sewer okay that's what that is so they're going to have to get there there is a line on here that's yellow that uh is not stormwater but you may recall the lexington country club many years ago put in their own dedicated line it's for them and them only so the the challenge and it's a considerable distance and a challenge for these developers. And there may be, and we're still under discussions with them, a waiver associated with the solution for the sanitary sewer. And that is because it's possible, again, you remember the watershed break I show you and the grading and the fact that it goes in different directions. We may be looking at a pump station. Well, there's a lot of concerns about private pump stations. You may again recall Liberty Road, the townhouses, and the discussion about that pump station. You heard a lot of detail about the capacity of that pump station for 14 townhouses. They no longer need that, by the way, because you saw the rest of that plan. But I don't want to digress. The point is that there is a sanitary sewer challenge here that they're well aware of that will need to be addressed. And we're anticipating there may be a waiver that goes along with that. And that will allow me to jump down to number 14. It says provided the Planning Commission grants the requested waiver for Article 6-8-D1. We do have a waiver request, and Mr. Nichols, this goes back to what I was telling you about the new requirements versus the old requirements, and that we're trying to implement one, and they requested a waiver from it the first time. This is the 60% frontage requirement under the subregs for a street along 60% of the frontage at a park or any other public facility. So we have this property that has come in with a single-family home development, large lots, 15,000 square feet, R1B. This is a park. This is private property. So from right here all the way down through here, 60% of that would be a street. They've requested a waiver of that requirement. And it's still under review and being talked with, and you're going to hear a full presentation on it. they are proposing access with the pedestrian system into the park they are showing some frontage again some frontage along with it but it's greatly reduced it's not 60 percent you can see just by looking at that that they're proposing a certain amount of it the detention is that area along with green space and again they are proposing pedestrian access into the park. So there is a waiver request for that particular requirement. First time we've ever had this requirement. Kind of an interesting situation. You've got some existing property already zoned, ability to be developed, and then just within the past year or so, we get a park. It's not like what we anticipate in the future as we expand and grow where we know where the parks are going to be, hopefully. And then the developer can come in and develop adjacent to those facilities. And I say parks, but it's other public facilities, it's schools and other things. And then that allows them a little bit better ability to adjust to that requirement and that 60% frontage requirement that is in your land subdivision regulations. So there is a waiver there. Now, that leads me back to the discussion about the buffering adjacent to Paris Pike. And we've talked with them about how they want to present this to Paris Pike, and they are proposing some buffering and landscaping and that sort of thing adjacent to Paris Pike. Similar to discussions we've had with other properties, we want to soften that line with Paris Pike and with landscaping and other features along Paris Pike. Of course, it's generally in a developer's best interest to do that because it just makes for a better, more attractive development. So they are showing a trail along the frontage. They've got green space through there. They have the ability. We've not really discussed specific details as to the exact buffering. That is something that would have to be resolved with this plan. And so, again, now that leads us to another discussion, and that is the recommendation of the Paris Pike Corridor Commission. And there's several things I'll make real clear. That's a recommendation. It's not codified in your subdivision regulations whatsoever. And this is a preliminary subdivision plan, and they're following the rules. The waiver they're going to need from those rules is the frontage that I already discussed with you. the 250 foot setback can be instituted from Johnson Road out because that's the overlay. That was where it was established. You all have heard over time and a lot of discussions out here talks about the interlocal agreement and frankly you've heard some misinformation and poor interpretations of that. The interlocal agreement set up the mechanism to establish that overlay and the overlay has been established and this area along with all the areas back into town they're in the urban service area they're intended to be developed they were intended to be developed under our rules and regulations so again there there is no force of law or anything it's just a recommendation they made And very important to note, the setback is ascetic. They've not made any argument. They've not made any justification for this setback for health and safety or welfare under the ordinance. None. It's strictly for looks. Well, it's been done once. It was done on a zone change back quite a few years ago when an R1B property next to the apartments went to R1D. Well, the cornerstone there was that back then the comprehensive plan had low density, medium density, high density land uses that had unit counts associated with them. And when that zone change went through, it was approved, but it went from low density to low density, so staff recommended a cap on the number of units on that property. They got a few more units, but still low density. that allowed staff then to just make a recommendation to kind of strengthen that condition of units by imposing a setback on that property no other property, apartments you saw didn't have that setback imposed on it Martin's Peterbilt didn't have a setback imposed on it none of those properties in fact have had that setback imposed on them it was envisioned back in the day to protect Paris Pike exactly where it starts, Johnston out. So we wanted to have that discussion with you so you could hear, we would say to you that this plan meets the subdivision requirements. They're asking for a 40 foot setback. That's what is required by ordinance. In fact They could come in there and build a house, one house at 40 feet off Parris Pike, and then come back with a plan and show a street and all this lotting, and you'd have it. There'd be a house at a 40-foot setback off Parris Pike. And they could come in and develop internally as they're doing here now. Staff has just had some concern that over the years, as we've seen a little more development in this area lately, that we want to make it clear to you exactly how it works and what it is in terms of our regulations and our ordinances and how it should function. Just like the Royal Springs Aquifer, that's a recommendation. We are not obligated to follow their recommendations. We do almost 100% of the time. That's based on protecting a water supply. okay that has a direct health and safety relationship this is not a situation like that so with that we wanted to have that discussion with you you're going to have this discussion that you're hearing no doubt but again just wanted to explain to you how this how this works and how your staff is viewing this under your regulations that are in force on this property in particular. Yes, ma'am. This may be for