From YouTube: City Council Meeting - January 23, 2018
Description
January 23, 2018
Asheville City Council Meeting
A
A
A
A
C
My
name
is
Ken
Hutton
on
the
transportation
department
director
and
the
update
I
want
to
concentrate
on
today
is
with
our
consultant
team
that
we
hired
Sam
sports
Consulting
LLC.
You
gave
us
permission
to
negotiate
contract
with
them
and
we
sign
that
contract
in
October
and
then
on
October
the
12th.
They
came
down
from
Chicago
and
had
a
kickoff
and
stakeholders
meeting
on
that
day.
Then,
during
that
day,
we
had
three
separate
meetings.
C
The
market
community
in
East,
West,
Asheville,
Neighborhood,
Association
and
and
during
that
timeframe
it
was
over
a
span
of
several
hours
and
each
group
came
in
and
had
dedicated
30
minutes
of
time
to
talk
to
the
design
team
face
to
face
to
give
them
an
idea.
What
some
of
their
concerns
were,
so
they
began
working
for
us.
They
would
have
a
good
idea
of
some
of
the
things
that
they
needed
to
look
out
for
there's
four
basic
things
that
we
are
tasking
the
design
team
to
do
for
us.
C
First,
one
is
looking
at
things
from
an
urban
design
perspective
and
any
surplus
property
redevelopment
opportunities
that
we
can
work
with
the
d-o-t
to
kind
of
set
in
motion
so
that
one
day
when
this
project
is
constructive
and
done
that
there
would
be
opportunities
for
us
to
go
in
and
redevelop
some
areas
there
will
be.
Another
item
would
be
to
review
some
of
the
transportation
designs
that
have
been
going
on
to
make
sure
that
they
are
what
the
city
would
like
to
see:
greenways
planning
and
then
the
last
one.
C
Is
the
aesthetics,
betterments
concepts
concepts,
and
so
far
most
of
you
have
been
hearing
about
this
list
that
we've
been
creating
that
we're
calling
the
betterment
and
those
are
items
that
we
may
have
to
pay.
100%
of
that
item
we
may
have
to
pay
a
partial
part
of
that
or
the
deed.
We
may
not
have
to
pay
anything
for
it.
So,
like
the
sidewalks,
the
bike
lanes
those
kind
of
pedestrian
amenities.
Those
are
the
things
we're
talking
about
there,
but
there's
a
whole
nother
aspect
that
we
will
be
looking
at
and
that's
purely
from
aesthetics.
C
So
if
you're
familiar
with
the
noise
wall,
that's
out
on
I-40
towards
Inca,
Candler
and
they've
got
the
leaves
on
it
and
the
mountains
in
the
wall
itself.
It's
a
something
we
desire,
then
we
would
have
a
committee
that
would
help
put
that
together.
So
one
day
you
are
going
to
see
a
large
list
of
things
that
we
would
like
to
do
and
I
would
like
to
stand
up
here
and
tell
you
that
we
got
money
for
all
of
them.
C
The
changes
are
we
won't
so
you'll
have
to
pick
and
choose
on
that,
but
we're
going
to
have
this
consultant
team
to
help
lead
us
through
that
process
and
that
would
be
coming
up,
probably
in
the
next
two
to
three
months,
we'll
be
getting
going
on
that
and
with
that
I'll
be
trying
I'll
be
glad
to
try
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
at
this
time.
Okay,.
D
Can
I
just
add
I
you,
you
may
have
said
this,
but
the
we've
seen
at
least
some
initial
results
of
the
thinking
of
the
Schwartz
team,
and
you
know
I,
think
we're
where
the
I-26
or
the
city's
I-26
team
kind
of
is
coming
out.
Is
that
that
Patton
Avenue
reclaiming
that
Patton
Avenue
corridor
is
the
priority
for
the
city
reclaiming
it
for
development?
C
Will
be
having
a
conference
call
later
in
the
week
that
I'll
get
a
better
update
on
how
that's
going
and
in
some
of
the
other
things
that
we
may
have
to
do
on
that
they
have.
The
DoD
has
been
real
good
to
share
everything
that
they
have
with
our
team
and
they've,
been
very
cooperative
and
trying
to
help
them
understand
it.
So
I
think
we're
off
on
a
good
foot.
So
far.
A
All
right
that
concludes
our
presentations
and
reports.
We
have
several
public
hearings
items
for
tonight.
The
first
is
a
public
hearing
to
consider
the
conditional
zoning
of
153
smokey
park
highway
from
highway
business
district,
conditional
zoning
to
commercial
expansion,
district
conditional
zoning
for
the
expansion
of
a
multi-tenant
commercial
development
for
Ingalls
marketing
and
Jessica
Bernstein
is
going
to
talk
to
us
about
this
project.
Thank.
E
You
mayor
councilmembers,
members
of
the
public,
as
was
stated,
this
is
a
conditional
zoning
request
from
highway
business
to
commercial,
a
highway
business
and
conditional
zone
to
commercial
expansion
for
the
renovation
and
redevelopment
of
an
existing
shopping
center
gives
you
an
idea
of
the
project
site.
This
is
smokey
park
highway.
The
project
package
there's
three
parcels
with
a
combined
area
of
over
32
acres.
The
site,
as
you
can
see,
on
exhibits
fee
map,
is
partially
developed.
E
It's
the
location
of
an
Ingalls
market
currently
as
well
as
a
number
of
smaller
retail
and
commercial
buildings,
and
then
a
large
area
that
is
undeveloped.
This
is
the
State
Employees
Credit
Union
your
smokey
for
highway
Asheville
school.
This
is
the
area.
The
project
site
was
conditionally
zoned
back
in
2011
for
a
large
expansion
of
the
development,
but
that
was
never
completed
and
so
they're
back
to
us
today
and
now
we
have
the
commercial
expansion,
zoning
district
for
projects
of
this
size
and
that's
what
they're
under
consideration
for
renovating
and
redeveloping.
E
This
is
the
existing
Ingalls
here.
This
is
a
footprint
the
retail
shops
that
will
remain
and
there's
a
number
of
other
small
buildings
that
will
will
be
removed.
So
here's
the
site
plan
smoky
Park
highway
down
here.
That's
that
existing
strip
that
will
remain
in
the
same
parking
that
will
remain
and
then
everything
else
pretty
much
gets
redeveloped.
E
There's
about
there's
over
250,000
square
feet
of
retail
space
over
all
the.
As
you
can
see
on
the
site
plan,
they've
got
some
spaces
that
are
designated,
especially
for
the
Ingalls
use
this
future
retail.
It
could
be
one
or
two
larger
tenants
could
be
smaller
tenants
that
final
mix
hasn't
been
decided.
This
is
smaller,
tenants
now
and
then
they've
decided
on
three
out
parcels
that
would
be
developed
at
a
later
date
under
level
2
review,
but
would
have
to
comply
with
the
standards
that
are
in
the
commercial
expansion
district.
E
There
are
a
lot
of
different
standards
standards
in
this
zoning
district
and,
as
you
saw
on
the
staff
report,
there's
a
number
of
those
standards
where
the
project
complies,
but
also
a
number
of
conditions
such
a
large
site
and
with
that
tenant
makes
not
being
identified.
At
this
time,
the
applicant
submitted
a
grouping
of
conditions
and
worked
closely
with
staff
to
get
to
a
place
where
everyone
was
comfortable
with
what
they
were
requesting.
E
So
access
vehicular
access
is
from
two
driveways
from
smoky
park
highway.
Both
of
those
would
be
signalized
they're
under
DoD
control
and
those
signals
have
already
been
approved.
Thus,
the
zoning
district
only
allows
for
one
driveway
so
that
additional
driveway
as
a
condition,
and
then
this
this
isn't
not
a
city
street,
but
this
driveway
that
goes
provides
access
into
Lowe's.
There's
a
stub
out
from
when
the
State
Employees
Credit
Union
was
developed
and
they'll
have
that
internal
access
from
that
driveway
as
well.
E
They've
got
a
minimum
of
six
hundred
and
twenty
surface
parking
spots
that
are
proposed.
That's
another
condition,
that's
under
the
minimum
that
would
be
required
and
also
the
location
of
some
of
the
parking
factors
into
their
specialized
conditions
as
well.
There
are
access
and
mobility
standards
in
this
district,
similar
you
we
have.
This
is
the
first
project,
that's
come
through
with
the
commercial
expansion
but
similar
with
the
lodging
district
and
some
of
the
other
mixed-use
expansion
districts
that
you
have
seen
have
these
requirements
for
a
10-foot,
sidewalk
and
that's
been
provided.
E
Bike
lanes
into
the
development
has
been
provided.
They've
included
a
spot
for
a
transit,
a
transit
stop,
even
though
transit
doesn't
reach
quite
this
far
west
just
yet,
but
that
would
be
in
place
for
when
that
happens,
landscaping
an
open
space
are
required.
That's
been
provided
on
the
plans,
they
are
requesting
a
condition
related
to
landscaping
and
parking,
and
that
has
to
do
with
one
of
the
required
or
eliminating
some
of
the
required
medians
that
are
in
that
internal
parking
area.
E
They
are
required
to
have
a
property
line
buffer
because
of
the
residential
zoning
to
the
rear.
They've
increased
the
width
of
that
buffer,
so
it's
larger
than
would
typically
be
required,
and
that
was
some
something
that
came
out
of
those
discussions
back
in
2011
when
they
worked
with
on
the
proposal
at
that
time.
So
the
cap
added,
as
well
as
a
walking
path
from
the
neighborhood.
That
was
something
that
they
had
talked
with
neighbors
about
back
then
and
kept
in
with
this
design.
E
The
expansion
district
does
have
design
and
operational
standards
for
the
buildings,
and
so
that
also
is
noted
in
some
of
the
conditions.
They
will
be.
The
buildings
that
are
proposed
and
those
future
out
parcels
will
all
come
fly
with
the
fenestration
requirements,
but
there's
a
standard
for
operable
entrance
every
75
feet
and
with
larger
single
tenants
that
is,
can
be
problematic.
E
They
like
to
limit
the
number
of
entrances
they
have
for
security
purposes
in
lieu
of
meeting
that
requirement
for
the
operable
entrance,
the
applicant
seeking
to
get
to
the
intent
of
it
by
providing
some
sort
of
pedestrian
amenity
every
75
feet.
If
there
are
larger
single
tenants
that
don't
want
to
have
multiple
entrance
and
exit
points,
so
that
has
been
written
into
here
as
well.
I
have
gone
a
brushed
on
a
lot
of
the
conditions
and
notice
the
exhibit
v1
list.
E
This
is
fairly
lengthy
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
specific
questions
about
any
of
those
conditions
that
you
saw
having
to
do
with
the
parking
number
of
spaces
location
of
parking
landscaping.
Driveways
entrances
there's
also
a
number
of
very
specific
signage
conditions.
That
is
because
the
sign
code
was
not
amended
to
include
the
expansion
districts
when
we
created
those
districts.
E
So
that's
reflected
on
this
proposal
as
well
and
I
know
you
have
a
lot
of
renderings
that
were
submitted
with
the
application,
so
you'd
be
have
a
very
clear
understanding
of
what
they're.
What
they're,
proposing
and
like
I
said,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
know
that
they
would
also
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
talk.
