WEBVTT

00:00:01.218 --> 00:00:11.150
- So it's now 530. I'd like to call the Monroe County Plan Commission meeting of February 17th,

00:00:11.150 --> 00:00:22.032
- 2026 to order. And go ahead and start with Director Jelen and the roll call, please. Sure. David Bush?

00:00:22.032 --> 00:00:29.534
- Here. Margaret Clements? Here. Tron Enri-Randolph? Scott Ferris? Here.

00:00:29.986 --> 00:00:41.861
- Rudy fields here. David Henry. Jeff Morris here. Julie Thomas. Joe Van Deventer. And Stephen Bishop

00:00:41.861 --> 00:00:53.973
- here. OK, so we have. Five voting members in person and one non voting member in person and a quorum.

00:00:53.973 --> 00:00:59.198
- OK, next up is introduction of evidence and

00:01:00.546 --> 00:01:06.541
- Go ahead and introduce, please. I'd like to introduce the following items into the evidence. The Monroe

00:01:06.541 --> 00:01:12.536
- County Development Ordinance as adopted and amended. The Monroe County Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision

00:01:12.536 --> 00:01:18.473
- Control Ordinance as adopted and amended. The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan as adopted and amended.

00:01:18.473 --> 00:01:24.352
- The Monroe County Plan Commission Rules and Procedure as adopted and amended. And the cases that were

00:01:24.352 --> 00:01:29.598
- legally advertised and scheduled for a hearing on tonight's agenda. Move approval. Second.

00:01:30.210 --> 00:01:38.017
- It's been moved and seconded to approve the introduction of evidence. A vote yes is a vote to approve.

00:01:38.017 --> 00:01:45.748
- Margaret Clements? Yes. Scott Ferris? Yes. Rudy Fields? Yes. Jeff Morse? Yes. David Bush? Yes. Motion

00:01:45.748 --> 00:01:52.190
- carries five to zero. I'd like to move approval of the agenda as advertised. Second.

00:01:54.242 --> 00:02:02.088
- It's been moved and seconded to approve the agenda as advertised with no changes. A vote yes is a vote

00:02:02.088 --> 00:02:09.706
- to approve. Scott Farris. Yes. Rudy Fields. Yes. Jeff Morris. Yes. David Bush. Yes. Mario Clements.

00:02:09.706 --> 00:02:17.704
- Yes. Motion carries five to zero. If nobody has any objections, I'd like to move approval of the minutes

00:02:17.704 --> 00:02:22.046
- from December 18th, 2025 and January 20th, 2026. Second.

00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:31.370
- It's been moved and seconded to approve both sets of minutes, December 18th, 2025 and January 20th,

00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:38.934
- 2026. A vote yes is a vote to approve both sets of minutes. Rudy Fields? Yes. Jeff Morris? Yes.

00:02:38.934 --> 00:02:46.814
- David Bush? Yes. Mark Clements? Yes. Scott Ferris? Yes. Motion is approved five to zero. That takes

00:02:46.814 --> 00:02:53.118
- us to administrative business. Do you have an update on the CDO prioritization?

00:02:54.466 --> 00:03:03.539
- Yes, I did want to update the group that we were able to pass two text amendments by the county commissioners

00:03:03.539 --> 00:03:11.869
- on Thursday, February 12th. One of those items was the sliding scale option. And then the other item

00:03:11.869 --> 00:03:19.870
- was related to some staff edits, including allowing an allowance for eco development if there is

00:03:19.970 --> 00:03:27.769
- proposal on flat ground and it's for accessory structures. So we were able to pass both of those on

00:03:27.769 --> 00:03:35.647
- February 12th. So we move on to unfinished business and appears there is none. So let's go ahead and

00:03:35.647 --> 00:03:43.914
- move into new business. For new business, we're going to have three petitions. One is 3521st South Rogers

00:03:43.914 --> 00:03:49.374
- Street rezoned from a PUD to residential. The second one is Highlines

00:03:49.506 --> 00:03:57.785
- Highlands PUD Outline Plan Amendment to Partial E. The third one is the Point PUD Outline Plan for the

00:03:57.785 --> 00:04:06.144
- Eagle Bay garages and all three, if I'm correct, are requesting a waiver of the final hearings. So over

00:04:06.144 --> 00:04:14.423
- to you, Drew. Thank you. So this is REZ-25-7. It's the 3521 South Roger Street Rezone from PUD to RES.

00:04:14.423 --> 00:04:15.870
- It is one parcel.

00:04:16.130 --> 00:04:23.300
- that measures 1.01 acres in section 17 of Perry Township, and it is at 3521 South Rogers Street.

00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:30.766
- All right. So this petition requests to rezone the 1.01 acres of this property from PUD Summersby to

00:04:30.766 --> 00:04:38.157
- Residential 1 or RES. The goal of the rezone is to establish an appropriate zoning district for the

00:04:38.157 --> 00:04:42.814
- subject property in response to correcting a zoning map error.

00:04:43.490 --> 00:04:49.147
- According to the current zoning map, the property is zoned PUD Summersbee. Citing the Summersbee PUD

00:04:49.147 --> 00:04:55.196
- ordinance and subsequent subdivision plat indicates that the subject property is not part of the Summersbee

00:04:55.196 --> 00:05:00.965
- PUD or the Summersbee subdivision. This was recognized by staff when the property owner came in to ask

00:05:00.965 --> 00:05:06.846
- questions about developing the property. And when we pulled up the property on the screen in the office,

00:05:06.978 --> 00:05:14.612
- we recognize that it looked a little funny that it was zoned PUD when it was not part of the Summersbee

00:05:14.612 --> 00:05:22.393
- subdivision. So then we went into details and research to figure out how that happened. So this property,

00:05:22.393 --> 00:05:29.587
- as I stated, is 1.01 acres. It is approximately 500 feet from Bachelor Middle School. Its zoning,

00:05:29.587 --> 00:05:36.414
- as I said, is PUD. The surrounding zoning districts are High Development Residential, or HD,

00:05:37.250 --> 00:05:43.675
- And it is also adjacent to a former railroad property, which is the Bloomington Rail Trail. And then

00:05:43.675 --> 00:05:50.482
- further east to that is the city of Bloomington jurisdiction. You will see in the packet there are several

00:05:50.482 --> 00:05:57.035
- exhibits, including the Summersbee subdivision plot, as well as the original ordinance from 1992, both

00:05:57.035 --> 00:06:04.414
- of which indicate that this property should not have been zoned PUD. And we are unsure why that happened, but it is

00:06:04.514 --> 00:06:11.383
- before you this evening so that we can correct it and get it appropriately zoned to the right zoning

00:06:11.383 --> 00:06:18.252
- district. Property does have sewer that services it. There's actually a sewer line that cuts through

00:06:18.252 --> 00:06:25.733
- the property. Interestingly enough, the property owner came into the office wanting to expand the residential

00:06:25.733 --> 00:06:33.214
- use of the property, including originally in their first iterations of plans for the property were to develop

00:06:33.378 --> 00:06:40.393
- additional duplexes or paired patio homes on the property and the extension of city sewer services were

00:06:40.393 --> 00:06:47.206
- denied by the City of Bloomington utilities. So the property owner kind of was halted by that aspect

00:06:47.206 --> 00:06:54.221
- even though there are services on the property currently being serviced. And it is the property is also

00:06:54.221 --> 00:07:00.967
- located in the Clear Creek Critical Watershed and the comprehensive plan has it designated as mixed

00:07:00.967 --> 00:07:02.046
- residential. So

00:07:02.338 --> 00:07:10.945
- No matter how the zoning changes on the property, further development of the site that increases residential

00:07:10.945 --> 00:07:18.842
- density would first need sewer extension services. So staff is understanding that anything that the

00:07:18.842 --> 00:07:26.817
- property owners wanting to do on the property will first need that extension from CBU. That's not to

00:07:26.817 --> 00:07:29.502
- say that the residential district

00:07:29.634 --> 00:07:35.621
- offers multiple different residential style uses, and we'll get into that. On the screen now, we have

00:07:35.621 --> 00:07:41.666
- the location map. This darker green area to the east is the city of Bloomington jurisdiction. And then

00:07:41.666 --> 00:07:47.536
- you can see on the zoning map here, everything that's colored is the county's jurisdiction, and the

00:07:47.536 --> 00:07:53.464
- non-colored areas is the city of Bloomington. You can see that the gray area is PUD, and the subject

00:07:53.464 --> 00:07:55.166
- property is outlined in red.

00:07:57.218 --> 00:08:02.368
- Now on the screen, we have the site conditions map. You can see the sewer service line in green cut

00:08:02.368 --> 00:08:07.929
- through the property. And there is an existing two-family dwelling on the property that uses those services

00:08:07.929 --> 00:08:13.079
- currently. It is all under 25% slope, so there's no concerns for slope here. And as I said, you can

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.435
- see the Bloomington Rail Trail immediately to the east. There is a driveway that comes off the property

00:08:18.435 --> 00:08:20.958
- that is accessed right from South Rogers Street.

00:08:25.634 --> 00:08:31.861
- Now on the screen is a slide that talks about House Bill 1058. This is something that's ongoing and

00:08:31.861 --> 00:08:38.711
- has not been fully decided at the state level. However, it is a pertinent piece of information to incorporate

00:08:38.711 --> 00:08:44.938
- into this presentation because it could allow the property owner to voluntarily annex into the City

00:08:44.938 --> 00:08:49.982
- of Bloomington's jurisdiction. The House Bill 1058's digest reads providing that

00:08:50.114 --> 00:08:57.069
- provides the annexation territory that is divided by railroad tracks satisfies contiguity requirements

00:08:57.069 --> 00:09:03.552
- if the territory on at least one side of the railroad tracks is contiguous to the municipality.

00:09:03.552 --> 00:09:10.305
- So essentially allowing a property to voluntarily annex if they are adjacent to a railroad and then

00:09:10.305 --> 00:09:16.990
- that railroad is adjacent to the city's jurisdiction. All right, so now on the screen we have some

00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:23.117
- photographs of the property. These two on the screen now are from Google Street View. These are taken

00:09:23.117 --> 00:09:29.202
- in 2023. You can see the driveway there coming off of South Rogers Street and the parking area for the

00:09:29.202 --> 00:09:35.465
- current dwelling. Now on the screen, our photos were taken more recently. You can see the property marker

00:09:35.465 --> 00:09:41.492
- sign on the property, as well as the existing residence and a few cars parked there as well. And then

00:09:41.492 --> 00:09:45.982
- here's some more photographs from across the street, which is South Rogers.

00:09:48.162 --> 00:09:55.150
- Let's pause for a second. Please note that Commissioner Thomas has joined the meeting. All right.

00:09:55.150 --> 00:10:02.565
- Moving on, we have on the screen now, ordinance 92-43. This was the original ordinance that established

00:10:02.565 --> 00:10:09.766
- the Summersbee PUD. And in its description here, this legal description, it is evidence that it does

00:10:09.766 --> 00:10:14.686
- not incorporate the subject property that's before you this evening.

00:10:15.138 --> 00:10:21.388
- Additionally, we have the Summersbee subdivision plot here on the screen now. The subject property under

00:10:21.388 --> 00:10:27.697
- consideration this evening is directly to the south. And as you can see, it is not part of the Summersbee

00:10:27.697 --> 00:10:34.065
- subdivision, which created all of these lots to the north. And then here also is another piece of evidence

00:10:34.065 --> 00:10:40.315
- from the city of Bloomington's planning department that shows the Summersbee PUD, as well as the subject

00:10:40.315 --> 00:10:42.398
- property immediately to the south.

00:10:42.818 --> 00:10:52.853
- within a region that was known as RM 15 under the former fringe, two mile fringe zoning ordinance agreement.

00:10:52.853 --> 00:11:02.152
- So you can see it clearly was not part of the Summersbee PUD here as well. Now on the screen we have

00:11:02.152 --> 00:11:04.638
- the details for the zoning

00:11:04.834 --> 00:11:11.027
- district for the RES or residential one. On the left we have all the primary uses conditional uses and

00:11:11.027 --> 00:11:17.521
- accessory uses and then on the right we have the dimensional standards for that particular zoning district.

00:11:17.521 --> 00:11:23.653
- Although the property is surrounded by high development residential it was through this board as well

00:11:23.653 --> 00:11:27.742
- as the board of commissioners that a determination or a decision to

00:11:27.842 --> 00:11:34.196
- to rezone the property to residential was made. That happened at the most recent admin meeting of the

00:11:34.196 --> 00:11:40.488
- plan commission, which was held earlier this month. It was voted that the district should be rezoned

00:11:40.488 --> 00:11:46.842
- from the PUD to residential one, citing various reasons, including minimum lot size for this district

00:11:46.842 --> 00:11:53.259
- includes one acre. And as you can see on the left, under primary uses, there are a number of different

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:56.062
- residential uses available for the property.

00:12:01.154 --> 00:12:07.736
- All right, now on the screen we have a letter of support. This comes from the property owner themselves.