the applicant rather than for you, but in discussing plans along the corridor leading up to the protected area, it's been helpful to me, and I can't speak for anybody else, to see renderings of how that, can we, is there a rendering that goes with this so far, and can we request that a rendering be added to this? Yes, ma'am. We have not seen one as such, but I'm sure they would be happy to demonstrate to you their vision for their relationship with the right-of-way along Paris Pike. I don't think they would. I'm speaking for them, but I can't imagine they would mind doing that. You know, yeah, it's helpful. I think, again, because you're going to see some exhibits that address this waiver request, because it's a fairly significant waiver request relative to the park and that new regulation. So you're going to see some exhibits where they are going to seek to establish their justification for that waiver and the belief that they're meeting the spirit of the subdivision regulations. That's a preview of what's to come. Question real quick for Tom. You were talking about the Paris Pike Corridor Commission and their recommendation. Have they even made any recommendations yet? They made a recommendation of a 250-foot setback on this property. Okay. All right, then. And this is a preliminary subdivision plan? It is a preliminary subdivision plan, which will allow the construction of the public infrastructure and then come back with a final record plan. They can dedicate that infrastructure and build on these lots. Is it something that, you know, I think we should recognize, you know, at least recognize the wishes? is it something to resolve a final development plan? There will be no final development plan. This is a preliminary subdivision plan. It's under your land subdivision regulations, which again, Mr. Owens, is a ministerial action. Okay, never mind. Thank you. Are the streets still proposed to be private? Pardon? Private streets? I think we're still discussing that. I don't know if they've indicated whether it's going to be private. If it's private, it's going to be built to our standards. So they could dedicate them as public or they could keep them as private. That changes the status a little bit in terms of the infrastructure plan off of this plan. Because they won't be dedicating any public infrastructure in that sense. Interesting question. anything else are you wanting an exhibit of the buffering or are you wanting an exhibit that shows where the paris pike actual overlay is in relation to this property no i like to see the buffering i like to know what people are what we expect people are going to see as they leave and go out the corridor transitioning into. Okay. Yeah, there will be arterial buffering just across the site in general. So to town side, I've got agricultural use, so I have screening and buffering for them. Railroads in the back have their own requirements. Arterial road in the front has its own requirements. So, yeah, there's a lot of different layers that will be placed around the edges here. I will say first off that there's 54 single-family lots. These are R1Bs. I don't think I've had R1B lots in 15 years. These are pretty unique lots sizes to have in Lexington, some we don't see very often. I believe we wanted them to be private streets, give it a unique and private feel as it will be so special. the one thing I'll say about the waiver is that we have a letter of support from the parks and rec the owners met with them asked them what they wanted and they were wanting a pedestrian access so we've got them on a 10-foot walking trail along the frontage with Parris Pike and then it comes down the side property line and ties in to the park property the street system designed by the park. It's just widened. It's all the trails. It just curls in and ties into the park property. It just went into the rent and interval to the street so that this cars park should use the park. The sidewalk's right there for easy access for everyone. And it's, the waiver is going to be that discussion of the frontage, 60%. You can't necessarily build the road on that shared property line without getting over onto them. There would be an HOA lot or some space between where you can construct your road because of all the grading and such that would go into there and what you could actually do on the adjacent property. If we were to build the road through this area next to the park, you can see in the middle there, we've got a large HOA area and detention basin. That's the low spot. If we were putting a road through there, the grading and such along the park property, we'd have to bring up a lot of dirt. That widens your area of development, and you're not necessarily having the road truly adjacent to the park property line, just because you can't get over on their site without agreements. So I believe there would always be some sort of green space next to them, and that's what we're showing here. We do have the detention basins in three different areas as the high point splits the property. Anything else you'd like to add? Chris Clendenin for the applicant. There's a little pointy thing, this one. Top one. Top one. As Tom and Roy mentioned, we've got the trail coming down here with entrance and access to the park, and we feel that the waiver is justified because the way that this design is done, as Tom mentioned, there's some challenges, and Roy kind of alluded to, with the topography and things like that. If we were to have to put the road in, we'd be cutting out this portion here, and then probably reducing the actual basin. This thing's designed the way that it is to take advantage of the topography, so the stormwater runoff goes into here. But more importantly, in terms of meeting the spirit of the regulations for the 60%, This path goes here and what you end up having here as a result of using this unique design is a single loaded street where you get people able to see green space while they're walking on this street instead of down here. They're using this pathway and sidewalk that continues from the trail all the way around this way. So if you measured all of this, it equals to or probably exceeds a street along this side. So I think it's a very unique design which is part of the basis for granting a waiver. And I would hate for us to have to screw up Rory's really cool design. It's very nice. But again, this is the trailway and then it goes to the access to the park and then turns into a five foot sidewalk and then it's green space all the way around this and all the way around this HOA land where that detention basin is. So I hope that helps explain the waiver. As far as the commission issue, the setback request, I know that the applicant met with them, and I know why they're requesting that. But as Mr. Martin said, you know, this land is not part of that overlay, and so we're meeting the requirement in the subdivision regulations, which is a 40-foot setback. That's really all we're required to do. And I think that the goal here would be that there will be some very nice and extensive buffering within that 40-foot setback, which I'm sure that will provide a nice exhibit for you. Does anyone have any other questions? I do have a question. As we're fronting Paris Pike, is that a 10-foot pedestrian or multimodal path along old Paris Pike? Yes. Yes, it's a 10-foot wide path that comes down to, it starts, Roy, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it starts up in here. At the property line. Okay, at the property line. Goes all the way around Paris Pike. Comes in through here. and when it gets to this point here, which is the entrance to the park, it accesses, it