00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:32.200 We can re-talk about it there, I just didn't know if we wanted to bring anything up now. 00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:33.520 Minutes look good. 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:39.120 And then second, before we hop into the agenda, I wanted to ask our legal representation. 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:41.320 Jerry, he wanted to talk to us this evening. 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:49.000 >> Yeah, I just wanted to introduce to the commission our new land use attorney we just hired. 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.720 Cynthia Kirchhoff, who comes to us from St. Cloud, Minnesota, where she was city attorney there. 00:00:54.720 --> 00:01:03.200 >> And she has extensive land use experience, and before law school, you were a planner, weren't you? 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:03.960 >> Correct. 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.760 >> Okay, so that's all good experience that I can't give you. 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:16.960 And so I have no doubt that Cynthia will not only replace but supersede me entirely. 00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:20.680 So I'll look forward to her, and I hope you do as well. 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.840 >> Thank you very much, Jerry, and I appreciate your service you've given to the commission. 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.120 And welcome aboard, Cynthia, and welcome to Denton. 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.800 Hopefully it's straightened you well. 00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:31.920 Effective date next week?

00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.040 >> Yeah, when that combination hamburger chicken plate, yeah, want to do it. 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:46.880 But now it says it's, let me make sure I'm looking at it right here, it's permitted with a use specific standard, so. 00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:50.520 >> Right, and Commissioner Beck, this is for the replat, so that's what we'd be considering. 00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:55.120 Unless there's a question we can ask, that is a zoning related question, and- 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.720 >> We're just trying to get a start on it there, you know, be prepared for it. 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.880 You know that if something like that comes in there, there's going to be some- 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.240 >> You know, I understand the concern being that it's just north of the residential neighborhood, but you do have Emory. 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:14.120 And that is an area that you'll see a lot more development because it's currently undeveloped. 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.520 >> Right, okay, okay. 00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:18.000 >> Commissioner Burnetta. 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.760 >> And so to clarify along with Commissioner Beck's question. 00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:24.720 So all we're doing is approving whether or not we're splitting this right now. 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:31.360 At a future date, when they come back with plans and everything, we can determine whether we would approve it facing the neighborhoods or facing whatever. 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.400 >> If- >> We're doing a split right now, right? 00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:39.720 >> Commissioner Bennett, if they meet the site design requirements, they don't need any variance or 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:44.720 any other requirements that needs to be varied, whatever it is, they will not. 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:49.080 It would be permitted by administrative review only. 00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:49.960 >> Okay. 00:05:49.960 --> 00:05:51.520 >> Yes. 00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:52.040 >> All right. 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.560 >> Any other questions on this item? 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.000 Perfect, thanks, Ron. 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.960 >> Okay. 00:05:57.960 --> 00:05:59.200 >> One more. 00:05:59.200 --> 00:06:03.200 This is item 4B, FR19-0004. 00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:07.840 >> Okay, this is another one similar in scope. 00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:12.680 The property is just around the side on Bonnie Bray. 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:18.080 Further on the south, I'm sorry, north east corner of Bonnie Bray and Crescent. 00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:23.160 The applicant is looking to subdivide or replant the lot into two lots. 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.440 A lot being lot one and block A of the Crescent addition. 00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:32.440 It is approximately 0.74 acres, again, into two lots and 00:06:32.440 --> 00:06:35.640 proposed use as commercial as provided in their narrative. 00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:42.280 This is the replant itself, and you can see they're just splitting the lot here for 00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:47.120 the intent of, again, developing the site with two commercial uses. 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:54.400 The zoning is NRME 12, and they meet the lot dimension that is required for that zoning district. 00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:57.560 And again, with that, because they meet the development code requirements, 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.240 staff is recommending approval of their proposed replant. 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:08.080 >> Ron, for my own notification, what happens when a plot that's developed across the plot line, 00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:13.680 will there be any implications to have to dig up the driveway or 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.920 anything to differentiate the two plots, or is it perfectly fine to? 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:18.800 >> If it's not a building, they're fine. 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.160 Flat work is okay. 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.520 Obviously, there will be an easement required to provide access. 00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:27.760 But no structure would be allowed, if there is an existing structure, 00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:32.120 then that would be something that they would have to remedy before we move forward. 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:33.760 >> I got it. 00:07:33.760 --> 00:07:35.560 Perfect. 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.600 Any other questions on this item? 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.680 Great. 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:40.320 Thank you, Ron. 00:07:40.320 --> 00:07:41.000 >> Okay. 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:48.560 >> So again, to reiterate for the commission and those watching who might have planned to come this evening, item 4C. 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:49.960 We will open the public hearings. 00:07:49.960 --> 00:07:53.960 There will be an opportunity to speak, but we will be asking for a postponement. 00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:57.360 So most likely, if that vote goes through, there will not be a decision or 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.120 recommendation made by this commission this evening. 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:04.120 We will be hearing it again if the vote goes through on April 17th. 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.680 So for those wanting to speak in depth, April 17th might be a better evening to come. 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:10.600 Commissioner Beck. 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.440 >> Thanks, Chair. 00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:14.040 What's the reason for postponing?

