NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO HOW IS IT SET UP? FOR CITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE? REVIEWED THIS PLOT AND HAS DISSOLVED SEVERAL COMMENTS, BUT STILL SOME COMMENTS REMAINING UNRESOLVED. AND THE RECOMMENDS[00:05:01]
THE COMMISSION APPROVED THE PLAN FILE WITH THE COMMISSION PROVIDED THAT PLACES. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE THAT WE HAVE READ THEM OFF TO YOU. AND BASICALLY ABOUT TEN OR ABOUT OF GRAVEL. THE BODY OF A NEW PLAN, OR CLARIFY THE PLAN IS TO CONSTRUCT ALL PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE FROM ONE THROUGH SIX AT ONCE. COORDINATE WITH THE ISSUE OF EASEMENTS AND PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S PROPOSED. JUST WORKING WITH JACK IN THE BOX AND OTHERS, THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, MICHAEL GIBBONS, HAD A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT. DIFFERENT WIDTHS, AND HE NOTED THAT THE WATER SUPPLIER IS AT EAST SIDE AND THE CITY OF COLORADO. AND THAT IS REACHED. TRACKING CELLS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PLANS. THIS IS PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE DETAIL THAN WE USED SOME OF THE CLASS, AND I THINK IT'S VISUAL INCLUDED FOR THAT TO ENSURE ITS CAPTURE BY THE CITY PLANNERS. THE PROPOSED SIX X LOTS IS NOT A DEVELOPABLE LOT, AS PRIMARILY FOR AN ANCIENT AREA. AND TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE PRIVATE MAINTENANCE OF THAT AREA AND NOT IN CITY FUNDING FOR THAT MAINTENANCE. THE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REQUEST THAT IT BE INCLUDED WITHIN THE PROPOSED LOT SIX OR. PROBABLY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, BE FORMULATED AND NOTED ON THE PLOT THAT THAT WAS QUITE HUGE AND MAKING THAT DECISION AREA. CONDITION NUMBER FIVE IS THE PROPOSED RANGES THAT LABELS SET TO CHANGE TO PRIVATE LAND EASEMENTS AND PRIVATELY MAINTAINED, THAT CORRESPONDS WITH ONE OF THE CITY'S THIRD PARTY ENGINEER COMMENTS THAT I WISH TO LINGER. THE NOTE OF THE F YOU OKAY F A V MUST BE CHANGED TO PRIVATE ACCESS AND PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION THAT THE ACCESS IS NOT GOING TO BE PUBLICLY MAINTAINED IS PRIVATELY MAINTAINED AS THE STATEMENT OF GENERAL. BUT SURELY WOULD BE PUBLICLY. PUBLIC UTILITIES.COMMISSION SEVEN. CLARIFY. PERHAPS WITH THE LABEL THAT APPEARS TO BE THE PREFERRED ELECTRIC EASEMENT OR TEMPLATE FOR CHILDREN IN THE SOUTHWEST END OF THE PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT AND BLOCK SIX ON SHEET TWO OF THREE. SHEET EIGHT, IN THE SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, SHOWING ONE AND THREE FOR THE CALL OUT ELECTRIC EASEMENT AND DETAIL A THERE ARE A ON SHEET TWO AT THREE COLORADO SPRINGS CONCERNS, SO WE ASK FOR CLARIFICATION THERE. COMMISSION OF THE PRIVATE ACCESS MUST BE EXTENDED TO THE PROPERTY LINES OF LOTS FOUR ONE THROUGH FOUR, BLOCK A AND B FIVE ADDITION. AND CONDITION TEN. A NOTE MUST BE ADDED TO THE FIVE, INDICATING THAT THE EITHER ACCESS EASEMENT SERVE ONE THROUGH SIX. BLOCK A WITH AN ASPIRING MUSICIAN.
