JIM, IF YOU'D LIKE TO APPROACH THE PODIUM. MR BLACK WHEN YOU GET THERE IF YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS MY NAME IS KIM BLOCK. I LIVED, UH PLAIN VIEW DRIVE WILL GET MOST OF THE DOMINANT SEEN ME BEFORE I'VE BEEN UP HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WATER. AND SEWER. THAT'S ONE REASON I CAME TONIGHT. OKAY APPROACHED BY ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS THAT INFORMATION WAS FOUND. ORIGINAL BRINGS BACK IN THE EIGHTIES. THAT WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TOGETHER. THE WATER IN OKAY? I HAVEN'T BEEN UP HERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO COMPLAIN, BUT I'VE ALWAYS HEARD MUSIC WAS HERE THAT TIME IS MONEY. FOR THIS PARTICULAR OF WHAT? WE WATCHED CONSTRUCTION ALL AROUND US. BUT TELL ALWAYS HAD MONEY ROUNDABOUTS. THAT'S $14 MILLION POCKET FRIENDS. GET FOR THAT, RIGHT? THE RIGHT PRICE 14 17, ACTUALLY, BUT A LOT OF THAT WAS A ROAD A ROAD PROJECT. YEAH COME UP WITH MONEY FOR OTHER THINGS, BUT WHEN WE ASKED FOR SOMETHING WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. THERE'S NO MONEY FOR WATER. YEP. AND I JUST COME UP TO PICK YOUR MONEY. WHAT MAYBE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO OUR AREA. YEAH GOOD QUESTION. I'LL LET UH, CITY MANAGER STEFANO RESPOND IN GENERAL AND PART OF THIS COMMUNITIES THAT SOMEBODY OLDER ESTABLISHED COMMUNITIES IN NEW ALBANY. UM. BACK WHEN IT WAS A VILLAGE AS A CERTAIN WATER EXTENSION WERE MADE AVAILABLE. THERE ARE SOME TAP FEES THAT RESIDENTS HAVE TO PAY, AND I THINK THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A EFFORT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.THAT LEAST 50% OF THE RESIDENTS ARE AGREEING TO INCUR THOSE COSTS THAT THE CITY WOULD, YOU KNOW, ENTERTAIN EXTENDING THE SEWER AND WATER, BUT I'LL HAVE JOE EXPLAIN. MY MEMORY IS NOT CLEAR ON THAT ISSUE. DURING MY TENURE HERE, WHICH HAS BEEN ABOUT 23 YEARS. COUNCIL'S POLICY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT THE COUNCIL WOULD WOULD PAY FOR THE DESIGN. AND THE INSPECTION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF WATER AND SEWER LINES, BUT THAT THE HOMEOWNERS WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COST OF THE WATER AND SEWER LINES BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF THE OTHER RESIDENTS WHO HAVE BOUGHT HOMES IN SUBDIVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN BUILT DURING THAT TIME. THE COST OF THE WATER AND SEWER LINES HAS BEEN BUILT INTO THE COST OF
[00:05:01]
THEIR LOT IN THEIR HOME THAT THEY BUILT. SO, UM THAT'S BEEN THE POLICY. UH AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS MULTIPLE TIMES OVER TIME FRAME THAT HAS THAT POLICY HAS BEEN UNCHANGED. UM SO WE'RE JUST INFORMATION THAT WAS RATHER BY MY NEIGHBORS WORKED WITH THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT BACK IN 1986 . SO YOU'RE ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS CAME AND MET WITH ME. OKAY WITH OUR SERVICE DIRECTOR.THEY HAD AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THEM. WE SPOKE TO THEM AT LENGTH ABOUT THE, UH, THE INFORMATION THAT THEY PRESENTED BUT THE INFORMATION WASN'T CLEAR AS TO WHAT THE ACTUAL COMMITMENT WAS ABOUT. THE CITY, PROVIDING WATER SORE. AH I ASKED THEM IN THEIR ATTORNEY, IF THEY COULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. I HAVE CHECKED OUR FILES OVER TIME, AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT COMMITTED THE CITY TO PROVIDE WATER AND SO AT NO COST TO THE RESIDENTS. I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WOULD WANT WATER AND SUGAR BOY, SOMETHING REASONABLE BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME ONE TIME $2000 OF RESIN. LET HER GO. WAS I THINK THE LAST TIME WE AGREED TO AND NEXT TO NEW ALBANY. WITH ANTICIPATION DOWN THE ROAD. COME OUT HERE TODAY. BLACK LIQUOR CORD GOING SOUR GANGSTER WANT SARAH EVENTUALLY WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT BUT NOT FOR $50,000. THAT'S UNHEARD OF I THINK THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO YOU, IT WAS $15,000 155. OH, NO, I NEVER HEARD OF ONE. WHY? TALK TO SOMEBODY ELSE LIKE ME. I AM. AND THE ONLY REASON I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I WAS APPROACHED BY THIS NEIGHBOR THAT WELL, HE FOUND THIS INFORMATION. NOBODY ELSE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND. WHAT I SHARED WITH THEM IS THAT IF WE COULD FIND ANYTHING THAT WHERE THE CITY MADE A COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE UH, UTILITIES AT NO COST TO THE RESIDENTS. THEN I WOULD PASS THAT ON THE COUNSELOR. WE WOULD LET ME ASK YOU THIS ALL THIS BUILDING AROUND US WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOLKS PLACES RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD. I TALKED TO PEOPLE ABOUT THAT IT ALL FELL ON DEAF EARS. THEY PUT WATER AND SEWER IN OUR BACKYARD, BUT IT WOULD NOT LET US GET ACTUALLY CAME DOWN HICKSVILLE, THE ROVER. WON'T YOU BRING WATER DOWN AND PUT DID CEDAR BROOK. OKAY? TO BRING THEM. PROCEED BRO. YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE TIME. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY YEARS AGO THEY PUT FORWARD 15 YEARS OF WATER, AND THEN IT GETS MILLER PROBABLY CLOSER TO 20 OK, 20 YEARS. ACTUALLY, SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBORS IN THE PLAINVIEW SUBDIVISION HAVE RECEIVED TAPS BECAUSE OUR REQUIREMENT IF A DEVELOPER DEVELOPS AN ADJACENT PROPERTY AND THEY ARE REQUIRED TO EXTEND THE TAP TO THE TO THE PROPERTY LINE OF THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER. SO YOU ACTUALLY HAD SEVERAL RESIDENTS IN YOUR PLAINVIEW SUBDIVISION THAT HAVE ACCESS TO SANITARY, SO RIGHT NOW. PEOPLE KNOW THAT POLICE SO . NUMBER STATIONS. I TALKED TO SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS. I THINK THE GAME PLAN WAS KNOWING THAT THAT. CHALLENGING PROJECT WAS STARTING ABOUT 1975. 75 76. I THINK. PEOPLE FIGURED BY THE TIME I DON'T KNOW. MOST OF PEOPLE GONE.

