I am here tonight to present to you the 2019 scholarship winners. Each recipient will receive a $5,000 scholarship for the academic year 2019-2020. The scholarships are awarded to the recipients based on a high emphasis of community service and academics. This year's winners are Carly Dottry, Jacelle Lemus, Quarr, Corona, Amanda Ryeball, and Peyton Swartz. And if they would please come forward. Cheryl, can I ask you the amount of those scholarships again? They're $500. You said $500. You said $5,000. That's why I have $500. Oh, $500 500 you said $5,000. That's why oh 500 Sorry kids. I'm sorry I didn't want to diminish it anyway And I have a little bit of something to tell about each one of you. So they're all required to write what community service means to them. And so I'll start out telling you a little bit about each of them. Carly is a senior from Perriview High School and plans to attend Colorado State University beginning in the fall in the engineering program. Carly was an officer in the Technology Student Association at Per review high school in which she showed strong leadership abilities and personal interaction skills. Carly was a member of the Star's Mentoring Program helping other students. In her essay application, Dr. Eustated, not everyone has the same educational opportunities. Through the Community Service Mentoring Program, it helped me to build a lifetime bond with students. Positive community service taught me so much about myself and helped me grow as a person in areas of my life that I thought did not need any work. Jacelle is a senior from Brighton High School who will attend the University of Northern Colorado beginning in the fall of 2019. She was inducted into the National Honor Society and was part of the National Honor Society Parliamentary Board, establishing herself as a leader. Jacelle worked hard to create an inclusive National Honor Society that allowed for equality in ethnic representation. Jacelle has helped contribute donations for different charities. In her essay application, she wrote, positive community service is done freely and with passion. The rewarding feeling I received when I made a difference was more than enough. It allows an individual to grow and you get to see the difference that you make. Amanda is also a senior at Brighton High School, and will attend the University of Colorado Boulder in the College of Arts and Science, Political Science Program beginning in the fall of 2019. Amanda volunteered in different programs, including Speak Week, Inspirus Colorado, Richard Lambert Foundation, World Denver, Calwood Education Center, and as an IM27J student leader and in several of the city of Brighton events. Amanda shows a sense of civic responsibility and pride in her community. In her essay, she wrote, positive community service can be as simple as helping with local culture, art, and educational events. I genuinely believe that events such as these establish strong local business, active youth programs, and an educated community. All these types of community service opportunities help to create the tight-knit, healthy, and safe community that everyone wants. Peyton wrote, Peyton is also a senior at Brighton High School and will attend the University of Colorado in Boulder in the College of Arts and Science in the fall of 2019. Peyton is a member of the National Honor Society and was selected to the Principles Honor Roll. It was honored with the East Metro Athletic Conference, all academic selection, as well as the Colorado High School Athletic Association's designation as academic all-star first team, all four years of high school. Peyton participated in the swim team all four years of high school. Peyton has in the swim team all four years of high school. Peyton has participated in Help for Homes program and worked with almost home as part of her community service. In her essay she wrote, Positive Community Service and Evolvement means everything. In order to have thriving and forward thinking community, it is vital to provide voluntary service back to the community, making it a better place for all its inhabitants. Community service can change every aspect of a single community and is of the utmost importance. As you can see, community service means a lot to these young ladies. With that, we congratulate Carly, Giselle, Amanda, and Peyton and wish them the best. Don't go to your seats. If you get your certificates they're going to want a photo and then I'm going to ask you all to come to the dice and you can all shake your hands. They're gonna want a photo, and then I'm gonna ask y'all to come through the dice, and we can all shake your hands. All right. One of them did. One of them did. Okay, now they're gonna take a photo, turn around face that way for the photo. Cheryl and Chief get in there. Yeah. Now, if you come on up by the desk, we'd like to all our scholarship winners. Good luck to you as you pursue your college degree. We expect to hear some good reports back from you. And then a big thank you to all our employees and the employees' charities for their donations to make these scholarships like that happen. A great thing we have going. Next item is a proclamation.

Whereas historic preservation is an effective tool for managing growth, sustaining development, revitalizing neighborhoods, posturing local pride, providing community character and enhancing livability. And whereas historic preservation is inherently economically, environmentally and socially sustainable, fostering a culture of reuse and maximizing the life cycle of all resources through conservation. And whereas the city of Brighton has a wealth of historic places related to all ages, walks of life, and ethnic backgrounds that inform the community as it is today. And whereas it is important to celebrate the role of history in our lives and the contributions made by dedicated individuals in helping to preserve the tangible aspects of the heritage that has shaped the City of Brighton.

Preservation month began as National Preservation Week in 1973, but in 2005 the National Trust for Stork Preservation extended the celebration to the entire month of May and declared a preservation month. Communities across Colorado and the United States celebrate this month as a time to remember our past as told through our built environment and archaeological discoveries. From our storied buildings in our downtown and beyond, to archaeological findings unearthed in and around the Brownley-Hishanuma Farm. Preservation work is an ongoing pursuit here in Brighton. The stories we tell about our cities past are filled with the efforts and triumphs of many Britonians. These efforts and triumphs continue today with the work of our bright and historic preservation commission to preserve the heritage of Brighton for future generations. I also would like to take a moment to thank the Mayor and council members for your continued support of historic preservation efforts and thank you Thank you so much Our final proclamation tonight is building safety month May of 2019 Whereas the city of Brighton is committed to recognize that our growth and strength depends upon the safety and economic value of homes, buildings and infrastructure that serve our citizens both in everyday life and in the times of natural disaster. And whereas our confidence in the structural integrity of these buildings that make up our community is achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians. Building safety and fire prevention officials, architects, engineers, builders, tradespeople, design professionals, laborers, plumbers, and others in the construction industry, who work year round to ensure the safe construction of buildings. And whereas these guardians are dedicated members of the International Code Council, a US-based organization that brings together local, state, and federal officials that are experts in built environment to create and implement the highest quality of codes to protect us in the buildings where we live, learn, work, play. And whereas our nation benefits economically and technologically from using the international codes that are developed by national, voluntary, consensus codes and standards developing organizations, our government is able to avoid the high cost and complexity of developing and maintaining these codes, which are the most widely adopted building safety and fire prevention codes in the world. And whereas these modern building codes include safeguards to protect the public from natural disasters such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wild land fires, floods, and earthquakes. Which according to FEMA, a commission study by the National Institute of Building Sciences provide $11 in future medication benefits for every dollar invested. And whereas building safety month is sponsored by the International Code of Council to remind the public about the critical role of our communities, largely unknown protectors of public safety and local code officials who assure us of safe, efficient, and livable buildings that are essential to Americans prosperity. And whereas no code, no confidence, the theme for building safety month in 2019 encourages all Americans to rise awareness of the importance of safe and resilient construction, fire prevention, disaster mitigation, and new technologies in the construction industries. Build safety month 2019 encourages appropriate steps everyone can take to assure the safety of our built environment and recognizes that the implementation of safety codes by local state agencies has saved lives and protected homes and businesses. And whereas each year, an observance of building safety month Americans are asked to consider the commitment to improve building safety and economic investment at home and in the community to acknowledge the essential service provided to all of us by local estate building departments, fire prevention bureaus and federal agencies and protecting lives and properties. Now therefore I can't let you cry to your mayor of the City of Brighton on behalf of the City Council do hereby proclaim the month of May 2019 as building safety month accordingly. I encourage our citizens to join with their communities and participation in building safety month activities. Dated this seventh day of May. What is the pleasure of Council? Mayor Pro Tem. I make a motion that we approve the proclamation for building safety month May 2019. I have a motion to have a second. Councilman Humbert. Mr. Mayor, I will second that motion. I have a that motion. I have a proper motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none, roll call vote. All votes cast. Motion passes by a vote of eight to nothing with one absent. Mr. Rodriguez, who's here to accept this? Thank you, Your Honor. Mayor Counsel, I'd like to ask our community development director, Holly Pray, there to come forward and receive this on behalf of some very qualified important staff that we have. Holly. Thank you, City Manager. Good evening, your Honourable Mayor, City Council. Thank you for proclaiming the month. Oh, I'm sorry. I stole your thunder. Sorry. I'm just used to being a bit stupid. Picture picture. Now you make a picture. No. My apologies. Just so excited about it. I get right into it. All right, so thank you for proclaiming the month of May as Building Safety Month. This is the 39th year that the International Code Council, the ICC, has designated the month of May as Building Safety Month. Building Safety Month is an international campaign that raises awareness about building safety by reinforcing the need for the adoption of modern updated building codes, and helps individuals, families, and businesses understand what it takes to create safe and sustainable structures. During the month, ICC and its 64,000 members and a diverse partnership of professionals from the building construction, design and safety community come together with corporations, government agencies, professional associations, and nonprofits to promote building safety through proclamations, informational events, legislative briefings and more. As noted in the proclamation that was just read, this year's theme is no code, no confidence, which encourages all Americans to raise awareness of the importance of safe and resilient construction, fire prevention, disaster mitigation, and new technologies in the construction industry. By proclaiming the month as building safety month, the city is recognizing