LET'S GET OUR STUDY SESSION UNDERWAY. FIRST ITEM WE HAVE ON OUR AGENDA IS THE DISCUSSION ON THE STATIONARY PLAN SURVEY RESULTS AND THE DRAFT PLAN REVIEW. I HAVE A PRESENTATION BY, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A PRESENTATION AFTER THAT BY JORDAN DALLEY WATER. WE'RE GOING TO START OFF WITH THE STATIONARY PLAN. JEN, YOU GOT THAT? GO AHEAD. I DO HAVE CONSULTANTS HERE WITH FAIR IMPERIALS AND DESIGN WORKSHOP TO GO OVER THE RESULTS OF THE OPEN HOUSE AND THE SURVEY AS WELL AS THE PREFERRED DRAFT CONCEPTS THAT STAFF AND THE CONSULTANTS HAVE COME UP WITH GIVEN THE COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE SURVEY AND THE OPEN HOUSE. OUR GOAL TONIGHT IS TO GET FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS. on those concepts so that we can go back and refine those as we finalize a draft stationary plan to bring to you guys for review and adoption. And Jen, let me, before I start, I should have done this. I want to note that we're in our study session. We have a joint, this is a joint meeting with our planning commission. So I'd like to recognize our planning commissioners for all being here. It looks like you have a fair number of you, if not all of you almost. But anyway, we do this a couple times a year. And so we're glad to have you. Thank you for coming. And we look forward to talking together. Go ahead, Jen. Sorry. Okay. So I'm going to turn it over to Chris Geddes with Design Workshop to kind of go through the document. Thanks, Jennifer. And Mayor, Council, good to see you. Planning Commission, good to see you all as well. Can I operate this with this mouse? Yes, I can. All right. JUST A SHORT AGENDA. WE'LL GIVE A BIT OF A PROJECT UPDATE, AGAIN, TALKING ABOUT THE OPEN HOUSE AND THE ONLINE SURVEY RESULTS THAT WE RECEIVED, TALKING ABOUT THROUGH PREFERRED COMMENTS, AS JEN MENTIONED, AND THEN HAVE TIME FOR DISCUSSION WITH COUNCIL AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I'LL JUST SKIP THIS SLIDE. We've been doing engagement in three different and distinct windows. The first one was March to April window where we really met with folks who had some say in the station areas. And again, we're talking about Crescent View, Kimball's, and Vista Station. In that early stage, we really started talking about vision. What should the station areas be thinking about? What do we want the future to hold? So talking to stakeholders and project partners as well as city leadership. After that, we did a design charrette in this room. around all the three stations where we had people really do some hands-on activities about really thinking about the future of the stations. So again, that was the client team. The same key stakeholders were invited. And then we had a workshop with council and planning commission at that time. That was, again, back in April. In May and June, we moved into window two, which was the online survey and the open house. And we'll go through the results there again. THAT REALLY IS THE BULK OF HOW WE GOT INFORMATION THAT WILL LEAD INTO RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS PLAN. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN ENGAGEMENT WINDOW 3 WHERE WE'RE DOING LEADERSHIP PRESENTATIONS. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT. AND GETTING READY TO HOPEFULLY GET THIS SET UP FOR ADOPTION BY COUNCIL YET THIS FALL. AS A REMINDER, WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE STATE TO HAVE THESE PLANS ADOPTED THIS FALL SO THAT THEY CAN BE CERTIFIED BY THE STATE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. SO IT IS A PRETTY FAST PROCESS. WE THINK THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THE RIGHT TOUCH POINTS AND ARE GETTING SOME GOOD FEEDBACK ON THIS. SO AGAIN, WHAT WE'VE HEARD, THE OPEN HOUSE WE HAD BACK IN JUNE, JUNE 5TH. It wasn't the most well-attended open house we've ever seen. We had about 20 people come through, but there were some really positive conversations that came out of that open house, I think. We got some great feedback, had the opportunity to have some in-depth conversations with neighbors. The mayor was here the entire time, and we appreciated that just so that he could hear the thoughts of the folks that brought to the table. So, again, that was the open house. Lots of talk really focusing on Kimball's, I will say, was the primary focus of folks. There were some people interested who came out specifically to talk about Crescent, the Crescent Station. So we had an opportunity to talk one-on-one there. We then launched the survey the same evening. So launched on June 5th. It was open until June 30th. We got a great turnout on that one with almost 800 survey responses. I think not coincidentally, this was released around the same time that council was considering the zone change update for the land near Kimball's Lane station. So that may have driven some response to the survey. And so we did ask folks to respond to their likes or dislikes about a few concepts at each station. So for Vista Front Runner, we put out a couple of concepts. One we called the East-West Spine, which really focused on that pedestrian connection from the neighborhoods to the east of the station, all the way to the Jordan River trail system. This also focused some on how do we think about Front Runner Boulevard? Can we really activate that area? as well as some more public space, kind of defined spaces. We understand that there are entitled projects here that have been entitled for a while, haven't moved forward. What we're hoping that this stationary plan can do is not say you lose your entitlement, but how can we really kind of focus a future submittal if you want to change your plans to really on some of these active public spaces that the community is looking for in there. So concept two, really a public space network, really thinking about how do we link connected spaces. In this case, concept two was the preferred by a small margin. Importantly, though, what we did, instead of asking people which one you like the best, We asked folks to respond to which of kind of some of the big ideas you like the best. And I think we had six big ideas embedded in the two concepts that we really wanted people to kind of focus the energy on. How do we take their preferences and start to cobble together a plan that really addresses what folks liked most about the two concepts? The top big moves that folks liked, one was the trails link, making sure that we're connecting trails to the Jordan River trail system and to other trail connections around the region. Second was this marketplace. We showed the idea of a marketplace local retail, local F&B, right near the station, just north of the station, as a place to bring activity and support the needs of the local community. And then third was the Jordan Green Link Trail, which really, again, focused on that connection to the Jordan River Trail. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT FOLKS THOUGHT WERE MOST IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER HERE WAS CREATING A SENSE OF PLACE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE CREATE A THERE THERE AT VISTA STATION, ESPECIALLY AS KIND OF DISPARATE DEVELOPMENTS KIND OF COME TOGETHER. SO WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THOSE PUBLIC SPACES THAT CAN BE THE STITCH THAT KIND OF BINDS THINGS THAT NEW DEVELOPMENTS CAN COME IN AND JOIN TO IN A VERY THOUGHTFUL WAY. Or the least important here was increasing office space and employment and housing. So not a ton of support for density at the stations, at any of the stations, to be honest with you. But we understand, you know, that there's an entitlement there already and density is allowed at Vista Station. So those were some of the key things that we came out of from a land use and urban design standpoint. I'll turn it over to Dan to talk about transportation. Hi everyone, my name is Dan Colley with Farron Piers Transportation Planning and Engineering firm up in Salt Lake. I've been working with Chris and his team at Design Workshop focusing on the transportation component of the plans and part of the survey that we we had offered up to respondents was a question around the point, how to connect to it, what that connection is supposed to be. That notion of there being a transit connection between the two places has been out there for a while. Since the survey was released, of course, UTA released their preferred alternative in terms of what that transit connection is supposed to be. That is not the focus of this plan, but we do recognize that at least there is longstanding notions out there for what the connection could or should look like. So the survey indicated that that's what Respondents wanted to see was a thoughtful connection, an intentional connection between the two. Decreasing in terms of significance, though, we did see responses indicating support for improving east-west connections. We heard that from Planning Commission when we got together, I think it was early June, but my memory of how long ago that was is fading. So that is consistent throughout both at the local level and citywide level, the need or desire for better connections across the frontrunner tracks as well as the parallel freight tracks there, not to mention I-15 outside of our focus area. AND THEN LAST, SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO POKE AT IS THE NOTION OF BETTER CONNECTING MAJOR EMPLOYERS IN THE VISTA STATION AREA TO THE STATION ITSELF. AND SO HAVING A NORTH SOUTH CONNECTION ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE TRACK SEEMS LIKE ONE WAY TO DO THAT. IT WOULD REQUIRE, OF COURSE, THOSE IMPROVED EAST-WEST CONNECTIONS. AND YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE RIGHT ONE OF THE RESPONDENTS, THE OPEN FORUM OR LONG FORUM RESPONSES FOCUSES SPECIFICALLY ON PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS ACROSS SOME OF THOSE BIGGER BARRIERS. so moving on to kimball's lane so again we we offered up two um two concepts uh for real development concepts we we know there is a a new proposal um at least coming um from a developer for the the agricultural land that was redesigned um so we wanted to ask folks about a couple of different ideas the one on the left concept one really kind of was in a density level of about 18 units per acre, I believe, 18 to 20 units per acre, showing a concentration of larger four-story condo projects really in the center of the larger lot as well as the center of the smaller lot. Both of them are the same. And then stepping down to three-story apartments or for-sale condos and then townhomes on the outside, so really kind of scaling the development. And that one also included some cottage housing, a small cottage community at the southeast portion of the project along Kimball's Lane. In this scheme, Kimball's Lane retained its current geometry, so keeping that open. Dan will talk a little bit about what happens at Kimball's and 700 potentially in the future. Concept 2 just looked at some more density. You know, thinking about this one actually, I think, got us up to about 28 dwelling units per acre and brought some more density over near the station. So where we had, you know, largely in the first scheme, townhomes, cottages, and some condo product. In this case, there may be some four-run apartment housing in Concept 2 and some more intensive developments as well as the development of a portion of the UTA parcel, the triangular parcel off of 700 East. In this case, from a connectivity standpoint, we were looking at the idea of connecting Kimball's directly through to 700 rather than doing the geometrical reroute that is there today. It's something that we want to hold on to. as a potential for the future. I'll get into that more in a minute. The community did gravitate toward concept one, and I believe the comments supported that because it was a lower density in this case. We asked about preferred housing typologies. The highest number went to cottage courts, duplexes, town homes, and live works. So that one to three story scale is what folks really kind of gravitated toward. And again, I'll bring back Dan for transportation. Conveniently, responses are broadly similar here, just slightly different context. The Port of Rockwell Trail, which of course runs through both Kimball's Station area as well as the Crescent View Station area. The crossings at some of the major roads, 114 South at Crescent View, but also 7th East here at Kimball's Lane. not ideal, somewhat uncomfortable, and so folks would like to see improvements made to make those crossings more convenient, more straightforward, and generally just clean up the alignment. It kind of deviates and wanders around the station itself, and it turns out folks walking and cycling would rather have straighter lines. Decreasing but still significantly showing up are better connections for folks walking and biking to Juan Diego, south side of Kimball's Lane being one such option. AND THEN ALONG SEVENTH EAST ITSELF, THERE'S NOTABLE GAPS IN BOTH THE WALKING AND CYCLING NETWORK, SO MISSING PIECES OF SIDEWALKS AS WELL AS BIKE LANES AND TRYING TO FILL IN SOME OF THOSE GAPS. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN CRESCENT VIEW. FOR CRESCENT, WE SHARED A COUPLE OF OPTIONS ABOUT THE ONE CATALYTIC SITE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY IN THE STUDY AREA, AND THAT IS THE GROCERY STORE PROPERTY, WHICH SITS AT SORT OF It's 1140 south, I'm sorry, it's right up there, and 700. So we showed two concepts. The first really kind of created a new linear street running down the center. GENERALLY THE CENTER OF THAT NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SIDE, IN ALL CASES KEEPING THE GROCERY STORE THERE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IS A COMMUNITY ASSET THAT NO ONE WANTS TO SEE GO AWAY, BUT HARMONS DOES OWN THE PROPERTY TO THE NORTH, AND WE THOUGHT THIS WAS AN IDEA JUST TO, YOU KNOW, CAN WE THROW SOME IDEAS OUT THERE AND SEE IF SOMETHING STICKS. AND THE SECOND ONE REALLY KIND OF FOCUSING THAT ENERGY OF REDEVELOPMENT TO THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. I THINK ONE THING THAT WE HEARD, MAYBE NOT FROM THE SURVEY, BUT FROM from folks who were here the night of the open house, but also maybe who spoke with staff was, you know, do we really need to have a focus on here? And I think what we'll have in the recommendations moving forward is just a vision of what could be in case Harmon's ever did want to redevelop. People don't want to see their favorite restaurants go away. There's concern about, you know, displacement of existing successful businesses. So what we don't want to do is drive, you know, any expectation that that happens. We just want to offer up some ideas so that in the future, if Harmon's wanted to do something a little bit different, they would have some ideas. I have a question. Yes, sir. If I'm getting my bearings right, isn't there a development right now? There's a sushi place. Yeah, there's development on both the east and the west side, so two kind of strip centers as well as the Harman's gas station. So what do you do to those? Again, it's a future vision idea. It doesn't have to happen. But Harman's could see the opportunity to monetize their property. And if that were the case, hopefully they can phase it in a way that retains some of their tenants and builds new buildings to, again, rehouse them sometime in the future. There was concern about any level of... A REAL DENSITY WITHIN THE AREA. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE'S VERY LITTLE AREA TO DO MUCH IN THIS COMMUNITY. SO SOME APPREHENSION ABOUT THAT. ALWAYS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT TRAFFIC ON 700 EAST IN PARTICULAR. AND THEN, AGAIN, FROM A HOUSING STANDPOINT, THE DESIRE FOR MORE SINGLE FAMILY TO BE IN SCALE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE. CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? YES, SIR. WITH THE CRESENT VIEW STATION, OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE IS IN DRAPER. But the stations in Sandy, is this a plan that we still have to approve? I was thinking this was Sandy's responsibility. It is a plan that you have to approve because part of it is in your jurisdiction. Because of that radius. Exactly, because of the half mile. Now, it doesn't mean that you have to have the expectations for it that you might have for other stations. It just means that it does have to be in... in UTA's plans for the future. So does that, when UTA looks at this plan, are they counting the number of units between what Sandy has and what Draper has? I don't believe they are. I think what they want to see from the communities is that you took a stab at identifying what the right thing is for your communities in these areas. The Sandy plan only looks at the only opportunity for infield there is the UTA land right next to the station. West of it. Yeah, exactly. So there's not a lot that can happen from an infield standpoint at Crescent. There are things that can happen from, you know, a transportation circulation network improvements there. But this is, it's about doing the plan and checking the box in a lot of cases for that one. So overall comments. A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT KIMBLES LAME TRAFFIC, WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN BE SUPPORTED BY DATA IS ONE THING. WE'VE ALL SET UP A STOPLIGHT AT 700 AND KIMBLES AND BEEN FRUSTRATED. BUT THE NUMBERS MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW THAT THAT'S A REAL THING. BUT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT AND WE HAVE TO APPEASE FOLKS AS PART OF THIS PLAN. STRONG OPPOSITION TO IDENTITY HOUSING IN THE KIMBLES AREA. really wanting to reject anything over four stories in that area. Parking is a major concern. I think a lot of people are concerned that new development will bring more people parking in their neighborhood. So how do we think about designing new infill development so it doesn't have easy access necessarily to adjoining neighborhoods? Safety around crossings, schools, making a pedestrian priority loop is important. So again, how do we think about comfortably moving through the station area, especially as it relates in this case to Kimball's? A lot of kind of questions about is TRACS really working? Is it driving the ridership that UTA expects it to do? And I think there's some question about is it, Is it worth having these here? The fact is they're here and we need to work around them. And hopefully some of the development that comes out of this planning process and out of future processes does end up helping to drive transit use into the future. As Dan said, lots of support for improved pedestrian and trail infrastructure at all the station areas. And then preserving the quiet residential character of Draper is important to many of your residents. So that's the feedback we got. We're going to turn now to some of the alternatives that we've developed with staff as potential recommendations. So going back to VISTA, again, the preferred concept here is based on those key areas that folks were really interested in. The number one thing being this marketplace. So again, a place for LOCAL CONVENIENT RETAIL RESTAURANT, FOOD AND RESTAURANT, A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO BE THAT REALLY KIND OF REVS UP THE VIBRANCY AT THE STATION THAT CURRENTLY IS NOT THERE TODAY. EXCUSE ME, COMMUNITY CROSSING, WITH HB 462 COMES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR HTRZ funding, which is that state TIF, if you achieve a certain density. Your entitlement right now certainly achieves that density. So that HTRZ could be an opportunity to do some infrastructure improvements that may help stitch these communities together or this community together. And we're thinking in this case, the potential for a pedestrian bridge connection across the tracks to give access of those on the east side, easy access of those on the east side to transits and other uses on the west. A connected green system, you can see all the greens that are showing up here, thinking about linear parks, thinking about opportunities again for activated plaza, open space, that really kind of frames how developers think about new buildings. So rather than just doing a one-off project, if there's a goal to have, in this case, the Vista Common, you know, this... relatively small but amped up pedestrian plaza, maybe event space with buildings fronting it in the future so that we're not again thinking about one-off projects but we're trying to create place. So that would be that central gathering space. Moving on, transportation. So the continuing theme throughout all of this is trying to improve ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIONS FOR ALL USERS ACROSS BARRIERS SO AGAIN TALKING ABOUT THE FRONT OWNER TRACKS SO THAT'S SORT OF THE OFF STREET STUFF BUT ON STREET WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE TO PLAY WITH NOW AND THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO JUST RESTRIPE ROADS TO STRENGTHEN SPECIFICALLY CYCLING CONNECTIONS GIVEN THAT THIS IS A SLIGHTLY MORE REMOTE PLACE WE DID HERE I THINK DURING THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING THAT THERE'S INTEREST IN BEING ABLE TO GET TO THE THE JORDAN RIVER TRAIL AND SO WE NEED TO BUILD THOSE CONNECTIONS THROUGH THIS LOCATION AS WELL We are, of course, leaving space for something that looks like the transit connection to the points. Specific routing is definitely not accurate here. We will see what that turns into. We would, if at all possible, love to have a second east-west connection further south within the Vista Station area. That's that dashed light blue line that would connect to an existing park space east of the front runner tracks. But that is, I think, potentially less of a commuter-oriented connection PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE MORE ABOUT A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. AND BACK TO CHRIS. ALL RIGHT. KIMBLES. THIS IS KIND OF THE PREFERRED CONCEPT THAT WE'VE LANDED ON TODAY FOR KIMBLES. SIMILAR TO CONCEPT ONE FROM THE PREVIOUS PLAN, YOU'VE GOT THE COTTAGE COMMUNITY IN THE LOWER RIGHT THERE. town homes that wrap each of the edges that address communities across the street or across waterways, really making sure that we're thinking about the East Jordan Canal as an asset to the community. So thinking about, again, that pedestrian connectivity, trails, wildlife corridors, all those things. Important here, well, in this case, we're maintaining the curve of Kimball's Lane, but leaving the option open for the extension of Kimball's directly to 700 directly east in the future. Thinking about green spaces, the right size green spaces, what you don't want is a bunch of... lots that can't be programmed, but really thinking about how do we provide space for families, for residents to go out and enjoy the open space. A big thing on here is that we are showing a development of of the UTA site, the triangular parcel, which would include both transit parking. We already have transit parking on the west side, so just enhancing that to the extent that we need to. But really thinking about that parcel as an opportunity. In this case, we've done the math. We think that you can do a four-story building, ground floor retail, three stories of residential above, approximately 50 units, and make the parking work. SO THAT'S AN IDEA HERE. WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU THE NEXT TIME, WE WILL HAVE A LOOK AND FEEL FOR THAT PORTION OF THIS PROJECT, JUST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS MIGHT INTEGRATE WITH THE 700 WEST QUARTER, HOW IT MIGHT INTEGRATE WITH THE TRACKS LINE TO GIVE A VISUAL ON WHAT THE EXPECTATION MIGHT BE. QUICK QUESTION. YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS. I THOUGHT WE SAW AN APPLICANT COME IN TO PUT SOME TOWN HOMES HERE. on the current Ag property? Do you guys remember a couple weeks ago? So does that jive with what you guys are presenting? You're talking about the larger? That's exactly it. That's what it is. Great. So I think one thing that we think is important here specifically, and we've heard a lot about the need to maintain scale, to maintain neighborhood. A lot of these newer developments, be it apartment, condo, townhome, that we're seeing across the Wasatch Front are ignoring some of the things that make a place feel like a neighborhood, feel like a home. You're missing sidewalks. You're parking in front of buildings. And what we would encourage the community to do is to really express the expectation that sidewalks and open space and front yards are important. Let's put the cars, the vehicles to the rear of the property, whether it's in a garage or in a communal parking lot. But really think about the... pedestrian realm and make sure that it is pedestrian focused. So that's why you'll see sidewalks everywhere in here. That's why you see that parking contained in the middle. So something we would encourage you to consider in the future. And to your question, sir, this does show an aggregate density, and of course now it's showing, of 25.3 units per acre. I think what you approved was 25 to 28 units per acre. on the site. So this is not necessarily the vision of the developer, but we have shown here that you can do a range of housing types. I think range is important as well. Not every building needs to look the same. If you go to the older neighborhoods, Sugar House or whatever, what makes those successful is you have a range of building types and together they cohesively work as a neighborhood. So thinking about that kind of mix I think would