The applicant is requesting to modify that through a comprehensive plan amendment to change the land use of the property from rural estate to urban estate. The city historically has used one of two findings of fact. either a mistake was made in the original comprehensive plan or times and conditions have changed. In this case, staff identifies that times and conditions have changed to warrant a a change in the comprehensive plan.

due to the close proximity to that well, it is highly advised that additional private water wells not be permitted. And again, under the existing zoning and land use, that would require private well and septic versus connection to the city sewer and water.

my concern was this. Um I know that when we have a lot of uh walkers from the schools, um these these roads tend to get bottlenecked up and I'm guessing this is not going to What's the width of the road? 26 feet. Yeah. Very skinny roads. And a lot of times parents have a habit of parking and having kids walk so they don't get caught in the school traffic and it creates a bottleneck for and a safety issue for pedestrians and especially these kids coming from elementary school.

it is a it is a restriction. You're correct. Uh what we've seen on our past projects it has been a deed restriction but it will be a requirement to live there um for the entirety of the project.

I would like to bring up a topic. This is a little bit on the side, but it's related to legislation in front of the state that the state is looking at right now. The state is looking at restricting parking even further... one stall per unit I would say is insufficient.

I'm a it's not for us the project we're going to on its face. I'll just say this just to say this is that I'm a little disappointed that it is 55 plus targeted. Um I'm I am disappointed because I I would like this to be an opportunity. These are this is a great product in its market rate. Um that targeting disappoints me a little bit because wherever we are access to transit this this housing is direct access to transit.

I do have concerns uh that you know that we did spend so much time on what we wanted this corridor to look like and it is not looking like what we had planned on and it's just frustrating on why do we take the time and all these council meetings to do all this stuff and then go down a path that just does um exactly uh opposite of what we said we wanted.

I will go on the record and say any additional housing in here that restricts to aging, I will be a no vote for.

The bill has come a long way uh than previous years, but we still do have concerns primarily with preeemption and uh requirement of lots of units on um one AC one one lot essentially. Um, we have the best staff working on it and because of the leadership of assistant community development director, city planner Eric Surles, uh, uh, community development director, um, Janelle Schmidtz, uh, Shelley Schaefer, who's our community relations manager, Mayor Bert, and all this council. Uh, we are at the table, um, to make an impact and hopefully get the bill to a better place that really works for the city of Woodbury.