the dedication of our code officials, and the fact that modern codes and standards incorporate the latest technology and provide the safest most resilient structures for our families and communities to protect against building failures, tornadoes, floods, fires, and other modern day disasters. Weekly themes throughout the month will spotlight specific areas of building safety. Week one, which was last week, was themed as preparing for disasters, build strong, build smart. This week is ensuring a safer future through training and education. Next week we'll be securing clean, abundant water for all communities. The fourth week may 20th through the 26th, is construction professionals and homeowners, partners in safety, and the final week, May 27th through the 31st, is innovations in building safety. Again, on behalf of the city's code officials, which includes our permit technicians, our plan reviewer, our building inspectors, and our chief building official, we thank you for proclaiming the month of May as building safety month. Thank you, all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next item in the agenda is item five, public invited to be heard. It matters not on the agenda. And I do have a signing sheet. Tim McCormick. Mr. McCormick, you come forward. If you would please state your name and address for the City of Brighton. Before I begin, I would too would like to extend my thoughts. Prayers and sympathies for our neighbors to the south after the horrific events of today. I also want to acknowledge the initial responders who were swift and decisive in their efforts and actions and likely ended the threat and saved lives. Council members, my name is Tim McCormick, that is spelled MCCORMACK. My address is 1398, Cherrywood Drive here in Brighton. I'm a candidate to be your district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, serving Adams and Brunefield Counties and the many communities served by the District Attorney's Office, including the citizens of the wonderful city of Brighton. I have dedicated my 27 year career and district attorney's office to public safety and serving the communities in which I am a part of. I'm invested in my communities. I'm proud to stand before you and tell you that Brighton has been my home for the past 20 years. Two of my three children were born here, the Old Platt Valley Medical Center, by the way. All three have attended schools locally here. My wife and I are involved in our communities and promoting our communities as well as including in their schools, community events and functions as well as our church. I am committed to public safety and over the past 27 years I am a strong proponent of public safety. I distinguish between good citizens who have made mistakes and criminals who pray upon our communities. I have cultivated a strong, collaborative and productive working relationship with all criminal justice providers that have come in contact with the criminal justice system. That includes judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, support staff, law enforcement, and victims of crime. All the time, I pursue and seek justice for victims and ensure fairness to the accused. Everyone regardless of politics and political affiliation deserves to be safe, including you, your family, your neighbors and your communities. As your district attorney, every decision I make will not be dictated by politics or how it will affect political careers. Rather, every decision I make will be dictated by my desire to keep you and your family safe from those who will do you harm. I have the experience, I have the leadership, I have the knowledge, I have the desire and above all, I have the competence to bring new and strong leadership to the District Attorney's Office and to be a District Attorney that works with communities it serves. And we've all heard the saying that elections have consequences. Compromising your public safety should not be one of them. Your safety, your family safety and the safety of the communities in which reside should be the top priority of the District Attorney's Office. If you'd like to learn more about our campaign please visit our website at www.McCormickforDA.com. That's www.mccornackforgdau.com. Please join us in that effort. Thank you for the opportunity to address this honorable council. Thank you so much. Good luck on your endeavors. We do have another one that's not getting under the deadline. Amanda Roybel. Amanda? Amanda, you're up. Thank you. Amanda, you're up. Please come forward. State your name and address for the record. And you have five minutes. Thank you, Councilman. Hi, my name is Amanda Ryball. I was originally planning to speak, oh, I live on three, four, up to you, straight. So sorry. I was originally planning to speak, and then I scrapped it, and then I plan to speak again because of events that happen today. I'm here to be speak on behalf of Brian High School, and the students who experienced the lockdown recently, and the students who also experienced the lockdown my freshman year like I did. I will give a brief summary of what happened that day. Those days my freshman year I was just done with my show for Tarzan when we were told we were on a lockdown. We were actually with the whole family. There was a crying baby and it sounded like someone was trying to get into our building. And I thought for sure that was it for me. Like a man came in with a rifle and it turned out to be the SWAT team. But it's really scary when that's the first thing you see entering the doorway. The second time on the lockdown, I was in a room with five other kids on my off-hour. And I was really lucky to be on end of the building where the teachers had formed a plan to escape to City Hall. And we ran all the way here from my class to evacuate to the basement, where they reunited us with all our families. Sitting in the classroom and the auditorium for that hour, hour and a half, that 20 minute, the second day was the most horrifying moments of my life. And I know that other moments for those students have been really hard to date too. And today in Highlands Ranch unfortunately, there were seven to eight students injured, one dead. My friend, Vershong, last time I heard he has not been able to find his brother. He goes to Highlands Ranch STEM High School and I really wish him the best. And I just want to know, as a council, what can you guys do to make us high school students feel safer? How can you guys help in this day, in this situation, where it doesn't feel like going to school is safe, where I've talked to my peers, and they also confide in me and how unsafe they feel, where they talk about the nightmares they have of being shot, of their siblings being shot. My friend for Shonk, where I don't even know if his brother is still here. I just want to know where do we go from here? And I really love to know, and if you guys could contact me, what you guys think as our representatives in Brighton, and in Colorado, and if we could go from here, I'd like to be a part of that. Thank you, Amanda. I, uh, And if we could go from here, I'd like to be a part of that. Thank you, Amanda. Usually at this time, council just listens and we don't respond and I feel we owe you a response and I wish I had a good response for you. It's an issue that this is society. We need to definitely address. I share the same fears that you do and I can tell you that as a councilor we're committed to doing everything we can. I know that you can talk with Chief Southered, the police department as well as school officials are working diligently on making you feel safe in school. And I wish I had a better answer for you now, but I do think it's something that we need to address as a community, as a council, and as a society. We have to make not only schools, but public gatherings, churches, wherever we go. We have to make not only schools, public gatherings, churches, wherever we go. We have to be able to feel safe. I commend your bravery for coming before tonight and I sure hope that your friend's brother is found alive. I really hope so too. Thank you so much Mayor. Thank you and I appreciate your leadership in our community as a member of our youth commission. Thank you. I wish I wasn't so fashionably late all the time. Yeah. Thank you, Amanda. Thank you. Wow. Now onto the fun stuff. Next item in the agenda. Next item in the agenda. It's public hearings item seven consolidated items for sequential review. Seven A is a resolution of the City Council of the City of Brighton, Colorado, making certain findings of fact regarding the proposed annexation of an approximately 34.97 acres of contiguous land in the northwest, one-fourth of the northwest, one-fourth section 20, Township 1 South, range 66 of the six principal meridian, County of Adams, State of Colorado, to be known as the Brighton Lakes, Bar C. Derry and Starbucks annexation. And this is a public hearing. I will open the public hearing. Madam City Clerk, would you please verify that all necessary postings and publications were done? Yes, your honor, the notice of public hearing was published in the Brighton Standard Blade on April 10th, 17th, 24th, and May 1st. Mr. Rodriguez, who will be presenting for staff of the item? Mayor Council, I'm going to ask Lauren Simmons, one of our senior planners out of community development to guide us through this item and the next several. There's quite a bit here and so hopefully we can make this make sense but you know the first couple items here really are dealing with the annexation and then the following items are dealing with the zoning so let's turn it over to Lauren and thank you so much. The first item on the agenda well I, I'm presenting for two items. The first is the resolution for eligibility for the annexation for the Brighton Lakes to Bar C. Dairy and Starbucks annexation. And the second item is an ordinance for the first reading for this annexation. This annexation addresses two strategic focus areas, the first is recognisable in well-planned community, and the second is a port of and sustainable infrastructure. So just to orient you to the site, this is approximately 35 acres located at the southeast corner or a whiamen of chambers, road, and and 144th Avenue just south of the existing Indigo Trail subdivision. So you can see right there on the pink. As we zoom in, you can see here it's where it's located in with the existing development around it. Again, the Indigo Trail subdivision to the north, to the east, is the existing Brighton Lakes PUD, which we will get to shortly. And then to the south is also Brighton Lakes, but also to the west is existing farmland and the Country Hill subdivision from Adams County. This here just shows you kind of a close up of these properties. Again, the dairies to the west and the Starbucks properties to the east. So when we annex a property, the city goes through a four-step process. The first is substantial compliance, which has been completed. The second is the finding of fact or eligibility resolution, which is before you this evening. The third is the first reading of the annexation before you, which is before you this evening. And the second reading of the annexation ordinance with the annexation agreement would come before you after the approval, potential approval of the first reading of the annexation agreements. Anxation ordinance. According to City Code, there are five criteria for annexation. This annexation does meet those criteria. First, it's in compliance with the Municipal Anxation Act. Second, it's in accordance with the comprehensive plan and other master plans in the city. Third, the land is capable of being integrated in the city as shown on the side of the surrounding development. Fourth, that services and facilities can be extended to this property, which is also shown by that slide. And finally, there's the capacity to serve as residents and will encourage a well-ordered development with the adjacent development. In accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes, this annexation is at least one sixth contiguous to existing city, Brighton property. It is a presumed community of interest because it meets a contiguous continuity requirement. It also is an area that can be urbanized. It is capable of being integrated within the municipality. And so with that said, the option before you this evening are to find the Brighton Lakes to Bar Cederi in Starbucks annexation