would make this a more palatable project for the neighbors around it. And back to Dan. Kimball's Lane is a little bit more complex for a whole host of reasons. In the diagram that Chris just showed, and I will admit that as someone who works with a bunch of transportation engineers following a design firm always makes my material feel deeply undergunned, but here we are. We're not paid for pretty pictures more often than not. Kimball's Lane itself, of course, is aligned currently to have that bend to the south and very conveniently moves around the track station. That gives us a single tracks crossing. However, it does in itself raise a few other issues. The intersection of Kimball's Lane, 7th East, with tracks moving through it, we understand is a point of concern that showed up. IN THE SURVEY RESPONSES WE VERY MUCH SO NOW NEED TO GO OUT AND DO SOME OBSERVATIONS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING. THE TRAFFIC DATA DOES NOT SUGGEST THAT IT SHOULD BE AS BAD AS PEOPLE THINK IT IS. SO I WONDER IF THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENING REGARDING THE UNDERLYING PROGRAMMING OF HOW THAT INTERSECTION WORKS. WE'RE GOING TO GO POKE AT THAT A LITTLE BIT. THAT WILL BE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THE FUTURE IN THE NEAR TERM IS TO WORK ON THAT. LONGER TERM, THOUGH, IF AND WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE, IT WOULD BE A CLEANER SOLUTION TO HAVE KIMBLES LANE EXTEND DIRECTLY EAST AND TEE INTO 7TH EAST ON ITS MORE OR LESS EXISTING LATITUDE. THAT REDUCES THE NUMBER OF CONFLICTS. IT SHOULD BE OPERATIONALLY FEASIBLE WITH TRACKS. But again, something we heard throughout, just like at the other stations, is better walking and biking infrastructure, straighter lines, cleaner lines, simpler connections. So those can happen sooner. And in a distant future phase, if it is feasible, the Kimball's Lane extension to the east should be considered more fully. Can I ask a quick question? Yes, please. When you were analyzing the traffic, When did you guys do that? Oh, we have not done that meaningfully yet. So we heard from the survey that that was a community concern. We dug up some traffic counts that we can get from UDOT. And those are updated on a daily basis. So it's relatively recent traffic volumes. And that's why I'm saying what the numbers are on the screen don't translate to major gridlock. And that's why I want to figure out what's happening there. So we'll look at that a bit further over the next couple weeks. There clearly is times of gridlock there. course I think it's when school's in session too so we've got to make sure that maybe we'll delay a couple a month but yeah a.m. and p.m. pick up drop off times for sure yeah I think I think those are critical time periods and then I think also you know volume looking at the specific time of the volume and not just an overall day you know absolutely here where are the peaks in the volume so yep we'll do that Question, too, though, if you do that direct connection, that now creates two crossings instead of one. Would that create some backing up of traffic potentially? Because they're pretty close to each other. Yeah, very potentially, but ideally they're not going to be those roads because they are perpendicular. They're not going to be serving the same trips. So it should not necessarily be a big challenge. The thing that I'm trying to figure out at this point is timing of potential UTA schedules just to understand how closely trains are crossing. A 35-second hold every seven and a half minutes shouldn't lead to major capacity challenges, but it sounds like it occasionally does. And so that's one of the nuts to crack. point of reference, if you're looking at overall different points of Seventh East there, it may not hit the numbers, but between 114th and 123rd, there is a section where it goes down to one lane in each direction instead of two, which as you start to merge there, and then you get the train arm down, and you get people coming out of Juan Diego off Kimball, and it's the perfect storm. So the merging of two lanes into one creates havoc. So if you can get UTA to widen the road then. So that's an interesting point to bring up largely because one of the few concerns we heard about improvements on Seventh East at the open house was the speculation that any sort of improvements would encroach on private property outside of the public right of way. There is also ongoing interest in calming traffic, slowing traffic, improving the walking and cycling experience. All of these things are largely in conflict. And so picking your favorite solution is not going to be a straightforward one. And a full road widening would be a substantial undertaking. No doubt. We heard lots of comments pertaining to that, and traffic was A number one on the list for people. And it's hard to go from two to one. I know that sounds trivial, but we're not going to see less development there. So it seems like that's going to bring more traffic. I drive through a very similar arrangement on 13th East up by the University of Utah every day, and there is friction. Fully agreed. Thank you. Thanks. All right. Just two more slides here, I think. So Crescent View. Preferred concept, again, we heard what folks said. In this case, we're not looking at a full redevelopment of the northern portion of the Harman's property, really just focusing on that western piece so that we can keep the existing retail along 700 intact, we can keep the gas station intact. And really, again, this is just an idea about what could monetization of some of that look like so in this case three-story building maintaining the 20-foot buffer that is between the parking lot existing buildings and and the residential next door in this case again three-story buildings probably about 48 units there and again we will put this into a rendering to show what it could look like No expectations that it happens, but again, just for the property owner to have in their back pocket as they potentially think about the future. And then one last move, and then we're done. This is simple. There's only so much we can do at Crescent View anyhow, but again, we heard from folks that the trail alignment is really unpleasant. It's quite restricted on the east side just due to the way that the tracks alignment moves through the right-of-way. So there are some opportunities just to streamline some of those connections. Granted, half of this, more than half of this, is in Sandy. So if Sandy is even vaguely interested in some of these ideas, one recommendation is to actually add a crossing further north, get folks away from 114th itself. However, if that's not an option, there are ways to streamline 114th to have better navigation for folks on bikes or anyone, say, with a stroller, anyone trying to make that serpentine trip east or west. We can straighten that out a bit. AND THAT IS THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION. SO WE'LL TAKE QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. ANY PLANNING COMMISSIONERS, ANY FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? COUNCILMEMBERS? SO NEXT WILL BE AUGUST. JEN, TELL US THE TIMELINE. YES, SO WE WILL TAKE ALL THE FEEDBACK AND FINE-TUNE THESE INTO A PREFERRED CONCEPT, GET A FINAL STATIONARY PLAN DOCUMENT TOGETHER. WE'LL GET SOME RENDERINGS. WE CAN BRING THE RENDERINGS TO YOU GUYS TO TAKE A LOOK AT AS WELL. WE DO HAVE THESE SCHEDULED FOR THE LATER MEETINGS IN AUGUST TO BRING THE STATIONARY PLAN. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THE TOTAL DOCUMENT APPROVED BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER. MAYOR? That is an interesting concept, though, connecting Kimball's Lane directly to 7th East. That really could maybe solve some issues. Definitely. One of the concept plans leaves leeway for it in the future. Anybody else have any comments on it? All right, thank you. Thank you, gentlemen. Next item, next presentation is our dear friends at Jordan Valley Water. They've been waiting patiently. to tell us how expensive water is becoming. So come on up, gentlemen. Give us the good news. Thank you all. Mayor Walker, council members. So I'm John Richardson, resident of Draper, and I'm a trustee representing Draper on the Jordan Valley water. And I've got some good relevant experience. I've been in about 26 years of civil engineering and specifically consulting on the water wastewater side. So used to dealing with treatment, master plan. In fact, I looked out the window. I realized in 1999, I started my career in consulting and worked on the Draper water distribution master plan. And I thought, they're really going to build all those homes at Suncrest? And sure enough, I mean, here we are. Anyway, so yes, as we grow traffic, you guys deal with that. And then water, we've got some property tax increases to talk about. Significant part of that is out of the $210 million you'll see in the handout that I'm joined by Alan Packard here, General Manager at Jordan Valley, but they are doing a lot with their existing facilities. I really want to emphasize that. Jordan Valley is doing a great job, led by Alan, and they're taking their existing water treatment plant, their main water treatment plant, and spending $120 million to upgrade it, but they're getting significantly more capacity. So yes, it's a lot of money, but it's money well spent, and that's really kind of the theme. I WANT TO DRIVE HOME FROM MY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH DIFFERENT CLIENTS THROUGHOUT THE WESTERN U.S. SO ANYWAY, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO ALLEN TO WALK YOU THROUGH SPECIFICS, BUT YEAH, JUST WANT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. THANK YOU, JOHN, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL. I HAPPEN TO BE A HAPPY RESIDENT OF DRAPER CITY FOR THE PAST 27 YEARS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. I, as John mentioned, we're here to report on a proposed property tax increase. And this sheet that we've provided, kind of a one-page summary of our proposal, we have a Truth in Taxation public hearing on August 11th at 6 o'clock at our headquarters in West Jordan. The reason for the property tax increase As our service area grows and as our overall cost of service increases each year, we develop budget and projected needs scenarios. And when there's a gap between our total revenue and our projected needs, we look to fill that gap with either rate revenue or property tax revenue or a combination. Typically, our 10-year financial plan calls for increasing our property taxes about every three years or so, two or three years. Currently, property tax revenue makes up about 30% of our total revenue, and it provides a really important, predictable element of our revenue, whereas our rate revenue is quite variable. It's very weather dependent, how much water we sell. At the bottom of this sheet, there's a summary of major new capital projects, which we have planned, totaling over $210 million over the next five years, including treatment plant expansions, new storage reservoirs. new aqueducts, new wells. That first one, the treatment plant upgrades and expansion, that's going to be at our Herrmann plant. The last time that plant was expanded was in 1986. And that's typical of water infrastructure where we have to build something quite large and then usually takes several decades for that to be fully realized, the capacity. It's impractical for us to put in a small pipeline, then five years later another small pipeline, and ten years later another small pipeline. So it's kind of capital intensive up front, and we spread out those costs to both existing and future users by using debt financing. And the debt financing is supported by we're able to get really strong credit ratings when we have a component of our revenue from reliable, predictable property taxes. So that's our strategy for our use of property tax. What we're proposing is an increase this year amounts to an 11.1% increase in our property tax rate above the certified rate, and that increase on a home of average value in Jordan Valley service area, which is $630,000, would result in an increase in annual property tax of $11.78 for that home. And then you can see what a business or different value of homes, what that incremental increase would be associated with our property tax. proposed increase. With that summary, I'm happy to answer questions. Questions? When was the last time you increased the property taxes? We didn't do it last year. We did it the year before. Yes, yes, thank you. Yeah, it does. Yeah, yeah. Planning Commissioners? All right. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Next is a report on major road capital improvement projects by Mr. Cooley. Go ahead, sir. Mayor and Council. Just wanted to go over some of the projects that we're working on and have completed. The first one is the 146 south of Miniman Drive. We put in an advance warning signal there just east of the tracks to notify motorists of the signal change at that intersection. That was completed in April. We also completed a detention basin on Suncrest Drive. This was creating some flooding issues in Highland. So those, excuse me, those improvements were finished in April also of this year. Lone Peak Parkway widening. This is in advance of the upcoming federally funded project. This is Willow Springs. We had to widen the culvert which previously came out to about here on each side. So now it's wide enough for that widening project. You can see on this, this is 126.50 south, and this will extend all the way to 123rd south. Currently, as you go north from 126, it does almost a right angle turn there. So that will be eliminated. This project has been a long time coming. It's a very steep cost due to the right-of-way acquisitions. And it's been delayed because in our studies we found out that 123rd needs some significant improvements. This is probably, it probably has the worst intersection in the city. This is one of the most problematic areas in the city. UDOT has recognized that. They've done some studies. Some environmental clearances is about to wrap up on the 123rd. And this work on 123rd all the way from I-15 to west of this intersection will be done in conjunction with our project. So that's kind of what slowed it down. We're still hoping for next year. that could, it's looking more like a long shot at this point. We could definitely get it started and have a multi-year project, but I'm really not fond of multi-year projects where we have to put it on pause over the winter with no activity happening. So we'll see what happens, but that's kind of, oh, and one thing is we just did get some last week funding for corridor preservation funds the county so if things worked out the way we anticipate we'll get close to a million dollars in quarter preservation funds this is our big project that we're currently doing 138 south this is our third phase As we've talked many times, we're adding all the storm drain upgrades, curb gutter, sidewalk, and road reconstruction all the way to 1300 East. So the widening portion and then the reconstruction, it will really benefit this area, especially in the flooding events that they see often. What's the timeframe? Are we on schedule with that? We're mostly on schedule. We got some delays due to pipe, RCP pipe. Geneva's had some new equipment that broke down and they couldn't produce pipe for almost two months. So they're a little bit behind on that, but it's general. They're still committed to hitting the date, which right now is October 1st. almost always gets pushed back a little bit. This will be open during Draper days. It won't be asphalted, but there will be access through the construction area. We're hoping not a lot of people use it. It's because it is a construction zone, but because of the limitations in traffic elsewhere with the parade, we felt like we needed to have that open, so. 700 East and Willow Springs. This has been a flooding event that happens almost annually when the creek rises, if it rises to the point where this is actually a low point. And this is just south of Willow Springs on 7th East, right in this area. You've probably seen that before, right by the high school. Water actually comes from the creek and flows in and out of our catch basins here and it's ruined the road. So we're going to come in and extend that pipe down lower in the creek so that the water will enter at a lower elevation and won't be able to make it all the way back up. 700 West, this is just south of 114 South. We worked with UDOT to get approval to tie into their storm drain system, which solves most of our issues for storm drain in that area. We still have to come before you. We're still working on trying to figure out a way to put a path or a sidewalk on one side on 700 West that will extend the full length. But we, so that should be coming soon. This is the property that we just sold. This is gonna be a regional detention basin in blue here. It's gonna be in the park strip outside of the developed area. But we're also installing some improvements to the drainage in this area and eliminating a different smaller detention basin on a private property over here where we have an easement. This area actually does have flooding occasionally. This should really help that situation. Up in Suncrest, I talked to you about this last time I think. There's an area on the backside where our water line is directly below the guardrail. And the guardrail back when it was installed doesn't meet code today. It needs to be about a foot deeper. And by putting it a foot deeper, we would hit the water line. So we can't relocate the water line. It really leaves us with little option. But to use a concrete barrier, I'm telling you this because I know we're going to get some comments on this. It's really a matter of the expense to relocate that water line and design it where we need to replace a failing guardrail. This really is the best option and cheapest option by far. But people do get excited when a concrete barrier goes up. So this area on the east side of this is lower. So it will, just like it does on traverse as you're going up the hill, or I guess down if you're coming down from Suncrest. You know, it does obstruct some view, but really over time, I think people get used to it. I don't know. But from a standpoint, you know, of safety, this needed to be changed. And so that's what we're doing. The water line will just stay where it is and we'll put in the concrete barrier. Is there any questions about that? How does that impact the bike lane? It shouldn't impact it. We're just going to put it like right on top of the curb is my understanding anyway. So it really shouldn't affect the travel way at all. Like in the concrete barrier on Traverse, it is actually the curb that the water runs against. So it'll be similar. That's my understanding. Another interesting thing is there's only one company that does guardrail in this whole area. And so they're in high demand. They're very difficult to get. That's why it's taken us so long to get to this point. We did part of it last year and then we found these issues with other utilities, including Questar or whatever they're called now, the gas company. Enbridge, they were in a similar situation where our guard rail's right on top of their gas line. So they're actually relocating their gas line And we will be replacing the guardrail when that relocation is done. So the work that you're seeing out there right now, if you've driven up there recently on the road, that's Enbridge relocating their gas line. So we obviously want them to get that relocated before we put down the concrete barriers. That won't be a concrete barrier. That will be a guardrail. So the other, the previous one, well, this one here is, on the backside of Suncrest, it will be, this is the concrete barrier. It's about 1,000 feet. It's further down the hill. And we have recently trained our guys. We've sent them to the required training so that they can now install guardrails. Whenever there's a crash into our guardrail, it's always a problem for us because we can't get anyone out to fix it. So it's just a problem that we've found a solution now in the house. So that'll be good. Every year we try to do at least one or two connecting sidewalk projects out of our sidewalk gap program. This is the one that we're doing this year. This is on Highland Drive. It's just a little section just north of or east of the railroad bridge that's a gap, and we're going to put in stamped concrete and move the sidewalk closer to the curb, but at least we'll have that connection. Scott, can I ask you a question on this while you're at this? Sure. On Rambling and Highland, there's that light. I take that road 100 times a week. I've seen people take the wrong turn probably four times a week. So maybe that light on the way to the temple on Highland and Rambling. Right. So they're coming down from rambling? No, they're trying to go up. So turning left on rambling from Highland. Turning left on rambling. Do you mind looking at that for me, please? Sure. Because there are people who drive really fast on that road. I'm partly to blame. I've done that. So they go straight on the turn lane? Is that what happens? And while they're trying to take a left on rambling, there's that light. It sometimes dims, sometimes turns on. But we need something there. Okay. So rambling doesn't have a light. Yeah, rambling doesn't have a light. No, it doesn't have a light, but there's a street light. Okay. And I've seen people miss. Guys, I'm not joking. Oh, they can't see the road. Yep. So they take the other lane rather than taking the outer lane. Yeah, so there's a merge before that if you're heading west. And so you're saying they don't merge into the north lane? They take the incoming road rather than going complete right. We'll take a look at that. That's probably a striping and maybe a lighting issue that we can look at. Going towards the temple. But then they turn in the down. They turn in the down road. I've seen it. There are a few senior citizens go up there every day. And trust me, guys. I wish I could. I have a dash cam recording. I can send that to you. Yeah, that would be great. That would be excellent. Anything like that's very helpful for us. A lot of times we get complaints and we try to figure it out because when we go during the day, we don't see the issues sometimes. So that would be very helpful. And good job on that 146th precaution light. That's solid. Yeah, that's great. It's very helpful. Appreciate that. So our 2025 pavement maintenance projects, there's going to be various locations throughout the city where we're crack sealing and slurry sealing. We always get complaints about this every year. I told my guys this year that, I mean, we got a lot of them last year, that we'll just let people know the areas that we did last year, they can go see it. Because whenever we do these, it's always rough. the first month or so and then it settles down as more traffic gets on it so just just know that that's a common complaint and it's you know we can provide uh those streets that we did last year that people were complaining on last year that they can go look at if that's helpful in addition to that we have south mountain phase nine reconstruction It's a residential area. And then also the Draper Parkway reconstruction, excuse me, this is at 13th East, will extend north past Draper Parkway. So some of Draper Parkway and then extending north. Okay, that's it. Do you have any questions for me? Scott, I have a quick question. back on the 7th East Willow Springs project. Do you know when you're going to be done? Are you on time with that one? 7th East and Willow Springs? I don't know the time frame, but it's not a very big project. So, excuse me. As far as I know, it's on schedule. Any other questions for Scott? Thank you, Scott. Next, Parks Capital Improvements. Mr. Ogden. Thank you, Mayor, Council. I did have a few projects go over with you real quick just to give you an update on where we're at. Some who have recently finished and then others that are in various stages. If you have any questions, please. As always, feel free to ask. I just wanted to review real quick ones that we've recently completed. This was a trail project up on the Utah County side of Suncrest, the Rattle and Hum. If you remember, we didn't have a way to get from the trailhead, so we built the trail from the trailhead so you can now start from the top. And then we reworked all of the trail on Rattle and Hum. It's much better, the berms are much better. We took out the slow part. So it's ready to go. Again, this was funded by the Trails Foundation, but it is done. Just really quick on this one up at Deer Ridge. We've had a lot of activity. We just put this in the conservation as you know, but we've also finished three trails. So the first two we did, they've been in use for a few months. that some of you have been on, I know, is the Beware of Doug, which is a multi-use trail, and the Rex Maneuver, which is a foot only in this yellow section. This is actually an old base map. It doesn't quite look like that. Then we also just finished the one that we're calling Off the Beaten Path, which is this three-mile loop that goes all the way around the property. It is quite off the beaten path, but it's a fantastic trail, great views. So these are all done and ready for public enjoyment. If you have any questions, let me know. And then another trail project was Dobbins Way Trail. We finished this one about two weeks ago. I got a text from Mr. Dobbins