>> I'M THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF SECURITY FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK. ALSO PRESENT IS KEITH FROM THE LAW FIRM ED ASHTON WITH FRITZ ENGINEERING AND THE ARCHITECTURE. WE ARE SEEKING PLAN APPROVAL FOR A NEW BANK BUILDING WITH OFFICE SPACE AND LEASE INCLUDED. IT INCLUDES A STRUCTURE AND DRIVE THROUGH ATM. IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF MICHIGAN ROAD, SOUTH OF WEST SIDE. IT'S CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED. 1.74 ACRES IN SIZE. IT'S 21 OVERLAY DISTRICT. WE SUBMITTED APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE. RELATED MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT . AND COMMITTEE HEARING. RESPECT REQUEST APPROVAL OF BOTH APPLICATIONS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES SINCE THE FALL OF 2022. WE MADE A NUMBER OF ADJUSTMENTS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND EXCITED TO PRESENT TO THE COMMISSION HERE.
WE HAVE SUBMITTED FERAL CLARIFICATIONS AND WE HOPE WE'VE ADDRESSED ALL COMMENTS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WORK TO CREATE A BANKING CENTER WITH MULTIPLE USES. BANKING CENTER ON THE FIRST FLOOR. SECOND FLOOR FOR OFFICE SPACE. THIRD FLOOR FOR OPERATIONAL SPACE. IN A COMMUNITY ROOM FOR TOP COMMUNITY AND BUSINESS USES. WE WORK TO PROVIDE FLEXIBLE PLACES FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE WANTED TO BE A FINANCIAL AND CONSUMER NEEDS AND THEY CAN UNDERSTAND FINANCES FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE THINK THE SPACE WILL BE VISUALLY APPEALING AND HAVE THE PROSPECT ON MICHIGAN ROAD. WE HOPE YOU WILL APPROVE THE VARIANCE.

[00:10:06]
EVENING AND OF AREAS. A COMBINATION HEARING FOR NEW BANK ON MICHIGAN ROAD. IT WILL BE A MULTI-TENANT BUILDING. OF THE VARIANCE ALLOWS THREE-STORY BUILDING ALONG MICHIGAN ROAD AND A MAXIMUM HEIGHT 47 FEET . A MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED IS 30 FEET. THE HEIGHT DOES EXCEED , THE BUILDING STEPS DOWN FOR TWO STORIES AND WE BELIEVE THE BUILDING WILL ADD VARIETY ALONG MICHIGAN ROAD CORRIDOR. WE HAVE REVIEWED THE PROJECT AND WHILE THE MAJORIT OF THE PROJECT MEET STANDARDS, THERE WERE ITEMS NOT COMPLIANCE AS MENTIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT. SINCE THE STAFF REPORT WAS COMPLETED, PETITIONER REVISED THEIR PLANS AND ADDRESSED IN COMMENTS. YOU HAVE THOSE IN FRONT OF YOU, THIS SEAT THING.WE WOULD RECOMMEND, AFTER YOU DISCUSSED APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT THIS EVENING , SUBMIT TO THE COMMITTEE FOR FINAL APPROVAL. TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE ITEMS IN THE REPORT , THEY INCREASE THE PARKING SPACE TO MEET THE OVERLAY STANDARDS. THEY SHOW THERE IS DRIVE THROUGH STACKING SPACES FOR ATM, WHICH IS REQUIRED. REDUCE THE PROPERTY LINE AND LIGHTING BY ADJUSTING THOSE FIXTURES. ADDITIVE WILL STOP A PARKING SPACES ADJACENT TO THE SIDEWALK SO CARS DON'T HANG OVER TO THE SIDEWALK SPACE. THEY REDUCED THE NUMBER OF SIGNS ON THE BUILDING. THEY MAY STILL WANT TO COME BACK FOR VARIANCE ON THAT. BED AT THIS POINT NOT REQUESTING THAT. AND NUMBER OF SIGNS THEY ARE SHOWING, WOULD BE PERMITTED.
>> WITH THAT WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTION. WE WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL THIS
EVENING. THANK YOU. >> THAT CLOSES A PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR THESE TWO DOCKETS.
DISCUSSION FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. >> ONE QUICK QUESTION. YOU ADJUSTED THE PARKING SPACE. WHAT DID YOU END UP GOING WITH THE NINE BY 20 OR 10 BY 18 , OR
HOW DID YOU MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT? >> I BELIEVE WE DID A COMBINATION DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE ON THE PARKING SPACE AREA. SOME ON THE NORTH SIDE AND WEST SIDE. WESTSIDE WE WENT WITH 10 BY 20. ADD ALONG BY THE NORTH SIDE, -- NINE BY 20 ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THEN 10 BY 18 ON THE NORTH SIDE.
