AND I WILL HAND THIS TO THE CLERK, SO ON PAGE TWO, ON THE PARAGRAPH THAT BEGINS, BOARD MEMBER AITKEN REMARKED, I'D LIKE TO MAKE SOME REVISIONS. SO AT THE END OF THE STATE OF THE SENTENCE THAT, OR AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE, IT ENDS WITH WHAT'S POLITE AND ASKS NICELY, STRIKE THE NEXT SENTENCE, REPLACE IT WITH. HOWEVER, AS A BOARD MEMBER, HE MUST USE THE FOUR CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY COUNCIL THAT MUST BE MET IN ORDER TO GRANT A WAIVER. AND AGAIN, I'LL GIVE YOU THIS LANGUAGE PRECISELY IN PARAGRAPH ONE IN THE NEXT, IN THE LAST SENTENCE, PREVIEW THAT WITH. MR. AITKEN NOTED THAT IN 2002, 2006, 2007, COUNCIL KNEW CONCRETE, ET CETERA AND PARAGRAPH NUMBER TWO, IN THE SENTENCE THAT BEGINS THE CONCERN, THE CONCERN FOR MR. AITKEN HERE IS THAT IT IS THAT IT CONCRETE IS CONTRARY TO THE LIST AND IS A NOTABLE OMISSION.AND FINALLY, AT THE END OF THE FOUR PARAGRAPH, FOUR NUMBERED PARAGRAPHS, ADD THE FOLLOWING.
THEREFORE MR. AITKEN FELT THE GROUNDS WERE NOT PRESENT TO GRANT A WAIVER. FURTHER DOWN ON THIS PARAGRAPH ON PAGE THREE, ON THE PARAGRAPH THAT BEGINS, MR. BAILEY, AND RIGHT NOW IT SAYS MR. BAILEY PAVERS. WE PROBABLY SHOULD SAY MR. BAILEY SAID THE PAVERS AND IN THE PARAGRAPH IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT STARTS, MR. AITKEN ASKED MR. BAILEY WHETHER HE WOULD LIKE THE BOARD TO WAIT TO VOTE TO REMARK THAT ALTHOUGH HE IS SYMPATHETIC, THE BOARD IS CONSTRAINED BY THE DEGARS AT AN S AND THE ORDINANCE PERIOD. AND THAT IS WHAT I HAD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER, ACTION ON THE MINUTES OR CORRECTIONS TO THE MINUTES FROM THE BOARD? I'M WITH THAT REVISION. I WOULD MOVE APPROVAL. SECOND. MR. ITEM. YES MR. STROLLER? YES. MR. BROWN?

SO AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO ADMINISTER THE OATH TO ALL WITNESSES AND APPLICANTS WHO PLAN TO ADDRESS THE BOARD. IF YOU PLEASE, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ARE THERE ANY VISITORS HERE TONIGHT FOR ITEMS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA? SEEING NONE, I'M GOING TO MOVE[VI. Cases]
FORWARD WITH OUR FIRST CASE OF A OR B 54 2024 FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR A WAIVER TO ALLOW CONCRETE DRIVEWAY AT 4986 JONESTOWN ROAD. THE APPLICANT IS AMY AND DAVID BAILEY. STAFF DO WE HAVE A REPORT? YES. SO, SIERRA CRADDOCK SMITH WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND TONIGHT, SO I'LL DO THIS PRESENTATION ON HER BEHALF. SO THIS WAS HEARD AND TABLED LAST MONTH IN ORDER TO ALLOW A FULL QUORUM OF THE ARB, TO WEIGH IN ON THIS WAIVER REQUEST. SO CITY CODE ONLY ALLOWS FOR DRIVEWAYS TO BE ASPHALT STONE, SIMULATED STONE, AND BRICK PAVEMENT. SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING, TO HAVE A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY. AND IT'S LOCATED ALONG US 62 HERE, THE MORSE ROAD ROUNDABOUT IS JUST TO THE SOUTH. AND THIS IS THE, OXFORD SUBDIVISION. SO CURRENTLY THE DRIVEWAY IS GRAVEL. IT'S ABOUT 120FT LONG. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO, PAVE THE WHOLE THING IN CONCRETE AND EXTENDED SLIGHTLY IN THE REAR, WHAT IS, ONE UNIQUE THING ABOUT THE[00:05:05]
FEATURE OF THE LOT IS THAT THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING CONCRETE BECAUSE THE NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH CURRENTLY IS CONCRETE, AND THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THEIR GOAL IS TO CREATE A U SHAPED CONCRETE DRIVEWAY BETWEEN BOTH HOMES. SO STAFF WENT OUT AND DID A SURVEY OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE TWO EXISTING GRAVEL DRIVEWAYS. THE LOT IN QUESTION AGAIN IS IN RED HERE. THE AGAIN, THE NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH HAS CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS AND THEN THE REMAINING THREE INDIVIDUAL LOTS ON JOHNSTOWN ROAD HAVE ASPHALT DRIVEWAYS. SO THE DJR IS OUTLINE APPROPRIATE DRIVEWAY MATERIALS TO ACHIEVE CONSISTENCY WITHIN SUBDIVISIONS BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. HOWEVER THIS IS A STANDALONE SITE THAT'S NOT PART OF A SUBDIVISION, AND IT HAS A DRIVEWAY THAT CONNECTS TO AND IS PROPOSED TO ACT AS AN EXTENSION OF THE NEIGHBORING CONCRETE DRIVEWAY. AND JUST TO NOTE FOR THE BOARD, I DON'T BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE TONIGHT. AND SO THE, THE BOARD CAN TAKE ACTION ON THIS IF THEY WANT. I THINK HISTORICALLY THEY HAVE TABLED IT. IN FAIRNESS TO THE APPLICANT. I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF TABLING IT AGAIN FOR TO BE FAIR TO THE APPLICANT, I'M. YEAH. WE'VE NOT HEARD FROM THE APPLICANT IN TERMS OF. UNLESS THAT'S DONE. YEAH NO, NO. IF WE ARE TO TABLE IT EXCUSE ME. IS IT CAN WE HAVE DISCUSSION OR IS IT NOT APPROPRIATE TO HAVE DISCUSSION WITHOUT THEM? IS IT PRODUCTIVE WHILE THE WHOLE BOARD IS HERE TO JUST REPEAT WHAT THE REASONING WAS? BECAUSE WE ENDED WE ENDED UP TABLING IT BECAUSE WE WERE WE WERE DIVIDED TWO TWO. YEAH. AND CERTAINLY IF THE BOARD HAS DISCUSSION TONIGHT, WE CAN PASS THAT ALONG TO THE APPLICANT FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION. BECAUSE THE APPLICANT WAS HERE FOR, I THINK, AT LEAST FOR THE REASONS, FOR THE REASON AS REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES. SO I'LL JUST FOR THE BOARD'S FOR THE OTHER MEMBERS PURPOSE IN LOOKING AT THE FOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR WAIVE, I FELT THAT GIVEN THAT IN 2006 AND 2007, WHEN THE BOARD PASSED THE DGRS, THEY WERE AWARE THAT CONCRETE WAS AN OPTION AND THEY DID NOT INCLUDE IT IN THE DGRS, AND SO ON THAT HAND, IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SAY THAT IT'S AN APPROPRIATE DESIGN OR PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT, CONSIDERING THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT HAS PROPOSED RECOGNIZING, HOWEVER, THAT THERE IS THE DRIVEWAY NEXT DOOR. SO AS TO THE FIRST ONE, I WAS MORE OR LESS ON THE FENCE AS TO WHETHER THAT WAS MET. I MIGHT TIP IT THE OTHER ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I GO TO THE SECOND ONE, WHICH WAS THAT IT NEEDS TO THAT THE PROPOSAL NEEDS TO SUBSTANTIALLY MEET THE INTENT OF THE STANDARD THAT THE APPLICANT IS ATTEMPTING TO SEEK A WAIVER FROM, AND IT'S WITHIN THE GOALS OF ALL THE VARIOUS THINGS AND THE CONCERN HERE WAS THAT CONCRETE IS NOT ON THAT LIST AND IS A NOTABLE OMISSION. AND THE APPLICANT HAD OUTLINED IN THE, IN THE, IN THE PROPOSAL THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT ASPHALT BECAUSE OF VARIOUS THINGS THAT ASPHALT COULD LEACH AND DO OTHER THINGS. AND AGAIN, MY REACTION WAS THERE ARE OTHER THINGS OTHER THAN ASPHALT.THERE'S STONE, THERE'S PAVERS, THERE'S GRAVEL, AND ET CETERA. AND SO I FELT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT COUNCIL KNEW ABOUT CONCRETE DID NOT SPECIFY IT TO ME, MEANT THAT THAT REQUIREMENT TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY MEET THE INTENT OF THE STANDARD THAT THE APPLICANT IS ATTEMPTING TO SEEK A WAIVER FROM, THAT WASN'T MET HERE, AND THEN I GIVEN THAT I FOUND THAT THAT WASN'T MET, I DIDN'T GO AHEAD TO THEN ASSESS THE OTHER TWO. THAT WAS MY MR. HINSON CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF. I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THIS. RIGHT. AND I'M ON THE FENCE ON THIS AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE, DENIED CONCRETE ON OTHER PROPERTIES, KITZMILLER ROAD AND, ONE OTHER ADDRESS I CAN'T RECAL, JERSEY DRIVE. AND THIS IS ALMOST IDENTICAL. OTHER THAN THAT, THERE'S A CONCRETE DRIVE NEXT DOOR TO THE KITZMILLER ROAD. I SEE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND THE KITZMILLER ROAD PROPERTIES. I SEE. NO, THE FACT THAT THEY THEY TOUCH, IF THEY OWN BOTH PROPERTIES, THAT I MIGHT LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY, BUT THEY DON'T. I THINK IT'S ODD AND COULD CREATE FUTURE ISSUES TO HAVE CONNECTING DRIVEWAYS FOR ADJOINING PROPERTIES. AND THERE'S A LOT OF CONCRETE IN THIS PROPOSAL. A LOT OF DRIVEWAY SURFACE. SO IT'S MY CONCERN AND THOUGHT. MR. MANAGER. THAT I
[00:10:05]
THINK OUR APPLICANT HAS JUST ARRIVED. YES WE, MR. HINSON AND I JUST REPEATED WHAT WE SAID THE LAST TIME I GOT TO BRING UP. AND SO I THINK THAT MR. STRAW OR MR. BROWN HAS HAD OPPOSING VIEWS.MR. BROWN, ARE YOU GOING TO GO AHEAD? SO MY, MY, MY TAKE ON IT WAS THAT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE SITE SPECIFIC, THAT IT CONNECTS. IT'S ACTUALLY CONNECTING. IT'S NOT JUST AN ADJACENT DRIVEWAY.
IT IS IT IS CONNECTING THAT THE CONCRETE WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. YEAH.
AND I FELT THE SAME WAY, IF IT WAS A, IT IS A STANDALONE SITUATION. IF THE DRIVER IS INDEPENDENT, COMPLETELY AGREE. I COULD GO BOTH WAYS. I SEE IT BOTH WAYS, BUT I THOUGHT THE SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS HERE, NEW CONCRETE ISN'T GOING TO MATCH OLD CONCRETE, BUT ASPHALT IS NOT GOING TO MATCH OLD CONCRETE AT ALL. SO I FELT IT WAS, APPROPRIATE TO GRANT THE WAIVER. THANK YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS OR REMARKS ABOUT THIS. I THINK THE REASONING BEHIND THE SELECTION OF ASPHALT VERSUS CONCRETE BACK IN 2007 OR 2008, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE UNDERLYING REASON WAS UNLESS IT WAS WHAT YOU SAID, BUT I IT COULD HAVE BEEN AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE IN MY MIND IF IT WERE TO HAVE BEEN FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY, BECAUSE HAVING NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE IT WOULD BE ELECTIVE TO CHOOSE EITHER CONCRETE OR ASPHALT ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER WOULD REALLY NOT BE A STRONG ESTHETIC CHOICE. NOW, ONCE AGAIN, NOW I'M SPECULATING ABOUT WHAT THE UNDERLYING CAUSE WAS, BUT TO ME, CONSISTENCY DOES CARRY MERIT. IN THIS DISCUSSION, I WOULD SAY, HAVING INSTALLED BOTH MANY TIMES THAT AN ARGUMENT REALLY CAN'T BE MADE ABOUT THE DURABILITY OR FUNCTION OR UTILITY OF ONE VERSUS THE OTHER.
THEY BOTH REQUIRE THEIR OWN UNIQUE MAINTENANCE. THEY BOTH REQUIRE THEIR OWN UNIQUE CARE.
SO I DON'T THINK THAT THE DECISION SHOULD BE BASED ON THE MERITS OF SOME KIND OF DURABILITY ISSUE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT CAN BE HANDLED INDEPENDENTLY OF OUR CHARGE, I DO THINK IT DOES MATTER, FOR THE SAKE OF CONSISTENCY, THAT THE ADJACENT HOME DOES HAVE CONCRET, THAT THAT'S MEANINGFUL IN THE IN THE DEBATE. TO ME, AND I DO AGREE THAT MR. BROWN'S COMMENT THAT THAT HAVING THE TWO SIDE BY SIDE MAY NOT REALLY ACHIEVE AN OUTCOME THAT ANY OF US ARE HAPPY WITH. MY LAST REMARK IS, I'M VERY CAUTIOUS ABOUT SETTING A PRECEDENT THAT WOULD, IN THE LACK OF A UNIQUE SITE CONDITION, WOULD OPEN THE DOOR TO RECONSIDERATION OF THIS GOING FORWARD. SO I THINK WHILE I SEE MERIT FOR THE CAUSE GIVEN THE STANDARD THAT WE HAVE TO MEASURE OUR DECISION ON, I WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO AGREE TO THE APPROVAL. THAT'S MY I GUESS THAT DIDN'T REALLY INVOLVE A QUESTION, BY THE WAY, BUT I'LL AT LEAST, ACKNOWLEDGE THE COMMENTS. SO, MR. STONE, YEARS FROM VIEWING THIS FROM THE OUTSIDE, LOOKING IN, BEFORE HEARING ANY COMMENTS AND, AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ANY FEEDBACK, I, I LOOKED AT IT AND THOUGHT ABOUT HOW I WOULD HANDLE IT AND, IS MY CONSIDERATION THAT UNDERSTANDING THE IDEA OF PASSING THE WAIVER HAS SOME SORT OF IMPACT ON SETTING A PRECEDENT. I DO BELIEVE THAT WITH THE STANDALONE CONDITION, IT'S NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD CONDITION AND IT HAS A CONNECTION THAT THERE'S ROOM FOR ACCEPTANCE IN THIS CASE. SO I WOULD I WOULD FIND IT TO BE APPROPRIATE. SO WE KNOW WE HAVE NOT ADVANCED OUR OUR. IT'S ALL DOWN TO ONE. WELL AND SHE CAN'T VOTE. YES. SHE'S RECUSED I'M RECUSING MYSELF. SO OKAY. ABSOLUTELY. NO OKAY. SO DO WE NEED TO DISPOSE IT. DISPOSE OF IT, DOES THE APPLICANT WANT TO. IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, WE'LL SWEAR YOU IN NOW. AND WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE. SO SINCE WE HAVE TO DO THIS IN THE NEGATIVE WAY, OR IN THE POSITIVE WAY, I WOULD MOVE APPROVAL OF APPLICATION ARB 54 2024 TO GRANT THE WAIVER IS MY MOTION, AND I WOULD SECOND THAT. MR. ITEM NO. MR. BROWN. YES. MR. HENSON? YES
[00:15:16]
MR. STROLLER YES. MR. MALITZ NO. MR. DAVEY. YES MISS MOORE RECUSED. THE MOTION PASSES WITH FOUR VOTES IN FAVOR AND THREE VOTES OPPOSED. THE MEMBERS WHO VOTED AGAINST IT WOULD MINE WOULDN'T MIND RESTATING THEIR REASONS. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THE REASON STATED IN THE MINUTES. THANK YOU. SAME FOR MY REMARKS. OKAY. MOVING ON, OUR NEXT CASE IS FDP 53 2024 FOR THE HAMLET. FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND WAIVERS. THE APPLICANT IS KNOWN AS MASTER DEVELOPMENT LLC.CARE OF MR. AARON UNDERHILL. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT? YES. THANK YOU. SURE WE DO. SO AS YOU MENTIONED, THIS APPLICATION IS FOR FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE HAMLET PROJECT, THE HAMLET SITE IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST, SOUTHWEST WHILE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST CORNERS OF THE 605 AND CENTRAL COLLEGE INTERSECTION. I'LL SHOW YOU A MAP HERE IN A SECOND, BUT I'M SURE EVERYONE HERE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE THIS SITE IS AT. SO JUST SO EVERYONE, EITHER FOLKS AT HOME OR FOLKS IN THE ROOM, I'M SURE YOU ALL NOTICED THAT WE ORGANIZED JUST KIND OF DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE APPLICATION, WE ORGANIZED EVERYTHING INTO BINDERS FOR YOU GUYS TO HELP NAVIGATE STAFF MATERIALS AND THE, THE MATERIALS THAT WERE SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT, SO FOLKS AT HOME OR ANYONE HERE IN ATTENDANCE CAN ACCESS THESE MATERIALS. WE HAVE EXTRA BINDERS AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM, AND WE ALSO, IF YOU USE THE QR CODES, YOU CAN ACCESS THE MATERIALS DIGITALLY. SO I KNOW WE WENT OVER THIS A LITTLE BIT, LAST, LAST MONTH, BUT I JUST WANTED TO TOUCH ON IT AGAIN, AGAIN FOR FOLKS AT HOME. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WATCHING TONIGHT. SO A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ON THE HAMLET SITE, AND THE APPLICATION, FROM WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY, ENVISIONED TO NOW. SO BACK IN 2022, THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED A AMENDMENTS OR A FOCUS AREA. THE HAMLET FOCUS AREA, INTO THE ENGAGE STRATEGIC PLAN. THIS DOCUMENT, REALLY LAID OUT THE VISION FOR WHAT A HAMLET SHOULD BE AND ASSOCIATED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WERE INCLUDED IN THAT DOCUMENT. LATER IN 2022, THE APPLICANT REZONE THE PROPERTY.
CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE REZONING, TO ALLOW A HAMLET TO BE DEVELOPED ON THE SITE, THE THERE'S A ZONING TEXT IN PLACE THAT CONTEMPLATES AND PROVIDES DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THIS PROJECT. SO THE THIRD BOX HERE, AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT TONIGHT, THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS IS THE APPLICANT HAS TO RECEIVE APPROVAL FOR A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND FINAL PLAT APPLICATION. ONCE THEY GET THOSE APPROVALS, THEY CAN MOVE INTO THEIR ENGINEERING AND BUILDING PERMITS AND THEN START CONSTRUCTION. SO FOR A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION, THIS IS REALLY A, A FINAL CHECK IS A GOOD WAY TO LOOK AT IT TO MAKE SURE THAT, WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS PROPOSING MATCHES THE STANDARDS OF THE ZONING TEXT. SO WE, WE WILL SEE A DETAILED SITE PLAN, ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS, YOU KNOW, SIZES OF UNITS AND DIFFERENT ENGINEERING PLANS AS THEY EXIST TODAY. SO HAMLET, FINAL DEVELOPMENT, DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATIONS HAVE TO BE REVIEWED BY THREE BOARDS. THE FIRST BOARD IS THE PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD. THIS IS AN ADVISORY BOARD THAT REVIEWS ALL OF THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE DESIGNATIONS, AND MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO PLANNING COMMISSION, SO THE APPLICANT VISITED. GOSH, LET ME GET MY DATES WRONG EARLY AUGUST. I THINK IT WAS THE PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD AND RECEIVED UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. WITH SOME CONDITIONS, THOSE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, THOSE CONDITIONS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN FULLY INTEGRATED INTO WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED. WITH THE CURRENT SUBMITTAL, THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD, WHICH IS THIS BOARD HERE, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IS ANOTHER ADVISORY BOARD THAT REVIEWS THE FULL FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION AND MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. AND THE NEW ALBANY PLANNING COMMISSION TAKES FINAL ACTION ON THE APPLICATION. SO GETTING INTO THE SITE A LITTLE BIT TO HELP ORIENT EVERYONE. SO THIS IS THE THIS IS CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD. THIS IS 605, EVERYTHING THAT'S IN COLOR HERE IS WHAT IS PROPOSED AS PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. SO THE THIS THE SITE IS A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS REALLY ORGANIZED AROUND
[00:20:04]
GREEN SPACE, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT, TALK ABOUT HERE IN A LITTLE BIT. THIS IS THE SUGAR RUN PARK THAT'S BEING PROPOSED AND IS USED AS AN ORGANIZATIONAL ELEMENT FOR THE REST OF THE PROJECT, THERE IS DIFFERENT RESIDENTIAL SECTIONS, SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE, THE PROJECT HERE. AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE, EACH OF THOSE HERE IN A SECOND, BUT REALLY TH, THE CRITICAL PART AND WHAT MAKES THIS A MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IS THIS COMMERCIAL NODE RIGHT HERE.AND THE SUB AREA AGAIN, I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THIS HERE IN A SECOND. BUT THIS REALLY, ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE PARK AND THIS COMMERCIAL NODE REALLY HELPS FULFILL THE VISION OF WHAT WAS LAID OUT IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN FOR WHAT A HAMLET SHOULD BE. AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY COMMUNITY. SO THE SITE IS BROKEN UP INTO FIVE DIFFERENT SUB AREAS AS ENVISIONED IN THE ZONING TEXT. AND WE'VE OUTLINED THOSE HERE ON THE SCREEN. AND WE'LL TAKE A MINUTE TO WALK. YOU THROUGH WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IN EACH OF THOSE AREAS. AGAIN, GENERALLY IN SUB AREA ONE, WE HAVE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS A HIGH END LUXURY FLATS BUILDING HERE. SUB AREA TWO.
IT'S ALL TOWNHOMES. SUB AREA THREE. IT'S A MIXTURE OF DUPLEXES AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. SUB AREA FOUR MAKES UP THE SUGAR RUN PARK THAT IS PROPOSED AND THEN SUB AREA FIVE IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED AS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THESE WILL BE DEVELOPED VERY SIMILARLY TO LIKE ELY CROSSING. THE ELY CROSSING NEIGHBORHOOD, ASHTON GROVE AND THE NEW ALBANY COUNTRY CLUB. ALL CUSTOM HOMES WILL BE LOCATED INSIDE AREA FIVE. SO THIS IS A LITTLE I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO SEE, BUT AGAIN, ALL THIS MATERIAL IS IN YOUR BINDERS SO YOU CAN GET A BETTER LOOK AT THE GRAPHICS. BUT THESE ARE ALL THE PARK, LAND AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENTS THAT ARE BEING DEDICATED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. SO AGAIN, WE HAVE THE SUGAR RUN PARK AS THE ORGANIZING ELEMENT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE ADJACENT, GREEN NODES OR GREEN PARKLETS THAT ARE PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE ZONING DISTRICT TO KIND OF TIE, ALL THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SITE, BACK TO GREEN SPACE AND THEN BACK DOWN INTO, THE, THE SUGAR RUN PARK THERE, IN TOTAL. SO THE CITY CODE DOES REQUIRE 25% OF THE TOTAL DEVELOPABLE AREA TO BE DEVELOPED OR TO BE DEDICATED OR MADE UP OF PARKLAND AND OPEN SPACE. AGAIN, 25%. THE APPLICANT IS FAR EXCEEDING THIS REQUIREMENT BY PROVIDING 33% OF THE ENTIRE AREA AS PARKLAND AND OPEN SPACE. SO TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT, THE APPLICANT ON THE, THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SITE, WHICH IS WHAT WHAT'S SHOWN HERE ON THE SCREEN, THEY WILL HAVE A NATURE PLAY ELEMENT KIND OF TUCKED BACK IN HERE INTO THE WOODS, AND THEN THERE'S A PLAYGROUND WHICH IS SHOWN UP HERE. THAT IS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT HERE, BOTH OF THESE SERVICES, YOU KNOW, AS MOST OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW, THE CITY HAS GONE, UNDERTAKEN SIGNIFICANT, RESPONSIBILITY TO UPGRADE ALL OF THE EXISTING PARKLAND OR PUBLICLY OWNED PARKLAND AND OPEN SPACE AREAS IN THE COMMUNITY, THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPORTANT TO ALL NEW ALBANY RESIDENTS AS PART OF THAT PROCESS. THAT INCLUDES MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE MATERIALS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE OF ALL ABILITIES. THE APPLICANT IS PROVIDING A ACCESSIBLE, MATERIAL, AND AS PART OF THAT, BOTH THE NATURE PLAY AND THE PLAYGROUND. AND THEN WE'VE ALSO THIS WAS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL AS PART OF THE, PARKS AND TRAILS ADVISORY BOARD, WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SUFFICIENT TRASH, RECYCLING AND DOG WASTE STATIONS SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE PARK AREA, AND THAT IS BEING PROVIDED, BY THE APPLICANT, AS SHOWN ON THE PLAN. SO A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS, JUST TO HIGHLIGHT IN THIS SECTION, THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE COMMUNITY, IS MAKING SURE THERE'S PROPER SHADE FOR ALL THE PARK ELEMENTS. SO INITIALLY THE APPLICANT ACTUALLY HAD, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE PLAYGROUND ELEMENTS KIND OF TUCKED UP INTO MORE OF THE OPEN SPACE AREA.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE LISTENED TO THE COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, AS WE'VE CONTINUED TO DEVELOP LIKE ROSELAND PARK AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, AND FOLKS HAVE SOME DESIRE TO HAVE MORE SHADE. SO THEY'VE ACTUALLY TUCKED THESE BACK INTO MORE OF THE TREE LINE TO HELP PROVIDE SOME OF THAT NATURAL SHADING. FOR THOSE, FOR THOSE, THOSE EQUIPMENT PIECES, AND THEN BENCHES ALSO ARE SOMETHING THAT COMES UP A LOT IN OUR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO INSTALL THOSE HERE AS WELL. SO TAKING A LOOK AT THE STREETS HERE, THIS IMAGE REALLY KIND OF TRIES TO HIGHLIGHT IN BLUE DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE, ALL OF THE NEW RIGHT OF WAY THAT'S BEING DEDICATED TO THE CITY FOR STREETS. EACH OF THESE STREET SECTIONS, MEET OUR CITY CODE STANDARDS IN TERMS OF HAVING A TREE LAWN, A, A PUBLIC SIDEWALK AND STREET TREES
[00:25:08]
LOCATED ON EACH OF THE PROPOSED STREETS HERE. ONE THING I DID WANT TO POINT OUT, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED THIS, BUT ON STATE ROUTE 605, THERE'S PROPOSED ON STREET PARKING, FACILITIES ON THAT ROAD, WE DID WANT TO MAKE THE BOARD AWARE THAT THAT IS A CITY PROJECT, THAT STILL HAS NOT BEEN FUNDED BY OUR CITY COUNCIL. IT IS SHOWN IN THE PLAN THAT EVENTUALLY, ONE DAY, THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE INSTALLED, BUT THEY ARE NOT FUNDED, AS OF TODAY, AND THAT IS A COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT THAT IS A CITY OWNED PROJECT, YOU KNOW, WE BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PLANNING PROCESS TO REALLY HELP SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN.WE'VE HEARD FROM PEOPLE, FOLKS IN THIS AREA IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT INTERSECTION IS WAY TOO FAST, WAY TOO BIG. AND ONE WAY THAT WE CAN HELP START SLOWING TRAFFIC DOWN SO WE CAN JUSTIFY REDUCING THE SPEED LIMIT IS ADDING MORE URBAN ELEMENTS, LIKE ON STREET PARKING AND ENHANCED STREETSCAPE SECTION. SO THE CITY IS HOPING TO WORK ON GETTING THOSE IMPROVEMENTS INSTALLED, BUT WE JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT TO YOU GUYS THAT THOSE HAVE NOT BEEN FUNDED AS OF TODAY. CAN WE CAN I ASK A QUESTION OR DO YOU PREFER WE WAIT TILL THE END? YEAH. IS THERE A PROFILE FOR THE PUBLIC ALLEY? I DIDN'T SEE IT ON THE LIST. AND I SEE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE PUBLICLY DEDICATED ALLEYS. AND I WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S A CROSS SECTION THAT THAT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THOSE.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A CROSS SECTION OF DEVELOPERS MATERIAL. IT'S A PRETTY STANDARD, TYPICAL ALLEY THAT WE'D SEE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. MCDONALD LANE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT ALLEYS IN THE WINDSOR SUBDIVISION. I DIDN'T PULL IT OUT ON OUR STAFF MATERIALS HERE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT'S IN THE APPLICANT'S MATERIALS. MAYBE JUSTIN CAN TRY TO FIND WHICH PAGE THAT'S ON BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN WE KEEP WALKING. SORRY, JUSTIN 19. BRIAN'S ON IT. THANK YOU. CHRIS, CAN I ASK A QUESTION, FOR 605, THE STREET PARKING. I UNDERSTAND THAT'S A CITY PROJECT, BUT IF THEY'RE IF THERE WERE NO STREET PARKING SPACES, SUB AREA FOR THE PLAYGROUND, THERE WOULD BE NO PLACE TO PARK. CORRECT. SO PARKING. ACTUALLY, I SHOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH THAT. AND I CAN GO BACK TO THE PARKING REALLY QUICK. I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. SO PARKING, THE DEVELOPER WAS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A MASTER PARKING MODEL FOR THIS ENTIRE SUB AREA, AN INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS WAS SUBMITTED, GOSH, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE COMPANY'S NAME, WELLS AND ASSOCIATES OUT OF WASHINGTON, DC, WORKED AND PREPARED A PARKING MODEL, WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN THEIR SUBMITTAL THAT SHOWS THAT THE DEVELOPMENT PARKS ITSELF ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THIS PARKING LOT ON THE FAR WEST SIDE OF THE SITE IS GOING TO BE A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, AT LEAST THAT'S HOW IT'S ENVISIONED IN THIS, THIS FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. AND THIS PARKING LOT WOULD PROVIDE THE PARKING NECESSARY FOR THE ENTIRE PARK AND AN OPEN SPACE. I AGREE, WE AGREE WITH YOU THAT YOU KNOW THESE. THERE'S AN ADDED BENEFIT TO HAVING THESE ON STREET PARKING SPACES ON 605, SO THAT FOLKS CAN QUICKLY GET IN AND OUT OF THE PARKING AND OPEN SPACE.
