NONE, WE GO INTO OUR CASES. OUR FIRST CASES. FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 96 2025. CAN WE HEAR FROM STAFF, PLEASE? YEAH. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSION MEMBERS. SO THIS IS A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPLICATION FOR A NEW DATA CENTER ON THE EAST SIDE OF SOUDER ROAD. SO THIS SITE IS LOCATED HERE IN THE RED EAST ON SOUDER ROAD, AND THE PROPERTY IS ZONED SOUDER ROAD OR SOUDER EAST R AND I WITHIN SUBAREAS TWO AND THREE OF THAT ZONING DISTRICT. AND AGAIN THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL USES IN AN AGRICULTURALLY ZONED PROPERTY AT THIS CORNER, NORTH EAST CORNER. SO HERE'S THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR THE DATA CENTER.SOME THINGS TO NOTE. SO THE PROPOSED BASIN, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE SITE, THE SITE IS ACCESSED BY ONE CURB CUT OFF OF SOUDER ROAD AND THE NORTHERNMOST PORTION OF THE SITE. AND THERE'S ALSO PROPOSED UNDERGROUND DETENTION, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WHICH COVERS PART OF THE PARKING LOT AS WELL. THERE'S ALSO A 22 FOOT DRIVE AISLE THAT SURROUNDS THE BUILDING AS WELL. SO HERE ARE THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLANS. I HAD TO KIND OF CUT THEM IN HALF JUST TO GET THE FULL EXTENT OF THE THE PAGE. SO HERE'S THE NORTH SECTION AND THEN HERE'S THE SOUTH SECTION. SOME THINGS TO NOTE. THE APPLICANT IS SHOWING ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING ALONG THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY AS AGREED UPON DURING THE VARIANCE HEARING BACK IN OCTOBER. SO THESE TREES PROPOSED HERE ARE ALL ON A DIFFERENT PROPERTY. AS WELL AS THESE GROUP OF TREES HERE. SO THE PROPERTY LINE IS RIGHT THERE. SO THESE ADDITIONAL TREES ARE WERE COMMITTED FROM THE APPLICANT. HERE ARE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS EAST AND WEST FACADES. YOU HAVE THE FULL PACKAGE WITH YOU. JUST TO NOTE THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING EITHER FIBER REINFORCED PANELS OR METAL METAL LOUVER SCREENING FOR THE ROOFTOP MECHANICALS AND INSULATED METAL PANELS FOR THE EQUIPMENT. YARD SCREENING, WHICH IS IN THE GREEN, AND THEN THE ROOFTOP, OF COURSE, ON THE ON THE TOP IN THE RED. SO I JUST WANT TO BRING THIS UP. THE APPLICANT HAS MADE STAFF AWARE THAT THERE'S A FUTURE PROPOSED AP EASEMENT SHOWN IN RED, THAT MAY AFFECT SOME LANDSCAPING ON THE SITE. HOWEVER, STAFF IS AWARE THAT THIS MAY AFFECT THE LANDSCAPING, OF COURSE, SO STAFF IS PROPOSING TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL CONDITION OF APPROVAL, WHICH I'LL I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS HERE IN A SECOND. WITH THAT SAID, THE PROPOSED SITE MEETS ALL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN A COMMERCIALLY USED AND ZONED AREA. THE PROPOSED BUILDING DESIGN IS SIMPLE AND COMPLEMENTARY TO OTHER DATA CENTERS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED ADDITIONAL SCREENING SOUTH OF THE SITE TO CONFORM TO THE PLANS COMMISSION'S CONDITION OF APPROVAL FROM VARIANCE 72 2025 AND THE PROPOSED ROOFTOP AND GROUND SCREENING EQUIPMENT APPEAR TO BE FULL OPACITY. SO HERE ARE THE CONDITIONS HERE. AND THEN THAT FIFTH ONE IN RED. THE APPLICANT WORKS WITH STAFF DURING THE PERMITTING STAGES TO DETERMINE PROPER LANDSCAPING ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
DUE TO THAT POTENTIAL AP EASEMENT. SO I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND SO IS THE APPLICANT. DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE NATURE OF THAT EASEMENT WOULD BE? IS THAT FOR OVERHEAD LINES OR UNDERGROUND UTILITIES. YES. OVERHEAD LINES. AND I CAN DEFER TO THE APPLICANT IF THEY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEA OF WHAT MIGHT GO THERE. OKAY. CAN WE HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT. GOOD EVENING. AARON HILL AT 8000 WALTON PARKWAY HERE IN NEW ALBANY.
ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT GOT VARIOUS REPRESENTATIVES HERE. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS, THAT WILL BE AN OVERHEAD LINE AS OUR UNDERSTANDING. AND IT'S TO CONNECT TO THE NEW SUBSTATION THAT'S GOING IN. SO REALLY NOT BEING DRIVEN BY THIS PROJECT PER SE BUT BY OTHER FACTORS. SO DO YOU HAVE THE RENDERING AVAILABLE THAT WAS PROVIDED EARLIER TODAY? A LITTLE BIT UNUSUAL FOR US TO BE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU WITH A DATA CENTER FOR SECONDARY REVIEW, AS WE WOULD CALL IT, FOR A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT LARGE DISTRICTS ALL OVER THE PLACE, BUT GENERALLY WE'RE YOU KNOW, WE'RE CONSISTENT IN OUR DESIGN WITH WHAT YOU SEE THROUGHOUT THE BUSINESS CARD IN TERMS OF
[00:10:02]
QUALITY AND TYPES OF MATERIALS. WE'VE GOT SOME. THERE WAS THIS IS THE EXISTING CONDITION LOOKING NORTHWARD FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UP INTO THE SITE, THROUGH THE STREET THERE YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THIS IS THIS IS THE THE PLANTING AND BUFFERING THAT ARE BEING SHOWN THAT WAS REQUESTED AT THE TIME OF THE VARIANCE HEARING. SO WANTED TO GIVE YOU THAT PERSPECTIVE. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THE ANIMATION THERE. OR IF YOU COULD SHOW THAT CLICK ON THAT ANIMATION. I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS YET. SO. PERSPECTIVE OF WHERE THIS IS LOCATED IN THE DISTANCE FROM THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. SO THAT'S IT I THINK OTHER THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, VERY FEW CONDITIONS HERE. WE AGREED ALL OF THEM AND HAPPY TO TAKE THE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY ENGINEERING ON THIS? NO COMMENTS FROM ENGINEERING. THANK YOU. THE REASON WHY I ASKED ABOUT THE EASEMENT WAS OVERHEAD LINES MEANS THAT YOUR PAYMENT AND EVERYTHING, THAT YOUR INGRESS AND EGRESS IS NOT THREATENED AND WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT WE WEREN'T ABOUT TO HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE YOU HAVE TO COME BACK TO US AND SAY, WE NEED A NEW CURB CUT, BECAUSE A EASEMENT JUST TOOK AWAY OUR PAVEMENT. ALL RIGHT. SO OTHER QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION. I GUESS THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS JUST STILL NO COMMENTS FROM ANY OF THE NEIGHBORS AND THE NOTHING NOTHING FROM THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS. OKAY? THEY JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, THEY ALL WOULD HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM THE CITY REGARDING THIS HEARING IN THE PREVIOUS HEARING. IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY. I HAVE A NOTE FOR STAFF ABOUT THE FIRST CONDITION UNTIL THE 27TH STREET TREES. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S JUST PERTINENT TO THE REGULAR STREET TREE STREET TREES AND NOT ANY OTHER LANDSCAPING. CORRECT? YES. OKAY. PARTICULARLY AFTER LIKE THE CONDITION DD6. AND THE REPORT TALKS ABOUT THE SCREENING THAT THEY WOULD PUT INTO THE SOUTH THAT YOU'VE JUST SHOWN US THAT THAT'S NOT COUNTED IN THE 27 STREET TREES. THERE WE GO. AND THAT SHOULD PROBABLY SAY A MINIMUM. RIGHT. BECAUSE WE'RE OKAY IF THERE'S MORE THAN 27. OKAY. YEAH. YES WE ARE. OTHER