00:12:07.736 --> 00:12:14.131
- This letter of support was initially written during a phase of this petition where the recommendation

00:12:14.131 --> 00:12:20.400
- from staff was to rezone it to high development residential, which matches the surrounding district

00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:22.782
- or surrounding properties, excuse me.

00:12:22.914 --> 00:12:29.400
- And you can see that they are referencing the same pieces of information that staff was able to uncover

00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:35.700
- with respect to not actually being part of the PUD. It was erroneously zoned that way. And they were

00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:42.124
- originally, the property owner was originally in support of the high development residential district,

00:12:42.124 --> 00:12:47.550
- which was a little bit more in line of their development goals. As a reminder as well,

00:12:47.970 --> 00:12:54.497
- any further development of the property that increases that residential density that sewer connection

00:12:54.497 --> 00:13:01.216
- services needs to happen first. So it is an interest of the property owner to possibly voluntarily annex

00:13:01.216 --> 00:13:07.615
- if House Bill 1058 were to happen. However, there's still a lot of question marks regarding that as

00:13:07.615 --> 00:13:14.014
- well as even if they were to voluntarily annex if the city would agree to extend sewer services for

00:13:14.014 --> 00:13:16.382
- further development of the property.

00:13:17.698 --> 00:13:24.529
- All right, that brings me to staff's recommendation. Staff recommends forwarding a positive recommendation

00:13:24.529 --> 00:13:30.977
- to the Board of Commissioners regarding the rezone request, citing its compatibility with the Monroe

00:13:30.977 --> 00:13:37.872
- County Comprehensive Plan subject to Highway and Stormwater Program reports. I will now take any questions.

00:13:37.872 --> 00:13:44.958
- Any questions from any members of the Plant Commission? We'll start on my left, on my right. Okay, Mr. Bishop.

00:13:45.474 --> 00:13:53.547
- If the house bill does come to fruition, does that create kind of a slippery slope if they did decide

00:13:53.547 --> 00:14:01.542
- to voluntarily annex into the city that other pieces now being continually touched by that property,

00:14:01.542 --> 00:14:09.774
- would that also be able to annex themselves in? I'm not sure if that, you know, it depends on how house

00:14:09.774 --> 00:14:14.206
- bill 1058 is worded. I'm not sure if you can extend the

00:14:14.306 --> 00:14:24.713
- continuity requirement through the railroad allowance of that House bill. So I'm not sure I would defer

00:14:24.713 --> 00:14:35.120
- to legal or otherwise, yeah. Yeah, I don't know the answer to that. If there's no other comments, let's

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.622
- go ahead and go to the petitioner.

00:14:38.978 --> 00:14:46.345
- or the representative, if you'd approach to the podium, sign in, state your name, and you have 15 minutes

00:14:46.345 --> 00:14:53.712
- to comment. Well, interestingly enough, because this was a staff-originated petition, the plan commission

00:14:53.712 --> 00:15:01.079
- is the applicant. Therefore, you all are the applicant of this petition. The property owner may be online

00:15:01.079 --> 00:15:01.982
- and may have

00:15:02.146 --> 00:15:07.940
- comments during the public comment period. But again, they included that letter that originally was

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:13.908
- in support of the High Development Residential District. So apparently we don't have any comments from

00:15:13.908 --> 00:15:19.702
- the Planning Commission or commissioners on this topic. So let's go ahead and go to the public. And

00:15:19.702 --> 00:15:25.553
- if you're online, please raise your hand. And if you're present in the room, just go ahead and up to

00:15:25.553 --> 00:15:28.798
- podium, sign in and you have three minutes for comment.

00:15:35.618 --> 00:15:44.724
- seeing anyone online either. Alrighty looks like we're not going to have any public comments so let's

00:15:44.724 --> 00:15:53.830
- go ahead and consider a discussion with members of the Plan Commission. We'll again start on my right

00:15:53.830 --> 00:15:57.758
- this time and see if you have any comments.

00:16:03.522 --> 00:16:11.488
- I do want to add one correction. I guess I should add negative comments. Are there any negative comments

00:16:11.488 --> 00:16:19.303
- either online or present in the room? No negative comments. Okay, now we go to the planning commission

00:16:19.303 --> 00:16:26.814
- and we'll start on my right this time if you have comments. Okay, how about a motion and a second?

00:16:29.186 --> 00:16:36.879
- For case REZ-25-7, I move that we forward a positive recommendation to the Board of Commissioners regarding

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:44.216
- the rezone request from PUD to RES, citing its compatibility with the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan

00:16:44.216 --> 00:16:51.553
- and subject to Highway and Stormwater program reports. And I also recommend a waiver of final hearing.

00:16:51.553 --> 00:16:54.046
- Second. Okay, we have a, go ahead.

00:16:54.850 --> 00:17:03.920
- It's been moved and seconded to send a positive recommendation to the County Commissioners for REZ-25-7,

00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:12.730
- and also to grant the waiver of final hearing. A vote yes is a vote to send a positive recommendation

00:17:12.730 --> 00:17:21.541
- and waive the final hearing. Jeff Morris? Yes. Julie Thomas? Yes. David Bush? Yes. Margaret Clements?

00:17:21.541 --> 00:17:23.614
- Yes. Scott Ferris? Yes.

00:17:24.162 --> 00:17:32.818
- Rudy Fields? Yes. David Henry? Oh, sorry, David Henry's not here. Then the motion carries six to zero.

00:17:32.818 --> 00:17:41.559
- All right. That brings us to our next new business, which is P.U.O. 23.5, which is the Highlands P.U.D.

00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:47.358
- Outline Plan Amendment to Partial E. And Sean, you're the presenter.

00:17:55.682 --> 00:18:04.909
- So to reiterate, this is the Highlands PUD outline plan amendment specifically to parcel E. So this

00:18:04.909 --> 00:18:14.598
- petition involves specifically West Rangeview Circle. So the request is to amend the ordinance to revise

00:18:14.598 --> 00:18:24.286
- the inner road loop classification within the Highlands parcel E, also known as Link's Edge subdivision.

00:18:25.122 --> 00:18:33.233
- with the purpose to change it from public to a private road. So changing the road classification from

00:18:33.233 --> 00:18:41.423
- public to private would mean the responsibility for maintaining the roadway would be that of a private

00:18:41.423 --> 00:18:49.534
- entity, so i.e. the developer or an HOA. Upon inspection of the roadway, County Highway noted several

00:18:49.534 --> 00:18:52.158
- deficiencies, those ranging from

00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:59.713
- The proposed buildings being built at a higher elevation than what the plans called for. The cross slope

00:18:59.713 --> 00:19:06.976
- for the sidewalks is greater than 2% slope. That would be significant because that is not ADA compliant.

00:19:06.976 --> 00:19:14.101
- The mailboxes that were installed blocked the site distance. Parking stripes were painted incorrectly,

00:19:14.101 --> 00:19:17.214
- and then there were noted sidewalk cracking.

00:19:17.730 --> 00:19:24.819
- Aside from those items, the development has otherwise been completed, and to our knowledge, the homes

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:31.768
- have received certificate of occupancy, so they are or can be occupied. So to resolve many of these

00:19:31.768 --> 00:19:38.787
- issues, especially in regards to slope, would require deconstruction potentially of the driveways or

00:19:38.787 --> 00:19:41.150
- the entire structures themselves.

00:19:46.338 --> 00:19:54.074
- On the screen are the location and site conditions maps. So this is located in Perry Township just right

00:19:54.074 --> 00:20:01.589
- off of South Rockport Road, about a half a mile south from the intersection of Tap Road, Country Club

00:20:01.589 --> 00:20:09.104
- Road, and South Rockport Road. Site condition maps, otherwise nothing necessarily out of the ordinary

00:20:09.104 --> 00:20:16.030
- from a planning perspective. On the screen are the zoning and comprehensive plan zoning maps.

00:20:16.194 --> 00:20:25.175
- Those are also in the packet just there for reference. So a little background on this particular parcel.

00:20:25.175 --> 00:20:33.814
- It was originally approved by the City of Bloomington and has since been transferred to the county's

00:20:33.814 --> 00:20:42.539
- jurisdiction. In 2018, the Plan Commission did conduct a series of meetings discussing the preference

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:46.046
- of having West Rangeview Court be public

00:20:46.242 --> 00:20:54.019
- A lot of those discussions, which was also the developer's original intent, but a lot of those discussions

00:20:54.019 --> 00:21:01.797
- were based on concerns of transferring the responsibility for maintaining the roadway onto the homeowners,

00:21:01.797 --> 00:21:09.211
- whether that be an HOA or similar. The entire development currently is owned by the developer and the

00:21:09.211 --> 00:21:13.790
- units, again, are available for occupancy. As of January 2026,

00:21:13.890 --> 00:21:20.391
- The petitioner has received that COO for all buildings in the development. The stormwater program and

00:21:20.391 --> 00:21:27.337
- highway department otherwise do not have further requests for the developer at this time. But the petitioner

00:21:27.337 --> 00:21:33.901
- is continuously working with the highway department with regards to acceptance of South Wiccan Street,

00:21:33.901 --> 00:21:37.534
- which is the roadway adjacent to West Range View Circle.

00:21:39.906 --> 00:21:48.194
- And on the screen, I have the approved phasing map. So I noted from my site visits that a lot of the

00:21:48.194 --> 00:21:57.056
- concerns with regards to slope, with regards to parking, are located in phase two, which is on the northern

00:21:57.056 --> 00:21:59.518
- part you see here on the map.

00:22:07.362 --> 00:22:15.433
- This development was split into those three phases. Phase one did receive a final LUC, whereas phases

00:22:15.433 --> 00:22:23.582
- two and three were provided conditional LUC. I left descriptions for what each of those LUCs entailed.

00:22:23.582 --> 00:22:32.128
- I'll just go through them briefly. The petitioner was able to complete final landscaping, provide as-builts

00:22:32.128 --> 00:22:36.638
- for the detention pond, also provide final stabilization

00:22:37.058 --> 00:22:44.874
- safety fencing around the detention basin. That was in August of 2022. And that LUC was conditional

00:22:44.874 --> 00:22:52.769
- upon completing the roadways and getting the improvements accepted into the inventory, which is what

00:22:52.769 --> 00:23:00.742
- they're here now for, because there's been some difficulty getting those accepted. So they are hoping

00:23:00.742 --> 00:23:06.526
- to change that from public to private. For LUC 23-13, which is phase two,

00:23:06.850 --> 00:23:13.709
- that LUC was conditional upon completing the roadways and getting the improvements completed into the

00:23:13.709 --> 00:23:20.904
- inventory. And then phase one, the final LUC was granted. However, upon review, by the time the petitioner

00:23:20.904 --> 00:23:27.964
- got to phase three, it was noted that the detention basin in phase one, which is nearest to phase three,

00:23:27.964 --> 00:23:34.890
- required an as-built. And upon further review, the developer worked with staff to submit new as-builts

00:23:34.890 --> 00:23:35.966
- and comply with

00:23:36.290 --> 00:23:43.823
- the required material changes. I provided a brief timeline for this development. I did note that there

00:23:43.823 --> 00:23:51.282
- were errors in the staff report, so I just want to correct those here. So the Planning Commission did

00:23:51.282 --> 00:23:58.668
- give a positive recommendation seven to one on October 18th, 2018, and it was approved by the County

00:23:58.668 --> 00:24:01.374
- Commissioners on December 5th, 2018.

00:24:02.114 --> 00:24:09.174
- And the final plat was recorded February 1st, 2021. So I just want to make sure that was corrected.

00:24:09.174 --> 00:24:16.516
- On September 25th, 2023, the petitioner filed for the outline plan amendment to make Rangeview private.

00:24:16.516 --> 00:24:23.576
- So this is that same petition before you. However, the petitioner withdrew that request on December

00:24:23.576 --> 00:24:25.694
- 4th for reasons of their own.

00:24:27.618 --> 00:24:35.547
- And then in November of 2025, the petitioner reactivated the request and this petition was reviewed

00:24:35.547 --> 00:24:44.190
- at the Ordnance Review Committee on December 8th, 2025. So the ORC did make some comments for the developer.

00:24:44.190 --> 00:24:52.437
- They did request the developer review the inspection list provided by the county and determine if there

00:24:52.437 --> 00:24:56.798
- were improvements they could make to Rangeview Circle.

00:24:57.090 --> 00:25:03.039
- County staff also met with the developer and at the time the developer was not interested in making

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:09.226
- any changes to Rangeview Circle because he would prefer that the road be changed from public to private

00:25:09.226 --> 00:25:15.413
- and the developer would maintain it in perpetuity. Planning staff did delay the Plan Commission hearing

00:25:15.413 --> 00:25:19.934
- in anticipation that the developer would make progress on Rangeview Circle.

00:25:20.514 --> 00:25:28.119
- specifically voluntary improvements and make progress on getting wiccans accepted into the county inventory.

00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:35.376
- And then to date, the petitioner should be working with the highway department to get wiccans accepted.

00:25:35.376 --> 00:25:42.353
- The timeline or the status for that is needed from the developer or the petitioner's representative

00:25:42.353 --> 00:25:44.446
- as that is currently ongoing.

