WEBVTT 00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:08.237 - meeting to order and it's for the 21st July 2026 these conduct a well first of all I guess we should 00:00:08.237 --> 00:00:16.105 - recognize that our director has returned so Jackie welcome it's good to have you back thank you and 00:00:16.105 --> 00:00:24.210 - thank you for supporting maternity leave here so I appreciate it we need to acknowledge that Tammy did 00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:26.334 - an outstanding job she did 00:00:31.522 --> 00:00:45.065 - call okay david bush here margaret clements here frown and right randolph scott ferris yes here rudy 00:00:45.065 --> 00:00:58.206 - fields here david henry here jeff morris here julie thomas here jovan diventer and stephen bishop 00:00:59.426 --> 00:01:07.916 - So we still have seven members attending in person in a quorum. All right. That brings us to a introduction 00:01:07.916 --> 00:01:15.855 - of that evidence to have a motion and a second for approval. Okay. I will go ahead and call the room 00:01:15.855 --> 00:01:23.716 - for the introduction of evidence. Would you like me to read into the evidence and then also approve 00:01:23.716 --> 00:01:27.646 - them at the same time? That would be great. Okay. 00:01:27.746 --> 00:01:33.656 - I'll go ahead and read it. I'd like to introduce the following items into the evidence. The Monroe County 00:01:33.656 --> 00:01:39.510 - Development Ordinance as adopted and amended. The Monroe County Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Control 00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:45.419 - Ordinance as adopted and amended. The Monroe County Comprehensive Plan as adopted and amended. The Monroe 00:01:45.419 --> 00:01:51.496 - County Plan Commission Rules of Procedure as adopted and amended. And the cases that were legally advertised 00:01:51.496 --> 00:01:57.406 - and scheduled for a hearing on tonight's agenda. So it's been moved and seconded to introduce and approve 00:01:57.634 --> 00:02:04.323 - the introduction of evidence. A vote yes is a vote to approve the introduction of evidence. 00:02:04.323 --> 00:02:11.376 - Margaret Clements. Yes. John Enright. Oh, Scott Ferris. Yes. Rudy Fields. Yes. David Henry. Yes. 00:02:11.376 --> 00:02:19.011 - Jeff Morris. Yes. Julie Thomas. Yes. David Bush. Yes. Motion is approved, seven to zero. And that brings 00:02:19.011 --> 00:02:26.718 - us to the agenda. It looks like we have one item under new business. Are there any changes to the agenda? 00:02:29.410 --> 00:02:38.377 - to move approval of the agenda. Second. Moved and seconded to approve the agenda. A vote yes is to approve 00:02:38.377 --> 00:02:47.093 - the agenda as published. Scott Farris? Yes. Rudy Fields? Yes. David Henry? Yes. Jeff Morris? Yes. Billy 00:02:47.093 --> 00:02:53.630 - Thomas? Yes. David Bush? Yes. Margaret Clements? Yes. Motion is approved 7-0. 00:02:54.466 --> 00:03:00.664 - It looks like we don't have any minutes to approve. And it looks like we have no administrative business. 00:03:00.664 --> 00:03:06.745 - And it looks like we don't have any unfinished business. So let's go ahead and move on to new business. 00:03:06.745 --> 00:03:12.710 - And it looks like it's SPP 26.3, which is the Entry East Major Subdivision Primary Plan Amendment. It 00:03:12.710 --> 00:03:18.791 - looks like they're looking for a sidewalk waiver and also a waiver of the final hearing. And I guess... 00:03:18.791 --> 00:03:19.902 - Members, go ahead. 