THANK YOU, MAYOR PRO THA AND COUNCIL.

UH, THE FIRST ITEM IS CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ELEMENT AND ANNUAL REPORT, THE, THE FY 25 CIE AND ANNUAL REPORT.

JUST AS A REMINDER, THE CIE AND ANNUAL REPORT BASICALLY PROVIDES A MEANS OF TRACKING OUR PERFORMANCE AND IT SERVES AS A TOOL, AS A TOOL BY THE STATE AS TO MEASURING OUR PROGRESS AND ACHIEVING COMMUNITY GOALS.

AS OUTLINED IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLANS, COUNCIL APPROVED A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING STAFF TO TRANSMIT OUR CIE AN ANNUAL REPORT TO A RC, THE ATLANTA REGIONAL COMMISSION, AND DCA,

[00:05:01]

SO BASICALLY IT'S JUST AN ACCOUNTING OF OUR ANNUAL EXPENDITURES OF OUR IMPACT FEES.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM STAT FROM COUNSEL? SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, GEORGE.

[C. MP-26-07/CU-26-06 The Honey Hall/Preston Ridge MP
Consideration of a master plan amendment and conditional use to allow a ‘Special Event Center’ in an existing retail strip building. A master plan amendment is requested to the Preston Ridge Master Plan Pod I to add ‘Special Event Facility’ as a conditional use and a conditional use is requested to allow a ‘Special Event Facility’ for the Honey Hall. The property is located at 3055 North Point Parkway, Suites 800 & 900 and is legally described as being located in Land Lot 1261, 2nd District, 2nd Section, Fulton County, Georgia.]

AND THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 30 55 NORTH POINT PARKWAY SUITES 800 AND 900 AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WEBB BRIDGE ROAD IN NORTH POINT PARKWAY.

AND, AND THE PREVIOUS USE THERE WAS A CROSSFIT GYM.

SHOW YOU WHAT THAT SHOPPING CENTER LOOKS LIKE.

SO ALTHOUGH IT'S A MIX OF, OF RETAIL AND OFFICE WITHIN THE CENTER, AND THEY HAVE OVER 700 PARKING SPACES, WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS CORNER HERE.

THIS IS THE RETAIL CENTER.

THE OTHER USES THERE LIKE QUEST, UH, DIAGNOSTICS.

THERE'S ALSO, UM, A, UH, SUBWAY AS WELL AS A MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

SO THIS IS THE RETAIL PORTION OF, OF THE LARGER OFFICE CENTER.

PRESTON RIDGE COMMONS IS APPROXIMATELY 6.34 ACRES DEVELOPED WITH A 14,286 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL STRIP CENTER.

UH, THE OFFICE BUILDINGS OR 12 OF THOSE, UH, THEY'RE TWO STORY 159,000 110 SQUARE FEET, UH, TO THE WEST AND SOUTH OF THE RETAIL CENTER.

THE HONEY HALL IS A NEW BUSINESS OFFERING PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED RESERVATION ONLY BOUTIQUE SPECIAL EVENT SPACE.

THE APPLICANT'S BUSINESS WOULD OCCUPY SUITES 800 AND 900.

AGAIN, THAT WAS WHERE THE, THE GYM WAS LOCATED.

UH, A MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF 145 PEOPLE REQUESTED FOR THE 3,120 SQUARE FOOT SPACE.

AND ACCORDING TO THE APPLICATION, THE FACILITY WOULD ACCOMMODATE EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, UH, EVENTS, CORPORATE TRAINING, PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS, CLIENT MEETINGS, PRESENTATIONS, PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING, UH, SMALL BRAND ACTIVATIONS, AS WELL AS WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS, AND ANNIVERSARIES.

AND THE HOURS OF OPERATION WILL BE FROM 8:00 AM TO 11:00 PM SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK.

THE APPLICANT WILL BE THE SOLE EMPLOYEE FOR THE SPECIAL EVENT FACILITY.

CATERING SERVICES MAY INCLUDE SERVING ALCOHOL, BUT THERE WILL BE NO ALCOHOL SALES PERMITTED.

AND THEN TRAFFIC RELATED THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S HARD TO DETERMINE BECAUSE IT COULD BE SMALLER EVENTS.

IT'S PROBABLY NOT GONNA BE AT A AM AND P PM UH, PEAK HOURS.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT A TOTAL OF, IF THERE WAS 145 PEOPLE THERE, TOTAL VEHICLE TRIPS WOULD BE 58.

WE DID LOOK AT THE OTHER BUSINESSES.

TWO OF THEM CLOSED AT SIX 30, SO WE BELIEVE THERE'S

[00:10:01]

AND THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN, UH, PARKING EASEMENT AGREEMENT, UH, ACCESS AGREEMENT THAT'S LOCATED BEHIND THE BUILDING, STILL WITHIN THE SAME CENTER FROM THE OWNER.

SO THEY WOULD HAVE AN EXTRA OVER 50 PARKING SPACES THAT ARE LOCATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.

THEY ALSO HAVE A RIDE SHARE PROGRAM.

A LOT OF TIMES FOR THESE EVENTS, YOU'LL HAVE A RIDE SHARE.

SO YOU CAN SEE IN BLUE HERE, THEY HAVE THE DROP OFF AREA RIGHT HERE AT THE CORNER, AND THEN IT CIRCLES BEHIND THE BUILDING SO IT DOESN'T GO BACK THROUGH THE FRONT, UH, PARKING LOT LOT.

SO THEY'VE THOUGHT OF ALL OF THOSE DIFFERENT, UH, PARKING NEEDS.

THE REPORT SUBMITTED BY THE APPLICANT STATES THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS WERE LOCATED WITHIN 500 FEET.

SHE ACTUALLY, I HAVE TO BRAG A LITTLE BIT ON THE, THE APPLICANT I DID AT PLANNING COMMISSION TOO, BECAUSE REALLY TOOK TO HEART DOING A GOOD JOB OF, OF THE PUBLIC OUTREACH AND, UM, TALKED TO ALL THE DIFFERENT, UH, RETAILERS THAT WOULD BE IMPACTED.

AND WE ONLY RECEIVED POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC OUTREACH.

WE ALSO HAD THE COMMUNITY ZONING INFORMATION MEETING MAY 13TH.

THERE WERE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THE, THE APPLICANT'S, UH, REQUEST.