>> GOOD EVENING . FRITZ ENGINEERING. OF THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE WAS REVISED TO NINE BY 20. THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING, NINE BY 20. IN SOUTH OF THE DRIVE-THROUGH LANES, WENT TO 10 BY 18. WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE ON THE SOUTH SIDE TO SHIFT .
>> THERE IS EXISTING THE SIDEWALK ALONG MICHIGAN ROAD. I THINK ALL OF THESE PORTIONS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. THERE ARE SOME IN DISREPAIR OR BREAK AN. CAN WE GET COMMITMENT IF THERE ARE PANELS ON MICHIGAN ROAD THAT NEED REPAIR, THEY COMMIT TO MAKE THOSE, IF THEY ARE NEEDED? I GUESS I ASK THAT FOR AFTER CONSTRUCTION. NORMALLY YOU INSTALL THE FRONT IS. ALREADY A SIDEWALK THERE. MIGHT BE VERY LITTLE TO NO WORK.
>> THAT WOULD REQUIRE COORDINATION. I HAVEN'T BLOCKED THAT SECTION TO KNOW WHAT
CONDITION THAT AREA IS IN. >> I DON'T THINK IT'S IN BAD DISREPAIR , COMPARED TO OTHER SECTIONS NORTH OF THERE. I WOULD HATE TO SEE A FINISHED PROJECT HAVE BROKEN PANELS OUT
IN FRONT . MAKE SURE THE ENTIRE SITE IS DRESSED UP . >> I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN ISSUE. I DO BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE PANEL WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE TO GET UTILITY SERVICE ACROSS THEIR. ANYONE THERE, AND OBVIOUSLY WILL REPLACE. IF IT'S MINOR, I
[00:15:05]
DON'T SEE THAT BEING AN ISSUE. WE ARE PROPOSING A SIDEWALK CONNECTION FROM THE BUILDING OUT TO THERE, AS WELL.421 RIGHT OF WAY. TECHNICALLY, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE WALK ?
>> I'M NOT SURE. IT'S NOT THE CITY RIGHT OF WAY. NORMALLY IT WOULD BE THE OWNER THAT
WOULD MAINTAIN THE SIDEWALK. I DON'T KNOW . >> JUST CURIOUS. THE STATE
WOULD PROBABLY BACK OFF AND NOT DO ANY OF IT. >> WHAT IS THE RULE ABOUT THE MANHOLE COVERS. DID THEY SEND A TEXT MESSAGE. THAT'S THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CLEAN
THAT UP. >> BRING IN THE RIGHT OF WAY IN THE LOCAL SYSTEM. WE ARE
HAPPY TO BACK AWAY FROM ANY AND ALL OF THAT. >> RIGHT. I WAS HOPING FOR A BETTER ANSWER THAN THE ONE I GOT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS FOR THE PETITIONER? GUIDANCE TO THE COMMITTEE, IF THAT'S WHERE THE BODY CHOOSES TO SEND IT.
>> I WOULD MOVE WE APPROVED THE REVISED PLAN PRESENTED THIS EVENING, SUBJECT TO THE
SIDEWALK AMENDMENT. APPROVE THIS . >> SECOND.
>> I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO SUSPEND OUR RULES SO WE CAN TAKE OUR ACTION THIS EVENING.
>> SO MID- . >> SECOND. >> I WANT TO BE CLEAR WE HAVE YOUR COMMITMENT ON THE SIDEWALKS? IF THERE WAS A MINOR, THIS OR THAT.
>> WE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT. WE WANT TO LOOK INTO A NUMBER OF DOLLARS IN THAT AREA.
>> I WANTED TO HAVE THAT ON THE RECORD >> IT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
COMMISSIONER HILL POINTED OUT, NO ONE'S GONNA STOP YOU FROM FIXING A SIDEWALK .
