OH, THERE WE GO. THERE'S ONE. OKAY THERE WE GO. THERE WE GO. SO THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OVER, IT WOULD BE 0.4243 ACRES. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OVER 10,000FTâ– !S OF ACCESS. ON THE LEFT IS THE AERIAL MAP OF THE AREA. AGAIN, IT'S NORTH OF EASTLAKE BOULEVARD AND EAST OF DESERT SPRING DRIVE. AND ON THE RIGHT, THE ZONING MAP IS PRIMARILY R-3 RESIDENTIAL, AND THEN SOME COMMERCIAL TO THE SOUTH. SO YOU SEE ONE. I'M SORRY. ARE YOUR GUYS'S MONITORS ON? YES IS YOURS NOT ON? NO. IT'S NOT. SO. RIGHT BELOW THE MONITOR, THERE'S, A COUPLE OF BUTTONS WHERE THE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT UNDERNEATH. YEAH. I DON'T LET ME SEE. I DON'T THINK I HAVE POWER. OKAY OKAY. IS THERE A SONG?

HE CAN HE CAN SCOOT DOWN TO ANOTHER. ANOTHER COMPUTER IS THERE. YEAH. THAT'S OKAY. I CAN LOOK RIGHT HERE. WE'RE GOOD. OKAY THIS ONE WORKS. I'M GOOD. I'LL LOOK OFF THIS, THIS IS THE LOCATION MAP AGAIN. IT'S, NORTH OF EASTLAKE BOULEVARD AND EAST OF DESERT SPRING DRIVE, THIS IS THE NORTH PART OF THE SUBDIVISION, IT'S PRETTY LARGE. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT ALL IN. WE COULDN'T GET IT ON ONE SLIDE. SO AGAIN, IT'S 389 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS, ONE COMMERCIAL LOT, TWO PONDING AREAS, AND TWO PARK SITES. AND THEN AN AMENITY SITE FOR A TOTAL OF 309, 395 LOTS. THIS IS A SOUTHERN PART OF THE SUBDIVISION. IT'S GOT ONE OF THE PONDS AND THEN THE PARK TO THE SOUTH. AND THEN THIS HAS GOT THE COMMERCIAL AREA TO THE TO THE BOTTOM. ON THE BOTTOM. THIS IS THE COMMERCIAL LOT RIGHT HERE. THIS IS THE AMENITIES LOT. OPEN SPACE AMENITIES LOT. AND THEN THIS IS THE PARK ITSELF RIGHT HERE. THERE'S A POCKET THERE. AND THEN THE OTHER PARK IS RIGHT. RIGHT HERE. THESE ARE THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY. CROSS SECTIONS, YOU HAVE A 52 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY. CROSS SECTION, A 70 FOOT, 70 FOOT FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, 60 FOOT. AND THEN THE 120 FOOT, THE MAJOR ARTERIAL. THAT'S EASTLAKE BOULEVARD. AND THEN THESE ARE THE PROPOSED OR THE MODIFICATION REQUEST. SO THEY PROPOSED TO MODIFY 52 FOOT WIDE RESIDENTIAL SUB COLLECTOR STREET RIGHT OF WAY TO A 54, 54 FOOT WIDE, STREET RIGHT OF WAY. AND THE REASON THEY'RE DOING THAT IS BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING A LOT MORE ON THE, ON GREEN SPACE AND STUFF. SO THEY'RE EXPANDING SOME OF THE SIZE OF THE, OF THE PARKWAYS. AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE A MODIFICATION TO A 60 FOOT WIDE STREET RIGHT OF WAY COLLECTOR, WHICH CONSISTS OF TWO FIVE FOOT PARKWAYS, TWO FIVE FIVE FOOT WIDE CONCRETE SIDEWALKS, TWO 40 FOOT, PAVEMENT STRUCTURES WITH CURB AND GUTTER. AND IT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT DESERT SPRINGS HAS. OKAY. AND THEN THEY ALSO PROPOSED TO MODIFY THE 68 FOOT WIDE RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR, TO ENHANCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENTRANCES. OKAY. THOSE HAVE TO CONSIST OF TWO FIVE FOOT PARKWAYS, TWO FIVE FOOT CONCRETE SIDEWALKS, AND 2A2 FOOT WIDE [00:10:05] PAVEMENT. STRUCTURES AND A 12, AND A 12 FOOT RAISED LANDSCAPED MEDIAN WITH CURBS AND GUTTER, WHICH THEY WOULD PROPOSE TO MAINTAIN, NEXT THEY HAVE A MODIFICATION FROM EXISTING 74 FOOT, 74 FOOT WIDE COLLECTOR ARTERIAL STREET RIGHT OF WAY TO A 69 FOOT COLLECTOR