So we're ready to go. 00:00:56.642 --> 00:01:03.469 - All right, let's go ahead and proceed with the introduction of evidence, please. I'd like to introduce 00:01:03.469 --> 00:01:10.296 - the following items into the evidence. The Monroe County Development Ordinance as adopted and amended. 00:01:10.296 --> 00:01:16.990 - The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan as adopted and amended.

Do I have a motion to approve? So moved. Second. All right, 00:02:32.990 --> 00:02:42.438 - motion and a second to approve the minutes from May 7th, 2026, which is normally an administrative meeting, 00:02:42.438 --> 00:02:51.799 - but we bumped it up to a regular meeting that session. All right, go ahead and call the roll. Rudy Fields? 00:02:51.799 --> 00:02:53.374 - Yes. David Henry? 00:02:53.474 --> 00:03:01.320 - Jeffer Morris? Yes. Julie Thomas? Yes. Scott Ferris? Yes. Margaret Clements? Yes. And David Bush? Yes. 00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:09.089 - 7-0. Motion carries. I see there is no administrative business and there's no unfinished business, so 00:03:09.089 --> 00:03:16.706 - we'll move directly to new business. First up is PUD 26-3, which is the Earth Health Inc. Secondary 00:03:16.706 --> 00:03:21.886 - Review Plan Amendment 1. And I believe that's you, Drew. Thank you. 00:03:22.242 --> 00:03:29.653 - This is located at 3050 North Lentil Drive. It is part of the North Park PUD and we're in Richland Township 00:03:29.653 --> 00:03:36.720 - and Bloomington Township. That's section 24 of Richland Township and sections 19 and 30 of Bloomington 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:42.964 - Township. The subject property is listed as lot number five of the North Park Office State 00:03:42.964 --> 00:03:50.718 - Road 46 subdivision final plat, which is part of the development tract B-2 parcel 2A of the North Park PUD area. 00:03:51.554 --> 00:03:57.823 - This is a secondary review plan amendment, also known as a development plan amendment. Typically, we 00:03:57.823 --> 00:04:04.216 - do not see these come to the plan commission, but as part of the North Park PUD ordinance, development 00:04:04.216 --> 00:04:10.672 - plans or also known as secondary review plans must come to the plan commission for final approval. This 00:04:10.672 --> 00:04:17.437 - petition site contains the Bloomington Regional Rehabilitation Hospital and is located in Richland Township, 00:04:17.437 --> 00:04:21.534 - section 24, Bloomington Township, section 19 and 30, as I stated. 00:04:22.210 --> 00:04:28.810 - The petition site contains a total of 6.69 acres, and again, is part of the North Park Planned Unit 00:04:28.810 --> 00:04:35.409 - Development, or P&G. The petition site is owned by GLC Bloomington Health LLC, and it's represented 00:04:35.409 --> 00:04:42.141 - by Daniel Butler of Bynum-Fanio and Associates. The request is for a secondary review plan amendment, 00:04:42.141 --> 00:04:49.070 - and that purpose is the construction of a 12-bedroom addition to the Bloomington Regional Rehabilitation 00:04:49.070 --> 00:04:50.654 - Hospital. The expansion 00:04:50.818 --> 00:04:57.834 - It will total 5,021 square feet and involve a disturbance of approximately 0.51 acres. Proposed project 00:04:57.834 --> 00:05:04.714 - will involve the relocation of stormwater infrastructure, sidewalks, river rock, mo strips, and other 00:05:04.714 --> 00:05:11.460 - associated landscaping. The project does not propose any changes to the existing parking lot on the 00:05:11.460 --> 00:05:18.206 - petition site. As I stated before, this is before you because the North Park PUD district ordinance 00:05:18.306 --> 00:05:25.006 - which was amended on May 29th, 2025 by the Monroe County Board of Commissioners requires that development 00:05:25.006 --> 00:05:31.769 - plans receive plan commission approval. Bit of background here. The original development plan was approved 00:05:31.769 --> 00:05:38.596 - by the planning department on November 6th, 2020 for a 45,965 square foot rehabilitation hospital, parking, 00:05:38.596 --> 00:05:45.296 - landscaping, and bioretention areas. An improvement location permit was issued by the planning department 00:05:45.296 --> 00:05:46.750 - on November 9th, 2020. 