UP TO THE STAFF TO CHOOSE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER TO GO TO CITY COUNCIL TO VACATE THAT POSITION. AGAIN, THE SAME VERBIAGE IS OTHER GROUPS. AND THEN ALSO THERE WAS A CHANGE TO BASED ON COUNCIL VOTING FOR THE SUPERMAJORITY FOR CONDITIONAL USES. ONE.WHAT'S THIS. SO I PULLED UP THE WRONG ONE. SO THE RED LINE IS THE ONE I SENT OUT LAST. OKAY, SO. YEAH AND I, I FORGOT. DID YOU WANT TO HAVE THE CHANGE ABOUT THE, THE MOST RECENT ONE HAS THE SUPERMAJORITY FOR CONDITIONAL USES. THAT WAS THE MEASURE THAT WAS PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL TO REQUIRE A SUPERMAJORITY VOTE FOR CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATIONS, AND NOT JUST A SIMPLE MAJORITY. I DO WANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD THAT WE NEED TO REVISIT THAT.
MAYBE NOT TONIGHT, BUT WE DO NEED TO REVISIT THAT. WITH THE REVISED ONE ON THE ITEM NUMBER FOUR NOW REFERENCES. PLANNING COMMISSION, NOT DESIGN REVIEW BOARD. YEAH. THANK YOU. MISS IT PREVIOUSLY I MEAN SURE. COPY AND PASTE. YEP. WELL IT'S BEEN THERE FOR A COUPLE YEARS SO.

WE'VE KIND OF THROWN AROUND WITH STAFF. WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO COUNCIL. ANYBODY ON COUNCIL OR HIGHER UP STAFF. SO IT WAS HARD FOR US TO YOU KNOW, I HAD TO REARRANGE PLANS SO WE COULD HAVE A QUORUM. MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO ADDRESS BEFORE THE SUMMER. SURE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? YEAH. I MEAN, WE'RE LOOKING AT IT. WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO DO IT. SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO FIND BOARD MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S SOMEBODY THAT'S JUST LIKE AN ALTERNATE.
WE'VE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ON IF IT'S A POSSIBILITY OF FORMER BOARD MEMBER THAT'S BEEN ON IT.
SO THEY UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AND THINGS AND THAT WE DON'T JUST NEED THEM ONCE A YEAR OR SOMETHING. BUT I VOLUNTEERED TO BE A FORMER BOARD MEMBER JUST SO. YEAH, WE REALLY DO NEED TO EXPLORE BECAUSE NOVEMBER WAS HARD. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. WE WANT TO TRY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE APPLICANTS AND STUFF. SO. RIGHT. YEP. OKAY. THAT'S ALL I GOT.

BUSINESS. ITEM FOR NEW BUSINESS IS TO HEAR AN APPLICATION FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR A PLUS OR -190.06 ACRES RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, TROTTERS GATE, LOCATED AT PARCELS NUMBER. AND FORGIVE ME WHILE I SAY ALL THESE NUMBERS 2800090060010 AND. 28000900800002800090120010280000[00:10:10]
AND 2800090170000 IN THE MARYSVILLE NORTH PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION.APPLICANT IS AT THE PODIUM. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND PLEASE WALK US THROUGH THE APPLICATION. SURE. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. COMMISSION. MY NAME IS COREY TARKOFF WITH ROCKFORD HOMES. ADDRESS IS 999 PLAYERS PARKWAY, COLUMBUS, OHIO 43240. THIS IS OUR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION FOR SUBAREAS B AND D ONLY OF THE MULTI-USE MARYSVILLE NORTH PROJECT. THIS IS OUR CONVENTIONAL SINGLE FAMILY LOT PORTION OF THE OVERALL PROJECT. WITH THE PRELIMINARY PLAT PROCESS AND WHAT'S REQUIRED FOR THE SUBMISSION, IT ALLOWS US TO HONE IN THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF THE OVERALL PROJECT TO IDENTIFY, TO ENSURE THAT OUR STORMWATER BASINS ARE SIZED CORRECTLY FROM THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO YOU EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS, TO ENSURE THAT THE ROAD NETWORK WITH THE RADIUSES WORK AND THE PROPOSED LOT STRUCTURE THAT WAS APPROVED WITH THE SIZING WORKS AS WELL. WITHIN THE PLAN, WE WE FOUND THAT EVERYTHING WAS FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL FOR ONE, EXCEPT FOR ONE ITEM. THAT WAS OUR NORTHERN ENTRY OFF OF STATE ROUTE FOUR. IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. IT SHOWED IT FURTHER TO THE SOUTH, ADJACENT TO OUR NEIGHBOR. YOU SEE, THAT'S CARVED OUT. RIGHT HERE ON THE THE TULIP BULB AND LANDSCAPING FACILITY. WHEN WE GOT MORE DETAILED INFORMATION WITH THE ROAD GEOMETRY AND THE NETWORK THAT'S NEEDED FOR THAT SIZE OF A ROUNDABOUT, THE TAPER AS YOU'RE COMING OUT OF THE RADIUS AND TRAVELING SOUTH WEST ON FOUR, IT EXTENDED THAT TAPER AND IT INHIBITED THEIR