to meet the criteria of the Colorado Review at Vise Statutes, approving the resolution of eligibility, and then also the second item would be approving the annexation ordinance on first reading or not approve the annexation ordinance on first reading, the specific findings to justify the denial. With that, I believe the public hearing is open. So if there's any questions, I'm here if you have any. Thank you. Is the applicant here and was the applicant? Yes, the applicant is here, Mr. McRitcherson. Mr. Richardson, would would like to add anything. Make state your name and address for the record please. Good evening mayor and council members. My name is Mick Richardson. Address is 201 Hampton Avenue or 200 Hampton Avenue, Suite 2-0-1, Inglewood, Colorado, 801-1-0. The only thing I would like to add is that this is an integral part of the Brighton Lakes PUD, and the fact that with this development, it will allow us to extend services, extend 144th and complete chambers all the way down to 136. So this is something we wanted to do for a long time and I'm happy to be able to be here to bring this forward to you tonight. So if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. Thank you. Thank you, sir. We do have a protocol for public hearings. At this time, is there anybody in the audience that would have a question of the applicant? Questions only at this time. Is there anybody in the audience that would like to speak against the request? That being said, there's no reason to clarify or rebut anything. Madam City Clerk, has there been any correspondence in favour of against the request? No, Your Honor. Questions and comments from Council? Anybody? There are no questions or Council from Council. I will officially close the public hearing and the issue is now before Council. What is your pleasure. Councilman Johnston. I'd like to make a motion to approve item 7a. I have a motion to have a second. Councilman Mills. Thank you. I'd be happy to second the motion to approve 7a. I have a proper motion and a second to approve this. Item is there any further discussion? Here in Noun, roll call vote. All votes cast. Motion passes by a vote of eight to nothing with one absent. Thank you. Then the next item on the agenda is the ordinance. Item 7B is an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Brighton, Colorado, annexing to the City of Brighton approximately 34.97 acres of contiguous land in the northwest, one-fourth of the northwest, one-fourth section 20, Township 1, South, Range 66 west of the Sixth Principal Meridian, County of Adams, State of Colorado, to be known as the Brighton Lakes, Tubercy, Dairy, and Starbucks annexation. This is a first reading, Mr. Rodriguez. Thank you, Mayor Councilor, I'll ask Elorne to present on this as well, Lauren. Yes, so this is the first reading of the annexation. I did just present as a procedural matter This first reading would be the ordinance to actually annex the property once you have found the the property is Ables be annexed through the resolution of eligibility Any questions or comments from council concerning this Councilman Blackhurst. I guess my question I could have brought up the annexation motion but do we have any idea at all the time frame on the expansion of the roadway. South of what is south of 136? Chambers. Chambers, exactly. South of 144th. Four. Yeah, correct. So the expansions of any roadways or of any improvements would come with the development of the eventual project. The annexation would really just address the fact that we would be annexing the property, the property would be able to be zoned in the city of Brighton. And in that order, we would then once platted, we'd be able to look at roadway expansions and improvements for the property. I guess then my question would be to develop for Mr. Richardson has a general time frame of 40 things. Have my develop is it a year away, two years away? This is in the first phase of development, but not in the first filing. So I would assume it's logically two to five years off. Thank you to you, the sequencing. Thank you. Any other questions or comments? The matters before council, which pleasure? Councilman Mills. Thank you. I'd like to make a motion to approve item 7B on the agenda. Repro-tome. I would be happy to second that motion. I have a proper motion and a second on this item. Any further discussion? Hearing none, roll call vote. All votes are cast. Motion passes by a vote of 8 to nothing with one absent. Next item on the agenda is item 7c. 7c is a resolution of the City Council of City Brighton, Colorado, favorably recommending further development of the Brighton Lakes overall development plan, ODP, First Amendment. And I'm going to go ahead and read into the record, seven CD and E because Lauren, I believe, is going to present it into one. We will then vote on it all separately. Item seven D is an ordinance of the City Council, the City of Brighton, Colorado, approving their crest to rezone the Brighton Lakes Plan unit development and adjacent parcel zone, Adams County, and A3 in accordance with the Brighton Lakes Plan Unit Development and adjacent parcel zone Adams County, A3 in accordance with the Brighton Lakes PUD First Amendment for the approximately 476.067 acre property generally located south of 144th Avenue, north of 136th Avenue, east of Sable Boulevard and west of 19th Avenue, alignment. In Brighton, Colorado, the Brighton Lakes PUD, First Amendment is generally located in a portion of the Southwest quarter of section 19 and the West have section 20, Township 1 South, Rain 66 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, all in the city of Brighton, County of Adams, State of Colorado, and that's a first reading. I'll also read into the record item 7E. A resolution of the city council of the city of Brighton Colorado, approving an application for a vested property rights for three years for the Brighton Lakes PUD First Amendment, which is an approximate 476.067 Acre property, generally located south of 144th Avenue, north of 136th Avenue, east of Sable Boulevard, and west of 19th Avenue alignment in Brighton, Colorado. Further, the Brighton Lakes PUD First Amendment is generally located in a portion of the Southeast quarter of Section 19, and the half of section 20, township one south, rain 66 west of the six principal meridian, all in the city of Brighton, county of Adams state of Colorado. Mr. Rodriguez. Thank you, Mayor Counsel. Well, Lauren Simmons is doing such a great job. I ask her to continue the rest of these items. Why thank you. All right, so we have three items before you this evening. I'll be presenting in one presentation just because they all sort of weave together and you'll see why as I get through the presentation. So the applicant is Mr. McRitchor, so with Brighton Lakes LLC, vintage homes LLC and for terror investments limited. He also has a number of, go ahead. Let me interrupt you just a second. This is a public hearing. I'm gonna open a public hearing. I'm going to open the public hearing. I'm sorry. Okay. And now you may go. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Madam City clerk, would you please verify necessary posting and publications were done? Yes, you're under the notice of public hearing was published in the Brighton Standard Blade on April 17th, 2019. Thank you. The dress rehearsal didn't go near this good. All right. Well, now you may continue. I won't go back through those items. So hopefully you heard them through the public hearing. So Mr. Richardson does have a number of his consultants here, including Redland Engineering, Miss Susan Wade, Ms. Paulin Mood, Fred JFoya and sorry I forget names when I'm a little nervous. Okay, sorry. Rip. All right. So the first is this is adjusting to strategic focus areas. The first is recognizable well planned community and the second is strategic focus areas. The first is recognizable well planned community, and the second is strategic focus area is supportive and sustainable infrastructure. In the review process, we're at the zoning part. Annexation, obviously, a portion of this property, you guys have agreed to Annex for the first reading, and the majority of the property has been Annex and prior Anne annexations. The next steps after that will be plotting and then site planning and eventually permitting. As you can see here the property, it's approximately 476 acres that's located in between Stable Boulevard 27th to the east to the north is 144th and to the south is 136. As you can see there in the pink it takes up almost a whole quarter section. So speaking of annexations this property, this property in its entirety, the majority of it was annexed in 1987 and 1986. There have been two additional annexations since that time, 40 acres in 2004 and the pending 35 acres today. So as you can see here, kind of the difference, you have the existing Brighton Lakes PUD has 441.48 acres and was zoned in 2004 as but the Brighton Lakes PUD has 441.48 acres and was zoned in 2004 as but the Brighton Lakes PUD. The applicant has requested a PUD amendment to add 36, 35 acres and amend the whole PUD. So you can see here on the map how it sort of breaks out the 35 acres versus the existing 441 acres. Again, this map kind of shows you a little bit of the existing neighborhood. You've got the country hills to the north and east west, indigo trails to the north. You have the existing county development to the east and per future Parallel East open space park to the east as well and to the south you have existing farmland and additional Adams County subdivisions The comprehensive plan for this area shows the properties that they would encourage a mixture of residential uses and densities are compatible with the adjacent local district mixed use and open space designations. Additionally, the future land use shows a low density, which would be 4.5 to 5 dwellings per acre, medium density in the corner, which would be 5 to 12 dwellings per acre and mixed use commercial. The Brighton Lakes PUD is proposing, a amendment, first amendment is proposing a mixture of densities up to 2000 units, averaging up to 4.2 averaging over the whole thing, 4.2 dwelling units per acre. In addition, they are, there is off-site open space dedication to the ESA is not counted within that calculation. So the local district plan, which was adopted recently, part of the vision for the district plan says that urban uses such as multi-family, mixed use, and neighborhood commercial developments will be encouraged in the city. And that graphic on the slide is from the local district plan, which shows how that might be integrated within the existing farmland. Also within the local district plan is an annexation policy. And that policy says that that projects that will develop in the district. Now this is located just outside of the district, but surrounded by the district plan. That street and pedestrian connectivity will ensure maximum connectivity. There'll be a mixture of housing types. There'll be proximity to existing infrastructure. And we'll include agricultural place making via architectural design, historic resource preservation, community gardens, edible resource, preservation, community gardens, edible landscape, public art, and signage. The reason why I present to you the district plan in this context is that since this is surrounded by the district plan, I want to let you know that the district plan was considered in the amendment for this PUD. We looked at the district plan, the applicant looked at the district plan, and a lot of the things you will see presented moving forward will talk about the farm, the agricultural place making and some of these other things that have been included by the applicant to be consistent with the adjacent district plan. So in addition to the district plan, there is the comprehensive plan. The city's comprehensive plan and this project are very compatible. The first goal, the principle is managing growth. And this PUD amendment says that existing areas of infrastructure will be where growth will occur. And since infrastructure is directly adjacent to this project, this is compatible with principal one mangan growth. The second principle is distinctive neighborhoods. And as you will see in a later presentation, in some parts of my presentation, also within the applicant's presentation regarding this, this project is that there are several policies within distinctive neighborhoods