>> CAN I ADD ANOTHER CONDITION. I FORGOT TO MENTION EARLIER. ONE OF THE REQUEST WAS TO EXTEND THE SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF BUILDING TO THE PROPERTY LINE TO CONNECT DOWN TO THE PROPERTY. WHICH THEY DID. WE WOULD ASK THEM TO WORK WITH THAT PROPERTY OWNER TO MAKE THE CONNECTION ALL THE WAY. THERE WOULD BE A SMALL SECTION MISSING BETWEEN THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE SIDEWALK FOR THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. IT'S ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THEY ADDED A SIDEWALK CONNECTION RIGHT THERE. AND THEN THE SIDEWALK
ALONG OF THIS PROPERTY. JUST CONNECT THAT LITTLE PIECE. >> YEAH, WE MADE THE SIDEWALK CONNECTION ON MICHIGAN ROAD AND RED ROAD. KINDRED CARE IS NORTH OF US. THEY STUBBED THEIR SIDEWALK TO THE PROPERTY LINE. WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION. SOUTH OF US IS CHRISTIAN BROTHERS AUTOMOTIVE. THEY DID NOT STUBBED THEIR CONNECTION. WE SHOW OUR PLAN STUBBING TO THEM. WE DIDN'T WANT TO SHOW SIDEWALK ON THEIR PROPERTY UNTIL WE GOT A CHANCE
TO WORK WITH THEM. >> YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM, IF THEY DON'T HAVE A FUSS ?
>> FOUR FEET OR SO. >> WOULD YOU LET LEX KNOW IF THEY HAVE A FUSS ?
>> YES . >> WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE TO SUSPEND THE RULES. ALL IN FAVOR. DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION . ON SUSPENDING THE RULES?
>> WHY DIDN'T THE STAFF DECIDE TO RECOMMEND WE SUSPEND THE RULES. WHY DID YOU THINK IT NEEDED TO GO TO COMMITTEE. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO GO TO COMMITTEE, BASED ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION. I DIDN'T STUDY THIS TO TO THE DEGREE THAT I TYPICALLY WOULD HAVE . IF IT'S
[00:20:01]
GONNA GO DIRECTLY THROUGH APPROVAL. >> AT THE TIME, THEY HADN'T REVISED EVERYTHING. THERE WAS STILL SOME OUTSTANDING ISSUES FROM THE ORDINANCE. SINCE WRITING THE REPORT, THEY MADE ALL THE CHANGES WE REQUESTED , SO I DON'T HAVE OUTSTANDING
ISSUES NOW . >> SO YOU ARE FINE WITH DOING IT THIS WAY
>> YES . >> ALL IN FAVOR OF SUSPENDING THE RULES SAY AYE . YOU DO OPPOSE. 8-1, RULES SUSPENDED.
APPROVE DOCKETS 237. AND 24 EIGHT V. >> MAKING THE SIDEWALK REPAIRS AND EXTENDING THE PEDESTRIAN ROCK TO MEET THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS SIDEWALK. ALL IN FAVOR
SAY AYE . ANY OPPOSED? >> AYE. >> THE MOTION IS CARRIED 8-1.
BOTH PETITIONS ARE APPROVED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.
[I. Old Business ]
>> TURNING TO OLD BUSINESS ONE ITEM DOCKET 237 DB/ A COUPLE D L S. DESIGN APPROVAL FOR A NEW THREE-STORY MEDICAL BUILDING. THE SITE IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF ILLINOIS STREET AND PITTMAN WAY. THE FUTURE ADDRESS WILL BE ILLINOIS STREET. IT'S NOT IN ANY OVERLAY DISTRICT. ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER, CORNERSTONE COMPANIES. MR. WINSLOW, WELCOME BACK. THE FLOOR IS YOURS TO CATCH US UP ON ACTIVITY SINCE WE LAST SAW
YOU HERE . >> ABSOLUTELY. NATHAN WINSLOW WITH AMERICAN STRUCTURE POINT, FOR THERE RECORD. A QUICK HIGH-LEVEL RECAP BASED ON COMMERCIAL COMMITTEE MEETING WHERE WE LEFT OFF LAST TIME. I'M NOT GOING TO REHASH EVERYTHING. HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WE GO. WE REQUEST THE LAST MEETING WAS TO SHOW OVERALL SITE PLAN FOR APARTMENTS. WE HAVE SINCE IS ZOOMED OUT TO SHOW THAT RELATION. OUR SITE IS THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY . CORNERSTONE DEVELOPMENT BY ESSENTIALLY THE EAST HALF . EASED OF THE SPINE ROAD . EVERYTHING TO THE