THE ITEM WAS CONSIDERED AT THE JUNE 4TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING.

THERE WERE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

AND AFTER DISCUSSION, THE COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL SUBJECT TO EIGHT DIFFERENT, UH, STAFF CONDITIONS.

AND THAT CONCLUDES STAFF PRESENTATION.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE GLAD TO TRY TO ANSWER THOSE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MS. COOK? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THE ALLOW APPLICANT LIKE TO COME FORWARD, AND SHE, SHE DID HAVE A SMALL PRESENTATION AT THE PLAN COMMISSION BROUGHT THAT WITH YOU.

SO IT MAY TAKE A MINUTE JUST TO, TO CONNECT, PUT THE SPEAKER ON.

OH, THERE'S NO AUDIO FOR YOU.

OH, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO BE HERE.

MY NAME IS JULIANNA WILKINS.

I RESIDE AT 1 3 5 8 DALESFORD DRIVE, AND I'M HERE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE HONEY HALL.

THESE ARE THE MAIN POINTS I'D LIKE TO SHARE THIS EVENING.

UH, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I'M MOVING TOO QUICKLY SO I CAN SLOW DOWN FOR YOU.

I'D LIKE TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE APPROVAL TO OPEN THE HONEY HALL.

AN UPSCALE BOUTIQUE RESERVATION ONLY SPECIAL EVENTS VENUE DESIGNED FOR PRIVATE CELEBRATIONS, PROFESSIONAL GATHERINGS, AND COMMUNITY CENTERED EVENTS IN ALPHARETTA.

ALFREDA REPRESENTS THE STANDARD I WANT THE HONEY HALL TO REFLECT.

ITS BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN, SAFE, FAMILY FOCUSED AND THOUGHTFULLY PLANNED.

MY FAMILY IS THE REASON I PURCHASED MY HOME IN ALPHARETTA.

AND THE REASON I'M BUILDING THE HONEY HALL, THIS BUSINESS IS DEEPLY PERSONAL.

IT'S ABOUT CREATING STABILITY, LEGACY, AND A MEANINGFUL FUTURE FOR MY CHILDREN.

WHILE CON CONTRIBUTING POSITIVELY TO THE CITY WE CALL HOME, I BRING EXPERIENCE IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT, BRAND MARKETING, EVENT COORDINATION, VENDOR COMMUNICATION, TIMELINE AND BUDGET MANAGEMENT, AND HIGH VISIBILITY EXPERIENCES.

IN ADDITION TO MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, I HOLD A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND I HAVE COMPLETED COURSEWORK TOWARDS BACHELOR FINE ARTS.

IN GRAPHIC DESIGN, THE HONEY HALL WILL BE OPERATED WITH STRUCTURE, PROFESSIONALISM, AND EXTREME ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

HONEY HALL IS AN UPSCALE, WARM, MODERN EVENT SPACE DESIGNED FOR INTIMATE CELEBRATIONS, MILESTONE EVENTS, CORPORATE GATHERINGS, AND CURATED COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES.

THE GOAL IS NOT JUST TO RENT A ROOM, IT'S TO DELIVER A POLISHED, WELL-MANAGED GUEST EXPERIENCE.

FAMILIES, PROFESSIONALS, SMALL BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

[00:15:01]

THE GROWING DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT AND ROBUST LOCAL VENDOR ECOSYSTEM AS WELL AS THE THRIVING BUSINESS COMMUNITY ALL DEMONSTRATE A DISTINCT DEMAND FOR BOUTIQUE EVENT SPACE.

IN ALPHARETTA, THE HONEY HALL WILL OPERATE BY ADVANCED BOOKING ONLY WITH DEFINED PACKAGES, CLEAR EVENT WINDOWS, CAPACITY LIMITS, REQUIRED AGREEMENTS, DEPOSITS, HOUSE RULES, VENDOR GUIDELINES, AND ONSITE VENUE SUPPORT.

THIS MODEL ALLOWS EACH EVENT TO BE PLANNED, STAFFED, AND MANAGED RESPONSIBLY.

THE GOAL IS STRUCTURED AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS ACTIVITY.

WITHOUT CREATING DISRUPTION FOR SURROUNDING BUSINESSES OR THE COMMUNITY, THE HONEY HALL WILL PRIORITIZE PARKING AWARENESS, GUEST ARRIVAL, AND DEPARTURE FLOW, NOISE EXPECTATIONS, VENDOR LOADED AND LOAD OUT PROCEDURES, TRASH REMOVAL, AND RESPECTFUL OPERATING STANDARDS.

BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR IS PART OF THE BUSINESS MODEL.

BEFORE I CLOSE, THERE IS ONE ADDITIONAL SPECIAL COMMITMENT I'D LIKE TO MAKE TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY AS A MOM TO ELIJAH, OUR 7-YEAR-OLD ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM, I KNOW HOW CHALLENGING SOCIAL EXPERIENCES CAN BE EVERYDAY PLACES, RESTAURANTS, MOVIE THEATERS, EVEN FAMILY EVENTS CAN BRING STAIRS, JUDGMENT, SENSORY OVERLOAD THAT SOMETIMES LEAD TO MELTDOWNS AND ULTIMATELY ISOLATION.

MANY OF US TURN TO SOCIAL MEDIA AND SUPPORT GROUPS SIMPLY TO FEEL VALIDATED, UNDERSTOOD, AND SEEN BY OTHER FAMILIES ON A SIMILAR JOURNEY.

THE HONEY HALL IS COMMITTED TO CREATING A WELCOMING JUDGMENT-FREE ENVIRONMENT WHERE FAMILIES OF CHILDREN ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM CAN COME TOGETHER, CONNECT, SHARE, SUPPORT, AND CELEBRATE LIFE SPECIAL MOMENTS JUST AS THEY ARE.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME THIS EVENING AND FOR CONSIDERING THE HONEY HALL.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? COUNCILMAN DORITO? THANK YOU, MAYOR PATMAN.

THANK YOU MR. WILKINS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, BY THE WAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT, IS THERE A STORY BEHIND THE NAME? THERE IS, AND THEY ASKED THAT IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AS WELL.

UM, I DO HAVE A CREATIVE BRAND WHERE I DO GRAPHIC DESIGN.

I DO RESIN ART.

I PAINT JUST WHATEVER I NEEDED TO DO TO DECOMPRESS FROM MY CORPORATE JOB DURING THE DAY.