THERE WILL BE PARKING AVAILABLE ON THIS STREET AS WELL. STREET C, SO THAT FOLKS CAN STILL, ACCESS THIS THIS AREA THERE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH ARCHITECTURE NOW, I'M GOING TO GIVE A VERY HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW, AS I'M SURE YOU SAW, THIS IS A VERY THICK BINDER. AND WE HAVE THE APPLICANT HERE TO WALK THROUGH, YOU KNOW, ALL THE DESIGN INSPIRATION AND JUSTIFICATION FOR ALL THE ARCHITECTURE THROUGHOUT THE ZONING DISTRICT. BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW FOR EACH SUB AREA. SO THIS IS SUB AREA ONE THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED. AGAIN THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL AREA AND THE MIXED USE AREA HERE. AND THE FLATS BUILDING. SO THIS IS A GOOD, SHEET HERE SHOWING YOU DIFFERENT, VIEWPOINTS OR VANTAGE POIN FOR THE COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT'S PLANNED IN SUB AREA ONE.
I DO, AND I'LL PROBABLY DO THIS AGAIN, BUT I DO WANT TO CREDIT THE APPLICANT, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THIS BOARD IS FAMILIAR WITH, BUT WE OFTEN HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS BACK AND FORTH FROM OUR CITY ARCHITECT, ON PROJECTS SUCH AS THESE. AND THE APPLICANT HAS MET WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT AT LEAST THREE TIMES, KIND OF LEADING UP TO THIS PROJECT OR THIS THIS HEARING DATE TODAY.
AND WE CAN REPORT THAT THEY HAVE ADDRESSED, MET AND ADDRESSED ALL OF THE CITY ARCHITECT'S COMMENTS FOR THE ENTIRE ZONING DISTRICT, NOT JUST THE SUB AREA, BUT FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE.
SO THESE ARE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. THIS IS THE HIGH END FLATS BUILDING THAT WILL FRONT ONTO, REALLY TWO FRONTS, ONE ONTO THE CENTER SPINE STREET AND ALSO ONTO THE SUGAR RUN PARK AREA. THIS IS A VERY, YOU KNOW, ALL THE BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT ACHIEVE A REALLY, REALLY STRONG, BUILDING DESIGN. AND THE SAME BUILDING MATERIALS ARE USED ON
[00:30:03]
ALL DIFFERENT ALL THE ELEVATIONS. WE WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT SPECIFICALLY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FRONT DOORS, THROUGHOUT THE ELEVATION OF THE BUILDINGS HERE. AND THAT'S CARRIED OUT. WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ELEVATION SHEETS HERE, BUT THAT WAS ADDED. THAT WAS A COMMENT FROM OUR CITY ARCHITECT THAT THEY INCORPORATED, REALLY, REALLY WELL IN SUBAREA TWO. AGAIN, THESE ARE MOSTLY TOWNHOMES, THE APPLICANT, I'LL LET THE APPLICANT TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF A SNEAK PEEK. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT BUILDERS SELECTED, FOR, ALL THE DIFFERENT SUB AREAS THAT WE HAVE SHOWN HERE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, THIS REALLY ISN'T, LIKE, A COOKIE CUTTER DEVELOPMENT AND THAT, THE UNIQUE TOUCHES FROM THE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTS CAN BE, ADDED HERE IN THE DEVELOPMENT. SO SUBAREA TWO, THESE ARE SOME OF THE, THE, THE VIEWPOINTS. THIS IS THE CENTRAL PLOT LOOKING IF YOU WERE DRIVING DOWN CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD, THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IF YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN 605, THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE HERE. I MIGHT BACK UP A LITTLE BIT TO SHOW YOU WHERE THESE ARE. SO THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF TOWNHOME. THIS IS LOCATED. OH, THERE'S A PLAN I FORGOT ABOUT. I SHOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW, THERE'S THE P PLAN THERE, SO THESE TOWNHOMES ARE, THE SOUTHERNMOST PORTION OF 605 FRONTING ON THE 605 THERE AGAIN, VERY, VERY HIGH END. THESE ARE, THE, YOU KNOW, CLOSELY, VERY, VERY CLOSELY RESEMBLE KESWICK, RICHMOND SQUARE STYLE OF TOWNHOMES AND SUBDIVISION THREE. AGAIN, WE HAVE A MIXTURE OF DUPLEXES AND SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. THESE ARE SOME DIFFERENT VIEWS. SO THIS IS IF YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN 605, THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE HERE, THE CITY ARCHITECT DID PROVIDE SOME COMMENTS BETWEEN WHEN THIS WAS ORIGINALLY, WORKSHOPPED WITH YOU GUYS LAST MONTH, THERE WERE SOME COMMENTS MADE BY THE BOARD AND SOME MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ACHIEVING A, YOU KNOW, A NEW ALBANY, FORMAL, TREATMENT OR A NEW ALBANY QUAINT TREATMENT ALONG THIS ROADWAY, TO ENSURE STRONG ARCHITECTURE IS ACHIEVED IN THIS AREA OF THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.AND THE APPLICANT, WORK WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT TO MAKE SOME MINOR REVISIONS TO THAT TO HELP ACHIEVE THAT DESIRE. SO, AGAIN, THIS IS 605. THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD SEE FROM CENTRAL COLLEGE, INSIDE THE DEVELOPMENT, THESE ARE SOME OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME MODELS. AND THEN THESE, THESE HOMES HERE WILL BE COMPLETELY INTERNAL TO THE DEVELOPMENT FACING EAST. SO SUBAREA FIVE, AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS REALLY, REALLY SIMILAR TO EVEN KIND OF LOOKS LIKE IT A LITTLE BIT, ELY CROSSING, ASHTON GROVE NEIGHBORHOODS. THESE WILL BE COMPLETELY CUSTOM HOMES, THE APPLICANT WAS NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT DETAILED ELEVATIONS FOR THESE AREAS, AS THEY WILL BE COMPLETELY CUSTOM HOMES, BUT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT, YOU KNOW, A NARRATIVE STATEMENT AND IMAGES THAT GENERALLY DESCRIBE WHAT THEIR INTENT IS FOR THE SUB AREA. THESE I BELIEVE ALL OF THESE IMAGES ARE FROM NEW ALBANY, MAYBE ONE IS NOT, BUT, THAT IS WHAT THE ARCHITECTURAL INTENT IS FOR THAT SUBAREA. FIVE SO LASTLY, I WILL TALK ABOUT WAIVERS. FIVE WAIVERS WERE REQUESTED AS PART OF THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION. AGAIN, THE ARB IS AN ADVISORY BOARD. SO AS PART IN ADDITION TO MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, YOU WOULD ALSO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ABOUT THE WAIVERS THAT WERE REQUESTED, I CAN WALK THROUGH THOSE HERE. THE DETAILS ARE ALL IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, BUT I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH WHERE THOSE ARE LOCATED ON THE SITE. SO WAIVER A CHECK MYSELF AS I'M SITTING HERE TALKING. YEP. SO WAIVER A WOULD BE TO ALLOW A FOUR FOOT PUBLIC SIDEWALK ON, IN LIMITED LOCATIONS, IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND THOSE ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS, THIS HATCH OR THIS DASHED LINE HERE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT'S PARTIALLY IN SUB AREA, CERTAIN PORTIONS OF SUBAREA FIVE HERE ALONG THESE INTERNAL STREETS AND THEN PORTION IN SUB AREA THREE AS WELL, THE APPLICANT'S INTENT IS TO REALLY DESIGN THESE AREAS TO RESEMBLE NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE ELY CROSSING. AND, ASHTON GROVE AND DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE NEW ALBANY COUNTRY CLUB, WHERE THERE'S, YOU KNOW, TIGHTER STREETSCAPE BECAUSE HOMES ARE LOCATED CLOSER TO THE CLOSER TO THE STREET. AND BASED ON ALL THE WAIVER CRITERIA THAT ARE EVALUATED IN THE STAFF REPORT, STAFF BELIEVES THAT, THEY ARE MET FOR THAT WAIVER REQUEST. CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THAT? SO IN THE CROSS SECTION FOR THE PUBLIC STREET E, IT DOESN'T SHOW A SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF, THERE'S NO SIDEWALKS SHOWN
[00:35:01]
THERE, BUT YET THE IT SHOWS ON THE WAIVER. THERE'S GOING TO BE A SIDEWALK. YEAH, THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN. THAT'S A GOOD CATCH. THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN OUR WE CREATED THESE GRAPHICS OKAY. BUT THERE WON'T BE A SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THOSE RESIDENTIAL HOMES. YES.REQUESTED TO BE FOUR FOOT. YES. THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. SORRY ABOUT THAT. GOOD CATCH. YOU'RE ON IT. GOOD. LET ME SCROLL BACK ALL THE WAY THROUGH HERE. SORRY. GIVING ME MOTION SICKNESS. I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION. WHAT IS THE SETBACK OF THE HOMES, I BELIEVE IT'S, WE CAN CHECK THE ZONING TEXT, BUT IT'S MAYBE FIVE. I CAN CUT THE SIDE YARD. THE SETBACK FROM THE STREET.
VERY, VERY MINIMAL, WE CAN CHECK REAL QUICK ON THE IN THE ZONING TEXT, BUT IT IS VERY, VERY, VERY SMALL. OUR INTERNET IS ALSO DOWN, SO WE MIGHT HAVE TROUBLE PULLING IT UP, BUT IT'S VERY, VERY MINIMAL. I BELIEVE IT'S FIVE FEET FROM THE RIGHT OF WAY. YEAH. VERY VERY SMALL. VERY SIMILAR TO THE CROSSING I BELIEVE ELY IS ZERO LOT LINE. ELY IS ZERO LOT LINE. YEAH. SO THIS WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE SPACIOUS THAN ELY IS 15 FOOT SETBACKS. NO ZERO. NO. FROM THE CURB. YEAH WELL THAT'S THE RIGHT OF WAY. YES. YEAH. SO THIS WOULD NET OUT VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME WITH THE REDUCTION. BUT YEAH, WITH THE FIVE FOOT SETBACK WOULD PROBABLY, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, WOULD COME OUT PRETTY CLOSE WOULDN'T IT. PRETTY CLOSE TO THE EXISTING ELY. YEAH OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YEP. NO PROBLEM, SO WAIVER. BE SURE TO MAKE SURE I'M FOLLOWING MY STAFF REPORT HERE. SO WAIVER B APPLIES TO THE TWO LOTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED HERE ON THE SCREEN IN SUBAREA THREE. SO THE ZONING TEXT STATES THAT ONLY TOWNHOMES ARE ALLOWED TO FRONT ONTO 605. AND THE APPLICANT REQUEST A WAIVER TO ALLOW TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO FRONT ON 605 AND THE LOCATIONS IDENTIFIED, ON THE MAP THERE, AGAIN, WE'VE PROVIDED A FULL ANALYSIS IN OUR IN OUR STAFF REPORT, BUT MAYBE JUST A HIGH LEVEL, QUICK SNAPSHOT FOR THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY. WE BELIEVE THAT THE, THE DESIGN IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS INSTANCE. CANDIDLY, WE'RE NOT REALLY SURE WHY THE REQUIREMENT WAS ADDED IN THERE FOR JUST, HAVING TOWNHOMES ON 605. WE, YOU KNOW, AS LONG AS A APPROPRIATE ARCHITECTURE IS ACHIEVED ALONG THAT ROADWAY, THAT'S WHAT WE BELIEVE IS MOST IMPORTANT. THE SITE IS ALSO CONSTRAINED. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS INTO THE SUB AREA, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE TO RESPOND TO RESPOND AND RESPECT THE GREEN SPACE AND SUBAREA FOUR AS WELL, SO ADDING A, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER ROW OF A DUPLEX OR TOWNHOMES WOULD, CAUSE AN EVEN GREATER IMPACT, ESPECIALLY ON THE SOUTHERN LOT HERE IN THE SUB AREA, SO THOSE ARE JUST WE PROVIDED MORE ANALYSIS WITH OUR STAFF REPORT, BUT THAT'S SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THERE. THE APPLICANT ALSO WANTS TO, REALLY HAVE THESE HOMES BE THE CENTER LIKE FOCAL PIECE OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THE ENTRANCE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AND IF YOU SCROLL THROUGH SOME OF THE PAGES, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS A REALLY STRONG, DESIGN FOR THOSE HOMES. OOPS, SORRY, LET'S SEE. SO WAIVER FOR SUB. YES. WAIVER. SEE. SO THIS IS RELATED TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF, SUB AREA TWO AS OUTLINED HERE ON THE SCREEN. SO THE ZONING TEXT STATES THAT THERE'S A MAXIMUM HEIGHT LIMITATION OF 40FT WITHIN THE SUB AREA. AND OUR CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE SUB AREA RATHER, AND THE STATE THAT THERE'S A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OR NUMBER OF STORIES, NUMBER OF THERE'S A MAXIMUM OF THREE STORIES ALLOWED, FOR HOMES OR TOWNHOMES IN IN THAT SUB AREA AS WELL. SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A WAIVER TO ALLOW THE HEIGHT OF THOSE TO BE 44FT AND HAVE AN ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION OF THREE AND A HALF STORIES, RATHER THAN THE THREE STORIES. AND AGAIN, HIGHLIGHT REALLY QUICK. SO PROBABLY THE MOST UNIQUE THING ABOUT THE SITE THAT'S KIND OF DRIVING THIS WAIVER REQUEST IS THAT THE SITE ACTUALLY GRADES DOWN, PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM CENTRAL COLLEGE AND 605 DOWN TOWARDS THE CREEK AREA. SO ALONG STATE ROUTE 605 OR 6, SORRY, CENTRAL COLLEGE AND 605 DUE TO THE GRADE CHANGE, THEY'RE ABLE TO BUILD A TOWNHOME THAT HAS THE THIRD OR BOTTOM STORY PARTIALLY BURIED, KIND OF LIKE WHAT'S DONE AT RICHMOND SQUARE TO WHERE ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE AND 605, IT'S JUST TWO AND A HALF, TWO, TWO AND A HALF STORIES. BUT AT THE BACK THERE'S THREE STORIES. SO TO KIND OF CARRY THAT SAME TOWNHOME MODEL THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE ENTIRE SUB AREA, THE GRADE IS ACTUALLY WORKING AGAINST THEM. SO ALL THREE LEVELS ARE EXPOSED DUE TO THE GRADE CHANGE, WE TOOK A REALLY CLOSE LOOK AT THIS WITH OUR CITY ARCHITECT, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE WAIVER IS APPROPRIATE, THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IS STRONG
[00:40:04]
IN SUB AREA TWO, ONE THING TO NOTE THAT'S KIND OF A LITTLE TRIPPY TO THINK ABOUT. MAYBE I'LL GO BACK TO A SLIDE HERE. I'M NOT THERE. HERE. SO IT'S KIND OF EASIER TO SEE IN THIS BOTTOM IMAGE, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY APPLY HERE ON THIS BOTTOM IMAGE. BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT HERE. SO DUE TO THE GRADE CHANGE YOU KNOW WE HAVE A TWO AND A HALF STORY, YOU KNOW, 40 FOOT TALL. TOWNHOME ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE AND 605 HERE. BUT DUE TO THE GRADE CHANGE, EVEN IF THE WAIVER IS APPROVED, THE BACK HOMES WILL NOT EXTEND ABOVE THIS FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRETCH OF TOWNHOMES BECAUSE THE SITE SLOPES DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. SO EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE TECHNICALLY TALLER AND HAVE THREE AND A HALF STORIES, YOU REALLY WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL A DIFFERENCE, ON CENTRAL COLLEGE AND 605 JUST DUE TO THAT GRADE CHANGE. ONE QUICK QUESTION HERE.SO DOES WHAT MAKES IT A HALF STORY IS THE IS THE ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION OF THE DORMERS? THAT'S CORRECT. YEP AND DOES THE DGRS DO THE DGRS SPEAK IN TERMS OF FULL STORIES OR HALF STORIES? IT DOES NOT SPEAK IN TERMS OF HALF STORIES OR FULL STORIES. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE INTERPRETATION OF STAFF THAT THAT IT. BUT IT TALKS ABOUT THE TWO STORIES OR THREE STORIES OR WHATEVER. YES. THAT'S RIGHT. YEP. AND THE STAFF'S INTERPRETATION HAS BEEN THAT IF THERE'S AN ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION OF TWO AND A HALF, THAT'S MORE THAN TWO, CORRECT? OKAY. DUE TO THOSE. YEAH. THE DORMERS WOULD WOULD TRIGGER THAT BACK STORY. BUT IN IN THEORY, YOU KNOW, IT IT IF YOU HAVE A HIPPED OR A GABLED ROOF, IT ISN'T ANY HIGHER. RIGHT. IT'S JUST IT'S JUST THE EXPRESSION. CORRECT. YEAH, YEAH. AND ORIGINALLY MAYBE JUST REAL QUICK, NOT TO GET TOO DETAILED, BUT, YOU KNOW, UNDER THE EXISTING ZONING RIGHTS AND I WON'T SEE ALL THE APPLICANTS THUNDER HERE. SORRY, BUT, YOU KNOW, THE APPLICANT COULD COME IN AND HAVE FLAT ROOF TOWNHOMES. DO THEM PHILADELPHIA STYLE, DO THEM REALLY, REALLY WELL, AND NO WAIVERS WOULD BE NEEDED, YOU KNOW, THE SAME THE SAME HEIGHT LEVEL, BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY ARCHITECT, WE REALLY THOUGHT THAT THE TRADITIONAL, YOU KNOW, PITCHED ROOF, RICHMOND SQUARE, KESWICK STYLE TOWNHOME WAS MOST APPROPRIATE IN THE SUB AREA. WHICH REALLY KIND OF DROVE THE DESIGN AND THE NEED FOR A WAIVER HERE. SO, WAIT, YOU'RE SO THE ONES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, ONES THAT ARE THREE AND A HALF CORRECT? YEP. BUT IF THEY MADE A FLAT ROOF THEN IT WOULD BE FOUR IN THAT CASE. RIGHT NO. BECAUSE THEY COULD DO THREE AND THEN THE ROOF WOULD BE FLAT. SO THE HEIGHT AT LEAST WOULD GO AWAY THE RIGHT. OKAY. AND THEN BUT BUT WE OKAY. SO AGAIN IT'S THE EXPRESSION HERE. CORRECT. YEP. THAT THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. NOT IN FACT THAT THESE ARE OCCUPIED. CORRECT. YEP. THAT'S RIGHT OKAY. SO LET'S SEE.
SO WAIVER REQUEST D SO THIS IS ONE THE APPLICANT ACTUALLY FOUND THAT STAFF DIDN'T CATCH IN OUR JAEGERS. SO IN OUR JAEGERS EACH HOME IS REQUIRED TO HAVE AT LEAST A TWO FOOT HIGH ENTRY INTO HOMES LIKE, STEPS UP INTO HOUSES TWO FEET OFF OF, OFF OF GRADE, AND THEY'RE REQUESTING A WAIVER TO ELIMINATE THAT REQUIREMENT FOR THE SUB AREAS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LOOKING AROUND THE COMMUNITY, AND THEN EVEN OUR NEIGHBORS THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF WHERE, THAT TWO FOOT HEIGHT REQUIREMENT HAS NOT BEEN MET. THE APARTMENT BUILDING, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, RISERS INTO SOME OF THOSE UNITS. BUT THE MAIN ENTRANCE THAT'S ALONG THE ROUNDABOUT IS COMPLETELY AT GRADE. AND WE GRANTED A WAIVER FOR THAT, I BELIEVE SO, AT LEAST APPROVED AS PART OF, I WASN'T HERE THEN, SO YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT, BUT I WOULD ASSUME SO. YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO ASSUME. YEAH, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NUMEROUS OTHER EXAMPLES PROBABLY MOST NOTABLY, WHERE DEVIATIONS FROM THIS HAVE BEEN APPROVED ARE IN OUR 55 AND OLDER COMMUNITIES, NOTTINGHAM, TRACE AND EPCON, YOU KNOW, THE APPLICANT AGAIN I WON'T STEAL THE THUNDER, BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT THESE TOWNHOMES AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, ALL RESIDENTIAL PRODUCTS IN THIS, IN THIS ZONING DISTRICT WILL BE MARKETABLE TO, THE AGING COMMUNITY WHERE ADA ACCESSIBILITY IS, A PRIORITY, DRIVING DESIGN FACTOR FOR THEM. SO, GRANTING THE WAIVER FOR THAT REASON APPEARS TO BE APPROPRIATE IN THIS CASE. THEY DO COMMIT TO PROVIDING AT LEAST TWO RISERS
[00:45:04]
INTO EACH HOME. SO THERE WILL STILL BE STEPS AT THE FRONT DOOR, BUT IT JUST WON'T HAVE THAT FULL TWO FOOT, HEIGHT. IN THE CASE OF THE SENIOR, EXCEPTIONS, AS I RECALL, WE HAD IN THAT CASE DETAILED PLANS TELLING US HOW BIG THEY WERE, HOW MANY BEDROOMS THEY WERE.YEAH. AND SO FORTH IN TERMS OF, OF ATTRACTIVENESS. AND IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE ZONING CODE FOR THOSE THAT SAID IT WAS 55 OR OLDER, OR IS IT SIMPLY IT WAS THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN THE APPLICANT. YEAH. IN BOTH OF THOSE THERE IS A CLAUSE ABOUT BEING AN AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITY TO VARYING DEGREES, DEPENDING ON WHICH SUBDIVISION YOU'RE IN. AND THAT IS NOT PRESENT HERE. THAT IS CORRECT. YEAH. IS THIS REQUEST FOR THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES TO OR IS IT APPLIED JUST TO TOWNHOMES, I WILL LET THE APPLICANT ANSWER THAT WHEN THEY GET UP AND DO THEIR PRESENTATION. I BELIEVE I THINK IT READS ON THE ENTIRE YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING.
BUT YEAH, BECAUSE I'M. KEEP CHUGGING ALONG HERE. THAT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY. SO WAIVER. SO WE DID D SO, WAIVER E ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS FOUND BY THE APPLICANT. SO THERE'S A DEVELOPMENT STANDARD AND THE TEXT THAT STATES THAT NO USER WITHIN SUBAREA ONE. SO THE COMMERCIAL AREA HERE, NO SINGLE TENANT CAN HAVE A GROSS FLOOR SQUARE FOOTAGE OF MORE THAN 10,000FT■!S IN SIZE, THEY'RE REQUESTING A WAIVER TO THAT REQUIREMENT FOR ALL NON RETAIL TENANTS. SO OFFICE USES WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THAT OR WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM THAT REQUIREMENT. BUT INDIVIDUAL RESTAURANTS AND COFFEE SHOPS WOULD STILL BE SUBJECT TO THAT MAXIMUM. SQUARE FOOTAGE. AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY LOOKING AT IT, YOU KNOW, WITH YOU GUYS, AND WE DID NOTE THIS IN OUR STAFF REPORT THAT WAS REALLY THE INTENT OF THAT REQUIREMENT IS REALLY TO APPLY TO KIND OF PREVENT, YOU KNOW, MEDIUM TO BIG BOX STYLE RETAILERS THAT ARE COMING IN AND, YOU KNOW, EATING UP ALL THE SPACE THIS IS, YOU KNOW, SUBAREA ONE, THIS IS REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE A MIXED USE WITH, DIFFERENT RETAIL OFFERINGS, FOR THE COMMUNITY. THAT'S REALLY WHAT WAS ENVISIONED IN THE HAMLET. SO WE PUT THIS RESTRICTION IN THERE, NOT REALLY THINKING THAT IT WOULD NECESSARILY APPLY TO OFFICE, BUT AS THE CODE IS WRITTEN, IT DOES APPLY TO OFFICE. WE ALSO DID DO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESEARCH IN THE REGION, FOR THIS WAIVER REQUEST TO REACH OUT TO ONE COLUMBUS, WHICH IS THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARM THAT WORKS WITH THE STATE OF OHIO TO HELP ATTRACT COMPANIES, INTO OUR REGION, AND JUST KIND OF ASK THEM ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THEIR THOUGHTS ON THIS REQUIREMENT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, THE OFFICE MARKET IS REALLY VOLATILE. I GUESS STILL, AT LEAST IN THE VOLATILE FOR THE TRADITIONAL, YOU KNOW, SUBURBAN OFFICE MARKET, THAT'S NOT REALLY A DESIRABLE, FOR THE USERS THAT THEY'RE INTERACTING WITH. THERE'S STILL A VERY LOW DESIRE, REGIONALLY FOR NEW OFFICE SPACE.
BUT WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS THAT WHEN THERE IS A DESIRE FOR OFFICE SPACE, IT IS USUALLY FOR BRAND NEW OFFICE SPACE. IT'S USUALLY IN A MORE OF A MIXED USE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN PROVIDE A LIVE WORK, PLAY EXPERIENCE FOR, FOR THEIR RESIDENTS. SO THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, BRIDGE PARK, THE SHORT NORTH, YOU KNOW, THE EAST FRANKLINTON, THOSE TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS ARE REALLY WHERE THEY'RE SEEING A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR NEW COMMERCIAL OFFICE SPACE.