--> 00:15:30.040 Next item for business is item 4C DCA 19-004, and I'll open the public hearing. 00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:34.840 And request the commissioner for a vote to postpone to a date certain of April 17th. 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.240 Commissioner Smith. 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:37.760 >> I move to approve. 00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:41.400 I'm sorry, I move to postpone to April 17th, I'm sorry. 00:15:41.400 --> 00:15:42.600 >> Perfect, we have a first. 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:43.960 Commissioner Ellis. 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:44.480 >> Second. 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:50.640 >> We have a first and a second to postpone this item to the April 17th meeting. 00:15:50.640 --> 00:15:53.160 Any discussion? 00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:54.520 Seeing none, I'll call for a vote on the board. 00:15:54.520 --> 00:16:03.600 This motion carries 6-0. 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.800 The next item of business is the plan and zoning matrix, and I will turn it to city staff for an update and then discussion. 00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:14.880 >> Just briefly on the matrix, I don't have really anything to add at this time. 00:16:14.880 --> 00:16:21.360 I know we've, I think once we get through the next two weeks or three weeks with the DDC update, 00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.400 we'll be able to fill in some of these dates. 00:16:24.400 --> 00:16:33.320 I think we did add the discussion on the upland habitat as that related to the ESA criteria manual. 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:40.680 I know Deborah was looking at bringing that to PNC in May or the second meeting in May, so that's why you see that date there. 00:16:40.680 --> 00:16:43.800 Just a quick update on some of the items from council. 00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:50.520 Villages of Carmel, that alternate ESA was approved with one slight change. 00:16:50.520 --> 00:16:55.760 If you recall, there was a bond that they were bond or 00:16:55.760 --> 00:17:00.120 surety that they were going to include and 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:06.360 the rate was at $125 an inch for the tree mitigation. 00:17:06.360 --> 00:17:13.520 The council changed that to 200 to sort of fall in line with where the new fee would go. 00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:15.200 So that was the only change. 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:22.000 The auto hail place, that was approved last night, if you recall, it was continued. 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.080 There was a slight change to, I think it was condition three, but 00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:32.720 it really didn't affect the material condition that was related to the parking of that. 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.840 I think it just required that it all be on site. 00:17:35.840 --> 00:17:38.200 Windsor Drive, that was actually postponed. 00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:45.680 The applicant had some changes that they wanted to propose, I think some additional setbacks. 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:53.040 Unfortunately, staff just did not have the time to review that plan beforehand or make any adjustments to an ordinance. 00:17:53.040 --> 00:18:02.080 And so that item was postponed and the city initiated rezoning of the service center was also approved. 00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:10.920 With that, there was an update, if you recall, there were two neighbors in the audience that had a number of concerns. 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:18.520 And so we had also included an update to that in last Friday's, the Friday report that goes out. 00:18:18.520 --> 00:18:22.040 If you haven't seen it, we can make sure that it gets sent to you. 00:18:22.040 --> 00:18:27.160 There was also an update in there with respect to the improvements that are being done. 00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:31.480 The fencing, to improve the fencing, restricting the traffic on some of the local streets, 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:36.320 increase landscaping, they did a spring cleanup day on the 28th of March. 00:18:36.320 --> 00:18:41.200 And sort of the first step, so they are still continuing to clean up that site. 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:48.800 And I know that, I think they met today, they're either meeting today or tomorrow to look at some of the drainage concerns that were brought up. 00:18:48.800 --> 00:18:55.280 I think the gentleman that was here, so just wanted to give you an update on those council items that were brought in front of you. 00:18:55.280 --> 00:18:58.600 >> Thanks for that update, Christopher Smith. 00:18:58.600 --> 00:18:59.800 >> Thank you, Chair. 00:18:59.800 --> 00:19:05.320 Forward next week, not really something we add to the matrix, but just something just to advise staff on. 00:19:05.320 --> 00:19:13.640 Knowing that, I think many of us commissioners, including myself, got a lot of public input for the city-wide rezone. 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:21.000 A lot of confusion on not knowing exactly what they were zoned in now, and that they just saw a letter in the mail that they were going to get rezoned. 