AND THAT BRAND HAS CALLED UGB CREATIVE.

UM, BEING IN MARKETING AND BEING CREATIVE, IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT THE BRAND STORY WAS COHESIVE.

AND SINCE I ALREADY HAD THE B AND I ALREADY HAD THAT COLOR IN MY BRANDING, I JUST STARTED TO ITERATE ON NAMES AND LOGOS AND I LOVE ALLITERATION.

SO THE HONEY HALL JUST KIND OF STUCK AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AND I DESIGNED A HUNDRED LOGOS, BUT IT ENDED UP BEING THE FIRST ONE THAT I DESIGNED THAT I WENT WITH.

UM, 'CAUSE IT JUST FELT RIGHT.

SO.

VERY COOL.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN REEVES.

WE MET AT THE CCIM MEETING AND, UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE WERE VERY IMPRESSED THAT YOU WERE THERE AND ANSWERED ALL THEIR QUESTIONS AND WE'RE KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT IT.

SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR BEING, UM, SUCH A GREAT APPLICANT.

IT'S REALLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'S BEEN TERRIFIC TO BE OUT AND SEE YOU THERE.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

IF THAT'S ALL, ANY COMMON CARDS, MS. OR HUSKY? UH, NO SIR.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY THANK YOU.

BUT I NEED YOU TO ASK IF THERE IS PUBLIC COMMENT IN SUPPORT AND THEN PUBLIC COMMENT IN OPPOSITION.

OKAY.

IF THERE IS ANYBODY HERE IN SUPPORT THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

ANYBODY IN OPPOSITION THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

SEEING NONE, I'LL CALL FOR A VOTE.

UH, YES, MAYOR PRO TEM.

MAKE A MOTION THAT COUNCIL APPROVE MP DASH 26 DASH ZERO SEVEN SLASH CU DASH 26 DASH ZERO SIX, THE HONEY HALL EVENT CENTER, PRESTON RIDGE, UH, MP, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE STAFF REPORT.

SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN HYS, A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN DORITO.

ANY COMMENTS? ANY DISCUSSION? SEEING NONE, PLEASE VOTE ACCORDINGLY.

AND IT DOES PASS UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU.

NEXT UP IS

[D. Z-26-04/V-26-06 1425 Mayfield Road
Consideration of a rezoning and variances to allow for the construction of a five (5) lot single-family detached subdivision on 4.57 acres. A rezoning is requested from AG (Agriculture) to R-22 (Dwelling, ‘For-Sale’) and a variance is requested from Unified Development Code (UDC) Subsection 3.5.2(A) to reduce the minimum width of a local street from 50’ to 44’. The property is located at 1425 Mayfield Road and is legally described as being located in Land Lot 1103, 2nd District, 2nd Section, Fulton County, Georgia.]

[00:20:02]

THANK YOU MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNSEL.

THE NEXT ITEM BEFORE YOU IS A REQUEST FOR REZONING AND VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FIVE A FIVE LOT FOR SALE SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED SUBDIVISION.

THE SUBDIVISION WOULD BE GATED, AND THAT'S ON ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF, FOUR AND A HALF ACRES.

THE PROPOSED DENSITY IS 1.09 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE.

A REZONING IS REQUESTED FROM AG AGRICULTURE TO R 22, WHICH IS MINIMUM 22,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS OR HALF ACRE LOTS.

UH, AND THEN A VARIANCE IS REQUESTED TO REDUCE THE LOCAL STREET RIGHT OF AWAY WIDTH FROM 50 FEET, 44 FEET INTO ALLOW SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.

AND I HAVE THE LOCATION MAP ON THE OVERHEAD.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 1 4 2 5 MAYFIELD ROAD.

IT'S LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF MAYFIELD ROAD.

BETWEEN THE CRAB APPLE TRAITS AND ALPHARETTA STATE SUBDIVISIONS.

THE PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED WITH A ONE STORY ABOUT 1700 SQUARE FOOT.

SINGLE FAMILY HOME SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ZONED AG AND R 15 UN PLATTED RESIDENTIAL LOTS ARE LOCATED TO THE NORTHEAST AND WEST CRAB.

APPLE TRACE SUBDIVISION IS LOCATED TO THE WEST.

ALPHARETTA STATE SUBDIVISION IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH.

THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION OF THIS PROPERTY IS VERY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

THAT PARTICULAR, UH, DESIGNATION SUPPORTS REZONING TO AG RER AND R 22 WHEN WE HAVE MULTIPLE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE WITHIN A FUTURE USE DESIGNATION.

WE LOOK AT HOW THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE DEVELOPED.

SO WHAT WE FOUND WERE THE ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL LOTS HAVE AN AVERAGE LOT SIZE OF A 1.43 ACRES.

THE, THE ADJACENT LOTS IN PLATTED SUBDIVISIONS HAVE AN AVERAGE LOT SIZE JUST UNDER ONE ACRE.

AND THE SMALLEST LOT ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY IS 0.69 ACRES OR ABOUT 30,000 SQUARE FEET.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARRIVED AT THE R 22 ZONING DISTRICT.

BUT STAFF DID RECOMMEND A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 30,000 SQUARE FEET TO MATCH THAT SMALLEST ADJACENT LOT SIZE.

AS I MENTIONED, THERE IS A VARIANCE REQUEST TO REDUCE THE LOCAL STREET RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH FROM 50 FEET TO 44 FEET, AND THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR SIDEWALK ON ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE STREET AND SET ON INSTEAD OF BOTH SIDES.

AND I'LL JUST TAKE YOU TO THE SITE PLAN REAL QUICK TO, AS WE'RE DISCUSSING THE VARIANCE.

SO THE PURPOSE OF THE VARIANCE IS THAT THE STREET IS LOCATED ON ONE SIDE OF THE NARROW PROPERTY.

SO THE SIDEWALK WOULD ONLY BE ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.

UM, NOT HAVING A SIDEWALK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET WOULD ALLOW FOR THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE A BUFFER ADJACENT TO CRAB APPLE TRACE AND IN ONE OF THE UNPLATTED LOTS, UH, TO THE WEST, UH, BUFFERS ARE NOT REQUIRED BY CODE RESIDENTIAL TO RESIDENTIAL.

UM, BUT UH, THAT VARIANCE WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ROOM FOR THEM TO PROVIDE A BUFFER.