WEST OF THAT. HOPEFULLY THIS GIVES CONTACT TO THE OVERALL SITE AS YOU SEE IT. DETENTION POND WILL BE ON THE SOUTH END. AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE ARE DEVELOPING THE NORTH PORTION OF THIS. SOME PARKING WAS DISCUSSED IN COMMERCIAL MEETING. THIS IS WITH THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING. PART OF THE INTENT IS TO SERVE FUTURE BUILDOUT OF THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THIS PARCEL. IT WILL BECOME A SHARED PARKING. WE HAVE ADDED TO OUR PACKAGE TO DISCUSS COMMERCIAL COMMITTEE MEETING , ELEVATION OF PROPOSED DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE TO SHOW PROPOSED BUILDING , AS WELL AS A BRICK MASONRY . FULL METAL GATE AND SCREEN DOOR. YOU SHOULD ALL HAVE THIS IN YOUR PACKETS, AS WELL. ALSO ADDED A RENDERING VIEW FROM , I'LL POINT IT OUT ON THE SITE PLAN. IT WILL BE TAKEN FROM THE TOP LEVEL WINDOW . THIS APARTMENT UNIT, LOOKING TO THE EAST, OVER THE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING. THE INTENT OF THIS EXHIBIT AND ONE ITEM EXPRESSED IN THE INITIAL HEARING, IT WILL BE A SCREEN. A SCREEN FROM THE GROUND LEVEL BUT SCREEN FROM UPPER-LEVEL APARTMENT . WE FEEL THIS RENDERING HELPS PROVE THAT WILL BE SCREENED . EVERYTHING WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT. ONE OTHER EXHIBIT PRESENTED AT THE COMMERCIAL COMMITTEE MEETING, AS WELL, WAS TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING. THAT'S ALONG THE
[00:25:02]
INTERNAL SPINE ROAD . WE DIDN'T SHOW ALL THE LANDSCAING, THAT WASN'T PART OF THE PROJECT. WE TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT THEY ARE CONSTRUCT THING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE SPINE ROAD FOR STREET TREES. WE ARE FOCUSED ON THE NORTHERN PORTION. WE WILL CONTINUE THE SOUTH , AS TIME PERMITS. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE AMOUNT OF TREES WE ARE PROVIDING ON OUR SIDE.AND NOT IDENTICAL IN EVERY CASE. HOWEVER, THE DENSITY IS QUITE HIGH , RELATIVE TO STREET TREES. I HOPE YOU FIND THAT A MEMORABLE. THIS IS A LETTER THAT ORIGINATED FROM STEVE PITTMAN . CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE OWNERS OF THE CURRENT BRIDGES DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH. WE HEARD A CONCERN LAST TIME WAS THE MAINTENANCE OF THE DRAINAGE PONDS. EXTENSIVE CORRESPONDENCE TO GET THOSE RECTIFIED. I BELIEVE WE HAD SOME FRUITFUL DISCUSSIONS .
WITH THAT, THE OTHER COMMITMENT WE DID MAKE AT THE COMMERCIAL COMMITTEE MEETING, WAS TO PROVIDE, IN LIEU OF, INDOOR, BICYCLE PARKING. WE COMMITTED TO HAVE A OUTDOOR, COVERED BICYCLE PARKING. WE ARE STILL WORKING WITH THE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR , TO FIND OF THE BEST POSSIBLE STRUCTURE FEATURE TO ACCOMMODATE THEY THAT . WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS THAT. ARCHITECTURAL PLANS HAVE INCLUDED ONE INTERIOR SHOWER AND CHANGING FACILITY. WE DON'T ANTICIPATE A LOT OF ICICLE COMMUNICATORS , BUT GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE FACILITY, WE ARE COMPLYING WITH THAT . WITH THAT, I WILL TURN
IT BACK TO YOU. ANY QUESTIONS, WITH THE ARCHITECT. >> CAN WE HEAR FROM THE
COMMERCIAL COMMITTEE? >> YES. THE REPORTS GIVEN BY BOTH THE STAFF AND PETITIONER ARE PRETTY ACCURATE. I WANT TO EXPAND ON THAT A LITTLE BIT. ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION. I DID CHECK WITH STAFF. WE HAVE REDUCE THE HEIGHT OF THE LIGHT POLES FROM 25 TO 20.
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP . OF THAT WAS AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART IN THE MEMORANDUM.