00:25:47.906 --> 00:25:55.723
- are photos that were taken after the packet was published. So they are just some updated photos.

00:25:55.723 --> 00:26:04.104
- From 2023, not too much has changed from when I last went out there and took photos. So I'll just leave

00:26:04.104 --> 00:26:07.166
- them on the screen in a brief moment.

00:26:16.898 --> 00:26:27.685
- in the following images I took just to help portray some of the issues, some of the issues that were

00:26:27.685 --> 00:26:38.473
- noted in the packet with regards to steep slope, incorrect parking lines, which are noted here. They

00:26:38.473 --> 00:26:46.590
- are perpendicular. They should be parallel according to the approved plans.

00:26:56.130 --> 00:27:03.590
- I did note the developer is required to maintain landscaping in perpetuity. It looks like there were

00:27:03.590 --> 00:27:11.124
- some plantings that did receive damage possibly from either a storm or from the very recent snowstorm

00:27:11.124 --> 00:27:18.805
- that we had. Also took a picture of the mailboxes and just some of the conditions of the pavement. Most

00:27:18.805 --> 00:27:25.822
- of the pavement does not look like the picture on the upper left-hand side, but those are just

00:27:26.498 --> 00:27:33.486
- some instances that would be of concern if the highway department were to take that in, those would

00:27:33.486 --> 00:27:41.104
- need to be repaired. So that does lead me to staff's recommendation. So I did prepare staff's recommendation

00:27:41.104 --> 00:27:48.232
- for positive recommendation, but in the event that the planning commission were to deny this request,

00:27:48.232 --> 00:27:55.360
- I also put in some staff comments for a negative recommendation. So I'll go through those. So staff's

00:27:55.360 --> 00:27:56.478
- recommendation,

00:27:56.930 --> 00:28:03.557
- is to forward a positive recommendation to the county commissioners due to the physical constraints

00:28:03.557 --> 00:28:10.383
- of the site and based on highway department and stormwater reports with the following four conditions.

00:28:10.383 --> 00:28:17.275
- The first being that the petitioner follow through with the application and hearing for acceptance into

00:28:17.275 --> 00:28:23.969
- the right of way for South Wiccans Drive, which will require fixing any known deficiencies. Two, any

00:28:23.969 --> 00:28:26.686
- missing trees shall be installed. Three,

00:28:26.946 --> 00:28:33.735
- move the mailboxes out of the right-of-way, and four, amend the parking striping from perpendicular

00:28:33.735 --> 00:28:40.660
- to parallel to match the approved plans. Should the plan commission send a negative recommendation to

00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:47.653
- the county commissioners, the following next steps should be required. So we have two. The first being

00:28:47.653 --> 00:28:51.998
- that the petitioner is required to post a new letter of credit.

00:28:52.418 --> 00:28:59.051
- or cashier's check in the amount required to meet county standards for all public improvements, that

00:28:59.051 --> 00:29:06.013
- being range view, circle, sidewalks, curb and gutter, et cetera. And two, that the petitioner must submit

00:29:06.013 --> 00:29:12.843
- to planning staff their timeline for completing all public improvements and the timeline for requesting

00:29:12.843 --> 00:29:18.622
- their acceptance into the county road inventory and to assess the 10% annual inflation.

00:29:20.066 --> 00:29:26.877
- So in review of Rangeview Circle deficiencies, highway staff believes that the elevation of the as-built

00:29:26.877 --> 00:29:33.818
- for the townhomes on the north side of the development, which is phase two, were built too high, resulting

00:29:33.818 --> 00:29:40.369
- in sidewalk cross slopes exceeding the 2% maximum limit. Therefore, staff does not see a pathway for

00:29:40.369 --> 00:29:47.180
- the developer to meet the requirements for acceptance without major redesign or potential reconstruction

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:48.542
- of this development.

00:29:48.738 --> 00:29:56.274
- And I will take any questions. All right. So questions from the planning commission go to my left. Mr.

00:29:56.274 --> 00:30:03.737
- Morris. I just want to clarify that I'm thinking about this correctly. So the same person owns all of

00:30:03.737 --> 00:30:11.054
- these individual units currently, right? Yeah. But they're all deeded as individual parcels. So the

00:30:11.054 --> 00:30:17.566
- developer could turn around and sell these to dozens of different individuals in theory.

00:30:18.626 --> 00:30:30.606
- Okay. Yes. Thank you. Also my left on my right. Commissioner Thomas. Um, yes. So, um, the mailboxes

00:30:30.606 --> 00:30:42.826
- are not, they're not impeding view, but they are in the right of way. Is that correct? It's, it's not

00:30:42.826 --> 00:30:45.342
- a safety issue. It's

00:30:46.402 --> 00:30:53.063
- The issue is the obstruction in the right of way. OK. It's not a track. I had thought initially that

00:30:53.063 --> 00:30:59.592
- it was an issue of obstructed view. And when I went there, I was like, it doesn't seem to me. Yes,

00:30:59.592 --> 00:31:06.187
- my mistake. But I couldn't tell. Yes, you're right. You're right. It's OK. I just want to make sure

00:31:06.187 --> 00:31:12.914
- I wasn't missing something, because that does happen a lot. OK. Now, when, and this may be a question

00:31:12.914 --> 00:31:15.486
- I need to ask Bobby LaRue in building.

00:31:15.682 --> 00:31:24.894
- But when you approve the occupancy, the certificate of occupancy is issued, it doesn't matter if the

00:31:24.894 --> 00:31:34.198
- sidewalks don't meet ADA requirements because that's not part of the building that you're inspecting.

00:31:34.198 --> 00:31:43.319
- Is that okay? That's true for Bobby, but for a land use certificate, I think it would be different.

00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:44.414
- Okay, yeah.

00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:56.219
- And I really appreciate the point that Mr. Morris raised because they're rented now, but if these are

00:31:56.219 --> 00:32:06.922
- later sold, there's nothing requiring that an HOA be created. Because if they're rented, there isn't

00:32:06.922 --> 00:32:15.294
- really an HOA. There's a leasing company that manages plowing and all of this.

00:32:15.586 --> 00:32:25.451
- And this is a great question for Mr. Schilling. How does then an HOA get created if only one unit with

00:32:25.451 --> 00:32:35.125
- multiple apartments in it or a few get sold to private owners? How do we ensure an HOA is created as

00:32:35.125 --> 00:32:44.990
- the county? Or is that just none of our business? I don't think that's the county's business once they

00:32:45.314 --> 00:32:53.226
- They get that far. OK, OK, thank you so much. Alright, I just have. Some follow up questions go back

00:32:53.226 --> 00:33:01.060
- to page 20 actually there right now. When you state the recommendation of positive recommendations,

00:33:01.060 --> 00:33:09.677
- you list four elements there. OK, my question is, have you discussed those four elements with the petitioner?

00:33:09.677 --> 00:33:14.142
- And if you did, what was the outcome of that discussion?

00:33:17.762 --> 00:33:24.751
- Sure. I think under the slide that Sean presented after the ORC meeting, meeting with the developer,

00:33:24.751 --> 00:33:31.879
- we pulled up the staff report. There was a bit of back and forth about the mailboxes or any omissions.

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:39.214
- And I don't think that's kind of why Sean was saying he wanted a status update on the Wiccans acceptance.

00:33:39.214 --> 00:33:46.342
- So I don't know that there's been any progress other than them saying the mailboxes were USPS's choice

00:33:46.342 --> 00:33:47.518
- to locate there.

00:33:47.938 --> 00:33:54.446
- have worked with USPS to locate mailboxes, other places, so that could be something that could be a

00:33:54.446 --> 00:34:01.149
- question for the petitioner. And as far as missing trees, when this petition came about, Sean recently

00:34:01.149 --> 00:34:07.721
- did a site visit, so we want to make sure we assess now that it's been a few years any missing trees

00:34:07.721 --> 00:34:14.294
- that are there or are not there. And then the parking striping, that was part of the comments about,

00:34:14.294 --> 00:34:16.702
- you know, voluntary improvements and

00:34:16.930 --> 00:34:25.009
- I think the consensus from the developer was, it'll be private, you don't have to worry about that.

00:34:25.009 --> 00:34:33.088
- Okay, thank you. Okay, next up is the petitioner or petitioner's representative. 15 minutes, please

00:34:33.088 --> 00:34:41.086
- sign in and state your name. And if tech services will start the timer, that would be appreciated.

00:34:50.466 --> 00:34:58.232
- Are you ready for me? Daniel Butler, Binding and Fanning Associates. Do I need to swear myself in or?

00:34:58.232 --> 00:35:06.149
- The BZA. Okay. Just wanted to check. Before I start talking, I get interrupted. Thanks. With me tonight

00:35:06.149 --> 00:35:13.763
- is Tom Wanneger representing ownership. So if there's any questions for him, feel free to ask. This

00:35:13.763 --> 00:35:20.158
- was Wickens and Rangeview. Some of you were here when this was originally approved.

00:35:20.258 --> 00:35:28.592
- years ago I was and so I represented this project and the design on Rangeview and Wickens at the time

00:35:28.592 --> 00:35:37.253
- was designed to county standards, meaning that road widths, parking, sidewalks, all those types of things

00:35:37.253 --> 00:35:46.078
- were the intention of them being per county standards so that they had the ability to go private or public.

00:35:46.498 --> 00:35:53.339
- There was discussion at that time about Rangeview in particular being private or public. We

00:35:53.339 --> 00:36:00.774
- didn't necessarily mind. Either way, whatever was the best was looked upon as the positive from the

00:36:00.774 --> 00:36:08.358
- county's point of view at that time. But we are asking now for Rangeview to be private and Wickens to

00:36:08.358 --> 00:36:15.422
- remain public. This would allow for full responsibility of the developer for Rangeview Circle.

00:36:15.522 --> 00:36:23.097
- This would be such things as snow removal, cleaning, et cetera. So that would take it off the county's

00:36:23.097 --> 00:36:30.892
- hands in that perspective. There are pros and cons. I won't go back through everything that was discussed

00:36:30.892 --> 00:36:38.540
- at that time about, you know, Rangeview being public or private. There was discussion in those original

00:36:38.540 --> 00:36:44.350
- meetings about that piece of it. Since then, Biden Fanio has performed to date

00:36:44.674 --> 00:36:55.653
- as built on Wickens. Those, we didn't find many of any, you know, deficiencies at this time on Wickens.

00:36:55.653 --> 00:37:06.950
- So, I was told to inform you that the decision to go private on Wickens or on Rangeview wasn't necessarily

00:37:06.950 --> 00:37:11.806
- because of deficiencies found, it was more to

00:37:11.906 --> 00:37:20.389
- allow them to control the ongoing maintenance of Rangeview Circle. I'm not aware that any of the conditions

00:37:20.389 --> 00:37:28.243
- that are recommended by staff are a problem. Perhaps the ownership can also answer any questions or

00:37:28.243 --> 00:37:36.254
- give any further discussion on that. But if there's any more questions, I'm here to answer along with

00:37:36.254 --> 00:37:37.118
- ownership.

00:37:42.818 --> 00:38:00.179
- Does the owner have any plans to create an HOA? If he's willing to talk, I'll have to ask him to come

00:38:00.179 --> 00:38:07.838
- forward. Please sign in and state your name.

00:38:15.778 --> 00:38:28.494
- I believe there's an HOA in place. Speak up because we can hardly hear what you just said. I believe

00:38:28.494 --> 00:38:41.463
- there's an HOA in place. Greg Lauer established it for me. Greg Lauer is a local attorney. Sorry? Greg

00:38:41.463 --> 00:38:44.862
- Lauer is a local attorney.

00:38:48.066 --> 00:38:57.488
- So this is a bit of a unique situation with each of the parcels being owned by the same company. So

00:38:57.488 --> 00:39:07.099
- is there money paid into HOA fees on a regular basis? No, because I control it all. If it divided up,

00:39:07.099 --> 00:39:17.086
- then you would start having fees. OK, thank you. I know there's several water detention facilities on the

00:39:18.594 --> 00:39:28.994
- project. And if there is not an HOA in place to maintain those, how and if the properties are eventually

00:39:28.994 --> 00:39:39.097
- going to be sold off, how will that be funded and how will maintenance of the detention facilities be

00:39:39.097 --> 00:39:46.526
- accomplished? I believe there is an HOA in place, so if it got divided up,

00:39:46.690 --> 00:39:55.861
- then they'd start paying fees and to take care of the maintenance of it. Right now, I would take care

00:39:55.861 --> 00:40:05.032
- of the maintenance of it. I guess my concern is if you reach a point where there is failure of one of

00:40:05.032 --> 00:40:11.326
- the detention basins and the HOA has not been funded yet and you have

00:40:11.682 --> 00:40:22.750
- or at least not funded to the point where it would cover the costs of repairing or maintaining it, and

00:40:22.750 --> 00:40:33.711
- you have sold the properties, then it seems like there's a shortfall there. That's my concern. That's

00:40:33.711 --> 00:40:40.158
- why I asked. Mr. Thomas? Yeah, so I'm not sure I understand

00:40:40.962 --> 00:40:50.443
- The contention that the reason this roadway will remain in private hands rather than entering the county

00:40:50.443 --> 00:40:59.472
- inventory is just a personal choice versus the fact that buildings were built at a higher elevation

00:40:59.472 --> 00:41:06.334
- and the slope on the sidewalks doesn't meet ADA requirements. It just seems

00:41:08.898 --> 00:41:20.465
- It seems to me that what we're being asked to do is to okay something after the fact because the development

00:41:20.465 --> 00:41:32.350
- doesn't meet county standards. I just want to maintain it myself. I think I can do a better job maintaining it.