BLOCK FOR BLOCK A OF THE CBS RADIO ADDITION AND TRACK SEVEN, B AND EIGHT ON THE PULSE SURVEY ABSTRACT 48. AND WHAT THAT'S FOR IS TO CLARIFY WHO HAS PERMISSION TO FOR CROSS ACCESS TO DRIVE THEIR PROPERTY TO TO OTHER PROPERTIES AND AND AND SHARE ACCESS ONLY TO ACCESS TO THE MOTOR NETWORK. AND THEN LASTLY THE CITY THIRD PARTY ENGINEER HAD A COUPLE COMMENTS TO ADD A UTILITY SERVICE NOTE. AND TO ADD A NOTE TO ADVISE TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE DETENTION FACILITY. AND WITH THAT, I'LL DO MY PRESENTATION. BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS OF THE COMMISSION. WE ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. I
[00:10:08]
HAVE A QUESTION. SO THIS AREA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS BEHIND CACTUS JACK'S GOING LIKE THE SEA AROUND WHAT'S CURRENTLY CACTUS JACK CVS AND JACK IN THE BOX. RIGHT? RIGHT. SO WE HAVE AN EXIT OFF 35. CORRECT. WHERE IS THAT RIGHT THERE. YES. YES. SO HOW ARE PEOPLE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THESE THINGS. YOU KNOW. SO BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE SO MUCH CONGESTION AND WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING YEARS OUT I'M SURE. BUT EVENTUALLY, HOPEFULLY TEX-DOT IS GOING TO FIX OUR 35 AND 67 INTERCHANGE. BUT HOW FAR IS THAT? IS DOES THE FAR YELLOW GO LIKE ALL THE WAY TO GRANDVIEW BANK, OR IS THAT ONE MORE OVER GRANDVIEW BANK? OKAY, OKAY, SO WE'RE TALKING. THIS IS THE HOUSE RENTAL. GOTCHA, GOTCHA, GOTCHA. OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. I JUST NEEDED LANDMARKS SO I COULD KIND OF SEE. OKAY. THERE. OKAY. TRAFFIC SIGNAL. PROPOSED AT THIS. GOOD LOCATION. OKAY. FOR ONE OF THE PRIMARY ENTRANCES TO THE SITE, THIS ENTRANCE WOULD REMAIN.THEY HAVE THIS ENTRANCE REMAINING. THAT WOULD ALLOW ACCESS HERE AND RESTAURANT HERE THAT WILL HAVE A SHARED ACCESS THAT DOESN'T DEAL WITH THE BLACK BOX. THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY CONTINUE TO THE ASPIRING MISSION. AND AND THEN POTENTIALLY ADDITIONAL ACCESS ALONG. THE 3500. OKAY. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN. YEAH. SO.
MAKE THEM PROVE IT. ARE YOU READY FOR ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MOTION TO APPROVE AS WRITTEN ON THE PROPOSAL FOR REVIEW COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION OF THE TO RECOMMEND TO CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS DATED. ANY COMMENTS? YEAH. I'LL DO THAT. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. SORRY. SO THIS FOR YOU THAT GOES DOWN THE CENTER OF THE OF THE PLOT. I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND. I WAS LOOKING AT EVERYTHING. I WASN'T REALLY LISTENING. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A MAIN ROAD. IT'S NOT A ROAD. IT'S WHAT I WOULD CALL A DRIVE PRIVATE. LIKE YOU THINK OF A PARKING LOT, YOU DRIVE THROUGH A PARKING LOT. THAT'S JUST A JUST A DRIVE, OKAY? AND A U E STANDS FOR FIRE LANE ACCESS. AND SO THE EASEMENT. SO IF YOU DON'T WANT FIRE LANES SHOWN ON THE PLAT, BECAUSE IF WE HAVE TO CHANGE A FIRE LANES, ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS TO JUST CHANGE THE FILE IN THE FIRE CODE COVERS US WITH REQUIRING THE FIRE TO BE THERE AND STRIKE AND PART TO REGULATE HOW THE FILING THE STRIKE. SO