turns into a five-foot sidewalk. Okay, and what was the requirement? Because this looks like it's above and beyond the requirements of the subdivision regulations. It wasn't required. It was a request from the Parks Department that we do this. They asked us just to do it because it would lead to a better access and ingress into the park and something that they wanted. So we decided to grant the request. It looked... Right. requirements trying to do some sort of or something as well to help put up a buffer there. The house is at the road itself, so you may see some soil buildup and trees going up with the trail down closer to green. The reason I'm pointing that out is that that is an improvement that is being made, I guess, as a part of this waiver request. So there are improvements being made that do allow for a better increased in width pedestrian access to those that are living closer to town to get to the park. So, yes, that's an improvement I think that should be pointed out. And I'm happy to do so. Thank you. We appreciate that. Any other questions? Questions for the applicant? Thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. Looks like we don't have any public comment. So we're back to committee. Madam Chair, if you're ready. I'm okay with making a motion. I would like to, I think, also note when they were talking about the walkway and the park and so forth, Rory kind of mentioned in that one corner where the park is, I believe that there is a house that's deeded separately, not part of the park. So you're actually going down your property line to get into the, to provide access to the park as well. So, Madam Chair, I'll move for recommendation approval plan, MJSUB 24-1, Quintana Estates, with the 14 recommendations, changing number 13 to resolve recommendation of Parish Pike Quarter Commission. Just noting that it is just a recommendation. Second. All right, move and second. Any questions to that motion? All in favor? Aye. Unanimous. Thank you. We received a revised plan on Dick's zone change. Was your intent to have it presented? No. Okay. Yes. Oh, okay. All right. So, ladies and gentlemen of the committee, under your zoning development plans you have a postponed item it's a major development plan 23-3 Kidwell and Otis property and we did receive a revised plan on this property and as Tony said he'd like to share that with you Huh? You like the possum? Okay, this is the revised plan for the property located off of Gulfview Drive. Gulfview Drive and Garrison. Harrodsburg Road is up along the top. This is way back in the back. is at the back corner of the Pimlico, Pim, Picadome. God, I'm sorry. I'm just, Picadome Golf Course kind of wraps around this, this being at the back end of the neighborhood. This is a zone change. They're asking for R1T. when they first came in they had several townhomes going across the front this all being developed in townhomes but they've come back they still are asking for the R1T zone but they're coming back keeping the existing two homes one on either side and then just proposing three townhomes in the center there was some concerns there's a floodplain that runs along the back portion of this property and then we have the 25 foot setback and that was kind of part of the concern because the townhomes they proposed had a driveway that came around the back so then the parking would have been along the back side here and so they've come in with this revised plan should the council approve the R1-2 zone change where you or them approve it. Then we have engineering traffic, urban forester, green space, environmental quality. Provide the Planning Commission grants a waiver or grants a variance to the floodplain setback. As I said they have a 25-foot setback and the proposal this dwelling is still with inside that setback so they're asking for it to be reduced from 25 feet down and then discuss we had discussed the nonconforming status of the remaining single family homes that are currently on the property and then the less question is discuss place builder criteria and I don't know if Daniel wants to have anything to say about this or Okay. I still have a question. I remember the last time we heard this, you talked about alternatives construction that would be not in the floodplain, but like an overhang. Has any of that been factored into this revision? Okay. Did you want to? Yeah, I can touch on it, at least on the zoning side of things. So, yeah, so the plan, I believe, still features those cantilever decks, which solves a lot of the issues on sort of the construction side and the practicality of it. However, the way the zoning ordinance treats projections, we still have to treat that as a part of the principal structure as far as setbacks, even though at, you know, 12 feet or higher off of the ground, it's never, you know, going to be in that issue. So we still have to factor in the variance for those. so that I believe that's something that's still being provided there but a lot of the stuff that we'll talk about this afternoon as far as you know getting development away from the floodplain reducing the amount of impervious surface you know reducing some of the conflict points I think this plan does kind of a lot of that so we'll talk about some of that at zoning even though we don't have a formal recommendation from that at this time but yeah so they're still having to factor in for the technical side on the variants, but otherwise it's going to be up off of the ground. Yeah, I think Daniel kind of summed that up, but yeah, what he said. Right now there are two existing garages right here, but it's two lots, and these are the existing houses. So, we're proposing to keep the two houses intact. two garages, two detached garages here that the owner has basically been using for his own storage. So he's planning to take the garages down and infill those with the three townhouses. We've reduced the request of the waiver of the floodplain setback. Prior we had a five-foot setback when the decks came all the way across. We had the pinch point right there, so that eliminates that narrowness. And so we've reduced the ask from 5 feet to 15 feet. So it's from 25 feet set back to 15 feet where it was 25 to 5. So it's hard to explain that without going through the whole thing. I mean, it's a reduction of the production. So, yeah, there's no, and this was all parking in the back. in a dumpster so now with the fewer units we've been able to eliminate the dumpster and eliminate the parking and just use the roll cards any other questions for the applicant all right no public comment all right back to committee Motion. We need action. Would it be helpful? You can act on it if you would like. Staff has reviewed it and recommended approval, but, I mean, you're not obligated, I don't believe, to act on it if you don't want to. Oh, what the heck. Madam Chair, I'll move for recommendation of approval, Plan MJTP 24-5 Kidwell Otis property within nine conditions. Second. All right, so when motion is second, any questions, all in favor? Aye. Unanimous. And I think that's all for today. That's all, huh? Okay. Okay. Great. Thank you. We're good. Thank you. Anyway, you don't already know how to go. And I got a peaceful, easy feeling. And I know you won't let me down. Cause I'm already standing on the ground Thank you. I get this feeling I may know you As a lover and a friend But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear Tells me I may never see you again Cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling And I know you won't let me down Cause I'm already standing I'm already standing Yes, I'm already standing on the ground I'm out.