NORTHERN ACCESS POINT, WHICH IS THEIR SERVICE ENTRY, TO GAIN ORDERS AND TO ALSO SEND FOLKS FROM THE THE RETAIL COMPONENT OVER TO THE REAR OF THEIR PROPERTY TO GET MULCH. SO WORKING WITH KYLE AND THE CITY ENGINEERING STAFF, THERE WERE SEVERAL OPTIONS THAT WE EXPLORED, MET WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND DISCUSSED SOME OF THESE IN BROAD BRUSH TERMS, AND FOUND THAT WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED FOR YOU TONIGHT WAS THE BEST CASE SCENARIO. IT REQUIRED US TO MOVE THE ROUNDABOUT FURTHER NORTH SO THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO TRY TO FIND OUT, FIND SOME HALF COCKED WAY TO KEEP THEIR TURNING MOVEMENTS AS THEY ARE. THERE WAS ONE OPTION TO POTENTIALLY USE THE RETAIL SOUTHERN ENTRY AND DO A PARALLEL ACCESS ROAD AND THEN TURN INTO THEIR THEIR BACK DRIVE, WHICH WAS PRETTY MUCH TAKING THEIR THEIR FRONTAGE. AND IT JUST REALLY IMPEDED THAT OVERALL LOOK. WOULDN'T HAVE LOOKED VERY WELL IN THE SAME THEY'VE GOT RIGHT NOW. THE EXCUSE ME, THE OTHER COMPONENT WAS KIND OF ADJUSTING THE GEOMETRY OF OF THE ROUNDABOUT IN THAT LOCATION, ADJUSTING A FEW LOTS THERE, BUT IT STILL HAD THAT LENGTHY TAPER AND ALSO ENCUMBERED A UTILITY POLE ON THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THE OTHER SIDE. AND WE PREFER NOT TO HAVE TO RELOCATE THOSE UTILITY POLES, ESPECIALLY THOSE ARE FAIRLY EXPENSIVE. SO WHAT WE DID, KYLE, ACTUALLY WAS THE ONE THAT CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA.
HE MOVED IT TO THE NORTH. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE GEOMETRY AND HAVE FULL ACCESS TO TO THE BUSINESS. THERE'S NO LEFT HAND TURN ISSUES RIGHT THERE. IF WE WERE TO KEEP IT FURTHER SOUTH, WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT IN A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE AND A POTENTIAL SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION, WHICH JUST WOULDN'T HAVE WORKED, DIDN'T MAKE A LOT OF ENGINEERING SENSE.
SO THE ONLY, I WOULD SAY CHANGE TO THE PLAN THAT YOU, THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU TODAY VERSUS WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU IS JUST THAT RELOCATION OF THAT ROUNDABOUT. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKED OUT FAIRLY GOOD. WE DIDN'T ENCROACH INTO THE STREAM CORRIDOR PROTECTION ZONE. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADJUST OUR SIZING OF OUR POOL AND DECK IN THAT AREA. THERE WAS SOME CODE CHANGES THAT REQUIRES SOME ADDITIONAL TURNING RADIUSES FOR THE AMERICAN DISABILITY ACT, AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS FOR FENCED IN AREA, SIZE OF POOL, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. IT REALLY BLEW THIS CLUBHOUSE OUT. WE HAVE A LIMITED AREA IN IN THAT AREA.
AND SO WITH THAT WE'VE WE'VE SHRUNK A LITTLE BIT OF THE CONCRETE PATIO. ESSENTIALLY, WE STILL HAVE ABOUT A 2000 SQUARE FOOT POOL, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL SIZE POOL. IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A LIFEGUARD. AND OUR SHELTER HOUSE, IT'S NOT A FULL BLOWN CLUBHOUSE. IT'S A SHELTER THAT HAS BATHROOMS, HAS A LEAN TO ON THE SIDE. SO THERE'S COVERED PICNIC AREA AND A FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL POOL DECK THAT STILL PROVIDES ENOUGH AREA FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY THEMSELVES, SIT AT A TABLE, SIT IN LAWN CHAIRS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE WITH OUR NEXT STEP WITH
[00:15:06]
THE WITH THE DRB APPLICATION, WE HONED IN ON A LOT OF OUR LANDSCAPING COMPONENTS. WE PROGRAMED ALL OF THE RESERVES WITH AN ELEMENT, EITHER IT BE A SHELTER HOUSE OR PAVILION. WE HAVE ROCK GABION SEATING AREAS, KIND OF LIKE FIREPITS THAT YOU'D SEE IN METRO PARKS. PATHS ARE ALL STILL IN THE SAME LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT, AND I THINK I CALCULATED ALMOST ABOUT ONE AND THREE QUARTER MILES WITHIN THE OVERALL PROJECT WORTH OF WALKING, ALL INTERCONNECTED. ALL THE THE RESERVES HAVE BEEN IMPROVED WITH THE BASINS THAT HAVE PASSED AROUND THEM. WE'RE DOING A NATURAL NATURAL GRASS PRAIRIE AREAS FOR NOMOS AND THEN ALSO HAVING SOME FINE MOSAIC AREAS AND REFORESTED AREAS. WE HAVE A PLAYGROUND IN THE ONE OF THE RESERVES. WE HAVE SOME SWING SETS FOR PEOPLE TO JUST ENJOY THEIR EVENING, NOT FOR KIDS, BUT FOR ADULTS. A LOT OF INTERESTING COMPONENTS IN THE OVERALL PROJECT. THE LOT STRUCTURE, LIKE I