that this beauty amendment is directly addressing the first is Create and maintain inviting safe walkable and bikeable streets The second is ensuring residential lots and architecture enhances the street the third is creating usable enhance the street, the third is creating usable, accessible, and inviting green spaces in neighborhoods, and they'll finally encourage projects that enhance diversity of housing and cost. So this project is addressing all of those principles within the Comprehensive Plan. Finally, Principle 7 plays a high priority on sustainable and high quality design that is compatible with the city's unique character of managing growth. And also preserving historic resources that to enhance the community's quality of life and heritage. So all these principles of the comprehensive plan were considered during the review of this project and within the what is within the PUD amendment that you will see. So to go through the first thing I want to go through is the overall development plan. The overall development plan is sort of a general land use plan that has been looked at in addition to the PUD. And so as you can see here on the map, the pink areas are mixed use. The orange areas indicated are residential uses. The green areas are parks and open space and the yellow areas in addition to that. And the darker blue is a school site, the lighter blue is a drainage natural drainage area. As you can see here the project is addressing the adjacent corridors of roadways and also creates does a place-making effort within the project to incorporate open space corridors throughout the residential areas in addition to parks. The Brighton Lakes PUD amendment also follows the same land use pattern showing the mixed use areas on the perimeter of the site, residential areas within the bounds of the site and parks and opens face designated throughout the project. So with housing being a major component of this PUD, staff work with the applicant to address this in particular. The first thing to note is that there are multiple housing types allowed for and planned for in this PUD amendment. The first is single-family detach with rear loaded and front loaded options with setbacks and architecture. The second is single-family attach with rear loaded which would be paired homes or autocorred or green court, or town homes front or rear loaded. Finally, we would have multi-family with apartments or condominiums allowed within this PUD. The densities would range anywhere from three to 20 dwellings per acre. Three to 12 would be your single-family detached. Six to 12 would be the mixed use areas and the single family, um, in the up to 12 units breaker and the, um, in some of the attached product and then, um, the multifamily would range anywhere from six to 20 dwelling units per acre. As you can see here on this side, the total allowed dwelling units would, if you added all those up would be 3000, however, the applicant has limited the maximum number of units to 2000 units in this project. The architectural nature of the project is a style such as farmhouse, craftsman, prairie, and forest grit, and modern interpretations of those architectural styles, which is consistent with much of the architecture within the city of Brighton. The other component of this project that staff worked on with the applicant was to talk about landscape fencing and buffering, knowing that there are neighbors and adjacent to this project in addition to the undeveloped nature of the area currently staff looked at these buffers. Alongsable 144th and 136th indicated by pink or pink there too. On the slide, it's a 30-foot buffer adjacent to the roadway. Along Chambers Road 140th and the internal collector which is kind of the horseshoe shape, there'll be a 20 foot buffer and a 10 foot buffer is proposed along the alignment of 19th avenue. 19th avenue is indicated in yellow on this slide. 19th avenue was specially designed to be adjacent to the city's open space to the east and And also features a swoop, as I will call it, that not only gives open space views from the subdivision to the east, but also provides traffic calming in accordance with the city's business plan and also provides for some additional open space to be dedicated to the east of this area. There are several fencing types proposed within this project. A 42 inch three rail fence will be the majority of the fencing in the project that will back all parks, landscape tracks, open space, and double furnished lots. There will be six foot privacy fences allowed on areas where they're shared lot lines between single family attach and single family detached lots. And the project perimeter fences that are over 300 feet in length will have breaks every 30 feet and be set back at least five feet from the back of sidewalks on the right away. The third application before you this evening is the vested property rights application. The investing for this, the applicant has requested a 10 year vesting period for the PUD amendment as a site specific development plan. Staff is recommending a three year vesting period for the PUD amendment as a site specific development plan. Staff is recommending a three year investing period for the PUD for the following reasons. The first is that the standard period for investing of a PUD for the city is three years. And that the standard three years is not even reasonable and not and is typical for this type of investing that continued and as the applicant develops the property, the continued and consistent development and plating of the project will ensure that the applied for entitlements will stay in place as the project moves forward. So public notices since this property was so large, we posted six signs. Public notices were sent to all neighbors within 300 feet of this project. Notice was published in the Brighton Standard Blade on April 17, 2019 for the PUD. And as you can see here, those were the locations of the signs that indicated the meeting this evening. So with that, staff did review the plan unit development and overall development plan and does recommend approval of the plan unit development and overall development plan as it is in conformance with the tenants of the Lennonies and Development Code. And is also in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan and Commission reviewed the PUD amendment, Brighton Lakes PUD amendment first at the and overall development plan, and vested property rights on April 11, 2019, and recommend approval of those applications as well as the vested property right for three years. So I will present each of the options for this and then obviously the applicant will have a presentation with some more details of the PUD that may answer some of your questions. So the option before you this evening for the plan you a development amendment and the overall development plan are to approve the Brighton Lakes PD first amendment overall development plan. The second is to approve the Brighton Lakes PD amendment and overall development plan with the additional considerations. And the third is to not recommend approval the Brighton LakesED First Amendment and overall development plan. The options before you for vested property rights are to approve the vesting for three years as recommended by city staff, approve the vested property rights for three years as requested by the applicant, approve the vested property rights for an alternate period of time, or not approve the vested property rights for the Brighten Lakes PED First Amendment. or not approve the vested property rights for the Brighton Lights PD for amendment. So with that, I know the applicant does have a brief presentation with some of the details and then happy to answer any questions you may have with regards to these applications. Thank you. Thank you. The applicant liked to add anything. That's me. Good evening. My name is Susan Wade. I can't like to add anything. That's me. Good evening. My name is Susan Wade. I'm with Redland. The address is 1500 West Canal Court in Littleton, 80120. So first I'd like to give just a little history on the process. Back in late 2017, Mick and the city were working on a plat of the original 2004 PUD. In that process, I think, Mic Richardson and the city both realized that the vision that Mick wanted to build and really the comprehensive plan from 2016 was not going to be able to be met by the existing 2004 PUD. So together, they decided to amend the PUD process. was not going to be able to be met by the existing 2004 Pewdie. So together they decided to amend the Pewdie process. We started that process in 2008. It's been a great collaborative process with our team and staff. And I think that tonight is really the culmination of the benefit for that process. So. Yeah, I believe there's a jump right through the PowerPoint. While they're uploading that, I apologize, we had it uploaded originally. I was going to go through some of the site locations, which is very similar to Lauren's presentation. So I think I'm gonna just jump into really what the purposes are of the PUD. So number one, we want to annex in the additional properties. That was discussed in the early ordinances. Two, we want a better align with the city's 2016 comprehensive plan, the district plan, the current code as well as the upcoming code to ensure that we create the variety of housing that Brighton's really looking for. And then thirdly, we want to embrace and promote the agricultural heritage, really invested in the district plan by celebrating the farm lore, which is going to be the new name for Brighton Lakes character as well as some of the community amenities. Okay. There we go. I do control here, right? There we go. Okay, so this likes you and not me. There we go. When we first started in 2018, we also, as Lauren had commented on, really reviewed the re-bright and comprehensive plan. It really led the way to our big ideas and our design drivers. We focused our design drivers on one building on the agricultural heritage, the existing barn on 144th is really our icon element in creating that agricultural character. We wanted to continue to collaborate with create attractive and distinctive architecture for the existing residents as well as the future. And we want to prioritize architectural and planning character. Distinctiveness was used in the comp plan over and over. And I really like that word in terms of applying distinctiveness through every step of the process. We're going to incorporate smart growth opportunities wherever possible and prioritize safe transportation for pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobile. So the 476 acre master plan really engages the city's master transportation plan in their grid. This is very similar to Lauren's comment where we have a major arterial to the south, minor arterials, collectors, and even neighborhood connectors within the community. We're creating three sub districts. The northern Quad, the South East and West Quad will be three sub districts. Each sub district will create a unique neighborhood park central to that sub district, and then surround the community park that's in the center. So here's the community park here is in the center, strong connection to the future prairie lakes towards the east. to the future prairie lakes towards the east. The circulation within, with central to the community, I'm calling it kind of this horseshoe loop street, as our neighborhood connector street, provides an opportunity for residents driving, bicyclists and pedestrians, all to connect out to that. Prairie lakes open space community. We're also celebrating the barn as I had mentioned and preserving it. Barns located up here on 144th. We're enhancing and improving the barn as a community amenity and focal point. This illustrates the hierarchy of the street network. The major arterial on the bottom. We have minor arterial on stable and 144th, collectors in red on 140th, chambers in 19th, and the neighborhood connector as the horseshoe road. We also looked at open space networks, really encouraging the landscape architecture to have this agricultural character. So we're looking at crop rows and hedgerows, community gardens, orchards, elements in the landscape that will really call towards the district plan. We identified key elements for the community parks, neighborhood parks, and trail interconnections. As Lauren mentioned, our first sub-area in the north section will provide