Any
more
did
give
any
more
detail
about
any
of
this.
The
project
was
approved
with
conditions
by
the
TRC
in
November.
They
held
the
required
neighborhood
meeting.
E
The
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
unanimously
supported
this
project
at
their
meeting
in
December
and
staff
does
recommend
support
of
this
request.
City
adapted
plans
and
visions
for
the
area
do
anticipate
this
type
of
commercial
development
along
the
corridor
and
that
they've
included
a
lot
of
these
multimodal
and
design
elements
that
we've
put
into
the
commercial
expansion
district.
It
means
it's
going
to
greatly
enhance
that
existing
shopping
center
and
the
new
uses
that
will
come
there.
D
E
D
Right
so
I,
the
one
of
the
justifications
for
that
is
the
reduction
in
parking
or
the
reduction
of
parking
is
only
fourteen
percent
that
it
seems
like
they're,
asking
for
a
fifty
percent
reduction
in
the
number
of
pedestrian
pathways
and
landscape
strips,
which
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
So
that
may
be
a
better
question
better
for
the
applicant,
but
they.
E
F
G
The
madam
mayor,
council
of
Wyatt
Stevens,
have
practiced
law
at
Robertson.
Stephens
here
in
town
run
around
the
corner.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
Engels
with
me.
Tonight
are
a
number
of
folks.
We
have
the
architect.
We
have
the
land
planner.
We
have
the
guy,
that's
responsible
for
all
the
leasing
and
something
we're
and
they're
here.
To
answer
any
specific
questions
you
may
have,
but
let
me
go
right
to
counsel
1a
fields.
G
Question
you're,
correct
the
zoning
would
call
for
you
see
this
one
right
here
and
this
one
here
would
call
for
four.
It's
my
understanding
and
mr.
Cox
and
land
planner
can
explain
this,
probably
better
than
I.
Can
it
has
to
do
with
how
customers
navigate
their
parking
lot
both
on
foot
in
through
on
cars?
G
If
it,
you
know
when
you
shop
at
English,
you
know
and
you
shop
at
them,
and
these
big
parking
lots
people
you
park
where
you
can
find
a
spot
and
they
sort
of
walk
through
to
get
to
where
they
want
to
go,
and
it
just
didn't
make
sense
to
add
to
have
those
four
blocks
there.
It
was
going
to
create
some
odd
traffic
patterns
and
I.
G
Think
angles
is,
is
open
to
reconsidering
that
if
it's,
it's
really
important
to
you,
but
a
fair
amount
of
thought
went
into
that
and
a
fair
amount
of
thought
went
into
the
whole
plan,
including
the
signage
other
things
I
will
tell.
You
is
I'll.
Show
you
in
a
minute
the
landscaping
is,
is
considerably
more
particularly
on
the
back
of
the
buffer
than
is
required.
The
landscaping
budget
for
this
project
is
over
$350,000,
so
the
site
most
of
you
are
in
it.
But
this
is
Asheville
school
over
here.
That's
the
existing
angles.
G
That's
an
existing
building
that
would
stay.
That's
the
State
Employees
Credit
Union.
All
of
these
buildings
would
be
removed
under
the
plan
this
building
this
site,
the
original
Ingalls
was
built
in
1974.
This
particular
building
was
constructed
in
1995.
So
it's
time
to
upgrade
this
building.
As
you
can
see,
if
you've
been
out
there,
you
know
what
it
looks
like
just.
H
G
G
What
is
proposed
for
that
building
is
going
to
go
from
53,000
square
feet
to
74,000
square
feet
and
it
will
look
identical
to
the
Inca
store
Ingalls,
that's
a
that's!
A
photograph
of
the
store.
That's
just
a
couple
of
miles
down
the
road.
Just
like
that
store.
This
will
have
the
rock
facing
it
will
have
all
the
same
signage
that
that
store
had
landscaping
out
as
well
as
well.
Here's
a
slightly
different
view.
G
Now,
a
lot
of
thought
over
the
last
25
years
has
gone
into
these
Ingles
stores.
As
you
know,
if
you
go
into
one
of
these
either
stores,
you
notice
a
number
of
things
like
there's
a
lot
of
light
in
there.
So
planning
has
gone
into
the
architectural
designs
so
that
they
they
gather
the
light
and
they
gather
the
heat
from
the
light
and
they
use
that
for
energy
purposes.
They
have
a
number
of
energy-efficient
features.
This
store
would
be
approximately
64
percent
energy
reduction
over
an
average
store.
G
So
you
take
you,
take
a
store
that
was
53,000
square
feet.
You
had
20,000
square
feet
and
is
actually
more
energy
efficient.
It's
got
a
high
reflective,
roofing
membrane.
Led
lighting,
it's
got
high
efficiency,
HVAC
and
water
heating
equipment.
They
literally
reclaimed
the
heat
from
all
the
things
in
a
grocery
store
that
generate
heat.
They
use
that
to
heat
the
space
when
it's
cold
and
likewise
the
refrigeration
units
you
can
think
about
those
they
reclaimed
some
of
the
cold
from
that
and
use
that
for
air
conditioning.
G
So
it's
a
this
is
a
state-of-the-art
store
with
a
lot
of
thought
that
has
gone
into
it.
The
current
number
of
employees
that
store
has
is
about
55
to
60,
with
the
added
square
footage
you
add
a
pharmacy,
you
had
a
Starbucks,
you
had
a
Asian
restaurant.
There
will
be
between
275
to
300
employees
in
that
store,
35%
of
them
will
be
full-time.
All
full-time
employees
and
engels
are
offered
health
insurance
that
they
wanted.
G
So
you
know
this
is
a
significant
improvement
if
you
just
focus
on
the
ingles
aspect
of
this
project,
but
as
Jessica
pointed
out,
it's
a
bigger
cycling
and
apologize
would
get
a
phone
here
this.
This
will
give
you
some
idea
on
this
plan
of
what
it
will
look
like.
There
will
be,
of
course,
an
I
market
gas
station
on
the
site,
some
of
those
buildings
that
I
showed
you
earlier
will
be
removed.
G
There
will
be
a
building
here
and
I
can't
announce
the
tenant,
but
you
would
recognize
that
tenant
must
needed
in
that
area.
There'll
be
a
car
wash
beer
and
then
these
other
sites
have
not
yet
been
determined
state
employees.
Credit
union
used
to
be
here,
that's
one
of
those
buildings
that
will
be
removed
and,
of
course,
they're
here
now
and
they
own
that
site.
I
mention
the
landscaping.
G
Here's
here's
the
landscaping
plan,
there's
a
pretty
there's
going
to
be
nothing
built
back.
This
is
a
pretty
significant
buffer
between
this
facility
in
the
neighborhood
there's
an
existing
path.
Apparently
that
leads
back
into
the
neighborhood
and
we're
gonna
improve
that
path,
not
a
vet,
but
improve
it.
So
it's
safer
to
walk
on
so
the
neighbors
can
access
the
facility
when,
when
you
see
down
here,
there's
an
existing
traffic
light
here
and
we're
gonna
improve
the
crosswalk.
You
know
folks,
students
and
employees
from
Asheville
School
will
walk
over
to
the
store.
G
This
is
nothing
we
can
do
about
that
bridge,
but
within
the
development-
and
this
shows
it's
slightly
better-
there's
all
kinds
of
connectivity
which
the
city
wants
and
should
want,
so
that
folks
can
walk
and
ride
their
bike
between
in,
among
all
all
of
these
areas,
you're
not
required
to
to
get
in
your
car
to
go
somewhere,
so
you've
got
crosswalks
and
things
of
that
nature.
There
will
be.
The
d-o-t
has
approved
an
additional
traffic
light
here.
G
They
did
not
believe
its
kind
of
material
affect
the
traffic
in
that
part
of
the
roadway,
but
it's
needed
and
it'll
make
it
safer.
The
signage
will
be
just
like
you've,
seen
at
other
Ingles
stores,
as
Jessica
pointed
out
the
the
way
this
the
signage
works
on
a
in
a
project
like
this.
It's
a
negotiated
process.
Obviously
Ingles
would
like
more
signage.
They
would
like
bigger
signs
because
it
makes
it
easier
to
lease
out
this
extra
space,
but
the
city.
G
Understandably,
wants
smaller
signs,
less
garish
signs,
less
glaring
signs,
and
so
that's
the
negotiated
process
and
what
we
came
up
with
is
in
the
packet.
I
can
go
through
it
if
you
want
to
discuss
it,
but
a
very
reasonable
series
of
small
standard
signs
that
will
work
for
Ingalls
and
their
work
for
the
proposed
tenants.
This
will
be
the
sign
package
for
this
entire
facility,
so
there
won't
be
a
bunch
of
new
signs
coming
in
when
we
lease
out
space,
because
that
doesn't
work
that
way.
G
You
know
this
is
the
commercial
expansion
district
that
this
council,
or
within
the
last
12
months,
approved
you
know
in
under
the
highway
business
we
may
not
have
even
had
had
to
come
here,
but
but
you
changed
that
so
large
enough
project
that
we're
here
and-
and
you
know
we're
asking
for
your
approval.
I
would
just
you
know,
point
out
just
a
couple
of
statistics,
because
I
think
they're
worth
mentioning.
G
You
know
angles
angles
as
a
good
corporate
citizen,
we
all
shop
at
angles,
but
you
don't
think
about
the
fact
that
they
have
4,500
employees
in
Buncombe,
County
alone,
1,500
of
whom
live
in
the
or
from
the
city
and
work
in
the
city
last
year.
This
is,
they
I
was
going
to
show
you
a
video,
but
we
don't
have
any
audio-visual
today,
but
they
did
a
little
two-minute
clip
to
sort
of
show
what
they
did
to
give
back
to
the
communities
in
which
they
serve.
G
Last
year
they
donated
16
million
pounds
of
food
supported,
3,000,
local
farms
and
businesses
or
businesses
like
Hickory
Nut
gap,
farms,
sunburst
trout,
company.
They
don't
have
to
sell
their
products,
but
they
know
that's
important
to
the
communities
that
we
serve.
They
donated
more
than
a
million
and
a
half
to
local
community
events
raised
over
a
million
school
supplies
for
over
3,000
local
schools.
Now
a
lot
of
these
are
in
other
states,
but
their
main
footprint
is
North.
G
Carolina
I've
represented
them
for
15
years
and
they've
got
a
lot
of
stores
here
they
serve
not
only
this
community,
but
all
these
little
small
communities.
You
know
across
Western
North
Carolina,
so
we
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
about
this
project.
I
I
I
M
K
D
D
I
guess
I,
don't
know
I'll
just
say:
I
mean
I.
Do
I
I
will
always
vote
in
favor
of
trees
and
people
over
asphalt
and
parking
spaces,
and
it
seems
to
me
there
is
an
opportunity
for
at
least
one
additional
pedestrian
pathway
from
that
first
tenant
up
to
the
market
in
the
same
way
that
there
is
one
from
the
second
tenet
up
and
I
realize
me
asking
for
that:
I
mean
I,
don't
know
what
the
staff
thinks
about.
If
that
would
require
any
reduction
of
parking.