REPORTS ON THE UPDATE FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION. UH QUITE A BIT. ACTUALLY I'M SITTING HERE LIKE ORGANIZING IT BECAUSE WE HAD TO MEET TO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SINCE OUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING, AND ONE WAS PARTICULARLY LENGTHY AND WE HAD QUITE A CROWD. THE ONE THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. WE HAD, UH THE REZONING FOR, UH, FOR THE 195 AND SOME ODD ACRES OF LAND THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DEALING WITH. I BELIEVE AGAIN TONIGHT. THE NORTHEAST BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT. IT IS, UH , LET'S SEE HERE WEST OF AND ADJACENT TO BEACH ROAD. NORTH OF JUG STREET AND SOUTH OF MILLER AND BUTTS UP DIRECTLY AGAINST OUR OTHER WHAT WE'VE ALREADY GOT , AS, UH AS ZONE THIS ZONE THE SAME AND WHAT WAS REQUESTED WAS THAT WE ZONE IT FROM AGRICULTURAL TO LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. WE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HERE THAT LIVE NEAR THE AREA, PARTICULARLY AROUND KLAUS ROAD CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT? HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT WHERE THEIR[00:15:01]
RESIDENTS ARE. AND SO WE HAD A LOT LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT , UH, ENDED UP PASSING. THE REZONING ENDED UP PASSING UNANIMOUSLY BY PLANNING COMMISSION AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION. UM WE THEN HAD, UH, THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM WENDY'S HERE. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. AH SOME. LET'S SEE THEY WERE LOOKING FOR SOME VARIANCES, AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL. AND THE END TRYING TO REMEMBER I FEEL LIKE THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING AT THE MOMENT HERE, THE SIGN AND THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR THEIR DRIVE THROUGH THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENDED UP UNANIMOUSLY PASSING THE CONDITIONAL USE FOR THEIR DRIVE THROUGH ENDED UP UNANIMOUSLY PASSING THEY HAD A FEW VARIANCES THAT DID NOT PASS UNANIMOUSLY.BRUCE LARSON HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT A COUPLE OF THEM, BUT EVERYONE ELSE VOTED IN FAVOR IF THEY WERE THE CONCERNS THAT BRUCE HAD, WHERE ENCROACHMENTS INTO THE PAVEMENT SETBACK. HE FELT LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A SAFETY ISSUE THERE THE SIZE OF THE DRIVE THRU MENU SIGN HE THOUGHT WAS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE, AND THE MAXIMUM LETTER HATED LETTERING HEIGHT OF THE WALL SIGN HE FELT WAS A LITTLE EXCESSIVE. BUT AGAIN, ALL OF THOSE VARIANCES INCLUDING ANOTHER VARIANCE FOR, UH, SOME LANDSCAPE DESIGN OVER ON EACH ROAD NORTH, AND, UH, THE LET ME SEE THAT EVERYTHING THERE WAS ONE OF THE THEY WILL NOT HAVE OPERABLE DOORS ON THE FRONTAGE, BUT AH, STAFF FELT THAT THAT WAS THAT MADE SENSE WITH THE DESIGN AND WITH THE WAY THAT THE TRAFFIC APPROACHES MOSTLY FROM THE REAR, AND ALSO I SHOULD SAY THAT STAFF AND PLANNING COMMISSION FELT THAT A LOT OF THESE OTHER THINGS WERE X MORE ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THEY WERE REALLY NOT VISIBLE AT ALL. FROM THE MAIN ROUTE FROM ROUTE 62. YOU WERE GOING TO BE SEEING IT ALL FROM THE SIDE PRIVATE DRIVE. SO UH, THOSE PAST AGAIN? LAST NIGHT WE HAD PLANNING COMMISSION. AND UH, THAT WAS GOING TO BE VERY LONG MEETING BUT NEW ALBANY COMPANY HAD DECIDED TO TABLE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WERE ON THAT AGENDA, SO SHORTEN THIS UP, AND WE ENDED UP DEALING WITH ALDEN WOODS, WHICH IS A FINAL PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED AND PASSED THIS AROUND . IT'S A NEW RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH NINE LOTS AND A PLAYGROUND JUST NORTH OF CENTRAL COLLEGE, SOUTH OF WHEREVER CON IS AND EAST OF NEW ALBANY CONDIT ROAD AND THAT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY AND PASS IT THAT WAY AND BACK IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT. AND FINALLY TAKE TAYLOR FARM HAD SOME VARIANCES. BUT THOSE WERE ALSO TABLED, SO THE FINAL DISCUSSION WAS TALKING ABOUT SOLAR. AH, SOLAR POWER HOMES AND BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS IN THE AREA, AND THERE WAS IT WAS A VERY LIVELY DISCUSSION THAT NEIL COULD HAVE KEPT GOING UNTIL THREE IN THE MORNING. I THINK HAD WE NOT ALL DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO MOVE ON. SO WHAT COULD HAVE REALLY THE PROTESTS WILL BE A VERY SHORTENING LAST NIGHT WASN'T VERY SHORT. WELCOME TO THE POINT. AND THAT IS ALL BEEN WAITING 25 YEARS. YEAH. YES. MR JOLLY. I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT, UH MR MALICE. AND THIS ALDEN WOODS HAS BASICALLY TAKEN YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL DESIGN NORTH OF WOODS PARK AND DECIDED THAT HE'S GOING TO FEATURE THE SAME EQUIPMENT. AND HIS OWN COMMUNITY . SO FROM THE NEXT UPDATE, JUST SO READY TO GO. AH YES. ANYTHING ELSE FROM PLANNING COMMISSION.
ANYONE ELSE'S REPORT THAT I CAN STILL COULD STILL ENTER HIS THUNDER AND SHAPED PICTURES OF THAT PART, BUT I THINK, UM, DEAL WITH PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD. YEAH MR FELLOWS LAST NIGHT AND GOT TO SEE THE WONDERFUL ALL THE WOODS, UM, PLAYGROUND. THERE WAS A FIRST OF ALL WE SWORE IN ALL FOUR NEW MEMBERS OF THE PERSON CHILD FARES, REBIRTH. WE'RE ALL VERY EXCITED TO BE THERE AND THE CHAIR. PEOPLE WERE ALL, UM STAYED IN PLACE, BUT WE HAD A VERY LIVELY DISCUSSION. VERY UM GREAT. THOUGHTFUL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLAN. MR MALLETS WAS
[00:20:02]
VERY GRACIOUS AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND WE HAD A GOOD DIALOGUE. ALL CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL WERE ACCEPTED. AND YES , IT WAS VERY, VERY SIMILAR PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. I SAW LOG PILE IN THERE THAT SUPER EXCITED ABOUT, UM AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT PART. WE SHOULD HAVE. YEAH IT'S PRETTY COORDINATED THAT BETTER. IT'S OKAY IT UP. I DIDN'T HAVE TO LIKE, ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, MY ENTHUSIASM FOR PLAYGROUNDS IS CONTAGIOUS, SO I'M YEAH.ALRIGHT. WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE ANYTHING FROM THE ARCHITECTURE REVIEW BOARD? WE HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEEK. ZONING APPEALS. ALRIGHT I CAN'T RECALL IF WE HAD A MEETING SINCE THEN.
I'LL BE OKAY. WAS MINE WAS THEIR STAFF. YOU RECALL FOR THE B C. A. REMEMBER IF THERE'S REMEMBER IF WE HAD ONE OR NOT ASKED ME TO COVER FOR HIM, BUT I CAN CHECK REAL QUICK HERE. I MEAN, WOULD HAVE BEEN IN FEBRUARY IS ALSO CONSIDER THE PRESIDENTIAL SOLAR ROOFING. OH YES, WE DID HAVE A CASE. MY APOLOGIES. YES SO WE HAD A VARIANTS. THERE'S ONE VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A PROPERTY ALONG MIDDLE HARLEM ROAD. SO THE SECTION THAT SOUTH OF DUBLIN GRENVILLE STREETS RESIDENT REQUESTED A VARIANCE TO THE CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR FENCING. HEIGHTS OF CODE REQUIRES FENCING TO BE NO TOLERANCE. SIX FT. THE RESIDENT REQUESTED A VARIANCE FOR A SMALL PORTION OF OFFENSE THAT REALLY ACTED AS A PRIVACY WALL TO BE SEVEN FT IN HEIGHT. AND SO THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS, I BELIEVE, REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED OR APPROVED THAT VARIANTS UNANIMOUSLY. AFTER I THINK A LITTLE BIT OF DEBATE IN QUESTION FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER THERE. AND THAT'S AT THE REAR LOT. YES SO IT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A PERGOLA. AND SO IT REALLY ACTS AS AN EXTENSION OF THAT, AND IT'S ALL YET CONFINED TO THE REAR LOTS AND IT WAS, UM, JUST ON JUST ON ONE SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, SO IT'S ABOUT A 20 FT LONG SECTION OF FENCING OR PRIVACY WALL THAT WAS SEVEN FT. HIGH. OKAY AND THERE'S SOME PRETTY GOOD ELEVATION CHANGE THERE, TOO. SO THAT HEIGHT DIFFERENCE FROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF THE NEIGHBORS SECOND LOOK AT A PLACE THAT WAS EXACTLY RIGHT AND ONE OF THE CONSIDERATIONS TAKEN BY THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AS WELL.
OKAY THANK YOU AS SOON AS YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT, REMEMBER THAT AGENDA, ALRIGHT.
SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD. UM NO MEANING? MARY KESSLER DID WANT TO KNOW WHY WE LIKE USES LOGOS ON HER PRODUCTS WAS WONDERING IF YOU GET SOME PEOPLE GRATUITIES OR I'M KIDDING. BUT WE DID THAT. OUR LAST MEETING AT THE MERITS OF MANAGER ASSOCIATION SHARE WITH HIM SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE WORKING ON, SO I KNOW HE'S VERY SUPPORTIVE OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. IDEA IMPLEMENTATION PANEL ON THE UPDATE, NO MEETING ALRIGHT CEMETERY RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD MEETING. AND THE PUBLIC RECORDS COMMISSION HAS HAD NO MEETING CORRESPONDENCE OR
[8. CORRESPONDENCE/COMMUNICATIONS]
COMMUNICATIONS LAST MEETING. THERE WAS A COUPLE OF EMAILS AND I'M NOT SURE WHO THEY ALL WENT TO KNOW. I RECEIVED TWO REGARDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IN GHANA AND THE PLACEMENT OF THE SHEETS GAS STATION NEXT TO HIGH BANKS. STILL ARY AND SOME SUGGESTIONS BY SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT COUNCIL GET INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. UM I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANYONE WANTED TO TALK TO HER. YOU KNOW, I CAN AFFORD THOSE EMAILS ONTO THE MAYOR OF HONDA, SO SHE'S AWARE OF SOME OF THE FEEDBACK. UM, I BELIEVE THAT HANNAH, ONE OF THE THEIR BOARDS. COMMISSIONS HAD ALREADY REVIEWED AND PERHAPS TABLED OR REJECTED THE APPLICATION. BUT MAYBE THIS IS AGAIN A EITHER RECONSIDERATION OR RENEWAL OF THE APPLICATION.BUT NOT SURPRISINGLY, MOST OF THE COMMENTS WERE FOCUSED ON TRAFFIC ISSUES AND THE FACT THAT THIS YOU KNOW THERE, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GROUND AVAILABLE AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CURRENT ROUNDABOUT AND THEN OTHER SORT OF TRAFFIC FEATURE. COULD BE COMPLICATED. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW. I MEAN, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US TEND TO APPEAR BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, PUT IT ON YOUR RADAR. IF YOU DIDN'T GET THE EMAIL THAT WAS WASN'T CLEAR TO ME WHO WOULD RECEIVED OR NOT RECEIVED IT. UM I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR STAFF. AS FAR AS MORRIS ROAD.

THEY KEPT THAT OPPORTUNITY TO ANNEX IN THE LICKING COUNTY ONE LITTLE TENTACLE ALONG THERE. BUT IT'S STILL EXISTS.

