[REPORT OF CLERK OF COUNCIL]
DO HAVE ONE ITEM FOR TONIGHT. COUNCIL HAS RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM FOR A LIQUOR PERMIT FOR CHIPOTLE, WHICH IS TO BE LOCATED AT 1415 WEST WEST FIFTH STREET IN MARYSVILLE. SO THAT'S IN BETWEEN MCDONALD'S AND KROGER. AND IT'S A NEW REQUEST, OBVIOUSLY. AND I TOUCHED BASE WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THERE AREN'T ANY CONCERNS. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY CONCERNS? ALL[PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT]
RIGHT. THANK YOU. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT MR. HOYT. THANK YOU. I'M JUST READING OFF OF THESE. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK. BUT I WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE TO GET ANSWERS FROM SOMEONE ELSE. SO FOR PLANNING COMMISSION NEW BUSINESS, IT WAS TO HEAR AN APPLICATION FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT KNOWN AS THE TRAILS AT WEAVER ROAD DEVELOPMENT, LOCATED AT 14 373 WEAVER ROAD, AND THAT THAT REQUEST WAS TABLED. THE BOARD HAS ASKED FOR SOME SITE LAYOUT ADJUSTMENTS, AND THE APPLICANT WILL REVISE AND RESUBMIT AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. AND THEN FINALLY, THERE WAS AN APPLICATION FOR AN AMENDMENT TO A PUD KNOWN AS MARYSVILLE EAST SECTION ONE. THERE'S A LOT OF PARCEL NUMBERS, BUT I DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM LIKE MCKENZIE DOES. AND THAT WAS APPROVED. SIX YES. ONE NO. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S ON THE AGENDA TONIGHT AS IT RELATES TO DESIGN REVIEW BOARD. I'LL TRY TO GO THROUGH THESE. THIS IS A VERY LENGTHY LIST. SO FOR THE HOME IMPROVEMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS, THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS WERE APPROVED SIX. YES ZERO. NO 507 WEST EIGHTH STREET 426 WEST SIXTH STREET. 201 COLLINGWOOD DRIVE. 1374 LONDON AVENUE. 555 LINDEN STREET. 321. WILDERNESS ROAD 127 SOUTH MAIN STREET AND 129 SOUTH MAIN STREET. THERE WERE TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA FOR OLD BUSINESS. ONE WAS AN EXTERIOR PLAN, LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THE STRUCTURE AT 813 WEST FOURTH STREET, AND THAT WAS[00:20:03]
APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS FOR YES TO NO. AS WELL. THERE WAS A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS IN THE HISTORIC DESIGN REVIEW DISTRICT. THIS IS FOR A PROPOSED WALL SIGN LOCATED AT 130 NORTH MAIN STREET THAT ALSO WAS APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS SIX YES, ZERO NO, AND THEN ON TO NEW BUSINESS. THERE'S A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS IN THE HISTORIC DESIGN REVIEW DISTRICT FOR EXTERIOR EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS AT 121 123 EAST FIFTH STREET. THAT WAS APPROVED SIX. YES. ZERO. NO. AN APPLICATION FOR EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS AT 203 EAST FIFTH STREET WAS ALSO APPROVED. SIX. YES. ZERO. NO. AS WELL. AT 211 EAST FIFTH STREET, A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS WAS TABLED AND THAT WAS TABLED. SIX. YES. ZERO. NO. SO THAT'LL BE BACK ON HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH'S AGENDA. THERE WAS ALSO EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED AT 404 EAST FIFTH STREET THAT WAS APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS SIX. YES ZERO NO. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS. LOCATED AT 127 AND 129 SOUTH MAIN STREET THAT ALSO WAS APPROVED SIX. YES ZERO. NO. AN APPLICATION FOR EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS AT 129 NORTH MAIN STREET. APPROVED. SIX. YES. ZERO. NO.

AND FINALLY, THERE WAS AN APPLICATION FOR AN EXTERIOR PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR A PROPOSED COMMERCIAL MULTI-TENANT BUILDING LOCATED ON US OR US 36 THAT WAS APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS SIX. YES. ZERO. NO. AFTER READING ALL THIS, I'M ASSUMING THE MEETING LASTED FOUR HOURS, BUT I CANNOT CONFIRM THAT. BUT THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF INVESTMENT IN THE UPTOWN IS THE KEY, SO THAT'S GOOD. SINCE JEREMY TOLD US HE MIGHT NOT BE THE EXPERTISE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I WOULD ASK THAT COUNCIL MAYBE HOLD OFF ON QUESTIONS AND EMAILING OR REACHING OUT TO ASHLEY GABER OR ANYBODY IN THE ZONING DEPARTMENT. UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY.