a very unique or distinctive variety of housing. Single-family detached, alley-loaded, single-family detached, alley loaded, single family detached, paired home and town home, all surrounded by the Central Neighborhood Park here, and in close proximity to the Community Park and extension of the open space to the Prairie Lakes Park. We have sort of one of the celebratory street, the North South street that takes from the barn, heads down south, connecting the barn in the community, mixed use, the neighborhood park, the community connection park, and then the sub-district to park to the south. The barn amenity, as you can see in this rendering, we are lifting the top, creating a more dramatic barn element, creating a silo as a monument sign, as an icon, reinforcing that agricultural landscape with crop rows, community gardens and orchards. As Lauren mentioned, the PUD outlines that open space framework and the circulation patterns. Quick comparison of the initial PUD to our proposed PUD this evening, the 2004 PUD contained about four I calculated 548 acres. You had a different number. Our acreage right now is at four hundred and seventy six acres. If we include Maygors and Higgins, which are two opportunities for us to dedicate public land dedication. Let's go back. Let's go forward. Maygors and Higgins are like located right over here. That'll be part of our public land dedication for the Prairie Lakes Open Space. The land use is compared to the existing PUD and the proposed PUD or identical. Single family detached, attached and multifamily residential mixed use, which would allow commercial residential and office, parks, open space, a school site, as well as off-site land educations. The maximum dwelling units, the original PUD, allows 1,750 units, which is about a 3.8-d use per acre. Understanding we have actually two numbers. We have a maximum number of units at our 2,000. We're planning on building 1,500 and providing open space for 1,500. Anything over the 1,500, we would obviously dedicate additional land or of cash and loo. So our density ranges from 3.2 to 4.2 dees per acre. And again, the open space ranges. Regional PUD was at 136.9 and we're at 125.8, based on the 1500 units. The original PUD, as I mentioned in the original plot process that Microchurch and attempted under the original PUD, did not contain the development standards. We've worked very diligently with staff to create development standards that I believe we're going to represent the comprehensive plans vision. So our new development standards I think are one of the key benefits to this PUD. We are here to answer any questions and we're just appreciate your time. Thanks. Is that it for the presentations? Yes. Okay At this time we'll take questions Questions only from the audience is there any questions? Hearing none is there anybody in the audience that would like this? Oh, we do have a question. Please come forward questions only please come forward. Questions only. Hello, I'm Pauline Seeger. I'm 13590 Sable. So I'm right on the corner of 136th Insaible, which is labeled pink. So I'd like to know what's going to go there. Okay. 136th Insaible, or mixed use areas, everything that is labeled in the pink would be allowed to have residential, office, or retail commercial. So that is in a later phase. That's in our third sub area. So it's really hard to determine exactly what would be there. But those would be the three allowed uses as of the beauty. Okay. I just have one more comment to make that horrifies me. I'm on that corner, and as you will see later, she's got videos that I'd like to show you, my life is already in danger. Please keep that in mind. Is there any other questions? Yeah. Is there anybody other questions? Is there anybody in the audience who would like to speak on behalf of the request? Is there anybody in the audience who would like to speak against the request? Madam City Clerk, have we received any correspondence in favor or against the request? No, you're on our agenda. The questions and comments from City Council. Council Member Mills. Thank you Mayor, thank you, Lauren, and everyone for the presentation made. My questions are related to you know as table Boulevard tends to be getting busier even without this development in place at this moment. Are there any plans in this maybe I I mean, the applicant doesn't have a huge footprint on table as it does on other roadways, but is there any improvement plans areas like this start to develop. I'll attempt it but make my finish. So, Sable is a minor arterial and the minor arterial cross section. I don't know. Can we go back to my presentation? Oh, there it is. You're right there. The minor arterial cross section, let me see here. Lays out. You had it. 110 foot right away. So that would be a requirement in our development in terms of a minor arterial alongsable, right? We also as in Lawrence presentation have committed to an additional 30 foot landscapes at back obviously to to ensure that the residents are set back from that traffic. But we will be building out what the city's master plan transportation for a minor arterial. So I think this question is more on the city planning side because obviously the applicant and their footprint on Savel is not as big. They're calling it a minor arterial. Anybody in this room that's driven Savel, it is a more major arterial. There's a highway off ramp from I-76 and that's the main thorough way from the bottom end of town coming over to the main part of town. So I would really want to see what kind of future improvement ideas or plans we have to help boulevard be a more viable. It's already busy. It's got buses, school buses, because the school barn is down there. Going back and forth all day long on school days. And even when school's not in session, there's a lot of traffic. We had to put a signal at 136 and say, we'll couple years back. What, I mean, do we have any improvement plans? Or is there any developers coming in that is gonna help contribute to that? So I'll start, but I'll let Director Woodruff maybe potentially finish your answer or your question. So first, this project is proposing several North South construction of several North South roadways that will alleviate some of the congestion and providing more connectivity through this project. Currently the only North South in the series, sayable VAR 27th and then all the way to the West is 85. So there will be additional connectivity provided by this project in its full build out capacity. I know director Woodruff might have some additional comments with regards to current city plans on stable boulevard and kind of what's going on right now. Thank you, Mayor and City Council. Council Member Mills, right now in the infrastructureructure Department we are looking at several things associated with sayable boulevard. We're getting ready to conduct some speed studies in that area to determine the adequate speeds for sayable boulevard as it transfers between 120th and Bromley. As far as the development is concerned obviously as this development progresses the infrastructure department will be involved in the review of their development plans and any associated improvements that would be made with stable boulevard in accordance to our approved transportation master plan. We haven't gotten that far in this process obviously at this time, but I can assure you that we'll continue to look at whatever options are available to us and the developer to make improvements to say we'll both are going forward relative to the impact of the development. Thank you Director Woodward-Durif and I just want to comment that considering stable Boulevard and as we grow and the developer they called it minor arterial, but it is a bigger arterial. I mean, you're going to have a lot of people that may move into this new development, and they're going to use tableable of our, more than what I believe is being planned right now. So that stuff really needs to be considered. That's the main thorough way, like it said, get on to I-76 and go into a lot of other areas so I really want that to be considered. Also while this is not the footprint of the current applicant 144th and stable will also be more busy. Right now there's a lot of congestion and there's been some accidents there. Is there a possible signal coming maybe in our future over there? Well, obviously as you well know, excuse me, certain warrants have to be met for us to install a signal at any intersection within our city boundaries. We're going to continue to look at that whole corridor, as I mentioned before, between 120th and Br in the stable corridor there. We'll look at that intersection, we'll revisit the 136 in stable intersection at the same time. As I mentioned before, we're doing some speed studies. We are looking at accident reports, traffic infraction reports will be examining those over time also to see what improvements could be made and need to be made throughout that corridor. Thank you. I appreciate those efforts. Next part on the new build where the alignment of 19th is going to be built. And this is probably more for the applicant here. What's the capacity of the street bill? Is this a partial build where future developers can build the other side like we've seen in other developments? Or is this a full build of a street that still does not exist? As working with the city in this development, 19th is a, I believe, a collector. And our half of the collector would normally be built by us. The other half would be built by the adjacent property owner. We've worked with the city and in the area that is in the agricultural preservation area, the city has agreed to bear some of the cost on that adjacent on the half there and then the other part of that would also be born, I think, a portion of that by the Prairie Center because of Prairie Center borders that street too. So normally we bear the cost of our half of the street and the adjacent property owner bears the cost. And the bottom line is the city has stated that we will make sure that it gets built to a full collector when it is built. So we're going. So does that mean two lanes or four lanes now? Well, the collector is two lanes, always two lanes. Two less start and then- I think there's been times when maybe a half a collector has been built and it's created problems. I think the city was very forthright saying we want to make sure that 19th when it's built is a full-fledged collector that can handle the traffic. That's what I want to know. Thank you. Thank you for your help and in clarifying this. Council member Blackhurst. First of all, I think we're all very excited about this project. The concept, this will be truly unique, not only to Brighton, it's probably going to be pretty unique in the Denver Metro area. And I think we're all excited to see how this develops. But along with Councilman Mills, I have to say that my main concern is not so much with your project, but with the roadways, 136th. We need to have a plan. And I guess I'm talking to staff rather than the developer. Because on the south side, for a good portion there, that's in the county and that's residential. And they're not going to build out 136th. We've got to have a plan in place so that when this project builds the north side of that 136th, and I think that's a what's the designation? 136 is a major arterial. So there's a four lane? Correct. And we've got to look forward to that because as we go east from this project until we hit 27th, I have is the next major roadway before Whidens back out. We need to have a plan. This is about potentially 6,000 residents. If we're lucky that's 5,000 cars and you take the addition and the continued build-out of Indigo Trail area and how many homes that's, and those should be under construction and probably later this year. I see some of the roadways are going in now and when we expect to see, we need to plan on how those people are going to get in and out of the city and not strictly what the developer is going to build but what the city is going to be forced to do to make it work the developer's going to build, but what the city is going to be forced to do to make it work. So it's going to flow. You build a four-lane roadway from this project and on both sides of it is a two-lane. We're getting right back into the same mess we've experienced in a number of other places including Bridge, now addressing. So we need a plan as this goes forward. I think we apparently have some time, but I think we need to start planning on how we're gonna use this roadways because as Councilman Mills pointed out, I drive those roadways quite frequently, almost every day. And the traffic increase on table and on 136th and 144th is amazing to me, additional. So I want to correct my statement. Major tiers are six lanes, median divided in most cases, but minor. I'm only laughing because I can see a six lane highway dropping down to a few. So Sable Boulevard? Country road. On both ends. Sable Boulevard is designated as a minor We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be able to do that. We're going to be really, really critical. Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember Johnston. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I just look at this and I wonder if this is what it looked like in the 80s when East Brighton was built. This makes me very nervous. A lot of this really admire what was said by Councilmember Mills and Councillor Blackhurst. I have so many questions. Let me start with the roads themselves. That answer is not sufficient for future residents of Brighton, nor should it be. The answer of we hope the other half will be built. I can go show you some of those. I can show you the dangerous roads that are built out in East Brighton from developments like these. One, we need to make sure as a city and as developers come in that they understand we're no longer going to allow for those kinds of things to happen. If you're going to build one side of a road, you build the other one. We figure out how to do it maybe with the developer and as a city. But I have a question now for the developer to see if that will have the ability to pay for this. Is there a metro district attached to this? Yes. And with the metropolitan district just to be clear, every metropolitan district, the residents pay a certain amount in to pay for infrastructure. Correct? Yes. So the residents that don't exist right now will have to come in. And sometimes unknowingly, because how this all ends up working with the real estate and the cell of real estate, and people not reading their paperwork enough, unwillingly, they're going to be paying another tax where often the city gets blamed for these taxes. But in essence they're paying for tax for half of a road. And I just really question that procedure both towards the city and to any developer. So with the metro district coming in, why is that not part of the plan to pay for the both sides of this road with the metro district money? That's lots and lots of money that comes in from residents. I would agree that it's a lot of money coming in for the residents. I would also say that it's a tremendous amount of dollars to develop both sides or a full six lane arterial growth through a development. So I understand where your position is. I also hope you understand that as a developer, we're called on to do more and more things and that is part of the Metro District, as far as parks and in arterials and drainage and everything like that that adds to the overall cost of the development and in order to make it affordable to the residents, the Metro District comes into play. Yes, I guess I would say that it is costly, but I'm sure there's profits being made regardless of the metro district. But beyond that, I want to go into the idea of what you just mentioned is the open space itself. The language here is, I've never seen this vague of language. I really urge all council members always to go into the notes of all PUDs and ODPs read every note. I want to read you a piece of this language real quick here. It says, Neighborhood Features. The Brighton Lakes Neighborhood will provide a wide variety of neighborhood features to offer unique experiences for young professionals, families, and active adults. The Neighborhood Features that we don't know what they are, we have no idea. The neighborhood features will count towards the park and open space requirements. And above that, so that's as vague as it can be, but then above that it also talks about how part of the open space that's listed on this map, which is obviously very minimal. We're giving away a lot of open space requirements for supposed things that will happen, including lakes. I didn't, don't even know exist. Beyond that, the idea of taking these open space parks and neighborhoods, the parks away and then putting in a proposed school site once again, proposed school site says it's an elementary school site. Another piece of open space gone. We just met with 27J and they'd say they don't need anymore elementary schools after the one they're building. And they probably won't for many years. It's actually further down the road. We're going to need middle schools and high schools. I'm just saying that the entirety of this ODP is really vague. It's not pointing to what this will consist of. It's pointing to a dream of what this may consist of, it's pointing to a dream of what this may consist of. The other piece of this definitely is the question of the name change. We have a problem right next to this development where people that come into Brighton think that they're driving into Prairie Center, a town called Prairie Center. We have not had the ability of a city to actually brand our city well enough on some of our our actual roadways that are traveled heavily and I Wondering why the name Brighton is not included. I know a lot of people have said that Brighton East Farms was a bad name At least they know it exists in Brighton and we're not having to brand battle with all the residents of our community because that's what it really is because it Metro district money pays for signs, pays for signage. And I don't want people going down these major arterials and thinking that they're in far more. So that's kind of my feelings about this. I'm definitely not with what I see at this point in any way just to make that clear. Thank you. Maybe I should start out by addressing the name change from Brighton likes to farm law. What we were doing is wanting to embrace your agricultural heritage and rehabbing the barn, changing the name. And we thought that was a benefit and staff had indicated that they there were too many Brighton in name Brighton East Farm Brighton Crossing Brighton East Brighton that and so as a name of a project that this was embraced by your staff and so we did a lot of research with our marketing team to come up with this name. As like I say, to embrace what we believe that your community is wanting and will be in the future. And we want to be an integral part of that community. I totally respect that. And I understand that's what staff might think. I'm saying it could become another problem where we're having to over brand a developer when they have too much money coming in from Metro districts and tax breaks that we gave a lot of prairie center. So I'm just some of the open space. I purchased the parcels that owned the Maygors Lake over the years. I dedicated half the interest in Maygors back in 2001. I bought the interest in there in 94 I think. Higgins Lake, I did a separate purchase of that under a different entity. We're dedicating that to that regional open space. And we felt going back, and this goes back in long ways with the city, that that prairie regional open space is such an asset to the community that we worked on that. Also bought the agricultural piece that is the Eagle Preserve and worked with the Parks Department to get that as a preservation area. So I think what we've tried to do over the years is make this an integral part of your community in that open space. So I hope that may answer that question in part on the open space. And you have done that and I do commend you for that. I'm sorry to be so turse about this. It's just really trying to protect future residents as I feel I was not protected as a future resident as I moved into East Brighton. So thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Thanks, Lauren. Can I just address to the other comments? Of course. Because they were really good. We have met and spoken with Carrie Mott from 27J quite a bit. She's very aware of this site. They're very interested in this site. She likes the proximity, we're surrounded by the residents in terms of being central to the property. So we have made that communication just so you're aware of that. That's great. Also the parks and open space, on the text and the beauty, We've purposely let it vague. We will be required to meet the city's requirement for uses within a neighborhood park and a community park. That's already established in the parks and open space requirements. So we didn't repeat it again when we know we're gonna be required based on what the city already established. That's totally fair. Thank you very much. Councilman Humbert. My questions are not list oration. First of all, anybody who's traveled on a table, I'm wondering where the 110 feet is gonna come from to widen that road. And that's the first question. I guess we had answered the second question is unrelated, but I have some concerns about the barn. And I'm hoping that there's enough structural integrity with the existing barn that the historic part of that will be maintained. Those are my two questions. So just very quickly, I'll address the right of way shown in for minor arterial. So obviously at this point, the location of the right of way is not determined at this time. Being that there are several properties adjacent to this project that are in the county's jurisdiction and owned by private landowners. Those negotiations would potentially be down the road at the time of development. And so at this time at the zoning level, we would not be determining locations of rights of way because it's just not it's not the time to do that since we're not building these roadways at this time in the future. As far as the parks and I was just saying we wanted to talk about that very briefly or the barn. Yeah. The barn We are planning on beginning the rehab of that barn within the next I'd like to say 90 to 180 days. The barn has been certified by an engineer, the structural integrity. You're welcome to go out there. There is not a crack in the brick all the way around the barn. So the structural integrity is excellent. We will be changing the roof on that to make it look more like a true barn rather than a, I hate to say the word machine reshiet. But it right now has a very low pit. So we're going to give it a horse barn as you might have seen in the rendering there. So we're very excited about doing that and making that a focal point of our community. I'd like to add that in my closing comment is on 10 feet again, but a lot of your neighbors are here I think and I don't know if they have the same question or not. I'm sorry, I'm not close to the microphone. A lot of your neighbors are in the audience, I believe, and just knowing that they're gonna have, they probably will have to deal with that down the road. Mayor Pro Temp. I don't think I'll ask you about any of the streets, okay? There are rough ways at this point in time. A couple of things. Certainly I concur with Councilman Blackhurst in the uniqueness of this development, which I know has been coming on for years and years and years. In fact, I can't remember how many times you stood in front of us and trying to get some things done. And then, of course, we ask how long it's going to take to build us out. And of course, we all know that general economic conditions in the last turn down caused a delay in your particular deal. So I want to ask you how long it's going to take to build this out. But I really like it and you know one of the more interesting things that has happened is there is now and I hope I've got it corrected at this point. We now have developed a name with Adams County is historic Splendor Valley. Splendor Valley. Are you aware of that particular? embrace the splendid valley. I attended the planning commission hearing last, very last and will do a presentation to the, I call it the district plan, but it's now called splendid valley. I think it's being renamed at least I think the commission. And so our goal is to work with them as we move forward. Well you know that's super so you know obviously and I appreciate your adaptation from early 2000 to now adapting to the 2016 comprehensive plan so that's awesome. I guess one of the questions that I have besides just commenting on how much I think