IN FACT, THEY'RE PROVIDING, THEY DO INDICATE A BUFFER ON BOTH THE WEST AND EAST SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

WE DID LOOK AT SOME, UH, OTHER SUBDIVISIONS IN THE AREA AND WE DID FIND THAT THE GREENSLEY AND MAYFIELD STATE SUBDIVISIONS HAVE SIMILAR RIGHT OF AWAY WIDTHS.

SO THEY DO HAVE REDUCED RIGHT OF AWAY WIDTHS IN THOSE SUBDIVISIONS.

AND THEN LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN, THIS IS THE FOUR AND A HALF ACRE PROPERTY.

UH, THE SITE PLAN, UH, DEPICTS THIS PROPERTY BEING SUBDIVIDED INTO FIVE, UH, DETACHED LOTS.

IT IS A GATED SUBDIVISION.

ACCESS IS FROM MAYFIELD ROAD.

UH, THE LOTS ARE ALL OR LOTS ARE ALL ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND ORIENTED TO THE NEW PRIVATE STREET.

THE PAVED WIDTH OF THAT STREET IS 28 FEET.

IT'S GOT A FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE STREET WITH A SIX FOOT PLANTER.

AND THEN AS YOU CAN SEE, THE, THE STREET TERMINATES IN A, UH, CUL-DE-SAC WITH A CENTER MEDIAN.

THE LOTS ON THE SITE PLAN RANGE IN SIZE FROM ABOUT 24,500 SQUARE FEET TO JUST OVER 25,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND THE AVERAGE LOT SIZE IS 24,735 SQUARE FEET.

[00:25:02]

HOWEVER, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING 30,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS AND, AND PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, DID, UH, ACCEPT THAT RECOMMENDATION.

IF THIS WAS APPROVED AT MINIMUM 30,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, YOU WOULD LIKELY HAVE A FOUR LOT SUBDIVISION AND SIT AT THE FIVE LOT THAT YOU SEE HERE.

AS I MENTIONED, BUFFERS ARE NOT REQUIRED RESIDENTIAL TO RESIDENTIAL.

THE APPLICANT IS THOUGH SHOWING A 10 FOOT, UH, LANDSCAPE STRIP PLANTED TO BUFFER STANDARDS ALONG THE EAST SIDE, THE SOUTH SIDE.

AND THEN ON THE WEST SIDE, THEY HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO PROVIDE 15 FEET, UH, LANDSCAPE STRIP PLANTED TO BUFFER STANDARDS.

EACH OF THE HOMES WILL HAVE TWO SIDE-BY-SIDE PARKING SPACES IN A GARAGE, AS WELL AS THE CODE COMPLIANT DRIVEWAY WITH TWO ADDITIONAL SPACES.

THE 28 FOOT PAVED WIDTH OF THE STREET WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR GUESTS PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.

THIS PROPERTY HAS, UH, QUITE A NUMBER OF TREES.

MOST OF THE TREES ARE ON THE SOUTH, THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE PROPERTY.

UM, THEY'RE PRIMARILY HARDWOODS.

THERE ARE 19 SPECIMEN TREES ON THE TREE SURVEY AND ASSESSMENT THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDED.

UH, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO SAVE TWO SPECIMEN TREES AS WELL AS A SMALL GROUPING OF SMALLER OAKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY.

UM, THE CITY ARBOR REVIEWED THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST IN, UH, THE, OF COURSE, OUR TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE REQUIRES A DEVELOPER TO MAKE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO SAVE TREES.

CITY OF ARBORISTS.

AFTER REVIEWING THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST, UH, WENT OUT TO THE PROPERTY AND LOOKED AT THE TREES AND MADE A REC SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION OF TREE SAVES ON LOT ONE AS WELL AS, UM, UH, TREE SAVE IN THE, UH, CENTER MEDIAN OF THE CUL-DE-SAC.

AND THEN CITY ARBOR ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE APPLICANT MAKE EFFORTS TO SAVE ADDITIONAL TREE GROUPINGS AND TREES OF QUA QUALITY ON THE PROPERTY.

THE APPLICANT IS SHOWING AN UNDERGROUND STORM WATER FACILITY AT THE, UM, END OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO THE SOUTH END OF THE DEVELOPMENT, THAT AREA WOULD ALSO SERVE AS AN 11,000 SQUARE FOOT POCKET PARK.

AND THERE'S A MALE, UH, KIOSK, UM, RIGHT NEXT TO THAT POCKET PARK.

THESE ARE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE, UM, DEVELOPER OF THE TYPE OF HOME THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO CONSTRUCT IN THIS SUBDIVISION.

IN THE EXTERIOR MATERIALS THAT WE SEE IN THESE, UH, PHOTOGRAPHS ARE BRICK, STONE AND STUCCO.

OF COURSE, WE LOOKED AT THE APPLICANT'S REQUESTS AGAINST THE REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THE REZONING AND VARIANCE.

WE BELIEVE THE PROPOSAL WOULD BE SUITABLE AS IT RELATES TO THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADJACENT AND NEARBY PROPERTIES.

UM, OF COURSE, THE R 22 ZONING DISTRICT DOES MATCH THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NARROW SHAPE OF THE PROPERTY.

HOWEVER, WE DID LOOK AT THE, UH, SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND HOW THEY ARE DEVELOPED IN THE SMALLEST ADJACENT PROPERTIES APPROXIMATELY 30,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND WE DO RECOMMEND IF APPROVED THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE BE 30,000 SQUARE FEET IN ORDER TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THAT SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT PATTERN.

IT RELATES TO THE VARIANCE.

WE DO BELIEVE THAT THE PROPERTY HAS SOME EXCEPTIONAL AND PECULIAR CONDITIONS DUE TO, UH, THE LONG NARROW SHAPE OF THE PROPERTY.

UH, THE, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE VARIANCE WOULD, UH, ALLOW FOR THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS ADJACENT, UH, TO CRAB APPLE TRACE AND THE PROPERTIES TO THE EAST.

AND THEN WE ALSO NOTED THAT THE RIGHT OF WAY WIDTH THAT IS REQUESTED, UM, HAS BEEN APPROVED AT, UM, SOME NEARBY SUBDIVISIONS AT GREENSLEY AND MAYFIELD ESTATE.

THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE A CITIZEN PARTICIPATION REPORT.

