    Okay. Item PC four is PDD 20-7477. It's in the name of FAML C slash Moon Lake Acres. It is for a rezoning from ER, a state residential district, to MF1, multiple family medium density district.

    The property is located on the west side of Moon Lake Road, approximately 1.25 miles south of State Road 52.

    The zoning amendment is from ER, a state residential, to MF1, Multiple Family Medium Density District, in order to develop the site with a maximum of 162 single-family attached townhomes. The surrounding area is characterized by single-family and multiple family uses.

    The subject site is an expired portion of the Baywood Meadows Forest Point PUD Planned Unit Development. But on August 9, 2005, the PUD Plan Unit Development Zoning District was repealed through ordinance 05-32. In accordance with our land development code, a PUD that expires shall cause the property to revert to the zoning district that existed prior to the zoning of the PUD. So the subject parcel had a previous zoning of ER, and that is what we're rezoning today. The

    expired PUD included entitlements for a mix of multifamily, attached single-family, and detached single-family dwellings.

    Here's a look at the zoning, the current zoning and the surrounding zoning of the area. Yeah. And the future land use is res six for the site. And access is off of uh Moon Lake Road.

    This comes to you with a recommendation of approval from PDD. And I'm here for any questions you have.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Ah okay. How many acres is that?

    Christina Costa

    S so altogether the the site is just over forty-five acres.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    All right. Okay. Um any Questions from the board.

    Christopher Poole

    Mr. Chairman M I've got a question on Chris Poole. Okay, go ahead. So mine is regarding traffic. I drove this site this morning in a pretty pretty driving rain rainstorm and I see in the timing phasing analysis that they are Proposing a left turn in northbound. My question is that going to be signalized or not? Or is that still to be determined?

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    No, not the right fault.

    Christina Costa

    So access to the site is is determined at the site plan point. Perhaps the applicant is on the line too and she has her her traffic consultant and maybe they can answer the question of the future intention for development.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Okay. Right. Anyway, it's not available at the moment.

    Barbara Wilhite

    This is Torkable High. Can you hear me?

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Yeah. Right. Barbara.

    Barbara Wilhite

    Hi Plenty Commission members, how are you?

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Right.

    Barbara Wilhite

    So Mr. Poole, the answer is that we did a preliminary access management analysis with our timing and phasing analysis. And it did call for the need for, as you mentioned, that left turn lane, 455 feet northbound left turn lane. It's only a preliminary analysis at site plan. The access plan to be formally reviewed.

    Christopher Poole

    Okay. Yeah, I just want I just wanna go on record 'cause that's a very high high uh velocity area, I guess if you want to call it. And it's a pretty sharp turn coming around there. So I think from a safety perspective, that's that's something I wanted to add. And I also see in the timing phasing analysis, there's no Sort of deceleration lane or or anything coming south to turn right. Is that is that correct? Or is that does that seem to be determined as well?

    Barbara Wilhite

    Yeah, that's for the uh analysis that we submitted. Um as I've as I stated, that was a preliminary analysis. So staff um in the staff report has a finding that says that they're gonna review access management at the site plan as well.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Okay.

    Denise

    Barbara, let's let's get you sworn in first. Uh state your name and your address for the record, and then the clerk will swear you.

    Denise

    Clerk

    Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give is the truth, so help you God?

    Denise

    Yeah. Okay, your three minutes start now. Thank you, Ms. Setterman.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Okay, yeah, I'm calling on the Moon Lake Acre. Um agenda T C four. And my concerns are the Moon Lake Road safety. Um it's actually very, very busy road already. Um Water's Edge has townhomes being added. Um River Ridge had some added recently and Um, Rhodeshaven is being developed at this time. Um, and my daughter does sub and she said the schools, there's

    20, 25 kids per classroom and there's a lot of outbuildings already in this area. Um, I also work on the school system and I know there's a lot of special needs kids. who aren't getting the services that they need or the special attention they need because of the large class sizes. Um I'm uh uh and that's with the schools uh alone. The safety on Moon Lake Road is is bad. Uh I live on a cross street. And it's very difficult for me to pull onto my street Coronado Way,

    which is just up the street from where they want to build the townhomes. We're always afraid someone's gonna back um hit us from the back when we're trying to turn in from either direction. Um, because people are going so fast. They're like pushing us. We blinker early, but it doesn't matter. We're still really scared. Um we there's a turn lane into Baywood Meadows. Um, but that's n uh we don't have one for four node away. Um And people will pass us on the right. Just to um And not

    in it's very aggressive, I guess, to put it that way. The traffic on the link is very aggressive traffic. Um, let's see, there's been a number of accidents and deaths on Moon Lake Road. I'm concerned about the environmental impact. Um with the clearing and things like that. Um So those are my biggest concerns. And also the poor notice to the public with the signs. I understand they place it at the county buildings and they put it in the newspapers. Um, but the signs were very small. Um, they were placed on a curve. And

    parallel with traffic, which wasn't really good no sign notice for the people out here. Um I think that's really about it. I don't know how long three minutes is.