00:03:21.890 --> 00:03:30.595 - So this is for phase three of Gentry East major subdivision. It is a primary plot amendment and a sidewalk 00:03:30.595 --> 00:03:38.813 - waiver request. It's basically for one lot of record. It is 0.46 acres in Perry Township section one 00:03:38.813 --> 00:03:47.518 - at 1017 South Hillside Court. This is a PUD, a planned unit development called Gentry East. The petitioner 00:03:48.098 --> 00:03:55.964 - Is marcy tidwell on behalf of the gentry east homeowners association. So this is a homeowners association 00:03:55.964 --> 00:04:03.385 - that is attempting to Finish a subdivision and they would like some assistance and some relief with 00:04:03.385 --> 00:04:10.361 - not having to build a segment of sidewalk petitioners proposing to amend Phase three to waive 00:04:10.361 --> 00:04:14.814 - that requirement for the sidewalk. It is plotted on lot 105 00:04:15.266 --> 00:04:23.631 - and currently consists of the one parcel that we've already mentioned in Gentry East. Let's see what 00:04:23.631 --> 00:04:32.326 - else. There's no other deviations being proposed in the Gentry East subdivision. It is just to not build 00:04:32.326 --> 00:04:40.691 - this one segment of sidewalk on lot 105. I think it's 105, correct. They are at the same time across 00:04:40.691 --> 00:04:42.430 - the street from this 00:04:42.690 --> 00:04:49.874 - lots 103 and 104 they are going to be reconstructing existing sidewalk that is there that had some some 00:04:49.874 --> 00:04:56.919 - issues with it so that it would not be able to be adopted into the county inventory with the right of 00:04:56.919 --> 00:05:02.238 - way and so they're making some corrections to the sidewalk across the street 00:05:05.122 --> 00:05:11.184 - The developer of gentry subdivision phase three did not complete the subdivision and the county did 00:05:11.184 --> 00:05:17.367 - not have a financial guarantee large enough to make those required improvements before this developer 00:05:17.367 --> 00:05:23.489 - went bankrupt. And so the HOA has agreed to make final corrections and install missing components of 00:05:23.489 --> 00:05:28.702 - the required infrastructure in order for it to be accepted into the county inventory. 00:05:29.282 --> 00:05:36.699 - And this primary plat is one piece of the puzzle, and it would eliminate those sidewalks on this eastern 00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:43.762 - side of South Hill Court on lot five. So should have probably done this. I will note that there are 00:05:43.762 --> 00:05:51.391 - a lot of different plats that I'll probably flash up on the screen, and there is an interesting Scrivener's 00:05:51.391 --> 00:05:58.878 - error that has occurred through time. Lot 102, lot 105, basically the same. We'll be outlining that area. 00:05:59.042 --> 00:06:06.960 - And I wanted to point that out. There's a couple of paragraphs in the staff report that just explain 00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:14.250 - the history of how this lot changed. So this is the zoning map. The gray indicates a planned 00:06:14.250 --> 00:06:22.482 - unit development. That hashed mark is that this is in area two of the eco overlay. And the comprehensive 00:06:22.482 --> 00:06:28.126 - plan has it as rural transition. Area is on sewer. It is all built out. 00:06:28.354 --> 00:06:35.778 - and has existed as such for maybe 20 years, 20 years. And so this is just trying to finish this up, 00:06:35.778 --> 00:06:43.203 - get it established into the county inventory. And one of those is this yellow area here to not have 00:06:43.203 --> 00:06:50.775 - that sidewalk. And I will also then point out that sidewalk across the street does exist, but it will 00:06:50.775 --> 00:06:55.230 - be rebuilt. The area where you see Beardsley Drive, that is 00:06:55.458 --> 00:07:03.919 - a different phase that is phase six. And so the phase three was amended to kind of allow that continuance 00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:12.220 - of the subdivision. Here we have some staff photos. Well, these are aerial photos. You can see the area 00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:20.361 - here we're talking about where there is a missing sidewalk from a different angle. And then these are 00:07:20.361 --> 00:07:25.310 - some staff photos from out in the field of where the sidewalk 00:07:26.082 --> 00:07:34.092 - could be placed, but it does have some logistics and some burdens that would maybe be problematic that 00:07:34.092 --> 00:07:42.024 - we'll discuss in a moment. And then we do have a letter from the petitioner kind of establishing some 00:07:42.024 --> 00:07:49.879 - of the history of the site and the reasons why they're wanting to ask for this waiver for one of the 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.534 - lots to not have sidewalks in their community. 