MY NAME IS CRAIG LEWIS, 6837 EAST WALNUT STREET IN WESTERVILLE. AND I'M HERE TO COMPLAIN AGAIN ABOUT AMERICAN REGENT NOISE ON THIS LAST SATURDAY AT ABOUT 830 OR SO, WE HEARD A LOT OF NOISE COMING FROM AMERICAN REGENT. AGAIN, THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT DID HAVE A POWER OUTAGE, JUST AD BROWN OUT ABOUT THAT TIME, 8:00 OR SO, BUT IT JUST CAME AND IT WENT. BUT THIS NOISE CONTINUED AT 1130 AT NIGHT, I CALLED THE NEW ALBANY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND REPORTED THE NUISANCE NOISE AND ASKED THAT AN OFFICER BE DISPATCHED TO NORTH SOUTH ROAD SO THAT THEY COULD HEAR WHAT WE'RE HEARING WHEN THIS IS GOING ON. AND THEY DID THAT.

OFFICER KENNEDY WAS DISPATCHED, AND HE WAS ABLE TO TO VERIFY THAT THE AMOUNT OF NOISE AND WHAT WAS GOING ON AT 1130 AT NIGHT, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THERE WAS JUST A BROWNOUT AT AMERICAN REGENT, WHY THEY NEEDED TO HAVE POWER, HAVE GENERATORS RUNNING OR SOMETHING ELSE. I'M NOT SURE THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN. AND THEN I'VE ALSO GOT A PICTURE OF IF THAT IS THE CASE. AND IT WAS. A GENERATOR NOISE OF WHERE THEIR GENERATORS LOCATED AND PROBABLY WHY. THANKS, CRAIG. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL INCLUDE THIS PHOTOGRAPH IN

[00:15:03]

WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING TONIGHT. I WILL ASK CITY MANAGER STEFANOFF TO FOLLOW UP WITH STAFF AND TRY TO GET SOME ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS TO YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR COMING TONIGHT TO LET US KNOW ABOUT THAT. AND GOOD TO SEE YOU. OKAY. THANKS. THANKS. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE STILL UNDER HEARING OF VISITORS. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL REGARDING A MATTER THAT IS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA? ALL RIGHT THEN, THAT

[7. BOARD/COMMISSION REPORTS]

SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD NO MEETING, NO MEETING. BUT BUT BUT BUT HE'S HE'S OH THAT IS PART OF OUR ARBOR DAY. YES, YES. ALRIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER WILTROUT. YES. HAD FUN PLAYING IN THE IN THE WOODS WITH THE THE STUDENTS OF NEW ALBANY PLAYING LOCAL SCHOOLS. I SURE DID. THEY WERE VERY EXCITED TO PLANT SOME TREES AND LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS OF HOW A TREE GROWS. THAT'S A LOT OF FOLKS. THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS THERE TOO, WASN'T THERE? THERE WERE LOTS OF KIDS THERE. THERE'S BANDS OF 80 TO 90 EVERY HOUR, ALL DAY LONG. ALL DAY LONG. YEAH, YEAH.

THAT'S AWESOME. IN DIFFERENT SPOT NOT YEAH, I KNOW WE ARE TYPICALLY OVER IN ROSE RUN. WE WERE IN SWICKARD WOODS. WOODS, WHICH WE'VE BEEN INTENSIVELY CLEARING INVASIVE SPECIES. SO THERE'S SOME OPEN AREA NOW TO KIND OF BACKFILL WITH TREES. SO HOPEFULLY THE WOODS CONTINUES TO GROW AS A NICE FOREST OASIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL CAMPUS THERE. YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY TREMENDOUS AREA. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE UPDATE. ALL RIGHT. THAT TAKES US TO THE IDEA IMPLEMENTATION PANEL MEETING. NO MEETING. ALL RIGHT. CEMETERY RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD. OH YES. THE CRAB ONCE AGAIN COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED THE HISTORICAL MARKER APPLICATION FOR THE NEW ALBANY CEMETERY. HAVING PARTICIPATED IN THIS PROCESS THREE TIMES.

[00:20:01]

CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR US. ALL RIGHT. I WILL SAY IT'S BEEN PRETTY ENLIGHTENING HOW MANY COMMENTS I'VE HEARD, AND I'M SURE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS TOO, WITH SOME OF THE CLEARING AND CONSTRUCTION THAT'S HAPPENING FOR THE VETERANS MEMORIAL, REALLY SORT OF EXPOSING MORE VISUALLY THE FACT THAT THERE IS A HISTORIC CEMETERY BACK THERE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS THERE. SO LOOKING, LOOKING FORWARD TO INCORPORATING THE CEMETERY INTO THE MEMORIAL. IT'LL BE A LITTLE MESSY ALONG THE WAY, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST MUD. WE'LL BE

[9. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING]

APPRECIATE IT, MR. MAYOR. KIND OF FEEL LIKE I'M LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE WITH MY. I'M 16 YEARS OLD AGAIN, AND DAD'S SITTING NEXT TO ME WHILE I'M DRIVING MY CAR. TEN AND TWO, TEN AND TWO.

SECOND READING OF ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE 003 2026 AN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT THE EXPEDITED TYPE ONE ANNEXATION OF 106.4 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES FROM JERSEY TOWNSHIP, LICKING COUNTY TO THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. CITY MANAGER STEFANO, THANK YOU. SO COUNCIL HEARD THE FIRST READING OF THIS BACK IN MARCH, AND AT THE REQUEST OF THE APPLICANT, IT WAS DELAYED UNTIL THIS COUNCIL MEETING. THE FRANKLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THE ANNEXATION PETITION IN OCTOBER OF 2025. WE HAVE AN EXISTING ANNEXATION AGREEMENT WITH JERSEY TOWNSHIP. THAT AGREEMENT WAS ENTERED INTO IN JANUARY OF 2022, AND WE ALSO HAVE MULTIPLE ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS, AS IS REQUIRED BY THE LICKING COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY ENGINEER, THE FIRST OF WHICH WAS ENTERED INTO IN AUGUST OF 2021. AND THEN WE HAD SUBSEQUENT AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO IN NOVEMBER OF 22. THE BENEFIT OF THE EXPEDITED TYPE ONE ANNEXATION PROCEDURE IS THAT IT'S A IT'S A LESS TIME CONSUMING ANNEXATION PROCESS. IT ALSO ENGAGES THE THE TOWNSHIP. AND THAT'S WHY WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN ANNEXATION AGREEMENT THAT INVOLVES THE TOWNSHIP AND SPECIFIES THINGS LIKE OUR REVENUE SHARING WITH THE TOWNSHIP FOR FIRE AND EMS SERVICES. WHENEVER WE DO A TIF ON A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, WE WE SHARE REVENUE WITH THE TOWNSHIP FOR WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED FOR FIRE AND EMS SERVICES. SO IT HELPS THE TOWNSHIP AND PROVIDES FOR THE SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE TO OUR OUR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. SO WITH THAT, THIS THIS ORDINANCE HAS MET ALL OF ITS REQUIREMENTS AND IS READY FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION THIS EVENING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, JOE. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? YES, MR. UNDERHILL, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME INTERJECT. MAYOR SPALDING, GREAT TO SEE YOU. GLAD YOU'RE BACK AND DOING WELL SO QUICKLY. SO THANK YOU. SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. UNDERHILL, FOR THE RECORD. OKAY. AARON UNDERHILL. UNDERHILL, 8001 PARKWAY, NEW ALBANY. THANK YOU YOU. ON THIS ORDINANCE AND THE NEXT ONE, I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE A WE HAVE A MAP HERE, BUT THIS IS AN ASSEMBLAGE OF ALMOST TWO DOZEN PROPERTIES. AND WE HAD ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAVE DELAYED THE ANNEXATION FOR A BIT IS, IS TO WORK THROUGH SOME CONTRACTUAL MACHINATIONS, AND ONE WITH ALL OF THESE OWNERS. AND ALONG THE WAY, THERE WAS A REALIZATION AFTER WE HAD BEEN THROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION WITH THE ZONING, THAT SIGNS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN POSTED IMPROPERLY. AND SO WHILE WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE WANTING A VOTE TONIGHT THAT CAUSED US TO DELAY THE CLOSINGS ON ALL OF THESE, ALL THESE PROPERTIES, UNTIL THAT COULD GO BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND BE RECTIFIED. SO THOSE SIGNS WERE POSTED BY THE CITY AS UNDERSTANDING. AND WE MET ALL THE STATUTORY ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT. AS A RESULT, THOUGH, WE HAD TO DELAY THE CLOSINGS UNDER THESE CONTRACTS. AND ALL OF THOSE CONTRACTS WERE MOST OF THEM AT LEAST SAY THAT WE CANNOT ANNEX OUR ZONE UNTIL LINCOLN PROPERTY HAS PURCHASED THE PROPERTIES. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST BOTH ON THIS ONE AND THE ZONING

COUNCILMEMBER. YES. COUNCILMEMBER SCHULTZ. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WILTROUT. YES.

MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. SIX. YES. VOTES TO TABLE. ORDINANCE. I'M SORRY.

POSTPONED ORDINANCE 003 2026 TO THE MAY 19TH COUNCIL MEETING. OKAY, MOVING ON TO ORDINANCE.

007, 2026, AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE 106.4 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED NORTHEAST OF AND ADJACENT TO THE INTERSECTION OF JUG STREET AND CLOVER VALLEY ROAD FROM AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT AG TO LIMITED GENERAL EMPLOYMENT. LG FOR AN AREA TO BE KNOWN AS CLOVER VALLEY EAST ZONING DISTRICT, AS REQUESTED BY LINCOLN PROPERTY COMPANY.

COURTESY OF AARON HILL, ESQUIRE, UNDERHILL AND HODGE, LLC. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS YOU SAID, THIS IS A REQUEST TO REZONE TO THE LG REZONING DISTRICT KNOWN AS CLOVER VALLEY EAST. THIS IS THE SITE IN THE BUSINESS PARK AT THE INTERSECTION OF CLOVER VALLEY AND JUG STREET. THIS IS THE PROCESS FOR REZONING THIS. FIRST IT GOES TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND IT GOES TO CITY COUNCIL. THIS WAS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON APRIL 20TH, AND THIS IS THE SECOND COUNCIL READING. THIS IS SURROUNDED BY SIMILAR BUSINESS PARK ZONINGS. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE LG TO THE SOUTH AREA HERE, WHICH IS THE SAME ZONING DESIGNATION. AND WE HAVE M D GENERALLY NORTH AND WEST. THIS ZONING DISTRICT WILL ALLOW MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION, WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION, RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION, GENERAL OFFICES AND PERSONAL AND RETAIL SERVICES. IT PROHIBITS DATA CENTERS EXCEPT WHEN OPERATED AS SECONDARY, AS A SECONDARY USE TO A PERMITTED USE WHEN IT OCCUPIES NO MORE THAN 20% OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF BUILDINGS IN ZONING DISTRICT. AND WHEN IT RECEIVES CERTIFICATES OF ZONING, COMPLIANCE AND OCCUPANCY PERMITS AFTER THE PERMITTED USE.

THE SETBACKS ARE ALSO SIMILAR TO OTHER LG ZONINGS. IT HAS A 50 FOOT PAVEMENT SETBACK AND 100 FOOT BUILDING SETBACK, EXCEPT ALONG THE NORTH SIDE HERE, WHICH ABUTS THE AREA THAT IS ZONED TMD. THIS DOES MEET THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ENGAGED STRATEGIC PLAN FUTURE LAND USE OF EMPLOYMENT CENTER, INCLUDING BY USE OF HEAVY LANDSCAPE BUFFERING AND ARCHITECTURE THAT BREAKS UP LARGE FACADES. AND SIMILARLY, THE APPLICANT DOES REQUEST THE FINAL VOTE OF THIS ORDINANCE BE TABLED TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING ON MAY 19TH, BUT I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE FOR THIS. ANY QUESTIONS FROM STAFF? AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A FORMAL REQUEST IF THE APPLICANT HERE. YEAH. AARON UNDERHILL, 8000 WALTON PARKWAY, ALBANY, HERE REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT. YEAH. I THINK THE ONLY THING I'LL SAY ABOUT THIS, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO TABLE THIS ONE AS WELL, AS MENTIONED IN THE LAST ORDINANCE AND HAVE A

[00:30:04]

IT'S KIND OF A NEWER THING HERE THAT WE IT'S THE SECOND TIME THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN ZONING, WHICH RESTRICTED THAT. SO IT'S REALLY BEING GEARED MORE TOWARDS EMPLOYMENT GENERATING USES, I GUESS, BUT GOT SOME FEELERS OUT THERE. BUT YOU KNOW, AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, I'M ALWAYS SURPRISED AT HOW QUICKLY ONCE WE GET ZONING IN PLACE IN NEW ALBANY, HOW QUICKLY THE INTEREST ARISES. SO I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE SOMETHING IN THE COMING MONTHS.

OKAY. I GUESS WE'LL FOLLOW SUIT ON THE NOW OPEN TO PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC SPEAK ABOUT THE APPLICATION? HEARING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL MOVE TO POSTPONE ORDINANCE 007 2026 TO THE MAY 19TH COUNCIL MEETING. SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER CHRIS.

YES. COUNCILMEMBER. YES. COUNCILMEMBER. SCHULTZ. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. I HAVE SIX YES. VOTES TO POSTPONE ORDINANCE.