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:28.800 Just if we can, we talked about this with Ron after work session, but just if we can early on do some mitigation from a staff level. 00:19:28.800 --> 00:19:38.160 And folks who are going to come and speak during public hearing about making sure they understand the residential zoning is going to be minuscule changes, really nothing at all there. 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:44.720 And then making sure confusion and whatnot gets filtered out before it comes in front of us, because we will have probably a very busy night next week. 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:49.200 We're seeing some really serious cases that probably need some serious consideration and conversation. 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:54.160 I want to try to just filter out some of the things that can be handled not in front of the dais, so thank you. 00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:00.080 >> The only thing I have is, next week is a special call session. 00:20:00.080 --> 00:20:05.000 So are the items limited in public hearings specific to the code and the map only? 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.480 Nothing else is going to be put on the agenda? 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.160 >> Correct, we may have one or two consent items. 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.880 That was the only other, sort of as we were preparing the agenda. 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:21.800 I didn't want to have any public hearing items or individual consideration items other than the code. 00:20:21.800 --> 00:20:26.360 We thought if there was a plat that could go at least as a consent item, 00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:34.520 a preliminary plat or a conveyance plat that really we didn't see too much of an issue with including that. 00:20:34.520 --> 00:20:39.680 We may have one or two or none, it really depends how to work through some issues today. 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:48.160 But as it stands currently, it'll just be the DDC and then the map, so there'll be two different items. 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:54.400 >> Well, as much as I can encourage, I'd like to see it stay that way, just to keep us on task. 00:20:54.400 --> 00:21:00.200 And especially for the people that are going to be here not to wait for massive items. 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.440 The other thing is, I know city staff is working on 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:11.240 some logistical procedures of how the night will go in terms of the flow of traffic. 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.760 Can we just be ensured that during presentation at work session next week, 00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:24.040 either the entire commission or at least myself, has a pretty tight understanding of what the flow will be, how cards will be identified, all that. 00:21:24.040 --> 00:21:28.800 I know you might still be working that out, but I think it's going to be helpful to have them kind of vetted. 00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:33.000 But I've never participated in that sort of meeting. 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:38.080 So any kind of heads up about what we can expect so we can look like experts would be helpful. 00:21:38.080 --> 00:21:46.960 >> Certainly, and we can even include sort of a summary or even almost like a chart, if you will, with the packet when it goes out on Friday. 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:52.360 So at least you have somewhat of an idea and then we can further go into it even more, 00:21:52.360 --> 00:21:56.880 even prior to the start of that work session agenda. 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:01.400 >> Great, and I spoke briefly offline with Ron about this. 00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:07.040 Can we include, as part of the public presentation, just kind of an overview of that crosswalk or 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:15.640 just show individuals what kind of the current zoning to new zoning is. 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:21.720 Back to Commissioner Smith's point, anything we can do to kind of proactively get to this confusion, I think would be super helpful. 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.720 And I think that crosswalk goes a long way to understand, here's where you were, this is where you're going. 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.720 Especially for detached single residencies in the residential zones. 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:37.280 I know there is a significant change in the actual language, but practically speaking, 00:22:37.280 --> 00:22:43.720 there's not a lot of changes for those homes already built in a residential zone. 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:49.600 And so if there's any way to kind of pacify that confusion, I think all the better. 00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:52.240 I completely agree with Commissioner Smith on that front. 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:57.520 I think agreeing or disagreeing with the actual zoning changes is rightfully heard and processed through. 00:22:57.520 --> 00:23:00.560 But the confusion, we can just minimize that for efficiency. 00:23:00.560 --> 00:23:04.960 Any other points for the matrix? 00:23:07.280 --> 00:23:10.720 All right, seeing none, I will close this meeting at 644. 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:11.220 Thank you.