00:41:33.698 --> 00:41:41.202
- have to do the sidewalks and have to do the driveways on snow removal. I might as well do the main road

00:41:41.202 --> 00:41:48.778
- too. This causes a lot of problems. And it's nobody's fault, but when a plow truck pushes, then it clogs

00:41:48.778 --> 00:41:56.065
- off somebody's driveway. And so if I'm in control of all of it, then I can take care of all. But how

00:41:56.065 --> 00:42:02.270
- is it that you all didn't come back to the planning department when you were building

00:42:03.618 --> 00:42:13.744
- to say we're going to a higher elevation than our plans indicated. Was that just? What they're talking

00:42:13.744 --> 00:42:23.673
- about, to be honest, but but one was put higher or not. It was an old quarry and there is solid rock

00:42:23.673 --> 00:42:33.406
- there, so there's probably places. Solid rock. Can someone from staff address the elevation issue?

00:42:37.154 --> 00:42:45.262
- Sure. So typically when we ask for as built, it's at the time of acceptance into the inventory because

00:42:45.262 --> 00:42:53.371
- they've never prompted the actual request. We've just gone out and done our inspections as we normally

00:42:53.371 --> 00:43:01.558
- do. So when we first received this application was in 2023, it was withdrawn. We don't understand quite

00:43:01.558 --> 00:43:03.998
- why. And now it's reactivated.

00:43:04.130 --> 00:43:11.857
- But under the 2023 petition, we did go out and see all the deficiencies. And of course, during the land

00:43:11.857 --> 00:43:20.030
- use certificate process, we identified that none of the sidewalks met ADA. At that time, we had a performance

00:43:20.030 --> 00:43:27.534
- guarantee for the sidewalks. We've notified the petitioner that those would be needing to be removed

00:43:27.534 --> 00:43:28.574
- and replaced.

00:43:29.890 --> 00:43:41.249
- and they should be aware of the deficiencies and the differences from that standpoint. Thank you. I

00:43:41.249 --> 00:43:52.835
- have a serious problem with noncompliance. I see a lot of noncompliance in what's been going on since

00:43:52.835 --> 00:43:58.174
- 2018. I went out there and drove your property

00:44:03.042 --> 00:44:10.849
- driveways and a slope of those driveways, I do not know how a mother with children could pull into that

00:44:10.849 --> 00:44:18.656
- driveway and open those doors and let those kids out, or an elderly person. This doesn't make any sense

00:44:18.656 --> 00:44:26.238
- to me based upon what I saw. The slope is bad. Elevation's another issue. When I drove through this,

00:44:26.238 --> 00:44:32.318
- and this is right after the snow removal or attempted snow removal of the areas,

00:44:34.274 --> 00:44:41.750
- Those cars were parked so close together on the left and the right-hand side of the road and the ones

00:44:41.750 --> 00:44:49.300
- who are diagonal. I don't know how, even if it wasn't a county inventory, I do not know how they would

00:44:49.300 --> 00:44:56.996
- get a plow through there to plow that street. Now, I may have heard you wrong, but maybe you can provide

00:44:56.996 --> 00:44:58.462
- some clarification.

00:45:00.866 --> 00:45:09.549
- If you take, if this happens and it goes private and you're now responsible for it, does that include

00:45:09.549 --> 00:45:18.147
- in repairing and improving the driveways, the sidewalks, the mailboxes, the parking stripes, all the

00:45:18.147 --> 00:45:27.256
- things have been brought up here? Is that something you plan on doing? All right, I see this as a systemic

00:45:27.256 --> 00:45:29.214
- issue with compliance.

00:45:30.018 --> 00:45:41.054
- And it's been known. It has not been corrected. It's been addressed by staff. I'm going to have a hard

00:45:41.054 --> 00:45:52.196
- time supporting this. Anything else you'd like to add? Or your petitioner's representative? Do you have

00:45:52.196 --> 00:45:57.982
- an update on wickets being accepted to the inventory?

00:46:00.738 --> 00:46:07.844
- Like I mentioned, we've given the Planning and the Highway Department some as-bills on Wiccans to try

00:46:07.844 --> 00:46:14.810
- to get to that point to allow for Wiccans to be accepted into the inventory. Again, that would come

00:46:14.810 --> 00:46:22.404
- up with any deficiencies that might be on Wiccans. I know we've been talking a little bit about deficiencies

00:46:22.404 --> 00:46:29.022
- on Rangeview, so we've been doing as-bill information on that to try to progress towards that.

00:46:29.186 --> 00:46:38.009
- I believe at that time, if there's anything found between us and the highway department, that would

00:46:38.009 --> 00:46:46.920
- create a separate list, if anything. I'm not aware of anything from the as built on that. What about

00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:55.743
- the mailboxes? Move the mailboxes, but that was where the post office told us to put the mailboxes.

00:46:55.743 --> 00:46:58.302
- So you're willing, amenable.

00:47:05.570 --> 00:47:14.218
- Again, to reiterate, if there was the four conditions that were listed for the positive recommendation

00:47:14.218 --> 00:47:23.371
- from staff, I don't believe that any of those are an issue for us to comply with as a condition of approval.

00:47:23.371 --> 00:47:31.851
- We hear concerns coming from you, and those would be concerns either way, and private or public, and

00:47:31.851 --> 00:47:34.622
- that we're asking for this to be

00:47:34.754 --> 00:47:44.662
- turn, not necessarily that those deficiencies would be fixed necessarily either way. We see it as a

00:47:44.662 --> 00:47:54.570
- separate issue and needs to be addressed one way or another in some fashion, and we understand your

00:47:54.570 --> 00:48:01.406
- concern. Right, anything else? Okay, now we turn to public comments.

00:48:02.626 --> 00:48:10.032
- And you have anybody online or anybody in the audience would like to come up and make a comment? You

00:48:10.032 --> 00:48:17.438
- have three minutes. I don't see anybody online and I don't see anybody coming up to the podium. That

00:48:17.438 --> 00:48:24.917
- brings up negative comments. Is there anybody online or in the audience who would like to come up and

00:48:24.917 --> 00:48:32.030
- provide negative comments? Just pause for a second. Councilperson Henry has entered the chamber.

00:48:37.378 --> 00:48:48.353
- It looks like we don't have any negative comments. That brings it back to the plan commission on whether

00:48:48.353 --> 00:48:59.013
- we want to entertain a motion. Oh, I'm sorry, Commissioner Thomas. It's okay. I was just wondering if

00:48:59.013 --> 00:49:07.166
- I could put Lisa Ridge on the spot and ask her to offer her thoughts on this.

00:49:11.746 --> 00:49:19.267
- Thank you for being here. Please sign in and state your name. Lisa Ridge, Highway Director. The only

00:49:19.267 --> 00:49:27.085
- thing I could probably add about the Wiccan Street, I do believe they met with the developer on December

00:49:27.085 --> 00:49:34.531
- 15th, 2025. The deficiencies that we recognized were noted, and then the acceptance came through to

00:49:34.531 --> 00:49:36.318
- try and get it accepted

00:49:36.610 --> 00:49:45.086
- with none of those deficiencies addressed. I know moving the mailboxes, non-permitted driveways, I believe

00:49:45.086 --> 00:49:53.323
- there's a sidewalk that goes outside of the right-of-way because it was built behind an electrical box.

00:49:53.323 --> 00:50:01.324
- So some of those things have never been addressed. So that's just what I know off the top of my head

00:50:01.324 --> 00:50:05.918
- at the moment. As far as the other piece, it's a problem.

00:50:06.530 --> 00:50:14.128
- It wasn't built to the way it was presented to be built when it was approved. And would the county highway

00:50:14.128 --> 00:50:21.230
- want it at this point? No. It's not good for our plow trucks. It wasn't built. The slopes, we can't

00:50:21.230 --> 00:50:28.473
- go in and afford to fix those issues. So I think it should have been built the way it was intended to

00:50:28.473 --> 00:50:32.734
- be built. Questions for Ms. Ridgeway, she's up there, left.

00:50:36.578 --> 00:50:45.059
- point where we. Because I was here. I think when this project was first approved and I I stated at the

00:50:45.059 --> 00:50:53.376
- time and we worked hard at the time to prevent the establishment of homeowners Association and their

00:50:53.376 --> 00:51:01.692
- responsibility to maintain the infrastructure and I we've been through a difficult winter with a lot

00:51:01.692 --> 00:51:04.574
- of heavy snow and we have a lot of

00:51:04.706 --> 00:51:13.229
- private roads where the individuals are responsible for the snow removal and it created quite a burden

00:51:13.229 --> 00:51:21.669
- on the homeowners. We also have had storm water failure where homeowners associations are responsible

00:51:21.669 --> 00:51:28.702
- for maintenance of complex drainage systems. So for this to not be accepted into the

00:51:29.602 --> 00:51:37.688
- public inventory and into the highway inventory is a problem for me because if I recall correctly, that

00:51:37.688 --> 00:51:45.230
- was something that we worked hard to ascertain from the beginning. And the reason is for overall

00:51:45.230 --> 00:51:53.783
- affordability of people living in those neighborhoods because it's our role in part to protect the investment

00:51:53.783 --> 00:51:57.982
- of their treasure and the property that they purchase

00:51:58.370 --> 00:52:06.994
- whoever is purchasing it. So I am saddened to see those steep slopes on the driveways that worries me.

00:52:06.994 --> 00:52:15.366
- I'm from a big family and I'm the oldest girl, so I imagine babies rolling down in their strollers.

00:52:15.366 --> 00:52:24.157
- I just can't stop myself from those instincts that, you know, if a mother's and her father in the garage

00:52:24.157 --> 00:52:27.422
- and turns away to get a bag out of the

00:52:27.554 --> 00:52:35.534
- out of the trunk that, you know, that some terrible things could happen and we've tried to avoid this

00:52:35.534 --> 00:52:43.904
- with our due diligence from the beginning. So I want to state that I'm disappointed. I'm just disappointed

00:52:43.904 --> 00:52:51.727
- that this has come to this and that the project hasn't been built as our county worked hard and the

00:52:51.727 --> 00:52:56.734
- plan commission worked hard to ascertain that it would be built

00:52:57.026 --> 00:53:04.291
- for on behalf of the community, which is our role. I want to state that. Yeah, I think just two weeks

00:53:04.291 --> 00:53:11.556
- ago we had an extensive conversation about snow removal on private roads. And I think we were talking

00:53:11.556 --> 00:53:18.963
- about how we get into these situations where we have roads in neighborhoods that aren't getting plowed.

00:53:18.963 --> 00:53:26.014
- And I think we've got a perfect example right in front of us tonight of how these situations form.

00:53:26.530 --> 00:53:39.905
- And so I'd be very hesitant to vote in favour of this. Yes, I'd like to comment as well. I would like

00:53:39.905 --> 00:53:53.411
- to acknowledge and agree with what you just stated, because I know there was a high profile discussion

00:53:53.411 --> 00:53:55.902
- about snow removal

00:53:56.386 --> 00:54:05.995
- private versus public. And unfortunately, I think a lot of people that thought they were getting county

00:54:05.995 --> 00:54:15.419
- services did not because, you know, they found out the hard way that they were on a private road. And

00:54:15.419 --> 00:54:23.550
- I think that is often unfair to the homebuyers because they don't know that it's always

00:54:24.610 --> 00:54:33.251
- advertised up front that way to them before they make the purchase. They go into it in good faith and

00:54:33.251 --> 00:54:42.061
- they end up buying a piece of property and find out they're not getting what they anticipated. I'm also

00:54:42.061 --> 00:54:50.957
- concerned that all these properties are currently being rented and held by one owner or holding company,

00:54:50.957 --> 00:54:54.430
- and that if they're going to be sold off

00:54:55.234 --> 00:55:04.389
- I don't know that there's any way that I could be comfortable believing that the snow removal and the

00:55:04.389 --> 00:55:13.365
- other services that are being advertised to be provided in perpetuity will actually be provided. So

00:55:13.365 --> 00:55:18.750
- I also am going to have trouble supporting this. Thank you.

