a neighborhood meeting last week on Monday night there were about five five folks from the neighborhood neighborhoods in the area that came to the meeting and they I believe they had four different

buildings that are proposed the applicant midweek last week contacted staff and asked for the item to be continued they are working on some final site plan changes for one of the potential tenants

and then your address please and then um I am Isaac Johnson I live in 1313 uh last 140th Street uh and I'd like to say this plan I feel is a massive improvement over was currently there and one of the biggest things I've seen looking at this plan is that feels they very much thought about the walkability of the area and I'm very happy about that feeling like I can go here and walk and not have to have a car and the one caveat to that that I worry about is yes this area is improving but the area around it especially where I live it's very hard to get over to their walking and I'd like to see improvements to that later down the line can you be more specific Mr Johnson you're talking about one of the roads in particular there uh yes uh Mick Andrews um near that area there is a very very large gap I've actually tracked it it's about a mile between where there are ways to cross it so I live like almost right in the middle of that Gap so if I want to get anywhere on the other side I make Andrews I have to make a very very large detour to walk safely and you're talking in the area behind Kohl's and for kind of a reference area yeah correct yeah roughly basically yeah old station one was fire station one and all that right in that area yes okay great well thank you Mr Johnson for bringing your letting us know how much you feel about this project and speaking on on the issue thank you yeah all right anyone else wishing to speak may come up to the lectern well I am seeing none um and the staff tells me there's nobody on Zoom so we're going to keep this motion or the public hearing open until our next meeting which is going to be June 12th uh two two weeks from now oh two meetings from now yes okay so that's going to be an open thing going all right well then I am going to leave that open and I'm going to go to updates any updates commissioners turn to staff update staff nothing no we really don't have much this time we have several applications that have come in um partially complete so there are things coming up uh and uh it's just been kind of an odd time did not anticipate that this would be continued so but we we do have applications that are coming in so you will be seeing things it's a matter of when they um everybody gets everything together and we're still planning to meet in two weeks yes correct yes can't do a math real quick but that's okay