D
D
A
J
The
proposal
supports
the
strategies
found
in
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
on
infill
development
in
an
area
with
existing
infrastructure
and
multimodal
transportation
elements
to
the
project
provides
open
space,
a
larger
than
required
landscape
buffer
and
a
safe
pedestrian
and
safe
pedestrian
connections
to
residential
and
institutional
uses
in
the
facility
vicinity
and
3.
The
proposal
updates
and
expands
an
existing
retail
center
following
new
guidelines
that
provide
more
focus
on
the
design
of
the
site
and
buildings
with
fenestration
and
building
placement
standards.
A
Motion,
ok,
wait
up.
The
only
thing
I
would
say
is
that
I
think
the
staff
report
has
the
motion
from
pansies
because
we're
not
recommending
approval.
We
are
moving
to
approve
Oh,
so
Janelle,
so
just
that
clarification
I
moved
to
approve.
Okay
now
did
we
have
a
sidebar
here?
Are
we
good?
Okay,
all
right,
good,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
nay,.
A
A
P
Thank
You
mayor
members
of
council,
this
rezoning
application
was
a
little
bit
unique
in
that
it
seeks
to
essentially
replace
or
undo
a
conditional
zoning
that
was
approved
back
in
2000
back
in
2000.
These
two
parcels
were
one
parcel
and
the
applicant
at
the
time
came
before
council
to
do
the.
What
is
the
predecessor
to
our
current
conditional
zoning,
which
was
a
conditional
use
rezoning?
P
The
purpose
of
that
conditional
use
rezoning
in
2000
was
to
allow
for
the
adaptive
reuse
of
the
existing
single-family
structure,
that
was
on
the
property
and
at
the
time,
the
property
and
the,
and
that
rezoning
was
approved
and
the
property
was
we
not
redeveloped,
but
the
structure
was
reused
and
adapted
for
a
small
dental
practice
that
practice
continued
for
many
years
and
then
more
recently,
the
property
owners,
who
were
the
original
applicants,
sold
that
practice
to
a
new
dental
practice
that
subdivided
the
property
in
order
to
retain
ownership
of
the
northern
parcel.
It's
tract
too.
P
So
the
request
that's
before
you
here
tonight
is
those
to
property
owners
collectively
petitioning
the
city
to
rezone
the
southern
portion,
the
tract
one,
the
larger
portion
that
currently
supports
that
dental
practice
to
office,
which
is
the
adjacent
zoning
designation
and
for
the
northern
parcel
tract
too
to
be
rezone,
are
rs8,
which
was
which
is
directly
adjacent
and
the
original
zoning
designation.
The
northern
parcel
tract
too,
is
currently
undeveloped.
There
are
no
specific
development
plans
for
it,
so
the
RSA
zoning
designation
would
support
a
single
family
home
and
the
lot
would
be
conforming
for
that.
P
H
O
I
journey
fulfilling
I
live
on
Morningside
Drive,
which
is
off
of
Brevard
Road.
My
comment
is
in
regards
to
Brevard
Road,
which
I
know
is
under
D
ot
that
but
I
think
it's
relative.
That
road
is
very
heavily
traveled.
There's
a
lot
of
potholes
there's
a
school
zone,
I
walk
and
ride
my
bike
up
there,
it's
extremely
dangerous.
There
have
been
deaths
coming
around
the
curve
near
Laurelwood
and
at
one
time
I
was
waiting
at
the
bus.
Stop.
O
There
is
another
person
that
is
zoned
commercial
on
Brevard
Road
right
behind
my
neighborhood,
and
we
moved
in
there
and
there's
a
forest
there,
and
when
we
moved
in
there
the
forest
was
basically
the
selling
point
now,
there's
a
concern
that
that
particular
parcel,
not
necessarily
the
one
we
being
discussed
I
just
feel
it's
relative,
maybe
zoned
commercial
and
it
could
be
sold
and
paved
over.
And
if
it's
that's
the
case,
it
will
definitely
lower
property
values.
A
B
The
rezoning
will
one
supports
Smart
Growth
goals
by
signing
compatible
zoning
designations
consistent
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood
2
removes
the
ordinance
attached
to
the
property,
providing
more
flexibility
for
future
growth
and
development
and
3
returns
a
portion
of
the
property
to
the
original
zoning
designation.
Second,.
A
All
right,
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all,
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
third
item
on
our
public
hearing
agenda
is
to
rezone
an
address
at
deeper
Street
from
RM
8,
residential
multifamily,
medium
density,
district
to
HR
for
Haywood
Road,
traditional
zoning
and
for
the
second
time
right
second
time,
that's
gonna
have
David
here.
F
L
Urban
planner,
with
planning
and
urban
design
department.
What
we
have
before
you
today
is
a
straight
rezoning
request
for
nine
nine,
nine,
nine
Deaver
Street.
The
rezoning
request
is
from
our
m8
medium
density,
multifamily
to
HR
for
traditional,
which
is
a
Haywood
Road
form
code
district,
just
for
orientation.
The
parcel
is
located
here.
The
north/south
section
of
Haywood
Road
is
just
to
the
east
and
then
just
off
this
map,
you
can
see
an
extending
map.
L
The
east/west
section
of
Haywood
Road
is
just
below
this
parcel
parcel
is
vacant
right
now
it
is
what
it
the
address
is
off
of
Deaver
Street.
However,
the
parcel
actually
does
not
front
on
deburr
Street
Deaver
Street
is
over
here.
Howard
Street
is
above
it
to
the
north
and
actually
fronts
on
a
relatively
unimproved
alley
that
reads
and
acts
as
a
driveway
to
a
single-family
residence
to
the
north
of
that
site.
L
L
Mixed
uses,
commercial
residential
one
thing
to
note
with
in
the
arm
for
district
the
new
constructions
at
three
stories
and
within
that
district
also
is
required
to
vegetate
a
buffer
when
it
is
adjacent
to
residential
district.
So
in
this
case
to
the
north
and
to
the
west
of
this
site
would
required
a
20-foot
vegetative
buffer
that
can
be
reduced.
If
a
wall
is
built,
it
can
be
reduced
down
to
ten
feet.
L
The
subject
parcel
is
surrounded
to
the
north
and
west
by
single-family
residential
homes
that
are
zone
RM
8
to
the
east
is
HR
4,
there's
three
existing
single-family
residences.
If
the
approved
level
2
project
moves
forward,
those
residents
are
slated
to
be
removed
and
to
the
south
of
that
site
is
a
gravel
lot
used
for
parking
right
now.
L
But
said
two
considerations
stated
before
that
this
is
adjacent
to
two
other
HR
districts
to
form
based
districts,
that
buffer
will
be
required
adjacent
to
the
residential
uses,
and
one
thing
to
note
also
is
the
orientation
of
this
law
and
the
orientation
of
the
other
existing
residential
Lots,
most
of
the
residential
Lots
front
on
Howard
Street,
and
it's
a
traditional
neighborhood
pattern
or
Deaver
Street.
It's
a
traditional
neighborhood
pattern.
This
is
the
only
parcel
that
fronts
off
of
that
would
not
disrupt
the
traditional
neighborhood
pattern
that
is
in
that
area.
L
That
finds
is
reasonable
and
consistent
with
city
adopted
plans
and
strategic
goals
for
development
in
this
area.
This
was
before
planning
and
zoning
on
January
3rd,
and
it
was
recommended
for
approval
unanimously.
That
completes
my
presentation,
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
any.
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
members
of
council,
I'm,
Suzanne
Godsey
with
siteworx
studios
and
I,
just
have
one
graphic
that
I
wanted
to
share
with
you.
That
I
think
helps
to
support
this
rezoning
request
and
it
is
a
comparison
of
the
setbacks
and
development
standards
between
rm8
and
HR
4,
and
are
you
working
with
the
uppercut.
Q
Okay,
so
it
or
an
eight
seven,
eight,
your
front
setbacks
for
fifteen
feet
which,
on
the
unnamed
and
Aliens
things
I'm
right
here,
changing
that
to
HR,
for
you
would
have
a
five
foot
setback
off
of
the
unnamed
alley
for
rm8,
first
side
setback.
You
would
have
a
six
foot
against
this
adjacent
residential
design
property,
but
changing
it
to
HR,
for
it
would
be
a
fifteen
foot
setback.
Q
In
addition,
there
would
be
a
ten
or
twenty
foot
buffer
that
would
be
required
also
for
any
kinetic
element,
piece
of
property
and
then
for
the
rear
setback
for
RMA.
That's
fifteen
same
thing
for
HR,
for
there's,
open
space
required
in
HR
for
and
I'll
go
to.
The
building
height
is
three
stories
and
HR
for
it's
only
five
feet
higher
than
what's
allowed
and
or
m8.
Q
R
Good
evening
I'm
Jim,
Frank,
Ford
I'm,
a
citizen
and
a
resident
in
the
neighborhood
I
actually
live
on
Howard
and
Deaver
on
one
one
house
away
from
the
corner
of
Beaver
and
I
guess.
My
comments
were
mostly
about
the
level
to
plan
and
my
information
comes
from
what
I
just
heard
and
also
from
a
news
article
in
Citizen
Times
earlier
this
this
month,
where
they
talk
about
the
level
two
development
total
of
five
point.
One
point:
three
acres
residential
units
from
twenty
to
fifty
mixed,
mixed,
residential
and
commercial,
and
the
address
is
Deaver.
R
Okay
and
Deaver
that
that
section
of
Deaver,
that's
right
there
is-
is
a
1-1
one.
Car
that
you
can
go
up
to
Eva
and
Howard
is
about
a
car
and
a
half
there's
no
sidewalks
there,
and
the
exit
onto
Haywood
is
pretty
small.
It's
on
a
bend
and
it's
fairly
dangerous.
So
my
concerns
for
the
level
two
are
mostly
parking
traffic
access
and
also
turn
over
within
the
within
the
level
two
project.
R
Also,
with
respect
to
access
have
heard
that
the
the
entrance
and
exit
is
going
to
be
through
through
Deaver
or
how
and
it's
got
frontage
on
two
sides
of
Haywood.
Why
not
come
in
and
out
of
Haywood?
That
would
be
much
safer
for
the
population.
There's
a
lot
as
I
said,
there's
a
lot
of
small
small
roads
around
there
deeper
in
Howard,
of
both
very
small
and
with
respect
to
turnover
I,
you
know
have
nothing
against
Airbnb,
but
and
I.
Don't
know
what
the
zoning
you
know.
Restrictions
are
for
Airbnb
they're
there.
They
cannot
do.
R
A
R
R
Said
that's
about
a
sweet,
streetcar
and
a
half
wide,
and
this
is
basically
one
car
and
if
the
level
to
entrance
and
exit
is
supposed
to
be
along
here
and
not
Haywood,
it's
gonna
be
a
mess.
It's
going
to
be
a
master
everybody
who
lives
there,
especially
if
there's
an
adequate
parking.
So
I
just
ask
that
those
things
be
taken
into
consideration
with
the
level
2
project.
A
S
L
This
is
the
level
2
project
known
as
Beecham's
curve
in
a
state
before
this.
Really,
if
this
project
were
not
to
move
forward
in
that
parcel
were
to
get
resumed,
it
would
be
under
the
all
of
the
HR
for
zoning
districts.