I'm 9th District Council Member Whitney Elliott Baxter, and today I am joined by our Fayette County Clerk, Susan Lamb. Thanks for joining me. Thank you for having me. Of course. So there's a lot of really exciting things happening in the County Clerk's Office, and I just wanted to share it with the public so that everybody kind of knew what was going on. Well, thank you. Yeah, so recently we had a presentation, the Council had a presentation on something called the Digital Access Project. Can you tell me a little bit about that? Sure, sure. It is a very unique opportunity that we are actually collaborating with the University of Kentucky, and we have lots of students and also community partners that they're going back in the records, and they are actually looking at a lot of information and trying to catalog it, and it really is, it has a lot of important information about genealogy and, you know, slaves and different contexts. It's really interesting. It's very important to go to our website and to be able to look at this. And you mentioned the project, the presentation yesterday. It was outstanding as well. It's going to be able to give you much more depth of information. I actually had an opportunity to go and look at the scanners they were using to scan these massive historical records. And it's just such a cool project and really a great opportunity for our community to research their past and the history of Lexington. So thank you for being involved in that project. Absolutely, yes. And it actually has connected us to other countries as well where people have their beginnings in Kentucky. And so it's actually going to build many more bridges than we can even talk about today for the future of our community. That's awesome. I really am super excited about that project, and we'll link more information as well. So we have a new vehicle registration system, and it's replaced something that's been around for a very long time. Can you talk to me a little bit about the CAVIS system and why we switched and the benefits to the community? Sure, sure, absolutely. So the CAVIS system, and CAVIS stands for the Kentucky Automated Vehicle Information System, and while we had the former system was called AVIS, and it was installed in, like, 1979, And anybody that looks at technology from 1979 and think that we're still in 2024 now and it was still functioning was just purely a miracle. So as you can imagine, the system had to be replaced. Well, it took probably about 20 years to actually figure out how to transition 350 million records in the state of Kentucky. Lexington County actually has over 212,000 vehicles in our system, in the system. So they basically had to go in and create a system, and this is a more customer-centric system. Eventually it will be that way. Right now it has been a little bit of a rough patch. As you can imagine, you move over 350 million records into a new system, There are going to be glitches. There's going to be bugs. Some people's addresses didn't translate. There were insurance, proof of insurance verifications. They didn't translate. There have been numerous things. The first three weeks here in our office, there were lots of things that we weren't able to provide to our customers. So luckily, over time and a lot of collaboration with Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and those of the CAVIS team, We have actually been able to move past a lot of bugs and glitches, and we actually are seeing a new normal, thank goodness, with less lines and less stressed people to be able to get their registration renewals. The other thing that we did during this time, because we had to shut down for two weeks at the end of December and the first part of January, So we actually as a state have actually taken and removed the penalties and interest for both December renewals and January renewals because we had such complications with the system that we felt like it was only fair that if you were a December renewal or a January renewal that you would not be penalized because of a new system. That was really nice of you. It has truly been a difficult situation, and I have used the word patience a lot more than I've ever in my entire life. And we still continue to ask people to have patience. We still in Fayette County, we're about 13 days behind with our dealer work and our mail-in, typically in our office. Before we transitioned into this new system, if you mailed in or you did a web renewal, you would usually get your motor vehicle registration back in the mail within seven days. It's taking a little bit longer right now, but eventually we're going to be back into the new normal and we'll be back on schedule. But it's probably going to take us through about March to be able to get back to the new normal. Okay. Does this new system... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh The beat is on. Oh, oh, oh, oh, caught up in the action. I'm looking out for you.