SAID, HAS NOT CHANGED. WE ARE STILL MEETING ALL OF OUR ZONING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MINIMUM LOT SIZES, BUT WE HAVE A VARYING THEY'RE NOT JUST THE MINIMUM. AND THEN THE NEXT WE HAVE A BROAD BRUSH OF LOTS THAT MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS BUT ARE HIGHER. IT'S ALSO INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET. IT'S COLOR CODED SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THOSE ARE DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. WE'VE COMMITTED. WE STILL NEED TO DO A NEIGHBORLY AGREEMENT WITH OUR NEIGHBOR WE HAVE COMMITTED, WHICH IS SHOWN IN OUR LANDSCAPE PLAN. THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT BUFFER AROUND THE PROPERTY. WE'RE GOING TO DO A CROSSBUCK FENCE. WE'RE GOING TO ADJUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE FENCE SO THEY HAVE SOME ACCESS TO THEIR POND. JUST DUE TO THE PROPERTY LINES THERE. IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO GET HIS TRACTORS IN, IN AND AROUND THE AREA TO MOW. WE'LL DO SOME AGREEMENT WITH THE HOA SO HE HAS PERMISSION TO UTILIZE THAT AREA. IT'S BEEN SO GRACIOUS TO COMMIT TO AN EASEMENT ACROSS HIS PROPERTY SO WE CAN EXTEND THE WALKING PATH. SO IT'S NOT SEGMENTED AS WELL AS WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH THEM TO REPLACE THE VINYL FENCING ALONG HIS FRONTAGE TO MATCH THE WOODEN CROSS FENCE. SO WE HAVE AN INTEGRATED THEME RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE PACKET AND AT THE AT THE REQUEST OF KYLE. BUT I'LL PUT IT OUT THERE. THIS IS A GATEWAY TO THE CITY COMING FROM THE NORTH ON ROUTE FOUR, AND THE CITY WANTS TO DO SOME SORT OF FEATURE IN THAT ROUNDABOUT, WHICH WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WILLING TO DO. WE'D LIKE TO, IN OUR SOUTHERN ROUNDABOUT, INCORPORATE SOME SORT OF LANDSCAPE FEATURE THAT CARRIES OUR THEME INTO THE PROJECT. SO THESE AREN'T GOING TO BE JUST YOUR STANDARD RIVER ROCK ROUNDABOUTS. WE'RE GOING TO PUT SOME ELEMENTS IN THERE. WE STILL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE SPEED AND THE SAFETY. SO IMPACTING VISION TRIANGLES WITH TREES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, WE NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HARD HARDSCAPE ITEMS. ALSO, WE HAVE TO INVESTIGATE IN THAT THERE'S SEVERAL HARDSCAPES IN DUBLIN, BUT AT THAT RATE OF SPEED OUT THERE I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WARRANTED. SO WE'LL WORK WITH THE CITY TO COME UP WITH A VERY ATTRACTIVE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR BOTH THOSE ROUNDABOUTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE FOR YOU. OKAY, WELL, DO APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES AND SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S BEEN BACK AND FORTH. SO YES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU MENTIONED FIRE PITS, CORRECT? YEAH. IF YOU IF YOU SEE IF YOU CAN ENVISION, ENVISION A METRO PARK, IT'S IT'S AN AREA OFF THE TRAIL WHERE YOU CAN SIT, ENJOY YOUR LUNCH OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. I ENVISION A FIRE PIT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT FIRE PITS IN THERE FOR OPEN BURNING PURPOSES. THIS IS PRELIMINARY. YEAH, BUT THE THEME IS THERE TO WHERE IF YOU'RE YOU'RE ON THE PATH AND YOU'RE WALKING AND YOU JUST NEED TO SIT AND DO SOMETHING, IT'S LESS INVASIVE. BUT WE HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES OF SEATING ARRANGEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. IT SOUNDS NICE, BUT THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE THE NATURAL GAS OR WOOD AND THEN THE WOOD. RIGHT, RIGHT. SO SO SO I KNOW PER THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS, NEAR ONE OF THE ENTRANCES YOU HAD MOVED, IT SAYS RELOCATED. DID YOU REMOVE TWO LOTS OR DID THEY GET RELOCATED? YES, WE RELOCATED THEM WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. I AGREE WITH THE STAFF'S COMMENTS THAT THE ROUNDABOUT AND THE THE VISION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET ON THE SIDE OF THE LOTS IN THERE WITH, WITH AT NIGHT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE LIGHTS, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO HAVE THE LOTS RIGHT UP ON THE ROAD. SO THAT WAS A GOOD CATCH. WE AGREED WITH IT. WE MOVED IT BACK OVER IN THAT AREA AND CONFIRMED THAT THAT AREA, WE STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROGRAM THAT SPACE, WHICH IS JUST JUST PERFECTLY FINE.OVERALL, OPEN SPACE, I THINK PER CODE RED REQUIRED AT 30%, I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, IF I'M GOING OFF MEMORY, WAS 31.7. I THINK WE'RE AT 32.9 NOW. SO WE ACTUALLY GAINED A LITTLE BIT OF OPEN SPACE OVER 32%. OKAY, ALMOST 33. OPEN UP TO THE REST
