ADAM? >> ON THE PLAT AT FAIRWAY OAKS, THERE IS ON NOTE 6, IT IS DEDICATED TO THE CITY AS AN OPEN SPACE AREA. DOES THE CITY HAVE PLANS FOR THAT AREA?
>> NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE AS OF RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE DEDICATED.
>> DOES THE CITY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN THAT?
>> BEFORE WE GO TO THE VOTE, WE NEED TO KNOW FOR CERTAIN.
NORMALLY, WE DON'T NORMALLY HAVE AN OBLIGATION FOR A PLAT LIKE THIS, UNLESS IT IS A PARK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THAT ISSUE. WE WILL TALK
TO THE DEVELOPER. >> IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ANYWAY. OKAY. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR ADAM? THANK YOU,
ADAM. >> ON THE PUBLIC HEARING, WOULD
[00:05:04]
ANYBODY LIKE TO ADDRESS ANY ONE OF THE THREE OF THESE TRAN01S? THAT'S IT? I HAVE THE STEELE ADDITION.>> PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> DON STEELE.
>> THANKS. >> I HAVE THE STEELE ADDITION, I GUESS IT IS AROUND 37 ACRES. WE HAD IT IN TWO PLATS . YEARS AGO WE BUILT A SOCCER COMPLEX. WE TOOK FIVE ACRES OUT FOR THE STEELE LANDSCAPE AND THEN THE OTHER WAS DEVOTED FOR A SOCCER COMPLEX WE BUILT. OF COURSE, COVID SHUT US DOWN. THAT WAS TWO YEARS AND THAT WE COULD NOT AFFORD TO KEEP IT UP SO WE SHUT IT DOWN. IN 2000, WHEN WE BUILT THIS, THEY HAD US PUT IN MONEY FOR THE SEWER. IT TOOK CARE OF 3000 PLUS PEOPLE ON THE WEEKENDS. NOW THAT I TOOK THREE ACRES OFF THE FIVE ACRE PLAT, BECAUSE WE SOLD TWO ACRES AND THE LANDSCAPE BUILDING. KNOW IT WILL BE A TWO ACRE PLAT ON 35.SOMETHING ACRES . THE TWO ACRE PLOT HAS SEWER AND THE 35. SOMETHING ACRE PLAT WILL HAVE SEWER. BECAUSE WE TURNED IT INTO A 2 ACRE PLAT, THE SEWER ON THE 35 ACRE PLAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, I DON'T KNOW. THE CITY TOLD ME I WAS CAN HAVE TO PAY $20,000 TO UPGRADE ON THE SEWER. I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE I NEEDED TO BE RESPONSIBLE , I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE REASON WHY , TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.
THEY ALREADY HAVE SEWER GOING TO THEM . NOW THAT I BROKE THREE ACRES OUT OF THE FIVE I NEED TO COMBINE THE TWO SEWERS TOGETHER? I AM NOT FOR SURE. SO, I AM HERE TO ASK WHY I AM OBLIGATED TO CONNECT THE SEWERS TOGETHER ?
>> ADAM, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. I AM AN ENGINEERING CO. TRAINING WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING DIVISION. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF OUR UTILITY ENGINEER. KIND OF BACKGROUND ON THIS, OUR RECORDS CURRENTLY DON'T INDICATE THAT THE 35 ACRE LOT THAT HE IS TRYING TO PLAT OFF HAS ACCESS ON SEWER TO HIS FRONTAGE. PER THE LDC, SECTION 3.2.5.1 AND 3.2.512, EVERY LOT WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS THAT HAS REASONABLE ACCESS TO SEWER SERVICES MUST BE SERVED. I DON'T KNOW THE FULL BACKGROUND ON THIS. AS I SAY, BY OUR RECORDS, IT DOES NOT SHOW THIS LOT HAS APPROPRIATE ACCESS TO SEWER. SO I BELIEVE THE REQUEST TO UPGRADE AND EXTEND THE SEWER COMES FROM THAT REQUIREMENT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THE SEWER THAT ORIGINALLY, THE SEWER LINE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY FOR THE WHOLE 37 ACRES IS NOW FOR LOT 101 AND THERE IS NO SEWER GOING TO IT?
>> YES. >> THAT MAY BE THE CASE. I HAVE NOT VERIFIED IT. OUR RECORDS DO NOT INDICATE THAT. WE WOULD HAVE TO GO OUT TO THE FIELD TO VERIFY THAT FACT. I HAVE NOT BEEN THE AGENT RESPONSIBLE FOR VIEWING AND REQUESTING THESE UPGRADES. I AM SIMPLY SPEAKING ON HIS BEHALF.
>> SURE. OKAY. I GUESS THE SEWER COMES DOWN FROM THE NORTH
AND? >> IT COMES FROM THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH. OUR RECORDS INDICATE THAT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PROPERTY FRONTAGE THERE IS SEWER WITHIN 150 FEET. IT DOES NOT SHOW TO EXTEND ALL THE WAY.