SO WHAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH REGARD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A FUTURE RESTAURANT FACILITY WAS A LOCATION KIND OF GENERALLY, UH, KIND OF IN THIS QUADRANT. WE EVALUATED ACCESS TO WATER, WHICH IS BASICALLY RUNNING ALONG OUR ACCESS DRIVERS HERE AND THEN THERE ARE SANITARY SEWER. THERE'S ACTUALLY KIND OF OVER IN THIS AREA, SO I GUESS IN CONSIDERATION OF A FUTURE RESTAURANT FACILITY, WE FOUND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO NEED TO DO ANYTHING NOW FOR THAT, AND THAT NOTHING WOULD BE PRECLUDING ACCESS TO THAT IN THE FUTURE. SO THERE'S NOTHING NOTHING INCLUDED IN THIS PROJECT FOR RESTROOMS. WE ARE INCLUDING A VARIETY OF UNDERGROUND CONDUIT THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PLACED NOW , UNDERNEATH ALL THE PLAYING SURFACES, AND THE INTENT IS THAT THE BASE PACKAGE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY COURT LIGHTING. IT DOES NOT. THERE'S NO PHYSICAL WRITING, SO IT'S JUST DAYLIGHT ACTIVITY. BUT SHOULD WE CHOOSE TO ADD COURT LIGHTING AT SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE? WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE RACEWAY IN PLACE TO PULL CABLE AND BASICALLY JUST TO SET TO SET THE LIGHTING AT THAT TIME. UM BEYOND THAT, WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T REALLY DO MUCH MORE. WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT IN CONSIDERATION OF OTHER TYPES OF STRUCTURES, INCLUDING EVEN A BUBBLE OF STRUCTURE. IT COULD VERY EASILY YOU KNOW THE LAYOUT OF THIS FACILITY IT HAS ABOUT A 10 FT
[00:40:04]
PERIMETER. AROUND THE KIND OF THE OUTER BORDER AND THAT WAS DONE SO INTENTIONALLY TO ACCOMMODATE JUST A SPACE THAT IS NEEDED FOR A BUBBLE OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF ENCLOSURE IN THE FUTURE. UM SO I THINK THAT IT'S PRETTY FLEXIBLE. I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WOULD PRECLUDE US FROM BEING ABLE TO COVER IT IN THE FUTURE, BUBBLE IT IN THE FUTURE. THAT IS ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS LOCATION TO IT'S JUST THAT IT'S MUCH MORE OPEN, AND I THINK WE HAVE JUST LESS SPATIAL CONSTRAINTS ON THIS ON THIS LOCATION, SO I THINK WE'RE PRETTY WELL SET UP FOR A VARIETY OF OPTIONS MOVING FORWARD. I COULD YOU BRING UP THAT SLIDE OF THE PAVILION SO WE CAN FOLLOW UP. GO AHEAD. I LOVE THAT. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. WHAT IS THE AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE TRYING. I LOVE I LOVE THIS IDEA. I LOVE PICKLEBALL. UM I KNOW THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET THIS GOING FOR JUNE. HERCULEAN EFFORT THAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE IS LIKE BEYOND MY QUESTION IS, IF WE HAVE PEOPLE PLAYING KICKBALL THIS JUNE WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO TO THE BATHROOM? AND WHERE IS THERE? IS THERE A BUDGET FOR THE SORT OF FACILITIES THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE IN PLACE UNTIL SOMETHING IS ABLE TO BE FELT? SO WE CAN. THERE IS A RESTROOM OVER AT THE JOINT PARK DISTRICT OFFICE. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A WALK. WE COULD ALSO BRING QUARTER JOBS IF WE NEEDED TO. OKAY. A LITTLE BIT OF WALKING ACROSS THE STREET. PARKING LOT.OKAY BARS ARE CLOSED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SALT BARN PINCH MIGHT HAVE YOU GUYS HAD ISSUES WITH THE KIDS PLAYING AT MICHAEL LUCY. UH WE HAVEN'T. I KNOW. LAST YEAR THERE WAS A SITUATION WHERE ONE OF THE BACKBOARDS WERE SHATTERED. AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS JUST BY ROUGH PLAY, OR IF IT WAS BY SOMEBODY WHO HAS ANALYZING, BUT I KNOW THAT INCIDENT HAD HAPPENED. BUT I KNOW WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD ISSUES AT ALL. I THINK IT GETS USED QUITE A BIT EVERY DAY. I LEAVE THE OFFICE. IT'S BOARD. IT'S VERY WELL, VERY WELL UTILIZED AND NO BATHROOM ISSUES WHERE I THINK HE WAS YOUNGER CHILDREN MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE BIT. YEAH. BECAUSE I GET TO SEE THEM NOT NECESSARILY GOING ALL THE WAY OVER THERE, AND THERE'S A POND RIGHT DOWN THE WAY. I DON'T KNOW NOTHING. NOTHING TO MY KNOWLEDGE HAS BEEN SCHOOL KIDS. YEAH. OKAY SO THE IMAGE THAT WE HAVE HERE THIS IS ONE OF THE OPTIONS. SO BASICALLY, THIS IS A CANTILEVER SHAPED STRUCTURE. WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED IS THESE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 14 FT SQUARE, AND THEY COULD BE KIND OF STRATEGICALLY PLACED THROUGHOUT THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE COURTS.
THIS IS IN THE AREA WHERE WE WOULD HAVE BLEACHERS AND PICNIC TABLES AND OTHER AMENITIES FOR PEOPLE TO YOU KNOW TO REST AND ALSO VIEW THE GAMES KIND OF ADJACENT TO THE COURTS. SO THIS WAS ONE OPTION THAT THAT WE LOOKED AT. JENNIFER THANK YOU GOTTA PUT OVER HERE. COOL LIKE THAT. SO THIS IS JUST ALABAMA. YEAH SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ANOTHER CONSIDERATION. SO THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS PRODUCT IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE NAME OF CLEAR SPAN. SPAN UH, THIS IS A CALL LIKE A PAVILION STYLE ENCLOSURE. SO BASICALLY, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S OPEN ENDED ON BOTH SIDES, AND THEN EVEN ON ALONG THE LENGTH OF IT. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S PROBABLY OPEN 8 TO 10 FT.
HERE ALONG ALL THE WAY AROUND IT. UM AND BASICALLY, THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF HOW THIS LOOKS ON THE INSIDE. UM SO WE WE'VE EVALUATED SOME OPTIONS FOR THAT AS WELL. CERTAINLY THIS EXTENDS THE PLAYING SEASON AND ALSO, UM YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY HELPS TO DEAL WITH AND MITIGATE WHETHER ISSUES AND RAIN OTHER CONCERNS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE MORE PREDICTABLE PLAY. OBVIOUSLY IT IS AN OPEN AIR FACILITY, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THROUGH THE WINTER MONTHS. UM BUT NONETHELESS, IT'S ANOTHER OPTION THAT WE'RE EVALUATING. AS WELL.
JUST PUT SOME HEATERS UP THERE IN THE TOP PEOPLE WILL PLAY OUT HERE. YEAH AND YOU KNOW, THERE ARE THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS. PICKLE BALL PLAYERS IN OUR COMMUNITY, YAHOO! AND THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A HAVE AN ENCLOSED STRUCTURE. THAT'S MUCH LIKE THIS, WHICH WOULD YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY OPEN UP THE POTENTIAL FOR YEAR ROUND PLAY. OF COURSE, EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IT COMES AT A COST, SO IT'S JUST A FUNCTION OF YOU KNOW WHAT THE WHAT? THE WHAT THE INTEREST IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION. HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONSIDERATION IN TERMS OF
[00:45:02]
LIKE, IS THERE ANY KIND OF A WIND WALL? OR IS IT JUST OKAY? AND DID WE TALK AT ALL ABOUT? AH DIRECTION VERSUS SON, YOU KNOW SUNLIGHT. OKAY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. AND THE THERE THERE HAS TO BE SOME CUT. AND FILM IN THAT AREA, SO WE'RE USING INSTEAD OF HAVING THE TRUCK A LOT OF SPOILS OFF OF THE SITE. I WAS CREATING MOUND ON THE WEST SIDE, AND THEN WE'LL LANDSCAPE THAT MOUNTAIN DEVIL SERVE AS A NATURAL SCREEN AS WELL AS THE FABRIC SCREEN THAT GOES AROUND THE PERIMETER OF IT. AM I MISSING IS THE PARKING ASSUMED FOR NOW TO BE JUST SHARED WITH WHAT'S ALREADY IN EXISTENCE. THIS PRICE 0.68, OKAY, I DIDN'T OKAY. HAVEN'T SEEN THAT 68 PARKING SPOTS AND 64 PLAYERS IF IT WAS TOTALLY FULL DID WE? WERE WE ORIGINALLY DOING A DOZEN AND NOT 16. AND THEN MAYBE A COUPLE OF TENNIS COURTS. THE DECK GETS SWITCHED. APOLOGIZE IF I APPLICABLE, JUST SWITCHING THAT AROUND AND STUFF WHEN THEY MOVED TO THE NEW LOCATION PLAN, OKAY, SO JUST TO CLARIFY HERE, SO THIS IS THE EXISTING STORM WATER BASIN THAT EXISTS TODAY. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THIS FOR DETENTION PURPOSES FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT. BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR VERY CLEARLY ON THIS, BUT THERE IS A BASICALLY A DEDICATED DRIVEWAY DOWN TO A DEDICATED, UH , YOU KNOW, PARKING AREA 68 SPACES. UM AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST IT'S JUST SOUTH OF THE COURT AREAS. SINCE THERE'S NO LOOP CONNECTING ROAD CONNECTION THERE. WE HAVE A TURNAROUND AT THE WEST END OF THE PARKING LOT. THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS AREA . THAT IS GOOD. IT'S JUST YOU KNOW IF THERE WOULD BE A NEED FOR OVERFLOW PARKING, YOU KNOW THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE MORE OR LESS TO PARALLEL PARK ALONG THIS EXISTING DRIVE. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 40 FT WIDE. IT'S EXTREMELY WIDE SO YOU CAN ACCOMMODATE 20 TO 30 CARS, EVEN JUST ALONG THIS LENGTH, BUT NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST OPEN GRASS AND FIELD. YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE PARK OR TOUCH A TRUCK AND MANY OTHER EVENTS AND WE CAN ACCOMMODATE HUNDREDS OF 100 VEHICLES IN THAT AREA. SO OVERFLOW PARKING AND ACCESS WILL NEVER BE AN ISSUE.ITS LOCATION. THANK YOU. JOE YOU ADDRESS MY QUESTION ON THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET OF TWO MILLION. YES, OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION. OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING WHERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION R 16 2023. PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING IN. IS THERE A MOTION ON RESOLUTION 16 TO A DOCTOR RESOLUTION? 16 2023 2ND. THAT'S MY PROGRESSED. YES TRIAL COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK? YES, YES, YES, YES , YES. VOTES STOOD UP RESOLUTION R 16 2023. RESOLUTION ARE 17 2023, A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MANAGER TO SIGN OH DOT CONSENT LEGISLATION FOR WIDENING OF STATE ROUTE 1 61 FROM I TO 70 TO US, 62, A PORTION OF WHICH IS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW ALBUM. BARKER. OKAY THANK YOU AGAIN, SO WE'VE SEEN THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION BEFORE DOT IS PLANNING TO IMPROVE 1 61 BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL TRAVEL LANE ON WITHIN THE MEDIAN AREA OF EXISTING 1 61. THE IMPROVEMENT WILL ALSO INCLUDE AN EXPANSION TO THE, UH 1 61 NORTH BONG ON TEMPORARY 1 61 EXIT TO 70 NORTH.