I THINK THAT, IF I MAY, IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A QUESTION OF MR. HOYT. SO IT'S MORE OF A COMMENT THAT AS IT PERTAINS TO THE TRAILS AT WEAVER RIDGE, THERE WAS AN EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM A CONSTITUENT WITH SOME CONCERNS. THE INDIVIDUAL HAD GONE TO A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING IN MAY AND MADE SOME SUGGESTIONS AS IT PERTAINS TO THE GENERAL LAYOUT AND ENTRANCE OF THE OF THE FACILITY. SO I DID FORWARD THAT CONCERN OVER TO CITY STAFF, AND IF WE COULD OR IF YOU COULD SUPPORT AND ADDRESSING THAT INDIVIDUAL'S CONCERNS, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT AS WELL. I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT. WE HAD WE DID DISCUSS THAT TODAY.
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS, AND WE'LL BE FOLLOWING BACK UP WITH THE RESIDENT. THERE MAY BE SOME ISSUES ABOUT ROAD FRONTAGE THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM ONE END OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE TO THE OTHER ALONG WEAVER ROAD, JUST BECAUSE ONE END IS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS AND THE OTHER SIDE IS INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS. SO THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH YOU AND MAKE MAKE YOU FULLY AWARE, AND WE CAN DO THE SAME WITH THE INDIVIDUAL. OKAY. THANKS SO MUCH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. HEARING OF CITIZENS, IS THERE ANY CITIZEN HAS UP TO FIVE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON ANYTHING THAT'S NOT RELATED TO TONIGHT'S AGENDA? HEARING? NONE. ORDINANCE A SECOND

INTRODUCTION TO APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A ZONING AMENDMENT.APPLICATION TO REVISE THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE MARYSVILLE EAST SECTION ONE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION. I'M GOING TO DEFER TO MR. BARRICK TO PROVIDE A PRESENTATION ON THE MARYSVILLE EAST SECTION ONE. BARBARIC ROCKFORD DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS, 5979 DUBLIN ROAD. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO DEFER TO ERIN UNDERHILL TONIGHT. THANK YOU. MARK. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS ERIN UNDERHILL. I'M AN ATTORNEY AT UNDERHILL AND HODGE AT 8000 WALTON PARKWAY IN NEW ALBANY, OHIO. I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATE, THE MARYSVILLE LAND COMPANY, WHO HAS BEEN PARTNERING WITH RTI THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS. IN MARYSVILLE, WHERE WE'RE CREATING THIS NEW INNOVATION DISTRICT. AND THIS IS AN EXPANSION OF SUCH AS A PART OF THE MARYSVILLE EAST PUD.
WE'RE CALLING THIS SECTION ONE B. A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE HERE, BUT WE HAVE 307 JUST ABOUT ACRES HERE. THIS THIS SUBJECT SITE, WHICH IS JUST NORTH OF PROPERTY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ANNEXED AS PART OF MARYSVILLE EAST, AND IT IS ALONG SOUTHERN BOUNDARY IS WATKINS ROAD. ITS NORTHERN BOUNDARY IS THE OLD RAILROAD TRACKS THERE, AND ON THE EAST SIDE IT'S JOLLY ROAD.
WE HAVE. I WANTED TO POINT OUT ALSO YOU CAN SEE BETTER ON THIS SCREEN IN THE BLUE THERE ARE NINE DIFFERENT PROPERTIES THAT ARE SORT OF MISSING TEETH, SO TO SPEAK, FROM PREVIOUS ANNEXATIONS AND ZONINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO CLEAN UP HERE ALONG WITH THIS ZONING, TO, TO MAKE THEM CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED PREVIOUSLY. AND THAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT AS WE LOOK TO FUTURE ROAD CONNECTIONS, ETC, AND HAVING CONTROL OF THOSE PARCELS TO MAKE SURE THE CIRCULATION IN THE AREA WORKS WELL. AND OBVIOUSLY, AS WE'VE SAID THROUGHOUT THESE PREVIOUS ZONINGS, THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY TIMES THESE PROJECTS WILL BE IN FRONT OF CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. WE'RE KIND OF SETTING THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT HERE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT, BUT THERE'LL BE OBVIOUSLY DESIGN REVIEWS OR PARTICULAR PROJECTS WHEN THEY COME THROUGH, AS WELL AS PLANNING PROCESSES FOR THE NEW ROADS THAT I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. THIS SECTION ONE B UP HERE ON THE KIND OF DEMONSTRATES IN CONTEXT WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE, AND THAT THIS IS IN ADDITION TO A LOT OF OTHER PROPERTY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ANNEXED AND ZONED, A LOT OF IT FOR THIS INNOVATION DISTRICT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, OTHERS FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
YOU'LL NOTICE 68 ACRES OF GREEN SPACE WITHIN THIS AREA. THAT'S THE SUBJECT OF ZONING TONIGHT.