So,
although
it's
pertinent
to
talk
about
this
in
the
sense
that
it
is
affects
part
of
the
rezoning
request
here,
let
me
orient
myself
so
Hayward
Road
is
in
this
vicinity.
L
This
is
the
north/south
section,
east/west
section:
the
access
will
be
off
own
Haywood
Road
in
this
location
and
then
would
be
off
of
Hayward
Road
in
this
location.
This
is
existing
right
now,
and
this
is
our
bakery
archetype
brewery
that
area.
So
they
have
an
access
easement
through
that
area,
and
then
there
will.
There
are
in
discussion
of
the
transportation
department
to
me:
have
an
exit
out
on
deeper
street
and
that's
being
worked
out.
L
Right
now
goes
approved
with
conditions,
and
that's
one
of
the
conditions
is
to
work
with
transportation,
identify
that
exit
there
and
that
may
go
away
and
I
don't
know
if
the
applicant
is
willing
and
wanting
to
talk
about
it.
But
your
main
access
points
will
be
on
Haywood
and
north/south,
and
east/west,
okay
and.
D
H
D
Q
As
part
of
a
level
two,
we
are
required
to
have
a
neighborhood
meeting
and
I
believe
that
we
had
three
people
show
up
to
her
neighborhood
meeting
for
us
to
review
the
project.
So
we
did
make
our
efforts
with
the
city
requirements
to
notify
the
neighborhood
of
the
development,
but
our
phase
one
is
building
a
and
building
B,
and
these
two
buildings
front
on
Haywood
Road,
running
north-south
and
Hayward
red
running,
east-west
phase
2
will
be
212
unit
apartment
complexes
and
that
will
be
in
building
C
and
building
D
right
here.
Q
Q
J
Moved
to
approve
the
zoning
map,
amendment
from
r8,
multifamily,
medium
density
district
to
HR
for
traditional
district
and
find
that
the
request
is
reasonable
is
in
the
public
interest,
and
it's
consistent
with
the
Comprehensive
Plan
and
other
adopted
plans
in
that
one
opportunities
for
community
scale.
Development
are
enhanced
and
buffering
requirements
are
in
place
to
protect
residential
areas.
J
A
D
A
Something
like
we
got
some
clarification.
Yes,
okay,
we
are
moving
on
to
item
D,
a
public
hearing
to
consider
the
conditional
zoning
at
390
airport
road
from
highway
business
district
to
lodging
expansion.
Slash
conditional
zoning
for
the
development
of
a
lodging
facility
with
112
guest
rooms
of
sasha
is
here
to
talk
to
us,
but
right
off.
T
T
T
So
for
access
and
parking
the
hotel
is,
the
proposal
is
complying
with
our
standards
as
a
part
of
our
conditional
zone
and
providing
a
five-foot
sidewalk
that
leads
out
to
Airport
Road
along
Airport.
Road
d-o-t
has
just
created
a
new
sidewalk
along
Airport
Road,
so
this
would
connect
to
that
they're.
Also
providing
a
four
foot
bike
lane
slash
bike
path
that
would
also
lead
up
to
the
hotel
they're,
also
providing
a
pedestrian
access
to
the
Olive
Garden
like
a
striped
way,
so
that
people
have
a
safe
way
to
go
between
the
two
two
properties.
T
T
That,
and
so
that
is
the
illustration
that
they
have
provided
for
you,
the
conditions
for
this
requests
were
pretty
general
up
until
with
that
kind
of
that
frontage
being
reduced
was
the
only
one
in
the
last
few
days.
These
conditions
have
been
revised
and
I
believe
you
should
all
have
had
those
at
your
places
today.
T
So
some
of
those
conditions
that
are
being
proposed
is
that
the
hotel
would
provide
reasonable
transportation
as
it
like,
like
a
shuttle
to
different
locations
for
for
guests
bus
passes
for
employees
and
maps,
also
some
energy
recommendations,
some
energy
conditions
with
the
with
Duke,
Energy
and
I'll.
Let
them
discuss
that
a
little
bit
more
generally.
From
a
zoning
perspective,
this
proposal
does
seem
to
comply
and
fit
into
the
surrounding
environment.
There
are
a
number
of
hotels
in
the
surrounding
area,
it's
far
away
from
any
residential
areas.
T
So
that's
not
a
problem,
and
generally
our
comp
plan
that
we
are
under
now.
The
2025
plan
did
not
really
address
this
area
because
it
was
not
in
the
city
when
that
comp
plan
was
written,
so
they
are
also
I
should
say,
have
agreed
to
provide
a
bus,
transit,
shelter
at
the
bus
station
on
Airport,
Road
and
I.
Think
in
planning
it
sorry
so
required
reviews
which
I
did
go
over.
T
A
H
J
G
A
mayor-council,
it's
nice,
nice
to
be
back.
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
Windsor
Autry
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
they're
based
in
Greenville
South
Carolina
they've
been
around
for
30
years.
If
you've
heard
that
name,
it's
probably
because
you
think
about
the
residential
subdivisions
and
developments
that
they've
done
around
Western
North
Carolina,
including
all
around
Fletcher
Henderson
County,
as
well
as
Weaver
bill.
They
built
over
4,000
single-family
homes
in
Western,
North
Carolina
over
that
30-year
period
of
time,
so
they're
known
for
that,
but
they're
also
known
throughout
the
southeast.
G
For
other
developments.
You
see
this
top
image,
that's
in
Chattanooga
Tennessee!
That's
a
mixed-use.
Development
includes
condominium
buildings
as
well
as
retail
and
office
space,
and
you
see
in
the
bottom
image
that
is
a
Hampton
Inn
and
Suites
in
Roanoke
Virginia
that
they
built
they
owned
about
12
hotels
around
the
southeast,
including
South
Carolina,
Virginia,
Tennessee,
Florida
they're
in
it
for
the
long
term,
they're,
not
a
developer.
That
buys
these
things
and
flips
them.
In
fact,
some
of
the
hotels
they
own
they've
owned
for
more
than
20
years.
G
G
It
has
been
in
existence
almost
as
long
as
Windsor
all
three
and
they
manage
these
hotels
and
David
will
be
able
to
speak
to
you
about
sort
of
how
they
have
on
how
they
work
with
their
employees
and
what
they
do
operationally
to
be
as
efficient
as
they
can
possibly
be.
So
why
this
site
and
why
another
hotel?
That's
the
question
so
Sasha
showed
this
a
moment
ago.
This
this
is
this
site
has
remained
vacant
for
as
long
as
I
can
remember.
G
Yeah
ever
since
the
Olive
Garden
was
developed,
I
think
the
developer
probably
originally
thought
another
restaurant
would
go
in
there.
It's
kind
of
an
awkward
site.
If
you
think
about
it.
This
is
a
Google
Street
View.
Looking
back
into
the
project,
that's
that
little
office
building
has
been
there
forever
and
just
to
the
left
of.
There
is
the
Olive,
Garden
and
so
I
think
they
envisioned.
You
know
that
a
restaurant
would
go
in
there
and
a
restaurant.
If
you
turn
this
down,
a
restaurant
probably
will
go
in
there.
G
G
This
is
a
picture
of
the
home
two
Suites
at
the
Greenville
Airport.
Every
single
unit
has
a
kitchenette,
and
so
they
are
designed
for
travelers,
particularly
business
travelers,
who
want
to
stay
for
more
than
a
couple
of
nights
and
they
don't
want
to
have
to
go
out
and
buy
meals
for
all
three
meals.
They
have
a
little
kitchen
where
they
can
fix
food
for
themselves.
G
The
when
you,
when
you
go
to
Google,
Maps
and
I,
had
young
lady
in
our
office
prepare
these
maps.
For
me,
you
see
there
are
a
bunch
of
hotels,
but
there
are
not
very
many
quality
hotels
up
there.
You've
got
super8
Econolodge
comfort
in
Clarion
and
I
think
the
Clarion
it
burned
over
the
Christmas
holidays.
G
The
the
hotels
that
this
hotel
would
compete
with
include
the
Courtyard
by
Marriott,
the
Hampton
Inn
&
Suites,
that's
owned
by
John
Winkler
murders.
A
great
projects
been
around
since
1998
Vuitton
has
reinvested
and
done
a
nice
job
with
that
project
and
the
wingate
in
and
and
and
maybe
the
Fairfield
well.
G
My
clients
were
in
the
business
to
make
money,
and
so
they
wouldn't
put
a
hotel
in
there
if
they
didn't
think
it
can
make
money.
So
they
ran
a
report
and
this
is
publicly
available
data
and
they
discovered
that
during
the
year
2016,
when
you
include
their
Pierre
hotels,
the
ones
they
would
compete
with
the
ones
I
just
mentioned
your
500.
The
occupancy
rate
for
those
hotels
was
eighty
percent
occupancy
seven
days
a
week.
So
there's
massive
demand
for
hotels
in
that
part
of
the
county
that
is
not
being
met
by
the
existing
hotels.
G
This
is
a
little
hard
to
read,
but
we
we
went
in
and
we
had.
We
have
somebody
look
at
you
know.
Google
Maps
goes
back
to
1994,
that's
the
Google
Earth
image,
as
it
goes
back
that
far
and
a
number
of
these
hotels
existed
in
1994,
the
Comfort
Inn,
the
Clarion
in
the
super
8,
the
Econo
Lodge
and
the
Fairfield
Inn.
We
don't
actually
know
how
old
they
are,
but
they're
older
than
that.
G
So
you
say:
well,
what's
what's
the
target
market?
Well,
the
target
market
is
not
just
tourists.
If
you
think
about
that
part
of
the
county
and
you
think
about
where
we
have
manufacturing,
we
have
knit
in
the
flat
parts
of
Western
North
Carolina.
We
have
it
in
South
Buncombe.
We
have
it
in
Fletcher
in
northern
Henderson
County
this.
This
was
a
simple
Google
I
googled
manufacturers
and
Fletcher,
and
this
is
what
the
map
produced.
That's
where
the
hotel
would
be.
You
got
everything
from
raffle
attack
to
whole
castle.
G
To
can
creat
cycling,
a
client
of
ours.
You've
got
board
Warner
any
number
of
manufacturers
out
there.
Eaton
is
not
on
this
map,
but
mr.
Berger
will
talk
to
you
in
a
minute
about.
They
can
also
run
a
report
on
the
the
corporate
contracts
that
these
large
employers
have
with
hotels.
They
have
them
with
Hilton
and
maariyah
and
when
you
run
a
report,
eaten
alone
had
4,000
hotel
room
stays
in
this
area
last
year,
and
so
the
target
market.
G
For
this,
this
would
be
about
100
to
130
dollars
a
night
room
folks
that
would
come
in
and
they
would
call
on
these
manufacturers.
They
would
work
in
these
facilities
for
short
periods
of
time.
You
think
about
mechanics
that
would
come
in.
They
don't
want
to
stay
in
a
super
8.
They
want
to
stay
in
a
nice
new
well-built
Hotel
in
a
convenient
location
where
they
can
walk
to
restaurants.
G
H
G
G
The
14th
condition
here
is
that
the
the
owner/operator
developer
and
we
wrote
it
that
way
because
again,
hospitality,
America
they're
the
ones
that
they're
gonna
operate
it,
but
Windsor
Autry
will
develop
it.