AS WELL. UM SO THERE IS A SMALL PORTION OF THIS PROJECT IS ABOUT ONE MILE. TECHNICALLY, THAT IS WITHIN THE CORPORATE BOUNDARY OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. UM BEGINNING ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN WHAT IS HARLEM ROAD? AND, UM US 62 IS ABOUT WHERE OUR CORPORATE BOUNDARY STARTS. UM SO THIS IS JUST CONSENT LEGISLATION THAT BASICALLY FORMALIZES OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE PROJECT AND SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT WITHIN THE CORPORATE BOUNDARY OF THE CITY. ALL THESE PRO PROJECT IN ITS ENTIRETY WAS DESIGNED, CONSTRUCTED AND FULLY FUNDED BY THE STATE, SO IT COMES AT NO COST. TO THE CITY. WE HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSELY COORDINATING OUR US 60 TO 1 61 ENTERTAINING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THAT IS CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION. WITH THIS, THERE WILL BE SOME WORK THAT KIND OF OVERLAPS AT TIMES AND HAS SOME SHARED WORKSPACE THAT WE'VE WORKED THROUGH A LOT OF DETAILS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO WANTS IN THE ROAD. AND I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE READY TO ACCOMMODATE. UM AGAIN. I KNOW THEY'RE ANTICIPATING CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN IN JULY OF 23. THEY'RE EXPECTING TO DELIVER THE ADDITIONAL LANES BY NOVEMBER OF 24. AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE
[00:50:06]
ABOUT ANOTHER ANOTHER YEAR FROM THEN FOR FINAL COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT, WHICH IS PLANNED FOR AUGUST, 2025. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. DID WE HAVE ANY INPUT ON THE DESIGN OF THE WIDENING UH, WELL , WE ARE PART OF REGULAR MEETINGS WITH THEM IN TERMS OF THE O DOT TEAM. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY I'D SAY VERY INCLUSIVE AND THEY INVITED US TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL OF THEIR DESIGN MEETINGS AND PLAN REVIEW MEETINGS AND ALL THAT, SO, YEAH, WE DEFINITELY HAVE I SHOULD ALSO SAY THAT 11 61 WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED. IT WAS DESIGNED SUCH THAT A FUTURE A FUTURE EXPANSION WOULD BE MADE WITHIN THE CENTER MEDIAN. SO IN MANY WAYS, THIS IS REALLY KIND OF A COMPLETION OF A DESIGN THAT WAS ALREADY KIND OF CONTEMPLATED AS A BASIS OF THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S NECESSARILY ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT, THAT WAS EVEN CONSIDERED FROM THE BEGINNING. SO BUT YES, WE'RE I THINK WE'RE PRETTY MUCH IN LOCKSTEP WITH OH DOT ON THIS PROJECT. WITH WHAT THEY'VE GOT IS AND YOU DON'T FORESEE ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS TO TRAFFIC TO I KNOW IT'S A GOOD THING THAT IT'S A PROJECT THAT I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE MORNING FOR YEARS KIND OF GOT MOVED TO THE HEAD OF THE LINE. YEAH, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SHOULD EXPECT THAT. CERTAINLY THERE'S GOING TO BE PERIODS OF TIME WHERE THERE MIGHT BE. SOME DELAY HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM THEIR TEAM THAT I THINK THAT THEY'RE ANTICIPATING DOING MUCH OF THE WORK ACTUALLY UNDER TRAFFIC. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE ENTRA. THERE WILL BE TEMPORARY LANE RESTRICTIONS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. BUT I THINK FOR THE MOST PART, WE SHOULD EXPECT THAT PRETTY MUCH. TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC WILL BE IN PLACE. DURING CONSTRUCTION.THEY'RE ABLE TO REALLY FOCUS THEIR EFFORT WITHIN THE MEDIAN AREA, WHICH IS WHERE THE EXPANDED LANES WILL BE LOCATED. SO CERTAINLY THERE'LL BE BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION. AS WITH ANY ANY PROJECT, BUT I THINK THAT THEY'VE DONE A NICE JOB TO MITIGATE THAT, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE. YOU SAID IT'S GOING TO START HERE AT THE END OF 23 CORRECT. BUT EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED AROUND FALL OF 25. SO WHEN I HEARD YOU SAY, CORRECT THE ADDITIONAL LANES THEY WILL BE IN PLACE BY NOVEMBER OF 2024. OH, SO, YES, BUT THEN IT WAS THE 25 REFERENCE. I'M SORRY. THE FINAL COMPLETION OF THE FINAL COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT. IS EXPECTED TO BE AND I THINK IT'S AUGUST 2025. SO WHAT? WHAT IS LEFT AFTER THE ADDITIONAL LENSES IT THERE'S ALWAYS FINAL RESTORATION AND SIGN IT. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES WILL BRING TEMPORARY SIGNS UP AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. YEAH I DON'T. I DON'T KNOW, NECESSARILY THE LIST OF IT, BUT IT'S NOT UNCOMMON THAT THERE'S A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE. AND THEN THERE'S A FINAL COMPLETION DATE, WHICH JUST HAS ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT KIND OF ALL MORE DETAIL. THINGS TO KIND OF FINISH THE PROJECT. HAS THERE BEEN ANY SPECIFIC DISCUSSION OR COMMITMENT WITH REGARD TO OUR PLANNING WITH REGARD TO A SOUND WALL AT THIS POINT? THERE HAS BEEN SO OH, DOT COMPLETED A NOISE STUDY AND BASICALLY THEY EVALUATED EVERYWHERE ALONG THE CORRIDOR IN ANTICIPATION OF THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC VOLUME. AND THEY DID IDENTIFY AREAS ALONG THAT CORRIDOR. WHERE, UM A NOISE WALL SOUND WALL WAS DETERMINED TO BE NEEDED. UM OF THAT AREA, REALLY WITHIN NEW ALBANY. IT'S PRETTY MUCH LIMITED TO THE AREA ADJACENT TO WINDSOR SUBDIVISION.
AND THERE IS A SMALL STRETCH JUST ON THE WEST SIDE OF HIGH STREET. THERE'S AN EXISTING RESIDENTIAL HOME. UH KIND OF. JUST WEST OF WINDSOR ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 1 61 WHERE THE WALL IS PROPOSED TO EXTEND. SO WHAT WOULD IT WOULD EXTEND? FOR BASICALLY ONE PROPERTY WEST OF HIGH STREET AND THEN IT WOULD EXTEND ALONG THE FRONT EDGE OF WINDSOR WITHIN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. UM BEYOND THAT, AS YOU CONTINUE FURTHER WEST OR BURNING WOODS, UM DEPARTMENTS OR TOWN HOMES THERE. THAT'S JUST ON THE WEST SIDE OF HARLEM ROAD. THEY ARE THEIR PLAN TO HAVE A NOISE WALL ALONG THAT LENGTH AS WELL, AND THERE'S OTHER AREAS ALONG THE LENGTH, BUT OUTSIDE THE CORPORATE FOUNDRY, A FEW DOLLARS DO WE KNOW IS THAT PART OF PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENS IN THE AFTER THE LANDS ARE IN AND BEFORE 25. DO WE KNOW WHERE THAT COMES IN TIMING? WE JUST DON'T KNOW THAT. YEAH I DON'T KNOW THAT OFF HAND. I WOULD BET THAT THEY DO. YOU CAN CERTAINLY MAKE CONTACT WITH THEM AND GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHEN PROBABLY INTENDED PHASE THAT RIGHT AFTER RYAN IS THINKING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PRIORITIZE THE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT FIRST AND THEN COME BACK. THAT'S GOING TO BE THE 24 TO 25 DETAILS THAT COULD BE AND THAT AND THAT COULD BE THAT ADDITIONAL YEAR. YOU'RE RIGHT. I MEAN, THAT'S A PRETTY LIKE THE PERIOD OF TIME FOR FINAL PUNCH OUT WITH THAT. THAT MIGHT BE PART OF THAT. SO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND GET MORE DETAIL. JUST
[00:55:04]
THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT, MIKE. WE ARE WE ALLOWED TO PROVIDE ANY INPUT ON WHAT THE WALL WILL ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE I MEAN, I APPRECIATE THERE'S MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS ALONG THIS ROAD IMPROVEMENT. I'M SURE OH, DOT DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE FIVE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WHAT THE WALL LOOKS LIKE. HAS ALREADY SOME WALL THAT EXISTS IN THE WESTERVILLE AREA, PART OF COLUMBUS AS WELL, CURIOUS. DO WE HAVE ANY INPUT, OR WE'RE JUST KIND OF STUCK WITH WHAT THEY USED BEFORE. THEY DID SAY THAT THEY WOULD ALLOW INPUT. THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT THEY MADE THE POINT THAT IT'S IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO KEEP SOME CONSISTENCY AND COORDINATE WITH THE OTHER AGENCIES ALONG THIS CORRIDOR, SO IT MIGHT BE A BIGGER KIND OF COLLECTIVE CONVERSATION. BUT, YEAH, THEY SAID, THERE IS OPPORTUNITY. OKAY THANK YOU CAN'T GET IT TO LIFT GEORGIAN.YES, THE RED BRICK IS THAT OKAY? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE RESOLUTION. GO AHEAD AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING RESOLUTION ARE 17 2023. YOU KNOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND MORE FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ARE 17 2023. SECOND I MOVED ADOPTION. YOU MOVE, LIKE? DID YOUR 2ND 2ND 2ND IS CORRECT. SPALDING COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK? YES RISK? YES CHILD? YES COUNCIL MEMBER CAST? YES VOTES TO THAT POSITION ARE 17 2023 WITH THAT?