007 2026 TO THE MAY 19TH COUNCIL MEE. MOVING ON ORDINANCE 012 2026 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE 69.654 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES OF LAND GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF EAST WALNUT STREET AND BETHLEHEM ROAD. FROM ITS CURRENT ZONING OF AG AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO C F COMMUNITY FACILITIES, AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. COURTESY OF MHT MR. HENDERSON. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL, AND WELCOME BACK, MAYOR SPALDING. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS THE APPLICATION OF REZONE 69.654 ACRES FROM AG TO COMMUNITY FACILITIES WITH THE INTENT TO HAVE A COHESIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARD FOR THE ESTABLISHED PARK AND PUBLIC SERVICE AREA. SO THIS PROCESS BEGAN WITH THE RFP HEARING THE REZONING ON MARCH 19TH, AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO PLANNING COMMISSION. PLANNING COMMISSION THEN APPROVED RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON APRIL 6TH, 2026 TO CITY COUNCIL, AND THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD REVIEWED THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS ON APRIL 13TH AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL. AND TONIGHT WE ARE HEARING THE SECOND READING. SO OUTLINED IN RED ARE THE PARCELS TO BE REZONED. THE REZONING WILL ALLOW FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW POLICE TRAINING FACILITY ON THE PARCEL DOWN HERE ALONG EAST WALNUT STREET. THE COMMUNITY FIELD HOUSE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING CONSTRUCTION, AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE, AND WAS APPROVED BY THE ARB IN 2024. AND THE REZONING WILL ALSO INCLUDE EXISTING GREEN SPACE WITHIN THE PARK HERE AND HERE, AND THE USES WILL REMAIN AS THE BALL FIELDS. HERE'S THE REZONING MAP, WHICH SHOWS THE EXTENT OF THE EXISTING PARK IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE AREA. THESE ADDITIONS ARE BUILDING BLOCKS TO ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY OF THE PARK AND CITY SERVICES. THE PURPLE SHADE HERE INDICATES THE PARCELS TO BE REZONED TONIGHT, AND THE PINK SHADE INDICATES PARCELS THAT ARE ALREADY ZONED COMMUNITY FACILITIES. THE COMMUNITY FACILITY ZONING DISTRICT REQUIRES REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO ENSURE CONSISTENT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DESIGNATED AREA. THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN INCLUDES ADDITIONS TO BEVEL, BEVEL PARK AND THE PUBLIC SERVICE DEPARTMENT PROPERTIES. IT'S KIND OF SMALL, BUT WE'LL GET INTO IT. SO THERE'S THE PROPOSED RESTROOM FACILITY. AND THEN OVER HERE IS THE STORAGE FACILITY FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SO HERE'S A ZOOMED IN AERIAL OF THE POLICE TRAINING FACILITY. AND HERE'S THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR THE POLICE TRAINING FACILITY. THE FACILITY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE. THE PROPOSED FACILITY WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 9500FT■!S. THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED THE TRAINING FACILITY SITE TO HAVE A TOTAL OF 32 PARKING SPACES, AND THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE FOR THE POLICE TRAINING FACILITY IS LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BUILDING HERE AND HERE, WHICH WAS APPROVED WITH THE WAIVER BY THE ARB.

HERE'S THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN. THE CITY IS PROPOSING TO PRESERVE 26 TREES ON SITE. AS

MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. I HAVE SIX YES VOTES TO ADOPT ORDINANCE. 012 2026 ORDINANCE 013 2026 AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 1159.11 OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING CODE OF THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY CODIFIED ORDINANCES AS REQUESTED BY THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. MISS NICHOLS, IT'S THE HOT SEAT. THE HOT CORNER OVER THERE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER KISS, MAYOR SPAULDING SPAULDING AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL. AS YOU ARE AWARE, THIS CODE CHANGE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS A RESULT OF FEEDBACK FROM CITY COUNCIL. THERE WAS RECENTLY A PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION APPROVED FOR A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN EXTENSION FOR A BANK AND AT THE TIME OF THE APPROVAL, THERE WAS CONCERN REGARDING THE FACT THAT OUR CODE DOES NOT HAVE GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING COMMISSION TO USE WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO APPROVE OR DENY THE EXTENSION REQUEST. SO CITY STAFF DID SOME PEER RESEARCH AND EXAMINED HOW OTHER CENTRAL OHIO COMMUNITIES HANDLE SUCH A REQUEST. AND MUCH LIKE OUR CITY CODE, THE MAJORITY OF THEM ALSO DID NOT HAVE CODIFIED STANDARDS FOR REVIEWING EXTENSIONS. THERE WAS ONE COMMUNITY THAT DID HAVE CODIFIED STANDARDS IN ONE ZONING DISTRICT. SO THE CODE CHANGE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS BASED ON THAT RESEARCH. OUR PROPOSED CODE CHANGE DOES INCLUDE. THERE. IT IS STRUCTURED EXTENSION WITH

013 2026 SECOND. COUNCILMEMBER SCHULTZ. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DETRICK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER.

KISS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. I HAVE SIX YES VOTES TO ADOPT ORDINANCE. 013 2026 ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING

[10. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES]

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE IT IS LOCATED ALONG EAST DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD, ACROSS FROM PICKETT PLACE AND NEXT TO HAMPSTEAD HEATH. SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID REVIEW THE PROPOSED REZONING APPLICATION DURING THE MEETING ON APRIL 6TH AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL. IF COUNCIL APPROVES, THE PROJECT WILL THEN HAVE TO GO BACK TO BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION WITH A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND WE'LL HAVE TO GO TO THE PARK TRAILS AND ADVISORY BOARD FOR PARKLAND DEDICATION. OH, SORRY. AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, THE APPLICANT DID MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED ZONING TEXT AND PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO SPEAK IN MORE DETAIL TO THOSE CHANGES. BUT I'M JUST GOING TO GO OVER KIND OF THE OVERVIEW FIRST. SO AS STATED BEFORE, THIS SUBDIVISION IS PROPOSED TO HAVE 39 TOTAL LOTS. THE PARKLAND IS INTO THE NORTH, WHICH IS UP IN THIS GENERAL AREA OFF THE MAIN SORRY, THERE WILL BE ONE MAIN ENTRANCE OFF OF EAST DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD THAT IS IN LINE WITH THE ENTRANCE TO PICKETT PLACE AND THE ENTRANCE WILL LEAD INTO THE ONE PUBLIC ROAD THAT GOES AROUND SERVING ALL 39 LOTS.

THERE'S ALSO A EMERGENCY ONLY ENTRANCE THAT WILL USE GRASS PAVERS SLIGHTLY FARTHER DOWN EAST DUBLIN. GRANVILLE. THERE IS AN EXISTING LEISURE TRAIL ALONG EAST DUBLIN, GRANVILLE ROAD, AND THE APPLICANT HAS STATED THAT THEY WILL REPAIR ANY DAMAGES DONE DURING CONSTRUCTION IF THEY GET TO THAT POINT, AS WELL AS STRAIGHTEN OUT THE LITTLE BEND IN THE IN THE CURRENT LEISURE TRAIL TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT. ONCE. IF CONSTRUCTION STARTS.

THE PLANS ARE MEETING OPEN SPACE AND PARKLAND REQUIREMENTS AND HAVE STATED THAT THE OPEN SPACE WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE HOA AND PARKLAND WILL BE MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF. THE TEXT DOES CALL FOR A PLAYGROUND TO BE PROVIDED AND THERE WILL BE MORE DETAILS TO COME WITH THAT DURING THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO STATED DURING PLANNING COMMISSION THAT THEY WOULD LIKE. THEY WILL BE TALKING TO THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES TO SEE IF A TRAIL CONNECTION WOULD BE POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE PARKLAND TO KIND OF MAKE A LONGER TRAIL CONNECTION THROUGH THAT AREA. ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT THE APPLICANT DID MADE DID MAKE SENSE. THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS THE ORIENTATION OF LOTS 38 AND 39 UP HERE, SO THAT THEY ARE BACKING ONTO OPEN SPACE, AND STAFF IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THIS CHANGE AS IT CONFLICTS WITH THE ENGAGE NEW ALBANY STRATEGIC PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH STATE THE HOUSES SHOULD NOT BACK ONTO PUBLIC PARKS. IN SUMMARY, THE REZONING IS CONSISTENT WITH

[00:45:07]

HOW ARE SETBACKS? IS THAT COMPARABLE I THINK MISTER HAS A MORE DETAILED PRESENTATION ON THE SETBACKS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SUBDIVISIONS. WE DID TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THERE ARE VARIATIONS BETWEEN PICK AND PLACE AND HAMPSTEAD ON THE REQUIRED SETBACKS, BOTH FOR LOTS INTERNAL TO THE SUBDIVISION AS WELL. SETBACKS ALONG DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD. THIS PROPOSED ZONING TEXT IS MORE SIMILAR TO PICK AND PLACE ACROSS THE STREET IN TERMS OF SETBACKS. ONE LAST ONE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. HOW DOES THIS EMERGENCY EXIT WORK? AND DO WE HAVE THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE IN NEW ALBANY? THERE'S ONE ACROSS IT.

THERE ARE TWO, I BELIEVE, ACROSS THE STREET TO PICK A PLACE. VERY SIMILAR GRASS, THE GRASS THERE, PLASTIC. IT'S A COMBINATION OF PLASTIC AND SAND THAT ALLOWS FOR STRUCTURAL SUBSTANCE, FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLE TO DRIVE OVER. AND THEN THE GRASS COVERS IT OVER AND IT'S YOU DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S THERE, BUT THEY HAVE GATES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET.

OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU. SORRY. SURE. I WITH THIS. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN. AARON UNDERHILL, UNDERHILL AND HODGE, 8000 PARKWAY AND NEW ALBANY. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS EVENING. I THOUGHT AT FIRST READING IT'D BE GREAT TO GIVE YOU KIND OF THE OVERVIEW I GAVE TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ABOUT WHERE WE STARTED AND AND HOW WE PLANNED THIS, AND THEN SOME CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE AS A RESULT OF THAT MEETING WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I WOULD STILL LIKE TO START AND INTRODUCE JAY MCINTYRE, WHOSE COMPANY IS CALLED FIVE DEVELOPMENT. HE'S GOING TO BE THE, WHAT I CALL THE HORIZONTAL DEVELOPER, MUCH LIKE NICO HAS DONE OF THIS SUBDIVISION. HE HAS DONE OTHER PROJECTS, INCLUDING GLACIER IN SIMILAR VEIN WITH THE VERTICAL OR I'M SORRY, SORRY. THE HORIZONTAL DEVELOPMENT. GLACIER POINT IS ONE IN JEROME TOWNSHIP. ANOTHER ONE IS CALLED CLIFFSIDE AND LIBERTY TOWNSHIP IN SOUTHERN DELAWARE COUNTY. SO THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF OF THE VERTICAL COMPONENTS. THE LATTER PROJECT WAS SIMILAR TO THIS ONE. AND IT'S CUSTOM AND SEMI-CUSTOM HOMES. THE OTHER ONE WAS SOLD TO MORE OF A PRODUCTION BUILDER TYPE AND OR TYPES. SO, SO THE PRAIRIE HOUSE PROPERTY, WE ALL KNOW IT, DESPITE IT BEING OPERATED FOR A LONG TIME AS A RETAIL USE, IT HAS BEEN ZONED AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER AS R-2 STRAIGHT ZONING DISTRICT IN THE CITY. AND THAT ZONING DISTRICT ACTUALLY ALLOWS THE 2.1 UNITS PER ACRE THAT WE ARE REQUESTING HERE. AND I'LL GET INTO THE REASONS WHY WE BELIEVE THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO TO REZONE IT. MAINLY, IT'S BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW US TO CREATE A BETTER LOOKING NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS VARYING LOT SIZES. THE LOT SIZES ARE GOING TO VARY FROM A COUPLE JUST UNDER 60 FOOT WIDE, TO SOME THAT EXCEED 150FT IN WIDTH. SO IT'LL BE A GREAT VARIETY AMONG THE LOTS IN THE SUBDIVISION. SO TO DEVELOP UNDER THE CURRENT R-2 ZONING,

[00:50:04]

IT DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO FOLLOW THE COMMUNITY PLAN NECESSARILY. AND WE BELIEVE, AS I'LL GET INTO IN LATER SLIDES, THAT THIS PLAN DOES, IN FACT, MEET MOST OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. MAYBE NOT ALL, BUT MOST OF THE COMMUNITY PLAN AND STRATEGIC PLAN. THE PUD, AS WE ALL KNOW, ALLOWS ZONING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED, WHICH ARE PARTICULAR TO THE PROPERTY.

IT REQUIRES THE PUBLIC HEARINGS WE'RE HAVING RIGHT NOW AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IT WILL REQUIRE A SECONDARY REVIEW, WHICH THE R-2 DOESN'T. AND SO THE GOALS WERE TO CREATE AN UPSCALE NEIGHBORHOOD CONSISTENT WITH THE PERMITTED DENSITY TODAY, PROVIDING A NEIGHBORHOOD OF CUSTOM AND SEMI-CUSTOM HOMES AND ALLOW FOR VARYING LOT SIZES. I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU MOMENTARILY ON THE NEXT SLIDE, THE CHARACTER IMAGES. AND THIS IS GOING TO FEEL MUCH LIKE THE COUNTRY CLUB AREA, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THESE WILL BE A $2 MILLION ON AVERAGE PRICE POINT.

AND A LOT OF THAT'S DRIVEN BY THE LAND PRICE HERE, WHICH I THINK YOU'VE ALL SEEN THE PREVIOUS LISTINGS OF THIS. IT'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE GROUND. SO I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE A. MUCH.