>> SO NORTH -- >> HANG ON. WE WILL NEED YOU TO COME TO THE MICROPHONE. GO AHEAD, THANK YOU. APPRECIATE
IT. OKAY, DON. >> SO ON THE CORNER OF SOUTH 27TH AND MAPLE, WHICH IS THE FIVE ACRES, THE SEWER COMES UP THERE TO THE 2717 MAPLE BUILDING. AND THEN BACK IN AND
[00:10:13]
2000, THE CITY HAD US PUT IN A PUMP STATION FOR 3025. THAT WAS TO ACCOMMODATE, LIKE I SAID, 3000 KIDS PLUS SIBLINGS AND WHAT ALL IT WAS ON THE WEEKENDS. SO WE DID THAT ALSO.SO WE COULD HAVE SEWER ON 3025. SO WE HAVE SEWER ON BOTH ENDS ON THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY AND ON THE SOUTH END, THEY JUST DON'T CONNECT. SEEING HOW, LIKE I SAID, TOOK THREE ACRES OFF THE FIVE, NOW IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. I CHANGED THE BOUNDARIES BUT THEY BOTH STILL HAVE SEWER. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE CITY, BACK IN AND 2000, LIKE I SAID, HAD US PUT IN A PRETTY EXPENSIVE PUMP STATION ON 3025. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CITY CONNECTED INTO THAT NORTH OMAK. -- NORTH AND.
EVIDENTLY, THEY HOOKED INTO IT TO WHERE IT IS 10 FEET NORTH OF THE PROPERTY LINES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? SO THEY WANT TO EXTEND IT. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY WANT TO EXTEND IT AND CONNECT THEM BOTH TOGETHER NOW. I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT IS MY EXPENSE TO INCUR.
>> THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE NOT PRIVY TO LOOK AT AND WORK ON FOR OUR MEETING. WE ARE JUST HERE TO SET THE PLATS BUT THERE ARE CONDITIONS THAT COME WITH THE PLAT.COM AND THE SEWER LINE COMES UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS. SO IF YOU CAN PROVE TO THE CITY THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY, BASED ON THAT, THEY SHOULD BE FINE.
WE WILL APPROVE THE PLAT HERE AND THEN THAT WILL ALLOW THAT TO MOVE FORWARD . THEY CAN FILE THAT. THERE IS A CONDITION AND HE IS RIGHT, WE CAN'T SEPARATE THE LOTS, WE ONLY HAVE ACCESS TO CERTAIN THINGS, WATER AND SEWER ARE SEPARATED ON THOSE LOTS SO THAT WILL JUST BE AN INSTANCE WHERE YOU ARE WORKING WITH THE CITY TO GET APPROVAL . THAT IS WHAT IS THERE.
>> SO AS LONG AS THERE IS SEWER AND WATER?
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THERE.
>> I DON'T, EITHER. I KNOW WE WERE APPROVED BACK IN 2000.
THAT WAS FOR SEWER AND WATER. SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEING GRANDFATHERED IN AND NOW YOU HAVE MOVED THE BOUNDARIES, NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. YOU STILL HAVE SEWER AND WATER. I
DON'T UNDERSTAND. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE USE OF THAT IS SO I CAN'T SAY IF YOUR SERVICES ARE
ADEQUATE OR NOT. >> WHICH ONE IS CONSIDERED, THE 35 ACRE ONE? IT WAS 33. NOW IT IS 35. OKAY, THE OTHER ONE WAS
FIVE AND NOW IT IS TWO. >> OKAY.
>> AS HE SAID, THEY WILL COME OUT AND DO A FIELD TEST AND SEE IF YOU ARE IN COMPLIANCE FOR EXACTLY WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE OR IF THAT IS A PUBLIC PERMIT THAT IS CONDITIONAL ON THE PLAT BEING FILED. IF WE WERE APPROVING IT TODAY, WE WOULD JUST BE PUSHING IT TO COME OUT TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.
>> WHERE DO I FIND THAT OUT AT, WHEN IT COMES TO WHETHER OR NOT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE, THOSE EXTRA 15 FEET OF SEWER ?
>> THAT HAS TO BE WORKED OUT WITH THE ENGINEERING GROUP.
PUBLIC WORKS . OKAY? ¿ THANK YOU.
>> IF YOU WOULD, IF THE OUTCOME IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PLAT TODAY, HE COULD WAIVE HIS RIGHT TO THE 30 DAY REVIEW AND BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH AND HOPEFULLY BY THEN HE CAN TAKE IT UP FOR CONSIDERATION AT THAT POINT.