Behind the doors, it's a wild ride. You can make a break. You can win or lose. That's a chance you take. When the heat's on you. When the heat is on. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, caught up in the action I'll be looking out for you Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, tell me, can you feel it? Tell me, can you feel it? Tell me, can you feel it? The heat is on Yeah! The heat is on The heat is on Burning, burning, burning It's on the street The heat is on, I can feel the fire The heat is on, all the flames are burning high The heat is on, baby, can't you feel it? It's on the street The heat is on, I can feel the fire The heat is on, all the flames are burning high Don't wish it away Don't look at it Like it's forever Between you and me I could honestly say That things can only get better And while I'm away Dust out the demons inside And it won't be long Before you and me run To the place in our hearts Where we hide And I guess that's why they're calling the blues Time on my hands, put me tapping with you Learning like children, living like lovers Rolling like thunder under the covers And I guess that's why they call it the blue Just staring to space Picture my face in your hands Live for each second Without hesitation And never forget I'm your man Wait on me girl Cry in the night if it helps More than hell I simply love you More than I love Life itself And I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands, will be time spent with you Loving like children, living like lovers Rolling like thunder, under the covers And I guess that's what they call it the blues Thank you. Hey, First District. It's Council Member Fogle, your favorite councilwoman. I'm coming to you this month and so excited with Principal Jacobs of LTMS. He is our guest. Wait till you see the connection between the middle school and the community. Yes, we bring it sexy back and we bring it back through our students and through the efforts of our community. Thank you for being a great community, especially out East End and the rest of the first district. I'll see you soon. Principal Jacobs is next. Thank you. Hello, East End Lexington, District 1. Thank you for the honor to be here today. My name is Brian Jacobs. I am the proud, proud principal of Lexington Traditional Magnet School, LTMS, located in the heart of East End Lexington, Kentucky. I want to thank Council Member Fogel for giving me the opportunity here today to do what I do best, which is talk about all the things I love about our great school and our beautiful community that we serve. So really exciting work happening at LTMS as our school goes through transformation and we are leveraging some of the strengths of East End Lexington particularly as it relates to the arts community to enrich the experiences our students receive when they're in our building but to also grow our scholars to be civically engaged culturally responsive and just really great leaders in the city of Lexington One of my favorite parts about our school is the relationship that we have with East End Lexington. And we really try to leverage that to create an experience for our students that really connects them to the history and the culture of that community. We think there's tremendous strength and tremendous diversity located in the heart of this community. And what better way for our students to learn and engage than to be part of the East End community? Recently, we just applied for and are pleased to announce that we were awarded the largest grant ever awarded to an individual school in Fayette County history. Our scholars at LTMS will be the beneficiaries of over a million dollars in federal funds that we are going to use to re-engage Easton Lexington in the work that occurs in our school. We're going to celebrate the arts and we're also going to give our students an experience that is unique to our community and that they can't get anywhere else. So I want to thank Councilmember Fogle for all the support, all the love. Anytime we need Ms. Fogle, she's there. She's a better dancer than me. She said she's bringing Sexy back. I don't know if I can rise to that level, but I know Councilmember Fogle is going to deliver. So, thank you Lexington. Hope you'll stay tuned and watch the video that's going to showcase the amazing work our scholars, our teachers, and the amazing staff do in our building every single day. Also want to thank my partner and friend who lent his voice to this video, Frank X. Walker at the University of Kentucky. Thank you for your contributions to East End Lexington and just your love for our community. Hopefully, if you stay to watch, you'll see that love not just in Frank's words and voice, but in the eyes, actions of the staff and community members that are in this video. Lots of love in it. Hopefully, you'll stay and watch the whole thing. Thank you, Lexington. I see your East End with your historic homes and Deweese Street pride, strutting from Brewstown to Brick City, from Gunntown to Goodlow Town. Your stained glass churches and neighborhood schools all jockeying for position with your mean streets reputation and your sometimes racy past. Beneath the fresh baked aroma of pastries and donuts, I smell your peanuts roasting, your tire marks from the burning rubber of King Cobras nesting on gear change away from where Isaac Murphy once slept. I hear the trains hustling through, commuter traffic and sirens racing by, the occasional searching copter overhead. You are our mid-land, you are the body but not the waste. Between the feet of downtown and the big round head of New Circle Road, always a park full of family reunions, forever a beacon for the children you birthed. A refuge for those this town would reject. You are downtown Lexington's whole left ventricle. When the last shotgun house is gone, you will still be her heart. When I think about the East End Lexington community, what comes to my mind is always community, children, play, safety. I think about my moments right here in this school. I am a graduate of Lexington Junior Black Cats, which is now Lexington traditional school here in the East Side. And I am so excited to be back in this school. I know when the new administration came into the school a couple of years ago, they had their staff, the first staff meeting at the Lyric. So I think that blended a lot of elements. I think it blended, it got outside of the school building, went into the community, into one of the historic art facilities that we have in the East End, and I think it helped to bridge the gap between the community and the school. What I love most about LTMS is the students, the community partners, the dedicated parents, staff, administration. These students are talented, goal-oriented, bright, and I know that we're supposed to be teaching them, but they teach us. We're all going together. Every day, people stop me in the community and talk about their connection and relationships to our school. Some of the stories that those folks share date all the way back to Lexington Junior High days. And I'm amazed by just how much pride East End Lexington has in our school. One of the things that's wonderful about the East End is their connection to the arts in our community. It really is the cultural center of Lexington, Kentucky. And within walking distance of our school, we have community partners like Trans