UH, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY RECEIVED PUBLIC COMMENTS WITH CONCERNS REGARDING INCREASED TRAFFIC, TREE REMOVAL DENSITY, STORMWATER RUNOFF, UH, AND THEN THE APPLICANT ALSO PROVIDED SEVERAL LETTERS OF SUPPORT.

WILL SAY THAT THE COMMENT, A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT THE APPLICANT RECEIVED WERE, UH, BASED ON THE INITIAL SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, WHICH DID SHOW, UM, THE PROPERTY BEING SUBDIVIDED INTO NINE LOTS.

UH, THEY DID REDUCE THAT DOWN TO SIX LOTS AND DOWN TO FIVE LOTS.

[00:30:01]

THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING ON MAY 7TH.

UH, TOPICS THAT WERE DISCUSSED AT THAT MEETING INCLUDED STORMWATER POND DESIGN, STORMWATER DISCHARGE TREE REMOVE A, UH, THEY DISCUSS A TREE REMOVAL REQUEST REQUEST FOR A DETAIL OF THE 15 FOOT LANDSCAPE STRIP, UH, REQUEST FOR A SIX FOOT PRIVACY FENCE ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY, AND A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TREES BETWEEN THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTIES AND PROPOSE CUL-DE-SAC BELIEVE THOSE NEIGHBORS LIVE IN THIS VICINITY ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT SOUTHWEST CORNER, UM, OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

AND THEN STAFF DID RECEIVE SOME CORRESPONDENCE, UH, DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING, UM, FROM NEARBY PROPERTY OWNERS AND OPPOSITION.

THE CONCERNS THAT WERE VOICED IN THOSE COMMENTS INCLUDED DISRUPTION DURING CONSTRUCTION, UH, TRAFFIC, FINANCIAL BURDEN FROM INCREASED PROPERTY TAXES, TREE REMOVAL, LOSS OF GREEN SPACE DENSITY, LOSS OF PRIVACY, AND BUFFERING, UH, STORM WATER RUNOFF, UTILITY IMPACTS AND IMPACTS WILDLIFE.

AND THEN THIS ITEM WAS SHOWN TO THE COMMUNITY AT THE APRIL 8TH COMMUNITY ZONING INFORMATION MEETING.

THERE WERE VERY SIMILAR PUBLIC COMMENTS, UH, WITH SIMILAR CONCERNS.

AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS, THIS ITEM WAS CONSIDERED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT THEIR MAY 7TH MEETING.

THERE WERE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST CONCERNS OVER STORMWATER RUNOFF, TREE REMOVAL IMPACT WILDLIFE.

AFTER DISCUSSION PLANNING COMMISSION DEFERRED THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO THE JUNE 4TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, THEY ASKED THE APPLICANT TO RELOOK AT THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM LOT SIZE THE A THEY ASKED THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE A COMPLIANT TREE SAFE PLAN.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE A TREE SAFE PLAN THAT MET OUR REQUIREMENTS OF THE PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION AT THAT TIME.

AND THEN THEY ASKED THE APPLICANT TO MEET WITH THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORS THAT SPOKE IN OPPOSITION TO SEE IF THEY COULD WORK THROUGH THEIR CONCERNS.

AND THEN AT THE JUNE 4TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, THERE WAS ONE PUBLIC COMMENT IN OPPOSITION CONCERNS RELATED TO IMPACTS TO THE TREE CANOPY, STORMWATER RUNOFF.

THEY PREFERRED A FOUR LOT, UH, PLAN, UM, AND ASKED, UM, THE DEVELOPER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO ANY CONDITIONS PLACED ON THE PROPERTY.

AND ULTIMATELY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THE STAFF RECOMMENDED CONDITION CONDITIONS OF WHICH THERE ARE 18 CONDITIONS IN THE REPORT IN YOUR PACKETS.

AND THAT DOES INCLUDE CONDITION NUMBER TWO REQUIRING A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 30,000 SQUARE FEET.

AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. WOODMAN? COUNCILMAN DRISCOLL? GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

SO QUESTION FOR YOU ON THE 30,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS, YOU SAID THERE'S POTENTIALLY IT WOULD, IT WOULD GO DOWN TO FOUR, CORRECT.

BUT IN THAT, AND I I'VE GOTTA LOOK THROUGH ALL THE CONDITIONS.

SO PAR THERE, THE ADD THE ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE BUFFERS THAT THEY'VE PUT IN WHEN THEY'VE WENT FROM NINE TO SIX TO FIVE AND THEY'RE INCREASING THE BUFFER, IS IT A CONDITION THAT IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT THOSE WOULD STAY? SO IF IT WAS TO BE APPROVED AT 30,000 SQUARE FOOT, THE ADDITIONAL YEAH.

BUFFERS THAT THEY'VE PUT IN WOULD STAY IN PLACE, THOSE COULDN'T BE REMOVED TO? YEAH, GREAT QUESTION.

YES.

THE ANSWER IS YES.

YEAH, THE BUFFERS, IF THIS WAS APPROVED WITH MINIMUM 30,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS REQUIRING THEM TO MODIFY THE SITE PLAN IN INTO FOUR LOTS, THE PERIMETER BUFFERS THEY, THAT THE APPLICANT HAS COMMITTED TO THOSE WOULD REMAIN REMAIN.

YEAH.

AND THEN THE, THE SECOND, UH, QUESTION I HAVE THERE TO FOLLOW WOULD BE IF IT'S APPROVED HERE AT 30,000 SQUARE FOOT, THE FI THE FINAL PLAT HERE WE'RE, BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT FIVE LOTS WHERE AT ATTENTION HOW MUCH MOVEMENT IN THIS AND WHAT WOULD THAT PROCESS LOOK LIKE FROM HERE? YEAH.

BECAUSE OF THE LINEAR SHAPE OF THIS AND HOW IT'S JUST, IT'S SUBDIVIDED, THESE, THESE LOT LINES BETWEEN THESE WILL JUST LIKELY SHIFT DOWN A LITTLE BIT TO RESULT IN THESE, FOR EXAMPLE, THESE THREE LOTS PROBABLY BECOME, I'M SORRY, THESE FOUR LOTS BECOME THREE LOTS AND MAYBE THIS LOT GROWS A LITTLE BIT AND THIS ROUNDABOUT MOVES UP A TAD.

BUT THERE SHOULDN'T BE A LOT OF CHANGE TO THE STATE PLAN GOING FROM FIVE TO FOUR LOTS.