PROTECTING STREAMS THERE AND PROVIDING I THINK IT'S 175 FOOT WIDE PROTECTION AREA FOR THAT RESOURCE. SO, YOU KNOW, A PRETTY GOOD SIZE COMMITMENT THERE TO MAINTAIN QUITE A BIT OF ACREAGE WITHIN THAT AREA. WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME, ESPECIALLY EARLY ON WITH THE PUDS, DEFINING THE TYPES OF USES THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED. THE ONES THAT ARE IN RED HERE ARE EXCLUDED AND NOT PERMITTED IN THIS DISTRICT, BUT THE INCLUDED USES ARE ARE IN THE BLUE OR BLACK THERE. WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO GET AT ARE SORT OF SOME ADVANCED TYPE USES, AS WE WOULD CALL THEM, SOME MORE TECHNOLOGY RELATED USES. LIFE SCIENCES, SEMICONDUCTORS, EV ECOSYSTEMS. BUT, YOU KNOW, DATA CENTERS COULD BE A PART OF THIS. BUT THESE ARE THE REALLY THE DRIVERS OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN
[00:30:02]
THE MARKETPLACE IN TERMS OF IN THE NEW ALBANY AREA, WHICH WE KEEP REFERENCING, BUT WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO EMULATE HERE WITH ALL OF THE ACREAGE THERE. WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF INVESTMENT FROM, FOR INSTANCE, AMGEN. AND SO WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF INTEREST FROM THESE TYPES OF USES THAT ARE SORT OF ADVANCED IN HIGHER END AND R&D. AND OUR HOPE IS TO HAVE THOSE BE ATTRACTED TO THIS AREA AS WELL. ALL OF THIS IS PART OF A MASTER PLANNING EFFORT WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF ACREAGE. IT REALLY OPENS UP A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY, AND WE DON'T SEE THIS AS A SITE BY SITE DEVELOPMENT. IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE MASTER PLANNED AS WE KEEP MOVING ALONG. BUT REALLY THE, THE THING THAT MAKES THESE TYPES OF PROJECTS SO SUCCESSFUL IS HAVING ALL OF THE TOOLS IN PLACE TO BE READY TO REACT TO A PROJECT WHEN IT COMES AND HAVING ZONING IN PLACE, AND SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS LIKE THIS NEW COMMUNITY AUTHORITY THAT'S BEEN CREATED HERE. AND WE'LL HELP HELP DEVELOPMENT SORT OF PAY ITS OWN WAY AND, AND REALLY MAKE A LARGE CONTRIBUTION TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE. THESE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT TO HAVE IN PLACE TO BE IN THE GAME WITH THESE SORTS OF OPPORTUNITIES. THIS SHOWS THE PROJECT IN SOME MORE CONTEXT. YOU'LL SEE OVER TO THE EAST OF US AND SOUTHEAST. SCARY. SO WE, YOU KNOW, THE TREES BEING PRESERVED HERE THROUGHOUT THE SITE, YOU KNOW, QUITE A BIT OF A COMMITMENT THERE. AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, AS WE GO TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST, WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT. SO HARD TO SEE HERE, BUT ON THE SOUTH, WE ARE COMMITTING TO A 50 FOOT BUFFER AREA, AND THERE'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT EXISTING TREE LINE THERE THAT WE WILL BE PRESERVING. AND ON THE EAST SIDE, WHICH IS OVER ON JOLLY ROAD, WE WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING, BUT WE WILL HAVE A 100 FOOT BUFFER WITH PROTECTING THE TREES. YOU CAN SEE IT SORT OF ON THE RIGHT THERE. WE'LL PROTECT THOSE TREES AS WELL. AND WE'RE ADDING MOUNDING THAT'S ABOUT 5 TO 7 FOOT IN HEIGHT WITH PLANTINGS ON TOP. THE TOP ILLUSTRATION KIND OF DEMONSTRATES LOOKING INTO THE SITE FROM EAST, GOING WESTWARD, WHAT THAT MAY LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE. I KNOW BART WENT OUT AND TOOK SOME PICTURES OF THESE TREES TO DEMONSTRATE. YOU KNOW THEY DO. THEY ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. THEY'RE, I THINK, ABOUT 30 TO 35 FOOT IN HEIGHT IN MANY PLACES, AND CERTAINLY ARE ANOTHER AMENITY FOR THE SITE THAT I THINK SERVES THE SITE WELL, BUT ALSO PROVIDES SOME NATURAL SCREENING. THERE'S ANOTHER LOOK AT IT. WE ARE TRYING TO GET A MEETING SET UP NEXT WEEK WITH INTERESTED NEIGHBORS TO JUST LIKE WE DID IN PREVIOUS ZONINGS WITH, FOR INSTANCE, WITH THE BUXTON MEADOWS RESIDENTS. WE FEEL IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HEAR THEIR CONCERNS. SOME MEETINGS HAVE HAPPENED ALREADY, BUT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AND SO WE HAVE OFFERED TO HAVE A MORE IN-DEPTH MEETING WITH INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS, WHICH WE ARE TRYING TO GET SCHEDULED, BUT WE HOPE WILL BE NEXT WEEK. SO WE EXPECT THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS TO BE MADE BASED ON THOSE COMMENTS. AND WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU, WE WILL CERTAINLY BE COMMITTING TO AT LEAST THIS, BUT WE MAY HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO COMMIT TO AS WELL THAT ARE MORE PARTICULAR TO THOSE CONCERNS THAT THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN MORE DEPTH NEXT WEEK.SO WITH THAT, I WANTED TO KEEP IT VERY BRIEF. I THINK THIS IS A LOT MORE OF THE SAME. AND IT'S VERY EXCITING TO REALLY KIND OF PUT THIS NEXT PIECE IN PLACE TO INCREASE THE ACREAGE HERE, TO REALLY MAKE A, A MEANINGFUL, BRING A MEANINGFUL ELEMENT TO WHAT IS ALSO A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS PARK THAT WE'RE CREATING HERE AND LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE FUTURE.