00:05:46.882 --> 00:05:54.101 - and a final land use certificate was issued on May 23rd, 2022. The North Park PUD district ordinance, 00:05:54.101 --> 00:06:01.249 - also known as an outline plan, was amended on May 29th, 2025, as I stated previously. That was under 00:06:01.249 --> 00:06:08.397 - Ordinance 2025-13. There's more history about the North Park PUD ordinance in the packet. I will not 00:06:08.397 --> 00:06:15.262 - belabor you all with its long history of over 22 years ago when it was first originally created. 00:06:17.186 --> 00:06:23.325 - But we do have parts of the PUD chapter in the ordinance, the County Development Ordinance that requires 00:06:23.325 --> 00:06:29.346 - secondary review requirements, and the petitioner has followed along with those requirements, and they 00:06:29.346 --> 00:06:32.094 - are before you this evening with this request. 00:06:34.850 --> 00:06:39.752 - According to section two of the North Park PUD's ordinance, all development plans shall be reviewed 00:06:39.752 --> 00:06:44.898 - and approved by the Monroe County Planning Commission, unless otherwise stated by motion of the Planning 00:06:44.898 --> 00:06:49.947 - Commission. That's why we're here. This petition site is located in the regional services sub-district 00:06:49.947 --> 00:06:54.995 - designation of the PUD district, which is defined as a campus-style medical office, commercial office, 00:06:54.995 --> 00:07:00.044 - regionally-scaled retail centers, out-lot, and convenience uses. There are figures in the staff report 00:07:00.044 --> 00:07:03.230 - that I'll get to in a minute that will show these areas as well. 00:07:06.050 --> 00:07:12.409 - After planning staff's review of the site and the petition, the minimum site standards for the regional 00:07:12.409 --> 00:07:18.523 - services sub-district found in design criteria of the North Park PUD ordinance, and staff found the 00:07:18.523 --> 00:07:25.004 - petition site is currently in compliance with the minimum site standards that includes minimum lot width, 00:07:25.004 --> 00:07:31.302 - setbacks, maximum height, and maximum impervious cover. Again, the proposed 5,021 square foot addition 00:07:31.302 --> 00:07:35.582 - will not cause any compliance issues with meeting the site standards. 00:07:37.058 --> 00:07:43.037 - Here we have the location map. You can see the delineation of Richland Township and Bloomington Township 00:07:43.037 --> 00:07:48.730 - here, as well as the multiple different sections that this property is located in. On the right, we 00:07:48.730 --> 00:07:54.595 - have the site conditions map showing the layout of the existing structure, parking lot, and hardscape. 00:07:54.595 --> 00:08:00.289 - You'll note that the red areas are supposed to be slopes greater than 25%, and I believe that it is 00:08:00.289 --> 00:08:04.958 - showing red. It's still here as a remnant of the original topography of the site. 00:08:05.090 --> 00:08:12.616 - hospital surely does not right down the middle drop a 25% grade. Next on the screen, we have the figure 00:08:12.616 --> 00:08:20.431 - from the North Park ordinance that details the different sub-districts. Again, the petition site delineated 00:08:20.431 --> 00:08:27.740 - by a yellow star here is located in the regional services sub-district. On the right, we have design 00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:34.398 - criteria. This is the minimum site standards that I referenced earlier that staff reviewed. 00:08:34.498 --> 00:08:41.789 - with respect to the petition and was able to confirm that all of them are being met with respect to 00:08:41.789 --> 00:08:49.152 - the request. Now on the screen, we have a highlighted section of the actual development plan itself. 