AND, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN SO LITTLE, SO LITTLE OF THEM, THEY HAVEN'T THEY WEREN'T REALLY ABLE TO PROVIDE AN IDEAL SQUARE FOOTAGE NUMBER, BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THIS LIMITATION, AT LEAST IN THE RESPECT FOR OFFICE, IS REALLY JUST KIND OF LIMIT THE CITY'S ABILITY TO MEET, MAY BE COMPETITIVE AND THAT VERY LIMITED OFFICE MARKET, WHICH PLAYS A HUGE FACTOR INTO THE CITY'S TAX BASE. SO WE DID DO SOME RESEARCH ON THAT. AGAIN, THERE'S A FULL EVALUATION OF THAT IN OUR STAFF REPORT, BUT, THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS THERE. AND WITH THAT I THINK THAT'S. YEP, YEP. GO AHEAD. I WANTED TO CLARIFY ON THAT. I THOUGHT MY NOTES FROM LAST TIME SAID THAT THAT WAS A COMMITMENT THAT THEY ONLY WANTED THE WAIVER. DID I GET THIS WRONG THAT THEY ONLY WANTED THE WAIVE, THEY THEY DID NOT WANT THE WAIVER FOR THE COMMERCIAL ON THE GROUND FLOOR. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S STILL THE CASE. THAT'S CORRECT. SO THERE'S A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT THE APPLICANT HAS ALREADY AGREED TO, THAT 80% OF ALL THE GROUND FLOOR USES HAVE TO BE. GOSH, I'M GOING TO BOTCH THIS, BUT, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE GENERAL SALE OF GOODS AND SERVICES. SO RESTAURANTS, COFFEE SHOPS AND THAT THIS WAIVER WOULD NOT APPLY TO THE GROUND FLOOR. IT WOULD REQUIRE THAT AT LEAST 80% OF THOSE USES ON THE GROUND FLOOR BE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, THAT MAKES SENSE. THANKS. YEAH YEAH. AND THAT WAS IN RESPONSE TO, FEEDBACK THAT WE HEARD, THROUGHOUT OUR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS. AND COUNCIL MEMBER BRISK AS WELL AND STILL LIMITED TO THE 10,000. YES
[00:50:02]
NON-RETAIL TENANTS WOULD BE OUR ONLY NON RETAIL TENANTS WOULD STILL BE SUBJECT TO THAT 10,000FT■!S. THANK YOU. YEAH AGN I THINK THAT'S I THINK THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE TO ADD. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WE HAVE JUSTIN AND HIS ENTIRE TEAM HERE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION AS WELL. BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. I HAVE NONE AT THIS TIME. NONE AT THIS TIME BEYOND WHAT I'VE ASKED. I GIVE US JUST A MINUTE. OH, GO AHEAD. SORRY. YOU'RE GOOD. SO, WAIVER. TWO. I'M STRUGGLING WITH THAT ONE A LITTLE BIT WITH THE TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON 605, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS ZONED FOR TOWNHOMES, BUT I THINK THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT. I THINK IT'S THE LOOK AS IT FRAMES THAT CORNER AND I, I'M STRUGGLING WITH JUST TWO, YOU KNOW, SHORTER THAN TOWNHOMES, TWO HOMES AT THE ENTRANCE OF THAT PARK. AND THAT ONE HOME IS THE ONLY HOME IN THE PARK THAT I'M LIKE, I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE BETTER. I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T FIT. YOU'RE CONTINUING THE STREET. YOU CAN'T FIT ANOTHER TOWNHOME. BUT WHY DON'T WE JUST LEAVE THAT AS GREEN SPACE TREES OR, YOU KNOW, SOME SORT OF MORE GRAND ENTRANCE OR SOMETHING? I PUT A BIG CIRCLE ON THAT ONE AS WELL, AND I THINK IT WAS OUR INTENT TO HAVE THE APPLICANT, IF THEY WANT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION, OKAY. AND THEN TO GO THROUGH FIRST THE OKAY, I THINK THE ARCHITECTURE AND THEN THE WAIVER IS I THINK WHAT MR. HINSON AND I DISCUSSED SO OKAY, THAT THOSE ARE ALL WONDERFUL COMMENTS. YEAH. GIVE US JUST A SECOND TO GET SWITCHED OVER TO THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION MATERIALS. STEVE, WOULD YOU MIN. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. WE'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT UP. THANK YOU. NO. YOU'RE FINE. NO, PLEASE COME UP. JUST INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. THANK YOU. SO, MY NAME IS JUSTIN LYDA WITH STEINMAN ASSOCIATES. I'VE BEEN KIND OF MEETING WITH ALL THE GROUPS AND THE BOARDS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS ON THIS ONE.SO I'M, I'M GOING TO KEEP MY PORTION KIND OF SIMPLE, SO I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE A FEW MINUTES. I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A SENSE OF WHERE WE'RE HEADED WITH THIS. I'LL JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT AGAIN, OF THE SITE WHERE WE'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING, BRIAN FROM TORTI GALLAS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, HE'LL SPEND MAYBE TEN, 15 MINUTES GOING BACK SOME OF YOU HEARD HIS PRESENTATION ON SORT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL THESIS OF THE HAMLET AND HOW WE GOT WHERE WE ARE. WE'LL GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT, BUT THEN GIVE A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT FOR THE PLAN SPECIFICS. AND THE PUBLIC SPACES AND THE AND THE FRAMING OF THE ARCHITECTURE, AND THEN AARON WILL JUST GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF MORE CONTEXT ON, ON THOSE WAIVERS. SO, JUST TO AGAIN, TO, TO START AND REMIND FOLKS OF THE, OF THE SITE, THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGING SITE FROM A PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE PERSPECTIVE, TO OUR WEST, AS YOU ARE ALL AWARE, THIS IS THE JURISDICTIONAL LINE BETWEEN NEW ALBANY AND THE CITY OF COLUMBUS. SO OUR DIRECT WESTERN NEIGHBOR IS ACTUALLY TACO BELL. SO WE HAVE THAT ON ON ONE SIDE, WE HAVE THE DISCOVER CAMPUS TO OUR NORTH, WE HAVE THE LOADING DOCK OF CVG TO OUR SOUTH, AND THEN WE HAVE RESIDENTIAL, ONE SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND THEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE ENCLAVE TO OUR EAST. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING PRETTY DILIGENTLY OVER THESE MONTHS AND YEARS TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE THIS PLAN WORK WITH ALL THOSE UNIQUE EDGE CONDITIONS AND STILL MAKE IT ALL LOOK LIKE IT MAKES SENSE AND WORKS, SO THIS IS THE PLAN. IT'S ABOUT TWO PLUS YEARS IN THE MAKING, WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH THE CITY EVERY OTHER WEEK, AND THEN ON THE OFF WEEKS, OUR TEAM DESIGN TEAM GETS TOGETHER AND WE KIND OF WORK THROUGH THE PIECES. SO I'LL GIVE YOU A SENSE OF THE DESIGN TEAM. EMH AND T HAS BEEN OUR CIVIL DESIGNER ON THIS. THEY ALSO HAVE BEEN BRINGING THEIR ENTIRE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE TEAM, FRANCO AND VAL AND, BRIAN AND HIS TEAM ARE WORKING ON THAT. THE STRATEGIC VISION FOR THE LANDSCAPE HAS BEEN KEITH MYERS, SO WE BROUGHT HIM ON BOARD. HE'S BEEN KIND OF WORKING WITH US KIND OF STEP BY STEP, AND ALL OF THOSE BIWEEKLY MEETINGS TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING IT RIGHT. AND THEN TORTI GALLAS AND PARTNERS, WE BROUGHT THEM IN FROM WASHINGTON DC TO ALSO BE PART OF THE MASTER PLANNING TEAM, AND ALSO SPECIFICALLY TO HELP WITH THE ARCHITECTURE, BRIAN AND I HAVE ACTUALLY WORKED TOGETHER FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS NOW, STARTING IN VIRGINIA, THEN ALL THE WAY HERE. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT
[00:55:02]
BRIAN IS THIS BOOK DOWN HERE ACTUALLY WROTE THE TEXTBOOK ON INCREMENTAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND WALKABLE COMMUNITIES, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERE. BUT ALONG WITH MASTER PLANNING, WHAT HE DOES, HE REALLY GETS INTO THE DETAILS. SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE COMMENTS HE'S BEEN SHARING WITH OUR PARTNERS ABOUT THE ANGLES OF JACK ARCHES. I WAS JOKING LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, I THINK THAT WAS 3 OR 4 WEEKS AGO. HE TURNED TO ME AND SAID, YOU KNOW, I THINK THEY CHANGED THE SHADE OF THE PAINT IN HERE WITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS. AND I ACTUALLY WENT BACK AND CHECKED AND I THINK YOU SAID HE WAS RIGHT. THEY DID ACTUALLY CHANGE THE PAINT. AND I'VE BEEN HERE MORE AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT. SO THAT'S WHY WE LOVE BRIAN.SOMETIMES OUR PARTNERS DON'T LOVE HIM AS MUCH BECAUSE HE'S A, CAN BE A, YOU KNOW, HE'S SORT OF OUR BULLDOG ON ON SOME OF THESE ITEMS. I THINK WHAT WE'VE BEEN STRIVING FOR IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AND I THINK WE MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY, THERE WAS A DESIRE FOR THIS NOT TO BE COOKIE CUTTER. AND SO ONE OF OUR MAIN MOVES WAS WE DON'T WANT ONE BUILDER OR ONE ARCHITECT TO COME IN HERE AND DO THE ENTIRE PROJECT. WE WANT SORT OF THE MASTER PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO BE OVERSEEING IT ALL, BUT WE WANT TO HAVE A VARIETY OF DESIGNERS, A VARIETY OF BUILDERS THAT WE CAN WORK WITH TO BRING SORT OF THAT ORGANIC GROWTH AND SORT OF EVOLUTION OF THE SITE. AND THAT'S HARD TO DO WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IT IN ALL ONE, ONE SCOOP. SO ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DID DO IS BRIAN AND HIS TEAM WROTE US A PRIVATE SET OF GUIDELINES, OUR PATTERN BOOK. AND SO EACH TIME WE WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AND OUR BUILDERS AND THEIR ARCHITECTS, WE GIVE THEM OUR SORT OF PRIVATE SET OF GUIDELINES, GIVE THEM OUR EXPECTATIONS OF WHAT THEY NEED TO ACHIEVE. AND WE'VE BEEN KIND OF DOING THAT FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR SO WITH ALL OF THEM, TO GET KIND OF WHERE WE ARE. I'D SAY THE PAST SIX WEEKS WHERE OUR EFFORT HAS BEEN IS, TAKING ALL OF THOSE. WE'RE REALLY CLOSE WITH EVERYTHING. AND THEN DOING SORT OF THE FINAL WEAVING OF THAT STORY TOGETHER, MAKING SURE ALL THE DETAILS ARE RIGHT. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE BRICK THAT'S OVER HERE. A LOT OF SCRUTINY ON OKAY, DO THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER? BUT THEY'RE DISTINCT ENOUGH THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK TOO MATCHY MATCHY. AND IT IT ALL FLOWS WELL TOGETHER, AS CHRIS MENTIONED, WE'VE MET WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT THREE TIMES, EACH TIME KIND OF TAKING THAT FEEDBACK, MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, GOING BACK. THAT'S REALLY BEEN OVER THE PAST SIX WEEKS. MXQ I THINK WE'VE MET WITH THEM DOZENS OF TIMES TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING ALL OF THEIR COMMENTS. WE'VE COME HERE TO PARKS AND TRAILS AND PLANNING COMMISSION. WE PRESENTED ALL OF OUR DRAFT WAIVERS. WE PRESENTED THE PLANS AND SOME DRAFT ELEVATIONS SEEKING FEEDBACK. YOU'LL EVEN I KNOW SOME OF THOSE WAIVERS HAVE CHANGED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, AS WE'VE BEEN RESPONDING TO COMMENTS WE'VE HEARD IN THE PUBLIC FORUMS, AND WE'VE HEARD FROM PEOPLE COMING BACK AND SAYING, HEY, YOU MAY WANT TO MAKE SOME OF THOSE ADJUSTMENTS.
I THINK EVEN TRICIA, YOU MENTIONED THE CONCERN ABOUT WE USE THE TERM HUMBLE ARCHITECTUR.
SO THAT WAS ONE THING FROM OUR LAST SESSION. WE SAID, OKAY, WHAT DO WE GO BACK AND TALK TO DAVE? WE'LL TALK TO BRIAN. WHAT ARE THE LITTLE ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE FORMAL, WHICH WAS ADJUSTING SOME COLORS. SUBAREA THREE WE REALLY TWEAKED SOME OF THE DETAILING SO IT WASN'T AS I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS JUST A IT'S A CLEANER, MORE FORMAL AND KIND OF BUTTONED UP FEEL THAT WE FELT WE ACHIEVED. TO GIVE A LITTLE UPDATE BEFORE WE JUMP INTO ARCHITECTURE, I DO WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT ON, ON THE PARKLAND LAYOUT. SO AS CHRIS MENTIONED, WE HAVE A SERIES OF DIFFERENT PLAYGROUNDS. WE HAVE SOME IN THIS AREA AND WE HAVE SOME IN THIS AREA, WE'RE ACTUALLY SOME FOLKS MAY HAVE HEARD WE'RE WORKING WITH HALEY DEETER FROM HER ART GALLERY. SO IF THINGS GO WELL IN THE NEXT WEEK, WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE RFP READY TO GO OUT. AND SO SHE'LL BE HOSTING AN RFP PROCESS SO YOU CAN SEE IT SHOWS UP BETTER. ON THE OTHER PLAN, WE HAVE SCULPTURAL ELEMENTS KIND OF ROUTING THROUGHOUT THIS NATURAL CORRIDOR. AND THEN WE HAVE THESE KIND OF BIRD BOXES, AREAS THAT ARE ALSO GOING TO BE DESIGNED BY ARTISTS. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ENTIRE ART PROGRAM THAT ALSO KIND OF REINFORCES A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THAT, IN THAT PUBLIC AREA. SO WITH THAT, I WILL NOW HAND IT OFF TO BRIAN, WHO WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT ON THE ARCHITECTUR. HI, EVERYONE. HELLO I HAVE THE HONOR OF REPRESENTING FIVE SEPARATE TEAMS OF ARCHITECTS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THIS PROJECT, I'M
[01:00:05]
BRIAN WINNING WITH 20 AWESOME PARTNERS. I AM THE HAMLET ARCHITECT HERE AT SUGAR RUN, WHICH MEANS THAT I COORDINATE THEIR WORK IN A WAY AND TRY TO GET THEM TO COME TOGETHER IN WAYS THAT MAKE A SOLID NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT ALSO ALLOW THEM TO EXPRESS THEIR INDIVIDUALITY, TO MAKE IT FEEL AUTHENTIC AND REAL AND APPROPRIATE FOR NEW ALBANY, SO, SOME OF THIS PRESENTATION, THOSE THAT WERE HERE LAST MONTH SAW. BUT WE'RE GOING TO REPEAT A PORTION OF THESE PORTIONS JUST FOR THOSE WHO WEREN'T HERE. THESE, THE HEADINGS OF ALL THESE SLIDES ARE THE STANDARD FOR HAMLET IN THE, IN YOUR, STRATEGIC PLAN. SO WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO IS CREATE A COMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS EVERYTHING A GREAT MIX OF USES WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. NATURE PARKS, RETAIL, RESTAURANTS AND HOUSING THAT APPEALS TO MULTIPLE GENERATIONS. WHAT THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE IS FOR THOSE FOLKS WHO LOVE NEW ALBANY AND WANT TO STAY IN THE TOWN, BUT ARE KIND OF SICK OF SHOVELING SNOW AND MOWING THEIR LAWN EVERY YEAR, THEY CAN THEY'LL HAVE A HOUSING CHOICE HERE IN THIS PROJECT THAT THEY CAN COME TO AND REMAIN A PART OF NEW ALBANY, SO HERE'S THE PLAN THAT SHOWS YOU THAT. WELL, AND PART OF THAT MIX OF USES IS RETAIL AND PART OF THE GREAT JOY OF WORKING ON THIS PROJECT IS WE HAVE WE'RE WORKING WITH THE EXPERTS OF RETAIL, THE MASTERS OF EASTERN, SO THIS PART OF THE PATTERN BOOK AND THIS IS THE PATTERN BOOK IN FRONT OF YOU ON THE, ON THE PAGE IS BASED ON WHAT WE LEARNED WORKING WITH THEM OVER 20 YEARS. AND SO WE SET UP THE STANDARD. SO THAT THEY WILL PRIVATELY REGULATE THE DISPLAY ZONE INSIDE THE WINDOW. THE FACADE AND THE FRONTAGE. APPROPRIATELY. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WORK THEY PUT INTO EASTON, YOU SHOULD GO TAKE. THERE'S A LOT OF CURATION THAT HAPPENS THERE. AND THAT SAME LEVEL OF CURATION IS THE INTENT FOR THIS PROJECT AS WELL. SO THAT'S HERE, AND THIS IS THE PLACE THAT THAT RESULT, THE HAMLET WILL ALLOW FOR A WALKABLE PART ONCE ENVIRONMENT WITH A LOT OF AMENITY AND COMFORTABLE WALKING DISTANCE. AS RESIDENTS AND NEIGHBORS WHO DO NOT NEED TO MOVE THEIR CARS TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE, TO GO TO ONE OF THE PARKS IN THE NEARBY COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS, ONE CAN WALK FROM THE HOMES TO THE PARK OR RESTAURANT OR THE CENTRAL SPACE. GIVE YOU ANOTHER VIEW 3D OF THE PROJECT. THE HAMLET INCLUDES A NETWORK OF MEMORABLE, MEMORABLE DESTINATIONS, INCLUDING WALKABLE ACCESS TO CAFES, THE PARKS WITH SLOW STREETS, SIDEWALKS, BICYCLE, BICYCLE, BIKE CONNECTIONS, PEDESTRIAN BIKE CONNECTIONS, ALLEYS, LEISURE TRAILS, AND COMMUNITY PATHS. THE HAMLET IS DESIGNED WITH INTIMATE ARCHITECTURE, AND THIS IS THE IMAGE HERE THAT WE'VE HAD TO WORK A LOT WITH YOUR, CITY ARCHITECT. AND WE REVISED THIS TO MAKE. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THE PRECEDENT IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN[01:07:56]
H NEIGHBOR, EACH BUILDER HAS A HAS A PLACE THAT THEY SURROUND THAT THEN BECOMES THEIR PART OF THE OF THE OVERALL NETWORK OF NODES. SO, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THESE ARE ALL THE PATHS THAT WE'VE PROVIDED THE CONNECTIVITY FROM THE CENTRAL, COMMERCIAL SPACE TO THE NORTHWEST, DEVELOPERS SPACE TO THE NORTHEAST, DEVELOPER SPACE TO THE SUBAREA THREE, DEVELOPER SPACE TO THE SOUTH, DEVELOPER SPACE. ALL OF THESE ARE CONNECTED ON A NETWORK. THIS WILL BE AN AMAZING PLACE WHERE YOU CAN WALK YOUR DOG. IF YOU LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY. MR. YOU DIDN'T LAST TIME WE WERE HERE MENTIONED, MERCHANTS SQUARE WILLIAMSBURG AS A POSSIBLE PRECEDENT FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. AND WE HAD ALREADY HAD THIS SLIDE IN THE PRESENTATION.SO, WE AGREE AND FEEL THAT THAT CHARACTER AND QUALITIES. HERE'S ANOTHER IMAGE, ARE APPROPRIATE.
SIMILARLY, IN THE, IN YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN, YOU MENTIONED IRON AS A PRECEDENT, AND I KNOW THE PROJECT PRETTY WELL. I ACTUALLY TOOK THAT PHOTO ON THE LOWER RIGHT, AND AGAIN, LOOKING AT ALL THESE PROJECTS AND HOW TO MAKE A HAMLET RETAIL DESTINATION, WE BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER TO FIND THE, THE, THE RIGHT NOTES FOR WHAT WE WOULD DO HERE IN NEW ALBANY, SO WE DECONSTRUCTED THE RETAIL BUILDINGS IN WAYS THAT MADE THEM APPROPRIATE, RELOCATED THE IDENTITIES IN, IN PLACES THAT WOULD LIKELY BE ANCHORED SO THAT EACH RETAIL TENANT WOULD HAVE THEIR OWN ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY AND THEREFORE EMBRACE THE FORM AND EMBRACE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND MAKE IT MORE AUTHENTIC AND REAL. AND WE USED A VARIETY OF FORMS THAT, COME FROM THE DIFFERENT
[01:10:10]
STYLES THAT WE HAD SEEN BOTH WITHIN THE JEFFERSONIAN CORE HERE, BUT ALSO SUBTLE HINTS OF WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE IN THE HISTORIC VILLAGE CENTER. SO HERE'S AN EXAMPLE AT A LARGER SCALE OF ONE OF THE BUILDING IDENTITIES AND HOW IT'S FORMED. THIS IS THE NORTHWEST PARKLET THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. AND THESE ARE THE BUILDING IDENTITIES, AND I UNFORTUNATELY, ON THE SCREEN, WE CAN'T SEE THE ACTUAL BRICKWORK. IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR PACKET, YOU CAN START TO SEE THE CARE THAT'S GONE INTO THE STRING COURSES AND THE BRICKWORK, THE JACK ARCHES AND ALL THAT AND THAT LEVEL OF EFFORT, WHERE THERE SHOULD BE WINDOWS AND THERE AREN'T. THEY'VE ACTUALLY FRAMED OUT, FAUX WINDOW OPENINGS IN THE WALLS TO ENSURE, THE PERCEPTION OF APPROPRIATE, ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER, THIS IS THE NORTHEAST, SUBAREA TWO. NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THESE ARE THE BUILDINGS LEFT AND RIGHT THAT ARE IN THE PACKET. PUT IT IN A 3D MODEL, THESE THESE ARE ELEVATIONS THAT YOU CAN SEE, I THINK THE COLORS OF THE DOORS WOULD CHANGE, JUST, YOU KNOW, SO WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT FIXING THOSE AT THIS TIME. THESE ARE THE ALLEY SIDES OF THE TOWNHOMES, DO YOU NEED ANY MORE? SHOULD I GO FURTHER INTO THE ARCHITECTURE OR WITH ALL. THERE'S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT HERE. I DON'T ENVY THE PROCESS, BUT I'M HAPPY TO GO FURTHER. DEEPER OR OR JUST ONE ITEM. SPECIFICALLY ON THIS ONE WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT THE, THE THREE AND A HALF STORY EXPRESSION, THIS IS ONE WHERE ORIGINALLY WE ACTUALLY HAD A MORE TRADITIONAL DORMER WINDOW, AND THE FEEDBACK FROM THE CITY ARCHITECT WAS, LET'S TONE THAT DOWN. LET'S MAKE THAT MORE OF A DECORATIVE VENT AND NOT A FULL WINDOW. SO THIS IS NOT INTENDED TO HAVE A, YOU KNOW, A TRADITIONAL WINDOW UP THERE. IT'S MORE OF A DECORATIVE ELEMENT. AND FROM STAFF STANDPOINT, THAT'S STILL A HALF STORY. THAT'S GREAT. AND DOES THAT STILL MEET A THREE AND A HALF. THEN AT THAT POINT, YES. OKAY BUT WE THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR THE CHARACTER AND THE RHYTHM. I THINK WE THINK IT'S BETTER THAN THAN IF YOU JUST HAD A BLANK ROOF UP THERE.SO PART OF THE REASON FOR REQUESTING THAT VERY WAIVER. SO THIS IS THE FLATS BUILDING ALONG THE, MAIN ROADWAY MOVING INTO THE SITE, WHICH WE STILL DON'T HAVE A NAME FOR, RIGHT. OKAY, OOPS. AND AGAIN, YOU COULD SEE IN ELEVATION THE DIFFERENT THE MARCHING OF THE IDENTITIES THAT WORK REALLY WELL ON THE LONG VIEW, THE SIDE ELEVATION HERE. SHOWING HOW THE BUILDING IS FORMED AND PARKS BELOW. IF YOU'RE WONDERING HOW IT WORKS. ALL RIGHT. THERE. YES SO ON THIS BUILDING, THERE WAS A LOT OF CARE. AND THE PEOPLE WE MENTIONED THIS, LAST MONTH, THIS IS A SITE WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A 54 INCH PINE OAK TREE THAT IS LOCATED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT COURTYARD, SO THE ARCHITECTURE OF THAT BUILDING AND THE SPACING, THE DESIGN, ALL OF IT WAS TO. OKAY, WHAT WHERE IS THAT TREE, BRIAN'S TEAM ACTUALLY HIRED AN ARBORIST TO GO OUT AND IDENTIFY WHERE THE ROOT, WHATEVER. THAT'S THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE IS, AND SO THAT WAS THEN PLOTTED ONTO THE PLAN, AND THEN THE BUILDING WAS MODIFIED AROUND THAT CRITICAL ROOT ZONE TO PROTECT THAT TREE. AND THEN ALSO JUST TO THE WEST OF THAT, THERE'S ANOTHER 54 INCH PINE OAK. AND THAT SAME MODIFICATION WAS MADE ON DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE PLAN WITH SOME OF THE PARKING, SOME OF THE ARCHITECTURE TO SORT OF WEAVE ITS WAY THROUGH THOSE NATURE ELEMENTS, BECAUSE WHEN THEY TESTED IT, THEY WERE HEALTHY. THEY'RE GOOD. SO THEY HAD MANY YEARS LEFT. AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD MANY MORE YEARS TO BE KIND OF AN ELEMENT ON THE SITE. AND I SHOULD JUST ADD THAT EACH OF THE SPACES HAVE A DIFFERENT
[01:15:01]
CHARACTER. THIS ONE IS MORE INFORMAL AND HAS SOME, RANDOMLY I WOULD SAY PLACED TREES AT THE NORTH END WITH A SUNNY PART AT THE SOUTH END OF THE OF THE PLAZA, THIS SPACE HAS A CIRCULAR BOSQUE, CIRCULAR RUN OF TREES ON BOTH OF SPECIMEN TREES COMING AROUND EACH SIDE, AS A AS A SPACE. THIS SPACE HAS A BASKETRY. LOOK HERE. AND AN OPEN LAWN ON IT. AND TO THE SOUTH SO THAT EACH. AND THEN THIS IS THE CENTRAL PLAZA FOR THE FOR THE RESTAURANTS AND CAFES TO SPILL OUT INTO THE, INTO THE WOODLAND. SO EACH OF THE PLACES HAVE THEIR OWN CHARACTER AND THEIR OWN UNIQUE QUALITIES, THAT WERE INCORPORATING INTO THEIR PLACEMAKING, SO THE ELEVATIONS OF THE MULTI-FAMILY BUILDING OF THE FLATS BUILDING, THE. THE TOWNHOUSES ALONG 605. AND THEN FINALLY AGAIN, THE HOUSES IN SUBAREA THREE WITH THAT. BRACKETING OF THE MAIN ROADWAY COMING IN TO CREATE A FOR A CORNER WHERE THE FOUR CORNERS ARE, ARE, ARE HELD, TO DEFINE THE HAMLET. AND YOU CAN SEE THE, THE BRACKETING OF THE ROADWAY COMING INTO THAT DISTRICT, SUBAREA FIVE. IS ALSO JUST GOING BACK, ACTUALLY TO THIS, I THINK, I THINK THIS WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE, THE KEITH MYERS AS WE WORKED WITH HIM HAVING THESE TWO AS THAT FOCAL ELEMENT. BUT THEN, AS BRIAN MENTIONED, MAKING SURE WE'RE HAVING A NICE CONSISTENCY AT ALL OF THE MAJOR INTERSECTIONS. SO AT 605 AND CENTRAL COLLEGE, WE WORKED WITH MCCSC AND THE CITY ON OKAY, THERE'S A THREE BY THREE GROVE OF TREES, AND THE BUILDINGS ARE ALL SET BACK SYMMETRICALLY, AND THERE'S KIND OF A CLEAN FLOW, AND THEN SORT OF THAT SAME DISCIPLINE WAS USED ON, ON THESE FOUR CORNERS TO HAVE CONSISTENCY ON, ON ALL, AND THEN AS IT TRANSITIONS OUT. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. AARON UNDERHILL I'M AN ATTORNEY WITH UNDERHILL AND HODGE HERE AT 8000 WATT PARKWAY IN NEW ALBANY. I JUST WANTED TO SAY A FEW WORDS ON THE WAIVERS, JUSTIN MENTIONED THAT HE AND HIS TEAM AND I'M A PART OF THAT TEAM. I DON'T DESIGN ANYTHING, HAVE BEEN AT THIS FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF YEARS, AND THEY'RE WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH STAFF AND REGULARLY MEETING. BUT THIS THIS PROJECT ACTUALLY GOES BEFORE THAT, SOME OF YOU MAY RECALL THAT WE HAD AN INITIAL, SUBMITTAL, AND WE WENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH UP TO CITY COUNCIL, AND WE DIDN'T QUITE GET THERE.AND SO WE'RE PROBABLY THREE, THREE AND A HALF YEARS INTO THIS, AND I WALK YOU THROUGH THAT HISTORY FOR THE REASON THAT, THIS THIS WAS VERY NEW TO EVERYBODY, THIS CONCEPT THAT WAS IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, I THINK WE'VE COME TO A GREAT RESULT. BUT EVERYTHING THAT WE DID IN THOSE EARLIER TIMES WERE A PREDICTION OF THE FUTURE. AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT ZONING IS TO A GREAT EXTENT, IS YOU'RE YOU'RE TRYING TO SEE FORWARD AND ACCOMMODATE WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH WHILE GIVING THE CITY THE SAFETY NETS TO MAKE SURE THEY GET THE PRODUCT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. AND, I THINK WE LARGELY ACCOMPLISHED THAT HERE, I THINK THE USE OF THE TERM WAIVERS HERE, IS A VERY SMART THING THAT THE URBAN CENTER CODE HAS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE IN THESE TIGHTER ENVIRONMENTS WITH A LOT OF DENSITY, VARIANCE IS REALLY NOT THE RIGHT WORD. A VARIANCE IS A LEGAL STANDARD. AND I DEAL WITH THIS AS A ZONING ATTORNEY ALL THE TIME WHERE YOU HAVE TO PROVE DIFFERENT THINGS IN ORDER TO MEET THAT LEGAL STANDARD. THIS THE WAIVER PROCESS, I THINK, ON PURPOSE IS A LESSER STANDARD THAT, ALLOWS FOR SOME CREATIVITY AND FLEXIBILITY SO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A COMPLEX PROJECT LIKE THIS ACROSS A PRETTY GOOD PIECE OF LAND THAT, YOU'RE, YOU'RE GIVING YOURSELF THE FLEXIBILITY TO LATER ON ADJUST TO MAKE A BETTER END PRODUCT. SO AS YOU'RE GOING THROUGH THE WAIVERS, I ASK YOU TO KEEP THAT IN MIND. AND I SAY THIS, TO WHEN I'M WHEN I'M PRESENTING VARIANCES AS WELL. VARIANCES ARE NOT A BAD WORD. I THINK THEY'RE OFTENTIMES LOOKED AT AS YOU'RE TRYING TO SKIRT THE RULES. HOWEVER THEY ARE, THOSE ARE THOSE ARE IN PLACE IN ORDER TO TAKE THESE, THESE SITUATIONS WHERE YOU HAVE REALLY A UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT CAN'T BE ADDRESSED IN ANY OTHER WAY AND COULDN'T HAVE BEEN PREDICTED. I THINK SIMILARLY HERE, WE, YOU KNOW, WE COULDN'T QUITE HAVE PREDICTED EVERYTHING. I MEAN,
[01:20:04]
THINGS LIKE THE SLOPE AND, AND, THINGS LIKE THAT ARE WERE DRIVEN LARGELY BY ENGINEERING. AND YOU DON'T GET TO ENGINEERING UNTIL YOU GET THE ZONING DONE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF CHICKEN OR THE EGG. SO, BUT I DO THINK THE WAIVER PROCESS IS IN PLACE BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A LITTLE MORE TOUCHY FEELY AND NOT QUITE AS, RIGID AS A VARIANCE STANDARD. AND SO AS YOU'RE REVIEWING THE WAIVERS, I ASK YOU TO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND. SO THANK YOU. SO THAT'S ALL WE FORMERLY HAD, WE HAVE 800MB OF ELEVATIONS THAT IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS WE CAN RUN THROUGH THOSE, WE CAN RUN THROUGH THE VARIOUS THE WAIVERS OR IF THERE'S JUST GENERAL Q&A.QUESTIONS. AND IF YOU WANT BRIAN TO PRESENT THE BRICK SAMPLES, THOSE ARE AVAILABLE AS WELL. LET ME JUST SEE WHAT STAFF MEMBERS I DO HAVE A CLARIFYING QUESTION FOR STAFF. WHAT IS THE APPROVAL PROCESS WITH THE HAMLET PLAN FOR THE INDIVIDUAL ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS IN THE INDIVIDUAL AREAS? IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN A WHEN A SINGLE HOME OR BUILDING WOULD COME BEFORE THIS BOARD, YOU KNOW, IN THE VILLAGE CENTER, WE ARE REVIEWING THAT INDIVIDUALLY. BUT IN THIS CASE IT'S MORE OF A PUD STYLE APPROACH IS THAT I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO CONFIRM IN TERMS OF WHERE THE JURISDICTION OF BOARDS STOP AND WHERE THE PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT HAS FULL RESPONSIBILITY. YEAH YEAH. WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IS CORRECT, SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER LIKE SINGLE FAMILY HOME DEVELOPMENT AND EVEN THE VILLAGE CENTER, YOU KNOW, THE ARB MAY APPROVE THE ZONING, THE STANDARDS FOR THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, THE GENERAL ARCHITECTURAL, DESIGN OR APPROACH FOR THOSE SUBDIVISIONS. BUT THE INDIVIDUAL HOUSES ARE APPROVED AND BUILT AS PART OF THE PERMITTING PROCESS.