himself saying that he loved it, he'd rode it, he thought it was a great trail and that it was built well, so that was good to hear. It's a great connector trail and done. And then lastly, I debated whether to put this in completed or in progress, but it's gonna be done in about a week. This is where we've talked a lot about this and we finally got it done, which is great, but on the south side of Maple Hollow where there's nothing to retain the water and it just runs down and it wipes out the trails all the time. Well, we now have four brand new bridges across those hazardous drainages, so it looks great. We're going to be repairing one of the bridges. We didn't replace it, but we're just going to do some upgrades on it. So that'll be five bridges. It'll be four brand new, one reworked. And by next week, this one really should be complete, but they look great. So it's a great addition to our trail system. So real quick, just want to go through what we're working on now. This one was just here. It is all but finished and probably would have been, but they had... painted and striped the basketball court wrong. We probably could have made it work, but I made them repaint it and restripe it so that it was done correctly. But again, this is over on the west side of Draper in the inauguration neighborhoods. It would be a fantastic addition to these residents. And it's really turned out great. I'm really happy with it. So it's a pickleball court and a basketball court with a new picnic pavilion. over in bubbling brook park so we have our final inspection next week so this one should be done and ready to schedule a ribbon cutting with mayor and council this one i'm pleased so it's completed and current been working on this one for quite a while last week we finished phase two and if i can give everyone on our staff some it turned out fantastic. I'd encourage you to go look at it, but. We now have the paved trail in so we have a paved trail from 123rd to 114th, which isn't a small thing. It looks great. If you were to solve. You know, see the area before. We started phase two. It really looked like a mess with all the junk trees in the in the River Corridor. Those are all gone and we took out. I don't know how many. hundreds of tons of trees. We cleaned up the river. We made two different beach areas for water access. There's the hammock garden, the trails. There's a lot of native vegetation that looks really good. So if you have a minute, drive on over. And besides finishing that, sorry. Can you point out the paved trail on that? Yeah. Just wanted to make sure I'm seeing it. So right here is where we picked up where it was paved behind the homes, behind the substation. And so all of this is brand new. So we'll go all the way through the park. And then it comes up. Well, it's right here is where it picks up into phase one. And so this part was done in phase one, which we've already opened. And people use it every day. So from here to here is what phase two we just recently completed. That's great. Yeah, it'll be really neat. Phase three we're working on. I had a meeting with some key staff today. We finished our red lines with the design. So we hope to have that finished and out to bid by next month in August. So that should go out to bid. And then depending on the timing and which contractors we can work with, I think we can get a lot of phase three finished this winter or before winter, depending on how long winter, before winter comes. But we'll get a majority of it done. We're in hopes before winter, and then as soon as weather breaks in early 26, we can get back on it and finish it by summer of next year, phase three. And again, that'll be full-size grass athletic fields, two lighted pickleball courts, a multi-use court with basketball, soccer striped. We're actually gonna do a mini bike park right here in this area. We're seeing a ton of Destruction in a lot of our parks with some of the e-bikes and stuff. So we thought we're gonna try and do a developed area So they'll leave some of the other stuff alone, which I think is gonna be really neat Another restroom another parking lot stuff like that in phase three. So they're really it's really coming. Well, the designs looking great And moving on to some of the others that are currently Won't spend a whole lot of time on this because it's nearly done. I This is, remember, we had an agreement with Lehigh City to build trails on Draper City property. They're primarily Lehigh City managed trails. The Mayor's Trail and Lehigh's Dream have been done for a little bit. And the footpath is nearly finished. It's got probably a few more weeks and should be finished. So just for your information, those that are on Draper City property, they're all but done and should be done this summer. lehigh's dream trail is done yes that's a directional bike trail downhill bike trail carpe diem if you remember last year we re-designated it as the downhill bike trail so now we are in the process it's closed right now those of you have been on it would know that this first part when it got built before the second half it was built a lot different it was built as a technical trail it's it's very hard it's rough it's And it was two-way directional where we had a lot of issues. So it's now directional downhill bike only. So this top part, the first half is being rebuilt. We're trying to stay in the corridor as much as possible, but it's being rebuilt to look more like the second half. And it will be a great bike trail over on the east side. So it's currently under construction and should be done later this summer. A few others, Hocktoon Baby, we really haven't. It's funded, but we, again, it's going to be help paid for by the Corner Canyon Trails Foundation, but we really haven't done a whole lot other than you've given the permission to rework it. Hopefully we can take out what I'd call the boring part on this trail where you have to pedal a lot on a downhill flow trail. It doesn't work well, so we'll try and fix some of those areas. I liked that trail, Rhett. I didn't see the problem. I do too, but there is definitely some of the berms and stuff that need some touch up. So that will be later this year, probably in the spring. Porter Rockwell had another meeting with staff today. This one's coming along well. We've got final red lines again. So our next step here is to get with UTA. This is our proposed alignment. We're going to have a cut here. Our first option would be to just cut through the tracks. That would save a whole lot of additional trail so that if we just cut instead of have to build up the trail to meet the track grade. But this will be a huge help to help with traffic flow in this area for all the bikes and the joggers that, you know, It's really sad to have a bridge right there never being used and have to come down on the street and wait for the lights and everything. This will be such a nice diversion to use the established bridge and go right over it. So we have made contact with UTA. I talked to Mayor Walker last week. Probably try and use some of his knowledge with UTA and get this final approval and then get it constructed. This is a very simple project, but in my opinion, it's a very neat one. It's not a sexy project or get a lot of publicity, but for the people that live in this area of Draper, it's an awesome project. So in reality, we're just been working with a resident, Mr. Coulter, to use some of his property, which he's volunteered to give us an easement that will connect from the Cranberry Hills neighborhood to the to the Porter Rockwell Trail. So instead of having to walk all the way around to get on a trail that's right behind their neighborhood, we'll have a neighborhood access right there, which will be really nice for those residents. And we plan to do that fall of this year. So it's in the design phase right now. It'll be a six foot paved access to the Jordan River, or excuse me, to Porter Rockwell. In the last few, This one we did a lot last year, it's been a huge help build a new storage garage. We've got a lot of yard for a lot of our trails crews. This has become a lot more used as we've started phasing out Fitzgerald and the Pixton property. And as that gets developed with our town center, this is gonna become even more important. So our last phase is lots to get surveyed. We need to get the fence in the right place right now. It's not quite, we're losing a few feet, so we'll get that corrected. We'll get some new fencing up, some crushed granules, a little bit of concrete, but it'll make a really nice storage area for our department. And that's right behind the Parks and Rec office. This is the one I know a lot of you had asked for. You've had some residents asking about this. If you look up here in this picture, We had two parks side by side which had chain link fence and huge trees and the inauguration neighborhood couldn't access the Sunrise Park which is developed and nice without cutting holes in fences. We spent thousands of dollars replacing fences or they're walking along the canal or using some pretty dangerous homemade bridges. So we've now went in and cleaned it up. We took out all the junk trees. We've taken out the fence. So our next steps will be is really combining this into one nice park, which serves both inauguration and sunrise neighborhoods. It'll be a really nice park for both neighborhoods now. So quite excited about that. It'll be great for the west side of Draper. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this. It's kind of on hold. And then this last one, I guess we just wanted to, more than anything, just bring your awareness to. It'd be a proposed or a potential project. It's currently not funded. We did, this last grant cycle, apply for a grant from the state Office of Outdoor Recreation, and we're approved. It is a 50-50 matching grant, but I guess just so you know, on the BST in Spring Hollow, we've repaired this. I want to say at least three times, and we can't do it anymore. This channel, I've got pictures from 10, 12 years ago where it was two feet wide. It's now a gorge, and we are a big rainstorm or two from losing this whole bridge, which would impact the Bonneville Shoreline Trail would be out of commission. So it's a... It's a fairly important thing, but I just wanted to put it on your radar. Again, it's not funded. It would take a bridge like this. Is that the one that's located up over by Red Rock? Yes, exactly, right by. If you park at Red Rock Trailhead and walk up just a little bit, that's right where it is. This one's not really a matter of this, but it's on its last days, so we may want to... look at fixing this so we don't lose access in this area to the Bonneville shoreline trail. Do we have any funding that we can move for this one? Because it is, it's sketchy. Yeah, I'd hate to pass up the grant, so I think we can scour a little bit, look in the seat cushions, so to speak, and try to find that money. I think we'd have to come back with a budget amendment to do that. We would, a budget amendment. But, yeah, it would be roughly $100,000 project. We would have to fund the whole thing. Again, we got $50,000 from the state, so they would then reimburse us the $50,000 that we got awarded from the grant. Is there a way to make it wider than five feet? Yeah, we can make it as wide as we want. For $200,000? Yeah. That's what I mean. I don't know. But how wide is it right now? The existing one is wider than five, isn't it? I'll bet it's five feet, the current one. Okay. I'll bet you it's another hundred. I don't know, but I'm guessing. Yeah. So we can look at it, but we just need to realign the trail to get the distance for the bridge. But we do a new bridge, and it would... Be a next lifetime. And that bar across there is to slow the bikers down so that if they hit that. That one goes in and out depending on who's coming down the trail next. If you don't like them, you just stuff it in there. That's just a rendering though, right? Is that why it looks more narrow than? Yeah, this is just an example of what a proposed bridge that side would look like that we would then place over our actual trails. Yeah, this is just an example. But you're right. In this example, it does look narrow. That was all I had, unless there's any questions I can answer. Mr. Mayor, I've just got one question for Rhett. Since we're mid-summer, can you give a report on the revegetation of the slide area, how that's been taking this season? Yeah, I was just up there last week, looked at it again. In my opinion, and looking from the top of the road, walking down a little bit, it has taken fantastic. I WAS VERY HOPEFUL IT WOULD TAKE, A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS, BUT IT'S REALLY, REALLY TAKEN WELL. THE NATIVE SEED THAT WE PLANT, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE REQUIRED THAT THE HYDRO SEEDING BE PUT DOWN FOUR TIMES THE RECOMMENDATION, JUST IN HOPES IT WOULD MAKE IT THROUGH THE WINTER WELL, BUT IT'S, THE WHOLE SLIDE AREA IS PRETTY MUCH RE-VEGETATED NOW. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THE, JUST ANY TREE SPROUTS OF ACORNS YET. THEY MAY BE THIS FALL. Sometimes they can take longer, maybe they didn't take. So we'll probably still have to work on some trees and brush oak revegetation, but the hydroseeding took fantastic. It really looks well. If you haven't seen it, you can just go drive up to the top of the road and look down and you can see the difference. I rode through it yesterday and it looks really good. Good question. Mayor, I have a quick question. I KNOW THE PHOEBE BROWN TRAIL HAS BEEN DISCUSSED RELATIVELY RECENTLY. WHERE IS THAT IN PRIORITY? THAT WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE COUNCIL PROBABLY IN A COUPLE OF MEETINGS. OKAY. THANKS. GOOD QUESTION. MAYOR, THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE IS I THINK, NOT TO BELABOR IT, I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY FIND A WAY THAT WE CAN GET THAT BRIDGE FIXED UP THERE ON I can't remember the name of it. It's on the Bonaventure Trail. Yeah. All right, anybody else have any questions for Rhett or comments about it? Thank you, sir. It's a lot of projects, a lot of good stuff getting done. All right, that takes us to 7. I propose we take a five-minute break before we convene our regular city council meeting. So we'll be back in five minutes. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our city council meeting this evening. I'd like to call our meeting to order. We are missing one council member. She's out of town, but we have a quorum, so we're ready to go. Our first item, second item on our agenda is the Pledge of Allegiance, which will be led this evening by our Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Spencer Duchesne. Go ahead, sir. Thank you, Spencer. Item number three is an opportunity for general public comment. We have one public hearing, looks like one public hearing on our agenda. If you're here for that public hearing, which is item number six, we ask that you wait to make public comment for that to keep our record clear. But if you'd like to make a general public comment, is there anyone here that would like to make one? Come on up, sir. Our rules are, if you haven't been here, the clock to my right is set at three minutes. Give us your name and address. And that will start the time, and go ahead, sir. All right, hello. My name is Steve Crook. I live at 891 East, 12200 South, here in Draper. And so I'm here tonight to go on record to request assistance from the Draper City to establish an easement on a piece of land next to my home, located at approximately 900 East and 122nd South. I've asked for this information several times since July 1st, but still have not received an answer. Step a little closer to that mic, sir. Okay, so I have asked for this information several times since July 1st, but still have not received an answer. This is a time sensitive issue and my time is running out. This land was recently vacated and will be sold soon. I'm trying to get an easement established before that happens. This land has been the only access to my detached garage for the 30 years that I've lived there. It is also my only means of access to my property that I own on the east side of this vacated land. I WAS TOLD BY DRAPER CITY THAT I WAS UNABLE TO ESTABLISH AN EASEMENT ON THIS LAND PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT WAS A PUBLIC RIDE AWAY UNTIL IT WAS VACATED LAST YEAR. I'M HOPING TO GET THIS EASEMENT ESTABLISHED BEFORE THIS LAND IS SOLD SO THAT I WILL NOT HAVE TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE BUYER AFTER THE SALE. SO I'M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN TRYING TO ESTABLISH AN EASEMENT ON THIS PIECE OF LAND. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT? Come on up. Hi, I'm Stacy Williams. And I live at 378 West 13240 South. Two years ago, I came in with an issue with the parking on our street. And I did a, what do you call it, the petition. And you guys did take care of the parking on the street, except for the signs were taken on the wrong side of the street. And now we are having a huge problem parking issues with the apartments that are there. It's like their permanent spot. And we're having a hard time getting out of our driveways. Our children who live at our home or come home late at night do not have a parking place. If they were to park in front of our home where the signs are, we will be fined. We will get ticketed. And we have paid several tickets. I propose that we try to do some kind of permit only for residential. and try to weed out the apartment complex parking because they have taken up the entire street where it is hard for us to get out of our driveways. Currently, right now, I wouldn't even be able to get my trailer out of my driveway, let alone get it back in. Or try to get the apartments to put up a perimeter fence that does not exist. Thank you. All right, thank you. We'll have our traffic team look into that for you. Thank you. Anyone else like to make a general public comment? Come on up. Hi, Jeremy Wilson, 352 West, 13240 South. I'm Stacy's neighbor. Just ditto to everything that she said. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Anyone else? All right, seeing no further public comment, we'll close our general public comment period and go to item number four. And this is item four is a presentation we're going to have on the 2025 Moderate Income Housing Report. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED AND WANT TO KNOW WHY WE'RE HAVING THIS, WE ARE, AGAIN, REQUIRED TO HAVE A MODERATE INCOME HOUSING PLAN BY OUR OVERLORD, THE LEGISLATURE. GO AHEAD, SIR. THANK YOU. AS INDICATED, THIS IS A REPORT THAT WE MUST SUBMIT TO THE STATE EVERY YEAR. IT'S DUE ON AUGUST 1ST. THE REPORT IS ON OUR MODERATE INCOME HOUSING PLAN, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFICALLY CHAPTER 4, THE HOUSING ELEMENT, WHICH WAS AMENDED LAST YEAR. The report is mostly a carryover from last year's report, and an outline was provided to you in your packet. So we'll be reporting, the state has wanted to know how many entitled units we have, specifically those that are entitled that have not received a building permit. Staff is still currently calculating all of these numbers, so I've just provided last year's numbers for reference. So last year we had 4,194 entitled units that had not received a building permit. And then the state has also asked that we break that down into which of those units have received will serve letters. Typically those are received as part of the subdivision process. So we had 299 residential units that had received will serve letters out of that 4,194. The state's also asking for data on the number of accessory dwelling units. So again, last year's numbers, we had the total number of accessory dwelling units that were recorded were 35. The total number of building permits issued just during the period of last year was six. And then the total number of ADU permits that were issued last year was 10. So again, staff is working on getting this data still, and it will be included in the report. And I believe we provide a copy to you once we've completed that report and submitted it. The next big portion of the report is reporting on our progress on the strategies. So I'm just going to run through our strategies. basically sort of what we've accomplished. So strategy E is our new strategy that we adopted last year. So that's reducing regulations related to accessory dwelling units. We passed the general plan amendment in September, and then we followed that up with some text amendments in November to allow the homeowner to live in either the accessory dwelling unit or the primary home. And then we also decreased the regulations and allowed the lot sizes for IEDU deviations to be decreased so people could apply for those. Strategy O is partnering with an entity to basically pool funds for the construction of moderate income housing. This has been complete for a while. So in 2023, a resolution was passed to enter into an agreement with salt lake county and that agreement runs through june 30th of 2027. strategies f and w are similar so it's rezoning for higher density or moderate income residential in commercial or mixed use zones near major transit investment corridors and then also adopting our station area plans So as you're aware, we adopted our town center stationary plan in March, and then it was certified in May by WFRC. The next step in that process was we provided that plan to our code update consultant so that they can start incorporating standards as potentially a new zone for the town center. Kimball's Lane, Crescent View, and Draper Frontrunner, we just talked about that. We had all that outreach and tentatively we're looking at August 28th for the planning commission and September 2nd for city council to adopt those plans. Strategies G and J are also similar. So it's amending land use regulations to allow for higher density or moderate income residential development and implementing zoning incentives for moderate income units. And so what we're really reporting on on this one is our comprehensive code update. which is still in process. Currently, staff, actually, sorry, in September, we held a joint city council and planning commission work session. And since that time, the consultant's been working on draft chapters and staff has been reviewing those. So we've received three chapters that we're providing comments back to the consultant on. We're also going to mention other methods for incentivizing moderate income housing that the city's been working on, specifically our workforce housing partnerships, the seven units that we have with Ivory and Big Willow. And just as an update, two units of those have been occupied and the range in prices is from 390,000 to 475,000. And then also mentioning the minimum of 30 units of workforce housing that the development agreement with Edge Homes requires. The last part of the report is the state asking for feedback and recommendations. So last year we requested that the state provide housing supply data, planning and technical assistance, and case studies for strategies. And then we also uh... provide some other comments that it'd be nice if they provided examples of where and how these strategies are working and that they allow each jurisdiction more flexibility to find solutions that work for us if any of you have any additional comments that you'd like to have us include in this year's report for feedback and recommendations to state that's welcome otherwise we can continue with our previous comments that concludes my presentation You have any questions? Any questions for Todd? Todd, I don't know that you have the answer to this question, but what do we have, a total of 10 ADUs? So the total was 35, and then the 10 was the ones that were permitted last year. Yeah, that's what I meant, the last year. So we only have 35 recorded. How many do you think we really have out there? I mean, it's hard to even... I couldn't take a guess. I don't know if somebody else would like to take a guess. So, yeah, we don't really know how many there are. We know there's more than have come in. I will say since we did that text amendment last year, creating that deviation option for the smaller lots for the internal, we've gotten quite a few of those deviation requests. SO THAT HAS BEEN GETTING PEOPLE TO COME IN. SO HOPEFULLY WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE PEOPLE COMING IN AND GETTING THOSE PERMITS. BUT THOSE ARE REQUESTS. THOSE AREN'T YET RECORDED OR ANYTHING IS WHAT YOU'RE ON THEM. MOST OF THEM, THE ADUs HAVEN'T BEEN BUILT WHERE WE MAY HAVE IN THE LAST YEAR APPROVED THE DEVIATION. THEY HAVEN'T BUILT THE ADU YET. OKAY. AND HOW MANY OF THAT 4,100 OR SO OF THE ENTITLED UNITS ARE OVER on the west side there by the eBay building, the ivory stuff. Do we have any idea? If my eyesight will work. Oh, geez. This is really small in this lighting. Do you know how many numbers? That's just a lot of entitled units we have. The majority of those are probably through our, by the front runner station. I know we probably have two, three hundred. Single family, lots that are vested and unbuilt, you know, recorded and unbuilt. There are some townhomes, things like that, around the valley. The majority of those are going to be by frontrunner. Okay, thanks. Sorry, I finally was able to read. About 1,600 units are in Vista Station. It's all part of that 190,000 entitled units that are across the 66 cities in the middle of the housing crisis, I might add. That are already to be built, entitled. Just entitled, not built. But wherever any developer has a couple acres, we have an acute housing crisis, generally speaking. Sorry for the commentary. Thanks, Todd. Any other questions for Todd? Thank you, sir. Thanks. All right. Item 5 is items on for consent. Item 5A is approval of the July 1, 2025 City Council Meeting Minutes. Item 5B is approval of Resolution 2538, a resolution reappointing Nancy Nichols and Christina Hutchinson to the Draper City Historic Preservation Commission. Is there a motion? Mr. Mayor? Ms. Bloudry? I move we approve consent items 5A and 5B. Motion by Ms. Faudrey to approve consent item 5A and B. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Johnson. Further discussion? Seeing none, Ms. Faudrey, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Items approved unanimously, four to zero. Item number six is next. This item for council consideration, item 6A. This is the public hearing regarding the providing of local consent for a hospitality amenity, license for Draper Hotel Holdings LLC, DBA Homewood Suites. We'll have a staff report by Mr. Travis Geong. Go ahead, sir. All righty. So here's the property. Hotel right here along Banger Highway. And what does the hospitality amenity license allow you to do? It allows a hotel to store, sell, and serve all kinds of alcoholic beverages on the premises for a hospitality social event. And there are some distance requirements, of course. So the establishment has to be 600 feet away, measured by shortest pedestrian route to the nearest community location, or within, has to be 200 feet away, measured by straight line, at least, of a community location. Those are schools, churches, public playgrounds, parks, and public libraries. Looking at the shortest pedestrian route here. Here's the Jordan River Parkway and it's well over 600 feet away, more than 3,000 feet, so they meet that standard. Then we have the 200 foot measurement and nothing comes close to, no community location comes close to touching that, so they meet that requirement as well. Then the action tonight is to provide local consent or deny local consent. And I should note there's no limitation on the number of hospitality amenity licenses granted by the city. And this would be the first one. Thank you, sir. Any questions? All right. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone here that would like to address the council on item 6A? Good evening, counselors. I'm Tanner Leonard, and I am an attorney representing this entity. If anyone has any questions for me, I'm happy to answer them. Give us your business address, would you please? It is 200 South, 257 East, and that's in Salt Lake City. Do you need the address of the business? That's good. Thank you. All right. Anyone, any questions for the applicant? All right. Thank you. Thank you. All right, to anyone from the public, again, that would like to address the council. All right, seeing none, we'll close the public hearing, bring it back to the council. Mr. Mayor? Mr. Lowry? I'd like to make a motion. We approve item 6A. All right, motion by Mr. Lowry to approve item 6A. Is there a second? I'll second it, Mr. Mayor. Seconded by Mr. Green. Any further discussion? All right, seeing none, Mr. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Mr. Green. Yes. Ms. Johnson. Yes. Ms. Vaudrey. Yes. Items approved unanimously, four to zero. It takes us to a need to recess to the Draper City Community Redevelopment Agency meeting. Is there a motion? Mr. Mayor, I move that we enter the Draper City Community Redevelopment Agency meeting. Motion by Mr. Green. Second. Second by Ms. Vaudrey. Mr. Green, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Faudrey? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. All right. And I'm just approved unanimously. We are convened in the ever-exciting Community Reinvestment Agency meeting. Item number one is a call to order, which we're now doing. Item number two is items for council consideration. 2A is a motion for approval of the June 17, 2025 Community Reinvestment Agency meeting minutes. Is there a motion? Mr. Mayor, so moved. Motion by Ms. Vaudrey to approve the minutes. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Johnson. Further discussion? Seeing none, Ms. Vaudrey, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Minutes are approved unanimously, four to zero. Item 2B is an action item. It's approval of Resolution CRA 2505. It's a resolution adopting the 2025 Annual Report of the Community Reinvestment Agency of Draper City. It looks like we have not Jason, we have the guy, the main guy. Mr. Burning, come on up, sir, and give us your report. Thank you. Mr. Chair, members of the Board of Trustees of the Community Reinvestment Agency, appreciate the opportunity to be here this evening. For the record, my name is Jason Burningham, principal and owner of LRB Public Finance Advisors. WE ARE THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE CITY, DRAPER CITY, AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCY. MY PURPOSE TONIGHT IS TO SHARE WITH YOU HOPEFULLY BRIEFLY JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE REQUIRED ANNUAL REPORT THAT THE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCY IS REQUIRED TO FIRST SUBMIT AND UPLOAD TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. which is the warehousing agent, if you will, for the state to provide transparency to public and anyone interested in understanding how these project areas work and where the monies are spent. So my purpose tonight, I think if I can navigate here, IS I DO WANT TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED AND UPLOADED THE REQUIRED REPORT ON OR BEFORE JUNE 30TH, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY ALL COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCIES, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES, AND THAT WAS DONE AND REPORTED IN TIME AND WE WERE CONSISTENT WITH SOME OF THE UPDATED REPORTS THAT WERE REQUIRED. I ALSO WANTED TO SPEND JUST A FEW MINUTES TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE RECENTLY SEEN BY VIRTUE OF THE STATUTE AND HOW SOME OF THOSE PROVISIONS HAVE KIND OF NOW BEEN ADDED TO WHAT THE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT AGENCY NEEDS TO DO. AS YOU'RE AWARE, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, DRAPER CRA HAS SEVEN ACTIVE PROJECT AREAS. THREE OF WHICH ARE CURRENTLY RECEIVING TAX INCREMENT AND STILL ARE IN A COLLECTION PROCESS OF RECEIVING THAT OVER THE NEXT PERIOD OF TIME. THEY ALSO HAVE FUND BALANCES, MEANING THAT THERE'S UNEXPENDED TAX INCREMENT REVENUES THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH SPENDING FOR PROJECT AREA PLAN PROJECTS AND ALSO WORKING THROUGH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN EACH YEAR. I WANTED TO NOTE YOU ALSO HAVE FOUR PROJECT AREAS THAT ARE STILL DEEMED TO BE ACTIVE EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NO LONGER COLLECTING TAX INCREMENT YOU DO HAVE UNEXPENDED FUND BALANCES AND SO I'M GOING TO GO OVER THOSE TONIGHT BUT THERE'S A COUPLE OF THEM THAT WE REALLY NEED TO DISSOLVE OR SPEND THE FUND BALANCES OR RISK THOSE MONIES BEING USED ELSEWHERE EVEN uh... taken from the state from us to the state and utilize an affordable housing uh... that is the primary purpose of the the new legislation is to say hey if if you don't have a use for it and you can't demonstrate that you have a use once these project areas have ceased to collect increment then you really only have a five-year period in which to deploy the capital so uh... this is a quick overview of of what was collected and received EARLIER IN FISCAL YEAR, 2025, NOT YOUR CURRENT FISCAL YEAR BUT THE PREVIOUS YEAR BEFORE JUNE 30TH. THE FRONTRUNNER STATION GENERATES JUST OVER 4.1 MILLION. THE CRESCENT RDA JUST OVER TWO. SAND HILLS 600,000 OR SO. SOUTH MOUNTAIN CRA 1.4 MILLION. And then there's no generated increment right now from East Bangor. It's one of those that I mentioned probably needs to be dissolved once we fund or utilize the fund balances. Just kind of quickly go through Sandhill. Each project I'll go very briefly through, but just so you're aware, there is some success components here. We do measure through metrics of, WHETHER OR NOT THESE RDA PROJECT AREAS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL. ONE OF THE WAYS IN WHICH WE LOOK AT THAT IS WHAT THE BASE YEAR VALUE IS COMPARED TO THE CURRENT TAX YEAR VALUE. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS PROJECT BEFORE IT WAS REDEVELOPED, BEFORE ANY TYPE OF PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE OR ANYTHING WENT IN, THE TOTAL TAX VALUE OF THAT WAS ONLY $609,000. IT'S INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY OBVIOUSLY TO $138,000. million dollars of tax value so that's a 21,000 percent increase over that time. We don't have again any remaining life on this. We do have some fund balance that needs to be considered and spent within the project area but in terms of measurement this is a successful project. This is one that you know certainly even those opponents to tax increment financing would say well we can see where this has certainly added tax value to the various taxing entities. Recognizing that that tax value of 138 million, probably 60% of that is the benefit to the school district, right, directly. So we get a good portion, but the school district is really the majority there. It's a 60 plus acre project. Here's a breakdown of what's developed versus undeveloped. So most of it's developed, you can tell. Very small amount of vacant property, maybe less than, well, a little more than 10%. And then there is some residential components in here. Next, we look at just what we spent this year. Some of it went to administration costs, and then a small portion of it was fees related to professional, other technical services that were provided. The balance or the majority of the funds are intended to go towards infrastructure, either reimbursement to the city and to the RDA or to future projects that we're contemplating. There is a fund balance, so this $1,875,000 right now is scheduled within the capital improvement plan. I think one that you've, I think, adopted probably in your 26th. recent capital improvement budget. This 1.4 million I think is roads, road improvements and some other public infrastructure. So we believe that this will be adequately spent. Once the monies are spent, then we would suggest that this be dissolved. There is a process that we go through to dissolve that. That really saves you a little bit of time, effort and money because as long as they're active, you have to report on it. I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO REPORT. I MENTIONED THIS SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE MEASURE IN TERMS OF WHAT THE GROWTH RATE HAS BEEN. THE OTHER ONE IS FRONTRUNNER. YOU'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS. IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER TRANSIT ORIENTED TYPE OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THE STATE OF UTAH. measurably maybe the most significant and successful one when we consider all of the development that's occurred there. Again, $6 million, the base year value, now almost, you know, well over half a billion, $654 million of tax value. There's still 10 years remaining on the life of this project area. It's 300 acres, so it's a little bigger, obviously, than Sandhills, and you've got still 60-plus acres of undeveloped land that hopefully will be developed, and it does have some residential components. The reason we show the residential, that's an important consideration of the state when they audit these, is they want to make sure that part of the efforts of this is establishing affordable land housing but also reasonable housing options within the communities that create these projects so we report on how much of the acreage is dedicated to residential as well four million dollars as i mentioned is what was collected now the most of that is assigned to go to developers under a participation agreement. So much of it is reimbursement for costs that were previously installed by the developer. This is really just reimbursing them for those costs. And then you can see the percentages of the participation. Although there's a lot left still scheduled to be received, there's a lot intended to be reimbursed. And at the present time, we still have a fund balance of just under $4 million. That's also anticipated to be fully used and programmed as this project continues to move forward. How is the school district purchasing a large chunk of this project going to affect the tax assessed value and the revenue? Yeah, if we went, if I knew how to go back, let's see here. THAT WAS NEVER ANTICIPATED. IT WASN'T. THE GOOD NEWS IS WHEN WE MAKE OUR PROJECTIONS FOR THE