Home My WebLink AboutMinutes PC 09-20-22 Josh: It's interesting to hear public input that they want what was already permitted,which is more density and commercial.What is originally proposed here, should be placed there. I want to make sure we are getting the highest and best use of this land. Carrie: James Dean street will definitely be used as a cut through.It's different than Community Drive, since James Dean is compact with houses,and that is dangerous for people living on this street. Brad: Can the Petitioner research the James Dean street?What can the City do add stop signs and other traffic calming devices?Jon Dobosiewicz: Regardless,James Dean will be developed as a dedicated city street.Driveways will not have access to James Dean and public sidewalks will be required. Alan: Is the CC the governing body that will vote on this? Alexia Lopez: Correct. Jeff: Please explore options with Engineering Dept. on speed-controlled devices on how to make these streets safer? Traffic study is needed. Explain why this amendment is needed?Why is this amendment better for the City?For the Developer?Why should this PC be interested in this proposal and change it?Jon Dobosiewicz: We will have a trip generation analysis,and we will seek the City Engineering Dept. on their thoughts. Jon Dobosiewicz: We will have a second neighborhood meeting on Oct. 19 or 20th.and we will notice all residents within the Legacy.

Public Comments: Jessica Sherman,E. 146th Street: I don't have a major opposition to this project but I have concerns if this will take over the existing dog park in Clay Terrace. There's a huge need for free dog parks in this area. Can we get a temporary location for this?This is a huge asset to the community. James Cheadow,Walter's Plaza: The traffic problem will only worsen with the additional of this hotel. There will also be apartment complexes going up. The drive lanes on Clay Terrace Blvd will be reducing the north and south drive lanes and adding bike lanes.My neighborhood had safety issues when Clay Terrace was developed. Rebuttal to Public Comments: Steven Hardin: • This hotel will be constructed at the existing location of the dog park. The dog park will be relocated within Clay Terrace • Traffic analysis and street improvements were discussed when the Clay Terrace PUD Ordinance Amendment was reviewed 2 years ago. We can discuss this again at the Committee level. Department Report: Rachel Keesling • This is the first project that is coming before us since they amended the Clay Terrace PUD • We have asked the Petitioner to provide us with the type of exterior lighting that will be used • Rooftop lighting is prohibited in the PUD,so we need to review the lighting details of the rooftop restaurant • We need to know how the rooftop mechanical units will be screened 6 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes 9-20-22 • Sidewalks and connections around the building will be provided • The proposed signage meets the requirements of the PUD • Staff recommends this is continued to the Oct. 6 Commercial Committee for further review ICommittee Comments: Jeff: Is there a plan on the timing of the relocation of the dog park and greenspace?Provide us sight views from the east. Will the existing walking path be reconstructed?Are there any ways to spruce up the NW facing side of the building? Brad: Is there a possibility of valet parking for the rooftop restaurant?It would be great if we design and plan ahead for this. Steve Hardin: Yes,valet parking will be provided. Brad: The City's lighting standards are pretty current,but lighting designs,product,and technique are still more up to date than our lighting standards.Any unique lighting features that wouldn't over commercialized this project would have my support. Dubbie: Can the entrance design be relooked at?Is there a possibility to add another access point? Josh: The State is not interested in adding more access points along US 31.Alan: Are you referring to the entrance to this hotel project or the entire Clay Terrace development?Dubbie: An entrance to the US 31 and entrance to this hotel. Josh: I'm concerned we are overstepping our reach. This is up to the Engineering and Fire Department. Kevin: When this was originally built, it was the main drag to carry traffic north and south.Now with the upgrades to US 31, it doesn't have to be that.

I ask for a tree line along the townhomes.I ask this type of development is not allowed to go south of Supply Street.With valet parking,we ask they don't use the parking lot at the Lions Club and to have this area designated as permit parking only for the residents. IJanet Raymond, S. Rangeline Road: We are not opposed to this development,but we ask for them to be mindful to the long-term residents in this area.