We're
we
have
committed
to
reach
out
to
Duke
Energy
the
city
of
Asheville
water
department.
You
know
the
PS
NC
for
gas
and
find
out.
G
You
know
what
is
available
in
terms
of
as
we
construct
this
building
what's
available
in
terms
of
energy
efficiency
and
renewable
energy
option,
so
we
could
use
in
construction
and
that
we
could
use
in
the
operation
they've
already
committed
they're
going
to
recycle
whatever
they
can
in
terms
of
the
construction
materials
they
will
have
recycling
in
the
rooms.
You'll
hear
from
a
moment
in
a
moment
from
David
Berger
about
all
the
really
cool
things
that
Hilton
does
that,
and
this
is
a
Hilton
flagged
hotel.
G
One
of
two
in
the
area
of
the
Hampton
Inn
is
the
other
one
and
that's
the
final
condition
that
as
long
as
the
hotel
is
a
Hilton
brand,
the
hotel
will
participate
in
the
energy
and
resource
conservation
initiatives
offered
by
the
Hilton
and
you'll
hear
in
a
minute
there.
It's
actually
pretty
cool
some
of
the
stuff
they
do.
For
example,
they
don't
you
know
you'll,
you
won't
get
plastic
forks
anymore.
G
This
was
development
standards
or
its
established
to
ensure
the
integration
of
the
lodging
use
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood
and
to
minimize
adverse
impacts
on
adjacent
land
uses.
This
absolutely
does
that.
We've
received
no
opposition
from
anyone.
In
fact,
I
have
letters
and
hopefully,
you've
received
them
by
email
from
all
of
the
restaurants
and
stores
in
the
area.
Saying
yes,
we
want
this.
Yes,
we
need
this.
Yes,
we
need
a
new
decent
hotel
and
that's
it
in
that
area.
F
M
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council,
so
I'm
not
an
attorney
I'm,
not
a
developer
I'm,
not
an
urban
planner
I'm,
an
operator
and
I
think
that's
important,
because
in
two-and-a-half
years
from
now,
whenever
the
hotel
opens,
all
those
folks
will
be
gone
and
I'll
still
be
part
of
the
community,
and
so
will
the
employees
and
managers
at
the
hotel.
So
it's
important
that
you
have
a
face
with
that
and
that's
me:
I
started
with
hospitality,
American
2002
out
of
college
16
years
later,
I'm
a
partner
and
vice
president.
So
it's
a
great
company.
M
You
know
I
just
want
to
speak
in
facts,
and
the
facts
are
my
job
is
to
come
into
a
market
in
sable
this
work
and
and
go
around
go
to
Chili's
got
out
of
that
see
who's
staying
in
the
hotels-
and
you
know
this
is
public,
but
I
did
run
this
report
and
I
paid
for
it,
and
you
know
this.
This
sub
market
with
five
hotels
in
it,
is
running
a
almost
81
percent
occupancy.
M
If
you
know
anything
about
the
lodging,
business,
Sunday
nights
are
non-existent,
so
you
take
out
the
Sunday
nights
that
this
sub
market
is
running
about.
Eighty
four
eighty,
five
percent
occupancy
I
only
ran
five
hotels
in
the
sub
market
on
the
set,
which
was
the
Fairfield
of
Wingate,
the
courtyard
the
Hampton
and
the
Comfort
Inn
I
didn't
run
the
other
hotels,
because,
honestly,
nobody
would
pay
attention
to
those
hotels.
M
Whoever
is
working
your
corporate
sector
and
the
city
is
doing
a
fabulous
job.
In
2016,
the
city
of
Asheville,
through
Hilton
Hotels,
has
generated
almost
thirty
five
thousand
room
nights
in
corporate
business.
If
you
think
Marriott
Hilton,
that
are,
that
are
the
two
main
players
and
and
I
would
tell
you
they
are.
If
Marriott
produced
close
to
that
you're
generating
close
to
eighty
thousand
room
nights,
a
corporate
business
and
you're
in
your
city,
which
is
tremendous.
The
truth
is
people
that
travel
want
their
rewards
days.
They
don't
want.
M
Unfortunately,
they
don't
want
for
days
from
comfort
Econolodge.
They
wanted
from
Hilton
Marriott
as
a
developer,
which
I
told
you
I'm,
not
you
wouldn't
go
into
a
market
that
saturated
we
wouldn't
do
that.
The
difference
between
your
central
business
district
and
this
sub
market
and
rate
is
astounded.
M
M
We
do
things
the
right
way,
we're
part
of
the
community.
We
do
not
live
about.
500
employees
not
and
I
honestly,
do
not
know
what
your
minimum
wages,
not
one
employee
in
our
company,
makes
less
than
nine
dollars
an
hour.
That's
a
mandate
for
the
ownership
we
care
about
our
people.
I
could
come
up
here
in
grandstand
all
day
and
tell
you
who
we
are.
You
can
do
the
research
to
see
who
we
are
we're.
Reputable
company
that's
been
in
business
through
thirty
years,
started
our
journey
in
Johnson
City
Tennessee
in
1995.
M
In
a
77
room,
Hampton
Inn
five
managers
started
in
1995.
We
sold
that
hotel
in
2015
the
same
five
managers
were
in
that
building
ownership,
wrote
them
all
a
check
for
$15,000.
We
sold
the
hotel,
we
do
things
the
right
way
and
this
this
is.
This
is
really
remarkable
that
your
city,
which
is
known
as
a
tourist
hub,
is
generating
this
kind
of
room
nights
from
a
corporate
sector
and
that's
somewhere.
We
want
to
be
that's
what
this
brand
is.
M
F
M
A
H
A
B
A
comment,
so
we
changed
standards,
so
these
types
of
developments
have
to
come
to
us
and
it's
one
of
those
things
where
try
to
keep
a
very
pragmatic
view
on
voting
for
these
sorts
of
things.
I
will
point
out,
though
there
is
a
great
deal
of
Asheville
citizens
that
do
not
want
to
see
any
more
hotels,
I'm,
just
putting
it
out
there.
B
Keeping
that
in
mind,
though
it's
one
of
these,
it's
one
of
these
things
where
the
area
that
this
this
this
hotel
is
going
to
be
and
I,
don't
doubt
for
one
moment
that
you
have
a
good
product,
but
that
the
area
where
this
is
going
to
be
it's
kind
of
like
okay,
that's
near
the
that's
near
the
airport,
it's
on
a
busy
corridor
with
nothing
other
than
commercial
businesses.
It
makes
it
very
if
you
can't
put
a
hotel
there.
Where
can
you
actually
put
a
hotel?
B
It's
almost
in
Henderson
County,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
this
is.
This
is
not
one
of
those
situations.
I'm
gonna
support
the
project,
but
this
is
not
one
of
those
situations
where,
if
don't
act
like
you're,
given
the
city
of
Asheville,
something
because
there
are
tons
of
citizens
that
that
would
gladly
want
me
to
say
no
to
this
tonight
and
it
makes
it
really
tough.
When
you
really
look
from
the
business
side
of
it
to
say.
Well,
it's
not
inside
the
city
corridor.
B
D
I
I
appreciate
the
the
presentation
that
you
that
you
all
made
I
appreciate
you
sitting
down
with
us
ahead
of
time,
I'm
opposed
to
this
and
actually
quite
strongly
opposed
to
this
Sasha.
You
actually
helped
me
out
with
an
understanding,
is
telling
me
that
this
part
of
town
that
part
of
Regina
wasn't
wasn't
part
of
Asheville
and,
as
a
result,
wasn't
part
of
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
I
And
if
you
look
at
the
development,
that's
pretty
clear,
it
absolutely
is
and
and
what
our
role
is
tonight
in
City
Council
is
to
determine
whether
or
not
this
proposal
fits
within
is
complaint
within
the
Comprehensive
Plan
and
I
went
back
and
looked
at
it,
and
one
of
the
keys
that
we
talked
about
the
comprehensive
plan
is
a
mixed-use
land-use
pattern
or
mixed-use
developments,
and
buildings
should
be
should
be
encouraged.
And
if
you
look
around
that
and
I
respect
mr.
I
I
I
The
quote
you
know:
will
we
be
what
we
hear
a
lot
of
is,
is
their
house,
you
know
and
I
your
view
would
be
that
probably
a
restaurant
may
come
in
there
and
I
understand
that
perspective,
but
we
have
a
sidewalk,
that's
going
along
there
and
literally
less
than
a
half
a
mile
up.
The
road
is
an
Aldi
grocery
store,
the
one
that
you
mentioned.
This
is
on
a
bus
line
and
if
you
go
further
up
the
road,
there
is
actually
a
mobile
home
community
up
there.
I
So
there
are
residents
who
live
along
this
corridor,
and
so
so
again
you
know
my
perspective
here
is
in
looking
at
the
comprehensive
plan
and
looking
at
this
in
good
faith.
I,
don't
see
how
adding
an
11th
hotel
within
a
one
mile
radius
is
in
the
public.
Interest,
is
responsible
development
or
is
compliant
with
the.
What
the
comprehensive
plan
I.
U
Would
just
like
to
say
outside
of
land-use,
that
I
was
I
was
struggling
a
little
bit
because
when
you
show
the
numbers
you
all
are
banking,
but
you
made
a
statement
that
a
lot
of
your
employees
don't
get
paid
a
living
wage.
They
kind
of
shook
me
just
a
little
bit
and
honestly
I
am
struggling
with
this
tonight.
U
I
thought
the
location
was
great,
but
at
this
point
I
am
really
thinking
about
what
benefit
it
will
be
to
the
employees
and
the
residents
around
so
I
want
to
support
it
because
I
believe
the
location
of
because
of
the
location.
But
there
are
some
things
that
are
very
troubling
to
me
because
of
the
living
wage.
D
Cash
I
move
to
approve
the
conditional
zoning
request
for
highway
business
district
to
lodging
expansion
conditional
zone
for
the
Airport
Road
hotel
project
with
the
requested
conditions
and
find
that
the
request
is
reasonable,
is
in
the
public
interest
and
is
consistent
with
the
Comprehensive
Plan
and
other
adopted
plans
in
that
number
one.
The
project
is
located
in
a
well-established
commercial
area,
number
two
increases
pedestrian
connectivity
and
three,
a
new
shelter
will
be
built
at
an
existing
art,
stop
on
Airport
Road.
Second,.
I
A
You,
okay,
did
you
get
that
five
to
two?
Yes,
thank
you.
Okay!
Thank
you.
We
have
one
item
left
on
our
public
hearing
agenda
and
that
is
a
public
hearing
to
consider
the
conditional
zoning
of
1093
Tunnel
Road
and
three
o
teen
Park
Place
from
rs8
residential
single-family,
high
density
district
and
highway
business
district
to
highway
business
district,
conditional
zoning
for
the
development
of
a
commercial
use,
jessica,
speargun.
Yes,
thank.
E
You
mayor
councilmembers
members,
the
public
has
with
stated
conditional
zoning.
You
can
see
here
on
the
exhibit
a
map.
The
two
parcels
have
a
combined
area
of
approximately
0.35
acres.
This
is
a
small
site.
Here's
tunnel
road.
This
is
the
least
on
a
little
parcel.