00:08:49.152 --> 00:08:56.953 - What you see before you is the landscaping page, and it is showing a highlight of areas that are receiving 00:08:56.953 --> 00:09:03.806 - new plantings or changes. And you'll see in this section here on the left where my cursor is, 00:09:03.970 --> 00:09:10.846 - There is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight trees that are proposed to be planted here in 00:09:10.846 --> 00:09:17.116 - between the new addition and the existing structure. And then on the right, we have a few of 00:09:17.116 --> 00:09:23.992 - those highlighted in green. That highlight was made by the stormwater program manager after review of 00:09:23.992 --> 00:09:30.936 - the site, indicating that she wishes or requests that these trees highlighted in green be removed from 00:09:30.936 --> 00:09:32.958 - this area due to the existing 00:09:33.538 --> 00:09:40.786 - established or proposed stormwater infrastructure there as part of the addition or the existing. So 00:09:40.786 --> 00:09:47.599 - having too many trees in this area is a concern for the stormwater program given the presence 00:09:47.599 --> 00:09:55.136 - of infrastructure there. Now on the screen we have the existing site showing the layout of the regional 00:09:55.136 --> 00:10:00.862 - hospital as well as all the parking and other hardscape and easements as well. 00:10:02.498 --> 00:10:10.566 - And then now on the screen we see the grayed out version of the addition, the 12 bedroom, 5,021 square 00:10:10.566 --> 00:10:18.477 - foot addition here. This picture is just a bit more zoomed in of that same page from the development 00:10:18.477 --> 00:10:26.780 - plan. And here we have some construction schematics detailing the layout of the bedrooms and the addition 00:10:26.780 --> 00:10:28.190 - for the hospital. 00:10:29.858 --> 00:10:36.333 - Then finally, we have some renderings of what it will look like when it's completed. This is all included 00:10:36.333 --> 00:10:41.891 - in the packet and is part of the development plan submittals. All right, that brings me to 00:10:41.891 --> 00:10:47.999 - staff's recommendation. Staff recommends approving this secondary review plan amendment, also known 00:10:47.999 --> 00:10:54.657 - as a development plan amendment, subject to the highway department and stormwater reports with the following 00:10:54.657 --> 00:10:55.390 - conditions. 00:10:55.682 --> 00:11:02.265 - One, relocate the four trees identified in figure five by the stormwater program to another suitable 00:11:02.265 --> 00:11:08.978 - location on the petition site. I will now take any questions. Before we do that, please take note that 00:11:08.978 --> 00:11:16.017 - Mr. Enright Randolph has joined. Yes, got that. Thank you. Sorry about my talk. So we can open up questions 00:11:16.017 --> 00:11:18.494 - from the plant commission on my left. 00:11:23.618 --> 00:11:34.350 - Let's go ahead and move to the petitioner, petitioner's rep. And I assume that's you, Mr. Butler. Yes. 00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:45.498 - So state your name. Yes, sir. Daniel Butler, Bynum Family and Associates, registered professional engineer 00:11:45.498 --> 00:11:52.062 - here in the state of Indiana. Online with me tonight, Abigail. 00:11:52.194 --> 00:11:59.930 - that's representing ownership, and then also Tyler, who's representing the architectural team. So if 00:11:59.930 --> 00:12:07.742 - you have any questions about any of those items, I'll try to answer everything myself, but if there's 00:12:07.742 --> 00:12:15.555 - anything, they'll be able to answer tonight too. I won't add too much more to the presentation. I was 00:12:15.555 --> 00:12:22.142 - the original engineer on this project, and they're doing a great job, a lot of useful 00:12:22.690 --> 00:12:30.734 - need for this this type of use in this area and People coming from from all over in need of this facility 00:12:30.734 --> 00:12:38.323 - I got to hurt myself the other day. They're doing a great job great team and They need to expand so 00:12:38.323 --> 00:12:44.318 - 12 more beds to fulfill fill their need. We're not asking for more parking and 00:12:44.546 --> 00:12:50.783 - We're not going outside the construction limits of the original zone. There's a new geotechnical report 00:12:50.783 --> 00:12:56.961 - that is part of this petition to just make sure that we're checking the site for, this was an original 00:12:56.961 --> 00:13:02.958 - fill site, if everyone remembers. So making sure that everything's settling correctly, the building 00:13:02.958 --> 00:13:08.955 - is in good shape before the new addition goes on. There's also a new environmental assessment phase 00:13:08.955 --> 00:13:12.254 - one that has been done with this new addition as well. 00:13:13.058 --> 00:13:22.646 - I don't know if there's anything else that I'll add at this time, but we'll be ready for questions. 