Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 25, 2020 Page 8 of 24 Moline mentions that in a past public comment, the topic of mineral estate was mentioned. Do you know the status of mineral estate or any conflicts we need to be made aware? Zuccaro says he is not aware of any conflicts. Through the review process though, the applicant is required to provide that certification. Moline says that in regards to Criteria C, it talks about changes in site conditions. Could you elaborate more on that? Zuccaro says that the comprehensive plan was originally written with the ConocoPhillips project in mind. Some of the policies seem written for that project. He mentions that he thinks the commissioners could find that a change to the comprehensive plan is appropriate because a single type user is no longer interested in the property and therefore, a mixed -use development scenario is more likely for this area. Brauneis states that regarding staff's recommendations for the GDP that would indicate that improvements to the Highway 36 interchange could be required before later portions of the development could proceed. Zuccaro says that is correct. That is what staff is recommending. Brauneis says that is a significant condition, correct? Zuccaro says that is correct. Closing Statement by Applicant. - Geoff Baukol: President of Brue Baukol Capital Partners Baukol says that he wants to cover any questions or concerns mentioned from the last meeting. He asks Jordan Swisher to go more in depth for their presentation. Jordan Swisher: Vice President of Brue Baukol Capital Partners Swisher discusses the project's density and how the development's goal is not to over develop this space. The downtown space will not be changed or affected by this proposal. This development's proposal is at the lowest possible density for infrastructure and public benefit. She reiterates other benefits that were discussed from the last meeting and mentions that this development would take 10-20 years to be fully developed. She then discusses their desire to protect the natural wildlife and the steps put into place to do so. She also addresses their sustainability efforts and the sustainability behind redeveloping on an existing site rather than developing on new undeveloped land. They also plan on re -using material. They will use the old StorageTek asphalt for roadway use and reutilize the trees and existing ponds.