SO. THIS IS OUR CITY LAW DIRECTOR. THIS IS ABOUT THE ANNEXATION, NOT ABOUT ZONING OR ANY OR ANYTHING ELSE. CORRECT? NO. YEAH. THIS IS ZONING. THIS IS ANNEXATION. DO WE DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE GENTLEMAN TONIGHT? BUT YOU WANT TO GO? OKAY, LADY. OKAY. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A QUESTION, BUT A. I AGAIN NEED TO COMPLIMENT YOU ON WHAT YOU WERE ABLE TO DO WITH THE OTHER PROPERTY SOUTH. YEAH. BECAUSE AND I WAS ACTUALLY EXPECTING ALMOST A FULL ROOM TODAY FOR INTRODUCTION BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY NEIGHBORS THAT HAD CONCERNS. AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE. AND YOU MAKE A YOU MADE A PLEDGE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE. AND WE STATED THIS ALSO WITH THE OTHER ONES. WE WANT TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS, AND OBVIOUSLY, WE WANT YOU TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS
[00:35:05]
AND BE PERCEIVED AS GOOD NEIGHBORS, WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO WITH THE OTHER ONE.SO DEFINITELY, I HOPE THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS ROOM EMPTY. THAT MEANS THAT YOU YOU'VE MADE THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS AND PROMISES TO DO WHAT IT IS TO ELIMINATE THE CONCERNS THAT CITIZENS HAVE OUT THERE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. APPRECIATE IT. AND WE'RE COMMITTED TO KEEP THAT DIALOG OPEN HERE. AND EVEN EVEN BEYOND THE ZONING. SO OKAY. THANK YOU.
YEAH. I THINK FOR ME, I JUST WANT TO KIND OF REITERATE MR. BARBEE'S POINTS. SO BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2023, WHEN I WAS FIRST VOTED IN TO SERVE ON COUNCIL, I ACTUALLY IT WAS A SUNDAY, PROBABLY NOVEMBER 13TH, 18TH, SOMEWHERE IN THAT TIMELINE. IT WAS A PRETTY COLD, RAINY DAY, BUT I WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE ZONING FOR THE INITIAL PHASE OF MARYSVILLE EAST FOR THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. AND IF YOU RECALL, THE BUXTON MEADOWS FOLKS THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS WITH THE 600 ACRES, I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY. I THINK IT WAS ROUGHLY 605, 95 SOMEWHERE IN THERE. BUT, YOU KNOW, I WALKED THE ACREAGE WITH ROUGHLY 60 OF THE RESIDENTS KIND OF ADDRESS OR GOT THEIR CONCERNS AND FED THOSE FORWARD, OBVIOUSLY, WITH THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. AND YOU ALL DID A PHENOMENAL JOB KIND OF WORKING WITH THE RESIDENTS AND, YOU KNOW, MAKING ACCOMMODATIONS WHERE REASONABLY POSSIBLE. AND I'M LOOKING AT A NOTE HERE THAT WAS EMAILED, AND I'M SURE THAT YOU'VE PROBABLY RECEIVED IT, BUT THERE ARE APPEARS TO BE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE. LOCATIONS TIMES TWO. SO TEN PEOPLE RIGHT NOW ON JOLLY ROAD THAT HAVE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS AS IT PERTAINS TO THE EXISTING. INDUSTRIAL ZONING. SO IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THOSE RESIDENTS IN THE SAME FASHION THAT WE DID WITH OUR WITH OUR BUXTON MEADOWS, AND ENSURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HEARING THEIR VOICE, EVEN, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT PEOPLE THAT THAT DON'T LIVE INSIDE CITY LIMITS TO NOT THINK THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A VOICE BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR NEIGHBORS. AND WE'RE HERE TO BE GOOD PARTNERS TO EVERYBODY IN THE IN THE SURROUNDING, IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE WITH THOSE WITH THOSE INDIVIDUALS. THAT WAY, WHEN WE DO GET DOWN THE ROAD, THE CONCERNS ARE. ARE ADDRESSED IN A PROACTIVE MANNER SIMILAR AS THE LAST TIME IN RECEIPT OF THAT.