00:13:22.646 --> 00:13:32.522 - Hey, questions on my right. Questions on my left. Thank you. Public comment. Anybody for either online 00:13:32.522 --> 00:13:42.206 - or in the room? Comment. Anybody against online or in the room? All right, so that brings it back to 00:13:42.914 --> 00:13:52.913 - us. One thing I want to remind folks is that this is for our body to approve. They're also requesting 00:13:52.913 --> 00:14:02.911 - a waiver for the final hearing. So we're ready for a motion if somebody wants to. I'm fine with doing 00:14:02.911 --> 00:14:12.126 - a motion. I'm, it doesn't recommend but I move to approve the secondary review plan amendment 00:14:12.226 --> 00:14:21.556 - aka development plan amendment subject to the highway department stormwater reports with the fall. Relocate 00:14:21.556 --> 00:14:30.454 - the four trees identified in figure five by the stormwater program to another suitable location on the 00:14:30.454 --> 00:14:39.870 - petition site and the waiver of the second hearing. All right, there's been a motion and a second to approve 00:14:40.418 --> 00:14:50.521 - PUD-26-3, which is an addition to an existing structure. I'll go ahead and call the roll. Oh, and that 00:14:50.521 --> 00:15:00.331 - also include a waiver of final hearing. Yeah. All right. David Bush? Yes. Sorry. Margaret Clements? 00:15:00.331 --> 00:15:10.238 - Yes. Tron Enright-Randolph? Yes. Scott Farris? Yes. Rudy Fields? Yes. David Henry? Yes. Jeff Morris? 00:15:10.434 --> 00:15:20.948 - And Julie Thomas. Yes. Motion carries eight to zero. All right, so that brings us up to our second item, 00:15:20.948 --> 00:15:31.461 - which is our easy 26 one, which is the 3695 West State Road 45 reason from a limited business to general 00:15:31.461 --> 00:15:38.270 - business. Good evening. We want you to go ahead and introduce this. 00:15:39.874 --> 00:15:46.957 - Good evening. Um, introduce myself or introduce the application. I guess I haven't introduced myself 00:15:46.957 --> 00:15:54.180 - yet. My name is Ray Tobiah. I'm from Louisville. Um, and this is my first planning commission meeting. 00:15:54.180 --> 00:16:01.192 - Um, happy to be here. Um, I'm just going to go get right into it. So as was previously stated, this 00:16:01.192 --> 00:16:08.766 - is for the location 3695 West state road 45. It's a 0.78 parcel, um, in section 12 of Van Buren Township at 00:16:09.090 --> 00:16:15.905 - the location which was stated before, 3695 West State Road 45, and it is currently zoned limited business. 00:16:15.905 --> 00:16:22.784 - Okay, the request to rezone the site from limited business to general business to allow for the development 00:16:22.784 --> 00:16:29.280 - of a fast casual restaurant with the necessary drive-through use. So the petitioner is pursuing a use 00:16:29.280 --> 00:16:35.649 - that is not permitted in the current zoning district. Thus, that is why he is, or the petitioner is 00:16:35.649 --> 00:16:36.350 - having it, 00:16:36.610 --> 00:16:43.068 - requesting to have it rezoned to general business, which permits that use. The property was previously 00:16:43.068 --> 00:16:49.840 - used for retail purposes. The name of the business was mobile home hardware, but this business is currently 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:56.298 - being relocated. If approved for the rezone, the petitioner still will have to apply for a conditional 00:16:56.298 --> 00:17:02.693 - use for the drive-through as a necessary component, then apply for a site plan, which will have to be 00:17:02.693 --> 00:17:06.142 - certified by license surveyor and or engineer and any, 00:17:06.914 --> 00:17:13.775 - other necessary applicable variances, grading permits, et cetera. Rezoning from limited business to 00:17:13.775 --> 00:17:20.773 - general business will increase the total number of permitted uses from 60 to 85. That was included in 00:17:20.773 --> 00:17:27.840 - the packet, the total number of uses that are permitted either by right or with a conditional use. And 00:17:27.840 --> 00:17:33.054 - the petitioner has indicated that the existing building will be demolished. 