[00:20:05]
OF THE WARD. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I DON'T. KNOW I, I MEAN, YOU SEEM TO BE ON BOARD WITH MOST OF THE STAFF'S COMMENTS, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. MAKES THINGS EASY. YES. EASIER I GUESS I SHOULD SAY. GOOD. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THE ROUNDABOUTS. YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LANDSCAPE THEM. THE PUBLIC HAS HEARTACHE WHEN THEY SEE LANDSCAPING AND THEY THINK THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT. IT'D BE NICE TO IDENTIFY SOMEHOW THAT THE DEVELOPER IS DEVELOPING THESE ROUNDABOUTS. ONE IS GOING TO BE MARKETED AS THEIR HOME. EXACTLY. WELL, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WE HAVE OUR ENTRY FEATURES, SIGNS THAT FLANK THE MAIN ENTRY SPUR INTO THE PROJECT. AND SO WHEN I WHEN I SAY INTEGRATE A THEME, WE HAVE A WE HAVE TWO STONE SELECTIONS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH RIGHT NOW TO SEE WHAT KYLE WANTS TO WORK WITH. BECAUSE I'M NOT A FAN OF GRASS ROUNDABOUTS, HOW DO YOU GET IN THERE AND MAINTAIN THEM? NUMBER ONE AND THE GRASS ALWAYS DIES. AND I'VE SEEN DELAWARE COUNTY ROUNDABOUTS WHERE THEY JUST PILE UP AROUND THERE AND THEY PUT RIVER ROCK ON IT. AND THAT'S NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE EITHER. SO THERE'S A HAPPY COMPROMISE IN THERE WHERE YOU CAN GET SOME SORT OF VEGETATION.THAT'S NOT IT'S GOING TO BE DROUGHT RESISTANT, AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT ON A ROUTINE BASIS. IT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AND SO AND UTILIZE SOME RIVER ROCK, THAT SAME COLOR TONE THAT'S GOING TO MATCH OUR ENTRY FEATURE SIGN. AND SO AS WE DRIVE INTO TO OUR PROJECT AND COULD YOU GO TO WHERE ONE OF THE PAGES THAT SHOWS THE MAIN ENTRY WITH THE POND. OKAY. THAT'S GOOD. SO YOU HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL VISTA OF THIS MONTH.
THAT'S IT'S A FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL BASIN HERE. SO WE'LL HAVE A SIGN HERE AND SIGN HERE. AND SO I WANT TO WANT THIS VIEW SHED TO BE OPEN. AND WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME WHISKEY GRASS THROUGH HERE TO KIND OF CONNECT THE STREET TREES. AND SO MAYBE DOING SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES VERY LOW MAINTENANCE. YOU CUT THEM DOWN IN THE FALL. YOU LET THEM GROW IN THE SUMMER. AND SO NOW YOU HAVE THAT A LITTLE BIT OF THEMATIC THEME COMING INTO IT.
NOTHING DRAMATIC LIKE YOU'D SEE OVER IN BALLANTRAE OR MUIRFIELD VILLAGE WITH A RUBBLE HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. NOW, THE NORTHERN ONE, THAT'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T. I KNOW KYLE HAD MENTIONED THAT IN PLANNING, STAFF HAD MENTIONED THAT THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT SOME SORT OF GATEWAY FEATURE. MAYBE IT'S A SIGN OF SOME SORT THAT'S REPLICATED THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT I, WE JUST REALLY HAVEN'T SAT DOWN AND DISCUSSED THAT YET.
OKAY. MARYSVILLE SIGNS SPONSORED BY ROCKFORD HOMES. YEAH, THE ONE THAT THEY DID ON 31 LOOKS PRETTY GOOD I THINK. SO SOMETHING SIMILAR. THERE WAS A LOT OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT ONE. BUT YEAH. CITIZENS. YEAH. BUT YOU CAN'T SEE AND BUT BUT IT'S NOT MADE TO BE SEEN ACROSS.
YOU SHOULD ONLY BE LOOKING AT YOU SHOULD ONLY BE LOOKING TO THE LEFT. SO THOSE COMMENTS WILL BE WYATT'S BLOCK IN EDTHE MIDDLE. TECHNICALLY FOR ROUNDABOUTS YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK ACROSS. YEAH, YEAH WE'RE GOING WE'RE GOING FROM 55 TO 35 FOR THAT ROUND. SO WE WANT SOMETHING SUBSTANTIAL. SURE. YEAH. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO GET HIS THOUGHTS. AND YOU KNOW MR. SO WE WILL OPEN UP SUSAN COMMENTS I OH SORRY. I'M TRYING TO GET TO SORRY SORRY SORRY. SOME OF THESE COMMENTS ARE OUR STAFF. SOME ARE COMMISSION MEMBER THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND TONIGHT. AND WE WE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH OUR CITY ENGINEER. SO IT WILL BE.
