THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM, AND I GUESS WITH THAT WILL MOVE ON TO THE CASE. OKAY? THANK YOU. CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU IS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD EAST OF NEW ALBANY, CONDIT ROAD WEST OF WENTWORTH CROSSING SUBDIVISION AND SOUTH OF THE COURTYARDS THAT NEW ALBANY SUBDIVISION THE APPLICATION IS FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION REGARDING THE SUITABILITY OF THE PARKLAND AND OPEN SPACE. PROPOSED AS PART OF A NEW SUBDIVISION KNOWN AS ALDEN WOODS. THE PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD WOULD TYPICALLY REVIEW LEISURE TRAIL. HOWEVER IN THIS INSTANCE THERE IS AN EXISTING EIGHT FT WIDE TRAIL ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD AND NO ADDITIONAL LEISURE TRAIL IS REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE LEISURE TRAIL MASTER PLAN. THE 8.83 ACRE SITE IS ZONED TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NINE LOT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION. FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, THE TOTAL REQUIRED PARTLY IN AN OPEN SPACE IS 2.26 ACRES. THE APPLICANT IS EXCEEDING THAT BY PROVIDING THREE RESERVE AREAS THAT CONSISTS OF EITHER OPEN SPACE OR PARKLAND, TOTALLY 2.39 ACRES. OPEN SPACE IS PROVIDED BY RESERVES A AND B. AND THE RESERVES ARE LOCATED AT LONG CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD AND BETWEEN THAT ROAD AND WHAT HAVE YOU DRIVE? THE PARKLAND IS BEING PROVIDED BY RESERVE C AND IS CENTRALLY LOCATED WITHIN THE WOULD VIEW DRIVE LOOP. THE APPLICANT IS TO PROVIDE A FIVE FT WIDE CONCRETE SIDEWALK WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY ALONG THE NEW INTERNAL STREET FOR THE SUBDIVISION. FOR THE TEXT ZONE.IAN TEXT TREES ARE TO BE PROVIDED AROUND THE STORM WATER BASIN IN RESERVE, A. AND A LANDSCAPE BUFFER WILL BE PROVIDED ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD IN RESERVES A AND B. THE ZONING TEXT STATES THAT ALL OF THE OPEN SPACE AND PARKLAND WILL BE OWNED BY THE CITY AND MAINTAINED BY THE O A. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO INSTALL PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT THAT ALIGNS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE CURRENT CITY NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IMPROVEMENT. THE PROPOSED PLAYGROUND WOULD ACCOMMODATE CHILDREN AGES 2 TO 5 YEARS OLD. THE EQUIPMENT INCLUDES THREE WOULDN'T WOBBLE BOARDS. WOODEN STEP CLUSTER, A WOODEN PLAY STRUCTURE, UM WITH A SLIDE. AND THE PLAYGROUND STRUCTURE SEEM APPROPRIATE FOR THE PROPOSED AGE RANGE. THE SUBMITTAL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PROPOSED GROUND MATERIAL FOR THE PLAYGROUND STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT THE DESIGN THE UPDATED TO INCLUDE GROUND MATERIAL THAT IS ACCESSIBLE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PARK'S FRAMEWORK PLAN. AND IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO STAFF APPROVAL. UH ALSO RIGHT NOW, THE PLAN DOES NOT INCLUDE AMENITIES WITHIN THE PLAYGROUND AREA THAT WOULD BE PROVIDING COMFORTS FOR ALL AGES SUCH AS A BENCH, PICNIC TABLE OR TRASH CANS. AND STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT THE DESIGN TO BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THOSE ITEMS. UM. IT'S WORTH POINTING OUT THAT SHADE WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE TREES THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THE PLAYGROUND AREA SO WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE BENCH BE LOCATED NEAR A TREE TO TAKE
[00:10:01]
ADVANTAGE OF THE SHADE. IN SUMMARY, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROPOSAL MEETS THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOUND IN THE PARKS FRAMEWORK PLAN, AND THE PLAYGROUND ALIGNS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE CURRENT CITY NEIGHBORHOOD PARK IMPROVEMENTS. THE PLAN IS WELL DESIGNED AND APPROPRIATE. THE PLAN POSITIVELY ATTRIBUTES TO THE CONNECTION OF PARKS, GREEN SPACES AND NATURAL CORRIDORS WITH LEISURE TRAILS ANSIDED WALK CONNECTIONS. THE PARKLAND IS SUFFICIENTLY SIZED, LOCATED WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION DIVISION, UM APPROPRIATELY AND MEETS ALL CITY CODE REQUIREMENTS. SHOULD BE BORED. RECOMMEND APPROVAL STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THE CONDITIONS LISTED IN YOUR STAFF REPORT AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. UM HOW FAR IS THE RETENTION POND FROM THE TWO CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD? HOW CLOSE IS THAT? I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THAT FROM MEMORY, BUT I CAN PULL MY DRAWINGS OUT INTRA MALLETS WITH , UM MALLETS, ARCHITECTS AND BUILD WHERE THE DEVELOPER FOR THE PROPERTY UM THE YES. THANK YOU. SO THERE IS A UM WHAT? WE'RE CALLING A DEVELOPMENT SETBACK RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU CAN SEE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE COLOR. THAT'S 200 FT, OFF OF THE PROPERTY LINE OR OFF OF THE CENTERLINE OF CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD. UM SO THAT JUST BY BY SCALE IS ABOUT ANOTHER 125 FT TO THE PARK AREA RIGHT HERE, AND THIS SITS APPROXIMATELY 65 FT. TO THE NORTH EDGE OF THE POND OFF THAT SET BACK. SO YOU'RE JUST OVER 200 FT AND THAT FROM POND TOOK PARK. OKAY TO THE PARK . I'M SORRY. I MEANT TO CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD ITSELF. SO IT'S MORE LIKE 50 OR 60. FT YEAH, I'M SORRY. YEAH SO THE SOUTHERN EDGE IS ABOUT 60 FT AS WELL TO THE CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD NOW THERE AS JUST THEY MENTIONED AS CHELSEA MENTIONED, THERE'S A AN EXISTING LEADER TRAIL THAT WILL BE MAINTAINED AND YOU KNOW, UM UPDATED IF IT'S CUT UP DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT'S BETWEEN THE POND AND THE AND THE ROADWAY, AND SINCE THE POND IS SO CLOSE TO THE ROADWAY, IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR GOING TO BE SOME FENCING ALONG THERE? WE INTEND TO CONTINUE IN THIS PRESENT, BELIEVE. MISSION UM, WE'RE GOING TO BE INSTALLING A HORSE RAIL FENCE ALONG UM THE FRONTAGE ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD THAT WOULD BE BETWEEN THE LEADER TRAIL AND THE AND THE WATER THAT WILL PROVIDE A BARRIER. OKAY THAT WAS NOT A BARRIER, BUT NOT LIKE A POOL FENCE, BUT CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO JUST WALK OFF THE TRAIL AND THE