I DO HAVE AN EXHIBIT. WE DID REDUCE THAT. >> STAFF SAID THE SAME THING, I JUST WANTED YOU TO SAY IT, AS WELL. THE BIKE PARKING AND SHOWER WAS WHAT WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME DISCUSSING. WE THOUGHT IT WAS REASONABLE TO HAVE SHELTERED OUTDOOR PARKING AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS A CREATIVE SOLUTION TO THE SHOWER SCENARIO THAT THEY DECIDE. WE THINK WE CAME TO A GOOD SOLUTION WITH THAT. PROBLEM IS SOLVED. WE ALSO PETITION THE PETITIONER FOR WHAT HE'S REFERRING TO AS SPINE ROAD , PLANNING COMMISSION WAY. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD, EXCEPT , IF YOU CAN CLARIFY ALONG THE OUTDOOR COVERED BIKING SCENARIO, IT'S A MATTER INFLUX AND GOING TO BE RESOLVED WITH TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR, WILL YOU HAVE A SPOT ON THE PLAN WHERE YOU CAN POINT OUT WHERE IT WILL GO ?
>> I WILL POINT OUT WHERE WE ARE PROPOSING TO PUT IT. WE ARE CONTINUING TO COORDINATE WITH THE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR. WE ARE PROPOSING THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING. WE THOUGHT THAT WAS A REASONABLE LOCATION THAT CAN BE PROVIDED. NOT BLOCKING A
WINDOW. IT WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A STRUCTURE OUTSIDE . >> I DIDN'T HEAR COMMITMENT
ABOUT PLANNING COMMISSION WAY. IT'S NOT FLYING? >> OKAY TALK TO JIMMY HERE.
>> I FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT THE WORK WE PUT INTO IT. >> THANK YOU.
>> THE LANDSCAPING ALONG THE NORTH AND SOUTH SPINE DRIVE. ARE THERE EVERGREEN TREES ALONG THE WEST PROPERTY LINE ? DON'T THINK WE HAVE EVERGREENS CURRENTLY PLANNED FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE.
>> DOUBLE CHECK . I DON'T THINK THOSE ARE EVERGREENS, MORE ORNAMENTAL STYLE TREES.
[00:30:08]
>> ANY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THAT STREET? >> THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE
ARE. >> OBVIOUSLY, WINTERTIME, SCREENING OF THE PARKING AREA .
NOT A SHOWSTOPPER FOR ME. BUT IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS .
WORK WITH THE URBAN FORRESTER TO A POINT, THAT WOULD BE BETTER.
>> WE CAN DO THAT. WHAT YOU ARE SEEING ON THE PLAN, REPRESENTED IN THE COLOR DIAGRAM, IS PRIMARILY THE TREES, THERE WILL BE EXTENSIVE SHRUBBERY AND BUSHES. VISIBLE
ON THE DRY IN AND WILL SHIELD THE HEADLIGHTS OF CARS . >> THIS IS THE FIRST PLAN OF MANY THAT WILL COME TO US. I JUST WANT TO THROW THE REQUEST OUT THERE. PLANS CONTINUE TO FLEX ON LANDSCAPING. IF MORE EVERGREENS CAN BE IN THERE, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. ALONG
THE STREET KNOWN AS PLANNING COMMISSION WAY. >> DEPARTMENT REPORT .
>> THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD. UPDATED COMMENTS RELATED TO THE BIKE PARKING AND INDOOR FACILITIES . MAKING SURE WE APPROVE THAT AND WE GET A COMMITMENT FOR THE BUILDING.
I DON'T SEE THE CHANGE YET , WHEN THEY SUBMITTED. AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR ON THE OUTDOOR STORAGE FOR LONG-TERM BIKE PARKING.
>> THANK YOU. >> DISCUSSION FROM THE COMMISSION ?
>> A QUESTION. IT SHOWS ON THIS EXHIBIT OR THE OTHER ONE MIGHT SHOW BETTER . IT JUST SO I'M CLEAR. DRIVING EXTENSION FACILITY WOULD BE CONSTRUCT DID WITH THIS PROJECT ?
>> I ASSUME YOU ARE REFERRING TO THIS. THAT IS CORRECT . CURRENTLY ON THIS SITE , THIS LOCATION THERE IS A LARGE STOCKPILE OF DIRT. AS PART OF THE PROJECT, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO ELIMINATE AND SPREAD THAT OUT FOR THIS CONSTRUCTION. OUR INTENT IS TO SPREAD THAT OVER THE SITE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. UNDERSTANDING REQUIREMENTS OF DISTURBING OF EARTH, AT TEMPORARY DRIVE AND FREE TO DEVELOP THAT PORTION .
>> A FUTURE WET BASEMENT? >> MOST LIKELY UNDERGROUND DETENTION. I DON'T THINK YOU ARE HERE AT THE LAST MEETING. DETENTION IS INDEPENDENT FOR THE NORTHERN PORTION.