00:17:34.818 --> 00:17:41.894 - So zoning for the adjoining properties to the east, north and south, and you'll see in the next slide, 00:17:41.894 --> 00:17:48.902 - our general business and directly to the west. The zoning is mixed use medium scale zone, but that is 00:17:48.902 --> 00:17:56.321 - under the purview of the city of Bloomington. Land uses in the surrounding area are commercial, residential 00:17:56.321 --> 00:18:03.260 - or vacant. And West State Road 45 is an Indiana Department of Transportation maintained roadway. The 00:18:03.260 --> 00:18:04.222 - applicant has 00:18:04.578 --> 00:18:10.567 - the petitioner has indicated that the rezoning will have to be approved prior to NDOT proceeding with 00:18:10.567 --> 00:18:16.497 - review of the commercial driveway. There are two bus stops that I noted during my site visit located 00:18:16.497 --> 00:18:22.368 - to the northeast and southwest of the lot and the properties serviced by public utilities including 00:18:22.368 --> 00:18:28.650 - water, sewer, gas, and electric. Stormwater program has indicated that all stormwater quality and quantity 00:18:28.650 --> 00:18:33.054 - requirements per chapter 761 have to be met as well as some more stringent 00:18:33.410 --> 00:18:40.492 - release rate requirements as that site is located in a critical watershed area. That's the Sinking Creek 00:18:40.492 --> 00:18:47.371 - watershed. And the site is adjacent to the Walmart Supercenter that many of you have probably been to 00:18:47.371 --> 00:18:54.318 - before. So these are the definitions of limited business, general business, and restaurant fast casual 00:18:54.318 --> 00:19:01.333 - per the Monroe County Development Ordinance. And this is the definition of drive-throughs and accessory 00:19:01.333 --> 00:19:02.142 - use per the 00:19:02.274 --> 00:19:08.422 - development ordinance as well. This was included in the packet. As stated in the last paragraph there, 00:19:08.422 --> 00:19:14.689 - the use is permitted as a condition of use in the limited business and general business owning district, 00:19:14.689 --> 00:19:20.718 - but must comply with chapter 841, which outlines requirements for an improvement location permit and 00:19:20.718 --> 00:19:26.926 - subsection 814, which outlines drive-through development standards. So see here, this is the use table. 00:19:26.926 --> 00:19:30.686 - You can see on the top table that the restaurant fast, casual, 00:19:31.010 --> 00:19:38.567 - use is not permitted in the limited business zoning district. In the bottom table, you can see that 00:19:38.567 --> 00:19:46.352 - the drive-through as a necessary use is permitted in both of these zoning districts with a conditional 00:19:46.352 --> 00:19:54.211 - use. So here's a location map. As you can see, that is West State Road 45 to the left. That's outlining 00:19:54.211 --> 00:20:00.862 - the township of the petition site to the right. You can see the darker red reflects the 00:20:01.154 --> 00:20:10.743 - general business zoning district. As you can see, almost completely surrounding the petition site, it 00:20:10.743 --> 00:20:20.709 - is zoned general business and directly to the east. You can see that it's a zoned limited business there. 00:20:20.709 --> 00:20:30.110 - Here are the site conditions photos or photo. And here is aerial imagery per Beacon GIS showing the 00:20:30.242 --> 00:21:00.126 - This was included in the packet as well. 00:21:00.578 --> 00:21:07.654 - you go view the imagery of pictures of the site. So at the planned commission administrative meeting 00:21:07.654 --> 00:21:15.011 - on June 2nd, planned commission members inquired by connectivity and extension of the existing sidewalks 00:21:15.011 --> 00:21:22.717 - and approval from NDOT for the driveway. They deliberated about conditionally approving the rezone contingent 00:21:22.717 --> 00:21:30.494 - on NDOT approvals. Staff believe that wasn't necessary as that would be addressed at a later stage when the if 00:21:30.978 --> 00:21:39.731 - the addition or if the rezone were to be approved at the site plan phase. And also they inquired about 00:21:39.731 --> 00:21:48.399 - bus stops in the vicinity. So here's a picture of the bus stops in the vicinity. This one to the left 00:21:48.399 --> 00:21:57.493 - is to the southwest of the lot and the one on to the right is just to the northeast. And that is indicated 00:21:57.493 --> 00:22:00.382 - by the arrows in this photograph. 