WATER, RIGHT? RIGHT AND THEN JUST TO THE NORTH OF THAT RETENTION POND, IT SAYS FUTURE ROAD. YES SO IS THE IDEA THAT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE THAT COULD CONNECT OUT TO 605 IT COULD. SO THERE'S AS YOU MAY KNOW, THERE ARE SEVEN PARCELS TO THE WEST OF ARE NOW. PROPOSED TO BE CONSOLIDATED SUBDIVISION. UM AND THAT. THANK YOU. SO EVERYTHING TO THE WEST OF HERE RUNS ALL THE WAY TO STRAIGHT ROUND 605. THANK YOU RIGHT HERE . SO IN THE EVENT IN THE FUTURE THAT THIS WERE TO BE DEVELOPED THAN THE STUFF ACCESS THAT WE'VE PROVIDED, ALONG WITH THE STUFF ACCESS THAT WAS PROVIDED RIGHT HERE BY THE EPP KHAN DEVELOPMENT WOULD THEORETICALLY CONNECT INSIDE THIS DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE AS AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THERE ARE, UM, TURN LANE REQUIREMENTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF NEW ALBANY, CONDIT IN CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD, SO WHETHER OR NOT THAT STUB ENDS UP. CONNECTING ALL THE WAY OVER TO NEW ALBANY CONDUCT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO STAFF AND ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS AND BE MAD. AND THEN I MEAN, YOU KNOW THE PLAYGROUND. I MEAN, THERE'S ONLY NINE HOMES AND KUDOS FOR DOING NINE HOMES ON ON THOSE NINE ACRES. I LIKE THAT. WE TRIED, YOU KNOW, UM AND SO SHOULD SOMEBODY DECIDE THEY WANT TO DRIVE IN THERE AND GO TO THE PARK. IS IT IT'S STREET PARKING WOULD BE IT'S A STANDARD WITH, UM RIGHT AWAY. UH, AT THE STREET. WE HAVE THE 50 FT RIGHT AWAY FROM THE CENTER LINE OF THE STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND AS AS CHELSEA MENTIONED WILL BE INSTALLED, SO THERE'S NOTHING IN THE PLANS THAT ARE GOING TO PROHIBIT, UM YOU KNOW SOMEBODY FROM PULLING IN AND PARKING THERE RIGHT? THINK IT WILL ULTIMATELY BE THE H O A ITSELF THAT WILL GOVERN THAT FUTURE. BUT WE'RE NOT PUTTING ANY IMMEDIATE RESTRICTION ON THAT, NOR, NOR DID WE RECOMMEND DOING THAT. BUT THERE IS NO OFF STREET PARKING ANYWHERE IN THE PROPERTY IN THE IN THE SUBDIVISION PROPERTY. I GUESS THAT WAS MY QUESTION AND THEN BECAUSE WE'RE[00:15:02]
CONNECTIVITY COMMUNITY, UM WHAT ABOUT. CONNECTIONS INTO THE SUBDIVISION BEHIND THERE VIA A TRAIL OR SIDEWALKS. WE RELIED ON THIS REQUIREMENT RIGHT HERE. THIS FUTURE STREET CONNECTION COUPLED WITH THE STREET CONNECTION THAT'S COMING FROM THE NORTH TO PROVIDE ACTIVITY.THERE IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT VEGETATION BARRIER AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THIS PROPERTY AS WELL AS A LOT OF TREES, RIGHT? IT WAS OUR DESIRE TO MAINTAIN SOME DEGREE OF PRIVACY AND THE APPEAL OF THE WOODED LOTS WAS REALLY THE SELLING POINT. IF YOU WILL, FOR THE IDENTITY THAT WE CHOSE AND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I LIKE THAT ASPECT OF IT, UM AH, I GUESS THAT'S ALL I HAD QUESTIONS ON. I THINK IT'S IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT LITTLE SUBDIVISION. THANK YOU. AND IS THE IDEA THAT THE ROAD IS ONE WAY IN THAT WORK? IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO BE A ONE WAY LOOP. THIS WILL ACTUALLY BE AN INTERSECTION, YOU KNOW, RIGHT HERE, SO THERE'LL BE A STOP SIGN , UM, INSTALLED RIGHT HERE THAT WOULD ALLOW VOTES COMING IN TO, YOU KNOW, EITHER TURN RIGHT OR LEFT, BUT IT IS TO A TRACK IT IS INVITED ENOUGH AND PLAN TO BE TWO WAY TRAFFIC IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, SO THERE WOULD ALSO THEN BE THAT WOULD BE A BUS STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUS STOP LIKE THERE IS BECAUSE IT'S STILL COURT IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM THAT , RIGHT, SO THAT'S ALREADY A STOP, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE DISTRICT BUS MAP WILL HAVE A STOP LOCATED INSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT WOULD GUARD THE SAFETY OF USING THE CENTRAL COLLEGE SIDEWALK. AND AGAIN. THIS MAY NOT BE IN OUR WHEELHOUSE, BUT I'LL JUST THROW IT OUT. I LIKE THE PROPOSAL OF THE OTHER. ROAD GOING ON TO 605. VERSUS ONTO CENTRAL COLLEGE, AND HERE'S MY CONCERNS, BUT I MAY NOT BE SEEING IT ALL CORRECTLY. SO THERE'S A STOPLIGHT NOT FAR FROM THERE. SO PEOPLE COMING OUT. YOU'RE SPEAKING OF THIS INTERSECTION HERE, RIGHT? AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD WITH ACCESS ACROSS FROM RIGHT HERE. YEAH. AND SO I'M JUST PICTURING A LOT OF KIDS DO BIKE ALONG THAT NICE WIDE PATHWAY. AND I'M PICTURING A CAR COMING IN A CAR COMING OUT A CAR COMING IN A CAR COMING OUT, BACKING UP TRAFFIC AT THE LIGHT. SO THAT'S WHERE I WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF PEDESTRIANS USING THAT TRAIL AND WOULD SEE HOW 605 WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE SAFE. WELL I CAN TELL YOU IN TERMS OF THE PREVIOUS APPROVAL THAT HE WENT THROUGH. TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY IS WE ARE ALIGNING. UM ARE TWO ACCESS POINTS RIGHT HERE AND WE ALSO AS A STIPULATION OF APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING PERMISSION. WAS TO INSTALL STOP SIGNS ON THE LEISURE TRAIL AT THE POINT OF ENTRY, PEDESTRIAN LEVEL. STOP SIGNS AT THE POINT OF ENTRY, SO THAT AT LEAST IF YOU'RE RIDING YOUR BIKE DOWN THE TRAIL, YOU'VE GOT A VISUAL INDICATION THAT, HEY, THERE'S CARS COMING IN, AND YOU KNOW, EXITING FROM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, SO THAT WAS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL. BUT BEYOND THAT, WE DID ALSO, UM HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH US, STEPHEN GLOBALLY TO SPEAK TO THIS. THERE WERE QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT TRAFFIC IMPACT THAT WAS STUDIED BY THE CITY ENGINEER'S OFFICE. I MEAN, THANKFULLY, IN OUR SITUATION, IT IS FAIRLY LOW DENSITY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, NINE HOMES, SO IT WAS NOT, UM I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS ANYONE'S MOUTH, SO I'M NOT SAYING THIS CORRECTLY. IT WAS NOT DEEMED THAT A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS EVEN REMOTELY REQUIRED. GIVEN THE MINIMAL IMPACT. THERE'S ALREADY THREE HOMES THERE THAT WERE BEING SERVED OFF OF CENTRAL COLLEGE, SO THE NET DIFFERENCES IS SIX HOMES. SO WHILE WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE QUESTION OF SAFETY LIGHTLY, I DON'T THINK THAT THE IMPACT IS SIGNIFICANT. WHILE WE'RE ON THE SAFETY WITH THE CITY, CONSIDER SO TO YOUR POINT SHARP AND I LIKE THAT THE LEISURE TREASURE ALREADY THERE.