UNDERGROUND DETENTION PLAN OF THE PARKING LOT. ESSENTIALLY, SELF-SUSTAINING. ANY FEATURES LOCATED FROM THE SOUTHERN POINT . IT WILL BE MORE ADVANTAGEOUS TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY DRIVE .
>> MY QUESTION IS UNDERSTANDING THAT'S BEING CONSTRUCT DID NOW. MY QUESTION IS ACCESS EASEMENT OF SOME SORT . A TIMELINE OF HOW LONG IT WILL BE THERE. IS THERE A DRIVEWAY OFF OF 111 TO GET TO THAT OR DRIVE OVER THE CURB OR SIDEWALK ENTRIES?
>> VERY GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T HAVE A FIRM ANSWER ON THAT. WE WILL WORK THROUGH THAT.
HOWEVER, THE SPINE ROAD SITE, ACCESS COMING OFF OF THAT . WE ARE NOT PLANNING TO CURB THAT PORTION IMMEDIATELY. IT WILL GET BILLED OUT . IT WILL PROVIDE A NICE ACCESS POINT TO GET DOWN TO THAT. I WOULD SAY GAINING ACCESS OFF 111 PROBABLY VERY UNLIKELY. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF UTILITIES. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THAT. AT LEAST THAT'S NOT OUR
INTENT. >> WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO COMMIT THE ACCESS WOULD NOT BE
THERE IN YOUR OPINION? >> I WOULD BE OKAY TO COMMIT TO NO ACCESS.
>> MAKE SURE THE CITY DOESN'T END UP WITH A BROKEN CURB. SEEMS REASONABLE TO COME FROM THE NORTH. THE OTHER THING I HEARD YOU MENTIONED IS OVER PARK AND THAT PARKING WOULD BE SHARED PARKING FOR THE FUTURE PROJECT TO THE SOUTH. YOU KNOW IF THAT CROSSED FROM NORTH TO
[00:35:07]
SOUTH . ANYTHING WE NEED TO DO FOR SAFE PASSAGE? >> AS OF RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE INTERNAL CROSSING WOULD BE. THIS IS ON THE PERIMETER AND NOT INTERNAL. THERE WILL BE A PATH THAT COMES DOWN ILLINOIS STREET. ALSO A PATH OR SIDEWALK THAT WILL COME DOWN THIS ROAD KNOWN AS PLANNING COMMISSION WAY. FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS AS A STANDARD REQUIREMENT FROM THE CITY, WE WILL BE PROVIDING SOME KIND OF INTERNAL ACCESS. THAT'S GOING TO BE LARGELY BASED ON WHERE THIS ENDS UP .
>> I HAD A SIMILAR THOUGHT IN COMMITTEE . WHERE I STOPPED, WAS THE NATURE OF THE SOUTH LOT
IS UNDETERMINED , RIGHT NOW. >> I GET THAT. I WANT TO AVOID THE NEXT COMMISSIONER CUMMINGS
SAYING I DIDN'T HAVE A RAMP. THAT PROJECTS ALREADY DONE. >> I THINK THERE WILL STILL BE PEOPLE ON THE HOOK. I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARILY OUR STAFF. STEVE HAS A COMMITMENT TO MAKE THIS A BETTER SITE . I DON'T GET THE SENSE NOW THAT THIS PETITIONER IS GOING TO BE GONE, ROOM RIGHT AWAY. I'M NOT TRYING TO SELL IT FOR HIM. THAT'S MY THOUGHTS.
>> RECOGNIZE THE MEETING LAST MONTH. >> ALSO, IF THIS HELPS, THE ENTIRE BRIDGE HAS LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENT MANDATE , THE BERM AND LANDSCAPING THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THE STREET. TO TAKE THAT SHORTCUT WOULD IN SOME WAY, VIOLATE THE
LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS. >> OTHER DISCUSSION FROM THE FULL COMMISSION. IF NOT, IS
THERE A MOTION ? >> I MOTION TO APPROVE . >> SECOND.
>> MOVED AND SECONDED THAT WE APPROVE DOCKET 237. MEDICAL OFFICE OF THE BRIDGES . ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. IN A POST. MOTION CARRIES. PLAN IS APPROVED .
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVED TO ADJOURN. >> IF YOU HAVE SOME VENUES TO GO IN JOY , LET'S HAVE A HAPPY MARDI GRAS. WE WILL BE ADJOURNED, THANK