00:55:27.362 --> 00:55:33.816
- Thank you, Colonel Farris. Just, and again, I understand I'm coming in halfway through this discussion,

00:55:33.816 --> 00:55:40.146
- but from what I just heard from the dais and the commentary, I just go back to the recommendations of

00:55:40.146 --> 00:55:46.352
- the staff. So is, this is a positive recommendation, right? But the commentary I'm hearing from the

00:55:46.352 --> 00:55:52.806
- desk is about things that are not one through four. So I see the right-of-way, I see the missing trees,

00:55:52.806 --> 00:55:57.150
- I see the mailbox right-of-way, I see the parking striping, but we're

00:55:57.602 --> 00:56:07.190
- a lot of commentary about the grade and snow removal. If it's already been answered, I apologize if

00:56:07.190 --> 00:56:17.737
- it's been brought up, but is there a fifth piece here that just didn't make into the positive recommendation?

00:56:17.737 --> 00:56:26.654
- Is that the redlining? Okay. Okay. All right, do we have a motion? I'd like to just say that

00:56:26.882 --> 00:56:36.225
- Waiver of final hearing is not automatic. And I think this should be, I guess, heard again at our next

00:56:36.225 --> 00:56:45.658
- month's meeting. And so my motion is no motion for P.U.O.-23-5. And hopefully Mr. Whittaker, Mr. Butler

00:56:45.658 --> 00:56:55.454
- can work with staff and see what can be done and if any of these compliance issues can be better addressed.

00:56:55.746 --> 00:57:09.248
- I don't know how my colleagues feel. Second. Was that a motion? Was that a motion? My motion is no motion.

00:57:09.248 --> 00:57:16.062
- I think that it can automatically just go to the next

00:57:16.322 --> 00:57:24.275
- Agenda item, but let me for the groups and the developer applicants Edification, let me go over some

00:57:24.275 --> 00:57:32.307
- of the things that if continued you would all hope to see them come back with So I think that there's

00:57:32.307 --> 00:57:40.497
- a request to still work with staff to do some of the voluntary Improvements at this point to West range

00:57:40.497 --> 00:57:44.670
- view circle as we had requested prior Okay, and then

00:57:44.834 --> 00:57:52.554
- We were just checking at our desk. We did not see the HOA details, so we can come back with is there

00:57:52.554 --> 00:58:00.503
- an HOA in place? Does it detail funds going into the HOA bank if these were to be sold to give you more

00:58:00.503 --> 00:58:08.146
- information? And then it sounds like we need more updates on the progress of wiccans being put into

00:58:08.146 --> 00:58:12.350
- the inventory as we had suggested that that should be.

00:58:12.738 --> 00:58:20.889
- hopefully approved and in the inventory before the county commissioners makes a vote on the private

00:58:20.889 --> 00:58:29.610
- versus public nature of range use circle. So at least part of the development would be public and accepted

00:58:29.610 --> 00:58:38.250
- at that point. Is there anything else before I call the roll? I am left. Anybody on the right? All right.

00:58:38.250 --> 00:58:41.918
- And we can lastly, I don't know how we could

00:58:42.786 --> 00:58:50.346
- We will attempt, but in the red line text, we're saying to post a new letter of credit. Honestly, we

00:58:50.346 --> 00:58:58.130
- will have to work with the petitioner's representative to come up with a number of what that could even

00:58:58.130 --> 00:59:05.689
- look like because of the elevation issues and some redesign ideas. So as of right now, the motion on

00:59:05.689 --> 00:59:12.126
- the table is not to waive the final hearing. And this would go to the March 4th, 2026

00:59:12.290 --> 00:59:26.591
- or sorry, that's the admin date. It would be March 17th, 2026, regular plan commission meeting. Margaret

00:59:26.591 --> 00:59:40.348
- Clements? Yes. Ferris? Yes. Rudy Fields? Yes. David Henry? Yes. Jeff Morris? Yes. Julie Thomas? Yes.

00:59:40.348 --> 00:59:41.982
- David Bush?

00:59:42.210 --> 00:59:49.237
- Okay, motion does carry seven to zero to bring this back to the March 17th plan commission meeting.

00:59:49.237 --> 00:59:56.265
- All right. That brings us to our third item on new business, which is P P U O 25 four, which is the

00:59:56.265 --> 01:00:03.714
- point P U D outline plan for Eagle Bay garages. And there is also a waiver or a final hearing and Daniel,

01:00:03.714 --> 01:00:05.822
- I think you're up over there.

01:00:12.962 --> 01:00:19.135
- Thank you. So the request is to amend the Eagle Bay portion of the point plan due to development to

01:00:19.135 --> 01:00:25.618
- include self-storage as a permitted use. The purpose of this is to establish a series of storage garages

01:00:25.618 --> 01:00:31.914
- on the subject property. More specifically, the petitioner is proposing to remove the existing tennis

01:00:31.914 --> 01:00:38.150
- court and basketball court on the property and replace them with a series of self-storage units that

01:00:38.150 --> 01:00:42.718
- will then be rented out by members of the Eagle Bay portion of the point.

01:00:43.170 --> 01:00:50.468
- Per the written statement of character, Exhibit 6 in the packet, there will be 36 storage units proposed,

01:00:50.468 --> 01:00:57.353
- 22 of the storage units will be 12 feet by 26 feet, and the remaining 14 units will be 8 by 8 feet.

01:00:57.353 --> 01:01:04.444
- However, self-storage is not included in the list of permitted uses for this PUD, hence this amendment

01:01:04.444 --> 01:01:11.742
- is being requested by the petitioner. The petitioner's representative requests that the use be defined as

01:01:11.906 --> 01:01:19.947
- private, non-commercial storage limited to the personal belongings of the individual unit's owner. So

01:01:19.947 --> 01:01:28.067
- for some backgrounds, the point planned unit development was originally created in 1973. The Eagle Bay

01:01:28.067 --> 01:01:36.581
- portion in particular was created in 1991, consisting largely of single-family residences and condominiums.

01:01:36.581 --> 01:01:40.286
- 1991, sorry, I think I was at 1971 by mistake.

01:01:41.474 --> 01:01:50.070
- The portion where the development that is being amended by this petition is separate from the area where

01:01:50.070 --> 01:01:58.420
- Eagle Bay condominiums have been built is further east. So the area to be amended at self-storage was

01:01:58.420 --> 01:02:07.262
- approved in 1992. However, the Eagle Bay condominiums phase two were plotted in 1988 and developed in 1998.

01:02:07.522 --> 01:02:13.944
- The single-family development north of the common area subject to this amendment was never recorded

01:02:13.944 --> 01:02:20.494
- as a development plan either. It does appear that the retracement survey and other recorded documents

01:02:20.494 --> 01:02:26.916
- reference the common area as an exemption to the overall approved area as shown as the exhibit 8 of

01:02:26.916 --> 01:02:33.337
- the packet. So to create the subdivision lots as shown in exhibit 8 would require a replatting or a

01:02:33.337 --> 01:02:34.750
- new development plan.

01:02:34.882 --> 01:02:42.014
- However, the use would still be permitted under the outline plan and the development plan. And this

01:02:42.014 --> 01:02:49.432
- is the subdivision in question. The subject property that we are hearing tonight is outlined in yellow.

01:02:49.432 --> 01:02:56.564
- And so the petitioner is requesting to amend the existing plan to unit development ordinance 232 by

01:02:56.564 --> 01:02:58.846
- adding the list of self-storage

01:02:59.746 --> 01:03:06.432
- the use of self-storage list uses. The area would serve the Eagle Bay to condominiums phase two, but

01:03:06.432 --> 01:03:13.251
- it's actually part of another area phase of the Eagle Bay that was not fully developed. But the common

01:03:13.251 --> 01:03:19.872
- area was purchased and is currently owned by the Eagle Bay Homeowners Association. The amendment as

01:03:19.872 --> 01:03:27.022
- stated before will remove the existing tennis and basketball courts on the property. The county development

01:03:27.022 --> 01:03:28.478
- ordinance has a stiff

01:03:28.770 --> 01:03:34.301
- has a definition of self-storage, but the petitioner has stated in the written character that the county

01:03:34.301 --> 01:03:39.569
- development ordinance does not have a definition for self-storage, but the petitioner has stated in

01:03:39.569 --> 01:03:44.942
- the written statement of character in exhibit six that the storage will be non-commercial and will be

01:03:44.942 --> 01:03:50.210
- limited to storing the residents' belongings. The petitioner further states that only the owners of

01:03:50.210 --> 01:03:55.689
- the Eagle Bay condos will be eligible to utilize self-storage buildings. Furthermore, the Monroe County

01:03:55.689 --> 01:03:58.270
- Drainage Board did review this plan back in May,

01:03:58.562 --> 01:04:05.334
- The presented preliminary plan included filtration and use of existing swales, but did not include any

01:04:05.334 --> 01:04:11.382
- detention because a waiver was granted. Preliminary plan was approved four to zero with one

01:04:11.382 --> 01:04:18.023
- member abstaining. A detailed plan is expected to be brought to the drainage board for a full review

01:04:18.023 --> 01:04:24.795
- upon submission of the site plan application. And here is their site plan in question, along with some

01:04:24.795 --> 01:04:28.542
- rough drawings of the proposed storage units themselves.

01:04:33.058 --> 01:04:39.683
- So there were some questions from the administrative meeting that have been presented to the petitioner,

01:04:39.683 --> 01:04:46.245
- which the petitioner has addressed. The first question is, will the garages have lighting? If yes, what

01:04:46.245 --> 01:04:52.681
- lighting standard will they meet in terms of photometric max? The petitioner responded, there will be

01:04:52.681 --> 01:04:59.306
- a light next to each garage door and they will be specified to meet CDO 815-1, which is outdoor lighting

01:04:59.306 --> 01:05:00.126
- regulations.

01:05:01.442 --> 01:05:08.299
- The second question was, will the units be sublet to owners outside of Eagle Bay Phase 2? The petitioner

01:05:08.299 --> 01:05:14.896
- responded that the units will be sold to Eagle Bay 1 owners first, and then they will be optioned to

01:05:14.896 --> 01:05:21.557
- Eagle Bay 2 owners. If there are any units remaining, they will be optioned to owners at Eagle Point.

01:05:21.557 --> 01:05:26.782
- Third question was, could they better define self-storage? Can RVs go in there?

01:05:27.586 --> 01:05:33.797
- The petitioner responded, the content of the units will be at the owner's discretion or whatever fits

01:05:33.797 --> 01:05:39.461
- inside the unit. There will be no exterior storage. Next question was, are the garages going

01:05:39.461 --> 01:05:45.672
- to be temperature controlled? The petitioner responded, the units will be temperature controlled only

01:05:45.672 --> 01:05:49.630
- at the owner's discretion. Each unit will be metered separately.

01:05:51.586 --> 01:05:58.844
- A question after that was, there was a concern of a zero-foot setback by Commissioner Thomas on the

01:05:58.844 --> 01:06:06.464
- east side. We know that the current impervious goes to the east lot line, but we noted to the petitioner

01:06:06.464 --> 01:06:13.214
- that it would be best to be prepared to answer that. The petitioner acknowledged this point.

01:06:14.594 --> 01:06:20.898
- The next was more of a staff question. The rezone is for the entirety of that parcel, but the garages

01:06:20.898 --> 01:06:27.572
- will only go on the concrete pad. There may be a movement to see if only the concrete pad could be eligible

01:06:27.572 --> 01:06:33.814
- for the garage or self-storage use. The petitioner once again acknowledged this point. And the final

01:06:33.814 --> 01:06:39.994
- question was, the outline plan switches terminology between garage and self-storage. Could there be

01:06:39.994 --> 01:06:42.590
- more consistency for the sake of clarity?

01:06:42.754 --> 01:06:49.848
- And the petitioner responded that yes, they will consider the uses to be self-storage. And once again,

01:06:49.848 --> 01:06:57.218
- the petitioner defined self-storage via email as privates, non-commercial storage, limited to the personal

01:06:57.218 --> 01:07:04.381
- belongings of individual unit owners. And I do have copies of that email to hand out to the commission.

01:07:04.381 --> 01:07:09.822
- All right, are there any comments from the planning commission? Go on my left.

01:07:11.170 --> 01:07:17.961
- Sorry, may I make the staff recommendation first? Sorry. I thought you was done, you paused. I didn't

01:07:17.961 --> 01:07:24.952
- see your slide, sorry. Staff recommends forwarding a positive recommendation to the County Commissioners

01:07:24.952 --> 01:07:31.677
- for the planned units outline plan amendment request subject to the Monroe County Highway Department

01:07:31.677 --> 01:07:36.670
- and stormwater program manager reports with the following conditions. One,

01:07:36.770 --> 01:07:45.018
- The petitioner update the written statement of character with the definition of self-storage, and two,

01:07:45.018 --> 01:07:53.666
- specify that development will comply with Chapter 815 lighting regulations as well in the written statement

01:07:53.666 --> 01:08:01.994
- of character. And I will take any questions. Now comments from the Planning Commission on my left. Yes,

01:08:01.994 --> 01:08:06.078
- go ahead. Separate electric meters for every shed.

01:08:07.714 --> 01:08:18.562
- Yes, each unit will be metered separately per the petitioner's email. Okay, so you mentioned the site

01:08:18.562 --> 01:08:31.006
- plan hasn't gone to Drainage Board yet. A preliminary version has gone to Drainage Board is my understanding and was

01:08:31.330 --> 01:08:40.660
- approved and given a waiver. However, I think that once the full development plan is created and really

01:08:40.660 --> 01:08:50.079
- made in depth, then the Drainage Board will take another look to for final approval. That would be good.