00:22:04.130 --> 00:22:12.668 - So here are the conceptual site plans submitted by the petitioner showing several options that they 00:22:12.668 --> 00:22:21.804 - may pursue for this development. These were included in the packet. And here is the summary of dimensional 00:22:21.804 --> 00:22:30.684 - standards for the limited business as well as the general business zoning district. Significant changes 00:22:30.684 --> 00:22:33.758 - would really be the increase in the 00:22:35.778 --> 00:22:41.855 - Maximum pervious cover for the lot size from limited business to general business from 50% of lot size 00:22:41.855 --> 00:22:47.872 - to 55% of the lot size as well as the max height of the primary structure from 35 feet to 45 feet. So 00:22:47.872 --> 00:22:53.890 - that's a 10 foot increase, but the max height of the assessor structure will decrease by 10 feet from 00:22:53.890 --> 00:22:55.070 - 30 feet to 20 feet. 00:22:56.322 --> 00:23:02.155 - And the recommendation staff recommends forwarding a positive recommendation to the board of commissioners 00:23:02.155 --> 00:23:07.769 - for the reason request setting its compatibility with the Monroe County comprehensive plan and subject 00:23:07.769 --> 00:23:13.493 - to stormwater program reports. And now I will field questions. I do want to mention that this particular 00:23:13.493 --> 00:23:19.326 - petition will have to go to the county commissioners. And from what I understand from the package, they're 00:23:19.326 --> 00:23:24.286 - also requesting a waiver for a final hearing. So after saying that, are there any comments 00:23:24.738 --> 00:23:35.888 - from the Planning Commission before we proceed to petitioner left. Mr. Enright, Randall. Yes, it was 00:23:35.888 --> 00:23:47.258 - discussed about ingress egress at the admin, also the bus stops. Sidewalks were a focal point and from 00:23:47.258 --> 00:23:54.654 - the conceptual plan, I don't see any like proposed sidewalks, also 00:23:54.818 --> 00:24:01.947 - The question of the sidewalks was, is this going to fall into NDOT's jurisdiction or right away? Do 00:24:01.947 --> 00:24:09.148 - you have anything on their ability to put some sidewalks on the frontage of that? Well, I believe as 00:24:09.148 --> 00:24:16.419 - far as the conceptual site plan, I think that's just pertaining to the building itself. I don't think 00:24:16.419 --> 00:24:24.190 - that's really pertaining to all of the improvements that they'll have to make per our development ordinance. 00:24:24.418 --> 00:24:32.912 - Now, as far as in dots purview. I mean, it's their jurisdiction. And if they think that a design sidewalk 00:24:32.912 --> 00:24:41.006 - works, it works. And if it doesn't, it doesn't. We still have a set a standard to the site plan. And 00:24:41.006 --> 00:24:49.660 - if it can't meet the standard, then they would have to come before the Board of Zoning Appeals for variants 00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:50.782 - to sidewalks. 00:24:50.946 --> 00:24:58.960 - potentially the sidewalks could be put in outside of the end up right away. If a waiver or if the variance 00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:06.674 - is approved. Yeah, because I think the standard normally is that it has to be in the right of way. But 00:25:06.674 --> 00:25:14.239 - it's there's a lot to the design that we haven't even seen yet at this point. And one other question 00:25:14.239 --> 00:25:20.830 - and we discussed this by just wanted to inform the board as well or the commission that 00:25:21.090 --> 00:25:30.498 - based on the site's restraints, some of these more high-intensity uses probably couldn't be achieved 00:25:30.498 --> 00:25:39.999 - without the tear down and rebuild of the facility. So, is that correct? I guess it would just kind