GOVERNOR DEWINE AND LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HOUSTON FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO GET THIS EXTENSION PUSHED THROUGH SO QUICKLY, UM THIS IS A LARGE PROJECT FOR ODA TO TAKE ON IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT WAS ONE OF THE PRIORITIES THAT ARE NEW ALBANY HAD IDENTIFIED AS WE WERE GROWING OUR BUSINESS CAMPUS AND PARTNERSHIP WITH VARIETY OF INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES THAT THAT EXPANSION NEEDED TO HAPPEN. AND UH, ABLE TO GET IT DONE. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR OUR TEAM AND AGAIN. HEY ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF COLLABORATION AND HOW WE'RE ABLE TO ALL PULL TOGETHER AND MAKE THESE PROJECTS POSSIBLE. ALRIGHT SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING . WE HAVE NONE ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, WHICH TAKES US TO

UM WHEN DO WE GET INTO OUR UNTIL 1919 ALRIGHT.ORDINANCE 0 14 2023 AN ORDINANCE TO ETCETERA RIGHT AWAY DEDICATION TOTALING 0.77 ACRES FOR THE DUNCAN DON'S EXPRESS OIL AND ALL THE DEVELOPMENT SITES ALONG JOHNSTON ROAD, AS REQUESTED BY ALL THE INK. G R. C REAL CO. LLC AND J N B. J J NBG LANDHOLDINGS. THANK YOU, MAYOR, SO THESE PROPERTIES ARE REQUIRE REQUIRED TO AIM PROPOSED DEDICATES FIVE ADDITIONAL FEET OF RIGHT OF WAY FROM WHERE IT EXISTS TODAY, SO IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE HERE BUT CURRENTLY THE RIGHT OF WAY ACTUALLY NARROWS AS YOU GO SOUTH AND APPROACH WALTON PARKWAY FROM THE NORTH, SO THE RIGHT OF WAY IS TO ACCOMMODATE STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AND ALSO TO ACCOMMODATE A FUTURE ADDITIONAL DROP RIGHT LANE IF AND WHEN IT IS NEEDED AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, AND SO THIS WAS IDENTIFIED AS A POTENTIAL NEED DUE TO OVERALL GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY WHEN A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS DONE DURING THE REZONING FOR THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE RETAIL CENTER HERE ON THE WEST SIDE OF US, 62, SO THE STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS ARE INSTALLED ARE BEING INSTALLED TODAY IF YOU DRIVE BY AND ALL THOSE HAVE BEEN LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THIS FUTURE, DROPPED RIGHT LANE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE EASY INSTALLATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITIONAL LANE IN THE FUTURE AGAIN. IF IT'S DETERMINED TO BE NEEDED, BASED ON OTHER DEVELOPMENT. AND SO STAFF IS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RIGHT IF WE DEDICATION. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ORDINANCE? THAT'S A YELLOW IS THAT IS THAT THE ROAD DEDICATION THE YELLOW STRIPPED. IT'S THERE. SO THIS IS AN ENVISIONED FUTURE . UH PRIVATE ROAD THAT WOULD EXTEND BETWEEN THE PROPERTIES SO THIS IS CURRENTLY THE EXISTING PRIVATE ROAD SIMILAR TO WHAT'S BEING DONE AT THE TRUST CORE IS ENVISIONED TO CREATE A STREET GRID THAT PROVIDES MULTIPLE MEANS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS. THROUGHOUT THESE DEVELOPMENTS ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF 62. OKAY. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? WE'LL SET THAT FOR A SECOND READING IN OUR MEETING ON MARCH 21ST. ORDINANCE OH 15 2023 NORTHERNERS TO ACCEPT THE EXPERT. I TYPE ONE
[01:00:02]
ANNEXATION OF 195. 0.98 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES FROM JERSEY TOWNSHIP LOOKING COUNTY TO THE CITY FROM ALBANY. THANK YOU, MAYOR. UH, THIS. ANNEXATION PETITION WAS APPROVED BY THE LOOKING COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THROUGH RESOLUTION 1 17-84 ON DECEMBER 22ND OF 2022 . THERE WAS A 60 DAY WAITING PERIOD. THAT WAITING PERIOD HAS LAPSED. UH THIS IS THE TYPICAL EXPEDITED TYPE ONE ANNEXATION THAT WE REQUIRE OF PEOPLE SEEKING TO ANNEX THE ORIGINAL WROTE. I'M SORRY THE ORIGINAL ANNEXATION AGREEMENT. WAS ENTERED INTO IN JANUARY OF 2022 . THIS WAS PART OF THAT LARGE 31 ALMOST 3200 ACRE ANNEXATION AGREEMENT. AND THEN BACK IN 2018 . WE ENTERED INTO THE REQUIRED ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR BEACH ROAD. THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF BEACH. NORTH OF JUG AND THEN NORTH OF THE SABBATH AND ACRES SUBDIVISION, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH. IT IS ALSO WITHIN THE OBVIOUSLY THEY THE BIG GROWTH AREA FOR OUR AGREEMENTS WITH COLUMBUS. IN A FAVORITE CALL. THIS ACREAGE IS SURROUNDED TO THE NORTH AND EAST. MAYBE EVEN IN THE SOUTH BY LAND HAS ALREADY BEEN REZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USE. THAT IS CORRECT. RIGHT ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS REGARDING ORDINANCE OF 15? OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING WHEN ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING JUST MY APOLOGIES. GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF AHEAD AND SET THAT FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON MARCH 21ST. I THINK I RECOGNIZE SOMEONE FROM THE AUDIENCE THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT THAT OR THEMSELVES ON THE 21ST. HMM ORDINANCE SO 16 2023 ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY MANY OF THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE 195.98 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF BEACH ROAD FROM AGRICULTURAL TO LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT LG FOR AN ERROR TO BE KNOWN AS THE NORTHEAST BUSINESS PARK ZONING DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY M. B. J HOLDINGS. L. C CARE OF AARON UNDERHILL, ESQUIRE. SO THIS REASONING IS FOR THE SAME AREA THAT WAS JUST SET FOR SECOND READING FOR THE ANNEXATION SO AGAIN WEST OF BEACH AND GENERALLY EAST OF US, 62. SO THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED FROM THE NORTH AND FROM THE EAST, ALSO WITH PROPERTIES THAT ARE ZONED LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT, SO THE PROPOSAL TONIGHT IS TO REZONE ALSO TO THAT LIMITED GENERAL APPOINTMENT AND A LIMITATION TEXT CAN ONLY BE MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN THE CITY'S GENERAL BASED ZONING DISTRICT, SO THE USES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING ZONING TO THE NORTH AND EAST AND THIS REZONING ALLOWS FOR MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION. OFFICE USES WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION AND RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION USES THAT ALSO CONTAINS THE SAME OR MORE RESTRICTIVE STANDARDS FROM SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT THAT EXIST IN THE SURROUNDING LG DISTRICTS. AND SO THIS REQUIRES THE SAME SETBACKS FROM BEACH AND LANDSCAPING ALONG THE CORRIDOR AND ALSO REQUIRES THE SAME ROOFTOP SCREENING FOR SIGHT AND SOUND ALONG ALL BUILDINGS AND ALL FOUR SIDES. AND THE SAME ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS. SO UH, BUT WHEREAS THE SITES TO THE EAST AND TO THE NORTH ALLOW FOR BUILDING HEIGHTS TO BE A MAXIMUM , I BELIEVE OF 85 FT. THIS ONE IS MORE RESTRICTIVE AND ONLY ALLOWS BUILDINGS UP TO A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF 65 FT. ADDITIONALLY THE ZONING UM PLACES A 100 FT PAVEMENT AND BUILDING SETBACK. TO ANY AREA WHERE THERE ARE RESIDENTIAL USES AND REQUIRES 75% OPACITY SCREENING TO BE ESTABLISHED. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE EMPLOYMENT CENTER AND MATCHES THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND THE ENGAGED NEW ALBANY STRATEGIC PLAN AND IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SURROUNDING ZONING AREAS, ALSO FOR COMMERCIAL AND SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR PREVIOUS MEETING. ANY QUESTIONS OF COUNSEL REGARDING ORDINANCE OF 16. AND WE WILL SET THAT FOR SECOND READING IN PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MEETING ON MARCH 21ST. ACCORDANCE SO 17 2023 NORDS TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY AMENDING THE ZONING MATTHEW REZONE 26.2 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON A PORTION OF 13312 DRUGS TREAT ROAD ADJACENT[01:05:08]
