The plan has to account for traffic to and from the site along with sediment control measures. They have to be in place. The plan needs to include a schedule of activities that limit the duration of off-site disruptions and impacts. and the plan shall be accompanied by security to in ensure restoration.

Our plan with here was to bring the site up to grade and uh to match more of what's across the street just to get it close because this is down in a hole. So when you drive up um Still Water Boulevard there, it it's going to look like it's in a hole. So my concept is always to make them look higher, right? Number one. And number two, to make the water drainage the way that we need to by putting the ponds on both ends also allows the water, it's actually less drainage out of the facility than there is currently with it all draining one way and towards the lake.

I oppose the rating permit at 10830 Stillwater Boulevard North. I was a little bit amazed that you've already gone for permits from Washington County when it hasn't even had the courtesy to go through this body. In my view, this is being insensitive and disrespectful to the residents of our community. To totally change the character of the existing landscape makes no sense.

I'm trying to get an understanding of So, what you're saying is the plans here are the site development plans because he says no permit will be granted without an approved site development plan. We don't currently have an approved site development plan for this. And to me, you know, a plan to fill in and and put, you know, add 60,000 yards to the site and grade it is not a site development plan. There's no development. We're just filling.

Um street width out there is is very narrow and tends to vary. Um, so when we're reconstructing these streets, we're going to try and match existing geometrics and widths as best as best as we can, uh, with minor grade adjustments, but we're also going to be kind of [clears throat] evening out the street width in spots where it does tend to vary.

The PCIs are it would show up as red on the map. You know, these are all, you know, 30 or below with the exception of the streets that the mayor called out earlier that have been reconstructed recently.

We, you know, the 30% um assessment for the project um we thought may be um a little out of scope for for what's being done out there. This is a quick look at the area. There's 10 lots.

We have a 24ft street and we call it a collector, so we assess 9%. We have a 24 foot street residential and we assess 30%. Look those residents in the eye and say that's fair to you. I live on a residential street that's entirely the same as a street we call a collector that we're building and I get to pay 30% and they get to pay nine. To me, the difference should be the increased cost because it's a collector, but we don't have any of those.

My response would be a person who lives on a collector road is responsible for a tiny fraction of the traffic that that road is built to handle. If you live in a neighborhood and most of our neighborhoods are closed off in that you're only driving that neighborhood if you live there or you're an Amazon delivery person. Um it's not a through road. It's not a collector road that's handling the higher.

The statute allows us to conduct a tiff inspection prior to demolition and that would preserve the ability to create a tiff district up to three years from the date of the demolition. So the issue before the council is should the council approve the tiff resolution to preserve the site's eligibility for a future tiff district.

I I appreciate number one seeing things outlined such as the timeline and how this is being staggered very intentionally. Um, we're doing this openly. It is known. And to me, this is aligns overall with our two-year goal. One of the things that we had on there was to coordinate what this overall site looks like. And this is now walking the walk. So, it's taking staff time. I appreciate that and I understand that, but this is one of the things we asked for. So, thank you.

The drainage conveyance conveyance assurance um you know basically means that the city won't will do what it can reasonably to allow for that storm water to stay in place until 2040 or until the street and property is split, subdivided, etc. Same thing for the construction of a trail. And then um again to address the weight posting assurance that is also part of the terms of the agreement.

The city currently has the authority to use eminent domain. Um it it it doesn't really seem prudent to to change that. ... But the point is that the city has that authority now and likely shouldn't be giving that up.

Our current trucks at 78 ft. The new truck would be at 101 ft. Um, we need to have an apparatus that meets our needs and our our city's growth and what's coming our way. when we look at development and we talk about development um with the rowers project we're looking at our first you know market rate apartment building that will come online sometime next year those are big buildings and anything at three four stories is going to be a you know a concern of ours on how we operate in those buildings

We anticipate this vehicle to be in in in our fleet and in our rotation for at least 25 years. I can definitely see this truck 15 to 20 years out having a kind of a midlife refurbishment if there's some upgrades or things that needed. Um, we can't do that one with the current now. I mean, if our truck, you know, I've said this before, if our current truck was 100 ft, whether it had a bucket on it or not, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