WE WORK WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT VERY, VERY CLOSELY TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S BUTTONED UP REALLY NICELY. BUT WE WON'T SEE IT AGAIN. THIS IS UNDERSTOOD. RIGHT. BUT THE CITY ARCHITECT WILL STILL HAVE, REVIEW OF THE INDIVIDUAL PERMITS OF THE INDIVIDUAL HOMES. AND IF A DEVIATION WERE TO OCCUR, THEN IT COULD COME BACK TO THIS BOARD. BUT UNLIKELY, GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE APPROVAL THAT'S BEING REQUESTED. YES YEAH. IF THERE IS A WAIVER REQUEST THAT IT WOULD COME BACK BEFORE A PUBLIC BOARD, SIMILAR TO ANY OTHER HOUSE. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU, WHILE I HAVE THE HOT MIC, I DID WANT TO ASK ONE OTHER QUESTION OR MAKE A COMMENT AS WE CONSIDER THE WAIVER REQUEST ABOUT, THE TWO FOOT HEIGHT OFF THE OFF OF GRADE OR ABOVE GRADE, I WONDER IF STAFF COULD CONSIDER A REQUIREMENT, AT LEAST FOR POSITIVE SLOPE FROM THE FOUNDATION TO THE ADJACENT SIDEWALK OR STREET. I THINK WHAT WE SEE A LOT IN NEW ALBANY IS WE DON'T SEE IT A LOT, BUT WHEN WE DO SEE IT, IT'S VERY OBVIOUS, WHICH IS THE BUILDING HASN'T BEEN SUFFICIENTLY PLACED ABOVE GRADE AND IT HAS A VERY DISTRACTING ESTHETIC TO IT. I COULD CITE SOME EXAMPLES. I WON'T. I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHERE SOME OF THOSE EXIST AND, I'D LIKE TO AT LEAST I APPRECIATE THE NEED TO AT LEAST MINIMIZE OR HAVE THE LATITUDE TO MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF STEPS FOR, FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT WERE ARTICULATED. BUT I WOULD ASK THAT FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER, SO LONG AS THERE IS A MINIMUM GRADE SLOPE FROM FACE OF FOUNDATION TO ADJACENT STREET OR SIDEWALK, 3% OR WHATEVER IS APPROPRIATE. YOU KNOW, BY, BY THE OVERALL GRADING STANDARDS OF THE, OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I JUST I'D HATE TO SEE THAT RESULT IN BUILDINGS THAT DON'T LOOK SUFFICIENTLY PERCHED ABOVE GRADE AND THAT WOULD VIOLATE ALL KINDS OF OTHER ARCHITECTURAL PRECEDENT. AND SO I, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE INTENT, BUT I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME CLARIFYING LANGUAGE CONSIDERED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WILL WORK AS INTENDED. YEAH. AND WE I THINK WE SPECIFICALLY SAID WE STILL EXPECT TWO STEPS AS A MINIMUM. ON EVERY, ON EVERY HOME BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL ONE STEP OR EVEN FLAT IS AN APPROPRIATE, ESTHETIC FOR BEING WITH IN THIS AREA. SO TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. THE DIFFERENCE FROM 12IN OR 18IN TO 24, IT WAS THAT THAT LATE LAST EIGHT INCHES HAS WAS WHERE IT GOT MORE COMPLICATED. THANK YOU, MR. HENSON. DOES IT MAKE SENSE IN TERMS OF GETTING COMMENTS OR PROCESSING THIS TO MAYBE GO THROUGH THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS AND, AND HAVE THE BOARD COMMENT AS WE GO THROUGH BY SUB AREA, BY, BY SUB AREA, AND I WOULD I WOULD SUGGEST THAT
[01:25:08]
WE DO THE ARCHITECTURAL COMMENTS FIRST AND THEN WE ATTEND TO THE WAIVERS. AFTER THAT WOULD BE MY PROPOSAL SUBJECT TO THE BOARD T. I AGREE WITH THAT. MR. RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO PROCEED TO BE LESS THOROUGH. OH, THANKS. LET'S START WITH STEP ONE. YES WOULD YOU LIKE THE ENLARGED ELEVATIONS OR THE OVERALL STREET ELEVATIONS? SOMETIMES I'VE GOT COMMENTS ON THE STREET. SOMETIMES I'VE GOT COMMENTS ON THE INDIVIDUAL. SO I THINK IF WE JUST GO THROUGH AND IF NOBODY HAS ANY COMMENT, I'LL CLICK ON I GUESS WOULD BE MY. OH, I HAVE SOME COMMENTS. YEAH.PLEASE. I THINK OKAY, SO WE'RE IN SUB AREA ONE, SO I COUNTED 4 OR 5 ROOF COLORS, WHICH I FEEL IS NOT, THE LOOK THAT NEW ALBANY TYPICALLY HAS. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A LOT OF, DISTRACTION. AND I UNDERSTAND THE ONE HAS, THE GREEN METAL AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH THAT. BUT THERE'S GEORGETOWN GRAY, BIRCHWOOD THUNDERSTORM GRAY. POSSIBLY TERRACOTTA. THAT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT, COLORS. AND I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN STILL ACHIEVE THE SAME LOOK BUT HAVE SOME COHESIVENESS WITH, OKAY. ONE COLOR. CONSISTENT IN THAT AREA, I, WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL, SO. OKAY WOULD YOU LIKE US TO INDICATE, THE TWO ROOF COLORS THAT WE WOULD USE AND. I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THIS. YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE SAMPLES OF THE ROOF COLORS. I DON'T HERE. I MEAN, I THINK IT SHOULD BE, IT SHOULD PLAY WITH THE REST OF THE HAMLET AREA, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE RED. I FEEL LIKE A RED ROOF DOESN'T REALLY FIT INTO THE LOOK AND FEEL OF NEW ALBANY. OKAY AND THEN WE CAN GET RID OF THE RED. A COUPLE DIFFERENT GRAYS, LIKE, I CAN'T REMEMBER. BIRCHWOOD WAS A BROWN, BUT I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A PRETTY CONSISTENT, COLOR OF ROOFS, WE CAN GO TO ONE CONSISTENT COLOR IF YOU'D LIKE. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT WOULD BE. THAT'S FIN. YEAH. WE'LL DEFAULT TO THE OH OF COURSE. THANK YOU. DO WE DO WE WANT TO LIMIT IT TO JUST ONE OR CAN WE LIKE LIMIT IT TO TWO MAYBE TWO. BUT THERE'S A LOT.
YEAH THERE'S A LOT I AGREE WITH YOU I THINK IT'S A IT'S A BIT OF A TUG OF WAR. THERE'S ENOUGH VARIETY OF FORM AND USE THAT IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE APPROPRIATE TO HAVE ONE. I MEAN, I'D BE I'D BE OKAY WITH 2 TO 3, BUT THAT PROBABLY IS WHAT I'M THINKING. BUT I DO WANT TO LET ME JUST RESPOND TO THAT. WE COULD CERTAINLY DO TWO COLORS AND THEN ALTERNATE THEM SO WE GET ENOUGH VARIETY WITH THE FORMS. IF YOU'D LIKE, IF THAT WOULD WORK, IF THAT WOULD PLEASE DEFER TO OTHERS ON THAT, I DO WANT TO ASK ABOUT SIGNAGE. HAS I HATE TO OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS ON THIS TOPIC, AS THE BOARD IS PRONE TO DEBATE SIGNAGE MIGHTILY, BUT HAS IT BEEN CONTEMPLATED IN THESE ELEVATIONS FOR THE FOR THE RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL USE? AND WHERE WHERE WOULD THAT BE? AND HOW IS THAT BEING, HOW IS THAT BEING MANAGED BY BY THE ADMINISTRATION AS FAR AS APPROVALS AND SUCH? I MEAN, I PRESUME THAT'LL HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE US ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS OR NOT. NO, IT WOULD NOT. THEY WOULD BE RESTRICTED TO WHAT'S, WHAT'S WHAT'S PERMITTED IN CITY CODE. UNLESS THERE'S A PROVISION IN THE TEXT THAT THEY CAN COME BACK WITH A MASTER SIGN PLAN FOR THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT. BUT AT THIS TIME, THEY'RE JUST STICKING WITH WHAT'S PERMITTED A CITY CODE. BUT THAT WOULD NOT COME BACK TO THE AREA. OKAY, OKAY. SO WE ON THE ON THE ON THE COLOR COMMENT JUST TO KIND OF COME BACK TO THAT. AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER ANYBODY ELSE HAVE COMMENTS. I MEAN, IT I MEAN IT SOUNDS LIKE WE WANT SOUNDS LIKE WE I'VE HEARD TWO COLORS BUT NO RED ONE TWO COLORS, NO RED METALS. OKAY. FOR THE ONE METAL ITEM, I THINK THAT'S YEAH, I THINK SO. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK I'M OKAY WITH THE METAL? OKAY. I LIKE A VARIETY. I LIKE THE WAY THIS LOOKS. FIVE IS I THINK YOUR TO YOUR POINT IS GOOD. I'D BE FINE WITH THREE, TO GIVE SOME FLEXIBILITY, BUT I'D BE FINE WITH THREE. I AGREE, MAYBE WE ELIMINATE THE RED. THAT'S FINE.
BUT WHAT'S THE PRECEDENT ON THE, THE CEDAR SIDING? DO WE HAVE PRECEDENT FOR THAT, OR WHAT WAS
[01:30:06]
THE THINKING ON THAT? WHAT WAS THE MOTIVATION FOR THAT? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. GREAT COMMENT.THE THE PROJECT, THOSE TWO BUILDINGS THAT HAVE THE SHAKES ON THEM ARE THE TWO THAT LEAD INTO THE WOODS. AND SO IT WAS AN EFFORT TO SOFTEN THE PROJECT AS IT LEADS INTO THE WOODLANDS. SO THAT THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE SHAKES. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A SPECIFIC PRECEDENT IN, IN NEW ALBANY PROPER. I WOULD, SAY THERE ARE PRECEDENTS IN OHIO AND OTHER OLDER OHIO, NEW ALBANY, OHIO. I KNOW THERE'S A SHAKE. I THINK THERE'S A SHAKE IN THE COURT. SO WHAT'S THE BOARD'S THOUGHTS ON THAT? AND LONG TERM MAINTENANCE WORK IS, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THAT CAN I LIKE IT? I MEAN, IT'S OBVIOUSLY AGAIN, DIFFERENT TEXTURES. I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO IT. WHICH BUILDING IS THAT ON. THERE'S TWO BUILDINGS. THIS ONE HERE. SO THE IT'S THIS BUILDING AND THIS BUILDING, THE TWO BUILDINGS ADJACENT TO THE WOODLANDS. OKAY. THAT GO INTO THE SUGAR. RIGHT.
SO HERE'S THE, THE SECOND BUILDING. SO THE MR. MEYER, DO YOU KNOW, ISN'T THAT THE SAME ROOF THAT'S REQUIRED ALONG, ALONG THE, THE GOLF COURSE MAYBE. OR IS THAT LONG? I THINK THAT'S WHAT I HAD IN MY OGDEN WOODS HOUSE. RIGHT. WASN'T THAT THE CEDAR SHAKE ROOF THAT WAS REQUIRED? MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS ALONG THE BOULEVARD STREET? YEAH. THERE ARE MULTIPLE I THINK, WE DO HAVE THE COUNTRY CLUB THAT HAVE WOOD. YEAH, THAT REQUIRE WOOD SHAKE, ROOFING MATERIALS. SO IT CERTAINLY EXISTS IN THAT FORM IN NEW ALBANY. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SIDING. RIGHT. AND WOULD THE SIDING BE NATURAL OR WOULD IT BE SIMULATED. THESE ARE NATURAL.
THIS IS THE PUSH AND PULL BETWEEN HE AND I, THIS ONE, WAS INTENDED TO BE A REAL THE OTHER ONE WITH THE HIGHER UP IS, IS GOING TO BE SIMULATED. OKAY THAT ONE. OKAY.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS. ON THIS SECTION, I, I'D LIKE TO SEE SAMPLES OF THAT. I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE KEARSLEY SAMPLES OF THAT SYNTHETIC MATERIAL THAT WOULD BE PROPOSED.
OR PHOTOS WHERE IT'S BEEN USED. IN OTHER BUILDINGS AND OTHER PROJECTS. SO IT SAYS IT'S A FIBER CEMENT SHAKE. WHICH IS REFERRED. TO AS. FIBER CEMENT SHAKES, I JUST HAVEN'T. IT'S YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO VISUALIZE IT. I THINK, LIKE MR. HANSON IS LIKE WHAT IT. BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT HERE AND HOW IT'S GOING TO FIT IN WITH THE REST OF THE, YOU KNOW, THE MORE TRADITIONAL TOWNHOMES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT ARE AROUND IT.
THANK YOU. BRIAN. YEAH PUBLIC COMMENT. IS IT GOING TO BE PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE A WEATHERED SHINGLE, OR IS IT GOING TO BE PAINTED, SOLID COLOR TO LIKE IT'S AN OLD SHINGLE THAT'S BEEN PAINTED OVER WITH PAINT. YEAH, YOU CAN DO THAT. YES. OKAY.
[01:35:07]
I THINK WE'RE BECAUSE OF THE SHADOW LINE WOULD COME. THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE VARIATION IN THAT. YOU DON'T WANT TO PAINT THE CONSISTENT COLOR. YEAH I'M GOING TO ANOTHER BUILDING. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THESE. WE HAVE WE HAVE WE MOVED BEYOND THIS IN THE SENSE OF WE'RE ACCEPTING IT.SO I'M HEARING I HAVE NO OTHER COMMENTS FOR THIS BUILDING. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE USED ON THE LOWER LEVEL TWO ON THE WEST ELEVATION OF, BUILDING. 33 AND 32, I THINK IT IS. IS THAT ACCURATE? IS THAT YOU'LL USE TH, THE, CEMENT FIBER SHAKE ON THAT ONE. THE FIRST ONE RIGHT THERE.
YEAH. IS THAT ACCURATE? YOU'LL IT'LL BE THE FIBER CEMENT, SHAKE WILL ALSO BE ON THE FIRST FLOOR.
SO IT'LL BE ON THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR OF THOSE BUILDINGS. OKAY.
OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN. SO JUST FROM IN TERMS OF TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT WE'RE SAYING, ARE WE SAYING WE'RE OBJECTING TO IT OR WE'RE SAYING WE'VE NOW NOTED IT AND I ACCEPT THAT. I THINK IT'S A IT'S A GOOD TEXTURE UP ABOVE. BUT TO YOUR POINT, MAYBE NOT DOWN BELOW. YEAH.
THERE IS NOWHERE JUST TO ANSWER THAT POINT. THERE'S NOWHERE WHERE IT HITS THE GROUND.
THERE'S ALWAYS STONE OR, DIMENSIONAL CAST STONE AT THE BASE OF ALL SIDING IN THE COMMERCIAL AREA. I DON'T I ASKED THE QUESTION, BUT I DON'T WANT TO LEAD THE WITNESS. I DON'T OBJECT TO A SIMULATED MATERIAL. I THINK ONE THING ABOUT CEDAR SHAKES IS THAT IF THEY IF THEY WHETHER THEY'RE GOING TO CURL AND WHEN THEY CURL, THEY'RE GOING TO SHRINK. AND WHEN THEY SHRINK, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE LOOK THAT THEY MAY HAVE IN THE IN THE RENDERS THAT WE SEE HERE. SO THERE'S MERIT TO A SIMULATED MATERIAL IN THIS. IN THIS INSTANCE, I, I MEAN, ONCE AGAIN, I'LL, I'LL DEFER TO THE REST OF THE BOARD ON THIS, BUT I DON'T OBJECT TO IT. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE. I DIDN'T WHAT WE WERE GETTING. I DON'T OBJECT TO IT. YEAH, I GUESS I DON'T OBJECT TO IT. I GUESS THE ESPECIALLY THE SIMULATED SIMULATED ONES, BUT THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE NATURAL ARE JUST CONCERNS ABOUT THE LONG TERM. YEAH. YEAH I AGREE TO THE POINT. WHERE DO WE EVEN WANT A NATURAL MATERIAL? I THINK IF YOU WANT, WE'D BE HAPPY TO GO ALL SIMULATED WITH THEM. I DON'T THINK THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THAT. IT'S A LOT LESS MAINTENANCE AND LESS CONCERNS. YEAH. AND I THINK CONSISTENCY WOULD PROBABLY BE VALUABLE IN THAT INSTANCE. OKAY I AGREE I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD KEEP IT CONSISTENT AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE LONG TERM LOOK OF IT. ALL RIGHT. SO THE TAKE AWAY IS ALL SYNTHETIC SHAKE SIDING. I APPROVE THAT OKAY. THIS AGAIN IS IN SOME IN SOME AREA ONE, WHICH IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT THAT'S CORRECT. AND REPLACING IT. YES. THAT'S WHAT SIMULATED. OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. THE WHERE ANY ANY OTHER OTHER COMMENTS. IN SUMMARY ONE I HAVE ONE MORE BUILDINGS 29 THROUGH 37 HAVE A LOT OF BRIGHT DETAILS. SO IT LOOKS, JUST LIGHTER AND THEN WHEN YOU TRANSITION TO BUILDING 26, IT LOOKS VERY DARK. MORE MORE OF A, LIKE A MUCH MORE SOMBER FEEL IS THAT THE RENDERING OR THESE ARE THE MATERIALS THAT DARK. NO. SO THIS IS, SO I ACTUALLY PULLED THE SLIDES FROM LAST PRESENTATION THAT WE DID, BUT, THE JEFFERSON JEFFERSONIAN VISION THAT YOU HAVE IN THE CORE OF THE BUILDING IS RED BRICK AND WHITE TRIM. CORRECT IN THE HISTORIC COMMUNITIES THAT PREDATED 1835, WHEN NEW ALBANY
[01:40:06]
STARTED, WHITE PAINT WAS REALLY EXPENSIVE. SO YOU ONLY USED IT FOR YOUR CENTRAL BUILDING OR YOUR CORE, ARRIVAL MOMENT, SO IN WETHERSFIELD, CONNECTICUT, FROM WHERE I GREW UP, THE CONGRESSIONAL CHURCH WAS THE ONLY BUILDING THAT HAD WHITE TRIM. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS MUCH MORE MUTED AND SUBDUED. AND SO ONE OF THE THOUGHTS WE HAD FOR THE PROJECT WAS THAT WE WOULD USE MORE MUTED AND SUBDUED COLORS. THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT UP TO THE CENTER. AND THEN THIS BUILDING WOULD HAVE THE WHITE, BUT ONLY THIS BUILDING. SO THAT WAS THE THOUGHT, AS OPPOSED TO THE VILLAGE CENTER, WHERE EVERYTHING IS WHITE AND RED IN THE HAMLET CENTER, ONLY THIS BUILDING IS WHITE, AND I'M HAPPY TO GO TO A HISTORIC COLOR WHITE, WHICH WOULD BE NOT A STARK WHITE. I'D BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH HIM. IN FACT, THE PATTERN BOOK INSISTS THAT ALL THE COLORS THAT ARE USED COME FROM THE HISTORIC COLOR PALETTE. SO YOU COULDN'T GET A STARK WHITE IN THE PROJECT. AND I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE STARK WHITE, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE BRIGHTER, I THINK. SO IT FEELS VERY DARK. OKAY I WOULD CAUTION AGAINST THE CONTRAST, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FLAT SPECIFICALLY. YEAH, THAT THAT CONTRAST COULD COULD WORK AGAINST US IN TERMS OF THE OUTCOME. YOU'RE SAYING THIS COLOR HERE IS TOO DARK, THAT THIS BUILDING. NO. I'M SORRY, I'M ON BUILDING 2626. THE FLATS. YES THE FLATS? YES IS THAT SUB AREA ONE THIS AREA? RIGHT HERE? I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. I MEAN, IT DEFINITELY DOES HAVE TO BE BRIGHT WHITE. AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THAT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A THERE'S SOME UNDULATION WITH THE DIFFERENT FACADES AS WELL. SO IT'S TOO BRIGHT. I TOTALLY AGREE. MAYBE A BEIGE OR, YOU KNOW, AND THOSE LOOK A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER THAN WHAT THIS PRINTOUT IS. BUT I STILL THINK IT JUST FEELS. IT FEELS HEAVY AND DARK. AND I FEEL LIKE THE PRECEDENT IN NEW ALBANY IS, IS MUCH LIGHTER THAN THAT. IT LOOKS. GREAT YEAH, IT DOES FEEL GREAT. THERE YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY SO WE JUST SAID THAT IN BUILDING 26. WAS IT RICHFIELD GRAY? IS THAT WHAT I WOULD SAY FOR THE FOR THE SIDING WOULD BE MITCHELL GRAY. I THINK THE TRIM WOULD WANT TO BE A SHADE TOO DARKER. OKAY, SO IF YOU'D ALLOW US THE ABILITY TO DEPICT THE SHADE, THAT'S SLIGHTLY DARKER FOR THE TRIM, FOR THAT, WHEN YOU SAY TRIM WINDOW SURROUNDS, CORNICE. OH, AND THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH OKAY. THANK YOU. DO YOU DO YOU AGREE? YEAH. THEY SHOULD BE CONSISTENT. I WOULD AGREE, I'M JUST THIS IS STAFFER, I THINK THE FIRST PAGE OR TWO OF THE BOOKS, I KIND OF CRAFTED A LITTLE NARRATIVE THERE, I DID, I WAS I WANTED TO BE CAUTIOUS THAT, LIKE, IF WE EXPECT LITCHFIELD GRAY AND WE COME BACK WITH A DIFFERENT PAINT MANUFACTURER, THAT'S A DIFFERENT NAME, OR DO WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY THEN TO WORK WITH STAFF TO. YEAH. I MEAN, I WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE IN THE NATURE OF, OKAY. YEAH, I WOULD AGREE THE OVERALL LOOK OKAY. BRIGHTEN IT UP A LITTLE BIT GRAY OR EQUA. NO I'M NOT I WOULDN'T I WOULDN'T THINK WE'D WANT TO BE VERY SPECIFIC HERE BECAUSE THINGS CHANGE. AND THEY AND THEY RENAMED THINGS AND YOU KNOW ONCE YOU GET TO THE OTHER BUILDINGS TOO, I MEAN, YOU MIGHT REALIZE THAT MAYBE THAT COLOR DOESN'T GO WITH ANOTHER. I MEAN, IT'S IT ALL HAS TO BLEND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S TRUE. OKAY ANYTHING ELSE IN SUB AREA ONE. ARE WE CONSIDERING THIS BUILDING? SUB AREA ONE OR WHAT? ONE OR. WELL, YEAH. I MEAN, SHOULD WE MOVE ON NOW TO THIS BUILDING BECAUSE I GUESS YEAH. THAT WAS. YEAH I HADN'T. YEAH. LET'S MOVE ON TO, LET'S MOVE TO THIS BUILDING. MR.[01:45:03]
26 YEAH. HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE CITY ARCHITECT IN DETAIL? YES. THE ONE THING I NOTICED ON THIS BUILDING, I THINK THE COMPOSITION, I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE COMPOSITION. I UNDERSTAND THE BREAKING DOWN OF THE SCALE AND I THINK IT WORKS WELL FROM THE LIMITED REVIEW I'VE DONE, I JUST QUESTION THE ENTRY AND, PROPORTIONS OF THE FLANKING ENTRIES ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT.THE, THE PEDIMENT ROOF AND COLUMNS LOOK TO BE OUT OF SCALE WITH THE REST OF THE ARCHITECTURE, AND I ONLY BRING THIS UP BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN SCRUTINIZED BY THIS BOARD ON PREVIOUS APPROVALS, IS THAT WE WANT TO I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT THAT WE ASKED THE APPLICANT TO MAINTAIN THE APPROPRIATE PROPORTIONS OF COLUMNS, DIAMETER TO HEIGHT, FRIEZE BOARDS AND ALL THE OTHER ASSOCIATED ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP THE APPROPRIATE SCALED ENTRY THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BUILDING IN THE OVERALL CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT. AND IT IT DOES TO ME APPEAR TO BE SOMEWHAT UNRESOLVED ON THOSE ISSUES, AND I WOULDN'T HAVE OTHERWISE COMMENTED IF NOT FOR THE SORT OF FINALITY OF WHAT WE'RE BEING ASKED TO REVIEW TONIGHT. I THINK THAT ALSO COULD BE SUBJECT TO STAFF APPROVAL. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK THAT WE THAT WE CALL THAT OUT AS A AS A REQUIREMENT, BECAUSE WHEN NOT DONE PROPERLY, IT CAN REALLY DIMINISH THE OVERALL ESTHETIC. YEAH THANK YOU. CITY ARCHITECT DID REVIEW THOSE SPECIFICALLY, BUT WE CAN HAVE HIM TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.