FOR THIS NORTHERN PORTION OFF OF AMAZON WOULD HERE FOR THIS ENTRANCE. THE COMMISSION MEMBER HAD SOME CONCERNS WITH THE THE SITE DISTANCE WITH THE BUILDING HERE TRYING TO OPEN IT UP. IF WE REMOVE THOSE TWO LOTS AROUND THE THE ROUNDABOUT ENTRANCE ON THAT NORTHERN ENTRANCE, WHY ARE WE NOT MOVING THESE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE? LOOKING AT WHERE THE RIGHT OF WAY IS THIS THIS LOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE? WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. OUR THOUGHTS WITH THIS LOT HERE, THEY DO SHOW LANDSCAPING OUT IN THIS AREA. SO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO KIND OF WRAP 3 OR 4 OF THE OF THE EVERGREENS KIND OF AROUND THIS CORNER TO KIND OF SCREEN THAT THE HOUSE FROM AMAZON WOULD A LITTLE MORE TO PROVIDE SOME OF THAT BUFFERING. AND I CAN PULL UP I'LL PULL UP A ANOTHER PAGE. FLAMMARION WOODS IS NOT A MAIN THOROUGHFARE. YEAH. THAT'S KIND
[00:25:01]
OF LIKE OUR SECONDARY. BUT I GET WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FROM A A LIGHT INTRUSION PERSPECTIVE. SO THIS IS THEIR PART OF THEIR LANDSCAPING PLAN. THEY SHOW THE BUFFERING ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND THEN IT KIND OF STOPS HERE. WE'RE JUST THINKING IF YOU WRAP IT AROUND, THERE ARE A COUPLE STREET TREES HERE. THIS IS PRETTY SCREEN PRETTY WELL HERE. AND THERE'S SOME ENTRY FEATURE HERE A LITTLE BIT HERE. BUT IF WE COULD SCREEN THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT WITH SOME EVERGREENS KIND OF WRAP AROUND, JUST KIND OF BUFFERS THAT THAT ENTRANCE, I SEE WHY THEY DID WHAT THEY DID. FROM THE PLAN PERSPECTIVE. THERE'S THE RESERVE IS AN EXTENDED THROUGH THERE. BUT. THE THE MAJORITY OF ALL THAT BUFFER IS IN A RESERVE. SO WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO DO SOME SORT OF SMALL LANDSCAPE EASEMENT AND JUST PUT IT ON THE HOA. THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. AND THEN DO YOU KNOW THIS LANDSCAPING ALONG AMRIN. IT'S ALSO ALONG FOR IF THAT'S IF THERE'S ANY MOUNDING WITH THIS. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY MOUNDING PLANTED CURRENTLY.WE'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE, THE THE STORMWATER LAYOUT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ROUTING. A LOT OF TIMES ROUTING AND MOUNDING DON'T GO HAND IN HAND. POSSIBILITY. LOOK AT I MEAN, I CAN ALWAYS USE A PLACE TO PUT EXTRA TOPSOIL. I'M ALWAYS STRUGGLING WITH THAT. ARE THESE BASEMENT HOUSES OR THESE ARE ALL BASEMENTS. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE DOING STORMWATER FROM THE SUMP PUMPING FROM THE ROOFLINE TO THE STREET ANYWAY. THEY SHOULD BE. BUT WE ALWAYS TYPICALLY ON REAR YARD CATCH BASINS, WE TRY TO GO EVERY 2 TO 3 LOTS. RIGHT. YEP. SO THIS IS KIND OF THIS IS KIND OF ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE'RE LIKE AN EXAMPLE THAT HAS THE PATH HERE AND THEN HAS SOME MOUNDING WITH EVERGREENS NOW THAT THEY'RE GROWN UP FOR A WHILE. SO IT KIND OF SCREENS ALL THESE HOUSES FROM THE ROAD. YEAH, THAT'S THE OLD HOME SITE. SO. AND ON LEWIS CENTER. YEAH THEY OVER PLANTED IT ACTUALLY A LOT OF THEM ARE DYING NOW. YEAH. LIKE I SAID THEY'RE PLAYING THEM A LITTLE TOO CLOSE BUT WITH THAT SIZE. BUT JUST. YEAH I MEAN WE CAN LOOK AT IT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS WOULD BE WILLING TO LOOK AT. YEAH, DEFINITELY. I'LL GET WITH OUR ENGINEERING FIRM AND SEE IF WE HAVE ANY CONFLICTS WITH REAR YARD STORM. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE DO. IF ALL THAT'S GOING TO BE AN EASEMENT. I STRUGGLE WITH MOUNDS AND PLANTINGS AT TIME BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME MAINTAINABLE SLOPES AND OR, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PLANTING THOSE TREES ON THE SIDES AND THEY GET TO LEANING. SO I NEED TO HAVE A NICE PLATEAU. SO I GOT TO WORK WITHIN THAT SPACE. YEAH. IT WAS JUST KIND OF A SUGGESTION TO TRY TO HELP SCREEN IT. WE DIDN'T KNOW. RIGHT NOW IT DOESN'T REALLY CALL OUT THAT THERE'S MOUNTING OR THEY'RE NOT MOUNTING. SO WE KIND OF WANTED TO CONFIRM. AND THEN IF THERE IS ROOM FOR IT, IF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU GUYS WOULD BE WILLING TO LOOK