YEAH.

AND I GUESS THAT MOVEMENT THEN WOULD HELP ENCOURAGE THE ABILITY TO SAVE MORE OF THE TREES THAT, THAT WERE, THAT WERE THERE.

WE DO THINK THAT THE FOR LOT PLAN WOULD PROVIDE BETTER, MORE

[00:35:01]

PERFECT.

THANK YOU.

MM-HMM .

ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY.

THANK YOU, MICHAEL.

THANK YOU.

THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD.

GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY.

MY NAME'S DEN WEBB, 1105 WEST PEACH STREET STREET, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, 3 0 3 0 9 HERE ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT.

UH, LET ME INTRODUCE THE FOLKS HERE, HERE WITH, WITH ME FIRST.

UH, TO MY RIGHT IS WELL RAISING HER HAND AND TO HER RIGHT ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF MAYFIELD DEVELOPMENT.

JAMIE WONDER AND STEVEN BATES TO STEVEN'S RIGHT IS JOHN MURDER, WHO WAS OUR PROJECT ENGINEER, ALL ALREADY WILLING TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS, UH, IF NECESSARY.

LEMME TOUCH ON A COUPLE THINGS THAT MICHAEL, UH, MENTIONED IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER.

UH, FIRST OF ALL, AND I'VE GOT AN IMAGE OF THIS, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE MICHAEL WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SUBDIVISIONS NEARBY.

THE ONE HE MISSED WAS THE ONE ONE LOT EAST TO US, WHICH YOU SAW ON THAT IMAGE IS MARIGOLD ESTATES.

THAT'S A NEW SUBDIVISION, 11 LOTS DEVELOPED UNDER R 15.

IT'S ON THE GROUND NOW.

THERE IS NO VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION YET.

THE ROADS, UH, AND, AND INFRASTRUCTURE ARE IN.

SO THAT IS ACTUALLY, UH, ALSO A VERY CLOSE, UH, UH, SUBDIVISION TO US.

UH, AND MICHAEL MENTIONED TREES.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THAT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION ABOUT THE TREES.

THAT'S ACTUALLY WHY JOHN MURDER'S HERE, RIGHT? IN CASE WE, WE GET INTO THAT TODAY.

BUT THEY, AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE RECORD, I ASKED FOR A DEFERRAL WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

SO WE, WE HAD THE TWO NEIGHBORS TO OUR WEST WHO CAME AND HAD SOME, SOME ISSUES.

ONE SHOWED A VIDEO WITH A RUNOFF PROBLEM.

AND I WAS THE ONE WHO SAID, LOOK, I WANT TO GO MEET WITH THESE GUYS.

I WANT TO PRIMARILY UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT RUNOFF ISSUE IS, RIGHT? SO WE WENT TO THEIR BACKYARDS, WE TALKED, UH, THEY EXPLAINED, UH, WHAT THEIR CONCERNS WERE.

AND I'VE ADDED SOME CONDITIONS, WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT, UH, A LITTLE BIT LATER TO TRY AND ADDRESS THOSE TONIGHT.

UM, BUT IN ANY EVENT, IT IS CERTAINLY OUR INTENT TO MEET ALL REQUIREMENTS THAT THE TREE PRESERVATION, UH, ORDINANCE, WE DO AGREE WITH MOST OF THE THREE AREAS OR TREE SAVE AREAS THAT, THAT, UH, MR. SHOSTAK POINTED OUT.

BUT I'M GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LOT ONE AND THE PROBLEM THERE, THERE ARE TREES ON THAT LOT THAT REALLY ALMOST CONSUME ALL OF THE FRONTAGE, ALL THE BUILDABLE AREA ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF OUR INTERNAL ROAD.

AND SO WE'RE ASKING FOR A LITTLE RELIEF THERE.

UH, YOU, UH, COUNCILMAN DRISCOLL ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT THE IMPACT OF 30,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

IT'S NOT GONNA MAKE 'EM ANY DEEPER.

IT'LL JUST MAKE 'EM A LITTLE BIT WIDER IF THAT'S THE DIRECTION IT WENT.

SO THE, THE, THE, THE, THE GEOMETRY OF THE SITE IS ESSENTIALLY FIXED.

UH, AND LASTLY, UH, MR. WOODMAN MENTIONED, WE'VE GOTTEN SEVERAL LETTERS OF, OF SUPPORT.

WE'VE GOTTEN 23 LETTERS OF SUPPORT.

SO I JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT.

UH, LET ME TALK ABOUT A FEW THINGS, UH, HERE.

AND I'M TRYING NOT TO RELOW THE SAME GROUND.

BUT AGAIN, UH, MR. WOODMAN MENTIONED THAT WE ARE IN THE VERY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, UH, CHARACTER AREA UNDER THE COMP PLAN THAT ALLOWS TWO UNITS AN ACRE.

AS YOU HEARD, WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING TONIGHT AT FIVE LOTS IS ONLY ABOUT 1.08.

SO WE'RE SORT OF IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT RANGE.

UM, I WANNA TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE AREA AND WE'RE IN BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY THE ISSUE HERE.

UH, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL SEE OUR PROPERTY HERE OUTLINED IN BLUE.

UH, AGAIN, THAT'S 4.6 ACRES.

UH, YOU'LL NOTICE, UH, THIS DEVELOPMENT TO THE RIGHT IN PINK OR RED.

THAT IS THE MARIGOLD ESTATES DEVELOPMENT THAT I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT.

AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UH, THAT IN A MINUTE.

BUT AS YOU'LL SEE, WE ARE SURROUNDED BY A SEA OF PALE YELLOW.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE LOTS IS PALE YELLOW, IS ZONED R 15, WHICH ALLOWS 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

UH, AND IF YOU LOOK AT A CLOSER IMAGE OF OUR SITE, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT SEVEN OF THE LOTS THAT WE TOUCH ARE ALSO ZONED R 15, WHICH ALLOW FOR 15,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUMS AND THE ONE LOT TO OUR WEST OR NORTHWEST, ESSENTIALLY, THAT IS ZONED AG 15.

MISS WONDER LIVES IN.

SO SHE IS THE DEVELOPER HERE AND WILL BE REALLY THE MOST IMPACTED BY WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING HERE.