01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:54.206
- And I would ask next, just for clarification,

01:08:54.530 --> 01:09:02.913
- What happens if this gets a positive recommendation, the P.U.O. changes, the full plan goes to the drainage

01:09:02.913 --> 01:09:10.754
- board and the drainage board says no? I'm uncertain. That might be a better question for stormwater.

01:09:10.754 --> 01:09:18.516
- But I do believe that it would hold up this plan. Or at the very least, it would cause some change,

01:09:18.516 --> 01:09:21.854
- alterations to plan to be made. Thank you.

01:09:26.914 --> 01:09:34.752
- So it says non-commercial use of the storage facilities. Is there any limitation as to what can be stored

01:09:34.752 --> 01:09:42.220
- in there in terms of, you know, caustic materials or hazardous materials, things like that? I assume

01:09:42.220 --> 01:09:50.057
- it would go along with the HOA, you know, allowances and whatnot, or is that a separate issue altogether?

01:09:50.057 --> 01:09:56.638
- So when they're proposing the building for a building permit, they will have to disclose

01:09:56.802 --> 01:10:03.495
- the basically the type of storage that they will have in there and that will determine, you know, fire

01:10:03.495 --> 01:10:10.382
- protection standards. Also, I know our stormwater division when there are developments or garages located

01:10:10.382 --> 01:10:17.010
- near sinkholes or near lakes, they can ask for certain things such as like double containers for like

01:10:17.010 --> 01:10:23.573
- paints and things like that so that if there is a spill unattended, it at least doesn't leak out and

01:10:23.573 --> 01:10:26.302
- go immediately into the nearby watershed.

01:10:27.426 --> 01:10:35.035
- And is the ongoing monitoring of that, is that incumbent upon the HOA itself then? It would be, well,

01:10:35.035 --> 01:10:42.718
- I mean, if it's part of the outline plan and we saw a violation, we could do it as part of enforcement

01:10:42.718 --> 01:10:50.177
- if there's an actual violation. But in terms of regular communication and making sure people follow

01:10:50.177 --> 01:10:53.534
- the rules, that would be on the HOA. Thanks.

01:10:56.770 --> 01:11:04.883
- So I just have one question and it's kind of a follow up to Mr. Field's question about there being separate

01:11:04.883 --> 01:11:12.469
- meters on the garages. And it's for my own edification. I know that the city uses these individually

01:11:12.469 --> 01:11:20.056
- powered, solar powered lithium, I don't know, meters. Do we require those in the county or do we use

01:11:20.056 --> 01:11:26.366
- those in the county? Because I've heard reports the fire concerns related to those.

01:11:27.970 --> 01:11:36.627
- As far as a lighting, we're just regulating if they're putting in lighting that it meets dark sky compliance.

01:11:36.627 --> 01:11:44.811
- Is that your question? Oh, it has to do with the meters. Oh, with the meters. Yeah. How are the meters?

01:11:44.811 --> 01:11:52.681
- Is there automatic self-reporting? Are they powered to some kind of solar battery that then reports

01:11:52.681 --> 01:11:56.222
- to a utility, for example? Or do we have the

01:11:56.322 --> 01:12:03.045
- normal old fashioned kind in the county, you know, where a reader come out and checks it. I think that

01:12:03.045 --> 01:12:09.702
- that depends on the utility company, but I'm not sure that there's anything in the building code that

01:12:09.702 --> 01:12:16.882
- requires smart metering. Yeah, that's the word I was looking for smart metering because on garage facilities,

01:12:16.882 --> 01:12:23.865
- I think the smart metering could be more problematic than, um, you know, especially in a kind of sensitive

01:12:23.865 --> 01:12:25.758
- zone with a lot of trees and

01:12:26.722 --> 01:12:38.954
- you know, the fourth. That was my question. Thank you. All right, let's go ahead and with the petitioner,

01:12:38.954 --> 01:12:50.608
- petitioner's representative, 15 minutes. Please sign in and state your name. My name is Bill Rigger.

01:12:50.608 --> 01:12:54.878
- I'm with Wetzel Rigger Cooper James.

01:12:55.266 --> 01:13:07.183
- And with me tonight is Skip Pelton. Skip Pelton is a resident of Eagle Bay 1, and he also serves on

01:13:07.183 --> 01:13:19.338
- their HOA board. Essentially, I have nothing to add to Daniel's presentation, but I can try to answer

01:13:19.338 --> 01:13:23.390
- some questions that you've asked.

01:13:24.098 --> 01:13:31.395
- As far as electrical power goes, it's my understanding that Duke Energy provides power to the point.

01:13:31.395 --> 01:13:38.619
- And we would design it, and we haven't gone to design yet because we wanted to get permission to do

01:13:38.619 --> 01:13:45.844
- this first. The 12 by 26 units would be metered individually with Duke Energy type meters. The 8 by

01:13:45.844 --> 01:13:53.502
- 8 units would be metered in two clumps of seven. So you'd end up metering the smaller units collectively.

01:13:53.666 --> 01:14:01.407
- Smart meters? No, the standard Duke or RMC type meters you'd have at home. Right, so you're welcome.

01:14:01.407 --> 01:14:09.301
- And then as far as stormwater goes, I was the member that couldn't vote. But anyways, we would go back

01:14:09.301 --> 01:14:17.042
- to the drainage board, and they wanted to come back to see what we were going to propose once we had

01:14:17.042 --> 01:14:20.414
- the topographic information to design with.

01:14:20.546 --> 01:14:27.275
- And due to the proximity of the lake, we felt no detention was required because it goes into the storm

01:14:27.275 --> 01:14:34.069
- system and is right into the lake and regulated by the Corps of Engineers. However, stormwater quality,

01:14:34.069 --> 01:14:40.994
- we had proposed to do some rain garden-type treatment in the ditch line in front and then bring it around

01:14:40.994 --> 01:14:47.070
- the side of the building or through the rest of the drainage way that heads toward the east.

01:14:48.354 --> 01:14:57.834
- collection system through the boulevard and onto the lake. Let's see what other questions there may

01:14:57.834 --> 01:15:07.504
- have been. But I'm here to answer any questions. And then Skip can help me with any of the ideas that

01:15:07.504 --> 01:15:16.510
- the homeowners association has for this structure. So let's go ahead and go to public comment.

01:15:18.370 --> 01:15:26.433
- In the room or online? Go ahead and sign in. Virtual hand if you're online. And state your name if you

01:15:26.433 --> 01:15:34.573
- would please. You have three minutes. My name is Kevin Ault. I am a resident of Eagle Bay 1, where this

01:15:34.573 --> 01:15:43.105
- proposed development is being sought. I think a couple of things should be brought to the board's attention.

01:15:43.105 --> 01:15:48.350
- First, the area to where they want to convert the basketball court

01:15:48.578 --> 01:15:56.408
- and a tennis court into self storage is right next to a pool, to the community pool. Significant numbers

01:15:56.408 --> 01:16:04.090
- of people and children are at this pool during the summer. There's also a shared driveway with another

01:16:04.090 --> 01:16:11.771
- building that is right next to the pool. That is not owned by Eagle Bay One. It's a private individual

01:16:11.771 --> 01:16:17.886
- that typically often rents it out for Airbnb. So the traffic in this area already

01:16:18.178 --> 01:16:25.777
- Many times, it's hard to park during the summer. So I don't know, and I've not seen anything anywhere

01:16:25.777 --> 01:16:33.301
- where the effect of the increased traffic by a storage unit and garages has been even thought about.

01:16:33.301 --> 01:16:41.048
- Secondly, the topography of this area, where the pool, this basketball court, and the tennis court are,

01:16:41.048 --> 01:16:47.902
- sit at the top of the hill. The condominiums for Eagle Bay 1 are at the bottom of the hill.

01:16:48.866 --> 01:16:56.065
- So I find it very difficult to believe that people in Eagle Bay 1, I know I'm not, but I don't know

01:16:56.065 --> 01:17:03.479
- about the others, are going to purchase a garage to park our cars at the top of the hill and then walk

01:17:03.479 --> 01:17:11.182
- down the hill and back up the hill. It's a task to do it in the summer. In the winter, next to impossible.

01:17:11.182 --> 01:17:12.190
- So that fact,

01:17:13.506 --> 01:17:21.433
- that these are going to be garages for people to park their cars, their first car. If it's a secondary

01:17:21.433 --> 01:17:28.590
- car, then it's not that impetuous, it's not that imperative that you have a garage there. If

01:17:28.590 --> 01:17:36.593
- it's self-storage, then what alternatives are available for self-storage? Well, Eagle Bay, one, is part

01:17:36.593 --> 01:17:42.750
- of what's called the point, the PSA. The PSA owns the golf courts, they own the

01:17:43.202 --> 01:17:51.927
- the clubhouse and things like that. They also own 5.4 acres across Point Road that is currently being

01:17:51.927 --> 01:18:00.909
- used for boat storage. They have two buildings there. If this, as they have alluded to, first is offered

01:18:00.909 --> 01:18:09.891
- for Eagle Bay 1 residents, offered for Eagle Bay 2, and then anyone in the Point. So conceivably, anyone

01:18:09.891 --> 01:18:12.286
- in the Point could purchase

01:18:12.674 --> 01:18:20.540
- these units. A better use, a more effective use would be to look at the point, the 5.4 acres that's

01:18:20.540 --> 01:18:28.406
- currently already zoned that doesn't require traffic counts and would not require a new road or new

01:18:28.406 --> 01:18:36.272
- entrance into where the pool and the other individuals, the people who are coming and going are. So

01:18:36.272 --> 01:18:38.238
- the use of this property

01:18:38.690 --> 01:18:45.474
- Not to say it's in Indiana and tearing of a basketball court is somewhat sacrilegious, but be that as

01:18:45.474 --> 01:18:52.257
- it may. The better use for this, it's perfect for a community garden. It's fenced, it's next to where

01:18:52.257 --> 01:18:59.041
- the people live, galvanized steel tubs. Sorry to interrupt, but your three minutes are up. I'm sorry?

01:18:59.041 --> 01:19:05.758
- I can't hear you. You said, I'm sorry, but your three minutes are up. OK, thank you then. All right.

01:19:06.146 --> 01:19:14.925
- I also got this out of order. That was a negative comment, I assume. So do we have any positive comments

01:19:14.925 --> 01:19:23.704
- out there that either online or in the room? Looks like none. So I think that the petitioner can respond

01:19:23.704 --> 01:19:32.734
- now to those comments. You have five minutes. I don't see it. It disappeared again. It was Megan or Nellis.

01:19:33.730 --> 01:19:42.610
- And so I don't know. Megan, are you still going to raise your hand because you want to comment in favor

01:19:42.610 --> 01:19:51.149
- of something? I don't see any hand raised at all. All right, so five minutes from the petitioner to

01:19:51.149 --> 01:20:00.798
- respond to that negative comment. A response, I mean, you'd skip to help me here, but it's my understanding that

01:20:01.218 --> 01:20:08.349
- It's born by the interest of the homeowners association to have additional storage units for

01:20:08.349 --> 01:20:16.017
- their belongings, whatever they may be. And I wouldn't think it would add much more traffic if cars

01:20:16.017 --> 01:20:23.685
- are already down there just to come up and get their equipment or belongings. So I'm not quite sure

01:20:23.685 --> 01:20:28.286
- what the topography issue would be and in fact the traffic.

01:20:28.642 --> 01:20:36.176
- And I don't know about it turning into a community garden that would have to be up to the homeowners

01:20:36.176 --> 01:20:44.307
- Association. And then that is a private home. I guess that's rented out at times. There's a shared driveway.

01:20:44.307 --> 01:20:51.767
- The pool belongs to Eagle Bay one. So they still have access to the pool down that driveway because

01:20:51.767 --> 01:20:55.422
- they're evident. There's an easement for access.

01:20:55.842 --> 01:21:02.713
- So I don't know what the impact would be other than potentially, depending upon which way the sun goes,

01:21:02.713 --> 01:21:09.319
- casting some shadows perhaps on the pool deck. So that would be my response. I don't know, Skip, if

01:21:09.319 --> 01:21:14.142
- you have anything to add to that, but those are my thoughts in response.

01:21:18.498 --> 01:21:24.982
- and close out the public comments and come back to the planned commission. We'll go to the

01:21:24.982 --> 01:21:31.964
- right. Commissioner Thomas. I actually have a question for the representative from the homeowners

01:21:31.964 --> 01:21:39.231
- association, if you wouldn't mind coming up. I have a comment online. Why don't you go ahead and take

01:21:39.231 --> 01:21:46.428
- that. Yeah, Megan. Okay, go ahead. State your name. Good evening, members of the commission. My name

01:21:46.428 --> 01:21:47.710
- is Megan Ornelas.