TO HARRISON ROAD NORTHWEST. AND GENERALLY TO THE NORTH OF DRUG STREET FROM LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. LG TO LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT LG FOR AN ERROR TO BE KNOWN AS THE HARRISON ROAD TRIANGLE ZONING DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY M. B. J. HOLDINGS L. C CARE OF AARON UNDERHILL ESCORT. MR MAYOR, SO, AS MENTIONED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BREAST EARLIER THIS APPLICATION AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANTS WAS TABLED WITHOUT DISCUSSION AT YESTERDAY'S PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION SET FORMAL REVIEW, UH , FOR THEIR MEETING ON APRIL 3RD AND CITY STAFF REQUEST THAT SECOND READING BY CITY COUNCIL BE SET ON APRIL 18TH. AND STEPS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ORDINANCE? WE'LL SET THAT FOR PUBLIC HEARING AND SECOND READING AT A MEETING ON APRIL 18TH. ORDINANCE SO 18 2023 NORTHERN'S TO ALLOW TRUCKS UNRESTRICTED USE AND FULL ACCESS TO HARRISON ROAD, NORTH OF INNOVATION, CAMPUS WAY AND SOUTH OF DRUG STREET HAS REQUESTED ABOUT CITY NORTH. SO WAY BACK IN 2014, WHEN PRETTY MUCH NONE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU SEE HERE, UM, EXISTED. IT WAS LITERALLY JUST SMALLER VERSIONS OF THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE AROUND SMITH'S MILLWOOD ROAD, THE PLANNING COMMISSION IN THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN EXTENSION OF INNOVATION CAMPUS COURT AT THE TIME, TOO. HARRISON RODE HERE WITH THE CONDITION THAT TRUCK TRAFFIC NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE HIGHLIGHTED RED PORTION OF HARRISON ROAD HERE, SO TRUCK TRAFFIC IS PROHIBITED BETWEEN INNOVATION, CAMPUS WAY AND JUG STREET TO THE NORTH. SO RECENTLY, THESE PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS AND ANTICIPATION AND PREPARATION FOR THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE CITY IS REQUESTING THAT THE TRUCK ACCESS PROHIBITION. BE REMOVED, AND I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST EARLIER THIS YEAR, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT. WHAT THE TOWNSHIP PENDING A FUTURE ANNEXATION REQUEST OR PETITION FOR THE 85 ACRES OUTLINED IN ORANGE HERE. SO THE PROPERTY IS COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY OTHER COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. THERE WE GO. ON ALL SIDES AND THE REMOVAL OF THIS PROHIBITION WILL ALLOW THE STREET TO FUNCTION AS INTENDED BY INCREASING CONNECTIVITY AND DISPERSING TRAFFIC. SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID REVIEW AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL THAT THE TRIP PROHIBITION BE REMOVED IN THE FUTURE, BUT REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL A REZONING APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER THE TO MAKE THIS PROHIBITION EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, AND WITHOUT THAT CONDITION SINCE THE CITY IS IN COORDINATION WITH THE NEW PROPERTY OWNER FOR ALL 84 ACRES SHOWN IN ORANGE THERE. AND SO STEPS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT FROM COUNCIL SO, STEPHEN, ARE WE. ANTICIPATING VACATING THAT ROAD OR MAKING ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO IT, BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THE CURRENT PAVING CONDITION IS GOING TO SUPPORT ALLOWED TRUCK TRAFFIC. YES SO PART OF THE ANNEXATION REZONING WOULD BE TO PROVIDE FOR ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATIONS ALONG JUG AND CERTAINLY HARRISON AND THEN PART OF THE REZONING AND FUTURE ROADWAY. I THINK IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE SCHEDULED IN COORDINATION WITH EACH OTHER. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY IMPROVEMENTS SCHEDULED IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. THAT'S SOMETHING AS DEVELOPMENT OCCURS. WE WILL COORDINATE WITH THE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT'S RIGHT. AND ON THE JUGS CHURCH STREET PROJECT WE DID ADD HARRISON ROAD TO THE SCOPE. SO WE DID A MILLION FILL ACROSS THE ENTIRE THING. SO IT LOOKS GOOD TODAY, AND IN THAT WE DID GO AND DO SEVERAL SPOT REPAIRS WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF RUNNING AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND DID A LITTLE BIT MORE. SOME FOUR AND A FEW AREAS. OKAY SO IT HAS BEEN IMPROVED IN THE LAST 6 TO 8 MONTHS. IT'S BEEN IT'S BEEN IMPROVED, NOT IN THE WAY THAT WE WOULD TYPICALLY DO IT BUT EXISTING CONDITIONS. AS I WROTE DOWN THAT ROAD, FIGURED I'D BIGGER TEND TO GET A GRAVEL BIKE. HMM. ALRIGHT ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON ORDINANCE OF 18? AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SET THAT FOR A SECOND READING AT OUR MEETING ON MARCH 21ST. WHICH TAKES US TO A GROUP OF ORDINANCES THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN GROUP A AND GROUP B.

DEVICE CODE, THE CITY'S PROPERTY ACQUISITION CONSULTANT WILL CONTINUE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS FOR THE PURCHASE OF RAILWAY AND EASEMENTS. UNTIL THE SCHEDULED DEADLINE FOR FILING FOR APPROPRIATION. THIS GROUP OF ORDINANCE DOES INCLUDE ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY LANGUAGE TO WAIVE SECOND READING AND THE 30 DAY REFERENDUM PERIOD. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THESE PROPERTIES HAVE SUBSTANTIAL TREES THAT ARE PART OF THE INDIANA BAT HABITAT. THE LAW REQUIRES THAT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE INDIANA BAT SPECIES , TREE REMOVAL CANNOT OCCUR BETWEEN APRIL AND OCTOBER, SO IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE CITY TO CLEAR THE TREES ON THESE PROPERTIES PRIOR TO APRIL, IN ORDER TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT AND REMAIN ON SCHEDULE FOR THE PROJECT. I CAN ANSWER ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ON GROUP A MY ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT'S THE AGGREGATE POTENTIAL VALUE ALL THE PROPERTIES BECAUSE THERE'S A DOLLAR AMOUNT APPLIED TO EACH ONE. I JUST DIDN'T ADD THEM ALL UP. YEAH I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION IN FRONT OF ME ADDED UP EITHER. OKAY? THE. THE ACQUISITION COSTS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE GRANT FROM A SUITABLE HOME, OKAY? FIND THE STATES BEING FOR IT. I JUST WAS CURIOUS WITH THE AMOUNT WAS YEAH , IT'S IN EACH ONE. BUT I DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T ADD THEM UP, OKAY? I GUESS. THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION UM THESE ARE AN ORDINANCE FOR TO APPROPRIATE PROPERTY AND EASEMENT ARE WE ARE THESE WHOLE TAKINGS ARE JUST PERSONAL EASEMENTS OR JUST DEPENDS ON THE PERSON. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE. IT'S UM WHOLE TAKING YOU MEAN THE WHOLE PROPERTY? CORRECT IT'S JUST A PIECE OF THE PROPERTY. IN FACT, IN SOME CASES VERY SMALL PIECES OF THE PROPERTY IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY BUILD THE ROAD.WE'VE BEEN VERY, VERY CONSERVATIVE. I THINK IN OUR DESIGN AND, UM AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, HAVE, UM I THINK BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH A LOT OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND IN THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT. I JUST ALSO WANT TO BE CLEAR, TOO, THAT SOME OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE GROUPING GROUPIE UM, HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATIONS WITH US. WE'RE JUST IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION BECAUSE OF THE TIMELINE. WE'RE WANTING TO PASS THIS, UM, THESE ORDINANCES NOW SO THAT IN CASE WE DO NEED TO FILE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT WITHOUT BEING DELAYED. RIGHT ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL ON ORDINANCES CLASSIFIED UNDER GROUP A. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING WHERE ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK REGARDING ORDINANCE 1920 21 22 23. NO PUBLIC COMMENT. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[01:30:01]
AND LITTLE BIT MORE EXPEDITED WAY.TS ANYONE CARE TO MAKE A STANDING COMMITTEE REPORT. REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES JOINING UPDATE FROM OFFICE HAVE 11 UPDATE MOXIE[13. REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES]