>> YEAH, I MEAN, MY THINKING WAS, GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE , YEAH, IF HE WORKS WITH YOU NOW , IF WE APPROVE THE PLAT AND HE WORKS WITH YOU NOW ON THESE CONDITIONS, IT SEEMS LIKE THE
SAME PROCESS. >> I THINK HE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THAT . IF HE WANTS TO WAIVE HIS RIGHT TO THE 30 DAY REVIEW, YOU CAN CONSIDER THAT AS AN OPTION , IF THAT IS WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH THE PLAT BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD TO
APPROVE IT. >> YOU DO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS
SAYING, DON? >> YES, IT IS SUPPOSED TO CLOSE MAY 31ST . I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD EXTEND THAT PROCESS. IF IT WAS PASSED TODAY, I DON'T KNOW , DO THEY EVEN KNOW IF IT IS ADEQUATE, HAVE THEY LOOKED AT IT?
>> THE DON WILL MISS PLAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE COUNTY SO
[00:15:05]
THEY WOULD NOT SIGN OFF ON THE PLAT UNTIL THE SEWER LINE WAS IN THERE, IF IT HAS TO BE THERE.>> SO MY QUESTION THEN IS HOW WHY WAS THE SEWER ADEQUATE THE LAST 24 YEARS AND NOW IT IS NOT? FOR THAT PROPERTY?
>> I CAN ANSWER THAT. >> THAT IS WHY I AM HERE TO TRY TO GET AN ANSWER FOR. WHY WAS THAT GOOD FOR 24 YEARS AND NOW IT IS NOT. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME. IT IS REALLY, REALLY AGGRAVATING KNOWING THAT IT WAS GOOD FOR 33 ACRES AND 3000 KIDS BUT IT IS NOT GOOD FOR 35 ACRES. WE NO LONGER HAVE 3000 KIDS BECAUSE THE PANDEMIC SHUT US DOWN.
>> CAN YOU -- >> MR. STEELE, TO CLARIFY YOUR CONCERNS HERE, THE ISSUE ISN'T THAT WE BELIEVE THE SEWER CAPACITY IS AN ADEQUATE CURRENTLY. THE ISSUE IS MOST LIKELY RECORD-KEEPING. IF I WERE TO TAKE A GANDER, WE CURRENTLY , DURING THE PLAT STAGE, WE ARE TYPICALLY NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SUFFICIENT, ESPECIALLY IF WE DON'T KNOW FUTURE CONDITIONS.
OUR RECORDS DO NOT INDICATE THERE IS SEWER ACCESS ON THE FRONTAGE OF ONE OF THE TWO PROPERTIES . BY THAT, WE ARE REQUIRED TO ASK AN EXTENSION TO PROVE THAT SEWER IS ON THE FRONTAGE. IT IS NOT SO MUCH THAT CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED, IT IS JUST SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY SOMETHING MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN LOST OR MISCOMMUNICATED AND WE ARE JUST TRYING TO IRON THAT
OUT AND FIGURE IT OUT. >> HAS ANYONE BEEN OUT THERE TO
CHECK IT? >> I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF ANYONE HAS BEEN OUT THERE. I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS. I CAN CHECK BACK WITH MY PEOPLE AND WE CAN TRY TO GET AN ANSWER TO YOU TO SEE WHERE THAT ALL
STANDS. >> HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT
WILL TAKE? >> I WOULD IMAGINE A WEEK OR
LESS. YES, SIR. >> IN THE MEANTIME , THIS PLAT
EVERYONE'S PREFERENCE. >> DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU DON'T
HAVE RECORDS? >> THANK YOU ALL.
>> IF YOU CAN IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS, ONCE THAT IS IRONED
OUT, OKAY? >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ON THE EAST PLATS? >>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
] , GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS. I HAVE NOT BEEN HERE IN A MINUTE.
THE FAIRWAY OAKS PLAT, QUESTION ABOUT THE DEDICATION. THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE GIVES YOU A HANDFUL OF OPTIONS, REQUIREMENTS, ACTUALLY. WHEN DEALING WITH THE FLOODWAY, ONE OF THEM IS IF THE PROPERTY IS NOT GOING TO BE PART OF THE PROJECT , AS WE'VE GOT IT LAID OUT , THAT WE DEDICATE THAT TO THE CITY. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN OVER WHO WILL MAINTAIN IT BUT THAT IS A REQUIREMENT OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SO WE ARE DEDICATING IT TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT. OBVIOUSLY, WE STILL HAVE , THIS WILL PROBABLY NECESSITATE A CONVERSATION WITH STAFF TO TALK ABOUT TIS MORE.
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING, FOLLOWING UP WITH THE CURRENT
>> DOSIS HAVE ACCESS TO FAIRWAY OAKS BOULEVARD?
>> YES, IT DOES. >> YES, SIR, EAST AND WEST.
>> THAT WILL HELP WITH THAT TRAFFIC.
>> NOT THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT.
>> ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE NAYS -- PLATS. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. IT HAS BEEN MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS WE HAVE HAD ANY DISCUSSION ON PLATS. I ENJOYED IT. I APPRECIATE YOU COMING UP HIM A THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? IF NOT, WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