01:21:48.066 --> 01:21:55.116
- and my husband and I own a unit in Eagle Bay 2, and I'm here to speak to our concerns regarding this

01:21:55.116 --> 01:22:02.236
- proposal. An easement agreement exists between Eagle Bay 1 and Eagle Bay 2. The proposed construction

01:22:02.236 --> 01:22:09.495
- would take place on property covered in this easement agreement. The easement agreement obligates Eagle

01:22:09.495 --> 01:22:15.358
- Bay 2 to pay a share of operating and maintenance costs for this recreational area.

01:22:16.482 --> 01:22:24.211
- Costs include electricity, repairs and maintenance, taxes and assessments, insurance, and other expenses

01:22:24.211 --> 01:22:31.719
- related to the shared property. In exchange for our share of the cost, Eagle Bay 2 is entitled to the

01:22:31.719 --> 01:22:38.270
- use of the easement and recreational area. Eagle Bay 2 has not seen any proposed changes

01:22:38.690 --> 01:22:45.471
- to the current easement agreement. This needs to be completed prior to the project moving forward to

01:22:45.471 --> 01:22:52.453
- clarify financial responsibility and the use of the proposed recreational area. As it stands now, Eagle

01:22:52.453 --> 01:22:59.704
- Bay 2 could be asked to pay operation and maintenance costs of this project but have no access or enjoyment

01:22:59.704 --> 01:23:03.934
- of the use of it, the garages and the units being constructed.

01:23:04.866 --> 01:23:11.370
- In addition, we could be asked to pay for unintended damages caused to this recreational area during

01:23:11.370 --> 01:23:18.003
- construction. Finally, the deeds for Eagle Bay 2 residents show a percentage ownership in the property

01:23:18.003 --> 01:23:24.894
- being discussed. So I believe a real estate attorney needs to weigh in on who actually owns this property.

01:23:25.666 --> 01:23:32.595
- Given these concerns, residents of Eagle Bay 2 cannot support this project until the agreement is modified

01:23:32.595 --> 01:23:39.201
- to ensure we are not financially supporting any costs. We would also like to have clear guidance from

01:23:39.201 --> 01:23:45.806
- a real estate attorney as to the ownership of the property. The documents I've mentioned tonight, our

01:23:45.806 --> 01:23:49.886
- HOA president is able to provide to the commission. Thank you.

01:23:52.226 --> 01:23:58.535
- All right, so it looks like we need to have the petitioner respond to that one as well. And either skip.

01:23:58.535 --> 01:24:04.543
- Is there anyone else? I saw a hand raised in the audience. Do we want to make sure there's no other

01:24:04.543 --> 01:24:10.672
- comments in the audience before the final rebuttal? Are there any other comments out in the audience?

01:24:10.672 --> 01:24:16.801
- We're going back and forth, back and forth evidently, so. All right, so skip or Bill, can you respond

01:24:16.801 --> 01:24:17.822
- to that, please?

01:24:19.970 --> 01:24:31.711
- I'd like to defer to Skip on that one, because I haven't researched these easements or deeds. These

01:24:31.711 --> 01:24:43.569
- are records, so. Yeah. Members, my name is Skip Helton. I'm on the board of ECO Bay one. Some of the

01:24:43.569 --> 01:24:46.622
- questions that were asked

01:24:46.722 --> 01:24:54.867
- It is my understanding, and Bill has, you guys have in front of you, the ownership of Eagle Bay 1, the

01:24:54.867 --> 01:25:03.249
- property lines of Eagle Bay 1. It is my understanding that all of that property that is shown is belonged

01:25:03.249 --> 01:25:10.366
- to by Eagle Bay 1. Eagle Bay 2 pays us for the use of our pool. They pay us a percentage.

01:25:10.786 --> 01:25:19.469
- maintenance fees on our pool and for maintenance fees on the basketball court and tennis courts. We

01:25:19.469 --> 01:25:28.587
- will when this if this project is built, we will. The project will have its own HOA just for the garages

01:25:28.587 --> 01:25:37.443
- itself, so it will not come into come into. Contact with the existing HOA of Eagle Bay 1 or Eagle Bay

01:25:37.443 --> 01:25:40.222
- 2. It'll be its own HOA itself.

01:25:43.682 --> 01:25:52.709
- Is that all the questions or is there something else? Yeah, OK, so. Just for clarity, the homeowners

01:25:52.709 --> 01:26:01.736
- Association that you belong to is only Eagle Bay one. Yes ma'am. Is so there's a separate homeowners

01:26:01.736 --> 01:26:10.762
- Association for Eagle Bay 2 and a separate homeowners Association for the point the Eagle Bay. Point

01:26:10.762 --> 01:26:13.086
- the point right? Yes, OK.

01:26:13.410 --> 01:26:20.486
- So the point is like the whole thing, and then we're little subdivisions put inside of the point. Right.

01:26:20.486 --> 01:26:27.562
- Eagle point. That was the third section. Correct. That's it. OK, thank you. Yeah, because I always refer

01:26:27.562 --> 01:26:34.503
- to this as the point. Correct. We're little subdivisions in the point. Right. So I'm concerned because

01:26:34.503 --> 01:26:41.310
- of what was expressed about this being in an easement that's supposed to be a shared easement, which

01:26:41.474 --> 01:26:50.241
- is not how you depict it, but it's how this commenter depicted it. And I'm concerned about that because

01:26:50.241 --> 01:26:59.514
- we don't want to get in the middle of anything you all are doing. So I would like to propose to my colleagues

01:26:59.514 --> 01:27:08.702
- here on this commission that we bring this back in March. But I would like some clarity on that question of,

01:27:09.506 --> 01:27:16.040
- who can actually make decisions about this property, whether it's as what you say versus there's some

01:27:16.040 --> 01:27:22.447
- sort of easement. You have the legal paperwork in front of you that shows what's owned by Eagle Bay

01:27:22.447 --> 01:27:29.429
- One though. That is all owned by Eagle Bay One, even the pool. But what is this easement that was mentioned?

01:27:29.429 --> 01:27:35.900
- The easement that they're talking about is a driveway that goes back to this, see where the house is

01:27:35.900 --> 01:27:38.142
- separated out separately in there?

01:27:38.306 --> 01:27:45.203
- The bigger unit, you see the orange, to the right of the orange, there's a separate parcel there, okay?

01:27:45.203 --> 01:27:51.967
- There's a, I'm gonna call it a huge duplex that they lease out. It's owned by a separate owner, okay?

01:27:51.967 --> 01:27:58.598
- There's a driveway that goes back there that is a shared easement for them to park at and for us to

01:27:58.598 --> 01:28:05.296
- park at for our pool. But get this straight, the entrance to this storage unit project is not coming

01:28:05.296 --> 01:28:06.622
- down that easement.

01:28:06.946 --> 01:28:14.897
- It is off of point and sell drive. It's not even going anybody that goes into the garage units will

01:28:14.897 --> 01:28:23.008
- not be going down that driveway. OK, but it's not a separate really. Yeah, it still isn't clear to me

01:28:23.008 --> 01:28:31.437
- based on what the public commenter offered. Because I don't know how they would be responsible for paying

01:28:31.437 --> 01:28:36.446
- maintenance on a shared drive. OK, they use they use Eagle Bay

01:28:37.154 --> 01:28:45.988
- uses our pool, okay? Eagle Bay is one pool, okay? So there's a driveway to get to that pool. So we split

01:28:45.988 --> 01:28:54.654
- the maintenance fees up. I can't remember the percentages. Let's say Eagle Bay one, just for instance,

01:28:54.654 --> 01:29:03.068
- pays 60% into a pool every quarter, and Eagle Bay two pays 40% into a pool every quarter. It stores

01:29:03.068 --> 01:29:06.686
- up money for maintenance for the pool area

01:29:06.818 --> 01:29:14.210
- and for the basketball and tennis court area. Okay, so that might be why there's a sense of shared ownership

01:29:14.210 --> 01:29:21.060
- or at least shared decision-making power in this property because it does include not just the pool,

01:29:21.060 --> 01:29:27.977
- but the tennis court and basketball court. But not on ownership though. Right, it's a shared easement

01:29:27.977 --> 01:29:35.166
- with some sort of a financial obligation relating to maintenance. Correct, and if these garages are done,

01:29:35.874 --> 01:29:42.447
- It's going to have its own HOA, so it will it will. It will reduce yeah. Um, Eagle Bay's two twos payout

01:29:42.447 --> 01:29:48.707
- and Eagle Bay ones payout. It'll take that section off, right? There'll be no more money put in for

01:29:48.707 --> 01:29:55.468
- the tennis court or basketball court, right? The people that will own the garages and in storage facilities

01:29:55.468 --> 01:30:00.414
- now will have their own HOA that they will pay into. OK, one of the questions.

01:30:00.706 --> 01:30:07.151
- that was posed, and I don't know if I posed or someone else did, but it's a good question. So someone

01:30:07.151 --> 01:30:13.786
- else probably posed it at the admin meeting was, will the units be sublet? And what we got for an answer

01:30:13.786 --> 01:30:20.358
- was the order of preference for who gets access. It was brought up at the beginning, and this gentleman

01:30:20.358 --> 01:30:26.929
- brought it up over here. Our first thought was we were going to sell and lease out, and we have decided

01:30:26.929 --> 01:30:28.446
- we are not leasing out.

01:30:28.930 --> 01:30:35.421
- They will be when they're brought up for sale, they will be sold first of all to Eagle Bay one owners.

01:30:35.421 --> 01:30:41.850
- Any remaining ones will be sold to Eagle Bay two owners. Any remaining ones from that will be sold to

01:30:41.850 --> 01:30:48.467
- anybody in the point. OK, so that doesn't answer the question of sublet, because if I purchase a storage

01:30:48.467 --> 01:30:54.959
- area, you can you can do what you want. That's the concern. Yes, right. Well, and we will have our HOA

01:30:54.959 --> 01:30:58.110
- will make up rules. We'll have our own HOA rules.

01:30:58.242 --> 01:31:06.236
- when those are made up for that HOA, that's taken out of there. No sublet in. Okay. And I think that

01:31:06.236 --> 01:31:14.310
- fits into one of my other concerns, which is what are the rules for what you can store there? If this

01:31:14.310 --> 01:31:22.304
- were somewhere else, I would be so much less concerned, but it is at the top of the hill that drains

01:31:22.304 --> 01:31:26.974
- into the lake. And we have to be so careful. I'm concerned

01:31:27.202 --> 01:31:35.487
- not just about noxious combustible materials. I'm concerned about storing a couple of jet skis that

01:31:35.487 --> 01:31:43.938
- leak. And where does that going to go? And so my concerns are first regarding the easement issue. And

01:31:43.938 --> 01:31:52.305
- I would just, it would be great to have some clarity on that. The second relates to subletting. What

01:31:52.305 --> 01:31:56.862
- are the rules? And the third relates also to the rules

01:31:57.026 --> 01:32:07.129
- What can you actually store in there? Because this is a compact area where we could ostensibly have

01:32:07.129 --> 01:32:17.738
- gasoline, oil, coolant, all kinds of things that end up in the lake because it's aggregated in one spot.

01:32:17.738 --> 01:32:25.214
- And again, if this weren't at the lake, it probably wouldn't matter much.

01:32:25.346 --> 01:32:33.247
- Although we do need to still talk about our rules regarding RV storage and motorcycle storage and auto

01:32:33.247 --> 01:32:41.071
- storage. But it's just the proximity to the lake that's concerning. Anything in the point is they all

01:32:41.071 --> 01:32:49.278
- drain into the lake. Oh, absolutely. Oh, we're well aware. We're well aware. So I think I would personally

01:32:49.410 --> 01:32:56.897
- rather see some of the rules and guidelines and subletting and all of that. And I would like to see

01:32:56.897 --> 01:33:03.861
- some clarification on the easement before I'm comfortable on voting on this particular item.

01:33:03.861 --> 01:33:11.498
- That's me. My colleagues may differ. Thank you. I appreciate your information. All righty. Do we have

01:33:11.498 --> 01:33:14.942
- any other comments? Yes. Mr. Bush. Mr. Chair.

01:33:16.802 --> 01:33:24.670
- unfamiliar with the residences at the point. The only place I've been allowed on is at the golf course,

01:33:24.670 --> 01:33:32.461
- so I've not driven through, so okay. I thought you weren't allowed there anymore. Ever since that last

01:33:32.461 --> 01:33:40.480
- time I hit the guy. No, seriously, Mr. Bishop brought up a really good point, I believe, regarding things

01:33:40.480 --> 01:33:44.414
- that are being stored. Is there any, will you have,

01:33:44.610 --> 01:33:53.445
- limits in place as to... If I were a resident and I were a painter, and I needed a place to store all

01:33:53.445 --> 01:34:02.193
- my paints and thinners and all my equipment, would that be an allowable use in this storage area, or

01:34:02.193 --> 01:34:10.941
- is that something that you would restrict? We could restrict all combustibles. No combustibles being

01:34:10.941 --> 01:34:13.886
- stored. Which is curious as to...