There
was
previously
an
unopened
alley
between
these
two
parcels,
and
this
is
the
residential
parcel.
E
E
A
E
And
that
our
mapping
just
hasn't
quite
caught
up,
so
what
the
applicant
is
proposing
is
shown
on
this
site
plan
and
that
it's
actually
for
the
most
part
existing
out
there.
If
you
went
to
the
site
on
Tunnel
Road,
it's
the
location
of
elf
Auto
Center,
the
applicant
went
through
a
level
one
development
review
process
for
this
project
to
complete
the
the
plan.
Almost
as
as
seen
here,
she
is
it.
The
the
use
is
the
Auto
Center.
E
There
are
two
driveways
off
of
Tunnel
Road,
those
were
existing
previously
and
they
were
approved
to
remain
so.
That
is
the
the
vehicular
access
to
the
site
with
parking
in
front,
and
they.
This
is
that
previous
alley
behind.
So
the
applicant
went
through
this
process,
the
level
1
review
as
a
part
of
that
she
paid
a
fee
in
lieu.
At
that
time,
we
allowed
a
fee
in
lieu
to
be
paid
instead
of
constructing
the
sidewalks
along
o
teen
Park
Place
and
pine
cone
Drive.
E
She
petitioned
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment
successfully
to
receive
setback,
variance
for
the
building
to
be
placed
where
it
is.
She
went
through
our
alternative
compliance
process
with
the
tree.
Commission
successfully
to
deal
with
existing
utility
is
a
long
tunnel
road
where
street
trees
in
the
street
buffer
could
not
be
placed,
and
then
the
the
one,
and
so
this
is
in
place
right
now,
operational
business.
The
one
outstanding
item
from
her
level,
one
project
approval
that
hasn't
been
constructed
is
the
property
line
buffer.
E
We
have
the
requirement
for
that
Burtie
line
buffer
in
between
commercial
zoning
and
a
residential
parcel
as
a
part
of
the
alternative
compliance
with
the
tree
Commission,
they
approved
a
reduced
buffer
from
30
feet,
wide
to
15
feet
wide
and
with
the
alley
closure.
She
would
then
have
the
area
to
place
that
landscape
buffer
within.
E
However,
now
that
the
building
and
the
businesses
is
open
and
operational,
she's
expressed
difficulty
with
using
the
site,
maneuvering
tow
trucks,
she
can
explain
the
operation
of
the
site
very
well,
but
what
she'd
like
to
do
is
be
able
to
use
the
alley
so
that
tow
trucks
can
come
and
go
from
this
space
and
into
the
the
back
of
the
building
where
the
bays
are
for
those
non
operational
vehicles.
It
would
be
enlarging
that
vehicular
use
area
behind
the
building
and
then
shifting
the
location
of
the
property
line
buffer.
E
We
don't
the
you
do,
does
not
allow
you
to
place
your
property
line
buffer
for
your
commercial
use
on
a
residential
parcel.
So
she
could
not
do
that
by
right,
and
that
is
the
nature
of
this
conditional
zoning
request.
She
is
proposing
to
rezone
that
resident
residential
parcel
so
that
she
can
expand
the
commercial
use
like
it's
slightly
into
that
parcel
and
place
that
that
landscape
buffer
in
that
location,
so
that
is,
that
is
the
the
entire
nature
of
this
request.
E
The
conditions
that
were
included
in
your
staff
report
are
basically
keeping
the
site
as
it
is
under
that
level.
One
approval
moving
the
landscape
buffer
to
the
rear,
and
then
one
thing
that's
different
from
the
level
one
is
that
the
plantings
that
were
required
that
she
received
alternative
compliance
for
for
the
street
tree
and
Street
buffer.
Well,
they
can't
be
placed
up
on
Tunnel
Road.
They
would
be
placed
elsewhere
on
the
site
just
to
not
lose
that
additional
landscape
material.
E
However,
we
have
got
comprehensive
plan
policies,
vision,
statements
and
many
adapted
plans
about
the
need
to
preserve
and
maintain
residential
uses,
residential
lots
parcels
for
residential
development,
so
because
this
lot
to
the
rear,
because
it
is
a
vacant
residential,
his
own
parcel
staff
is
unable
to
support
this.
This
request,
the
applicant
held
her
neighborhood
meeting
with
I've
spoken
with
number
members
of
the
neighborhood.
No
one
was
opposed
to
it.
E
They
just
had
questions
and
expressed
just
the
frustration
about
the
the
congestion
of
Tunnel
Road,
as
is
not
for
this
project
was
approved
with
conditions
by
the
TRC
in
December,
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
reviewed
this
request
at
their
meeting
in
January,
and
so
typically,
you
get
a
recommendation
from
from
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission.
There
wasn't
really
a
recommendation
they
voted.
E
There
was
a
motion
made
to
support
this
request,
feeling
that
the
applicant
was
just
trying
to
close
out
a
development
process
that
the
buffer
on
that
residential,
previously
residential
lot
would
be
an
adequate
buffer,
and
that
motion
essentially
failed.
It
was
two
to
two,
so
a
second
motion
was
made
to
not
support
the
request
because
of
the
city's
plan
policies
to
retain
residential
lots
for
residential
uses,
and
that
was
again
two
to
two.
So
that's
sort
of
a
stalemate.
E
A
D
E
D
Guess
the
difference
is
it's
on
a
small
residential
street
as
opposed
to
a
street
like
Tunnel
Road,
so
I
don't
know
if
there's
an
even
if
there
are
any
options
around
making
that
smaller
I
mean
it
doesn't
seem
like
they're
three
bays
it
doesn't
seem
like
you're
gonna
have
a
bunch
of
tow
trucks
coming
in
and
out
of
there
24/7
365.
So
that's
that
was
my
language.
F
B
I
E
Whenever
we
receive
requests
from
any
sort
of
commercial
uses
that
are
along
a
corridor,
that's
that's
backed
up
by
a
single-family
neighborhood.
We
refer
to
can't
comp
plan
policies
that
talk
about
holding,
that
line
and
and
not
letting
the
commercial
uses
kind
of
encroach
into
the
the
neighborhood.
So
that's
that's
our
standard.
We
line
that
we
try
to
hold
as
a
department
case-by-case
basis.
Always
you
know
that
one
size
doesn't
fit
all
and
that's
why
we
have
this
process
to
kind
of
weigh
the
particulars.
Thank
you.
D
Actually,
one
more
question
sure
Jessica:
the
memo
mentions
that
there
is
an
elevation
difference
between
this
residential
lot
and
I.
Guess
the
one
next
to
it
going
I
guess
up
the
hill.
What
is
deep
is
that
five
feet
is
a
10
feet
is
20
feet.
What
is
the?
How
much
of
a
separation
is
what
I'm
trying
you.
E
V
V
V
Right
there
it
was
an
old
old
carwash,
and
so
that's
what
we
did
I'm
the
handout
that
I
just
gave
you
guys.
The
first
ladder
was
way
back
in
2016
when
I
noticed
that,
after
all,
the
problems
have
not
been
able
to
put
the
foot
the
building
up
in
the
front
like
we
wanted,
we
were
going
to
lose
the
back
space
that
we
needed
to
come
in
and
out.
You
know
to
the
shop
so
so
what
happened
is
that
we
went
through
all
the
process.
V
That
Jessica
just
explained
and
bottom
line
is
that
we're
left
with
just
15
feet
behind
the
alley.
Then
my
residential
lot
starts
right
right
away,
so
the
ordinance
says
for
30
feet
between
between
the
residential
and
the
commercial
property.
Well,
we
we
were,
we
were
able
to
get
it
approved
to
15,
but
that
means
that
my
property
line-
you
get
another
picture
here.
V
Well,
missing:
one
could
help
there.
It
is
so
this
is
the
bitter
view
of
the
back
situation.
So
this
is
the
alley
right
here.
This
is
the
Atlas.
My
property
line
is
here,
so
that
means
that
these
trees
need
to
be
planted
right
outside
the
door
here
right
right
there,
so
going
through
the
process.
Of
course,
we
went
through
a
variance
because
we
had
a
little
setback
on
the
side
and-
and
there
was
a
few
of
the
first
few
comments,
I
think
they're
very
interesting,
because
this
is
just
a
unique
piece
of
land.
Really
it's!
V
So
if
I
can
read
about
the
reviews
that
they
did
it's
in
your
it's.
The
second
page
on
your
the
first
page
is
actually
a
letter
from
my
neighbor
that
he
is
in
favor
and
you
got
signatures
of
other
people
around
that
they
favor
the
fact
of
doing
this
project,
because
it's
going
to
enhance
the
lot,
because
you
know
with
a
lot
of
trees
and
bushes.
So
so
that's
the
first
page.
The
second
page
is
that
letter
from
it
was
this
letter
was
prepared
by
the
Zoning
Administrator
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
V
That
back
in
February
416
at
that
time,
I
was
requesting
a
side
street
setback
variance
in
order
to
construct
the
new
building.
So
the
three
first
reviews
on
that
letter
is
the
current
property,
is
smaller
in
size
to
the
surrounding
commercial
properties
and
to
other
similarly
zoned
properties.
The
property
is
surrounded
by
strip
by
streets
on
on
three
sides,
which
requires
greater
setbacks
than
traditional
Lots
located
on
a
corner
and
last
one.
The
property
has
underground
utilities
with
easements.
C
A
I
V
I
S
V
Yeah,
the
residential
goes
to
the
to
the
driveway
of
the
neighbor
up
here:
okay
right
there,
but
the
the
thing
is
that
I've
been
approved
for
15
feet,
but
with
with
the
with
the
conditional
zoning,
I
can
go
for
the
30
which
is
in
the
or
which
is
what
I'm
trying
to
do
is
comply
with
the
with
the
the
current
ordinance
that
requires
a
30
feet.
Setback
and
and
the
trees
are
planted
actually
at
35
feet
from
from
the
property
line.
V
V
V
So
the
idea
is
to
come
in
around
this
cone
here
till
about
the
third
bay
here
so
which
basically
we're
getting
15
feet
from
the
alley
and
another
15
feet
from
the
alley
into
here,
which
will
bring
us
below
these
this
this
line
of
little
bushes
back
here.
If
we
got
the
trees
and
then
we
got
the
bushes
and
then
probably
another
5
feet
and
then
we'll
we
would
come
in
at
least
to
get
enough
space.
V
H
V
A
W
Mayor
councilmembers,
my
name
is
Karl
Kuhn
I'm
here
to
comment
for
two
reasons:
first,
as
a
member
of
Asheville
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
I
was
out
of
town
in
the
meeting
of
which
this
project
was
heard,
had
I
been
there.
I
would
have
voted
in
favor
and
it
would
have
come
with
a
positive
recommendation
to
Council
second
I'm,
an
adjacent
property
owner
and
grew
up
in
the
Oh
teen
area,
so
I'm
well
familiar
with
with
this
property
and
what
was
higher
on
the
parcel.
W
If
we
look
at
the
motion
that
staff
has
provided
you
for
denial,
one
of
the
comments
is
that
the
proposal
results
in
a
loss
for
the
vacant
residential
parcel
I.
Think
the
operative
word.
There
is
vacant,
it
is
not
removing
any
housing
stock,
but
is
a
it.