HEY, AARON, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE REAL QUICK, ANDREA, THAT RIGHT THERE IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THOSE TEMPORARY EMERGENCY DRIVES. OH YEAH. DOWN THERE. YEAH. I'M SORRY. MY IT'S GOT GATES THERE, BUT. OH OKAY. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU SEE THEM OPEN, BUT THAT IS CAPTURED THERE. OKAY. I KNOW THAT VERY WELL. THESE ARE THE CHARACTER IMAGES THAT ARE THE INSPIRATION FOR THE PROJECT. WE'VE REFERENCED THEM IN THE TEXT. SO WE EXPECT A LOT OF BRICK IN HERE. GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE. AND WHILE NOT LEGALLY PART OF THE NEW ALBANY COUNTRY CLUB COMMUNITY, IT'S GOING TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE IT TO A GREAT EXTENT. COUNCIL MEMBER DEREK, YOU ASKED ABOUT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT WHAT WAS SURROUNDING US. AND YOU COULD SEE THE STAFFON THE EAST OF US. THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE CITY OF COLUMBUS, BUT A SIX UNIT PER ACRE DENSITY ALLOWED THERE. I COULDN'T TELL YOU FOR SURE WHETHER THAT WAS BUILT OUT TO ITS MAXIMUM DENSITY OR NOT, BUT THAT'S WHAT THE ZONING ALLOWS.

SAME THING WITH HAMPSTEAD TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST. WE'RE ON FOUR UNITS AN ACRE AND THEN PICK A PLACE. IT'S 2.7 AN ACRE, THE LOT SIZE. YOU CAN READ THIS AS WELL AS I CAN, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE MOST OF THOSE STANDARDS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT'S AROUND US. YOU KNOW, WE. I'LL GIVE YOU EXAMPLES LATER OF WHAT OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS I THINK THIS IS LIKE, BUT WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO FIT IN WITH OUR SURROUNDINGS. AND HERE AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THOSE HOMES AND THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE VERY NICE AND APPRECIATED NICELY. BUT IN MANY CASES, THESE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE WORTH ON AVERAGE, YOU KNOW, THREE TIMES WHAT WHAT'S AROUND US. SO THAT'S PARTIALLY A PRODUCT OF THE TIMES THAT WE'RE IN AND LAND PRICES AND CONSTRUCTION PRICES, BUT DON'T SPEAK TO THE LEVEL OF QUALITY THAT WILL MEET OR EXCEED WHAT'S AROUND IT. I DO HAVE THE COMMUNITIES RIGHT HERE, BUT I DID GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOME OTHER COMMUNITIES IN THE AREA AND ELY CROSSING IN THE RICHMOND SQUARE CASH PRODUCT.

THAT'S SORT OF MORE IN THE VILLAGE CENTER ARE VERY COMPARABLE TO WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR HERE. SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF SMALLER SETBACKS THAN MAYBE IN A IN A PRODUCTION BUILDING, BUILDING, BUILT NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT THOSE ARE COMPS, I THINK THAT YOU CAN REALLY LOOK TO, TO, TO GO TO THE LEVEL OF QUALITY AND KIND OF HOW THE SITE WILL LAY OUT AND JUST, CAN YOU GO BEFORE WE GO, PLEASE? I JUST WANT TO YOU TOUCHED ON IT, BUT I WANT TO REITERATE THAT IS WHAT'S ALLOWABLE BY CODE, NOT NECESSARILY WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS BUILT OUT TO EACH EACH OF THOSE DENSITIES, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO GO DO THE COUNTING. RIGHT? I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT DISTINCTION. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT HAMPSTEAD VILLAGE IS NOT SIX ACRES A UNIT, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN BUILT OUT AS. YEAH, YEAH. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL WAS INCLUDED IN THAT, WHETHER THAT INCLUDED ANYTHING GOING UP TO EVEN THE APARTMENTS WAY NORTH, I DON'T KNOW. SO BUT YEAH, OKAY. I JUST TO GET MORE TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S NOT FOR IT'S CERTAINLY MORE THAN TWO. I THINK, YOU KNOW. THANK YOU. I WANT TO KIND OF I THINK WE ALL ARE OVER HERE KIND OF LOOKING AT IT. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION UP THERE. IF YOU GIVE US A MINUTE. SURE. I'LL TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF. I GUESS WE COULD. I GUESS WE COULD ASK SOME QUESTIONS. WE'LL PROVIDE COUNCIL WITH COPIES OF ALL THIS INFORMATION. CAN YOU WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL ON THIS, JOE, IS WHEN WE GET A COPY OR. AARON, CAN WE GET A COPY IS IF WE COULD ALSO TAKE ALL OF THOSE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND PUT A

[00:55:05]

YEAH. VILLAGE AND THEN. YEAH. YEAH, YOU GUYS ARE ALL RIGHT. IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A HODGEPODGE NORTH OF THIS PROPERTY. THERE'S A MIXTURE OF SOME STRAIGHT ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS OF R4, I, P, D, AND THEN CLOSER TO HARLEM ROAD, WHICH WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF HAMPSTEAD IS R2. THAT'S ON HARLEM, CORRECT? YEAH. THOSE ARE BIG LOTS. AND I WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER WAS SAYING. I JUST WANT E E SURE I HEARD IT RIGHT. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS THE TEXT IN TERMS OF WHAT WAS ALLOWABLE, BUT NOT AT ALL NECESSARILY WHAT WAS ACTUALLY BUILT. IS THAT THE POINT OF WHAT I'M HEARING? OKAY, SURE, SURE. OKAY. SO I DID GET A CHANCE TO WATCH THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ON THIS ISSUE. AND I WAS STILL QUESTIONING, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE ONE DEVELOPER PURCHASING LAND IS THE INTENT TO SELL INDIVIDUAL LOTS AND LED CUSTOM HOME BUILDERS THEN BUILD FOR A CUSTOMER. OR IS ONE BUILDER GOING TO TAKE THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD? IT'S GOING TO BE MULTIPLE BUILDERS. YOU KNOW, I, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO BE HAMLET. ANDREW, ALEX, THAT SORT OF, YOU KNOW, LIKE, LIKE AN OXFORD OR THAT SORT OF A COMMUNITY WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MULTIPLE BUILDERS WILL BE THE PLAN. NOW, THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT MAYBE A BUILDER WOULDN'T BUY 2 OR 3 LOTS AND, AND MAYBE BUILD A SPEC HOME OR TWO. BUT I THINK THE INTENDED MARKET IS TO SELL MULTIPLE MULTIPLE BUILDERS. OKAY. ON THE SITE. YEAH. SO THIS WAS A PLAN APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION. AND DOWN HERE WAS REALLY WHERE WE HAD A LOT OF THE CONVERSATION WITH THE COMMISSION AND WITH THE INTERESTED NEIGHBORS. THE DETENTION POND AREA WAS A POINT OF CONCERN. THERE WAS A 14 FOOT HIGH RETAINING WALL PROPOSED. AND WE WE'VE RECTIFIED THAT SITUATION WITH A REVISED PLAN THAT WE SUBMITTED RECENTLY. SO THIS IS THE BEFORE. THIS IS THE AFTER NOW. SO WE'VE ELIMINATED THAT WALL AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE IT WITH TWO 3 TO 4 FOOT WALLS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY IS MUCH MORE APPROPRIATE IN A RESIDENTIAL CONTEXT. WE HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED THE DISTANCE HERE BETWEEN THE PERIMETER BOUNDARY LINE AND THE EDGE OF THE WATER. WE HAVE MOVED THE BASIN SOUTHWARD. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS INFORMATION. I PUT THIS SLIDE TOGETHER, BUT IT'S A 300 TO 325FT. IT'S MOVED. THIS IS IS A LITTLE ORIENTED, A LITTLE STRANGELY IT'S NORTH IS THAT WAY. WE'VE KIND OF TURNED IT ON ITS SIDE. BUT SO WE'VE MOVED THAT A GOOD DISTANCE DOWNWARD TO KIND OF CLUSTER THIS DEVELOPMENT EVEN MORE AND CREATE A LITTLE MORE GREEN SPACE. AND THEN WE'VE ELIMINATED THAT CUL DE SAC THERE. SO CERTAINLY A BENEFIT TO SOME OF THESE NEIGHBORS OVER HERE IS THAT WHERE THE TWO HOMES THAT BACK UP TO THE TO THE PUBLIC AREA. AND SO AS A RESULT, WE'VE GOT THOSE BACKING UP TO THE PUBLIC AREA. NOW, YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE FOR PURPOSES OF WHETHER WE'RE BACKING OR NOT, IT'S CONSIDERED OPEN SPACE. BUT BUT THE DETENTION BASIN DOES NOT ALLOW TO BE COUNTED TOWARDS OPEN SPACE. RIGHT. SO IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN ODD AND WE'VE COME ACROSS THIS BEFORE, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A DICHOTOMY THERE. IF WE CAN JUST GET ON THE. YEAH. SO SO THE STRATEGIC PLAN SAYS THAT

[01:00:02]

I GUESS WE CAN'T WE CAN'T COUNT THE THE DETENTION PONDS. SO THEN, SO THEN EVERYTHING WHERE DOES THE SO OPEN SPACE. THIS IS A PUBLIC ACCESS THROUGH THOSE TWO LOTS. CORRECT. TO GET TO THE PARKING THE TRAIL. RIGHT. AND THEN THAT AREA. THAT AREA. THAT'S RIGHT. AND WE DO MEET, WE DO MEET ALL OF THE PARKLAND AND OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY FEES IN LIEU OR DEVIATIONS FROM CODE. I GUESS I'M MORE JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE THE USABILITY OF THE LAND FOR THE PARK SPACE. YEAH. WHAT ARE YOU ANTICIPATING? I MEAN, I KNOW THIS IS NOT PARKS AND TRAILS AND I KNOW THIS IS ZONING, BUT I, YOU KNOW, I LOVE A PLAYGROUND. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE WORKING WITH. SO WE'RE REQUIRED BY CODE TO HAVE A PLAYGROUND. AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE, WE DID, WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED WHERE THAT'S GOING. I WOULD ANTICIPATE IT WOULD LIKELY BE IN THAT PARK LAND. WE'D HAVE TO WORK WITH THE CITY ON THAT, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE THE CITY'S LAND. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SITUATION. SO WE'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH THAT AT THE TIME OF FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. I THINK I EXPECT THIS TO BE MOSTLY A PASSIVE AREA WITH A LOT OF TREE PRESERVATION AND A TRAIL THAT WE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED TO BE MULCHED, BUT WE HAVE AGREED THAT WOULD BE ASPHALTED NOW. AND SO IT'LL BE, I THINK, LARGELY A PASSIVE PARK.

SO I DIDN'T CATCH WHERE YOU SAID THE PLAYGROUND WAS GOING TO GO. WELL, I BELIEVE IT'S MOST LIKELY PLACES HERE. I DON'T KNOW, I MEAN, I SUPPOSE IT COULD GO THERE, BUT BY THE POT IN THE POND OR. WELL I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW COURTESY OF. ANY IDEA.

OKAY. CIVIL ENGINEER. SO WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS. LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY. THE TOPOGRAPHY BACK THERE IS A STRAIGHT DROP DOWN. SO I'M NOT SURE. I MEAN, SO WHAT DID YOU SAY THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LAND IS JUST GOING STRAIGHT DOWN. IT'S LIKE A BIG HILL BECAUSE THE HOUSE IS UP THERE AND THEN IT JUST DROPS STRAIGHT DOWN. AND I'M WONDERING. SURE. YEAH, RIGHT IN THE SUGAR RUN. AND I'M WONDERING HOW WE I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THE PASSIVE PART OF IT BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE THAT I, IT WOULD BE AN ENGINEERING FEAT TO PUT SOMETHING BACK IN THERE.

IT'D BE PROBABLY COST PROHIBITIVE TO TRY TO, TO DO THAT. SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE WE WOULD PUT A PARK, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. AND I KNOW RIGHT WHERE YOU SEE. THANK YOU BUDDY.

AND I KNOW RIGHT WHERE YOU SEE THIS BEND RIGHT HERE THAT FLOODS UP TO HERE. I'VE GOT PICTURES OF THAT WHERE THIS LOT 11 AND SOME OF THIS OTHER AREA HERE, THAT WATER ACTUALLY COMES UP THAT HILL BECAUSE THIS IS A STRAIGHT HILL DOWN INTO THIS THIS AREA FROM HERE STRAIGHT DOWN. AND SO I KNOW WE PROBABLY CAN'T AND WE CAN'T DON'T WANT TO BE IN THE FLOOD ZONE, OBVIOUSLY. SO. AND I THINK, IS THIS YOUR FLOOD ZONE LINE RIGHT HERE. THAT'S RIGHT. SO THIS LINE BASICALLY RUNS ALONG THROUGH THE YARDS, ALONG THE ROAD, ALONG THE LINE THERE THROUGH HERE. THIS WOULD BE ALMOST THE ONLY SECTION THAT I THINK YOU COULD EVEN PUT A PLAYGROUND. AND I'M NOT SURE THAT'S FEASIBLE. BUT I GUESS WE CAN WAIT TO SEE THAT I DON'T IF WE WALK IT, I THINK WE WOULD SEE THAT. BUT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY HAVE. BUT AND ERIC, CAN YOU LAY OUT. I KNOW YOU'VE MODIFIED IT TO THE TWO 3 TO 4 FOOT RETAINING WALLS. WHERE WHERE ARE THOSE LOCATED NOW. OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO GO ON THE SPEAKER I'LL LET OUR ENGINEER SPEAKER AND IF YOU GIVE YOUR NAME AND AFFILIATION, PLEASE. YEAH. CURTIS ECKELBERRY, ADVANCED CIVIL DESIGN, 781 SCIENCE BOULEVARD. SO RIGHT HERE, THESE TWO, THERE'S TWO LINES RIGHT HERE THAT REPRESENT TWO DIFFERENT WALLS WITH ABOUT EIGHT FOOT BETWEEN THE WALLS.