HAS BEEN ADVOCATING FOR YEARS FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF PASSENGER RAIL. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, BASED ON THEIR REPORT. THE. OHIO THE STATE OF OHIO IS ONE OF THE LARGEST METROPOLITAN AREAS THAT DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO PASSENGER RAIL. SO RECENTLY WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S RENEWED INTEREST IN PASSENGER RAIL. THE STATE OF OHIO HAS DECIDED TO APPLY FOR FEDERAL FUNDS. THE FEDERAL RAIL ADMINISTRATION. TO PROCEED WITH A POTENTIAL PLANNING PROCESS FOR THE POTENTIAL LOCATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF RAIL NETWORK THROUGHOUT THE STATE. IN THE STATES APPLICATION WOULD BE OR A CORRIDOR OF THAT'S BEEN REFERRED TO AS THREE SEASONS D, WHICH IS CINCINNATI, COLUMBUS AND CLEVELAND, ALONG WITH DAYTON. IN ADDITION TO THAT MORSI HAS AN INTEREST IN WORKING WITH UM, THE STATE AND WITH SOME ADJACENT STATES, THE STATE OF INDIANA, THE STATE OF ILLINOIS IN THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. UH AS WELL AS MICHIGAN TO CREATE A POTENTIAL CONNECTION BETWEEN CHICAGO AND PITTSBURGH THAT WOULD COME THROUGH. COLUMBUS AS WELL AS A CONNECTION TO TOLEDO AND THEN UP INTO DETROIT. SO WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS MATTERS OF SUPPORT FROM LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN THE WITHIN THE MARKS SEE PLANNING AREA. BOTH FOR THE STATE'S APPLICATION AND FOR THE MIDWEST CONNECT, WHICH WOULD BE THAT CHICAGO TO PITTSBURGH LINE AS WELL AS THE CONNECTION TO DETROIT. APPARENTLY THERE IS A THREE STEP PROCESS THAT THE STATE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR FUNDING FOR A RAIL. PROJECT. THE FIRST PHASE, WHICH IS WHAT WE WOULD BE, UH ISSUING A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR IF YOU WOULD CHOOSE TO DO SO WOULD BE TO BASICALLY DEVELOP A SCOPE, A SCHEDULE AND A COST ESTIMATE. FOR A POTENTIAL RAIL SYSTEM AROUND CONNECTION. THE SECOND PHASE WOULD ACTUALLY BE A DETAILED ROUTE PLAN. SERVICE SCHEDULE. FINANCIAL PLAN. AND THEN THAT WOULD BE FOLLOWED BY THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND ALL THE ALL OF THE NECESSARY DESIGN THAT WOULD GO INTO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CONNECTION. THE AWARD FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WOULD BE FOR $500,000. THERE'S NO MATCH REQUIRED. THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTAL IS MARCH 27TH OF THIS YEAR. COUNCIL WOULD HAVE ANY INTERESTS MARKS WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING OUR SUPPORT FOR BOTH. CLOSE CORRIDOR PROJECTS, THE ONE THAT THEY ARE PARTICULARLY TRYING TO ADVANCE AS WELL AS THE THREE SEASONS OF DEEP AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST 16 YEARS OF THE STATE.UH OF OHIO. IN PARTICULAR, THE GOVERNMENT'S OFFICE HAS SHOWN SUPPORT. TO MAKE THIS FEDERAL APPLICATION FOR PLANNING. UM SO I MEAN, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE AT LEAST FOURTH A LETTER OF SUPPORT. AGAIN THIS IS THE PLANNING PHASE OF WHAT TO SEE WHAT THE FINAL COSTS. THE LOCATIONS. THE SPEED BETWEEN DESTINATIONS. ALL THOSE THINGS WILL HAVE TO BE, YOU KNOW, ON THE TABLE BEFORE IT CAN SUPPORT THE PROJECT, BUT I THINK FROM A PLANNING STANDPOINT MAKES PERFECT SENSE AGREE TO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE BECAUSE AUSTIN, THE OPPORTUNITY IS BECAUSE IT'S CERTAINLY NECESSARY. DOWN THE ROAD. ONCE WE SIT AND TALK, ALL RIGHT? I AGREE. RIGHT. GREAT. THANKS, JOE. ALRIGHT UH, ANY UPDATE FROM THE JOINT PARKS, MR SCHULZ? NOT HERE. UM I DID HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO ONE OF THE JOINT PARK REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CITY THAT SERVES ON THE JOINT PARK. UM THEY ARE CURRENTLY CONSIDERING BIDS. THAT WERE PUT OUT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIELD HOUSE. OF COURSE, THE COST ESTIMATES HAVE CHANGED WILDLY IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT FINAL BUILD MIGHT LOOK LIKE. UM OBVIOUSLY THE JOINT PARKS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY. ON WHERE THAT POSSIBLE LOCATION FOR THE FIELDHOUSE MAY GO. NOT REALLY APPRECIATE THE JUST AFTER AN OFFICE LEADERSHIP ON THAT ISSUE, AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE TO THE JOINT PARKS WITH FINDING A LOCATION. BUT THOSE THINGS ARE STILL MUCH UNDERWAY. THEY WERE
[01:35:02]
ALSO VERY COMPLIMENTARY OF CITY STAFF ON WORKING ON THE PICKLEBALL LOCATION AND LOOK FORWARD TO PROVIDING SOME ASSISTANCE IN MANAGING THOSE COURTS. UM COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE TO THE SCHOOLS ON THE UPDATE. YES THERE WAS A MEETING LAST MONDAY. UM. QUICK NOTE. THE WINTER SPORTS SEASON WRAPPED UP FOR ALL THE TEAMS THAT GIRLS AND BOYS. BASKETBALL TEAMS BOTH LOST IN THE SECOND ROUND. COACH JACKIE GUIDED THE LADY BASKETBALL TEAM TO A FIRST ROUND VICTORY, AND THEN THEY LOST IN THE SECOND ROUND. IF YOU WILL RECALL OUR GIRLFRIEND TEAM IS THE DEFENDING STATE CHAMPION. SO THEY. TO FIGURE RUNNER UP AND THEN THEY WENT TO IN A ROW. UM THEY FINISHED FOURTH LAST WEEKEND. UH THEY LOST QUITE A FEW SWIMMERS FROM THE TEAM LAST YEAR TO A BIG TIME PROGRAMS. UH CURLING MEETING WAS AN INDIVIDUAL CHAMPION IN BOTH 100 BACK IN 100 FREE SIX TIMES THEY CHANGE. YES, SHE'S PRETTY INCREDIBLE SWIMMER. SHOULD BE TAKING HER TALENTS. FLORIDA FLORIDA SOMEWHERE SOMEWHERE FUN? YEAH. UM. SO ANOTHER GREAT SEASON WE HAD. JOSH SMITH FINISHED THIRD AND WON HIS EVENTS. SO THE BOYS TEAM THEY WERE TOP 10 AS WELL. SO ANOTHER STRONG SEASON FROM THE SWIM GROUP. UM, STAYING ON THE SPORTS BEND THE HIGH SCHOOL TURF RETURNING PROGRAM COMPLETED LAST WEEK. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR PRETTY MUCH ALL WINTER. AND UH, I KNOW ALL THE SPORTS HAVE BEEN DISPLACED, INCLUDING TRACK TEAMS AND EVERYBODY BUT IT'S WRAPPED UP AND GOT A CHANCE TO PLAY ON IT ON SUNDAY AND FANTASTIC. ALL THE TEAMS ARE GOING TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE. NOW, UM IT'S ACTUALLY SO GOOD THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS DECIDED TO TURF, THE PLAYGROUND. OVER IN THE SCHOOL. THEY'VE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR. THERE'S THE DIRT PATCH KIND OF IN BETWEEN THE TWO SEPARATE PLAYGROUNDS AND THEY TRIED TO SEAT IT. THEY TRIED TO SODDED THE 3000 KIDS A DAY ON IT, AND NOTHING ELSE WORKS. SO THIS SUMMER THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO TURF. THE PLAYGROUND, UH, IN WHICH WILL BE IT WILL MAKE THE JANITOR STAFF VERY HAPPY AT SCHOOLS, AND I'M SURE A LOT OF PARENTS AS WELL, UH, DON'T HAVE TO DO LAUNDRY AS SOON AS OUR KIDS GET HOME FROM SCHOOL. UM SO THAT'LL BE FUN FOR THE KIDS. IT WAS A PRETTY SHORT MEETING ITSELF. UM IT WAS ACTUALLY A LONG EXECUTIVE SESSION, BUT THE MAIN TAKEAWAYS DISTRICT PUTTING TO THE OTHER PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE OPEN TO APPLICATIONS THAT YEAH. BOARD MEMBERS ARE JUST GOING TO POINT, FOLKS SO THAT IS ONGOING. THAT'S WHY I GOT A NEW SCHOOL. THAT WAS THE LAST ONE.YEAH. DID THEY DO THE TRACK AS PART OF THE THAT HAS NOT BEEN REDONE YET HAS NOT BEEN REDONE.
JUST THE TURF. I THINK THEY DID SOME REPAIRS TO ONLY ONE, ESPECIALLY LAST YEAR. BUT THE REST OF THE TRACK IS STILL BAD SHAPE. THAT'S NOT GREAT. OKAY OKAY, JUST A REMINDER. THE INITIAL PER FIELD AND ENOUGH RESOURCES TO PAY FOR THE SECOND TOUR FIELD GROWTH PROPERLY FUNDED, SO IT'S GONNA BE THAT IF THAT PATTERNS TO CONTINUE, THE COMMUNITY'S GONNA HAVE TO COME TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS TO COME UP WITH SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO HAVE A REPLACEMENT FIELD READY. GOOD TO KNOW. ALRIGHT. ANY UPDATE FROM THE TOWNSHIP? THEY DID HAVE A MEETING LAST WEEK. JUST A COUPLE ITEMS OF NORTHERN NOTE. THEY'RE WORKING ON POOL RENOVATIONS AND SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO REPLACE THE POOL SLIDE. THEY'RE LOOKING AT A COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN 152 $170,000, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH OF THE FOUNDATION AND BASE THEY MAY HAVE TO WORK ON THIS SLIDE.