00:07:56.034 --> 00:08:03.637 - This is the primary plat amendment as proposed and submitted. So the black segment of sidewalk, that 00:08:03.637 --> 00:08:11.315 - is what they would like to remove from the primary plat. And the red segment is the portion that they 00:08:11.315 --> 00:08:19.069 - are going to keep. They're going to reconstruct that and complete that part so that it can be accepted 00:08:19.069 --> 00:08:21.854 - into inventory. We did confirm using 00:08:21.986 --> 00:08:28.932 - our CDO and review the language and we did not have to have an engineered plan set to do this primary 00:08:28.932 --> 00:08:35.879 - platen amendment and so we are this is the drawing that we have come up with you will note that it is 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:42.894 - not a certified plan by any means this has been drawn on and that is acceptable for this they will not 00:08:42.894 --> 00:08:49.908 - have to do a secondary platen amendment as a result of this primary platen amendment because we do not 00:08:49.908 --> 00:08:51.134 - include sidewalks 00:08:51.618 --> 00:08:59.715 - and also street trees in a secondary plot. So it's just showing usually lots and easements, things like 00:08:59.715 --> 00:09:07.657 - that. This is just a blown up portion of that. You'll note here that in this plot, it shows it as lot 00:09:07.657 --> 00:09:15.676 - 102. We acknowledge it as lot 105. This is the original phases one through five shown here. And so you 00:09:15.676 --> 00:09:21.438 - get a glimpse of what this area looked like before the road came through. 00:09:21.698 --> 00:09:29.649 - before those sidewalk requirements were needed for the reconfiguration of these, I believe it was four 00:09:29.649 --> 00:09:37.368 - lots that went down and drilled down to three lots. And then a road segment went through here. This 00:09:37.368 --> 00:09:45.164 - is phase three's plat, kind of showing that continuation where the lots got reconfigured here. We're 00:09:45.164 --> 00:09:49.950 - labeling it as lot 105 now again. And then this is phase five 00:09:51.618 --> 00:09:58.705 - And phase six is where the sidewalks are clearly indicated on lot 102 on this one, even though we know 00:09:58.705 --> 00:10:06.137 - it's lot 105. And so this is it blown up here showing lot 102, which should be 105. And that's the sidewalk 00:10:06.137 --> 00:10:11.710 - that we're requesting. Those street trees I do believe are in place already now. 00:10:13.698 --> 00:10:20.508 - And so I think the department comments are really important when looking at this and basing staff's 00:10:20.508 --> 00:10:27.522 - findings of fact. So Ben Ayers with the highway department stated that due to existing manhole located 00:10:27.522 --> 00:10:34.604 - in this area, see sheet eight of the construction plan, the sidewalk is not able to be installed within 00:10:34.604 --> 00:10:41.278 - the right of way and meet ADA specifications. So he has no comments or issues with this petition. 00:10:41.698 --> 00:10:49.246 - Our new highway engineer Tim Lawson. He also reviewed this with Ben Ayers and he was fine with the proposal 00:10:49.246 --> 00:10:56.794 - and the waiver and Erica Pena with stormwater program Did have the drainage board review this they approved 00:10:56.794 --> 00:11:03.852 - those drainage plans for Gentry East phase two through five way back in 1998 and These changes would 00:11:03.852 --> 00:11:10.142 - not impact the drainage But they don't need to be heard at the drainage boards after this 00:11:10.882 --> 00:11:17.443 - So with that, we have a staff recommendation to approve the amendment to the subdivision to remove the 00:11:17.443 --> 00:11:23.877 - sidewalk requirement from lot 105, AKA 102, under a sidewalk waiver request based on the findings of 00:11:23.877 --> 00:11:30.502 - fact that the proposed primary plat amendment meets county development ordinance subject to the Highway 00:11:30.502 --> 00:11:36.873 - Engineer and Stormwater Program Manager reports. And again, there is a waiver of final hearing with 00:11:36.873 --> 00:11:39.166 - this as well for petition SPP-26-3. 