YEAH. AND THE PATTERN BOOK REQUIRES THE ADHERENCE TO WHERE'S AMERICAN VIGNOLA. NOT TO SAY THEY DIDN'T ADHERE TO IT, BUT WE TRIED AND SO WE COULD GIVE IT ANOTHER, SET OF POLISH.
I WILL SAY THIS BUILDING WENT THROUGH A LOT OF PROGRESSION. A IS IT KIND OF WORKED AROUND THE ROOT ZONE AND ALL THOSE DETAILS. THIS THE THREE SUB AREA THREE AND THIS BUILDING, SPECIFICALLY THE EACH ITERATION WITH DAVID WAS WAS VERY THOROUGH. SO BUT I THINK AS WE GET TO THAT FINAL DETAILING AND PERMITTING GET FLESHED OUT. ANYTHING ELSE ON SUB AREA ONE, WE MOVE TO SUB AREA TWO. YES. LET'S DO THAT. SO I HAD MY FIRST COMMENT HERE. MAYBE, WELL LET'S, LET'S, LET'S START HERE ON THE STREETSCAPE. JUST BECAUSE I CAN PROBABLY GET THEM ALL, SAY, OKAY. SO MY FIRST QUESTION WAS WHEN I GET INTO THESE BUILDINGS HERE, IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF BLANK WALL SPACE THERE. I AGREE, AND I AND AT LEAST IN TERMS OF MAYBE FROM THE STREETSCAPE, I DIDN'T SEE ANY FOLK, ANY FAUX WINDOWS OR ANYTHING. MAYBE THEY ARE IN THE DETAILS. SO HELP ME OUT. I MEAN, WHEN WE GET TO THOSE. BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST MY FIRST REACTION AND WE CAN MAYBE LOOK CLOSER, AT THEM WHEN WE GET TO THE INDIVIDUAL PAGES. THE OTHER COMMENT JUST GENERALLY HERE, AND I'LL JUST OFFER IT TO THE BOARD. I SHOWED THIS TO MY WIFE AND SHE'S ON THE BOARD AT MIAMI OF OHIO, AND SHE SAID THAT PARTICULARLY HERE, AND I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ONES WHERE WE HAVE THE FULL THREE STOREYS PLUS THE PLUS OUR, OUR HALF, SHE SAID. THEY LOOK LIKE DORMS AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER ANYBODY ELSE HAD THAT REACTION AND WHETHER THERE'S ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. BUT THAT WAS KIND OF A HER REACTION. AND SO IT FEELS VERY INSTITUTIONAL. I FEEL LIKE THAT IT'S SO REPETITIVE. AND THEN THE ENDS ARE MISSING. I MEAN, NOT THAT YOU WANT MORE WINDOWS, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S LACKING DETAIL. AND AGAIN, IT'S VERY DARK. IT FEELS IT FEELS VERY DARK. SO MAYBE, MAYBE WE CAN GET. YEAH HERE WE ARE IN THE FIRST DETAIL.
AND ARE THERE AGAIN. ARE THERE. WHAT PAGE IS THAT? THAT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PAGES 24.
PAGE 24. OKAY LET'S SEE IF I CAN FIND IT BECAUSE I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THERE. OTHER THAN THE WATER TABLE. CORRECT. ON THE. YEAH, THERE'S A WATER TABLE ON THIS. AND THIS IS, AND THIS IS THE ELEVATION. AND I MAY I MAY FEEL LESS PROBLEMATIC TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE'S SOMETHING IN IT, BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT THESE ARE SEEN FROM THE STREET, THAT BOTHERED ME TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY LOOKED DIRECTLY INTO ANOTHER BUILDING, THEY PROBABLY DON'T BOTHER ME AS MUCH. BUT I'LL I'LL LET THE BOARD REACT. I DO THINK WHERE THERE'S AN EXPOSURE OF THE THIRD LEVEL,
[01:50:04]
WHICH IS AT THE BASE, IT I'M TRYING TO RECONCILE THE SAME CONCERN THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS EXPRESSED ABOUT THIS. IT SEEMS THAT THE EXPOSED THIRD STORY BASE REQUIRES A BASE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE LACK OF HIERARCHY GOING FROM THE EXPOSED ON THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER, THE EXPOSED, FOUNDATION BASEMENT AREA ALL THE WAY UP TO THE ROOF EAVE WITH ANY LACK OF HIERARCHY, SEEMS TO WORK AGAINST THE INTENT OF THE PLAN, I APPRECIATE THE SIMPLICITY OF IT. I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING WE STRUGGLE WITH WITH TIDEWATER GEORGIAN IN ITS VERY NATURE, BEING A RESTRAINED ESTHETIC. SO I DON'T WANT TO SUGGEST THAT WE JUST ADD DETAIL FOR THE SAKE OF DETAIL, BUT I DO THINK A PROPER BASE AND PERHAPS A MORE ARTICULATED WATER TABLE COULD POTENTIALLY MEDIATE THAT A LITTLE BETTER. I ALSO OCCURRED TO ME THAT THE YEAH, I WANT TO ZOOM IN BECAUSE I THINK IT'S HARD TO SEE THE DETAIL OF THE AT THE. YEAH, NO, THAT WAS GOOD. THE UPPER ELEVATION IS WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW. I THINK WE HAVE AND THE UNFORTUNATELY THE COMPUTER BLEW UP WHEN IT WAS. IF YOU, IF YOU GO UP TO THE UPPER ELEVATION PLEASE. YEAH. OKAY NOW THE ARCHES WILL HAVE, JACK ARCHES AND THE BREAK IS THERE. BUT THIS GIVES YOU A SENSE OF THE DETAIL THAT'S IN THAT FACADE. SO I'M NOT. YES, YOU HAVE THE BASE WATERCOURSE. YOU ALSO HAVE A STREAM COURSE GOING ACROSS HERE, TO YOUR POINT, BECAUSE I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT I ALSO THINK IT'S, BETTER TO KEEP IT SUBTLE, IF YOU'D LIKE, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF ESTABLISHING THE BASE WITHOUT, CHANGING THE PALETTE, AGREED. YOU COULD COIN IT. I MEAN, YOU COULD DO A, YOU KNOW, A EVERY FIFTH COURSE INSET, YEAH. I IT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE. YEAH, THERE'S IT'S TRICKY. CANDIDLY, THESE HAD MORE SIDING ORIGINALLY, AND I THINK THE SORT OF STATEMENT WE GOT WORKING WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT WAS, LET'S, LET'S GET BACK TO A MORE SIMPLIFIED BRICK, KIND OF ESTHETIC. SO I WOULD SAY SIDING HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN GETTING REMOVED, WHICH DOES ADD A LITTLE BIT OF VARIETY. IT STILL IN SOME SPOTS, BUT, MUCH LESS, ON CLEARLY ANY OF THE FRONTS AND THE SIDES TO, TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE RUN, WE DO HAVE SOME BAYS LIKE THIS SO THAT THE BAYS HELP BREAK IT UP. SO IT'S LESS DORM LIKE. YEAH SORRY, BUT IT'S HARD TO SEE THAT WHEN YOU'RE AT A SMALL SCALE. SO, I THINK THE, THE NORTHWEST IS YOU'RE SORT OF FACING THE INTERSECTION OF CENTRAL COLLEGE AND 605, THOSE ELEVATIONS DO HAVE THAT. THREE BY THREE GROWTH THAT MXQ REQUESTED. SO IT'S HEAVILY LANDSCAPED THERE AND SET BACK. AND THE, THE FENCING, BUT I, I DON'T DISAGREE THAT WE COULD EXPLORE WHETHER IT'S MORE OF A, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE ADD SOME BAY WINDOW OR SOME OTHER DETAILING ONTO THOSE KIND OF THAT MORE BLANK. AND SO GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT OF WHEN YOU ZOOMED IN. IT HELPED GREATLY TO SEE SOME OF THAT DETAIL. BUT I THINK A LITTLE BIT MORE I THINK IT IS SCALED DOWN QUITE A BIT. OKAY. CURRENTLY I THINK THE, THINKING THROUGH THE PLAN, THE THREE AREAS WHERE IT POPS UP MOST WOULD BE THE MAIN ENTRY COMING OPPOSITE THE SUB AREA. THREE, THE TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. AS YOU'RE COMING IN THAT NORTH SID, THERE'D BE THAT SIDE. AND THEN THE TWO ELEVATIONS FACING THAT 605 CENTRAL COLLEGE INTERSECTION. THE OTHER ENTRY TO THE WEST, IT'S A IT'S A DIFFERENT PALETTE, DIFFERENT DESIGNER THERE. THERE'S THERE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE, THERE'S KIND OF THE INFILL WINDOW AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A PORCH ELEMENT. YES, THAT WAS ADDED IN THE CITY ARCHITECT. WE SHOWED THEM THE, A LARGE ELEVATIONS WHERE THEY ASKED. WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THOSE BUILDINGS? I'M SORRY, WHAT IS THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THOSE BUILDINGS WITH THE DIMENSION? IS A MINIMUM OF TEN FEET. TEN. TEN. OKAY THOSE SPACES AREN'T QUITE AS MUCH. SO ANDREW, IN TERMS OF[01:55:06]
YOUR COMMENT, IS THERE ANY TAKEAWAY FOR THOSE OF US WRITING THINGS DOWN? WELL, I GUESS IF WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME ADDITIONAL ELEVATIONS, I WOULD I'LL THROW MY OTHER THREE COMMENTS INTO THE MIX TO HELP MEDIATE THIS CONCERN. THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED. NUMBER ONE, I THINK THE COMMENT ABOUT INSTITUTIONAL APPEARANCE IS, IS PERHAPS A FAIR CHARACTERIZATION.AND I ACTUALLY THIS IS A GOOD ELEVATION TO PAUSE ON IS I THINK THE LACK OF RESIDENTIAL SCALE MIGHT BE WORKING AGAINST US. I MEAN, THERE'S THE OTHER SUB AREAS HAVE CHIMNEYS. THESE LACK ANY ANY CHIMNEYS FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. AND I'M NOT SAYING A CHIMNEY IN AND OF ITSELF WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AND I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE JUST PUT FALSE CHIMNEYS UP ALONG THERE TO ADDRESS SCALE, BUT IT'S NOTICEABLY ABSENT AS I LOOK AT IT. THE SECOND THING IS THE STRETCHED, ROOF PITCHES. I'M STRUGGLING WITH THAT. SO LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER, UPPER RIGHT MIDDLE, LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE GOING FROM A 612 TO A 10 OR 1112, PITCH. AND I THINK THAT IS PULLING AND STRETCHING THE ELEVATION IN WAYS THAT JUST FEELS A LITTLE FORCED, BUT TAKEN IN, ITS ENTIRETY, THOSE OTHER COMMENTS SORT OF FEED THE NARRATIVE THAT I THINK WE'RE ALL STRUGGLING WITH HERE, I AGAIN, I UNDERSTAND THE DENSITY AND MASS AND SCALE. AND I WAS ALSO GOING TO ADD, I DON'T KNOW THAT THE DORMERS PARTICULARLY ENHANCE OR DETRACT FROM THE SUCCESS OF THE OF THE DESIGN. I UNDERSTAND THAT WAS PART OF THE CONVERSATION WITH STAFF AND I'LL, I'LL GO ALONG WITH IT. I CERTAINLY AM NOT OBJECTING TO IT EITHER WAY, BUT I THINK MY COMMENTS ARE JUST FROM A MASSING STANDPOINT. IT JUST SO TO RESPOND TO THAT, WE WORKED WITH YOUR CITY ARCHITECT, AND WHAT WE DID IS WE ESTABLISHED IN THE KEY PLACES ON THE SITE THESE RETURNS TO RESOLVE THOSE REFORMS AT THE CORNERS WHERE IT MIGHT BE REVEALED. SO WHEN YOU SEE IT EXPOSED AT AN AND IT'S REALLY MID-BLOCK, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GETTING EXPOSED TO THE, AS, AS IT'S BEING SHOWN HERE. I MEAN, THIS IS JUST TO SHOW AN ELEVATION NOT TO SHOW THE MASSING OF IT. UNDERSTOOD AND WE CAN ZOOM IN ON. SO I'M SHOWING THE LARGER ELEVATIONS. I CAN SHOW SOME MORE OF THE LARGER ELEVATIONS FOR YOU. ZOOM INTO THIS ONE ON THE UPPER SIDE HERE.
TOP LEFT. THAT'S GOOD. YEAH, YEAH. THAT HELPS. CAN WE? ZOOM OUT A LITTLE BIT? I MEAN, AGAIN, JUST TO SHOW THE. THIS ARCH AND THESE ARCHES WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE, ARCH MASONRY. SO I, I THINK THESE HAVE AN APPROPRIATE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER. I WOULD CHALLENGE THE THOUGHT THAT THESE AREN'T RESIDENTIAL. I THINK THE ENTRANCES, THE SPEED TO A RESIDENTIAL FRONT DOOR, RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, THE BAYS, SPEAK TO HABITATION, THE WINDOWS WITH THE TRANSOM ON THE GROUND FLOOR. TALKS TO RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, NOT TO A, A FACTORY OR OTHER KIND OF, YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER SEE THAT IN A DORMITORY. WILL THESE BE, SIMULATED, DIVIDED LIGHT WINDOWS WITH A SPECT? I DIDN'T CATCH THAT. YOU HAVE TO. YOU HAVE TO BE. YEAH, YEAH. OKAY SO. SO I THINK THERE'S A NUMBER OF GESTURES HERE THAT, TALK TO ITS RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER, AND CAN YOU JUST. I'M TRYING TO AGAIN GO FROM THAT TO THE BUILDING NUMBERS ON HERE. SO WHAT'S IT.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT NUMBERS, WHAT NUMBER OF ZOOM OU. SO THESE ARE, ON THIS DAY, SO 2015 OR NO, 24 AND 23. IS THAT WHAT ALL OF THESE, ALL OF THESE IN THIS AREA WOULD BE LIKE? YES.
NO, I GET IT. I'M CURIOUS. GIVING DETAILS. AND THAT'S TRUE IN AGAIN WHAT I, WE WERE LOOKING
[02:00:10]
AT, YOU WERE BASICALLY LOOKING AT THAT BUILDING FOR EXAMPLE. CORRECT. YEAH. BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE THE DETAILS ON THESE OTHER ONES TO KIND OF GET THE SAME, IS IT AM I, I GUESS I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS AND MOVE FORWARD, IT APPEARS IF YOU COULD CLARIFY, IT APPEARS THAT THE ROOF EAVE MEETS THE TOP OF WALL WITHOUT MUCH OF AN OVERHANG. IT LOOKS LIKE THE GUTTER LINE IS PROVIDING, YOU KNOW, A SHADOW LINE THERE. BUT MAYBE THAT'S WHAT'S NOT QUITE CLICKING WITH ME AS I LOOK AT IT. YOU'D BE PARTICULARLY ON A THREE STORY. YOU'D YOU'D SEE A PERHAPS A 12 TO 16 INCH SOFFIT AND FRIEZE ON THOSE, ROOF EAVES. AND I'M MAYBE I'M JUST NOT SEEING IT. OR COULD YOU ELABORATE ON THAT CONDITION ON THE ROOF TO WALL EAVE? SURE.THE, WE ARE NOT AT 12 INCH ROOF, BUT AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO BE MORE, VERNACULAR IN OUR ARCHITECTURE. SO IT'S A IT'S LESS IT IS A MORE SUBTLE CORNICE ON THE, ON THE TOP. OKAY. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO CAN I, CAN I GO BACK TO THE NORTH ELEVATION OF BUILDING ONE? NORTH ELEVATION BUILDING ONE, BUILDING ONE. YEA. 35. I THINK THIS IS THAT'S THE NORTH ELEVATION. YEAH. THAT'S THAT CAN'T BE IT BASED ON BASED UPON WHAT I'M SAYING. AND MAYBE IT'S THAT. MAYBE IT IS ACTUALLY ONE. MAYBE MAYBE IT'S THE NORTH MELBOURNE I WANT TO WHAT BUILDING IS THAT? LET ME TAKE YOU BACK. THAT'S THE SIDE OF BUILDING 15. THAT'S THAT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO THEN I GUESS, ADAM, I'M TURNED AROUND. BY THE WAY, IT'S SO THE SIDE. SO IT'S SO THE NORTH ELEVATION OF BUILDING 15. SORRY OH I SEE, I KNOW BUILDING ONE BECAUSE. YEAH. NO, NO I CAN I GET CAN WE ZOOM IN ON THE UPPER ON THE UPPER PORTION OF THAT ON BUILDING ONE, I JUST WANT TO LOOK FOR THE AGAIN, WE SAW A LOT OF DETAILING THERE WITH THE ONE THAT HAD THE FRAME, AND I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT THAT ONE. AND, AND BECAUSE THAT'S THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT I THINK MY WIFE FELT WERE MORE DORM LIKE, AS OPPOSED TO THE ONES THAT HAD THE HAD SOME FRAME IN THEM. AND I GUESS.
MR. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER MR. DAVEY AND OTHERS, I MEAN, IF, IF EVERYONE ELSE IS SATISFIED, THEN THEN I'LL MOVE. MOVE ON. NO I THINK I FEEL LIKE THERE NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTRAST AND DETAIL, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT FEELING AS RESIDENTIAL AS I THINK WE ALL WANT IT TO BE.
EVEN IF THERE WERE SOME DIFFERENT TREATMENT OF THE WINDOW SIZES AND TYPES, SO IT DIDN'T REPEAT EVERY LEVEL, SOMETHING WHEN THERE IS MORE OF A STANDARD. WE ACTUALLY WERE INSTRUCTED TO NOT. YEAH. TO CONSTRUCT THE BACK TO A MORE CONSISTENT WINDOW. I THINK THAT'S WHEN IT'S HARD TO IS THAT WE'RE RESPONDING TO THE FINAL PRODUCT WITHOUT THE PROCESS. AND YEAH I MEAN I'M NOT. INSTEAD OF ADDING VARIETY, LEFT TO RIGHT, MAYBE ADDING VARIETY UP AND DOWN WOULD BE, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO. OKAY SO MAYBE A WINDOW ON THE GROUND FLOOR THAT'S TALLER. YES ALL RIGHT. SO THIS THIS IS BUILDING BUILDING ONE AND ONE AND OTHER BUILDINGS THAT ARE SIMILAR BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER BUILDINGS THAT LOOK SIMILAR TO THIS. CORRECT? YEAH SO THIS IS PART OF THAT GROUP. SO WE SO BASICALLY A TALLER LARGE TALLER WINDOWS IN THE FIRST FLOOR OKAY. OKAY ALL RIGHT. SO NOW CAN I AGAIN GOING BACK TO THAT'S A VERY SPECIFIC DESIGN SOLUTION IS THAT LIKE I JUST OR OR OR OR OR OTHER OR OTHER CHANGE TO PROVIDE MORE OF A VARIETY VERTICALLY OR VERTICAL VARIETY. OKAY ALL RIGHT. THE, THE VERTICAL VARIETY, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A TECHNICAL TERM. IF YOU COULD BRING UP PAGE NINE, AN ARCHITECTURAL TERM. THERE IS PRECEDENCE FOR VARIETY AND MR. MALTZ, CAN WE BRING UP PAGE 19. HIERARCHY I THINK IS THE
[02:05:06]
VERTICAL HIERARCHY OF THE WINDOWS. AND THAT SAYS YEAH, I THINK THIS ONE'S. SO HERE HERE'S THERE IS SOME I NOTICED THE TWO STOREY VERSION. BUT EVEN THERE THERE'S SOME TALLER WINDOWS AT THE BASE LEVEL, WHEREAS THE THREE STOREY VERSION DOES NOT HAVE ANY. SO YEAH. SO THERE ARE DIFFERENT. YEAH. THIS GOES BACK TO THIS GOES BACK TO SORT OF THAT ORGANIC NATURE OF WE'RE WORKING WITH ONE ARCHITECT AND ONE PARTNER ON ONE SIDE AND ANOTHER ARCHITECT. AND SO IT'S SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF THE PUZZLE, BUT BUT EFFECTIVELY, WE PRACTICALLY WERE LOOKING FOR A VARIETY, WHETHER IT'S THIS WAY OR OR OTHERWISE. OKAY. SO OKAY.SO I GUESS IT'S BUILDING THIS NORTH ELEVATION BUILDING 15 IS WHAT I THINK SOMEBODY TOLD ME I WANTED. YEAH AS THEY GO UP, CAN WE BRING UP THE NORTH ELEVATION OF BUILDING 15? YEAH, YEAH. ON THIS PAGE IT'S ZOOMED OUT. EXACTLY. YEAH YEP. AND I THINK THIS IS GREAT. 13. YEAH. IT'S A TWO STEP LOW. 605 AND CENTRAL COLLEGE IF YOU IF YOU ZOOM OUT ON THIS IMAGE YOU'LL SEE IT IN THE FAR LEFT HAND. THIS ONE. YEAH. BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THERE'S NO BLOW UP ON THAT.
THAT'S THE ONLY. SO GOING BACK AGAIN I THINK THAT'S WHAT I HIGHLIGHTED EARLY ON IS DOES THAT BOTHER ANYBODY ELSE IF THAT'S GOING TO BE SEEN. YES YES YES. WHAT CAN WHAT CAN WE DO TO ADD MORE INTEREST. CAN WE AT LEAST PUT SOME FALSE PANELS HERE? ANDREW, YOU'RE THE SOLUTION TO THIS. WHAT WHAT WHAT WOULD YOU I THINK ALL OF THE ABOVE I MEAN IT THIS IS I MEAN, FOUR SIDED ARCHITECTURE HAS BEEN A CORNERSTONE OF THE NEW ALBANY STRATEGIC PLAN. SO I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS THAT THIS COULD BE RESOLVED TO OUR SATISFACTION. WHETHER IT'S I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THE HERRINGBONE, FALSE WINDOWS ON SOME OF THE OTHER ELEVATIONS OR BITING THE BULLET AND, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THAT EXTRA WINDOW IN AND WORKING AROUND IT ON THE OTHER CORNER TO STEPPING THAT ELEVATION, I MEAN, ANY, ANY AND ALL OF THE I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF SUITABLE SOLUTIONS HERE. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO BE THAT PRESCRIPTIVE AS A BOARD. I WOULD LIKE MORE ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST ON THIS ELEVATION AND ANYTHING EQUIVALENT THAT'S VISIBLE FROM, FROM ONE OF THE STREETS. IF IT IF IT JUST FACES INTO ANOTHER BUILDING. CONDITIONS LIKE THAT.
IT'S THE EAST SIDE OF BUILDING 14. IT'S THE NORTH SIDE OF BUILDING 15. AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE CENTER NORTH OF BUILDING ONE. IF THAT APPLIES. SO TO ADD. I GUESS. YEP, YEP. ELEVATION, THE NORTH ELEVATION. AND THEN THE SOUTH. AND WHAT ABOUT BUILDING ONE MORE BUILDING ONE.
IS IT THAT THAT WAS THAT WAS MORE INTERESTING THAT WAS MORE INTERESTING? I MISSPOKE SINCE I'M COMPLETELY TURNED AROUND AND LOOKING AT THESE IN TERMS OF, THE PORCH ELEMENT ADDED, THERE ARE MORE. YEAH. WINNING DETAILS AND A VERY RECENT SWITCHING. SO 1517. AND WHAT'S THE OTHER ONE? I DIDN'T WRITE DOWN 14, 15 AND 17. OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. SO I HAD I HAD ONE THING ON THE ON THE PAGES THAT SHOWED THE GARAGES HERE IN AREA TWO. SO LET ME JUST WRAP THIS ONE UP IF YOU DON'T MIND. SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD MORE DETAIL. YES YES. WITHOUT US TELLING YOU WHAT WHAT IT TO BE. YOU WILL. YOU'VE DONE GREAT WORK. AND SO WE KNOW THAT WE'LL LIKE IT. SO ON THE ON THE GROUND CAN I LOOK AT GET SOME OF THE ANY ONE OF THE ONES SHOWING THE GARAGES IN THIS SECTION.
WHATEVER. WHICHEVER ONE SHOWS GARAGES. PAGE 21. ELEVATIONS. YEAH. PAGE 34. PAGE 35. YEAH.