this The community will benefit is the low density of how many units and I did that was like point five to five acres So are you gonna have any one acre sites or? I guess you want to answer that So generally the comprehensive plan would show a range of density and load in the load density designation, which would be 0.5 units per acre to 5, 2, all units per acre. Okay. And so basically this project falls within that, at least the overall density would fall within that, although there'll be densities ranging from 3 to 20 units per acre within the project. There's also medium density residential in this project along with the goals of the comprehensive plan to provide a mixture of housing types. Right, okay. Thank you. So you could have up to, would you say, a half acre? That's 20,000 square feet. There wouldn't be likely lots of that size based on the dedication of open space, but in parks, however, that would be the range. You know, the lots could vary based on the project from three dwellings for acre to 20 dwellings for acre. Okay. One of the things that I have been questions not only in your particular development. But at some point time, what is it sure intent to sell this entire to a production builder and let them come in? Or will local builders be able to purchase lots? My answer is no, it would not be my intent to sell the entire project to a production builder. I had been a, I call it a local or small builder for many, many years and I would cherish the fact that we could get local builders into the development. I would love it because I we could get local builders into the development. I would love that because I believe we need more of that. Well, I think that would provide an opportunity for something besides ever third house being identical. So, you know, I certainly, I support that. And just one other little quick deal. At one point in time, this goes back probably 20 years plus I was able to ice skate on one of those lots or one of those legs that you you bought out there and what not one of the previous owners and which I won't mention here actually got his tractor out there and scraped off the snow and here actually got his tractor out there and scraped off the snow and we actually had a boy scout ice skating party out there and we had a big bonfire and we didn't burn anything down but anyway it was a nice place to get warmed up. Thank you for purchasing and allowing that. I think that's very forethinking in especially with the eagle preserve and all that concept out there. And I really look forward to having that developed into obviously trails and parking deal. That will be an awesome addition to our city. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor Patina. Council. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor Patel. Councillor Wilhelm Baca. Thank you, Mayor. So we're not done with the streets. The perimeter streets and I'm specifically talking about 144, stable and 136. So in the plan as it exists currently does it allow for those arterials to be built out? Does that make sense? Are we planning for that? I mean I know I know we are planning for that on paper but is that what this looks like before we approve? So the master's. So the master transportation plan plans for all those roadways to be built at some point to those to those rights of way and withs This development would aid in that The impacts exactly to be Determined at a later point, you know when something would be built, you know based on the traffic impacts But it would the plan would be that these that this development would build It's adjacent roadways and that obviously during the design of those roadways, with consultation of the infrastructure department, we would, staff would ensure that those roadways would be built within the available right away or the acquired right away and functional. But that would be sort of a design decision that would be made later down the line as we got more specific about where the layouts would be in the connections. Okay, I understand that the adjacent landowners, whoever they may be, if it's the county or if it's the city, would build, the developers are going to build half the roadway and the other half the roadway is going to be the responsibility of these other parties. To the resident's point that came up earlier, there is no room on 136 to build the roadway to the south. So I only see construction to the north. If we're going to expand that roadway, it will have to be to the north. There's no way around that. And I really fear that if we consider this tonight, most of us are probably not going to be here in the five to 10 years coming up. And I don't want to put a bomb into the hands of the next council where we had to deal with some very unsafe roadways up in another development. Because as I time you go from council to council, you know, everything, then there's variables. What are trends in where people are moving and housing, and then what is the recession hit bright and really, really hard. And we have sleeper cells, I'll call them sleeper cells, where there's open space in Brighton, where they will be developed at some point. So I've seen these types of developments, nothing against this current developer, that have stretched on for decades. And my fear is if we approve it in its existing form without planning for the roadways, who's going to deal with the roadways when that phase of the development comes, that's my question tonight. As we move forward with the development, we will be required to update our traffic study for each filing that we do. And as we do that and their traffic improvements are warranted, we will need to work with the city in figuring out that. And it's part us and it's part the city. We also, for every permit pool, we pay, I think, is it $3,000 a unit? No, I'm sorry, I don't have that right. $1,700 a unit for traffic impact fees. So, you know, it's a, how do we work together to use those fees to take care of those areas and things. So it's a collaborative effort between the developer and the city's staff of how we develop those roads. But it's I would say it's impossible for a developer to go and say we're going to develop all the roads around the city and so it's not easy. I understand. But it's how we work together on that and that's our goal and I might add we're right now working on 144th that way to take care of the full street section along ours. So yeah. I respect that. The city will realize an immediate impact from residents. An increase in volume on all of those roadways. And I think we have an obligation to provide safe roadways. I see Holly coming up behind you. So I appreciate the developers, I appreciate that. My concern is really long term on what that looks like and putting it in the hands of another council. I don't want to give them something incomplete where if we have the opportunity to address it tonight. Mayor, members of council and council member Baco, the one thing that we need to look at also is, moving forward in the infrastructure department, whether it be underground utilities or whether it be surface improvements, is to look at not under developing improvements and not having incomplete infrastructure. And that's one thing that we need to look at. And I think that specifically addresses a concern that you have is what's going to happen with those words in the future. How are they going to get built? How are we going to manage the traffic associated with that? And I think working with the developer, working with adjacent landowners, if that road needs to move to the north, we may need to look at that. But I think one of the things that we need to look at going forward as a staff is to ensure that we're not underdeveloping our infrastructure and that we're not developing incomplete infrastructure and making sure everything ties in and we provide the services to the community that they need both in a safe and modal manner. Okay, I appreciate that. So then my next question is I've been here my entire life. I started on the Parks and Rec board and 136th Avenue was always envisioned that that would be the gateway trail to Bar Lake. So are we constructing a trail along 136 Avenue? Is that part of this development? There would be a trail on the north side of 136 Avenue as part of it's part of a master plan for the group, a larger group trail through the whole community and then also this development will be building its portions of the trails through their project. Okay, thank you for that. So as long as I've been on the council, we have not seen this size of a development. We'll approve a small residential development. This is an extremely large development. I know I'll walk out of here tonight and someone's going to ask me, where did you get the water? Where's the water coming from? So do you want to talk about water dedication, how that all works? What? Mickey can ask that. Water is a tough item to really figure out and address in our whole Northern Colorado or I say Colorado. What we have to do as we move forward on the project, we have to go out and bring water to the city for this development. So as we do a part of the development, we've got to bring that water in. That's our responsibility. I know I've worked some with Don and looking at other, you know, resources of water. We do have some water. We have enough water to begin on the development, but it will require a tremendous amount of water. And I think long term, this also has to be a collaborative effort between the development community and the city of what you do to bring in supplies. Because a developer can't spend $100 million to bring in thousands of acre feet of water somewhere down the loan by their own it needs to be working with the city and their I say utilities department or division so it's but it's it's going to be hard for water in Down the road I would like to say differently, but I know that So as water dedication is that handled it? Is that the planning stage then? It's captured there. Okay. Correct. So at the development agreement stage, we'd be looking with the plants, we'd be looking at water dedication, the construction requirements, and some of the other sort of, you know, on the ground improvements would be determined and brought back to you at that time at development agreements. So you all, or the future council, would see those improvements required as the plotting is allowed to occur. I know water is difficult, it's not impossible, but it's difficult to obtain up, and that's what I'm hearing up here in the north or north area um I guess this is a question for the city at what point Do we realistically look at water sources because we are also competing with developers and Farmers that are in the area. So I think it would be who best to go out and do a water study of like what is realistic of how big we can build. That is a question that this community hasn't answered. They don't want to answer. They're afraid of scaring off development if they do answer that. And I just think that we need to start talking about and it's gonna be water and that's not just unique to brighten, that's with all communities. Where are we sourcing water from and how ready available is it? So, do you to answer that? Sure. Yeah, I think it's an excellent point. It's one that we wrestle with all the time. And we have several staff members that are part of our water acquisition team that's really all they're dealing with. And it's really even a more expanded problem than just the resource. It's the ability to treat the resources we have. And so that's another piece of what the Infrastructure Department and the Utilities Division is looking at constantly. But it's part of why we put the $5.5 million into our city budget this year. We're consistently looking for opportunities to spend those dollars and to make sure that those have an impact on our ability to grow. But we're certainly, this is what I would say, you know, sort of in response to how well we measure that is we're having to take these, you know, a piece of the time. We're having to look at each of these and saying, okay, if we're bringing in 250 units, then we've got to make sure that we've got the water for that. And typically the developers know that, you know, the water court process is one that can take several years. And so that's part of why oftentimes they're trying to get a jump today to say, okay, by 2022 then we can build or if they came a few years ago then