of 00:25:39.999 --> 00:25:47.358 - depend on the use. Let me rephrase that. You weren't concerned of any of those 00:25:47.522 --> 00:25:56.729 - uses. Sorry, not. Yeah, yeah, like a little like a more intense, like larger use would probably not 00:25:56.729 --> 00:26:05.936 - be possible in the existing structure. Thank you. I have a general comment about the sidewalks, but 00:26:05.936 --> 00:26:14.590 - I can wait or just mainly everything I have to finish. All right. So I'm personally the way I 00:26:14.722 --> 00:26:24.003 - can support this is getting some type of commitment of them installing the sidewalk outside of NDOTs 00:26:24.003 --> 00:26:33.467 - right away or if NDOT approves it. I just think that it's needed in this area. I did just a little bit 00:26:33.467 --> 00:26:42.656 - of GIS mapping and we do have a gap from kind of where you see the sidewalk coming in front of that 00:26:42.656 --> 00:26:44.126 - big red liquor. 00:26:44.578 --> 00:26:53.243 - to the west and all the way to the other road is about 1528 feet plus or minus depending on how the 00:26:53.243 --> 00:27:01.302 - sidewalks built, which is kind of significant, but I think this is a part of the county that 00:27:01.302 --> 00:27:10.574 - and unfortunately the city where we are going to have to start piece milling some connectivity, contiguous 00:27:10.574 --> 00:27:13.694 - connectivity for pedestrian safety. 00:27:14.178 --> 00:27:21.129 - And I think it's really important whenever we talk about rezoning where there could be a higher use 00:27:21.129 --> 00:27:28.497 - but things that don't really lead to concern or that tear down rebuild where we do see a lot more traffic 00:27:28.497 --> 00:27:35.517 - volume, which I think pedestrian safety is key. That also will bring us up to Liberty Drive where we 00:27:35.517 --> 00:27:42.398 - made solid investments of making a multi-mobile trail there and it will create great connectivity. 00:27:42.946 --> 00:27:50.379 - Without seeing something more solid with knowing that a sidewalk could be put in here, I don't think 00:27:50.379 --> 00:27:57.813 - I could support the rezone. And I know that this could be done at different phases, but I think this 00:27:57.813 --> 00:28:05.393 - is the opportunity to get it done. And even if it increases just a small fraction of people coming and 00:28:05.393 --> 00:28:11.134 - going from this facility, that increases the need for safety for pedestrians. 00:28:12.322 --> 00:28:19.361 - That's where I'm at. Thank you for letting me continue. Anybody else on the right? Julie, Commissioner 00:28:19.361 --> 00:28:26.401 - Thomas, go ahead. Yes, thank you. I do want to say that I don't think it's a ripe issue right now. And 00:28:26.401 --> 00:28:33.372 - I am concerned as well to ensure that the sidewalks are done, but they're going to have to do it. And 00:28:33.372 --> 00:28:39.454 - they're going to have to do it one way or another. And I don't think anything we do here 00:28:40.002 --> 00:28:49.140 - should be contingent on sidewalks since it's a requirement. So I'm okay with moving forward as is. Is 00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:58.188 - there any requirement for the interconnectivity of the parking lots, especially with Walmart and Big 00:28:58.188 --> 00:29:07.685 - Red Liquors? No, not at this instance. North Park was a PUD that did require it as a part of that zoning. 00:29:07.685 --> 00:29:08.670 - Thank you. 00:29:10.754 --> 00:29:20.940 - Okay, petitioner, petitioner's rep, you got 15 minutes. Go ahead and sign in and state your name if 00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:28.478 - you would, please. Hello, my name is Michael Harding with Domino's Pizza. 00:29:45.090 --> 00:29:51.309 - Oh, I guess. You have 15 minutes. 15 minutes to speak on my mind, I guess. I thought you were going 00:29:51.309 --> 00:29:57.591 - to ask me questions. I'm sorry. No, I think this would be a fantastic location for us. And I do hear 00:29:57.591 --> 00:30:03.934 - what you're saying about keeping pedestrians safe. And we are definitely, we strive for safety within 00:30:03.934 --> 00:30:10.464 - our own drivers. We want to make sure we're safe on the road. You might see them zipping around a little 00:30:10.464 --> 00:30:14.942 - bit here and there, but I mean, we are very stringent on driver safety. 