00:11:40.962 --> 00:11:49.331 - All right, thank you. Any comments from the commissioners before we go to the petitioner? Go to the 00:11:49.331 --> 00:11:57.868 - left. Anybody? I guess I just want clarification that we're going to be referring to this as Lot 105. 00:11:57.868 --> 00:12:06.238 - Lot 105, correct. Okay, thank you. So this brings us to the petitioner or petitioner's rep, and you 00:12:06.238 --> 00:12:10.590 - have 15 minutes to talk to us about this. Okay, so. 00:12:17.570 --> 00:12:25.666 - Maybe the commissioners have questions for the petitioners. Anybody? I would like to ask, Rita, in my 00:12:25.666 --> 00:12:33.761 - experience with around the community, you went through a great deal of effort to form your homeowners 00:12:33.761 --> 00:12:42.174 - association and that was no small feat given the fact that the developer had kind of walked away from it. 00:12:42.306 --> 00:12:49.966 - And you finally succeeded in that. And I wonder if you would come to the microphone and at the podium 00:12:49.966 --> 00:12:57.552 - and just say how important this is to get the streets into the county inventory so they can be cared 00:12:57.552 --> 00:13:05.137 - for. Absolutely. In order to do that, first of all, you had to state your name and sign in. OK. Rita 00:13:05.137 --> 00:13:11.070 - Klingelhofer. I'm the president and the treasurer for the HOA for Gentry East. 00:13:11.874 --> 00:13:18.562 - my name real quick. We have been working diligently over the last probably four years to get everything 00:13:18.562 --> 00:13:25.121 - in order in the neighborhood because as Tammy mentioned we have six sections within the neighborhood, 00:13:25.121 --> 00:13:31.680 - four of them have been accepted into county inventory and we have these two that are just hanging out 00:13:31.680 --> 00:13:37.918 - here that the HOA is responsible for in terms of the infrastructure. We have a very small budget 00:13:38.018 --> 00:13:45.681 - where our dues are $240 a lot, which is about $50,000 annually. So we just don't have the finances to 00:13:45.681 --> 00:13:53.194 - maintain these roads the way that they need to be maintained. So we started working with Kelly Abel 00:13:53.194 --> 00:14:01.382 - as our construction consultant after presenting to the neighborhood. We did an assessment. We have collected 00:14:01.382 --> 00:14:03.486 - 97% of those funds to date. 00:14:03.810 --> 00:14:09.616 - everybody is on board in the neighborhood to do the work. We've started the work, getting everything 00:14:09.616 --> 00:14:12.030 - ADA compliant so that we can be accepted. 00:14:12.098 --> 00:14:18.104 - and move forward as a community within the county. So if you guys have any questions, I mean, it has 00:14:18.104 --> 00:14:24.289 - been multiple meetings just as the board with the community itself, the homeowners with Kelly and we've 00:14:24.289 --> 00:14:30.414 - met with the commissioners, we've met with Jackie multiple times and Ben just to make sure we're doing 00:14:30.414 --> 00:14:34.398 - everything that we need to do the right way to get this work done. 00:14:35.266 --> 00:14:41.694 - So thank you for clarifying that I think it's very helpful for the commissioners to know you know that 00:14:41.694 --> 00:14:48.246 - it's been a work in progress for four years and that you've achieved a lot and you've worked with county 00:14:48.246 --> 00:14:54.799 - in order to try to meet the standards and this one waiver will help you get there. Yes and the homeowner 00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.478 - is definitely excited not to have to have the sidewalk come through their yard they've got 00:15:00.610 --> 00:15:06.838 - mature trees there. They've lived there for years and obviously would prefer not to have to have that 00:15:06.838 --> 00:15:13.127 - come through their yard at this point as well. So thank you. Any other comments from the commissioners 00:15:13.127 --> 00:15:19.660 - on my right, on my left? Thank you very much. So this moves to public hearing portion. Do you have anybody 00:15:19.660 --> 00:15:23.262 - on teams or in the room who'd like to come up and comment? 