SO SEVEN OF EIGHT LOTS WE TOUCH ARE ACTUALLY ZONED R 15 NOW, WHICH AGAIN WOULD ALLOW, UH, FOUR 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

AGAIN, GOING BACK TO THIS IMAGE OF MAYFIELD, UH, ESTATES, AS I SAID.

AND IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT PROPERTY'S BEEN DEVELOPED.

THE ROAD'S IN THE, THE PIPE'S IN, UH, EVERYTHING BUT VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION IS THERE.

AND THAT SITE ONE LOT TO OUR EAST, UH, AGAIN, WE ARE HERE.

THAT'S MARIGOLD, UH, UH, ALLOWS AND IS DEVELOPED AT 15,000 SQUARE FEET.

UH, MINIMUM SQUARE FOOT LOTS.

I'M GONNA POINT OUT THIS DEVELOPMENT HERE TOO, 'CAUSE MICHAEL MENTIONED THIS IS, UH, MAYFIELD ESTATES.

THIS IS ONE THAT CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL JUST A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

IT WAS ZONED R 22, WHICH IS THE SAME DISTRICT WE'RE ASKING FOR HERE.

AND IT HAS A 25,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM.

AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE, UH, WE ARE TRYING TO GET SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT NUMBER OURSELVES.

HERE IS THE SITE.

OH, THAT'S, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL ITERATIONS OF THE SITE PLAN, BUT THIS IS THE CURRENT ONE.

AS MICHAEL MENTIONED, IT IS FIVE LOTS.

[00:40:01]

UH, AGAIN, SHRINKING THAT ROADWAY DOWN BY ABOUT FIVE FEET ALLOWS US TO EXPAND, UH, THE, UH, PLANTED BUFFER ON THAT PAGE NORTH SIDE, WHICH WE THINK IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE AGAIN, IF YOU LOOK AT, GO BACK TO THAT MAP, EVERYTHING AROUND US IS R 15.

WE THINK THERE'S EVERY REASON TO THINK THAT THE PROPERTIES TO OUR EAST WILL BE REDEVELOPED.

I THINK IT'S LESS LIKELY THAT IT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR, UH, TO OUR PAGE NORTH.

SO THAT'S WHY WE FOCUSED ON TRYING TO ADD TO THAT BUFFER THERE.

IT'S ALSO WHY WE SHIFTED EVERYTHING TO THE EAST.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT ALL THE DEVELOPMENT REALLY OCCURS ON THIS SIDE, WHICH AGAIN, WAS TO TO REMOVE IT FROM OUR PROPERTIES TO THE WEST, WHICH WE BELIEVE WILL BE REDEVELOPED AT SOME POINT, BUT, BUT MAY WELL MAINTAIN THEIR MINIMUM LOT SIZE.

MICHAEL SHOWED YOU THE HOUSE IMAGES, I'M NOT GONNA REALLY RIP THROUGH THOSE, BUT THE EXPECTED PRICE, UH, POINT FOR THESE PROPERTIES IS AROUND $4 MILLION.

ALRIGHT, LET ME GET TO SORT OF THE MAIN EVENT.

I, I, I MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNING THAT WE HAVE 23 LETTERS OF SUPPORT.

YOU HEARD THAT WE HAD A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FROM STAFF.

WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

UH, THERE ARE REALLY JUST TWO ISSUES I THINK AT THIS POINT.

AND THE FIRST IS WHAT MICHAEL TOUCHED ON, WHICH IS THE LOT SIZE.

AND SOME OF YOU MAY RECALL THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING AT THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

WE ACTUALLY STARTED WITH A NINE LOT PLAN THAT, UH, WAS DEVELOPED UNDER THE R 15 DISTRICT WITH THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE AT 15,000 SQUARE FEET.

WE SUBMITTED IT, IT WAS SOCIALIZED HERE IN THIS BUILDING.

AND THE MESSAGE WE GOT BACK IS WE'D RATHER SEE R 22 HERE.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE SUBMITTED.

THE FIRST SITE PLAN THAT WE SUBMITTED WAS FOR SIX LOTS, UH, ZONED AT R 22 WITH A MINIMUM LOT SIZE OF 22,000 SQUARE FEET.

WHEN WE GOT THE STAFF REPORT BACK, UH, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF CONDITIONS THAT WOULD'VE REQUIRED CHANGES TO THE SITE PLAN.

SO WE WENT AHEAD AND TRIED TO WORK THROUGH THOSE BEFORE WE EVEN WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

AND WE MADE ALMOST ALL OF THOSE CHANGES, WHICH AGAIN REQUIRED SOME EDITS TO THE SITE PLAN, ONE OF WHICH WAS REDUCING OUR LOT SIZE FROM FIVE TO SIX.

SO THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

BUT THE STAFF AS HEARD, IS RECOMMENDING A 30,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM.

AND WE TRIED TO SEE IF WE COULD MEET THAT BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING.

THE CLOSEST WE COULD GET THE SMALLEST LOT IS NOW 24,600 SQUARE FEET.

AGAIN, REMEMBER THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED JUST A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

MAYFIELD ESTATES AT 25,000 SQUARE FEET RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, BUT OUR SMALLEST LOT WOULD BE 24,600 SQUARE FEET.

EVERY OTHER, UH, LOT WOULD BE LARGER.

UH, AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE THINK OUR REQUEST IS REASONABLE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, WHICH I THINK I'VE ARTICULATED TO SOME OF YOU FOLKS IN AN EMAIL.

BUT NUMBER ONE, SEVEN TO EIGHT LOTS WE TOUCH ARE, AGAIN, R 15, WHICH TOMORROW COULD BE DEVELOPED WITH 15,000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS WITH NO, UH, APPROVALS NECESSARY.

UH, MOST OF THE LOTS IN THIS AREA, WHICH IS SEEING REDEVELOPMENT ALREADY IS EVIDENCED BY MARIGOLD ESTATES AS EVIDENCED BY MAYFIELD ESTATES.

UH, IS R 15 NOW AND WILL BE DEVELOPED UNDER R 15.

UM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, WE EXPECT REDEVELOPMENT TO OUR EAST.

WE THINK THAT'S THE MOST LIKELY.

THAT'S WHY WE'VE SHIFTED THE HOUSES TO THE EAST, UH, AND FOCUSED ON SORT OF THAT, UH, DEVELOPMENT SIDE.

AND AGAIN, MAYFIELD, THE STATES, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET, HAS A 25,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM.