00:30:15.266 --> 00:30:22.170 - And, you know, I don't see this being too much of an issue with whatever the needs are for that bus 00:30:22.170 --> 00:30:29.282 - stop there. Actually, I'm actually kind of excited to have that bus stop there because they might come 00:30:29.282 --> 00:30:36.324 - and order a pizza and take a bus home. So just another way for someone to order a pizza and come into 00:30:36.324 --> 00:30:44.126 - our location, and I think that it's an opportunity for us. So that's all I have to say. Questions from my right. 00:30:45.890 --> 00:30:53.292 - Dr. Randolph. I appreciate you addressing my comments. I believe this is a great location. I truly want 00:30:53.292 --> 00:31:00.409 - to 100% get behind it. I think you're going to get the support you need. Move it forward and we can 00:31:00.409 --> 00:31:07.668 - address the sidewalks at a different area. I just wanted to explain there's certain times that we can 00:31:07.668 --> 00:31:14.785 - make these exchanges where the commitments are in place and, you know, that's just where I'm at. So 00:31:14.785 --> 00:31:15.710 - I believe in 00:31:15.810 --> 00:31:23.278 - the rezone, I believe in your mission of creating this a viable, you know, dominoes location, I think 00:31:23.278 --> 00:31:30.600 - it's going to be very successful. But just wanted to state that to you. Yeah, I totally understand. 00:31:30.600 --> 00:31:38.068 - I'm a local Bloomington residents, so I totally get it. I want to be a part of the community and make 00:31:38.068 --> 00:31:43.998 - sure that we thrive in the right direction. So. All right, thank you. Thank you. 00:31:44.578 --> 00:31:52.786 - All right, we now move into the public hearing portion. Do we have anybody online or in the room that 00:31:52.786 --> 00:32:00.832 - would like to comment in favor of this petition? Seeing none, we'll go ahead to anybody in the room 00:32:00.832 --> 00:32:09.040 - or online who are opposed to this petition. Seeing none, okay. So back to the planning commission for 00:32:09.040 --> 00:32:11.454 - comments. Anybody on my left? 00:32:18.114 --> 00:32:25.580 - Motion, please. For case REZ-26-1, I move that we forward a positive recommendation to the Board of 00:32:25.580 --> 00:32:33.045 - Commissioners for the rezone request, citing its compatibility with the Monroe County Comprehensive 00:32:33.045 --> 00:32:40.884 - Plan and subject to stormwater program reports, and this includes a waiver of the final hearing. Second. 00:32:40.884 --> 00:32:44.542 - All right, there's been a motion and a second to 00:32:45.410 --> 00:32:56.114 - forward a positive recommendation to the Board of Commissioners for rezone case are easy-26-1 and that 00:32:56.114 --> 00:33:07.025 - does include a waiver of final hearing Julie Thomas Yes Jeff Morris. Yes, David Henry. Yes, Rudy fields. 00:33:07.025 --> 00:33:11.390 - Yes, Scott Ferris Tron and right Randolph 00:33:13.218 --> 00:33:20.129 - I'm going to abstain due to the lack of uncertainty with the right of way in being within in 00:33:20.129 --> 00:33:27.559 - dots jurisdiction. So abstention. Margaret Clements. Yes. And David Bush. Yes. Motion carries seven 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:35.213 - to zero to one. All right. That moves us into anything other than new business, which is anything else 00:33:35.213 --> 00:33:42.718 - on the agenda that people want to bring up. And there's three minutes for those individuals who want 00:33:43.810 --> 00:33:52.773 - Do we have anybody in the room or online who want to bring up additional items at this point? Okay. 00:33:52.773 --> 00:34:01.915 - Seeing none. Any reports from the Planning Department? No reports. And also from the County Attorney? 00:34:01.915 --> 00:34:09.534 - No report. Do I have a motion to adjourn? May we thank Ray for his first time at the 00:34:10.722 --> 00:34:17.456 - Thank you. Ray did a fantastic job at your first Planning Commission meeting and I just wanted to recognize 00:34:17.456 --> 00:34:21.758 - that. Thank you. I appreciate it, John. Motion to adjourn. So moved.