REMAINING PERIOD OF TIME, 26 TO 35 TO 10 YEARS, WE HAVE ONLY INCLUDED PROJECTS THAT WE KNOW ARE IMMINENT IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT. SO UNLESS THEY'VE COME TO YOU WITH A BUILDING PERMIT OR SOME KIND OF PLAT RECORDATION OR SOME KIND OF PLANNING APPROVAL, then it wouldn't be factored into this. So I'm not sure specifically what property we are necessarily referring to. Well, they bought eBay's property. Oh, eBay, yeah, yeah. So, yes, I mean, there's no question that will have an impact, and that's probably something that we'll have to spend some time with Jared and John. and kind of evaluate that. I think on the tax rolls out of that $654 million or so, it's probably $70 million. So will that reduce then that amount of tax? Yep. So that will reduce the benefit of that. They bought themselves out of some money. That impacts them too. Well, it impacts them the most at the end of the day. Yeah, I mean, they're 60% of that pie. MY ESTIMATE IS THAT'S PROBABLY 10% OF THE INCREMENT THAT WOULD BE FLOWING THROUGH. RIGHT NOW, AS YOU RECOGNIZE, THERE'S NOT A LOT THAT FLOWS THROUGH TO THE AGENCY THAT'S KEPT BY YOU AND USED. MOST OF IT GOES BACK TO DEVELOPERS FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES. uh... there's there's both affects i mean it's impacting the tax entities because there is a portion that's passed through to you so you lose a portion because that goes off the tax rolls and obviously the developer reimbursements will also decline the good news is those participation agreements are clear that there's no guarantee of tax increment performance so the developer doesn't HAVE A CLAIM TO A CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNT, THEY ONLY HAVE CLAIM TO A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT IS COLLECTED. SO IF IT COMES OFF THE TAX ROLLS, THEN THAT'S THE RISK THAT THEY SHARE IN THAT. WE ALL COLLECTIVELY I GUESS SHARE IN THAT. SO I THINK THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. IT IS INTERESTING. YEAH. WE'LL SPEND TOO MUCH TIME THERE, BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CRESCENT RDA. AGAIN, A SIGNIFICANT value created 700 less than a million dollars of value create created now 220 281 million again seven years left on this particular project about 80 just under 90 acres most of again which is developed a little bit of vacant or what we would consider undeveloped or maybe underutilized project area and then there's a little bit of residential uh... that is you know built into this uh... the two million dollars which was the property tax increment that came the reason that this project area continues to be in place is based on some prior obligations that the city made relevant to qualified projects this is an important distinction because we're not necessarily using this for public improvements within the area These are for qualified parks, recreation, cultural benefits that were part of statute that were allowed for certain projects that were done at this time. And so what the city RDAs elected to do was to go out and do some parks, some trails, some recreation components for which you fronted the money using sales tax, revenue bonds, And then this is a source of repaying that. So that's why you'll see the debt service is what DS stands for. So the Series 14 bonds, we've got debt. Series 16 bonds, we have debt. But those are qualified recreation project for which the remaining amount of time is where all of that is pledged to go. So that's what Crescent is utilized for. This is just the total, which we estimate. There is quite a bit of fund balance, but there's also a lot of qualified projects. We probably just need to reconcile that through a review of the capital improvement project budget. But we want to make sure that the RDA is not continuing to just sit on that money. We probably need to think about how that's going to be utilized. South Mountain. This is actually a successful project, but for some of the nuances that have happened with Pluralsight. The way this was structured, we did create a lot of tax value. We also locked it in. I should say you locked it in with a pretty aggressive participation agreement with Pluralsight. Pluralsight has not met some of their requirements, their conditions. So what I just preface here is that there is a million four of annual tax increment roughly being generated. But as we speak, I guess tonight, Pluralsight still hasn't met some of the requirements in terms of sustaining jobs and some of those factors. And so I would anticipate over the next year year or so there'll be further direction and guidance on this of whether or not we continue to keep this project in place whether we go ahead and and dissolve it uh... because of that agreement with plural site which was really the motivation of why this project was created i think there's probably it's worthy of some discussion amongst this board to determine whether or not you just simply want to that increment back or whether or not there's meaningful infrastructure that needs to be taken care of within that project area. So for the time being, it still has, you know, a significant amount, 15, 16 years of life. The obligations, however, were primarily for Pluralsight and doesn't look like they're going to be able to meet those obligations. So again, that's... Does that mean that we haven't been collecting? No, they've been paying. So it's a matter of, through interlocal agreement, that's probably the best way to describe it, is you as the agency went out to each of the taxing entities, including your partner as yourself as the city, and you entered into an interlocal agreement. The county also entered into an interlocal agreement, the school district and others, where they said... Okay, whatever this incremental value is, we'll give you X percentage for a certain period of time. And so you have that, and nothing has defaulted or breached on that because value is created. So this 1.4 million does come to you. Separately, though, what you went out and did as an agency is you went to Pluralsight and entered into a development agreement or a participation agreement where you said, hey, if you'll generate X amount of jobs, if they can be audited every year, we want them to hit certain median target levels of, you know, we want them to be above average level wages. We want you to maintain that. We want other activity to occur there. And that's all spelled out in this development agreement. And that's what I'm referring to is that they haven't met those benchmarks. And so it doesn't, stop the agency from receiving the money but you're collecting it and really don't have an obligation to pay them right now and so it's it's a question of do you have uses for it or uh... are they gonna remedy potentially what they haven't satisfied and those are where the discussions uh... akin probably couldn't uh... applying right now where those are but my understanding has been that they see those hurdles as pretty significant. They're not sure that they're going to be able to make that just given the market and other things. But I don't want to speak to that that I haven't necessarily had directly with them. But it is something for you to know, to be concerned about at least from the perspective of if this 1.4 million is coming in and we're not obligated to share it with the purpose for the development, do we have other things under the plan that we ought to use it for and we've already looked at the plan documents because we helped with some of those and the budget documents and there's a lot of ways in which you could use the money so it's a question of do you want to or how do you want to use that is there a time period we need to declare them in default and then they have an obligation to cure and then we can go ahead and exercise our rights to spend that money how we want to yeah technically i think that's great uh mike yeah i think under the participation agreement there's like a cure period i don't know if there's even been anything sent to them specifically all i know is there has been a conversation with them essentially hey you're not meeting these are you going to meet it um So my sense is probably within this year, we really need to sit down with them and see whether there's a path forward. Maybe it's a path of, you know, maybe we reconsider this. Maybe we give you another agreement, but it's only at this level if you can meet some benchmarks. So I think you have everything from you pull the transaction and dissolve the project to... You don't, you keep it in place, and you rework another deal with Pluralsight. All of the above, I think, is what you need to consider. I don't want to do anything detrimental to a Draper business, and I want to obviously work with them, but I think we need to get a meeting on the books with the folks at Pluralsight and let's get a solution. If we need to work with them to get something that's workable for them, that's great. If not... do you think we should move forward in working through this rather than sooner than later? Can I interject for a second? My name is Jared Zacharias, so I'm the assistant finance director, and I am aware. I just want to make you aware that Mr. Dobbins, who we do work with as a consultant, is actively looking at this project specifically and working with people. So I think he's our first go-to to make sure that... HE HASN'T ALREADY STARTED SOME OF THIS STUFF. OKAY. LET'S FIGURE OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND START EXECUTING. THANK YOU. I THINK THAT'S A GOOD DIRECTION. WE WERE CONCERNED OBVIOUSLY JUST BECAUSE THERE'S SOME HEADLINE NEWS AND RISK RELATIVE TO PLURAL SITE. SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S UNKNOWN THAT THERE'S SOME ISSUES THERE. When we report this to GOEO and it's public, there is the question of performance. And one of the things that the state auditor has audited significantly with RDAs has been, well, are performance benchmarks being met? And are you measuring them? Are you reporting back to the other participating taxing entities about it? So we feel like we're all above board relative to that, but it is a question going forward what we want to do. I think that's a good suggestion. So the last couple of slides just deal with the active, what we would consider four active project areas, but you're no longer receiving tax increment. There's just fund balances that still exist. Specific to East Bangor, we have a housing requirement, so 20% of that still has to be used relative to affordable moderate income housing plan. It doesn't have to be used exclusively within East Bangor. It can be used throughout the city, but it needs to be programmed. And then 2.1 million of that needs to be also programmed and potentially used within East Bangor or come up with an alternative plan to divert it to housing, et cetera. Gateway, not concerned because all of the project fund balances have been expended and we are working with the staff to dissolve that particular project area. So that does require your approval of resolution and ultimately the city of an ordinance to dissolve that Gateway project area. Then the last two, Sandhills, as I mentioned, We just have that remaining fund balance of the $1.8 million. Last year was our final year of collection. We have the $1.8 million that still needs to be expended. Once it is expended this year, because it's in your CIP budget, then we would also recommend that being dissolved. The West Freeway is in the same boat. As soon as we spend the $200,000, we would dissolve that. OUR GOAL HERE IS FOR EACH OF THOSE FOUR ACTIVE PROJECT AREAS THAT ARE NO LONGER RECEIVING TAX INCREMENT, THAT WE GET THE FUND BALANCES EXPENDED, PROGRAMMED, AND THEN DISSOLVE THOSE, AND THEN YOU JUST HAVE THOSE THREE ACTIVE PROJECT AREAS THAT YOU'RE COLLECTING ON. CAN I JUST ASK ONE QUESTION? YES. Sandhills expired last year, so is it five years from 2024 or five years from this year? Yeah, great question. So it actually becomes five years. So there was the earlier of either five years from the expiration of the collection period or five years from May 15th, 2024, which was the date of the legislation. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, OUR FIVE YEARS I BELIEVE ACTUALLY STARTED MAY 15TH OF 2024. OKAY. SO. AND SIMILARLY FOR THE WEST FREEWAY, WHEN WAS THAT ONE? THAT ONE WE DO HAVE FROM THE SAME DATE. IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO THAT IT WAS, SO OUR EARLIER IS THE MAY 14TH, 2024. SO FIVE YEARS FROM THAT PERIOD. REALLY ALL OF THEM NOW ARE THE MAY 14TH BECAUSE except for Sandhills would have been a question if it would have expired this year, but it expired last year. And I think that is that presentation. There is, I think, available and has been available to the city. We've also provided it to the taxing entities and GOEO.