SO YOU'LL HAVE A SLOPED GRASS AREA BETWEEN THOSE TWO WALLS. SO THE WALL SLOPED DOWN THE WALL AND THEN THE POND. AND THE WALL ON THIS. YEAH. ACROSS HERE IS WHAT DO YOU IS THAT ABOVE

[01:05:05]

OKAY. I'M JUST ALSO THINKING OF THE LOCATION OF THE PLAYGROUND. THAT FEELS A LITTLE PRECARIOUS JUST FOR FUTURE. REFERENCE. YEAH, THAT'S PART OF THE PLAYGROUND. IT'S A IT'S IT'S JUST SLIDE RIGHT INTO THAT METAL WALL OF DEATH THINGS WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP. SO I DON'T KNOW, IT'S AN ADVENTURE FEATURE. I HAVE REALLY DONE IT. AND OBVIOUSLY THAT THAT LANDSCAPING BETWEEN THE TWO WALLS, YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT LAWN GRASS THERE, RIGHT? YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT WHAT THERE. GRASS WILL ASK. I MEAN, I MEAN, YOU HAVE SOME PLANTINGS. I MEAN, IF IT'S AT GRADE AND IT'S GOING TO BE AT A SLOPE, I'M NOT SURE IT'S GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT USING POWER EQUIPMENT ANYMORE, BUT RYAN AND HIS TEAM PROBABLY ARE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT TRYING TO MOW THAT. IF IT'S IF IT'S A, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A GRADE TO THAT. SO SOME OTHER PLANTINGS ASIDE FROM JUST TURF GRASS WOULD PROBABLY BE, YEAH, MORE APPEALABLE. I WAS TRYING TO SEE IF STAFF HAD A, CREATED A VISUAL OF, OF THE WALLS AND SIDEWALK. YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE IT IN THE PRESENTATION, BUT WE CAN INCLUDE IT FOR SECOND READING. IT SHOULD BE IN THE EXHIBIT THOUGH. OH YEAH. ATTACH THE LEGISLATION THAT IS. I'VE GOT IT. IT'S ALL THE WAY AT THE BOTTOM, THE AT THE BOTTOM, SECOND PAGE, FROM THE SECOND TO LAST PAGE. RIGHT. KEEP GOING ALL THE WAY. YES. SORRY. IT'S RIGHT THERE. SECOND, SECOND TO LAST PAGE. RIGHT. SO GOT THE HOUSES IN THE BACK AND THEN THE WALL AND THEN THE LITTLE FOUNTAIN LOOKS LIKE THIS. NICE.

SO I MEAN THAT LOOKS LIKE MORE THAN 3 OR 4FT. IS THAT. THAT'S WHAT WE GOT RIGHT THERE. IS THAT, IS THAT THE ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? IS THAT FOUR FEET. WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? OKAY. YEAH. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SITE. THAT'S IT. SO ELEVATION VISUAL. SO PEOPLE ACROSS SUGAR RUN. THIS IS WHAT THEY WOULD SEE BASICALLY. THEY WANT TO SEE THIS THIS WALL HERE.

AND FOR PEOPLE WATCHING THAT'S PAGE 50 OUT OF 65. THAT'S WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. SO I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE MOVE WHERE YOU MOVED THE RETENTION POND IS A DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT OF WHERE IT STARTED. SO I'LL SAY THAT. HOWEVER, IS THERE ANY WAY AND I KNOW I MENTIONED THIS AT PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT IS THERE ANY WAY TO PUT THIS UP INTO THAT SOUTHWEST CORNER? I KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT A COUPLE HOMES THERE AND YOU'VE GOT THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE. WELL, I ACTUALLY WOU GO SOUTHWEST, SO RIGHT IN THERE. YEAH. AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY. AND THEN YOU CAN TELL ME YOUR THINKING AND REASONING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THIS PLAN IS THAT TECHNICALLY IT'S A IT'S OVER FOR THE DENSITY BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY BUILDING ON NINE ACRES, NOT THE FULL 18. SO IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE 4.3. AND I KNOW THIS WILL HURT BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE SOME HOUSES, BUT I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN MAYBE PUT MORE BACK DOWN TO WHERE YOU HAVE THE PROPOSED RETENTION, BECAUSE I HAVE A CONCERN WITH THOSE HOUSES UP THERE THAT COME UP TO THAT 40 FOOT EASEMENT THAT WE HAVE UP THERE, TEN FOOT TREE PRESERVATION, 30 FOOT EASEMENT, UTILITY EASEMENT. AND I'M JUST WORRIED. I JUST HAD THE LINKS COME WITH THEIR, YOU KNOW, THEIR VARIANCE REQUEST TO THE BZA JUST AGAIN, AND THAT HAPPENS A LOT. AND I KNOW THOSE HOUSES PROBABLY BACK ON THE BACK WILL HAVE SIMILAR THINGS AND THE BUILDERS WILL BE GONE.

AND, AND WE'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE VARIANCES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED FOR POOLS AND PATIOS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. SO I'M WONDERING IF WE COULD MAYBE BYPASS A LITTLE BIT OF THAT AND MAYBE PUT THAT UP TO THAT TOP WHERE WE ALREADY KNOW THERE'S FLOODING THAT GOES ON

[01:10:04]

BUT I MEAN, THE MOST OF THIS AREA DRAINS THIS WAY. AND I KNOW WE HAVE A SMALL POCKET OF WATER THAT DRAINS THAT GETS TRAPPED BACK HERE. BUT NATURALLY IT DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO DRAIN ALL IT DOESN'T WANT TO DRAIN THIS WAY WANTS TO DRAIN BACK THAT WAY. WELL, I THINK TRADITIONALLY WE'VE I KNOW PICKETT PLACE. I FEEL LIKE OUR UNDERGROUND WATER IS DRAINING SOUTH. RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS SEEN IN IN THE PAST. IT KIND OF RUNS BACK THERE. IT RUNS UNDER PRAIRIE AND IT GOES THAT WAY. SO THE SURFACE MIGHT BE GOING THAT. BUT I THINK UNDER WATER WE'VE GOT THAT. BUT IN ANY EVENT, IS THAT WHY YOU'RE KIND OF RULING THAT OUT. BECAUSE YOU WANT THE WATER TO DRAIN THIS WAY. YEAH. BECAUSE THIS IS OUR OUTLET FOR THE DETENTION BASIN. OKAY. OF THE VARIANCES THAT CAME UP AT PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND THEY DID. WE AGREED TO A CONDITION THAT SAID WE WOULD FIRST OF ALL, WE STAYED IN THE TEXT, THAT THOSE SORTS OF VARIANCES WILL BE STRONGLY DISCOURAGED AND GENERALLY WON'T BE SUPPORTED. AND THEN SEC EITHER ON THE PLATTER AND A DEED RESTRICTION, WE'RE GOING TO BE REQUIRED ON THOSE LOTS TO POINT OUT THE FACT THAT THAT THAT REQUIREMENT IS THERE AND THAT, YOU KNOW, SO NOT THAT EVERYBODY WAS LOOKS AT THEIR TITLE WORK AND ALL OF THAT, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO RUB THEIR NOSES IN AS MUCH AS WE CAN. SO LONG. 161 HERE IS BROWN AREA I ASSUME IS SETBACK GREEN SPACE. WHERE IS THE EXISTING WHITE FENCING? SO I CAN GET SOME REFERENCE POINT AS TO HOW CLOSE THOSE HOMES ARE TO 161. BECAUSE WE HAVE, AGAIN, AS I THINK MATT CASEY SAID, WE HAVE A SETBACK ACROSS THE STREET WITH GREEN SPACE. I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH THERE. SO WHERE WHERE IS THE WHITE FENCE RELATIVE TO, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE WE COULD PULL UP AN AERIAL HERE IN A SECOND. A COUPLE OF THINGS. COUNCIL MEMBER DURING ONE, WE'RE MAKING A COMMITMENT AT THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO DO THE SAME LANDSCAPING THAT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PICKETT PLACE. SO IT'LL BE SIMILAR NUMBER OF PLANTINGS. THAT'S PRETTY DENSE. A LOT OF THOSE ARE A LOT, BUT SOME OF THOSE HOMES DO BACK BACK TO THE STREET. THERE IS SOME THERE IS A HOME TO THE EAST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT THAT IS AS CLOSE AS 50FT TO THE RIGHT OF WAY PART OF IT. SO THERE IS SOME PRECEDENT FOR THAT DOWN THE STREET. BUT IN TERMS OF THE FENCE, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WHERE IT IS. AND MAYBE CHRIS CAN PULL THAT UP. THE HOMES ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT ARE COLUMBUS HAVE BEEN THERE A LONG TIME. I'M TALKING ABOUT NEW AND WHAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO. YOU CAN MAKE DECISIONS ON THAT. THEY WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LOOK ALONG 161. IT'S A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE INTO THE CITY. SO JUST TRYING TO APPRECIATE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S ONE THING TO LOOK AT A DRAWING, IT'S ANOTHER TO APPRECIATE DISTANCE WHEN YOU'RE STANDING THERE. SO I JUST NEED SOME REFERENCE POINT. I THINK THE ONE THAT I THINK IT HAD THE OUTLINES OF HOUSES THAT ARE IN PICKETT PLACE, ONE OF THE EARLIER SLIDES, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK A COUPLE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN ON PAGE 49 OR 46 OF THE LEGISLATIVE REPORT, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE OUTLINES OF THE HOUSES ON THERE. MIKE, I GOT YOU. YEAH, YEAH. PAGE 46, HAMPSTEAD HEATH. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A, THERE'S A, THERE'S A LOT OF SOCCER AND FIRE TRUCK SPRAYING THAT GOES ON IN THAT GREEN SPACE. YEAH. AND THERE WON'T BE ANY IN THIS NEW PROPOSAL. RIGHT. AND SO THIS IS THE ONE I WAS REFERENCING BEFORE. IT'S ABOUT 50FT. JUST TRYING TO APPRECIATE WHAT THAT IS. I'M JUST LOOKING AT A VACANT SPOT WHERE PRAIRIE HOUSE IS. CAN WE DO YOU HAVE AN AERIAL ON THIS DECK OR SHOULD WE GO BACK TO OUR DECK? DO YOU

[01:15:04]

IS THERE ENOUGH ROOM FOR STREET PARKING? IS THERE A PLAN TO ALLOW STREET PARKING TO THE ROADS? NOT ON THE ONE WAY, BUT ON THE TWO WAY BECAUSE TWO WAYS A STANDARD CITY WIDTH. IT'S A STANDARD CITY WIDTH. IS WINDSOR A STANDARD CITY WITH NOT AN ALLEY? NO, NO, NO. THE STREETS.

I WAS GOING TO SAY WE HAVE 36. THE REASON I'M ASKING IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT I LIVE IN.

EVERYBODY THAT'S PARKED ON THE STREET, WE'RE ALWAYS HAVING TO STOP AND WAIT FOR CARS TO GO BY AND BACK UP, OUT OF THE WAY WHEN CARS ARE GOING BY. AND I'M WONDERING IF WE'RE CREATING THAT RIGHT HERE. WHAT'S THE WIDTH OF WINDSOR'S STREETS? DO WE KNOW OFFHAND? THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING. IF THIS MEASURE, I CAN MEASURE IT REALLY A SIMILAR THING BECAUSE OF THE LOOP. IT JUST. AND DO WE HAVE SIDEWALKS IN HERE ON BOTH SIDES? HOW DOES THAT. HOW DO YOU HAVE A ONE WAY IN THERE? I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THAT ONE WAY. WHAT'S THE POINT OF THAT? ORIGINALLY WE HAD THE MAILBOX CEBU IN THAT AREA AND WAS HAD JUST CIRCULATION AROUND THAT.

BUT WE'VE SINCE MOVED THE SEABUS AND THE, THE DEVELOPER KIND OF LIKED THAT. JUST LOOK.

SO WHERE ARE THOSE GOING TO BE WHERE THE MAILBOX IS GOING TO BE UP IN THAT? YEAH. RIGHT THERE. I'M SORRY. SHOW ME AGAIN. OH, OKAY. SO THAT'S MAILBOXES WILL BE SO PEOPLE PUT WOULD PULL OVER OVER THERE. IS THAT THEN A ONE WAY LITTLE LOOP AROUND RIGHT THERE IT IS. IT CAN BE IT COULD BE TOO LATE. THAT'S AN ACCESS ROAD. SO. WELL THE YEAH, THE EMERGENCY ACCESS IS THERE TO THE LEFT. YEA THAT'S THE EMERGENCY. BUT THE LITTLE LOOP AROUND TO GET TO THE MAILBOXES. IS THERE ANY. OKAY, SO YOU GOT TO MAKE SURE NOBODY'S PARKING ON THAT EMERGENCY ACCESS WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO GO GET MAIL. RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT THERE. RIGHT. SO YOU SO YOU'VE LEFT THE OTHER ONE JUST REALLY AS AN ESTHETICS THING THAT THE DEVELOPER ENDED UP LIKING IT, BUT IT'S ONE WAY SPACE. OKAY. I MEAN, I MIGHT USE IT FOR GREEN SPACE AS WELL.