they're able to now because the water has been transferred to us. But it is something that we're very cognizant of, and Mike, I don't know if you have anything else to add to that, but it is something that we have several staff members every day working on on our behalf. Yes. Mayor Councilmember Baca, we are looking aggressively at acquiring water. Obviously, those opportunities come and go. Sometimes they surprise us that they become available to us to look at, but we are aggressively looking in the water resource division for water opportunities now. We do have money plugged into the budget to purchase water when it does become available. It's just one of those things that sometimes water is pretty tight, lipid in the area. A lot of people don't talk about available water. Sometimes that delegates into a bidding war, which we obviously want to try and avoid if we can. So we do have people that kind of work behind the scenes for us that help us identify potential water acquisition solutions for us. But we will continue to do that. We also look at that as far as what water we have now, what is our buffer, where do we look at growth going in the next two, three, four, five, six, seven years? What are what are what are needs going to be there? We try to project that out. But we also look as the city manager alluded to, we have to treat that water. So we also have to look at plan expansion and we're also looking at that now. We have a pretty aggressive plan that will be coming forward very soon and to expand our to expand our current treatment process. But again as we continue to treat water we have to have water to treat so it all goes hand in hand for us but I can assure you that we are aggressively pursuing any opportunity that becomes available to us in regards to water acquisition. Okay I appreciate that that was a that was a lot of talk. You know I'm really really you know we prior to the city manager coming on board the council at the time our long range planning department, long range planning came to us and I understand that there's enough properties and developments in the queue in Brighton to go for the next 20 years. So we have to answer the question of how are we going to grow and where is the water coming from? And what do we want? What is that cap? What does that eventually look like? So that's a conversation away from this and I'm getting a little sidetracked, but that's a concern of mine. I know that's a concern of constituents in my ward. So my last question is and what you brought up, Lauren, and if you can explain the consequences of the vested property rights, so staff recommended three years of vested property rights, developers requesting ten years vested property rights mean and what would that look like if we were to approve three years? What does that look like beginning on the fourth year? potentially are a provision of the code that we have under Colorado revised statutes to allow for a site specific development plan. In this case, it would be the plan new development to exist without changes being able to be proposed by the city for the time period that is requested. So in this case, three years is our typical vesting that is shown in our code for PUDs. The applicant is requesting 10 years. What that would look like is essentially for the period of time of vesting that the city would not be able to bring forth any amendments to this project. I would not prohibit the applicant from bringing prod changes forward to this project, but it would essentially lock the approval in place for the time period. So at year four, if the city takes no action on the best thing, or to rezone the property, the zoning stays in place until it is repealed by the city or the applicant. So there would be a public process in order to change the project if that investing was not in place. Okay, thank you. Still have, thank you. Councilwoman Pollock. Thank you. Hi, so I think that everyone in on council has voice their concerns, ask their questions. Ten years. That's a long time to tie anything up. So there will be lots of changes. We'll hope. I agree with Councilwoman Baca that we should not tie the hands of the next council. Quite a few of us are not gonna be here next year. And I just don't think, I don't have a crystal ball and I can't see in advance how this looks pretty good, but I don't know how it's gonna work. If it's gonna work, we have water issues, we have lots of issues, we have growing issues. So I would concur with Councilwoman Baca and I would not vote to have this done right now. Thank you. We're going to be able to do that. Before we start round two, we've been sitting here a long time. I guess I'll chime in and then we'll do round two and try to land this plan C where we are. I echo what Mayor Pro Tem said in terms of when you look at this plan, it's kind of exciting. It's kind of neat. We know that we're going to grow to the south and to the east. But I think we've all said when we all ran for office, we want responsible growth. And we want to make sure that when we do grow, we're going to go right. To say no to this whole thing, I don't think that would be the right thing to do. It's been so much have already happened before the annexation. But we have this one chance to do it and we have it to do right. We've spent a lot of time working on our district plan and we keep talking about preserving our agricultural heritage. And my fear of this is that we're going to try to preserve our agriculture heritage right in the middle of a big racing track. And I think that if and when, I don't know so much as an if, this bill that is going to happen, but let's do it and let's do it right. Make your great asset to our community and now is the time for your company to make their name and say, let's do it right. I have a lot of concerns to the fact we're out there in our pleasant valley and we've got agriculture out there, we still have and we still want, we buy farmland, we want farming to take place, we've got farm implements and to throw in major arterials and not do anything. I mean, we need to be able to move the traffic, but I would like to see a serious and maybe at state of the art traffic calming plan for the whole area to slow things down in terms of the way people travel to make sure that we have enough area for them to travel in. But I think we need some role. Traffic calming strategies here to North Southeast West. If you're going to come in contact with a tractor several years ago, a few years ago, we had a farmer that was killed on his tractor trying to cross the intersection. So let's really take a look at and do it right. You know, we've got area for mixed use. We have to understand that we're also mixing into the agricultural area. So let's do it all and let's do it correctly. I agree with, I think most Councilman's and Councilman Johnston, I will not go for any half-built street. I'm not going to go there. And at the same time, when the plan is, well, the city is going to come up with a way to do the other half, then we don't have a plan. Because it's going to come to us and I just think there's a lot of unanswered questions, although the plan looks good, I think it needs a lot of tweaking. Again, to respect the area, to respect the needs of our district plan, to respect our agriculture that's happening out there. You know, major arterials, minor arterials, there's a lot that's happening here. And I think we stand, we, we, there really is an opportunity for us to become a showcase on how you took and you mixed the two and we slowed people down to where they enjoyed their visit as they came to and from and people didn't feel like their lives were at danger. As we start going through council, we've got three measures that we're gonna be asked to vote on. I'd like to bring attention to in 7C, it says to favorably recommend further development. I think this needs further development. So I'm not saying that I want to stand in front of it, but I do say I am saying I think we need to further develop this. This I know that it takes density to make it work economically, Mick. But I'd like to see maybe backing off on some density if we possibly could. And then really taking a look at and answeringth Avenue, the only place that you've got land to to to to expand those roadways and now we're talking a path with which I think is a good idea or trail is to the north. I'd like to see that. I just would like to see it all in there as as we go forward. I do think that this needs further development and it's hard for us to look into the crystal ball and say I'm going to put my stamp on it now based upon what we have in front of us right here. I will open it up for round two for council. I will remind them of the time and the fact we have a huge agenda ahead of us and ask you to have your comments somewhat point it. And is we move forward? Councilmember Mills? Thank you Mayor and real quick thank you thank you to all the staff that you've been called upon for various things that we've had to questions on. I just thank you for coming to us last moment on some questions. Really quick, there are some talk just moments ago about the branding and identity of our community. And as these developments develop like this farm war, it would be nice to see still some bright and branding on there. And not only this development but future development. So communities like Thornton are really good at branding their brand with developments as we see when any of us drive through their community. And I would encourage and really actually request that we do something similar for communities like this farm lore if this goes forward and to have some co-branding of Brighton with this and even other community developments. Thank you. Council Member Johnston. Thank you once again Mr. Mayor. I just want to say something kind of along the lines of what Councillor Mills said is the reality is I know that this personal staff director pray their your staff director would I know that from the city mangers office down we won't allow roads to be built half way anymore I appreciate the council is on that path too but we all could be gone before it gets to that point. All of the directors could be going, documents and government live. Everything that we're doing today will matter, even though I trust this developer, I trust our staff and trust the council's trying to do the right thing. We need to get it right on the document. So I will be, I think there's been a lot of notes taken also by a lot of the parties involved. And I still wanna go through those notes. I want you to all go through those notes and come back to us at a future date is gonna be my recommendation after we hear the rest of the comments, but I think it's very important that we allow you to go and rebuild this because right now it's just not there for us, but thank you. Kelsu Oubaka. Thank you. Thank you Mayor for your summer. I really appreciate it. I know that to get to this point for the developer is very expensive to make these design plans and roadway plans. And I don't think the lift is all on the developer. I think we have a responsibility as a city of Brighton if we're going to call out streets and street safety that we have a lift in this too. We have to have some skin in the game and I think we should direct staff in the county that we should direct staff to engage the county and at least look at conceptual roadway designs around this because this is not all development. This is this is Brighton. This is the county, and it might impact Perry Center was mentioned. I don't know if there are any other personal property owners along those routes, but the area is only gonna get bigger and where we need to address this. It's been a long time. The road roadway is getting especially stable is much busier than it's ever been and we need to start addressing these items so thank you very much. Thank you. Anybody else final comment? Hearing none I'll close the public hearing. The matters before Council, lecture pleasure. Councilman Johnston. I had given a CD to Laura Simons that I wanted to show you guys a draft. Do I not get the opportunity? Who is the public? Mr. Regiorri, could you direct that? So when the mayor asked if there was anybody to speak, you know, posed, you didn't answer. I did come up to the class. And I also mentioned that I still have a recipe that I want. Right. So if you showed, if you would have shown that during your public comment,