AT. YEAH. I GUESS FOR TONIGHT'S PURPOSES, IF, IF WE COULD AGREE THAT WE WOULD WORK WITH STAFF ON THAT. WHAT IS THE LICENSE ARBORIST SAY? HOLD ON, HOLD ON WAIT. NO, NO. YEAH. AND THEN AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MOUNTING ALL ALONG ROUTE FOUR AND THE NORTHERN. YEAH I MEAN IT DEPENDS ON THE SPACING OR IT COULD BE KIND OF A MIX OKAY. TO IF THERE'S CERTAIN AREAS THAT KIND OF LOWER ELEVATION THAT NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP OR. I MEAN, FROM A VISUAL PERSPECTIVE, I LIKE SOME UNDULATING MOUNTING VERSUS JUST THAT. YEAH. YEAH. WE'RE YEAH, WE'RE OKAY WITH WITH THAT. WE DON'T NECESSARILY NEED IT ALL THE WAY ACROSS. AND THEN. WE ALSO ARE WORKING WITH OUR NEIGHBOR WITH DOING SOME ADDITIONAL MOUNTING BECAUSE THERE THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT RESERVE AROUND HIS PROPERTY JUST TO HYPER ELEVATE THOSE TREES AS AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON THIS IS SHOWS THE SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS HIS STORMWATER AS WELL. RIGHT. SO I KNOW THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A TRAIL THAT CONNECTS OVER TO AMRON MEADOWS, AND I BELIEVE IT'S DRAWN ON THERE. YEAH, IT'S NOT HIGHLIGHTED, BUT IT'S NOT HIGHLIGHTED. THERE'S A TRAIL THAT RUNS THROUGH HERE THAT'S NOT HIGHLIGHTED. I BELIEVE THERE'S TRAILS THAT RUN THE PATH THAT RUNS DOWN HERE.
THAT'S CORRECT. THAT'S NOT HIGHLIGHTED. SO IF YOU GUYS COULD JUST UPDATE THIS EXHIBIT WITH TO SHOW ALL THE TRAILS AND MAKE SURE ALL THE STUFF'S COLORED IN, THIS IS ACTUALLY I'M GUESSING THIS WAS JUST KIND OF UPDATED FROM THE PREVIOUS ONE. IT'S THE SAME WAY IN THE
[00:30:02]
PUD TEXT AS WELL. SO JUST I KNOW THERE'S JUST MISSING A COUPLE THINGS. SO WE JUST WANT TO KIND OF SHOW THAT CONNECTIVITY. AND THEN WITH RESIDENTS THEY WANT THAT CONNECTIVITY. SO I KNOW I HAD I HAD A RESIDENT ASK IF IT WAS GOING TO GET CONNECTED TO AMRON MEADOWS. AND I KNOW THAT WAS THE PLAN. SO I JUST WANT BE GOOD TO HAVE THAT VISUAL. AND THEN THEY ADDRESS MOST OF THE COMMENTS. WITH THE URBAN FORESTER. HE STILL HAD SOME COMMENTS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL STREET TREES. HE JUST ASKED THAT THEY WORK WITH THE URBAN FORESTER WHEN THEY WHEN THE BUILDER IS GETTING READY TO PLANT THE STREET TREES TO TO HELP FINALIZE THE STREET TREE SPECIES. I GET A LIST OF ALL THESE AS WELL. YEAH, I CAN GET YOU. YEP. YEAH. WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING ON THE OUR DECISION LETTER. OKAY. THE COMMON AREA SPECIES DIVERSITY FOR THE COMMON AREAS. HE WANTS TO INCREASE THE DIVERSITY BY INTRODUCING 3 TO 5 ADDITIONAL SPECIES. AND I'LL GET YOU ALL THESE COMMENTS. HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TOO MANY TREES PLANTED TOGETHER IN CASE THERE'S A DISEASE OR SOMETHING AND WIPES THEM ALL OUT. HE WANTS TO HAVE SOME MORE DIVERSITY IN THERE. AND THEN WE'LL WORK WITH THEM WITH THE LANDSCAPE FOR WITH SOME OF THE LANDSCAPING, WITH THE ROUNDABOUTS. HE HAD COMMENTS ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT THAT CAN BE WORKED OUT DURING FINAL ENGINEERING WITH THOSE DESIGNS. AND THEN THERE'S JUST A RECOMMENDATION FOR A SPECIES CHANGE FROM FRANK'S RED TO A FRANK JUNIOR BECAUSE IT HAS A HIGHER PH TOLERANCE. BUT WE'LL GET ALL THESE TO THEM AS THEY JUST WORK WITH THEM ON THAT. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF TREES, A LOT OF LOCATIONS. SO YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF TREES ON THIS SIDE. WHEN IT GETS GETS THAT THAT PART OF THE PLANTING AND STUFF. HOW OUR URBAN FORESTER WILL BE WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPERS, WITH THOSE STREET TREES AND THINGS. SO THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT FROM ONE OF THE COMMISSION MEMBERS WAS THEY THEY FELT THAT THERE SHOULD BE MAYBE ADDITIONAL LIKE PLAYGROUND AREAS FOR KIDS WITH THE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT ARE THERE. I KNOW YOU HAVE LIKE ONE SIDE THAT HAS THE PLAYGROUND. I THINK THERE WAS DISCUSSION AT DRB THAT THERE'S POSSIBILITY THEY COULD ADD MORE, LIKE IF THEIR HOA WANTS TO ADD A PLAYGROUND, I THINK THEY'RE PERMITTED IN THE OPEN SPACES.SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO TO CONSIDER WITH JUST THE NUMBER OF HOMES WITH THE LOCATIONS. I THINK THE PLAYGROUNDS HERE, AND IT'D BE NICE, YOU KNOW, IF SOME OF THESE OTHER OPEN SPACES POSSIBLY HAVE IT SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL SO FAR TO GET TO THAT, OR IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, SOME TYPE OF PLAY AREA HERE OR, YOU KNOW, YEAH, THAT THAT AREA AROUND THE CLUBHOUSE, IT WAS ORIGINALLY SLATED TO HAVE ONE THAT WAY. IT'S ALL KIND OF LIKE A YEAH, A COMMUNITY AREA. BUT IT'S SO TIGHT WITH NEEDING THE SIZE OF THE POOL THAT WE NEED FOR THE SIZE. AND THEN EVERYTHING THAT THE CLUBHOUSE AND BEING, YOU KNOW, SO I DON'T KNOW THIS, THIS OPEN SPACE AREA MIGHT MAYBE COULD BE A LOCATION FOR THE HOA TO CONSIDER. JUST, YOU KNOW, SURE. FOR THESE RESIDENTS HERE, IT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LONG WAY TO GO UP THERE TO GET TO A PLAYGROUND IF THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, SMALL KIDS AND STUFF, IT'D BE NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING CLOSER TO THEM. AND MY ROLE WITH ROCKFORD, AS I DO ALL THE LAND DEVELOPMENT, THEN I, I MANAGE ALL THE ROWS AS WELL. AND SO THEY GET TO A CRITICAL MASS WHERE IT MAKES SENSE TO FLIP IT TO A MANAGEMENT COMPANY, WITH THIS PROPERTY BEING WITHIN AN NCA, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR SOME NCA FUNDS TO BE DEDICATED TO SOME ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. YEP. AND THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE. OKAY, SO GO BACK TO. SO IF THERE'S ANY CITIZENS WISHING TO SPEAK ASK YOU TO COME TO THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE UP TO FIVE MINUTES BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME. IT'S NOT A BACK AND FORTH, YOU KNOW. SO YOU'RE NOT ASKING HIM QUESTIONS, BUT YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS. WE WILL WRITE THEM DOWN. AND THEN ONCE CITIZEN COMMENTS IS CLOSED, BRING THE APPLICANT BACK UP AND ADDRESS ANYTHING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SURE. GREAT JOB. MY NAME IS AUSTIN ROBERT BURNS. I LIVE ON 19930 PAVER BARNES ROAD, MARYSVILLE, OHIO. LET'S SEE HERE. THE FIRST ONE I HAD WAS THE POOL AREA. IS THAT A FOUR SEASON POOL AREA THAT'S OPEN ALL YEAR AND MAINTAINED ALL YEAR. THE TREES I AT THE
[00:35:02]
BEGINNING OR THE ENTRANCEWAY OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR PUTTING A BREAK OR A WINDBREAK FROM THE ROAD. IS THAT GOING TO CREATE A BLIND SPOT? AND WHAT IS THE SUGGESTED DISTANCE OFF THE ROAD TO THE TREES TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM CRASHING? THESE LICENSED ARBORISTS THAT ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE, THEY ARE TRYING. YOU HAD SUGGESTED THEY ARE GOING TO INTRODUCE FIVE DIFFERENT SPECIES. I WOULD SAY, WHAT ANIMALS DO THESE SPECIES SUPPORT AND OR DON'T SUPPORT, AND THAT MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE PUTTING THEM THERE, BECAUSE THEN THERE WOULD BE HAVE TO IN MY MIND, SOMEONE WOULD MAYBE HAVE TO MANAGE THE WILDLIFE AND BUY ADDITIONAL PLAYGROUNDS. DOES THE WORDING HAVE TO BE PLAYGROUND OR CAN WE SAY LIKE VOLLEYBALL COURT OR RING TOSS AREA, AMENITY AREA? OKAY. ABSOLUTELY. AND THOSE THAT WAS MY $0.05 OR MY $0.02. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR GUYS'S TIME. SURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.APPRECIATE IT. ANYTHING? ALL RIGHT, SIR? COME BACK UP TO THE PODIUM AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP, THINGS THAT ARE IN YOUR COURT. AND SO THE POOL AREA, THE AREA AROUND THE POOL INTENDED TO BE FOR SEASON OR IS IT A FREE SEASON? IT IS OPEN AIR. IT WILL HAVE A COMMERCIAL HEATER ON IT, AS DO MOST POOLS. I SEE IT OPENING IN LATE APRIL, CLOSING LATE SEPTEMBER FOR THE AREA AROUND THE POOL, BECAUSE YOU SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE PICNIC TABLES IN THAT. YEAH, IT'S ALL OPEN AIR, SO ACCESS YEAR ROUND IF SOMEONE WANTS TO HAVE A PICNIC IN JANUARY. I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'LL HAVE ACCESS INSIDE OF THE FENCED IN AREA BEFORE THE SAFETY WITH THE ANYONE INSIDE THE FENCE. OKAY. YES. SO. ALL RIGHT, TREES AT THE ENTRANCE, CREATING A BLIND SPOT. WE