THAT'S A GOOD THAT I THINK THEY'RE ALL THEY'RE ALL MORE OR LESS THE SAME. SO CAN I GET CAN I ZOOM IN ON THOSE BECAUSE I, I MEAN SO WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT THE PUD AND WHAT THE PUD SEEMS TO SAY FOR, FOR SUBAREA TWO IS INDIVIDUAL BAY DOORS OR DOUBLE WIDE GARAGE DOORS THAT HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF INDIVIDUAL BAY DOORS, WHEN CLOSED, SHALL BE REQUIRED. AND THOSE DON'T SEEM
[02:10:03]
TO DO THAT. YES, I THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE APPLICANT, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE DETAILS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE REFINED AT THE TIME OF FINAL PERMITTING, THAT WAS IDENTIFIED DURING. OKAY. SO IT PRESUMABLY IF WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE IT, WE NEED TO TELL, WE NEED TO SAY SURE. OKAY. SO THIS IS BASICALLY THIS IS SUBAREA TWO GARAGE DOORS NEED TO NEEDS TO CONFORM TO THE PUD STATEMENT I WOULD DO SUB AREAS TWO AND THREE, AREA TWO AND THREE OKAY OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. CAN I ASK YOU'RE DOING REALLY WELL. JUST DID SOMEBODY BRING SNACKS? AND THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WHILE WE WHILE WE DO THIS. ALL RIGHT. RIGHT, RIGHT. THE COLOR. YEAH. THE LIGHTER COLOR, THE GARAGE, THE TRIM, THE DETAILS. IS IT THE SAME AS THAT GRAY THAT YOU JUST SHOWED ME, OR IS IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT? I THINK THAT WE WOUL.I THINK I'D STIPULATE THAT THE COLORS WOULD BE WORKED OUT WITH STAFF FROM THE HISTORICAL PALETTE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I THINK AN OVERARCHING SOUNDS LIKE AN OVERARCHING THEME IS TO SORT OF MAYBE LIGHTEN ACROSS THE BOARD. YES. AND I THINK IT'S A MATTER OF FINDING THE RIGHT THE RIGHT OPTION. I DID NOT. THE INTENTION WAS FOR THAT GRAY OR THAT, YOU KNOW, COLOR TO MATCH THE FLATS THAT WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT. IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT OR IF IT WAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT, BUT IN THE SAME, OKAY, A LITTLE BIT DARKER. BUT I THINK WE CAN LIGHTEN EVERYTHING UP. OKAY. THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU, WHILE WE'RE HERE, LET ME JUST. I'LL JUST POSE THE QUESTION TO SEE IF ANYBODY, I MEAN, THIS THESE ARE ALL IN THE REVERSE. OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT A VERY GEORGIAN APPEARANCE, BUT DO WE CARE? I'M OKAY WITH IT. OKAY. I MEAN, I, I WANTED TO CALL IT OUT. I WASN'T I WASN'T DEEPLY OFFENDED, BUT I WANTED TO JUST I GUESS I DO HAVE A QUESTION HERE, TOO. SORRY ABOUT THE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING THERE. OKAY. SO IF I'M READING THIS CORRECTLY, THAT MAY BE AN EIGHT FOOT DOOR, MAYBE A SIX FOOT EIGHT DOOR, BUT MORE THAN LIKELY AN EIGHT FOOT DOOR THAT WOULD PUT THE HEAD OF THOSE WINDOWS. ARE WE STEPPING UP FROM THIS TO THIS IN THE PLAN LAYOUT? BECAUSE THAT PUTS THE HEAD OF THOSE WINDOWS AT TEN AND THE SILL OF THOSE WINDOWS ABOVE FOUR FEET. I'M TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. COULD YOU. MAYBE EXPLAIN ON THAT? BECAUSE I THINK THE COMMENT ABOUT THE COMPOSITION ON THIS, I JUST AGAIN, SOMETHING THAT WE'VE SCRUTINIZED AS A BOARD IN THE PAST WOULD BE MAINTAINING COMMON HEAD HEIGHTS, TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE PROPORTIONS OF THE, OF THE WINDOWS VERSUS THE DIVIDED LIGHT CUTS. AND IT JUST STRUCK ME AS I'M LOOKING AT THESE, THESE HEAD HEIGHTS, THAT MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING THERE THAT IS EITHER EXAGGERATED OR PERHAPS INTENTIONAL. I JUST WANTED TO GET SOME EXPLANATION ON THAT, I BELIEVE THE COUNTERS ARE WHAT CAUSES THE WINDOWS TO BE UP SO HIGH, BUT I CAN DOUBLE CHECK THE PLANS WITH THE WITH THE TEAM ARCHITECT, BUT THAT'S THE THAT'S WHAT'S LOCKING THEM UP. KITCHEN BEHIND. YEAH KITCHEN COUNTER BEHIND. I BELIEVE I HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE PLANS. THAT MUST STEP DOWN. SOMETHING LOOKS A LITTLE OFF THERE. YEAH, YEAH, PARTICULARLY WITH THE RAILINGS ARE WHERE THEY ARE. YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S PRETTY 42. MIGHT MAYBE. BUT THAT LOOKS PRETTY TALL. YEAH IT WOULD. AND I ONLY BRING THAT UP BECAUSE IF THAT WAS OFFSET IT WOULD PROBABLY SMOOTH OUT THAT ELEVATION. IF IT WERE BROUGHT DOWN. UNLESS YOU'RE STEPPING UP. THAT'S RIGHT. OR OR DOWN. YEAH YEAH YEAH. WE'LL LOOK AT THAT TO, TO ADJUST IT IF POSSIBLE. OKAY. AND I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED. IS IT A LIKE A BRICK. IS IT A LITTLE PATIO THAT YOU CAN SIT? I CAN'T TELL BECAUSE THERE'S A LINE ACROSS THE DOOR. SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'M READING THERE. THAT'S A RAILING. I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT A CUTAWAY. OH, THERE IT IS. YEAH OH, SO. OH, IT'S JUST A LITTLE, I DON'T KNOW, THREE, FOUR FEET, LITTLE AREA OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR, SOME ARE DEEP. JULIET BALCONY. THERE'S A 7 OR 8 HERE, RIGHT? YEAH. IT'S OKAY. AND WHAT IS THE RAILING? IS IT. IS IT METAL? METAL? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR
[02:15:03]
BRINGING US THIS. SO WHICH BUILDING IS THIS LOOKING AT? YEAH. OH, THERE IT IS. I SEE IT ON THE 24. YEAH. RIGHT THERE ON THE SIDE IN GENERAL. OKAY SO YOU KNOW ALL THE 72 WHERE THE BACKS ARE THEY ALL FRONT HOUSES. THEY ALL HAVE A SIMILAR SITTING CONDITION WITH THE RAISED DECK.OKAY. WITH THAT PARTIAL PARKING I MIGHT JUST MAKE A SUGGESTION THAT WE ASK THAT THE REAR ELEVATIONS OF THAT SUB AREA BE REVIEWED WITH STAFF FOR CONFORMITY TO THE TO THE NEW ALBANY ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING WITH THESE COMMENTS. I THINK IT'S RESOLVABLE, BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY LOOK TO BE RESOLVED YET ON SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS, I AGREE.
I HAVE A SUB AREA 1 OR 3 SUB AREA TWO QUESTION OR COMMENT, BUT IT SOMEWHAT RELATES TO THE WAIVER. I DON'T KNOW IF I BRING IT UP NOW OR OH. NO BETTER TIME THAN THE PRESENT OR. YEAH, I MEAN I THINK WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THE WAIVERS MORE FULLY LATER, BUT JUST BECAUSE IT IS SOMEWHAT RELATED TO THE ARCHITECTURE AS WELL. SO ON PAGE 19, JUST TO SEE THAT OVERALL NORTH ELEVATION VIEW AGAIN. I GUESS I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT SO THESE ALL HAVE THE STANDARD HEIGHT ALONG CENTRAL COLLEGE HERE. AND THEN AS WE GET INTO THAT WAIVER, THIS BUILDING IS INCLUDED IN THAT WAIVER. ACTUALLY, I SHOULD MENTION WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE ELEVATION. YOU'RE SEEING A COMPRESSED ELEVATION THERE. THERE'S ACTUALLY THE SITE. SO SOME OF THOSE STEPS YOU'RE SEEING ARE PULLED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. SO THERE'S A RUN OF STEPS. AND THEN YOU COME UP TO THE HOUSE. AND I THINK SOME OF THOSE ARE ONLY TWO IN A ROW.
YEAH. SEE BUT YES THAT THAT ONE IS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE 35, I THINK THAT'S WHERE, A LOT OF FOCUS HAS BEEN WITH, DAVID TO. OKAY, HOW DO WE. DROP OFF HOW DO WE MAKE THAT FEEL? RIGHT. SO, WE'VE BEEN FLIPPING THE ROOF LINES, AND ADDING SOME ELEMENTS. YEAH. AND I APPRECIATE THE TREATMENT OF THE BUILDING. I GUESS I JUST WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE FRONT. ALL THE BUILDINGS ON THAT SIDE ARE FRONT FRONTING THE STREET, AND THEN THAT ONE ROTATED TO. THEN HAVE A HIGHER HEIGHT. AND I'M JUST I'M. I UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR THE HEIGHT WAIVER, I JUST TO ME IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE KEY PLAN EVEN HERE, IF WE ZOOM OUT THAT. I GUESS I WOULD SEE A REASON TO CONTINUE THE FRONT FRONTAGE ON THAT ROW OF BUILDINGS. BUT THIS ONE ROTATES AND THEN HAS A HIGHER HEIGHT. IT JUST SEEMS KIND OF TO NOT FIT IN WITH THE AREA FOR WAIVER C OR I GUESS AN ARGUMENT COULD BE MADE THAT IT DOES NOT, I COULD SEE THE TREATMENT BEING FRONTAL BUILDINGS HERE AND ACHIEVING THE SAME THING. I WOULD NORMALLY AGREE, BUT BECAUSE OUR COMMERCIAL STREET, OUR ENERGY IS ON THE NEW STREET, THAT'S UNNAMED. THAT'S WHY I THINK THE DOORS BELONG THERE. THERE'S MORE ADDRESSES, MORE LIFE. THAT'S WHERE THE ENERGY IS. SO WE I WOULD THINK THAT THAT HAS PRIMACY IN THIS PARTICULAR CONDITION, WHICH IS WHY THE ENTRANCES ARE ON THESE, ON THE, ON THE COMMERCIAL STREE.
AND I, I TOTALLY AGREE. I THINK IF I WAS TO PUT MYSELF AS SOMEONE LIVING THERE, WOULD I WANT TO BE ON CENTRAL COLLEGE OR WOULD I WANT TO BE FACING THE INTERIOR, SO I GUESS I JUST WANTED TO AT LEAST DRAW ATTENTION TO THAT. AND AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT, I THINK OUR STRUGGLE WITH AS WE STUDY THAT IS WHERE DOES IT STOP, BECAUSE IF WE BUILD UP THAT
[02:20:01]
ELEVATION AND BURY THE FIRST FLOOR, THEN WE HAVE TO WRAP THAT AROUND INTO THAT NEW STREET, WHICH THEN WE CAN'T REALLY MAKE UP THE GRADE FROM A PARTIALLY BURIED SECOND FLOOR TO GET TO THE STREET, WHICH THEN, BECAUSE BRIAN REMINDS ME EVERY DAY OF, LIKE, HE'S PLAYING WITH QUARTER OF INCHES ON ALL THE GRADING HERE. SO THAT ONE WAS A VERY CHALLENGING CONDITION TO WHERE DOES THAT WHERE DOES THAT PROCESS TERMINATE OR WHERE DOES THAT TRANSITION WITH WITH THE GRADING? AND AT SOME POINT WE HAD A HAD A TRANSITION SOMEWHERE WHICH SOFTENED WITH LANDSCAPING.I MEAN, THE TREES, WHATEVER. WELL I THINK THIS THIS ALSO DOES SOMEWHAT OF ACHIEVING MORE VISUAL INTEREST ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. YEAH, THAT WAS THE OTHER ONE THAT WASN'T ON MY HIT LIST. YEAH. SO, I WOULD DRAW ATTENTION TO THAT. YEAH. HE I FIRST HEARD, WELL, YOU MAY BE OVER HERE ON THE. YEAH, WE ENDED UP I VERY CONSCIOUSLY STARTED OVER HERE. FLIPPING THAT ROOF LINE TO BASICALLY HAVE THE GABLE RUN PARALLEL WITH THE STREET, BECAUSE WHEN IT WAS THE OTHER WAY, THEN IT EXAGGERATED THAT HEIGHT, BUT AS THAT STEPPING, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT TOO FAR OFF. SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS KIND OF OUR, OUR THEORY. AND NOT JUMPING TO A WAIVER ITEM. BUT, SO ALL OF OUR, THESE UNITS ON AVERAGE ARE 36FT, ON THE, ON THE FRONT, THE BACK SIDES ARE ACTUALLY 44FT. AND SO THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE SAY, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH 44FT? IT'S BECAUSE THE FRONT'S OOPS, SORRY ALL ALONG THAT FRONTAGE, THOSE ARE 36. WHEN YOU DO THE AVERAGE OF THE FOUR CORNERS PER THE REQUIREMENT, YOU END UP WITH THE AVERAGE OF 40, SO TO HAVE CONSISTENCY ACROSS ALL THE BACK, EVERYTHING MATCHED UP AT 44. AND THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHY WE SAID WE'LL FOREGO THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO 50FT, IN SUBAREA TWO IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS. AND WE SAID WE'LL FORGO, YOU KNOW, THE ABILITY TO DO 50FT ANYWHERE, SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THAT SORT OF CONTIGUOUS DOWN THE LINE, THAT 44. SO ADAM, IS THERE ANYTHING WE'LL TAKE AWAY OR. NO, WE'VE DISCUSSED IT AND WE UNDERSTAND IT FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL STANDPOINT. I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT UP. OKAY, GOOD. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE ON TWO. HERE YOU TWO ARE SUBAREA TWO. WE'VE COVERED BOTH. YES, YES. YEAH I THINK I THINK ANYTHING ON ANY PART OF SUBAREA TWO. NO. NOTHING ELSE FOR ME. I HAVE NOTHING ELSE, MOVE ON TO ALL THOSE COMMENTS. YEAH YEAH. SUB AREA THREE. SUB AREA THREE. LEAVING ASIDE FOR THE MOMENT THE WAIVER. CORRECT YEAH. I HAD. NOTHING I, I SEE THE TWO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES SHOW LANDSCAPING ELEMENT AND THIS OVERALL WEST ELEVATION. BUT I DON'T SEE THAT. REFLECTED ANYWHERE WHEN YOU GET LIKE ON PAGE 42, THERE'S, SO ON PAGE SORRY, 39, FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S THAT LANDSCAPING ELEMENT. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ATTACHED TO THESE HOUSES. YEAH. THE HARDSCAPE THERE, BUT NONE OF THAT SHOWS UP IN THE IN THESE ON THE, YES. PAGE 42. WE WOULD DEFER TO THE LANDSCAPE PLANS FOR THAT. THAT MAY BE SOMETHING IN THE MODEL THAT. SO WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPE PLANS FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO LANDSCAPE. IT MAY ALSO BE THE FAR END OF THE STREET. YEAH. LOOKING AT THE LONG TERMINATION. YEAH THE PATH. YEAH. I THINK IT JUST CONTINUES ON. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THOSE BACK THERE. NOW THAT IS THAT. YEAH OKAY. SO WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS AT THE END OF THE STREET RATHER THAN AT 605. IS THAT WHAT THE ANSWER IS? OKAY. YES. OKAY. AND JUST, SPEAK TO. WELL, YEAH. SO
[02:25:08]
THAT'S THE LANDSCAPE. IT'S A GLITCH IN THE MODEL THAT'S IN THE ISLAND. IT'S IN THE STREET.IT'S A GLITCH. TWO WINGS OF THE HOUSE. AND PART OF THE HOUSE IS. NO, I MEAN, THESE ARE. I CAN ALMOST SOMEONE WHO'S HAD TO DO. YEAH, I THINK IT'S JUST. A VESTIGE FROM THE OLD PLAN.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT. SO, NO. OKAY. THESE TWO WINGS. OKAY NO. YEAH, I LIKE IT. I THINK ONE, ONE OTHER NOTE IS I INITIALLY WE HAD, LIKE, SUBAREA FIVE. WHERE, LIKE ELY AND OTHER AREAS, WE DID NOT HAVE THE FULL DETAIL. WE WERE GIVING MORE INSPIRATION IMAGES. THAT IS MORE TRADITIONAL FOR SINGLE FAMILY, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOODS, SO THIS AREA, WHILE IT'S VERY DEVELOPED AND IT'S VERY SPECIFIC, I DID NOTE THAT EACH OF THOSE IS EACH IS GOING TO BE CUSTOM. SO THERE IS THE CHANCE THAT SOME OF THESE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AS THEY'RE BEING CUSTOM DESIGNED, CUSTOM BUILT, THERE MIGHT BE SOME, MORE MODIFICATIONS HERE THAN IN THE LIKE SUB AREA. 1 OR 2. OKAY. ALL OF THESE DUPLEXES AND THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN SUB AREA THREE IS THEY ALL HAVE CONSISTENT ROOF COLOR. YES AND BRICK AND BRICK. YEAH. WELL THERE IS SOMEBODY HAS THEIR OWN COLOR BUT WE. RIGHT.
BUT THERE'S ALL ALL OF IT LOOKS LIKE ALL OF THESE HAVE THE SAME ROOF. YES I WILL SAY THE AS YOU GET TOWARDS THE EAST END, OBVIOUSLY THE ARCHITECTURE STARTS TO CHANGE. SO ONCE WE GOT OFF 605 AND CENTRAL COLLEGE AND WE BECAME INTERNAL TO THE SITE, IT HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL FEEL AS AS YOU CAN SEE. AND SO THERE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE VARIETY ON THESE ON THESE IT'S MORE FORMAL AND MORE STRUCTURED ON THE PRIMARY ROADS. BUT THEN AS YOU GET INTERIOR, IT'S A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE VARIATION. I THINK IN ELEVATIONS ONE AND TWO, SO NOT THE ONES WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE, BUT THE ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS. BUT I, I FEEL LIKE IF YOU WERE TO SHOW THAT TO SOMEONE, THEY WOULD NEVER GUESS THAT THAT'S IN NEW ALBANY. WHEREAS ALL THE OTHER SUB AREAS, IF YOU FLASHED AN ELEVATION, SOMEONE WOULD SAY, YEP, THAT LOOKS LIKE NEW ALBANY. SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE I'M STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THIS WHOLE HAMLET AREA AND I UNDERSTAND THESE ARE DIFFERENT, BUT THE NEW ALBANY FEEL SEEMS TO HAVE DROPPED OFF WITH THESE. YEAH. NO, WE YOU KNOW, THAT'S A CHALLENGE. THE PRECEDENT IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, I THINK EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD WOULD SAY IS NOT NEW ALBANY. AND SO THE CHALLENGE WAS, HOW DO WE COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT'S HAMLET APPROPRIATE? THAT'S ALSO NEW ALBANY APPROPRIATE. AND SO I THINK WE WORKED HARD WITH YOUR CITY ARCHITECT TO GET TO A RESOLUTION THAT DID THAT, THE WAY WE REVISED THIS ELEVATION IS WE ADDED THESE, EAVE RETURNS. WE PUT, PUT A TOP ON THESE THAT MADE IT MORE FORMAL AND MORE NEW ALBANY. WE, ADDED THE DORMER ON THE TOP. WE CAN ACTUALLY ADJUST THIS EVEN FURTHER FOR THE MOST RECENT COMMENTS FROM THE CITY ARCHITECT, AND THEN WE THINNED UP THE CHIMNEY TO MAKE IT AGAIN.
ALL THESE ARE JUSTTAKE THIS TYPO THE FOLD OF WHAT? WHAT IS A NEW ALBANY BUILDING? AND I LIKE IT.
I LOVE THE DETAILS. I JUST I DON'T FEEL IT, I DON'T. DO YOU GUYS FEEL THAT. WHAT COLOR IS THE BRICK? YEAH, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WHAT'S THE BRICK? CAN YOU ZOOM IN ON THAT? THERE YOU GO, OKAY. OKAY CORNICE DETAIL. TYPICAL WORK. IS THAT DETAILED ROOFLINE TYPICAL OF GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE. THE BRICK IS DORMERS, THE BRACKETS. IT'S IT ALMOST LOOKS KIND OF, VICTORIAN NEO-VICTORIAN. YEAH IT'S I AGREE, THERE'S DEFINITELY THE, THE PITCH OF THE ROOFS SAYS VICTORIAN. OH. BELCREST. YEAH THIS IS THE FIRST BRICK WE'RE GETTING INTO. IT'S APPROPRIATE.
[02:30:03]
I THINK. I THINK THE COLOR IS GOOD. I JUST WHAT'S THE PURPOSE FOR THE BRACKETING AT THE ROOFLINE? YOU'RE RIGHT IN FOR, SLIGHTLY INFORMAL, GESTURE THAT AGAIN EVOKED THE HAMLET MYSTIQUE FROM THE STRATEGIC PLAN. I MEAN, THE BRACKETS ON THE DOOR. ENTRY TWO ARE FROM FROM THAT SAME KIND OF, GESTURING THE TIMBER WORK ON THE TWO CORNER HOUSES ALSO COME FROM THAT. ETHOS IN THE, IN THE, STRATEGIC STRATEGIC PLAN IN TERMS OF HOW THESE BUILDINGS, BECOME SLIGHTLY MORE SLIGHTLY, YOU KNOW, AS WE GO EAST, WE'RE GETTING MORE INFORMAL AS WE MOVE AWAY FROM, FROM THE FROM THE CORE, FROM THE FLATS BUILDING 43. YEAH. AND WHILE I'M DOING THAT, SOMETHING THAT I, I BELIEVE WAS IN THE STAFF REPORT, BUT IF NOT, I APOLOGIZE. SO THE, ZONING TEXT AND KIND OF GOING BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THE ZONING TEXT ALLOWS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARCHITECTURE TO BE USED. THEY DON'T HAVE TO ADHERE TO WHAT YOU WOULD FIND 100% IN THE VILLAGE CENTER. THE ENCOURAGES DIFFERENT TYPE OF ARCHITECTURE FOR YOU TO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT UNIQUENESS, THAT IS DESIRED FOR THIS AREA. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARCHITECTURE ARE ALLOWED AND ENCOURAGED IN THIS AREA. I DID READ, I DID READ THAT. AND YOU'RE RIGHT. WHICH ONE? I FEEL LIKE THE INTERIOR PART OF SUB AREA THREE. SO ACTUALLY I WANT TO YOU GO AND THEN I'LL GO, I'M CURIOUS IF SO, THIS WAS MID RENDERING DEBATE THIS AND I BUT THIS HAS A SLIGHTLY IT'S A LIGHTER TRIM COLOR AND I WONDER IF DOES THAT I MEAN, IT MAY NOT GET IT ALL THE WAY, BUT THAT MAY MAYBE GET IT A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE SPIRIT. BUT I THINK I THINK IT DEFINITELY HELPS. YEAH. AND I DON'T OBJECT TO THE DIFFERENTIATION OF FORMS. I THINK THIS IS NOT THE PAGE THAT COULD WE, COULD WE REVISIT THE PAGE THAT SHOWED THE ELEVATIONS INCLUDING THANK YOU, 39. IT MAY BE THAT THE. THIRD ROW DOWN, I'M SORRY. YEAH. SO THESE ARE MORE FORMALLY SPEAKING FROM A MASSING STANDPOINT, ARE GOING TO BE MORE FAMILIAR TO THE COMMUNITY AS FAR AS THE ARCHITECTURE THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AND HAVING THOSE ALONGSIDE THIS, WHAT I'M CALLING MORE VICTORIAN, GESTURES AND ELEMENTS IS PROBABLY ALSO CALLING YOUR ATTENTION TO IT. I, I THINK WE HAVE TO BE SORT OF COMFORTABLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE VARIETY AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED. I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE REST OF THE BOARD, BUT I, I THINK THAT THE JUXTAPOSITION IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE REAL IN A, IN A PROJECT OF THIS SCALE. SO WE SHOULD PROBABLY EVALUATE IT MORE ON THE DIFFERENTIATION THAN THE FORM ITSELF, AT LEAST I WOULD LOOK AT THIS. IT IS DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT WE'VE REVIEWED. BUT I THINK MAYBE PART OF IT IS THE, THE AMOUNT OF VARIETY IN THIS SUBSECTION. I WOULD, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND SCROLLING TO THE BOTTOM ROW, PLEASE. I WOULD POLITELY DISCOURAGE THE OVERLAPPING FORMS ON THE DUPLEXES, ON THE ROOF LINES THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF THESE IS DEFINITELY A DEPARTURE FROM ANOTHER KIND OF KEY TENANT OF THE ARCHITECTURE THAT WE'RE ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING IN NEW ALBANY, WHICH IS THE OVERLAPPING ROOF FORMS. WE DON'T TYPICALLY SEE THAT, AND WE OFTEN DISCOURAGE THAT, IT DOES TEND TO BE A MORE DRAMATIC DEPARTURE, LACK OF SYMMETRY. AND THE, THE, THE NESTING ROOF LINES ON THE, ON THE IVORY COLORED FORM WOULD TO ME BE MORE PROBLEMATIC THAN THE NOT NOT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR COMMENTS, BUT THE WHAT I SEE HERE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE FEELS THAT WAY LOOKING AT IT, BUT I JUST WANTED TO VOICE THAT CONCERN. YOU MENTIONED IT.YEAH. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. I CONCUR WITH YOUR COMMENTS, ANDREW. I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THESE SAME, BUILDINGS AS WELL. THERE'S NO ALLEY BEHIND THEM. ARE THESE GOING TO HAVE DRIVEWAYS TO THE SIDES? OKAY. THEY SHARE SHARED DRIVEWAY. THAT GOES EITHER WAY. OKAY AND CAN I JUST ASK EVEN THOUGH I GUESS A TECHNICAL QUESTION, HOW, LIKE THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN HERE AND THESE THAT ARE DUPLEXES, HOW DO THEY GET REVIEWED COMPARED TO A SUB AREA FIVE WOULD BE VERY
[02:35:08]
SIMILAR AFTER THE FDP PROCESS, WHERE IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, COMMENTS OR CONDITIONS THAT THE BOARD MAKES. THOSE WOULD BE REVIEWED AT THE TIME OF PERMITTING WITH. THE CITY ARCHITECT. AT THAT POINT.A SUB AREA THREE. THE EAST ELEVATION. ELIMINATE OVERLAPPING ROOF LINES, WHICH IS WHERE WE WERE. I'M ONLY REFERENCING TEST. THAT'S PART OF THE STANDARD BY WHICH STAFF AND CITY ARCHITECT WOULD BE EVALUATING THESE AGAINST. TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE REVIEW PROCESS, I AGAIN, I'M QUESTIONING HOW PRESCRIPTIVE YOU WANT TO BE. I'M TRYING TO AVOID THE OBVIOUS PITFALLS THAT THAT WE CAN, THAT WE CAN. SO OVERLAPPING FORMS WOULD BE A OVERLAPPING FORMS. YES. OKAY.
THAT, THAT SORRY I WANT TO I WOULD JUST DISCOURAGE THE USE OF OVERLAPPING FORMS OKAY.
DISCOURAGE OKAY. JUST NOT STRONGLY JUST DISCOURAGE DISCOURAGE OVERLAPPING FORMS. GOT IT. THANK YOU. AS THE AS THE GUY WHO'S TRYING TO TAKE NOTES. ANYTHING ELSE ON THREE. SO WHAT WERE WE ULTIMATELY DECIDE ON TH. I I AGREE WITH ANDREW. I MEAN I'M I'M IT'S A LITTLE JARRING TO ME, BUT BUT IT IT'S PERMITTED HERE AND. I THINK THE LIGHTER COLOR WILL HELP BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIGHTER COLORS IN THE SUB AREA. SO THIS WILL HELP TIE IT IN. BUT I MEAN, I HEAR YOU, IT'S A DIFFERENT STYLE. IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL WELCOMING TO ME. WE HAVE A BROAD. YES ANDREW. WHAT DID YOU SAY? COMFORTABLY UNCOMFORTABLE YES I DID, I LIKE THAT. ANYTHING ELSE ON THREE. SO THEN THAT GIVEN THAT FOUR IS KIND OF A PARK STUFF, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ON FOUR? THE SIDEWALKS ON FOUR. AS PART OF THE ON THE WAIVER. THAT'S THE WAIVER. YEAH NO WAIT FOUR. WE DIDN'T WAIT FOUR IS THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE ON FOUR PARK. YEAH. SORRY. YEAH. IS SOME OF THE PARK LAND. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CITY IS GOING TO OWN THE OTHER PARTS. THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS ARE GOING TO OWN. IS THERE A CLAUSE OF LIKE THE SOME OF THE OTHER COUNTRY CLUB NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE IN 25 OR 30 YEARS, IT COMES BACK TO THE CITY? SO NO, IT'S PERMANENTLY OKAY. WHAT WHAT WAS LIKE THERE'S A LITTLE SECTION. I FORGET WHAT NUMBER IT IS IN THE, RIGHT BY SUB AREA FIVE. THAT'S NOT PART OF THE PARK PLAN. IT'S LIKE A SMALL. RIGHT. THERE'S NO NO ONE POINTER. IS THAT RIGHT HERE? WHAT'S THE THINKING? WHY IS THIS PIECE HOMEOWNER VERSUS PARK? IT'S WHERE OUR MAILBOXES ARE. YEAH. SO WE HAVE A WE HAVE A MAILBOX, A LITTLE PAVILION AND A LITTLE KIND OF, PAUSING AREA, BASICALLY. OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE. WE JUST KIND OF RAN OUT OF RAN OUT OF ROOM. YEAH YEAH.