WHAT IS THE REASON, WHAT'S THE RATIONALE FOR DOING THE MAILBOX THERE OR FOR NOT DOING? I MEAN, I'M JUST THINKING POST OFFICE WON'T DO IT ANYMORE. PET WILL PICK A PLACE AND HENCE MY HAMPSTEAD HEATH ALL HAVE MAILBOXES AT THEIR HOUSE OR SIMILAR. SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT IS THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS? POST OFFICES AREN'T DOING ANYTHING. THEY WON'T DO IT ANYMORE. THEY'RE NOT DOING WHAT ANYMORE. INDIVIDUAL MAILBOXES. THEY'RE NOT DOING MAILBOXES. NO NEW COMMUNITIES ARE GETTING COMMON MAILBOXES. MOST LOCATIONS POST OFFICES, TRUCK STOPS AT ONE SPOT, LOADS THEM UP AND MOVE DRIVES. YEAH. THAT'S HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF NEW ALBANY TOO. IT'S NOW A THING WITH NEW DEVELOPMENTS. I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THE EAST NINE

[01:20:03]

IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE. YEAH. SO ONE OF MY BIGGEST DILEMMAS IS WHEN LOOKING AT THIS AND CONSIDERING WHETHER TO LEAVE THE R TWO LANGUAGE AND GO TO THE IPOD IS THE MINIMUM SIDE YARD. AND I KNOW YOU SAID YOU HAVE SOME GARAGES THAT ARE ZERO FEET, RIGHT? DO YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S LIKE RIGHT ON THE RIGHT ON THE LINE. SO WHERE ARE WE THINKING THAT YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ZERO FEET? IS IT YOUR SKINNIER LOTS THAT YOU HAVE? IS IT THE ONES IN THE MIDDLE, THE ONES UP ON THE UP THERE ON THE I THINK THE THIS IS THE CONDITION WHERE THERE ARE ZEROS. SO THEY'RE SIDE LOADED HERE AND HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A COURT. DO YOU SEE THOSE ON THERE? YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S ZERO. SO THE BUILDING IS RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY LINE, WHICH IS A CONDITION THAT EXISTS IN ELY. YEAH, YEAH. WHICH HAS NOT BEEN WITHOUT ITS CHALLENGES. BUT YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS HAVE FOUND A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER. YEAH. TO CONTINUE WITH YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO HIT AS A RESULT OF DOING THIS REZONING.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS, IT SAYS USE OF TYPICAL ZONING STANDARDS IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN ORDER TO CREATE CREATIVITY AND DEVELOPMENT. YOU CAN SEE A WIDE RANGE OF LOT SIZES HERE. SO WE'RE DEFINITELY THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW WE'RE ABLE TO KIND OF MEET THAT STANDARD. AND CAN WE GET THESE EXHIBITS? I MEAN, IT'S HARD FOR US TO LOOK AT THIS AND JAM DOWN 32 LINES AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IKE THE COLORS. I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS. I, I WAS HOPING I COULD KIND OF REALLY THINK ABOUT, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT IN MY HEAD, WHAT THE DIFFERENT LOT SIZES AND THE DIVERSITY. SO CAN YOU WALK ME THROUGH THE, LIKE THE DIFFERENCES AND KIND OF MAYBE THE FEEL OF THE HOUSES? YEAH. SO WE'VE GOT SORT OF THESE LARGER ESTATE STYLE FEELING LOTS. OKAY. AND YOU KNOW, THESE ARE, THESE ARE ALL GOING TO FEEL SO THESE WILL FEEL MORE, I GUESS, LARGER, LIKE LARGER SUBURBAN LOTS. OKAY. AND HOW BIG ARE THOSE? THOSE ARE, LET'S SEE, 37, 38, 39, 74, 69, 68FT IN WIDTH. BUT YOU GOTTA REMEMBER THAT'S AT THE AT THE FRONT HERE. SO THEY GET A LITTLE WIDER AS YOU GO BACK. WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE 26, 27, 28, THERE'S 2027. THESE ARE LARGER SIZE LOTS. OKAY. WITH BIGGER WIDTHS, YOU KNOW, 13 THROUGH 19 ARE, YOU KNOW, 65 BASICALLY. AND THESE WILL BE THE ALLEY LOADED PRODUCT. SO, YOU KNOW, CITE OTHER EXAMPLES IN THE COMMUNITY OF THAT. BUT THE INTENT IS TO CREATE LITTLE DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT SORT OF, I GUESS, BUILT CONDITIONS HERE SO THAT THERE'S A VARIETY OF HOME TYPES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. AND WE, WE CAN PROVIDE AT THE NEXT READING MORE DETAILS ON HOW THESE HOMES COULD SIT ON THESE PROPERTIES, JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT WOULD LOOK HERE.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE CUSTOM AND SEMI-CUSTOM, BUT WE'VE DONE SOME TEST FITS. AND I JUST DIDN'T FEEL LIKE TONIGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET INTO THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL, BUT CERTAINLY PROVIDE IT NEXT TIME. ARE THERE GOING TO BE LIKE DIFFERENT FEATURES OF THE HOMES OR ARE THERE GOING TO BE LIKE ATTACHED OR ARE THEY GOING TO BE NO ATTACHED? OKAY, OKAY, ATTACHED TO THEM? SO THERE'S A REQUIREMENT THAT WHEN YOU HAVE THAT ZERO SETBACK CONDITION ON ONE LOT, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ON THE NEXT. SO YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST FIVE FOOT SETBACK ON THE OTHER PROPERTY. SO YOU DON'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, ABUTTING EACH OTHER THE FRONTAGE. I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT. COULD BE ZERO AND FIVE. THAT'S RIGHT. BUT ALSO ON THE SIDE. SO TWO SIDE ON THE SIDE LOT LINE, YOU CAN'T HAVE A ZERO AND A ZERO BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE ATTACHED. RIGHT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. SO THAT'LL BE ZERO AND FIVE. SO SOME OF THESE HOMES WILL BE AS CLOSE AS FIVE FEET. COULD BE COULD BE. SO THAT'S WHAT THE GARAGE CONDITION WHICH IS GREAT IF YOU NEED SUGAR FROM YOUR NEIGHBOR. I WAS GOING TO SAY I COULDN'T EVEN LAY DOWN THE GARAGE. I ALWAYS GO BACK TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THOSE ARE PROBABLY NOT MUCH FURTHER THAN FIVE FEET. ARE THEY? ARE THEY PROBABLY TEN FEET MAYBE, RIGHT.

SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS YOU'RE GOING TO WHERE YOU HAVE A ZERO SETBACK CONDITION THAT'S GOING TO BE WITH A GARAGE. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A GARAGE AND EITHER A GARAGE OR A SIDE OF A

[01:25:04]

THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER QUICK THINGS, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE UNDER THE EXISTING ZONING, THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REQUIRE 80FT OF RIGHT OF WAY. WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING A TOTAL.

WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING 50. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY 100FT. TOTAL PROVIDES FOR AN ABILITY OF, OF US TO, YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR THE ROAD TO BE WIDENED AND HAVE THAT EXTRA DEDICATED RIGHT OF WAY OF TEN FEET ON THIS SIDE. AND ALSO HOMES SHOULD NOT BACK ON THE ROADS, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE THAT CONDITION HERE. WE'RE NOT BACKING THE DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD CODE WOULD NOT HAVE THAT STIPULATION IN IT. THAT'S A STRATEGIC PLAN RECOMMENDATION. SO UNDER THE R-2 YOU CAN BACK UP TO DUBLIN. GRANVILLE FOR INSTANCE. SO THAT'S THE PRESENTATION. HAPPY TO CONTINUE ANSWERING QUESTIONS. I THINK THIS IF THIS STAYS THE SAME, THIS WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE FOR EVERYBODY THAT THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS THIS IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT FOR NEXT TIME. SINCE STAFF ISN'T SUPPORTIVE OF BACKING UP TO THAT OPEN SPACE AND WE'LL ALL HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION, YOU KNOW, IF WE ARE AS WELL. BUT IF THAT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER, THAT WOULD MIGHT IF WE DID NOT HAVE THOSE TWO LOTS THERE, THAT MIGHT MAKE A NICE PLACE FOR THIS PARK SPACE THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. SO JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. I AGREE WITH THAT. I AGREE WITH THAT. YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S RIGHT THERE OUT THE FRONT ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYBODY. AND YOU KNOW, WE CAN INCLUDE THAT INTO THE PROPOSED, YOU KNOW, PATH AND EVERYTHING. BUT JUST A THOUGHT. YOU GOT TO KEEP THE KIDS FROM FALLING IN THE RETENTION PONDS. YEAH. IT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE IN ANY OF YOUR OPEN SPACE BECAUSE THE WALKWAY TO THE ROAD WALKS RIGHT INTO THE NO, NO, NO, I'M SAYING THERE'S NO GOOD ANSWER TO THAT, TO BE HONEST. BUT YOU DO HAVE TO WORK ON THAT. I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD POINT, ACTUALLY. SO WHEN YOU SAID THAT THE RETENTION POND DOESN'T COUNT FOR THE OPEN SPACE, DOES IT COUNT IN THE DENSITY RATIO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE BECAUSE IT DOES.

SO THE RETENTION POND, THE ACREAGE SQUARE FOOTAGE, SQUARE FOOTAGE, I GUESS, OF THE RETENTION POND IS COUNTING IN THE AMOUNT, THE DENSITY FOR FOR THIS, IT'S REDUCING THE DENSITY BY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE RETENTION POND. YES, YES. CHRIS. YEAH. CHRIS IS CONFUSED BECAUSE I'M SAYING IT BACK 20 DIFFERENT WAYS. BUT YEAH. FOLLOWING ME. YEP. I'M FOLLOWING YOU. OKAY.

YEAH, IT'S CALCULATED THE GROSS. OKAY. BECAUSE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE, THE, THE DENSITY HERE, IT'S ONE OF THESE MOMENTS WHERE I GO, WELL. IT SAYS IT'S A LOWER DENSITY, BUT REALLY IT'S IF IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S ALL OF THIS SPACE OVER HERE THAT GETS TO BE COUNTED IN THAT ISN'T EVEN BUILDABLE ON ANYWAY. SO IT'S KIND OF AN OVERSTATEMENT, AN UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE DENSITY, IN MY OPINION. IF YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING AT THE PART THAT YOU CAN DEVELOP, THE DENSITY IS ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT IS BEING STATED. AND THE RETENTION POND IS EVEN IN THAT RATIO IS WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME. SO I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR ON THAT.

OKAY. OKAY. JUST FOR NEXT TIME, TO MATT'S POINT, THE THE TWO THAT DO BACK UP TO THE POND, IF THOSE GO AWAY AND THERE'S MORE FLEXIBILITY IN THAT SPACE IN THE NATURE OF THE POND CAN CHANGE. WILL THOSE WILL STILL BE REQUIRED IN ANY CONFIGURATION? YEAH. IF IT SLID

[01:30:11]

AND THAT'S PART OF IT IS WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THIS TREE PRESERVATION ALONG THAT PROPERTY LINE. RIGHT. AND I HAVEN'T WALKED BACK THERE. SO I ASSUME THAT BECAUSE WE WERE SHOVING IT UP THERE THAT WE RAN INTO GREAT ISSUES. BUT IF WE SHIFTED IT, I GUESS THAT'D BE WEST, RIGHT? WEST AND SOUTH. WE WOULDN'T HAVE. NOW WE'RE KIND OF PLAYING INTO THE NATURAL GRADE OF THE PROPERTY IN THE FLOODPLAIN. I MEAN, IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOSE A LOT AND MOVE IT TO IS THAT 39 WHEN YOU JUST SPEAKING TO AND CHANGE THE SHAPE OF IT? SO IT'S A LITTLE OBLONG AND THEN CREATE MORE PARK HERE? I DON'T KNOW, I JUST I'M TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO THE POTENTIAL GETTING AWAY FROM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT STAFF HAS BECAUSE NOW IT'S BESIDE A HOME AND NOT IN THE BACKYARD. IF IF THE RETENTION POND IS HERE NOW, DOES THAT STILL TROUBLE STAFF? LOT 38, I BELIEVE WOULD NEED TO BE RECONFIGURED A BIT. I MEAN, IT'S POSSIBLE. YES. YEAH. TO RECONFIGURE WHICH ONE'S 38. I THINK THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. SO THIS IS 39 AND 38. YEAH. YEAH. SO THIS I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IF YOU OH, YOU'RE SAYING JUST TAKE OUT 39 AND DO IT. 3839 WENT AWAY. YEAH. ON THERE. YEAH.

NOW IT'S BESIDE 38 RIGHT. I MEAN I, WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS CAN WE GET RID OF 39 AND 38 AND JUST MOVE IT ALL THE WAY UP. AND NOW YOU'VE GOT SOME ROOM FOR A DECENT AND LEAVE THE POND WHERE IT'S PROPOSED. YOU GOT A DECENT PLACE TO PUT SOME PLAY SPACE. AND I'M TOLD YOU DON'T HAVE TO BACK UP THE PLAN THAT I NOTICED. I GUESS THIS IS WHERE THE PLAYGROUND IS PROPOSED TO GO. OH, THAT'S WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. I THINK WE NEED A SITE. ISN'T THAT WHERE THE GRADE IS IMPOSSIBLE? THERE IS A GRADE THERE. THAT'S PRETTY STEEP, BUT I THINK A SITE VISIT WOULD BE GOOD TO GO OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT SITE VISIT GRADE. YEAH, IT'D BE AN INTERESTING PLAYGROUND. YEAH, IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A BIG SLIDE. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S TRUE. DEEP IN THE CORNER, FAR AWAY FROM EVERYTHING. THAT'S TRUE. THAT'S WHERE THE COYOTES ARE. SO COYOTES. YEAH. ANYMORE. CAN I CAN WE SWITCH GEARS TO TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING TO MENTION THAT BECAUSE THAT'S ON THE COMMENTS ON THE STAFF REPORT. THEY HAD LISTED CITY ENGINEER'S CONCERNS. AND I ASSUME YOU'VE LOOKED AT ALL THAT. AND WE'RE ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE THERE. AND ONE OF THEM, AND I'LL LET YOU GET TO THAT, IS ALSO A TRAFFIC STUDY. BUT ARE WE GOOD WITH, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING ALL EXISTING PRIVATE WELL AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS IN THE SUBJECT AREA HAVE BEEN ABANDONED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITS PROVIDE WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, FIRE TRUCK TURNING RADIUS ANALYSIS AND OBTAIN FIRE DEPARTMENT APPROVALS, ALL THOSE THINGS. YES, WE'LL BE WORKING ON. SO WE'RE ALL SET FOR THE NEXT ONE. AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT TRAFFIC ACCESS STUDY, I THINK IS WHAT SO SO WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR ENGINEERING TRAFFIC ENGINEERING FOLKS, WORKING WITH CITY ENGINEERING FOLKS, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT TRAFFIC ACCESS STUDY BE DONE AND A FULL TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY WAS NOT REQUIRED. I'LL LET THE CITY EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS. ONE, ONE OF THE THINGS TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT CHANGING THEENSITY, SO TO SPEAK. I MEAN, WE'RE CHANGING THE STANDARDS. BUT IF THE CITY'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE LONG TERM TRAFFIC ON THIS ROADWAY, HOPEFULLY IT WAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THAT 39 UNITS, AT LEAST THEORETICALLY, WOULD FIT ON THE SITE TODAY. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL DO WHATEVER THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT REQUIRES OF US. I THINK THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT, OKAY, IT'S NOT VERY LIKELY THAT THERE IS GOING TO NEED TO BE A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT AT THIS INTERSECTION. AND THEREFORE, THEY WENT WITH THE ACCESS STUDY RATHER THAN THE FULL STUDY. BUT I'LL YOU KNOW, THAT'S FOR THE STAFF TO. BUT BUT YOU'RE GOOD WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH AN ACCESS STUDY FOR SURE. CORRECT.