University, Lyric Theater, the Lexington Living Arts and Science Center, the Lexington Children's Theater, the Opera House, so many resources that work with us to support our students and just enrich the experiences that our students get in this building every single day. We also think it's really, really important that we create avenues and opportunities for expression that allows students to organize, to express themselves emotionally, that allow themselves to process information in the world around them. And what better vehicle to do that than through the arts? The arts are critical for students. It doesn't matter where you are, it's just a foundation of education. There's so many studies that show learning an instrument not only increases your brain size, but it does so much for your schooling and the other core subjects that it's critical that students learn these basic foundations and it's part of our culture, it's part about being human, that it is essential to a kid's education. VAPA, that is visual performing arts, so that is all inclusive. Visual arts is the art you can make with your hands, drawing, painting, clay, whatever it is the performing arts is dance and choir and orchestra, band. It is all encompassing all those different kinds of arts and it's just critical to being human and part of education. They do nine weeks of drama, nine weeks of dance, nine weeks of general music, and nine weeks of visual arts. Particularly middle school feels like the most untapped and the most sometimes neglected in terms of getting the arts exposure unless they've already had it as a child, but if that's not something that your family can afford, it's not available. And we want to make arts accessible to everyone because benefits are huge, of course. So VAPA means to me, of course, visual and performing arts, but it's more than that. At this school, we are really focusing hard on making that an importance in your everyday classes, even into your core classes. So you're getting VAPA, in a sense, in your electives, but you're also getting them in in the way that you learn social studies, in the way that you learn math and science and English. And that is something that is different that not other schools are doing. I think that the arts are going to benefit me when I grow older by expanding my knowledge and knowing more stuff that can help me in my daily life. I want to show my dramatic side in dance and drama helps me do that and dance does too. Choir, I take choir because I like to sing. Singing makes me feel better. It's like a little therapy that I have and that I do when I'm like mad or sad. If I can have my students express acclaim through an art piece or through some type of dance or through something visual performing arts, then I'm more excited than reading an essay because they're actually, I feel like it takes more thought into creating something like that. like that than pulling artifacts from a document and putting them together. They can take what I'm teaching them, which is U.S. history, and connect it to something they can build themselves or perform themselves, then they really know it. Not every kid is geared towards a math. Not every kid has a math brain. Not every kid has a science brain. Not every kid, and I'm speaking in the traditional sense, I believe that every student can learn any subject but I think that they all have to be approached from a way that a student understands and for some of us a creative avenue or being able to approach things from an artistic perspective is what allows us to learn and then so if we're able if we're given the toolkit to be in a dance class or to be in a music class or be in a visual art class and to allow our mind to open in that way then we're able to also continue to succeed and excel in those core subjects like you know math and reading and science and comprehension and all of that because we're understanding things from a way that we are able to understand them. It's a good opportunity for those that are like oh school isn't you know that fun but here it is fun because well if you have these big opportunities you can like it just works and you can take away some of your time to do things that you love. When you go to school in the morning it's you know that feeling when you don't want to go to school. I mean there are some days where you don't want to go to school but at least you have stuff to look forward to. I think it's going to help me get like a good job like I'm like to write like it'll help me improve my writing skills my drama skills. Yeah I think it's going to really impact my future a lot. It makes it more fun to be at school because I know that at the end of the day I can come somewhere that I can do things that will make me happy. I went to school here. I'm a former black cat. I take pride in and what it means to be a LTMS student and and now teacher. But I love I love Easton. I love the community that we're in and just the passion that our students have for one growing as individuals but two taking care of themselves and and their community. Just always remember that LTMS is a special place. People come back here for a reason. People come back here because the hallways, they don't change, but there's great people in this building who are gonna invest in students every single day.

Welcome to Lexington Now for the week of April 1st, 2024. Lexington is taking applications for non-profits interested in applying for the city's One Lexington Violence Prevention grants through April 5th. The announcement was made at a press event at City Hall. So One Lexington is making progress in helping reduce violence among our young people. In 2022, Lexington had 44 homicides compared to 24 last year. For the first time in five years, Lexington had fewer than 100 shootings in 2023, just last year. The one Lexington team works very hard each day and every day to uplift our young people and keep them safe. We realize that the work to make our community safer is not something the city can do alone. We rely heavily on our community partners. One Lexington is once again accepting applications for its Gun Violence Prevention Grant Program. The grant program provides community partners with funding and resources to help prevent gun violence in our community. Government changes every few years, but the community is always the same. And so how can we get them to uplift and stand up? A lot of the communities that we go to, people have lived there 30, 40 years. So they're invested. And so how can we encourage them to be a part of this fight? And so this grant opportunity is open to all nonprofits and even those grassroots organizations who might not have their 501c3, they can utilize a fiscal sponsor. So they can partner with a bigger nonprofit and they can apply for this grant. We are looking for three tiers. Tier one is we want messaging and programming or messaging and events. Messaging is super important when addressing gun violence. Evil operates with impunity and we can't let it go unchecked. So we have to talk about peace. We have to talk about addressing gun violence. We can't hide from it. And so events and messaging is super important. The second tier focuses more on programming. I know last year, and I've been in Lexington my whole life, I saw the most amount of youth programming we've seen in a long time. And I think a lot of that came from