QUESTIONS. CAN YOU GO BACK TO SORRY I KNOW YOU JUST FLIP TO THE SLIDE. YOU WERE AT THE LOOKING NORTH ONE. THIS ONE HERE. NO. KEEP GOING. OH THE RENDERINGS. YEAH. LIKE SORRY.THAT ONE. WHAT? ERIN, CAN YOU REMIND ME, WHAT ARE THOSE TWO BUILDINGS? AND ARE THOSE TWO SEPARATE PROPERTIES THERE? I THINK THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS ORIENTED PROPERLY HERE. THAT'S NORTH. THAT'S THE NATIONWIDE DATA CENTER ON THE RIGHT. YEAH, I. SIGHT AND A LASER POINTER WOULD BE HANDY. I'M NICK OPENS AT 5500 NEW ALBANY ROAD. I WORK WITH THE TEAM THE CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THE PROJECT. SO JUST TO ORIENT OURSELVES A LITTLE BIT, THE TRADITIONS DRIVE. THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IS RIGHT HERE ON THE SOUTH. THIS IS ALMOST A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF THE VIEW THAT WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT. SO THIS IS AN EXISTING BUILDING, THE EXISTING DRIVE ON THE SITE FOR THE FIRST FACILITY IS RIGHT HERE. AND THEN THIS IS THE ACTUAL SITE FOR THIS FACILITY. SO THIS IS AN EXISTING VIEW. I THINK YOU MAYBE GO TO THE NEXT ONE. IT'LL SHOW PROPOSED. THERE YOU GO. SO THAT SHOWS THE PROPOSED FACILITY WITH SOME ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING BOTH ON NORTH AND SOUTH OF THAT EXISTING DRIVE AND BASIN. SO RIGHT THERE. CORRECT. THE EXISTING FACILITY IS TUCKED BACK HERE THAT'S ACCESSED OFF OF SOUDER FROM THIS EXISTING DRIVE. AND THAT'S A TOTALLY SEPARATE PROPERTY OWNER. IT IS A SEPARATE PROPERTY. IT IS OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY STAFF AND CONTROLLED UNDER A DIFFERENT ENTITY NAME FOR PLANNING PURPOSES. AND WHAT ARE THOSE TWO BUILDINGS THAT ARE THERE NOW? DO YOU KNOW THOSE TWO? THAT WOULD BE THE NAMES OF THEM OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
THEY ARE NOT OWNED OR CONTROLLED OR AND THEY'RE TOTALLY YEAH, TOTALLY SEPARATE.
OKAY. YEAH. IT'S JUST THIS IS THE THE FRONTAGE FROM NEW ALBANY ROAD. SO THIS IS THEY'RE
[00:15:02]
FURTHER BACK ON SOUDER ROAD. OKAY. AND THAT THAT'S A GREAT VIEW BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET THE VIEW TO UNDERSTAND THE, THE ADDITIONAL TREES BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE I GUESS ON THE SOUTHERN PORTION ARE ON THOSE PROPERTY, THOSE PROPERTIES. CORRECT. THEY'RE NOT ON OR THEY ARE THEY ARE ON. ALL OF THE LANDSCAPING THAT IS BEING PROPOSED IS ON THE THIS NEW PARCEL, THIS NEW STACKED DEVELOPMENT PARCEL FOR THEIR EXISTING FACILITY THAT'S TUCKED FURTHER EAST. OKAY. THE PROPERTY LINE FOR THIS NEW FACILITY IS NORTH OF THIS DRIVE, APPROXIMATELY ABOUT THIS TREE LINE. BUT THEN THE EXISTING FACILITY HAS AN ACCESS DRIVE HERE AND THEN A STORMWATER POND TO THE SOUTH OF IT THAT'S KIND OF HIDDEN BEHIND THESE TREES.BOTH OF THOSE ARE WITH THE OTHER STACKED PARCEL. SO WE'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY TREES OFF SITE OF ONE OF THE TWO PARCELS. OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE THESE TREES HERE? ARE THEY EXISTING TREES? NO, THERE'S A MIXTURE OF TREES. IF YOU COULD GO BACK TO THE SECOND ONE. SO THERE ARE A FEW SPARSE TREES AND THEN WE'RE, WE'RE PROPOSING TO KIND OF DENSIFY THAT BUFFER. SO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT THERE BUT CORRECT. YEAH. THANK YOU.