OKAY. I, I AM TOTALLY I, I'M NOT ONE TO ASK FOR A STUDY IF NOT NECESSARY, I WILL TELL YOU I LIVE, I MADE THAT LEFT TURN TODAY TO GET TO COUNCIL 6:00 I WAITED THREE MINUTES TO TURN

[01:35:08]

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WHOLE TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. AND WOULD ADDING THESE HOMES WORSEN THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND MAKE IT BE BAD FOR THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD? I DON'T KNOW, IS THERE ARE THERE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS THAT COULD BE MADE? I THINK PERHAPS I WOULD LOVE AND I WOULD LOVE TO DO MORE THAN JUST AN ACCESS STUDY. I WOULD LOVE TO DO A FULL, COMPREHENSIVE STUDY, AND I WOULD LOVE FOR THE CITY TO HELP PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF THE FINANCIAL COSTS OF THAT STUDY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT THE DEVELOPMENT'S FAULT, RIGHT? I'M NOT SAYING THAT 39 UNITS IS GOING TO BRING A TRAFFIC CALAMITY THAT WILL REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CROSSING GUARD AND ALL THAT. BUT I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT AND THIS MAYBE BEING AN ADDITIONAL TIPPING POINT TO MAKE A BAD SITUATION EVEN WORSE. SO HOW DO SO MORE OF A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK, MAYBE FROM TAYLOR TO COMPREHENSIVE. WE'RE LIKE FROM. YEAH, EXACTLY. FROM TO JUST TO GIVE THE NEIGHBORS SOME PEACE OF MIND. AND, AND I WANTED TO MAYBE HEAR PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS ON THAT, I GUESS, CHRIS, CAN YOU KIND OF MAKE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN AN ACCESS STUDY AND A TRAFFIC STUDY AND WHAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM EACH. YES. SO I MAKE TAG TEAM THIS WITH JUSTIN WILKINSON, THE CITY ENGINEER.

WE DID PREPARE A MEMO EARLIER TODAY AND SENT IT TO JOE ADDRESSING THIS TRAFFIC ISSUE IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS REZONING APPLICATION MORE COMPREHENSIVELY, SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS SENT TO YOU GUYS IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. BUT YES, WHEN ANY REZONING APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, WE DO SEND IT TO OUR ENGINEERING STAFF AS WELL AS THE CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER TO DETERMINE IF A TRAFFIC STUDY IS WARRANTED OR ANY SORT OF TRAFFIC ANALYSIS. SO A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY IS OBVIOUSLY MUCH MORE INVOLVED, AND IT LOOKS AT LAND USES IN THE BROADER AREA AROUND THE SITE. A TRAFFIC ACCESS STUDY LOOKS AT, SORRY, I JUST GOT DISTRACTED BY A MOTH FLYING AROUND THE ROOM, BUT TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM.

TRAFFIC ACCESS STUDY LOOKS AT JUST WHAT IMPROVEMENTS MAY BE NEEDED. YOU KNOW ALONG IN THIS EXAMPLE ALONG DUBLIN GRANVILLE ROAD TO ACCOMMODATE THIS DEVELOPMENT. WHEN LOOKING AT.

IF EITHER ONE OF THOSE STUDIES ARE WARRANTED, THERE HAS TO BE A CERTAIN NUMBER, A CERTAIN THRESHOLD OF TRAFFIC ENTERING AND EXITING THE THE THE DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO WARRANT A TRAFFIC STUDY. IT'S 200 ENTRANCES AND EXITS. AND JUSTIN, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ON THIS.

THIS IS I'M IN MY ENGINEERING WORLD HERE. AGAIN, THAT'S FOR TRAFFIC ACCESS OR TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY, WHICH IS THE MORE INVOLVED STUDY FOR A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY OR TRAFFIC ACCESS STUDY. I'M SO SORRY. TRAFFIC ACCESS STUDY. IT IS 100 IN AND OUTS. SO FOR A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS WITH 39 HOMES, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO MEET THAT THRESHOLD TO WARRANT THAT LEVEL OF STUDY. AND THAT'S EXPLAINED IN THE MEMO THAT WE PREPARED EARLIER TODAY. I'LL LET JUSTIN MAYBE EXPLAIN SOME OF THE EFFORT, SOME OF THE STEPS WE COULD TAKE ON THE CITY SIDE TO EVALUATE THE TRAFFIC ISSUES THAT WE'RE HEARING ABOUT ON DUBLIN GRANVILLE, MORE HOLISTICALLY. AND THAT'S, AGAIN, AS YOU GUYS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED, IT'S MORE KIND OF ABSENT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S TRAFFIC ISSUES EXIST TODAY. SO, JUSTIN, IF YOU WANT TO WALK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE. YEAH, CERTAINLY. I'D BE HAPPY TO CLARIFY ON SOME OF THE EFFORTS AND SOME OF THE OBSERVATIONS THAT STAFF HAS MADE. SO ULTIMATELY, WE HAVE RECENTLY MODIFIED THE SIGNAL. AND BY RECENTLY, I MEAN PROBABLY IN THE LAST 2 OR 3 YEARS IN DUBLIN, GRANVILLE ROAD AND HARLEM ROAD. SO ULTIMATELY, WE HAVE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING STAFF MONITORING THE INTERSECTION AS WE SPEAK, I THINK NOT AT THIS EXACT TIME, BUT IN THE PAST DAYS AND IN THE COMING DAYS, THEY'RE GOING TO BE CONTINUING TO EVALUATE PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC OUT THERE. SO ULTIMATELY, THE MODIFIED SIGNAL WAS INSTALLED IN LATE 2023. OBVIOUSLY, TRAFFIC PATTERNS TEND TO CHANGE OVER TIME. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THEM EVALUATE THE SIGNAL

[01:40:02]

YEAH. I THINK IN ANSWERING ANDREA'S QUESTION, JUST ME PERSONALLY, I MEAN, I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF A BIGGER STUDY OVER AND ABOVE WHAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE COMMITTED TO, TO COVER THAT COST. PERSONALLY, OF COURSE, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE COST OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE, BUT WITH THE PAYING FOR IT, SINCE ANDREA AND I ARE PAYING NO. SO WE'RE GOOD. NO, BUT I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH ALL THE ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL RETAIL WE HAVE AT HAMILTON. IT'S JUST IT'S EVEN MORE SO THAN WHAT WE HAVE JUST RESIDENTS THAT ARE LIVING ON THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I, I LIVE IN THAT AREA AS WELL. I'M COMING OUT ON HARLEM ALL THE TIME. AND SO THE FEW TIMES THAT I'VE TRIED TO COME OUT ON GREENLAWN TO TURN LEFT ONTO ONTO OLD 161 HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE WITH NO LIGHT RIGHT THERE. SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, YOU KNOW, WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND, AND WHAT HAVE YOU. IF YOU JUST HOPE THAT A WALKER HITS THE BUTTON TO CROSS AT THAT SPOT. SO THEN IT BECOMES A LITTLE BIT EASIER BECAUSE EVERYBODY STOPS. BUT I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE AT LEAST GOING DOWN THAT PATH TO SEE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHAT THAT WOULD COST. AND BECAUSE I THINK A BIGGER PICTURE OF OUR MAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY FROM THE WEST WOULD MAKE SENSE TO REEVALUATE BASED ON WHAT YOU JUST SHARED. BUT I WOULD SAY ONE QUESTION BACK OVER HERE, CHRIS, PROBABLY TO YOU GUYS, IF IF THIS WAS NOW THIS IS GETTING BACK TO WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT.

REZONING, REZONING QUESTION. IF WE WERE TO KEEP THIS AT R2 AND WITHOUT ANY WHICH IT IS CURRENTLY AND WITHOUT ANY VARIANCES FOR SIDE REAR, YOU KNOW, CAPACITY ON THE ALL THAT STUFF ABOUT HOW MANY HOMES CAN GO IN ONTO THOSE NINE ACRES. I CANDIDLY, THERE'S PROBABLY HUNDREDS OF WAYS THAT YOU COULD LAY IT OUT AND GET, YOU KNOW, UNITS IN THERE TO MEET ALL OF OUR CODE REQUIREMENTS. IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE LESS THAN WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED. OKAY. BUT THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF WAYS TO, TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. YEAH, I WOULD BE INTERESTED JUST, YOU KNOW, WITH MINIMUM SIGHTLINES AND MINIMUM SIDE YARDS AND REAR YARDS AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT.

I WOULD JUST BE CURIOUS JUST TO AN ESTIMATE IT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 25 TO 32. I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT WOULD BE JUST INTERESTING TO SEE BECAUSE THAT WOULD DEFINITELY REDUCE THE TRAFFIC, BUT IT WOULD STILL INCREASE IT BY THEN. BUT JUST CURIOUS, THAT'S ALL. JUST AS WE'RE LOOKING AT REZONING. YEAH. WITHOUT ANY VARIANCE, AS YOU SAID. YEAH. WITHOUT ANY VARIANCES. YEAH. PROBABLY QUITE A FEW WAYS TO DO THAT. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY TOUGH. IF YOU CAN'T DO IT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. WOULD YOUYEAH LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE.

THANK YOU. I'M TIRED. OKAY. I GOT SOMETHING ELSE. WE KNEW THERE'D BE ROBUST CONVERSATION

[01:45:04]

THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK AT THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. ANYBODY ELSE FROM COUNCIL? I HOPE EVERYONE KEPT TRACK OF THE HOMEWORK THEY GOT ASSIGNED. YEAH. STAFF HAS HOMEWORK. AARON HAS SOME HOMEWORK. I GOT A SITE VISIT I GOTTA DO. SO I GOT SOME HOMEWORK. I GOT A TRAFFIC STUDY TO FUNDRAISE FOR. YEAH. BECAUSE IT'S NOT IT'S NOT GIRL SCOUT SEASON, BUT YOU'LL BE SELLING COOKIES FOR THE OTHER PARTY. BUT YEAH, IT'S GOOD NEWS. BAD NEWS. YOU YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON THIS PROJECT, SO YOU GOT YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU. ALL RIGHT. NO FURTHER COMMENTS. I WILL SET THE MATTER FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MAY 19TH COUNCIL MEETING. OKAY, MOVING ON TO ORDINANCE. 015 2026 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT FOR 14 RESIDENTIAL LOTS FOR RESERVES AND FOR ROADS ON 15.24 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES FOR HAMLET AT SUGAR RUN P P P P P PP GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NEW ALBANY CONDUIT ROAD AND CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD, AS REQUESTED BY NONA MASTER DEVELOPMENT, LLC, CARE OF ERIN UNDERHILL, ESQUIRE. MISS BLACKFORD HERE. YOU DON'T GET TO READ. ALL RIGHT. SO, YES, THIS IS GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NEW ALBANY CONDUIT ROAD AND CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD INTERSECTION. THIS PLOT WILL INCLUDE 14 LOTS OF TWO RESERVES AND FOUR PUBLICLY DEDICATED STREETS. WHICH. THE 14 LOTS ARE IN THIS MIDDLE SECTION RIGHT HERE. SO THE APPLICANT HAS PROPOSED TO NAME ALL PRIMARY ROADS WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. AFTER HISTORIC FIGURES IN. ON THE NEW ALBANY COMMUNITY. SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE RUSH BOULEVARD THAT'S LEADING FROM NEW ALBANY CONDUIT ROAD OUT TO CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD, AND THEN THE OTHER STREETS HERE. SORRY, WE HAVE ASHBURN, ASHBURN WAY, HUDSON LOOP AND TILIA ALLEY, WHICH ARE ALL NAMED AFTER NATIVE PLANT SPECIES TO OHIO. AND THEN WE HAVE THE RESERVES RESERVE A AND THEN RESERVE B. OH, SORRY. WHICH ONES? I'M SORRY, WHICH ONE IS THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. THIS IS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT PHASE ONE, RUSH BOULEVARD. ARE WE ASKING ABOUT THE ROAD? IF THIS IS THE PHASE. PHASE ONE. THIS IS PHASE ONE. YES. OKAY.