    Denise

    You have about thirty or so more seconds.

    Unidentified speakerVoice A

    Pardon me? Yeah, thirty seconds. I have thirty seconds. Yeah, so I'm just hoping those these concerns be addressed. And um And just respect the environment out here. But I'm just really worried about the traffic on Moon Like as with everyone else that is out here who's about here. We're all worried about the tr more traffic on Moon Like World, which it can't take. So There you go. Those are my concerns in three minutes.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    All right. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. We'll see if we can get you some answers. Um There were some questions about the school. Chris, do you have anything that any questions you have about that?

    Chris Williams

    Sure. I can um Um talk about that. Um Barbara, can you remind me of the number of Town homes that are proposed for here.

    Barbara Wilhite

    One hundred and sixty two. Okay. generate 13 elementary school students, six middle school students, and eight high school students.

    Chris Williams

    Okay. So as far from a capacity standpoint, um These students will go to Moon Like Elementary. You probably have it in front of you too, Barbara. Um Sorry. Moon Lake Elementary is a little bit under capacity. River Ridge Middle is a little bit over, but with the um Starkey K8 that we're opening in a year from now. We would expect um River Ridge to be um Relieved of their overcrowding. And

    then also River Ridge High School is currently under capacity. Um so with that few of a number of students being generated. Um we don't I don't have concerns with providing capacity for this particular project.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    All right, great. Thank you very much. Bye. Um Anybody else on the board have questions? Oh,

    Chris Williams

    Mr. Chairman? Yes. If I and if I may add, um, as far as class size, you know, obviously we have the class size amendment that we have to comply with. Um and that's um usually on a on a per school average basis. So um you know, if if more students come then um we're obligated to hire more teachers to um meet uh

    the class size average across the school.

    That's a concern. Is that what you're

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    saying?

    Chris Williams

    Well, I'm just saying that that that were mandated by law to to do that. So So let's say another 13 students show up at Moon Like Elementary School. Um, then we hire have to hire more staff in order to comply with the um class size amendment.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Okay,

    okay.

    Michael J. Cox

    No, no.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Yes.

    Michael J. Cox

    Uh so this Michael Cox. Uh my question is to the staff. Does anybody know when Wind Lake Road is slated to be widened? I mean, we acquired the right-of-way for that road back when I was on the commission.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    I'm not sure if there's somebody on staff that can answer that.

    Christina Costa

    I believe Essen is on the line.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    I want to see the column.

    Christina Costa

    He I believe he's a call in.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Do we know what his uh prefix is? There you go to prefix.

    Denise

    It should be 813.

    Michael J. Cox

    I'm I'm hoping we can provide that answer. It might help um DVD.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    I can I I think I know the answer until Essens gets on the line. The the County did do some interim safety improvements in Moon Lake Road, probably I wanna say a couple of years ago, um shortly after there was the major traffic accident on Moon Lake Road. Um, I don't believe the county ha other than those interim safety improvements, I do not believe the county has any plans to widen Moon Lake to four lanes in the next

    probably next five to ten years. Um it would likely be on that time period. Part of the reason for that is because as you know a Ridge Road extension is currently under construction. And I think the county plans on the Ridge Road extension diverting a significant amount of traffic. Away from Moon Lake Road. So I think that's the reason why the the widening of of When Lake has been delayed. But Eston may be able to clarify more if he's On the line.

    That's a dipole. It's a column to the

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    test to the line. So I I

    Barbara Wilhite

    I I can add to what David said, which was that safety improvement was in 2014 and it consisted of adding paved shoulders, resurfacing the roadway, adding audible vibratory uh pavement markings, restriping, and putting a turn lane at Moon Lake and Bestwood Avenue and um putting flashers like cur curb warning signs and the like. So it was a pretty significant safety improvement that David's referencing. I'm reading from a memo from 2014, but my understanding is the same as David's, which is the

    four laning of Moon Lake was pushed off because of the priority of Ridge Road extension.

    Denise

    And Essen's on the f on the call now, on the line.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Okay.

    Hasan, are you there?

    Can you hear me now?