AND CERTAINLY WE'LL MAKE THAT EFFORT. AND, YOU KNOW, WE MAY NOT MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY, BUT WE'RE SURE AS HECK GOING TO TRY. YEAH, NO, IT'S A GIVE AND TAKE. AND I FULLY EXPECT THAT THERE'S GOT TO BE. THERE'S GOT TO BE CONCESSIONS ON BOTH SIDES. SO I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN NACO AND YOUR ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH THE, THE RESIDENTS AND, AND COME TO A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL AGREEMENT WITH, WITH EVERYONE. I DO WANT TO KIND OF GO BACK TO THE ZONING. LIKE THE OVERALL.
YEAH, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE RIGHT THERE I THINK IT WAS THAT THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. SO THIS IS THIS THE CURRENT ZONING OR IS THIS THE PUD ZONING? THIS IS THE PUD ZONING, AND IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER PUD TEXTS THAT WERE APPROVED. OKAY. I JUST I WAS JUST TRYING TO RUN THROUGH IT REALLY QUICKLY. PUBLIC. DISTRIBUTION. SO WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION, WE'VE WE HAD WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS A LOT OVER TIME. AND I YOU KNOW, WE'VE WE'VE SAID PUBLICLY THAT OUR INTENT IS NOT THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE THE, THE STANDALONE USE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. IT'S REALLY NOT.
BUT IT IS A COMPONENT OF SOME OF THESE OTHER USES LIKE THE BIOPHARMACEUTICAL OR SOME OF THOSE PRODUCTION TYPE USES. AND THAT WOULD NEED TO BE AN ELEMENT OF IT. SO WE'VE INCLUDED IT IN THERE BECAUSE WE DO SEE IT IN SOME INSTANCES BEING PART OF A PRIMARY USE, BUT IT WON'T BE THE PRIMARY USE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PROJECT, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. AND THEN RECYCLING CENTER AND THEN STORAGE. YEAH. FACILITIES. I THINK WHEN WE ORIGINALLY DID THE PUD FOR EAST, WE TOOK THOSE OUT OF ADDITIONAL BUCKETS. IF I'M, IF I MAY, I WAS GOING TO HAVE YOU BRING UP THE ZONING TOO. SO TO ADD TO HIS COMMENTS ON CONDITIONAL USES, YOU KNOW, EXTENDED STAY HOTELS, GROUND PASSENGER DISPATCH FACILITY, RECYCLING CENTER, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, WAREHOUSING PERSONNEL
[00:40:02]
AND MINI STORAGES. I DON'T THINK THAT YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT? IN MY OPINION, I REALLY WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE ELIMINATED THOSE AS A MATTER OF COURSE. THAT'S NOT APPROPRIATE IN THIS AREA I BELIEVE. SO I THINK WE CAN WE CAN ELIMINATE THOSE WHEN THEY COME BACK. MR. MR. PRESIDENT, COUNCILMAN BORDNER, I JUST HAD A QUESTION COMMENT TO THAT. AND MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT WHEN EAST ONE HAD COME THROUGH, THE ZONING WAS LISTED AS THIS, BUT WE HAD REVISED AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IF YOU RECALL, MR. BURKE, BUT WE HAD REVISED THE ZONING IN EAST TWO TO ELIMINATE EXTENDED STAY HOTELS AND THE MINI STORAGE. BUT I DON'T THINK ONE HAD EVER BEEN REVISED. AND THIS SEEMS TO BE CARRY OVER OF ONE. SO IF THERE'S A WILLINGNESS TO REMOVE THOSE, THAT'S I WOULD SEEK TO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL OF THE CONDITIONAL USES REMOVED. ACTUALLY THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE HAD DONE. I KNOW, I KNOW, BUT I'M JUST SAYING, YEAH, I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE. THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE NOT TRYING WE'RE NOT TRYING TO DO THAT HERE. SO I, I APPRECIATE YOU CATCHING THAT. AND WE'LL ELIMINATE THOSE. SO YOU KNOW I'VE, I ALSO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN. OUR DATA CENTERS INCLUDED IN THE EAST PHASE TWO I MAYBE I RECALL THAT THEY WERE THEY THEY WERE INCLUDED. YES. I GUESS WITH WHAT. WITH THAT. CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP? CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT QUICKLY. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ONE B. SO I GUESS PHASE TWO WOULD HAVE BEEN SECTION TWO WHICH IS IT INCLUDES DATA CENTERS AS WELL. THAT'S CORRECT. AND I GUESS I, I GUESS I CAN THEORETICALLY SEE WHERE YOU WOULD WANT THAT OPTION IN THAT GENERAL VICINITY. I DON'T WANT TO SATURATE MARYSVILLE BECAUSE THERE ARE CONCERNS WITH WATER AND ELECTRICITY AND ALL ALL OF THOSE LIGHT EMISSIONS, NOISE, ALL OF THAT GREAT STUFF THAT WE JUST TO ADD TO HIS CONCERNS, JUST FROM A COUNTY STANDPOINT, HOW MANY ARE WE ACTUALLY GOING TO ALLOW? AND I THINK THIS TAKES SERIOUS DISCUSSION BETWEEN OURSELVES AND ALSO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO DECIDE, WHAT DO WE WANT FUTURE ECONOMIC GROWTH TO LOOK LIKE, AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW AND NOT ALLOW? AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, DATA CENTERS SHOULD BE AN ITEM THAT WE SHOULD BE DISCUSSING. OBVIOUSLY, BEFORE YOU GUYS COME TO THE I WOULD RATHER PUT PUT SOME GUARDRAILS IN PLACE TO WHERE DATA CENTER IN THIS AREA WOULD BE A CONDITIONAL USE. THAT WAY IT HAS TO GO THROUGH SOME APPROVAL PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE. WHERE WE'RE MANAGING THE THAT THAT GROWTH. RIGHT. THE LAST THING I THINK WE WANT IS A COMMUNITY FULL OF DATA CENTERS. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE THERE'S VALUE TO DATA CENTERS, BUT AT WHAT POINT DO YOU, YOU KNOW, START HAVING DIMINISHING RETURNS? IF I PIPE IN AS PART OF THE DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH NACO, WE HAVE LIMITED THEIR AMOUNT OF WATER USE AT 400,000 GALLONS A DAY, I BELIEVE. SO THAT HELPS TO THAT'S GOING TO PROBABLY SELF-REGULATE A BIT. YEAH, YEAH, THAT HELPS I THINK I THINK FOR THAT REASON, I'M GLAD THAT WAS BROUGHT UP BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I THINK ELIMINATING ELIMINATING LET'S SAY SORT OF HURDLES TO A THE BARRIER TO ENTRY AND THINGS AND WE, WE HAVE A BIG PROJECT OR A NICE PROJECT THAT WE CAN ATTRACT. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT CONDITIONAL USE AND LEAVE THAT TO CHANCE. THEY MAY, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK IF YOU CAN BE SATISFIED AS A COUNCIL THAT THAT'S GOING TO REGULATE IT IN ANOTHER MANNER, THAT WOULD BE PREFERRED, BECAUSE I THINK IT ALLOWS US TO CHECK A BOX WHEN THERE'S A SITE SELECTOR, LOOKING AT SOMETHING AND SAYING, WE DON'T NEED THAT EXTRA APPROVAL. YEAH, I DON'T I DON'T NECESSARILY, YOU KNOW, WANT TO CREATE BARRIERS. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING RESPONSIBLE WITH THE ZONING THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT, BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR JOB IS TO CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ONES THAT WE SERVE. AND I'VE BEEN SAYING IT AT LEAST SINCE THE DAY THAT I'VE BEEN ON THIS PODIUM, THAT, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO DIVERSIFY OUR ECONOMIC PORTFOLIO AND CREATE JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE, RIGHT.AND REDUCE OUR RELIANCE ON, YOU KNOW, A HANDFUL OF, OF, OF, OF, OF EMPLOYMENT OPTIONS AND EXPAND OUR, OUR, OUR, OUR OFFERING TO OUR RESIDENTS. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN EXCITED FOR AT LEAST ME, FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, TWO YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, I, YOU KNOW, HAVE A DEGREE OF TRUST WITH, YOU KNOW, JUST THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAD IN PHASE TWO AND THE OUTCOME THAT THAT CAME OF THAT. AND I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL GET A
[00:45:02]
SIMILAR RESULT IN PHASE THREE. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT YOU WITH WHAT NACO BRINGS TO THE TABLE. THANK YOU. THE ONLY THE ONLY I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE LIMITING BY 400,000 GALLONS, BUT IT'S STILL CONCERNING BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE LIMITING, YOU KNOW THAT'S ONE PERSON COULD BUILD 400,000. ANOTHER PERSON COULD BUILD 400,000 GALLONS. ANOTHER. THAT'S A TOTAL THAT'S THE TOTAL FOR THE WHOLE AREA. THE AGGREGATE. OKAY. OKAY. AGGREGATE. OKAY. WELL THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP. AND THEN CAN WE GO BACK TO THE TO THE ZONING PAGE REALLY QUICKLY. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN LISTED? I THINK I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE MORE CLARIFYING POINT, BECAUSE WE DISCUSSED THIS IN PHASE TWO WITH THE DISTRIBUTION AND THE WAREHOUSING, AND IT WASN'T NECESSARILY TO MAKE IT A PRIMARY USE, IT WAS ESSENTIALLY TO ALLOW THE MANUFACTURERS OR THE YOU KNOW, I THINK WE USE THE AMGEN EXAMPLE WHERE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY HAVE DISTRIBUTION OUT THEIR OUT THEIR DOOR. SO BY, YOU KNOW, LIMITING OR ELIMINATING THE DISTRIBUTION PIECE, IT HINDERED THEIR ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, EXECUTE THAT PORTION OF THEIR BUSINESS. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE THAT MIGHT COME TO QUESTION, OH, DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH WAREHOUSES AND INNOVATION PARK? WHAT'S INNOVATIVE ABOUT WAREHOUSING. THAT'S THAT'S THE INTENDED USE OF THAT TYPE OF, OF, OF, OF ESTABLISHMENT IS TO GET THAT, THAT INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING, YOU KNOW, FROM THE MANUFACTURING SITE TO THE END CUSTOMER. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THAT'S THE INTENT, MR. PRESIDENT, JUST TO YOUR QUESTION. SO WE TALKED ABOUT USES PERMITTED USES, CONDITIONAL USES EXTENSIVELY IN MY RECOLLECTION AS PART OF THE EAST TWO. AND I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD MADE A FEW REVISIONS THAT I WOULD CONSIDER APPROPRIATE TO MAKE TO THIS. SO I GUESS FROM FROM MY OPINION, IF THIS COULD REFLECT THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE TO THE EAST. TWO ZONING IN TERMS OF PERMITTED CONDITIONAL. OKAY. WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE CONSISTENT. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY WE WOULDN'T AGREE TO THAT. MISS KRAMER, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES. KEEPING IN MIND THAT I'M COMING IN HERE A LITTLE LATER THAN THE OTHER PROCESS, I DO HAVE A COUPLE THINGS. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU COULD GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE SUMMARY OF THE MOST RECENT RESIDENT CONCERNS. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KEPT APPRIZED OF MEETINGS. IF THERE ARE MEETINGS NEXT WEEK. THE RESIDENTS, WHEN THOSE ARE OCCUR, AND THEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MASTER PLANNING. AND I THINK WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM YOU ALL IS, YOU KNOW, SOME LOOKING AT STRATEGIC AND DIVERSITY AND BEING SENSITIVE TO THE NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS. SO IF WE'RE NOT DOING IT PARCEL BY PARCEL, AND THIS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS STRATEGIC PLANNING, WILL THAT TYPE OF PLANNING BE CONSIDERATE OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS? FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT IS LESS NOISE INTENSIVE THAN A DATA CENTER OR THINGS LIKE THAT, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME KIND OF CONFIDENCE IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT WE CAN STRATEGICALLY PLAN THOSE THINGS. AND I DON'T KNOW THE BEST METHOD TO DO THAT, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE PROCESSING THROUGH THIS, PERMITTED USES AND CONDITIONAL USES TO KIND OF BE THINKING ABOUT ALSO THE SENSE OF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT SELF REGULATING BASED ON ALLOWABLE WATER CONSUMPTION. AND WE DON'T KNOW THE ORDER THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. YOU KNOW, WHAT I DON'T WANT TO END UP IS HAVING A DATA CENTER NEAR THE RESIDENCE. BUT THEN WE REACH OUR WATER CAP, AND THEN WE HAVE OTHER AREAS FARTHER AWAY FROM RESIDENTS. WELL, WE YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE USES DEVELOPED IN THAT WAY. AND I GUESS I JUST WANT TO KIND OF LOOK AT THIS. IF WE ARE IN THIS STRATEGIC MASTER PLANNING, CAN WE HAVE SOME ASSURANCES THAT THESE THINGS WILL TAKE PLACE? YOU KNOW, BASED ON ALSO NEIGHBORING AREAS AND. YEAH, I THINK I THINK AS WE HEAR I MEAN, I THINK THE TYPICAL THINGS THAT YOU WE'VE HEARD FROM OTHER RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT NOISE IS, IS A CONCERN. AND, YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET EVERYONE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT EITHER THROUGH, WELL, PROBABLY THROUGH SOME COMBINATION OF SETBACKS AND SCREENING AND WHATNOT. AND, YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE TO THINK THROUGH, YOU KNOW, HOW A PHASING WOULD GO IN TERMS OF WITH, WITH UTILITIES CONSUMPTION THAT'S GOING TO BE LARGELY MARKET[00:50:04]