WE'RE MORE CONCERNED WITH THE COST ACCESS BETWEEN ALL THE LOTS SO THAT SOMEONE AT POPEYES DOESN'T HAVE TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE FRONTAGE ROADS TO LEAVE, TO GO TO. ANOTHER, ANOTHER CBS OR SOMETHING LOT AND WAS VIOLATION. OKAY. I JUST I WAS LISTENING KINDA ABOUT SOMEBODY HAS TO DO THE UPKEEP OF WHAT MAINTENANCE. DID I HEAR THAT WRONG? YES. THE THE PRIVATE ACCESS DRIVES. THEY WILL BE PRIVATE. THEY PAIN NUMBER SEVEN. YEAH. OKAY. DRIVE THROUGH PARKING LOTS, FOR EXAMPLE. THOSE WOULD BE PRIVATE. AND ANYTHING THAT THE CITY IS ABLE TO PLUG INTO THE MAINTENANCE ON. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THE LIGHTS ARE INSTALLED AND ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT HAPPEN. SO IT'S A SAFE ADDITION TO OUR
[00:15:10]
CITY. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE WE'RE DOING WE'RE REALLY FLAT AND REALLY A FINAL PLAT SUBMITTED THAT MAY BE FOR THE ENTIRE PLOT OR MAYBE JUST FOR 1 OR 2 LOTS AND, AND THEN THE OTHER LOTS COME LATER. BUT HOWEVER IT IS TO LIMIT THOSE THOSE FINAL PLAT, SOME OF THOSE WOULD GO THROUGH THE PLANS AND THE COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL FOR ACTION. AND PRIOR TO THAT, WE SHOULD HAVE THE PLANS. REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY CITY STAFF FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL FOR THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. AND AND THEN THAT FINAL SLIDE IS APPROVED WITH THOSE CONDITIONS THAT THAT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE BE IN PLACE FOR, THAT QUALIFIES FOR. OKAY. BECAUSE THAT AREA IS ALREADY A MESS. AND I MEAN, ADDING, I MEAN, I'M ALL FOR GROWTH AND THAT'S GREAT, BUT WE HAVE GOT TO GET CONTROL OVER THAT TRAFFIC SITUATION THERE. YES. WE'RE, WE'RE WE'RE THINKING THE MAJOR ANSWER HERE IS GOING TO BE A BIG HELP IN LOBBYING THE STATE TO GET SOME PEOPLE TO THIS INTERSECTION. SO WHAT TIME FRAME ARE WE TALKING ABOUT AS THIS COMES THROUGH ACTUALLY BREAKING GROUND AND SEEING SOMETHING? THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD QUESTION FOR THE.APPLICANT. IF THEY HAVE THAT FOR SURE. YEAH WE HAVE IT'S AT THE IT'S AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
IT'S AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. SORRY. YEAH. SO CAN WE CAN WE MOURN WITH THOSE WHO LIVE HERE FOR THIS PROJECT? I MEAN THE TIME FRAME FOR FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT, YOU KNOW. WILL BE HERE. WHAT CAN WE DO? ALL THE THINGS. BUT FOR THE THE BIG ANCHOR ON THE SITE, REALLY? AS SOON AS YOU CAN GET THROUGH ALL THE FUNDING THAT WE NEED TO GET THROUGH WITH STAFF AND THE TIME THAT IT TAKES FOR CONSTRUCTION, THAT WE DO. SO NORMALLY IN PREVIOUS ESTIMATES, ABOUT TWO OR SO YEARS. OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. AND THE ANCHORS ON THE 67 SIDE NOT ON THE 35 SIDE. CORRECT.
YOU'RE SAYING THE MAIN ANCHOR WOULD BE ON THE 67. CORRECT. IT'S KIND OF IN THE. SO THAT WOULD BE LOT SIX ISH. YES OKAY. YEAH OKAY. AND ALL THESE ADS, MR. RYAN WITH THE ANCHOR TENANT ABOUT WORK WITH THE CITY STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN WORK WITH THE STATES TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS PERFECT. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? NO.