WE'RE ASKING FOR 24,600, 400 SQUARE FEET, LESS THAN YOU GUYS APPROVED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

UH, AND THAT IS REFLECTED IN CONDITION NUMBER TWO.

YOU CAN SEE WE SIMPLY AMENDED THAT LANGUAGE FROM 30,000 SQUARE FEET TO 24,000 SQUARE FEET.

THE OTHER CONDITION I WANNA TALK ABOUT RELATES TO TREES.

UH, YOU KNOW, THE LANGUAGE PROPOSED BY STAFF WAS THAT WE BASICALLY SAVED TWO OF FOUR SPECIMEN OAKS ON LOT ONE, GET TO THE RIGHT SITE PLAN HERE.

AND THIS IS LOT ONE RIGHT HERE.

JUST REALLY RELATES TO THAT ONE LOT.

AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE'VE GOT TREES ON THAT SITE NOW, WHICH REALLY IMPACT THE BUILDABLE AREA.

AND THIS IS AN IMAGE HERE.

YOU'LL SEE A, A 10,000 SQUARE FOOT IMAGE OF LOT ONE HERE.

YOU'LL NOTICE THESE BUBBLES HERE ALONG OUR DRIVEWAY.

I'VE GOT A CLOSEUP IMAGE OF THAT.

THESE ARE THE TREES THAT MR. SHOSTAK WANTS TO SAVE.

NUMBER ONE, WE ARE ABSOLUTELY AGREEABLE TO SAVING TWO SPECIMENS ON LOT ONE, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE DIFFERENT OPTIONS OVER THERE, AND WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO, UH, MAKE THAT CHOICE.

ONE IS A MAPLE HERE, WHICH IS A FANTASTIC TREE RIGHT ALONG MAYFIELD, UH, ROAD.

AND THERE'S A 15 INCH OAK HERE, WHICH WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAVE AS OUR SECOND SPECIMEN TREE.

THE THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THAT YOU'LL SEE THAT THE BUILDABLE AREA IS EATEN UP BY THESE ROOT BALLS, AND WE'VE GOTTA GET A DRIVEWAY INTO LOT ONE.

AND WE KNOW THAT EVEN IF WE CUT ONE IN, IF WE, EVEN IF WE TRY AND SAVE ONE OF THESE TREES, UH, PARTICULARLY 2 91 AND 2 93, THE CRITICAL ROOT ZONE'S GONNA BE IMPACTED TO THE EXTENT WHERE THOSE TREES WON'T SURVIVE.

WE KNOW WE CAN SAVE 15, UH, THAT 15 INCH OAK, WHICH IS WHY WE'RE ASKING, UH, FOR THE LEEWAY ON THE CONDITION NUMBER 11, WHICH RELATES TO TREES.

UH, LASTLY, I MENTIONED THAT WE HAD HAD SOME MEETINGS WITH NEIGHBORS.

WE'VE ADDED THESE CONDITIONS HERE AS NUMBER

[00:45:01]

AND I WILL, UH, STOP HERE, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR CONDITION OR ANY OTHERS.

THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? COUNCILMAN DORITO? THANK YOU MAYOR FOR TIM.

GOOD EVENING, MR. WEBB.

GOOD EVENING.

UM, DO YOU KNOW OF HAND, UH, YOU REFERENCED MAYFIELD ESTATES A FEW TIMES, UH, IN YOUR PRESENTATION, WHAT, WHAT'S THE, THE WIDTH OF THAT STRIP VERSUS THE WIDTH OF IT'S COMPARABLE? SO THIS IS THE MAYFIELD ESTATES.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DIMENSIONS, BUT THIS IS THE MAYFIELD ESTATE SITE PLAN.

IT LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE OURS.

UH, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN BLOW THIS UP AND SEE.

I'M, I'M, I I GUESS I'M ASKING, IS IT, IS IT THE WIDTH? LARGER, BIGGER? I THINK IT'S COMPARABLE.

UH, I DON'T, I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN BLOW THIS UP AND GET IT THERE.

IT'S, I'M SURE IT'S ON HERE.

HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

MAKE THIS BIGGER.

ALL RIGHT.

THIS LINE HERE.

IT, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A GUESS 'CAUSE I'M TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER THESE LINES.

I, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S AROUND 150 FEET TO 200 FEET WIDE, WHICH IS COMPARABLE TO WHAT TWO.

COMPARABLE TO, YES.

OKAY.

UM, YOU, YOU SHOWED LOT ONE AND THE TREE SAFE AND YES, SIR.

DIFFICULTY WITH ONE OF THE TREES WITH THE DRIVEWAY.

UM, HOW MANY, UM, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A QUESTION FOR YOU OR TO MR. WOODMAN.

I DON'T THINK OUR TREE, OUR ARBORIST IS HERE.

IS HE, UM, HOW MANY SPECIMEN TREES ARE IN THAT AREA IN THE FRONT? 'CAUSE YOU MADE REFERENCE TO LIKE, A LOT OF THEM WERE KIND OF IMPEDING UPON LOT ONE AND HAD TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE OF THAT.

SO I'M AWARE OF FOUR, RIGHT? THESE THREE HERE, 2 93 AND 2 91, THE 15 INCH OAK.

AND THIS MAPLE, WHICH IS MARKED AS TWO 90, WE'RE PROPOSING TO SAVE TWO OF THE FOUR.

WOULD, UH, TACK HAS ASKED US TO SAVE TWO OF THE FOUR.

HE JUST WANTS A DIFFERENT TWO.

OKAY.

AND, AND FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, WHAT, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT HE WANTS SAVED VERSUS WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO? LIKE WHY, WHY WOULD HE WANNA SAVE CERTAIN TREES? ARE THEY, WELL, I MEAN, THAT'S HIS JOB.

ARE THEY LARGER WIDTH OR ? UH, YOU KNOW, THE TYPE OF TREE, JOHN, THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU, JOHN.

I, I WASN'T IN THE MEETINGS WITH MR. SHOSTAK, AS I MENTIONED, AFTER THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE SAT DOWN WITH HIM AGAIN, UH, TO MAKE SURE WE WERE DOING EVERYTHING WE COULD THERE.

AND MAYBE I NEED TO TURN THAT QUESTION, UH, JOHN KINLEY HORN.

UM, I CAN'T, I DON'T WANNA SPEAK FOR DAVID AS TO WHAT HE WAS THINKING.