BUT BUT THEY CONSIDER CONSIDER A CROSS MARK. BETWEEN. NORTHERN WOODS AND STEAL COURT BECAUSE WHAT I'M SAYING IS THE LEISURE TRIAL DOESN'T GO TO 605. SO MY CHILD IS WRITING RESPECT TO SCHOOL OR MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO WRITE HER BIKE TO TOWN. COULD THEY COULD CROSS. THEY COULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ABERDEEN LINKS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE KRAFTWERK. I'M SEEING THERE'S A LOSER CHILD ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THAT CORNER AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO PUT A LEISURE TRAIL THAT COULD PROVIDE SAFE CONNECTIVITY THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN OPTION. IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN JUST LOOK AT SO AS FAR AS CONNECTIONS GO, SO
[00:20:01]
THERE IS A LEISURE PATH ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CENTRAL COLLEGE ALL THE WAY TO THE 605 CENTRAL COLLEGE INTERSECTION HERE, SO THIS WAS INSTALLED BY THE CITY AS PART OF A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS SOME YEARS AGO, SO CURRENTLY THERE'S NO PROPOSED CROSSINGS HERE AT THE SUBDIVISION. THAT'S HIM. THAT'S PROPOSED AND IT'S STILL COURT AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE THERE'S WHILE THE CURB CUTS ARE ALIGNING FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC FOR THEIR SAFE MOVEMENT . THERE IS NO OTHER SORT OF STOP CONDITION OR INTERSECTION FOR VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, SO IT WOULD BE AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. SO WE LOOK AT TWO THINGS. WE LOOK AT SAFETY PICKLER TRAFFIC AND SAFE PEDESTRIAN TRAVEL. AND SO THE REASON FOR ALIGNING THOSE CURB CUTS FOR THIS INTERSECTION FOR THIS SUBDIVISION STEEL COURT IS FOR SAFE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.HOWEVER, THE INTENT IS THAT ANY SORT OF PEDESTRIAN WHETHER IT BE BIKES OR PAST REINES WOULD FOLLOW THE LEISURE PATH TO 605 IN CENTRAL COLLEGE WHERE THERE ARE EXISTING, UM SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WITH CROSSWALKS AND BUTTONS WITH FLASHERS FOR SAFE CROSSING. UM WHEREAS IF YOU WERE TO PUT ONE HERE WOULD BE A MID BLOCK CROSSING, WHICH IS NOT DESIRABLE FROM A PEDESTRIAN SAFETY STANDPOINT, CAUSING KIND OF REMINDS ME OF THE DUBLIN GRANVILLE VOTER OR WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WAY? INTERSECTION WHERE THAT IS, THAT IS A STREET THAT GETS A LOT OF TRAFFIC, BUT THERE WAS LIKE A LITTLE LIKE PEDESTRIAN SIGNED BUT LIKE IS YOU CAN SEE ON A BIKE AND YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T IMPEDE THE FLOW. UM THE TRAFFIC ON EITHER WAY, BUT LIKE PROVIDES A SIGNAL TO THE PEDESTRIANS AND KIDS THAT LIKE THIS IS A STREET. YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION, OKAY? YEAH AND AS FAR I'VE HEARD CONNECTIONS UNDER 605 TO, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY WHEN, IF AND WHEN DEVELOPED OCCUR, DEVELOPMENT OCCURS ON THESE PROPERTIES. THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO PUT IN A LEISURE TRAIL ALONG THIS SECTION HERE. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ONE OF OUR PRIORITY CORRIDORS WITHIN OUR WE SHOULD TRUMP MASTER PLAN, BUT THE IDEA JUST LIKE WITH THIS SUBDIVISION CONNECTIONS GOING AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. CERTAINLY THERE'S POTENTIAL ROAD STUB HERE. IN ADDITION TO THE ONE THAT'S ALONG HERE FOR THIS SUBDIVISION, AND SO THE GOAL FOR THE CITY WE, YOU KNOW FOR VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAVELS TO PROVIDE A MULTIPLE MULTIPLE MULTITUDE OF MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS OF PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE TRAVELING BY CAR OR BY BIKE OR WALKING HAVE CHOICES FOR WHAT THEY CAN DO. AND UNFORTUNATELY, UM, THIS PROPERTY IS IN BEING DEVELOPED YET, BUT I THINK IN THE FUTURE PEDESTRIANS WILL CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO TAKE A SIDEWALK. TO GO UP TO THIS, UM, SUBDIVISION APPEAR COURTYARDS AND GO FURTHER NORTH AND TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE MEANS OF GETTING DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS AND YOU WON'T EVEN POTENTIALLY HAVE TO BE ALONG ROADS LIKE 605, OR CENTRAL COLLEGE. THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND.
AND THIS GRAPHIC HERE IS, IS THERE IS THIS ACCURATE IN THAT THERE'S NO SIDEWALK PROPOSED ON THE PERIMETER OF THAT. PLAYGROUND LIKE OPEN SPACE. THAT'S CORRECT. WE DON'T HAVE A PLATE. WE DON'T HAVE A SIDEWALK ON THE INTERIOR PORTIONS DESIGNATED PARKING AREA AND THERE ARE SOME TREES THAT WE ARE TRYING TO PRESERVE CLOSE TO THE STREET. BUT CAN BE SO LONG AS THERE ISN'T A SIDEWALK THERE, SO WE ELECTED TO PUT A CONNECTION HERE. AND HERE AS FAR AS THE CROSSWALKS ARE CONCERNED TO BE ABLE TO ENTER THE SITE NOW I UNDERSTAND AND IT'S SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THIS. THAT SOMEBODY MAY ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THEY BESIDES, TOO, BUT ONCE THEY CROSS WE'RE PROVIDING , YOU KNOW, POINTS OF ACCESS AGAINST THE PARK SPACE IN THE MIDDLE. IT'S A IT'S A BALANCING ACT. I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL SEEN IT A MILLION TIMES WITH YOUR IN YOUR CAPACITY AS BOARD MEMBERS OF MAKING SAFE ACCESS TO THE PLAY SPACE, BUT NOT COVERING THAT AREA WITH TOO MANY. ROUTES OF TRAVEL, SO WE TRIED TO FIND A LITTLE BROWN THERE. BUT THE OTHER LIKE THOSE THREE SIDEWALKS THAT ARE LEADING TO THE PLAYGROUND, WOULD THERE BE LIKE CURB CUTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET ACCESSIBILITY, A STANDARD CURVE CUT, BUT LIKE A RAMP WITH A RAMP TO THIS THE ONLY OTHER CONSIDERATION. I MEAN, I'M THINKING AS FAR AS HAVING A SIDEWALK ON THE PERIMETER IS IT'S KIND OF LIKE A MENTAL BARRIER LIKE IF YOUR KIDS RUNNING AND PLAYING IN THE BALL'S GOING TOWARDS THE STREET , THEY GET HIT THE SIDEWALK AND IT'LL GO BETTER STUFF, YOU KNOW? LOOK SO, UM BUT BESIDES ACCESSIBILITY, I THINK THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN A THE SIDEWU ENVISION FOR WALKWAYS TO THE PLAYGROUND. WE DO? YEAH, JUST TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF FORMALITY. AND ALSO THERE, MAYBE FAMILIES THAT WANT TO. MAYBE JUST. PARK THEMSELVES IN ONE QUADRANT OF THIS, AND IT DOES CREATE SOME USE ZONES FOR THE
[00:25:09]