AND IT'S A IT'S A GATHERING PLACE. AND EVERYTHING AND. YEAH, THERE WE GO. AND THIS IS SET BACK, PER OUR ZONING A WHILE BACK, IF WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT AT THE TIME. OKAY THANK YO.
[02:40:06]
VERY LIVING AREA. IS THAT NOT JUST THAT? NO LONGER THE CASE. IT WAS. IT WAS ZONED TO ALLOW EITHER, LIKE A SINGLE FAMILY ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY OR RESIDENTIAL. THAT'S BEEN YEARS.BUT, YOU CAN. YEAH. SO WE THE I THINK WE HAD THREE OPTIONS. SENIOR LIVING, DETACHED, SINGLE FAMILY OR ATTACHED TOWNHOMES. SORRY. AND, THE MARKET SORT OF SHIFTED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS WHERE SENIOR LIVING WAS NOT THE OPTIMAL USE. TOWNHOMES. WE FELT WE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT.
AND THIS WAS JUST ADDING A NICE VARIETY. I, WE LIKE THE PLAN IS THAT, IT'S A WONDERFUL TREED AREA. AND WHILE WE CAN'T SAVE THEM ALL, IN THE PLANS, YOU'LL SEE WE'VE ACTUALLY SAVED A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER RIGHT IN HERE. SO IT'LL FEEL MATURE EARLY, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY ALL OF THIS BEING PRESERVED, IT KIND OF HAS A GREAT FEEL EARLY. AND IF IT'S NOT, IF IT HASN'T COME UP, THAT SECTION OF ROAD WILL BE PERMEABLE. PAVERS SO IT'S GOING TO, IT'S GOING TO HAVE A BRICK FEEL TO IT. AND THIS WHOLE ROAD, WILL ALSO BE PERMEABLE PAVERS AS WELL. SO IT KIND OF REINFORCES THAT MORE INTIMATE SCALE, WHICH THEN WHEN WE GET TO WAIVERS, IT ALSO RELATES TO WHERE WE'VE IDENTIFIED KIND OF NARROWER SIDEWALKS. ARE YOU REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS STEM BECAUSE THIS IS THE CITY OF COLUMBUS HERE. THAT THAT IS YES. AND YOU'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS STEM. WE OR WE WERE REQUIRED. YES. OH RIGHT. OKAY. SO, MR. CHAIRMAN, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE FOR US TO NOW ACT ON THE UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY COMMENTS RELATING TO OTHER ASPECTS OF THAT DON'T THAT ARE NOT THE WAIVER. I HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION. ALL RIGHT. THE A COUPLE DIFFERENT DRAWINGS. IT WAS CLEAR IS THE CITY GOING TO OWN THE SIDEWALK OR WOULD THAT BE PART OF THE. YEAH I THINK YEAH. YEAH I CAN SEE WHERE IT KIND OF GOES IN AND OUT OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AREAS. BUT ANYTHING THAT'S IN THE LIGHTER GREEN YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD OWN. YEAH. SO THIS WILL BE, THIS WILL BE A PUBLIC SIDEWALK. IT WON'T BE PART OF THE. CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU. SO WOULD IT WOULD. AND I GUESS I'LL ASK STAFF THIS. WOULD IT MAKE SENSE FOR US TO ACT FIRST ON ON THE PLAN ITSELF, ABSENT THE WAIVERS AND ESSENTIALLY WE ARE ACTING TO RECOMMEND OR NOT RECOMMEND, AS THE CASE MAY BE, BUT ACTUALLY TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THE REVISIONS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
AND I HAVE I HAVE TEN. SO HOPEFULLY PEOPLE CAN CAN SEE IF I'VE BEEN INACCURATE ACCURATE.
SCRIVENER IS THAT MR. CHAIRMAN, DOES THAT SOUND LIKE IT'S IN ORDER I, I AGREE WITH YOU. THAT WOULD BE IN ORDER. AND I'LL STATE AGAIN AS I'VE SEEN BEFORE, VERY NICE WORK. I MEAN, TO THE EXTENT THAT WE'VE, WE'VE QUIBBLED HERE A LITTLE BIT HOPEFULLY, AND KEPT YOU HERE LATE, IT THIS IS VERY NICE. I'M VERY EXCITED FOR IT. SO SO LET ME THEN MAKE A MOTION, IF I MAY, TO I MOVE THAT THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE, I GUESS THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. IS THAT WHAT I'M. YEAH. THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AS SUBMITTED, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING, REVISIONS OR REQUESTED REVISIONS. ONE IS THAT IN SUBAREA ONE, THE RED ROOF COLOR BE ELIMINATED. METAL ROOFS ARE OKAY, AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE THAN THREE COLORS. TWO. AND I THINK THIS ONLY APPLIES TO SUBAREA ONE THAT ALL SYNTHETIC THAT ALL THE SIDING IS SYNTHETI.
THREE FOR, IN BUILDING 26 THAT THE COLOR THE IN THE NATURE OF LITCHFIELD GRAY WITH THE TRIM SHADE BEING DARKER FOR ALSO ON BUILDING 26 THAT THERE BE A REVIEW TO ASSURE THAT THE PROPORTIONS OF THE SCALE OF THE COLUMNS IS THAT RIGHT? MR. COLUMNS. COLUMNS COLUMNS, FRIEZES AND FASCIA, SUBJECT TO STAFF REVIEW. FIVE THAT ON BUILDING 11 AND SIMILAR
[02:45:06]
BUILDINGS THAT THERE BE MORE VERTICAL VARIETY ON THE FIRST FLOOR. I THINK YOU SAID HIERARCHY. MR. HIERARCHY. THANK YOU. VERTICAL VERTICAL HIERARCHY. WHICH BUILDINGS WAS THAT? THERE'LL BE. OKAY. WHICH BUILDINGS DID YOU HAVE THAT FOR? I HAVE THAT FOR BUILDING 11 AND SIMILAR. SUBSECTION TWO. YEAH BUILDING 11 IS IN SECTION 2272, SUBAREA TWO. AND ON THE NORTH ELEVATIONS OF BUILDING 15, SOUTH ELEVATION OF BUILDING 17, EAST ELEVATION OF BUILDING 14, THAT THERE BE ADDED MORE DETAIL FOR IN ARCHITECTURAL INTEREST THAT SEVEN THAT SUBAREAS TWO AND THREE THAT THE GARAGE DOORS CONFORM TO THE PUD REQUIREMENTS. EIGHT THAT I THINK THIS STILL APPLIES TO TWO, THREE, TWO AND THREE THAT THAT THE THAT WE HOPE FOR A LIGHTNING OF THE COLORS ACROSS THE BOARD FOR MORE CONTRAST. OKAY. NINE ON THIS A NOTATION THAT AS AS WHEN WE RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS THAT WE NOTE THAT ON PAGE 29 ON THE WEST ELEVATION, THAT THE WALL SHOWN IS A VESTIGE. IT SHOWS THAT WALL THERE ACROSS THE ENTRANCE STREET INTO ZONE THREE.AND WE'VE NOW CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS NO WALL THERE. YEAH, YEAH. WHERE THE ROADS WHERE THE WHERE THE ROAD GOES. AND FINALLY IN SUBAREA THREE ON THE EAST ELEVATION THAT WE WOULD DISCOURAGE OVERLAPPING FORMS. SO WE HAVE ONE MORE WAY. YEAH. ONE MORE. ALL RIGHT. WELL THEN SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY OTHER THAN ME BETTER BETTER STATED REVIEW THE BACK ELEVATIONS OF SUBAREA NUMBER TWO. TO WITH STAFF APPROVAL. YEAH CONSISTENCY AND COMMON. COMMON HEAD HEIGHT OF WINDOWS AND DOORS. WINDOW DOORS AND ELEVATIONS. COMMON CONSISTENCY AND OR COMMON HEIGHT OF WINDOWS AND DOORS ON THAT ELEVATION. EXACTLY AS MR. MALIK STATED, I COULD NOT STATE IT BETTER THUS END OF MY MOTION. CAN I HAVE? YES, IT'S NOTES, BUT BUT YES, YOU CAN HAVE IT. I'LL SECOND THAT. MR. ITEMS. YES, YES. MR. HENSON. YES, MISS MOORE. YES MR. MALIK. YES MR. BROWN. YES MR. STROLLER. YES MR. DAVY. YES THE MOTION PASSES WITH ALL VOTES IN FAVOR, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS AS STATED BY MR. ITEM. THAT PIECE. YEAH. NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE WAIVERS. SHALL WE TURN TO THE WAIVERS? MR. HENSON, PLEASE, LET'S TURN THE WAIVERS. MR. ITE, WE WERE A, THE HAMLET ZONING TEXT SECTIONS IVC FOUR, BCC THREE, AND V IE2 TO ALLOW PUBLIC SIDEWALKS BE FOUR FEET WIDE IN SOME AREAS. TWO, THREE AND FIVE, WHERE THE TEXT REQUIRES A FIVE FOOT WIDTH. THANK YOU. SO I, I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP EARLIER WHEN I TALKED ABOUT THE PUBLIC STREET E BUT IN PUBLIC STREET BE ONE OF THE CROSS VIEW OF IT SHOWS B1 AS A SIX FOOT SIDEWALK, B2 AS A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK. AND THEN THERE'S THE INTERSECTING WAIVER FOR FOUR FOOT SIDEWALKS. AND THEY ALL COME TOGETHER THERE IN THAT CURVE. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION I, IS B1 CORRECTLY STATED? IT'S GOING TO BE A SIX FOOT SIDEWALK VERSUS A FIVE FOOT SOFTEN B2? YES. CERTAIN PORTIONS OF IT. AND THEY'D HAVE TO WEAVE IN AND OUT OF THAT. I JUST WANT TO CORRECT ME FOR MY I DON'T THINK THERE'S A FOUR FOOT WAIVER REQUEST FOR B. HOLD ON. SORRY. ON THE ONE PICTURE IT HAD A CIRCLE AROUND. SO THE CIRCLE AROUND IT. SO THIS IS PROBABLY THE OVER MARKING THE PLAN. SO FOUR FOOT SIDEWALKS ARE ALLOWED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. ON PUBLIC PROPERTY. THEY HAVE TO BE
[02:50:05]
FIVE FEET. MOST OF THAT IS PRIVATE. BUT I OVER MARKED IT IN CASE THERE ARE POINTS WHERE THE FOUR FOOT SIDEWALK CONNECTS WITH THE FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK. SO IF YOU GO BACK TO STREET SECTIONS, NO. OR EVEN THE MAP THAT SHOWS THE MY WAIVER. YEAH, THAT, SO IT'S ONLY THAT CIRCULAR PART OF THE SIDEWALK THAT'S FOUR FEET. MOST OF THAT IS IN PRIVATE. I PROBABLY OVER ILLUSTRATED IT THAT IT'S IN PUBLIC. BUT I DIDN'T THE THICKNESS OF MY LINE. I WAS JUST BEING CAUTIOUS THAT TO KIND OF LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT'S WHERE THE FOUR FOOT IS. AND IT MAY COME, COME ACROSS THE PUBLIC PROPERTY AND B1 IS SIX FOOT. LET ME GET BACK. SORRY. GIVE EVERYONE MOTION SICKNESS.YES. OKAY YEP. AND THEN B2 GOES DOWN TO FIVE FOOT WHEN IT GOES AROUND THE CIRCLE OR GOES AROUND THE TURN. OKAY. YEP THE MINIMUM IS FIVE FOOT. AND THE TEXT. YEP. FOR THE PUBLIC SIDEWALKS. YEAH, YEAH. OKAY. I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO THE FOUR FOOT. SO I WILL. ONE COMMENT JUST FOR THE BOARD'S PURPOSES, I THINK IN TERMS OF THE STAFF REPORT, THERE WAS A THERE WAS A TYPO THAT OUR THE STANDARDS THERE ON THE FOR THE WAIVERS, THE STAFF USED INCORRECTLY INCLUDED THE WORD CONSTRAINT WHICH WAS IS NOT IN FACT, IN THE PUD CONDITION. THE PUD SUCH AS SUCH LIKE OUR, OUR WAIVER STATUTE USES THE WORD CONDITION. SO WE ARE NOT WE DO NOT HAVE THE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE WORD CONSTRAINT ON ON THIS ONE. I WAS SATISFIED THAT IT WAS AN APPROPRIATE DESIGN OR PATTERN OR DEVELOPMENT. I WAS SATISFIED THAT IT MEANT THE INTENT, I CAN I THINK IT'S MY CONCLUSION.
ALTHOUGH ALTHOUGH I STRUGGLE WITH THE THIRD ONE A LOT, AS AS YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE, THE CONTEXT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE, IS SUCH THAT, THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE AND THEREFORE THAT THAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THIS IS WORKING AND, AND BECAUSE OF THE OF THE OF THE SETBACK FOR THE BUILDINGS THAT A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK REALLY WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THEREFORE, IT'S A SITE I FIND A SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION AND THAT RELIEF IS NECESSARY FOR, FOR FAIRNESS IN THIS CASE. AND THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT THIS THAT STRUCK THAT THAT SEEMED TO TROUBLE MY PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR GENERAL WELFARE CONCERNS. ONE OF THESE DAYS, WE'LL GET ONE OF THOSE. I GUESS. OKAY, SO I WAS I WAS CONTENT AS TO WAIVER REQUES, I GUESS IT'S A, A STUDY OUTSIDE BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE WHAT THE TYPICAL RESPONSE WOULD BE LIKE. YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE TWO BIKERS STAY OFF AND YOU COULD GET INVOLVED. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S. NOW LET'S HAVE MR. MALLOWS AND I GO AT EACH OTHER ON THE BIKE AND SEE WHERE. SO, I THINK I'D LIKE TO HANDLE THESE ONE AT A TIME, MR. HENSON. IS THAT ALL RIGHT? YES, PLEASE, SO I WOULD MOVE THAT THE ARB RECOMMEND TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO APPROVE, WAIVER A AND LET'S SEE, WHERE WAS THERE ANYTHING STAFF WANTED US TO DO ON THAT ONE. NO, I DON'T THINK SO, SO THUS END IS MY MOTION. SECOND. MR. ITEM YES, MR. MALITZ. YES, MISS MOORE. YES. MR. HENSON YES. MR. BROWN YES, MR. STROLLER YES. MR. DAVEY? YES. MOTION PASSES WITH ALL VOTES IN FAVOR. THE NEXT WAIVER REQUEST IS FOR WAIVER TO HAMLET ZONING. TEXT SECTION V B TO ALLOW TWO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES TO FRONTAL NEW ALBANY, CONDIT ROAD AND SUBAREA THREE, WHERE THE TEXT ALLOWS TOWNHOMES TO FRONT ONTO THIS ROADWAY. ANY DISCUSSION? I STILL STRUGGLE WITH THIS. I'M TRYING, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE BETTER TO NOT HAVE THAT ONE HOUSE AT THE PARK. I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE THERE
[02:55:03]
WITH THAT PARK IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT THEN YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE ONE HOUSE ON ONE SIDE. SO I FEEL LIKE WE KNOW HOW TO GO AHEAD. YEAH, I CAN TELL YOU. LIKE WE'VE ALREADY SAID.NO, THAT IS THE ONE THAT, BECAUSE OF THAT, THAT IS THE ONE UNIT THAT'S ALREADY THE PRICES GOING UP. I DON'T KNOW. SO THE OTHER PLACE WE'VE DONE THIS IS I WAS I DON'T KNOW IF THE BOARD EVEN REVIEWED THIS WAS BEFORE MY TIME, BUT OXFORD HAS THE SAME THING. WHEN YOU GO IN THEY PUT THEY PUT THE ONE HOUSE ON THE SIDE TO, TO MAKE ON EACH SIDE. SO YOU CAME IN WITH THE THERE'S JUST THE, THE, THE TRAIL GOES BEHIND IT AND THERE'S A STORMWATER RETENTION. AND THEN IT GOES INTO THE OXFORD PARK. SO THERE'S THAT ONE CASE WE HAVE WHERE THEY JUST HAVE THAT ONE HOUSE SITTING ON THE ONE SIDE TO MAKE IT BALANCED ON THE ENTRANCE. IT'S FRAMING THE ENTRY INTO THIS SUBSECTION. AND I, I UNDERSTAND THE TUG OF WAR. I THINK IT'S BEYOND THE CHARGE OF THIS BOARD TO SPECULATE ON THE MARKETABILITY OF IT. BUT I, I, I THINK IT'S NECESSARY FOR BALANC.
BUT I, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT FEELS LIKE AN ORPHAN ON THAT CORNER. I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT LANDSCAPING PLAY A ROLE IN THAT. IN THAT ONE PARCEL, I THINK SOME KIND OF STRUCTURED SCREENING THAT WOULD DELIBERATELY IDENTIFY THE LINE BETWEEN PARK AND RESIDENCE WOULD BE IMPORTANT AND FAIR TO ALL PARTIES. SO IF WE CAN SOMEHOW GET SOME BUY IN IN AGREEMENT ON THAT, I THINK IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD EASING OUR. YEAH THAT'S ACTUALLY IN OUR KIND OF ONGOING MEETINGS WITH MXQ AND KEITH. THAT'S BEEN OKAY. WHAT IS THE BRICK WALL DETAIL THAT'S GOING TO BE HERE AND THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PUSH AND PULL WHERE WHERE'S THE PUBLIC AND WHERE IS THE PRIVATE, SOME OF THE EARLIER RENDERINGS HAD THE PLAYGROUND FURTHER UP AND THEN THE PLAYGROUND GOT PUSHED BACK. THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE PUSH AND PULL ON KEITH'S VERSION OF THE GROVE NEXT TO THAT BUILDING VERSUS MXPX'S VERSION OF THE GROVE NEXT TO THAT BUILDING. SO THERE ARE I CAN TELL YOU, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF FOCUS ON IT AND SPECIFICALLY HOW IT FRONTS AND BACKS AND ALL THOSE PIECES. SO IT'S THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF SCRUTINY ON THE OXFORD LOCATION, DOES HAVE HEAVY LANDSCAPING BETWEEN IT AND THE HOUSE. SO IMPORTANT. I WOULD SAY IF WE CAN ASSURE THAT THAT IS GIVEN THE SCRUTINY IT DESERVES, IT WOULD RAISE MY COMFORT LEVEL. WE COULD MAKE WE CAN GIVE OUR PUT CONDITION ON OUR RECOMMENDATION. SURE. I JUST WANTED TO VOICE MY OPINION THAT TRACY, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. I IMMEDIATELY CIRCLED IT AND I SAID, IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT TO ME AT ALL, YOU HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THEN YOU HAVE A HOUSE THAT'S ON ITS OWN, AND IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE YOU'RE GIVING THIS HOUSE PRIME PARK ACCESS, AND IT'S KIND OF TURNING ITS NOSE TO THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I, I UNDERSTAND THE IDEA OF CREATING THIS PORTAL ENTRY, BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT. I DON'T KNOW, I JUST FEEL LIKE THAT COULD BE MET IN OTHER WAYS. AND IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING PUBLIC IN THAT SPOT, BUT IT'S GIVEN TO A HOME, AND I JUST WANTED TO. VOICE THAT. YEAH, I THINK CANALETTO, YOU KNOW, THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE A DUPLEX FOR THE ZONING TEXT. SO IT HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF RESIDENTIAL ON THAT CORNER. IT CAN'T BE ALL PARK. I THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO ANYTHING.
YEAH, YEAH, I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SO MANY. THE CHALLENGE IS THEY'VE THEY'VE THEY'VE GIVEN SO MUCH. YEAH. LAND TO PARK. THERE'S LIKE SAY HERE YOU NEED TO HAVE MORE RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S THE THING THAT THAT I STRUGGLE WITH. YEAH AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT STREET LINES UP. SO THAT IS, THAT'S SE. ANOTHER WAY. LIKE I PUT IT IN PUTTING IT IN MY IN ACCORDING TO THE PUD WAIVER TEXT, I THINK WE'VE GOT TWO MEMBERS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED AT LEAST RESERVATIONS ABOUT WHETHER IT IS AN APPROPRIATE DESIGN OR PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT. I'M FINE. I THINK IT'S A NICE APPLICATION FOR WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE STUCK WITH, AND I AGREE WITH THE THOUGHT OF MAYBE ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING OR SOME SCREENING TO DEFINE IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER. I I'M GOOD WITH THE APPLICATION. YEAH I LIKE HOW IT FRAMES THE, THE STREET ENTRY. AND IF YOU CAN
[03:00:08]
REALLY GET THE GRASS TO LOOK LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD BE OUTSTANDING. JUST LIKE THE, THE IVY AROUND THE, THE AMPHITHEATE, WHICH LOOKS SO GOOD IN THE PLAN. SO I GUESS FOR ME. ALL TOLD, IF GIVEN, GIVEN THE GIVEN THE CONDITION HERE OF THIS NARROW LOT THAT I THINK IT DOES, IT DOES PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE DESIGN OR PATTERN OF DEVELOPMEN, I THINK IT DOES SUBSTANTIALLY MEET THE INTENT OF THE STANDARD. THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO SEEK THE WAIVER FROM. IT DOESN'T DETRIMENTALLY AFFECT ANYTHING, AND I GUESS HERE AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THE NARROW NATURE OF THE LOT, BECAUSE OF THE SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION RELATING TO THE ENTRYWAY INTO THE SUBDIVISION THREE. AND I GUESS FINALLY, I GUESS I'LL STOP THERE. I THINK, I THINK IT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR REASONS OF FAIRNESS, TO GRANT THE WAIVER. SO I THINK I'M ON THE FOR HAVING HAVING APPRECIATED THE COMMENTS FROM MR. DAVEY AND MISS MOORE. I THINK I'M IN FAVOR OF I THINK I FIND THE ELEMENTS FOR A WAIVER HERE. MR. BALANCE, DO YOU WANT TO SAY I MEAN, I AGREE, I DON'T IT'S NOT PROBLEMATIC TO ME IF YOU WANT TO. DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THE MOTION YOU MAKE THE MOTION.OH, OH, WHICH WE'RE MOVING TO RECOMMEND RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO BE, RECOMMEND. I WOULD MOVE TO RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL OF WAIVER. BE TO ALLOW A TWO TO ALLOW TWO SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOMES TO FRONT NEW ALBANY, CONDIT ROAD AND SUBAREA THREE, WHERE THE TEXT ONLY ALLOWS TOWNHOME TO FRONT ON THIS ROADWAY. THANK YOU FOR THE AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION. OH AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION OF ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ON THE SOUTH AND EAST PROPERTY LINES OF THAT OF THE PARCEL SOUTH OF THE STREET, TO BE NAMED LATER, UNLESS THAT STREET HAS A NAME.
I'LL SECOND THAT MOTION. MR. MULLINS. YES, MR. ITEM? YES, MISS MOORE? NO MR. HINSON. YES MR. BROWN? YES MR. STROLLER? YES MR. DAVEY? NO THE MOTION PASSES WITH FIVE VOTES IN FAVOR WITH THE ADDITIONAL CONDITION THAT ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ON THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE PROPERTY LINE BE ADDED FACING THE STREET TO BE NAMED FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT VOTED NO. IF YOU WANT TO.
AGAIN, JUST CONFIRM FOR THE RECORD WHY IT WAS A NO. I JUST I THINK IT FEELS IT FEELS ODD. IT DOESN'T FEEL SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH FOR AN ENTRY AND I DON'T LIKE THAT ONE HOUSE BEING ON ITS OWN, BORDERING THE PARK. AND I DON'T FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOME ON THE SOUTH SIDE NEIGHBORING THE PARK. THANK YOU. CALL, MOVING ON TO WAIVER. SEE WHICH IS A WAIVER TO HAMLET ZONING. TEXT SECTION FIVE THREE AND NEW ALBANY, GR, SECTION FIVE TWO D1 TO ALLOW TOWNHOMES AND SUBAREA TWO TO BE 44FT TALL AND THREE AND A HALF STORIES WHERE THERE IS A MAXIMUM HEIGHT LIMITATION OF 40FT TALL AND THREE STORIES. SO ON THIS ONE, I WOULD AT LEAST I BIFURCATE THIS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S REALLY TWO ELEMENTS. THE FIRST ELEMENT IS 44FT TALL AND THE SECOND ELEMENT IS THE THREE AND A HALF STORY. BECAUSE I THINK MAYBE THERE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT THERE'S A SLIGHT IN MY VIEW, THERE'S A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ANALYTICAL APPROACH TO THEM, SO LET ME HAVING NOW RAISED THAT, LET ME I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE 44FT TALL BECAUSE AGAIN, THE ONE THAT I ALWAYS STRUGGLE WITH IS NUMBER THREE. BE NECESSARY FOR REASONS OF FAIRNESS DUE TO UNUSUAL BUILDING STRUCTURE AND SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. AND HERE THE SLOPE, THE SLOPE GOING DOWN PRESENTS TO ME THAT WE HAVE WE HAVE A SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION AND AS A
[03:05:05]
RESULT OF THAT, IT MAKES SENSE TO ME TO DO THE 44FT THAT WAY. WE HAVE EXACTLY THE LEVEL ALL THE WAY ACROSS AND I SUPPORT STAFF'S CONDITION OF APPROVAL THERE, WHICH I WON'T RESTATE BECAUSE IT'S SET FORTH IN THE IN THE THING WHERE I STRUGGLE A LITTLE BIT MORE IS, IS THE IS THE THREE AND A HALF STORIES AND I MAY BE ABLE TO GET THERE. I JUST NEED SOMEBODY TO HELP ME GET THERE. WHICH IS THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THE THREE AND A HALF STORIES THAT'S MANDATED BY SOMETHING UNUSUAL. I MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A THREE AND A HALF, THREE AND A HALF STORIES BECAUSE OF THE BECAUSE OF THE SLOPING GRADE IS THE THREE AND A HALF STORY NECESSARY TO APPROVE THE 44FT? IN OTHER WORDS, WHERE DID THE THREE AND A HALF STORIES COME FROM? I, I YEAH, I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. SO, IT REALLY WE INITIALLY DEBATED FOR SORT OF A RESIDENTIAL SCALE. DID WE WANT TO HAVE DORMERS. AND SO THAT'S KIND OF REALLY WHAT DROVE IT, THE SCALE OF THAT, AND THEN IT JUST PROGRESSED FROM WINDOWS NOW DOWN TO, REALLY A DECORATIVE VENT, WHICH WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED.SO, SO I GUESS MY THANK YOU AND I GUESS MY QUESTION, THOUGH, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT, IS, IS IT IS IT REQUIRED THAT WE ALLOW THREE AND A HALF STORIES IN OTHER WORDS, IF WE'RE ACCEPTING 44FT, IS THERE A STIPULATION FROM FROM STAFF OR FROM THE OWNERS THAT STIPULATE THAT WE HAVE TO ALSO ALLOW OR CAN WE JUST REMAIN SILENT ON IT AND ALLOW YOU TO INSTALL DORMERS? THEY'RE NOT IT'S NOT OCCUPIED SPACE ANYWAY, CORRECT? YEAH IT'S JUST RIGHT. IT'S THE PROBLEM IS STAFF'S INTERPRETATION OF THIS. AND YOU'RE SAYING STAFF AND DORMERS INTRODUCED THE HALF STORY DEFINITION. I WOULD ALSO ADD THAT OUR CITY ARCHITECT IS THE ONE THAT PUSHED THEM TO ADD DORMERS ONTO IT, BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS THE. AND I'M NOT SAYING I OPPOSE THEM, I'M JUST SAYING THAT I HAVE TO FIND ANALYTICALLY FOR ME TO BE INTELLECTUALLY HONEST, THE SLOPE DOESN'T DOESN'T PROVIDE TO ME THE UNUSUAL SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION.