ARTERIAL STREET RIGHT OF WAY ALONG PASEO DEL ESTE, THIS IS TO SO THAT THEY CAN ALIGN BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE COUNTY RIGHT OF WAYS. RIGHT. SO THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THEM TO ALIGN AND ALSO TO ADD ADDITIONAL PARKING, AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS A MODIFICATION FROM A 50 FOOT RADIUS CUL DE SAC STREET TO A 50 FOOT AND 50% FOOT RADIUS ON THE CUL DE SAC. LET ME SHOW YOU REAL QUICK. SO THIS THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE STANDARD FOR HORIZON CITY. AND THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. SO THEY'RE PROPOSING GREEN ON THE ON THE CENTER OF THE CUL DE SAC. AND ON THE OTHER ONE, THEY'RE TRYING TO SET THE PARKING, SPECIFICALLY WITH SOME LANDSCAPING AS OPPOSED TO THE TYPICAL, ALL CONCRETE ON, ON THE STANDARD. INTERESTING THIS IS A VACATION REQUEST. THEY'RE PROPOSING TO VACATE, TWO STUB OUTS. SO A STUB OUT WHAT? IT IS, IT'S LIKE PART OF A RIGHT OF WAY WHERE THERE MAY BE AN EXTENSION TO THAT STREET IN THIS CASE, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO THEY'RE PROPOSING TO VACATE THOSE TWO STUB OUTS SO THAT THEY COULD PUT SOME LOTS ON THERE. AND THOSE TWO STEEL BELTS ARE LOCATED, ON WHAT IS THAT STREET? DESERT ALLEY. DESERT ALLEY. YES. I'M SORRY. DESERT ALLEY IS RIGHT HERE. DESERT ALLEY. RIGHT. SO THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE PLAN FOR HORIZON CITY DOES NOT, HAVE THOSE STREETS EXTENDED INTO INTO THEIR SUBDIVISION AT ALL. SO THEY'VE BEEN MISTREATED. SO THIS AREA HERE WOULD BE THE SUBDIVISION OF THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION. AND THEN THE STUB BELTS ARE LIKE, RIGHT IN THIS AREA HERE. SO THERE WERE NO PLANS TO EXTEND THOSE TWO STREETS. SO THEY'RE NOT IN VIOLATION OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE IN THIS WAY. STAFF DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THIS. AS FAR AS AGENCY REVIEW. THERE WERE NO ADVERSE OR PENDING COMMENTS, AND STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL, BECAUSE THE SUBDIVISION DOES MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER FOUR, SUBDIVISION APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND THE APPROVAL PROCESS OF 4.2 0.95 REQUIREMENTS. SO FOR THAT, WE ARE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE SUBDIVISION AGAIN. AND THEN ALSO THE MODIFICATION REQUEST. AND THE VACATION OF TWO STARBUCKS, WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE. OKAY. I GUESS I, WANT TO START OFF WITH ONE QUESTION FOR MODIFICATION THAT YOU LISTED NUMBER ONE, THE 52 FOOT WIDE RESIDENTIAL SUB COLLECTOR STREET RIGHT OF WAY TO A 54 FOOT WIDE, STREET. AT THE END OF THE DOCUMENTATION THAT WE RECEIVED, IT WAS, LOOKS LIKE AN APPARENT, REQUEST BY ESD ONE, IT'S AN ALIGNMENT TO THERE. THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING. IT'S LIKE MORE OF A COUNTY TYPE ROAD. AND THEN EXTENDING IT INTO THIS SUBDIVISION SO IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS. BUT SPECIFICALLY ESD ONE DID NOT REQUEST IT. THE MODIFICATION OR WAS IT THEM THAT REQUESTED IT. THAT'S I'M NOT SURE MON IS THE UPDATE ON THAT ONE. THEY ASK FOR THAT. SURE, SURE. GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS AND CHAIR GEORGE GRAGEDA WITH KEY GROUP, TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. IT WAS NOT A REQUEST FROM ESD, THAT PAVEMENT CROSS SECTION IS TYPICALLY WHAT THE, THE THRESHOLD THAT THEY ALLOW FOR SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT HERE AT THE MISSION RIDGE AREA WITHIN THE COUNTY. OKAY. SO WE'RE KIND OF TRYING TO MIMIC THAT SAME, PAVEMENT WIDTH. OKAY. SO WE CAN DISREGARD THE WHOLE ESD. ONE THING ON THE PAPER, RIGHT. THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. NO. OKAY. THANK YOU SIR, THE NEXT QUESTION FOR ALIGNMENT. FOR ALIGNMENT. THANK YOU. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD IS ON THE STUB OUTS. WHO WILL PHYSICALLY REMOVE THOSE STUB? WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMOVAL, THE APPLICANT WILL REMOVE ALSO BOX. OKAY. IN OTHER WORDS, THE MAYOR THROUGH THIS PLAN WILL AUTHORIZE THE VACATION LEVELS. AND THEN THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THAT. AND ALSO COORDINATING WITH THE UTILITY COMPANIES AS FAR AS CAPPING THE UTILITIES AND EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO, TO, TO VACATE US. OKAY, SIR. AND THERE ARE NOTES ON THE PLAT THAT WE REQUIRED TO READ [00:15:01] COMMENTS, EXPLICITLY SAYING THAT, THAT WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL SUBJECT TO THOSE CONDITIONS. OKAY. AND THEN ON THE, AS FAR AS THE, THE MAIN MODIFICATION, WHICH IS TO ADD ADDITIONAL, PARKWAY, THEY ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THEY ALSO REQUESTED THAT THE, THE SIDEWALKS, NOT BE DEDICATED TO THE CITY. INSTEAD, THEY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ON THE MAINTENANCE OF IT AND THEN STAFF. STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THAT WITH CONDITIONS. AGAIN, THAT SHOULD THE HOA FAIL, THE DEVELOPER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE. OKAY. SO ALL THOSE CONDITIONS WOULD BE ON THE PLAT AS FAR AS NOTES ON IT, SPECIFYING THOSE REQUIREMENTS OR THOSE CONDITIONS. OKAY. VERY GOOD QUESTION. WHO'S GOING TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE MAINTENANCE IN THE MEDIANS? IS THAT HOA OR THE APPLICANT, IN THIS CASE THERE ALSO ARE WILLING TO TAKE ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE, THE LANDSCAPE ON THE MEDIANS AS WELL THROUGH THE HOA. SO AND WHO OVERSEES THAT AND HOW FREQUENTLY? JUST BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SOME ISSUES RECENTLY AND LIKE SOME OF THE MEDIANS, OVERGROWN TREES, PROTRUDING BRANCHES, LARGE STONES AND BOULDERS THAT ARE ALMOST YOU KNOW, STICKING OUT. SO TYPICALLY THE, THE RESIDENTS CAN CALL US AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL ADDRESS IT WITH THE, WITH THE, WITH THE HOA TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S BEING ADHERED TO. OKAY. SO BUT JUST TO REITERATE ALL THAT'S DEFINED. YES, SIR. THAT'S ALL DEFINED THROUGH NOTES ON THE ON THE PLAT. OKAY. SPECIFICALLY SAYING THAT IF THEY WERE EVER TO DEFAULT THE HOA, THEN THE DEVELOPER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTINUED MAINTENANCE ON THAT. IF THE HOA DEFAULTS, THE DEVELOPER HAS TO BACK IT UP. CORRECT OKAY. AND THEN, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO DO SOME AGREEMENTS WITH, WITH THE APPLICANT TO, TO MEMORIALIZE THAT AS WELL. FOR AN AGREEMENT. OKAY. EXCELLENT VERY GOOD. MORE QUESTIONS. I HAVE A QUESTION, MR. RUBIO. THE PRELIMINARY PLATS THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, DO THOSE ALREADY HAVE THE MODIFICATIONS FROM THE 52 TO 54 OR. THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT'S THEY DO ALREADY. OKAY.
