E

B

Shallow and snow falls, yeah isn't just the same one or just across the street across the street.

E

East and west on the.

B

D

The on the east side of snowfall, southeast.

B

You're right next to the shore plant, no, on the opposite side,.

A

B

D

um I would like to negotiate with a couple of comments with planning uh comment. Number four number.

A

D

um We are gonna um speak with the traffic department. This plat actually already got submitted to one stop shop. This past tuesday know we need to wait, but because it was, uh it was postponed this meeting. uh In this case it came the other way around, um but we do have when you have a major arterial and a local street. The distance from the intersection to put a driveway is a hundred feet.

D

Minimum we're right at 108, but what we'd like to do is um get with the neighbor to have a shared access on our common east boundary line, if not a little bit further, so this note would actually hinder us from having a uh a shared access um and that's basically what I would like you know for us to consider to go to one: stop shop speak with traffic.

D

If traffic agrees um you know, allow us at least to put that on the plat now the shared axis would still require a note on the plaque um for shared access where, wherever it may be, I will say this: it has to be pushed the current at least.

A

E

D

E

D

On the screen, um there's can, if you can see the you, can show the picture.

A

I'm sorry the area. No, there was another one: okay, yeah.

D

So um there's two poles there, so we have to push it as furthest east as possible. Yeah. um Now that that puts us at that 110 range, which goes beyond the parameters of the ordinance that is cited in common four um common four is actually good. Limitations regarding axis should be placed on the plat. Whichever way we go, whether we put one on shiloh or not, but the number five placing the note prohibiting access from shiloh. It kind of limits us from actually uh creating a deal with with the neighbor.

A

Negotiating or negotiating.

D

Where is this land.

C

Import in proximity to the former cemetery that was there so.

D

We did um we it's just west of it. We did have a report by a um off the top of my head. I can't exactly I don't know the exact name I did submit it. I believe I submitted it with the preliminary.

D

um The representative from the client is here that he's the one that negotiated that that agreement, we did have a um a a report that actually provided ground sonar um in the area to make sure that there aren't any tombs within our boundary.

D

I believe the nearest tomb was more than 20 feet from our boundary, so we do have a report that we can submit it's going to be submitted to one stop shop as well to the proper departments just so that city can have a record of it and that we're away from that cemetery. Let.

B

Me ask you this on your development, because that's right at the cul-de-sac, more or less that's up there, where that cemetery is, uh is your building. I I take it at whatever commercial site's going to be developed there.

B

The building obviously will be set back as far as possible, and your parking will be in the front because of the shared access. Is that correct, correct.

D

B

Likely, yes, that will respect the 20 feet that that cemetery has there, and I know it is registered because when we dealt with that, I dealt with that issue when shiloh- and you were there too. So we.

D

We're familiar with the ghosts: I've looked at this property, so many people have come and looked at it. I've known that there's been a a cemetery there. That's hence why they did the report yeah um yeah, so it and the report it was taken to the historical commission as well. Okay,.

B

So you're, so, if we can, let me ask you what you're asking for right now for this commission to do is to is it delineate? I mean delineate, delete.

D

Number five yes delete, number five, but so that everybody can get a warm and fuzzy feeling number four um has us putting limitations for access on the plat, so whether traffic says no access, then we would have to put a limitation as far as no access off a shiloh if they allow for a shared access. We still would put a note delineating where the shared access is, and we actually have to put an easement on there for that shared access, so either way yeah.

D

It's just that note. 5 won't allow us to do that if it gets approved like this. So yes, we would like to eliminate no notification. So note 5 is yeah. If planning is okay with that yeah we're. Okay. With with note 5 I'd like to keep.

B

Four, but five: that's fine! Well, four is going to stay yeah.

B

I mean I can see what you're talking about it's common sense really, because.

A

It says limitations regarding the access if they have that the the company.

B

And you don't really want you, don't really want any axes on on. I mean if you try to put axes coming off of the. uh What is it snowfall? Is that that subdivision there and the other subdivision behind that most of it is coming out like more than 50 percent.

D

Of that traffic is coming out through there, I I did bring a map I don't want to so this is this intersection is where shiloh actually widens yes, so it's wider on our side on the east side of snowfalls, so it kind of acts like a auxiliary lane to go in if and when we do put an axis, um so it doesn't impede the free flow of traffic along shadow. Okay, yeah, if I made sure real, quick.

C

uh Do you have any idea rick what is going to be.

D

Built there I do not, I know the one of the representatives from the owner is here. I don't know if he wants to come and speak other than other than knowing the commercial, but I think he knows more about specifics.

C

Anything from the record the proposed use at this time is looking a combination of a laundromat and a tailor shop. So there's.

A

Something to serve.

C

Good the adjoining residence- and the reason I ask is because it might not be so bad getting access from snowfall.

B

I agree, like I mean the way the intersection's set up like rick says: yeah, it's not a bad issue and then you've got the additional street that was built used to that right. That also provides parallel relief. That way so, okay, it's not that big a deal yeah. Okay, any other questions for the engineer I'm going to approve. I have a motion to approve. Second point.

A

Deleting something.

B

Subject to deleting five okay, so we have a motion by commissioner and the secretary by daniela.

B

All those in favor signify, nigh hi, hi rosie gaines motion carries the next step is preliminary consideration of the following flats and final replats, the final consideration of the planet of milo subdivision phase ii, the antennas industrial.

B

Okay, now can we have a motion for approval of item 7a7b7c d, e, f, g and h motion from commissioner dominguez in a second from.

A

B

All those in favor of the motion signified by saying aye, aye, aye aye.

A

B

Gaines motion carries the next diet on this reconsideration of the following final flats and final reedplats. Again, we have the final reconsideration of the plot of two acres. Well, this is a final also right. Yes, it's just in compliance.

B

Okay, eight and nine are just compliance. uh Administrative action is all we need. So can we have a motion to take item eight and item? Nine together makes a motion daniella seconds, that motion all those in favor signify by saying hi all right motion carries. The next item is: can we have a motion for approval.

B

Is making a motion to approve item eight and nine, and the second is by dominguez all those in favor of the motion signify by saying aye, aye aye, those against the motion carries all right is uh mr ramos, the engineer here I don't see.

A

B

In that case, I guess.

A

The item stays.

C

Tabled, we were just told that he had sent an email in saying that he approved the comments, um but he couldn't make it. I think that's what I mean.

B

B

This is item b, number 6b, 6b.

B

C

B

Arizona creek right right at the corner of the sewer plant. Yes right, yeah, but isn't there a creek? There is a farmer.

C

A creek, no, I don't know.

A

That's another zone.

B

C

A there's that channel on the on the right side that concrete, there's that channel! That's that's just a.

B

B

Let me tell you one thing: I do want you to instruct this engineer and I want every engineer to listen to this. If you're not here for your item, we probably will table the item a lot of times. Questions come up from the commission here and if you're not going to be here to answer the commission, then we're not going to go ahead and you know move forward.

C

It's not going to be commercially so right now it's r1, but yes, they'll come back with a own change to a b1. I hope nothing ever happens to the wall of the sewer plant, because the minute the wall goes down. You smell everything.

B

I went through it with the residents on the other side, they put color on it. Okay, all right, I need a motion for approval.

B

All right, thank you. This meeting is adjourned unless anybody else has anything that was that they wish to address with the commission motion to adjourn and in a second and all those in favor saying I have to say nice.