not only our grant opportunity, but other opportunities in the city. And so if you have an innovative programming that you think could be a preventative measure to keep young people from being in that cycle of violence, we want you to take advantage of this opportunity. And then obviously the third tier is incorporating both a robust program, but also events coupled with messaging, whether that's using mass media, whether it's using hip hop and music, whether it's using art. We just want to keep this narrative of peace and togetherness going. Some of the types of organizations that we work with, some are sports organizations that work with kids in high-risk areas. Some, they deal with grief and healing. A lot of times our kids deal with a lot. They don't really know how to express their self. So that mental health aspect, we work with organizations that do that. And we also work with organizations who give opportunities to those that may fall in on tough times. We had one organization tell us about the program that they had, and a young lady who had a daughter was living in an abandoned church. And through their program, they were able to get her temporary housing, able to work on getting her a full-time job. Now she's working toward getting permanent housing for her and her daughter. So this is what the grants are able to do. is able to reach those that may not have the spotlight on them, but we can get resources and services to them. So we're grateful for the opportunity to be in a place here in the mayor's office and grateful for her backing and her support that she gives us so that we can make sure those in underserved areas are receiving resources that they need so that they can thrive in their lives. Applications should focus on messaging or community events, gun violence reduction programming, or be comprehensive projects addressing these initiatives. And I encourage, as both the speakers, previous speakers said, I encourage you to apply if you think you have a program or something to offer these youth. As I have said many times before, what we do in government is totally people-focused. We're about people, about lifting up people and providing services for people. And all of that makes us a better, healthier, stronger community. Bespoken Spirits brings new technology to the world of spirit-making in the heart of the Bourbon Trail. One of the signature spirits made there also has ties to rock legends, Leonard Skinner. This past week, the mayor joined them to cut the ribbon on their new facility at Grayline Station. Welcome, welcome to the grand opening of Bespoken Spirits. 13 months ago, this man invited that man to come meet me and the mayor of Lexington. And we went to the mayor's office and she was so graceful and helpful. and 13 young ones later, I said it would take nine, I have in my hand the very first bottle produced in Kentucky of Hell House Whiskey. We are thrilled that you are here. And, you know, we were talking about Sweet Home Alabama. We all love that song, right? We might have to start saying Sweet Home Kentucky. right for Bespoken Spirits and we are thrilled that you are in your new home here in Lexington Kentucky you bring great jobs you bring sustainability you bring technology to shake things up a little bit in the bourbon capital right so Lexington is a perfect fit for Bespoken Spirits and that was really clear to me the first day we chatted about this possibility. A friendly group of people wanted to relocate and I do want to thank and mention my chief development officer Kevin Adkins who was with us the entire time we talked. And agriculture technology is something we have a high focus on right now and we consider this in that group of businesses. So you've arrived at the perfect time of the year. Keeneland starts in April, right? Horse racing. We'll have the derby in May and lots of mint juleps and bourbon things going on. So Bespoken Spirits is really a perfect fit for us and we're thrilled that you're here. Hi, my name is TJ Rogers. I am currently from California, have been since 1970. I am exactly the prototype Silicon Valley guy that you would think I am. My technical career is I'm a transistor physicist. I design atoms in wafers in order to turn them into transistors. And then a technical person in Silicon Valley came up and had an idea how you could age bourbon. That is go from white dog to age spirit. You cannot tell the difference from real bourbon in four days. I'm going, four days. I'm thinking about warehouses disappearing and costs getting better. 30 times less wood. And we started the company. Then the company we were getting explained to by a Burlingame California official, who I would take a quarter for them to review our desire to have a building and start working on this stuff because we were very complicated. That's when I said, I have been here in Lexington for 20 years, part of Cypress, my chip company, was here. I knew it was good working here and I know it's suburban trails, so we came down and talked around. The mayor came up to me the first time I met her and she said, well, I'd like to let you know that we've had a little bit of delay in the past getting things done. But now we put all of our bureaucracy in one building and we have a very efficient way of getting things done here. And I passed out. I just ran on the floor. I was gone. Goodbye, California and hello, Kentucky. Thank you. Folks, I just want to say thank you. The community has been amazing to us. They have taken such good care of us. Mayor, thank you. You have been, I mean, your team, everybody has taken great care of us. We are so excited to be here in Lexington. I am so excited. I'm thrilled. This has been a dream of mine to bring a company to Kentucky, the bourbon capital of the world, and this disruptive and awesome technology that we have to share with everybody in Kentucky. I'm looking forward to fantastic things in the future. And again, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everybody for everything that you've done for us. And I'm looking forward to an amazing future with everybody here in Lexington, Kentucky. The future of transportation is being shaped and you can help. We'll tell you how after this. Hello, I'm Lieutenant Chris Van Brackle with the Lexington Police Department Traffic Unit. Today we are talking about disability accessible parking and the aisles between those parking places. Accessible parking is a valuable and necessary resource for people with disabilities, and that includes the striped area next to accessible parking spots. These are access aisles and it is illegal to park here even if you have an accessible parking permit. Police and Lex Park will write tickets when they see vehicles parked at an access aisle or parked in an accessible space without a placard and the fine is $250. Know where and where not to park. Keep the access aisles clear. Thank you and drive safe. Welcome back to Lexington Now. The 2050 Transportation Plan is coming together, and the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organizations wants your feedback. Christopher Avila tells us how. We are representing the Metropolitan Planning Organization, which is a federal program for transportation planning covering Fayette and Jessamine counties. And our reason for existence is to make sure that we have local input into decision-making involving federal