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    Right one three, uh I have an eight one three

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    and an eight five oh

    Denise

    Um yeah, eight one three should be. Um okay. We're having some technical difficulties having him on the call.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    Well, I don't think his answer is going to be any different than my answer in Barbara's, just

    Michael J. Cox

    to be honest. You've answered the question. That's fine. Okay. That's fine. Thank you.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Okay. Thank you. Thanks, David. Okay, um So We've heard from the uh I call her in and so Barbara what comments do you have in regard to that?

    Barbara Wilhite

    Sure, and I have my technical team available too if you have any specific questions. But you know, as Mr. Poole asked the question, I think this is about access management and the turn lanes corn auto way, which which the caller has concern regarding does not have a protected left. So when you're turning left onto Corona Way, you're in the travel lane. I think that's why it's so important and was pointed out in our preliminary access management analysis that we need to have that protected bus. So our turn people turning into our townhome project will move out of the travel

    lane and be in the the turn lane. The turn lane is going to be four hundred and fifty-five feet. um long, so sufficient to hold those cars and address that concern. We we don't went through timely and phasing analysis. Um, we'll be paying mobility fees. We um the land use is RED six. We haven't asked for a land use change. Usually townhomes come in around nine units per acre. We're at six units per acre. The site was previously approved for 304 rental apartments. You've heard about the PUD

    and the expiration of the PUD. Um And so with that, we we have to obviously address environmental impact. We have permitting we have to go through listed species and wetlands and swift mud and those types of things. We did notice as required by county requirements, we actually had to send out letters twice because there was a glitch in the in how we described the rezoning because of the expiration of the PUD. So, but if you have any specific questions, I have a full team available that

    can go into more detail.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    This is Peter Hansville. Forty five acres. How many uh How many acres are gonna be impacted by the actual Homes, roads, et such.

    Barbara Wilhite

    I can bring forward uh if you could bring forward Jeremy Kouch. He can he's our project engineer and I can see he's on somewhere here. So he can answer that question.

    Unidentified speakerVoice C

    Jeremy, are you there? I I am here, Mr. Gray. Thank you. Uh I I believe it's approximately twenty-five acres of uplands.

    Denise

    Jeremy, we need to swear you in first, please. So state your name and address for the record.

    Unidentified speakerVoice C

    Thank you. Jeremy Couch, [address removed].

    Denise

    Okay, the clerk will now swear you in.

    Clerk

    Do you swear or affirm the testimony you're about to give? Is the truth so help you God?

    Unidentified speakerVoice C

    I do. All right. Thank you, Jeremy. Go ahead. Sir, uh it's approximately 25 acres of uplands. We're still going through our delineation with the Swift Mud at this time. Um but essentially The uplands are centered into the middle of the property and there is a wetland area on the north south. Yeah, east. that buffer the project um from the surrounding area. So it's it's a nice little enclave tucked into In the middle in the middle of this tract.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    So it looks like about half of the property is gonna remain uh forested, right? Yes, sir, that's accurate. Okay. I think that was one of the questions that were But they call our hat. was the environmental part of it. So Okay.

    Adding to that question. Peter, did you have a question?

    Chris Williams

    It was the same viewers. They have 162 townhomes. Forty five point uh three. Tenths of an acre. I figured out. They could put 174 townhomes in there. So they're going less. Yeah. Your your question was basically the same as mine. But my my main concern is that's all that's going in here is the townhomes. I thought Ms. Whitley had mentioned something else about apartments. I have apartments on a note. Let it wrote down. Is

    anything else going in this hundred forty five point oh three tenths of an acre?

    Barbara Wilhite

    Yeah, so my reference was to the previous approval. Uh Mr Hansel previously the previous PUD approval would have allowed um three hundred and

    Chris Williams

    Okay, thank you.

    Barbara Wilhite

    For a rental apartment.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    Okay, thank

    Chris Williams

    you.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    All right. Anybody else?

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    Well, I just want to clarify this is a Euclidean zoning, so it doesn't necessarily Restrict the property to town homes. It's

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    a multifamily zoning. Multifamily, yeah. In this case, I understand they're going to be attached. Right.

    Unidentified speakerVoice B

    Yeah, I that's what the applicant proposed. I just didn't want you to think that was a binding commitment. Gotcha. Because it's a Euclidean zoning district. Okay, thank you.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair

    All right. Any other questions from any board member?

    All right. If not, uh We have a motion.

    Chris Williams

    This is Peter Hans, so I'll make the motion to approve. Um Sorry, I don't have the number here.

    Jaimie GirardiVice Chair