STRUCTURE. SO THE POOL IS REACHING. I DON'T KNOW. 120 PLUS 30 YEARS 25 YEARS AT LEAST, YES , AND OBVIOUSLY SHOWING ITS AGE. AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY AND PROBABLY GOING FORWARD. OKAY? FIRE DEPARTMENT. RECORD NUMBER OF RUNS AGAIN, CONSISTENTLY GROWING, THEY'RE BACK TO ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, LEVEL PRE COVID AND AGAIN PRIMARILY TNT ROADS. THERE WAS A SELECTION AND APPOINTMENT IN THE HAVE SEEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT GREG CARBERRY WAS PROMOTED TO ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF, WHICH IS A GREAT THING HE STARTED DEPART TIME OR IN 1995 97 FULL TIME LIEUTENANT. ONE CAPTAIN, AND OH, FIVE. BATTALION CHIEF IN 2013. I THINK IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THEIR ABILITY TO PROMOTE FROM WITHIN, IN ADDITION TO A LOT OF OFFICE TRIP PROMOTIONS THEY HAD
[01:40:04]
LAST YEAR AS WELL. SO THAT'S BIG NEWS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR DIRK. REPORT OF CITY OFFICIALS.[14. REPORTS OF CITY OFFICIALS]
JOE AND I HAD A CHANCE TO ATTEND THE MARRIAGE MANAGERS ASSOCIATION MEETING THIS LAST FRIDAY DOWN IN GROVE CITY AT THE SWEET CO HEADQUARTERS, ACTUALLY THEIR NEW HEADQUARTERS. THE NEW BUILDINGS ARE GREAT. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D SEE LIKE A DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.YOU KNOW VERY OPEN AND YOU KNOW A GREAT ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE. WE'VE GOT AN UPDATE FROM JOE LOMBARDI, THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WAS MAINTAINING THE SAME TIPPING FEES THEY HAVE FOR DECADES. SOME MAINTAINING THAT COST FOR CARRIERS. UM, THERE WAS SOME TALK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS ABOUT INCREASING TIPPING FEES, SO EVERY TIME A TRUCK COMES IN AND THEY DUMPED TRASH, THEY HAVE TO PAY A TIPPING FEE. AND THAT'S HOW THEY GENERATE REVENUE IN LARGE PART TO PAY FOR THE LANDFILL. SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE RECYCLING EFFORTS AND HOW WELL THEY'VE DONE IN THAT REGARD THE TRASH STORING FACILITY OVER HERE AND WORSE ROAD WENT THROUGH A VERY SUBSTANTIAL MODERNIZATION A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO VISIT THAT SITE, IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING TO WATCH HOW THE TRASH DOESN'T GET SORTED. UM AND I THINK THE MAYOR FROM BEXLEY WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF TRUST, SHORT SORTING AND WHAT A GREAT USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ROBOTIC EQUIPMENT. SO HE HAS SOME BRIGHT, BRIGHT IDEAS ON THE FUTURE TRASH SORTING. THEY ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE REVENUE THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO GENERATE FROM THE CAPTURE OF METHANE GAS, BUT THEY ESTIMATED AT THE BEGINNING OF THAT PROJECT WOULD BE ABOUT TWO MILLION A YEAR, AND I THINK THEY'RE RECOUPING ABOUT 8 TO 9 MILLION A YEAR. BP HAS JUST PURCHASED THAT VENDOR. UM AND, UH, ANTICIPATES HAVING SOME TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS AND THAT NUMBER, MAYBE EVEN INCREASING. IN THE FUTURE. SO AGAIN GOOD PRESENTATION FROM WACO. AGAIN.
THEY DID CAUTION THAT THE OUTSIDE USE OF THE CURRENT 300 ACRES IS ABOUT 60 YEARS, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO AS A AS A CENTRAL HOWARD COMMUNITY START COMING UP WITH WAYS AND PLANS TO EITHER REDUCE OUR LANDFILL USE. UTILIZE THE AREA THAT WE HAVE MORE EFFICIENTLY OR LOOK FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE. UM BUT THAT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA 60 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, BUT WE NEED TO START PLAYING FORWARD NOW. NOT SURPRISING. ANOTHER TOPIC OF CONVERSATION AT THE MAYOR'S MANAGER ASSOCIATION HAD TO DO WITH HOUSING. IN PART IN RESPONSE TO THE CITY OF COLUMBUS AND MARY GUNTHER'S OPINION PIECE CHALLENGING THE SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES TO DO MORE, UM, ON THERE, YOU KNOW? TO DO MORE TO HELP SOLVE THE HOUSING SHORTAGE IN CENTRAL OHIO. UM WE'RE STILL ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING WITH MORE PC IN THE HOUSING STUDY AND MORE TO COME ON THAT, BUT AGAIN, THERE'S NOT SURPRISED THAT ANYONE THAT PAYS ATTENTION CENTRAL ISLAND THEY'RE STILL HOUSING SHORTAGE AND THAT THERE IS SOME EXPECTATION THAT THE SUBURBS START TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THAT REGARD. UM, IT GETS COMPLICATED. THERE'S SOME LIMITING FACTORS THAT YOU KNOW THE SUBURBS FACE THAT CITY OF COLUMBUS DOES NOT. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE JOE AND I WILL SPEND SOME TIME. EDUCATION EDUCATING OUR PARTNERS AND WHAT SOME OF THOSE CHALLENGES ARE. SO THAT THEY CAN EITHER HELP US OVERCOME THEM, OR AT LEAST APPRECIATE. THAT WE'RE NOT OPERATING IN A VACUUM. WE HAVE OTHER THINGS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO DEAL WITH MORE TO COME ON THAT, BUT IT WILL BE A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION . I'M SURE FOR THE NEXT DECADE OR SO. AS WE GROW AS A REGION. ANYTHING FROM THE CLERK OF COUNCIL JUST THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET ANOTHER INVITATION FOR ME REGARDING THE BILL. RUSH BENCH DEDICATION AT REST PARK. THERE'S NOW AN EVENT THAT'S SEPARATE HAPPENING ON EARTH DAY. THAT'S THE SATURDAY APRIL 22ND. AND THAT ONE'S GOING TO BE AT 10 A.M. AND SO I'M GOING TO SEND YOU OUT AN INVITATION TO COUNSEL FOR THAT AS WELL. SEE IF YOU CAN BE THERE. AS BEING HOSTED BY THE MAP FAMILY. PETER BARNES IS WORKING ON THAT. I THINK JENNIFER LOPEZ IS WORKING ON THAT ONE, TOO. UM DIRECTOR JULIE , DO YOU EXPECT ANOTHER CITY EVENT ON ARBOR DAY OR WE JUST BUY FOR KEEPING THE TWO? NO I DON'T EXPECT ANOTHER EVENT RELATED TO THE BENCH. DEDICATION WILL JUST LEAVE OUR REBATE CELEBRATION FOR THAT FOLLOWING FRIDAY. UPDATE COUNCIL'S INVITATION THAT ARBOR DAY AND SO NOW IT'S JUST THE ARBOR DAY. THE PROCLAMATION, THE KIDS PLAYING IN THE TREES AND SO AND SO FORTH, AND THEN YOU'LL GET ONE FOR THEIR EARLIER EARTH. DAY DAY FOR THE BILL. RUSH BENCH. DEDICATION UNDERSTAND? MARY LIGHTBODY IS BEEN INVITED. I THINK SHE'S COMMITTED. THAT'S MY LAST UNDERSTANDING THEY'RE GOING TO DO A TRASH PICKUP AND BRINGING BIG GOODS. SO YOU'LL HAVE THOSE TWO THINGS TO SEPARATE INVITATIONS. JUST PAY ATTENTION AS THEY COME IN, AND THAT'S ALL FOR ME. AND BY THE WAY, NOT RANDOM GOODS, BUT
[01:45:01]

UM THE REALITY OF IT IS THAT WITH THE NUMBER OF FOLKS MOVING INTO THE REGION WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO START THINKING OF HOUSING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST, HAVING ONE ACRE LOTS PER HOME. UH AT SOME POINT YOU RUN OUT OF LAND, SO WE HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE IN ITS USE. BUT NO MATTER WHAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS, I THINK THERE'S A COMMITMENT FROM CITY COUNCIL THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE IT'S HIGH QUALITY. UM WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OPEN MINDED. ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE ANY CITY SO ONE THAT COLUMBUS ON YOUR BUILDING? NO HARLEM ROOM AND SIMPLE COLLEGE. THOUSANDS OF UNITS OF APARTMENTS. DO YOU HAVE ANY INPUT IN THAT AT ALL OVER THAT? NO IT'S OBVIOUSLY IT'S YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, IT'S THE CITY OF COLUMBUS. UH WHILE THEY MIGHT TAKE OUR FEEDBACK, AND, UH, GIVE IT THE, UM WAIT THAT THEY BELIEVE IT DESERVES. I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE IN PLACE. I THINK. ALRIGHT SUGAR MIRROR FRANKLIN COUNTY. HE WANTS TO CONTROL THE WHOLE WORKS. AFFORDS THEM CONCERNED. I BELIEVE IN DOING WORK IN A BUNKER, ONLY PEOPLE'S HOMES, MILLION YEARS, GUYS, BUCKEYES.

YOU KNOW? COLUMBUS IS DOING GRAB FOR THEM CONCERNED ABOUT NORTH OKAY? AND THAT'S WHERE WE MOVED OUT HERE. I'VE BEEN HERE 45 YEARS. COLOMBIA DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM. THAT'S ONE THING. BUT I'VE LIVED HERE GENERATIONS. I DIDN'T MOVE HERE TO STAY HERE. TWO YEARS, FIVE YEARS 10 YEARS. I'M GOING TO STAY AS LONG AS I CAN. BUT I DON'T PARTICULARLY CARE FOR SOMETHING TO THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN. YEAH. I MEAN, I'M NOT GONNA DISAGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID JIM. BUT THAT'S WHY I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