DEFINITELY CAN IMPEDE ON THE VISION TRIANGLES. I THINK EXTENDING THEM DOWN IN ON THE NORTHERN ENTRY ISN'T GOING TO DO THAT, SINCE WE ALREADY ARE WRAPPING THAT RADIUS RIGHT THERE. BUT THERE WAS A COMMENT IN THE STAFF REPORT TO WORK WITH THE THE ARBORIST AND URBAN URBAN FORESTRY URBAN FORESTER. SORRY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE TREES NOT ADJACENT TO STOP SIGNS. RIGHT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT DISTANCE. I THINK IT WAS 30FT FROM INTERSECTIONS WAS THE NUMBER THAT I'M RECALLING SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, BUT IT'S MORE DETAILED FINAL ENGINEERING THAT WE HAVE. WE DON'T HAVE A SIGNAGE PLAN RIGHT NOW TO INTEGRATE ALL THOSE LAYERS. BUT I THINK ONCE WE COMPILE THAT INFORMATION ON A PHASE BY PHASE BASIS, WE'LL HAVE MORE THAN LIKELY NEED TO SUBMIT A STREET TREE PLAN FOR EACH PHASE TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S NO CONFLICTS WITH STREET LIGHTS, STREET SIGNAGE, AND INTERSECTION AND LINES OF SIGHT ARE PART OF THAT EVALUATION.
AND WE'LL BE AND SOMETIMES IT'S IT'S UNAVOIDABLE BECAUSE WE HAVE DRIVEWAY LOCATIONS AND THEN PEOPLE DON'T WANT THAT STREET TREE RIGHT NEXT TO THE MAILBOX OR, YOU KNOW, PLANNED OUT RIGHT IN THEIR APPROACH. AND THEY WE GIVE PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO FLIP THEIR GARAGE ORIENTATION. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE GIVE AND TAKE. SO WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WORK ON AS NEEDED BASIS AS THOSE SCENARIOS COME TO LIGHT. OKAY. AND THEN AS FAR AS THAT, I'M JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT WITH, YOU KNOW, EVALUATE THAT SOUTHERN AREA AS ADDING AN AMENITY SPACE, WHETHER THAT'S ANOTHER PLAYGROUND OR AS SUGGESTED, PERHAPS SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S APPROPRIATE, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S VOLLEYBALL COURTS OR WHATNOT. BUT JUST KEEPING IN MIND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE'RE MANDATING IT HAS TO BE A PLAYGROUND. BUT, YOU KNOW, THOSE THEY MARKET WELL. SO THEY DO SELL US MORE HOUSES. SO WITH THAT, I MEAN, THAT WAS THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD WRITTEN DOWN TO TREES. OH YEAH, I SKIPPED THAT BECAUSE THAT'S MORE FOR THE URBAN FOREST FORESTER. YEAH. SO AND, AND THERE'S, THERE'S MANY MORE SPECIES OF TREES. THIS IS INTRODUCING 3 TO 5 ADDITIONAL SPECIES. AND THEY HAVE I MEAN LET'S SEE HERE. I WILL TELL YOU I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO ANY SHAGBARK TREES BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE THE INDIANA BAT. I MEAN, THEY HAVE THESE ARE SOME OF THE SPECIES OF TREES THAT ARE PERMITTED WITH THEIR PUD. SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF TREES TO CHOOSE FROM. TREES ADDING 3 TO 5 MORE. YEAH. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE 3 TO 5 ARE ON THIS ALREADY. AND IT'S JUST TO ADD
[00:40:06]
IT INTO THAT LOCATION. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING IT WILL WORK WITH. SO THERE WILL BE A DIVERSITY OF TREES AND PLANTS ALL THROUGHOUT. SO OKAY, SO GIVEN THAT ASK THE BOARD HAS, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THESE CONVERSATIONS, ANYONE ELSE COME UP WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS APPLICATION? I'M HERE. NOPE. ALL RIGHT. SO I ASSUME THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE US VOTE ON APPROVAL. YES, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOTION FOR APPROVAL.THANK YOU. CHAD. OH, YES. I'M SORRY ASKING THAT. YOU LOOK AT THE BUFFERING ON THAT NORTH ENTRANCE ONTO AMARIN, WRAPPING THE TREES AROUND. REVIEW THE MOUNDING ALONG THE BUFFERING AREAS AND YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S CONTINUOUS, BUT PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, UP AND DOWN SWELLING.
WORK WITH CITY URBAN FORESTER ON TREE TYPES AND DIVERSITY AND THEN EVALUATE THE ADDITIONAL AMENITY SPACE, PLAYGROUND OR WHATNOT. YES, THAT ONE MOTION FOR APPROVAL. THANK YOU. SIR, CAN I HAVE A ROLL CALL, PLEASE? MR. YES. MR. NICKERSON? YES. MR. YES. MR. ENGEL YES. MR. NAVARRO. YES. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU TO WORK WITH THE CITY.