PARK SPACE. VERY SUBTLE, BUT IT UM IT DOES CREATE THAT. THAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITY. I GUESS WE DID. AND I DON'T I'M GONNA OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS BY SAYING. UM ONE THOUGHT THAT WE DID HAVE WAS TO, UM, DO A STANDARD CURB CUT AS YOU ASKED HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE AND THEN GO TO A CRUSHED FINE. GRAVEL PATH MUCH LIKE YOU CAN SEE. FOR EXAMPLE, REGIONS SQUARE THAT WOULD BE EDGED. THAT WOULD JUST BRING YOU TO THAT CENTER AREA BECAUSE IT IS A LITTLE BIT GENTLER, UH THAN THIS ABRUPT CONCRETE THAT BISECTS THE AREA SO WE WOULD WE WOULD PROBABLY PREFER TO DO THAT. BUT I DON'T WHO'S WHO MAKES THE FINAL CALL ON THAT ONE, SO I'LL JUST SORT OF BLANKLY STARE AROUND THE ROOM. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL NOW THEIR HEAD. UM BUT BUT THAT'S ANOTHER THOUGHT TO TRY TO LESSEN THAT THAT IMPACT. WE'RE TRYING TO STRIKE A BALANCE HERE OF KEEPING THIS NINE ACRES IS AS NATURAL AS WE CAN. BUT AS HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT. UM SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE THERE. I HAVE A QUESTIONS, CURIOSITY MORE THAN ANYTHING. WHAT ARE THE PILES OF SOIL THAT ARE ON THE PROPERTIES NOW THAT HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE LAST FALL BROUGHT THOSE IN IN DECEMBER? UM IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN , IT WAS EARLY DECEMBER. THEY ARE WE HAVE SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT LOW SPOTS WHERE THE ROADS GOING IN WE HAD SOME EXCESS SOIL THAT WAS QUITE GOOD IN TERMS OF COMPATIBLE ENGINEERED SOIL. SO WE BROUGHT THAT ONTO SITE AND ANTICIPATION OF USING IT TO HELP BUILD THE ROAD OUT. WE HAVE ABOUT 2.5 FT. OF ROAD BED THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD UP FROM WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S NOT OBVIOUS WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT FROM THE CURB, BUT WE'RE STOCKPILING THAT FOR FUTURE. IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT WAS, BUT THEY JUST SORT OF APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. IT WAS IT WAS PLANNED EVENT. UM WE WOULD LOVE TO BE USING THAT SOIL RIGHT NOW. BUT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE HOPE THAT WE'RE DOING THAT VERY SOON. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND, SO I APPRECIATE IT BEING DESIGNED FOR LITTLER KIDS. BUT OBVIOUSLY, IF THEY'RE OLDER KIDS, YOU KNOW THERE'S NOTHING REALLY THERE TO ACCOMMODATE THEM. DID YOU THINK ABOUT AT ALL? TRYING TO VARY THE USE FOR OLDER CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS. BUT YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK THE PLAY STRUCTURE. UM DOES LEND ITSELF TO AND PROBABLY AN OLDER AGE GROUP. WE THINK BASED ON THE CONFIGURATION OF THE HOMES THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUNG FAMILIES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, SO WE TRIED TO MATCH THE PLAYGROUND DESIGNED TO THE LIKELY DEMOGRAPHIC OF WHO'S GOING TO BE LIVING THERE AND TRYING TO ALSO BALANCE THAT WITH ANY RISK OF ATTRACTIVE NUISANCE THAT WOULD BRING FOLKS IN FROM OUTSIDE. IT'S A TOUGH ANSWER, BUT I THINK WE JUST TRIED TO HIT THE RIGHT. YOU KNOW THE RIGHT SWEET SPOT. I HAVE A FEELING THAT IF MY DAUGHTER IS IN SEVENTH GRADE, I HAVE A FEELING THAT SHE AND HER FRIENDS WOULD PLOP THEMSELVES RIGHT DOWN ON THIS THING AND DO WHAT THEY DO BEST, WHICH IS PROBABLY GOSSIPING AND TALKING ABOUT WHATEVER THEY'RE GONNA DO TOMORROW FOR A SLEEPOVER FIFTH GRADER IN A POCKET PARK, AND SHE CAN'T FIT INTO THE LITTLE HOUSE ANYMORE, AND SHE'S QUITE DISTRESSED BECAUSE THERE'S NOT REALLY A SPACE FOR HER TO HANG OUT WITH HER FRIENDS. AND TO THAT POINT WE DID WORK WITH THE DESIGNERS ON THIS TO TRY TO KEEP THIS AS OPEN AIR AS WE CAN, BECAUSE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.SOME OF THESE DESIGNS ARE SO AGE SPECIFIC THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT YOURSELF INTO IT, YOU KNOW, HOLD THIS BIG TO GET THROUGH IT, SO WE TRIED TO MAKE THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO A BROADER AGE GROUP WITHOUT BEING TOO RESTRICTIVE. WELL THE H O A OF FOR THIS COMMUNITY ALLOW INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS TO HAVE THEIR OWN PHOTO. THERE IS A RESTRICTION THAT HAS NOT BEEN SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT. OKAY WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO LIMIT. UM. TEMPORARY STRUCTURES. UM SO NO NO TEMPORARY BASKETBALL COURTS OR, UM, WHY AM I TRYING TO BLANK ON TRAMPOLINES? YOU KNOW THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, BUT IF THEY ELECT TO PUT IN A SWING SET OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THEN THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED BY THE H O A, UM, ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, SO NOT EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED BUT NOT APPROVED WITHOUT CONDITION EITHER. OKAY AND THE REASON WHY I ASK IS BECAUSE WE JUST DID OUR PARK LAST YEAR. UM AND OUR NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT, ALL THE KIDS, THEY WANT MORE SWINGS, AND I JUST DON'T SEE ANY. YEAH, I ONLY TO YOUR POINT, YOU KNOW? I PROMISED MY KIDS THAT I WOULD GET THAT PART UP AND GOING AND GET IT FOR KIDS OVER FIVE YEARS OLD. AND THAT WAS LIKE FOUR YEARS AFTER SO BY THE TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO USE IT, THEY STILL DO. UM BUT
[00:30:05]
THE SWINGS WERE A BIG HIT, AND THEY WERE AWFUL. AND NOW WE HAVE TWICE AS MANY SWINGS AND THEY'RE STILL AWFUL, AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE I DID AN ALTERNATIVE DESIGN ON SWINGS. YOU WOULDN'T MIND LIKE A ZONE. IT WAS IT WOULD IS THERE? CAN WE GO BACK? AND NOT TO TOTALLY REDESIGN YOUR SPACE. BUT JUST THAT ONE THING THAT COMES OUT IF YOU KILL THAT YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE SOME ACTUALLY DOUBLED. THE ALMOST DOUBLED THE SIZE OF THE LAY DOWN AREA BECAUSE OF THE SWING ITSELF . IT WAS WAY WAY BIGGER THAN EVEN I HAD ANTICIPATED WHEN WE LOOKED AT, AND THAT WAS ONLY FOR THREE SWINGS. IT JUST DIDN'T SEEM THAT THE PAYOFF WAS THERE. IT WAS COST NEUTRAL, SO THERE WAS NO COST BENEFIT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER TO DO IT, BUT IT JUST MADE THE PARK SO BIG AND I'M THRILLED THAT WE HAVE THE SCREEN SPACE, BUT CANDIDLY, I WANT TO TRY TO BALANCE IT WITH SOME OF THE NATURAL CONDITIONS THAT ARE THERE. HELPS BIG IS THE GREEN SPACES IT AN ACRE IS IT? I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE SCALE OF ACTUAL GREEN SPACE TO PULL MY DRAWING UP BECAUSE I THINK IT'S LISTED ON THERE. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE FROM THE CITY KIND OF CITY THAT QUESTION TRAINING AND THROUGH UM. THE PARKLAND. THE PARK LANDER, ALL OF IT. JUST THE GREEN SPACE IN THE CENTER RESERVE. SEE IN THIS CENTER IS ABOUT 17,000 SQUARE FEET. YES SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE LESS THAN A HALF. OKAY, OKAY. WHEN WE WERE REDOING OURS. THE COMPLAINT WAS THAT WE DON'T TAKE UP. SO MUCH SPACE BECAUSE THE KIDS LOVE TO LIKE KICK THE SOCCER BALL. AND IF EVERYTHING IS LIKE RIGHT IN THE CENTER IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. MAYBE PULLING THE SWING SET ONE WAY OR AT THE PLAYGROUND. FORWARD OR BACKWARDS SO THAT THEY COULD PLACE DOCTRINE THROUGH THE BALL AND IT'S JUST I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THAT. I THINK IT'S A IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE TRADE OFF DECISIONS. SURE, YEAH, WE'RE NOT. HARD UM FURMAN AND BEING IN THE IN THE DEAD CENTER OF THE PARK. BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT, IT'S SORT OF POSES SOME OTHER CHALLENGES IF WE MOVE IT NORTH. THEN IT KIND OF ADVERSELY. EITHER FAVORS OR AFFECTS THE PROPERTIES TO THE NORTH, SO WE WANTED TO TRY TO BE AS EQUAL AS WE COULD, WITH THE NINE HOMES, SORT OF EQUALLY SHARING THE PARK SPACE VISUALLY AS WELL AS ACCESSIBLE. UM, WE COULD MOVE IT FURTHER SOUTH. BUT THEN THAT SORT OF DETRACTS FROM THE ENTRY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO AFTER SOME EVALUATION, WE FELT THE BEST SOLUTION WAS TO KEEP IT IN THE CENTER. AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ACTIVE A LOT OF THE POCKET PARKS OR I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT I'M THINKING FOR NINE HOMES.THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST COMMUNITY DRAW. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? ESPECIALLY THE LOCATION ON CENTRAL COLLEGE, SO I LIKE THE IDEA THAT IT'S VERY BALANCED LOOKING GIVE YOU SURPRISED. I'M A STOP ON OUR WALK. YEAH HOW MANY? HOW MANY DR . PARK THERE TO CHECK OUT THE PARKS. THEY SUSPECT PEOPLE WILL DO WHEN THEY SEE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IF THEY'RE ON THAT LEADER TRAIL, IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME THAT PEOPLE WILL WILL CUT IN. I KNOW THAT WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNGER, THE PARK IT, UM AGAIN. WOODS BOULEVARD, RIGHT ? THERE WAS THAT EASY PASSERSBY WHEN YOU'RE WALKING FROM, YOU KNOW THE CENTER OF TOWN SOUTH AND WE STOPPED THERE ALL THE TIME. EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T EXPLICITLY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE INBOUND. BUT I DO THINK THIS WILL GET SOME OUTSIDE USE AND WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO THAT AGAIN TRYING TO BE YOU HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? BALANCING ALL OF THESE THESE CRITERIA? IT SEEMS TO BE THE TRICKIEST PART ABOUT THESE KINDS OF, UM DEVELOPMENTS BECAUSE IT IS A IT WILL BE A NICE IMPROVEMENT OVER. YOU KNOW WHAT'S THERE RIGHT NOW? AND THAT IS GOING TO DRAW PEOPLE IN, BUT IT IS ULTIMATELY STILL TRYING TO PREFERENCE A LITTLE BIT OF PRIVACY AND IN HOUSTON, CHINA BY THE NINE HOMES THAT WE'RE BUILDING THERE. AND THEN I DON'T KNOW IF I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA JUST LIKE THIS LITTLE STUB THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HIT 605 AT SOME POINT THAT MIGHT GO BEHIND.
BE SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT USE THAT LITTLE NUB IS A PARKING LOT TO GO FISHING LIKE WE HAVE THAT ISSUE, SO JUST YEAH , IT JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR HOMEOWNERS IS YOU'RE TRYING TO SELL IT. THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE CONCERNING. EXCUSE ME. AND YOU'RE ANTICIPATING A MILLION PLUS FOR THESE HOMES, TARGET SALES PRICE IS GOING TO BE RIGHT AROUND AT 1.3 TO 1.4 MILLION PER THAT'S OUR THAT'S OUR OKAY? YOU SAID THERE WILL BE BENCHES CORRECT. WHERE RECOMMENDING A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT THEY HAD THEM, OKAY. I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION REGARDING THE PLAYGROUND. I LIKE THE IDEA ALSO OF SAYING PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO MOVE OUT AFTER THEIR KIDS ARE FIVE. AND SO I LIKE HOW THAT SLIDING STUFF IS OPEN AIR LIKE
[00:35:05]
YOU SAID. PROBABLY OLDER KIDS CAN USE IT. THE I'M WONDERING ABOUT THE PIGS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S CALLED. LOOKS LIKE PIERS CLUSTER, I THINK. YEAH, YEAH. I WONDER. HAVE YOU LIKE THE FOUR FT HIGH ROCKS? I THINK THERE'S ONE AT ROCKY. FOR CREEK. AND UM, SO THAT'S A BIGGER KID THING CLIMBING THE ROCK, BUT IT MAY NOT TAKE UP AS MUCH SPACE AS SWINGS. DO. JUST TRYING TO GET OLDER KIDS STUFF IN THERE. THAT WAS. THIS IS PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT I THINK WILL KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING HERE. HERE. I THINK THIS WILL PROBABLY GRAB A LARGER AUDIENCE. I LIKED IT JUST BECAUSE IT HAD UH, A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A NATURAL FEEL TO IT, YOU KNOW IT. DIDN'T IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE SOMETHING ARTIFICIAL. AS FAR AS THAT WAS CONCERNED, UM IT'S HARD WITH THESE SELECTING EQUIPMENT. LIKE I SAID, SOME OF THEM ARE STATES DRIVEN. SOME OF THEM ARE AGE DRIVEN SO UM I'M NOT SURE THAT WE COULDN'T SWAP IT OUT. BUT THAT WAS AN EFFORT TO KIND OF MEET HIM, RODDY. SO I'M NOT SURE GOOD QUESTION OR NOT, BUT, UM, IF YOU'RE ASKING WHETHER THAT COULD BE SWAPPED OUT COULD, BUT WE WERE ALSO TRYING TO FIND I THINK WE ALSO WANT TO SELECT, UM, COMPONENTS THAT HAVE A SIMILAR KIND OF NATURAL WOOD LOOKING AESTHETIC. YEAH THAT'S REALLY, REALLY CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HEAVILY WOODED. UM AND SO WE JUST KIND OF AROUND THAT. ALMOST AS IF HE LOOKED LIKE RECLAIMED BLOGS. MM HMM. I'VE GOT ONE MORE QUESTION. SORRY. THE POND. I KNOW THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF PONDS AROUND AND DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT I'M THINKING OF LIKE, UM OVER TO THE TWO FISHING POUNDS ARE UP ABOUT HAMPTON PARK IN THAT AREA, LIKE THEY'RE ALL THEY ALL SEEM TO BE A LITTLE BIT SEPARATED FROM THE NEIGHBORHOODS BY LIKE A ROAD USUALLY OR EMBANKMENT. SOMETIMES THEY'RE GOING TO BE ANYTHING CONSIDERING THERE ARE GOING TO BE LITTLE KIDS, AND THERE'S NOT REALLY ANYTHING IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE GREEN SPACE BETWEEN LOT ONE AND THE POND LIKE ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT INTERNAL INTERIOR, FENCING OR OTHER PLANTINGS THERE TO KIND OF CREATE MORE OF A NATURAL BARRIER? WE'RE NOT THINKING OF FENCING BECAUSE ALSO THAT CREATES AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE ISSUE AS WELL, UM, THE ROAD ITSELF TO YOUR POINT IS DESIGNED TO EVENTUALLY BE INSTALLED TO CREATE THAT. YOU KNOW THAT? THAT VISUAL BARRIER SO, UM, IT IS THE POND ITSELF IS BENCHED. SO IT GOES IN THE GOES IN VERY SHALLOW BEFORE IT FALLS JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY DOES. YOU KNOW WADE THEIR WAY IN A LITTLE BIT.THERE'S NO THERE'S NO HEDWALL IN THERE BY ANY MEANS. UM WE'RE JUST RETAINING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF STORMWATER RUNOFF IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO CREATE A FISHING POND OR A YOU KNOW, A DEPTH THAT WOULD BE DESIRABLE FOR FISH, WHICH SIMPLY TRYING TO RETAIN THE STORM WATER IN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY POSSIBLE. I WOULD JUST SAY TO IT'S TYPICAL FOR I THINK ALL STORMWATER BASINS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF AQUATIC VEGETATION AS YOU GET CLOSE TO LIKE THE WATER LEVEL, SO IT GOES FROM YOUR TYPICAL TURF GRASS TO MORE AQUATIC PLANTS. UM, THAT EITHER YOU KNOW, GROW UP OR SHOULD GROW OUT , AND I THINK JUST VISUALLY BECOMES LESS INVITING TO, YOU KNOW, TO JUMP IN OR SWIMMING, AND IT SEEMS A BIT MORE OF LIKE AT LEAST A VISUAL BARRIER IN THAT SENSE AS WELL, SURE, YEAH, LIKE LILY PADS AND MM. CAT TAILS , TOO, AND OTHER PLACES, AND I THINK IT'S SORT OF A BALANCE OF PROVIDING BECAUSE THE THOUGHT IS THAT THAT YOU KNOW, THEY NATURALLY SHAPED THEY'RE DESIGNED AND SO IT IS SOMEPLACE THAT CAN BE AN AQUATIC PLACE AND SO BALANCING THOSE NATURAL PLANTINGS, SO MAYBE THERE COULD BE SOME SORT OF, UM, UM YOU KNOW, AQUATIC OF LIFE, YOU KNOW, HAPPENING AND THEN AFTER FISHING , PER SE, RIGHT, BUT FOR OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPEN NATURALLY, WE DEFINITELY WANT TO DISCOURAGE FISHING FOR THE SAME REASON THAT PROBABLY A LOT OF OTHER LOCATIONS. DO IT JUST CREATES RISK. YEAH I'M JUST THINKING IT'S A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IF WE'RE TARGETING YOUNG FAMILIES, THERE'S NOT REALLY LIKE A LOT. I JUST WORRY ABOUT KIDS GETTING CLOSE. IF THERE'S NOT LIKE AN EMBANKMENT UP TO GET, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A VISUAL TO GET UP OVER TO GET TO THE POND, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LIKE IN SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THEY HAVE JUST TWO IF THERE'S A LITTLE KID RUNNING AROUND AND A MOM IS DISTRACTED OR SOMETHING, AND THE KID GOES TOWARDS THE POND, I DON'T KNOW. WOULD THERE BE ANY LEISURE TRAILS LIKE ON THE PERIMETER OF THE POND OR YEAH, NO. IN FACT, WE'RE NOT REALLY TRYING TO PROMOTE A LOT OF INTERACTION WITH THE POND. YEAH THERE IS A IT'S THERE, AND THEY
[00:40:06]
AND ENGINEERING REQUIREMENT WHICH WE UNDERSTAND AND EXCEPT THAT IT'S THERE, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO STEVE'S POINT. LET IT GO NATURAL AND JUST NOT REALLY DRAW PEOPLE TO IT. WE DON'T WANT YOU KNOW WHAT WE WILL INSTALL, LIKE A NO FISHING SIGN LIKE THERE IS THE NEAR THE COUNTRY CLUB UP THERE. WE JUST STARTED TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT INVITING ANYONE TO INTERACT WITH THE POND, WHICH IS WHY WE RESISTED HEAVY LANDSCAPING, LEISURE TRAIL AND ANY OF THOSE THINGS TO GO ALONG WITH THEIR PERSONAL ANTIDOTE WE HAVE UPON IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A LEISURE RETAIL THAT GOES AROUND IT. AND MY WHEN MY CHILD WAS LEARNING HOW TO RIDE A BIKE. HE ACTUALLY RODE HIS BIKE INTO YOU GO TELL YOU THAT THE SHALLOW THAT HE'S ZERO ENTRY FEATURE WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THIS ONE WILL HAVE WAS EFFECTIVE. HE WAS JUST VERY DIRTY. SO YES. I MEAN, THERE CAN BE SIGNS ALL DAY LONG. BUT YOU KNOW IF YOU GO ON A SUNNY DAY DOWN BY THE POND BY THE WE CALL IT THE WOODEN BRIDGE , YOU KNOW BY THE COUNTRY CLUB. THERE'S ALWAYS KIDS FISHING, SO THEY'RE DRAINAGE. THEY CAN DRAIN. AROUND THE POINT. IS IT JUST A POND OR IS THERE LIKE DRAINS AND DARK? THERE WILL BE AN INLET AND OUTLET SO THE POND WILL MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT LEVEL AT ALL TIMES. UM EVEN IN IN THE STORM WATER SITUATION, IT WILL RISE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE HEAD WALL AND THEN IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO ANY FURTHER BECAUSE THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED AN OVERFLOW AND THEN ALL OF THE HOMES THEMSELVES FROM THE CATCH BASINS OF THE STREET. THOSE WILL THOSE WILL ALL FLOW TO THE, UM TO THE POND. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FEEDING IT, KEEPING THE WATER LEVEL AT THE RIGHT LEVEL, AND THEN THE SPILLWAY WILL KEEP IT FROM GOING. FLOODING OVER THAT. OKAY. NOW THERE ARE YOU KNOW, 100 YEAR EVENTS WHERE IT'S ALLOWED TO GO A LITTLE HIGHER BASED ON THE RATE OF RUNOFF, BUT THAT'S ALL BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY ENGINEERS IN TERMS OF CONFORMANCE WITH ALL THE OTHER. UM YOU KNOW, WATER SOURCES IN THE COMMUNITY. MAYBE THIS IS THE CITY OF PLANNING COMMISSION. BUT JUST BEING MINDFUL WHEN THAT DOES HAPPEN OF UM, TO YOUR POINT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SAFER UPON. I KNOW IN THE LINKS ON NINE. WE HAVE THE SQUARE DRAIN AND THE KIDS LOVE TO JUMP ON IT, AND IT TERRIFIES ME. AND THERE WAS ALSO A BIG TUNNEL THAT GOES UNDER IT, AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH WILL BE WALKING BY. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING. BUT IF YOU STAND THERE, IT'S BIG. THE KIDS LIKE TO CRAWL IN IT, AND IT'S FRIGHTENING. SO JUST LIKE, KEEP BEING MINDFUL OF THIS. I WAS A KID. I KNOW, RIGHT? YEAH IT JUST SCARES THE HECK OUT OF ME, YOU GUYS KNOW I'M A TERRIBLE ROLE MODEL ANY OF US SURVIVED. BUT JUST, YOU KNOW, SINCE IT IS SO CLOSE TO THE STREET AND SO CLOSE TO THE LEISURE TRAIL, MAYBE JUST BEING MINDFUL OF SAFETY FEATURES AROUND THE PAN JUST TO MINIMIZE ANY WE WILL NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF OKAY. ACCESSIBILITY ARE A OUTLET IS I THINK I'M GOING FROM MEMORY, BUT I THINK IT'S A 14 INCH OUTLET. SO YOU'D HAVE TO REALLY SQUEEZE IN THERE. OKAY? KIDS WOULDN'T BE UP TO IT, BUT THEY HAVE TO WORK REALLY HARD.YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S GREAT. UM LIGHTING WILL BE LIGHTING AT THE PARK, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT WHEN KIDS TEENAGERS MIGHT TEND TO CONGREGATE WHERE THEY SHOULD. WE WILL HAVE, UM, WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE I BELIEVE, UM, THREE STREETLIGHTS. EXCUSE ME, UM IN THE ON THE PERIMETER AS WE COME IN, SO THOSE WILL PROVIDE UM YOU KNOW ANY ANY ILLUMINATION, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO LIGHT THE PARK SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THEN IT ENDS UP BEING IN THE FRONT WINDOWS OF THE HOMES. YOU KNOW IF IT'S LIT SO ALL THE WAY AROUND. YEAH, BUT BASED ON THE LENGTH OF THE ROAD, LIKE I SAID, IT'S ONLY I BELIEVE IT'S THREE. OKAY, UM THAT ARE REQUIRED BECAUSE YOU WILL GET COMPLAINTS.