highway and public transportation dollars. What we're talking about today is one of our long-range planning documents called the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. It's required to look out 25 years into the future and identify what our regional needs are during that period of time and how our region intends to use federal highway and public transportation dollars to address some of those needs. Now, the other thing that this plan is intended to do is look at the entire transportation system, identify how folks would be getting from point A to point B during that time, and how to make sure that folks can do that safely and in a reasonable amount of time. So we have a draft of that document on our website, www.lexareampo.org, and we're asking folks to take a look at that document and give us some feedback. Did we hit the mark? Are there things missing that need to be included in there? Are there projects that perhaps are a lesser priority than what have been identified? Now the one challenge we have here is that that document is a fiscally constrained document, so we have to be able to realistically afford what's being proposed. So that's one of the challenges that we have to identify as well. We do have public listening sessions that you can find by going to our website, but we are accepting comments through April 15th. And the policy committee, who governs the MPO, mostly elected officials, will be making decisions on adopting that plan on April 24th. These are come-and-go sessions. We'll have information about the plan and what's being recommended at those sessions. Folks can come and go at their convenience, and we will have staff there to be able to answer any questions. But we also have opportunities for folks to provide comments on the draft plan there as well. We do have to be realistic in what's being proposed and, most importantly, what we can actually afford. And we do have a financial forecast that we perform to kind of estimate how much in federal dollars, but also state and local resources to be able to move some of these priorities forward. There have been a lot of highway focused projects in the past, but we're kind of transitioning more towards other modes of transportation, especially modes that are cleaner, help us with our air pollution and climate change goals. Certainly greenhouse gas emissions trying to get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. We've also heard a lot of folks saying we would like more access to high quality public transportation services. Also for the folks who are dependent on that transit system would like to see additional investment in public transportation. So we do have certain recommendations to be able to provide additional services to reduce the travel times to also improve the frequency of transit services and also to improve the wheel service, which we've heard a lot of input about as well. We're also focusing a lot on safety. So we've adopted a Vision Zero goal to eliminate fatal and serious injury crashes by 2050. And so the projects that are most beneficial in helping us get to that point are the projects that are kind of bubbling to the top in our priority list. Now we're also looking at a lot of bike ped proje to make every street wit we call a complete street making sure that all pot the system are able to us and comfortably Lewis and icons in the underground being memorialized with a east end. Here's a look at and legacy. One of the things that has surprised me about Lewis Hayden, on October the 1st, 1844, his owner said that he knew Lewis had escaped, but he didn't know where he was. He hadn't heard from him. Lewis responded to him on October the 27th. He hired a secretary to send a letter back to Thomas Grant and Louis Baxter, his owners, and said, by now you have discovered my absence, and I'm going to tell you why and where. And he proceeded to do that. He also talked to Harriet Beecher Stowe and gave her his life story, written in a key to Uncle Tom's cabin. It's all there. It's documented. We're not making it up. He also wrote a letter back to Sidney Howard Gay, who was a newspaper editor, National Anti-Slavery Standard. Henry Clay was campaigning, and he made the comment that he was a friend to the slave. Lewis Hayden, oh no. Lewis Hayden says in 1847, still a fugitive slave, that I hope you're never a friend of Henry Clay and fallen to his hands as a slave. And this is why. He gives details. He talks about his first wife and child having been bought by Clay and then sold by Clay. He gave details about where his wife had been enslaved on Thomas Clay's farm, Henry Clay's son, with the Mentil family across the street, the French couple, and then back to Henry Clay where she gave birth, lost her child. Henry Clay sold her three weeks later. And Hayden says, he asked politely, why did you do this? I bought them and I sold them, was the response. how could this man, enslaved, that most people want to believe enslaved people are dumb, stupid, and ignorant. This does not speak of a person who is not capable of reasoning, not capable of passion, not capable of love. And most enslaved people had those traits. this is why I think Lewis and Harriet Hayden's story is going to resonate and spread throughout our city, our state and the nation because it gives us a more balanced picture of individuals who are having to deal with adverse conditions cruel in human treatment but yet through love, through compassion, through humanity, they saw fit and willing and wanting to help others. The Haydens helped 100 fugitive slaves before the Civil War. That's a lot of people through your house. and there are records of those enslaved families. The vigilance committee had a secretary, Mr. Jackson. He kept detailed records, detailed records. A lot of this is online. You just have to go look. And as we continue to share his story, you'll see more of that on our website. And if you will go to the website, Ms. Tessmer has been our web manager. She's done a fabulous job posting information. So please look at it frequently and learn. There's several videos on there. But she's also provided some of the history. Lewis and Harriet Hayden's time has come.

We are back here at East Sector Roll Call, and we are going to be talking about the backbone of the agency, which is the area that I work, patrol. Patrol, where everything starts, right? Everything starts. Nicole's home. My home. I'm excited. Get to come into your world for a little bit, right? Yes. So every shift on patrol begins with a roll call where all the officers for that shift and that sector come to get information about what's going on, things they need to be looking for, safety briefings, those types of things. Yes. So we're going to go to roll call, and then after that, we're going to hit the streets in your world. Yes. All right. We're going to take some calls and we're going to show the community basically what goes on in the life of a patrol officer and how we dock our cameras and stuff at the end. I'm excited. Let's do it. All right. So we just left roll call. We always have roll call in the beginning of the shift. We go over the briefing. And the briefing is how we kind of disseminate information across all the sectors because we all have different sector offices. and different shifts obviously. And then we just pull up CAD and. were dispatched to either dispatch us or