Is
a
vacant
parcel?
Second,
it
says
it
allows
commercial
use
to
encroach
into
a
residential
neighborhood.
The
parcels
to
both
the
east
and
the
west
are
commercial
properties
and
may
extend
back
further
than
what
this
current
parcel
does.
W
Third,
it
says
the
proposal
is:
does
not
comply
with
the
city
standards
on
driveway
separation,
sidewalks
and
landscaping.
That's
really
a
non-issue
here
and
that
has
already
been
addressed
through
the
word
of
adjustment
actions.
If
you
look
at
the
motion
to
approve
it
says
that
it
makes
use
of
an
existing
commercial
partial
with
upgrades
to
site
landscaping.
This
is
a
vast
improvement
over
the
dilapidated
car
wash
that
used
to
exist
on
the
property,
and
this
is
a
small
local
business.
W
Second,
the
landscape
buffer
will
provide
an
effective
screen
between
the
use
and
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
this
increased
buffer
of
30
feet
over
this
incline.
I
think
there's
about
a
12
foot.
Elevation
difference
would
be
far
superior
to
just
may
a
vacant
residential
lot
that
is
currently
grass,
so
I
urge
you
to
approve
this
conditional
result.
Thank
you.

Hello
members
of
council,
my
name
is
John
Cort
I've
been
a
rest
of
the
city
of
Asheville
for
70
years,
I've
been
a
licensed
architect
for
45
years
and
I
served
on
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Board
for
10
years,
and
thank
you,
sir,
for
your
students.
I
would
say
that
this
plan
is
100%
in
compliance
with
the
long-range
plan
and
it
was
called
the
2010
plan.
X
If
you
look
at
the
last
page
on
your
handout,
you
will
see
that
the
2010
plan
envisioned
the
area
at
graceful,
Road
and
us
70,
as
used
number
4,
which
is
commercial
use.
When
the
2010
plan
was
developed,
the
city
was
suffering
from
sprawl
in
every
direction.
They
adopted
a
very
common-sense
plan
to
allow
and
encourage
development,
commercial
development,
where
you
have
major
intersections,
let
it
grow
at
these.
They
call
them
nodes,
let
commercial
grow
at
the
nodes
and
restrict
them
along
the
thoroughfares.
X
Well,
if
you
look
graceful
road
is
officially
designated
as
a
major
thoroughfare
goes
on,
outlaw
Boston
College.
The
u.s.
70
is
a
major
thoroughfare.
What's
right
across
the
street
from
these
intersection
major
thoroughfares
Alfano
service,
the
everybody
needs
a
neighborhood
automobile
service
station
and
that's
what
this
is.
Nothing
larger
could
be
built
on
the
property.
It's
a
neighborhood
asset.
X
If
you
look
at
your
plan,
you'll
see
that,
since
the
2010
plan
occurred,
we
had
Rite
Aid
have
a
major
development
at
one
side
of
the
intersection.
If
you
look
at
the
other
side
of
the
intersection,
the
VA
Medical
Center
had
a
major
expansion.
The
other
side
Ingalls
had
a
major
expansion.
They
had
a
fueling
center
there
and
then
next
to
it,
McDonald
has
had
a
major
expansion.
X
N
Three
everyone's
already
stole
my
thunder
anyway,
Gary
Davis
Native
civil
solution
is
where
the
siblings
general
site
just
two
issues,
I'll
bring
up.
One
is
this
argument:
they
talked
about
yes
or
question
about
the
slope
on
aside
from
the
that
right
rear,
it's
about
eight
feet,
tapers
toward
the
front,
there's
no
way
to
access
off
that
side.
Road
to
the
to
the
east.
There
is
an
existing
driveway
on
the
west,
as
you
saw
in
the
rear
there
big
issue
to
issues
on
the
location
of
the
building
is
there
is
a
20-foot,
MSD
easement
in
front.
N
Of
course
they
don't
allow
anything
any
building
on
top
of
their
easement,
so
it
push
back
as
far
as
it
could.
There
are
two
storms.
Well,
there
was
one
strong
rain
line
on
the
east
side
street
there
that
spilled
out
on
the
property
and
went
hundred
in
the
excavation
of
trying
to
lower
that
to
accommodate
footings.
We
found
another
city-owned,
strong
rain
and
a
lot
of
occasion,
and
we
weren't,
aware
of
so.
We
had
to
put
two
hundred
the
billing
and
low
limit.
N
You
know
increasing
into
the
slip
into
back
the
same
way
coming
into
the
side
street
trying
to
come
in
there's
no
way
you
can
make
that
radius
in
15
feet
trying
to
pull
it
into
the
building.
Those
are
really
the
only
issues
that
have
been
addressed
or
have
been,
but
more
emphasis
on
those.
If
there's
any
technical
questions,
I
can
answer
those
if
you
need.
A
J
To
approve
the
conditional
zoning
request
for
elf
Auto
Center
for
the
property
located
at
1093,
Tunnel
Road
and
three
o
teen
Park
Place
from
highway
business
and
residential
single-family
high-density
district
to
highway
business
conditional
zone
district
and
find
that
the
request
is
reasonable,
is
in
the
public
interest
and
is
consistent
with
the
Comprehensive
Plan
and
other
adopted
plans.
In
that
the
proposal
makes
use
of
an
existing
commercial
parcel
with
upgrades
to
site
landscaping
and
the
landscape
buffer
will
provide
an
effective
screen
between
the
use
and
the
neighborhood.
Second.
B
A
Right
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
any
other
questions
comments
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
That
concludes
our
public
hearings
agenda.
Thank
you.
We
have
one
item
of
unfinished
business
and
assistant
city
manager.
Jay
Thomas
is
here
to
talk
to
us
about
the
River
Arts
District
transportation,
improvement
project,
rad
tech,
Thank.
K
You
mayor
good
evening,
mayor
members,
council,
J
Dundas
is
interim
assistant
city
manager.
Today
we
are
seeking
action
council
action
on
three
items,
all
of
them
related
to
the
river
arts,
district
transportation,
improvement
project,
Tigers
also
known
as
Tiger
six
and
just
a
little
bit
of
background
in
May
of
2017.
We
did
this
project
and.
F
K
K
Elements
among
those
were
greenways,
but
also
we
negotiated
with
the
contractor,
who
bid
the
product,
who
hoped
that
remember
the
grant
Barnhill
who
helped
to
spit
the
project,
construction
manager
at
risk,
pricing
for
the
eliminate
or
the
postponement
of
of
Lyman
Street
infrastructure,
which
included
the
reconstruction
of
Lyman
Street,
dedicated
bike
lane
along
Lyman
Street
and
a
sidewalk
on
the
land
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
river,
from
Lyman
Street.
The
negotiation
of
that
price,
that
the
postponement
of
those
projects
was
in
the
neighborhood
of
4.6
million
dollars.
K
So
so
moving
forward
through
the
budget
development
capital
budget
development,
we
were
considering
those
projects,
but
we
were
pleasantly
surprised
by
the
the
Buncombe
County
Tourism
Development
Authority,
when
they
came
to
us
and
offered
4.6
million
dollars
because
of
the
benefits
of
completing
that
infrastructure
in
that
area
to
tourism
and
the
businesses
in
that
area
as
well.
So
they
offered
that
money
graciously
and
Institute.
The
first
two
items
are
to
accept
that
money
fro
as
a
grant.
They
are
funding
partners
in
this
project
already
this.
K
This
helps
to
complete
the
product,
the
the
Lyman
street
improvements,
much
sooner
than
we
would
anticipate
last
summer
when
you're
ordered
the
contract
and
then
the
second
item
is
to
amend
the
budget
to
include
those
funds
for
the
construction
of
the
infrastructure.
Improvements
into
this
river
arched,
grad
tip
Tiger,
six
budget.
Third,
the
third
item
that
we're
seeking
authorization
for
is
to
amend
the
contract
with
Beverly
grant
Barnhill
and
in
the
amount
of
the
the
grant
award
4.6
million
dollars
to
include
to
add
back
the
infrastructure,
improvements
that
were
removed
from
the
original
contract
war.
K
K
We
would,
after
authorization
of
this,
this,
this
revision
to
contract
the
work
on
this
area
will
begin
relatively
quickly
and
and
the
one
of
the
other
benefits
out
of
benefits
of
completing
the
work
right
now
is
that
we
don't
have
to
cause
repeated
disruptions
to
the
businesses
in
that
area
and
to
traffic
we
we
did
present
to
council.
There
are
other
options
with
this
I.
We
feel
as
a
staff
recommendations.
K
A
show
that
we
feel
like
this
is
the
most
efficient
and
way
to
include
the
to
complete
the
work
and
and
the
most
least,
disruptive
to
the
business
and
traveling
community
or
a
public
in
that
area.
There
are
other
options,
though
we
could,
in
fact
we
did
this
work
through
a
separate,
just
as
as
a
separate
project
off
to
get
the
complications
associated
with
that.
The
risks
are
that
we
don't
know
price
we've
have
had
experienced
over
the
last
several
years.
Increasing
pricing
there
is
no,
we
have
4.6
million
is
guaranteed.
K
That's
what
we
can
the
cost
of
labor
materials
for
this
work.
We
don't
know
what
it
would
cost
if,
if
we
went
out
onto
the
market
again
additionally,
if
we
were
to
bid
this
as
a
separate
project,
we'd
have
two
contractors
in
the
same
area:
that's
always
complicated.
It's
it's
a
scheduling,
sometimes
a
scheduling
issue.
You
may
have
separate
work
schedules.
You
have
a
lot
of
things
happening
in
a
small
area
right
now.
K
Additionally,
we
could
have
this
the
C
bar
the
c
AR
to
rebid
this
project
under
the
under
their
current
contract,
which
is
that
they
bid
all
of
the
projects
originally
last
May.
We
could
ask
them
to
rebid
again.
The
pricing
is
the
risk
there.
We
not.
We
are
not
sure
what
we
would
give
for
pricing
and
then
that
would
essentially
eliminate
the
risk
of
scheduling,
because
they
would
be
responsible
for
that.
I
J
D
Before
I
do
that
can
I
just
make
a
comment.
I
am
many
of
you
know
that
I
am
the
council
liaison
to
the
TVA,
and
it
is
the
TDA's
grant
of
4.6
million
dollars.
That
is
enabling
us
to
even
have
this
conversation
and
and
move
forward
with
this
really
important
part
of
this
project
that
we
were
all
tremendously
disappointed
to
to
think
that
we
might
have
lost
just
a
few
months
ago.
So
I
want
to
say
a
big
hearty
thank
you
to
the
TDA
Board.
D
This
was
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
the
city
did
not
ask
the
TDA
for
this
money.
The
TDA
made
this
decision
on
their
own.
Looking
at
the
need,
they'd
have
already
invested,
already
invested
a
lot
in
the
rad
tip
and
saw
this
as
a
big
loss
for
the
project
and
decided
on
their
own
to
use
the
money
that
was
actually
almost
exactly
this
amount
that
was
in
left
over
in
the
TPDF
fund,
to
fund
this
project,
and
so
I
think
that
they
deserve
a
big.