THANK YOU. YEP. AND THENT T FOR A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT, THIS IS THE AREA ON THE FINAL APPROVED. SORRY, THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED. SO IT DOES MATCH THAT FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO THIS IS THE AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YES. THE AREA OUTLINED IN RED. SO THOSE ARE THOSE 14 LOTS IN THIS GENERAL AREA. AND THEN CENTRAL COLLEGE IS OUT HERE IN NEW ALBANY COUNTY ROAD OVER HERE. AND THEN I'M HERE AS WELL AS ERIN. SO SO THIS IS THE FIRST SECTION THAT'S GOING TO BE BUILT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING. YES. OKAY. WHERE'S THE MAILBOX GOING TO GO? YEAH, I KNOW THAT THOSE LOCATIONS, WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE APPLICANT TO PLAN THOSE OUT, BUT IT WILL BE A CPU OR A CENTRAL MAILBOX UNIT LOCATED LIKELY. CAN I HAVE ONE RIGHT HERE. LET ME SEE IF THIS ONE WORKS. THE ONE FOR THESE UNITS. AND MOST OF THESE UNITS IN THIS AREA WILL LIKELY BE LOCATED IN THIS RESERVE AREA HERE. OR YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE UNITS OVER HERE MIGHT THE CPU MIGHT BE LOCATED IN THIS RESERVE AREA, BUT THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT, THEY WILL BE LOCATED IN OPEN SPACE AREAS. THEY'RE JUST DONE DELIVERING MAIL. THE HOUSES. YEAH. WE HAVE A COUPLE SUBDIVISIONS ONLINE THAT ARE ALREADY SWITCHED OVER TO THIS METHOD. NOTTINGHAM TRACE COURTYARDS AND NEW ALBANY BOTH USE. QUEENS CREEK WILL ALSO USE CDS. OKAY, YEAH. ANOTHER POST OFFICES REQUIRING THAT MOST NEW SUBDIVISIONS. NOW THERE YOU GO. SO THE ONLY DEVELOPMENT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS RESIDENTIAL, CORRECT? YEP. THAT'S RIGHT. SO SO THEY'LL COME FORWARD WITH FUTURE PHASES OF THE DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT FOR PHASE TWO. PHASE THREE WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR FIRST READING FOR MAY 19TH. IS THAT RIGHT. YES, YES. WHICH WILL BE THE THE LAND SOUTH OF THE CREEK DOWN HERE. PHASE TWO, WHICH WILL GO OVER IS THIS GROUND OVER HERE. SO PHASE ONE, TWO AND THREE ARE STILL ALL RESIDENTIAL, CORRECT? YEAH. NONE OF THE COMMERCIALS BEEN BROUGHT UP FOR PLANS YET. NOT YET. NO. NOT FOR PLANNING. NO. AND IT MOST LIKELY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T USUALLY

[01:50:03]

AND WE'RE APPROVING SOMETHING SITTING IN MIDDLE OF THIS. I CAN APPRECIATE WHAT THESE LOTS ARE. THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX AREA THROUGH HERE AND TO THE POINT OF COMMERCIAL AND HOW THAT ALL IS GOING TO FIT TOGETHER. WE NEED TO SEE MORE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING. YEAH. IN ANY DETAIL FROM THE DEVELOPER IN QUITE A WHILE. AND THIS IS A VERY BIG DEPARTURE FROM WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. I'M NOT SURE I'M COMFORTABLE. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE EITHER. YEAH. EVALUATING THIS WITHOUT A BIGGER PICTURE, IT'D BE BETTER TO JUST DO IT ALL AT ONE TIME. IF THE DEVELOPER CAN COME AND WE CAN GET SOME INFORMATION, WE'LL SHARE THAT WITH THE DEVELOPER. OKAY, THANKS. THANK YOU. ANY MORE COMMENTS ON THE ORDINANCE? ALL RIGHT. THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER. I'LL SET THE MATTER FOR SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING AT OUR MAY 19TH COUNCIL MEETING ORDINANCE. 016 2026 AN ORDINANCE TO APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT FOR 28 RESIDENTIAL LOTS, TWO ROADS AND FOUR RESERVES ON 6.12 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES FOR HAMLET AT SUGAR RUN PHASE TWO, GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NEW ALBANY ROAD AND CENTRAL COLLEGE ROAD, AS REQUESTED BY NOTED MASTER DEVELOPMENT, LLC.

KARA, AARON AND JILL ESQUIRE. MISS PARKER. ALL RIGHT, SO WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE OF 605 NOW. SO THIS PART IS GOING TO INCLUDE 28 RESIDENTIAL LOTS INTO PUBLICLY DEDICATED STREETS. AND THEN FOR RESERVES, THIS SHOWS SORRY AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE RUSH BOULEVARD GOING THROUGH THE CENTER PIECE HERE. AND THEN CORNICE LANE IS THE SMALLER ROAD GOING THIS WAY. AND CORNICE LANE, SORRY. CORNICE IS THE LATIN NAME FOR A DOGWOOD TREE WHICH ARE NATIVE TO OHIO. AND THEN AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AGAIN.

SIX THE OTHER SIDE OF 605. IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WAS PROPOSED THERE. AND I DO THINK THAT THEY ACTUALLY CALLED OUT PUTTING THE CENTRALIZED MAILBOXES IN THAT AREA. RIGHT.

THANK YOU. YOU GOT IT. THE THEME OF THE NIGHT. YES. MAILBOXES AND PLAYGROUNDS. I

[01:55:06]

[11. RESOLUTIONS AND PUBLIC HEARING]

MESSER WILL ASSIST WITH COST ESTIMATING, SCHEDULING, CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPOSED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. THERE'S NO CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION INCLUDED IN THIS LEGISLATION. ONCE THE GMP IS DEVELOPED, WE'LL RETURN TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION AND AS A. AS A REMINDER, IF THE GMP IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, THE CITY'S NOT OBLIGATED TO PROCEED. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY, THAT'S JUST DONE A VERY GOOD JOB FOR THE CITY. NICE HAVING A FAMILIAR FACE. YEAH. CONTINUE TO WORK IN THE COMMUNITY. I LIKE THE HOW THE SYNERGY. SO THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO ME. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? ALL RIGHT. I'LL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS RESOLUTION? I WILL NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION I MOVE FOR ADOPTION OF HONOR 11 2026 SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER WILTROUT. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DEREK. YES.

MAYOR. SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. CHRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER.

SCHOR. YES. SIX. YES. VOTES TO ADOPT RESOLUTION R 11, 2026 RESOLUTION R 12, 2026. A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ADVERTISE, BID, AWARD AND EXECUTE ALL AGREEMENTS AND CONTRACTS RELATED TO THE 2026 CITY OF NEW ALBANY STREET IMPROVEMENT

[02:00:04]

THE ROADWAYS ARE ASSIGNED A SCORE BETWEEN 0 AND 100 BASED ON THE. BASED ON AN ASTM TESTING STANDARD WHERE. IF YOU LOOK UP AT THE SCREEN HERE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE VARYING COLORS. WE HAVE RED. I APOLOGIZE, I'M COLORBLIND, SO IF I GET ANYTHING WRONG RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN AND BLUE, WHERE 0 TO 40 IS RED, 41 TO 60 IS ORANGE AND THAT IS CONSIDERED POOR, 61 TO 70 IS YELLOW. THAT IS CONSIDERED FAIR AND THAT IS OUR MINIMUM TARGET ON ANY RESIDENTIAL STREETS IN THE VILLAGE CENTER, 81 TO 90 IS GREEN, WHICH IS GOOD, AND 91 TO 100 IS BLUE, WHICH IS EXCELLENT. IN LOOKING AT OUR 2025 SCORE. SO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS DONE AT THE VERY END OF THE STREET PROGRAM EVERY YEAR. SO THIS IS ESSENTIALLY EVALUATING OUR RESULTS FROM LAST YEAR'S STREET PROGRAM AND THE INVESTMENT THAT WE HAD MADE. SO ULTIMATELY, ALL OF OUR ROADS IN AGGREGATE HAVE AN OVERALL AVERAGE SCORE OF 81, WHICH PUTS US IN THE GOOD RANGE. SO ULTIMATELY, TAKING A LOOK AT 2025, WE HAVE AN 81 IN 2024. WE ALSO HAD AN 81 AND 2023. WE HAD A 77. SO ULTIMATELY, BASED ON THE INVESTMENT WE MADE LAST YEAR, WE MADE JUST ENOUGH TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING OUR ROADWAY STANDARD ABOVE 80.

IN FACT, PARKER ALWAYS TOLD US WE WERE LIKE 90 WHEN HE WAS HERE BECAUSE HE I THINK HE WAS WITH YOU. HE NEVER ACTUALLY SHOWED US THIS DATA. HE JUST THREW OUT 90 LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GREAT. I WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN HIS WORD FOR IT, BUT THAT'S JUST ME. ULTIMATELY, ONCE THE DATA IS OBTAINED, STAFF DEVELOPS A PRELIMINARY IMPROVEMENT PLAN AND THEN REVIEWS THE ALIGNMENTS IN THE FIELD TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO GAPS IN THE DATA. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TOOL TO HELP US BE INFORMED OBJECTIVELY. HOWEVER, IT'S NOT PERFECT. SO OBVIOUSLY THE HUMAN EYE CATCHES SOME THINGS THAT AI AND CCTV CAN'T AT TIMES. SO ONCE WE HAVE OBTAINED THE DATA, WE GO OUT AND EVALUATE THE STREETS THAT ARE DUE FOR IMPROVEMENT. AND THEN BASED ON OUR FIELD EVALUATIONS, IS HOW WE ULTIMATELY SELECT THE INITIAL STREET, THE INITIAL LIST OF STREETS THAT WE THEN COORDINATE WITH MR. STEFANOV TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY AND FUTURE NEEDS FOR PARTICULAR AREAS. SO JUST SOMETHING TO MENTION ON OUR OVERALL BUDGET. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE MAINTAIN AN 81 SCORE SINCE LAST YEAR. I WILL SAY THAT MR. STEFANOV HAS CONTEMPLATED THE NEED FOR INCREASED INVESTMENT YEAR OVER YEAR DUE TO CITY GROWTH AND INFLATION. SO JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, THE 2025 CIP WAS $3.5 MILLION, 2026 IS $3.75 MILLION. SO ULTIMATELY, WE WILL NEED TO KEEP UP WITH INFLATION AND OBVIOUSLY, THE GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE MOST ROBUST INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND OUR BUSINESSES.

SO WE WILL ULTIMATELY CONTINUE TO COORDINATE WITH THE CITY MANAGER TO ENSURE THAT THE INVESTMENT IS ALWAYS MADE YEAR OVER YEAR TO APPROPRIATELY MAINTAIN THESE ROADWAYS. MOVING ON TO THE PROGRAM FOR THIS YEAR, ULTIMATELY, WE LAST YEAR PROGRAM FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON COLLECTOR ROADWAYS, WHICH ARE THE ROADWAYS THAT CONNECT YOUR LOCAL RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO YOUR ARTERIAL ROADWAYS TO GET YOU FROM, YOU KNOW, LONGER DISTANCE ROUTES, POINT A TO POINT B, THE SCOPE FOR OUR PROJECT IS SIMILAR TO YEARS PAST, WHERE YOU'LL SEE IN RED UP HERE. UP HERE YOU'LL SEE SOME CRACKED CEILING THAT'S IN RED. IN ORANGE, WE HAVE THE MILL AND OVERLAY. WE ALSO WILL BE DOING SOME FULL DEPTH REPAIRS WHERE IN AREAS WHERE THERE'S EXCESSIVE FATIGUE AND FAILURE OF THE ENTIRE PAVEMENT BASE. AND THEN IN THE AREAS THAT WE DO THE MILL AND OVERLAY, WHICH IS IN ORANGE, WE WILL ALSO BE DOING CURB REPLACEMENTS AND CURB RAMP REPLACEMENTS. ULTIMATELY, THAT'S A BEST PRACTICE TO REMOVE AND REPLACE CURB AT THE SAME TIME AS A MILL, AND OVERLAY JUST ENSURES FOR A BETTER OVERALL PROJECT. IN 2023, WE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON ARTERIAL ROADWAYS. LAST YEAR, WE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON COLLECTOR ROADWAYS. IN THIS YEAR, WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS PRIMARILY ON RESIDENTIAL

[02:05:03]