COMPLAINTS WERE JUST TEENAGERS CONGREGATING. IF IT'S NOT WELL IF PEOPLE LOOK OUT AND SEE WHO'S OUT THERE I THINK YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BASED ON THE ON THE COVERAGE OF THOSE LIGHTS. I MEAN, THERE'LL BE AT LEAST TWO UH, ONE OF THE ENTRY AND PROBABLY HERE AND HERE OR HERE AND HERE. MORE THAN LIKELY. I MEAN, I THINK IT WILL BE LIT BOTH WITH THE POST LAMPS ON THE INDIVIDUAL HOMES AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, ON THE STREET , I THINK HAVE POST LAND, SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY WELL LIT, BUT WE'RE NOT TRYING TO INTRODUCE EXCESS LIGHTING JUST BECAUSE THEN IT DOESN'T FEEL AS PRIVATE AND AS QUIET IN THE EVENINGS WHEN YOU DO WANT TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF, AND THEY'RE THEY'RE RUNNING ALL NIGHT AND THEN THIS PARTICULAR AREA. IT IS ONE OF THE LAST FEW AREAS IN THE CITY WHERE YOU CAN LOOK UP IN THE SKY TONIGHT WITHOUT A LOVE LIGHT POLLUTION. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT. TRYING TO KEEP IT AT THE HOUSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. DID YOU SAY THEY WILL HAVE A TRASH CAN? WAS THAT ANOTHER CONDITION? YES SO THE CONDITION RECOMMENDATION IN THE STAFF
[00:45:04]
REPORT WAS FOR COMFORT AMENITIES FOR ALL AGES, BENCHES, PICNIC TABLES, TRASH CANS. THOSE SORT OF THINGS DOGGY POO STATION. CAN YOU THROW THAT IN THERE BECAUSE THEY WILL LEAVE THEM. SURE YOU CAN ACTUALLY WILL. YEAH. AND I LOVE THAT YOU'RE PRESERVING TREES. I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT I DON'T THINK THAT'S ENOUGH. ATTENTION SOMETIMES FROM NEW DEVELOPMENT, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ANYBODY ELSE? HMM. I THINK THIS IS A WELL PLANNED COMMUNITY . UM LIKE I SAID, I LIKE THE IDEA THAT THE DENSITY IS NOT SO INTENSE. AND SO WITH THAT QUESTION. I WOULD. I DON'T KNOW THE OFFICIAL WAY TO DO THIS. BUT IF THERE WAS A WAY TO ASK FOR CONDITION OF APPROVAL, INCLUDING EVEN MAKING THOSE TALLER FOR BIGGER KIDS THAT WOULDN'T BE TOO BIG OF A CHANGE, BUT SOMETHING FOR ELECTRIC OLDER KIDS LIKE WHERE YOU'RE GOING WITH IT, OR MAYBE I KNOW WE HAVE WORKED WITH MIXTAPES BEFORE AND THEY MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THAT MAYBE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THE CIRCLES. MAYBE THERE'S A PATH WHERE THEY JUMP FROM ONE TO THE OTHER INSTEAD OF HAVING JUST A TINY LITTLE CLUSTER. BECAUSE THAT DOES THAT COME WITH THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN? UH SO THERE'S NO FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THIS, BUT YOU CAN CERTAINLY ADD THAT AS A CONDITION AND IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT SUBJECT TO STAFF APPROVAL, WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE APPLICANT TO FIND THAT RIGHT BALANCE. BASED ON THE FEEDBACK WE'RE GETTING TONIGHT JUST SOMEHOW INCORPORATED FEATURE THAT INCLUDES CHILDREN UP TO 12. MAYBE JUST ONE. SURE YOU CAN. IF YOU WANT TO ADD ANOTHER CONDITION, YOU CAN MAKE THAT A CONDITION THAT THEY WORK WITH STAFF TO, UM PROVIDED EQUIPMENT FOR OLDER CHILDREN, AND, UM DOGGY PICKUP STATIONS, IF YOU SAID YOU APPRECIATE THAT. YOUR NEIGHBOR YOUR PLANTS WILL ANYWAY IS THE APPLICANT IQ EARLY , OTHER CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. OKAY WITH THE APPLICANT, OKAY?

MEETING. SO WE ASKED THAT CHAIRPERSON, VICE CHAIRPERSON AND SECRETARY INCLUDING ESTABLISHING TIMES AND DATES FOR THE 2013 REGULAR MEETINGS BE ESTABLISHED.

ROLL CALL FOR EACH, SO I BELIEVE IT TO THE CHAIR. TUNA TO GUESS I COULD MAKE IT EASY. I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN. CAN I NOMINATE MYSELF? I WAS GOING TO NOMINATE GEORGE AND HE'S OKAY WITH THAT. SO I GUESS I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE KEEP THE CURRENT, UM THREE FOLKS IN PLACE SINCE THE REST OF THE BOARD IS BRAND NEW.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO ADD. JUST REAL QUICK IF THE BOARD CAN MAKE A MOTION TO KEEP THE SAME DATE IN TIME FOR THE 2023 REGULAR MEETINGS. THAT'S JUST THE LAST ITEM SO THIS BOARD MEETS MONDAYS AT SIX PM ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS FOR CASES AND I THINK THERE'S JUST A FEW EXCEPTIONS DURING THE YEAR WHERE THERE'S A HOLIDAY FOURTH OF JULY.

SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE PRESENT HAS TO BE IN PERSON YOU CANNOT ATTEND. VIRTUALLY, UM UH, AND IN ORDER TO STAY ON THE BOARD AND MAINTAIN, UM REMEMBER SHIP. YOU'RE ENCOURAGED TO COME TO ALL THE MEETINGS AND IF YOU'RE MISSED THREE CONSECUTIVE MEETINGS OR FOUR MEETINGS WITHIN 12 MONTH PERIOD, JUST WANNA REMIND YOU THE COUNCIL CAN REMOVE YOU AND REPLACE YOU ON THE BOARD. SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU'RE HERE. AH AS MUCH AS PASSPORT. LET SOMEONE KNOW WHEN THE QUORUM CALLS GO, FORUM CALL GOES OUT THAT YOU'RE OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE. OKAY THAT'S A GOOD REMINDER. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE FOUR MEETINGS A YEAR. UM IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WAS SNAPPED POINTED DO ANY TYPE OF UPDATE ON THE LEISURE TRAIL. YEAH WE CAN DO IT QUICK, UPDATES, OF COURSE AND FIRST MONDAY. WE ALSO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS AT SEVEN AND USUALLY DON'T HAVE THESE BACK TO BACK MEETINGS. I APOLOGIZE THAT WE'RE KIND OF RUNNING SHORT ON TIME HERE BUT HAPPY TO GO THROUGH THE LATEST AND GREATEST PRAYER, THE LEISURE TRAIL MASTER PLAN AND PARKS FRAMEWORK PLAN COMING IMPLEMENTATION STANDPOINTS. SO THE LEISURE TRAIL MASTER PLAN IS ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT THE STAFF AND THIS BOARD USES TO EVALUATE. SO JUST AS A REMINDER THIS PLAN PRIORITIZES CORRIDORS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, UM, WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTIONS SO EITHER CORRIDORS OR LOOPS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO COMPLETE THOSE LEISURE TRAIL CONNECTIONS. THEN ABOUT I WOULD SAY IF YOU'RE LIKE FOUR OR FIVE YEARS, THE PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD WILL PRIORITIZE THOSE LOOPS IN CORRIDORS AND SO THIS IS FROM LAST YEAR'S PRIORITY UPDATES, AND WE ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE
[00:55:02]
REALLY ANY UPDATES FROM LAST YEAR AND FORTUNATELY JUST DUE TO CAN CONSTRUCTION TIMELINES, UM AND HOLD BACKS FROM INFLATION AND CONTRACTOR SHORTAGES, UM, A LOT OF THE THINGS WE WERE HOPING TO GET DONE LAST SUMMER OR FALL GOT PUSHED BACK TO THE SPRING. BUT WE DID GET THE U. S 62 NEAR 1 61 THE FIRST PHASE OF THAT DONE NEAR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND THEN IF YOU ACTUALLY GO TO TAYLOR FARM PARK ON THE WEST SIDE, YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE A BUNCH OF STACKED LUMBER. THAT'S FOR THE BOARDWALK. AND THERE'S ACTUALLY THAT BOARDWALK IS STARTING TO GO IN AT JUST WEST OF HARLEM AND NORTH OF DUBLIN, GRANVILLE SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT NOW IT'S EXCITING TO SEE THAT IS GOING IN. AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING. WE HOPE TO COMPLETE THIS YEAR. AND THEN, UH , THE CITY IS FINALIZING THE DESIGN FOR ROSE RUN PART TWO. SO ROSE FROM PARK ON THIS BEHIND THE LIBRARY AND PART TWO IS WHAT WE CALL BEHIND THIS BUILDING HERE AND SO THAT WILL INCLUDE MANY OTHER FEATURES. IN ADDITION TO THE BELT, LOOP EXTENSION AND LEISURE PATH WILL ALSO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE VETERANS MEMORIAL AND A PARKING DECK AS WELL FOR CIVIC USES THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE CENTER, SOME MORE TO COME ON THAT. AND WE'LL KEEP YOU APPRISED. AND THEN, UH, REAL QUICK TO THE PARKS FRAMEWORK PLAN, SO THIS PLAN IDENTIFIES. UM I GUESS AT THE TIME, THE EXISTING CITY PARKS UM AND SOME PRIVATE PARKS AS WELL, AND THIS PLAN LIST THEM OUT TALKS ABOUT OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE AND SO FEEL FREE TO REFER TO THIS TO SEE IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE THERE'S OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS LIKE THE ONE YOU HEARD. YEAH ABOUT TONIGHT. THIS OUTLINES AND PROVIDES, UM YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY LOCATIONS BUT THEIR AGE AND ALSO PROVIDES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UPGRADES FOR EACH OF THOSE PARKS . SO LAST YEAR, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED FUNDING. UM AND THERE WAS UPGRADES MADE TO FOUR PARKS OF NORTH NORTH OF WOODS, JAMES RIVER. SUMPTION AND BYINGTON. UM IN ADDITION TO THE LINKS ONE, WHICH I THINK IS, UM, SUBMISSION ASSUMPTION. THANKS YEAH. WE USED TO CALL IT DOUBLE HAMMER. BUT THEN THEY BUILT LEVEL HAMMERS. SO WE CALL IT ASSUMPTION. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH I FELT LIKE I WAS LIVING IN THE PAST THERE. SO COMPLETED FIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK UPGRADES AGAIN. THESE WERE PARKS WELL ESTABLISHED. SOME OF THESE WERE 20 PLUS YEARS OLD. AND THIS WAS TO ADDRESS UM, PRIMARILY MAINTENANCE CONCERNS FROM RESIDENTS WHO ARE USING THEM AND ALSO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF USES THAT GREAT COMMENTS HERE TONIGHT ABOUT THOSE TARGETED AGES. SO WHAT WE'VE DONE AS THE CITY IS DIVERSIFY THE AGE RINGS, SO WE'RE TARGETING 2 TO 5 AND SOME PARKS AND THEN 5 TO 12 YEAR OLDS AND OTHER PARTS. EVERYBODY HAS A VARIETY. AND SO THIS YEAR WE HOPE TO COMPLETE THE PLANTER'S GROVE PARK AND LAMPTON PARK AS WELL. FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS. I MENTIONED ROSE RUN PARK, SO THAT'S GOING TO START UNDER ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION HERE AND THEN TAILOR FARM PARK AS WELL. THIS WILL BE A PASSIVE PARK. UM SO WE'RE DOING THE FISHER TRAIL AND PARKING LOT FIRST, THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL AMENITIES ADDED IN THE FUTURE AS PHASE TWO. THE LEISURE TRAIL IS JUST PHASE ONE. UM BUT CERTAINLY AS THOSE THOUGHTS AND PLANS CONTINUE TO PROGRESS WILL KEEP THIS BOARD UPDATED AS WELL. IS THERE A TIMELINE FOR KITZMILLER? IS THAT THERE'S NO TIMELINE ASSOCIATED FOR KITZMILLER, IS IT ? IT IS IN THE PARKS FRAMEWORK, PLAYING AS A RECOMMENDED UM, PARK IN THE FUTURE TO PROVIDE, YOU KNOW EVEN MORE ACTIVE AMENITIES ALONG THAT, BUT THERE'S BEEN NO FUNDING AND, UM , NO CONCEPT PLANS COMPLETED OR I GUESS ONE CONCEPT PLANE COMPLETED TO THE TO THE STATE. I KNOW IT CAME UP IN THE TOWN HALL LAST YEAR, SO IT'S JUST CURIOUS. I'M GLAD TO SEE IT STILL UP THERE. YEAH BASED ON RESIDENT FEEDBACK, THE CITY HAS BEEN PRIORITIZING THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND TARGETED TO RENOVATE AND REDO ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND TAYLOR FARM. LOTS OF SWINGS. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. LOTS OF REALLY THANK YOU. THIS SUMMER. YEAH YEAH, EVEN BETTER. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY QUESTIONS.PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME OR CHELSEA OR CHRIS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS TO RUN THROUGH THAT LITTLE BIT QUICKLY, BUT IT WAS GREAT SEEING EVERYBODY TONIGHT AND, YEAH, I HAVE A FEELING THAT YEAH, WE'LL HAVE MORE MEETINGS THAN WE DID LAST YEAR, JUST SORT OF BASED ON THE PACE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR THIS YEAR. OKAY THANK YOU WITH THAT. HOLD ON BEFORE YOU ADJOURN. JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THE STAFF IS GOING TO BE SENDING OUT A BRIEF MEMORANDUM REGARDING OPEN MEETINGS AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AMONGST BOARDS AND COMMISSION MEMBERS. SO YOU'LL GET THAT HERE SHORTLY, JUST KIND OF A REMINDER OF WHAT YOU CAN DO AND NOT DO VIA EMAIL