D
Thank
you
for
that,
and
just
also
want
to
add
that
with
that
addition,
I
don't
have
quite
the
latest
numbers,
but
by
my
total
with
this
addition,
it
brings
the
investments
from
by
the
TDA
into
either
city
projects
or
city
owned
facilities
to
well
over
23
million
dollars,
which
is
close
to
it's
somewhere
between
probably
80
and
85
percent
of
the
money
that
has
been
granted
out
of
the
TPDF.
So
it's
it's
a
popular
narrative
that
this
Ashville
doesn't
benefit
from
the
occupancy
tax
that
that
we
don't
get
anything
from
that
city
residents.
D
Don't
get
anything
from
that
and
and
I
I
just
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
say
that
in
fact,
we've
gotten
about
85%
of
the
funds
that
have
come
in
it
into
the
TPDF
and
for
city-owned
facilities
or
city
projects,
and
this
is
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
the
largest
one,
but
it's
it's
certainly
pretty
spectacular.
So
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
B
So
we've
got
three
items
under
this
agenda
item
and
based
on
based
on
the
wording.
That's
in
the
staff
report
I'm
going
to
try
to
take
a
crack
at
one
and
two
and
then
make
a
separate
motion
for
three.
So
I
move
that
the
Nashville
City
Council
adopt
a
resolution
accepting
a
grant
from
the
Buncombe
County
Tourism
Development
Authority
in
the
amount
of
4.6
million
dollars
to
complete
construction
of
the
work
on
Lyman
Street
in
the
river
arts
district
and
to
a
budget
amendment
in
the
amount
of
4.6
million
dollars
to
appropriate.
This
funding.
A
B
Then
the
Bourbon
I'm,
sorry,
so
those
were
the
first
two.
This
is
the
last
one.
I
recommend
that
excuse
me
I
make
a
motion
that
Asheville
City
Council
authorized
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
contract
amendment
in
the
amount
of
4.6
million
dollars,
with
Beverly
grant
Barnhill
to
complete
construction
of
roadway
improvements,
a
protected
bike
lane
and
a
sidewalk
Lyman
Street.
A
A
J
On
the
NCDOT
has
is
looking
at
two
intersections
along
Merriman
Avenue,
WT,
Weaver
and
Edgewood
and
I
have
to
admit
that
I
voted
as
a
part
of
the
MPO
for
an
improvement
to
those
intersections,
and
that
was
that
was
the
entire
description
of
the
project.
About
a
week
ago.
Maybe
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
NCDOT
held
a
public
forum
to
explain
what
their
plans
were.
I
attended
that
with
several
members
of
City
Council
also-
and
there
was
a
large
gathering
of
the
public
who
came
out
and
I
and
I
suspect.
J
J
J
There
there's
a
large
footprint
that
the
the
plan
would
call
to
take
away
from
some
of
the
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
to
allow
for
more
more
car
action,
and
so
what
I
would
like
and
I
I
didn't
hear.
Anybody
at
that
public
forum
supporting
the
do
T's
plan.
So
I
would
ask
that
we,
we
asked
city
staff
to
work
closely
with
VOT
to
get
this
project
consistent
with
all
those
various
plans
to
open
the
whole
process
back
up
to
include
more
input
from
from
residents
and
people
who
live
here
in
Asheville.
J
Again,
it's
not
a
good
plan,
but
even
more
importantly,
to
really
ask
DoD
to
change
their
policies
and
procedures
so
that
nothing
happens
in
Asheville
like
this,
where
we,
where
do
T,
imposes
a
plan
that,
without
any
input
from
our
citizens
or
our
city
staff,
that
I
would
ask
that
they
just
need
to
really
go
back
and
back
up
and
change
their
policies
and
procedures
around
this
and
really
express
our
disappointment.
I
mean
I
had
felt
like
we
were
making
good
progress
with
the
OT
around
the
I-26
process.
J
I
felt
like
they
really
had
opened
up
their
opened
up
their
minds
to
listen
to
our
ideas
and
trying
to
be
consistent
with
our
plans
and
this
what
their,
what
what
it
looks
like
they're
doing
on
Merriman
Avenue,
just
feels
to
me,
like
we
lost
a
lot
of
ground
and
I'm,
really
disappointed
and
I.
Think
other
members
of
City
Council
are
too
so
I
guess
I
would
ask
that
the
staff
draft
a
resolution
to
something
along
those
lines
that
we
communicate
this
formally
to
NCDOT,
and
then
we
we
make
a
plan
on
Merriman
Avenue.
J
D
I
took
a
look
at
the
the
stip,
the
approved
step
today,
and
there
are
19
projects
in
the
city
of
Asheville
road
projects,
urban
road
projects
that
should
not
begin
to
be
worked
on
without
city
staff,
and
perhaps
even
some
of
our
volunteer
citizen
leaders
on
the
multimodal
transportation
commission
and
send
some
of
our
transportation
advocates
in
town
at
the
table,
working
with
DI
T
on
these
designs.
These
are
our
streets.
I
realize
do
team
a
technically
manage
them,
but
we
are.
A
A
I
didn't
realize
it
was
had
risen
to
the
top
of
the
list
and
I
certainly
wasn't
aware,
like
everybody
else,
that
anyone
who
was
drafting
a
plan
and
for
it
so
I
think
you
know
it's
obviously
going
to
be
more
effective
and
work
better
for
d-o-t
to
engage
the
community
on
the
front
end
and
work
with
the
community
coming
up
with
a
draft
plan.
Instead
of
doing
it.
This
way,
which
just
seems
to
involve
a
lot
of
work
and
then
a
complete
reset.
So
so,
hopefully
we
can
get
this
right
going
forward.
A
We
have
heard
from
a
lot
of
from
a
lot
of
folks
that
have
emailed
us
about
this
and
are
very
eager
to
give
their
input
number
one.
I
would
say
to
those
folks,
please
email
us
that
is
fine,
but
also
make
sure
you
either
copy
or
also
send
a
copy
of
your
comments
to
the
d-o-t,
because
they
will
receive
the
comments.
I've
tried
to
direct
people
where
to
where
to
do
that,
but
it's
a
little
bit
confusing
and
then
what
well
I
know
that
we
have
a
comment
deadline
for
the
d-o-t.
A
C
C
C
C
Commentary
so
we're
proceeding
to
supply
all
those
comments
on
that
due
date
and
we
go
with
multimodal
transportation
Commission
tomorrow
to
share
it
with
them
and
to
get
their
input.
With
our
comments
now,
I've
confirmed
with
the
d-o-t,
though,
that
if
City
Council
chooses
to
consider
a
resolution
at
a
later
date
and
they
pass
that
resolution,
they
will
accept
it.
They
comforted
that
deadline
for
genuine
artists.
D
I'll
also
just
say
that
I
had
a
conversation
with
Billy
Clark
who's.
Our
part,
this
region's
representative
on
the
Department
of
Transportation
board
that
we
were
gonna
have
this
conversation
tonight.
So
we're
not
we're
not
blindsiding
do
tea
with
with
our
concerns
or
with
the
concerns
of
the
community.
I
think
they're
well,
aware
of
them,
and
we've
done
our
due
diligence
to
let
to
let
our
board
member
know
and-
and
he
was
communicating
that
back
to
local,
do
tea
staff.
A
A
A
A
O
The
the
I
wanted
to
share
an
opinion
in
regards
to
the
subject
that
has
been
bouncing
around
for
a
while
short-term
rentals
and
my
opinion
is.
There
can
be
a
win-win
on
both
sides,
but
I
really
want
to
share
the
opinion
that
I
wish,
and
it
may
be
just
my
ignorance.
So
it's
this
could
turn
into
a
question
in
regards
to
the
details
about
the
lowest.
Let
me
share
the
story.
I'm
sorry.
O
This
is
not
clear,
but
I
realize
that
three
minutes
I
lived
on
Morningside
Drive
and
my
mother
owns
the
house
and
I'm
lucky
to
live
there.
A
couple
months
ago,
my
friend
called
me
up
and
said:
hey
I'm,
not
able
to
stay
where
I'm
living
right
now
and
I
really
need
a
place
to
crash
for
one
or
two
weeks
can
I
come
crash
at
your
house
and
I
told
her
yeah.
That
sounds
good
and
maybe
you'd
consider
between
the
between
your
time
here
a
hundred
dollars
a
week
either
cash
or
work
trade.
O
For
the
time
that
you
have
crashed
for
one
to
two
weeks
and
that
worked
out
between
the
two
of
us,
then
I
come
to
find
out
that
that's
illegal
and
if
there
was
ever
any
problem
and
the
city
got
involved,
I
could
be
charged
$500
per
night
for
a
short-term
rental
in
my
mother's
house.
To
have
a
friend
stay
over
and
potentially
help
clean.
My
house
for
one
or
two
weeks,
I
just
felt
that
triggered
me
to
come
and
share
the
you
know.
I
I
understand
that.
H
O
Places
short-term
rentals
are
inappropriate,
but
I,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
my
story.
That
I
just
told
you,
because
it's
such
a
you
know
I
know,
there's
a
homestay
permit
that
I
could
get
that
would
cost
$200
I
believe.
But
the
issue
is
for
my
friend
to
stay
for
one
week.
You
know
she
probably
would
have
cleaned
my
house
a
little
bit
not
made
me
anything
and
I
just
wanted
to
reaffirm
that.
O
A
Y
City,
council
and
city
manager,
it's
kind
of
funny,
that's
not
when
I
committed
here
or
there's
one
part
about
this
rat.
You
know
they're
talking
about
all
this
extra
money
that
it's
costing
us
because
contractors
don't
want
to
work
in
the
city
and
then
the
second
thing
is
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation
comes
on.
It
says
they
don't
want
to
work
with
this
city
they're
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
plan
themselves
that
wasn't
a
part
of
my
presentation
but
I'm
just
saying
that
that
was
kind
of
odd
tonight.
Y
Afterwards,
they
made
a
statement
about
my
actions
during
the
meeting
after
I
learned
of
this
statement,
I
produced
hard
evidence
that
clearly
proved
the
untruthfulness
of
their
statement.
In
fact
that
the
city
manager
agreed
with
me
and
removed
that
statement
at
the
last
City
Council
meeting
I
informed
you
of
a
lack
of
impartiality
by
one
of
the
city
staff,
one
of
the
then
supervisors,
you
see
this
lack
of
impartiality,
I
spoke
of
was
not
the
first
time.
Shannon
tuck
tried
to
use
her
power
and
arrogance
to
inflict
pain
and
intimidation
against
me.
Y
Y
Continues
to
propagate
this
hateful
culture
of
prejudice,
arrogance
and
parochialism
that
is
directed
towards
other
staff
of
the
voting
public
tax
payers
and
contractors
I
seen
this
today
and
I
was
just
amazed
at
it.
I
read
this
performance
audit
report,
payroll
benefits,
April
18
2017.
That
was
less
than
a
year
ago.
Y
It
says
this,
it
says,
and
I
quote:
we
noted
that
there
appears
to
be
a
large
amount
of
overtime
and
compensate
time
earned
in
the
city.
In
addition
to
the
high
amount
citywide,
a
discipline,
disproportionately
high
amount
of
overtime
and
compensatory
time
is
earned
by
a
small
group
of
employees
and
departments
within
the
city
that
speaks
large.