00:15:28.386 --> 00:15:34.813 - just comment, you have to sign in, give your name, and say in your favor or against. And you have three 00:15:34.813 --> 00:15:41.117 - minutes. Well, I'd like to see this approved. My name is Bennett Tate. I live at 1265 South Barnes in 00:15:41.117 --> 00:15:47.358 - Gentry East. I've been there 14 years. And I spend a lot of time walking the neighborhood. That's my 00:15:47.358 --> 00:15:53.538 - favorite exercise. And I just wanted to be on record saying I've never seen an issue with there not 00:15:53.538 --> 00:15:57.246 - being a sidewalk there. That's all I had to say. Thank you. 00:15:57.730 --> 00:16:06.896 - Anybody else for or against with respect to public comments? I don't see anybody on That's it. Thank 00:16:06.896 --> 00:16:15.972 - you very much. So now we come back up to the I said for and against Okay, so Now we come back up to 00:16:15.972 --> 00:16:26.046 - the the commissioners to see if you have any comments on the left on the right All right, do we have a motion? 00:16:27.362 --> 00:16:37.190 - with SPP-26-3 for an address at 1017 South Hill Court. The request is for a primary plat amendment to 00:16:37.190 --> 00:16:47.210 - waive sidewalk requirements with the waiver of final hearing requested. And I move that we approve this 00:16:47.210 --> 00:16:52.702 - request. Second. It's been moved and seconded to approve 00:16:52.898 --> 00:17:02.644 - SPP-26-3, which is a sidewalk waiver for Gentry East, as well as a waiver of final hearing. A vote yes 00:17:02.644 --> 00:17:12.768 - is a vote to approve the primary plot amendment sidewalk waiver and to approve the waiver of final hearing 00:17:12.768 --> 00:17:21.662 - requested. Rudy Fields? Yes. David Henry? Yes. Jeff? Yes. Julie Thomas? Yes. David Bush? Yes. 00:17:22.402 --> 00:17:32.237 - Scott Ferris. Yes, motion is approved seven to zero. I might add that I might add that we approved this 00:17:32.237 --> 00:17:41.789 - body approves it. It does not go to the county commissioner, so this is it. Thank you for working so 00:17:41.789 --> 00:17:51.246 - well. Our departments and for achieving this goal because it makes everything easier. You've done a 00:17:51.246 --> 00:17:52.286 - great job. 00:17:53.666 --> 00:18:03.985 - Yeah. All right, that moves us to items not on the agenda. Does anybody have any items not on the agenda? 00:18:03.985 --> 00:18:14.109 - Anybody? Right? I think Tron Enright-Randolph has his hand raised and the teams. I didn't even see him. 00:18:14.109 --> 00:18:23.454 - He was walking into the meeting. Has he been there all along? No. Okay, so Tron, go ahead. Yes. 00:18:24.642 --> 00:18:33.438 - It seems like we finished up another board meeting and we just. 00:18:45.506 --> 00:18:53.038 - It was a little difficult to hear you, but I know that you had another board meeting conflict before 00:18:53.038 --> 00:18:59.973 - this. So yes, this was the only item on the petition or on the agenda. So we're wrapping up. 00:18:59.973 --> 00:19:07.580 - Sounds good. Welcome. All right. That's drawn. So it looks like we have no other items on the agenda. 00:19:07.580 --> 00:19:14.366 - And so do I have a, can we go ahead and have a motion to adjourn? What about the comments? 00:19:15.106 --> 00:19:31.497 - not on the agenda but I implied that any public comment for items not on the agenda I see done motion 00:19:31.497 --> 00:19:36.318 - to adjourn so moved thank you