SO SOMETHING ELSE HAS GOT TO DO THAT. MAYBE THE UNUSUAL CONDITION IS, IS THAT WE DISAGREE WITH STAFF'S INTERPRETATION. IN THIS CASE, IN WHICH CASE MAYBE WE MAYBE WE APPROVE IT THAT WAY. BUT IT'S JUST IT'S MORE THE ANALYTIC I MEAN, I LIKE IT. YEAH. FROM MY STANDPOINT. AND I WANT TO APPROVE IT. BUT THE SLOPE DOESN'T GET ME THERE. THAT'S THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THE SLOPE THAT MAKES ME APPROVE. THREE AND A HALF STORIES IS THE ZONING TO SAY THREE STORIES. THAT'S WHAT'S LIMITING IS. NO, IT'S THE DJI. SO I MEAN I'LL, I'LL POSE IT TO I'LL POSE IT TO YOU GUYS. WHAT WHAT IS HOW DO I GET HOW DO I FIND SOMETHING THAT'S NECESSARY BY. THAT'S NECESSARY FOR REASONS OF FAIRNESS. AND WHAT IS THE UNUSUAL BUILDING STRUCTURE OR SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION HERE THAT THAT GETS ME THERE. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT. I'M NOT SURE I CAN GIVE YOU A CLEAR ONE, BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE, I YOU KNOW, IT'S AN INTERPRETATION. IS IT A DORMER OR IS IT A, YOU KNOW, IT'S A DECORATIVE VENT, YOU KNOW, WHERE'S POTATO TOTS? I DON'T KNOW, LIKE, THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING. SO IT DOESN'T HAVE A WINDOW. IT'S NOT OCCUPIABLE. RIGHT, A CUPOLA IS ALLOWED GOING TO 50FT. IN THEORY, SO IT'S. WE COULD TREAT THIS AS AN APPEAL. AND STAFF'S INTERPRETATION. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE THE FAIRNESS TALK, RIGHT? THAT YOU'RE SEEKING FAIRNESS FROM THEIR INTERPRETATION. YEAH. THE THAT'S A DIFFERENT APPEAL. AND THAT MIGHT HAVE RAMIFICATIONS ELSEWHERE BEYOND THIS. YOU KNOW, THIS SPECIFIC, I KNOW I THINK YOU MAY HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLY UNCOMFORTABLE AGAIN, THAT IS OUR NEXT THROUGH MY T SHIRT. SO I GUESS WHAT I'LL, I SO LET ME I THINK IN THIS CASE IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS, OF THIS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, ALL SINCE I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO REALLY WORRIES ABOUT THIS, I'LL SAY THAT I DO FIND THAT THAT THE REASONS OF FAIRNESS HERE, BECAUSE OF THE OF THE INTERPRETATION OF STAFF, WHICH TO ME IN THIS CONTEXT, IT MAKES SENSE TO US TO HAVE, TO FIND THAT THE THAT THE, THE UNFAIRNESS REQUIREMENT IS MET. YOU BETTER MAKE THE MOTION. IS THAT A MOTION TO APPROVE WAIVER. YEAH. SO IN THAT CASE, I THINK WE CAN I DON'T THINK WE DON'T.
THANKFULLY WE DON'T HAVE TO. ALL RIGHT. SO LET ME MOVE LET ME MOVE ON. LET ME MOVE ON THIS ONE, IF I MAY. ALL RIGHT I MOVE THAT THE ARB RECOMMEND TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF
[03:10:04]
A WAIVER TO HAMLET ZONING TEXT FOR E THREE AND NEW ALBANY JR SECTION FIVE. TIME OF THE TWO ROMAN 2D1 TO ALLOW TOWNHOMES AND SUBAREA TWO TO BE 44FT TALL AND THREE AND A HALF STORIES WHERE THERE'S A MAXIMUM HEIGHT LIMITATION OF 40FT TALL AND THREE STORIES. BUT AS ON ON THE CONDITION THAT NO BUILDINGS ARE TO BE TALLER THAN 44FT IN SUBAREA TWO, AND APPLICANT MUST FOREGO THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP 50 FOOT TALL BUILDINGS IN THE SUBAREA WHERE IT IS OTHERWISE PERMITTED. PERIOD. I'LL SECOND.MR. ITEM YES. MR. DAVY. YES. MR. MISS MOORE. YES, MR. HENSON. YES MR. MALITZ YES. MR. BROWN YES.
MR. STROLLER, YES. THE MOTION PASSES WITH ALL VOTES IN FAVOR, ON THE CONDITION THAT NO BUILDINGS CAN BE TALLER THAN 44FT, AND THE APPLICANT FORGOES THE 50FT HEIGHT ALLOWANCE.
WAIVER D IS TO NEW ALBANY JR SECTION FIVE TO D, TWO TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT THAT RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ENTRANCES MUST BE TWO FEET ABOVE GRADE. I THINK WE DISCUSSED MOST OF THIS ALREADY SUPERFICIALLY, BUT LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMENTS. THIS WAS THE REMARK I MADE ABOUT POSITIVE SLOPE FROM THE FROM THE BUILDING TOWARD THE RIGHT OF WAY, OR NEGATIVE SLOPE, I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY. BUT, I WOULD OFFER THAT IF WE COULD INCORPORATE THAT RECOMMENDATION INTO THE WAIVER REQUEST, THAT I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF IT. IN ADDITION TO THE TWO STEPS THAT HAVE BEEN AGREED TO. CORRECT? YEAH. AND THE APPLICANT BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE STAFF TO BE NOTED. YEAH. THE TWO STEPS I AGREE WITH, BUT TWO STEPS DO NOT A DIMENSION MAKE. THEY COULD BE THREE INCH STEPS, FIVE INCH STEPS. SIX. WE WANT TO WE WANT TO STATE WHAT THEY NEED TO BE. I DON'T WANT TO PUT THAT CONSTRAINT ON THE APPLICANT BECAUSE THE SITE CONDITIONS WILL MAKE THAT ALMOST AN IMPOSSIBLE THING TO CONFORM TO, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, THAT GRADE, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF THE BEST WAY TO, TO WORD THIS THAT, THAT WE RECOMMEND THAT IN LIEU OF THE TWO FOOT REQUIREMENT THAT THE GRADE AT THE PERIMETER OR BASE OR ENTRY OF THE BUILDINGS, WHATEVER WE THINK IS THE RIGHT WORD. SLOPE AWAY FROM THE BUILDING TOWARD THE NEAREST RIGHT OF WAY, PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY TO MAINTAIN A HIGHER ELEVATION AT THE BUILDING WE'RE BUILDING MEETS GRADE VERSUS WHERE SIDEWALK MEETS GRADE. MR. RIGHT. AND I'M STRUGGLING WITH HOW YOU DO WHAT YOU DO. SO HELP ME OUT HERE. WELL, I'M JUST WRITING DOWN WHAT YOU SAY. I'M OVER HERE TRYING TO MAKE A NOTE. WELL I'M LOST WHILE WHILE MR. MALIK IS PAST MY BEDTIME, WHILE MR. MALIK THINKS ABOUT WHAT HE WANTS. REALLY WANTS TO SAY. CAN I POSE AT LEAST ONE MORE POINT HERE? WHICH IS SO IN. I'M GOING TO TAKE STAFF'S. I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF A WAIVER FOR THE FOR THE APARTMENT BUILDINGS FOR, BUT I STAFF I'M SURE REMEMBERS CORRECTLY. BUT IN THE OTHER IN THE OTHER INSTANCES WE HAD CASES WHERE WE WHERE WE KNEW AS A MATTER OF THE ZONING THAT IT WAS 55 AND THE STATED THE STATED RATIONALE HERE IS THAT IT YOU KNOW, IT'S WHAT WE WANT TO APPEAL TO THE OLDER, OLDER CROWD. AND SO THE QUESTION IS, ARE WE COMFORTABLE WAVING THIS IN A CONTEXT WHERE THERE'S NO SUCH REQUIREMENT HERE? I MEAN, THIS MAY ALL BE WILD. TEENAGERS PARTYING. AND IF WE'RE OKAY WITH THEM GETTING RID OF THE TWO FOOT, THEN THAT'S FINE. BUT YOU KNOW, WE GAVE IT PREVIOUSLY TO MY SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE, IN CASES WHERE WE KNEW IT WAS 55 AND OLDER, AND IT WAS IT WAS REQUIRED BY ZONING. YEAH. NO, NO, PLEASE SPEAK. SPEAK FOR ME. THIS IS IF YOU GO BACK TO MY PRESENTATION. SORRY TO PUSH YOU
[03:15:03]
BACK THERE. THERE IS ONE OTHER, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THE 55 AND UP, BUT THERE IS ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HAMLET PRECEDENT WHEN, WHEN YOU WE'VE RESEARCHED THE HAMLET PRECEDENTS THAT IS A MORE TYPICAL DETAIL IS IN MY PRESENTATION. YES, YES. GO BACK. WELL. RIGHT. GO BACK. SO PART OF THAT IS ALSO DRIVEN BY WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE PRECEDENT HAMLETS IN THE, YOU KNOW, OVERSEAS, LOCALLY, THEY ALSO HAVE A, YOU KNOW, A TWO STEP STYLE WITH, I GUESS, THE YOU KNOW, CHANGE IN GRADE THERE AND, AND FOR ME AT LEAST, I MEAN I'M, I'M VERY COMFORTABLE WITH I THINK THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE PATTERN, DESIGNER PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT. AND I THINK IT SUBSTANTIALLY MEETS THE INTENT OF THE STANDARD, BUT ARE WE SETTING A PRECEDENT WHERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO COME TO US GETS TO DO LESS THAN TWO FEET ABOVE GRADE? WELL, THAT'S WHY I WAS RECOMMENDING WE SLOPE THE GRADE. YEAH. I MEAN, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, WE'RE STILL TRYING TO MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOP OF WALL OR FINISHED FLOOR AND SIDEWALK. I MEAN, THAT'S BOIL IT DOWN HOWEVER WE WANT. THERE'S A THERE'S A HEIGHT ABOVE THE STREET AND A HEIGHT ABOVE THE SIDEWALK THAT, THAT TWO FOOT REQUIREMENT SEEKS TO MAINTAIN. SO I'M SIMPLY SAYING IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM TO ALLOW IT TO BE LESS, SO LONG AS THE GRADES ARE ARE MAINTAINED. WELL SAID. AND I GUESS HERE WE CAN AGAIN, SINCE I WANT TO I WANT TO CHECK ALL THESE BOXES. THE UNUSUAL SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION IS THE FACT THAT IT'S A HANDFUL AND SETBACKS ARE VERY LIMITED. SETBACKS ARE GREAT. YEAH HAVE YOU COME UP WITH BETTER WORDING? MR. WELL, THEN I'LL TRY TO WANT ME TO TRY TO REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID. WELL, YOU WERE A LITTLE CRITICAL OF MY LAST ATTEMPT, SO I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY TO SAY POSITIVE SLOP. I MOVE THAT THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDED THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO APPROVE A WAIVER TO NEW ALBANY, GR, SECTION 52D2 TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT THAT RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ENTRANCES MUST BE TWO FEET ABOVE GRADE ON THE CONDITIONS THAT THERE BE AT LEAST TWO STEPS FROM THE BUILDING TO, TO THE GRADE. CORRECT. AND THAT THE GRADE AT THE, THE GRADE AT THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING SLOPES AWAY FROM THE BUILDING TO THE NEAREST PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. WELL DONE, WELL DONE. SECOND.IS THE LAST ONE. I'M NOT RACIST. OH, YEAH. THANK YOU. THANKS MR. ITEM. YES MR. STROLLER? YES, YE, MR. HENSON. YES. MR. MALIK. YES, MR. BROWN, YES. MR. DAVID YES. THE MOTION PASSES WITH ALL VOTES IN FAVOR, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT AT LEAST THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO STEPS FROM THE BUILDING TO THE GRADE AND THAT IT SLOPES AWAY FROM THE BUILDING TO THE NEAREST PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. THANK YOU. THE FIFTH WAIVER E HAS TO THE HAMLET ZONING TEXT SECTION ROMAN NUMERAL NUMERAL THREE B2 TO ALLOW NON-RETAIL TENANT SPACES TO BE LARGER THAN 10,000FT■!S IN SIZE WITHIN SUBAREA ONE. WHAT'S THE UNUSUAL BUILDING STRUCTURE OR SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION? SO THIS ONE, HAS GARNERED A LOT OF DISCUSSION AS WE'VE GONE ALONG THROUGH THE INFORMAL REVIEWS, AND I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE WE'RE FACING A MARKET REALITY HERE. AND THE FUNDAMENTAL. LET ME GET
[03:20:01]
YOUR ANSWER, YOUR QUESTION HERE IN A MOMENT. THE FUNDAMENTAL, ISSUE IS, YOU KNOW, WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OFFICE HERE, WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO REALLY RESTRICT OURSELVES IN TERMS OF THE MARKETING. THAT'S A USE THAT'S TYPICALLY PRETTY WELCOMED, RIGHT? I THINK THAT THE UNUSUAL SITE CONDITION HERE REALLY RELATES TO THE REGULATORY SCHEME THAT WAS IN PLACE WHEN WE STARTED. WE DIDN'T HAVE WE HAD TO SORT OF DEFINE AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE EARLIER ZONING PROCESS, HOW WE WERE GOING TO MAKE THIS FEEL LIKE A HAMLET IN THE COMMERCIAL CONTEXT. AND WE HAD TO COME UP WITH A NUMBER, LIKELY PRETTY ARBITRARILY ON THE FLOOR AT SOME POINT, TO WHERE WE WERE GOING TO SAY, LOOK, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET BIG BOX RETAIL HERE. SO THE IT'S NOT A PHYSICAL SITE CONSTRAINTS OF, SO TO SPEAK, BUT IT WAS A REGULATORY CONSTRAINT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE WE'VE DONE THIS HERE. HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET THE PRODUCT THAT WAS ENVISIONED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN. AND SO WE PICKED A NUMBER. WE SORT OF ESTIMATED IT. AND WE WERE WRONG. SO WE REALLY HAVE NO OTHER, I DON'T KNOW, UNDER CODE IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER PLACES WHERE WE HAVE A LIMITATION LIKE THIS. SO, IT'S NOT A PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTIC, BUT IT'S SORT OF A REGULATORY CONSTRAINT FOR TO USE THE TERM THAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE GUESS WRONG. AND I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I STRUGGLE A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE, I MEAN, I'M LOOKING AT THIS, I MEAN, I, I MAY JUST WINK AND NOD, BUT I STRUGGLE BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS OUTSIDE WHAT THE PUD ALLOWS FOR A WAIVER. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO COUNCIL, BUT THIS IS ONE, YOU KNOW, IT ISN'T A SITE SPECIFIC. AGAIN, IT'S NOT A SITE. IT'S NOT REGULATORY CONSTRAINT. IT READS ON BUILDING. IT ISN'T A BUILDING. IT ISN'T A BUILDING CONDITION. IT ISN'T A STRUCTURE CONDITION. AND IT'S NOT A SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION. IT'S REALLY A PROBLEM WITH COUNCIL'S POLICY CHOICE WHICH WHICH WAS INFORMED PRESUMABLY BY DISCUSSIONS PREVIOUSLY. AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY GIVE ME A SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION HERE. THAT'S UNUSUAL. THAT ISN'T CORRECT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK I WORRY THAT, YOU KNOW, CAN THE ARB SECOND GUESS COUNSEL ON THAT. WELL, AND I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. YEAH, TO THAT QUESTION, I MEAN, IS IT WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY TO COUNCIL TONIGHT. SO CAN IS THE DOES THE DOES THE ARB IS THE ARB REQUIRED TO ENDORSE OR OR NOT ENDORSE THE QUESTION I MEAN, IF IT IS REALLY A POLICY QUESTION OF COUNSEL THAT THAT THAT ISN'T IT'S NOT REALLY. IS THIS AN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD QUESTION? WELL, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE A RECOMMENDATION. I MEAN, THIS IS ABOUT PROPOSED USE AND SQUARE FOOTAGE TO RECOMMEND THAT I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO IT. YEAH. I MEAN, I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED USE AND THE SCALE OF WHAT IT WOULD EXACTLY OF WHAT IT WOULD MEAN TO THE, TO THE NATURE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN COMMENT ON THE STATUTE. RIGHT. THAT'S SO YOU'RE YOU'RE RESPONSIBILITIES REVIEW THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT COME TO YOU AND YOU ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO LOOK AT THE FOUR STANDARDS THAT ARE OUTLINED WITHIN THE STAFF REPORT. AND IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO SECOND GUESS COUNCIL'S POLICY DECISIONS TO EVALUATE WHAT IS PRESENTED TO YOU BASED UPON THOSE FOUR STANDARDS. STAFF DID IT STAFF DETERMINED THAT IT FIT WITHIN THOSE STANDARDS, THE NUMBER THREE, WHICH SEEMS TO BE MR. AITKEN'S BIG ISSUE, NECESSARY FOR REASONS OF FAIRNESS DUE TO UNUSUAL BUILDING STRUCTURE OR SITE SPECIFIC CONSTRAINTS. THERE'S NO REAL DEFINITION AS TO WHAT THAT MEANS. SITE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. I MEAN, YOU GUYS HAVE DISCRETION AND LATITUDE. IT COULD BE THE FACT THAT HAMLETS ARE GENERALLY UNUSUAL WITHIN NEW ALBANY BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE HAMLET DISTRICT, AND THOSE ARE BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES THAT ARE IN NEW ALBANY. SO THERE YOU HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO EVALUATE THAT BASED UPON THOSE STANDARDS THAT ARE PRESENTED TO YOU AND THE EVIDENCE THAT'S PRESENTED, AND MAKE YOUR DECISION BASED UPON THAT RECOMMENDATION. SO IN OTHER WORDS, BASED ON THE PROPOSED USE OF THE DEVELOPMENT THAT PROVIDES US WITH THE LATITUDE TO BE DISCRETIONARY IN THIS, I WOULD SAY, SINCE YOU'RE YOU'RE READING THIS OUT OF THE OUT OF THE PUD, THOUGH, I WOULD ARGUE WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT IS BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IN CONSIDERATION OF THE STANDARDS THEY THEY SO I GUESS WHAT I WOULD SAY ON THIS ONE IS FOR ME AND I, THE BOARD IS CERTAINLY IN ITS IN ITS DISCRETION CAN GO WELL ELSEWHERE. I DON'T FIND THE UNUSUAL BUILDING STRUCTURE OR SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION AND I I'M RELUCTANT TO SAY THAT SOMEHOW THIS IS THE COUNCIL'S POLICY. CHOICE IS A CONDITION. AND SO I WOULD I WOULD TEND TO RECOMMEND THAT COUNCIL DEAL WITH THIS AND NOT US, BUT THAT'S THE BOARD CAN CERTAINLY TAKE A DIFFERENT POSITION. YEAH. I CAN'T SAY IT SUBSTANTIALLY MEETS THE INTENT OF THE STANDARD. THE[03:25:08]
FIRST TWO. YEAH. I MEAN I'M, I'M NOT I'M NOT TERRIBLY WORRIED ABOUT THE FIRST TWO. IT'S THE THIRD ONE.YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONSIDER IT. I TRIED THAT MR. COUNCILMAN. CONSIDER THIS ANYWAY. WELL, WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD SAY WE COULD RECOMMEND TO THE TO THE TO THE WE COULD RECOMMEND TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THEY WE TAKE NO POSITION ON THIS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN'T THAT THAT A WAIVER IS NOT APPROPRIATE. I, I STARTED THERE BUT THE REALITY IS THIS THAT IN ORDER FOR WE'VE TAKEN STEPS THIS EVENING TO APPROVE WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO US. SO I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF, WHETHER IT'S APPROPRIATE AS, AS A BOARD MEMBER. BUT I THINK WE DO HAVE A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED. AND IF WE WERE TO OBJECT TO THE IF WE WERE TO OBJECT TO ALLOWING SPACE, COMMERCIAL OFFICE SPACE TO EXCEED TEN ZERO ZERO ZERO SQUARE FEET, WE'RE PUTTING A LIMITATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY FORGET PROFITABILITY. IT COULD LEAD TO POTENTIAL VACANCY. BUT BUT ARE WE ARE WE BASICALLY SUPPLANTING COUNCIL'S JUDGMENT HERE BECAUSE COUNCIL HAS SAID DO IT ONLY IF THERE'S A UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL BUILDING STRUCTURE OR SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION. AND COUNCIL COUNSEL LOOKED AT THIS. I MEAN COUNCIL THE COUNCIL LOOKED AT I.
COUNCIL HAD WAS LOOKING AT SPACES WITH ONE AND TWO STORY BUILDINGS IN IN, IN THE COMMERCIAL AREA. AND BOY, I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M SECOND GUESSING I'M, I'M OVER OVERTURNING COUNCIL GENERALLY IS WHAT I'M WHAT I THINK I'M DOING. I THINK COUNCIL WILL BE OKAY WITH IT BECAUSE I THINK THEY WANT THIS TO GO FORWARD IN WHICH CASE MAYBE WHO CARES WHAT I THINK? BUT THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I COME DOWN. I'M JUST I'M RELUCTANT. I'M RELUCTANT TO STRETCH THIS PROVISION ALL THE WAY OVER TO THINGS EXTERNAL TO WHAT THIS SAYS, BUILDING STRUCTURE OR SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION. BUT AGAIN, I'M, I'M THE SITE IS THE SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ABOVE GRADE SPACE AND NOT ON GRADE SPACE BECAUSE OF THE DENSITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT, IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO ALLOW THAT CONDITION BECAUSE OF THE SITE SPECIFIC FACT THAT IT'S NOT. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE DISCOVER CAMPUS, WHERE WE'RE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OFFICE SPACE ON GRADE OR COMMERCIAL SPACE ON GRADE. I MEAN, THAT IS A UNIQUE CONDITION BECAUSE I UNLESS I'M MISTAKEN, ARE THERE ANY CONDITIONS WHERE THIS WOULD APPLY TO AN ON GRADE CONDITION? NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF. I THINK. YEAH. SO I THINK IT'S I THINK THE WHEN WE, I THINK THE KIND OF FEEDBACK WE GOT WAS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE GROUND FLOOR IS APPROPRIATE AND ACTIVE AND ENERGIZED. THAT'S WHERE WE KIND OF SAID, ALL RIGHT, 80% SEEMS RIGHT BECAUSE 20% GIVES YOU WHETHER IT'S A LOBBY OR THERE'S SOME OTHER PIECE AND IT IS IT'S THE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FOLKS THAT ARE KIND OF WAITING BECAUSE THEY DON'T REALLY WANT TO TALK TO US UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW THIS SETTLES OUT. AND IN IT'S NOT PROPOSED FOR THE GROUND FLOOR. IT WAS SORT OF A YEAH, IT WAS OUR BEST GUESS. AND, AND IT'S IT IS THE OUTCOME, BUT IT RELATES TO THE UPPER FLOOR. I THINK IT MAKES SENSE FOR US. I'M FINE WITH IT BECAUSE IF THERE IS A VACANCY UP ABOVE, IT'S UP ABOVE. THIS IS A PEDESTRIAN SCALE AREA. SO THE FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, IT'S A BUNCH OF, FACADES LIKE RETAIL SPACE OPENINGS VERSUS A BIG HOME DEPOT OR SOMETHING. SO TO ME, FROM AN ESTHETIC STANDPOINT, I THINK IT MAKES SENSE IT. BUT I WANT TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS. I ALSO FEEL IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE NUMBER ITSELF IS ARBITRARY, BECAUSE ARE WE IS IT GOING TO BE 10,500FT■!S OR 30,000FT■!S? AND I ALSO, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE OVERALL AVAILABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS. SO HOW'S THIS 10,000 NUMBER AFFECT THE OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE? YEAH. WHAT IS THE IF YOU DON'T MIND, WHAT IS THE GROSS SQUARE FOOTAGE OF SECOND FLOOR SPACE IN AREA ONE? BALLPARK, 20,000FT. THAT'S THE GROSS TOTAL OF SECOND FLOOR SPACE. TOTAL? TOTAL COMMERCIAL AREA IS 52,052. OKAY, FOR THE ENTIRE THING. AND THEN.
OKAY, ABOUT WHAT'S TOP OF MY HEAD? 18 TO 20 OF THAT IS ON THE SECOND LEVEL. SO WHAT WE'RE
[03:30:04]
SAYING IS THAT BY BY APPROVING THIS, YOU COULD CONCEIVABLY HAVE ONE TENANT. WELL NO, YOU HAVE NOW YOU'RE DRIVEN BY BUILDINGS, TWO BUILDINGS, THREE BUILDINGS. HOW MANY BUILDINGS WOULD THIS BE AFFECTING? I'M SORRY FOR ALL THESE SUB AREA. I MEAN BASICALLY IMPACTS TO TWO BUILDINGS. I MEAN THE WAY IT'S DEFINED AND THE IT'S AROUND THE SO THE, THE YEAH. SO IT'S SELF-LIMITING.YES. SO IT DOESN'T REALLY HELP US BUT IT'S I JUST FIGURED I'D THAT'S I'M INVITING THE BOARD TO PASS THIS OVER. MY OBJECTION IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. AND THAT'S I'M NOT GOING TO GET THERE IS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN'T A BIG CORPORATE BUILDING THAT'S TAKING UP GROUND.
COMPLETELY AGREE. YEAH, EXACTLY. THE ESTHETIC THAT WE WANT I WOULD SO MAKE A MOTION. SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE WAIVER E TO THE HAMLET ZONING TEXT ROMAN NUMERAL THREE B2 TO ALLOW NON-RETAIL TENANT SPACES TO BE LARGER THAN 10,000FT■!S IN SIZE WITHIN SUB AREA ONE SUBJECT TO, NON-RETAIL USES HAVE, TO HAVE A LARGER TENANT SPACE AS LONG AS 80% OF THE GROUND FLOOR MUST BE ACTIVE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR SALE OR OFFERING OF GOODS AND SERVICES. I SECOND. MR. STROLLER? YES, MISS MOORE? YES, MR. ITEM NO, ON THE GROUNDS THAT, AS STATED IN PREVIOUSLY, THAT THERE IS NO UNUSUAL BUILDING STRUCTURE OR SITE SPECIFIC CONDITION. MR. HENSON YES. MR. MALITZ YES. MR. BROWN NO. WHAT? JOHN SAID. MR. DAVY YES. THE MOTION PASSES WITH FIVE VOTES IN FAVOR AND TWO VOTES OPPOSED ON THE CONDITION, AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT.
OKAY, SO I HATE TO BRING THIS UP, BUT WE MISSED A CONDITION THAT WAS IN THE STAFF REPORT IN OUR ORIGINAL THING ABOUT THE, ADDRESSING THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS COMMENTS, CAN WE GO BACK AND ADD THAT AS A CONDITION? IS THAT POSSIBLE? WE CAN ALSO JUST MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IT IS IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AS WELL. SO WE'LL RELY ON THEM. WE'LL GET A BETTER JOB. GOOD CATCH. ALL RIGHT. THANK YO.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS HERE BEFORE THE BOARD? I APPRECIATE THE, ALL THE PRESENTATIONS AND ALL THE HARD WORK. THANK YOU. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS. YEAH. WELL DONE. THANK CAN I MAKE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE. I MOVED TO ADJOURN SECOND. STAFF WANT TO GIVE US A REPORT ON SOMETHING.