DRIVEN. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU'RE PUTTING SORT OF USES THAT ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM RURAL RESIDENTIAL, THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE CONSIDERATIONS THAT NEED TO BE GIVEN, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE PERIMETERS. AND I THINK WE'VE DEMONSTRATED PREVIOUSLY THAT WE CAN DO THAT. I DON'T THINK NECESSARILY BUXTON MEADOWS IS AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON HERE, BECAUSE WE DO ACTUALLY WITH SOME OF THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA HERE. THEY HAVE BIGGER SETBACKS FROM US THAN BUXTON DID, WHICH, YOU KNOW, IN SOME INSTANCES HAD 30 OR 40FT FROM OUR PROPERTY LINE. BUT I DO THINK THERE'S A LITTLE MORE STUDY THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I THINK WE'VE GOT TIME TO DO THAT AND WE'LL WE'LL TAKE THE NEIGHBORS CONCERNS INTO ACCOUNT AND TRY TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE COPIOUS NOTES AND COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT, YOU KNOW, TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY, ADDRESSES THOSE MAYBE IN A DIFFERENT MANNER THAN BUXTON, BUT CERTAINLY WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT. THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD TO THE ZONING AND THESE CONCERNS I HAVE, AND WE CAN HAVE A HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT, BUT COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT AND MACHINE MACHINERY SALES, RENTALS, LEASING AND COMMERCIAL PRINTING AND PUBLISHING AND THEN ALSO GOING DOWN TO. THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS ANTENNA FACTORY, FAX FACILITY AND OR TOWER, THOSE ARE SOME OTHER ONES THAT, YOU KNOW, I HAVE CONCERNS ON. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE ALREADY SAID, THE CONDITIONAL USE IS PRETTY MUCH NONE OF THOSE REALLY, MR. PRESIDENT? YES. SO I KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION IN THE LAST TIME WE WENT THROUGH THIS. SO, YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH WHAT SOME OF THE OTHERS HAVE SAID. MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH THE CHANGES WE MADE THE LAST TIME. OKAY? YOU KNOW, WE ALL CAME TO THAT AGREEMENT AT ONE TIME. LET'S MAKE IT CONSISTENT.YEAH. AND WE'LL LOOK IT OVER AFTER WE SEE IT. VERY GOOD. SOUNDS GOOD, SOUNDS GOOD. YEAH.
ONE MORE REQUEST. JUST IF YOU WOULD, AS WE COME TO SECOND READING, IF YOU COULD, MAYBE SIMILAR TO WHAT Y'ALL DID FOR PHASE TWO, LINE UP THE ZONING KIND OF MARYSVILLE'S TEXT VERSUS ORIGINAL PD TEXT VERSUS PHASE TWO, WHICH IS MAYBE THE NEW PROPOSAL. THAT WAY WE CAN SEE IT SIDE BY SIDE OF, HEY, THESE ARE THE BENEFITS. LIKE BECAUSE WE DO WE WORK TO GET BETTER ZONING THROUGH THE PUD. AND THAT'S A CONSISTENT MESSAGE THAT THIS COUNCIL CONTINUES TO, TO CONVEY.
SO WE WANT TO SHOW THAT IN EVERY, IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE WHERE YOU KNOW, THE SETBACKS OR.
WHATEVER THE PERMITTED CONDITIONAL OR THE TYPES OF USES THAT WE PEOPLE KNOW, LIKE, OKAY, WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO CONTROL THE MANNER IN WHICH WE GROW RESPONSIBLY TO SHOW A COMPARISON OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO END UP PROPOSING. YEAH, MAYBE. MAYBE MARY'S MAYBE, YOU KNOW, CURRENT MARYSVILLE TEXT VERSUS ORIGINAL PROPOSED VERSUS MAYBE THE PHASE TWO THAT WE ALIGNED ON BACK IN NOVEMBER ISH TIMING FOR PHASE TWO OR JANUARY OF 24. AND IT'S BEEN THAT LONG.
AND JUST SHOW THAT COMPARISON. THAT'S ALL THAT I WOULD ASK FOR SECOND READING. OKAY. THANK YOU.
ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU, THANK YOU. LET'S BE BACK FOR SECOND READING. PUBLIC HEARING ON JUNE

SO IF YOU SEE A LITTLE BIT OF GRASS IN AREAS THAT HASN'T BEEN TRIMMED YET OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES IN A PARK, THAT'S WASN'T ONE OF THE FOCUS AREAS WE'LL BE GETTING TO THEM. IT'S JUST BEEN A MONUMENTAL TASK WITH THE WEATHER THAT WE'RE IN AND GETTING AGAIN TONIGHT. JUST TRYING TO STAY UP WITH WITH EVERYTHING.