BRANDON DOWN HERE. AND HAMPSTEAD VILLAGE, I BELIEVE, IS THIS GUY UP HERE. AND HEATH, EXCUSE ME. AND THE COURTYARD TO NEW ALBANY UP HERE. SO LARGELY FOCUSING ON OUR RESIDENTIAL STREETS THIS YEAR. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME SELECT COLLECTOR ROADWAYS AND ALSO SOME ARTERIAL ROADWAYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE IMPROVING, THE BIGGEST ONE BEING SMITHS MILL ROAD FROM SMITHS MILL LOOP NORTH ALL THE WAY THROUGH BEACH ROAD UP TO US 62 HERE. LOOKS LIKE IT STOPS A LITTLE SHORT. I'M MISINTERPRETING IT. I'LL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT TO DETERMINE THOSE LIMITS, TO JUST TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE CAPTURING EVERYTHING. BUT ULTIMATELY, THOSE ARE THE LIMITS THAT WE HAVE LAID OUT. RIGHT NOW, I'LL JUST HAVE TO VERIFY WITH STAFF TO ENSURE THAT THAT IS APPROPRIATE IN THE FIGURE FOR WHAT OUR SCOPE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE. ULTIMATELY, SMITHS MILL ROAD, BEING A LARGEST ARTERIAL ROADWAY IN A BUSINESS PARK ROADWAY, PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT TO BE ABLE TO MILL AND OVERLAY THAT, WHICH, YOU KNOW, BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT. AND JUST ENSURING THAT WE'RE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT A LOT OF OUR BUSINESS PARK INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN BUILT VERY QUICKLY AND WITHIN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO WE JUST NEED TO BE COGNIZANT THAT A LOT OF THOSE ROADWAYS ARE GOING TO COME DUE, IF YOU WILL, FOR SOME LONGER TERM MAINTENANCE EFFORTS WITHIN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SO JUST SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO WORK WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND OUR STAFF TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING THE INFRASTRUCTURE APPROPRIATELY OF OUR BUSINESS PARK IN THE FUTURE. ULTIMATELY, WE DO HAVE SOME ALTERNATE BIDS AS WELL, SO THESE ALTERNATE BIDS PROVIDE US WITH SOME FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY AND THE ABILITY TO ALSO, YOU KNOW, DETERMINE IF A STREET IS NECESSARILY WARRANTED FOR THIS YEAR OR NOT. THIS JUST GIVES US THE ABILITY TO COLLECT COMPETITIVE BID PRICING TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT IS THE TOTAL PROGRAM GOING TO COST. AND THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO IF OUR BUDGET ISN'T ROBUST ENOUGH CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, WITH VOLATILITY IN OIL PRICES, LARGELY AFFECTS ASPHALT PAVING PRICING. SO HAVING SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THE BID PROCESS HELPS US ENSURE THAT WE'RE DELIVERING THE BEST PRODUCT AT THE BEST PRICE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO ULTIMATELY, THE TWO ALTERNATE STREETS WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS YEAR ARE CEDARBROOK, AND THERE'S A PORTION OF CENTRAL COLLEGE JUST EAST OF 605 THAT PENDING THE HAMLET DEVELOPMENT, WE MAY COME BACK AT A LATER DATE AND RESURFACE THAT AREA JUST SO THAT THE DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T ADVERSELY AFFECT A NEW MILL AND OVERLAY. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE $3.75 MILLION IN THE 2026 CAPITAL BUDGET AND SUPPLEMENTING WITH FUNDS FROM ONE OF THE BUSINESS PARK TIFFS FOR A TOTAL OF $4.3 MILLION. THE BUSINESS PARK TIFF, SUPPORTING LARGELY THE SMITHS MILL ROAD RESURFACING. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. SO THE STRATEGY, AS THE BUSINESS PARK ROAD NETWORK CONTINUES TO AGE AND REQUIRE MAINTENANCE WOULD BE TO RELY ON THE BUSINESS PARK CENTRIC FUNDING SOURCES FOR THAT, AND THAT WOULD FREE UP MORE CAPITAL TO FUND THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND. OUR. OUR GOAL IS TO NEVER SEE ANY RED ON THAT FOUR COLOR, FIVE COLORED MAP. AND THEN AS SOON AS YOU SEE THE ROADS START TO CHANGE COLOR FROM YELLOW TO ORANGE, THEY GET ON THE PAVEMENT LIST. SOMETIMES IF THEY'RE AT THE TOP OF THE. IF THEY'RE IF THEY'RE RIGHT ON THE MARGIN BETWEEN YELLOW AND ORANGE, DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF PAVEMENT THAT WE WOULD NEED TO REPAIR OR RESTORE, SOME OF THOSE MIGHT CARRY OVER FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT. BUT MY GOAL IS TO TRY TO ELIMINATE ALL ALL ORANGE FROM THE MAP IF POSSIBLE. AND JUST TO PIGGYBACK OFF OF JOE'S POINT, SO THIS PROGRAM FOR THIS YEAR WILL ADDRESS ANY OF THE ORANGE STREETS WITHIN THE VILLAGE CENTER. OBVIOUSLY, OUT IN THE BUSINESS PARK, WE MIGHT HAVE SOME ROADS THAT ARE CURRENTLY, YOU KNOW, ADJACENT TO DEVELOPMENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT MAY BE IN THE ORANGE FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENT.

BUT AS FAR AS OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS, WE FOCUSED ON GETTING ANYTHING IN ORANGE, BRINGING IT UP AT LEAST TO AND YOU KNOW, IT'LL BE BLUE OR GREEN, OBVIOUSLY, AFTER WE DO A MILL AND OVERLAY. SO YOU GUYS DO SUCH A GREAT JOB WITH ALL OF THIS AND WE APPRECIATE YOU STAYING ON TOP OF IT. YOU JUST SAID SOMETHING ABOUT EVERYTHING'S AGING AND YOU KNOW, MORE'S COMING UP. AND JOE, I REMEMBER WE HAD MENTIONED AT ONE TIME AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE STOOD ON THAT, BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR SEWERS? HAVE WE STARTED LOOKING AT OUR SEWERS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? BECAUSE I'M SURE THEY'RE AGING JUST AS WELL. AND I KNOW I'VE BEEN IN OTHER COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY LET THAT GO AND IT GOT PRETTY BAD. SO JUST A BRIEF UPDATE THERE. SURE. SO RYAN CAN GET INTO SOME OF THE DETAILS. BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WHEN MIKE BARKER STARTED, AND ACTUALLY IT PREDATED MIKE, WE WE SET UP A GOAL OF INSPECTING A CERTAIN

[02:10:05]

AT LEAST THAT ISN'T A MILLED SURFACE. YEAH, IF WE CAN GET IT DONE BEFORE, THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING. WE CAN DEFINITELY NEED SOME.

JUST ANOTHER CHALLENGE. COME ON GUYS. OF COURSE WE'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT. IF YOU'RE DOING CONSTRUCTION WHILE EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO PRACTICE WRITING TOO. SO YEAH. WELL, I ALWAYS HEAR THAT. YEAH. I MEAN, I'LL JUST GET MY PUSH. I WAS WRITING IT UP FOR YOU. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS. THANK YOU. RYAN. WHEN I SAW JORDAN ON MY WITH THE WHEEL ON MY STREET THE OTHER DAY AND IT MADE ME VERY HAPPY. I KNEW KNEW GOOD THINGS WERE COMING. I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR STREET IS SO BAD. I DON'T KNOW, IT REALLY IS BAD. I NEVER SAID A WORD, THOUGH. DID I EVER CALL YOU? NOPE, NOPE. BUT NOT DISHONOR. ON THE THE BIKE POINT. YOU GO OUT AND YOU RIDE THE BIKE THROUGH AND YOU COULD JUMP ON 22 MILLIMETER TIRES AND I CAN PAINT ALL THE, YOU KNOW, COLORS FOR YOU. I'VE BEEN RIDING OUT INTENTIONALLY TO THE BUSINESS PARK JUGG STREET. YOU KNOW, THESE YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT, JUSTIN, THESE ROADS ARE BRAND NEW AND THEY ARE HARD RED RIGHT NOW. LIKE THEY ARE DESTROYED. DO WE HAVE A MECHANISM FOR THE COMPANIES THAT ARE WORKING OUT THERE AND UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW TO HELP FUND REPAIRS OF THOSE ROADS THAT WE JUST PUT IN THAT ARE ALREADY DESTROYED? RIGHT. SO WE HAVE THAT REALLY KUDOS TO THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH SOME OF THE LARGE DEVELOPERS OUT THERE. AND THEN ALSO WITH OUR RIGHT OF WAY PERMIT HOLDERS TO TO RESTORE SECTIONS, PARTICULARLY OF BEACH ROAD. THAT'S A BAD ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE, NORTH SIDE, NORTH OF JUG. SO WE HAVE HAD SOME GOOD SUCCESS LATELY WITH THAT. OKAY.

YEAH, I, I SHOULD HOPE SO BECAUSE I MEAN, THEY ARE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITION OF THOSE ROADS AND TO BUILD ON THAT, EVEN META'S CONTRIBUTED TO, TO SOME ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS DOWN ON BEACH AND MORRIS ROAD. AND SO WE'VE GOT WE'RE WORKING WITH PATASKALA RIGHT NOW TO PLAN THAT, BUT IT IS HAPPENING. OKAY. I APPRECIATE THAT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL, SIR? I WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC SPEAK TO THIS RESOLUTION? HEARING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE A MOTION ON THE RESOLUTION MOVE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION R 12, 2026 SECOND. COUNCILMEMBER SCHULTZ YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DETRICK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. KISS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. YES. MAYOR.

SPALDING. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WILTROUT. YES. SIX. YES. VOTES TO ADOPT RESOLUTION R 12, 2026.

[12. COUNCIL SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS]

[02:15:08]

BUT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THAT PAGE, WE HAVE WE HAVE REQUESTED THAT YOU CHECK ALL THAT, THAT IT'S THE SAME EXACT CRITERIA THAT WE JUST HAD, BUT YOU CHECK WHICH ONES YOU ARE ACTUALLY APPLYING FOR FOR THE GRANTS. AND AGAIN, WE REMOVED CULTURAL ARTS EVENTS OFF OF THAT.

OTHERWISE, THE SIDE FROM CHANGING THE DATES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO REFLECT THIS YEAR, MOVING INTO NEXT YEAR, EVERYTHING ELSE HAD REMAINED THE SAME. AND I DID SPEAK TO CRAIG MOORE, AND HE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH EVERYTHING. AND IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS THAT MAY BE POTENTIALLY IN THE PAST WOULD HAVE SUBMITTED A GRANT APPLICATION. HE IS REQUESTED THAT THEY CONTACT THE FOUNDATION AND TALK TO GINA, AND SHE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO CONTINUE THAT PROCESS. NOW WITH THE NOW WITH THE FOUNDATION.

OKAY, SO WE ARE ALL SET. SO NOW WE'LL BE MEETING HERE AFTER THE JULY 31ST DEADLINE FOR ALL APPLICATIONS. WE'LL MEET AS USUAL AND PROBABLY PRESENT IN SEPTEMBER. DO YOU NEED A MOTION TO ADOPT THE NEW APPLICATION? YOU KNOW, I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF WE DO BECAUSE WE CHANGED THE DATES ALL THE TIME ON AND SO DO WE DO. I WOULD SAY THAT'S MORE SECRETARIAL WHERE THIS IS AN ACTUAL SUBSTANCE. OKAY. HOUSEKEEPING. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY WANTED THE COMMITTEE WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE AMEND THE. RIGHT TO THE COMMUNITY GRANTS CRITERIA TO ELIMINATE CULTURAL ARTS EVENTS THAT WILL BE TAKEN OVER BY THE FOUNDATION AND. THAT'S IT. AND ALSO ON THE CHANGE THE APPLICATION AS WELL. CORRECT THE CRITERIA AND THE APPLICATION. TWO DOCUMENTS. YES. YEAH. CRITERIA. AND I WILL SECOND THAT. COUNCIL MEMBER.

DEREK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BRISK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. KISS. YES. COUNCILMEMBER.

SCHULTZ. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WILTROUT. YES. MAYOR. YES. SIX. YES. VOTES TO ADOPT THE CHANGED 2026 TO 2027 COMMUNITY GRANTS CRITERIA AND REQUEST FOR FUNDING APPLICATION. ALL RIGHT.

[13. REPORTS OF REPRESENTATIVES]

THE SCHOOLS HAD CONFIRMED THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED ANOTHER SEASON OF HELP FOR THEIR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS FOR THE 2027 SEASON. SO CURRENTLY, THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT'S WORKING WITH THE SCHOOLS TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND SOME FACILITY USAGE OUT THERE FOR THEM FOR THE 2027 SEASON, DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR NEW BUILDING. ALSO, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK AGAIN WITH THE THE NEW FACILITY OUT THERE. THEY'RE LOOKING AT A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY RIGHT AROUND DECEMBER 6TH, AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FINAL

[02:20:01]

AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER THING I'LL SAY IS THEY HAD A FIRST READING OR A DISCUSSION OF WHAT THE MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE OUT THERE WITH THE NEW FACILITY THEY COVERED, YOU KNOW, DAILY PASSES, MEMBERSHIP FEES, RENTAL ROOMS, USAGE OF EVERYTHING, SCHOOL USAGE, ETC. IT WAS THEIR FIRST READING. BUT REALLY WHAT I'LL SHARE AT THIS POINT IS JUST TO REITERATE, IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, THE FACILITY WILL BE FREE, SO THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME ADDITIONAL FEES IF YOU'RE GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES OVER THERE, I DON'T KNOW. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT AS FAR AS USAGE OF THE FACILITY, IF YOU'RE WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, IT IS FREE, OUTSTANDING. I GET THAT QUESTION ALL THE TIME. YEP. SO DO I. ALL RIGHT. ANY UPDATE FROM NEW ALBANY PLAIN LOCAL SCHOOLS? YES. THERE WAS A MEETING LAST WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY, I HEARD A HORRIBLE RUMOR WHICH IS TRUE ABOUT. MR. ABOUT MICHAEL SAWYERS. HE. A LARGE TOPIC OF THE MEETING WAS ACCEPTING BEGRUDGINGLY HIS RESIGNATION. HE HAS ACCEPTED AN OFFER TO THE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CENTER AND WILL BE EXTREMELY MISSED. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS NOW OF TRYING TO FILL HIS WHAT THEY SAY MICKEY MOUSE SIZE SHOES. SO HE'S STILL UNDER CONTRACT UNTIL UNTIL JULY. SO HE IS HELPING WITH THAT PROCESS. ITEMS OF BUSINESS INCLUDED THE SCHOOL HANDBOOK. THEY'RE WORKING ON A SCHOOL HANDBOOK TO COVER EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, ATHLETICS AND ARTS PROGRAMS FOR SIX THROUGH 12.

NO, IT'S BETHANY'S BIRTHDAY, NOT MINE. I MEANT YES, BIRTHDAY. MINE WAS A MONTH AGO. WELL, HOPEFULLY SHE'S HOME ENJOYING SOME CAKE AND ICE CREAM. ALL RIGHT. ANY UPDATE FROM CITY MANAGER? JUST ONE REAL QUICK ITEM. GIVEN ALL OF THE ACTIVITY SURROUNDING THE SCHOOL, OUR TEAM AND THEIR TEAM HAVE MET. WE HAD A MEETING TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED LEASE AGREEMENT ON THE DISCOVER SITE LAST FRIDAY.

I KNOW THE BASEBALL FAMILIES ARE A LITTLE FRUSTRATED. I, YOU KNOW, HAVING A STUDENT, HAVING PLAYED INTO ALBANY WHEN SOME THINGS WERE UNDER REPAIR, WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO HAVE TO TRAVEL ALL THE TIME. AND CERTAINLY OUR BASEBALL COMMUNITY HAS DONE A HECK OF A JOB OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. BUT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TRIED TO ARREST PEOPLE'S CONCERNS A LITTLE BIT BY SAYING THAT THE FACILITY THAT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WILL BE FIRST IN CLASS. I MEAN, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THE BEST BASEBALL FACILITIES IN ALL OF CENTRAL OHIO. SO THAT THAT DOES HELP A LITTLE BIT. BUT LOSING