01:34:13.986 --> 01:34:20.773
- I could see this boat storage or just a storage or I don't know somebody's. Our storage on these areas

01:34:20.773 --> 01:34:27.494
- are very limited. I mean, we have closets that we have. We can't put anything in, you know, it's with

01:34:27.494 --> 01:34:34.148
- no garage space. I mean, I'm going to retire one day and I would like to move down to the lake. This

01:34:34.148 --> 01:34:40.738
- is not my permanent residence, but I like to move down there. But I'm a, I've been a contractor for

01:34:40.738 --> 01:34:42.846
- 40 some years. I need my tools.

01:34:43.138 --> 01:34:52.615
- You know, I just just sure that's why I'm thinking of this project. Well, that question being answered,

01:34:52.615 --> 01:35:01.819
- I think I would also like to see maybe a little more clarity as to what the intended uses are versus

01:35:01.819 --> 01:35:10.750
- what you would restrict. OK, thank you. Alright, to properly close out all of the public comment.

01:35:12.002 --> 01:35:19.254
- I'd like to make sure that we have addressed all those folks who are in. We have somebody in the back.

01:35:19.254 --> 01:35:26.576
- If I assume you're in favor, you're against. OK, well, you have three minutes. Please sign in and state

01:35:26.576 --> 01:35:33.898
- your name. Yeah, I'm Pam Rogers, the president of Eagle Bay to. I want to pass out. This is mainly what

01:35:33.898 --> 01:35:39.038
- I'm up here for. I'm going to pass out a copy of the easement agreement.

01:35:39.330 --> 01:35:49.558
- between our villages. It's dated in 1996. It's really old. We weren't even built yet, but it does explain

01:35:49.558 --> 01:35:59.594
- expansion of the area and our privilege to use the pool in the tennis court areas. Make sure staff gets

01:35:59.594 --> 01:36:03.550
- one of these so that it can be included.

01:36:05.858 --> 01:36:14.524
- I also wanna mention today, I spent a little time in the deed office and the accessor's office. I pulled

01:36:14.524 --> 01:36:22.942
- my deed, my personal deed, and it actually shows that I have some type of ownership to this parcel of

01:36:22.942 --> 01:36:31.360
- property. They couldn't really explain it, but every homeowner for Eagle Bay 2 is tied to this parcel

01:36:31.360 --> 01:36:35.486
- of property. That's really. Thank you. Thank you.

01:36:36.290 --> 01:36:43.468
- I guess we need to give you five minutes to rebut if you'd like. So either you or Bill or Skip, if you'd

01:36:43.468 --> 01:36:50.440
- like to respond. I think I understand that there's a couple of questions here and I think that I will

01:36:50.440 --> 01:36:57.344
- let's take it under advisement. We will go ahead and take a look at these couple of items that we're

01:36:57.344 --> 01:37:04.180
- talking about concerning ownership and what could be stored in here. I think those are the two main

01:37:04.180 --> 01:37:05.342
- things, correct?

01:37:07.362 --> 01:37:18.603
- Ownership of the existing property and then what can and cannot be stored in these storage facilities.

01:37:18.603 --> 01:37:29.626
- Letting OK. Which is part of the rules. Yes, thank you. OK. The other you have anything else to add.

01:37:29.626 --> 01:37:34.974
- We're done unless you got something else to add.

01:37:35.490 --> 01:37:41.725
- OK, is there any other public public comment for against or otherwise? Alright, let's close out the

01:37:41.725 --> 01:37:48.146
- public comment now and now let's go to the Planning Commission for their comments. Anybody on my left?

01:37:48.146 --> 01:37:54.443
- Yes, Sir. Well, you know one of. Mr. Rigerts points about discharge. You know, yeah, we're gonna get

01:37:54.443 --> 01:38:00.678
- rid of that stormwater goes right in the lake. If we have a fire out there in those storage lockers

01:38:00.678 --> 01:38:04.606
- and I don't believe there's any way that anybody is ever going

01:38:04.770 --> 01:38:11.989
- effectively regulate what people put in those storage lockers over time. You get a fire out there, and

01:38:11.989 --> 01:38:19.349
- you start dumping fluid on water on this thing, and that's going right in our water supply. That's where

01:38:19.349 --> 01:38:26.498
- Monroe County, at least, where I get my drinking water. And I don't see that this thing seems to make

01:38:26.498 --> 01:38:33.086
- a ton of sense to me in the fact that whatever is there, if there's a fire, and you've got 20

01:38:33.922 --> 01:38:42.972
- however many units of storage with electricity on board, the chances for a fire are pretty significant.

01:38:42.972 --> 01:38:51.761
- And I just think that it would be a real terrible situation for the fire department to start dumping

01:38:51.761 --> 01:39:00.550
- fluid on a fire that's running right straight in Lake Monroe. That's my point. Thank you. Anybody on

01:39:00.550 --> 01:39:03.422
- the right? Go ahead, Mr. Bishop.

01:39:03.906 --> 01:39:11.878
- What is the proximity of the proposed development to any sort of fire suppression equipment such as

01:39:11.878 --> 01:39:19.930
- a hydrant? Okay, and so if one of these other houses caught fire right next to the lake and they had

01:39:19.930 --> 01:39:27.981
- to spray it down with water and everything, all of the contents and whatnot would be washed into the

01:39:27.981 --> 01:39:32.286
- lake as well, right? So is it safe to assume that the

01:39:32.898 --> 01:39:40.213
- the same level of concern would be surrounding any of these houses burning down as would one of these

01:39:40.213 --> 01:39:47.814
- facilities, because right now, ostensibly, you're securing all of this hazardous materials in your homes.

01:39:47.814 --> 01:39:55.272
- Yes, anything around in the point, if you wash it down, it's going to end up in the lake, yes. So we're

01:39:55.272 --> 01:40:01.726
- not creating anything new, we're just moving it to where it's not in your homes directly.

01:40:01.890 --> 01:40:08.402
- Correct. Okay. As far as storage facilities go, everything around the lake is proximal to the water

01:40:08.402 --> 01:40:14.979
- itself by nature because it's on the lake and people do boating and water activities. So the current

01:40:14.979 --> 01:40:21.816
- storage facilities, are there similar concerns about environmental issues regarding the storage of boats

01:40:21.816 --> 01:40:28.393
- and whatnot? There's other garages and storage facilities in Eagle Point, okay. I've never heard any

01:40:28.393 --> 01:40:31.454
- concerns before. Nobody's brought it up to me.

01:40:31.874 --> 01:40:38.760
- It wouldn't have to be specific to your development either. It would be just in the general facility

01:40:38.760 --> 01:40:45.714
- around the lake where there are storage for boats, jet skis, and things like that. Are there outsized

01:40:45.714 --> 01:40:52.668
- environmental concerns applied to them that are also being applied to you? If I'm asking the question

01:40:52.668 --> 01:40:54.782
- correctly, not that I know of.

01:40:55.458 --> 01:41:01.557
- Okay, it seems very similar that you're wanting to store the same type of stuff that's being stored

01:41:01.557 --> 01:41:07.777
- out in the open, maybe covered by a tarp next to the lake already, and you're wanting to put it under

01:41:07.777 --> 01:41:09.790
- roof. Yes, yes. Okay, thank you.

01:41:13.218 --> 01:41:19.327
- Henry. Thank you. Mr. Bishop had a lot of what I was going to ask there. I know that this agreement

01:41:19.327 --> 01:41:25.985
- was just put before us, but I think this might be a question you can answer. So in this escrow, it mentions,

01:41:25.985 --> 01:41:32.400
- owns a swimming pool and tennis court recreational facility. You have a basketball court as well, right?

01:41:32.400 --> 01:41:38.753
- Where the tennis court is at, there's a basketball court connected with it. It's all in one big Finston

01:41:38.753 --> 01:41:39.486
- area. Yeah.

01:41:39.618 --> 01:41:44.616
- that was presented to us just moments ago. It doesn't mention a basketball court. So in the evolution

01:41:44.616 --> 01:41:49.909
- of the recreational space, was there ever a discussion between the two HOAs about the development inclusion

01:41:49.909 --> 01:41:55.005
- of modification to put a basketball court with the tennis court? Or was that from the- Basketball court

01:41:55.005 --> 01:42:00.052
- is in with the tennis court right now. Were they designed, was that a modification or were they ported

01:42:00.052 --> 01:42:05.002
- or created the same way? I've been down there for 18 years and it's been like that. That's fair. The

01:42:05.002 --> 01:42:09.118
- reason why I'm asking is if there was a modification to the property at some point,

01:42:09.314 --> 01:42:15.844
- between the signing of this agreement and where we are now. I was just trying to figure out how you

01:42:15.844 --> 01:42:22.439
- would have navigated that process before with the shared asset. I've only been there for 18 years. I

01:42:22.439 --> 01:42:29.295
- don't know what happened prior to. That's it. Thank you. All right. Anybody else on the right over here?

01:42:29.295 --> 01:42:36.216
- All right. Before we go to a motion, Jack, I think it'd be very helpful. There's a laundry list of things

01:42:36.216 --> 01:42:38.110
- we'd like to get answers to.

01:42:38.818 --> 01:42:50.977
- Can we get agreement on what that laundry list is? Yes. It sounds like number one concern is that ownership

01:42:50.977 --> 01:42:56.606
- of the area to be asked for garages to be placed.

01:42:56.770 --> 01:43:04.087
- items entered into the record regarding easements and contribution of HOA funds by Eagle Bay one and

01:43:04.087 --> 01:43:11.693
- Eagle Bay two for this area. So I think we're looking to provide a copy of this introduction of evidence

01:43:11.693 --> 01:43:17.054
- to the petitioner and their representative and have them respond and also

01:43:17.858 --> 01:43:25.602
- You know, I don't know if they want to provide us with edits to how they will amend this easement agreement

01:43:25.602 --> 01:43:33.345
- and share it with Eagle Bay counterpart to see if that's amenable to them or if that assizes their concern.

01:43:33.345 --> 01:43:40.874
- And then there was concern about what will be stored in the garages and also if the units will be sublet

01:43:40.874 --> 01:43:43.742
- upon purchase by somebody in the point.

01:43:46.466 --> 01:44:03.358
- We don't technically have to make a motion, but just for clarity, I'd like to make a no motion.

01:44:03.874 --> 01:44:12.390
- on PUO-25-4, meaning that it's going to come back to our March 17th meeting of the plan commission.

01:44:12.390 --> 01:44:20.991
- And this pertains to the point PUD outline plan for Eagle Bay garages. Does everyone agree with that

01:44:20.991 --> 01:44:29.592
- or does somebody want to make another kind of motion? Go ahead and second it. I'll second. It's been

01:44:29.592 --> 01:44:31.806
- moved and seconded to not

01:44:31.938 --> 01:44:40.844
- grant a waiver of final hearing for PUO-25-4 to give the petitioner and their representative time to

01:44:40.844 --> 01:44:50.015
- come back to the plan commission with answers to the questions mentioned by staff. A vote yes is a vote

01:44:50.015 --> 01:44:59.098
- to send this to the March 17th, 2026 plan commission. Jeff Morris? Yes. Julie Thomas? Yes. David Bush?

01:44:59.098 --> 01:45:01.214
- Yes. Margaret Clements?

01:45:01.506 --> 01:45:09.999
- Scott Ferris. Yes. Rudy Fields. Yes. David Henry. Yes. Okay. Motion carries seven to zero. All right.

01:45:09.999 --> 01:45:18.575
- Now we move to public comments for items not on the agenda. Okay. Is there anybody online or in person

01:45:18.575 --> 01:45:26.901
- here who would like to take and comment? You have up to three minutes. I don't see any hands on the

01:45:26.901 --> 01:45:30.814
- screen and I don't see anybody coming forward.

01:45:32.194 --> 01:45:39.550
- So that moves us to staff reports. And so we have planning and attorney. So Jackie. I just have one

01:45:39.550 --> 01:45:47.126
- announcement, which is the, we had discussed at our administrative meeting, the county maintained road

01:45:47.126 --> 01:45:54.555
- inventory map. We have gotten that to be published. We made some edits based on your comments, added

01:45:54.555 --> 01:46:00.734
- state roads. So we're hoping to put that on the website in an easily viewable spot.

01:46:00.834 --> 01:46:07.357
- so that if another snowstorm occurs, we can point people if offices are closed to do some individual

01:46:07.357 --> 01:46:14.202
- research and then have a bit more information about before they even purchase a property, whether they're

01:46:14.202 --> 01:46:18.142
- on a county maintained road. So that is enough. Mr. Shaleen.

01:46:19.138 --> 01:46:26.246
- Oh, and I also have one other. OK, I'm sorry. Which is we have a new planner with us, Ray Brown. He

01:46:26.246 --> 01:46:33.497
- started with us on Monday. Ray is joining from Louisville, Kentucky. So he's worked for two different

01:46:33.497 --> 01:46:40.960
- jurisdictions in southern Indiana as a planner. So we're very lucky to have somebody that already speaks

01:46:40.960 --> 01:46:46.078
- the language. And he's doing great his first week. Welcome to the game.

01:46:47.682 --> 01:47:04.862
- Okay, now Mr. Schilling. Report. Motion to adjourn. Thank you all.
